Share something you read recently that hit the spot, or was at least entertaining.

I was trawling through old fandoms and came across a White Collar/Oceans Eleven crossover that was entertaining: https://archiveofourown.org/works/19930546

Thank you for this, I really liked it!

A post-Whole Cake island Luffy/Sanji fic? Don't mind if I do.

Best one I've read. And so long. I need more.

The Limits of Reason (Pacific Rim, post-Uprising Newt/Hermann) https://archiveofourown.org/works/14772833/chapters/34165760

My favorite fic ever.

Do you think a reader could enjoy it going in blind- meaning not familiar with the fandom?

i'd say you want to at least understand a little about the canon and the dynamic between the characters. skimming a wiki page about the film plots might help as well as info on the two main characters in the fic. also the concept of Drifting is something that's important to the story. basically it's where two people meld their minds together by some sci-fi means and can see into each other's thoughts and memories, often forming a special bond after the experience.

the other important thing to understand is that the characters have kind of a complex relationship with each other. they bicker a lot and don't see eye to eye on some things but they also care about each other. they Drift together in canon (with a giant alien monster's brain that allows them to get a peek at its motives) but they also develop a deep bond after Drifting with each other. the last important thing to note is that one of the characters (Newt) later gets possessed by the aliens in the sequel film. the sequel is pretty bad and the alien possession thing never gets resolved so this fic falls squarely into the fix-it category for me.

OMG, thank you! I recently watched that movie for the first time and came away wanting a whole spin-off series focusing on those two, and Hannibal Chau. Bookmarking this fic for later!

Enjoy! I love the Newmann ship and imo this fic is perfect. It's like a soothing balm after what happened in Uprising.

Sell Your Body to the Night, by Dira Sudis (dsudis)
Teen Wolf, Stiles/Derek hooker!AU
This fic is so good it has changed how I look at hooker AUs and managed to make a kink that's a squick of mine hot.

if i go i’m going on fire, by taizi
One Piece, gen AU
Luffy dies at Marineford. Kind of outsider POV since the first part is told from Marco's perspective.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1552562
That Kind Of Day, by Neery
Captain America: Winter Soldier, gen
Outsider POV fic. A woman comes home to find the Winter Soldier in her apartment, waiting for Captain America. She's understandably terrified.

A Good Feeling, by dentalfloss
MCU, gen AU
Young assassin!Clint takes a job as custodian at Avengers Tower because he needs a legit job and source of income for a while.
I haven't had any interest in the MCU for almost a decade but I randomly found this fic and because it's dentalfloss, I had to read it anyway.

(And speaking of dentalfloss, an oldie but a goodie: https://archiveofourown.org/works/639003
Through the Glass
MCU, AU where Clint was brainwashed by a corrupt SHIELD agent into joining SHIELD.)

Oh wow I had totally forgotten bout thise two Clint fuc but now that you've reminded me - they were soooo good. I am absolutely going to go reread them now. Ty!

SA - so many typos >_

You're welcome! dentalfloss was one of my favourite authors when I was in the MCU fandom. When I stumbled across their "new" fic (published 2020, lol) I was hit with such a blast of nostalgia. I loved the tower fic era of the MCU.

Have fun rereading!

No, I haven't, and I haven't had the urge to recently, either. I think I was tired of it plus I had been reading the same pair and basic scenarios (by my own choice), and got bored. I'm currently reading the stack of physical books that I've bought over the last, oh, five years! This includes the super pretty, ultra charming copies of Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice (honesty there are so many pretty books out there and I love them all lol). So I'm looking at this the way I look at THC breaks: absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Oof pretty books are my weakness. I have the most beautiful copy of A Wrinkle In Time but I never read it, I have a dusty old ripped up copy I read and the pretty one is just to stare at lovingly lol

Any good new-to-you books you've read from your pile?

A few good ones:

The Perfume Collector by Kathleen Tessaro
Janis: Her Life and Music by Holly George-Warren
The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie
Punk Revolution! An Oral History of Punk Rock Politics and Activism by John Malkin
A Miscellany by John Muir

It's not the most prolific of properties, but I've recently grown fond of this almost-complete Malory Towers murder mystery: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30035271/chapters/73958442

Currently reading this Tony Stark/Peter Parker WIP about the fallout of their relationship becoming public knowledge. I like it for the world-building and the discussions about money and fame. No archive warnings apply.
