Summary
“Meburgers for dinner?” Ryland said, stepping backwards into his shoes in the main room.
Simon laughed, a little awkwardly. “Oh, dinner’s on me this time.”
“It’s a date!” Ryland laughed, but Simon could see Rocky standing behind him, raising two little fists in threat.

Summary
***
“What? You’re not wanting to actually do this soap opera appearance, are you?” Rocky asked.
Grace’s ears pulsed with blood flow and he gave a twitch of a shrug.
“I mean…kinda?” he said. “I love As Erid Turns.”
Rocky turned to Adrian.
“Well?”
“Well, what? I think he should do it,” Adrian said placidly.
“Adrian! Grace is not some—cheap floozy of an entertainer! He’s a respected interstellar scientist!”
***
OR: Dr. Ryland Grace, unlikely Eridian soap opera star.

I think about this fic almost daily. It’s beautifully written with lots of longing and love. Great world building, and hilarious writing. Also the clubbing scene is super hot- trust me.

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Bookmarker's Notes
This story changed my life. When I say that, I mean it in the most profound way. This opened my mom and I connect over something queer, which means the world to me. I never read unfinished stories, and I read this one on a whim. I'm so glad that I did. If you haven't read it yet, you should.
