mific: John sheppard looking sad or worried against stone wall, half out of frame (Shep - sad)
([personal profile] mific posting in [community profile] fancake Mar. 21st, 2026 10:32 pm)
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Dave Sheppard, John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Ronon Dex, Teyla Emmagan, Sam Carter, Radek Zelenka
Rating: Teen
Length: 7998
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: busaikko on AO3
Themes: Siblings, Family, Post-canon, Outsider POV

Summary: Dave Sheppard learns more about his brother and gets drawn into a tangle of secrets and truths.

Reccer's Notes: This is from Dave's POV, as he and John cautiously reconnect via emails, then more, after their father's funeral. I really like Dave here, separated from his wife and still in love with her, baffled by John and wanting to understand him better. They do gradually reconnect, and eventually some Trust shenanigans lead to Dave meeting all John's team and being read in about the Stargate program. The characterisations of Dave and John are excellent, with Rodney's relationship with Jennifer Keller, then with John, happening in the background. One of my favourite Dave Sheppard fics.

My partner was out for a walk given the unusually warm weather we've been having. He texted me excitedly that he thought the swan might be back. (Some of you may remember we got a weeklong visit from one last year).

Then as he came closer he realized the swan seemed unmoving and stiff...

Fandom: MCU
Pairings/Characters: Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers
Rating: Gen
Length: 15k
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] rosepetalfall 
Theme: siblings, family

Summary: Bucky’s dad always says what they do is important.

“We give people the dignity they deserved in life,” he says, seriously.

Uncle Danny laughs at that. “Jimmy-kid,” he says, “your old man has got some real trumped up notions of what it is we do. Death ain’t beautiful. We just help create the illusion that it can be.”

Reccer's Notes: This is a really interesting look at Bucky's life before the war, and his family, and all the things that shaped him. The OCs are very well drawn and I love the details and thematic resonance of the family business.

Fandom: Les Misérables - Victor Hugo
Pairings/Characters: Cosette/Courfeyrac
Rating: teen
Length: 125k
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] AMarguerite 
Theme: siblings, humor, novel-length, epic works, old fandoms, book fandoms, small fandoms, AU, fork in the road, family, everybody lives, crack, female friendship, fixit, happy endings, just plain fun, politics, rare pairings,

Summary: Courfeyrac falls through the roof of no. 7 Rue de l'Homme Armé, taking down not only the ceiling, but the carefully built walls Valjean has constructed around himself and Cosette. Wacky hijinks ensue.

Reccer's Notes: This fic is madcap and fun in all the best ways. The shenanigans and hijinks are wonderful ... and at the core of those shenanigans and hijinks are Courfreyac and his siblings, as they draw Cosette into a quirky but loving family. (And also try to get everyone safely through cholera and a failed revolution.) I love all of the distinct and interesting characters, both canon and OC. I love the shenanigans. I love that Cosette gets a chance to truly blossom and form friendships. It's wonderful

Fandom: Ballet Shoes
Characters/Pairings: Posy Fossil
Rating: General
Length: 5203 words

Theme: siblings, family, female characters, gen, book fandoms, old fandoms, small fandoms, future fic

Summary: "There was a terrific row when Nana found out I'd only written one letter so she's sent me to write to you all properly, only I don't have anything left to say now and I do think it's silly to have to copy out the same letter twice." Posy Fossil's letters to her sisters from ballet school in Czechoslovakia, 1936-1938.

Reccer's Notes: Ballet Shoes is a delightful story about three sisters in 1930s Britain, their guardian, and their nanny. At the end of the story, one goes off to Hollywood under a studio contract, one goes to live by an aerodrome to learn to fly, and the youngest (Posy) goes to Czechoslovakia to be trained as a ballet dancer. Posy, the youngest, loves her sisters but is also self-centered and focused on her dancing. This is the first time she's ever been away from her sisters since she was a baby, and the letters trace that relationship even as they're hundreds and thousands of miles apart. But no matter how far apart they are, no matter how different their lives are, they still love one another. [personal profile] deepdarkwaters captures Posy's character, and her relationship with her sisters, perfectly.

I mostly post about: whatever my brain latches onto... right now it's stranger things... billy hargrove is EVERYTHING to me...



My hobbies are: drawing, writing, making graphics, practicing spiritual abilities, learning languages. swedish is calling to me rn, lol.



My fandoms are: stranger things, joe keery, joseph quinn, dacre montgomery, fred hechinger, old-school anime/manga/doujinshi, the kray twins... real life and legend (2015) with tom hardy.



I'm looking to meet people who: understand the difference between fiction and reality. we are all adults here and the internet used to be for FUN. let's bring that back!



When I add people, my dealbreakers are: to be completely honest, if you hate billy hargrove, then do not add me. we will NOT get along. also, i am unlearning decades of religious trauma, so if you're overtly christian... we're not a good match. sorry. :(



My posting schedule tends to be: whenever i can! working a Real Job takes up a lot of my time, but i do read everything.



Before adding me, you should know: i am very gay and very trans, and will not tolerate any form of homophobia or transphobia. non-religious spiritual psychic. yes, i do feel energy and am clairaudient and clairvoyant. i ship RPF and incest and "problematic" pairings unapologetically. i believe in the old internet belief of Do Not Like, Do Not Read. absolute creative freedom forever.

This past weekend the weather was lovely, so I took on the project of taking out the massive, invasive butterfly bush that was planted by the previous owners. It's been on the to do list for ages, and I'm very happy to have it finally done! We've so much more space now, and we won't have to worry about constant pruning to keep it from growing over the garden path. I thought for sure I was going to have to take up part of the path to dig it out, but somehow the roots were positioned such that it barely disturbed the path at all. I did relocate a number of strawberries and a few bulbs, but I had been planning on moving them anyway, so no loss there. 

I also cleared out dead growth from the square plot and found a lot of new calendula coming up, which is always exciting to see. I'm hopeful that I won't need to plant anything new in that bed, and that everything will have either self-seeded or will come back up on its own as the weather warms. My goal is to have most of the garden full of perennials and self-seeding annuals so I've less to do in terms of planting every year, but there's still lots of space to fill, so it'll be a couple of years yet before that's realized.

And in the backyard, I got the nettle potted up! It would be exciting to see that flourish this summer - safely far away from places people walk, and helpfully contained so as not to cause A Problem. I still want a few more pots out there for other aggressive spreaders - I have lemon balm I need to relocate from the front, and various other seeds in the mint family I'd like to plant without them taking over.

([personal profile] squidgiepdx posting in [community profile] fancake Mar. 19th, 2026 03:36 pm)
Fandom: The Pitt
Characters/Pairings: Michael "Robby" Robinavitch/Dennis Whitaker, Trinity Santos, Jack Abbot
Rating: Explicit
Length: 24,437 words
Creator Links: cold_cereal on AO3
Theme: siblings,

Summary: When Whitaker accidentally sends a dick pic to Dr. Robby, he never thought it would end like this.

Reccer's Notes: Well now...

With a summary like that you would expect nothing more than a PWP, but this is the furthest from that. We all know that Whitaker comes from Broken Bow, Nebraska and grew up on a farm with 3 brothers. But we never get any of that backstory - toxic or good - in canon.

Well that backstory shows up here, almost like there needed to be a wonderful plot to go along with the accidental dick pic share. We get to see Whitaker's parents and his brothers - and how he and one of his brothers escaped that small-town/small-mindedness. I'm not saying his one brother that "escaped" the mentality is all that great, but I know these small-town folks. Hell, I'm related to a lot of them. And I can read a compliment from what sounds like a bigot trying to do better, even if they don't have a frame of reference for that.

Basically, this is a fic about getting out of a small town, and leaving the small-mindedness behind.

This morning I went to check out the big insect hotel near the canal and I was just in time to catch a whole bunch of male European orchard bees who I am fairly sure had just hatched (the females will hatch a little later in the year).

Fandom: 陈情令 | The Untamed
Pairings/Characters: Jiang Cheng & Wei Wuxian & Jiang Yanli, Jiang Cheng/Nie Huaisang (background), Wei Wuxian/Lan Wangji (background), Lan Xichen, Jin Zixuan, Meng Yao, Wen Zhuliu
Rating: R for Graphic Depictions of Violence and Major Character Death
Length: 133,987 words
Creator Link: [archiveofourown.org profile] meyari
Themes: Siblings, Time Travel Fix-It, Women Being Awesome, Trauma & Recovery

Summary: As the Jianghu collapses around Jiang Cheng's ears, his borrowed core begins to fail. Wei Wuxian has one final trick up his sleeve, though the only person who can use it is the one person who has no core of his own: Jiang Cheng. Time travel may be impossible for everyone else, but Jiang Cheng has one slender, delicate chance to save the entire world. Of course he has to take it no matter what the cost might be.

Reccer's Notes: As soon as I saw this month's theme, I thought of this story. While time travel fix-its and core reveal fix-its are both common in the fandom, this story handles both tropes in ways I haven't seen any other story do. It also features amazing original characters, including several badass women of the Meishan Yu sect, and gives Jiang Yanli one of the best storylines I've ever seen. The rating is because there's still a war, and some characters still die, but it's a far different war, and they are far different deaths.

I do feel like I have to provide a caveat that this could use a serious line edit, by which I mean there is a grammatical or spelling error in nearly every sentence. It really says something that, despite this, I couldn't put the story down, and devoured all 100K+ words of it in the space of two nights.

This was a lot of fun the first time we did (2023, my how the years go by!), so why don't we do it again?

That's right, we're throwing ANOTHER adult-oriented prompt fest, over at AO3:

Narnia Spring Bacchanal Prompt Meme 2026

I mean, we've all read Prince Caspian. Bacchanals are canon, after all. ;)

Think about a kinkmeme and you've got the right idea. In this one, we're looking for adult-oriented fic: "Adult-oriented" covers sexually explicit, violent, horror, and dark fic of all stripes.

The prompt fest is a little looser than the NFE -- fills must be 300 words instead of 1000, you can submit up to 25 prompts, you can claim as many as you want, multiple people can fill the same prompt, there's no tag set, crossovers and fusion-fics are allowed! Only two real rules: 1) you must be over 18 to participate and 2) fills should be adult-oriented, so think the AO3 ratings of Explicit and Mature.

Prompting is going to open Friday, March 20th. Here's the schedule:

Prompting period: March 20th to March 30th
Prompt claiming period: March 31st to April 7th
Fics due date: May 1st
Fic reveals: May 2nd
Author reveals: May 9th


Some things to keep in mind!

1) Multiple prompts are allowed, but only one prompt at a time! If you would like to prompt Susan/Caspian, and Lucy/Sea Girl, prompt them separately. Unless you want a Susan/Caspian/Lucy/Sea Girl orgy, then prompt them together (of course you want that, who doesn't?)

2) No judgment! Remember: YKINMKATOK -- you don't have to be into the pairing/prompt/whatever, but please keep that to yourself.

3) Prompts are set to be Anonymous by default, but you are welcome to put them under your name if you'd like any fills to be gifted to you!

4) You can link to music/pictures/videos for inspiration in your prompt form.

5) You can prompt multiple fandoms and multiple characters in your prompt form, but again, each prompt is an individual prompt. So if you list seven different fandoms and 10 characters from all those fandoms, the prompt has to encompass that -- it can't be "I would like A/B from Narnia OR A/C from Narnia/His Dark Materials OR A/B/C from Narnia/The West Wing/Bridgerton." Those are all different prompts and should be submitted separately.

6) Here's the AO3 FAQ on prompt memes, which should answer some technical questions:

https://archiveofourown.org/faq/prompt-meme?language_id=en#promptmemewhatis

7) Because we don't use a tag set for this, you can't request "any" character. Here's the workaround: for character, select "original Narnian character(s)" and for relationship, select "original male character/original male character" or "original non-human character/original non-binary character" or "original female character/original female character" (OR ALL THREE, THE HEART WANTS WHAT THE HEART WANTS) and then clarify what you want in the prompt!

This is NOT replacing the Narnia Fic Exchange this year. The NFE will be held this summer as always!
