Playlist recs are going on hold for now. (The vast majority that I have backlogged link to 8tracks.)

This past week I was listening to 8tracks on my work computer and noticed that each g**gle search started redirecting to b*ng. This is apparently caused by malware and/or a browser hijacker. 

NOTE: I use Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin and this issue still occurred.

I didn’t realize it was 8tracks at first, but that was the only ‘new’ site I was using.

When I tested my home PC, I noticed the search engine redirect was happening there as well. The commonality was 8tracks. I had to run security scans on both PCs (nothing found, thankfully), completely clean and refresh my browser settings, and start with a clean slate.

I can’t even report the issue, since I don’t want to touch their website again until this is fixed. :(

Summary:

“Look,” Faraday tapped the ash off his cigarette into a plastic solo cup full of sand that he kept tucked into the cup-holder in the center console, a sort of poor-man's ashtray, “worst case scenario, I run into a spook with a bad attitude and wind up getting banned from yet another of California’s many proud testaments to yesteryear. Won’t be the first time it happens and probably won’t be the last, either. Best case, I don’t run into any ghosts at all, nobody catches me talking to myself and worries about my sanity, and we all get to go on pretending that our entire family doesn’t think I’m in the middle stages of some weird psychosis until ma brings it up at Christmas after a few too many hot toddies.”

However, please note there is not a bestiality tag for this fic, and it never will have one -- just in case that might be a concern for some readers. ; )

Summary:

Over and over, Obi-Wan woke up and wished he hadn't.

Palpatine wouldn't stop until Obi-Wan had Fallen, wouldn't stop until Obi-Wan gave Palpatine a shattered galaxy in payment for his release.

He couldn't save himself, Obi-Wan had come to terms with that.

What he hadn't realized was that didn't mean there was no way to be saved.

Summary:

The first time you fall in love, your wings come in. They cannot form due to passing fancy or mere infatuation; it must be a deep and steadfast love that is nurtured and fed over time. Wings cannot grow by chance or accident—and so it is to Javert’s great horror that his wings begin to grow during Toulon.
