This rec will post on Thursday, February 15th, jokingly known as "Singles Awareness Day" -- so I wanted to play with that idea by making this rec be for fics that aren't ship-focused!

Give me your friendship fics, celebrating the beauty of platonic relationships. Give me your in-depth character studies of a single person and their experiences. Give me your self-love fics, where a character is exploring their own pleasure without needing or wanting anyone else involved. Give me your family-focused fics, looking at relationships with parents or siblings. Give me your aromantic and/or asexual characters, who are single and loving it -- or still figuring themselves out and learning what that means. Give me your OT5 shenanigans, running around backstage or goofing around hotels and giving all their minders headaches.

These fics do not have to be 100% free of any mention of romantic/sexual relationships, but any such relationships should be a small part of the fic -- almost a side ship, except that there isn't a main ship to be side to (or the main is platonic rather than romantic/sexual).

I have a second house in a small town called Horseshoe Beach. In preparation for the hurricane, my dad went over the other day to move stuff upstairs. But the neighborhood's already experiencing high speed winds and flooding. My mom had to point out to me that it was a stressful time for her, for all of us, and that our house may not survive.

Even if it does, we won't be able to get upstairs. It has just now sunk in that the damage is extreme. Sending prayers to those in Horseshoe right now.
