eeeep! first time writing these two!! thank you for the prompt, friend, ily💛

*

Stevie understands why Alexis had to resort to an app to find a roommate. She’s almost burned the apartment down twice, leaves shoes everywhere, and never does the dishes.

Now, she’s sitting (uninvited) on Stevie’s bed, crying over some dude, again. Stevie’s sick of it.

“Shut up for a second, will you?”

Alexis’s mouth snaps shut mid-tirade. Even with tear-streaked makeup, she’s still pretty. Typical. “Um, rude, Stevie.”

“Sorry, just - none of these guys fucking deserve you, okay? You’re better than them.”

Stevie didn’t plan on saying that. Alexis looks just as shocked. “You don’t mean that.”

Hey there! Here are a few:

Homecoming by sefa16

Alexis spots a Jewish star necklace at the mall; for some reason, she can't stop thinking about it.

Half of My Soul, as the Poets Say by mixtapesandsunsets

Yes, she imagines telling the Alexis of two years ago, who had felt so untethered sitting next to Twyla outside these very rooms. You believe in fate. Your fate is right in front of you, Lex, you just need to reach out to meet it. It’s her. It has always been her. (This one appears to be time-stamped and shows some early aughts Alexis)

Rose Gold by fairmanor

To hype up the holiday special of Sunrise Bay, Moira records a Christmas themed sleep story for the Calm app. While doing press for its release, Alexis realizes this is the first bedtime story she's ever heard from her mother.

Super Rich Kids by codswallop

Alexis really wishes she hadn’t come home from Hong Kong so soon. (Warnings for apendicitis)

Haven’t Thought of You Lately at All by shykia1029

There are six months in their twenties during which David and Alexis don't speak at all.

Pairing: David/Patrick, Alexis/Ted, Stevie/Rachel

Summary: "But there’s paparazzi out there and I didn’t get my eight hours,” David grumbles against Patrick’s collarbone. “Are you sure we have to go?”

Patrick laughs, running a hand through his boyfriend’s hair in condescending placation. “Yes.”

“But it’s so early and your interviews are so boring, they all just wanna ask about baseball.”

“They all just wanna ask about you, actually.” David barely grunts in acknowledgement. “I asked Gwen to make sure they had those ‘gourmet’ doughnuts with all the toppings in the green room.”

“I could order those here myself.”

Patrick switches tactics. “If you come with me today, I promise I won’t ask you when we’re in Paris next month.”

David peeks one eye open. “Can I get that in writing?”

...okay I deserved this after also giving you Hedwig lyrics tbh 😂 

Got me dripping like a honeycomb

Smut. Smuuuuuuuuuuut. Honestly pick your ship, and it’ll be teasing and orgasm denial and begging. (You knew what you were doing with this 😘 )

I’m going to give you a few recs of pocket!Blaine stories.

Good Things Come in Small Packages by @slightestwind 

This is a story about how Kurt rescues Blaine and they fall in love, aka a lot of pocket!Blaine fluff with a happy ending.

~~~~~

Blaine Little by threetequilafloor 

All Blaine wants is a little romance. Only problem is, he's only four and a half inches tall. Throw in a true friend in need and a supercilious cat and you've got a Stuart Little-inspired story.

~~~~~

To Borrow a Heart by Komu

Blaine's used to being alone, but perhaps he doesn't have to be. A borrower!Blaine au.

~~~~~

I’ll Be Your Thrill by @januarium

Kurt and his small friend Blaine have been close for a while, but Kurt’s started to look at him differently. One day he comes home early unexpectedly and then he sees him really differently.

~~~~~

Levers & Pulleys by @skivvysupreme

Pocket!Blaine is not a fan of dependency.

~~~~~

Tiny Wonders by spinmybowtie

Kurt finds a tiny Blaine out in the cold, so obviously he takes him home. That's only the start of their adventure.

~~~~~

Happy Reading!

@kithandqin also requested about “how underrated Sisko is” (good topics thaaaaaank you)

THE BEN MY MAN THE BEN!! benjy boy and his good son man. they’re EVERYTHING PURE AND GOOD in humanity ISTG. like all ben wanted was some fuckin peace and quiet. a place to raise his kid and pick up the pieces of his life and marinate in his trauma and how the fuck do you ever get over something like that anyway. you can’t. wolf 359, not linear at all because that’s where he’s stuck. it’s all cycles and memory and history and a space station that can’t go anywhere.

we’re not exploring the universe, we’re exploring the genre, we’re exploring our own psyches!!

what it means to be a fucking person and face the consequences of what life hands you, even and especially when it’s Not Fair At All. and – this is important – Benny Russell. stuck in a fucked up society that won’t let him have just one little joy. one measly story of hope published in a scifi rag of limited readership that won’t even show his face. not to mention any fucking respect, for life for personhood. but Benny can imagine the future. he can imagine a time when it’s not only better, it’s Glorious. everything he could ever hope for himself he is THE SISKO

despite everything TIME HEAVES ONWARD – in stops and starts and spirals backwards, but nothing stays the same and if you try you can shape what it becomes. you still you gotta push and what you build from the rubble will be worth it.

benny russell imagines a better future that ben sisko embodies, and ben sisko builds a life builds a better quadrant, and from all of this it cycles back to JAKE SISKO AND HIS SENSITIVE ARTIST SOUL. he can become a writer like benny, but this time with the support and love and foundation that ben sisko’s work provides. Jake’s brave and good and noble, but he’ll never be a fighter in that way, but the whole point is that HE DOESNT HAVE TO BE.  jake’s au alternate Jimmy dies before he can live, but Jake has the world the bens built and he doesn’t have to be anything but himself.

“@theredandwhitequeen replied to your post “Infinity War was...”

Thor says (this I had to actively listen for this on my second viewing) "half their people are dead". Because that's Thanos' bag EVEN WHEN IT IS A PEOPLE WHO LITERALLY JUST LOST WELL OVER HALF THEIR POPULATION *ahem* so I guess Valkyrie lead the group that escaped

Yeaaaah, that’s more like 2% of the population at best, Thor.
