Jim wrote a romance novel just to prove he could. Then someone leaked it on the public Starfleet server, and suddenly his embarrassingly smutty and sentimental Human/Vulcan love story is all over campus. Luckily for Jim, no one knows that he’s the author. Unluckily for Jim, someone forwarded the novel to the staff of the Vulcan embassy. Now, every Vulcan in San Francisco is reassessing the logical merits of taking Human bondmates.

Spock reads a Human/Vulcan romance novel because he can hardly avoid it. Suddenly, he is consumed by the need to locate the author, ascertain their wellbeing, and instruct them in the way of Vulcan mating bonds. Luckily for Spock, it doesn't take long to identify the author as Jim Kirk. Unluckily for Spock, Jim is unconscious and surrounded by interested Vulcans who also read the book.

Tears. All the tears (happy/relieved tears at the heart-bursting reunions). A really fun premise with a lot of affirming love and care and reconnecting with family. But I will say that the tags do not encapsulate how much of the story is about healing from Jim's trauma. (And this is a fragile-jim fic. Worst Frank, traumatic Tarsus, post-Tarsus struggles, abusive ex Gary... it's all in there and while it's not invasively graphic there are more than enough in-text hints/flashbacks that could be really upsetting or triggering for someone). So know your limits, this fic is not steamy or graphic in it's description but it is heavy in other ways and focuses a lot on Jim's coping and recovery with a lot of fluff and adoring Spock.

Liu Qingge insists on guarding Shen Qingqiu while he's being held in the Water Prison, Shen Qingqiu goes to trial, and the Old Palace Master tries to force his hand by using a truth-finding artifact. The results aren't what anyone was expecting.

How I wish the JinLan City trial had gone down......

(also Qingqiu-shizi is hilllllarious)

It was the kind of thing that happened in folktales: a cursed prince, a transformation that could not be broken. Except those princes usually became monstrous-looking creatures who needed true love's kiss to return to normal. They did not get stuck as a six-year-old boy depending on a bald runt and two Water Tribe siblings.

I have never read ATLA fanfics before..... I might have to change that policy after this. IT WAS JUST SO CUTE. Lil’ Zuko working through his family problems & becoming a Team Avatar Mascot around mid-season 1. Yeah, it’s that good. And it’s made me really nostalgic for the show. Might have to rewatch that now too.

When Will was a young fawn, all he ever wanted was to grow up as proud and strong as his idol, the Prince of the Forest, Jack. And then one day he wandered off the path and into the strangest pool he'd ever seen. It was red as those sharp roses whose thorns Will had learned the hard way not to eat and smelled like the metal that he'd seen two-legs leave behind. It takes a few drinks to realize that it's blood. When he jumps back in shock, he ends up bumping into the biggest stag he's ever seen, bigger than Will's father, bigger than even the great Prince of the Forest, with antlers as tall as Will himself and feathers as black as night.

"Hello, little fawn," says the Ravenstag, "what have we here?"

fauntlings, little ones, small Bagginses, poor babies, these are just a few of the many things to call Bilbo Baggins' "nephews." the dwarves, however, call them tiny Hobbits.

YAAAAAssssssss. Such a cute AU!
