Post-series From Dusk Till Dawn fanfic gives SethKate shippers even more to scream about, because of course it does. Writers in the fandom, unwilling to leave the pair’s ending up to interpretation, have published some truly spectacular continuations of and twists on Seth and Kate’s story. Along the way, these creators have established some pretty solid and widely adopted pieces of SethKate fanon.

As someone who’s recently binge-read dozens of fics on AO3, I can attest to how easily they can be accepted as fact. (Like, seriously, try to change my mind.)

1. Seth’s urge to protect Kate doesn’t disappear after Matanzas–if anything, it grows stronger.

2. He knows full well that he doesn’t deserve Kate, but Seth wants to give her the world anyway. She has him wrapped around her finger, and absolutely everyone understands this, including him.

The 100 did the Clarke & Bellamy relationship so dirty that I could never bring myself to watch the final season. I never will, either, knowing how it ends. But fanvids like this one from emma b. remind me that Bellarke’s good days were very good indeed.

We can mourn the shift toward shorter days and colder nights, or we can welcome it. Personally, I recommend getting a jump on the fall by adding The Punisher, From Dusk Till Dawn, Luther, Bates Motel, and The Old Guard to your must-watch list. Their deliciously dangerous, completely wicked ships, previewed with light spoilers in the list below, will make you shiver in a fun way.

Embrace the darkness with Kastle, SethKate, Luther/Alice, Normero & Joe/Nicky…

Sometimes you see your hyperfixations coming, and sometimes they’re completely unexpected. I had never even heard of Apple TV’s French spy drama Liaison when I tuned into this edit from @simplymaterial. But within moments I was hooked and needed to watch the 6-episode show ASAP, which is exactly what I did.

Alison and Gabriel’s relationship, depicted beautifully in this fanvid, is fascinating in its complexity. Neither wishes to be drawn to the other, but it’s like wishing the sun won’t set: futile.
