Penny racks her brain for the next twenty miles, trying to think of a subtle way to bring up the topic of meeting your time-traveling future self, or being sent on a mission to avert an apocalypse-related death. Finally she tells herself Forget it, Penny, it's Nerdtown. Sheldon and Leonard have weirder conversations six times a day. Sometimes before breakfast. Sometimes over Twitter. Absolutely note-perfect story in which future!Sheldon comes back in time to get Penny and current!Sheldon to realize their destiny. Hilarious and awesome. I love how smart Penny is in this, and how much nerdery she's picked up from the guys. ♥

Do you ever feel as though you're putting certain things about you together in pieces? And then every now and again you look at a piece and you say, "Dammit, you don't go there after all!" (This particular piece needing to be transferred to the "dust I crush beneath my feet" pile, obvs.) But you know, I always wanted to devise colorful deaths for anyone who suggested I was incomplete. You are, but only because you're alive, writes Jordan. Absolutely brilliant retelling of The Ugly Duckling that turns the story inside out and shakes real, heartbreaking truth from it.

Oh, Joshua... I love this look at him just meeting everyone, and how he fits in without trying, but even he's bewildered by the family at first. I love that it's Sandy who introduces him to the family, but that he's also training with Charles Wallace, even if he doesn't know it. ♥♥♥

Annie and Mitchell take in a stray cat. George does not approve, until he does. Warm and lovely, and I don't even like cats!

Space ninjas! Leela being awesome! Bender being Bender! Hee!

She tried to make friends with a fairy tale once. It was about a princess who was a cat with emerald eyes; but under the force of Delirium's two coloured gaze, it started to fracture and warp, and soon it wasn't about anything at all. The emerald-eyed cat chases Delirium's fish throughout her realm, and no one remembers her name. Only Delirium remembers it; Delirium remembers everything. Destiny has read much, but Delirium was once Delight, and she forgets nothing. Absolutely dazzling story of the drive to create and the toll it extracts. Paul wants to write a poem. Delirium wants a friend. A bargain is struck. Brilliant.
