Actual Africans singing Toto's "Africa" (in French and Fulani)

In which Steve's unhealthy coping mechanisms include punching things. Luckily, Bucky's unhealthy coping mechanisms are a good match. Oh these dumbass boys.

Steve's looking for Bucky, Bucky's confused, and Spider-Man just wants to help out. Long, interesting, heart-clenchy.

They say it's a small world. Jessica Jones and Matt Murdock could testify to that. You know, once they eventually meet. (Or five times their worlds overlapped plus one time they met) Exactly what it says on the tin.

Long, sweet, slow story of Jack settling into the NHL and a relationship with Bitty.

the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (Ike) is currently docked in its home port in Norfolk, VA and it seems the crew has a little too much spare time on their hands. So they decided to recreate the first Star Wars trailer Navy style.

You can finally get flux for iPhone! My eyes are thankful!

Five times Luke and Lorelai kissed (or wanted to) before Raincoats & Recipes. Exactly what it says on the tin. Oh my heart.

In which the Winter Soldier swears he's not Bucky anymore but he still can't seem to keep away from Steve. Oh boys.

AU in which Katniss wins the Games alone and ends up having drunken, self-loathing sex with Haymitch. Yes good. This is exactly what I wanted.

Claire doesn't like to ask for help, but Matt's always willing. This is lovely.

1) set up a dreamwidth like its 2009 and u still got ur sense of self-preservation

Fun, spooky story where the gang visit a haunted house and find it's not just a tourist attraction.

Really lovely, wistful fix-it for Man Out of Time. Tony and Reed figure out a way to save Bucky without breaking the space-time continuum or requiring that Steve and Bucky live as hoboes (though they're totally willing to do the latter for each other *g*).

Steve pines as he and Bucky take a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Aw heart.

Gansey finds out about Adam and Ronan. Also, he is totally in control of his feelings for Blue. (He is totally not in control of anything.) Oh Gansey. (Sequel to Roses on Parade, previously recced.)

Steve's plane doesn't go down, so he and Bucky spend the next seventy years thwarting each other's missions and eating greasy takeout. Oh boys.

A Steve POV on the moment Bucky says he's changed his mind about touching, from Upgrade: Advanced Happiness Skills. Oh Steve.

After Johnny's sex tape gets leaked on the internet, Peter helps him out. I love Peter's oblivious pining and Johnny's increasingly desperate come-ons in the face of it. Adorable failboats in love!

“I’m not texting you while I’m working,” Luke says sternly. “No cell phones in the diner, remember?” “Nobody remembers, hon,” says Lorelai. (Luke hasn’t taken down the ‘NO CELL PHONES’ sign, but nobody shows it any respect anymore. It is, at most, a quaint relic of a distant age.) Luke/Lorelai banter at its finest!

The cast recording to the hit Broadway musical, Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda blends musical theater, hip-hop, rap, R&B, jazz, pop, and American history to dramatize the

Fun crossover that inserts Bucky (and HYDRA and the SHIELD team) into Jurassic World.

Maps manages to get a hold of Damian's cell phone number and sort of maybe kind of starts using it as her own personal 911 Emergency call line. This is utterly hilarious and wonderfully in character and I loved it a lot. (Could use a beta pass, though.)

Jack keeps cockblocking Bitty. Adorable.

the AU where Anakin wins the duel on Mustafar and keeps Obi-Wan and Padme prisoner until he eventually turns back to the light. Enjoyable.

hee!
