CBR Bingo: Bird – in All the Feels, Lauren is described as a bird-ish looking woman, and is eventually nicknamed Wren by Alex – which leads to both some miscommunication and hurt feelings and the resolution thereof.

Each book follows a different actor (or two actors in the last book) from the fictional Gods of the Gates television series and their romantic interest. Each book takes place nearly […]

The Backup by cheeryos “Poor Ronan here might as well be celibate. How long has it been?” She whispers theatrically, “I think he’s saving himself for Vin Diesel.” Ronan shoves her to shut her up. She’s wrong, anyways. He had always wanted to be Vin Diesel growing up. Which, naturally, meant that he’d wanted to fuck Paul Walker. Now that it’s been brought up, he notices that Adam kind of fits into the Paul Walker mold, with his blue eyes and tanned face and wheat-stalk […]

Tenebroso by thesehands Ronan was a portent, an omen, a sign that Adam might be in real danger; Declan had sent the most dangerous person he knew to protect him. ― thesehands, Tenebroso As he lay in Adam’s arms, Ronan noted the differences between what he remembered and what he currently felt.

Cbr16 Bingo: Part 2 19A by Toyourdetriment “Emotional availability is a skill. You, particularly you, can decide to learn it, if you want to.” In spite of the tone, it hits like a backhand to the jaw. He has learned bedside manner for a given definition of empathy. Allowed methodical and unsparing trauma therapists to rake him over the hot coals of his childhood for a decade. He is, in short, an entire and convincing machine of a person, whose inner child definitely wants to […]

Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Weird Sisters by Olga Wojtas

by Leave a Comment

Bingo 3: Fanfic Miss Blaine’s Prefect and the Weird Sisters is a re-imagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth; it’s definitely fanfic, both in that it’s a self-insertion into an established world/story and that it’s loaded with basically Easter Eggs that only a fan of the original would appreciate. The premise is that Shona McMonagle is a middle-aged librarian who is somehow capable of time-travel. The time travel thing is not really explained, and it doesn’t really matter as that’s not the point. When Shona was younger, she […]
