This is not new news; I feel like I was the very last person to get on this particular train. But wow, I am *undone* by Boopboop's Hollanov fics Duty of Care and Chernobog archiveofourown.org/series/5758821 (really a series; I choose to read it as one big whole) archiveofourown.org/works/813253...

Two legends collab! This is so cute and funny....

Auden’s Musée des Beaux Artes

From “The Simpsons” house genius John Swartzwelder, interviewed in The New Yorker by Mike Sacks

When a fic author takes an iconic, unforgettable line from the OG text and repurposes it so that it somehow lands with even MORE impact/ emotional weight/ devastating context....man, that's the stuff.

I AM VIBRATING

Recipe for cognitive dissonance: Beta-reading the sweetest, fluffiest FP AU while in the middle of just-plain-reading the darkest, angstiest Hollanov fic I've yet encountered.....🫨

Me: The fuck is my laptop so damn slow all the time?! Also me: Ok, fine, I guess 39 is a lot of open tabs....

oh wow

Kiddo #1 is at the Devils game right now with his bestie (who plays hockey for their HS team) and New Jersey is playing OTTAWA and kiddo doesn't get why I'm dying of jealousy..... Fyi I just got WHY they're the Centaurs -- bc in real life it's the *Senators* and Cens/Sens, duh....

Eledon Pharmaceuticals Announces Positive Initial Data from Subjects with Type 1 Diabetes Treated with Tegoprubart as Part of an Immunosuppression Regimen Following Islet Transplantation in Investigator-Initiated Trial at UChicago Medicine ir.eledon.com/news-release... #biosky

I can’t find good articles yet because it’s super new, and I’m going to be honest when results are this good it hits my bullshit meter hard, but it does seem to all appearances that Eledon may have found a cure, or at least a HUGE advancement in treatment, for T1 diabetes. It’s sincerely incredible

😒 I had "John Denver and the Muppets: Christmas Together" on an eight-track....

Face reveal 😆 At Philly's Magic Garden....

I got such a fit of giggles from this story, which features a Henry who's kind of....simultaneously appalled and enraptured and doubting his own sanity... Porn that also makes you smile, what else do you even want?

This one is just *delicious* Bits of this are going to live in my head forever, I swear....

My first “cut for time” scene of this secondary project, feat. Shane and Ilya having some pool time in Florida :) archiveofourown.org/works/811389...

You were right, @jafffacakes.bsky.social @anyroomsrio.rwrb.social @chamel-writes.bsky.social, Project Hail Mary was excellent and the IMAX was key! Kiddos loved it, though they sobbed at the sad bits. Even my stoic 16-year-old tough guy, who's a head taller than me, was weeping into my shoulder.

Hey, fam, advise me? "Project Hail Mary" -- worth seeing in Imax or nah?

Reading about the sequel has me thinking about the OG movie again. This is the moment that always gets me: Henry, fully rebooting as his whole universe spins on its axis, rearranging itself into a place where ACD schemes and plots and coerces Secret Service agents, just so he can kiss Henry back...

Not so much abandoned as postponed. Again. To *next* Easter. For the third year running. FirstPrince Superstar:

👀👀👀 TFW you read *this* from the author of Omakase....

Everwitch's movie-verse meets book-verse latest is complete and binge-able!! It's so good you guys!!!

AO3 down? No worries, here's a lovely *illustrated* FP bedtime story from @youtookmethere.bsky.social!

Imaginging a fic wherein Henry is a criminal who keeps literally getting away with murder, Alex is the detective who knows he's guilty but can't prove it & falls for the guy anyway... (All of this to say: I'm *obsessed* with this jazz-ish cover of "Murder by Numbers:") youtu.be/y8qPACfoQ0I?...

Morning.

New Traff Pat 🔗 archiveofourown.org/works/80072726 Five plus one (plus one more) universes in which Alex runs into Henry at a party. Featuring misleading signs (on a highway and elsewhere), heated glances across a crowded ballroom and a pony named Louisa. My contribution to Karaoke Keyboard!

My Keyboard Karaoke gift posted and it's perfection. I am kicking my feet, twirling my hair and clutching my AP Stylebook all at once. How could anyone not love a fic tagged "grammar as foreplay"?! Thank you, 50shadesofsubtext! Please go read it! archiveofourown.org/works/79881126

IT'S THE ADVERBS. Trust me on this. If I know one thing...

WIPS YOU SHOULD BE READING 🧵 Nope, nobody asked me -- but I'm so into these that I want everybody to check them out! Orchid's trans!Shane story, C'est Toi Sweet, spicy and an absolute fucking joy, already one of my fave @orchidscript.bsky.social stories: archiveofourown.org/works/786600...

So the Bad Bunny show was *amazing* but I can't get into the football if there's not an international pop star flying in from a concert on the other side of the planet to cheer on their bae...

If you, like me, may have forgotten that Dr. A can bring the angst? This absolute gem will remind you.

"Damn, that Keyboard Karaoke event is kicking out the jams," part two: A new fic from the inimitable @jafffacakes.bsky.social Whole collection here, btw: archiveofourown.org/collections/...

I don't even know what to say about this: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/o...

I was so ridiculously entertained by this sweet, sexy, cool and FUNNY high school AU in which Henry Fox is a tatted-up bad boy, and Alex is a scholar-athlete compelled to win at everything.... The Brownstone's Keyboard Karaoke event is turning out some great fics!

Hi friends. Sorry for my absence. I live in Minneapolis. I don't know what you are hearing in the news, but it's likely worse than you can imagine. People are being violently assaulted, disappeared with no trail, and shot on the street, regardless of citizenship or legal status.

🚨🚨IT'S HOLLANDER WEARING A ROZANOV JERSEY 🚨🚨 And it's somehow even hotter than you think it's gonna be....

(Another) big reason why Heated Rivalry is important: Because "Culture is infrastructure." Thanks for sharing this great, thoughtful piece Allie!

I feel bad for ppl who don't read WIPs -- they'll never know the absolutely *giddy* joy of seeing a new chap pop up out of the blue after months of wondering what happened next! Which is to say: @clrmntdzfx.bsky.social just made this the best New Year's ever... archiveofourown.org/works/602745...

If you happened to miss this absolute delight in the deluge of excellent AWY fics, read it now. "Wannabe sunflowers" and "hostile pineapples" make a beautiful (and hilarious) backdrop to Alex falling for Henry in a blooming Texas garden...

'Tis still the damn season, so come and get your warm, cuddly romantic Christmas vibes right here, friends! Plus a little flirty FirstPrince banter. As a treat You know Dr A never misses ...

Getting to see your favorite writers get all excited about an idea in real time is seriously the best part of fandom....

Day 2 with the family and struggling with headaches. Ugh.

God, I have such big feelings about HR Ep 6.... Not least because I've *been* the kid whose nightmare -- a nightmare I had no plan for responding to, because planning would have involved sustained *thinking* about it happening -- was my parents finding out the truth.

Took them long enough but the NYT discovered Heated Rivalry! This link is supposed to cross the paywall, let me know if it doesn't: . www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/a...
