Alienation and Recovery by I_Like_This_A_Normal_Amount
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026)
13 May 2026
Tags
Summary
While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.
"Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."
No one is happy about this.

Summary
He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.
"Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."
It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.

Summary
He placed his bowl in its usual spot within the pack and then paused, tilting his head at the feel of something new. Running his fingers along the smooth, slender surface, Aragorn gave into his curiosity and pulled the item out.
A new pipe, carved from the same sort of pale pine wood that was so prevalent in Rivendell, rested in the palm of his hand.
A winter's tale of the small overtures of friendship that might just determine the course of the future.

Propositions & Pretending by soulofaminaanima for stonecoldsilly
Fandoms: Dimension 20 (Web Series)
29 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
-based on a tumblr prompt from @stonecoldsilly-
Delloso de la Rue's reputation keeps sinking while Captain Hob's grows. Then, Goblin Court comes up with an idea: a new betrothal and marriage between different Fey from Goblin and Wonder. Neither Hob nor Rue get any say in this and both find themselves stuck in an unrequited relationship (or so they think). Still, the Courts have no time for the two to work out their emotions; if they fail to live up to certain expectations a war might just explode.
So: Rue and Hob hide their true feelings from each other, while pretending to be in love in front of the Courts
-
Tags
Summary
Tis the season where fey courts come together to present their most eligible young folk, to arrange marriages for love and political gain.
Delloso de la Rue has done everything in their limited power to delay coming out, but the Court of Wonder is no longer having it. It is their year.
They find themself named the diamond, and they swiftly become a representation of only the least desirable qualities. Cold, and difficult to obtain. To make matters worse, they are not allowed to dance, as it could lead to their secret -one kept so carefully, for years on end- being revealed.
Rue is the diamond set above all others, at the edge of the dancefloor looking in, unable to truly join their peers. At the margins, they find themself forging connections with unexpected fey, and the wish they never thought they’d get, a love match, comes seemingly within reach.
With Captain K. P. Hob, Rue feels comfortable, safe, valued, and warm. It’s true love, and they know it. Now, they have only to find a way to be together, despite feuding courts and the long years of planning from the Chorus of Wonder. It will take a brave act or two for Rue to get their wish, but they've never been so determined.

Summary
"Bakugou hates Instagram. Yes, he has an account anyway. Yes, he still uses that app daily, sue him. No, he doesn't follow the only account that genuinely brightens his day—
—but he does have a not-insignificant amount of the videos bookmarked. Videos that feature three essential things:
A piano, a red-haired man, and cats. Lots and lots of cats."
Bakugou the art conservator and Kirishima the pianist have admired each other for years, they share a love for cats and classical music... and they've never met.

Summary
There are Faeries in the Wood.
That's what everyone said, at least, not that there was any solid proof. Jaskier had tried, more than once, to find some. Just a hint somewhere, of a real story, of real magic. But all anyone seemed to have was stories.
Jaskier was determined to find proof. He wasn't expecting to find a witcher in the process.
--
Jaskier goes into a magical forest and comes out with a witcher.

nights without sleep and days that burn by ruffboi

Summary
There was no madness in the eyes looking out from behind lank white hair, close enough he could reach out and brush it behind the witcher's ear.
"Are you bound to defend and serve me?" Julian asked, tilting his head slightly.
"Yes," the wolf growled, low and rumbling and nearly inaudible.
-----
Prince Julian of Kerack, when he came of age and was officially named his father's heir, was gifted four bound and controlled witchers by the king of Kaedwen: the last four wolves of Kaer Morhen. Julian would prefer to accept the gift and set them free, but is forbidden from doing that on pain of their deaths. So instead, all he can do is apologize and treat them decently.
This simple, compassionate act sets off a series of events that will irrevocably change his life, his witchers' lives, and the lives of everyone living in the Northern Kingdoms.
(Technically incomplete in that the current ending was not the planned endpoint, but does not have a cliffhanger and is functionally a complete story. Subscribe to be notified when the hiatus ends.)

Summary
Sero nods. “It’s the chance of a lifetime, really,” he says. “We want you to date Bakugou, for the sake of his reputation with the press. Some public appearances, a few ‘candid’ photos. For at least a couple of months.”
“Bakugou sent you to ask me to date him?” Kirishima asks, baffled.
“Of course not. We, his people, are asking you to date him. He’s going to have to get on board, if he wants his career to survive. And in the bargain, Riot will get all sorts of publicity, because their lyricist will be dating one of the industry’s hottest stars. A win for everyone.”
When Kirishima Eijirou's band hits the big time, he's not prepared for his newfound fame. He's even less prepared to meet the actor he's been crushing on for years, or to start dating him as a publicity stunt. The closer Kirishima gets to Bakugou Katsuki, the more he realizes he's in over his head. But it's hard to stop, once his heart is in it.
