Summary
it’s edmund’s father who teaches him how to be a man.
he teaches him how to ride a bike (and not to cry when he wobbles and bruises his knees on the cobbles); he teaches him how to fasten a tie (not to slouch when he sits, to say please and thank you, to be polite and quiet and convenient); he teaches him his multiplication tables (heads bent together over the scrubbed kitchen table, edmund’s pen tapping against his two loose front teeth), his words (sounding out the harder ones, black spiky characters on a white page that jumble themselves in front of his eyes), how to play cricket (“not bad, ed,” dad says, and edmund is overcome with boyish pride), how to fish (though, not often, because they’re in london and london isn’t exactly overflowing with lakes) –
of course, he teaches peter all this first.

Bookmarker's Notes
i can't even begin to describe how this made me feel. this was so, so incredibly beautiful and magical and wonderful and i think it will hold a special place in my heart forever.
edmund's character has always fascinated me and i just love how this fic really explored in depth all his nuances, every crack and flaw and character trait. i feel like i know him so much better now. this was so gorgeously written from beginning to end; the author has a talent for describing narnia in all its rich, otherworldly glory. but the love story, in particular, was so incredibly written, it probably changed me as a person. this fic had some of the softest, sweetest, most tender moments i've ever read (i had to put my phone down and try not to lose it at one specific scene).
a story of growing up, of finding yourself, of knowing yourself, of family, of love, of forgiveness, of healing. learning not everything is set in stone. learning your past actions do not define you. learning to let yourself be happy.
oh god, edmund pevensie, i am obsessed with your story, with your character development, and with your endings. i am so glad this fic let you have a happy one

Summary
“Forget everything you think you know about the games. Last year was child’s play. This year, you’re dealing with all experienced killers.”
Mingi thought that once he’d won the Games, he’d be allowed to live his life in peace. But now, with the 75th Hunger Games tributes being reaped from the existing pool of victors, he finds himself preparing to be thrown back into the arena, this time against the likes of Park Seonghwa, Capitol darling and Prince of the Arena, Yeosang and Wooyoung, the tech-savvy duo from District 3, and Kim Hongjoong, the infamous ‘Pirate King’ from District 12.

the ateez hunger games au of my literal dreams. i absolutely love everything about this; all the characters and their different stories, the plot, the arena. seeing how the author was able to ateez-ify a lot of the aspects of catching fire like the outfits and the arena was super duper cool. i also really liked the flashbacks and how we got to go into each character's victory and aftermath in more depth. seonghwa, wooyoung and yeosang, and yunho's stories in particular were some of my favorites to read about. the ending has me so hyped for part 2 i cannot wait omg

Summary
Legends tell of a valiant warrior, blessed by the divine, betrayed by the leader he fought so hard to serve, locked into an eternal half-life. Called "goblin," this man lives forever, watching the years pass him by, until his fated other half can release him.
(It’s funny, Nico thinks. They say legends are always a little true.)

Summary
“We’re getting you out of here, okay?” Percy was sure that Draco was conscious, but he seemed too deep in his fear to register Percy's words. His arms trembled in front of his face. He was holding his breath, trying to hear each step that brought Percy and Nico closer. His entire body was tensed as if he was waiting for them to get close enough to kick him in the gut.
OR
Draco gets rescued from Bellatrix by demigods who don't know about the wizarding world.Nico gets kidnapped by the Order of the Phoenix who mistakes him for a powerful Death Eater.

what if...hear me out...instead of being super duper normal about this...i went insane and feral instead?
the level of miscommunication and misunderstandings in this fic is actually record-breaking, it's so hilarious but also so frustrating at the same time.

Summary
“I’m so sorry,” Joshua says, rolling himself up into a sitting position. His limbs still feel heavy and slow, following his brain’s directions half a second behind the beat. The muscles in his shoulders feel stretched out, unknotted. Languid. It’s the unfamiliar feeling of having slept for as long as your body needs to sleep. “I didn’t mean to do that.”
Joshua cannot sleep, unless he's in Minghao's bed. It's kind of ruining his life.

Bookmarker's Notes
ruined my life. this junhui might just be my favorite, when you can really see his child-like nature and wonder. the idea that he doesn't even realize he has these powers is something that is so endearing and devastating to me. wonwoo loves him, the universe loves him, i FUCKING LOVE HIM. wonwoo is so boyfriend material the fact that he is not mine is actually criminal.
Concerts are always draining, once the adrenaline burns off. Being an idol is really just a game of managing exhaustion. Staving it off, compacting it down. You love something enough to push yourself to the limit the first time, and it doesn’t matter whether the feeling changes, after that. The sunk cost keeps you there. There are other things, too, muscle memory and learned love; it’s not an exact science. Wonwoo prefers not to think too hard about this part. OH!!!!!! THIS!!!!!!!
“Pretty,” Junhui says, angling his head away from Wonwoo to look at the minefield of city lights stretching out beyond the edge of the rooftop.
“Yeah,” Wonwoo says. He isn’t looking at the city. “The moon’s out.” He has no idea if it is. a girl died

Summary
“Did you ever give yourself permission to be sad about it?” Minghao asks.
Joshua is grateful for the way the phone conversation masks his expression. He doesn’t know what his face is doing while he's hiding here in the hallway outside of the ballroom, shiny shoes pinching his feet, both of his exes newly wed inside, but it can’t be good. “I’m the bad guy in this story,” he eventually finds the voice to say.

Summary
Wonwoo has a plan for this game. And if the timing is right, that plan might create a lucky space for Jeonghan to land safely inside. Wonwoo thinks about how it might work out a lot. Too much, probably, because if the timing is wrong in the end, he can’t risk the king for a pawn like Jeonghan.
Anyway, Jeonghan can take better care of himself than it might seem. People who bet on his downfall are gone now, and he’s still here. He must know what he’s doing.

Summary
There are worse ways to die.
Minghao thinks about it all the time. In the Barrel, life is about stitching the morsels and scraps of things together, about keeping one step ahead with eyes always watching the shadows; it’s about scavenging and holding onto bones in your mouth until the shards dig into your teeth so hard they draw blood. You’re always hungry. You build a life out of that.
It’s not ideal, but it is Minghao’s life now – there’s some sort of gritty, hard earned pride and comfort that he finds in it. That he learned to survive. That he still has kept some part of him soft, so that one day he might return to the life he led before this.

Summary
“It’s great timing that you moved here. Word is you recently married your long distance partner, congratulations."
Minghao starts sweating. Is it normal to congratulate people on a new marriage, or is his boss suspicious of the serendipitous nature of his visa? He straightens up and tries to arrange his face into something lovestruck.
“Thanks.” He smiles big. “I really love him. The whole thing was so... “ Clinical. “Romantic.”
He thinks of how Mingyu slammed the door last night but snuck out early this morning without so much as a note. They haven’t even exchanged phone numbers yet.

No one wants to spend their summer in community service. Unfortunately for Hyunjin, Jeongin, Jisung, Seungmin and Felix, they have no choice: the five of them are all stuck on this Community Payback scheme whether they like it or not.
(Spoiler alert: they don't.)
Community service is bad enough to deal with on its own, but to get caught in a freak electrical storm and develop shitty superpowers on top of that? This has got to be someone's idea of a joke.
Oh, and their probation worker wants to kill them. Go figure.

okay misfits aus are actually so good tho????? idk guys, nothing brings ppl closer than trying to get away with murder together. sometimes they were very stupid and silly but it's okay bc they got their shit mostly together in the end every time
i really really loved all the characters, especially hyunjin, seungmin, and jeongin. and i really REALLY loved the way their friendship developed, seriously, i'm a sucker for that kinda stuff. and the way you could see how much they all meant to each other throughout it, like when seungmin gave up his future with baseball to save his friends, when the four of them were grieving jisung's "death", every time one of them stuck up for hyunjin, their concern regarding jisung's living conditions, hyunjin wanting to invite them all over to his apartment, idk them just starting to hang out more and more I LOVE FOUND FAMILY OKAY MAYBE THIS ISN'T EXACTLY FOUND FAMILY BUT WHATEVER STRANGERS TO FRIENDS IDC I LOVE IT
also gotta give a shoutout to chan, my man just wanted to rehabilitate these five young offenders and somehow ended up with a sexy boyfriend like how

"You are Park Seonghwa," he tells his reflection frantically. "You are Park Seonghwa, twenty-one years old, singer of ATEEZ. You like soft things and potato chips. Once, you gaslighted Kim Hongjoong into cleaning the entire dorm by himself."
The post-adrenaline drop after a stage is bad for everyone but it's Seonghwa who suffers the most: he sees the things that could've been.
