Summary
"She wants to kiss her best friend and the feeling isn’t new, but it should be, because she’s pretty sure she’s never wanted to kiss Lena before.
That feels like such a lie when she says it in her head, but it isn’t! She has not wanted to kiss Lena before. She would know if she’d wanted to kiss Lena before.
A crack of doubt opens up in her now, because would she?"
Or: Lena confesses her love to Kara. Kara short-circuits, because this is the moment that she realizes that she's in love with Lena too.

Summary
"And you are?" Lena says, holding her hand out to shake. Kara takes it, and puts in every effort not to crush it in her nervousness. Lena's hand is dry and cold where Kara's is uncomfortably hot.
"Kara Danvers," Kara says, putting on her best smile. "Reporter. It's great to meet you, I think we really – "
"Ah, Kara Danvers. The newest addition to the roster, and yet one who has her own private office on the 21st floor," Lena interrupts.
OR
How would early season 3 look if Lena and Kara didn't meet until after Lena bought CatCo, and Lena thought Kara was a total nepo baby?

Summary
“No,” she told the goose firmly. It regarded her with one baleful, shiny black eye for a moment, then resumed pecking the glass. Katy slammed the curtains shut. She could hear an indignant “HONK” from outside. She crossed her arms and scowled.
Katy was way too old for this shit. She’d always assumed she was one of the 60% or so of the population who didn’t have a soulmate, and never had to deal with the accompanying goose, which by the way was supposed to be snow-white and covered in the softest down, not a bog-standard Canada goose with a mud-colored body and a serial killer’s temperament.
Anyway, she was not meeting her soulmate today, she didn’t believe in soulmates anyway, she was polyamorous and ought to by all rights be exempt. It was probably just a regular goose that got lost on its way to shit all over the golf course.
~*~
Katy's hangover is made all the worse by the sudden appearance of the Soulmate Goose.

[Fandom stats] F/F, F/M, & M/M on AO3 -- How do fanworks vary by ship category? by toastystats (destinationtoast)
Fandoms: Fandom - Fandom
10 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
A deep dive into how ship category on AO3 relates to fanwork length, rating, warnings, tropes, and more. Topics include:
- Length: Is F/F shorter and/or more drabbley than the other categories? Which is longest? And which readers like long fic the most?
- Rating: Which category is most/least likely to be explicit? And are explicit works popular in all the categories?
- Dark content: Is F/F softer, fluffier, and more escapist than M/M? Where does F/M fit in?
- Tags & tropes: What other kinds of tagging differences do we see between the categories?
Later chapters will also involve case studies of somewhat parallel ships of different genders, including Robin/Nancy and Steve/Eddie from Stranger Things, and Will/Hannibal (Hannibal) and Eve/Villanelle (Killing Eve).

Summary
When two individuals explode out of the heart tree at Winterfell, the Bolton's think it's a blessing from the gods. It certainly is a change in their fortunes. Sansa expected to die the day the Bolton's did after their guest made the ground shake with her fury. Only she didn't, and now she is nominally the one in charge. With no army, no support outside of those men who saw an angry god and decided not to help their liege Lord, and said god is now her terrifying guest.
Daisy would like to stop being mistaken for a god, and also reiterate flaying innocent people alive is not an acceptable practice. It would help if Fitz would wake up already because she's clearly not going to be able to get them out of the medieval hellscape they're now trapped in. Although Fitz wouldn't be her first choice of companion to be stranded with. And magic ice zombies, because of course there's magic ice zombies.

The build up is great, and I appreciated the fact that the big reveal wasn’t actually a big reveal, it was kind of understated and natural, no unnecessary drama for the sake of drama.

Very well written, with characters that are very different due to life taking different turns, and yet they’re still the same at their core. A very hard balance to keep, but this author managed it with ease. Everything felt organic.
The only complaint is that I wish there was more. It felt like there was plenty of story left to tell.

She looks up and her eyes meet Addison's and suddenly they're back in her kitchen with Addison hovering above her, touching her, kissing her and Meredith could swear moments like this only existed in movies, but here they are in the middle of prom in a fucking hospital and she could spend forever just looking at Addison.
(or, a season 2 au where Meredith falls in love with Addison.)

Summary
Josie is not the type to turn away a friend in need. So, when Hope had asked her for help, her eyes full and expression pleading, she had readily agreed.
In this moment though, with the heat of Hope’s breath tickling her ear with each needy whimper, Josie thinks that maybe, just maybe, this whole thing was a fucking awful idea.
//
In an attempt to improve her lacking sex life with Landon, a frustrated Hope asks Josie for a hands-on lesson in foreplay. Lines get blurred.

Hope is kind of an asshole for the whole remorseless cheating thing, and Josie is no saint either, but the writing is good enough to make you root for them regardless.

There’s no burst of dust, the way Faith expects. Only blood at her hands and blood at the stranger’s lips and the chilling sound of a death rattle fighting its way from his lungs.
Or: Faith kills Allan Finch. The Scoobies offer her the literal crumbs of support she needs in order to not give in to darkness. Yes, this is another “Faith stays (mostly) good” season 3 AU.

Season 3 rewrite that sticks close to canon but fixes the Faith issue. Still engaging despite running through the events of the season. Very well written.
