    I love this, this is exactly what I wanted for the three of them, just a sense of how they navigate life in the physical spaces of home, of travelling, in bed, and how they balance each other out in the best ways. Takuzo knowing where things are and being forthright about the things they need; Shinpei looking out for them and reminding them about the little relational things; Mia making their place a home and being bossy when they need her to be.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, the six of them had shared the house. Their footsteps echoed up the stairs and their secrets warmed the living room on sleepover nights. Their laughter rang through the halls and their secrets bloomed under soft pink lights.

    When they raced onto the golf course at night to dance under the sprinklers, their uniforms dripped on the hardwood floor.

    This is one of my favourite IVE MVs, it's got so much beautiful and intriguing visual imagery to think about. This fic does a lovely job of following the individual paths the girls take and wonder - why are they apart (and often, sad) when they were so happy together? - then draws them all back into the same house and back into each other's hearts. It's going to linger in my head for a while!

    Summary

    At Becca and Mike's wedding, one of Becca's aunts tells Harper that she and Charlie should get married next. What follows is, predictably, a bit of a spiral that has Harper talking about marriage with everyone from Kirsten to Duncan, until she finally discusses it with Charlie himself.

    Funny, in-character fic about Harper spiraling about whether marriage would be on the books for her and Charlie; and she asks everyone in her life what they think, and of course they have quite different perspectives to add. Just gets the easy dynamic between these two, and the lovely relationships they have with their friends and family, and weaves it into a great look at what makes romantic relationships work (whether that involves marriage or not).

    Summary

    Don't let a man negotiate with the god of the underworld on your behalf. The road to hell is clearly lined with good intentions, but they'll still come up with some trick bullshit like "you have to follow him out, but you can't see each other, and if he looks back at you, you'll be lost forever," and think it's a good idea.

    This is ambitious and clever - a retelling of the Manchild MV overlaid with the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice - to explain why she keeps hitching rides, why she's always on the road, looking for something while making bad choices.

    I really enjoy this is in keeping with the silly and chaotic energy of the show but giving us something lovely and sweet between all of them. Xiaoshai learns to trust his relationship with Chengyu, with some ‘help’ from his disciple. It's a fun read!
