    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!

    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).

    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.

    As the marketing team starts gathering their things, the girls are still staring at the array of Lily’s crazy faces on the screen. Haewon is examining those other Lilies so intensely, the real Lily has to look away. She turns back to the screen too and catches the text I hope this girl never gets media training just before the marketing assistant closes the laptop and makes the image disappear.

    Or: two times Lily and Haewon went viral and one moment just for them.

    I remain in absolute awe of people who can write the Blackadder voices, and this is another great example of it. Dark, and extremely in character for everyone, as Christmas descends on the trenches and with it, Melchett’s stupid ideas (and Blackadder getting himself into shenanigans with Darling). Hilarious.

    What happens to Michael and Billy’s relationship after he leaves for ballet school, given the circumstances they come from? What is Michael and Billy’s relationship when Tony and Jackie see Michael at Billy’s triumphant show at the end of the movie? This is such a lovely piece, filling in the blanks of the intervening years in Michael and Billy's lives as we know from the movie, extrapolating their relationship from children into adulthood in such a tender way for both.

    As their 20th college reunion beckons, Jules - fresh from a divorce - is afraid to see Jess again, and then we go back to college years in flashbacks to see how we got from best friends to here. I feel like this does so much with 4000 words! This feels like such a possibility post-movie, and it flows naturally, managing to catch us up on the intervening years without losing the drive towards getting them together (again). Really enjoyed it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is many many things that I wanted from a story making sense of the Dream()scape teaser videos (which is great because it's a gift for me and it's awesome!!). The author does such a good job of having multiple conversations within a scene - between characters, between dialogue and the Morse coding, between this video world and the real life dynamics of NCT Dream - I love how meta it is while being a really well formed narrative about this dystopian world in and of itself. It nails the dynamic I find so fascinating between Jaemin and Chenle - the way they weren't close previously and then they've accelerated into this teasing, knowing, comfortable relationship where it feels like they've finally gotten in tune with each other; but it also weaves in some of the other interesting Jaemin-centric ships, as well as that 7dream fated connection. It's a great read and so beautifully put together.

    “It isn’t something that magic can fix,” Irene told her once. Dusk bruising the shadows red and violet; they seemed to slink a little too close to Irene, considering the source of the light. “It’s only the payoff for the rest of it.” She smiled, then, the expression too distant to be reassuring. “You know that magic demands balance. I taught you that.”

I'm always amazed at those who can write the Blackadder voice so well...tone and rhythm of this is just like the show. Pitch black humour perfectly calibrated to have me crying in despair and laughing at the same time!

    Awwwww. Janet loves Jason, and Jason shows her a good time in Hungary (not innuendo). This is so lovely and perfectly Janet and Jason (and all the others in the little glimpses we get). The author manage to convey so much of the complicated inner thoughts of Janet and how she is and loves in not a lot of words, it’s really well done.

    Taehyun doesn't have a lot of experience in bed. Beomgyu offers to help him out.

     

    He thought about it and came to two conclusions: His inexperience was impacting his life; he wanted to take Beomgyu up on his offer.

     

    He decided to ask days before he actually got enough liquid courage to do it. He had to pull a mildly tipsy, incredibly sexy Beomgyu out of the throng of people he was dancing with and into a quiet corner of the club in order to ask though. He was surprised that Beomgyu followed him so willingly. Beomgyu was dressed to get laid and that usually meant that he didn’t hang around Taehyun. Maybe it was different when Taehyun came and got him. He didn’t know. He’d never really done that before.

    I really enjoyed this, it's a great read. Funny and sweet and you get so much of the TXTies personalities shining through the banter and the little moments between them and their friends. It gave me really strong feelings and I was so invested in Taehyun and Beomgyu in finally realising they love each other and are in a relationship that's more than convenience or teaching or being good friends. I also just really loved their honesty with each other, the way they talk through things and find the balance even with their differences.

    Soobin gets his heart broken, but sometimes that's just the beginning of the story. He throws himself into dating various idols, but maybe he should be looking a little closer to home?

     

    It still wasn't easy, and sometimes he just needed to wallow a little in his feelings. Somehow Beomgyu turned into the person he did it with. He knew Kai wanted to help, but he'd seen the deer in the headlights expression Kai got the one time he tried, so Soobin decided to be merciful. Maybe Taehyun could help but Taehyun would care too much. Soobin didn't really need that anymore. He needed someone to listen and then kick his ass. Beomgyu turned out to be surprisingly good at that.

     

    "I don't know why you keep underestimating me," Beomgyu huffed, but softly, since Odi was deigning to be held in his hands for once. Beomgyu looked down at the tiny hedgehog with a besotted expression. "I'm Beomgyu, after all."

    This is just so so good on the best friends and soulmates feelings ;__; It gets that dilemma of not wanting to cross the line but hoping the other person does so well, and it's just the best kind of requited pining with a happy ending. And I love the friendship with Yeonjun as well, the history packed in just a few pieces of dialogue (including the hilarious cameo by Hueningkai).
