schneefinkI went running yesterday and despite a one month break it went well :)
For today I convinced DD to do a sleepover/watch game 7 of PIT-TBL together, because if they win I want someone to hug and if they lose I need someone to hug. Sports, why so stressful. Go Pens!
3 fic recs from the "miscellaneous" pile:
Nexus of Light by![[fanfiction.net profile]](/img/userheads/ff-icon-192.png)
Kryal (Lone Wolf/World of Lone Wolf)
~80k, gen, action&adventure crossover
Summary: The world of Lone Wolf has more than one legendary hero - and when the forces of darkness decide to change the rules, they must join forces to restore the balance.
Why I loved it: Kryal, author of the amazing SG-1/Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover The Dragon-King's Temple, wrote another excellent fic. This one is a crossover between two canons set in the same world, neither of which I know, which wasn't a problem. Kryal said sometimes my plotbunnies want to just sit back and wallow in every single hammy Epic Fantasy Adventure trope they can possibly get their paws into, and sometimes that's exactly what I want to read. I thoroughly enjoyed all of this: the developing partner-&friendship of the two heroes, the plot, the battles, the minor characters and OCs, even the author's notes complaining about timeline and worldbuilding issues in canon.
Mutiny on the Reliant by![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p2.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
WerewolvesAreReal (Temeraire)
16.7k, gen, canon-divergent AU
Summary: It's bad luck to have a dragon aboard a ship, and this tiny black creature can't be natural at all. Slowed by a gale and bad-luck, the Reliant mutinies and puts Laurence and Temeraire alone on the Amitié. The journey back to England is difficult, and on the way Laurence accidentally finds himself leading a small fleet of fighting ships. As one does.
Why I liked it: As one does! This one is just good fun, amplified by the sense of that it totally could have happened this way.
Nothing So Becomes A Man As Modest Stillness And Humility bysplash_the_cat (Jupiter Ascending)
12.7k, backstory, Stinger/Caine, Caine/Jupiter
Summary: Five times Caine got Stinger out of a bar fight (and one time Caine got into one).
Why I liked it: I really like this take on Caine and Stinger's history together & their relationship. Stinger is a mess, Caine a little less so, it's not pretty but it's very well portrayed.
