"Fred's a virgin!" Sam blurts out.
"Yes," Fred says. It's not even the worst thing Sam has had him go along with today. "A virgin. I am. No sex. Ever." His voice goes squeaky at the end.

The keen reader will have noticed that I still hadn’t answered Connor’s question. That first one he asked me, right at the start of all this: Was I gay?

Stories by theme: Recovery by imperfectcircle
Fandom: Crooked Media RPF, Pacific Rim (2013), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
06 Jun 2015
Summary
These stories are about the process of learning how to live your best and fullest life after trauma (of various different kinds) -- and how only you can define what that means. I think they're better if you know the canon, but the two non-RPF ones should be accessible with just a quick wikipedia summary.
There are only three stories in here for now, and I love them all equally.

Fandom: Anthropomorfic, Crashing (UK TV), Dogs Lost In A Maze That Is Also In Egypt (VitaminWater Ad), Douglas Adams - The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul, Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Gaiman & Pratchett, Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, How to Get Away with Murder, Panic At The Disco, The High Life
04 Aug 2019
Summary
Stories where the jokes are the point. I think they're better if you have at least some familiarity with the canon.
Probably the best story here is “A Good Dog in a Dark Place” (Yuletide mini-fandom: Vitamin Water ad), but my favourite is "And Other Animals" (Hitchhiker's Guide).

Summary
Stories where the romantic relationship(s) are the central focus, and the plot is secondary or non-existent. I think most of these are pretty accessible even if you don't know the canon.
Probably the best story here is either "Between the shores of your souls" (Rogue One) or “be yourself my ally” (Wonder Woman), but my favourite is "Tired Boys and Wired Eyes" (Bandom).

Stories by theme: My arguments with canon by imperfectcircle
Fandom: Doctor Who, Handsome Devil (2016), Lynes and Mathey Series - Amy Griswold & Melissa Scott, Merlin (BBC), The History Boys - Bennett
14 Aug 2017
Summary
These are the stories where I really fight it out with canon.
"Eruv" (Lynes & Mathey series) is both probably the best and definitely my favourite.

Summary
Crossovers! Some are Discworld fusions, some are excuses for characters from different canons to hook up, some are both.
I'm having a hard time picking a best or a favourite -- just pick anything from 2007 onwards where you recognise the fandoms.

Summary
“What? It’s totally an improvement. He’s not scowling, or dating bad guys, or slinking around in unsanitary places. Still a bit paranoid, but what can you do. At least he’s a lot easier to get along with when you can buy his affections with ear rubs.”
“And you always wanted a dog,” Sheriff added wryly.
“And I always wanted a dog.”

The Importance of Being Mostly Human by gogollescent for elementalv
Fandoms: Discworld - Terry Pratchett
20 Dec 2012

Summary
In which Susan identifies "Where's My Cow" as a proto-talismanic anchor for Young Sam's continued health and existence, and tries very hard not to wonder what the Vimes' butler does on his day off. There may also be a lesson about the meaning of Hogswatch, but no one wants to talk about that.

Incredibly good Pratchett-voice, and a lovely, sharp, funny, kind story, too. I really like Susan's journey here.

There's a lot to think about in this one -- all the characters here have such different ways of seeing sexuality and "out"ness that their arguments keep missing each other.

Summary
She stands on deck, weight shifting as natural as breathing with each nickitut nickitut of wheels on rails, & she shields her eyes with her hand – her natural one, made of meat not metal – & you ask, out of what stock does one begin to whittle Abacat Naphi?

Really, really, really well done. Works perfectly as an insight into what makes the Captain who and what she is.

Summary
This is a stupid fanfiction and I shouldn't have written it. I have no shame. Don't like, don't read.
Abandon hope all ye who enter here . . .
(A little piece of silliness, wherein the above summary, dubious poem below, author notes and accompanying tags are entirely composed of existing AO3 freeform tags.)
