Everyone Dances in Fairy

In which Taylor makes for a kick-ass fairy godmother, Troy isn't wicked so much as he's just thoughtless, Ryan has to come out at his own ball, and Chad and Gabriella probably should have worked out who was Cinderella ahead of time.

Day 14 Reciprocity

by mydwynter

Lestrade is huddled in a group by the drinks table with Molly and John and Sherlock and Gregson and Melinda from Forensics. Sherlock is being oddly friendly, interacting with apparent interest and almost sparkling with charisma.

fam forever (the group chat)

by mysticpendragon

DonnaNoble: So. Who was going to tell me that we’re in a TV showBillPotts: we’re in a fanficYazKhan: whatRoseTyler: technically we’re also in a sequel***The Fam is back! Things have changed drastically since that one fateful day when the Doctor made a groupchat for herself and her fam. Everything is different now – Yaz Khan now carries the burden of the Atlas, keeping the universe in balance; Graham, Ryan, and Jack are on the seemingly idyllic planet of Caelum helping people and sorting out fair play; and while she's got all of her closest friends and fam back, the Doctor can't help but feel more lost than ever before, even as she travels with River and the Space Gays. But there's still more in store for them – the mystery of Doctor Ruth, the young and awkward Fourteenth Doctor and his best mate Hugo, the chaotic Masters and their dastardly schemes, and the possibility that the Unravelling never ended...Also, everyone's gay, the Unknown Entity can't shut up, nobody can remember those two randoms on the group chat, Bill still hates bets, and Yaz is a Thirteen simp. Some things never change, even when others do. This is the way.(This fic isn't all that serious. I promise.)

The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson

Haunting

by Jen_814

I want so many things. I lie awake and I dream of the cup of stars and the velvet dressing gown and the love and heat and the tenderness of a touch. I see other people and it hurts, Hannah, it hurts. And I want, I want - In the mirror, Hannah watched her face grow pale, her hair darken and her eyes grow starving wide.“I want everything,” whispered Hannah-Nell. “Everything.”--South Meadow Studio Theatre is putting on a production of The Haunting of Hill House. Hannah is delighted to land the lead role of Eleanor, but starts to feel uneasy about how much the character takes over.

The Ekrizdis Report

by Archivist887C

An Unspeakable assigned to audit anomalous records at Azkaban discovers a file that shouldn’t exist, and begins to suspect the investigator, the island, and the loop itself are one and the same. What begins as bureaucratic irregularity ends with a mask, a choice, and the words: I begin again.

Bloody fandom! - a comic

by LadyMunky

A short & somewhat self-referential comic about crazy fandom terminology which may or may not contribute to make things sound more dangerous than they actually are ...I should clarify that while there are some mentions of the Grishaverse, the comic is more about the fandom, in particular fanfiction, rather than about the Grishaverse characters themselves. Posted here despite not being a fanfic bc 1) it's a comic for fanfic readers / writers and 2) I don't really have an account on any other platforms where I could / would like to post it - I hope you don't mind :)Also don't worry, the actual comic is longer than 4 words but since the text is part of the pictures, it's not counted within a3o's word count ^^

Sleeping Citadel Gray

by PassagesofthePluricosm

In a part of the Pluricosm mysteriously cut off from the rest of the multiverse, an old, sleepy town, the Sleeping Citadel, is blessed with magic. For one Necromancer, Destructionist, and Shadow-Traveler in particular, the magic is neither white nor black, but gray. (Somewhat comedic, meta, satirical, and queer stories about dark magic seen in a better light).

The Loud House (Cartoon)

The Challenge of Something to Do with Ups and Maybe Aging

by OmnipresentNuance

What starts as a fairly typical afternoon for the Loud siblings rapidly evolves into a bizarre series of shocking revelations, unusual questions and other strangeness. My own silly, perhaps unique and very much slapdash contribution to this whole “Age-Up Challenge” thing shebang stuff and such that's from FanFiction.net. Kind of funny, but slightly serious and even spiritual. Author’s notes contains more.
