The Untamed (TV)+1

as fearless as

by thistleghost

Lan Zhan is tired of talking about soap, of hearing about Meng Yao’s gracious shower jelly demonstrations. Lan Zhan wants to talk about Wei Ying. He always wants to talk about Wei Ying. Even now, on this noisy and crowded street, he can feel it rising up inside of him, lighter than air. A truth bigger than the sky. He could just do it. I fell in love with someone, he could say. With a boy. With Wei Ying. That would quiet Lan Huan, surely. ✿ Lan Zhan wants to come out to his brother before he confesses to Wei Ying. Lan Huan just wants to take his didi to a particularly terrible soap shop.

Almost

by seonghyunin

'Because of love'That's what the note said and that's why Minho picked Seungmin to give him a kiss on the cheek on that stage. But Seungmin doesn't actually kiss him. He just faked it like he fakes all other affections with Minho. Only him. Seungmin likes to hug and kiss everyone else, just not him.Minho tears himself apart trying to figure out why that might be. Luckily for him, Jisung informs him that he can just ask about it.

Are You Afraid of the Dark? (TV 2019)+1

in the quiet, in the noise

by multishive

Gabby Lewis likes things that make sense. Dani likes things that shine. Between them, they’ve built a life that does both. Married, busy, and very much in love, they’re raising two kids who couldn’t be more different: Olivia, sharp and observant and learning how to take up space; and Eli, their youngest, autistic, nonverbal, most days humming through the world in his own rhythm. This isn’t a story about tragedy or inspiration. It’s about AAC devices on kitchen counters, early morning runs, humming at dinner, firm squeezes instead of soft hugs, grandparents who adjust without fanfare, and a house that makes room for everyone exactly as they are. Slice-of-life. Sensory-aware. Soft but not sentimental.

Are You Afraid of the Dark? (TV 2019)+1

Before We Learned the Language

by multishive

They thought they knew how to build a life together. They had survived college, careers, distance, and choosing each other out loud. They believed love, communication, and planning would be enough. Then Eli arrived — and nothing spoke the language they knew. This is the story of Dani and Gabby becoming parents for the first time. Of Olivia learning how to share space and attention. Of a baby who doesn’t respond the way the books promised he would. Of fear, denial, adaptation, and the slow, painful realization that love doesn’t stop at expectation — it begins where expectation ends. Before routines.Before diagnoses.Before they learned how to translate the world for their son. This is what came first.

The Matrix (Movies)

The Quiet Sentry

by fleureilleaux

Flashbacks to Switch uncovering the truth, starting to discover the existence of the Matrix by learning she can make life a bit easier for herself. Probably belongs to the same basic timeline as "White Gun" and "Different Freedoms", though with minor deviations in internal logic. More implied neurodivergent Switch.
