I'm going to put OTPs and Ships under their fandoms, as I have quite a few.
Main Fandoms: Biggles series - W E Johns (Biggles/Thomas Moorven, Algy Lacey/Ginger Hebblethwaite, Biggles/Erich von Stalhein, Bertie Lissie/Ian Ross, Algy/Ginger/Bertie); Famous Five - Enid Blyton (Julian Kirrin/Dick Kirrin)
Other Fandoms (I still sometimes write in these, or they're new to me and I might even just have WIPs so far):
LIT - Victorian/Edwardian Ghost Stories & Adventure Stories:
Kidnapped - Robert Louis Stevenson (Alan Breck Stewart/David Balfour), The Attic - A M Burrage (Stanley Forbes/Derek Wilson), Lot No. 249 - Arthur Conan Doyle (William Monkhouse Lee/Abercrombie Smith), Thurnley Abbey - Perceval Landon (Alastair Colvin/Narrator), Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad - M R James (Professor Parkins/Colonel Wilson), Initiation and H.S.H. - Algernon Blackwood (Arthur/Malahide, H.S.H./Delane), Dracula and Dracula's Guest - Bram Stoker... I keep adding to the list of inspiring vintage horror canons.
I also run a community for Vintage Horror with M/M potential:

Light Black #13 [Crimes Against Romance]
17 June 2025 14:17![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
Name: Passunder
Story: Crimes Against Romance(Alternative title: Be Gay, Do Crime)
Colors: Light Black #13: Rotate
Styles and Supplies: Life Drawing, Gesso, Gift Wrap, Thread, Portrait, Graffiti (May-June Parents Challenge), Oils (your character is gay and loves their life), Acrylic (June 16 2025: "Your character finds a journal or a letter that explains or reveals something important that they would never have known otherwise.")
Word Count: 6030
Rating: Technically G, but there are hints of non-G-rated stuff happening off-screen
Warnings: Introduction of 15 different on-screen characters, and a couple off-screen characters who are haunting the narrative
Characters and Established Relationships: (deep breath) Aubrey Bren/Irfan Pai, River Bren/Tabitha Bren, Gail Bren, Jeanine Bren, Anne Bren/Gavin Newson Bren, Benjamin Bren, Daniel Bren, Noah Bren, Andrew Bren Goss/Vamsi Goss, Sadie Gregory, Bess Gregory
Dates: March and April of 1996 (but see the Gesso Notes about the passage of time)
Summary: Aubrey discovers secrets in his grandmother's house during a Passover seder.
Notes: This ismy tawdry gay Sims telenovela a story I came up with for some sims in an ancient Sims 2 neighborhood about organized crime and crooked lawyers that I never got to realize because the neighborhood got deleted in 2013, but this story has never been deleted from my brain. Silvercat said on the Discord that this kind of Sims story about original characters counts as original and counts as Gesso for Rainbowfic purposes, so I figured I would actually write it up and post it. There should be 33 more installments, but most of the rest of this won't come until after I've finished the Fulcrum, because I want to use a completely different set of lists for it. I technically could have waited to post this, too, since I'll be using Light Black for a long time still to come, but this particular scene was burning a hole in my brain and I had to write it now. I've added notes about the Gesso borrowings, since I don't expect people to actually be familiar with 20-year-old video games, and also included the in-game portraits of all of the sims, since I do actually still have them.
As was hopefully communicated by the telenovela title, this story runs on high octane interpersonal drama and really tropey romance, which is kind of par for the course for stories I come up with for my sims, really, although this specific piece of it is uncharacteristically normal. This is also very much a grey-versus-black morality story - the protagonists are not really good guys, and don't have a lot of illusions about that, but they should at least be significantly more sympathetic than the antagonists.

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America, The Avengers
Characters/Pairings: Natasha Romanov/Maria Hill, James 'Bucky' Barnes/Steve Rogers, James 'Bucky' Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson, Nick Fury, Phil Coulsen, various MCU characters
Rating: Mature
Length: 04:21:03 (41,322 words)
Content Notes: Graphic depictions of violence, abuse of children by the Red Room, recollection of past pet death
Creator Links: Quietnight on the Audiofic Archive, Quietnight on AO3, notcaycepollard on AO3
Themes: Female relationships, Action/adventure, Families of choice, Time travel, Fix-it
Summary: The fall is longer than Natasha expects.
It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.
Reccer's Notes: This is one of my favourite podfics by one of my favourite podficcers, and it's a tour de force. It's a long story by notcaycepollard that puts right Natasha's death with the soul stone - instead of dying she's sent back in time to the moment in her Red Room training she most regrets, and from that moment lives her life anew and, with her knowledge of the first time around, is able to fix the worst, most tragic disasters and losses of canon. It starts with Natasha rescuing her sister trainee black widows from the Red Room, plus Bucky the Winter Soldier who's there as well. There's a lovely, slow-burn relationship with Maria Hill in the story, but the key relationships for Natasha are with her sisters, aged from a four-year-old to teenagers when they escape, and the podfic's centre is the found family they create. The fix-it aspects are enormously satisfying and Quietnight's reading is, as ever, nuanced and fluent, beautifully performed - including all the Russian names and words, and a pleasure to listen to. An epic story and a wonderful podfic, stirring and heartwarming, and infinitely better than canon.

Star Trek AOS: How to Write Letters Home to Your Sisters by Danahid

![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
Fandom: Star Trek AOS (Reboot)
Pairings/Characters: Nyota Uhura
Rating: G
Length: 1866 words
Creator Links:
danahid
Theme: Female relationships
Summary:
I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map.
There are rules of diplomacy that you have been trained to follow. There are realities that you have been educated to expect. You are poised and dedicated and intelligent and professional, and there are horrors in the universe that you don’t want your sisters to know. There are false maps to terrible places that you don’t want your sisters to follow. You know that you can’t protect them from everything, but this you can protect them from for a little while longer.
Reccer's Notes: I am partial to stories that explore why people join Starfleet, and this is an excellent example. While the story talks about Uhura's motivations, it also explores her relationship with her younger sisters. She is both inspiration and protector to them, and she's very aware of her role.
This story takes on both the promise and sacrifice of going beyond traditional roles. Yes, Uhura accomplishes so much, but those accomplishments come at a cost, a cost she doesn't want her sisters to know about because she wants them to find their own way.
Danahid's writing is always exact and meticulous and beautiful, and this story is no exception. There's so much in these 1800 words, including a beautiful ending.

Ahoy there, adventure gamers!
monkeyisland is a community for the beloved classic game series Monkey Island, featuring the comedic swashbuckling adventures of the improbably-named Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate™. Anything about Monkey Island is fair game: your own fanworks (art, fic, videos, games, music, cosplay, memes/silliness, whatever), recs of others' fanworks, livestreams/let's-plays, discussions, news and articles, tips for messing about in the game resources or scripting, requests for hints, screenshots, all that good stuff. If Monkey Island is your jam rum rum and jam (it's an old pirate favorite, everybody knows that), then come on over and have a grog.

But the voice at the other end was all too familiar. And if I am going to be honest, it was one that, had I not been wearing two cardigans and a vest, I would have said made my blood run cold.

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Gen. Teyla Emmagan & Sam Carter, Evan Lorne
Rating: Teen
Length: 8824
Content Notes: canon-typical violence, minor character death
Creator Links: Rachel500 on AO3, ArwenLune on AO3, ArwenLune on Audiofic Archive
Themes: Female relationships, Action/adventure, Friendship, Women being awesome
Summary: When a diplomatic mission is interrupted by the Wraith, Sam and Teyla wrestle their personal demons to work together and find a way back to Atlantis.
Reccer's Notes:
This is set soon after Sam Carter comes to Atlantis to replace Elizabeth, and both she and Teyla initially grapple with her new role. Teyla, unlike John and Rodney, had no prior knowledge of Sam Carter and can't help missing Elizabeth and not fully trusting Carter. Then a mission goes badly wrong and they're thrown together, and have to find a way through their feelings as they deal with the dangerous situation. It's a gripping read with interesting character explorations and a satisfying ending. There's also a podfic version, excellently read by ArwenLune.
