flowers always and always (8651 words) by cosmicocean
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (TV 2016)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Todd Brotzman/Dirk Gently
Summary:

“How did this happen?” Farah looks vaguely suspicious of a sudden influx of aesthetically pleasing flowers, which, if Todd’s being honest, is the sort of reason that she’s his best friend. “Did Mona do it?”

“Nope.” Dirk holds up his wrist where a silver bracelet made up of tiny stares jangles a little bit. “We stayed up late watching Kitchen Nightmares and she decided she’d like to come in to work for a bit today. Couldn’t have been her.”

Farah’s eyes narrow and her hand goes to the gun on her belt.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Todd says quickly, holding up his hands. “I did it, don’t shoot any of the vases, okay, I don’t want to have to go out and get new ones.”

Where Todd finds out what flowers mean, where he does his best to express feelings without having to verbalize it, and where I write the absolutely most tooth rotting fluff I have ever put to pen.

Our boys are bad with feelings but like, in a cute way & they’re trying

Hey I just wanted to say thank you. These aren't my fandoms but I was so excited to see Copperbadge's name, and that in turn led me to a treasure trove of Captain America works which will last me for weeks. So thanks for the good works you do!

[satsuma]

Copperbadge is always a good author to rediscover, I feel like every time I end up in a new fandom I find out he's already been there first :)

I actually had some time to read this week so lets see if I can't find a couple fics that aren't Rusty Quill Gaming related?

First Forever (9931 words) by Lynds
Chapters: 10/10
Fandom: X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Characters: Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr, Raven | Mystique, Emma Frost, Hank McCoy, Armando Muñoz, Alex Summers, Sean Cassidy
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern: Still Have Powers, Trust Issues, Past Child Abuse, Self-Esteem Issues, Poor Charles, Erik Has Feelings, Protective Erik, Erik is a Sweetheart, Smitten Erik, Charles Xavier has a Ph.D in Adorable, Honestly Charles What Are You Thinking, Charles-centric, Genderfluid Raven, Telepathy, Falling In Love, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse
Summary:

Charles holds himself apart from everyone, hiding deep-seated fears behind his friendly, perky exterior. Everyone loves Charles, but nobody really knows him.

Until Erik, that is. Charles is falling so hard, so fast, terrified of what will happen to him when, inevitably, Erik gets tired of him.

The disappearance of his powers just serves to make it more clear; Charles doesn't get to keep what he loves.

Bookmarker's Notes:

An interesting au. If they weren't Magneto and Professor X, but Charles and Erik (Who still had their powers) maybe they would get a soft epilogue

This one is much shorter but there is a sequel and that should count, right?

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Good Omens (TV)

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Additional Tags: Tony Stark is a madman, Steve Rogers was not prepared for this, Pining, vague Identity Porn, Comic Book Violence, Flirting, Action/Adventure, 2014 Cap-Iron Man Holiday Exchange
Summary:

There are three main ingredients to a good adventure. The fighting for your life and running away parts are just added fun.

Bookmarker's Notes:

Fun little adventure with some celebratory kissing

Ok, its still me so the last one is RQG but its a long one that stands pretty well without being familiar with the series and acts as a nice alternative version of season 1 if you are. Heads up Re:consent issues/sexual harassment that Bertie is only in tutoring to get access to the handsome Edward Keystone and at one point tries to get him drunk, but Tjelvar keeps him from taking advantage.

An Education (20101 words) by Sea-Glass
Chapters: 12/12
Fandom: Rusty Quill Gaming (Podcast)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Additional Tags: RQ Big Bang 2019, University AU, In which no one goes to any classes, and instead have a lot of interpersonal drama all over the campus, Who knows how they get any work done not me
Summary:

Hamid Saleh Haroun al-Tahan is absolutely certain that this year, at this university, is the one that's finally going to work out. Fine, he's lying to everyone about his past and living in a small student house with a group of people who can't ever quite make up their minds whether they love or hate each other, but he's still sure it'll all work out. Somehow.
Meanwhile, across campus, Tjelvar Stornsnasson is regretting his life choices - specifically, the ones that led him to agree to tutor both Bertie MacGuffingham and Edward Keystone. But getting paid means his students have to pass, so the only way out is through. Provided he doesn't murder one of them first.

Treasure, Explosions, and Romance is so much fun; I haven't read Duh yet but that summary is hilarious (& accurate tbh)
