sleep on it by 14CookiesGone <ao3>

tags: this time not an AU, Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri, literal sleeping together, naps, cuddles, all you might need on a cold evening (only 4k but so worth it)

what K thinks about it: this was everything i want to have in life - a person i love sprawled across me as they teach me where the best nap spots are. this is one of those things i'd like to put in a jar and have it on me to get those warm feelings whenever i'm feeling down. id this was 150k words i'd gobble it up.

Electromagnetic by Sweet_Cupcake <ao3>

tags: Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri, AU college, TA!student relationship, quite sex centric but overall a good college AU, FUCKASS OSC (9.3k)

what K thinks about it: there was so so much pining so if you're into that this is your goldmine. also also oscar is so fuckass in this i can't describe it in any other way for real - he has a lot of dominance in this and "goes for it" in a very asserting way that you don't see in stories about him too often, which is something i enjoyed. it is quite sex centric but i didn't mind it as much as i thought i would. quick read and a fun one!

where i am going is right where i am by nyoomfruits <ao3>

tags: Lando Norris/Oscar Piastri, other minor F1 pairings, small town/neighbourhood AU, very Gilmore Girls-y (18k words)

what K thinks about it: this was just so cute!! i love gilmore girls i love the vibes i love the personalities of everyone in this!! it's a cute no-brainer when you need it, the vibes will eat you up, and there isn't as much pining as there could be (a win for cold winter nights)

this author never disappoints, btw

harder to hide than i thought by wurmzirkus <ao3>

-fandom-: Wolf 359 (Radio)

-tags-: Daniel Jacobi/Warren Kepler, pre-canon in a way that means canon cannot happen

-length-: 2k words

-what L thinks about it-: Kepler is in a horrible situation and therefore thinks about his life (work) and Jacobi. He unreliable-narrators his way into not regretting his life choices.

Sad but soft.

Provided summary:

“This is stupid. He should hang up and just die like a normal, reasonable non-person.
But this hurts a lot. Focusing on Jacobi’s voice makes it a little easier.”

Brave New Worlds by Drag0nst0rm <ao3>

-fandom-: Merlin (TV)

-tags-: Alternate universes, like so many different flavours

-length-: 29k words

-what L thinks about it-: This has informed a lot of how I think about AUs. Considering the characters, how they are shaped by environment. How there is a difference between a characters relationship to others and their function in relation to others. With Merlin and Arthur this of course blurs because oh boy do they play the devotion card.

Homesick by prydon <ao3>

-fandom-: The Penumbra Podcast

-tags-: Buddy and Vespa sitting on a tree, K-I-S-(gets taken out), featuring Nureyev in pain, Nureyev in love, Nureyev trying to make friends, Vespa resisting

-length-: 36k words

-what L thinks about it-: Vespa has thoughts. Our Nameless thief is forced to let himself be known a little. Also Vespa and Buddy are in loooove. Also the horror of being from planets that are hostile to human lives.

Monsters in the Dark by Drag0nst0rm <ao3>

-fandom-: Merlin (TV)

-tags-: Merlin is competent, Arthur is a werewolf

-length-: 4k words and that’s the entire series

-what L thinks about it-: I have a soft spot for werewolves. This has werewolves.

It’s short and actually fluffy when you think about it. This (unlike the show’s universe) is not hurtling towards a tragedy. I just read it when I am looking for something calming.

(Don’t let the Torture tag discourage you. I have impeccable judgement and I say this is a sweet story.)

#ao3 #merlin #arthur pendragon #alternate universe #werewolves #why is someone so hung up on Merlin you ask because it’s the once and future fandom #also I am going through my bookmarks with no regard to anything but my level of enjoyment on previous reading #which can be years

more sky comes and more days by Chrome <ao3>

-fandom-: The Sandman (TV 2022), The Sandman (Comics)

-tags-: Dream has two hands

-length-: 18k words

-what L thinks about it-: all the supernatural elements are vague and dream-like but in all the other ways it’s very frank. Which is something I greatly enjoy about Sandman itself. So automatic kudos just for that. It’s really surprisingly straightforward. Oh and there are some fun sexy moments. Nothing happens on screen but you know *wiggles eyebrows*.

-for fans of Penumbra Podcast-: if you like rad bouquet then you’ll like this too. A woman who knows what she wants, a somewhat prideful non-human who ought to get to be vulnerable more frequently, a human guy who gets flustered by them both because they be pretty

Guardian by Drag0nst0rm <ao3>

-fandom-: Merlin (TV)

-tags-: fae-weirdness

-length-: 1k words

-what L thinks about it-: There is just so much going on beyond the story itself. Magic here is really strange which is something I enjoy very much. Arthur deals with the madnesss. Merlin is a good person, the scariness is just build in. What can you do if you want to build a bakery but the floor plan spells spooky.

Ladies Who Organise by reckonedrightly <ao3>

-fandom-: Discworld - Terry Pratchett

-tags-: fem!Vetinari, spoiler free, no context needed although having read some of the Überwald-books helps (and Night Watch if I might say so myself)

-length-: 6.6k words

-what L thinks about it-: I like Vetinari as a character. I have a special place in my heart for his younger version, still having a lot to learn and as edgy as any teenager can be.

This is a brilliant take on fem!Vetinari. A bit of scheming, a lot of jokes. Her rise to power and the people who were there for it.

Beautiful Ideas by metisket <ao3>

-fandom-: Sherlock (TV)

-tags-: outsider perspective

-length-: 2.3k words

-what L thinks about it-: So it turns out that I like character studies. I am shocked, gasping, on the floor.

This fanfic answers the eternal question of: “Mike Stamford, why are you smiling like that as you throw your friend John to the wolves?”

The whole thing is very funny.

Sherlock used to be a bit of an obsession in my youth. Now as a senior citizen, I don’t interact with or consume the media anymore but this is a delightful blast from the past.

lando norris / oscar piastri au no f1 - zero f1 knowledge required

this was filthy in a very realistic fun way... as if this was what england boys really are like. i'm not a fan of the fake dating trope but this was done nicely. but oh boy is it long, 22k words is a LOT. proceed with caution it's definetly a mature rated explicit content untagged. i was kicking my feet giggling the entire time tho so:)

what would you do (if i went to touch you now) by @laceyamethyst read on ao3 by K

(lando norris / oscar piastri ; max verstappen / charles leclerc) but you need next to no knowledge of f1 to read this.

just go on and read it. it was light it was funny and it was cute. though i'm not a big fan of "everyone is gay" i'll let it slide for this. perfect amount of light cringe and also some explicit sex scenes. BUT OVERALL DONE SO WELL i ate it up. x
