    two stories in HR with sentinel/guide characters that I want to read again and again. Forever comfort, Rachel and Jacob may have been the creators but they didn't make anything better than these.

    Holy smokes. This is a different kind of story for sure. I love Rodney and John, and this very sexy but unusual morning ritual.

    I'm going to say that the user name and content make it a very high probability that this was written by a man. Women write the vast majority of fanfic and in the main it's great. Sometimes it's mind blowing how great it is. I don't know how a woman would writers from this perspective though. This is a,man's kind of feeling.

    That's not to say it can't be done for sure but I'm certain women have very specific things relating to their anatomy that men just wouldn't think of or feel and this is probably something like that.

    Guys, well. Sometimes it's a real thing.

    a brief and humorous podfic by the incomparable Reena Jenkins. She's the best. Anything she performs will be fabulous.

    Summary

    In which Derek and Stiles are made aware of their potential and have to make a choice about what their relationship will be.

    “Let me get this straight,” his dad says. “You’re telling me a witch told Derek and yourself that you could be destined to be together and now Derek will be going to college with you?”

    Stiles shrugs, resting his hands on his legs to stop himself from fidgeting. “That’s about it, yep.”

    really great story. Low on the negative aspects of slash. No horror, no violence, just some wonderful relationship evolution with Stiles and Derek. Characterization is sweet, everyone in the story has value and treat one another with respect. This is seriously affirming. I loved it.

    In a fabulous bonus, when they get to the sex scenes they don't even do anything strange or incorrect. While knotting is there, the details aren't wrong as it were. No one puts their hands in incorrect positions or do anything completely implausible. It's a personal annoyance but it's 2024 (or recent years at least) and making ignorant sex scenes is not acceptable to me.

    A huge, huge plus is the incredible podfic of this story. PhenomenalAsterisk does an amazing podfic with the reading, the inflections and all the subtle nuances that make it a singular work of merit. There are podfics I love because of the story or the content and pairing but this one is the whole nine yards. It's emotionally satisfying, technically perfect and utterly enjoyable. I can't recommend this enough.

    This is a tiny, glorious wonder of nonsense. I adore it and applaud it and will keep it and play it over and over.
