Love Is Like Ghosts

https://archiveofourown.org/works/33278623/chapters/82633624

“I really think you should take into account,” Loki began softly, hands tightening on Mobius’s tie as he tugged him forward, “that I am not the Loki you think you know so well.” Mobius wanted to say that he was terribly, achingly aware of that fact, but all thought left his mind when Loki pressed their lips together tenderly.

- After the events of episode 6, Mobius finds himself in another reality with a Loki who doesn’t know him. He is then forced to deal with the emotions of having everything he cared about taken away from him while also trying desperately to not fall for this variant.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for the tags, @andthekitchensinkao3 @justabigoldnerd @loki-is-my-kink-awakening @mobiusismycomfortcharacter !

Mobius is awakened, not precisely abruptly, but certainly quick enough to startle him, by a slight thud and sudden weight on his chest that rapidly leaves it with a flutter of shivering paper. "What the — " He stares in groggy bemusement down at the small cascade of file folders and other assorted debris that has apparently toppled over onto the bed beside him. "Were you seeing how many things you could stack on top of me without waking me up?" "Yes," Loki replies absently, engrossed in a file at his left, ankles crossed neatly atop the sheets and brandishing a pencil in one hand. "It is an appalling number, by the way. You really must be exhausted."

(inspiration for this, lmao)

PAUL MESCAL | Chicken Shop Date (January 26, 2024)

[doodlingawaits]

The first chapter of my new modern AU Kanthony fic is up on AO3!

Anthony is on a business conference in Brighton and somehow winds up staying in a dodgy hotel where the rooms are small, the walls are thin, and the breakfast is self-serve. To add to his woes, he accidentally overhears the sexiest voice he's ever heard coming from the room next door and manages to offend the most beautiful woman he's ever met in the space of 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Kate is also going to the same conference and staying at the same hotel as Anthony, the man she has both hated and desired from afar for months.

How does a series of mishaps and coincidences bring these two together?

[hismaindawg]

So late to the party! I love Kroll & Mulaney and made this edit of my favorite Krollaney moments.

Nick Kroll's "I was unsure whether I wanted to sleep with John" interview and his breakup jokes in the Little Big Boy special made me wonder if he was at one time secretly in love with John but hesitant to tell John his true feelings. So I made this vid to explore a little bit about how Nick's past relationships did not end up well for him, how John showed up and changed his view of love, and how he struggled between losing John and opening up about his feelings.

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

Cabin Pressure whump fic recs

For @theladyoffangorn who asked for some H/C / whumpy fics for the radio drama Cabin Pressure. Sorry it took so long! I hope you like these :D Also if you haven’t listened to Cabin Pressure you really should. It’s the best.

Something is Wrong, A Cabin Pressure Fic By: LoveAlltheSherlocks

Something is wrong with Martin. 

Tobermory By: ufovalet 

The crew of MJN fly a package to a small Scottish isle during a dangerous snowstorm. Martin has rotten luck. Martin whump, Martin/Douglas friendship 

Cabin Pressure: God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen By: Kerkerian-Horizon 

Martin Crieff falls ill shortly before Christmas. Thanks to a sad-looking Labrador and other circumstances, Arthur and Douglas happily break the law to come to his aid. Cabin Pressure fic, also featuring Carolyn, Herc and Snoopadoop and lots of friendship.

An Unexpected Destination By: fortytworedvines 

Things are going badly wrong in Martin’s homelife, and Douglas’s isn’t great either. MJN’s like a family now, and they’ll help each other out- but they have to reveal their problems first.

The lives we touch By: Launa Alvara 

Martin knew that if he ever ended up in hospital, no one would be sitting at his bedside waiting for him to wake up. When the situation arises, he’s not surprised to find he isn’t wrong…

Never Too Much By: SentimentalDefect 

CABIN PRESSURE SICK!FIC Martin is seriously ill and alone for the weekend, and is afraid to call anyone for help. In which Martin is sick, Carolyn is motherly, and family proves to be much more than the people we are raised with.

Five to Drive By: whitchry9 

Martin is ‘off’ and Douglas notices. Luckily, he knows how to fix it. (Because he knows everything, basically.)

I’ve Never Had Air Sickness Before! By: Cumberbatch Critter 

A CABIN PRESSURE FANFIC. “Wha-? No, no, no! I’m not sick! Why would I be sick? I don’t get air sickness; I’ve dreamt of being in the air since-” “Yes, Martin, we know all about your dreams. However, in this instance, you are a living-breathing-cold-or-flu-breeding-machine. Please don’t sneeze on the controls.” Martin’s ill, whether he wants to admit it or not.

In The Fell Clutch of Circumstance By: DreamBrother 

All it takes is a warm summer’s day and the sting of a wasp. 

Thrust my Luck By: Froggybangbang 

In answer to a prompt for Whump!Martin. Martin gets home after a week of flight and things go from bad to worse. rated for a bit on chapter 2. Sorry about that: my brain got away from me!

Because I’m Useless By: Kenizz 

Martin knows he’s useless, he knows that no matter what he does someone else will, and has already done it better than he ever could. So the day when Douglas slaps him across the face he isn’t surprised, everybody else hit him, why should'n Douglas?

New York It’s a Helluva Town By: jink 

Sick!Martin reports to work where pride, poverty, and the temptation of extra layover time see him take a turn for the worst in line of duty.Carolyn saves her money, Arthur saves the day, Douglas saves the universe and Martin saves no one

Reach Out for our Hands by Lydia_E_Nheers

Martin is at the end of his rope. He missed an important van job. He’s just given his last two hundred pounds to pay his rent. Now he has no money, no food, and no job. His van is breaking down and eventually he follows suit.

[mywingsareonwheels]

That thing in fanfic. Omg. Where the characters do things that they definitely wouldn't do in canon[1], but the dialogue and the thought processes are so emphatically, perfectly-written, and so profoundly true to those characters that it's just utterly convincing. Where a writer will take the characters down incredible byways but they know them, oh goodness they know those characters, they know them inside and out, so you'll follow the story anywhere. :D

Right now this is brought to you by that delightful Cabin Pressure fic where Douglas and Martin get together while being fake-married in Saltzburg (it's brilliant, all fellow Douglas/Martin shippers who like sweetness and filth and humour and a bit of hurt/comfort you are so missing out if you haven't read it yet :) ), but honestly I could have been moved to make this post by so many fics I've read, in every fandom I'm in and some I'm generally not. :-)

Honestly this is one of the greatest things fanfic does, and we should feel very good about that. :) <3

[1] Hugging each other, fucking each other, adopting a kid, actually talking about their feelings for once, running a florist or a bakery, selling one of their books for once, leading a werewolf pack, going to see their friend-on-the-force play rugby and cycling all the way home, becoming pregnant, becoming a spy... oh, you know the drill.
