after each midnight begins a new day by iphigenias (@oatflatwhite)

“Go to bed, Buck,” Eddie says quietly as they watch Ana make French toast. She has to open three drawers to find the skillet.

“It’s otherwise occupied.” They turn as one to look at Christopher on the couch, watching re-runs of the Animaniacs. Eddie’s mouth folds into a smile that dimples his cheek almost imperceptibly, and Buck wants to ask Ana if she knows it’s there. If she could trace the uneven curve of Eddie’s mouth in the dark, the gentle tick to the right.

He’s tired. He sips his juice.

“Mine’s free.”

Ana looks up from the stove. Buck wonders if their knees fit together like his and Eddie’s do, when they’re pressed, leg-to-leg, in the engine.

“Yeah,” he finds himself saying. “Thanks, Eds.”

Do u have any fic recs that are like. Cute, slice of life, canon Catradora?

Good timing! I just finished Daylight by Fuhadeza that follows Catra and Adora in the immediate aftermath of Heart part 2 and is incredibly fluffy

If you’re looking for something less immediate post canon look no further than one hundred love sonnets: xvii by iphigenias is a cute one shot series that follows Catra and Adora years in the future

If you loved that but want even more check out Ahelpfulpeach’s (@ahelpfulpeach )She-Ra Canon Universe Stories they’re all brilliant and there’s a million of ‘em

Feel free to keep dropping asks if you want fic recs!

In honor of Femslash February, the binder is recommending our favorite femslash fics. Today’s fic is centered around Sana/Eva. If you like it, please consider leaving it some love in the form of kudos and comments!

somewhere the sky is going soft - iphigenias (24k words)

Sixth year at Hogwarts and Eva’s got a lot on her mind: Quidditch, ex-boyfriends, and the daunting prospect of confronting her bisexuality. Not to mention an ever-increasing course load, helping a friend out of an abusive relationship, and the not-so-little crush she may or may not be nursing for a girl who happens to be her best friend. It's a good thing Hufflepuffs value hard work.

Notes & Ramblings:

This story features the rare pair of Sana/Eva, in a Hogwarts AU. Sana/Eva has essentially no canon precedent, but this fic does a lovely job of showing the quiet sweetness between these two. Additionally, Eva as a Hufflepuff Beater and Sana as a Slytherin Chaser and their friendly rivalry gives a really nice playfulness to the relationship. 

The Hogwarts elements add a charming (figuratively and literally, ha!) flavor to the story without distracting from the central storyline of Eva’s relationships and coming out. 

My favorite part of this fic was inhabiting Eva’s headspace again. Her pov here is immersive and spot-on, and made me incredibly happy. If you’re an Eva fan, this fic is worth reading for that alone.

This is also Eva’s coming out story and has unassuming but strong bisexual representation. 

I adored all the Girl Squad interaction and friendship in this fic! Truly, this story gave me s1 feelings more than almost any other fic I’ve read, despite it being very obviously an AU.

Beyond the Girl Squad, there are cameos by most of the Skam characters here, including the Boy Squad and the Bakka boys. 

This is a sweet story with lots of good feelings and great friendships. There’s plenty of fluff, but it also has some great introspective moments and deals well with love, break-ups, and moving on.

Favorite Lines:

She’s silent for a moment, the words building up inside of her, before she decides fuck it and lets them out. “But I mean, while you’re listening. I’m bisexual, I think. I mean, I know. Fuck. Why was that so hard?” She’s blinking away tears rapidly now and Jonas has probably clued in on it because he reaches across and takes her hand. His fingers feel familiar interlaced with hers, like a ghost, or a memory. Jonas gives her hand a soft squeeze.

“I think it’s meant to be hard. The hardest things are always the most important,” he tells her, and she loves him, still, just different to the way she used to.

75 best knitting puns that will have you hooked by iphigenias (@oatflatwhite)

Buck—Buck is knitting.

Eddie blinks, rubs his eyes. Yeah, Buck is knitting: thick fingers a little clumsy as Bobby shows him how to purl stitch with a soft-looking ball of pink ombre wool. “You’re knitting,” Eddie says, flummoxed, because Buck’s hands look huge and ridiculous on the needles, but the way he’s holding them so carefully, the pink tip of his tongue pursed between his lips as he concentrates, is making Eddie feel—well, something. He’s not sure what. And then Buck pulls the stitch from one needle to the other, looks up to meet Eddie’s eyes with an embarrassed smile, and, yeah, okay. He knows what he’s feeling.

the handyman can ('cause he fixes it with love) by iphigenias (@oatflatwhite)

Eddie’s first thought when he opens the door is that Hen’s finally getting payback for Eddie hustling her in pool last Friday. The guy standing on the stoop is sweaty, smiling, with biceps that look like they could jaws-of-life a car all on their own and a very pink, very biteable kiss of a birthmark above his crinkled blue eyes. His toolbelt looks like every toolbelt from every bad porn movie ever, slung absurdly low on his hips, and the acid-wash jean shorts he’s wearing absolutely cannot be OSHA-approved.

Eddie decidedly does not look at the thick muscle of the guy’s thighs when he says, “uh, I think you have the wrong house.”

your abigail cosplay is lovely! where did you buy the jacket?

Thank you kindly!

The jacket is from Bershka via thrift store, painted with Dylon opaque red fabric paint. You can just get any black burgundy zip-up jacket you like the look of, wash it and apply the paint. You will also need to prime with two coats of white paint underneath (ETA: on reconsidering, this is optional). I applied the paint with an (unused, obvs) kitchen sponge.

Be warned that the process is time-consuming and the finish is not very durable - by the end of the day the red had flaked off in several places. I was carrying a shoulder bag, so the friction from that didn’t help.

More importantly, the paint isn’t completely colourfast, so the white blouse underneath is now stained in red, but hopefully that’ll come out in the wash.
