Recs!

fandomgiftbox finally went to reveals and I got the most amaaazing fic! Julie/Derek 5+1 based on the Blood Heir chapters that were going up on the Ilona Andrews website (that sadly have now been taken down because the authors have decided to release it as a proper book) and it is so good it could be canon. I am just thrilled to bits! The decision to 5+1 based on senses (especially since they both have supernatural ones) is just !!! Please go read it! The author has also written some incredible rebelcaptain fic, so I plan to go through their whole back catalog soon! <3

Also have to rec this amazing modern AU Gendrya fic because it is hot AF and also gets that angsty longing/fear from making that friends to lovers leap spot-on perfect. Everything from the characterization to the smut is just fantastically done.

Summary:

The candles cast warm glows on Gendry’s skin, shadows dancing in the room all around them. Time is syrupy and slow and it’s all Arya can do to hope that the power stays out for a little longer.

Arya and Gendry have a deal: he'll help her assemble her new couch and she'll cook him dinner. When they're hit with a summer blackout, tensions boil over.

I also recently finished Enola Holmes and both seasons of The Umbrella Academy and I loved both! Seriously, Netflix: thank you for supporting awesome content! While I cross my fingers hoping for news of a sequel movie and S3+, I suppose I should get GIFfing! :D Some of Millie Bobby Brown's reaction shots are DYING to be made into GIF icons (and Henry Cavill was so droolworthy gorgeous I just about died.) My faves in TUA are: Klaus, Ben, Lila, Diego, Vanya. If you want icons of anybody else, let me know!
