Mission Impossible The Missionary Position, by matchsticks (Ethan and Benji pretend to be married for a mission and are also actually married for real.) “Hunt is refusing to confirm or deny whether you’ve gone much more Method than necessary for your last cover,” Hunley says without any preamble.

Solid Copy, by thefourthvine A Yuletide 2016 story! For The Losers (movie-verse). Team hijinx, banter, and bonus telepathy. Includes this perfect exchange! “How can you not find the ocean relaxing?” Cougar asked, like that was their main problem here. “It’s full of fish,” Jensen explained. “It’s full of fish and some of them are sharks […]
It’s that time of year again — Yuletide is back! A few fics recs as of now: 1. Qualifications (Ghostbusters) “My mother once dreamed that a terrible calamity was going to happen. And then, the very next day, Perry Mason was cancelled.” 2. If you don’t like it you can lump it (Young Avengers, Hawkeye) […]
Many, many thanks to my pinboard network, who plucked these gems from the lovely chaos of Yuletide 2013. Backup, by anonymous (yuletide fic) Featuring 2 Hawkeyes, ninjas, Lucky the dog, and this fantastic text: “KIDNAPPED NINJAS WARWICK HOTEL BRING BACKUP BATTERY DYING CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT” Running to Arrive, by anonymous (yuletide fic) Featuring […]
Yuletide 2012 (apparently Yuletide is the short version of “While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure Fanfiction Challenge,” which I definitely did not remember) is like a vortex. A vortex that eats time.

1. I have eight million blankets, and the cats are sleeping on *all* of them. I’m on the floor with a hoodie and a fleece jacket, and my toes are cold. 2. We have power and I am so, *so* grateful. Also, shoveling snow is quite the arm workout. I’ve been looking forward to going […]
Hey, here’s two fics I’ve mentioned recently, and just went and re-found. And I’m treating it like a brand new post that counts and everything! Little Settlement on the Moon, by Rina The one with Little House on the Prairie and going to the moon. They could go further West or they could just go […]
