As any fangirl blessed by a fandom with incredibly talented writers-you can imagine I have more than 5 favorite fics in every category(angst,fluff,au…).But I will give you my comfort fics,the ones I reread over and over again when I need to fully disconnect from RL and escape:
1. The blessed Orange Verse by @vowel-in-thug. No surprises here,all I need is to read a bit and RL?What RL? Very useful after hard days.
2. I can’t decide between Lightbringer verse and Bang Bang you’re Dead by @jadedbirch because I read both like…way too many times,considering that Bang Bang is fairly new.
3. You’ve got to carry weapons ‘cause you always carry cash by @primal–scream . One of these modern aus that have it all,from pure hotness to plot to tears and angst and unexpected reveals. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a roller coaster kinda fic and I def need that sometimes.
4.Your Hips, Your Lips, Your Skin On Mine by @bisexualpirateheart. Silver is a nude model and Flint is an art professor and…Silver is a NUDE MODEL. Excellent, delicious,feel good fic to read and love ❤
5. Roll around this roundabout by lacecat (@jamesbarlow-I was trying to tag on Tumblr but no luck). Listen this fic is a masterpiece in how you do a spy au when spies are idiots with lots of issues. Instant rec to cure all your headaches.
This post popped up in my notes again (thanks @toomuchsky-do read all of them!) and I decided that this list needs another 5 fic recs. All AUs and fabulous:
* Lease Agreement by @twofrontteethstillcrooked – oh my what a fave ❤ Silver rents a room from Flint,can’t cook and doesn’t know how to sit like a normal person.Idelle shoots a ceiling,Gates is Flint’s boss,Muldoon and Logan are awesome dudes and Flint is living again.It’s a brilliant fun fic you all need to read.
* Seedlings by same talented @twofrontteethstillcrooked – I reread this fic 4 times in last few months and it has become an absolute ‘must reread’ once a month for peace of mind and good health.I LOVE THIS FIC. A modern au where Flint looks like a wet dream and sells Silver a furnace so he won’t freeze to death.There is pining and community garden and squirrels.Trust me you all want to read that one too ( I am doing it as well and Silver just asked ‘
“Would you like something more comfortable to change into?”-it was an innocent question lol)
* The Pirate Captain’s Wedding by darling @bisexualpirateheart – we teamed up on SFBB and I did some edits and Sally gave us an amazing take on ‘arranged marriage’ trope. A matelotage fic! Basically Flint didn’t want to get married,but Gates said he has too and Billy did too and so Flint marries Silver,who is a little shit.Life becomes very interesting for everyone.
* Penis PJs verse by @jadedbirch – this is that one cracky verse I will never get bored of.Works like magic when I need a break from everything.Why Penis PJs? Because Flint literally wears penis pajamas.
* Butterscotch verse by @r0b0tb0y – useless bisexual Silver/Deaf Flint AU which is like a warm blanket and is precious to me.You guys it’s a coffee shop AU!!!!!
bless you all for writing such gems <333
oly shit THAT’S where I knew his wonderful face from! Toby Stephens was the love interest in this formative utter feast of sexual confusion, which in hindsight is a total no-brainer why I loved this movie so much as a teenager: protagonist was allowed to be a girl AND the sought-after guy, AND they got the hottie in the end!
but dudes, that’s Flint!
Love+++ the moment when Orsino roughhouses Cesario – and the moment Orsino teaches Cesario how to play cards and smoke cigars – and the bathtub – and the moment when Orsino and Cesario brush shoulders while Feste is singing, and look at each other, and break away – and the soul searching on the rocks – and did I mention the bathtub …
… and heterosexuality triumphs in the end, with everyone who is even vaguely queer banished from the castle …

Let people like things with whatever intensity their own will demands.
Let people who’ve read a book or seen a movie one time and really enjoyed it call themselves fans.
Let people who don’t remember facts about a fantasy world love that universe and its inhabitants.
Let people who don’t remember the last film in excrutiating detail enjoy the next one.
Let fans wear tshirts and buttons and costumes and subtle homages to their favorite characters.
Let fans dress up or dress down at cons.
Let fans enjoy their fandom from the comfort of their home.
Let fic writers enjoy their favorite stories through the constant diversion & reinvention of those stories.
Let fans who spell characters names wrong love those characters with their whole heart.
Let fans enjoy their faves without a legitimacy test.
Michael Sheen:
“I wanted to play Aziraphel being sort of in love with Crowley,” says Sheen. “They’re both very bonded and connected anyway, because of the two of them having this relationship through history – but also because angels are beings of love, so it’s inevitable that he would love Crowley. It helped that loving David is very easy to do.”
What kind of love – platonic, romantic, erotic?
“Oh, those are human, mortal labels!” Sheen laughs. “But that was what I thought would be interesting to play with. There’s a lot of fan fiction where Aziraphale and Crowley get a bit hot and heavy towards each other, so it’ll be interesting to see how an audience reacts to what we’ve done in bringing that to the screen.”

That’s how love is. It’s a powerful weapon. It can work for us or against us, can’t it?
I have many difficult things to do right now, but I couldn’t help myself – two stills from Wim Wenders’ “Kings of the Road” (Im Lauf der Zeit, 1976)
Wings of Desire (1987)
Directed by Wim Wenders
Cinematography by Henri Alekan“Must I give up now? If I do give up, then mankind will lose its storyteller. And if mankind once loses its storyteller, then it will lose its childhood.”
Totally agree. Moments of cuteness and pretentiousness, but wonderful film.
A p.s. for slash fans who also have aesthetic and historical/political interests: please, PLEASE find and watch Wenders’ masterpiece “Im Lauf der Zeit”. The original title (In the course of time) was made more “palatable” for English speakers as “Kings of the Road” (Roger Miller 1960s pop song, sung by the two (anti)heroes in a moment of connection).
Silverflint drabble of the week – 26/11/2018 (Wine / Paper/ Lock)
Silver closes the door, pours himself a cup of wine, and stares at Madi’s handwriting on the envelope. How she traced him, and what she needs to tell him, is anyone’s guess.
He breaks the seal. Two sheets of paper. One is from Madi, just a few succinct words. The other – Silver recognizes the handwriting and freezes. He has a long drink, then another.
He takes a deep breath and unfolds the letter. He frowns, sighs, smiles, frowns again. Then he pockets the letter, finds a key, unlocks the wardrobe, grabs his pack and starts shoving his clothes into it.
