lovely things!

Avatar: the Last Airbender

Filial Impiety by lizbee (Azula/Toph)

lizbee makes this pairing work so, so well, this is a great future fic.

Grey by melodytree (Kyoshi)

For queer_fest, this is a long and lovely look at Kyoshi's life and her negotiations of being genderqueer.

Doctor Who

Vids:

St. Stephen's Cross by kaydeefalls (Amy/Rory)

kaydeefalls + Vienna Teng + Amy/Rory = all the happiness.

Whatever It Is by usuallyhats (ALL THE COMPANIONS OMG)

A lovely, quiet look at all the amazing companions of the show from Ian and Barbara to Amy and Rory. <3

Before I Met You by fizzyblogic (Doctor/River, various others)

eeee! fizzyblogic made this for ME and it is LOVELY. An awesome look at love through time and space and the Doctor and River's different approaches to it, and also the two of them being all pretty and wonderful.

Fic:

Straight Lines by calapine (Eleven/TARDIS)

The perfect coda to 6x04.

Harry Potter

Souvenirs and Lost Luggage by anonymous at hp_beholder (Petunia)

This is a wonderful and sympathetic look at Petunia rediscovering herself post-series.

Dudley Dursley and the Elusive Difference by kahvi

Another queer_fest story, this does a really great job of keeping Dudley's characterisation consistent with the series while also giving him a lot more depth, spinning from the premise that he's intersex and doesn't know for a long time. Lovely.

Fannish News

kink_bingo is gearing up for another round, whee! There are essays and updated rules and so on at the comm, which are all worth reading. Some of the rule changes are pretty great, particularly the addition of various achievements for things like getting a line bingo with asexual characters etc, and also the fact it's extended for an extra month, which gives me something to do when I am post-degree and job-hunting in September, awesome.
