We are the best, so screw the rest

I've had a chill long weekend with few obligations (!!), so had the chance to bask in recent reveals from two exchanges that I didn't sign up for this year: raremaleslashex and caseficexchange. Here are some of the works I enjoyed! (All works still anonymous!)

Casefic recs

Bigpaw Walks Among Us (fic)
Bunnicula series - James Howe, ensemble, 9391 words, rated general audience
omg, this was a gem! A perfect extension of the books, charming, goofy, and fun. The animals set out to solve the mystery of Bigpaw, with schemes, hijinks, and puns.

Paw and Order: The Absent Author (fic)
due South, Fraser & Ray K & Diefenbaker, 4269 words, rated general audience
This is so cute, charming, and fun, a cozy mystery wrapped up in typical dS quirky magical realism. Plus silliness with dogs!!

Love This Face (Love the Person Wearing It) (fic)
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Edgin/Xenk, Edgin & Holga, 6332 words, rated teen
A great casefic where Edgin & Holga follow a lead on a monster, and Xenk shows up tracking the same thing. Nicely paced plot, solid characterization, and great simmering chemistry between Edgin/Xenk.

who hosts house parties on a monday (fic)
Legends of Tomorrow, Zari 1.0/Ray Palmer, 5083 words, rated teen
A cute and fun undercover-as-a-couple mission fic, with canon-typical Legends shenanigans! A great caper, super fun.

[Minicomic] Retrofit (comic)
Original Work, Female Veteran Battle Android turned Private Investigator, rated teen
Loved this character design! Such a cool combo of cyberpunk and noir, and great use of a limited colour palette.

Anything but Equinox (fic)
Brilliant Minds, Josh Nichols/Oliver Wolf, 4501 words, rated teen
A fantastic post-S1 take on the tension, reservations, and reconciliation between Josh and Oliver. Lovely characterization and sharp dialogue - really loved this.

galeocerdo (fic)
Jaws movies, Martin Brody/Matt Hooper, 1442 words, rated mature
Loved the intensity of this! Matt uses a blowjob to get Brody to go back out onto the boat. Excellent stuff.

All Ears (art)
Star Trek DS9, Jake Sisko/Nog, rated teen
Aww, art of a soft and intimate oo-mox scene!

Things that are making me happy:

• Change Gamer, the surprise secret finale of Game Changer! It was so fun and so full of heart, I loved it (and loved this whole season!).


• Wading in the ocean along a beautifully shallow, sandy beach, so cool and refreshing on a blisteringly hot day.


• This gorgeous animated pixel art, made entirely in MS Excel 2007 (how even!!): Aspen Red Forest by anasabdin [moving gif]


• The upcoming long weekend, omg, it can't come soon enough!

I'm planning to sign up for much-beloved exchange ficinabox (sign-ups open until Aug 31; late nominations accepted until Aug 30!) Very excited for swaps and fun mediums!
