So when an escape plan, in the form of Sirius Black, presents itself, Remus is more than happy to take it.
All Hail the Outlaws by @lala-lady-elena (29k)

Paper Swans by @lala-lady-elena (27k) The Sequel to Fractured Skies-Remus and Sirius are happy together. But they never envisioned a life where they’d lose their two best friends and have to fight for their godson. And yet things somehow work out, just not in the way they expected. With Harry off to Hogwarts Academy for his first year, Remus and Sirius deal with an empty nest and more importantly, feeling like their family is not yet complete.
I feel like i should rec entire AO3 profile of @angry-space-ravenclaw bc i literally read all her fics and this list would need to have all of them??
hey guys, on my instagram i asked if people wanted to see videos that motivate me studying, pushing my limits, and most important help me stop procrastinating. so here is my top 5 videos, hope you like them! (instagram: thomreads)
if you realize you’ve been studying for hours: grab a snack to refuel your body and watch a sitcom to refuel your brain. then back to the books.
if you’re feeling stressed out: take some deep breaths, text your friends, maybe stare at a wall for a few minutes. gather yourself.
if you can’t seem to focus: get moving and get outside. take out the garbage, check your mail box, maybe walk your dog. just get moving and get fresh air. it’ll help bring you back.
if there’s something else going on in your life and you can’t get it off your mind: write down what’s going through your head, sort of like a diary entry. it’ll help you work things out.
if you’re just mentally and physically exhausted: set a timer for 25-30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll hit REM and you’ll wake up feeling just as tired. once you wake up, get some caffeine in you.
if the material is boring as hell: find another way to study. see if there’s a crash course video online about it or draw out what you’re trying to learn in diagrams and pictures to make it fun.
if people around you won’t shut up: listen to some music. soundtrack and classical music is always good because they won’t absorb you as much as music with lyrics. white noise (like ocean waves, rain sounds, etc.) also works.
if you only half understand a concept: call/message a friend who’s not in the class and try to teach the material to them. this will help you mentally work through the material and will help you remember it as well.
Hey my lovelies. I realize I’ve been holding out on people asking for Johnlock ANGST fics. This isn’t really my area. If I find a well-written angsty fic, I’m gonna read it, but it isn’t my go to. I realize tho that I have a list of things I won’t read or won’t read again, and you angst hounds are welcome to it. (All of these are top notch stories, just too angsty for me! )

Evidence of Human Life
by thesardine, 16 k, explicit. John and Sherlock are on a desert island, and
Sherlock goes mad. Dubcon.
Software Malfunction
by tiger_in_the_flight_deck, 16 k, explicit. He functions like a human, but can a robot Sherlock
learn to love? Yes. yes he can. High angst, but so well written.
To The Last Drop
by bendingsignpost, 31 k, explicit. “If

IF YOU NEED TO CALL 911 BUT ARE SCARED TO BECAUSE OF SOMEONE IN THE ROOM, dial and ask for a pepperoni pizza. They will ask if you know you’re calling 911. Say yes, and continue pretending you’re making an order. They’ll ask if there’s someone in the room.
You can ask how long it will take for the pizza to get to you, and they will tell you how far away a dispatcher is.
My flat-mate’s date for the night was almost as drunk as her. She had passed out in her room and locked the door. He refused to leave because he wanted to have sex. He also demanded food because he was dealing with “whiskey dick”. He didn’t like the lack of food in the fridge. I called 911, did the stuff stated above, and he was getting PISSED about how long the “order” was taking. He took my phone, demanded they “hurry the fuck up”. Police arrived two minutes later, arrested him, and helped me file a police report. Pressing charges wasn’t necessary because he had warrants on him from THREE different states for the very thing he planned to do to me. Several months after this happened one of the officers informed me he was charged with two felonies because he crossed stay lines, and will be serving no less than 35 years in prison. The officer ripped into my flat-mate about her bringing home complete strangers, while drunk, knowing full well this shit could happen.
This was 14 years ago.
Do the pizza order, do it as calmly as you can. The dispatcher I spoke to said things like this:
“If he’s drunk say you want mushrooms.” I said I want extra mushrooms.
“If he’s threatening you with sexual assault say you want onions.” I said I want onions.
She went like this with different toppings and sauces for a description of him, like pineapple if he’s blonde, black olives if he’s tall, extra large if he’s tall, etc.
They’ve heard this sort of coded call before. They’re trained for it. They will understand what you’re saying. Order the pizza.
Really though. I’m in training for dispatch and this was one of the first things they taught us. Pretend you’re talking to a friend or relative, pretend you’re ordering pizza, we’ll figure it out. We’ll word questions so you can answer in an easy, casual way. Please, just make the call and we will do everything we can to help you.
I’ve had these lists in progress for ages, I am going to post them before they gather even more dust, because I really need to clear out my recs file! And, oh, man, I continue to love how there are just some really great fic writers in this fandom. *__*

Thor, if you have dedicated yourself to overcoming your difficulties with the written script and chosen my private parchments as your practice, put this down now or I will cut your hands off in the night and feed them to the fish! I shall know, Thor! ✦ untitled by karuvapatta, thor/loki, ~1k Prompt: Shoulder rubs, here you go! ✦ Simple by karuvapatta, thor/loki, nsfw, 1k In retrospect, he shouldn’t have looked. OTHER PAIRINGS: ✦ Two’s Company by Mikkeneko, steve/loki, sick!steve, 1.5k This was a chapter of his life that Steve thought he’d left behind, along with creaky humidifiers, sitting on the bleachers while the other kids played football, and ‘cure-alls’ purchased from the down-alley markets that never seemed to do much. ✦ The Dread of Touching by zauberer_sirin, bruce/natasha, 1k Bruce is frightened, but not for himself. ✦ Leaving Impressions by Kay (sincere), thor/sif, 1.1k The gods of the Norsemen will soon leave them, and a new god has already arrived to take their place.

Thor and Loki get dosed with sex pollen and it brings out some distinctly unbrotherly feelings.
As soon as Loki had realized the effect that the pollen was having on them he’d tried to keep as much distance from Thor as possible, but it was a losing battle. The aphrodisiac was too strong, amplifying the centuries of emotion between them and transforming it into something new and monstrous.
Well, he had always been a monster, he thought viciously. Now Thor could know what it felt like to be one too. They would finally be equal.
A Jötunn AU set in Utgård where both Thor and Loki are Jötnar, Thor a blacksmith and Loki the jarl’s youngest son. Their lives become intertwined through friendship, which time shapes into something deeper.
