God, the queer shipping has gotten its wins recently.
Funny that those aren't even the top of the iceberg of my ships, so I had to exclude all media marketed as gay (Heartstopper), all non anglo-american media (like the Untamed), all WLW (Xena), all cartoons (Yuri on Ice), and everything else I forgot. Ah the shipping life is so rich.

@killjoypolitics asked about my Acrobat Obi-Wan au for the ask game!
The acrobat was… well, beautiful was the only word Cody could find to describe him. And yet it still felt like beautiful was an understatement.
His hair, ginger turned to fire by the lighting, had been neat at the start of the performance, but was now mussed, falling into his face. His uniform, light blue with golden embroidery, left very little to the imagination, despite the fact that it covered all but his arms, feet, and head.
To say nothing of his performance. The man moved through the air like he had been born there, twirling and twisting in ways Cody hadn’t even seen Jedi do. And hells, the acrobat was smiling, no trace of fear on his face as he tumbled down with nothing but the hard ground to catch him. He laughed as he did a particularly twisty flip, the sound echoing through the tent and making Cody ache to hear it again.
The acrobat spun, caught himself on a rung with his legs, and swung upwards, arm outstretched.
His swing reached its peak, and he looked up, looked at Cody, met his eyes, and suddenly Cody was drowning in blueblueblue. Blue like water, like the light of a blaster bolt. Blue like the sky this man seemed to feel so at home in.
The acrobat's smile softened, his hand turning palm up, like he was waiting for someone to take it. Then his momentum fell, and he was twisting away, and suddenly Cody remembered how to breathe.
This is an au where Obi-Wan never rejoined the Order after Melida/Daan and joined a circus! Cody gets the opportunity to go to one of his shows during the war and falls head over heels when he sees him perform. Similarly, Obi-Wan immediately develops a crush on the pretty trooper who feels like sunshine in the Force. Both of them are adorable <3

(231) Helex realises he is short on continuing professional development requirements for this cycle. This is typically not a huge problem, because the vast, vast majority of Decepticon officers do not give a fuck, including Megatron. But Helex's commanding officer is Tarn. There is no regulation about which Tarn is indifferent.
But there's just no way he can get in the hours before his commanding officer notices how behind he is... unless he comes up with something else to keep Tarn distracted.
The Peaceful Tyranny always runs within regulations. But Helex's willing to bet that Deathsaurus's warworld — housing five hundred separate sparks — can't practically do that all the time. So all he has to do, he figures, is find a few really serious hazards (or create some) to keep the commanders focused on bickering between themselves and delay his own performance review. Easy, right?
