Sexual Harassment Training
Captain Price has a permanent scowl on his face today, it seems. You see him stomping around like a toddler on a rampage at lunch.
"What's got the Captain all bollocksed up? Did I say that, right?" Soap grins, then grimaces as he thinks about it. Standing together, you dump your trays before Soap leads you to the team meeting.
"Ya, doll, that's how you say it. He's like this every year. Mandatory sexual harassment training for everyone this afternoon." You ponder it for a minute.
"Why? Like, it's just something to sit through, right? It isn't like anyone is harassing our team."
He chuckles quietly and answers, "they aren't worried about the likes of me getting harassed, but that we will harass you, Princess." You elbow him and sit next to Ghost, who has saved you as seat per usual.
"Hey Luv, ready to be bored and insulted for a few hours?"
"Are these really that bad, Bruv?"
"They are, Crumpet. They really are."
"Hey! You need to address your coworkers with respect! Nicknames have no place in this organization, Mr..."
"Riley, Lieutenant Riley." Ghost stiffens up in his seat, restrained irritation pouring off of him. The woman from human resources turns toward you.
"Ma'am I have the form here to file a complaint when you feel up to it. No rush."
"Uhh... a complaint?" You stare at her in complete confusion as she brandishes a form at your face.
"Yes, no one should be treated with such disrespect. Talking down to coworkers is frowned upon." Her voice is condescendingly sweet, grating on your last nerve already. You stare at her for a moment before nodding, and Ghost tries to catch your eye, looking shocked.
"Pet... I mean, Sergeant. Do my nicknames make you feel uncomfortable? I will stop if they do. You never said anything, or I wouldn't have..."
"Hmm...? Oh no, but I will be filing a complaint." Turning toward the smirking woman, you ask, "what was your name again? Brenda McMasters? Perfect." You quickly fill out the paperwork before handing it over. She skims it with a smile, then freezes in place as she reads it more closely, her smile falling. She looks up at you, then back at the paper, reading it again and again as the words sink in.
"You- you can't file a complaint on me! I'm the one teaching you about sexual harassment! I'm here to make sure these brutes don't attack you!"
You shrug before responding, "I feel singled out by you due to my gender and your policing of the camaraderie between myself and my teammates. It is making me feel very uncomfortable, Ma'am." Her jaw is hanging open in complete shock.
You stand and turn to the Captain, watching you with a grin on his face at the front of the room. "I don't know if I feel comfortable being taught by someone who is sexist and clearly violating policy, Captain Price. May we request a different lecturer? I know it will mean rescheduling, but I don't think we should be learning about harassment from someone who has a complaint on file."
Captain Price has to smother his grin and bite back laughter at your innocent expression when Brenda turns toward him. "You are right, Sergeant. Ma'am, I will take that complaint and file it. It wouldn't be proper for you to file one on yourself, or it might go missing in transit." He gleefully plucks the paper from her hands and walks out. She follows, looking ill. You can hear her trying to get the Captain to stop and discuss the matter..
You lean on the table with a pleased look. "So, free afternoon, now. Any plans?" The team just stares at you, still processing what happened. You see Ghost staring down at the table and tap his hand. "You alright, Tiger?" He looks up, visibly distressed.
"The nicknames, do they bother you, Sergeant?" He needs to know now. The last thing anyone here wants is to disrespect you.
"Course not. Makes my day. The only things better are cuddling after a long day while we watch movies in the rec room or killing fucks on the field together. HR doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about, Bruv." Turning back to the rest of the team with a grin you say, "How about we sun up on Captain's grass? He won't be back for a bit anyway."
"You're playing with fire, Lamb. We're in."

Jupiter & Rahu : Ditziness & Weird Girl Humor
This post is inspired by an ask I received a while ago
Jupiter & Rahu girls in comedy cinema/television often play airheaded characters who are a bit ditzy and zany. Another feature is that all these characters are mostly harmless, good natured people. They can be mean/blunt but its because of their ditzy, airheaded nature and not out of malice.
All 3 Jupiter naks belong mostly to air signs (Punarvasu- Gemini, Vishaka-Libra, Purvabhadrapada- Aquarius) and same goes for all 3 Rahu naks (Ardra-Gemini, Swati-Libra, Shatabhisha-Aquarius) in fact all Rahu naks come right before a Jupiter nak. I have always personally believed that Rahu & Jupiter are similar in many ways but obviously different as well. Rahu is limitless expansion. Jupiter is boundless expansion within principles.
But all that aside, Jupiter & Rahu are literally air influenced and I do think its the presence of an excess of Air that makes someone come across as "airheaded".
The etymology of the word "airhead" is that one's head is filled with air and is thus empty. I have talked about Jupiter & even Rahu's limitless nature feeling "empty" for the natives themselves. Out of all the elements, air is the only one that can really said to be boundless, its not measurable or calculable, its just there, unlike water or earth or fire. but air has no physical form and while that is liberating, it also makes one feel empty and untethered and these are all emotional issues that a lot of Jupiter/Rahu people deal with.
But anyyywayys,
youtube
Cat Valentine on Victorious played by Ariana Grande is a really good example of an airheaded, zany comic character.
Ari has Ardra Sun & Mercury in Punarvasu (Rahu + Jupiter influence)
I will include Mercury placements because Mercury is literally how we communicate with others??
youtube
Phoebe Buffay from Friends is another good example of this type of comedy. She is played by Lisa Kudrow's who has Rahu conjunct Ascendant in Punarvasu
youtube
Kelly Kapoor from The Office is the ditzy zany delusional gal played by Mindy Kaling who is Ardra Sun & Moon, with Mercury in Punarvasu
youtube
Jackie Burkhart on The 70s Show played by Mila Kunis, Swati Moon is a meaner version of this archetype
youtube
Meryl Streep- Ardra Sun often speaks and talks this way. Just watch any of her interviews and you can sense that Rahu/Jupiter airy nature/demeanour/comic sense
youtube
Janhvi Kapoor, Purvabhadrapada Sun, Mercury in Shatabhisha is known for her "dumb girl persona" that most people think is fake but tbh I just think she's a little slow due to all that Air influence lol
youtube
Gracie Allen, Mercury in Punarvasu conjunct Jupiter is an early example of this type of humour and comedy
youtube
Cheryl Tunt on Archer voiced by Judy Greer, Mercury in Punarvasu (Saturn in Punarvasu atmakaraka)
youtube
Chrissy Snow from Three's Company played by Suzane Somers, Punarvasu Moon & Mercury in Vishaka is a classic example of a ditz
There are notable male ditzy characters as well
youtube
Andy from Parks & Rec played by Chris Pratt, Mercury in Punarvasu & Swati Rising
(there's a 10 video limit per post so I cant attach more vids)
Joey Tribbiani, played by Matt LeBlanc, Purvabhadrapada Moon, Mercury in Ardra & Punarvasu Rising is a great example of a male ditz
Harpo Marx- Punarvasu Moon, Mercury in Vishaka he was a silent comedian known for his highly exaggerated physical comedy that was very pantomime/clown-like. This is another aspect of the airhead/ditz, they don't just say dumb things, they do dumb things. Physical comedy is a big part of it.
London Tipton played by Brenda Song, Mercury conjunct Rahu in Purvabhadrapada
Christina Applegate, Shatabhisha Moon played a very ditzy character on Married With Children
These are all the examples off the top of my head. I feel like many Disney princesses will also fit this bill lol
lmk if you have other examples
hope this was interesting xx

Hey. Could you rec any podcasts with sapphic couples as their mains? Or a sapphic story. And so on. I only really know about where the stars fell and Alice isn't dead.
You're off to a strong start. Here's 20, there's more out there, but I tried to pick a variety. I'm going to put a ★ next to the ones I think will fit best, but they're all good.
Arden: (Fictional "True Crime", Investigative, Comedy). On the 25th of December, 2007, heiress and young actress Julie Capsom crashed her car into a tree and fled into a nearby forest clearing, leaving a trail that seemingly vanished into thin air, and a dismembered torso in the trunk. A decade later, Bea, the first reporter on the scene, and Brenda, a detective on the case, are hosting a true crime podcast about it, and neither is remotely impressed with what the other has to say. Arden is also a retelling of various Shakespeare plays.
The Author's Anathema: (Horror) Looking for some extra cash, and with some help from her girlfriend Eleanor, college student Natalie takes a small job to narrate an audiobook for a reclusive anonymous author. The book being a horror wouldn't be such a bother, but the stories within are... Familiar. Too familar.
The Beacon: (Urban Fantasy) Bee is a perpetually anxious university student who discovers she has the ability to create fire, and decides to start a podcast to find others like herself. She quickly discovers she's not alone, but a series of bizzare animal attacks suggest superpowered freshers are far from the only strange thing on campus.
The Department of Variance of Somewhere, Ohio: (Weird Fiction, Horror, Sci-Fi) On day one of a new job at the Department of Variance, in the middle of her workplace orientation, Jasmine's new workplace goes into lockdown. Guided via walkie-talkie by Scarlet, an experienced security officer, Jasmine must make her way down 20-odd shifting floors of strange entities and experiments. Ideally without becoming one of them. As a disclaimer, this one is the only addition to this list that isn't actively romantic yet, however there are canonically sapphic characters, and I am fairly confident it's headed that way.
★ Elixir: (Urban Fantasy, Romance) Set in a fantasy world's equivalent of the american prohibition, lawmakers daughter Elsie approaches someone unexpected in search of her missing sister: Vera, an alchemist and propriator of the local now-elicit hush bar.
The Far Meridian: (Magical Realism) An agorophobic young woman wakes up to discover her lighthouse home has moved overnight. It quickly becomes clear this isn't a once-off, and she decides to use this as an opportunity to search for her missing brother, having some strange encounters along the way.
Interference: (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance) Jacq is a D&D podcaster. Geneva is an orc scientist studying ancient human ruins the next world over. What happens when these women from different realities begin picking up each other's broadcasts?
Khôra Podcast: (Sci-Fi) Somewhere between adapted from and inspired by various greek myths, Khôra follows four women who deserved better (Atalanta, Echo, Medea, and Medusa) on a grand space adventure to find the golden fleece while keeping out of the reach of the olympians who own and run the galaxy.
★ Mabel: (Mystery, Supernatural, Horror, Romance). The live-in carer of a dying elderly woman attempts to contact her granddaughter, with little success. The contents of voicemails only get stranger, and what starts as a subtley creepy mystery-horror develops to poetic lesbian fae body-horror.
★ Midnight Radio: (Light Supernatural, Romance). Sybil McIntyre, host of the ever-popular 1950's nightly radio hour, begins exchanging letters with an old fan who has reluctantly returned to visit Sybil's beloved town.
Mina's Story: (Sci-Fi, Romance Elements) Still dealing with a major loss in her family, a young woman volunteers for a long-term cryonics project. The episodes are her audio logs after waking up each time, always the same place but centuries after she went to sleep. A story about grief, change, and the intersection of past and future.
Mirrors: (Sci-fi, Mystery, Supernatural). The audio journal of three women from different periods (past, present, and future) who seem to share little in common bar the strange inhuman, ghostly figures they have started seeing.
Night Life: (Supernatural, Noir) Utterly wacky one-episode story (more of a short audio movie) about an ex-vampire hunter turned private eye who finds herself dealing with the shenanigans of mafia and vampires in the wake of an upcoming mayoral election. Find it on the feed for The Lightning Bottler.
The Night Post: (Supernatural, Mystery). The conscripted couriers of Gilt City are both respected and shunned, integral to the city's function, but inexplicably tied to the supernatural. It's not something they like to talk about. When his husband goes missing on the job, Milo is called to take over. Clementine took over from her father a long time ago, yet recently someone else with her face has been delivering her own unsent letters. Val's not going to discuss how she ended up there, but she will absolutely open people's mail (filled with their own supernatural tales) to read aloud.
Palimpsest, Season 2: (Horror, Romance, Fantasy Elements). Set in the 1800s, a young woman becomes the maid to a supposed fairy noblewoman, who is being kept as one of many "denizens", living curiousities, in a large house. Each season is a different story, this is Season 2.
★ The Pasithea Powder: (Sci-Fi, Thriller?) The last major interplanetary war was full of atrocities, but none more infamous then the creation of Pasithea Powder, a memory altering drug which was used to horrible effect and landed it's entire team of creators in prison. So when decorated war hero Captain Sophie Green sees one of them wandering free, worlds away from his prison, she gets in touch with a very old, estranged friend: one Dr. Jane Gonzalez, who's behind bars for the very same reason.
Starship Q Star: (Sci-Fi, Comedy) The small crew of a tone-deaf space agency's attempt at a PR mission wake up at Mars to discover that they - and the one botanist abandoned on Mars base - are now the last surviving members of humanity. Co-captains and ex-girlfriends Aurelia and Sim must now dedicate themselves to protecting their crew and finding a new home, but they're rarely on the same page about how best to do it.
★ The Strange Case of Starship Iris: (Sci-Fi) When the shuttle carrying the crew of scientific research ship Iris explodes, Violet Liu finds herself stranded in space, the last survivor with no way out. Until her emergency broadcast is picked up by a passing ship. But the crew aren't who they seem to be, there's more going on here than anyone knows yet, and Violet must decide who she can really trust.
Unwell: (Supernatural). Lily Harper revisits her supposedly haunted childhood home to help take care of her aging mother. The house is weird, sure, but there's something far stranger haunting the town of Mount Absolm than simply ghosts.
Weaver: (Supernatural, Romance Elements). The musings of the entity within the old house about the girl she fell in love with (the only thing she can remember), and her two new coinhabitants, who do not yet know she exists.

#rb: reblogs
[ ooc info under the cut ⤵️]
hii this is @exalt1ora (maxie) !! this is my hatchetfield oc roleplay blog im very excited about it yippee
WHO IS GEORGIE DAVIDSON?
Georgie Davidson is a 17 year old student at Hatchetfield High School. She lives with her parents, Mr. Ken Davidson and Mrs. Carol Davidson, in a suburb near the outskirts of Witchwood Forest. She’s a music + theater nerd, a stoner, and an avid researcher of urban legends and local history.
———
Her relationships differ based on timelines and circumstance, but there are some through-lines.
- Best friends with Alice Woodward. They met at a CCRP take your kid to work day as elementary schoolers and have been inseparable since. Bill is also like a second father to her.
- Close friends with Ruth Fleming. Georgie started doing school theater very young, and pretty much knew everyone involved. Ruth joined the tech crew in middle school and, being a certified chatterbox, Georgie regularly spent her breaks trying to talk to the new girl. Eventually, she broke her down and they’ve been close since.
- Drifted apart childhood friends with Richie Lipschitz. In middle school, they rode the same bus and both ended up sitting next to each other one day. Georgie struck up a conversation out of boredom and something just stuck. They kept sitting with each other and talking more in school, becoming closer friends. But, Georgie started developing feelings for Richie and she didn’t understand them, so she began to distance herself. Now, they don’t speak at all.
- Family Friends (?) with Paul Matthews. Georgie was babysat by Paul as a child, often alongside Alice, as she’d frequently stay at the Woodward place. She still calls him Uncle Paul, a childhood habit.
- Charlotte Sweetly babysat Georgie once in a while, too. Mr. Davidson asked the employees of the office to look after his daughter as a last resort, and offered to pay as overtime. Charlotte accepted happily, and spent the night braiding Georgie’s hair, making cookies and singing with the girl. They did this regularly, until Mr. Davidson became uncomfortable with Georgie being around her husband, Sam. But, like Paul, she’s still Aunt Charlotte.
- Second-cousins with Zoey & Zach Chambers. They don’t see each other or talk like, ever. But, it makes Georgie feel very starstruck to be related to Hatchetfield’s finest actress.
- Friends with Deb, Trevor, Caitlyn, PJ, Reese, Rose, Ziggs, Sof, and Danny
- Dislikes Max Jägerman, Kyle Clauger, Brad Callahan, Grace Chasity, Brenda, Ted Spankoffski, The Metzgers
anyone not mentioned she has neutral feelings towards and would gladly be their friend <3 (ppl she dislikes feel free to interact still💪)
———

Chuck was injured instead of Herc by achilleees {M}
riding the wave
They say you never really know a guy till you break his face with your fist.
Okay, they don’t really say that, but fuck it all, they should.
build a house on a mountain
In the years following the end of the kaiju war, there is political turmoil and international strife. The world is rebuilt from the ground up, social and economic upheaval disrupting every corner of the globe.
This isn’t that story.
This is the story of Chuck Hansen learning to drive a stick-shift, shotgun a joint, cook Thai food, fix a tractor, and cohabitate with the person he’s too stubborn to admit he’s pretty much in love with.
Fortunately, Raleigh is a patient teacher.
Heartbeat by westofnowhere {T}
Chuck shouldn't be alive, but he is.
Alive thanks to a dead man.
Now Chuck has a lot of shit to sort out. Especially himself. And a certain pretty boy has-been.
This is the way, this is the way we move by JustSomeMusings
Dogs days are over {T}
For this prompt on the pacificrimkinkmeme: I simply adore Max! I get a feel that Max knows how his human feels toward Raleigh but his human is a tad shy so why not Max helps him out?
So basically a 5+2 in which Max is the best dog ever.
It's your finger and how I'm wrapped around it {G}
A 2+1 sequel to Dog Days Are Over about Raleigh trying to propose to Chuck.
It doesn't go that well.
I'd Call That Drift Compatibility by beachpartybb {E}
"When Raleigh gets to the base, Herc is already wounded and can't be the Jaeger pilot anymore. And somehow Raleigh happens to be drift-compatible not with Mako, but with Chuck, so now they are new co-pilots. Chuck is not happy, but only until their first drift..."
Wait for the Sequel by beachpartybb {E}
"Raleigh is a tough book critic who just gave Chuck's latest book five stars. While browsing at a bookshop, Raleigh gets into a verbal altercation with Chuck, not knowing that he's the same person who wrote his new favourite book."
Crocodile Dundee Got Nothing On Hercules Hansen by kaara {T}
Raleigh learnt that Australia (and Australians) is basically a deathtrap.
Dog Parenting by snack_size
Whelping {T}
Chuck lives, and Max gets a girlfriend when a lady bulldog arrives at the Shatterdome.
Herc gets some granddogs, and Chuck doesn't realize he's been dating Raleigh for awhile.
Training {M}
The further adventures of Max's four puppies and the humans that they hang out with.
Our lives are not a linear path by Puppet_in_the_Corner {T}
At 25 years old, Yancy Becket dies reaching out, leaving behind a younger brother with his soul torn in half, and an unborn child who will never know his father.
At 22 years old, Raleigh Becket finds himself newly discharged with a busted arm, a neat little description of PTSD and various other disorders he's probably been diagnosed with on his file, and a two month old baby. He's also well and truly at the end of his rope, his life dented by the impressions of those no longer there.
Or
How Raleigh Becket desperately tries to keep his head above water in a roiling sea of sorrow and depression threatening to drown him, and the only thing keeping him afloat is the little boy with Yancy's face who calls him "daddy".
Comfort by resonae {T}
The five times Chuck wore Raleigh's clothes, and the one time Raleigh caught him.
Sunburst by snack_size {E}
Yancy lives through the Knifehead attack, and the Becket Brothers recover to fight on in Gipsy Danger - though not without consequences. When the Jaeger program is decommissioned, they're packed off to Hong Kong with everyone else.
Mako restores a different Jaeger, and Operation Pitfall is much more of a success.
Cancelling the apocalypse doesn't mean that things are over, though.
Start As You Mean To Go On by Brenda {E}
This was completely absurd, but somehow, this was his life now. Giving dancing lessons to the savior of the fucking world at a party being thrown in their honor, with what felt like half of Hong Kong in attendance.
The Matchmaker by krwaken {M}
Herc isn't an idiot. He can see the way Raleigh and Chuck yearn for a fight just so they have an excuse to talk to each other. He becomes a sort of matchmaker to bring the two idiots together.
Sic Him, Boy! by nhixxie {E}
Raleigh’s pretty sure Chuck is trying to sic his bulldog onto him, and really--Raleigh thinks as the dog curls at his feet and cuddles against his boots--Chuck should have realized the plan is flawed at the very foundation.
I Don't Mind Your Odd Behaviour by Vacilando {G}
So basically; Max the bulldog was pulling a tiny red wagon filled with flower crowns upon flower crowns around the Shatterdome with a note tied to his collar that simply said “Take One”.
And Raleigh was -for the lack of better term- stalking the bulldog.
or
The One Where Raleigh Becket Spent His Thursday Creeping On A Bulldog With A Wagon (and there are feelings and flowers and people will puke rainbows)
Interpretation is Key by Aupaiste {G}
"...a Chuck lives AU where Chuck wants a relationship with Raleigh, who is pretty much oblivious. Herc notices, and because he knows Chuck is clueless at wooing anyone, decides to give him some advice.
Except Chuck, being Chuck, manages to mess it all up."
You are safe by resonae {G}
There is nothing else Herc loves more than his son. Herc knows this for a fact. Raleigh/Chuck is more of a background relationship, kind of more focuses on Herc and Chuck's father-son dynamic
Pretend Boyfriends by fadedink {T}
Everyone thinks that Raleigh and Chuck are together. They're not. But that doesn't stop them from having fun with the idea.
Give me a chance to catch my breath [so I can lay my ghosts to rest] by Puppet_in_the_Corner {T}
Chuck doesn't know where he stands with Raleigh Becket. They're certainly on better terms than before, but they're not friends. But they can talk now without getting into a fist fight, so that's an improvement, he thinks.
And if his heart jumps (it does not flutter, he’s not 15 years old again) every time Raleigh smiles at him, or how once in a while during lunch or dinner Raleigh’s hand will find his own and Chuck responds with a firm grip, well, he doesn’t have much to say there.
Well, he would, if these fucking ghosts would leave him the hell alone.
Or
That time Chuck Hansen was haunted by Raleigh Becket's annoying siblings.
Metatheria by Macx
Shifting Perspective {E}
Operation Pitfall was a success. The Breach had been closed. There had been losses, but there had also been survivors. Like Chuck Hansen, who had been found in an escape pod, seriously and rather badly injured, but alive. His recovery opens Raleigh's eyes to something he hadn't known about the other pilot, that only a select few actually do.
He finds himself stunned and slightly awed, and very much drawn to the other man... even in the shape he is in.
And maybe, just maybe, he can get away with calling Chuck Hansen an adorable fuzz face in the future, too....
Gridlocked {M}
It was an accident. Really. A complete and utter accident. That the accident resulted in Chuck being forced to Shift, well, who knew? Certainly not Dr. Newton Geiszler, who had no idea that distilled Kaiju Blue would do that to a Shifter when liberally doused in it. No one can explain how it happened. Just like no one can explain why Chuck is stuck and can't Shift back. Or if they can get him unstuck... Well, crap.
I Would Walk 500 Miles by themonsterswin {T}
Chuck's an Engineering student who lives in Sydney, Australia; Raleigh works construction in Anchorage with his brother Yancy. The two met a long time ago, in an online gaming community, where raleigh_danger and strikerhansen hit it off. They've been friends ever since, though they only started skyping a few years ago. This collection of drabbles follows them from friends to something a little more!
Sweater Thieves are the Best Thieves by alphaenterprise {G}
Raleigh knits Chuck a god-awful sweater.
crashing the net by achilleees {M}
Recently locked down to a five-year contract, Chuck Hansen is just getting comfortable as the superstar captain of an elite hockey team. Only, that's when the team's general manager trades for the incredibly talented but inconsistent goalie Raleigh Becket, who appears to have no ambition whatsoever. And Chuck’s pretty driven, to put it nicely. Clearly they have some stuff to teach each other - and quick, because the Stanley Cup playoffs are just about to start.
This Is How It's Going To Be by theloverneverleaves {T}
The thing about meeting your idols is that they don't always quite measure up to what you expected. And then sometimes, they're everything you imagined and more.
Chuck Hansen will never admit Raleigh Becket was his hero, but the poster rolled up in his drawer says otherwise.
Big Damn Heroes by snack_size {M}
Stacker Pentecost, Captain of the Firefly Class vessel Striker Eureka, has a good crew that's willing to take on just about any job, so long as you can pay. Things have been going pretty well lately, so it would figure that life is about to get more complicated when they pick up two travelers and soon find themselves stuck as go-betweens for Weis and the Kaidanovskys, struggling to keep the Alliance off their back, and hoping not to get on the radar of Hannibal Chau and his crime syndicate.
The Most Dangerous of Animals, Beast Born of the Heart by Wolfarella {E}
Raleigh Becket is a gladiator who's fought for the house of Hercules Hansen for some time, and after he becomes Champion, his lanista’s son, Chuck, suddenly takes an avid interest in him that very quickly turns into something more.
You should stay another night with me by Puppet_in_the_Corner {M}
Chuck had thought he’d gotten over this crush years ago, but he hadn't thought that picking up a guy in a bar that his foggy, drunken brain identified as kind of looks like Raleigh Becket on his 21st birthday would backfire so spectacularly on him.
Not until after Operation Pitfall, when a woman looking for Raleigh Becket shows up with a 2 month old baby.
Oops.
Ghost in the Machine by fadedink {T}
Chuck Hansen's first Drift is a disaster. But what Tendo discovers several days later shocks the entire Shatterdome. Soon enough, they discover that you don't necessarily need a body to co-pilot a Jaeger.
In Which Chuck Hansen Really, Really Hates Photographers by intrikeyt {T}
“Well?” Raleigh asks with a smirk. “What do you say, you little brat? Wanna get hitched?”
“You’re not gonna get down on one knee, old man?” Chuck snipes back, because this is how they always will be. The kind of madly in love that means endless bickering, trading barbs and witty rejoinders, tenderness and affection reserved for the quiet, private moments, shared only with each other (and Mako and Herc, because their jobs are twisted like that).
Pining is for Poets by Ishyko {M}
He’d never realized Chuck had dimples.
Chuck had dimples and they made him breathtaking.
Raleigh wanted to cry at the unfairness of it all.
Chuck's Body by intrikeyt {T}
Five different Rangers of the PPDC who saved Chuck Hansen from becoming a virgin sacrifice, and the one Ranger who decided to do something about it.
Bring the Rain by Macx {M}
Chuck Hansen; arrogant, smart-ass, an egotistical jerk with a ton of issues. Chuck Hansen; son of Herc Hansen. A Shifter like his father. Strong like his father. Just not an alpha. And not a wolf. Well, not completely. Not on the outside. Chuck Hansen; koala Shifter. With a wolf inside, and a temper and the claws to prove it. A Crossbreed. Raleigh didn't really know what hit him the first time they came together, before Operation Pitfall, but he knew he didn't want to let go of it.
I Need You So Much Closer by captainboomeraangs {T}
Five times people thought Raleigh and Yancy were fucking, plus one time Yancy and Raleigh can't believe people really think that.
Nothing But The Rain by theloverneverleaves {T}
Chuck Hansen has always hated the Kaiju, along with everything they stand for. It's just a fact of life. And with the end of the world approaching, he can't help but hate them just a little bit more. But when Raleigh Becket returns to the PPDC, he ends up bringing along more than just his piloting skills.
The end of the world is coming, but when the world discovers the Kaiju can look human too, they realise there's more to the alien invaders than meets the eye.
The Kaiju Underground by GutterBall
A Life Less Ordinary {M}
Long story short, Raleigh takes Chuck hostage with a candybar, and then a gritty (slashy) reboot of the movie kind of happens. This is what might have happened if the boys had met without knowing who the other was first.
All the Bastards Here Are Cold {T}
After the events of A Life Less Ordinary, Raleigh eventually has to stop and take a moment to determine how he's dealing with everything that happened. The short answer is: not. At all. He's only done what he's done since the Gipsy Danger disaster, which is barely maintain.
So what does he do now that he has a future and someone who clearly wants to share it with him? That's right. Freak right the hell out.
For the First Time by suyari {T}
Chuck Hansen is a 1st grade teacher at a private academy. He knows teachers aren't supposed to have favorites, but he absolutely adores his bright young student Jamie Becket. The kid's father however...is another matter entirely.
or
The one in which Raleigh is a single parent, Yancy is a doting uncle, and Chuck falls head over heels for an awesome kid before even giving his dad a second glance.
I'll Give you Fucking Romance by happyinthesilence {M}
Raleigh has been out of town and Chuck just wants to welcome him home. Contrary to what everyone thinks he is capable of romance. He is Dammit!
Where My Demons Hide by Wyndewalker {E}
When Yancy Becket died still connected to Raleigh in the Drift, Raleigh lost everything, including part of his soul. Unable to deal with the reminders and accusations that he'd killed his Alpha Guardian brother Raleigh fled the Anchorage Shatterdome.
Five years later Raleigh Becket is living a half-life waiting for the wrong move to send him plummeting to his death on the Wall. Then Marshal Pentecost, his former commanding officer, tracks him down for one final mission against the alien Kaiju. Raleigh decides the conn-pod of a Jaeger is as good a place to die as any.
He never expected to care again. He certainly didn't expect to find his Alpha.
Love Angle by Amethystina {T}
Chuck honestly had no idea how easy it is to fall in love with one of your neighbours until it's already happening. Raleigh from flat 314 is far too kind, far too genuine, and far too attractive for his own good, and Chuck can't help being drawn to him. He can't help falling in love.
Which doesn't seem like that big of a deal, until Raleigh's girlfriend makes an appearance. Then it becomes a whole different story and Chuck pretends that it doesn't break his heart, one tiny sliver at a time, to watch Raleigh and Mako be happy together. But really, he's not fooling anyone. Chuck's life officially sucks.
Conversing Without Words by BorrowedBlueBox {T}
In which Chuck is emotionally stunted and doesn't know how to tell Raleigh how he feels, because he doesn't hate Raleigh at all. Also, Chuck's totally not a school girl with a crush, except he totally is.
Carnival of Rust by Raine_Wynd {E}
Five years ago, Chuck was on the verge of admitting he'd fallen in love, but the man he wanted fell in love with someone else. Now Raleigh's back and determined not to get his heart broken again. Can Chuck convince Raleigh otherwise? Or will the PPDC's new peacetime mission get in the way?
Lips Like Candy by galaxy_parchment {T}
Raleigh has a sweet tooth and Chuck has noticed.
chose not to fall but try again by caelestys {T}
Something smells delicious, and he can’t quite find it in himself to complain about the clanking water pipes and the cold hallways, because someone is inside, cooking real food. No mass produced, gloopy mashed potatoes or powdered eggs—real food, like what they had before the Kaiju Wars.
His feet walk him, almost without thought or permission, into the kitchen.
Raleigh finds Chuck cooking at 2am.
The Lost Proposal by BorrowedBlueBox {M}
Raleigh loses an important document, Yancy sends him to a strange computer repair shop, the ginered hair tech support keeps flirting with Raleigh and the two go on a date.
If it isn't obvious by now, I'm not good with summaries. I promise the story is better.
Dance Lessons by GutterBall
The Mating Dance of the Majestic Hippo {T}
The Proposal AU nobody asked for! For those who haven't seen The Proposal, Raleigh is a mild-mannered, long-suffering assistant to the editor in chief, the uptight control freak Chuck Hansen. When Chuck is set for deportation, he blackmails Raleigh into a fake engagement with the end game of marrying him for the three years required for him to become a citizen. Unfortunately, the U.S. Immigration offices are not impressed, forcing the two into visiting Raleigh's family in Alaska to bolster their claims of genuine love.
The only problem: they kinda despise each other. Which is when all the fun starts.
The Dance Continues {E}
A month after the events of The Mating Dance of the Majestic Hippo, Chuck and Raleigh are still exploring this new relationship. They may be married, but getting together isn't the same as staying together, and they both still have their issues to deal with.
But this is Raleigh's last day as Chuck's assistant, and Chuck's taking it hard. He's trying to hide it because he knows it's selfish, but he can't help how he feels.
Luckily, Raleigh can.
This Ain't Ballroom Dancing {T}
This installment takes place after the events in The Dance Continues, after Raleigh tops Chuck for the first time. Chuck has to think really hard about the implications. Raleigh… well, he's maybe not as supportive as he could be.
He laughs a lot. A LOT.
Dog Sitter by Amethystina {G}
Chuck isn't a very trusting person — especially when it comes to who gets to watch Max. Problem is, Chuck has run out of options for potential dog sitters and Mako assures him that her friend Raleigh is very reliable, so he might just have to trust this guy. Grudgingly.
When Chuck eventually meets Raleigh, well, he is admittedly quite distracted by how handsome he is. It's probably bad manners to want to fuck your dog sitter, right?
Two-Step Foxtrot by GutterBall {T}
Raleigh trips in the mess hall, and Chuck catches him. By sort of dipping him. Everything else springs from that one little accident. It's a complete foxtrot, and I ain't talkin' about the dance step.
And a Dope with a Charlie Brown Tree by GutterBall {T}
During the first December after Pitfall, Raleigh suddenly gets a wild hair up his ass about making Christmas a huge deal. The weirdo starts giving Chuck all sorts of odd presents and setting up situations designed to make Chuck smile.
Chuck... is nonplussed. And grumpy. Shenanigans are afoot.
Christmas is Not Sweater Weather for an Australian by galaxy_parchment {T}
Chuck is introduced to the wonders of ugly Christmas jumpers and needless to say he's not at all thrilled at the idea.
Operation Save Christmas by estei {E}
Chuck is on a mission to save Christmas.
Yeah, it’s weird for him, too. He quickly finds himself out of his depth, so he enlists the help of his father and Mako. Predictably, chaos ensues.
The Great Cookie Caper by estei {T}
Herc is not amused.
Until he is.
Damn those clownshoes.
Turn Around, Bright Eyes by GutterBall {T}
Chuck gets stuck watching over Raleigh as he's coming out of anesthesia. Raleigh says a few things, Chuck doesn't know what to make of them, and the ridiculous pair of clownshoes have no idea what to do about it.
This was intended to be cracky fluff in the same vein as those cell phone videos of the wacky things anesthetized patients say, but these guys make everything so much more complicated. It can never just be easy. Nooooo.
The Little Shatterdome Around the Corner by GutterBall {E}
The "You've Got Mail" AU no one asked for! While Raleigh's working on the Wall, he starts trading emails with a guy he met on a now-defunct academy message board. They tacitly agree to not give away any details of their lives, mostly because… they're both jaeger pilots (one disgraced and one too full of himself for his own good), and they would both be almost universally recognized if they did, which would ruin the whole "secret confidante" thing they have working for them.
Then, Stacker Pentecost starts putting his final plan into motion, and suddenly, the two pen pals are both in Hong Kong. The events of the movie play out as scripted, with one exception: Chuck lives. And he finds out who his pen pal really is.
Now what the hell is he supposed to do?
Old Dog, New Tricks by GutterBall
Baby Steps {G}
When Raleigh nearly dies during Pitfall, Chuck surprises everyone (but Herc) by surviving and, for some reason, biting Raleigh. It turns out, Chuck is also a dog and has been since birth, and now Raleigh is a dog, too. A puppy, actually, because he's new. But hey, he's alive, right?
Even if he needs lessons on the whole "how to dog" thing.
Salty Dog {T}
Someone thought it would be a good idea to puppy-snatch Raleigh and demand money from the PPDC to keep word of a shapeshifting jaeger pilot out of the news. Chuck thinks that might not be the best idea and takes matters into his own hands. Claws. Teeth.
In the Doghouse {M}
After the puppynapping incident, Chuck asks Raleigh to always take Max with him when he wants to go off alone. As a bodyguard, of a sort. Though initially reluctant, Raleigh discovers that Max is the best enforcer ever and starts spending more and more time with the dog.
Chuck... is not pleased.
Don’t Stop Retrievin’ {M}
Chuck's having a hard time knowing what he's about these days. Yeah, he and Raleigh are together, but... what does "together" really mean? He's always telling Raleigh "anything you want", but what does Chuck want? Why does he sometimes just want to look at the pretty bloke?
And what, exactly, is Herc up to?
Puppy Kisses {E}
Chuck rarely stays a dog after Raleigh shifts back, so when he does, Raleigh does his best to enjoy the novelty. For some reason, it makes Chuck a little more frisky than usual, and... yeah. These two clownshoes are finally ready for the next step.
Until Chuck drops something of a bombshell that reminds Raleigh that, while he's the puppy when they're dogs, he really is older and more experienced than Chuck in a lot of ways.
He Followed Me Home. Can I Keep Him? {M}
Follows right after the events of Puppy Kisses. Chuck can't immediately talk about claiming. It's so personal for him, because it's one of the last things he shared with his mother. Plus, there's sex to be had. But he really, really doesn't want Raleigh to question how much Chuck wants to be with him, so... he talks.
They really are getting better at this communication thing. And Herc may never not have heart eyes again.
Lavender's Blue, Dilly Dilly, Lavender's Green by Gothams_Only_Wolf {T}
Raleigh Becket loves to clean, do laundry and... well, sing.
Chuck Hansen is a ruthless CEO who hates people in his sparkling clean flat.
It's when the cleaning service Chuck hires screws up his place that he looks into hiring a new one. LOCCENT Laundry Services and a canceled meeting bring together two lonely souls.
AKA the Maid in Manhattan/Cinderella AU
These Two Clownshoes by GutterBall
These Two Clownshoes {M}
When Chuck comes down with a virulent flu and makes himself impossible, Raleigh offers to step in to give Mako and Herc a breather, even though he's probably as welcome in Chuck's bunk as a new breed of kaiju. Chuck, however, is far more ill than he led everyone to believe, and Raleigh switches over to protective mode with a vengeance.
Recalibration {G}
This is Chuck's point of view of Chapter 10's sleepy cuddles.
The Right Sandalwood {T}
This is Chuck's POV of the lead-up to Raleigh's nightmare and the aftermath.
Happy Fucking Birthday {T}
Chuck suddenly remembers that it's Raleigh's birthday. Worse, it's his first birthday since they've been together, and Chuck feels like an asshole because how the hell could he forget? Christmas preparations for the shatterdome aside, this birthday should've been the first thing on his mind. Luckily, Herc is a strategist, and Chuck gets a lot of help from some familiar faces.
Discount Double-Check by GutterBall {T}
Raleigh's been working out at the Kaidanovskys' gym for years when Chuck moves into the neighborhood and blows in like an arrogant, angry hurricane. Everyone sort of avoids him, so -- for whatever reason -- The Jerk singles Raleigh out to hatch an evil plan to save 20% on his gym membership.
Things go awry.
There Is No Loch Ness Monster in Maine by GutterBall {M}
When Chuck Hansen, paleontologist for a prestigious New York museum, catches his boss in flagrante with his dad, he's quickly shipped off to investigate a spurious report of an animal attack in Maine. There, he meets the snarky county sheriff, Mako Mori, and the "the only words I have are salty" Fish and Game officer, Raleigh Becket. Sarcastic shenanigans ensue, during which there might be a giant murderbeast swimming around some random lake in Maine. And Chuck gets routinely dunked in the lake and pelted with severed heads.
It Ain't Moonlight, But It'll Do by GutterBall {T}
Healing after closing the Breach doesn't mean no one has nightmares anymore. Sometimes, they're bad enough to make another attempt at sleep an awful idea. On those occasions, a former jaeger pilot might take a certain amount of comfort from walking the shatterdome hallways. Another former jaeger pilot might take solace from cooking amazing grilled cheese sandwiches in the harsh fluorescent lighting of the shatterdome kitchens.
At some point, those paths almost have to cross, even if the stubborn jerks go out of their way not to cross paths any other time.
Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me by GutterBall {M}
Herc is desperate. He can understand Chuck not wanting anything to do with him, but the kid has deliberately shoved away everyone who might have gotten close to him and is determinedly alone in the world. So, he decides to talk to his ol' pal, Stacker Pentecost, who happens to run a private therapy center that offers a new, experimental treatment for people in Chuck's position.
Pentecost's star caseworker? Raleigh "call me Cuddles" Becket. As Captain Jack Sparrow would say, complications arose and ensued.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner by GutterBall {E}
Raleigh Becket used to be the up-and-coming chef to beat in the competitive cooking show world. Then, after beating four Iron Chefs in a row, he disappeared, and everyone forgot about him.
Five years and four months later, he signs up for a new cooking show, The Cutting Board, because he and Yancy desperately need the money. The problem? The show's executives think to improve ratings by forcing him to pretend to be the gay ex-lover of current cooking wunderkind, Chuck Hansen, arrogant jerk extraordinaire.
A Very Hansen Christmas by WeekendWriter {T}
If there's one thing Chuck isn't, it's contrary. He's not.
And his family absolutely has something else to say about that.
When Chuck takes to ignoring his newfound blonde friend from medical, Herc enlists Mako's scheming abilities to help get them back together. It takes a bit of mistletoe, some slight of engineering-hand, and one normally-missing Scott Hansen.
Needless to say, it'll take a Christmas Miracle.
Special Delivery by GutterBall {G}
After Pitfall, Raleigh walked out of the shatterdome without so much as a goodbye. Shortly after, though, he started sending letters to Chuck. Nothing too flowery or soul-searchy. Just... letters. Chuck, who's not used to getting mail, isn't quite sure what to make of them.
After eleven months, though, he's pretty sure he likes them.
...Mate by softjohn {G}
Raleigh’s small huff of laughter caught Chuck’s fading attention and he raised his head, eyes heavy, to see Raleigh smirking at him over his shoulder.
‘Never would’ve pegged you for such an aggressive cuddler,’ Raleigh said, clearly amused. Chuck grinned back at him.
‘I’m full of surprises, mate.’
Raleigh’s smirk faded into something softer. ‘Yeah, I noticed.'
Breaking Habits by Klayr_de_Gall {_}
If you need a new PPDC-sweater, you only have to ask.
Chuck Hansen has his own solution for that problem.
Head Over Boots by catwrites {_}
Raleigh and Chuck are having a competition to see who is better at planning dates for the other. Too bad Chuck doesn't actually know about it.
we were a paradise by littletrenchcoatangel {T}
(or: yancy is the ultimate wingman)
"I think you should tell him how you feel," Yancy says.
"Tell him how I feel?" Raleigh echoes. "Tell who?"
Yancy nods at the table a few behind theirs, where Herc and Chuck are arguing over whether it's polite to let the dog eat at the table.
"Herc?" Raleigh asks stupidly. "I don't feel anything for Herc."
Yancy rolls his eyes, saying nothing. God help his moron of a brother.
Breeding Habits of the Stubborn Jaeger Pilot by Reiwyn {E}
OR Hansen’s the Endangered Species.
With a population severely dwindled by the Kaiju war the human race must now resort to drastic measures in order to survive. Hence a new law is decreed, TOPA- The Omega Protection Act. It states all Omega must be mated by their first heat or assigned an Alpha by a outside official. Jaeger pilots are top of this list, viewed as heroes they are in high demand and to land one is like mating to royalty.
That’s all great and dandy for some but with his first heat around the corner Chuck ain’t lettin’ no Alpha knock him up.
Love of your damn life by estei {T}
The Kaiju Insurrection by elrond50 {E}
Kaiju worshipers take an active role in the war and two families find their destinies interwoven.
One Night by Inktvis {M}
Raleigh woke up with a dog standing on his bladder, Chuck Hansen's breath fanning over his collarbone and naked as the day he was born. As far as mornings went it was a lot to take in at once.
Pacific Regency by elrond50 {M}
Lord Charles Hansen's secret got out and changed his life. The Kaiju War changed things for the Becket family. The Rim is a long way from high society.
Bloody Wankers by GutterBall
You Suck {E}
Raleigh doesn't know why Chuck's a vampire. All he knows is that the kid needs to feed.
Unfortunately, the big jerk is picky, and Raleigh's blood apparently isn't quite gourmet. Thus, Chuck is frustratingly invested in Raleigh's health and demands that he improve his diet.
It's a matter of taste.
Eat Me {M}
Chuck didn't ask to be turned into a vampire, but he isn't exactly mad about it, either. Herc keeps him well-fed, and his improved strength, reflexes, and speed are definitely bonuses in his line of work.
Unfortunately, the Double Event forced Chuck to make a decision he'd intended to put off for years, if not forever, when Herc's arm is broken. They might have to drop for Pitfall at any moment, and whilst the marshal offered to pilot with Chuck, there's a simpler solution: turn Herc so he'll be healed and fit for battle.
The only problem: there goes his convenient, voluntary food source.
Enter one ambrosia-smelling Raleigh Becket.
Pain in the Neck {T}
Raleigh and Mako are stuck in the medical bay after Pitfall, recuperating from Gipsy's missing or smashed limbs and under observation from falling through the Throat. Everything seems fine until Herc casually mentions that Chuck would be fussed if Raleigh left and Raleigh suddenly realizes he hasn't so much as glimpsed Chuck since the mission.
Which leaves them both wondering if Chuck has fed since then.
Spoiler alert: he hasn't.
Yancy is so Done! by elrond50 {M}
Yancy loves his little brother, he really does, but there are limits.
Nurse Chuck by Farisya {E}
Chuck Hansen just wants to go home. He hasn't seen his bed in days.
Then his least favorite patient shows up in the ER, again.
His day gets a lot better from there.
Something Real by Raine_Wynd {T}
Post-Pitfall, Chuck almost screws up his shot at dating Raleigh.
until the Drift ends by WinchesterBurger
until the Drift ends {T}
“When they found your escape pod, your suit had already melted into your skin. It took them hours to get it off. You had burns all over your body and they managed to save almost everything, but your leg...”
“How long was I out?”
“Two months.”
He wonders what would've happened if his escape pod had drowned instead.
[Chuck survives the Pitfall, all thanks to Pentecost, but it takes him a long time to readjust. After having accepted that he's going to die, learning how to live again is harder than he expected. And Ghost Drifting with his dead copilot isn't helping.]
ti pa jaz, vsi imamo en obraz {G}
Today’s subject is none other than Chuck Hansen, who is her absolute favourite when it comes to rumours – partly because there’s always been so few of them including him.
And mostly because after Pitfall, the majority of them also involve Ranger Beckett.
or: Chuck and Raleigh's relationship told by very observant outsiders and one Mako Mori.
(afoot and light-hearted) I take to the open road {T}
“I’m happy if you’re happy,” he replies, so very close to Chuck’s face that Chuck can see every little scar left on the man’s skin after years of working at the Wall. His eyes bore into Chuck’s, but they don’t make him uncomfortable. Raleigh never does.
He thinks about it. Wonders, more like.
“I am,” he whispers and, somehow, that’s true. “I’m happy.”
Don't Sweat(er) It by misura {T}
Chuck decides he deserves nice things, and Raleigh's sweaters are very, extremely nice, so.
My Dad the DILF by elrond50 {E}
Chuck ended up finishing high school in San Diego against his will. Everything that happened after he blames on his family.
Let Me Be Your Fixer-Upper by Rexcelsior {M}
“I realise that continuing to station you here would not be productive, not only because of… personal reasons, but also because the Jaegers stationed here do not need any more engineers now that the majority of Gipsy’s engineers have been reassigned.”
He watched as the Marshal made his way to the other side of the room, his steps slow and deliberate in a way that only Stacker Pentecost could manage.
“Instead, should you choose to accept my offer, you will be stationed at the Sydney Shatterdome.”
Sydney? Was there even a Mark-3 stationed there?
“Vulcan Specter?”
The Marshal didn’t respond immediately. “Striker Eureka.”
Or: The AU where Raleigh becomes an engineer/technician for Striker Eureka instead of a Wall construction worker.
The Sound of Your Storm by EvilPeaches {M}
They Drift together twice.
And no. Raleigh doesn’t want to do it a third time.
Compared to Mako’s precise ocean of a mind, Chuck’s is a colossal shitstorm of daddy issues and grandiose views of self-importance. His neural grip is like holding hands with someone who doesn’t know how to let go. It’s way above Raleigh’s pay grade and his ‘has-been ass’ wants no part of it.
The New South Wales Driving Offences and Penalties Register by nerdqueenenterprise {T}
"Son," Herc says, sounding more incredulous than Chuck ever thought he could. "Are you telling me you incurred a fifteen thousand dollar fine because you couldn't wait to get home to shag your boyfriend?"
Completely Incompatible (Except in the Drift) by Hypropheni_a {E}
“Chuck,” Herc said, his tone cutting. “I just got off the phone with Stacker.”
Hope flared to life in his chest for a moment, “About Striker?”
“Yes, he’s found someone.”
A grin found its way onto Chuck’s face, the irritation momentarily pushed aside, “Will we be able to go on active duty again, then?”
Herc winced, hand clenching into a fist at his side. “Son…the Marshal is bringing Raleigh Becket in.”
Or: Herc is injured two months before Mutavore, and Raleigh happens to be his replacement. At least until Gipsy Danger is repaired. The only issue? Chuck Hansen.

Roosmav fic recs vol. 3: POV Outsider, or, "What is with these two?"
This is pretty much what it says on the tin: Roosmav fics written from the point of view of character(s) other than Rooster or Maverick.

implied/mentioned other pairings, 5+1 things, crack treated seriously, fluff
Five times Mav and Bradley shared each other's clothes and one time they wore a matching set.
As told by five of their friends, who are fed up with their sheer dumbassery.
Another really fun and cute fic. I love these idiots in love.
Game On by EmilyNorth

implied/mentioned other pairings, exhibitionism, voyeurism, possibly unrequited love
So the thing was, Rooster had a type. Short, older, well-built men with pretty faces, dark hair, and green eyes. Three of those traits in one package was all it took to get him scurrying off his perch and diving in for the kill. Four or five, and he became a completely different person—fierce and focused like Hangman had never seen. And if a guy happened to check every box? Wow. Just wow.
Because really, the thing was—Hangman had a type, too. And it happened to coincide with Rooster’s. (Well, at first it just intersected with Rooster’s—he liked older men, liked dark hair and light eyes, was less picky about height and build—but now it coincides. You bet your ass it does now.)
Instant classic tbh. This isn't really Roosmav - it's more like pre-slash (or possibly unrequited love), but this fic has earned its place as a Roosmav fandom favorite. The tension in this is just delightful.
What is it with those two? by finistra
1.5k, E, no archive warnings apply
voyeurism, bottom Mav
For a kinkmeme prompt: Rooster and Hangman share a bedroom and one night while Hangman is already sleeping, Rooster brings Maverick in and fucks him in his twin bed.
I love this fic, there's just something about this scenario that's super hot to me. (And apparently to Jake as well!)
But I Won't Call You On It by LeoHunt
7k, E, no archive warnings apply
secret relationship, voyeurism, pseudo-incest, daddy kink, bottom Mav
"He felt turned on by this in the way people got turned on by pseudo-incest porn. It wasn’t personal enough to get grossed out and close the tab, but still fucked up enough to satisfy that hunger and add just enough immorality to spice things up without making him grimace —unless he thought too hard about it."
(Or Hangman gets more than he bargained for.)
Jake tries to figure out what's going on between Rooster and Maverick. This was also a really fun (and hot) fic to read, and I loved Jake's POV.
#roosmav#top gun maverick#fic rec#i already loved this trope before getting into this fandom#and it just works so well for roosmav!!#please let me know if i missed any#rsmv recs

Thank you for the tag, @greyhavenisback! xoxo
Getting to Know You
Three ships: Only three?! I have an armada. :D
Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (MCU and comics)
Lan Mandragoran/Moiraine Damodred (The Wheel of Time)
I watched the show's first season in July and fell ass over teakettle for them. The show made me ship it; I've only read a little of the first book in Robert Jordan's series. I know, I know, they're supposed to be platonic, and I respect anyone who only sees them in that light. Sue me for being a contrarian shipper.
Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth (Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire)
The show ultimately did them dirty, but until then, they were perfection. "It's yours. It will always be yours." *sigh* Kill me now. I ship them in the books, too, but I haven't read all of them—yet.
Liam Dunbar/Theo Raeken (Teen Wolf)
Bill Tench/Holden Ford (Mindhunter)
They were super messy and compelling and I will forever be bitter they canceled Mindhunter.
First ship: Hm. I'm not sure, but I think the first ship I wrote fic for was either Jason Morgan/Brenda Barrett (General Hospital) or Jason Morgan/Elizabeth Webber (General Hospital). The first ship I shipped was either Jo/Teddy (Little Women by Louisa May Alcott) or Anne Shirley/Gilbert Blythe (Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery). ;)
Last Song: Lover, Don't Leave by Citizen Shade
Last Movie: Red, White & Royal Blue
It was okay, but even though I started but didn't finish the book a while ago, I still think I preferred the book.
Currently Reading: I finished They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies That Raised Us by Prachi Gupta a few days ago and am still recovering. I don't usually listen to audiobooks, but I decided to check one out from our library using Libby, and am currently listening to Educated by Tara Westover while I do other things. And I'm reading The Phantom Twin by Lisa Brown.
Currently Watching: DH and I are slowly and occasionally watching Better Call Saul. We watched Breaking Bad years ago but never got around to trying BCS until recently. DH, my kids, and I are slowly and occasionally watching Abbott Elementary. I've seen it all already; the rest of my family only recently discovered its greatness. ;)
While doing cardio at the gym, I recently finished watching Good Omens and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. Good Omens is a fun romp. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, a Korean drama, is funny, sweet, and chock full of small-town, found-family vibes. Not sure what I'll watch next. Does anyone have any recs for me?
Last Thing I Wrote: The last thing I wrote is a Steve Rogers/Tony Stark fic that I posted on AO3 in June.
I'm really fortunate, and I have a great life, but it's also really stressful; I haven't figured out yet how to manage the stress so I can be creative more consistently. So while I'd love to write more and write more often, I don't know how—at least not yet. But it's October now, which also means it's Flufftober. I might try to fill some Flufftober prompts.
Tagging: I always worry about unintentionally excluding people or pressuring them with these tag games, so please consider this an open tag. If you see this and want to do it, go ahead—and @ me so I can see your answers. :)

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 🤍
ooooo okay let's see. i'm gonna go with fics i've written that i love and that i think are underrated
all they keep asking me (is if i'm gonna be your bride) - the maze runner, G, 1k
a crack-treated-seriously fic in which the glade throws a wedding for their cook and the new frying pan he's decided he's devoted to, leading to the birth of a new name
it'll only be a moment (or a couple years) - the maze runner, T, newt/thomas, brenda/gally, 6k
a fic in which the gang find themselves in the beginning of a sci-fi horror movie, say no thanks, and literally throw the problem out of the door instead
i tried to kill dean winchester and all i got was this lousy t-shirt - supernatural, T, claire & jack & emma, 17k
claire and jack get sent back in time to the events of 7x13 and decide to save emma's life. featuring claire character study, detailed time travel paradox considerations, background dean/cas, and claire being briefly forced to interact with s7 dean and not being happy about it. also they/them jack
no such thing as a unique experience - supernatural, T, claire & zoey (the little girl lilith possesses in 3x16), 11k
claire, who was possessed by an angel as a kid and had her life and family destroyed as a result, meets zoey, who was possessed by a demon as a kid and had her life and family destroyed as a result. they talk.
3am - death note, T, L/light, 34k
thee ace light fic!!! through a series of late night discussions/breakdowns, light and L are able to establish two things about light: that he's asexual, and that he absolutely was the first kira even if he cant remember it anymore. features two endings, the happy one where they manage to prevent kira's return, and the canon compliant one where they don't >:)

IF recs for a friend!!
(all of these should be playable in browser on desktop we can get into interpreters and stuff later lol. also all these are ifdb links which is a great site in general with tags and user lists for finding more stuff!)
Lime Ergot by Caleb Wilson (as Rust Blight)
intensely terrorpilled you'll see what i mean... poetic, short, very lightly puzzly, a personal fav
Violet by Jeremy Freese
ok my personal pref is puzzly and this one is def on the harder (and longer!) end but tbh even spending just 10 min not getting anywhere on the puzzles is such a charming experience & expands the mind abt the possibilities of parser npcs and iirc it has a pretty good hinting system
Galatea by Emily Short
ohohoho SPEAKING of "rly impressively expansive parser character study of one npc" here is Thee entry in that category. emily short is one of the giants of cyoa/IF in general and she's done both twine and trad parser stuff AS WELL AS some rly cool other tabletop stuff aaaand writing for loml fallen london so like. if u like this there is mooore (she also did bronze which is specifically designed for beginners but personally i found it a little fiddly! may 100% have been a han skill issue though idk haha)
Eat Me by Chandler Groover
and speaking of shorter terrorcore personal favorites by big name IF authors and delightful IF trope "explore the castle"
The Dreamhold by Andrew Plotkin
plotkin is another IF big name and this was designed as an intro IF, i do just really like it because i love wizards though.
my father's long, long legs by michael lutz
economical and delicious twine creepypasta that does a nice job of showing off the system's features anyone??
With Those We Love Alive by Porpentine and Brenda Neotenomie
long and kind of intentionally monotonous but intensely lovely, high-concept, shows off a lot of fun things you can do with twine like cycling links. porpentine is also a v influential twine writer with lots of cool stuff!! (not germane to This but i do like foldscape)
ok that's probably way more than necessary for now... i love you interactive fiction :3 will update when i get around to my Now That's What I Call Wordplay: Good Fuck I Love Word Puzzle IF list

Do you have anything that you like to read in the free time? Have anything great or fun or enjoyable that you willing to share? (I'm just running around and asking my fav authors for book or fanfic recommendations now. Also thanks for being awesome!
Hi! Sorry for sitting on this for a few days. I've just been a bit embarrassed to admit I don't read much lately ;; I've had a hard time actually reading books since I got depression in college for some reason, and I haven't made it through most of the audiobooks I've checked out lately... but! I usually listen to memoirs? My favorite that I've listened to semi-recently is Water, Wood, and Wild Things by Hannah Kirshner, which is by a woman who travels to rural Japan semi-frequently and writes about her experience working with different artisans there. I also got about halfway through James Acaster's Guide to Quitting Social Media, which as far as I could tell while listening seemed like it could best be classified as a fictional memoir? Even though I didn't finish it, I liked what I got through :)
I also like books about writing, and my favorite one of those is If You Want to Write by Brenda Ueland (though, fair warning, it was written in the 1930s and uses some words typical to the time period that would not fly so well today, even though the author seems relatively progressive for the era). It's a short read/listen (only an hour and a half) and is more emotional than technical in its advice, so I like relistening a couple times a year. A longer one that I also enjoyed was Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott.
Neil Gaiman and Ursula Le Guin are on my to read list for when I have the mental space for fiction again, and if you check my #fic recs tag, I've recommended a few stories over the years. Hope that helps! Ha ha, and thank you! <3
