Happy new year! If the adage is that you spend today doing what you want to for the rest of the year, then I want to keep reading and reccing some fics I’ve loved in the last little while!

So, here’s a mish-mash of multi-fandoms. As always, you can find my master rec collection here. 

Ghosts (BBC)

And So On and So Forth by V_Evergreen

Dying is, of course, incredibly tragic. It is also the most wonderful opportunity.

Father of the Bride by EllianaDunla

Rachel Fawcett visits Button House to feel closer to her father.

Which happens, just not quite in the way she expects.

Project Chatterbox by SqutternutBosh

‘What’s this?’ Alison asks, looking down at the scrappy piece of note paper that Mike has just put down in front of her.

‘It’s a list of ways I can talk to them,’ Mike says, sitting down beside her at the kitchen table.

Raven Cycle

hold me tight, fear me not by audikatia for Northisnotup

When Adam stepped around, he found himself suddenly in an emerald glen of moss-covered trees. More blue roses scattered over the green ground like raindrops or tears.

And there, in the center, was a man pinned to a tree with an arrow through his heart. :: Tam Lin AU

Someone Worth Knowing by SprigsofViolets

Alex Claremont-Diaz and Adam Parrish meet on their first day at NYU. They do not hit it off—cue the academic rivalry. They hate each other until they learn to understand each other.

(I can’t tell you how many times I’ve re-read this one, esp as it hits two of my fave canons in all the right places)

since you've been home, see what you have become by Mici (noharlembeat)

Adam goes touring colleges, and Ronan comes along. And Opal, well. She stays with Declan.

***Greywaren spoilers for the below fics!***

There's No Place Like My Room by Lil_Redhead

Sometimes endings are endings, but sometimes they’re just middles and the real ending is very, very far away.

Or, the days between the last chapters and the epilogue of Greywaren

(This one is still a WIP with one chapter left to post, but it hits all the right notes of post-Greywaren + plot that I was craving after finishing the book)

god only knows (what i'd be without you) by RhymeReason

[Part of Gansey was starting to accept that two of his best friends were most likely dead.]

Or: gansey finds adam and ronan :)

and on the seventh day he rested by Prevalent_Masters

On the seventh day, the Lynch brothers discovered they were friends once more.

Or, the week following the (near) apocalypse.

Roswell New Mexico

Contigo me encontré by beautifulcheat (Katalyst), ladynox

The Lockhart House was once a home, although it was never a happy one. Steeped in tragedy, it still stands today, in the heart of Old Town Roswell, attracting ghost hunters and those seeking to catch a peak of something from beyond the veil.

Contrary to popular myth, it wasn’t currently haunted (except by one paranormally talented docent). It was Michael’s favorite job and the best part of his summer home from UNM. Or at least was until Alex Manes was hired to man the gift shop, complicating an otherwise fun and easy job.

With Love Overflowing by Nestra

"We both agree that this is not the place we belong, right? Please say yes."

Michael tossed his hat on the coffee table and dropped onto the couch. "If you mean that your dad's been dead since CrashCon and some kind of crazy shit is going on, then yeah, I agree."

(This one was for me for Secret Santa, it is just THAT GOOD that I want everyone in the world to read it)

Severance

r/severed by curtaincall for LearnedFoot

Welcome to r/severed! This is a subreddit to discuss the experience of severance and provide advice and support to fellow severed people (and friends and family).

Top Gun Maverick

we're fools to make war by whimsicule

In a Walmart at three am, between beef jerky and tortilla chips, with the lights flickering above them like it’s the fucking twilight zone, Bradley wants him more than he’s ever wanted anyone.

or: it's a hundred degrees in texas.

what doesn't kill me makes me want you more by ok_thanks

For Rooster to be his ex-boyfriend, that would require him to have been Jake’s boyfriend in the first place. Which he definitely wasn’t. He was – "Ex-something," Jake coughs. or, the intricate ritual of teasing the guy you've been hooking up with since college that you're definitely not in love with

Men Like Us by DancingDisaster

Seresin men love with reckless abandon. It’s put every man before him in the ground.

Jake refuses to be buried.

Global Digital Oilfield Market Size, Status and Forecast 2021-2027

The global digital oil field market, by application, has been segmented into onshore and offshore, with the onshore segment growing at a faster pace. The complexity in deepwater drilling, along with the increasing adoption of digital oilfield techniques in regions such as the Middle East, and North America, where the maximum of the oilfields are located onshore, are expected to drive the onshore segment. Thus, the increasing production activities in these regions and reduction of non-productive time is expected to drive the onshore segment at the highest rate during the forecast period.

The increase in production activities in the Middle East region, the presence of unconventional reserves, and growing investments in offshore in the Asia Pacific region are expected to be the key factors driving the digital oilfield market during the forecast period.

The Doctors of Doom Fan Script, Part 3

INT. SWAMP LAIR - DAY Murky daylight floods through the filthy glass of the mullioned windows, weakly illuminating the laboratory interior. Flanked by his mushroom monster, Dr. Viper stands mixing up some ingredients in an enormous cauldron-like metal beaker whose contents are being heated to a bubbling froth over a bunsen burner. Street paces impatiently behind him. We can see the four converted convicts, including Murdoch, standing off in a corner. The mushroom monster keeps eying them suspiciously, wriggling his tentacles in agitation; he doesn't like them, or Street. Street, for his part, ignores the big mutant. STREET How much longer, Doctor? Viper doesn't reply. He just pours chemicals and adds bits and bobs to the bubbling brew. A dash of this, a dab of that. Finally, he seems satisfied. VIPER There. It'sss ready, my good Dr. Ssstreet. Street comes over and looks in, making as much of a disgusted face as an almost fully transformed Ci-Kat-A is capable of, and then turns and nods to his accomplice, antennae twitching. VIPER Now then. I've done my part. Now it'sss up to you to go and get-- STREET (having heard all this before) Zzzuper-Katalyzzzt Five Zzzixty Zzzix. I know. VIPER I want to sssend-- He turns towards the mushroom monster. STREET (interrupting arrogantly) He won't be nezzezzzary. Viper whirls around. Both his and his mushroom monster's eyes glow with mutual fury, yellow and red in the semi-darkness. VIPER He knowsss the way-- STREET And so will I onzze I bite someone who workzzz there and gain their... "cooperation." Viper twists his mouth into a foul scowl. He isn't liking this rebelliousness from his "partner." STREET Nor do I need him for protection. Or azzzistanzze. (looks at Murdoch and the other prisoners) I have all that I need right here. VIPER (trying to argue) But... Street holds up a hand. STREET Relax, my dear Dr. Viper. My Ci-Kat-A brotherzzz and I have everything under control. He walks down the steps leading out of the lair interior. STREET You'll soon have your precious katalyzzzt. And zzzoon I will have what I want as well. My brotherzzz, to me! The other four converted kats follow him. Once they're gone, Viper goes and opens the window. EXT. SWAMP LAIR - DAY With the mushroom monster looming over his shoulder, Viper watches Street flying off over the desolate, swampy landscrape of the Dead Forest. The four converted prisoners trudge through the water in the same direction. VIPER (under his breath) Jussst don't screw thisss up, you brainless bugsss. Dr. Viper doesssn't look kindly on failure. He shuts the window and he and the monster away, receding into the darkness of the lab interior. EXT. MEGAKAT CITY - DAY An Enforcer chopper flies along. Inside, LIEUTENANT FELINA FERAL is flying. An ENFORCER PILOT is sitting beside her. Riding in back is a rookie Enforcer, CORPORAL GRAY TAYLOR, who can barely contain his excitement. He's dressed in the uniform of an Enforcer commando, but with a necktie added to show that he's a graduate of the Enforcer academy, and he has the visor of his helmet up, allowing us to see his eyes unlike an ordinary commando. TAYLOR Oh, boy, my first mission! FELINA (amused) Calm down, rookie, nothing exciting happening yet. TAYLOR Sorry, ma'am, I mean, sir, I mean... how do you address a female Enforcer officer? ENFORCER PILOT (droll) You say "Lieutenant." TAYLOR (blushing) Sorry, sir. (to Felina) Sorry, Lieutenant... Felina shakes her head and exchanges smirks with her co-pilot. ENFORCER PILOT Not even a week out of the academy and he's already itchin' for action, huh, Lieutenant? FELINA Don't I know it. (over her shoulder) Don't worry, Corporal Taylor. This is Megakat City. The chopper continues to zoom through the city. FELINA (a little darkly) Trust me, you won't lack for excitement here... INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL LABS - HALLWAY Belljar walks off down the hall toward the elevator. BELLJAR I'm going back upstairs to run some more tests before I meet with the Deputy Mayor. And I need to call Dr. Konway over at Enforcer Headquarters. I'll be back shortly. STEVEN Sure thing, Doc. Belljar gets on the elevator. The doors slide shut. Settling back into his chair, Steven does his best to stay awake. He futzes with things on his desk. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL LABS - TOP SECRET LAB We behold another change in the captured Ci-Kat-A's behavior. Their antenna twitch, and they start becoming restless, even though no one is in the room, as though they sense something. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL LABS - HALLWAY Steven sighs tiredly, using one finger to spin his articulated desk lamp around in an effort to entertain himself, which suddenly the duct cover of an air vent flies off and lands on the floor. Suddenly very attentive, the big guard gets up. STEVEN Huh? The converted Murdoch slithers out of the air vent. He's still mostly katlike except his compound eyes. The other three converted convicts follow suit. As Steven goes for his gun, the four hurriedly overwhelm and subdue him. One covers his mouth. Another prevents him from drawing his laser pistol. Emerging from the vent last of all is Dr. Street. He glides down to the floor using his wings and lands in front of the group. He studies the door, eying the keypad. Turning, he grabs the front of Steven's uniform, jerking him out of the cons' grasp. Before the guard can yell for help, Street's mandibles sink into his throat. Releasing Steven, he steps back as the guard collapses, writhing. After a moment, he stops, rising, his eyes green and insectoid, and walks over to the keypad, where he enters his security code. The light turns from red to green and the door opens. The converted convicts enter one by one, Steven following. Murdoch lingers with Street. MURDOCH What about Zzzuper-Katalyzzzt-- STREET (cutting him off angrily) What that zzzmall-minded fool Viper wantzzz can wait. This izzz more important. Come... Murdoch doesn't press the issue any further. They go inside. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL LABS - TOP SECRET LAB Street pushes his way to the front of the small group, and looks around angrily at the imprisoned converted guards. He spreads his arms like a preacher about to give a sermon. STREET My brotherzzz! In a moment you shall be free! And together we shall have our new queen and conquer not only Megakat Zzity... but the world!

EXT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - DAY CALLIE BRIGGS' dark green sedan pulls up to the curb and parks. Opening the gull wing door, the Deputy Mayor gets out. Callie is dressed in her usual attire, but has her jacket off, slung over her shoulder, tie slightly loosened, the top button of her dress shirt undone; concessions to the heat. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - DR. BELLJAR'S OFFICE The lab administrator's office. Spacious but sparsely furnished. Framed diplomas and certificates as well as picturesque paintings adorn the walls. Bookshelves of medical and scientific volumes. There's a painting of Dr. N. Zyme on the far wall lit by track lighting. Dr. Belljar's desk is neat and orderly, with decorative glass awards, an antique graduated cylinder with gold measurement etchings - a graduation present from Dr. Zyme, his mentor - and a few framed family photos, plus the usual telephone, with Belljar is on. It's cordless with a long antenna. Belljar isn't sitting at his desk, though, he's standing over by the window by a big fish tank, sprinkling in some fish food. BELLJAR (on the phone) No, Batch B was a complete failure, too. He sighs, peering into the tank, watching the fish dart around and gobble up the little flakes. BELLJAR I don't know what to tell you, Sam. It just isn't working. He squints. The fish tank abuts the office's only window. He sees a murky, distorted image of Callie Briggs putting her jacket on, and stands, looking over the tank top and out the window unobstructed, watching as Callie shuts her car door, shoulders the burden of her purse, and starts towards the front entrance. Halfway there, she stops and looks up, offering a smile and a wave. He waves back. BELLJAR Listen, Sam, we're gonna have to cut this short. Deputy Mayor Briggs just here. (a pause; we hear Dr. Konway say something) Yeah, my new hydroponics project. I'm really hoping she can get Manx to invest in it. (more of Konway speaking unintelligibly on the other end) Yeah. Right. Thanks a lot, Sam. Bye. He hangs up. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - LOBBY A stone-faced SECURITY GUARD is at the front desk. A little desk fan is blowing over him nonstop. He glances over disinterestedly as Callie comes in. Dr. Belljar rushes in from offscreen to greet her. BELLJAR Ms. Briggs, thank you so much for coming. They shake hands. Although she's got her blazer back on, Callie has elected not to button it, or her shirt, and has left her tie loosened. CALLIE It sure is a scorcher out there today, isn't it, Dr. Belljar. She fans herself. BELLJAR Yes it is, isn't it? Thank goodness for the miracle of air conditioning! They turn and head towards the elevators. CALLIE Sadly, the AC in my car is busted. It was like riding in an oven all the way over here. Belljar presses the "up" button on the elevator. CALLIE (half-jokingly) I don't supposed you can make this presentation a long one, can you, Doctor? The elevator doors glide open and the two get inside, Dr. Belljar chuckling. The doors shut. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - RESEARCH LAB Callie and Belljar enter. BELLJAR I'll do my best to ensure you remain to enjoy our facility's air conditioning for as long as you require, Deputy Mayor. This is the primary research laboratory of the building. Big windows from floor to ceiling letting bright sunshine in. Rows and rows of shelves containing neatly arranged and carefully labelled bubbling flasks and canisters of katalysts. Gently humming electronic machinery, computers and the like. There are a few workstations and desks, although the primary one, Dr. Zyme's (from The Origin of Dr. Viper), appears to have been left unused for quite some time. The chair is pushed in and the entire thing is draped in a shroudlike opaque tarp, giving it an almost funerary appearance. The former administrator's computer, files, books, diplomas and so forth can be seen on the desk underneath the tarp. Callie spares it a sad glance, but then follows Dr. Belljar over to a big presentation table containing an HO scale model of Megakat City. We can see familiar landmarks like City Hall, Enforcer Headquarters and Megakat Biochemical itself. The Megakat Tower and Old Megakat Bridge lay to one side on the corner of the table, intact but pointedly removed; currently, nothing crosses Megakat Bay, represented by clear blue plastic filling an indention in the model city's terrain. Callie smiles at the craftsmanship of the model. BELLJAR Obviously, as the world's population grows larger, katkind needs more and more food. Feeding the world has long been a dream of my predecessor's. (sighs sadly) Unfortunately, his idea to use the Viper Mutagen backfired horribly. Callie lays a sympathetic hand on his arm. CALLIE Believe me, Doctor, I know. I know. (urging him on) So tell me about your ideas. BELLJAR (smiling) My idea, Deputy Mayor, is to create a subsidiary to Megakat Biochemical Labs, Nutronics, which will have state of the art hydroponics facilities here... From a shoebox, he produces a little model of such a facility, and places it on the outskirts of the city, near the salvage yard. BELLJAR ...here... A second model is put on the opposite end of the city, near where the mountain range begins. BELLJAR ...and here. The third and final model goes in the spot where the thrice-destroyed Megakat Tower used to be. Callie nibbles at her lower lip a bit. BELLJAR It won't be cheap, which is why I need you to help me persuade Mayor Manx to give Nutronics his official endorsement. CALLIE I can try, but this one's going to be a tough sell... She points at the one in the Megakat Tower's spot. CALLIE It's sort of, um... BELLJAR (chuckles nervously) Ah, yes. I gather it's something of a sensitive issue with the Mayor. Callie sighs. CALLIE But it's a good idea. And worth a shot. I'll see what I can do. She frowns and looks at her wristwatch. CALLIE I've got another half hour to kill. This didn't take as long as I thought. (frowning and thinking) What about Megakat Biochemical's other ongoing project? Belljar squirms uncomfortably. CALLIE There's five anxious families awaiting answers. They're calling my office night and day. I need to give them something, Doctor, even if it's that you've made no progress at all. BELLJAR I just got done checking the latest results and they aren't encouraging... He trails off. Callie sternly adjusts her purse's shoulder strap. CALLIE Take me there. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - HALLWAY The two get off the elevator and start down the hall. BEL;JAR I just got off the phone with Sam Konway down at Enforcer Headquarters, and he has a few interesting ideas. He's a little more openminded than I am, which is probably why Feral headhunted him to head their biotech division. I can show you what I've managed to get done so far, and then what Konway has in-- He stops short as they 'round the corner. They see the ventilation grate on the floor - and the top secret room's door wide open, various figures filling the doorframe. BELLJAR What in the world? They walk closer, more cautiously, and duck down behind Steven's desk, peering over the top into the room. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - TOP SECRET LAB The five converted MASA guards in their glass-encased cells are jumping up and down excitedly. The bug-eyed Steven goes to each one in turn and enters the security code to open it. The glass doors slide open, and the former MASA security personnel step free to mingle with their new "brothers," making particularly grateful buzzing noises to Dr. Street, who offers soothing pets and strokes. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - HALLWAY Callie and Belljar continue peering over the desk. BELLJAR (whispering) This is bad! CALLIE (also whispering) It's... it's Dr. Street! I thought he was dead! INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - TOP SECRET LAB STREET And now, my brotherzzz, we muzzzt complete our zzzecondary mission for our "friend and benefactor" Dr. Viper... More excited buzzing from the assembled converted kats. Murdoch glances towards the open door. INT. MEGAKAT BIOCHEMICAL - HALLWAY The two onlookers Callie and Belljar duck down behind Steven's desk. But it seems Murdoch has seen them. Or at least he thinks she saw something. Enough to go and investigate. Convicts #2 and #4 accompany him. BELLJAR We'd better alert someone...! CALLIE A good idea! They turn and begin crawling away. She's reaching into her purse for her communicator when suddenly - MURDOCH (from behind them) Aha! Gasping, they turn, rolling over onto their backs, sitting up. Murdoch is standing on the desk, pointing at them as though in accusation. He's flanked on either side by the other two converted prisoners. Behind them, through the open door, Street and the others stop what they're doing and turn, antennae twitching in agitation. MURDOCH Zzzzpiezzz! He hops down from the desk and runs towards them, salivating, arms outstretched like a zombie. Callie swings her purse to hit him, knocking him slightly off balance. Convict #2 rushes forwards. Having seen Callie in action, he grabs her purse and rips it from her grasp, throwing it aside. It smacks into the wall, spilling out its contents, including the SWAT Kat communicator. Jumping up, Callie resorts to fisticuffs, punching the converted prisoner in the face, sending him staggering backward. He falls onto his back and lays spread-eagle on the carpet, shaking his head, dizzy. She then kicks Murdoch in the diaphragm with the tip of her high-heeled shoe, making him double over in agony, ripping her skirt all the way up past her mid-thigh in the process. As he collapses and Convict #4 advances, Dr. Belljar grabs a potted plant and throws it at him. It smashes across his face, and he falls to his knees, clutching his head. Dr. Street emerges from the top secret lab, growling, and with one great sweep of his arm, knocks everything off of Steven's desk, and then, with superhuman strength you wouldn't think his spindly stick insect arms would have, he grabs the desk and lifts the entire thing over his head. STREET (straining under the desk's weight) All thozzze who oppozzzze the rule of the Ci-Kat-A... MUZZZT DIE!!! With a grunt, he hurls the desk TOWARD CAMERA. SMASH CUT TO BLACK END ACT I
