Have yourself a nice (radioactive) weekend reading!
I hope your weekend is smoother than Moiraine’s time in the wasteland, hehe
Little teaser:
Moiraine’s breath hitched and panic surged through her veins, a primal, icy dread rooting her to the spot. Her mind raced, thoughts fragmented by fear. Was this how it would end? Would her journey be over less than an hour into the wasteland?

About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning
If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
Tumblr media
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
Tumblr media
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

Did someone say Fallout x WoT??
(I did, it was me)
After binging Fallout, my brain did its brainrot thing again and now I’m 15k words deep into this very self-indulgent AU.
Summary:
In a world scarred by nuclear fallout, Moiraine emerges from the safety of her vault. Outside, she meets Siuan, a tough scavenger with a mysterious past and a quirky robot companion. The wasteland forces them to cross paths more than once, and soon, a reluctant bond forms.

@ray-green-wicked4good I wrote your drabble request of Moiraine teaching Siuan to dance. it’s a double feature, hope you like it 🥰 let me know if you have an ao3 account and want it gifted to you 🐡💃🏼🐠
I am open to other drabble requests as well!
“Siuan,” Moiraine says again. “Right foot, not left. What’s wrong with you? You did it perfectly on your own. It’s the same steps with a partner.”
“It feels different,” Siuan mutters. “It’s hard to focus when you’re standing so bloody close.”
“There’s a perfectly respectable distance between us. And besides, it’s not as if we’re courting, so it’s acceptable to — Light, are you all right? Should we take a break?”
“I’m fine.” Siuan’s face is flushed. “Let’s try again.”
Moiraine places her hand on Siuan’s waist. It feels natural, safe. Why is her friend acting so strangely? They’re only practicing.
Siuan wouldn’t feel this nervous on a sinking boat in a lake of silverpike. She can hardly breathe with Moiraine’s hands on her, guiding her confidently through the steps. Moiraine smells like roses — stop noticing that — and moves so gracefully.
And her eyes…
She stumbles, trodding on Moiraine’s toes. “Sorry.” Light! Get a grip, you fish-brained fool. Stop mooning after her. Like she said, you aren’t courting. You’re friends, nothing more.
“Are you well?” Moiraine asks again.
“Yes,” Siuan answers through clenched teeth, both elated and humiliated by Moiraine’s concern. “Cairhienin dancing just makes me feel stupid.”
Stupid with love.

Just bonding things…
My beta said Chapter 10 is super sweet and gay™️ and we all know you never question the beta
Little teaser:
“I dreamed,” Siuan answered, a spontaneous smile inadvertently gracing her lips, “and it came true. Sometimes, the world is mistaken in thinking dreams can’t become reality.” Gently, Siuan reached out, her fingertips tracing the contour of Moiraine’s jawline with a tender reverence. Her wife responded by leaning into to the touch, her eyes momentarily falling shut. Then, she grabbed her hand and pressed a kiss onto her palm.

Reblog for a larger sample size!
No "show results", if you're not a fanfic writer just be patient.
I saw a post about an anon saying it was embarrasing to have an ao3 account in your 30s (it's absolutely not), so I want to do a poll and see what the age range actually is.
