Pairings/Characters: Megamind/Roxanne Ritchi, Minion, Metro Man
Rating: M
Length: 168,535 words
Creator Links: impatientseamstress
Theme: Inept in Love
Summary: Roxanne Ritchi just wanted her shoes replaced.
Marrying her Supervillain in a surprise Vegas elopement was not part of the plan. It wasn't part of Megamind's plan either... Unfortunately, all of Metro City is way too excited to finally see them together for them to admit the truth. But they can solve this...somehow
Reccer's Notes: Oh, Megamind and Roxanne were being SO STUPID about each other, in the "I love her/him, but she/he couldn't possibly love me back" way. They managed to argue themselves into getting married, for crying out loud! (Didn't help that EVERYONE IN METRO CITY was shipping them...) There's also some fun worldbuilding done for what a world with superheroes, supervillains, and damsels would look like.

SGA: Do Over by crysothemis
Feb. 27th, 2026 12:37 ammific posting in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
Rating: Explicit
Length: 18,910
Content Notes: No AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: crysothemis on AO3, nny (villainny) on Audiofic Archive
Themes: Inept in love, Friends to lovers, First time, Humor, Pining
Summary: John never sleeps with anyone twice.
Reccer's Notes: Rodney (who's attracted to John) bumps into a few women, and then Ronon, leaving John's quarters. He clumsily asks John about these goings on, and mostly accidentally challenges John to have sex with him (because why not with Rodney if everyone else gets to?). It doesn't go swimmingly so Rodney demands a do-over, then another do-over, and another, because there's always something wrong with their encounters. This is partly as Rodney's bisexual and he mistakenly thinks John must be as well, and Rodney also manufactures "mistakes", until they're both entirely hooked and John's joining in with the pretense enthusiastically. It's hot, funny, and clever - a great read.

Fannish 50 2026 #11: The X-Files
Feb. 25th, 2026 10:15 pmelaynaI watched The X-Files from the beginning, just on the basis that the trailer looked interesting, and enjoyed it very much the first 4-5 seasons. I was reasonably fannish, attending several conventions, but didn't get much into fanfic or interacting on whatever kind of internet forum it would have been then.
Seeing Chris Carter at a convention was one of the things that started burning me out. Because people were asking about the 'conspiracy' episodes and how they tied together, and looking at him, I thought: you don't have an overall plan and you're really entertained that fans are spending so much time believing you do and trying to figure it out.
I could have been completely maligning him, of course, but the more episodes that seemed to tie together but left viewers dangling, the more I burned out. I think I watched an episode of two after David Duchovny left but I didn't warm to the new characters and dropped it.
I watched the first season of the reboot and hated it, though I don't remember much now.
So I'm not looking for more X-Files but I've read that Ryan Coogler is producing the reboot, and okay. For him, I will give it a try. I thought Black Panther was an excellent movie and I trust that Coogler will have an interesting take. Supernatural stories can be fun.

Wednesday Reading Meme
Feb. 25th, 2026 03:02 pmsinealaWhat I Just Finished Reading
Nothing, unless you count rereading Avengers: Endless Wartime for the 616 server book club. Am I counting that? I guess so. Fuck it. It's really bad.
What I'm Reading Now
Comics Wednesday!
( Iron Man #2, Sorcerer Supreme #3, Ultimates #21, Wiccan Witches Road #3 )
What I'm Reading Next
I am hoping at some point to have enough brain energy to make it through a real book. I am also hoping to have enough brain energy to write some kind of update about my brain. Neither of these things have happened yet, but I now have enough energy to occasionally reblog things on Tumblr.

Wednesday Word: Bossage
Feb. 25th, 2026 11:28 amcalzephyr posting in 1word1dayBossage - noun.
From the "there must be a word for that" department comes bossage. This architectural term refers to uncut and unfinished stones that act as placeholders for decorative and practical elements that will be carved later. Did you ever think about how carved decorations were placed on a building? Did they just get stuck on? No, a bossage was used :-)
