Ahh, love these prompts!!

Did I somehow accidentally stay awake until 3am CET and then decide to watch The Pitt Season 2 Finale even though it is a work night? ...Yes 😅

4am now. Off to sleep. Can't wait to check AO3 in the morning. Gonna dream about Mohabbit, Garsantos, and Kingdon...

It was truly a pleasure helping host this event with @satalxo.bsky.social and @indigofro.bsky.social.
What a great way to keep the excitement and hope alive to #RenewtheAcolyte!

Happy #mohabbotmonday to Kat’s Apollo 13 au that gave me major brain worms 🛰️

let me briefly yeet imposter syndrome into the trash can and mention that if you haven't read say it (if it's worth saving me), you are MISSING OUT.

commenters say "I adored every word," "Love, love, love!", "A+++ Kylo," "It's just perfect," and "it's like a warm hug of a fic🥰"!

Will Mu Qingyan & Cai Zhao be able to overcome the dividing wall built by previous generations? - this seems to be their challenge in a nutshell

She’s signed no contract for her powers, has not bound herself to a devil in eternal servitude, as Halbrand had. No, Galadriel’s magic is a gift from the Valar.

I cannot tell you when it began or when it ended and maybe there is neither an end nor a beginning, but I can tell you what I remember.

With Morgoth’s escape from the Void, after all others have failed, Galadriel is sent to talk some reason into Sauron. It doesn’t quite go as planned.
