Making it through with tea, puzzles, puppy cuddles, and gay hockey romance
Dec. 5th, 2025 10:20 pmscintilla10Some things I've been up to:
Also, I got to cuddle an eight-week old puppy recently! What a bundle of wriggly, fluffy mischief.
- Watching Heated Rivalry, and having a complete blast! I enjoy escaping into m/m hockey romance books on occasion, so hearing that one was being adapted made me excited for the show - and it's been SO great so far!
- Holding off on watching Stranger Things Season 5 until I have time to watch properly. I'll probably be diving in this weekend.
- Feeling a bit wiped out at work, and so ready for the stretch of time off I've got over the holidays (soon, SOON).
- Enjoying two different advent calendars: a mini puzzle one we bought several years ago, and a tea one!
- Eagerly anticipating

Rec-Cember: Rec #1
Dec. 2nd, 2025 07:30 pmscintilla10Kicking off rec_cember with a recent femslash fic (written for rarepairexchange 2025) that blew my socks off. (Cross-posting this rec to womansplace who are hosting a reccing event aligned with rec_cember.)

True Detective: Night Country, Liz Danvers/Evangeline Navarro, 3000 words, rated e, no archive warnings apply
Post-canon reunion (or is it?). I loved the lyrical rhythm of the writing, and beautifully vivid descriptions of the landscape. Liz's sharp, cynical narrative voice is excellent, and I loved the thoughtfulness and depth of the characterization and the focus on their spiky, intense relationship. (And hot! It's very sexy, too.)

Liz stops sleeping.
Some nights, she's busy trying to claw her way out from under an avalanche of paperwork. Some nights, she just can't keep her eyes closed. She can put on a sleep mask or bury her face in the pillows, but she's still aware of the light glowing out there, and the absence of anyone warm in the bed next to her.
(Or: six months later, a reunion.)

December Challenge 2025: Lights
Dec. 2nd, 2025 07:27 pmpodfic_bingo_mod posting in podfic_bingo
The theme challenge for this month is Lights (Please include the tag challenge: lights when you post.) Theme challenges have to do with fic choice. Since this month's challenge is 'lights' your story has to be related to that theme one way or another.
The shape challenge is ‘triangle' (tag challenge: triangle ). This should be at minimum 3 squares, ie:
OOOOO
OOXOO
OOOOO
XOOOX
OOOOO
Shape challenges require that you complete a specific shape of squares on your card. If you complete a shape challenge by the deadline, you’ll win a cheat. If your card already has the shape formation before the challenge starts, you can only count that challenge as completed if you fill at least one square on your card within the challenge time period.
You can pick the challenge you prefer or do both if you're feeling ambitious. Once you’ve posted the podfic required to fulfill the monthly challenge, please comment here to let us know you’ve completed the challenge.
If you complete a challenge, you earn a cheat. If none of the challenges appeal to you, you can also earn cheats by commenting on other people's podfics.
What are Cheats?
Cheats are rewards that allow participants to manipulate their cards so that they can be finished more easily. There are 2 kinds of cheats: shifting squares and swapping out squares. Shifting squares allows participants to swap locations of two squares on their card. Swapping out cheats allow you to discard one of your prompts entirely from your card and replace it with a prompt of your choosing from the Prompt List.
