I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread, nonnie!
http://archiveofourown.org/works/531565 - Not Exactly a Reassuring Model of Consent [Calico]. My absolute favourite fic in the fandom, hilarious Nathan POV and painfully in character.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/149173 - This Overwhelming Silence [entanglednow]. Nathan manages to call Simon when he wakes up buried alive; starts out like it might be serious and emotional, and quickly degenerates into absurd post-resurrection phone sex.

How are your favourite sports going, nonnies?
Anything weird happening in sports RPF fandoms? Want to discuss your latest Geno Malkin/Alex Ovechkin masterpiece (with Ovie as a bottom for once)? How cute Grigor Dimitrov is in a sombrero? If Michael Sam's going to be drafted, and by which team?

I want Michael Sam to be drafted by anyone except the Cowboys or the Skins, because I want to buy a jersey and wear it, and those are the two non-negotiable teams I won't wear a jersey of.

For the Skins - is it a team thing (like, you're a fan of a rival team) or a 'don't want to give money to sport racist logo and/or Dan Snyder' thing? If the latter, there's some cool locally designed off-brand merch that lets one rock burgundy and gold without giving money to the Skins.

AYRT
The latter. Thanks for the rec - I'll think about it if he's drafted there, but I'm not sure if I could bring myself to do it even then. Not while they still use that name & logo.

Any nonnies replaying the games or playing them for the first time? Stumbled across anything new and interesting? Just feel like chatting about our lord and master Durandal?

I still haven't played the games and I haven't found anything new and interesting recently but I'm always interested in talking about the almightly Durandal.

He makes for such a scintillating topic of conversation!
Personally, I'm really hoping he makes some sort of appearance in Destiny. He could be the Traveler (or involved in its creation), there could be stuff on Mars referencing him and the crash of Traxus IV and MIDA and Strauss, and while as far as I know the currently planned accessible locations in the game are just Earth, Venus, the Moon, Mars, and possibly Europa*, if we get as far out as reclaiming Pluto we might get buzzed by Durandal in the Manus Celer Dei... So many possibilities!
Also, I volunteered to write up a walkthrough for the first two dream levels/"Aie Mak Sicur," so one way or another, I can finally get my theory that the Hangar 96 terminals are from Durandal up on the Marathon's Story page. Even if it's just in the forums. (It's a perfectly valid theory! And there certainly aren't many others about the dream level terminals, at least not in the speculation pages, and I've read practically all of them.)

Stuck in This in Between by calrissian18 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1148568?show_comments=true#comments), a Sterek fic that I read because I love me some feral Derek. It was marked complete but, well... it ends abruptly with like a sentence of resolution that isn't actually an ending and more like the hook you'd leave at the end of a WIP chapter. I took the author's note at the beginning to mean that the writing and plot would be slapdash, not that it would actually be unfinished, sigh.
I thought it was pretty good considering it was written so quickly, and I liked how the author depicted Stiles' fucked up dreams/delusions especially, but it really should have been labeled 1/? and not 1/1.
It also reads pretty dubconny to me but isn't tagged for it and I don't know if it's just me or if the author really should mention it somewhere.

I just read the latest chapter of " White Knights" on AO3. It is XMFC AU , Charles/Erik in a slightly Game of Throne-ish world. It is a WIP updated regurlarly , and I love it so far. Oh , and it is an Alpha/Beta/Omega fic. The world building is great and detailed and I look forward to reading a new chapter soon.

People who call themselves "asexual" because they balk at the thought of having sex with another person, but who have a healthy sex drive and no problems masturbating are just people with issues (self-esteem, intimacy, trust, body image, etc) they don't want to deal with.

This in particular : "he's fairly sure it comes out sounding like the savage war cry of some sort of weasel."
I'm still laughing about it.
