"You could be doing so much more with your body," Rat says softly. "When I first received my new form, I could scarcely rest until I had explored the exciting and dangerous and beautiful things it could do!"
"Yeah," Dan says. "You're pretty adventurous, Rat."
Rat giggles. "Bodies and the things they can become are the most wonderful adventure," he says. "Oh! Here." With a too-theatrical flourish, he produces a matte black cassette tape and holds it out to Dan. "Maybe this will help! Practice, you know. Exploring with less pressure."

Summary
After a fateful encounter in the graveyard of Godric's Hollow, Harry Potter and Severus Snape decide to give each other a second chance. Soon, they realize that this is much easier said than done. Or, to put it in the words of our beloved Half-Blood Prince:
Draught of the Half-Blood Blend
- Two hotheaded Half-bloods
- One desperate Pure-blood
- One unbreakable vow
- One dormitory full of teenage boys
- One old wizard with only one master plan
- Three occlumens
- Optional infusions of self-made tea
- Sufficient amounts of suppressed emotionsBlend everything. Do not stir hastily. Keep it stable for at least ten months. Attention, highly volatile! Never store in a cupboard. Be prepared. Always.
Starts in the summer before Harry's sixth year. Compliant with the original storyline, but obviously, details and focus differ quite a lot.
Harry and Snape go on an adventurous journey during which they slowly realize how much they have grown to care for each other and how interwoven their lives are.

Other folks have been writing DE drabbles, so I decided to give it a go!
Chap. 1 - Kim, post-canon, head injuries come with consequences
Chap. 2 - the end of Revachol
Chap. 3 - Kim, in-canon, Harry's ability to easily intimidate shouldn't be enviable (transmasc!Kim AU)
Chap. 4 - Harry, Kim, post-canon, Harry fails at self-help
Chap. 5 - Harry/Kim, post-canon, Harry perks Kim up a bit on the way home from work (NSFW-ish, vaguely)(I do tend to write in fragments and bounce around in time and AUs, so I've also got a masterlist of chronology for all of my DE pieces here.)

He pulls back, thinking Jungkook needs air or space, his last response barely more than a whisper, but Jungkook needs none of those things. Those beautiful dark eyes, framed by fluttering lashes, look endless and hungry. Taehyung breathes in and the action seems to draw Jungkook forward magnetically. There’s no hesitation as Jungkook smooths their lips together and Taehyung responds by pressing in further. Taehyung wants to be closer, until he’s surrounded by Jungkook, wants to filter himself through Jungkook’s granules and come out feeling clean. He wants to rest himself here, let himself be still at last.

It's easy to find the graphs of AO3's overall annual reader traffic per month (as shown in the next work in this series), and work out the weekly ebb and flow of each day in general (again: next work). This tutorial looks at the daily peaks and troughs per half hour of the day and how to work those out for your own fics' reader traffic flow rates, using the author's own results as the test example.
Bonus content: seeing YouTube CTR click through rate data w.r.t. crosslinking fics.

A Practical Guide to Getting Out of the Friend Zone, by Beatrice Adeline Silva by Alms4Oblivion
Fandoms: Warrior Nun (TV)

Summary
Good day, dear readers. I have it on authority of my esteemed editor that sapphics are frequently in love with their friends and find it difficult to get out of the so-called "Friend Zone." She described it as "the most natural thing in the world, and also your responsibility to free us from the torturous shackles of eternal friendship." To that end, I will share with you in these pages my personal experiences with the "Friend Zone," and detail my efforts to extricate myself from said zone during my college years. As those efforts were met with extraordinary success, it is my hope that, by sharing my experiences, I can aid others in broaching the subject of romantic intimacy with those who otherwise would remain trapped in platonic limbo. (Holy shit, I love it when she talks like this. --Ed.) I thus exhort you, my fellow sapphics, not to despair. Follow my example and, I assure you, the fruits of your labor will be sweet indeed. (She is provoking me on purpose, be right back. --Ed.)
Sincerely,
B.A.S.

Summary
Со смертью Цзинь Гуанъяо было высвобождено заклятье огромного разрушения, приведшее к гибели мира. Боги поняли, что им нужно исправить произошедшее, и они остановили линию жизни, они остановили само время. Чтобы спасти будущее и прошлое, им требовалось отправить человека, который находился вне судьбы, назад в прошлое со всей его силой, всеми воспоминаниями и блестящим умом, дабы исправить грехи прошлого и изменить судьбу будущего. Они дали этому человеку третью жизнь, шанс унять его боль и горе, и спасти мир. И хоть он заслуживал покоя, в котором ему так долго отказывали - только он мог сделать то, что требовалось сделать.
Итак, Вэй Усянь отправляется обратно в свою третью жизнь. -

Summary
The only people who can't change are the ones who don't think they can.
I'm gonna keep it a buck with you, I've got no clue where this is going. When I started this, I thought it'd be a funny, little 'oh, hurr durr, I'll just put a quirky little goober in for the MC-'
Things changed.
Things changed hard.I introduce you to whatever this conglomerate of Xanex, coffee, and sleep-deprived words is.
Our Original Character, Yuni Tenju, is the best loanshark in Japan. But everyone has a fatal flaw...but our apathetic protagonist is damn good at hiding hers. So, when this burned-up girl gets invited to the highest-proclaimed hero school in the nation, what does she do?
It's a two-way street.
Agreeing means there's a chance to find hope.
That there's a chance to find something more in her busted life.Declining means the same old, same old.
Waking up, getting dressed, going out, going home, taking a shot of Nyquil, going to sleep, and repeat.Let's say she joins U.A...
What then?Wacky adventures on cloud nine?
Meeting new people?Nah, neither of those.
If she walks down the path of a hero...
Her life will change, for better or worse. -

Once again, everyone in the Batfamily has appalling boundaries and it's probably not going to change, especially overnight. But Tim and Roy are trying.

“You all need so much therapy,” moaned Bernard into his blanket.
“Probably,” conceded Jason. “Dinah’s a shrink, I think. Or counsellor. Something like that. Black Canary. Maybe she could do some sessions.”
“You can’t get therapy from a family friend,” said Bernard in a muffled voice. These people were infuriating. “Maybe she could recommend someone but it’s not appropriate to be treated by someone from your personal life. That’s like going to see a doctor who’s also your friend.”
Jason gave him a blank stare. “What do you mean.”
