Sticky: Fannish afterlife: Legal and other info
Jan. 4th, 2025 01:50 pmI was talking on Bluesky about how to handle our fannish afterlives. This is a serious matter for some of us who have a big online presence unknown to our families and real life friends. So I've compiled some of the resources/thoughts with good advice from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/77500781
Summary: After Hudson Oaks, Josh comes to stay with Wolf because he’s afraid to leave Wolf alone. He has no idea if they’ll get back what they had. Maybe they won’t. Maybe, instead, they’ll have something new. Title from “Storms” by Fleetwood Mac. It’s the song playing at the end of 2x05.

Length: 4500
Content notes: canonical nonconsensual drugging of a psychiatric patient
ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/76986606
Summary: I got tired of waiting: Josh and the interns break Oliver out of Hudson Oaks. Someone on Discord suggested/requested a laundry cart, and no one was writing it. I am here to serve. Story takes place right after Oliver’s phone call in Lady Liberty, but otherwise adheres to canon through 2x10.

Fic: Let's Not Ruminate on the Pasta
Dec. 2nd, 2025 08:59 amThis fic is therapy for last night's episode, which was terrible in so many ways.
Title: Let's Not Ruminate on the Pasta
Rating: Teen
Pairing: Josh/Oliver
Warnings: None
Summary: Someone wants his dads back together, and he gives them a little nudge in the form of ridiculous socks. Inspired by this wonderfully warm art by Sol. I intended to write a super fluffy fic to go with Sol’s art, but I felt bound by canon, and I had to deal with it, which rendered some of this unfluffy. But it’s still happy, which is the next best thing. I drew some of my own art, too, though it is, haha, less fun than Sol's.

Summary: Josh needs to remove the curse on his life. Oliver knows some witches who can help, but witches can only do so much. The rest is up to Josh and Oliver. A sequel/companion to Maybe Hope Is a Habit You Can Hang Onto, but can probably stand alone.

The shirt project continues!
Oct. 8th, 2025 10:23 amYes, Season 2 of Brilliant Minds has begun, so the shirt project is underway again! Here are the shirts from the first three eps.
The palette is a little darker this season, I think. The costume designers are super intentional with the color choices, and the palette suits the mood of the episodes so far.
( Shirts from 2.01, 2.02, and 2.03 )
ETA: ep 4, so as not to create a new post.

Summary: Elevator 301 at Bronx Gen has carried thousands of people, but it cares about two of them in particular.
Notes: The Dr. Porter mentioned in this story is not the one in Season 2, it's the one whom Oliver replaced, the one who went to work for big pharma.

Fandom: Brilliant Minds
Pairing: Josh/Oliver
Rating: M
Warnings: None
Summary: Dating Josh is one of the more surreal experiences Oliver has had in his life, which is saying something since he’s ingested a significant amount of psychedelics over the years. He’s never dated anyone who would suggest that they go to a haunted house event hosted by a bunch of teenaged witches to raise money for a member of their coven who just had a baby. Set sometime between the end of ep 10 and the first half of ep 11.
Notes:
1. Time is so messed up on this show, the cocoon couldn’t actually be present at the time of year when it appears. But it’s there, so I went with it.
2. Thanks to michi_rambles for fern species suggestions/identification help.
3. Beta by the ever generous spirkme.

Apparently three people liked my story "Vulcan That Was" enough to nominate it for a Philon Award. This story is my least read and least kudo'd Trek fic, and honestly, it has zero chance of winning. But if you feel like upping its chances, you could go vote for it! https://kiscon.org/philon2025.html Be logged in to your fannish email, not your RL one.
Brilliant Minds season 2 starts in a month, and I'm so fucking excited. I will undoubtedly annoy everyone by talking about it even more than I already do. Sorry!
The writer's block continues, but over the last couple of days, I have forced myself to write a bit of Brilliant Minds fic. Oddly, the story is thematically much like the Trek fic I forced myself to write the last time I had writer's block. 😂
