Stranger Things: Roll To Charm Person, by harriet_vane
Feb. 22nd, 2026 09:51runpunkrun posting in fancakeFandom: Stranger Things

Theme: Inept in Love, Pretend Couple, Friends to Lovers, Canon LGBTQ+ Characters
Summary: Will needs a date to his mom's wedding. Mike volunteers.
"I have an idea," says Mike.
Ice cubes form in Will's stomach. "How dangerous is it? Like, should I call Dustin to talk you down, or should I call Nancy to be ready to drive us to the hospital?"
"No," says Mike, "you can't tell anyone or it won't work."
"Or what won't work?" Will asks. It's like picking up a rock you know a spider will be under.
Mike gets up and closes Will's door. Hopper doesn't make them keep it open but sometimes Will does anyway, because every now and then lying around alone with Mike on his bed just makes his chest ache too much. If the door is open he can tell himself You can't do anything right now, someone will see.
Mike leans back against the door. His eyes are lit up with that special maniacal gleam that the Wheelers get right before they do something insane, like when Nancy says, "Then we have to go kill Vecna ourselves," or whatever. "Take me to the wedding," says Mike.
"Yeah," says Will slowly, "you'll be at the wedding. Obviously."
"As your date."
Reccer's Notes: They've fixed Hawkins' Upside Down problem (though this predates the final season), and it's the kids' senior year, and Will is worried his mom is worried about him, so Mike hatches a plan to be Will's (fake) date to Joyce and Hopper's wedding because of course he does. That means we've got Will pretending to pretend he's into Mike and Mike playing gay chicken against himself and...losing? winning? both?? Neither of them is doing a great job (or any job) communicating, but their fake relationship thrives and does what all the best fake relationships do, becomes real. A sweet friends-to-lovers romance with just the right amount of agonizing feelings.

Down With Fossil Fuels
Feb. 21st, 2026 16:05shakalooloo posting in scans_dailyRok of the Reds is a strip written by John Wagner and Alan Grant, and illustrated by Dan Cornwell. Elevator pitch: Doomlord meets Roy of the Rovers, so a powerful alien comes to Earth to judge humanity, and must assume human form to fit in while doing so.
The first two volumes were independently published, with this third and final volume premiering in the Judge Dredd Megazine starting last month.
Previously, hero Rok had been somewhat preoccupied with getting the Reds to the FA Cup final, but now it's time to get down to his duty of saving humanity from itself to save the whole species from being annihilated by an intergalactic court ruling.
For the good of... humanity.

From the ashes of Death Metal, a new Multiverse was forged with new worlds born and reborn... This is one such world. A world where everything we know is turned upside down! Where the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Where Benedict Arnold was a Founding Father of Amerika and tyranny reigns. A world where good does not always triumph in the end.

I said something like, "Oh, he should look a bit like a pulp character because he's not a superhero anymore. He's sort of from before superheroes." But that might have been Alex [Ross] who said that to me, because we were emailing on the same wavelength. He's a really smart guy. He drew this incredible pulp illustration, like Doc Savage or something. And the sketches he did of Sigurd, they belong on these detective novel covers from the 50s and 60s. -- Al Ewing

The Keith Giffen Guy Gardner is an unpredictable sort. He can be creepy or compassionate, stupid or cleverer than you expect, full of righteous fury or full of petty fury, sometimes all in one afternoon. This makes reading about him fun and interesting. But it seems like it’d make dating him exhausting.
( Some people can’t get enough drama in their relationships, but Guy seems like he’d be the cure for that. )
Heated Rivalry: Tuna Melts and Longitudinal Studies by OpalApparition
Feb. 21st, 2026 17:01mific posting in fancakeFandom: Heated Rivalry
Characters/Pairings: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov, Rose Landry, numerous Reddit OCs.
Rating: Teen
Length: 20,175
Content Notes: No AO3 warnings apply. Some of the Reddit comments contain terrible advice!
Creator Links: OpalApparition on AO3
Themes: Inept in love, Canon LGBTQ+ characters, Humor, Unusual format & style, Epistolary, Outsider POV, Angst with a happy ending
Summary: I (26M) want to invite man I sleep with (26M) to my house to spend the weekend. Help me not ruin it.
Or: Ilya Rozanov goes to the internet for dating advice
Reccer's Notes: This is a long (9 chapters) social media epistolary fic based on Reddit, where Ilya asks the internet for advice before the tuna melt hookup. It's funny, very cleverly done, and the responses from Reddit users are often hilarious. We start with Ilya's post (he's orangespyder617 - his sports car name & Boston area code), and later, Shane (gingerale_MTL) also separately posts after he's bolted in panic and is dating Rose, and has realized he's really messed things up. There's some fun for the Reddit users in speculating about who these two rich, inept in love guys might be, and also later after Shane posts as Ilya has wiped his former thread by then but some users remember it and join the dots. Rose herself (kidnapped4times) also posts wanting advice about how to tactfully tell her boyfriend he's gay, and finally Ilya posts again. It reads exactly like Reddit, although I suspect with way fewer trolls, and the users often post memes and links to vids which work, and add to the realism. Throughout, Ilya and Shane amply demonstrate their ineptitude in love, starting with POSTING TO REDDIT ABOUT IT AT ALL! I grinned a lot.

Jessica Jones is finally getting another mature title…
Feb. 20th, 2026 17:24cyberghostface posting in scans_daily… but it’s under the Red Band label which means no digital release. Talk about a monkey’s paw situation. (For me at least; I just prefer digital at this point.)
Still, it’s nice to see Jessica Jones kicking around. Bendis and Gaydos’ original run remains one of my favorites and Jessica was his best original character by far. She had such an interesting personality there that she really hasn’t had under other writers. Hopefully the mature label will bring some of that back.

THE RETURN OF JESSICA JONES! A series of grisly murders in Hell's Kitchen pulls Jessica Jones into a mystery more sinister than she could've ever imagined. As the wife of Mayor Luke Cage, she'll have to tread carefully as she forms a dangerous alliance with Typhoid Mary to track down the killer. But as she delves deeper into Hell's Kitchen's dark underbelly, the evidence she finds presents more questions than answers…

"Luna Snow's been a blast to write ever since she debuted in comics in the War of the Realms: Agents of Atlas book. But this new story is something special – we get to focus on her as the hero and dig deep into what it means to be a pop star and a super hero at a time when fascists and exploiters have very specific uses for pop stars and super heroes." -- Greg Pak

Feb. 18th, 2026 22:07tcampbell1000 posting in scans_daily
Giffen, DeMatteis, Hughes.
This story arc begins with a “heroic” Justice League associate using wealth and power to crush a reporter researching the truth about the team. You probably think I’m talking about Max Lord, right?
( I mean, when Batman or Iron Man want to suppress reporting about themselves, at least they have the decency to sleep with the reporter to create conflict of interest. )
