Internal Telecommunications by MantisGod

Summary
The colony at Snakemouth was not always what it is now. A scattered group of experiments, bound only by their shared experiences - to a riot, an uprising that broke the Roach control over their prisoners in a single night - to a sealed, dying husk, a hibernation forced from lack of resources. The growth that facilitates a rebellion is not done overnight. The motivation to carry it out is not caused by kindness.
In coordination, communication is key.
Your name is ZBT-162. You recount how the colony became what it is today.

Summary
Snakemouth Den's experiments were always brutal. In some ways, they must be - for to create an immortal life is to accept all of the sacrifices that must come before it. Without the power of the Sapling, true immortality seems out of reach. But inch by inch, bit by bit, they are certain that they are moving closer. That some day, perhaps some day soon, they may grasp life without fear of the grasping claws of death looming ever near.
The Zommoth is not yet what it will be. But for a seed to sprout, it must have time and fuel, and Kjdrira has all the time in the world to grow beyond the cage it was made to fill.

Summary
It's a day like any other.
Your name is Leigh Karpov. You help run a corner store down by the old dock with your father. You have a smile that you're told looks like you're being held at gunpoint, a passion for the strange and macabre, and a bachelor's degree in computer science that you honestly only really got because it was supposed to be lucrative before the dot-com bubble broke and you went back to your family business and playing DOOM on the fancy electric cash register during business hours.
Your parents would call you a layabout. The members of your board game group would call you the most competitive bastard in Montreal. The guy at the bar down the street would call you "that lady who keeps getting drunk and talking about advances in post-mortem pathology". Your friends mostly call you a weirdo.
You have no way of knowing it. But in a few hours, everything will change. -

HOMECOMING (queen) by lizandre
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
18 May 2023

Summary
When Sidon learnt he’s getting married, his first reaction was “oh, okay!” and his second was “Yona is coming back to Hyrule?”.
It never quite occurred to him what a marriage entails, or why they’re doing it.
***
Yona and Sidon are not in love. Neither has ever believed the contrary.

Bookmarker's Notes
Very fun take on Yona - we like how this particular author handles both Sidon and her, and particularly how they conceptualize the... oddness, we suppose, of a species that lives hundreds of years handling century-old events and deaths. It's a short read and a fun one, and one that will probably color how we depict Sidon for a while to come.

Frank's been running the show since day one. Frank's always got something to say! But Susie just looks at him with those flat blue eyes and gives him nothing, and it's driving him absolutely fucking insane. ˚ ༘`✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹

Bookmarker's Notes
VERY solid group dynamics - excellent characterization, very fun take on canon-era Legion in general, and some VERY solid execution of these kids being weird, repressed fucks who are dealing with their current situation in as way that isn't healthy, per se, but you know- what other choice do they have? Every character in this fanfiction is dog shit at communication and it blends out to an EXCELLENT relationship fic.

Summary
The Legion have been fucking around a little too much for the Entity's liking. Playing their own games during Trials and breaking rules has consequences after all, and although the entire Legion will pay, Frank will be left to bear the burden...
~This is incredibly dark and deals with some very heavy subject matter. Please heed the tags~
All fics in this series are unrelated one shots unless otherwise tagged and can be read/skipped in any order

Bookmarker's Notes
HIGHLY recommended. Body horror and torture, woo! Really love the way this author works the inter-Legion dynamics and the way that the Entity inflicts pain in a way targeted towards getting its subjects where it wants them to be. Fucked up! We love it!

Summary
When a mishap during a routine day in the realm leaves Quentin injured and separated from the other survivors, he ends up trapped in Ormond in bad shape, and Joey finds him.
A simple choice snowballs slowly into a situation demanding a heavy price, and leaves them trying to outrun something that can't be stopped or escaped. Or can it?

Bookmarker's Notes
VERY fun work! VERY fun take on the Legion, and excellent characterization all around. Deeply enjoy the way the author works with The Entity, particularly with both Survivor and Killer dynamics - excellent work on a being that feeds on fear! Paired with a gift for dialogue, this makes for a VERY fun fic that we dearly hope gets continued. Bookmarked starting chapter 12.

Earth's #1 Xenobiologist (Rocky wears the strap) by beakus-freakus (Trixree)

Summary
If this record is a confession, let it be a complete one: the human-thinking-machine Rocky was gifted has everything on it. With the aid of the device Rocky had made back aboard the Mary that translates light on Grace’s human-visual displays to texture on Rocky’s Eridian-sonar display, accessing all of humanity’s combined wisdom is as easy as making a database query.
Rocky consumes approximately 1,600 Earth-hours of human pornography before the ship’s engines cease to function, leaving it dead and stranded in space. Again.

GOD. Really funny. Huge fan of this dynamic. The internal monologue for Rocky is INCREDIBLE. Gotta love the extraterrestrial freaks of the world. Excellent dynamic, highly looking forward to how it goes.
