Summary
Peter is fine, anyways. His boss might fire him soon, the Avengers might arrest him soon, the principal might expel him soon, but none of it has happened yet. And his dad—
“You didn’t get my coffee,” his dad says, halfway through his burrito. He has been in a state of low, simmering irritation all evening, and apparently this is how long it took for him to find a reason to blame Peter for it.
“You didn’t tell me to get coffee.”
“Do you have eyes?”
“Yes,” Peter says. “I have eyes.”
“So you could have checked if we needed coffee without me telling you every little thing, Jesus Christ.”

Peter just wants to make it to sixteen so he can escape this life and strike out on his own. He has a plan and nothing will ruin it.
Not even Tony Stark quite literally crashing into his life.- Language:

Weird AU because Peter is an unreliable narrator. Well-constructed, with lots of Chekhov's guns sneakily introduced, and fired by the end.

Summary
“Listen,” Pepper says. “I’m at the food bank right now and Ms. Zavala from R&D called in sick. She has two students coming in this morning to be interviewed for the internship, 9 AM. I won’t be back in time, so if you could just talk to them, or at least start with the first one, until I get back.”
Tony processes all that a moment.
“Tony?” she asks.
“You’re at the food bank? How much do I pay you?”
She gives another little huff. “Charity, Tony. Did any of the actually important things I just said register in your brain?”
“Oh, all right. Consider it my charity work for today.”

The Sacrilege! Stories by PlaidAdder
Fandom An Ideal Husband - Wilde, Downton Abbey, Sherlock Holmes & Related Fandoms, Sherlock Holmes (1984 TV), Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
31 Mar 2013
Summary
The first three stories in this series were written in the late 1990s and have been archived since then at Sacrilege!, a Holmes slash archive maintained by Cress/Miss Roylott. "The Adventure of Downton Abbey" was written in March of 2013; it stands alone, but it is also a kind of coda to the earlier three stories, and includes some references to them. Each can be read as a stand-alone story, though there is continuity. Whether you've already read them or are finding them for the first time now, I hope y'all enjoy.

The Best And Wisest Adaptation I Have Ever Known: The Granada Holmes Rewatch by PlaidAdder

Summary
This is a complete collection of episode reviews for the Sherlock Holmes series filmed and broadcast between 1984 and 1995 by Granada Television (now ITV Granada) starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Burke & Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. I re/watched the whole series in the summer of 2017, because the entire world was on fire and I needed a diversion. I have been reading Holmes and Watson as a couple for at least 30 years now, so that perspective informs all of these reviews. There are occasional comparisons to what happened with Sherlock. Also, I usually discuss the canon story on which any given episode was based. As with all the other rewatches posted here, I am critical, but always from a place of love.
All of these reviews were first posted to tumblr and will be cross-posted more or less intact. There may have to be slight adjustments made depending on whether AO3 treats the GIFs properly. Enjoy them again, or for the first time!

Star Trek Revisited: Rewatching TOS in the 21st Century by PlaidAdder
Fandoms: Star Trek: The Original Series
28 Jun 2013

Summary
A complete series of episode reviews written after re-watching all three seasons of Star Trek (the original series) between 2011-2013. Each review consists of a plot synopsis (rendered as entertaining as possible) followed by analysis/reflection. These reviews were originally posted on LiveJournal. I am crossposting them here, where it is much easier to keep the whole series in one place.
I first became a fan of TOS in the 1980s when I was an adolescent girl. I am now a middle-aged lesbian who, let's say, knows a lot more about gender issues than I did back then. There will be some discussion of same. If you're not interested in gender politics, you might not have a whole lot of fun with these reviews. If you are, though, you may discover that gender in TOS is actually more complicated--a Vulcan might even call it fascinating--than it might at first appear.
I love the show, but I do not love it uncritically. I believe there is much to be learned by asking the question: Exactly why and how did this particular episode get this bad?
Oh, also, I see slash people. But in TOS, believe me, it's there. And not just because we want it to be there, either. Enjoy!
