SGA: Can't Pretend by randommindtime
Jun. 5th, 2026 04:58 pmmific posting in fancakeFandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Ronon Dex, Elizabeth Weir, Carson Beckett, Miller, et al
Rating: Gen
Length: 00:03:45
Content Notes: no AO3-type warnings. Rapid cuts, flashing lights esp. at 3 min mark, canon-typical violence.
Creator Links: randommindtime on YouTube, and on AO3. The song's by Tom Odell.
Themes: Just like canon, Action/adventure, Families of choice, Friendship, Teams
Summary: "I guess that's love. I can't pretend. I can't pretend."
Reccer's Notes: This is one of the best of randommindtimes' fanvids, and it's about the intense connection between John and Rodney in canon, through all their dramas, losses and vicissitudes. It doesn't matter if they're very close friends, or lovers - the intensity's the same and both are natural extensions of canon. It's a powerful distillation of the show - one of my favourites, and very much worth watching.

--I have become obsessed with the Cinnamon Toast Crunch ad campaign involving cereal-on-cereal murder and cannibalism. Whatever the fuck they were thinking when they created this, the execution is magnificent.
--Based on a recent conversation with a friend, I'm deeply relieved not to be the only person I know to have believed for a brief period of time that ( Taskmaster spoiler for last week )
--Some of you may know my hatred of the word 'journey' in its fashionably new metaphorical sense, as in 'your mental health journey' or 'your fitness journey,' but this week in a zoom meeting I was subjected to the sentence 'I'm hoping you can tell me a bit about where you as a company are in your AI journey' and I had to turn my video off immediately lest my face give me away. Thankfully the question was not directed at me and our database manager has much more visible tolerance for bullshit even if he secretly has a negative amount of actual tolerance for bullshit.
--I have taken tomorrow off just to have a day off because I am burnt out AF. I intend to go to the waffle place and then to the art museum. I intend to lie in the shade and listen to the cereal podcast and maybe knit. So there.

Hatchetfield: Honey and Green Apples by chlodobird
Jun. 4th, 2026 06:42 pmsusieboo posting in fancakeFandom: Hatchetfield
Pairings/Characters: Wilbur Cross/Charlotte Sweetly, mentioned Charlotte/Ted and Zoey/Sam
Rating: Mature
Length: 2,150 words
Creator Links: AO3 profile.
Theme: just like canon
Summary: The Honey Festival is supposed to be the best night of the year in Hatchetfield. Unfortunately for Charlotte Sweetly, her husband ditched her, Ted Spankoffski left with another woman, and Bill delivered some bad news. Her night just kept getting worse—and then it got weird. After all, the Honey Festival is a time when things from the Black and White can walk the streets of Hatchetfield, and Wiley's got plans of his own.
Reccer's Notes: Charlotte is a thoroughly underutilized character in the Hatchetfield canon, and this fic reads exactly like how a Charlotte-centric episode of Nightmare Time might play out - down to using the script formatting. This has also really gotten me interested in Charlotte/Wiley as a pairing.

Keeper of the Lost Cities: Shattered Upside Down by bookwyrminspiration
Jun. 4th, 2026 12:02 pmbluerosekatie posting in fancakeFandom: Keeper of the Lost Cities
Pairings/Characters: Fitz Vacker, Sophie Foster, Keefe Sencen, Biana Vacker, Dex Dizznee, Maruca Chebota, Wylie Endal, Marella Redek, Tam Song, and Linh Song
Rating: Teen
Length: 366,049 Words
Creator Links: bookwyrminspiration on Ao3
Theme:
Just Like Canon (Featured), Epic Works, Gen, Friendship, Wings, AU: Fork in the Road
Summary:
When the world begins to crawl with unnaturally made monsters, the Keeper crew continue to fight like they always have. But a wrench is thrown in those plans when they themselves become less than human.
Reccer's Notes:
Although this is a complete AU in that it's a wingfic, the author's writing style is very familiar to canon and I genuinely mix up scenes from this fic with canon because I love it so much! The focus on the friendship dynamics between all the crew is excellent.

Minecraft: Story Mode: Sproing! by Pinky G. Rocket
Jun. 4th, 2026 11:55 ambluerosekatie posting in fancakeFandom: Minecraft: Story Mode
Pairings/Characters: Male Jesse & Petra
Rating: Gen
Length: 1,521 words
Creator Links: Pinky G. Rocket on Ao3
Theme:
Just Like Canon (Featured), Gen Works, Friendship
Summary:
As Jesse and Petra go on new adventures throughout the world and visit new lands, they come across a village- but not with the usual inhabitants that they've come to expect from villages and towns. But even in these new lands, remnants of a crisis one thought long past linger.
Reccer's Notes:
A super sweet little oneshot that incorporates a fun Minecraft mod and newer Minecraft versions near-seamlessly into a continuation of the main characters' adventures. Fits into post-canon and has callbacks to the first season.

[#301 | Lost in the Woods]
Jun. 3rd, 2026 11:45 pmfanweeklymod posting in fandomweekly| Challenge 301: LOST IN THE WOODS |
Maybe it was supposed to be a quick walk to the other side of the local forest. Or was it part of a much longer journey, one that everybody knew was dangerous? Either way, something hasn’t gone to plan. The path is flooded or overgrown; the maps are old and out of date; or maybe our protagonist just has the worst sense of direction in the world, and now they’re lost. Can your characters find their own way out, or do they need to be rescued? Is it a minor blip in an otherwise easy journey, or a potentially life-threatening error? How do they handle it? Write a story about getting lost in the woods. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, June 8 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 301 – lost in the woods • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |
