[ART] [Mass Effect] Miranda Lawson by kingsiha
This piece of Miranda is great. :)

[ART] [Mass Effect] Garrus/Shepard by glitterfang
My Mass Effect OTP with smooches. *__* I also love the commentary that goes with it. yes, I am glad we live in that reality. Yep.

[FIC] [Mass Effect] Black Eye by thoughtsappear (734 words) (Wrex)
It's been a Mass Effect kind of week for me! I'm having nostalgia; maybe I need to find time to replay it (hahahahasob). This little fic is Wrex considering Shepard's humanity and coming to see the tenacity of the human spirit but also thinking Shepard would be prettier if she let herself be brutally scarred in battle, ha ha. Okay, I wish you had been able to romance Wrex at some point, or if that was Too Weird, for there have been a sidequest where they have a discussion about Shepard and Wrex growing some Krogan/human babies somewhere. ANYWAY, this is a great story and I give it five space bees.

[ART] [Ancillary Justice] And Then I Fell To Pieces by theyoungdoyley (One Esk) My favourite part of this is how all of the different glimpses of One Esk's faces still combine to make a whole, and the way it feels like someone's world shattering and skipping.

[FIC] [Fargo] Wolves by ladysisyphus and relvetica (48,151 words) (Mr Numbers and Mr Wrench) (NSFW) I really love this fic series, and it's really hard for me to explain why. It's a series of moments that slowly build into a relationship; sometimes it's Wrench and Numbers sitting in a diner having a conversation in ASL about Judaism, sometimes it's them interrogating and killing people, sometimes it's just them being friends, and it is really good. It's got a really strong theme of communication through it (wanting to, struggling with, the difficulties of), as is kinda fitting for a fic series where the timeline is sorted by "how good is the character at ASL". I seriously recommend it.

[VID] [Jupiter Ascending] Hydrogenuine by cherryice (3:40) (Jupiter Jones/Cain Wise; Ensemble) This vid is so much fun, and I really enjoy it. (Especially because oh god, my Jupiter Ascending feelings. *lies on floor*) The way it's edited to jump and rewind really interesting to me, even if I don't have the vocabulary to describe it properly.
