deadfinchjust a few for these last couple months:
There's a Tumblr post by trickerydickerydock, in Venom fandom: superhero peril tropes and tell them where your boyfriend is, Eddie.
Adrien has been held for ransom before, and he knows the routine: be patient, don't annoy anyone who's armed, and wait for the police to find a solution that the kidnapper(s) don't want his father thinking is an option.
But this time Adrien wasn't the only one taken. He wasn't even the primary target; that would be Chat Noir's only known civilian friend, the only person he's ever paid attention to after hearing her declare her love for him. Since all anyone knows Adrien is to Ladybug is her celebrity crush, he might be an afterthought, or just an annoyance along for the ride. And he still has his ring.
Hawkmoth probably hasn't seen that or any Tumblr post. (Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. Tell them where your boyfriend is, Eddie.) Has Marinette?
Elizabeth was at a loss what to do with Miss Darcy’s letter.
Cameron and Michael think they're being subtle when they interview all of the dodgiest boys in school, trying to cast the role of Kat Stratford's boyfriend. Eventually Trish Verona takes pity on them and volunteers.
another fun aagfic. went trawling because my roommate and i decided to go with 10 things i hate about you for our most recent movie night. i'd never seen it, but i'd played bianca in taming. i think my roommate was embarrassed by the 90s sexism and i had to keep reassuring her that it was actually a step up from the source material.this is unrelated to the fic rec, i'm just feeling chatty

it's been awhile since i've read anything for these little guys, and this one was fun! very efficient identity reveal, a mix of dark humor and dorky wordplay, lots of adrien-having-feelings-about-his-dad, sweet get-together ending.

Elizabeth was at a loss what to do with Miss Darcy’s letter.
i love a pastiche! i also love when aagfic explores how a dynamic would change and what it would have to look like if relationship's gender configuration were altered; this one pleases me.
