Summary
Yes, it's unproven that J.D. Vance had carnal relations with a couch... but it's funny. This is a light, short piece, so nothing explicit.
Project 2025, mentioned in the story, is unfortunately real.

Summary
"You don't look like a person things happen to by chance" is a high compliment, given Sauron's love of order. If only chance hadn't put him on a sinking ship in the middle of the Sundering Sea. This tale starts with Sauron's POV on events in the first season, and will diverge from canon in chapter 3 (his reveal to Galadriel) -- as yes, I'm among those fascinated by the possibilities of Galadriel accepting.

Summary
“I never said you’d be handling it alone,” Missouri Moseley scoffs. “Take the guest room, sleep till you wake, and when you leave, I’ll have a list of names for you.”
“You know people who want to babysit a shapeshifter in a secret bunker.”
“I know people who need you as much as you need them.”
Now that Cassie has a home, it’s time to gather her team for her spin-off, SUPERSTITION, which builds slowly to a backdoor pilot in SPN 6.16 (And Then There Were None), then goes on as a short summer replacement before having a first full season at the same time as SPN 7. The spin-off title is a reference to Cassie's passion for transforming superstition to fact and knowledge, as well as an excuse to use the Stevie Wonder song as the musical theme.

Summary
Cassie’s smile is tight and forced as she straps Bobby John into his car seat in the back of an elderly Volvo station wagon that looks like an animal cracker box on wheels.
The baby coos questioningly when she hands him a plushy Pokémon Ditto, but keeps his current blue-eyed, beige-haired form. Cassie’s learned the hard way not to give Bobby John toys that look like people unless she’s prepared to clean up Shifter Sludge. (Dean has a ruder term for it that he’s been told not to use in front of the baby.)
The car runs, which is all she asks of it.
Five smiles that change Cassie’s life, on a single February day.

Dean’s mouth snaps shut. “Global warming?”
When Dean shows up on Cassie’s doorstep, not Lisa’s, at the end of 5.17, nothing in his big moment goes according to plan. What did he expect, telling a reporter about the biggest story of the millennium?

Poirot Shops for a Christmas Tree by BeautifulLife

26 Mar 2021

Summary
The habitual dapperness of my old friend, Hercule Poirot, was ill-suited to the rigors of the Christmas tree stand in front of the Gothic excess of St. John's Church, Notting Hill. Before we had seen more than half the selection of spruces and firs, Poirot's waxed mustaches were wilting, the scarf he wore against the foggy damp had come askew, and he walked as if his polished patent-leather shoes pinched.

Summary
The black veil gives a women decent privacy with her thoughts.
Corrie Worth, newly widowed, brushed crimson on her lips with a practiced hand, adjusted her hat over graying curls, and lowered the veil. Black gloves, bought at Woolworth's, weren't of the quality usually demanded by the wife of the third-richest mine owner in Harlan County; but sometimes keeping up appearances meant letting down standards.
(Greek mythology comes to Harlan County, Kentucky, during the Depression.)

Tags
Summary
Elinor comforted herself that they all could be resisted, which is how she stood here, crowned with the silver circlet of a princess. Her husband, Cinhil Haldane, was rapt in the mass but most likely not consumed by yearning for the rituals worked on the nascent knights. He had, only three days earlier, been outraged by the absurdity of his learning to use a sword.
“You can’t pray an armed enemy into submission,” she had said, buttering a manchet from her breakfast tray.
Elinor, Princess of Gwynedd, has a list of problems to solve if she's to prosper in her new role.

Summary
Even so, Elinor needed a moment to peruse the shelves for something that was neither military tactics nor theology. This section’s leather spines felt like dust beneath her fingers. That one’s spines were emblazoned in a gilt alphabet she could not read.
“Who goes there?”
The voice was low, gentle, and inevitably masculine.
Elinor froze, putting out her handfire with a thought. There was nothing wrong with her being here, but having to put herself in the way of another Michaeline or MacRorie herding her this way and that—keep Elinor out of the way, keep Elinor busy, let Elinor take charge of Megan and the children, let Elinor sew tunics for the new king—filled her with a dread that curled her fingers into claws.
An unexpected midnight encounter between widowed Elinor MacRorie and the reluctant Haldane heir changes the course of history.
