Summary:
And in further awesomeness, the Skin-Taker (one of the characters in the Candle Cove creepy pasta) replied to my feedback on Between 'Outerscope' and the Sleestaks:
Are you scared? Are you a little scaredy-cat? I should grind your skin between my teeth, but it won't taste any good. Only children taste extra good.
What's that behind you?
Oh, it's me.
HA HA HA HA HA HA
Loling forever, a little uneasily.
A couple of random recs of fics that I enjoyed:

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Xî yóu jì | Journey to the West - Wú Cheng'en
Rating: General Audiences

Characters: Sun Wukong | Monkey
Summary:
This is equal measures of hilarious and heroic, as all Monkey stories should be. I ended up hurting a little from not being able to laugh out loud, because I'm at work.

After the Wells (6156 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Sadler's Wells - Lorna Hill
Rating: General Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Sebastian Scott/Veronica Weston
Characters: Veronica Weston, Sebastian Scott
Summary:
Sadler's Wells fic! And it's perfect Sebastian and Veronica in the year after their marriage. I was always sad that the books moved on so quickly past them and onto new characters - which I loved, don't get me wrong - when we could have lingered a little longer on the way they reconnected at the end of Veronica at the Wells. This is pretty much everything I could have asked for in this regard.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Lord Asriel/Marisa Coulter
Characters: Marisa Coulter, Lord Asriel, Edward Coulter
Summary:
The forging of Mrs Coulter - I really liked how much of Lyra you can see in young Marisa, and yet how different she is.

Degenerate Beauty Queens (1414 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Born to Die - Lana Del Rey (album)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Characters: This is What Makes Us Girls (song)
Summary:
The song that the fic is based on is really pretty indulgent, which I like, to be honest, because isn't that what adolescence is all about? This fic fleshes the story out, but catches that dreamy, close feeling perfectly.

Fandom: Nextwave (Comic)
Rating: Not Rated
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Elsa Bloodstone, Monica Rambeau, The Captain, Aaron Stack, Tabitha Smith
Summary:
I read most of Nextwave with an expression of O.O and little birdies tweeting in circles around my head. This fic produces a similar effect. Which is good, I think? Yeah, good. Read it, fleshy ones.

Summary:
Anne rolls her eyes. "Is your aunt really going to know if you cheat on your nonfiction with some hot prose on the side?"
"It's the principle of the thing. I've got my pride," Emily says.
"Ah, yes, Murray pride," Anne says, warming to the topic. "Also known as, your family is so ridiculously stubborn that whenever I think about them I thank God I'm an orphan."
"I'm an orphan, too," Emily points out.
"I thank God I'm adopted," Anne says.
