I've totally been motoring through these fics! Many thanks to
zvi for helping me out with some more useful warnings-coding than my own makeshift uselessness.

.
scooby-doo, daphne blake, and so on and on and on by hyacinthian | scooby-doo -- I have no particular fondness for Scooby and his humans, but I certainly liked this peek at Daphne-world and how central she really is to their adventures and therefore their raison d'être. {peer pressure}
.
art is a lie by moirariordan | lady gaga -- Thirty years later, how does one remain relevant? the answer is: try just hard enough and don't join if you can't take a joke. {no warnings}
.
love in technicolour by corposant | the archandroid -- Janelle Monae's latest album about the robot deity Cindi Mayweather is certainly deserving of fic; also, there's a little gem in it for we popslashy types. I won't lie, I laughed and wiggled in my chair in delight. {capture}
.
a perfect haircut every day by uptheapples | gilmore girls -- All of the things Lane dreamt for herself, and could have been, laid out here in the most heartwrenching way. I had a LOT of problems with what canon did to Lane, and while I can't say this story soothed me, it was grimly satisfying to finally see it all addressed. {no warnings}
.
blow me bluebell bubbles by chaletian | harry potter -- Alice Longbottom, at St. Mungo's. I can't remember her in the book very well, and the prompt was far more light-spirited than what this story actually is: a tiny snapshot of a shattered woman, robbed of everything that makes her *her*. This thing gave me chills. {mental impairment}
.
born to fuck each other one way or another by bluerosefairy | la confidential -- I often wondered what happened to Inez after the awful events of the movie, and this is ... well, it's not pretty, but for the space of this story it seems entirely likely. {rape trauma, violence, racism, dysfunctional relationships}
.
in my leather jacket, jeans, and motorcycle boots by kitasu | 500 days of summer -- One of the most nagging things about this movie was never getting Summer's pov, and this upends it and does just that. It also reminds me why (even though I like JGL a lot) Summer made more sense to me than Tom did. {no warnings}
.
the catch is you stay and see what becomes of us by anythingbutgrey | where in the world is carmen sandiego -- There's almost no way to describe this, except that it's Carmen and Waldo, getting lost and getting found. {no warnings}
