Silmarillion: By Other Means by SpaceWall
Aug. 8th, 2025 01:41 pmbeatrice_otter posting in fancakeFandom: Silmarillion
Pairings/Characters: Luthien/Maedhros
Rating: teen
Length: 66k

SpaceWall
Theme: marriage of convenience, old fandoms, small fandoms, book fandoms, rare pairings, AU (fork in the road), pretend couple
Summary: Centuries after the arrival of the Noldor and the Teleri in Beleriand, a celebration of Morgoth’s defeat brings the Crown Princess of Doriath and the Crown Prince of the Noldor together. To save this newborn peace from their respective fathers, they’ll do whatever it takes. Including... getting married?
Meanwhile, Lord Fingon of Himring faces the monumental task of healing Morgoth’s ills.
--
They regarded each other with quiet understanding, all the vast majesty of their respective lineages rendered unimportant by the connection between them. Music wound through the trees; harp and flute, surely joyous in context, sounded lonely in their solitude.
Reccer's Notes: Fëanor is a very complex character in the Silmarillion, who both has reasons for what he does and also does some terrible things. Fanon tends to sympathize with him, and also make him a good father to compensate for his other issues. SpaceWall takes the opposite track, leaning into his selfishness, his arrogance, and his suspiciousness. And then asks, if he had survived on Beleriand, what would have happened? If Fëanor, brilliant and terrible, were in command of the Noldor? Some things are better, some things are worse, (and Thingol is still Thingol), and so at a crucial juncture Maedhros and Luthien step forward to try and prevent disaster and war between the Noldor and Sindarin. And, in the process, they both learn a great deal.

Pride and Prejudice: To Bear is to Conquer Our Fate by Shem

Pairings/Characters: Kitty Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy
Rating: 106k
Length: teen
Creator Links:Shem
Theme: marriage of conveneince, rare pairings, old fandoms, book fandoms, epic works, novel-length, AU, happy endings,
Summary: The day after the Netherfield Ball, a simple walk through the countryside has wide reaching consequences for Mr Darcy and a certain young lady from Longbourn.
Reccer's Notes: This is such an engaging look at a very different pairing and what might have been. It's long, plotty, with lots of good character work and a great slow burn.

The Queen's Gambit (TV): you wait and you wonder who'll take on your odds
Aug. 8th, 2025 03:42 pmsasheneskywalker posting in fancakeFandom: The Queen's Gambit (TV)
Pairings/Characters: Beth Harmon/Benny Watts
Rating: Explicit
Length: 138,010 words
Creator Links:paperclipbitch
Theme: marriage of convenience, future fic, slow burn, mutual pining, exes to friends to spouses to lovers, chess
Summary: “Don’t think of it as marriage,” Benny tells her. “Think of it as castling.”
Beth raises an eyebrow. “Am I the king or the rook in this analogy?”
Reccer's Notes: An amazing post-canon fic where Beth, frustrated by the period-typical sexism she keeps facing, marries Benny for convenience and now they’re stuck in a fake relationship full of unresolved tension, mutual pining, and all their messy issues (addiction, gambling, competitiveness). It’s smart, emotional, and so compelling. I loved every moment <3

Absolute Green Lantern #4 - "Chaotic Action"

There’s a lot of that biblical stuff in there. I told someone else it was one of my comics where I try to solve God. I have an ongoing relationship with religion in my work, from a very agnostic perspective, but I work a lot of that out on the page. -- Al Ewing

Mod Post: On posting politically sensitive scans
Aug. 7th, 2025 11:47 pmicon_uk posting in scans_dailyA recent question from one of our members about the suitability of a comic which addresses political matters, which they were considering making a post about has reminded the Mods about what Scans_Daily is for, and it seems salient to mention it aloud.
"All art is political" is a given, and graphic storytelling is no exception. "Political" cartoons in newspapers etc have been a part of media for literally centuries.
Art also reflects the real world, metaphorically or directly, and that can make certain topics extra sensitive one way or the other.
Provided such comics do not promote hate or spread falsehoods without challenge or context, we have no issue with them being posted on S_D and encourage civilised dialogue.
Allowing them to be posted is making a political stance. NOT allowing them to be posted would still be a political stance, just a different one.
Our rules of behaviour apply to all posts. We trust all our members will be able to follow them, and we're here if anyone has any concerns.

Dark Shadows: Angelique (The Devil Need Not Own You) by Laramie Dean
Aug. 7th, 2025 12:05 pmpronker posting in fancakeFandom: Dark Shadows
Pairings/Characters: Angelique Bouchard/Barnabas Collins, Julia Hoffman, Nicholas Blair, other canon characters
Rating: Unrated; my best guess is T for violence
Length: ~11,000
Creator Links: Link to author's blog
Theme: marriage of convenience, backstory
Summary: The witch Angelique married numerous times throughout her long life and liaisoned even more times. Her great beauty ensured attracting anyone she could use and discard.
Reccer's Notes: Angelique owned many family names throughout the 5 year run of the show, and this story encompasses her entire life from childhood on. The convenient marriage is the one to Roger Collins while she is disguised as occult student Cassandra Blair. This story rocks because literally each of her identities receives insightful exploration, though the main "Pairing" consists of Angelique/Barnabas, the most well-known of her loves. She loves too well and not wisely at all.
