You Don't Even Have A Dog. (He Has A Cat Though) by SleepingReader

Summary
‘You don’t even have a dog.’ she finished. That struck a nerve. What, dog people don’t have to die in space? Dog people can go back home?
I looked up from my slump, directly into her eyes. Didn’t matter if she was a dog person or no, she was wrong
‘I have a cat, though.’
That seemed to surprise her.
‘A cat?’
‘Yeah.’
‘You are lying.’
‘Am not.’ -

You came to Us in Leaf-Fall, Snow-Man.
You, who walked like a pup, who smelled of the earth and the ones within.
You, who let my daughter climb your blankets, and showed teeth but didn’t eat.AKA

Suggestions to Heaven by SleepingReader for lookitsstevie
Fandoms: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV)

Summary
There was a little bookshop, tucked into the corner of Soho. It was open at weird times, and when it was, and if you went in, you’d probably be met with a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed shopkeeper, who insisted on you borrowing some book or other.
Folks in town noticed something else, recently. Underneath the noticeboard offering and granting help, there was a box. Wooden, rather unassuming, looking like something a church would have for donations or purchasing a candle. It had a pen and some paper next to it.
In neat script, the box said ‘Suggestions to Heaven’ -

Summary
A series with a modern Witcher AU in which Jaskier is a relatively famous YouTuber.
What content he creates is entirely within the fanfic itself and has nothing to do with the series as a whole. As such, every story can be read seperately.
If you'd like to see him do anything specific, hit me up! :)- Words:

Alienation and Recovery by I_Like_This_A_Normal_Amount
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary (2026)
13 May 2026
Tags
Summary
While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.
"Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."
No one is happy about this.

Summary
He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.
"Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."
It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.
