Sep. 4th, 2025 05:35 pmmemeandyou posting in bakerstreet
It's always darkest before the dawn, they say, but dawn may still be a long, long way away. It's dark here in the woods, the power's gone out, and there's something lurking in the shadows. Welcome to your long dark night of the soul. Perhaps nothing afflicts you but mere insomnia, but the night is deep and dark, and no one lives any nearer than town. No one will come any nearer than that. In the night. In the dark.

On The Run Meme
Maybe something went wrong, or maybe it's just another normal day in your life, but you've found yourself on the run. Did you commit a crime, or cross the wrong person, or simply end up in the wrong place at the wrong time? Whatever the reason behind your situation is, your goal is the same: don't get caught.
How To Play
• Comment with your character, and if you're feeling ambitious put in a bit of a starter. Who are you running from and why?
• Respond to others, either as their partner on the run or part of the force chasing them.
• Have epic adventures, fall in love, utterly fail and get caught. See how it goes!
• RNG for some extra unpredictable fun.

ONE DIRECTION: LEAVE IT TO THE BREEZE
Sep. 4th, 2025 11:28 amdenynothing1 posting in fancakeFandom: One Direction
Pairings/Characters: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan/Zayne Malik
Rating: Explicit
Length: 81,459 words / 9.5hr podfic
Creator Links: hattalove on AO3, frecklebomb on AO3
Theme: Food & Cooking
Summary: Louis couldn’t be prouder of his bake, but there’s something—there’s something. Something about Harry Styles and the earnest way he measures, pours, mixes, scrapes. Something about the tip of his tongue poking out of his mouth as he knocks the air out of his batter.
Or, a Great British Bake Off AU in which Louis cares about winning and winning only, Harry is made of sunshine and rainbow sprinkles, and Niall sticks his nose into other people's business. Also featuring Liam as Louis's best friend-slash-concerned mother, and Zayn as a macaron connoisseur.
Reccer's Notes: I love GBBO AUs to pieces and this is one of the very best I've found. This story features characters in their early 20s who love baking for a variety of reasons. They are mostly charming but can be very stressed and vulnerable. They find joy in being good at what they can do with batter and dough, but can also be tough on themselves as well as others. IOW you've seen these characters on the show itself at times. : )
There's an enemies-to-lovers progression happening for one half of the main pairing that is exasperating and very human until it reaches the point where it's also very hot and very fun. The writer deserves a cake stand and a big bouquet for managing to weave all these elements together into a very satisfying story.
There's a marvelous podfic version of the story by frecklebomb as well. It's one of my favorite listens.

the
A MUSE WALKS INTO A BAR
meme
It's time to hit the town! Whether alone, with friends, or looking to make some new friends, your muse is out to drink some drinks and make some choices.
- Drinking Games. Whether it's a good old standby like Never Have I Ever or something more esoteric, there's nothing like a drinking game to pass the time.
- Other Games. Pool? Darts? Poker? All the traditional bar entertainments are available to you.
- Karaoke. Or maybe you prefer your entertainment a little more...lyrical.
- Designated Driver. Did you draw the short straw? Have fun babysitting your friends.
- Stepping Outside. Whether you're going for a smoke or just catching your breath for a quiet moment, all the best conversations happen at the back door.
- New Best Friends. Live your drunk-girl-in-a-bar-bathroom dream.
- Obligatory Barfight Option. Because what's a night out without some drama?
- Afterparty. Maybe you've had enough shots for a nightclub to sound like a good idea...or maybe you've made a new friend who wants to make this a private party...
- Wildcard. Choose your own (drunken) adventure!

- Characters can suddenly see their own usernames! And each others! How do they react? You tell me!

Kissing scars
Sep. 3rd, 2025 06:15 pmabbacchiohno posting in bakerstreet |
| Despite the romanticism surrounding the emotion, it can be difficult to be loved completely — not just the beautiful parts of us, but also the sad parts, the injured parts, the hidden and less-than-pleasant parts. There are marks on us, both physical and mental, that we'd often rather forget. The mental ones can just be easier to hide. As for physical scars, they can be off of our minds some of the time, but that's exceedingly hard to do in more intimate, close moments. Whether it's to your dismay or otherwise, your partner is not looking away and ignoring your scars. To the contrary, they're providing attention in a way most heavily associated with tenderness: kissing. It may be an accidental slip-off target, or they may be trying to show you that what you've done and who you've been don't matter to them now. Does the gesture touch you? Make the walls come up once again because of the memories that are dredged from somewhere you'd rather no-go? A mixture of both? The wound has long closed, yet the pains remain; these days, however, there's someone who may be willing to help you bear it.

Affectionate
Sep. 3rd, 2025 03:29 pmlilpoundcake posting in bakerstreet When it comes to the way affection is shown, everyone has a different way they go about it. That means that there's a pretty good chance, with regards to couples, you could end up with two people who have two varying approaches towards how they prove they care...sometimes radically varying, which can lead to more than a little confusion or hurt feelings if there's not proper communication. But when both people are on the same page, they can tell each other how they feel with few words. ☄ Comment with your character, info, prefs, and how your character will likely show affection. |

R U L E S:
1. Post your character with their name and series in the subject line.
2. Others respond using RNG. Roll 1 - 15 to pick a scenario.
3. Some scenarios have options (A - C). Pick any one from them or roll 1 - 3.
4. If there is no option that fits for you, then feel free to make one up!
5. And there you go, instant fluff~
It's so cold, let me in your window
Sep. 3rd, 2025 01:56 pmbuckingham posting in bakerstreetTHE BODY HEAT MEME
Post with your character! They're now stuck in a very cold place of your choice. It can be anything, such as a freezing chamber, a cavern or a small cabin in the midst of a blizzard. The choice is up to you.
Comment around! Now your character has some company in this bone-chilling environment. The two of them share two things in common: clothes completely unfitting for this weather (be they summer clothes or even lingerie) and a blanket.
A blanket? Yes, just one warm blanket and no other ways to escape the cold. The two of them will have to share it in order to stay alive in this weather. Don't worry, you're sure to find a common language in this terrible situation!
So, uh, have fun, I suppose. Try to not freeze to death!
Protip: friction and body heat are both excellent ways to fend off cold.
