Fic: Maybe Hope Is a Habit You Can Hang Onto

Title: Maybe Hope Is a Habit You Can Hang Onto ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/69915356
Fandom: Brilliant Minds
Pairing: Josh/Oliver
Rating: M
Warnings: None
Summary: Dating Josh is one of the more surreal experiences Oliver has had in his life, which is saying something since he’s ingested a significant amount of psychedelics over the years. He’s never dated anyone who would suggest that they go to a haunted house event hosted by a bunch of teenaged witches to raise money for a member of their coven who just had a baby. Set sometime between the end of ep 10 and the first half of ep 11.

Notes:
1. Time is so messed up on this show, the cocoon couldn’t actually be present at the time of year when it appears. But it’s there, so I went with it.
2. Thanks to michi_rambles for fern species suggestions/identification help.
3. Beta by the ever generous spirkme.

random shit and a plea to vote for my story

Apparently three people liked my story "Vulcan That Was" enough to nominate it for a Philon Award. This story is my least read and least kudo'd Trek fic, and honestly, it has zero chance of winning. But if you feel like upping its chances, you could go vote for it! https://kiscon.org/philon2025.html Be logged in to your fannish email, not your RL one.

Brilliant Minds season 2 starts in a month, and I'm so fucking excited. I will undoubtedly annoy everyone by talking about it even more than I already do. Sorry!

The writer's block continues, but over the last couple of days, I have forced myself to write a bit of Brilliant Minds fic. Oddly, the story is thematically much like the Trek fic I forced myself to write the last time I had writer's block. 😂
