Season 4 Finale: Five Star Requests

Season 4 is coming to an end, but not before a whole host of fics to share! This is the first part of our ever-unpredictable 2 part season finale. Claire brings Grace a blast from their past to drink while reading our listener recommendations. Grace reads a crack fic written by listener Alex about Harry Potter and Edward Cullen as park rangers. While Claire reads congressional fanfiction based on the January 6th insurrection and our queen AOC (CW to listeners who might be sensitive to this), and they bring it home with a fic started by listener Genevieve and finished by her friend who knew nothing about either the Harry Potter fandom or the Percy Jackson Fandom. Cheers! - (Upgraded) Honey Boo Boo - Mix 1 oz vodka and 6 oz strawberry bud light seltzer, top with strawberry pink lemonade. Enjoy with ice on a nice porch in the summer time with your friends while talking about reality TV. -  Want to read a fic for yourself? Give the authors the kudos they deserve? You can now read the Yogi x Harry x Edward fic on Archive of Our Own under "peanut butter and jellystone" by twerkbottomjinx (MyZinger). The congressional fic is also found on AO3: The Undisclosed Location (Congressional Fanfiction) by cursedrebecca. Finally, the Harry Potter/Percy Jackson crossover is found on wattpad under "Demigods Go to Hogwarts" by LilyWhite719. -  Fine Pairings Podcast - A podcast about fanfiction.

Take a Chance on Me, Witcher

They said it couldn't be done. They said that a "Fastburn" (the opposite of a slow burn) didn't exist. Luckily Grace is chaotic enough that she can find the unfindable on the internet. This week she brings a time traveling Naruto fanfic set in a dinner. Enjoy! - Sidecar: Add 2 oz brandy (cognac), 1 oz orange liquor, and 0.75 oz lemon juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled.

Life in the Fastburn

We're back with a MTV favorite: Teen Wolf! This week's episode Claire brings Grace a Sterek fic (Derek Hale/ Stiles Stilinski). Neither have ever seen the show beyond the second hand information Claire has gleaned from the tumblr posts she's seen for years. Maybe this Vice President/Secret Service fic will be just the thing to make her add it to her watchlist.  - Full Moon - Mix together 1.5 oz hot water, 1 oz orange liqueur (we used triple sec), 1 oz amaretto, 1 oz honey, and 0.5 oz lemon juice.

Love Actually is...a Teen Wolf

Back in the middle school years Grace and Claire developed matching crushes on Cole and Dylan Sprouse. Some fascinations never die, but age like a fine liquor in a wine cellar. Only to be cracked open years later when careers take on fewer twin shenanigans. This week's shenanigans we dive into...Riverdale! - Gargoyle Blood Punch: Mix together equal parts 151 rum, currant vodka, whiskey, cranberry juice, add red punch koolaid and sugar to taste. -  Want to read this fic for yourself?

Never on a School Night

TW/CW: Non Con - Unfortunately the nature of Handmaids Tale is...the nonconsensual nature of Gilead. This fic isn't as explicit as many other fics could be, but this is your warning up front. If you don't like Handmaids Tale this might not be the episode for you. This fic is also a crossover with Game of Thrones, so be prepared to listen to Claire reexplain the plot and characters of GoT to Grace. Enjoy! - Pairing: Blessed be the fruit - Mix together 1 ounce pomegranate juice, 1 ounce aperol (or orange juice), 4 ounces Prosecco.

Praised Be

This week Grace brings an Alina/Darkling fic from the Grishaverse. Spoiler: we recorded this before we watched the Shadowhunter show on Netflix, so be prepared to listen us stumble along blindly.
