Why this piece is awesome: I'm a sucker for a dog, and this one has three heads to pat! Nice contrast between the underworld denizens being grayscale and the meadow in colour.
Link: Canaeus and Photis (not sure what the point of the YT video is - it's a music track, maybe for atmosphere? Anyway, I'm just reccing the Caeneus pic)

diegetic_exchange is for in-universe fanfic/RPF/etc. Here are some things I enjoyed from it!

Babylon 5

Stars Uncrossed: My Vorlon Sex Story! (1300 words, explicit)
OF COURSE there is Vorlon/human reader insert smut on Future Space AO3, and of course there are some very recognizable Space AO3 usernames in the comments. The author's notes are also pure gold. MINBARI DNI.

Megamind

Am I the Asshole for impersonating someone else to be with my girlfriend? (700 words, Megamind/Roxanne)
The most in-character thing ever. The comments are great, and also extremely in character.

Murderbot Diaries

Bot Sacrifice (600 wds, gen)
Sanctuary Moon fanfic with ART's inline beta comments. Hilarious and very them, and also very touching.

I’m staying near a northern Wisconsin lake at 45.658965, -89.497625, where I’ll be revelling in 15:45 hours of daylight on the summer solstice. The logged-over forest is mostly red pine, and wow they’re pollinating—creating very abstract art near the dock

We're still focusing on the Nooks and Crannies theme but moving along to your lounge or main living area. Do you have any forgotten shelves, corners, little drawers or cupboards that rarely get opened? This is your chance to visit them, look carefully and see if what needs to happen - maybe some clutter clearing, or cleaning and re-organising, it might even need a little dusting. Let us know how you get along. Good luck everyone!

DEAR HARRIETTE: Over Memorial Day weekend, I hosted a small get-together at my home with my extended family. My cousin brought her 1-year-old son, who's just starting to walk and explore the world around him. He's a sweet little boy and was especially fascinated by my dog. The problem is that my dog has never been great around small children. He's anxious by nature and tends to get overstimulated easily. I usually keep him away from kids for that reason, but in the chaos of the day, I let my guard down.

At one point, before anyone could intervene, the baby startled my dog, and my dog reacted by biting him. It wasn't just a nip, either. It was a hard bite, and it left a mark. Thankfully, the injury wasn't severe, but it was enough to cause a lot of distress, especially for my cousin and her husband. My cousin was understandably upset, and while she tried to be civil about it, I could tell she was angry and hurt.

I feel so much guilt about the bite, but I'm also worried about what this means for our relationship moving forward and for my dog. I don't know how to make things right. Should I have done more to prevent the situation? How do I approach my cousin now and express how sorry I am without making things worse? -- Dog Bite

Link to Dear Annie

Dear Annie: My husband and I have two kids under 5, and we both work full-time. As you can imagine, our lives are pretty hectic. My mother-in-law lives about 30 minutes away and expects us to visit her almost every weekend. If we don't, she lays on the guilt pretty thick -- talking about how she "never sees the kids" or implying we don't value family.

The truth is, we're just exhausted. Weekends are the only time we get to catch up on rest, housework or just quality time together as a family without having to entertain. We've tried inviting her to our house instead, but she always declines and insists we come to her.

I know she means well, and we want her to have a relationship with the kids, but I'm starting to dread the constant pressure. How can we set firmer boundaries without starting a bigger family conflict? -- Tired But Trying

2. Dear Annie: Out of the blue, my daughter told me she bought a house in Connecticut and will be moving there from New Jersey. She insists the two-hour drive isn't far, but I feel hurt and blindsided that she didn't let me know about this until she'd already bought the house and was getting ready to sell her New Jersey home.

Her mother-in-law helped her financially with the move, which is great, but now she'll live just 30 minutes from her in-laws while I'm two hours away. I feel betrayed having been kept in the dark. I'm also 65, live on my own and have a very, very sick dog. I don't know how long the dog will live, but for now, traveling two hours one way just isn't an option.

I'm very hurt by what she did and I'm trying to get past it. She used to live just 30 minutes from me, and now she'll be just as close to her mother-in-law, who helped her buy the house. I've actually had to go on antidepressants because of this. Thankfully, my son and his fiancee live a mile away, so that's a blessing. But I feel like the mother-in-law pulled a fast one as she has her daughter, her daughter's family and now her son and his family so close to her.

Please give me some advice to help me get through this. -- Left Out in New Jersey
