About the AO3 "No Guest Comments for a while" warning
If you're not following any of AO3's social media accounts you might be in the dark as to what kind of "spam comments" have engendered this banner at the top of the site:
These spam comments have been posted about a great deal on the AO3 subreddit for the past couple of days. Initially they comprised a bunch of guest (logged out users) bot comments that insulted authors by suggesting they were using AI and not writing their own fics. Some examples, from the subreddit:
But it then escalated to outright graphic porn images and gifs being posted in comments, again by logged out 'Guest' accounts. Obviously, I'm not going to give examples of those, but between these two bot infestations, AO3 has clearly decided to act and has temporarily closed the ability to post comments for users who are not logged in with an AO3 account.
Unfortunately, this means that genuine readers who don't have an AO3 account won't be able to leave comments on fics that they enjoy.
If you are a genuine reader who doesn't yet have an AO3 account, I strongly suggest getting yourself on the waiting list for one. More and more AO3 authors are now locking their fics down to registered users only - either due to these bot comments or concerns about AI scraping their work - which means you're probably missing out on a lot of great stuff.
Hopefully guest commenting will be enabled again at some point soon, but I suggest not waiting until then. Get yourself on that list.
Wait times are going to be longer than usual at the moment, due to the current Wattpad purge [info on Fanlore | Wattpad subreddit thread], but if you're in line, then your invite will come through eventually.
Update: There's now a Megathread about this on the AO3 subreddit.

A detail I really really love and adore in 911 is the Buckley siblings crossing pinkies when they need strength or want to reassure one another. The Buckley siblings are already my favorite, but this detail just feels so real to me? Especially considering their childhood and the trauma they endured? The pinkie crossing is like a physical touch point to help ground themselves while not being so overwhelming as to make any stressors worth. Its childhood pinky promises turned into a form of comfort for the adults the children grew into. I adore it endlessly.

bisexual buck is so important to me
buddie aside, all of the romance and ships aside, it's the fact that they have this man, older, in his 30s, only now coming to terms with his sexuality. only now realising that this is a possibility
and it's beautiful
because so much bisexual media is overlooked or ignored or just doesn't exist.
bisexuality is beautiful and I'm so glad it's not just a "hey look he's gay too", it's a "this character has been looking for the missing piece and he found it. isn't that beautiful?"
and it is
and I love it
