the first time EVER scientists managed to spot a pair of deep sea octopi mating it turned out to be 1. two males and 2. two males of different species 3. the much smaller octopus was clearly topping. neither of the octopi showed any sign of distress, so they clearly were into it, and octopi are too smart not to know what they were doing. source
the animal kingdom is a lot gayer than people want you to believe.
So my most favorite fic ever, the one that’s 250k and I’ve read three times this year, the utterly brilliant and engrossing Designations Congruent With Things, was recently deleted from AO3 for unknown reasons. Most of the other ephemera from the fic has proven to be… ephemeral. All traces of this fic and the universe of creative work is quickly disappearing.
But! Fear not!
The fic is still available on The Wayback Machine

They have also archived pdfs of DCWT and the prequel Out of Many Scattered Things, which is mostly unavailable via the Wayback Machine.
You can also still see the collected fanart here:

So if you have any of those archived, hmu!
