    Guys, guys, guys!! It's been 7 years since the first episode of Fine Pairings! Which was, as you know, the first After fic. But before we get into the episode, some mushy stuff up top...

    It's been a pleasure to share the fanfic space with all of you and explore fandoms of all shapes and sizes. We raise our glasses once again to all the creators and readers who made the fanfic space what it is.

    Now we're here, on the final chapter of After.

    No more spoilers. Let's get into it.

    High Shirley - 1 oz Grenadine, 1 Miller High Life, and 2 cherries.

    Vegan Blow Job - 0.5 oz Amaretto, 0.5 oz Irish cream, and Vegan Whipped Cream (alcoholic if possible)

    Critically Unacclaimed: Goncharov and Us - The Fine Pairings Cut Jul 09, 2026
    Show notes

    Fine Pairings is proud to present... an episode that the Tribeca Film Festival rejected...a deep dive into the movie Goncharov (1973)! Now with content that would have pushed us over the time limit requirement for the festival!

    How had such an impactful film escaped the notice of cinephiles? How could such a wonderful episode not win an award at Tribeca? Well, much like the movie itself, Fine Pairings remains unappreciated in its time!

    Please enjoy our deep dive into Goncharov 1973: The greatest mafia movie ever made?

    -

    Cocktail Pairing:

    The Airedale: 2.5 oz bourbon, 0.75 oz Aperol, and 1 tsp simple syrup.

    Shot - 1.5 oz of Menzogna brand vodka - cheers with the phrase "Era una menzogna!"

    Flames Between Foes: The Rise of the Lovers Apr 23, 2025
    Show notes

    What is the core of Reylo as a pillar of Enemies to Lovers? This week, Josie highlights one of the top Kudosed EtL fics from the over 1 million words she collectively read in service of the Rebellion.

    This fic was originally meant to be a PWP, and the author let it turn into a full-scale adventure! (Ain't that just the way?) Josie reads Chapter 3, and if you venture into the full fic you'll be treated to angst, slow burn, dubious consent, and explicit content.

    Cocktail Pairing: The Light Side

    In a shaker add 2 ounces of vodka, .5 ounces of cognac, 1 ounce of cream of coconut, and 1 ounce of lime juice. Dry shake the ingredients before pouring and adding ice.

    Serve with a shot-glass amount of equal parts cold brew and Mr. Coffee liquor, because we all have a little bit of the dark side tucked away in the depths...

    We read fanfic and we don't judge...

    So this episode can be marked under RPF: Real Problematic Fanfic. Which is to say that inspiration has struck these authors straight from the headlines and we felt it was necessary to dive in. Just remember....it's fanfic until proven guilty.
