Friday Fics Fix - Spider-Man and the Winter Soldier (...And Some Nuance)

 


'However, Peter has been called a lot of awful names in the last week for jumping to conclusions – how was he supposed to know that that one mugging was actually Shakespeare in the Park?'

This is a quirky and sweet Spider-Man meets Winter Soldier fic.

(MCU - Marvel movies etc., in case you somehow didn't get the clue from 'Spider-Man.')

At first I did wonder whether I'd even enjoy it, but it definitely grew on me.

Nerd Church - The Writer Diaries: Write Through

 

Warning: this post discusses Depression


Title: Write Through



I have not had a good week, mental-health-wise.

I had some very bad Depression days, and was generally not very good, mentally.



The thing is that when my mental health is poor, I really struggle to write. 

Anything. Like, coherent sentences are a problem.

Let alone the *Writing* I really need (I explained the difference between writing and *Writing* here, if you're interested.)

Friday Fics Fix - Out There In The Big Wide World

 



'“Loki.”

His mouth quirks in a smile. Ah, yes. That was his name once. Long ago. Or maybe not yet. He can’t remember which description is most appropriate anymore.'

There are a lot of continuation fics based on the Loki Disney+ series, out there in the big wide world.

I must have read a good number all by my lonesome by now - I know I've rec'd some on more than one occasion.

Nerd Church - Sometimes You Need To Take Things Slow

 


Title: Sometimes You Need To Take Things Slow



Do you get the feeling, sometimes, that everything out there in the big wide world is kind of... rushed?

It's kind of fast, kind of hurried, kind of urgent.

Friday Fics Fix - I Make No Excuses


 

'Daniel wasn’t moving. Or making noise of any kind. And if Daniel wasn’t harassing anyone with questions, that was just a bad sign.'

A bit of a different one for you this time - Stargate: SG-1.

This was a sci-fi action/adventure series that ran from '97 to '07. 

I was too young to watch it from the beginning - I'm a millennial, but I'm on the younger side of that - so I mostly caught up with it on re-runs in my teens.
