It's Thursday, and I really think we should get some awesome-sauce comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Yes, it's another week of Pride Fics Fest, where I stop pretending fanfiction is anything but All the Gay™.
(You can check out last week's post here!)
I figured it out, Marvel!
You just didn't know how to give us Bucky Barnes as a Bicon! You were afraid of messing it up! That's what it was!
How cynical and misguided of us to think that you were Queerbaiting with The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) - extensively - rather than trying to find a way to express Bucky's Bisexuality.
It's Thursday, it's June, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness my dearest nerdlets!
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get a nice big helping of comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's May, it's Thursday, let's get us some superhero-y, comics-y goodness!

"What the hell man you can't just go announcing that! You'll get the place raided!" He hissed, Sam furrowing his brows before his face relaxed in realization, letting out a short laugh.
Am I rec'ing a The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) fic for the second week in a row?
Yes, yes I am.
We all know at this point that I'm TFATWS trash (...amongst other trash, but let's stick to TFATWS for now 😅)
I couldn't resist this fic, OK?
It's Thursday, it's May 2021, let's get some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
(Warning: this post briefly discusses Covid 19/Coronavirus and Lockdowns, and mental health problems)
April was a mixed month.
Not only did we have snow, hail, rain, and blazing warm sunshine on the same day, but the uncertain opening-up after Lockdown etc. still meant that things felt hecka odd.
We're in that odd position where we're (hopefully) beyond the worst of it, but it's also uber-important not to move too fast, y'know?
'Sam scrubbed a hand over his face. “Look, I know you talk like that just to annoy me, that the ‘stoic brainwashed soldier’ thing is just an act-“
“I would never joke about perimeter security.”'
Have we established that I'm trash for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) yet?
If not, let's establish it right now: I am trash for TFATWS. (Albeit trash that is still critical of their Queerbaiting, but here we are.)
It's Thursday, it's May, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's Thursday, it's the end of April in this year of 2021, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's Thursday, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier finishes tomorrow (*gasp*,) let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's Thursday, it's April, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's Thursday, the world is still pretty weird, let's get some superhero-y, comics-y, goodness!
There is a permanent corner of my brain devoted to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier right now.
For those who don't know: this is a new Disney+ series set in the MCU (the Marvel superhero movies,) - particularly the Captain America corner where Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes live.
...metaphorically. Although I'm sure they'd think it was mildly hilarious to live on a street named after Cap.
Since I couldn't find any fanfiction based specifically on this series that I wanted to rec., I decided to trawl through my relatively extensive archive of fic recs to pick out a handful of my faves featuring Sam and/or Bucky.
(This is the upside of having a shared cinematic universe - the downside is catching up on content if and when you fall behind so that you know wtf is going on 😅)
If anyone has any recs for fics based on this current series, please send 'em my way!
Also, it struck me that I see far less quality fics about Sam than about Bucky, so if you know of any good Falcon ones, lemme know!
It's Thursday, it may be April Fool's Day, but no tricks here - just comics-y, superhero-y, goodness!
It's Thursday, spring has sprung here in sunny Wales, let's get some superhero-y, comics-y, goodness!
It's Thursday, we all need a break from doom-scrolling (or, at least I do!) so let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
