'The night wore on, and Merlin still hadn't found anything. The words were beginning to blur together on the page no matter how much he tried to clear his vision, so he finally gave in and went over to wake Lancelot.'
I love the BBC TV show Merlin - and even years after it ended, it has a thriving fandom online.
...which, lucky for us, means that there are fic writers busily scribbling away to this day.
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some comics-y, superhero-y goodness!
'Sam’s hand hovers near his arm again, just in the corner of his eye. Just in case he collapses without warning or something. Bucky hates that he has to bite his tongue and accept that as a legitimate probability'
This week's fic appealed to my emo goblin spaghetti-brain.
I regret nothing.
December had Christmas - and therefore was de facto awesome.
I don't make the rules (well, not all of them.)
(I love Christmas. So. Much.)
As I usually do in December, I scaled back on blogging a bit
- although I decided to keep going with my Comics Wrap-Up posts this year so that I could ramble on about Hawkeye, because I am Marvel trash.
So that's the reason there's so few posts this month.
I usually try to use the time when I'm posting less to schedule and organise and all that jazz. Key word is 'try' - but there's points for trying, right? 😉
It's Thursday, it's January, by the time we remember to write 2022 it'll be 2023, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Everything I have for you is in the 'Other Stuff' category. *shrugs* #BlameLoki
It's Thursday, 2021 is - to paraphrase my countryman Dylan Thomas - going gentle into that good night, so let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's Thursday, Christmas is so close, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness right here on Dora Reads!
It's Thursday, Christmas is rapidly approaching, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

It's Thursday, it is December somehow, this is Dora Reads, so let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
'Slowly, Klaus’ scarf begins to take shape. It’s a little wonky in places, the occasional stitch has been dropped, the loops are not very neat - but he’s improving with time.'
The Umbrella Academy (TUA) fic time again!!! Woo!
And yes, as you've probably guessed, this fic is firmly front-and-centred on m'boy Klaus Hargreeves.
'“So let me see if I’ve got this straight. You think a witch has lured us here to her cabin so she can fatten us up with fast food, then kill us and eat us for Sunday brunch?”
Sam blinks. “Yes?”'
Not entirely sure what I just read...
But then, reading the author's note... they're not entirely sure what they just wrote either - so at least we're all on the same page!
This is a The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) SamBucky fic. Because this is my blog, and I choose the fics. 😎😅
(Fandom notes: SamBucky is the name of a sexual and/or romantic relationship between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes from the MCU (Marvel movies etc.))
It's Thursday, it's still 2021, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
It's Thursday, we're still standing, and this is Dora Reads - so let's get some superhero-y, comics-y goodness!

It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, let's get some superhero-y, comics-y goodness!
Since it's October, and therefore a time for all things spooky and gothic (woohoo!) I thought I'd give you all a little taste of some horror fics.
Some of these are horror in that the specific piece of fanfiction is horror-based, and some of them are actually based on horror media/fandoms. OK? OK.
Oh, and they're all Queer af.
It's Thursday, it's October, this is Dora Reads, let's get some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
'Bucky’s knife skills are like a well-choreographed dance, smooth and dangerous and beautiful. He moves like water, the knife a true extension of his arm, and it’s all Sam can do not to let his mouth drop open like a goddamn cartoon character.'
To the surprise of probably no-one by this point, I'm here to rec you some more The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) - specifically, more SamBucky.
(Look, the inside of my head is essentially a big ball of tangled spaghetti, the confusion of which is relieved by the presence of various fictional characters, who have taken their spots rent-free, and who fight each other for dominance.
Right now, Sam and Bucky are winning. 😅)
(Fandom Notes:
SamBucky is a romantic and/or sexual relationship between Sam and Bucky. Hence the name, lol.)
It's Thursday, the UK has entered the 'fuel shortage' stage of whatever apocalyptic media it is that we're currently inhabiting, let's get some superhero-y comics-y goodness!
