'Dave was probably never going to get answers out of Klaus, but for right now, he was the designated ‘Coax Hargreeves out for Meals’ guy, so he was going to do his job.'

'“We’re having a game night. A family game night. Because that’s what families do.”
“It is?” Vanya asked.
“Since when?” Five said at almost exactly the same time.'

Friday Fics Fix - Witches Loving Witches
'Ginny started to laugh. The Death Eater stopped walking. He was speaking angrily now, growling or snarling something.'
Argh, how do I explain this week's fic?!?!
Well, for a start, it turns out good F/F fics are like buses - nothing for ages, then they come along one after the other.

Friday Fics Fix - Some Happy Super-Sapphics For #LesbianVisibilityWeek
'“Nobody’s going to bother you if you’re sitting with us,” she promised. “I mean, they’ll probably say plenty, but Alex has this look that I swear could kill a man.”'
This week marks the first Lesbian Visibility Week an awesomely inclusive campaign to celebrate and support Queer people who ID as Lesbian, and Queer women in general.
So I figured fanfiction is Gay af, but also has some work to do when it comes to Queer girls (male Queer people and relationships tend to be written about more.)
So what better than to rec a fic this week which celebrates Lesbians and Queer girls?

Friday Fics Fix - The Self-Care Fanfic Rec-List
Fanfiction is a fab form of self-care (which I know I've said more than once, but that's because it's true!)
And seeing as how:
a) we could all do with all the self-care we can get atm...
and b) I have written a lot of fanfiction posts over the years...
I figured I'd take a look over my blog archives, and select some of the most useful fics for self-care.
(Side-note: looking through my archive is super-weird!)

Friday Fics Fix - Three Hearts
'“Hey, He-Who-Lurks-Creepily-in-Corners,” Tony said. “You want a smoothie? You need to replace all the stuff you lost earlier.”'
Amongst the shippers of the MCU, there are many ships on which to sail.
(Yes, I'm talking Avengers again - I know, I've kind of been alternating between Avengers and Umbrella Academy lately, but they're the fics I've found that are worth recc'ing *shrugs* what's a nerdgirl to do?)

Month In Review(s) - March 2020
(Warning: This post discusses Coronavirus/Covid 19 (b/c March 2020) and related stuff like lockdown and Anxiety)
...Maybe the first rule of March 2020, is that we don't talk about March 2020.
But then, I'd totally break that rule in half and throw the pieces in the air like confetti anyways, so here we are!
