Friday Fics Fix - Five Hargreeves Is Ruminating, OK?
'Viktor’s book was informative. But there are still things Five now understands himself not knowing.'
I haven't rec'd a The Umbrella Academy (TUA) fic in a while.
But I've still been reading some, obviously.
So, yeah, this week's offering for your humble perusal (lol) is a TUA fic.

Month In Review(s) - June 2023
June was too damned hot.
I hate the heat - I'm not built for it.
Ugh. It sucks.
Also, the mountain fires are apparently releasing heavy metals, like lead, from the vegetation, due to Wales' past status as lightly smouldering industrial wasteland.
It's potentially getting into the water supply. Fun times.
...On the plus side, maybe the English won't want our water now. (No, I'm not explaining that one - Google 'Wales water exports,' and once you've done that, Google 'Tryweryn'.)

Friday Fics Fix - Clint Barton Has No Coffee
'The coffee is gone.
"No," Clint whispers, staring at the counter where he left it. "What the... is it... coffee burglar?"'
I would like the record (there's a record, right? Sure, let's say there's a record,) to show that I'm not actually a big fan of time-loop tropes.
...Which you wouldn't think, given how often I rec. them, but there we are!
(All of which is to say that this week's fic is a time-loop fic.)
