Friday Fics Fix - Challenging My Golden Fic Rule...

 

Warning: this post discusses mental health problems

'Ed is happy, Stede is happy, the crew is happy. Izzy stands on the sidelines with rope in his hands, watching them all mingle and play. No one seems to notice the shadows under his eyes, how they grow darker, how the purple bruise-like colour seems permanently inked onto his skin these days.'

 

 

Every so often, a fic comes along which challenges my golden rule of fanfic-rec'ing.

And the golden rule is, of course: If it's well-written, I must rec.

It's Thursday, life is stressful, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

Nerd Church - I’d Love To Have A Cat’s Self-Confidence

 

Originally published on Medium

This started with a prompt, and then meandered far, far, away from the original idea… 😅

Prompt set by Dr. Casey Lawrence on Medium:


“ The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are stronger at the broken places.”

— Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms: Library Edition [x]

Friday Fics Fix - Lila, Klaus, and Ghosties

Now everyone is staring at Klaus, who had chosen to pick at a thread on the shawl he’s wearing. He looks up in the following silence, smiling.

“What can I say, the fans love me.”

 

I'm currently reading The Umbrella Academy (TUA) fanfiction like there's no tomorrow... which given the current state of the world is a possibility, but let's move on...

So, I'm heavy on the TUA fanfics-reading at the moment.

...Especially the ones that play around with my favourite, fandom-specific, tropes.

This is a reminder to any of you fellow writers/bloggers/whoever-s out there who need it:

You don't have to publish everything.

Friday Fics Fix - Because I Said So

 

'Daniel tips his head back with a sigh. “Okay, so you stole something. What.”

There’s a pause, and then. “I believe it might have been… jewels of some kind.”'

 

Every now and then I like to rec a fic from a show called Stargate: SG-1.

This is a sci-fi TV show that ran from '97 to '07, and which still has fanfic authors writing new material, because fandom love never dies 😅
