Friday Fics Fix - Draco the Writer. Harry the Reader.
'“You keep writing books about Harry!”
Every rational thought left Draco as dread filled his stomach. There was no way that Weasley had figured it out.'
There are some things that you just don't know you need in your life...
...like Draco Malfoy writing novels about how much he yearns for Harry Potter, but nobody getting that that's what he's writing about.
...And then Ron being the only one to figure it out and no-one believing him.

Nerd Church - How Do We Decide When To Forgive?
Whether you're director James Gunn, YouTuber Jeffree Star, politician Boris Johnson, or the Archdruid of the Gorsedd*, you've made mistakes in your past (or present.)
Lord knows I've made plenty of mistakes in my life. And I'm guessing you have too, dearest nerdlets.
We're human, after all.
*What, you guys don't have an Archdruid?!?! Welp, Welsh people do. 😅
But how do we decide when someone is worthy of our forgiveness?
How do we decide who is forgiven and who isn't? Do we have double-standards?

Friday Fics Fix - Whose Shield Are You?
'“Ruby was dangerous and it got complicated and that is just the way it was.” Exploded Fitz, trying so desperately to keep calm but feeling his control slipping away. “So I’m sorry if it doesn’t fit with-” Fitz took a breath as his voice thickened and broke, begging for tears not to fall out of frustration, “whatever narrative that you’ve built for yourself.”'
One of the biggest plusses of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, for me at least, is Leopold Fitz.
Played to a point nearing perfection by Iain De Caestecker, Agent Fitz has gone through pretty much any sh** that this series has to throw at him.
And this series has had a large supply of sh** to throw at him.
