Last week I brought you a The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) mission fic, this week it's the turn of The Umbrella Academy (TUA).
Even though we barely see any actual missions in the TUA series, because the Academy is more-or-less defunct by the time we properly pick up the story, mission fics are still a fave of this fandom.
It's Thursday, this is Dora Reads, so let's get some comics-y, superhero-y goodness!

We enter through a gate and a set of stone steps made over a hundred years ago for people with feet as small as mine.
'...he’s able to slink into a shadowed Pottery Barn. He makes it past the faint light cast from the skylights in the atrium, then the pain crashes over him.'
I love a good mission fic.
Especially when it's a The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) mission fic.
Especially when it's a TFATWS mission fic with much Bucky whump and lots of hurt/comfort.
And it was my birthday on Wednesday, so I get exactly what I want 😜😘

'The great fairy incident of 1822 was depicted in many paintings, the most famous of them being The Seelie Siege of London by an unknown painter with a penchant for alliteration.'
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke is a behemoth of a book.
It's over 1000 pages of alternate history, set in a world where the titular characters are bringing magic back to England, against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.
