Friday Fics Fix - 4 Fics Where The Author Got Really Creative

 

You know I love, love, love it when fic authors get creative!

Isn't there something just so beautiful about taking that source material and just running with it?! Like it's not bound by the confines of the material that created it? Like it has a life and an essence that goes beyond one single medium?

Living art, dearest nerdlets. Living art.

I haven't rec'd a The Umbrella Academy (TUA) fic in a while.

Aside from rec-lists, I haven't rec'd TUA since September.

...That's probably a record for me.

Warning: this post talks about sensitive topics, including the current conflict in the Middle East, genocide, and the Holocaust

It was Holocaust Memorial Day yesterday (27th January) and one thing needs to be said to honour that: genocide is bad.

No matter who the intended victims are, no matter who the perpetrators are, genocide is bad.

Friday Fics Fix - We All Know Where This Is Going

 

 

'It’s just that Bucky has spent his entire life trying to fulfill obligations — for the war, for Steve, for HYDRA — and now that he feels like he can make his own choices, he doesn’t know what to do.'

Bucky's bored.

He's really bored. Like - he needs hobbies. Badly. Preferrably ones with minimal interactions with people because are so... people-y.

Same, Bucky. Same. People are too people-y.
