    Listen To Your Heart (No!) by

    Fandoms: Moon Knight (TV 2022), Marvel Cinematic Universe  

    21 Nov 2022

    Summary

    One month after Marc Spector crawled inside an Egyptian temple and Jake Lockley walked out, Jake tracks down Layla El-Faouly and offers to help her take revenge and avenge her father. Jake is sure this is how flirting works. Pretty sure.

    It's easy to fall in love with a badass protector of the night. It's a little harder to fall in love with Jake Lockley, your everyday assassin. And there's no way Layla El-Faouly could ever fall in love with Marc and Steven. There's no way they will ever meet.

    Three acts on the subject of heartbreak.

      “I want you to have the things you want,” Jake said helplessly. It was the only words he could think of, or maybe the only words he knew how to say. “I don’t want you to want something and never have it.”

      very interesting. I'll have to come back to this later-- i don't think I really got what the final shot was meant to convey. two hours of calc will do that to you i suppose. either way, the writing was clear and concise, with obvious deeper shit going on, and I liked the way Joan was written.

    Lightning from a clear sky by

    Fandoms: Gor Chronicles - John Norman  

    14 Sep 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    A goddess of mercy hears a plea for justice, and sends her champion to a world with neither mercy or justice. Systlin is appalled by what she finds, but she's used to standing like a rock and making the world change around her. A reckoning comes to Gor, and there isn't a goddamned thing any of the fucking fucks on Gor can do about it.
    Systlin is my own OC from my original work. Is she overpowered? Probably but you can't stop me. Look me in the eyes, Goreans and John Norman. I'm the captain of this ship now.
    EDIT; apparently this has spawned several other fics where ridiculously OP female protags get thrown onto Gor and react with gratuitous violence, and may I just say; I'm so proud of all of you.
    I fucking told you, John Norman. I'm the captain of this ship now.

      Basic summary, there’s this book called the Chronicles of Gor, where a mild-mannered college professor (OG author’s self insert) gets isekaid into what I can only describe as ‘Game of Thrones but the objectionable treatment of women is the main point of the story, and also dialed up so far the dial broke.’
      But the actual FIC is this author’s badass female OC (and, later, her wifeguy husband and also her girlfriend) beating the everloving shit out of all the sexists, forming a successful empire, and hanging out with a bunch of kickass women.
      It’s a love letter to female empowerment, in a ‘graphically murder your abusers’ way, and it’s FULL of angry women.
      The worldbuilding done by the fic author is incredibly interesting too? Not only are there really well thought out depictions of managing a fantasy empire, there’s also this entire subtext thing going on with clothes, and it’s so subtle you barely notice it until you suddenly realize that you have just so much working knowledge about how women are expected to dress in this society.

    Summary

    He doesn't know who to blame anymore, who's at fault at the root of everything. It's Dad. It's Mom. It's Mary, and it's John. It's Dean, at the end of the day. What do the roots matter when the tree is on fire? 

    "I don't want to be the Dean you wanted me to be," Dean tells her quietly. 

    Mary swallows. "Don't worry, you're not." 

    "What's he like? That Dean." 

    "Just like you." 

    "Then what's the difference?" 

    "He never lost his mom."

    Flipping Legacies by

    12 Aug 2022

    Tags
    Summary

    When Natasha gets bored, she goes to Gotham and sees how long she can last before Batman finds her and kicks her out. It's simple. It's fun. It's harmless.

    At least, it was simple until she practically trips over the teenage assassin whipping Gotham's underworld into shape. Then she's spending far too long figuring out which new child-assassin-making organization she has to murder messily.

     

    "And all of a sudden, she understands what Clint saw when he’d flipped her. It’s an undefinable thing in all the languages she knows: something between terror and anger, salt-the-earth kind of vengeance, but it’d be okay if some of the blood poisoning the soil if their own. A boiling resentment, resigned, desperate, full of terror, furious, and--

     

    --and a crushing, insidious, hateful piece of hope.

     

    Natasha smiles to herself. Coulson flipped Clint. Clint flipped her. Time to continue the legacy."

    Summary

    Natalia is stacking blocks very carefully when the adults come into the room. None of them look at her, because they're all looking at her father. He's wearing combat gear, and the hair on the left side of his head is slicked back with blood. He smells like smoke and something unnameable, sweet and dark and a little sickly in her nose.

    Father is saying, “Don't be ridiculous. The only thing children are good at is disobeying.”

    Summary

    The first time Cassandra speaks to Batman, it's in the language David Cain taught her. The way bodies speak is simple. Cassandra watches Bruce Wayne go, and thinks that people are not.

    She goes back to Barbara. "I want," she says, and stops. She doesn't know the words for what she wants.

    There's a story Cassandra heard once, about a boy made out of wood. He wanted something like this, too.

    -

    there are a lot of steps in between being a weapon and being a person.
    Cassandra Cain becomes Batgirl. Batgirl becomes Cass Wayne. Cass isn't sure what it means, to be a person, and Batman isn't very good at teaching that. luckily Bruce has a protege or five to help her figure it out.

    Summary

    Katara steals four more lessons that week. Four more boys around her age who know the forms but don’t know the desperation of a true fight. They are bad at anticipating her movements and her decisions because Katara will never have the luxury of learning the way they did. She fights dirty, not fair, and their pride doesn’t let them understand that they’re in over their heads until it’s too late.

    They leave her scrapes and bruises and cuts that fuel her healing sessions. When those are done, she goes back to their suite and resumes putting together a combat bending style from stolen pieces and her experience in the wider world.

    The Calamity is gone. The remaining leaders of Hyrule gather for a Summit to determine the future of the kingdom, starting with how to repurpose all the Sheikah Technology. Zelda is among them, and while everyone still calls her Princess, she’s not sure she wants to lay claim to an old throne. What she really wants is to move on. She wants to continue her research, to prove her worth beyond her bloodline, and to spend as much time with Link as she can…which sounds an awful lot like what she wanted a hundred years ago…

    (Or, a lot of change happens in between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Let’s fill in the gaps.)

    All Clark Kent wants is to get the bottom of the recent municipal dumping scandal, find out why Batman has taken to lurking around the Metropolis sewers, and help everyone he possibly can.

    All Lois Lane wants is to track down $65 million worth of missing art, determine why the theft has put the Gotham mob in such a tizzy, and figure out what her weirdo ex-boyfriend is up to.

    No one knows what Bruce Wayne wants, which is its own issue.
