I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Not a fandom I've ever been into, old or reboot.

If I squint I can see that, but I'm having a hard time seeing Kirk being full of self-loathing. But again, I'm not in that fandom and haven't given it a lot of thought, even though I'm aware of the K/S.

The other thing I like about a lot of the S/T fic is that Pepper is continuously awesome. I don't know if that's because it's canon that she breaks up with him, so it's not a matter of writing her out maliciously to make room for the authors OTP, or that she is just generally well-liked.

But also, the cheeseburgers and the classic rock. Now I want a D/C Avengers AU.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The magic of fanfic is that someone has always thought of any given them that way.

I've read psychologically interchangeable Kirk/Spock, Arthur/Eames, Dean/Castiel, and John/Sherlock that matches the fairly little Tony/Steve of which I have partaken. Some are more alcoholic than others, some "alien" is more metaphorical, some literal, but at the end the he's-too-good-for-me-while-I-hide-emo-with-bravado and the I'm-buttoned-down-and-out-of-place-here-but-I-have-feelings-too can be manipulated a number of ways.

But do they have AC/DC shirts, is the real question.

(But, yeah, I figured there had to be some universal trope involved).

Dana should get many props for making this happen.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I love Poly Rec updates! Thank you both.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yay! And I really like the re-design.

I'm sorry--shrift commenting on Dean/Castiel really jiggers my world-view.
