with frequent dips into the Losers
Do you have any Loser recs for fic that's not on AO3. I've pretty much read everything on AO3 and I keep looking at ff.net, but then I keep running into bad fic.
I'm partial to Cougar/Jenson but I'd read anything that's good.
Blasphemer. There is no Dark Angel but Dark Angel.
Well, OK. It fills the same sort of secondary fandom hole as Dark Angel. Actually, you're largely right. There is no Dark Angel but Dark Angel.
I mean, Dark Angel filled a hole during the period of time where I was mainly doing Supernatural gen fic. Ship Almost All the Things! Canon Queer Characters! Post-Apocalyptic Goodness!
Push... I do not see how there was a fannish hole in my life. I have the MCU. I am so, so, SO Ship All the Things (except for Tony). I have Sam! I have Natasha! I have Rhodey! I have Nick! I have Steve! I have Maria! I have Bruce! I even have a Clint! I have Howard! I HAVE SO MUCH PEGGY THAT MY HEART OVERFLOWS AND IT BECOMES COMICAL!
But apparently, there may have been one? Hell if I know. All I know is, I watched it thinking, "eh, might as well, it's cheap." and then promptly read EVERYTHING I could find in the fandom that fit my needs, no matter the language, and then was so fucking excited that there were stories for it in Yuletide again that I went and read EVERYTHING AGAIN. Except the stuff in French on ff.net. I didn't re-read that.
And my brain comes up with so many ways to do horrible things to the characters because of the fact that fandom has fucking FAILED to do it. I mean, damn, fandom. Don't make my brain do this. My brain already got stuck on, "Why is there no fuck or die in this fandom?" and doesn't need to go to "A really effective way for Division to keep its power would be to send some Carver-level Pushers in to make the characters do things to their allies that are fucking awful then remove that push and then just let them fall apart." and then sexualize it.
And I can rec a Sherlock/Push fusion, if you're interested
Kinda curious.
[link] there's my underused Pinboard account. Mostly, I've been doing AO3 bookmarks, and mostly, failing to even do that much. Gotta get back in the habit.
Found it! The Wartime 'Verse [link]
And now I feel like a moron as it's the same author as Reach The Sea.
juliana, I'm glad you enjoyed Roses of Picardy. It really is a gem.
Plei, here's the series: Push!verse by Lindentreeisle. It's unfinished, unfortunately, and I doubt it'll ever be finished as the last installment was posted Sept. 2011.
Weirdly I think Agent Carter becoming a series has almost completely negated my urge to seek MCU fic - I'm getting almost everything I need on that front right on my TV screen, even if there's not any new interaction between Peggy and Steve. (Well, having had my fill of Tony Stark for this lifetime probably contributes too.)

Yeah, I suspect you're not the target audience for the Peggy Carter rebound femslash brigade.

Can't wait for the t-shirt!

Oh, the hours upon hours of chat!
Jilli, I'll post a few Hannigram (yes, that is the stupid portmanteau, and no they do not spell Graham correctly) stories shortly!

YOU HAVE CANONICAL MIND CONTROL THAT IS EYE CONTACT EASY. WHY DO YOU NOT USE IT FOR EVIL, PEOPLE? WHY?????
I dunno. Maybe they're all so skeeved by what they came out of the movie futureshipping? Possibly? Which is legit, 'cause so did I, but hey. There is nothing about that universe that is not vaguely creepy, so roll with it, peeps!
There is often an unfortunate trend with that kind of media to downplay it in fic. A lot of people aren't comfortable writing/reading/thinking about it.
For example, probably the creepiest thing I ever wrote was a Luther story where Alice Morgan kidnaps Ripley just before going to his death, and keeps him on a leash (a chemical rather than canine one) "for his own protection" because she thinks Luthor would prefer him alive. And even fans of Luther barely touched it. The kudos to hit count is hilariously uneven.
I didn't even know I had that level of creeper in me, but I still love that story.
