Yes! I am interested to see where they are going but I do not have faith that I will be pleased to get there.

One of my questions is who are the people in the camps? Because I get the sense that at least some of them are people who didn't get dusted, and then after Endgame, the original owners of their homes came back and evicted them? Because Karli keeps talking about how things were better during the Blip: she's representing the ones who didn't go away. But those people are less likely to have been dispossessed or turned into refugees than returnees would be.
I admit I want to read some thoughtful fanfiction about the bureaucratic & legal hurdles of handling the returnees.

Consuela, I agree, they seem to be implying that dustees were privileged over survivors, which is interesting.
Watching YouTube breakdowns (in the absence of live humans to discuss this with) I've discovered that a disease-based subplot was erased once the pandemic started, and both Mama Donya and Nagel scenes were erased/altered because of that. Maybe that's part of what made this episode feel off. On the whole I judge work based on what I see, not what was behind the scenes, but it makes me feel better to know there may actually have been a reason.
Um... possibly spoilery for something no longer in the show? Anti-spoilery? "the earliest of plot leaks and speculation all shared in common the idea of some kind of device unleashing a pandemic across the populace ... Disney could be trying to get ahead of a potential disaster with rewriting and reshooting some of the series, with a heavy emphasis on the first couple episodes." [link]

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Honestly, the very idea of Sam Wilson, former rescue ops soldier, (basically former) Avenger, blowing his cover because he forgot to put his phone on silent is just sloppy fucking writing. This is not Three's Company.
And jaded art thief Sharon Carter just makes me desperately want a crossover with Leverage.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
sloppy fucking writing. This is not Three's Company.
THANK YOU. I am, on the whole, not best pleased with how Sam's storyline & characterization has been handled. I'm continuing to reserve final judgment, but they're on thin fucking ice right now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Help, please.
I am trying to find a piece of fanfic from several years ago. I thought I had it bookmarked, but can't find it.
It is Avengers fic, set not long after the first Avengers movie. A reporter gets embedded with the Avengers for a few days, to see how they live and work together in Stark tower. The twist at the end is that the reporter is Peter Parker.
Does that ring any bells for anyone?
I mentioned it to a friend, intending to send a link, but now I can't find it.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Teppy, it's actually a series!
