Admin Post: Fanfic Friday weekly post for 7/12/2019
Jul. 12th, 2019 08:50 amHello and welcome to the weekly post for Friday, July 12th, 2019. I'm afraid most of my fanfic reading was in tumblr this week and I never got a hang of saving the links for sharing on here, but I do have a couple of stories I read previously that I didn't share because I had already posted a bunch that week. Hopefully some of you will make up for that by replying with multiple stories in the comments to this post, hint hint!

Steve pauses.
“Back at the beginning, I guess.”
[Bucky, Steve, gender, memory]
This one I did read this week, and is an interesting take on kidfic. 3 year old Peter is neither presented as the cause of them getting back together or a barrier to their relationship, but as a kid and part of a package deal with Tony. Whether or not he liked Steve was presented as a factor in how Tony dealt with Steve but Peter didn't instantly take to him as a new dad, and liked or not the stress of introducing a new person into their home in a stressful situation was addressed.
Does the sun shine (during lock down)? (9629 words) by HogwartsToAlexandria
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Iron Man (Movies), Captain America (Movies), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary:
The last thing Tony expects when he wakes up that day is the very thing he finds in Pepper's office, or rather, the very person.
Old flames do they ever really die down? Maybe not, but does Tony have the luxury to find out when he has to think about Peter's well-being first and foremost?
Or when Pepper is worried, makes a decision, and Tony's life spins on its axis, once again.
and might as well round this off with another MCU fic right? Its a light fun one, where Sam is Captain America, Bucky is an Avenger, and Steve is Bucky's boyfriend.

Summary:
"Post-action tacos?” Tony suggested. “I’m thinking that place by Fordham. BattleBot, you in?”
“Can’t,” the Soldier said, typing something into his phone. “I have a date.”
Tony stopped talking for an entire three seconds. “You. Have a date.”
The Soldier looked up and blinked, clearly nonplussed to find Sam and Tony both staring at him. “Yes.”
“With who?”
“My boyfriend.”
“You have a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend?” Tony looked like he’d just walked into a lamppost, and then the lamppost had handed him a birthday present.
Bookmarker's Notes:If more people could remember that Steve is a tactical expert and not just a hand to hand fighter with a doom frisbee I would appreciate it

Rating: General Audiences

Relationships: Anne Lister & Crowley (Good Omens), Anne Lister (1791-1840)/Ann Walker (1803-1854), Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Characters: Crowley (Good Omens), Anne Lister (1791-1840), Aziraphale (Good Omens), Ann Walker (1803-1854), Hastur (Good Omens)
Additional Tags: Goth Gay Friends
Summary:
Crowley has always been very impressed by the sheer bloody nerve of Miss Anne Lister, beginning with that night she trounced him (and half of the 33rd) in a round of cards at some lodging house in Halifax.
I've just finished Good Omens and am working my way through Gentleman Jack. This is a cool crossover between the two, expanding a scene where Anne is playing cards in the pub and gets dragged out, with an additional character. Both this and the companion piece take the best of both shows and run with them.

Summary:
In which Alec woos Max with heists.
I am almost scared to go back and watch Dark Angel as I'm fairly sure it'll be much worse than I remember it, so instead I'm going to read a bunch of fics. This is one of the first I've read but probably won't be the last.no subject

Summary:
Of the many people capable of carrying the fate of the universe on their shoulders by travelling back in time, Loki would have been the first choice of exactly nobody. With no allies, no plan and nobody on his side, Loki will just have to wing it.
Or: That awkward moment when you've completed your redemption arc, but nobody else got the memo.
still a WIP but I like it so far. I feel the author has a good grip on characterization.

Summary:
Highschool is a trying time for pretty much everyone. But it definitely is when you're dealing with an abusive family at home, an eating disorder, championships, and the Prefect of the House of Ravens is trying to emotionally blackmail you into...well, anything he damn well wants. (An Augus and Gwyn story that needs absolutely no understanding of previous canon/content to read).
also a WIP. heavy on the angst.

Date: 2019-07-15 06:02 am (UTC)Hard to say, off the top of my head having an able bodied actor playing a wheelchair user who iirc is hung up on walking again has some potential problems but I don't remember anything glaringly Problematic by today's pov. The pulse or whatever they called it saves it from some of the jaring "why are they using CRTs in the future?" stuff you sometimes get with Sci-fi.
