shallownessI'd normally post about The West Wing today, but the rugby interrupted my viewing schedule (thank you, Scotland). I've written a first draft of my thoughts about the last two eps I watched, but I want to listen to the podcast before I edit and post them. I suppose I should also note that the news about the release of Black Widow doesn't make much difference to me - hopefully, I'll get to see it on DVD at some juncture, like Mulan and WW1984. I was sad to hear that Jessica Walters, who gave us Lucille Bluth, has passed away.
Anyway, here are some fanfiction recs.
MCU
half a yellow sun: philthestone (Gamora, Michelle Jones, Peter Quill, Gamora/Peter, teen)
Really enjoyed this as a character piece, but the contrast between the scale of her just waiting on a bench and what they were facing unfurled wonderfully (it's set at the start of Inifinty War and is based on the trailer, I believe, and maybe a few of the details are a litte too handwavey, though it lso points out that canon had enough of a job in bringing characters from a shared universe together, but it's worth it for the character work and Gamora and Michelle interacting.
Possession
Marra Tivvit: mayhap (Randolph/Christobel)
This missing scene sickfic is rich and authentic to the book.
The Secret Garden
The Witch of the Moor: vialethe (Mary + Selfishness + her people)
Fierce ficlet!
Star Trek - The Next Generation
The Queen of Air and Darkness: raspberryhunter (post 'First Contact', Troi, the Borg Queen, Guinan)
This story just grew and grew in force for me. So interesting, so much going on, and expressed so aptly. (And I know this feels like a generic note, but if I started talking specifics, I'd get rambly/spoilery.)
Tam Lin (Pamela Dean)
Youth’s a stuff will not endure: sinkauli (Robin introspection, background canonical relationships)
I greatly appreciated seeing things from Robin's perspective, from his past to the future. The tone of the piece and the register of the witing were spot on.
