Fandom: The Avengers

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Natasha Romanoff/James “Bucky” Barnes

Summary: The Algerian War spills over the streets of Paris, and the KGB's best assets have been sent to pour fuel into the fire. Posing as the ideal married couple--young, beautiful, and nauseatingly in love--the Black Widow and the Winter Soldier must prevent the Algerian Peace Envoy from ending the conflict. Unknown and overlooked in a foreign country, away from the ever-looming threat of their handlers, they take a moment. Resume their affair.

how long was tbolts supposed to last? Cause this would be a good time to eject him from that team once and for all and GIVE HIM A SOLO TITLE WORTH MY MONEY.

No no, that’s not dramatic. That’s a valid response. Hopefully we’ll get a woman writing? Or like, someone who thinks women are people at least.

It really does.

I know! It's on my list. Will watch as some point. I have had no contact w/ the RC fandom. I liked the first book. Struck me as particularly good YA fiction. Will let you know about the rest.

YOU DO THAT. report back bc i am genuinely intrigued. 

also my dude. my dude. there are 71 episodes of critical role. they are each at least three hours long. now i practically failed high school maths but like. that is A Lot of content. there is a new one every week.

I had the same initial impression. I just finished the first book and have begun the second. The characters are awesome, the female character(s)--plural, the majority of them secondary but for the main character, Blue--take no shit, the boys are nuanced and believable 17-18 year olds. The magic in it is sometimes so low-key you forget you're reading urban fantasy. Also there are copious references to arthurian lore & welsh myth, the books are structured as mysteries.

yeah idk, i’ve mostly heard nothing but scorn for the whole thing, but whether that’s directed at the fandom rather than the text i don’t know. also i tend to travel in pretty scorn-filled circles anyway. i, myself, am composed of at least 60% scorn.

so i remain unswayed. if i want tarot card & arthurian lore nonsense, i generally reread susanna clarke’s stuff tbh. i will probably read them at some point, when i don’t have a to-read list 30 pages long. i am open to being convinced tho.
