More recs

Dear Brits, I would say you have my sympathy for the Orange Menace landing on your shores in a few days, except that you actually just had his spiritual twin resigning, whereas in our current political grotesque the German equivalent of Johnson in selfishness and destroying-the-country-for-career-purposes resigned from his resignation and wasn’t fired from the cabinet to much of Germany’s regret, either. Also, World Cup. So really, go you! But do make every second of the Orange Menace’s stay as hellish for him as possible.

Fictional apocalyptic scenarios are so much easier to deal with than much of the globe being on a self-destruct as well as others-destruct course, of course, so to the safety of fiction I go and bring more recs:

Jessica Jones
(And also Daredevil and Avengers):

Hurt my knuckles punching the machines: what the tv Marvel crowd did after Infinity War happened, Jessica and Matt centric, but with roles for everyone. No Luke Cage s2 spoilers, since the story, which has just finished, was begun before LC s2 dropped.


So in my recent MCU ramblings I wished, among other things, for stories featuring Nick Fury and one or several of the Avengers that took into consideration how he actually interacts with them, and lo, here‘s this beauty of a vignette featuring Nick and Tony post Civil War:

Let the earth leave you for an hour

Buffy:

Better than being a hero Buffy and Dawn, in an achingly beautiful take on the relationship between the sisters.


X-Men:

Westchester, Redux

Erik and Charles post X-Men: Apocalypse, Erik‘s pov.
