<blockquote>Rey is XO of a piece of junk, her captain is a foul-mouthed Wookiee who doesn’t respect people who respect authority, and there are pictures of naked people glued to the ceiling of the Falcon. She honestly couldn't be more thrilled.</blockquote> ➤ soooo apparently this fic is EVERYTHING I NEVER KNEW I WANTED after the movie. goddamn.

<blockquote>When I was a very small child my Aunt Semele was struck by lightning and died.</blockquote> ➤ HOLY CRAP this fic is good. also I don't have the right feelings tag for it and don't know what the correct feeling is to describe how the fic made me feel. Feelings are hard. ➤ also bonus A+ commentary: http://amo.dreamwidth.org/228448.html

<blockquote>There are too many Elaines in the lab.</blockquote> ➤ holy crap I am SO INTO THIS FIC

<blockquote>“Jane, you’re an astrophysicist, not a storm chaser,” said Erik Selvig, and he was wrong. She was just an astrophysicist too. (A Jane Foster character study)</blockquote> ➤ oh my god this is everything

<blockquote>By this point, Dorothy was my doctor. Let me be more specific. She was the geriatric specialist who was evaluating me. On Mars. I was in for what I thought was a routine check-up to make sure I was still fit to be an astronaut. NASA liked to update its database periodically and I liked to be in that database. Not that I’d flown since I turned fifty, but I kept my name on the list in the faint hope that they would let me back into space again, and I kept going to the darn check-ups. Our previous doctor had retired back to Earth, and I’d visited Dorothy’s offices three times before she mentioned Kansas and the prairie.</blockquote> ➤ THANKS FOR MAKING ME CRY. Wow what a good story

<blockquote>Bucky becomes Natasha. Natasha becomes the Winter Soldier.</blockquote> ➤ I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. THIS IS SO GOOOOOOOOOD

<blockquote>Fuyumi can read between the lines of Mako’s file. The justification for having Mako on the base is paper thin -- strings have been pulled and favours have been bartered, and somewhere along the line someone decided Fuyumi was the perfect combination of talent and expendability to be brought into this mess. It’s only slightly closer to a compliment than an insult -- the balance tipped by the child at the centre of this, nine years old and heart-breakingly brave.    -- Scenes from the year after Stacker and Mako first meet.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Angela was stalking herself. She was packing for Japan and she had better things to worry about than doppelgangers, so she was trying to pretend her self wasn't there. She thought she would probably need one pair of formal shoes, but she couldn't decide whether she should pack the new fancy shoes—which were beautiful and appropriate, but untried—or the old stalwart black peeptoes. They were a little manky, but they had seen her through May Balls and medsoc dinners alike. "Bring both," said her old self. Her old self could not enter the room without Angela's permission. She hovered at the window, peering in. Angela was not going to invite her in. It was a cold night, but the dead don't feel the cold. "I'm travelling light," said Angela. She set the new shoes down and picked up the old pair. What did it matter if they were scuffed? They had never let her down before. "I'm not bringing you also. All the more I shouldn't be bringing extra shoes." "What lah, not bringing me," said her old self. "I'm part of you what."</blockquote> ➤ Zen Cho ilu and everything you write

<blockquote>The eerie thing about Paige Adolpha wasn’t just that she turned up right when I was reading about her in the paper. It wasn’t her fame as the star witness in the big local werewolf trial. What brought on the gooseflesh, first time I saw her, was that she was the spitting image of her murdered sister. Identical twins, you know?</blockquote> ➤ Canadian lesbian werewolf SJ fiction? Yes please!

<blockquote>Tony Stark doesn't need to be safe, sane, and consensual. He has JARVIS instead.</blockquote>

<blockquote>an utterly self-indulgent crossover that got entirely out of hand</blockquote> ➤ sldkfjhdflksdjjfd look this is one of those fics that just STAYS IN MY BRAIN because of how true and perfect and right and wonderful it is. YESSSSS. I am so glad this fic exists.

➤ on issues of race in the movies author's note: "This isn't really fic, it's stupid meta speculation disguised as fic"

➤ OH MY GOD. Starts off hilarious and adorable and just sort of invisibly slides into this kind of harrowing and tragic (but still also hilarious and adorable!) depiction of the suckiness of life on Atlantis for everyone involved.

<blockquote>"Always sounded like balderdash to me. Substituting the satisfaction of your libido with something supposedly more acceptable, rather than just going for what you really want—where's the fun in that?"</blockquote> author's notes: <blockquote>This is slash, but the sex is het. Yeah, I don't know. Blame Napoleon.</blockquote>
