There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you -  and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.

To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.

au where tony doesnt die in endgame and we get to see his wedding would be a win-win situation cause marvel wants to see tony cry and we want to see him happy so why couldnt it have been happy tears from seeing his beautiful wife walking down the isle yall earned billions worldwide and still couldnt afford writers with some fucking balls huh

ironmanstan

helen cho is there and she sees beefy thor and dies on the spot, peter is arguing with harley over the morality of putting a child on a leash and harley saying “well technically its a web not a leash” and morgan escapes while theyre not paying attention to her

brunhilde is like ‘idk whos getting married here but i know who’ll be getting married a week from now’ the moment she zeroes in on carol danvers in a fitted suit and a sunshine smile to contrast her deadly obviously-a-trained-soldier posture

bucky is downing shots like theres no tomorrow cause he fucking swears he saw the fucking cake decoration groom wink at him twice and sam is getting lowkey worried about his bf

and loki is like ‘if i cause a heart attack while turned in a plastic figurine how fucking funny and evil would that be on a scale of one to ten’

and the ending scene is just steve unveiling a statue of natalia alianovna romanova to mark the opening of her own Smithsonian exhibit, ‘to a hero of shadows and savior of the world’ which ends in the camera panning over the scarce memorabilia they have of hers before stopping on a old sepia photograph of a busy street with “budapest” written underneath it which ends up being the opening scene + title card for the black widow movie

even though i used the concept for a horrible sex joke the idea of angels and demons not having/forgetting about certain body parts because they’re not usually visible is hilarious to me. its like how they cut corners on stuff for 3d modeling. they don’t have toes.

the book also says that Crowley “wills his clothes into being out of raw firmament”. It’s entirely possible Crowley is a nudist and just making it look like he’s wearing clothes.

an incomplete list of unsettling short stories I read in textbooks

  • the scarlet ibis
  • marigolds
  • the diamond necklace
  • the monkey’s paw
  • the open boat
  • the lady and the tiger
  • the minister’s black veil
  • an occurrence at owl creek bridge
  • a rose for emily
  • (I found that one by googling “short story corpse in the house,” first result)
  • the cask of amontillado
  • the yellow wallpaper
  • the most dangerous game
  • a good man is hard to find

some are well-known, some obscure, some I enjoy as an adult, all made me uncomfortable between the ages of 11-15

harkerling

We read lots of good disturbing shit in hs or in the writing groups I joined in hs but somehow the top of the heap for shit that haunted me’s still indisputably Ethan Canin’s “The Palace Thief”. It’s not horror as such but it freaked me the fuck out. 

There was another O. Henry short story we read that was also really alarming but I had to google a major spoiler (which is also a warning) to recall the name – “The Furnished Room”.

Crowley .. is like a cat, you know? he thinks he’s smart. he thinks he’s got life worked out. he thinks he’s cool, he’s on top. but he’s not, he’s small and silly and cute and he doesn’t know what he’s doing at any given moment, and sure he walks with the languid grace of a glass of water being poured on the pavement but if you knock him over suddenly he will fall over like a un-coordinated egg

The thing is the first time they go out together is in Rome when Aziraphale says “let me tempt you” (to lunch) and then corrects himself with, “oh, but that’s your job, isn’t it?” and Crowley is just taken aback and delighted because Aziraphale wants that. And then the last time we see them together Crowley says “let me tempt you” (to lunch, to love, to life) so warmly and confidently and Aziraphale just chirps “temptation accomplished!” with no hesitation and that’s closure, baby.
