You almost had your hooks in me, didn’t you, dear?

Cbr16 Bingo: Part 2 19A by Toyourdetriment “Emotional availability is a skill. You, particularly you, can decide to learn it, if you want to.” In spite of the tone, it hits like a backhand to the jaw. He has learned bedside manner for a given definition of empathy. Allowed methodical and unsparing trauma therapists to rake him over the hot coals of his childhood for a decade. He is, in short, an entire and convincing machine of a person, whose inner child definitely wants to […]

Emotions are Difficult, an Alternative Title to this SamBucky Fanfic Series

Questionable Communication Skills series by Abhorsenbranwen

December 18, 2021 by faintingviolet 8 Comments

I have kept up with the fanfic habit I gained in 2020, although I have slowed down a bit, partly because my ability to focus on traditionally published books has increased, and partly because I have not been keeping up with one of the television shows that fed most of my 2020 consumption. But one of the wonderful things about fanfic is there is so bloody much of it that whatever small thought might be scratching at the back of your mind, or story thread […]

February 15, 2021 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

As you can probably guess from the title, this is a Harry Potter/Avengers crossover.  Now, I read a lot of fanfiction, and I go through them fairly quickly.  I’m not in the habit of writing reviews on the actual works, let alone 250+ words on Cannonball (I know, bad habit).  But this one deserves it!  (Also, it’s not smutty!) After the death of Sirius, Harry receives a delayed […]
