the year(s) in review
Happy New Year everyone! I spent it playing Civ6 while my cats dozed. Living large, I tell you...
I wrote precisely one (1) thing in 2021, a snippet for Freezer Burn that features my first Tony POV for the series. It wasn't from lack of desire or lack of interest in writing. I desperately want to write, but I'm sorta between fandoms and I've never been productive in those periods. I am a canon whore and need something to respond to, even if it's to go "yeah, that was dumb and we're going to massage the stupidity away like a cramp."
That said, I did spend a little time in 2021 working on Qui Habitat and, twelve-plus years after I started it, I know how it ends! I have outlined ten chapters and am kind of dithering hitting the point where I have to kill people because most of the ones who are going to die are my OCs and I know you have to kill your darlings but still. It will essentially be final deaths for all of them and that will hurt a little after all this time.
In lieu of having any kind of 2021 fic review, I collected a few random older fics that mostly flew under the radar at the time and I still love:

In lieu of having any kind of 2021 fic review, I collected a few random older fics that mostly flew under the radar at the time and I still love:
2020: Entrainment (The Old Guard): Nile in the aftermath.
2019: Particle of Light (Captain Marvel): Maria Rambeau returns to life, too.
2017: Entail (Star Wars): Leia, Luke, Ahsoka, and the definition of family.
2017: Novitiate (Daredevil): Karen Page earns her byline.
2012: Mobius (Star Trek AOS): Christopher Pike and the Kirks
2010: Bad Apple Blues (Justified): Fruit of the poison tree. And arugula.
