Nerd Church - I’d Love To Have A Cat’s Self-Confidence

 


Originally published on Medium



This started with a prompt, and then meandered far, far, away from the original idea… 😅

Prompt set by Dr. Casey Lawrence on Medium:


“ The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are stronger at the broken places.”

— Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms: Library Edition [x]

Friday Fics Fix - Lila, Klaus, and Ghosties



Now everyone is staring at Klaus, who had chosen to pick at a thread on the shawl he’s wearing. He looks up in the following silence, smiling.

“What can I say, the fans love me.”

I'm currently reading The Umbrella Academy (TUA) fanfiction like there's no tomorrow... which given the current state of the world is a possibility, but let's move on...

So, I'm heavy on the TUA fanfics-reading at the moment.

...Especially the ones that play around with my favourite, fandom-specific, tropes.

Friday Fics Fix - Because I Said So

 



'Daniel tips his head back with a sigh. “Okay, so you stole something. What.”

There’s a pause, and then. “I believe it might have been… jewels of some kind.”'

Every now and then I like to rec a fic from a show called Stargate: SG-1.

This is a sci-fi TV show that ran from '97 to '07, and which still has fanfic authors writing new material, because fandom love never dies 😅
