Fic Pimpin'!

[sakon76]

So I've now seen Avengers twice, which puts me lagging far behind my-cousin-the-budding-film-director, but hey, it's what he hopes to be making someday.

Still, somehow it feels like there were more good Avengers movie fics coming out before the movie than there have been since. Part of that is maybe that the film was so good, it leaves writers (we who are notorious for latching onto gaps and spackling them over with words) little to say. And part of it is that fanfic writers haven't had nearly as long to write after having seen the film as they did before seeing the film.

So, while finding some good Avengers movie fics, there haven't yet been enough to sate my cravings.

This is where hoshikage comes in with her story Aftermath, which feels like a very natural continuation of the setup at the end of the film. None of the shoehorning-them-all-into-the-comics-setup so many authors are falling back on. I actually cringe at reading many otherwise fine authors' versions of Thor, because he's not the movie Thor. hoshikage nails his voice, and all of their voices, and... enough words from me, because they fail to convey how much I love her writing and this piece in specific. Go read it!

D'aww, I'm blushing!

Also, this part? Part of that is maybe that the film was so good, it leaves writers (we who are notorious for latching onto gaps and spackling them over with words) little to say. SO TRUE. Thus, the cheating and setting it after some totally unrelated battle. :P

Have you tried the "Archuve of Our Own"? I found that there is a good selection of stories for the Avengers over there, with a lot of other fandoms as well.
