2012 Scrapbook
Think about the year that has passed. All the memories, the entries and posts that made the year special. Think about all your past layouts, default icons, mood themes. How about all those conversations you had via comments, or the huge post in ONTD that you spent all night commenting on. The 2012 Scrapbook Post is a way to help you remember all of that, in a single post.

Memorable Quotes
~ "We all can be only who we are, no more, no less." - Kahlan Amnell, Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind
~ "Life is a game in which the player must appear ridiculous." - Violet Crawley, Downton Abbey
~ "Not feeling anything is an attractive option when what you feel sucks." - Emma Swan, Once Upon a Time, episode 1.07
~ "I'd rather be a could-be if I can-not be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; far a might-have-been has never been, but a has was once an are." - Milton Berle
~ "I’m human, remember? We drive SUVs and we dump raw sewage into pretty lakes and we will burn this planet to the ground if it means just one more cheeseburger." - Kenzi, Lost Girl, episode 2.21
~ "All worthy work is open to interpretations the author did not intend. Art isn't your pet -- it's your kid. It grows up and talks back to you." - Joss Whedon
~ "When you come out of a great movie, you feel like you’re in that world. When you’re telling a story, you’re trying to connect to people in a particular way. It’s about inviting them into a world. The way you’ve inhabited this world, this universe, you have become part of it. When I see you guys, I don’t think the show is off the air. I think there’s spaceships and horses - the story is alive." - Joss Whedon, 10th Anniversary Firefly panel @SDCC2012
~ "Most of life is hell. It’s filled with failure and lost. People disappoint you. Dreams don’t work out. Hearts get broken. And the best moments of life when ‘everything comes together’ are few and fleeing. But you will never get to the next great moment if you don’t keep going. So that’s what I do. I keep going." - Elaine Hammond, Political Animals, episode 1.01
~ "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
~ "We all end up in the ground someday. But how we get there counts for something." - Vegas, 1.05
~ "Sometimes you have to see fear and head for it. And you have to do exactly what would be considered entirely inappropriate - socially, personally, in relationships and the world at large - in order to make it where you're supposed to go." - Robert Downey Jr.

Fanfiction
1. In The Mountains, There You Feel Free by zempasuchil [S/D, R] - 1/06
Sam and Dean get a call about a logger gone missing in the forests of the Olympic mountains. Sam hopes the fresh air and a case will do Dean some good.
2. Northern Birds by roque_clasique [Gen, PG13] - 1/14
Sam's in pain, and so is his brother. Pain is very complicated.
3. Biting The Same Bullet by starbolin [Clint/Natasha, Explicit] - 5/14
Three stolen cars and a railway ride between Volgograd and Budapest, and she still doesn’t know who he is.
4. Rivers and Roads by Shtuff [Clint + Natasha, T] - 5/17
Natasha, Clint, and a house in the countryside, surrounded by trees and endless fields of rolling grass. Healing in the wake of devastation is never simple, but maybe here, in this quiet place, they can try.
5. Works In Progress by agnes_bean [Tony/Bruce, PG-13] - 6/09
Tony clearly liked alcohol. Bruce knew that. But he didn't really know it until Pepper left.
6. An Arrow, Discarded by allisnow [Clint/Natasha, R] - 6/10
He is Clint Barton and he is Hawkeye and he is Loki and he is a rime of blue ice. He is an arrow loosed from a madman's bow.
7. In Which Tony Stark Builds Himself Some Friends (But His Family Was Assigned by Nick Fury) by scifigrl47 [Steve/Tony, Clint/Coulson, R] - 6/24
Tony Stark has once again engineered something that might well lead to the downfall of Western Civilization. No one's really surprised. This time, however, it might just be the lesser of two evils.
8. Run to Ground by hollimichele [Steve/Natasha/Bucky, R] - 7/19
“They bought-- what? A body in cryo?” Maria Hill looks skeptical. “How’d one guy fresh out of the ice kill a whole room?”
9. I’ll remember best of all, all the things we didn’t say by dorcas_gustine [Tony/Steve, PG13] - 8/30
Steve comes back and everything's gonna be alright. ...Right?
