Fanworks that have been making me happy lately
Hello LJ! I have a few recs for you.
First, a STUNNING MCU fanvid (spoilers for all MCU films, including Captain America: Civil War and the trailer for Doctor Strange):
Holy shit, y'all. 99% of professional trailers and music videos wish they had half this vid's editing rhythm and sense of motion. I'd never heard the song before, but it's really great. I found this vid this morning and have already watched it 3-4 times. Go watch, and if you have a youtube account leave a comment for the vidders. (I can't find this posted on any place better for commenting than youtube.)
Second, a fic rec:
this is not by surgicalstainless. MCU, Steve/Peggy/Bucky, with appearances by the extended Avengers team. Peggy Carter from 1946 time travels to 2015. This fic is like a checklist of things that I love: female friendship (including some of my fave Avenger ladies not yet in the MCU like Carol Danvers and Kate Bishop), humor, Peggy Carter being awesome (but also being allowed to have moments of weakness), Avengers team bonding through means such as game night and breakfast dance parties, and plenty of mutual pining that eventually resolves a potential love triangle into an OT3. You'd think with the time travel premise the story would have to have a bittersweet resolution, but there's even a happy ending because parallel universes.
Third, a rec of more recs!
The Rec Center is a weekly email newsletter that delivers fandom recs to you. Every week there's a guest reccer to suggest some fic for that week's fandom as well as the newsletter editors' list of recs of meta, news articles, fan art, fandom discussions, and other general interest stuff. I've found lots of interesting stuff through this. Follow the link to the page where you can look through the archive and/or subscribe.
So what have y'all been enjoying lately?
