Snowflake Challenge 10: rec a work
Challenge #10
In your own space, rec a fanwork (fic, art, vid, playlist, anything!) you did not create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
So, just as things were getting dire regarding Delta here in Australia last year, I got a giftfic from someone i'd never heard of, to the tune of 17,000 words of a major OTP of mine.
It was timely, and entertaining, and happymaking. Sometimes you just need that in life, and at least in fandom, I don't get many of those kinds of moments.
So: rec.In the Absence of Shadows (17203 words) by Alistra

Summary:
After the fall of SHIELD, Maria Hill has found her place as chief of security at Stark Industries. She's become fast friends with Pepper and regularly takes an elderly neighbour's dog for walks. The world isn't ending, for once.
So why isn't Maria happy?

"Maybe you should think about getting a hobby," Pepper said.
"I have hobbies," Maria insisted as they walked towards the elevators.
"Something that can double as a way to kill a person does not count as a hobby."
(a.k.a. The Maria Hill Epic)
I just love that Pepper has to point out that last line.
And one I found today:My sister (38F) just rented my (31M) ex-GF's father's house. Should I go visit my sister and BIL, or stay away? (2895 words) by lirin

This is delightful and hilarious, as much for the framing as what the framing does to the story.
