Misc fandom stuff

[sholio]

festivids (vidding exchange for rare fandoms) is still taking fandom nominations for another day or so; instructions and definition of "rare" fandoms here. I did it last year and will probably be signing up again this year.

I've been reading fic at Femslash Exchange and there's some really good stuff! A couple I liked in particular:

Our Bodies, Ourselves (Ant-Man & the Wasp, Hope/Ava, 6K words)
This is probably my favorite fic I've read for the Ant-Man movies, hands down, which is all the more impressive because I really love Hope/Scott in canon and never even considered this pairing, but this completely sells it and is also a really gorgeous portrayal of disability/trauma (as Ava struggles with the transition to having a fully corporeal body and emotions she doesn't know how to process) and a really lovely ensemble fic with the same warm everyone-is-family vibe as the movies. I just really loved it.

Citation Flirtation (Black Panther, Shuri/OC, 3K words)
Sweet and funny and well-characterized, with a great OC and strong sense of place.

And though I haven't responded to them all yet, I really appreciate the kind comments and commiseration on my previous post; thank you. ♥ ♥ ♥ (I have been soothing my broken heart by writing fanfic and watching this gif of Tom Pelphrey as Ward Meachum on repeat. THAT FLIRTY SMILE. GOD.)
