Fanfic: Brighter Than the Sun (GotG 2 tag)

We saw Guardians of the Galaxy last night (more on that in a new post shortly) and I came out of the movie with a burning desire to write a tag, which hasn't happened to me in awhile! Obviously this is about as spoilery as it is possible to get.

Title: Brighter Than the Sun

Summary: This is the problem with aliens. One of the problems, anyway. For my h/c bingo square "family." No particular warnings aside from HUGE SPOILERS; some more notes under the cut.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2

So the fact that I now have a GotG icon probably tells you all you need to know about how I reacted to the movie. I did not go in expecting to love it. I actually was lukewarm on the first one (which, by the way, I am totally buying so I can rewatch it now, because Netflix does not have it streaming, the jerks).

I DID NOT EXPECT TO LOVE THIS MOVIE. AT ALL.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE A WHOLE LOT.

I also think the trailer for this movie (the first teaser trailer, the Fox on the Run one) might be one of the best trailers I've ever seen, because it a) took me from "meh" to really wanting to see this movie, and b) did not actually spoil ANYTHING! I went into this completely unspoiled -- in fact, far less spoiled than I thought I was after seeing the trailer -- and I'm really glad. If watching things nonspoiled is your thing, I think you will enjoy having that experience.

Which means you will not want to click on the cut tag, because ALL THE SPOILERS are here.
