My media this week (3-9 Sep 2023)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

😊 What's Left of Kisses (What's Left of Kisses #1) (Draco_sollicitus) - 86K, shrunkyclunks with Cap!Steve & mild-mannered history teacher Bucky (who's got some past trauma & secrets even he doesn't know about)

😊 It Always Finds A Way (What's Left of Kisses #2) (Draco_sollicitus) - 90K, shrunkyclunks, sequel to above - lots of angst and action and evil government scientists as Bucky tries to adjust to being superpowered (imo doesn't quite stick the landing but still an enjoyable fic)

😊 hic sunt dracones (robotguts) - 45K, steddie, cute af, low angst modern AU where eddie's a professional DM Steve hires for the group of kids he babysits

💖💖 +187K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

[podfic] Enfolding (jennisaisquoi (mcmuffins)) - Band Sinister [KJ Charles]: Corvin/Amanda /David, 3K - extremely delightful story, excellently done podfic

Second Nature (MoreThanSlightly (cadignan)) - Ted Lasso: Keeley/Roy/Jamie, 27K - Second Nature 'verse #1 - I am feral over this fic - gender/body swap with lots of gender fuckery and all sorts of goodness. Really felt like the author nailed the character voices. Loved loved loved it!

Three Ways to Saturday (MoreThanSlightly (cadignan)) - Ted Lasso: Keeley/Roy/Jamie, 1K - Second Nature 'verse #2 - outsider (Beard's) POV of the preceding fic - also stellar character voice, fun to see the different POV
