Summary
MCU films manage to avoid too much monotony by playing with different genres in many of its releases. However it doesn't do anything to reinvent them, which might have been helpful with AntMan and the Wasp. Major spoilers for the film.

The Who Does Matter by yourlibrarian

Summary
I don't believe I've ever written my own "Why Slash?" post, however two things prompted this one. The first was an interesting post which took on the topic and offered an explanation I hadn't yet seen. And the second was that the topic's Fanlore entry points out "while no equivalent existential soul-searching exists for "why het"." It was that second part that seemed to me the key issue. I don't think that slash is that different from het in the bigger picture. Rather there is a larger question of why we write who we write that is at the heart of it at all.

Summary
Faith slips the necklace over her head. It’s cold against her chest, which surprises her.
“She died in water,” Nikki says.
“What?”
“That’s why it’s cold.”
Faith thinks about Buffy lying face-first in a lake somewhere. Someone rolling her over, pushing life back into her lungs.
“I hope she never comes back here,” Faith says suddenly, emphatically. “She deserves more than this.”
“No one lives forever, Faith.”
No, Faith thinks, fingers tightening around the silver cross. But Buffy should.

AU where Faith has died before Buffy and she sees everyone who arrives and leaves the afterlife connected to her.

The Not-Christmas Not-Truce of 1944 by dropdeaddream
It's not often I see war-era fic about this pair and even less often stories that take place in the field. So this was great to come across and very entertaining!

Tea with the Hatter (TGIF) by theorytale
Time loop stories have long been a favorite trope so I've read quite a few. But what was a particular standout with this one is in the ways in which the trope is used differently. Especially in an enemy to lovers story, this trope works particularly well and I really liked how Tony and Loki could come to appreciate one another throughout. I also like how their science and magic issues stood in for larger ones, in that neither could really grasp where the gaps were in what each one took for granted (about themselves and the other). But best of all was the post-fixit section where Tony in particular does not simply bounce back from what has been an ongoing mental trauma and reacts in a more realistic way than what's usually shown. Good stuff!

Yes, read by fire_juggler. A podmeta about blanket permission to podfic -- delightful and revealing of people's passion for fanworks.
