Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

'Underneath'

So I put my billytea-and-ryan-inspired ficlet on AO3, cause that's what one does these days. 21 hits and 3 kudos in less than two hours, yay, but they seem pretty sparse with comments over there, aren't they?

I hope you like it. It's my first fan fiction and if you don't like something just tell me so i could learn from my mistakes.

One more thing. I don't know a thing about high schools in America so i use what I've learned from movies,so sorry if something is not right.

Oh, I have a feeling this one is going to be a literary masterpiece.

It's true, most popular movies do not go into sufficient detail on the proper use of the shift key.

Some of those uncertain summaries, I just want to take those fledgling writers and cuddle them and tuck them up with tea and a good dictionary/grammar guide. Some of them I just want to shake and say "Complete sentences, dammit! And the word SHIELD actually obeys that rule you should have learned in school!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a word!

(I am going to be so tired of typing that in...6 days, I predict, if not sooner. Like now.)

Well, if you're going to be pedantic and insist on periods in your acronyms. I belong to the No Periods sect.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's been a subject of debate in online publications (and I guess offline ones), whether they have to use the periods.

I reject the periods.

I'm just going by the name of the TV show [link] One can spell it how one wants, but it is only correct one way.
