Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I thought there was a VotPW SPN vid. I could be high.

Wow--that totally works! Love it.

It's a song about the ways in which the military industrial complex fails its people. Of course it works!

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

What is the VotPW?

Veterans of the Psychic Wars, a Blue Oyster Cult song. Dean's theme song.

That's what you get for reading the thread only one post at a time.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I love it when I am right and everyone else is wrong. :)

So, so right.

A massively tear-inducing Avengers fic about the Captain America board Phil Coulson co-founded in 1996 and their reaction to his "death".

One thing and the other led me to reading Charles/Erik, even though I'm not a fan of X-Men First Class. First fic was good since it was an author I knew and trusted. Diving into ao3 was a mistake. To be clear, I've been navigating the AUs, but I have never backed out of so many fics before. I usually am a completist even with mediocre fic, or when I realize the conclusion is sex and there's no more plot left. But, damn.

So, any recs would be welcome.
