Thursday recs (late)

[feldman]

Bynightafangirl on tumbles asked me for HulkWidow/Gammassassin post-Endgame recs, and since there's this new Thursday recs thing, I thought I'd jump on that (late) and post them ere as well.

I use my bookmarks in AO3 for anything I might want to re-read, and the quality varies by how generous/parsimonious I’m feeling in general, but it’s still pretty thin on the ground for gammassassin Endgame fic; here’s what I have so far.

First, a timeless palate cleanser where no one is dead or weird, with bonus Liho: Boundaries by Celeste9

Next, a post-IW study of keeping a light on for someone, through a specific lens: Can You Read the Second Line Down? by Thassalia

Thassalia brings it yet again post-IW with this exploration of grief, work, not feeling at home in your own skin, and finding a familiar place in someone else’s:  Does this Skin Fit Funny? by Thassalia

The thought of Nat holding down the fort alone kills me, so I loved this moment of support and connection with the outside world: Parley by Peanut Butter by Anorakofavalon

Special mention to this well-crafted piece, written for me by the talented thecarlysutra for the Marvel Trumps Hate fundraiser. It’s also post-IW, but it distills the yearning potential of reunion: oh, i need this by thecarlysutra

In short, Natasha deserves better, and fandom will be here for her once we stop sobbing into our fucking peanut butter sandwich (could there be a worse snack for that scene? crying and dry peanut butter on bread? fuck you, mcu).
