ang griffen's journal

I didn't want to rec this until I read the whole thing, and I just finished it! So let me tell you guys that O'er the Dark-Green Sea by poisonivory is super great. It is a DC Comics AU in which the various members of the Green Lantern and Green Arrow families are either pirates or members of the British Navy. And yeah, whatever, Kyle Rayner and Connor Hawke are cute together in it, but also Jenny is amazing and Hal and Ollie are total dramaqueens and I love poisonivory's dedication to referencing totally random rogues all the time in her stories, and you should go read this. Yes.

It feels like it's been about forever since I've had a weekend off, and even longer since I've had a weekend off and not spent it, like, being social in person. It's so weird having all this free time. I've been spending it waiting for my actions at Echo Bazaar to refresh and reading fanfiction. I might go for a bike ride later.

Here are two comicsbigbang stories I liked!:

DC Comics: JSA
The Faculty of Conscious and Especially Of Deliberate Action by isilfic
Alan Scott, PG-13, 11636 words.
Alan Scott has had a very long life in which lots of things have happened.

Marvel Comics: Young Avengers
Gravity: The Fundamental Things Apply by jazzypom
Eli Bradley/Kate Bishop, R, 21500 words.
jazzypom wrote a really interesting post about Young Avengers fandom and race and female characters a while back, and I have not read Young Avengers in something like four years, but when I saw that she had written a Young Avengers story for Comics Big Bang, I was super excited. This is a story about Eli Bradley, and about superheroes who are not white, and about Eli/Kate. It is very good.


There is also a story from lgbtfest that I thought was pretty great:
Stupendous Man and Pretty Cool Dude (for an old guy) Join Forces by mjules
Calvin & Hobbes. In which Calvin visits his Uncle Max and meets Max's boyfriend.
