"It is… what does Charlie call it, a humbug? Gentility is a humbug. Why should I care what people think about petticoats when there is so much misery yet in the world?" "Because those holding the strings of the pocketbook are men, and because you've got a face like that!" Etta snapped, quite a bit more tartly than she'd intended to. "Which means they won't listen to you unless you're dressed the way they expect the long-lost niece and newly found heiress of a wealthy baronet to behave, which means having combed hair and wearing skirts that don't show your knees. It won't get you respect as such, but it's a darned sight better than the alternative." Etta takes Diana shopping again. Oh Etta. ♥

♥THE TICO SISTERS♥ *sobs*

Will deliberates about bringing his boyfriend to Thanksgiving dinner. Hopper tries to deep-fry the turkey. Jonathan, Nancy and Steve's son won't look up from his Game Boy. Set in 2002. Oh heart.

Rebellions are built on hope. I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING. (tlj spoilers)

Palpatine presents Vader with a clone of his wife as a teenager. Then things get complicated. oh Skywalkers.

Peter slowly clues into his feelings about Johnny. Sweet boys but so dumb.

Steve ruminates on this odd family they're becoming in the aftermath. Lovely.

Rey is raised by Baze and Chirrut, who don't know she's Han and Leia' daughter. I enjoyed this.

Super hot Frank/Karen. *fans self*

Diana and the men trade tales on the road to Veld.

Jessica's reluctant to team up with Matt, Danny, and Luke again, but they win her over eventually. Oh heart.

It was pathetic, she thought, the way he knew he was loved and yet scuttled away from the sideways, like a crab. What a fucking coward. I was beloved and I lost it, she wanted to scream at him. I would have given him all the stars and all their worlds and he stopped wanting the only thing I could give. I’m not peace. I’m not justice. I’m not a queen. I’m death. And he saw perfect Frigga and a perfect future and he wanted life and golden sons and adorable orphans and damn you, Loki, I had been forgetting. And you just fucking look away. Loki gets sent into exile with Hela. Hela softens just a little in learning to be a big sister, in having a bratty younger brother. Lovely.

Planning his proposal to Amy helps keep Jake sane in prison. Oh heart. Gets his voice just right too.

Rey finds her way to Mortis in an effort to figure out her destiny. Anakin's there to offer some advice. Oh heart.

Achy, melancholy story of Steve finding Bucky and Bucky losing Steve and finding him again.

Frank gets in touch with Karen afterwards. Oh heart.

Thor, Loki, Asgard, and the stories their people tell of them. Lovely.

Loki works out his place in the aftermath. Lovely.

"Because you can't -- you can't go around thinking that magic is the cure-all. Magic can't do shite to fix the things we really want." He'd narrowed his eyes; Sirius's silhouette went blurry and slanted. "You use magic to tie your shoelaces, Pads." "So? Shoelaces are -- those are shoelaces. They're just -- they're the kind of thing what magic was meant for, aren't they? I mean. Christ, it won't. It won't bring back the dead. It won't let you be someone else. It won't let you live forever. It won't get you real money, or love, or - you know. It doesn't do that. You still have to do the best with what you've got. And that means - it means knowing who you are. Even if it's - painful, or. Something you don't like. You just have to know that about yourself." He’d closed his eyes. He remembers, then, what it felt like, to be surrounded in darkness and Sirius Black’s voice telling him that love was something human. That love and death were things that escaped magic itself. That they were made you what you were - what you were supposed to be. Remus realizes Sirius is innocent and sets about proving it. This is so melancholy and beautiful, with lovely illustrations too.

"You know," she says as she gets into position, "I've never done this with someone who's bearded. You'll have to convince me of the benefits." "Ma'am, yes, ma'am," Steve says, already sounding more winded than he does after sprinting a full league. Diana takes Steve (Rogers) to bed. Mm...yes good.

Lovely look at Cor and Aravis during their married life.

"You want to sit at Ben's desk, inherit Ben's beat? Then you have to learn this city so you can write about it like you know what goes on here. Like he did," he tells her. "Jimmy Breslin, Ben Urich -- the best speakers for the city we've ever had -- they knew this place like their own faces. They didn't have to read a dozen blogs every day to figure out what to say. Their hearts beat to the pulse of this city and all they had to do was listen. You want to live up to that legacy? Get down to the City desk." She goes. Karen learns how to be a journalist and how to be a New Yorker.

Bitty gets injured and Jack rushes to his bedside. Lovely. (they don't hand out yellow cards in hockey tho)

Nice look at Bruce and Valkyrie after everything's over.

Bruce gets amnesia and the post-Jason Batkids get to see what pre-Jason's death Bruce was like. And Bruce and Jason reconcile. Oh my heart. (has some spacing issues and also the baseball stuff in the epilogue is...definitely off, but so many excellent Batfamily feels are worth it.)
