I just got caught up on Interdimensional Kidnapping and I just have to say how much I need this poor kid to be protected from everything forever.

more hot chocolate will fix the lab-based childhood trauma, right?? Tim can put those fun colored marshmallows in it, bet the fun colored marshmallows are worth at LEAST six months of therapy! 💙

Luther is the main character? If anyone I felt like it was Vanya... But yeah can someone PLEASE smack Luther?? Because I was sooooo pissed at him that last episode. Like WTF dude.

Like I see your point....but the narratological signs point to Luther. He’s our entrance character, after all. I think the show evolves (for the better) as more and more of an ensemble show as it goes on, though. By the last few episodes, it’s pretty damn egalitarian. 

But I still require more Ben.

speaking as a writer, there are few things I love more than someone going through one of my old stories and commenting on every single chapter.

I'm pretty sure this was a relatively short fic. Clint and Coulson go undercover for a mission, and Clint has an alternate identity as a sub (with a different name I think?). And both of them are really into it and enjoy it. The other Shield agents know about it too, but I think Steve was there and he was confused, and maybe concerned that Clint was ok?

That sounds like it could be Unexpected Beauty by Jadesymb.

If that is not the correct fic, please send us another ask.

It was the opposite if disappointing!! This was such a great twist that I was not expecting at all. And this angst will just make it all the sweeter when we do get to the happy ending. Don't let them get you down!

Aw, thank you!

Discards has been so great so far! I love the unique take you have on the characters in this fic, and the way Sirius and Remus are figuring each other out. I also like that while Remus does sex work you aren't fetishizing it like so many fics do that leave me feeling gross.

Thank you!

Yeah, that’s something I’ve really been thinking about. I’ve seen a lot of fics where one of the characters is a sex worker, and there are a lot of gross, exploitative scenes with dubious (at best) consent, and then the other character “rescues” them (but usually not before hiring them for a night themself).

I really wanted to do something different with Remus in this. Being a sex worker is just a fact of his life, and I have no plans to show any more scenes of him with clients, or for him to talk about the lurid details of what he does. That’s not the point. Sirius isn’t going to “rescue” him, either; he’s just going to have to accept that this is something Remus has to do right now.

I love the AO3 skin that you shared! The colors are great but I still like the original fonts. Is there a way to use the standard fonts with these colors? I tried messing around with it but I have no idea what I'm doing.

hey! Thank you!

I think if you delete all the lines like this:

font-family: Avenir, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

you should be fine. 

Open the code in a text software and search for it (there are at least 20 instances I think where that line is used, it’s not the most clean of codes I admit!) and delete them all and it should reverse back to the original fonts used!

at least in theory, I haven’t tried it. Let me know if there are more problems!

I was talking about this with my boyfriend and just couldn't stop laughing because even the name is so stupidly ridiculous.

And yet at a recent rally, Trump supporters chanted it without an ounce of irony.
