Fierce Rawthorne

- Cobra Kai S5 has dropped, and I have not watched it yet because I know the stupid spoiler and ugh, that shit makes me angry when any show/movie does it but ( even more so for CK. ) Ugh. It makes me not even want to spend my time watching it. This is why I don't like to get into things fannishly until they're over.

- anyway, prior to that trainwreck, I did upload my post-TKK1 story: ooh, when you bite your lip (Daniel/Johnny, 8k, PG-13.)

- also started posting the TG:M physical therapy AU as a WIP, new chapters Wednesdays & Saturdays: your body keeps the score (Maverick/Rooster, 3k up so far, PG at the moment but will eventually be NSFW.)

- the PT AU overall is nearly complete, I am on the back half of the epilogue and only have to wrap up a NSFW bit and write the rest of the ending. Once I'm finished I'll update the chapter count to be correct (it's only ? at the moment because I wanted to be sure it would be 14 before I labeled it).

- I have a ticket to see Clerks 3 on Thursday, crossing my fingers no one dies in it or I will be driving to Jersey to have words with Kevin Smith.

- my bedroom TV died at 2AM this morning and while I could potentially live without a living room TV for a stretch, I need background noise to fall asleep at night (sleep timer FTW) and... is everything a smart TV these days? I need two USB ports and a power cord, that's it. Or even just one USB port, since the cheap DVD player is just backup for when the internet is out and I can't stream Death in Paradise to fall asleep to.

- the TGM discord I joined continues to be a delight, and I am somewhat fascinated to report that figuring out wild crossovers to pair up characters played by the same actors remains a thing across fandom generations.

August fic roundup! Since I am done posting for the month - TKK fic is scheduled for Friday and that's somehow September already. (I'm not ready for school to staaaart!)

Yesterday I posted the final installment in the future wide, which is basically Mav and Rooster getting it on a lot in various places masquerading as domesticity/curtain fic. (3 parts, 11k total.)

I did not give Mav as much retirement angst as I could have buuuut I have other fics for that.

I also finished up a prompt from the kinkmeme about Mav wearing lingerie on his and Rooster's wedding night, which might be the first time I've ever finished a km prompt in my forty thousand years in fandom. I'm not entirely sure, but it feels like it. feel it in the morning (1.6k, definitely NSFW although neither of them get entirely undressed... which seems to be a theme in my TGM fics.)

On the non-TG front, all-time classic run, another Peacemaker Chris/Adrian that took me a couple months to finish while I got distracted by exchange fics and stupid naval aviators, but I finished! (4k, NSFW)

For Rare Male Slash Exchange, a Moon Knight Marc/Khonshu: o, woodcutter, cut my shadow - this was very fun to figure out and put together. I originally planned to write something from Marc's POV, but thought that I'd first try Khonshu's POV just to see how it felt/if I could even get the hang of it. I think it worked out and I love the terrible old bird god. (And making Marc suffer.)

And finally, I was skimming through Disney+ at the end of July looking for something to watch (I try to rotate through all our subscription things so I get at least some $ worth out of it a month) and saw they'd added the terrible 2015 Fantastic Four movie - the one with Miles Teller, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara, and Michael B. Jordan. I'd seen it before but only for JBell, and while I'm not making much effort to watch extra Miles Teller things (he really only appeals to me as Rooster), I figured I'd put it on. Then I watched it three more times in a row and wrote everything alright. (5x, possible Reed/Ben first kisses)

I would possibly like to write another FF thing eventually - I might add it to my Yuletide options.

Overall, hmm, I have written more than twenty thousand words this month (holy shit) - almost half of it on the physical therapy AU. My only actual September goal is to finish that. Anything else is extra.
