Fandom: DC, technically the Justice League (2017) movie, but can reasonably fit with most DC timelines
Pairings/Characters: Martha Kent, Atlanna
Rating: T
Length: 2,909 words
Creator Links: susiecarter
Theme: Female Relationships, Female Friendship, Gen, Minor Characters, Superpowers

Summary: There's a very unusual woman on the train, when Martha boards just outside Metropolis.

Reccer's Notes: I love depictions of Martha Kent where she is no-nonsense and kind, but ultimately human. She is out of her depth in the superhero shenanigans but perfectly suited to handle any and all human things before and after. I love how she immediately clocks Atlanna as "strange and possibly dangerous" and so decides to strike up a conversation. It's lovely to see these two women bond over their sons even before they really know who each other is. Also Alfred cameos at the end which is always fun.

Fandom: Deadloch
Characters/Pairings: Eddie Redcliffe/Dulcie Collins
Rating: Teen
Length: 2518
Content Notes: Internalised homophobia, unreliable narrator, political correctness and Eddie aren't even in the same universe
Creator Links: pintpotjudas on AO3
Themes: Female relationships, Backstory, Ambiguous relationships

Summary: Just Eddie, musing on hair. And lesbians. And herself, a bit. (She's meant to be thinking about the case.)
Set in a lull (???) in episode five, or thereabouts.

Reccer's Notes: The detective partnership of Eddie and Dulcie is central to Deadloch, and it's "enemies to friends" in canon, but with a tantalising hint of maybe-polyamory at the very end of the show. In this story, Eddie thinks about lesbians in general (Deadloch's full of lesbians), her odd fascination with Dulcie's long, thick, hair, and remembers a female friendship from her teens. It's a believable character study where we understand a bit more about Eddie and see the beginnings of her attraction to Dulcie, even if Eddie's still mostly in denial. Interesting, and well written, with great characterisation and Eddie's usual hilarious and colourful turns of phrase.

Let us begin this entry with a commentary on the changing visibility of women in animation, where women are eventually getting to higher positions and responsibilities in addition to the often stellar and strong work they do as ink and paint animators, cel creators, and much of the day-to-day work that makes studios like Ghibli so well-known and beloved for their productions. And, of course, women in careers is also a following on from academic institutions that finally allowed women to sit their examinations.

And perhaps is even more following on from the work being done to make sure that people know about the contributions of African women to their societies, and that many old societies in Africa had reading, writing, mathematical knowledge, and were otherwise the opposite of the colonial narrative that wanted to paint them as barbarous and uncivilized so they could be enslaved without disturbing the colonizer's conscience.

Brian Wilson, best known as a member of the Beach Boys and a pioneer of a specific style of pop that came from it, has left the world at 82 years of age. The details of his personal life, as well as some of the more experimental turns and albums that Wilson did, are a stark contrast to the sounds and the easy commercial co-option that has happened to the Beach Boys music and sound. We are all more complex than we appear on the surface.

( More governmental entities behaving lawlessly, more kidnapping, and more inside )

Last out for this post, highly-decorated, multi-gold medal winner, multiply-Olympic champion, and first to perform several maneuvers that now bear her name in the Gymastics Code of Points gymnast Simone Biles read undecorated, grievance-profiting, Fox News-supplicating, and all-around mediocre swimmer Riley Gaines for filth when Gaines posted about a softball team with a trans girl on it winning a championship. Gaines attempted to clap back by calling Biles a "male apologist," but I couldn't hear it very well over the sound of all that hardware clanking. Biles did eventually post something clarifying her comments as being about competitive equity and inclusivity and not singling out individual athletes for public scrutiny, but it has the feel of "people concerned about my brand made me do this 'clarification' " rather than a genuine change of position from Biles. Because that clarification makes it sound like Gaines might have had a point, and that's objectively untrue.

A libertarian-leaning, eye-catching eyesore has been bought, along with the land under it, by a local Native tribe, so hopefully the billboard will have a better sense of humor, or a better sense of politics, or both.

The National Hockey League's candidates for the Stanley Pup, thirty-two rescue dogs (one for each team in the NHL) looking for adoption, and all of who have great facts and team material available for them. Think Puppy Bowl, but hockey.

And the deliberate decision to lean into cringe in the Murderbot television series and buck the idea of people who never have human moments as protagonists. Combined with the performance of gender by SecUnit, and how that performance becomes meaningful once it's a choice instead of a requirement.

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America, The Avengers
Characters/Pairings: Natasha Romanov/Maria Hill, James 'Bucky' Barnes/Steve Rogers, James 'Bucky' Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson, Nick Fury, Phil Coulsen, various MCU characters
Rating: Mature
Length: 04:21:03 (41,322 words)
Content Notes: Graphic depictions of violence, abuse of children by the Red Room, recollection of past pet death
Creator Links: Quietnight on the Audiofic Archive, Quietnight on AO3, notcaycepollard on AO3
Themes: Female relationships, Action/adventure, Families of choice, Time travel, Fix-it

Summary: The fall is longer than Natasha expects.

It’s tears cold on her face, teeth bitten all the way through her lip and the taste of copper in her mouth; she’s falling and falling and then, bracing for impact—she wakes up.

Reccer's Notes: This is one of my favourite podfics by one of my favourite podficcers, and it's a tour de force. It's a long story by notcaycepollard that puts right Natasha's death with the soul stone - instead of dying she's sent back in time to the moment in her Red Room training she most regrets, and from that moment lives her life anew and, with her knowledge of the first time around, is able to fix the worst, most tragic disasters and losses of canon. It starts with Natasha rescuing her sister trainee black widows from the Red Room, plus Bucky the Winter Soldier who's there as well. There's a lovely, slow-burn relationship with Maria Hill in the story, but the key relationships for Natasha are with her sisters, aged from a four-year-old to teenagers when they escape, and the podfic's centre is the found family they create. The fix-it aspects are enormously satisfying and Quietnight's reading is, as ever, nuanced and fluent, beautifully performed - including all the Russian names and words, and a pleasure to listen to. An epic story and a wonderful podfic, stirring and heartwarming, and infinitely better than canon.
