rec(s) of the day

Hey, I found a Hansel & Gretel fic I liked a lot. Shame there's not more fic like this; Gretel's situation just calls for stories that explore it.

Summary: (Do no harm, say her sisters, in her dreams, but she’s surrounded by blood and fire, and the power arcing across her fingers is not white — or at least, not only.)

It's Electrifying by waketosleep
Summary: Clint Barton is apparently an Avenger and a pretty good shot, but whatever, Darcy has a taser and no reluctance to use it. Clint is the damaged one if he finds that charming.

fanart: A friendly sparring match

I've been meaning to draw a sparring scene for ages. It's funny, all the while I was sketching and coloring this I thought it wasn't going anywhere, wondering whether I should scrap it and try a different angle. Then I threw a bit more color at it and, huh. Suddenly it worked.

I had Clint sketched with a shirt on at first. Then I said to myself: Self, what are you doing? So I took it off. In the interest of studying anatomy. For Science!



*me, showing sketch to roomie*: Does this look like a friendly sparring match?
Roommate: I'm not getting that at all.
Me: Between two deadly assassins?
Roommate: Then yes.
