filed under 'needful things': I finally found a saviour program for AO3 that works on my computer: blurb blocker for greasemonkey. Now well over half of the listed fics is blocked, but I can finally browse Avengers fandom unfiltered. \o/

And it has a definite advantage to AO3's 'search within results' box: if you saviour, for example, "Clint Barton/Phil Coulson", it will block all of those fics but leave the ones that just happen to list the characters "Clint Barton, Phil Coulson". (Since those two sit next to each other on the character list quite often, that meant lot of stories getting accidentally filtered out.)

Rec of the day

Hansel & Gretel rec:
Cities of the Plain by Not_You
Hansel/Mina, Gretel, Edward, Ben, and OC townspeople; genre: action-adventure; rated Explicit; 18538 words
Summary: I'm going to be honest, here. I literally spoke the words, "I want to put them in fancy clothes and make them suffer." There is a plot, but this is mostly the story of The BAMF Twins Versus Civilization. It begins out in the woods, though, as so many things do.

Pretty much what I was looking for after watching H&G: an action-adventure right in the vein of the movie. This fic is fun! It's also extremely well written. They could practically film this as Hansel & Gretel: The Sequel. :)

(sidenote: plays fast and loose with things like Germany's geography. Heh. Then again, the movie is set in a much cooler pseudo-historical steampunky fantasy version of Germany, anyway.)
