Rec(s) of the day

fic rec: A Brooklyn Nine-Nine/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. crossover.
Unusual Suspects by kitlee625, Sarahastro
Gen; ensemble; casefic/crossover; G; 4233 words
Summary: The detectives of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine investigate a series of burglaries where it almost seems like the thief is invisible. But that’s impossible, right?

(I'm not familiar with Brooklyn 99, so I read those guys as quasi OCs that provide an entertaining outsider POV. The fic did make me want to check out that show.)

Avengers rec:
Ghost Towns by [archiveofourown.org profile] enigma731
Clint & Natasha, Fury; teen; 4000 words
Summary: S.H.I.E.L.D. did brain scans the day they brought Natasha in. Clint doesn’t recognize half of the words in the report he’s given, but he knows enough to understand that there are signs of chemical tampering in her brain, of the pathways that form her memories being repeatedly wired and rewired again.
For the prompt: "Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won’t. This is what love is."

A beautiful interpretation of the prompt.

Here's a new trailer for The Winter Soldier, several minutes long, and it's looking good!. It really looks like Natasha is going to play a significant role as promised. I'm so excited!

Meet the Somalis - The illustrated stories of Somalis in seven cities in Europe
Very interesting webcomic based on real experiences. Each story is four pages long and can be read very comfortably frame-by-frame.

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine characterisations are spot on. It's a great show and the author has done a fab job of a plot that works for both shows. Highly recommended show! The entitled prankster manchild character (Peralta) is not as appalling as he appears in the first episode. It's worth getting past that for the others, and he turns out to be a character capable of learning to mature emotionally. Also great female characters.
