They really brought in Philip Akin as a new character? And they really killed him off AGAIN? What even.

(But don't forget: you can deffo make posts of your own seven days a week. ;D!)
So what cool fics/fanart/fanvids/fancrafts/podfics/other kinds of fanworks have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below. Anon comment is enabled.
BTW, AI fanworks are not eligible for reccing at recthething. If you aware that a fanwork is AI-generated, please do not rec it here.

Contemplating July activities
After a couple of years of really struggling with mood and creativity, between burnout and family issues and god knows what (and I know I've been hard to deal with in fandom, at times), things are suddenly ... good! I can write again, I'm signing up for exchanges, whatever has been blocking me has gotten a whole lot better.
July is my birthday month, therefore Best Month, obviously, and I would really like to try to do some kind of "post a short fic every day" thing if I can make it work. Unfortunately I'm suffering a dearth of appropriate challenges, because of course now that I want one and have the mental bandwidth to do something with one, daily month-long prompt challenges and/or bingo card challenges for July are nowhere in sight. The closest thing is July Break Bingo, but I've asked for cards for this before, and I just ... never really do anything with them; I appreciate that it exists, but I think I need more of a - I don't know, social element to it, I guess? Less open-ended, more directed? Their cards just don't really click with me somehow. And I can't find a Tumblr prompt/whump/whatever themed promptfest thing for July.
So I'm kicking around a few different ideas. Why not throw it out to a completely nonbinding poll?

PRIDE 6: Natasha/?
Filing Flirtations (300 words) by Sharpest_Asp
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Marvel's The Avengers [2012]
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Natasha Romanov, Ensemble
Additional Tags: Avengers Tower, Flirting, Triple Drabble
Summary:
Nat just sat back and watched the beer-laden flirting going on, listening with half her mind as alcohol lubricated more honest impressions of one another. She didn't really get it sometimes — Tony wanted everyone but Pepper was being far choosier — yet it made for good intel on who she could push and manipulate that way should it be needed.
She got the impression Bruce was more like herself. Something in the total package had to be there for that kind of fireworks to happen. On cue, Betty warded off a very cute pass from Darcy, and settled more firmly in Bruce's space. Those two — they had that look of having a true orbital lock on each other.
She let her eyes shift briefly to Clint, who gave his tiny hitch of a shoulder, then raised an eyebrow before his eyes roved Thor's well-built form. Nat gave him a go-for-it nod with the nuance of 'not both of us'.
Thor didn't meet her particular points of interest enough to spark anything, but it was always fun to watch Clint does his mix of shy and blatant flirtation.
She wondered how Jane was going to handle it, but Jane moved closer to Bruce and Betty, talking science and leaving Thor on his own. Darcy nudged her once to look over. When Jane did, she rolled her eyes, and went back to the discussion at hand.
That nudged her up in Nat's books. They were all, now, part of a very intense way of life, and being weird about who slept with whom was going to make friction.
Tony dropped into her space, and she arched a look his way.
"Checking."
"No."
He grinned. "Her?"
"Maybe."
"I'll have her schedule a date to figure it out."
Nat smirked over at Pepper, who smiled.

whumpex revealed tonight! (And H/C-ex is supposed to in a few days, if it's not delayed. All the hurtcomfort all the time.)I got:
Staying Power (Babylon 5, Londo & Vir, 4200 wds)
I asked for (among other things) Londo reacting to something bad happening to Vir, or Vir taking a hit for him, and my Mysterious Gifter took me up on it most delightfully!
As usual, there is a fic or two of mine running around loose in the collection as well.

Just like the original 3DS game, when you accomplish enough to get to the rank of Master, you get something special.

Three shows
1. My mother gifted me the complete Penny Dreadful on DVD. Judging by trailers, I will definitely not be watching this while I'm eating, but it looks very promising. Please chime in with opinions if you've seen it!
2. More of The Raven and the writers clearly decided Nick was not going to fit the Duncan mode after all, as his appreciation of culture clearly died with Claudia and in the two following episodes he's a total dick. He's rude and belittling, heavy-handed, oafish, angry, uncouth and occasionally drunk. He breaks down Amanda's door and then doesn't even hold his gun properly on entrance (I laughed, and I don't think I was supposed to). His bangs keep getting in his eyes. He bitches and moans and is stubborn as a mule and won't listen to reason. He's been catapulted into a world whose rules no longer make sense and he is Not Happy about it. He's hysterical to watch. I want popcorn.
Then there's episode four, where the writing steps up and Nick's interactions with Amanda become less eyebrow-raising and more human. Plus: Amanda showing off her emotional perceptiveness. Minus: Amanda not winning her swordfight on screen. I wanted to know what New Age Abacus Man's last words were.
3. Just watched the 2015 Doctor Who Christmas special 'The Husbands of River Song.' I got choked up three times, and the final scene... I don't do happy-sad crying (or at least I never used to, but who knows now). The only episode which has ever wrung such a response from me was 'The Prom' on Buffy. 'Husbands' attains the same rank. Quite striking, as it goes from screwball comedy to an acknowledgement that happy endings do not last but are still profound experiences. River treasured the memory of their night on Darillium and the Doctor doesn't try to take that away from her, honoring her final moments and (even without memory of Clara) her refusal to have her memories removed. Everything ends, and he's able to deal with that in a healthy manner for... Possibly the first time in NuWho?
I needed this episode.
