Cobra Kai, The Mandalorian, ST: TOS, Supernatural, DC Comics

1. [Vid] St. Elmo's Fire by lilly_the_kid. Such a good recruiter vid for Cobra Kai, and I laughed when Eagle Fang made its appearance. Also such a powerful moment in that line I'd forgotten about: "You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man."
   
   
2. Reverberations by fanfoolishness (LoonyLupin). "Five times Din and Grogu encounter the dark side, and one time they encounter something altogether different." I liked this idea of Grogu's lessons in the Force, and Din's continued connection to him.
   
   
3. Equilibrium by PSW. "McCoy's transport is destroyed in what appears to be a containment field explosion, leaving no known survivors. The truth, however, is not so simple as that ..." Lengthy, plotty story centered around Spock and McCoy and a number of original characters. Aside from having a gen story to dig into, I appreciated that it didn't end at the point where McCoy rejoins the Enterprise but rather follows the story to a different kind of conclusion.
   
   
4. Hail Mary by galaxysoup. I'm not really reading SPN these days but this storyline not only fixed so much within SPN during its season but gave us a much better ending to the series. Plus, I think Castiel could use some motherly friendship.
   
   
5. They Give It Away by BeatriceEagle. NSFW. "A vid about the women of DC comics" is true enough but it also says a lot about the comic book industry.

That is a really excellent recruiter vid!

Also, oooh, McCoy-centric fic? I am there!

[yourlibrarian]

Hope you enjoy it too!

Unless something is very wonky on my end, the link to Reverberations goes to an Elizabeth/Peter/Neal story. Which I am going to check out, but it is not the Din and Grogu story I was looking for. ;)

I enjoyed the vid a lot. Great recs!

Quite right, looks like I left it in there from an earlier rec post. It's fixed now, thanks for letting me know!

I love that Cobra Kai vid! Also, when I clicked on the 'Hail Mary' link it took me to a white collar fic on AO3.

Boy missed two out of five this time (I just checked the rest!) The correct link is now in, thanks!

Thanks!!

Oh man, They Give It Away. I saw it premiere at Fanworks con last weekend - so great, so infuriating. The use of the "no!"s was so chilling.

The editing of images makes a chilling case alright.
