Matt looks up across the bar and spots Brody hovering in the doorway, dressed in a tight white shirt, with sleeves rolled up to reveal tanned forearms and a scar from where the Orca went down.

Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Trauma Recovery, mutual comfort
Summary:

Matt’s just a rich kid with an obsession, only with boats and sharks and diving equipment instead of golf and European cars and insider trading. And he can’t deny himself this either, anything he can have of Martin Brody: his hand on his arm, his elbow tucked against Matt’s side, their knees bumping. The bright summer smell of him, salt and sunscreen over the nip of his cologne. His stillness, easiness, the kind of man you can count on, set your watch by, survive the long night beside.

A year after the shark attacks, Matt Hooper keeps coming back to Amity.

360-degree feedback. by bysine. Gen. Doctor Strange-Shang-Chi crossover where Wong is haunted by Wenwu. Fills in some blanks in an amusing way. I really enjoyed spending time with Wong and finding out more about him and Mordo.

This Crude Matter by rain_sleet_snow. Gen. "In a ramshackle trading post on Jakku, Baze and Chirrut find a girl who sings with the Force, and who knows only two things for sure. One: her name is Rey. Two: her family will return for her." Loved this take on what TFA could have been, seeing the Rogue crew on a different path, and a more fulfilled childhood for Rey.

Another Life by LullabyKnell. Gen. "In one moment, James T. Kirk is the acting captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, on his way home to Earth after stopping the Narada. In the next moment, without explanation, James T. Kirk is an Academy cadet on academic probation again, barely a day before Nero will destroy Vulcan." Great read, with a few twists and some extended thoughts about what it means when everything doesn't go wrong after all.

The Peter Tingle by igrockspock. Gen. Fun encounters between Yelena and Peter Parker post-Hawkeye and Spiderman No Way Home.

the ship in port is the safer one (but it's not the reason it was made) by KiaraSayre. Gen. "The Enterprise's first mission is a boring one. Luckily, the ship more or less makes its own trouble, including: stills, toilet paper, lighting issues, awkward crewmembers, lunchroom seating politics, and, of course, the Admiralty."

Aside from the amusing bits, the thing I most enjoyed about this Kelvin verse story is that the problems in it seemed SO REALISTIC. This is exactly how organizations function and it's absolutely great to see it. It's the sort of story one could base a whole series around.

Standing in the Way of Control by Trelkez. Beautiful looking Star Wars vid that ties things together so nicely across generations. Of struggles, victories and losses.

Steve Rogers: PR Disaster by idiopathicsmile. "The Story of Steve “Walking PR Nightmare” Rogers, and How For a Short While He Single-Handedly Destroyed the Emotional Health of Eva Laura Ortiz, His Now Ex-Publicist." As intriguing for a look at how things have changed for us less than we think, as it is funny to see happen to someone else.

That Don't Impress Me Much by hexenmeister. Even though I have only seen a few episodes of The West Wing, C.J. Cregg's personality comes across quite clearly. And I think someone would be hard pressed to make a better vid for her than this one.

Running Away From Home by atamascolily. "Finn learns to stop running away from and start running to." Wonderful look at Finn's journey and an excellent choice of musical track.

to treat everything as if it were a nail by thingswithteeth. "Jyn Erso is raised as a hostage of the Empire. It matters less than it should. There are many different ways to rebel." I loved reading a different arc to Jyn's story, one which builds slowly but with more hopeful developments.

I’m a Ruler by Shohreh Aghdashloo. I celebrated finishing The Expanse by watching this vid of Chrisjen Avasarala, certainly one of the most compelling characters in any series. Also, one of my favorites. Would that we could all rely on someone like Chrissy.

Gwen on the Throne by headfirrstforhalos. Magnificent portrait of the Once and Future Queen.

Darth Vader Goes to Therapy by LadyVader23. Luke becomes a therapist rather than a Jedi and then is the only one willing to take on a most difficult and dangerous client. Starts out intending to be cracky but winds up being a more serious, if often hilarious story.

Masters of War (Pegasus Rising Remix) by bironic. Stargate Atlantis vid that looks at the impact the Pegasus expedition had on the cultures they encountered.

Once and Future by zazrichor. Stunning artwork of Merlin bestowing kingship on Arthur.

[Vid] Rebels Rising by condnsdmlk. A reminder that it's Star Wars and that the Rebellion lives. A great ride.

Hercule Polycule by Kerguelen. So fun to watch! The song alone would make you laugh but the perfect choices throughout to set up Poirot, Hastings and Japp in this jaunty little vid is a delight to canon fan and non-fan alike.

Murderbot's Law by pendrecarc. Captures Murderbot's voice very well and is a nice mini-adventure.

[FANVID] So Emotional by Emcee1138. "A tribute to Spock and all of the people who love him." Spock across the different series. That shrug at 8 seconds in -- HA!

Explosions by PoliticalPadmé (magnetgirl). An excellent look at the connections and conflicts across the Star Wars generations with some striking transitions and matched shots across films.
