Summary
Leanalee, my foster sister, is hiding behind me while government agents (a.k.a. scary ass dudes with big ass guns in skin tight cat suits), and the Avengers surrounded us. Damn. Two rather odd looking people wearing body armor and carrying swords were watching the scene unfold from a distance. Just minutes ago we are in a class room and now this? I know. Our life sucks. What’s going on you ask? Maybe I should start from the beginning. All of this madness started two days ago.
In Other Words: Thor and Loki go crazy after the Battle Of New York so Frigga gives them fake memories, new personalities, changes them into 19 year old girls and sends them to Culver University on Midgard. Because nothing can go wrong with this plan whatsoever. -

Bottleneck by bonehandledknife (ladywinter), Primarybufferpanel (ArwenLune)
Fandoms: Mad Max Series (Movies)

Summary
Bottleneck: A crack with converging sides. Good for placing tapers or other passive protection.
Ace knew, knowing his men, that Kompass and Rachet have been trying to come to terms with the knowledge that their Imperator really did mean to sweep them off her back like sand flies. He saw their hesitance around her when she looked away from them, their uncertainty when there was nothing immediate to be done like bracing her or getting food or drink. When they look at her, Ace knew that they still saw the sandstorm barreling at them, knowing they weren’t protected from it like Joe’s ex-wives had been. Those women they’d been replaced with.
He knew they were braced for another storm, because he was too. Ace couldn’t get the memory of her face in that War Rig out of his mind, as he’d kept askin’ her and askin’ her, and how he’d be completely unable to read anything on it but determination.

And everything seems to work against him, against...the two of you. But he'll be damned for the both of you if he doesn't do everything he can to push the currents back.

Summary
After years of having fans asking for a Shield reunion, finally the WWE pulled the trigger on the reunion once they realized how over Dean and Seth were as a tag team. It was supposed to be an epic moment for the three wrestlers.
Dean Ambrose would never admit on the multiple interviews he went through that day and would go through the next day that for him it was overwhelming to say the least.
The first part of the As Long As We Know The Truth series will explore how media and fan pressure can affect a public figure. But what's real? What's not? How does it affect somebody like Dean, who stays away from social media and public appearances but can't stop them from invading his life? How does he deal with the abuse Renee receives? Does anyone care at all?

Bookmarker's Notes
Some of us grimaced at that squicky Usagi v Chibiusa 4 Mamo-chan subplot shenanigans and promptly pretended it didn't exist in the Mooniverse. Some of us never could forget or view the Royal Family in quite the same way ever again. (Some totally missed it or lol'd it off and have no idea what the rest of fandom is on about; those Sweet Summer Children).
.
But here and now, one fanfic author has dared to rise up to the challenge of addressing head on that (dog in the barn) elephant in the room, with the aim of seeing us -- and Usagi -- out the other side of this Extremely Awkward Subject's conversation with our sanity intact (as it ever was) and our emotional equilibrium more or less re-stabilized.
.
Give it up for our brave hero, StarlingChild4! *audience applause* -
