Chocolate Box
Feb. 16th, 2019 05:49 pmThe Chocolate Box collection has opened! And I got two fics!!! (This often happens when you end up on the pinch hit list, I’ve discovered.) Now I feel a little bad about not writing any treats, whoops. Next exchange maybe!
After the Storm, Agent Carter, Peggy/Dottie, Dottie shows up after Howard’s funeral. I love the sense of shared history in this one: Peggy and Dottie have known each other for over forty years at this point, and the fic does a great job making them still feel like themselves but older, more experienced, and slightly less stabby. I also love the way that their friendship - can you really call it a friendship when they’ve tried to kill each that many times? - their relation blurs the lines between the personal and professional: Dottie really is here to support Peggy after Howard’s death, but you also get the feeling that she knows there’s more to Howard’s “accidental” death than there appears and she’s maybe got a professional interest in that.
Trustworthy Junior Agent, The Spy Who Dumped Me, beautiful Morgan & Audrey friendship (I love how they support each other and wisecrack together) AND ALSO Morgan’s beautiful ridiculous crush on their boss Wendy, who sternly attempts to repress Morgan’s irrepressible wooing technique (cat memes! Edible Arrangements snuck past multiple layers of security in a country where they don’t even sell Edible Arrangements!) but is secretly oh-so-slightly amused. (Plus, you know Morgan would be SO disappointed if she won Wendy over too easily. Someday Wendy might stoop to kiss her forehead, probably while Morgan lies in a hospital bed after foiling a terrorist plot, and Morgan would consider this the height of all felicity.)
