Comment Meta

[amaresu]

Femslash Mini Meta fest was an utter fail this year. And I'm still not in a place where I could do it, so I purpose Comment Meta. And let's have it cover all things female and fannish. However you define those.

How it works

1. Post a meta topic in a top level comment. Use the subject line for the meta subject and expand as you want in the body of the comment. Or don't.

2. Repeat Step 1 for as many meta ideas as you have.

3. Comment on other meta topics.


It's kinda like a kink meme, only with meta. Feel free to browse the mini meta tag for ideas.

This is meant to be about as low pressure as it comes. Feel free to write on your own journal/Tumblr/blog and link back here. Respond with as little or as much as you want. This post will remain open indefinitely, so please track it if that makes things easier for you.

Avengers: Natasha/Maria

[princessofgeeks]

Hi! Saw this rec'd by havocthecat. Thank you!

I am reading a bunch of Avengers these days, and although Maria Hill and Natasha Romanov have hardly any appearances when they are on screen together, I have been looking for more fic pairing them.

I just really see sparks flying between the two of them and I think they would have a lot of interesting things to say to each other.

Anybody else love them? Any recs?

If you're up for Maria/Pepper/Natasha, I really enjoyed Women's Weapons.

And I think there also were some recs here.

This is basically one of my very favourite ships. Let me see what I can dig up in my bookmarks over the next few days! (This is a sharing the squee and a placeholder comment :D)

Yes! I love Natasha/Maria in the MCU! I've written them a little but want to do more, because I think they're both really into control of various kinds, and having/losing control is so interesting to play with, for both of them. I imagine that they have a sort of fuckbuddies relationship, they've had sex a bunch of times, but neither of them really does traditional monogamy or romantic love. BUT honestly I would read pretty much any variation on that pairing.

PS, have you watched Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes? It doesn't have much in the way of Maria/Natasha in particular, but it does have LOTS of great Maria action, and I love the way she's characterized in the show. Plus there's Janet and Carol. :D

I don't suppose there's a list someplace of good Maria, Natasha, Carol, Janet episodes someplace? Because I've tried to watch it but I am so not interested in EMH's Tony Stark(fic Tony Stark, absolutely, but not EMH'S for some reason).

Re: Avengers: Natasha/Maria

[thingswithwings]

Hmmm, good question! I don't know of a list out there, but I would say generally that the first season is a lot more Tony and Steve heavy (and dude-heavy in general) and that the second season has way more ladies (Carol doesn't join the team till season two, for example). Unfortunately the season two plot arc is a giant mess, but, what can you do I guess. Offhand, without going back to watch them, I'd offer this list:

101/102 The Breakout 1 and 2 (Janet vs Maria tension!)
115 459 (Introducing Carol! With some lovely Janet/Carol)
116 Widow's Sting (Lots of Natasha, per the title, and also some great Mockingbird, another cool lady character)
120 The Casket of Ancient Winters (Janet in a bikini? I love this one idk)
221 Hail, HYDRA! (Natasha awesomeness, Maria-in-charge-of-SHIELD awesomeness)
125/126 The Fall of Asgard/A Day Unlike Any Other (Janet teams up with Sif and the Valkyries!)

201 The Private War of Doctor Doom (uneven, but has lovely Janet/Sue Storm interaction)
202 Alone Against AIM (lots of Maria, but she's in an action-romance movie with Tony in this one, so you might not like it. Also this is the only episode in EMH with Pepper in it, and it gives great Pepper.)
204 Welcome to the Kree Empire (YAY CAROL! A great Carol episode. This also introduces Abigail Brand, who is VERY shippable with Carol.)
207 Who Do You Trust? (More great Carol action, also Nick Fury assembles an all-lady team of Mockingbird, Black Widow, and Quake)
210 Prisoner of War (mostly about Steve, but gives really good Viper, who's a cool lady villain)
211/212 Infiltration/Secret Invasion (lots of great Maria and Carol in this, Natasha/Mockingbird/Quake also there.)
224/225 Operation Galactic Storm/Live Kree or Die (Carol and Janet, lots of big stuff going on)
226 Avengers Assemble (this one does the "we need a giant team of superheroes!" so all the ladies from the whole show are in this one pretty much, lots of cool teamups iirc).

If anyone can add to that list or wants to dispute some of it, please do! This is just as far as I can remember at the moment.

This is pure awesomeness! I have a feeling I know what I'm going to be doing with my free time this week.

Re: Avengers: Natasha/Maria

[cantarina]

Carol/Abigail forever *nods decisively*

Re: Avengers: Natasha/Maria

[thingswithwings]

agreeeeeeee. Though frankly I ship Carol with everyone - Janet, Maria, Rhodey, Jessica Drew, Monica Rambeau . . .

Re: Avengers: Natasha/Maria

[cantarina]

Basically, Carol deserves all of the good things.

Re: Avengers: Natasha/Maria

[princessofgeeks]

I have not watched that show! It sounds wonderful.

Re: Avengers: Natasha/Maria

[croissantkatie]

There's also podfic here of Red, read by latticeframes :D

Re: Avengers: Natasha/Maria

[acerbictomes]

The latest Iron Man comic has a lot of Maria + Natasha interaction in issues 14-18, if I remember correctly, so if you want more canon interaction, you could check that out.
