#Weekly RoundUp

X-Comics Weekly Roundup

Hey folks, trying something new here. The way my creativity works is like the weather. Often it's cloudy and I don't feel inspiration, but the flipside of that is a lovely day - then it just pours out of me. Well, the sun is shining.

I post whatever interests me thrice a day and I always review the flagship X-Men books, except this week there isn't one. I need to write something and feel like reviewing, so I'm going to do mini reviews of all the X books that dropped this week. Two paragraphs or three per book. Way less if I'm feeling cynical and can think of a one liner/joke. If people like it, I'll make a habit of it. Spoilers for all of them, of course. To me, my X-books!

NYX #10

I have conflicting feelings about NYX. The Hivemind wrap up this premature final issue about as admirably as can be expected, tying up loose plot threads. The Mojo hi/bye feels abrupt, but that's unavoidable when your book gets cancelled and a crossover runs through it. Each issue has had something interesting to say or show, and using all-brain Alleyne's power of common sense and communication to rally all corners of NYX in solidarity (plus Doop) to fight a big bad who sees people as units feels appropriate. The fight is whatever but it doesn't really matter. It's intentionally atypical. They win through people power and sapphic love. Sobunar has a mobile phone too! Good for them, I wonder who they call.

They win and cheer but someone's not laughing. It's fucking cousin Bilal being an obnoxious pest and calling Ms Marvel out. She unapologetically addresses him as Kamala Khan and he's stunned. Dude changes his tune by coldly advising her to never tell her parents, as it would break their hearts. It's a lot to fit into one issue, but after tying off loose ends it segues into the Kamala show ahead of her 5 Giant-Size X-Men one shots.

It's a sensible and bold ending under the circumstances, and even takes a breath to fit a 'should I tell my family?' scene with a single sentence from David and Sophie - succinctly pouring their years of secrecy and experiences into a few words. NYX took some pretty big swings and felt like the loving continuance of Krakoa's story and characters in a new world. It was really starting to cook but the time constraints are visible. NYX needed and deserved more time. I want more time with it. I trust the Hivemind with the Kamala nostalgia tour in Giant-Size X-Men History, but in a mostly drab line NYX's colour and community will be missed. For me at least, it's going to drag the curve down. I'm still hungry, and that's not on the writers. Morlocks! Cuckoos! Queers! Ideology! Arakki! Synch! Fauna! Kiden! Hellion! NYX (the clubhouse thing!) Dante (probably - we know jack shit.) A nibble is not enough and a thousand boos to Marvel's play it safe publishing practices. I appreciate the genuine efforts to go wide and include all these underrepresented things so much. I'm glad it happened but I'm wistful about what could have been.

WOLVERINE AND KITTY PRYDE #1

I think I missed the solicits for this one lol. I had no idea they dug up Claremont to write about moments in between the Ogun arc - ninjas, Japan, Kitty and Logan, Yakuza, feudalism, samurai, and a shitload of angst. It deals with the aftermath of Ogun possessing Kitty and turning her into a killing machine. She's horribly traumatized so Logan is 'helping' her with a gruelling 'training' regime. She's not enjoying it even a little bit until she saves a kid from ninjas and gets over it. I LOVE how Logan is explicitly ignoring everyone's wishes and wearing traditional Japanese garb (I think? With Claremont who fucking knows.) He sounds like a maniac weeb and basically usurps her father to his face unapologetically. Even Yukio is like 'duuuude..' It's Sensei Logan at his most ridiculous - and THAT is saying something.

Aside from the complete lack of sexualisation, it's a very Claremont book. The purple prose is quaint - even restrained and the dialogue pops. The hybridised art style definitely suits the mood while reining in Claremont's usual excesses. His pedigree from his 16 year tenure has afforded him a lot of latitude in the past. Too much. It's not explicit but I feel like someone is telling him no. Kitty is drawn as a rake thin prepubescent next to Logan's squat brutishness and Carmen's middle aged banker vibes. The women don't get a lot to do or say, but for a 2025 Claremont #1 it's worth a look if you like the characters. The narrator should shout at the characters. Maybe next issue.

Can we just not discuss Xavier for a while pls?

Carmen Pryde gets shit on even further, sandbagging the reader with fond memories of Xavier then switching it around to stating how much of a manipulative bastard he is. I enjoy him speaking his pain and not minimising how abnormal this is - tying it in to Exceptional X-Men thematically - but his impotent bitterness at having no say over his 14 year old daughter is heart-rending. Xavier and Logan are like uncaring self-justifying Gods ignoring the hatred and agency of lesser men. Astride the narrative and the world making things happen while the bozos watch from the sidelines if they're lucky. Kitty is in the lesser pantheon, denied agency and childhood while living constant danger, but still special compared to her father.

WEAPON X-MEN #3

ROGUE: THE SAVAGE LAND #4

Didn't take long to go from rejecting X-Men completely to being on multiple teams. Shocking.

Yeah I don't have a lot to say about this one, as it's Deadpool and Wolverine plus Cable fighting Nazi robots and not much else. Chamber and Thunderbird are wasted, with the latter regressing from his Krakoan arc then spending the issue getting beaten up off panel. Chamber shoots a fireball I think? I don't know why they're here, they should have just cloned Logan twice. I swear the book was about something else in the first two issues, but it's not. Cable basically kidnapped everyone except Proudstar, who they met in Latveria about to attack DOOM by himself or something. If you like gruff masculine violence and a thin plot with Deadpool pedantically lampshading the low effort, then this is your jam. No judgement, but it's not for me. The name is a bit weird too. Logan and Wade are products of Weapon X, chamber infiltrated them briefly and got a new body, but Cable and Thunderbird? No association I know of.

People seem to be enjoying this romp, but I just can't be bothered. I love Magneto but he's not at his best here. It's Rogue's story, as it's meant to be, and I don't feel like it's adding much to the original than a fresh coat of paint and a vague, slow Zaladane God plot. I know it's cynical, but remixed nostalgia doesn't excite me easily. I keep an open mind but this, the Giant-Size one shots, the Emma Frost upcoming set in the past, Wolverine and Kitty Pryde, etc. Marvel is the House of Ideas and it'd be good to see some new ones, you know? New ideas. I'm not really a webhead fan - the X-Men is my shit - but Ultimate Spider-Man #15 dropped this week and it's full to the brim with new ideas.

Maybe it's not fair to compare it to one of the best, if not the best, Marvel ongoings right now, but is this really the best we can do? I feel like these kinds of projects should be a victory lap when the current line is humming. Something special instead of one of many old stories shined up. I'm sure plenty of folks are digging it, but I can't help but look at the entire line. Don't get me wrong adjectiveless and Uncanny look like they might be kicking into gear, but we're a year and two crossovers into the reboot and there's not much there.

ASTONISHING X-MEN INFINITY COMICS

Came out last week but I have been following it. It's not really about the Krakoan diaspora and the labour market right now. It was, and the workers realised that fucking Murray was the enemy. Yay! Then Banshee the cop stopped them getting his ass. Boo! The narrative has veered off into a bit of a holding pattern until the next thing happens, but there was a partial Gen X reunion and Skin is in Banshee's castle just chilling. I'll let you know if it picks up again.

That's the week that was in X-Comics. Overall, pretty dull. It feels like there's double digit books out each week so the low number and average quality this week left me dissatisfied. NYX was a bright spot, but it just got cancelled. I've been reading the 1963 X-Men run, Bendis' Uncanny X-Men, an Ultimate Spider-Man re-read to process new information, and working on an X-Men event title prediction machine. I enjoyed doing this column - with less commitment and research required than for a full review. Hope you enjoyed reading it. ❤️

Brewed Awakenings for @jessixaluci [T]

The Case of the Mysterious Baker for @sorrybutblog [G]

Ceilings. for @karamelised [M]

Fic:

Where Starlight Falls for @citrusses [E, ~33,700]

The magic concealing Sirius’s Last Will and Testament doesn’t reveal the full extent of Harry’s inheritance until two years after the war. When it does, it turns out that Harry has inherited more than just the Black Family vault—he’s inherited the family’s magic, too. He just has to find it first. And he needs Draco Malfoy’s help to do it.

Runaway Train for @lqtraintracks [E, ~18,100]

Harry was already keen to figure out what’s been causing a series of disturbances in the London Underground before Draco Malfoy showed up acting suspicious. Two explosions, several very confused Muggles, and a cloud of mysterious sticky powder later, Harry and Malfoy can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. Can Harry shag his way to the answer to all of his questions? Seems unlikely, but what can a man do but try?

At Night All Birds Are Black for IzRoan [E, ~51,800]

Harry loves being an Auror—the long hours, adrenaline-fuelled chases, and even the paperwork. But when a haunting leads to his suspension, he’s forced to continue his investigation in secret. As he unravels the murder of a young girl, he turns to the one person he never expected he’d need: Draco Malfoy.

The Melting Point of Wax for @vukovich [M, ~10,500]

Harry Potter is many things: captain of the Chudley Cannons, the fun uncle, a good enough friend, comfortable in the life he's built for himself. Comfortable, that is, until a risque broom advertisement and a rumor about a fellow athlete come together to send him spiralling into the world of high-stakes broom racing, high-flying turtles, and the chaos of falling in love.

Body and Soul for @a-sentimental-man [M, ~22,200]

When the headaches became worse and it got more and more difficult for Draco to work, he was left with no other choice but to recognise his stupid problem exactly for what it was. Even if that meant realising that the best, or perhaps even only, solution could solely come from one person: the one person he hadn’t seen for months, the one person he was still in love with. The one person who should never know. Because, clearly, Harry would never be able to give Draco what he needed anyway.

The Pain From an Old Wound for @sharperthan [T, ~31,100]

Getting hit with a mysterious blood curse is all in a day’s work for Harry Potter. Having to work with his former colleague, rival, bully, and boyfriend, is not. Harry’s not sure which is going to do him in first: the curse sucking his magic dry, or Draco Malfoy, as frustrating, condescending, and painfully attractive as he’s always been.

The Most Splendid Thing for @sleepstxtic [E, ~61,200]

Star Quidditch rivals Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter become accidentally bonded. They still hate each other, but now it’s untenable to leave each other’s sides—and my, but it feels oh so good to touch. They’re either going to murder one another, or fall in love. OR: A story in which Draco finally allows himself happiness, and Harry finally learns that he deserves to be whole.

Borealis Green for @faiell [E, ~47,200]

Draco left Harry on the night of their first kiss, when they were eighteen. Ten years later, Harry, now Deputy Lead of the Norwegian Aurors, barges back into Draco's life at the Ministry, seeking his help—both personal and professional—for a case, to re-capture Rodolphus Lestrange and Augustus Rookwood. Turns out that Draco couldn’t really get over Harry, either.

[weeklyhotchniss]

💜 Fic Recs: March 30-April 6

made your mark on me (M) by @justagirl-purplejellosg1 chapter 1/1 tags: young hotchniss, emily prentiss's tattoo

He isn't hers anymore, she reminds herself. And she tells herself it's easier to pretend he never was, despite the mark he left she still wears with pride.

Release (E) by @cloudlessly-light chapter 2/2 tags: smut, bdsm, exhibitionism

The way she would look at him with adoration made him feel powerful, a release in itself as she surrendered to him. For those moments she was his everything.

we will smile to end each day (in places we won’t walk) (T) by @leavemurph chapter 1/1 tags: drunk aaron hotchner, love confessions

"Don't hold this against me tomorrow when I'm sober and realizing saying this might be the dumbest thing I've ever done," he continues. "But I might be in love with you. Actually, forget might. I am. And it's bad."

kiss the cook (M) by @ssaemilyhotchner chapter 11/48 tags: young hotchniss, falling in love, longfic

She had been at these crossroads before, of course—but this was different. For the first time, she had a place that truly felt like home, people who felt like family. Was she really prepared to turn her back on that? 

Wrench (G) by @sequinsmile-x chapter 1/1 tags: emily prentiss whump, fluff, first kiss

When she fell in the park, her ankle twisting beneath her as she cried out in shock more than pain, she’d seen the look in his eyes. Love and adoration he’d been terrible at hiding as he watched her play with Jack, suddenly turning into abject fear.

Weekly Roundup: 17th March - 23th March

There was only one fic this week with 966 words of a 15,000 weekly word goa,l, meaning we are at 19,270 of my monthly 60,000 word goal (yikes lol)

So, without further ado, this weeks fic recs.

What is Right and What is Easy - WinterSky101 - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own] (Gen fic, Percy Weasley-centric)

Summary: The war hits the Ministry hard, and Percy Weasley is stuck in the middle of it.

Harry was really hoping for a normal fourth year ... - nlpiersee - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own] (Another Gen fic, this one Harry-cnetric, divergent 4th year)

Summary: Harry was ... depressed. The Tournament stated he was required to participate, somehow. Which was stupid since he hadn't actually entered. Thankfully, he has Fred and George Weasley. Instead of first meeting with the other Champions for the Wand Weighing Ceremony, they're all required to have medical evaluations done to document injuries they have prior to starting everything. Fred and George are acting suspiciously like they suspected this would happen the whole time, but the other Champions fully jump on board the 'protect Harry' train, regardless of what he says.

A Life Well Lived - MannixMind - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own](Sirius/Remus, Draco/Harry, Master of Death Draco)

Summary:  Five Times MasterofDeath!Draco Malfoy intervened to give Sirius Black the life he deserves.

Follow the Butterflies - RainstormRadish - Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling [Archive of Our Own] (Flying Ford Anglia/Aragog, I know it sounds .... but its actually beautifully written)

Summary: There is a visitor. A new beast in the Forest. It has four legs, like the centaurs, but it’s unlike anything Aragog has ever sensed. Cold, metallic, clanging. Few dare to venture deep enough into the Forest to reach Aragog’s lair, and those who do creep and hide, avoiding the Acromantula. The visitor makes no effort to be stealthy. It tramples through the undergrowth, loud and unapologetic. Foolhardy. Reckless. Intriguing.

Toss A Bard To Your Warlord - TheSilverQueen - The Witcher (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Summary: Jaskier stares. “That,” he says cautiously, “is a baby.”

Eric grunts an affirmative.

“Why do you have a baby?” Jaskier demands, because although Eric of the Wolf School is a Master Witcher and has shown extreme skill in everything from tracking monsters to slaying monsters to bashing knights over the head, not once has he ever displayed even the slightest interest in babies.

Eric gives him a look. And then he gives Jaskier the baby.

And that is how Jaskier ends up leaving Cintra: with a Witcher, a baby, and a milk goat.

Letters from the war - ArthurtheGatekeeper - The Witcher (TV) [Archive of Our Own] (Geralt/JAskier, WW2 au, letter fic)

Summary: The draft comes for every able bodied adult man who can bleed. The war needs blood. But it also needs food. This saves Geralt from the front.

The same is not true of Jaskier.

As always, | hope you found something to read, adn let me know if oyu have any recs.

Now, my one little fic was for @flashfictionfridayofficial - #297 - Like a weed.

Toss a Coin to Your witcher (Because the world is loud and accomodations are expensive)

Summary: Geralt is suffering from overstimulation due to his potions. Jaskier is not helping, until he does with accomodations Geralt would never have know about, let alone used.

Unemployed and On Guard for @makeitp1nk [T]

No One but Me for justlikewriting [M]

Fic:

Second Chance Resort for @elizah321[E, ~42,800]

A holiday forced on him by his friends after the latest in a long string of failed relationships might be a chance for Harry to relax, but all that is thrown up in the air by the appearance of one newly divorced Draco Malfoy. Mainly because they had been together almost fifteen years ago before Draco broke it off to marry the woman his mother chose for him… Feat. a matchmaking hotel, a spa day, an all-knowing Weasley, and friends who do try their best, but can get a little distracted.

Seven-and-sixpence for @oknowkiss [E, ~35,700]

The entire plan of Harry’s life had been defeat evil, become an Auror, marry Ginny. Not necessarily in that order, but it seemed to be going that way, the first two managed and the third in easy limbo. He can be better, though. He can be more. Draco will see to it.

Slip Slidin’ Your Way (In a Land of Fire and Ice) for @frm9pm [T, ~9,800]

How does a war-scarred young wizard recuperate and create a new identity? Harry opens himself to the magic of the land. Draco learns to wonder at the humblest of creatures. Years later, Magigeologist Evan Jameson and Malacologist Derek Black begin an enthusiastic correspondence. They’re in for a shock when they finally meet. Or: Science nerds go to Iceland and fall in love. Or: Why should kelp have all the fun?

Pillar of Salt for @agentmoppet [E, ~62,200]

From the lake in the Room of Hidden Things, Draco knows three things: 1. Mirror universes exist, and he’s going to find the best one—the one where he did the right thing. 2. Harry Potter and him are awfully cosy in some of these other universes, whereas Potter in real life is starting to act very odd around him indeed. 3. Draco’s reflection—the mirror version of him, the worst version of him—seems to be growing crueler. And stronger.

Prescription for @fantalfart [G, ~2,600]

Draco couldn't say he hated his job, not really. In fact, he loved it⁠—and wasn't that something surprising, a Malfoy being a Healer, when most of them hadn't worked a day in their lives?—and most of all, he loved knowing that he was helping people heal, above anything else. (And if there was a part of him that craved the normalcy of something that helped instead of what he had been taught to do his entire life? Well. That was between himself and his journal when he remembered to write in it.) (And maybe there was another reason too.)

Old love don't rust for @drarrydoodles [E, ~20,600]

“Why do you keep coming?” Malfoy asked at last. Harry mulled over the question. For a moment he debated trying to turn the tables and asking Malfoy the very same thing. But this time he didn’t want to hold back. “Because I can’t stop,” Harry said.

Equipoise for khalulu [T, ~88,200]

Ten years of peace have settled over the wizarding world, leaving Harry Potter feeling strangely adrift. Teaching Defense at Hogwarts is fine and all, but when mysterious magical blackouts start sweeping across the country, he can't help but jump at the chance to investigate. It would be the perfect outlet for his restless energy - if he didn't suddenly find himself tangled up in an elaborate charade, pretending to date the Prophet's most illustrious journalist, Draco Malfoy. Between hunting down the cause of the blackouts and maintaining their ruse, Harry's beginning to think that peacetime might actually be trickier - and far more surprising - than he'd bargained for.

Victory Lap for @traylalascrisis [E, ~4,700]

“I wasn’t sure if you’d want to eat first.” For emphasis, he pinches the skin at my waist. I want to cover myself in him. I want to roll in him like a dog. I want to devolve on top of him. And he wants me to sit nicely and use a knife and fork first?
