screaming loud enough to turn back the wind

So, yeah. I just wrote this little drabble thing and was hoping someone wanted to read over it and tell me it doesn't suck? Like, I really like it. But it's kinda weird. Cute in the way anglerfish are cute, I think.

The warnings are: Improperly marked dialogue due to stylistic choices. Symbolism. Bullshittery. Character death, after a fashion. Suicide by way of mythological figures, too. Mentions of Odin’s A+ parenting.

And the pairing? *sigh* There isn't really one, but if there were... Yggdrasil/Jörmungandr. *facepalm*

It's 500 words. I'll probably put it on Ao3 tomorrow after work, after rereading it about a dozen times. But if someone else wanted to look it over and give me their thoughts?

So, I thought I had a pretty good vocabulary... and then I started studying for the GRE.

Dude.

Why is it that the Dark Knight Trilogy is the only Batman fandom in which I don't really care about Bruce Wayne/Batman at all? I realized that a little while ago - he kinda bores me in those movies.

I mean, Batman is one of my all-time favorite characters. It doesn't really matter what 'verse of his I'm in. He's always interesting. Except in the Nolan movies. And I don't know why.



Also, could someone please explain to me why I just wrote a 1500ish word fic about Aaron Cross and William Brandt being twin brothers? It was exceedingly hard to not make them both into Clint Barton at the end.

( I have a lot of feelings about Loki, okay? )

So, I'm writing an Inception/Harry Potter next generation fic, with Eames&Arthur at Hogwarts. My question is this:

Besides Neville Longbottom, do we have any canon on teachers? I figure Flitwick would still be there and McGonagal is headmistress, but beyond that? Should I keep most of the old teachers or make some up?
