FIC: [Agent Carter] Control - Sousa/Thompson, R

Um, okay, these went unanon earlier than I was expecting. So I wrote this. I have no particular idea where to post, this, so if anyone knows any communities that would be good.

I usually try not to divert from canon this much unless writing a specific AU, but I kind of screwed up, and by the time I realised it would have been impossible to disentangle the story before the deadline, so the background timeline is skewed. Still, sex pollen!

It's not an exchange, you sign up for creature prompts and then write a spooky/scary/horror type story of your choice. And you should do it, because yay Halloween fic!

Previous efforts:

Shutup I can't write short things.

And yes, I'm signing up again for "Ghost" but I have a very different inkling of an idea in mind this time.

There doesn't seem to be a community -- on Livejournal or Dreamwidth -- for Agent Carter.

What the hell. What the hell. What the hell?????

Am I hallucinating? Is there one that just eluded my search? Can anyone tell me?

Are we really all so far gone with Tumblr etc that this is a thing that is not required?

Should I make one?

Apparently House Divided wants to be podficced. At least, I've just spent an hour on a reading of the prologue.

That'll be a challenge. And most definitely posted part by part.

I feel like I have little control over which fics want to be read and which don't, at times.

I never did the fic autopsy thing on House Divided, and it probably should have one. I mean, there's so much in it. But at the same time I'm not sure I can muster that many thoughts. Maybe podding it will help to do that. There's something there about emasculating traditional concepts of heroism, and tragedy and character flaw (and utilization of such, in the end, to create the solution, Troubles working with personality as they do), and lots of other overthinky crap, I'm sure. And villainy actually being villainy. Part 3 may prove to be ultimately a redemption story (I haven't started it yet). House is still firmly entrenched in the rage of a Mara who's been used by other people and had her agency stolen from her for hundreds of years. Which is a pretty big rage.

Speaking of which, I've been watching Dollhouse. I'm on episode 9. I am both appalled and fascinated. It has all the consent and agency issues that are a huge draw for me, but it makes me angry as fuck. Especially with the feeling that I'm supposed to root for characters who are perpetuating something so absolutely fucking horrible as the complete violation of not just bodies but personhood.
