FIC: Not Just For Hallmark Specials Anymore

Title: Not Just For Hallmark Specials Anymore
Fandom: Supernatural RPF
Pairings: Danneel/Jensen, Gen/Jared
Words / Rating: 24,000 words total / PG
Warnings / Contents: alpha/beta/omega, mpreg, hurt/comfort
Summary: Jensen's a pregnant omega running away from his past, and Danneel's the beta whose cafe he stumbles into. One night's shelter turns into a long-term arrangement, and Danneel finds herself falling for him, even though beta/omega relationships are considered pretty weird, and female!beta/male!omega relationships are considered really weird.

A/N: So here it is, folks, the kinkmeme WIP I've been hinting about for almost a year. I didn't expect it end up this long, and I really didn't expect it to take this long - I started it almost exactly a year ago as procrastination from my spn_reversebang fic and have been updating in fits and starts ever since. This is sheer idfic, folks. There's snow and lots of tea and soup, and also het mpreg a/b/o. Yes. And then about 5k in I decided to keep it at a PG rating, because I could.

The entire thing is here at spnkink_meme, but I'm posting it to AO3 in much more readable chunks over the next few days, and will add links here until I'm done. Feel free to comment wherever you like, if you are so moved. :)

comics read: Glory

( click for largish art )

OH MY GOODNESS, you guys, GLORY. Wow. Um. I realize that "Just go read it!" is a completely unhelpful review, but it is very tempting. Because you SHOULD.

This is a quite thorough reboot of an Image character from the 90s. (For an idea of how thorough, see #2 in this list of heroine costume redesigns. Yeah.) Glory is big and violent and an alien, and the little dark-haired gal to the left on the cover is Riley, who's a quite ordinary human. The blond gal on the right is a possibly less ordinary human called Gloria, because why not?

There's a war brewing, although the factions aren't entirely clear, but Glory's clearly in the thick of it, and by extension Riley and Gloria are, too, and there are big friendly monsters and big unfriendly monsters (difficult to tell apart) and a whole lot of blood. And it's just... very unexpected. I've finished the first trade (of two), and I'm not sure which direction we're taking this, although we've set up several options for ourselves.

And the art is, well. As you can see, not your standard superhero art, even though Image categorizes this as a superhero book. There's Glory, for one thing, who is very much not standard superheroine-shaped. However, she's very much the shape of someone who's going to do a whole lot of damage. But even besides her, there's a lot of visual creativity going on - I especially like how alien our aliens look.

Definitely acquiring the second volume. Possibly sooner rather than later.
