I Convinced My Mom To Watch Warrior Nun And She Was Telling My Dad About It And I Promise You This Is

what are your fave warrior nun fics?

Oh, anon. You don't even know the can of worms you've just opened. Here are a few (a few!) of my favorites.

Firstly, teach me to love, as you have loved me by @birgittesilverbae. It's in the POV of Beatrice as she grows up in the OCS, putting Shannon, Mary and Lilith in the limelight as well, and the most recent chapter (12k!) has gone through essentially all of canon. It's about grief and family and warmth and loss and it's so fucking good. Cannot recommend this more.

Next I have sunday people (sunday shines for you) by @piratekane. Sundays are for the girls, by the way. if you even care. This is peak pining behavior, miscommunication that isn't just there for the dramatics, and Ava being The Best Girl Ever (and the most jealous girl ever). Fantastic fic.

Then there's show me something of a reckoning by @thirteenyasmin, which is a given, of course. Switzerland canon-divergent fic where, as the tags say, fake-dating becomes real-dating. As they deserve. Has some lines that will tear your soul to pieces in the best way.

Next is Nice jugs, a climbing AU by @cowboycatd. Do you know anything about climbing? No? Me, neither. But this series of fics describes it--alongside exceptionally-written flirting--masterfully. You should read Climbing AU.

Then I have falling (for you) like snow on christmas by @justawhitewall. Hallmark movie AU! They're much better when they're Avatrice, by the way. I read it during the posting and have reread it at least once a month ever since. Incredible.

Spellbound by @omomoification. Witch (kinda) AU! Will sweep you away into the world that's created and you won't even notice as the 15k goes by in a flash. Fucking gorgeous piece of art. Made me insane, made some people break the character limit while commenting.

the imprint of your soul on mine (feels nothing short of divine) by @the-penguinspy. Read this if you're feeling down, because you won't be when you're done. The softest thing you could ever read, and I read a lot of soft things. Fic that gives you a hug and a gentle kiss on the top of your head.

And last but certainly not least, A Bit of Earth by @whatwordsmiss. Full fic isn't posted yet but it is written, and this story is just... wonderful. It's about grief, it's about growing up, it's about falling in love and healing together and healing apart and being kind and, sometimes, in particular moments, it's about a Garden. A must-read.

WHY SUPERCORP ALREADY WON

I know there are people out there who are not getting tired of telling us "supercorp isn't going to happen because the sc fans are bullies/are toxic/the worst, blah blah blah, and need to be punished".

The truth is, they don't know what will happen, no one does (except the people who actually work on the show).

And yet they keep yelling it into the void of the internet with a conviction like it's already set in stone.

But why? They probably think they say it in order to disillusion us, but that just shows they don't know us. They don't know what it's like to be queer and to find yourself in a fictional ship. They don't know what we've already been through.

The truth is they can't disillusion us because we have no illusions. We know what can happen, we've seen it before. No one is more prepared for supercorp not happening than us. Queer fans have been disappointed by tv shows/movies for decades, we barely know anything else.

So what if supercorp isn't going to happen? We'll do what we have always done and will continue to do. We'll take the loss, dust ourselves off and go back to creating fanart and fanworks. We'll keep our fandom alive. Like the sq fandom, the clexa fandom and so many others have done before, the sc fandom will do it too.

There's nothing for us to be afraid of. We don't actually expect this time to be different. We prepare for the worst (and hope for the best), like we always do.

The anti-sc people however, their hate is all they got. No fanworks, no community, no hope.

So what if sc actually becomes canon? They'll be the ones who don't know how to handle the disappointment. They rarely had to before. Not in the same capacity as we queer fans anyway. They'll have nothing left, because they don't have much to begin with. They'll lose.

That's why they are afraid. That's why they yell "supercorp is not going to happen" over and over again. They are desperate, they need their own words to become true. They yell it to comfort themselves. They yell it to drown out their fear, like warriors storming into a battle.

They can't see they've already lost. The war is already over and they've chosen the losing side.

Because the truth is, no matter if supercorp happens or not, we have already won. We are and forever will be the biggest fandom of the show. Our fanworks will outlast the show. Our community will be here long after all the haters have moved on (probably to another fandom they can harass). Our ship will be remembered by generations of queer women, even after pop culture has long forgotten about the cishet ships and the show itself. Canon supercorp or not, we'll be the last ones standing.
