My notes:

 

I really like the kind of AUs that adapt the canon storylines in them and then take off on their own, and this does that extremely well. I love the characterizations as well as the relationships among the group and how many of them grow into themselves. And it comes with beautiful art, too!

Fic masterpost, a cat, and office move

I finally finished my Marvel fic masterpost (which is currently the only one I have but maybe there'll be more), you can see it here. I sorted the fics by which part of canon (if any) they're compliant with, and will add stuff as I write more. There's also a link to it on the sticky post on top of my blog.

I'm currently catsitting for my sister, she's moving and there'll be final renovations done at her apartment over the next week, so it's better that her cat can be somewhere not stressful. He was a rescue, so he's had quite enough of stress for lifetime already, and he likes it fine at my place. Here's a photo of him relaxing earlier today.

Yesterday we found out we'll be moving to a new office building at the end of this year. It was pretty much expected, our company has been growing and we're running out of space, but it's still something to get used to. The setting of the new building is definitely a downgrade (it's right next to a big intersection, while we're now at a relatively quiet area), and the building itself isn't as nice as ours. They're currently renovating it, so at least it can be made as suitable as possible for us.

Biggest thing is my commute will be significantly longer (going from 35 minutes to 55 minutes) than it is now, but on the other hand I've been kind of thinking of moving (to a nicer apartment in a good environment), and the biggest quibble I had was the extra commute time. After the office move it would be about the same from the new area compared to where I live now, so the problem kind of got eliminated. Guess I'll look at apartments with a renewed vigor:D
