You're All Fired

[redbrunja]

You know, I try not to bitch about ff.net because frankly, it's kind of cheap. Yes, yes, we all know the terrible, terrible fics that are there. Yes, yes, we all know that the moderators are in denial about the fact that the internet and fanfiction is for porn. And that they keep making stupid-ass rules in a vain and futile attempt to raise the bar. That said, some of the best fics I've ever read have been hosted on ff.net.

So. Given the fact that fandom has not seen fit to deliver AT LEAST twenty post-movie Bourne Legacy fics (which is a shameful, shameful oversight) I ventured onto fanfiction.net to try and find some Marta/Aaron fics.

Words can't really describe what happened to my emotions when I did that, so let me illustrate with some gifs:



So I started reading some summaries and went:




followed shortly by:




and then I attempted to actually read a couple in the hopes that their bland but grammatically correct summaries were hiding a hidden gem:



No dice:



So I closed my browser window, all:

Ouch. I can get why my tiny fandom sections make me all but weep openly at the badfic and "lol I know this is in the wrong section" bullshit, but the Bourne Legacy seems like it'd be a decent-sized fandom.

Dude, AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Bourne%20Trilogy%20(Movies)/works). Plenty to work from there.

Actually not. Most of those fics are for the first three Bourne movies and to be quite honest, I don't want to read fic about Jason Bourne - I was to read fic about Aaron Cross and/or Marta Shearing, of which there are SIX FICS total and I've read all of them. Which is REALLY disappointing because there is a LOT of meaty, fairly easy to explore things in the Bourne Legacy, besides it just being a kick-ass movie.

Drat.

. . . 9 fics (http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Aaron%20Cross*s*Marta%20Shearing/works) if you go under the pairing tag? And bournelegacyfic seems like something you could at least keep an eye on.

Yeah, it's slim pickings. And I will keep an eye on that comm.
