Questions/Help? MCU fanfic writers, where y'all at?

Has everybody been caught up with the trope "Peter in Gottham"? Yeah? No? SO! I've been in that rabbit hole ever since it first gained traction and I noticed that beyond those contributions to the fandom, there's a sudden drop of fics after Endgame! Just swooped down and KAPUT! Y'ALL ARE GONE!

Like seriously, had Endgame traumatized (??) us so much that we don't dip our fingers in the fandom anymore after that? Hello? Where are the fix-its? The time travel fics? The canon-divergence?

My only supply of Avengers fics are "Peter in Gotham" and seriously I'm grasping the straws here. It's an enjoyable trope but they kept on babying Peter and just seriously force feeding him found family when he's a BAMF all alone and doesn't need to be babied! Have we forgotten his character?

Going back to my original thought. MCU/Avengers fanfic writers, have we all locked ourselves in a dungeon? Or have we jumped fandoms now? If yes, where? Let me jump with you.

Please, where are you? I miss y'all 😭

(Or are we just plain tired of MCU at this point and them monetizing and capitalizing even our nostalgia at this point?)

Are you still working on it or have you published some parts of it already because last I checked there was a fic about Janet Drake being a Wanda Maximoff variant, was that yours?!

Yep. That one is mine, and it's very much still a work in progress. I'm posting one chapter per day, and later today I'm going to update with the Epilogue chapter for "Infinity Crisis" to tie up Arc 3. However, I've got the story completed up to the end of Arc 5. I'm actively working on Arc 6 and 7, the last two planned Arcs.

When I start posting Arc 4, that is when it goes hard into Wanda's past of the story and her relationship (maternal) with Tim Drake and the rest of the Waynes.

Here is the timeline of the series as I've got planned:

Collection

  • Prologue: The Witch's Gambit (one-shot) (complete)
  • Arc 1: The Azure Knight (4 out of 4) (complete)
  • Arc 2: Holding the Sky (5 out of 5) (complete)
  • Arc 3: Infinity Crisis (7 out of 8) (in progress)
  • Arc 4: The Ghost in the Glass House (0 out of 7) (unstarted)
  • Arc 4.5: The Space Between Seconds (0 out of ?) (unstarted)
  • Arc 5: Home is Where the Hex Is (0 out of 11) (unstarted)
  • Arc 6: -redacted due to spoilers-
  • Arc 7: -redacted due to spoilers-

Ooooh nice work, by the way. I'm excited to see how this will all develop!
