While never reaching the ubiquity of Oasis's Wonderwall, there was a time and place where this would be in the repertoire of every young person who brought an acoustic guitar to a house party or camping trip.
Izzy Hands (right): a man who needs a multi-party introduction to hugging.
I talked about the Feral Five (Archie/Fang/Frenchie/Izzy/Jim) in the previous post about favourite poly ships, but for this manifesto I'd like to expand that further to All Deck on Hands—the inarguably perfect ship name for Izzy Hands and the entire crew of the Revenge.
(And how much do I love being in a fandom where a polycule straying into the double digits has a name and a fanbase?) Exact numbers on this polycule vary based on who's aboard the Revenge when the story's set, but for me, I'm most often adding Lucius Spriggs, Black Pete, Roach, Wee John Feeney, and Oluwande Boodhari to the previous fivesome in a post-canon setting.
There were a lot of Leonard Cohen songs in the running, but his 1988 I'm Your Man album fit tidily into the lineup, and this is one of the tracks on it that I'm always in the mood to listen to. (That said, I might also be sneaking in a cover of a Cohen song later on in the series.)
Title: Here We Are Fandom: Chance (2015) Relationships: Amir Abbas/Trevor Bunting Rating: General Word Count: ~850 Content Info: n/a Summary: An early morning during the first Ramadan of Trevor and Amir's marriage. Notes: Written for the 2026 round of bethefirst. This story is also available on AO3.
The short film this fic is based on was made available for free online by its director, and I really recommend it if you're in the mood for a very sweet later in life romance between a socially isolated widower and a refugee fleeing state violence with his own loss who meet in a London park one day and offer each other a new lease on life.
For 1987, we have a track off Robbie Robertson's first solo album after leaving The Band and following a decade of largely producing, collaborating, and doing soundtrack work. It's also one of my "two nickels" in terms of all-time favourite songs that ended up being covered by Rod Stewart exactly four years after they were released.
I won't have a chance to tuck in until tomorrow, but this year's bethefirst collection is open!
This challenge involves writing the first fic for a fandom, and this time out there are 37 fics with 37 newly minted fandom tags, ranging from early 20th century contemporary novels to fantasy webcomics, horror podcasts, and art films.
