Summary: If life were a movie Jessica Jones would be the star of an After School Special, the prime example of what not to do with your life. But that's okay, because life isn't a movie and Jessica is just fine. Then she has to turn to SHIELD for a case and as she is sucked back into the life she has left behind and the past she doesn't want to remember things spiral out of her control.

In the movie of life you're always the main character, but this isn't the time for an After School Special. It's the time of superhero blockbusters, and Jessica's life is no exception.

( Notes and thanks )

I'm watching the Portugal vs. Spain match and writing fic simultaneously. The good news is that I haven't written 'penalty' once in the fic yet, but I'm not sure why I bothered with the match for the last 100+ minutes. If it's not going to end in a penalty shoot-out I'm gonna eat my non-existent hat.

On writing side of things, after signing up for marvel_bang I've obviously started writing Marvel fic. Fic is coming along well, 5000+ words at last word count. Now, if only my bigbang fic would go as smoothly... I had 2000 words, but scrapped them all. At least I have a plot. Though I'm not entirely sure whether or not I really HAVE a plot. It's all very confusing, and I deal with it by writing Natasha pregnancy fic for avengerkink. Or any of the other fills I started since discovering the meme. There are some great fills, check them out!

(Also: the match went to penalty shoot-out. My non-existent hat remains safe from consumption.)

I went to donate blood today. I didn't do my impression of a falling tree again and I got a free deck of playing cards and a compilation of fairy tales, so I'm considering it a success. ♥

Spain won the shoot-out, btw. I was kinda hoping for Portugal, but well. Tomorrow is Germany, fingers crossed that they will win as well! Though if it goes to penalty shoot-out as well I might just die. Please don't do this to me, guys! D:
