Chuck
When He Catches His Reflection On Accident by mardia
"It's just," he says softly, hesitating over the words, "It's just that my entire life, I've been the same person to her. I've been the same guy, my whole life." / The thing is, Chuck doesn't know how to explain how that's always been a comfort, how Ellie's always had more faith in him than anyone else, celebrated his successes and mourned his losses right alongside him. As much as he's always been the screw-up little brother, he's also been the little brother that could do anything in the world, if only he put his mind to it. / And now Ellie finally has proof. Her little brother really can do anything in the world. / His entire life he's been Ellie's screw-up little brother, until now. He had no idea how much he'd miss that old definition of himself until this moment, until he looked into his sister's face and realized she didn't recognize what she was staring at. Wonderful, moving story of how Ellie finds out, and how she and Chuck deal with it.

Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
Underground by ion_bond
His mother gets her ideas from books and magazine stories and sometimes, she says, from people she has met. "That's what a story is," she tells Tommy. "It's organizing what you know about the world into something that makes sense in nine panels. You want the reader to recognize what he sees. Even if the plot is supernatural horror or a romance comic or something, the people should still look familiar." Occasionally, there are boys in her scripts that look or act the way he does, and this is comforting to Tommy and somewhat flattering. / Tom Mayflower was born in the inaugural issue of Midget Radio Comics in 1939, already a man, ready to take up the golden key and the fight against evil. Tommy doesn't mind sharing, but he wants to have come first. The real human ought to come have come first. Captures the odd loneliness of the subway and the city during holidays, and Sam's twin desires for safety and adventure. Lovely and evocative.

Dinosaur Comics
Apocalypse How? by Megan
In his never-ending time spent watching the world because the world is better than cable, the Devil has seen many different strategies for coping with his presence. God likes to pretend that he is the one in charge, because he is bossy and also kind of a douchebag. T-Rex acts like that sometimes, too, but he's more fun because he always loses arguments in the end (unlike God, who can just change whatever they are arguing about so that he wins because he is a douchebag and also cheats). A lot of people deal by being really, really afraid, and others fall down in abject worship. Jesus just challenged him to Guitar Hero and took his loss gracefully, because unlike his father, Jesus does not cheat, and is actually a really cool guy. He hangs out with the Devil to annoy his dad. T-Rex's friends pretend the Devil isn't there, which is the most annoying way of all. THIS IS AWESOME! READ IT NOW!
