Why this must be read:
There’s a fair amount of Young Avengers fic on the internet, but almost all of it focuses on the male characters. And while the YA boys are certainly awesome, I’ve always wanted to see more of my personal favorite YA character: Kate Bishop.
This is THE Kate Bishop fic. I have never read anything that so perfectly captures her personality, her toughness and vulnerabilities, her fears and hopes and the way she interacts with all the different people in her life. The concept itself is simple: Kate struggles with an important decision about her future. But the wayinlovewithnight layers in Kate’s anxieties, and the physical ways they manifest themselves, is brilliant. Plus, the language throughout is simply beautiful, rich and deliberate, and the sense of the Marvel Universe as a cohesive whole is incredibly strong.
Lately Kate's been dreaming about flying.
In the dreams, she has something besides a good bow and the muscles and reflexes she's drilled into herself with sheer stubborn repetition. She's gifted. Sometimes she has wings, a ten-foot span with golden feathers that carries her through the sky like an avenging angel. Sometimes it's like Tommy when he runs, so fast it's indistinguishable from flight. And sometimes it's like Ororo Munroe; Kate only ever saw Storm once, but it was amazing and terrifying and beautiful, how she called the winds in from every corner to do her bidding.
It's different in every dream but there's always the feeling of power, woven into her body, right at her fingertips and obeying her will. She's a force of nature. She's consequence and right made flesh. She's dangerous.
