  1. Summary

    Season 4 finale codas.

    It's been years since I worked on these fics, but now I've realized that Brooklyn Nine-Nine, despite having progressive representation of people of color, women, and the LGBTQ+ community, still reinforces propaganda about "good cops," shifting the blame of bad policing to "bad apples" instead of critiquing the system as a whole. I think these fics also reinforce that harmful notion, implying that the system can be fixed from the inside by good cops. That is something I no longer believe, since I've learned more about policing in the United States. I'm not going to go back to these fics and edit them, but I want to acknowledge the cop propaganda of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and therefore, any transformative works associated with it.

    Summary

    Adam walked into the small lecture hall and headed straight for the middle row. It was early, there was no one to edge past as he made it to the other side of the row and pulled his bag over his shoulder. He had thought about it the whole walk there: he wanted to stand out, he didn’t want to stand out; he wanted his hearing ear to face the front of the classroom; he didn’t want to seem like a slacker, or too keen. He pulled out a notepad and pens and finally his schedule, tapping the end of his pen restlessly against the desk as his eyes ran over and over the names of classes and lecture rooms and.
    He had thought about this.

    in which adam is an awkward freshman with social anxiety, gansey is a guy who gives touches easily, and his friend ronan calls adam a nerd, which he kinda likes.

    Summary

    Derek would be the number one pick if it weren’t for Poindexter, which everyone knows just as well as he does, and as such, the media takes a perverse pleasure in building up their rivalry.

    Well.

    Can it be a rivalry if they’ve never met?

    Based on the mixture of resignation and anger that Derek feels every time someone asks him about Poindexter—which is all the fucking time—he’s guessing yes.
