Extras
The commercials in Terramagne-America are often more entertaining than the shows are in local-America; for example, here is one for the "Good Feelings Exercise Program."
Several poems include recipes for a variety of types of cooking and cuisine. The collection of recipes for this thread features (mostly) American and some Indian cuisine.
I have compiled a post with links to my work featuring sexual assault and supportive resources, such as mentioned in the poems "Dare Not Speak" (with an interruption of sexually-driven roughhousing that probably qualifies as sexual assault under some codes, but the focus is more on the aftercare) and "With Your Brain and Your Resourcefulness" (which involves some molestation and characters fighting back in creative ways).
Read the story "Outliers and Aberrations" in which some of the Finn kids meet Stan and Lawrence. Part 1, Part 2.
Read the story "Birthday Surprise" by DW user stardreamer, in which Stan takes Lawrence out for a very special day. And night.
Read the story "Always on Duty" by DW user stardreamer, which is set later in the timeline and features Antimatter and Stalwart Stan going on vacation and having to be superheroes anyway.
