Do You Trust Me With Your Scars Enough to Show Me Your Heart by @blackwood4stucky

Dark University applauds another Dark Philosopher that has submitted their Dark Romance to A Stygian Rose!

Heart Made of Glass, My Mind of Stone is the second chapter from, Do You Trust Me With Your Scars Enough to Show Me Your Heart, by Aspen Blackwood. The story is set during Captain America: the First Avenger and follows pre-war stucky through their lives. It features creatures and non traditional omegaverse!

Ship: James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers [Stucky]

Fic summary: There was always a sweetness that lingered in Steve’s nose whenever he spent time with Bucky Barnes. It was a light floral scent with underlying honey and peach that followed Bucky wherever he went. Steve was never too far behind, low eyes and an intoxicated grin gracing his features every time. It was the look of a boy caught in a snare.

Chapter summary: Steve hesitated by the entryway to the kitchen. Just being around Ma Winnie made him nervous given how he felt about her son. - a dark and twisted fairytale

Warning: None

Read it on Ao3 and SquidgeWorld!

Let’s welcome, Aspen Blackwood to Dark University!

The plaintive tone of Bucky’s voice breaks through the hold those scarlet wisps have on him so forcefully, he jumps. The clench around his cock causes him to look down. Bucky’s eyes are squeezed tightly and he’s horrified to realize that he’s still inside. 

⟢ summary: Steve knows Bucky wants more, he can see the boy he used to love haunting him from the tired blue-grey irises of the man he saved. He wants Bucky too, so bad, but he can’t have him. Night after night he’s plagued with nightmares that terrify him. What’s worse? He wants what’s in them. He wants the darkness that’s brimming within him to be unleashed, he wants to take and take and take. How could he allow Bucky to experience that? No, no way. He can’t do it, he won’t.

He does.

A Thin Wisp of Scarlet Smoke by @adarkforestwitch

Dark University applauds another Dark Philosopher that submitted their Dark Romance to A Stygian Rose!

You Can Call Me Crazy but I Know that He Craves me is the second chapter from, A Thin Wisp of Scarlet Smoke, by Rhyver Youngblood. The story is set after Captain America: the Winter Soldier. It features a deranged version of Steve Rogers and grapples with consent issues and manipulation!

Ship: James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers [Stucky]

Summary: It's been awhile since Bucky came in from the cold. He lives with his best friend, Steve, now. Despite coming to grips with what Hydra did to him, Bucky still yearns for more from his old flame. Steve is so careful with him, treating him like he's made of glass. He just needs to figure out how to ask for what he wants, what he craves.

Steve knows Bucky wants more, he can see the boy he used to love haunting him from the tired blue-grey irises of the man he saved. He wants Bucky too, so bad, but he can’t have him. Night after night he’s plagued with nightmares that terrify him. What’s worse? He wants what’s in them. He wants the darkness that’s brimming within him to be unleashed, he wants to take and take and take. How could he allow Bucky to experience that? No, no way. He can’t do it, he won’t.

He does.

In the Dark, I Like to Read His Mind (but I’m Frightened of the Things I Might Find) by @dvrkblooms

Dark Philosopher, Vesper Lucien, has graced Dark University with yet another Dark Romance piece!

The Weight of Unslumbering Desolation is the newest installment in Vesper's Achillean Romance set in a dark and fantastical version of the well known MCU. This story has creatures and dark themes, what's not to like?

Ship: James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers [Stucky]

Fic summary: James Buchanan is sixteen when his life falls apart. He is betrothed to Lord Broq Rumlow of Drakestone, a noble in King Alecsander’s court. After a barbaric rite is gifted to his new husband, during their wedding reception, James’ plight seemingly goes from bad to worse.

Warning: Dark Fiction, Non Con, Somnophilia, Underage Character

Chapter summary: Bucky’s realizations bring a certain amount of clarity to his situation that don’t necessarily offer comfort. - Steven Grant is called back to his home in the wilds. Will he bring his new muse with him or will he leave the little one to his human fate?

This announcement will also serve as a reminder that tumblr is our main mode of communication. Bingo and Flash cards will only be sent via Tumblr DM or Submission unless a prospective student does not have an account here.

Greetings First Years!

As a little addendum to our University rules please remember that when posting your works directly to tumblr, you must use the KEEP READING feature when the piece reaches 300 words.

Our event posts and card application forms have been updated to reflect this as well!

Welcome to the Dark Academia Scenarios Flash Event

This is an 18+ multifandom event!

🖤 Rules

Read carefully as this flash event is different from the bingo.

This is still a zero pressure event! You can sign up whenever you like and complete your fills at your own pace.

Sign ups are currently open and as long as your works are at least 1,000 words, feel free to post to the event collections beginning October 15th. After this date, the collections will be open indefinitely.

The 1,000 word minimum is not a typo. We want to encourage longer works with this flash event. If you wish to combine fills from this event and our bingo event, the minimum will then be 1,750 words.

↳ You are also allowed to combine our events with other organized bangs, bingos, fests, etc. as long as the requirements are met.

When you use a square, it should have significant presence throughout your stories. This works really well with fics that have developmental arcs that span the entirety of a piece.

The unique thing about this scenarios flash is that, if you play it right, you can string an entire card into one fic. Meaning, you can use one square per chapter of your fic as you build on the story you wish to tell.

↳ For example, if two prompts from your card are "Secret Society" and "Deadly Rituals"... in one chapter you can reveal the existence of the secret society. Later on, you can show your audience the deadly rituals that initiates might have to endure to become members. But, of course, it's not mandatory to continue building on prompts within your works. This is just one manner in which you can use your flash card.

However, if you're simply planning a oneshot please use one square only.

This event will test your abilities and your creativity. Just remember to have fun!

"Choose not to warn" fics are also allowed, just please tag your works appropriately. We don't want to restrict your creativity with this event. This means dark fiction, dead dove content, fandom, original, and rpf works are welcome!

Your submissions for this event should be new and never seen before content. A new chapter in an already in progress fic is acceptable. A new installment to an already in progress series is also acceptable.

🖤 Memo

Please tag us in your posts on tumblr using @darkacademiabingo and #dark academia flash if you'd like to be reblogged!
