So... not dead? Maybe medically finally above the water.

Jessica Jones knows that she’s garbage at a lot of things, romantic relationships included. Still, she’s not absolutely terrible at all relationships, something she’s trying to prove by expanding her circle of friends; she started with the rest of the Defenders, but it won’t hurt to get to know at least one normalish person, and Claire Temple fits the bill. As Jess takes time back from active work with the team, trying to keep her life and her business affairs in order, she and Claire strike up a friendship based on coffee, snark, and dishing dirt on nighttime vigilantes in their city. In the midst of dealing with spillover from the night time work they’re still regularly called to help with, Jess realizes that, even if they have become friends, maybe she doesn’t want them to be just friends.

Finished and posted my piece for the @marvelbang this year, and had an amazing artist in @sdiosb

Massive thanks for @ussfriendship and @weepingnaiad for their help

Nat owns a cat. An evil cat. A cat that even Hawkeye can’t get near. Except this cat – this tiny terror named after a literal Russian evil spirit – well, she doesn’t just tolerate Bucky, she fucking likes him. Or, at least, she lets him pet her, pick her up, and take her back to his quarters, but now the cat is staying with him. Which sucks.

 

Bucky and Nat wind up as a thing nearly by accident… but mostly by cats.

Look at that! I think this is the FIRST time I have EVER posted a multichapter work in its entirety.

Whoa.

Thanks to @ussfriendship for letting me literally write chapter one to her in chunks on discord, and to @weepingnaiad for the amazing beta and title ideas!

@lizabethl @sevdrag @weepingnaiad @downwarddnaspiral @ussfriendship

types of writing sessions

got on computer, looked at document, was like “fuck this shit” and got off

wrote like 150 words that consist of bloating the existing useless conversation or scene even more

wrote SO MANY WORDS but it was because you were so desperate to escape the Bad Part

wrote SO MANY WORDS but it was because you were so desperate to get closer to the Good Part

got on your document, ran into research issue, spent like an hour on Wikipedia, ah shit

the somewhat satisfying “fixing everything I hated about the scene I wrote the day before” session

decent amount of progress that took like 3x longer than it should have because you were repeatedly distracted

In The Zone and completely absorbed, just BLAZING through a few thousand words, probably close to the ending, probably listening to playlist

Not actually a writing session, just listening to playlist

the session where you write like a paragraph, suddenly realize the unfixability of your current plot predicament, and cry

that weird session where you don’t have much time and you’re super tired and you write like a page but you reread it the next morning and holy shit these words came from the fingers of god why is it so good

that session that is purely just navigating the boring shit of getting from one scene to the next and it sucks but you leave off on the cusp of something interesting and it feels good

the satisfyingly exhausting session where you write the Good Part and you’re confident it came out pretty well and you’re full of thoughts and stuff about where things are going next but you need to let them rest

get on computer, write exactly one sentence, get off computer. Now you can say you wrote today

I’m gonna focus on turning some of these ideas into proper stories, and any I write will be linked here. 

Thank you for coming, thank you for staying, and thank you for your endless and unstinting support. I hope you like what I come up with next.

Thank you. 

I love you. 

You’ve been amazing.

@lizabethl Yup!

We ARE eating fanfic food...

... now watch me turn around and write more fanfic about eating food.

If you're here for fanfic, this is the fic it came from, featuring Clint Barton, Jessica Jones, and Matt Murdock.

Fandom is weird.

One day you make up a gross food to make an internet friend laugh; the next thing you know, you're making Loaded Tater-Totchos to eat with @lizabethl and family!

WIP Wednesday

So I usually don't do this, but I have been poked (@lizabethl) and prodded (@weepingnaiad), so have a bit of a strange WIP. Now from one, two, three perspectives...

☆◇☆◇☆

Oh, no. Pulse in his throat, Bruce tries to dredge up something innocuous, gesturing to the bustle around them - "Must be strange for you, all of this." - but it's too close to the truth; that this is terrifyingly strange, at least for him.

Maybe a bit embarrassing for Steve, too, judging by the colour high on his cheeks as he turns away and nods at the drill team jogging by. "Well… This is actually kind of familiar."

"Gentleman, you might want to step inside in a minute," Agent Romanov interrupts the moment, and Bruce would hug her if he wasn't rooted where he's standing. Wrist clasped in hand, she nods to each of them in turn. "It's gonna get a little hard to breathe."

☆◇☆◇☆

"Must be strange for you, all of this."

Not at all. Yeah, it's a new century, everyone he knows is dead, and he's just met the man of his pathetic, decades old dreams, but - on the whole - not too much has changed. Steve's working for a secret government alphabet branch, surrounded by agents and soldiers in the middle of a training camp, standing beside a woman who is always the most dangerous person in the room; he's managed to put his foot in his mouth and is vainly hoping that he can grit his way through this fucking social disaster and make it to the other side without too much embarrassment. On the whole, "Well… This is actually kind of familiar."

"Gentleman, you might want to step inside in a minute," Agent Romanov interrupts the moment, and Steve would slug her if he wasn't convinced she'd kick his ass, feed it to him, and throw him overboard. She nods to each of them in turn, wrist clasped in hand. "It's gonna get a little hard to breathe."

☆◇☆◇☆

"Gentleman, you might want to step inside in a minute.” Natasha can’t roll her eyes, so she squeezes her wrist in her hand. "It's gonna get a little hard to breathe."

She’s not just referring to the impending lack of atmosphere once they ascend, either. Between her childhood training and working for SHIELD, Natasha’s learned to recognize when people share that sort of connection, and she’s memorized the files for both of these two; Bruce Banner and Steve Rogers hadn’t ever met before today. The last thing she needs is one of them getting overwhelmed and falling off the edge and into one of the engines.

Browsing Week Begins!

We started Marvel Fans 4 BLM to generate positive fanworks for Black Marvel characters and raise money for various Black Lives Matter funds. We are so overwhelmed by all the amazing creators who signed up to these past two weeks. Thank you! 

Next step: Browsing Week!

Browsing Week runs from Monday June 29th to Sunday July 5th. This week our wonderful creator offerings will be publicly visible on Google Slides before the auction week officially begins. This gives potential bidders time to make some notes on which fanworks interest them. They can also use this week to get in touch with creators and ask any questions they may have. We encourage creators to view their own info on the slides and let us know if anything needs to be changed. 

Each slide includes an assigned item number, the creator’s chosen name, a link to their past work, contact info, their preferred charity, any preferred characters and of course the details of the work they are offering. We hope that this is enough information to help you make your choices! All listings also include “click to bid” boxes. Those links are only functional on the Auction slides that will be posted on the 6th. 

The auction opens Monday July 6th and ends Sunday July 12th at 5 PM EST. We’ll be posting a NEW Google Slides link then that will have live forms and information for bidding. Stay tuned!

You can check out our FAQ and Rules for more event information. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions. 

Okay, ready? Get Browsing! CLICK HERE to check out the 100+ (!!!) items up for grabs!

If you ever wonder why sometimes I tend to beat up Steve Rogers when write, here's your answer: He stole my birthday!

Everything else is closed or full of tourists today, but I'm a basic brown bitch today, so I'm fine with this and my four boxes of pop-its!

[fadedsepiascribbles]

i feel like so many people misunderstand redemption arcs. they’re not about forgiving past actions. they’re not about softening previous behavior. redemption arcs are about realizing past behavior was heinous and resolving to be better, do better. that’s why so many redemption arcs fall apart upon close scrutiny.

[fadedsepiascribbles]

Took off nearly two months to get to another mini cliffy, but... Have more Buckitty, if you're here for that. Massive snuggly hugs to @weepingnaiad for being an amazing beta reader and putting up with the most random and horrible of my typos!

[fadedsepiascribbles]

@lizabethl we need it!
