continuing thoughts from This Dream AU

re : why it might have taken the gang a while to find Bruce & Floyd

how about i erase just a little bit of the plot convenience from TBT

what if, bruce's postcard didn't survive unscathed, and they had to go off of john dory's foggy memory of the thing.

so like. they're stumbling their way through a bunch of could-be-heres before they hit on the correct one.

and what if, the Vacay Resort section was legit hard to find.

like, the entire island chain is still at Vacaytioner scale, right? so even if the search party's idea to eventually look there was right, it could still take a long time to navigate thru the tropical jungle on any individual island, let alone many of them.

.... aaaaand what if i drew way too much for a potential reunion anyways because i'm a sap

ngl I think Sam should've been more involved in Civil War

abject utter rambling under the cut, this is not one of my clean posts this is brain spaghetti on the wall

mostly because it's hard for me to separate Steve and Bucky from Sam, they're hopelessly tangled up in each other thank you very much and I needed more of that from canon

I mean yes I think the final fight between Steve, Bucky, and Tony is beyond my skill to rewrite with Sam in it bc there's something powerful about Steve choosing Bucky over Tony as completely and irrevocably as he did, but on the other hand while it used to be Steve and Bucky against the world now it's Steve, Bucky, and Sam against the world, Sam literally shows up for Steve days after meeting him for the first time, lets him in his house when he's being chased by the government and does some illegal stuff to help him on his mission, but then he also dedicates himself to finding Bucky (assuming I'm remembering that right ??? I hope I am and that's not just fandom brain lmao)

and as moving as it is to see again that Steve still trusts Bucky with himself, I could've done with more of Sam learning to trust Bucky, more of a journey from he's not the kind you save, he's the kind you stop to really understanding what Bucky's been through, how it messes with his mind when the code words are used on him, and maybe Sam doesn't rest at quite the level of trust Steve does but this is the guy that pulled Steve out of a river, this is a guy whose autonomy is fragile, who's trying to rebuild some kind of life for himself, and they keep bickering but we get to see a deeper emotional bond forming between them

maybe Sam wonders where his place is with them, they've known each other longer than most people have been alive and literally nothing can come between them, but he's not between them he's with them, maybe Bucky shields him from an attack with his metal arm, puts his body between Sam and danger like he would with Steve, and Sam starts to realize that he's not a third wheel at all, he already knows Steve trusts and respects him and will turn to him for help before anyone else but he also catches a glimpse of Bucky's feelings for him, what are those feelings? even Bucky's not sure, is it just wanting to protect this person because Steve cares about him, is it just gratitude for being a facilitator in him and Steve starting to knit back together, is it abject wonder at the knowledge that this man has put himself on the line for Bucky (is that just wanting to protect this person because Steve cares about him? is it just repaying the favor from when Bucky pulled Steve out of the river when Sam couldn't get to him?) because nobody but Steve has ever really risked themself for him

just imagine how much sicker the shot would be of them sharing the shield if it was the three of them

imagine instead of Bucky trying to parkour his way out of the facility, Sam tried to fly him out, holding his hands or clutching his waist and maybe griping about how heavy he is a little bit a la Michiru and Haruka but trying so hard to get him out of there before he's killed, and it's not just the roof Tony breaks it's also Sam's wings, he and Bucky spiral back to the ground and Bucky twists them in the air to take the brunt of the landing because he knows he's better able to handle that kind of an impact

when they walk away, they're supporting Bucky between them, Steve has chosen him over the rest of his life except Sam and Sam has fully decided that wherever it goes, he's cashing his chips in with the two of them, he's choosing to stand by Steve in his love of Bucky and he's choosing to stand by Bucky for his own sake

because this movie was never just about the Avengers tearing themselves apart, it was always about Steve and Bucky coming back together, trying to find a way their lives still fit, choosing each other over pain and self-doubt and the government and the Avengers, and it could be about Steve and Bucky and Sam figuring out their places in each other's lives, where do I belong when they've been together since childhood, where do I belong when he's made a new connection without me, where do I belong except with the love I've had all my life and the love I've found lately, where does any one of them belong if not with the other two

it's Steve's undying love for Bucky and his wonder if Bucky still loves him, he knows Bucky remembers him but does he still feel anything? balanced with his new relationship with Sam, a little less hard-won but strong and so precious to him, he trusts this man with his life and the life of the other person he loves most

it's Sam's wholehearted love for Steve and his gradual understanding that loving Bucky has made Steve who he is, that Bucky and Steve are too entwined to separate them into different boxes, it's his realization that you can't love one and not the other, not these two, because they're already holding parts of each other inside of them, and his willingness to defend Bucky because there's a bit of Steve in him that leads to the genesis of loving Bucky for his own merits

it's Bucky's journey back to himself, anchored by the one person he loved when he was himself last, dragged and helped by the person Steve loves now, not knowing if he still belongs but wanting so badly to try, ready to put his life on the line for either of them because they've done the same for him when he doesn't feel he deserves it and yet desperate to live because he has them to do it with

that's the Civil War I've got in my brain, idk

Grease 2 / Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies

Now I'm thinking about Rhonda's husband. Imagine you, a budding physicist, go to meet your girlfriend/fiancee's father and it's Mr. Benedict. THE Mr. Benedict. The 'pioneered 30% of the most recent and significant advancements in too many fields to count, up to and including physics' Mr. Benedict. And he smiles and offers you your favorite piece of candy.

Imagine you go to meet your girlfriend/fiancee's older sister and you don't have to read minds to know she wishes she could crack her gigantic jar of pickles over your head. It goes on like this for weeks. You get it. You're "taking" HER baby sister. (but, of course, you're not. you could never.) Then one time you go camping and you pack extra snacks for her without thinking twice of it. She opens the cooler and blinks. You've got her schedule - her alphabetical order food item schedule - accounted for perfectly without ever discussing it with her. Next time you go to visit she's hand-sewn you an entire wardrobe of clothes out of burlap.

Imagine you go to meet your girlfriend/fiancee's younger sister. She greets you with a poem about your line of work as a physicist. Something about how you're confounded by conundrums of a manner most tedious. You brush away the tension in the room with a polite laugh, even as you think pint-sized poet with a smile most devious. She sits on your lap for the rest of the evening.

Very Bad AU where Rhonda and Number Two get kidnapped before Mr. Benedict can get to them and they become Executives, playing Jackson and Jillson's roles at the Institute

[klutzymaiden123]

Yoo, are more people reading my fic? Because I've been recieving notifications and emails every day that more and more kudo's are being left behind? I assume that those posts have been working??

[maddymoreau]

I know it's probably just a video game mechanic but the fact all the magazine vending machines in The Strip are actually stocked is adorable!!

[starlightcleric]

How foolish am I, sitting here trying to think up a new Rogue character for Wrath of the Righteous when Rhonda Threeapples has been here all along.

Hi Ali <3 since you were hoping for more asks, here’s one for you: If you worked at Beanie’s, who would be your work bestie and who would be your least favorite coworker? Also who would be your favorite and most hated regular customers? And what song would you sing when somebody tipped you (other than the tip song or Latte Hatte)?

ahh, you always have such good questions.

well, immediately i thought emma, but she would probably find me annoying, and i feel like i would be more of friends with zoey.

i would enjoy paul as a customer, because he has such a simple order and it's the same everytime. see him come through the door, start on the coffee, tell him the price when it's done and boom, easiest serve possible.

i would hate ted with all my heart, he'd probably try flirting with me or just be difficult with his order in general which would piss me off.

see, i always assumed the tip song was latte hatte due to them starting off with the same line, in the same melody, but i've been thinking, what if the tip song is cup of roasted coffee. what if.

anyway, if i could just choose. it would be whatever song was on my mind that day, or if i have multiple, well then, each customer is getting a different song. right now, we both reached for the gun is stuck in my head hard, so i'll say that.
