whirlpool's personal fic recs, part 2

well, it's been a minute since the first time I did this, so here's some more great fics I've read since then.

(this is a totally fresh list! if by chance you see a repeat from part 1, it's only because there's been an update to it since then)

-> Please let me know if any of my links are messed up, or if I got a tumblr handle wrong!

rarepairs/3somes/from perspective of other characters:

Biggest Dick on Base by @impalachick (Crosby/Bucky) you guys. this one is soooo hot. oh the dialogue is sooooo good. as the author says, "It's canon that Croz and Egan are the two horniest guys in the 100th" and this fic NAILS it!

dancing cheek to cheek (to cheek) by @meyerlansky (Curt/Bucky/Buck) Curt POV and it's soooo good, equal weight is given to the Curtbucky of it all, and there's this summering electricity in the Curtgale, and the Buckbucky devotion is so real, it's a true threesome fic and author absolutely nailed it!! also start taking your chances in the same series, WHEW!

realistic modern au mota headcanons :

- brady would post bible verses on his insta story

- bucky and curt would do zyn

- douglass would be an elf bar fiend

- bubbles would drive a janky toyota corolla and be the groups dd

- rosie would never be allowed aux unless they’re smoking 🍃

- buck is the one who gets them alc because adults trust them

- croz would fail the sats because he forgot to turn the page

- alex would yell at them to shut up during study hangouts and kick them out (except bubbles) once a week

- ham would be a “where’s my hug at” kinda guy

- jack is the one calling the cops on their parties because he wants to sleep goddammit

- ev would smoke cigs but smack them if he saw them smoking

[lazicalm]

ok one question actually, how did baby croz and howie (i firmly believe he calls him that) become so close?

EEKKK

okay so big man hamie, in my mind has like probably 3 younger sisters (no brothers it’s only sisters n u just gotta get it), just saw this pathetic kid on his crew n just picked him up by the collar n started totting him around like a white girl n her purse dog.

Like Croz introduced himself, n it was a neuron activation moment for him. N it didn’t help when croz threw up n like, hambone just wanted to baby him n get him soup n tuck him in n do all the things he would’ve done with his sisters when they were sick.

N afterwards it just kinda built upon itself where like, he would save croz a seat in the mess hall, or saving him a seat at the cinema, or ordering him a coke in the officers club before he even got there (before he knew he was like. A full ass minor, he just thought he didn’t drink and respected that boundary).

Before Croz was with Just-A-Snappin, Hambones cot was next to his, n he would help with some math (you gotta get it that hambones a little stupid on the ground but a whizz in the sky)(not nav level, but *sends brainwaves to you*), bc with croz joining up at early 17 late 16, he missed chunks of school + never started that literature degree that actual Crosby had started by the time he joined the 100th.

+ when they were in Algeria ham hunted down books for Croz to read (he saw Croz reading a book on old English poetry n now he will always hunt down poetry books for him (it’s like when a dad learns you like one thing so the next 30 years you’ll get something related to that thing))

pookie! can I have ⁹⁾ blackberry jam for Jules and Johnny and ¹⁵⁾ a half-full milk carton for Vika and Benny? ilysm!!!!! 💝

Winnie darling!! So sorry for the wait honey 😅 Tysm for the request, love you pooks 💕

From this prompt list!

blackberry jam, Brady x Jules

There was a package waiting for him at the APO on the way back from that day’s practice flight.

They’d been at Thorpe Abbotts for about three weeks now, and while John Brady had gotten a (very long) letter from Jules already, this was the first time he’d had an unassuming brown box waiting for him.

“Treats from home already, Brady?” Hambone grinned, gold teeth glinting in the sun.

“Be nice and maybe I’ll share, Ham,” he retorted with a smirk, though there was no malice in his voice.

Back at their barracks, Hoerr, Hambone, and Croz quickly split off to their own bunks, eager for some semblance of privacy as they opened their own letters from home.

Brady examined the box in his hands, giving it a careful shake. There was a sort of light rattle on one side, while something weighed the cardboard down on the other. He wanted to tear it open, but forced himself to take his time, deliberately peeling away the paper and slicing through the tape that sealed the cardboard shut. Lifting the flaps revealed a thick wad of neatly folded paper, a small blue tin and a bundle of… fabric?

Further examination revealed the wad of paper to be yet another letter from his Juliet, describing her preparations for the new school year and time spent with his parents in delicate cursive script. A postscript was included, he noted with a grin, a full page of his mother’s familiar neat handwriting, detailing how much they missed him, how they hoped he was staying safe, and how kind his girl was to keep them company so often since he’d shipped out.

She’s a keeper! His mother teased, and he could nearly hear her laugh as he read it.

According to the letter, the tin held a batch of his favorite shortbread cookies, accompanied by— his grin grew wider— a jar of blackberry jam made by Juliet herself.

Your mother did most of the work, she’d insisted in her letter, but his mother assured him that Juliet had done it nearly all on her own.

Setting the pages carefully aside, he turned his attention to unwrapping the bundle of thick fabric, peeling back the layers that protected it on its journey over the Atlantic until he held a glass jar about the size of his hand filled with a thick, dark jam. He opened the blue tin next, grinning at the tiny golden cookies stacked inside.

Warmth filled his chest at the thought of his mom and Juliet in the little kitchen at home, talking and laughing, setting aside a good portion of their rationed sugar just to send him a taste of home.

He didn’t have utensils, but that didn’t bother him as he unscrewed the jar and dipped a cookie in.

One bite, and he was transported back to being a kid in Victor, New York, wriggling impatiently at the table as his mother fixed him a snack after school.

“Brady— hey, Brady—”

The memory was cut short as a voice drifted in from his right, and he turned to see Hambone grinning at him hopefully.

“Whatcha got there?”

With a good-natured roll of his eyes, he held out the tin to his friend.

“Shortbread. You can have one.”

The tin was passed around to his crew, all of them soon singing their praises of Ma Brady’s cooking, and John tucked the letter into his footlocker with the one he’d already gotten.

With any luck, he’d be home to see Jules and his mother side by side in the kitchen by this time next year.

half-full milk carton, Benny x Vika

Vika woke with a start, a sinking feeling in her chest. She wasn’t sure what had woken her, but as she glanced around trying to get her bearings, one thing stood out to her.

This was not her room.

A shifting at the end of the bed revealed a furry mass, and she froze until a familiar sleepy whine reached her ears.

That’s right. She was spending the night at Benny’s.

The tightness in her chest eased somewhat as Vika reached down to give Meatball a pet. Her eyes strayed to the other side of the bed, revealing a thrown-back duvet and rumpled sheets.

Her heart sank. Another nightmare?

Wrapped in her robe with Meatball trotting at her heels, she slipped out into the hall, following the dim moonlight to the sounds coming from the kitchen.

“Benny?”

The silhouette, backlit by the light of the fridge, jumped in surprise. Benny turned to face her, his face still half in shadow.

“Vika,” he said, his voice soft, “What are you doing up?”

“I could ask you the same question,” she replied gently, crossing the tiled floor to stand next to him. She asked tentatively, “Nightmare again?”

He looked down, avoiding her eyes as he focused on Meatball weaving between their legs, “Something like that.”

She hummed, scanning him over. He didn’t seem to want to talk about it, and she wouldn’t force him. So, she turned her attention to the fridge.

“Any luck finding a midnight snack?”

Even in the dim light, there was a trace of relief in Benny’s face at the topic change.

“Not yet.”

She took stock of the somewhat sparse contents— a few meals from his mother, the last of a hunk of cheese, slightly wilting greens, a half-full milk carton—

“Can I suggest something? You don’t have to try it if you don’t want.”

“Please do, I can’t seem to make a decision,” Benny said with a soft laugh.

She pulled out the milk carton and snagged what was left of the loaf of bread on the counter.

“This is what my mother made for me before bed every night when I was little,” she explained, pulling out a small saucepan and two bowls, “Bread dipped in warm milk seemed to always do the trick when she needed me to go to sleep.”

Benny hummed, watching her flick on the stove and set the milk at a gentle simmer. She shot him a wink as she added a rather generous pinch of sugar to the milk, stirring all the while.

“I’m technically only supposed to put in a little bit, but… I think we can make an exception just this once.”

“I won’t tell a soul,” Benny found himself promising with a grin, and soon there were two steaming bowls of warm, sweet milk set in front of them, along with a slice of bread each.

Benny dipped one corner in, eyes widening at the simple but indescribably comforting taste. Something loosened in Vika’s chest, seeing his soft smile as he ate— thank goodness he liked it. It gave her an odd sense of pride, introducing him to something that held such dear memories for her and seeing the opportunity to build memories with him as well.

He ate it like her father did, she noted. Leaving the slice whole, dipping a corner at a time. She favored her mother’s strategy of tearing off pieces one by one and dipping them— useful for slipping some to Meatball, who was whining at their feet not wanting to be left out.

“Thank you, sweetheart.” Benny’s voice drifted in from her right, softened by the hour and by a slight sleepiness creeping in.

He wasn’t just thanking her for the snack, she knew.

Still, all she did was give him a tender smile, lifting the bowl to her lips to drain the last bit of sweetness at the bottom.

“You’re very welcome, Benny. Now how about we go back to bed?”

[majorxmaggiexboy]

okay but jopson would be slap damn feral insane about any and all holidays

Halloween is where he really shines just bc he already looks like a reanimated vampiric catgirl fae corpse and just has to put on his lucien fletcher costume and call it a day but like

In general he's going ham with the decorations. It has to be perfect. Christmas? He's stressing tf out he's working himself up into a frenzy making sure everything is Just So and for what

Crozier doesn't care. Crozier does a decent job at pretending to care bc his specialist pet freak is pure bleeding from the mouth in deck-the-halls fervor, it's exhausting just watching him

Meanwhile you've got the Bridglars next door being the calmest most peaceful wholesome couple in the neighborhood making it so cozy so warm so inviting

Croz would go stay with them until spring when Jopson stops being rabid but Jopson is already visiting them to get John's opinions on this and that and the next thing and swapping recipes with Hen, there's no escape

[itstheheebiejeebies]

In my Brady feels right now, so if it’s still on either Brady and his Gators or What Happens on Leave? Thank you! 🥰

some of whol ch6

He looks over to Brady, hoping for the guidance he’s always gotten from Ev when he’d been unsure in the past. “What’d ya say Johnny? You in?”

John looks at his boys, as badly as he’s hurting right now they need this so much more than he does. “I think I might just watch if that’s alright.”

Bubs nods, seeming to understand, but in actuality missing his thought process entirely.

Johnny moves from his spot, slipping down into the nose of the plane. There’s only so much room down here too, and fewer places still to sit.

Sorry Ham, your chair is getting used today. He sits in the bombardier chair as Bubbles drops into the nose and makes his way over to the Nav table.

Bucky’s arrival crowds the room but also makes it feel less like there’s any room for ghosts with them.

Bucky takes off his jacket and drops it to the ground beside the nav table.

“Bubs, you said you don’t want to think, does that mean you want me to tell you what to do?”

Bubs nods, “Please.”

Bucky cards his fingers through Bubs’ hair and cups his cheek. He can see Bubbles is uncomfortable with his tenderness.

“Go on and get on your knees for me. Kneel on my jacket. You’re mine right now Bubs and you’re gonna take what I give you, alright?”

and some brady and his gators for good measure

When Harry brings the drinks back to the table, Bubs and Brady get theirs first before he takes them around to place on the table. Thanks are murmured from the boys as they all reach out to grab a glass of their own.

“You are beautiful!” Curt exclaims as Harry sets them down but then looks back across the table and spies the two of them with their glasses. “How come you get special delivery, huh Brady?”

“He’s my navigator,” Brady sips at his whiskey, “Call it pilot’s privilege.”

“Yeah, so why’s Bubs get it too?”

“Call that best friend privileges,” he smirks, causing Curt to laugh loud and bright in the dim pub.

“Croz, you wanna be my best friend too? I could use an upgrade from this lug,” he jerks his thumb at Bucky who just laughs in response.

Harry laughs too, but doesn’t reply, too distracted by the way John’s foot is caressing his leg under the table. He swallows hard and tries to act natural, and is luckily off the hook as Curt had gotten pulled into some asinine conversation with the RAF again.

"last line" tag game, tysm to @precious-little-scoundrel for including meee, i love you <3

rules: share the last line you wrote.

i have nottt been focusing on any of my fic wips lately because i've been having too much fun in the mota rp server, so my answers to this are mostly gonna be from RP responses LOL. i forgot to post this last night also so technically these aren't my last sentences but they were when i wrote up this post :3

It’s quieter than Hambone would like in here, but there were still plenty of bodies around to watch …. And only one that he actually wants to. The sight of Everett a little further back in the club has something dangerous flickering in his eyes, one corner of his mouth twitching into a fleeting, overweening smirk.

-> from one of my threads in my server, cuz ham has ended up being super freaky super obsessed with blakely here and i love it <33

Harry turned the next page of the novel he was reading. The sun was shining high in the sky, the grass beneath him was comfortable enough, and the two idiots he had laying around him like cats huddled to a fire had finally shut up for once.

-> from a superrrr early draft scene, not sure if i was turning it into an intro to chapter 2 of my ham/brady thing or if i was gonna attach it to chapter 2 of my croz/buck thing, i never ended up deciding LOL.

Not that he actually cared, for the record, but Cleven and the other boys seemed to hold Alex in some form of high regard, circling around his clever abilities for drawing and map-making like dogs to a bone, and Hambone did care about them. They would be pleased with what he did just now; That was the sole motive he had been working off of.

-> another roleplay post from meee, this one for a ham & alex thread in the server! their friendship is basically hambone being confused about why alex isn't phased by his antics & alex being like goddamn this dude needs to be kept on a leash wtf.

[itstheheebiejeebies]

15, 16, 17, and 19 for the mota ask game! <3

15) comfort character, hmmm. Crosby maybe? Or Bubbles? Not quite sure. They occupy a lot of my thoughts though.

16) I'd let Croz, Bubbles, Buck, Brady, Rosie, or DeMarco babysit any pets I had. And Buck is only allowed to if he promises to keep Bucky in line because god knows he'd bring him along.

17) I could probably list for ages here on who deserved more screentime. But I'll start with Curt and Bubbles. Especially since Bubbles died much later than that irl. They're so fun and have such great friendships with the guys that were severely under explored. Then I'd say Hambone, Ev, and Dougie. Those three are so great and we barely scraped the surface with them. Give me stuff about the fact that they're all married to gals and Ham and Ev's wives are living with Jean during the war too. Then there's Jack, my sweet suffering air exec. He deserves a thousand hours of screen time. And we have Macon, Alex, and Daniels who get so fucking little it's practically criminal.

19) I've answered this before here, it's th goblin riddle because Goblin Fort Superiority and it's the thesis of things in a way.

MotA asks

[itstheheebiejeebies]

brady and his gators for the ask game? 😊

Brady and His Gators is a fic where Bubbles, Brady, and Croz are dating

John tucked the letter from his mother into his pocket as he took in the box in front of him. It was rare for anyone to get packages, much less ones that didn’t seem torn all to hell by the guards. And yet he, Bubs, and Ham had all gotten ones.

“Didn’t know Jean sent you guys stuff,” Ham casually said after sneaking a peak at the return address and saw it matched the one on his own he’d gotten from his wife.

“Never has before,” Brady replied, not opening the package to take anything out. It was open, as all their mail was, but somehow it felt much more violating for someone to have opened a package from Jean before he could than knowing some asshole had read whatever his ma wrote to him before he did.

“It ain’t gonna bite Johnny,” Bubs told him as he read the letter enclosed in his own box.

He threw a look at Bubbles before pulling his letter out from the box.
