“These City Walls” by TessaBennet on Ao3

This series is absolutely beautiful, I definitely plan on drawing more from it! But for now, I wanted to start at the beginning, the very first chapter!

@tessabennet is incredibly talented, every chapter has me hooked and it’s so bittersweet to see the story finally come to a close and see a happy ending piece together.

I hope it did this scene justice, I got a little lazy with the second parts background but that’s okay! Anyway, if you haven’t read this story DO IT! And if you don’t know who Sarah rogers is-BOOO!

What I'm Looking For

"Best friends since childhood, Bucky Barnes and Steven Rogers were inseparable on both schoolyard and battlefield."

That's the story the world knows about them. If anything, it's a pitiful understatement. It's way more complicated than that; because from day one, Steve and Bucky were meant to be.

Except life - a long, long life - has that habit of getting in the way.

thanks for the tag, @tessabennet!! glad to be finally be getting to it :)

3 fic favorites that I reread recently because they are THAT good:

🌈 make progress together by frankoceansmoonriver @dykeromanroy stevebucky | 24k | complete Author's summary:

He feels like Steve’s mistress. He feels hollowed out. He feels like a jammed gun still trying to go off. When he’s not with Steve he convinces himself he’s ruining Steve’s life, and though he tries, he’s too selfish to stop. When he’s with Steve, he’d fight God himself to keep it, this tangible perfection that makes him drunk and anchors him in ways he did not know existed. Or, the one where they both survived the war, Bucky loves Steve now, has loved Steve since he was fifteen, and the year is 1945.

🌈 honey don't feed it, it will come back by thedoubteriswise @thedoubteriswise stevebucky | 18k | complete

Author's summary:

He lets out a long sigh and watches Bucky. Back home he was always too vain to let more than a day’s worth of stubble build up, but now he’s got about three days of scruff on his chin. He shouldn’t look handsome like this. His eyes are shut, but Steve can tell by his breathing that he’s still awake. The cat is curled up on his stomach and purring like an idling motor. “He’s actually pretty cute.” Bucky smiles softly, too sleepy to make whole faces. “Damn right,” he hums. He’s stroking the cat’s fur, which is soft and fine now that it’s clean. He looks so open and inviting. Steve doesn’t close his eyes, watching Bucky’s gentle fingers and trying to come up with a plausible excuse to go touch him.

🌈 save the undone years by Whitherward @whatanybodygets kanej | 37k | complete

Author's summary:

He’s like all the others, when they bring him in. More than half dead, covered in mud. Leg almost hanging off him, just a mess of torn flesh and exposed bone. Likely won’t survive. God knows Inej has seen better off than him succumb to their injuries. Northern France, 1917. In a battlefield hospital, Corporal Kaz Rietveld lies gravely wounded. His nurse is determined that he will not be another thing she loses to this war.

Certainly some interesting stuff in there 😂 I saved a grand total of 3 Fozzy songs when they were on the Download 2017 lineup, so that fought some pretty hefty odds to pop up. Tbh I don’t think I’ve actually ever listened to that Out Of Date cover before now, it’s part of an album full of punk covers of well-known songs - I just saved it ‘cuz I liked the Wonderwall cover on it. Def some odd ones.

But some good stuff too; Crooked Halos in particular is a FUCKIN’ BANGER!! More folks gotta check out Dragged Under fr, their album from last year was incredible 🤘

Tagging: @bad-entertainment @midnightportals @binders-and-beanies @joshydoesntknow @rais-againstme @meowtalhead AND also anyone else who wants to 😸

i love my sense of taste!! especially in music and in fashion. i love that i love rock n roll and indie, like i love that i came with those genes lol. i love the silly little oufits i put together, i love my aesthetic, you know?

life sucks but it's also so so funny. i love my sense of humor, i'm Always laughing at everything. if there's something that i hate it's serious people, i have such a hard time taking things seriously, there's always humor in every situation! idk if i'd describe myself as a Happy person, that's a loaded subject lol, but boy do i think i'm funny. do i think the world around me is funny

🌹💛🌹

Thanks for the ask, Tessa!

The young guy next to him didn’t turn, but said, “It’s gonna be a good year, I can feel it.” Instead of picking a pointless fight and saying that he hoped the Yankees dropped dead that year, Steve took the words literally, and answered, “I hope so.”

1 🌹 = 1 sentence from a WIP!

Movie Tag Game

Rules: no cheating! You’re starting in a movie with the last person you saved in your camera roll. The last song you’ve listened to is the title. Who/what is it

Thanks for the tag @tessabennet !!!

Person: so I’ve been making some state-specific playlists lately, for a holiday I’ve got coming up; I wanted to use Harry Hart going mental in the church while Free Bird plays as the cover photo for the Alabama playlist - hence, he is the last person in my camera roll

Song: Around The World And Back, State Champs

Ooh, maybe an international globe-trotting thriller in which me and Harry are on a spy mission for Kingsman? That worked out quite nicely

I’ll tag: @radiators-and-handcuffs @yourlocalegotisticalgayishere @mr-pop-punk @plasticine-dreams @maybeidontwannachooseaname AND anyone else who wants to! As always no pressure etc. etc.

[undefeatednils]

@tessabennet tagged me earlier today, thank you!

Last song: Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel

Currently reading: nothing... I wanna finally read through the Earthsea books by Ursula K. Le Guin though, been meaning to do that for ages!

Currently watching: last TV show I watched was Ahsoka, but I'm also watching Dimension 20 - Burrow's End! Very good!

Current obsession: TTRPG design, and just learning from games besides D&D on what you can do and how to do it best... Also my BA thesis, which is a bit too heavy to discuss right now (and I'm in the process of doing a preliminary reading of the literature), but that is on my mind almost constantly

No pressure, but I'm tagging @acidmatze, @katecaru, @gaymelie, @banashee, and @lordwhatfoolsthismortalsbe

[somanywords]

I'm a bit late but here you go: 🌹💛

never too late, tessa! thanks for the ask <3

“Fuck Hoover and fuck you too,” Bucky says, and when Steve comes out of the bathroom, throws a roll of bandages at him. “And be thankful that wasn’t a grenade.”

Every 🌹 is a sentence from a wip!
