#and i had to use a candle to see my sketchbook lol

[diamondsheep]

Sleepy !!!

[thebomb-thebird-andtheburntbitch]

Ehem…may i request some content on reader that draws (again) 🥺 kyojuro has really pretty eyes right? And so i wanna know what his response would be if reader mid sketching tells him that, and that they’d like to try and paint his eyes some time soon (as in ask him to be a model) 👀✨how would that conversation go?

a/n: im finALLY writing again- who knows how long this brain blast will last LOL - E im sorry this took so long!! thanks for being patient with me lol ;n;

-x-x-x-

it's become a very common occurrence that kyojuro is present during your downtime- whether than be reading, resting or indulging yourself in your hobbies

your hobby in art still fascinates him and entertains him

he really likes checking on your progress from time to time to see how you start and how you do things to get the end result

he's also verY supportive in your process- even if you say that you hate it even though youre not close to finishing, he makes sure you have enough encouragement to keep going!

kyojuro is 'trust the process personified and put through an amplifier

its in one of your sit-ins that he's reading a book that had been recommended to him through senjuro that you find yourself watching him instead of the other way around

instead of sitting in your art room, you were both sitting out on the engawa enjoying the weather with your sketchbook in your lap

you sketched whatever you saw, a tree, a flower, a patch of grass, a quick sketch of a bird before it flew away

it's getting later in the day and the golden hour is just around the corner of the clock

the golden hour is the best time of day for kyojuro- there was no question about it. it made him seem like a walking candle- burning brightly and lighting up whatever area he wander in

bring warmth with him along with his light

his eyes were the most brilliant of all like the burning wick of a candle that smolders and flickers with embers that fan it's own flames

he looks up from his reading momentarily to check on you beside him, maybe ask if he could see how far you've gotten in your sketching but was shocked to see you already looking at him

it wasn't like you to get distracted in the middle of a piece since you get so absorbed in your work

had something happened while he was distracted perhaps?

"Is something wrong, my dear?"

"you know," you start and his book gently closes, one of his fingers between the pages to keep his place while he offers you his undivided attention

"has anyone told you the sun looks good on you?"

he laughs at your compliment, and you don't even find it in you to be embarrassed because it was so very true

the sun did look good on him

tremendously good

"what brought that on?"

"it's just a fact," you tell him before using the back end of your pencil to move his hair around and open up the side of his face to show off his sideburns

the way your pencil cast a shadow over one of his eyes and left the other to glow in the early evening sunlight made you realize something

"i'd really love to paint your eyes kyojuro"

he says nothing as you start murmuring to yourself

"the way they still seem to glow even under a shadow, and this time of day is the perfect time for them to shine. they're such a pretty color too"

"you think my eyes are pretty?" he asks and of course, your flabbergasted that he could even think you didn't think that!

"obviously! not only are they pretty, they're emotional eyes. you can convery so many feelings through them without even speaking."

"i've never been told that before," he told you clearing his throat. "I must say, i am rather embarassed to hear you say so."

you laughed at him, leaning into his sholder as he ruffled at the hair you had previously been holding away from his face with your pencil

"thank you for saying so, my dear"

"i'm always willing to state the obvious- just for you though"

later on when it's far too dark to read or sketch anymore, you both head back inside and he stops you as you put away your sketchbook and pencil

the flickering candles and dim lighting of the indoors suits his eyes well too you can't help but notice

"do you really want to paint me- my eyes?"

"are you offering?" the way you said it with so much hope and excitement made him feel bashful in a new way he hadn't felt with anyone else

how could he ever turn you down when you seem so excited?

short answer: he couldn't

even shorter answer: why would he?

a/n pt.2 : i'm out of practice okAY

[ofmermaidstories]

13, 16, and 23!

Also omg merm I read that…….. 20k review of Lightlark that u linked in an ask recently and goddamn. I am utterly fascinated and mourning the current state of the publishing industry 🫣

13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

Okay okay okay, like, here’s the thing: given enough incentive, I will happily ignore my own boundaries just to try something new. so if you were like, “Hey Merms, I bet you couldn’t write a Bakugou/Reader fic where Bakugou cheats on us and ALSO it ends with cannibalism” I would immediately rise to the defensive and be like, ok ur on. I would be incredibly unhappy doing it, and would do my best to try and make as many other people as possible unhappy too, LOL, but I would do it.

The problem is that it would make me miserable and peevish and depressed. Like, that would spill out from my writing time and I would go about the rest of my day—if not days—acting like I was the one who’d been cheated on and cannibalised, and simmering in that anger.

I like writing about intense things. I find it (relatively) easy to do. The difficult part is regulating how I feel about it afterwards, depending on what kind of intense it is. 🥹

(I do also wonder if this is an age thing, too. Like, When I was fifteen and a kissless virgin and writing fic, one of my most popular stories involved cheating. It was very melodramatic, and I would trot out the same trope/circumstances (our MC is cheated on by their beloved partner with someone said partner has history with) again and again over the next few years. I’ve never been cheated on! I mean, that I know of (🔪). But it was such an easy to-go for me, because it always meant instant emotional validation, right? Whereas now as an adult I prefer the relationships in my stories to either be the fun thing we’re chasing, or to be the supportive bedrock we need and NOT the source of angst, because if it’s going to hurt, then it needs to hurt in a im-going-to-cannibalise-you-and-then-kill-myself kinda way and not a we’re-gonna-break-up-and-you’re-gonna-be-a-jerk boring kinda way).

16. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever used as a bookmark?

A plate and it was one time and I was desperate (and in the kitchen).

23. Describe the physical environment in which you write. Be as detailed as possible. Tell me what’s around you as you work. Paint me a picture.

My desk is in the corner; it’s covered with letters and sketchbooks and magazines and I have four BNHA figures scattered around and one little Slyvanian baby in a blue duck costume and a ceramic jar that used to be an expensive candle that now holds a variety of lip balms and ibuprofen and also a random diamond ring that I don’t wear. I’m under a window—in the afternoon the light hits the wall and lights up my corner. Next to me I have a corkboard filled with cards and polaroids from and of my friends and also a bunch of postage stamps from Japan that I collected back when I was super into stationary.

But omg, pluvi, RE: Lightlark and the publishing industry—like, we all know that the publishing industry is there to make money, we get it. And I think that Alex Aster was probably, what, one of the first in that tiktok trend to be like, “would you read [insert tropes and Pinterest moodboard here]?” so I get it, on a purely business scale, why a publisher would swoop in and offer her money and then rush to get to get the book out. Like!!! Things and trends and interest move fast!!! You have to get that book into the hot lil hands of the teenage booktokers ASAP to make that 100k advance worth it.

But it’s so jarring to see in action! Because if Aster had an editor who cared, like, maybe a few of the bigger, more jarring problems would be tightened or changed. And idk, maybe it’s hypocritical to stand here in my un-beta’d, fanficy corner and be like, “check yourself!!!!” but???????? I will always, always be more ruthless with a traditionally published piece of work because they simply have more resources to do better. They have more eyes on it (which means, theoretically, more helpful critiquing), they have the time to write it (theoretically thanks to that advance), like—there’s just more. I expect more because they have more in which to tell this story with. If you want my money (new paperback books in Australia are easily within the $18-$30 range depending on size and genre!!!) then you have to show me that you have cared enough about this product to make it satisfying to read.

art is to feel (Epilogue 2: A Very Bridgerton Christmas) | A Bridgerton Series

Series: art is to feel

Paring: Anthony Bridgerton x F!Reader

Summary: (post-art is to feel) The new Viscount and Viscountess Bridgerton spend their first Christmas together.  

Word Count: 1.4k

Warnings: N/A this is just tooth-rotting fluff

A/N: Let me know what you think of these little blurbs! Traditionally a Julia Quinn 2nd epilogue is about kids but I don’t write pregnancy so I wrote this instead lol

epilogue 1  // Series Masterlist

Aubrey Hall was alight for the festive season. 

As the new Viscountess, (Y/N) had taken it upon herself to decorate her new home to the highest standards, going all out in preparation for the celebrations. She had even invited every last one of the Bridgerton’s neighbors to make the journey to spend the holidays celebrating with the Bridgertons. Filling into her new position with confidence.

Seemingly every corner of the house was covered in baubles, ribbons, candles, pine and fir trees, holly, and other various decorations that the servants had pulled out of storage at the new Viscountess’ behest. 

You had been admiring your own handiwork in the front hall when a footman informed you that the rest of your family had begun to pull up the drive. You rushed to find your coat and meet them out on the drive.

When you and Anthony had decided to move your residence from London back to Anthony’s seat in Kent, you’d assumed that his mother and siblings would all be returning with you, but Violet had insisted that the two of you go back alone and that she and Anthony’s younger siblings would remain in London a while longer to give the two of you a longer, a quote-un-quote “honeymoon period” insisting that they’d all return closer to the holidays.

And while you’d appreciated the chance to get settled in at Aubrey Hall and to spend some quality time with Anthony without having to worry about any of his family members hearing the two of you through the walls,  now they were on their way back. And you couldn’t have been more excited to have plenty of people around.

“Violet! It’s so good to see you,” You greeted your mother-in-law as she stepped out of her carriage as a Hyacinth and Gregory-sized blur whisked past you and into the house. 

“And you as well, you look lovely dear,” Violet greeted you with a tight hug.

“Anthony’s just finishing up the last bit of decorating in the drawing-room, I told him we’d meet him in there when you arrived,” You tell her as the older Bridgerton siblings step out of their own carriage and make their way towards you. 

Violet grinned as she allowed you to escort her and the rest to the drawing-room.

It was later in the evening when Violet entered the drawing-room and found her eldest two sons and her only daughter-in-law already dressed for dinner. 

“Anthony, darling, why is there mistletoe in every room of the house?” Violet Bridgerton asked her eldest son. 

“Well, we had to make sure everything was perfectly decorated for (Y/N)’s first Christmas here at Aubrey Hall,” Anthony tells his mother as you placed a kiss on his cheek.

“Your wife doesn’t seem to need a reason to kiss you,” Benedict scoffed as he glanced up from his sketchbook.

“She certainly does not,” Anthony replied cheekily. “But it is fun.”

A few days after the Bridgertons arrived, the rest of the Viscount and Viscountesses guests descended at Aubrey Hall. 

Anthony was fulfilling his hosting duties and making the rounds, greeting his guests when he approached one of his least favorite neighbors, who was admiring some of the artwork hanging on the wall.

“I hear your wife fancies herself a painter, does she do watercolors?” Lord Hacksby asked Anthony.

“Not very frequently, she prefers oils,” Anthony replied. “Many of her paintings are displayed here in the house.”

“Are they? Perhaps in a back bedroom somewhere?” The Lord asked in that conspiratorial tone that gentlemen liked to use when talking about how silly women are.

“You’re actually looking at one of her pieces right now,” Anthony replied cooly. “My wife does not like to brag about her work, but I myself happen to enjoy the task. She has several pieces on display at the National Gallery, as well as many other exhibits across the continent. Turns out her work is quite popular in Italy.”

“So I suppose she does not fancy herself a painter, Lord Hacksby, but rather, she is a painter. And a very talented one at that.” Anthony added before making his way across the room, back to his wife.

As snow fell the silence outside Aubrey Hall was a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the house the last few days. As much as you enjoyed hosting, and spending time with friends. You were more than ready to have the house back to just yourselves. Well you, Anthony, and your entire family. 

“Are they all gone?” A voice asked from behind you. 

You turned to see Anthony making his way over to you, his jacket haphazardly draped over his shoulders.

“That’s the last of them,” You replied as your turned your head to gesture towards the carriage that was making his way back to the road in the gentle flurries that were beginning to fall around you.

“Tonight will be just family, so we’ll open presents tonight,” Anthony tells you as he wraps his arms around you and pulls your back into his warm chest.

“Did you get me a good present?” You ask as you turn your head slightly, peering back at him with curiosity. 

“I guess you’ll just have to wait and see,” He quips as he presses a quick kiss to the crown of your head. 

You both stand like that for a few moments, just appreciating the quiet and each other's company.

“You didn’t need to defend me to Lord Hacksby,” You say after a moment.

“Yes I did, you’re my wife,” Anthony tells you, loosening his grip on you slightly so that you can turn around and face him as he speaks. “So it’s one of my obligations as your husband to defend your honor. Besides, it’s one of my favorite things about being married.”

“What are your other favorite things about being married?” You ask with a wicked grin.

“I think you know,” He whispered in your ear before pulling his head back and kissing you soundly.

“Happy Christmas, Viscountess Bridgerton,” Anthony tells you quietly, his lips still just inches from yours as he looks into your eyes lovingly.

“Happy Christmas, Anthony,” You replied, unable to stop yourself from grinning back at him broadly.

An incomplete list of the 1814 Bridgerton Christmas gifts:

From (Y/N) to Anthony, a puppy. 

Anthony was not pleased when the puppy jumped up and began licking his face, but the look on his face at that moment had been priceless.

From Anthony to (Y/N), a set of new paints. 

Hyacinth didn’t think the gift was particularly romantic, but (Y/N) had kissed her brother like it was the most beautiful piece of jewelry in the world.

From (Y/N) to Violet, a painting of the Bridgerton family. 

Violet teared up when she unwrapped the canvas to see a likeness of the entire Bridgerton family sitting around the table eating dinner.

From Benedict to Anthony, a framed sketch of (Y/N).

Eloise didn’t know why Anthony looked terribly embarrassed by this gift, it was a sketch of his own wife, after all.

From Anthony and (Y/N) to Hyacinth, a blue riding habit, in addition to a horse for her to ride when at Aubrey Hall. 

Violet Bridgerton was not particularly pleased by this incredibly extravagant gift.

From (Y/N) to Eloise, A set of small soft, leather-covered journals.

From Simon to (Y/N), a crystal vase.

Violet thought it looked oddly similar to the vase that Lady Featherington gifted Daphne and Simon on the occasion of their wedding. 

From Violet to Eloise, a collection of books.

Most of which turned out to be etiquette guides.

From Daphne to Simon, a baby’s rattle.

The gift was followed immediately by Daphne announcing that she would be giving birth to the couple’s second child in the early summer, much to everyone’s delight.

From Colin to all, a letter from the Amalfi Coast and a large package of presents

For Anthony, cured ham. 

For Violet, Daphne, (Y/N), and Francesca various pieces of Italian glass jewelry. 

For Gregory and Hyacinth, Sicilian sweets. 

For Eloise, specialty stationery. 

And for Benedict, several bottles of wine. 

Unfortunately, the jewelry and bottles broke during their journey, drenching the stationary and spoiling the sweets and even the ham.

Hi!!! I am loving your reco list! I wanted to ask for some HS/College AUs. I've already read centripetal force and I kinda want more that AU. LOL! Thanks in advance! You are awesome!

23. M. Looking for a challenge. by (orphan_account) [T, 15K]

“A cute boy with an ass like that says he’s up for a challenge and you send him a math problem?" (Giacometti, 2017).

A (not-so) comprehensive study on the (terrible) mating habits of (beautiful) grad student, Yuuri Katsuki, and (future) Nobel Laureate Viktor Nikiforov D. Sc.

(Or: That one where two physicists fall in love and set off a nuclear reaction. Except not really.)

Accidental Crush by Ashida / @captain-erwinmerica [M, 13K]

4.18pm from: Unknown Number.

Message:

’Had to find a pen and paper and take a decent photo :P here you go.’

There was a photo attached alright, a photo that had Yuuri gasping and blushing for good reasons instead of bad, who would have thought the unknown number was in fact not lying, and in fact, one of the most disgustingly hot people Yuuri had ever seen in his life.

----

Or, a university AU in which Yuuri's phone is plagued with spam text messages and the one time he decides to text back results in the best thing ever.

Backflip by @kiaronna [T, 4K]

The captain of the football team and the head of the cheerleading squad are supposed to be together. Everybody in high school knows this to be fact. Yuuri, who’s head of the cheerleading squad, knows better than to believe it.

He keeps interrupting Viktor Nikiforov setting up Prom-posals for a mystery crush, after all.

cancel your reservations by rennaisance [T, 5K]

Yuuri is a college student conducting private fencing lessons for a handsome, rich, and mysterious student. Viktor is not learning to fence because he does medieval reenactments.

don't be fooled by igneousbitch [E, 3K]

Viktor religiously follows the doctrine: "If I'm going to fail, I may as well look good while doing it."

It's exam season. Viktor's stress levels are proportionate to the amount of brand name items he wears on his person. Yuuri is both aroused and concerned.

Have You Heard? by teawithfiction [T, 5K]

According to rumors, Viktor Nikiforov had been seen crying in the E building’s staircase. No one really seemed to know what was the reason, but everyone were terribly curious about it.

hey isn't this easy? by @thehobbem [T, 17K]

Of all the things Victor expected when he moved to their new house, becoming neighbors with the cutest guy he's ever seen was the very last of them.

He should wait for tomorrow, like a reasonable person, and talk to him at school.

....or he could use his old sketchbook to write messages to the boy across from his bedroom window.

i like you lots series by @xyloophones [G and T, 16K]

A series of unrelated high school AUs

in wine we trust by @fireblazie [T, 2K]

Yuri peers into the expanse of the apartment and finds a single, flickering light in the kitchen. He stealthily tiptoes across the floor with the baseball bat clutched tightly in his fists, only to find that, what the hell, this bastard is actually fucking raiding his fridge.

“That’s my pirozhki, asshat!” he snarls, ready to swing his bat when the intruder turns around.

Shit, Yuri thinks. It’s Beautiful International Student Yuuri Katsuki.

Kabe-don by cryingoverspilledvodka / @victorsporosya [T, 16K]

While on a brief summer exchange to Hasetsu High School, Victor meets Yuuri. And promptly decides he's perfect. If only Yuuri would notice, then it would all work out rather nicely.

Macaroni and Kisses by @jaeger-babe [G, 6K]

Their college is holding a contest for whoever can raise the most money for charity. The prize; a years supply of Mac and Cheese. Cue Phichit, a hungry and unstoppable force, fully prepared to exploit the campus' love for Yuuri Katuski by opening a kissing booth for a day.

Even if they don't win, it's worth it to see Yuuri's face when he tells him Victor Nikiforov is in line.

Nuclear Hearts Club by butterbeerbitch / @the-tortellini-man [T, 84K]

He remembers his sister made being seventeen look like life was happening harder than it ever did. All those big, brutal feelings.

And he’s here now, and it's untangling in a pace too fast for him to hold onto anything. Something's starting and something's ending, and it makes sense until it doesn't, and he's stuck somewhere in the middle thinking it won't ever stop feeling like this.

All this changing in a town where nothing ever does.

-

Being seventeen in the middle of nowhere isn't supposed to be a walk in the park. Add being crazy in love with your brother's best friend to the equation, and it’s safe to say you’re cosmically fucked for life.

Good thing Yuuri Katsuki's not used to having nice things.

Russian for Dummies by @cutthroatpixie [G, 2K]

"Are you a beginner?"

Viktor was not a beginner. Viktor was the TA supposedly in charge of this study session. Viktor spoke Russian. Viktor was Russian.

"Sure!"

something else, something fundamentally you by @louciferish [T, 7K]

They call it amoressence, the scent of love, and it’s no ordinary smell. It’s something beyond a favorite candle or a beloved food, a mixture of aromas utterly unique to each person. It’s something no one could ever truly name: the smell they can only identify the day they meet their soulmate, and it’s believed to echo a faded, happy memory of the past.

When Yuuri collides with Victor Nikiforov in the hall outside his class one day, the floor drops out from beneath him when Victor declares Yuuri to be his soulmate. He should be happy, right? After all, he’s admired Victor from afar for years.

Yet all Yuuri can think is, Oh no. Not this again.

you've been hit by, you've been struck by by @crossroadswrite [T, 3K]

“Sold!” Phichit shouts, banging the gavel they had scoured five different thrift shops for on the table. “To the gentleman with the big forehead!”

In normal circumstances, Yuuri wouldn’t be this paranoid about going out with some guy, especially one as beautiful and charming as Victor Nikiforov. He’d be nervous and awkward because that’s just his normal state of being, but he would gladly loop his arm through Victor’s and let himself be guided anywhere Victor wanted to go.

The thing is: Victor is a serial killer. Maybe. Probably.

(for the prompt: “You bought me at a charity auction and you’re probably a serial killer”)

[strafethesesinners]

For the oc questions: Fun Facts! For the wonderful Cooper! 💜

Aaaah thank you!! 

Cooper McCoy: Fun Facts!

What tropes do they fit? Which archetypes?

(Sooo I also had to look these up. It’s been a few years since those lit classes lol.) I’m not 100% sure on any of these but maybe The Hero, The Everyman, The Lover and The Rebel. Maybe a little bit the Jester too. I’m not sure.

Do they play any instruments? Sports?

Cooper does not play any instruments. He did wrestling, boxing, and MMA all through high school and is still extremely skilled at all of those, although now he does them out of necessity rather than for fun. 

What are some items they always carry?

Cooper has a beat up old backpack he always carries around with a number of items in it needed for running around. A change of clothes, one of those sleeping bags that can roll up really small, condoms, lube, a little baggie of weed, a strange assortment of candy and power bars, gauze (for bandages), a towel, combo shampoo & bodywash, a small sketchbook and some pencils. He always carries at least one pistol and several throwing knives. 

Do they collect anything?

Not really. He likes to stick feathers in his hatband but doesn’t collect them, just picks one up if he sees one he likes.

What position do they sleep in?

Usually curled up on one or the other side, or on his stomach. He’ll sleep on his back if he’s with someone and they want to use him as a pillow.

Which emoji would they use the most?

;) (I’m doing this from my desktop)

What languages do they speak?

English and Spanish, although his Spanish has gotten a little rusty in Hope County.

What’s their favorite expletive?

Does “Hell yeah!” count? Cause he says that a lot. If not then probably “goddamnit” or “well shit.”

What’s their favorite candle scent?

He doesn’t know what the names are but he likes the ones that smell like cookies or birthday cake.

What songs remind you of them?

“Country Boy” by Alan Jackson, “Whitehouse Road” by Tyler Childers, “Nighttrain” by Guns n Roses, “99 Problems” by Hugo, “Livin’ After Midnight” by Judas Priest, “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks, “Mama Tried” by Merle Haggard.

Which animal would you say represents them?

Like a big dog I think. Fun, loving, and loyal but can be pretty scary or even dangerous if he doesn’t like you. Can run out of control if he doesn’t have someone who loves him and that he can come home too.....

What stereotypical high school clique would they fit into?

Somewhere between jock and stoner.

What would their favorite ride at an amusement park be?

Any of them really. As a kid anyway. Most rides are a little too small for adult Cooper and he doesn’t like feeling cramped. He prefers water parks.

Do they believe in aliens? Ghosts? Reincarnation or something else?

Aliens maybe. Ghosts no and Reincarnation no. 

Do they follow any religions/gods? Do they celebrate holidays?

No he doesn’t. Cooper’s parents were not religious, although they let his grandparents take him to church now and then and Cooper hated it. He always got scolded for not sitting still. Cooper treats holidays like any other day off as in he parties the night of/night before and sleeps the next day. He will give gifts on Christmas if he has someone to give them too.

Which Deadly Sin do they most correspond to? Which Heavenly Virtue?

Deadly Sin: oho well that’s The Big Question isn’t it? I don’t think Cooper is Wrath actually. He does get angry, but not without provocation and he usually cools off quickly. I’d say he’s either Pride or Lust. He can be stubborn and he’s pretty vain about his appearance.  Lust because of his tendency to overindulge in uh pleasures. (Or would that be Gluttony?) We’ll have to wait and see what John decides I guess. Heavenly Virtues: probably Charity or Fortitude.

If you had to choose one tarot card to represent them, which would it be?

I don’t know a lot about Tarot but probably Strength.

Betaed by: the sweet @emilyevanston for betaing this one for me.

***My fics are not to be saved nor posted on any other sites without my express written permission.***

You burst through the front door and jumped up and down a few times trying to regain some of your body heat. You twirled around with a cheeky grin on your face when the two men walked through the door behind you. You had spent the day at the farmer’s marked finding the perfect pumpkins before going apple picking. It had been an amazing day, but now you were chilled to the bone from the cool autumn air.

“You clear on your mission boys?” you teased, making them both chuckle at your antics as they shrugged out of their jackets.

“I’ll make the hot chocolate,” Bucky grinned, kissing your temple before disappearing towards the kitchen.

“I’ll get the candles and you’re on blanket duty sweetheart,” Steve said, poking your side with a playful glare when you made a mark salute.

You giggled, standing on your toes to kiss his cheek, before skipping into the living room where you left the pile last night after movie night. You loved this cabin. It was where you had married the loves of your life a little over a year ago. This place held special meaning to you all and your boys were always completely at ease when you came here. It was their escape and place to just be Bucky and Steve.

“Watch where you’re going doll,” Bucky chuckled when you appeared around the corner with a stack of blankets in your arms, so high it completely covered your face.

“Little difficult Buck,” you sighed dramatically, making Bucky laugh that completely free and uninhibited laugh you loved so much.

“Well my hands are kinda full here Y/N,” he answered you and you knew without being able to see he was carrying three mugs of hot chocolate.

“Let’s see how good you are at following orders,” he teased, talking so close to your ear, you felt his warm breath against your skin and a shiver ran down your spine.

“Keep that up Buck and I’ll drop the blankets and kiss you,” you warned, causing Bucky to laugh again.

“That sounds like a reward, not a punishment sweetheart,” he grinned before calling out to Steve.

“Stevie. I got a lost Y/N out here that refuses to follow orders. What should I do?” you giggled, hearing the playful tone in his voice. You loved when Bucky was in this kind of mood. Both your boys deserved all the happiness in the world.

You didn’t have time to respond or think, before you were swept off your feet and into what you could only assume was Steve’s arms. You squealed in surprise, and your two husbands’ laughter echoed through the cabin, as Steve carried you into the bedroom, tossing you down onto the bed. It took you a few seconds to dig your way out from under the blankets and pout at the two cheekily grinning super soldiers looking down at you.

“I hate you both,” you grumbled, as they crawled into bed on each side of you. Steve spread out the blankets so they made a nest around the three of you, in hopes they would warm you up, while Bucky passed you one of the mugs.

Your fake grumpiness was forgotten with the first sip and you hummed in contentment as Bucky handed Steve his mug. The three of you sat quietly, enjoying each other’s company and nursing your drinks for what felt like hours. You loved just being with them like this and you ended up, leaning your head against Bucky’s chest was your legs rested in Steve’s lap. You smiled as you watched the two men’s free hands intertwined.

“Trade hands,” you giggled a few minutes later when the mugs where all empty and started playing with your hair.

“What? You don’t wanna get stuck with me?” Bucky chuckled but obeyed your orders causing you to roll your eyes, but you smiled when you watched Steve pulling out his drawing pad and sit back against the headrest.

Neither you or Bucky commented on his actions even if you knew he was drawing the two of you. It wasn’t the first time and it wouldn’t be the last. Actually, you loved feeling Steve’s loving gaze as he tried to transfer every detail he loved about the two of you to his paper. You suspected Bucky felt the same way, maybe even more so than you did.

“Doll?”

“Hmm” you hummed acknowledging you were listening as you leaned into his touch. You were one purr short of acting like a cat getting a head rub.

“Why do you love fall so much?” Bucky asked, and Steve looked up from his sketchbook paying attention, as he was curious for the answer as well. Not that you noticed, your eyes were still closed enjoying Bucky’s touch.

“I don’t know. A lot of reasons. I love the fresh air and the colors changing. It’s like every day has a new look,” you answered, tilting your head giving Bucky better access.

“I think it has to do with the memories though. I always went apple picking with my family as a kid and my sister and I got to choose our own pumpkins. Dad taught us how to carve them and mom baked apple pies with us,” you opened your eyes, leaning back against Bucky’s chest looking at Steve watching the two of you. You reached out to him and he instantly moved to rest his head in your lap, letting you play with his hair as Bucky wrapped his arms around you.

“My favorite season is summer. I hate the cold,” he grumbled, making you tilt your head and press a kiss to his jaw. Bucky instantly relaxed smiling down at both of you, as he continued talking more softly. “Stevie and I went to Coney Island every summer too. We didn’t have much back then so it was a treat. Remember when we…”

“Don’t” Steve warned, making Bucky throw his head back in laughter and you send them each a puzzled yet amused look. You loved how well the two of them knew each other. They knew what the other was thinking with a look, and you sometimes wondered if you’d ever get to that stage with them. It didn’t really matter if you did or not. Being witness to and even being allowed part of a connection as strong as theirs was an honor and you knew they loved you as deeply as you loved them.

“Steve threw up after riding the cyclone,” Bucky grinned, pulling a face at Steve who playfully pinched Bucky’s thigh in return making him jump and laugh.

“You made me ride it,” Steve grumbled and you’re jaw dropped.

“Weren’t you supposed to make sure he didn’t get himself killed? Not help him do it?” You scolded, gently elbowing Bucky in the stomach, making him laugh even harder. You rolled your eyes deciding Bucky was a lost cause, you turned your attention to Steve.

“What about you?” you asked, tugging his hair slightly, making him hum in contentment.

“Spring. Because it’s filled with promise and because it was spring when I married the two of you,” Steve answered honestly. You felt your heart skip a beat before laughing at Bucky’s huff behind you. The emotion in his voice was evident when he spoke though.

“God Stevie. You’re such a sap,” he grumbled and you laughed as Steve jumped up pouncing on you both. He peppered a laughing Bucky’s face with kisses, holding you flush against them both.

In that moment you realized that from now on every season was going to be your favorite because every season would be filled with perfect memories of the two dorky, sweet, loving men, you had chosen to spend your life with. They were your world and they made every day special in their own way.

[supes9]

I was tagged by @ravenwald roughly, oh, I think it was about five years ago (I’m moving so very slowly over here, haha!) and then by @nygmobbleblog as well! Thank you Raven and Monty! : )

5 things you’ll find in my bag: 

- My keys which include an Eiffel Tower keychain my best friend got for me during her trip to Paris back in the day, and a cute little Cyclops from X-Men keychain : )

- My Supergirl wallet

- Some chapsticks and lip glosses

- A bunch of flashdrives that are constantly being dragged back and forth to work and home

- Some rings and necklace chains and charms that I’ve apparently decided should stay in my purse instead of my jewelry box. ; ) Every now and then I’ll put some jewelry on at work, but most of the time it’s all just stashed away in there.

5 things you’ll find in my bedroom: 

 - Well, let’s start with the piece that really ties the whole room together... my big sitting chair complete with many of my clothes sprawled all over it. No matter how many times I clear everything off of it, it’s only a matter of days until I’m just back in the same predicament, so... whatever. ; )

- Some various Superman wall art and one of my superhero paintings I had done as a high school senior project with my best friend. My two canvases have superheroes, hers have the villains!

- My desk that’s rarely ever used (thought I’d do editing there for whenever I’m working at home, but I prefer to stay in the living room or kitchen around the rest of the family), but it also has some shelving that holds many of my superhero related books and comics, including my DC and Marvel encyclopedias. : )

-   A set of drawer compartments that store art and craft items, like fabrics and threads for sewing (although it’s been forever since I’ve done any sewing), and old sketchbooks, colored pencils, markers, materials for my Silhouette cutting machine, things of this nature...

- I have a chai latte candle that I feel needs to be mentioned because it smells so good. It’s so nice when I have more time to just chill in my room and have that burning, very comforting. : )

5 things that make me happy: 

- Spending time with family and friends. Always the best! : )

- Branching off from the first one, I’m happy when I get to talk with either of my two closest friends on the phone. The one lives on the other side of the country now, but we usually get to chat with each other once every week or two. My other best friend is in New York, which isn’t very far from me, but we haven’t seen each other for a few years now. We don’t get to talk on the phone as frequently, but a few weeks back I called her and we talked for (we’re pretty sure a record-breaking) five hours, catching up and laughing about all kinds of random stuff!

- My sister’s cats always bring me great joy! She got a little crazy and has five of them, but they are all super cute and very sweet! I love snuggling with them when I visit. : )

- When I have the time, I like baking, especially cupcakes! I like to make ones that have a filling inside for extra yumminess, lol! One of my favorites that I made a few years back are the strawberry lemonade cupcakes that have strawberry icing and a lemonade filling!

- I have fun creating gifsets to contribute to the Gotham/Nygmobblepot fandom, as well as editing together fanvids, but I haven’t had a lot of free time for that. There are several Nygmobblepot videos that I’ve started and have yet to finish... whenever I want to continue editing any of them before bed on a weeknight, it ends up being too late and I’m just ready to fall asleep at that point... lol

5 things I’m currently into: 

- Well, Gotham and Nygmobblepot of course. ; )

-  As far as other shows go, I still watch The Flash, and I love The Gifted (a shoutout to Farah for recommending that one to me - thank you, darling!) and The Good Doctor, which just, leaves you an emotional wreck after each episode (Lee knows what I’m talking about!) but it’s a really good show.

- Also watched Stranger Things with my brother a couple of months ago, and I’ve really enjoyed that as well. We binge-watched its two seasons within like three days, and now I’m just waiting for the third season...

- I’m still into watching classic movies and finding new ones through TCM. I especially like ones that include any of my main men, like Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart, Glenn Ford and Robert Montgomery. Love ‘em. ; )

- Since our football team (Philadelphia Eagles) have somehow been continuing to stay alive this season, I’m all for watching the games every weekend with the family. I mean, we do that anyway, but now we’re in the championship game that will lead us to the Super Bowl if they win tonight, which would be pretty exciting! Not sure if they can pull it off, but we shall see! The main thing is that the games are just always fun to watch with the family. : )

I think just about everyone has been tagged for this and already done it, but, I’ll tag some of you lovelies anyway, lol! @mymycorrhizae, @ponchik-mops-superpes, @riddlerbird, and @thenerdiestmanalive

antique white, flax, and seashell

(( 1. antique white: if you were to paint a picture of your childhood, what colors would you use? describe your picture.2. flax: what’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?3. seashell: do you have a collection? if so, what do you collect and why?

Katie (all of the above):

1. Um… Hm. That’s a good question. I think I’d use natural colors based on my memory (since the place I’m thinking of doesn’t really exist anymore), with brighter colors in the background and darker colors in the foreground to signify the shadowed area.

The picture would be of me with hair back in a messy ponytail, my legs pulled up to my chest, and my face burried in my arms while sitting in the sand under the lower right portion of a wooden jungle gym that had a rope bridge connecting it to the upper right portion. (If given enough time I could actually draw a rough sketch of the jungle gym because I have fonder memories of it than I do of other kids.) It’d be afternoon recess in 1st grade, and I’d be “hiding” from the kids who were bullying me again for the hundredth time. No one could see it, but I’d be crying to myself.

Boy, I miss that jungle gym lol.

2. Oh dear. Uh…. I’m not sure? I haven’t really thought about that. Lemme think…..

Well, from recently I told someone, “There’s a reason faith, hope, and love are the greatest things God gave us, and why love is the greatest of the three. You don’t give up on ANY of them, and you don’t let others try to pry them away from you.”

I won’t go into specifics, but that’s a lesson I’ve personally had to learn the hard way.

3. I have. SO many collections of random things. Shells, rocks, animal bones, pressed leaves, dried roses, necklaces, Knight Rider merchandise, Pokedolls, wolf related items, sketchbooks, etc. Collections like dvds, books, Pokemon cards, hot wheels, knives, dragon related stuff, and manga I share with Lian.

When it comes to all the nature stuff, I just really like how pretty they are. And I’m fascinated by bones and fossils- though I don’t like dead things as a whole. If it’s not just a skeleton, like…a half-decomposed body or something, that just freaks me out in ways I fail to understand.

As for Pokedolls, they’re just cute and cuddly and I like small things. Wolf stuff- that’s because a wolf is my spirit animal. My love for dragon stuff was derived from my fascination with paleontology and dinosaurs (and I just love dragons, so.), and Knight Rider (namely the 1982 version) is probably the one thing that is guaranteed to make me smile anymore when I’m having a really bad day. And my interest mainly lies with the cars.

With sketchbooks, I just draw a lot and I tend to get more than necessary and end up with a lot of blank pages in between. So….I kinda hoard those. And since I don’t like a lot of jewelry, necklaces are my default. Though I usually where 2 in particular- one with a gold chain and a silver bell, and a silver, angel-shaped locket.

Lian (seashell):

“I kinda tend to collect random junk most the time just because it’s interesting. Though I do like shiny things and end up snatching those every now and then. Otherwise I collect (and hoard) books, dvds, pokemon cards, knives, candles, hot wheels, dragon stuff, and manga.

Reasons for the shared collections being: Books and dvds give me and Katie stuff to do other than video games and being online, hot wheels are just cool (though we’re both picky about ‘em), a dragon is my spirit animal and dragons are a high interest of mine in general, and we both read manga constantly (also something we’re picky about). Also, we’ve been collecting pokemon cards since kindergarten. No point in stopping now. *shrug*

I collect candles purely because they can be set on fire without causing damage to the house, and I like knives because they CAN cause damage if someone tries to attack me or my sister. Also, I just really like sharp things.” ))

5) Swipe card and room key (for my college campus and dorm)

5 things you’ll find in my bedroom:

1) Lots of precious stuffed animals!

2) Desk set up for drawing with my laptop and tablet connected

3) Sketchbooks and lots of traditional art supplied I wish I used more

4) A fake candle lamp that says “happy haunting” because I get spoopy any ole time

5) Clothing draped on a chair or on my bed because I need to put it away whoops

5 things I’ve always wanted to do in life:

1,2) I only have two things on my ‘bucket list’ so far: eat rattlesnake and visit Hell Creek formation

3) Get a pet! I have never had a pet before

4) I want to become a published artist! like with a real published comic or tv show or something. still not sure where my art is taking me but I still have time to figure it out~

5) Hmmm guess I’ll put ‘get married’ on here since I dunno if it’ll happen and it would be tons of hard work but I’ve been told it’s worth it haha

5 things that make me happy:

1) My friendships! Especially the amazing Christian fellowship I have with my college friends. It’s like I didn’t know what real friendship could be like until I met them.

2) My brother! He is my original BFF and my favorite person in the world~

3)  Drawing! I guess it has to be on here haha since it’s my Thing

4) Cycling. I really love exploring local shops after cycling into town for the day

5) Musicals

5 things I’m currently into:

1) Gotta put Portal first since it’s the most recent thing that’s really resonated with me

2) My dinosaur love is coming back since I recently re-read Jurassic Park. I always love dinosaurs but I’ve been thinking about them more lately.

3) Bluegrass music! I love bluegrass and I found a great instrumental playlist on Spotify so I use that when studying. I love the feelings of spring and summer in the South that it evokes.

4) I watch Steven Universe and even though I don’t really post about it it’s great and I try to keep up with the new episodes

5) I wouldn’t say I’m ‘into’ it per se but I’ve been listening to Hamilton a lot lately and I really enjoy that

5 things on my to do list:

1) Finish REM this summer! I love it but I’m ready to move on to other things.

2) Finish this semester strong!

3) I also have to get prepared for my study away in May aaahh I have so much to do for school

4) I’m doing a scripture plan where I read the whole Bible in a year, a little each day, so that’s always on my list. It’s been really cool so far.

5) Right now I’m reading The Circle since the movie comes out at the end of the month and my friend wants me to see it with her. Should be fun!

5 things people may not know about me:

1) I went through a phase where I was one of those edgy Warrior Cats animators on YouTube. Some of the videos are still up since they got me thousands of views lol so if anyone reading this wants to hunt them down for a laugh… they aren’t hard to find.

2) Related - when I was still active on YouTube I had my own original series called Dinosaur Dynasty! It was supposed to have 10 episodes but I only got through 3… but I’m still really proud of what I managed to accomplish! I also voice-acted in them. Again, if you look me up on YouTube you can find them. ^^

3) I was conceived via in vitro fertilization. So if you thought “test tube babies” weren’t real… I am one! Though I was actually formed in a petri dish, I think.

4) I can’t really understand sarcasm. I mean, I know what it is, but I guess I’m gullible and sometimes it’s very difficult for me to tell when people are joking with me. So it can be really frustrating and result in accidentally hurt feelings if I have a sarcastic friend. Then of course the internet also makes it hard to tell what people really intend to say when they ‘speak’.

5) I’m pretty type A when it comes to school. I’ve always had good grades, I never skip class in college… I feel so guilty if I don’t put effort into an assignment since I don’t want to let my teachers down. I don’t get how other kids can just do whatever and do assignments last minute and stuff. I have to do everything XD

I tag @toothpaste-dragon, @starry-nightengale and @elvenwhovian (hopefully y’all haven’t been tagged before)
