Botanic Tournament : Main Bracket !

Round 3 Poll BBB

(Lemon and narcissus)

[johaerys-writes]

how many chapters do you plan on bbb being?? i love the drama so far

Oh man asking the tough questions right there 😅😅 The answer is, I don’t know. When I started, it was supposed to be a one shot. Then I decided to split it into 3 chapters. Then it grew it something like five chapters. Now I'm looking at something like eight chapters and that's a rough estimate. So let’s round that up to 10 and see how it goes shall we lmao

[brobonebang]

Hello Bro Boners!! We are happy to announce that round 2 of the Bro Bone Bang has concluded with a total of 32 fancies of filial fucking available for your delectation: find our masterlist here and the AO3 page for the collection here, if you want to indulge in this tantalising tantric Turkish delight.

Anyway: you know what that means (and okay yes we had a little two-week hiatus while your neighbourhood mod juggled that festive overwhelm we all know so well) - anyway - round 3 of the Bro Bone Bang is go and our theme for this time around is SONGS. Your prompt should be in the form of a song title and artist: no more, no less. As usual at the Bro Bone Bang we prefer our prompts the way we prefer our drugs - non-prescriptive (this is untrue and also probably ungrammatical but we’re surfing this wave now, no time to get off) (unlike Sam and Dean, who always make time to get off, eyyyy).

Prompts for round 3 will be accepted until the end of February 2023 and fills until midnight UTC on March 5th of the same year (that is to say, next year, obviously we’re not going to run this round for like 15 months). Any song you like! Maybe it’s a classic rock song, maybe - given the season - it’s a Christmas carol, maybe it’s a pop classic of your yoof (whenever that youth may have been, no judgements here). Just pop it in the prompt box and leave it to the lovely fanwork creator to interpret the music and lyrics as they see fit. (A brief reminder: art fills are very welcome! For fics we ask for a 500-word minimum - just a little treatsy taste - so interpret that art-wise however makes sense to you.)

Just one more time for ease of access: you can find the Round 3 AO3 collection here. This is where you can leave and fill prompts. If you wanna post a link to your completed fanwork on your Tumblr once it’s done, please go ahead, and please tag @brobonebang​ so we can see it and reblog it!

(The rules and FAQ for the challenge remain the same as for round 1, so feel free to check them out again if you need a refresher. Any questions? Mods are here for you as always! Just send us an ask.)

PoliZ's WIP Update - 28 Aug 2024

Another productive writing week!  I touched four fics (1 new & 3 WIPs)  and wrote a total of  2930  words.   

On Ao3, I posted: 

 Chapter One of  Love is Like a Muscle (and you make me want to flex) - WinterIron mutual pining turns smutty.  

Operation Sun and Surf -  Tony & Avengers team-as-family one shot with touches of angst.  

On Tumblr I posted: 

A Symbol of Devotion - Stony one shot - friends to something more.     

I’m juggling  20+  active/semi-active WIPs with my current  deadline being the Tony Stark This or That event which runs til the end of August.  

See  below cut for what I’m working on/planning to work on - arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc.  As always, feel free to send me   prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding  any of these projects  or any other WIPs I’ve got out there.   Interaction really helps feed the Muse and keep me motivated!

Hot Bucky Summer 2024 [HBS_R2] (Ends 31 Aug)

More fun from the @buckybarnesevents folks - this time weekly challenges to create (usually NSFW) Bucky-centric fanworks!   Thanks to plenty of cross-filling with other events  (I’m looking at you, July Break Bingo)  I’ve submitted something for the first eleven weeks and am working on one more with a vague idea for the final week - here’s hoping time & inspiration hold out!  

* Week 12 - August 17th - August 23rd  – “What should I wear?” + Nothing -  Posted Chapter One of  Love is Like a Muscle (and you make me want to flex) on Friday.    WinterIron massage therapy (Tony getting his hands on Bucky) leading to a  happy ending. It came in at 1200 words and  crossed over  with BaBB August: Body Worship, BBB K1 - Tony Stark's Workshop.  

* Week 13 (August 24th - 30th) -  FREE WEEK + Optional Prompts: Mutual Masturbation  –  Chapter Two of Love is Like a Muscle (and you make me want to flex)  is written and will post Friday.  It’s coming in at 1024 words and crosses over with my TSTOT Row 3: Lab Sex and  WIB N2 - Mutual Pining  squares.  

Tony Stark This or That  [TSTOT_24] (Ends 31 Aug 2024)

I signed up late and then promptly forgot I had a card - so am tackling this 8-row card with the hopes of getting it at least halfway done by the end of the month.  I’ve made that goal, and might try to squeeze in one more fill before Saturday ends! 

* Row 3: Lab Sex - see HBS Week 13 above

* Row 7: Beach Day - Posted  Operation Sun and Surf - a crossover with a previous Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF266 Great Expectations]  & my TSB K2 - Miscommunication square.  Tony rents a beach house in hopes of getting the Avengers together for a bit of team bonding;  things don’t quite go as planned.  It came in at 835 words.

Build-A-Bucky Bingo [BaBB_R1] (Ends 31 Oct 2024)

Another fun year-long  event from the folks at  @buckybarnesevents!  Each month there’s a list of prompts and you choose (at least) one  each month for your card!  At thirty-two  fills and about two months to go, I seem to be going a bit overboard …. 😁

* May:  Bucky’s Trigger Words -  combined this with a previous  Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF251 Out There] for Just To Live One Day Out There - a Winter Soldier self-reflective ficlet. It came in at 312 words and will get posted to Ao3 Real Soon. 

* August: Body Worship - see HBS: Week 12 above. 

WinterIron Bingo Round 2  [WIB_R2] (Ends 16 Dec 2024)

Signups are still open for pre-made cards for Round Two of this super-fun bingo event! I have seventeen  fills and zero WIPs at the moment - setting this aside for the moment, as I have other time-sensitive events going.  

* Iron Soldier (One Bingo, One Fill) - looking at combining my Column B prompts: Matchmaker, Bucky Riding Tony, Stark Gala, Inside Joke and Threesome.  Still working on a plot - if you have any suggestions/want-to-sees - let me know! 

* I3 - Car Sex -  Have a fun ficlet in mind for this - some of the dialogue & such already worked out in my head.  

*I4 - SHIELD HQ - Finally posted  Fathers Don’t Know Best  to Ao3 this morning.  A crossover with Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF245 You Never Cared, it’s a No Powers AU with Bucky working as an analyst at SHIELD who stumbles across a late night visitor to the lobby.  It came in at 410 words. 

* N1 - Hair Pulling Kink -  thanks to a fun prompt from @scottxlogan  - I filled this square with Untangling Their Attraction - where Tony’s offer of assistance leads to mutual kink discovery (not as racy as it might sound).  It’s coming in at 544 words and will post to Ao3 before this event is over. 

* N2 - Mutual Pining - see HBS Week 13 above. 

* N5 - "I'm here for you."  - Possibly the next chapter of  Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion ?  

* O3 - Love Confession - Circling back around to Chapter Seven of  A Little Bit Carried Away - where Pepper learns about the impulsive offer Tony made to Bucky after they spent the night together.   It’s drafted at  1029 words and will cross over with TSB K3 - Pepper Potts and my pJBB C1_A1 - "Promise me you won't get mad."  prompt.  Slated to post on 9 Sep. 

Bucky Barnes Bingo - Round Six [BBB - R6]  (Ends 31 Mar)

This amazing bingo event from the folks over at @buckybarnesbingo is back!  I have twelve  fills with one WIP at the moment, but a couple  more crossovers planned. 

* K1 - Tony Stark's Workshop - see HBS Week 12 above. 

* K4 - Last Times/Farewells - combined this with a previous  Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF257 Count The Days ] for  Short-Timing It - a pre-war (just barely) Bucky & Steve (Stucky if you squint) ficlet. It came in at 313 words and will post to Ao3 before the event is over.   

Tony Stark Bingo - Mark VIII [TSB_R8]  (Ends 31 May)

This amazing bingo event from the folks over at @tonystarkbingo is back! Late signups will start next month if you want to join in on the fun!  I have  four  squares filled and one WIP - I need to plan out more crossovers! 

* T1 - Watching Helplessly -  Posted Stranded Among the Stars  to Tumblr on Friday as a crossover with the Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF265 Galaxies Away]. It’s a Nebula & Tony ficlet set on the ship - it came in at 345 words and will get posted to Ao3 before the event ends. 

* R4 - Bartender - Got inspired by another song to start Some Other Beginning’s End - Tony’s a bartender dealing with an a-hole patron (Brock) and his just-broken-up-with boyfriend (Bucky).  It’s sitting at 1028  words and I plan to cross over with my  pJBB  C2_A2 - "You deserve someone who makes you happy."  square. I may try to squish a few other squares in before I’m done. 

* K2 - Miscommunication - see TSTOT Row 7: Beach Day above

* K3 - Pepper Potts -  see WIB O3 - Love Confession above

* K5 - Misunderstandings - see HBS Week 10 above. 

Hawkeyes Bingo [HB_R2] (Ends TBD) 

Working on this  Tumblr event - got a 3x3 card and am looking forward to creating more  Clint-centric content and trying my hand at a bit of  Kate Bishop fic as well!    

* A3 - Awkward Flirting – this might be a good entry into my first femslash fic with Kate/Yelena?    

* C1 - Magic -  Combined this with a previous Flash Fiction Friday prompt  [#FFF259 House of Cards]   for   Keep a Steady Hand.  Clint notices Bucky getting frustrated with a task and offers to help.  It came in at 632 words and will post to Ao3 possibly later this month.   

Post July Break Bingo 2024  [pJBB_24] (Ends 30 Jun 2025)

I requested two 2x3 cards for this  Discord-server only event from @julybreakbingo  – so if you want to join in the fun, let me know and I’ll try to get you an invite!  I have two fics in progress and need to figure out some more crossovers. 

* C1_A1 - "Promise me you won't get mad." - see WIB * O3 - Love Confession

* C2_A2 - "You deserve someone who makes you happy."  -  see TSB R4 - Bartender.  

Warm and Fluffy   Bingo  [WFB]   (no end date)

Eight fills on my card, courtesy of   @warmandfluffybingocards  - need to try for another crossover or two!

* I2 - Vulnerable Drunk - matched this up with a previous Flash Fiction Friday prompt of [#FFF258 Milky Way Dreams]  for Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines -  a MIT-era Tony & Rhodey ficlet, where a drunk Tony shares a childhood dream with his best friend.  It came in at 318 words and will get posted to Ao3 at some point.

Fave Long Fics

good ol' @arahir is asking for everyone's fave long fics, so here are mine!

sorry if the rambling is a bit long, I just want to express my love <3

🌟: denotes a fic that belongs in the literary equivalent of the Louvre-- a stunning piece of writing even outside of its contribution to the fandom

JJBA

🌟 scheherazade -- shylittleghost; Josuke/Okuyasu-centric, but multiple POVs; canon-compliant prequel/sequel to part 4, necessary to read/watch part 4 to understand

this is one of those fics that not only elevates the original work in several ways, but it's a stunning piece of writing as a whole. the flow and tone of the piece is so unique and difficult to describe, with a fitting balance between mystery/horror and deadpan humor, and uses the narrating voice to play with the 4th wall in a really fun and satisfying way. oh, and one of the last chapters is a little RPG game, adding a bit little multimedia twist <3

BEASTARS

🌟 Mongrels and Strays series (mainly Mongrels and Lockjaw)-- HassouToby; technically Mongrels' primary ships are Legosi/Haru and Louis/Juno, but it's more genfic with multiple POVs. Lockjaw is Pina/Riz-centric; canon divergence from ch 156 of the manga, so it's necessary to read at least that far to understand

I have a complicated love/hate relationship with Beastars, but this fic honestly retroactively makes Beastars a better experience, imo. it not only enhances the source material, but engages and challenges its implications in ways that I frankly think Beastars itself failed to, introducing a new final antagonist, new thematic tension, and new challenges for the main characters to face. more than anything though, Mongrels feels like what the end of Beastars should have been. this fic isn’t afraid to up the stakes and have actual consequences, making the central conflict feel like a real threat to both individual characters and society as a whole. this fic is intense and brutal, and it’s not afraid to make the characters you love hurt

Homestuck

🌟 Detective Pony -- sonnetstuck; Dirk-centric(??); it's an extension of a one-off joke in the comic, but it's not necessary to know HS to read it (but it's def more satisfying if you're at least familiar with the Alpha kids)

does this fic even need to be stated, for any HS fan? this is a classic of classics, the best rec any HS fan could give. a fic that starts off with a goofy joke from the original comic (a Pony Pals kid's book that Dirk has edited with silly commentary), which gradually snowballs into a much deeper story. a stunning piece of writing, I rank it among the best works of metafiction literature of all time. this fic does an incredible job of imitating Hussie's writing style (specifically Dirk's voice) and the multi-media presentation of HS, it almost feels like it popped straight out of the comic

Endangered -- Mortior; Dirk/Hal, Dirk-centric; robot-apocalypse AU, not necessary to know anything about HS

rly fun au, and one of my fave whump fics, for any whump fans out there. it's also one of my favorite depictions of an AI personality, like the approach to relationships and perceptions feels believable

The Magnus Archives

🌟 Two Ships Passing -- pyrites; Gerry Keay/Jon Sims-centric; a canon-divergent au starting before canon which slightly shifts the flow of the original story, so it's not strictly necessary to be familiar with TMA, but it helps

I must admit I never got around to finishing this one after it finished updating (😭), but trust me when I say this fic is stunning. some scenes still grip me 'round the throat to this day even just thinking about them. and the additional lore/background-building for certain characters is so so fitting and satisfying, it adds so much depth

To The Moon and Back series (main fic is Banned Book Week) -- verboseDescription; several different POVs, though BBB is Gerry/Tim-centric; the main fic diverges from canon after season 3, so I suppose knowledge up to that point is fine

another one I need to get around to finishing someday (idk why I dropped off a bunch of TMA fics specifically...), but this one introduces some interesting new character dynamics, and additional lore-building for many of the characters that adds fun new depth. also a few OCs whom I simply adore <3

What Belongs to the Sea -- TwoDrunkenCelestials, WhyNotFly; starts Elias/Jon, with Jon/Martin endgame, Jon-centric; "Jon is a selkie" au, and the fic implies/explains the rest of canon well enough to read without being familiar with TMA imo

this fic approaches canon worldbuilding from the direction of a different species, giving a unique new perspective on established truths of the setting. I also love the way Jon's character is so different, but still fundamentally the same kinda guy-- "fuck around and find out"-ass man lmao. not to mention Elias' fucked-up dynamic with Jon is ramped up here in a really delicious way, it rly puts their canon dynamic into perspective

Danny Phantom

🌟 Phantom of Truth / Shadow of a Doubt -- HaiJu; Danny Fenton & Maddie Fenton-centric; "what if" scenario divergence from an unspecific point in canon, would prolly be best to be familiar with the show but u can prolly get away with some wiki skimming

this one's a classic, and one of the big contributors to the "dissection/vivisection" genre of whump in the DP fandom, haha. it's such an intimate analysis of Danny's relationship with his mom, and it refuses to pull punches on Danny's situation and resulting trauma. I think it also does an excellent job challenging Maddie's perception/ethics in genuine and fundamental ways

Rise of the Guardians (movie)

🌟 Shadows and Light series -- not_poignant; Jack Frost/Pitch Black, Jack-centric; canon-compliant sequel to the movie (can't speak for book canon), u can prolly get away with reading a wiki summary if u don't wanna watch the movie

one of my fave fics for a decade now, I absolutely LOVE what this fic does for ROTG worldbuilding. so much thought is put into the politics of the fae community, and how magic functions both practically and thematically. and it introduces a ton of cool fae ocs, many of which now have their own stories, as the author has used their fae world here in other original stories as well (would also recommend!!). and the relationship between Pitch/Jack is excellent of course, with a lot of interesting BDSM elements to their dynamic (a common trend in this author's other writing as well)

Mob Psycho 100

🌟 A Breach of Trust -- Phantomrose96; Ritsu, Mob, & Reigen-centric, but multiple other POVs as well; diverges from canon before the start of the canon story, so knowing MP100 isn't necessary

this is a really fun "what if Reigen and Mob didn't meet when they were supposed to?" canon-divergent au. it pushes basically every character to their worst, most self-destructive ends, and it makes me want to throttle some of them (affectionate <3). the fic isn't done yet (as of posting this), but it promises to end satisfyingly-- it just has to put everyone through the wringer first lmao

Welcome to Night Vale

🌟 run, run, fast as you-- -- (orphaned); Cecil/Carlos, Carlos-centric; compliant with early NV lore, mostly diverges in some of Carlos' background and motivations moving to Night Vale. familiarity with s1 would be useful, but not strictly necessary

really really stunning fic, I love the additional lore-building for Carlos and Cecil here, so much is added to their characters. since this is such an old fic, some of the lore here ends up being retroactively false, as the podcast introduced different lore later on. but I almost wish some of the lore here was canon b/c it's just that good (like Cecil's whole thing with the orphanage, and how the orphanage even functions OUGH!)

The Devil Went Down To Georgia (you heard that right, the country song)

🌟 The Devil Went Down to Georgia (And Then Went Down on Johnny) series -- notbecauseofvictories; Johnny/The Devil, Johnny-centric; I guess a modern take on canon, kinda treated like an original story tbh, but like. you can also just listen to the song beforehand

the author clearly has a deep knowledge and passion for music-- especially country music-- and it rly shines through in this fic. the celebration of music and community and country culture here is just. idk, it's like being invited to the table, somehow, I love it. this whole fic is poetry and it makes me ache

Portal

Blue Sky -- wafflestories; Wheatley/Chell-centric; canon-compliant sequel to the second game, necessary to know the games to understand

I must admit it's been several years since I've read this one, so my memory of it isn't quite as strong. but I remember it being a very loving rehabilitation of Wheatley and Chell's relationship, and I believe it's considered a classic by the ship's fans.

How To Train Your Dragon (movie)

I Hear Him Scream -- Rift-Raft; Toothless & Hiccup-centric; diverges from canon at the point when Hiccup downs Toothless with the net at the beginning of the movie, so watching the movie isn't super necessary, tho I imagine most of us have seen it (as we should!!)

I don't know that I would call this one particularly well-written-- it can get kinda awkward and jarring at points, and the end of the story kinda goes off the rails for me. but the premise and worldbuilding make up for it, imo. but I admit I love xenofiction, so I love seeing the deep lore about dragon culture/society this fic presents

Kekkai Sensen

Fleißiger Junge -- TheLennyBunny; Klaus/Leo, Leo-centric; demon/angel au, not necessary to know KKSS

I really love the demon/angel worldbuilding in this one, with a delicious twist of horror that's so fitting to canon /chef's kiss/. and the way Leo's family is characterized (with several OC characters) is so so fun and charming. good eating for the starving Klaus/Leo fans out there 😭

RWBY

🌟 Teaching Qrow -- ByronNightshade; Qrow-centric; a canon-compliant prequel to the canon story, a bit of knowledge about the setting and Qrow's backstory are kinda necessary

I fucking love what this fic does for Qrow's character, it treats him with way more nuance and understanding than canon ever has (tho tbf, most Qrow fans do, lol). and all the additional OCs and building on the subtle implications of RWBY lore... AUGH it's good

My Hero Academia

Hero Class Civil Warfare -- RogueDruid; genfic with multiple POVs; "what if" scenario divergence from an unspecific point in canon, prolly necessary to at least be familiar with the world/characters to a point

really fun "what if this class exercise got got a bit too intense, haha~" au. it introduces a ton of fun new dynamics between the characters, and lets Izuku shine as a badass, chessmaster "villain"

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

Imaginary Truths -- Mythril; Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk-centric; actor au, not necessary to know ORV

this fic does an excellent job translating the canon relationships/dynamics to this setting, and keeps the core of the story/themes intact in rly interesting ways.

new game (+) -- illusionedwhite; Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk, Yoo Joonghyuk-centric; role-reversal au, and since it starts from the beginning where where canon would have started, I guess it's not technically necessary to read ORV first? but ORV provides more context

this fic is rly careful about the particular way Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk switch roles-- it's very much about their story roles. their core characters/themes remain intact, they're just interpreted through a new lens here. this is for the fans that read ORV and thought, "what if I want to read ORV again, but slightly to the left?"

Genshin Impact

🌟 Begin Anew, O Lost Child -- DarthPeezy; Childe/Zhongli/Guizhong, Childe-centric; a time-travel au that diverges from canon at the battle with Osial in the Liyue chapter, so familiarity up to that point is necessary

there's something about circularity and connection, here. about reaching across expanses of time to connect with those you love, and those you lost. about the horror of fate, and the hope for a future in spite of it. idk, this fic did something to me

we were lovers -- ThirteenSocks; Kazuha/his unnamed friend, Kazuha-centric; "Kazuha loses his vision" au, with a few twists. this fic doesn't really touch canon involving the traveler, but familiarity with Inazuma is necessary, so at least up through that chapter in-game.

what else can I say except this fic is beautiful-- it has the same melodic quality that I associate with Kazuha himself, so it feels perfectly appropriate.

To Be or Not To Be (Human With You) -- lilbittofmatcha; Aether/Scaramouche, Aether-centric; diverges after the end of the whole Sumeru chapter, familiarity up to that point is necessary

I really really love Traveler fics that acknowledge that the Traveler is essentially an otherworldy alien being, and was perhaps even godlike(??) before landing in Teyvat. I especially love Aether's characterization here, and the obvious comparisons to be made with Scara's situation

Sinking Ships in Liyue Harbor -- whereherbonesareburied; Diluc/Kaeya, Diluc-centric; a "what if Kaeya left" divergence from canon sometime after the events of the Mondstadt chapter. it's necessary to be familiar with Kaeya and Diluc's relationship, so reading up on their lore is best, though familiarity up through the Liyue chapter will help with this one

something about the pacing and framing of this fic really charms me. like, Diluc's journey to find Kaeya is kinda framed as a series meetings with several new people, like snapshots from a photo album? it's fun to see so many different, brief impressions of characters through his eyes

Osomatsu-san

Dissociation Disease -- PyrrhicFiend; Karamatsu-centric; technically features multiple AUs, but the core story is show canon. not strictly necessary to be familiar with the show

a fic I never ended up finishing (someday..), but I remember it being incredibly trippy and bizarre in the best of ways. though it may not be the best fic to read dealing with dissociation themself, because it grapples a lot with warped perception and hallucinations

🌟 Frater, Ave Atque Vale -- (orphaned); Karamatsu/Osomatsu, Osomatsu-centric; fantasy AU, not necessary to know the show

this one's perhaps on the razor's edge of not being long enough for this list, but I'm counting it anyways. there's something about 'brief' writing styles that often captures me, like parsing a scene down to its bare essentials makes the tone/emotion land more powerfully. this fic is probably my favorite example of this style

Voltron: VLD

The Rites of Courtship -- calibratingentropy; Keith/Thace, Keith-centric; canon-divergence from the end of s1 ep12, and it's kinda necessary to be familiar at least to that point, though u might be able to skim the wiki

a rarepair I never woulda considered if a friend hadn't recced this fic to me way back, haha. this fic features some of my favorite alien worldbuilding, with a lot of thought and care put into Galran culture and biology, I think about it a lot as a specevo creator myself

The Favored Champion -- sugarapplesweet; Sendak/Shiro, Shiro-centric; canon-divergence before canon, while Shiro is still a coliseum fighter

real fucked-up Stockholm Syndrome abusive relationship, Shiro goes thru the wringer </3. I love the way the relationship with the Lions is depicted here too, the chapter where Shiro basically screams at the Black Lion grips me by the throat. another great example of cool Galra worldbuilding too, not as heavy on the bio side as the last one but fun to see either way!

Tokyo Mew Mew

The Deal -- RizuOnceAgain; Ichigo/Quiche, Ichigo-centric; canon-divergent from an unspecified(?) point in canon, and I um. I've never watched TMM and know very little beyond TMM's basic premise and main characters? so take that as you will

I don't often read fics from things I'm not familiar with, but I trust my friend's recs with my life, and this one did not disappoint. I can't speak on how faithful it is to the original, but Ichigo/Quiche's dynamic here makes me go crazy nutso bonkers!! it has me banging on the walls and chewing furniture, oh my god!! it almost makes me wanna watch the show even tho I know I won't like it nearly as much as this fic 😭.

RATING: General WARNING(S): Sitting in campus prison cell, bail out, sleeping on the couch.

Bucky Barnes wouldn’t say that he is unlucky, but he’s certainly not the luckiest person in the world, it’s exactly what he’s thinking while sitting in the campus jail cell. But he has an (okay) friend who can bail him out, it might just take some dramatics first. | Sam Wilson/James 'Bucky' Barnes, Tony Stark/Stephen Strange

fluffbruary 2023 | bbb 📚 flash | isb 🏥 round 3

Bucky Barnes wouldn’t say that he is unlucky, but he’s certainly not the luckiest person in the world, it’s exactly what he’s thinking while sitting in the campus jail cell. 

“You got pulled over by the cops?” Sam laughs from the other side of the bars, not at all worried about the situation that his boyfriend is currently in.

Bucky sighs rolling his eyes, ���I called you to ask you to bail me out not sit there and make fun of me,” if anybody else saw the pout on Bucky’s face he would deny it, but in front of Sam it’s extremely hard to do. He wasn’t stupid, his bike was registered and he was wearing all the right equipment, he just happened to forget what the speed limit was on campus. 

Sam tilts his head because he knows Bucky’s not going to like the answer, “I thought about it but then I was on the phone with Tony and he offered to pay,” Bucky’s smile lights up but Sam, hadn’t finished talking, “if he gets to come and see you  in jail.”

The way Bucky’s face shifts he should be glad they are inside and the wind won’t change, “you have got to be kidding me,” he says as he kicks the bars of the cell. 

“He’s also bringing Stephen,” Sam adds before Bucky can get even more angry and consider just ripping the cheap bars out. “Great let’s just make it a family affair then! Are you going to call Steve down too so he can yell at me for being irresponsible? Or how about my mother?”

Wincing slightly at the remark Sam realises his grave mistake and pulls out his phone to message everyone, but the door opens and he’s already too late. “Mr Harmony! I hear you need a bailout,” Tony Stark yells walking into the building like he owns the place, which isn’t half bad seeing as his dad’s name is on the plaque outside because Howard expected Tony would wind up here more often than not. 

The joint groan comes from Sam, Bucky and even Stpehen as he watches his boyfriend's large nonsensical behaviour. “I am so sorry, and I’ve already kicked him out to sleep with Rhodey tonight,” Stephen says in an apology and it does make Bucky feel better that Tony has been kicked out so he won’t have to deal with the man after he leaves this cell tonight. 

If Bucky thinks about it, the cell isn’t that horrible it’s not like he’s actually in jail, it’s just campus jail, which he got pulled into by campus police. The cell has a bed, a private bathroom off to the side and two chairs and a table, it’s almost homey. 

“Yes, I am here to bail out one James Buchanan Barnes, on account of speeding, which honestly couldn’t you have just given him a ticket because now I have to sleep on my best friend’s couch rather than my own bed with my extremely hot boyfriend-” the cop that Tony is talking to gets annoyed after the first two words come out of the man's mouth and just stamps Bucky’s card unlock the electronic gate door. 

Bucky happily leaves the cell moving towards Sam and kissing him so he knows that he appreciates the support but oh-my-god I still hate you for bringing Tony here, and Sam understands it. Tony slaps him on the back and smiles, “let’s get you out of here, Mr Harmony, Mr we should be respectful of nature, and the ground of being, and yet got put in campus jail.”

Rolling his eyes he shoves Tony’s hand off his shoulder, “shove off Tony.”

He would never want to ask that again. 

But at least tonight he would have a good night's sleep, he can’t say the same for Tony.

Buying Gold Online in Canada: A Comprehensive Guide

Gold has long been a trusted investment, prized for its stability, value retention, and role as a hedge against inflation. In Canada, buying gold has become more accessible than ever, thanks to the rise of online platforms. However, purchasing gold online requires careful consideration to ensure you are making a secure and informed investment. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about buying gold online in Canada, from selecting a reputable dealer to understanding the various gold products available.

1. The Benefits of Buying Gold Online

Purchasing gold online offers several advantages over traditional in-person transactions:

Convenience: Buying gold online allows you to shop from the comfort of your home, giving you access to a wide range of products at any time. This convenience is especially beneficial for investors who may not live near physical gold dealers.

Wide Selection: Online platforms often provide a broader variety of gold products, from coins and bars to fractional pieces, making it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Competitive Pricing: Online dealers typically have lower overhead costs than brick-and-mortar stores, allowing them to offer more competitive prices. Additionally, you can easily compare prices across multiple platforms to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Discreet Transactions: Online purchases are more private, as your gold is delivered directly to your home or a secure storage facility, reducing the risk of theft during transport.

2. How to Choose a Reputable Online Gold Dealer

The first step in buying gold online is selecting a trustworthy dealer. Here’s what to look for:

Reputation and Reviews: Start by researching the dealer’s reputation. Read customer reviews and testimonials to gauge satisfaction and reliability. Independent review sites can provide additional insights into the dealer’s performance.

Accreditation: Look for dealers who are accredited by industry organizations such as the Royal Canadian Mint, the Better Business Bureau (BBB), or the Canadian Association of Numismatic Dealers (CAND). Accreditation indicates that the dealer adheres to industry standards and practices.

Transparency: A reputable dealer will be transparent about their pricing, including any premiums over the spot price of gold. Ensure that the website clearly displays product details, including weight, purity, and manufacturer.

Secure Payment and Shipping: Security is paramount when purchasing gold online. The dealer should offer secure payment methods and encrypted transactions to protect your financial information. Additionally, make sure the dealer provides insured and trackable shipping options.

Buyback Policy: A good dealer will offer a buyback policy, allowing you to sell your gold back to them if needed. This feature enhances the liquidity of your investment and provides an easy exit strategy.

3. Understanding the Types of Gold Products Available

When buying gold online, you’ll come across various types of products, each with its own characteristics:

Gold Bars: Gold bars are a popular choice for investors looking to acquire larger quantities of gold. They are available in a range of sizes, from small 1-gram bars to large 1-kilogram bars. Gold bars typically have lower premiums compared to coins, making them a cost-effective option for bulk purchases.

Gold Coins: Coins like the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf, American Gold Eagle, and South African Krugerrand are favored by both collectors and investors. Coins often carry a higher premium due to their collectible value and intricate designs. They are also easier to sell in smaller quantities.

Fractional Gold: Fractional gold bars or coins (e.g., 1/10 oz, 1/4 oz) are an affordable entry point for investors with a limited budget. Although the premiums are higher on a per-ounce basis, fractional gold offers flexibility and liquidity.

Gold Rounds: Gold rounds are similar to coins but do not have legal tender status. They are typically less expensive than coins and are a good option for those who want the look and feel of a coin without the added numismatic value.

4. Pricing and Premiums: What to Expect

Understanding how gold is priced is crucial for making informed purchasing decisions:

Spot Price: The spot price of gold fluctuates based on market conditions, including supply and demand, geopolitical events, and economic data. This price is the base value of gold, to which a premium is added.

Premium: The premium is the amount you pay over the spot price, covering the costs of refining, minting, and distributing the gold, as well as the dealer’s profit margin. Premiums vary depending on the product type, with coins generally having higher premiums than bars due to their collectible value.

Comparing Prices: It’s essential to compare prices from different dealers to ensure you’re getting the best deal. Some dealers may offer discounts for bulk purchases, reducing the overall premium per ounce.

5. Payment and Shipping Considerations

Once you’ve selected your gold products, consider the following when completing your purchase:

Payment Methods: Most online gold dealers accept various payment methods, including credit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, and cryptocurrencies. Be aware that different payment methods may have different fees or discounts, so choose the option that best suits your needs.

Shipping: Ensure that the dealer offers insured and trackable shipping to protect your purchase during delivery. Depending on the value of your order, shipping fees may be included or charged separately. Some dealers offer free shipping on larger orders.

Delivery Time: Delivery times can vary depending on the dealer and your location. It’s important to understand the estimated delivery time before purchasing, especially if you need the gold by a specific date.

6. Safeguarding Your Gold Investment

Once you’ve purchased your gold, proper storage is essential to protect your investment:

Home Storage: If you choose to store your gold at home, invest in a high-quality safe that is fireproof and burglar-resistant. Place the safe in a discreet location and consider adding your gold to your home insurance policy.

Bank Safety Deposit Box: Many investors prefer to store their gold in a bank safety deposit box for added security. This option typically comes with an annual rental fee but offers peace of mind knowing your gold is secure.

Third-Party Storage: Some online dealers offer secure storage through third-party vaults. This option provides maximum security and insurance coverage, though it may come with additional fees.

7. Selling Your Gold Online

When the time comes to sell your gold, consider the following:

Market Timing: Monitor the current market price of gold to sell when prices are favorable. Timing your sale can significantly impact your returns.

Buyback Programs: Many online dealers offer buyback programs, making it easy to sell your gold back to them. Be sure to understand the terms and any associated fees.

Private Sales: You can also sell your gold privately through online marketplaces or local buyers. Ensure the transaction is secure and complies with all applicable laws.

Conclusion

Buying gold online in Canada is a convenient and effective way to invest in this valuable asset. By carefully selecting a reputable dealer, understanding the types of gold products available, and considering the logistics of payment, shipping, Shop gold bars online and storage, you can make informed decisions that align with your financial goals.

Top Tips for Choosing the Right Wall Repair Contractor

Finding the right wall repair contractor can feel overwhelming. After all, you're trusting them with the integrity and aesthetics of your home. A skilled contractor can make quick work of those pesky holes, cracks, and water damage, leaving your walls looking flawless. But a bad experience with an unprofessional contractor can lead to a financial headache and even further damage to your home.

Here are some key tips to ensure you choose the perfect wall repair contractor for your project:

1. Assess Your Project Scope

Before diving headfirst into your contractor search, take a moment to clearly define the project's scale. Are you dealing with a small hole from a misplaced picture frame, or a gaping tear caused by a plumbing leak? Knowing the extent of the damage will help you narrow down your contractor search and ensure they specialize in the type of repair you need.

For minor repairs like patching small holes or hairline cracks, a handyman might suffice. However, for extensive water damage, large cracks, or uneven surfaces, a licensed and experienced wall repair contractor is essential.

2. Leverage Your Network

The power of word-of-mouth recommendations shouldn't be underestimated. Reach out to friends, family, neighbors, or even local community forums to see if anyone has recently used a wall repair contractor they were happy with. Positive personal experiences are a strong indicator of a contractor's reliability and quality of work.

3. Online Research and Reviews

The internet provides a wealth of information on local contractors. Look for contractors with websites that showcase their work and outline their services. Many reputable contractors will also have positive reviews on platforms like Google My Business, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

While online reviews can be helpful, be cautious not to solely rely on them. Read through a range of reviews to get a well-rounded picture of the contractor's strengths and weaknesses.

4. Get Multiple Quotes

Once you have a shortlist of potential contractors, reach out to each one for a free consultation and quote. A reputable contractor will readily schedule a time to visit your home, assess the damage, and discuss the repair process in detail.

During the consultation, don't be afraid to ask questions! Inquire about their experience with similar projects, the materials they plan to use, and their estimated timeline for completion.

When comparing quotes, focus not just on the price, but also on the overall value proposition. The cheapest quote might not be the best option in the long run if the contractor uses inferior materials or cuts corners on the process.

5. Verify Licensing and Insurance

A critical step is ensuring the contractor you choose is properly licensed and insured. A valid contractor's license verifies they have met the state's requirements for qualifications and experience.

Liability insurance protects you in case of accidental property damage during the repair process. Worker's compensation insurance ensures the contractor's employees are covered in case of any injuries on the job.

6. Request References and Check Them Thoroughly

Don't hesitate to ask any shortlisted contractor for references from previous clients. Reach out to these references and inquire about their experience with the contractor. Ask about the quality of work, communication, professionalism, and adherence to the agreed-upon timeline and budget.

7. Beware of Red Flags

There are certain warning signs to watch out for when choosing a wall repair contractor. Be wary of contractors who:

Pressure you into making a quick decision or offer an unrealistically low price.

Are unable to provide proof of licensing and insurance.

Request a large upfront deposit before starting the work.

Have negative online reviews or a poor reputation in the community.

8. Finalize the Agreement in Writing

Once you've chosen a contractor, it's crucial to have a written contract in place before any work begins. The contract should clearly outline the scope of work, materials to be used, project timeline, payment schedule, and warranty details. Both you and the contractor should sign a copy of the contract for your records.

9. Clear Communication is Key

Maintain clear communication channels with your chosen wall repair contractor throughout the project. Discuss any concerns or questions promptly. A reputable contractor will be responsive and transparent in their communication.

10. Conduct a Final Inspection

Before finalizing payment, thoroughly inspect the completed work. Ensure everything meets the agreed-upon standards as outlined in the contract. Don't hesitate to ask the contractor to address any minor imperfections before signing off on the project.

By following these tips, you can significantly increase your chances of finding the perfect wall repair contractor for your needs. With a qualified and professional contractor

I’m juggling  19 active/semi-active WIPs with my current  deadline being the  Steve Rogers Bingo which ends on June 15th.  

See  below cut for what I’m working on/planning to work on - arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc.  As always, feel free to send me   prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding  any of these projects  or any other WIPs I’ve got out there.   Interaction really helps feed the Muse and keep me motivated!

Steve Rogers Bingo - Round 3 [SRB_R3] (ends  15 Jun 2024)

Twenty-one  fills, two bingos and no WIPs at the moment  - need to focus on getting my Tumblr posts on Ao3 before this wraps up! 

* B1 - Project Rebirth -   Went with an outsider POV to fill this - Judging A Book By Its Cover is 413 words of Howard Stark’s perspective on the moments before shrimpy!Steve is transformed into Captain America.   Planning to post this on Friday.   

* B2 - Streaking - Posted  Baring His Soul  to Ao3 last week. This Stucky college AU also fills the  Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF252 Spill the tea]  and came in at 634 words.

* C2 - "In order to grow, you must let go of the past" (Sarah Rogers) - Posted  A Time to Lose and a Time to Keep to A03. This pre-war Steve POV ficlet incorporates the  Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF253 Pushing Up Daisies] and came in at 182 words.

* D2 - Alpha Steve - Pulled together a  crossover with  Week 2 of Hot Bucky Summer - combining  “What should I call you?”  +  Master  + Alpha - and my BBB K5 - Voice  square  for   The Business of Pleasure.  Bucky seeks out a professional Alpha Dom and - despite appearances, will be getting exactly what he needs.  It’s coming in at 970 words and, while it will be tagged as a one shot for now, has the potential of being continued. It will post on Friday. 

* E3 - Steampunk -  Squished this square to combine it with  the Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF250 Rushing Train] for An Attractive Concept -  a vaguely steampunk mostly-platonic Stony ficlet where Tony tells Steve about his newest invention.  It came in at 380 words and will get posted to Ao3 before the event is over.  

Hot Bucky Summer 2024 [HBS_R2] (Ends 31 Aug)

More fun from the @buckybarnesevents folks - this time weekly challenges to create a (presumably hot) Bucky-centric fanwork!   I’m starting off a bit behind the eight-ball, as I missed the reblog deadline for the first week.

* Week 1: I combined the following prompts - “Louder, let everyone hear you.” + Noisy Sex +  Exhibitionism  along with my WIB  A/B/O: Knotting and BBB KINK: Shower sex  squares for   Coming Clean - 659 words of PWP featuring WinterIron shower room shenanigans with a surprise appearance by Steve.  This may get a second chapter, if the Muse cooperates. 

* Week 2:  “What should I call you?” + Master + Alpha  see SRB - Alpha Steve above. 

Hawkeyes Bingo [HB_R2] (Ends TBD) 

Working on this  Tumblr event - got a 3x3 card and and am looking forward to creating more  Clint-centric content and trying my hand at a bit of  Kate Bishop fic as well!    

* A3 - Awkward Flirting – this might be a good entry into my first femslash fic with Kate/Yelena?    

Build-A-Bucky Bingo [BaBB_R1] (Ends 1 Sep 2024)

Another fun year-long  event from the folks at  @buckybarnesevents!  Each month there’s a list of prompts and you choose (at least) one  each month for your card!  At seventeen fills and two WIPs with five months to go, I seem to be going a bit overboard …. 😁

* May:  Bucky’s Trigger Words -  combined this with last week’s  Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF251 Out There] for Just To Live One Day Out There - a Winter Soldier self-reflective ficlet. It came in at 312 words and will get posted to Ao3 Real Soon. 

* May:  Praise Kink - planning to fill this with Chapter Six of A Little Bit Carried Away where Alpha!Bucky and omega!Tony get to live out their fantasies.  It’s sitting at 754 words and will get posted later this month.  

*June - Breeding Kink  - Filled this with Chapter Five of  A Little Bit Carried Away  which posted last Friday. Tony and Bucky share their mutual fantasies over Bucky’s home-cooked dinner.   This chapter also filled my WIB  Surprising New Kink square and came in at 1287 words.

* June: Inconvenient Attraction - filling this with Chapters Six  of Love is a Thing That Can Never Go Wrong  which is sitting at  835 words and will get posted later this month. 

WinterIron Bingo Round 2  [WIB_R2] (Ends 16 Dec 2024)

Signups are still open for pre-made cards for Round Two of this super-fun bingo event! I have fifteen  fills and zero WIPs at the moment.  

* Iron Soldier (One Bingo, One Fill) - looking at combining my Column B prompts: Matchmaker, Bucky Riding Tony, Stark Gala, Inside Joke and Threesome.  Still working on a plot - if you have any suggestions/want-to-sees - let me know! 

* I1 - A/B/O: Knotting - Filled this with Coming Clean  - see HBE Week One. 

*I4 - SHIELD HQ - combined this with the Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF245 You Never Cared] and wrote Fathers Don’t Know Best  -  No Power AU with Bucky working as an analyst at SHIELD who stumbles across a late night visitor to the lobby.  It came in at 407 words and will get posted to Ao3 before the event ends.  

* N1 - Hair Pulling Kink -  thanks to a fun prompt from @scottxlogan  - I filled this square with Untangling Their Attraction - where Tony’s offer of assistance leads to mutual kink discovery (not as racy as it might sound).  It’s coming in at 544 words and will post to Ao3 before this event is over. 

* N5 - "I'm here for you."  - Possibly the next chapter of  Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion ?  

* June Adoptable: Surprising New Kink  - filled this with Chapter Five of  A Little Bit Carried Away  - see BaBB Breeding Kink above. 

Bucky Barnes Bingo - Round Six [BBB - R6]  (Ends 31 Mar)

This amazing bingo event is back!   Got my card last week and am still looking over my squares  after getting a couple of them swapped.   I have one fill already, and zero WIPs.  

* K5 - Voice -  Just realized I could squish this into  The Business of Pleasure - see HBE Week Two above.     

* C4 - KINK: Shower sex - filled with  Filled this with Coming Clean  - see HBE Week One. 

* Y5 - Polyamory or open relationship - if I continue  Coming Clean, this would be an obvious square to use. 

Warm and Fluffy   Bingo  [WFB]   (no end date)

Six  fills on my card, courtesy of   @warmandfluffybingocards  - need to try for another crossover or two!

On  other creative fronts:  I am working on  a Buzzie the Vulture as a custom commission,  along with a Count Orlok/Nosferatu for another commission.  

If  you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for birthdays or other celebrations, check  out Stuffed With Character    over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 150!).   These soft stuffed figures are  mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC   and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design   requests  for any fandom!

Alumina Ceramic Laser Cavity Reflector

Ceramic Reflector Innovacera Ceramic laser reflectors are high reflectance cavities used in solid state and CO2 laser systems. It is made by high purity 99% porous alumina ceramic and sintered at high temperatures to achieve a controlled porosity. Our range of custom ceramic reflectors offer significant advantages and improvements over those made with materials such as metal and polymer, it work particularly well in Ruby and Nd: YAG laser pumping chambers and used extensively for long-life laser reflectors. Ceramic reflectors can be glazed both inside the cavity and around the outer edges using a highly reflective glaze that seals the ceramic against ingress of cooling fluids that may alter the refractive index, introduce impurities and reduce reflectance and efficiencies. Glazes can also act as filters and our glazed reflectors have been used successfully in certain applications.

Physical Properties                                                     

• Color: White • Bulk density (fired), Mg/m3: 3.1 • Porosity (apparent), % nominal: 22 • Flexural strength (ASTM C1161, 3-point), MPa: 170 • Thermal expansion coefficient 200-500C, 10-6/C 7.9 200-1000C, 10-6/C 9.0

Prime Features                                                                      • Surfaces can be sealed and coated with a solarization-resistantglaze to give high bulk reflectivity • 97.8% reflectance efficiency at 1000nm • Reflectance efficiency exceeds 96% across the wavelength range 500-2000nm (see curve) • Controlled porosity • Good thermal conductivity • High electrical resistivity Typical Applications • Pumping chambers for flash lamp and continuous wave lasers using media such as Nd: YAG lasers, Alexendrite — low to high power, single or multiple lamp designs used for welding, cutting, marking and in medical lasers. • Layered and segmented pumping chambers for diode pumped lasers. • Intense Pulse Light (IPL) applications for cosmetic surgery. Typical Models Explain • BAB - the external shape is round;
