New SarahBucky Songbook: PostModern Jukebox, WWII

New fic for the new year. I haven't written SarahBucky in a minute. I'm glad to be back to my old fave.

SarahBucky Postmodern Jukebox: WWII

Summary: The year is 1942, alternatively speaking. In this World a War is spinning across the globe. Nurse Sarah Wilson is trying to do her job in a small farming community in the NorthWestern part of France. It all goes to hell when a handsome pilot crash lands into a ditch. He brings a spark of mystery, lighting up Nurse Wilson’s quiet life, upending everything. Who is he? Can be be trusted?

Featuring alternative timeline versions of Sarah Wilson and James Bucky Barnes, in a bucolic French setting. Plenty of locals. Pining. Angst. Incredibly hot sex. And alcoholic cider drank from little bowls.

12 Chapters (already written, so I won't forget the ending, this time).

Word count (Ch 1): 1.5K words

Tags: Sarahbucky, Angst with a Happy Ending, Hurt/Comfort, AU-WWII

BEST PART? I commissioned @tllgrrl to do me a moodboard/art collage and it is just spectacular. LOOK AT IT!

@tllgrrl it’s hard to spot the lines in that video, especially at timelapse speed, but I actually press my sketches into the clay before carving. the flowers were freehand, but not the unicorn or fence. I find if I don’t sketch first, the pieces don’t turn out quite as nice

here’s an example of me pressing a sketch into a piece before carving

[tllgrrl]

I wasn’t able to put something together for Valentine’s Day 💝

so im working on like 3 things at the same time because that always ends well? and theyre all currently in completely disjointed half-written snippets state, lol. here are 2 short bits from the most unserious one, aka the princess bride-inspired au i once told zainab about and then almost forgot completely until a week ago.

“Gus, I think I just communicated with a dead girl!”

I’m not dead!

“Aaah!” Shawn’s responding exclamation occurs at a much higher pitch than is objectively dignified. “What? No! What? Who – you!”

“Who?” asks Gus, wide-eyed.

“Jules?!” Shawn says, unsure to whom the question is directed. He looks wildly around, then up at the sky, then finally back down to the peaceful, round cheeked face smushed into the grass between them. Gingerly, he leans over and nudges her head to face the tree canopy instead.

Took you long enough to notice, says Juliet’s grumpy, disembodied voice. That was not a comfortable position, you two. So much for your druid lineage.

Shawn, staring googly-eyed at her motionless body, feels the bottom half of his jaw slowly drop open and hang on its hinge like a squeaky see-saw. 

“What are we staring at?” Gus whispers, from right behind his ear. Shawn is too catatonic with shock to startle.

“Gus … she’s talking to me.”

“Juliet?!”

Yes! says Juliet’s bright voice emphatically in Shawn’s head.

“Yes!” squeaks Shawn in a very manly fashion. “Oh my God. Oh my God. Ooooh my God. Gus! I’m not – I’m not actually a psychic. I don’t talk to spirits! I barely believe in spirits. Until five seconds ago the top job on my resume was a court jester position I never actually held!” He takes a big long deep breath and feels slightly dizzy. “Why can I hear her?”

“I don’t know!” say Gus and Juliet at the same time, in markedly different tones and registers. For one thing, Shawn can hear Gus using his eardrums. Juliet’s voice just echoes in his skull like a little wind chime. Shawn swoons, very mildly. Gus catches him.

“Where would I be without you, Gus,” Shawn mumbles, into his best friend’s tunic lapel.

**

and excerpt two ...

“Well,” announces Woody the Miracle Man. “Lucky for you two, the little lady is not, in fact, deceased.”

“You mean we haven’t just been carting a dead body around for two days like idiots?” Gus asks desperately.

“Huh. That’d explain why she still smells like peaches.” Shawn looks down at Juliet’s serene, not-dead face. Her long eyelashes fan out against her cheeks and her golden hair flutters and twirls around her face in the faint breeze from the open window. He absolutely does not sigh in an involuntary and relieved and heart-fluttery fashion.

It’s the oil I use for my scalp, Juliet chimes in helpfully.

“Shawn, focus,” says Gus. “If she’s not dead, what’s wrong with her?”

“Well,” says Woody. “That’s the thing. She’s not completely dead. She is a little bit mostly as much as one can be without dying dead. Isn’t that so fun? I love medicine.”

“Mostly dead?” Shawn asks incredulously. 

“On a percentage scale,” Gus starts, “whereabouts would you put her, exactly?”

Shawn hits him. 

“Oh, a hefty seventy-four. And a half, I’d say.”

Huh. Huh.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks for the tags @fieldsofview & @seek--rest 🦦

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

35

2. What's your total ao3 word count?

582,965

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently Spider-Man and The Bear.

4. Top five fics by kudos:

across the hall

spotlights and moonlight

106 miles

reset

maroon

5. Do you respond to comments?

Every single one! Might take me a while to get round to it, but I’ll always try my best to give a thoughtful response.

6. What is the fic your wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hard to say, I’m not good at drawing a line between ‘angsty’, ‘hopeful’, ‘happy’ etc endings. Everything is a little bit of all. But perhaps timeless.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Again, difficult. But maybe The Balcony.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

on my way you will always be famous! The only fic I’ve had active hate on. I’ve received no less than eight anon messages telling me how much they hated it since the day I posted it back in December—the most recent one being sent just last week! Or how much it ‘didn’t work’ for them for a number of reasons that just go to show me that they didn’t actually dedicate the time to properly read the fic. I’d like to think that they’re all from the same miserable person, but alas, I know that they aren’t. It’s still one of my favourite things I’ve ever written though, y’all can’t make me hate it! ✌🏾

9. Do you write smut?

I do!

10. Craziest crossover:

I haven’t done one yet but I’d like to! I had ideas for one swimming around a few months back, but haven’t made any real headway on it. Never say never though!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not yet!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Currently writing my first collab—spotlights and moonlight with @seek--rest—and I’m loving it! Definitely want to do more collabs in the future.

14. All time favorite ship?

PeterMJ

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

If it’s still up, I have plans to finish it!

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I’m good at making characters feel like real people, and I think I’m descriptive of details in a way that matters—in a way that makes the world of the story more vibrant and lived in.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I have absolutely no control over my wordcounts!!!!!!! 😡

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Why not!

19. First fandom you wrote in?

Marvel.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

on my way, or anything from my cycles series.

Grimes 68 by @tllgrrl aka nefertiri jones

Summary: After almost 8 years apart, Michonne finds Rick Grimes, the love of her life and father of their children, and he brings her into the Civic Republic Military. For the time being: 1) She has to pretend to be someone else to avoid being seen as a threat; 2) He has to figure out a plan for the two of them to get out; and 3) They have to try and act like they’re strangers to each other instead of reunited lovers.

(The key word is “try”.)

* * * * *

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

The steel kill sticks striking against the brick wall rang in the parking lot of what was left of a post office.

A former postal service semi that now had protective grills over the windows led the next herd of the dead, or what the CRM called “deltas”— “delts” for short—into the large space on the one side of the harvest wall.

The shuffling hoard was drawn by the noise and flashing lights mounted on the truck.

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

The consignees readied themselves on the other side, and as the delts shambled to open spaces in the wall, each one was met with a blow that drove a sharp, prong-ended spear (“kill stick”) into its skull, followed by a twist of the wrist that destroyed its brain, effectively and finally killing it.

It was a repetitive, bloody, mind-numbing grind, and some said that it was brutal for the workers because it wasn’t easy to completely forget that the delts were once living human beings too.

Grimes had done his time at The Wall. He’d even become a legend with the number of kills he could rack up in a shift.

It was painted in big letters on the side of a nearby building, for all to see:

GRIMES 68.

He was also well-known for the number of attempts he’d made to do something no one else in the City wanted to do: Escape. Wanting to leave the safety and security of the CR so badly that he actually cut off his own shackled hand at the wrist, only to fail again and be brought back to the Wall.

Time and time again an officer in the Civic Republic Military gave him a chance to join up, and he refused each offer, preferring to be at the culling facility, killing the dead and planning his next escape attempt.

Then one day, he accepted the offer. He traded his Consignee jacket for a CRM uniform. Instead of using a kill stick, he got a fancy, deadly prosthetic hand with a retractable blade. He got all kinds of specialized training, all the perks as he rose through the ranks, and he never had to cull delts again.

But now, after having been gone for years, there he was. Back at the Wall. Watching.

Watching her.

The new consignee.

The dark-skinned Black woman with her hair cut short on one side of her head, exposing a beautiful profile; and locs cascading down just past her shoulder in the back and on the other side of her face .

The woman who, after her on-boarding interview, was designated a Type “B”, seeking safety, willing to work, and keeping to herself, but had the carriage and demeanour of an “A” who was always observing, was more than capable of defending herself, and being a provider of safety. A leader.

Word soon got around among the Consignees that the ex-consignee/now military officer known as “the famous Rick Grimes” had not only survived a chopper crash, but he’d started showing up at the harvest wall. Coming back to a place he’d gotten away from years earlier, only to return when a mysterious new consignee was brought into the CRM.

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

“Hey. Look who just pulled up,” said a consignee who had her red hair tied back with, of all things, a bright pink ribbon that was tied in a bow.

“Holy shit! ‘zat Grimes?” another consignee added, tying a bandana on his head, cholo style, then slipping on his face shield. “He doesn’t have to be here any more. What’s up with that?”

“Bethune’s not-so-secret admirer,” snickered the worker to pink bow’s left, stabbing his kill stick into a delt that sagged and dropped. “She doesn’t see him yet. But she knows he’s there. Watch. In 3..2..1.”

Michonne—known to the other consignees as “Dana Bethune” —stationed at the far end of the wall, continued to methodically dispatch delts.

Then she stopped, looked over her shoulder, and found the tall CRM officer. Standing there, at ease, even with his helmet and face guard on, she knew he was watching her.

It seemed like they stood there, the only people at the wall. 5…10…15 minutes. Watching each other. Breathing the same air. At last…

3 seconds later, she turned her head back to the oncoming delts, and went back to work.

Behind her mask, the other consignees couldn’t see the small smile that graced her lips, or hear her whisper “I found you.”

Behind his mask, no one could see the CRM officer smile as he whispered “You found me.”

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

“You see that?” drawled the consignee to pink bow’s right, continuing to spear oncoming delts. “Somethin’s up with those two.”

“I know, right? For the past two weeks, he’s here. Same time every day she’s on shift, just before third break. Look at him lookin’. Even wearin’ the consignee jacket, the mask, an’ her hair all tucked in, it only takes him a second to find her. And a second for her to know he’s here. Like they’re—”

“Might could be that ass is imprinted on his brain!” laughed a big man nearby with a bushy black beard.

“Maybe it’s because she saved his life out there.”

“Peterson said somethin’ about that. It’s true?”

“‘parently so. His chopper went down. Got blown right outta the sky and crashed.”

“You serious?!”

“Word is it was a scrub with some kinda RPG an’ shit,” a consignee added to the story while wiping a splatter of brains and blood off of his face guard.

“Stop lyin’! How’d they even get that? After the Fall, CRM took over most of the bases out there with a quickness.”

“There was military stuff out in the wild even before everything went to shit. All kinds o’ stuff is still out there,” bushy beard opined. “Shouldn’t be a surprise all these years later somebody has a bazooka or some ordinance hidden away. There’s jeeps, even tanks here and there. I lived in one for a couple o’ months before I got found and brought here. CRM scoops ‘em up quick as they can, but—”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever. So anyway, the scuttlebut’s that Sargent Major Loverboy there, an’ the other troopers jumped out of the wrecked chopper an’ the scrub starts firein’ on ‘em. The ones he could catch, he slit their throats…with a sword.”

“A what?” bandana scoffed, stabbing into what was left of the next delt’s face. “Get outta here with that BS, man!”

“I’m just tellin’ you what I heard! Grimes was about ta get got, when Bethune comes runnin’ outta the woods, grabs one of the dead trooper’s weapons and shoots the scrub!”

“Wow. Maybe that’s why he’s here all the time,” pink bow chuckled. “Hell, I’d be in love with her too.”

“Get in line,” beard snarked. “You really think those two know each other?”

“Know each other?” the woman laughed, stabbed a delt and shook its eyeball off of her kill stick. “I think they’re fuckin’.”

“No way!” bandana exclaimed. “She just got here!”

<<<Good work, Section 5 and 6 Consignees. Bethune and Clifton, please report to post-shift health check before boarding transport.>>>

“Think about it,” pink bow explained. “Grimes is an officer on the inside now and doesn’t need to be at the Harvest Wall any more. Who’d come back to this shit after their 6 years of consignment is up? Now, all of a sudden, he’s back. Out here almost every day. Why?”

She tipped her head toward the driveway and they watched Grimes remove his helmet and turn completely around to watch “why” aka “Dana Bethune” walk past, avoiding his eyes.

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

“Oh, yeah…” pink bow grinned. “They’re fuckin’.”

* * * * *

#ICYMI #throwback tuesday

Bucky, Cass, and the King of Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras has come and gone. @tllgrrl and I put our endless headcanons together to answer a few questions:

What if Sam was King of Mardi Gras?

What if Sarah wore feathers?

What if Bucky was...just Bucky?

What if Cass decided to go full court pre-teen in the midst of all that?

Here's our answer. Working with someone was such a juicy challenge. So proud of us.

Summary: The Wilson Family goes to the Mardi Gras parade. Hijinks ensue.

Words: 5k words, 2 chapters

Tags: Bucky Barnes and Cass Wilson, Mardi Gras parades, Sam is King of Mardi Gras, Sarah wears feathers, Bucky tries to be a good dad, Cass is just a preteen...no violence, no warnings, just family fluff

Song:

“It is an honor, to be sure,” Sam said, not hiding his pride as Cass and AJ pestered him with questions.

“And what do ya get to do? As King of Mardi Gras?” asked AJ.

“Behead people?” offered Cass.

“Get drunk more like,” Sarah quipped. She was at the table behind them as they finished the dishes from dinner.

“Jealous much?” Sam responded. “I’m a symbol of the spirit of Mardi Gras. Which most definitely is not limited to drunk and disorderly conduct.”

“Includes but is not limited to drunk and disorderly conduct. That’s what the Chamber of Commerce wants you to think,” Sarah offered with a wink. Sam gave an agreeable smile.

“Besides, with all a’y’all on the float with me, won’t be neither drunk nor disorderly going on.”

Cass sagged, disappointed. Sarah saw it happen, but didn’t comment. Her eldest boy had been in a mood for the last week. He and Bucky had been arguing about something or the other. But that was between them, she told herself. Not that Bucky seemed eager to address the tension. He was on the porch with Torres and Misty, going over the security plans for the big parade.

Leaving Sam to wow his nephews, Sarah stood in the doorway and listened in as the parade organization team reviewed the map spread on a low table.

“Go over it again, Torres. One more time,” said Bucky.

“Sargent Barnes, I really think it is fine,” replied Torres.

“It is a parade, Barnes, not the storming of Madripoor,” said Misty.

Sarah could hear Bucky exhale in that way he had when everyone around him was being, in his considered opinion, reckless. He didn’t look up from the map, just stabbed his metal finger at a location.

“Step off is here, ten hundred hours. Then what?”

Can't say I have.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but @pinkomcranger and I throw so many different ideas and story inspirations around, I think we might as well have by this point. Haha

14. All time favourite ship?

Saga Anderson/Alex Casey

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a Resonance of Fate story that I've been editing on and off for over ten years now. I keep wanting to post it, but then I fail to do so because I feel I need to rework something.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I feel that my strengths lie in setting a mood and showing silently exploring relationships between characters. My stories don't normally have a ton of dialogue because I love showing relationships through actions more than words.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I'm not that good when it comes to writing deep plots. Most of my stories are basically drabbles, with the occasional character focused multi-chapter fic.

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I love it, especially when it's a foreign character slipping into their native tongue when speaking.

19. First fandom you wrote in?

Christopher Paolini's Eragon back in 2008.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Wide Awake is definitely one of my favorite stories. It was my first time writing Saga Anderson and Alex Casey as a romantic pair instead of platonic and I'm really proud of how it came out. I adore writing these two characters.

I'll tag @tllgrrl. Her work is fantastic! (if you've been tagged already, sorry for the spam!)❤️
