Hi, I’m charlottesometimes on AO3 and I have another blog called avatars-and-firelords. You and I have talked briefly on AO3. I just wanted to ask you here, since a general question like this doesn’t necessarily fit on an AO3 chapter, what you like the most about writing fic about Zuko falling apart. You do it so well!

Oh hey!! Thank you, I would never have put your usernames together!

First: that is so kind of you <3

God, this is hard to answer.

Writing the low points is absolutely cathartic. I think sometimes you just really need a character's physical or mental state to mirror what you're feeling emotionally. It makes you feel seen, even if you're, you know, the writer. I think that sharp sadness we feel when we read hurt/comfort is the sharpness of that story striking against the part of ourselves that feels that way. Even if we've never experienced anything like it.

And then the craft of it is something I enjoy. Figuring out the arc, where his low point will be, and then thinking through how the story turns, the little lines and observations that knit it together and take you to that space where it all hurts... And it's nice to surprise yourself with the resolution.

When I start I basically never know how Zuko is going to get out of it, so it's like a puzzle I have to work through. Ex, when I got the idea for the end of "I live in a cage" I was *so* excited, hands clapping, squeeeee. (No spoilers but: squeeeeeee)

Thank you for asking! I always love these <3

Il y a des lundis soirs de novembre froids & pluvieux qui tournent bien. Quand Thomas m’appelle à la nuit tombée pour me proposer une place pour The Cure, comme ça, là, au débotté. Par exemple. Et on se retrouve lui & moi en fringants quarantenaires (et non quinqua comme ironisait mon frangin, rageux) frétillants dans la fosse comme des poissons dans l’eau, bienheureux. Ça faisait si longtemps que j’avais pas cassé ma voix (& les oreilles d’un voisin étrangement impavide)… La voix de Bob, elle, ne change pas & permet le voyage dans le temps (pourvu qu’on ferme les yeux…). Parce qu’il y en a eu des concerts de The Cure dans ma vie… Mais aussi quelques tables de lycée gravées avec cette écriture "Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me", entretenant ainsi une correspondance mystico-absurde avec un fan d’une autre classe… Et le générique des "Enfants du rock”, avec ces paires d’yeux rockeux “Just Like Heaven" comme le T-shirt de Sionann (jalousie). Et ces manifs où je suivais les mecs avec la tête de Chabat dans "Prête-moi ta main" (objectivement très ressemblants)… Et l’affiche de "Boys don’t cry" qui m’a accompagnée jusqu’au prochain déménagement… Gamine, j’avais demandé à mon père ce que voulait dire "boys don’t cry" : "garçons ne pleurez pas" ? Moué, presque. Voilà en tout cas une chanson qui vieillit bien & je me faisais d’ailleurs la réflexion que Robert était en fait très fleur bleue (quand il ne parle pas d’araignée)… Cute Cure. Et puis Thomas & moi nous espérions "Charlotte sometimes"… Moi pour faire une spéciale dédicace à l’amie Françoise, la "Charlotte" de son amoureux curiste : j’ai filmé vite vite un petit bout (parce que c’est chiant de se retrouver "lost in a forest" of phones) : this one is for you, Françoise. Et pour Thomas. Et pour moi. Et pour nous. Avec ce petit goût vintage de y a longtemps. "The people seemed so close So many other names Sometimes I'm dreaming Where all the other people dance Sometimes I'm dreaming Charlotte sometimes" #bluemonday #whenwewereyoung #closetous #boysdontycry #thecure #charlottesometimes #lesenfantsdurock https://www.instagram.com/p/ClmleF4tEyj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

She felt as if she was suspended between these times, the past, this present, that future of her own, belonging to all and none of them.

A beautiful 60s Puffin cover for this classic children’s book, the inspiration for the song of the same name by The Cure.

Hi! Looking for a fic where Bucky was a college student with a drinking problem who kept hosting parties in Steve’s backyard, thinking it was empty. Steve is in a wheelchair and never leaves his house/doesn’t have any friends. They eventually become friends, and Steve tries to help bucky with his drug addiction but they fight and Bucky runs away. Natasha and Steve rescue him and Steve tells him that he’s in a wheelchair because he crashed his motorcycle trying to commit suicide. Anybody know it?

This one?

Backyard Pool by charlottesometimes (complete | 59,662 | T)

Steve is disabled, and lives as a shut-in by choice. As long as he's in his perfectly handicapped-accessible house, he doesn't need any kind of help from anybody.

Bucky is a college kid with a past he doesn't like to remember, and he's the life of just about any party: Comes early and stays late. Going to class, though? There's really not time for that.

When Bucky realizes that the lushly landscaped, heated backyard pool abutting his college university's campus is never used, and seems to be attached to an empty house, he starts throwing parties there.

But … it's Steve's pool. And Steve catches them at it from the beginning.

He doesn't say anything. He doesn't mind. Watching their antics through a crack in the curtains is the most human contact Steve might ever be likely to have.
