THINGS I READ

Trio for Blunt Instruments (Nero Wolfe #39) (Rex Stout)

👂 Hollywood Dead (Sandman Slim #10) (Richard Kadrey (author), MacLeod Andrews (narrator)) - oh, jimmy stark. you’re a monster-killing monster dumbass that i love

💜 Taking Stock (A.L. Lester) - i really enjoyed this short-but-sweet (recent) historical about a (possibly disgraced) stockbroker and a farmer who’s recovering from a stroke. short but with good emotional resonance; not depressing but realistic about recovery

👂💜 Supermanny (story by rainbow_nerds; podfic by ransomdrysdale; art by velvetjinx) - 68K, Stucky modern AU - "Steve Rogers was a single dad, perpetually tired and ready to break out of the rut he was living in. Bucky Barnes was a successful small-business owner, living alone with his cat and ignoring the empty space in his life." - great story & great art; the podfic was OUTSTANDING - well read, incredible attention to small sound effects, just a great production that elevated a solid story

Thanksgiving, 1947 (A Nick & Carter Holiday #20) (Frank W. Butterfield)

💜 Do Not Meddle in the Affairs of Grad Students (for They Are Caffeinated and Quick to Nerd Out) (story by theemdash; art by deisderium and softestbuck) - 46K, grad student AU - an absolutely incredible LOTR/Middle Earth-laden endeavor - I adored everythinng in this: characterizations, every single joke/reference/allusion, amazing art, fantastic appendices. I had so much fun reading this!

plus 262K of shorter fic so shorter work shout out  💜💜💜

we freak on the cam (howdoyousleep; PrettierAndYounger) - 21K, Stucky - a delicious camboy/pornstar AU (with a sprinkling of daddy kink) that is 🔥🔥🔥

wild at heart series (spacebuck) - 15K - a shrunkyclunks soulmate AU featuring cheetahs as supporting characters!

Deep Sea Diving and Deep Sea Diving II: Desperate and Devouring  (AidaRonan) - 12K combined - a reread of one of my all-time faves - shrunkyclunks featuring fat thirst trap bucky - i come back to this series at least once every few months. can’t get enough
