I want to make sure we're all on the same page, we all agree that adult tom riddle would have absolutely committed an act of cannibalism (I am definitely not thinking about specific other media right now)

2 Series. 35 Works.
bakugou katsuki becomes a power bottom by writedeku ( E | 3,496 | 1/1 )
It is hard to describe what Izuku is doing to him, the extent of which he’s being — it suddenly occurs to Katsuki when he belatedly realises his nose is buried into his crotch — he’s being used. Him! Bakugou Katsuki, on the track to becoming the best hero in Japan, is being used. He pulls off to catch his breath, tears brimming in his eyes, his throat hoarse —
[Mildly Dubious Consent]
how much do i love you? by writedeku ( G | 1,994 | 1/1 )
“Get up, sleepyhead,” Izuku tries to roll out of bed to brush his teeth, but is suddenly stopped by the tightening of Katsuki’s arms. “Hey, you. We gotta go.”
Katsuki’s reply is a press of his face into his back and a kiss on the bare skin. It makes Izuku shiver. “No,” he pulls him back into the bed and wraps even his legs around him. “Stay.”
Utopia by Kanae_vR ( T | 2,079 | 1/1 )
In which Izuku worries that his and Katsuki’s relationship has become too domestic, and Katsuki proves him right. Not that either of them are complaining.
flipping the switch by bishounen_curious ( E | 2,510 | 1/1 )
Bakugou likes it when Deku gets angry.
[Series] Where did you go to end up right back here? by sensiblysilly ( G&M | 15,481 | 2 Works | Complete )
Main story with an optional alternative ending.
Passively Aggressive (or Aggressively Passive) by kagome_angel ( E | 4,991 | 1/1 )
None of it matters, none of it, except for the softly-murmured “Kacchan,” against Bakugou’s jaw and the way that that stupid nickname, spoken like that, Izuku’s voice rough with sleep, raises goosebumps all along Bakugou’s skin.
you’re prettier with your mouth shut by capncapnk ( E | 3,614 | 1/1 )
He hates how sensitive he is, how he arches up into the touch, how nice it is for Deku to keep running his mouth with whatever sappy, syrupy bullshit comes to his mind, even if he’d rather die than admit he likes this vanilla shit Deku has to offer.
In which Deku has a thing for Bakugou’s hands and Bakugou has a thing for nice words
let me see your red face by phix27 ( E | 3,451 | 1/1 )
It was a well-known fact to almost everyone who met him that Izuku was easily embarrassed. Whether it was from something he said that might be taken the wrong way, an action that he didn’t mean to make, or even something embarrassing that he saw on TV, everyone knew what would happen next. A red face and some stuttering were practically Izuku’s constant state of being, so everyone recognized it.
And Bakugo loved it.
Eyes, Blindfold by errant_rivalry ( E | 5,028 | 1/1 )
Pro Hero Deku is struck by a quirk while on duty and is without his sight for the following 24 hours. His fiancé takes care of him and then takes advantage of the situation.

Deku loves leg day, and so does Katsuki- just in a different way.
Or, two gross boys bond over Deku’s ass.

De-Aged?! by anontigg ( T | 4,938 | 1/1 )
Izuku was enjoying his day off when a de-aging quirk hits his boyfriend, now his boyfriend is a 5 years old and somehow many secrets are revealed as he waits for his Kacchan to turn back into normal…
Let Me Know I’m Yours by osakakitty ( E | 1,335 | 1/1 )
They haven’t had sex in three weeks, and Midoriya is tired of waiting.
[Commissioned work for kap91]
For Izuku it was a Tuesday by Fluffy (JediMasterFluff) ( T | 2,731 | 1/1 )
They have become a perfect team. No words are needed to convey thoughts between the two. It’s like they both acquired a second telepathic quirk once they started dating.
Izuku didn’t actually know how they pulled it off but he didn’t care. They worked well together, on and off the battlefield.
SeriesPart 1 of KatsuDeku Week 2017
No More Lonely Nights by SecretKiwi ( E | 2,803 | 1/1 )

Act Your Age by Pop_Rocks (v_love) ( E | 4,024 | 1/1 )
“I can’t believe you would ask to come with me and then throw a fit the entire time, how old are you? Five? You’re lucky you didn’t break anything or I would’ve had to pay for it. You’re so irresponsible.”
“Stop lecturing me!”
“Then stop giving me a reason to! Kacchan, I don’t understand this. I don’t understand why you feel the need to act this way.”
“You took forever!”
“And this is why I do things like this alone because you’re unhelpful and a brat.”
————
In which Bakugou throws a fit in the grocery store.
SeriesPart 5 of Kacchan and Deku’s Shenanigans
Chapter 1 & Chapter 7 of I Get to Love You by Funky Hanji (Temari) ( T | 1,712 | 2 out of 8 )
A number of short fills written for the different bkdk weeks/events/requests. :D
- He just wants to slide in beside Izuku, throw his protesting arms around the other’s waist to pull him closer, and bury his nose into wild green curls. -
- Izuku is used to hospitals […] Usually he’s the one sitting in a bed and receiving visits, though. -
i carry you in my heart by dumbdaisies ( T | 1,102 | 1/1 )
In the aftermath of a battle, Katsuki and Izuku tend to one another through the grief and guilt that come with the job.
Green-Eyed Beast by SecretKiwi ( E | 4,721 | 1/1 )
Everyone wants a piece of Katsuki Bakugou, but they should beware of the Green-eyed beast always lurking close behind him.
Grounded by tiprine ( T | 2,036 | 1/1 )
Ground Zero had garnered something of a reputation throwing himself headfirst into fights, though this time, he did so knowing all that he was doing was biding time until the other heroes arrived. Had Deku not gotten there when he did, it very well may have been his last battle.
Spring Has Come by crescendoh ( G | 3,010 | 1/1 )
Izuku felt serene. He had been sitting outside in the local park with a half-asleep Kazumi leaning against him. His relationship with her felt like a dream. After all, despite a tricky beginning, everything he had wished for came delivered to him on a silver plate. There would be nothing taking that happiness away from him anymore. Izuku had challenged fate more than once already and he was determined to keep fighting for the sake of his relationship.
“I love you Kacchan,” he whispered.
“Love you too,” she said, slowly opening her eyes. “By the way, I’m pregnant.”
Rumours said Pro Hero Deku was spotted vanishing into thin air in the park.
Alternatively known as “Very supportive husband”
SeriesPart 6 of Female Bakugou AU
Can’t Imagine Me Without You by ARC_Fangirl_0w0v ( T | 1,807 | 1/1 )
After witnesses a colleague laying in a critical state, Midoriya can’t help but worry about what would happen if it were Bakugou. If Bakugou left him far too early in their lives. The answer would be to move on, right? But to go on without the one you love…
During Midoriya’s endless worries, Bakugou shares his feelings about if that actually were to happen: “If I die and you’re already in some other person’s pants by the end of that same fucking day, I would come back to life just to beat your shitty ass.”
The Domestic Life Of Married Heroes by The_Crafty_Cracker ( M | 2,642+ | 2/? )
Izuku smiles at the messages, he adores and loves his friends so very much, of course, he’ll go and help them out-wait!
This was the week that he and Kacchan had specifically placed a holiday in for at their agencies so that they could go out on a few dates and spend some time together without interruption.
But right now his friends need him…
Kacchan would understand, right?
Right?
I Will Love You Forever More by Fluffy (JediMasterFluff) ( T | 2,422 | 1/1 )
“It doesn’t seem physically possible that it’s only been five years since I pulled my own head out of my ass to see such a ravishing creature was standing in front of me.”–A lot has changed for Katsuki but the biggest is the addition of a green haired nerd and Katsuki couldn’t be more grateful for it.
KatsuDeku Week 2017 - [Affection/Dates]
SeriesPart 3 of KatsuDeku Week 2017
More Important by paigetaylor ( G | 2,568 | 1/1 )
This was it;on the other side of that door is the most important person in my life. Katsuki thought to himself as he ran his hands along the sides of his slacks.
This moment was more important to him than when he got into UA, more important than when he graduated, and even more important than the day he was announced the #2 Hero.
One way or another to spend Valentine’s Day by SoraeMina ( E | 5,080 | 1/1 )
It’s Valentine’s Day and Izuku can’t wait to spend it with his boyfriend Katsuki. Unfortunately work calls and as a hero, he’s not in the position to object. Furthermore, Katsuki doesn’t seem to be as interested in spending Valentine’s Day together as Izuku hoped he would be. At least that’s what he thinks, until Katsuki proves him wrong.
Don’t Keep Your Hands to Yourself by Takkaori ( M | 5,060 | 1/1 )
When Katsuki expresses his desire to be spanked, Izuku just can’t believe it. Because it’s not like Kacchan… Is it? Of course, awkward conversation ensues.
It’s Like Copper by Pop_Rocks (v_love) ( T | 2,040 | 1/1 )
Blood has a funny taste, very few people put their tongue to the red with the thought or desire of tasting it. Maybe it occurs through sucking gently on a paper cut on their finger, or the gentle sting of a cut inside their mouth. Yet there is that familiar taste all know, like you just picked up a coin and tossed it in your mouth. Everyone describes it the same: it tastes like copper. Metallic.

In which Bakugou has a nightmare.

here comes the night (this is the way i’ll remember you) by WatanabeMaya ( G | 1,538 | 1/1 )
“Welcome back, Kacchan,” Midoriya greets, trusting. He doesn’t need to open his eyes to know it’s Bakugou. He recognizes the sound of those footsteps more than anything else.
(Midoriya knows Bakugou well, or at least well enough considering the years they have had between them. Still, however, he is learning.)

Love Me Like You Do
Pairing: Bucky x Reader
Warnings: floofs, swearing, allusions to violence.
Summary: Bucky Barnes is the bar manager where you work as a bar maid. You’ve had a decent crush on him since he started working there. It’s karaoke night and the bar is almost empty. What could happen?
 A/N: This is for caplansteverogers’ song fic challenge! Enjoy!!!
Tumblr media
Arms groaning in protest, you shove the tray of dirty glassware into the sterilizer, hauling the door shut and collapsing against it. Your lower back was throbbing and the heat from the sterilizer was a small relief you could afford to take this late into the night.
Nearly all the bar’s patrons had left and you’d been doing final clean up for an hour now. Closing time was always your favourite shift as there were less people in the bar, the other girls had gone home, leaving just you and the bar manager to close so you could relax a bit. You both needed it tonight.
He’d come to work at Jack’s nearly a month ago and you quickly realised work was not going to get any easier while your manager was around. The first week was quiet enough, not many people seemed to realise who he was as he was always wearing that tight fitted, long sleeved, black, cotton shirt that clung to his muscles so beautifully. It had covered his metal arm almost completely and he was so buff that he never seemed lopsided. Except when he walked he had a slight swagger, landing heavier on his left foot than his right but that just made him seem more relaxed and approachable. The man bun helped too. He always tied his hair back for work, like the girls, tucking the few rebellious strands that escaped behind his ear.
But, soon enough, word had gotten out that THE Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier himself, was managing the bar at Jack’s Tavern. Then the crowds of gawkers started coming in. It was good for business, sure, but you had seen the flickers of discomfort behind his carefully guarded expression. He always seemed so composed and calm when dealing with the rabble but they had really started to annoy you by the third week.
The girls were always fawning over him, trying to flirt or get a look at his arm. You could see it really bothered him even though he politely declined each advance. The guys were even worse, if that was even possible. They either stared at him with awe and asked where they could get his “mad skills” and “sick arm”, or they glared at him with such venom and hissed such horrible words that it took all your self-control not to knock them on their ignorant asses. More than once, you’d seen the latter type trying to get a rise out of him or force a fight. And more than once, you’d had to throw out full grown men who were acting like toddlers. It was those times that you and the other girls at the bar had seen Bucky slip off into the kitchen or sterilizer room. No one dared follow him but you’d all occasionally pop a head around the door as you walked by.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight had been a particularly rough night. Ten men had surrounded Bucky in the garden bar and, before any of you knew what was happening, there were sirens everywhere. You knew now that Bucky had punched the silent alarm that summoned the police but, at the time, you were terrified that someone had been hurt badly. A few of the men were bruised but that was exactly what they had deserved. Bucky had locked them in the garden bar and, before you or any of the other girls could blink, he’d disappeared into the manager’s office. You had been desperate to follow him but you had to follow protocol, talk to the police and calm the other customers. Bucky had allowed the responding officers into the room with him to make a statement but, when they had left, he had locked the door behind them. You didn’t see him for another three hours.
When he finally came out, everyone in the bar had fallen silent.
He was covered in bruises and scratches. His eyes were blackened, there had obviously been blood coming from his nose at some point, his bottom lip was split and there were vivid finger marks on his throat. The sleeve covering his left arm had been torn off and the collar was ripped. None of that compared to the look in his eyes though. You had seen him upset and mildly frustrated but, this was the worst thing you’d ever seen. His usually striking blue eyes were dull and downcast. His whole body was slumped over a little. Your heart broke for him but the other girls were already swarming over. He shooed them away and shuffled back to his spot behind the bar, not making eye contact with anyone. Your chest had ached to comfort him but you thought that what he’d want right at that moment was normality so you carried on working.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blinking heavily, you shook your head to clear it. The heat had been putting you to sleep while you were lost in thought. Pushing off the sterilizer, you limped across the room. You could hear the distinct yodelling of Big Joe, just finishing his awful rendition of Hit Me With Your Best Shot on the karaoke machine as you shoved the door to the sterilizer room open.
The bar was nearly empty. Big Joe and his mates were waiting to clear up their tab as you jogged up to the register.
“Split it 5 ways, could ya sweetheart?”
Joe winked as you plastered on your warmest ‘barmaid’ smile, and nodded, pulling your tattered cardigan tighter around yourself as you swiped his tab card through.
“Hell’ova night huh?” Joe shook his head, “I hope those rowdies get some serious time! Treating Mister Barnes like that… I tell you, if they were my sons, I would have smacked ‘em hearty for it!”
You handed over Joe’s receipt and genuinely smiled as you started putting through the other guys’ cards.
“If they were your sons, Joe, they never would have thought about it.” Came a soft voice from just behind you.
The guys all smiled and patted Joe on the back as they gathered their things and called out their farewells over their shoulders, the door swinging shut behind them. Bucky still has a soft smile playing around his cracked lips when you turn to face him.
“You alright?” You ask quietly, looking up into his clear blue eyes. You stare at him for a full minute before he drops his gaze quickly to the bar top mumbling, “… fine”. You swear you see a flicker of embarrassment cross his face before he seems to collect himself and looks back at you, smiling.
“Really, I’m okay, Y/N. Nothing I haven’t had before.”
He is turning to walk away when, before you could stop yourself, you reach out and grab his hand. Bucky freezes, sucking in a sharp breath, but he doesn’t pull away. You gently track your thumb up and down the back of his hand. He’s staring right into your eyes, trying to read your face. The longer he stares, the faster your heart beats and you can feel the blood rushing up into your cheeks.
“I-I’m sorry…” You step back, quickly letting go of his hand, and turn to clear the rest of the bar of dirty glasses. When you look up a moment later, he’s still standing in the same spot, staring after you with an unreadable expression. Turning, you ran the full tray of dirty glasses into the sterilizer room and slammed the door shut behind you, breathing heavily.
You stupid idiot! You kicked yourself, mentally, as you unloaded and reloaded the sterilizer. I can’t have feelings for him! He’s my boss!!! You stared hard at the door, as if it was the one that had embarrassed you. I’m fired… Sighing deeply and resigning yourself to your fate, you turn and walk purposefully out of the room.
Bucky glances up from behind the bar as you re-join him, carrying the clean glasses. You set the tray down, pull the dishtowel out of your back pocket and start drying the glasses, one by one, and placing them back on the correct shelf. You work quickly and quietly, humming along with the karaoke under your breath.
A gentle nudge to your elbow brings you back to earth, “You should have a go at that.” Bucky has a wicked grin on his face. He tilts his chin back towards the karaoke machine. “Seriously. If your humming is anything to go by, it might even be average.”
You crack an immediate smile and let out the breath you’ve been holding. “Yeah, no! Not unless you do it too!” You joke, prodding him sharply in the ribs. Bucky spins away expertly then performs an elaborate bow.
“Ladies first.”
Your jaw drops. “You can’t be serious?” You manage to gasp out, “I was only joking!”
A mischievous gleam is in Bucky’s eyes now, “Nah uh doll!” He waggles his finger at you, “you made a deal so no backing out now!” You stare at him until it’s very clear he is not backing down. Throwing your dishtowel down on the bar in mock fury, you stalk over to the karaoke machine, pausing briefly to strip off your cardigan and take out your hair tie, stuffing them both into your bag.
You scroll down the list of available songs, the back of your neck heating up under the spotlights and the fact that you are 100% sure Bucky is staring at you. You let out a little squeal as you recognise your favourite song! You quickly plug in the code before you can change your mind and turn to face the bar.
You close your eyes and take a deep breath as the song starts. Stepping up to the microphone you sing….
 You’re the light, you’re the night
You’re the colour of my blood.
You’re the cure, you’re the pain
You’re the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much.
 Your hands are threading through your hair as you relax into the music. You’d forgotten just how good singing could feel. It relaxed you to just let loose all of the stress of the day.
 You’re the fear, I don’t care
Coz I’ve never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
 You can feel your body swaying to the music as you open your eyes and stare directly into Bucky’s. Your nerve falters for only a second before you continue, this time singing directly to him.
 So love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do.
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do.
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do.
What are you waiting for?
 Bucky’s eyes widen as you toss your hair, pulling the microphone out of the stand and starting to really dance.
 Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I’ve gotta find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I let you set the pace
‘Cause I’m not thinking straight
My head’s spinning around I can’t see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
 You bang your head twice with the drums, before continuing, one arm raised above your head, bouncing on your toes in time with the music.
 Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do.
What are you waiting for?
 You giggle slightly at the look on Bucky’s face and send a cheeky grin his way. His face immediately lights up in response as he grins back at you.
 I’ll let you set the pace
‘Cause I’m not thinking straight
My head’s spinning around I can’t see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
 Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do.
What are you waiting for?
 Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do.
What are you waiting for?
As you hum the last notes and replace the microphone in its stand you hear slow clapping. Looking up through your lashes, Bucky has come out from behind the bar and is walking towards you with awe splashed across his features.
“Wow, Y/N! That’s quite some voice you got hidden in there!”
You laugh freely, jabbing at his side as you drop off the stage, mentioning that it was his turn with a wink.
He shakes his head, jabbing you back and fleeing for the relative safety of the bar.
“You little…” you grumble under your breath as you go to close the bar doors and stack the chairs for the night.
Bucky is watching you warily from behind the bar as he wipes down the surfaces and taps. You are trying to look as casual as possible carrying the last of the clean glasses up to the bar, humming as you work.
“Anything left to do before we go?” Bucky asks as you place the last glass in its tray.
“I don’t think so…” you sweep your eyes around the empty room in thought, “nope, all done!”
Bucky smiles genuinely as you both head to the cloak room to grab your helmets.
Part of the benefit of living down the street from your colleague was the free rides, plus he has a motorbike which just made your trips together infinitely better.
Bucky had his back turned, locking up the back door to the bar, when you seized your chance, tiptoeing up to stand right behind Bucky.
“This is for going back on your word, Mister Barnes.” You whisper in his ear before you plunge both of your pointer fingers into each side of his ribs, making him jump as if he’d received an electric shock. You laughed evilly as you danced away and grabbed your helmet off the back of the bike.
Tumblr media
Bucky hissed as he turned, dropping his helmet and tackling you into the pile of flattened cardboard. The ensuing tickle fight left the two of you breathless, clutching your sides from laughing so hard.
Leaning forward you rested your forehead against Bucky’s and closed your eyes, enjoying the cold night air playing across your faces.
“Hey,” Bucky whispered, his breath ghosting across your slightly parted lips, “you looked really beautiful under those lights tonight. You really should sing more often.”
You hummed in response, absentmindedly running your fingers up his arm to tangle them in his soft brown hair that had come out in the midst of your tickle war. Opening your eyes, you caught Bucky biting his bottom lip.
“I’m gonna kiss you doll.”

A Comprehensive Guide to Tagging
Hey all,
Tagging is super easy to figure out, but can be deceptively hard to figure out how to master.  Most authors will probably change their tags at some point in between starting and finishing their story.  The thing is, tags are one of the biggest ways people will discover and read your stories, so it's super important to get them right.
Why are tags so important?  Your tags, along with your summary, are the criteria your readers will use to decide whether to read or not.  This means that it’s important to both advertise what’s great about your story, but also any objectionable content that some readers want to avoid.
One of the biggest challenges about tags is that FFN and AO3 have completely different tagging systems.  If you're cross-posting your work, you're going to have to figure both out.  This post will be broken down into types of tags, then specified between the two sites.
Before we get into any specifics, this should be your fundamental tagging philosophy - “Would I be satisfied to come across this story if I was browsing this tag? If so, tag it. If not, don't.”  (Awesome quote from u/Zaluzianskya on reddit)
Now, to get into specifics...
Ratings:
The rating of your fic requires you to have an answer to the question, “Who is my target audience?”  If you don't know how to answer that, think about maturity.  Am I writing a dark gritty fic, or a light comedy? Do I have gratuitous sex, or is my story gen?  
FFN has four different ratings, and AO3 has five.  Here's a breakdown of each one:
K (FFN Only) – These fics probably have no violence, no swearing, and no relationships stronger than friendship.
K+ (FFN) and General Audiences (AO3) – If you're writing one of these stories, there's probably some cartoon violence, maybe some light swearing, and some cutesy shipping.  This tag is for lighter fics, especially if they fall under the Slice of Life, Humor, Family, or Friendship genres.  Nothing here should merit an archive warning on AO3.
T/Teen (Both) – This is the default rating for a fanfiction, so if you're not sure, it probably fits here.  Violence, cursing, and non-explicit relationships are enough to land a fic here, and the majority of works do fall under this description.  The Adventure, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, and Drama genres all find their home here, although works of every genre are in this rating.
Mature (FFN) – If you write a mature story and post it to FFN, it will be automatically filtered off the home page.  That's okay, because a ton of people seek out these sex filled, violent stories about immoral acts and other horrors.  If there is explicit sex, your story must go here – especially non-con.  Since FFN doesn't have content filters, it's extremely important that your reader knows when they're reading a story about suicide, rape, or another triggering event.  It's your responsibility to make your story M if there is any explicit description of such things.  If you're not explicit about sex or such, T is still a fine rating, but use your discretion. The Horror genre has a nice home here, I don't need to see that scary stuff on my front page.  Note: Explicit sex is not allowed under FFN’s terms of service.  AO3 is a much friendlier place for smut, with more readers as well, so you would be better off posting it there.
Mature (AO3) – Same as FFN, with two key differences.  First, these stories will show up on the front page, so no worries about that.  Second, this is for graphic and objectionable content with no sex or nudity.  Save your lemons for…
Explicit (AO3 only) – Smut smut smut smuttity smut.  If your characters are having sexy time, it's an E for you.
Not Rated (AO3 only) – Honestly, if I see a not rated fic, I automatically assume it's Explicit and avoid it.  If you're writing a G fic and it's not rated, I can guarantee you you're losing readers because of it.  Don't use this one.
Genres (FFN):
Genre is a totally underrated aspect of the FFN tagging system, partly because it is horribly misused.  It's hard to know what genres to tag, especially when your work is an amalgamation of a bunch of different genres.  On top of that, you get to tag one before the other.  
I don't want to run through each one, but I'll walk you through how to choose your two genre tags.
Step One – Necessary Tags: Some genres are far more important to tag than others.  Here's a list of Genres you need to tag if it's a part of your story.
Horror: Believe it or not, a lot of people hate horror.  Absolutely tag this so those of us who scare easily get a fair warning.  Remember this will usually be an M rated fic.
Sci-Fi: This really is only important for non-sci-fi fandoms, but if you cast your heroes several thousand years into the future I want to know before I click on the story.
Parody: Note – this is different from humor, you don't need to tag a fic that's just funny.  If you're not taking canon seriously, or just playing around with it for your own amusement, please let me know ahead of time.
Poetry: Cool underused writing style in fanfiction, you should definitely tag it.
But wait, what about my Twilight Fic where Bella is trapped on a spaceship avoiding a tentacle monster named Edward trying to bewitch her into falling in love through stares and sparkles written in blank verse?
First off, that's incredible and somebody should write that.  Second of all, just choose two and roll with it. If you really need to know an order, Horror should probably come first, then Sci-fi, then Poetry, then Parody.
Step Two – Target Audience:  Who are you writing for?  Why are you writing this fic?  Why is somebody going to click on this story?  Here's a brief rundown.
Note: Don't use the general tag.  Passerbys want to know what your story's about, and this tag doesn't help at all.  I can guarantee that your fic fits at least one of the other genres.
Romance: Slash. Yuri.  Yaoi.  The singular het couple on AO3.  This is the most popular genre, and people want to look for it!  This is the single most important non-essential tag; if your story focuses on any kind of romance, let the crowd know!  We'll get back to this in character tags.
Adventure: Perfect for fandoms like Pokemon or TES.  If it's about the journey, this is the one for you.
Hurt/Comfort, Tragedy, Drama, Angst: For the feels.  Up to you to chose which one fits best, but you probably only need one of these unless your story is specifically telling you otherwise.
Mystery, Crime, Supernatural, Suspense: If it would fit on an airport bookshelf with the other thrillers, one of these is the genre for you.
Everything Else:  I think for the rest, it'll be pretty obvious which of these you want.
Remember that you don't need two genres. If you wrote a romance novel, it makes the most sense to tag it as pure romance!  Similarly, if you have one important guiding genre and a bunch of others that are less important, just tag the important genre.  Your tags should be the best summary of your fic possible given the limited system at hand.
Step Three: What Comes First?: So you've chosen one or two genres.  If there's only one, great!  You're done.  If you have two, ask yourself which one is more important to the story, what feels right, or just what looks more aesthetically pleasing.  Getting the tag down is what really matters, so you've already done the hard work.  Go you!
Completeness:
Completeness can be changed in the Manage Stories screen on FFN in your profile, or by editing your story and entering the number of chapters on AO3. A lot of people filter out works in progress, so make your hard work known!
Alright, that's it for the easy stuff, now let's talk about…
Character Tags (FFN):
Okay, the two tagging systems are about as different as is physically possible, so I'm going to do each on separately.  FFN is so much simpler and more efficient in terms of characters, so it's easier to cover.  There are two main character tagging philosophies for FFN, so we'll go over both before we talk about AO3's bloated mess.
Philosophy One: Main Character or Main Relationship – This is far and away the easiest tagging philosophy to execute.  Are there one or two characters who are most essential to your story, or whose perspective the reader gets to see?  Tag just them, and you're done. Is the whole point of your story shipping your OTP?  Just tag the romance and you're done.  For this philosophy, you don't have to use all four spots – it's absolutely fine if you only use one or two.
Philosophy Two:  All Four Tags – Basically after determining who you would tag for number one, choosing more characters so all four of your tagging spots are filled.  People will often tag a secondary relationship here, or give some of their secondary characters a spotlight.  It's important to remember that lots of people filter out by character, so if there's a character in your fandom who's much more popular than the rest, tagging them can increase your view count.
Note – Having no tags generally isn't advisable.  There are still amazingly written and popular fics on FFN with no character tags, but you're not doing yourself any favors.
Character Tags (AO3):
So, this one's a little bit more complicated.  First, let's breakdown what not to do.
Unlike FFN, you should have at least one character tag.  AO3 gives you so much more freedom than FFN with tagging, so it's way more jarring when a fic is completely untagged.
Do NOT overtag.  If you've ever been on AO3, you've probably seen the overtagged story too many times before.  This is probably the single worst tagging mistake you can make, don't do it.
Don't name your OCs in your tags.  Your original characters may be great, but that doesn't change the fact that nobody knows who they are unless they read the story.  Stick to the “Original Characters” tag and the gendered variants, no matter you have.
The most important thing about tagging on AO3 is something people forget far too often -  Just because you can use as many tags as you want doesn't mean you should. This is the golden rule for tagging on AO3: You shouldn't have more than 10 character tags and 5 relationship tags with one massive exception, see below.
A couple more things:
Use the “Undisclosed Relationships” tag.  You don't have to tag every relationship – surprise!  If two side characters (read – not important) falling in love is a side plot that the story doesn't focus on, then you don't need to tag it!  If two characters were dating in a flashback, you don't need to tag it!  Keep your relationships tag to the important ones.
Usually, you shouldn’t tag platonic relationships.  As a general rule of thumb, don’t tag these, because they’ll distract from your other relationships.  However, if your story is gen (no shipping) then it’s okay to tag the main relationship your focusing on.  To do this, tag it using the & sign instead of the / sign to indicate it’s a platonic relationship and not slash.  
Relationship Tags are distracting.  This might seem like a trivial point, but it’s actually really important to remember that relationship tags are designed to stand out.  That’s why they have a gray background.  If you have to many, it’s much harder to focus on your other tags.
None of the principles apply to smut.  People are kinky.  If you're writing a fic where you're shipping one character with literally everyone else from that fandom, feel free to tag every single pair/trio/orgy mentioned and shown in the fic. People want to know when their desired relationship is being shown, so tell them.  Basically for Explicit fics only, but also might go for a big harem fic that's rated M/T.
Archive Warnings (AO3):
These aren't that hard to understand.  If your characters are dying in droves, tag Major Character Death.  If rape is mentioned, then tag Rape/Non-Con.  If you're writing smut about fifteen year olds, tag Underage.  If your characters are getting torn apart in a slow torturous death with lots of blood, tag Graphic Depictions of Violence.  
Do not use “Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings.”  Some writers accidentally equate this with “No Warnings Apply,” but it’s an instant red flag for most readers.  It comes across as shady and untrustworthy, and readers won’t want to read your work.
There really shouldn't be any General rated stories with archive warnings. If you need to use them, then it's at least a Teen rated fic.
Content Tags (AO3):
Finally, we come to content tags.  These pose an interesting question, because you can tag literally anything here.  Your goal here should be to pose the more technical side of your summary – talk about plot points and devices here, not there.  FFN doesn't give you that liberty, so you should take advantage of it.  
What to put in your content tags:
Tropes:  People search for things like “Soul Bond” or “Time Travel” all the time.  You should absolutely be tagging these things, because they will attract your target audience to your story.
AUs: For all of the college and high school AUs out there.  Not a bad idea to tag “AU – Canon Divergence” or “AU – Alternative History” if and when they apply.
Trigger Warnings: AO3's content warnings don't cover everything.  You should tag specifications for general warnings, things like self-harm and bullying, and generally darker content.
Sexual Content: Tag your kinks, folks.
Alternative Relationship Tags: This is mostly personal preference, but I think tagging things like ship names should happen in the content tags, not the relationship tags. For example, my OTP has five different ship names and I tag them all, but I only put the “Character A/Character B” in the relationship tags.  Again, remember that the gray can be super distracting and should be minimized.
Genre: Basically, follow the same Genre process as FFN or tag some more specific subgenres. Great examples would be tagging “Noir” or “Steampunk.”
Other Keywords: Most things should have been covered by the others, but any important one to three word descriptors can be added to.
What Not To Do:
Long Tags:  No tag should ever be more than four words, unless it's something Canon specific.
Tumblr Tags: The tags are not a place for your meta thoughts.  Throwing a “omg i need more coffee” or a “bumblebee is literally the cutest thing ever” says the same thing as the classic “I suck at summaries, read anyways.”
“I suck at summaries, read anyways.”: We've established this.  If you tell me you suck at writing or “Why Did I Post This,” I will take your word for it and avoid your story.
Unimportant Tags:  If it's not important to the story, don't tag it.  So simple.
The discourse from the last post was amazing and a lot of people brought up awesome points.  What's your personal tagging philosophy?
Thank you all, Allie

Fan Fiction Quotes 2017:
"[Steve and Bucky] start a scholarship fund for Women in STEM students and name it after Peggy Carter"notes of ao3 ficyes!
"Maybe it was why he was failing so horribly now, he was too wrapped up in thinking to actually focus on the too-soft task that was quite literally at hand."Xpersonally relatable, overthinking
"He tries not to, but Steve gets that cold, sick feeling that he always gets, whenever somebody talks about him being attractive. He knows how he looks, and he can’t spend two minutes online without being reminded that the world is a big fan of the strong body and jaw that the serum gave him. He just wishes it didn’t feel so much like it’s because being scrawny and sick was some kind of aberration that had been corrected. That he wasn’t worth a dime of love or affection until he was Captain America."ch1while this might be a more extreme case, what are you supposed to do with being called beautiful? It's nice to hear but also confusing, there's more to me. "“Dracula,” Nat says simply, and heads for the elevator. Romania, then. -- “I’ll bring garlic!” Steve calls after her, and she sends him a smile over her shoulder."ch2amusing and playful. Made me smile "Tony Stark is a good person to cry in front of. He’ll only ever mock your strengths, not your weaknesses."[ch3]interesting characterization of Tony
"Ma'am, this is Steve Rogers. Yes ma'am, that one. I appear to have an unconscious HYDRA operative on my front stoop. Yes ma'am. Tied up with his own jacket. There is a gun, ma'am, but its barrel is currently at a 90-degree angle. I guess I need ... the FBI? No ma'am, I have no earthly idea."[X: ch9]funny, :) "chewing on the totally amazing future invention that is grilled cheese with egg and ham on it (seriously: why do these people still have wars)"[X:ch10]I've never tried egg on a grilled cheese... "Hey. Note: it is useful knowledge for living to have a list of things that are good no matter what."[X:ch20]good note. "His anger is a sound between his ears like a train. It is a tight band around his chest. It is hands that ache to do violence."[X:ch23]seems like good wording
"He started sketching Bucky out dancing, spinning a dame around with a huge grin plastered on his mug. He penciled in a big ol’ bow on the back of her dress like she was the best present a guy could want. But the picture was still all about Bucky. The crinkles around his eyes, staring Steve down with a challenge for him to get out there and have a whirl. Steve could hear Bucky’s laugh now."[X]pretty picture "Steve was a furnace built of muscle and good intentions, held together with a Brooklyn drawl and a heap of sass. "[X]lol
"It's not that different from close quarters fighting, really," she told him. "Think of it like you're trying to block me from getting past you, but do it to the beat. Stay loose and ready to move in any direction."[X]found because I liked some of the authors other works and the Fandom. I don't have any experience with fighting and little with dancing but it would make sense from the grace of good fight scenes in movies and tv. "I need to be able to trust anyone I'd want to go to bed with, not necessarily be in love with them."[X]interesting idea...
"A son’s faith in his father is absolute when he is small; especially when that father is the only parent the boy has"[ch7]part of growing up is learning and accepting that your parents are wrong, and sometimes it takes someone special to tell you
"Badass by day, adorably snuggling our nightmares away by night."[X]stumbled along this because of another post and tumblr's check out other posts feature. . .
"The Hulk is part of you, but he's not all of you. We know that,"[X]a reread, i don't think I pulled this quote our last time. Reread because of another quote [quote art]
"Reviewing what he knew of both [Peggy and Nat], Bucky wondered for a moment if he should be afraid, but figured that they would both take a 'firm, but fair' attitude when they ruled the world."[ch2]believable "Sorry. Just.” Bucky let go, but made Steve meet his eyes. “Fuck, I'm sorry, I'm not nagging, honestly.” -- “He cares about you, Steve, and is telling you so,” Peggy said. “Accept it like the fucking adult you are.” -- “I have cartoon pajamas, I am not an adult,” Steve informed her. "[ch4]the bold could have been a quote on its own, but on a more serious note I wanted the rest of the conversation... "Do you have any idea what it's like to be married to the angriest saint in the world?"[ch 10]amusing... "He's good and giving and kind, and sometimes he doesn't feel well and is under the impression that it cancels out everything else."[ch10]I relate, it can be hard when you're frustrated and angry with yourself "“Have fun,” Peggy said, and physically shoved him away from Steve and out the door, because she was very helpful like that."[ch12]yeah, I've had a few moments like that... "“I don't not enjoy having you here,” Steve said, pushing up on one elbow. “Bucky, don't ever think that. It's more like...I can't feel anything. Like I go numb, and don't care. And that mixes with sadness, sometimes,” he admitted. “But mostly it's just...dull. And awful. But I still know that someone loves me and is here and cares.”"[ch16]ponder Same series "Bite your tongue. There are so many ways to love people, and you got to do them all today,” Bucky pointed out. “It's a perfect Valentine's Day. One love isn't better than the other, and it shouldn't be given priority.”"[X]interesting point, Valentine's day really doesn't have to be about couples/romantic relationships, but all types of important relationships! Same Series "there's a middle ground between throwing a fit and being completely determined to not bleed on anyone else,” "[ch1]But finding that middle ground can be difficult. I also feel Steve's response when Bucky said that Steve had a "shit day": "Plenty of people have had worse days,”
"“Bucky you’re having a panic attack and I need you to listen to me. I need you to breathe. Focus on me okay? Focus on me and try to breathe with me.”"[part5]handling a panic attack. Sometimes it can be hard to accept the help remembering to breathe, like I messed up and don't deserve it. "Felt the need to explain himself more, as though acting without talking through it first was dangerous"[part+1]kinda get this for different reasons?
"Anytime [Bucky] managed to scrape together enough money after all the bills, he dragged Steve to the latest exhibit, marveling over everything. Steve, tending to look at things through a more artistic gaze, gaped at the beauty of science and Bucky’s child-like enthusiasm."[X]I'm not sure which one I'm more like. "Getting his overactive mind to shut the fuck up is a work in progress."[X]yeah, I know the feeling "as if [Bucky]’s the sunshine to cut through Steve’s rain."[X]just really nice turn of phrase "“You’re thinking too hard.” A whisper. A life boat to which Steve shamelessly clings to."[X]isn't it nice to let yourself do that? "I love spending time with you. I don’t regret a single second of it. I don’t need my space. But a relationship is between equals, Steve. After everything that happened, I needed to find myself apart from you, like you have. We needed to get back on the same page"[X]maybe. Standing on your own doesn't necessarily mean space. I will need to work on that some day, reaching out and making my own place.
"But this means showing emotion or allowing himself to feel. It means overwhelming himself, easily. It means not being able to convey everything he’s feeling ending in frustration ending in doubt, leading to locking himself up in a room. He hates it."[X]comments
"The Winter Soldier," Stark repeats. "Freezer Burn, the Russian Mob. Ice Ice Baby. Sid Vicious, the White Russian, Psychosicle, MC Hammer and Sickle--"[X]I like the variety of nicknames, quite a few I haven't seen before.
"Wow," the man says, without introducing himself. "Guess they did freeze at the peak of freshness"[ch11]lol, very Tony like
"Yes, okay, so you’re Bucky Barnes and you’re President Barnes’ son and that holds a lot of weight. But you could have chosen not to go. You could have said that it wasn’t your problem and just stayed home. But you went, and you talked to those people and you inspired them and you showed them solidarity. That was all you, and that counts. No matter what you think, that counts."[ch4]choosing to try to make a difference, no matter how seemingly small , can be very important "I’m the only person who ever gives it to you straight. Which is ironic seeing you’re as straight as a paperclip!"[ch16]not straight jokes are kinda amusing. I'm not sure if that's problematic or not... P.S. once I finished the fic I realized how much I liked Aunt Helen!
"He's an adult, you can't trust him to do the job correctly."[ch12]this fic is also in my fic rec. These kids are hilarious! "Not really much to tell." He shrugged. "Best friend. Prat. Housemate. Sometimes co-parent, sometimes yet another child to look after. That sums everything up perfectly."[ch12]amusing
"Hlupak—Czech word for "idiot". I have arbitrarily decided that Czech and Sokovian share some vocabulary, including insults. It is also my headcanon that hlupak was something Wanda called Pietro a LOT."[ch1:end chapter notes]lol
"wondering whether the total inability to sleep is a side effect of the serum or a side effect of his life."[X]sounds like a conundrum ""I know my brother. He would never be happy without somewhere to run.""[X] "You'd be smarter to stay out of this," Steve warns. -- "I don't believe intelligence was mentioned in the orientation packet." -- "That's 'cause we're all idiots. I don't want you to lose your home, Wanda. "[X]yupI wish there was more.
"As much as you can,” he said, “stay in the eye."[X]odd little fic but not bad
"Right. Does that mean Iron Man's gonna come get you?" -- "Captain America—actually." Purple Shirt groans as he tries to sit up. "He—worries too much. "[X]that sounds likely :) "You carried an orphaned kitten around in your jacket for like a week. You want me to be scared of you? Try harder."[X]cute
"Faint gamma signature, uncomfortably familiar shade of mindfuck blue, localized weirdness... You know, I really hate portals. Have I mentioned how much I hate portals?"[X]the bold bit was particularly amusing, in the laugh in order to not be negative way "Scientist wrangler and pop-culture expert," Darcy interrupted cheerfully."[X]nice intro for Darcy! "Think about it. My lady love, your lady love, every terrifying woman they know, bonding...""[X]Peggy, Pepper, Nat, Jane, Darcy, Maria, Kate maybe others... "Sam was wearing his you're being stupid right now face"[X]most characterizations of him he does this enough it's a know thing "Frank Sinatra launched into a jazzy rendition of "I'll Be Seeing You," the opening number of Darcy's "Old People" playlist. "[X]of course Darcy has an "Old People" playlist. Followed by: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy; You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To by Dinah Shore more from the comments: "The Trolley Song" (because Darcy is terrible), and ends with Vera Lynn singing "We'll Meet Again." "So they were there like gentlemen, waiting on the sidelines and holding Peggy's flower while she kicked that Bad Week's ass."[X]a quote from the comments; I like it for the facing hardships motto... "The archer plays Cupid!"[X]more from the comments
*brendaonao3.tumblr.com: Brenda’s Long-Ass Under-Appreciated Fanfics Appreciation/Rec Post Part 1*
"he hated making Bucky worry for no good reason, mostly because of how often he made Bucky worry with reason"[X]not really sure how I feel about it, characters seem good but I'm not sure I feel the chemistry?
"Iron Man pinned to the ground, held down by Alice and the White Rabbit while the Mad Hatter bashed at his helmet with a teacup"[X]very amusing and I should draw. Statues.(Also, later:"That's a big whale")
"Yeah, real handsome. All the dolls will be swooning.” Bucky winked, and it was easy as anything to reply, “There's only one doll whose swoon I want, sweetheart"[X]goofy and fun, I like it "younger man hunched in a similar manner over his book, sitting crosslegged on Steve's bed. Steve remembered glancing up from his sketch of something unimportant at the same time as Bucky looked up, and their eyes met, and they leaned across the bed toward each other. When they kissed, their bodies formed an arch over the bedspread, like the ceiling of a cathedral. Then they went back to what they'd been doing"[X]nice imagery
"Sometimes, even with all of the positive developments - or maybe partly because of them, who knows - it all gets to be a bit much for Steve, which makes him feel guilty, because it’s not like he’s the one who’s working through seven decades of manipulation and brutality"[X]relatable, the "why should I be the stressed one?"(note: talking heads song this fic, Bruce) "such as interrupting one of Tony’s endless attempts to impress him with Midgardian science by saying, “Truly a valiant effort, my friend” and patting Tony on the head), "[X]amusing, I bet Tony has an opinion on that, not sure what though [Steve]"Are you judging me right now?" [Sam]“Not at the moment, no. But I reserve the right to do so at a later date, depending on what your dumb ass comes up with next" [Steve]"Fair enough"[X]comments
"Anytime Bucky gets in the elevator alone, JARVIS talks to him the whole time."[X]awww
" would wrinkle his nose, not because of the smell as much as what the smell meant"[X]personal reasons: yeah I don't like the smell but I'd never thought about it before until I learned of the part it played between my parents...I like this fic center
"Because I don’t understand,” he admits at last. “You’re--good. Everything about you is good. If anyone can see the truth about me, it should be you. I want to understand what you see in me so that I can try to be good again too" It feels ridiculous, having said the words aloud. [X]same paragraph as the next quote "He has a fleeting half-thought about what it would be like to fling himself off the rooftop, but he knows he never actually will."[X]...not actually suicidal?
"Guilt or croutons, Steve, those are your choices. You'll just have to live with it."[X]I feel you Steve
"The Winter Soldier reads each and every label carefully, deciding between hydrocodone and acetaminophen and naproxen sodium."[X]*whine* the first one is more heavy duty than the other two (Tylenol and Aleeve)
"He could simply read the title off the book, but he loves the way Bucky’s eyes light up when he gets to tell Steve about whatever he’s reading."[X]this is sweet, and the answer is amusing "Figures. You love the man who sings about the little people. That’s so you."[X]I like the music section that follows this quote...
"He lets it sit on his tongue, imagines he can feel it dissolve into fats and proteins, weaving together to build muscle or stoking the fires of his mitochondria, warming him."[X]meditative idea??
"A good spy never let on that his primary observations about the human character came from Disney films"[X]lol "The human version of toast that lands butter side down, every time,"[X]wow, what a way to describe Clint Barton!
"He craves [human closeness], Bucky knows, reveres it so much that he’ll never take it for granted, that he rarely dares to ask for it"[X]relatable
"Genuine kicker of all Nazi ass, and he blushed like a schoolgirl. Dork."[X]comments
"He's not so stupid he'll ignore the fact that when Steven "My Blood Group is Apple Pie" Rogers threatens to end you, he means it literally literally."[X]not actually from the fic rec but this one inspired one on the fic rec... "hobo-sex-kitten "[X]uhm, where else can that even be applied. Tony narration can be unique
"‘I’m Bucky Barnes.’ He meets him halfway for a second. ‘And I take my own orders.’"[X]this line just stuck me
"Explain how necking with an estranged assassin is a favor," Bucky replies, miffed."[X]this fic, the story game?
"Ah, shit, you came in through the window didn’t you?"[X]made me laugh
"Being Iron Man doesn't make his brain shut up, exactly, but it tunes out the shit that doesn't matter better than anything else he's tried, and he's tried everything.)"[X]makes me think about my boyfriend explaining how SCA fighting or shooting at a gun range are for him.
*pause on the fic rec, I'll get back to reading it later
"Look man, all I’m saying is that for years you gave me someone to look up to for my entire life. ....You gave me someone to look to when I was feeling lost. I know that I’m nothing special, but you seem pretty lost right now. Figured you needed a little push, just like you used to give me."[X]Steve and Violet pt5, Tumblr fic
"More than once, James has ended up on the couch with Sam playing with his hair with a nature documentary on mute. He does the narration. Orcas are assholes"[X]found because of unclesteeb.tumblr.com
"When Steve thinks about Sam his heart does this funny thing where it feels like it’s overrun with kittens and puppies. Everything’s tiny patters of fluffy feet and pastel sugar plums made of candy. "[X]again, unclesteeb
"It's always the middle of winter, Jimmy never dreams of spring, no matter that his entire life is about being reborn, again and again -"[X]nice symbolism, and I'm not even a literary nerd. Also, from the fic rec from before...
"It's like he puts out some super pheromone that makes one believe in truth, goodness, and harebrained schemes."[ch1]I read the original story previously because of a fan art "Confirm. Green thing Hulk is tough and focused. And it's so big that it draws attention away from Steve"[ch1]amusing,particularly Steve's reaction :) "Building is a mission-assist for everyone."[X]awww/lol "One day at a time, Sam says, unless it takes one minute at a time, and then you do that."[ch7]good advice from Sam, of course Just all of chapter 8! "It's rude to assign gender without asking, Stark."[ch9]response to Tony arbitrarily tendering one of his bots (admittedly he does it to annoy Tony but...) "Barnes receives a majestic eyeroll, worthy of bald eagles and amber waves of grain."[ch11]amusing "Assists in your mission to live a good human life"[ch11]awww! Cuteness, I love this AU at Halloween time!
"and sits crammed into the corners of sofas, staring out."[X]same Series as previous set. I relate. Is it "a desire for human hugs" (blame Frozen for the phrasing) "America's mighty chin of stubbornness juts out like Plymouth Rock."[X]lol "Captain Fret wearing his worried expression"[X]yup
"All of the Bucky/Banner introductions, throughout the universes, have generally gone as well as two introverted weapons of mass destruction meeting could go."[ch6]was inspired by the last one
"I get lost in that feeling. Sometimes I need to rehash everything to get it all back in order in my head."[X]relatable I think from this fic rec
"I know that we– well, I –the last few times we’ve tried to, um, God why can’t I just say this out loud?"[X]because your normal Bucky. A lot of people feel that way, we shouldn't have to but it's not weird to! (Mini soap box)
"He’d found not one, but two, families in his long lifetime. People he cared about not because he had to, not because they shared any blood ties, but because they had come into his life when he felt like he had nothing else, and made it better."[X]the importance of any type of family!
"Steve quirked an eyebrow, putting his hands on his hips in his best ‘Captain America does not approve of your sass’ pose."[ch1]reminds me of doing the same with my boyfriend. "It’s just- I know it doesn’t look like much but we found it together. Yeah, it’s kind of old and beat up, and it’s little and broken but it’s still good. Yeah, still good."[ch2]yes, that probably does sound familiar! Disney!
"The Moon is a protector, Bucky. He’s bruised." Steve gives his fingers a squeeze, remembering a similar look on Peggy’s face once upon a time, when he stood in front of her with a broken transponder in his hand. “When I found someone worth flirting with."[X]awww, smile
"not his tiny blond ball of fury (whom he now remembers is a large blond ball of righteous fury),"[post]from the linked post, inspired this fic
"[Being surly to Captain America] It's like being nasty to Superman. He could do it, but he'd just feel like shit afterwards. It's not an experience he's eager to repeat."[X]amusing, means he's done that before...
""Yes, Pepper," they chorus like the good little schoolboys they might have been, once upon a time"[X]lol
"The next time he visited the pediatric ward at New York-Presbyterian, he brought a ton of socks and some puffy paint, so the kids could paint their own. The project was a hit with parents and internet knitters alike."[X]awww!! "Avengers Stitch and Bitch. "[X]comments
"he still has bad days where he sits in the dark by himself because the thought of being around anyone--even Steve--is like jackhammers in his skull and shattered glass under his skin. "[X]not nearly that bad for me, but I kinda get that "refrigerator with a magnet that looks like his shield."[X]cute. Near the end.
"the one who doesn't laugh as much or as loud as he used to, but whose eyes still crinkle in genuine humor at stupid puns and in wonder at some of the marvels of this modern age."[X]quiet emotion, not a lack of sense of humor
"This whole talking about our feelings like adults thing is hard. It made me hungry again. Didn't it make you hungry again?"[X]amusing, don't love the pairing 'cause I only know one of them and I really like him with Steve - though I've liked others
"he doesn't have anything left but a broken heart and some sourdough starter"[X]I've now seen a fair amount of Great British Baking Show " (Sure, the therapy sessions and the anti-anxiety drugs are helping too, but Steve's always been a big believer in the efficacy of hard work and good food for making a person feel better after their world's been turned upside down, and the bakery provides both in spades.)"[X]any combination of methods that helps
"You're going out with Barton. What makes you think you're in any way qualified to give me relationship advice?"[X]amusing deflection banter
"Bucky, you've always needed Steve and me to see the light in you, because you could never see it in yourself. That hasn't changed."[X]Peggy bring the truth...
"Hey! It’s dumb heroic shit. I don’t do stupid, unless there’s a reason for it."[X]yup, sounds like him "Barnes and Rogers, Brooklyn’s own troublemakers."[X]again, yup
"Never felt right pursing any selfish whims when there was so much injustice in the world, so many wrongs begging to be righted."[X]Bucky. Pirate AU. I really like the art - which is how I found it
"Steve gets to sleep in the middle and Clark and Buck equally love and fear his toes. His body radiates heat, but his damn toes are always cold and what the shit??? He’s so warm and yet?? Why just the toes?!"[X]Tumblr head cannon for Steve, Bucky and Clark Kent. I know cold toes!
"He does [sex] more for the happiness and emotional connectivity and that natural high of pleasing the ones he loves the most."[X]Tumblr head cannon for Steve, Bucky and Clark Kent.
"He’d never even told her he was pansexual (he figured he wasn’t bi because that could potentially discount aliens and since humans are technically “not him” he figured pan made sense). He’s spent a lot of time in the shower thinking about his sexual identity to be honest."[X]again the wibtersupercap head cannons. Lol. Even if the rest isn't really my thing at all
"Sex is so very complicated to him. He wants it, he doesn’t want it. It feels good…he’s never in the mood. He wants physical contact…he doesn’t want that much…but yeah sometimes he does? He’s all very confused about himself. "[X]MORE head cannon stuff. Almost done, over halfway. Even not identifying as ace I get this. Relatable, personal .
"Kal could totally be an indicator of “Hey I need attention, love me plz.” "[X]more head cannon stuff, almost done.
"They feel alone in the world, walking beside people who don’t really belong to them but are there all the same."[X]they being Steve Rogers and Clark Kent - so on point!
"I have all this pent up emotion and nowhere to put it, and my boys are beautifully conveying and taking out their motions while I put my fist through the bathroom mirror."[X]ahhh.
"Steve's stomach gurgles noisily and Bucky laughs. "If I could move right now, I'd make you pancakes, but it's going to have to wait until morning.""[X]sex burns calories
"alfred ['s Tumblr]: guns and sometimes miniature cakes"[X]comments
"He wants to live on steamed dumplings from now on."[X]I'm with you Barnes, they are good! "He wakes up early in the morning blanketed by the full-size chest of Captain America. Talk about purple mountains' majesty."[X]lol
"Steve sleeps in the day when he isn’t out and then he’s up all night, up all night long, finding something to do, jogging, TV, sitting at the window, all night, all night."[X]yeah, depression
"Steve hops up on the washing machine, swinging his legs – they’re only a couple scant inches off the ground, but he likes doing it"[X]relatable
"the tired face of Bruce Banner overlayed with that of the Hulk"[X: story 2]imagery. Draw. "Steve from Brooklyn was still there since Bucky could see him. He didn't need any other assurance."[X: story 3]comments
"well, i say bopped–it was the sort of wild swing you take with a frypan when someone startles you in the kitchen."[X]hilarious
"led by the bastard child of paul bunyan and lady liberty"[X]what a way to describe Captain America
"Okay, guys, fair warning, this is gonna get pretty meta pretty fast. Because you know that I love Cap-spotting as much as the next person, and this comm is literally one of the most uplifting places on the internet right now, because it’s first and foremost about human connection and how heroes really are just like us, and they go out to get Chipotle or whatever, and we desperately need that in this shit show that’s called our lives, especially after what happened in NYC."[ch1]okay, this makes sense, though privacy should also be a thing... Maybe there's not pictures? Then the continuation! "[stan the smithsonian guard] also got a photo out of this, and the opportunity to tell cap that his older brother fought in the 107th during the war and knew bucky barnes. cap apparently got a little choked up. can’t blame him."[ch3]poor guard on duty when Cap took back his uniform... Stan even gets cameos in fics "and i heard pepper potts might have implied a thing or two right after it turned out bucky was alive, and even the paps are scared shitless of that woman. AS THEY VERY WELL SHOULD BE."[ch3]oh the things that could get done if Peggy and Pepper were in the same time! "Other auctioned “items” include a self-defense lesson with Natasha Romanoff, archery practice with Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, and a day in a lab with Tony Stark, and they will all be donated by the happy winners to the beneficiaries of the Youth Program at the Potts Foundation."[ch3]YEEEEES! "And it was nice to see that you can come back from something like this, maybe not whole, but at least not completely shattered, you know. Reassuring. "[ch3]motivational "We don’t want Captain America, the hero who’s supposed to represent the majority of Americans, to be someone we can’t identify with at all because of the lifestyle he chooses."[ch3]a haters comment. Me: so the majority of Americans can't relate to following one's heart toward happiness?!
"It’s been nice to have people around him he can indulge skin hunger with as much as his libido."[X]a friwnds Tumblr. I'm not sure (or maybe I just don't have the energy to analyse it) why this quote stood out to me...
"Sure, he didn't need glasses, and sure, they were practically useless, but they were badass. Plus they made the world look purple"[X]not overall relevant but a cute warming read "Natasha winds up throwing Clint down the garbage chute and if that's not some kind of metaphor for Clint's life he doesn't know what is."[X]lol!
"Put on one of these obnoxious Christmas monstrosities that Tony has decided to inflict on us and get up to the main floor, because when I say that Santa has been, man has he been."[X]comments "Nope, it’s 9am. That is not too early. It’s Christmas, stop being such a Russian humbug and get up."[X]little 3+1 Christmas fic

Fan fiction quotes 2017: (part 1)
<p>“[Steve and Bucky] start a scholarship fund for Women in STEM students and name it after Peggy Carter”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/7216216 ”>notes of ao3 fic</a><i>yes!</i></p>
<p>“Maybe it was why he was failing so horribly now, he was too wrapped up in thinking to actually focus on the too-soft task that was quite literally at hand.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/2664575 ”>X</a><i>personally relatable, overthinking</i></p>
<p>“He tries not to, but Steve gets that cold, sick feeling that he always gets, whenever somebody talks about him being attractive. He knows how he looks, and he can’t spend two minutes online without being reminded that the world is a big fan of the strong body and jaw that the serum gave him. He just wishes it didn’t feel so much like it’s because being scrawny and sick was some kind of aberration that had been corrected. That he wasn’t worth a dime of love or affection until he was Captain America.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/6829822/chapters/15589036 ”>ch1</a><i>while this might be a more extreme case, what are you supposed to do with being called beautiful? It’s nice to hear but also confusing, there’s more to me.</i>
<br/>““Dracula,” Nat says simply, and heads for the elevator. Romania, then.<br/>
–<br/>
“I’ll bring garlic!” Steve calls after her, and she sends him a smile over her shoulder.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/6829822/chapters/15600958”>ch2</a><i>amusing and playful. Made me smile</i>
<br/>“Tony Stark is a good person to cry in front of. He’ll only ever mock your strengths, not your weaknesses.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/6829822/chapters/15602059 ”>[ch3]</a><i>interesting characterization of Tony</i></p>
<p>“Ma'am, this is Steve Rogers. Yes ma'am, that one. I appear to have an unconscious HYDRA operative on my front stoop. Yes ma'am. Tied up with his own jacket. There is a gun, ma'am, but its barrel is currently at a 90-degree angle. I guess I need … the FBI? No ma'am, I have no earthly idea.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/1752638/chapters/4525644 ”>[X: ch9]</a><i>funny, :)</i>
<br/>“chewing on the totally amazing future invention that is grilled cheese with egg and ham on it (seriously: why do these people still have wars)”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/1752638/chapters/4667241”>[X:ch10]</a><i>I’ve never tried egg on a grilled cheese…</i>
<br/>“Hey. Note: it is useful knowledge for living to have a list of things that are good no matter what.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/1752638/chapters/5666021”>[X:ch20]</a><i>good note.</i>
<br/>“His anger is a sound between his ears like a train. It is a tight band around his chest. It is hands that ache to do violence.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/1752638/chapters/5838920 ”>[X:ch23]</a><i>seems like good wording</i></p>
<p>“He started sketching Bucky out dancing, spinning a dame around with a huge grin plastered on his mug. He penciled in a big ol’ bow on the back of her dress like she was the best present a guy could want. But the picture was still all about Bucky. The crinkles around his eyes, staring Steve down with a challenge for him to get out there and have a whirl. Steve could hear Bucky’s laugh now.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/9065917?view_adult=true ”>[X]</a><i>pretty picture </i>
<br/>“Steve was a furnace built of muscle and good intentions, held together with a Brooklyn drawl and a heap of sass. ”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/9065917?view_adult=true ”>[X]</a><i>lol</i></p>
<p>“It’s not that different from close quarters fighting, really,” she told him. “Think of it like you’re trying to block me from getting past you, but do it to the beat. Stay loose and ready to move in any direction.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/1663649?view_adult=true”>[X]</a><i>found because I liked some of the authors other works and the Fandom. I don’t have any experience with fighting and little with dancing but it would make sense from the grace of good fight scenes in movies and tv.</i>
<br/>“I need to be able to trust anyone I’d want to go to bed with, not necessarily be in love with them.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/1663649?view_adult=true”>[X]</a><i>interesting idea…</i></p>
<p>“A son’s faith in his father is absolute when he is small; especially when that father is the only parent the boy has”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/908432/chapters/1758879 ”>[ch7]</a><i>part of growing up is learning and accepting that your parents are wrong, and sometimes it takes someone special to tell you </i></p>
<p>“Badass by day, adorably snuggling our nightmares away by night.”<a href =“ https://unclesteeb.tumblr.com/post/144820646186/okay-but-hear-me-out-imagine-if-bucky-had-a-falcon?is_related_post=1”>[X]</a><i>stumbled along this because of another post and tumblr’s check out other posts feature…</i></p>
<p>“The Hulk is part of you, but he’s not all of you. We know that,”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/4907305”>[X]</a><i>a reread, i don’t think I pulled this quote our last time. Reread because of another quote <a href=“http://rowanartist.tumblr.com/post/159323582374/when-were-hurting-by-tasteissweet-i-read-this”> [quote art]</a></i></p>
<p>“Reviewing what he knew of both [Peggy and Nat], Bucky wondered for a moment if he should be afraid, but figured that they would both take a ‘firm, but fair’ attitude when they ruled the world.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/3784861/chapters/8462317”>[ch2]</a><i>believable </i>
</br>“Sorry. Just.” Bucky let go, but made Steve meet his eyes. “Fuck, I’m sorry, I’m not nagging, honestly.”
</br>–<br/>
“He cares about you, Steve, and is telling you so,” Peggy said. “Accept it like the fucking adult you are.”
</br>–<br/>
<b>“I have cartoon pajamas, I am not an adult,” Steve informed her.</b>
”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/3784861/chapters/8586082 ”>[ch4]</a><i>the bold could have been a quote on its own, but on a more serious note I wanted the rest of the conversation…</i>
</br>“Do you have any idea what it’s like to be married to the angriest saint in the world?”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/3784861/chapters/8949295 ”>[ch 10]</a><i>amusing…</i>
</br>“He’s good and giving and kind, and sometimes he doesn’t feel well and is under the impression that it cancels out everything else.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/3784861/chapters/8949295 ”>[ch10]</a><i>I relate, it can be hard when you’re frustrated and angry with yourself </i>
</br>““Have fun,” Peggy said, and physically shoved him away from Steve and out the door, because she was very helpful like that.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/3784861/chapters/9068359 ”>[ch12]</a><i>yeah, I’ve had a few moments like that…</i>
</br>““I don't not enjoy having you here,” Steve said, pushing up on one elbow. “Bucky, don’t ever think that. It’s more like…I can’t feel anything. Like I go numb, and don’t care. And that mixes with sadness, sometimes,” he admitted. “But mostly it’s just…dull. And awful. But I still know that someone loves me and is here and cares.””<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/3784861/chapters/9291213 ”>[ch16]</a><i>ponder</i>
</br>Same series
</br>“Bite your tongue. There are so many ways to love people, and you got to do them all today,” Bucky pointed out. “It’s a perfect Valentine’s Day. One love isn’t better than the other, and it shouldn’t be given priority.””<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/6002830”>[X]</a><i>interesting point, Valentine’s day really doesn’t have to be about couples/romantic relationships, but all types of important relationships!</i>
</br>Same Series
</br>“there’s a middle ground between throwing a fit and being completely determined to not bleed on anyone else,” ”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/5046757/chapters/11604511?view_adult=true ”>[ch1]</a><i>But finding that middle ground can be difficult. I also feel Steve’s response when Bucky said that Steve had a “shit day”: </i>“Plenty of people have had worse days,”</p>
<p>"“Bucky you’re having a panic attack and I need you to listen to me. I need you to breathe. Focus on me okay? Focus on me and try to breathe with me.””<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/2368673?view_adult=true ”>[part5]</a><i>handling a panic attack. Sometimes it can be hard to accept the help remembering to breathe, like I messed up and don’t deserve it. </i>
</br>“Felt the need to explain himself more, as though acting without talking through it first was dangerous”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/2368673?view_adult=true ”>[part+1]</a><i>kinda get this for different reasons?</i></p>
<p>“Anytime [Bucky] managed to scrape together enough money after all the bills, he dragged Steve to the latest exhibit, marveling over everything. Steve, tending to look at things through a more artistic gaze, gaped at the beauty of science and Bucky’s child-like enthusiasm.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/collections/stevebuckyspringfling/works/3576894?view_adult=true ”>[X]</a><i>I’m not sure which one I’m more like.</i>
</br>“Getting his overactive mind to shut the fuck up is a work in progress.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/collections/stevebuckyspringfling/works/3576894?view_adult=true ”>[X]</a><i>yeah, I know the feeling</i>
</br>“as if [Bucky]’s the sunshine to cut through Steve’s rain.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/collections/stevebuckyspringfling/works/3576894?view_adult=true ”>[X]</a><i>just really nice turn of phrase </i>
</br>““You’re thinking too hard.” A whisper. A life boat to which Steve shamelessly clings to.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/collections/stevebuckyspringfling/works/3576894?view_adult=true ”>[X]</a><i>isn’t it nice to let yourself do that? </i>
</br>“I love spending time with you. I don’t regret a single second of it. I don’t need my space. But a relationship is between equals, Steve. After everything that happened, I needed to find myself apart from you, like you have. We needed to get back on the same page”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/collections/stevebuckyspringfling/works/3576894?view_adult=true ”>[X]</a><i>maybe. Standing on your own doesn’t necessarily mean space. I will need to work on that some day, reaching out and making my own place. </i></p>
<p>“But this means showing emotion or allowing himself to feel. It means overwhelming himself, easily. It means not being able to convey everything he’s feeling ending in frustration ending in doubt, leading to locking himself up in a room. He hates it.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/10261793 ”>[X]</a><i>comments</i></p>
<p>“The Winter Soldier,” Stark repeats. “Freezer Burn, the Russian Mob. Ice Ice Baby. Sid Vicious, the White Russian, Psychosicle, MC Hammer and Sickle–”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/1710950?view_adult=true ”>[X]</a><i>I like the variety of nicknames, quite a few I haven’t seen before.</i></p>
<p>“Wow,” the man says, without introducing himself. “Guess they did freeze at the peak of freshness”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/1609838/chapters/3528731”>[ch11]</a><i>lol, very Tony like </i></p>
<p>“Yes, okay, so you’re Bucky Barnes and you’re President Barnes’ son and that holds a lot of weight. But you could have chosen not to go. You could have said that it wasn’t your problem and just stayed home. But you went, and you talked to those people and you inspired them and you showed them solidarity. That was all you, and that counts. No matter what you think, that counts.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/1555589/chapters/3349619”>[ch4]</a><i>choosing to try to make a difference, no matter how seemingly small , can be very important</i>
</br>“I’m the only person who ever gives it to you straight. Which is ironic seeing you’re as straight as a paperclip!”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/1555589/chapters/3628922”>[ch16]</a><i>not straight jokes are kinda amusing. I’m not sure if that’s problematic or not… </i>P.S. once I finished the fic I realized how much I liked Aunt Helen!</p>
<p>“He’s an adult, you can’t trust him to do the job correctly.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/1257214/chapters/2588569”>[ch12]</a><i>this fic is also in my fic rec. These kids are hilarious!</i>
</br>“Not really much to tell.” He shrugged. “Best friend. Prat. Housemate. Sometimes co-parent, sometimes yet another child to look after. That sums everything up perfectly.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/1257214/chapters/2588569 ”>[ch12]</a><i>amusing</i></p>
<p>“Hlupak—Czech word for "idiot”. I have arbitrarily decided that Czech and Sokovian share some vocabulary, including insults. It is also my headcanon that hlupak was something Wanda called Pietro a LOT.“<a href =”http://archiveofourown.org/works/7154279/chapters/16242866 “>[ch1:end chapter notes]</a><i>lol</i></p>
<p>"wondering whether the total inability to sleep is a side effect of the serum or a side effect of his life.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/5455307 ”>[X]</a><i>sounds like a conundrum </i>
</br>“"I know my brother. He would never be happy without somewhere to run.”“<a href =” http://archiveofourown.org/works/5455307 “>[X]</a>
</br>"You’d be smarter to stay out of this,” Steve warns.
</br>–<br/>
“I don’t believe intelligence was mentioned in the orientation packet.”
</br>–<br/>
“That’s 'cause we’re all idiots. I don’t want you to lose your home, Wanda.
”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/5455307 ”>[X]</a><i>yup</i>I wish there was more.</p>
<p>“As much as you can,” he said, “stay in the eye.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/8951695”>[X]</a><i>odd little fic but not bad </i></p>
<p>“Right. Does that mean Iron Man’s gonna come get you?”
</br>–<br/>
“Captain America—actually.” Purple Shirt groans as he tries to sit up. “He—worries too much.
”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/5690638”>[X]</a><i>that sounds likely :)</i>
</br>“You carried an orphaned kitten around in your jacket for like a week. You want me to be scared of you? Try harder.”<a href =“ http://archiveofourown.org/works/5690638”>[X]</a><i>cute</i></p>
<p>“Faint gamma signature, uncomfortably <b>familiar shade of mindfuck blue</b>, localized weirdness… You know, I really hate portals. Have I mentioned how much I hate portals?”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/3305363 ”>[X]</a><i>the bold bit was particularly amusing, in the laugh in order to not be negative way </i>
</br>“Scientist wrangler and pop-culture expert,” Darcy interrupted cheerfully.“<a href =” http://archiveofourown.org/works/3305363“>[X]</a><i>nice intro for Darcy! </i>
</br>"Think about it. My lady love, your lady love, every terrifying woman they know, bonding…”“<a href =” http://archiveofourown.org/works/3305363
“>[X]</a><i>Peggy, Pepper, Nat, Jane, Darcy, Maria, Kate maybe others…</i>

</br>“Frank Sinatra launched into a jazzy rendition of "I’ll Be Seeing You,” the opening number of Darcy’s “Old People” playlist. "<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/works/3305363 ”>[X]</a><i>of course Darcy has an “Old People” playlist. Followed by: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy; You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To by Dinah Shore</i> more from the comments: “The Trolley Song” (because Darcy is terrible), and ends with Vera Lynn singing “We’ll Meet Again.”
</br>“So they were there like gentlemen, waiting on the sidelines and holding Peggy’s flower while she kicked that Bad Week’s ass.”<a href =“http://archiveofourown.org/comments/23948753 ”>[X]</a><i>a quote from the comments; I like it for the facing hardships motto…</i>
