Ficlet under the cut.

It’s pouring rain when Bucky leaves work, so instead of trying to brave the weather and make it to the closest subway station, he hails a cab. The only problem is, that right when he sits down, a guy sits down in the seat next to him. They look at each other for a moment - the guy, soaking wet, gives him a crooked smile.

“We could share?” He asks, looking hopeful. “If you don’t mind, of course.”

Bucky really doesn’t want to go out in the rain again and he’d feel bad if he said no. Plus, the guy is nice, polite - something you don’t see every day in New York. Bucky isn’t about to be rude in return.

“Yeah, why not,” he says, smiling back at the guy.

The first couple of minutes of the drive are awkwardly quiet, neither of them saying anything apart from Bucky giving the driver his address.

“Brooklyn huh?” the guy says then, and they end up talking about the borough. The guy, Steve, apparently lives there too, grew up there, just like Bucky.

He’s nice to talk to. Steve gestures a lot with his hands as he talks, which Bucky finds cute. It’s not the only thing he finds cute. Well, cute isn’t exactly the right word. Even soaking wet because of the rain, Steve is gorgeous. Straight out of one of Bucky’s dreams. Or, not so straight, he hopes.

Maybe he’s even more beautiful because of the rain - the wet hair he keeps pushing back in a way that makes Bucky’s fingers itch, the way his wet, ridiculously long lashes, call even more attention to beautiful green-blue eyes. He finds himself staring at Steve, a little enraptured.

When the driver announces they’re at Bucky’s place, he’s kind of disappointed. He could talk to Steve for hours.

Bucky takes out his wallet and is about to pay, when Steve puts his hand on Bucky’s.

“Wait, let me get it,” he says, “it’s the least I can do.”

It’s kind, but Bucky wouldn’t feel right letting Steve pay for the entire trip. “We could just split it?”

Steve rolls his eyes. “Okay, okay, let’s do that.”

Bucky takes out a couple of bills and hands them over to the driver. When he looks at Steve, he sees him look a little panicked.

“What’s wrong?”

Steve flushes. “I uhm- I might have….fuck.” He shakes his head, water droplets shaking out of his hair. “I left my wallet in my suit jacket. Which I left at the office.”

Bucky bites his lip trying not to laugh. “That’s okay, I can just…let me just give you the money for the rest of the trip.”

“No, no I can’t do that, I can’t ask you to do that,” Steve says vehemently.

Before Bucky can tell him he doesn’t need to ask - surprising himself for wanting to help out a complete stranger like this - Steve gives him a sheepish look.

“I might have also…my keys are in my suit jacket too.”

He should probably consider that this is some sort of con, that Steve is tricking him somehow. But for some reason, he trusts Steve. He counts out a couple more bills to hand over to the driver - who’s sighing impatiently by now.

“Come on,” Bucky says. “You can stay the night, figure out your situation in the morning.” It feels like the right thing to do.

“No, no I couldn’t impose on you like that, I’ll just-“ Steve says, looking a little lost.

Bucky raises an eyebrow at him. “You’ll just go back to the city?”

Steve deflates a little at that, and Bucky really feels sorry for him now.

“Come on,” he repeats, “I promise you’re not putting me out.”

Finally, Steve caves. He follows Bucky out of the cab and up to his apartment, where they’re greeted by an annoyed Alpine. It is past her usual dinner time, so Bucky makes his apologies, flushing a little when he notices Steve watching him.

Bucky tells Steve to make himself comfortable while he makes some tea, which they have in the living room sitting across from each other - Steve on the couch, Bucky in his favorite chair (even if it’s littered with little white hairs that seem to make their way onto everything Bucky owns).

They end up talking more, until deep into the night. When they’ve both started to yawn every 5 seconds, Bucky decides it’s time for bed. He almost invites Steve to join him in bed, but that seems a little forward even to him. Steve gets settled on the couch instead, and they say their good nights.

When Bucky wakes up in the morning, a little bleary eyed, he immediately knows there’s no one in his apartment apart from him and Alpine. His suspicions are proven correct when he makes his way into the living room, where a blanket is neatly folded on top of the couch.

It makes him a little sad. He should have asked for Steve’s phone number, would’ve liked to have said goodbye. He’s more than a little disappointed that Steve just left.

After having had such a short night, he has a rough day at work. It feels endless, he’s exhausted, and he’s not in a good mood, no matter how much coffee he drinks throughout the day.

When he gets home that night, he thinks the day is pretty much a write off. Until he gets to his front door, where a vase of gorgeous pink flowers is waiting for him.

There’s a card there. “Thank you for everything,” it says, in flowing cursive, “Call me?”. There’s a phone number at the bottom of the card and Steve’s name. Bucky can’t help but smile.

Maybe this day can be saved after all.

People seemed to really like that last Ella Enchanted AU drawing, so I did some more! Shoutout to Phoenix’s hair for forcing me to get better at perspective XD

And like, yes, that first exchange was technically with Hattie in the movie, but like… it was too perfect.

[okartichoke]

au where godot gets therapy and becomes a math professor after getting out of prison

no cuz i had so much fun with this

he either teaches 13ish year olds Algebra 1 or OR he teaches adults who are learning mathematics later in life! He’s trying to lay off the coffee at his therapist’s insistence. He’s gotten down to only 3 cups on a good day.

Pearl/Maya channels Mia the day before his very first lesson, and he practices the whole lesson plan on her because he’s actually nervous. </3 That’s the last time he’s seen her.

ngl i really love math teacher godot HAHA im genuinely so endeared to this idea???? putting many more hcs in the tags >:3

erm uh yeah but then i doodled squirrel godot and had fun with that too so here’s him HAHA

You wanted proof? Here’s your proof.

[metaphorical-goblin]

I love Trucy so much but I’m just thinking about her and Phoenix’s first couple of months living together

Trucy moves so silently (“she’s like… the twins from that scary movie”), so Phoenix either has his eye on her constantly so she won’t get into trouble (or hurt herself) or

“Hello Daddy.”

SHIT— has to restraint himself from flinging what he’s holding into the nearest wall, “o-oh! Hey Trucy!”

Staring at him with her All Seeing Eyes, “do you want to see something cool.”

Oh— oh god please don’t let it be a body. Do we have mice? Did she catch a mouse??? “Oh, yeah, sure thing kiddo.”

Tenderly takes him by the hand and pulls him into her room, “I organized all my socks by color.”

“…oh. Wow. Cool!”

“I also organized all my construction paper by color but that seemed less important at the time”

“Uh-…huh”

AND AN ASIDE I THINK ITS VERY IMPORTANT that Phoenix takes EVERYTHING IN STRIDE, like yessss king, water off a ducks back, this is your child now

Okay because as a lesbian (maybe idk don't ask I just kiss women) and just as a queer person in general I really have seen a lot of queer characters centred around their relationships.

Obviously, I haven't seen a lot of queer rep itself, because wlw rep is still something that should be worked on, but I really just want to see lesbians existing. I want to see a queer woman have friends and live her life and work and laugh and joke and act like a normal human who isn't centred around kissing women. That's important to me because I want to know that it's normal, that it's just another thing about me, that it isn't something that defines all of me and that I'm still me outside of it. This is something that people who are in dangerous living situations don't often have, or even just closeted people.

I want Robin to have a girlfriend, but I also want her to have friends and click with people and have a platonic soulmate, because I want to know that she isn't just the one lesbian rep with a gf. I want to know that that's not just what she is.

Because her being more than that, her being worth more and just a fully fleshed out character would be the best possible wlw representation Stranger Things would give.

Also let her kiss Nancy just a little bit for me pls

musings on maya fey and the ship of theseus

They say that every 7 years so many of your cells have died and regenerated, that you, your hair, your nails, your skin, you, are a biologically different person. I wonder how many trims it will take for my hair to forget the feeling of your fingers?

[warrenwaskilledbyadeer]

Can we talk about how the heart and soul of the original Ace Attorney trilogy centers around how Phoenix loves his sister Maya so much he will do literally anything for her but all the fandom wants to talk about is Wrightworth
