I know this has been said so many times in so many different ways, and I have nothing new to add, really. But I am going to say it anyway, because I am just so ridiculously grateful for fanfiction writers. There are innumerable fanfics out there - incredible, mind-blowing stories that are all shared with us for free. Written out of a pure, profound love for existing stories and characters, a need to know them better, explore them, add to them, do something with them the source material never dared. To make ourselves and others feel better, sometimes worse, but mostly just to make us feel.

And don't get me started on the quality of so much of the fanfiction out there. I know talent is an debatable term, but for want of a better one: the sheer talent and dedication of so many of these authors, most of whom have actual, real life jobs and families and other responsibilities, is just astounding. So many ideas, so many beautiful words, so much creativity. As a fanfiction writer myself, I know that it can sometimes be challenging to be creative, to find time and energy to write, when life is just. So much. And yet the love I have for these characters just leaves me desperately wanting to make time and energy to tell the stories I want to tell. Writing fanfiction is a hobby, yes, but for many people, it's also more than a hobby. It's a passion, a deeply rooted desire, even a community.

As a reader, too, I know how incredibly valuable and important these stories can be. I've spent the past few days doing nothing but devouring fic because I've been feeling too crummy to do anything else, and it's been an absolute blessing. Every fic I read was more amazing than the last. They all made me cry, laugh, think, yearn, and just feel so much better. So, I know this has been said many times before, but I just had to tell you again how much I love you, fanfiction writers. Love you with my whole entire, sappy, zero-chill heart.

Thank you for everything you do, all the hours, the blood, sweat and tears, the love you put into your stories, and thank you for sharing them. For just handing them over and releasing them into our custody once they're done, for all of us to read and enjoy, expecting nothing in return but some kudos and comments. That's incredible, ok? You're all incredible, whether your stories are 'popular' or not. So many people would be utterly bereft without you and your efforts, and I just needed to tell you again how appreciated you are ♥️

After meeting at the 20 years high school reunion (for context) they had a quick lil chat and Bucky invited Steve to his gallery opening 💕

A Stucky au (a late birthday gift for the best blogger in this fandom the one that everyone agrees that she holds us together and keeps this place as comfortable and as safe, thank you for everything that you do for us! Love you lots and lots and I apologise for the late gift but unfortunately I still haven't had my wifi fixed and I only had a data subscription yesterday 😭)

Happy belated birthday my dearest @musette22 🎈🎂🥳💛

I—

So, you agree, “I'm with you 'til the end of the line” is romantic?

[montanabohemian]

since i'm back in my stucky feels, i just need to know why they chose "it's been a long long time" to reintroduce bucky to steve. i mean what in the actual fuck were they thinking if they didn't want us to be absolutely unhinged about them?

[buckybarnesss]

Did I tell you this already?? My husband does not believe in Stucky. At all. He's all "no, no, they're just brothers in arms!" and he will NOT listen to reason.

We rewatched the first movie and he was like "There is absolutely no justification, show me exactly where they confess their love for each other."

I've been side-eying him for DAYS. Not believing in Deter is one thing, but denying Stucky???

i'm clutching my metaphorical pearls right now.

stucky was so gay that marvel no homo'd steve rogers into another timeline so i don't understand this denialism. they got super pressed about the get captain america a boyfriend twitter campaign.

alexander avila did not do an "are they gay?" for stucky video for this.

first of all the movie is basically titled steve rogers and bucky barnes..

second of all they have a vow akin to 'till death do us part! it's what brings bucky back in the end. to the end of the line!

third of all steve did his duty on insight and than was prepared to die rather than leave bucky.

achilles decided for patroclus all the trojans should burn. three different times

i'm available for presentations lol

[mintedwitcher]

Don't mind me just sobbing grossly (again) at 5am over "If this is my last breath, I'm leaving with no regrets. I had you, til death."

it's a stucky kinda night and i am suffering

[wanderingandfound]

I may not have much of a memory, but I'm glad I have continuity.

[fsbc-librarian]

Hi!! Can you give the link to the not without you book that you mentioned ? Idk if the one I found was the correct one, so I just wanna make sure

I don’t think you can still purchase the physical book new, but this is the online version

[zenaidamacrouras1]

Are you aware of the Prince and Knight book by Daniel Haack?

There's also a sequel:

Spoiler alert: The Shadow King is not actually evil, just sad because he wants to wear dresses and date men and wasn't allowed to. Important to know because this book deeply troubled my children who could not understand why the Shadow King wasn't allowed to wear dresses and why it was a problem that he loved a squire.

You all are the best! 💖

crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read

and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you

like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors
