November 2023 Stucky Fics
Completed
Yours, Steve (Rated: G, Words: 9K)
Summary: âIâve been writing a lot lately, yâknow? Sam told me itâd do me good.â âOh yeah? What do you write about?â Steve shrugs, suddenly self-conscious. âStuff about him. How I feel. Stuff that I feel would help him remember, if he ever read them. Itâs... weird. Theyâre letters, you know? Letters for him. Even though I know heâll never read them.â âWell,â Nat says. Thereâs a determined glint in her eyes. âDo you want him to?â Steve blinks, dumbfounded. A smile slowly creeps across his lips. (In which Civil War never happens and Bucky makes a life for himself in Bucharest, tries to heal on his own. Steve waits for him, and writes.)
The Intelligence Nerd and The Avengers (series) by LilyInTheSnow / @lilyinthesnow
Bucky Barnes: Intelligence Nerd (Rated: E, Words: 114K) Summary: How Bucky Barnes accidently became an Avenger and married Steve Rogers. Or some shit like that.
Twitterpated (Rated: M, Words: 12K)
Summary: Steve's POV of Chapters 1-7 of Intelligence nerd. Steve's not twitterpated. Really he's not. Bucky's just a total badass and his future husband is all.
Twenty Minutes in Heaven (Rated: M, Words: 5K) Summary: Bucky's missing twenty minutes from chapter 9? of Bucky Barnes: Intelligence Nerd as told from Steve's POV. Plus a little extra. Pandamonium (Rated: M, Words: 4K) Summary: Bucky has a nightmare. It's pandamonium. xD A Small Matter (Rated: E, Words: 13k) Summary: Steve gets shrunk during a fight with Hydra, but retains everything else the serum gave him. Bucky's not quite sure how to handle Twink!Steve. In the end Twink!Steve handles Bucky. Tony, Bruce, and Doctor Strange have no idea how to fix it and Thor thinks Loki might've had something to do with it. It's fine though. Everything is perfectly fine. Probably. Or: Steve gets shrunk, fucks Bucky's brains out, and they make a trip to Jotunheimen, Norway. Steve might steal Stormbreaker from Thor and they might get chased by a mutant maneating weremoose. They also might get into a drunken snowball fight. Oh, and Loki is there too. Reading Fanfic Pays Off (Rated: E, Words: 16K) Summary: Steve and Bucky from Intelligence Nerd wind up in the Hello Future Husband verse. Barista!Bucky takes Intelligence Nerd!Bucky lingerie shopping and some other stuff happens too. Like maybe Steve gets jealous and bones Bucky against a tree.
***These fics are complete but the series is not. ***
Hello, Future Husband (Rated: E, Words: 20K) by LilyInTheSnow / @lilyinthesnow
Summary: Bucky Barnes might kind of, sort of, be desperately in love with Steve Rogers. Steve might be a little bit oblivious. Bucky might be a little bit desperate. Natasha and Clint decide to help. Kinda. Mostly they just watch and giggle, but whatever. Enter: Lace panties, super tight skinnies that may or may not be cutting off circulation to various parts of Bucky's anatomy, see-through shirts, and a small variety of now visible nipple jewelry. Nipple shields that look like Captain America's shield? Bucky's never heard of 'em. Never seen them before. How'd they get in his jewelry box?
Let me love you (Rated: T, Words: 4K) by thatgreenleaf
Summary: The Winter Soldier keeps trying to shower Steve with affection in the middle of fights. Steve keeps mistaking them for fight moves.
Fantasmic! (Rated: T, Words: 11K) by mambo / @whtaft
Summary: It's Steve's second summer working at Disney World when he meets Prince Charming (aka: Bucky Barnes, college kid from Brooklyn whose ass looks absolutely devastating in his Prince Charming slacks) and maybe starts to feel a little Disney magic in his heart.
I Held You in Gloved Hands (And I���m Not Letting Go) (Rated: E, Words: 48K) by Voylitscope_speed / @voylitscope
Summary: Bucky Barnes jumps at the chance to take a job opportunity hours from home. He's expecting a fresh start and a decent salary jump. He's not expecting to run into his childhood best friend, Steve Rogers, on his first day. The years since they last talked have been hard ones for both of them, but falling back into their friendship is shockingly easy. Despite their time apart, December in this small town might bring them closer than ever. (Or, a holiday romcom in which Bucky reads to children, Steve teaches art, new friendships are made, difficult conversations are had, cookies are baked, way too much coffee is consumed, home is found in surprising places and, eventually, feelings are confessed.)
I Feel Warm with You (Rated: G, Words: 7K) by LelsieSphinx / @kittytheroseofkirea
Summary: 5+1 winters throughout the lives of Steve and Bucky; filled with fun, kisses, wars, separation, reunions and softness.

WIP
Treading Water (Rated: M, Current Words: 261K) by sparkagrace / @sparkagrace & art by Dyslexic_Fetus (Reagy_Jay) / @reagy-jay

next sound of the future has its grip on me . also I spelled hakase's name wrong sorry I'm dyslexic lol
Some info about my NSotF!Haku thoughts!! ^_^ :
Hatsune Miku V??? Model - 89N7 "Haku"
Haku is a former niche idol from an early model release. She never reached the same notoriety as other "legacy" idols, but she cultivated something of a cult fanbase. After just a few performances, Haku's public appearances grew more and more infrequent because, unbeknownst to the public, her faulty production led to a vocal bug which inhibited her ability to sing.
Officially sanctioned voice box surgeries only came to fruition after Haku had left the music industry and though Yamaha offered to repair her voice after she retired, Haku refused; believing that her time had passed and she wanted to find fulfillment outside of the musical arts.
Ever socially anxious, Haku prefers to spend her days outside of the public view, only accompanied by close friends and those she calls family.
#''8'' = ha ''9'' ku ''N'' = November ''7'' = 2007 :)#notes on notes: Haku's version model is listed as ??? because her most accurate model would be V2 as she came out in 2007 but I'm not#sure if V2 models are specifically hatsupress in NSotF#secondly- i made the notes bionic so that hopefully theyre easier to read. I don't typically post paragraphs on my art acc#lmk if it makes it harder to read if anything. i dont have great vision so it definitely made me read faster but i had to squint n whatnot#lavendori art#described#vocaloid#next!!! sound of the future#nsotf#nsotf oc#nsotf_oc#not really???? but idk what else to call her#nsotf fa#nsotf_fa#next sound of the future#yowane haku#haku yowane#gumi megpoid#megpoid gumi#hasake KN7Y#gumiya#gumiya L9Y8#shine 4N01#tech X0T9#hatsune miku#miku hatsune#fanloid#Hatsune Miku ''Shine'' bisexual emoji bisexual emoji bisexual emoji bis

Messy Confession
A brainylyle oneshot
1,728 words
Querl knew it was inevitable.Â
Really, it would have only been a matter of time before Lyle grew aware of the way Querl had been avoiding him as of late. The fact that Lyle was an incredibly observant person aside, it would not take a genius to take note of how he refused to be alone in a room with the other scientist unless absolutely necessary.
Querl wasnât exactly subtle, either, in the way he would only give him short answers when they were forced to talk, keeping all small talk out of their conversation entirely.
Truth be told, it wasnât even something he was doing on a conscious level.
Being around Lyle triggered some sort of strange, illogical response in him. His heart would race, his palms would grow slick with sweat, and breathing became just a little bit more difficult.Â
Talking with the earthling would cause an overwhelming swelling feeling to well up in his chest, clogging his throat and stealing his words away, leaving him to respond in only clipped answers lest he make a stuttering fool of himself.
His eyes were inexplicably drawn to the other man whenever they were in close proximity to each other.
He could stare into those warm, enticing brown eyes for hours as the artificial light of the lab made them sparkle just so, flecks of gold noticeable in their depths if you knew where to look.Â
The smile lines at the corners of his eyes, the dimples on his cheeks, his crooked front tooth, the way his wavey hair fluttered up into the air as he blew a stray strand away whenever it inevitably fell into his face, the way he would stick his tongue out of the corner of his mouth and tilt his head to the side when he concentrated.
Everything about him was intoxicating.
Being around Lyle made him feel vulnerable in a way he never had before and it wasâŚterrifying, to be frank. It was scarier than any monster or foe he had ever had to face in his time as a legionnaire.
Querl couldnât quite understand the strange feeling either. Its origin and meaning both eluded him like the answer to an unsolvable formula that he couldn't even begin to wrap his head around.
So, he did what he knew how to do best when something wasnât working out for him. He abandoned it. Abandoned it so fast he would give Jenni a run for her money. He avoided it like it was a millennium old plague come to haunt him.
That, unfortunately led to where he was now, staring up at Lyleâs angry, pinched expression as the other stood in front of his chair with his arms crossed.
âRemind me again what it is you need in my lab, Norg.â Querl said, trying to keep his voice as monotone as it usually was despite the way his heart stuttered and jumped in his chest.
âThis is our lab, weâve been over this a million times or more. Donât try to detract from the issue at hand, though. Youâve been ignoring me, Brainy.â Lyle said, tilting his head back to stare at him down the length of his nose.
âI simply have nothing to say to you.â Querl responded.Â
Lies, lies, lies.Â
He could talk to Lyle for hours if given the opportunity. The man had similar, if not equal, smarts to his own and Querl marveled at the wonderful ways the humanâs mind worked. He would love to pick his brain until he knew every single one of his thoughts inside and out.
âAnd please refrain from referring to me with that horrid nickname.â He tacked on before he can think better of it.
âRefusing to talk to me and running out of the room every time I enter is way different from having nothing to say, and you know it. Even when we have things to discuss, you send someone else to say it or send me a holo. A holo! Even when weâre in the same room! Especially when weâre in the same sproking room!â Lyle exclaimed, throwing his hands around wildly as emphasis.
âI donât know what you want me to say.â Querl said, mouth as dry as a desert planet. This time he spoke the truth, he really didnât know what to say. He didnât know how to explain to the other man the reasoning behind his behavior. He truly didnât.
âI want you to talk to me! I want you to tell me what I did wrong!â Lyle yelled and Querl startled at the fact that there were tears beginning to well up in his angry eyes, giving them a glossy appearance. âWe got so close after you came back from being missing. I thought we were good friends, but I guess I was wrong because you canât even bring yourself to look in my direction!â
âI-â Querlâs words caught in his throat and he found himself unable to form any. Lyle scoffed after a few painful seconds passed in complete silence, eyes red and glassy from the effort it took to hold in his tears as he turned away to walk out of the lab.
âI donât know what I expected. Iâll go talk to Jasmine about moving me to a temporary lab while we figure something long term out.â He said bitterly, voice shaking.
Querl watched him go helplessly, throat thick and heart thumping behind his ribs. A sense of panic overcame him as Lyle disappeared through the door.
He should want this, right? If Lyle moved out of the lab he would no longer have to make an effort to avoid him. He could more effectively ignore whatever it was that he felt when he was around him. He could pretend he never existed.
But, for some reason, that single notion was the most dreadful thought in the world to him.
Querl was on his feet and out the door before another thought could even form in his mind. The halls were empty as he stumbled to a stop in the doorway, hand gripping the frame as he looked in both directions desperately. He didnât know what it was, but something in his gut just told him to go left, and so he did.
âLyle, wait-!â He exclaimed, reaching a hand out to the empty space in front of him.
To his shock and wonder Lyle materialized right in front of him, his glistening eyes wide and surprised. Querlâs fingers were mere inches away from Lyleâs chest.Â
Despite his fear that this was a horrible, awful idea, he reached down to snatch Lyleâs hand and pressed it to the left side of his chest, right over his rapidly beating heart. Lyle looked down at where Querlâs shaky hands held his own against the thundering heartbeat and then back up at Querlâs eyes, mouth agape and eyebrows furrowed.
âQuerl, what are you-â Lyle started, voice still watery
âThis is what I feel when Iâm with you. And Iâm powerless to stop it.â Querl cut him off, voice shaking with his nerves. âIâve never felt weak, Lyle Norg, not until I met you.â
âWhat are you trying to say right now?â He asked hesitantly, maybe even hopefully.
âI am saying that youâve done the unthinkable.â Querl said, and then he took a deep breath, preparing himself for the words that would next leave his mouth. âI think that, perhaps, you have made me fall in love.â
Lyleâs eyes blew open so wide they looked as though they may pop from their sockets. His fingers curled against Querlâs chest, bunching up the fabric in his hold. Querl avoided his eyes, cold sweat rolling down the back of his neck. He took tiny, measured breaths as the anxiety of the situation attempted to strangle him where he stood.
He was, himself, shocked by the admittance. Love? He didnât know such things, or at least, he didnât think he did. But when he thought about it, really thought about it, it made sense. This strange, unidentifiable feeling deep down in his heart, it was love, wasnât it? Love and infatuation, an unmatched adoration for the brilliant man before him.
A light chuckle reached his ears and he looked up, heart sinking with dread at the sound as he prepared to be mocked for his utterly foolish confession. Instead, he was met with a shocking sight.
Lyle was looking at him with tears rolling down his face in earnest now. Despite this, though, he had a wide, bright smile on his face and those watery eyes were full of an emotion that Querl now recognized as love. Love that was directed at Querl. Lyleâs lopsided, tear stained smile was the most radiant and beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life.
âYou are such a sproking idiot.â Lyle said, voice cracking at the end. He sniffled and pulled Querl into a hug by the hand holding his front. His next words, muffled partially by the way his face was buried into the crook of Querlâs neck and whispered almost too low for him to hear, made his heart skip a beat. âI think, maybe, I love you too.â
Slowly, he hugged the other scientist back, his ears flushed deeply. He leaned his head against the side of Lyleâs, his heart still fluttering in his chest.
âI-I donât know what to do with these feelings.â He further admitted.
âObviously,â Lyle scoffed wetly into his shoulder, chuckling a little.
âWhat does this make us now?â Querl asked, holding onto the other a little bit tighter in anticipation of his answer.Â
He didnât know what kind of response he wanted. Boyfriends, partners, lovers; all of these words, they all sounded a little too daunting at that moment.
He just barely figured out what that nebulous feeling was, it all felt like it was moving far too fast. Lyle pulled back from his semi-desperate hold, his hand coming up to cup Querlâs cheek as he searched his eyes.
âIt doesnât have to make us anything yet,â Lyle said, âWe can figure out what to do with these feelings together, take it one step at a time. Experiment with it, if you will.â
Querl leaned into the gentle touch, his own hand coming up to hold Lyleâs wrist.Â
âI think I would like that.â
#brainylyle#lyle norg#querl dox#inkywriting#i napped ate and read some orion and now i can finally post this#everyone look away its so corny đ#i vaguely remember talking about a hc a while ago that querl has the uncanny ability to know where Lyle is even when he's invisible#his lyle senses#some of the dialogue is from a writing prompt list#but i lost that prompt list last november so don't ask about it đŹ

Potential November Reads
In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden
The Everlasting Man by G.K. Chesterton
Something by Charles Dickens
A nonfiction book
A piece of classic Russian literature
#monthly reading list#books#i've decided to make both lists because i'm in a 'obsess over all the options' mood#and this gets it out of my head#i've already mentioned brede#i plan to stick with it#i'm a couple chapters in and liking it so far#i've ordered 'everlasting man' from the library so i won't have to read my copy with horrendously small print#(after reading h.g. wells and seeing how nonsensical his view of human nature is from a christian perspective)#(i decided i needed to read chesterton's rebuttal to wells)#i've got dickens on here because despite spending october reading almost exclusively victorians#i came out of the month wanting to read some dickens#november has *strong* associations with 'great expectations' so i've got to see if some other dickens will satisfy the craving#if nothing else i got a volume of his christmas novellas out from the library and i may just have to give one a go#i need to read some nonfiction again (essays/apologetics don't count)#a top contender right now is 'the guns of august' because i found a used copy a couple months ago#and wwi is the perfect november nonfiction (oh that reminds me i should finish 'a hilltop on the marne')#and after reading victorians all month i need to read some classic literature from another country#and winter is a very russian-lit time of year#(the victober wrap up is coming btw)#(it's just that concisely summarizing these reading experiences takes a lot of time)

Skyler's October 2024 AO3 Recs
Boysssss, I have been slacking with sharing other people's fics, so I'm gonna work on being better with that. Below the cut is a non-exhaustive list of fics I've started/finished in October 2024 (i.e. all the ones that didn't get too buried in my AO3 history page and aren't PWP) that I enjoyed. I tried to sort fics from least to most traffic, so the higher on each list, the more it deserves some attention!
I didn't read a ton this month, so we've got a pretty short list. Expect the same in November, but December is usually a big reading month for me.
I enjoy stuff others find triggering, so particularly in the whump-focused section, make sure you read the tags first. I didn't relist triggers that the authors already noted on the stories.
More Whump-Focused
Since October's weird because of Whumptober, I'm just going to link to my whumptober reblogs tag to knock all the Whumptober fills out! I liked all of these, but there are far too many to go into detail on. You'll find a lot of shorter fics under this tag because I mainly follow people who tried to complete every day. It's mostly VLD in there, but I know a few FMA fics made it through! If you're as much of a Keith stan as I am, definitely hit all of @perpetuallylatetothefandomparty's posts under this tag. There are more than what I reblogged for everyone in this tag as well, so follow these people for more! I just burned out halfway through the month and needed a break from oneshots. You'll see 'em reblogged later though.
Swoon by Le_Tournesol: pre-Klance. short oneshot. chaotic dumbasses keith and lance, my beloved.
Even the People in Your Dreams Will Lie to You by popering: Klance, but the ship's not so much the focus imo. LONG. technically, I did NOT find this in October but I haven't hyped it up nearly enough yet, so here it is anyway. also, I re-read it in October, so maybe that counts. follows keith and lance being rescued from galra captivity. the author describes it as a science fiction mindfuck and that is so accurate. plenty of angsty content, but not like... over the top. like it all has a plot purpose. this may have usurped my previous all-time favorite fic... unfinished but I have no reason to believe OP won't come through with the rest, and it is close to complete. catch me in the comments as I work on my re-read.
The Future Freaks Me Out by gghostnebula: Klance. longfic. I forget how long ago I found this, but it COUNTS because I read it again this month. (I say as though I don't reread it every few months obsessively.) when I say my ideal fic... very Keith-focused. lots of hurt/comfort. slowburn Klance with fake dating. painful backstory that gets resolved. somehow takes a couple tropes I hate and makes me love them. heavily inspired something i'm writing now, so if you don't like it, you're gonna have a bad time following me in a few months... if this fic has no diehard fans then i am dead.
More Ship-Focused
To Whom It May Concern by heavily_caffeinated: Klance. short. a follow-up fic to Dear Reader in the relatively near future! modern AU. Cute & a nice little chance to get back into that AU for a bit. Strongly recommend reading Dear Reader first, but I guess you don't have to.
to breathe in this mirage by existwound: Klance, but pre-slash (sort of). there's time travel, so technically it's also not pre-slash, but you see the vision here. pushing that border between what I consider medium and long for a fic. canon-verse. this is 1) adorable, 2) just that little bit of angsty, and 3) so fucking well-written. (am I biased bc I love existwound? yes, what of it?) unfinished but I trust Astra with my life, so the other chapter will come.
A King and His Fisherman by heavily_caffeinated: Klance. long and finished! modern AU. sold me on dad Lance (coming from someone who typically hates fics involving child characters).
it's you that's haunting me by perfchan: Klance. long and finished! this is the first fic, but it's a whole finished series. ghost-hunting AU (I know, I also didn't think I liked those but this is different, I swear). I binge read this whole series in like... 3 days?
And just in general, here are my AO3 bookmarks for everything else I loved but didn't read this month. The include and exclude filters are your friends, so pls no bully for what I like thx. I think we've all spotted my weird niche by now.
#fic recs#anyway i know it's been literal years but this used to be a blog mostly about hyping up other people's hurt/comfort fics so#putting this monthly post into effect is a part of getting back to that#though i'm still gonna harass you all with excessive vld fics of my own don't you worry#i just like having stuff like this bc 1) it makes other people feel good and#2) it stops me from getting that 'useless' feeling when i'm in my 'don't feel like writing' phases bc i DO still read during those!#also okay so i used to exclude popular fics entirely from stuff like this but like#just because they're popular doesn't mean everyone knows about them yet so#on the list they go i suppose#okay tag rambling over. catch me again at the end of november

My schedule has begun to clear up...
... just in time for Christmas preparations đ
I AM FINE. I WILL POWER THROUGH WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF TIME.
--
At the same time, I've been pleasantly busy đĽ°đ I met a friend and one of my co-hosts for Ikemen Flash Exchange. (I still can't believe my luck). I'm studying for uni. Some progress is being made on my projects, both in terms of writing and other crafts. I'll be meeting another friend from abroad next month.
Life is good, broski. Life really is good.
I hope you're keeping warm!
Lorei

Possible November Reading
Emma by Jane Austen
The Heir of Redclyffe by Charlotte M. Yonge
Sylvia's Lovers by Elizabeth Gaskell
Something by Wilkie Collins
Something nonfiction
A book about bookshops
#books#monthly reading lists#i'm being conservative about putting things on this list#because november vibes call for long complicated books#plus a lot of the things i'm craving are very vague categories#that could just be things i pick up on a whim anyhow#i'm also leaving off books i need to finish up from past months#because november's list demands its own books#tbh when november rolls around i just constantly crave 'great expectations' and 'plenilune'#and i'm not interested in rereading either i just want the same vibes as those first reads#i have high hopes for 'sylvia's lovers' to fill the 'great expectations' niche#but plenilune's such an odd mishmash i can't even define what category of book would match that vibe#and yes that last category is on the list because of my inklings challenge story
