My media this week (5-11 Dec 2021)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

😐 The Flowers We Gather (GuilelessAesthete) - 103K, original work - poly a/b/o

😍Winter's Orbit (Everina Maxwell, author; Raphael Corkhill, narrator) - still in love with Kiem & Jainan, in case you wondered

🥰 Chase This Light (leveragehunters (Monkeygreen)) - 58K, Stucky, magical AU, dragon!Bucky, gifted human healer!Steve - sorta-frenemies-to-lovers + 'one's a dragon, the other's what they want to hoard' vibe which I adore + bodyguard duty + there's only one bed = some delicious fucking food

🙂The Pale Horse (Agatha Christie & Michael Bakewell; BBC Radio Full-Cast dramatization)

💖 +233K of shorter fic so shorter work shout out 💖

The Means to Try (AidaRonan) - MCU: Stucky, 18.6K - this was my MTH 2021 gift and I raved about it here but I cannot overstate how much I adored this fic. 😍🥰😍🥰

If I'm Haunting You, You Must Be Haunting Me (mardia) - Knives Out: Marta/Ransom, 34.7K - I super enjoyed this, which envisions an unexpected soulbond and still gives a really satisfying murder mystery.

getting off (on a technicality) (MaddieWritesStucky (Madeleine_Ward)) - Mcu: Stucky, 4.5K - hilarious, sweet & hot little fic about both Bucky & Steve not wanting to fuck on a first date and rules lawyering their way around it. a delightful little amuse-bouche of a fic
