K or N for Joe and/or Nicky

K. On the edge of consciousness.

Yusuf wakes slowly, so slowly that he can’t see and isn’t even sure he can open his eyes, only half-sure he still has eyes, and that’s how he knows there’s something very, very wrong. He can’t move, can’t hear, can’t even smell anything. He doesn’t remember exactly what happened to him, but every part of him is burning, and he’s fairly sure the weird aching sensation in his head is his skull knitting itself back together, which. He really, really didn’t need to know what that feels like. 

There’s a scraping in his chest when he breathes in, but at least he’s breathing. 

Where is he? He could be anywhere. He could be in the middle of the street, could have been dragged away from the fighting from someone who had seen him breathing through a wound that should have killed him immediately. When he wakes, what will he find? Will they have taken his weapon? How long has he been dead? 

Will Nicolò be able to find him, if they are separated? Will he even try?

Slowly but steadily, he starts to hear something: a high pitched whistling that sounds like it’s coming from deep inside his own head. The darkness begins to lift, leaving flickering amber lights across his vision, and a shadow in front of him. 

There’s a voice, too, one that sharpens into words as Yusuf’s hearing begins to return. He doesn’t understand their meaning, but the cadence of them and the voice itself is familiar. 

“Are you awake?” Nicolò asks softly, switching to Arabic. 

Yusuf tries to make a sound in response. Whether it’s audible he doesn’t know, because the only noise he can really make is a rasping exhale, but Nicolò hushes him anyway.

“Do not… you can be slow,” Nicolò says. He’s more comfortable with the sounds of the language now, but still doesn’t always string sentences together well. “We are safe. I am here.”

He’s made aware of where his hand is by the feeling of Nicolò reaching for it. Yusuf manages to make an actual sound this time, but still can’t form words. Nicolò squeezes his hand gently. 

“I am here,” he says again. 

Eventually, Yusuf’s skull seems to piece itself back together fully, and his vision sharpens, letting him see that they’re backed into the corner of the two remaining intact walls of a house ravaged by fire, Nicolò crouched in front of him with his sword in hand. There’s a trail of blood leading to where Yusuf is lying now, and a section of the room that has collapsed. He can piece together enough. Nicolò would have had to drag him over here.

This time, he manages to make a sound, even if he can’t quite form words. Nicolò looks down at him over his shoulder, and there is blood on his face and in his hair, and only then does Yusuf notice the bodies in the room. 

“Okay?” Nicolò asks. 

Yusuf manages to nod, and it sends a spike of pain along his spine. Nicolò turns slightly to look at him properly. 

“You are almost done, I think,” he says. “You did not… you were asleep for a long time. I did not know if…”

“Nicolò,” Yusuf finally manages, hoarse.

“Rest,” Nicolò says. “I am here.”

[esp-ae]

what a teeny weenie lanky boy. a disheveled urchin of the streets and alleyways. a magnanimous mousy mollusk of musk. a miniature micro mogul of virtue and Victorian hunger. a satin braggart of mirth and joy, teedling her toddles through life in the highest order of munchkins.

pondering the reconciliation of her grand machinations, those foul schemes she concocted in the name of the world’s demise. An apprehensive demon of destruction and perilous destiny. Scraggling her scriggles through life in a determined march like a game of volleyball.

A cantankerous, cruel and callous curmudgeon of crime and corruption- cursing the world as she teedles her terrifying toddles of pestilence and war.

@scriggle-scraggle suggested it might be “the life of Bucky Barnes” by stephrc79 which sounds like it could possibly be it!

Hello. I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I was wondering if you could help me out? I read a fic a while ago about Bucky using social media to document his recovery, not really caring about the number of followers. It was something that he did for himself and one day when he looks he sees that he has a million or more followers. It was a Stucky fic and was really sweet. I was wondering if you could help me find it? I seem to have lost it

Hi there! 💗

I’m not entirely sure I know the fic you mean - it sounds sort of familiar but I’m mostly blanking? There’s a chance it could be this: introducing mister and mister united states but it doesn’t seem to 100% fit your description.

Maybe one of my followers will know? (If you do, please let us know!!) I know how annoying it is to lose a fic 😭, so hopefully someone will see this and help you out anon!

Thank you so much! There are so many great stories in this list. I've read a lot of them. Some, like Easy Work for Easy Pay and If Only You Could See Me (Like the Pie that I Am) are favourites that I only haven't recced because of how popular they are. You and a Test of Will is one that I reread recently. It is brilliant, although I felt bruised afterwards. There are so many great authors on this list, but also a few titles/authors I don't recognise and am excited to check out.

For the writer ask meme: 3, 11, 12 for The Pride

Aw, nice, thank you! The Pride Pact, cheesy meet-cute AU of my heart.

3. Any deleted scenes that didn't make it into the fic?

Nope! I wrote this one in chronological order and 100% by the seat of my pants, just grooving with where it decided to take me. Never had anything extraneous to delete. (That's pretty normal for me, though -- it's rare that I write entire scenes and then delete them later. It definitely happens, but not often.)

11. What happens to these characters 2, 5, 10 years later?

You know, normal stuff. IDK, these are the most real-world-normal versions of the TOG characters I've ever written. Nicky and Joe definitely move in together way too quickly, probably within a couple of months. Joe switches career paths a couple of times, trying to figure out a way to make a living in the arts a little more directly. Nile bullies them into holding their wedding reception at the Guard and is genuinely surprised and thrilled when they actually follow through. She and Celeste probably shack up at some point. Lykon finishes his degree and becomes a social worker, but keeps pulling bar shifts anyway because he enjoys it and likes the excuse to hang out with Andy and Quynh. Everything is soft and occasionally stressful because that's what real life is but they all stay friends and stuff. Just nice happy things, IDK.

12. Pick a scene and give writer's commentary on your thoughts.

OH GOD HOW DO I EVEN

fine

Once in the cab, he ignores Joe as best he can, resting his head against the window. The glass feels cool against his face. Finally, Joe breaks the silence. "I'm sorry," he says. "I don't know what I said that pissed you off so much, but whatever it was, I am sorry."

"Okay," Nicky tells the window, still not looking at him.

"Nicky." When he doesn't respond, Joe reaches out to rub Nicky's shoulder. "C'mon, please. I don't think you've ever been mad at me before, and I really want to make it right. This sucks."

Nicky considers shrugging him off, but realizes he's already leaning into Joe's touch in spite of himself. "It's nothing, it's stupid. I'll probably forget about it in the morning anyway."

"I won't, though. Please, Nicky, just talk to me—"

"I just wish you would stop bringing up the damn Pride pact," Nicky says, all in a rush, knowing exactly how ridiculous he must sound. "Like—it's fine, whatever, I know you and I are never going to…" He swallows and shakes his head. "I've made my peace with it. But you don't need to keep reminding all our friends exactly how unfuckable you think I am."

Joe freezes, his grip on Nicky's shoulder tightening. "That's not—"

"I know that is not how you intend it," Nicky says quietly. "It's just a joke at this point, but that's how it feels, so. I wish you wouldn't."

So, like, it's no secret that the Pride pact is based on an actual agreement I made (at Pride) with the woman who is now my wife, because we were the only two queer women in a social group dominated by gay men. (Very little else about the fic is based on RL, but the basic premise, yes.) Anyway. The way SHE tells it, she'd tried to chat me up a few times at that point, but I was clearly not interested, so she proposed the pact as a way to prove that we could just be friends and I wouldn't have to worry about her Making It Weird. From my perspective, I legit had no idea she was interested and felt very Warned Off by the way she shot me down out of absolutely nowhere when we weren't even flirting or anything. But whatever, it's all good.

Fast forward a couple of years. We're still just friends. She still brings up the pact as a joke among our friends on the regular, and at one point I get drunk with a mutual friend and rant about it to him for like an hour because, like, I haven't had a date in ages and there are still only a bare handful of other female-identified folks in our friend group and I would really appreciate it if my ONE friend who is also inclined towards women would stop reminding all of our mutual friends exactly how unfuckable she finds me. (Unbeknownst to me, the reason she keeps mentioning it is because she is solidly crushing on me at this point and is overcompensating because she still doesn't want to make it weird.)

That conversation between Nicky and Joe? We never actually had it. Because it honestly wound up not being relevant by the time we got together in real life, and it was just that one random night I got really ticked off about it -- it's not something I was genuinely upset by, it had just been a weird night and I'd been in a shitty mood. But that's my imagining of how much more quickly we might have gotten our shit together if we'd ever actually TALKED ABOUT IT like freaking grownups. Living vicariously through fictional characters, folks!

(Other fun fact: my wife reads almost all my fic before I post it these days. When she got to that scene, she was like OH MY GOD IS THAT WHAT YOU THOUGHT THE WHOLE TIME and it was legitimately hilarious.)

for the Fanfic Ask Meme - a: How did you come up with the titles to the stories in the 25 seconds 'verse, X: A character you enjoy making suffer & Y: A character you want to protect.

for the Fanfic Ask Meme -

a: How did you come up with the titles to the stories in the 25 seconds ‘verse:

Okay, well the titles for this series come almost entirely from variations of the lyrics to the song 25 Seconds by Mandy Kane. It is a brilliant song, and one of the lines is “dead man’s grin” which I took to use for the title of the first story. All the titles following were inspired by lyrics from the song, a lot is me mashing various lines together to make up titles that I thought would sound good, and others are almost direct copies of lines from the songs. Both Heaven’s Bouncers and Suicide is a Pastime are probably the two that diviate the most from the actual song, but are still well and truly inspired by/borrow from the song.

X: A character you enjoy making suffer: all of them? It’s probably very obvious from my writing that I enjoy making Jake Jensen suffer. I’m so mean to him. It’s terrible. I really should stop and be nicer.

Y: A character you want to protect: Pretty much every character from The Ultimates ever. I have this undying need to give Ults Steve and Tony happy/hopeful moments, even if I have to be mean to them to get to that point.

Hopefully that answers the questions. Thanks for the ask :)

For the mash-up: 94. Hair Brushing/Braiding & 100. Accidentally Saving the Day Cougar/Jensen

Not going to lie, this was the trickiest of all the mash-ups and I’m not even sure why? I think it’s because I automatically try to make it into some big, epic story when, really, it doesn’t have to be. That’s just me being an over-achiever.

To be honest, I’ve always wanted to write a fic where JJ braids Cougar’s hair. I have no idea why I haven’t done that already and I need to find a fic to add that into at my earliest convenience.

ANYWAY! More about the story below the cut! (this one is a lot shorter than most of these, but still — I don’t want to cover your entire dash).

To put it simply, I would turn this into the fluffiest ficlet that ever ficletted (that’s probably not a word, but let’s just roll with it). Like, just mountains of fluff and casual touching and Cougar and Jensen being their usual selves, i.e. so close and in sync and stupidly in love without daring to admit it. 

Like, they both LIVE for those little touches and keep telling themselves that it’s normal — at least normal for them — and it’s no big deal. Because of course best friends like to sit close whenever they can and always turn to each other for comfort. And Cougar is only trying to help those times when he ends up standing behind JJ’s computer chair, gently rubbing the soreness out of his neck until Jensen is boneless and pliant underneath his hands. And Jensen is used to helping Beth with his hair so he doesn’t mind combing Cougar’s for him — it’s not at all that he loves how Cougar relaxes into it, trusting and just so content that JJ’s chest feels tight with love and longing. Or those soft noises of pleasure he makes when JJ braids it for him. Of course not.

To be honest, I think I’d write this from an outside POV, just to make it all the more obvious how stupid they’re being. Also, pining can come across really well from an outside POV (and I’d like to practice on it). So, like, Jess, Clay, or Pooch’s POV, I think? Or all of them. One each! Plus one with Cougar in the beginning (to set up the scene) and the final one from Jensen’s POV (because that one should be from one of theirs, because of story climax reasons). So five short chapters.

As for the accidental saving of the day, I think it would be something simple and in line with the fluffy atmosphere. Like, Cougar accidentally ending up coaching The Petunias to a victory they hadn’t expected. Just... something cute and sweet that will make JJ fall in love even more and make him want to burst with the need to pull Cougar close and kiss him.

And he’ll end up doing that, later, when they’re back at Jess’s house and everyone else has gone to bed and JJ just can’t take it anymore. He’s so in love with Cougar it hurts and he knows he might ruin everything but he can’t hold it back anymore. They’re alone, the house quiet, and Cougar wishes him goodnight with that soft, fond smile of his and JJ just reacts without thinking. A hand behind Cougar’s neck and a slight tug is all it takes and suddenly their kissing, Cougar’s lips warm against Jensen’s.

Naturally, Cougar is stunned for a second, but then just melts into it because yes, this is what he’s wanted for years. As if he’s going to say no?

So they kiss and confess and all is well and happy and fluffy. Because that’s how I roll and I think we all need more fluff in our lives.

Fucking fight me.

(except, you know, don’t)

Aaaaand yeah. That’s what I would do. Perhaps a bit of a letdown after the huge, sprawling epics I’ve spawned for other mash-ups, but, uh, yeah. I just love my fluff, okay?

[youssefguedira]

Lucia fic no. 2 💜💜💜💜💜

i have GOT to get back to this fic its just . well there's a lot of emotions in there. but what i HAVEN'T previously mentioned is the actual framing of the fic, i.e. it doesn't all take place in the past!! for example:

It's not until late afternoon, when Andy is napping in the other room, that Nicky brings up the reason for their visit. The TV is chattering away softly in the background, some drama show she's too tired to watch, though she’s getting better at understanding the rapid Italian. Joe'd pulled the curtains open to let the sun in a little while ago, casting a square of golden light on the terracotta tiles, and is now seated in one of the armchairs, sketching in a little black notebook, glancing up at the TV every now and then. 

“Nile,” Nicky starts. “There is something I would like to show you tomorrow, if you will let me.” 

“Sure,” Nile says, shifting position – she'd been starting to drift off in the afternoon sunlight. “What is it?” 

“There is a village, a few hours' drive from here,” he says. “I know Booker” – and here Joe's shoulders tense, just a little – “told you about his family already, but I would like the chance to tell you about mine. Only if you want to hear it, of course.” 

Nile wonders if that's why Andy had argued with him about this. She's been carefully avoiding thinking about her family for too long; Copley had handled it, sure, but that doesn't mean Nile doesn't still wish with every part of her that she could go home, even if it was just once. 

“Yeah,” she says. She could use getting out of the house anyway.

Nicky relaxes, just a little. “We can leave in the morning,” he says. “Eight?”

Nile nods. 

The next morning, Joe and Nicky are already in the kitchen when Nile gets up, talking to each other quietly in Italian. She doesn’t even bother to listen in, still a little too tired to process another language right now, but she catches the odd word that’s close enough to Spanish or French for her to understand. 

There’s two thermoses on the kitchen table already, and a little plate of pastries, possibly bought from the bakery a few streets over that Joe had mentioned yesterday; Nicky stands when she enters.

“Ready?” he asks. 

Nile nods. 

“Domenico’s is closed,” Joe says to Nicky. “I checked yesterday. But there’s a place not far from where it used to be.” His expression softens, then, and there’s something almost sad about the way he looks at Nicky when he says, “Bring her something from me?”

Nicky nods. Joe catches hold of his wrist as he walks past, kisses his palm. Nicky shudders for a moment, then leans down to knock their foreheads together briefly, eyes closed like he's bracing himself for something. It’s the most physical affection Nile’s ever seen them show towards each other: of course, they’re never that far from each other, but they’re not usually like this, at least not in front of her. She can’t help but wonder.

“You’re not coming?” Nile asks. 

Joe shakes his head. “Not this time.”

Again, she wonders. But then Nicky passes her one of the thermoses and a couple pastries in a paper bag, and they head out. 

It’s not until they’re out of the city and on the autostrada after a quick stop at a florist’s that leaves Nile with even more questions, and she’s halfway through her thermos of coffee, that Nicky says, “I had a sister.”

For the fanfic asks: Stone Through Clear Water, 1 & 6

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way? Listen, this fic literally came about because I was restless and I wanted to write porn, and I took requests. I was asked for frottage and body-conscious, and it was hella fun to write.

6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics? ... it’s just porn, man. I write a lot of porn, idk if y’all’ve noticed. (But I did enjoy Baze being self-conscious and Chirrut reassuring him.)

The same person has a picture with Mackie! Mackie's in Boston too! I wonder if Chris and Anthony are hanging out together.

I saw and reblogged!!!!

And I honestly can’t IMAGINE that they’re not in Boston together.  Anthony’s probably in Chris’ suite at Fenway, drinking all the beer. :D

Hi there! Firstly, thank you for all that you do! If possible, I was wondering if you could help me find this fic: I'm pretty sure it's post winter soldier, and steve is at a gala/party thing. Eventually somehow bucky shows up (or something, somehow) and they leave, going to a bathroom to talk (?). None of the other avengers know that Bucky is there, except maybe sam or natasha?? Also there was really nice art in it too, and it wasn't too long either. Thanks again!

Hey there's this really good one. They don't meet until ca:ws and steve is really depressed and he sleeps with bucky because he thinks he'd kill him. It has all the avengers and is just about them and bucky dealing with and helping steve and his depression. Thank you!

It was a post-Endgame stucky fic but Steve regrets his decision, he comes back but disguised as an old man. Avengers know he's not old. Bucky has apparently moved on with his life but Steve is sad and depressed and loses weight etc. There's some sub/dom going on with subSteve and domBucky...oh and they go on a mission and Bucky gets injured and Steve panics and jumps out of the helicopter or something...

(part 1 of this ask never arrived) -cont- And when the Avengers went back to the tower, they were stunned (?) to realized that Pepper and Bucky has singlehandedly defeated the Hydra agents. I remember one of the Avengers (Steve?) suggest that Bucky and the kids should go into hiding. But Bucky insists that if they run, they’re going to keep running. Pepper agreed and said that they should bring the fight to Hydra’s doorstep (or sth like that?)
