I, N, Y

I - Someone beat you to it, friendo.

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

Oh my God, I wish someone would write all my fic ideas for me! I have a couple of real corkers that I’d love to read.

I do sort of wish someone else could take on my fake marriage fic Marriage of Inconvenience, because in the right hands it would be hilarious.

Y: A character you want to protect.

I’ll admit, feel a bit possessive of Peggy sometimes, because I was writing her long before Agent Carter was even thought of. But she doesn’t need protecting by anyone, least of all me. ;)

1, 16, 34, 50

1. First things first, did you have a good year?It was... okay. Not the worst on a personal level, but it wasn't great either. I had really good moments, especially end of the year proved to be quite pleasantly surprising. Unfortunately, there were also some disappointments and health issues.

16. What food did you try for the first time?Real curry. I know for many of you it's weird that I haven't tried it ever before, but I live in a small town and we don't have Indian restaurant here. It's a surprise we have a sushi place. Anyway, wonderful Trish ( @ninety-threepercentstardust) made me real curry when we met in February :)

34. Did you have to cut ties to someone?Hmm, no. Some ties just loosened, but there was no harsh ending of any relationship.

50. What do you wish for yourself?Most of all for good health. There are a few appointments and check ups this upcoming year that make me a little scared, so I keep my fingers crossed that it goes well.

To stay happy and have the support of family and friends that I have now.

And to have the strength to deal with the new boss I'm gonna have starting July - doctor dick.

@steggyisimmortal replied to your post “Has anyone ever been able to find the red framed sunglasses Peggy wore...”

Sometimes the things you know are truly astounding. Thanks for being so thorough with so many random Peggy Carter/Steggy things :)

Don’t make me blush! ^^ Thank you!!! I love to help if I can. :)

7 sentences

Rules: go to page 7 of your WIP, go down to the 7th line, copy the next 7 sentences, then tag 7 people to do the same. I was tagged by @roboticonography.

Okay, I currently have two WIP documents that have a page 7, so I’m going to do them both.

This is from my fake dating WIP:

Peggy laughed out loud. “Yes, I’d stack them up against Private Hodge any day.” Steve grinned, picturing it, and she grinned back, clearly picturing it too.

“So how - ” Steve asked after a moment, then stopped. “How are we going to - ”

Peggy was considering him thoughtfully. “Have you ever actually kissed a girl?” she asked, finally.

And this is from the next chapter of “A Stutter in Time”:

Steve turned to Peggy. “Being pregnant seems to make you kinda fast and loose with the confidential information, Carter.”

“He’s not wrong,” said Sharon with a grin. “Aunt Peggy would never have let that slip accidentally.” She looked down at her tea cup. “At least not until the last few years.”

Peggy brought her own cup to her lips.

I’m tagging @invidiosa, @teaandatale, @thesokovianaccords, @steggyisimmortal, @bitememarvelcanon, and anyone else who might want to do it (I’m missing two, so jump in there! :)

Pray You Catch Me

by steggyisimmortal

“And how is that any different from this situation?” she asked, her voice deathly quiet.

They stared at one another in a stalemate. As much as Peggy wanted Howard to stay quiet she wanted him to keep digging his grave. It had been ages since their last real fight. They usually blew over in a few days. She didn’t feel the same happening to this time. This felt worse. Damaging. This wasn’t just a passing idea she could talk him out of. It wasn’t just a device he hadn’t realized had explosive properties. It wasn’t a business deal he blew off because he didn’t like the deal on the table.

This was playing god for the highest bidder.

6, 10, 39 for the X Files asks

6. 1993 Gillian or 2017 Gillian? 

2017 (or present) Gillian. She’s mature, her message is strong and consistent, she doesn’t take crap. She’s still beautiful and I can’t stop looking at her.

10. Who is your favorite character aside from Mulder and Scully? 

Tough call. Probably a toss-up between Skinner and Doggett. Rule followers who have a soft spot for Scully. Followed very closely by all of the Lone Gunmen.

39. When do you think Mulder and Scully first started dating? 

Around or after Millennium. I have no real explanation for it. That’s pretty much always been my head canon.

Thanks for asking!

STEGGY FANFIC READING CHALLENGE

~  * ~  * ~  * ~

Agent Carter

Tactical Insertion by TriplePirouette / @3pirouette

One of the best and loveliest executions of ‘Steve in Agent Carter timeline’. So gracefully weaving Steve into Peggy’s adventures, adding extra layers of feels.

~ * ~

Fred Wells

‘S Wonderful, ‘S Marvelous by @teaandatale

I should be angry at this fic for a false promise of great romantic experience if you go for a work-related retreat, but can’t help squashing your own desires down when you get to read about Peggy getting it. And right in front of Fred’s punchable face. 

~ * ~

On the run

Make a run for it by @rachlovesligers

It’s not the kind of escape you expect, but perhaps because of it it’s actually extra dramatic? I mean, it’s both Peggy and Steve joining forces, so theatrics are involved. 

~ * ~

Sweet Dreams lipstick

this knockout ficlet by @roboticonography

A classic on the topic. I’d even dare to say the classic. 

~ * ~

Edwin Jarvis and Ana Jarvis

Foolish by chasingkerouac

Good thing Edwin and Ana are here to save the day when misadventures happen. Their appearance is maybe small here, but I like this kind of accidental first meetings. 

~ * ~ 

What if

Where you go (I’ll follow) by svgurl410

Because I always loved them ending up together, no matter the universe. 

~ * ~ 

SHIELD

The Director you wish to reach is unavailable at the moment by @doctorhelena

This is the kinda petty and maybe unhealthy way of coping, but if a  grand and important career fucks up private life you have to fuck it out of your system. Seriously though, it’s a surprisingly emotional argument leads to sex (and SHIELD is to blame for the anger).

~ * ~ 

Canon Compliant

Queen of the 107th by Fyre

What’s more canon compliant than showing Howlies in awe of Peggy, her winning the canonically certified pushup contest, and Steve supporting her all the way.

~ * ~ 

Steve doesn’t crash

And the sun hits ground by @steggyisimmortal

Okay, so this one is a stretch - not a cheat, but a stretch! Steve does crash, but he’s found soon after. I took this category as “how would things go if Steve didn’t crash into ice for 70 years”, so it may as well be read as such, because the impact of him being MIA only for a few months is different than him being gone almost a century.

~ * ~ 

Sam Wilson

The honeymoon phase by @roboticonography

Sam probably enjoys the hilarity of it all, having some laugh at Steve’s expense, but I also think he deserves some more good treats for dealing with his friend’s craze. This level of amused-but-exasperated reminds me of the time I had a talk with my bff who was freaking out about “partially” losing her virginity... don’t ask. 

~ * ~ 

The right partner

The right partner by @steggyisimmortal

Come on, I couldn’t not go for that one. It even has a fitting title! And an even more fitting plot that will make you all carry watermelons to join the party (lol, sorry for the lame joke, but since this fic is based on Dirty Dancing it had to be done).

~ * ~ 

Colonel Phillips

Happy accident by Shatterpath

It has one of those enjoyable harsh-but-supportive portrayals of Phillips. And the story itself reads smoothly, giving lots of feels.

~ * ~ 

Reread an old fave

You can’t take the sky from me by @indiefic

I will use any excuse to reread that story. This is my fic. All time fave. My true love of all fics. My preciousss. I will be buried with a printed copy of it. 

~ * ~ 

Steve’s blood

Slim chances and mad decisions by alianora

Mostly sad and angsty, but isn’t everything that has to deal with the last vial of Steve’s blood?

~ * ~ 

Soulmate AU

Soulmarks series by @formerlyir

How could I not pick this one up? The choice was obvious. It was the first that came to my mind when I read “soulmate AU”. Like that time Evans and Scarlett were asked about who’s the hottest and before the question was even finished Chris blurted out “Hemsworth!” That was my brain with this fic when seeing the category.

~ * ~

Natasha Romanoff

this ficlet by @lavellenchanted

So Natasha isn’t even personally present, but it’s her that becomes the focus and instigates some confessions. Nat’s powerful like that. 

~ * ~ 

One timeline

Time heals all wounds by @indiefic

I’d say it’s a punch-to-the-guts story that lies mostly forgotten, until someone fishes it out of the archives. Much like that interview with Peggy.

~ * ~

Domestic life

Warm in December by @notlucy

I’m not claiming that winter season is best background for fluff and domesticity, but this fic may prove that theory. Cozy, sweet, just perfect.

~ * ~ 

The Griffith

this delightful ficlet by @rachlovesligers

A cheeky peek at the power Steve has over women, even the dragon ladies as scary as Miss Fry, hahaha. It’s also one of those stories that immediately come to mind when thinking of the category.

~ * ~ 

Battlefield

In the heat of the battle by @littlereyofsunlight

I almost forgot how this fic keeps you at the edge of your seat, occasionally punching you back with feels. It was a thrill rereading it again for this challenge. 

~ * ~ 

Contains fave trope

On ceremony by CapandCarter

Enemies to lovers is one of my fave tropes. Sprinkled with arranged marriage it’s even more potent. Though be warned, the urge to smack Peggy over the head with a frying pan appears quite often in the beginning. 

~ * ~ 

Multiple timelines

Dark ways by @indiefic

This is twisted and perhaps not the very first thought of many when thinking of multiple timelines, but it fills the category. At some point there are even two Steves from two different timelines. And it’s so deliciously dark and fucked up. 

~ * ~ 

Pre-Canon

Where poppies grow by @beautifulwhensarcastic

It’s not cheating if it fits the category and if the author herself thinks it’s a good story worth promoting (and I do). 

[beautifulwhensarcastic]

Missing link, fairy tales, gym choux, oh snap

Missing Link -  is there anything you eat rarely but always look forward to?Hmm, I think holiday food? I eat poppy seed cake only twice a year, for Christmas and Easter. Also rabbit in white wine sauce.

Fairy Tales - do you have a fair where you are and if so, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten at one?We do have a special fair in August, but the food there is pretty normal. At least normal for me, lol. There's nothing weird that I've eaten at the fair.

Gym Choux - do you have a favorite pastry or were you even aware pastries came in types?Lol, I'm aware there are types. I'm not sure if I have one favourite, though. Maybe croissants.

Oh Snap already answered here :)

Jen's Food Ask

[beautifulwhensarcastic]

Are you a Christmas movie person?

I am! 😅 I don't do whole day/evening marathons, but I like rewatching some of my faves before Christmas. Granted, there are many Christmas movies, but I don't like all of them, so that narrows it down for me, too. Home Alone is always a must. Also National Lampoon's, Elf, Holiday, Miracle on 34th Street, Love Actually. And a few others.

Also @steggyisimmortal have a tradition of watching together new Netflix Christmas movies every year (and being very judgy, obviously, LOL) This year Single All The Way was our number one, with LoveHard in close second 😉

Thanks for the ask!

Tagged by @doctorhelena :

rules: write the latest line from your wip and tag as many people as there are words in the line.

Here’s a line from my only 5 months overdue Secret Santa gift for @formerlyir . It’s not the latest line, because then all you’d get is someone saying “Uh huh” with no context, but it’s a recent one. And it’s more than one line. Apparently I am really not good at following instructions.

Timmins, their overzealous junior radio man, relayed the message to Peggy while she was in the canteen having a cup of tea. (He always seemed to track her down at the most inconvenient times. It was on the tip of her tongue to ask him if he was going to pop up in the ladies’ lavatory next.)

I’m not tagging a person for every word, but here goes: @quiquimora @theawkwardterrier @steggyisimmortal @nevermindirah @buckywiththegoodhair86 @followingyourbliss @penny4alittlehope @womenarethesequel @3pirouette @bearholdingashark and anyone else reading this!

Like Tea, I’m only posting the file names of ones that aren’t already online. Also my Google Docs are a mess.

Steggy headcanons for unseen war moments.

I always like to focus on the calm, small moments, so:

They always sit beside each other by the fire. No one stares at them, no one judges. Sure, sometimes there is someone who would look, but Howlies always make sure to set them straight. They don’t touch in an obvious manner, but somehow Steve’s fingers always end on top of Peggy’s trembling, cold fingers (because I headcanon Peggy as ALWAYS having cold hands, even in the middle of the summer)

Each have their ways of composing themselves after a mission - Steve draws, Peggy cleans her rifle. And they always do it beside each other. 

When the spring comes Steve picks up single, wild flowers and slips them into Peggy’s tent (or bag, or desk). He’s not that stealthy, but everyone pretends not to see him. 

One time everyone stared at Peggy, Steve included, when she left her tent early in the morning all happy and smiling... and with a flower in her hair. No one comments on it, though Bucky smirks knowingly at Steve. Peggy’s blush later matches Steve’s when he picks the flower from her hair. He doesn’t want to assume, but Peggy turns so red it becomes obvious how she got her good, deep sleep.

When in England Peggy totally introduces Steve to Michael (who is alive)

Quite often the soldiers tended to sing at camp, rather nostalgic, quiet tunes. Taking Steve’s hand, Peggy walked them behind Phillips’ tent - where no one dared to near - and taught him basic, slow steps to the tune of sad songs.

sleepover Sunday

[beautifulwhensarcastic]

Tangelo, papaya, apricot

Tangelo: if you could be any mythical creature, which would you be?If I had to choose, I think I'd go with a nymph. One connected to a lake or river, because I just love water. Specifically, a Rusałka or Samodiva long live my Slavic roots Their characteristics quite fit with some aspects of my personality as well.

Having a human-shaped body works for me, I have no desire to have a tail, or wings, etc.

Papaya: what song describes your aesthetic?ugh, shit, I don't know? There isn't one? My aesthetic is a mix of various things and there's no song that would express all of it. At the moment the only thing that comes to my mind is this one - because Slavic, dark, tragic and gives chills.

Apricot: what do you do when you're sad?I make myself cocoa or tea and a snack to boost serotonin (tomato, berries, nuts, cherries, fish - in various forms). If the weather is nice I go for a long walk. I stay away from things that would worsen my mood, so no books, fics, movies, anything that I know will contain angst, sads and stressful plots.

Why? 😂

Lovage is a herb which I use mostly in broth, but it can be added to salads or sauce.
