63 sentence snippet

(It’s a little more since I felt bad for taking so long)

This is based on this WIP poll

Thank you for voting! 💜

The fic with the most votes was Mercenary!Bucky x Princess!Reader. So sorry for taking that long to finally do this but here are the 63 sentences for each vote (and a little more)

Your worth is measured not by your thoughts or your dreams, but by the alliances your hand could forge.

(…)

Your life is not your own. Your voice is not your own. Even your smile belongs to the court, to the crown, to the men who watch you with eyes that devour.

(…)

Grief is an excruciating pain. Your breaths are trapped, pounding on the walls of the cage that is your chest. Begging for release. Your heart still seems to be missing. Or it simply is divided into so tiny pieces it feels like it vanished entirely. It disappeared into the crack of the earth, giving way to roots, the tremor of something breaking open to grow.

(…)

The mercenary sighs, long and exaggerated, as if this entire meeting is a chore he’s been dragged into against his will.

(…)

His eyes struck you. They are cold, calculating. It’s not something you would think of immediately when the color blue comes into your mind. But that’s what the blue of his eyes is.

(…)

“Your Highness,” he says, his voice a low, gravelly drawl that makes the title sound more like an insult than an honor.

(…)

“Very well,” he says at last, the words dropping from his lips like a stone into a well. He straightens, his broad shoulders squaring and his hard eyes fixed on you. “I will keep you alive. But you better not expect me to bow, curtsy, or kiss your hand, your Highness. Do not expect me to coddle you. I am not your knight, and I am not your servant. I’m just the man who gets to clean up your mess.”

(…)

He is not kind. He is not comforting. He is a stranger, forced into your service by circumstances neither of you have chosen.

(…)

Your heart thunders, but it seems to have lost its rhythm, shaking but not steadying. It’s in panic. Pumping and pumping and pumping so much blood but where is it supposed to go?

(…)

But then the corner of his mouth tugs up in a smirk. Amusement and mild exasperation mix in his gaze, as though your panic has been nothing but entertainment and a burden for him.

(…)

“Go to sleep.” His voice is commanding. Unkind. He is done with tolerating you for today. “Now!”

(…)

You are tired. Tired of all this. Tired of the silence, of the questions you don’t get answers to, feeling so unwelcome in the presence of this man you didn’t even want to have anything to do with. Tired of you being brushed off all the time.

(…)

He won’t look at you either but there is something in his posture that has changed. It is a shift in the way he holds himself. Like he is no longer bracing for the next blow.

(…)

He doesn’t respond. His gaze is firmly fixed ahead, but now there definitely is a change in his posture. It’s not quite softness, not an invitation, but it is something - subtle and fleeting. His fingers twitch at his sides.

(…)

The smirk you have seen before - the one that twists at the corners of his mouth in a taunt - is absent now. His expression makes you uneasy.

(…)

The tension he radiates crackles against your skin. Your instincts scream at you to move away from him, to cower and hide, to shield yourself, to run into the woods, and never look back. But you are rooted into place.

(…)

Something shifts in his eyes for a second. His lips press into a line so thin, it might be a boundary you seemingly are about to cross. His eyes turn cold again. So cold. And yet, they feel alive. Piercing. Penetrating you with his unrelenting focus.

(…)

“All you need to know,” he says, his voice dropping to a low, almost growling tone, “is that I’ll take you somewhere safe and make sure your head stays in place. So unless you want to lose it, you’ll keep your mouth shut about things you don’t understand.”

(…)

But even standing in front of him feels precarious. The earth beneath your feet might tilt at any moment and your body would lack the will to catch itself. And you know Bucky wouldn’t dare to even lift a single finger for you.

I've been trying to decide which two stories to post in December, but because my indecisive little brain can't do it, I decided to ask for some help from you all instead! I will be working on the top two most voted stories for December, and the other stories will be posted in 2025, so you'll be able to read them all eventually.

A short summary of the stories will be underneath the cut so you can make a well-informed decision. If you'd like to be added to my tag list so you can read all the stories, you can do so right here.

Thank you for voting; reblogging for a broader reach will be deeply appreciated! 💜

Scarves, Snowflakes, And Sweethearts | Natasha Romanoff x Romantic Partner! Genderneutral! Reader You take Natasha on a date to go ice skating after she confesses to having never done so before, and you decide to make it a date never to forget. When you're both enjoying some hot chocolate to warm up after having been on the ice for what feels like forever, your feelings can't be held in any longer, and your first 'I love you' will be shared that day.

Mile High Club | Husband! Steve Rogers x Husband! Bucky Barnes When Bucky goes to Natasha to ask about the Mile High Club, she's surprised, as he's usually pretty closed off about anything related to those topics. Still, she's more than happy to explain what it is and set a plan to ensure Bucky and Steve have a wedding anniversary they will remember for a long time.

Northern Lights | Newlywed! Steve Rogers x Newlywed! Bucky Barnes Steve and Bucky share their first night as husbands under the Northern Lights, which makes the night so romantic that neither of them wants to leave their bed or the cabin they're staying in during their honeymoon.

Roadside Rendezvous | Friend With Benefits! Ransom Drysdale x Friend With Benefits! F! Reader Ransom invites you to dinner at the Thrombey estate after his parents insist on meeting the girl he's been talking so highly about for the past few months. Tensions quickly rise, and when he storms out the house, he needs to blow off some steam soon, and he's more than content to do so in the backseat of his beemer.

Bathed In Bliss | Boyfriend! Steve Rogers x Girlfriend! F! Reader Steve returns home after being away on a mission for almost three months. To celebrate his return, you prepare a warm, relaxing bath for both of you to enjoy, and you're adding a second welcome home gift for him; you.

hey everyone, I still love the poll feature and thought this might be fun :-)

[brassbelt-butch]

Been trying to write for a few months ago, but I've come up blank lately. So, instead of dreading another month of potential butch4butch love wasted, I'm gonna do a poll!

Some of these may end up bring more than one chapter, even developed into series, while others remain as solo pieces.

I have no idea who you are or what the poll is about but I saw one of your posts about it and I love committing voter fraud on tumblr dot com so I voted Glenn for you. I guess this is a freebie to give yourself a little doodle of whatever you want

[VOTE FOR GLENN CLOSE HERE AND GET A SKETCH REQUEST]

is it voter fraud? is it me running a successful campaign? is it a secret third thing?

i don’t really care as long as we’re winning <3

[acacia-may]

Despite the smut option winning, I am delighted to announce that I will be writing three works, one for each option that was available in the poll. I am incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response of over 1.1k votes. Your support leaves me speechless. Thank you so much!
