#there might or might not be a part 2 or a Steve POV idk idk we'll see

[corrodedbisexual]

"You know, this is the first time we've actually talked since middle school", Eddie finds himself saying, because somehow he can't stop running his mouth now. Steve just gives him a blank look. "You don't remember?" Harrington frowns and shakes his head. Eddie really, really should just leave it, the guy is here to buy and is probably regretting initiating a conversation already, but... seriously? Eddie looks away, morphing his face into a hurt expression that's only partially fake, then feigns a heart attack, clutching at his chest and falling off the bench onto the ground.

Started as a silly little sketch discussing with @sidekick-hero the 4x01 picnic table drug deal scene except Eddie meets Steve and it's an AU where there's no Vecna, he just has trouble sleeping/nightmares. Click below to read the whole thing.

The last person Eddie expected to see at his usual sale spot in the woods is Steve Harrington.

Eddie's definitely wary at first, not even looking him in the eye directly. Harrington might not be the King of Hawkins High anymore, but surely he could fuck Eddie up pretty badly even without his former jock posse around. Not that he, or they ever did that. They all mostly ignored Eddie, other than some occasional name-calling or "accidental" shoulder shove in the corridors. But witnessing the consequences of several fights in the parking lot was enough for Eddie to keep his guard up.

Except Steve just quietly sits down, glances at Eddie's lunchbox, offers him a tired smile. "Hey. How much for a half ounce?"

Straight to business, then. Eddie blinks, cautiously joins Harrington at the table across from him. "Uhm. Twenty."

"Shit. Um," the guy sighs, counting the crumpled bills in his hands - Eddie's trained eye registers 16 bucks - then rubs a hand across his face. "Make it a quarter then."

Huh, rich daddy cut you off or something, Eddie thinks, giving Harrington's clearly expensive, pristine clothes a once over, but obviously makes no comment. He might not absolutely love his face when it stares at him in the mirror, but a black eye certainly wouldn't do it any favors. It's one thing to tease these guys in the middle of the crowded school cafeteria, and completely different when it's one on one.

Eddie nods and starts unpacking his lunchbox, expecting this weird incident to be over in a minute, when Harrington asks him, suddenly, "You ever feel like you're losing your mind?", and Eddie finally allows himself to study the guy's face. Harrington oozes exhaustion, and frankly he looks more like a kicked puppy than a rabid dog Eddie usually associates with the jocks (ex-jocks? is it a thing? or once a jock, always a jock?). Whatever the fuck made him say that, and whatever made him seek out Eddie in the first place - suddenly he's pretty sure Harrington's not buying for a party. Now that he thinks about it, he hasn't heard of parties at Harrington's place in a long while. Before the guy even graduated.

Eddie softens, relaxes his shoulders, lowers his defenses a notch; he chuckles, takes a chance at a joke, "Yeah, you know... just on a daily basis". And what the fuck, Steve fucking Harrington laughs at that, and it's not mean, it's like he actually appreciates Eddie relieving that awkward, tense whatever between them. Eddie feels encouraged to continue. "Pretty sure I'm losing my mind right now. Didn't expect former Hawkins High royalty to grace my humble small business with his presence."

Steve rolls his eyes, but he's still smiling, and Eddie can't help full on grinning then, tilting his head, his defenses dropping further - he really shouldn't, but he's quickly failing to be smart and careful. His brain always gets completely stupid when someone pretty smiles at him like that. And Harrington is, has always been, so goddamn pretty. Even back in middle school, which should be illegal. Everyone's supposed to be awkward, insecure and covered in zits going through puberty.

"You know, this is the first time we've actually talked since middle school", Eddie finds himself saying, because somehow he can't stop running his mouth now. Steve just gives him a blank look. "You don't remember?" Harrington frowns and shakes his head. Eddie really, really should just leave it, the guy is here to buy and is probably regretting initiating a conversation already, but... seriously?

Eddie looks away, morphing his face into a hurt expression that's only partially fake, then feigns a heart attack, clutching at his chest and falling off the bench onto the ground. The last few of his rational braincells are yelling at him - WHAT THE FUCK EDDIE, BEHAVE LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN - but they're quickly silenced, because as he's scrambling to get up, he sees Harrington already up on his feet, a slight frown on his face, like - like he was worried for a second that Eddie wasn't faking it? And then, Harrington laughs again, and that simple sound really shouldn't have that much power over Eddie's heart rate. It's not fair.

"You, uh... You have leaves in your hair," Steve points, still chuckling, then looks away and bites his lip, like... Is he suddenly shy? "You didn't have all that", he wriggles his fingers around his face, imitating the shape of long curls. "In middle school, I mean."

Eddie quickly turns around, trying to hide his blush as he hastily plucks the leaves out. "Yeah, uh. My hair was buzzed back then." He grins as he turns back, folding his arms against his chest. "A-ha! So you do remember me."

"'Course I remember you, Munson. I was just messing with you," Harrington says, sounding unfairly casual. Be still, Eddie's poor, gullible heart. "We had that project together? Pick an animal and make a presentation about its biology, behavior, habitat and all that stuff?"

"Yeah, and we both wanted to pick something cute. And spent an hour arguing what constitutes a cute animal."

"You picked vampire bats, dude!" Harrington frowns, shakes his head incredulously. He remembers. What the fuck, he remembers.

"And I stand by it!" Eddie exclaims, approaching the table again in three big leaps and leaning forward, kneeling on the bench, hands gripping the table edge. "They cuddle together for warmth! And groom each other! How are they less cute than penguins?"

"Penguins mate for life! That's like... super romantic, or whatever." Oh fuck, Harrington's blushing. It makes Eddie feel so much better about acting like a total clown just a minute ago. He sighs, rolling his eyes dramatically.

"And this is why we had to compromise at sea otters."

Steve nods. "'Cause they hold hands in the water so they don't float away from each other."

"Yeah, that's hella cute. Can't argue with that." You're cuter though, he doesn't say, thank god his brain-to-mouth filter is at least partially functional.

They stare at each other for a moment, grinning, and Eddie's the first to clear his throat and look away, worried that if he keeps eye contact for another second, he'll absolutely do something stupid.

"Tell you what, Harrington." He sits back down and rummages through his lunchbox again, taking out a bag and pushing it across the table towards Steve. "I can get you a special former cute animal project buddy discount. Sixteen for a half. Even if you're wrong about bats."

"Oh. Shit. Thanks, man." Steve sounds sincerely grateful. He picks up the bag, fiddles with it, before glancing up at Eddie. "You're totally right. Bats are the best."

Smooth bastard. Eddie chuckles, then reaches out, picking up the bills one by one, but leaving a dollar on the table. "Flattery works with me." He winks at Harrington before he can stop himself. Like he's allowed to do that - him, the local freak - and apparently, miraculously, he is. No fists come flying as Steve ducks his head at that, moving to put the bag and remaining dollar bill away into his jacket pocket. What's more, for the second time today, Eddie registers a faint blush on the guy's cheeks. And it's definitely not embarrassment this time.

Eddie was absolutely, one hundred percent unashamedly flirting, and now Harrington's blushing. That's a lot to unpack, and Eddie doesn't feel like he has the brain power to do that right now. So he stands, frantically digging through his brain for some non-awkward way to wrap up their encounter; but before he says anything, his newfound client speaks first.

"Hey Eddie?" It shouldn't be so weird to hear. They did call each other by their first names back in middle school.

"Yes... Steve?" He replies in an inquiring tone. Steve looks nervous. Which makes Eddie double nervous.

"You wanna maybe... Join me? To be honest, I've never tried anything besides booze, well... Except one time, and it was kind of... An accident." Something dark briefly passes over Steve's expression, and Eddie figures he shouldn't ask. "So, yeah. I wouldn't mind some company."

"Someone to hold your hair while you puke your guts out?" Eddie defaults to humor, because his brain is still processing the request.

"Ha-ha. Fuck you," Steve replies, but there's no bite to it, and he's smiling again.

Well, damn. What is Eddie's life? Ten minutes ago he was wondering if he's gonna end up with a black eye, and now he's about to smoke out Steve goddamn Harrington. Who for some reason keeps smiling at him, like they are friends or whatever.

"You're not what I expected, Steve Harrington", he finds himself saying in wonder. "Sure. Fuck it. Let's get wasted."

Steve grins, standing and shoving his hands in his pockets. And as they head back to the school parking lot, side by side, he suddenly bumps Eddie's shoulder, making him jump just an inch.

"You're not what I expected either, Eddie Munson."

Y/n’s POV:

“Baby, wake up!” a voice, distinctly Bucky sounded in my ear. A groan escapes my mouth and I roll over to cuddle farther into the sheets.

“Come on!” he whines, pulling the sheets off me completely. My eyes squint against the light and blearily open to reveal Bucky and Steve sitting on either side of me with a thermometer in hand.

“The fever’s gone,” Steve says as he leans in to kiss my forehead.

“What he really means is,” Bucky says while throwing a mock glare in Steve’s direction “that we can have sex!”

“You told me you’ll wait till I tell her Buck.”

“But you were taking so fucking long punk. I couldn’t wait.”

“Boys!” my raspy voice makes the both of them turn their heads to look at me. “I’m gonna go brush my teeth. Until then, I want you to warm each other up for me, ok?” I ask as I slip of the bed with a sultry look in my eyes. Their jaws drop while I giggle and race to the bathroom.

When I’m done, I tiptoe out and catch them ridding each other of their clothes. As I make my way to the bed, I strip my pyjamas and bra off. When I reach the foot of the bed, I stand and stare at them waiting for them to realize that I’m there.

Steve extends an arm in invitation and impatiently, like it’s gonna disappear, I grasp it and he pulls me in between them both.

My head falls back against Steve’s chest as Bucky peppers kisses on my neck. My chest rises and falls heavily with every breath I draw and Bucky seems to love how breathless he seems to make me. His smirk widens when Steve’s fingers graze my throbbing clit through my soaked underwear.

“Already soaked, peaches?” Bucky coos as he sits on his legs and leans forward to lap at my hard nipple while tweaking the other with metal digits.

Steve chuckles against my ear at Bucky’s question before slipping my panties off completely, kissing a path down my spine with a hand firmly supporting the small of my back.

“Lie down baby,” Steve orders as he nudges me to lay my head on the pillow. I comply and immediately the both of them pulls my knees up to opposite shoulders.

They start to kiss and bite their way down my legs beginning at my ankle. As they approach the crux of my legs, they become more impatient.

They both lie down with their chest against the bed, their head between my legs and an arm across my waist, pinning me to the bed.

“You took such good care of us doll,” Steve whispers as he props himself on his elbows and presses his lips against my hipbone in a firm kiss.

“Our turn now peaches,” Bucky completes his sentence before he dives in to slurp greedily at my drenched pussy. His plump lips wrap around my clit and begin to suck while his cold knuckles graze my pussy lips.

Steve makes his way to my breasts, leaving a burning trail of bites in his wake. A large, warm palm cups my left breast as he wraps and arm around my waist to keep me steady against his continuous but not unwelcomed assault on my breast.

My hand shoots out to clutch the sheets in anticipation of the building orgasm as my eyes flit between both of them. Bucky chuckles at the sight and it sends a zap down my spine all the way to my clit.

I gasp and shift my hand to his hair instead. He moans at my white knuckled grip and his lips begin to suck even harder on my clit before he shifts his attention further south and his tongue enters my pussy.

My back arches and my breast is pushed further into Steve’s mouth. He bites at my nipple in retaliation and angles his head to catch my lips in a sloppy kiss. His tongue makes its way into my mouth and a moan gets caught in my throat.

My hand wraps around his neck to pull him closer into me but he only laughs in amusement. A whine bubbles at my throat when I feel Bucky’s fingers caressing the opening of my pussy. After only a moment of teasing, his fingers finally slot themselves inside me.

I brace myself on my elbows so I can catch a glimpse of Bucky devouring me. Steve slots behind me and his cock grazes my back with each miniscule movement.

My grasp on Bucky’s hair tightens to the point where I think I might’ve pulled some out but in the heat of the moment, neither of us seemed to care.

Nothing but the impending orgasm seemed to matter. Bucky’s fingers scissor faster and harder, his lips suck harder and faster. My back arches and my thighs tremble as my orgasm washes over me in waves. I would’ve been swept away if not for Bucky and Steve’s grounding presences.

“Come here,” I command as I pull Bucky’s smirking face closer to my heated and flushed one. I crush our lips together in a heated kiss as Steve’s lines kisses on the column of my neck. It’s all tongue and teeth with no signs of stopping until Bucky shifts on one side of me and Steve, the other.

Their hands run all over my body and mine all over theirs. Bucky pulls away with a smug little smile and runs his cock through my folds while Steve runs his all over my ass.

I groan as rock against the both of them. My fist wraps around Bucky’s member first and I sink his cock into my waiting pussy. We both sigh at the feeling before I feel Steve’s cock twitch at the lack of attention. His saliva coated fingers prod at my hole and he enters one with the greatest care. Bucky’s impatient whine pulls a raspy chuckle from me.

“Patience baby, Steve has to catch up,” I whisper as I lean forward to distract Bucky and flutter my walls around his throbbing member.

“Fuck!” he growls but stops moving anyway. Steve has already got to three fingers and is now spitting all over his cock.

I throw a pleading glance over my shoulder and Steve immediately relents. His cock presses into my tight opening and I gasp at the pressure. His arm wraps around my waist and his head rests between my shoulder blade in silent support.

Slowly but steadily, he presses in further while my eyes shut against the intense pleasure and only open when he’s flush with my back.

Bucky takes that as his cue to move and he slowly begins to rock against my front. “Bucky!” I moan as his cock immediately and punishingly starts to ram into my g-spot.

As I start to relax into the movements, Steve moves. Slowly at first but then to a point where his goal is clear. They both move with purpose and precision, their thrusts never faltering, knowing what to expect every time we have this dance. They know my body, in and out. They know it like no other and they know exactly which string controls which movement and which sound.

We’ve had this dance too many times for them to not know. They could do it blindfolded now. Their thrusts now sharper, graze against the spot that makes me cry and I tumble into bliss. Supernovas burst against my eyelids as they release their seed inside of me.

Suddenly, I feel another sensation build, different this time. It tickles my eyes and my nose and my stomach clenches. Almost instantaneously, I sneeze.

The movements around me freeze while I only process in shock. A laugh makes its way into my mouth and I fall face first into Bucky’s chest. With the both of them still wrapped around me, I feel their laughs reverberate through my chest and my heart warms.

“I think we gave you the bug honey,” Bucky says as he mouth at my neck.

“Guess you did,” I say, nuzzling my suddenly red nose in Steve’s neck.

“I’m gonna go run a hot bath,” Bucky declares, half out of bed already.

“Come on,” Steve says as he tucks an arm under my knees and one around my shoulders. My arms wrap around his own for support, as he carries me into the adjoining bathroom where Bucky throws a bath bomb into the tub.

Steve deposits me on the counter as the water fills the tub and the sweet scent of lavender envelops us. I walk over to Bucky and with his support, climb into the warm, lavender scented water. Steve undertakes the responsibility of lighting some candles before joining us.

“I’ll make some soup for you later on,” Steve whispers as he scrubs the loofah over my shoulders.

“Mhmm,” I hum in content as my muscles relax against his diligent hands.

“We tire you out?” Bucky asks with a smirk pulled across his lips.

“Yeah, somethin’ like that,” I whisper, pulling him into my chest and pressing a kiss to his wet hair.

“I love you,” I breathe in the silence of the room. Steve’s arms tighten around me and Bucky presses a soft kiss to the top of my breast.

“We love you too honey,” Steve says as he pulls the both of us into either crook of his arms.

“Round 2?” Bucky mumbles questioningly as me and Steve share an amused look.

“Sure Buck,” Steve says which makes Bucky’s head snap up.

“Really?”

“No!”

“At this rate, I’m gonna die with the lack of sex”

“Nobody dies from lack of sex, jerk.”

“I might.”

‘Bucky, I love you but shut up.”

First Lines Meme

@klaineharmony tagged me and I love a good game. This’ll actually cover all the fandoms I’ve written for, too, so I’m excited to see if my tone shifts much from place to place.

Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!

Most recent first:

1. “As much as she loved a quiet meal at home with her family, Shelagh appreciated their monthly invitations to dinner at Nonnatus House.” - Points of Contact, Call the Midwife

2. “Shelagh wasn’t sure she had ever heard a sound more beautiful than the click of the bedroom door knob as it unlatched to admit her husband.” - Special Delivery, Call the Midwife

3. “Shelagh had thought she was above eavesdropping in corners in Nonnatus House after Trixie and Cynthia had roped her into their spying on Jenny and Alec all those years ago, but apparently, some things stayed with you.” - What’s in a Name?, Call the Midwife

4. “She didn’t want to, but Shelagh eventually succumbed to the force of her waking mind.” - Remember Me, Call the Midwife

5. “Sister Bernadette rubbed her thumb back and forth over the knuckles of her other hand, trying to focus on keeping a steady rhythm as the car slowly made its way toward Nonnatus House.” - With Open Arms, Call the Midwife

Midpost callout on myself: Hey girl, you really love establishing your POV character from the fucking get-go, huh?

6. “Jack and Davey had a plan.” - There’s This Secret Escape Plan I’ve Got, Newsies 

7.”’This is absolutely the hardest part of being in a poly relationship,’ Kath said, flopping backwards onto the mattress.” - Triptych, Newsies

8. “None of them like winter, though their reasons and reactions differ.” - Hold Each Other., Newsies

9. “’What’s Santa Fe got that New York ain’t?’” - Just Be Real (Is All I’m Askin’), Newsies

10. “Jack was on top of the world.” - We Just Might Win, Newsies

11. “Katherine was almost ashamed of how long it took her to realize what she was feeling.” - We Will Find A Way, Newsies

12. “A warm hand slipping into his made Archie stop in the middle of the school hallway.” - Awareness, Riverdale

13. “’Rachel, help. I’m attached to Blaine.’” - Klaine Advent 2017, Glee (This is just the first line of my first prompt fill, obvi.)

14. “’Don’t be sorry,’ Archie says, pulling Ethel into a hug they both need.” - I Won’t Ever Let You Go, Riverdale

15. “Diana is accustomed to seeing Steve’s ghost.” - Presence, Wonder Woman (2017)

16. “’Attention, Warblers!’ Sebastian’s voice rang out from the balcony, prompting everyone on the lower floor to look up at the head of their organization.” - Restored, Glee

17. “Blaine spread his arms and inhaled deeply, enjoying a rare day of Fall warmth in Ohio.” - Stay With Me, Glee

18. “’I’m so excited!��� Blaine said, swinging his and Kurt’s joined hands higher than strictly necessary as they walked up the stairs of the subway station.” - Game Plan, Glee

19. “’Oh, goddammit,’ Kurt said, staring down at the narrow yet surprisingly deep crack in the pavement below the bleachers.” - What You Need, Glee

20. “When the buzzing and ringing of his phone alarm finally become impossible to sleep through, Kurt had to restrain himself from just flinging his phone out the window in annoyance.” - Here With You, Glee

My callout remains true: I really love establishing a POV and really just starting in medias res with my fic. Probably because I don’t have to establish a universe like an original author does, you know? We can just cut to the chase.

I think my favorite is either the opening of my first Klaine Advent fill or the first line of “What’s in a Name?” just for the nostalgia of the old Nonnatus days.

Idk if I know ten authors who haven’t been tagged! @knightsofthegaytable @chaossmagic @spookytrixiefranklin @bobasbook Do the thing!

[skywillsometimeswrite]

So since I went back and rewatched/watched the Sahara opening from all three perspectives, I gotta just make a list of my favorite parts because it was so good. Some of these can only be found specific to one POV or two POVs so I highly recommend watching all of them because it’s so worth it.

Episodes: Grian’s 71 Mumbo’s 105 Iskall’s 111

Pre-Opening:

-Mumbo and Iskall trying last minute to make all the redstone work before Grian finds out that it isn’t done -Mumbo having a Grian head in his inventory while he is working on Sahara for seemingly no reason -Mumbo’s “YES!” when the stocking (i think) works and how excited he gets -Mumbo just completely gushing over how much he loves the project

-Iskall pro-speed-slick-recording of Mumbo’s ice confession (as well as Grian in the background “He’s totally recording. Don’t fall for it.”) and then saying that Mumbo went on to say he loves ice -Iskall: I’m gonna meet up with the boys. *opens a chest full of stuff and deeply sighs* I’m gonna clear this up then I’m gonna meet up with the boys.

Opening (under a read more cause it got long):

-The fact that Grian didn’t put on any sort of skin to begin with. I know he put on the Steve Jobs skin, but idk I find it amusing he didn’t put on his business suit for the actual opening part -Mumbo’s “Oh this is a nice tent” as he hides behind it because you can clearly tell by the other two’s laughter that that hadn’t been apart of their original skit -The failed first launch -Ren. Just... Ren. -How Mumbo mentions that the exploded door matches the one in the warehouse and immediately telling Iskall that no, he hasn’t fixed it and that it’s staying forever -Iskall and Mumbo (of all people) questioning why Grian killed a wandering trader and Grian innocently responding “I found him like that.” -The entire “It’s glasses!” interaction in response to Grian’s Steve Jobs skin -Iskall trying to keep a straight face even though you hear him quietly laughing -Violent Mumbo 1: hitting Ren towards the ordering part of Sahara -Mumbo barely being able to prevent himself from directly telling Ren how the system works and how to work it -Grian responding to Ren’s comment of a long wait with “But look at the lights go on! Ding, ding? We’re on two lights now, how exciting is this Ren? -Grian: ...thats it i’m closing the company, Sahara is over- -Iskall: NO WAIT! HAVE SOME FAITH! -”I got a beacon... receipt.” ”That’s Sahara in a nutshell. You get charged for things that don’t actually arrive.” -Grian and Iskall’s laughter sounding like they’re crying -Grian hitting all the armor stands out the door -Violent Mumbo 2: “So here’s my idea... we kill him.” -All three of them clearly having an idea of how that huddle should go and then not agreeing on it. Grian trying to have this act of employer to employees, Mumbo just saying they should kill Ren and start again, and then Iskall trying to work off that  -Iskall trying to think of something that might be near and dear to Ren without mentioning family and only managing to come up with his sunglasses -Iskall: Think about his sunglasses. -Mumbo: I haven’t been able to think about anything else since he’s arrived. -Iskall managing to keep a straight face when talking about mispricing the beacons and that finally cracking Mumbo’s facade while Grian is just in disbelief -Honestly this whole huddle is the best thing -”Where did we put the payment chest? We forgot about the payment chest.” “Are you kidding me????” -Mumbo: I only put one minecart in I wasn’t expecting him to order this much *cue them all breaking down even further* -”He ordered rockets... And they arrived! I don’t know how! How have they arrived?” “Don’t question it!” “No- why has he just broken the shulker box? Ren stop yourself!” “Because there’s no instructions!”  -Mumbo: Oh gosh! I’m setting myself on fire. Where’s my flint and steel? *looks at Grian* You took it. I hate my life- bye. *disconnecting* -Grian actually checking to see if he took Mumbo’s flint and steel because that’s something he would do -Violent Mumbo 3: hitting Grian and basically threatening him not to ever touch the system again -Iskall clearly not seeing the Beta sign on Sahara if his laugh is anything to go by while Mumbo and Grian already knew about it -All of them doing this zoom in on Ren as he stands on a chimney (which by itself is hilarious) -How the second-first opening fails and Grian is exasperated, Iskall is dying of laughter, and Mumbo is hopelessly embarrassed -”For goodness SAKE! I hate this! I don’t want to be part of this group anymore! Bunch of useless people!” -Ren witnessing all of this and inviting Mumbo to come chill on the chimney with him (”Yeah I’m going up on the chimney.”) -Mumbo having to stop himself from saying anything to Ren during the ordering process -Mumbo forgetting he doesn’t have an elytra on and trying to fly (this seems to be a common occurrence with him in S6) -Mumbo’s EEEEEEEE when he sees the minecart working -Ren’s carrots going into the machine and Grian just going “Now it’s not my fault!” -Grian: This is the most complicated thing I’ve ever been apart of and I didn’t do anything complicated so I feel great. -Violent Mumbo 4: “Did Ren ever pay?” *before even checking* “No. Should we beat him up?”  (Bonus: Mumbo cutting to the next part with a transition of him saying “One serious beating later”) -Ren: Do I get a discount for being the first customer? “No.” “No.” “Absolutely not, we’re a business.”

[stranger-who-writes-fiction]

Okay I was gonna do another SG:WoT post anyway because we’ve got a new King interview but THEN, he released the cover to issue four so you KNOW I gotta geek out about this.

(Sorry that this blog is all SG:WoT, all the time now, but I am just. Insanely excited that Evely is drawing Supergirl. Feel free to block/mute these posts as needed. XD)

Okay, so!

First! The interview!

It’s on (ugh) screenrant so I’m not gonna link, I’m just gonna nab the interesting bits:

On the different direction of the book, and if he wanted to go back to the original Adventure Comics vibes: “So, the idea of this thing was to strip her story down, because Supergirl has a majorly weird history in terms of continuity. At least 13 writers have rewritten her origin over the years. Her dad has 13 origin stories; sometimes he's evil, sometimes he's a robot, sometimes alive, sometimes he's dead. She's changed dramatically in the last 10 years, between coming back to life to the New 52 to Rebirth. She's gone through so much that it's hard to get a hold of her. Not to mention in the '90s, when I was coming up, she was like an ectoplasmic space angel. There's so much there, and I just wanted to take all that stuff off and get to the core of the character; get her out of her normal environments and her normal conflicts. It seems like all our stories are about her dad or her relationship to Superman. Instead, let's see the purity of that character.”

On starting the book the way he did: “...I wanted to start out with a very human moment of a person turning 21 and getting drunk. And a person who is getting drunk because they want to be alone, and they just want to forget about the shit that's happened in their past. That's such a human moment. And the fact that she's Supergirl, so she waits till it's legal - because these super people, they follow the rules. She waited, and now it's legal and she can have this moment. She goes off by herself, with her dog that always follows her, and she has a moment where she can be free. For a lot of people in the US, whether you've been drinking since you were 14 or started that day, your 21st birthday and the day after are days you remember for the rest of your life. It's a day of freedom and consequence, and I wanted to show Supergirl going through that.”

On rising to the challenge of helping Supergirl perform better, sales/popularity-wise: “ When I first got on this book, I called Steve Orlando, who had just written a Supergirl run. And he was the one who opened my eyes to how good the character is. He had such insight into her. He was like, ‘There is a difference between Clark and her, and what she's gone through.’ He just laid it for me.”

On starting the book off with Ruthye’s journey, and gradually building to Kara’s: “ I was like, "Okay, this is going to be from the point of view of someone under Supergirl." And so I switched the point of view to this new brand new character, whose name is Ruthye. And we went from there: we start with Ruthye's story, we see her discover Supergirl, and she's our audience. She's our way in, the way Robin has always been the way into Batman.”

On whether or not other characters will show up, outside of Supergirl and Ruthye: “It's like my Superman: Up in the Sky, where it's a distillation of the character. You'll see other characters, but the focus of every issue will be on Supergirl. And it's something where at the very end, you can be like, "Why is Supergirl great? Why is she important to the DC Universe? What is her future in the DC Universe? Here, read this one trade that can answer all three of those questions at once."So, there will be other characters in the Super universe. But the focus will always be on her; on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It's her finding out about herself and her own strength.”

On Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow vs. his other titles: “Supergirl is my first 2021 book, or my first book of the 20s. That wrapped up my books of the teens, and now we're in a new generation. God willing, from the moment I started this book, I was like, ‘I'm gonna take a risk, and I'm gonna write books that are a little brighter.’ I know that's coming from me, and it's not to say we're going to avoid conflict or we're not going to explore the depths of the human soul. All that stuff will be in there. But these books are made from a place of joy, not from a place of anger; from a place of hope, not from a place of despair. It very much contrasts to those other books, in my mind.”

On how he thinks folks will react to the Krypto cliffhanger: “I mean, they're gonna think it's a good cliffhanger. That's how I think they're going to react. They're going to say, ‘I want the next issue.’ That's literally my job as written in my contract. Something where at the end of an issue, someone says, ‘I want more.’ So, that's how I hope they react.”

As mentioned, this is not the full interview; the whole thing can be found on screenrant, and I think Tom King shared a link on his twitter. 

And now, as always, SOME THOUGHTS:

I love that he brings up the fact that so many Supergirl stories focus on Zor-El and Clark, and how he was like, ‘let’s not do that.’

That’s my big gripe with modern Supergirl comics; they are trying so hard to make a statement on why we need both a Supergirl AND a Superman, that they end up spending ALL THEIR TIME talking about Clark, instead of, you know. Telling a fun Supergirl story.

Same thing with Zor-El! I know folks love Rebirth--I like it quite a bit myself--but I think the nostalgia goggles prevent folks from remembering that the whole first arc of that book was re-doing the ‘Cyborg Superman’ garbage from the Nu52. 

Speaking of Rebirth, really like that of all the recent SG writers he coulda talked to, he talked to Steve Orlando.

Like, if ya can’t get Gates on the phone, get Orlando.

(I get the sense that Gates doesn’t like this book, actually, based on a vague tweet. But don’t quote me on that.) 

Looks like Ruthye is gonna be our POV/audience insert character for the whole run. I’m...mmmm. I don’t love it, but I understand the logic here. Especially since he compared it to Batman and Robin--how you use Robin as your entry point for a bat book. 

And you know what? Kara’s supporting cast needs some help, so. Welcome to the Superfam, Ruthye.

I also love the explanation behind the drinking thing, as well as the fact that Kara waited until it was 100% legal for her to drink because OF COURSE SHE WOULD.

I am so worried that Krypto is gonna die b/c of what we saw in Future State. I’m over here with my Pepe Silva board like, ‘Well, what if Kara agrees to help Ruthye because Krem MURDERED HER DOG?!?! WHAT IF THIS IS JOHN WICK IN SPACE?!?!?!’

So I am DISMAYED that King does not reassure us AT ALL.

Thus I am forced to cling to this tidbit here: “ But these books are made from a place of joy, not from a place of anger; from a place of hope, not from a place of despair. It very much contrasts to those other books, in my mind.”

Killing the dog would not be joyful. XD So, like. I’m REALLY HOPIN’ HE’LL BE OKAY.

AND LASTLY, (Except not really)

I have some additional, miscellaneous thoughts unrelated to the interview b/c I’m me and I’m loving having a Supergirl comic back on the shelves, however polarizing it may be.

Something I realized, when details started to come out regarding the book, and that other folks have now noted as well: Kara was 16 when Rebirth launched in 2016; she’s just turned 21 in 2021, making her one of the extremely few comic characters to age in real time.

I don’t think that was planned, but it is cool.

It occurred to me on a re-read that Ruthye never calls Kara Kara in her narration, only Supergirl. And I was a little sad! But then I remembered that Kara wouldn’t necessarily reveal her identity to people she’s helping, she would just be ‘Supergirl’ to them. 

I really do love how, so far, there has been NARY A MENTION of Kara angst-ing over being in Clark’s shadow, or being Superman’s cousin.

It appears that her drinking alone on a remote planet is more related to trying to forget her trauma/grief related to Krypton. MAYBE. We don’t know yet.

The Clark thing could still come up. I hope it doesn’t. 

(Interesting to note! Kara recently appeared in Action Comics, helping Clark and Jon investigate some Kryptonian refugees; IDK how closely these books will necessarily ‘work together’ in terms of continuity, but! It’s possible that the discovery of those mysterious refugees was triggering, thus sending her on her way to her own solo title.)

(Well. That’s gonna be my headcanon, anyway. XD)

AND LASTLY, (for real this time)

ISSUE FOUR COVER!!!!

Okay, some immediate thoughts:

GOOD LORD IT’S STUNNING.

I loooooove the fire motif, reminds me of a part from the Rebirth run, where Kara met the Super-Man of China, and they visually referenced All-Star Superman, having the Kryptonians kind of...become the sun.

Also STAR CHART?!?! PIRATE MAP!?!?!?! 

The VIBES I tell you, the VIIIIIIIBES.

Also I love that it’s just Kara.

Don’t get me wrong! I like Ruthye just fine so far! But yeah, yeah, give me some more solo-Kara focus, even if it’s just in the art.

Just realized that once this thing gets collected as a TBP, we might get some Evely art backmatter. OhHhhHHhhH YESSSS. 

Anyways, the long wait for issue 2 begins!

Part 1

Your POV

    Another sleepless night, another boring day, another insane amount of coffee. Shuri was successful in removing the trigger words from my mind but that was a week ago. No one has come for me. No more memories have returned.  I just kind of wander around aimlessly throughout the day and then toss and turn in my bed all night.   

    I make my way down a long glass corridor and observe the sky outside. I stop, cross my arms over my chest and watch a few people sparring in the grass below. My fingers begin absentmindedly fiddling with the dog tags around my neck. I pick them up and read them again. They belong to James. I have warred with myself over this for days but I finally decide to give them back to him. 

    Speaking of which, he and Sam enter at the other end of the corridor. “Hey, you go on ahead, I’ll catch up with you later,” James mumbles to Sam. Nodding Sam continues on as James stops beside me. Before I can change my mind again, I take the dog tags off and hold them out to him. He tilts his head in confusion, “If I wanted them back, I would’ve asked for them.” 

    “What- What do you mean? They’re your dog tags. You don’t want them?” I ask. 

    “I want you to hang on to them for me, Doll,” he says with a grin. 

    I look back down at the thin pieces of metal between my fingers, “What happened?” 

    “Do you mean what happened for me to get those or what happened for them to find their way to you?” 

    “Both I suppose.” 

    “Well, I enlisted in 1941. Steve kept trying to enlist too but kept getting denied. That is until some scientist found him and gave him a chance. He ended up taking the super soldier serum. He found out that half my regiment had been taken captive behind enemy lines and set out against the Colonel’s orders on a rescue mission because I hadn’t returned with the half of our men that did. When I was behind enemy lines as a prisoner, Hydra’s scientist, Arnim Zola, did experiments on me and gave me a super soldier serum. After returning to base with everyone who had been taken captive, Steve and I fought alongside the Howling Commandos. We were wiping Hydra bases off the map. On one mission, we were on this train trying to get to Zola. A weapon mishap blew a hole in the side of the train and I fell out and grabbed onto the piece of train that was left hanging. Steve tried to pull me back in but I fell. After that, Zola found me. The serum helped me survive the fall. He took me back to Hydra and that’s when the Winter Soldier was born. As for how my dog tags ended up with you, I don’t really know.” 

    We stood in silence for a few moments as I stared at the dog tags before everything went black. A soft blue glow lit up the darkness. I looked up to see another movie screen. A film began playing. This time, I was sitting in a cell. I could tell I hadn’t slept in days. A Hydra agent enters the room and hands me a small black box. 

    “Otkroy eto,” (Open it,) he commanded. I do as commanded and inside the box I find a set of dog tags. “Naden'te ikh i sleduyte za mnoy,” (Put them on and follow me,) he demands. Without a word, I again do as commanded. 

    The man leads me to a lab. There is a man lying on a surgery table. Present day me recognizes it as James. He has a metal arm now with a red star on it. The man who led me into the room spouts off my trigger words before giving me my commands, “Nikogda ne snimayte eti zhetony. Oni prinadlezhat Zimnemu soldatu, i vy prinadlezhite yemu.” (Never take those dog tags off. They belong to the Winter Soldier and you belong to him.)   

    I wake up in my room with a worried James sitting nearby. He rushes over when he notices that I have woken up, “Did you remember something else?” 

   I nod and tell him everything I just learned. As I finish, I stop to think for a second, “I wonder how they knew, or if they even knew.” 

    “Knew what, doll?” he inquires. 

    “That we knew each other,” I answer. This seems to be an unsatisfactory answer so I ask, “What? Is there something I’m missing?” 

    “It’s nothing. You’ll remember it eventually,” he sighs moving to look out the window. 

    “No James. It’s obviously important to you. Please tell me,” I say as I get up and rush to his side and grab hold of his arm. 

    “Doll, I asked you to marry me the day before you went missing,”he says softly, pausing for a moment, “We more than just knew each other. We were engaged, but those bastards took you away from me, from us.” 

    Speechless, I sit back down in case I black out again, “We were- We were engaged?” 

    “Yeah,” he says, taking a seat beside me. 

    I lay my head over on his shoulder, which must’ve been a mistake because as soon as my head touched his shoulder, I blacked out again. 

    This time when the movie screen turns on, the movie begins with me and James when we were in our early 20s. We are walking down a sidewalk hand in hand. There’s no sound this time. We come to the docks where I remember James had been putting in lots of extra hours lately. Looking out at the ocean and watching the sun glinting off the waves I remember wondering how that day could’ve gotten any better. As James got down on one knee and offered me a simple but beautiful ring, that day became the best day of my life.   

    The screen goes black and I wake up and rub my eyes, “Wow, two in one day, I’m gonna have one hell of a headache later.” James chuckles beside me, “What did you remember that time?” 

    “You proposing in 1939,” I pause and my heart sinks, “I don’t know what happened to the ring.” 

    He wraps his arm around my shoulders, “It’s alright, doll. That’s what the dog tags are for until I can get you another one.” 

    “But James, you worked so many extra shifts for that ring.” 

    “It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that I have you back and you remember.”

this was inspired by @darrenshanisabitch first question of the part 2 of cdf related questions: “If you could read cdf in another characters POV, what character would it be?”

**PS. This contains a few spoilers & also forgive me if any of my info is wrong I don’t remember all the exact details lol**

I would love to read CDF but in A Song of Ice and Fire way, where it’s one story taking place across multiple points of view at the same time. If you haven’t read it, it’s a series where basically some bigger characters have frequent points of view and you see them multiple times in almost every book, and then some smaller ones might have a few in one book, or even a single chapter across the whole series.

🔹I’d pick main viewpoints for:

•Darren: for obvious reasons.

•Gannen Harst: I think it would be more interesting to observe Steve’s descent into madness from the perspective of someone close to him, and especially to read the conflicting interal dialogue of not wanting to go along with the insanity but knowing he has to. (Kind of like Davos Seaworth) Also I want to know how he feels about Vancha.

•Seba: His chapters would be the Vampire Mountain perspective. The obvious choice might be the princes, but I feel like he would offer a lot of unbiased insight into the politics and going ons of VM. Plus he basically knows about like everything that happens on Vampire Mountain.

🔹Side viewpoints (multiple chapters but overall less than the main viewpoints):

•Kurda: We’d get to see him orchestrating everything with the vampaneze and how the actual plan was put into place. I’d still keep his death from Darren’s POV though.

•Vancha: He’s obviously more relevant in later books, though I’d do a few chapters in earlier ones about what he got up to before he entered the main plot.

•Debbie: Her POV wouldn’t start until after the third book. Then it would come and go periodically, updating on her reaction to Darren leaving, her in teacher’s college, her starting teaching, etc. Also about her and Alice going off to recruit the homeless people or whatever they did. It’s been a little bit since I read the books lol

•Darius: Mainly to document his relationship with Steve, being blooded, what happens when he goes to VM, etc.

🔹Single chapters:

•Annie: I’d do a chapter documenting her relationship with Steve. Maybe a couple chapters, actually. One when their relationship is good and one about the part where he shows up in the middle of the night.

•Sam: His would be the prequel chapter to Book 2. It would cover him at home with his family, going through a normal day, and then end with him spotting the Cirque and deciding to go check it out.

•Gavner: Prequel chapter for Book 4, but it’d be the Liz story from Darren Shan’s website.

•Mika: I’d give him a prequel chapter about the time where he left the mountain & found out about the vampets. Maybe another chapter somewhere else too.

•RV: How he found the vampaneze

•Mr. Tall: There is a lot of possibilities for him. I can’t pick one. It’s hard since he knows the future not to spoil anything.

•Evanna: Maybe at the end where she’s pregnant? Idk, like Mr. Tall there’s a lot of possibilities. See comment about knowing the future above.

•Arra: I’d like a chapter about her and Larten reconnecting at the Festival of the Undead.

🔹Characters I wouldn’t give viewpoints and why:

•Steve: See Gannen above.

•Mr. Crepsley: His & Darren’s story overlaps to the point that if they both had perspectives it would feel like half a story from each of them instead of one complete story.

•Mr. Tiny: I feel like part of what makes him a great villian is the mysteriousness. Seeing what’s going on in his head would ruin that.

•Harkat/Arrow/Paris/Alice/etc.: Their stories overlap a lot with the above characters. I could probably think of a way to fit them in & I’m probably forgetting some characters but I have schoolwork & I’ve wasted enough time already:’)

I mean, just think of the possibilities. Paris’ funeral from Seba’s perspective? Steve climbing into the Coffin of Fire from Gannen’s perspective? DARIUS WATCHING STEVE SNAP SHANCUS’ NECK????

Author Darren Shan if you’re reading this I will singlehandedly fund this project

oooh for the ask game 24, 30, and 44!

MAGPIE MY BELOVED HELLO

24. What are your favorite episodes?

The only episodes I've really watched are TMWWBK (which is my favorite episode and I'm certain would still be my favorite if I watched every single one because it has the only SPN character and the only SPN line), The French Mistake (which was funny enough but honestly in the Just Okay category for me, which makes me pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy actually watching SPN if this is one of the funniest/highest-rated eps), and Reading Is Fundamental (my best friend was watching it and asked me if I wanted to hop on Discord, I thought it might be fun to see Kevin's first introduction but instead this ep found the two of us taking like 90 minutes to get through it bc we kept pausing and screaming (derogatory) as the model minority stereotype jokes piled up and up and up... Unfortunately not a favorite even if we got Meg AND the "pull my finger" joke AND the "Sorry" shot). Other than TMWWBK, from clipping and transcript-reading, I like Wayward Sisters (who doesn't?), The Things We Left Behind (Claire!!!! Cas trying to be a dad! The diner scene aka my favorite destiel scene of all time bc being in love just looks so good on Cas! Also the parallels between Claire and Randy and teen Dean and the adults at that club in his story... woof.), Golden Time (Eileen gets to be HERE and be sad and loved and fight people with ghost powers and Cas gets to do a cool speech and a stabbing and do the Asian community a favor), and Lucifer Rising (just immensely sexy on all counts for Ruby, Sam, Cas, and myself). Also I am SO fond of Steve!Cas so I'll add Heaven Can't Wait even if I barely know anything about it.

30. What is an unpopular opinion or headcanon you have about the show?

Ooh okay hm I think. So I adore confession scene, but I don't think the "I cared about the whole world because of you" is like. The Objective Truth the way that most bloggers seem to take it. Cas was lobotomized tons of times before he met Dean, he was described as coming off the line with a crack in his chassis, he's always been the weird little angel who likes humanity too much! I don't think Dean came first, and although gay love was part of what helped Cas invent free will, he *Ruby voice* didn't need the feather to fly, Dumbo! I do think Cas believes what he says in the moment, but I also think he sorta... made himself believe it? This is probably just me deciding that cas-coding should go both ways, but like. I very much crush as a coping mechanism and I very much overascribe my actions to love because it simply seems more noble/poetic to do so. Being miserable because school is hard is cringefail but being miserable because of unrequited love is Good Shit. And I have been in unrequited love with my best friend for at least 7 years (probably 9 but I didn't realize it earlier) and if you asked I would 100% say that she taught me love and defined love for me and that she will be my first and last, but I also know that that is not entirely true; it's just the narrative that I like for myself. And I think that being in an Empty deal contingent on whether or not he LETS himself feel happy would lead Cas to do plenty of mental maneuvering, which I think involved intentional self-poor-little-meow-meow-ification via overascribing his choices and happiness to Dean (and I also think he'd already been doing that for a while just because of personal self-worth issues and because it's a nice narrative). I know as Cas's last Moment on the show it was probably written to be The Objective Truth, but I am perceiving him and I say no.

44. If you could write an episode of Supernatural, what would happen?

Oh scream okay! This is a fun one! I am going to start out with two ideas from other people:

1. Months ago Nate from the pocnatural discord had the idea of an episode from the "monster"'s perspective where the Winchesters are just clearly the antagonists while not doing anything different than they usually do. I think the idea was that all these supernatural beings live in a self-regulating community together and we have one Very Likable pov character who's a member of this community, but one of the newer members messes up one day and kills someone and the Winchesters come on a case and wreak havoc on this Very Much Functioning (there was going to be a whole rehab and reparations thing for the new member who messed up!) system and kill pov character and in the end you just HATE Sam and Dean for it.

2. It's hard to adapt anything from bad moon rising (aka my favorite spn fic) very well because the point of an Arab Winchesters season 1 rewrite is that it doesn't really work with the white characters we have now, but I think I could see a version of chapter 2 adapted as long as Haley (an Ojibwe hunter who lives in the area affected by what Sam and Dean are hunting) takes the lead. I'd especially like to see this section:

Dean laughs, a little disbelievingly. The question has never crossed his mind. “Do you like it?”

This gives Haley no pause at all. “Yeah,” she says. “I mean, it’s not really about killing monsters, though, for me. Or, it’s not always about killing monsters. It’s about community. Not violence. It’s a spiritual thing to build a home, you know?”

“Oh,” Dean says. He can’t think of anything else to say. It has never crossed his mind before that hunting could be compatible with a community.

I don't have any original episode ideas to add to the hunting discourse, so we're on to my ideas about character-driven eps. I think I would like to see a version of my sastiel possession fic (ty again for beta-ing that! you're a real one) as an ep around the time of 9.11 because Sam deserves to work through their trauma, but idk what the Dean plot should be for that. Another thing I would like very much is TFW drunk history storytime (so like. Tall Tales bass boosted), where for some reason they all need to go over what they were doing during Stanford era but each of them is telling someone else's story. It's gonna be either Sam->Dean->Cas->Sam or Dean->Sam->Cas->Dean. It starts out very funny (they all have terrible wigs and makeup in the flashbacks. Cas is Jimmy wearing a giant mask with googly eyes on it.) but as it goes on it gets increasingly sad how much these three don't really know each other.

In the Sam->Dean->Cas->Sam episode, Sam's telling of Dean's past veers wildly between "crushing pussy and killing things" and "feels like absolute shit all the time" and it's funny but Not Right and afterwards Dean goes "I didn't know you thought of me that way" and Sam says "... I am basically reading off the voicemails you left me back then" and Dean has to sit there and contend with the mythology he himself wrote for Sam to believe in. Dean->Cas provides the comedic beats for the episode as Dean awkwardly narrates Cas's Life As A Weird Little Guy who watches trees grow and heals babies and in the end Dean goes "so how did I do" and Cas is like "well actually I was either getting lobotomized or murdering people so like 3/10?" The moral of this plot line is that Dean is bi. Cas gives a fairly faithful retelling of Sam living her trans little life at Stanford and veering between trying to be Normal and being a total weirdgirl and feeling guilty and angry and happy and free. It becomes clear that Cas admires Sam a lot (but also feels like. guilt and some self-recrimination for not being that) for rebelling from their dad and exploring their queerness during a time Cas was still to his knowledge in total soldier mode, and Sam is having an a_good_soldier's Thesis 5 moment about how she failed the kid she used to be and how very sorry they are about all the things that happened to them, and Dean hates that this is the first he's hearing about so much of this but is also quite emo about the parts where Sam is struggling. The ep ends with them all in the same room not looking at each other and not knowing if they want to group hug or never talk again.

Dean->Sam->Cas episode is similar but the storytelling dissolves a lot faster as it becomes clearer way faster how much their own emotions are getting in the way. Dean is upset that Sam could leave their family so easily and probably swing a normal life, Sam keeps wondering what it would be like to live millennia just KNOWING that you were right and good and clean, and Cas is gay and veering between fitting Dean's life into a larger Righteous Man narrative and just being very tender (and sad and angry) about Dean's pain. Episode ends in a rather cathartic shouting match where they all end up apologizing to each other for many things.

Oh also I would like to see Cassie again but I don't have an episode in mind there. Also would love to see Kaia adjusting to life in Sioux Falls and befriending the others and dealing with Bad Place trauma.

tysm for the questions sorry for taking so long!

(ask game)

[thegeminisage]

H, K, and L for fanfic asks!

H: How would you describe your style?

DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS MOMENT. someone else weigh in!!! i literally have no idea. whatever the opposite of flowery is, i think. i’m not very good at flowery prose and i don’t always enjoy reading flowery prose - it hits sometimes, but usually i get bored. so i think i sort of accidentally leaned into the opposite. i especially think that like, with characters like dean for example - i really really favor close third person pov, and dean wouldn’t really use flowery language to describe anything. he talks like, well, dean, so i’d want my narration to sound like dean talks. someone like merlin characters from 500 ad england might use a different kind of speech but i think for the most part my main thing is trying to get character voice?? oh and long sentences. everyone talks about “whoops i used like five emdashes and eighteen commas and my sentence is three pages long” so i’ve gotten into doing...shorter...sentences...idk i just am hopeful that makes it less tiring to read/makes it stand out a little. this question is much more intelligent than i am lol

K: What's the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?

it’s a tie between 1. the alternate ending of cambion where cas saves sam and dean instead of jesse ben and claire, and when they get back to earth they’re still young men while ben and claire are in his 70s and 2. one time when i was a teenager i wrote a zelda fic where link (protagonist) was dead the ENTIRE TIME and princess zelda’s dad was trying to marry her off to some jerk prince and link’s ghost killed him but then he had to go to the afterlife. i normally despise character death which was probably why i did not finish this

L: What's the weirdest AU you've ever come up with?

i don’t normally dig aus, not even crossover/fusion aus, but this is a tie between two concepts i yelled about in tumblr posts and then never wrote because i’m not an au person. first one was a steve/bucky/peggy titanic au and the second was a bbc merlin anastasia au with arthur - of course - playing the amnesiac princess. both of those posts are still on my blog but i am way too embarrassed to link them LOL

(FANFIC ASK MEME)

[lizzexx]

Hi I have a question. If you had to choose a side in civil war who would you choose? I am team cap. Here are my reasons why. Someone else pointed these out but idk where I read them. Think of everything from Steve’s POV. He wakes up after being in the ice for decades and everything he knows and loves is gone to his knowledge. He is recruited by shield to stop Loki where he discovers that they are making weapons with the tesseract like hydra planned. Then he continues to work for them. (1)

Where he learned that shield founded by Peggy and Howard in his name has been infiltrated by hydra. So he basically went into the ice for no reason. Also during the battle of New York he witnessed the higher ups willing to destroy all of NY and everyone to destroy the aliens. So far everything run by the government has shown him why he can’t trust them. And no offense to Tony but I believe with or without government oversight he still would have created ultron. (2)

All Tony had to do was trust the other avengers and tell them his plan. If he did then most of them probably would have told him how bad an idea it was. Lol and looking back ultron probably would have done nothing against thanos. By the time he got to earth he had every stone except for the mind. He should have just been honest about his fears and then maybe things would not have gotten out of hand like they did. The rest of the avengers were forced to pick a side because of Tony’s mistakes. (3)

(I put the other parts here)

Hi! :) I would probably choose Team Captain too :) I think him seeing HYDRA inspired weapons and finding out SHIELD was compromised put a lot of Civil War in perspective for him. He could not trust that the people who wanted these oversights or registrations weren’t also compromised. For all he knows, the government might be trying to control heroes or eliminate them one at a time or turn them into weapons and how can they trust that the people they claim are the bad guys are bad without their own look into it? I don’t think Ultron would have done much against Thanos either, one snap or wave of a hand and he’d be crushed into a ball of metal and pretty useless :/ I feel like it was sort of a bit of a hypocrisy on Tony’s part to take the side he did, because it means sort of leading people and getting them to follow you and he’s proven he had a hard time doing that or being part of a team. His guilt over things influenced how he saw things, instead of holding firm in his beliefs :( I found it a little odd that the man who thrived in working solo advocated for being under the government’s thumb essentially :(

- and you and peter are hanging out one day

- and as all of these ideas happen

- you get ~inspired~ by the for you page

- you set up the camera, flipping it so that it's facing peter and not you

- the lil shit hasn't even noticed that you got up yet what a poop

- but as soon as the music starts playing he raises his head

- you're doing the supalonely dance like a fucking BOSS

- all while pretending to be looking at yourself in the camera

- you don't let yourself stare at the screen so you don't get distracted

- but

- of course

- peter is nodding his beat to the beat, clapping for you, and when you to the body roll thing on "drinking" he lets out a whoop that makes you wheeze

- when you finish you laugh, letting out a sigh and grabbing your phone

"not gonna lie, you ate that."

"i know."

- you sit back down next to him, heart rate in da Clouds, and start watching the video

- petey boi is just sitting there like a puppy, crooked smile on his face as he watches you

- in a few parts he's even doing the dance with you

- and he looks so in awe

- you can't stop watching it and smiling at the screen

- but then the fucker sits down next to you and is like "you should post that it was really good"

- so you show him it

- his face gets all red bc he's babey

"you were videoing me??"

- OKAY NEXT ONE

- so i think we all know the rosa videos

- for the b99 fans: rosa rosa rosaaaaaaaaaaaa

- she's a QUEEN

- and you constantly quote those things like

- every time there's a silent moment you're just like "you're fucking lying let me see" and the whole team (avengers squad) is like ayo stfu

- one day y'all are just hanging in the commons of headquarters

- we're getting the band back together!

- and you start videoing cause you're bored

- you point the camera at peter

"aye dude come here?"

- everybody groans and peter gives the camera a sassy look, tilting his head

"you're gay? i fuckin-"

"language," steve mutters

"-knew it dude!" you smile, zooming in on the camera

- peter gets a confused look on his face

"wait no i'm bi"

- tony effin SHOOTS UP

- sitting like there's a goddamn board in his back

- and he slowly turns his head in your direction

- eyebrow raised

- you bust out laughing and so does everyone else, including peter

- tony's looking around like "hey what the FUCK is HAPPENING"

"stark, you didn't know?"

"NO??"

- lol we stan bi peter parker

- aight BACK TO THE SHITS AND GIGGLES

- so you and peter are obsessed with that quirky tiktok bartender girl who makes all the drinks

- i forgot her name but she's like

we're gonna do 2 ounces so that's 1, 2, 3, 4! we're gonna give it a nice strain! andddd shake shake shake shake! fun, right?

- yk what i mean

- hi it's editing ryn it's her tiktok is like paradise bartender

- and so one day

- jk one NIGHT

- it's like 2 am

- and you and peter are like

- let's make lemonade. but like. Fake Alcohol Version Because We're Underage

- and so y'all run to the kitchen

- you almost crush and die from slipping on your socks

- the two of you and laughing and giggling as you run and around and get all your materials

"where is the fucking STRAINER"

"bitch idk help me find the lemon flavor packets"

- it takes FAR too long but y'all are finally ready

- you start recording and the two of you are already laughing

"hey guys so today-"

"TODAY" he pushes you to the side "we're gonna be making LEMONADE!"

- the two of you keep laughing as you shove each other trying to be the one in charge

- so basically

- peter gets water all over the counter

- some of the ice flies out when you shake it

- the strainer DOESN'T WORK AND ALL THE STUFF GETS EVERYWHERE

- and the small amount that lands in the cup tastes like whispering lemon

- like hella watered down there's like nothing there

- the lemon is SHY

- and then in the last 10 seconds of the video bucky walks in

- and he's like wtf... wait y'all are making lemonade??

- and the three of you end up making lemonade for real and drinking it while watching infomercials

- at two in the morning

- fun, right?

- those videos are so satisfying NEXT TIKTOK

- thank u ritxal for the idea !!

- so our boi PETE HERE

- is hella addicted to those cool pov videos

- and he gets a really good idea even though it would make him a SIMP

- he ends up deciding FUCK IT I'M MAKING ONE

- MY TIKTOK ACCOUNT IS PRIVATE ANYWAYS

- so he sets up his phone and jumps around to get ~~in the zone~~

- feeling stupid as hell

- he films one of those ones where it's the "from the other side" *noise!!!!!!!!* one's yk where the ppl are like "are you sure you want to __?" and it has the yes and no buttons

- you know

- i hope

- and he puts the text on it and shrugs, posting it

- meanwhile you're home and you get the notification that peter posted a tiktok

- obviously you click on it because

- uh

- because

- and you watch it and gasp because the caption says pov and ur like who tf is this man peter never posts povs

- you watch as peter is looking nervously at the camera and text pops up saying "are you sure you want to give up?"

- he presses yes and you're like oh god oh peter wait is this a sign shit FUCK

- a new text bubble pops up saying "do you want to see her?" and you fucking yeLP

- you're like holy FUCK WAIT WHO IS HER???? WIFE???? DAUGHTER?????? HUH!!!!!!!

- and then he presses yes

- and the screen goes black

- you see urself in the screen

- and you basically DIE

- a wheeze so hard that it hurts flies out of your mouth and you IMMEDIATELY PRESS DUET

- you start filming with your phone facing the ceiling and as the beat drops (or whatever when it's like ahhhh!) you pop onto the screen, smiling

- and you're like RANDOM CONFIDENCE BOOST WHATEVER POST

- and then BACK TO PETER'S PLACE

- HE GETS THE NOTIFICATION AND IS LIKE WHAT

- AND WHEN HE SEES YOU POP ONTO THE SCREEN HE'S LIKE HOLY FUCK

- AND SO HE FACETIMES YOU

- YOU ANSWER OBVI

"y/n what the hell"

"did you like it?"

"maybe"

- okay i wanna do another pov one so here we go

- i'm sure everyone here is acquainted with the "they call me tiago.. i don't know who's margo" ones

-  these are lowkey difficult to write out so i'm just gonna lay it out for you as best i can

- really trying here

- so peter posts the boy's voice part ("no no no... they call me tiago. i don't know who's margo? i just hit this lotto" etc etc etc)

- and when it's like idk who's margo he just holds a stare with the camera in like an InTiMiDaTiNg way

- even though he's babey and a literal puppy it actually like.. works

- and when you see it you're like yes so you post the other part (that people never do lol "her name is margo" etc all the female voicing)

- and you hold the stare too and EVEN LIKE RAISE YOUR EYEBROW SUGGESTIVELY AND GIVE HIM THE LOOK IYKYK

- so BASICALLY

- i'm really trying here i can visualize these tiktoks perfectly but GOD if i don't struggle a bit while writing them

PETER'S CAPTION: pov: we're rivals on separate missions but you keep screwing with my plans so i try to intimidate you

Y/N'S CAPTION: pov: we're rivals on separate missions but i found you cute so i decide to mess around with your mission

- OH BY THE WAY THE TWO OF YOU LIVE AT AVENGERS HEADQUARTERS AND HE POSTED "YESTERDAY" SO YOU DECIDE TO POST "TODAY" AND WALK OUT OF YOUR ROOM TO WHERE HE WAS IN THE COMMONS RIGHT AFTER YOU POSTED

- can y'all tell how messy my brain is holy shit

- pls forgive me i keep getting random ideas but IT ADDS TO THE CHAOS SO IT'S FINE RIGHT

- OKAY

- BACK AGAIN

- so you post and walk out and as you turn the corner to the commons you can hear the sound play and have to stop a moment to silently scream

- thankfully no one else was in there except for peter (whose back was to you) otherwise you woulda looked INSANE

- you walk up behind him and smile as he laughs slightly and watches it another time, pulling his phone closer to his face to read the caption

"holy shit," he mutters

- he closes his eyes and smiles and tilts his head back, resting it on the back of the couch (🥺)

"you like it?"

- lol

- this kid SHOOTS UP

- HELLO

"oh my god, y/n, what are you doing"

"coming to hang out with you??"

- he sighs as you come and plop down next to him

"what the hell is this"

- he shows you his phone

"a tiktok"

- he smiles and shakes his head (doing that thing where you like look down while doing it and it's so CUTE)

"yeah. i got that."

- NEXT TIKTOK

- alright guess the scenario

- just fucking guess

- i'll wait

- ...

- you'd best BELIEVE that y'all are chilling at headquarters in the commons rn

- where da HELL ELSE

- and

- like LITERALLY EVERY OTHER TIKTOK THAT I WRITE OUT IN THESE

- YOU AND PETE BE CHILLIN

- AND YOU SET UP YOUR PHONE

- god i'm starting to question if i'm capable of writing literally anything else damn

- peter's in the background of course

- and it's this godforsaken audio i'm sure most of you have heard

- you know the one where it's like fast music and then it goes "mm, yeah" and it's usually accompanied with a video of some really pretty girl fake moaning and like rolling her eyes while pushing up her hair??

- well

- all of that

- everything i just said

- is exactly what you do

- and the thing is

- as soon as peter hears the audio he recognizes it

- are we gonna talk about the fact that peter probably spent at least a whole night watching those videos because 1) girls are really pretty and 2) every time he heard it he could vividly imagine you doing it??????? no??? okay

- so he like

- sits up

- does the thing where he rests his forearms on his knees and leans forward, glaring at you through the camera

- and in the background

- if you're paying attention

- peter FLIPS HIS SHIT WHEN YOU DO THE "MM YEAH" PART

- he tHROWS HIS ARMS IN THE AIR LIKE WHAT THE HELL DUDE I THOUGHT I GAVE YOU SIGNS THAT EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT A COUPLE AND WE BOTH KNOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE OUT OF SPITE,, DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY OFF LIMITS!!!!!!!

"Y/N!"

- it's still recording and you turn around and laugh, throwing your head back as he jumps up and grabs you by the waist, pulling you in

- the two of you start play fighting just like elio and oliver from cmbyn (but a bit less steamy yk?? more innocent yet still w a bit of tension yeye)

- needless to say you keep that video in a very special place of your heart

- and so does peter like once the two of you stop wrestling you realize that the video had just been looping behind the sound of your laughter and fighting y'all watch it and it loops a few times while the two of you are silent and he finally goes "can you uh. can you send that. to me. ???????"

- next oneeeeeeeeeeeeee

- thank u lilmissquackson for the idea <3

- so in this one you and petey are dating

- and y'all decide to do the put a finger down challenge lol

- but instead of using an audio y'all decide to switch off coming up with ones on the spot

"put a finger down if your boyfriend tackles you every time you're standing near a couch or bed"

"put a finger down if your girlfriend still calls you dude"

"put a finger down if your boyfriend once webbed you to the wall because you wouldn't stand still when he was trying to kiss you"

"put a finger down if your girlfriend used her telepathic powers to keep you out of her room when she was mad at you"

"put a finger down if your boyfriend took TWO YEARS TO ASK YOU OUT"

"put a finger down if your girlfriend started laughing after you told her you liked her"

"put a finger down if you only started laughing because it TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH"

"put a finger down if your girlfriend showed no signs of liking you before you decided to ask her out"

"put a finger down if your boyfriend is the most oblivious boy in the world"

"put a finger down if you're in love with your girlfriend but haven't said 'i love you' yet because you're scared she won't say it back"

- your jaw drops and turn to him

- needless to say you were very glad to have caught your first "i love you"s on camera

- SIDE NOTE you did not post cause after you and peter watched the video back y'all were both like "we don't wanna be THOSE bitches"

- next one woop

- thank u MrsLillianAmbrose for the idea !!

- okay buds

- so here's the thing

- i hate to under-perform

- but i feel like the best way to get the full effect of this tiktok is to watch it and then just roll with me here

- SOOOOO (if u can)

1) open tiktok 2) search @_tharealjohnnyyy_ 3) go to his account (or it might just show up when you search) 4) and scroll to the "ways to cuddle" video 5) it was posted in february 2020 if that helps give u a time reference lol

- OKAY

- I HOPE Y'ALL GOT TO WATCH IT

- I TRIED JUST PUTTING IT IN HERE BUT WATTPAD WOULDN'T LET ME AND I COULDN'T FIND IT ON YOUTUBE (let me know if one of u does!!!)

- if u weren't able to watch it (i'm so sorry) i'm gonna do the best i can to at least make this entertaining

- WOOP

- so if you could see the tiktok that's really all this is

- you and peter doing literally the same thing

- y'all are giggling in between positions and peter struggles to set the camera up every time it falls

- he ends up just webbing it to the ceiling

- and in the end the two of you fall asleep in the reverse OG position with your fingers playing with his hair 🥰🥰

- i hope that was good enough im sorry AH

- next!!

- thank u Mendesmycam for the idea <33

- okay so y'all know that sound

SOMETHING ABOUT YA GORLL

REALLY MAKES MY HEADDDD WANNA TWIRLLLLLLLLLL

- or whatever the lyrics are

- those tiktoks are SO FUNNY

- AND YOU DECIDE TO COPY THEM

- so you grab a chair and sit peter down in the middle of the room and set the camera up

- luckily for you he has a bag of cheez-its in hand that you plan to utilize later

- babey has a confused look on his face as he watches you press play and he shoves some more cheez-its in his mouth

- the music starts playing and you just about bust out laughing as you walk all around him, running your hand across his chest

- his heart is racing he's like AYO WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN ON

"y/n what the hell are you-"

SOMETHING ABOUT YOU GIRL

- you practically snap into a weird position

- ur freaking arms are out in front of you and you're on your toes and knees are bent and you're hunched over and it's like

- a very interesting pose

- peter BUSTS OUT LAUGHING

- his eyes are all crinkly as he bends over in the chair

- you just about break but you manage to keep a straight face as you start dancing around weirdly

- needless to say you look like a goddamn CONTORTIONIST

- peter can't stop wheezing

- you make one of your hands in the shape of like the italian man hand this iykyk and fucking SWAN DIVE YOUR FINGERS INTO HIS CHEEZ-IT BAG

- meanwhile peter's STILL DYING

- and you take the cheezits and lean back, sprinkling them all over you (like the popcorn one if you saw that tiktok lmao)

- and the video finally ends and you get to laugh

"y/n what the hell was that"

"i don't know i thought you might enjoy a little entertainment"

- and of course

- that's exactly when no other than SAM WILSON fucking strolls in

- hey how y'all doin'- AHHH (get yo fucking dog bitch! ~it don't bite~ YES IT DO GET YO-)

- sorry got distracted

- and he hears you and his head SPINS ON OVER TO Y'ALL'S DIRECTION

"a little what now?"

- AIGHT GUYS

- LAST ONE

- Y'ALL ARE AT HEADQUARTERS CAUSE WHERE DA HECK ELSE

- this time you're in peter's room though

- and i'd like to imagine this one with the cool led lights because 1) tiktok and 2) i feel like peter would have those in his room

- y'all are just chilling watching hot rod (GREAT MOVIE BTW)

- and

- peter sets up the camera

- not to mention his heart is RACING RN CAUSE HE'S A NERVOUS BEAN

- and he hits record and leans back, letting out a sigh

- you don't even notice his phone literally right there cause you're just enjoying the movie

- a few seconds into the video and petey is like Visibly Freaking Out

- but a funny part plays and you laugh, looking over at him to see if he found it funny too

- he notices you're turning your head so he's like YES I LOOK AT TV HOT ROD MOVIE I AM LOOKING THAT WAY AND WASN'T STARING AT YOU OR THE CAMERA YES THIS IS A FUNNY PART I AM LAUGHING

- and then you look away

- and then he looks at you

- and ever so lightly grabs you by the chin

- and pulls you to him and plants his lips on yours

- finally, dumbass

Who’d have thought so many mundane advertisements were so suggestive?

Ao3 Writer tag meme

Tagged by @puella-peanut.  Hi darling <3 Love seeing your comments and likes on things.

AO3 name: TrashAYfanfiction

Fandoms: Mainly Banana Fish, I have dabbled in Star Wars. I love Hydra Trash Party (Captain America) but have a lot of anon fills I have lost track of. I didn’t mean to get into writing Billy/Steve Stranger Things, but it found me. I read a bit of everything. If i have watched the show, i usually dabble in fandom.

Tropes: I’m an emo bitch. I like angst, drama, hurt/comfort. But I also have a hard-on for fluffy friends-to lovers. I yearn for being a young dumb teen having a good time.

Number of fics: 67 but i’ve been at this a while. I don’t feel like i write that often. Banana Fish being made into an anime might have been my main inspiration to write in my adult life, and I don’t know when that will happen again. (I’m particularly emo atm, so....)

Fic I spent the most time on: “Fighting Me” my Stranger Things Billy/Steve fic. It was never meant to be 30k, and i have never wrote that much before, so Im very happy with it. It’s also my first story with a beginning/middle/end conclusion. I didn’t outline it, but I was able to experience their relationship as it naturally evolved. It took me nearly 6 months! But also most of my BF fics take place in my own continuous universe, kinda the same universe as the story but with some of my own liberties. So  guess you could say they are all together one long fic.

Fic I spent the least time on: No idea. I do writing sprints, but now i edit before i upload. My early fics were written in oneshot without editing, and i kinda liked that because it was a raw stream of consciousness and emotions.

Longest fic: Fighting Me Billy/Steve

Shortest fic: One More Night (Ash/Eiji) written all the way back in 2016 (maybe earlier, might have been a re-upload from fanfiction net). 199 words, back then a 500 word fic was avenge for me, now I average about 2k

Most hits: Oh dear..... I’ve never looked at this stat before. Nympho (Anakin/Obiwan) (10115 hits). I’m assuming just because Star Wars is a bigger fandom and prequel/clone wars fans have their own energy? Also this is an older fic. I’m a little embarrassed by this, because it was originally a fill for a kink meme and has a bunch of nasty requests.

Most kudos: Spare Key Ash/Eiji (318) This is another one i’m kinda embarrassed of. I think it was originally called ‘F*ggot” or something like that. And i’ve had the most hate comments from it. I’ve been told i have a homophobia fetish over it, and well, i guess i do. I’m a bi guy and there is something relatable about the vulnerability.

Most comment threads: Fighting Me (45), but probably just because it went on for so long and that ST is a bigger fandom. Second runner up is Loving Ash (38) my Ash/Eiji alternate ending that speculates issues they’d have long term, so the comments were a lot of discussion of how Ash would cope with normal life. I’m still really proud of this fic, even at only 3k words I think it has good pacing and timing. It’s also one of the only fics i’ve ever wrote from Eiji’s pov.

Most bookmarks: Nympho (32)...goddamn i gotta check on this fic, why is this so popular, Fighting Me (30). I love when people leave comments when they bookmark, it makes me smile how they summarize it.

Total word count: No idea. Don’t make me add it up.

Favorite fic I wrote: Loving Ash is probably my fave. I feel it’s sensitive and vulnerable. I also really like Feelings of Loneliness, another alternate end where Ash escapes to the Caribbean with Blanca.

Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: I eventually want to make a part 2 to ‘Stupid Desire”, which is an ash/eiji fic where Ash has impromptu sex with eiji before leaving to seduce kippard. Ash reconciling with is own desires/bodily needs with eiji and trying to differentiate if having sex with Eiji because he wanted to is any different than voluntarily seducing kippard. I still don’t know what Ash’s conclusion is, I’ll need to write it to find out.

Hello! I've been searching for this fic for ages and i'm wondering if you might know what it is? My memory is a bit fuzzy but it basically follows Bucky after the fall from the train and IIRC he spends three days trapped (under a rock I think??) and so is forced to cut off his arm to survive.

The second is maybe a cockwarming fic / maybe a somnophilia fix where one of the boys falls asleep while the other boy (Steve I think?) Is in the middle of sex and they just stay that way for a long time before he wakes back up.

Can I ask for help finding this fic? From what I remembered Fate realizes that in every universe Steve and Bucky are always separated so she gives Steve a device to go into those timelines to correct it.

Hey I accidentally swiped out of the doc I was reading! It was an AU where Bucky was a siren caught by Pierce and was being tortured by Brock. Steve was hired as the new handler and planned to help Bucky escape back to the ocean after realizing he was more human than animal. Pierce also thinks he’s some sort of god and need Bucky to sing to complete part of a spell. Please help me find this fic!! I was really enjoying it and I left off on a cliff hanger!

PART 1

Vic’s POV 

     It's been well over a month and there's been no sign that the syndicate might be moving in on me. It's another sunny morning as I sit at the kitchen counter. Tony had given me a room to stay in while I’m in town and is even letting me assist Happy in security. Fed up with the millions of thoughts and worries flooding my mind, I toss my half-eaten toast into the garbage and chug the last of my coffee. Already in my workout out clothes, I walk swiftly towards the elevator. Upon entering the elevator, I hit the button for the gym and begins planning my workout. 

     Upon entering the gym, I quickly scan the room. Steve, Sam, and Bucky are all rotating on the bench press while cutting up and laughing amongst themselves. I find Clint and Natasha sparring in the boxing ring. This leaves my favorite spot open. After putting in my headphones and choosing a rock and roll playlist, I wrap my hands. Once wrapped and ready, I realize that with a gym full of people I'll have to go easy on the punching bag, so I begin with a slower pace and only about a quarter of my potential force. 

     Within time, I have built up a reasonable speed and made it to half force. My mind begins to clear and my focus settles on the bag in front of me. After a while, I lose focus of how fast and heavy I'm punching. I only stop when I knock the bag clean off the stand. As the realization hits, I look around to see who all might have noticed. Unfortunately, I’m met with all five pairs of eyes plus my brother's. 

     I remove my headphones and begin to explain, "M-military training, right?" The shock written on every face proves that they don't fully believe that it's just because of my military training.  

     Steve is the first to speak up, "Vic, I think we all can agree that isn't simple military training." It's now that the lightbulb smacks Tony over the head and he grabs my wrist and begins tugging me to the lab. 

     "Tony what are you doing?" I ask, shocked at his sudden change of behavior. He pops on sterile gloves and begins pulling out a kit to take blood.  

     "I'm taking some of your blood to test it because obviously you're not going to inform us of what happened to you," he snaps.  

     "Tony, 'I was forcibly injected with a prototype super soldier serum,' isn’t exactly the best coming home opener. And we've been so busy lately that I haven't really found the time to tell you guys." The surrounding audience is in shock.  

     "Super soldier serum?" That's kind of something you should've told us about when you came back from being Missing in Action!" Tony bellowed. I turn to storm out of the room, leaving our audience in shock. 

     Once safely locked away in my room, I take a hot shower and then curl up under my blankets with my room’s PA System blasting rock and roll to drown out the thoughts in my head. Sometime during the playlist, I fall asleep. A knock on the door brings me out of my slumber. I ignore it, assuming it is Tony coming to ask more questions. Then F.R.I.D.A.Y. lowers the volume to alert me, "Miss Stark, Mr. Rogers is at your door. Would you like me to let him in?"  

     Out of curiosity I sit up and responds, "Go ahead." 

     The door is unlocked and Steve enters, "That was quite a show."  

     I rub my face, "Sorry, he hit a nerve that he doesn't realize is there."  

     Steve gestures to the end of the bed, "May I?"I nod so, Steve takes a seat on the end of my bed, "He's worried. I know how he feels. You think you've lost the closest person to you and then one day they show back up again. Except your enhancements weren't as noticeable as Bucky's. Which reminds me you should talk to Buck; I think you two will have a lot in common." I look down and scratch my head. "Look, I didn't come to scold you. I didn't come to try to convince you to talk to Tony. I just came to reassure you that he didn't mean to hurt you and that there is someone that understands you." With this he leaves the room. 

      The next morning, the team had scheduled a family breakfast of sorts. I get dressed and join the team in the kitchen. The smell of coffee is strong in the air as everyone seems to thrive off it. I collect my breakfast from the spread of food on the counter and begin scanning the room for where to sit. I notice Bucky sitting alone in a corner of the living room. He looks like he hasn’t slept in days and ignores the others as they happily chat. I decide to sit in the chair next to him which was likely vacated due to the death glare on Bucky’s face. I send a small smile his way as I settle into the chair and begin eating. Surprisingly he doesn’t shoo me away. Instead, he smiles back at me and asks how I slept. The two of us carry on a nice conversation as we finish our food and head for the gym.

PART 3 || Masterlist

Taglist:

[serendipitousrambles]

While I completely agree with your point, I see where the anon and a lot of Mileven shippers in general would have seen their relationship as reduced to shallow and very young-teen flingy and I honestly think it’s down to the break up. Not even the particular circumstances but the fact that they broke up to begin with when we watched s2 and after everything they really seemed like they’d mean more to eachover then ‘it’s over’ over something so minuscule and stupid as a misunderstanding (1/2)

i'll have to agree and say mileven of s1 and s2 were way more deep and intense than it was this season, it felt like their break up was just for comedic purposes and not exactly to make them stronger than before, i mean it was basically hopper and max's fault that they kept apart from each other, you could see than non of them wanted to be broken up, max says "ex boyfriend" to el and she looks so sad, if felt so out of what mileven truly means in this show, their bond is more than that…

(Idk if this was actually the part two but no one put a 2/2 so I'm just left to guess at this point)

///

Mileven this season showed that they are still teens. 

That whilst they do have this intimate, unique bond that's far more than just a teen relationship, they themselves are still teens. They're both trying to figure out what dating and being in love means. Even if they feel it they might not know how to really express it. And i think this season does a good job of reminding us that despite everything they are all still young teens.

I think at the moment of the breakup neither really seemed to think it was a permanent thing. Not really thinking about what being broken up means since they've probably seen Lucas and Max "break up" 5 times already and gotten back together. This silly misunderstanding probably actually meant a lot more to El than we initially think. 

I was thinking about it and I realised that maybe El feels left out. She can't really do much yet (as Steve seemed shocked she was even at the mall) except hang out with her friends and Mike. Suddenly Mike lies and she can't see him which is sad. But she only considers "dumping him" when she sees him hanging out with his friends. She maybe feels like she's not wanted or not enough for Mike (which is ridiculous but hear me out) since we saw how upset she was seeing Max with him in s2 (it could be jealousy of another girl but I also think part of it was the fact that she's scared her friends don't need her or want her anymore now they have Max). So really I think there's a deeper reason for the "break up" than we initially thought.

I think them breaking up allowed them to realise how important to each other they are. Since it's being broken up that Mike realises why he was acting this way and that reason is that he loves her (*see the blank makes you crazy scene).

In times of crisis they revert back to their original strong bond of holding on to each other and El calling out for Mike, just like S1 and 2. It's classic mileven how they rely on each other for comfort and when it came down to the danger, this was their natural reaction - to comfort each other.

As for Max saying "ex boyfriend" El does look sad and I think that's because she didn't really realise what being broken up means or didn't really think about it in the long run. But Max was just trying to give her advice. The advice doesn't work for a relationship like Mike and El's where it's both innocent and fun but also intense and mature? Again it's down to her not fully understanding that bond and relationship they have (tbh not even Mike and El seem to really understand the weight of their feelings until almost losing each other again - or at least willing to admit it)

Basically mileven this season was a lot deeper and intimate than it looks from just an outside pov but when you start to look into it you start to see that Mileven is just as close, if not closer than before
