After SIX FUCKING MONTHS

I finally got a new chapter up.

There's a lot more explanation of why it took so long in the notes of the chapter, but I hope you enjoy!

btw, this fic is NOT abandoned, life's just sort of been kicking my ass for the past 6 months. . .

Thorbruce Doggy AU WIP idk if I’m ever gonna finish this lol

[fuuecoco]

i've had writer's block for years and someone explain to me how the most i've written is this absolutely GARBAGE thorbruce au where bruce is a parapsychologist and thor gets hired as his assistant and it’s the 70s and i wrote it essentially based on this image in my head of thor going into a pub for a job interview and can't see anything for all the cigarette smoke in there and then bruce in his nice little shirt just Emerges and something something then they investigate ghosts together . there’s also a séance held by mysterio with a levitating table and thor is so excited to see the table fly

[alwaysonlineau]

hi! welcome to the always online au!

for anyone who was into the hype of parkner back in late 2019/the early quarantine days, this might be a little bit familiar to you. basically, this is a social media au for marvel that i created when getting into parkner and thompsborn and when one of the main wlw ships was mj/shuri. it consisted of screenshots of (obviously fake) social media accounts (mainly twitter) of some of the marvel characters and it was mostly shitposting with a tiny hint of a plot. however, because of the mental health kick that came with quarantine, i ended up deleting the account while in a depression drop.

it’s been over 3 years and i honestly miss making this au, as it was just fun and gave me something to do, and a few days ago i realized that i still have the apps i used when i originally made this au and all of the fake tweets and messages were still on them, so… well.

basically, i decided to bring it back!

so, if you don’t remember or never saw this au when it was originally happening, you might have some questions! under the cut is a very basic q&a:

what is the always online au about?

nothing! also everything! like i said, it was entirely a shitpost account that very vaguely had a plot, but it was 100% just something i did in my free time for fun!

it’s essentially me throwing my sense of humor in a box with ships and characters that i like and then violently shaking it until something that i find funny comes out and then i would post it !!

ships and characters? which ones?

like i mentioned above, i made this during like the late 2019-2020 era of parkner hype, so, obviously, it was mainly parkner (peter parker/harley keener) BUT it also features many other marvel ships! i am going to be changing the ships up a bit to better match my current preferences. i’ll include a list of ships below this paragraph, but first, this is also going to include PLENTY of platonic/familial dynamics as well! so if you love stucky, sorry they aren’t dating in this but they are obviously besties, and there’s irondad, stuff like that, okay? i’ll try to include it all!

ships:

parkner (peter parker/harley keener)

ironhusbands (tony stark/james rhodes)

gwemj (gwen stacy/michelle jones)

peppermay (pepper potts/may parker)

sambucky (sam wilson/bucky barnes)

thompsborn (harry osborn/flash thompson)

nedbetty (ned leeds/betty brant)

thorbruce (thor/bruce banner)

and more that i will add to this list as i figure them out! suggestions are more than welcome!

characters include everyone in the above mentioned ships (obviously lol) as well as any and all marvel/mcu characters that feel relevant to include! such as:

happy hogan

shuri

t’challa

the guardians of the galaxy

matt, foggy and karen from daredevil

funny accounts for villains

norman osborn (ew)

loki (and maybe mobius? maybe include that ship too? i haven’t watched loki season 2 yet so we’ll see i guess lmao)

and more! again, i am open to suggestions!

if anyone has ideas for characters, ships, or dynamics to include, feel free to message me or send an ask!!

how often should i expect updates?

that one is kind of tricky, because i am an adult with a full time job who is also balancing hobbies and family and everything all at the same time. this is something that i’ll try to work on during my free time, and when i did this before it wasn’t hard to make updates once i figured out what i wanted to do for them, but still, my free time kind of depends on the day and the week.

i’m not going to commit to a strict schedule, but i don’t work weekends so my goal is to update every weekend! if i miss a weekend, i’ll try to get it posted during the week, and if i have a week with extra free time, i’ll do some additional posts as well.

i’ll do my best to be regular with it!!

anything else i should know?

yes! this is an ongoing creative project that i’m doing for fun, and i want it to be fun for anyone and everyone who may come across it! that means i want it to be interactive!! this is something i did before, as well.

for instance, when i was running this au in 2019/2020, someone sent an ask wanting to see harley finding out about the vulture after him and peter start dating, so i answered the ask with this:

obviously this au isn’t picking up from where the old one left off, so those tweets are not considered canon to the current always online au, BUT that’s just an example! i want people to feel free to send in asks and questions for the characters or for situations, and i will do my best to make it fit into the canon of the au!!

i think that’s it?

if anyone has any additional questions, comments, or concerns they would like me to address, feel free to send them in! i’m going to try to get the first update of this au posted today (october 17, 2023) but no promises! if not today, it WILL be up tomorrow!

once the official au is being posted, i’m also going to create a pinned post that links to this one as well as all the au updates and anything else necessary to include (like the tagging system i’m going to create and things like that) so that will be posted shortly after the first update is out! for now, thank you for reading!

i hope to see you guys always online ;)

Fanfic Tag Game

Tagged by @softest-punk and @landwriter, thank you both!

1. How many fics do you have on AO3? 133

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? I will break 400K with the next thing I post (unless it is somehow less than 401 words lol) Also, this would require actually focusing on something to finish it

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently? Sandman (technically, Dreamling). Previously? MCU, Naruto, Saiyuki, and Gundam Wing

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? Overall (these are from my Naruto days and more than ten years old): Delayed (or, Why Kakashi Is Never On Time) (GaiKaka) at 3963 Past the Limits (KakaNaru) at 1272 Affirmation (KakaNaru) at 1022 Worth It (KakaIru) at 1005 Vigil (GaaNaru) at 843 (It kills me that I am Just Not That Into Kakashi and yet he's fucked his way into four of my top five, lol)Current fandom tops, just for fun (all of which are at most a year-plus-change in age) Use Your Words at 443 Insatiable at 398 Fluffbruary Fills (2023) at 375 In the Morning Light at 318 Built For You at 308

5. Do you respond to comments? Yes, generally! I am still catching up on Fluffbruary comments, much to my chagrin

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Going aaaallllll the way back to Gundam Wing, I did a songfic where I implied a breakup until the final-line reveal that the character had gasp actually died. There may be a couple other angst-based pieces in my catalog, but that I think is the Most(tm).

7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Most everything I write is a happy ending, when there's any semblance of plot involved. Uh. The Umbrella Boys AU had a wedding; maybe that counts? Either that or the Thessaly breakup fic with all the hurt-comfort pining that finally resolves into requited realization.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Never have, would like to keep it that way.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? The good kind *eyebrow waggle*

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I have…three, that could be counted as crossovers, and one that's a proper fusion. None of them are particularly crazy. Duo and Wufei did Naruto roleplay in the bedroom. Kakashi and Naruto took on Princess Bride's fire swamp. Gojyo and Hakkai acquired Jiipu from Count D and his pet shop with a complete disregard for the fourth wall. Maybe that one, then, though it's more crack than crazy-crossover. Hob wearing the Wavemother's Robe is not enough of anything to count as a crossover.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of, no

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes! I don't recall which ones but I've had requests to translate to Chinese, to Russian, and I think Spanish as well? Possibly French also. My memory is shit. Je suis désolé.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic? Yeah, a friend and I co-wrote a couple back in GW and it was…fun? At the time? It started as me helping her with the smut portion of a thing she was doing and turned into a cowrite with a sequel. Not the sort of thing I'd have written on my own, and definitely not now twenty years later with my current kink preferences

14. What’s your all time favourite ship? …yeah, that's not a thing I can answer. Whichever I'm fixated on is inevitably my favorite at the time but once the fixation fades, I still have so much love for each of them.

15. What’s a fic you’d like to finish but don’t think you ever will? Oh my god there are so many. But there are two-three unfinished drafts for ThorBruce fic that I really—see, my MCU fandom experience soured so fast I did not have my usual three-year run of productive ficwriting and the ideas I was working on probably could have been finished were that not the case. I would still love to finish them but the motivation (let alone the time) is just not there.

16. What are your writing strengths? I take great pride in my smut, and I like to think I'm good at it. Painting pictures with my words? Maybe character voice, in certain cases.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Plot. Stories with plot and progression and chapters and such. Follow-through to finish pieces that don't get done in the initial burst of focus.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic? If I had a need for it at some point, I would want to consult a native speaker to ensure correct translation and I would include the translation in footnotes etc. But it would have to be some really specific reason that the foreign language was needed/integral to some story device to not just indicate via some other means (e.g., '"xyz," he said, in perfect French', use of italics, etc) that a different language is in use.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Gundam Wing. If we don't count the 'DS9 novel idea' that I recall making notes on in my journal back in high school, or any of the Mary Sue DS9 thoughts I would also journal about. None of that was ever 'actual writing' nor did I have anywhere I would have shared it in '96.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Again. How'm I supposed to pick? Ugh. Let's see, fandom by fandom. Gundam Wing…no, nothing there is a favorite. Saiyuki…When the Chips Are Down. Comedy gen-fic based on a tidbit of fandom lore is not something I manage terribly often but I am quite pleased with this one; Jiipu's pov always delights me and I'm proud of all the voice work here also. Naruto…maybe Seized? Sai POV is one of my strengths and I think it came through really well in that one. MCU…Carpe Diem, I'm very pleased with character voices in that one. Sandman…I remain very fond of the Drunken Confessions Fluffbruary 2023 fic and the Car and Cutoffs one might be my favorite smutfic. So far.

If you'd like to do this, please take my passive tag this has been sitting in my drafts for weeks.

[superblizzardfire]

He Blinded Me With Science

Co-written with @blueeyesblazing​ - ThorBruce professors au but Bruce also anonymously makes p0rn. Explicit. More chapters to come!

When visiting adjunct professor of anthropology Thor Odinson Googled for "local scientists gay" one warm spring evening, he wasn't exactly sure what he had been expecting to find nor how he had even ended up in this unfortunate situation. The fact was undeniable, though, that it was Friday, he was a stranger in a new city, and he had decided to stay home with a tub of Ben & Jerry's watching nature documentaries in his pajamas instead of doing something about it. Rather than contemplating that further, he added "hot with dark hair" to the search bar and hit the button. If academia had taught him anything, it was to be detailed in his queries.

He told himself that his interest was purely academic (ha ha), but even so he was disappointed when he saw the results. There were a couple of articles on famous LGBT scientists, a band called the Gay Mad Scientists and... adverts for ball shaving, for some reason. He might have had better luck with a dating app, but that implied commitment. Thor wasn't sure he was looking for commitment. It hadn't been too long since Jane dumped him (mutual dumping, he'd insisted afterwards).

He was idly scrolling through page twelve of the results when something caught his eye: "Jerking Off Whilst Reciting the Periodic Table (Can I Make it Past Iridium?)". The link definitely didn't lead to a dating website. Thor hesitated, intrigued. He glanced up at the TV, where a pair of giraffes were mating enthusiastically. He supposed the evening had been building towards this. Thor downed the melted dregs of his ice cream, put it to one side and furtively wiped his hand on his pants. He clicked the link.

Read the rest on AO3!

thoughts on mentor/apprentice or boss/employee?

Hee

1. Ships that fit

Nandermo!! Its movement away from this actually made me lose interest

2. Opinion

Ok so like boss/employee is kinda boring unless its got very service kink undertones for me. But oooo mentor/apprentice is so good because of that added aspect of this person being a teacher, a mentor. Often comes with free age gap and thats a bonus! Basically the more power imbalance, the sexier.

3. What Id read

If it fits the specifications, Im in pretty much. Weirdly thinking about Thorbruce student/prof au which I likely wouldnt read because Im not fond of au but its sexy to think about.

[captainenjolras]

[plumsaregood]

do you think thor and bruce like dancing? like they don’t go out to dance but they dance within the comfort of their own home. the radio is playing softly, bruce can’t really dance but thor teaches him.

[i-am-the-hero-alfred-jones]

Couldn't get a Marvel HS AU out of my head, so enjoy!

[marveleous]

i want a stony or thorbruce high school musical au.

that’s right, i want steve or thor: best jock’s in the school, best ones on the team for football or basketball who fall in love with theater thanks to the genius scientists tony and bruce. they have to fight against loki and clint, who are the theater kings of the school for the lead parts in the musical. i need this now someone please provide content im literally begging like imagine them singing what i’ve been looking for and bop it to the top ohmygod

[fuuecoco]

kinda scared to post this because truly i feel ashamed of my writing and of what i’ve written but like i said in the author’s note i want to shake off the power that shame has over me and accept that sometimes maybe i write weird cringy things and that maybe, just maybe, other people might like them

so here is a pre-slash thorbruce star wars au written mostly in the middle of the night (and my brain gets a little weird at night). there is also some poly stuff going on so there’s side bruce/scott lang as an established relationship

i am honestly kinda into this weird world i keep thinking about at 2am so i would be into writing more of it and exploring other relationships and other characters ...

and also if you have ever been like “where is the thorbruce parapsychology au” the answer was that it got eaten by the shame monster :(

[bruceandthor]

ThorBruce headcannons

Thor fell in love with Bruce first. He realized the moment Bruce told him he was coming with him to fight Hella even though he was basically powerless.

The act of kindness wrecked Thor and he fell in love so quick

When they made it back to earth and found each other again everything felt like it was in slow motion.  

Thor wasn't sure about anything and he had been so scared he'd lost Bruce too and he just kissed him so hard he couldn't breath

When he pulled away, Bruce was crying.

He thought he messed up but Bruce kissed all over his face saying stuff like ‘I'm so happy you're okay’ and ‘I couldn't wait to finally kiss you’

Thor took this as obvious exception and they finally became a couple

After everything they grieve together

Bruce knows he could never understand what Thor is going through, but he also knows that Thor needs him

They stay in bed together and they talk about everything.

Some days they don't talk at all, but stay together and listen to the silence.  

After a couple months they start to move around again. they start going out and helping people.

After awhile though, they both decide they want more.  

They leave the Avengers and move out into the country

They have a small farm

Thor loves animals and working out in the barn

Bruce likes the quiet and how the days flow together.  

They keep in touch with everyone of course, and they sometimes even visit, but most days they spend with each other

They watch movies and dance

They make dinner together every night and go for walks

Thor loves taking pictures and he does constantly.

Anytime Bruce is cooking, or when they walk along the lake, or when he thinks Bruce looks beautiful while they are making love.  

He loves Poliarads, and they have a wall in the house dedicated to them

not the naughty ones but most of them

They want kids, but that would be much later in their marriage.  

Oh btw they are married

For now they have a cat named a Socks, a dog named Benjamin, a few cows, some chickens, and a horse

Socks is a black cat with white paws and a big white belly

He like sunbathing and sitting on Bruce's lap

He can be an asshole to Thor because he can be a little rough but most of the time he just wants to be pet

hella sassy cat

Benjamin is a German Pointer Lad mix

Basically 15 pounds of pure muscle and fur

He's also pure good boy

He helps around the farm with the chickens and cows

Thor adores this dog like loves him so much

Bruce walks him in the mornings when he wakes up and he's super chill

Thor does most of the work for the animals, as he likes the structure of getting up in the morning and going to work

Bruce sometimes helps, though he finds that he only gets into Thor's way.

He did help a lot with the building of the actual barn though.

Turns out Hulk really likes building.

Thor is super happy that they found at least one positive outlet for Hulk and he tries to help Hulk find more things he likes.  

Hulk really likes gardening

He has a green thumb (I hate me too) and Thor makes his wear a sunhat and he looks super cute in it.  

Husband Thor!

They grow a lot of their own food thanks to Hulk, but oddly enough, Bruce cannot garden for shit.  

Usually this means he hulks out once a day

Bruce finds its a lot easier to switch back and forth, and the transitions are a lot less painful

He feels like being able to be hulk out in such a safe place helps.  

He doesn't have to worry about people seeing him and judging him or getting scared

Soon hulk barely has to ask to switch

Bruce tells Thor it's kinda feels like taking a nap but he wakes up tired after hulking out

It's a good tired though, and he sleeps really well after letting hulk out to garden or do work around the barn

Thor loves that Bruce finally feels safe, and he loves that he finally feels safe

They make love all the time

Like everyday tbh

They just can't help being all over each other

They're also in the middle of nowhere so loud sex is great any time of the day

They have sex with the windows open, and when the air is getting cooler it bites at their skin

Bruce loves the way Thor looks when he pulls his hair or kisses his neck

Thor loves the way Bruce looks when he talks dirty to him, or when he leaves hickeys on his shoulders

They kiss constantly.

Like actually constant

Wake up kiss, get out of bed kiss, getting back in bed to have sex kiss, breakfast kiss so on.

Thor loves kissing Hulk too.  Hulk get all squirmie with affection, but when Thor kisses him Hulk always kisses back

Thor loves to compliment his just to make him blush

Hulk loves to pick up Thor and spin him around.

Big Hulk hug

Hulk grows his own weed 2k19

Thor finds the habit to be smelly, but it makes Bruce giggly so he's alright with it

Weed doesn't really affect Thor in the way it does Bruce

It makes him much more mellow, and while he enjoys the feeling, he doesn't smoke as much as Bruce

Him and Bruce like to go for long walks every night.

Usually they bring Benjamin and explore the forest they live in

Thor knows the whole place like the back of his hand, while Bruce still sometimes gets a little lost

Benjamin knows how to get him back though if Thor isn't there

When they do go into the closest town they ride on Bruce's motorcycle

Thor loves the motorcycle and loves being on the back of it

Bruce got his license when they moved, seeing as Thor couldn't actually drive, and they didn't really need a car.

Bruce also loves riding.  

The wind in his hair and Thor's warm body on his back

They usually leave the house once or twice a week

On Friday they have date night and grocery shopping

The normality of it all is amazing to them

Sometimes people spot them and ask for pictures but mostly people leave them alone.

Bruce thinks it's because most of the people in the town don't have internet

That was sorta the point of moving there.

When they do leave leave, the usually bring Socks and Benjamin and have someone stay and keep up the barn

They visit the Avengers, mostly Tony, Natasha and Steve

They always bring stuff for the garden to everyone and let them play with Ben and Socks

Steve loves Socks so much he is constantly loving on him

Nastasha on the other hand is always playing when Benjamin.

She takes him on his nightly walks so Bruce and Thor can relax

or at least that's what she tells them

morning jogs with Benjamin is her favorite

Benjamin enjoys it as well

Tony makes dinner for everyone with stuff from the garden and they have dinner together at the tower
