Ask WIP Title Game! ✉️

Tysm for the tag, @scorchieart! 💜

RULES: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

(So.. here's the deal have a ton of snippets but they're not usually named until I'm done with them, or unless it's the theme/inspiration. Most of mine are just called like "silvio smut 2" or "yukimura birthday" at this stage, sorry to disappoint. Pretty sure one's just named "learning and butchering italian for Silvio" or smth lmao.)

Here's some working titles for some of my WIP's!

❁ "Eternally Cursed" ㅡ Jude Jazza

❁ "Afterglow" ㅡ Harrison Gray

❁ "Tesoro" ㅡ Silvio Ricci

❁ "Soaked" ㅡ Marius von Hagen

❁ "Little Riccis" ㅡ Silvio Ricci

❁ "Just Business" ㅡ Jude Jazza

❁ "Tsuki" ㅡ Kagari Amagase

❁ "Our Firsts" ㅡ Grim (ADWD)

❁ "Jealousy" ㅡ Grim (ADWD)

❁ "Lifetimes" ㅡ Sylus

❁ "Fishie Jr." ㅡ Rafayel

❁ "Be My Valentine" ㅡ Silvio Ricci

❁ "My Villain's Keeper" ㅡ Harrison Gray

Tagging: Feel free to reblog with your own! 💜

I'm not sure who's already done this, so I don't wanna risk bugging anyone since I've been away and unaware. Sending much love out to all of you, and a little extra to all the writers, artists, translators, gif makers, etc. that give us so much amazing content to enjoy and gush over!

Weekly Recap | December 30 - January 5

Complete

💙 Wanna Feel the Heat With Somebody by 2bestfriends (ABO AU | 72K | Explicit): Bucky hasn’t exactly been a risk-taker in his life, but when you’re not only the baby of the family but also the only Omega, risks aren’t encouraged, either. So it comes as a shock to himself and his three older, overbearing sisters when he suddenly quits his shitty but reliable job of five years to accept the unsolicited offer from Stark & Rogers. He can’t help hoping this will be his chance to find his own way, for once. Too bad a certain cofounder’s scent has him trailing behind the tall, gorgeous Alpha like a lovesick idiot.

Ruff Day by ellebeesknees (umetnica), emptydistractions (Post-CW, animal transformation | 20K | Mature): Bucky's life is a mess: The US government's been breathing down his neck ever since his trial, the Avengers are a constant pain in his ass, and putting his brain back together hasn't exactly been a walk in the park. He's doing okay, but what he doesn't need is any extra stress. And what he definitely doesn't need is for Steve to tangle with an amateur sorcerer and end up a massive, overly friendly, eighty-pound, shedding, slobbering dog. That Bucky's now responsible for. For the foreseeable future.

Dodging the Question by Deisderium (Modern AU | 6K |Teen): In which Steve and Bucky are rival captains of dodgeball teams, and can't stop staring at each other.

Adventures in (sub)Contract Killing by obsessivereader (Modern AU | 7,6K | Teen): killer1992: Looking to take out a hit on a guy. Easy job, no security to get around. 5k.

Something Fishy by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen) (Magical Realism | 5,2K | Teen): Steve meets Bucky. Bucky meets Steve. Some things are meant to be. But even when something's meant to be, you might need to work a little to make it happen.

💙 Dear Mr. Postman by odetteandodile (Modern AU | 52K | Teen): “I’m um—your mailman,” Bucky says, lamely. Or—Steve and Bucky revive an old friendship, get married (but totally just as friends, for reasons), and navigate a few of the many trials of the heart that come with falling in love with your best friend. 

💙 Sex With Benefits by verzacefatale/ @verzacefatale (Modern AU, FWB | 24K | Explicit): Bucky makes a movement that encompasses the ehness of banging dudes and hooking up with friends. “It’s not that big a deal. We’ll fuck, then eat pizza and watch Real Housewives of Rhode Island. You can be an honorary homo.” 

🎄 hindsight twenty-twenty by rohkeutta (Modern AU, New Year’s Eve | 2,9K | Mature): Their last New Year’s Eve of the decade is quiet.

🎄 tits the season by Deisderium (PWP | 4,2K | Explicit): Pepper dressed him for her party, in a black suit jacket and ridiculous blue velvet pants. He thought the pants looked stupid before he tried them on, but it turns out that he cuts a pretty dashing figure and them, and furthermore, they feel fantastic. In fact, he could hardly keep his hands off himself. All night, he was petting down his thighs, finding an excuse to put his hands in his pockets. He had to keep aware of it, in fact, because what he really wanted was to stroke himself through the fabric. It was just that his pants felt so soft, he couldn't stop touching himself, and as a result, even though it was all G-rated touching, he was half-hard most of the night, and desperately wishing that Bucky was with him.

Wanted: Dead or Alive by romanticalgirl  (Modern AU, Assassin Bucky | 1,8K | Teen): Steve sees an ad - someone's looking for a person to be an asshole to their bigotted family. He can do that. So he calls. The wrong number. Bucky Barnes is an assassin for hire who took out a want ad because business is slow. Hilarity ensues. (Part 1 of Bullet in the Barrel (of Your Best Guy's Gun))

This Gun for Hire by romanticalgirl (Modern AU, Assassin Bucky | 1,4K | Mature): Steve is away for Christmas being an asshole for hire. The assassin for hire he accidentally called calls him back. (Part 2 of Bullet in the Barrel (of Your Best Guy's Gun))

WIP

💙 there’s a light at the crack that’s separating your thighs by voxofthevoid/ @voxofthevoid​ (Werewolf Steve | 4/5 | 23K | Explicit): Three times Steve and Bucky almost get caught having sex, and the one time the Avengers walk in on them. (sequel to happily ever after has bite marks in it)

New fic. The answer

I’ve decided that, from now on, I’ll only start posting WIPs once I have a few chapters already written. This particular one has 2 other chapters already done and so hopefully the updates will be somewhat steady.

Now, without further ado, enjoy!

Summary:   John Watson is at the end of his rope: hopeless, friendless and penniless, he finds himself applying to participate in a mysterious “social” experiment conducted by the even more mysterious (but debatably brilliant) Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is a well known researcher, looking for the answer to the question that has plagued mankind since the beginning of civilization: What’s love?

Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson

Tags: Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting/ Social Experiments (sort of)/ Dubious Science (like very dubious)/ Fake/Pretend Relationship/ slowish burn/ Pining/ Jealousy/ some Mystrade/ Sherlock Holmes is a Bit Not Good/ John is a Bit Not Good/ an appealing lack of communication/ Sherlock Holmes Has Feelings (and he doesn't like them)/ Irene and Sherlock are bros

Preview

John stares at the fancy-looking building he’s standing outside of and checks his email on his phone for what feels like the millionth time, but the time and place haven’t changed, which means he’s in the right place.

The building is the sort of place that looks more like an hotel than a flat building, the sort of place he expects only rich executives would choose to live in. It even has a reception, with a pretty but bored-looking hostess, who smiles pleasantly but vacantly at him when he states his business. She directs him to the penthouse and a young man with an uniform that reads security lets him into the elevator, one of those fancy ones that need an special card to get you to the right floor.

As the elevator starts its way up, John wonders, also for the millionth time, just what exactly has he gotten himself into.

It’s true his financial situation is quickly approaching desperate, but everything about this social study sounds fishy. The fact that the person who answered the phone the first time he called to ask for information wouldn’t actually give him any, all the while asking him to release quite a bit of personal information and to fill in a bunch of formats that were sent to him via email, certainly didn’t help matters and now this-- why meet at this overly fancy place? He had expected to be summoned at the university or maybe even a private office, but this… this…

Before he can work himself into a right panic though, the elevator’s doors open, leaving him just outside the penthouse’s door. There’s someone waiting for him already, a young redheaded woman with a bright smile and easy demeanor. She’s wearing a white coat over a brown dress and sensible shoes, her hair pulled into a loose ponytail with a few stands hanging around her face. She’s quite pretty, John thinks distractedly, but seems a bit too young to be one of the main researchers.

Or so he thinks. In all honesty, he has no real clue how these things might work: for all he knows, social studies and their researchers might not be anything at all like those in charge of medical trials.

“Hello, Dr. Watson, I presume?” the woman greets chipperly, offering her hand to shake. “I’m Dr. Molly Hooper,” she continues, at John’s stiff nod. “Please follow me,” she says, pushing the door open and letting John go in first, the door closing a bit ominously behind them.

Again, John wonders what exactly has he gotten himself into.

And the answer remains: he has no idea whatsoever.
