happy may 13th on the 29th wednesday! have some FROSTMAS

Year Five

Jacqueline makes a startling discovery.

I know, I KNOW. I have GOT to stop giving vague summaries! But this one tickled my fancy so it stays 🥰 Check out Year 5: 2024 edition on ao3 HERE [updated to match on ff dot net too, of course, right here, BUT THIS AIN'T ABOUT HER]

What's 🆕NEW🆕 this time around:

Lore drops cut, updated, and hopefully more succinct now

Yet another cold-front-retelling-scene-jump has made its way into the chapter

All instances of third person POV have been YEETED; it's all Jacqueline, baybe. Even the Jack bits.

Upped Bernard's sass levels

Added 5k extra? somehow? We went from 8,333k to 13,185k. I genuinely don't know where or HOW given the lore cuts. AH.

And a brand new Frostmas: Behind the Scenes for Year Five!

Frostmas...who is she...I hear you whisper, your plea carrying through the internet winds right to my me. I shall tell you her secrets! With my handy dandy summary!

The Twelve Years of Frostmas

Nobody but he and I knew the truth. Jack wasn’t supposed to be Santa; I wasn’t supposed to be Jack Frost. He thought being Santa would fix everything. He was horribly, horribly mistaken. [My take on Jack’s reign as Santa during the Escape Clause. MAJOR OC involvement AND First Person POV from said OC. Finally cross posting THIS behemoth! Enjoy!]

Want to KNOW her? Take it from the top: [ao3 | ff dot net]

And without further ado, a Year Five snippet for you below the cut!

"[...]It’s been what. Five years with you in the red jacket?”

“Just about.”

“Five years where I’m busting my butt, Jack Frosting about and trying my darndest to prove that this timeline is the wrong one. And all I ever get is shoved aside! Dismissed! Told I’m too stressed and should go home and rest and everything is how it should be, Jacqueline! Deal with it. So I did. This,” I placed the cup down (very reluctantly, I might add. North Pole cocoa is very good, there's no way you can forget about it for long while ranting to your slightly evil brother who is under the impression that you are now slightly evil as well) and gestured to my frosty exterior, “is me dealing with it.”

He was quiet for a moment. Thoughtful. “No appreciation, eh?” he finally asked.

I breathed in sharply, internally cringing before I spoke again. “None! And I’ve just about HAD it with all the shoving aside of Jacqueline and dismissing all her concerns. And I have tried, over and over and over again, to just be listened to and nobody has! I’m done,” I plopped back into my seat, doing my best impersonation of a deflating balloon. “I’m done with it all and it just seemed easier to do THIS,” I gestured down at myself with both hands. “Then to keep on fighting about it.”

Jack perked up. He shifted, sitting on the edge of his seat.

“So you’re giving up?”

No. “If that’s what you want to call it, sure.”

“Just like that?”

Man, he wished. “Yep.”

“No more, accusations? No more fighting? No more insisting on timelines that don’t exist?”

“None whatsoever,” I lied.

Jack smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Wow. You know, I had hoped patience would win out! Glad to see you’ve finally reached the acceptance stage, Jacqueline.”

I blinked. The what? Did he think I was going through the five stages of grief? “Sorry, the what now?”

“The acceptance stage! You did do them a little bit out of order, though. And I think you may have skipped one or two or most of them.”

“They don’t actually have to be in order.”

“You certainly showed us that. So, let’s say all is forgiven.”

The WHIPLASH. “All is what now?!”

“Forgiven!”

--

What is Jack ON about? WAIT. HOLD UP. DID JACQUELINE FREEZE HERSELF OVER? AND WHAT ABOUT THE SABOTAGE? THE THEME PARK? WHAT'S GOING ON?

Check out Year Five to find out...

He could just barely hear the adults talking on the other side of the room as they whispered about courtship and marriage. He couldn’t believe the Ljósálfar would travel so far from Álfheim to discuss such topics. He was a mere five year old boy, what did he know of alliances and weddings?

i saw uncle bucky kissing samta claus

sambucky | M | 1.8k | santa kink | some sexual flirting/themes

written for @sambuckylibrary sambucky festive season bingo 2022 for bingo card C square “samta” and @winterfalconevents winterfalcon bingo round 2 square Y5: “daddy kink” (there is NO daddy kink involved, for context. but it does fulfill the square on a technicality)

content warning: there’s a bit of flirting in the beginning that gets kind of sexual, but it’s very mild. i was teetering between a T and an M rating here tbh, but figured I’d be safe.

summary:

When AJ sneaks downstairs on Christmas Eve, hoping to catch a glance of Papa Noël delivering presents, he finds Uncle Bucky kissing him instead.

excerpt:

“Glad you think so,” Sam says, taking the present bag off his back and sitting it gently on the ground, “because comments like that might just land you on the naughty list.”

Bucky flicks Sam’s hat, knocking it just askew enough that he has full access to one ear, and he sucks on the lobe while his hand travels south to Sam’s North Pole. “What’s that get me, Santa? You gonna hurry down my chimney tonight?”

The laugh Sam lets out is loud and genuine, no “ho ho ho”s involved. Bucky’d be surprised if it didn’t wake up the whole house, so he turns Sam around to kiss him quiet.

“Can’t have you waking up the whole house, you know?” he says in between little pecks. “They’ve gotta be asleep when Santa comes. Those are the rules.”

Title: Happy Ending Rating: General Pairing: Bucky Barnes/Tony Stark Tags: Not Endgame Compliant, Past Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, Tony Stark Lives, Dancing Summary: Bucky thinks Pepper doesn't like him, but he's proved wrong. Notes: for @bingowinteriron B3 "Ex GF Pepper" & @buckybarnesbingo Y5 "Dancing" AO3 Link

Stark Industries was hosting a fundraising gala to help with the relief efforts of half the world’s population suddenly reappearing. Bucky had been stuffed into a suit, his tie too tight and the fabric of his socks itchy, but all of the Avengers who were on the planet had to attend. Plus, as Tony Stark’s Beau, people were expecting him to be there with the namesake of the company hosting the event. 

They had tried to keep things private when they started dating, Tony was tired of the press thinking they were allowed to be involved in every aspect of his life, and Bucky was still wary of anyone with a camera and a mic, worried about what they might ask him or say about his past. It was a lot to work through, but he was getting there. Unfortunately, they had been photographed sharing a goodbye kiss before a mission by some ballsy paparazzi with a telephoto lens who had snuck up to the gate of the Compound. 

Now, the press were all chomping at the bit to see the couple at a public event for the first time. Tony did his best to reassure Bucky, and give him some advice for dealing with media, all of which Bucky was grateful for. He hated being in the spotlight, which was ironic given his position on the Avengers and who he was dating. 

—

When the Rolls Royce pulled up the curb outside the hotel where the fundraiser was being held, the row of press lining the red carpet made Bucky’s palm start to sweat. He clutched his flesh hand into a fist and let out a breath. 

Tony’s hand crept over and gently pried the fist open, lacing their fingers together. “Remember, just walk with your head forward, we’ll stop twice for photos, and then go inside. No interviews.” He squeezed Bucky’s hand. “And try not to scowl, okay?” 

Bucky knew that last comment was teasing, and the corner of his mouth quirked up into a phantom smirk. “They’re just like the bugs in that movie the spider kid forced me to watch - they come, they eat, they leave.” 

A laugh burst out of Tony and he leaned over to kiss Bucky. “Exactly,” He murmured against the Sergeant's lips. “They just want fuel for the gossip rags, don’t pay them any mind.” 

The attendant was there, then, opening the door, and with one last reassuring squeeze to Bucky’s hand, Tony slid on his tinted glasses and then out of the backseat, waving to the press with his prosthetic as he rebuttoned his jacket with his flesh hand. Bucky followed from the car, blinking and looking down to try and get the spots from the camera flashes out of his vision. 

Suddenly, he was bombarded by the cacophony of voices and shutter clicks and he groped for Tony’s hand semi-desperately. Once their fingers were linked, Tony gently pulled him down the red carpet, stoping exactly twice, just like he said, for photo ops. 

Bucky did his best to not look angry or grumpy, as many often told him he did (Peter called it “resting bitch face”), and hoped the small smile he was attempting came across in the photos. 

Once inside, Bucky tried to stick close to Tony, at least until they found other Avengers; he was hoping Sam and Yelena were already here to save him from talking to anyone he didn’t know. Other guests had different ideas, though, and Tony was swarmed almost immediately by other social elites vying for his attention. 

Without realizing, Bucky had been pushed aside enough that he couldn’t get Tony’s attention without getting everyone else’s too. With a sigh, Bucky turned and scanned the ballroom for any familiar faces. Before he could spot anyone, a pretty blonde materialized in front of him. 

“James Barnes, you’re an elusive one.” She smiled, like it was some sort of inside joke. A beat of silence, and then, “Christine Everheart, with WHIH News. Do you have a moment for a few question?” 

Before Bucky could form an answer, a voice sounded behind him, “Christine, attempting to do another spread on Tony?” Bucky caught Pepper coming up beside him in his peripheral. “I would have thought that was beneath you now that you’re at WHIH.” 

The blonde in front of him pursed her lips, annoyance flickering in her eyes. Bucky was confused by Pepper’s question, but kept his mouth shut. 

“Pepper Potts, I would have thought that with your promotion to CEO all those years ago that you wouldn’t have to trail after Tony’s <i>dates</i>.” Christine sent a look towards Bucky before a sickly sweet smile spread across her face as she turned back to Pepper. 

“Oh, I’m not. I’m making sure our Avengers only speak with reputable reporters.” Pepper smiled right back. 

Bucky wasn’t sure what was transpiring in front of him, but he really didn’t want any part of it. Just walking away seemed rude, but he really wasn’t sure how else to get out of there. 

“James,” Pepper turned towards him. “How about a drink? I was just heading to the bar.” 

Thankful for the excuse, Bucky nodded, and offered Pepper his arm. “Miss Everhart.” He nodded in farewell and began to lead Pepper towards the bar. 

“Sorry about that, James, but Christine is the type of reporter you definitely want to stay away from.” Pepper leaned in to whisper.  

Bucky nodded. They reached the bar and after Pepper had ordered a martini, Bucky asked for a beer. Drinks in hand, they turned back towards the crowded ballroom and Bucky spotted Tony making his way over. 

“Sorry, Buck, I got away as fast as I could.” Tony leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to the corner of Bucky’s mouth. 

The billionaire raised his hand, signaling the bar tender and within a minute a tumbler full of amber liquid was being slid across the surface to Tony. He picked it up, took a sip and then stepped closer to Bucky, letting their flesh hands brush in the privacy provided by the position of their bodies to the rest of the attendees. 

“Your old friend Christine was trying to sink her teeth into James, here.” Pepper inclined her head towards Bucky. 

“Of course she was,” Tony replied with an eye roll. “I’ll keep a better eye on him.” He teased. 

Pepper laughed softly before being called away by her assistant. 

Now that it was just him and Tony, Bucky felt a little more relaxed. He was always nervous around Pepper, he still didn’t like that he had to be here, and his socks were really starting to irritate him. Maybe he could convince Tony to sneak out early… 

“Come dance with me.” 

Bucky looked down at his beau and his brown eyes were sparkling with something Bucky couldn’t quite name, under the ballroom’s chandeliers. With a smile, Bucky took Tony’s drink and set both of theirs on the bar before leading Tony out towards the small dance floor set up in front of the live band. 

The music was slow, but not slow enough to put the guests to sleep, and Bucky was surprised when Tony pulled him close, taking the lead. Not used to being the one to follow, it took Bucky a few minutes to get his feet right, but once he did, they swayed together, happy to ignore everyone else. 

“So, rescued by the great Pepper Potts, huh?” Tony squeezed Bucky hand where it was clasped in his. 

“I’m kinda surprised,” Bucky responded honestly. “I thought she didn’t like me much.” 

Tony pulled back just a hair and gave his lover a weird look. “What gave you that impression?” 

“Well, I mean, you haven’t really been with anyone since the two of you broke up, being the first new partner after a long relationship…and the whole Winter Sol-“

“Hey, no, c’mon.” Tony gently prodded. “I forgave you, though I now know there was nothing to forgive you for, and Pepper wouldn’t hold that against you either.” 

They were quiet for a moment as they spun around the dance floor. 

“Pepper can be a viper when she wants to,” Tony finally said. “I’ve seen her throw people to the wolves a few times in all the years I’ve known her. The fact that she kept you out of Christine’s talons says a lot, in her own way.” 

Bucky didn’t respond, just let what Tony had said tumble around in his mind as the song came to end. Everyone who had been dancing politely applauded the band, a few couples staying for another dance. But Tony took Bucky’s hand and led him over to a small group of their team mates. 

He caught Pepper’s eye across the room, and returned her small smile before she turned back toward the woman she was talking to. Bucky hadn’t expected it, but knowing he had Pepper’s approval made him feel a little lighter.

PoliZ's WIP Update - 3 July 2024

Another satisfying  writing week - made my unofficial goal plus a good chunk, and got a bit ahead of the game on a couple of July events.  I touched six fics (3 new & 2 WIPs) - for a total of 2506 words.   I’m sitting at 55,802 words so far for the year, which puts me nicely on target for 110k.  

On Ao3, I posted: 

 Chapter Two of The Business of Pleasure - tiny Alpha Dom!Steve/omega sub!Bucky. 

Judging a Book By Its Cover - Howard Stark POV on Project Rebirth 

On Tumblr I posted: 

  Keep a Steady Hand -  Clint & Bucky Tower fic (pining!Clint if you squint) 

(Not a) Perfect Soldier -  CA:TWS-compliant Steve self-reflection drabble  & moodboard. 

I’m juggling  20  active/semi-active WIPs with my current  deadline being the  Steve Rogers Bingo which ends on July 15th and the July Break Bingo, which runs for the month of July.  

See  below cut for what I’m working on/planning to work on - arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc.  As always, feel free to send me   prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding  any of these projects  or any other WIPs I’ve got out there.   Interaction really helps feed the Muse and keep me motivated!

A Soft Epilogue

It’s been a long time since he was able to imagine having something like this.

During the war, maybe. During the long years of ice and blood and orders, certainly not. More recently, running and piecing himself back together, he had no energy for daydreaming.

But now, just as he is learning to want again, he realises maybe he’s already found it.

Steve curled against his back, holding him close even in his sleep. The other Avengers piled on couches and pillows around them, napping or chatting or watching the quiet movie.

It feels a lot like happy ever after.

i'm actually surprised i haven't seen any hanahaki minedai fanfic (in english at least). it just seems like such a fitting idea for them, but mb i wasn't looking hard enough, though. but i also have a lot of things blocked in minedai tag on ao3 for reasons you are well aware of, so, idk, might've missed something ✌️😔 also hi! i'm the ay3 anon. i've decided to stop being shy about my brain worms, even though i'm currently taking a break from playing rgg because i got overwhelmed with all the melodrama and prison gameplay sequences (i'm in the middle of saejima's part in y5). sometimes a girl gets tired from running from one corner of the box to another

HEY HOWDY happy to see you off anon homeslice breadslice :]

and yeah, there's a LOT of potential minedai has that people just.. ignore and it's so upsetting because they really do set up a lot of shit that no one seems to want to capitalize on
