ALWAYS BE YOUR SUGAR

Chapter 3: Keeping Up

Williamsburg, Summer 2002. More stories about food and houses (this time, literally). With playlist!

[joeyalohadream]

There’s a crew cutting tree tops down outside my house and I can’t help but think of Let your heart be light 😂 the boys combining their job skills.

[joeyalohadream]

I have to get through one more shift tonight before I have my first full day off in 22 days 😩

I ran all my errands in the little pockets of time I could find the last couple of days so I have a whole day to just.. do whatever I actually want to do.

Someone please motivate me to spend the day in my jammies writing the next chapter of Let your heart be light 😭

I miss contributing to this lovely fandom SO much.

Seven Sentence Sunday

Thanks @roseszirnheld for the tag! This is from the upcoming “The Ghost of Gale Cleven” fic I’m working on. This is more than seven sentences but it’s Easter so you get extra treats. 😘

———

That is until Johnny Brady showed up and said that Bucky was on his plane. That is until Johnny Brady showed up and said that Bucky was on a suicide mission to avenge his supposed death. That is until Johnny Brady showed up and said that Bucky had to be pushed out of the airplane because he didn’t want to keep living in a world that Gale didn’t exist in.

He’d scoffed at the time. That couldn’t have been true. But now, now he understands.

Gale parks his bike outside a local pub. He recognizes it because he’s been here before with all the boys but mostly with Curt and Bucky.

Curt and Bucky.

He closes his eyes as he feels their loss deep within his gut. For a man who always finds purpose where his feet are planted, Gale sure is questioning everything now. How is he here and they are not? As he looks at the door to the bar, he feels like he is standing there on the edge of the hatch, not sure if he should jump or go down with his plane. Will he keep living in a world without Bucky? Does he even want to?

Gale makes his choice and steps inside the pub without a parachute.

That Ol' Devil Called Love Chapter 12 (of 14)

Gale and John's night together gets interrupted by a phone call. Brady feels the full consequences of his decision and Benny tries to keep him together. Kenny's mom struggles to know how she's going to pay for her son's treatment, and Bucky flees. Gale and Marge reach a crossroads. He finds Crank at the 100th, and together they come to a terrifying realisation. Bucky makes amends, and no one knows where to go from here.

I NEED to reply to AO3 comments because I’ve been seriously slacking and if I haven’t replied to you, I’m sorry!

Comments are so appreciated and the longer I wait to reply the worse I feel, but I’ve been in a slump and in one of the cycles where I feel like everything I write is garbage and praise makes me feel lousy and guilty and strange and is this a thing others fic writers feel? Or am I just spiraling?

I’ll get over it, I know it, just needed a wee ramble for a moment.

A second batch of "eBook" covers that I threw together to use for these fics on my kobo! The first batch is here. Once again, I'm shouting out big throbbing reccos for all of these, which were delightful to read in so many different ways.

don't take that sinner from me by @moghraidhs - tense and emotionally fraught Western AU with some beautifully achey, deliberate prose

for without are dogs by @constanthaunt - for an impeccable unpicking of character and faith and the meaning of devotion, with writing which is gorgeous and loaded in each and every sentence

hustle up starlings by @ableseamen - yes it's horny and wretched, but honestly what got me so caught up in this was the slick and precise prose

nose dive by @flatconcrete - a trip through the Buckies' relationship via a series of sharp and brilliantly-framed vignettes, with some incisive, snappy dialogue

that love is like a star by @whirlpool-blogs - a beautiful little bittersweet fairytale that really hits the style and tone which the genre asks for! A true delight

The Fire and the Ember by Muccamukk (who does not have tumblr) - a unique take on Marge/Peggy, which re-imagines Marge as an OC and does such gorgeous work with their relationship

two-dollar kisses by @spaceshipkat - there's a beautiful smoothness to Kat's writing that makes reading it a dream, and this "deleted scene" showcases that so well

who will have mercy on your soul by @basilone - using the premise that Gale can see manifestations of death, this is writing full of reverence and beauty*

you were there all along by @joeyalohadream - full of longing and so tenderly written—I could feel the care for John and Gale in every word, which was just so lovely to read

*Painting is detail from Death on a Pale Horse by Benjamin West (1796)

I saw this on twitter and thought of you, specially for the cooler fics.

😂 this is great. And also very sweet ❤️

Crying real tears watching Rory win The Masters and get that career grand slam.

That was the most stressful tournament I’ve ever watched. Being a diehard Rory fan is always a roller coaster but, whew. That one was A LOT.

(p.s. for my followers that have never see me mention golf, because I never have. Golf is my favorite sport and it’s one of my favorite things to watch 😅)

[joeyalohadream]

I worry about you since you lost your job. Hope everything works out for you.

No need to worry about me!

I still have the job that pays the most and I’ve been picking up so many extra bartending and serving shifts that I’m still golden.

I just would like to amputate my feet and my back and my brain half the time, but other than I’m just fine.

And thanks to everyone that’s sent similar messages. I’m here, just tired.

[joeyalohadream]
