Hey! No pressure but y’all should go read The Disappearance of James T. Kirk and help me nag gently encourage/motivate the author! It’s a first contact au set in 1969, narrated by modern day conspiracy theorist podcasters. Like what more could you ask for actually?

Too Comfy (MattFoggy) (SMUT)

God I wish that were me I mean… here’s some avocado smut! I’m not gonna beat around the bush about the synopsis btw.

Matt jerks Foggy off while spooning him because they’re too tired to get into a different position.

Words: 1022

Warnings: smut, handjobs, praise kink, 

-

Foggy had to admit, dating Matt might have spoiled him a little bit. Every morning, he would wake up with Matt right beside him, wrapped in silk and other soft and smooth things that wouldn’t cause Matt any sensory overload, oftentimes with no clothes in between skin and silk.

Sometimes, when their emotions get to be too much, Scotty, Jim, and Bones go drinking on shore leave. It has been their tradition for the past five years. There, in the many bars across the universe, they won’t judge when the three start talking about how badass and amazing their loves are. They can be in love in peace, and they can come to terms with the fact they will never be loved in the same way as they love their dear ones.

Because Spock and Uhura have been dating for eight years. Scotty and Jim think something is going to happen on the first shore leave of the second five-year mission that will involve a wedding canopy and some Vulcan drums.

And Bones just watched Chekov get ready for a dinner to meet the parents of his girlfriend.

The three of them think they will never end up with their love, and they smile because Spock, Uhura, and Chekov are happy. No matter how much it hurts. So they drink.

They’re wrong.

And Spock, Uhura, and Chekov are all about to prove how wrong they are. As they travel through space to new planets, new people and more missions, Bones’, Scotty’s and Jim’s lives change. - What the hell happened on that shore leave?! Jim wondered.

CHAPTER ELEVEN IS DONE. THAT MEANS THIS FIC IS DONE. I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY.

it’s my new fic! lots of gay shit and fucking around

[ks-fic-links]

Then again, the identity of Julian Bashir wasn’t even really Julian Bashir’s. It had been fictional before he had even stolen it. The human who occupied it merely went through the motions of being the man he wanted the world to see. Wasn’t it ironic then that he, a Founder, a being who had no identity per se, gained one by inhabiting the life of a man who could never trust anyone enough to be himself?

PoliZ’s Fic Rec of the Week

I’ve taken on a challenge to go back through my bookmarks and share some of the great fics I’ve found over on Ao3.  I’ll be posting these recs  on Wednesdays and/or Sundays.  (NOTE: Since I missed Wednesday and may be away from home on Sunday, I’m posting today…) 

I’m going all the way back to the first couple of fics I bookmarked, and one of the first authors I became a fan of  @onethingconstant.   Honestly, I could recommend everything they have written - especially their Agent Peggy Carter centric fics,  but   the Winter Soldier Diaries series is pretty much where I got my start on reading fanfic.  

It’s two stories comprising about 90k of  Teen-rated recovering!Bucky genfic told from his POV.  Dead Man Running picks up pretty much from the end of  CA:WS, while  Halt and Catch Fire has Steve, Bucky and Sam going up against Hydra.  Very evocative and a strong character voice that I found absolutely compelling!  I’ve read them both several times and enjoy each re-read.

“Steve, Christ, it’s just a small thing, okay? You don’t need to worry about me.”

“What if you end up back in prison?”

“I’m not gonna—”

“Well, how do you know that? Just tell me, or I’m gonna think you’re in with the fucking mafia or something.”

“Jesus, it’s not the mafia.”

“Gang. Drug cartel.”

“Oh, lay off! I’m fine, Steve, I’m not in a gang and I’m not going to end up in prison again. Please just calm down.”

“How do you know?”

Bucky exhales violently. His voice comes strained and halting through the phone. “Because—because I’m working for the guy who put me there last time.”

Bucky Barnes remembers how he got his scars. That’s why he wants to tattoo over them.

“Get over here,” Bucky replies.

[ks-fic-links]

let's talk about Bucky’s brain

I dunno if anyone’s done this before but whatever. Specifically, I want to talk about Bucky’s brain in relation to the cannibalized MRI thing they strapped on his noggin in CA:TWS. Like what the hell is that thing, how old is it, what are you trying to do HYDRA, is this one of those weird dryer things you stick your whole head in at the hairdresser’s? They have had 70 years to perfect this technology and it looks like a high schooler’s science fair project. There aren’t even any electrodes. Seriously there should be electrodes not only because they’re kind of necessary for this sort of thing but also because who would object to Bucky Barnes looking totally punk rock with a partially-shaved head? No one, that’s who.

But I guess let’s just assume the plate things themselves are in contact with his head and transmitting the charge themselves. Okay. That’s a big area they cover and approximately zero opportunity for finesse, so they can’t localize the damage at all. And there’s still all that hair in the way. But whatever, I’ll shut up about the hair.

So the plate things are basically concentrated on the prefrontal cortex, which is at the very front of the brain, behind the forehead where the plates are located. I mean there looks like there are plates going around around the back of the head but if it only goes as deep as the cerebrum they don’t want to damage anything back there because it’s all motor skills and balance and sensory perception and language centers, all of which were vital in the Winter Soldier’s functioning. 

So yeah, the prefrontal cortex seems to be what they’re targeting, and the prefrontal cortex is for short term memory and decision making. However, it would be indescribably stupid to damage short term memory retention, so I don’t think they’d just fry the entire prefrontal cortex. Especially if it could compromise his ability to make quick, logical decisions in the field because the prefrontal cortex is important for logic and impulse control. So I would assume that they’re targeting the connections between the short term and long term memory storage systems rather than taking away his short term memory altogether. 

Basically, recalling a memory that’s stored in long-term is just the brain returning it to the short-term memory center, or the working memory, concentrated in the prefrontal cortex. From there your brain literally refires all the neurons that fired during that experience, without compromising awareness of current circumstances. So severing those connections between long and short term memory would not only stop him retaining new memories, it would stop him recalling old ones.

They could be messing with his long term memory, except there are no intracranial bits and bobs that could actually penetrate deeper than the cerebrum without frying everything in between, and the hippocampus and amygdala where long term memory is stored are in there deep. 

This picture doesn’t do justice to how deep in the brain the hippocampus and amygdala are, but it works well enough as a visual aid. You don’t want to damage the amygdala in a super soldier at any rate because that’s where the survival instincts are kicking around. Also, damaging the hippocampus on both sides of the brain would turn him into a potato, unable to retain any information at all, not even how to discharge his weapon, so you’d basically have to retrain him anew for every mission. And this contraption has clearly no finesse at all, as stated above, so I really don’t think they’d be able to destroy anything only partially or make any localized alterations.

And sure, maybe they actually opened up his head at some point in the past to get at long term memory storage, and the cryofreeze might stop that from healing, but I think the understanding of the brain was so ridiculously limited at that time that they didn’t really even know how to avoid excessive damage, and I don’t think they would have risked rendering one of their best assets brain dead. Honestly, I think the most likely thing they did was supplement the physical stuff with more traditional brainwashing and conditioning techniques.

So really, all Bucky needs to do is repair the connections between his long term and short term memory. Even with all this damage, the brain is adaptable even in normal humans. When certain parts are damaged, other parts can take over functioning in their stead. Although in this case, if the connections between long and short term memory were cut every time he went into the cryogenic chamber, he never would have stored any of the information gleaned as the Winter Soldier past the short term unless he managed to catch enough sleep to transfer those memories into long term storage before he got zapped or frozen again. So he would potentially remember everything about being Bucky Barnes fairly quickly, assuming his super soldier healing could repair those pathways or create new ones to compensate, and he would never remember most of his time as the Winter Soldier except what they wanted him to remember and let him encode before they took out those connections again. So basically, his combat training, his obedience training, and all that hydra indoctrination crap.

His old memories as Bucky would remain relatively pristine, because the more we view a memory the more current circumstances during the recollection alter it, and what you remember becomes less and less similar to what you actually experienced at the time. So instead of memories slowly changing and evolving as the person themself changes, which is what normally happens as we revisit memories and subtly alter them over time through new perception, Bucky would have this huge, disorienting, sickening divide between the well-preserved, untouched old memories of how he used to be and any new ones he managed to create as the Winter Soldier. The Winter Soldier memories will be less fleshed out, have more holes, be generally more ghost-like because of how they fucked with his brain and memories, so it would be easy for him to dissociate with them and to ignore them, but in order to ignore them Bucky would also have to ignore their consequences. He would be denying a part of himself. And he wouldn’t be able to deal well with their fallout, with the ways those experiences changed him, because he wouldn’t let himself examine them.

Honestly this is horrifying in its own way. All the fic I’ve read talks about how horrible it must be for the Winter Soldier to forget Bucky Barnes, but very little touches on how horrible it would be for Bucky to be all there and have a stranger in his head that he has few, dissociated memories of, but still retains a lot of that conditioning and finds himself acting like someone he doesn’t even remember being. He would feel betrayed by his own body and his own mind, doing things without knowing why he was doing them. I feel like not being the same Bucky as the one who went off to war would be so frustrating to him. Fics paint it as Steve being frustrated by the fact that Bucky’s no longer the same person, but I think Bucky himself would be far more frustrated by that fact than Steve. I think the fact that he’s not the same would bother him more than Steve’s longing for him to be the same, because he would understand that longing, share it even. I think he would dissociate from the foreign Winter Soldier part of himself, would try to bury it or force it out instead of facing it, would hate whatever memories he did retain from that time, because the Winter Soldier terrifies everyone but I think he would terrify Bucky most of all. And it would make sense, too. After all, the winter soldier was always supposed to be a ghost, the unseen threat, the silent killer, and I think, rather than inhabiting Bucky, the Soldier would haunt him, something he can’t prepare for or fight unless he’s willing to look through the dark to find it and confront it.

Ace!Tony Fic rec

a list of ace/grey-aace/demisexual!tony fics i’ve read and love:

 Aces Trump Kings - unadulterated [series, 2 parts. ace!tony. summary of part 1: “Tony doesn’t want what everyone else seems to want, and can’t make himself like what everyone else seems to love. So he keeps his mouth shut and his smile bright.It doesn’t occur to him that maybe his normal is not to be.”]

 Trying Things - stitchy [stevetony; ace!tony. happy fluffy little fic. “In which tony has a reputation and steve’s confused about it”]

 The Question - fadewords [ace!tony, demi!pepper; pepper/tony. “Tony Stark is a fucking sex god, and proud of it. But there’s something indefinably different about his approach to sex–there always has been, he’s just never noticed it before–and now that he has, he can’t quite put his finger on it. (Or: An asexual Tony Stark goes through life without knowledge of asexuality, and does just fine–until he actually learns about asexuality. Then shit hits the fan.)”]

The Grey Area - theappleppielifestyle [demi!tony; stevetony, past pepper/tony. “ Tony is forty-two years old when he realizes he isn’t broken.”]

Grey and Other Colors - theappleppielifestyle [demiro+demiace, touch-starved, tony; stevetony. “Distantly, Tony hears Clint say something like, “No, I definitely heard he was an equal opportunist. Like, equal-equal, no preference. Hey Tones, who are you attracted to more, dudes or chicks?”He calls the last part out to Tony, who runs the words over in his mind and unthinkingly says, “I’ve actually never been attracted to anyone, it’s really worrying.”(Or, Demisexual and Demiromantic Tony Stark.)”]

A Simple Thing -  kuro [ace!tony, skinny steve; stevetony. “Skinny and sickly art student Steve has somehow managed to land Tony Stark as his sugar daddy. But while Tony is certainly very sweet, he somehow doesn’t seem to care about Steve all that much?”]

add to it if there’s any i’ve missed that you like a lot! they don’t have to be steve/tony or any ship at all, that’s just what I read most often, lol ^.^

Bonus: angsty-ish but happy ending asexual!steve fic:

Variations in Modern Dance - pookaseraph [biromantic ace!steve; stevetony; please read the end note warning on the fic, just in case.“There’s only one thing in the world that Steve has decided the 21st century isn’t alright with: not wanting to have sex. Sadly that seems to be the one thing the Serum couldn’t fix, and it’s playing hell with his ability to deal with his feelings for Tony. Thankfully Tony is a brilliant engineer, and he might be able to find a solution, or maybe he’ll realize there’s nothing there to fix.”]

you are so gonna regret this :D Asexual; Clint/Bucky/Steve

Bucky worries at first. He think it might be something with the scars. Or the arm. Or maybe it’s his eyes, frightening and frightened. Eyes that used to belong to a friend and now belong to a killer. True, he and Steve had never really gone into the full sexual thing before the war, but Bucky can’t help but feel this is his fault.

Somehow, everything is always his fault.

Clint, fortunately, solves everything. There’d been something growing between the three of them for some time, and Clint – ever the straightforward one – brings it out into the open with alarming alacrity. A task he accomplishes by climbing into Captain America’s lap.

Steve’s eyes widen and he darts at glance at Bucky, who just closes the book he’d been reading to better watch how this is going to unfold. Maybe, if Steve doesn’t want to take Bucky, he’ll be happy taking Clint and then Bucky can just…hell, he’d be happy being any part of that situation.

“Uh, Clint,” Steve says. “I don’t know how to tell you this, but Bucky and I are a pretty serious–”

“Bucky’s more than welcome and he knows it,” Clint says, twisting around to wink at the man in question.

“Ok,” Steve continues, “then you should also know that this isn’t…really…I mean, I’m thrilled with the sentiment. Really. But I’m pretty sure I’m asexual.” He tightens his jaw in nervous anticipation.

Bucky breaths deeply for the first time in months. Goddamn why hadn’t the little punk just said so?!

“Oh, hey, all right then,” Clint shrugs with his usual flexibility. “You wanna watch a movie or something, then? Make pancakes? Water balloon fight?”

“You’d win a water balloon fight,” Steve answers, rolling his eyes.

“What about you?” Clint gestures with his chin toward Bucky. “You up for a little lap climbing?”

Bucky shoves his book off his legs down onto the floor and Clint changes seat just as quickly, but he draws Steve in to lean toward them by keeping hold of his hand, intertwining their fingers.

“Right now, guys? Really?” Steve sighs.

“So put on a movie,” Clint grins, turning around so he’s facing the TV but still seated in Bucky’s lap. “And come cuddle with us. You good with the cuddling?”

“I’m good,” Steve laughs, moving in closer.

[ks-fic-links]

There aren't enough ace Steve Rogers headcanons in this world. :< Do you have any ace Steve headcanons???

Okay so first off, my current fave is that Steve is about as close to being asexual in the Avengers Academy canon without actually saying it, as evidenced by his interactions with Enchantress when she tries to mind control him. Now for MCU and comics!

I think he’s demisexual but considers himself asexual since he’s never felt sexual attraction as of yet, especially with the whole “right partner” comment.

The nuns always used to threaten hell fire whenever sex was mentioned, and Steve always just kind of shrugged because why would anyone really want sex unless they were in a committed relationship?

Steve just kind of cringes whenever anyone tries to set him up with someone else, and Natasha constantly trying to set him up in CA:tWS was her testing this. She realized he was asexual after this but didn’t say anything because she didn’t think he knew (she was right).

Nick Fury was the first one to tell Steve what asexuality was, and afterwards Steve spent a day and a half on the computer researching.

side note: Tony can’t figure out why there’s suddenly a crate full of ace merch in the lobby of the Tower.

Steve goes to a pride parade and comes across someone in an ace shirt being discriminated against by other members of the LGBT+ community. He takes them aside and they get coffee together and for the first time, Steve tells someone he’s ace. He gets to know Greer Nelson and learns she was married to a very understanding police officer, but he died while trying to expose corruption within the force.

Of course the media gets photos of him making a brief appearance at the parade and you know the Republicans jump on the fact that he left so early saying things like “Captain America is disgusted with the gays.”

It gets so big that there has to be a press conference where he’s supposed to apologize for leaving early. He gets up to the podium and ultimately says he was there to support LGBT+ rights but left when he saw his own sexuality being discriminated against.

Twitter/tumblr/facebook jumps on that while the press conference is still going on, saying that straight people won’t lose their rights by giving others rights.

Steve kind of goes on a rant about how he’s tired of being confused before he knew what he was and erased after, and he comes out as asexual.

And the social media conversation switches from “Cap is an asshole” to “Cap is ace” with various comments, both negative (usually along the lines of “asexuality isn’t real”) and positive (asexual people suddenly feeling much more comfortable now that the symbol of America has come out).

Steve and Greer accidentally start a support group that meets every Thursday in the Tower.
