seasons change (but people don't)

Fandom: Captain America | Author: ftmsteverogers | Rating: E | Wordcount: 2046 Author’s Summary: "“If there’s a girl I’m meant to be mourning, I want to know,” Bucky persists, as though Steve hasn’t had a close brush with asphyxiation right before his eyes. His foot twitches against Steve’s under the table. “There wasn’t a girl,” Steve coughs. “Why…?” Bucky’s gaze is sharp and discerning as his eyes flick back and forth between Steve’s. “There was,” he says, right hand gripping the counter behind him in a white-knuckled grasp. “A girl. A small blonde girl.”" Read it here.

I still can’t believe that fanfiction is free

I sometimes have to pay for water, but with a phone and some wifi, I get to read whole novels about my favorite characters for exactly zero additional dollars

How goddamn rad is that

the girl who lived (again)

Fandom: Harry Potter | Author: dirgewithoutmusic | Rating: G | Wordcount: 10,330 Author’s Summary: "Peeves, though he was nasty about everything else--ickle firsties and orphan girls--got it immediately. For all six years of Harry's Hogwarts tenure, he dropped water balloons on the heads of anyone who misgendered her. Professor Binns never quite figured it out, but he didn't know any student's name. Nearly Headless Nick gallantly and somewhat awkwardly called her lady and tried to hold open doors for her, despite the fact that he couldn't open them. Snape called Harry "Mr. Potter" for all seven years that he was in Harry's life. Around year three, Ron stopped counting the detentions he got for his increasingly sarcastic responses to this."

Shout out to all the trans aces who:

Don’t feel ‘truly’ asexual because you don’t know whether your dysphoria is having an affect on your sexuality

Feel that your trans-ness can’t be removed from your ace-ness but are told it should be

Don’t feel comfortable in hypersexual LGBT spaces

Have had your asexuality invalidated by people who say you can’t be ace and trans

Have had your trans-ness invalidated by people who say you can’t be ace and trans

Are happy that you’re trans and ace

Are sad that you’re trans and ace

Your feelings are valid. Your identities are valid. And you are amazing (ace, even!).
