'Deed I Do by @cauldronoflove Oneshot | General | 2334

Her hand flattens between his shoulderblades, he doesn't even think she realizes she's doing it, splinting him. The gentle application of pressure to relieve the strain and alleviate some of the pain.

don't need to run the yellow by Alidravana Oneshot | Teen | 1196

“Buck?!”

The table cloths were that classic picnic stripe, bright red and white criss-cross, both matching and clashing with the brightly coloured dining plates that adorned their table.

A simple Margherita pizza for two following the best breadsticks that he had ever eaten, and now the two of them were debating dessert, Buck wondering if he had the courage to suggest that they actually split something. Like a real date.

But then a familiar voice pierced through the restaurant saying his name, and his name, which normally sounded so right coming out of that person’s mouth, suddenly had Buck feeling small.

He wasn’t ready for this.

i'm not saying never by @jennypigalle Oneshot | Teen | 1338

“Do you wanna come up?”

“Putting out on a first date?” Tommy asks, and it could be suggestive, could be teasing, and Buck could bristle at the implications, but instead all it is is soft and affectionate, and he knows, Buck knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that sex is only going to happen if he insists on it.

Or, some moments after their first date

I've had other lips, I've sailed a thousand ships (but no matter where I go you're the one for me, baby.) by @livelaughbuck Oneshot | Explicit | 5083

When it comes to dating Tommy, there are a lot of firsts Buck experiences. First kiss, first date, first boyfriend. He's dated in the past, of course he has, but this is different. Something new and unexpected. Something he wants to get right.

A collection of firsts.

I've yet to be the king of my castle by elizaria Oneshot | Teen | 1320

Tommy enjoyed kissing Evan, too bad work came between. Good thing there's a date coming up because that stunned adorable look with those soft lips? Tommy just wants a big bite of that.

Illumination by @les-pompiers118 Oneshot | Not Rated | 1261

Hen notices that Buck is a little distracted during their shift. Buck decides she's just the person to confide in about what happened at his loft last night. A little coda ficlet for 7x04 ("Buck, Bothered and Bewildered").

it's a strange way of saying that i know (i'm supposed to love you) by @babyboybuckley Oneshot | Not Rated | 1699

Buck couldn’t help the small smile that crept across his face at seeing Tommy. He still couldn’t believe he’d acted like such a teenager a few weeks ago, and he felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude to Maddie in that moment for figuratively slapping some sense into him. Buck paused in the middle of the engine bay, letting the sense of comfort and home just wash over him, and he must have blinked for a moment too long because when he opened his eyes, Tommy was suddenly in front of him.

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow by @aesthetictarlos Oneshot | General | 2204

Tommy walked out the front door ten minutes ago and Buck's still rooted to the spot, leaning against the kitchen island. His lips are still tingling from Tommy's soft kiss, and if he closes his eyes, he swears he can feel the phantom of Tommy's fingers tilting his chin up. Tommy– Tommy kissed him, and Buck has had his fair amount of kisses but he's pretty sure no one has ever kissed him with such reverence and tenderness before. It was brief and chaste, barely-there, but ignited something in his chest, a fire he hasn't felt in a while, maybe ever. - Or, the one where Buck's finally free and goes on a date with Tommy.

No story I could weave would have ended like this by @daddy-kinard Oneshot | Explicit | 2410

“Interesting place for someone to get their mouth on you.”

Chimney scrunches his face in confusion, and it takes even Buck himself a moment to understand the dawning realization in Hen’s eyes. Because Buck’s tall and broad, and a bruise sucked into the space where the base of his neck meets the curve of his shoulder doesn’t make sense for any of the girls Buck’s previously hooked up with. Doesn’t make sense unless the person that gave him that bruise was behind him, tall enough for their head to fit over Buck’s shoulder.

rebirth by @renecdote Oneshot | General | 752

“Bisexual,” he says aloud, just to hear himself say it, to taste the way it feels on his tongue not just as a word but as an identity. It feels like an exhalation, trembling at the edges but not just with fear, or excitement, but with relief. He thinks of that first breath of air when his head came above water in the tsunami, he thinks of being struck by lightning, he thinks of stepping into Station 118 for the first time, he thinks of catching the Jeep keys Maddie tossed him in the dark of a Hershey street all those years ago. Buck knows what it is like to be reborn, but he has never had a kiss make him feel like this before.

Buck introspection, post 7x04.

set ourselves free by @filet-o-feelings Oneshot | General | 785

That was new. He thinks so, anyway. He may have to examine some prior interactions with other men. Has he been flirting with Tommy this whole time? Has he ever flirted with another man? He tries hard not to think about Eddie as he examines this.

This isn’t about Eddie. Hell, this isn’t even about Tommy, not really.

This is about Buck. Evan Buckley, who is currently realizing some things about himself that he’d never considered before, but they’re making a hell of a lot of sense.

Step 1: Slow, Steady Hands by TrustDivineChaos Oneshot | Explicit | 1627

After spending the day together, Buck invites Tommy back to his place…even though the butterflies in his stomach are making it hard for him to take their relationship to the next level.

(Takes place after they’ve had at least a couple dates together; i.e. this is not the outcome of the “Saturday” mentioned in episode 7x04)

stick with me baby, i'm the fella you came in with by @kirkaut Oneshot | Teen | 1989

It takes him a few tries and most of the date to get the words out.

It's all very start-stop and stilted, but they just keep tangling on his tongue or catching behind his teeth before he can form an actual sentence.

Tommy doesn't push, though. Tommy waits him out, all patience and understanding and yeah, maybe a little bit amused. But he doesn't push, so Buck is eventually able to get it out all on his own.

“I've, uh, I've never.” He stops, and swallows dryly. “I've never…done this before?”

---

Buck and Tommy go on that date. Buck does his best not to 'Buck it up.'

Teach Me New Things by @jesuisici33 Oneshot | Explicit | 1899

“Found it,” Tommy sounds so smug. His fingers keep rubbing that one spot inside Buck. That one small part of his mind that still has the capacity to think is now understanding all those women he’s been with when they kept demanding right there, more, and don’t stop.

“Fuuuuck! God, holy shit, fuck!” Buck moans. “Is that-is that my G-spot?”

“You mean your prostate?” A chuckle escapes Tommy’s lips. Buck loves the sound of Tommy’s laugh. Would want to hear him laugh at Buck like that if it meant he kept touching Buck right there for the rest of his life. “You like it?”

“More. Don’t stop, keep going,” Buck can only respond. He’s pretty sure there’s drool coming out of his mouth. He’s too out of it to care.

Or, bucktommy smut, because we deserve it

third time's the charm by @gregorygerwitz Oneshot | General | 1594

Buck and Tommy's first date takes three tries to get it right. After the first two attempts result in an awkward double date that only two of them knew the details of, and a three year old giggling at an animated movie every five minutes, Tommy finally figures out the perfect solution.

To Be Free by heartofash Multichapter | Teen | 5184

“It's like I’ve been looking for something I didn’t even know was missing but then-then it was there right in front me and it felt so right and I just kinda went-” Buck’s voice breaks “oh.” - Picking up directly after 7x04, Buck comes out to his family.

What Do I Do? by Sonayesul Oneshot | General | 1789

Buck comes to Maddie after his kiss with Tommy, worried he's going to mess it all up. He's never dated a man before, what if it's different than being with a woman? Maddie talks it out.

when we were younger, we didn't how it would be by xhaoticghost Oneshot | Not Rated | 2409

"Tommy is strong and masculine. He's bigger and taller than Buck, and although not by much, it's enough that Buck has to strain his neck and push his face upward just a bit when Tommy leans close to him. His stubble scratches against Buck's chin when he kisses him."

-

Buck kissed a man. Well, he was kissed by a man. Buck was kissed by Tommy Kinard. Buck is fine about that, he's not freaking out. Not at all. (Thankfully, he knows someone he can call for help.)

scary movies or happy endings? i don't watch scary movies!! definitely happy endings :)

where were you born? north of italy!!

do you have any pets? i have two babies (my cats)

how tall are you? 1,67 m more or less

favorite subject in the school? math, but at the end of high school i really loved literature, english, politics and IT, too.

🏵️ 20 questions for fic writers - tagged by @beckstraordinary

How many works do you have on AO3? 20, a very nice round number!!

What's your total AO3 word count? apparently around 198,713

What fandoms do you write for? i currently write for the ted lasso fandom only

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Breaking down (the walls) - hope you'll be safe (in the arms of another) - Touch me (like you do) - we should just kiss (like real people do) - no one's keeping score

Do you respond to comments? yes i do!!

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? i think i only wrote one and it was a ff about maura isles

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? it's rather hard to compare happy endings, so i can't choose

Do you get hate on fics? it hasn't happened yet

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? yes i do, that's how i started basically (i miss it a bit, recently i've not been in the mood much). i'd say that my smut is... unnecessarily long and emotional. i fully believe it's a great way to understand who a character is.

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? i wrote two - one was a castle x rizzoli and isles crossover about kate and maura together in college that i dnf-ed at a certain point. the second was this supergirl x rizzoli and isles crossover i'm still very fond of. i had so much fun writing that, and i still think it makes perfect sense :)

What’s your all time favorite ship? i don't think i have one above all. i was really into caskett (castle) and supercorp (supergirl), but now i've grown past both, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? i have a supercorp wip that i thought was very cute

What are your writing strengths? i think... construction of the line as a whole, if that makes sense. i try to make the words flow well and sound nice together. also dialogue, showing emotions through little gestures, intimacy, and lately introspection.

What are your writing weaknesses? i can't for the life of me write descriptions. of anything. i hate adjectives. i also get hyperfocused on the dynamic between two characters and refrain from including anyone else. oh also worldbuilding/background stuff... i just don't care.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? i don't think i've ever included it. but if i had to, i would do it with my own language.

First fandom you wrote for? only italians will get this one... un medico in famiglia. i still remember the first time inspiration hit.

Favourite fic you’ve written? definitely you said yes as I said please. i'm so proud of it and i was really inspired!!

no pressure tags, for whichever game you want to participate in!! @occhi-verdi-come-il-mare @rancoreedisprezzo @julesnichols @calicomarie11 @fuddlewuddle

Modena, letture e arti: festa di natale a palazzo santa margherita

Modena, letture e arti: festa di natale a palazzo santa margherita Letture, musica, arte e laboratori: sono diverse le proposte per bambini e famiglie sviluppate in sinergia a Palazzo Santa Margherita dalla Biblioteca Delfini e da Fmav Fondazione Modena Arti Visive, insieme in una speciale giornata di auguri di Natale. L'appuntamento, una vera e propria festa aperta a tutti dai bambini ai più grandi passando per le famiglie, è per sabato 16 dicembre nel complesso di corso Canalgrande 103. Le iniziative cominciano già al mattino, grazie alle volontarie del progetto "Nati per leggere" che animano gli incontri di lettura. Alle ore 10, in sala Conferenze, è in programma l'incontro "Piccole storie e racconti dal bosco", per bimbi da 0 a 3 anni, seguito alle 10.45 da "Musiche per piccoli cembali" di Riccardo Castagnetti alle tastiere storiche; alle 11.15 ci si sposta al Museo della Figurina, al primo piano di Palazzo Santa Margherita, per le letture "Figurine d'inverno. Storie per accendere l'albero" che sono dedicate, invece, a bambini da 3 a 6 anni. Nel pomeriggio spazio alla musica. Alle 16, sullo scalone che conduce agli spazi di Fmav si tiene il piccolo concerto "Musiche celestiali" di Mutinae Plectri con strumenti a pizzico, mandolini e chitarre, mentre alle 16.30 il Gospel Experience choir si esibisce nel live "Trionfo di voci" nel Chiostro. Alle 17.30, poi, nella piazzetta della Delfini è in programma il secondo concerto di Mutinae Plectri. Intanto, alle 17 il Museo della Figurina riserva al pubblico una visita a tema: "Album di Natale"; per l'intera giornata, inoltre, Fmav offre l'ingresso libero alle mostre ospitate nei propri spazi e alle 18 è prevista la visita guidata all'allestimento "Evan Roth. Mondi distorti". Alle iniziative si affiancano laboratori creativi sul tema "Auguri in figurina. Crea i tuoi biglietti natalizi": appuntamenti dalle 11.30 alle 13 e dalle 15 alle 19 e nel frattempo all'albero di Natale collocato nel Chiostro è possibile appendere auspici, propositi e sogni per il 2024. Sempre nel Chiostro, dalle 15 alle 19 il bar del palazzo offre a tutti vin brulé e cioccolata calda. All'interno della Delfini, infine, è attiva la bancarella natalizia dei libri d'occasione. Nella sala Chiesa e nella sezione ragazzi si possono trovare in vendita romanzi, saggi, fumetti, testi in lingua originale, cd e dvd a partire da 50 centesimi e fino a un massimo di 4 euro: titoli per tutti i gusti da leggere, ascoltare e guardare durante le festività.

[infinitelytheheartexpands]

Traversing the Verdi Canon #30: Falstaff

Production: Met 2013. “Savannah, you’re watching this production for the umpteenth time instead of watching something new to you?” you ask with faint disdain. well, this production/performance is pure gold and complete comfort food for me, and why not go out on a guaranteed high?

Synopsis: it’s Merry Wives of Windsor with some spliced-in scenes from the two parts of Henry IV. here’s the synopsis from this production.

Experience: this is the last of the Seven From 2015. thank you, Solti recording with Sir Geraint Evans (still my favorite on audio). ever since I heard it, this opera has been a favorite.

Thoughts: If there are six words I can use to describe this opera, they are “unbelievably effervescent, sharply sweet, beautifully honest”.

As with Otello, we begin right in medias res and the pace never lets up from there: just slow enough to allow the audience to learn to know and love these characters while fast enough to keep the riotous energy and quick wit of the plotting moving along. The words, the music: everything matches each other to keep the tone right, whether looking at it moment by moment or as a whole.

Really, Falstaff is best appreciated in the context of Verdi’s own career: while on its own, it’s already basically perfection (and as previously stated, one of four candidates for Verdi’s Most Perfect Opera), in the context of the whole career it is nothing short of jawdropping.

it is a well-known fact that Verdi wrote a comedy at 27, one which as discussed earlier in this series was itself brilliant, and then while he did occasionally incorporate comedic elements into later operas, he did not write another full comedy after that first one for fifty-three years. and yet, this is one of the most brilliant, genuine operatic comedies ever written. the music has just such a lightness, an irresistible joie de vivre about it...all from a composer who spent most of his career writing about the various pains of this messy, complicated thing we call life and who had suffered plenty of sorrows over the course of his own life.

and yet, in his late seventies, less than a decade before his own death, he is able to look back on his work, on his sorrow, and smile. little references to his other operas dot the work—Quickly’s cries of “povera donna!” echoing Violetta Valéry, Ford’s monologue that is the last of the “jealous, wronged Verdi baritone aria” type—and so on. perhaps most poignantly, I’ve heard that the way Verdi wrote Nannetta and Fenton, that sweet pair of young lovers not quite like anyone else in Verdi, was supposed to look back with a sweet smile on his first love with Margherita Barezzi (his first wife). indeed, the music for those two in particular is nothing short of magical: sweet, filled with all the promise and optimism in the world. 

“Tutto nel mondo è burla,” sing all the characters in the astonishing fugue that ends the opera. Everything in the world is a joke. it’s a fitting end: ultimately, everything, even the pain and suffering so common in life, can, should, and will end in joy. everything is confusing, even deceptive, but in the end it’s something to look back on and understand and smile at. in a way, everything in Verdi’s operatic career has led to this moment: musical virtuosity and emotion, sharp characterization, and a very human lesson that says “you know what? the world may be fucked up, but it will all be okay in the end; we might as well enjoy it.”

there’s a really great quote from Julian Budden, courtesy of a post by @valinaraii, that pretty well sums it up:

“He had grown up in the days of the stagecoach and candlelight; he died in the age of steam and electricity. He had seen empires rise and fall, ideals overturned, age-old beliefs blown away by events. He had seen the Risorgimento and the cause of Italian unity gathering force through the heroism of its leaders only to collapse in petty squabbles. He could have observed with Oscar Wilde that there is only one tragedy greater than being baulked fo one’s heart’s desire, and that is attaining it. By his eightieth year he knew that nothing in this world can be taken for granted and than “Man is born to be made a fool of”. That he was no mere destructive cynic; that, if not orthodox Christian, he thought seriously on first and last things and was capable of religious experience we know from the Requiem and the Quattro Pezzi Sacri that were his last compositions; but the final message of the secular Verdi is one of tolerance, comprehension and humour. If we cannot all agree we can at least laugh with each other and at ourselves. It is a message of hope.”

— Julian Budden: The Complete Operas of Verdi, v. 3.

Ma ride ben chi ride la risata final. But he who laughs last laughs best.

After all this time, this is how Verdi chooses to end his career: with a wink. This is his last laugh, and if this line, the final one of this opera, is any indication, he is laughing quite well. At the very end, after all the pain, he can finally laugh: it has taken a life to learn this, and we would all do well to learn now.

It is certainly a beautiful, deeply moving way to go out.

Tip of my hat to you, Maestro Verdi. It’s been wonderful really getting to discover all of you from beginning to end. Now let’s all laugh. Because really, what else can we do?
