Tumblr media
THREE MONTHS LATER
Tumblr media
“A-bby! Fuckfuckfuuuck—m’gonna cum again!” Your screams were muffled by Abby’s pillow.
You could hear the smirk in her voice as she fucked you harder, skin smacking against each other, “Yeah, baby? Give it t’me, make me proud, c’mon c’mon c’mon— “
Abby fucked into you deeper, your ass clapping against her hips. Your mouth dropped open in a silent shout, your body stiffening as you shoved your face into her pillow, breathing in her angelic scent. Your orgasm ripped through your entire body in slow, but harsh waves, your hips moving on autopilot to drag out the feeling for as long as you could. Your nails dug into the pillow under your head as you wailed her name out. 
You could barely hear Abby’s sweet voice talking you through it over your screams and the pounding in your ears, “Yeaaah, that’s a good girl. This what you need? Just wanna get put t’bed? Huh?” 
You nodded brainlessly, your walls still on squeezing her cock as she grinded you out as deep as she could reach. The head of her dick brushing against your cervix almost made you burst again. You hated how you could feel another building in your gut; you barely finished this one! 
You were going to sleep so well tonight. 
Fucking your dad’s friend was… not a part of your plan of finally getting shut eye. Not in the slightest!
Abby started turning up at your parents' home very often two months ago. Sometimes she would come with friends, sometimes alone, and you grew tired of people constantly showing up in your space without warning. Your patience reached its limit after a couple of weeks, and you’d finally planned to have a conversation with your parents about your struggles with sleeping and your distaste for constant company after your lecture that day, but you were swiftly thrown into other plans by your friends. 
They were able to convince you to finally get out of the house and go to dinner with them. They hadn’t stopped their pestering after your curt denials, begging you to spend time with them due to how much they missed you. When you reluctantly gave in to their pleads, they made sure to pick out a revealing dress for you to wear while they did your hair, claiming that sugar mommies and daddies were on the loose! 
You were tipsy from the wine and your feet hurt from the heels, but you were proud of yourself for finally getting out of the house and being… normal. 
But you weren’t prepared to walk up and see your garage door wide open, Abby and your father lifting heavy boxes from one shelf to the other. She was in a muscle-tee that showed her gigantic biceps and jeans that hugged her thighs and ass. She was sweating, and her hair was pulled up into a ponytail do you could see her flushed, dripping neck and what the fuck—
Hi, sweet pea! Why’re standin’ there like that?
Your father’s gentle voice had pulled you out of your daze, your body going from groggy to alert when she turned around to look at you. You saw a smile instantly grow on her face at the mention of you, but the second you made eye contact, her face went stoic. Almost dark. 
You slowly entered the garage, and your dad came over to plant a light kiss on your forehead, box in hand. 
Abby was just helping me reorganize before me’n mom head out! How was dinner?
Good, you’d replied instantly, your eyes still on Abby, and hers on you. How was your day? 
He rambled about his day as he fixed the boxes on the shelf, but you couldn’t hear anything he was saying as you and Abby stared at each other. Your body had already been hot from her getup, but you nearly burst into flames when she studied you from head to toe. She took her time as her eyes shamelessly roamed over your appearance; her eyes had been glued on your legs. 
You would’ve been taken aback at her ogling if you didn’t already have some inkling that she was attracted to you at the very minimum. She never failed to check up on you, gently talk you out of your anxiety from your classes, compliment you, touch you with such care, whether it be rubbing your back as you cried to her from stress or were pulled into her warm embrace. It made you starry-eyed overtime, and you came to expect it whenever you saw her. 
But you weren’t prepared for her to push you up against the garage door, lift your dress up and move your thong to the side, dropping to her knees and licking into you until you came hard on her tongue after your parents went on their scheduled date night. 
It all happened so quickly, and the sequence of events were still blurry; you were almost convinced that it wasn’t real, but it was, and it felt so good to be touched like that. You recall her walking towards you after your dad rushed upstairs to shower, asking how you were, how you felt, why you were so dolled up. She smelled like daisies, and you almost passed out. 
Next thing you know, you were pressed between her and the door with her tongue down your throat. 
The first orgasm she gave completely shattered you, so much so that she was forced to carry your lax body upstairs and tuck you in herself. She changed you and took your makeup off, and the second your head hit the pillow, you were out like a light. 
You’d woken up twelve hours later to birds chirping and sunshine, and you couldn’t believe it. 
Guilt hit you like a freight train the second your eyes opened, and you forced yourself to sob quietly into your pillow so your parents would hear. It made you cry harder when the remorse slowly got overshined by… craving. More of Abby, of sleep, anything to get you to fucking sleep. 
To say you developed an addiction to sex with Abby was an understatement. You texted her almost every night these past weeks after your intense lectures begging for her to make you cum, to fuck you back to sleep like she did the first time, and she always accepted. You were shocked that she hadn’t blocked your fucking number yet; she never failed to reply to your proposals with an Of course honey. She was always so sweet, and it made you feel gross.
Not only was her sex a blessing in disguise for your crippling insomnia, but it was good. It was so, so good. She knew just how to fuck you, and she left you completely brainless every time. 
You hated that you couldn’t stop, but you needed this. You needed her to fuck you: you became a mere vessel from your lack of rest, and she revived you. You haven’t slept this well since you were a toddler. 
“Okay, honey? Need some more?”
You could feel Abby’s soft hands rubbing up and down your spine as she gently whispered to you, bringing you back down from your pleasure. You could barely move, and you felt that feeling of exhaustion take over your body, weighing it down into her mussed sheets as your eyes grew heavy. 
You gently shook your head at her. You were satisfied and tired, and you needed to get home so you could sleep. You had to work on your thesis tomorrow; you were going to zoom through your editing, thanks to her. 
You barely heard Abby whispering okay to you, gently pulling out and moving the pillows out from under your hips. You could feel her gently rubbing your sides, massaging into the sweaty, plush skin, allowing you to stretch out your limbs. 
Your breathing was still heavy, and your legs were shaking, but you subtly moved away from her touch and sat up, your feet planted on the floor. You saw Abby stand to remove her strap from her hips out the corner of your eye, and a shiver went up your spine when you saw glistening wetness between her legs. You looked down, grabbing your clothes off the floor in a hurry. 
You both redressed in silence, the shuffling of 
“Do you need some help getting home?” You heard Abby offer kindly from in front of you. You straightened out your shirt, cringing at the awkwardness. This was the worst part about your agreement. 
“No.”
Your reply was drier than necessary as you grabbed your phone from the dresser. You heard her sigh. 
“Oh… Alright. I’ll walk you downstairs.” 
Your tone softened at her dejection, and you turned to look at her. “I’m good, Abby. Thank you, though.” 
She smiled, but you noticed the small grimace, “Okay, um… Let me know when you get home?” 
You nodded, walking towards her bedroom door, “Sure.” 
“Goodnight.” 
“Night.” 
And you left, gently shutting the door behind you. You made your way to the front door: you always made sure to avoid the array of pictures of her, her ex-husband, and her babygirl. 
You grabbed your purse and keys from the rack on the wall and vacated through the front door. You shut it and snagged the spare key from under her mat, locking it and wobbling back to your car. 
You could still feel her inside you with every step you took, and it almost made you turn around and climb back into her bed. 
Tumblr media
Your home was dark and silent, indicating that your parents were asleep. 
You locked and shut the door behind you, throwing your purse on the couch and hanging up your keys. You pulled your phone out to let Abby know you made it back safely before shutting it off and walking upstairs. 
You grabbed your speaker from your bedroom before heading to the bathroom, turning on the shower until it was boiling, and smoke filled the room. You put on your ocean playlist and stripped, hopping into the shower, and letting the droplets burn your skin. 
You washed yourself, the scent of lavender and the sound of crashing waves surrounding you, relaxing you further as you dove deep in thought. 
Whenever you and Abby had sex, you felt terrible afterwards. For being selfish, for being avoidant, for being an awful, disloyal daughter. 
You made your boundaries very evident to Abby after you first fucked: no sex in your parents' home, you always contact her first, no interacting at your family’s gatherings. None of it. You two practically became strangers outside the bedroom, and she agreed without complaint, telling you that she needed this just as badly as you did. You never asked her why, but you could guess.
Your euphoria always resulted in you feeling embarrassed and full of regret, but whenever you saw her, you couldn’t stop the nasty swirl in your gut that lured you to take from her. To use her however you wished. 
And she allowed it every time you asked. Completely at your disposal whenever you needed her. It made you feel worse. But you couldn’t stop. 
You finished your shower with a gray heart, drying off and shutting your speaker down before padding into your room. 
You grabbed some panties and a t-shirt from your drawer, dressing before climbing into bed. You plugged your phone into the charger and dove face-down into your pillows. You could almost feel Abby’s hand on the back of your neck, holding you down and keeping you still for her as she cried your name out. 
Your eyes flew open at the loud ding that rang through your room. 
You sighed and unlocked it, reading the text from Abby and putting your phone on silent. 
Sleep well. :)
You did.

A slow writing week - I touched four  fics (3 new & 1 WIPs)  for a total  of  1341  words, about ⅔ of which were on a single fic.

PoliZ's WIP Update - 25 Sep 2024
Fell a little short of my weekly writing goal.   I touched four  fics (2 new & 2 WIPs)  for a total  of  1825  words,  about half of which were on a single fic.   
On Ao3, I posted: 
 Carrying Things Forward - a sequel to A Little Bit Carried Away  - a WinterIron No Powers omegaverse fic
 Tony Stark Bingo Mark VIII - August Round Robin - ScienceBros (Tony & Bruce) one shot 
Keep a Steady Hand - platonic WinterHawk (Clint & Bucky) one shot. 
On Tumblr I posted: 
  Melting Down - Canon-compatible post-IM3 Pepperony one-shot.  
I’m juggling  20+  active/semi-active WIPs with my current  deadline being the new WinterIron Gets It Done server bingo event  which runs til the end of September.  
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!
WinterIron Gets It Done Bingo [WIGID] (Ends 30 Sep 2024)
This new WinterIron Discord server event runs through the month of September and is a flash bingo where you choose one or more  five-square bingo strips to complete.  I’m targeting to get at least two strips done for a blackout - with a stretch goal of three - I’ve currently got 11  fills across three strips. 
* Classic_5 - Favorite Song -  combined this with the Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF270 Lights and Sirens] for  Duty Calls, an established WinterIron ficlet where a date gets interrupted.  It came in at 203 words and will probably get posted to Ao3 by the end of the month.  
Build-A-Bucky Bingo [BaBB_R1] (Ends 31 Oct 2024)
Another fun year-long  event from the folks at  @buckybarnesevents!  Each month there’s a list of prompts and you choose (at least) one  each month for your card!  At thirty-four  fills and one month to go, I think I’ve gone a bit overboard …. 😁
* May:  Bucky’s Trigger Words -  combined this with a previous  Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF251 Out There] for Just To Live One Day Out There - a Winter Soldier self-reflective ficlet. It came in at 312 words and will get posted to Ao3 Real Soon. 
* September: First Meeting - filling this with the upcoming Chapter Nine of  A Sugar-Coated Pill  where Bucky gets to meet Obadiah Stane.  Needless to say, he doesn’t get along with the older alpha.  It’s crossing over with my  TSB:  Aug Adoptable: Resolve –   it’s coming in at 1732 words and will post on Friday. Stay tuned for a final chapter in October! 
* September: Feelings Denial -  Posted Carrying Things Forward  on Friday - it’s a sequel to A Little Bit Carried Away - looking at Bucky and Tony living together and where their relationship is starting to lead.  It crosses over with my  WIB  N4 - A/B/O: Mates and pJBB - C2_A1 - "There's nothing wrong with you."  squares and is currently listed as chapter 1 of 2, but I’m using some of the ideas I had for the second chapter on  A Sugar Coated Pill,  so may re-tag it as a one shot, with potentially more in the series.  
Flufftober 2024  [FlfT_24] (Runs 1-31 Oct)
This writing challenge hosted by @flufftober  runs for the month of October, but the prompt list has already been published, so you can get a jump start!  My goal is to write one fic a week that incorporates these prompts - here’s some possible crossovers - if there’s one that sounds really good - let me know! 
* 1. Lost Pet Meet Cute - crossover with  BBB C2 - Bonded animal?
* 5. Acorn, Chestnut, Pine Cone - Decided to combine this with R3 - AU: adventurers/explorers  for some Tony  & Morgan fluff.  Up, Down, North, South, East and West is coming in at 347 words and will post on October 5th. 
* 10. Bet, Game, Contest - crossover with BBB U5 - Secret Admirer?
* 11. Ingredients & Spells - crossover with TSB S3 - KINK: Aphrodisiacs? 
* 18. Bewitched - crossover with BBB B1 - Magic? 
* 22 - Heirloom - Using this, combined with my WIB G2 - Edwin Jarvis &  TSB T2 - Wedding -  for Chapter 10 of A Sugar-Coated Pill.  It’s jumping forward in time and has Tony gifting a tie bar to Bucky as his ‘something old’ for their wedding.  It’s sitting at  966 words and will post on the 22nd.   
Whumptober 2024 [WmpT_24] (Runs 1-31 Oct)
This writing challenge hosted by @whumptober  runs for the month of October, but the prompt list has already been published, so you can get a jump start!  My goal is to write two fics (whump isn’t normally my bag)   that incorporates these prompts - need to  explore more potential crossovers. 
* No. 2: TRUST ISSUES - Amusement Park | Role Reversal | “You got away with the crime while the knife’s in my back.”  – crossover with WIB  N5 - "I'm here for you."  and possibly pJBB - C2_B2 - Being there for someone after a traumatic event
Fictober 2024 [FicT_24] (Runs 1-31 Oct)
Another October writing challenge with daily prompts - all of which are dialogue. Go check out @fictober-event  for details!  I’ve grabbed the  list but haven’t had time to dig in to see what might be good cross fills.  Targeting two to four fics that incorporate these prompts.  
WinterIron Bingo 2  [WIB_R2] (Ends 16 Dec 2024)

* Iron Soldier (One Bingo, One Fill) - looking at combining my Column B prompts: Matchmaker, Bucky Riding Tony, Stark Gala, Inside Joke and Threesome.  Still working on a plot - if you have any suggestions/want-to-sees - let me know!

* N4 - A/B/O: Mates -  see BaBB September:  Feelings Denial above.

*  K2 - IMAGE: Bucky and Steve in Siberian silo hallway (CA:CW)  - Combined this with the Flash Fiction Friday prompt  [#FFF269 Living Weapon]  for  Reconstruction - a fix-it/canon divergent ficlet where Steve, Bucky and Tony team up instead of fighting.   It came in at 268 words and will get posted  to Ao3 before the event is over.

10 Things To Consider When Choosing Pool Builders
Tumblr media
Pools are a major investment that require significant skill to build and complete properly, from backyards to Olympic-sized recreational centres. When it comes to installing a pool, you want to work with a pool builder who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and well-recommended. Most importantly, you want someone who will complete the project without going out of business in the process!
Are you worried about hiring the right swimming pool contractor? Here are ten red flags that you're dealing with an inexperienced or bankrupt pool builder.
1) Huge Down Payment
Before beginning work on most projects, the builder should not require a down payment of more than 10%. Some reputable companies may require as much as 20%, but the average is around 10%. If they demand a much larger upfront payment, this could indicate a cash flow problem and a struggling business. High down payments could mean the contractor doesn't have enough cash on hand to pay employees and subcontractors.
2) Big Up-Front Draws
The amount you pay pool builders during construction should correspond to the project's timeline. You should expect the pool to be halfway finished if you have paid half of the pool's cost. Consider a pool builder who requests a 40% deposit when they dig and another 40% when they pour concrete. This would entail you paying 80% of the cost when they have completed far less than 80% of the work. You will lose a significant amount of money if this business fails before it is completed.
3) Tiny Final Draw
Another red flag is insufficient payment at the end of the project. Pool contractors should be compensated for completing the project. A final payment of 2-5 percent means that if you and they have a disagreement or some other setback, they won't lose much money if they don't finish the job. Look for contractors who will accept a final draw of at least 10%. Some of Viking Capital's lenders even require a 25-30% hold-back, which protects property owners.
4) Quick Contract Signing
If the pool builder insists on signing the contract during your first meeting, be wary. This does not always imply that the builder is a risky choice, so don't let it become a deal-breaker. It is, however, something to be aware of; you do not want to work with a builder who puts you under undue stress.
5) Unreliable and Discourteous Behavior
Everyone is late at times or has personal emergencies. It's bad business, however, if a contractor never seems to arrive on time for appointments or consistently misses sales calls without giving notice. Building a pool can take weeks or even months, so find a dependable company with whom you can work for that amount of time.
6) New on the Scene
Being a new pool builder isn't necessarily a bad thing; after all, every company has to start somewhere. Many pool companies, on the other hand, fail within the first few years of operation. If possible, choose a company that has been in business for at least 5 years to reduce your financial risk. If the only disadvantage is that they are new, don't dismiss them right away. Just keep in mind that being in business for ten years is not the same as being in THE BUSINESS for ten years. Many contractors who go under reappear under a new name and claim to have been in the pool business for longer than the current company. If they went out of business once, it's very likely they'll go out of business again. Being an excellent pool builder and a successful business owner are not always mutually exclusive.
7) Unresolved Complaints
Check any online reviews and, if applicable, the local BBB (Better Business Bureau) rating before hiring a pool company. It's possible that seeing one or two negative reviews is sufficient. Check any responses to customer complaints, and keep an eye out for any unresolved issues or disagreements. You may want to look for another swimming pool contractor if you notice a lot of negative reviews or a lack of resolution to customer issues. Remember that a few complaints about a company that builds 200 pools per year is not the same as the same number of negative reviews for a company that builds 20 pools per year.
8) Pool Builders That Can Start Right Away
Although having a pool contractor who can start a project right away sounds convenient, don't get too excited just yet. The best builders not only have a long list of satisfied customers, but also a full schedule. A lack of ongoing projects indicates the ability to start working for you right away. Alternatively, they may be overburdening their schedule because they are cash-strapped. Both of these should serve as a warning that you should proceed with caution. In many cases, it simply means that the builder has the personnel in place to deal with the seasonality of his business and that projects are properly managed. An unusually low price combined with the ability to begin right away is the worst combination.
9) Lack of References
A list of past clients who have agreed to be contacted for a recommendation should be available from the pool contractor. If the clients are major celebrities, some pool companies may refuse to provide names of previous clients, but this is a rare occurrence. A lack of references could indicate a new company, but if they can't give you the names of any satisfied customers and can't explain why, that's a red flag.
10) Poor Communication
It's natural to have a lot of questions when choosing a pool installer. Take advantage of this opportunity to assess the contractor not only on his or her responses to your questions, but also on how he or she responds. Consider finding a different pool builder if the pool builder fails to answer your questions satisfactorily and does not make an effort to alleviate your concerns, or if the pool builder speaks to you rudely, impatiently, or otherwise unprofessionally.

23. Do you ever drive above the speed limit? I don’t drive and would never.
24. What terrifies you? As a person with a panic disorder, please let me just say this would get the length of a slow-burn fanfic if I was to list everything accurately.

26. What chore do you hate the most? I’m an adult, I do all the chores with an immense love any time it means avoiding my other responsibilities.

36. Can you say the alphabet backwards? What would you need that for? I don’t have the bandwidth.
37. How do you like your coffee? Weak. Then I drink half a cup, then my stomach starts hurting, then I get nervous and shaky and then I realise I shouldn’t drink coffee.

WIP Update - 16 Aug 2023
A slightly-below average writing week.   I touched 5 fics (4 WIPs & 1 new work)  for a total of  1900 words.
On Ao3, I posted:
Chapter Three of Finding Something Fresh - Beta!Sub!Bucky and omega!Dom!Steve have their first (non-sexual) scene together.
Chapter One of Seduction and Abduction; Collusion and Retribution - a Stony Pirate AU with Captain!Stephen kidnapping Anthony as an exchange/ransom for his first mate, James.
Both - Both is Good - a domestic fluff WinterPepperony ficlet featuring an inquisitive Morgan Stark.
I have  20 semi-active WIPs  😬 with my  current  deadlines being the Tony Stark This or That, Hot Bucky Summer and Stony AUgust events, which all wrap at the end of August.  
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!
Seek & Destroy Collab
After reading @psychiccatpanda‘s amazing   Morguna and the Green Queen, I  got the itch to explore the Soldier’s POV and talked  Faustie into   collab’ing with me!  We’re working on a new part of the series, and I’ve  contributed about 900 words towards the  2500-ish we have so far.   Going to see if I can squeeze any of my BBB squares into this fic.  
Hot Bucky Summer [BBE_HBS]  (Ends Aug 30) 
Another @buckybarnesevents  event, this time with weekly smexy prompts.  My goal is to complete at least two fics/chapters per month for this challenge and have actually filled/will fill three of the 4 weeks for June and July so far.  
Week Eleven -  “Give me a color” + Green/Red/Yellow – Posted Chapter Three  of   Finding Something Fresh last Friday - with  Beta!Sub!Bucky   and omega!Dom!Steve working on pre-scene negotiations.  It crossed over with SVB Comforting Insecurity and came in at 1216 words.
Week Twelve - “Who’s My ___”+ Good Boy -   I think this will work well with Chapter 5 of Technicalities, which goes back to Steve POV. This would post 8/23 - and with only 237 words so far, I need to get a move on this!
Week Thirteen -  FREE WEEK - another previous prompt use - Week Nine’s “How do you want me?” + Tied Down  crossing over with ACB Alexander Pierce and CABB Licking Lips squares for Chapter Four of Finding Something Fresh. This chapter will post 8/25 and is drafted at 1116 words.
Tony Stark This or That [TSTOT_23] (Ends 31 Aug)
Excited to see this event (hosted by @tstot ) come back!  When you sign up, you get a card with 10  prompts  in pairs  - so to complete the card, you create five fanworks.   I have four prompts posted and one WIP
* 1a - Love Letters  brainstormed with  @somesortofitalianroast and  Meg during the  @buckybarnesbingo  Discord party and will be combining this with my BBB  Fireplace prompt for a  1980′s No Powers WinterIron fic where they discover that someone’s writing them both the same love letters.   Started poking at this and have 129 words towards a minimum 600 due by the end of the month. Targeting to post on the 30th
Stony AUgust (Ends 31 Aug)
This weekly prompt challenge is run as a part of the @stonyauniverse bingo, but you don’t have to be participating in the bingo to play along!
Week 1 - Profession - Chapter One of Falling For You - see TSTOT Disaster above.
Week 2 - Time Period – Posted Chapter One of Seduction and Abduction; Collusion and Retribution which crossed over with my SAUB AU: Pirate and TSB Historical prompts for a Pirate Captain!Steve/kidnapped!Tony fic. It came in at 969 words and I have Vague Ideas of where to go next...
Week 3 - No Powers - working on an established Stony fic that crosses over with my SAUB AU: Cruise Ship, TSB Retirement and CABB Anniversary Date squares. I'm 763 words in to Set A Course for Adventure and they're just now getting to the ship. 😁 Hoping to wrap this up somewhere between 1-1.2k as a one shot with a potential Stuckony sequel at some point.
All Caps Bingo [ACB_R1]  (Ends 30 Sep)
I’ve got seventeen completed fics, four WIPs and  will be pursuing the One Fill, One Bingo  Challenge for Row 5.   “Man, shut the hell up!”, Alpha Bucky Barnes, James Rhodes, Humping, Competitive Idiocy
* N2 - Sex Toys - Filling this with the upcoming Chapter Five of Finding Something Fresh - Beta!Sub!Bucky and Omega!Dom!Steve enjoy their first sexual scene together.
* G1 - Isaiah Bradley -  Planning to add more to The Fist, Defeated.  (possibly present day)
* G2 - Nesting - This works with the upcoming Chapter 5 of Sugar-Coated Pill where Bucky and Tony finally get together. I’m combining it with my TSB “Are you there yet?” and WIB Blowjob squares. It’s sitting at 1229 words and is slated to post on Friday the 18th.
* G3 - Established Relationship - planning to fill this with Chapter 2 of   Half of the Flesh and Blood That Makes Me Whole   - a Bucky POV remix of at least the first part of Take What Was Wrong (And Make it Right), which is current sitting at  52 words.  I’m expecting at least one more chapter, possibly two, depending on how far I want to take the remix.  
* O3 - Pararescue Sam Wilson - Wrote a remix of  Falling For You from Sam’s POV as a crossover with @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt: [#FFF212 Gotta Go Fast]. Braking Their Fall came in at 607 words and will post to Ao3 before this event is over.
* O4 - AU: Domestic - filled this with Both - Both is Good. This crossed over with my WinterIron Pride Prompt Party Day 20: Both Are Good prompt - with Morgan asking her daddy if he loves Uncle Bucky like he does Mommy. It came in at 443 words and posted this morning.
Sam Wilson Bingo [SWB_R3]  (Ends 15 Oct 2023)
I have five fills and one WIP -  I need to work on cross fills between this and the All Caps, Bucky Barnes and Captain Bottom bingo!
* B4 - Natasha Romanoff -  Maybe add on to my Card Sharks drabble, where  SamNat & Steve conspire to create a polycule with Bucky?  this idea crosses over nicely with my BBB KINK: Seduction mission square
* N5 - James Rhodes - filled with Braking Their Fall - see ACB Pararescue Sam Wilson above.

@julybreakbingo is running another event to tide participants over with a 2x3 non-fandom-specific card - I got mine earlier this week and am checking it over for potential crossovers.
B2 - Character’s personality is split into two different beings – I’ve never played with Bucky & the Soldier being two different people, but this seems like the perfect opportunity! Will see what might be a good crossover on BBB or WIB (or even SVB)
C1 - Touch Starved – another good fit for a Bucky-centric fic. (either Steve or Tony)
Warm and Fluffy   Bingo  - [WFB]   (no end date)
I got my card from  @warmandfluffybingocards back in February but really hadn’t done much with it  - however, I’m picking it back up for some crossover possibilities!

————
On  other creative fronts:  I have a Robot Monster Stuffed With Character figure in progress for an upcoming con.  I will be making an announcement about commissions sometime this month so if  you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for birthdays or other celebrations, check  out Stuffed With Character    over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 150!).   These soft stuffed figures are  mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC   and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design   requests  for any fandom!

Ben Webster
Tumblr media
Benjamin Francis Webster (March 27, 1909 – September 20, 1973) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. He is considered one of the three most important "swing tenors" along with Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young. Known affectionately as "The Brute" or "Frog", he had a tough, raspy, and brutal tone on stomps (with growls), yet on ballads he played with warmth and sentiment. He was indebted to alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges, who, he said, taught him to play his instrument.
Early life and career
Born in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, he studied violin in elementary and taught himself piano with the help of his neighbor Pete Johnson, who taught him the blues. In 1927-1928 he played for silent movies in Kansas City and in Amarillo, Texas.
Once Budd Johnson showed him some basics on the saxophone, Webster began to focus on that instrument, playing in the Young Family Band (which at the time included Lester Young), although he did return to the piano from time to time, even recording on the instrument occasionally.
In his first biography (‘Ben Webster / In A mellow Tone’, Van Gennep/The Netherlands, 1992, published as ‘Ben Webster / His Life and Music’ with Berkeley Hills Books/USA in 2001), author Jeroen de Valk (assisted by Ben’s cousin Harley W. Robinson) traces back his ancestry to his great-great grandmother, a woman from Guinea who reportedly was brought to America as a slave in the early 19th century. Her son managed to escape from slavery. Ben’s father, who worked as a porter on Pullman trains, separated from his mother before his son was born. Ben was raised by his grand-aunt, Agnes Johnson, to whom he referred as his ‘grandmother’. His mother Mayme worked as a school teacher. He had to play the violin as a kid but hated the instrument, as other kids called him ‘sissy with the violin’. He had his first piano lessons by his second cousin, Joyce Cockrell. He changed to the tenor saxophone after hearing Frankie Trumbauer’s solo on the C-Melody saxophone in 'Singing The Blues', but soon Coleman Hawkins became a major influence. Webster was married for a couple of years in the early 40s to Eudora Williams. He never had a family of his own and lived with his mother and grand-aunt off and on until their passing in 1963.
Kansas City was a melting pot from which emerged some of the biggest names in 1930s jazz. Webster joined Bennie Moten's band in 1932, a grouping which also included Count Basie, Hot Lips and Walter Page. This era was recreated in Robert Altman's film Kansas City.
Webster spent time with quite a few orchestras in the 1930s, including Andy Kirk, the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra in 1934, then Benny Carter, Willie Bryant, Cab Calloway, and the short-lived Teddy Wilson big band.
With Ellington
Ben Webster played with Duke Ellington's orchestra for the first time in 1935, and by 1940 was performing with it full-time as the band's first major tenor soloist. He credited Johnny Hodges, Ellington's alto soloist, as a major influence on his playing. During the next three years, he played on many recordings, including "Cotton Tail" and "All Too Soon"; his contributions (together with that of bassist Jimmy Blanton) were so important that Ellington's orchestra during that period is known as the Blanton–Webster band. Webster left the band in 1943 after an angry altercation during which he allegedly cut up one of Ellington's suits. Another version of Webster's leaving Ellington came from Clark Terry, a longtime Ellington player, who said that, in a dispute, Webster slapped Ellington, upon which the latter gave him two weeks notice.
After Ellington
After leaving Ellington in 1943, Webster worked on 52nd Street in New York City, where he recorded frequently as both a leader and a sideman. During this time he had short periods with Raymond Scott, John Kirby, Bill DeArango, and Sid Catlett, as well as with Jay McShann's band, which also featured blues shouter Jimmy Witherspoon. For a few months in 1948, he returned briefly to Ellington's orchestra.
In 1953, he recorded King of the Tenors with pianist Oscar Peterson, who would be an important collaborator with Webster throughout the decade in his recordings for the various labels of Norman Granz. Along with Peterson, trumpeter Harry 'Sweets' Edison and others, he was touring and recording with Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic package. In 1956, he recorded a classic set with pianist Art Tatum, supported by bassist Red Callender and drummer Bill Douglass. Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster with fellow tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins was recorded on December 16, 1957, along with Peterson, Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), and Alvin Stoller (drums). The Hawkins and Webster recording is a jazz classic, the coming together of two giants of the tenor saxophone, who had first met back in Kansas City.
In the late 1950s, he formed a quintet with Gerry Mulligan and played frequently at a Los Angeles club called Renaissance. It was there that the Webster-Mulligan group backed up blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon on an album recorded live for Hi-Fi Jazz Records. That same year, 1959, the quintet, with pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, and drummer Mel Lewis, also recorded "Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster" for Verve Records (MG V-8343).
In Europe
Webster generally worked steadily, but in late 1964 he moved permanently to Europe, working with other American jazz musicians based there as well as local musicians. He played when he pleased during his last decade. He lived in London and several locations in Scandinavia for one year, followed by three years in Amsterdam and made his last home in Copenhagen in 1969. Webster appeared as a sax player in a low-rent cabaret club in the 1970 Danish blue film titled Quiet Days in Clichy. In 1971, Webster reunited with Duke Ellington and his orchestra for a couple of shows at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen; he also recorded "live" in France with Earl Hines. He also recorded or performed with Buck Clayton, Bill Coleman and Teddy Wilson.
Webster suffered a cerebral bleed in Amsterdam in September 1973, following a performance at the Twee Spieghels in Leiden, and died on 20 September. His body was cremated in Copenhagen and his ashes were buried in the Assistens Cemetery in the Nørrebro section of the city.
Legacy
After Webster's death, Billy Moore Jr., together with the trustee of Webster's estate, created the Ben Webster Foundation. Since Webster's only legal heir, Harley Robinson of Los Angeles, gladly assigned his rights to the foundation, the Ben Webster Foundation was confirmed by the Queen of Denmark's Seal in 1976. In the Foundation's trust deed, one of the initial paragraphs reads: "to support the dissemination of jazz in Denmark". The trust is a beneficial foundation which channels Webster's annual royalties to musicians in both Denmark and the U.S. An annual Ben Webster Prize is awarded to a young outstanding musician. The prize is not large, but is considered highly prestigious. Over the years, several American musicians have visited Denmark with the help of the Foundation, and concerts, a few recordings, and other jazz-related events have been supported.
Webster's private collection of jazz recordings and memorabilia is archived in the jazz collections at the University Library of Southern Denmark, Odense.
Ben Webster used the same Saxophone from 1938 until his death in 1973. Ben left instructions that the horn was never to be played again. It is on display in the Jazz Institute at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ.
Ben Webster has a street named after him in southern Copenhagen, "Ben Websters Vej".
On June 25, 2019, The New York Times Magazine listed Ben Webster among hundreds of artists whose material was reportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire.
