what fic do you wish you could have written?

Hiiii 💕

I'm gonna name three fics here and why I wish I could have written these fics (I initially was gonna name two fics and then I had to add the third because it is also incredible)

First is Coming Up Easy by @musette22. I wish I could have written this fic because it's just so wonderful and fun. It's basically everything I love in a fic and one of my favorite comfort fics. Like this fic feels like a warm hug after a bad day. Which I think is incredible when a writer can create a fic that just makes you feel good. Plus the writing is excellent because Minnie is a genius and all the beats are there in this story. It just works perfectly. And it's one of those fics where the pacing keeps you engaged and makes you forget you are reading a longer story. Which is amazing! Also the characterization and all the details in this story were so so good. ALSO: there were references to Steve not always being healthy and also still having some issues (which I love as a disabled person because that means there's not some magical miracle cure). AND: a cute dog and Alpine! And again all the little details. And the pining. Just everything. And how it all came together at the end. It just all worked!

Second is Not Easily Conquered by dropdeaddream & WhatAreFears. I know some people find this controversial at this point in time but I think this story has touched a lot of people in this fandom which is an incredible achievement for any writer. And writing good historical fiction is so hard! And I think the formatting was so creative. So I wish I had those skills!

Third is lane lines by @sparkagrace. This fic is amazing for so many reasons. First of all Steve makes a lot of bad choices in this fic but it's written in a way that makes you still root for him which takes a lot of skill! The pacing is phenomenal. This fic is over 132k and I read it in less than a day because the writing kept me engaged and made me wanna read more and more. It didn't feel like a long fic (I feel like I mention the "it doesn't feel long" thing a lot but I have the worst attention span and read a lot for uni so usually I can't get through long stories because my brain gives up after 10k). ALSO: I don't often read sports aus because I just don't really engage with sports that much and usually I feel like I am missing at least half of the information needed to understand things - also not the case in this fic. Me not knowing enough about Olympic swimming wasn't an issue with this fic because there was enough information for me to understand what was going on and why things mattered. Also this fic got me invested so fast! I love when that happens!

Anyway thanks for letting me fangirl about these amazing fics/writers/people 💕💕💕

i'm running out of captions. here take this

[onenicebugperday]

Had an unexpected guest in the shower! 🤣 House centipedes are much more common, this is only the second time I see a scolopendra in my house. Could it be that it was using its antennae to drink from the condensation droplets inside the glass?

I suspect this is not an adult, what do you think? It doesn't have that many legs yet, plus it doesn't look quite like the most common species in northern Italy. Body size is about 2–2.5 cm, I'd say.

What a cutie! They wouldn't use their antennae to drink, they'd just use their mouthparts for that. I'm afraid I can't tell you much about this fella, though, as I'm not familiar with Italian species and I don't know a ton about centipedes anyway! @crevicedwelling would likely know more than I would.

When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers, if you can. Let’s spread the self-love. ♥️

Thank you so much for asking this and thank you so much to @cynefinhome @ohhsodebonair and @andrea1717 for also asking ❤️ Sorry it took me a bit to answer, things have been chaotic around here!

But so five of my favorite fics I have written would be (in completely random order because choosing is hard):

Hairpin Triggers [Stucky, 6,1k posted but I have about 17k written]

Bucky first met Steve while the leaves were turning into shades of red, orange and yellow.

A story about falling in love, loving while being deeply traumatised, watching your entire life fall apart, and then putting it all back together.

This is the most personal thing I have ever written (and probably will ever write). This one is a favorite just because of how important this fic is to me.

Tough Act [Stucky, 9,2k words]

A decade after they broke up Bucky shows up on Steve’s doorstep. He needs his help. Bucky needs a boyfriend to convince his record label to let him release his next album and if he can't get a real boyfriend, a fake boyfriend will have to do.

Steve agrees. After all there's nothing that could go wrong with fake dating the guy you've always had feelings for, is there?

This one is self-indulgent fake dating and mutual pining with the pop star!bucky of my dreams AND just a bunch of elements I love in fics.

It's a Date! [Stucky, 4k words]

Steve stumbles across Bucky’s TikTok and it leads to them meeting. They get along perfectly and it's the start of something beautiful.

This one is a favorite because it's just super self-indulgent again and fueled by watching too many TikToks and this has ALL THE FLUFF. I love fluff.

Sexiest Man Alive [Evanstan, 1,3k words]

Sebastian calls Chris after seeing People has called him the sexiest man alive. Will they finally get what they've both wanted?

I just had a lot of feelings after Chris was named the sexiest man alive and this happened. I love it. I had to make it happen.

The Little Witch in the Woods [Stucky, 1k words]

Bucky was content in his little cottage in the woods, he loves practicing magic and cuddling his cat Alpine. Then one day an injured werewolf shows up on his doorstep and Bucky finds something else to love.

I love fantasy and magic and fluff and shrunkyclunks and this has all of that.

Thanks so much again for asking, it's a good excersise to go through your own works and rediscover the things you love ❤️❤️❤️

[phykoha]

him again cuz I’m off work and warmed up. (Sorry for giving him a kinda yan vibe lol. But what can I say crazy is fun to draw)

((also do his hair stalk antennae things vibrate or shake when he’s excited. I was imagining a rattle snake noise when I was drawing this lol)) ✨✨✨✨✨✨🏃‍♀️💨💨💨💨

bye

Do you plan to fix the bug as soon as they are reported or after a while(If these are not game-breaking bugs)? It's just that if the game reboots by the beginning of the chapter, I'd prefer to wait.

Game breaking bugs I'll be fixing right away so I'll be staying online to look out for those.

The big Blake bug had to do with choosing G's gender in the intro, it still had an outdated variable that I completely forgot about so it messed with most Blake choices but it should be fixed now :)

Typos, minor pronoun errors, bugs that allow you to keep playing the game I'll fix it in bulk :)

[timblrdrake]
