WIP Snip !!

tytyty darling @sortofshea for the tag!! <3

currently entrenched in an anon fest fic 👀 so no content from that, but here’s a little something from the baseball AU that i’ve had percolating for months on end :D

⁺˚*✩*˚⁺ ⁺˚*✩*˚⁺ ⁺˚*✩*˚⁺

Harry had known it was a possibility the moment he first laid eyes on Draco Malfoy.

He remembers the day in sharp relief—salty, mild Cape Cod wind licking at his cheeks during the first fielding drill of the summer, fresh dirt crunching under his spikes as he gathers a grounder into his glove. He palms the ball, stitches scraping against calloused fingers, and sends it careening into the first baseman’s glove. Out.

Routine. Simple. He’s done it hundreds, no, thousands of times. Then he turns his head to the right, meeting the piercing silver gaze just on the other side of second base.

“Nice play.”

Harry blinks. “Nothing special. But thanks. Sorry, what’s–”

“Malfoy. Draco Malfoy.” He makes no motion towards Harry for a handshake, just tugs at his hat, settling it further down over the white-blond hair poking out from beneath the brim. Harry’s eyes catch on a row of silver earrings glinting in the mid-morning sun. Malfoy is tall and slim, built more like a ballet dancer than a shortstop, but Harry can see how his sinewed form is well-suited to the agility and grace needed for infield defense. He wears his pants short, rolled all the way up above the knee, and the muscled lines of his calves are starkly visible under tall socks.

“Harry. Potter.” Harry detects the slightest raise of Malfoy’s eyebrows, a pinprick of recognition at the surname, but he says nothing. Harry clears his throat. “Where do you go to school? Didn’t look too close at the names on the lockers this morning.”

“Beauxbatons,” Malfoy says, widening his stance and knocking his fist into the pocket of his glove. “Just finished my sophomore season. And you should get more observant, because my locker is right next to yours.”

Malfoy smirks then, crooked and fleeting, and looks up to make eye contact with the coach hitting them the grounders. He inclines his head slightly, giving the go-ahead. The baseball comes in hot, skidding towards Malfoy about six feet to his right. Tough play, Harry thinks, and that’s all he has time to register before Malfoy streaks towards it in a blur of long, lithe limbs, diving down to scoop it into the emerald green leather of his glove. Athletic. In a split second, he’s made it back to his feet and sent the ball towards first base, barely looking as he flings it away.

Harry blinks again. The ball pops into the first baseman’s glove. Bullseye throw. Out.

Malfoy blows a bubble with his gum.

“That,” Harry says, “Is some major league defense.”

The smirk reappears on Malfoy’s face. Smears of red-brown dirt have bloomed across his knees and chest where he dove for the ball. He licks his lips.

“Well, that’s the goal, isn’t it?”

C.F. Gould:

During that time, I’ll be applying to Journalism school and honing my writing for the local paper.  Funny thing/thing I’ll miss/want to share: I always thought it was too late to be active in the theatre department after doing Cocktails my first year and then not auditioning for over two years. Bryan Vandevender’s dramaturgy class brought me back into the fold, though. I couldn’t be more proud of the folks involved in Gross Indecency this spring. I’ll miss you guys and the folks who I went to KCACTF with most of all. We rocked it. 

Bucknell Fulbright Winners! 

Bucknell graduates Julia Tokish ‘22 and Kate Cognard-Black ‘21(0.5) were recently awarded Fulbright Scholarships for master’s programs of their choice based in the United Kingdom. Each university selects only one Fulbright applicant where the winner is funded to travel, take classes, conduct research, and fulfill their master’s degree. The Fulbright Program is highly selective, and given that two of the winners are Bucknell graduates, let alone Bucknell Theatre students whose journeys began on the Harvey Powers Stage, makes the department immensely proud of their tremendous accomplishments. Read more about these amazing winners below:

Julia Tokish

Julia Tokish was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship within a master’s study program at the University of Leicester in the UK where she will be studying Human Rights and Global Ethics. One of the main reasons she chose Leicester was for the city’s artistic atmosphere. She enjoys the large presence of amateur-scale theaters that feel less commercialized and more intimate. While acting in high school, it was not until she arrived at Bucknell that she discovered her true calling was behind the curtain. She found a passion in stage managing with a love for tech theatre and dramaturgy research. As an International Relations, Arabic and Arab World Studies, and Theatre triple major, Julia developed a passion for the intersection of theatre, history, and social justice. After graduating from Bucknell in 2022, she felt that Bucknell Theatre brought her out of her shell and equipped her with the necessary communication, organization, and confidence skills to conquer her professional endeavors. While intending to work in international law, Julia continues to find theatre all around her, interested in the research a Leicester professor is conducting on how refugees are problematically portrayed on stage, once again melding Julia’s interests of the show itself and the historical context behind it. Julia continues to feel grateful for the lessons and connections Bucknell theatre gave her, teaching her not just how to be a better actor or stage manager but how to be a better person. She urges theatre students and graduating seniors to not be afraid to keep trying and putting themselves out there in a variety of ways. From failed auditions to not making it past the first round of her former Fulbright application, Julia whole-heartedly believes that you will find your place and your purpose as long as you keep trying. 

Kate Cognard-Black (KCB)

KCB will be taking her Fulbright Scholarship to the University of Birmingham in the UK where she will be pursuing a master’s degree at the “Shakespeare Institute” that focuses on Shakespeare in literature, theatre, and adaptations within the modern moment. Her program directly involves bringing aspiring actors, playwrights, producers, and practitioners together in an interdisciplinary space. While trying out a variety of roles in Bucknell theatre from acting to dramaturging, she discovered her main passion was directing. It was at Bucknell Theatre where she enjoyed assistant directing alongside Anjalee and even creating an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew” that was eventually picked up by a prison performing arts program in Missouri. Graduating from Bucknell with a Theatre and Creative Writing degree in December 2021, KCB entered the directing world with the knowledge that an effective leader means being a strong collaborator who is constantly open to new ideas. Grateful for the life-long connections she has made with Bucknell students and professors, KCB looks forward to the future opportunity to create art with these talented people again. To the upcoming theatre students and graduating seniors, KCB advises you to drag yourself out of bed and show up to that thing you don’t know if you should show up to, go to the thing you don’t think you belong at. Because when you open yourself up to new connections, you will be overwhelmed by the amount of people there to support you. As Hutch always says, “the people who get the opportunities are the people in the room.”

“The Best Week of College”: Arts First 

If you ask any of the Arts First kids, they will tell you that the “Arts First” pre-orientation is their favorite part of their college experience. The program is packed with hands-on sessions oriented around different art forms from ink blocking to gamelan playing. Whether you are making sashes or swords out of scarfs in the woods with Bryan or learning the art of sound and movement with Dustyn, Arts First is constantly giving you the vital opportunity to exist both in and outside of your comfort zone. 

The week is long and exhausting, but nothing brings you closer to the fellow artist beside you like literally holding up each other’s weight during the “Hutch Challenge” obstacle course or making loud animal noises and crawling around on stage Day 1. After exploring various art forms, the week culminates in a final show in which the entire group creates a theme, break-out groups, programs, and performances all in less than twenty-four hours. Something about creating art with a bunch of people formerly known as strangers and artistically putting yourself out there in a way you never would have imagined is truly a magical experience. 

As cliche as it sounds, when you are actually participating in the program, you don’t realize how special it is until it’s over. Until you are at the end of your first year at Bucknell, wondering where the time went, and you forget about the exhaustion, the imposter-syndrome, the first-day jitters. Because when you reflect on that week, all you can think about is pure happiness. One minute you are walking on the Harvey Powers Stage for the first time, forced to make eye contact with all of these random people, and the next minute you are sharing a beautiful sunrise with a group of passionate, diversely talented humans who make you feel like for the first time, you have a place to belong. 

When you are sitting in that pre-orientation meeting with your family on Day 1, you would never think that your two best friends are sitting in that room. That the wildly enthusiastic man in the kilt would become a life-long mentor. That you were blessed to have met your people on the first day of college, and you didn’t even know it yet. 

You had no idea that the cool camera guy who owns skateboard shoes and can walk on his hands would inspire the art tattoo you get in six months. That reluctantly agreeing to Macklemore’s “Can’t Hold Us” as your Karaoke song would catalyze your first formative months of college. That introducing yourself to the quiet Arts First kid with the dope nails three doors down from you would forever be one of the best decisions you ever made. 

Because Arts First was not just a great first impression of what my college experience could be like; It was the experience that influenced every subsequent experience I would end up having at Bucknell. I will be returning as a mentor at the end of the summer in hopes of giving the first-year class the type of experience I was lucky enough to have. To be their first introduction to all of the growing and loving and learning they are about to do. And so it begins. And so it goes. 

Hutch is Leaving!

I got you! That sounded a lot more dramatic than it is. No but really, it is with a combination of great sadness and pleasure to inform you that Hutch will be leaving the Publicity Team to become a Posse Mentor! This news is rather bittersweet to all of us, considering that he is taking on another impactful position at Bucknell, becoming a leader for dozens of other students; nevertheless, we are sad to see him go. 

Who will bring donuts and heckle us to hang more posters? Who will be unwaveringly difficult about Clea’s sticker design and ask about Libby’s day every meeting across the zoom call all the way in Italy? Who will bestow us with endless amounts of fatherly wisdom and recruit all of his “Arts First” kids to join the team–even the ones who never stepped foot into the Bucknell Theatre up to this point and now have to write about it? 

We are excited to be joined next year by the brilliant Anjalee Hutchinson who will make an excellent coordinator and will likely be able to send more coherent emails than the current one:) 

Hutch, I will forever miss when you share your Ritz Crackers with me and when the bullet point beneath the newsletter agenda is “ideas.” Thank you for your wit, your hard work, your genuine care for the wellbeing of your students. From all of us, we could not be more grateful for all that you do for this department and all of the lives you have touched just by being undeniably you. The team will miss you.

I CAME BACK FROM CAPE COD LAST WEEK!!!

It was a fun time spending it with my dad! Going to the Father's Day Hyannis Auto Show, Heritage Museum and Gardens, Toad Hall, Race Point, the Cape Cod Baseball League in Harwich, and more!

I'm not trying to advertise it (I just realized it sounds like one lol) but it was fun despite four out of the eight days we were there there were either chances of rain or it was a rainy day. I'll reblog to add more photos but wow!

Like a Semaphore Sign - A Gay Baseball Short Story.

It’s 1981 and perpetual outcast Duane Townsend is recruited to play summer ball in the Cape Cod Baseball League. There, he becomes teammates with effeminate Alabaman pitcher Leon Swann. The Cape, with all its magic, is their first and last chance at anonymity. They decide to take it. 

A short 5 minute read.

2 years ago I took a class on databases and we often used a baseball statistics dataset because it's cool to work with real data and it's huge and all. now I'm reading a book about the cape code baseball league and they just mentioned David Aardsma, who I would not know at all if his name did not begin with AA, making him the first to come up when you select * from baseball players sort by last name ascending. which you can imagine there was a lot of in databases class. it's all coming together

[writeineveryemptyspace]

I’m on my sports AU bullshit again, but hear me out.

Luke and the boys are baseball players. They know of each other because they’ve competed against each other, but they don’t really know each other

Julie [18 or 19] and her family live on Cape Cod

Luke and the boys all get drafted to the same team for the Cape Cod summer league (they’re all like ~19 or 20)

Julie’s family houses one of them (I’m picking Reggie for this version of my idea)

The boys meet and become fast friends. They have a busy summer but Ray insists on a family dinner once a week (when possible) and Reggie invites the boys over because like... a home cooked meal you guys!!

Luke like immediately trips over himself and falls in love with Julie (when he shows up she’s in the yard wearing a baseball jersey, a backwards baseball cap, and playing ball with Carlos)

Carlos LOVES the boys because he loves baseball and they are all the cool older brothers he never had

Julie and Flynn go to the games and Flynn 1000% clocks the crush Julie has on Luke (he plays with her brother! They wrote a dumb little song together while doing the dishes! He’s hot! Have you seen his ass in those baseball pants??)

Anyways, Julie and Flynn have always promised each other they wouldn’t hook up with the summer leaguers (or tourists!!) so when they go to a bonfire on the beach with the team, Julie avoids the heck out of Luke until he finally gets her to talk to him

And he maybe walks her home and kisses her goodnight

Then he panics and is like I can’t I have to focus on the game. 

It’s awkward but they make things ok again

And then the draft happens and he’s watching at Julie’s house with the boys and he gets drafted(!!!) and there is some celebratory kissing especially because the team is based near where Julie is going to college

[klaineccfanficlibrary]

Looking for a fanfic where both Blaine and Kurt are professional baseball players but on different teams. one is a catcher one is a pitcher.
