if god was real buttcheeks would not be so big so ass to ass scissoring was possible.

[quiescentdestiny]

so many people out here saying Neil lied about going to California, but low-key I assumed it was more of a "didn't ask" type situation.

Even Kevin says "we knew who he was meeting, so we assumed he was going to Baltimore."

Neil is the king of "ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies".

Andrew wasn't angry because he didn't care that Neil had lied. Because he technically didn't, and Andrew lives on black and white and technicalities.

[adventures-in-mangaland]

I'm going with 10 All Time Classics from the Captain America (MCU) fandom. I mean, they're all classics to me, at least. In no particular order:

1. This, You Protect by owlet

First installment in the Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail series, which are all amazing. It's a “Bucky escaping Hydra and rebuilding his sense of self” fic, which he does while spying on Steve. With eventual Avengers Family and a lovely cast of OCs bonding with Bucky in the meantime. It has a very distinctive perspective and writing style; Bucky's in constant internal (and sometimes accidentally external) dialogue with himself, making it hilarious and tragic all at the same time. I love it. I've recently been getting into The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells and this Bucky has a similar sassy-but-vulnerable vibe? Read this if you like that, anyway.

2. The One Who Knows by Dira Sudis (dsudis)

This is a Political Animals AU, in that no-powers Steve is inserted into the Political Animals world and Bucky is TJ. Discusses being outed and depression but is ultimately hopeful. The author is one of my all time faves and has written lots of great stories for this and many other fandoms.

3. Blue Scales by chaya

Steve is a merman AU. He's still Captain America, though. It's crack with heart, I love it.

Best line: "May your scales and your love story be our weird secret forever.”

4. Our Lingering Frost by eyres

AU where Bucky is rescued from Hydra in the 50s (?) and so is around for Steve to be found.

5. Assets Out of Containment by follow_the_sun

It's a classic to *me*, OK? Bucky goes undercover at Jurassic World just as that movie's plot kicks off. They're Hydra dinosaurs! It's just great. Also has a podfic and crossovers with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

6. Not Easily Conquered (series) by dropdeaddream and WhatAreFears

Some of the greatest fanfiction I've ever read, the whole series is epic. Anyway, it's a "Steve doesn't go into the ice" AU with added queer angst when (never sent) love letters from Bucky resurface. I particularly like the second installment in the series The Thirteen Letters, which are just Bucky's letters and are insanely well-written.

7. to memory now I can't recall by Etharei

Time travel AU! Featuring post-CATWS Bucky accidentally switching places with CATFA era Bucky.

8. If Wishing Made It So by Leveragehunters (Monkeygreen)

Genie!Bucky AU! This author is great at writing AUs with fantasy/genre elements, it was hard to choose. They've also written an excellent werewolf!Steve AU and a horse!Steve AU that I really love.

9. Into That Good Night by Nonymos

An Interstellar AU! Very angsty and tragic but with an eventual happy ending.

10. Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square by Speranza

Speranza must be one of the best writers in the fandom, so it was hard to pick just one of their fics. Other strong contenders were All the Angels and the Saints and The Fifties, so check those out too! But this one has a special place in my heart. Steve, Tony and Natasha accidentally time travel to WW2 London, leading to an accidental run-in with CATFA-era Bucky. The author does tragic and romantic time travel tropes so well, but with a happy ending.

I now realise that most of these are AUs, so here’s a bonus rec for a non-AU in-universe story that’s severely underrated and deserves more love:

+1

Heart, Have No Pity on this House of Bone by Sena

This story follows Bucky in-action in the Pacific Theatre. It’s very well written and, from what I can tell, well researched. Steve only appears in Bucky’s imagination and the story focuses on the horrors of war rather than romance, but it’s gripping! And it explores unrequited love, being closeted and period-typical homophobia, which I also enjoyed. I’m still holding out hope for a sequel.

you wake up to benji fucking you he just needed it he couldn’t help it he’s sorry okay

Waking up is weird.

It’s kind of a shame, actually, trying desperately to hold on to the sensations of what must have been a sex dream - god, it’s been a while since you’ve had a naughty dream, and in the haze of your semi-consciousness, it’s easy to hold on to it. The delicious pressure and pulse of being on the verge of cumming. Not immediately so - no, not yet. On the way. All that spark, the heat and… and… -

The more awake you are, the more something is clearly wrong. It’s not a dream. It’s - fuck, what -

“Mmm… wait. Wait,” you moan groggily, stirring. You’re on your side, as usual, but you’re not alone. Everything hits you at once, really, waking up into it. It’s not a panic, not per se. But it’s disorienting, and your little moans and noises alert the body behind you - warm, strong. Panting in your ear a little. Everything comes together to form a picture, a hand holding your thigh up so that they’re parted, being fucked deeply, tenderly into, the soft sounds he makes.

“Honey - hey. It’s okay. It’s okay,” Benji whispers, kissing your throat. His facial hair is scratchy, his breaths tickling your skin as he pumps his hips. He’s not fucking into you hard. He’s gentle, sliding in and out. Tender. Thick cock opening you up to him kindly, almost, deep enough to make you gasp but not painful. Just a stretch. There’s no way to have Benji inside without a little stretch - he’s so thick, after all.

“But…”

“Mmm, no, baby - hey, I’m sorry I scared you. I couldn’t help it. You were so wet,” he murmurs, moaning into the nape of your neck. “And you look so fuckin’ good like this. You don’t know what you do to me.”

“Benji -”

“No. Hey - I know what you need,” Benji moans, and he pushes deeper, a little harder. He releases his grip on your thigh and reaches back somewhere behind him, humming as he continues to fuck into you. His hand comes back with a lit roach, bringing it tenderly to your lips. “Take a hit. C’mon. Wake and bake while I take care of my girl.”

It’s easy to pull in a little hit, just a baby one. It’s still so dark out; the sun hasn’t come up yet. The room is so dim, and Benji’s this warm, anchoring force. You should be upset. But you’re just so sleepy, so close already - how long has he been inside of you at this point? Smoke curls out from your lips in a soft exhale and Benji makes a content sound in his chest, vibrating right up against you, whispering in your ear. Good girl, that’s my fuckin’ girl. Relax. Let me take care of you. You’re not sure if it’s because you’re awake now or because you’re both approaching the edge, but he’s fucking into you even harder. Roach forgotten (likely on his nightstand ashtray), Benji snakes his hand between your thighs and rubs your clit so sweetly, so fucking nice, rapid gentle circles that make you whine and rock against him.

“That’s it. Fuck, dude, you’re so fuckin’ pretty, you know that?” His voice, low and high at the same time, reverent, kind, in awe of the way you open up for him and take it. The way he can make you melt under his knowing touch. Benji’s so warm. He smells smoky, smells so… Benji. Musky and comforting. A well-loved sweater, a blanket that’s been sitting in the sunshine. Yours. All yours. “Gunna cum for me?”

You shake your head yes, breaths going in sharp and coming out in needy, pathetic sounding moans, but you never feel pathetic - not with Benji. You feel safe, warm, absolutely held. Benji moans and it’s the most beautiful sound there is. It’s just you two, just warm, slow, pot-induced haze, just his thick cock stretching you so beautifully, just the gentle wet sounds of his fingers on your slippery clit. All you need to do is close your eyes and feel him, all of him. He nuzzles into your throat and kisses you, whispers things to you so softly you can barely hear it, his kisses trailing over your shoulder, and there it is.

Fuck, the delicious spark that rolls into a deep, wonderfully buzzy explosion in the basin of your hips. You clench and pulse and ripple against his cock and you’re making all those sounds he loves so much, his hips pistoning a little deeper, and you reach down between your thighs to feel him sliding furiously in and out of you. You feel his wet cock and reach even lower, holding his balls, and there’s a delicious choked sound in his throat as his cock gets engorged and he’s moaning your name, spurting his hot cum deep inside of you, helpless as you pet his balls and trace the seam and stroke them, thumbing the base of his slippery dick where it ruts into your body. Both of you glowing in all that dark, existing as one shared pulse in the early morning hours.

The only two people alive in the universe.

If you're still doing these 😊❤💙

Zutara

Firsts

the first person to know that katara is in love with zuko isn’t the man himself, but hakoda.

it had been ten months after katara had returned to the south pole from a two year stint as the southern water tribe ambassador in the fire nation capitol, and hakoda had watched her slowly regress into a haze of her former self. ten months was enough time for the comfort of being home again to fade into unimpassioned routine—dull eyes, efficient hands, placid smiles—but none of the fire he has come to recognize as her own special brand of happiness.

it starts to become a real issue when he notices her zoning out during tribe leadership meetings, those eyes that are so like his beloved wife’s glazing over as she stares into the hot flicker of a nearby candle. it starts to take two, three, four calls of her name for his daughter to snap out of it with an embarrassed flush and a half-assed apology.

then, the sparring starts. katara always is on top of her skills, often volunteering to teach the up-and-coming benders in lessons. however, hakoda starts hearing rumors of how she’s begun to seek out more and more intense sparring sessions—with each one ending with a bewildered (and thoroughly beaten) opponent and a woman very much so frustrated with their inability to keep pace.

when he finds her one night—much too late for any sane person, really—holding her hand over the open flame of their hut's fire with the expression of someone ten years her senior, hakoda knows it's been long enough. he sends for the fire lord (under strictly political circumstances, of course) and exactly twelve days later, the boy-king himself is docking at their shore.

and really, that's the moment that he knows his daughter's affections are returned—because even with the fastest of ships, it should be impossible to make that trip in under two weeks.

thinking about the fact that in a handful of years, people will be able to read the entire kotlc series from start to finish without having to wait years before the next book comes out

[cute-pluto]

hi its me you ever feel ill about how jaidens self worth issues makes her completely unable to fathom that shes deserving of anything more than shes given? the world hands her mere morsels and she fawns over it like its the best she could have ever been offered.

and roier makes her world so abundant. and roier hands her everything she needs and more and an unconditional love so potent she recoils the instant shes able to because she really doesnt understand she deserves this much and falls backwards right into cucuruchos grasp who offers her empty promises and scarce affection; mere morsels, and she settles into it like a glove.

[nametakensff]

Thinking about being fucked from behind by someone who is having a drawn-out fit, sneezing sporadically enough that every burst of spray across my back is a pleasant surprise. On edge in anticipation of every oncoming sneeze, sometimes paired with audible buildups that tease and give me time to prepare, sometimes so unannounced and sudden they're almost shocking. Trying to time my orgasm with a sneeze but maybe not being able to because I'm so excited not knowing when the next sneeze will come - the only guarantee being it always will 💕

I just noticed in the ns!au's most recent post, it mentioned the bad end of things, and from the looks of it...HOLY CRAP BALLISTA GOES THROUGH THE INFLUENCERTHING?? PRIMAL GETS MINECRAFTED, AGENT GOT LUCKY BLOCKED? And I assume that ns!Victim is at their reawakened form, it took me a while to notice but IS THAT THE WITCH AS HAZARD?

This leads me to wonder, what the hell happened in those timelines. Did everything go exactly the same way as avm? Were there some changes?? :000

yes that is hazard as the witch you were fooled!!! that was the plan /silly

also yes there are actually loads of changes that happened in the au, including ns?avm, some examples being how ns?avm s3 and ns? influ!arc starts

Note To Self

don't go to fanfiction reddit, they're all fucking freaks there:

"i won't click on anything shorter than 100k words!"

"this fic is overtagged, i would mute the author - what kind of fanfiction could possibly need more than three freeform tags?!"

"my latest WIP just passed a million words lol i wish i could write short things lololol (i clearly don't wish that at all)"

"i'd just put it into a oneshot collection as i don't want to spam the fanfiction website with fanfiction"

"the fic i posted yesterday only has eight million kudos on it, what did i do wrong?"

"the perfect hits-to-kudos ratio is -"

"am i overreacting or does the single emoji that this comment consisted of have a passive-aggressive subtext?"

"nobody reads WIPs, that's why i have never finished any of mine. oops, i just started another six."

"here are the 400 kinds of summary that will make me refuse to click on the fic AND mute/block the author for their insolence"

"my current rarepair fixation is a small, pathetic little pairing with only 500 fics posted about it in the past week..."

"bookmarks are for readers so i can and indeed should be openly insulting to the story/author in the notes space of a public bookmark"
