Currently Consuming:

Last thing I drank was coffee #2 of the day with vanilla syrup <3 I ate the ultimate family comfort food for lunch; spagetti with sunflower seeds, parmesan and garlic!! I don’t have any plans for what I’m gonna do for dinner so if anyone wants to throw some inspo my way, pls do !!

Did they lose all their hacker abilities lol

"Oh my GameCube" ajslakskjsla

"1.21 gigaflops"

The drama!

"Oh last hack! For justice!"

This is so hacking stupid xD

"Oh who? Oh jeeze. Those are some pretty doohickeys you’ve got on your arm there."

"Holy shift!"

I love those stupid ads

[[MORE]]

I just remembered what happened at the end of last week and now I’m suffering

Mmm I don’t like the idea that he’s an "ongoing" experiment vs an old failed one

Uh... someone hug him??

"I am like them. I... was like them. I...am like them..." Oh baby.

I forgot he hadn’t shared with everyone yet and now it hurts

C: "I liked being seen as I should have been. Or could have been."

Thank you, Jester! Where’s the group hug, someone initiate a group hug.

Also I just realized Veth won’t be there at dinner?? Right?

B: "no one blames you."

C: "heh... one person does."

Oh wait good it’s tomorrow so Veth will be able to be there

My god, they are exactly the chaotic aunts and uncles we all knew they’d be

Word of recall sounds VERY handy

We’re not going to make it to dinner and before break and I’m going to have to be in suspense until I can finish it tomorrow

New book harness!

lmao Jester this outfit is elaborate

LOL Jester you’re gonna break the shopkeeper

This does sound really cute for Veth

Awww she’s doing a little Keyleth imitation

Everyone: elaborate outfits

Fjord: coat plz

Give them Nonagon as a name, Beau

It’s wild that there’s NOTHING?

Oh good break just in time for me to sleep

I’m back and I’m still not ready

So like obviously attacking Trent here in own dojo would be dumb

Not that I think this is where that’s headed but hey

I haaaate Trent he’s such a creep

LOL picking on Wulf

Caduceus lol

He’s such a creep making his creepy power moves

Mind ya damn business Ickythong

Don’t compare yourself to them, you FREAK

W: "you, what are you?"

Cad: "Vegetarian, so I hope the meal reflects that."

Catch me crack whipping Wulf/Cad

Ooo they trying to get the inside deets

Don’t tell them NOTHIN’

"You might not inquire." YAS Jester

He’s a creeeeep and I haaaate him

PLEASE succeed that deception check

It did sound like he said "tissue"

He did NOT know what he’s getting into with the M9

Oh shit is this the one Essek killed after Caleb talked to her

It is oh boy

Caleb isn’t being especially subtle, not that I can blame him

How... diplomatic of him. But still def suggesting war.

Cad and Jester calling him on his shit I am LIVING for it

lmao Beau stealing the thunder of Astrid’s showing off

Fuck off Astrid

"I have good friends. Good people." Buuuurn

The way Trent keeps "tripping up" over Caleb’s name

And also like how he’s like low key acting like he gets any credit for who Caleb is now (which, he does I guess, but not the kind of credit anyone should want)

Beau and Cad calling Trent on his shit still and I’m still living for it

"You have the eventual makings of an assembly member yourself" bitch he’ll tear your assembly to shreds

"To truly grow you needed to be broken, and left to build yourself"

Oh god wait what

Somebody fucking STAB him

They fucking stole and then returned his memory didn’t they, they did it all

STAB

HIM

NOW

WITH A RED HOT POKER

I haaaate him

What does the symbol mean

What does it meannnnnn

Somehow this is even worse than anything I imagined. That they "broke" him on purpose.

I can’t wait for Caleb to tear him to fucking SHREDS

"I did out of love" IM WITH JESTER

DONT you being his parents into this like they would have wanted this you sick fucking fuck

"It is the greater man who puts the needs of others over himself Bren"

I fucking hate

Trent saying that Astrid and Wulf don’t have what it takes to basically be Trent 2.0 but that Caleb does will backfire on him, since Astrid WANTS to be Trent 2.0

Some interesting vibes off Astrid...

Caleb’s response should be "you haven’t made me what I am. They ARE who have made me who I am. I was not what I am now before I met them."

Steal all of Trent’s glory

I hope he dies painfully.

Godddddd

I’m seething irl you guys

"Whatever it takes to keep the people of the Empire safe" your families and those children ARE the people of the Empire!! Who the fuck are you protecting??

YES Caleb, thank you.

Also don’t use that "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" thing

"When talent rises from nothing, then nothing truly is lost."

"What if the thing to do now is to supplant you. To pluck you up like a weed and do better."

Fucking. He probably means it which means there won’t be any satisfaction in tearing him to shreds

Oh...

That’s interesting but it also sounds like a trap

Like they’re trying to draw Caleb back by saying "you could fix it by taking over"

Trent’s gonna hurt Astrid huh

I hate this

"Don’t disappoint me" let’s find a way to disappoint him

I hate him

Fjord just dropping the beacon question like a bomb

"You’ve only seen the one. That is what we have."

Okay okay he said HAVE though.

That’s not an answer.

Like Matt says he’s telling the truth, but it’s like when Pinocchio in Shrek avoids lying by obfuscating things and being indirect.

How can they have only just begun research on something he claims they don’t still have

They need to ask some more very specific questions, like "how many beacons do you have RIGHT NOW", and "how many beacons have you found, in total, ever".

Why would you mention the Eyes of Nine to him

"He has a hobby. He’s a sculptor." That’s a dig

"Didn’t need those ten years" ouch...

Hey guys please give Caleb a group hug after this. Don’t leave him alone for a while.

Cad: "I think you are one of the most powerful mages that I’ve ever been in the company of. For this I would offer a gift. I think it’s been a long time since someone point out that you’re a fool. Pain doesn’t make people. Love makes people.......I wish for you, in the future, to find someone who will mourn you when you’re gone.

Respectfully."

BOOM

Like I couldn’t type fast enough for this whole thing but that was AMAZING

Fucking LOVE Caduceus nothing but respect for MY firbolg cleric

Jester buddying up and being sweet to Astrid is... good. I don’t like her but I feel like maybe being kind to her is a good way to go. And Wulf too. Maybe they can be saved after all.

I was joking and I’m still joking but I really do want Cad and Wulf to like... hang out

That hurt a lot but went better than I anticipated overall

Marisha’s notes are amazing, like the fact that she remembers this shit is amazing

Oooo Cree is gone that’s interesting

I have a bad feeling

Bad feel bad feel bad feel

“I know a nice place” and he finds the shittiest inn xD

He’s gonna do some fancy spell I assume

Jester is so cute trying to make him feel good about it, probably assuming it’s a nostalgia thing lol

Where are they gooooooooing Maaaaaaatt I wanna knoooooowwww

Love you too!

[isobel-thorm]

Gatthew for the ship meme? 👀💕

General:

Rate the Ship -   Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs | Gohn is gone, Blood on My Name is dead, and Gatthew is CANON

How long will they last? - 4 Lyfe

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Slowly, but all at once, just kinda ‘oh he’s kinda cute - shutthefuckupNicIdon’tneedawingwoman- what do you mean he’s interested? Oh no, there goes my heart.’

How was their first kiss? - Grant counts the undercover distraction fiasco as their first kiss, because it was fleeting and quick but made both of them go ‘Huh...’ once they got home. 

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Iirc Grant does first, but Matt was planning on it. It was very very oversimplified and “hey do you wanna get married? We should.” 

Who is the best man/men/maid of honor/bridesmaids? - Nic’s Grant’s best woman, Jacob’s his best man. Nick and Sharky are Matt’s best men.

Who did the most planning? - Neither planned shit bc they’re not planners with the big events like this. John and Nic took the reigns for them and threatened them on pain of death not to interfere bc they were determined to make it as special as possible for them. 

Who stressed the most? - Matt. He was anxious about it all. Grant was a little bit of anxious but had the fallback “I’ve had a building fall on top of me, I can handle this” to consider. 

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.  Call it 7.5 because they wanted small and quiet but considering their two self appointed wedding planners it was small-ish and quiet but also the decor was top notch. They caved and had it at John’s house so the whole place was decorated to the nines. 

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - Hurk Sr. Also, Cajun and Sundance and any of their other horse friends. 

Sex:

Who is on top? - Matt, more often than not.

Who is the one to instigate things? - Also Matt.

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? - A couple of rounds, they keep it at one once their family starts growing. 

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Absolutely

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - Zero

How many children will they adopt? - Four

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - All of their kids were beyond the potty training stage at adoption time and they were never so grateful for that in their lives. 

Who is the stricter parent? - It’s Grant, but by a hair, just because he’s harder to break. Both of them are pretty laid back, spoiling-friendly dads. 

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Grant. He’s caught Ezra midair straight off the jungle gym on more than one occasion. 

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Both

Who is the more loved parent? - Also both, no contest. 

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? Matt, for the sole reason of free baked goods. 

Who cried the most at graduation? - Both again.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Both, but it also depends on just what the trouble is. As cops themselves, they want their kids to learn that actions have consequences and the consequences need to be carried out.  Except if they know the cop who caught the kids doing something ‘Wrong’ was having a bad day/week/etc and they even feel the issue was blown out of proportion professionally, then they’d try to run interference. 

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Either. They tend to alternate or just work together on a meal. 

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Matt, though its not as much picky as much as ‘this could be way way sweeter.’

Who does the grocery shopping? - Both

How often do they bake desserts? - At least a couple of times a week. Matt can’t be stopped, and Grant knows better than to keep his man from baked goods. 

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Neither are big on salads, so they lean more towards the meat end. Grant occasionally tries to give vegetarian stuff a try just to see how/why Jacob would choose to suffer like that. 

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - That would be another one of those cases where they just happen to do it at the same time so they end up having to rearrange schedules so both work out. 

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Neither. They’re both homebodies and are content staying home, unless Nic, John, Sharky or Mary May twist their arm to swing by the Spread Eagle. 

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidentally while cooking? - Matt, probably, but it would take one Hell of a distraction for it to get that dire. 

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - Both

Who is really against chores? - Both

Who cleans up after the pets? - Both, unless they’re on vacation and visiting Grant’s uncles. If there are horses involved, Grant’s on his own. 

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Matt, though he’s usually good about resisting the urge. 

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Neither. A lot of their friends show up unannounced so they’re ready for anything anytime after a while. 

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Matt

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Matt

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Both

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - A couple of weeks before for Non-Christmas holidays, Christmas stuff will be up the week after Thanksgiving. 

What are their goals for the relationship? - Not scare the other person away, get married, have kids, raise happy family.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Matt

Who plays the most pranks? - Matt

Notes for I Have Always Loved The Door (pt 1)

I Have Always Loved The Door is the Wen Qing/Mianmian fic that all the wlw wanted but canon could not in any way make happen 

This is part one of three, i’m sorry, but it is a 30k fic and i’ve never written anything this long. it’s like. six months of my life. annotations are gonna be longer, too.

What is this fic About? Uh. Lots. Mostly your relationship with your past and your future. making choices about what you carry with you into your life.

title is from Charly Bliss’ “Percolator” but like. the rest of the fic is in no way related to the song. Just the lyrics “I have always loved the door/but I will always love you more/I love metaphors” fit well for the wen qing mood

it is a fucking CRIME that wen qing died, and while i’m happy that luo qingyang got a happy ending with a soft man who just wants to make her happy, i think she deserves more. so i gave her a fancy job

i struggled with the outline for this so much until i realized that mianmian’s canon arc is partially about saying goodbye to your home/family because you no longer fit there + it’s not a great place anymore. and that’s so close 2 wen qing’s

so that drove a great part of the plot, and helped shape the youya/tuzai bit

ch 1

the first chapter is so funny and then nothing ever approaches it, i’m so sorry i got ur hopes up with the shennans TTnTT

i hate most of my writing after it’s up but i still like this chapter. wen qing being a doctor, nmj knowing his place, mianmian cursing loudly

“If you’ve been knuckles-deep in me, you can consider yourself a friend” i spend a lot of time in this fic trying to kill wen qing with Lesbianism, but honestly that’s just to make up for mianmian killing herself with lesbianism.

this was b4 i decided to care how i ended chapters haha

ch 2

i’m proud honestly of this fic alternating perspective, bc it forced me to learn to write more distinct voices. 

“are you eating enough red meat?” “in the unclean realm?” 

if i had 2 be in a Great Sect i would 100% want to be in the big sexy sword jock sect but unfortunately i’m a vegetarian

please think of me, an average-sized gay, with noodle arms, pushing away all the giant cooks and self-appointed nie aunties, who are trying to shove meat into my mouth

like you know how cats avoid the bath??? and their people are like “jesus fuck how is this 10 lb animal defeating me, i’m huge and strong and also have thumbs”??? that, except it’s an average sized sword gay fighting ten RIPPED aunties holding out beef

i do love the mianqing dynamic i created here and i’m not sure i kept it up but WHATEVER this is about annotations not about editing

mianmian: god FUCK the jin clan, the jin clan sux. wen qing: hmmmmmmmmmm

i think mianmian’s three older sisters might show up in a future work in the series

yeah, i fell in love with this au, there will be at least one epilogue.

ch 3

oh ho ho!!! it’s the beginning of Sword Content!!!

i watched so many videos of dao work vs jian work and then i ignored all of it!!!

by that i mean “there were only like two decent-quality videos on dao work that i found on youtube and i couldn’t study them hard enough to get what i wanted”

someone trying to correct your practice with boring, irrelevant suggestions??? it’s extremely likely, it’s happened to me multiple times, i straight up stopped practicing outside bc of it

please, men, i’m begging you. if you see me doing martial arts, rather than correcting me, ask “oh cool, what are you doing? ah, i do [this art]” and like. talk with me like i’m a human

not to be A Bitch but there is a 70% chance that i’ve actually studied more marital arts than you, on account of most ppl abandoning within a few years, and me practicing aikido for more than a fucking decade

god swinging a weapon full-speed at someone and stopping inches from their head??? a Fun Time

mianmian’s doing it as a big dick energy move

but in my school we just trusted each other to not fuck up.

im too gay to want any “”””homophobia””” or “””discovering you’re gay”””” or “””coming out”””” plots, i just wanna fast forward to the “”””i wanna kiss a girl””” bit

OH MAN i forgot wwx’s voice in wen qing’s head. 

“even after his death the yiling patriarch managed to annoy her” i love wen qing

ch 4

IT’S THE MEMORIAL DINNER CHAPTER

memorial dinners are an important part of my household’s mourning process sorry

“she waved her hand to indicate the entirety of his use of demonic cultivation, fall from grace, and mass murder” mood wen qing. fucking mood.

oh my god im rereading this and seeing where i misspelled shit ugh. sorry lwj

so sometimes i’m vague about food and that’s because the only food i can think of when i’m writing is pork. i just. can’t remember what other foods u can eat. pork and also buns (but meat buns) soup? never heard of her. chicken? what is that??? piles of vegetables??? no one eats that obviously

please remember that im vegetarian and not only do i not eat pork, what i do eat is piles of vegetables

ah yes!!! time for mianmian to say prisons are for burning!!!!

our girls are both radical leftists sorry not sorry

acab, reproductive rights, prisons are for burning, capitalism is an inherently exploitative system, unionize your workplace

“tip your servers well” -- wen qing

wwx, shouting from beyond the grave: GET SOME, GIRLS!!!

wwx’s ghost: do y’all need anything? snacks? water? a condom? ah, love you kids, you keep me young

oh i forgot “for my local radical,” i should make sure to keep using ‘my radical’ as a cute endearment for the wives

ch 5

awwwww yeahhhhhhh trauma dreamsssss

writing jin guangyao is so fun!! and stressful!!!

fun because he never says anything straight, only through six layers of plausible deniability, and that’s just a fun exercise

fun also because i Love a Bitch. 

stressful because he never says anything straight, only through six layers of plausible deniability. 

the bit where he threatens to expose wen qing and mentions specifically that nmj does not like being lied to??? took me several times to perfect and im still not happy!!! 

but i’m deeply proud of him sending the flame hairpiece, that’s some a+ innocent-looking menace right there, that’s the only thing on this planet i believe in anymore

i loved making up sect politics that weren’t specifically “let’s put up watchtowers” because i don’t think that happened while jgs was still alive

uh @ self why did i capitalize da-ge that’s so uncomfortable.

oh my god i just realized that jin guangyao has to watch his ex boyfriend/nie mingjue treat mianmian the way he used to be treated oh fuck

sorry i was not at all writing 3zun cinderella when i wrote this so i wasn’t in the habit of thinking about jgy being in pain and now???

get fukt jin guangyao

he 100% cries to lxc about this later

what’s that??? you say i keep writing overthinkers who are anxious and terrified of everything??? huh i’m not sure i agree and if even if you were right i’m not sure it means anything

“grumpy frog” mianmian mvp

god the flame hairpiece is one of like two whole good endings i did for this fic haha

next time: ch 6-10!!

Pleasant Revelations (Brian May x Reader)

Summary:  brian finally built up the courage to ask you on a date! he decides a dinner is perfect, however the universe has other plans.

Words: 1,209

Notes: fluff fluff fluff + beautiful night skies

A/N: hi! i finally wrote something!! the universe always goes against me so i got inspired by it’s hate for me when it comes to anything social.. anyways hope you all enjoy please let me know what you think 🌻💗

~~~~~~~~~

The night you and brian had long awaited finally came, your first date. John, your close friend, had invited you over for a movie night and his bandmates happened to be there. When Brian saw you, his heart fluttered and he completely froze. That was why he waited until John invited you to hang-out again, before making a move. When John had invited you for lunch, Brian just so happened to be over and said hi. That was his move.

After that, you regularly came over for game nights. Brian would always sit next to you and make small talk; You enjoyed one another’s presence. Until one day, he actually did it. You were both cleaning up the scrabble pieces while the others fetched dinner. When you weren’t looking, Brian spelled out a message with the letters.

“Hey, Y/N.”

“Yeah?”

You looked over at him, to see the scrabble letter arranged to spell ‘date with me?’.You looked at him in disbelief, then suddenly bursting into laughter. In that moment, Brian wanted to jump out the window. He thought that you thought he was pathetic. Thoughts of awkward future conversations flashed through his mind and he was ready for them.

“Bri, i’d love to.” You said in between laughs. Bri sighed a breath of relief, and wiped some non-existent sweat off his brow.

He had invited you for some dinner at a fancy restaurant. You heard the doorbell ring and you grabbed your purse and hurried to the door, in your heels. You opened up the door to a tall Bri wearing a black suit. He held out his arm like a gentleman and you suppress a giggle.

“Shall we?”

“We shall.” You smiled taking his arm. He guided towards his car and opened the passenger seat door for you. You stepped in and sat down as he shut the door. You fastened your seat belt as Brian sat at the driver’s seat and did the same.

“So wanna give me any hint to where we’re going.” He backed out of your driveway and you were both on the road. “Well, it’s this nice place that has some really vegetarian food.” He smiled. A comforting silence came over and you both relaxed. You were really excited to get to know more about Brian, one on one. This was his chance to show you how much he loved you. It seemed like the perfect night, however once, you had both arrived at the restaurant, you were informed of a troubling news.

“Sorry Sir, but we overbooked. We can give you a reservation for tomorrow. ”

“No, it’s fine.” Brian sighed as he walked back over to you. You were gleaming with excitement which was about to be crushed. Once again his mind raced with the craziest scenarios. What if you stormed out in the parking lot? What if you'd never go talk to him again?

He needed to salvage this date, but he didn’t have any idea. Your first date with him wasn’t even going to happen. He felt like shit. He looked up at the night sky and an idea popped right in.

“Hey so they overbooked.”

“Oh.”

“But I know this other great place that's at the outskirts of town. It's a 30 minute drive, but it's gorgeous.” He said, trying to lighten the mood. A silence passed over, and his idea lingered in the air.

“Well then, what are we waiting for?” You exclaimed, not being able to contain your anticipation. Brian saw the glint in your eyes and was determined to make this the best date ever.

You both hopped back in the car, as he started the car. He drove as quickly as he could,but that was problem. He must've run over a nail or something because a hissing sound became evident from the back of the car. You both looked at each other in distress before Brian pulled the car over and stepped out. He looked over to see the tire had been reduced to a flat pancake. Brian watched in horror, as you stepped out to take a look for yourself.

“Oh no.”

You were both stuck on a long dark road with nothing but fields for miles. Terror was evident and Brian was starting to believe the universe was against him. How was he going to do this. It seemed as if everything he tried would come crumbling down. Suddenly, you bursted into a fit of laughter. Brian was ready to shit himself.

“Oh, Bri. I’m sorry it’s just quite funny if you think about it.” You said as you tried to calm down, however Brian thought about it as well. The odds were trying their best to pull you two apart, but here you both were laughing. He started laughing which got you laughing once again. Once, the laughter cleared, you decided it was your turn to attempt to fix the date.

“I have an idea!” You said taking his hand and dragging him to the nearby field. You laid down and looked back up at him expectantly. He furrowed his eyebrows, not getting what you were trying to convey.

“Lie down next to me, Silly.”

You pat the spot of grass next to you as he walked over and laid down. You were both facing the night sky, but your heads were right beside each other. The stars were scattered onto the sky creating the most wonderful constellations. It was breathtaking. It was extraordinary enough to calm Bri down.

“I’ve always found that the best things happen when you step back and take a breath.” You smiled, looking beside you. Brian nodded, unable to take his eyes away from the night sky. You giggled at the curly-haired man, he looked significantly less stressed than he previously did. He looked like he was actually enjoying the moment.

He finally looked back at you and stroked your cheek. “You’re very much right.”

“I’m sorry I was so anxious. I just didn’t think I was living up to first date expectations.”

“Bri, the mere sight of you surpasses any and all of my expectations. I love you for you, and no amount of inconveniences will stop that.”

His face flushed a deep red as he continued to stroke your cheek, heart racing. He suddenly stopped and peered deep into your eyes.

“May I?”

“You, Brian May, may.”

You chuckled at your joke while Bri rolled his eyes.

“You ruined the mood.”

He said before placing your lips upon yours. The way you made him feel was indescribable.  He felt as if he could see a hundred rainbows; He felt as if his heart jumped out his chest and right into yours. Every speck of distress that haunted him tonight melted away. Both of your hearts had found each other, just as your lips had. It felt amazing, and you hummed happily, content with how this was going. You pulled away.

“Well, nothing can top this.”

You both laughed and you spent the night having intimate conversations, wrapped in each other’s arms until a car passed by and helped you repair Bri’s car. For all the trouble that occured, It was the best first date you’ve had, you couldn’t wait for date two.

Lyric prompt: "I clutched my life and wished it kept/ My dearest love/ I'm not done yet/ How many years/ I know I'll bear/ I found something/ In the woods somewhere" (In the Woods Somewhere by Hozier) maybe with Bruce/Bucky???

Bruce wasn’t anticipating finding Bucky Barnes in the middle of the fucking woods as he was running from the government. But hey. There has been weirder shit that’s happened. (Read: Hulk doing an interview, Bruce being on the no-fly list, and Tony Stark sending him a snapchat that was obviously meant for Rhodey, as it was a paragraph-long rant about Steve and planning.) 

But Bucky Barnes was in the middle of the woods, sitting on a felled tree. He looked like a punk member of the fae, maybe a demon. Bruce fumbles with the zipper on his jacket. 

“Um, hi?” Barnes zeroes in on him, already holding a knife and taking aim. “So, you might not want to hurt me, as I can level a forest in probably thirty minutes give or take. Which isn’t a good idea, as I also am a conservationist. I will find you.” He puts the knife down. 

“Who the hell are you?” He asks. “Hydra send you?” 

“Nah,” Bruce says. “Hydra can’t really send anyone in here, it’s private property. You only got in because you’re Winter Soldier.” 

“You know who I am?” 

“It’s pretty hard to not recognize you,” Bruce admits. “We’ve been looking for you for a while. Well, the other Avengers have.” Bucky gets off the tree. “You wanna, um, maybe get some dinner? I don’t know if your metabolism is like Steve’s, but I’m betting you haven’t eaten in a while–” 

They eat at a fancy restaurant because Bruce likes vegetarian options. So while he’s having a pretty good salad and pasta combo–it was the deal, not like he was going to pass it up–Bucky is wolfing down an entree of spaghetti for two people in what looked to be maybe ten minutes. He wasn’t even getting sauce around his mouth, which was unfair. 

“So, why didn’t you look for me?” Bucky asks. “Since apparently, I’m hot stuff for you guys.” Bruce snorts, adjusting his glasses. 

“No offense to you or anything, but I figure that if you wanted to be found, it wouldn’t be hard to catch you. So I had more important things to do, like piss of the army and solve some environmental problems.” Bucky nods, stealing a bit of Bruce’s pasta. “My pasta, James.” 

“I’m a brainwashed assassin, I’m pretty sure you can spare some pasta,” he responds. Bruce shrugs; yeah, probably. 

He doesn’t tell anyone on the team. Doesn’t really think they need to know, especially because James doesn’t exactly want them to know about him yet. But Hulk will see him on missions, sniping the agents that get a hair too close. He grins at Hulk, saluting. 

Bruce takes him a picnic on the park. There’s fancy sparkling cider, a prank pulled, and smiles. Bucky now hates the taste of La Croix and refuses to even think about trying any other sparkling water out there. 

They go other places. Bucky likes to try new restaurants and loves Indian food, which makes Bruce very happy. 

They hold hands a month later when Bruce sees a politican he recognizes and wants to hide so that he doesn’t get technically kidnapped. 

Bucky kisses him when they’re stargazing. 

He comes home three months in when he’s sick and Bruce makes him black bean soup.

this might seem out of the blue but i’ve just kinda been thinking about it & i wanna give out some advice to young ppl starting out who might not have a lot of money and are kind of floundering for what kinds of foods they can eat besides ramen that are relatively cheap!! so i have a lil list here of stuff that’s pretty helpful (or at least has been to me).

rice, beans, & corn -- just some rice with canned beans and corn! rice is really good because it’s filling and relatively cheap, it can last for a long time, too! canned foods are also relatively inexpensive typically, and the corn gives you a veggie & the beans are a good protein source. usually i like to add a little butter to the rice after it’s done, and put some salt & pepper on it so its got a lil more flavor, but you can always add spices and stuff!! also good if you’re a vegetarian/vegan (just obviously don’t add the butter).

spaghetti -- really good if you need something that you can cook a couple nights a week. go for one of those big 2lbs boxes and a big ole jar of spaghetti sauce. it’s really east to make and good for a quick meal. also, you can always add some ground beef/turkey if you eat meat--look out for meat sales at your local grocery if you can, and remember that you can freeze stuff, so long as you have a freezer!

egg noodles & beef stew -- great source of protein and delicious, too! it’s not really vegetarian friendly, unfortunately, but if you happen to eat meat it’s pretty good. make egg noodles, heat up the (canned) beef stew and voila, dinner. super filling. one of my favorites.

pastaroni & frozen veggies -- pastaroni is like $1/box in most places, and it’s super fucking good. efficient for time, because most boxes take like 8 minutes tops to make, but it depends on what kind you get! i like to buy steamer bags of frozen veggies and cook them in the microwave, then put it in with the pasta! vegetarian friendly, and also really good/one of my favs!

fancy instant ramen -- i lied, it’s not really all that fancy. basically it’s just one of those packets of instant ramen with matchstick carrots (which you can also use for salads and stuff if you’re into that kind of thing! or just shove them in your face at like 3 am because you’re freaked out you haven’t had enough vitamins lately) and another misc veggie (i like to do bell peppers personally. the first time i made it it was like the only vegetable left in my fridge), with egg white dropped in. make sure to put the veggies in long enough to cook a little. i usually put the egg-white in towards the end, just make sure it’s all cooked in before you actually go and eat it! relatively filling, good for chilly days.

eggroll in a bowl -- my parents gave me this one and i haven’t made it much, but it’s pretty good! spicy ground turkey sausage (don’t try to open up actual turkey sausages, it’s hell to get the casings off), and cole-slaw salad mix (WITHOUT the mayo and shit, obviously). make sure to cook up the turkey first, then put in the veggies. can’t remember what my parents cooked it up with, but i think it might have been soy sauce. obviously you can have it without. good for protein and veggies, unfortunately not the most filling, and a little more pricey. tasty, tho.

ofc if anyone has anything else to add, go ahead and contribute! it makes me sad to hear ppl my age (and even older) not knowing about making anything other than mac and ramen!! i hope this helps at all & ily all
