Chapter 27

Warnings: None

Copyright: I do not own any Marvel characters or locations. However, I do own my OCs: Elizabeth Silvertongue and Clementine Greenleaf. I also own Clementines' brother Donavan. The following OCs are owned by other Wattpad writers as this is a collaboration project. Their OCs are on the face claim page. I do not condone any copying of this.

"I don't like this." Bucky murmured for the seventeenth time of the car trip as I slowly pulled the car into the neighborhood I had lived in my entire life. 

"Bucky." I said through gritted teeth. My nerves were already shot, especially now that I was feet away from my house. I had told my parents that I was bringing my 'boyfriends' to meet them. Yes, boyfriends with an s at the end, which had led to a slew of questions that I didn't know how to answer. 

My mom, I wasn't to worried about. I already knew her reaction was not going to be a pleasant one. Our family was made up of devout Christians and I was pretty sure that my choice of men wasn't going to be accepted easily, if at all. 

My dad on the other hand. . . I was going to hate disappointing him. 

"Elizabeth. . ." Steve trailed off and then said, "You. . . I mean we can catch a plane back to New York." 

"Damnit you two." I growled as I pulled up in the driveway, parking it angrily. "Give me a little bit of confidence that this is going to go well. That would be a lot better." 

A text pinged on my phone as I sat there in the car. It was from Loki and it read

: ​🇪​​🇻​​🇪​​🇷​​🇾​​🇹​​🇭​​🇮​​🇳​​🇬​ ​🇮​​🇸​ ​🇬​​🇴​​🇮​​🇳​​🇬​ ​🇹​​🇴​ ​🇧​​🇪​ ​🇫​​🇮​​🇳​​🇪​ ​🇰​​🇮​​🇹​. ​🇯​​🇺​​🇸​​🇹​ ​🇧​​🇷​​🇪​​🇦​​🇹​​🇭​​🇪​

I took a deep breath and then got out of the car. Steve and Bucky got out with me, helping me with the suitcases and we walked up to the door. 

The house was a two story brick house with blue shutters and a matching door. A dead at the moment ornamental Japanese bush sat on one side of the sidewalk. Other dead plants lined the other side. It was definitely more beautiful in the spring and summer. 

It must've snowed, because there were still salt crystals on the pavement, though not an inch of snow could be seen anywhere. The weather was also warmer, with the sun beating down on us. 

I rang the doorbell, noticing the cute Christmas wreath on the front door. 

I could hear the door inside creaking open at someone walked through and my brothers' face appeared in the glass window. He opened the door and said, "Hey." 

"Hey." I replied back with a nervous smile. "Um, Paul, this is Steve and this is James." 

"Hi." Paul nodded to them and then said, "Come on in. Moms' been going ballistic." 

I cringed and then walked over the threshold, Bucky closing the door behind us. We moved into the living room, leaving the bags in the front hallway. My dad was sitting on the couch on the Laptop, looking at the Officer Tatum Report. He glanced over and said, "Hey Pumpkin." 

Well that was a bonus. 

"Hey dad." I said as he got up and came over, wrapping me in a huge hug, kissing the top of my head. Despite this feeling promising, I still waiting for his rebuke. I took the chance to introduce him however and he shook both of their hands silently, sizing them up. 

I could hear footsteps on the stairs now and I tensed, anxiety threatening to eat me up from the inside out. 

"Honey?" My mom called out before coming into view of the living room. 

"Hey mom." I said hesitantly, smiling a little. She gave me a severe look, though she pulled me into a hug. I wondered if she could feel my heart fluttering like a hummingbirds against her breast. 

"So these are your. . ." She drifted off, looking for the right word that would fit her views. "the  men you're dating?" 

"Uh, yes." I said. "Um, this is Steve and this is James." 

"Pleasure to meet you ma'am." Steve said seriously, holding out his hand, and when mom placed her hand in it, he kissed the back of it formally, which actually made her blush a little. I felt myself relax a little. Perhaps they'd charm their way into this. 

"Have you met my sons?" My mom asked, pointing her thumb over at the office door which was open. I could hear the sounds of my brothers using their keyboards furiously as they gamed. 

"We were introduced to Paul." Bucky finally spoke softly. "Although Elizabeth has told us much about both of her brothers." 

"Good." Mom said firmly. "I hope you understand though that you are not staying in my daughters bedroom?" 

Bucky smiled and Steve replied quickly. "Elizabeth already planned to show us to her favorite hotel." He gave me a sideways look, "Uh I think she called it. . . Great Wolf Lodge?" 

Mom rolled her eyes as I grinned. "We already made the cots up for you in the Solarium." 

"Thank you ma'am." Steve said again. 

"I hope you three are hungry, because dinner has already been made." Mom said, walking past us to go into the kitchen. 

"Very much so." Bucky said eagerly. 

"Boys! Set the table!" My dad shouted. And I hurried to help, hoping that everything was going to work out. 

ꨄ︎

My bedroom hadn't changed from when I'd left it. All of the walls were covered in gymnastics medals and ribbons, along with one or two posters. I smiled as I sat on the bed, which was still made- though the sheets and comforter had been washed- the stuffed animals were piled up on the pillow. 

My mom came into the room a few minutes later, turning the light back on as she sat on the edge of my bed, looking down at me. "Elizabeth, we need to talk about this." 

"Yeah, I know." I murmured, feeling the sick pit in my stomach. 

"I don't like what you're doing." She said flat out. "They are both very nice men, but you need to choose between the two of them. The other will understand and move on with his life and find himself another wife." 

I bit my tongue, not even wanting to bring up their sexuality. "I can't." I whispered. "I love both of them to much. It's. . . unconventional-" 

"It's sinful." My mom said firmly. 

My stomach did flips. Despite all of Lokis' assurances that everything would be okay, the idea of my God looking down at me and seeing this sin made me want to curl up in a ball and let death come for me. Heaven or Hell I didn't want to disappoint anyone, and I had always done my best not to be sinful, to be Christian, to be perfect and good in the eyes of God. 

And now, I'd failed. Big time. I had wrestled with this before, but once I was living with them, once I fell in love with them. . . when I was with them, I didn't worry about it so much. But they weren't here now. They were two floors down and I was in my bedroom, with my mom sitting on my bed like I was still seven years old. 

My body actually felt like hot flashes were going through them, a buzzing noise in my head, my vision blurry. I think I was actually having a panic attack, although I didn't move an inch or let her know. I couldn't let her know. 

I desperately needed them. But I couldn't say that. 

I had to make a choice. 

My phone buzzed again and I looked apologetically at my mom, but snatched the device up, grateful for the interruption. The buzzing noise was gone in my head at least, although something still held my heart in a painful grip. 

: ​🇮​ ​🇼​​🇮​​🇱​​🇱​ ​🇳​​🇴​​🇹​ ​🇱​​🇪​​🇹​ ​🇹​​🇭​​🇪​ ​🇷​​🇪​​🇱​​🇦​​🇹​​🇮​​🇴​​🇳​​🇸​​🇭​​🇮​​🇵​ ​🇬​​🇴​ ​🇧​​🇦​​🇩​​🇱​​🇾​ ​🇮​​🇫​ ​🇾​​🇴​​🇺​ ​🇫​​🇮​​🇬​​🇭​​🇹​ ​🇫​​🇴​​🇷​ ​🇮​​🇹​. ​🇧​​🇪​​🇱​​🇮​​🇪​​🇻​​🇪​ ​🇮​​🇳​ ​🇲​​🇪​ ​🇰​​🇮​​🇹​

I touched the cross that I was wearing around my neck in wonder, my hand shaking. 

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and both me and my mom looked up to see both of the soldiers in the doorway, worry on their faces. I quickly sat up and my mom set her mouth in a firm line. 

"Steve! Bucky! What are-" 

Bucky moved into the room slowly, kneeling beside the bed, completely ignoring my mom. He laced his metal fingers with mine and said softly. "I could feel your distress doll. I had to check on you." 

I let out a shaky breath, squeezing his hand. Steve hesitated, baby blue eyes flickering between my mom and me as he tried to figure out what he should do. I knew he had enormous respect for my parents and didn't want to cross a line. But he also wanted to comfort me, which in and of itself was a comfort to me already. 

And a sudden thought hit me, that hadn't hit me in a long time: Steve and Bucky were also Christian. How did they deal with it? 

"Mom, can I speak to the two of them privately please?" I whispered, swinging my legs around so that I was facing them better. 

Mom got up and said, "Five minutes," before leaving the room with the door wide open. I heard her go into her bedroom and then looked at the two of them. 

"What's wrong Princess?" Steve moved forwards now, sitting down next to me while Bucky continued to kneel before me. 

"How. . . how do you deal with this feeling?" I whispered. "This feeling of betraying God as a Christian? Not just for a polyamorous relationship but also. . . I mean, you know." I looked at them apologetically. "Being gay is a sin." 

Steve squeezed my knee, almost making me laugh as I was ticklish there, but I couldn't laugh when it felt like my heart was now in my throat. "It wasn't easy, the. . . acceptance at first." He said slowly. "And acceptance isn't the right word. We knew that if crossed that line, Heaven was off limits to us. And we both believed so faithfully that we tried not to do anything. We tried so damn hard." 

"We probably should've been stronger, especially for our time period." Bucky admitted. "But like all sinners, we gave in. And once we gave in. . . we never turned from our sin. And as. . . blasphemous as it is to say. . . I'm glad. I don't care. To be honest. . . the way I deal with it is that I just don't believe in him anymore." 

I cringed, half expecting lightning to come through the roof and strike him where he stands. Steve flinched just the tiniest bit as well. Bucky sighed and continued, "I know he exists. Thor even proved it. But I don't. . . look Steve and I can't die anyways. But Thor still asked Odin to set aside a special place for Steve and I so even if we do die. . . we go to a special section of Valhalla. The Norse Gods don't have the same qualms of same sex couples as Allah, as God, as Buddha, as Brahma. . . so I guess if you asked me, I believe in Thor, in Odin, in Frigga, in Heimdall, in Loki." 

Steve looked as shocked as I felt and Bucky looked apologetic. "Sorry Steve." 

Steve shook his head slightly. "I still believe in God, Elizabeth. I believe in him fervently. And if I were to die, and appear before him in Heaven, his judgement is his judgement. And while the thought of Hell frightens me, saddens me, even though I know that eternity is longer than this fleeting- no matter how many hundreds of years we may live- I cannot regret loving Bucky or you at the same time. And that makes me a very selfish, sinful creature." 

I had tears rolling down my face now. 

"And so we come to the crossroads." Steve said softly. "You can stay with us openly, you can pretend to break it off and be with us behind closed doors, you can leave us completely. We'll always love you, and I know you'll always love us. But it is your choice, based on your faith, your beliefs." 

"I love you." I whispered. "Even though I don't believe in this relationship. But. . ." I was going to choke. I was going to hate myself forever for giving in to the sin willingly. I almost wished they would kidnap me, force me to be theirs, that way I was sinning unwillingly. But that wasn't how this worked and I would have to choose a path of sin and love. . . or the other one. 

 '🇮​ ​🇼​​🇮​​🇱​​🇱​ ​🇳​​🇴​​🇹​ ​🇱​​🇪​​🇹​ ​🇹​​🇭​​🇪​ ​🇷​​🇪​​🇱​​🇦​​🇹​​🇮​​🇴​​🇳​​🇸​​🇭​​🇮​​🇵​ ​🇬​​🇴​ ​🇧​​🇦​​🇩​​🇱​​🇾​ ​🇮​​🇫​ ​🇾​​🇴​​🇺​ ​🇫​​🇮​​🇬​​🇭​​🇹​ ​🇫​​🇴​​🇷​ ​🇮​​🇹​. ​🇧​​🇪​​🇱​​🇮​​🇪​​🇻​​🇪​ ​🇮​​🇳​ ​🇲​​🇪​ ​🇰​​🇮​​🇹​' 

"I believe in Loki." I gasped in realization, and with those words, something broke inside of me. A fountain of tears, for my lost religion, for my new realization. I had sinned. 

And when I died, I would go to hell. 

But. . . I had my boys.

End With The Spring Fling

: Part 12 (Oscar's Version)

: The Spring Fling is finally here!

: Prev

: Series Masterlist

: Main Masterlist

: author's note: And with that Oscar’s Version is finally over! Can’t believe it was a 12 part series, feels much longer than that. Can’t wait for other versions to come 💕

…

It was finally the time everyone had been waiting for. It was time for the names to go live. There was a sense of nervousness in the air, several students looking towards each other, wondering who their match was going to be. The Head of the Department of Mass Communication made her way towards the stage with a mic in hand. "I'm sure you all are excited for the grand reveal?" she questioned as cheers erupted in the venue. "Before we get on with that, I would like to call someone to the stage. You see, without this person, you would not have this reveal tonight. So please put your hands together for Ms. Y/n L/n, the person who came up with this idea," the HoD said as she passed the mic to Y/n.

"Ahh, I was not expecting this at all," Y/n said as she let out a nervous laugh. "I don't even know where to begin. I am so glad for my friends, who had to deal with me during this; I know it wasn't easy, and I really appreciate you guys for being there for me," Y/n said while looking at Alex, Dylan, Daniel, and Pierre. 

"The truth is that none of this would have been possible without a certain someone's help. You see, I had no idea how to get the form up and running, and that is when my dear friend Daniel told me about this guy who can help. Let's just say the ride from that hadn't been the easiest at first, I'll admit, but over time it had become the best part of this entire project," Y/n said, smiling at the memories of her and Oscar. 

"But of course life doesn't always go your way, and I messed things up with him. So what I'm trying to say here is that, if you end up finding someone through this, I hope you hold onto that person. I hope you love them and cherish them the best you can. So enjoy your night, because the results are out," Y/n said as she got off the stage.

The entire hall was filled with excitement as people pulled out their phones to see who they got. Y/n made her way towards her group when she saw him standing in the middle of the dancefloor amongst the chaos.

"Oscar?" she said as she made her way towards him.

"Did you mean that?" he questioned.

"What?" she said.

"Did you mean what you just said up there?" Oscar asked again, with a sense of urgency in his voice.

"i-um" "Yes, I did, Oscar," Y/n finally said after overcoming the surprise of seeing him there. 

"I'm sorry I left yesterday. I just did not know what to say to you at that moment. God had I known that you felt the same, why would I have don-," Y/n was cut off by Oscar grabbing her face and kissing her.

"God! Why do you always have to talk so much?" Oscar asked before he leaned in again.

Y/n could hear hooting in the distance, and as she pulled away from Oscar, she turned to find the source of this being their friends, watching everything that had just happened. 

Clearing his throat, Oscar said, "They're never gonna let this go, are they?" "Oh yeah, be prepared," Y/n said, shaking her head, and the two joined the dancefloor.

"Fair warning, don't let Dylan intimidate you; he likes to give the dad talk to the guys I'm dating," Y/n said, cringing at the memory of said 'dad talks' that Dylan was so fond of.

"So we're dating then?" Oscar questioned, looking at Y/n, who looked a little flustered.

"I can leave if you'd like," Y/n said as she pulled away from him.

"Oh, hush you," Oscar said, pulling her even closer than before, slowly swaying the song that was playing in the background.

To the end of the line.

Captain America: the Winter Soldier, the Movie Poster We Should Have Gotten (Redbubble)

Inspiration and non-titled version below cut:

No title version:

This is my magnum opus! A GIANT photo manipulation of at least 12 source images, painstakingly taken apart and put back together in Photoshop. at one point this beast had over 80 layers! I am surprised my computer didn't crash!

Inspired by the Iron Man 3 and Thor: the Dark World posters wherein the love interest is posed like a Damsel in Distress.

Since Bucky IS CapSteve's damsel in all 3 movies!

^ my original digital sketch (featuring my FAVORITE Bucky drawing OF ALL TIME by @evankart!) and first attempt at a digital drawing using adobe illustrator (to be fair to 2021 me, I had been using illustrator less than a year at that point and would have just done it in Photoshop originally if it wasn't a project for one of my Graphic Design college classes) I used it for a magazine spread in my capstone (My paper was about queerbaiting in the MCU click to read on Ao3!) See the rest of the illustrations here!

When i saw the @catws-anniversary event, i KNEW I had to do it! Prompts: Devotion, Reunion, Schoolyard and battlefield, Favorite Stucky scene (missing scene lol)

Steve-Centric Stucky Fics: 5 Recs + 1 TBR

As promised, here is the rec list for Steve/Bucky fics with a focus on Steve-centric stories—all of them not EG-compliant, as requested. It's not quite as long as my usual rec lists for two reasons:

(1) I'm still sick and I can barely sit up straight, so please forgive the brevity of the list, and

(2) I deliberately wanted to include exclusively fics that were written in 2022 and 2023 to shine a spotlight on a few of the many wonderful writers and artists who are still creating absolutely fantastic works for the Stucky ship and who deserve to be read just as widely and passionately as older works in the fandom. Recency bias, but make it positive!

So without further ado, here are five Steve-centric Stucky recs and one more fic that I can't wait to get to:

1. say it soft and it's almost like praying by Somanywords | 41K, M

Author's summary: Natasha says, “Look, whatever the truth is about you, we have no way of really knowing the Winter Soldier's intentions. He’s not all there, he’s not who you remember. He’s a hot mess, Steve.”

“Why does everyone think that?” Steve says, and he’s nearly yelling, but not quite, because he doesn’t need to, not when they’re so close. “Why does everyone keep saying he’s a mess—have you seen me?" 

Post-CA:TWS canon divergent. I literally finished this fic about 15 minutes ago, so I haven't even left a comment yet. I'm still processing, you could say. The author tagged this with "just another post catws fic (but by me)"—and yes, that's what you get. All the usual ingredients are here, but the joy of TWS canon divergence is of course in the endless possibilities of how these well-known ingredients are used, re-arranged, and re-imagined as something new, exciting, and often much more satisfying than in canon. This fic excels at all three and is an absolute joy from start to finish.

2. Daybreak by BonkyBornes, art by PottersPink | 9K, NR

Author's summary: They called it project Rebirth because the person was supposed to be reborn, like a phoenix from the ashes. Steve was supposed to be the phoenix. He was supposed to rise from the ashes of his old body, he was supposed to leave behind his deafness and his limp and the scoliosis that bent his entire body to the left. He was supposed to leave behind everything that held him back.

In the end, the only thing that left was the only thing that mattered.

Shrinkyclinks canon-divergent AU. What if Project Rebirth didn't go right...but it didn't go entirely wrong either? A story about ghosts but not a ghost story. Or maybe something else entirely? Steve fights his body and time and the memories that keep haunting him. Beautifully written, with gorgeous art by PottersPink that perfectly complements the story.

3. Exhale by seapigeon, art by dudewhereismypie | 15K, M

Author's summary: After the Chitauri invasion, Steve parts ways with SHIELD, unsure if he can trust an agency that tried to deceive him and built weapons from the Tesseract.

He finds himself alone in an unfamiliar future, penniless, not even legally alive. Fortunately, he knows how to survive. Steve Rogers is used to getting by on his own.

The thing is, he doesn't have to.

Shrunkyclunks. Post-Avengers canon divergent. A fic that asks the question: What if, after the battle of New York, Steve had told SHIELD a polite but firm 'No'? Follow him as he strikes out on his own, finds an apartment, a job, and friends, figures out life in the 21st century...and of course falls in love!

4. Preberseeschießen by Ginny_Potter | 6K, T

Author's summary: Bucky breathes out and shoots. The bullet hits water… and there it is, the zapping sound of paper tearing.

The light turns on and off three times. Third circle. Just a lick out of bullseye. The Howlies explode in cheers.

Or, the Howling Commandos play a shooting game with the Austrian Resistance and Steve has lots of unresolved feelings about himself, his new body, and his changing relationship with Bucky. In other words, comrades are comrades, angst looms, and Steve feels.

Wartime fic. Would you like to read some excellent gay angst full of yearning and unresolved tension, peppered with interesting and wonderfully specific historical details and Howlies camaraderie? Would you like to get your heart crushed a little? Yes? Here you go. And if this makes you feel too sad by the end of it and you crave a bit of a happier resolution, just jump straight into a fistfull of dollars (5K, E) by the same author, which is not intended as a companion piece or even set in the same universe, but it works just as if it were. (Look at me sneaking in extra recs.)

5. Not In The Answer But The Question by aimmyarrowshigh, art by PottersPink | 27K, T

Author's summary: It rankles that his drink was made before he even got a chance to order it. What if he wanted a change? What if he were adventurous and bold? What if he tried something new?

---

Or, Steve Rogers shakes up his gray daily routine in 2014 by going back home to Vinegar Hill. To his surprise, the Jewish deli he used to frequent with Arnie is still standing.

And Steve's whole life changes again.

Shrunkyclunks. Post-Avengers canon divergent. A lost and lonely Steve tries to figure out who he was, is and most importantly, wants to be in this new century he's found himself in that is both terrifying and full of possibilities. Told in vignettes (I did not count, but I believe all of them are exactly 100 word drabbles) that perfectly illustrate the fragmented mind and life of its protagonist and his experience of constantly shifting and adjusting between past and present. A story about identity, memory, self-acceptance, and finding the courage to love and let yourself be loved. And food. So much amazing food!

+ 1 TBR: Operation: Gros Michel by SquadOfCats | 358K, E

Author's summary: “It starts with bananas. Of course, it's not really about the bananas. Just like a camel isn't bothered by one single straw, just like a dam doesn't break because of one extra drop. Obviously, Steve's mental breakdown isn't about bananas.”

Steve is overwhelmed and hanging by a thread, doing his best to take care of Bucky while still deeply traumatized himself. He finally has a breakdown over the stupidest of things: bananas. So Bucky takes care of him.

In which Steve learns to surf, Bucky becomes a gardener, and they both begin to heal.

Post-CA:TWS canon divergent. No, I did not make a mistake, the word count for this story really does come in at an impressive (or intimidating, you decide) 358,225 words! Which is the only reason why I haven't read it yet. I do want to make time for this asap because the snippets I've read so far were very intriguing and everything I've heard about it from people who have finished it, sounds absolutely amazing. So, this is the wild card pick!

Happy reading! <3

[taybay14]

This week is my first ever Stucky (or any Marvel/Bucky Barnes-related) event and I'm SO EXCITED to share my art/writing with all of you. First up is this lovely piece written by SquadOfCats for my art with Steve giving Bucky a bubble bath. This fic will both make you laugh and tug right at your heartstrings. The antics Bucky gets up to are lovely to witness - especially because it means he's being selfish/doing things to get what he secretly wants, and that makes me happy because Bucky Barnes deserves nice things. Give the fic a read - you won't be disappointed <3

“"I think platonic is the word. I think we don't see enough platonic, healthy, beautiful relationships between men in TV. And I think that is why that relationship was so beautiful and disarming to people, is because how often do you see two men being able to open up and actually speak about their feelings? And I think that that was something in that first episode, that Mobius was able to do really beautifully. He was basically saying, "I see you, I see the pain that you're in. I see the bad things that you did. That's ok. I'm not judging. Let's talk and find a way to you becoming the best version of yourself," and I think that was exciting." — Loki Exec. Producer on Lokius ship

the amount of no-homo-ing marvel studios does w/ every project is beyond me 😭 the “can’t we see healthy friendships” excuse only works so many times guys (did this w/ stucky, sambucky, carolmaria, etc)

"we don't see enough platonic, healthy, beautiful relationships between men in tv" AS IF MARVEL HASN'T BEEN RUINING EVERY SINGLE PLATONIC HEALTHY BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP THEY CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON SO PPL DON'T CALL THEM GAY...................................................speechless

Posting Schedule: June 2024

Hello, let us return to something kinder than the insanity of the last two months. The word counts for the anniversary project updates in April and May weren't all that different from my usual monthly counts, but posting 8 stories a month sure was...an experience. One I enjoyed a lot! But not one I'd like to repeat.

June 06–10: Chapter 1/7 of for granted, in vain, i took everything i ever cared about

Part 3 of there's a lover in the story (but the story's still the same)

JJK; goyuu. Satoru navigates the aftermath of an accidental deaging incident that led to his own teen self romancing and bedding his favorite student.

June 11–15: Chapter 3/6 of found my dulcinea (but i don’t remember when)

MCU; stucky. Extreme canon divergence future fic featuring a long-lived Bucky as Captain America, who meets his match in a vampire bar.

June 16–20: Chapter 3/9 of everything burned, as promised

JJK; goyuu. Post-236, Satoru travels back in time with the intention of stopping Kenjaku and Sukuna by any means necessary, and Yuuji’s raised like a lamb to the slaughter.

June 21–25: Chapter 8/18 of (let me be clear) every version of the story ends with you being slaughtered

JJK; goyuu. Yuuji chooses a different hell at the crematorium, and Satoru decides that kidnapping him is a reasonable response. It escalates in all kinds of ways.

June 26–30: Chapter 1/5 of your resistance, prophetic self-destruction

JJK; goyuu and chosoita. When Yuuji's injuries don't heal in the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident, Chōsō offers his own blood and flesh as remedies. Meanwhile, Satoru haunts the narrative—and Yuuji.

As you can see, I've mixed up my WIP list, mainly by adding the Incest Vore fic into the mix. I've been sitting on it for long enough, and with Chōsō's fate being what it is, I figured I should speed things up and post. Plus, I want to clear my backlog more quickly.

[alouiadina]

Marvel/X-men high school au

So, I've had this idea for a while, and Deadpool & Wolverine reminded me that I had this idea, which I have been nervous to share. It's a Cherik no powers crossover

It starts with the aftermath of the a car crash which resulted death of Erik's wife Magda and their youngest, Nina. (As an aside, Pietro and Wanda are also their kids, and Peter is Erik's from a previous relationship, either a marriage or college one-night stand that ended in pregnancy). A couple months or maybe a year after their deaths, Wanda and Pietro get accepted into the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters (which is a stem school in this universe) and Peter accepts a student-teaching (where a college student shadows a teacher) position there as well because he maybe feels guilt over not spending enough time with Nina when she was alive, so he accepts it so that he's able to spend time with twins. Or maybe he blames himself for her death or something.

Erik experience trepidation over sending, as he and Charles have a history. They dated in high school, then one day Charles left, leaving nothing, not even a note. So, when they meet during the welcome new parents and students meeting, he's surprised to see Charles there, not because he wasn't expecting him, but because he's in a wheelchair. They keep running into each other, maybe with some influence from Erik's kids as well as maybe Mistique.

For Peter's part of the story, he's under the tutelage of Logan, who teaches history. He's mostly professional, but he's also a little shit. Like, with seating charts, he takes note over who he thinks has a crush on who, and sits them next to each other. Or, the fact that he notices how he wants to project how one Wade Wilson annoys him to death, but only to hide that he secretly likes his attention. Peter tries to parent trap them, along with parent trapping Erik and Charles with some help.

Wanda and Pietro's part of the story is parent trapping their dad and principal, (at least) two of their teachers, as well as some of their friends, as well as each other (or at least just Pietro to Wanda) and maybe Peter too because maybe there is another student-teacher there.

other ships could include the thruce, lokius or Theo/Loki (maybe a love triangle there, idk), ironstrange, stucky. For X-men, like maybe Jean/Scott, maybe Kurt/Warren, or anything... dealers choice really. Maybe it could be in one story, or it could be like my no homophobia au. One fanfic per storyline, or whatever.

Hi, again. 👋

I found the post you were talking about. The stan's account was deactivated, but yeesh. 😬 Nice replies to them, btw.

The stan that bashed on me said I was being misogynistic, even though I'm a black woman who just wanted to see another black character get their chance to shine.

Hell, it's not just the shows and movies (I think this all started with Endgame). It's also the Steve Rogers musical too. I don't know if you know about it, but Disney made the musical real, and it really did Sam and Bucky dirty.

Sam isn't even in it. Maybe he was mentioned once, but the musical showed an image of Sam as Captain America. As for Bucky, his scene from CA:TFA, where he saved pre-serum Steve, was given to Peggy instead. Bucky was mentioned once, and the musical tried to justify Steve's ending from Endgame. All for this ship.

And, frankly, I don't hate Peggy, I'm just more annoyed that other characters get shoved aside as well as this great dynamic that Steve and Bucky had, while she and her ship with Steve has been getting propped up more and more. But, seeing some of your and the others' posts, I get why you guys don't like her.

Girl, don’t get me started on the abomination that was Rogers the musical. It could have been glorious, it had so much potential, but once again Bucky’s role in Steve’s story was given to Peggy, and Sam wasn’t even there!

I feel like Marvel feels the need to tone down Stucky or their friendship overall because it was just too powerful. We all remember the hashtag that begged Marvel to make Stucky Canon, #givecaptainamericaaboyfriend. They just couldn’t let it happen, not to a main and important character like Steve, god forbid. And so ever since civil war Stucky has always had little to no scenes together no matter how well established it was in previous projects. All their scenes and dynamic were given to Peggy, their friendship was toned down, Steve’s whole ending happened. It just feels like Stucky is so menacing to Marvel that the only way to stop us is by destroying Steve, Bucky and their relationship.

I mean, Steve is given no justice in his ending and in all the other projects he appeared in. Bucky went from a victim and prisoner of war to someone who must make amends for things that were beyond his control. And the depth of their friendship was toned down and reduced every time Peggy was involved. And then they wonder why many people in the fandom dislike Peggy or why the whole Rogers the musical initiative flopped the second it went beyond Hawkeye.

Like, even if you don’t ship Stucky you can tell that they care for each other, and you can tell there was a shift after people actually wanted Marvel to take action and do something about this dynamic. Steve can’t get even one episode as his own character because Peggy must be there. Bucky had more luck, but still… and let’s not even talk about Sam, his only appearance was as a zombie!

In another post of mine I ranted about how bothered I was that Peggy was inserted in the 1602 storyline, and i haven’t changed my mind. It would have been so nice to give Steve one episode about himself, about his dynamic with his best friend and about the relationship with himself and his fellow avengers. But no, Peggy must be there too, and for no good reason as well.

I feel like Marvel trying to erase pre-existing relationships to have Peggy shine only results in fans turning their back on Marvel and hiding in fanfiction or whatever piece of media that can actually bring justice to the characters. Once someone on Tumblr said “you gave us the characters, but once you mess them up they’re not yours anymore. You don’t understand and respect them, therefore you don’t deserve them.” and I couldn’t agree more, which is why I am currently reading and writing fanfiction rather than buying into everything marvel gives us.

Peggy was the love interest with more screen time even before what if and all that jazz, she had her own show! And I fear that the day Marvel will realize that pushing a reimagined Nazi turned Mary Sue into every single what if episode where she can fit instead of enhancing the characters that are actually relevant in-universe it will be too late.

Sorry about the rant, I get carried away when it’s about my boys lol

Creativity. My beloathed.

My next fanfiction project was Ipseity by @skyisgray. If you ever where in the Stucky Fandom, you've probably already read this. And if not you should go do that!

I don't want to spoiler to much, but it is very Bucky-centric and follows him through his time with Hydra and how he copes with all the awfulness. It has some very compelling original characters and some lines and events occupy my thoughts even years after reading it. I cried sooo much while reading this. Eventually there is some Stucky which is also really heartrending and the entire story keeps you on the tips of your toes. Go read it, it's so beautiful.

I tried to keep with the very dark themes of the story and make the design stark and stern. But I also wanted it to be pretty and I'm a sucker for cursive so there's that.

It was also the first real project I tried the marbled edges with.

It bleed a little inside, though.

I really struggle with ingenious designs. On here are so many pretty creations and mine always leave me a little dissatisfied. This was an attempt to go a little beyond my comfort zone. I used different types of foil and some decorative elements. The picture on the first page exists also due to this.

You can't really see it, but the circles are holographic!

Some more pictures from my progress with the endbands:

Peter is teleported to Gotham after the events of NWH. A vague smooshing of Tom Holland Spider-Man and the Peter Parker from the most recent Spider-Man games.

So I've never really written a fic like this before, I've never really been a Marvel girly outside of like, being a Stucky shipper. But after stumbling across a few Peter Parker in Gotham fics, I thought I'd try my hand at it. I'd really appreciate it if I could get some feedback on it. It's going to have all the self-indulgent tropes, because that's what I enjoy writing, just to warn you straight off if that's not your cup of tea.

Small excerpt from the fic:

But instead of stepping through a portal normally, like Peter would have thought, he found himself suddenly submerged in water. Though, it might not have been water at all, considering it was glowing bright green, burned slightly against his skin and felt much heavier than regular water. Peter swam as hard as he could, trying to reach the top, as his chest burned at the sudden lack of oxygen. After some struggle, given the weight of his clothing and his go-bag, he finally made it, breaching the surface of the pool, gasping for breath. Normally, he could hold his breath for quite some time because of the spider bite. But it only worked if he knew to take a deep breath in the first place. 

Peter flopped onto the hard stone ground beside the pool of glowing water, the room or cave really, was illuminated by green light emanating from the pool. There looked to be torches around the cave that had long since burned out. They didn’t look like they’d been lit in hundreds of years. Groaning as he stumbled to his feet, dragging his now waterlogged gym bag with him, Peter tried to take stock of himself. He was dripping wet, obviously, but something else felt… odd. 

He wasn’t wearing his Iron Spider suit, and his under clothes seemed to be hanging off him, as if several sizes too big. He looked down and quickly examined his body. He was much smaller than he remembered being, that was for sure. He walked back to the pool, just to try and check out his reflection, and saw his thirteen-year-old self reflected back at him, sans the dorky glasses and haircut. The year he had been bitten by the spider that altered his DNA and gave him his enhanced abilities. He swallowed harshly, his gaze barely registering a weird white streak in his fringe, and stepped away from the pool.

Consider:

A modern stucky pairing acting on out a humiliation scene that involves public speaking. Like, yes, this is crack, but treat it seriously with me for a moment...

Bucky sets up the scene complete with a presentation projected onto a blank wall at their local dungeon and an audience of their fellow kinksters--in this scene, big sub Steve has to speak about what turns him on. There are pictures of him engaging in these activities, each more and more exposing, and charts (that may or may not just be bullshit, random numbers) comparing each kinky activity to the others, ranking how hot they were and how much he enjoyed it, taking into account how deep he went into subspace, how many times he orgasmed, how long the marks and/or soreness lasted (if there was any), etc.

Throughout the scene, every time Steve says the word, "uh," "um," or otherwise stutters, and each time he breaks eye contact from the audience--looking down at the floor, staring at the presentation for too long, whatever--he has to remove an item of clothing. He starts out fully clothed, not totally inappropriate to go out into the real world in, just suggestive, tight, leave-nothing-to-the-imagination pants, a nice shirt, a jacket, and a collar, but as the layers are stripped away, it becomes more and more inappropriate. Steve is blushing more and more, the flush spreading rapidly from just spots of color high on his cheeks to all the way down his chest and belly. Eventually, when Steve is stripped totally bare, that's when the whispers start...

Under his stuttering, choked-with-embarrassment words, there are currents of people commenting on, aw, would you look at that, he's blushing so much! Or, he's quite the freak, isn't he? He gets off on that? All of that? Or, really, that's hot to him? Huh. Or, oh, cute, look at how hard his little dick is from all this! He's just talking about it, and he's throbbing! Or, God, look at how badly he's blushing, poor thing! Or, at least, he's embarrassed about all this... he really should be.

Steve wants to explode. He wants to cry. He wants to touch himself.

Really, fuck, he wants Bucky to stand from where he's reclined cooly in his chair, happily watching the squirming, blushing, stammering show with a grin painted sadistically across his handsome face, prowl toward him from the crowd, and come to a stop, towering over him in front of all these people. He wants the bigger, thicker man to put a hand around the back of his neck, barely having to scruff him before he crumbles, weak at the knees.

He wants Bucky's touch to make his ears ring, so he drowns out all of the voices. But either way, Steve knows they're talking about him, they're talking about his cock, they're talking about how needy he is, about turned on he is, about how freaky he is, how weird, and, and--

Slowly, Steve realizes that he has stopped talking completely.

Bucky clears his throat amongst the looming silence, his smirk only widening. Bastard.

Someone laughs when Steve fails to do anything but stand in place, helpless and, surely, looking spacy and dumb.

Then, suddenly, everyone is chuckling at him, some people more shameless than others--all out laughing or snickering softly.

And, oh, it's all Steve can do to stay standing against the wave of mortification and shame that crashes into him. Against the torrent of rushing, sharp pleasure, he doesn't have enough time to even bite his lip to stifle the pathetic whimper that gets punched from deep in his gut. His eyes want to roll back into his head, it's so fucking embarrassing.

His little sound makes them all laugh more. Laughing at him.

Steve's eyes water, he's really going to cry. Or, shit, oh, God, with a full-body shiver, Steve realizes that he's about to cum.

How long has he been dripping for? Standing in front of this crowd, red enough to imitate a stop sigh from his head all the way down to his belly, squirming from foot to foot, squeezing his thighs together like he has to piss but doesn't have permission to go, stuttering over every word no matter how easy or simple, panting because he just can't keep air in his lungs, palms sweaty, and dripping onto the floor? Jesus Christ. He's a mess.

[luna-rainbow]

I'm sorry if this is an odd question. I'm new to the Steve/Bucky fandom and only recently started reading fics relating to them. How come most fics tend to favor Peggy and write her to be a sympathetic character? Most of the fandom that I've interacted with agree that Peggy isn't a good person (SHIELD and Hydra as well as her behavior with Steve in CFA) and wouldn't be a good match for Steve. I've loved all the fics for the love b/w Steve/Bucky but the sympathetic writing of Peggy has irked me

Thanks for the ask!

I came into fandom pretty late so I missed a lot of that, but I’m told Peggy has always been pretty popular in the Stucky fandom.

I think her popularity comes from a number of reasons — 1) lack of other female characters at the time, 2) easy to project onto, 3) a reluctance to tackle her negative traits.

At the time when Stucky’s popularity exploded, there weren’t a lot of female characters in the MCU. There were Pepper and Jane, both of whom were passive watchers and “civilian counterparts” to the main character's heroic enterprise. Peggy was a rare Phase 1 love interest that seemed to be present and at least somewhat handy with a gun. People were more forgiving of unfavourable character moments — and just coming from the movies alone, you could bend the narrative to ignore most of those unfavourable moments.

Which leads me to the second point, which I think is the most important one. The vagueness with which Peggy is written makes her an incredibly useful “blank” character to project onto. Firstly, her mannerisms are forceful and assertive, and the superhero genre target audience is one who likes to watch things being resolved by fights. As I said above, at the time there really isn't any other female character (apart from Nat) for the female audience who likes action heroes. Secondly, Peggy and Nat form the madonna-whore dichotomy (especially with Whedon’s characterisation), and a lot of people would prefer to project onto the fandom madonna than the whore. Thirdly, she has very little character traits within the movies apart from “strong-willed” and maybe “ambitious”, which gives a lot of flexibility to how writers can play with her character. Fourth, the fact that her appearances in the movies only ever occur in Steve’s company (except the later cameos) gives a misattribution of narrative proximity, with a lot of fans believing (especially if they haven’t revisited the source in years) that she was a more important narrative force than she actually was. But that same narrative proximity is appealing if you want to project onto a female character who can participate in Steve’s adventures and you don’t like Nat or Sharon or an OC.

And the third point I think is the trickiest part. Does fandom misogyny exist? Of course it does, especially in the MCU. But misogyny is also flung around as an accusation against fans who make genuine critiques of a character or want to write a nuanced female character that acknowledges her negative traits. Someone once dumped a 1500 word rant in my comments because I omitted Peggy from a Stucky meta, so you can imagine how much her rabid fans would arc up if you are actually critical.

Besides, writing a nuanced character takes effort and planning and a lot of hard work. I know for myself unless I plan to tackle Peggy as a fully-fledged character, I'd either omit her from the story or give her a very minor role that is not overtly critical, because it's just not worth the effort of the argument in the notes.
