I can’t rightly call this a masterlist, as I was only able to fill one prompt from my Round 4 @stuckybingo card, but I thought I’d leave it here anyways, as a reminder to myself and in the hopes that I’ll have better luck with writer’s block next time 💖
to have, to hold
Prompt: I4 - Reunion, card R4077
Pairing: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes
Rating: T
Wordcount: 2303
Additional tags: Missing scene, Reunited and it feels so good, Stucky in Wakanda, bearded!Steve Rogers, post-CACW, feels feels feels
His mouth curls up slow. “You got bristles now, sweetheart.”
Steve exhales a shaky breath. “Thought I’d try something new,” he says, his voice thin, and wet, fragile like a bird bone. It cracks easily under the pressure of unshed tears, and Bucky can see them shimmering right there in his beautiful eyes. Let them out, he wants to tell Steve, while their world is still whole, please let it stay whole for a few hours more. Give them all to me. We can share the load.
When Bucky wakes from his cryo-sleep, Steve is there to welcome him back.

Summary:
Luisa is a heartfelt person, a loving sister, someone kind and sweet - truly, a miracle. What Luisa is not, however, is someone who understands how to take time for herself.
Her family, spearheaded by the king of killing time (and, on one regrettable occasion, an unfortunate goldfish), set out to help her fix that.
A series for Encantober.
It's finally up! 🙌 Who's ready for Encantober y'all?

It's also really frustrating that I spent my whole childhood and teenage years being dehumanized, having my peers joke about keeping me as a pet and toying with/manipulating me for fun or bringing me places with them like I'm an accessory and not their friend and literally being called a tool and an object by the adults in my life but when this had long lasting effects on how I viewed myself/what I related to and also how I could only view my place in relationships (of any kind) as being one of subservience like I can have all of the problems that come with that
But when I expressed that in any way, when I connect with media where people are dehumanized/objectified/enslaved etc, when I acknowledge that pain the main response I get is people calling me a freak, trying to force me into kink spaces surrounding my trauma, sexualizing me and then punishing me for that, etc.
Like idk I think it says more about the people saying this shit than it does about me but I've been made to feel like such a goddamn creep for having regular ass trauma symptoms that my OCD over it is insane and it really sucks how much I've been taught to be ashamed of myself for not just repressing all of my trauma (and the even more on the nose exotrauma my brain pulled in to cope with this shit) and how I've had to try and make myself as small as possible in survivor spaces lest I make anyone uncomfortable with my existence
Like idk what if y'all let me live my life actually/nbh

i think the thing that gets to me most about nankidai’s writing is the lack of confidence in some aspects for his story/characterizations to shine through, to the extent he overcompensates. prior to the ministories, it’s shown most in how reko’s doll is overly emphasized as being out of place.
but usually, he’s really good about being subtle!!! with joe being more clever than he typically lets on (and in the death game, letting his cheery attitude drop once he’s out of sight of sara), the tension between alice and reko not being exaggerated and we can see where reko’s torn, with keiji’s slow appreciation for sara over the course of the game, etc.! and actually, speaking of ch2 + regarding the satous, their role in the story is intentionally in the background by nature of their role as the ‘in-between’ asunaro and casual life (most prominent with kai; though it also shows up with gashu who is - for the most part - more 'normal’ compared to the other floormasters while still maintaining his menacing role. this is something i deeply appreciate in contrast to the other floormasters - it presents a different, and arguably more terrifying, aspect)
but with the ministories in play... i do feel like sei would be better off if he were involved solely with kai, rather than directly with gashu. i’ve stated my issues with how sei’s existent feels redundant with the dichotomy of kai and ranger already in play, though he remains a deeply important character to kai himself and should not be removed entirely. (but that is not the point of the post atm)
see, it’s already heavily implied / outright stated that ranger and kai are meant to resemble and contrast one another.
- with ranger’s referring to gashu as “dad” (contrast to kai’s “father”)
- shin’s wondering if rio was meant to be a successor (sara’s comment of “in place of a son?”)
- rio’s inferiority despite fulfilling what kai states he never could; the two on opposite sides of what gashu wanted (kai’s unwavering commitment (unfortunately, to human life) versus ranger’s utter disregard for human life (with only gashu as the exception))
- and these are just listed off the top of my head, as i’m. very tired lol :P
we already had an established unknown dynamic between rio and kai - through gashu! as his creation/son respectively.
with sei’s involvement as gashu’s other apprentice, it seems to take away from the parallels we already had with gashu’s established children - specifically in kai’s case. there are no longer any messy strings left behind with kai and gashu under this lens, as gashu has completely moved over to the other apprentice he once took on instead. which honestly feels very unrealistic for how close they once were and how gashu justifies how he treated kai after being told only ‘one’ could survive after the assassin’s trial - out of a desire for kai’s survival, not only for his ‘potential’ but out of his own... clear ‘love’ for his family. this became a necessity.
sei physically resembling ranger could’ve simply been a case of being the next-best survivor of the assassin’s trial, who still met his end by another’s blade because of how much he cared for kai (who could’ve been training with him, where they earned their friendship; both were waiting on the instructors to report back to each house, rather than gashu specifically), and gashu saw that as the reason for both kai and sei’s failures. if kai was never a factor in sei’s life, would he be the assassin asunaro sought out...? <- that sort of thing
though, honestly, i don’t think sei needed to tie in with any current timeline-relevant character at all!! (esp as it was never implied in the main game). ranger’s design can stand on its own, and sei’s effect on kai wouldn’t be lessened if he didn’t resemble rio. tying ranger into the past seems to overcomplicate what was already implied beforehand regarding gashu’s difficult feelings toward his family (wishing to keep his child by his side, even in replica) versus asunaro (the intense faith he holds in its ideals, to the point of committing suicide to retain the purity of the death game) and how he both resents and wonders where he went wrong with kai for him to be unable to kill anyone else or complete asunaro’s objectives, where all other assassins would’ve in its name. he was searching out a replacement for kai - that is all we’re given in-game, and that’s honestly all we need to know for ranger’s existence to make sense and have a deeper meaning than just being a malicious floormaster! he is underdeveloped, and that is the intention of his character; he was always meant to be in the shadow of the child he was based upon, the one who gashu truly cared for.
...in any case, it’s an issue solely with the ministories in general! i feel like nankidai did wonderfully with enhancing dynamics we were already aware of and adding in characters that could have a lot of potential on how they influence the yttd cast’s lives (ie. ryuu, sei, and more solid characterization for ursheen/stronghold!) and i absolutely adored the alice & reko events!!! the subtle references to how much reko cared about alice to set up a ‘secret hideout’ just for the two of them, still taking the time to explain music things he didn’t quite understand (and in turn, also trying to pretend she didn’t know as much about piano as she did so she had more time to hang out with him), etc etc - it’s heartbreaking seeing how coldly they regard each other in present day by contrast! with that small set up of just how their personalities/desires began to clash and leaving the rest to be assumed from there. reko & alice’s is by far my favorite of the ministories, though i do appreciate what nankidai is trying to convey with the others... i just wish he weren’t so overt with kai’s :’]

68 [ mitch to louis! ]
#𝟔𝟖: "𝑺𝑻𝒀𝑳𝑬" - 𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒍𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒘𝒊𝒇𝒕 / 𝚂𝙿𝙾𝚃𝙸𝙵𝚈 𝚆𝚁𝙰𝙿𝙿𝙴𝙳 !
to say that he and mitch have a bit of a…tumultuous relationship is an understatement. they have their ups and downs and ons and offs, but somehow ( probably from weakness on both of their ends ), they always wind up right back where they left off. they can never seem to truly leave each other alone. louis would be amiss to deny that he’s enamored by mitch’s freckles and minty green eyes—eyes so intense that they make every hair on louis’ body stand on end when mitch gazes into his eyes. it’s those same intensely green eyes that make louis weak in the knees and could get him to do just about anything. it’s a fault of his, and he knows it, but when put in that situation, it’s hard for louis to deny mitch anything.
so, when mitch comes crawling back after their last big fight, louis tries to turn him away—he does good at first, but eventually, mitch has him worn down, and he caves. he can practically see the eye rolls of their friends when they find out that they are, indeed, back together.
“ i should just tell you to leave, ” louis sighs, hands gripping at mitch’s broad shoulders as he gazes up at him. “ 'cause i know exactly where it leads, but i watch us go 'round and 'round each time… ”
it truly is, entirely, a fault of louis’ that he’ll always take mitch back and he knows it.
