“These City Walls” by TessaBennet on Ao3

This series is absolutely beautiful, I definitely plan on drawing more from it! But for now, I wanted to start at the beginning, the very first chapter!

@tessabennet is incredibly talented, every chapter has me hooked and it’s so bittersweet to see the story finally come to a close and see a happy ending piece together.

I hope it did this scene justice, I got a little lazy with the second parts background but that’s okay! Anyway, if you haven’t read this story DO IT! And if you don’t know who Sarah rogers is-BOOO!

podfic #24 [ ⛔ ]

ao3! [podfic] These City Walls by TessaBennet alternate: archive.org media player time commitment: about 2.5 hr currently [3 of 30 ch recorded] fic details:

These City Walls (88296 words) by TessaBennet. @tessabennet Chapters: 30/30

Additional Tags: Pre-Captain America: The First Avenger, Mutual Pining, Brooklyn, Childhood Friends, Falling In Love, Slow Burn, in fact, “the literal slowest burn of stucky as they go through their entire lives as pining idiots in love”, or so I'm told, Idiots in Love, Bisexual Bucky Barnes, Bisexual Steve Rogers, the barnes family, which I had a whole lot of fun with ngl, chapter specific warnings where necessary, the boys had a life and a family before the war, the sweetest part is the torture before they get together, and this fic is the literary embodiment of the grinning devil emoji

Summary: Before there was Captain America, before there was even a war, there were two idiots in Brooklyn, just getting by every day, living a life, trying very hard not to let it show that they had, as a matter of fact, fallen in love with each other.

thanks for the tag, @tessabennet!! glad to be finally be getting to it :)

3 fic favorites that I reread recently because they are THAT good:

🌈 make progress together by frankoceansmoonriver @dykeromanroy stevebucky | 24k | complete Author's summary:

He feels like Steve’s mistress. He feels hollowed out. He feels like a jammed gun still trying to go off. When he’s not with Steve he convinces himself he’s ruining Steve’s life, and though he tries, he’s too selfish to stop. When he’s with Steve, he’d fight God himself to keep it, this tangible perfection that makes him drunk and anchors him in ways he did not know existed. Or, the one where they both survived the war, Bucky loves Steve now, has loved Steve since he was fifteen, and the year is 1945.

🌈 honey don't feed it, it will come back by thedoubteriswise @thedoubteriswise stevebucky | 18k | complete

Author's summary:

He lets out a long sigh and watches Bucky. Back home he was always too vain to let more than a day’s worth of stubble build up, but now he’s got about three days of scruff on his chin. He shouldn’t look handsome like this. His eyes are shut, but Steve can tell by his breathing that he’s still awake. The cat is curled up on his stomach and purring like an idling motor. “He’s actually pretty cute.” Bucky smiles softly, too sleepy to make whole faces. “Damn right,” he hums. He’s stroking the cat’s fur, which is soft and fine now that it’s clean. He looks so open and inviting. Steve doesn’t close his eyes, watching Bucky’s gentle fingers and trying to come up with a plausible excuse to go touch him.

🌈 save the undone years by Whitherward @whatanybodygets kanej | 37k | complete

Author's summary:

He’s like all the others, when they bring him in. More than half dead, covered in mud. Leg almost hanging off him, just a mess of torn flesh and exposed bone. Likely won’t survive. God knows Inej has seen better off than him succumb to their injuries. Northern France, 1917. In a battlefield hospital, Corporal Kaz Rietveld lies gravely wounded. His nurse is determined that he will not be another thing she loses to this war.

i love how good i am with languages in general, not only my own native tongue but also the ease i have in learning new languages, it fascinates me

this may be a little pretentious but basically everyone i meet says that i give off the vibe that i'm very smart and i love that lol. like, i can't promise that i am in fact that smart lol, but i love that that's the impression i give off

i love my sense of taste!! especially in music and in fashion. i love that i love rock n roll and indie, like i love that i came with those genes lol. i love the silly little oufits i put together, i love my aesthetic, you know?

life sucks but it's also so so funny. i love my sense of humor, i'm Always laughing at everything. if there's something that i hate it's serious people, i have such a hard time taking things seriously, there's always humor in every situation! idk if i'd describe myself as a Happy person, that's a loaded subject lol, but boy do i think i'm funny. do i think the world around me is funny

Oh, Death

Oh, Death

Oh, Death

Won't you spare me over another year?

But what is this that I can't see

With ice cold hands taking hold of me?

When God is gone and the Devil takes hold

Who will have mercy on your soul?

Oh, Death

Oh, Death

Oh, Death

Oh, Death

No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold

Nothing satisfies me but your soul

Oh, Death

Well I am Death, none can excel

I'll open the door to heaven or hell

Oh, Death

Oh, Death

My name is Death and the end is here...

🌹💛🌹

Thanks for the ask, Tessa!

The young guy next to him didn’t turn, but said, “It’s gonna be a good year, I can feel it.” Instead of picking a pointless fight and saying that he hoped the Yankees dropped dead that year, Steve took the words literally, and answered, “I hope so.”

1 🌹 = 1 sentence from a WIP!

@tessabennet tagged me earlier today, thank you!

Last song: Bridge over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel

Currently reading: nothing... I wanna finally read through the Earthsea books by Ursula K. Le Guin though, been meaning to do that for ages!

Currently watching: last TV show I watched was Ahsoka, but I'm also watching Dimension 20 - Burrow's End! Very good!

Current obsession: TTRPG design, and just learning from games besides D&D on what you can do and how to do it best... Also my BA thesis, which is a bit too heavy to discuss right now (and I'm in the process of doing a preliminary reading of the literature), but that is on my mind almost constantly

No pressure, but I'm tagging @acidmatze, @katecaru, @gaymelie, @banashee, and @lordwhatfoolsthismortalsbe

[somanywords]

Omg that sounds amazing!!! How awesome to see even some of them, I'm insanely jealous! How wonderful to party with people who're all so excited about the same things :D

omg how WAS your six of crows event??? if you want to share?

Sure I want to shamelessly brag about this! It was at a convention this last weekend, just an hour away from where I live. Not all the crows were there, sadly, but I got to meet Freddy, Amita, Cal, and Kit. And Ben Barnes was there too (though just for saturday and not for the whole weekend), and Patrick Gibson, and Anna Leong Brophy (Tamar). Oh and Dean Lennox Kelly (Pecca).

They're all such sweethearts, like their individual panels were amazing and then the group one was *hilarious*. Dean and Kit joined the fan party on saturday, it was insane and sooo much fun. Kit was on stage with the dj at one point during the party and then bought a round of drinks for some fans. Poor Freddy had lost his voice by sunday. Paddy did a magic trick on stage at the closing ceremony. It was all so wild, I loved every second of it 😅

Here, have a video (credit to my dearest sister @mskatharinak, who insisted she get the credit):

[somanywords]

I'm a bit late but here you go: 🌹💛

never too late, tessa! thanks for the ask <3

“Fuck Hoover and fuck you too,” Bucky says, and when Steve comes out of the bathroom, throws a roll of bandages at him. “And be thankful that wasn’t a grenade.”

Every 🌹 is a sentence from a wip!
