Winterhawkhood-tober-eve

Tomorrow is the big day to start the big month!

To set the mood and hopefully help inspire, we wanted to share links to the 28 current AO3 tagged Jason/Clint/Bucky works!

Check them out, kudos/comment/bookmark, boost, and get ready for - hopefully - dozens more!

(make my love) like a circle by @flowerparrish, rated T:

"You're not a barista because you're gay," Bucky says, speaking just a moment before his hand drops down onto Clint's shoulder and squeezes once. He nudges Clint away from where he's apparently been mumbling aloud to the espresso machine, beginning to deftly prepare a cappuccino with one hand quicker than Clint could have with two.

He's beauty, he's grace, and Clint wants to kiss his face.

The podfic! also by the amazing @flowerparrish

another the podfic! by @yuurei

Get Into Your Slide by @bittercape, rated E:

“Jay,” Bucky says. He can hear the steely undertone in his own voice. So can Clint, judging by the way his shoulders tense. Jason looks up, eyes dark and mouth slack and wet. “Make him beg.”

Jason grins, wide and feral.

“My pleasure,” he says.

oddly good to hurt by @flowerparrish, rated T:

He’d kind of assumed they’d ignore his non-responsiveness until he was better, but apparently not. It took Jason a long, head-achy moment to focus on the words in Clint’s last text, but he seemed downright worried.

Now Jason felt shitty, but at least he felt a different kind of shitty? Yay for variety.

[podfic of] oddly good to hurt podfic by @kbirbpods

getting you off is my new favourite hobby by @veryrach, rated E:

A series of drabbles for Kinktober.

the mortifying ordeal of being known by @flowerparrish,rated T:

Bucky makes another confused noise.

There's no point in keeping silent now, so Clint explains, “Nat made me shorts that say ‘call me buir’ika’ on them for Christmas last year and I wore them in front of Jason once."

“I’m just doing what they say,” Jason points out. Like an asshole.

“Why?” Clint groans.

“Because you’re cute when you blush,” Bucky tells him immediately. “And Jason likes to make you squirm.”

The podfic! by @kittonafoxgirl @vexbatch @kbirbpods @flowerparrish

another the podfic! by @yuurei

I Know You by @claraxbarton, rated E:

“I really thought the Hulk dildo would be more impressive.”

Some days, Bucky really, really wondered what the fuck he was doing with his life.

the beauty of discovery by @flowerparrish, rated E:

Clint hasn't had sex in a while, because it's weird and uncomfortable and he's got a complicated enough relationship with his body that he doesn't need to go pressing buttons marked Do Not Touch for no good reason. Plus, when living with Nat, she'd just go to the gym if he needed alone time, and now he lives alone.

Except.

He also, now, has the complication of two really attractive boyfriends and a habit of panicking whenever things get a little too steamy.

of people wrapped up tight in things that will kill them by @bittercape, rated M:

Tragically, this is not the first time Clint wakes up on a concrete floor to the exciting view of metal bars. At this point in his life he’s not even sure why he expects anything else. On the bright side, he’s not trussed up like a turkey or even cuffed, and he’s still wearing clothes. His own clothes, even. That’s two whole bright sides, which frankly is unprecedented.

It'll Only Last by @claraxbarton, rated E:

Fun fact: Gotham had the highest concentration of whatthefuckery in the entire world. Or it would, if anyone bothered to record those kind of metrics.

Someone should.

Then again, Gotham so obviously won the title that maybe it wasn’t necessary. Still, there were some other places Clint had been that should definitely come with a warning label. Someone should definitely write a guidebook.

It was in the middle of a firefight between assholes who worked for the Black Mask, assholes who worked for The Penguin, and an asshole going by Red Hood that Clint allowed himself the very brief daydream of him and Bucky fucking off and traveling the world and writing a guide book about whatthefuckery.

And then someone shot him.

The One Where Clint Goes to Preschool by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock, rated G:

"I keep petitioning for hazard pay, but — please don’t grab, Cassie! Let’s use our polite asking words.”

“You don’t get hazard pay?” Clint asks.

She gives him a look that clearly says, Don’t ask stupid questions, but what comes out of her mouth is, “Nobody teaches pre-k to get rich, and nobody lives in Gotham for the peace and quiet. Simon, buddy! Walking inside, not galloping, okay? Anyway, it’s a nationwide problem, really, but full-time daycare options in this city are — no thank you, Quincy! Excuse me for a second.”

She bolts over to the other side of the room, where two kids are locked in a screaming tussle over a toy.

In a shocking twist of events, Simon trips and eats it in spectacular fashion a couple feet away from Clint. He props himself up on chubby arms, looking down at the traitorous ground and then up at Clint like he’s expecting commiseration.

“Let me guess, didn’t see that one coming?” Clint says.

Maroon Kind of Mood by @claraxbarton, rated E:

Clint Barton, bloody-nosed, black-eyed, hair mussed and shirt - just gone - grinned at him from his slump against the doorframe.

“Hey,” Clint drawled, stretching out the last syllable in a way that quite literally spelled trouble.

Jason rolled his eyes.

“No.”

The One Where They Connect A Couple of Dots by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock, rated T:

“Did you swallow a Gender Studies 101 textbook?” Steph asks.

“No, but my boyfriend has been super into dismembering the patriarchy lately.”

“You mean dismantling?”

“Yeah, that. Totally.”

Odd Man Out by @claraxbarton, rated E:

“Batman’s dead,” Bucky said before the engine had even fully cut out.

Clint blinked, wondered if that last explosion had been close enough that maybe he was suffering a concussion and hallucinations. Again.

“Huh?” he said, just to be safe.

Bucky scowled, not his listen up scowl but his shit, are you concussed? scowl. So that was probably a point in the favor of Bucky being real.

“Batman’s dead,” Bucky repeated.

Okay. So. Real. And that was… some real shit.

“Fuck.”

The One With All The Dick Jokes by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock, rated T:

Jason groans and drops his forehead to the table, thunking it on the wood a couple times for good measure.

“What’s wrong?” Clint asks.

“He’s just so… Dick,” Jason mumbles.

Parade by @claraxbarton rated M:

When Natasha had asked Clint to house-sit for her while she was out of the country for six weeks, she had given him a very specific and very concise list of rules to follow:

Feed Liho at 6am and 6pm. Feed the fish at 6am and 6pm. Feed yourself at least two meals a day. Coffee is not a meal. Change the litter machine every four days. Pick up the mail every day. Delivers at 3:37 except Saturday at 11:18. Do NOT talk to 2B/ Alice Lucello. Do NOT carry her groceries. Do NOT go into her apartment. Do NOT call the super to fix anything. Fix it yourself or call me. Do NOT let him into the apartment. Do NOT use the stove. Do NOT fuck 4C.

The One With The Kittens by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock, rated T:

“Be nice, it’s not every day someone gets tranqed for the first time,” says another voice, low and steady, the speaker still out of sight.

“You never forget your first,” says Red Hood.

Ronin chuckles, flipping Drew’s fake ID between his fingers. “Is that like a coming-of-age ritual around here?”

“What’s wrong with a good old-fashioned bar mitzvah?” grumbles the third voice, its owner appearing in the doorway — and it’s then that Drew knows he’s really, truly fucked, because that flickering light is now glinting off a metal arm.

Salt in the Wound by @claraxbarton rated M:

“Well, well, well, you come here often?”

Despite himself, despite the goofy line and even goofier delivery, Bucky can’t help the grin spreading on his face when he hears the familiar drawl and looks up into a very familiar face.

Bucky’s been nursing a drink at the open bar for the last twenty minutes, avoiding as much small talk as he can at the Stark Charity Gala, and he’s been pretty successful up until now. Something about his ‘murder face’ keeping the ‘civilians’ away.

But Clint Barton, shit eating grin broad and stupid and handsome on his face, and Jason Todd, fuck-off smirk deadly and handsome on his face, clearly don’t care about his murder face. And they aren’t civilians.

Clint pulls Bucky into a hug and holds him close and tight like they’ve just come through a war and not just another season of professional baseball.

He lets Bucky go with a squeeze to his neck and a brush of lips against his cheek that probably no one else but them and Jason catch.

The One With The Overheard in Gotham Blog by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock rated T:

Man 1: Babe, you’re so cute I just wanna smush your face sometimes. Man 2: Babe, I am the scourge of the underworld, can you not?

Third Wheel by @kangofu-cb rated E:

“Listen,” the guy says, and his voice is low and kinda rough, and he’s got an accent Bucky can’t quite place. “I’m not tryin’ to overstep, but I overheard kind of a lot and like. I know you’re, uh… trying to work through some shit, man, and I get it. I, uh, had kinda a fanatical upbringing myself. But I’m not sure this guy is the one to work it out with, you know?”

Bucky… is going to kill Clint. Suddenly all of Clint’s odd comments and strangely demure behavior and even his clothes start to make a kind of insane sense. He’s play-acting at more than just a first date. Clint’s pretending to be someone else entirely, and Bucky’s not sure if it’s a joke or a bad attempt at seduction, but either way a heads-up before the evening started would have prevented a hell of a lot of confusion and maybe prevented Bucky from nearly murdering his husband in a bar in Hell’s Kitchen on a Wednesday night.

The One With the Pottery Barn Couch by @noxnthea, @there-must-be-a-lock rated T:

"Just kidding," Jason says. “I have a dog, a boyfriend who wears an apron when he bakes, and a couch from Pottery Barn. Domestic as fuck.”

That gets a solid laugh before Dick continues, “I know that your, um… profession complicates things —”

“What could you possibly mean?” Jason asks innocently, wiping blood off a knife.

“ — but everybody deserves to find love.”

Throw My Body In The River by @claraxbarton rated T:

The thing was, Jason was twenty three and had spent his teenage years as a vigilante and then some more of his teenage years dead and then brainwashed and then hell-bent on revenge. Middle school had been hell and he’d never even had the chance to go to high school for more than a month before his life very abruptly ended.

He knew, from being around Dick and Roy, and now Clint and Bucky, that being twenty three and still a virgin wasn’t exactly normal, even - perhaps especially - considering his circumstances. But, well. Jason was twenty three and a virgin and it sure as hell didn’t seem like that was going to change anytime soon.

You Can't Be On Edge Forever by @vexbatch rated G:

Prompt: your scrungliest meow-meow gets a nice thing for once

Bucky and Clint try to surprise Jason with a nice time. It doesn't go exactly as intended.

you know i live to fill you up by @mightymightygnomepriest rated E:

5 Christmases Jason got laid, and then another one he also got laid. And then another other one he got laid, too.

First lines game

Tagged by @nadsdraws !

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway. From a winning hand [T], written for the Even Keel Steddyhands zine, 1.5k:

"Have you ever played cribbage?" Ed asks, when Stede settles down into his armchair and sets the brandy on the table between them.

From cursed [T], a pre-Steddyhands, playful Izzy fic written for the Canyon Writers' Workshop zine, 1.6k:

"Ed, I have something terrible to tell you."

From inside out [E], a t4t sub!Ed Blackhands PWP written for Our Flag Means Gifts 2023, 8k:

"You've been a proper twat recently," Izzy says, from his armchair.

From in a house by the sea [T], an Izzy-focused gen-to-pre-Steddyhands fic about grief, written for the Canyon Writers' Workshop Exchange 2023 (I swear I write fics not for zines or exchanges! sometimes!) 5k:

“How’re you doing, boss?”

From frivolous [T], silly Stizzy roleplay written for the Izzy Hands Festive Fix-It Fest, 1.5k:

"This is fucking ridiculous," Izzy says. He plucks at the fabric swathed over his legs with distaste, pulling the skirts into disarray. "Just so you know."

From cadenza [M], gen(ish), Izzy's torture at Ned Low's hands takes a different turn, 3k:

"What would be most humiliating for you, I wonder?" Low asks. He touches a finger to Izzy's chest, stroking over the collar of his waistcoat.

From all falls away [E], Edizzy vampire sex 😈 2.7k:

"Shh." The fingers on Izzy's neck are gentle, almost soothing, like the cadence of Ed's low, quiet voice. There's something Izzy should be doing now, he's pretty sure, but it's hard to remember with the hush of Ed's voice in his ears.

From this bridge we built won't last [E], Edizzy sad dubious dream sex, 3k:

The dream starts with the door swinging open. It usually does, though Izzy hasn't had this dream in a while, and the Ed who slides into his room this time looks more like the one Izzy sees trailing after Bonnet up on deck than the one who usually turns up in Izzy's dreams.

From opening [M], Ouizzy! 2.3k:

There's a box in Frenchie's head next to the box where he puts all the bad stuff.

From the rock on which all else stands [T], Ed-centric gravy basket introspection, 2k:

"I'll take you to my thinking spot," Ben says.

Phew! It's interesting looking at these: I start in the middle of scenes pretty often, huh? Drop you right on in there. Thanks for the tag, nads! Tagging in @ewelinakl, @sweveris, @multishipperpirateking, @vexbatch, @bimbobrock, @thedarkcaustic, @boppinrobin if you wanna play 👀

Last Line Challenge

So @cacodaemonia tagged me like a week ago but I forgot, but before I forgot I wrote a thing so I could have something to do, and now @marbled-polecat tagged me again, so here, have two lines from something original I started writing this week to see if the vibes would take!

The woman mouthed thank you and vanished, subsumed into the crowd as the next person in line stepped up to take her place. Weird, to be sure, but not the weirdest thing Aden had seen yet this morning, and if precedent could be relied upon, the day was only going to get stranger from here.

Tagging @seascribbling @vexbatch @petrifiedforests @trudemaethien if any of you want to, and anyone else who wants to, do it and @ me, this is your unofficial tag!

Prelude

For a full minute

they just

look

at each other.

Izzy takes

a slow, deep breath

trying to steady

his rapidly beating

heart.

His eyes

flick

between Stede

and Ed

but beyond that he doesn’t

move.

None of them do.

Of course it’s

Stede

who breaks the silence.

Well.

One of us needs to

say

something.

An amused

barking laugh

from Ed.

A wink.

I didn’t think

the three of us

came in here

for talking, mate.

Stede’s face pinks.

I just meant

we can be civiliz—mmph!

His words are

muffled

by Izzy’s mouth

on his.

Ed chuckles.

Well done, Iz.

Izzy looks away,

scowling.

Someone had to

fucking do

something.

A hand

settles on his cheek—

Stede’s,

he recognizes

the soft skin—

turns his face

until he’s looking into

big, sweet eyes.

You can kiss me

anytime,

Israel.

NaPoWriMo day 20.2 - “someone had to do something”

For @vexbatch

Although it can be read on its own, this is part 18 of Trust, a sometimes poetry, sometimes prose series I’ve been writing for about a year now. 💜 (it starts with established stede/ed and new stede/izzy and slowly moves towards stede/ed/izzy)

✨ When you get this you have to put 5 songs you actually listen to, then tag 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ✨

Thank you @flawedamythyst for the lovely tag - sorry it took so long to reply! Sickness struck the household once again!

The ironic thing is I’m one of those people who has multiple vibe playlists, and tailored ones, and writing ones, and car ones, and background ones - I just love having a soundtrack all day lol. So, I figured I’d pick ones that actually sometimes have me pausing what I’m doing and sing along to them - rock on!

Song list: Chandelier by Sia, Changes by 2Pac, Happier Than Ever by Hozier, Take Me To Church by Hozier, Party Up by DMX

Tagging, though of course no pressure:

@energievie @vexbatch @penguinsandbats @fablesdelightme @complicitsacrilege @soitamulle @magslensherr @albymangroves @carmine-sunlight @nalyra-dreaming

Note

Could you maybe write a no powers au where Bucky is teaching Clint to play guitar? And maybe Clint gets distracted by the hair escaping Bucky's bun and the cute concentrating face and also just *Bucky is too hot aaa*

“No, put your fingers like this,” Bucky says, adjusting the position of Clint’s fingers on the frets.

“I don’t bend that way,” Clint whines.

“I’ve seen you bend in ways that are harder than this,” Bucky says, unimpressed. “Try again.”

“This is hard,” Clint says, pouting. When Bucky offered to teach him how to play guitar, Clint only said yes because Bucky looked stupid hot when he was concentrating, and Clint’s a sucker for competent attractive people, of which Bucky is both.

“Wasn’t archery hard when you first started that?” Bucky asks.

“No! That came naturally to me! With this, I have to actually work for it.” He gives Bucky his best puppy eyes. “I think I need you to show me again.”

Bucky rolls his eyes fondly, a smile on his face, and takes the guitar back. “You better pay attention this time,” he warns.

He starts to play and Clint is immediately entranced. Honestly he’s not even paying attention to the actual guitar playing, he’s more focused on the little strands of hair escaping Bucky’s bun and the peek of tongue he can see poking out of Bucky’s mouth as he concentrates, and - Fuck. Aw, feelings, no. He sort of gets lost in Bucky’s face as he watches him play, and when Bucky looks up at him, Clint blinks, struck with the intensity of his stare.

“You’re not even paying attention,” Bucky complains.

“I am so!” Clint protests. “Just... not to the guitar,” he mumbles. “Can’t help it if you’re distracting.”

“I’m- oh. You think- me?” Bucky says, eyes wide. Clint shrugs helplessly. “But I’m not-”

Clint stops him. “If you end that sentence with anything other than a giant six headed alien, I will smack you! You’re amazing, Bucky Barnes, and I will hear nothing to the contrary.”

Bucky blushes, and the sight of his cheeks slowly turning pink is probably the best thing Clint’s ever seen in his life. “I think this lesson is over,” he says quietly, putting aside the guitar.

Clint’s heart sinks. “Oh,” he mutters. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to-”

“If you end that sentence with anything other than be so adorable that you made me forget everything I know multiple times, I will throw you out a window,” Bucky says, eyes sparkling with mirth. “The lesson is over because I want to take you on a date.” He holds out a hand to Clint. “What do you say, sweetheart?”

Clint blinks at him, silent for long enough that Bucky’s grin falters. “Yes!” he blurts, grabbing Bucky’s hand. “I say yes!”

(for the ‘learning guitar together’ call over at @bingokisses)

AO3 Tag Game

I was tagged my the lovely, amazing @noxnthea =) Thanks lovely.

1) How many works do you have on AO3? 100

2)What is your AO3 word total? 712,702

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? Only Marvel.

4) What are your top five fics by kudos?

Will Grant Wishes for coffee (rated T, has genie!Clint and normie!Bucky)

Putting Together the Pieces (rated T, both boys were mind wiped- Clint after New York and Bucky during Hydra days. And it's about them getting together)

I Want Something Just Like This (rated T, nurse!Clint and musician!Bucky)

This Love is Ours (rated T, Bucky accidentally spills the beans that Clint and him are in a relationship)

Not that bad afterall (rated T, the first fic I've ever written)

5) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? I love replying to comments because it's engaging for everyone. I thrive off of comments, I have even changed and added bits to my unfinished stories because of them. It just makes the experience all that more worth it.

6) What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? Okay so I am a huge fan of angst, but I never (except for when I did whumptober) leave a fic on angst. Or at least I try to end them all with glimmers of hope for the future. I think the closest I have is Feathers and Notes only because you never find out about Bucky (it's a Amerihawk fic).

7) Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you have ever written? I haven't wrote a crossover. Maybe one day....

8) Have you ever received hate on a fic? Not that I can remember? I think I received one that was could be taken as constructive criticism that I'm still a little confused about, but I've never received hate.

9) Do you ever write smut? If so, what kind? I have exactly one smut piece and it was to honor Squaddy in the weirdest way possible for her birthday. It was soft for the most part I guess? I am asexual and I lean more on the "sex makes no sense" side of things. I know this isn't all asexuals, but it definitely is to me.

10) Have you ever had a fic stolen? I very much doubt it.

11) Have you ever co-written a fic before? Hmm, no. The idea of it kinda scares me? I'm a high stress person and I would be afraid of letting someone down. It takes a lot for me to do charity auctions because I'm scared for the same reason.

12) What's your all time favorite ship? Probably Clintasha to be honest. I like them romantically or in the platonic sense. Winterhawk is probably tied, but if I want to write something comforting, I drabble in Clintasha. (I used to have a gdoc with writing I have never posted and most of it was Clintasha. I think I deleted it though...)

13) What was the first fandom you wrote for? Marvel. I'm sure I've done rp's of Harry Potter (with OCs) and one that was a crossover between Black Jewel Trilogy (OCs) and Naruto (OCs), but never fics.

14) What's your favorite fic you've written? ... now this question is just evil. Feathers and Notes is one of my favorites though. Hurt comfort, so many possible outcomes. I also really liked "Red Vines and Peppermint sticks" for the same reason.

Tagging! @pherryt @verdantbogmoth @vexbatch @ialwayscomewhenyoucall @shatteredhourglass and whomever wants to do this fun stuff. =)

Disclaimer 1 - Some of the "Depends on my Mood" is also fandom dependent. Some I'm more likely to read/write in some fandoms than others. No, i don't know why.

Disclaimer 2 - some of the "Hard No's" are also dependent. I MIGHT give something a try depending on my mood AND the writer. Usually not, though.

And a shout out to the one that isn't here "Tub Sharing" cause that's my Jam!

AO3 Ask Game

I was tagged by @themarshalstale which, thank you so much! I feel like I always get missed on these (I know why, it’s been 84 years since I published anything but still). 1. How many works do you have on ao3?

46 it seems. Which...look I’m slow man so that’s not surprising. lol Also crippling depression does not make for much production, at least for me.

2. What’s your current AO3 wordcount?

309662 according to the stats.

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

So do I could only AO3 or in like life? lol I suppose it should only be on AO3 since this is an AO3 ask game. Hrm. Basically AO3 can be summed up as: Marvel (in several iterations - all Avengers related) Torchwood Highlander But isn’t it more fun to consider my entire fandom life, which, I’m sorry, I’m old so...yeah. Not all of this is was published and beyond that a lot is not available anymore...which is likely for the best. Highlander Star Wars Babylon 5 Ronin Warriors/Samurai Troopers Marvel (again, several iterations also of note Avengers and X-Men both count) Torchwood Star Trek LOTR Stargate (SG-1, SGA) Mortal Kombat I dabbled with the idea of Potter fic but never got past the ideas stage.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1: You rearrange me till I’m sane Clint finds himself spiraling into a deep depression after the Battle of New York...until the Winter Soldier ends up saving him and inadvertently giving him a new purpose – to save the man that the Soldier had once been – Bucky Barnes. Not one to be outdone, the Soldier decides that his new mission is to ensure that Clint remains alive himself. Protecting a blonde man with a self-destructive streak is somehow very familiar to him. Through the back and forth of who is saving whom they cross the country and learn more about themselves and each other – and perhaps find a reason for living. 2: Five Dates Bucky Didn’t Realize He Was on And the One He Planned Himself To say that Bucky was surprised when Clint kissed him was an understatement. But it was nothing compared to the shock he felt when he learned they'd been dating for months without him realizing it.Clint gets whisked away for a mission before they have time to talk and Bucky is left to figure things out on his own - hindsight being 20/20 he can't help but wonder how he missed things the first go around.

3: Puck Luck Bucky Barnes is used to the ups and downs of an NHL season. He's used to the unpredictability of the game, knows that bounces don't always go your way, but that doesn't make a broken hand in the final third of the season any easier to deal with. Especially not when he ends up with an impromptu roommate/personal assistant in the form of one Clint Barton - his agent, Natalia Romanova's (rather attractive) friend he hadn't known existed before his injury.

It's just for six to eight weeks - what could possibly happen in that span of time?

4: Loose Lips Launch Ships

Based on the following prompt: “We go to school together and I think you’re cute and apparently you’re also the pizza delivery guy and my little sibling opened the door screaming hey sibling! you know that kid you’re in love with? you really weren’t kidding when you said his jawline could cut steel holy shit-” Bucky is the pizza delivery guy. Clint's younger (foster) brother has a big mouth.

5: Indelible Bucky Barnes has a pretty decent life – a good job, good friends, a cat that adores him - but something is missing. He’s always found body art to be beautiful and inspiring, and on a whim (and with the hope that maybe he can find what he’s missing) he decides to take the plunge and get a tattoo. That's how he meets Clint Barton. Clint's talented and compassionate and there is an instant spark between the two of them. It's not long before Bucky finds himself wondering and wanting more from the relationship despite the ghosts of the past that crop back up. Because Clint makes him feel normal in a way he truly hasn't for years...

(this was pre-Alpine so I was totally chuffed when canon confirmed Bucky’s status as a crazy cat lady (affectionate).

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not.

I really really really want to do it but I often times don’t end up doing it. There are a few reasons. First, I am akwward AF and bad at interaction adn I feel like just saying thank you would be...not enough? Second - I often times tend to like...turtle (aka retreat into myself) when life gets Too Hard/Busy which happens a lot to me (sigh) and then I miss the vague window in my mind in which it would be okay to respond and then it’s even more weird. I do love and cherish all of them. Like there was one months ago that made me go “hmm...I didn’t think I was going to do a sequel to that fic (You rearrange me till I’m sane), timestamp glimpses sure but a sequel hadn’t come to mind” but then the comment made me think! So...who knows? lol Anyway, I literally have been rereading some in an effort to try and get myself going again. Know that if you have commented, I love you.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

At the moment? Probably: Look at you look at me Bucky's in love with Clint - problem is he's really not supposed to be. For Winterhawk Week 2019 - Forbidden Love (I really don’t want to give away the spin in the fic but...if you’re familiar with the Secret Avengers Vol 2 run circa 2013ish (aka when SHIELD initially ‘took control of the team’) that’s a bit of a hint as to the spin). Were it done, Torch Song would be up there. ;) Torch Song Clint is sent back in time, via an alien device, to 1938. While he tries to figure out how to get back home, he takes up singing and entertaining to make ends meet and does his best to not disrupt the timeline.Then he meets a 21 year old Bucky Barnes. --- A torch song is a sentimental love song, typically one in which the singer laments an unrequited or lost love, either where one party is oblivious to the existence of the other, where one party has moved on, or where a romantic affair has affected the relationship.

7. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve ever written?

Does *wanting* to write crossovers count? lol I want, so badly, to do more crossovers and fusions (which...are kinda deeper versions of crossovers in a way). The only one I do have posted is a crossover between Highlander and Torchwood -

The Immortal Mr. Jones A series of vignettes (some long, some short) in the life of the newly immortal Ianto Jones. My most ambitions project that I have been working on since late 2011/early 2012 is a fusion of the Avengers with Stephen King’s the Stand. I will get that done at some point *shakes fist* The Stand, for those who don’t know it, is an epic 1000+ page novel about a flu epidemic (I know) that wipes out over 99% of the population and then two figures representing Good and Evil pull the survivors in two directions for a showdown. So basically it’s a non-powered modern AU set in that universe. It’s a passion and comfort project. lol

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yes. Well, minor bitching back when I was in a prior fandom because I tagged a pairing in a fic but it was pre-slash and not labeled as pre-slash. I got hate on...I think it was Torch Song? And I’ve gotten hate on tumblr re me and my fic in general as well. Fandom! *jazz hands* Oh! And I’ve also been hit by those reviewers within Winterhawk (among general Clint pairings actually) who like rate you on either number scales or the “meh” scale. Which isn’t hate exactly but...it’s passive aggressive bullshit because I can’t believe none of them realize at this point that the authors can see their bookmarks - you know?

9. Do you write smut?

Yes. Do I write it well? I have no idea. lol

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I am aware of. Well...there was, I think, one of those reposting sites that had a few fics on it but I don’t think it was being passed off as someone else’s? I can’t quite recall. It’s why I have a note on AO3 about reposting my work anyway.

11. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not entirely, but sort of. Let me explain - I am part of a PBEM game; which for those unfamiliar since it’s a term that was most heavily in use 15-20 years ago, in which you basically do a round robin type writing thing but rather than everyone writing the same characters you write your own characters and you play off what other people have done. Another way of looking at it is it’s basically DnD without dice and written down rather than done out loud. You also don’t have to all be around at the same time. It’s a lot of fun and yes I have been in it for 20 years even though there aren’t many of us left but they are some of my dearest friends and fabulous writers. Wins all around. One of the other writers and I have actually toyed with the idea of doing a co-written fic actually, mostly because we work super well together and keep getting ideas for things but can’t really do them as rpgs since the pbem style isn’t used much anymore.

12. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Winterhawk probably. Though, let’s be real - Han & Leia are epic and amazing as are John & Delenn (from Babylon 5).

13. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Does wanting to expand The Black Stallion books as a wee child count? lol Not much of that was written save for world building ideas but there was a great oral tradition of telling stories to my friends. Otherwise...maybe a tie between Star Wars and Highlander. Star Wars was a love since I was super young but the writing bug didn’t hit me until around the same time Highlander was a thing as well.

14. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written? You rearrange me till I’m sane for sure. Though Torch Song, if it were finished, would be tied I imagine (I suck at picking favorites). Honorable mention to Puck Luck and Indelible. Tagging: I have seen this like a million times (okay 5) so I feel like everyone has been tagged already that I know. But...I guess... @vexbatch @crazycatt71 @heartonfirewrites and @disruptedvice sorry if anyone has been tagged before.

WIP Tag Game

I was tagged by the phenomenal @astrabear to share the first lines of my WIP’s - because as she said, “because you're active in multiple fandoms and I want to know what you're up to.”

I seperated them by a few categories, but first, for anyone else who might like to play along: @asunlovingde @fablesdelightme @prouvaireafterdark @peri-helia @spacewitchqueen (yes this is me shamelessly trying to get a sneak peek at the Rockstar AU <<;) - but of course, as always, no pressure implied <3

My current already posted WIP’s

Mark of Cain (almost done!) - my Cult AU TOG JoexNicky fic that was technically supposed to be done in March, and then holy heck several illnesses and my poor mom’s health, and etc etc I’m that far behind, but almost ready for the next chapter update, and just a few more to go. Fingers crossed mid July now!

Nicky felt the rush of blood around his ears drown out the horrible gurgling sounds beside him, yet still his eyes were heavy, half hooded, as he swayed a little from the adrenaline seeping out of him. His bent legs cramped beneath him, trying to signal that they needed relief from the seated pose he was in, but no internal message could reach him now. He blinked at the dull ache from his lower half, felt the warmth of the blood that had sprayed onto his bare side dry into sticky streaks. But he had been covered in so much worse from Cain in the past - what was a little blood in comparison?

Pretty Ballads Hide Bastard Truths - a Witcher prequel featuring Calanthe x Eist (hasn’t been updated in fourteen months, but not abandoned, promise! Just a lot of life and fandom events in between, whoops! But I genuinely hope to finish it mid summer)

The island of Hindarsfjall was Eist’s favorite.

Though it was the smallest in the archipelago of Skellige, it was the most vibrant one this time of year, with thick foliage and overgrown vegetation. The perfect place for a teenage boy to explore and roam in the dense, thick, cluster of trees that kept the worst of the summer heat off of his pale skin.

But it was the fjord, not far from the temple of the Great Mother, Freya, that once again beckoned Eist to the jagged edge on the northern side. It formed the best jumping off point into the warm spring below, and though bottles of the healing waters were given to visitors (in exchange for a small donation to the temple), a young man in his fourteenth summer found it perfect for blowing off steam.

My soon to be posted WIP’s

“What a great start to our partnership” - DantexAimes (Fast X) (I had genuinely meant for this to get written over the weekend, whoops, but it has been started at least - fully outlined, too! Special shout out to both @cosima-nova & @you-came-back for their lovely feedback and excitement).

Dante slipped on the gun strap over his stiff shoulders, the morning workout had left his muscles feeling a bit sore, but it kept him primed for the kind of jobs his father needed him for - and frankly, that alone was worth some of the suffering. It just felt good to be needed, to be acknowledged, in any capacity, and if that required a little pain along the way, then so be it.

Fandom Event related

“Untitled FTH fic” - Steddyhands - okrrr the only reason I haven’t started writing this one yet (because it’s already outlined, has some dialogue, and I’ve legit been editing scenes in my dreams lol), is because I just know that once I start, I won’t stop, and I’m equally desperate to get one long fic done before diving into another one but SOON, so soon!! This one is gonna pour out of me the second I start and I can’t wait to deliver it for my lovely bidder and friend @vexbatch - expected upload date: July

@iwtvbigbang x3 - not only have I had the privilege of organizing this with two other mods, but I’m fortunate enough to have snagged three authors and am excited to make some custom art for them soon <3 - posting dates: October

OFMD RBB x2 - I made two pieces, and two authors selected one of each and I even ended up betaing one of them and I cannot wait to share the pieces and the stories! I ended up getting so inspired by the some scenes shared by a second that I ended drawing another piece, too lol - posting dates: June & July

Steddie BB x2 - I just got paired in this one, and am so excited to share that I’ll be making some sweet summertime love art, as well as an Anastasia AU piece (I feel giddy about it!!) - posting dates: October-December

IWTV Art Coven group project - just wrapped the tarot, and working on the calendar next - proceeds go to charity - posting dates: November

Alsoplusalso - my first comic is coming in a few weeks (but to keep it a surprise for the giftee I can’t say more atm)

ANNNND - launching an interest check in October for an IWTV Zine that myself and the IWTV BB mods will be running (super stoked!) All proceeds go to charity as well

But other than that, same ol’ same ol’ lol
