How to add descriptive text to images in AO3
I like to use images in my fanfic, but I didn’t think about screen readers. For people who need to use “text-to-speech” apps to read fanfic, these are wonderful tools that help them access our stories. Those tools can’t see images and describe them, though. It’s my responsibility as an author to make my fics accessible to anyone who wants to read them by adding those descriptions myself.
Find out how under the cut.

No known user workaround right now, have to wait for a fix. Seems ok for android users?!
Heads up everyone, Tumblr has decided to change the link structure in mobile again so all my links appear broken. I am sorry, please bear with me while I…
1) scream into the void for 3-7 minutes
2) spend the rest of the night figuring out how to overcome this latest bullshit
Pretty man for tax…

I had an inspiring thought in the middle of the night! If we're characterizing brady as an irish catholic boy and curtis is also self-proclaimed irish boy, do you have any thoughts on how well they vibe? Does their shared irish-ness make them get along better or worse lol? Does brady ever get pulled into curt's shenanigans?
Nonny the sheer joy I felt at opening my app to this ask this morning because, truth be told, I have been seriously considering writing a fix-it fic for sweet Curt once Only Truth is finished.
Secondly - yes! Middle of the night thoughts for the win! This is when the best things sneak through, when we are completely unarmed.
Ok now, to get to the meat of your ask - these boys could not be more different if they tried.
We’ve got our big city Curt who seems Irish first and Catholic as an afterthought? He’s a brawler, an agent of chaos, and a yapper (affectionate).
In contrast we have our upstate rural Brady who seems Catholic first and Irish incidentally?! Very much an American boy who does things by the book, what little he says is to the point and sometimes cutting.
I honestly don’t see them recognizing anything in common with one another other than the uniform. They run in their own cliques, and Brady gives the shenanigans a wide berth.
Brady really only ends up so close with Bucky after the latter loses everything - loses Curt, loses (he thinks) Cleven. He’s like the back-up guy who then becomes a stalwart in the Stalag, probably because Bucky realizes what a stand up guy Brady really is.
But Curt and Brady were like ships in the night, two guys amongst hundreds who nodded politely but never really hung out. At least that’s my take on the way canon played out?!
I’d love to see other takes on this too!! Excellent ask nonny, you really made me think on this one.

Hi I sent in a ladies who Brady prompt a little earlier. I’m not sure it went through 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I thought no harm in sending it again.
I wanted to know your thoughts on how John Brady would react to a lady who makes the first move. Who sees him and instantly is like oh it’s definitely him…he’s the one for me and just goes up to him and is flirty.
But if my original request did go through I’m so sorry I don’t mean to spam, I just am not sure bc it didn’t say submitted after I sent it so 🤷🏻‍♀️😬
Nonny! No apologies, astoundingly I did actually receive your original ask despite this hellsite (affectionate)’s best efforts. I’m gonna include it here to ensure I get the full tone of your ask.
Tumblr media
And combine it with this topical gem that just stumbled into my ask box as well! We are feeling the bold ladies this evening 💪
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Cut for length, no real warnings
I definitely see Brady as a by the book traditionalist
Not because he thinks the other ways are wrong just that this is the way things are done and have been done and that’s how he learned to do them
You are the other hand are bold, modern, thinking outside the box. Truly, how else did you find yourself working on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean for the war effort
The moment you laid eyes on him it was a revelation. In a sea of uniformed men he was one of a kind, the very kind of man you wanted to spend the rest of your life with, but now you have to get him to notice you
And it’s not like there’s a ton of competition but he seems to stick pretty close to his group of friends when he’s not on the bandstand
And you’re getting impatient, particularly when you overhear a couple of the newly arrived nurses divvying up the officers amongst themselves as though they have some kind of claim and the time to act is now
So you put in a little extra effort for the dance that night
And you hang close to the bandstand and wave off other men when they ask you to dance and when the set comes to a close you hold out a fresh beer to him
“You fellas played well tonight”
He takes it with his thanks and takes a long drink, looking you over as if for the first time
Someone sets a record to play during the band’s break and you tilt your head “so are you ever going to ask me, John Brady?”
And he looks so startled, so utterly flummoxed that your stomach drops through the floor and you are entirely convinced you’ve ruined any chance you might have had
Turn to flee in your mortification and leave him to be carved up amongst the nurses but his hand is on your elbow, guiding you over to the dance floor
The tips of his ears and the flesh of his neck are most definitely pink but he offers a somewhat confident smile “dance with me?”
And suddenly what you thought was disaster is transformed into the night of your life
He dances with you the entire break, seeming loathe to let you go when he returns to play the second set but his eyes frequently meet yours by the stage as he plays and you find a corner of the club to talk until near dawn the next morning when they eventually kick you out
All manner of stories and facts are shared and there’s a sweet kiss at the fork in the foot path before you have to part ways to reach your quarters
“Didn’t have to ask for that, did you” he teases you softly and you giggle fondly before darting off to catch a few winks of sleep before your shift

I am becoming a Brady convert and a former Catholic, it makes me laugh far too much
Hahaha today has been pretty heavy on the Brady propaganda, I can hardly blame you for joining us Ladies Who Brady 😉
But yeah, boy crosses himself once and we’re all gobbling up that crumb and creating an elaborate Irish Catholic backstory for him.
This is the HBO War way….

Ladies who brady....we've missed the obvious one....what about how Brady would react to finding out he's gonna be a dad??
Excellent point, nonny!! This is definitely ground I haven’t covered with this lovely boy 💙

So pregnancy tests were quite complex before the 60s, involving frogs and a 24 hour wait, so not commonly performed
I feel like you would hold off telling him until you were really really sure, like get a doctor to confirm your suspicions and still wait a few weeks
You’re a fidgeting bundle of nerves at the table at dinner that night, despite practicing your delivery all day, and after the second time you drop your forkful of mashed potatoes, his hand comes to rest over yours
“Everything ok sweetheart?” He raises an eyebrow, his blue eyes begging you to confide in him because honestly your behaviour has struck him as odd for the last few weeks now and he’d really like for you to share whatever it is you’re trying to hide
“‘M pregnant” it just falls out of your mouth under that gaze without any of the pretty words you’d wanted to wrap it in and you feel his hand flex over yours before his grip tightens
“Not sure I quite caught that?” He exhales and you gulp
“Pregnant. I am…pregnant John.” You bite your lip as you hold your breath, awaiting his reaction.
An incredulously noise that’s half laugh half huff escapes his lips before he’s lunging forward to press his lips against yours fiercely
Pulls back, hauling you into his lap as he looks up into your eyes with an adorably vulnerable earnestness “really?”
“Yes!” It’s your turn to exhale a laugh and kiss him gently “yes I waited to be very very sure”
The grin on his face is naked joy, something he doesn’t indulge in often and makes you want to give him anything he could ever ask for
This may be the reason why you end up with a whole passel of children…

how do you think John Brady would act in a relationship with someone who is a sexual assault survivor? Headcanons or impressions of how that relationship would work? If you’re not comfortable with this, I totally understand. Thank you for your time.
Sweet nonny I appreciate this ask because, well, me too, so let’s dive in 💙
Cut for length and sensitive topic
I feel like it’s going to take a while to open up to a relationship after something like this
And yes he’s unspeakably handsome and capable and sarcastic but that almost makes it harder for you to act yourself around him because of the stakes?!
And so he gets the impression you’re not very fond of him - which is so far from the truth and everyone can see how much chemistry to pair of you have
I feel like some intervention from a sweet friend is going to be required here, someone you feel safe being honest with whether it’s a fellow lady working on base or dare I say Croz could be the one you confess your feelings for Brady to?!
And once Brady realizes that maybe you’re shy or something and not completely turned off by the idea of him, he’ll make a careful move trying not to startle you off because let’s be honest he never really could stop thinking about you anyway
It’s easy between you, at least it seems that way, but anytime he gets too close or suggests something where there aren’t a lot of other people around you clam up, pull away
And he’s starting to get his suspicions but not wanting to jump to conclusions until Kidd keeps them really late one night and he’s delayed in meeting you at the club and one of the new guys is really wasted and all over you
Arrives in time to watch you panic and flee and he’s rather torn about smacking the idiot around and running after you but you’re obviously his priority and Bucky is already lumbering over to the terrified boy anyway
Finds you pacing near your barracks and as he calls your name swears you jump five feet in the air before you realize it’s him and then you allow him to pull you close and soothingly rub at your back
And then the whole story you’ve been holding back comes pouring out of you and Brady wonders if he has time to commit murder before his next mission
Letting him in brings you inevitably closer, helps him understand you a great deal better and he never allows you to endure a social situation alone again - if he’s going to be late someone is tasked with watching over you in his stead
And his patience qualifies him for sainthood, letting you dictate the speed at which you two become more physically intimate
Sometimes you have to cajole him a little if you’re really wanting something and he’s being overly cautious but you know he’d back off the instant you needed it and it only makes you trust him more deeply
Have a feeling he would physically suffer for you and you become very very careful to never take advantage of that or put him in that situation

Oh God! The Ladies who Brady are feasting today! Literally!!
Thank you for all the John Brady content!
🤭🤭🤭
Nonny I see what you did there and I whole-heartedly approve. ‘Feasting’ indeed.
I emerged from my sick bed and didn’t feel up to a full chapter of Only Truth so we are all just gonna roll around in my Brady asks.
Got one more, on the fluff/comfort side but still about our beloved boy 💙

How spicy do you think Brady would get in public with someone? Like real talk here haha? Or is he a stone cold wait until he gets home kinda guy?
Oooo nonny this is a fun ask!
Mature/explicit response under the cut - 18+ only
Honestly it’s going to depend on what era you are in in your relationship…
If it’s before you’re married and you’re limited to finding creative spaces to enjoy one another’s company, then a bathroom or back room - any room with a lock will do and quiet is a must
This era also involves no penetrative sex because that’s for marriage - good ol’ Catholic cock block
Once you have a home of your own to go to and be loud in however that’s immediately going to be his preference. He likes being able to take his time and make you squeal and hear you and not have to swallow his own grunts of pleasure. You may engage in the occasional bathroom or closet tryst in this era but it’s for nostalgia’s sake and just a taste of what he’s got planned for when you get home
Teasing? He’s not going to stick his hand up your skirt in a crowd but I don’t see him being above pressing an erection to your ass to let you know it’s time to go

Hi! As one of the “ladies who Brady” I just want to say thank you for providing content for us Brady fans.
I’d also like to request some headcanons for how Brady would act when he’s jealous.
Feel free to get as spicy as you want.
Darling fellow Lady Who Bradys, what a joy it is to see our numbers swell of late!!! John Brady is getting the attention he so richly deserves 💙
So outside the super specific scenario I laid out in Parting Gifts, I feel like if he was able to directly interact with the source of his jealousy, Brady’s snark would come shining through.
Tumblr media
Mature/explicit themes - 18+ below the cut (I got super carried away…)
Huge thanks to darling @precious-little-scoundrel for collaborating with me on this one
Typically he’s not a very insecure individual, but here at the ad-hoc reunion of men from the 100th with you on his arm he cannot help but feel old rivalries burning a little brighter
Goes to fetch the pair of you fresh drinks while you chat with a few friends you’d already met back in New York before you relocated here to Maryland for his new job
On his return, he is surprised to find you alone with that lush Jones from Arkansas with his strawberry blond hair and absurdly long eyelashes and it immediately raises his hackles
Comes to stand close to you, inserting himself slightly between you and the interloper as he gently sets the drink in your hand
“John Brady!” Jones greets him with exaggerated joviality and he acknowledges him with a tight-lipped, polite smile and nod “so glad ya took time outta yer busy schedule ter come ter our lil’ ol’ get together”
“So glad you managed to find the place, Jones.” Brady’s eyes glitter with a hard edge and you do your best not to choke on the sip of your drink you’d just taken
Jones, for his part, remains as blithely oblivious of the slight as he had proven of the finer details of navigation and drones on, continuing to shuffle closer to you and ask you all manner of intrusive questions until Brady decides he has a headache and it’s time to call it a night
Makes you wait under the overhang in front of the hotel as he dashes out into the rain to fetch the car, darting around to open your door despite the second soaking it earns him
“Thank you, Johnny” you smile fondly and kiss his cheek before sliding onto the leather bench seat at his side as he pulls out for home
At first it’s hard to discern, above the noise of the wipers squeaking across the windshield as they desperately try to fight off the deluge of water, but eventually you pick up on the fact that Brady is muttering bitterly under his breath
“…wouldn’t know a cardinal direction if it jumped up and bit him in the behind…man hasn’t dried out one drop since landing stateside, pickled as a fish…too bad he’s allowed to dress himself now, what an abysmal suit he was wearing…”
Subtly glancing out of the corner of your eye you can see his exasperated expression, cheeks inflated as though he were caught in some extended inhale
“Betcha make the yummiest roast, doncha sugar” he suddenly drawls in perfect mimicry of Jones and you have to desperately press your fingers to your lips to smother your laugh. “How would you know what a good roast is, you squirrel eating bastard” his scathing blow delivered to his absent enemy is your undoing, a giggle slipping past your defences and quickly drawing his gaze
“Sorry, Johnny, sorry that was just a really funny one” you apologize quickly
He huffs in exasperation and you lean in to press a soft kiss to his cheek, feeling him relax slightly under your affection as he turns down your back lane
“I’ll grab the garage door” you insist quickly as he pulls into the driveway and can hear his protests even as you climb out of the car, but pay them no mind as you unlock and roll up the door, sliding back inside and he pulls in
You know Brady very well. Know that the instant you get inside his hands and his mouth will be all over you, focusing solely on your pleasure and there’s something about his reaction to Jones that makes you think he ought to be the centre of attention for however long he’ll let you get away with it
And trapping him in the car while you do it seems like the perfect place
No sooner has he put the car in park inside the garage than your lips are pressing against his, hand coming to rest on his thigh
“Sweetheart what are you-” he mumbles against your lips but you silence him by sliding your tongue along his as your hand moved to the apex of his thighs to announce your intentions as you massage his hardening length
He exhales sharply through his nose, breath caressing your cheek, but he’s not pushing you away
As the windshield grows dry, the wipers let out an aggravated noise at the friction and you feel him grope blindly behind you to kill the engine
Work his fly open as you shift to kneel on the bench seat beside him, mouth tracing along his jaw to what you can reach of his throat, more than a little annoyed at the interference of his shirt collar
“Out…here?!” He pants a little and you find your lips curling into a smirk against his skin, the sound of rain thundering on the garage roof filling the car
He makes as though to pull your mouth back to his for a kiss but you slip out of his grip to lean over his newly exposed cock, eyeing your prize a moment before taking him into your mouth to coax him to complete hardness
“God…goddamn..!” You hear his strangled curse from above and are only encouraged further as he rapidly stiffens against your tongue
His hand grips your hip as you begin to bob along him, his grunts and heavy exhales causing the humid windows of the car to cloud with condensation
You wish you could see his face - the way his eyebrows knit together in concentration when he’s trying to stave off his own pleasure for the sake of yours
But that’s not the point this time
Sliding the hand that isn’t stabilizing you against the car door to cup his remarkable balls, you gently begin to massage encouragingly, feeling him shudder
He’s pulling at your skirt, grabbing at the flesh of your ass once he’s located it, before shifting his fingers to slide along your folds over your underwear. It’s not enough to really achieve anything beyond expressing his appreciation, but you whimper nonetheless and he bites off a sharp ‘fuck’, fighting his hips’ innate desire to thrust
You can feel his lower abdomen twitching against your cheek, know he’s close by the way high-pitched keens have snuck into his exhales
“Sweetheart I’m…”
“Mmhmmm!” You hum around him and a string of curses tumble from his lips before he shouts your name as ropes of cum paint the back of your tongue and throat
Sit back on your heels as you swallow, drinking in his dazed expression, his head flung over the back of the seat
Lean in to cup his cheeks and feather tender kisses across his face
“That was…” he sighs
“To remind you just who gets to eat my roast” you grin and he lazily raises an eyebrow
“Are you propositioning me, sweetheart?”

Would you consider writing naughty headcanons for Buck if I asked really nicely? 👀 (I'm eating them up)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't think you guys know how much you're feeding me rn with these requests lmfao
He's a blushing cherub of a man before you get together and still gets a little embarrassed if you say something vulgar but after a while he just becomes amused at your antics and is that a little more self-assuredness he's walking with???
You.👏🏻Did.👏🏻That.👏🏻
Bucky immediately sees the difference in his best friend's demeanor and crows about it for days, very smug and proud.
I do feel like Gale would beat around the bush if he was in the mood. He has needs as much as the next fella but it's never been super high on his priority list and the poor guy doesn't want to bother you.
Definitely gets more flirty with you when he's feeling that way, though, and you learn to recognize the signs bc baby boi ain't gonna outright tell you what he wants and that's okay.
Stealing his gum when you kiss him in front of his friends before walking away, making his ears turn red at all the hootin' and hollerin' and pats on the back he receives until he shoos everyone back to whatever they were doing
Covering him with kisses when he comes back home to you. There's not a scar in sight that gets left untouched, no ma'am!
You make a joke about the image of him lying in bed with lipstick impressions all over his body and a sheet draped over his pretty cock being the cover of a Valentine's pinup card and you don't leave the bedroom for a week.
10/10 very romantic, golden retriever bf energy. 💛 He likes to show you how much he appreciates you and that translates to very sweet, very endearing love-making.
Likes to look at you during sex, so it's either missionary or you're on top—I don't make the rules. 🤷🏻‍♀️
You gotta show him what you like—how to eat you out, what speed to fuck you, that sorta thing. But rest assured he's got a photographic memory when it comes to you so you're only gonna have to tell him once and then I hope you're ready bc he's gonna use that info to bring you to orgasm several times in the course of your first night together.
The image of his mouth around a nipple and his pretty blue eyes looking up at you does you in. As much as he likes to watch your reactions, you feel an even deeper sense of intimacy and vulnerability when you're with him.
He gets mad at something one day (not at you!) and the sight of him pacing back and forth in the house with frustration pouring out of him makes for a nice little fantasy of him bending you over and you try to hide the way you're squirming but he mistakes it for you being afraid of him and he's very contrite, very sorry if he ever made you feel that way—but then you admit how it really made you feel and that's when the two of you christen the dining room table and your sore for what feels like forever.
That's the day he realizes that other positions might not be so bad. 🤧
Finds the sight of you in your little pink or blue or yellow nightgowns/slips to be hands down the most alluring thing he's ever seen and he very openly stares in wonder at you until you come over and remind him that he's allowed to touch and then his hands are everywhere
