I’m not an easy person to date but at least I’m entertaining, right @jacyevans?

So, as voted by the people, here are sentences from my WIPs. Totals were one from the OT3 fic, one from the H50/Avengers, and a whopping 12 from Unstoppable. Could I be an asshole and do 112random sentences? Yes. Am I going to be an asshole? No. You get an actual chunk of the fic. Enjoy!
OT3 Time-Travel Craziness:
She glances over to Howard before replying, “I’m afraid you missed your mark by about 80 years, darling. I’m from 2025.”
Avengers/H50:
“At least I’m not proudly part of the city whose one of five boroughs is Staten Island,” Danny snaps back.
(I honestly don't know if I'll ever write this out but the few snippets I have make me cackle.)
And now, a small scene from Unstoppables. No big spoilers. Well, maybe. Mwahaha.
Stiles looks like he either wants to walk back out the front door or explode. With a sigh, he settles for rubbing a hand over his face. He gestures to Stark before glancing between her and Barnes.
“Why did you have to bring the annoying one? Is this the new glitter bomb?”
Natasha smirks as John snorts at his son’s whine, not even rebuking him.
“Hey! What did I say about talking in English?”
“Fuck off,” Stiles mutters.
“You can’t tell Iron Man to eff off!”
Stiles blinks as he takes in the newcomers. “Who the hell are you guys? And why are you sitting on my dad's couch?”

Writing Advice: How to Create Conflict when Your Characters are Competent.
Featuring Leverage, the ultimate in Competency Porn.
Make them so good it gets them in trouble. So you've got a hacker and he's the best, definitively. Okay, well, one of his fake IDs just got called for jury duty. You pretended to be a psychic so well, someone kidnapped you to talk to a dead crime lord.
Make them targets. You're so good, enemies you didn't even know about are trying to kill you just so they won't have to take you on in your element. You're being blackmailed into doing a thing because you're the only one that can.
Limit the scope of competency. Sure, you're competent as a fighter, but your hacker is in jail and now you have to do his job and you are not competent in that. Yeah, you can climb a building, but do you know what you need to do to not end up in a crevasse while climbing a mountain?
Raise the stakes. Can you handle extracting a orphan being used by a washed up actress to fund her extravagant lifestyle? Yes. But can you handle extracting 30 orphans being used by the Slovenian mob to fund gunrunning? Maybe all you wanted was to get enough money to buy back a house, but instead you have to ruin the company so that all houses they illegally obtained are returned to their rightful owners.
Make others competent, too. Your characters are the best, but are they the best of the best? If you take you enemy down, do you go, too? If you win, does it make them win? Does it get out of hand and make other people start noticing when you're trying to keep your head down? Do they know every trick in the book and know the next move before you make it?
Make others painfully incompetent. Your characters are the best, but are they woefully unprepared for people who are not even good? Can your hologram hacker roll with it when the vital information is on a casset tape? Is the old mentor up to date on the recent technology, or is he going to screw you because he assumes the cops are just as corrupt/incompetent as when he was young?
Have some standards. Specifically, morals that make it impossible for your characters to back out or gets them in trouble for doing things "off-script." You can't leave on the train someone just stole for you because you've got to go back and stop the bad guys from bombing the IRS (even if we don't like them). You wish you could just say no to that assassin contract and leave, but someone's getting assassinated and you have to stop it because you're a good guy.
Bring up the past. Do you think that bad guy you brutally scarred a decade ago is going to carry a grudge? Do you have to save your ex-wife from the bad guy, who may also be her boyfriend, and if you suggest that she'll shut you out and you won't be able to save her or get paid? It's Draaamaaaa, babee.

I wanted to draw the winter soldier for years but never dared to, I thought I’d definitely mess it up. Late to the party as always, but I finally dared to do it 😊
This one is based on a photo that Sebastian Stan took by chance prior to the Civil War film, having no idea what’s about to come :> I thought it’s wonderfully angsty 😌💅

Just a couple of dudes reminding you that Aldis Hodge is, in fact, the sexiest man alive. In addition to being a horologist, he's also a painter and a violinist. He also went to school for architecture.

TEN. YEARS. LATER.
We’re on draft seven. Probably eight, if we’re honest. Nearly three million words. We have an AU. We also have an AU of the AU. And a sexytimes BDSM AU. Fuck our lives, dude.
@dream-mancer and I are about to embark on our fifth major re-write of our epic Supernatural/Teen Wolf crossover. I THINK THIS IS THE ONE, GUYS.
Keep your fingers crossed, because I REALLY like this one so far. It’s the most excited I’ve been about our fic in a long time.
MAYBE WE’LL FINISH THIS SOME DAY. WHO KNOWS?

So. Hi. I’m alive. I’ll respond to messages and comments on AO3…someday. Superheroes is still going strong. I’ve made great headway into the next chapter and have even started on the sequel. FML.
But life hit hard. Finances have been extremely tight. Health insurance sucks and I can’t get medications or adaptive aids I need. There were shake-ups at work and my case load increased with no warning with no raise. Healthcare doesn’t pay shit, y’all.
And to top it all off, my parents’ health is declining. A lot. I’m an only child and it’s been rough, especially since I live five hours away. It’s been really tough. And just two weeks ago, my favorite aunt - FAVORITE - passed suddenly. That’s just kicked my depression all over the damn place.
So. I’m alive. Thanks for the concerns. If something serious happened, you would see it on @jacyevans or @spankerella’s tumblrs. Feel free to bug them. Maybe they can poke me into writing.
Love you all.

I might be a bit predictable…and a teeny, tiny bit violent. https://www.instagram.com/p/Co572HbOefTROPBuAxDVr6fU81f3MyvET1Eurs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is very true. I had child locks engaged in my Expedition (I don’t have kids; I have crazy friends) and a yellow Penske truck decided my big ass white SUV didn’t exist in his reality while going 70mph in Dallas traffic. She was on the driver side and I passed on his left. When she says she dove across, she DOVE. Legit climbed over other passengers to do so.
And yes, she has also honked my horn for me. To be fair, it hasn’t happened since I moved to Texas.
the role of the person in the passenger seat is not only navigator but secretary as well. you have to type up the drivers messages to random ladies on facebook about cbd cream & google whether that billy joel song was the theme song for that show or not
