as discussed, i love angst more than life and would like more of take your leave of me my love (though i beg of you to let me stay)!!! <3

why must you hurt me this way 😭 (but also same, and now the phrase "i love angst more than life" lives in my head rent free)

this is actually so so SO angsty i'm so sorry, but it ends in a lil bit of comfort because why do we angst but to be comforted?

take your leave of me my love (though i beg of you to let me stay)

Tony adapts remarkably well to having one arm and a web of scars over half his body. Once he’s out of the hospital, once his head’s cleared of the copious amounts of pain medication, he settles into life as a leftie. It helps that he was halfway ambidextrous to begin with, but now he tackles learning to do things one-handed the same way he does an engineering conundrum. He was prepared to lose his life when he put on the gauntlet, and he figures that his right arm is a fair price to pay for the sunrises he gets to sleep through, the nights he gets to spend in the home he built with the woman he loves, and the rest of the universe.

It's Natasha who has trouble adjusting. Because she’s lost more than her right arm – she's lost half of her self.

When half the universe was snapped away, she clung to the fractured pieces of what was left of the Avengers, and clawed them into some semblance of a broken, battered team. She directed mission after mission, seeking to help those left in the dust of the Snap, and seeking, in that, atonement for her failure to save the world.

Now, the world might be saved, but she has failed utterly, in the only way that matters. Because Clint is dead. What kind of atonement could possibly make up for her failure to save the one person who gave her a chance to right her wrongs? Redemption slipped out of her fingers with his hand as he plummeted down the cliff on Vormir, and lies shattered alongside his broken body.

So now, she clings to her fractured pieces, holding holding her self together as the archer-shaped emptiness inside her expands like a black hole and threatens to engulf her.

When she can no longer hold herself together, when she feels the pieces of herself slipping away from her grasp, she crawls into bed next to Tony and presses against him, asking him without words to lend her his solidness, if only for a moment, lest she shatters into a million pieces, irreparable even by his clever hands.

Tony understands the wordless plea every time, and he rolls over, wraps his arm around Natasha’s shoulders, drapes his leg over hers, and crushes her between his arm and his body. He holds her so tight that the air is squeezed out of her lungs and the tears are squeezed from her eyes and the emptiness is squeezed from her chest, retreating somewhere deep into her marrow, abated momentarily but always a part of her.

When Natasha finds herself enough to find her voice, she whispers hoarsely, “It should have been me. Why did I get to come back? What good am I to anyone?”

“Because I need you,” Tony replies with his own share of heartbreak and desperation. “Because you need to save me, Natasha. Every single day.”

With those words her lungs expand, filling not with grief or guilt or blood, but with air. With those words, he saves her, one breath at a time.

Do you have a list of comfort fics? Not them comforting each other but for when you're feeling wrecked and you just need something lovely to make it better?

randomfoggytiger's Comfort Fics

I'm not joking: I've reread more fics than I'll ever read new ones. My usual routine is to pop open Google docs, select an author, and mow down their list.

These three pieces were the ones that started it all; but I forgot to include @seek-its-opposite's photosensitivity. A+s, all of 'em.

Authors that I can't single out comfort fics from and can't tag because Tumblr is restricting my tag options: @baronessblixen, @settle-down-frohike, @onpaperfirst, @markwatneyandenesemble, Lapsed_Scholar, Apostrophic, @ghostbustermelanieking, @o6666666, touchstoneaf, @welsharcher, @scenes-in-between, @mldrgrl, @spooky-nerd, @melforbes, etc.

**Note**: Will ghost edit later~

PART I

Bittersweet Comfort Fics

misslucyjane's Scully seeks insomnia advice from Mulder, and Mulder dies, then lovingly watches Scully live the rest of her life

Kipler's cancer arc set casefile involving WWII vets and letters

melforbes's cancer arc Mulder takes his new bride to the sea for her last spring, and Pre-IWTB Mulder and Scully finally have a home

MldrItsMe's AU Redux II Scully is REALLY suffering, and Sein und Zeit Mulder's suicidal confessions

@discordantwords's Mulder and Scully are almost killed by the Fiji mermaid

mixiz877's Mulder and Scully fight off a gryphon

@fbismostunwanted1158's Scully is beaten down ala Stella Gibson in The Fall

Joyce's S5 AU Mulder is killed, comes back to life to save Scully, and Mulder dies but stays as Scully's partner solving cases with her (Part 1, Part 2, and-- my favorite of the three-- its Halloween sequel)

@teethnbone's post Travelers fic with Mulder and Scully

@sarie-fairy's AU Tithonus love confession, Post Milagro Scully realizing what it feels like to be Mulder, and Post The Unnatural Scully is bleeding out on a failed Sasquatch hunt

@sigritandtheelves's Post Monday Scully remembers Mulder's death

whatliesabove's Post Milagro Scully stays dead (or does she?)

ChaneenW's Pre-IVF arc Mulder is shot into a parallel timeline, reliving the Small Potatoes adventure with Scully

dee_ayy's post Amor Fati recovery fic (with baseball)

@bohoartist's Sein und Zeit through Scully's eyes, and Post Closure Scully rescues a photo of baby Mulder

Lolabeegood's AU where S8 Mulder is returned with false memories (would also recommend Lolabee's IWTB era fics, btw.)

@dreamingofscully's AU S9 Skinner entices Mulder back into profiling... and it doesn't end well

@television-overload's Pre-IWTB Mulder surprises Scully with a baseball field (and his old self again)

@queeenpersephone's AU where IWTB Scully stuck it out with Mulder

@danascullysjournal's Post IWTB bonding fic between a discouraged Mulder and uplifting Scully

@kateyes224's Mulder and Scully content in their UH, and Mulder sells the UH, and Scully buys it

@realmofextremepossibility's Breakup Mulder waiting for Scully's return Part I and Part II.

vulcanscully's Post Breakup Scully stops hearing from Mulder and assumes the worst

enigmaticdr's AU post IWTB Scully thinks she has cancer again (she's pregnant), Breakup Mulder is defeated at their anniversary dinner, AU where Revival Scully gets cancer, and The Revival baby laughs for the first time

prufrockslove's AU Mulder is a Welsh prince, Scully is his betrothed bride, and lots of Prince John high court drama ensues (part I of a sweeping, interconnecting AU series)

Thanks for reading~

Enjoy!

Find Five Lines Tag Game

Thanks for the tag @queeenpersephone 💛

Rules: find any lines in your WIP or fics that fit each parameter given by the person who tagged you. Then change one of the parameters and tag five or more people.

My lines: a line about desire, a line expressing grief, a line expressing pain, a line expressing anger, a line that makes you incredibly happy

Desire…

The smile splintered and she bowed her head low, holding herself tighter, breath shuddering.

“I haven’t met another Mandalorian since the Purge,” she admitted, corners of her mouth pulling in pain she could hide but never heal. “Tell you the truth, I’ve been keeping away. But then you came along and I—I thought I could help you find the tribe. I thought it would fix everything if I could just see them, our people, alive and well… I just… I wanted to go home.”

—from chapter 42 of “Anchors”

Grief…

With no conscious intent, he grabbed the empty carry bag and bunched it up near his head as he laid himself down. There would be no little body curled up in the makeshift nest tonight, no false snores covering a plot to sneak closer, no need to adjust his head to make a perfect sleeping nook between his neck and shoulder... no sense of warmth and contentment as the little one found his greatest safety with his guardian.

Furled up on his less injured side, pain throbbing in an ugly, undefined mass from his head to the soles of his feet, he hardly adjusted his position before he lost all strength to care.

Feeling adrift and unanchored, he fell asleep in a bed not his, in a ship not his, clutching onto broken pieces of his family.

—from chapter 3 of “Head Above Water”

Pain…

He took a few breaths, deepening them and then holding. Planting his hands on the floor, he pushed, and he succeeded, he lifted his head and torso and—

And pain ripped through him: shooting in through his side and flashing outwards in cold flames.

His body reacted to the self-inflicted assault, forcing him back down and arching rigidly, weakly, trying to get away from the pain. He made some involuntary noise, a choked off cry, and the hands were back: catching him, steadying him, holding him down.

—from chapter 5 of “Echoes”

Anger…

“You’d be okay. You know that, right? Someone would take care of you. Sabine or Cara or… someone. We’ve got plenty of friends; good people who do… who would make sure you’re looked after if I—”

Snapping towards him, Grogu made a sharp, shrill noise, cutting him off right there.

“What? You don’t believe me?”

The big watery eyes narrowed with intense meaning.

“You… don’t want to go with them?”

The way the kid just glared at him told him he had hopelessly missed the mark. When he didn’t offer any more interpretations just a lifted brow and a confused shake of the head, the little one let out an almighty sigh and rolled his eyes.

—from chapter 19 of “Anchors”

A line that makes me happy…

“Dank farrick, you’re dramatic,” Dinar mumbled but Ezra caught his little laugh and decided, quietly, privately, that his new mission in life was to pull that laugh from his brother at any opportunity.

—from the as-of-yet-unfinished chapter 32 of “The Lighthouse Keeper”

. . . . .

No pressure tags: @the-kittylorian-writes @seleneisrising @sytortuga @desertbeskar @sotvtaughtmehowtofeel (of course anyone is welcome to join in! Just go right ahead!)

And your lines are: a line about desire, a line expressing grief, a line expressing pain, a line that makes you incredibly happy, a line expressing acceptance

Get to know you game

I was tagged by @enigmaticxbee thanks, my friend 💕

Currently reading: Nothing specific. I’ve started several different books but none are really holding my attention right now.

Currently watching: I don't really watch much tv. Besides always being in one or another rewatch of the x-files I'm planning to see a few movies that sound really interesting. Perfect Day is the first on my list and I'm going to see it next week.

Currently obsessed with: true crime podcasts. I fell down a rabbit hole and now it's constantly playing in the background while I take care of other things.

Find Five Lines Tag

thanks for tagging me @queeenpersephone! Your lines made me want to chew my own hand off as always, you write so lyrically.

Rules: find any lines in your WIP or fics that fit each parameter given by the person who tagged you. Then change one of the parameters and tag five or more people.

My lines: a line about desire, a line expressing grief, a line expressing pain, a line that makes you incredibly happy, a line expressing anger

Your lines: a line that's tender, a line that's angsty, a line you didn't like initially but grew on you over time, a line that you think is clever, and a line about regret

A line about desire from iron masks and spider kisses, a fem!tony ironwidow fic (is it an incredibly ace mood that i don't ever write about desire in the conventional sense?)

Gentle – and how could a hand that had spilled so much blood be so gentle? – Natasha laid a hand on the arc reactor. Palm on the glowing surface, fingers spread out. Feeling its slight buzz against her skin and against Toni’s. She traced a finger along the criss-crossing scars, learning the bumps and paths of each.

A line expressing grief from let the river carry my grief (all the way to the sea), a post-Endgame Wanda-centric fic about the five stages of grief

Wanda goes from room to room, drifting like a ghost. She expects to see him around the corner, expects to see him in the kitchen asking her to taste-test something for him, expects him to phase through the wall that separates the room that was his from the one that is (was) hers and curl around her body and hold her until she falls asleep.

But he never does, and she never sleeps, because when she closes her eyes, the only thing she sees is the image of him dying, seared into her brain.

A line expressing pain from take your leave of me my love (though i beg of you to let me stay), an ironwidow post-Endgame one-shot

“What are you saying?” Her voice trembled. Her shaky grasp on casualness slipped away, and the tears came uncharacteristically easy. She didn’t have the strength to stop them or to put on a brave face. Not anymore.

A line that makes you incredibly happy from Home, a blackbonnet innkeepers era one-shot

“You don’t find our lives…” Ed searched for the right word for a moment before he settled on, “monotonous?”

“Monotonous?” Stede repeated, incredulous. “You’re my greatest adventure, Ed Teach.”

A line expressing anger from hunger, an ironwidow vampire au

But it appeared that Tony was conscious because he hissed, “stay back.” Despite the weakness in his voice there was something feral in it, and Natasha faltered, staying a small distance away. Not nearly far enough to be safe.

He lifted his head and Natasha saw his face for the first time. The circles under his eyes were so dark that they were all but shrouded in shadow, and his eyes were two black coals. He had not fed in a long, long time.

“What did they do to you?” Natasha’s voice shook – not with fear but with rage.

#thanks for the tag liv <3 #i spent way too much time on this lmao #also i don't think i understand what “A LINE” means #it means a paragraph #right?#also it's very on brand that these are all very angsty lmao #except for the blackbonnet one #angst is just so delicious #fanfic #my writing #lizzy writes

mutual appreciation 2023! part 2 🤍

— happy holidays! this is the first time i've ever done one of these, but i'm coming back on tumblr after being on and off for a while and i want to connect with people and see who's still active. i did not check to see if people were active or not, so if you are tagged but have a different name and still want to be mutuals, let me know! i appreciate you all more than you know. tumblr has been a great community for me for the decade that i've been on here. i had to split this post into three parts because of the new link limit (which i did not realize was a thing).

— also, if you're not following my side blogs, they are @pericleas (classic and ya lit, art history, etc.), @qeterqujll (marvel), @anyon-else (anime and fanfic), and @kvle-simmons (music).

— please reach out if you want to chat! i'm always looking for new friends on here, and i feel like i haven't interacted with a ton of you.

tags under the cut 🤍
