Whumptober Day 12: Self harm

tw: bodily self harm, non-suicidal self harm, minor cuts, minor burns, intrusive thoughts, distorted thoughts/way of thinking, trauma, harmful inner dialogue, triggering imagery

It started with small cuts on the hand, easily disguised as papercuts. Whumpee had been getting into reading again; Caretaker would understand. Dragging one's finger on the edge of the knife page was so tempting. A few days and bandages later and it was like it had never happened at all. Caretaker and Whumpee could just forget about it. The urge got stronger. Whumpee went about their day as normally as possible, healing from cuts their time with Whumper and getting used to a new life with Caretaker. It weighed on their mind constantly, and the mask of being okay was becoming hard to stay on. Whumpee enjoyed their time with Caretaker. Caretaker was always willing to help them and to try and fix the broken pieces of themself. They can't fix this. They could tell Caretaker anything. Not about this. Caretaker would help them through anything. So why not tell them? Whumpee wanted Caretaker to be happy. Soon, it included standing in the too hot shower or holding their hands under the scalding water. Burns are less messy than cuts. Then Whumpee would remember what happened with Whumper in front of the fireplace, and would get scared and turn the water down. Why do you do this? Whumpee wasn't used to not constantly feeling some degree of pain. It's comforting, I know pain. There were many things Whumpee wasn't used to, but they wanted to get better. I feel like I'm getting worse. Caretaker had a nice job, and was able to provide for the both of them. The temptation grows stronger while they're away. I'm safer when they're here, but they can't be all of the time. Whumpee thought it might be nice to get a job of their own and to get out of the house, even if just part time. Who would want somebody so broken? Whumpee remembered their job before everything that happened with Whumper, and while the work was tiresome, their coworkers were fun to be around. What would they think of you now, you pitiful thing... One day, when Caretaker was at work, Whumpee decided to try baking something. Before they could start, they had to tackle the pile of dishes in the sink. Be careful not to "accidentally" grab a knife by its blade... Whumpee started on the task, moving slowly and carefully. There were a few knives at the bottom, of various sizes. Whumpee picked them up and started to inspect them. No harm in doing that if you're not harming yourself. Whumpee inspected the tips of the blade, how heavy they felt, and checked for any chips along the blade. They put the knives in the diswasher and started the cycle. While they waited for the dishes, Whumpee went to read their book, but instead headed for the bathroom. Just in case, I want to make sure Caretaker has adequate first-aid supplies. They opened the cabinet under the sink and found bandages, gauze, burn cream, and individually wrapped pads soaked in rubbing alcohol. You wouldn't be looking here unless you wanted to do it. Give in already. Whumpee left the bathroom and tried to read their book, but they couldn't concentrate. Eventually the dishwasher chimed and Whumpee went to dry and unload it. Don't think about the knives, they can't hurt you if you don't let them. What if I want to let them? Whumpee pulled a box of cake mix from the cupboards and two pre-filled piping bags. They were going to make a bloody mess some cupcakes. Caretaker would be delighted when they came home! Not at the sight of your blood, only Whumper would like- Whumpee pushed the thought away and turned on the small radio Caretaker kept in the kitchen. They found a station of current pop hits, which wasn't their thing, but it would help keep them distracted. From what? Your own mind? You can't get away from that. Baking, frosting, and decorating the cupcakes went smoothly, and Whumpee enjoyed getting to make something with their hands and bopping along to the radio, even though they didn't know the words. They put the cupcakes in the fridge to let the frosting set up, and would take it out before Caretaker got home to place on the table for them to see.

Whumpee had an hour left to themselves and needed something to do. They could try to read their book, but what if they couldn't concentrate again? Thinking of books made Whumpee think about the crisp edges of pages, and how it felt to run their finger along them. It's not pages you enjoy... They found themself opening the knife drawer. "Just to inspect," but you can't use that excuse now that you've already done that today. Whumpee took out the smallest of the knives, with a blade the length of their thumb. The butcher knife looked rather inviting, but it would have been too much too soon. They ran it along their thumb, and then moved down to their wrist, then arm, with never enough pressure to commit. They wondered what Whumper Caretaker would think of them. They imagined what they would say, "Whumpee, I-I'm so sorry you felt the need to do this to yourself- here, let's clean you up..." before taking Whumpee into their arms as they both cried. "Ha! I guess I don't have to punish you anymore, clearly you can take care of that!" or even worse, Whumper standing behind Whumpee, placing one hand over Whumpee's, the other supporting Whumpee's arm, guiding the blade along their arm as they made Whumpee do it themself... No. Caretaker didn't deserve this. Whumpee didn't deserve this. It was so tempting, too tempting, but Whumpee wasn't going to give in. Whumpee put the knife away and put back on the pop station, though they were blocking most of it out. They paced around the kitchen until Caretaker got home. Caretaker opened the door and was immediately greeted by a tight hug from Whumpee. Caretaker returned the embrace, then a second later was being rushed into the kitchen, where a tray of freshly baked cupcakes sat on the table. "Whumpee, this is amazing! T-thank you! I'll go put my things away, and then we can dig in!" Whumpee was beaming with pride, and admiration for Caretaker. You're safe. For now.

The Sorcerer Supreme and his very weird, magical diet [IronStrange]

This is for the IronStrange Winter Gift Exchange 2022 @ironstrangehaven

Prompt: Stephen having side effects from the magic he uses. Any direction is good for this, it can be funny, hurt/comfort, whump, sexy, just something where he and Tony are facing something weird the magic has done to Stephen.

Summary: 5 times Tony has to deal with the weird side effects of Stephen‘s new magical diet and 1 time he nope’d out.

Tags: established relationship, soft idiots in love, magic is weird, this is more on the funny side, don’t mess with the fridge!

Ko-fi | Read it on AO3 | Masterlist | Word count: 4k

Author’s note: This is for you, @thedevildinosaur. I loved that prompt and had way too many ideas, so it became a 5+1 fic with a good amount of banter. I hope you have fun reading it. Happy Holidays!

The Sorcerer Supreme and his very weird, magical diet

Tony typed on his Starkphone and waited for Peter to run an update on his spider suit. The boy was supposed to show up soon.

The door to the hallway was open and he heard footsteps and two voices approaching. One of them was clearly Cap.

„… thank you again for your time, Doctor. It was really appreciated.“

„No problem.“ Tony perked up as he realized the other person was Stephen. „I‘m glad I could help.“

„And I‘m glad that the item we found in the Hydra base was not cursed… I‘m sorry, are you sure, you‘re okay?“

„Yes, this is just a minor inconvenience. Don‘t worry.“

Tony frowned. Whenever Stephen said, 'Don't worry,' it was most likely something to worry about. In that respect, they were both very similar. The fact that Steve Rogers aka Captain America was additionally irritated about whatever was going on, only added to Tony's worry.

He stuck his head out the door and saw the two men standing at the end of the hallway. As far as he could tell, Stephen looked normal. There was nothing to indicate that he wasn't okay. The only unusual thing was that he didn't have his cloak with him. Maybe it was washing day. The cloak hated wash days.

His mind at ease that this was just his not harmed wizard boyfriend, he called out to him. „Hey, Strange.“

Stephen turned his head and that's when Tony saw what had Cap worried. First he thought there was something wrong with his eyes, because for a moment it looked as if the sorcerer's body was blurring. Tony rubbed his eyes, the image did not change. Stephen became transparent for a moment, flickering, as if he were fading in and out of existence. Tony could clearly see the wand behind him.

Huh. That was new.

Stephen, however, did not seem to mind. His eyes lit up when he saw Tony and he said goodbye to Captain Rogers with a few words – now as solid again as a human being should be – and then walked down the hall to him.

"Tony." He flickered again, his outline blurring, if only briefly. From close up, it looked even weirder. Almost like a flawed hologram. Tony reached out his hand. It landed on the sorcerer's front chest without reaching through him.

"Not a hologram," the mechanic stated.

Stephen gave him an amused look. "Sorry to disappoint?" He stepped further into the room and leaned casually against one of the lab tables. As usual, he had no business looking so handsome at such a mundane activity. But Tony let it slide, because there were obviously more pressing matters to address.

„Are you telling me what this is?“ he asked him, stepping right in the sorcerer‘s personal space. His curiosity was piqued and he was very tempted Friday to have some scans done.

Stephen ran his hand through his hair, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Wong had me set on a magical diet," he explained. „These are just some side effects.“

„I hope you‘re not going to disappear on me.“

„Is that worry I hear in your voice?“ Stephen‘s voice was teasing and dropped an octave. He licked his lips and Tony zoned in on his shiny pink mouth. The inventor knew he was being distracted – Stephen was a pro in deflecting – and he didn’t press the matter. Stephen would open up, if he was ready. Instead Tony kissed him, just softly but full of affection.

Stephen sighed and relaxed under his touch. He was always much more concerned about things than he wanted to let appear.

“I just wanted to know if I need another wizard as my plus one for that gala in two weeks.” Tony kept his voice light.

“As long as there’s free food, I’m sure Wong would love to go.” Stephen chuckled, then added, “The symptoms should disappear in a few days.” Stephen locked his eyes with him. He knew that every joke Tony made, also hid a serious concern.

Someone at the door cleared his throat. Peter stood there, his school backpack hanging over one shoulder. „Hey, Mister Stark. Doctor Strange.“

Turned his head, but didn‘t move an inch away from Stephen. „Hey Pete. You‘re early.“

„Actually I‘m half an hour late.“

„Same difference. Plug your suit in so Fri can run the update.“

The boy nodded and went to his table, while Tony looked back at the sorcerer. "Duty calls," he said apologetically.

Stephen did not blame him. He was himself expected in Kamar-Taj and disappeared through a portal.

A week later, Tony was visiting the Sanctum. Stephen was busy updating a few wards on some relics.

He was still fading out every now and then, although not as often anymore. Tony had found out that it was related to his emotions. Ever since it was his favorite thing to make Stephen flustered and see him going transparent.

Most of the time Stephen hardly noticed that he was fading out for a second and it did no harm to him. Even the cloak of levitation had come to terms with this by now and was back on his shoulders.

As far as Tony had found out, this magical diet was essential for the Sorcerer Supreme. It increased his powers without having Stephen absorb demonic creatures. Tony seconded that last bit very much.

Stephen‘s body needed to adjust to his new powers and until there was an overflow of magic, causing weird side effects like fading out of existence for a split second.

Other ‘minor inconveniences‘ – Stephen liked to call them that – that Tony had witnessed in the last few days included:

- the sudden appearance of butterflies (this happened quite often whenever Stephen used a spell)

- feathers growing in his hair. Plugging them out was kinda hurtful, since they were deeply rooted in his skin. But Stephen didn‘t want to walk around in public with them.

- breathing fire whenever he opened his mouth. It lasted for four hours and Wong put in on time-out in the mirror dimension after he almost burned the curtains in the library.

- once a cat followed Stephen and Tony when they were walking through Greenwich to get lunch. Tony was just 35% sure this was part of the side effects. It could be just a regular cat. There was also the slight possibility of a shape changer. Tony was sure the cat looked funny at him at one point.

Beside the butterflies, which dissolved after a few hours, fading in and out was the only lingering effect. Stephen was pretty sure that he just had to use his powers a lot to regulate the overflowing. And since Wong backed that thesis up, Tony wasn’t too alarmed about it.

While Stephen was still busy with the relics, Tony looked at the image of a floating globe. It was made out of golden light, a perfect replica of the Earth – the color a sign that it was currently not in any danger. Small glowing dots marked the locations of the super secret wizard headquarters and their even more secretive school.

Tony liked to joke about it, but had to admit that in these days and age of facial recognition and tracking devices, it was impressive for such a large organization to stay mostly under the radar.

“Hey, quick question.” Tony turned his head to Stephen and pointed at Asia. “Is this red glowing dot a concern?”

Stephen stopped weaving the spell he was working on and stepped next to him.

"The Hong Kong Sanctum will take care of it," he decided with a quick glance. Having such a globally networked organization to rely on was quite handy.

Suddenly, another, larger dot lit up in the Midwest.

„This one on the other hand…“

After a quick re-check on the location, Stephen opened a portal. He stepped through first and then turned to give Tony a hand. The inventor still had his difficulties with portals of any kind. It helped that he could see a small town on the other side instead of the dark expanses of space. It also helped that nanobots bled over his body, forming his Iron Man suit.

Surprisingly, everything was quiet on the other side. Tony had expected more chaos, maybe mayhem… at least something that caused the alarm. “Are you sure this is the right place?”

Stephen nodded. “Magic isn’t always obvious.”

They walked through a nice suburban neighborhood. It was a late summer day and people were standing in their front yard looking at them curiously. It wasn't often that Iron Man walked through their street. Tony waved at two kids in a garage driveway, who gaped at him with their jump rope in hand.

“How about dinner later?” he asked the sorcerer casually.

Stephen avoided looking at him, almost embarrassed. “Uhm, since I started that diet, I can’t have normal food for a while.” Maybe never again, but he wouldn’t open that topic yet. Not when they had to concentrate on a potential threat.

Tony shrugged. “How about a movie then? That means more popcorn for me. What are you eating anyway? Mystical vibes?”

“More like alien eyeballs and writhing tentacles. Cooking is not Wong’s strongest skill.”

“Yikes. I stay with pizza.” Tony made a face in disgust, but didn't ask to elaborate, because eyeballs and tentacles were clearly exaggerations, right?

Right?

He turned his head to Stephen, who was busy with a golden mandala he had created in front of him. A quick scan of the area told the sorcerer that there was magical activity all around them. But he could not find a source. That was strange. Time to get a different perspective on things.

He dissolved the mandala and opened his third eye with a simple move of his hands. It helped him to see auras and hidden forms.

But before he could look around, he felt the skin on the backs of his hands move. When he turned them, two more eyes looked back at him from them. Surprised, he blinked – and they blinked back. The feeling of skin changing repeated, traveled up his arms. It was weird, and definitely not what he had intended to do. It far exceeded his goal.

With these new eyes he got a new view. It was mostly darkness for now, because most of it was covered by the sleeves. The fabric itched him and he used a quick spell to remove his sleeves. This was way better.

He saw the world in different colors now. It was fascinating. With the eye on his forehead, he already had expanded senses, but now it had multiplied.

Stephen heard something and realized that Tony was apparently talking to him. He was so overwhelmed by the new impressions that he didn't even notice. The sorcerer turned his head toward him and – wow.

Stephen took a step towards him. Tony’s aura was familiar to him, but now there was so much more to see, even with the Iron Man suit on, that usually shielded it. It was blueish-white, but he could make out and distinguish different shades. The blue were actual fine lines, wrapping around the light, that shone like a small sun. His sun. Tony.

When he reached out and touched one of the lines, it pulsed, moved independently.

“I think I can see Friday.”

The words coming out of his mouth were purple with faint black tips.

“That’s great, I guess. But it doesn’t answer my question.” Tony planted himself right in front of him, probably looking at him.

Stephen’s eyes followed where his words went. They were orange and dissolved in the wind. He could see the wind! It was beautiful.

“Hey! Earth to Gandalf!” Tony’s next words were tinted with concern. “Are you alright? You seem kinda off.”

“I’m great. Did you know, you have gorgeous outlines?” He watched the words floating to Tony, wrapping around him like a warm blanket. He tried to catch the question mark, to try to change it, but he wasn’t fast enough. It stuck to Tony's cheek.

“Thanks? You know, those eyes are kinda creeping me out.” Normally, Tony had no problem being stared at. But there were at least twelve eyes on him and none of them were part of an actual face. “Can they help us find the threat?”

But Stephen was no longer listening to him. Tony was still speaking when he wandered off, looking around curiously and in awe. Tony hurried to follow his – apparently – very high boyfriend.

Tony was not fully awake yet but his need for coffee was already strong. He moved quietly, not wanting to wake Stephen – the sorcerer needed sleep as much as he did on his good days – and went to the Sanctum's kitchen.

The Sanctum was a weird place, starting with self-opening doors and definitely not ending with wooden floorboards that tripped Tony up too often for it to be coincidence or his own clumsiness.

Stephen once explained to him that the building had been exposed to a lot of magic over the period of several centuries and thus had formed a kind of will of its own. Magic was unpredictable like that. The Sanctum still had its limits though – of course, it was just a house.

Tony was a favorite victim of its shenanigans, especially when he walked the halls alone – like he was doing now.

He arrived at the kitchen door and opened it – just to find Stephen’s bedroom behind it. The sorcerer was still fast asleep.

“First I need coffee,” Tony said. It wasn't the first time the Sanctum played roulette with the doors, changing the rooms behind them at will. Tony closed and opened the door again. He looked at what seemed to be an actual jungle. A monkey was yelling somewhere.

“I swear, if you’re not giving me the kitchen next, I will call my estate agent and put you up for sale.” He slammed the door shut with more force than necessary. He couldn’t believe he was talking to a building, even threatening it.

The door in front of him swung open again, the creaking of its hinges sounding more like laughter than they had any natural right to.

Finally he saw the object of his desire and headed straight for the coffee maker. It was a modern and very fancy model. Tony himself bought it one day and gifted it to Stephen and Wong – for totally unselfish reasons.

Money had many perks and enjoying heavenly good coffee was one of them.

While waiting for his drink, he let his eyes wander in search of food. He could go for a snack. Maybe a sandwich. The refrigerator was on the opposite wall, freestanding and not near any other kitchen appliances, which, huh, was a weird interior design choice, but he wasn't one to judge. He walked toward it and managed exactly two steps when suddenly all the kitchen cabinet doors began to rattle violently, like an ominous warning. Startled, Tony flinched. Thank you very much for this horror movie moment.

If Tony wouldn’t trust Stephen enough to believe him, when the sorcerer said that the Sanctum was not out to actually try and kill Tony, he would have run a long time ago.

“What?” he asked, but got no answer. The sanctum wasn’t Friday, it couldn’t talk. There was only silence.

“That’s what I thought.” Tony huffed. It was too early for this kind of weirdness. Of course he had to fall for a wizard with a maniac of a mansion. Couldn’t be just a cute suburban condo with a large garden in the back.

Tony tripped over a loose floorboard and kicked the table leg in return. Since he was barefoot, it probably hurt him more than the wood. He was five seconds away from going back to bed without breakfast and coffee, pulling the covers over his head and staying there – preferable forever. But he couldn’t let the house win. Determined, he went to the refrigerator, put his hand on the handle and was about to pull the door open, when another hand laid on him.

“I told you not to touch the fridge,” Stephen said. He was in his pj bottoms with no shirt, which was a sight for sore eyes. Especially with that tousled morning hair sticking in various directions.

“Why? Afraid I eat Wong’s precious leftovers?” Tony wasn't stupid enough to make that mistake twice. “What does a guy have to do to get breakfast?”

“The secret stash is in the top left kitchen cabinet.” He nodded in the direction and as if on command the door of the kitchen cupboard opened. There was cereal, toast and – oh, poptarts! Fine. Tony didn’t press about the sorcerer being overprotective of his fridge and made a beeline towards the sugar. He deserved it with what he had to put up with.

Still, he was a little bit curious about the fridge.

While most of the side effects lessened over time, the butterflies didn’t stop appearing. They were small bluish or greenish and most of them dissolved after a few hours. But some lingered in the Sanctum. They seemed to take a liking for Tony though, and always found their way to him, flattered around him.

Tony pulled his shirt over his head, feeling his arm hit something small as he did so. "Oh shit." He his head, only half-dressed, and saw a butterfly fluttering irritated. Carefully, he caught it. “You have to be more careful, buddy.”

It rested calmly in his hand.

Stephen emerged from the bathroom. “You know they’re not real, right? Just a byproduct of my magical energy.”

“He doesn’t mean that,” Tony stage-whispered to the butterfly. He gently set it down on a dresser. “Go look for your friends.”

He slipped his second arm through the other sleeve and glanced at his watch. “I’m running late. Can you portal me?”

“Sure. Where to?”

“Conference room 315.” Tony checked his hair one last time, then he stepped to the sorcerer, who slipped his slingring on his fingers. “See you tonight?” he asked against his lips, before kissing them.

Stephen closed his eyes for a moment. There never seemed to be enough time between all of their responsibilities. “I’m meeting with the elders, so it probably get pretty late.” He sighed. There were a dozen other things he would rather do.

“Ten bucks your elders are less boring than my board members.”

Stephen huffed amused. “Debatable.” He kissed him again, then took a step back and moved his arm in a circle motion, creating a portal.

Said board members sitting in conference room 315 were caught by surprise, when suddenly orange sparks appeared out of thin air and their boss stepped out of a magical circle.

“Good morning, gents.”

The portal disappeared, leaving behind a small butterfly that followed Tony immediately. There were two more in his hair he was totally unaware of. Ignoring the not so subtle glances of his staff, he sat down and gestured to the guy at the front to continue his presentation.

Tony already knew the headline of the day: dragon invading New York.

Stephen told them it was actually a wyvern, because it had two legs instead of four like a dragon would. Nobody knew how it got here. Maybe it got lost, took a wrong turn in another dimension. And now it was destroying part of the Bronx. The Avengers got called, acting as a backup for Doctor Strange, because, honestly, this was more like his kind of expertise.

He tried to banish it, sending it back where it came from, while the Avengers distracted the beast long enough for the sorcerer to perform his spells.

It wasn’t an easy task, although the creature was clearly outnumbered.

The wyvern lashed out with its spiked tail. Tony moved out of the way, blasted back with his repulsor.

“Can we speed this up?” Clint asked via comm. “I’m almost out of arrows.” As if on cue, one of them hit the wyvern, exploding by impact into goo that spread around the beast’s scales. It restricted the wyvern in its movements.

Strange added more and more symbols to the glowing mandala in the air, concentrating on his spell and seeming to have almost blanked out his surroundings.

Tony had Friday keeping an eye on his boyfriend while he was vulnerable. With another blast he prevented Peter from being hit by a sharp claw. They had to hurry up,

Finally Strange hurled the complicated banishing spell at the wyvern, sending it back to wherever. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Strange’s clothes were slightly singed. The wyvern was able to breathe fire – no wonder the news mistook it for a dragon. He landed next to Cap and Natasha, slightly stumbling as his legs gave in as soon as his feet touched the ground, but the cloak masked it and helped him by taking most of his weight. It had taken a lot of his energy to compete with the wyvern’s natural magic resistance.

Steve turned to him. “Is this thing gone for good? No friends of it are going to show up?”

“It won’t cause any further problems,” Stephen reassured him. He was slightly panting, feeling nauseous all the sudden. “I will look into how it was able to travel in-…” He stopped and managed to turn away just in time, before he vomited some kind of black goo.

The others looked at him concerned.

“Shit, doc, are you alright?”

Stephen nodded, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “Yes, I-… “ He vomited again. Tony was at his side instantly, rubbing his back. The inventor had noticed the sweaty hair and the dark circle under the sorcerer’s eyes.

“Too much magic?” he asked in a low voice. “Let’s get you back home.” He side-eyed the black… whatever this stuff was that came out of his boyfriend. Tony swore he saw it moving. And was that a tentacle sticking out of it?

Stephen managed to nod, exhaustion taking over him. He was tired and – surprisingly – hungry, although he had puked his guts out just seconds ago. “I’m fine,” he mumbled. “Don’t worry.”

“Sure.” Tony knew better than to argue with him. He did, in fact, worry, but moved it aside for the moment and looked at Steve instead, who was watching them, concern also written in his face. “You guys handle the clean up?” It was less of a question and Tony didn’t even waited for an answer before he led Stephen home.

Tony walked up the steps of the sanctum. He had visited Peter and May for their bi-monthly pizza and card game Sunday and decided to visit Stephen on his way back home. He even brought leftover pizza for Wong – Stephen was still strict on his diet, refusing to eat anything else.

The door opened automatically, being familiar with Tony and welcoming him. As soon as he stepped inside, he heard shouting from somewhere in the back.

“It’s getting away!” Wong yelled.

“I’m on it!”

It sounded urgent enough that Tony moved his hand instinctively to the house unit on his chest. But before he could activate it, something suddenly burst through a wall next to the big staircase.

Tony had seen some serious shit in his life: ugly aliens, rogue robots and that one time he was attacked by electric whips at a car race. But magic surpassed everything. Devils, demons and mystical beings? Yeah, tough shit.

And now there were tentacles – purple-green and slimy – a lot of them actually and quite back ones, moving like legs. Like an octopus trying to walk. But instead of a body – there was the fridge. The very one Stephen told him not to touch. It had the same ‘I ♡ NY’ sticker on the door that now hung partly unhinged.

Stephen followed through the monster shaped hole, throwing his red glowing ropes to catch this abomination.

Tony blinked, frozen in place. Then he turned around and nope’d out. This was ridiculous. He was not dealing with this kind of bullshit today. Absolutely not.

Cap Bottom Bingo Masterpost!

Here are all the fics I posted for the @cabottombingo!

I can't believe how many I actually got done! I'd hoped to make a few more full lines, but I was sick in December and January and didn't get as much writing done as I'd hoped.

A3 - "til the end of the line" Soldat i Volkodav (The Fist and The Fang) (steve/bucky, 5k)

Summary:

While on a mission in Canada, the Asset suddenly finds himself free. He follows his partner, the giant wolfhound, because he doesn’t know what else to do. The two end up in the United States, and as his memories begin to return, his need for vengeance grows. Together, they take out hidden HYDRA bases and safehouses across North America. What they find in one base, however, will change everything Bucky ever thought he knew about his time in captivity.

A4 - "Starvation" Some Like It Hot (steve whump, 3k)

Summary:

Steve has been captured by HYDRA. The STRIKE team is having a fun time trying to break him.

Notes:

this is just trash, plain and simple. HTP, hurt no comfort, Steve whump.

A5 - "teleportation" Drastic Measures (steve/thor, 4k)

Summary:

Steve is a barren Omega in a world where his only purpose in life is to create more. In a last-ditch effort to heal himself where science has failed him, he summons the God of Fertility. What he gets, though, is much more than he ever could have hoped for.

B2 - "AU: Bakery" Dashing Through the Snow (steve/bucky, 7k)

Summary:

Steve hates Bucky. Bucky hates him, too, so that’s fine. But when they’re forced to work together and co-teach a class, that anger begins to fade as they slowly learn more about each other. A work trip gone wrong, though, forces them to become much closer than either one ever expected…(aka, the coffee shop college au enemies to lovers snowed in one bed a/b/o that Marv asked for…)

B3 - adopted prompt "truth serum" Careful What You Say (steve/bucky, moodboard + 700 words)

Summary:

Steve is captured and given a truth serum…but his captors get more than they bargained for with the results.

B4 - "Beta Steve" Leg Day (steve/bucky, moodboard + 300 words)

Summary:

Bucky posts some pictures online, creating quite a fuss

B5 - "Much needed hug" Mine (steve/bucky, 5.9k, co-write with @neonbat666)

Summary:

Steve is captured by Hydra while on a mission. Naturally, that doesn't sit very well with Bucky, and he makes every person involved pay dearly for hurting his Steve. Once Steve is safe at home and on the road to recovery, Bucky takes measures to ensure anyone else will think twice about touching what belongs to Bucky.

notes: htp, branding

C3 - free space Smooth Talker (steve/bucky, 7.7k)

Summary:

When Steve decided to try waxing instead of shaving to avoid catching his body hair in the Cap suit, things don't go quite the way he expected. Between misunderstanding the listing on the website and thirsting over the man doing the procedure, he's not sure he'll survive the appointment.

C5 - picture prompt, person restrained My Heart Has Teeth (steve/bucky, 4.7k, with art by @mxaether)

Summary:

During a mission gone wrong, Bucky gets captured. Whoever has him proves particularly hard to track down, and while Steve does his best to ignore how much he’s spiraling, Bucky tries to keep a thread of hope—and his sanity—alive.

Notes: Vampire Bucky

D2 - "Back Alley Fight" I Love Watching You (With Other Men) (chapter one) (steve/bucky, 6.6k total)

Summary:

During the heat wave of 1936, Bucky discovers a secret that Steve has been keeping from him.

He also discovers a few things about himself in the process.

In the future, they find new ways to recreate the past.

D3 - "Saliva" You Make This All Go Away (chapter two)

Summary:

Six months after the helicarrier fight, strange security breaches at the Smithsonian have Steve, Natasha, and Sam running stakeouts, hoping to catch the person responsible—the person they believe to be one very elusive Bucky Barnes.

In what is probably his most bizarre undercover op ever, Steve finally makes contact with the man he thought he’d lost forever.

What he’s not prepared for is what happens after, when Bucky appears in Steve’s apartment in the middle of the night.

D4 - "Creature: Has Tentacles" Into this night I wander (It's morning that I dread) (steve/bucky, steve/johann schmidt, 784 words)

Summary:

Steve gets captured by HYDRA and learns more about Johann Schmidt than he ever wanted to know

notes: htp, oviposition, hurt no comfort

D5 - "skinnydipping" Resurfacing (steve/bucky, moodboard + 1.8k)

Summary:

While Steve is visiting Bucky in Wakanda, Bucky takes Steve to his favorite swimming spot for a heart to heart conversation.

E1 - adopted prompt: "Tied to a Table" I Love Watching You (With Other Men) (chapter three) (steve/bucky, 6.6k total)

Summary:

During the heat wave of 1936, Bucky discovers a secret that Steve has been keeping from him.

He also discovers a few things about himself in the process.

In the future, they find new ways to recreate the past.

E5 - "Sexting" Nineteen Hours (and thirteen hundred miles) (steve/bucky, explicit moodboard + 614 words)

Summary:

Bucky and Nat are on their way home from a mission that has taken far too long for Steve's liking. He sends Bucky some incentive to move a little faster ;)

For the New Year's Ask: 5, 8 and 13 please 💕

Thanks for the ask! the full list can be found here

5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

I am currently busily working on my lunar new year fic exchange treat, but that's no fun cause I can't talk about it. So after that I hope to buckle down and get more of the wip titled 'hei Xiazi bdsm verse' (which is funny cause Liu Sang is the main character) I started it over a year ago, it's a BDSM, Firefighter AU with no set pairing/group, just a mess of relationship lines.

Here's a bit of a snippet from what will be probably part of the first chapter

Liu Sang had not been anticipating Xiaoge showing up at the dorms with his motorcycle, and he really had to kick himself. What had he expected? Xiaoge to drive Pangzi’s van? Liu Sang took a second to close his eyes and calm his nerves that had suddenly flared, he had been doing good at ignoring what was going to happen, then gingerly got on the back of the motorcycle. He placed his arms gingerly on Xiaoge’s waist, not wanting to be creepy, or encroach on Xiaoge’s personal space, but Xiaoge grabbed his hand and pulled and said, “Tighter.” So Liu Sang hugged him, and tried his best not to think about it as Xiaoge revved his engine and drove, slowly, off. Xiaoge only ever touched people when it was necessary, and Liu Sang had definitely never been this close to him. This felt way too intimate.

8 Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?

Well I think after the dubcon Tentacle Porn I cowrote, bravery doesn't enter into it anymore :). (That said I do have a immoral slave owner Wu Xie (aka Liu Sang whump) piece... I have about 8k of it written aha).

13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic?

Not really! I want to explore different styles of fanfic and different writings, but creating in other ways doesn't currently appeal to me. (though knitting something fannish does sound fun!)

YOU THERE! WELCOME TO THE BLOG

Hello and thank you for stopping by! This is the writing space of @screamverse-shawty aka Lilo, aka Muse. I've wanted to get into writing fic for years, and the first one I posted blew up a bit so I've decided to just throw myself in the deep end and here we are. Everyone who interacts in any way I literally love you so bad and I mean that, thank you!!!

The fandoms I write for now:

House of the Dragon

Game of Thrones

Scream

Stranger Things

The Devil all the time

My favorite characters and ships to write for:

Aegon ii Targaryen

Ramsay Bolton

Stu Macher

Billy Hargrove

Steve Harrington

Ramsay Bolton/Theon Greyjoy/Reek

Stu Macher/Billy Loomis

Billy Hargrove/Steve Harrington

Keg boys (Billy Hargrove/Steve Harrington/Tommy Hagan)

Lee Bodecker

Preston Teagardin

I'm partial to darker themes, power dynamics, and...you see Ramsay on my list so ahem yeah take that as you may. Also, I'm mostly comfortable with M/M and M/F, I'm opening to trying F/F but it may take me longer to get to.

These lists aren't hard limits so don't be shy with asks and requests, especially within the same fandoms. I don't have much a a body of work right now but I've watched and enjoyed a ton of shows so if you request something not anywhere on the list and Im down for it I'll try my best. Also just general questions about my interpretations of characters and really anything are more than welcome too.

And by the way, this is my old whump/soft gore blog and I'm kind of emotionally attached to everything on here so I won't be deleting my old posts for now at least. Have fun scrolling through those if you want lol.

Absolutely! Here ya go @halcyonexuberance!!

Clint Barton whump fanfics:

Teambreaking by: Arkada

Summary: The Avengers are supposed to be a team, but when the team turns into a sexual relationship, Clint just knows everything's going to fall apart, because he's asexual, and suddenly the team is something he can't be a part of. Being alone is the last thing in the world he wants, and he'll go to desperate lengths to keep his friends with him.

Coming In by Arkada

Summary: Clint's asexual, and he's been putting himself in Medical to keep it secret from the Avengers. Telling them makes things worse before they're better.

Not Alone by Arkada

Summary: Clint's asexual, and he's always thought he'll end up alone. Then the Avengers happen, and he's living with all five of them. Then all five start sleeping together, and everything falls apart.

Being different, keeping secrets, and coming out; none of it's easy, but it gets better.

Medical Emergencies by Era_Penn

Summary: Clint and Tony have a deal; Tony tells Clint if he has worse than scrapes and bruises, and Clint doesn't leave Tony alone with the doctors.

No one can decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

SOS Hawkeye aka 1001 Ways to Almost Kill Clint Barton by Sandylee007

Summary: Exactly as the title suggests. A collection of (mostly) independent oneshots or short stories where Clint Barton, alias Hawkeye, nearly dies.

A Hawk's Freefall by Sandylee007

Summary: On a mission that was supposed to be routine Clint/Hawkeye ends up getting badly injured. Has luck finally ran out or will the team and his own stubbornness keep him hanging on?

BlackHawk One-Shots from Ultron by KatieThomas'95

Summary: What will be a series of rewritten scenes from Ultron in which BlackHawk/Clintasha lives on. Obvious spoilers for Age of Ultron.

Words in Silence by Khashana

Summary: When Clint's hearing aids are knocked out by an EMP, Natasha resorts to ASL to communicate. Trouble is, ASL requires facial expressions, and Tony promptly sticks his foot in it.

Weaknesses Are Best Shared by Helenaholland

Summary: Clint has been keeping a secret from the avengers, he's deaf and only Natasha knows. When something happens during a battle how will the others react? And what will the impact of this be afterwards?

Thin Ice by AisforAWKWARD

Summary: For JadenGrace1's prompt, "While rescuing Tony, Clint falls through the ice of a frozen lake, river, etc. Cue lots of snark, angst, and more snark."

The Best Laid Plans by flashwitch

Summary: Five times the team thought Clint was acting strangely, and the one time they found out his secret. deaf!Clint and pairings are listed inside

Silence by Liliththestormgoddess

Summary: The five times the team thought Clint was acting strangely, and the one time they found out that he was deaf.

Just A Little Pinkprick by Harkpad

hey I’ve been seeing a lot around lately and I wanted to ask, if u don’t mind- what is a murderbot and is it good

HOHOHO BUDDY YOUVE COME TO THE RIGHT HYPERFIXATOR

I’ve only been listening to all of the audiobooks on repeat. The Murderbot Diaries is a series of sci-fi novellas and one novel about a sentient SecurityUnit android that breaks free of its governor module, aka the thing that denies it free will through threat of horrid punishment. The very first paragraph says it all really:

I could have become a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites. It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don't know, a little under 35,000 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.

Murderbot has a lot of issues and trauma because its corporate owners were horrible, but MB itself is still actually very kind, no matter how much of an asshole it acts like it is. It is a highly effective SecUnit whose purpose is to protect its human clients and it really doesn’t like seeing its humans hurt. A fan of whump? The books don’t exactly feed you the full spoonful of it, but between the intense anxiety, depression, anger, and paranoia that haunts all of MB’s obfuscatingly deadpan narration, as well as MB literally getting physically destroyed every moment it gets, there’s so much food for whumpy feelings.

Also, the world-building is super anti-capitalist, non-white-centric, and queer!! Antagonists and bad things are all corporate-related, most of the quite-large cast is black and brown people, nonbinary genders and neopronouns are all over the place (MB itself states repeatedly that gender is nonapplicable to it). Almost all of the characters who are in relationships are described to be in multi-person marriages, and you get a whole boatload of queer, f/f, f/femme, nb/f/femme/group marriage right from the get-go. It’s really a breath of fresh air because QTPOC just occupy this space in diverse multitudes, and while on one hand the corporate hellscape the series is painting is a horrible dystopia, the queer communal nourishment we get on the other hand feels positively utopic. It’s a comfort series, imo! MB is hilarious and grumpy and adorable. It has a lot of feelings and it’s always a treat to watch it process them (or don’t). Some parts are heartbreaking, but so far, the series has always set me gently back down on my feet.

I’m…very attached to Murderbot. Also to Dr. Mensah, its favorite human, who works to show her care in such attentive and thoughtful ways and is such a BAMF. Also I love ART, the supercomputer sentient AI space transport who is also an asshole, but together with MB, they are best friends and qpp and bitchiest buddies.

MB relies heavily on media and its own comfort series for relaxation and emotional regulation, and I just think that’s neat ;;

Give it a try and tell me what you think if you do~! each novella is around 35k, so a very doable read for us fic readers lololol

#murderbot #anon #god I fucking love this series #I started it and fell so deep

today is my 22nd birthday so i’m celebrating by reccing 22 of my favorite fics and giving my general thoughts about them.

atla

i'm still here by owedbetter (77.7, T, zutara) "You see me."And somehow, that makes all the difference.

thoughts: One of the first zutara fics i ever read and it’s still one of my absolute favorites. The characterization of all of the characters is superb and the gradual development of zuko and katara’s relationship is amazing.

such selfish prayers by andromeda3116 (47.6k, T, zutara) Katara's ambition, so long set aside for the good of others, breaks free and sets fire to her soul. Or, Katara has a vision of her canon future, casts it aside, and becomes a world-changing politician instead.

thoughts: while this fic is a zutara fic, the majority of this fic is centered on katara and her helping rebuild the world after the war and it does an astounding job of portraying just that. and honestly this probably has my favorite characterization of katara i’ve ever read in a fic.

Southern Lights by colourwhirled (501.8k, M, zutara) A world where the Avatar has disappeared from memory. Where Sozin’s Conquest was successful. Where the unsteady order of the empire is threatened as members of the royal family are picked off one by one and lines are slowly drawn in the sand.One last chance for peace forces an unlikely alliance between a homesick waterbender, a carefree Air Nomad, a runaway Earth Kingdom heiress, and the fire lord's inscrutable son. Together they must learn to shed old enmities and become the balance they seek to restore to the world.OR:The avatar has four heads.x[[Chapter 4: "And always, his eyes, cautiously watching her. Even when he thinks she isn’t looking. It drives her mad"]]

thoughts: when i say i was unable to put this fic down i genuinely mean that. like i’m pretty sure i was hooked from the very first chapter and i never looked back.

bnha

stickers and stars by aloneintherain (1.9k, G, gen) “Aizawa, are you sure I’m the best person for this job? There are a lot more qualified people on campus. People who have been teachers for years, and—”As All Might spoke, Midoriya Izuku crawled the length of the couch, ducked under All Might’s arm, and made himself comfortable on his lap. All Might’s hands rose into the air, as though unsure of what to with his arms now that he had a toddler curled against his stomach like a cat seeking the warmth of its owner.“Um,” All Might said.

thoughts: is it not enough to say ‘baby deku’ and leave it at that?

Butterfly by aconstantstateofbladerunner (198.8k, T, gen) The first over-night trip off campus since the training camp was supposed to be a fun break from more intense work back home. But between a bleak introduction to chaos theory, a chilly reception from the locals, and the looming threat of a villain attack, Izuku has too much on his mind to properly enjoy the fresh air. But those worries are a light breeze compared to the hurricane that accompanies what he finds on the outskirts of town.Or rather, what finds him.

thoughts: it’s incredibly well written and the horror aspect is so good. also the dad might in it is top tier.

villain eradication plan 5C: let them attack budding heroes mothers, wait appropriate time for mother to defeat them (3.4k, G, toshinko) Targetting the civilian families of hero students should be cakewalk. Pity they decided to go with Inko first.Or the one where Inko accidentally defeats the League of Villains.

thoughts: this fic is basically inko accidentally being a badass and it’s as hilarious and awesome as it sounds

see it all in bloom by aloneintherain (57.2k, T, tododeku, kiribaku, momojirou, bullying) Midoriya looked over the occupants of the room with butter soft eyes. “We should do this again. Seeing everyone in one place … it’s like we’re back in school again.”Todoroki said, “It feels like a family reunion.”(Social media fic, counting down the five months to Class 1-A's ten year reunion.)

thoughts: this series deals with social media + the lives of class 1a after they become pro heroes and it is amazing.

remember from here on in by aloneintherain (8.1k, G, gen) Aizawa glances from All Might to Midoriya quickly. It sounds impossible—he’s never heard of a quirk that can be handed down like a family heirloom—but at the same time, it makes perfect sense. Midoriya’s inability to use his quirk at the start of the year. The strange, familial relationship between All Might and Midoriya. The slow malnourishment of All Might’s body, like his power was being siphoned away.“You’re …” Aizawa begins.“I’m All Might’s successor.” Midoriya’s proud but shaky voice rings clearly down the empty corridor.Aizawa finds out about One for All.

thoughts: this fic deals with one for all being revealed to aizawa + midoriya getting more quirks and it is amazing

could i but teach the hundredth part by terra_incognita (5.2k, G, gen) Ito Matsu knows three things about her neighbor, Mr. Yagi: he's very skinny, he's very kind, and he has enough children to overthrow the Japanese government.Or:All Might is retired, but his former students keep coming up with reasons to visit.

thoughts: this fic is so lovely and i adore it so much

mcu

the talk by parkrstark (3.1k, pepperony) “Wait, man, what’re you doin’?” Rhodey asked, leaning forward.“Giving the kid his talk before he goes off to college.” Duh.Rhodey blinked. “At 3am when you’re probably too drunk to even spell your name, months before he actually has to leave?”“Yeah.”Rhodey blinked again. “Okay.”

thoughts: this fic is absolutely hilarious and poor peter is suffering throughout all of it

call you home by Madelinedear (19k, G, pepperony) sometimes family is who you're born with.and sometimes family is a spider boy, a rich not-dad, and a kickass aunt.(or; tony, may, and peter find a place in each other's lives)

thoughts: to me, this fic is the tony may co-parenting fic. like i honestly don’t think that anything can ever top it

I Never Lived 'Til I Lived In Your Light by losingmymindtonight (38.4k, T, pepperony, character death) As the world shifts to make space for Morgan Stark, everyone around her shifts, too. (As it turns out, this also includes Peter Parker's sleep schedule.)

thoughts: this fic is both fluffy goodness and heartwrenching angst and it handles both beautifully.

Lazarus, come forth by iron_spider (47.9k, T, pepperony) Tony's mind is a chaotic mess but he remembers the moment—remembers his death, remembers the red hot pain and Peter screaming, Rhodey rushing to his side. How he knew he’d never see Pepper again—but they’d fixed it. They’d fixed the world, erased the lost time, set things right—and the kid was back. The kid was crying, the kid hated him for doing what he did, but he was back. He was alive.Tony Stark was dead. But now he’s breathing again, trying to think, gasping, hands tracing the box surrounding him, covering him, suffocating him.He’s in a coffin. He’s under the ground. He’s under the fucking ground.(Tony Stark dies defeating Thanos. But then he comes back to life. He has to find out how, why, and how to live again. And how to deal with the changes in the people he's coming back to.)

thoughts: although this fic was written and finished pre-endgame but to me this fic is the fix-it fic for film.

Identity Saga by KitCat992 (400.7k, T, pepperony) An organically developed, platonic slow-burn of Avengers-fam dynamic with a heavy hand of Irondad & Spiderson. Throw in an overdose of whump, a couple of cunning villains and a big-bad hiding in the shadows, and you got yourself this hot mess.

thoughts: i just love the avengers dynamic in this series and the whump is medically accurate which is amazing.

college applications: the biggest meme by sagemb (3.3k, T, pepperony) Tony covered his face with both hands and screamed very gently. “Can I just bribe the school to let Peter in?"

thoughts: this series is absolutely hilarious and i love it

The Changeling + Armistice Series by Annerb (586.6k, M, hinny, rape) Ginny is sorted into Slytherin. It takes her seven years to figure out why.

thoughts: this fic is absolutely golden and i adore it so so much. the characters are so well written and the worldbuilding in this fic is fantastic and it actually has an original aspect of hogwarts (aka the parlor) that i practially consider to be canon at this point. also the depiction of slytherin house + house unity in this fic is just *chef’s kiss*

boy with a scar by dirgewithoutmusic (208.7k, T, hinny, romione, jily) A series of "what if" rewrites of Harry Potter, books 1-7. Cross-posted from tumblr (ink-splotch).

thoughts: every single one of these fics are exquisitely written and i wish that i could experience the beauty of this series again for the very first time.

Hogwarts, to welcome you home by gedsparrowhawk (FaceChanger) (11.1k, G, ginny) “You understand, Professor,” Harry began, after a moment, “that I don’t have my N.E.W.T.s. I never even finished seventh year. Between everything, I never had a chance the first time around, and then afterwards there didn’t seem to be much point. Hermione argued for it, of course, but I was so tired of Britain. So technically, I am completely unqualified for the position.”“Quite a way to begin an interview, Mr. Potter,” McGonagall said, dryly.Or, three years after the war, Harry Potter becomes Hogwarts' newest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

thoughts: this is my favorite harry as dada professor i’ve ever read. no doubt about it

And the Unethical Binding Contract by justafandomfollower (14.6k, G, gen) AU. What if the Triwizard Tournament took place in Harry's first year, not his fourth?

thoughts: this fic is beautifully written and i love the relationship that forms between harry, cedric, krum, and fleur.

Regulus Black and the Way Things Changed: A Not!Fic by imaginary_golux (8.8k, T, wolfstar) What if Regulus Black, and not Severus Snape, ended up being the turncoat Potions Master of Hogwarts?A not!fic written in bullet points, ignoring the Deathly Hallows entirely because they annoy me.Beta by my immensely patient Best Beloved, Turn_of_the_Sonic_Screw, and by the delightful starbirdrampant.

thoughts: this fic may be ooc at some points but it’s so funny that that makes up for it

spn

Broadway Musical by Griftings (12.5k, M, destiel) This is the day that marked the Holy and Blessed Union of Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle.The merging of prominent bloodlines is always a grand occurrence, but breeding pedigree hunter families like Winchester and Harvelle is something to be rejoiced. It is also something to be meticulously planned, which thankfully the Host is very good at.Or, the romantic comedy where Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle are destined to get married, Castiel is given the task of playing matchmaker and fails terribly, the entire Heavenly Host becomes a sitcom audience, God warns against male pregnancy, and Jimmy Novak is incredibly unimpressed with angels in general.

thoughts: this fic is quite possibly the single most funniest thing i have ever read. like i was straight up cackling when i was reading some of the scenes.

Down to Agincourt by seperis (1 million+, E, destiel) There is no such thing as a guarantee when it comes to war.The outcome's known. Why try? Return your rusty sword to battered sheath, bow your head and bend your stubborn knee. Why take the field when you cannot win the war? But Harry -- he went down to Agincourt.

--Harry Takes the Field by bratfarrar (AO3 link here.)

thoughts: this fic is an absolute work of art. the characterization dean and cas and all of the ocs is astounding the world building is immaculate and the writing is so detailed and in depth. a fair warning though to the first time reader as this fic can get very confusing at times but trust me it is worth it.

2020 fic recs

thank you to all the fic writers who kept me afloat and more or less sane during this weird, fucked up year. literally don’t think i could have done it without you. to pay it forward, here are some recs. it was really difficult to pick what to put on this list, but these ones did stand out the most in the end. still, my thanks goes to literally every fic writer ever, and especially everyone whose fics i read this year, even if they aren’t on this list.

disclaimer & some notes: a lot of these are older fics, because i discovered a new fandom and returned to ones i’d been taking a break from. but all were read during 2020. (did some maths and i seem to have read approximately 2.5 million words of fanfic this year?.....). also, tried to add warnings the best i could, please heed them and check the author’s warnings as well, just in case.

ok, recs are under the cut!

MARVEL

we could jump the state lines (we only get the one life) by @notcaycepollard | Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson | 33k | warnings: PTSD | Comment: a very unpredictable, intimate and complicated story of recovery and finding each other.

Covert Coffee & Flirtation Special by @glittercake | Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson | 5.5k | warnings: none | Comment: so much fun! i was cackling half the time and the identity porn really works.

Like Soldiers Do by @glittercake | Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson | 8k (ongoing) | warnings: canon-typical violence | Comment: there’s a lot of jokes and fronting here, but the intimacy and passion are what makes this fic so compelling.

There Is No Shortage of Blood by @albymangroves @dsudis | Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers | 246k | warnings: (a lot, including but not limited to) rape recovery, rape aftermath, rape fantasy, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, etc. please read author’s warnings | Comment: a harsh, desperate, gruesome path through recovery, shot through with a lot of love, care and community. there are no easy answers here, but the little wins are all the more awarding for it.

Just Stay Alive ‘verse by @dsudis | Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson | 85k | warnings: dissociation, ptsd, mentions of child murder | Comment: a really interesting story (almost a theory, I want to say) of how Bucky finds his place in Steve and Sam’s lives, the different ways they all connect with each other and what they become together.

Comedy Jokes by @softsams | Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson | 77k | warnings: suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, car accidents, body image issues | Comment: this was one of the first fics I read in the mcu fandom. a lot of regular, non-Hollywood appropriate aspects of human life are made visible in this story, and there is just so much humanity and compassion and holding space that happens here, that it blew me away.

Alexander Pierce should have died slower ‘verse by Lauralot | mostly no pairing, some Bucky Barnes/Alexander Pierce in the first few parts | 301k | warnings: literally so many. including but not limited to rape, rape recovery, ptsd, violence, etc. please read author’s warnings. Comment: a very different, more trauma-heavy take on age-play than usual. complicated, well-written, often also funny and sweet.

VENOM:

Drawn into Something ‘verse by Nonymos | Eddie Brock/Venom, Eddie Brock/Dan Lewis/Venom/Anne Weying, etc | 101 k | warnings: graphic descriptions of violence, vore(ish), consensual non-consent, alien rape fantasy, rape roleplay, etc. check author’s warnings. Comment: not really sure how to describe this one. it’s got all the elements of a good Symbrock fic - aka weird alien significant other stuff - but also polyamory with your ex and her current bf + a lot of really good (and fairly disturbing) kink. this description doesn’t do it justice, just read it (or the author’s summary at least).

came all this way (to hold our hand) by @alakeeffectgirl | Eddie Brock/Venom | 651 words | warnings: none | Comment: possibly one of the strangest things I’ve read this year? A strange mix of not-quite-porn and fluff. short and very satisfying (to me).

HARRY POTTER:

Chrysalis by starcrossedgirl | Harry Potter/Severus Snape | 85k | warnings: mental health issues, depression, panic attacks, suicidal ideation, reference to child sexual abuse, etc. please read author’s warnings. Comment: a really well written account of Snape’s traumas and Harry discovering them and trying to find the balance with their combined traumas . there can never be enough Snape whump.

Pacify ‘verse by Chickenpets | Harry Potter/ Severus Snape | 500k (ongoing) | warnings: again, so, so many. graphic descriptions of violence, underage sex, ptsd, torture, panic attacks, etc. please check author’s warnings. Comment: this is both a very interesting and extremely detailed retelling of the last two books (and beyond), as well as the greatest love story ever told, as well as a lovely description of a (morally extremely dubious, of course, but that goes without saying) hardcore bdsm relationship. I like bdsm fic where the bdsm serves a psychological or practical purpose and isn’t merely a kink, and this very much hits the mark with that. it also isn’t as simple as you might think. very, very creative and well-written.

Quid Pro Quo by anonymous | Harry Potter/Severus Snape | 88 k (ongoing) | warnings: past child abuse | Comment: a really nice account of a marriage of convenience turning into something deeper. love the sparse and obscure way Snape is written.

Under the Same Sky by @writcraft | Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter| 37k | warnings: none. | Comment: what I said about psychologically motivated bdsm applies here too – not bdsm, but kinky in a very compelling and casual way. don’t know if it’s romance with a side of kink or kink with a side of romance, but very nice either way.

#go forth and read #not the most uplifting stuff admittedly #but very good #and i dont do sad endings so rest assured there is light at the end of all these angst tunnels #fic rec #marvel #harry potter #venom #snarry #drarry #symbrock #sambucky #stevebucky #samstevebucky #ms

List of wips - aka struggles

Call Me A Jason Todd fic I started two years ago and still go back to poke at longingly, will the second and final chapter ever be posted? Who can know for sure.

I tell myself that I don't need Anyone (But the truth is no one needs Me) Another Jason Todd fic I haven't completed, posted two years ago for whumptober, it was the only day of whumptober I participated in, intended to be full of Captain Atom and Jason Todd interacting during the fall out of Bludhaven getting chemo'd but he doesn't show up in the first chapter and have you ever tried to read Infinite Crisis? It's a fucking mess. With this wip I have a close to justifiable excuse in that I refuse to write without knowing the canon, and reading through all the canon that's relevant is A Task.

The Monster in The Man A Merlin fic floating around my drafts, currently at a good bit over 5k wherein Merlin gets POSSESSED by an old enchantment gone mad. Written because a Merlin fic I read ended on a horror style cliffhanger and I couldn't handle it so I charged my way through the first 2k of a sequel and I've been adding to it ever since. Angst with a hopefully happy ending, if I ever frikking finish it.

The Dragon Lord In the aftermath of his father's death after Merlin inherits his father's dragon lord abilities he notices some minor changes to his interactions with his friends, the thing is that Merlin is a dragon lord and unusually what he hoards is people, things might just turn out the better for it.

Maelstrom A Naruto time travel fix it fic that wouldn't leave me alone until I got the first chapter out, ironically it has left me entirely alone since I finished the first chapter and I have no idea if inspiration for it will ever return or when that will be.

You Don't Know Anything Long long ago in a land of asks and a time of legend @paradise-runway sent me a fic request for "one where the other Bat boys find out the circumstances of Jason's death and resurrection and their reaction?" it has been lingering in my drafts haunting me ever since, someday, someday I shall fulfill what has been promised.

Of Curses and Covenants A longfic exploring the magical underbelly of Gotham's history, focuses on the intertwined relationship of the Wayne Family and the Zatara Family brought about by how often Waynes through the generations have ended up being cursed. I have an index of all the curses ready, the problem with this one is the plot and the story.

Vicki Finds a Bat (temporary title) Vicki Vale stumbles upon a still alive young adult Jason Todd at a wafflehouse on the way back from snooping into Cobblepot's latest criminal schemes. Convincing the young man to go back home to his loving father might prove more of a challenge than she thinks however. (will have a happy ending if I ever fucking finish it, for now it looms in my drafts like an unhappy gargoyle)

Hug Deficit A fic about Jason being touch starved and his family fixing it, hurt/comfort all the way, post resurrection.

Stephanie Brown and The Mansion of Man Pain Robin Era Steph, she and Alfred have pumpkin spice lattes together, it's their thing because I say it is. Includes, Alfred raised 5 boys counting Bruce, he's not sure how to handle a little girl and Bruce trying to dad plus Steph trying her best. Would be a lot easier to write if I was any good at comedy.

Another Time, Another Place Some twenty years or so after their death, Martha and Thomas Wayne appear in the middle of Wayne Manor's ground floor parlour room, the major problem with this? Not only are Bruce and Dick away, Alfred's on holiday in England! Which is why Jason as the eldest has been unwillingly nominated by his younger siblings to deal with the situation at hand. Martha and Thomas in this are heavily inspired by @unpretty's amazing portrayals in her fics with them.

- Queen Blackfire and the Lazarus Lord An au with Soulmate identifying marks: Jason Todd was having an okay time as de-facto leader of The Outlaws, a band of misfits and rebels with hearts of gold (or at least silver) saving the world the best they could and filling in the gaps the more straightforward heroes tended to miss while they were at it. Then he found out he was soulmates with the Alien Warrior Queen bent on declaring war on planet Earth if the Justice League didn't find her soulmate for her. Things with his friend, team mate and potential future sister in law Kori just got super awkward and the only good thing he can find about this situation is how angry (and protective? But maybe he's just imagining that) Bruce seems over the whole thing.

Side note: Kommand'r freaked out during the years Jason was 'dead' and accidentally brought peace to a huge chunk of space and intergalactic society via building up her empire after throwing herself into work to escape the grief.

- To Grasp The Hand of a Fox Naruto and Kurama travel back in time to save the world but unfortunately they land in the same moment that Kurama's just been put under a genjutsu by Madara Uchiha, Naruto has to make his way to Konoha and wake Kurama up before the villagers seal him away inside Mito. Can he save his friend in time to save them all?

Those Winter Sundays Mcu fic. Snapshots of Tony working hard for the avengers and no one noticing. Civil War Team Iron Man.

- Salvation Rides a Solar Wind Iron Man fic in a Science fiction / Western style fic where Tony's presence is described through the eyes of the aliens he helps. Au where the war with Thanos goes very differently. The type of fic that needs like 5 multi chapter fics in a single series to truly shine, hence why I will likely never finish it.

And We Break Away Again Jason goes back to Talia after Damian is brought back from the dead by Bruce. It's not that he begrudges his little brother his resurrection, the opposite, but he can't ignore what Bruce did to him by taking him to the magdala valley and he can't ignore what Bruce doing for Damian what he didn't do for him, (do for Dick, do for any of them besides the blood related one) means. So he decides to go back to the only person who ever seemed to understand why he wanted to avenge himself in the first place, the only person who seemed to agree that he had a right to be angry that he'd died at all, the only person he can trust to hold him together while he feels like he's falling apart that won't judge him against the heroic mold while they're at it. Not sure if this will be a oneshot or a series but we're going good Talia with this one regardless, DC's been ruining her lately but through fanfic all things are possible so fuck them.

Fan The Flames In the aftermath of a magical fire taking hold of the Daily Planet in Metropolis, Superman is missing, can Batman and the rest of the Justice League find their friend as well as the identity of the evil arsonist before Lex Luther does it first?

In a Whisper (In a Wish) Ichigo Kurosaki protects people, it's not just who he is, it's what he is, down to the core of his very soul. The only problem is, that a few weeks ago he sacrificed half his soul to protect the world. It aches inside where he knows something important used to be. When everyone he cares for is avoiding him and he's starting to feel more like a shadow than a person, that aches at him too and he can't help but wish, quietly, privately, painfully, to himself if no one else that things were different, that he wasn't so broken or so alone. But if wishes were fishes they'd fill a whole sea (just be careful not to whisper them within the hearing range of the Hōgyoku).

An Honest Conversation (Is A Bitter Thing To Crave) Jason kidnaps Bruce but things don't go as Bruce expects. First of all the reason Jason was able to kidnap him was because Stephanie of all people was his insider, why would she support someone Batman knows she's only met once. And second of all the reason he's been abducted - So that Jason can drug them both with the same substance. And when Bruce asks what he's doing this for Jason only responds, "We don't trust each other enough to have a truthful conversation otherwise" and refuses to say anything more while they wait for it to kick in. What will be revealed by this forced honest encounter on both sides? -

carrying the world on thin shoulders Midoriya Izuku deserves better from literally all the adults in his life so this is part whump part hurt comfort part fix it fic that sprawls out from time to time but it's pretty bad tbh, at some point I'll probably make it neater and give it something resembling a coherent plot. Hopefully. -

Trust Issues HP fic. Harry gets dosed with a potion that's supposed to reinforce your strongest survival instinct, the person who drugged him might've intended to be helpful but said potion happened to be at extra strength and he was given what would be a normal fix for the regular version but for this one is twice the recommended amount. Great.. The biggest problem about all this - beyond his internationally wanted godfather Sirius endangering himself by hiding out in a cave near Hogsmeade against all rational advice, his best friend Ron hating him, everyone in school besides his other best friend Hermione also hating him or avoiding him and the entire Goblet of Fire problem - is that he can't bring himself to trust anyone enough to tell them what's wrong.

Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies A post marvel avengers story, thor pov probably, made because I like to dive into a pool of thor & loki sibling feels sometimes: Starts off as Thor regales his new human shield brothers with the story of his banishment and return to Asgard ending with Loki falling into the Void and the Avengers have some questions, questions Thor had not thought of, remarks on things that Thor doesn’t know how to explain away. After he goes to Loki’s cell and asks him some things he becomes more and more angry despite having no one he can punch > Gets drunk and criticises Sif and The Warriors Three after they try to calm him down > mention of Loki still being underage by Aesir standards during Thor 1 seeing as Thor was being crowned due to being of age in the movie > heavy inspiration drawn from queen regnant by peaceheather. “For while the Treason I detest, the Traitor I love still.” Currently just an outline.

Separation Split personality disorder Red Hood and Jason Todd, alternatively, Red Hood is a demon/parasite latched on to Jay. A lot of work necessary considering right now it’s currently just an idea inspired by a cool tumblr fanart.

A Trinity of Head Wounds The dcu trinity in the aftermath of a fight against some alien invaders (or something along those lines), whump, hurt/comfort, starts with them arguing, ends with them bleeding on each other in a friendship way, whole thing should take place in a single room on the watchtower and be a oneshot so it's gotta be a short and sweet one-two gut punch with the feelings which is difficuuult.

A Stark in The Stars an mcu fic, a really over complicated mcu fic, mostly because of Steve Roger's timeline fuckery, Tony's alive but he's not supposed to be, but so are a lot of people who were dead but aren't now you might say what with the snap and the blip. The thing is that Steve's timeline fuckery is making it so that everyone keeps getting confused between the two different timelines of events, obviously more confused the more that their characters were connected to the films/the events that were altered, the punchline of this particular fic though is that Tony's still alive and he's unaware of the timeline of events where he died. And as he's currently in space he's also unaware that everyone on Earth thinks he's dead (because why wouldn't they? he died in endgame after all). That makes this fic super tough to write because like ultimate unreliable narrator right here and not sure how to tie in the whole 'oh wait actually everyone on Earth thinks I'm dead because of the canon timelines' thing in or at what point of the story to do that at. The fuckery of it all gives me a headache. Plot is hard. Also all of that's basically background to the actual focus of most of the fic thus far which is Tony travelling around space in an Iron Man suit up until the point where it won't be background.

Magic Chained Merlin au. When you put magic restraining cuffs on Magic himself you don't just bind him you bind all magic the world over. It is therefore, infinitely lucky that Uther Pendragon never became aware of this fact.

A Child in The Cold bnha Midoriya deserves better also Recovery Girl and Aizawa have shit to answer for as far as I'm concerned.

#i have #so many #wiiiiiiiips #there's probably more hidden in various word docs but #blah #personal

Bookdancer's Writing Updates

hey so it's currently been a bit since i last posted or updated anything (according to ao3, the last time i did so was late february), so i thought i'd just give a list of what i've been working on

fics i've actively been working on and adding words to:

The West Wind Comes Walking

Lord of the Rings, gen

Summary: Boromir wakes up where he died. There’s still blood on his tunic, and holes where the arrows pierced him, and an echo of the oath he bore for Aragorn in his last moments… an oath he swears to uphold even in death.

currently less than 3k words but i don't expect it to be a very long fic, anyway. i'm just kind of daunted by what i want to write and worried that i won't do it justice

yes the title is from the "Lament for Boromir"

working title 1

Haikyuu!!, gen

no official summary yet, but it's a social media AU that covers the 2020 summer olympics mostly from the eyes of fans and reporters

yes i have been working on this since before 2020. no i am not changing anything now that the actual olympics are almost here and i'll probably finish the fic after them

this fic has 5.5k+ words and i still have a ways to go; it's taking a bit bc as fun as making a social media AU is, it also gets fairly repetitive at times and i'm trying to make it not do that

this is us trying, aka JZX+MNMN Bromance the Fic

MDZS / The Untamed, gen

Summary: 5 times Jin Zixuan and Mianmian have each other’s back, and the 2 times they don’t.

only 2k words right now, but i've finished 3/7 sections so we're further along than the word count suggests. i may also expand one or two of the sections, we'll see

title is from Taylor Swift's song of the same title bc i adore it

fics i should really finish at some point bc i already started them:

carry me into the flames (and set my heart on fire)

Spider-man & the Fantastic Four, Spideytorch AU.

Summary: Johnny is the only one to return from space without powers, but none of his teammates understand why it bothers him so much. The only one who even tries to understand is the weird new superhero who runs around with spider powers, swings by the Baxter Building for impromptu gaming sessions, and catches Johnny when he falls — figuratively and literally. And then Dr. Doom attacks while the Terrific Three are on mission, and Johnny’s whole life goes to hell in a very flammable hand basket.

i've had the beginning of this written for forever now and i'd really like to finish it at some point

Dear Mondays

MDZS / The Untamed, Wangxian modern day college AU

Summary: Lan Zhan’s new work lands him his own desk, or at least it’s his own until a second student joins the office. Lan Zhan works Mondays and Wednesdays, Wei Wuxian Tuesdays and Thursdays. They never see each other, so all Lan Zhan knows of the other boy is that he’s perpetually messy, enjoys making paper clip strings out of their shared office supplies, and has an incredible gift for making the sharpies run out of ink. Then he gets the brilliant idea to start leaving Lan Zhan notes, and Lan Zhan… well it would be rude to not write back, wouldn’t it?

i started this forever ago, have 3.5k+ words written already, actually really like what i have finished, and yet haven't touched it in months. i blame the fact that Jin Zixuan wanted to be my one and only favorite MDZS character

Liven My Body

The Hobbit, gen, Groundhog Day AU

no official summary yet, just "Bookdancer attempts to whump every dwarf who ever existed". but basically during the Battle of Five Armies, Kíli's battle restarts every time Fíli dies. the fic actually extends far beyond the actual "groundhog day," exploring the consequences and rewards of what happens

we're at almost 14k words, it's still not finished, i started it back in 2015 and no i'm not kidding but i wish i was. please let it end

fics i haven't started but do want to write

working title 2

Harry Potter, Draco-centric. possibly Drarry, possibly gen, 100% the redemption arc Draco deserved

Summary: In their 6th year, Hermione takes the boy who would annoy Ron most to Slughorn’s party—this boy is not Cormac McLaggen. Aka Draco gets a totally legitimate invitation into Harry’s group that he won’t take advantage of at all. The result is change—not of everything, but some things. The important things.

i have this fic planned out more extensively than most fics i write and yet i have still not written a single word for the actual fic

learning to love the pain

911 on Fox, gen from Eddie's POV but Buck-centric, checking vital signs pt. 4

i have a summary but no confirmation that that's the plot i'll be sticking with so for now it's just the time Buck prioritizes Eddie's well-being over his own

as you may have guessed from the above point, i have no clue what i'm writing for this so far. all i know is Eddie's POV is definitely coming before Bobby's (who will take pt. 5 of the series)

like every other fic in this series, the title is adapted from The Score’s “Born For This”

Whumptober 2020

so i'm not sure what fics will be going here but again, i promised you guys that i'd write a fic for every prompt. i haven't written anything for Whumptober since October but the plan is still to finish all those prompts

#if any of these fics particularly interest you don't hesitate to let me know #right now they're all kind of at equal levels of importance in my eyes #so if i know i have people looking forward to one that may bump it up #writing updates #my fic #my post #mine #the west wind comes walking #this is us trying #carry me into the flames (and set my heart on fire)#dear mondays #liven my body #learning to love the pain #whumptober2020 #working title(s)

director's cut! "wide enough and wild" ch 3, from "Foolish, impulsive man." to "The night will be cold." aka you made this lovely au where wangxian gets to be happy and then GAVE LAN ZHAN HIS CANON SCARS ANYWAY you BASTARD WHY (i love you)

Foolish, impulsive man. Wangji huffs his displeasure, straightening to help him, and doubles over instead as pain sears across his back. His hands dig into the dirt, fingers clawing as the distant sting of discomfort blooms to bright, angry agony from shoulder to waist. His vision skitters to black for a moment, and Wei Ying is abruptly at his side. Wangji can only see his knees, skirts dirt- and blood-stained, but the sound he makes is one of broken shock, and for a long minute there is only the rasp of their twinned breathing.

“What—?” he croaks, and even that twinges.

“Lan Zhan. Your back.”

He undigs his fingers from the earth and reaches, hissing, to feel. Wei Ying’s hand catches his before he can touch, and the motion brushes just beneath his shoulder blade. It drives through him, a bright spot of pain rippling out.

“Don’t, don’t,” Wei Ying says, voice high and frantic. “You’re bleeding.”

He takes a breath, and another, and makes space for clarity. Slowly, carefully, he unbends himself, ignoring the way Wei Ying flutters and hisses at the motion. “How bad?” he asks, kneeling upright. He can feel it properly now, a steady throb in time with his heartbeat. He turns his head to Wei Ying, his pale face. His eyes are slow to drag away from Wangji’s back, and he shakes his head.

“I don’t know. It’s— I can’t tell.”

Methodically, Wangji flexes his hands, his elbows, his shoulders. He tips his neck forward and straightens it again. He sets his feet into the earth and rises, legs flexing. It sets his back to throbbing, a loud and branding pain seared just beneath his skin, but there is no weakness, no loss of movement nor lack of feeling. He will survive.

Wei Ying squawks, tripping upright, and sways like a river reed as soon as his feet are planted. Wangji catches him by the elbow.

“You—” Wei Ying starts, the rest of his sentence lost in the dizziness. “Careful,” he finishes pathetically, squeezing his eyes shut. Wangji does not let him go.

“We should descend.”

“But— your back.”

“There is a stream below. It will be easier to assess the damage after cleaning.” And Wei Ying needs water, and rest, and to wash the blood from his face. They will have to camp for the night regardless, and Wangji would rather it not be upon this exposed patch of dead land. He would, truthfully, like to settle as far from it as they can for nothing more than his own peace of mind. The very sight of the blackened earth turns his stomach.

Wei Ying’s face twists in displeasure, but his disagreements fall away. Wangji suspects he is too tired for it. It is perhaps shameful to be grateful for that small mercy right now, but that does not stifle his relief.

Still, it is a long walk, halfway propped against each other, picking their way through the scree to the treeline below. Wangji’s back throbs. Wei Ying slips and stumbles and sweats in the chill air. The breeze is too sharp; it digs at them. The night will be cold.

wide enough and wild, chapter 3

Boy oh boy. Yeah let’s talk about that, huh.

Okay so, first, I will admit it felt a little cheap to give him the scars, but once I considered it I couldn’t un-consider it. Part of it was that I love nothing so much as a canon nod and I felt very smart making the connection (references and parallels are very much my jam and I spend enormous amounts of time while writing AUs thinking about what specific details are referencing canon, and how, and why). Part of it was that Lan Zhan would absolutely put himself between Wei Ying and danger, and it was too good a chance for some hurt/comfort and whump and cementing Lan Zhan’s place as Part Of The Sect Family and all those other gooey tropey things that were the entire reason I decided to write the fic in the first place. And part of it was that I seriously needed to fuck him up so we could get the endgame happening.

Going into this fic I wasn’t actually sure how much of a fix-it it would be. (Going into this fic I was like, oh, it’ll be a few thousand words about Lan Zhan farming with the Wen remnant, it’ll be fine but clearly I vastly underestimated my ability to go feral over soft wangxian.) But I did know I wanted a scene where Wei Ying destroyed the amulet, because part of this fic is about shedding the things that hold them back. Over the course of the fic, Lan Zhan rids himself of nearly everything outwardly Lan about him—brother, robes, regulations, even his ribbon, eventually; there’s a line in chapter one I think about him being chrysalized and he comes out the other side transformed. In Wei Ying’s case, everything holding him back is internalized, so letting him be able to say “this is harming me and I am done with it” was really important to me as part of the wish fulfillment of writing this.

But also, I knew the ritual was going to go wrong, because a) I am a sucker for whump content and b) I wanted the nod to novel!canon. (Lan Zhan’s fever dreams include Wei Ying’s show!canon death at Nightless City as a reflection/processing of the what-if of being ripped apart by the seal which is neither particularly clear nor important but that is what’s going on in his head, fun fact.) I actually put a lot of thought into how a ritual would work, and what it would require, and why the array was needed and what precisely Wei Ying is even doing up on that mountain top (bonus fun fact: the spot of grimacing humor he has at the top of the scene is him thinking about how similar the location is to where WQ took out his golden core).

And then Lan Zhan was just, y’know, there, and I was like “oh it’d be sexy if he shielded Wei Wuxian from the blast” and then I was like “wait it’d be sexier if it gave him the scars; I am so smart and clever” and thus, this.

But besides the hurt/comfort tropes (and my own satisfaction), I needed Lan Zhan to act in such a way that would lead to the endgame, which at this point was a big ol’ question mark. (I didn’t realize it was going to be Xichen until I got to the fever dreams tbh, and even then I wasn’t sure it would be Xichen and not Jiang Cheng.) One of the things going on in this fic is that Lan Zhan is an active agent almost exclusively in ways that pertain to Wei Ying, because it’s my AU and I get to choose the tropes. (He takes himself out of the narrative, etc; yes this song was constantly in my head while I was writing.) All of the political, external stuff gets handled by just about everyone else, and happens pretty thoroughly offscreen, and that made it lowkey a nightmare to write the ending in any sort of satisfying way (thank u mischief for your help). But they needed the nudge, and this was the perfect setup for it—this decision, to take the blow for Wei Ying, ends up being the domino that tips off the endgame.

The scars were just icing on the cake.

fanfic lingo crash course

cause sometimes i feel like im speaking a different language. i tried my best to get everything, although i dont read or write nsfw so i didnt really get into that.

note: original work in this post refers to the thing that the fanfic is being written about

genres

fluff: cute and happy. nothing bad happens. -domestic fluff: usually two people who are married or in a relationship doing cute everyday things together such as making breakfast or taking care of their kids etc. the focus is on the fact that the two people are together -slice of life: similar to domestic fluff. is a story showing two people, usually married or in a long term relationship together, going about their day. focus is on the fact that the two of them are experiencing daily life together. -soft fluff: where one or more characters treat another very gently, or are stupidly enamored and/or caring towards the other person. usually shown through hair stoking, cuddling, etc. sometimes is also a component in hurt/comfort.

angst: a major component of the story is something bad happening to one or more characters. can be physical or psychological. can be intentional or unintentional (ex. a murder plot as opposed to a car accident). -angst with a happy ending: the character or characters overcome the physical or psychological abuse/torture/accident (often with the help of another character) and the story has a happy ending •hurt/comfort: a sub genre of angst that is usually a combination of angst and fluff. most commonly, a character gets hurt/abused/tortured/is in an accident/is having mental health issues and another character patiently helps them through the situation/nurses them back to health/etc. hurt/comfort does not always signify a happy ending but it is very common. often times the comfort portion of the fic is very soft as the character caring for the hurt character is concerned. may result in a realization of feelings. -angst with no happy ending: the character or characters do not overcome the physical or psychological abuse/torture/accident resulting in a sad ending. often includes character death or breakups. -whump: torturing a character emotionally, psychologically, or physically to their limits and beyond. character becomes so damaged that sometimes it is irreversible. the whumper refers to the character inflicting the torture, the whumpee refers to the character receiving the torture and the caretaker refers to the character taking care of the whumpee in the aftermath of the torture. can include hurt/comfort.

crack: a humorous fic that is often out of character or has the characters doing something that is ridiculously stupid. examples include fics where characters are high or anything that makes you laugh your ass off at 3am

nsfw: not safe for work. includes fics where sex or sexual activities is a component. there are many sub genres of nsfw but im not familiar enough with them to write about them.

types of fics/character behavior

canon: refers to the original work that the fanfic is derived from. (aka the tv show, book, movie, musical etc) (anything that is outside of the realms of the original work is considered non-canon compliant) -canon compliant: implies that the fic could fit into the original work or plot that the fanfic is written about. could also refer to characters behaving the same way that they do in the original work. -canon era: the fic takes place in the era/time period/timeline that the original work does. (ex. if the original work takes place in the 1800s and your fic takes place in the 1800s, it takes place in the canon era)

au: alternate universe. refers to the characters of an original work being put into a timeline/era/storyline/situation that does not appear in the original work. the characters themselves and their character arcs usually remain the same. also a broad term for anything that is not canon. (ex. single parent!au, space!au, firefighter!au, the list goes on) -modern era: refers works that include characters from original works that are not set in present day being placed in a present day timeline. -historical au: refers works where characters are placed into a time line that takes place in the past. (ex. world war 2 au) -canon divergence: an au where the fic strays relatively little from the original work. there is often a point of departure from the timeline of the original work, commonly in a characters backstory. (ex. au where everything is the same except perry the platypus’s nemesis isnt dr doofenshmirtz) (dont clown me that was the first thing i came up with) -fix it: a fic that is written to replace a dumb scene in the original work. these types of fics are common in tv show or movie fandoms. (ex. fix it where steve rogers didnt go back in time and live out his life with peggy in endgame and instead had a happy ending with bucky) -ooc: out of character. where a character does something or behaves in a way that they did not in the original work •evil/good![character’s name]: refers to one specific character’s behavior straying from canon by either becoming the hero if they were the villain or becoming the villain if they were the hero. •character redemption: refers to making an evil character or villain good by having them overcome their negative behavior.

there are obviously more, but these are the most common ones ive found

IFD Author Showcase - oopsabird’s SamiCharlie (Wonder Woman 2017) Works

Hello all! Since today is February 15 was International Fanworks Day, I thought I’d get around to something I’ve been thinking of doing for a while, which is a masterpost of all the Wonder Woman (2017) fics I’ve written for the pairing Charlie/Sameer! Yay!! Shamless self-promotion time!!

Click under the cut for all 15 of my works for this ship in the order I originally posted them! Plenty of reading to fill up your reading week or procrastinate whatever you “should” be doing lol

Unfortunately this probably won’t show up in the tags due to the amount of links it has, so reblogs would be super super appreciated, as are comments and kudos from those of you who click through!

These works represent the small public part of the huge amount of writing growth I have had in the last two years, and a big effort to build a ship tag from the ground up with my friends, and I am so so proud of them!! Every word of a comment or kudos means the absolute world to me, as making these fics has helped me rediscover my creative self again after so many years of being estranged from that part of me - they are an expression of creative joy.

Hope you enjoy!

1. And In The Morning [1838 words]

If that snowy night in Veld had been the calm before the storm, this sunrise was the stunned quiet in the wake of the hurricane. The moment to look around and take stock of what made it through the vicious night - and what didn’t.

7. take my heart (clean apart if it helps yours beat) [4147 words]

This thought more than any other makes Sami’s heart twist in his chest; he wishes he could turn back time, lift the troubles from Charlie’s mind and give him the peace he deserves. Steve says this new mission of theirs could end the war, and while Sami isn’t quite naive enough to wholeheartedly believe this, he quietly hopes that it can be true, because he isn’t sure how much longer they can hold on otherwise.
