#twr fic
Note
hi I love canon jily but I'm in the mood to read some aus, can you please suggest your favorites?
Hello, anon! Honoured that you reached out to me even though I haven't done these in a while and I'm quite behind on my reading, sadly! But here are some of the best AUs I've read in the past year or so. You can even head on over to my bookmarks on AO3 if you want more recs:
The Wedding Ring by @mppmaraudergirl - this one's a no-brainer. TWR!James is a wet dream, and Lauren does the pining in this story justice like no one's business (rated M)
We Have Buried the Putrid Corpse of Liberty by @mabeltothknows - I promise this fic will make you laugh until you piss your pants. Mabel is the funniest author I know, no joke.
for the hope of it all by @missgryffin - This is not exactly an AU, because they still do magic, but the entire story is based on a beach setting in the summertime, and that's my absolute favourite trope in the world! (rated M)
The Season by @missgryffin - A Bridgerton AU that's better than Bridgerton. Need I say more? (rated M)
bury it and rise above by @startanewdream - this one's canon-divergence in which Lily is a witch and James is a muggle, and Mah spins literal magic through her storytelling. It's heartfelt, beautiful, and perfectly gorgeous (rated M)
Who Knows Who Cares by @the-dream-team - The most adorable bi!Lily fic out there, I promise you. It's got all the right ingredients to make your heart feel warm and fluttery. Dylan's talent knows no limits ❤️
The Waiting Game by @possessingtheproperspirit - I read this late last year and the concept of it was genius! Kept me laughing from start to end. Highly recommend! (rated M)
Controlled Addiction by @hogwartslivy - I'm nuts about this fic and it's no secret. The story has an amazing setting, lots of interesting reveals, and such a sweetheart James 😍 (rated M)
If We Never Meet Again by @thequibblah - Actors!Jily AU; it's a unique, genius concept! Lots of pining, drama, the perfect amount of angst. Became obsessed with the story as soon as I read it (rated M)
Burn Easy and Easy Does It by @efkgirldetective - Anything Emma writes is pure gold, and these AUs never fail to stun me with their brilliance no matter how many times I re-read them. Plus, her smut is always exquisite 😏 (rated E)
oops I did it again by Anonymous - I don't know who the author of this fic is, but this is one of my favourite AUs of all time. The James here is to die for, it's incredibly easy to fall in love with him (rated E)
I'm sure I've missed out many other amazing AUs out there, but this list would become endless if I kept going. Please free to add on for anon in case someone has more recs (I'd love to read them, too!)

Fic Stats Tag Game
Rules: Give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words.
Thank you @danpuff-ao3 and @likelightinglass for tagging me! I've got an hour to relax, and this is just about my speed at the moment: something fun but not demanding. (One hour, my arse. It took me three days!) Who else would enjoy doing this? @ac1d6urn, @ripeteeth, @squibstress, @yletylyf?
Most Hits
The White Road, Snarry, 48K. I knew the answer to this one without having to check. TWR is my most popular fic by every metric and the one most Snarry readers know me by, not to mention it's old enough now to be a high school sophomore (or possibly an A level student). I'm happy I somehow managed to pull off a nonlinear fic, plus I was so, so in love with the Snarry ship and all its possibilities, and I think that shines through. I let myself explore Lily's character and responded in fic to the way Snape's story ended; gave Lily and Severus one last chance to face some hard truths; and - well, no need to flog it, there are just a lot of scenes in this fic that make me clutch my heart to this day. And I let myself be a bit romantic about my OTP! With a happy ending and everything! (Okay, I'm always romantic about Snarry, but you can't always tell that from my fics.)
If you have any desire to hear me natter on with more Writerly Thoughts about this fic, I recorded an interview with ChaosBlue over here: Fanfic Maverick episode 25
Second Most Kudos
Soft Touch, Snarry, ~15K. This was a sleeper hit. I never expected it to be popular, and it's not a fic people love, exactly. But the combination of mindfucky unethical massage kink plus character study brought readers to the yard - although, really, I doubt it has much to do with the "character study" part. I'm going to cheat here and borrow a bookmarker's comment to describe it: "Very sensual almost eerily so. Actually somehow slightly creepy at times yet very seductive at others. A weird read." I like how they can't seem to make up their mind! Because, yeah, IMO the appeal lies in that uncomfortable overlap between sensuality and creepiness, and the touch-starved atmosphere that hangs over it all.
Third Most Comments
The Afterlight, Snarry, WIP, currently at 46K. This is one of three melodramatic and, yes, romantic Snarry WIPs on my plate - ridiculous amounts of whump and/or emotional turmoil, plus a triple whammy of overwrought happy endings (but only after I put them through hell). Apparently after the last 10 years of Life Shite, my fannish desires are all about shameless self-indulgence now. This one has a serial killer subplot that's giving me conniptions, but I'm in love with the ending so I need the fic to get all the way there. It also ponders, in a "one dark thread running through the whole work" sense, what it means to die and come back, and I'll just say that Snape experienced death very differently than Harry did. I suspect this fic has as many comments as it does because readers were kindly encouraging me to continue after years of me not posting very much. I'm currently finishing up a Snape/McGonagall fic, but The Afterlight is next on the menu.
Fourth Most Bookmarks
Warm, Snarry, ~11K. Hah! My PWP made the list! It's also a character study of Snape and Harry with an established couple dynamic, but come on, those bookmarks aren't about the settled kind of domestic bliss. They're more about the "naked by the fireside fucking each other's brains out" bliss. I wrote this fic for a prompt and to help me scrape the rust off my creative wheels after several years of writer's block. In doing so, I found that porn without plot doesn't come naturally to me. Or established relationship, either. Where's the angst? I muttered constantly to myself about the paucity of sexy anatomical slang and the problems with pacing a fairly drama-free fic. (Solution? Don't write 10K words of PWP when 3K words will do.)
Fifth Most Words
The Blood of Stars, Snarry, WIP, ~44K. This is the fic that started my journey into the melodramatic & romantic combo, but it hasn't been updated since 2014 (aka The Worst Year of My Life). However, it's alive! I've picked it up again and have been scribbling and revising scenes in between working on three other fics. This was also the start of my So What If It's Messy and Imperfect phase, which is a challenge as a perfectionist but a necessity in my current circumstances if I presume to have delusions of ever finishing anything ever again. It's a challenge in another sense, too, since I committed myself to writing Harry's section in first-person POV, just to see if I can. (The jury's still out on that.) It's also got book-ended sections written in third-person Snape (an obscure and hard-to-master dialect)(kidding), and I'm not terribly confident writing from his POV, either. But the fic's got one of those can't-stay-away-from-each-other plots (I love these), and Harry being unfaithful to Ginny (yes, I know, don't send the OOC police after me). It's full of emotional flailing and obsession and beloved characters behaving badly and Snape coming to a tragic end - but wait! There's also Love after Death and Snape having meltdowns and in the end sort of getting everything he ever wanted. In case it isn't obvious, I am wallowing like a pig in mud. I love this fic. 🥰
Fic with the Least Words
Truce, Doctor Who, Twelve/Clara, a classic drabble of 100 words. This won't make sense to anyone who hasn't seen their series arc and the last encounter between them. It's a drop in the bucket of my undying love for them, but alas, my fealty has already been pledged to my endless Snapely WIPs. But Twelve and Clara deserve so much more than I'm able to give them.

Top 5. Fanfic authors :) Or if you feel like it: Top 10
Ooh hello hello! Thanks for the ask! Also for the "more" allowance, as I'm notoriously bad at staying within the allowable number of anything 😂 More is more!! I'll make a solid effort to stay within 5 if I can, so let's see!
perverse_idyll (@perverse-idyll): Longtime fave. As in...when was The White Road first posted? '08, '09? Since then, essentially. I read TWR and was sold and I've been sold ever since. PI is such a thoughtful, sharp, crafty, passionate writer. More than that, we are very closely aligned in how we see the characters and dynamics and she writes in a way that feels so honest and true to who they are. All of her work is so gorgeous and real and forever strikes a chord in my soul. All the better now that I can call her friend and know that she's just as fabulous a human as she is a writer! :)
Writcraft (@writcraft): Another writing crush turned friend! They have written so many incredible stories across multiple pairings, though in the beginning I only read Snarry of course! They have such a great variety, not only with fandoms and ships, but genres, from darker and angstier works (Tangled Web, Dirge Without Music) to more wholesome and romantic stories (Friends of Dorothy, Luck of the Draw.) I love their focus on different types of relationships, and especially appreciate the dedication to queer themes that feels both celebratory and validating, for all of the joy and hurt of the queer experience. (How We Were Warriors for queer themes & history, A Life Worth Remembering for polyamory.) And the boldness in some works that feel more experimental and different (Breathless for a poetic second person POV, Birdsong for the creepy horror.)...If I remember correctly, Hector's Arms was my first Writ fic and I clicked on their profile and happily gorged myself on their other works. And found not only fics I didn't know I needed, and have reread time and again (Broken Promises, Shattered Dreams; A Lion's Heart; Loved You a Long Time), but also one of my favorite fics in general, The Beating of This Fragile Heart!
Arrisha (@arrisha-ao3): Brilliant, brilliant writer! Also a ruthless sadist I'm pretty sure. I am deeply in awe of the emotional devastation she leaves in her wake. The brutal angst of it all is truly, truly admirable, my hat is off to her for that. And while Ab Intra, Ab Extra and The Syntax of Things are brilliant...I am extra in love with her shorter works, Loose Ends and Molly's Advice. I like to think I'm an angst lover, but woo-boy does Arrisha make me wanna grab a white flag sometimes. She knows just where to pull on those heartstrings and strangle you with them. (I feel like this is coming across as both rude and terrifying, but I could not be gushing more, I swear.)
drawlight | ripeteeth (@foxconfessorandthewolf): Though their works aren't currently online right now, still a favorite. The Forest King!! I loved that fic. The Lighthouse Keeper...Strange Pilgrims...Suspiria...so many goodies. Their writing is truly phenomenal (even their original writings I had a peek at!) The stunning and vivid and gritty prose, that manages to be both poetic and sharp as a knife. GOD. Killer writing. 10/10. I have their works saved to my Kindle 🙏 And I'm always excited when I see their works on AO3 again! Have to mention them since they are truly one of the best and I have all the love for them AND their work!!
eldritcher: Their work is so strange, and in the most unique and lovely of ways. "Strange" can seem so rude but I know they know what I mean by it! They craft their works with such purpose and thoughtfulness and with such great love for words and imagery and mythology. All of their works are ripe with meaning, and strung together with such artistic precision! There is nothing out there like eldritcher's works, I swear, and I am in LOVE with what they do. I discovered their work through @consistentsquash's rec for The Tumtum Tree and had to devour what more I could find! Dithyramb, Pasiphaë, Ariel, and other great snarries! I am eagerly awaiting the final chapter of The Lamb of Tartary! Then other interesting tales and ships in The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, Plenitude, Exaltation, Once of Eden. I am so amazed of their mind and their craft and am forever excited to see what else they're working on!!
I could probably carry on with more, but I think that makes for a nice solid Top 5 list...😅 Though if it bothers me too much I'll come back later to reblog with more 👀 Goodness knows I've read a lot and there are many creators I admire so so much!! 😌

On my 3rd rereading of the wedding ring and can say I’m still super excited about this fic. IT’S SO GOOOOOD! is there by any chance any notes or a snippet about the engagement part from James side? Always wondered what went through his mind with Lily’s/everyones reaction. Off to continue reading 😍♥️
thanks for the lovely message 🥹 coming up on three years since I wrote TWR, it's still immensely flattering to receive comments and questions about it.
I have an entire doc of requested scenes/info from James' POV for TWR and this part specifically was not in my notes, but I can tell you that James meant every word that he said to her at that point, and her reaction worried him more than anything. When he had time to reflect on it later, then he let himself sit in self-pity/embarrassment (which he'd berate himself as irrational--after all, he had no reason to expect that Lily'd take his words for real and confess them back, even if that had been his deepest wish), but not at the time. He saw how upset and overwhelmed she was afterword and his concern was focused, as it was the entire story, on being there to support her.
#the wedding ring#is it time for another reread#is this going to send me spiraling AGAIN#GAH#twr my beloved

tw: talks of Jake being violent. Not my fic.
Enthralled by how much inner hate Jake might have for Izzy this author’s au (the same one as TWR)
In the fic JSOTP he just found out he’s the son of grim and goes to live with him because of his [dead] mother’s wishes they read her journal and he KNOWS that grim is abusive as his hit and got violent towards his mother after they had Jake AND he also fought Grim with grim KNOWING that Jake was his son. So what the he do??? He goes with grim :| so now he’s basically with grim and it’s only day one and the relationship is already abusive.
Anyway back to the first bullet point. Jake whenever he slips into a dark mindset he always gets pretty violent and at worst concerningly rapey. His target usually being Izzy for the most deadly if others are involved. Case in point this fic, he’s glaring at a knife and saying what he wants to do these guys: Wendy - see how much she can bleed if he stabs her. - Cubby- Fat so he needs to lose weight~blood weight. - Skully- fried chicken. - Izzy- “that... pink wearing wretched little witch... I'd say her heart should meet this knife...”. Do you want her heart on a sliver platter too Bitch damn!?
#he’s made at her (well of them) because he thinks they’re trying to keep him from fulfilling his mom’s wish to live with grim#*mad#when they’re like ‘DIPSHIT she sent you away from grim because she knew he was violent. why are you trying to fulfill something for a woman#you don’t know??’#I don’t remember much of this fic tbh#but apparently he does something his crew mates Izzy in particular as he knows he has to do ALOT to make it up to her#and she stays away from#him#jatnp#pixie yaps abt fics

Hi, dot! 10, 11, and 31 for the writers asks, if you’d like!
hello friend i would love to! thank you for asking! <3
💛 writers asks! 💛
10. Top three favorite fic tropes.
I'll preface both this and the next question with saying I think a good story can come from pretty much any trope, since tropes are just building blocks at the end of the day! But off the top of my head, three that make my particular brain worms dance are:
Non-linear recovery
friends to lovers
grief as an expression of love
11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated.
AGAIN! see above, anything can work if it's in the right story, but for me, these ones (in the most GENERAL terms) don't quite hit the mark on their own/ aren't what I'd usually seek out:
celebrity/ famous AUs
traditional/ biological family AUs (specifically for canonical found family characters)
coffee shop AUs
(YES i like AUs in general please don't let this make you think i don't fjalksdfj other tropes just feel too broad to judge in this capacity)
31. What was the most difficult fic for you to write (but in the end you made it?)
this might be cheating since I'm not technically finished with it yet, but I'm like this close and can genuinely see the ending in sight, so I'm gonna say The Golden Afternoon.
I'm not sure what about this fic has been so tricky to get down on paper since I've known where it goes since I was still writing The White Rabbit, but I've just needed more breaks from it than I usually would.
I'm feeling really good about how the final chapter is coming together though, and clambered over a writing wall for how I'm stringing the ending together, so I think it counts! I'm so excited for you guys to be able to see that whole story completed too, since I started writing TWR just about a year ago I think oof. it's been a labor of love and one I think I'll be proud of when it's done <3
#ask#wip game#once i'm done with femslash week i think i'll be able to knock out the last few scenes of GA pretty quick!

How do you feel about Fake Dating and Mutual Pining?
I think fake dating is a B-, I've read fics where I really really enjoy it (TWR by @mppmaraudergirl is a standout, she killed it 10/10) but the concept of it makes me nervous because it seems really stressful lol. like the pure logistics of it would drive me, personally, insane. but power to the fics that pull it off, woof
mutual pining is literally A+ chef's kiss I knight thee best of all tropes, cannot say enough good things about it, a necessity, a prerequisite for all fic imho. like if they're not silently agonizing about their feelings then where is my payoff. if there are no longing glances then what I am I doing here. I didn't sign up for insta-love BS, I want them to work for it!!!

i was in the process of writing a comment on TWR when i saw your reblog of the unpopular opinion meme so i thought it would be funny to give you something that *might* piss you off and the immediately follow it up w/ incoherent rambling about your long fic. anyways. positive thoughts about fanon soukoku(dazai and chuuya)
YOU ARE WRITING A TWR COMMENT? Anon???? I’m hugging you very tightly in excitement???????? Or showering you with mushrooms and assorted flowers whatever you prefer. Also I love this because it implies:
a. you’ve followed me long enough to know I have more of an enemies to lovers relationship with soukoku than they have with each other
b. that you know I hate fanon soukoku specifically, making this ask evil evil evil. I’m DELIGHTED.
Okay you know what I love about fanon soukoku? Their balls to the wall determination to love each other. Like. Come hell or high water, one thing will always be true about them and it’s that, deep down, the other person is their one and only. They can hurt each other and be toxic and deadly and unhealthy as hell but the other person is still, and forever will be, the first person on their mind.
There’s something so devastating about Dazai fucking off from the PM and yet still having one tie back that he can’t bring himself to cut, you know? And the knowledge that they understand each other on a level that can only be achieved by growing up together…I gotta give it to em. Few ships do “miraculously intact binary star system” like fanon soukoku does.
Also, also, there’s something real healing about two extremely damaged people who should, on paper, be extremely unhealthy for each other…being…good for each other, regardless. It’s hopeful, and it’s compelling, and I really do enjoy it.

They Were Roommates.
Loki has to stay somewhere in the TVA and if he was working for them then its a little mean to leave him in a cell... or at least that was Mobius' argument, so he took one for the team and has Loki move in with him... A purely selfless act....
AKA: Loki learns to be a good person, an okay roomie, and a not so good at being a menace to society (unless society bugs him)... and slowly falls in love with Agent Mobius.
AO3
Chapters:
Loki does not blush
Loki does not need sleep
Loki does not sulk
Loki does not need a babysitter
Loki does not do nicknames
Loki does not feel... stuff
Loki does not have to rush anything
Loki doesn't say please
Loki doesn't have friends
Loki does not snuggle.
Loki does not think about Mobius.
Loki doesn't do kindness
Loki does not do relationships, anyway.
Loki does not watch a movie
Loki does not die
Loki does not obey rules
Loki doesn't not love Mobius
Loki does not do it on purpose
Loki does not care about fate
Loki doesn’t love. Ever.
Now complete!

I Know That Song (With You Pt.2)
Summary: Maybe it is love? PART TWO OF “WITH YOU”
Word Count: 1456
Warnings: mentions of sex, nothing explicit
A/N: Takes place in the MCU, Nat isn’t based on the comics nor is relationship, we can pretend this is before A:IW and just as if though Buck hadn’t stayed in Wakanda. not my GIF
A/N 2: It’s all superficial right now, but maybe i’ll give it a part three and show what (y/n) is made of and why she was a ‘therapist’! :3
WITH YOU PART 1
Bucky was fuming, raging, pacing back at his quarters. How could he do that to him? After he just admitted to still being in love with her? This was his best friend! Wasn’t there some kind of code against that?
“You going to tell me what’s bugging at you?” Natasha said, emerging from the bathroom. Bucky didn’t even glance at her as he plopped down onto the bed. His hand in his hair, tugging a bit roughly at it, annoyance filled him to the brim. He never would have thought Steve would do that.
“You shouldn’t do it, James,” Natasha said from beside him. Bucky looked at her. He hated it when she was right.
(y/n) and Steve found themselves at his apartment. (y/n) smiled softly at the familiarity of it, she slipped off her (preferred formal shoe type) and padded her way around his living room. The soft taps of her feet drew Steve’s attention. He draped his jacket over his couch and smiled. The soft light of the moon peeked through his blinds ever so softly, lighting her skin like moonlit lakeside.
“You look like a goddess,” Steve whispered, (y/n) stopped and stared at him, Steve stared back before blushing darkly, looking down.
“Sorry, that just- came out. That was too much,” Steve said looking back up at her.
(y/n)’s eyes were glassy and her smile was watery.
“(y/n)!” Steve exclaimed with worry, god he’d made her cry. He thought it was a compliment, it was? Wasn’t it? Was it too much? Oh god. His mind raced as he approached her. (y/n) put a hand over her mouth and her body seemed to hunch over. Steve felt himself panic.
But (y/n) erupted in broken laughter. Steve was confused, his brows furrowed low as they did when he focused.
“That was so sweet,” (y/n) said between teary, laughing, breaths, “I-I haven’t heard anything like it in so long. So long.”
Steve’s heart ached at her words. His strong arms enveloped her and she hugged him, her arms, softer and her fingers barely touched around him. Steve could feel her smiling against him. He smiled into her hair.
“I forgot how it felt to be loved like this,” (y/n) whispered and looked up at him. Steve had pure love in his eyes for her. (y/n)’s had something akin, but not the same, and Steve could see that. It hurt him, but he knew he couldn’t ask her to love him and trust him so quickly. Not when she felt she could be so easily betrayed by even those close to her.
“Let’s sit and talk,” Steve suggested, “do you want some coffee?”
“You got any wine?” (y/n) smiled bashfully.
“I do, actually, (y/n). The kind you like. From when we’d have game nights with the others,” Steve said and led her to the couch. She sat and Steve turned to head to his kitchen. But he heard her padding footsteps again, he looked back at her and he didn’t even see her as she wrapped her arms around his torso, hands on his chest, her cheek pressed against his back.
She felt clingy but she hadn’t felt so safe and secure in so long she no longer cared, she needed this. She wanted this. To feel close to Steve.
Steve only stood still and slowly turned so they were facing one another. He gently took her hands in his. He looked at their hands, so different. His wide and pale, hers small and tan. He smiled at her. (y/n) felt like melting when he did. It was dazzling, charming, and loving.
He was beautiful beyond belief. A different kind of handsome than she saw in Bucky. Bucky was rugged looking, charming, aloof and suave at the same time. He was like a giant soft bear, his sweetness hidden. But Steve, oh, Steve.
His sweetness was written all over, in his eyes, his smiles, his tiny laughs, the way he looked around when he was nervous and unsure. His kindness and awkward charm. And those were only his physical attributes. He was perfect. (y/n) could feel it and she never wanted to let go.
Steve looked down at (y/n) and slowly began to move, Steve hummed a tune. A 40’s tune, one he always liked, because it reminded him of himself and who he wanted to be.
(y/n) swayed with him, still looking up at him, before recognition stirred in her mind.
“I know this song,” (y/n) said softly and began humming with him.
“You do?” Steve said with surprise.
“I got to admit, Steve, though I feel really embarrassed for some reason...i adore learning about the 20s all the way to the 50s, i love the history. And when you popped out of the ice, it peaked my interest even more, so yeah, I know the song, lots of songs actually,” She said feeling her face heat up. Steve chuckled, she was blushing, in a way, her face never got red, she’d have to be lighter for that, only the very tips of her ears could ever give it away.
“Can you sing it?” she asked, “I promise I’ll sing with you.”
“Only because you promised,” Steve said with a smirk. (y/n) grinned and nodded.
“He's not so handsome, he's not very tall,” Steve sang, a little out of tune, but it was the best he could do.
(y/n) laughed, “And in the smart set, he's nothing at all,” she continued as Steve twirled her. She gasped and laughed some more. This was a dream. It had to be.
“He was the first one to answer the call,” Steve hummed back, gazing deeply into her eyes as he pulled her close once more. He was lost in her, all of her, everything. He touched her cheek, stopping their dance.
“That soldier of mine,” (y/n) crooned, her voice cracking just at the end as Steve held her, cupping her cheek. She leaned up into him and kissed him deeply. Steve’s hands slipped to her jaw and neck, holding her there as they kissed. It was everything he imagined it to be. Just like in the elevator.
“Steve,” (y/n) whispered, pulling back only slightly, breathless, “i think I do love you too.”
Just outside the apartment, with his enhanced hearing, Bucky would hear it all. He was biting down on his fist, forcing himself to not cry. He’d lost. He loved her and he lost her. He should have been happy for her, for Steve too. For being happy. But he couldn’t. He hated it. He hated it all. He let out a frustrated growl. He couldn’t let it stay. If he couldn’t have her. Then no one could.
(y/n) ended up spending the night at Steve’s, tangled in bed sheets, with murmurs of I love you and in the native language of (y/n)’s home. Steve laid there now. He was an early riser, (y/n) was not, he knew she’d be up at around nine, it was currently six. Instead he turned his head, taking in her sleeping form. (y/n) had never been an angel in sleep and Steve saw a beauty in it. (y/n) was nearly always composed and calm and seemed just in place, but in her sleep (y/n) finally looked the one way she could not achieve while awake: at peace.
Steve leaned down and pressed a kiss to her bare shoulder. (y/n) stirred but did not wake.
“You’re something else (y/n),” he whispered, “I didn’t think you could ever love me, I denied it for so long. But this is better than I ever dreamed.” He gently shifted to spoon her, it was so comforting. With his face near her neck she smelled oh so lightly of sex, Steve smiled bashfully at having part in it.
Steve stayed with her until she woke, thirty minutes earlier than he’d expected.
“How’s my soldier,” (y/n) murmured. Steve grinned like a dork. (y/n) loved his smile.
“He’s doing great, thank you, and you madam?”
“Oooh, madam, i like that,” (y/n) teased and sat up, stretching out her arms, she was naked and Steve still blushed at the very sight of her breasts.
“You’re adorable Steve, you just saw me naked last night,” (y/n) teased, she knew he still had some of that old school Steve Rogers in him.
“Habit?” Steve suggested, (y/n) only shook her head with a smile.
“Get used to it, darling,” She winked and Steve smirked. There was his playful (y/n).
“You should start washing up, you have a mission today,” (y/n) said then and slipped away from him, turning her tone to business. Steve knew the tone well. He started getting up too when he realized. His mission. Was with Bucky. Damn.

Writing Mode: Off. Binding Mode: On.
The downside to this is I made the mistake of posting the first chapter of Wasted for Love because I was impatient to share and now I don't know when I'll be able to post or write more. 🥲 This is why I prefer to have things completed in full before posting. (This is why smile with sweet surprise gets once a year updates 🤣) But ah well...Fandom is meant to be fun so I'm going to try to not stress or feel guilty about it.
("Try" being the operative word.)
In the meantime, this leaves me more time to bind fics! I only have the 3 I did in round one, but now I'm rebinding The White Road (I'm hoping thicker chipboard will hold the thicker leather better) and then...In Between Days! After that I might bind my Snarry Bang fic 👀 Snarry Bang starts posting next week so probably it will be all posted by the time I'm ready to bind it!
(Side note, while I was finishing up my TWR textblock yesterday my partner called me his "adorable book builder" and the way I BLUSHED 🥰)
It's good for me to remember that I have more to contribute to fandom than just my writing. I have fics to bind! And to rec! And meta to share! Comments to leave! And even if I'm too low on spoons for any of it that's okay, but that last lesson will be the hardest to learn so for now...for now I'm celebrating my wins!

Six sentences Sunday
@missgryffin thank u my love!!
from Good Old Fashioned Love Letters Ch. 1! (this entire first scene is inspired by one thing: “Pivot! Pivot!”)
And so Lily had moved into a flat at the top of a rickety building that looked like it was designed by an architect looking through a kaleidoscope, and which was managed by a singularly upset matron named Irma Pince, who disapproved of any and all non-regulation, brightly coloured furniture.
That didn’t stop Sirius, naturally.
“Move! For the millionth time, Black, your stupid, stupid—”
“Oy, watch where you’re throwing that thing, Evans. Some of us need our organs.”
“Well, quit being an obstinate dick and I’ll let you keep them.”
This stairwell is not made for modern day furniture.
tagging @tiffanytoms @scriibble-fics @emeralddoeadeer @arianatwycross and can I double tag @mppmaraudergirl as a humble offering to the faerie gods (Lauren) for a desperately desired (by me and all) TWR 15 snippet? it truly haunts my dreams (in the best way ofc)
