My recent fics
MCU
Damn the Torpedoes // Stucky
Steve as the single dad from Gifted and Bucky as the DJ from Monday. Sort of.
────
Series: A Man Takes His Sadness Down to the River (The Consolation of Philosophy)
A post-TFATWS Endgame Stucky fix-it where a lot needs fixing.
1. The Same River, Twice (The Man Is Still Left with His Hands) // Stucky
Steve had meant to stay forever and didn’t last a year. He meant to return right back to when he left, but that doesn’t work out the way he planned either.
Turns out a lot can happen in nine months.
.
2. Still Left with the River (The Paradox of Motion) // Stucky
Coming back from as good as dead to a changed world is easier the second time around. But then Steve supposes that, like with most things, you get better with practice.
.
3. Not Language but a Map (The Grammar of Sensation) // Stucky
Steve has never felt right running away from a fight, even if the fight is with unanswered questions. But it’s not running if it’s a road trip and the oldest, thorniest unanswered question is along for the ride.
.
4. Lost Vocabularies that Might Express (The Memory of These Broken Impressions) // Stucky
The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away. How’s that for some consolation on the road?
────
The Art of the Possible // Sharon-centric, minor Sharon/Bucky
Maybe whether you’ve picked the wrong side depends on where you’re standing—but if you can’t tell who the sucker at the poker table is: it’s you.
Sharon before, during, and after Madripoor.

Red White & Royal Blue
Series: What the Living Do
The distance is hard, but they're making it work. Post-film.
1. The Better Part // Henry/Alex
Henry has no reason to be in New York, no acceptable public excuse, just a three-day gap in his schedule and a boyfriend he hasn’t seen in six weeks.
Six weeks and two days, his mind supplies. For a moment he considers blaming that knowledge on how the American election is an easy date to remember.
Instead, he texts Alex: We’re apart for weeks but my body misses you in days, in minutes.
.
2. Magna Carta Libertatum // Henry/Alex
“Besides which, I think it’s somewhere in the fine print on being boyfriends. As you’re my first, I may have to refer back to the designated powers and duties, now and then. I haven’t learnt them by heart yet.”
Alex is quiet for a moment and when he speaks his voice is softer, more thoughtful. “I think we get to draw those up ourselves. The position of boyfriend and the officially designated powers and duties therein.”
“Oh,” Henry says. “Well. I’ve never gotten to declare my own powers before. Constitutional monarchy and all that.”

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Till the Ductile Anchor Hold // Juliet & Sidney
Sometimes, beginnings are like that, slow and gentle until you find yourself in the middle before you realise there was anything to begin at all. Endings, too. Sometimes.
&
Chasing Liberty
Truthfully, Once If Strangers // Ben/Anna
Anna sits on the low stone wall that edges the road and watches him wait in line. She admires how his shoulders look in the leather jacket and how his neck is lovely but so masculine, before getting distracted by his Adam’s apple, which she’d really like to skim her teeth over.
&
A Discovery of Witches
The Probable Stars // Diana/Matthew
That’s the way of the world, Matthew remembers: you break the things you are fondest of.
(Or, what about those discarded clothes?)
────
Like Gold to Airy Thinness Beat // Diana/Matthew
Diana climbs into his lap and his hands immediately come up to steady her. The book he’d been reading slides off the bed with a thud. Her fingers are clumsy as she works down the line of buttons—she doesn't think about why, doesn't care—and, finally, she can touch his cool skin.
See the rest on AO3!
