For @greyhavensking!

Happy holidays - I hope you enjoy!!

I really enjoyed this gift exchange - thank you to everyone who helped set it up. Happy holidays to y’all too!

Oh wait I should say what the fic is about. Um. Established relationship mid-WWII Bucky and Steve look at fireflies. but it’s not angsty I promise! :)

So "Baby It's Cold Outside" was written in 1944..

I can't help but picture Bucky and Steve singing it together. Bucky trying to convince Steve to stay.

(The "Baby you'll get pneumonia and die" hits dif when Bucky sings it to tiny Steve)

Imagine them slow dancing to it. Imagine Steve hearing it the first time after Bucky goes over seas.

Imagine Bucky hearing it once he's with Hydra, while out on a mission, and it makes him remember fuzzy, pleasant things. A small man with a smile that made his heart melt.

Steve hearing it after he wakes up in the future and crying cause the song is still here but *Bucky isn't*

Or, alternatively, they just miss it cause of the War, and they hear it the first time in the future.

They understand the romantic context and it makes them feel a bit mushy and happy cause something from their time made it this far (they feel a little less lost ya know).

Imagine them swaying in front of a candle lit/fireplace lit, cozy room, while its snowing outside just... softly singing this to each other.

(My heart is just mushy at this thought as a whole)

the inexplicably bizarre science of writing fan fiction. just me, or can anyone else relate?

this is the dumbest thing i’ve drawn with my bare minimum art skills but i am so mad right now, and i just… had a moment of insanity during my fanfic spiral.

edit: “time to get to work”. there’s a typo because of course there is.

That almost happened in CACW, right? ;)

hi, i'm your stucky secret santa! i know you said you didn't have any preferences but i was wondering if there are any particular tropes you're fond of?

Hey! Omg this is exciting! There isn’t anything I like NEED in whatever you create but I do love shrunkyclunks. Like a lot (I mean who doesn’t?). Honestly, anything fluffy/just plain stupid like truth spells or body switches or jealous misunderstandings or anything would be amazing. Angst isn’t usually my thing, and probably no smut, but honestly I’m sure I’ll adore whatever you make!

Come here... I got a secret for you pssst come ‘ere

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Psst you ready here comes the secret

Here it comes

I am also very curious about this secret

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Your time spent enjoying the creative process is infinitely more valuable that any final project you create. So stop putting yourself down for never finishing or posting those WIPs because every moment you spent creating something you loved is a moment not wasted. Your progress and talent is measured by your passion not your number of posts.

This post went from 3k to 7k overnight and that just goes to show how many of you need to hear this so make sure you don’t ever forget it

just........here in the south and in the midwest i think we have earned the right to be frustrated at the constant condescension we are having to endure from people who don’t live here. the fact that georgia is blue is the result of the very hard work from georgians, specifically black women, who have been climbing up this damn mountain for years. it is literally exhausting and boring to keep acting like we’re just vast amounts of empty land full of dumb hicks when the sunbelt is the fastest growing region in the country. fort bend county is literally like the most diverse county in america. the 3rd and 4th largest cities in the country are in the midwest and the south, respectively. stop
