Okay this is your reminder to write that totally self-indulgent fanfic to give yourself some much-needed joy in life because I am having the time of my life working on this Winterghost fic lol and it's honestly been such a stress reliever lately

panther_princess: Ok but you don’t have to do everything together. Slip away and go somewhere private 😉😏❤️😘 Whitewolf616: I’m not gonna do that panther_princess: Why not Whitewolf616: I told you it’s a group thing panther_princess: You’re adorable when you’re in denial Whitewolf616: I’m not in denial!!!!!!!!!!!!!! panther_princess: Your excessive use of exclamation points would suggest otherwise Whitewolf616: Ugh you know what I’m not talking about this panther_princess: Bucky and Ava sitting in a tree 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 Whitewolf616: Smh I never should’ve introduced you to Yelena she’s a terrible influence panther_princess: 😘😘😘😘😘😘 Whitewolf616: Will you STOP

cucumbers-mom: Oh she’s ALWAYS flirting with him. It’s disgusting 🤮 panther_princess: Does he flirt back cucumbers-mom: Yeah and he sucks at it 🤪panther_princess: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 cucumbers-mom: He was supposedly some kind of rizz god back in the day but I think he’s lost his touch

Walker grimaced. “I’m not on a dating app–” Ava leaned over his shoulder. “Well, then who are you texting?” He jerked his arm away. “None of your business!” Yelena smirked. “No, John, please tell us more about your mysterious online paramour–” “I don’t have an online anything, Yelena–” “Oh, lemme see that–” “Augh, Ava, get off!” The conversation descended into chaos. Walker’s shrieks of protest rose above the clamor while his arms flailed around in an attempt to escape both Ava’s and Yelena’s clutches. Bucky could barely contain his laughter as he watched his teammate dart away from the girls, his eyes wild with panic. He swerved around them and then sprinted towards the lake, where Bob was already hovering by the dock. “Bob! Bob! Hide my phone!” “What? Why–” “JUST TAKE IT!” Alexei ran after them. “This is not proper team bonding! I said no electronics!” Bucky shook his head, still laughing, and headed down the trail behind his teammates. This trip was turning out to be many things, but relaxing definitely wasn’t one of them. “Bob, lemme see. Just a peek. Please?” Yelena was standing in front of Bob now, whose face was frozen in a mask of pure terror. Her voice had taken on that sugary sweet tone she only ever used with him, and she was gazing up at him with wide, pleading eyes. Bucky saw the man’s cheeks flush bright pink as she continued edging closer, stopping just shy of pressing her entire body against him. Bucky bit back more laughter, but inside he couldn’t help but feel sorry for his friend. He knew what it was like to be at the mercy of a relentless flirt (although to be honest he wasn't entirely sure if Yelena was aware that she was, in fact, actually flirting) who knew all too well what buttons to push.

Look I know I'm grasping at straws but the more I contemplate this the more I realize it was absolutely unnecessary for their faces to be this close in this scene like Bob just turned into a shadow monster and obliterated half of New York and Yelena is gone like why are we

WIP Wednesday Spoilers(ish)

Since I don't know when I'll get to start it, I'm just going to go ahead and spoil the premise of the Boblena fic I'm (hopefully) planning. People are asking questions about Bob and who this random guy hanging out with the New Avengers is, and Val is losing her patience because she wants them to figure out how to "activate" the Sentry again without also triggering the Void. In order to throw Val off-balance, Ava (who is the president of Boblena nation and also has a hidden agenda) suggests they pretend that Bob is Yelena's boyfriend as a PR stunt. After some reluctance they both agree to this scheme, which then results in a lot of...them acting exactly the same as they always do because they're always hanging off of each other anyway, but played up even more for the cameras. So now they're parading themselves around acting like Hollywood royalty and looking like this

and Val is slowly losing her mind because what on earth are these idiots doing, how is this supposed to help with the Sentry issue? But the press and social media are eating it up and she can't do anything to stop it without incurring major backlash for interfering with America's newest sweethearts. Meanwhile there is absolutely nothing real going on between Bob and Yelena whatsoever, nope, nothing to see here, it's not like they're actually enjoying the fake dating AU or anything. Ava is in the background eating popcorn while watching all of this go down and Bucky is losing his mind trying to get her to stop inciting chaos but she refuses because this is way more fun than just being a normal superhero

[writerxwren]

Real life is getting in the way of the next fic update but I'm playing with the idea of Bucky "I'm not in denial about anything" Barnes accidentally calling Ava "doll" as an automatic reflex and then their reactions are just

Bucky:

Ava:

Bonus: Yelena who's been eavesdropping probably

I love you Winterghost fanfics where the vibe is just this

FINALLY HAVE ANOTHER LONG FIC WINTERGHOST IN THE WORKS! 🎉🎉

Something something with Bucky trying to seduce Ava for over three years (talking about cooking for her, taking her around the city, making excuses to be in her space) but she’s been completely oblivious.

Something something with Bucky finally snapping and telling her point blank and Ava realizes he’s been trying to seduce her but she never noticed.

Something something with Ava deciding (now that she’s on the same page as him) that she wants to give this a go and try to be seduced by her man.

🦾👻

[writerxwren]

Hyperfocused too hard on this fic and forgot to eat dinner lol but I'm almost done with the next chapter, here's some more highlights

He caught Ava eyeing him. “What? I like this song.” Ava grinned. “I’m just impressed you remembered who Fleetwood Mac even is.” Bucky made a face. “Look, I may be old, but I’m not that out of touch.” “Right. Says the man who thought Labubus and LuluLemon were the same thing.” His cheeks flushed a stupidly adorable shade of pink. “They sound the same!” Ava rolled her eyes. “No, they do not!” “Yeah, they do. It’s all the ‘u’ sounds. Bubu, lulu–same thing–” “Okay, Boomer.” “You know nobody says that anymore. And technically that’s the wrong generation–” “Well, the point is, you’re ancient.” “Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious. I thought we’d established that already.”

-------

“I’m not dreaming about anybody!” “Sure, Jan!” Yelena hollered from the back seat. Bucky’s jaw clenched, and Ava felt a small lurch in the pit of her stomach. Okay, maybe she’d taken this a little too far. “Why don’t you tell us who you’re dreaming about, Yelena?” Yelena coughed, far too loudly than was necessary. Ava caught sight of her yanking her hand away from where it had just been toying with Bob’s hair. “Oh, shut up, Ava.”

------

Ava followed his gaze to the horizon. A lake stretched out below them, ringed by a tapestry of green. The water glittered like gold in the sunlight, and she could hear the faint sound of waves lapping against the deck at the bottom of the hill. “Yeah,” she murmured, relaxing against the chair cushions. “It’s beautiful out here.” “Hmm,” Bucky replied, so softly she could barely hear him. Somehow she got the impression that he wasn’t looking at the view anymore. Ava hid her grin behind the rim of her mug. “So,” she said after taking a sip. “You ever gone camping before? I mean like, real camping. Not this luxury nonsense.”

[writerxwren]

Ugh I don't have TIME for this why do I want to write a Winterghost OUAT In Wonderland AU where Ava is some lost warrior princess version of Alice or something 😭
