Just in time for Halloween, here is a brand new fic featuring Vampire Bucky and human bartender Clint. Because the story takes place over three days, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I thought it’d be fun to post the chapters accordingly. 

Oh Negative - Chapter 1 Thursday by LadyLadyLady

Rated M

Beta by @noxnthea

Fills @winterhawkbingo round 3 square G1, Barney Barton

Summary: “Well alright then. In case it wasn’t clear, everyone is welcome here, vampires included. Anyone who has a problem with that can kindly find a new bar to haunt.” Sam emphasizes his words by pointing the end of his bat around the room, making sure to stop at Brock’s old table.

No one speaks up for a beat.

Then they hear a throat clear.

Clint and Sam snap their heads behind them to the door they’re still blocking. On the steps leading up is a shorter man, but he and Sam are pretty tall, so that’s nothing new. More noteworthy is his chiseled jaw, his tangle of dark, shoulder-length hair, his metal arm, and the fact that he is, unmistakably, a vampire.

Role Model & The Long Game Tandem Read

I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted to put together a tandem read chapter list for these two amazing books. I haven't actually done this yet but maybe when I finally get my hands on the physical copies of these books? (the new covers are great and i can't wait!!)

0. Halloween with Ilya (posted here on Rachel Reid's website, a short and sweet story taking place before the start of The Long Game)

1. TLG ch. 1-16 & first half of chapter 17 (ends at "At least this day wouldn't be total garbage.")

2. RM ch. 1 & 2

3. TLG the rest of chapter 17

4. RM ch. 3 & 4

5. TLG ch. 18

6. RM ch. 5 (here we have the first really overlaping scene described in both POVs) & ch. 6-7

7. TLG ch. 19 & 20 (This is also a good place to read the short story Countdown, available here. Too much stuff happens later on to fit this anywhere else.)

8. RM ch. 8 & 9

9. TLG first half of chapter 21 (ends at "Coach laughed and clapped him on the shoulder. "Yeah, but not in Ottawa."")

10. RM ch. 10 & 11

11. TLG rest of chapter 21

12. RM ch. 12

13. TLG ch. 22 & 23

14. RM first half of ch. 13 (ends at ""Yeah, I can't bring myself to care about that right now."" - We're getting into the plane part of the storyline, which is pretty crucial for both books, so this is gonna be a bit difficult, but stay with me. I figured the description of events in Role Model took precedence since it came out first and this is all the fans knew before The Long Game came out.)

15. TLG ch. 24

16. RM rest of ch. 13

17. TLG first part of chapter 25 (ends at "impossible wait" - That's not strictly chronological, but it felt like the best place to interrupt this Role Model bit.)

18. RM ch. 14-15 and first part of ch. 16 (ends at "Happiness, he supposed. "Me too."")

19. TLG rest of ch. 25

20. RM next part of chapter 16 (ends at ""I like those show-off goals of yours a lot more when we're on the same team."" - I know it's getting even more complicated! Stay with me! Hold my hand!)

21. TLG ch. 26

22. RM rest of ch. 16 (finally done!) & ch. 17-21

23. TLG ch. 27-28

24. RM ch. 22-23

25. TLG first part of ch. 29 (ends at ""And we will make sure to embarrass your old team that night."")

26. RM ch. 24

27. TLG rest of ch. 29

28. RM ch. 25 & 26

29. TLG ch. 30-39 + Epilogue

If you have any suggestions on how to make this better, definitely add them! I can't wait to actually do this tandem read!!

I don't know what they put in Steddie but it is one of the most addicting ships I've ever encountered... and I've been in many many fandoms.

[phantomrose96]

YOU 🫵 can amass a friend group of childless people in their 30s as long as you pull from these 3 demographics

Queer freaks from the internet

Highly-educated weird women

Gamer men who became adjusted and compassionate in their 20s but still are not comfortable recognizing this in themselves so they’re putting off dating in order to play the horse girl gacha game

[naamah-beherit]

And then none of them are in the same time zone.

[chronictranssexuality]

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

[messygoku]

and what are we going to do when the HP series comes out and we start seeing a resurgence of the fandom here including gifsets and fics. like are u guys gonna bring up your neurodivergence and cry "can we separate the art from the artist!!!!! you dont need to pay to watch it!!!!!its my comfort show and I'm DEPRESSED and AUTISTIC"

what then

[queen-of-hearts92]

Important addition:

[bundibird]

Reminder that "separating the art from the artist" is a sentiment that only works when the artist is dead and no longer profiting off the work in question.

JKR is still very much alive and very much openly devoted to spending as much of her money on efforts that increase transphobia. You cannot separate this artist from this art, because she is heartily using funds from that art to fund hate groups.

Do not watch it. Do not pirate it. Do not talk about it. Have nothing to do with it whatsoever.

this fits too good

it’s so deeply sad that helly probably longs to be a bush girl but helena absolutely keeps that thing bald as hell

[bardof-avon]

it is so embarrassing to be losing my mind over a tv show and all of the stills look like this

and it WILL be the most thrilling piece of television you have ever watched

[boasamishipper]

actually the reveal that there was no timeskip at all is hysterical. milchick really spent that whole weekend going all over town firing people, hiring people, putting together insane fruit baskets, and serving cunt in his motorcycle helmet. then at the orders of the board he had to very quickly fire the people he hired, rehire the people he fired, commission an oil painting for the severed floor lobby, redecorate the break room, and put together an award-winning claymation corporate apology video designed to showcase the new innie perks and reforms that don't exist as well as that one time helena eagan's innie sucked face with the innie whose outie his ex-boss is obsessed with. where is HIS waffle party

Silly lil thing, i love them being happy together

So cute!!

I was applying for a job recently and they had me complete a little "which traits do you identify with?" questionnaire. It included pictures, which in theory were there for clarification. However, all they made me do was go wtf. And also wonder what on earth these hiring managers could possibly get from some of these answers. anyway which oddly defined/exemplified character trait are you?

I am:

Prove My Point

Things Happen To Me

Wearing Costumes

Outside of the Box

Throw the Book At Them

Freethinking

Watchful

Good Enough

also did the lack of consistency in capitalization formatting bother you? because it bothered me.

[ladyladylady1]

This is so amusing. And yes the capitalization was more of test than the questions.

I’m a prove my point, unfortunately

[hyumjim]

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a fan of Chappell Roan I just think some of them need to realize and accept that they are a fan of a mainstream popular artist making popular pop music and therefore straight people are going to play it at weddings and it’s going to be in commercials for DoorDash and stuff. And that’s literally okay. It’s actually good. It’s good and normal for gay people to be making popular music. Idk if it just hasn’t sunk in for people yet that she is very popular. Ok I am telling you now. The woman is very popular

i love halsey because she'll write lyrics like "a girl like that is a mother, must be tough/ a problem child, i was rough/ but what do you do with a difficult grown up?" and then in another song she'll rhyme "michigan" with "bitch again"

[tiredandlonelymuse]

IMO “michigan” / “bitch, again” is some of my best work.
