After what feels like ages I finally escaped a few of my deadlines! Which is fortunate, because I was itching to record and edit this story! It has telepathy! And Soul Bonds! and PINING! Oh my god people! THE PINING! A huge thank you to @mizzy2k for giving blanket permission to record her story. And for being one of the writers to put down fix-its for the shitshow of current canon. Not all heroes wear capes! I hope I do it justice <3. If you want you can head over to AO3 and listen to it here or read the original text here. Leave some love if you like it!

one of the more valuable things I’ve learned in life as a survivor of a mentally unstable parent is that it is likely that no one has thought through it as much as you have. 

no, your friend probably has not noticed they cut you off four times in this conversation. 

no, your brother didn’t realize his music was that loud while you were studying. 

no, your bff or S.O. doesn’t remember that you’re on a tight deadline right now.

no, no one else is paying attention to the four power dynamics at play in your friend group right now.  

a habit of abused kids, especially kids with unstable parents, is the tendency to notice every little detail. We magnify small nuances into major things, largely because small nuances quickly became breaking points for parents. Managing moods, reading the room, perceiving danger in the order of words, the shift of body weight….it’s all a natural outgrowth of trying to manage unstable parents from a young age. 

Here’s the thing: most people don’t do that. I’m not saying everyone else is oblivious, I’m saying the over analysis of minor nuances is a habit of abuse. 

I have a rule: I do not respond to subtext. This includes guilt tripping, silent treatments, passive aggressive behavior, etc. I see it. I notice it. I even sometimes have to analyze it and take a deep breath and CHOOSE not to respond. Because whether it’s really there or just me over-reading things that actually don’t mean anything, the habit of lending credence to the part of me that sees danger in the wrong shift of body weight…that’s toxic for me. And dangerous to my relationships. 

The best thing I ever did for myself and my relationships was insist upon frank communication and a categorical denial of subtext. For some people this is a moral stance. For survivors of mentally unstable parents this is a requirement of recovery.

Emergency Housing Funds for my Partner, organized by Scar Young

My partner Lu and their mom Lyn were recently kicked out from their home by family.… Scar Young needs your support for Emergency Housing Funds for my Partner

My dear friend Lu is in need of safer housing urgently right now, please share/donate!

APRIL 5, 2021 by Scar Young, Organizer Hi everyone! Again, thank you so so much for your sup port during all of this. You’re helping Lu and Lyn keep safe and we appreciate that more than you could ever know. Unfortunately, Lu and Lyn are still without housing. Hotel expenses and storage expenses are a huge burden and making the search for permanent housing more difficult. Lu and Lyn are also in need of some important necessities. Both of them need updated eyeglass prescriptions and new glasses. Lyn is in need of new shoes as hers are falling apart. Lu has an older iphone that will soon lose ios support if it even lasts that long. Their phone has been slowly dying for a while now and is in need of replacing ASAP. Thanks again for all of the support. Please continue to share everywhere and donate if you’re able

My collaboration to the Captain America/Iron Man Big Bang 2019, thank you so much Mizzy for creating the best fix-it fic I have ever read, and thank you Ha_kko for making such lovely and awesome fanart for this story as well, it was amazing working with you! 😄

Where Our Restless Monsters Sleep by Mizzy

Link to Ha_kko's art post

Sumary:

Years after Tony Stark saved the universe, the Avengers realize there’s a major problem: his body has gone missing. And he isn’t the only one. Fallen heroes all over the galaxy have had their graves pillaged.

An old foe is stealing the bodies of fallen warriors, but for what nefarious reason? There’s only one solution. To find out why it’s happening, Steve’s gotta die.

He probably shouldn’t be so eager to do that

[mizzy2k]

I’m good! I am sore from doing an exercise but that’s alright

Remember to hydrate, anon.

[mizzy2k]

How are you doing :)

Confused and awake. How about you?

[ha-kko]

Here is my art for the 2019 Cap-IM BB fic Where Our Restless Monsters Sleep written by the talented @mizzy2k! Working with her has been such a fun experience! Please make sure to check it out! It’s a phenomenal fic :D

PS: There are a couple more artworks under my AO3 post which you can find here!

A book cover I designed for @mizzy2k whose fic, Where Our Restless Monsters Sleep, is the best story I’ve ever read.

@mizzy2k your writing is simply fantastic. I hope this isn’t an unwelcome gift! Please let me know if I should take it down.

A note on some of the details:

The backgrounds I owe to video game concept artists — specifically Aion and Battle Chasers: Night War. It was amazing to come across exactly what I’d visualised whilst looking for art inspo and I had to swipe ‘em. I’m sorry and I’m not making a lick of money off this, I swear.

The characters on the front page and spine are either screenshots or Marvel concept art (Meinerding et al are goddamn geniuses).

The ISBN and barcode will lead you to — you guessed it — Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman, Vol. 5 (hardcover) which contains the issue of Fantastic Four (#600) that Mizzy based WORMS on.

Thank you to RDJ and Chris Evans who will never see this for the gratuitous eyesex in Avengers 2012. We really needed that. We really did.

I’d love all the love/feedback/both I could get! Here, or on this art’s AO3 page here.

My first Stevetony fic was relativistic heat conduction and still dream of it from time to time

[stovetuna]

I can’t remember what my first stevetony fic experience was, precisely, BUT I know Secrets of a Successful Marriage was one of the first and it absolutely colored my entire perception of them as characters and as a ship

Relativistic Heat Conduction by @blossomsinthemist

Secrets of a Successful Marriage

I don't have bookmarked the fics I read before I had an AO3 account. I transferred over a lot but not everything. Also some writers deleted their works, so I don't have those either. (If you orphan a work, it stays up but it's no longer attached to you.)

I don't have LJ links but I read some early stuff on LJ too.

Anyway, here are some recs of early fics that I still go back to re-read:

Buy You a Mockingbird (THE baby fic for me)

Resurrection verse by @elspethdixon

The Meaningless and All That's True

Unveil My Unsightly Heart by @mizzy2k

Moments Lost in Time (hands down, the best CW but make it worse fic)

Catch Me Through the Looking Glass

Plunge by @kiyaar

America Isn't Chicken

Love Among the Hydrothermal Vents

In Extremis / To Extremes

[applecherry108]

A character can still be a great character without being a good person.

In fact, some of the best characters are terrible people.

Because a character’s worth should be based on how complex and interesting they are, not their morality if they were real.
