Pairing: Steve Rogers/ Bucky Barnes

(@not-withoutyou / not_without_you )

Bucky thought the war was easier. He was made of war; down to the marrow of his bones — he and Steve both. Borne and died of it. Peacetime didn’t stand to reason. Maybe it had, long ago — not anymore.

He’d been only just stumbling into adulthood on gangly legs when he’d gotten that conscription notice. Playground to battleground, and he’d never made it home from the fight.

If someone is going to cause problems with Shane on the ice, Ilya is going make sure they answer for it.

Or: The first rule of hockey is ‘talk shit, get hit.’

—

A second vicious crosscheck knocks Shane's helmet off—takes him down dangerously close to a boarding penalty. (It knocks the air out of Ilya's chest, too, until Shane can get up onto his knees to catch his breath.) And it escalates into a line brawl after the whistle.

Even if Shane isn't a fighter by nature, he knows how to defend himself; his gloves come off just like everyone else's. But it kills Ilya that all he can do is sit here cursing at the screen in two languages as the refs attempt to break up the fights so they can start handing out penalties. From where Ilya sits, it’s a late hit. It should be intent to injure. It should be a fucking game misconduct.

Because for a split second there, it didn't look like Shane was going to get up.

a feel like the new generation of fanfic readers NEED to understand that clicking on a fic (interaction) does nothing. ao3 has no algorithm. your private discord discussions of fic do not reach the authors. if you do not actively engage with writers they will stop posting. this isn’t social media this is community.

Watching the fuckass Hughes brothers struggle to read the teleprompter while the women’s team and a gay hockey show receive significantly more applause than them was delicious

[prettygeekycrafty]

I cannot recommend enough making friends with the fan fic writers that you admire because #1. They're probably great people and you'll like them #2. And more importantly, YOU CAN SCREAM AT THEM VIA DMS ABOUT THEIR WORK and it's just a great use of everyone's time.
