MOSTLY LURKING & QUEUEING LATELY

Honestly I don't even know what my blog is anymore. ***Aimed at fans aged 18+. That's your PSA.*** I'm very, very, slow at responding to Asks/Messages right now - sorry.

*BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT*

Well hello, my lovely peeps - it’s been a hot minute, huh?

As if it’s been 10 whole years since I started this account and began writing #Stucky fanfic on #AO3. To those of you who never got the endings to my WIPs (looking at you, After Hours and Little Lies), I am SO. Fucking. Sorry.

Life has taken me many places over the last decade. I have since gotten married, moved across the country, and have 3 kids (2 amazing stepsons and 1 feral toddler). Over these last 10 years, I have thought of this fandom often, I have thought of my unfinished stories, and I have thought of our beloved Steve and Bucky.

Unfortunately, I also developed a crippling fear of writing again.

We knew the drill - I would show back up here every couple years with the (very honest) intention to get my ass back into gear and finally pick up the stories I left hanging. I - however unintentionally - gave a lot of you hope that those stories would be completed, only to vanish back into the void again.

For that, I want to say that I’m sorry.

The reason I’m back is because I want to share some exciting, vulnerable, and to be honest, terrifying news:

I am currently working on my first original novel - and I would like to start sharing it with you (at least, teasers) as it’s being written.

While it might not be Stucky, I hope that there might be at least one or two people here who would be interested and willing to read my original work - to meet these characters I have grown so in love with, and embark with me on their journey of survival, healing, and remembering what it means to let one’s self love again.

Along the way, I would ideally love to get your guys’ feedback on chapter snippets, have you help me shape and pick certain scenes, and basically help me be the writer I used to be again.

(And in turn, once the book eventually gets published, I’d love the opportunity to send you a free copy as my way of saying thanks! 🥺)

I’m not sure how many of my followers are still lurking around here, or how many will be interested in reading any of my work now.

But if there’s even one person willing to read it and give me their feedback, I will write for you.

Happy to be back and hope to hear from you,

Cap

extremely disappointed there isn't someone out there who will write the exact fics i want to read 24/7 so i don't have to do it myself, what a disgrace, someone somewhere needs to shape up

Relationships that have real king/lionheart energy, that whole “I have sworn myself wholly to you, I am your sword arm, I am your dog” to someone else’s “you are the one person in this world I can rely on, and I am both bolstered and burdened by your absolute faith in me” vibe, but it’s in circumstances that are like. so low stakes. Manager of a movie theater/the one usher who doesn’t smoke weed at work.

[andhumanslovedstories]

Obviously people tag this with fictional characters who match this dynamic, but I have to say I am OBSESSED with everyone who is like “this is me for real in actual life. I would die for you, assistant manager brenda.”

When the heroes are not in the camp

[luffybrini]

the "no spoiler culture", mainly perpetuated by the marvel cinematic universe, that pushes the idea that a story is only worth watching and telling if the audience knows absolutely nothing about it beforehand, has done irreparable damage to storytelling and how an audience interacts with the story. in this essay i will-

[tippenfunkaport]

there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter

tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on

truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that

yknow it's a real shame that romans didn't have access to australia specifically for augury reasons. i really wish i could have seen a roman augur have to deal with australian birds. like imagine trying to properly interpret an omen from a fuckin. cassowary

[thoodleoo]

loving that the general consensus here is that "the omen when you see a cassowary is that you are about to die of cassowary"

[comfect]

The cassowary evaluates your innards, not the other way around

Congratulations, game. You really did subvert my initial expectations with the really-not-all-that-horny vampire and the totally sensible weed Dad figure and Mr. Gale "I'm totally into the fact you haven't taken in a bath in 2 weeks and I read a book about about being turned on by deadly danger and let's have astral projection 4-way sex with only 2 people in outer space and you look good jogging around the city in strappy bondage gear" Dekarios.

Not complaining. I was just surprised, that's all. I love having my expectations subverted.

[khywren]

gale is the freakiest person in camp and nothing will convince me otherwise.

"Not everything is about your blorbos" to you maybe. To me every other song and probably that car commercial is about them

Lazy morning, he caught you watching him sleep.
