For When I Fold

I want a kitchen that I own every

Poem to be known

I want kisses in the rain

and in the dry

Thunder gently rolling

By,

I want a smile; I want a hand

I want an arm; For when I fold

I want my childhood broken

Toy,

To sweetly mend for

Someones' joy

I want to climb familiar stairs

And sail upon familiar airs,

To run my hand 'long polished

Wood without a thought

For what I

Should.

Be doing with my fading time

'No worries' for the dimming light

A swing, a breeze, "a cuppa, please", a sunset, and

The Coming Tide:

A flock calls in the dawn

of night

The cries, the knowing eyes, the wings, and

Everything—

The Peacrab brings

A memory floats; a leaf in wind

A penny

Whistle,

made of tin.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Jemma Simmons/Grant Ward Characters: Jemma Simmons, Grant Ward, Skye | Daisy Johnson, Antoine Triplett Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern with Magic

So, yeah. No smart comments today. Maybe no not-so-smart comments, either; Skye’s having some trouble finding her voice.

Luckily, Trip doesn’t seem to have the same problem. “We appreciate you meeting with us, man.”

“Anything for an old friend.” Ward spreads his arms, looking cheerful and friendly and not at all like he could flay the skin from all their bones at once without even gesturing. “You said you needed some help?”

“We do,” Coulson says, taking over. “Our team—”

“SHIELD team,” Ward interrupts with a tsk. “You never said you worked for SHIELD, Trip.”

My Secret Santa exchange gift for @capriciouswrites. More than a day late, hopefully less than a dollar short. I wanted to get the first half posted before the exchange was over, second part will be up hopefully after not too long.

DCxMarvel: Roy/Jason (pining), Natasha Romanov | Rating: T+

Summary: 

Everyone knows where the witch lives, and are happy to give him directions. But no one will show him the way, or tell him the witch’s name, let alone anything else about them. It’s hardly a surprise but is disappointing.

Notes: podded for the CRISS CROSS challenge of VTMB 2024, because the Ke$ha (or is she just using Kesha now, I keep getting confused) song the title came from didn't quite match the vibe of the podfic. but also!! it was safely's bday so it was a birthday gift ~

Original Work: part time soulmates, full time problem by @capriciouswrites [ao3: SafelyCapricious]

DC x MCU: Roy/Natasha/Jason | Rating: Teen & Up Audiences

Summary: 

Natasha corrects Jason’s position, again, and Roy watches, tools held loosely in his hands, because, well. “Can I go on record that this is a bad idea?” Clint voices from the other side of the table where he’s working on some arrows. “You can go on record for being jealous,” Roy returns, eyes not moving away from the sight of Natasha and Jason, both in clinging Lycra, practicing flips against a very sturdy dummy. “I’m not jealous,” Clint corrects, “I’m terrified.” 

Notes: podded for @polypodweek! It wasn't on my original schedule but the problem is that I actually have a lot of polypods I want to make so I kept adding on ideas of "if I have time!!!" & for this one, I DEFINITELY did (i love it so much)

DC: John Constantine/Jason Todd | Rating: Teen & Up Audiences

Summary: 

A present appears in Jason's locked safe house, covered in glitter and he's pretty sure it's a bomb. Obviously he's not going to open it! Who even would do that? (The Legends)

Notes: podded for Safely's birthday / the VTMB 2024 challenge BRING LIGHT!

Original Work: 'til the sun comes back (around) by @capriciouswrites [ao3: SafelyCapricious]

Marvel: Frank Castle/Karen Page, Clint Barton | Rating: Teen & Up

Summary: 

“Wow,” Clint says, blinking at the bedraggled pair at his door, “that’s a hell of a curse, huh?” “Can you help.” The man demands, not even trying to make it a question. The woman — or, well, the golden wolf by the man’s side that’s actually a woman — blinks at him imploringly.

Notes: while this fic isn't poly, exactly, it is the first meeting between clint & the established couple. and when i podded another fic in this series, i heard the idea was to make them a triad! so while the fic that may establish that isn't up yet, it was an end note on this fic of an "ot3" and i wanted to include something different (for me) in the collection! all that to say... podded for @polypodweek 2025 lol
