Fic Rec

and you may tell yourself, “this is not my beautiful house” by Phlegmatic, @irregularcollapse [Fic, 29.5K, Gale "Buck" Cleven/John "Bucky" Egan] Ten years after a breakup, Bucky gets a glimpse of what could have been if he'd never ended things with Gale Cleven. Also, it's Christmas.

@angelfruittree rec: An unsung hero ! A story that explores how malleable we are to the circumstances we find ourselves in and the choices we make . Bucky does make the decision to leave Gale behind and go to London , he does end up not seeing Gale again and becoming hugely successful but it’s not the decision that makes his life so miserable now , despite becoming a giant of his industry . Bucky needs to be useful to feel worthy and so many of the decisions he makes after he leaves for London , not leaving itself , are what have left him isolated and alone on Christmas Day. Then at the lowest point in his life , in his ivory tower… he gets a glimpse ( might cry writting this but anyway) We also get bi polar bucky and a really intimate and generous exploration at that .

for the ask game: 2 and 7!! <3

hi darling!! 🧡

2. What movie have you watched most recently? What did you think of it?

laughing cus im pretty sure it was Robots (2005)! it's a childhood classic for me, i watched it with my friend and had a good time remembering how insane some of the jokes are in it :3

7. what's your favorite way to travel? Is there a mode of travel you haven't done that you want to experience?

i am somewhat partial to driving (as long as i am the driver) since i have done it so so much in my life and it gives you time to relax, to hang out with whoever you are riding with, and to be loud and silly without bothering anyone else!

that said, i have also started flying only recently (as in like 3 years ago recently) and while i've still only done it a handful of times, i do like that the time on a flight is so much shorter than a drive, which is nice when i travel alone and would otherwise be spending 24+hours in a car on my own 😭car rides are good if you have company, less so alone

as for what i want to experience: passenger trains!! i wish we still had them here, having an alternative to flying and driving to get across the country would be so nice but we only have like. 1 or 2? major passenger railways in the US? i could be wrong. but i do know none of them come near where i live.

Summary: Laurent, overwhelmed in a crowded bar, tells Damen to dance. Damen delivers.

Inspiration: This story was inspired by tags from @kybelles on this post and the video from the post itself.

Beta reading, love, and encouragement from the lovely @irregularcollapse <3

Snippet under the cut

“Nikadros has invited us to the opening of his new restaurant. Chtapódi.” Auguste’s flat tone belies his interest. Laurent’s lip curls as he waits for his brother to inevitably continue. “Some fancy Akielon place on Mirabeau.”

Laurent sighs, adjusting his wrist upon his knee. Auguste is watching him, face partially illuminated by his phone screen. “How pedestrian.” Laurent’s boredom is authentic. 

“Will you go?” 

Laurent dislikes the way Auguste smiles at him. 

“When?” 

Silence. And then: “Tonight.”

“Auguste—”

“Damen will be there.” The words come in a rush. Auguste, apparently, has moved past his dramatic pauses. 

Laurent is careful, ascetic in his tone, his posture, every wisp of hair. “And you believe I care about Damianos of Akielos’ whereabouts tonight.”

“I know you do,” Auguste says, thumbs flying across his phone screen. 

Laurent heaves another sigh, uncrossing his legs and standing elegantly from Auguste’s deep-seated navy sofa. 

“We’re taking separate vehicles,” he states, straight-backed and collected as he leaves his brother in the living room.

Day 18 Fic Rec

Love means nothing (in tennis) by phlegmatic @irregularcollapse [Explicit - Modern AU - Gale "Buck" Cleven/John "Bucky" Egan - In progress 4/20 - 24,8k]

Gale meets John Egan at a Challenger in Bordeaux when they're both 19 years old. After that, he can't seem to shake him. But what's more is, despite what his dad says about Gale's game, and what the commentators say about their rivalry, and what he's been told about tennis his whole life, Gale doesn't think he wants to.

@carnevol rec: Another one of my favorites
