Thank you for writing in!
Begin Again by maikurosaki (complete |42,171 | T)
Breaking up with the love of his life? Gut-wrenching. Believe him, Bucky knows what he is talking about. After all, he is the guy that lost his arm in a terrible car accident, went through intense and painful physiotherapy, and almost lost his dream of becoming a professional engineer.
But life has a funny way of mocking Bucky's plans. When an accident brings the said love of his life back into his life, Bucky isn't surprised to notice that his feelings aren't as buried as he thought they were. However, there's just as much resentment and pain, not to mention a secret or two, and Bucky doesn't think he can be brave again. Not when it comes to Steve Rogers. Not when he might get his heart broken all over again.–Or the one in which Bucky and Steve try to find their way back to each other.
For any one who want some fluff check out a series by silentwalrus called 'a greenhouse in brooklyn' especially for someone who loves gardening fic....

Sam's gotta buy a wedding present, and nothing but elf booze will do.
I know it's a weird question to ask here, but what's the difference between Shrinkyclinks and shrinkyclunks(?) or that variation? I know it's not the same as modern!bucky, which confuse me since they all related to some type of time period.....
shrinky = pre-serum steve
clinks = winter soldier bucky
shrunky = modern bucky (bucky born in the 1980s or around that time)
clunks = captain america steve
with that, you can make different combinations and write in different settings :D
pre-serum steve doesn’t always mean steve before he had the serum; it could just be skinny steve. the same way that winter soldier bucky doesn’t always refer to the bucky that was captured by hydra, but a bucky with long hair and the metal arm.
ETA: blanketed-in-stars has raised a lovely point that modern bucky can also be “any non-WS/metal arm Bucky? So also pre-war or pre-prosthetic, whatever that means for your setting.”
I'm curious on your opinion, What would canon Izaya and Shizuo do, if suddenly they meet their other self from another dimension who love each other. idk, if suddenly in-love-shizaya got thrown into a world where they don't love each other but the other shizaya is also there. A 2 Izaya 2 Shizuo situation. who's the 'No. No, that could not happen' one.
i think BOTH canon- Izaya and canon- Shizuo would go “NO NO THIS CAN”T BE REAL” ahahaha. only canon-shinra would be like “nah this can totally happen” ahahaha. While on the other hand in-love-shizaya, if they got thrown into the canon-universe, they might go ‘Hmmm okay I can see why they hate each other but it’s really a misunderstanding... izaya/Shizuo isn’t thaaaat bad...’ or something like that? I think it’ll depend on the AU-verse, how they got together really ahaha
23. Things you said [the second time around] oikage, if possible the continuation from your number 22, please...
The part one (x)
This part is below the cut though
The hard surface of a chest was far more comfortable than the soft lumpy couch that Oikawa typically sat on. Especially if he was being held as he laid against him.
It certainly made reading through old medical journals seem easier, even though they were rather dry. Oikawa struggling to become interested in any of them. He loved his job and wanted to know as much as he could but these three journals were just filled with information that he’d either read before or being very dated and useless to him.
There was a gentle squeeze around his midsection, pulling him closer to the other. “Yeah?” Oikawa asked, turning his head to look at Kageyama who was looking down at him, seeming slightly amused that he had gotten Oikawa’s attention so easily.
A kiss was pressed to his forehead, causing Oikawa so shift his weight so he could turn and face Kageyama on the most part.”You promised if I came over you’d not spend all your time doing stuff for work.” He wasn’t scowling, in fact he didn’t look annoyed by it even, that was probably why it shocked Oikawa. “It’s fine, you can keep reading.”
Kageyama looked like he had expected this to happen. He could guess that he was even thinking that he should have known better, making Oikawa feel even more guilty than he should have. He hadn’t even thought about it when he’d started going through them, he just wanted to do it in case there was something he could gain from it.
There hadn’t been, he knew that but he’d ignored the boredom and continued reading. Now he had Kageyama acting passive aggressive because he wanted attention. Oikawa had to admit he was being reasonable in criticising him. “No it’s not actually.” Kageyama sighed, taking one of the journals from Oikawa’s hands and placing it away from them. “You said the only way we’d work was if we were both able to keep our work at work when we were together.”
“I know...” He mumbled, looking away from Oikawa due to embarrassment. He had spent the last year and a half since their break up not being able to separate work from home and even before they split he’d spent too much time at work or doing work at home. “I want to get back together properly but old habits die hard.”
The only reason they’d had a chance to get back together was because one night less than two months ago, Oikawa had gotten into a drunken state that left him as a blubbering mess, telling Kageyama everything that he felt. The next morning Kageyama had confronted him about it after he woke up in the younger’s bed, thankfully fully clothed considering he couldn’t remember much from the previous night. He just knew some things from messages on his phone and Kageyama’s word.
Oikawa had cried after hearing it, mostly because he was embarrassed by what he’d said and that Kageyama then followed up the tale with confessing himself. It had left the two of them in an awkward position for a week, neither knowing what to do about it. It was as though they’d accepted each other’s feelings but decided to ignore it.
He’d be lying if he said he had been surprised by Kageyama’s confession. He had hoped it was true since they’d started hanging around each other again. That was why they’d made rules, to give them a chance at working this time around. Most of them focused on Oikawa considering he’d been the real problem last time and while he had been trying, especially for the first week, it was getting harder because the more time they spent together, the less time he had to spend on work and had a risk of falling behind. It made him a little uneasy so he did try to sneak in a little bit whilst they were together.
Oikawa got up, taking the journals with him and placing them on his desk. Wearing a conflicted look as he went from them to Kageyama. They had the potential to have some gold in them but he couldn’t have a fight with Kageyama and the other walk out and possibly not talk to him for awhile. He couldn’t lose him again. This was just one of those times where he had to put work second.
He felt arms go around him, dragging him away from the desk. He hadn’t even heard Kageyama creep up behind him. “You’re pissing me off.” He whispered, pulling Oikawa into his bedroom, the pair falling on the bed. “I love you but I’m not going to be pushed as far as last time.”
“I know I love-”
“And you don’t know what’s best for me, no matter now much you think you do.”
“I know.”
“So don’t ever try what you did last time, I’ll never give you another chance no matter how I feel about you. I’m not going to be heartbroken by you all over again.”
Oikawa didn’t even open his mouth to respond that time. What was the point when Kageyama was right, he’d broken his heart as well as his own when he’d decided their breaking up was what was best for the both of them. “If I say sorry can we stop talking about that for tonight please?” He whispered, kissing Kageyama sweetly.
“We’re going to talk about it again though.” Kageyama said after Oikawa broke the kiss away, the two smiling at each other. “I love you, don’t forget that okay?”
