Hi! I’m looking for a fic (about 10k I think?) about Steve being scared of Tony catching him when he’s falling during missions. They work together on getting Steve comfortable with tony grabbing him mid-air. Thanks!!

Pretty sure that request 647 is Code Icarus by FestiveFerret. It’s 55k not 10k, but it fits the other things. Let us know if this isn’t correct!

Don’t forget to bookmark, comment, and kudos!

back again two weeks after your reply to say:

I read Iron Widow. easily one of my top 5 favorite books now. LITERALLY SOOOOOO GOOD. like incomprehensibly well-crafted and structured with characters that are fucking BONKERS and I am with them every step of the way. the author, xiran zhao, very clearly has so much love for their book and the story they wanted to tell. zhao is very upfront about content warnings but it does get very heavy at times!

i will check out your recommendations!! im in the middle of re-reading six of crows (bc why read a new book that’s been waiting on your shelf for months when you have a perfectly good book you’ve already read several times??) but im very intrigued. I follow this dude on tiktok who does obscure book recommendations and I always love the short, emotionally devastating ones

forgive me if I reply to your reply in a month, I’m never on tumblr

life’s been beating the shit out of me lately that i can go a few days without getting on tumblr….. but that usually means i compensate with twitter, and, i think it’s safe to say, twitter is a hell of a lot worse than tumblr now but it’s so easy to just Scroll mindlessly. it’s bad

i’m glad you liked Iron Widow!!!!!! i’m preoccupied with the Crave series by tracy wolff right now. someone donated that and the second book, Crush, so i snagged them because they reminded me of twilight and……. oh my god? they’re kinda really terrible (you can tell it hasn’t been that thoroughly edited) but i’m having so much fun reading them 😭😭😭😭😭 they’re entertaining!!!!! i did recently find out there’s gonna be, like, 7 books in this series though and it’s looking like i’m gonna commit myself to this dumb fucking series 😭😭

i had some friends who were obsessed with Six of Crows (and the other books set in that universe) but i never really got around to reading it or any of that author’s other works. her Ninth House book, written for adults, intrigued me but there’s just something about the dark academia Aesthetic that can… rub me the wrong way. i think that’s why it’s taken me so long to get around to reading it

my friends from work and i started a little book club where we all read similar books. it’s mostly treated as a joke because the first book we all wanted to read was a harlequin romance novel. (it was bad but not as boring as you would think.) and now, we’re reading……. amish books GDJDHDKD WHICH, strangely, is also a subset of harlequin books. the books you usually think of when it comes to harlequin books is their Harlequin Presents/Passion books. and the amish books are part of their Harlequin Love Inspired genre. i also know harlequin has a queer imprint where their authors have to pick a trope (like coffee shop, enemies to lovers, etc. (typical fanfic shit)) and then write a queer book about it……. if i was gonna write for harlequin…… it would be for that

where was i going with this…….. i don’t really like booktok/bookstagram or anything like that because they always seem to recommend the same books with little to no variation, at least from what i’ve seen recently. but it’s really good there’s people on there recommending obscure books. love me a good niche book that gut punches you nice and slow

logging back onto tumblr for the first time in months just to reply to an old ask about YA books — ANYWAY i decided to check out Legendborn by Tracy Deonn and liked it way more than I thought I was gonna (it’s a modern Arthurian retelling that has the potential for a poly love triangle and I’m praying the sequel goes that way)

im re-reading Maggie Stiefvater’s Raven Cycle bc it’s a fave and I don’t know how to stop rereading it

i just finished Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka (very much not YA btw) which was one of the most stunning books I’ve read. it uses second person a lot (which reminded me of you) and it’s just AAHH. it had the potential to be a stereotypical “true” crime novel and it very much was not and it is all the better for it

I also just bought Iron Widow and Black Leopard Red Wolf but haven’t cracked either of them open yet

i think someone donated a copy of Legendborn a few weeks ago!! it made me pause because it’s circulated a lot through our library so it made me go ?!?! to see someone had donated it. but maybe that’s why someone donated it; i know we get popular books donated to us because people get impatient waiting for it to come in for them so they buy a copy and then donate it to us whenever they get done with it (they think it’ll end up on our shelves when, most of the time, any donations we get end up in our friends store). ANYWAY i heard it was a good book!!! same with The Raven Cycle. a lot of my friends have read it/reread it/recommended it to me. i keep giving it longing stares whenever i pass it on the shelves… One Day…

i’ll have to keep an eye out for Notes on an Execution 👀 i’ve been trying to read books in second person to prove that Yes Books Can Get Published If They’re In Second Person POV, so i’ll definitely add this one to my TBR. i finished reading Bright Lights, Big City by jay mcinerney a month or so ago, and that’s also in second person. it was… fine. Open Water by caleb azumah nelson is a very beautiful book that’s in second person. it’s a quick read so if you need to read something light (but kinda heavy, given the contents, since it has a lot of Feelings in it), i recommend that one. neither of these books are YA either GDJDHKSDJ i’m not even sure if i’ve seen a YA book in second person? maybe it’s not as popular? second person in general isn’t that popular though

IRON WIDOW… that one has been on my TBR ever since i saw the author’s portrait is a pic of them in a cow onesie. i have to read the book simply because of that honestly. i heard the book’s contents is good but that cow portrait…? the real winner

what r you reading? ive also been reading way more YA than usual recently

i just finished Gallant by v.e. schwab. i’ve read a few of her books and this one came in to the library last week. i saw her posting about it on her instagram page and i thought Why Not

i was a little confused when i started reading it because she’s using her “v.e. schwab” pseudonym, which she uses to write adult fiction, but it’s labeled as YA… when she usually writes YA, she does it under her “victoria schwab” pseudonym….. it definitely reads like YA so i’m just wondering why she chose to use this pen name??????? weird…

this isn’t to say YA is Bad or anything like that. YA serves the purpose it needs to and that’s all that matters

i checked out Manhunt by gretchen felker-martin a few days ago so i’m gonna start that tonight (maybe), even though i need to be reading books that’s related to my novel so i can find comp titles fhdkdjdnjd it’s Fine

what have you been reading 👀👀👀📖📖📖

[edyluewho]

143k words?? 472 pages?? that is so impressive!!!! congratulations 🎉🎉

thank you!!!!! i’m gonna do my best to spend some time editing it a little bit before sending it to my thesis director but i’m content with how it stands right now :-)
