‘Bongo’ is kind of close to 'bingo,’ right? Thanks again to the mods for putting this together, and the community for being so supportive! This is my first time (pun intended) and it was a blast! <3
I got tagged by @sablessx who I love very dearly, and so even though I don’t normally do these, I’m gonna fill this one out (I stole Sable’s words because it’s true):
(Under the cut so I don’t blow up anyone’s dash by accident.)
Copy/paste and bold your fic preferences because why not, gotta choose one (near impossible, but go with your first gut instinct), and tag someone because, again, why not.
slow burn or love at first sight
--fek this is hard because BOTH
fake dating or secret dating
--a;slkdjfa Yes
enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers
--fighting is just another form of passion
oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance with correspondence
--long distance gets really weird to read after a while
hurt/comfort or amnesia
--SECRET PINING AND KNOWLEDGE OF A LOST LOVE vs UNKNOWING IS MY JAM JIGGITY
fantasy au or modern au
--I could go for either
mutual pining or domestic bliss

--I like smut, but after a while sex is sex. Give me the hardcore feelings.
canon compliant (missing scenes) or fix-it fic
--eh neither.
alternate universe or future fic
--it takes a lot for me to live future fic. There are few that do it well for me.

--aksjdf college au yes
sci-fi au or magic au
--both?
bodyswap or genderbend
--Not usually a fan of genderbend
angst or crack
--GIVE ME THEM FEELS
apocalyptic or mundane
--Both are good in their own sense
I’m tagging uh... whoever the fuck wants to do it.
K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?
Steve dying and Bucky having to figure out how to live without him. Which I thought of and wrote before Endgame ever came out. …and I kinda wish thats what happened
Fair is fair, and you picked some hard questions in return lol
9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?
There was a start of an alternate version, which I planned to be darker and angstier, and maybe have Bucky working for SHIELD, I hadn’t figured that part out yet I don’t think, but it never made it very far.
13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?
You’d think I’d say I listened to Cold Arms by Mumford and Sons, since that inspired the title of the story, but I didn’t lol. I seriously was just inspired for the title when I was listening to it in the car. I actually couldn’t really get into any music while writing this, which is weird for me because I listen to music more than I watch TV normally.
As for what I think readers should listen too? I... have no idea? The funny thing is, before I really started writing, I planned to try to have a playlist to go with it. But once I started actually writing, I decided that would be way too much work so I ditched the idea. This has me stumped and now I’m considering going through with the playlist idea lol
I got tagged by @sablessx and @pineau-noir for the 7-7-7 WIP tag game, and while I have a few WIPs, none have reached the magical 7 pages....
However, when reading through my WIPs, I came across this gem from my creative writing...
Paul nodded. “Starting at the very beginning, I see. How much do you remember from your biology classes?”
“Not much. I wasn’t the best student.” He seemed to think he owed Patrick an explanation.
“[Longwinded description of primary and secondary sex characteristics]. Are you with me so far?”
“I may not have been the best student, though I was rather good at applied biology.” Behind Paul, Patrick started laughing.
“I do remember.” Paul hesitated, knowing that explaining Alphas and Omegas would go faster if the Omega in questions wasn’t in full-on heat-brain. “How are you feeling, B? Feel like jumping Patrick or Martin over there?”
For context, Paul’s best friend has gone into full-blown Omega!verse Heat. His friend is not aware he is an Omega. Paul has brought him to a “safe” Alpha and is in the process of explaining what is happening to his friend.
Just a quick update to let folks know I haven't fallen into another artist black hole, but rather, I've been hard at work illustrating three lovely stories for Captain America Big Bang. Here's a little teaser of what's coming your way next month! Also, thank you to my wonderful authors: bear-shark, lecroixss, and coldwinterrose. It's been a pleasure collaborating with y'all thus far.
