So I’m going through my old stories trying to catch the writing bug again, and I’ve noticed a few of my older stories have some race and appearance descriptive language that I would like to update. So I wanted to ask as people may notice it, would you mind doing a screenie and send it to that profile? Sometimes it’s hard for me to catch my own mistakes, so if you see it and have time, it would be super helpful! Thank you, lovelies!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

are there any billy russo x reader series tumblr blogs you'd recommend

So I always hate answering these because I feel like I’m playing favorites and leaving people out - which isn’t done intentionally. So I’m going to list a few that I particularly enjoy and then link to some individual writers to make it a little more fair.  By Design by @luminex3 might be my favorite Billy AU, and it’s so damn well done that I’ve reread it a couple times. Anything she writes for Billy is so damn good. 

Let It Burn by @its-my-little-dumpster-fire - if you’re in for a wild ride, this is the Billy story for you. It’s a soulmates AU... but everything else is so authentically BILLY that it’s unreal. 

Jigsaw by @the-blind-assassin-12 - this isn’t... this isn’t a happy story. It’s going to emotionally take a lot out of you to read it - but it’s really, really, really well done. Every word.  There are a ton of other Billy writers on here - the first two series I read were by @breanime (Bloody Secrets) and @whos-pretty-now (Choices). @banditthewriter has a huge Billy masterlist (I remember waiting impatiently when she was releasing Remember the Tin Man one chapter at a time) ... @gollyderek and @illshowyourhurricanes recently started to write for him, too. @smiley-celine‘s work is really enjoyable (Fly High and the unfinished Shoot to Kill)  IDK. this isn’t an exhaustive list - but it’s a good place to start. Most of these writers don’t only have series, either - there are plenty of one-shots waiting, too!

Thank you, Rachael! This story feels like it was so long ago, and it was so hard to start and then came out fully formed. I'm thankful that people still like it. 💜💜💜 Please enjoy this possum riding a Roomba.

Reblogging this masterlist to show off my sexy new cover art from @with1love1anu!!!

As a fic writer, i need every reader to know that:

I don’t care if your comment is coherent. I know what you mean and i love you

I don’t care if you ramble. I read every word and i love you

I don’t care if you leave a comment on a fic from four years ago or leave comments/kudos on like ten of my fics in one go. This isn’t IG, pls stalk my AO3. I love you

I don’t care if you mention the same thing in your comment that four other people have already mentioned. It’s actually really useful to know what resonated with people and I love everyone who takes the time to tell me they liked a particular turn of phrase

I don’t mind if your comment is super long or just a couple of sentences, i love them all

I love you

Hell Hath No Fury

My contribution to @daffodilsbucky‘s 1k Follower Challenge! Congratulations!!!

My trope was #12 Body Swap.

Dinah Madani was a woman scorned. 

There was more to it, of course. Her career was in ruins. She was a laughingstock among her former co-workers and bosses. Her parents had stood by her publicly, of course, but she saw them, sometimes. They would just look at her, wondering where they had gone wrong with their child. 

Her life was a joke – she was a joke. And it was all because of one man. 

Billy Russo.

If you like your Billy with a side of AU...

[osointricate]

This person gets it

[banditthewriter]

Okay but why is the moment when Sam pulls Billy’s mask off so fucking hot? Like, just that second, when you see his face? And his hair is doing the Disney prince thing and falling back in place? And it’s obvious he’s pissed and ready. Right before the knife comes out (although… no, not going there in this post)

IDK. Just that moment. It only lasts for a second. But I’ve watched the cut of that scene I made like 10 times already lol

[benbarnesfrustration]

GOD YES

I’m relieved I’m not the only one who felt that way because that was the sexiest murder moment ever and just writing that makes me wonder if I’m part sociopath and I don’t even care right now. Just….UNF

[binbons-character-stuff]

I agree 💯% that he’s hot as fuck when he stabs Sam, but the beginning of episode 13 when he goes through Anvil offing HSA agents?

[lexxierave]

I have watched that clip so many times and I’ll never get tired of it. And just god I know I have issues but idc!!

[banditthewriter]

Dayum,

I said dayum.

FINE OKAY FINE!

[whos-pretty-now]

I mean, obviously that was the hottest my favorite moment, right?? 😉

[banditsficrecs]

Fic Rec Friday!

The first go for my Fic Rec Friday and I just have to rec Choices by the wonderful amazing lovely @whos-pretty-now / @obscurilicious

I know I’ve said it before but I’m willing to say it again. This is the fic that made me want to write for Billy. I’d been curious and looking around on here just for gifs of Billy from the first season and I stumbled upon this fic. I was immediately taken in and couldn’t wait for the next part to post!

This fic not only started my love affair with one Billy Russo, but it got me writing again. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Choices!

It starts up where The Punisher season one ends, with Billy in the hospital and in custody. You get sexy, playful, twisted, haunted Billy and a reader who doesn’t take any of his shit. It’s such a lovely story! 

[whos-pretty-now]

As your #1 fan

I can only say how happy I am that I wrote this and it inspired you to write again. Love ya! 🥰💜🤠

[woundedblackbird]

Okay no.

I can’t abide misinformation.

Billy knew about the hit on Frank’s family.

Billy did not carry out the hit on Frank’s family.

Billy did not plan the hit on Frank’s family.

Billy’s crime is that he knew that Rawlins had decided to have Frank killed and, as an extension- his family: in order to hide the fact it was a hit. Billy knew about it and he chose not to tell Frank or get involved. He said he wouldn’t play a part in it but he decided not to warn Frank. 

THAT is the shitty thing he did and it is super shitty. 

For some reason in season 2 you’ve got Dinah and Curtis saying that Billy killed Frank’s family and now there’s a whole slew of people on this site who genuinely think Billy planned the whole hit and shot up Frank’s family and I just…

w h a t

For those unaware, this is direct from the S1 ep12 script.

Billy: No. Billy: No, I wasn’t there. Billy: If I was, you’d be in the ground, because I wouldn’t have missed. Billy: But I told them I’d have no part of it. Frank: But you knew about it, didn’t you? Frank: Did you know about it, Bill? Billy: Yeah. I knew. Frank: She loved you. Billy: Look, it wasn’t supposed to go down like this, all right? Frank: My kids loved you.

Billy: If I could go back and change it, I would. But I can’t. Frank: (GROANS) Billy: Frank… Billy: Frank, look at me. Billy: Look at me, Frank. Billy: I did not want this.

So, a long time ago when I returned to writing, in my infinite wisdom (read: dumbassery) I made a separate blog for all of my fandoms that I write for. In hindsight, I wish I had done one for all of them, which is why we have @binbons-character-stuff. However, @hermioneshandbag and @logans-chestnuts are still going strong, and, they’re both the same distance from their next milestones. So, who will get the next event? Help me decide by sharing this with people who will follow the one you want to win!

[binbons-character-stuff]

Closing Ceremony

That does it for this event! Thank you all so much for following and for sending in titles. I really enjoyed writing them. If you sent in a title and I didn’t write one for you, please let me know! The Tumblr 🐷 may have gobbled it up.

If I write any more of the titles for those of you who sent in more than one, it will be occasional drabbles.

For now, I plan to focus on this guy:

and how I think things could have gone if he hadn’t gone to the toxic doc Dumont in Maybe Someday.

Thank you all once again for making this event so great! Many hugs and kisses.

And if you’re just seeing this for the first time, all of the event fics are in my Masterlist in my bio. 💜

500 Follower Celebration!

We’re almost there, so I thought I’d go ahead and tell you what I have planned!

I’ve already done it on @logans-chestnuts and @hermioneshandbag and it was a lot of fun, so I want to do Title Fics again. Basically, you send me a title and who you want to star in the fic and I write it! 

The Rules:

Please follow me on @binbons-character-stuff

Send in an Ask with your title and your choice from the following of Benny boy’s characters: Caspian, Ryan Brenner, Nick Tortano, Sam Adams, Tom Ward, Johnny Whittaker and Billy Russo.

No anonymous Asks, please! However, I will be happy not to post your name if you wish.

Send in as many requests as you want! I will write whichever one tickles my fancy first and then maybe more if I’m not completely burnt out and have the use of my hands.

That’s about it! I can’t wait to hit 500 so we can start, but you don’t have to wait to start sending in titles!

Thank you all so much for following me and reading my little stories. It makes me so happy to share the love of that handsome man’s characters!

[whos-pretty-now]

Come follow me on @binbons-character-stuff and help me celebrate 500 Followers. 💜💜💜👾

Quality Time, Part 1

Here we go! This is the first part of a 14 part series. Believe it or not (I’m actually amazed,) there’s no smut! Nothing naked, at least. I’m considering a thrice weekly schedule, but I’m probably not kidding anyone, right? I added everyone from the Caspian story, but if you aren’t interested in being tagged in this story, please let me know. And, of course, if you would like to be tagged, let me know that, too!

This takes place over the course of a couple years beginning in summer 2010. In Choices, I examined the path Billy wound up on because of making the choice to work with Rawlins. In this, I’m imagining how things could have gone differently if he had someone in his life that filled some of the emptiness from his childhood. So here we go!

“Catch me, Aunt Y/N!” Frank Jr. said as he launched himself into the shallow end of the neighborhood pool. You were the fun Aunt, the one who spoiled them and bought them presents for no reason and played with them as if you were another kid.

You weren’t really their aunt, of course, but you and Maria had been friends and as close as sisters for years. Hell, you had been in the delivery room with her when Frank Jr. had been born with his Dad on deployment somewhere in the desert.

And you loved Frank, too. He was tough and a bit distant, but once he warmed up to you he treated you like a baby sister.
