Fic Preference Meme

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

fake dating or secret dating

enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers

oh no there’s only one bed or long-distance with correspondence

hurt/comfort or amnesia (yes all the hurt/comfort)

fantasy au or modern au

mutual pining or domestic bliss

smut or fluff

canon compliant (missing scenes) or fix-it fic  

alternate universe or future fic

kid fic or roadtrip fic (de-aged, that is, or when the characters are younger than in canon)

reincarnation or character death (I do not like unhappy endings xD )

arranged marriage or accidental marriage

time travel or isolated together (time travel, to me, is iffy)

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it. K: What's the angstiest idea you've come up with?

Hahaha oh wow I actually find this really difficult to answer because honestly, I don’t think dialogue is really my strong point? But I’d have to go with the dialogue from the first chapter of Coming Together (Falling Apart).

“They said it was one of us or all of us, and there is no reason for all of us to get tortured.”

“So what, you want to offer up one of us to get hurt?” Clint’s eyes were narrowed, his fists clenched once again.

“I do, in fact.” After a few seconds of stunned silence, he continued. “I’m Iron Man, sure, but outside of the suit, I’m just a regular, unenhanced civilian. You are trained to withstand interrogation - I’m not. We’ve got no idea what they want, or which one of us can give it to them, but I say we send in anyone but me.”

It keeps going like that, and I’m really proud of the double layers, the way they’re performing for the (hidden) cameras, and the way Steve (as the POV character) doesn’t know exactly what is going on, but slowly starts realizing that something definitely is.

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve come up with?

Hmmm…. That would probably have been either Hate Me or some of my Whumptober shorts.

The first one is a lot of internal angst, with Tony hating himself and also hiding the fact that he’s Iron Man (because Iron Man is good, and Tony Stark isn’t). The second one has more external angst, with people getting hurt a lot.

That being said, angst is relative for me, because I’m terrible at unhappy endings (reading and writing both) and my stories either outright end well, or the implication is that they will (in the case of the Whumptober ones, where I didn’t have time to write entire fics).

Thank you very much for your questions!! 💙💙💙

stop checking on them they don’t miss you

Cold

For the longest time, all Bucky had known was cold.

He'd fallen into it years ago, had been found by HYDRA and turned into the Winter Soldier, kept in cryo between assignments. He had known fear, and depression, and he'd felt like he was frozen from the inside out.

But then there was Steve, who found him and brought him to the compound. A welcoming home where he found Tony, with his bright energy and his sun-kissed skin and his warm brown eyes, who smiled at him. And for the first time in years, he felt warmth spread through him.

A short drabble for card 4 “Tony Stark” for the @buckybarnesbingo flash event, because I made a mistake. Can also be found on Ao3.
