Have You Seen This Fanfic?

Have You Seen This Fanfic?

I once again find myself turning to fellow fandom lovers in hopes of finally tracking down a Bucky fic that has been on my mind for YEARS!!!

It’s a super angsty fic, where the heroine (I can’t remember if she’s a “Reader” or OFC) loves Bucky but he starts dating someone else (I want to say it was Dottie?) Buck begins neglecting his Avenger duties and when the heroine gets into a life or death situation (because Buck refuses to go with her / he won’t answer his phone?) it might be too late to save her.

I want to say it was a five chapter fic, I read it all but the last chapter and of all the fanfic that I’ve ever read this one HAUNTS ME! Buck was such a dick to the heroine and seemed rattled when he realizes he may have caused her death.

I don’t think I’ve gotten through one of your series without sobbing at some point and I love you for it @tropes-and-tales

Rafael Barba Prompt:  “You’re overthinking – I’m yours...”

From the “Soft Sentence Starters” list, found here!

A splendid anon sent in this ask a very long time ago:  "“You’re overthinking– I’m yours. That’s all I want to be.” with Barba please? xx”

Part of the prompt mini-series:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10

You didn’t see Barba for a while after that morning, and as time passed, the more your anger at him mellowed.  And when you finally caught a glimpse of him at the courthouse, he gave you a sad smile and a nod, and any lingering resentment disappeared completely.

Help!!

I’ve spent two days scrolling through tumblr, Pinterest and Google trying to find a piece of fan art inspired by last week’s episode of Mandalorian (“The Jedi”) and I can’t find it!! 😭

It’s of Baby Yoda (aka Grogu) “talking” to Ahsoka and telling her all of the “names” Din had given to him like “No”.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

IT HAS BEEN FOUND!!

I CANNOT thank @xoxalwayschangingxox for pointing me totally in the right direction!!! Especially since time had warped certain parts of the story in the summary I provided 😅

The so-much-better-than-I-remembered-it story is the five-part I Needed You by @ofheroesandvillains - I’ve linked it here because _everyone_ needs to give it a read IMO!

@xoxalwayschangingxox I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am, I can only hope that one day I can return the favor or pay it forward ❤️

I Needed You - Bucky Barnes

Muse Food & My Fics

However long ago when I created this tumblr it was with the intent of sharing the imagines I’d been writing and posting on Instagram (under the same handle) here. A quick scroll through my Archive and I never posted one :-/ 

My relationship with writing has suffered in the last few years. I lost all will to read or write after my first bout of depression. It was actually imagines that got me reading again and ultimately writing again. Bout #2 + life circumstances changing snatched everything from me again. 

But yet again, it is the fandoms that saved me. Leading up to “The Last Jedi” I found myself spending more and more time on tumblr and Ao3 and more and more time mentally with the men of Star Wars. Suddenly my MIA muse began fluttering about again. Random little ideas or scenes scribbled out on edges of paper. The edges of paper turned into a legal pad, which turned into a full notebook...

Last week I reached the final page in said notebook and began a second. For the first time in five/six years I’ve even found myself writing out little scenes or wishing my muse could focus long enough for me to freaking write. But I’m trying to learn from past mistakes - I don’t want to put pressure on myself (Muse Killer #1); so, my muse is throwing around ideas like pollen in Spring but I don’t want to pressure myself...what’s a lass to do?

I have met and followed/stalked some amazing writers on tumblr and AO3, ones that could probably slaughter some of the ideas I’ve had and turn them into masterpieces...but I’m not a huge fan of making requests. I’ve been there, the pressure and incessant selfishness that comes with accepting requests (Muse Killer #2) was one of the things that made me fall out of love with writing. 

That said...I’ve been offering what I’ve called “Muse Food” around tumblr and AO3 - little ideas that I offer with no strings attached. Maybe the writer’s muse finds the idea yummy and takes it and makes it their own, maybe it ends up the untouched dish at a pot luck.

Thinking on all of this, I’m curious what writers - those I’ve read and those I’ve yet to discover - think about maybe posting some of my ideas on here where hopefully they will nourish your muses and I’ll get to see how folks interpret the ideas and make them their own. Equally, I could perhaps help generate some reading material for myself as I struggle through life at the moment (to give some context, my life is split between a crazy work schedule, being a full-time caretaker for condition unknown for my beloved Nana who took me in and raised me, and then my own health). Needless to say, I count on fiction as my life escape! 

Please tag your favorite/fellow writers and let’s see if this is something I should start doing.

That first journal the statistics are under the cut.

Kylo Ren/Ben Solo/Solo Triplets - 9 Ideas

Reylo - 2 Ideas

Sorry Finn fans, I look at him and squee at his cinnamon roll-ness and kind of coo over him like a little brother so no muse ideas yet.

I’m not a huge fan of RPF, I was for a bit, I even wrote some, but it was always in the mentality of looking at said person in a character-light and not in a person-light. These ideas could probably be tweaked to work with characters.

Fandom | The Walking Dead

Negan - 1 Idea

The craziest part, I’ve never even seen an episode of TWD. I’ve not read any of the comics either. But you freaking writers and your amazing fics got me sucked in!

Hey, I just wanted to drop by and say thank you so much for your support on my Daryl x reader fic. Your comments just brighten my day and honestly makes it feel like my writing is worth it, so thank you so much ❤️❤️

Your writing IS worth it! It’s been years since I’ve written/posted anything but I definitely know the inspiration/muse food that readers share can not only help your writing/muse but really can make all things a little brighter. I always valued when people would comment on my work and I always try and take a few moments to show my appreciation as a reader. Seriously, thank you for writing such a captivating story that is deep and original and a total blast to read!
