New York Might Be A Sprawling Concrete Jungle, But The Term "six Degrees Of Separation" Is Less A Theory

New York might be a sprawling concrete jungle, but the term "six degrees of separation" is less a theory and more a fucking day-to-day reality, especially if you wear spandex for a living. To be fair, in a city of eight million stories, Peter should hardly be surprised that he eventually collides with a one-armed super-soldier and whatever-the-hell-category Deadpool falls into. Should be hardly surprised, but almost is, even though it was a long time coming. Village. This city is a fucking village and, seriously, there should be a support group for this—'Anonymous Super-People of NY', or something equally cliché.

A completely filthy, untrue, occasionally ridiculous, and canon-compliant story about how Peter Parker falls in love, Bucky Barnes meets Cable, and Deadpool finally gets a llama.

Omg, I love it so much.

For maukree's awesome story.

(Now, you have to finish it, hon. )

Bucky knows what people see when they look at him: the metal arm, the distant stare, the scars both visible and hidden. Damaged and, obviously, stupid for letting the government stomp all over him, stupid for signing up to get broken in the first place. It has to be that, right? Stupid. That's the only reason why this kid, who picked out a restaurant too fancy for Bucky’s comfort, would sit here and lie his ass off by saying, "I have a stalker," and think he is getting away with it.

That hooker WinterSpider AU that someone actually asked for. Peter is an escort looking for a driver, and Bucky needs a distraction. It's not what you think. Unless it is.

I am losing my shit over this. Omg omg omg. So many ideas, so little time. I think some of the other Bingo cards might have to take a back seat, unless there are overlapping themes. aKJFHkljfhkljsHDF. I think I am going to have to go for the blackout here. Which is... probably something I am going to fail at, but I can absolutely try.

WinterSpider Bingo Round 1!

Hello! Welcome to WinterSpider Bingo, a creative fandom event for our favorite boys: Bucky Barnes and Peter Parker! No sign-ups for this event, just fun! There are two (2) cards (found below), one sfw and one nsfw, with five (5) alt prompts if you’d like to/need to swap any of the squares. You can do one card, or both!

Standard bingo rules apply: five (5) spaces horizontal, vertical, diagonal, four corners + free space, or black out! But you can fill as many or as few of the squares as you’d like, no pressure! You can write fic, make fanart, playlists and more! All fanworks are welcome, and there are no word count minimums or maximums for fic.

This event is open from August 1st - December 31st

The AO3 collection (winterspiderbingo) will open on August 1st. Also, please tag this blog in your posts here on tumblr, and use #winterspiderbingo so that your work can be shared here for all to enjoy!

The Rules for this event can be found on AO3 on the collection's main profile page, or under the cut! Plain text of the prompts can be found in the image description of each card.

If you have any questions, the ask box is open, or you can message one of the mods: @papermacherainbow or @starksvinyls!

Have fun, and happy creating!

RULES

One work per square and it must be a new work, this does include a new chapter of a WIP or new part of an ongoing series! Anything created prior to the start of this event can not count for a square on your card, however. If you are writing fic and would like to create one multi-chapter fic, you are more than welcome to do so, but each chapter must be it’s own prompt/square. 1a. You may use two prompts for one fill if one is from the SFW card, and one is from the NSFW card!

Please use proper trigger and content warnings!

Combining fills with other events is a-okay!

Absolutely no kink shaming will be tolerated within this event! If you are uncomfortable with something in someone’s fill, please just block that content tag and/or user and move on.

Absolutely NO generative AI “art” or fic will be accepted as a fill for this event.

There is one SFW card and one NSFW card for everyone. There will be five (5) Alt Prompts on the cards for if you aren’t vibing with one of the squares for whatever reason. You can use none or all 5 alts, it’s up to you and what you’d like to create fan works for!

Have fun!!!!!!!!

Bucky Barnes is practically a walking, talking embodiment of bullshit.

It’s clear, from the moment he strolls into Tony’s life with a story so soaked in tragedy it should come with its own violin soundtrack. That's Tony's first thought when Steve, with his Boy Scout earnestness, introduces him to the 'new and reformed' man himself.

Tony's bullshit detector doesn't just ping; it goes into a fucking meltdown.

For a heartbeat, Tony mentally prepares to craft a scathing critique of whatever idiot designed this thing. Then, with a hiss, the box obliges, its lid splitting apart. Some fog rolls out.

"Oh, you dramatic bitch, I love it," he clicks his tongue.

Inside the box, right on top, there's a note scrawled in sharp, chaotic, arrogant loops and lines. No signature, but then, Tony’s ego never did require one.

"Everyone loves a man in a uniform," the note reads, and Tony can't help the snort.

"Cute. Real cute," he mutters, moving the note aside.

Five times Tony time-travels back to the past and one time Bucky doesn't. Rating: Explicit @winterironevents
