Unknown Error

Characters: Scotty x reader

Summary: Sometimes tech support is just tech support, sometimes it’s the start of a beautiful friendship.

Word Count: 2370 words

Prompt: “I need you to stop laughing and come help me.” And Office AU.

A/N: This is my submission for the amazingly wonderful @yallneedtrek and her brilliant writing challenge.  It’s been a while since I wrote Scotty and it kinda got away from me here, so I really hope this isn’t a huge disappointment.

That stupid tone that would haunt your nightmares rang out from your speakers, alerting your work colleagues to your incompetence yet again as the error message flashed up on the screen.  This was ridiculous.  You were damn good at your job, so good Enterprise had head hunted you and offered you quite a substantial package to get you here.  You were NOT going to be beaten by a bloody machine!  Clicking the screen a few times you were rewarded with the same error tone and message.  “Fucks sake.” You muttered to yourself as you angrily slammed your fingers over your keyboard, typing furiously.  Suddenly a little box in the bottom left of your screen popped up with a message.

Protip: at all times, you should carry at least one Mysterious Device on you at all times, so that in the event of your capture in enemy territory, they will be convinced that you carry an important secret and therefore have more value to them alive than dead.

The Mysterious Device does not need to have a real function beyond having moving parts and confusing mechanisms. Maybe it goes “whirr” and “pop” and is suggestive of some kind of container.

My favourite genre of movie is 'vapid girly teen flicks from the 90's and early 00's that actually have important feminist and socially conscious messages'.

Some examples;

Don't be afraid to break the pointless and sexist rules society has imposed upon you, especially if they stand between you and your dreams.

Learn to recognise your self worth beyond the trappings of success.

Recognising and working to correct your white privilege, is not only the right thing to do morally, but will also lead to a more diverse and exciting playing field.

You absolutely do not have to sacrifice your femininity or sense of self in order to make your way in a traditionally masculine field.

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.

Trump not knowing the difference between the Pulitzer, the Nobel, and the word “noble” really is an object lesson in how impostor syndrome never seems to hit the folks who actually deserve it

Quiet Life Chapter 1

Pairing: Steve/Reader (Platonic, eventual Romantic) 

Word Count: 1,416

Warnings: None

AN: Let’s hear it for the first chapter of a full Marvel fic! And my first slow burn! This is for @until-theend-oftheline  ‘s Seasons of Love - Heat of Summer challenge! Hope you enjoy, be sure to let me know if you do! 

Prompt: “I told you I’d save you a seat in hell,”

There’s nothing like summer in the city. D.C. was busy in the summer and the heat oppressive. You wanted to have words with the people who decided a swamp was a good place for a city. But even in the middle of the city, your neighborhood was quiet. Kids played outside on their own. A little park was close by, but you could still see the Washington Monument from your window. Steve lived around the corner from you and you had taken over his apartment, it was one of the only on your block that still had air conditioning. An overnight storm had dropped limbs on power lines and knocked out half the street. Steve had left for a mission and as soon as the temperatures started rising in your apartment, you used your spare key to get into his. You wandered through his apartment searching through his refrigerator.

After everything that happened in Ragnarok, imagine Thor hearing about Steve and Tony’s fight and being like “Really?! Thats why you all stopped working together?! Just get over it! I did! I’m still friends with Loki and he’s betrayed me three times since breakfast! This petty mortal shit is nothing!”

Loki: “Can confirm, poisoning his mead right now.”

Thor: “Ha! I’ve built up an immunity.”

Steve: “Well, we disagreed about this big political thing, and I mean big - almost every country in the world was involved.” Thor: *nodding* “Right.” Steve: “So we started to fight, I mean really fight.  We each had about half a dozen friends backing us up.” Thor: *nodding* “Always best to bring your friends along” Steve: “And by the end, it was just me and Tony, and we… we really pounded each other…. no holding back.” Thor: *nodding* “The most honorable way to fight” Steve:  “So now we’re not friends anymore.” Thor: “… you lost me.”

gentle reminder

your triumphs & successes don’t need a disclaimer - it’s okay to celebrate yourself and be proud of your accomplishments, no matter how big or small, no matter what anyone else thinks
