Well…damn, OP.

I read this and wondered:

What kind of life do you live/have you lived, poet?

What do you do on the daily?

Are you a worker bee in a cubicle hive, and have a vivid imagination,

Or do you actually have experiences in life that wrest these memories from your brain?

Did you write this while driving home at the end of a long-assed day?

Or were you sitting somewhere alone, thinking of those times/that time when…

Whatever.

I’m reading this and all I can think is that I should just burn my refrigerator poetry words set.

ART for Sanctuary, a Taste in the Mouth, Ch 2

My newest Star Wars femslash fic is moving along on Ao3, but I have to share the art here, so you all can appreciate it.

By @archfey-edda as part of @swbigbang, here's the art they did for Ch 2:

I'm just mad for it, for obvious reasons. That's Skad in the front of the crowd, with Fennec and Drash on the rooftops. The sense of motion!

You can read the chapter that goes with it here:

Romance, action, adventure, all my favorite tropes. I'm proud of this one. I'm sure you'll love it.

If Fennec Shand and Garsa Fwip aren’t presently on your rare pair radar, they will be when you read this.

Romance, Action, Adventure. And the art for this series is bangin’.

Excerpts from Sarah Bucky Headcanons, Part 4 —

“For Sarah, Just Sarah” by @btwxsixesandsevens

(moodboard by @tllgrrl)

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Sarah knows she’s pretty. She’s got rich dark skin, thick hair, eyes like jewels. If she’s wearing yellow or white, any guy who likes dark-skinned women will stop and have something to say. Brothers who don’t like dark…well, that’s their loss. She’s got some ways to turn a man’s head, but it isn’t like that’s that difficult a thing to do.

All this together means she’s not actually that surprised by Bucky’s attention at the beginning. She sees what they have in common and knows she has a way of cocking her hip that makes men lose their vowels for a second. Plus she can cook. Yeah, men want to come around.

It isn’t the first look that surprises her. Or even the second one. It is the third look.

It is the dancing, respectful but all the hotter for it. The fact that he always asks her if she needs something when he goes into the kitchen. It is the way he drops his eyes like he’s bowing to her. It is the way he listens to her, even when she’s not saying anything important. It is the way he compliments her, gracious and sincere: “My God, Kitten, you look stunning.”

She’s not vain but, Lord Above, if she could hear that every day for the rest of her life she’d be okay.

ICYMI

Sarah Wilson Appreciation 💛👑💛

Part of getting older is realizing how absolutely insane it is that basically every form of media is constantly trying to convince us that the most interesting moments of the lived human experience are happening in HIGH SCHOOL…… girl who gives a flying fuck what 16 year olds are doing.

The post-Flag Smashers cookout scene that closes The Falcon and The Winter Soldier was edited down from this:

* * * * * *

That newly-released for the BluRay Special Features cut shows what the writers intended for Bucky’s post-Winter Soldier life.

For me, this little scene beautifully precedes one of my all-time favourite fics that begins Sarah & Bucky’s relationship and starts a whole series called The SarahBucky Songbook & B-Sides:

In celebration of SarahBucky Canon Day (screw all that, it’s SarahBucky Canon Week) here’s the first “song” in the Songbook:

In my mind, the party on the dock continued at Sarah’s home.

Winter Shortbread: a SarahBucky AU by @tllgrrl aka Nefertiri Jones

Relationship: Sarah Wilson/James “Bucky” Barnes | Rating: SFW

* * * * * *

Sarah Wilson and James “Bucky” Barnes are both college professors.

He teaches Political Science and Labor Law on one side of the sprawling campus. On the other side, she teaches Mechanical Engineering and she’s also a Faculty Advisor for a study group in African-American Literature with an emphasis on Black Women authors.

People never guess the two of them are Professors because the misconception is that “Professor” means Old White Man.

Without fail, at the beginning of the school year, some undergrad who didn’t know would try to flirt, thinking maybe she was one of them, until they found out that she was actually one of their teachers.

“Well,” her friends would laugh, “you know what they say!”

“Yeah girl. Even we can’t tell how old we really are!”

Once she wore a head wrap, which sparked a rumor that she was West African royalty. A princess studying in America. Even when she was wearing an LSU t-shirt and jeans, many people believed it.

And as for him? Fellow members of the Law Faculty call him “Professor GQ”.

“How can someone who looks like that be serious?” one of them grumbles, watching him walk across the campus mall.

“Yeah! He’s just wearing jeans, a t-shirt, motorcycle boots and a sport jacket. A sport jacket! Who looks hot in a sport jacket?!”

“Professor Barnes. That’s who,” Professor Daniels drawled, then proceeded to drain her water bottle after he walked by.

(Gulping down his water, Dr. Trudeau agreed.)

Shameless Self-Reblog Sunday! A SarahBucky College Professors/Coffeeshop AU blend, with a dash of meet cute.

And an idea for the coffeeshop logo. I thought of going with New Orleans colors, but text legibility is key for me, so I went with a brighter background, and the text in the same colour family but dark. It is a possible work-in-progress.

All that aside, Thank You for reading! (Or even re-visiting!)

Sanctuary, a Taste in the Mouth

NEW!

After the destruction of Sanctuary, Fennec Shand pulls Garsa Fwip from the wreckage. As their relationship deepens, there's a new business in Mos Espa -- one the two of them are determined to shut down.

Can Fennec balance serving her Daimyo Boba Fett, teaching the Mods how to be better mobsters, doing the right thing, and still falling in love?

Romance, action, adventure, all my favorite tropes. I'm proud of this one. I'm sure you'll love it.

Oh, and the ART! That's from @archfey-edda and their work is STELLAR. There's more of that to come.

Written for @swbigbang. Thank you to all the mods on that event!

With the editorial help of @mformara and the language support (and emotional support) of @tllgrrl.

There. That's the credits settled. Go read Ch 1.

Question for you Tumblr users who know how this place works:

I’ve looked through Tumblr’s “Help” center and it’s absolutely not helpful, so here goes.

When I come across the “More Posts Like This” section at the bottom of a post, when I click on the little squares that are links to other posts, nothing happens anymore.

Not even if the link is to something of mine.

Anybody know what’s going on? Do I need to delete the app and reload it?

Heart Beat: a SarahBucky Vampire AU - Chapter 5: Safe House, Pt 2 - “A Whole New World” by @tllgrrl aka Nefertiri Jones

Relationship: Vampire!Cardiologist Sarah Wilson / Vampire!Vampire Hunter Bucky Barnes | Rating: SFW/M | Not twinkly vampires.

Summary:

[Now comes the mourning.]

Sarah.”

Turning away, he let her grieve.

He had wept, too. He still remembered what happened during his own Awakening.

He too had mourned his own death.

She begins to learn about her status, and her new life.

Barnes steps into a new role as well.

* * * * * * * * * *

Sarah was sitting on the edge of the bed when she felt Barnes approach the entrance to the loft’s sleeping area. She quickly stood and backed away.

“May I come in?”

His voice was low, just above a whisper, but he saw her clenched fists, and the flinch when he spoke. Her eyes were dazed, darting around the room as if she was searching for—trying to locate—something.

He felt her distress before he crossed the loft from the kitchen to the far corner of the living space.

[Dammit to Hell. I have to fix this situation.]

There was no way he couldn’t feel her. He was her Maker. She was in the process of Becoming, was fighting it, and for her, right now all of it was too much. For both of them.

She wasn’t panting, but her breathing was quick. He could hear it.

Because of his advanced age, he could shut out extraneous sensations at will, but he didn’t want to shut her out. He wanted to feel her, but he didn’t want her to be in pain. And he had to get her to feed before making her feed against her will.

It had been easy while she was semiconscious and in the initial stages of the transformation. He would lie with her, and while holding her, slit a vein open at his wrist. She would latch onto him, drink for a few minutes, and slip back into darkness.

The third time, hearing the soft noises she made as she fed almost lulled him into a deep, peaceful sleep with her, but before he drifted off, he caught himself and quickly left the bed, spending the rest of the night in the living room, looking out the window, listening to the City. And listening to her.

All in all, it seemed like her transition from Mortal to Vampire would be relatively smooth.

Then she fully awakened, and for the past 48 hours, getting her to willingly feed again had been an uphill battle. An understatement if there ever was one.

He’d tried several times to convince her to feed. He even told her, in unflinching, no-words-or-feelings-spared detail, the consequences of her not fully feeding. The terror and agony, the madness. But she didn't care. She wasn't going to drink anybody's blood.

Especially not his.

That's when he decided to have the Associates make a stop on the way back to the safe house.
