Reading helps writing. 42

About me:

I am here because I need a break from the world. I’m 41 — most certainly in the category of “too old for Tumblr”. That’s a bit embarrassing, or it would be if I cared… which I *sometimes* do. I comfort myself with the knowledge that, well, who the fuck really cares? Internet Karen?

I do have a regular life outside of Tumblr. I am an educated professional with a nice little family. Part of me still feels lost and unwelcome in the world, though. I have never found a place where I feel like I belong, but I am still looking.

I intend to share my fanfics at some point, but I am still working up my nerve. I appreciate those of you who do write that much more. I try to reblog every worthwhile post I read now, the intent being to boost the work of creators. I’m shit at writing comments, though, because I am both (1) very private, and (2) living in a constant state of overwhelm because of my regular life and, well, *gestures vaguely at the world*.

Anyway, thanks for being here.

Edited to Add: I’m 42 now. Hoping this year allows me to find some answers to life, the universe, and everything.

Bucky Barnes is my loving best friend/boyfriend/husband in my dreams.

Plus Size reader in mind! A little self-indulgent.

Bucky is the first person to ever pick you up

You had always been just a little insecure about your size. You had always been bigger than than your classmates. They would be effortlessly picked up by some of the guys in your class. You wanted to be lifted as well to be thrown around like a weightless object, but we're too worried that they would try and wouldn't be able to, so you put away your desire until you met Bucky, the idea of being thrown around like a doll reawakened when you saw his muscles.
You let yourself dream about him a little too often and you were beginning to become delusional again.
But one day you were doing something with bucky (walking around town) when you nearly stepped into traffic, him and his super senses just barely scooped you up into his arms and pulled you out of traffic.
You didn't even know what was going on until you felt his strong arms around you and nearly melted then and there.
"Be more careful." He scolded.

Accidental Kisses

Avengers Bucky

Summary: Your lips accidentally end up on Bucky a few times due to your overall clumsiness around him. Feeling mortified, Bucky stops by and re-assures you it's ok...with his lips on yours.

Content warnings: Mild language, sweet Bucky, nothing else I can think of.

"Hey" 

You eagerly waved at Nat who entered the gym. 

"Hey." 

She flopped down on the mat you were sitting on, stretching and looked over at you. 

"You good to go on missions again?" she asked, eyeing your ankle. 

"Yup. Got the all-clear this morning from medical. I'm back on!" 

You high-fived her and the slap echoed in the expansive room. 

"Someone's excited."

Laryngitis

Avengers Bucky

Summary: You're super talkative and your fellow agents tease you, but you don't care. You always chat up the quiet hunky super soldier who always manages to spend some time around you. One day when you can't talk due to an illness, Bucky gets concerned and seeks you out to make sure you're ok. He ends up talking to you for once.

Content warnings: Mild language (if any), fellow co-workers are mean to reader but they don't let that bother them, sweet Bucky, fluff.

"Hey Bucky!" you waved at the imposing figure who stood in your office. He smiled and nodded while he grabbed a file from your co-worker. 

"How's it going today?" 

"Good." 

"Ooh, look at my plant, isn't it cute!" You pointed to your little succulent on your desk that sat in a small pot you got from a market. 

The pot said, "feeling cute, might die later" and it made you giggle when you bought it. 

Bucky wandered over and smiled at it. 

"So, got anything fun planned tonight?" you asked.

Previous chapter < MASTERLIST > Next chapter

Sharon Carter, of all people, manages to knock some sense into your favorite super soldier.

Word count 2.8k

Warnings: Sharon Carter and her brutal honesty, Bucky Barnes and his ignorance

Bucky returned from his mission physically unharmed, but his conscience didn’t let him off so easily. Sharon was a great partner, but she wasn’t you. She was very business-like but cold. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her, but he couldn’t quite open up to her the way he had with you. Bucky wondered if he would ever be able to bare his soul to another human being again. He had given so much of himself to you, was it too much to ask for just a little in return?

9.1: STEVE & BUCKY

Previous chapter < MASTERLIST > Next chapter

Steve tries to convince his oldest friend that he is making a mistake.

Word count: 666

Warnings: Bucky being dumb and oblivious.

Steve found Bucky hidden away in the gym the next morning. He cornered Bucky while he was aggressively curling his biceps with a couple of dumbbells.

“Buck?”

Bucky ignored him, focusing on his weights in his hands.

“Bucky, will you stop for a minute?”

Bucky, providing perfect examples of the concepts of “projecting” and “mirror imaging”

ICYMI: the subtle use of these commonly engaged in human behaviors is a mark of great writing.

You're gonna make me cry with comments like these!

Good! You deserve it! You’re genuinely very good.

Let me know if you need another beta reader or person to bounce ideas off of.

Saccharine | Modern!Anakin Skywalker

What do you get when you mix a college Halloween party with beer and a pretty girl wearing a pirate costume?

A jealous Anakin Skywalker.

rating: explicit | pairing: anakin skywalker x afab!reader | wc: 5.3k | read on ao3 warnings: fluff, friends to lovers, drinking, jealousy/possessiveness, SMUT [fingering, oral (m & f receiving), unprotected p in v, come eating/swallowing, mild degradation, like a really brief moment of lactation kink(???)]

the lovely @queenie-official asked for someone to write anakin and reader at a halloween party and anakin gets jealous. i have no idea where 5.3k words came from but y'all i love this one!

and i dedicate this to @hanasnx because we were talking about how we would suck anakin's dick every day if we could.

Here’s the thing about Halloween parties— or rather, Halloween and parties.

Anakin hates both of them. Halloween is a stupid holiday where girls wear short skirts, low-cut tank tops, and a pair of generic animal ears and call it a “costume”. Then they complain about being cold and ask for your jacket. It’s fucking October in New York, what do they expect?

Another You (1)

an anakin skywalker/jedi consular!reader fic set during the clone wars

the pitch: best friends with anakin since he had joined the jedi order, you hadn’t expected to catch feelings for him, not that hard, at least. his intentions were clear — his heart already enraptured by the nubian senator, leaving you to ruminate about the prospect of letting go of not just him, but maybe everything. until another anakin shows up, and your — your universe’s anakin starts behaving strangely.

A/N: this is a gift for my padawan, @kaizsche! happy birthday, kai! i hope you enjoy this fic! i return from an unexpectedly long hiatus with a three-part fic and i hope that all my other readers enjoy this short-fic too! a note to all readers — there’s no y/n here, the reader’s nickname for the fic is sky. that’s all from my end! happy reading!

part one — and you are?

word count: 3, 380

part one (here) | two | ....

As a Consular, you were trained to study the deepest abyss of the Living and the shrouded myths of the Cosmic. Albeit well-trained with a lightsaber, being a Jedi meant forsaking weapons for words. Diplomacy over bloodshed. Knowledge, insights, and lessons instead of learning the different ways of besting war-mongering droids and bureaucrats.

You look back at the looming hallways of the Temple, letting out a sigh as you turn around to watch the warships meander above the setting skies through the windows. The sun used to shine brighter, you think, but perhaps it’s the shadows that don’t let the light reach the galaxy anymore.

A Nubian ship soars between where the indigo darkens the pale orange in the sky and another wave of longing and sorrow digs deeper into your heart.

It had been almost a standard week since the Five Hundred and First Legion had arrived for their monthly rotation to protect Coruscant.

“Let’s hope we make it a week and not get called back to bust some Seppies since the 501st seems to be the only competent one to get some wins.”

You couldn’t stop the smile that had tugged at your lips.

“Don’t let Obi-Wan hear you say that.”

notes: decided to not go full smut with this one, but there will be something smutty and probably bucky related posted soon lol thank you in advance for reading and as always, comments and reblogs are welcome and so so appreciated! 🩵

You suck in a sobering breath as you spot Bucky at the kitchen table, sitting with nothing but a mug of coffee in front of him and a stoic look on his perfectly chiseled face. His flesh hand is holding his head as he rubs at his temple with his thumb.

Are you really gonna do this?

Sam sees you in your pause at the corner of the hallway and comes up to meet you.

“You look like you’re having regrets, but I am begging you, please don’t go back on me now,” he whispers as you both look on at Bucky still alone in the kitchen.

“I don’t know, Sam… This feels kind of mean.”

“Don’t think of it as being mean, think of it as you making my day!”

You agree to be used as bait for a mission

"So everyone's good with the plan?" You asked, after briefing out the step by step that was out together for this latest mission.

Looking around the room, you were met with silence but an almost unanimous nod. When your eyes landed on Bucky, his gaze dropped to the floor. He had something in his mind. But didn't want to speak up.

"Fab, okay, we have three hours until it's go time. Okay? See you all back here ready to go?"

The small group of people made their way out the room, leaving just you and Bucky.

"If you have something to say. Now would be the time." You folded your arms across your chest. "But if it has anything to do with my capability or skill. I don't want to hear it."

"It doesn't doll, I-"

"Enough with the nicknames, you don't get to do that to me now."

"Sorry, I just. I still care about you, and I didn't mean to hurt you."

"Oh, that's fantastic. What's it going to take for you to get it into your head, that you don't get to play the victim when you ended things. I never wanted to break up. I was too much for you. Okay? Or whatever the bullshit excuse you said was."

"I said I wasn't ready for something as serious as what you were asking for."

"But only after we slept together and started looking for a house. Oh and I introduced you to my whole family. Only after that right?" You couldn't stop the snarky tone laced into your words.

"...Yeah."

"So what exactly don't you like about this plan?"

"The lack of contact we will have with you. You say you can't wear a earpiece, there's no cameras in this place. So how exactly will we know you need help. If, if you need help."

"I won't. I've got this."

He shook his head, "that's not good enough. What happens if you accidentally blow your cover and they cart you off somewhere to get information from you. None of us will know because you're off in some back room somewhere."

"I'll wear a panic button, will that make you feel better."

"Okay, um, yeah that will. What do you have in mind?"

"Haven't taken it off Bucky." You moved the collar of your dress, revealing the necklace he had made for you.

As if he could look any more like a lost puppy, his expression only got more solemn.

"Good, okay, I-"

"I know this is worth nothing. But I'm still in love with you. Guess I just really hate the fact you don't want me."

we’re still friends

pairing: bucky barnes x reader summary: you're still friends. it's wonderful. it's mature. and though you've changed in your endeavors, you still have plenty in common, like that you're both still hopelessly, irrevocably in love with each other. based on this song - we're still friends - amy winehouse

a.n. - back to listening to amy winehouse records in between listening to TTPD. hope you guys enjoy! 💛

you weren't sure what you were expecting.

you thought knowing he would be here would make it easier. it's why you thanked sam for the heads up. you knew he would be here. you had weeks to ready yourself for this moment.

still, nothing could prepare you seeing him for the first time since that quiet separation.

friends.

you were friends, you reminded yourself.

it’s wonderful.

it’s mature.

you’re friends.

friends that have explored every inch of each other. friends that have bared their souls to each other, that know their deepest, darkest, most intimate secrets.

yes, you were friends, but you knew in every fiber of your being that it shouldn't be this hard to see a friend. it shouldn't hurt this much to see your friend walk through the door without you by his side.

9: NEW DAWN

Previous chapter < MASTERLIST > Next chapter

You and Bucky deal with the fallout of the undercover mission.

Word count 3.3k

Warnings: reader coming to terms with Bucky's decision, trying to move forwards, betrayal, more miscommunication, anger, Bucky Barnes acting like a giant tool, Daisy Johnson and Melinda May make an appearance

The next morning you woke early, determined to carry out your plan. Slipping out of the compound, you drove out of the parking garage in one of the convertibles with the top down and wind blowing through your hair. It was freezing cold and you knew it was reckless because it looked like the heavens would open at any minute, but you didn’t care. You arrived at Coulson Academy just as several large raindrops started to fall, and you sniffed slightly from the cold air. Putting the top up, you got out of the car and ran for shelter under the large awning of the Academy entrance.

I actually really like this for Cricket. I think she should take some time to do her own thing. I hope Bucky goes on several missions back to back, with only enough time to see Priya in between. She can dominate his time and direct his attention elsewhere so Bucky doesn’t even know Cricket is gone — but he slowly starts to figure out that Priya’s awful. Meanwhile, Cricket gets at least a semester/course cycle of teaching in.
