To Be Without You

Pairing: Din Djarin x Gn!Reader

Word count: 715

Summary: Comfortember day twelve – dreams

Warnings: nightmares, mention of child death, hurt/comfort

A/N: you can’t get Comfortember without pain. That’s my justification for this. Also this is a day late by 13 minutes and that’s because I spent the usual three hours trying to name this shit.

You’ve been here before, on this desert wasteland, air dry and lungs full of sand, but it wasn’t like this last time. You weren’t staring down at the broken bodies of your husband and son.

No, they didn’t die then, before, you had saved them. So why are you screaming for them to wake up? Begging for them to open their eyes, pleading with the Maker to take you instead.

No, they hadn’t died that day.

So why does this feel so real?

Then, after a heartbeat, Din’s yelling your name but his lips are closed and cold. Blue like the beach you got married on.

The yelling became louder, more persistent, more determined and you closed your eyes, letting your mind focus on the words circling the air around you.

Arms wrapped around you, strong and unwavering and you don’t understand how you’re being comforted when there’s no one around you.

The arms tighten and your eyes fly open, four walls surrounding you; a soft white, nothing like the red specks across the desert sand.

“Cyar’ika you need to breathe.”

It’s Din again. His lips are open as words flow out of them, mute to your ears but they look nothing like the cold ones burned on the back of your eyelids for decades to come.

But look is not enough, no you need to feel the warmth. Which is what you do, the desperate reassurance has Din gasping in surprise, body flying back onto the bed and you wasted no time crawling on top of him.

He lets you lead the kiss, understanding that you need this. You let the anguish inside you bleed into his mouth, letting it mix with the love he’s pouring into you.

It’s enough.

Din pulled back but the warmth of him never left as his forehead touched yours, “We’re all okay. Whatever you saw, we’ll get through it I promise.”

You believe him. This isn’t the first time you’ve had this dream and you know it won’t be the last. You fold yourself against his chest, matching the slow breathing pace he’s set for you. In and out, in and out, once more before a horror creeps up your body and settles in your mind, stealing all the air in your lungs, “Where’s Grogu?!”

“In his room,” Din sweeps his thumb over your cheek, wiping away the tears you don��t remember letting fall, “I’ll bring him to sleep with us once you calm down.”

“No, no I need to see him now!”

Din sighed but didn't try to put up a fight with you. He’d lose and you both know it. He kept you tucked against his chest as he sat both of you up, “Do you want to bring him in here or should I set up the pull out couch in his room?”

His arms don’t let go of you as you leave the bed and mumble into his shirt, “His room. I don’t think I can sleep in our bed right now, it’s too much.”

“Okay, I’ll set up the futon for us.” Din said softly, guiding you to your son's room.

You don’t fight off his hands but you do shake your head, “You should go back to our bed. It’s better for your back.”

Din huffed, almost offended, “I’m not leaving you.”

You’re first to enter Grogu’s room, needing so desperately to see him alive, unharmed. You crouched down beside his bed, careful not to wake him as Din started setting up the futon for the night.

“Hey,” Din whispered, hand landing on your shoulder, thumb brushing back and forth in a soothing motion, “The beds set up.”

“He’s so tiny,” You whispered back, tears building back up but you won’t allow them to fall, “I always forget how tiny he actually is.”

“Knowing our little guy he’s probably bigger than most kids his age,” Din pressed a kiss to his tiny green head and then did the same to yours, “You need to sleep, cyar’ika.”

His strong arms wrapped around you, pulling you to the bed as he held you protectively against his chest, letting you breathe in the scent of his person and the soft chamomile that fills Grogu’s room.

“Don’t let go?” You asked.

“Never.” He promised.

A Friend Against Dark

AO3 LINK: [may upload later]

FANDOM: ROTTMNT

A short fic about six year old Raph, his fear of dark and a gift from his dad.

His brothers were small, and Raph knew they didn’t like the dark (if he didn’t like it, so they wouldn’t too, right?). And he was the biggest of them! And the strongest! And the oldest! So he had to be brave!

Raph really, really disliked the dark. It was scary. He couldn’t see in the dark too, so he couldn’t tell if there was a monster or not! And if he couldn’t know that, how was he supposed to protect his brothers from the bad monsters as he had promised?

…

The six-year-old looked around his very dark room. More of a peeked from under the blankets. Then he shut his eyes tightly. Maybe if he closed his eyes, he’d forget the dark existed. Maybe he could dream of nice things. Like pizza! Or uhhh… more pizza? Or Jupiter Jim!

…

Raph opened his eyes. He saw… he wasn't sure what he saw. But he was sure something moved in the dark. So with a small yelp, he jumped out of his bed and sprinted out of his room.

He paid no attention to his surroundings as he ran to his dad's room.

"Daddy!" He cried and jumped to Dad's bed.

Dad's eyes shot awake with terror and jumped on his feet. As Raph hugged him tightly and shut his eyes, Dad Sked with worry: "What's it, Red?"

"In d-dark! Mo-monsters!" Raph buried his head into his dad's robes. "There's one in the dark!"

"Oh…" Dad sighed. Raph felt his arms around him, pulling the turtle into a hug. "You're scared, my son?"

Raph nodded.

"I see. Is it the same one from last night?"

"Y-yes." Then Raph thought for a second. "I'm not sure. But Raph's scared."

"Are you sure it is a monster?" Dad asked this time.

Raph pulled away to look at him. "Of course it is! It must be!"

Dad smiled slightly. "Alright then. I guess there's really nothing to change your mind."

He wasn't sure what Dad meant, but Raph shook his head. Then he went back to hugging him as tightly as possible. He felt Dad hold him and slowly lay on the bed. The warmth of the covers and Dad's repeated rubs on his shell started to calm him.

"Can I sleep with you, dad?" The tiny shaking turtle asked.

"Of course, Red." Dad answered softly.

Raph snuck closer to Dad, as he now felt relaxed and calm. The monster couldn't get him here. He was safe.

Then he realized something, a thought coming to his mind, and he turned abruptly to see Dad as much as he could.

"Dad, what if the monster finds Leo, Donnie and Mikey?" He asked with a new tone of worry.

Dad smiled again, "Don't worry my son. They're safe." He patted his head. "I made sure of that."

Raph relaxed, not questioning how. He closed his eyes, not shutting them tightly this time, knowing everyone was safe.

It didn't take long for him to fall into dreamland. He briefly heard Dad wishing him goodnight.

◇◇◇

The next day Red had completely forgotten about the dark and the monster hiding in there.

Splinter, however, had not. He even had a surprise for his son, a small gift. Something he hoped to help him. Something he hoped would stop Red from crying in fear and running to Splinter's room in terror.

Red lately had been doing this more and more, and it made Splinter feel bad to see one of his boys so afraid for no reason at all. Even if his reactions usually were funny.

And there was the fact that as much as Splinter loved his sons, he was getting tired of waking up almost every night in sheer fear. So he had to find a solution, or else he'd make his already ruined sleeping habits worse.

He truly wanted to find a way to explain and make Red understand that there was nothing in the dark. That those monsters were not real (most of the time). But it was hard to convince a six-year-old this statement was true. So instead Splinter had paid a quick visit outside.

He found the boy watching one of Lou Jitsu's movies, and his brothers surrounded him, sleeping. Most probably they had fallen tired from running around and doing their usual, playing games and accidentally breaking stuff… Ah, he better check if something was missing in the lair. Again.

Red also looked sleepy, his eyes half closed as he watched the movie. Splinter, doing his best not to wake up the rest of the boys, approached him. Quietly he patted Red's back to catch his attention. The eldest turtle turned to see his dad, at first confusion and then the joy of seeing him back beamed on his face.

"Daddy!" He shouted.

Splinter was quick to hush him and pick him up. Luckily the excited statement didn't wake the others. While Red hugged him tightly, Splinter walked out of the room.

Now that they were away from Blue, Purple, and Orange, and there was no chance of waking them up, Splinter put Red down.

"Alright, Red. I want you to stay here and wait for a minute." The rat said as he walked back to grab his gift.

Red gave him thumbs up and smiled widely.

In a short while, Splinter returned with the present in his hands, hidden behind his back.

"Remember the monsters in the dark, Red?" He asked.

Red nodded.

"Today I got you something that will protect you from them all!" Splinter announced, revealing the brown teddy bear he held.

The snapping turtle's eyes sparkled with excitement. Then immediately he grabbed and held on to it, hugging it tightly.

"For me?" Red exclaimed.

"Yes." Splinter confirmed.

Red jumped up and down excitedly, hugging the teddy bear even tighter. "Thank you Daddy!!" He then tackled Splinter with a hug, still holding the bear.

And as the days passed, Splinter didn't wake up to Red's cries.

Raph never again was scared of the dark like before. His teddy bear friend was always there to protect him.

For years, it went on like this. For years, the little gift Splinter gave Raph grew to be one of the most important things for Raph. It ended up being named Brown, and Raph found comfort in hugging it whenever he felt down.

For years, Brown became his best friend. Even if it was worn out, Raph never let go of it, always fixing (or getting it fixed at times) the stitches.

And every time he felt bad, Raph remembered how his dad had been there for him. How he was the one to give his best friend to him.

WIP Tag Game

Rules: In a new post, list the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I was tagged by @flowerparrish to do this again.

For everyone who saw my first round a few months ago, you may recognise some of the titles. Yes, these are, in fact, still the same WIPs.

I have since changed the way my folders are "organised" so I have a few folders:

Different Kinds of Love:

Bad Decisions

Building a Relationship

Love of a hero to his city

unposted WIPs:

"Sometimes I wish I can Strangle you"

(Don't) know who you are

Alpine, Lucky and Deuce; Bucky, Clint and Matt

Amputee!Clint

Birthday "Boy"?

Clara? Or Clint?

Coffee Shop AU

Coverup

Cutting

Diet Culture

Don't try to fix us

Matt didn't cry

Matt goes Deaf

Matt recognises WS

MRP Secret Santa

Nightmares

No voice

Sin

Snow Fall

The Blind Vigilante

The one with the Prank

Posted WIPs:

26 Ways to break Matt Murdock's heart

Comfortember 2023

Hawkdevil AU

Now I wear my scars just like Tattoos

Soumarks and metal arms

Sound and colour

The crossover one

The one with the Breakup

The ones no one asked for

To see the bruises

Tortuga Inn 1

Vampire AU

WarHawk

Domestic WinterHawk AU

As the name implies: everything in the posted WIPs folder is partly (or some entirely) posted at this point (and so is Building a Relationship), but I'm still working on them. Most of those were also in my last 2 WIP Warrior Challenges.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me as many asks as you want, I love answering them <3

And Last but not Least: I'm tagging @foxywrites @ravenmold @mutuallyprime @heretherebewolves @stripedscribe @inkforhumanhands and everyone else who sees this and wants to join.

Monthly Recommendations:

Welcome to a new rec's post.

I decided to include a little writing update into these posts because a weekly one makes no sense when i am writing on something longer.

So i am writing Atoms chapter 8 right now and since they just became too long i have to change the chapter count. So my outline has to be re-organized and i can't tell so far how many chapters it will be. You can read a little snippet here

Now on to the recommendations:

Instagram : Foster Kitten Tails - for your daily dose of kitten cuteness.

TikTok : Glorious Broads - a very inspiring account were woman answer questions about life.

Music: Dermot Kennedy - his new album Sonder gave me 102 fic ideas. (on Spotify)

Podcast: On Purpose from Jay Shetty - so so inspiring and probably many know it already. (on Spotify)

YouTube: Jubilee - a great account about human connection and controversial conversations.

Movies: My Policeman - Please - you have to watch it! So tragic and so so beautiful. (Amazon)

Shows: Homecoming - this series is so interesting. It's about a veteran help programme that is not what it seems to be. When you watch it at first you'll be like "What the hell?" but keep watching it's worth it. I would recommend stopping after season 1 though. It has a good ending. (Amazon)

Halston - such a good series about the famous designer. Ewan McGregor kills it as usual. Highly recommend. ( Netflix)

Little Fires Everywhere - a series about two very different woman who meet and both their lifes almost fall apart. Very complex - fantastic actors all around! The characters seem at first all very unlikable but again it is worth to keep watching. (Amazon)

Documentaries: Halston - very entertaining and well made doc about the fashion designer. (Amazon)

Minimalism- Less is now - the second doc from The Minimalists and it is just as good as the first (I can recommend their podcast too) (Netflix)

Book: Thoughtless by SC Stephens - it's a trilogy about two best friends who love the same woman - it is not for everyone as it contains cheating but i love it. The lead male character is just amazing. I love the first book from his perspective too, it's called Thoughtful.

Fics: the arc of other stars by @dharmasharks

Hairpin Triggers by @bugsandcoffee

not burned, but buried by @dontcallmebree

My Little Angel series by @bittersweet-in-boston

Comfortember by @lapwing-em

Bucky - centric Comfortember by @toxiclxki

Grounding Touch series by Just me_AC

Not Another Romcom (WIP) by @cynefinhome

Thanks for reading and until next month! <3

WIP Game

Thank you to @welcometololaland for the tag! I blame my beloveds @noxsoulmate, @chaotictarlos, and @tailoredshirt for all of these. I’m certain at least one of them encouraged everything that’s *gestures vaguely*

Also- please don’t judge me for what’s going to happen below. It’s been a long time since I’ve played, but I have actually finished a few fics and started new ones so why not.

1. VDay 2. AU Weekend 3. Untitled Document 1: Just a little hurt/comfort that takes place vaguely between 1x05 and 1x08 4. Untitled Document 2: The beginning of the fill for the “Nurse TK” square on my 911 bingo. Featuring Tia Lucy. 5. Don’t Leave me 6. Ice Skating Enemies to Lovers 7. Whatever (again we’re not judging) 8. :) 9. Untitled Document 3: Technically the start to a square on my Kinky Things Happen Bingo. 10. Yeah yeah 11. Untitled Document 4: (i’m kind of excited to continue this). Fills the Trapped in an Elevator square on my 911 bingo. With extra-special guest: Lou the Lizard! 12. Food Truck AU 13.

10 & 11 either for Comfortember if you have anything for it, or any other WIPs you want to share :)

Thanks, @runawaymun!

10. What is the last line of dialogue you’ve written?

Ah, good question! Lemme see ....

“Careful!” Galdor says as he catches his staggering friend.

“Give me a moment, and I will be well.”

“A night, Glorfindel! At the very least. One you will spend in your bed instead of in this chair.”

Whump/comfort, that's what we're doing here! This said, the entire scene might still end up on the cutting room floor...

11. What scene are you most hyped for this chapter/fic?

I'm quite happy with how some of the character moments between Glorfindel and Elrohir turned out. Elrohir's panic attack in the opening chapter, the scene where they await pickup on the beach, and their dinner together spring to mind. I'm a big hurt/comfort fan ;-)

Also, this story is quite action-packed and I had so much fun writing the swashbuckling battle and the sea monster! Also, the bad guy POV chapter was a nice change.

For future chapters, I'm looking forward to having my main character back (Elrohir has been presumed dead and/or unconscious for the past 3 chapters), and finally writing some comfort for all of that whump.

Could I get a bit of Comfortember 2023 for wip wednesday? Author's choice

Yup! You're getting some for day 24: Blankets, featuring a tired and cold Crosshair, who loves his brothers very much even if he doesn't always say or show it. They love him too.

Eventually, he turns his head so he can look out at the room, at his brothers. They’re all winding down too: Hunter and Echo are talking quietly over some card game, Tech is in his own bunk reading something on a ‘pad, and Wrecker is half-asleep across the table. Crosshair closes his eyes again, and lets the warmth and care lull him to sleep.

Find the rules and titles for this week's WIP Wednesday ask game here.

Safe and Sound

Pairing: Tech x gender neutral reader

Word count: 460

Summary: Comfortember day one: safe

Warnings: mentions of vomit but not graphic, reader gets taken by imperial guards, crosshair is with the batch, hurt/comfort, married couple, angst with a happy ending

A/N: help, it’s November 3rd and I just found out about Comfortember. I’m not sure how many I’ll be able to pump out, especially since I’m trying to do domestic december and have twenty wips collecting dust in google docs. I wrote this on the second so it’s still technically by birthday right now. This is my gift to myself. Divider by @saradika

Safe

Four letters, one word whispered in your ear as arms wrapped around you from behind, keeping you close as you sat on the dark cell-block's floor.

You’re safe

You’re okay

I got you

Words whispered again and again, like he’s waiting for you to believe him and you can’t blame him. For the longest time you weren’t safe, you weren’t okay; you were alone. For days, weeks – a full month, Tech informed you, his voice full of raw emotion, nothing like the monotone you’ve come to love.

He doesn’t let go of you, doesn’t care that your hair is unwashed. That your skin is caked with dirt, dried vomit, snot and all kinds of gross stuff and has been for longer than you’re fully able to comprehend at the moment. Tech, your riduur, simply doesn’t bat an eyelash as his lips pressed against your sweaty temple.

“Tech?” You finally managed to find your voice, wincing at the dryness of your throat as you force yourself to speak, “Is everyone okay? Did everyone make it out?”

Your body is pulled back further into Tech’s embrace, a canteen of water pressed against your lips and he slowly urges you to drink a few sips. Once the water was set aside Tech jaw clenched audibly and answered, “You turned yourself in to imperial guards. I understand they were going to kill innocent civilians if you hadn’t, but if you had told us, comm’d us, we would have found another way, cyar’ika. You were gone for five weeks. None of us are okay.”

“I’m sorry,” You choked out an apology, even though you know none of this was truly your fault. It’s the Empire’s, you know that, but that doesn’t stop the tears from rolling down your face, “Maker, I’m so sorry-,”

“Shh,” Tech soothed, hands rubbing up and down your arms, bringing warmth to your body. You hadn’t realised how cold you are until now. You tucked your face into the crook of his neck, “It’s all going to be okay, cyar’ika. Wrecker and Hunter are clearing us a path out of here and Echo has the medbay ready for our arrival. You’re safe, we’re going home.”

Later that night, tucked against Tech’s side, you’ll finally breathe out in relief, safely surrounded by your riduur and kin. For the next few weeks to come you’ll constantly be shadowed by one of the Batch.

Omega and Wrecker will make sure you have a never-ending supply of mantell mix. Echo will make sure every meal you have is homemade, smacking away any hands that try to steal your food. Hunter and Crosshair will be just plain insufferable.

It’ll feel like too much at times but it’s all a reminder that you are safe.

So, now that Fanfic Friday's over, I can (hopefully) finish up some other WiPs, including:

Halloween!Fic

Seriously though, why is Cal so completely blasé about all the sunken clone trooper bodies he's constantly swimming past?' - THE FIC.

10k 11k psychometry fic that I haven't worked on since August but is still poking at my mind. I really want to finish this one for NaNoWriMo, but it probably needs to be scrapped and started again.

At least one Comfortember fic (leaning very heavily towards Day 11 - Holding Hands)

WIP Update - 14 Dec 2022

Had another nicely productive writing week - I touched 10 fics (4 WIPs & 6 new works) for a total of 2414 words.

On Ao3, I posted I posted an AmeriHawk (Clint/Steve) hookup (fade to black) fic, a BruceNat ficlet based on their A:AoU farmhouse scene, a Clint/Thor internal monologue drabble and an elf!Tony &elf-Steve Christmas fluff teamup.

On Tumblr, I posted a Steve & Bucky post CA:CW ficlet for last week’s Flash Fiction Friday prompt: #FFF180 Promise You’ll Write.

Am up to 15 active WIPs (with a couple of maybe TBCs) with my current deadline being the Avengers Bingo, with Man with a Plan and Starkbucks and coming in close behind!

See below cut for the WIPs (arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc) I am working on - feel free to send me prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding any of these projects (or any other WIPs I’ve got out there) – they really help feed the Muse and keep me motivated!

Avengers Bingo [AvB] (Runs thru 24 Dec )

Fourteen fills posted (13 to Ao3) and 0 WIPs - Everything is written!!! I just need to edit and post to get my blackout on this 4x4 card!!! I decided to further challenge myself on this 16-square card by pairing up each square with a unique combo of 2 original MCU Avengers, with the final square being dealers’ choice. With the help of the STB Enthusiasts Discord folks - I’ve got all 16 squares planned out, at least in terms of who to write about, and half of them have some sort of idea or crossover square to go along with them. Feel free to toss other plot bunnies my way…

* B3 - Road Trip - Wrote up and posted Sailing Toward a New Horizon to Tumblr. It’s a Thor & Bruce post-Ragnarok ficlet that also filled a Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF177 Expand Through Horizons] Scheduled for Ao3 on 12/19.

* B4 - Age Gap - Finished up Caught By the Rain and Blinded by the Lightning - a Thor/Tony post CA:CW PWP crossing over with TSB One Night Stand. It came in at 1256 words & is scheduled for Ao3 on 12/23.

* C1 - Opposites Attract - Clint/Thor - Posted Nothing Like Him this morning - an introspective Clint POV drabble. I really struggled with this one. Last weekend, I wrote about 200 words based on the Tumblr headcanon going around about a Bumbling Foreigner whose ignorance of local customs results in him flirting with/proposing to the prince - but it didn’t jell. Tried a moodboard, but wasn’t happy with that either. Finally approached the prompt from a different angle and ended up with what’s linked above.

* D1 - Friends w/ Benefits - Clint/Steve - posted Aiming for the Stars on Friday - an AmeriHawk post-mission fic where heavy flirting leads to a fade to black hookup. It’s crossing over with my MWAPB Hawkeye/Clint Barton and came in at 720 words. I may continue it if/when I have the smut spoons.

* D2 - Romeo & Juliet AU - wrote up Two Friend Groups: Alike in Dignity - Steve (jock) & Tony (geek) trying out for title roles in R&J - despite their respective friend groups objections/grousing about the other clique. It came in at 327 words and will post on 12/21.

* D3 - Bed Sharing - posted Finding Refuge on Ao3 on Monday - it’s a Natasha/Bruce fic that is Age of Ultron based (divergent) and also fills the Comfortember Day 16 prompt: Shelter.

Man With a Plan (Steve Rogers) Bingo [MWAPB] (Runs thru 31 Dec)

Fifteen fills, 3 WIPs and several Vague Ideas/potential cross fills with other bingos. Since the event was pretty much abandoned by its creator (life happens, I get it), I’m finishing this pretty much out of stubbornness and may carry some squares over for inspiration into the new year.

* I1 - Steve is here for TFAtWS - I’ve got Passing the Torch pretty much sorted out - a moodboard for this square paired with a ficlet for my BBB “Oh, hell no" square - Bucky POV (with some extra insider info) of the events where Sam is given Cap’s shield. It’s scheduled for 12/21 with the fic coming in at 339 words.

* G4 - Canon Divergence post CA:TWS - possible crossover with BBB Kill List – Bucky wreaking havoc on Hydra bases and Steve & Sam catch up with him. Not on my Bingo Attack plan list, so probably won’t get done.

* G5 - Friends to Lovers - possibly combine this with my BBB Free & Stucky Mutual Pining square for the Centerfold fic idea I’ve been rolling around = min 950 words if I finish it before this bingo (lower priority)

* O2 - Sex Pollen - A Dusting of Trouble is pretty much wrapped up - Steve and Bucky get curious when they learn Teenage Groot’s pollen is an aphrodisiac. It crosses over with my SRB - Groot square, is currently sitting at 505 words, and scheduled for 12/16. If I’m feeling feisty, I may add another scene/200-ish more words so it crosses over with BBB KINK:Aftercare square (and goes Stuckony)

* O3 - Hawkeye/Clint Barton - see AvB - Friends w/ Benefits above.

* O5 - FREE - Filling this with one of the following: -- Badges for this bingo based on photos of my Steve Rogers SWC figures - participant, bingo and blackout. If I have spare time before Friday.

-- Chapter 1 of Never Have I Ever (But I’d Like to With You) - a pining!Steve POV of the team playing NHIE where he manages to get one over on Tony. It’s scheduled for 12/16 and is coming in at 995 words.

StarkBucks Bingo - Round 3 (SBB_R3) - Ends 31 Dec

Thirteen fills (11 posted to Ao3), 3 WIPs and several Vague Ideas - soliciting plot bunnies or other kick-starters.

* B1 - “I wouldn’t mind wasting my time on you.“ - Possible crossover with BBB - KINK: Seduction Mission? Not on my Bingo Attack plan list, so probably won’t get done.

* I2 - Mistaken Identity - crossover with TSB K5 - Protectiveness - “The Mechanic, The Soldier & The Artist” - mob/assassin AU with a Mr. & Mrs. Smith twist? Not on my Bingo Attack plan list, so probably won’t get done.

* I3 - “Oh dear.” - Wrote up a remix ficlet of Leading Questions - Tony POV on the stressful interview and the immediate aftermath. It came it at 255 words and is scheduled for 12/21.

* I4 - Canon: Avengers Academy - will probably do Stuffed Marvels sketches of Tony and Winter, as I know very little about the game/canon. It’s on my Bingo Attack plan list, but at the bottom, so don’t hold your breath.

* N3 - FREE - Filling this with An Act of Kindness, a fluffy meet-cute with Tony & Morgan needing a bit of help from the handsome stranger standing in line at the coffee shop. It’s coming in at 462 words and is scheduled for 12/19.

* N5 - “Wanna make a bet?” Used this in combination with the Day 18 Fictober (“I don’t think this is your problem.”) and Flufftober (Soulmate AU) prompts for Marked-Up Soulmarks - a soulmate AU where Tony discovers he and Steve have something (and someone) in common. I may expand on this before posting it to Ao3 and/or claiming it as an official fill. Currently coming in at 418 words.

* G4 - Pepper Potts - continue Open Up Your Heart (And Let the Truth Come Out) - Tony POV? This is on my Bingo Attack plan list, but at the bottom, so don’t hold your breath.

* O1 - Royalty - crossover with TSB - IronWidow & BBB AU: Arranged Marriage - pick Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion back up - the current chapter is sitting at 595 words and would need to be 800 min to fill all 3 squares. It may not make this bingo’s deadline, but possibly BBB?

* O5 - AU: Biker - Grease 2 fusion anyone? 😁 I watched the movie a month or so ago and took notes - It’s not gonna be a faithful adaptation, but hopefully fun - had another mini-brainstorm on this that led to last Friday’s No Ordinary Boy ficlet, but that didn’t go far enough into the story to count toward this square. Will post this ficlet on 12/26 with the faint hope of getting more done before the deadline, but it’s not on my Bingo Attack plan list, so don’t hold your breath.!

Hero Hardships Bingo [HHB] (Runs thru 31 Dec)

Not really expecting to get anything more done on this card, unfortunately. 😔

* O3 - Dating a civilian - this would fit perfectly with another chapter of Takin’ What They’re Givin’ (‘Cause I’m Workin’ for a Livin’) , for which I currently have a basic plot point or two rolling around in my head. I do have about 1000 words on what would be the next chapter of TWTG, so… maybe I’ll whip it into shape and toss it out there? :: shrug::

Bucky Barnes Bingo - Round 4 [BBB_R4] (Runs thru 7 Jan 2023)

Fourteen fills, four WIPs & ideas for everything except one square - Working on a Column B bingo to start.

* B3 - Sam Wilson|Falcon - started a continuation of After One Or Two False Starts this morning - switching to Bucky POV - currently sitting at 241 words. Will probably keep it on the short side since am pressed for time - targeting 1/6 to post it.

* U2 - AU: Roommate - Still wanting to use the Meet Ugly prompt: 02. I bought a house three months ago but I’m finally moving in and discover you’ve been squatting because you’re homeless – probably WinterHawk with recovering!Bucky being the squatter in Clint’s apartment building. However, this is not on my Bingo Attack plan list, so don’t hold your breath.

* U4 - AU: Arranged Marriage - will probably pick Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion back up for this one. See SBB Royalty for details.

* U5 - Kill List - see MWAP - G4 - Canon Divergence. Post CA:TWS above

* C2 - “Oh, hell no” -see MWAP I1 - Steve is here for TFaWS

*C3 - Free - this is still up for grabs - I will probably combine with one of the following SBB squares: I4 - Canon: Avengers Academy, G4 - Pepper Potts or O5 - AU: Biker

* C4 - KINK: Aftercare - see MWAP O2 - Sex Pollen

*C5 - “This might as well happen” - Used this for the Sept BBB Round Robin (crackfic - Emperor’s New Groove inspired) wrote 276 words toward it. Need to get a mod ruling on whether I get to count it or not sometime soon so I have time to try to re-fill it if needed.

* K1 - Thighs - I have a couple ideas for this… Sam +Steve+Bucky shenanigans (platonic or romantic - not sure) Possibly crossover with MWAPB Online Shopping if I can get it done/meet the word minimum (650 for both)

* K3 - KINK: Edging - working on Hanging By A Moment - (Bucky POV with toy play and Tony as a power bottom) crossing over with TSB K3 - KINK: Orgasm Denial/Edging - - currently 390 words (550 minimum needed) It’s all plotted out in my head - I just need to find the time & motivation to finish.

* Y2 - Never the fall that kills you - this might be the title for a reverse hanahaki WinterIron prompt from @lacrimula-falsa …. but is not on my Bingo Attack plan list, so don’t hold your breath.

* Y4 - KINK: Seduction Mission - crossover with SBB - B1 - “I wouldn’t mind wasting my time on you.” Not on my Bingo Attack plan list, so probably won’t get done.

Steve Rogers Bingo - Round 2 (SRB_R2) - Ends 31 Jan

* A1 - Never Have I Ever - see MWAPB FREE above.

* A4 - Touch Attention/Denial - I have an idea for this that will also fill (heh) my Stucky Bingo KINK - Double Penetration square.

* B2 - Mile High Club - This will be the second chapter of Never Have I Ever (But I Want To With You), picking up with Tony’s POV after the events of Chapter One. Rolling some things around in my head, but other projects are taking priority. Possibly combine with TSB Tony’s Poor Life Choices ?

* C4 - Groot - crossover with MWAPB Sex Pollen - see above.

* E2 - Comics Nomad Steve - SWC sketch of Nomad!Steve

* E4 - Mental Bondage - crossover with TSB KINK: Concubine - Potential Title My Voice The Chain that Binds You

Tony Stark Bingo - Round 6 (TSB_R6) [Ends 28 Feb]

Fifteen fills and three WIPs at the moment - with Vague Ideas for almost every other square.

* T1 - One Night Stand - see AvB - B4 - Age Gap

* T2 - Doing Groceries - crossover with MWAP B3 - Farmer’s Market - if I can bang out a drabble/moodboard in time, otherwise will find something else to do with this.

* T3 - Pepper Potts/Rescue - some sort of remix of/inspired by sabrecmc’s Indecent Proposal from Pepper’s POV. At this point, I think I need to re-read the fic & take notes …

* T4 - KINK: Concubine - see SRB E4 - Mental Bondage?

*A5 - Scott Lang - 27dragons shared an interesting plot bunny during the Sept TSB Discord party that I may end up using; that or a follow up to A Piece of the Action

* R1 - Tony’s Poor Life Choices - see SRB Mile High Club above.

* R2 - IronWidow - next chapter of Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion ? see SBB Royalty above

* R4 - Occupational Hazard - posted I Make Toys (But I’ve Got Aspirations) this morning - it’s a ficlet where Tony & Steve are Santa’s elves who hatch a plan to help kids who need something more than toys for Christmas and came in at 351 words.

* K2 - Secret Admirer - carried this over from last round so I could try my hand a remix of Seeds of Love (WinterIron hanahaki fic by the super-talented @hddnone). Potential title: Wraps Around My Heart, Refusing to Unwind

* K3 - KINK: Orgasm Denial/Edging - see BBB KINK: Edging

Stucky Bingo Round Four [SB_R4] (Ends 31 May 2023

Seven fills and one WIPs with a couple of other vague ideas.

* B1 - Mutual Pining - possible crossover with MWAPB - Friends to Lovers

* B4 - Artist/Muse - posted A Work of Heart to Tumblr on 10/29. It came in at at 650 words and filled Day 29 of Fictober (”You love this, don’t you?”) , Flufftober (Leaves) and Whumptober (”Better me than you.”) Coming to Ao3 on 12/28

* B5 - KINK: Double Penetration - see SRB Touch Attention/Denial above.

* O4 - AU: Supernatural - got inspired by a dream to start a Stucky fantasy AU (magician!Steve/ensorcelled!Bucky) that @bill-longbow is collaborating on with me. This was supposed to fill my Man with a Plan Bingo Soulmates square, but I ran out of time on that bingo. We’re currently sitting at 1640 words (984-ish of which are mine). Will probably continue on this sometime in January. Current Last Line: "My men will accompany you back to Brookline in the morning.”

I also adopted the Writing Format: Remix one of your fics square – am thinking of taking one of my Stony or WinterIron No Powers fics and adapting it to a Stucky pairing – if you have any requests - hit me up!

WinterIron - No Powers AU – Stony No Powers AU

On other creative fronts: I have a Sventoonie figure in progress - still working on the figures for my three Marvel Trumps Hate auction winners (3 of 7 done so far) – thanks so much for your generous support!! Finally, I am prepping for a superhero con in March - so am pretty well booked up through at least the end of the year.

That said, if you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for birthdays or other celebrations in 2023, check out Stuffed With Character over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 80!). They’re mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design requests for any fandom!
