8. After working for six hours straight + 6. “Do I love you? Yes. Do I like you? That’s still up for debate.” for Steggy please :)
8. After working for six(teen) hours straight + 6. “Do I love you? Yes. Do I like you? That’s still up for debate.” 
(Justine please let's forget that this has been in my drafts for almost two years...have a follow up to this ficlet where I slightly changed the prompt)
“If you’re not my Chinese takeaway, you can bugger right off.”
Steve huffed out a laugh, dropping the carrier bags on the desk with a flourish. “Good news - I intercepted the delivery guy in the lobby, so I am in fact your takeaway and also your ‘staying-in.’”
“You’re not as funny as you think you are, Rogers, but I’ll let it slide because you have my egg rolls in your very capable hands.”
“Thank you…I think.” Steve dropped the cartons filled with Peggy’s favourites in front of her and backed away slowly, as if she were a bomb that needed disarming. A fair comparison, as that was what they had spent their afternoon doing.
“You know, you have awful luck on the job—” Steve scoffed over Peggy’s assertion, an old argument between them, “but you have the best radar for good Chinese food that I’ve ever encountered. How on earth do you find these places, even in the depths of wherever we are today?”
Steve swiped a bite of fried rice, narrowly dodging a hangry Peggy’s lightning-quick chopstick assault. “We’re in Argentina, and what I have can’t be taught, Peg.” 
Her glare over the carton was undermined by the smirk tilting at the corner of her lips. “So you say. I can’t imagine you were taught any manners either.”
He falls back in his chair, clutching his chest dramatically. “Direct hit, Peg, ouch. And after I disarmed a bomb for you and brought you Szechuan beef.”
“While I disarmed three others,” she huffed, tossing a piece of the aforementioned beef in her mouth. 
“Oh, I’m sorry - next time I won’t hack into the network to get those files we were there for in the first place.”
Peggy tossed a soy sauce packet at Steve’s face, snickering to herself as he catches it on his nose like a seal. “You’re incorrigible.”
“Only ‘cause you incorrige me.” Sixteen hours on the job for the fourth day in the row and he still hadn’t run out of quips.
“Steve.”
“You know you love me. Imagine how boring your missions would be if you were still working solo.”
“Do I love you? Yes. Do I like you? That’s still up for debate.” She pointed her chopsticks at him menacingly. “You’re on thin ice.” But rather than banter back, as he always did, as she could count on him to do, he just stared, his cheekbones staining a darker and darker pink by the second.
The silence was starting to become awkward now, and Peggy wracked her brain to try and figure out what she’d said that had set Steve so off-kilter. But before she could complete the thought, she was falling backward onto the couch, her carton of hard-earned spicy beef flying away without a care as Steve’s arms bracketed her head and his hips pinned hers to the cushions. 
His thumb swept over her brow tenderly as he stared down at her, his own furrowed in thought. “Did you mean it?”
Peggy gaped at him. “Mean what?” And then it hit her. “Oh—well, yes of course I did. I don’t just go around saying things I don’t mean, now do I?”
Their intimate position did nothing to stop Steve’s ironic smirk. “Peggy, you’re a spy. Of course you do.”
She jutted her chin out in defiance. “Haven’t you been listening, Steve? I’ve been telling you the truth for years. Why do you think we always have such bad luck—”
Steve cut her off, but Peggy had no inclination to complain. After all, things with Steve were finally according to plan.

Thank you for asking! ❤️ 1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)
This was hard for me since I think each one of my fics is pretty different style-wise and my writing has changed a fair amount since I started. Not to mention some of my personal favourites are more on the "niche interest side" so not great for everyone to get to know me 😂 In terms of themes and details that show up a lot in my work (and a reasonable starting length) I'll have to go with one of my older ones: As Long As You'll Have Me
33. If you write chaptered fics, what’s your ideal chapter length to write? Is it different from your ideal chapter length to read?
The ideal and what ends up happening are two vastly different things. 😂 Ideally, somewhere between 3-6K chapters are where I like to live, but a lot of times things (me and my ideas) get out of hand.
As for ideal chapter length to read, I am game for any length (though preferably tapping out at about 10K so I can guarantee I can read at least one chapter in one sitting).
42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?
I definitely have! It was someone who in their comment pulled out a specific quote in a chapter I had written and posted, and the quote they happened to pull out and their accompanying comment to it was (without them knowing) the essence of why I had made the choices I did in regards to casting the main roles a specific way.
(if you're curious, it's about Flowers, and how Peggy's complicated relationship with her mother was the reason why I ended up choosing Steve as Hades and Peggy as Persephone, when I had originally thought of doing a gender-bend of it).

Tis the Damn Season
A ridiculously belated Secret Santa gift for @beautifulwhensarcastic posted for @steggyfanevents Steggy Week Day Four: Friends and Family.
Tumblr media
Peggy is lonely at Christmas and decides to seek Steve out for just one night.
Set during catfa, Christmas 1943.
Peggy should have known better. Steve may be the nicest, kindest man she’s met, but he’s still a man. She’d thought for a moment that he shared an ounce of what she felt for him, but it’s clear she was wrong.
That image of him and Private Lorraine is scorched into her retinas, and oh, how it burns.
This isn’t the first time she's sat in her flat and thought of Steve, not by a long shot. But those thoughts used to make her burn in other, better ways. She is not a woman to sit around moping over a man, and yet, here she is.
For a moment she longs to go back to wanting him, to paint over the image of him and Lorraine with other images, ones where she makes him come undone and claims him as hers. It’s not going back to wanting, though, the wanting has never ceased, much to her chagrin. Even after everything, she still wants him desperately. She is a woman with eyes after all, and he is an unfairly attractive man. It’s only natural for her to still be curious and want to experience it for herself.
There may be no romance between them, but does that mean she has to deny herself the pleasure of his body?

dark steggy recs
here are some fics i found although you didn't specify what kind of dark fics you were looking for so i hope these are okay:
All Day, Every Day (ao3) - roboticonography M, 21k
Summary: Steve is on his mission to return the Infinity Stones when his quantum suit glitches, and he finds himself sliding sideways through alternate realities, encountering different versions of himself. None of whom are particularly happy to see him.
Can he do this all day? Time will tell!
Dark Appetites (ao3) - beautifulwhensarcastic E, 11k
Summary: Peggy avoided asking anyone for help, but this time there’s no other choice. However, entering vampire’s stronghold forces her to face darkness and feelings she’s perhaps not equipped to deal with.
Dark Ways (ao3) - indiefic E, 10k
Summary: Erskine was wrong. The serum twisted Steve as much as it twisted Schmidt.
Modern day setting. There will be 3 sections, which will jump around a little in time.
Respire (ao3) - MelliaBee T, 17k
Summary: The year is 1944, and Hydra is targeting Captain America with a weapon designed specifically to kill him. As Steve Rogers fights for his life, Peggy, Bucky, and Howard race the clock to find a solution. Darker than some of my other work, this features semi-graphic blood and injuries.
Rest for the Wicked (ao3) - sagesiren E, 62k (WIP)
Summary: She could see why he'd been described as 'charming' by the last agent who tried to get close to him. It had been written in the report the Agency had received days before that agent was found washed up on the banks of the East River.
(Steve is a mobster in Brooklyn, Peggy is undercover to infiltrate his organization, and they both are in over their heads)
- Tori

seven sentence sunday
I was tagged last week by my best meme buddy @theawkwardterrier, and am just sliding in under the wire today.
I’ve been slowly noodling on and off on a few different WIPs over the last few weeks, so here are seven sentences from the Edwina/Friedrich fic that I’ve still not got around to posting but may eventually see the light of day around season eight of Bridgerton:
“I thought you liked him?”
“I do like him,” Edwina says, then pauses, a faint frown furrowing her brow. “Or at least, I think I do.”
Eloise raises an eyebrow. “You think you do?”
For a moment Edwina is silent, just long enough for Eloise to begin to think she might not answer at all. But then she turns around, lifting her shoulders in a slight shrug, and Eloise ses a wealth of confusion and sadness shining in her large dark eyes as she replies in a quiet voice, “I thought I liked somebody before.”
I will tag @beautifulwhensarcastic, @thesokovianaccords, @wheremermaidsdwell and @roboticonography to share from their own WIPs if they want to!

You know what I'm going to ask 😅 Battle of the Blades !
(For this WIP game)
Okay, this might not be quite what you're thinking (or maybe it is! 😂)
This story is a gift for @teaandatale, and is an AU where Peggy, the captain of the Canadian national women's ice hockey team (a dual Canadian-British citizen) and Steve, an Olympic gold-medal winning pairs skater (with partner Natasha), are paired up as a figure skating duo on the Canadian competitive reality show Battle of the Blades (which is kind of like Dancing with the Stars on ice, but with the pairs consisting of one world-class figure skater and one professional and/or national team hockey player.)
I posted a preview of the beginning here, and here’s an excerpt from later in the story:
An hour later, what Peggy had was both a fervent wish that her first day in figure skates was not being filmed for posterity, and a deep annoyance with Steve that she knew deep down was entirely due to her hatred of feeling incompetent. She lost focus for a second, somehow forgot she wasn’t in hockey skates, and hit the ice again, wincing as she landed on the already-forming bruise on her left knee. Steve reached down and hauled her up by the elbow. “Toepick,” he reminded her, helpfully. She glared at him. “You’re doing great, Peg! Just remember not to lean forward,” said Rose encouragingly. Peggy had the sudden, entirely uncharitable, urge to punch her. Instead, she took a deep breath, set her shoulders, and set off again. This time she managed to get all the way across the rink and most of the way back before she caught a toepick at full speed. As she flew through the air, calmly preparing to duck and roll when she hit the boards, she collided very unexpectedly with Steve, who’d sped forward and executed a rather hockey-like tight turn in an attempt to intercept her.  He did, it had to be said, break her fall. “I was fine, Rogers,” she said, irritated, as she rolled off him. “You must realize I’ve crashed into the boards plenty of times.” She expected him to point out that she was normally wearing a full set of hockey gear, including, crucially, a helmet - but instead, he simply made a quietly pained noise and curled in on himself. Peggy frowned, leaning down, as he made no move to get up. Rose hurried over looking alarmed, then winced, coming to the realization of what had happened at the same moment Peggy did. “Oh.”  Peggy turned to Rose. “Do - male figure skaters not wear athletic cups? I would have thought - ” Rose shook her head. “Nope.” She shrugged. “If they’re wearing a tight costume, they’ll wear a dance belt to, you know,” she gestured, “keep everything in place. But those don’t offer any protection from impact. That’s not usually - necessary in figure skating.” Her lips twitched slightly. “Ah,” said Peggy, hoping the redness on her cheeks was at a level that could be explained by exertion in the chilly air of the arena. They were still, after all, on camera - although thankfully, Battle of the Blades was a classier sort of reality show, giving her some hope that they might not choose to air this particular moment. Or, at the very least, might not linger on it. Steve carefully sat up, still rather hunched over but, encouragingly, not in the fetal position anymore. “I’m right here, you know.” He cleared his throat, his own face a little red. “Didn’t think you’d go straight for the five hole on the first day, Carter.” “Yes, I suppose it was a little forward of me,” she told him. They shared a grin, and despite herself Peggy found herself entirely unable to tear her gaze away from his for a long moment.   She was rescued, again, by Phillips, who’d skated over to join them. “Walk it off, Rogers. It won’t kill you,” he ordered briskly, then watched with an elaborately pained expression as Peggy held out a hand to help Steve to his feet. “How the hell did I get roped into this? I almost miss Romanoff.”   “Lost a bet?” suggested Rose helpfully. Phillips gave her a baleful look. “All right, Carter.” He narrowed his eyes at Peggy. “You know how to skate, and you know the toepick is there by now, so for crying out loud, stop tripping over it. And Rogers, for God’s sake, she’s a hockey player, not a crystal vase.” He glowered at them both. “I need to see you both, arm in arm, gliding beautifully around the ice now. We only have four weeks until the first episode, and I’m telling you right now, neither of you wants to make me cry.”

One line, one fic
rules: pick any 10 of your fics, scroll somewhere to the mid point, pick a line, and share it! Then tag 10 people. 
I was tagged by @theawkwardterrier​ @lavellenchanted @beautifulwhensarcastic​ - thank you all so much!!!
I have no idea who’s already been tagged but here’s a few (and if I miss you please feel free to take this as a general tag lol) - @doctorhelena @steggyisimmortal @cafecitowriter @formerlyir @3pirouette @teaandatale 
(press you to) the pages of my heart - (steve/peggy)
With a huff, Peggy merged back into the right lane, preparing to take their exit. “Well, it will be fun, but don’t think I don’t see you backseat driving right now.”
Special Relationship - (steve/peggy)
“Football, Steve!” Peggy yelled, flinging her hands up in the air. “For the love of God, man, it’s a football match. Foot. Ball.” 
stealin’ a kiss or two - (tony/pepper)
He had flown into space and broken the sound barrier and saved the world several times, but none of that compared to holding Pepper Potts, the gold band of her engagement ring cool against his cheek as she pressed her lips to his.
a second time (within these arms) - (steve/peggy)
Steve starts at the old endearment. They are so close that Peggy can feel the tension vibrating through his every muscle, and she curses herself for spending the last few years ensuring his total distrust in her.
Arrivals - (steve/diana)
Themyscira was never far from Diana’s thoughts despite the near century she had spent in the world of men, and she was sure there was no other island that could hope to be its equal.
All’s Fair - (steve/peggy)
“It’s okay,” Steve says, lifting his free hand to cup her jaw. “Really, Peggy. We’re both where we need to be right now. I just missed you.” 
King Me - (steve/peggy)
Peggy smacked his shoulder and sniffed loudly. “I did not try to bludgeon you. My God, Steve, you’re so dramatic.”
Partners - (steve/peggy)
The look he threw her was one she had never seen from him in public, and her knees threatened to give way under the weight of it.
the pain of parting is nothing (to the joy of meeting again) - (steve/peggy)
The man gave a stilted nod, and his voice was strained. “Of course, Director Carter. Let me just call the rest of my team in.” He lifted his left wrist to his mouth—right hand still holding the gun—and said, “Hey, man, I could use some backup. Southeast quadrant, the cell block.”
you can count on me - (steve/peggy)
Something settled in Steve’s chest as they went, the sharp edge of constant uncertainty dulled by Peggy’s presence.

I was tagged by the lovely @captainjimothycarter, @doctorhelena and @beautifulwhensarcastic. Thanks pals!
Also this is more than one line oops
He felt Bucky’s eyes on him for a long time. Steve ignored his gaze, taking a moment to look up at the clear night sky. The moon was bright, its light dancing against the ankle-high snow and making it sparkle.
I’m tagging @laviejaguardia @3pirouette @teaandatale @buckywiththegoodhair86 and anyone else who would like to do this!

Hello! I was wondering if you could help me find some Steggy enemies to lovers fic?
Sorry to be a bother..
You're no bother, my friend! I'm glad to help.
On Ceremony - CapandCarter - Peggy is forced into a marriage she doesn’t want with a man she has no intention of loving.
Morse Code - CapandCarter - When no one will tell Peggy what she wants to know, she goes searching for the answer herself.
Merge - beautifulwhensarcastic - Peggy Carter will not hand in her family's legacy to an American company. And she most definitely will not give in to its CEO, even if Steve Rogers is infuriatingly alluring.
Why yes a self-plug: A Promise Doesn't Mean Forever - CaptainJimothy Carter - Peggy finds herself in need of a date to her brother's wedding and Steve is the last person she wants to call.
Duty Bound - indiefic - Steve Rogers is the Empire's poster boy. The perfect soldier. When the Empire conquers Peggy Carter's world, she and Steve Rogers are forced into a marriage that neither of them wants. Can they fake it long enough for Peggy to avenge those she lost?
Wasted Hearts - indiefic - Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter were married very young. A lifetime of tragedy later, fate brings them together again.
If anyone has any more, please add!

first line tag game
Rules: Post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to ao3. if you have less than 10 fics posted, post the first lines of all your fics 
Tagged by: the wonderful @flyinghome-againstthewind
Tagging: @beautifulwhensarcastic, @doctorhelena, @ckerouac, @teaandatale, @captainjimothycarter, and of course my dear meme-ologist @lavellenchanted, plus anyone else who wants to join in!
1. Muscle Memory (Outlander)
According to everything she’s seen and been told, this is home. She had hoped that something would look familiar.
2. Bake On (Outlander)
Jamie gets his signature - Mam's snow cake - into the oven before he takes a moment to truly size up the competition.
3. (might not be our time yet) that doesn’t mean I ever love you any less (MCU)
They have precisely thirty-six hours leave in London, and Steve knows that he could be spending it somewhere other than this.
4. A Full and Stumbling Heart (Buffyverse)
The first time happens only three days after they've gotten back together.
5. A Surprise Delivery (MCU)
Steve had suspected that the SSR would be sending someone to help…manage the situation. Of course it would end up being Agent Carter, and of course it would end up being just now.
6. things left behind and the things that are ahead: 1971 (MCU)
“They’re doing it again.”
Ricky doesn’t need Nate interpreting in a low voice to catch the meaning of what Emma has said. Her expression - long-suffering, a little annoyed, a sigh somehow obvious on her face - is clear enough. What he doesn’t get, though, is what has prompted the declaration.
7. What Can Be Found Beneath (What If...?)
“I’ve a bone to pick with you.”
She sees Steve jump a bit at the sound of her voice before he turns to her. The confusedly guilty panic that he is trying to cover fills her with a strange sort of laughing affection that she quickly covers herself; the fact that he faces her anyway brings with it a more sober sort. Brushing both aside, she continues.
8. Best Laid Family Plans (MCU)
Peggy’s pregnancies are thankfully not particularly difficult - a spot of early morning sickness, cravings for salt, an increased tendency for rage over seemingly small complications, and quite a bit of frustration when she reaches the point that she needs Steve’s help to put on her shoes.
9. The Real Heroes (MCU)
Cass watches Dad’s hands very carefully, holding out her own finger and closing one eye, trying to make sure he is matching the top of the poster to the straight line of the ceiling.
10. The Limits of Dreaming (MCU)
It’s harder than he’d thought it would be, coming back.
