" yes, these last few years have been a living hell, but... i'd live them a thousand times over if it meant you being safe and happy. "

" i don't care about everyone else! i care about you, [NAME]!"

doesn’t really apply to just this blog, but do y’all ever hesitate when it comes to shipping? most of the time i really do want to ship, but i always take care to leave things up... a little loose and open for interpretation and not downright shippy, because i'm always a little hesitant about it / wary i might be the only one feeling some type of way, you know? and i know people generally say they’re open to shipping, but also........ *squints* i don’t do well with just implied things, i need it to be explicitly outlined because i’m an anxious little gremlin.

#* ooc. / sharon carter enthusiast #these are just THOUGHTS #gosh i rly like shipping no cap no lie no shame sorry #not really any *more* than other types of dynamic bc i love those too #it's just smth i enjoy #but i don't want to come on too strong #and if ur writing w me anyhow u know that i don't broach the topic to ppl #i just wait for it to happen organically #but sometimes even if like... the thread is OBVIOUSLY going that way i'm still thinking #HELLO??? is this okay???? is this okay to do??? #you know what i mean #me to me: don't over think this #dark me: but what if i do

STEVE ROGERS​:

That smile always did things to him. When he’d first woke in this time he didn’t know if he’d ever find his place nor find someone that he might be able to relate to. Peggy had always been on his mind, but finding out she was not herself, finding out she’d had her own life, he couldn’t be anything but happy for her. And then of course he’d met the neighbour, the woman he’d thought was a nurse with a smile that made his stomach flip flop. The same smile that he was seeing on Sharon’s face in that moment. Steve hadn’t wanted to leave her in the dark, to leave her hanging after all that she’d done for him, Sam and Bucky. She had risked everything for the three of them and he’d left her behind. Not the sort of soldier he’d wanted to be nor was it the sort of friend he needed to be. In all honesty, he would’ve given up everything to make sure she was safe. But he’d been focused on so many other things that something as important as Sharon had slipped through the cracks. And he hated himself for it. If he could make up for it, if he could show her how damn sorry he was maybe they might be able to salvage something.

“The right thing, huh?” A smirk pulled at his lips as he looked at her. Doing the right thing was something he did all the time and never did he expect to hear that from Sharon. If anything, it amused him that he’d somehow left a lasting impression on her. It had him wondering just how many others had been left with that sort of impression. Maybe it didn’t matter. He was the sort of person that left an impression no matter what and he didn’t need to know who had taken it and run with it. “I’m not surprised that you found a way of getting out of it. You always did know how to get out of trouble no matter what,” Steve told her, offering another smile. He knew that his own guilt was bubbling to the surface and she probably heard it in his words, but what else was he supposed to feel? She’d risked everything for him and in return he’d left her behind. They hadn’t done it during the war and he wasn’t about to start doing it in this time. If only he’d had a moment or three to remind someone to look in on Sharon, to help her give her the backup she needed. All of this was on him and he wouldn’t blame her one bit if she hated him. Hell, he would hate himself for doing something he never should’ve done in the first place.

In all honesty, she was right. There were a lot of things he could’ve done. Except he hadn’t and he would forever blame himself for leaving her out in the cold. But they needed to stop looking at the past and looking towards the future. They had a lot of work to do and if they did it together they might get more accomplished than if they were both working separately. Unfortunately, they still had a lot to deal with but once that was done? He was certain they could accomplish a lot. And maybe they could bring some of the others in. Steve didn’t need another team, but together a team could get so much more done. “I know it’s not okay. I think we would have a lot of other issues if we both thought what happened was okay,” he explained, knowing that what had happened would never be okay. “But you’re right. We’ll figure this out and I will definitely make it up to you, Sharon. I promise.” At least she had agreed to him coming with her. He hadn’t thought about going back to what he once did. But the world needed someone and while he knew Sam was more than capable, he would be able to do things his friends wouldn’t. “So we’re going from stealing cars to hijacking helicopters.” The laughter that bubbled to the surface caught him off guard and he was certain it caught Sharon off guard, too. “I’m sure that’s not the first time I’ve heard that. But I’m hoping it’s what little charm I have left that you still like.”

SHE WANTS, SO BADLY, TO WIPE THE SMIRK off his mouth with a searing kiss, but Sharon holds off for a little while longer. He has things to atone for, after all. “Uh-huh,” she nods, smiling wider now. “You’re rubbing off on me. How does that make you feel, Captain?” Whether she likes to admit it or not, her actions are more than capable of speaking for themselves. The things she did, she did because Sharon believed in him, that against all orders, all protocol, she had to help him because he was in the right. Espionage operates in a murkier gray area than heroism does, and she normally won’t even try to categorize her actions into right or wrong -- just whatever needs to be done at any given moment. But every rule has its exception as it seems, and hers, apparently, is Steve.

“It wasn’t easy peasy, but it was good practice,” Sharon tells him, expression turning a little pensive. Two years on the run undoubtedly leaves an indelible mark on a person, and she knows she’s not the same woman anymore who once worked for SHIELD or the CIA, that she’s changed in ways that are more profound than she can tell him. But if they’re going on the run together, Sharon knows she won’t have to. For better or for worse, he’ll come to figure it out for himself. “Promise me one thing more.” She takes hold of both his arms, and encircles them around her waist. “Since we’re doing this whole... forgiveness thing. Steve -- I forgive you. Can you forgive yourself, too?”

If there’s anything that she’s learned about him over the course of them knowing each other, it’s that he’s much harder on himself than he is on any other person on the planet. Sharon doesn’t want the dark cloud of the past to be hovering over them when they try to begin whatever new life they can find. She needs him to see past his mistake and into their present and their future. “Transport theft is just one of my many specialties, you know,” she tells him with a glimmer in her eyes. “That said, a helicarrier might be a little too ambitious. I think we might have to settle for a roomy Quinjet.” 

The laugh that bursts out of him makes Sharon grin, and the urge to kiss him is stronger than ever. She scrunches her nose at Steve, unable to keep the giddy smile off her face. “You’re on thin ice, Rogers,” she says, digging a finger onto his chest. Her heart is thumping wildly inside her ribcage however, and if he can feel it between them in their proximity, then he’ll know he’s not on any thin surface whatsoever. “It’s really all the muscles that I still like,” Sharon teases, her hands taking hold of his biceps. “-- feels very sturdy.”

KOLE GAO​:

@statesenemy asked: ❛ Love is never simple. Not that I’m any expert. ❜ for Kole!

“no? someone in your position ain’t got countless people fallin’ at their feet for your attention?” glances sideward at the blonde. she seemed the same as ever, cool and calculating and dead-set on whatever mission she’d set herself. kole didn’t know what it was and he wasn’t going to ask. he was the muscle, not the evil henchman who asked questions beyond when? and where? 

“love would hardly be simple in this kind of life.” thoughts fall to adrian and his younger self, how full his heart had been before all of this. rolls his shoulders. “doubt it ever will be.”

SHARON SCOFFS OUT A HALF-HEARTED LAUGH. “People falling at my feet in this line of work is hardly ever love.” Sometimes they just keel over dead like that, but most times they want a favor -- or three. She swirls the amber liquid in her glass a few times before taking a small sip. “Love can get you killed in a place like this, either way. So I suppose it’s best not to have it.” Madripoor. Lawless and cruel as a land can ever be. Everything here can be commodified or used as blackmail paraphernalia -- including love.

Sharon finds herself agreeing with him and recalling some of her own memories. She tries not to think of her life before -- of what she almost led herself to believe. But some days it creeps up on her like a particularly stubborn pest, and she’s angry all over again. “Cheers to that,” she says, raising her glass at Kole. “Love’s overrated anyway. Sometimes a girl’s gotta settle for power and security. Money doesn’t hurt, either.”

@toscrve​ sent:  “i’ll be okay. i promise.”

           “DON’T THINK I WON’T HOLD YOU TO THAT,” Sharon says, trying to look domineering, but succeeding just slightly. She’s worried. She doubts she’s able to hide it, and though she knows substantial danger is always part of the job, it’s not always effortless to grapple with. Nevertheless, she’s well aware that Steve is more than capable of handling himself, and the thought helps in hardening her resolve. “Go out there and kick ass, and then come back here. Once I’ve cracked this encryption, I’m taking you to this burger place I’ve been wanting to try out.” Sharon shrugs, smiling lightly. “Can’t expect a girl to go alone.”

     Normalize deleting asks role players no longer feel. 

     Normalize authors needing to clear their space.

     Normalize a role player’s fluctuating interest in topics. 

     If you send me an ask, and I don’t respond to it/delete it, please don’t take it personal. Sometimes I reblog ask memes, feeling them right in that very moment, and I lose track of time and lose interest. It’s not me saying that I’m losing interest in you, but the topic I wanted in that exact moment. Some asks I might hoard for months, others might get deleted. And this needs to be normalized.
