Friday Fics Fix - Some Lovely Steve and Bucky Goodness


'And here Bucky was, living his whole life slightly out of step and just now realising it, because no one had ever told him so.

Slightly out of step.

Different.'

 

Title: F3. Background: kaleidoscopic patterns


Sometimes, you find fics which were written just for you, ya know?

My dearest nerdlets, a fic with Bucky Barnes (from the MCU/Marvel movies etc.) as a sad Queer boi with synaesthesia and migraines? This thing was written for me - no question.

Micropoetry From A Whole Bunch Of Months


...Specifically: October 2023 + December 2023 + April 2024 + August 2024


Yes, I know this is a weird combination of months.

Honestly? I kept forgetting to make the graphics, and it just ended up this way 😅

Those with screen readers - the poetry is in the alt-text of the graphics, with forward slash marks for line breaks

Trying to get it all back, put it back together
As if the time had never passed’

Month(s) In Review(s) - June + July 2024

 

Warning: discussions of Depression and pet loss


Title: June + July. Mehefin + Gorffennaf. Background: large sunflower


...OK, doing this as a two-monthly thing is becoming an unintentional habit 😅

The only excuse that I have is that sometimes Depression messes my memory up - and the fact that I entirely (and I mean, entirely,) forgot to write a post for June coincides with some pretty sh**ty mental health days over the past two months.

So, yeah. I'm blaming Depression. And I don't feel bad about that, because it blames me for stuff all the time 😅
