Are You Frustrated You Can't Leave Second Kudos On AO3? Or Third Kudos? Or Whatever-who's-counting Kudos?

First & Last Lines

Rules: post the first and last lines of the last 10 fics you posted.

Thank you for tagging me @auofgoldandfantasies !

I'm skipping Podfics for this. Also a fair warning, I did a dump of Oneshots I found, so there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to what I've posted recently and there is some smut in between. Also I am realising there are some other warnings that I added next to the title.

I - Not how this was supposed to work (WIP)

First: Foggy Nelson had never been a scaredy-cat. In general, he wasn’t afraid of a lot of things. He wasn’t scared of going to the doctor or the dentist, and he wasn’t afraid of the dark, spiders, heights, or the boogie man either.

Last: “I think it just might,” Karen answered, smiling softly. “They might not become friends, but they might make okay roommates.”

II - Ten out of Ten (MCD Warning)

First: Matt got the call from the hospital while he was in class.

Last: It was only when Foggy rested a soft, almost brotherly hand on his friend’s shoulder that he realised Matt wasn’t frozen, he was crying.

III - When the World is too much, you are my Bubble

Note: This one is a collection of ficlets for two OCs I came up with, so the first and the last line do not belong to the same story.

First: “Is it beautiful?” Jamie asked, closing her eyes as she leaned against G’s side and enjoyed the warmth of the sun on this day in early spring.

Last: “That’s cute,” Jamie hummed, then started laughing. “Buck and my Dad met when my dad was being an idiot and Buck stopped him from running in front of a car or something.” She laughed again. “Honestly, every time you ask them they give you a different story.”

IV - Of Soup, Flowers and Tattoos (WIP)

First: “Every flower has a meaning, you know?” Foggy was leaning on the counter of ‘Sweet and Spicy’, when the restaurant had a quiet moment. He was watching the guy working in the small flower shop across the street from their soup café. “Every type of flower, every colour, and even the way they are arranged can tell whole stories.”

Last: “Yes, Clint.” Matt chuckled softly. “Bucky and you own a Tattoo Studio. I would be surprised if you didn’t have Tattoos and piercings.” He traced Clint’s neck again, smiling as the other man leaned in again. “I just don’t know which ones and what they look like, so I was a little surprised when I suddenly had two pieces of metal in my mouth.” He licked his own lips, then traced his thumb over Clint’s again, pulling softly at one of the black metal rings. “I don’t mind. Actually, I quite like it.” He smirked, signing slowly with one hand still cupping Clint’s jaw. “It’s wild and interesting, just like you.”

V - Just let yourself have this (Smut Warning)

First: “Hello, handsome.” A low, rich voice, laced with an English accent approached Clint.

Last: Charles simply brushed a soft kiss into Clint’s hair, smiling softly and breathing in his scent. “Sleep tight, sweetheart.”

VI - Stop telling me you're sorry and just let me fuck you silly (unsurprisingly: Smut Warning)

First: “Tell me what you want, pretty boy.” James purred right into Clint’s ear. He was leaning on his elbow, the fingers of his other hand softly tracing Clint’s chest.

Last: “I mean...” Clint chuckled, smirking up at his partner as well, “I wouldn’t say no, if you’re offering...”

VII - Clint's Love-Hate Relationship with Food (Eating Disorder Warning)

First: "Are you really gonna eat all of those?" Tony asked with surprise and almost something like disgust in his voice.

Last: “Yeah,” Matt scoffed. “I’m definitely not gonna leave you alone with this gaggle of idiots while your brain is being stupid,” he gestured around them, vaguely indicating the other Avengers, but mostly meaning Tony. “You’re my baby hawk, you’re gonna get all the cuddles you want tonight.”

VIII - Blanket Nest

First: “Clint-Buddy, are you okay?” Foggy asked as he came back from the kitchen with a fresh mug of coffee.

Last: “You’re perfect, Clint,” Matt signed at some point, simply making Clint smile this time. “Never change who you are for anyone but yourself.”

IX - Arrow, Snowflake, Star

First: “It’s not pretty,” Bucky muttered, wrapping their arms protectively around their chest, the right one covering the weaker left. “It’s everything but pretty...”

Last: “It’s more than I need to know that you’re my little treasure,” Clint said, just like I had done earlier. “We’re always gonna take care of you, no matter what happens.”

X - Why are archers so annoying?

First: “You wanna give it a shot?” Clint asked, gesturing with his bow before going to pick up his arrows from the targets on the other end of the lane.

Last: “Both.” I decided. “Both is good.” “Then both it is.” Clint smiled nodding for me to follow him. “Come on, little Hawk, let’s get you your treats.”

WIP Warriors Round 5

After a little bit of delay it's time for the next Round.

Let's try something new again: each vote will be worth 200 words.

So, pick whatever you want to read more of first, or just pick something random to make a writer write on their WIPs.

not on mobile sorry but purple heart winterhawk? surprise kiss / impulsive kiss?

It took me a few days to find time to write this, but here it is: 💜 : surprise kiss / impulsive kiss for winterhawk

Clint was panting heavily, dodging a hit, and going over to the next attack in one fluid movement. It was good to train, even in the summer heat. The burning in his muscles was good compared to lying crammed into vents on endless stakeouts, like he had spent most of the last two weeks. He didn't know how long they had been going; he had noticed that the others had left at some point. But just like him, Bucky seemed like he had no intention to stop any time soon. At some point between the shooting range and the climbing part, the soldier had lost his shirt, his strong body shining with sweat, but his smile proved that he enjoyed it just as much. Clint had taken longer, but once they had started sparring, the insecurity about his scars could no longer win over the heat. They had sparred before; usually Bucky managed to bring Clint to the ground, the sheer power of his enhanced body and the metal arm winning, even over Clint's flexibility and almost a lifetime of training. But today, they were almost even. Clint's motivation and focus were on point, and for once, he didn't have any injuries he had to be mindful of. So, after a long match, he finally managed to surprise Bucky, throwing him into the mat and leaning over him triumphantly. Bucky was lying on his back, catching his breath and smirking. Clint couldn't resist; he had to kiss him for that. He had been pining over this man for way too long to not give in when the opportunity was right there. For a second, nothing happened. Clint's lips were touching Bucky's, but the soldier wasn't reacting. Then Bucky turned them over in one fluid movement, gaining control as Clint lowered his guard. Now he was looking down at the archer, and Clint was ready to wriggle out from under him and run. But instead of anger or rage, there was a sparkle of desire in Bucky's eyes, and he smirked again. "You could have just said something, doll." He breathed before crashing their mouths together in a long and heated kiss.

In order to be a writer, you must W.R.I.T.E!

W: Whine with every word you write

R: Reread your past writing before reevaluating your life

I: Intensely daydream

T: Try not to get distracted by Tumblr

E: Edit paragraphs obsessively

18: Oral sex

TW: Blackout drunk

Clint wakes up to the smell of coffee. He blinks his eyes open in a dimly lit room. The ceiling looks different. At a second glance, everything looks different. And for some reason, he is lying with his head on the wrong end of the bed.

“Morning sleepyhead.” Bucky signs. At least Clint thinks so. He’s upside down. Or is Clint upside down? That would fit with the bed thing. 

Trying to figure that out hurts Clint’s brain, so he focuses instead on what is on the tray Bucky set on the bed next to him. Another wave of pain shooting through his head as he sits up makes the decision of whether or not Clint should take the ibuprofen easy, and the decision to down the coffee in a few quick swigs is easy too, even if it’s still steaming hot and burns his throat.

The more difficult decision comes with the hearing aids, but after a moment of weighing the pros and cons, he puts them in anyway. He’s too lazy to sign, even if sound makes the headache worse. That’s what the pain medications are for, right?

“You are only allowed iced coffee from now on.” Bucky decides. He sounds worried and shocked. Clint just shrugs as he looks around the room. His clothes are littered all over the floor, clashing uncomfortably with the otherwise very clean and empty room.

Wait.

If all his clothes are lying on the floor… He checks, just to be completely sure. And yes, he’s naked. In Bucky’s bed. “Did we…?" He stammers.

“Yes.”

“And I…”

"Yes. You practically begged to.”

Groaning Clint drops back on the mattress. “I’m so sorry.”

“Oh no,” Bucky says, leaning over him again. “You don’t get to apologise for the possibly best blowjob I have ever had.”

“Possibly?” Clint sits up too quickly, but his hurt ego was is important than his hurting head.

“Yeah. I wouldn’t be surprised if your sober blowjobs are even better. You could barely see straight yesterday.”

“Wanna try?” Clint smirks, not expecting Bucly to actually take the offer.

But apparently he is wrong with that, as Bucky drops his sweats even before Clint has finished speaking.

But at the sight of his gorgeous super-soldier dick, he understands why the drunk version of him was so insistent.

To Touch the Star(s)

Fills: Crossover of two fandoms with the same actor - @julybreakbingo Flash Card

Recently, I finally watched Stardust for the first time and (unsurprisingly) crushed on Tristan the whole time.

And anyone who knows my works knows, that I'm obsessed with Matt Murdock.

So, who better to use for this Prompt.

Sadly life and Uni have come between me and this fic, but I still wanted to use it for JBB. And since we talked about Mood boards the other day, I used the opportunity to try it. (I love it, there will me more in the very near future)

So, take this as a little teaser for a story I will be working on as soon as I have a little more time.

I guess that's just what we get for making up pairs so rare no one else thinks about them 😂💜❤️💚

I read Gardening… by 42donotpanic and haven't been able to get these three out of my mind since.

Do not ask me where Clint's other hand is. I do not know.

This arrangement has been described to me as "people macrame".
