Watched All 8 Episodes Of Our Flag Means Death Yesterday. I Really Loved It. I'm Such A Sucker For Historical

Well, I guess I was right about having read a bunch of johnlock fic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Though, I only read a couple at the beginning of the week before straying into other fandoms and then coming back and reading a ton more. My finals are coming up and I have been really busy between work and school so I’ve been destressing and relaxing by reading fic late at night when I get off work.

BBC’s SHERLOCK

🔹️ 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙏 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙃𝙊𝙒 [AO3] by 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Waton 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Explicit | 1 Chapter | 13.6K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: John grows up reading about a fictional detective named Sherlock Holmes but, after nearly dying in Afghanistan, finds himself in a world where Sherlock Holmes is very much real.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: This was a unique story where John ends up reading about Sherlock like many of us before being thrown into a fictional world (altinate universe?). Definitely something I haven’t read before.

🔹️ 𝙎𝙃𝘼𝘿𝙊𝙒𝙎 𝙊𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙒𝘼𝙇𝙇 [AO3] by 𝘼𝙧𝙖𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙮𝙧𝙣 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 18.2K Words | Psychic!John

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: John comes back from Afghanistan psychic. Spoilers to The Great Game. 

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: This is where I started to become obsessed with psychic!John. It’s really interesting to read about how how John’s abilities work and how he interprets the world around him. Especially how it alters the canon storyline.

🔹️ 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙔 𝙏𝙀𝙇𝙇 𝙈𝙀 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙄𝙍 𝙎𝙀𝘾𝙍𝙀𝙏𝙎 (𝙒𝙄𝙇𝙇 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙏𝙀𝙇𝙇 𝙈𝙀 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍𝙎 𝙏𝙊𝙊) [AO3] by 𝙚𝙩𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙞 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 2.3K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: In Afghanistan, the supplies tell him when they’re running low, and the cars always, always tell him when strangers have touched them, and John gets known as having a knack (paranoia, his men call it, but he’s never missed a single car bomb) for keeping his men safe.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 9.8K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: One of the first things John did was to write up step-by-step instructions on how to conduct a proper job interview before handling it over to Mycroft for his perusal. There were no kidnapping, deserted car parks or stolen therapy notes anywhere on that list.

(Or the one where John returned from the war and ended up working for Mycroft as his personal assistant slash doctor on retainer. Everything was fine, until he was sent to post bail for one Sherlock Holmes.)

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I’ve never thought about Mycroft employing John before but I adored this! I love how John doesn’t take a bunch of Mycroft’s bill while making Sherlock intrigued.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Wason 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | General | 1 Chapter | 2.4K Words | Demon!John

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: “Every demon on record is described as either monstrously terrifying or breathtakingly beautiful,” Sherlock says. “I have never heard of a demon with a forgettable face and a propensity for ugly jumpers.” 

The demon looks down at his jumper. Okay, so it might not be the most flattering article of clothing in the world, but it sure looks a hell of a lot more comfortable than Sherlock’s two-sizes-too-small shirt.

🔹️ 𝙀𝘾𝙃𝙊𝙀𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙍𝙊𝙐𝙂𝙃 𝙏𝙄𝙈𝙀 [AO3] by 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙘 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Explicit | 1 Chapter | 21.6K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Mummy sends a trunk from the Holmes cottage in Sussex to 221B. Its contents alter the way John and Sherlock see themselves and one another.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: THIS was an amazing fic that I am going to put on my favorites list. The author managed to combine classical johnlock with the BBC version and was simply amazing to read. It was like a fic within a fic.

🔹️ 𝙎𝙋𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙀𝙍 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙀𝙀𝙎 [AO3] by 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙢𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 3 Chapters | 14.6K Words | Deaf!Sherlock

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: It isn’t always easy assisting a deaf detective. Luckily for John, they make a pretty good team.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: Loved this AU and need to read more like it! One of my favorite things was how much John worries about Sherlock because in their line of work it can ocassionally be really dangerous (as we learn). I think I also really enjoyed it because I’ve always been fascinated with sign language and want to learn it eventually.

🔹️ 𝙄 𝙐𝙎𝙀𝘿 𝙏𝙊 𝙇𝙄𝙑𝙀 𝘼𝙇𝙊𝙉𝙀 𝘽𝙀𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙄 𝙆𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙔𝙊𝙐 [AO3] by 𝙚𝙩𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙞 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 11K Words | Demon!Sherlock

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Where Mycrfot is an angel,  Sherlock is a demon, and John is still John.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: This was a fantastic fic that I’m fairly sure was inspired a bit by Good Omens (yet another amazing series). I really love the relationship Sherlock and Mycroft have and learning about how they deal with the world and people around them as an angel/demon.

🔹️ 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝘼 𝙋𝘼𝙍𝘼𝘿𝙄𝙂𝙈 [AO3] by 1𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 1 Chapter | 10K Words | Wizard!John | Harry Potter Crossover

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Sometimes, only sometimes, when Sherlock is very far away and absolutely guaranteed not to return for at least three hours, John sits on the sofa and let's the tea make itself.

In which John is (reluctantly a wizard, Mycroft is (apparently) omniscient, and Sherlock is (surprisingly) oblivious.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I have found that I really love fics with psychic/wizard!John and not only read this fic but the other two stories in the series which are HERE and HERE. It’s a Harry Potter crossover that somehow blend really well together. I love reading about how fascinated Sherlock is with this whole other world. 

🔹️ 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝙐𝙈 𝙊𝙁 𝙐𝙎 (𝙈𝙊𝙎𝙏𝙇𝙔 𝘾𝘼𝙇𝘾𝙐𝙇𝘼𝙏𝙀𝘿 𝘽𝙔 𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙔𝘽𝙊𝘿𝙔 𝙀𝙇𝙎𝙀) [AO3] by 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙚 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 9.2K Words | Heartmark AU

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: John decides to come out. More or less. Not that he’s gay or anything. He’s just bumming his flatmate.

GOOD OMENS:

🔹️ 𝙊𝙉𝙀 𝙏𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙎𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙇𝙊𝙉𝙀𝙇𝙔 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙍𝙎 [AO3] by 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙮𝙟𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Aziraphale x Crowley 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 1 Chapter | 22.7K Words | Amnesia!Aziraphale

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Heaven finally finds the perfect punishment for Aziraphale: to rip every shred of Crowley from his mind. Each meeting, each conversation, each glance they shared--erased. As each memory is lost to him, Aziraphale loses a part of himself, loses moments that formed his very nature. At the beginning, it was Crowley who showed him there is more to creation than good and bad. That it’s more complicated than black and white. With that forgotten, Aziraphale becomes exactly what Heaven wanted him to be in the first place: unattached, blind with loyalty, unquestioning. The perfect soldier. And, as if the last 6000 years had never happened, Crowley becomes the enemy.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: This was heartbreaking. They finally think everything is alright and in their own kind of world before Heaven interfere and messes everything up. The worst part is learning about what happened before Crowley fell.

🔹️ 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 (𝙎𝙀𝘾𝙊𝙉𝘿) 𝘽𝙀𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂 [AO3] by 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Aziraphale x Crowley 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 1 Chapter | 2.6K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: As their lunch stretches on Aziraphale slowly comes to realize that Crowley is---enjoying him. Enjoying Aziraphale’s cnversation, and company, far more openly than he has in most of Aziraphale’s memory. And Aziraphale know that he himself is just chattering on, letting conversation tangents carry him along, and---it’s definitely relief, for him, knowing for the first time in a long time that they aren’t being watched, that no one is keeping score for now.

Airaphale realizes that Crowley’s been saying something rather loudly for a week.

🔹️ 𝙎𝙐𝘾𝙃 𝙎𝙐𝙍𝙋𝘼𝙎𝙎𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 [AO3] by 𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙛𝙪𝙡_𝙤𝙛_𝙎𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Aziraphale x Crowley 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | General | 1 Chapter | 7.7K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: The relevation that Aziraphale might have been in love with him for thousands of years is surprising. The fact that literal books have been written on the subject comes as even more of a shock.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: My favorite Good Omens fics are the ones where they don’t realize that they have literally been in love with each other for thousands of years before realizing the truth. This definitely didn’t disappoint.

GRANDMASTER OF DEMONIC CULTIVATION (MO DAO ZU SHI)

🔹️ 𝙒𝙀 𝘽𝙐𝙄𝙇𝙏 𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙊𝙒𝙉 𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙎𝙀 (𝙊𝙐𝙏 𝙊𝙁 𝙎𝙒𝙀𝘼𝙏 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘿𝙐𝙎𝙏) [AO3] by 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙢𝙮𝙘𝙤𝙖𝙩 [Tumblr] 𝙞𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙮-𝙮 [Tumblr] 𝙄𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙮 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Song Lan/Song Zichen x Xiao Xingchen 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 5 Chapters | 38.7K Words | Yi City Fix-it

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Days turned to weeks turned to months, and one morning Xiao XingChen woke up in a flood of vicious, furious guilt. These weren’t feelings he would every truly birth to the world, he knew, but they still had to be felt. Se feel them he did. He felt them like a spray of neurotic blood.

You’ve started a family without him.

Song Lan gets to Yi City just a bit earlier, and A-Qing asks her Daozhang some very pressing questions about the Stranger. This changed everything.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: THE FIX-IT I NEEDED!!! I know I constantly say I have new favorites and I’m gonna say it yet again because there are simply so many amazing fic and authors out there. The Yi City arc is one of the most heartbreaking parts and I ry about it everytime about how tragic it is. This feels like it could have easily been Canon and I’m already feeling the need to reread it.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Song Lan/Song Zichen x Xiao Xingchen 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 13K Words | Demon Cultivator!Xingchen

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Wei Wuxian does not walk out of the Burial Mounds after three months.

Instead, Xiao Xingchen does.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: An interesting AU. I never thought about Xingchen as practicing demonic cultivation and even though he only does it because it’s kinda forced on him its an interesting story line.

STAR TREK (TOS/AOS)

🔹️ 𝙏𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙎 [AO3] by 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙖 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: James ‘Jim’ Kirk x Spock 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Explicit | 4 Chapters | 17.7K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Sometimes the other Vulcans wonder how Spock managed to obtain such an exotic bondmate, and sometime Spock wonders himself.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I’ve seen posts about Kirk on an all Vulcan ship and this type of reality could not have turned out better than this fic! It’s really enjoyable reading about Kirk interacting with all these other Vulcans and how exotic they think he is. Especially when Spock starts acting a little wild as well.

why is this so funny

[ID: Reed Erickson, a trans man with styled hair, wearing a dark suit and posing with his hands folded. END ID.]

Reed Erickson (1917–1992)

Excerpts from the podcast Making Gay History, S04E07: Reed Erickson.

“He was really accepted in society, both for his relationships with women and his transition, which is really interesting when you think about the 1960s. There were very few people who could so openly and publicly transition, let alone maintain multiple marriages.”

“The influence of the Erickson Educational Foundation cannot be stressed enough. We today would not have trans health care, period, without the funding and the information provided by the Erickson Educational Foundation.”

“It was the first organisation in the world that actually provided support and information to trans people, both through its newsletters and publications as well as an in-person office where people could call or drop in to receive information.”

“Essentially, the framework that trans rights organisations use today in terms of collecting resources by area and distributing them to trans people in need, is based off the work of the Erickson Educational Foundation. So without that, the modern trans movement as we know it would not exist.”

[ID: Three photos of Reed Erickson. In the first, he is standing with his girlfriend Daisy Harriman, wearing a dark suit while she wears a pink dress. In the second, he is posing shirtless, with his top surgery scars visible and obvious facial hair. In the third, he is posing with his wife Ailene and their daughter, in the late 1960s. END ID.]

Trans history involves a fabric of people across generations and cultures. Many trans stories have been erased, particularly trans male contributions, in favour of the myth that Stonewall rioting was the single galvanising event responsible for all progress.

Remember:

Trans men have always existed, and have always been involved in the fight for trans rights.

Stonewall was vitally important, but LGBT+ activism existed before then, too. To think otherwise is to erase the hard work done by the full spectrum of LGBT+ people.

Erasing trans male history further isolates modern-day trans men, and perpetuates the myth that we have never been involved with our own communities. Erasing cis gay and lesbian history perpetuates the myth that our communities have never overlapped, or acted as allies to one another. If you’re passionate about Stonewall, for example, I suggest you educate yourself about Stormé DeLarverie, AKA “the gay community’s Rosa Parks”. She instigated the uprising.

There is not one single person, or one single event, which is responsible for all progress.

Almost 1K words in the "Chrissy Cunningham/Eddie Munson" tag on AO3!!! Started reading when there was just a couple hundred and it's been awesome seeing the numbers grow everyday and all the new fics!

I've been watching too many bookbinding youtube videos and I really wanna try it. Thinking about buying some supplies online in the next couple of days.

I think they'd just keep ordering batty meals until they all get one of the red robin toys

my piece for @timdrakeflipzine

tumblr is probably gonna destroy the quality, but here’s a quick little comic i came up with last night! an asexual child of aphrodite asks for some guidance from her mom. 

(small edit: after a couple of comments, i want to add that i wrote this as a reflection of my own experiences of being on the asexual spectrum and dealing with the self-doubt of growing up in a highly sexualized society - it’s not meant to be a generalization of all aro/ace people or me trying to speak for anyone)

(ACE EXCLUSIONISTS DO NOT INTERACT, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU)

my writing is a little bit illegible, so there’s a visual description with text under the cut: 

Keep reading

Well, here’s another late post because finals were keeping me too busy.

Starting Monday (4th) I have finals so this week I haven’t been reading as much because of the amount of homework and studying I have to do. Luckily, I’m going to have a couple weeks free before I start my summer classes.

BBC’s SHERLOCK

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 5.4K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Sherlock stared at the imperfect circle on his left wrist in horror, then sat down on his bed with a bit of a thump. After over thirty years, his heartmark was finally showing activity. This was not good.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I’ve really found myself falling for fics where Sherlock falls for John first and thinks its unrequited but it’s actually not. It’s oddly specific but one of my favorite types of fics.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Explicit | 11 Chapters | 41.2K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: John may be predictably average in most things, but there are a handful of areas in which he knows he is uncommonly skilled. He can make a great cup of tea, for one. He’s also good at patching folks up, putting bullets precisely where he wants them, and listening.

The one skill that John is perhaps most exceptonal in, though, is language. John is a polyglot.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I LOVED this! Especially because John assumes he is average but *suprise* he knows way too many languages.

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Sherlock Holmes x John Watson 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 10 Chapters | 15.7K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Sally Donovan discovers an old secret John Watson considered long buried - a ten-year old “Men of the Armed Forces” calendar, which has John as a very enticing pin-up for August. The image of John might just change the way everyone sees the unassuming sidekick, even Sherlock Holmes. 

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: A hilarious fic that had me laughing the entire time. John was in a pin-up calendar several years ago and it now comes back to haunt him.

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: John braced for the cutting deduction the day they met at Bart’s and Sherlock said “Afghanistan or Iraq?” Six months on, it still hasn't come.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I didn’t know a trans!John was what I needed until reading this fic but now I wish there were more!

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: He could leave John with a piece of himself. He could give John a secret. He could come clean about the one other thing he hadn’t told his best friend, the thing that didn’t matter to anyone but Sherlock now.

“Sherlock is actually a girl’s name.”

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: After reading the fic above about trans!John I searched for more trans fics in this fandom and stumbled upon this one. A beautiful read!

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Derek Hale x Stiles Stilinski 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Mature | 1 Chapter | 10.6K Words

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: “You guys are really cute together, how long have you been married?” Ryan questions, Derek frowns at the question, why would he think Stiles and him were married? 

“What?” Derek asks, his brow turned down in confusion.

“Oh have you guys tied the knot yet? I just assumed since the page you showed us of your work earlier said Hale.” Rya replies with a shrug.

“We’re not...together. I’m adopted, the Hales took me in which I was like five. Derek’s my best friend.” Stiles explains with a frown.

“Really? But the way you two talk and touch each other...and you live together. You smell exactly the same too, like you’ve rolled around in each others scent. You’ve been inseparable since you got here even. I just thought...” Ryan trails off with a look of disbelief, his cigarette forgotten in his hand.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: First off, we basically got a punk!Stiles especially with a bunch of tattoos! Second, who doesn’t love fics where the main pairing is thought to be in a relationship when they aren’t?

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: James 'Bucky' Barnes/Winter Soldier x Steven 'Steve' Rogers/Captain America 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | General | 1 Chapter | 3.3K Words | Soulmate AU

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: At some point in everyone’s life, the first words their soulmate will ever say to them will appear in deep black writing on their skin.

The words fade to light grey when a soulmate dies.

Sometimes new words replace them, whether they’re wanted or not.

(These were the words Steve was was born with, running in a messy, uneven line across his skinny little chest, beneath both his collar bones: You okay pal? Those jerks didn’t hurt ya too bad, did they?

Steve woke up from the ice in 2011 with the words, Who the hell is Bucky? circling his heart, in printing so precise it barely looked human.

Steve hated them.)

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I loved this fic (as I am clearly a sucker for soulmate aus)! What as really interesting to me was how the author portrayed soulmarks and what happens to them during Steve and Bucky’s lives.

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Xie Lian’s soulmate died a long time ago, he grieved and mourned, cried and screamed. Its really too unfortunate how he falls in love with someone still waiting for their soulmate to come back.

Or. Soulmate AU where you feel your soulmates pain and hualian have a bit of a miscommunication going on.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I don’t know why I love miscommunication fics so much. The angst kills me but the reunions are always so beautiful!

I swear half of the fandoms I'm in is because I saw random artwork and thought it was so beautiful I had to watch the show.
