Taking A Nice Relaxing Drive Through 1928 New York In “Speedy”, 1928.

Quick reminder that it's always morally correct to punch nazis.

Imagine watching a movie where a sudden twist happens—a car crash, an explosion, a shocking revelation. In that moment, you’re caught up in it. Your body reacts, maybe your heart races, your breath catches, and for that brief period, it feels like the most real thing in the world. You don’t stop and think, “Oh, this is just a movie,” because you’re fully immersed. But then, the scene changes, and as you keep watching, you naturally shift back into the awareness that it was always just a film playing out exactly as it was meant to, frame by frame. Nothing was actually out of control—it just seemed that way in the moment.

That’s what happened. The accident itself felt abrupt, unexpected, and for a moment, I was just there, experiencing it as it unfolded. There was no time to intellectualize or analyze—it just happened. But afterward, there was this deep, undeniable clarity that everything was exactly as it was meant to be. Not planned in a way that suggests someone sat down and mapped it out, but planned in the sense that everything unfolds spontaneously and perfectly, always. Even the initial shock, the seeming confusion, was part of that.

It’s like how waves crash in an ocean—each wave rises, crests, and falls back naturally, without any mistakes or missteps. It just does. And even if, for a moment, a wave might “forget” that it’s the ocean, that doesn’t change the fact that it never actually wasn’t the ocean. That’s what’s paradoxical about it: in the moment, you can feel like you’ve “forgotten” the underlying nature of everything, but once the moment passes, you see that you never actually forgot—because forgetting itself was just another part of the flow.

That’s why it’s impossible to ever really “fall out” of understanding. There’s only ever this, unfolding exactly as it does, and whether you seem to remember or forget makes no real difference.

Hi Minnie! Do you or any of your followers have a stucky fic written the past one or two years or so that reeeaaaalllyyy stuck with you for one reason or another? I’m always the one who accidentally misses great fics until years later! (I’ve read lots of great new ones too and I’m so grateful for all of you amazing writers, but you know, considering my history surely there are lots more out there that I’ve just failed to find yet!) 😊

Hello sweetheart! What an excellent ask, thank you for this! 💕 I am also always missing out on masterpieces because I can't keep up or lose track of newly posted fic, so I really hope maybe some others might have additional recommendations that I haven't read yet and can go check out 👀

But as for me, here are a few that are fairly recent (not all from the last two years but ugh, time flies!) that I have loved and think about often! I am 10000% forgetting a whole bunch and for that I am sorry, I swear there are so many more that I just can't think of right this second, sorry!! But I hope you enjoy these ❤️

A whole bunch of fics by ZenaidaMacroura / @zenaidamacrouras1, like Unpredictable Synchronicity, Backhoe and History of American Capitalism and Only The Good Die Young

An Apple A Day by Squad of Cats / @norelationtoatticus (and I have also heard AMAZING things about their fic Operation: Gros Michel, which I am saving for when I have some time to properly binge it!)

I Wanna Live in the Hidden Parts of Your Skin by Voylitscope_speed / @voylitscope (and so many of their other fics, all of them are 10000 worth a read!)

I also think about Another Song, Another Spring by @somanywords allll the time, it's such a comfort fic for me!! Definitely check it out if you haven't yet.

Obsessed with everything @dharmasharks writes, but this one is recent and it was just so damn gorgeous! Tried to drift but don't know how

And the other day, I finally read Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico by RecoveringTheSattelites / @thisonesatellite which was just such a brilliant Western AU that I highly recommend! I have also heard amazing things about their most recent fic tomorrow never knows, that I have not read yet but am very much looking forward to!

Oh, and I also recently read There but for Fortune Go I by StrungoutonStucky / @onecontinuoussigh which was amazing and a fic l'll be thinking about for a long while!

So yeah, I am for SURE forgetting a bunch, but please feel free to add your favourites! 💞
