    Summary

    “What’s the plural for a group of Steves?” asks Natasha, and it’s weirdly comforting that the question has a hint of whimsical hysteria to it. Good, Bucky’s not the only one who’s not dealing well with all of this.

    “A clusterfuck,” he says. “A clusterfuck of Steves.”

    Despite how little sense his life has made since he got on a battlefield to fight a bunch of aliens, Bucky's pretty sure he knows exactly what's happened when a much older Steve appears after the mission to return the Infinity Stones: he left Bucky behind to get his much deserved happily ever after in the past. Only then another Steve shows up, and another. And Bucky realizes he still hasn't got any idea what's going on.

    What he does have is a whole lot of Steves, a fraught relationship with his own Steve, and tentative plans to leave. But the more Bucky talks to all these different versions of Steve, the more he begins to wonder if leaving really is what's best for him and his Steve, or if there's a way to make something new out of their long friendship.

    Summary

    They’ve all changed since the mountain, Geralt more than most, but he’s known Jaskier since he was a teenager and there’s been more change in him this last year than the nineteen previous. 

    Whatever happened, whatever is happening still, Geralt needs to know. For Ciri and his brothers, but for Jaskier too. A year is a long time for a human, and if he’s in some kind of trouble, it’s Geralt’s job to get him out of it. 

    Call it instinct. Call it paranoia. But he’s paying attention now, and Jaskier won’t be able to keep his secrets for long.

    Summary

    Supper secured and stuffed away in his trousers, he looks up to find the silver-haired stranger in the corner, the one person who hadn’t heckled him. The man is objectively gorgeous, with fascinating hair and a body that makes Jaskier’s mouth water a little.

    Oh yes, he decides quickly, he will be climbing this stranger like a tree.

    He’s a little wrong-footed when he works out that the stranger is a witcher with big scary swords Jaskier’s heard horror stories about, but after a quick moment of thought, he also thinks about how very many things the fae elders have been wrong about all his life and decides to ignore them once again. The witcher–Geralt of supposedly Rivia, even though Jaskier can tell from his accent that that’s a lie–tries to get rid of him, but Jaskier is nothing if he’s not determined, and he’s simply too damn interested to get scared off easily.

    The witcher has clearly not realized that Jaskier is something to be hunted, and Jaskier, well, he’s never excelled at silly things like self-preservation.

    Summary

    Jaskier thinks he hit rock bottom when Geralt flushed twenty years of friendship down the drain, but then he finds himself suddenly translucent and rudely walked through by a traveller. Apparently he's dead - that's certainly a new low. He needs to find out what happened, and who better to help him than the man who's made more than clear he wants nothing to do with him.

    Summary

    “I’m not fucking done, Geralt, you stunted buffoon. I’m talking to you, no more Jaskiers. For someone who never fucking talked to me, you sure seem desperate to say a lot right now.”

    Geralt has the decency to keep his mouth shut this time.

    “You hurt me, Geralt. I asked you to come to the coast with me, and you decided instead to come inside Yennifer. Sound familiar? Yes? It should at this point because it’s happened more than fucking once but that goddamn mountain — I know my fucking worth, Geralt. I’m worth more than you’ve ever treated me in the last twenty years. Let me say, I know you’re what, four hundred? So my age must be incomprehensible to you at this point, but I shared my eighteenth birthday with you on the path. I was a child. If that is how you treat other children, by gods, I pray for your child surprise. Give the girl to Yen. Give her a chance to be something other than a doormat for your gorish boots.”

    “I’m sorry.”

    “Your armor looks atrocious by the way. I hate it. Brings out the douchebag qualities in your very punchable face.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Isolating the emotions and communication from the context of the Witcher fandom gives me a lot to think about in terms of my own regrets and grievances. There are works that show me new things to work through in therapy like a slap in the face, but this is beautifully written and doesn’t stray anywhere near overwhelming.

    Also, this is just a bloody amazing piece of work and does justice to the characters - not trivialising but also not labouring too much.

    Summary

    It didn’t escape him that Steve shared his assumed last name. “Are you gonna be my cousin?” Bucky asked dully.

    Steve frowned. “Husband, actually,” he said easily, holding up his left hand to show a typical golden band.

    Bucky scowled and closed the door.

    Summary

    It’s been such a long time, Julian. When will you be over him?”

    Jaskier’s laugh, muffled and humorless, followed the question.

    I’ll let you know when I figure it out.”

    I don’t enjoy seeing you hurting.”

    “I’m fine. Most of the time.”

    “Most of the time,”  Valdo echoed, and then, “oh, fuck.”

    After Jaskier goes viral for being a pining mess during a livestream, Geralt’s family tries to figure out exactly why the couple broke up, given that Jaskier is clearly still in love with Geralt. Meanwhile, Geralt is in denial, Jaskier is absolutely fine, thanks, and the internet is having a bit of a breakdown.

    Summary

    Left in the wake of Geralt’s ire on the mountain, Jaskier descends. Geralt follows after taking time to meditate, and begins to realise that he’s started something devastating that he may not be able to navigate.

    Obviously inspired by the events of Netflix’s Witcher, Episode Six, although from here it’ll go waaay out of canon. And the bold/italicised lyrics – I shouldn’t need to say – but they are from ‘Landslide’ by Fleetwood Mac.

    Summary

    “Bucky?” Steve calls softly, and Bucky halts, going preternaturally still.

    Steve finds himself thrown back to that day on the bridge, staring at the assailant who’d worn his best friend’s face, a flame of hope fluttering in his chest.

    It’s with similar feeling that he watches Bucky slowly raise his eyes to meet Steve’s, and a similar agony pierces through him as Bucky stares at Steve with the same blank eyes of the Soldier.

    “Steve,” Bucky says, after a too-long pause, brow ever-so-slightly furrowed.

    His gaze goes to Sam as if he’s seeking reassurance. As if he needs confirmation that what he’s seeing is real. Only after Sam has offered a subtle nod does he look back at Steve, face pale as milk, and very empty.

    “How— Why are you… here?”

     

    Or,

    Steve's epic stupidity and bad decision-making have unintended consequences.

    Summary

    I wrote this request piece from the point of view of a plus sized woman – I am one myself, and have been all my life. Some of the language and experiences in this fic come from a very real place. The process of loving yourself is one that is ever-evolving and will be a lifelong endeavour, but I promise you it’s one worth starting. I tried to capture how it feels to feel like you aren’t worthy or lovable because of your body. I hope it reminds you you’re not alone and I hope the end gives you a little catharsis. Please read tags and take care of yourself.

    Hermione,
    Sentimentality has never been my strong suit, but consider this an act of Firewhisky-fuelled bravery.
    When I sat down to write this, I had no idea what would end up on this page. I’ve spent this evening thinking back on our history and I’m feeling rather wistful.

    If there is any standard I would hold my partner to, it’s the devotion rippling off this beauty. No matter how chronically alone and empty I feel, this is the love people deserve and I don’t want to settle for anything less.

    Summary

    Ben Solo wasn't liked around the office. He had outbursts of rage, and he was generally rather unpleasant, harsh, difficult to get along with. He seemed to despise others and to be disinterested in anything anyone talked to him about. Rey didn't like him very much, their few encounters had been difficult, some even shouting matches. To her eyes, he was spoiled, ungrateful of the privileges he’d been granted by life. He refused to join Resistance enterprise for a long time, working for Snoke instead, he was harsh with Leia and Han, hostile with Luke…
    It all changed two months before Christmas, when they entered Resistance enterprise headquarters to find Holdo dishevelled, alone when Leia never missed a day, and she informed them that Ben Solo had almost succeeded in committing suicide the night before.
    Rey’s world tilted upside down.

    A Christmas story full of angst, but also hope, love, healing, forgiveness, and acceptance. And family, of course.

    He would never be and he knew that. He knew he didn’t belong in the new society that was growing from the ashes of war, just like he could never fit in his mother’s republic when he was little, or in Luke’s Academy, or in Snoke’s First Order.
    He was just broken, he had always been, and Rey wouldn’t come back for him now that she had all she had ever dreamed of, just like Han and Leia never came back when they left him with Luke.

    Summary

    A response to the LiveJournal 2016 SSHG-Promptfest: http://sshg-promptfest.livejournal.com/

    Prompt: Retelling of any mythology story with Severus and Hermione as the main characters (SS/HG or SS & HG)
    Prompter: leontinabowie

    Summary: Hermione hears an old tale told in preparation for her trip to Eleusis and Athens, where she is soon to be an initiate in the Great Mysteries. Listen, children of Hecate and Prometheus, as the centaur Lygaeus tells his tale, and as Hermione clearly envisions the story as it is spun. (SS/HG)

    Note: This is a retelling of the Persephone and Hades story. It does not involve abduction or rape, and is told from a different perspective where she willingly goes with him. This retelling is fashioned after the slightly more formal style of prose I have encountered when reading Greek myths, and the way the stories are worded and translated from original ancient texts.

    Summary

    Their gifts manifested, called them away to their higher purposes. Some of them left their friends behind. Some didn't. It depended on the person. It depended on their gift.

    When Harry was gifted in fourth year, Hermione never imagined he'd leave her behind.

    Some of the Chosen had yet to rise to their divine purpose, bringing many of the magical pantheon to Hogwarts in search of them. Hermione hoped to get through seventh year without thinking about Hades, never mind seeing him in person for the first time in years. Against her better judgement, she agreed to help him plan a wedding present for his lost bride. Their healing friendship could only last until he found Persephone, of course.

    A shame really. Winter was far more pleasant with the God of the Underworld by her side.
