Friday Fics Fix - That Particular Soft-But-Warped Tone

 

'Edward froze, glancing to the corner Stede had gestured to and seeing nothing there. Stede clearly saw something though, because he kept glancing over there...'

I finally got around to watching Our Flag Means Death (OFMD) - it will come as zero surprise to most people that I utterly freaking ADORE it!

And what I do with things I adore, once I run out of canon material, is read fanfiction - let's be honest, I am nothing if not predictable. 😅


(Fandom notes:

Canon is the 'official' stuff in the book/film/TV series/whatever.)

Nerd Church - Short Story: A Broken Princess



This is a (very) short story, first published by yours truly in the Medium publication EwhyE after I found it languishing in an old notebook.


Content warning: refs. to violence/murder. 

Also whatever spell my mother put on me to stop me from swearing doesn't seem to work on fiction, so this is quite sweary - and without *'s for once!

Friday Fics Fix - It Just Keeps Getting Colder



'Sam is pretty sure he won’t be getting up again.

“It’s not that bad,” Bucky says, his lips pressed together.

“Bad enough,” Sam rasps.'

Who wants super-angsty SamBucky?

...well that's what you're getting dammit!

The emo spaghetti goblin brain wants what the emo spaghetti goblin brain wants 😅


(Fandom notes:

SamBucky is a romantic and/or sexual relationship, also known as WinterFalcon, between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes from the MCU (Marvel movies and TV shows - especially The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS))

Nerd Church - The Little Things Are There To Enjoy...

 

It's good to remind ourselves - as often as is necessary - that the little things are there to enjoy.

...By 'ourselves' I obviously mean me - we need to remind me. ðŸ˜…

Warning/Disclaimer Time: 

I very briefly discuss mental health problems in this blogpost.

I also give opinions on what can contribute to people's mood, so: I'm not any sort of scientific/medical/psychological professional - I'm a chick with personal experience of mental health issues and an internet connection. OK? OK.



The little things contribute so much to our lives.

Our beautiful, messed-up, everyday lives are made up of the bracelet you wore this morning, what you had for breakfast, whether you tripped over the doorstep on your way out, what song is playing on the radio... etc. etc.
