@androidtwin, @fightingforcreativity, @scriptatur, @hddnone Valentine’s prompt #12 with Winteriron? Your crush givingyou advice for the night of Valentine’s Day when they think you already haveanother date

Show Me Your Ankles

“So, hypothetically,” Tony said, looking up from where he wasdoing a replacement servo on Bucky’s thumb, “if someone was to ask you out,what sort of things might you be interested in doing. As, you know, a date?”

“I know what a date is,” Bucky said, trying not to read too muchinto the conversation. Tony talked about anything and everything when he wasworking on Bucky’s arm. Although, admittedly, dating had not yet come up inthose conversations. “We had ‘em, back in the stone age, an’ all.”

“Yeah, ha ha, but back in your day, you called it courting, andheaven forfend you should see her ankle by the third date.”

“Are you offering to show off your ankles?” Bucky leaned back tolook down the length of Tony’s legs. “I could get into that.” Tony was, infact, barefoot in his shop, which seemed both a little dumb (Tony worked withheavy engines and metal shavings) and oddly cozy.

“Uh, no, no ankle showing here,” Tony said, and as if to emphasizehis point, he tucked his leg up under his thigh, sitting on it. “I was justwondering– I’m told I’m terrible at dating and you know, relating to normalpeople… not that you’re, well–”

Fdjfkd, I will be honest and say that I kind of want Steve to be there for the remodeling because it feels like a vitally important emotional process for him, BUT ALSO I love this anyway. Danny taking charge and doing a thing that Steve might not have done but is very important for Steve’s wellbeing is so very in character and lovely.

1. Stiles fucking hates needles and blood, but he does love to give people meaningful tattoos so that’s what he does. He’s known to turn more people away than acutally accept, because he refuses to let anyone leave with two black bands around his arm, but the people who do get a tattoo from him praise him and his delicate, intricate work.

2. Derek works in a rescue center for animals. Animals hate him and he doesn’t like animals much, but they are better than working with people and having to interact with them on a daily basis. If he wasn’t a werewolf he would be scarred all over, because these animals really do not enjoy his company. Derek doesn’t care.

3. Derek’s left side of his body is reserved for tattoos that relate to animals he managed to safe and get back out there. His right is reserved for those he failed. He’s slowly running out of place on the left one.

4. Stiles fucking hates tattooing Derek, because not only are there needles and blood, but he also has to get the blowtorch out and he fucking hates that. He would love nothing more than to turn Derek away but, goddamit, his tattoos mean something and Stiles would never allow anyone else to mark Derek anyway. He’s still mad at whoever did that triskele on Derek’s back.

5. Stiles’ shop is almost an hour away from his flat, but Derek will be damned if he ever again lets anyone else work on him. Stiles loves hearing about the animals he saves and more importantly Derek loves talking about them to Stiles, so he does always make the drive out there.

6. When Derek’s favourite wolf dies and he arrives at Stiles’ shop with redrimmed eyes and even grumpier than usual Stiles silently immortalizes that loss in Derek’s skin before he closes up the shop and drags Derek away to get black out drunk.

(from this list)

1. Do you listen to music when you write?Not usually. I like music, but I’ve got weird hearing issues and I prefer quiet to sound most of the time. I really only listen to music when I’m driving and don’t have anyone to talk to. (Or when @tisfan sends me a link and demands that I check it out immediately right away now.) I do sometimes put on some music if a) I’m having trouble getting into the right mood for a piece, or b) some other noise-thing is happening that I can’t control, so I’ll put on earbuds and tunes to drown it out.

8. Oldest WIPOf the WIPs that I actually intend to ever finish (as opposed to the ones that have been left to languish at the bottom of the drawer), the oldest is a Harry Potter fic (Drarry) based on this amazing art. I swear to Thor I’m going to finish the damn thing. Eventually. Want a snippet?

“I’m sorry,” the healer said, sounding genuinely regretful. He reached across the table to offer comfort, but stopped short of actually touching Malfoy’s arm. He looked around as he drew back and briefly met Harry’s eyes with a tight smile.

Harry looked away, suddenly aware that he had been rudely eavesdropping. Listening in on Malfoy’s conversations was an old habit, but probably one he should consider breaking now that they were adults. He hastily tossed back the last of his drink and stood to leave.

Which was the wrong move, because the commotion caught Malfoy’s attention. He turned sharply, and his lip curled the way it always did when he saw Harry. “Still sticking your nose into other people’s business, Potter?” he sneered.

32. Most difficult character to writeHoo, that’s a tough one! All of them have their challenges, from time to time. But Thor is especially hard to write for more than a brief scene if I’m trying to take him seriously (rather than jumping into the fantrope of a poptart-loving golden retriever). Especially if I’m trying to write from his POV, trying to imbue him with the knowledge and gravitas of a 1500-year-old prince without erasing his joy in life and optimism. And Bruce is hard get right, too, because I think fandom does him an injustice by making him calm and zen; he literally told us that he is always angry, and I always want to let some of that anger shine through.

1. Ransom isn’t a small dude by any means, but Holster is huge. Logically, Ransom knows that Holster is only about 2 inches taller than him, but sometimes he just seems to take up way more space than even a 6’4 hockey player should physically be able to occupy.

2. It takes Ransom a while (mostly because nothing about and no one in the Haus can be called usual/normal/regular exactly), but eventually he starts noticing some weird things about Holster. Like that one time they were playing frisbee on the quad and it got stuck in a tree. At least 8’ above the ground. And Ransom turned around, scanning the area for a groundskeeper or janitor to ask for a ladder, but when he looked back, Holster was holding the frisbee. And he doesn’t care what Holster says, there weren’t any pebbles lying around that he could’ve used to get it down.

3. Holster also seems strangely indestructible, especially for a hockey player. Don’t get him wrong, Ransom is extremely happy that Holster never seems to get hurt, but everyone else gets at least bruises, cuts, and sprains. Never Holster, though. And don’t even get him started on that time one of the LAX bros nearly run them over with his car. And when he says nearly, Ransom means the idiot actually hit Holster, but Holster just brushed it off and insisted it wasn’t that bad. Despite the dent in the guy’s hood.

4. The thing that finally convinces Ransom that something about Holster definitely isn’t normal is the Reading Room Incident. Ransom is sitting outside on the roof, long after Nursey’s gone back inside, still a little high and floaty. Which is probably why he slips when he stands up to greet Holster as he comes back, loses his footing, and topples off the roof. And right into Holster’s arms. Because Holster is suddenly about 10 feet tall.

5. Holster sets Ransom down on the ground, and Ransom doesn’t see it happen, but from one moment to the next, Holster’s his usual self again. There are a lot of ways someone might react when they find out something like this about their best friend. Ransom’s way is to kiss Holster. Because whatever Holster is or can do, he’s been hiding it from everyone for years, but risked exposure to keep Ransom from getting hurt.

(6. “Wait, so, if Giants are real, does that mean the attic is actually haunted? Holtzy? Hey, dude, come on! Are ghosts real?” – “It’s 3:00 in the morning, Rans, go the fuck to sleep.”)

AN: It turned out to be a youtube Gamer AU, I hope the prompter doesn’t mind.

Bucky scrolled through the comments on his newest video. Most of them were positive or neutral and he replied to a few of them.  He was always anxious to find a negative one, he worked with a webcam when recording himself playing games and there was always the risk of someone commenting on his appearance, which wasn't what Bucky was worried about. He could deal with people making fun of his hair or his disheveled clothes, unshaven face. No big deal. And the few asshats that find his videos and see it necessary to comment bigoted shit on it when he talks about his LGBTAIQ+ related topics weren't anything new to him either. Block and move on. What he was more worried about was someone noticing.  

He hadn't been using the webcam for long and he was always careful not to show anything, always keeping his shoulder covered, always keeping to the left of the screen. It had helped his channel grow a lot but he didn't want people to know about his missing arm. It was hard enough dealing with it in real life he didn't need to be exposed to hundreds of abelist comments on the internet too.

There were no comments that indicated someone noticed. A few general comments about how people loved his videos even though watching him try to do redstone was cringeworthy. It was nice seeing that people still enjoyed his content even though he made mistakes. He had tried to take everything with humor when his contraption hadn't worked after the third time building it. But that was Minecraft for you, he had made up for it by starting a new creative project for the end of the episode. The blanket he used to cover his shoulders had once again drawn some attention, it had become somewhat of a meme at this point because it had pictures of cats on it. Other than that there was nothing out of the usual in his comment section.

Bucky refreshed the page again and was surprised to see a new comment had already been upvoted several times.  People were commenting on it as well and when Bucky looked at the username he also knew why.

Ironman42 had commented on his video.

Bucky panicked and threw his phone across the couch.

"Fuck."

(More after the break!)
