#dangerous instruments

clockwork murdeeeerrrss!!!!!

Have I mentioned on here that I’m planning to write the sequel to that for Marvel Bang this year?

:-D

I feel like I can talk about this because I’ll be working with an amazing artist on it, so I don’t need to keep it secret for the artist sign-ups/reveals. I’m maybe slightly over excited about doing this, because it’s something I’ve been planning to write for two years.

To that end, I want to get a bit of warm-up practise at writing that world again, so if anyone has any tiny ficlet prompts for things they might want to see--about any of the characters, not just Phil and Clint--my inbox is open and I’ll see what happens. Anything you want to know, any background or character you’re intrigued about, throw me a line.

Chapters: 11/11 Fandom: Captain America (Movies) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers Characters: James "Bucky" Barnes, Steve Rogers Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Steampunk, Edwardian Period, Marvel Cameos, Slight Mentions of Body Horror, Prequel, Steve Rogers Feels, Putting Bucky Back Together, Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes, Rediscovered Feelings Series: Part 4 of Dangerous Instruments Summary:

Steve Rogers, former captain of the HMAS America, had been a rising star of the Royal Aerial Fleet until his airship was destroyed. He was pulled from the wreckage, the only survivor, and spent several weeks unconscious in a hospital bed while the world, and the Fleet, moved on without him. Now, he needs a new plan and a new career, both of which Nick Fury is willing to offer as part of his special SHIELD unit inside Scotland Yard.

But while Steve waits to begin his training, Fury has a small mystery he needs some help with. A masked man has been roaming the towns and villages in the south of England, stealing food and breaking into trains and museums without taking anything of value. A man with a metal arm. It's Steve's home ground, the place he grew up in, so he's the perfect choice to investigate Fury's problem. Isn't he?

(Prequel fic, but can be read as a stand-alone.)

And here it is, my first Marvel Big Bang fic! It's the Stucky prequel to last year's steampunk AU fic :-D

I currently have eight tabs open with maps of Devon at different scales, a 1901 Baedeker open in front of me with the map of train lines and descriptions of the London to Exeter route visible, a couple of printouts about police and organisation history in Devon, and a huge spreadsheet filled with timelines taking up some major screen space.

But the edits on one of my Marvel Bang fics are complete and off for my beta to scrutinise and chop at :-D

Ugh.

Now I need to summon up the energy to start the edits on the other one.

I have fallen to the convention tradition of concrud. Ick. But I’m not letting this slow me down!

Today I’m off to Bletchley Park, to learn about code, cyphers, Alan Turing, early computing, and amazing women. It will be great. There will be family visiting after, because my mother’s family lives conveniently close :-)

There is no con report (yet), but I’m sure some of you will be pleased to know that I’ve worded regularly and made a good start on the new demon!Clint fic. So many tail jokes ;-)

Fights are erupting among Occupy Wall Street protesters, so much so that one corner of Zuccotti Park has emerged where protesters say they won't go for fear of their safety, the New York Daily News is reporting Police officers also have been warned of "dangerous instruments" being concealed in cardboard tubing, the News says it has been told by unidentified police sources. "There is a lot of infighting in the park," a police source told the news organization. "There is one part of the park where they won't even go at night." Meantime, Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, is warning protesters at Zuccotti Park in Manhattan that he will pursue civil suits against anyone who assaults a union member. "New York's police officers are working around the clock as the already overburdened economy in New York is being drained by 'occupiers' who intentionally and maliciously instigate needless and violent confrontations with the police," the News reports Mullins said in a statement.
