#moon tree

I know it's Tuesday. Anyway.

How it works:

Post a screenshot of your WIP folder and then share some progress/snippets whatever you want to share about some of our WIP's (or all of them). The idea is to hopefully get people inspired to work on WIPs they maybe haven't worked on in a while or get others interested and asking about WIP's that look intriguing to them.

It's yours, whatevers left: My Clegan unrequited love fic. I have a prologue posted on Ao3. I've been working on part one for about ten thousand years which basically covers Bucky's back story, until the time that Gale and Curt go on that first mission in cannon.

Here's a snippet:

John just hums in response. He doesn’t tell him that there’s about to be a war on, anyone with an eye on the papers would know that. Eugene surely knew that. He’s content to live in a fantasy where two strangers run away together to sunny California just a little bit longer. Eugene is the first to come back down to reality, “You could join the air corps.” John pauses, looks down at his soft brown eyes, the only soft feature on his angular face. “Roosevelt just signed a big check for the Air Corps. You ever wanted to fly a plane Bucky?” He hadn’t, but, the idea sounds just reckless enough to be intriguing to him. Much better than digging ditches and getting trench foot. “Is this the part where I listen to your pitch in exchange for dinner?” Eugene laughs softly, “You go run a bath. I’ll order room service."

Or did I Fall too Deep in my Metaphor: This is my bisexual Bucky masterpiece. Basically Bucky/Lil and Bucky/Glenn Dye and then maybe all three? Who knows? I don't. Here's a quick snippet (featuring a line I totally stole from someone in the WOTA discord):

“You’re a funny man Bucky.” He threads his fingers through the chain, gently brushing over the cross. “You take your dog tags off, but not your crucifix.” John looks down at his hand, and then back at the window, trying to avoid him seeing the blush creeping up on his cheeks. “You don't want Uncle Sam to know you're a queer?” he asks softly. “But it's okay for God to know about it?"

Atrophy to Hell: A cannon verse Demacon fic. I actually think this is going to be a bigger project that I'll work on more once I finish It's Yours, Whatevers Left since this one needs some research on my part. I'm currently reading Coming out Under Fire but I also want to read Red Tail Captured, Red Tail Free and read up some more on the lavender scare before I really dive into this fic.

I have two scenes written so far, so not much but there's one scene where Benny is "coming out" to Bucky (as much as you could "come out" in the 1940s) and asks him to tell the other guys to respect the Tuskegee Airmen, to which Bucky is like "You tell them you outrank some of them" but then eventually talks to Buck about it (leading to the cannon scene of like "What do you think of the Tuskegee Airmen?" "I don't think anything of em." "Well maybe we should.")

I'll offer you a snippet:

“I’m what?” John stops walking now, looks down at Benny. Benny had never had a head for math, but at that moment he's recalculating this entire plan. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe he'd try again when John was in a better mood, or try asking Major Cleven. “Q-” Before he can get the words out John shoots him a look that tells him he doesn't need to finish his sentence. There's ice in those blue eyes. “If we were anywhere else, I’d sock you right in the mouth for that.” He steps closer, and towers over Benny. “I still might.” “I won't tell anyone,” Benny manages to squeak out, because John is a good head taller than him, and a lot broader. He's scrappy, he's always had to be, like Curt, but nowhere near as confident. John hovers over him, lips pursed, like he's still deciding if he wants to hit him or not. He should have said it was a silly rumor, take it back and run back to the bunks. But he's already made it this far, he swallows. “I - I am too.”

And we were Playing House: My Ron Speirs/John Egan fic. The premise is that John and Rosie become roommates after the war, Rosie goes to Germany and runs into Ron who needs a place to stay in the states now that the war is over and offers up his room and then essentially you get cat/dog dynamic. Complimentary snippet:

“101st airborne." He sets his things down on the bed. "If I were your superior officer I'd make you remake this.” John smirks. “I’d make you call me sir but, house rules.” “Well hopefully you're better at playing housewife than you are at making your bed to regulation.”

Moon Tree Christmas: Dating app AU Demacon Christmas Fic (that I'm still working on because I'm a slow writer). Here's a snippet:

“Would it be crazy to say I don't want you to go back to Alabama?” The words slip from his lips. It's not exactly how he'd planned on confessing that, but it feels enormous all the same. Macon takes his hand, runs his thumb along the line of Benny’s wrist. He rolls his bottom lip into his mouth, the pink of his tongue peaks out like he wants to say something, but he's choosing his words carefully. “I only have one semester left. Maybe you can come down for my graduation in June?” They're not having a “What are we?” conversation, as much as they're making a promise to see each other again and maybe that's enough for now. Benny flops back against the blanket pulling their joined hands onto his chest, over his heart that feels like it’s going to thump straight out of his chest. “Will you take me flying?” He asks. Macon lays back next to him, pulls their conjoined hands to his side kisses Benny's knuckles softly, one by one. “Captain Demarco.” He declares, a breathy laugh tumbling from his lips, Benny feels it on his fingers, it’s warm against the cold there from the air around them. “Suits you."

They are trees that grew from very special seeds: Stuart Roosa carried hundreds of them in his personal kit when he orbited the Moon in 1971 with the Apollo 14 mission. After returning back to Earth, the seeds were germinated and planted across the US and even across the world.

First on-going drama I’ve ever watched - first sentence that I would like to write. I usually watched old korean dramas because I don’t like waiting for the new episode. However, I made a big change. I watched Hotel Del Luna even if it’s still on-going. One night, I was bored, I got nothing to do. SInce both of my online friends watched and discussed it, I was a bit curious. In fact, I wanted to keep this drama as my soon to watch-drama because as a fan of Pyo Jihoon, I wish I could watch his acting. The main character is IU too and I like her. She’s so pretty as well as her voice. So, I decided to watch it.

Unexpectedly, I’m very interested in the story. This is rare, watching fantasy drama is rare for me. I usually choose comedy-romance, no fantasy, but this is different. It’s romance-fantasy, horror but funny. Hotel Del Luna itself is extremely beautiful. I remember a game that I played on Spring (lol my country doesn’t have Spring season, but I just want you to know the approximate month), called Tasokare Hotel. The difference is Hotel Del Luna is for someone who is already dead, but Tasokare Hotel is for someone who is still alive but in a comma/doesn’t remember that he/she is dead. Back into the drama, I think Manweol’s dark past is really touching. To be honest, I’m in Chung Myung side...hahaha. I’m sorry Chanseong. You’re really good at acting, you’re kind, smart, you’re always with Manweol, not giving up even if you’re scared of ghosts, not giving up on Manweol’s attitude, always try making Manweol change to be a better person. Ups.. not person... but a spirit. You’re the best. I would choose Chanseong over Chung Myung if it happened in my real life because Chanseong is more honest. While Chung Myung chose to hide the truth (because of his promise to Yeonwoo). Why did he has to do that? Manweol hold a grudge for over 1.300 years not knowing what truly happened. If I were Chung Myung even if my crush and I had to die, just die together, I would choose to be with Manweol even if we had to fight. Well but that’s a good point. It makes us really sad. Chung Myung is so handsome im sorry that’s why im in his side and ofc his sacrificing makes me can’t get over him lol. He became a firefly and is the first guest? What a painful story:”) Remember when Chanseong trapped in a tunnel? I want to intepret as Chung Myung helped Chanseong to go back to the real world because he knew that Chanseong was an important person to Manweol. I guess I'm falling deeper for him hahahaha. I don't know if I'm the only one but... I think Lee Dohyun looks really mature, manly, and good looking as Chung Myung. His costume and even his long hair suit him, really.

Unfortunately, I'm a bit disappointed with the climax, sad but expected. There’s no serious battle since Seol Jiwon is stupid and Chanseong is clever. Well, overall, it's good!

Here are their pics together before Hotel del Luna vanished.

Umm.. I like the ost! Can You See My heart and A Poem Titled You are my favourites! Go listen to them. The first one is really sad. I don't know what makes the melody suits Manweol and Chung Myung's story.....
