Fanfic Bunny - Tumblr Posts
I’ve been sending Adam pics to a few friends this morning with some thoughts about them. It’s my distraction to start my morning. This one got away with me a bit, but I thought it was worth sharing, even if amuses other fans.
This one with the glasses actually makes me think of Clark Kent. It's a small smile, but so sweet. I can't see Adam as Clark/Superman, but perhaps Rey wants Ben to wear a Superman costume to a Halloween party, and he shows up in glasses and a flannel shirt and tells everyone that he's Clark still on the farm, dressed for a day (okay, actually just a few minutes, that's all it takes Clark) of farm chores, and thinking about how he looks without glasses. He's worn them since he was a kid, because his parents both needed them, it would seem weird if their supposedly biological son didn't. But soon he'll be in the big city of Metropolis, maybe he could start going without? Does he look okay without glasses? He's so used to them, his face seems strange naked. And thankfully he decides he'll keep them, so he can still use their removal as part of his disguise when he soon becomes Superman.
And admittedly, Rey is a little exasperated, because she'd almost come dressed as Lois Lane, but a sharp suit and a notepad had seemed like lazy cheating, so she's amazingly stylish as Harley Quinn, baseball bat and ponytails and all, with a special blond rinse, and she'd wanted to see Ben in tights, would that be too much to ask? Those man's legs deserved spandex clinging to them, and Rey deserved to see it. But he's so freaking adorable, wandering around with his glasses half-pulled down, earnestly and geekily telling everyone who will listen this elaborate backstory about Clark's thoughts so he could get away with jeans and plaid shirt, that screw it, they'll leave this party early and she'll climb him like a tree and totally forgive him as soon as he makes her come twice.
Maybe she'll talk him into tights next year.
Look at this picture, with three kids hanging on Adam Driver, and he’s able to support all of them. It makes me want the fanfic where Rey has grown up and gone to work in a foster home, so that she can give kids the love she didn’t have as a child. And Ben has shown up to vet the foster home as a possible charity for his corporation to support. Being an only child, he’s uncomfortable around kids, but he falls for Rey, so finds excuses to hang around. His vetting must be thorough, right? Can’t have his corporation embarrassed by a scandal. He finds himself relaxing around the kids and horsing around with them, as Rey finds herself noticing his broad shoulders more and more and eventually falling in love with him.
Has anyone written that fic? It totally should exist.
I know these pictures have been all over Tumblr in the last few days, but they gave me bunny thoughts I had to share.
Here's Ben, trapped in quarantine, gazing out the window, looking to see if Rey is approaching. He knows he should be grateful, he works mostly at the computer, and he's an important person, he has no worries about losing his job. He spends his day on his keyboard and Zoom in his comfortable apartment. But it kills him that Rey is an essential worker, and he finds himself often at the window, hoping that she'll come home early for some reason and he'll see her approach. She's careful, of course, she puts her scrubs in the washing machine and then takes a shower, but afterwards, she's his, to comfort from the stresses of the day, to cuddle and make slow, sweet love to her. She wanted to stay completely distant from him, but that was more than he could tolerate.
Sometimes he just drapes himself over the couch, when she hasn't been gone long and he knows it's pointless to look out the window. He can't focus on work any more, and needs a few minutes to be miserable and recoup, wishing that there were a few things in their apartment he could break. Since meeting Rey, he's been working on his anger management skills, but oh, he'd really love to smash things. Anger at the world's situation, anger at the risks Rey takes, anger that supporting her is all he can do, and that seems like such a small contribution to a massive problem. He can't find a way to release his anger, so he waits and mopes.
I made myself a bit sniffly about poor Ben in quarantine.
Sometimes I look at a picture and think...Why haven’t I written a fic where someone has to jump into a pool to perform a brave rescue and then afterwards drinks a beer while sitting with wet clothes clinging to every curve of his body while the rescued person is recovering? Because, of course, he’s trying to look nonchalant about it, even though he’s deeply unsettled by how close he came to losing this person. Why hasn’t that even occurred to me?

That’s just the kind of art that you have to look at and think, okay, this is an AU where he grew up as a prince of Alderaan, and this is a luxurious indoor pool in the palace. There’s only him and the other person, who is standing at the edge of the pool and hesitant to enter, because that person didn’t grow up swimming. Ben’s trying to lure them in... and of course, he has to succeed. Even wet, his hands are so calming and strong, as he takes their hands and lures them to walk down the steps and join him.
Do they have sex in the pool? Perhaps the other person is worried but unable to resist the prince. Or maybe after a swimming lesson, they end up on the super soft and water absorbent cushions by the pool?
Thank you @mini-mantis for the coffees! (◕∀◕✿) Have a (very) quick shirtless Adam Driver!
(The last person who bought me coffees got a shirtless Dorian, so why not make it a thing? xD ALSO FEVERISHLY APOLOGIZING PROBABLY GOT MOLES WRONG BUT DEAL WITH IT xD)
I laughed so much. I have never so much wanted to write a fic with ghost fucking in a lighthouse. I have no idea what pairing though, would need to be AU. Chris Evans looks really great in a sweater, we know that from Knives Out. Lol.
Tony thought he imagined the smell of pancakes and bacon, a homey morning smell that brought up fond memories of Ana and Jarvis. As he stumbled out of his bedroom and toward the penthouse’s kitchen area, the smell was stronger, why would an olfactory delusion get stronger? Then on the table he saw the source of the delicious smells, two plates fully loaded, scrambled eggs and fruit with the pancakes and bacon, glasses of orange juice by each setting. He paused, scratching at his chest, wondering if he should go get dressed in more than his boxers, when the door to the kitchen opened. A man stepped out, wearing jeans and a hoodie, carrying a coffee pot and two cups. At first Tony didn’t recognize the man, the long hair obscuring his face, but then he saw the metal fingers hooked in the handles of the coffee cups. “Sergeant? What are you doing in my house?”
Steve and Sam were somewhere in Europe, hunting for the Winter Soldier. Tony still hadn’t quite believed Steve’s insistence that Bucky Barnes was a brainwashed Russian assassin, but he’d seen that face in enough WWII footage to accept the truth in front of his eyes.
The Winter Soldier paused, not looking especially surprised, not pretending that he hadn’t heard Tony’s stumbling steps into the room. “I thought we should talk. Before I let Steve find me.”
Of course the Sergeant didn’t bother explaining how he broke in. He was, after all, a notorious assassin, used to defeating even the most sophisticated security systems Tony contemplated whether he should be concerned, but mostly he was intrigued. And wow, was the Sergeant hot, a fact that Tony had never quite appreciated in old black and white stills of a presumably dead guy. “I drink my coffee black,” he said, sitting down.
Oops, missed the ‘in bed’ part. Oh well. That was fun to contemplate. *cackles*
If I make you breakfast in bed, a simple “Thank You” will suffice. None of this “How did you get in my house” business. So rude
Thoughts from the 355
I’m back from watching The 355 and I admit, I have rolled my eyes in the past at fans who can’t resist redeeming the bad boy. Sometimes characters are douches, you know? And yet! I can’t help but think that Nick is a fellow who survives, and of the day when Captain America and his team stealth attacks that prison, because they’re heard nationals from other countries are being illegally held. Sam pulls out Nick, who is in bad shape, physically emaciated and suffering mentally from isolation. The computer IDs Nick, but Sam thinks it’s hinky that the CIA didn’t suspect that one of their own might be in the prison. Instead of turning him over, Sam takes him to his place in Delacroix to recover. Of course, as Nick recuperates, grateful for his rescue, he is reliant on Sam and turns more and more to him, falling in love. With his new perspective, he has no interest in revenge on Mace and the others, and commits himself to living a better life.
.... or is that a ruse to keep Sam’s support until he’s well enough to leave?
*cackles*
The Olympics Opening Ceremony are tonight and I'm already overdosing on the ice skating that started airing Thursday afternoon here. And this shall continue for the next two weeks, 'cuz I love ice skating and what the heck, it's the pandemic and I'm not doing much anyway.
It makes me want the AU where Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes grew up together in Brooklyn, modern times, and both started skating. Only Bucky took advantage of his mother's dual citizenship to skate for Romania. Steve gets dubbed Captain America for his blond hair, blue eyes, and aggressively brash style. Early on in his career, Bucky skates in all black with epaulets, which combined with his icy precision, gets him dubbed the Winter Soldier.
After they compete against each other in the Olympics (the first double gold in male figure skating?), they both skate out together on the ice for the exhibitions, and perform a routine that combines ice dancing with some pair elements, blowing everyone away. Because they had some ups and downs over the years, but always hated the way the press tried to use the 'childhood friends turned competitors' theme, and though they didn't like the secrecy, they also didn't want their love dragged into every single press conference. But they're retiring, getting married, and going to be coaches together, so it's time to come out.
Or something like that, I just wanna picture those costumes on ice skaters. :-)
I'm just… that's not a cat. My cats meow piteously in the car, they're not going to curl on my shoulder and watch the road.
No, that's an animagus! But oh, screw Rowling, he's a shapeshifter. An alien shapeshifter, and he crashed, and is badly hurt. He shifts into the first thing he sees, which is an abandoned kitty. He gets rescued by Steve and Sam, who are Captain America and the Falcon in a world where all the Avengers live and are happy and good friends. (That is the real world, right?)
Steve and Sam take the two 'cats' to a vet, where the shapeshifter appears to have a heart murmur, because he's still injured and is slowly healing himself. So Steve and Sam adopt him, thinking he's a pawspice. They name him Bucky after Steve's old friend.
Bucky recovers and is surprisingly active and friendly. He likes to sit on Steve's shoulder as he practices with the shield. Sam takes a picture and posts to social media, as the Avengers are trying to provide happy distractions for a world that is still recovering from alien attacks, etc. Of course the public loves it, so they slowly start taking other pictures, and seeing what the cat will do, and he absolutely loves going on their adventures, it's helping him to adopt to his new world.
What happens when Bucky decides he's strong enough to shapeshift again and shifts into the picture that Steve has shown him? cackles
You cannot tell me anything else about that cat, no cat willingly swims. Alien shapeshifter!!!
Fluffy baby goes on adventures 🥹🥹🥹
This should be many fanfics! Fake dating, there was only one bed, it's perfect! This should be at least one fanfic for every OTP, people start writing STAT.

Vampire!Zoe about to sink her teeth into Unsuspecting Victim!Mischa. Kylux AU anyone? Happy Halloween everyone!
I looked at this little guy (who I copied from somewhere and I no longer know where) and thought about mistletoe stories but how would a toad get the mistletoe? And thought… it should be Sam, wandering out on the bayou, and there’s a toad, and maybe Sam is a little drunk and talks to the toad about his life, and at some point he goes to brush off his shoulder and realizes that there’s a piece of mistletoe on it (maybe he was helping his sister make mistletoe sprigs for the party he wandered away from?), so he laughs, and says what the heck, and kisses the toad, and it turns into Bucky! Who obviously is a prince who has been put under a spell that Sam has now broken.
That’s not really a mistle-toad, that’s a toad under the mistletoe, but it amused me. And it is Christmas, so best wishes on a lovely holiday.
