Series: Part 2 of When Trouble Came
Summary: After the events of "When Trouble Came," Steve takes Tony home with him, back to his childhood apartment where he now lives, so they can spend the night together. Conversation ensues, and it becomes very clear that they're going to be together for a lot longer than just the night.

This is the epilogue to When Trouble Came that I promised I had. I thought that this was going to be a nice little timestamp from Steve's POV, and then I realized it was 35,000 words. Whoops.

What I Just Finished Reading

Katie Chandler, Backhanded Compliments: A f/f tennis rivals-to-lovers romance that's also a name-on-wrist soulmate story, because I guess this is just what Real Books are like now. It's... okay? The smut was actually decent, and there was some interesting worldbuilding in here (everyone visits the archaeological museum of Naples and talks about the classical views of soulmates), but I think the author should have built up the rivalry before having them actually realize they were soulmates, because pre-existing character investment is not happening in original fiction, and it wasn't really clear to me why they couldn't just be together.

What I'm Reading Now

Comics Wednesday!

( Alien vs. Captain America #2, Avengers #33 )

What I'm Reading Next

I have to read one more book this year so that I do not fail my pitiful Goodreads challenge.

lysimache says I should finish reading this novella about Pegasus written for students learning Ancient Greek, but my bookmark fell out and I don't remember where I was. Also I forgot the word for "bridle."

When Trouble Came (87848 words) by Sineala
Chapters: 16/16
Fandom: Marvel (Comics), Marvel 616, Avengers (Comics)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Characters: Steve Rogers, Tony Stark

Summary: After the defeat of the Progenitor, Tony is surprised to find that Steve has changed his mind and would now like to take him up on his offer to relax in the hot springs. Steve, more depressed than Tony has ever seen him, would like to compare notes on their respective judgments and find out how Tony's been doing in his newly-sober life. He'd also like to reveal a few long-held secrets about his feelings for Tony -- and there's more than one surprise here.

Remember me? I used to write fic! This is mostly unedited, but also it's been sitting here for about three years and I mostly just wanted it off my hard drive. Thanks to Blossom for cheerleading this while I was writing it.

This is about 90,000 words of meta disguised as fic, about Judgment Day and about how much I hate Cantwell's Iron Man run. Steve and Tony spend this entire story conversing in the Avengers Mountain hot springs. Then they fuck. That is the actual plot. There is also a short epilogue from Steve's POV, coming soon. They go to a different room for that one.

(When I say "short," I mean "35,000 words.")

This is the thing that's been consuming my brain. Part 1 of 4, but it'll be done before the premiere!

An Act of Indignation (14569 words) by Alethia
Chapters: 1/4
Fandom: The Pitt (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Jack Abbot/Michael "Robby" Robinavitch
Characters: Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, Jack Abbot (The Pitt), Original Male Character(s), Original Female Character(s)
Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Iraq, Médicins Sans Frontières | Doctors Without Borders, War, Porn, First Kiss, First Time, how DID robby and abbot meet?, what if it was at war?
Summary:

Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"

"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.

Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.

And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

Two fics and two vids about the Ody3 ship Max/Tristan/Avery! I'm going to miss this show.

✰Winning Hand by roseblushvision

She had been keenly aware of how Tristan and Max barely touched each other that night, and when they did, they tried to play it off as accidental. There had been a curiosity there, but not one that either of them had felt free enough to satisfy. At that moment, Avery didn't think twice about it–she would never make them do anything they didn’t want to do–but the past few weeks have made her wonder if the only thing keeping them from crossing that line was their own unnecessary inhibitions.

Well, it’s not really wondering, actually. She’s quite convinced.

The job talk-turned flirting, and the way Avery leads the guys to a place where they can try something new with each other is so plausible, plus the make-out is hot. The Max/Tristan of it all!

✰Gonna Want to Get Involved by asexual-fandom-queen (writeordietrying)

They’ve been in this thing with Avery, for better or worse, for a few weeks, and while the matter of what that makes Max and Tristan to each other hasn’t come up, it’s been the unspoken elephant in the room.

Max and Tristan finally connect their side of the triangle. Avery has a front row seat to watch.

Tristan's confidence is so sexy in this, plus I love how the gentle intimacy and familiarity they've built with each other is showcased.

And two gorgeous fanvids ~ ( under the cut )

I finished season 1 of Sense8 recently! It premiered on June 5, 2015. Season 2 premiered December 23, 2016 with a Christmas special. The rest of season two premiered May 5, 2017. SO I filtered for fic and vids that were updated prior to 23 December 2016 for my first rec list of

rec_cember. If you have any season 1/post-season 1 sense8 recs to add, please do share (self-recs welcome)!

✰Lito/Hernando & Dani Seasons Fanvid by MurakiLovesg.
This is such a beautiful summary of Lito & Hernando & Dani during season 1. I really love the way it captured their shared joy by the end! Plus this song is so perfect for Lito.

✰Cold Shower by Callay (Will/Lito, Lito/Hernando, Rated Explicit).

Will’s trying to get his bearings, pulse racing. “Were you just – “ he starts, and then he knows the answer.

Because suddenly he’s with Lito, in his expansive, steam-clouded shower. And Lito’s with Hernando.

I wanted to read something with this ship ever since 1x06 and this fic delivers! I love how the author describes the way they switch between visiting and inhabiting each other's bodies. Will's inexperience compared with Lito's experience is so sexy to me.

✰[VID] Breath Me by Butterfly.
Gorgeous compilation of season 1! I really like how this highlights how extraordinary and meaningful their connection is with each other. The vidder does such a good job of balancing everyone/giving everyone screen time, which I'm sure is a challenge with such a big main cast.

✰Angst vor der Angst series by bluetears07 (Sun/Felix, Wolfgang/Felix, Part II Rated Explicit).

Wolfgang and Sun spend time bonding over the differences between brothers by choice and those related by blood.

Gorgeous prose and this is so sexy too! Sun & Wolfie have so much in common so this really fits. I adore how both of them let their affection for Felix flow, and they aren't threatened by each other.

I'm also shipping Kala/Wolfgang and Kala/Wolfgang/Rajan but I haven't run into any post-s1 fic that I want to dive into yet.

Men of a Singular Nature (8295 words) by Alethia
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Pitt (TV)
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Jack Abbot/Michael "Robby" Robinavitch
Characters: Jack Abbot (The Pitt), Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, Dana Evans, Montgomery Adamson
Additional Tags: Pre-Canon, Getting to Know Each Other, Complicated Relationships, First Kiss, First Time, Porn, younger abbot and younger robby circling each other, and prickly about it
Summary:

"You tell him to take the lonely new guy out, you tell me to take the lonely workaholic out, so neither of us can refuse because we're doing it for someone else. A perfect snare."

Adamson's expression warmed even further, like he was fighting off a smile, a battle he didn't mind losing. "What a way to look at it."

Jack grinned at the non-denial denial. "Sure, Dr. Adamson. I'll show your protégé a good time."

TV
•Heated Rivalry!! It's so exciting to fall in love with a new show and boy am I down BAD. Shane Hollander, the man that you are. There are specific scenes that might never leave my brain. More on this later.

•Umbrella Academy Season Four. I saw how bad the reviews were, so I totally avoided watching until now. I was prepared to hate it but I ... didn't? It did feel rushed, especially the Lila/Five storyline and Viktor and AU!Hargreeves. I wanted more of both of those relationships, actually. But I laughed at the hijinx and I did tear up in the end. I loved how the family had become about not just the seven of them (b/c of Claire, Diego and Lila's kids, etc), but in the end they still chose each other. Being in love looked really good on Five. Also, my ship is still alive b/c when Allison got hurt in the last ep, Luther freaked out and then ran to her and I ate that shit up. [This season was set during Christmas?? Perfect for this time of year]

Movies
•Babygirl. I watched this because

likeadeuce made a post about it, and it did not disappoint. This film really spoke to me! Tthere's still guilt and shame and confusion to deal with when it comes to desire sometimes! But even though that's true, the film is every pro-Let Woman Have Orgasms. Just, incredibly satisfying. Joyful, even, by the end. I watched it 3x already *g* [Totally a Christmas movie as well. So many decorations!]

•I just watched Fifty Shades of Grey for the first time. What a contrast to the above film. I mean, I'm not sure if Anastasia liked one second of the whole movie? Jamie Dornan is hot, though, I'll give him that. It's a train wreck but I want to see where it goes in the second movie.

•Sinners. The second half was SO fun. The world building was incredible! I'm not the biggest Michael B. Jordan fan but the cast really brought their A-game. I liked the balance of humor and horror and I loved the ending.

•Materialists. Chris Evans was looking cute with his frumpy hair but overall pretty meh. I did like the message at the end though - let women be the breadwinners!

Up Next
•HEATED RIVALRY EPISODE FOUR DEC 12 How am I going to wait that long D:
•I still need to finish Cobra Kai at some point.
