WHY IS IT LOCKED YOU NEED TO UNLOCK IT SO I CAN REC IT OH MY GOD

[shadesofbrixton]

...SORRY, JUST UNLOCKED IT. Crossposting error I think. D:

sense: this might not make much

asdfghj the tights, river referring to bucky as WINTER, stark industries drilling little holes He doesn't want to see you asdfg weeping tin soldier. BUCKY. The student when she recognises Steve.

OH MY GOD CAN YOU WRITE ZOE AS CATWOMAN???

mal, mal, everything about him, i love this, see this is why i couldn't write it because i can't write characters who are characters distinct and obvious, and you can, this is why you had to write this. i can't do this kind of thing, i never have been able to. it's the voice, his voice.

How many times can you lose someone and find them again.

How many times until they stop wanting you to?

i just. i don't even. this makes my heart hurt for them so much. i need to know this.

"talk at" ugh.

Things aren't quite the same since the crash. SOBBING IRL. and every time River, oh river, the dead man is listening in.

"God damn it, I will," Bucky rages at him, shoving upward again. He's got a scalpel in his hand, the sweet curve of it pressed up under Steve's jugular. Bucky's ranting, breathing

LOL OH MY GOD HONEY. *clings* I AM JUST SO RELIEVED, OKAY, I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER WRITTEN THIS MUCH THIS FAST OF MAIN CHARACTERS I'VE NEVER VOICED. Seriously I think the only reason this worked was because I Nano'd Firefly so at least I can crutch back on that for fuck sake.

But but but ugh SERIOUSLY this is all for you, you know it is, I mean little bits of information that I can glean from places and fic I read and stuff like that, so mostly it is A GIANT SHAM but you're happy with it and that's all that matters. ♥

Also you and your friend came up with like eight million more interactive scenarios so clearly this 'verse needs to keep goinggggg. I can so easily see them running into each other A MILLION TIMES.

Also bonus fact: Fury's head in a jar somewhere on that planet, you know it.

NO THIS IS WONDERFUL IT IS PERFECT DO NOT EVEN DOUBT YOURSELF ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Asdfghj that you write this for me, everything that you write for me (ME, UGH WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS??) just like. Actual IRL tears. Good tears though. Like. Embarrassing, but good.

I would DIE if this became a thing, you know. It would be the best ever.

Also bonus fact: Fury's head in a jar somewhere on that planet, you know it.

Woman, I would be disappointed if it wasn't. Next to the jar with Sydney's tongue... WAIT WHAT.

[shadesofbrixton]

ALSO I FEEL THE NEED TO SAY that bit about you not being able to write characterization is NONSENSE, I have been reading your fic for ...eightnineten...TEN? LOL HOLY SHIT TEN YEARS, RENNE, TEN, OKAY, I HAVE READ YOUR FIC FOR A DECADE, I AM NOW THE AUTHORITY ON THE FACT THAT YOU CAN WRITE FUCKING VOICE, OKAY.

[gracielu]

You are so lucky that I love you as much as I do, otherwise I'd have to hate you for being able to do this.

AND IT'S NOT EVEN A FANDOM OF MINE.

[shadesofbrixton]

DUDE, ME EITHER. I MEAN, AVENGERS IN GENERAL, YES, BUT I'M NOT EXACTLY... I'M NEW AT THIS OKAY.

I love you? :D

[gracielu]

Well, you need to keep drinking whatever you're drinking or reading whatever you're reading, because it's been way too long since you've posted any fiction and it makes my heart go all squeezy. DO IT MORE!

[gracielu]

please.

[red_boromir]

Found my way here via futureperfect, and oh... wow.... That was just beautiful! Really lovely! All the Steve/Bucky feelings! AND Firefly! I can't even! Bravo!

[shadesofbrixton]

Thank you so much! :D I am so delighted this thing worked out for more than two people - thank you for taking the time to leave feedback! ♥

[delicatale]

I....don't have words. I am amazed and jealous and envious and flabbergasted and shaken, all at the same time. Because this was just pure brilliance, with beautiful details and so much hope for them when it's all so fucked up and my heart ache, and the crew, Mal, River, all of them, so perfect, so perfect. I couldn't tear my eyes away. And you write this in what, a day or so? Yessss, envyyyyyyy consuming me.

Seriously, though, seriously, bowing down to you, SO VERY HARD.
