MASTERS OF THE AIR insp, insp, insp, insp

I'm scared everyday on the job. Every time I take a door I think about all the times it went south on me. Every car I pull over I think about the driver's whom met me, with a gun. But then I think about all the people who need my protection. And make myself more afraid for them, then I am for myself.

I am, predictably, going to ask about the funniest title. Biting Him!

oh i am so glad you asked about biting him. this one has been in some form of development since @redbelles came out to visit me in september. and borne of me going i just really think someone should bite him (gale cleven mota) it's a marge pov five times fic. something along the lines of five times she bites gale and the one time she gets bucky to do it, because she knows he's in the same boat she is. and really the part i love about it most is how it's also the layers of jealousy that marge has to unpack (what's she jealous of, who's she jealous of) and the possessiveness she feels when buck introduces her to bucky. god i just. i will get back to this at some point but i got feral about a few different ideas in the interim and now here we are seven months later and uhhh i've written about half of two different sections, but a snippet for your enjoyment:

They're going to dinner at the Officer's Club. He had told her it was the best he could do, but she didn't care; she just wanted to see him again before he shipped out to an unknown future. The club is busy, but Gale has no problem getting a table for the two of them. Men in uniform fill the room; some of them even look vaguely familiar to Marge. None of them matter to her. They're in a curved booth and Marge slides in until she's tucked into Gale's side, his arm slung around her shoulders. He's open here, at ease in a way she doesn't get to see often. A tall man with dark hair and a flushed face approaches their table, throwing his arms out wide. "Buck!" he calls out grandly. "Buck?" Marge murmurs. He turns to her, his lips brushing Marge's ear when he says, "Apparently I look just like a kid he knew back home in Wisconsin." She grins in delight at him and then turns back to the man who must be John Egan who's now standing across the table from them. Somehow he's everything and nothing like what she expected from Gale's descriptions.

marge: john egan's great also marge: what is this burning sensation sitting right behind my sternum marge unpacking none of it: what if i bite gale about it

Bethyl Coyote Ugly!!! ๐Ÿ‘€

ok so listen. this was one of the first bethyl ideas i started toying with. as a thought experiment.... because i was Totally Not Writing it. (it was before the mota and dune brainworms took back over so production is currently stalled but like. it's definitely happening) and it's one of those things that's gotten bigger than i thought it would, but it's also an experiment in that there is a full outline of it that exists outside of my head. that i finished before i started turning it into a draft. crazy. and coyote ugly is a liiiiitle bit misleading; it was more like a jumping off point. but listen. when you sit there and say it's the setting that makes this pairing work and your brain goes oh bet, what are you supposed to do? anyway. daryl is a bartender who is very Definitely Not Smitten with the new musician michonne booked in an effort to get more traffic in her little dive bar in Atlanta. and uhhh here have a snippet:

The smile she gives him is like sunshine poking through the clouds after the rain or some other poetic shit. He needs to get back to work. Those tips aren't gonna earn themselves. He starts to turn from her when she asks in a slightly smaller voice, "You're not kickin' me out?" "Should I?" He figures if she doesn't order anything then he can pretend he doesn't know she shouldn't be in here. He watches her closely, waits for her to realize what he's saying. He should know better, but he really doesn't want to kick this girl out. Not like he's lived a squeaky clean life anyway, and she'll probably be less trouble than most of their regulars. "No." That bright grin is back, making his skin go all hot and itchy. "Okay then," he says and gets back to work.

daryl's having a real normal one, don't worry about it. anyway!

tagged in the wip ask game by @meyerlansky thank you!! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. tag as many people as you have wips. people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

alright so these are in varying degrees of development and funding. one of them is a misnomer because i was lying to myself about what i was doing with that story. and uhhh there are four different fandoms represented on this list.

  • love it's a sin
  • parachute dress
  • electric boogaloo
  • experiment
  • bethyl coyote ugly what
  • haunt me then
  • biting him
  • trauma cooking
  • you're a fine girl

Snippet Someday, tagged by @littlelindentree ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–

yeah so umm i've been messing with a follow up to the one where bucky writes marge to tell her buck was shot down

Marge should put a stop to this. She knows she should, but the counter is pressing against her back and Bucky's thigh is pressed between hers and she can't seem to find in herself to do anything other than kiss him back. It goes against everything her mother taught her. She was waiting for marriage; she was waiting for Gale. Now, Marge thinks, she's tired of waiting. Her life has been on hold for years, and right now Bucky wants her. He doesn't love her, and he won't ever lover her, but he wants her, and that's more than she's ever allowed herself to hope for. His hands span her back and she arches into him, longing for more. Gale used to make her feel like this, in his father's old jalopy up in the Wyoming bluffs, but it never went very far. He never slid his hands up her skirt the way Bucky is now. His fingertips never traced the crease between her hip and her thigh, teasing her with the promise of his touch at the core of her. Suddenly Bucky kneels down at her feet, gazing up at her. His pupils are blown and his lips are swollen. She thinks he's beautiful. His hands are hot on her skin as he pushes the hem of her skirt up to her hips.
