God, you're so fic

[nrgburst]

I tried to post my September media a few weeks ago and then my draft just up and got eaten, which?! Why DW, why?

So I gave up on that but here is a fic I wrote that I did not expect to! Somebody mentioned wanting it on the B^2 server and I went from: "Huh, that's actually plausible in book canon," to three thousand words in about a day. 😅 Also I tried a new thing with the GIF header - it was fun punching a black queen out, which is the color she was playing in the game I reference throughout.

This is soooo good with how it captures Ted's hyperverbal tendencies when he's upset. And how he would absolutely believe that he was to blame for somebody else's hurtful choices.🥺 Spoilers for S2!

Also this spot on drabble (and a REAL DRABBLE GUYS) for Bucky/Ayo. It gets his cocky flirtatiousness (from the original Captain America movie 🥺) and Ayo's characterization down PAT. It's such a rare-pair too, I am all asqueeeeee
