comment fic; i hope this dream doesn't mean anything; AO3; writer's block; stuff I should be doing

[kellifer]

-> I wrote a teeny tiny thing in delicatale's journal about Tony finding THAT photo of Steve (you know the one). If you haven't already, check out the whole post because it is about Chris Evans' ridic face. :)

-> Bizarre and very detailed dream last night. Chris Evans was a bicycle courier for the military (??? already WTF brain?) which... his job was not important to the dream story arc so I guess even in my sleeping brain I'm ridic detailed ABOUT THINGS THAT DON'T MATTER. Anyway, so he's in the hospital and his wife dies (never saw her so she was OFFSCREEN CHARACTER DEATH WTF BRAIN AGAIN??) and he goes BANANAS and has this total breakdown and thinks everyone is a robot or alien or something and makes this total SuckerPunch-esque bid for freedom from the hospital which included stabbing himself with an oversized novelty syringe amongst other totally normal things. He had his shirt off a lot so at least my brain did something right.

-> I wasn't replying to comments on my stories on my AO3 which... I don't why? I've always made it a point to try to reply to everything on here and considering it seems most people are reading on there now... I don't know. It's like I was kind of treating the comments the same as the kudos thing which doesn't involve active participation from me and reading them and feeling squishy but not doing anything like y'know, thanking people for taking the time to actually comment which is always super nice. So I'm doing that now because I started feeling bad. I don't know, see above for how rational my brain is.

-> I was starting to feel a little antsy because I was having three different stories actively on the go up until last week when I finished everything I was actually working on and then... nothing. I was starting to believe I'd hit that very same writer's block wall that I'd been dealing with for a while before Avenger's fandom happened but now back to the magical number... 3. foxxcub kicked me back into action with her wonderful, wonderful story that has filled my inbox with super hot sexiness and boy angst (you guys, you are in for a treat when she's ready to post!!) and when I started one story up other ideas occurred to me and it all kind of started flowing again.

-> I need to rec stuff because I've been reading A LOT lately, mostly because I'm trying to be a home body while I save for my trip to Thailand in April. I will see if I can compile a list when I get home for your viewing pleasure.

-> Snagged from futureperfect because I am an AU junkie.

Give me an AU prompt in the comments and I will plot out for you the fic it evokes in my mind.

What if Steve had been found before Tony was kidnapped, hurt, starting doing the Iron Man thing?

[kellifer-fic.livejournal.com]

Steve is found only maybe a year before the kidnapping, when he's finding his feet but he's a pain in SHIELD's ass early on when he finds out that Steve was found on his family dime and he had no idea that that search was still ongoing.

He takes custody of Steve because he is like STARK FOUND HIM, I KEEP HIM, except he mostly does it because Steve looks so lost and wounded the first time he sees him and Steve looks so much like Howard that Tony is the first person he really seems to trust.

Tony takes him home to the mansion, kind of eases him into the life and STUFF HAPPENS.

Flick to THE KIDNAPPING and Tony and Steve are all established by that time and Steve wants to tear the world apart looking for Tony but he ends up still rescuing himself and Steve is all, I would have found you and Tony is all, I know you would've, I'm just impatient is all.
