Summary
It’s times like these that Joe really, really wishes that Andy wasn’t the closest thing he had to family. Anyone else, Joe could bullshit. He could flash his easy smile, show some charm, throw out a line that he ends up half-believing because it’s easy to say anything to anyone when you don’t actually have a fucking clue yourself. What could he say? “I keep losing in the ring to this guy because I get distracted by the color of his eyes?” “I think he smiled at me once right before the bell, and I kind of wanted to stop and ask him what he was thinking?” “I get a funny feeling in my chest whenever I see him in the lineup, and I don’t want to think too much about it because I know I’ll fight badly if I do?”

Summary
In which Furiosa considers the customs of the Vuvalini, the citizens of the Citadel consider their Imperator’s possible harem, the girls enjoy being girls, and Max gets a haircut – not necessarily in that order. A story about two people coming together in a slowly reviving world, and all the ways that their friends and subordinates and the post-apocalyptic wastelands unwittingly make it as complicated as possible.

Fic Tennis - The Old Guard by gallifreyburning, takiki16
Fandom: The Old Guard (Movie 2020)
14 Aug 2023
Summary
Fic tennis is a game played by "volleying" a story back and forth in pre-set increments (500 words, or 1000 words, or whatever length is agreed upon beforehand). There is no behind-the-scenes discussion of the plot outside of the fic; each writer has to roll with the other's plot and character additions during their volley. It is an improvised story, built by passing a single document back and forth, and it's hella fun.

Summary
When Thomas Lawrence came by the papal apartments that evening, he came, unsurprisingly, with a bundle of papers under his arm.
Vincent tried on and discarded four separate teasing comments about it, but didn’t get to decide on one before Thomas silently handed them over, and he realized they were newspapers, opened and refolded over the weekly comics, his favorite. Three of them, one for each week he’d been away.
Ah, he thought, with the feeling of a sudden hard deceleration in his chest, the press it put on his heart. Ah. All right then.

Summary
It wasn’t ever something they talked about. Bucky never said, “I gotta let go sometimes,” and Steve never said he’d always be willing to take the reins. But they knew what worked for them, even without the conversations that Steve has read about, the ones that he knows, now, are so damn important.
He tries not to blame himself too much.
