on closer inspection, you can see that they used different takes for the individual scenes and the alternate take is somehow even more gut-wrenching

#I’M GONANA FUCKIGINIINN #KICK 100 ROCKS #AND THEN ROLL DOWN A HILL AND NEVER RETURNM #IM SO FUCKING upset. oh my god i’m so upset #listen. storytelling. #the winter soldier (2014) is outside pov #but bucky’s memories aren’t #ha HA ha h HA HA haha #hahaha. #captain america #bye #mcu #i’m not done here. this is the difference between ‘steve looked stunned and confused as he beheld a face he had long since seen’ #and ‘bucky saw the heartbreak in his eyes and hoped never to have to see it again’ #im really mad. i’m taking a walk i gotta go i can’t handle this (via newsbypostcard)

Okey dokey, ch. 15 of TOWOID only needed some very minor edits to bring it up to snuff (moved a bit of banter that just felt out of place in 14 forward but then needed to shift the POV. Plus added a little bonus section I think will make people happy) which all in all brought it to over 5k which I was far more comfortable with than the original 3,000 something words which felt short given the lengths the chapters have reached. 

After that I have the final chapter, which still have a few scenes that needed to be written for the first time. It may delay the posting a little, but I don’t think by too much. I know the scenes very well, but I left the chapter deliberately unfinished because I wanted to make sure I could include any threads readers felt were missing that I overlooked while writing the story in isolation. That one will probably be quite long and posted with the next week or so. But I intend to put 15 up tomorrow after one last pass ^_^

Does anyone remember fanfiction from like 2001 to 2004 tho?

-wacky, highly out of character ‘sleepovers’ with the villains of the series

-not bothering to research the culture the series originated from (we live in Japan but for some reason we’re celebrating a westernized version of Christmas?)

-sugar highs??? the entire cast has eaten sugar and now randomness ensues!!1!

-really surreal oneshots taking a completely illogical idea to the highest possible level played completely for laughs (re: maybe Harry was so good at flying because He Was A Broom All Along)

-user guides for characters (as if they’re adoptable robots)

-disclaimer at the beginning of the story, end of the story,
used as page breaks in the middle of the story I DO NOT OWN THIS PLEASE
DON’T SUE I’M DIRT POOR

-author’s notes at the beginning of the story, end of
the story, used as page breaks in the middle of the story, LOL I WROTE
THIS AT ONE IN THE MORNING PLEASE REVIEW

-nutshell/condensed retellings of the series, again usually humorous

-AUs where everything except the main character’s names are completely different that have no real connections to the series (High School AUs are EVERYWHERE)

-The writer’s favourite character isn’t dead and the rest of the cast questions it once and then never mentions it again

-the writer talking to the characters in script form before the story actually starts

“R/R! Don’t like, don’t read! Flames will be fed to (insert fandom reference here) XP XD”

-truth or dare fic where all the characters are in a game show kinda thing where the commenters get to send in requests for the next chapter

-“100 ways to annoy x”

-songfic w the lyrics right in there

-random google translate Japanese

-self inserts EVERYWHERE

Fingertips smudged in blue ink

Hermann is not nearly as neat as he thinks he is. He might be a lot neater than Newt, sure, but he’s not totally put-together and perfect. For one, as professional as he wants his image to be, his clothing can often look messy as a result of not fitting properly, begging to be readjusted. And another thing – he always leaves half-drained, cold mugs of tea around the lab, sometimes on Newt’s side, and seems to have no idea that they’re his after the fact.

And the most persistent one – he’s always covered in whatever he was writing in. Chalk dust settled into his hair, streaking up his sleeves, absolutely coating his hands like he’s a gymnast or something. When he works with paper and pencil, it always ends up smudged all over his hands and sometimes, as a result, his face. It’s unbelievable; Newt doesn’t know how he manages it.

Newt’s startled when he walks into the lab one morning to find Hermann’s fingers stained with blue ink. He notices it as he sets down a mug on Hermann’s desk and glances over at his hands on the keyboard.

The Limits of Reason: Chapter 8

Chapter: 8/11

Words: 50884

“That I did,” said Newt. “That I did. You didn’t have a Facebook, so I had no idea what you looked like. You know what I was picturing? Some dude in a leather jacket who didn’t cut his hair himself. You sounded way cooler in writing.”

“A leather jacket,” spluttered Hermann. The back of his neck felt very hot, and Newt’s fingers laced with his own helped little.

“Oh, yeah. Leather jacket, combat boots… I imagined us going out to a bar, and then some guy tries to pick a fight with me, but then you step in and suplex him into the bar with the power of math. And also your muscles.”

At 5.5k this chapter is slightly shorter than usual, but we are out of the thick of the Nightmare Action at last! Time for Hermann and Newt to recover and have a little chat about feelings. I’m excited about this chapter, but then again, I’m very excited about everything from here on out!

Chapter one

shesnake:

“I felt that thread that had come between us, tugging, tugging at my heart – so hard, it hurt me. A hundred times I almost rose, almost went in to her; a hundred times I thought, Go to her! Why are you waiting? Go back to her side! But every time, I thought of what would happen if I did. I knew that I couldn’t lie beside her, without wanting to touch her. I couldn’t have felt her breath upon my mouth, without wanting to kiss her. And I couldn’t have kissed her, without wanting to save her.”
