*sigh* ugh, kudos. stop depressing me. I stumbled across some fic that was just posted a day ago and already has more kudos than I have on anything. It ruins my carefully constructed self-reassurance that people kudo at a certain rate (at least in MCU where the traffic is enough to figure a rate on my stuff - all other fandoms I write in are too small). meh. I try not to take it seriously, but you know, sometimes I just can't help the: Y U NO LIKE ME???*sob* reaction.

Anyhoo, I'm going to blather abotu current MCU projects, because I write what I want. I have other projects in WIP, but those are non-deadline, so aren't prioritized at the moment.



1. Valentine's challenge fic for be_compromised
- I think this'll be a prequel fic for "Princess in the Tower" since someone asked for a BlackHawk kid fic. Clint-Nat go on their first date since Svetlana was born. Bruce babysits. HILARITY ENSUES. (I don't know, it's vague at the moment but kinda adorb in my brain)

2. apocafic for hc_bingo
- Maria/Steve after Thanos stomps everyone.

3. Comes the Hurricane
- technically no deadline, but of all the big projects it has the biggest readership, so it needs finishing, and also it's really going to be fucking epic, so I have to write words. Many words. I researched the Eternals and now, I'm gonna pretty much ignore all of it anyway, lol, because there is weirdass stuff in there, y'all, and it's complicated enough already.

Also, Tony Stark is a story ruiner, FYI. He wasn't supposed to have a POV in this. He has two already.

4. Not a deadline, but shiny
I also have been writing a plot-bunny of Loki/Jane (I KNOW) which includes an awesome scene of Jane telling off Odin for being awful. There's something very satisfying about the small human getting in his face and laying it down. I realize Frigga did the same thing, but she's coming at it as a mother and also someone complicit in the wrong - Jane can call him out on all the shit.



Or, tl;dr: writing. must do some.
