Summary
What were the creature's final thoughts? What did he do while he was at the North Pole? Did he regret anything? This is one of many possible answers to these questions.
*Warning* if you don't know what happens at the end of Frankenstein or who dies, you probably shouldn't read this because it contains spoilers. If you don't care, do whatever you want, I can't stop you

Summary
[voice memo from Achilles, 12:16 AM]
[background noise: the soft hum of a war camp at night, the crackle of a dying fire]
"patroclus, i’m drunk and thinking about your hands. thinking about how you held my spear today, which sounds like a euphemism but isn’t, except maybe it is. but not in the way you think. it’s just. you look good holding anything dangerous. maybe even me. maybe especially me."[unsent voice memo from Achilles, 12:17 AM]
[soft background music, maybe a lyre, maybe just the sound of the night]
“sometimes i think i was born from war, like i came out of my mother’s womb swinging a sword. but you— you feel like the first thing that wasn't a battle. and i don't know what to do with that. except hold on. tight. maybe too tight."a character study of Achilles and Patroclus

Bookmarker's Notes
This was gorgeous and so so pretty but also a tad sad in the way only song of achilles can be (what if you were doomed to die? what if you were doomed to lose the one you love most? what if this has already happened? what if the future's already set? will I be remembered for my love or for my violence? etc.)

Summary
“I don’t fucking care. I don’t care if you — if you think you’re not ‘my Bucky,’ whatever the fuck that means. I’m not leaving you. Come down and fight me if you want to. You can’t kill me.”
And that was it. Bucky launched himself down to crash into Steve, tumbling until he could grab Steve by his shirt and yank him down. Steve collapsed, wheezing, but didn’t struggle, didn’t try to break out of his hold.
“You fucking idiot and your fucking death wish,” he hissed, venomous. “Don’t you get it? I don’t want to kill you. I don’t know how to do anything else but kill. Take fucking mercy on me and put me down already, why don’t you?”
“Fine,” Steve snapped back, eyes narrowing. “Alright. You want me to fight you so bad?”
.
.
.the aftermath of yet another one of Bucky's massacres through HYDRA, ft. guilt and violence and eventual physical comfort, as well as hints of identity issues, not adjusting well, and two idiots feeling guilty for each other and not talking through anything
or: how bucky barnes acquires (very much unintentionally) a weighted steve blanket to help him deal with, well, yknow, All That Trauma

No matter how hard Bucky tried, he simply could not predict what would happen in this crazy new life.
Take this morning, for instance.

Summary
“Steve’s been hit with a curse,” Natasha said. She said it calmly, so Bucky didn’t immediately go flying out of the apartment to tear apart the Tower in search of Steve. Then again, Natasha would probably be calm if New York City spontaneously burst into flames. He lowered the coffee pot and squinted at her.
“Of course he has,” he said. He felt, abruptly, exhausted. “What is it?”
“The witch kept ranting about sexual repression and archaic moral principles,” she continued blithely.
“It’s not like you to prevaricate, Romanov.”
Natasha pressed her lips together. For a moment, Bucky thought she might start laughing. “It might be easier just to show you.”
OR: Steve’s been hit with a rather telling curse.
