We Need To Thank This Man For Being A Visionary And Giving Matt Murdock Tighter Pants:

For the WIP Game, tell me about the No Prompt Left Behind Multiversal Mess? <3

That one is a combination of a Prompt from the Avocados serve, that I found in a previous round of no Prompt left behind and an idea I had a while ago.

The basic idea is that through some magic shenanigans, people travel between multiverses, as is a fairly well known trope.

The biggest difference here is that, instead of multiple versions of the same character meeting, it is a meeting of various characters all played by the same actor, so to each other, it's like looking in a very weird mirror, because the other person looks nearly identical, but they have a wildly different life, sometimes in a wildly different world.

So far the story is mostly a list of a bunch of Marvel characters and other roles their actors have played, but I also have a beginning for the story:

Foggy doesn’t know how he ended up in this mess. The longer he is stuck in it, though, the more it seems like no one else does either. It all started when Foggy left the office earlier than Matt one day. He walked through the neighbourhood like he did almost every day and unlocked the apartment he shared with his partner and husband. But instead of finding it empty, like it was supposed to be, Matt—but not actually Matt—had already been there.

First & Last Lines

Rules: post the first and last lines of the last 10 fics you posted.

Thank you for tagging me @evenfallreads ! (I'm also late, but whatever)

I'm skipping Podfics for this. Also a fair warning, I did Whumpcember, so all of these will be more or less Whumpy.

I - You and me (and the voices in my head)

First: Can’t I have quiet for five fucking seconds? I tried to calm my mind, doing my best to keep my breathing steady, even as I was getting more and more overstimulated by the second. I had to focus on something else, do something else, but there wasn’t anything that would help. There was just me and Clint and the noise inside my own mind. Just let me deal with life first.

Last: “Will do.” Clint smiled, brushing another kiss on my head. “Go, take that shower, and then curl up in bed, if you like. I’ll deal with dinner and come find you when it’s done.”

II - Arrow End

First: “I thought we said we wanted to stop meeting like this...” I signed, trying to keep my expression casual, even at the sight of my partner in yet another hospital bed after yet another mission gone horribly wrong.

Last: Now, he could finally focus his energy on building a new life for himself.

III - The Difference between Alone and Lonely

First: Clint was sitting at Natasha’s grave. He was sitting on the cold, black dirt and leaning against the headstone.

Last: “I’m sorry.” The Archer sighed again. “But I just can’t get up.”

IV - Brothers (WIP)

First: Matt was sitting at Fogwell’s, leaning over one of the Braille books he had gotten for school and trying to remember what all the different letters felt like when there was a timid knock at the front door. The public classes and training sessions for the day had already ended about 30 minutes earlier and quiet was starting to fall over the gym as only a few fighters were still there to get a few training rounds of their own in.

Last: A Murdock never backed down from a fight.

V - A Kitten in Winter

First: It was winter in the city.

Last: I was so tired.

VI - Sleep is(n't) for the weak

First: “Bubba..." I sighed, wheeling up to the bed where Bucky was curled around my balled-up fluffy blanket, staring blankly at his phone. “Hey, sweetie, it’s the middle of the night.”

Last: “Yeah.” Bucky brushed another kiss on my head. “I’m glad I got you back.”

VII - Fighter

First: Matt was used to pain.

Last: “Matty, I don’t think Daredevil will fight again.”

VIII - Even at your lowest point 

First: “Bucky?” Clint was standing at the door to the small apartment somewhere in Brooklyn, where Bucky had been living since he was back. “It’s me. It’s Clint.” He knocked, leaning his head against the wooden door. “Please let me in, I’m worried about you.”

Last: “Yeah...” Clint nodded. “Maybe we can do that.”

IX - As Long as I got You Back (WIP)

First: “Bucky!” Clint called, pushing past the young nurse as soon as he had finished talking.

Last: “You’re my little star,” Clint whispered, brushing a soft kiss into Bucky’s hair. “And I’ll do everything I can to make it okay again.”

X - They

First: “Clint, what the fuck happened to you?” Phil froze, as soon as he pulled the blanket back and revealed Clint’s bare body.

Last: “He did what they did.”

This is very important if we were sitting in a coffee shop both doing our own thing and the food i ordered didn't turn out as tasty as i expected (i have a habit of trying weird menu items) would you share some of your food with m or would you laugh and tell me i should have gotten the pancakes??

Both.

I would make a little bit fun of you, but at the same time I would definitely share my food and I might even try your stuff and swap with you if I like it.

Because I am interested in eating the weird things you can order, but when I have to order I will definitely freeze and black out.

Also, can we please sit at a coffee shop, both doing our own thing? I want that please.

@slashmultiverse Daily Pride Prompt Day 6: Voyage

@julybreakbingo Prompt: Pirate AU

Up Here

Clint was standing in the crow's nest, leaning into Bucky’s embrace and watching into the distance. He let his gaze wander over the open sea.

Up here, where he was alone and could see for miles and miles, surrounded only by water and wind, he felt truly free and truly like himself.

Under him, the crew was busy. People were cleaning the planks, working on the sails, or fixing the damage the last fight had caused. Men were running around, yelling, and working loudly.

But up here, everything was quiet.

Clint’s hearing had never been the best, but after years of cannon fire and taking a few too many hits, he was barely able to understand human speech anymore.

But that didn’t matter up here.

Up here, everything was quiet anyway.

Up here, everything that mattered was how far he could see and how early he could make out land or other ships.

There was a reason Clint was the one sitting in the crow’s nest. It was the same reason they called him Hawkeye.

Clint had always had phenomenal eyesight.

And that was everything that mattered up here.

Clint looked down for a moment. He saw the chaos and all the other sailors working.

Sometimes, he thought back to the days he spent running around, cleaning, or fixing stuff. It had been good days, full of excitement and other people.

Still, he preferred being up here.

Up here, he met few people.

Sometimes Bucky would join him when the chaos between the others got too much for him or when he felt lonely.

But most times, Clint was alone up here.

On long travels, Clint could spend days up here.

Only climbing down to fulfil basic human needs or when he saw a ship they wanted to fight.

Otherwise, he would stay up here, being visited by Bucky every once in a while but spending most of the time on his own.

Up here, everything he had was wind and weather, and the open sea.

That was everything he needed up here.

Up here, Clint felt safe.

And being up here meant to be free.

Being up here was what being a pirate meant to Clint.

WIP Warriors Round 3

Has it been two weeks already? I can't believe it myself.

But while we all have been working on something else, the time has come for another Round of this.

In the last two Rounds of this challenge I made very good progress on all my posted WIPS and got a lot of new chapters on near-abandoned works into the world.

This round, I'm switching it up a little and all fics in the poll are unposted WIPs.

Some of them already have quite a few words, some are barely more than an idea. And all of them desperately need some love.

Keeping the crazy going, I will write 10 sentences per vote, so... go wild! Click some buttons!

Secret extra option: Don't you have exams? - Yes, shut up. /lh
