WIP game: coffee shop au, please!
(All of these look really interesting! đ)
I'm not completely happy with the execution, but the basic Idea is a Coffee Shop AU (duh), probably no Powers, where Clint, Maya Lopez, Bucky and probably others work in a Café that specializes in accessibility. It's close to the University and Foggy has been going there for a while. He recommended it to Matt mostly because he's trying to set him up with Clint and that's where the story starts right now.
Like I said, I'm not happy with it yet and I still have to figure out the logistics and accommodations a Café like that would need.
But anyway, here's the first few paragraphs:
On a cold morning in early December, Clint was standing behind the counter of Double Shot Coffee. The typical morning crowd was already mostly gone, and Clint finally had a moment to drink his own coffee and chat with his coworker. Bucky had taken over the morning shift for Maya, and since their schedules usually didnât line up, they had a lot to catch up on. While complaining about a professor who wouldnât stop bugging him, Bucky stopped mid-sentence and signed "Bell." Clint looked over to the door and saw a young man enter. He was wearing a warm winter coat and dark-tinged glasses. At first, Clint was confused about the sunglasses on a cloudy day until he noticed the white cane the man was holding in his gloved right hand. He frowned and turned to complain to Bucky, but the latter was on his way to one of the tables to help a customer. Clint didnât have a choice but to take the new guy's order himself. It wasnât that he had a problem with blind people, because he really didnât. The thing was just that he really didnât want to talk today. He took a long sip of his coffee, preparing to talk to the guy. As usual, he didnât wear his hearing aids; the cafĂ© specialised in accessibility, after all, so he didnât need them most of the time. The only times when he regretted being so uncomfortable just talking to his customers were situations like right now, when he had blind customers and no one was around to deal with them but him.
itâs my birthday and iâll post gay bucky barnes if i want to
Hello! I was tagged very kindly by my friends @auofgoldandfantasies @42donotpanic and @inkforhumanhands
rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have wips
Okay so, I was originally gonna limit this to mattfoggy for obvious reasons (and also because there's enough of them as is) but then I thought.... where's the fun in that? So, behold, a list of wips - some years old, some barely more than a paragraph and a dream - from a mixed bag of fandoms taken straight from my poor laptop's AO3 file.
You get bonus points if you recognise the song lyrics đ if you include the song or reference in the hypothetical ask you'll send me, I'll add a lil doodle to my answer. I say this very seriously because I love when people listen to the same music as me đ

This feels weirdly personal lmao because there is .... So much of me inside these. I really love a song lyric huh??? đ I'm just not gonna think about it. None of them are on the internet because I don't post wips. Most of them probably never will be, but they were fun to dream about in their time. I also have a few wips/ideas not mentioned. Otherwise I'd be here all day and you'd be scrolling to high hell, and I don't want to be directly responsible for someone going to hell. I mean I'm not known for being succinct (case in point) but whatever.
Thank you for the tags, I really enjoyed going through my fics again lmao some of them surprised me. I have one (1) cherik fic in all of these, and I was actually so surprised to find it again and see that it has 2118 words đ
Who will I tag??? Erm I'm trying to go for people who i haven't seen tagged in these yet, so if this is your second time .... Well, I'm not sorry did you see that three people tagged me??? Yeah. Suck it up đ
@zekeyboy @foggynelsonsblog @missmoochy @amazing-spiderling and whoever feels like joining us!

âThat sounds lovely,â Clint smiled weakly. âIâll try okay?â
âCar picnic?â Bucky tilted his head, âthen you just have to sit and enjoy the view.â
âIâll try,â Clint repeated, biting his lip and watching Bucky as he started making a simple pancake batter.
âHey,â Bucky said, offering a soft smile with the bowl and whisk in his hands. âI promise weâll do something nice tonight, okay? Even if you donât feel up to going out.â
