Meanderings of a Fandom Magpie

...and some updates.

But first, the six sentences, from my RBB:

“Art school. Can I…do that? I’ve got a high school diploma from 1935 and a baptismal record instead of a birth certificate because I was born at home,” Steve answered. “None of which I can actually show to anyone because nobody would believe it.” He remembered that particular conversation with one of SHIELD’s liaisons vividly (“We’re just here to help you, Captain Rogers,” said in a way that had set off almost all of Steve’s alarms) and it was probably no coincidence that the same liaison had balked at returning what remained of Steve’s property (dog tags, Peggy’s compass) from the Valkyrie because he needed to “learn to live in this century.”

And now for updates:

Chapter Ten (the LAST CHAPTER...I think...) of "The Ability to Stop" now has a title ("Every New Beginning") and is...not anywhere near done. I don't expect to get much done on it until after I finish my RBB.

The RBB story is currently 11,613 words and 28 pages long. Which, considering the hellscape that was my life in the last couple of weeks, is something of a miracle. I think I have one more chapter on that too, then the epilogue. :)

My Super Fluffy Stucky Story (for Escapologist's Birthday,) "Illuminated Cities at the Center of Me"...is at least started. :)

 
For the RBB, I just hit the minimum word count yesterday. The story is 5414 words and 12 pages and counting. 

For "The Ability to Stop"---it's...temporarily on the back burner while I get the RBB story done. But at least the readers are used to (I HOPE) a long delay between chapters...

And my 3rd WIP (because I'm nuts like that) is a fluffy Stucky story written for Escapologist's birthday---which she'll get late, but she won't care. ;-)
