Screw it, my brain is dead so I'm just gonna offer a not-really-meme and a meme that I have not seen in forever, and maybe one will jumpstart it a little:
1. Give me fanmix prompts, get a mix. Seriously, whatever -- fandom-related, story-related, theme, random topic, whatever you want. My only note is that my computer is evil, so for 8tracks I will need to wait til I can steal a different one and do a cover/uploads. Let me know if you'd rather I just shove you a tracklist instead of wait, I guess?
2. Give me the title of a story I've never written and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any or all of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, my soundtrack/theme song for writing, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, and/or something else that I want readers to know.
Fandoms; verses; original stories open for #2 as well as fic.

The Deaths
A mix for tinies
Immortality
the last songs you listen to before the world ends
I'm good with either tracklists, youtube or 8tracks links. Do what words best for you.
I'm coming back to do the stories, my brain is not awake enough to come up with feedback right this second.

Faeverse
Oh god this made me flail. Watching the three of them just...crumble. It is not fun but I love it all the same. I love that despite all of it though, they're still together, holding each other up as best they can.
i belong to the ground
MCU
Oh god, the Five Times Steve could have died fic. I don't know why I asked you to write this because I knew it was going to break my heart but I did and I have no regrets. The sections with Peggy and Bucky together and mourning are, as usual, some of my favorites.
every city was a gift (every skyline like a kiss upon the lips)
MCU
The epic 'Steve and Bucky go to reclaim who they are and learn what that means in relations to the other' roadtrip! God I love this to stupid extents. Like everything between Steve and Bucky breaks my heart and leaves me smiling all at once because yes they are no the same people they were but fuck, they still love each other and want one another and yesss. Also, I do love Sam in this. Him and Tasha dropping in and out of the entire thing was one of my favorite parts.
a heavy heart to carry
The last sentence: "Don't let go," she says, like favors can every be that easy, like that's all she'll need. Like the bed is big enough to hold the weight they all carry with them.
"Don't let go," she says, and they owe her so much they could never refuse.
"Don't let go," she says, and they don't.
The thing that made me want to write it: A burst of nostalgia. I just miss the faeverse kids sometimes, and I wanted to write the thing. So I did.
My soundtrack/theme song for writing: Song of Forgetting and Heavy In Your Arms, obviously, but also a bunch of songs that probably shouldn't have worked but did: Howl, See I'm Smiling, A Promise, a surprising amount of FE and a little NTN actually, Lion's Teeth.... And when I needed to take a break and laugh at something, Smash the Frickin' Fairies generally happened.
The biggest problem I had while writing it: Tess and Callum's POVs will never come easily to me. :|
Why it almost never got posted: See above. Also I went through one of those periods where I had stepped away from the story and it took ages to get back to it. But I did!
The scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage: When I decided on a strictly linear timeline, I lost some flashbacks to how the three of them were before, and Ethan with the fae.
Something else that I want readers to know: No really, I'm so sorry two out of the three POV voices in this are shaky as fuck. I tried?
Re: a heavy heart to carry
yesgood. I approve of this and deem it lovely.

:D I am okay with this.
MCU
This story. This fucking story. This story that took a great hard look at SHIELD and Hydra and how Clint and Tasha and Peggy and Fury and the choices they made in creating their agency and then in taking it all apart.
The characterization, the small details, the settings, it was amazing.
