The Stuff of which Stockings are Made

[stargraven]

After typing that subject line, I feel like I should now be writing you a dystopian AU in which Steve is gone, Tony is alive and desperate and miserable and trying to save the world, and the pair of socks Steve knitted for him - all Tony has left of Steve - are falling to tatters on his feet.

Then again, for this to be a fic for you, Steve probably got... infected, zombie-fied, or whatever, and turned on Tony, and Tony had to incapacitate and lobotomize him with the knitting needle. So he's not really dead, he's just stashed somewhere alive but destroyed, and needs his brain fixed, a little. He feeds himself and sits blankly, knitting strings of half-raveled stitches.

It's probably called something like "The Darned and the Damned." "Darning Be Damned?" "Damned in the Darning?" "The Stockings Be Damned?"

Uhhhh ok, I'm tired and that's random. And farcical. But also tragic, perhaps? :D

Aaanyway.
Thank you for another year of modding the server and contributing to making it the Fandom Home that it is. And for being a good friend, always offering support and commiseration. I wish there were less to have to commiserate about... but until that day. I long for the world bring you a better relationship with your body, and better than the doctors who seem to get at least as much wrong as right at every turn.

I love Panda, and please give her some of whatever pets and smooches she wants, from me.

Also I'm going to share with you a comics solicit for a series starting this week that I hope is half as good as it sounds:

I don't know what the feel and flavor of the comic will end up being, but I also realized that the premise itself seems like it could be a ready-made Steve-Tony fusion. Steve, for whatever reason, has been reduced to this "jumble of organs in a bio-suit," and of course Tony is the mechanic... "Queer monster love story" ensues... yes, PLEASE!

Also, I do have a Witcher fic rec, which has a happy ending, but only after many, many words of *brilliant* and agonizing horror. If you've read it, that's awesome. If you haven't, please have a very horrific and wonderful treat:

I will leave you with these Stocking Season Greetings...

I am like, UNREASONABLY excited to read this witcher fic, because I've had it come up several times in searches but I was like "no, not a sure thing" so I haven't read it. and it's 56k!! AMAZING. Thank you. THANK YOU.

Thank you for the body well-wishes. I wish we didn't live in fleshes. I am so happy to share your friendship and spend many late night hours talking with you. I will smooch Panda all the smooches for you. She wants all of them, and pets. And then more pets.

This solicit looks SUPER up my twisted little alley. Like. Wow, yeah.

SEASON GREETINGS. I hope you have a good 2021, wynne. <3

Ohhh yes, that fic is GOOOOOOOOD. PLEASE feel free to come scream about it when you read it, if you want! At some point, one of the author's notes is like, "Yeah, I didn't really set out to write a horror story..." And I'm like, you didn't even mean to write a horror story and you achieved THIS. I love/hate you! :D

Also that Hollow Heart comic - I should be picking up issue #1 this Wednesday...
Did you ever read Lonely Receiver, with the intensely dysfunctional lesbian human/AI relationship? It's a verrrrry weird comic that goes a lot of directions, but I thought it was really cool.
And same author, Zac Thompson, has a new one out called "I Breathed a Body" that I wasn't going to read because one facet of it is about social media, and I'm kind of tired of social media stuff, but then the body horror and weirdness of it sucked me in anyway, and I liked the first issue A LOT.

I also wish we did not have the requirement of living in fleshes. My fleshes has super contradictory needs that leave me not knowing how to help it be a happy fleshes so I can be a happy being living in this fleshes.

MORE PETS and smooches for Panda. RooRooRooRooWOOF, Panda! Am I speaking her language, very poorly? :D

Season's Greetings, Season's geekings... so many wishes for a better year for this world...
