Likes: I’ll throw a whole list out there because I’m very open to a lot of things!

Dislikes: Partner abuse, infidelity, or sexual assault between characters in the same ship (unless you’re referencing a canon plot point. I’m also fine with infidelity and abuse involving a villain as long as it’s not OOC); PWP; Hydra Steve; OOC (crack is fine as long as the characters retain their personalities); pregnancy; incest; adult/minor romantic relationships; Avengers fics with Darcy or a positive depiction of John Walker in them.

Non-fandom related requests/anything else?:
- Anything cute, interesting, or funny related to animals
- Fic recs of any of the ships, characters, or fandoms mentioned above (also open to Naruto because I feel like those are very hard to find. I’m in the mood for good worldbuilding or relationship studies, something with good emotional beats, or something very plotty)
- Fanart, fanvids, graphics, fanmixes, edits, gifsets of my ships, favorite characters, Chris Evans, or RDJ
- Your favorite recipes or easy, healthy recipes and any cooking/baking tips
- The most useful tools or life hacks you would recommend to everyone
- Links to favorite non-fandom or fandom shops on Etsy, Society6, etc.
- Things that comforted or distracted you in a good way this year
- Really cool/niche cultural or scientific facts and discoveries
- Best longform articles you read this year
- Computer and Nintendo Switch game recs for casual gamers
- Book recs (all-time favorites or your favorites of the year)
- Movie and TV recs (I'm open to a LOT of genres and topics so I'm not picky. I like non-English stuff too so if you have any to rec, please do)
- Cool/unusual/"hidden gem" places (landscapes, favorite spots in your hometown or place you've traveled to, restaurants, shops, architecture)
- Resources to learn more about film, writing, photography, interior design, art

Hiiiiiiii Sea guess who is sliding into your stocking fashionably late?! So for Assorted Reasons I could not accomplish anything by the stocking deadline (these same Assorted Reasons are why I have not been able to reply in DMs yet either!!), but I had some time tonight and could finally do some drawing, so uh, I did that instead of replying in DMs. Lol. I was thinking about EEAAO and how you said you liked AUs so I was like, I should do a screencap redraw. Then I thought, this seems like the kind of thing that would have been a LoPA prompt, so I checked, and... it IS a LoPA prompt. So if/when I finish this gets to count as a LoPA fill, too. Amazing!! Anyway, this is incomplete, and I didn't even do the courtesy of waiting a day and looking at it then to see if any glaring flaws presented themselves, so for all I know this is awful but I wanted to post something while it was still February in some time zones.





Anywho I'm going to do the hilarious (to me) thing and not even tell you of this late stocking fill, so either you will see it, or you will not and then eventually I will finish it and post it somewhere and you can see it then and be spared the pain of seeing my WIP art. I feel like I might cut off the first part of the quote and just start with "in another life"! Who knows.

All of that aside, it's been so great talking to you about everything under the sun (though also now I'm thinking about some of the things we've talked about and being like, why didn't I do a Fellow Travelers redraw LMAO) and I look forward to much more of that!! <3

HIIII, LANU! So you probably didn't expect a comment here, but I happened to see this because I wanted to make sure I thanked and replied to everyone who dropped something in my stocking. :D I've been meaning to write a comment here even though I already responded on Tumblr.

And I too am responding here instead of our DMs lol. But I have it marked as unread so I can be reminded every time I'm on Discord to get back to you!

I'm so touched by the final art (thank you again!), and I enjoyed seeing this preview even if it's after I saw the final art haha. It's fun seeing a work in progress!

I too have fun talking to you about anything and everything.<3 I'm thankful that we have our long talks! And lol a Fellow Travelers redraw would have just about killed me, but this line in EEAAO is something I hoped a Steve/Tony shipper would use to do something with because HELLO!!!! WHO ELSE EMBODIES LOVE ACROSS THE MULTIVERSE IN EVERY UNIVERSE BETTER THAN THESE TWO?! That scene is so them.<3
