Summary
But the thing is: I don't actually hate the idea of cisswapped characters suddenly being more visibly femme? Like. One of the reasons why I love femme dudes so much (aside from, "femme stuff makes everything prettier," which is my raison d'être in all things and could really just be the title of my blog) is that one of my wibbly wobbly gendery wendery things is that I'm so much more likely to do femme stuff and present in femme ways on the days when my timey wimey gender ball is sitting more in the dude side of the court. So femme dude characters are really important to me for living vicariously gender ball related reasons.
But there are also social and cultural factors to consider with regard to characterizing dude characters in femme ways.

"I'm Jimmy Smith, a professional fighter, and former math teacher from L.A."
"I'm Doug Anderson an Iraq war veteran and rookie fighter from New Jersey."
"We're going to go around the world and study a kink for five days, and then have to do a scene with some hardcore kinksters. This is our Kink Quest." [cue music]
I've been having a lot of thoughts about 4th wall integrity in such a tiny fandom, so I must say: If you are Jimmy Smith, Doug Anderson, a relative, colleague, or acquaintance of these men, hit your back button now. Everything is 100% fiction, written with love, but you will not like what you see.

Summary
Bucky turns off the water flowing from the faucet. “Do I need to worry about you?” He doesn’t take it any further, but it’s clear what’s been left unsaid.
There are the goddamn tears again. Every time Steve thinks he’s done, his eyes just start leaking again, making his nose run and his voice go into an empty croak. “I…I don’t know.”
Bucky drops the clothes on the floor and fiercely embraces him. Another eternity passes, and Bucky whispers in Steve’s ear, “If I have to do this for the rest of the day, or the rest of the month, or however long to make sure nothing else bad happens, that’s what I’m gonna do. And this, ya know, it doesn’t change who you are. Or what you are to the world. Or what you are to me.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The unthinkable happens to Steve during a mission, and Bucky's there to ensure he doesn't have to think about anything at all until he's good and ready.

Summary
Caleb remembers the visceral collision of his palm with Fjord’s, their blood commingling in the seawater, their hands gripping each other, the calluses on Fjord’s skin, the hum that threatened Caleb’s composure, the feeling that he had lost his leverage the second they made the deal. Suddenly, all Caleb wanted was to savor the moment of touch, but more than that the moment of purpose, how their blood lit up the room, a magic more sacred than memory, a feeling that could tempt Caleb to blasphemy.
Trust is a transaction, Caleb writes again, painstakingly, so he doesn’t forget.

Summary
There’s something about watching Steve and Eddie that makes his chest ache, just a little bit. Something that feels like it’s just out of reach, like if he could just jump an inch higher he could grasp it and know what it is, have a name for it, figure out what feels like it’s missing with Max. He never felt like something was missing with Max before. She was perfect. She is perfect! Like, sure, not actually perfect, because nobody’s actually perfect, but she’s perfect for him just like he hopes he’s perfect for her, and they’re perfect together.
Maybe Lucas is overcompensating.

Freshly Remember'd: Kirk Drift by Erin Horáková

Summary
There is no other way to put this: essentially everything about Popular Consciousness Kirk is bullshit. Kirk, as received through mass culture memory and reflected in its productive imaginary (and subsequent franchise output, including the reboot movies), has little or no basis in Shatner's performance and the television show as aired. Macho, brash Kirk is a mass hallucination.

Suddenly, bony fingers are grabbing his wrist and before Taehyung can even comprehend what’s happening, Yoongi pulls him back by his wrist, spinning him around so they’re facing each other.
Taehyung’s eyes are wide, but all he can see is Yoongi’s face, surging up to his.
And then there are a pair of lips against his own.
It’s fast. So fast Taehyung can’t be one hundred percent sure that it even happened. He just stands there, dumbfounded, mouth hanging open as he watches Yoongi stand back. He had been on his tippy-toes so he could reach Taehyung.
