Summary
The first summer Maria spent with her grandparents at the dacha, the Soldier taught her how to bite people, hard, like she means it. But what does he teach her the second summer she spends with her grandparents at the dacha?
(Or: A glimpse of sweet, sweet summertime, set a year and a half prior to Mouse Song. This was supposed to be fluffy humor. That didn’t last long. So, despite appearances, everything is still, naturally, horrible.)

Summary
The future will not build itself. Someone has to take hold of the present and shape it, block by block, into what will be needed in the years to come. If some of those building blocks are people, are family, well, that has never stopped the General. He has a future to build, after all.
(Or: Part one of the origin story of Vasily Karpov, the General’s grandson, from little minnow, to junior handler, to the Soldier’s keeper. Naturally, everything is horrible.)

Summary
The storm is still two hours off according to JARVIS, but at this point, the team can’t communicate clearly over the roaring wind and they run the risk of injuring themselves or getting themselves killed if they can’t coordinate their rescue efforts. They’ll go back to the Tower, dry off, eat a hearty meal, and rest until the storm passes and they can resume their efforts.
Steve wonders how things have been for Clint, trying to manage Kate’s desire to launch herself into the storm with her teeth bared on the one hand and Jigsaw’s renewed fame in the midst of the evacuated crowds on the second and third floors on the other hand.
It’s an interesting time to be an Avenger, but when hasn’t that been the case?
(Or: The one where Hurricane Sandy is in full swing, Thor returns, and Jigsaw must face the consequences of having been recognized as Bucky. The therapy continues, the relationships heat up, and the found family grows. A direct sequel to Stitch Me Up.)

Ain't No Dungeon Deep Enough (to keep me from gettin' to you, babe) by FlamingoQueen

Summary
Five years after the demon’s defeat, odd things are happening throughout Melini—magical barriers cast to keep fleeing monsters out of towns and villages are failing, monsters are appearing where they shouldn’t be, and magic users—including Mithrun—are falling ill with a mysterious mana sickness.
Are these things related? And worse, are they a sign that the dungeon is becoming active again, despite Laios’s curse and the demon’s defeat?
Mithrun and his squad of former Canaries must investigate, but when they suddenly stop communicating by fairy, it’s up to Kabru and his motley crew to come to the rescue.
(Or: A recently recovered Mithrun and his team disappear in the dungeon trying to solve a mana-related mystery. Can Kabru conquer his fears and save the day?)

Summary
“Someone,” Strange says, “is selling cryptid components.” He pauses, and Sam could swear he’s looking at Bucky. “And making a killing doing it. Literally.”
“Cryptid components?” Natasha asks, leaning forward. “What are those in the context of this mission?”
Strange shifts his eyes from Bucky to Natasha. “Nascent fishkin scales—” he starts.
“Fishstick what, now?” Stark interrupts.
“You would know them as merfolk,” Strange continues, “vampire teeth, chupacabras claws, cockatrice spurs, phoenix feathers, sasquatch fur.” He makes a dismissive motion with one hand. “The list is long and the specifics are immaterial.”
(Or: Bucky and Sam go undercover as a married couple on a mission to break up a poaching ring that’s attacking cryptids. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the magical community and explore their human-selkie relationship… but can they stand (and protect) their neighbors?)

A Hazy Shade of Winter by FlamingoQueen
Fandom Captain America (Movies), Captain America - All Media Types, Marvel Cinematic Universe
27 Jun 2026
Summary
This series started out as a place to stash prequel ficlets that were intended to be brief flashbacks/asides in a sprawling, unposted, in-progress Bucky recovery fic. But then the recovery fic's backstory got overly complicated and grew a narrative of its own. I cut the narrative off, but two more took its place. Go figure.
(And the ficlets... all turned out to be stories. Again, go figure.)
There are definitely tie-in/continuation shenanigans throughout this series, and the individual stories will be referenced by the aforementioned WIP, but each story of the series should largely be readable on its own. Pieces will be posted as they are polished up, probably out of chronological order. Each one will have at least one timestamp inside, though, and often several.

Blue-Eyed Matador (the series) by FlamingoQueen
Fandom Captain America (Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
26 Jun 2026
Summary
What started as a 10-20 chapter outline has become over 200 chapters worth of content, and no one is surprised, haha!
This series starts out with the Asset escaping HYDRA's clutches in 2012 during the Chitauri attack on New York, includes his murder revenge tour against HYDRA across the country, his eventual capture and rehabilitation by the Avengers, and many adventures in therapy and recovery beyond that. Plus, Winterhawk (that's Clint/Bucky) slow burn that lasts hundreds of chapters as they circle each other and fall in love. Observe as villains die brutally on the page and civilians and bystanders occasionally become close friends of the cast and cast members themselves.
There's some HYDRA Trash Party tropes in here that can get pretty dark, but everything should be tagged appropriately per chapter in the end notes. And since it's a revenge tour + recovery journey, most of the HYDRA Trash Party stuff is either referenced only or is firmly in the past. We're moving forward (slowly) not backward, here. ^_^

Summary
This is the series that comes after A Hazy Shade of Winter. At first, it'll be just little standalone ficlets that go after the fall of the helicarriers, etc., but eventually I will also have the actual plotted recovery story in many parts.
It's probably going to make more sense if you're passingly familiar with the prequel stories, but that's not necessarily required to understand this bit. ^_^

[Podfic] Revenge (best served screaming) by notearchiver for FlamingoQueen
Fandoms: Captain America (Movies), Venom (Marvel Movies)
23 Jul 2024
Tags
Summary
So it was a bad idea to hitch a ride on that particular comet hurtling toward this particular planet with its particularly inhospitable atmosphere of literal hellfire. So sue them. No one handed Venom a map or anything when they said “go forth and conquer.”
So he was briefed with a map and a mission to gut a lab full of researchers poking sticks at something the handlers want in on. That doesn’t make this his fault. Does make it his problem, though, that no one told the Winter Soldier to watch out for possessed rabbits.
(Or: Winter Soldier, meet Venom, your new extraterrestrial life partner. Enjoy that, pal.)

Summary
This is a gift for FlamingoQueen who has written an amazing Winterhawk Fic called Blue Eyed Matador with a sequel called Stitch Me Up. This particular drawing is fanart of Jigsaw aka Bucky at Therapy sometime in the future and no particular scene.
FlamingoQueen, you have no idea how much I enjoy this series. I was inspired after the first installment but the second one really is what made me want to finish this, I'm so impressed with your style! Thank you so much for these wonderful stories.

Summary
Ok I finally figured out how to properly add a playlist on here.
(Also I got really excited about this morning's update to Blue-Eyed Matador so. Here you go.)
Songs that make me wanna stab something and/or felt appropriate for this fic. (It's really great for working out, tbh. Just think about getting hyped to murder HYDRA agents.)
These are in no particular order, feel free to shuffle to your heart's content.
I may add one or two new ones in the future. If you have suggestions for other tracks for this amazing epic story of a fic, please leave them in the comments!
Hope you enjoy!

Summary
There is a man with a halo of blond hair and a very soft voice and very tidy hands. He is here to rescue you.
The man says: "I can’t believe they would just leave you here like this, subject. This is terrible. A terrible oversight."
