I did answer #14 already for musesfool this way:
14. a fic you didn’t expect to write
I’ve written so little this year that I could probably say most of it, especially the two Shuri and Bucky fics because boy howdy, didn’t see that coming at all!
But I might in this case go with lucida, obscura because I initially wasn’t sure I’d do the Cap Reverse Big Bang again, and when I did, it’s kind of a crapshoot what art you’ll end up with so you can’t really plan those things. You can sort of try for certain types of art that’ll fit with some general concepts (like, in my case, I primarily chose WWII-themed art because I really longed for a chance to do more war stories, or if you wanted mermaids or dragons, you’d pick the mermaid or dragon art), but if there aren’t enough of those, your picks will still include other topics.
And even though the art was one of the first picks I made, I had absolutely NO idea what I could write for it. Eventually, I lit on the idea of the tesseract and Zola’s serum having affected Bucky in a way that made him phase in and out of this world, that he was disappearing and not understanding what was happening because at that time, no one on their side had any idea the tesseract even existed, let alone that it wasn’t from this world and had mysterious properties (what we now know is the space gem).
It was such a fun idea to play around with, and to get inside Bucky’s head while things were happening to him. I think it’s become one of my favorite stories I’ve ever written, I think both the war story and the take on the results of Bucky’s experimentation turned out well, and despite some less than wonderful emotional things around the fic, I’m so glad that I wrote it. Thank you for asking!
