New fic: Just Passing Through

[gwyn]

There's still a few hours left in the day for my annual birthday tradition of posting fic. It's been a crazy busy day with lots of my favorite people and so I had to fit working on this in. I've come to really love the Into a Bar (intoabar) crossover challenge, and this year when I signed up, Schitt's Creek was one of the fandoms I listed for Bucky Barnes to cross over with, but I got assigned a different one. So I hung on to this idea and figured I'd write it for today.

Summary:

“No—I don’t—no. Shut up. He’s not from around here and he is clearly homeless.” Now was so not the time for Patrick to give him shit. Read the room.

“Oh. Like you were homeless once, you mean.” His smile was so condescending.

Also, I got the best damn presents today, one of which was a The Professionals story by belmanoir, who I've been watching Pros eps online with for a while. It's absolutely adorable and I love it so, so much. SO GOOD.

Belated happy birthday, sugar!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! Yes, I'm a day late probably, but time is mutable and this year is canceled and the only thing that is relevant is HAPPY BIRTHDAY, so there. I hope you had a good one, though I know the date is a tough one for you. <3

It turned out to be pretty good--I had a number of drop-bys and we socially distanced on the front porch for a bit, plus online connections. Funny that it might be the most social and busy birthday I've had in a long time!

[marycrawford]

Aah that's good to hear, and I'm glad!

I KNOW RIGHT? There is something about the two of them being right by the bedsides or bringing them in to hospital in tears that just kills me in the "amost get killed" episodes. It's so operatic and divine.

Yesss! My absolute favorite trope in this vein is when the injured person wakes up and the other person is sleeping in a chair in their hospital room. SO GOOD EVERY SINGLE TIME!!
