Bingo

[ysabetwordsmith]

I have made bingo across Row 1 of my 8-1-20 card for the Five Moments of Intimacy fest.

This inspired the free-verse poem "The Best Understanding of Their Differences." Calliope and Vagary work their way through intimacies, some awkward and others enjoyable.

I haven't posted it yet, as the prompter is still mulling over how to budget it.

Just checking in to make sure you saw that the Bottle Episode fic is underway as Turtles in a Bottle: Clint and Bucky stuck in a HYDRA installation because all the other heroes are off handling other things and Clint's been dosed with an unknown chemical so they're gonna quarantine for a couple of weeks.

It's gonna take a while (and I write slow and sporadically), but I'm enjoying where it's going, and the chance to compare the characters, who have a surprising amount of overlap. Plus, I tried to figure out a disability similar to deafness that would work for both of them (without disqualifying Bucky from joining the military), and ran across Auditory Processing Disorder. It's been kinda fun to put my linguistics background to work trying to give a version of that feel in some of the dialog.

Also, partway through the opening I threw realism out the window and went Full Hollywood. At least, for certain elements (mostly air ducts and knockouts). I usually try to be more realistic but that was getting in the way of making progress and I wanted it done sooner rather than better, so I went with it.

I've got the details worked out for all of the prompts I want to fill on the chart (to make the Turtle pattern: 14 out of the 25 prompts), it's just a matter of time. I've posted four chapters and expect it to hit at least ten, likely more.

Thanks for giving me the prompt!
