Well, here we are in this handbasket.

[sahiya]

What the fuck, guys.

What. The. Fuck.

It's been six months since I last posted, and the world is so much worse. Or, well, it isn't worse, but my awareness of just how shitty it is has increased about ten fold, and it is fucking awful.

I have written about 1000 words total since inauguration day. I'm marching, and organizing, and doing a whole shit ton of other stuff, but I haven't been writing. And I'm tired of not writing, because writing brings me joy (so does the other stuff, but a different kind), and Donald Fucking Trump does not get to suck all the joy out of my life. So I decided to set up a hurt/comfort BINGO card for myself.

If anyone is still here and still reading and would like me to write something specific for them in exchange for a small donation to Planned Parenthood, the International Rescue Committee, Propublica or the Center for Investigative Journalism, Emily's List, or the Sierra Club or the Environmental Defense Fund (fuck, the world is awful), let me know. I'm still mostly in hockey these days, but after inauguration I fell down the rabbit hole that is Avengers fandom, where the fic is good and Captain America might have saved us from ourselves (no one said my id was subtle).

Current hockey universes that I'm happy to write in are the Shattuck-St. Mary's Kane/Toews AU and 10,000 Wars. In addition to Kane/Toews, I'll write Seguin/Benn and Sid/Geno, and also McDavid/Strome in the 10,000 Wars 'verse.

In Avengers, I will write a lot of different pairings, but especially: Steve/Tony, Steve/Tony/Bucky, Tony/Bruce, Steve/Tony/Bruce, and Steve/Natasha/Bucky. For others, just ask and I'll see if I can make it work.

ETA: If it's crossed out, it means it's been claimed.

CLAIMING HIDING AN INJURY/ILLNESS

[sahiya]

You got it!

[sahiya]

Need to Know

[dine]

ooooh, pick me!

I'd love job-related trauma in the 10,000 Wars 'verse - Kane/Toews with a side of any other listed pairing (or whatever the hell you feel like writing at the time - I just love this 'verse)

[sahiya]

I can do that!

[starlady]

No prompt because my brain is mush, but commenting to say hard same. I have written 0 words that aren't work. All I can do is edit video, and even that feels harder than it did.

[sahiya]

Yeah, it's been such a slog. I feel a little better about things than I did on inauguration day - it is going so badly for DJT, seriously - but there's just so much to think about.

Lemme know if you want a prompt later.

[elrhiarhodan]

YAY for getting back to the writing. We all need our happy places, the activities that are for pleasure alone.

If you are so interested, I would love a Steve/Tony/Bucky story with Abandonment Issues. And for that, I will make a $25 donation to Emily's List because as we all know, Early Money Is Like Yeast!

[sahiya]

Oooh yes, this is where I live when it comes to that pairing. It's yours!

[snickfic]

Or, well, it isn't worse, but my awareness of just how shitty it is has increased about ten fold, and it is fucking awful.

This is me, too. Like I do think things have actually changed for the worse, but also I am now finally paying attention to what they were already like. :\

If you are up to it, I would like to request Sid/Geno food poisoning. I'll probably drop some money to Pro Publica unless you have another charity on that list you'd especially like money going towards.

[sahiya]

Yes, I guess before January 20, my friends' synagogues weren't getting tagged with Holocaust denial graffiti. It has gotten worse.

Pro Publica is awesome. It's yours!

Still here, still reading and also horrified at the current direction of the political climate... I'm trying to help refugees and homeless people in what small ways I can, but it's hard not to feel discouraged when things are going so wrong on a global scale. Still, I do believe that everything we can do to help a single person makes all the difference, even if it's just providing them with good food for a day.

/ramble

Oooh, do you write Steve/Bucky, too? Because touch-starved would be so excellent for those two.

If you don't care for the pairing, I would also be ridiculously happy with Kane/Toews and telepathic trauma.

[sahiya]

I will try for the Steve/Bucky touch-starved prompt for you!

[sahiya]

And it's up! http://archiveofourown.org/works/11816445

[marieke]

I will take insomnia for $100, Alex. Kane/Toews or Yuuri/Viktor from YoI (because I am trash).

Chances are high that I will be making a contribution to Kim Weaver (running against Steve King in IA-4) and/or Kathie Allen (running against Jason Chaffetz in Utah) by the end of the week.

[sahiya]

I'll see what I can do! I'm inclined toward Kane/Toews.

Either of those is great, but you know how I feel about That Weasel Chaffetz (apologies to weasels).

[alafaye]

Steve/Tony/Bucky, headaches/migraine, please and thanks?

:D

[sahiya]

You got it!

ETA: Which organization are you giving to?

[fearlesssisters.livejournal.com]

Can I claim cuddling? Kane/Towes in either Shattuck-St Mary's or 10,000 Wars? I adore both of those series. I'll donate in Mike Pence's honor ;)

[sahiya]

PERFECT. Bwahahaha.

And yes, you got it - Kane/Toews cuddling.

[adamsgirl42]

Can I claim estrangement? Connor/Dylan

[sahiya]

Someone else actually just grabbed Connor/Dylan estrangement. Want a different prompt?

[agloryofunicorns]

(I'm wildfoot over on AO3!)

I totally understand the feeling of being stuck, with regards writing. It's been rough. This is a nice idea, though, and I'd love to claim fever/delirium for Kane/Toews in 10,000 Wars!

My donation will be to Clean Ocean Action, which does a lot of environmental work in my state, in honor (ugh) of 45's roll-back of environmental regulations.

[sahiya]

Perfect, that sounds great!

[via_ostiense]

Steve/Tony, comfort food

[via_ostiense]

For preference in a world where Steve is potus, or copperbadge's Leader of the Free World verse, but anything that tickles your muse is welcome.

[essouffle]

Love your fic! Looks like you might still have a few squares open... I'll take Kane/Toews for 'allergic reaction' (or any other open square, I'm not picky about the prompt and I'm sure I'll like whatever you write)

I'll probably be donating to the Environmental Defense Fund just because I've been watching a lot of Planet Earth/The Blue Planet lately.

[sahiya]

Sounds great! Just send me an email at sahiya AT gmail DOT com with the donation details (anything you don't want me to see blacked out, of course). I'm glad someone grabbed that square, it let's me complete several rows!

[brandt_ethan9]

Hey! This is a wonderful idea, and I'm not just saying that because I adore your writing ; )
Any chance Major illness/injury is still available, and if so can I request it with Tony Stark/Stephen Strange(I know it's not one of the character matches you listed, so if it doesn't work Tony/Bruce is also fantastic, but Stephen Strange is pretty much all that's keeping me sane right now, so I thought I'd at least ask). I will be donating to the EDF and Planned Parenthood, just cause, well, babies and clean air they need to breath (yeah, the world is a bit effed up).

[sahiya]

It's yours! Not sure about Strange, as I haven't seen that movie. I might watch it and decide afterward if that's ok.

Can you send proof of donation (with any info you don't want me to see blacked out) to sahiya AT gmail DOT com?

[spinel]

Can I claim washing/bathing? I'll take either Sid/Geno or Tony/Steve or Tony/Rhodey (as friends, if you don't do lovers). I'm donating to Planned Parenthood as we speak.

[sahiya]

You got it! Can you send proof of donation (with any info you don't want me to see blacked out) to sahiya AT gmail DOT com?

[sheron]

Hey, I think my comment was back on LJ and got nuked in the move. I don't remember if I promised to donate to anything BUT that said I'm definitely donating anyway. I was planning on giving to ACLU ...is that something that works for you? I'm going to check out Planned Parenthood to see if they accept my methods of payment too. :-)

Thank you SO much for the story. I actually really needed a pick me up today, and that was amazing. I literally squeed aloud when I saw the story <3

[sahiya]

ACLU works great for me!

So glad that it was the pick-me-up you needed. I really enjoyed writing it!
