Hello, fellow hoomans! Welcome to Anika’s!

Here are few things you might want to know:

🌼I write. Well, I’m trying to (complete masterlist). So far it has been for Steve Rogers, Matt Murdock, Bucky Barnes and… others (CEvans characters, dipping toes into Criminal Minds). Majority of the characters I write about are property of Marvel or DC or CBS. 

🌼 My stories, however, are mine, so please, DO NOT repost or translate them without my explicit permission.

🌼Also, I don’t take requests - sorry for that.

🌼 I'm semi-active now. Ya know, life.

🌼 Fluff is my home turf. You can find other stuff in my writings as well, but be warned. There does seem to be unholy amount of smut lately though.

🌼 Aside from majority of fics for MM, my fics are reader inserts, hopefully at least partly inclusive - I’m trying. However, they are all fem!reader.

🌼 Some of the stories I post/reblog are 18+. Due to amount of fluffy fics though, I don’t want this blog to only be available to 18+.So it’s up to you to take responsibility for the media you consume.

🌼 If you want to reach out, I’ll be happy to reply! Let’s just be kind to each other, yeah?

🌼 You matter. I hope you are kind to yourself and are on your way to have a lovely day/night!

It's always "omg how have you not grown up with [insert incredibly popular AMERICAN media]" maybe because I didn't fucking understand english at that time like I might not have known what Sesame Street was but have you ever seen Kouzelá školka? Huh? Cvrček55 ring any bells? No? Exactly. Piss off

To whomever it might concern, know that I have not had any contact with Spongebob Squarepants until I was like 12 and on a summer camp, where another dude showed me his Spongebob key decoration. And then he lied to me that the figure was actually a mummy. And I believed him, because how else could have I known??

I grew up on four TV channels and the absolute peak that is Pat a Mat, Racochejl, Asterix and Bolek i Lolek.

The first american cartoon I was exposed to was when I was in second grade and some kid figured out how to watch fucking HAPPY TREE FRIENDS on the school computer.

Grace's Gazette: Volume 01

Merely mentioning your work could not soothe my soul; thus, I, Grace, present to you a celebration of wonderful authors in the form of Grace’s Gazettes! It is my solemn duty not to deprive readers of the delight in savoring these splendid tales afresh, so I have kept my commentary most modest. In no particular order, I shall add approximately eight stories per gazette, following the sequence of my reading. I implore you, dearest reader, to shower these authors with boundless admiration and affection.

Grace’s Gazette: The First Collection

My Dearest Writers,

As I pen this letter to you, I am filled with delight at the diverse stories that have graced my reading nook. You, dear authors, have each woven worlds that lift us into realms of mystery, love, and longing. Today, allow me to celebrate the splendor of some of your offerings, each one a gem in the treasure chest of Weaving Wonderful Writers. Let us step into these tales. Shall we?

~

Dearest Niamh,

Oh, what an utterly enthralling and suspenseful tale you have spun in Memory Served! From the very first page, I was swept into the delicate tension of our heroine’s plight—awakening to a world half-remembered, tethered to a stranger by only fragments of what once was. The poignancy of her trust, her quiet hope despite her uncertainty, tugged at my heart with each choice she made in earnest faith. And how masterfully you have built this gradual unfolding of hidden memories—each one slipping through her dreams like faint whispers, urging her toward a truth yet out of reach. It is both haunting and beautifully wrought, leaving one on edge, breath held, yearning for her happiness but dreading what may yet come. Your tale is as alluring as it is mysterious, dear author, a journey that shall surely linger in my thoughts long after the last word.

~

Dearest Shannon,

Heavens above! My heart quite galloped through every sinful, electrifying moment of your tale. To have our dashing Sergeant Barnes, no less, swept up in such passion within the walls—oh, the scandal! The way you crafted each glance and touch was simply intoxicating, like a spark that sets the senses ablaze. I daresay, I found myself blushing, my own breath quickened, as though I were right there, lost in that most thrilling of encounters. The intensity between them was palpable, undeniable, each movement a dance that left one both utterly flustered and completely captivated. Bravo, dear author! You’ve penned a scene that shall certainly haunt my thoughts (and perhaps quicken my own pulse) long into the evening. To the author of this tale, I tip my hat—this was a delight!

~

Dearest Sydney,

What a heartwarming delight this has been! A father softened entirely by his daughter’s small but endearing gift—a sweater, lovingly chosen by the hands of innocence and worn by a figure known to all as fierce and untouchable. This tender tale of Bucky, our seemingly impenetrable mafia figure, warmed my very soul. How artfully you have revealed the softness beneath his hardened exterior, showing us a glimpse of the man who treasures his family more than the world itself. To see him so willingly and lovingly wearing the gifts, undeterred by anyone’s gaze, speaks volumes. I am utterly charmed by this tale, dear author, and I shall revisit it whenever I seek solace in the purity of familial love.

~

Dearest Author,

Oh, what a delightfully tender and stirring tale! The way our noble Alpha strides in, so keenly attuned to every flicker of distress, speaks to the profound connection woven between him and our dear Omega. Indeed, there is something so wonderfully captivating in witnessing his fierce determination to bring comfort, even within the confines of the office—a place hardly conducive to such soft-hearted displays. And yet, he cares not for the eyes of others, but only for the well-being of his beloved. To be swept away from the toils of the day and carried homeward, cherished and safe—my heart could not help but flutter! Such devotion, so purely shown, leaves one breathless with admiration. Truly, dear author, you have captured the very essence of a bond that resonates deeply within the heart. Your words carry a warmth that lingers, my dear, and I thank you for this touching depiction of love’s embrace.

~

Dearest Angel,

Ah, what a most chilling and evocative tale you have woven! From the very first words, I felt the shadow of apprehension clutching tightly—a remarkable rendering of that unsettling sense of being watched, whispered about but unseen by those around. Your portrayal of our dear heroine's rising paranoia was positively masterful, leaving me glancing over my own shoulder with every line! And then…dear Bucky enters, a figure both entrancing and enigmatic, his every word and gesture crafted with an alluring, almost haunting precision. As she surrendered to his undeniable charm, I found myself as captivated as she—unable to resist this man who seemed, indeed, to tread between shadow and light. How utterly sublime, this acceptance of love tempered by such exquisite danger! A work that will linger in my thoughts like a secret whispered in the dark. Bravo, dear author, for crafting such a tale of rare and intoxicating allure.

~

Dearest Sara,

This story brought forth a smile and a sigh. How wonderfully satisfying it is when hearts that secretly yearn for one another finally meet! Mantis’s unexpected reveal, spilling a secret that was never meant to escape, serves as a charming, unexpected twist. And when Bucky’s confession follows—ah, it is as if the universe finally aligns for these two. To witness their shared joy, their long-hidden affection finally brought to light, is a triumph of love over secrecy. This tale, sweet as it is stirring, left me with a warm glow that lingers even now. Thank you, dear author, for sharing this tender, joyous journey.

~

Dearest Jaqui,  

In this story, you have captured the aching loneliness of one who feels unseen despite the grand company she keeps. The reader’s quiet struggles, her pain laid bare, made me yearn for someone to notice her worth. Enter Steve, our kindest Captain, who sees her, cares for her, and quietly reveals the depths of his admiration. How I cheered when Bucky finally revealed his affections. This story, dear writer, is a singe to a yearning heart for value and worth, and to love that endures in the face of silence and solitude.

~

Dearest Jamie,

Oh, how delightful this tale is! It offers a lighthearted yet endearing look into Bucky’s foray into modern romance. His experience is the very essence of charm and humor. Watching him navigate this new world, determined yet slightly bewildered, is as heartwarming as it is amusing. Oh, what joy! To find a connection in such an unfamiliar world and feel that spark is simply enchanting. Tis a delightful and charming story! The way you captured the initial awkwardness of their date is simply adorable—those comical moments made my heart flutter! Bucky's intense beauty paired with his smug yet endearing personality creates such an enchanting dynamic between them. And that kiss! It was the perfect culmination of tension and sweetness, leaving me breathless. Your writing beautifully balances humor and romance, making their connection feel so real and relatable. This brought a smile to my face, and for that, I thank you, dear author.

~

To each of you, my sincerest thanks. Your stories have captivated, delighted, and moved me beyond measure.

And, until the next time.

Grace, Your Reverent Reader

I could never be a protagonist because I'd just never move the plot along. "You have free reign of this castle, but don't go into this one area" Okie dokie. I mind my own business and hang out in the library. Queen of staying in my own lane. I'll never discover your magic curse.

🤣🤣🤣 yeah that's accurate.

Another Halloween prompt: Steve plus arrangements

Avatar

Thank you for sending a prompt. Stella's Halloween Shenanigans 👻This one got away from me a little but I had a ton of fun!

Steve’s hand had hardly left your back the entire night. The touch had simply been there, a simple reassurance, nothing that made you feel like you were being pawed. He would never.

You’d welcomed the additional support – the grandeur of the charity gala, arranged at a beautiful historical building, had made your head swirl. The entire thing had been like something out of a movie, starting from how Steve – to you just Steve, one of the regulars at the bookshop you ran – had barged into the store yesterday and blurted out that he desperately needed a date.

I'm swooning so much at Steve being a charming bastard but also stumbling over his words a little bit, because he thinks his lady is cute and lovely and beautiful and he has every right to be nervous when asking her out and asking her out🥺

But also YOU. You know what Steve and dancing do to me😭 SWOONING HARD. Also Steve n such attire. I'd lose my step if he looked like that, looked at me like that and held me securely in his arms as he'd lead me over the dance floor... also you mentioned to me at some point how small devious innocent touches (like the hand on a lower back) just work so well for establishing attraction and conveying this 'oh I like this person so much I have trouble not showing affection' sentiment and I'm here for it🥺❤
