Kari Writes

im-so-witte asked: Hey honey, LOVE the fic, as always. You are a fabulous writer and the story is a ton of fun. I don't know if anyone has said anything yet, but it's just a little thing I want to correct: your use of the term Ten Year when talking about Bruce. It's actually TENURE, and it's a status gained, not a time contract kind of thing. A tenured teacher has benefits a non-tenured one doesn't, and it doesn't really get "renewed." A very VERY common mistake, one made by most anyone that's not a teacher. :)

Omg I said it as Ten Year cause that’s how my teacher spelled it once in college. (A geology teacher, granted, but still). Thanks for correcting me!

capsicle---america asked: Dear Kari, you are my hero and your writing is flawless. I have only just started your AU Friends/Avengers fics, but dear lord, you are amazing for writing these and combining two of my favorite things in the world!

:D I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far! 

chocolateandcheeseburgers asked: Hey! I had a quick suggestion for you Friends!AU, whenever you get to a part you might not have planned out yet. Since there are probably going to be some changes in living arrangements soon (and Steve did say "whatever we turn the other bedroom into"), maybe some of the characters could try a painting/decorating project together. Especially if it's Steve and Tony, because that would probably be funnier :) Just a thought!

Painting and intense interior decorating isn’t actually something you can do much in apartments, since apartments tend to be leased or rented rather than owned. However there might be an argument about that guest bedroom, but it won’t necessarily be a huge issue.

“Let’s get away,” Tony says.

And that’s how it starts on a typical Wednesday in a typical week. It’s not even nine in the morning when he says it, and he’s hanging off of Steve as he does every morning before (and sometimes after) he’s had his coffee. Steve’s trying, and somehow magically succeeding, to make pancakes with very little trouble despite the way Tony is leeched onto his back. “Away where?” he asks when Tony presses his face between his shoulder blades and lets out a muffled yawn. “Anywhere?”

If all the world was quiet then there would be no way of knowing it. No one would be around to hear the stillness, the unnerving calm of it all. And if it was merely the soft lull before the storm then the it would be all the more unsettling. The dip in the sky that exists between open blue and roiling clouds is more of a terror than a beautiful thing to be admired. It’s the space between a warm, peaceful day and a destructive torrent. Above it all, however, is the silence.

Thor hasn’t spoken for days.

“Say it again,” Tony whispers, and Steve laughs against his skin, just over his heart. It never gets old, Tony thinks as he watches Steve take his face in his hands. His eyes fluttering closed as their breath mingles together between them in the milliseconds before Steve kisses him, the weight of his body heavy and sound over Tony’s own.

There’s one conversation that happens at least once a month between Bruce, Natasha, and Clint, and it goes a little something like this.

“Why don’t you just move in with us?” Bruce asks.

“You spend the night here three or four days a week anyways,” Natasha adds.

As usual, however, Clint’s reply is a steadfast, “No.”

chickenhax asked: -cough- If you've got time, maybe some possessive!Steve drabble? <3

I really wish I did have time, but at the moment you guys are going to be lucky if I get more than one chapter of the Friends!AU out this week (since I’m house sitting and these dogs literally need every moment of my attention. I’ve never seen anything so spoiled in my life. *eye roll*) Maybe some other time though. :)

scarsalwaysfade asked: Ah are you gonna do a follow up to the sam and freddie fight about the pear store? it was amazing!

Probably not. When I do write Seddie fic it’s ALWAYS a standalone oneshot, so … .

iPear Store spoilers ahoy. Also, ha, I never said this was going to be a fluffy fic, did I? I WARNED YOU!
