vidathomir asked:

would LOVE to know more about cupid, draw back your bow!!!

I love talking about Cupid, Draw Back Your Bow—maybe more than writing on it 😂 

Cupid, Draw Back Your Bow (title from a Sam Cooke lyric) is my #Bishova Hunger Games AU—or, rather, the first work in the projected Bishova Hunger Games AU trilogy 😳 Early last year, after my friend @the0fi enticed me to read their awesome Bishova fic Red Post-Its, I had a little bit of trouble getting Bishova off the brain, and one night I woke up with an idea of Kate and Yelena being forced to fight each other in a Hunger Games. I couldn’t get the idea out of my head, and it quickly became a 2,500+-word “prologue” setting the stage for the conflict, adapting their Hawkeye arc to that universe (Kate’s the Mayor’s daughter from Twelve, Yelena’s a Career from Two).

I posted the prologue on tumblr, and the rest, as we say, is history. I couldn’t let the idea go, I ended up writing an elevator scene (no, not that one, nor that one) and posting that, too, and writing a bunch of other bits after that, and I finally gave in and admitted that I wanted to write this and, oh, by the way, I was now writing for Bishova 😂 (Shoutout to another friend @persevereforahappyending for helping me brainstorm character mappings and plot points and who knows what else for the whole 3-book/fic trilogy 🙏)

I’ve since edited the prologue a couple of times to change some things from the tumblr version and overall have written 19K words so far…I’m guessing it’s 10% finished? I haven’t written on it in a concerted manner since last spring as I got pulled in to various fandom events and little one-shot ideas that turned out the be neither 😂 but it’s one of the WIPs I want to work on more regularly this year, so that perhaps we can read it before we’re all old and grey.

There are lots of little snippets here and there in the tag, but here’s something I don’t think has ever been revealed before:

High up in a tower showcasing the very best of District 2’s stonework, with a commanding view all the way to The Capitol, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine watched the Capitol TV production of the Reapings, the kickoff to this year’s live and tape-delayed coverage of the Hunger Games. She smiled to herself. Two hadn’t produced a winner in years, but she was certain this Games would change that. She had found the right combination of extraordinary talent and proper motivation.

A knock at the open door interrupted her thoughts. “Come.”

“Ma’am? His Excellency The Kingpin sends his regards, and he says, and I quote, ‘That girl better put on one hell of a show. She’s nothing at all like what we’ve come to expect from District 2.’”

The Contessa rolled her eyes and mumbled under her breath, “Not everyone can be a lithe, leggy blonde who looks like she was a prima ballerina from the Bolshoi.” Then, with a crooked smile and a devious glint in her eye, she raised her voice and replied, “Thank you, Aliya. Send His Excellency our thanks and inform him the people will not be disappointed in her performance. It will be a show that has been ten years in the making.”

This was fun! Thanks for the Ask and for bringing the WIP Name Game into my orbit 😀

For the wip name game

don't get tangled in your past (like i am learning not to)

Such a fun-sounding title! I bet it’s Xena (monkleya already took the clear Bishova one and I know about Most Wanted Man), but oh well 😀

vidathomir answered:

okay so you’re not going to believe this but it’s actually one of my few star wars related documents!! the title’s from a brandi carlile song (pride and joy, for those of you interested)!

i’m not sure how familiar you are with star wars, but there’s a scene in rise of skywalker where luke appears to rey and encourages her basically to not give in to her past. i started rewriting the scene so it’s leia who comes to rey instead, as i think that makes more sense (and probably only didn’t happen that way in canon because carrie fisher passed before filming was done).

here’s a brief snippet :)

The corners of Leia’s eyes crinkle. “I knew.”

Rey’s voice wavers. “How…how long?” Maybe it’s a recent development. Maybe Leia has not been keeping this agonizing secret from her. Or perhaps she only kept Rey around to ensure that if the girl became a threat, the Resistance could neutralize her before she got too dangerous.

She’s not sure which is worse.

HOPEFULLY i will get back to this soon.

"So just how many cases have you gotten so far, Kate Bishop?"

"I'll have you know that since the inaugural opening of Hawkeye Investigations, I've taken on 5 new, definitely real, definitely paid their deposits, clients."

"And how many were of cheating wives and husbands?"

"...Four... BUT! One of them was about a missing guinea pig. Yeah, that one was kinda weird."

You know, some of my favorite fics are abandoned.  And yeah, I wish they weren't  abandoned, but it doesn’t change the fact that I love them.  I certainly don’t wish they’d never been written.  Just saying, for those of us with dangling fics we guilt ourselves over.  It’s still better that you wrote what you wrote.

Bishova headcanons about gender and gender expression!


Kate never liked wearing dresses even as a child but her mother always forced her

She was always really muscular (because of sport) and tall and because of that she was treated differently than the other girl

Since she grew up in New York in privileged spaces, she never felt like she had to conform, she always felt really confident with how she presented

In high school she learns about everything lgbt+ and about gender norms and everything. She learns that she can have fun with gender expression, but she doesn’t really have friends/partners with whom she can explore all of that

In uni, she buys a binder and she discovers that some days it feels good, others it doesn’t

My hc for yelena is that she is so girlish, like she love wearing dresses and having long hair and extravagant makeup. She is longing to be the girl she couldn’t be, the one with the dog and the parties and the sister.

She has never been with anyone other than men, so when she start dating Kate, she doesn’t really know what to do.

When she finds Kate’s binders, while Kate is in the shower and she is being nosy, yelena is really confused. She doesn’t know why Kate would wear it. But Kate explain to her how she doesn’t really feel like a woman but she doesn’t feel like a man either but it feels good and yelena really listen.

They talk about it, Kate’s point of view and yelena says “I’ve never had to think about it, I have just always been a women” and she realizes it’s like everything else, something that was assigned to her, a performance.

They talk about which pronouns Kate prefers, gender identities (Kate like the terms genderfluid), nicknames, and limits. And at the end yelena teases Kate “so are you my boyfriend now?” And Kate stutters (she loves it).

Yelena presents kate as her boyfriend to a confused alexei, after a night of shenanigans he tells kate “you are good boyfriend for my yelena”

Kate loves all the new little things that they do after that discussion. Like yelena helping her with her tie and then placing her hands on her flattened chest, or yelena jokingly making them soap beards during their joined showers/bath, or helping her with her makeup when she feels like presenting more femme.

A few years into their relationship, yelena cut her hair really short. When kate see her, wearing a tank top and a baseball cap, she says “now you are the boyfriend” and yelena replies “we can both be boyfriends”
