"The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved."
"We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery."

Fic in a Box Reveals!
2025-12-21 13:37Here's what I wrote for
ficinabox this year!
I created 5 things, including for my original assignment, a swap, and a pinch hit. This year I wrote a fic remix and tried creating some new-to-me in-universe document mediums, such as movie reviews and a list of things character is not allowed to do, all of which were fun!

A curling scroll of paper, prominently tacked up in Binky's stall, is covered with edicts written in two very different hands.

Temporary suspension of cognitive faculties. Impaired decision-making. Heightened electrochemical response to sexual stimuli. Decreased sense of inhibition. Shortened refractory period. Excessive sperm production. Lack of impulse control.
The facts were laid out in stark black and white on the mission report. Bucky couldn’t decide if it was worse to have experienced it in the field, or to have to read through this euphemistic fucking jargon.

After a run-in with sex pollen while out on a mission together, Sam and Bucky are forced to deal with the aftermath.

Eddie flopped dramatically halfway out of the bed to fish out the lube from the disaster piles of laundry and random stuff he'd left on his floor. "I have a system," he'd airily told Steve once, after Steve'd accidentally kicked over a jar of small change, guitar picks, and thumb tacks that'd been lurking under a pair of boxers. Steve wasn't a neat freak or anything, but he didn't leave landmines hidden under his dirty laundry either.
Hanging off the bed gave Steve a perfect view of his ass, though, which was why he was distracted when Eddie said, "Oh, hey, nat twenty!"
