Big Bangs, Auction Fic and Hockey

przedApparently, I haven't posted anything here since February! So here's my official notice that I'm not dead.
I've been working on a Stucky story for the Captain America Reverse Big Bang, for which I miraculously got my first choice of art. The minimum word count is 5K. So, of course, my brain came up with a plot-heavy story that's come in just over 23K. I finished the first draft earlier this week, and made a second pass through today, so I'm in good shape for my posting date, July 26.
Then I've got two stories to write for the FTH auction, one Tony/Bucky, and one Nat/Clint/Bucky. The Tony/Bucky one should be especially fun because I was bid on by an artist whose auction I also won, so we're going to collaborate on an illustrated story.
In non-fannish news, I've apparently become a person who plays hockey three times a week in the summer. I signed up for Thursday night lessons before finding out a woman in my regular winter league was putting together a summer Sunday league for women over 45. Then my winter league decided to offer lessons on Mondays. The Sunday league finished in June, and my last Monday lesson was this week. That just leaves the Thursday lessons. Which are...challenging.
First of all, they're two hours long: an hour of drills followed by an hour of scrimmage. That is exhausting. Second, it's co-ed, which was a little terrifying at the start because the guys are way bigger than me and way faster. And I am objectively the worst player on the ice. But fortunately, the coaches and other students have all been helpful and encouraging, and it's all definitely helped me up my game.
