Writing

So this is how the process goes sometimes, I was working on the Cap RBB fic:

I needed to have Bucky and Shuri have a conversation, the setting didn't really matter, just something that made sense for it to be relatively private so that Shuri can ask a sort of personal thing. So, I decided to have her work on Bucky's arm. Which leads me to think, okay, what is she doing with it? Because generalities are not that great and knowing would help with leading the conversation toward the point I wanted to make. So I tossed out that she's working to improve sensations, says something about it possibly being overwhelming at first, because the sensation in the metal hand has so far been a bit muted.

Another previously decided plot element; Steve makes and entrance, the scene in the lab is wrapped up, and they go their merry way back home. Their relationship has been established before, the story needs a vignette of happy home life.

Unsurprisingly, happy home life + increased sensation in Bucky's metal hand = now we have a handjob scene. Unplanned literally up until the moment I was writing it, but works well.

Don't you love how things come together like that? *g*

It's especially interesting when you start thinking of the mechanics of it. I know my subconscious keeps working on stuff all the time, but it's always funny when something like this happens, and you start to wonder what kind of a maze of potential plot threads your head just sorted through without any guidance from the conscious mind, juts handed out the result:D
