I Come Bearing Gifts (My Gifts, That Is)

These past weeks I signed up for several exchanges in a burst of (over?)confidence, two of which revealed last week, so now here I am to show off my amazing good fortune because I definitely won the exchange jackpot:

For raremaleslashex I received:
- When the Chips Are Down (TFatWS, Bucky/Zemo) where Bucky encounters Zemo on a mission and they have to kiss to distract the bad guys
- FANART of Plunkett and Macleane (from the movie of the same name) playing strip poker

For rarepairexchange I received:
don't need no dollar bills (GI Joe: Retaliation, Flint/Storm Shadow) where Flint encounters Storm Shadow on a mission and they have to pretend to be boyfriends to distract the bad guys

... there might be a theme here?

Both CinemaSins and Honest Trailers posted videos for G.I. Joe: Retaliation recently, which felt like an amazing coincidence until one of them revealed at the end that there's apparently a new G.I. Joe movie out that's all about Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, so ... guess I'll add that to my To Watch list.

Also: the fandom for Aliette de Bodard's Obsidian & Blood trilogy celebrated its semi-official one-year anniversary with more fic!
