Okay guys in light of recent events I wanted to do a rec list of my fave Jewish!Bucky fics! Most of these (all of them?) are Steve/Bucky because, well, that’s the corner of the fandom I’m in. I also limited it to works where Bucky’s religion wasn’t just a passing mention but was explored in some depth. If you have some faves I didn’t put on here, toss ‘em my way!
myownremedy. This is the first fic I thought of when I thought about this rec list. It is amazing. It’s Bucky recovering and coming to terms with what happened to him and what he was forced to do and reconciling that with his faith and it is beautiful. I read it over a year ago and I still think about it. Also features Jewish!Bruce and Muslim!Natasha!
Ain’t No Grave by @spitandvinegar. You knew it was going to be on here. Don’t even try to act surprised. If someday I may a rec list that this fic isn’t on, it’s either a really niche rec list or I’m trying to send out some kind of distress signal.
King’s County by @hansbekhart. It’s a series! Two completed works so far, both beautiful and long and exploring Bucky’s relationship with his faith and his family and Steve and the war plus what his family goes through during the war. (Actually I’m pretty sure hansbekhart writes Jewish!Bucky in all fic, and trust me when I say it’s not exactly going to be a hardship if you read all of them.)
Scappodaqui, @samtalksfunny on tumblr. Beautiful and heartbreaking look at Bucky’s family, especially his mother, grieving after his “death”. Packs such a big emotional punch.
Lasgalendil. This one’s a wip, Falsworth POV! It’s while the Commandos + 107th are being held in the HYDRA factory. Bucky does what he has to so he can keep the men safe, even when it’s awful and unsavory. It’s also one of those cool fics where half the story is in the reviews and discussion about a book Monty wrote about the war after it was over.
conjurewithrisk. Really haunting look at Bucky trying to remember who he is and what he believes in. Now with a bonus Jewish!Steve companion!
I’m gonna go ahead and reblog this again. I haven’t been reading a ton of fic as of late, otherwise I would update this list with new additions, but if anyone else has any add them on!
I know we don’t get happily ever afters in real life. I’m a hopeless romantic, not a total fucking idiot. As my friend, Russell, said to me once, “Even with the happiest couples, one of you dies first.” But first there is such unalloyed joy.
We went to the supermarket yesterday and we were wandering around and,
at one point, he took my hand, because that’s the kind of thing he does. And instantly, I got flustered. Residual anxiety. Remembrance of past battery. Enduring scars. Even though I know I’m hardly likely to get my head kicked in by the salad bar, PDAs can still make me nervous. And then he said, gentle as anything, and I’m not going to do the accent…
“If there’s a gay kid in here with his folks, frightened that he’s a freak, don’t you think that it might give him hope, seeing two guys wandering around, being themselves, getting their groceries, like everyone else?” If happiness is a place… it’s the biscuit aisle in Sainsbury’s. And anywhere else I am with him.
Think black tea makes you feel good? You’re right. It’s been proven to help you de-stress fast. It also helps eliminate bad breath. Plus medical research indicates that it lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and reduces bad cholesterol.
Green tea
Want to stay slim, trim and beautiful? The antioxidants in green tea just might slow signs of aging, prevent the flu and raise your metabolism. More dramatically, it’s being shown to prevent and slow cancer, and help with arthritis and bad cholesterol too.
Oolong tea
This one’s known as a fat-buster in China, and science is indicating that it does indeed speed up your metabolism, burn fat and block fat absorption! Use it to fight expanding waistlines, high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.
White tea
Science is saying that white tea might be more effective than even green tea at preventing cell damage, shrinking cancerous tumours and stopping the growth of cancer cells. Plus it’s becoming the new cosmetic fix for aging skin. Beautiful!
Pu’erh tea
Traditional Chinese medicine prizes Pu’erh as a wonder tea. It’s said to aid digestion, cleanse the blood and help with weight loss. Studies in Europe are also saying it busts cholesterol as effectively as some medications.
Rooibos tea
It’s said that rooibos helps you recover from hangovers, and that it could slow dementia. Plus there’s evidence that it fights skin cancer and boosts the immune system. And it’s supposed to help with insomnia!
Yerba tea
Yerba mate is a fabulous stimulant, without the jitters. It’s also full of antioxidants, so there’s scientific speculation that it could have anti-cancer properties, help stimulate the immune system and protect against disease.
Herbal tea
Herbs, spices, fruits and flowers have long been used in traditional medicine to cure everything from headaches, stomach bugs and colds to stress and insomnia. The power of the tea depends on its ingredients.
Our Lemon Bliss Bundt Cake is a lovely golden lemon cake, extra-moist and nicely tangy due to its fresh lemon juice glaze. Baking this cake in a Bundt pan turns it from everyday to special-occasion, perfect for everything from birthday parties to an elegant dinner. Our thanks to Maida Heatter, grande dame of delicious desserts, for the inspiration behind this recipe.
King Arthur Flour Bundt® Cake Guide Copy & paste URL into a new tab:
The Bundt pan, first sold by Minnesota’s Nordic Ware company over 60 years ago, generated a whole new type of cake: elegant yet easy, simple yet striking. Iced, showered with sugar, drizzled with glaze, or simply left plain to showcase its graceful shape, the Bundt cake is an all-American classic.
Before you begin
First, check your recipe size A typical cake recipe calls for a 9" x 13" pan, two 9" rounds, three 8" rounds, or 2 dozen cupcakes. This size recipe makes about 6 cups of batter, and will fit in most Bundt pans.
Next, check your pan’s capacity You might have a 10-cup Bundt pan, or a 12-cup, or something in between. Bundt pans can vary in width and depth, too. Rather than try to match volume to dimensions to capacity, simply measure your pan’s bakeable capacity by pouring water to within 1&1/ 4" of the top rim. Measure the water; this is your pan’s true baking capacity.
Finally, match recipe to pan
• 10-cup Bundt pan A typical cake recipe — one calling for a 9" x 13" pan, two 9" round pans, or three 8" round pans — will fit in a 10-cup bundt pan, which has a bakeable capacity of about 6 cups. Fill the pan to within about 1&1/ 4" of the top rim.
• A smaller pan If you’re making a typical cake recipe in a smaller Bundt pan, one whose bakeable capacity is less than 6 cups, you’ll have excess batter. Again, only fill the pan to within about 1&1/ 4" of the top rim; use any leftover batter to make cupcakes.
• A larger pan If you’re making a typical cake recipe in a larger Bundt pan, the finished cake will be smaller, though still retain its pretty design. The cake may take slightly less time to bake; start checking 15 minutes before the end of the minimum baking time.
has gotten a lot of flack, and I don’t disagree that it could and should have been handled a lot better, but even as it is, I really really like what it says, or rather, confirms about
Bucky.
