99% OF NEW YEAR, SAME HABIT MAKES MY CHEST ACHE FOR LOKI AND SIG, BUT THE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS ANGST SENDS THAT LAST 1% ROCKETING UP INTO A DREAMY, ZERO GRAVITY BLISS. WRITING MY LOKI AND SIG INTO EXISTENCE IN THE HERE AND NOW OF NEW YEAR– A HERE AND NOW WHEREIN I WATCH HIM LOSE HIS “FOREVER DREAM GIRL” -SETS AN IMPOSSIBLY HEAVY, SUFFOCATING WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS DURING THAT 99%.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, I WOULD NEVER MAKE IT THROUGH THE PAIN WITHOUT A BIT OF LAUGHTER ALONG THE WAY. SO, I ADD LAUGHS WHEN I CAN, AND NOT ONLY IN THE WORDS THEMSELVES, BUT ALSO IN “SCREENSHOTS” OF THE CHARACTERS’ FICTIONAL SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS. THANK YOU, PHOTOSHOP, FOR HELPING ME CREATE THESE RIDICULOUS “WORKS OF ART”…
REMINDER: NEW YEAR, SAME HABIT IS A RATED M NOVEL, AND AS SUCH, SOME OF THE FOLLOWING “TWEETS” AND “INSTAGRAM POSTS” CONTAIN LANGUAGE INAPPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG READERS.
NEW YEAR, SAME HABIT TWITTER CONVERSATION from Chapter two:
Just read it straight through and DAMN. Does he f*** as deep as he writes? 
DARCY. Omg you didn’t untag them 
WHAT DID I EVER DO TO YOU? 
Doll. What even. 
Your woman needs professional help, JB. 
So many snowflakes in this chat. Bucky is the only man I’m THIRSTY for. #bigbrooklynboy 
Uh, almost fell onto the train tracks at Franlin ave. Put down your phone, doll. Later, guys.

Text conversation between self-proclaimed “Brooklyn Boy” James Barnes and Loki “Manhattan elitist” Odinson in Chapter 8:
LIKE I SAID, 99% OF NEW YEAR MAKES MY HEART FEEL LIKE IT’S SPLITTING IN HALF. ONE SIDE BELONGS TO LOKI, AND OTHER IS IN SIG’S HANDS.
I AM HEAVY WITH “COULD HAVE BEENS” THAT POUR FROM WINTER STORMS OVER THEIR BELOVED MANHATTAN, BUT THEN SUNLIGHT FINDS ME, BREAKING THROUGH THE COLD JANUARY RAIN CLOUDS AND MAKES ME LIGHT AS AIR IN THAT LAST 1%.
AND IF WRITING NEW YEAR, SAME HABIT HAS TAUGHT ME ANYTHING, IT IS THIS:
LOVE WINS.
