I’m my research around the Norse pagan sphere I’ve learned some things about runes that I didn’t know before. Here are the three main rune types there are are far more.

Youger Futhark - 8th~12th Century

The names of the 16 runes of the Younger futhark are recorded in the Icelandic and Norwegian rune poems. The names are:

ᚠ fé ("wealth")

ᚢ úr ("iron"/"rain")

ᚦ Thurs ("thurs", a type of entity, see jötunn)

ᚬ As/Oss ("(a) god")

ᚱ reið ("ride")

ᚴ kaun ("ulcer")

ᚼ hagall ("hail")

ᚾ/ᚿ nauðr ("need")

ᛁ ísa/íss ("ice")

ᛅ/ᛆ ár ("plenty")

ᛋ/ᛌ sól ("Sun", personified as a deity—see Sól (Germanic mythology))

ᛏ/ᛐ Týr ("Týr, a deity")

ᛒ björk/bjarkan/bjarken ("birch")

ᛘ maðr ("man, human")

ᛚ lögr ("sea")

ᛦ yr ("yew")

From comparison with Anglo-Saxon and Gothic letter names, most of these names directly continue the names of the Elder Futhark runes. The exceptions to this are:

• yr which continues the name of the unrelated Eihwaz rune;

• thurs and kaun, in which cases the Old Norse, Anglo-Saxon and Gothic traditions diverge.

@pepperpxtts​ plotted for smothing mean

     Hearing the news about Tony Stark’s death surely brightened Quentin’s day while almost everyone else on this planet mourned. Mr Stark and him hadn’t exactly parted on good terms. Not only had he took everything from him that once had been important to him, he also claimed it to be Quentin’s own fault - that he was ‘unstable’. As if an narcissistic alcoholic could have been the judge of that. 

     Since then it had become Quentin’s goal in life to show Stark how psychotic he really could be and even though he wouldn’t be able to witness Quentin’s plan to become reality now, Quentin would joyfully unleash hell, once he got access to Stark Industries’ database again. 

     Luckily he just had the perfect connection for that. All he needed to do was to stir up old embers wirth one of the things Stark took from him 

               - his old flame Pepper Potts. 

      What occasion would fit better for that, if not the funeral of the very man he was about to spite with this. It wasn’t too hard to get into there. Dressed all in black, he perfectly fit under all the other guests that consisted out of a bunch of heros and faces he had never seen before, as well as a very few shadows of his past at Stark Industries. The later, Quentin ditched as far as possible to not be noticed in any negative way by those. 

      The ceremony itself was really touching, even though Quentin struggled to not burst out into laughter or pull a disgusted face at some of the well meant anecdotes. He managed to at least kept up a neutral expression and saved his first class acting skills for the very moment he stepped in front of the red head he used to know a little better than just friends. 

               Now, it felt like they were strangers. 

      “Pepper. How are you holding up?”, he started when it was his turn to pay his condolences, but he had no such thing to give her. He didn’t felt sorry for Tony's death. All he could believable mimic were worries about her well being, showing that he still cared for her.

You Set My Heart on Fire

Rating: Teen Words: 34.6k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Alternate careers AU; Painters; Soulmates AU; Anxiety ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Everyone has a soulmate. And everyone sees any marks on their soulmate's skin appear on their own body; it starts with the first marks, drawn on by the midwife at birth. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a soulmate who replies, but Yuuri does, and he knows that he should feel fortunate - however, when he's trying to make a living as a small-time painter, and his soulmate is the famous artist, Viktor Nikiforov... well, it seems slightly less than fortunate. Yuuri can't help but feel self-conscious. So self-conscious, in fact, that he's never even shown Viktor his face, never let Viktor hear his voice. The only way that they've spoken is through ink, writing message after message to each other on their skin - but that's all about to change. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: This soulmate fic takes place in an alternate universe where Yuuri and Viktor are painters. They have been communicating with each other since Yuuri's birth by writing to one another on their skin. Yuuri is an extremely anxious and very sensitive in this AU, nervous to let himself be known to many people, including Viktor. Eventually, at 24, he works up the nerve to call Viktor on the phone and soon gets wrangled into a painting competition with Yuri using Viktor's body as the canvas. This is a story about Yuuri slowly becoming more confident and bold in both his relationship with Viktor and with his art. A big setback occurs which results in Yuuri withdrawing from Viktor, but gradually they work their way back and further beyond. They learn to work with each other's opposing personalities to strengthen and improve themselves and their relationship. This is a delightful fic with a really sweet ending.

Kintsugi

Rating: Explicit Words: 114.1k Status: Work In Progress Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Mafia AU; Enemies to lovers; Angst; Slow burn ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Yuuri Katsuki is a hitman burdened with a debt he can never repay. His target: Viktor Nikiforov, next Pakhan to one of the most dangerous families in the Russian mafia. When the two are drawn into a treacherous alliance after a mission gone wrong, the bonds of love and loyalty to family and duty begin to unravel—even as they get more tangled up in each other. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: I'm normally not much for mafia AUs. I don't enjoy stories with main characters that are genuinely despicable, assholish, or psychotic, and I like it even less when my favorite characters are changed and portrayed that way. What works with Kitsugi is witchbane's talented, careful handling of the characters, more broken and hardened from their experiences, but still likeable and similar to their canon counterparts. Yuuri is turned into an efficient and capable killer in order to pay off a debt, but he hates what he does, feeling guilty about several of his actions, but is determined to see it through because he desires to finally go back home to his family and earn his freedom. Victor is colder and more ruthless, but does so out of loyalty and care for Yakov and others in the mafia family, and he values loyalty in others. He's an asshole to Yuuri at first, being a for-hire hitman and outsider, but comes to genuinely care for him, respecting Yuuri's desire to not be forced into sex, worrying over him when he gets injured, and trusting him with secrets. They are slowly forging a loving bond in harsh, cruel conditions, and it will be interesting to see where the story goes from there considering how much Yuuri is hiding from Victor. The story is realistic, gritty, and angsty, doesn't glorify or romanticize the lifestyle, and still maintains sympathetic characters. It makes for a fascinating fic, and I really appreciate what witchbane has done with it.

Equivalent Exchange

Rating: Mature Words: 129.6k Status: Work In Progress Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Fantasy AU; Royalty AU; Politics; Magic; Hurt/comfort ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Without the Katsuki line to protect and maintain the laws of magic, Great Mages have become so few and far between that many believe the age of magic is coming to an end. However, when he comes across a young man weaving tales with figures of fire, Viktor begins to wonder if magic is truly dead, or if it lives on in the body of the storyteller with warm brown eyes. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: This fic is absolutely amazing. Hands down one of the best royalty, political thriller fanfics for YOI, with everyone being a competent badass in their own special way. Dessa takes great care at carefully developing the plot and characters, never sacrificing one for the other. The beginning of the fic sets the stage for Viktor and Yuuri's relationship, both ommitting key facts about themselves, but still able to create a connection. Viktor is a king who just wants a break from the ever-constant responsibility and to connect with someone who just sees him as Viktor. Yuuri is a mage who pretends to not be one, and becomes attached to this man who seems to have a target painted on his back. The beginning is mostly light-hearted, with hints of the trouble to come. The Nikiforovs have a powerful, magical enemy that is determined to destroy their dynasty, and Yuuri becomes the only possible person to combat these attacks. The plot is gradual to work its way in, but once it does it hits in full force, and the topics tackled are heavy - regicide, mass murders, discrimination, duty/sacrifice. The story approaches the conflicts and politics in a realistic manner - everybody has to sacrifice something for the greater good. As much as some of Viktor's advisors would like to play the part of Viktor's friend and trust his faith in Yuuri, they must remain skeptical and wary. As much as Yuuri would just like to run away and hide who he is, he is the only force powerful enough to protect Viktor and change the course of the battle. As much as Viktor would like to be more familiar around Yuuri, he must maintain a certain distance. Dessa utilizes multiple POVs so that you understand the motivations behind each of the main characters. Everyone is so well-rounded. I love it how in one chapter I can be so frustrated with the actions of one character, and in the next I'm sympathizing with their plight and reasons behind their actions. And it's not just one character, it's multiple. They all make frustrating mistakes, but they all also learn and grow from these mistakes. Their inner thoughts and interactions with one another builds the careful framework that this story thrives on. Wow, I really really really can't wait to see how this fic is resolved - this is the story I most eagerly anticipate updates for.

Wynn (@astreetcarnamedwynn)

Wynn is so great with balancing the dynamics between Yuuri, Victor, and Yuri. Normally I don't care for Yuri taking away focus from Yuuri and Victor, but I love how she weaves him into her fics. She is perhaps one of the few authors that I will gladly read Yuri's POV and interactions with Yuuri and Victor.

Sixty Impossible Things

Rating: Teen Words: 77.9k Status: Work In Progress Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov; (platonic friendship) Yuri+Yuuri Tags: Canon divergent; Alterate meeting after Sochi; Sassy Yuuri; Pining Victor; Anxiety; Getting to know each other; Learning to relationship ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Yuuri sits shellshocked at the barrage of messages. His friends and family in Hasetsu possessed a modicum of chill, as Phichit would say, at least when it came to phones and social media. This blitz... possessed no chill whatsoever. None. Yuuri thinks even Phichit would be awed. "Yuri Plisetsky and Viktor Nikiforov are messaging me the argument I think they’re having with each other about each other while likely standing right next to each other while texting me." Celestino stares at him a long moment, silent. Then he lifts a hand to his temple, closes his eyes, and sighs. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: This is a canon divergence fic where Yuri starts contacting Yuuri soon after the Sochi Grand Prix, and things barrel out of control from there. Something that I absolutely LOVE is that Wynn focuses on Yuuri's relationships with Yuri, Viktor, Phichit, Celestino, and Minami. The way Yuuri interacts with each of them is different, and I appreciate the care and emphasis she puts on making each one important for Yuuri. Celestino is often an overlooked character, so I really appreciate her attention to him. The conversations are honest, occasionally savage, occasionally funny, and just generally sweet. I especially love how he responds to Yuri's rudeness with equal rudeness initially, which is refreshing to the normal "oh what a cute kitten." Yuri can be a real dick, and it's nice to see him called out on such dickishness. And while the interactions between the two are petty and contentious from both sides for a while, this slowly changes as the fic continues. Originally, this story was set as complete at five chapters and has since been continued, which I was so excited to see! Each chapter continues to get better, further developing the dynamics between Yuuri, Victor, and Yuri. Recent chapters have seen a break through between the three, being more honest with each other, and all the angst and stress beforehand was worth the heartwarming payoff. I love this story so much, and I'm glad that Wynn decided to continue it!

Yuri, the Vampire Slayer

Rating: Teen Words: 20.9k Status: Work In Progress Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov; (platonic) Yuri+Yuuri; (brothers) Victor+Yuri Tags: Buffy the Vampire Slayer AU; Vampire slayer Yuri; Vampire slayer Yuuri; Watcher Yuuri; Witch Victor; BAMF Yuuri ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: One month after the death of his Watcher, Yakov Feltsman, sixteen-year old Yuri Plisetsky struggles to deal with the grief he feels at Yakov's death as well as the burden he bears at being a vampire slayer, particularly keeping his secret from his best friend, Otabek Altin. Yuri's brother, Viktor, struggles as well, having traded ballet and the Bolshoi for lawnmowers and suburbia following the death of their mother two years prior. Into both of their lives walks Yuuri Katsuki, a walking knot of contradictions, with his ugly tie and slicked back hair, bearing the news that he, now, is Yuri's new Watcher. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: I was hesitant to start this story despite being a big Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan (favorite American tv series still to this day). I saw the title, wasn't too enthusiastic for a story where Yuri was the main character, and stayed away. I shouldn't have worried, because Wynn does a great job balancing the scenes between all three characters. And despite Yuri getting the title role, the Buffy mantle is shared between him and Yuuri (Yuuri is 7th season Buffy to Yuri's 1st season Buffy). Yuuri shares several of his slaying stories with Yuri, which any fan of the Buffy series will recognize (the drowning, fight with the mayor, etc). I love how much of a BAMF Yuuri is. Yuri is understandably angry with the whole situation, slowly improving with Yuuri's guidance. And Victor is desperate to protect his brother and keep their family together. It's really well done, and I hope that Wynn eventually gets back to the story.

Z: other books such as Red Queen, ACOTAR, Throne of Glass, The Cruel Prince, Divergent etc. I take lots of inspiration

A-Z have fun dude

my dude

bless you ella

A- already answered!

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

tbh idk?

C - already answered!

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

i don’t have anything like that, actually. i either like a ship or i don’t.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?

the chimney fic for the inception fandom’s 2016 secret saito. also the fic that fulfulled @drown-yourdarlings prompt about rose and lissa’s lehigh university experiences but that’s on my fanfiction.net account and let’s not talk about that........... right now or preferably ever

(rest is under the cut for length)

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?

i’ve more or less been in the va fandom since... 2014?

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

see my answer to part (a)

(romitri was probably my first otp)

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

it used to be books, but i feel like there are so much unexplored depths in movies that it’s really to get inspiration for meta or fic, so nowadays it’s more movies.

I - already answered

J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)

the 00q fandom. of course i knew about james bond, but i hadn’t considered the ship

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

rose hathaway, vampire academy. over the course of six books and maybe ten months(?) she really found herself, got a lot more mature and self-confident

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)

tasha ozera did not deserve what she got. she was a force of nature.

dominick cobb is a really fucking smart guy

M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.

the collective smh + lardo

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

for inception and 00q: more well-developed female characters. more poc. more woc. more screen time for all three.

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

okay so haunted by beyonce always reminds me of arthur or q and I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BECAUSE THE SONG ISN’T REMOTELY RELEVANT TO EITHER OF THEM

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

okay i actually had this idea rolling around in my head for months. i’ve seen something kind of similar to my idea, but the premise is a little different-- “a little less sixteen candles”, arthur/eames, by osaki_nana_707 on ao3

just a sec. let me pull up my doc.

high school teacher-student CANON-DIVERGENT au except there’s no underage pedophilia because arthur’s not actually a minor, he’s a grownass man

so BASICALLY. arthur is part of running project somnacin with dom, mal, and stephen miles, but it gets shut down when the first soldier loses his grasp on reality and shoots himself in the head. topside. which is like, a mess for the military, so long story short everyone’s like “this is a NOPE program BYE”

after project somnacin gets shut down, dom, mal, and arthur open an architecture firm but arthur, who’s a beast at research and investigation and also knows shit about criminal justice (or is it criminology?), occasionally gets contacted by the military/sometimes the nsa/sometimes the cia to do consultant work.

by now arthur is twenty-four. he gets contacted by the military and it’s like “okay so someone may have stolen top secret files about project somnacin and because you know about the [highly confidential] project and you’re really good at investigative research we need you to help identify who this person is [spoiler alert: it’s our beloved thief and forger, eames], figure whether this information is in danger of getting leaked to the public, and all that good security shit??? we might need you to bring him in”

so arthur does his fancy-schmancy research, has a breakthrough and identifies a one mr. [first name redacted] eames, british ex-pat currently living in america and teaching english at a private high school.

due to his small frame and general twinkiness (i’m sorry but it’s true), arthur can pass for a seventeen or eighteen year old. SO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS? HE DECIDES TO ENROLL IN THE SCHOOL THAT EAMES TEACHES AT IN ORDER TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT EAMES. in rolls the teacher-student au

okay. that was a very long way to establish the premise of a fic, but anyway if anyone wants to write that because i am Tired and have no time, just tell me and i’ll be ecstatic

Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.

the carry on fandom, mostly because the big blogs stopped posting/moved onto other fandoms and the content generally dried up

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

i wrote a fic a couple months ago featuring adhd!arthur and adhd!eames. a genderfluid!eames fic is currently near completion. (i am so EXCITED)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

*grabs my fucking megaphone*

EDDIE CASTILE AND JILL MASTRANO AND ROSE HATHAWAY AND SYDNEY SAGE ARE ALL BI AS FUCK. ADRIAN IVASHKOV IS PAN.

ARTHUR IS PART JEWISH, PART CHINESE AND CAN SPEAK ABOUT FIVE LANGUAGES. HE WEARS JOGGERS AND BEANIES WHEN HE’S NOT WORKING. HE IS A CLASSICALLY TRAINED MUSICIAN AND LIKES TO SING

IN SOME CROSSOVER VERSE, Q AND ARTHUR ARE DEFINITELY COUSINS

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

arthur (inception), q (skyfall/spectre), eddie castile (vampire academy/bloodlines)

this is when you notice that i have a type: quiet bamfs who have been whumped by their fandoms quite hard

V - Which character do you relate to most?

arthur. my son my sun my heart.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

“i wasn’t gay until i met you” or “i hate myself for being gay but loving you makes it feel better” because why do straight people think it works like that. also, not a fan of genderbending because the concept is inherently trans and nb exclusive, plus i kind of feel like it messes up the characterization.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

when both/all parties of the otp are absolute bamfs and surprise each other with their competency

and angsty soulmate aus. call me a cheesy, bright-eyed fucker but i love them so goddamn much

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

the NHL fandom (i do occasionally reblog stuff about the pens/marc-andre fleury onto my omgcp sideblog? and i watch a few games every once in a while but i’m not actively invested in it.)

also the yuri on ice! fandom. like i haven’t even watched ep. 12 but i’ll reblog a funny post about it every so often

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)

please see all this inception meta that i have:

plot meta, character and plot meta, wardrobe meta

[chelsorz07]

i am almost 28 years old and still pretty much exclusively read YA novels: an autobiography

To be fair, I don’t have the time or energy to read as much as I’d like to. So some of these answers are probably lame.

A. Author You’ve Read The Most Books From Sarah Dessen. B. Best Sequel Ever Second Helpings (after Sloppy Firsts). C. Currently Reading A NF book about serial killers. Can’t remember the title. D. Drink of Choice While Reading Rockstar because it’s my drink of choice while doing anything. E. E-Reader or Physical Books Physical omg. I have never and will never read an e-book. F. Fictional Character You Would Have Dated In High School Alright first of all it’s been ten years since I was in high school so please don’t judge me but secondly Dave Petrakis from Speak. G. Glad You Gave This Book A Chance *sigh* Twilight. And here’s why. I’ve had insomnia since I was 14 so literally half my life and one day about eight years ago (which was, in my defense, after most of the Twilight hype had already died down so I can’t be considered like an actual fan) I was like...you know what? I bet if I read a boring AF book it’ll actually help me sleep. But guess what acutally happened? Yeah. Couldn’t put the damn thing down. And then proceeded to finish the series in a weekend.  H. Hidden Gem Book Idk how hidden this is but there’s a series of books called Sweep, and it’s about witches, and I read it in maybe 2007/2008. Pretty good shit. I. Important Moments of Your Reading Life The first time I met (so to speak) Alaska Young. J. Just Finished I haven’t finished a book in a few months but it was a different NF one about serial killers and mass murderers. The true crime section at B&N is my home right now. K. Kinds of Books You Won’t Read Romance novels. L. Longest Book You’ve Read Helter Skelter. M. Major Book Hangover Because Of I’m still mad at Veronica Roth for killing Tris. N. Number of Bookcases You Own Three. O. One Book That You Have Read Multiple Times There are several but the book I’ve read the most is probably Multiple Choice by Janet Tashjian. It’s like 4th grade level, and I’m pretty sure that’s how old I was the first time I read it, but almost 20 years later I can still relate to the main character’s neuroses and the anxiety that prompted her to do what she did. P. Preferred Place to Read In bed. Q. Quote From A Book That Inspires You/Gives You Feels  “I understood now. This voice, the one that had been trying to get my attention all this time, calling out to me, begging me to hear it -- it wasn't Will's. It was mine.” Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. R. Reading Regret I’ve never regretted a book. S. Series You Started and Need to Finish Idk about a series but I do want to read the sequel to If I Stay. T. Three Of Your All-Time Favorite Books Looking for Alaska, Second Helpings, and Helter Skelter. U. Unapologetic Fangirl For Everything Sarah Dessen has ever written. W. Worst Bookish Habit Not reading enough. V. Very Excited For This Release More Than Any Other I don’t keep up with releases, just read something if it looks good, or I’ll go to thriftbooks and buy like ten books at once. X. Marks The Spot (Start On Your Bookshelf And Count to the 27th Book) Well a. I have more than one bookshelf and b. I’m not getting up off my ass and going all the way upstairs just to answer this question. Y. Your Latest Book Purchase That first serial killer one I mentioned. And I got one of those year-long creative writing journals that asks a different question for every day. Z. ZZZ-Snatcher (last book that kept you up WAY late) When I started reading  the Divergent series I had only ordered Divergent and Insurgent from thriftbooks, read them on the same day, and went to Walmart in the middle of the night to buy Allegiant right after I finished because I needed to know what happened.

@adventures-written May got a new admirer

       A benefit event for the people that were affected by the blip. What a noble task to show up to as spiderman. Quentin simply couldn’t hold his feet still. He had to see this with his own two eyes. He wanted to see how Peter was holding up after the events in London. 

       Without any great plan, he had entered the event, stayed perfectly hidden in the masses, while watching the show. To be honest, he was a little disappointed in the spider’s speech and the lame questions of the reporter. It almost bored him and let his mind wander off to greater distractions, new plans, now ideas of how to ruin Tony Stark’s legacy. 

       That’s when his eyes fell upon the women that earlier had been introduced as May Parker, the organisator of this event and it was as if a switch turned on inside his head to brighten up his day. 

                       This was it. 

        Sheepishly, stepping over to the women that must be related to Peter Parker, Quentin planed on introducing himself. 

       “May I say, I am quite impressed by what you managed to archive with this event? It’s mesmerizing, relay, how it brings the people together.”, he started with a compliment and yet another of his fake smile that he had mastered to such an extent that they marked the mix of warmth and sadness within them just as believable. 

      “Is there any chance you might still look for some voluntary helper?”

[illusonis]

A useful conection @friendlyneighborhoodmay 

    He thought it would be easy to manipulate a grieving teenager, but Beck had overestimated himself. Breaking Parker slowly evolved into more work than he had intended to. At least Peter’s trust was already his and therefore he had felt save enough around Quentin to slip up and tell him that his friend Ned and his aunt May knew about the double life he was living as a hero. Of course he had kept the act up and scolded him as Mysterio about the danger he put those people in and yet he wanted to met those people himsel, making them a potential target and putting them in exact the danger he had mentioned. 

     Who knew how he could use those relationships against Peter at some point maybe.

     Since they were back in the US, Quentin struggled a little bit with keeping his fasade up. The construct of lies that he had buildup was very fragile and Shield, as well as the remaining Avengers might could catch up on it. Therefore he kept his head low and mainly stuck to Peter. More or less he managed to invite himself over, which needed a little bit persuasion, still Peter finally called home, telling his aunt that he would bring over a ‘work colleague of Spider-man’ for dinner. That little victory sure feeded Quentin’s self-confidence and arrogance again. 

     When meeting Peter’s aunt, Beck was pleasantly surprised, stunned even. He had expected an old lady of some sort and not a young stunning women around his own age. With a charming smile on his features, he held out a hand to greet May, while his eyes light up as yet another diabolic thought shoot through his thoughts. “

     It’s a pleasure to meet Peter’s family. Thanks for having me.”

Mirror mirror @chokethelight​

    “No, no, no, nooo- “, he whined when watching the news. 

                            >>Mysterio’s return!<< 

    - was today’s big headline, showing footage of someone posing as the fallen hero with the striking outfit. 

                 This was bad! 

                           This was really. REALLY bad! 

     All his work, all his plans, all this past month had been for  n o t h i n g and the only thing he could think of now, was to find this guy and strangle him! 

     There was only one way to accomplish this. He needed to come back out of his hiding himself to fight off this copycat. Allone the thought of it already rubbed him the wrong way. But he saw no other way. 

                All he saw was red. 

                            All he wanted to see was blood! 

     The next time Mysterio was spotted, Quentin was ready. Even though it was more difficult without Edith, he managed to get at least enough drones running to send one after the guy, fearing it could be an illusion as well, a fragment of his footage that someone recreated from some data his team left carelessly behind. If that was the case, he at least could scare him off a little. 

    “Excuse you? I think you should give me my outfit back, buddy. Ever thought of coming up with something original, instead of posing as someone else?”, his voice resounded behind the copycat where a second Mysterio was hovering over the ground, arms crossed in front of his chest all defensive.

@tastecfpoison​ liked for a crappy one liner

        “You ever feel like retiring, setteling down with a little family and buring your past six feet under? Because I sure do now and then.” 

[illusonis]

"Welcome to the team"

            This was amazing! 

     Not that he ever had doubts, but finally standing here, shaking Captain America’s hand, who welcomed him as a new part of the avengers 

          - that was truly better than anything he had ever imagined. 

     However, the real work only started now. He had to keep up with actual superheros after all and that wouldn’t be easy at all for an ordinarily human like him.

     “Thank you, Captain. I’m glad I can be furtherly useful for this earth, since I have to stay here now. I’m looking forward to working together with you.”
