Starter Call. Verse Descriptions under the read more for easier access.
I can get by on my own ~ pre serum
So this verse will be anything relating to Steve prior to taking the serum. Probably mostly before the film is set. This will also be the dump tag for anything au until I sort out a tag for our au. But you can definitely talk to me about anything relating to this verse. I’m sure I will have a lot sorted out down the line.
steve knew me longer and steve had a plan ~ falcon and the winter soldier
So this verse is for any muse that is specifically set during this time or any muse that would like to do a verse with Steve set during the time of the series. Steve has definitely been retired since Endgame in this verse as with most Phase4 based verses. The general public probably has no idea what happened to him and yes the rumors are that he’s on the moon which is really just a gag someone started on the internet. Probably a meme gone wrong. He is still youthful in appearance and is single and unattached in any way to anyone. Depending on plot needs, Steve can take a role in the plot involving John Walker as Captain America and the shift from John to Sam as Steve definitely intended for Sam to take the shield and not John. He would not be a fan of John whatsoever and you can pry that from my cold and dead hands. Steve in this verse is more of a secondary or underlying presence and won’t actively join the action/fighting unless he is asked or the plot lends to it in the way that Steve is worried about Sam or Bucky or Sharon. He will not be kind to Zemo if there are Zemo and Steve interactions and I would say that he will be aggressive towards John especially after what he did with the shield. Steve gave the shield to Sam because Sam knew what it meant and how to wield it properly for the right reasons. He saw a lot of good in Sam and that he could change the world for the better, in ways that he hadn’t, and probably couldn’t during his tenure as Cap. So he is not going to be on board with anyone else having the shield, especially someone the government cherry picked as his replacement. 
You mean he’s not on the moon? ~ post endgame
So this is essentially my post endgame verse for Steve that is open to everyone who doesn’t want to go into my main verse. If you have expressed wanting to ship in any capacity or filled out the interest tracker with it as a possibility ( but not specified a verse ) then I will likely place you here. Steve is retired, living quietly off the grid, in a nice enough cabin that I will get pictures together of once I find something that fits. He’s not fighting or doing anything related to the Avengers anymore ( unless it’s lending to the plot in some way ) and is mostly spending his time volunteering to work with veterans, leading some group therapy sessions, and creating some various foundations to work with veterans and their mental health. He’s also not much of a writer in his opinion, but with all the books about his life that got most of it wrong he’s read, so far. He’s decided to start on his autobiography which he knows he has plenty of time to complete with his lifespan. But it is still sort of a daunting task.
( living in the state of dreaming ~ infinity war au )
This is a verse where everything that happened in the mcu aside from any divergences that I usually take happened. Except in Wakanda, Thor went for the head instead of the gauntlet, and Thanos was defeated. No one snapped. There was no Endgame. Tony and Nat did not die nor did Steve return to the past. The team is still a unit and he and Tony are working through what happened in Siberia while they rebuild anything lost in the destruction of Thanos’ efforts. Willing to play this verse as a variant meaning that Steve can cross over to the canon mcu timeline if you are not wanting this to be your characters canon. But you still want to use the verse with him.

When she met him  (In progress) 
Little was known about Bucky Barnes’ life under the torment of HYDRA. From his disappearance in 1945 to his return in 2014 were years that seemed to be blank, lost in his memory, years in which he escaped the clutches of the terrorist organisation, fell in love, managed to live a full life, and once again became the Winter Soldier.

“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”  (In progress) 
Seaville, Maine, 1991. The sudden death of Tony Stark’s parents forces him to return to the town he left behind when he went to study at MIT (Boston). With his arrival, all the memories he thought he had erased come back to him. The events of his last year of high school and that summer of 1988 appear to him as if they were ghosts from the past, forcing him to confront them and causing him to rethink his life.

“THOR”/LOKI FIX-IT FICS
In honour of @backtoasgard month, here is your one stop shop for fics in which Frigga lives, Loki lives, they’re dead but reunited in Valhalla (because we take what we can get around here),Thor is a good bro, and Odin is doing some Improved Parenting. Also, more time travel fix-it fics than you can shake a stick at. Feel free to send me suggestions for fics by authors not listed here; I will continually update this as I find more fics that soothe the wounds left by canon.  (Fics listed by author in alphabetical order.)
*****
Growing Pains by Aloryshannon -- Loki is told of his heritage as a boy, but Odin gives him the choice of when and if he will ever tell Thor.
Before My Time To Go by @ark -- Time travelling to undo the damage that Thanos has caused in the present, Loki goes back too far and encounters a young Thor who hasn’t yet confessed his feelings to Loki. Infinity War fix-it, Thorki. 
His Mother’s Son by @ayankun -- Loki arrives in Valhalla. 
Yggdrasil Dreaming by Barkour -- Loki fell, and sleeps at the root of Yggdrasil, dreaming of his childhood and of Sif, while Sif dreams of the lost prince, dreams that do not feel like dreams.
Small Changes and Second Chances by @bereft-of-frogs -- Malekith kidnaps Frigga instead of killing her, and there’s someone around to heal Loki of his wound on Svartalfheim. The Dark World fix-it. Also:
Like A Tear On A Cheek -- Heimdall sees Loki alive and wounded on Svartalfheim, and goes to his aid. TDW fix-it. 
Troubled Spirits On My Chest -- Newly imprisoned Loki is easy prey for a vengeful ghost in need of a body. The ghost didn’t count on Frigga. 
Only Mostly Dead by blameitonvortices -- Odin felt Loki die on Svartalfheim, but the body that guards bring back still has the smallest spark of life left in it. (WIP)
Waste No More Time by burning_nova --  Set pre-Thor, Odin realises he’s fallen out of the habit of spending time with Loki and that he’s allowed his sons to grow up hating the Jotnar, an attitude that pervades most of the realm. He sets out to do something about both things, including giving each son a chance to rule as co-regent with Frigga while he sets out in disguise to see the state of the realm for himself. (Incomplete at 39 chapters, but it ends at a good place and was an extremely satisfying read.)
Undetermined Intervention by @camomiletea -- Infinity War fix-it. Loki wakes up in the past in Asgard, before Thor’s coronation, and realises he has a second chance to prevent his future from going wrong.
Castles In The Air by cosmic_medusa - Loki is not the one to sabotage Thor’s coronation, and his first act as Regent is to recall a mortal Thor from Midgard to help him uncover a tangle of political treachery. 
Heart of Darkness by @delyth88 -- Just a tiny fix-it. Frigga still dies, but at least Loki is there as she passes. 
Bring Me Home by @doubletan -- The Tesseract takes Loki back to Asgard. Post Endgame.
Closest Kept by @eienvine -- When Loki is wounded beyond Eir’s ability to help, Frigga takes him secretly to a blind healer on Jotunheim, where Sif and Loki learn of his heritage together and gain a new understanding of the Jotnar. Also:
Here at the end of the world -- Post-IW fix-it. Sif hears the Asgardian distress call and finds Loki floating in space amidst the wreckage of the destroyed ship, his magic just barely keeping him alive
The Child-King of Asgard by @898700 (ghost writer) -- Thor AU. Loki is much younger than Thor, there were no Frost Giants being let into the Vault, but Thor was still banished after his interrupted coronation for another reason and someone still had to take the throne. Kid Loki does a fantastic job of ruling Asgard by day and Odinsitting in the evening. He’s there for cuddles and praise when his father wakes and asks if Loki would one day like to be the king of another realm -- Jotunheim.  
The Try, Try Again Series by @enchantedlokii -- What if Frigga kept looking for Loki after he fell into the Void? What if she found him? Frigga and Thor go to rescue Loki from Thanos. 
Start From The Beginning by Everanon --  Time travel/time loop fix-it. Thor is sent back to the day of his coronation. He has that one day and one day only to fix what was broken and save Loki’s life. 
Turn by @flaignhan -- An unlikely friendship begins when Natasha is asked to spend an evening ‘babysitting’ Loki in his cell. When Loki’s behavior improves when she’s around, it becomes a regular thing and slowly she encourages him to hope for a better future, one that is nearly ruined when she’s sent on a dangerous assignment and an old foe plots Loki’s downfall. Post Avengers. 
A Queen’s Gamble by for_darkness_shows_the_stars (aka @stars-and-darkness) -- When Loki is discovered to be alive and on Midgard, Frigga is the one to go to him. This changes things. 
Chaos Reign by @fourthrose -- Post - Endgame: When the Tesseract lands at his feet, Loki transports away to safety on Vanaheim, returning to Asgard only when the Dark Elves attack, leaving Thor and Odin dead in their wake and Loki to take up Gungnir and turn the tide of the battle, slaughtering Malekith and his followers and finding himself the new king of Asgard with his mother at his side.
The Tales We Tell by fuzzy_paint -- Day after day, Thor reads to Loki in his cell from the book of Norse myths that somehow came back from Midgard with him.
Few So Generous by @galaxysoup -- Frigga takes up the rule of Asgard instead of having Gungnir handed to Loki. 
Withering Away by Galaxythreads == Thor makes a deal with the Avengers -- he’ll help them gather the Infinity Stones -- if he can bring back the Tesseract and Loki from the Statesman. (Includes Loki/Frigga scene on Asgard!)
Whose Prayers Would Make Me Whole by @gaslightgallows -- Loki and Frigga through the years. Death isn’t the end. Also:
The Art of Spinning -- Loki is given the chance to bring Frigga back from the brink of death following Malekith’s attack when the healers see the only thing tethering her to life is her bond with her son.
The Convalescent Way  -- Post Ragnarok, the Asgardian refugee ship lands on Vanaheim to re-supply, where old secrets come out and Thor and Loki’s family grows. Includes a visit to Valhalla and Loki and Frigga getting some time together. Guest starring Garm the Mystery Dog.
Seal My Heart and Break My Pride -- In Valhalla, Odin gives Loki a choice -- stay or go back to aid Thor in the fight against Thanos.
The Cruelty of a Brother  -- Thor forces Strange to restore Asgard and her people to a point before the Convergence. But he and Loki still have to live with the past and what they did.
Green and Bright  -- Thor is back from a year’s exile on Midgard, a year in which Loki ruled and gained the respect of the court. Frigga/Loki fluff.
Loki Odinson by Livin4Jesus -- When Loki is brought back to Asgard after the events of the Avengers, Odin uses a spell to see into his son’s memories, resulting in Loki being pardoned of all crimes. As Loki struggles with nightmares and rebuilding his family relationships, Thanos approaches Asgard with a score to settle. Will Loki be able to defeat the Titan with the support of his family and friends?
Loki and the Cosmic Cube by goddessofstories -- The Tesseract knows where Loki needs to go. It takes him to his mother. (”Variant!Loki/the Loki from Endgame)
Memento Mori by @gwendolynstacy -- At the moment of Thanos choking him, the time stone sends Loki back to his cell not long before the Dark Elves’ attack. It’s up to him to save his mother from dying and stop Thanos. 
The Very Best of Us String Ourselves Up For Love by halcyonidae -- Loki finds his parents and a bitchy older sister in Valhalla, but he seeks a way back. For Thor. 
To Remake the Universe by @independence1776 -- Odin arrives at the Bifrost in time to stop anyone going to Jotunheim and attempts to course correct his relationship with Loki. Thor AU. 
Peripeteia by @infinite-monkeys  -- Thor is made regent when Odin falls into his Odinsleep before he can banish Thor. This leaves Frigga to confront Loki in the Vault, which is good. But it also leaves a war-hungry Thor who ends up thinking Loki is a shapeshifting Jotun who killed and replaced his brother, which is bad, since he promptly tries to murder his brother in truth. Loki must use all of his magic to save himself and play dead, hiding under a glamour until Odin awakes and stops a Thor bent on destruction. 
Hope For The Hopeless by @jaggedcliffs -- Thor visits Loki daily in his cell to read to him. The ending is open but hopeful with Odin revealing that Loki’s cell is bespelled to release him as soon as he comes to regret his actions against Thor and Midgard. The fluffy epilogue!
Let her Know by jar_of_stars: Loki arrives just in time to save Frigga’s life when his magic allows him to see Malekith’s attack. But, panicked that he will be dragged from her side before he’s ready, he continues to pour all his life force into the shield keeping others away... (Angsty/possibly open ending if you squint)
The Binding of Loki by @kadorienne -- Odin waits for Thor to bring Loki back from Midgard, knowing what he has to say and do. 
Til the Casket Drops by kaoticloki -- Banished to Earth without his powers to pay for his crimes, Loki huddles outside a homeless shelter, cold and sick and hungry. Luckily there are people who want to see him safe and warm inside, where a chance to prove his worth awaits him. 
Everything’s Better With Bunnies by khilari and persephone_kore -- Loki turns into a bunny when stressed. A crack idea that actually deals with all the events of the first movie in a much better way and where everyone ends up in a much better place. 
Also: Overlapping Spaces -- While visiting Asgard, Jane runs into a Loki under psychiatric care and a friendship develops. Long fic, Fosterson endgame. 
Stormbreaker by @ladylapislazuli -- Time travel fix-it for Infinity War. Thor must hide his true identity when the Infinity Gauntlet sends him back to an Asgard where he’s still a brash youth and young Loki yearns to be noticed. (On hiatus)
Life’s Great Lie by laeveteinn -- Loki series AU/time travel fix-it. He doesn’t have a Gauntlet to allow him to wield the Infinity Stones safely, but some things are worth sacrificing for. And sometimes heroes get rewarded with a second chance. 
I Am Sorry, Brother by LedaSF (aka @iamhisgloriouspurpose) -- A grieving Thor haunted by nightmares of his brother falling into the Void seeks help from an Asgardian priestess. A little bit of magic and the Norns listening in allows him to go back in time to make things right. 
It Slips Between My Fingers Now by Lise (aka @veliseraptor) -- Post Endgame fix-it. While cruising with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor sees Loki’s ghost...or perhaps it’s a little something more. Also:
The Breaking Light -- When guards cannot wake an unconscious Loki, Odin goes to his son’s cell and plunges into Loki’s mind, horrified to find him being tortured by the Other and discovering just how much he still cares about his youngest son.
Road To Nowhere -- Loki enlists Thor’s help to bring Frigga back from Valhalla.
The Tapestries series -- Dying from the beating given to him by the Hulk, Loki is brought back to Asgard’s Healing Rooms. The evidence of past torture on his body gives him a second chance, and his family trying to make things right. But his body is more easily fixed than his mind, and Loki struggles to find a reason to want to live and accept their forgiveness.  
Bring Back What Once Was Mine -- Future!Thor shows up in the Vault before Loki picks up the Casket of Ancient Winters. Don’t, he says, not alone. Urged to seek his answers from their mother instead, and assured that it changes nothing between them, Loki agrees, if only because he does not want to see ‘his’ Thor to turn into this battle-scarred weary wreck of a man who is hugging him so fiercely. (Open, hopeful ending)
What Grows Beneath the Nettle by @lizardbeths -- Sif discovers that Loki is ruling Asgard while Odin sleeps in a cavern far beneath the palace. Not for power, but for duty, because there is no one else -- Thor has gone missing.  But as Loki intends to sacrifice himself to seal Thanos in a pocket dimension after finding and saving a captive Thor, Odin wakes in time to go to his younger son’s rescue and take his place while he sends Loki back to safety. Also:  
Cut and Reweave - Post Infinity War, Loki wants to fix everything that went wrong by altering his timeline so that Odin and Frigga don’t adopt him as a baby. He doesn’t succeed, but changes things anyway. Beautiful Loki/Frigga scene at the end.
A Thorn Saves the Rose -- Loki saves Frigga’s life at the cost of his own
To Walk The Path of Hope -- IW/Endgame fix-it. Thor travels back in time to enlist captive Loki’s help in the Avengers. 
Understanding the Storm series: You get *deep breath* Loki fighting Thanos’s control from within his cell on Asgard with the help of Frigga and Thor!  Shadowpath gates under Thor’s bed! Odin trying to be a good dad! Ice sculpting on Jotunheim! Loki getting kidnapped and tortured by Malekith!  Sigyn Malekith’s daughter falling for Loki! Frigga rallying the Jotnar to stage a rescue and meeting Loki’s birth mother! Thanos taking over Malekith’s body and shoving an unconscious Loki through a portal to Midgard with an open Casket of Ancient Winters!  Earth plunging into a new Ice Age! Rescue by the Avengers! Road trip on Tony’s yacht to evade SHIELD!  Munin, Prince of Ravens stealing scenes left and right! Lost ancient Egyptian cities!  A battle to the death with Thanos in the desert! Loki being lauded for his deeds on Asgard and getting to incinerate Thanos’s body with Gungnir! Things wind down with Odin making sure that Loki feels a part of their family and Loki going away to a secluded estate with Frigga and Sigyn, who has become part of the Asgardian court, to rest and heal. A separate ficlet has them married and having a baby boy.
From the Shattered Stone  -- When Loki is impaled by the Kursed blade on Svartalfheim, Sif calls for Heimdall to bring them home, despite Loki’s protests, thinking even if he could survive, he’d just be put back in his cell. But with Sif making sure Odin hears of Loki’s heroic actions, Odin is willing to offer Loki a second chance.
A Seed In Barren Lands -- Sifki cell!sex with Loki in Jotun form, followed by Loki confessing a secret from his past -- he was sexually abused by Tyr as a child, leading to the death of his pet wolf when Fenrir tried to protect him. When Odin confirms this with the sharing of memories via Gungnir (also showing Odin what happened to Loki after he fell into the Void) Loki is freed to make right what he can. Continued in A Crocus in the Snow
The Littlest Star - a night of passion leaves Sif pregnant when Loki falls into the Void. When Ullr is born, pale blue and red eyed, Sif refuses to let Frigga glamour him  and they reveal to all of Asgard Loki’s heritage in a hope that Ullr will be accepted there. When Loki reappears on MIdgard, Sif goes to him and tells him he has a son. Doubting, he returns to Asgard with her and is shocked to see Ullr, obviously his. Frigga figures out his scepter holds the Mind Stone, and knows Thanos last had it. But Loki has no memory of him, or the last several months of his life. The scepter is taken away, leaving Loki alone with Sif and Ullr and a chance at a new beginning.
Ragdoll  -- Severely injured by the Hulk, Loki is brought back to Asgard to fight for his life. There, scans reveal the damage done by Thanos’s torture, and a memory loss means he doesn’t yet know of his heritage. His family vows to do better with this second chance that they’ve been given.
Revival by longforgottenhymn -- In the battle against Thanos, Thor rips the time stone from the Infinity Gauntlet and wishes to go home. He is sent back to the past on the day of his aborted coronation and realises he has a chance to fix the past. He tells them who he is and stresses that they must not invade Jotunheim, and that their parents must tell the younger Loki and Thor about Loki’s heritage and Hela. As the younger brothers forge a closer relationship, a way is found to open a portal in the palace to retrieve and revive the dead Asgardians floating in space in the other timeline with the use of the Time Stone. As the exhausted mages holding the portal open falter, the portal shifts to the battle in Wakanda, and Thanos comes through, only to die by Thor’s hand. The portal is shifted back into space and the final bodies are retrieved, the last being Loki. All are given succour and housing till future Sif arrives, saying she’s been sent back to lead them to their new home in their own timeline. This time, they go well provisioned with supplies and books that Loki orders, to teach the next generation of Asgard’s heritage. 
Can We Start Over Before It’s Over by LRRH17 -- Endgame fix-it. Future!Tony sneaks into 2012!Loki’s cell, and tells him he needs to tell the Avengers about Thanos, and stop the future he knows from happening. Also: 
Bleeding Out -- Endgame fix-it. Undestroyed by Ragnarok, Hela wants revenge against Thanos when the souls he promised her aren’t killed in the Snap, merely trapped in the Soul Stone. She returns Loki to life with the tools to go back in time and stop Thanos when it started, during the invasion of Midgard. This time, he will answer Thor’s question and reveal who controls the would-be king. 
His Birthright by madwriter223 -- Odin didn’t mean his words to Loki when he was brought home to Asgard, But he knew Thanos could be watching, knew everything that Loki had gone through. 
Litost by melonbug -- Thor AU. Loki makes better choices (mostly) than in canon. It’s still angsty as he struggles with the revelation of his heritage, but first Frigga and then Odin makes sure that he does not doubt that he is loved and their son. 
Changing Fate by @melWinter -- When Loki finds an abandoned Dark Elf baby on Svartalfheim, he claims it as his own, and hides away to raise his son in peace. Meanwhile, Odin watches his son from afar, seeing Loki slowly healing and learning to love and trust again, and hopes that he may one day come home. Eventual Lokane. 
Leave Out All The Rest by niori -- Instead of interrupting Thor’s coronation, Loki absents himself to Alfheim immediately after, leaving Thor to show how unready for the kingship he is as he turns the first few weeks of his reign into an absolute train wreck of poor decisions and rash, arrogant behaviour.  Also: 
All the King’s Horses -- Heimdall makes sure that young Loki grows up thinking of the Jotnar as a race of people, not monsters. When he learns the truth of his heritage, Loki understands why. 
In that Bright Land To Which I Go by 100indecisions (aka @thelightofthingshopedfor) -- Loki dies in Infinity War and wakes up in Valhalla with Frigga
Also: Now All The Tendons of the World Are Loosed -- after killing He Who Remains, Sylvie feels the need to fix one Loki’s timeline. She chooses Avengers!Loki, still in his glass cage with the Other’s hook in his mind and a head full of false memories. 
Even That, I Could Not Say (mother) by Ordis -- Odin needs someone to take the throne while he goes off to bring Frigga back from Valhalla; when Loki returns home from Svartalfheim before Thor, he gets the job.
Queen Regnant by @peaceheather -- After Loki’s fall from the Bifrost, a weakened Odin must return to his interrupted Odinsleep and Frigga takes the throne. She does not let those who betrayed Loki go unpunished. Also: 
Fate’s Guardian -- Post the Dark World, Loki must, at the Norns’ bidding, relate all that happened to him starting with his fall into the Void to Thor, Odin, and the Avengers, for allies will be needed in the war against Thanos. 
Bargaining by proantangonist (aka @proantagonista) -- Thor is dead. Loki makes a deal with a witch to go back in time to fix things, at the price of his own life. Now reposting on AO3. 
What More Could I Lose by rosebudmoonseidr -- When Thor strikes the Time and Mind Stones together on the Infinity Gauntlet, his deepest wish is granted and he is sent back in time to an Asgard before his coronation, with a second chance to save all that was lost. 
Loki’s Christmas Carol by sarah1281 -- Loki gets a chance to do things differently. With a delightful appearance by Grandpa Bor in the place of Jacob Marley.

If I Could Start Again by @taaroko -- Infinity War AU -- After slaying Thanos, Thor rips the Time Stone out of the Gauntlet and finds himself flung back in time to right after his failed coronation but before the trip to Jotunheim. Also:
Interventionism -- When Heimdall sees Steve Rogers go down in the ice, Thor and Loki are sent to retrieve the body for a proper warrior’s funeral. There, they run into a few Jotnar left stranded on Midgard after the war, and Loki learns of his heritage earlier than in canon. Things go rather better for all concerned. WIP.
Child of Winter, Child of Summer -- When kids!Thor and Loki sneak back into the Vault for a nighttime adventure after their earlier visit with Odin, Loki touches the Casket, transforms, and is unable to shift back. But when Frigga finds him the next morning, what began as a horrible day ends with Loki learning the truth and feeling more loved and valued by every member of his family. 
All That Matters by theavengersmascot (aka @theclassicblunders) -- a series where Odin realises he and Loki have grown apart and seeks to correct that. Starts with a young teen Loki and continues through a Dark World fix-it. 
Good Mother by @theotherodinson -- Frigga rides down to the Bifrost while Odin sleeps on. Things go rather better. Also:

The Shining Sun -- Loki is happy and at peace in Valhalla. But Thor wants his brother back.

The Lullabye Singer -- Avengers AU. Odin goes to Midgard to bring Loki home himself, determined not to fail his son again. WIP

Picking Up The Pieces by Thursdays_Angel -- series that begins where Loki’s body is recovered from space and revived. Along the way Thor and Loki become part of Tony’s and Pepper’s family and honourary uncles to Morgan. Special shout-out to Asgard, in which Loki accompanies Thor back to Asgard of the past to retrieve the Aether and gets to have a talk and some closure with both of his parents and Endgame: In which things get even better. The fixiest fix-it ever. 
Waking the Dead by @tirsynni -- Loki steals the Time Stone and returns to the past before Thor’s coronation, intending to fix the chain of events that led to their meeting Thanos in space. Infinity War fix-it. WIP  Also: 
Never Doubt -- an older, war-torn Thor, clutching the Time Stone, drops out of thin air at the feet of young Loki in the palace garden, right before young Thor’s aborted coronation. Know that I love you, he tells Loki. And you must get Father to tell you his secrets or Ragnarok itself will unfold. Loki promises, wondering where this Thor’s Loki is, and guessing the answer.  
Hold Sacred -- The Kursed frees Loki from his cell as well, and Loki finds himself following along in its wake, to where Frigga is facing her death. 
Eternal Hope and Majesty -- When Thor aimed for Thanos’s chest, Loki -- a subtly different Loki -- is there to aim for Thanos’s wrist, severing the hand wielding the Infinity Gauntlet and giving Thor and all of Asgard a second chance. IW fix-it. 
Chaos Theory by Unforgotten -- Endgame fix-it. Studying the Tesseract after having escaped with it, Loki sees something within it that hadn’t been there before, the traces of the years of the original timeline. A little bit of magic later, and everyone now has memories of both timelines, and Loki returns to Thor on Midgard, suggesting they go home -- to an Asgard that still is. 
Ásgarðrian Galdr by Valerie_Vancollie -- The Loki that fell into the Void and was imprisoned after Avengers manages to magically contact his younger self and gives him explicit instructions on what not to do when certain things happen. This leads to Loki having a successful reign as regent where he earns the respect of the Asgardian populace. Meanwhile, the Warriors Three, Sif, and Heimdall are punished for their treasonous actions and Thor’s journey towards becoming a better leader takes a lot longer than in canon. This fic does a fantastic job in bringing Asgard to life as a fully functioning society. If you like long fics that will take over your life, this is one of the best I’ve read.   
Another Sleepless Night by wedgetail -- Odin visits Loki in the dungeon, wishing he could comfort his restlessly sleeping son.  Also:
Above All Shadows -- In a present where the Avengers failed to vanquish Thanos and Loki cannot see a captured Thor escaping Thanos with his life, he crafts a time travel spell to take him back to the past to save his brother’s life. Finding himself back in Asgard on the day before Thor’s coronation, however, he realises he can fix everything. Events start to spiral out of control, however, when a crowned Thor invades Jotunheim and is taken captive by Laufey, Odin is gravely wounded and falls into the Odinsleep, and a coup staged by one of Odin’s counselors ends up with Loki in the dungeons, his magic bound and his Jotun form revealed to all.  (MIND THE TAGS ON THIS ONE)
Those Yesterdays Bleeding Through by wnnbdarklord -- Loki’s stuck in a time loop, trying to make the events of TDW not end in Frigga’s death
No Such Liberty by Xparrot --  Post Avengers, Loki continues to scheme from his cell, but Thor refuses to give up on his brother. Things come to a head when Thanos threatens the realm to claim his lost prizes. Loki redemption and reconciliation with his family
A Mother’s Love by Yeziel_Moore -- Frigga follows Loki’s trail through the Void after he falls. 
A Break In The Silence by Zaan (aka @zaan-zaan): TDW AU. Badly wounded after Svartalfheim, Loki is returned to Asgard for healing and a second chance with his freedom and titles restored and Odin determined to be a better father.

vanessa’s masterlist | preview | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | eight.5 [interview excerpt}
Tumblr media
The day ZoĂŤ, your manager, pranced inside the office with a huge smile plastered on her face you knew your day was going to start off like a roller coaster.
There can only be two reasons that make ZoĂŤ smile: one, she got laid. How you knew that information was beyond you but it was a piece of fairly-valuable information nonetheless; two, she found damage-control whenever things got out of hand regarding you and the media.
You were hoping for the former.
See, last night was a nightmare for both you and Zoë, but mainly for Zoë. You weren’t really expecting things to get out of hand. Although you and alcohol don’t really go well together, it doesn’t stop you from taking in the pleasure that alcohol brings.
If Amy Santiago (from the show Brooklyn 99) had different personas for every drink she’d consumed, people would have to start calling you Amy now.
You had three drinks; three alcoholic drinks that rushed through your system. Three-drink-y/n was easily the snarkiest one, the bitchiest out of the three.  
You met up with a few old friends at a club that night, as you were meaning to catch up with them for quite some time now. Since your schedule was always in shambles and how your friends don’t have a lenient schedule either, it took you at least two months to plan this and you were glad you were able to hang out with people who kept you grounded.
A lot happened that night: one, you found out your friend was engaged.
“Wait a minute, we don’t talk for a month and you’re telling me you’re engaged?!” You asked Olivia in disbelief, as the ring on your friend’s finger glistened under your phone’s flashlight.  “Did you know about this?” You turned and asked Veronica who mirrored your expression.
“Uh- no? Do you think I’d be shocked if I knew?!” Veronica replied, equally shocked by the revelation that their friend made. “Livy, I thought you and Joshua were just ‘friends who occasionally hook up?’ I didn’t even know you were dating.” Veronica asked, putting air quotes on “friends who occasionally hook up.”
“Friends don’t fuck.” You commented before chugging down your martini and shortly regretting it- but you needed the kick.
Veronica looked at you pointedly but you just shrugged at her. “It just sort of happened,” Olivia mumbled.
“Oh god- you’re not being forced into marriage, right?”
“Veronica!” You gasped at your friend, who in turn just raised both of her hands in defence. “Well, you aren’t, right?” You then turned to Olivia.
Olivia rolled her eyes before saying, “You two are despicable.” She took a sip of her margarita then carried on “But no, I am not being forced into marriage. I’m twenty-three, I’m not a child-bride.”
Two, your friends had to dish you out on the current state of your love life.
“What’s all this buzz that I keep hearing regarding you and Spider-man?” Veronica asked you, with a teasing look on her face.
“God, that’s nothing.” You answered with a frown on your face. You signalled the bartender for another round of martinis. “People took it out of proportion.”
“Wait, I’m lost. What happened?” Olivia asked, finishing her drink and ready to grab another one.
“I was doing an interview for the Alchemist and they asked me a “would you rather” question. They asked me if I’d rather go on a date with Tom Holland’s Peter Parker or Tobey MacGuire’s. I answered Tom because I just saw Infinity War that time and he was brilliant, so automatically, I’d say his name.” You explained.
“See, this is why I can’t live your life, Y/N.” Veronica pointed out as you shrugged. She had every right to say so because sometimes, you really do wish that you didn’t venture into this route in the first place. “I’d never trade law school for that. Even if law school makes me want to claw my eyes out all the time.”
“Oh, please don’t give up law school, Ronnie. You are the only thing keeping our dreams alive.” You almost begged only to make Veronica laugh.
“Never too late to pick up that political science degree, babes.” Veronica cajoled. “Which reminds me, when’s your graduation again, Liv?”
“Oh, last week of May. Save the date, please?” Liv answered and you already pulled up your calendar to add a reminder in your schedule. You need to remember to tell Zoë about that.
Three, you bumped into Spider-man himself, Tom Holland.
“Shit-I’m sorry! I wasn’t looking and-” You quickly apologized as you collided bodies with someone only to look up into a pair of beautiful brown eyes. “Oh, Tom, I’m sorry.” You carried on apologizing, though you were internally grateful that your glass of water didn’t spill on him. In fact, the glass was just as full as it did before.
“It’s fine.” He mumbled and dusted himself off. “You’re Y/N, right?”
“Yeah,” You smiled. “I’m surprised you know my name. I’m so-”
“Yeah, I mean I should know the person who leeches off someone for fame. It’s the least I could do for myself.”
You had your eyebrow raised and your blood was boiling. You weren’t drunk. In fact, you have enough alcohol to garner some courage for the next thing you did.
“Asshole.” You spat as you put down the once filled glass on the table beside you. You took one last look at Tom Holland who was soaking wet.
People were staring, and you couldn’t blame them. Y/N, a rising celebrity, just threw water at Tom Holland. Imagine the news.
One thing led to another and then all of a sudden, you were trending on Twitter. It was a PR nightmare.
At this point, you’re practically begging to all of the gods to tell you that Zoë got laid. See, when things go out of hand, your manager tends to go overboard with the resolutions and if the smile on Zoë happens to be about your little accident, you already know you’re fucked.

Avengers au? 👀
Avengers AU
Okay, so this one is complicated 😂. Me and my friend @bexlynne never fully figured out which characters should go where and debated for a long time about who should be Cap. It was between Davey and Spot. I think we decided Davey.
So here’s a little snippet of the list right now with the characters we know for sure (also note that I have a lot of different Avengers AU ideas and all of the characters are switched around plenty).
Characters
Jack Kelly- Iron Man
David Jacobs- Capitan America
Racetrack Higgins- Black Widow
Hot Shot- Hawkeye
Spot Conlon- The Hulk
Katherine Plumber- Pepper Potts
Les Jacobs- Bucky
Crutchie Morris- Rhodey
Smalls- Spiderman
Romeo- Ned
Morris- Thor
Oscar- Loki
Snyder- Thanos
Mike- Quicksilver
Ike- Scarlett Witch
Medda- Nick Fury
Albert- Starlord
Elmer- Groot
Riddle- Doctor Strange
Specs- Vision
This is what I have 😂. I know there’s a lot left out. I’m gonna give you the basics of the original gang-
Jack Kelly
Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
He is a cocky, sarcastic, brilliant man who was orphaned at fifteen while studying at MIT and left a fortune by his father
He’s a womanizer when he younger.
He takes over his father’s company, continuing to design weapons and armors and make more money.
One day, while travelling to advertise his creations, he gets caught in a booby trap and is captured by enemy forces. He is severely injured and wakes up to find himself strapped to a car battery. The other man who had been taken hostage, a physicist, explains that the battery is the only thing keeping the shrapnel in his chest from reaching his heart.
Jack manages to escape, only because the physicist gives up his own life to protect him.
Jack is only twenty one when this happens.
Jack blames himself for the other man’s death.
All in all, Jack slowly becomes mentally unstable and more and more depressed after this incident.
Jack’s assistant, Katherine Plumber, a woman he’s always been infatuated with but never acted on, does her best to take care of him and help him with whatever he needs.
Jack does his best to push her away.
It doesn’t work.
Jack is in pain a lot as he makes himself a battery to keep the shrapnel away from his heart, knowing he can’t remove it without getting himself killed
He creates the iron man suit when someone threatens him and his company and him personally and tries to tell the media that Iron Man is his personal body guard, only for him to have a meeting with the press and come clean, blatantly stating, “I am Iron Man” to the public.
Jack never had a great relationship with his father, James Kelly (who he is in fact named after) and finds that his father was obsessed with this hero who died years ago called Capitan America
Jack spends his whole life trying to live up to this legend of a man as a child and it eventually becomes the real strain on Jack’s relationship with his dad.
When Jack first finds out his parents are dead, he tried like hell to find their murderer who shot them in their own car after running them off the road.
Eventually he gives up, believe it to be a random murder
When A Miss Medda Larkin approaches him about something called the “Avenger’s initiative” he turns it down immediately.
Once he gets dragged into it, as he likes to think (forces his way back in, is how it actually works) and he meets the rest of the team, he ends up forming a sort of makeshift family with them and does his best to make sure he is the one in the most danger at all times, wanting to spare the rest of their lives
He loves his team, even if he won’t say it.
David Jacobs
Was born prematurely and grew up small. He was malnourished and scrawny and short than everyone around him.
His little brother Les grew to be taller than him and stronger than him and David feels inferior to him, even though he loves his little brother like nothing else
David’s dream has always been to fight for his country.
Les gets to. David, no matter how many fake names he uses and how many tests he tries to pass, does not.
During examination that David is sure he’s going to be arrested at, he is approached by a scientist who asks him odd questions but eventually tells him that he’s going to go to war to defend his country. And David is ecstatic.
Though Davey is not the strongest, he proves to be the smartest and bravest and most worthy soldier at training camp. The reason he’s there is so that the scientist that approached him before can conduct an experiment on him and make him into a super soldier
Davey agrees
David is made into a super soldier, but instead of becoming an actual soldier becomes more of an add for patriotism.
Until one day he hears about a group of soldiers that are captures not far from the camp he’s set to entertain at.
Les is one of the captured soldiers
David goes against his orders and tracks down the hostages, freeing them all and finding his little brother strapped down to a table like some kind of experiment
Les is confused when he sees that his brother is actually taller and stronger than him.
They only barely manage to back it out of the collapsing building alive.
After this, Davey does get to fight against Nazi forces. He fights against several attacks with his brother as his right hand man and a woman named Peggy who he’s falling in love with
One of the missions that Davey is sent on with Les gets them into a moving train, which Les is shot in just before he falls out of the car down a cliff. He is reported dead.
David blames himself for this
Another attack ends with David in a plane, trying to save an entire city of people by diving down into the ocean. He talks to Peggy as he goes under, promising her a dance as neither of them have ever had the opportunity to slow dance with someone before.
He wakes up 70 years later
David is practically dragged into the Avengers.
He never truly gets used to the 21st century.
He and Jack do not get off to a great start
David is physically only three or four years older than Jack but Jack still calls him “old man”
David grows very close to the team he is given.
He’d protect them all with his life.
Racetrack Higgins
Antonio Higgins was orphaned in Russia when he was three years old.
He was found by an organization that took him and claimed him as their own.
Growing up, he was brainwashed and heavily trained in combat and in interrogation techniques.
Antonio Higgins was named after he was found. He doesn’t know his birth name.
Antonio was raised to be one of the most lethal Russian spies in history. He was basically psychologically programmed with false memories to ensure his loyalty to the organization
Race was brainwashed to believe he’d been a ballerina
Antonio is sent to the US to break into Kelly Industries and basically frame Jack for starting a terrorist attack.
Antonio is met with Iron Man instead.
Iron Man never gets a good look at him, but ultimately Antonio gets injured and runs. He lays low for a couple days only to be met with an ex-criminal now working for an organization called SHEILD. Who eventually becomes Race’s only friend and convinces Race to leave the people that raised him behind him.
After only a few months away from that, Antonio is recaptured and brainwashed all over again.
He’s sent to the US again only to be met with his only friend who held him break free of the control that this organization had over his mind and Antonio eventually is recruited by SHEILD as one of their best informants and combat specialists
Once Antonio becomes apart of the Avengers, Jack, who met him as a geeky assistant to Katherine a few months ago while undercover, calls him Race because he’s so quick
Race becomes close with the entire team, almost more so than the others as he’d grown up with no one to rely on but himself. Race is younger than Jack when he meets him. It amazed them all how much he’s been through.
Yes Race and Davey go through all the events of winter soldier and yes they are still like brothers when it’s all over, but Race discovers that it’s okay to have feelings for a man (even if that man isn’t David)
The first time Race can ever recall crying is after the events of Infinity War
Hot Shot
Luca Romano began as a normal kid.
He is orphaned when he was young, much like Race, only he has a brother.
His brother and him run away and join the circus where they are taken under the wing of a swordsman
Luca learns a lot about acrobatics and pickpocketing tricks.
This swordman eventually teaches Luca how to shoot a bow and arrow. This becomes Luca favorite trick and a talent he practices at for years to perfect.
He never misses.
A couple years after meeting this swordsman, Luca figures out that this man is a wanted criminal who he tried to turn over to the police
The man turned on him immediately and tries to kill him.
Eventually, the swordsman gets away and Luca’s brother follows him, stating that he’d rather have a warm bed and hot meal than the morals that Luca did
So Luca is on his own.
He stays at the circus and is known as Hawkeye, the world’s greatest marksman
Luca only ever wanted to help people. However, after a misunderstanding, he is perceived as a criminal and runs to not be taken into police custody
He’s seen hovering over a man who’d been stabbed and was bleeding out on the ground. He’d only been trying to help
SHEILD had an agent out at the time, watching the crime and going in to stop it. That’s when they found him. They brought him in. Luca thinks they’re arresting him. But they’re recruiting him.
They train him. Since he’s young, they basically help raise him. (He’s in his mid teens when they find him)
Eventually he’s sent out to find a spy that had broken into Kelly Industries. He’s told to eliminate him. And at this point, they’d taught him that sometimes bad people needed to be taken care of.
So he had every intention in doing it.
Until he met Antonio
Antonio reminded him of himself. Alone. Lied to. Nowhere to go. So he tried to help him. And they got close until Antonio was taken away
Luca makes it his goal to find Antonio (who is younger than him and reminds him of his little brother)
It takes about a year for that to happen
Once Hawkeye becomes an Avenger, Jack gives him the nickname “Hot Shot”
Hot Shot basically ends up being one of the most responsible avengers. He ends up having a family that only Race knows about and basically adopts Race as a little brother and teaches him the difference between good and bad
I love the Hawkeye/Blackwidow relationship
Spot Conlon
Sean Conlon is a brilliant scientist
During an experiment with a gamma bomb, he sees a teenager accidentally driving onto the range and rushed to save him by shoving him into a trench, but takes the gamma hit himself
He wakes up without a scratch
But that night, after one too many reporters manages to piss him off, he transforms into a big green monster, unable to control himself and destroying his own home.
Sean grew up an orphan. Passed from foster home to foster home. He grew up with issues already. Anger management issues, being one of them.
He’s horrified at the thought of hurting someone but has always been unable to control his fits of rage.
He tries to let his boss’s company take him in, expecting them to kill him if they can’t reverse whatever was done to him
After hundreds of tests and more torture than anything else, Sean tries to off himself, only to transform and have “the other guy” spit the bullet out of his throat.
Rather than try to continue fighting this curse he’s been given, he breaks out of the facility he’s locked in and focuses strongly on helping others rather than hurting them.
He travels all over the world and puts his scientific knowledge to use as he tries to cure diseases in other countries.
Sean avoids any relationship he can, not wanting to get close to people that he could potentially cause harm to
That’s why, when years later he finds himself being followed, he tries to scare the person off
Only to find a young man who escaped his every attempt at losing him
Though, he does manage to scare Race by pretending to get ready to transform. Race pretends not to be phased, even though he jumped
He gets dragged into the avengers and starts to fall for Race who is even more emotionless than he is.
Or at least, pretends to be

A/N: Heya! This MCU sideblog is kinda new, so I posted the full work here, too. I hope you guys enjoy it!
WARNINGS - mentioned child abuse, alcoholism and character death.
Tony knows something is up with the kid.
Having known Peter for a couple of years now, the teenager is prone to bottling things up. It started off with wounds, which were easily detected by his suit. Following that, Tony would find out he had the same coping mechanism when it came to things that deeply, mentally affected him; and that is harder when you’re unable to get reports on someone’s emotional well-being.
Peter hasn’t been out as Spider-Man as often. Tony has somewhat expected it after bringing the kid and everyone back, but it doesn’t help that the kid rarely answers his calls now. When he does, Peter comes with excuses not to come visit him, arguing he has his own life to get through, which Tony understands at first, but then Peter straight up ignores him, and the man becomes skeptical and worried. He even goes to the point of calling May, who only tells him that her nephew has grown a bit distant overall.
It takes two or three months for Peter to come visit at all, and it’s pretty much thanks to his aunt, who finally convinced him to sleep over there since she would have to work on helping the people affected by the Snap. Happy picks him up, almost bringing Tony to the good old days when Peter used to come by the compound… he can’t help the reminiscent feeling.
Pepper snaps him out of it with her sweet, concerned voice. Her hand is carefully placed on his knee, caressing it with the most gentleness.
“He’s coming now, Tony,” She reassures him, as if reading him like he’s an open book. “You don’t have to be worried.”
Tony sighs. “I couldn’t even get him to come here by himself, Pep… what can I do?”
“You have to be patient with him, honey. Peter has been through a lot… he’ll tell you once you make it clear that it’s okay.”
He doesn’t reply then, as she gives him a supportive smile. Tony tries to believe that’s how it’s going to work out, so he returns the gesture and holds her hand. His eyes gaze at Pepper with adoration and sheer joy of expecting their child.
(He won’t admit out loud that there’s fear somewhere inside him, too, despite having literally dreamed about it and becoming so enthusiastic after. Not only was his father the worst role model, there was… also the guilt of Peter dying in his arms, as Tony couldn’t do anything. Nightmares would still haunt him to no end.)
It takes Tony another moment to return to reality when Happy arrives with Peter. The head of security has a rather uneasy and concerned expression on his face, silently telling Tony that the kid is acting off. The older man doesn’t have to take another minute to confirm it as Peter barely looks at him and Pepper in the eye when they greet the teenager.
Being the great people he could’ve asked for, Pepper and Happy make up the excuse they needed to get something heavy inside the house. They disappear quickly before Peter can protest. It’s probably the first time they’re alone in such a long time.
“So, uh, wanna get inside?” Tony proposes. “Or do you want to sit out here for a bit?” He presents the chairs standing in the porch.
Peter simply shrugs and sits in one of them, refusing to look at the man as the stubborn boy that he is.
“How have you been, kiddo? Has school been tough?” He asks nonchalantly, only to get no response.
Tony really wants to be patient with him like Pepper suggested, but he’s had it. The kid hasn’t talked to him properly in freaking months, has only ignored him. It’s obvious that something is wrong, and all Tony did was give it time. He’s given enough time, more than enough.
“Kid,” The man stands on his knees in front of him. “Pete?”
Peter turns his head away, only the dead silence replies.
“Peter, you’ve been away for months now and you’re not going to tell me anything?” Tony insists.
“No.” The kid’s voice is the quietest he’s heard, beating it to when Peter said I’m sorry before he faded away with the wind.
“And why is that?”
Nothing. Tony sighs, almost groans.
“I know there’s something wrong, Peter. You don’t have to hide it from me. You’ve been ignoring my calls and texts all over. Your aunt noticed you’ve been quiet, too,” Tony explains. Having no reply, his voice lowers, “Jesus, kid, I’m- I’m really worried about you. Why won’t you talk to me?”
The question makes Peter shift to anxious and guilty, yet it doesn’t convince him to talk. No, it makes the kid more stressed, as his hands are visibly shaking.
“You know you can trust me, right? I… Kid, I care about you, so much. You’re so important to me.” Tony almost feels hurt that Peter seems to not believe it. Has he not made it clear before?
The man reaches the boy’s hand, grabs it gently. “Pete. Please look at me.” At Tony’s pleading tone, Peter hesitantly raises his head, revealing unshed, repressed tears. “You can tell me anything – anything that’s hurting you. I won’t think any less of you.”
Tony doesn’t take the eyes off the kid, who’s unable to contain the following sniffs that escape. The older absolutely hates seeing Peter in this state, but it’s worse when he thinks just for how long he’s been bottling it up.
“I-I don’t- I c-can’t fit in, Mister Stark,” Peter whispers.
“What do you mean?”
“I can’t fit in! I-It’s only been months and- and everything feels so different, Mister Stark! I don’t- I don’t know how to explain and it’s frustrating, like—” Peter sobs. “E-Everyone is just acting like n-nothing happened. And I’m here, still remembering every single detail. Still feeling myself disappear. I can feel everything, and I c-can’t forget.”
Tony’s heart breaks. “Peter…” He holds his hand tighter.
“May’s found someone, my classmates aren’t always there… Ned and MJ were dusted, too, but they have their own lives, too. A-And you, you got married… you’re gonna have a kid…” Peter’s eyes are fully red, tears falling nonstop. “Everyone is moving on but I’m still here… fearing I’m gonna disappear again.”
He takes a while to reply. Tony blinks his own tears again, as his hand reaches Peter’s cheek.
“Oh, Pete…”
“I just- I get it, y’know. I’ve never been a normal kid. Now it’s pretty much worse and I’m trying to accept that, too. That I’ll never fit in. I want everyone to be happy. I w-want…” Peter sniffs. “I want you to be happy, too. You have your own family. Y-You don’t have to babysit me anymore.”
“No, Peter—”
“It’s okay, Mister Stark. I-I’ve always been different- I’ve always been a freak—”
“For fuck’s sake, kid, that’s not true,” Tony snaps for once, immediately toning down as he feels Peter flinching. His own dark eyes are burning now. “You’re not a freak, you’re- you’re my family, too.”
He places both hands on Peter’s shoulders firmly and doesn’t look away, ever.
“Peter, you’ll always fit in my life. And in May’s life, and your friends’. I want you to be here. You’re my kid, you’ve- you’ve always been my kid, and nothing will ever change that, okay? Nothing.”
“But—”
“I mean it, Pete. Do you have any idea how much I missed you? Do you know how fucking horrifying it was to watch you die in my arms? It was hell without you, all those months…” Tony’s own tears start falling. “It was killing me, Peter. May couldn’t handle it, either.”
The teen grows quiet again. Tony starts drying some of his tears with one of his hands.
“You don’t… you don’t get it, everyone’s just acting like things are fine and I just c-can’t forget what happened.”
“It’s okay if you don’t feel okay. You’ve been through so much, Pete… everyone copes differently, you’re not forced to act like everyone else does. You shouldn’t bottle it up.”
There’s silence between them for a couple of minutes before Peter hesitantly speaks up again.
“B-But what if… what if everyone gives up on me?” He wonders, absolutely frightened, despite his whispering tone. Just those words manage to destroy Tony inside more.
“That’s never going to happen, not in a million years. We love you, kid. I love you so much you have no idea.”
Peter only cries more, and Tony finally hugs him. The teen sobs in his shoulder, breaks down hard as the man holds him, putting one of his hands in the kid’s brown curls while the other soothes his back. Tony can’t help letting out shaky breaths in the meantime, but he’s still firm in his grip, grounding the kid, reminding him of the unconditional love he has for him.
Knowing Peter, the teenager will need the reassurances over and over again, and Tony is going to do that every single day if necessary.
When the boy’s sobs start quieting down, the man plants a kiss against his cheek and squeezes him, unable to contain his tears. Tony pulls him away only slightly, still holding him by his arms and keeping him close.
“We’ll get through this, okay? I’m never giving up on you, kid,” He reassures, sighing deeply while Peter is able to breathe slowly. “I will always stand by your side.”
Peter, teary-eyed, looks at him with certain doubt. “Always?”
“Always.”
The teen jumps in his arms again, only for… for something to catch Tony off guard. There’s something like… like a click. In Tony’s mind, that is.
He freezes for a moment, but he cannot refuse to comfort Peter again. The mechanic mumbles soothing nonsense, only for him to become silent as his attention shifts… to somewhere else.
This moment, he realizes… it feels like a deja vú. Except it’s not actually a deja vú. If that makes sense.
It doesn’t help that Peter notices when they finally face one another – or at least when the kid looks at him, since Tony is facing the nature around them, not quite focusing on the trees themselves.
“Are you okay?” Peter asks, taking him out of the trance.
“Wh- of course, kiddo. You shouldn’t worry about me.”
He doesn’t look convinced. Tony almost feels hypocritical now, not wanting to worry the kid with some weird impression he has. But how can he explain when it doesn’t even make sense to himself?
Before Peter can question him again, Pepper and Happy are back there. The latter tells them he should get back to the city and the former offers them to come inside and get themselves something to eat. Peter finally looks a little excited, maybe because he might be hungry, so he no longer focuses on Tony, or so he hopes. The kid isn’t stupid.
Pepper and Peter get to the kitchen first, especially as the teen offers to help her. Tony doesn’t follow them immediately, facing the wooden walls of the house. Words fly around and replay in his brain, somehow in different voices other than Peter’s and Tony’s.
It’s almost like Tony has actually heard them. Somewhere, a long time ago…
It might be a lost memory. It sounds so familiar. Why is it?
He doesn’t think about it now as Pepper calls for him. Tony shakes his head and is able to put on a mask for the meantime.
(Yet not for a moment does he try to stop struggling to remember.)
 It comes to him at night. If anything, it’s nothing more than a mere glimpse.
Everything is mostly blurry. He can recognize old colors, that remind him of a distant past. Of a familiar face. One so important and meaningful that has craved a place in his heart. He can’t put his finger on it, however.
He hears silent crying. Feels warmth wrapping around his body. Arms that feel like… like home.
I will always stand by your side. The voice says, in a memorable accent.
A-Always? It’s a tiny, young one that asks.
Always, Tony.
Tony wakes up with actual tears in his eyes. He’s not scared, but… it’s something strong regardless.
It was an actual memory. If it weren’t, he wouldn’t have gotten so shaken.
He… He wants to understand. He wants to remember.
As a result, he doesn’t fall asleep again. No, he ends up going downstairs. Tony doesn’t think too straight, so next thing he knows, he’s somehow inside the garage. To find answers.
B.A.R.F was created to recount traumatic experiences, change them, give him some comfort. It was his own therapy method for quite some time after he’d developed it. Tony hasn’t used it in a long time, though, but he still remembered to implement it in his E.D.I.T.H glasses (… which might have its name changed now that the big battle is over).
Today, he doesn’t mean to use it to change something in his past. This time, he wants… he wants to activate his brain, somehow. He’s still trying to make sense of the flashback he had. More and more words fly here and there, and he knows there’s something meaningful about them, about the memory he’s striving so hard to clear it up. It’s too bad that he can’t rationalize.
He keeps feeling the same pain and warmth from that moment. He remembers his frustration. He knows it’s from his distant past, long before Tony was known as the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist persona. It’s a part of his life that the Stark has forced himself to repress, to the point where it’s still affecting him now.
Now that he has the glasses, parts of the memory are coming to life, right there in his garage. There are the same colors he’s seen. Dark red that reminds him of blood, of violent words and remarks. The sunset outside, a rather beautiful and tear-jerking sight. Frustrated yelling, except Tony can’t understand any of it. In contrast, there’s another calm voice that tries to reason with it.
Tony knows he’s going to feel even more fucked up. Almost nothing about his past leaves him at peace. It always comes back to haunt him with the same questionings about himself. He partly blames the media for getting literally anything from his life and making a huge deal about it, despite having become familiar with being such a recognizable figure.
He doesn’t want it to matter now. He wants to understand what happened. There are memories that may never come to the surface, thanks to the long-term trauma. A mechanism his body has developed all those years, long before the occupational hazard that is to be a hero.
Tony is sure he’s on the verge of breaking down as he tries to force it to come out. No, it’s not working. He shouldn’t do it this way. Shouldn’t yell at his oppressed, younger self that’s never been truly gone. That’s been quiet, in an inner coma, suffering all at same.
He should be… patient. Suddenly, Pepper’s words come to him again.
You have to be patient with him, honey. Peter has been through a lot… he’ll tell you once you make it clear that it’s okay.
He takes comfort in them. He should… give himself time.
It’s okay, he tells himself. It’s okay. You don’t have to come out now, but you don’t have to be afraid. You’re… You’re safe.
In response, Tony is able to breathe again. He tries not to focus on what B.A.R.F is up to.
You’re safe, he repeats again, and again. He closes his eyes and relaxes, at last.
He… lets it flow.
(Distantly, it kind of reminds him of that movie with the cartoon panda achieving inner peace. He must have seen it with Peter one time. It feels like decades ago.)
In. Out.
In. Out.
In. Out…
When he opens his eyes, he’s no longer in the garage.
Rather than the cozy wood, it’s a wide room with dark red walls. Tony recognizes it to be the living room of the Stark mansion. He’s been so used to the lake house that he forgot just how big (and empty) everything was. Sunshine rays enter the residence, it’s a rather beautiful day.
In contrast, there’s the yelling again. Fighting. The bright blue pixel figures slowly come to surface. One he acknowledges to be himself. Young Tony seems to be at least 15, as he’s already wearing one of his old MIT hoodies. The other person turns out to be Jarvis, who still has his fancy, black suit.
The two are arguing. A very rare occasion to happen. They never got into a bad argument, not like Tony and Howard constantly did. Though, if anything, Tony is the one yelling. Jarvis calmly tries to get to him, which makes the teenager behave worse.
“You don’t GET IT, Jarvis!” The boy screams. “I don’t fit in anywhere! Not in MIT and certainly not in my own home! My parents send me away whenever they have the fucking chance!”
“Master, they only… they only mean to do the best—”
“DON’T YOU DARE DEFEND THEM! You hear them say that yourself! They don’t want me around, n-nobody wants me around.” Tony’s voice is angry, furious, yet it’s dangerously close to break in tears that threaten to fall. When he was young and more emotionally unstable, he’s not yet learned to keep on a mask. That would happen after MIT. “Nobody gets it, Jarvis. I’m… I’m never going to be normal. I’m a Stark. I’m supposed to be great, but I’m… not.”
Present Tony feels the words stinging in his heart. The look on Jarvis’ face only makes it harder to watch, to listen. He doesn’t repress it again, though. It’s too late to go back.
“Mom and Dad gave up on me when I was fucking six, Jarvis,” Young Tony hisses, words poisoned with disgust. “They barely let me get home now. And when I am here, they never want to see me. They’re ashamed of me.”
The boy’s eyes only grow deeper as he continues, “I w-want to believe you, Jarvis… I want to believe Mom, that she and Dad… that they love me, but it’s- I’m not that fucking stupid, okay? No matter how hard I try to be better, I’ll never be good enough. No matter how many stupid robots and engines I build, that’s never going to change.”
(Present Tony feels it. The shame. The disappointment in himself. It was never truly gone, was it?)
“I don’t… I don’t blame people for feeling ashamed of me. For thinking so little of me.” The teenager’s voice breaks in sobs. “I-I know I’m a fucking freak. Okay? I get it. I’ll never be normal. And… you know what? You don’t- you don’t have to keep babysitting me anymore, Jarvis, you can- you can just leave me, too. Y-You have your family to get back, you should be with them. I’m not worth it.”
Jarvis is silent. He’s completely torn, heartbroken.
(Tony almost wishes he could never remember the look on the man’s face.)
“Maybe Howard was right,” Young Tony says bitterly. “I’ll never be someone anyone can be proud of.”
The teenager weeps and falls to his knees. Present Tony only stands there, unable to see the look on Jarvis’ face as he stares at his younger self. Tears creep in his own eyes, the speech getting through his heart, ripping it to a million pieces again.
(He hates that he still feels like Young Tony to this day. Feeling useless at the battle against Thanos. Helpless as he watched Peter die. Failing to save half of the universe. Watching the world still falling apart, despite everyone getting back. Expecting his child, Morgan, to arrive and fearing he’ll fuck her up, too.)
Present Tony doesn’t say a thing. The silence that follows in the scene almost drowns, suffocates him.
It’s a long time before he hears slow footsteps coming to him. His teenage self, that is. It’s then that Jarvis wraps his arms around the young boy. The Present Stark can feel its affection from there.
(He faintly feels what teenage Tony must be feeling right now. Having always wondering how a hug from Jarvis felt like. It’s something he never admitted to himself until maybe that moment and right now, years later. Tony can even smell the butler’s cologne and it’s so much like home.)
Young Tony freezes; stiffens his body while Jarvis welcomes him in his embrace. The butler places a hand behind his head, touches his dark hair so caringly that Tony finally gives in – he downright melts.
“I’m… I’m very sorry. For making you believe all of this.” Jarvis sighs. “I will not defend them – and not him ever again, because he is wrong. For a so-called genius, he knows nothing about you. I have not known a boy as intelligent and as good-hearted as yourself.”
The younger makes no noises nor moves while the older continues, “You have already changed the world… and you will make it much better, because you are going to be greater than he could ever be.”
“Jarvis…” He whispers. “I…”
Present Tony can tell he wants to say I love you. But he doesn’t. He’s too shocked, too broken to say it; but Jarvis seems to hear it anyway. The butler soothes him as he leans his chin against the top of Tony’s head.
“I am very proud of you.” The man speaks, with the most sincerity he’s heard. It might be the most genuine and positive thing anyone told the fifteen-year-old in more than a decade.
Jarvis gently pulls him away, faces still close and he gazes at him with unconditional love.
“I will always stand by your side.”
“A-Always?”
He doesn’t hesitate. God, Jarvis smiles fondly at the hurt boy. “Always, Tony.”
It’s the first time Jarvis calls him that. He’s not Master Tony. From the sound of it, he has never been just Master Tony to the man. He’s always… been family. Just like that, the teenager sobs even harder, only to be protected by Jarvis’ arms again. The crying echoes in the living room, and so the sun illuminates them both.
“M-Mister Stark?”
Tony doesn’t startle up, even though he was entirely integrated. He partly turns around, finding Peter, his curly hair the biggest mess he’s seen. Were it not for the situation the teen finds him, Tony would have squished the kid for how freaking adorable he is.
“I-I’m sorry, I uh- I heard you wake up and you- you just rushed out here and I got w-worried, so I followed you and… I kinda saw some of that. Sorry,” Peter rambles. “Are you okay, though?”
Despite the tear that rolls down Tony’s face, the man nods. “I’m fine, Pete. Sorry for scaring ya… there was something that wouldn’t leave me be. Not the first time that happens,” He shrugs, which doesn’t really soothe Peter. Tony then admits, “But it was��� different this time.”
The boy’s puppy eyes shyly glance at the projection of B.A.R.F, which hasn’t faded away. It’s paused like a Youtube video, so it has stopped by Tony having a full crying attack while Jarvis holds him.
“Who’s… W-Who’s Jarvis?” Peter asks.
Tony is almost shocked to realize that he’s… he’s never talked about the butler before. Well, he never opened up much about his past, but the kid is already aware that Howard wasn’t the best father in the world. The billionaire would have, maybe, if he had the A.I., but much like its inspirational muse, it was… gone, for good. Remembering what happened to Vision makes Tony’s heart drop more.
“He was… like a father to me. When my old man couldn’t be.” He swallows a lump in his throat. Tony ends up gazing at the projection of his own father figure. His real one. “You know I wasn’t in a good place before… but Jarvis was always there to take care of me. He never stopped, not for once, until he passed away.”
From the corner of his eye, Peter nods in silence. Tony doesn’t mind that he hasn’t stopped crying quietly himself. He just lets it all go. As he gazes at the image in front of them, guilt fills Tony’s heart. Certain… fear of letting people down. It’s a feeling he honestly only felt when he was a kid. Maybe, it’s there whenever he remembers Yinsen, whose advice Tony never once forgot. But now that he truly remembers this argument with Jarvis, it makes him feel worse. Makes him feel like he’s been… ungrateful to his father figure – forgetting him.
Part of Tony remarks that he couldn’t remember this, it is his coping mechanism, whether he likes it or not. Still… he can’t help feeling terrible about it. He hates that he ever developed that method.
“What’s wrong?” Peter isn’t dumb to ignore the look on his face. This kid… he’s too good.
Tony sighs in fondness, looking at Peter briefly with a sad smile before resuming to Jarvis. How sweet of a man the butler was… to the freaking mess that younger Tony was.
“Just feeling nostalgic is all.”
It’s true; B.A.R.F reacts to what his brain is currently thinking. The scenario changes to what was Tony’s bedroom, as huge as the rest of the mansion was. An even younger Tony Stark, probably seven or eight, fixing a little electronic car toy that he built. Jarvis is standing next to him, watching with clear interest.
“Look, Jarvis! I think I got it!” Little Tony claims, very proud of himself.
“I knew you could repair it, Master Tony.” Jarvis smiles. “Let’s put it in action, shall we?”
Following that, they test the car, that runs at full speed while the child controls it. Tony is having the time of his life and the other is satisfied.
“Look at it go,” Jarvis says in his same tone, not taking the smile off his face.
Another memory replaces it. Little Tony hesitantly enters a room, crying and hugging himself. There are plenty of bruises in his arms, from what they can gather from the rare lighting from the night outside.
“J-Jarvis?” He calls, vulnerable.
The butler wastes no time to get there.
“H-H-He got m-mad that I w-was- was p-playing with the…” Tony tries to explain it but is interrupted.
“Shhh… you don’t need to explain it.” The man carefully holds his hands. “I will take care of this, alright?”
Tony nods. “I-I don’t like it when he drinks… h-he gets really worse.”
Jarvis sighs. “Neither do I. But you are safe now. Once I get you cleaned up, I could tell you a story. What do you think?”
“I like stories. C-Could I… have some some chocolate milk, too?”
“Of course.”
There are others to come. Jarvis greeting a younger Tony whenever he gets home. Jarvis comforting him after a nightmare. Tony shyly giving him a hand-made Happy Butler’s Day card one time when he found out that day existed, since he… he never had the courage to do the same when it was Father’s Day. Not even when it was just Jarvis and Tony after Howard and Maria died.
The unpleasant memories of that time are projected by B.A.R.F, too. A nineteen or twenty-year-old Tony Stark coming home drunk with some random lady. Jarvis isn’t looking pleased, but he could never be angry. He’s just worried.
“Ah, beat it, Jarvis,” Tony groans. “Don’t need to baby me anymore. See?” He smirks at the lady that playfully threatens to bite him.
“Sir, this is getting too far.”
“Sheesh, can’t I have some fun? C’mon. You would like that too, old man. Next time, I’m gonna bring you a lil’ friend.”
Jarvis can only sigh. Tony scoffs, “Alright, whatever, we’re going to bed. See ya.”
“Let me assist you—”
“Hey- Hey! Leave it, okay?” He almost slaps the other’s hands away. “Ugh, Jarvis. I can handle stuff on my own. Don’t need any diapers. See?” Tony kisses the girl passionately. When he finishes, he says, breathlessly, “I’m a big man now.”
The butler doesn’t protest, if not for a pained look. “Of course.”
The drunk young man stumbles to his room with the girl, leaving Jarvis on his own. The man was old, nearing the end of his life and yet he still insisted to take care of Tony, even if he was nothing more than some stupid piece of shit that always disappeared in parties, coming back with random girls every night he came back.
Current Tony is silent when the last memory comes. He’s at some other event, some party at Stark Industries. Obadiah brought him to meet some of his co-workers and stuff. Tony is having the time of his life when someone rushes to him; one… one of the housekeepers that sometimes helped Jarvis at home.
“Mister Stark,” She tries to get to him.
“Marisa! What’re you doing here? You’ve come to join us?” Tony laughs with the others, but she looks serious.
“Tony, this is no time for partying.” When she calls him Tony, that’s when something is wrong. His face almost falls.
“Shit, you’re scaring me; what happened?”
“It’s… It’s Jarvis, he’s…”
What she says next isn’t heard, as Tony doesn’t remember. The look on the twenty-one-year-old says otherwise. Next, he’s at the hospital. Awaiting with Obadiah by his side, he’s insisted to come.
When the nurse comes out, she has a heartbroken look on her face.
“How is he? Is he okay?” Tony already throws a bunch of questions, even though her expression… it tells him everything. He can’t accept it.
“No. No, c-c’mon. Jarvis is the strongest person I know, he can’t… he can’t just…!”
He doesn’t finish the sentence. The nurse lowers her head. “I’m very sorry. We tried everything we could. I’m sure he tried, too.”
Tony doesn’t cry; he straight up faints. The alcohol must have worsened it. When he awakes, they’re alone at the corridor and he begs Obadiah to assure him that Jarvis is fine. He hopes his butler rushes to see him, so they could go home, watch the genius build something, play a game, do anything.
He couldn’t be more wrong. The now older Stark almost feels disgusted as his younger self craves Obadiah’s comfort, but well. He couldn’t have known.
“He can’t die, Obie,” Projection Tony whispers, only to raise his voice. “H-He can’t die. He can’t leave me, too!”
Finally, the man removes the E.D.I.T.H glasses. The whole hospital ambience disappears and they’re both back at the same old garage. Everything feels so small now. So crushing, all this knowledge.
He almost forgets Peter is there at all. The teen saw everything… all the details. Tony didn’t want to hide anything from him, not anymore. On the other hand, he also regrets it when he sees Peter’s sorrowful gaze. Shit, it’s too much for him.
Tony looks away in shame and regret. “Yeah. Now you get why I don’t talk about that past stuff with anyone,” He jokes darkly. He sighs and tries again. “I’m sorry you had to see all that.”
Peter looks a minute away from crying with him, but he takes a deep breath and replies, quietly, “It’s okay.”
The mechanic holds the glasses like they’re going to break at one touch. He puts them away where they were, by the desk with everything else he kept there. Tony resumes to the same spot he was, no longer seeing the projections, just his adapted workshop. Everything is very quiet now, not even the crickets outside can be heard.
(It felt like his house after Jarvis was gone. Tony would barely be there, drowning himself in every drink he found at bars.)
“He died before I could say I was sorry.” Tony whispers. “I… I forgot what he told me. That he believed in me. And after my parents died… I just stopped caring, for good. But he didn’t stop caring about me and…” His lips are quivering. “He was gone before I could realize it. Before I could b-be better.”
Peter takes one step. “Tony…”
Tony now stares at his own feet, the tears making it to the wooden floor. He realizes he doesn’t have any socks warming the former. “He… never gave up on me. But he knew I was ruining my life. I… I let him down. Really bad.”
He can hear Peter stopping. He knows the kid is closer, but he doesn’t have the courage to approach. Maybe it’s the right thing to do. Tony feels like the worst person in the world now. God, he’s fucked up so many damn times.
The broken man is silent for dreadful and long minutes, Peter not getting any closer, nor saying a thing, either. Tony’s hands are shaking.
“I just… I wonder if…” His breath trembles. “I-If he could come back and see me one last time… wh- what would he think of me now?”
He doesn’t expect an answer. Or, he might know it. It might not be too pretty.
Tony embraces the dead silence. At least, before he’s embraced by two arms from behind.
“I-I… I think you’re pretty great, Tony,” Peter gulps, clearly crying. “You grew so much, you became a hero. You saved the universe, you… you saved me.”
Tony’s mouth opens but nothing comes out. Especially not when the boy hugging him, desperate to reassure him, continues with a whisper full of intensity, “You changed the world, just like he said. He would be so proud of you, Tony. We all are.”
That’s enough to break the elder. Tony sobs, his own hands reaching Peter’s arms and squeezing them. For once, he turns around and hugs his kid tightly again. They stand there for an eternity, ugly crying, repeating reassuring words.
“I love you. I love you.” Peter repeats, each time with more sincerity than the last.
“God, I love you too, kiddo.”
(He hopes he can feel Jarvis’ presence there, too. Even if that’s technically impossible. Jarvis never left his heart, after all. Tony promises he will stop hiding it. He’ll make sure to tell Morgan about the man, too. He was his hero. He just wishes he could have actually realized it sooner.)
Finally, Tony leaves one last breath before pulling away from the crushing hug. He still holds Peter’s arms affectionately.
“Thanks, Pete. I needed that in this moment of catharsis,” He tries to joke, getting a little smile out of the kid.
“Are you okay now?”
“Never been better.”
Peter nods. Tony wonders what they can do, seeing as it it’s so late in the night. They both have terrible sleeping habits, he’s afraid.
“Let’s get outta here, yeah?” The older suggests. “How about we see a movie? I miss late movie night.” He puts an arm around Peter’s shoulder, guiding them both out of the garage and closing the door behind them with his spare hand. “Remember we used to put on Star Wars for the hundredth time when you couldn’t sleep?”
Peter snorts. “Y-Yeah, that would be cool. Any suggestions? Would be nice to pick something different.”
Tony hums and thinks for a while… then he has it. “I remembered this one… you know that, uh, that panda that learned to gain some inner peace or something? And he did those moves with the water?”
“You mean Kung Fu Panda?”
“Yeah, that’s the one! I suddenly remembered it today. Thought of refreshing my memory.”
“Oh, cool. That’s the second Kung Fu Panda movie, by the way. The best one in the series, to be fair.”
“Of course.” Tony smiles as they reach the house and get to the living room. The lights are dimly on, thanks to his instructions to F.R.I.D.A.Y.
They both stay awake until the movie ends. Doesn’t take long for the two to fall asleep right there and warm themselves up with the blanket Tony grabbed. They snuggle against one another, safe with each other’s company.
He missed this.
When he falls asleep, though, he remembers Jarvis tucking him in to bed one night. Like every other night, Maria is at a business trip and Howard just isolated himself somewhere in the mansion.
“Tell me that story, Jarvis! You promised!!” The enthusiastic, small Tony demands.
“Very well. Once upon a time, a very stubborn little man went to bed… the end.”
Tony groans. “That’s a horrible story!”
Jarvis openly laughs that time. He is usually contained, being affectionate in his own way, and much better than his father, that’s for sure. Still… it’s nice to hear it.
“Do not worry, Master, I have many other ones like that. You will learn to appreciate true art.”
“Noooo, I know you have better ones, Jarvis!”
“Oh no, you have discovered my secret.”
“Tell meeee,” Tony whines.
“Very well. Can’t say no to that face.” Jarvis dramatically sounds defeated, making Tony giggle. He then sounds serious again. “Once upon a time, there was a very smart boy who created amazing inventions. He had a room full of them, but he had to hide; for his intelligence was misjudged by the mean people of the village. His father would not give much support, either; but the boy was fearless.” Tony’s eyes brightened up as the man continued, “He went outside and helped everyone with their problems. Built stronger homes, vehicles, all constructions you could imagine… and one day…”
Jarvis grabs the little metal man Tony built when he was six, which sitting on his bedside table.
“… He discovered how to fly. He created magnificent wings and flew by his village. The people saw him as their hero… and they had hopes. For the little boy, now a grown man, changed their world and would continue to change every other place he went, making the whole world a better place. The end.”
Tony blinks in awe. “Woah…”
“Did you like it? I personally prefer the one of the boy going to bed, though,” Jarvis teases, the boy rolling his eyes as a response.
“I loved it,” Tony answers, clearly flustered.
Jarvis smiled at him for a couple of minutes. Then, he would stand up and say, “Very well. It is time to sleep, Master Tony.”
“Okay.” The boy yawned, feeling the exhaustion coming to him. A gentle hand is placed by his leg. “Good night, Jarvis.”
“Good night. You can call me if you need anything.”
Once Jarvis turned off the lamp, Tony closed his eyes, faintly hearing the butler close the door in the distance.
When Tony opens his eyes again, he’s flying in the blue sky. Flying to the horizon ahead of him. Knowing the people down there are counting on him. They are proud of him. They’re their hero.
Somewhere down there, he knows his family is there rooting for him. Peter, Pepper, his little Morgan, Rhodey… and Jarvis is there, too, smiling with pride.

“Don’t look at me.” He could understand some things here and there about science. But it was really more Bruce and Tony’s area of expertise. Some of it just went straight over his head. He wasn’t about to claim otherwise. “All I know is something has to be done with them because if there was a Thanos once, there will be another, and another. They aren’t safe to be kept around for anyone to break in and take.”

i don’t know
Tumblr media
in which peter has a rushed morning and soulmates are real.
A/N: this is going to be a soulmate au series, which will contain both endgame and infinity war spoilers. however, this part is spoiler free. 
There were simple rules the world seemed to follow; the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, single cell organisms are the smallest life-forms, the sky is blue, and everyone gets the initials of their soulmate on their right wrist. It’s not something everyone is born with, as they appear when the soulmate is born, nor is it something that stays around for a long time. Some soulmates had a tragic tale, such as an early death that made the handwriting of the other person go away, or never meeting their soulmate and having to settle down with someone who didn’t match the letters on their wrist. The ending everyone dreamed of was getting the line through letters, signifying that they had met the person they were destined to be with.
These were the rules everyone followed.
It was no surprise that Peter also had this marking. He often thought about what the letters stood for, who had the cutesy handwriting, who his soulmate was. Aunt May swore that it was a girl’s writing, as each letter had a cute, little swoop at the end of it, but Peter didn’t want to confine his expectations to a box, then feel disappointed when he met them and they weren’t what he had daydreamed about. He wasn’t sure if he liked boys, but his soulmate was his soulmate, and he knew he’d fall for them, no matter what. Peter didn’t have any set rules or expectations about his soulmate; he was just grateful to still have his soulmate. Not all of the people around him were so lucky. Aunt May was not this lucky, and neither was Ned, Peter’s best friend. After meeting and marrying Uncle Ben, the messy “BFP” disappeared from her wrist the day he died. Ned can’t remember ever having letters, his soulmate probably died not too long after being born.
Y/N is the polar opposite of Peter. She spent days thinking about who would be able to replicate the surprisingly neat “PBP” on her right wrist. She racked her brain day in and day out, trying to conjure up an image of who these letters could belong to, as well as what it stood for. She had recently decided she liked the name “Percy Benson Pratt”, but she had cycled through plenty of others before deciding she liked that one. She also frequently daydreamed about what he could possibly look like. An epic name like ‘Percy’ meant he had to have striking eyes, probably either green or blue. A middle name like ‘Benson’ probably meant he was on the shorter side, and definitely wore glasses (however, these conclusions may have been swayed by Freddie Benson from iCarly). And, a basic last name like ‘Pratt’ didn’t really give her anything, just that there is a small chance he could be a ginger. She wasn’t upset about it, though. She knew she was just daydreaming, and she’d be immensely happy with whatever and whoever her soulmate was. Unless he was a serial killer. Or a bad person.
For Peter, it was any normal day. He woke up on a pile of textbooks, chem worksheets, and notebooks, then he took a minute to figure out where he was. Once he came to the dramatic realization that he was safe and in the comfort of his own bedroom (which took a little too long considering, you know, spidey senses and everything), he looked at the clock. His heart skipped a few beats when he noticed he was meant to leave for school ten minutes ago. He quickly zipped around the room, haphazardly throwing things into his bookbag. The only thing Peter slowed down for was to make sure he had the components to his suit. He frequently panicked about whether or not he had grabbed the mask while sitting in class, which always caused a problem, since only one person knew about Peter’s hobby. But, despite it all, Peter changed into a pair of jeans, threw on a hoodie, then started his normal route to school, with just a little pep in his step.
The morning went just about as smoothly as any other for Y/N. Well, not really. It was slightly hectic as she was still getting used to the new house. She had absolutely no idea where her favorite cereal was, which meant she had to opt for taking her mother’s granola bars to eat on her way out. But soon enough, she was off to her new school. The feeling of her heartbeat was prominent as she walked through the front doors. She headed straight to the counseling office and was surprised when Mrs. Cutler, her counselor, was waiting for her. Y/N was a little early, so it was a pleasant surprise. “Good morning,” Mrs. Cutler greeted, “I’ll give you a quick tour of the classes on your schedule, and the big rooms like the cafeteria and auditorium, and then send you off to first period!” Y/N felt the rush of anxiety as soon as the words left Mrs. Cutler’s smiling mouth. Despite feeling like she was about to be sent into a hungry lion’s den, Y/N powered out a nod, then followed Mrs. Cutler out of the counseling office.
“Mr. Parker, you’re not usually late,” The secretary in the office informed Peter, as if he didn’t know. “I know, I was up late studying for the chem test and slept right through my alarm,” Peter answered, leaving out the part where he snuck out at around 10pm because he wanted to follow the stream of police cars that Spider-man was able to hear. “Since it’s your first time, I’ll let you off with a warning, next time it’s lunch detention.” Peter nodded as she wrote him out a pass. As he walked out of the counseling office and to his locker, he heard Mrs. Cutler’s all too enthusiastic voice. It was easily recognizable, as he had spent a lot of time in her office, discussing colleges. However, Peter couldn’t tell who the girl next to her was. Peter wasn’t known around school, but he did know everyone. He always looked at it as a blessing and a curse, so he just lived with it. But he didn’t think he’d ever seen this girl before. Someone with her sense of style definitely didn’t go to Midtown Highschool, he would’ve noticed it before. Nonetheless, Peter turned the opposite way, making his way to his locker, before heading to first period.
The tour went a lot faster than Y/N thought it would. The school was not as large as it seemed from the outside, which surprised Y/N. Before she knew it, her brand-new locker was being closed, and she started her hike to first period. There were only a few minutes left in class, and Y/N seriously considered just skipping and saying it took her a while to open her locker, but then she figured it would be easier to make friends if her face became a common one. When she entered the room, the entire class turned and looked at her, as if she hadn’t just popped in while on her tour. During the tour, her teachers had shown her where she would be sitting, so, with a small smile on her face, Y/N made her way to the empty table in the back of the classroom. It was her English class, but they were in the middle of discussing a book Y/N hadn’t read, so she was told to do her best to follow along for the next few classes.
Peter’s day went by like normal, running from class to class, Ned annoying the shit out of him, and having to deal with Flash’s snarky comments, so lunch was going to feel like a breath of fresh air for him. Sure, Ned’s annoying ass would be there, but at least Peter would have food to fuel him to engage in conversation. Plus, they had finally opened the outdoor seating, which very few people ever used. He could get away from the huge crowds, while stuffing his face with whatever greasy meal they were serving today. Once he received the tray of said food, he quickly made his way outside. He rushed away from both Ned and Mj, needing a small moment of peace after the crazy morning he had. That’s why he was surprised to see someone sitting at the table across from their usual one. “Hi?” Peter asked, probably coming off ruder than he planned to.
Through the windows in the cafeteria, Y/N could see how empty the outside seating was. That’s what drew her to it, as it would be the easiest way to avoid the awkward “where can I sit so that no one talks to me, but I don’t look like a total loner” stage of being the new kid at school. This sense of mind was quickly ruined when a boy came up to her. “Hi?” He said with a crease in his eyebrow. All Y/N could think was ‘wow this boy is so pretty’, before her thoughts shifted into ‘why the fuck does he have an attitude, all I’m doing is sitting’. “Hey.” She replied, looking at the small scowl on his face. “Uh, sorry, that might’ve been rude, but-”
“Might’ve been?” Y/N quipped, enjoying his flustered state. “I mean, that was rude, sorry,” Peter blushed, looking at the pretty girl in front of him, “it’s been a rough day.”
“You’re telling me,” She smiled up at him, once he found his words. Peter smiled at the girl’s sarcastic response. Just when Peter was going to pipe back with, what he though was, a funny reply, Ned came busting out of the cafeteria doors, “Dude! Mj totally just ran into Flash with her whole tray! The food went all over-woah, Peter’s talking to a girl?”
“SHUT UP!” Peter yelled, turning away from Y/N as a blush began to spread across his cheeks. Y/N let out a laugh his reaction, as well as the new boy that came out of the cafeteria’s enthusiasm about this Mj person. However, as Peter turned away from her to discuss what was going on with his friend, Y/N started to feel awkward about the situation. “See you later, Peter,” she bid him a soft goodbye, allowing her voice to waiver as she said his name, just in case that wasn’t actually his name. She really hoped to actually see him soon.
Peter’s eyes followed her around the table and into the cafeteria. “So, who was that?” Ned asked. Peter thought for a second before answering, “Actually, I don’t know”.

Fragile Line
chapter 5:
oh, holding my breath
Tumblr media
Inspired: Beauty and the Beast 
Featuring: Bucky Barnes
warnings: angst, tears, sadness, oh and yeah smut happens... finally.
an: So it’s been forever and a day, and I’m sorry about that. There might be one more chapter of this if people like actually want epilogue chapter. Also Infinity War totally didn’t happen in this story for many reasons.
 I’m starting almost done with a Drunk Bucky Barnes college au mini series, that I’m trying to finish so that’s going up soon. Oh and the next next fairy tale inspire story is going to be the modern day little mermaid story with Steve Rogers and Bucky is going to pop up in that.
Series Masterlist: links are broken, the series masterlist is in my masterlist. The link is in the bio.
Tumblr media
Lydia listened to what Steve has told her to do. She got down to Amsterdam and checked into a hotel with nothing but her duffle bag and purse. She watched as the feud between Iron Man and Captain America played out in front of the world.
After the constant coverage it got to the point, she couldn’t watch it anymore.
She couldn’t believe all of this seemed to be happening over Bucky. Who was being framed for something he didn’t even do.
She went into to town to find a bookstore so she could find a something to reader to keep herself distracted. She avoided seeing newspapers or watching TV. She didn’t want to read the horrible things that everyone was saying about Bucky Barnes. She saw over and over again he was being referred to as the assassin the Winter Soldier. She couldn’t wrap her mind around the fact that some people considered him to be a killer. The man who rescued her who seemed more afraid of himself didn’t seem like the man who would kill people. She knew he had a dark past but she knew he didn’t have any control over who he was or what he did. He wasn’t the monster they were making him out to be.
It had been two weeks since she last saw Bucky, and she missed him. She missed constantly having him around even if they didn’t talk much. She just felt safe being around him and she like his presence. On the fifteenth day they had been apart she opened the door to her hotel and found a flip phone with a text on it. It simply read “meet me at the café rose at 8:30am”. She didn’t have a doubt in her mind that it was Steve finally coming to let her know she could leave. That night she nervously sat around. She was worried Steve was going to tell her something bad happened to Bucky. That night she didn’t get much sleep, she tossed and turned and a dream about being with Bucky again.
She got dressed and headed into town in the early morning. At eight thirty she walked up to CafĂŠ Rose to find Steve Rogers sitting outside with a baseball had on and sunglasses. Slowly she walked over and sat down across from him. She could tell something was wrong, he just looked sad.
“Morning,” he softly said.
“Morning,” she replied not exactly what else she should say. She hadn’t ever talked to Steve outside of the time Steve found her in Bucky’s apartment.
“Before you ask, he’s safe and hidden away from everyone,” he looked over at the girl who seemed to be on the verge of tears right in front of him.
She let out a soft sigh and nodded her head knowing that him being hidden away was for the best.
“He’s not hurt at all?” she asked knowing there had been a big fight in an airport in Germany.
Steve sighed and her heart dropped at the thought of him being hurt. “He got pretty beat up and his metal arm gotten taken off.”
She gasped and reached up to cover her mouth. She suddenly wanted to cry at the thought that he lost his arm again. “Is he okay?”
“Yeah he’s fine I took him somewhere where he can get a new arm and he’ll be okay,” Steve sounded so calm and it was making her feel better about the situation.
“Where is he?” she asked.
Steve let out a heavy sigh and looked down at the table that had a coffee sitting in front of him, “Lydia I can’t tell you that unfortunately. I can’t let anyone know where he is. I can only keep him safe if nobody knows where he is.”
She knew he wouldn’t be able to tell her, but there was a part of her that wished he could, “is he still having nightmares?”
He shook his head, “no he won’t anymore. Where we took him, they’re going to fix him and take away what Hydra put in his mind away.”
Her eyes grew wide and started to brim with tears, “please tell me you’re not gonna wipe him.” She felt bile crawl up her throat at just the thought of someone wiping Bucky again, when he was just getting some of his memories back.
Steve’s own blue eye grew wide as he reached across the table and placed his hand on top of hers, “oh god no, I will never let that happen to him again.” He paused for a moment. “Were trying to get him back to being normal Bucky. I don’t want them to ever be able to trigger him again.”
She nodded her head trusting Steve. From what she had read in the last two weeks, Steve and Bucky were childhood best friends. She knew that he cared for Bucky as much as her.
“What happens from here?” she asked knowing that Bucky was never going to be in her life again. It was finally time for her to go home to the states for a while. She just needed to hear what Steve thought she should do.
“I’m going to go into hiding and you should probably leave Europe for a little while. If anyone ask about your time in Romania don’t let anyone know you knew who he was.”
“Okay will do.”

She had been home back in the states for about two months. She moved back into her parent’s house. When she first came home, they asked her loads of questions of about her time in Romania. She didn’t tell them much other than she worked in a café. She worked on restarting her life back in the states. She had just started working at a coffee shop in her town. Her life was simple and she knew that, but since coming home she felt like something was missing. She knew it probably had to do with the fact she never actually got to say goodbye to Bucky. The last time she saw him was the morning in the safe house after they shared a kiss. She had fallen in love with the man that saved her life, and now here she was having to live her life acting as if she had never met him.
She often heard people talking in the coffee shop about Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. Every time she heard Steve’s name, she would help but listen in at the thought that maybe they might mention Bucky. After everything had originally happened Bucky’s picture was plastered across magazines most of them referred to him as the Winter Soldier one of the deadliest assassins to live. It always made her sick to her stomach reading about him, because she knew the Winter Soldier wasn’t truly Bucky. That was who the people who wiped him turned him into. She hated that people didn’t know the Bucky she knew, and they never really would.
Three years later
Sitting in the kitchen at her parent’s house she was listening to her parents talking about her birthday that was tomorrow. She hadn’t even actually thought about her birthday her mind had seemed to be in other places recently.
“What are your birthday plans Lydia?” her mother asked grabbing her attention.
“What?” she looked up from her coffee that was sitting on kitchen table in front of her.
Her mother gave her an unamused look as she knit her eyebrows together, “Lydia have you even been listening to me or your father?”
“Sorry I zoned out,” she picked up the large cup of coffee and brought it up to her lips. Her eye looked at her mother who gently shook her head at her daughter.
“Did you want to have dinner tonight with us?” she asked her daughter.
Nodding her head, she gave her mother a half smile, “yeah I’m going out tonight with some friends and people from work tonight. So, tomorrow is perfect.”

Walking into the crowed bar with some friends and coworkers, she couldn’t help but wonder if she made a mistake by going out. She wasn’t ever a person who enjoyed going to crowed bars, and she wasn’t sure why she thought going to one with all her friends to celebrate her birthday would be a good idea.
Standing at the bar next to her friend Allie she was listening to her go on and on about her cousin who she thought would be a great match for Lydia. Allie had been a friend of hers since high school, and she was on a mission to find Lydia a man, even though she had told her often she wasn’t interested in dating. Allie like everyone else had no clue about Lydia’s time with Bucky. She just assumed that Lydia didn’t want to take because of her terrible break up before she left to move to Romania.
“Lydia you and Kyle would get along amazing, why do you at least go on one date with him?” Allie asked before taking a sip of her cranberry and vodka.
“Allie I’m not interested in dating,” she sighed looking down at her drink that was sitting on the bar.
“Come on Lydia one date wouldn’t kill you,” Allie wasn’t ready to give up on getting her friend to go out on a date.
“Allie maybe another time,” she picked up her drink and walked over to the table where the rest the group was sitting.
Allie followed behind her friend, and shouted to the group, “someone buy the birthday a shot we need to get her drunk.”
Lydia did nothing but roll her eyes as she sat down at the table. Moments later some of the group were waving down a waitress to order her a couple shots. She groaned as two shots of tequila were sitting in front of her. Taking both shots, she shook her head as the gold colored liquid slid down her throat.
Soon she was being dragged on to the dance for in the corner of the bar and was dancing with some friends. The gold liquid left her feeling slightly tipsy, few people offered to buy her drinks, but she turned them down not wanting to get drunk. As the clock struck midnight, she said her goodbyes to her friends telling them she couldn’t stay out super late because she had family stuff to do the next morning.
Walking outside she hailed a cab. Luckily the bar she was out wasn’t too far from her apartment. The warm feeling of the alcohol flushed through her system as she walked up to the elevator in the lobby of her apartment building. Clicking the button, the doors to the elevator opened and walked inside alone. Leaning against the wall of the elevator she couldn’t help but wonder if she should have maybe stayed at the bar for another hour, but for some reason she wasn’t really in the mood to celebrate her birthday. As the elevator doors opened as stepped out into the hallway. She saw a man in a hoodie standing in front of her door and she suddenly got nervous, she was tempted to go back to the bar instead of walking up to the man. Before she could even decide what to do a familiar face turned and looked at her.
Her heart jumped at the sight of Bucky standing at her door. Her eyes went wide as her eyes locked onto his icy blue ones. Without even thinking she took off running down the hall towards him. The second she got to him she wrapped her arms around him holding his body close to hers. “Bucky,” she muttered as tears started to slide down her face.
“Lydia,” his metal hand rubbed her back holding on to her.
As she held onto him tightly afraid if she let go of him, he would disappear again. Her body shook gently as she held on to him.
Pulling away from him slowly she looked up at him with watery eyes. She was still in a state of disbelief that Bucky was standing in the hallway in front of her apartment. She reached up placed her hand on his scruff covered cheek. A soft smile formed on his lips as his blue eyes stayed lock onto her eyes.
They hadn’t said a single word to each other, other then their names. She still seemed to be in a state of disbelief that she was with Bucky again, and he was shocked that she wasn’t mad at him for leaving her.
Leaning down he rested his forehead against her taking in her presence.
She wasn’t even sure what she should say to him right then. She had no clue where he had been for the last three years, and even though she thought about him often. She was constantly trying to remind herself that most likely she was never going to get to reunite with the man standing in front of her.
“I’m sorry I left you and never said goodbye,” he whispered breaking the silence that was between them.
She closed her eyes pushing back the tears that had formed between them. Reaching up he rested his hand on her cheek, and his thumb reached up an brushed the tears off her cheek.
“You didn’t have choice,” she said softly.
“Can we maybe go inside and talk?” he asked pulling away from her.
Nodding her head, she reached into her purse to pull out her keys. Bucky took another step away so she could the door. Walking side she set her purse on the floor and walked over to the couch in the living room. Bucky followed behind her and sat down on the couch next to her.
They stared at each other for a long moment neither of them exactly sure what they should say to each other. She reached over and rested her hand on thigh, and gave him a soft smile.
“I’m assuming you have a lot of questions,” he said softly knowing that three years had passed since they had seen each other and she had to have some questions.
“How did you find me?”
“Steve tracked you down for me,” he reached over and rested his hand on top of hers and gently squeezed her hand.
At the mention of Steve’s name, she couldn’t help but wonder if Steve had told Bucky that she thought she loved him all those years ago. She couldn’t lie that even with three years passing she was pretty sure she loved the man that was sitting next to her.
“Did he tell you that he met up with me after Germany?”
He nodded his head, “I asked him to make sure you were safe. I had him check on you occasionally.”
She nodded her head not exactly sure what else she should ask him, she was still completely blown away by the fact that she was seeing him again. “Are you still having nightmares?”
He shook his head, “no, they were finally able to take away what Hydra put in me.”
He gave her a gentle half smile that suddenly gave her butterflies.
“This might embarrass me, but did Steve possibly tell you how I felt about you?” her heart raced at the thought of Bucky rejecting her feeling she felt for him three years ago, especially since she still had those feelings.
Slowly he nodded his head, “he told me about them a little while ago. He also made sure to bring you up often. He knew you were one of the only real things in my life in the last seventy years.”
Tears started to slide down her cheek slowly, “when he found me that day, I honestly thought I was never going to see you again. We had shared that kiss that morning and I thought things were getting better for you…” she paused for a moment reliving that morning. “I should over never ask for you to go out and get fruit. We might have had more time together,” she couldn’t help but cry feeling suddenly guilty.
“Hey,” he reached up placing his hand on her cheek so she was looking up at him. “We were living on borrowed time. If I didn’t go out that morning, I was eventually going to go out again, they were going to find me at some point. I’m just glad that Steve found you and not someone else.”
She nodded her head and asked him the one thing she needed to know in that moment, “are we on borrowed time right now?”
He shook his head, “no I’m not going anywhere unless you ask me to.”
“Okay good because I’m not ready to lose you again.”
“Lydia, just so you know, I felt the same way you did back then.”
She couldn’t help but smile. Reaching up she placed her hand on his wrist that was resting on her cheek, “do you still have those feelings?”
She needed to know, even if he didn’t it wouldn’t change how she felt then or now.
He nodded his head, “you’re still the realest thing that has ever been in my life.”
“That makes me feel better knowing that I’m the only one with those feelings,” she said softly causing him to smile.
“Are you single?” he asked completely out of nowhere.
Her brows furrowed together as she gave him a confused look, “yes, why?”
“Because I would like to kiss you again, but I want to make sure you’re not taken.”
Her eyes lit up at the thought of them sharing another kiss. “I would love for you to kiss me.”
Without another word he leaned forward and connected his lips to hers for a gentle kiss. His lips moved against hers slowly as if he was testing the waters. Pulling away from her he couldn’t help but smile, he had waited a long time before he was able to see her again, and here he was being able to kiss her again.
“I have missed you so much,” she whispered.
“I missed you too, I know I have been gone for a while, but they fixed me.”
Even though they had taken out what Hydra put in him, Bucky was still left with what he had done under his control. He felt a substantial amount of guilt for the people he had hurt because of Hydra.
“Why does it sound like you don’t feel like you’re fully fix?” she asked knowing that by his tone he still sounded guilty.
“I will never be able to forget what I did because of them. Even being wiped I’m still left with the memories are coming back,” he sighed.
“Hey, we’ve been over this, you weren’t in control you aren’t a monster. You didn’t do those things,” she sighed shaking her head.
“I know, that’s what Steve reminds me of all the time.”
“Bucky what happens now?” she asked needing to know if eventually he was going to leave again.
“I don’t exactly have a plan, I asked Steve to track you down. I told him I needed to see you, I wasn’t sure if you had a boyfriend or something, but needed to see you again.”
She smiled, “I’m glad you tracked me down, because in the last three year I have thought about you often.”
He reached up and pushed a piece of hair behind her ear and asked, “where were you tonight?”
She let out a heavy sigh, “I went to the bar with some friends to celebrate my birthday.”
His eyes went wide at the mention of her birthday, “it’s your birthday?”
She smirked at how caught off guard he sounded, “well technically since it’s after midnight yes it’s my birthday.”
“I wish Steve would have told me that I would of brought you a gift,” he sighed feeling suddenly stupid that he didn’t know this information.
“I don’t really need a gift. See you again is enough,” she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his again for a soft kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him close to her, she didn’t think she would get over the fact that she was able to kiss him again. Pulling away from him she looked over at the clock to see that it was one in the morning. “Did you maybe want to stay the night? It’s late and I’m exhausted, but I’m not ready for you to leave again.”
He nodded his head, he couldn’t lie he thought about the nights he shared wrapped up in her arm held close against her curvy body.
“I would really like to stay the night.”
Standing up she reached over and laced her fingers with Bucky metal fingers and led him down the hallway towards her bedroom. She dropped his hand and walked towards her dresser to grab her pajamas.
“You can sleep how ever you want. If you want to sleep in your boxers,” she as she walked towards the bathroom so she could take off her makeup and get ready for bed.
She removed her make up and washed her face and changed into her pajamas. Walking back into her bedroom she found Bucky sitting on the edge of the bed in nothing but his boxers. Walking over to him she moved to stand in front of him, he looked up and smiled at her. He never in his wildest dreams thought he would see her again, let alone get to share a bed with her again. Reaching up he gently took her hand and pulled her closer to him. Standing up he moved to press her lips to his for another kiss.
“How are you even real?” he asked wondering how he found her.
“I’m pretty average at most,” she whispered as his hands moved to her round hips.
He shook his, “you are far from average Lydia. You are perfect.”
Before she could even say anything sat back down on the bed and pulled her onto his lap so she was straddling him as he sat on the edge of the bed. Reaching up he held her face in both hands staring at her.
“I don’t know what happens tomorrow, for all I know you could kick me out and tell me to leave…” he paused for a moment to stare into her eyes. “But I would love to share one real night with you.”
“Bucky I would never kick you out and tell you to leave,” she leaned down and connected her lips to his for an intense kiss. Their lips moved together as if they need the other to breathe. Her fingers tangled in his long hair hold him close to her as his hand gripped her round hips grinding her against him. There tongued moved together as she rolled her hips gently against him. His lips moved from her mouth and started kissing down her jaw. As his beard tickled her skin, she couldn’t help but moan at the feeling of his lips against her skin. His metal hand pushed her shirt up exposing the metal of his touch to her bare skin. The cool metal sent a shiver down her spine in the best way possible. Tilting her head back she gave him more access to her exposed skin.
Pulling his lips away from her skin he reached down for the bottom of her shirt. Pulling it off he couldn’t help but groan at the sight of her bare chest in front of her. He licked his lips before his lips moved to kiss her collarbones, before working his way to her bare chest. His lips kissed her sensitive skin as she grinded her hips against his grown bugled.
“Bucky, I need more,” she moaned.
With his lips ghosting her skin he spoke, “I didn’t come to see you with the intention of this happening.”
“I know you didn’t, but I need all of you,” she sighed as his lips peppered kisses across her skin. “I have missed you so much, and I just need all of you.”
He pulled his lips away from her skin, and in one quick motion stood up holding Lydia’s curvy body as if she weighed nothing. Her eyes went wide as he held onto her. She attempted to have him put her down but before she could say something he said, “you weigh nothing to me, quit freaking out.”
He moved and laid her down on the bed. Reaching up to her curvy hips he hooked his fingers into the band of her pajama shorts and panties, and pulled them both down in one quick motion. Laying on the bed completely naked in front of him she sat back on her elbows and watched as Bucky removed his boxers leaving him naked and proud in front of her.
“Do you have a condom?” he asked sounding slightly nervous.
Nodding her head, she moved to reach into the top drawer of her nightstand and pulled out a foil packet. Holding the foil packet out Bucky took it and tore it open and slowly slid the rubbed down his length. She watched with lust filled eyes as he pumped his length a few times before crawled into the bed. Lying next to her he connected his lips to hers for a searing kiss as his flesh hand moved down to her sensitive mound, his finger slid up and down for slit a few times before his fingers did lazy circle on her bundle of nerves while their lips moved together. He was attempting to give her some foreplay before. Pulling his lips away he continued to move his finger against her bundle of nerves causing to moan her name.
“Lydia what to you want?” he asked lying next to her.
“All of you,” she moaned.
Pulling his fingers away from her, he moved so he was hovering over her. She reached down and helped line him up with her entrance. Slowly he slid in and she gasped at his size, it had a been a really long time since she had sex. She was going to need a moment to adjust to his size. Once he was fulling in, he stilled for a moment giving her time to adjust. Her head rolled back as she took a deep breath and then looked up at Bucky who was staring out with lust blown eyes.
“Are you okay?” he asked feeling suddenly worried at the was hurting her.
“Yeah I’m fine, I just need a moment,” she said giving him a soft smile. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers for a soft kiss. “Go head and move,” she said with his lips still brushing hers.
With a slowly roll he started to move his hips against hers. Her hands moved up to grip his back as he continued to move into her. Groaned as his hips thrust into hers picking up the pace slightly. In all the time that had passed since they had last seen each other, he didn’t think he would ever get to be with her. In his mind back then he thought that they might event sleep together, especially after they had kiss, but then again, he wasn’t sure if she ever would want to do this with him.
“Bucky,” she moaned.
“Baby,” he groaned dropping his head to her shoulder. He started placing wet kisses across her bare skin. She moved her hands down to his butt pulling him as close as possible with every thrust. His teeth gently dragged across the skin of her shoulder as he moaned her name. He was getting close to the edge and he needed her to finish before him.
“Are you close?” he asked.
“Yeah Bucky,” she moaned as he picked up the pace.
Biting her bottom lip, she rolled her back moaning. Her fingers dug into his tone butt pulling him closer. With a few more thrust he pushed her over the edge. Her hands moved from his but up to his face pulling him closer to her so she could kiss him as she rode out her high. She moaned into his kiss as he rolled his hips a few times before hitting his own high. With a couple sloppy thrust he rode out his high before stilling his hips as he kissed. Pulling away from her he rolled off her and laid on the bed next to her. Silently he discarded the condom, and reached over to pulled her curvy body close to him.
She was left in a dazed state as she curled up next to him.
“Don’t ever leave me again,” she whispered as she was coming down from her high.
“I won’t ever let anything take me away from you again,” he leaned down and pressed his lips to the top of her head.
All my taglist are open. Let me know if you want to be tagged in the Steve Little Mermaid Modern day AU story.

Burnt Pasta
ONESHOT, Marvel Cinematic Universe!AU CHARACTERS: Female Reader x BTS A/N: With Avengers Endgame coming up soon, and with a weird need for angst/the weight of an anvil crushing my poor heart and feelings, I decided to write a small one shot on the events at the end of Infinity War. It’s not great, I haven’t written in so long, but I hope you enjoy. Warnings: Angst, Death, Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War.
It was an ordinary day. That’s all it was.
“Ah! Stop!” She called out, reaching as high as she could. Alas, it was all for naught, as the television remote was well and truly lost from her reach. Hoseok chuckled while watched her reach, poking her side teasingly while her arms were outstretched.
“I had to stand on a chair to get it up there, what makes you think you’ll reach it!” He wheezed out, his chuckling only growing as she now resorted to tiny jumps.
“Don’t make me tell Yoongi you’re being mean,” it was delivered with a pout and crossed arms, but it did nothing to convince Hoseok.
“I’ll tell him myself, you watch. He’ll just laugh as well!”
“Hosoek’s right,” a voice from behind chimed in, clad in a cream long sleeve and the sleepiest of eyes.
“Min Yoongi, tell Jung Hoseok that he will give me the television remote, otherwise he can kiss tonight’s pasta dinner goodbye”.
Shock, fear, anxiousness all crosses Hoseok’s face simultaneously.
“No, not the pasta...”
It was an ordinary today. That’s what it was supposed to be.
The couch sunk with the weight of three; Hoseok, Yoongi and yourself. The simple humour of the variety show the three of them viewed left giggles on the lips of both her and Hoseok’s lips, and Yoongi simply bathed in the happiness shared while scrolling through his phone.
The sun had started its descent into the horizon, and the kitchen was imbued with the smell of a simmering carbonara. All seemed well.
But all was not well. While her laughter mingled with Hoseok’s, keeping it on the lower side in respect for the others in the dorm, the gentle and content smile on Yoongi’s face dropped, in a matter of seconds. It was, instead, replaced with a frown, and he kept his attention on his phone while his hand searched for the tv remote, an uknown eagerness to change channels confusing the two in his company. Once his fingers found it, he hastily changed the channel, all the while earning a look of puzzlement from the two beside him.
“What’s going on Yoongi?” Hoseok dared to enquire, but was answered only with the sounds from the news program Yoongi had rushed to put on. Yoongi watched on, needing clarification to what it was that had torn the smile from his lips.
Horrifying sounds echoed in the living room.
Those sounds were screams.
Her eyes were glued to the screen. Hoseok’s eyes soon joined, and all three of them were silent, watching what was unfolding on tv.
What was unfolding, it seemed, was the world.
What was happening? Footage of people shattering into nothingness was plastered across the screen, and none of the three of them could understand what it meant, or if it was even real.
So drawn in, were they, that she did not notice the cough from the smaller male beside her. The groan.
It was only when his hand clutched her leg that she turned, her eyes darting across his body while her lip quivered in a raw dread she’d never experienced before.
“Help...” Yoongi whispered, his other hand occupied in Hoseok’s, holding on for his life.
A life that is slipping away before her eyes.
“Yoongi? Yoongi?!” Her voice is choked and hoarse, her fingers latching onto his shoulders. The pale hand on her leg slowly gave up pressure, as he releases her. She looks to his other hand, and Hoseok’s hand.
Only their hands aren’t there anymore.
He hadn’t let go of her, or Hoseok.
He had withered away, Hoseok right along side him.
“Hoseok?!”
It’s only then she realises they’re both following the same fate.
They were both disappearing.
“GUYS?!”
She fell to her knees before the both of them, taking any part of them she can get a grip on, tears streaking her face and wails ripping through her lungs and throat.
“Namjoon! Help!” She can do nothing but scream, unable to think of anybody else.
Of anything else.
Eyes jumping from Hoseok, to Yoongi, back to Hoseok all the while. Their eyes mirrored her own- agony, bewilderment, terror.
Before she can get a reply from Namjoon, or anyone, before she can think, or scream, or cry a second more...
They were gone.
Just like that, they were dust in the wind, in the most literal sense. She was covered in them, what they had become, and her trembling threatened to destroy her entire being.
She could not say for sure what it was that took hold of her body, willed her to get up and move despite wanting nothing more than to crumble to the ground where they had done the same. She was surprisingly quick in moving, as if the spot she had been moment before burnt her skin and sent shockwaves through her system.
She fumbled for the walls to steady herself, her legs threatening to give in.
“Namjoon!”
“Jimin!”
“J-“
In the hallway, Jungkook emerged from a door. His eyes were glassed over, endless little rivers of tears staining his smooth cheeks and a flushed red embracing his entire face. He grasped her arms harshly, unsure if she too would become unsteady, would fall apart between his fingers and exist no more. He was in the same panicked state as her, instantly traumatised by the collapsing of the world around him.
“H-he was there, one moment, he w-was talking to me and th- the next h-he-“ was all Jungkook could stammer out, failing to mention who he was talking about in his tear-wracked blubbers.
He didn’t get the chance to speak a word more before a call rung through the walls.
Jungkook fell silent.
Someone shouted his name. Then another spoke hers. Then the first called Namjoon’s.
“Jimin! Taehyung” She repsonded while rushing to the source, flinging open a door, Jimin’s bedroom door. He was staring at his hands, as his fingertips disconnected, drifted. He was watching himself slowly fade. As was Taehyung, who had been sitting on Jimin’s bed, the two conversing before Jimin’s proclamation of feeling ‘uneasy’.
“What...?” Jimin whispered.
He was standing in the centre of his room, three pairs of eyes glued onto his body. Soon, however, his legs trembled and he could stand no more.
Taehyung, sensing he was going down, made a reach for him, his arms wrapped around his brother, one of his six soulmates.
“Jimin?!” Taehyung shouted, his eyes searching Jimin’s face for answers, and then hers, and then Jungkook’s.
She reached for the both of them, Jimin’s name on the top of her tongue, Jungkook following right behind.
But it took seconds.
Just as fast as the others, he was no longer.
One moment a smile, an ethereal chime of laughter.
The next?
Nothing.
Again, her body took over. She didn’t know what for, what she thought she could do. Truth be told, she wasn’t really thinking at all. She was stumbling, lost for words and emotions, wondering if everything she was seeing was some sick dream.
She didn’t waste time in turning around and exiting the room, missing the way Jungkook fell to his knees, emptying what remained of his heart and his tears into the space around, along with Taehyung. Their sobs haunted her from the moment they filled the apartment, so much so that she didn’t recognise the sound of her own.
Or those of Namjoon’s.
She had turned into the door Jungkook had come from, and was met with the sight of Namjoon kneeled beside a scattering of ash. The remnants of who could only be Jin.
Everyone else was gone or watched on as they survived and their brothers did not.
Jin must have been who Jungkook witnessed go first.
Namjoon’s eyes reached her gaze, his weeping silent, unbelieving, and all consuming. He felt as if his entirety become nothing more than grief.
Namjoon had heard everything.
He heard her cries for Yoongi and Hoseok.
He watched the way Jin’s skin peeled from his face and then his face peeled from his body, resembling the decaying pages of an old book.
He heard the anguish felt by the two of his remaining younger brothers and best friends, mourning their third in the young line of friends.
He had heard his family fall apart.
She had watched them all drift away.
Finally, realisation crashed upon her lungs like a tidal wave, drowned her breathing in a pressure that seared and burned. Her eyes were hot with tears she couldn’t stop from flowing, her chest heaving with the struggle of just breathing.
“No, no no no n- no,” she chanted.
She backed up. When her body collided with the wall, she felt as if she was cracking, breaking, shattering.
She collapsed. And she cried, and cried and cried.
They all did.
All night the apartment was filled with the torture of those who had lost their shared loved ones to an unknown force. The passionate pain of lost life, the feeling of death settling into the fragile bones of everyone under the one roof.
All accompanied by the smell of burnt pasta.

“Stark’s Shadow” Fanfic/Oneshot/Headcanon thing I wrote?
Characters: Tony Stark and a daughter character I made up ‘cause Morgan didn’t exist yet. JARVIS is also there.
Summary: Tony Stark and his daughter Avery have the dream father-daughter relationship. After starting early at MIT, just like her father, Tony notices that something seems wrong with Avery, and the answer surprises him a little. Avery’s birthday’s in a few days, so Tony decides to show her present early to cheer her up.
Warnings: Nothing super intense - there’s a bit of angst. Mentions of Tony being promiscuous in the past.
Important notes about this Marvel AU I have in my brain: - IW/Endgame haven’t and won’t happen.  - Pepper and Tony got together, but not for a very long time. Pepper left Tony completely shortly after the events of Ironman 3 - Tony didn’t destroy his Iron legion nor did he have his arc reactor heart removed - I made up something called the “New Avengers” project just for the hell of it but I feel like it’s explained well enough
Author’s Note: Idk this was just an idea dump that I kinda fell in love with so I hope you guys enjoy? Lmk if you want me to write more? Feedback’s appreciated? ALSO - I WROTE THIS BEFORE ENDGAME HIT. THAT’S WHY I DIDN’T JUST USE AN OLDER VERSION OF MORGAN OR WHATEVER. I WROTE THIS TO HELP MYSELF SUFFER THROUGH THE EVENTS OF INFINITY WAR AND I’Ve evidently picked it up again to help myself through Endgame so enjoy?
Tumblr media
Tony sat in his living room, tinkering with a new, prototype helmet as he waited for the door to open. The house was quiet, nothing but the sound of the fountain in the entrance hall, metallic clicks and clangs from the project Tony was working on, and the constant quiet whirring of the thousands of machines in the Stark building was to be heard. Soon enough, Tony heard a new sound, a modern doorbell and JARVIS’s voice alerting him that his daughter had arrived home, just on time. Tony stood up with a huge smile, and went into the entrance hall, welcoming his child home with a small “Hey, kid.”
Avery glanced up at her father and gave him a small smile. Still, Tony noticed that her green eyes were missing their normal sparkle, and her usually confident stride was replaced with that of a heartbroken child.
“Hey, dad,” she replied in a voice near silence, before trying to casually trudge away. Tony stopped her by quickly stepping into her path and putting a hand on her shoulder.
“Wait, what’s up?” he asked in a calmer tone, suddenly worried for his young prodigy. He knelt down as to look up into her eyes. Avery took a long breath in, and was silent for a second, before grinning and shrugging.
“Nothing, dad. I’m tired is all – first month at MIT is way different from what I’m used to, y’know?” she laughed.
Tony knew his daughter was lying, but he still gave her shoulder a squeeze and smiled back, saying “You worried me there for a second, thought you were about to tell me it’s too easy for you... Or that you miss my lectures.”
“It’s not too easy,” Avery said, blushing embarrassedly and wiping her dad’s hand from her shoulder, “and I’m having a great time in real lectures with other... People.”
Tony laughed and stood up, “It’s okay to admit it, it was easy for me too.”
She seemed to falter for a minute, and looked like she was about to say something but stopped. She shook it off and gave him one last grin before starting back off to her room.
“I’ll be working so if you need me, just let JARVIS know!” Tony called as he went toward the stairs down to his lab, picking up the helmet he’d been working on on his way down.
Once he got down there, he collapsed into one of his seats. Something was VERY wrong with Avery, and for once – Tony didn’t know how to fix it. He looked at a series of pictures on his desk – one was from last year, a thirteen-year-old Avery wearing a party hat posing with the Avengers (also wearing party hats on top of their costumes) and a poster in the background with the words “HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVERY!” written across it in huge letters. Beside it was a picture of Tony and his daughter dancing at one of the many red carpet events they went to together. She was only ten and standing on her dad’s feet as they danced among all the adults. Another photo showed a seven-year-old Avery wearing an extremely oversized Iron-man helmet while sitting on Tony’s shoulders, Tony being in a full Iron-man suit, save the helmet. The final photo was of him holding his newborn baby with none other than Pepper Potts holding the child’s hand. Pepper had left when Avery was incredibly young, and Tony had been left to raise his daughter alone. Avery was the only girl in his life – and Tony discovered that that’s all he really needed. The pair were inseparable. Recently, however, Avery’s been different. She’s been more distant ever since she started her early scholarship at MIT. Tony had just been assuming it was a boy and that she’d tell him when she was ready, but he’d been getting more and more unsure as days turned to weeks. What had happened?
He slammed the photo of Pepper's face down on the table as JARVIS’s voice cut through his reminiscing.
“Sorry sir, but Avery’s having something of a breakdown – one to rival even your worst moments. Most of the smashing has calmed down, but the crying has not subsided no matter how much consolation I offer – she has also requested that I not tell you any of this, but I feel that you’re the only one who can fix her emotional state.”
Tony rolled his eyes, “What makes you think that?”
“Well, bec-” JARVIS started, but Tony was already standing up.
“Save it. Just give us some privacy for a second, would you?”
JARVIS fell silent, and Tony began the slow walk upstairs to his daughter’s room.
Tony stood outside of Avery’s door and took a deep breath before knocking.
“Avery?” he asked. There was no response.
He slowly opened the door to see Avery laying on her bed facing the ceiling, with one hand draped across her waist and the other by her side. She took no notice of her dad. School supplies and various other items lay scattered and broken around the room. Tony carefully stepped over everything and gently lay down beside his daughter, facing the ceiling with his hands clasped together over his waist. Avery made no objection.
The pair lay in silence for a while, before Tony sighed.
“What’s his name?” he asked, turning his head to look at Avery. Avery continued to stare at the ceiling, but Tony saw a puzzled look cross her face.
“Whose name?” she murmured.
“The boy,” Tony replied.
“Which boy?”
Tony sighed again, pushing the heels of his palms into his eyes as he tried to think of the best way to approach this. He accidentally whispered his private thoughts aloud, saying:
“This was meant to be Pepper’s job.”
“Well Pepper isn’t here,” Avery shot back, bitterly.
“That’s MOM to you,” Tony responded sharply without thinking, before quickly relaxing again.
“That’s Miss Potts to you.”
Tony was quiet for a second, before trying again.
“Look, just tell me which boy is giving you trouble – I want to help you, you know I do but-”
“Anthony,” Avery suddenly said, “his name’s Anthony. Anthony Stark.”
Tony was taken aback.
“You’re mad at me?” he asked, quietly. Avery sat up and hugged her knees into her chest, Tony rolled onto his side and propped himself up on one elbow. His daughter still refused to make eye contact with him, but he didn’t look away from her.
“I don’t know,” she started, “I’m not MAD I’m just... tired. I’m smart, I know I am, but it’s getting harder and harder to fill your shoes, dad,” Avery finally confided. She threw her hands in the air and slumped back down to her original position.
“Everywhere I go on campus, there’ll be a plaque or a trophy or an awards board with your name or picture on it! Everybody holds even higher expectations from me because I’m YOUR daughter. Hell, half of the teachers there remember when you were their student and the other half were students that you banged back when you were there and now they’re PROFESSORS! And if that’s not the case, they WANT to be someone who was in that position. Even some of the students in my class have huge crushes on you.”
“Ew,” Tony murmured.
“I know,” Avery said, looking across at her dad for the first time since he came in, “and now I’m questioning my own abilities! Like, if I can’t be just as good as you then I feel like everyone will judge me and I’ll be a huge failure and you’ll... and... and...”
Avery curled up in a ball again without bothering to sit up, and Tony knew she was about to cry.
“Hey, hey, it’s alright,” he began, putting his free arm around the girl, “I get that you’re probably feeling the pressure, and I’m sorry you had to grow up more or less in my shadow. And I’m sorry that it seems like everyone only knows you through me. I know that it’s scary enough having to get into college before you’re even sixteen, and having everyone be so much older than you and dumber than you is probably tough, but you have to remember that you’re one of the smartest people I know, and in no time at all, you’ll probably surpass even the likes of me.”
“You’re my daughter, Avery. Not only that, you’re my best friend. I want you to know that...” Tony picked his next words very carefully. The words that he’d never heard from his own father.
“I’m proud of you, Avery. I’m so proud to be Tony Stark, father of Avery Stark. I love you so much, and I know you’re going to do great things. So great that one day I’ll be a footnote in your successes. First, you just need to get through this, and you’ll be on your way.”
Avery was sobbing at this point. She let go of her knees and wrapped her arms around her dad, burying her face in his chest and resting her head against the softly glowing arc reactor. Tony hugged her tightly with one arm, before slowly laying himself down properly and wrapping his other arm around the small girl as well. Memories flooded back of all the times she’d cried over the years and Tony would have to hold her till she felt better. Memories of him coming back after fighting and her clinging to him like she hadn’t seen him for years. He took a deep breath and let his eyes close, drowning himself in those memories. He thought back to when Pepper had first left and he was alone with a tiny Avery, her childish innocence and happiness contrasting to his immeasurable pain. Her obliviousness to their situation had helped Tony pull himself back together and become the father she needed. He tightened his grip, fragments of memories of him soothing her nightmares, her laughing and giggling and lighting up even his worst days played through his mind. He was so grateful for her. She meant the entire world to him and more. 
Slowly but surely, she was calming down. Sure, she still hiding her face in his chest, but he could tell.
“Hey, you want to go for a trip?” Tony asked quietly after Avery’s sobs had turned to sniffles.
“Wh-where?” Avery asked, looking up at her dad with tear-stained eyes.
Tony bit his lip, before gently unravelling himself from the hug and standing up.
“Flying,” he said, nonchalantly.
“But, isn’t 48 damaged?” Avery muttered, confused.
Because Tony’s newest suit, mark XLVIII, was made of nanobot technology, it was the only suit he had that could fit Avery due to her height and figure. Normally when they went out, he’d use an older suit and let her use Bleeding Edge – but today he had a better plan. Instead of making more nanobots for his broken armour, he’d been busy setting up something else.
Tony bit his lip before grinning excitedly
“I’ve got to show you something,” he said, holding his hand out to Avery. Avery sat up on the bed and swung her legs over the edge. She looked at her dad’s outstretched hand, then at him, and snorted. She lightly bat his hand away. And he quickly straightened his jacket, clearing his throat.
“That’s not the first time I’ve been horribly rejected by a woman,” he said, looking away and pretending to sniffle. Avery rolled her eyes and stood up.
“What do you want to show me?” she asked slyly.
“It’s in the lab,” Tony said. Avery nodded, before bolting to the door.
“LAST ONE TO THE LAB IS DOCTOR STRANGE!” she laughed.
Tony immediately chased her out of the room and down the hall, but he was no match for her, as she’d already hit the staircase before he had even made it to the living room.
“JARVIS! STOP AVERY FROM GETTING INTO THE LAB BEFORE ME!” he yelled, loud enough for Avery to hear.
“Certainly, sir,” JARVIS replied, and almost immediately, Tony heard Avery screaming. He laughed as he slowed to a walk, and as he got to the bottom of the stairs, he saw his Mark XLVI suit of armour, hovering above the ground.
“Sorry, kid. It’s called parenting,” he grinned at the armour.
“Screw you, dad. You just didn’t want to be Doctor Stephen,” came Avery’s voice from inside, “also, you’ve really got to clean this suit. It smells like blood, sweat, tears and piss.”
“Guess what it’s full of, kid. And hey – language.”
Tony knocked on the chest and the suit opened up, a slightly startled Avery fell out, but Tony caught her, and set her down.
“That’s disgusting, Uncle Steve.” Avery rolled her eyes at her dad, who snorted.
The suit dropped to the ground and walked itself back into its display case, where it powered down.
"Look at you, not letting Cap forget dumb things he said that you didn't even witness. You really are my daughter," Tony murmured.
"Judging by your history, I'd be less surprised to find out Pepper Potts isn't my mother," Avery shot back with a small smile, “you got around so much that I’m sure the laws of biology could’ve been broken.”
"Hey," Tony began, trying to hide his smile as he held up a disapproving finger, "first of all, your mother is absolutely Pepper Potts. I witnessed your birth in horrible detail. Besides, nobody else would be crazy enough to insist your second name be 'Justice.' Second of all, you know nothing about my past. At all. Too young. I'll tell you when you're 45."
"Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. That was your self-officiated title, wasn't it?" Avery said, dragging out the word 'playboy'.
Tony cleared his throat, dropped his hands to his sides and stared his daughter in the eye for a moment. She stared back with an evil smirk.
"You know far too much," Tony said, straightening his suit jacket again and shaking his head. Avery simply giggled. Tony quickly moved and stood behind Avery, covering her eyes. She groaned annoyedly.
“Really, dad?”
“It’s a surprise, honey. Relax.”
Tony lead his daughter into the lab, and noticed that the “surprise” wasn’t assembled. He let out a sharp whistle.
“JARVIS, please could you assemble the uh, birthday present?” he muttered.
“But sir, Avery’s birthday isn’t for another two days.”
“A birthday present?” Avery murmured.
“Just assemble it, bud,” Tony said to the AI, ignoring Avery’s confusion.
All Avery heard was whirring, whooshing, clicking and clanging.
“You ready?” Tony asked Avery, bending down so he could whisper it in her ear.
“You know I am,” she responded eagerly.
“Happy birthday,” Tony said, moving his hands. Avery clasped her hand over her mouth and gasped. Tears sprung to her eyes as she moved toward the Iron suit in front of her.
It was an exact replica of her father’s Mark XLVIII, but smaller and more feminine.
“It’s the newest nanobot tech, even better than mine – for now. I’ve called it the AVS-I,” Tony smiled as his daughter examined the suit, “stands for Avery Stark – of course.”
Avery was stunned. Never did she think she’d be a REAL part of this aspect of her dad’s life, though she’d always wanted to be.
She tore her eyes away from the armour to look back at her father, who was beaming at her. She wiped a few happy tears and ran at Tony, jumping on him, throwing her arms around his neck and holding on tightly. Tony stumbled a little, but managed to keep his balance as he held his little girl close.
“Thank you so much, dad,” she whispered.
“You’re getting a little bit big for this, you know that?” he murmured, but truthfully he didn’t mind. He laughed as she gripped him tighter. Slowly, he put her back down, Avery’s grip loosened, but something was wrong, so Tony continued to hold her close by the shoulders, looking into her eyes as she stared at the ground looking puzzled for a moment.
“Wait, but what about Riri?” Avery asked, looking back up at her dad.
“Who?” Tony asked, confused. He let go of his daughter and looked around his lab as if it’d give him a hint.
“Riri Williams, sir,” JARVIS cut in, “a brilliant seventeen-year-old girl who was enlisted in the Ironheart program three years ago.”
“Oh, she’s been fired. She failed her final test,” Tony said dismissively, looking back at the armour.
“What’s the Ironheart project? And what was the final test?” Avery asked, shoving her hands in her hoodie pockets and turning her attention back to the armour as well.
“The Ironheart program was SHIELD’s idea,” Tony began, gazing at the suit, “a subdivision of a ‘New Avengers’ project. A type of “gifted youths” thing. Taking kids with abnormal abilities and sort of testing their skills to see if they should take SHIELD classes. Riri Williams, fifteen at the time, was above average brilliant. She was enlisted in my subdivision of the program where I’d test her mental capacities to see how good of a mechanic, engineer and scientist she was. She was incredible, true, but she failed to recreate a full suit of functioning Iron-man armour. Plus, she failed in the fact that I didn’t like her much.”
Avery nodded, “I always thought she was meant to be a replacement for me.”
Tony’s gaze didn’t shift from the armour, but he put an arm around her shoulders.
“Never. I didn’t want to use you because I didn’t want you to be in danger.”
Avery looked up at her dad for a second, before looking back at the armour and leaning her head against him.
“I love it,” she whispered, “thank you so much.”
Tony spent a moment in comfortable silence with his daughter. He could tell how happy she was with the gift, and that made him smile.
“Try it on, I want to make sure it doesn’t implode on the wearer,” he grinned, tapping her on the back and nodding towards the armour. Avery smiled widely at him before moving towards the armour.
“JARVIS, enable embarrassing parent mode,” Tony said nonchalantly. Avery shot him a passive-aggressive grin and he simply waved back.
“Cameras are recording, sir,” JARVIS responded immediately.
Avery gingerly touched the armour, before looking back at her dad. He motioned for her to go on, before tapping the centre of his own arc reactor. Avery nodded, took two fingers and double-tapped the dark arc reactor in the centre of the suit. It immediately began to glow and the suit began to dematerialise until only the back half remained. Grinning widely, Avery got into position before stepping backwards into the armour. The nanobots began re-materialising around her, and soon enough she was covered head to toe in her own armour.
The helmet clamped shut over her face and the eyes glowed blue as Avery squealed. Tony felt himself beaming – he was so proud. Avery looked down at her hands, clenched them into fists, twisted them about. Then her feet, she stomped around a little, jumped up and down. She slammed her hands down on her stomach and chest and ran her hands down her shoulders and arms.
She looked up at her dad.
“This is SO cool,” she said – her voice sounded slightly digitalised as it came out.
“Oh, by the way,” Tony began, looking at his nails with a smirk as Avery gazed up at him, curious, “did I mention you can change the colours?”
Avery let out another squeal which quickly turned to laughter.
Tony was looking forward to their first flight.

stony fic recs!
I know after Infinity War many of us are looking for fics to cheer us up, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite Steve/Tony fics! I’m always looking for more, so if you have any recs, feel free to leave a comment! For my other rec lists, look here. 
SOULMATES
Soul Bomb (T | 1944 words by copperbadge) 
Suddenly everyone in Manhattan has someone else's voice in their head. Tony got Steve's, for his sins.
Stand Back, I'm Going To Try Science (T | 2123 words by Good_News_Everyone)
Soulmates are a rare and cherished thing, a simple touch of hands bringing love that lasts forever. By all the rules of romance, they're meant to wait for each other and to trust in the vagaries of fate to bring them together.
Tony's never been good at waiting, and when he has science on his side, who needs fate?
When I Think (Oh, it Terrifies Me) (E | 8641 words by celli)
Look, some mornings you wake up and little green men are invading New York City; some mornings you wake up and you can hear Captain America's voice in your head. Tony has been an Avenger long enough that he saves his freakout for important things.
FLUFF
Tony Stark and the Super Sleeper, or actually, Soldier (T | 3836 words by RurouniHime)
The one where Steve keeps falling asleep on Tony.
Truth (E | 7265 words by valtyr)

Toasted Buns (E | 47044 words by copperbadge, scifigirl47)
After seeing Tony naked and tanned -- all over -- in a decontamination shower, Steve realizes he may be in trouble. Tony, meanwhile, is definitely in trouble over those tabloid pictures of him sunbathing nude. The solution is clearly a tropical island getaway.
Indecent Proposal (T | 2592 words by gyzym, Siria)
On the plus side, marriage is bound to be easier than proposing.
we should just kiss like real people do
(T | 3102 words by theappleppielifestyle)
Hoodie-guy stops in front of Steve just as he snaps, “FINE, I want to bang Tony Stark like a screen door in a hurricane, could we drop it now?”
How To Be a Truly Terrible Wingman (M | 11721 words by Wordsplat)
Prompt: "We were both playing wingman for our friends who have now decided to go home together, and after five minutes of conversation we fucking hate each other. Let’s bang it out."
Hashtag Finally (T | 15208 words by Wordsplat)
Tony doesn't ever actually ask the Avengers to move into his house, steal his wifi, eat all his food, and become the best family he's ever known. They do it anyway.
The Forever-Nighter (T | 3093 words by Wordsplat)
When Rhodey decides that Tony's been slacking lately and drags him along to the gym, Tony's fully prepared to duck right back out the door the first time Rhodey turns around. Then he sees Hot Blond Guy.
Wanderer (M | 1676 words by 51stCenturyFox)
Tony jerks away like he's awakened to find himself taunting an alligator with a raw chicken, and almost falls on the floor."You sleepwalked," Steve says, stating the obvious,"into my bed."
Captain !@#$*%& America (T | 8093 words by Wordsplat)
The first time Tony hears Steve swear, he's pretty sure it's a dream. The second time is a lot harder to dismiss, considering it's the middle of the afternoon and they're both clearly awake. After that, what else can Tony do but use science to get to the bottom of it?
TONY AND THE BOTS
Rom-Commed By Fate (Or JARVIS) (E | 14387 words by leashy_bebes)
The best thing about being an Artificial Intelligence is the ability to parse, filter and modify the things people say until you've got the cause to do exactly what you wanted in the first place. Or, in which JARVIS cock blocks Tony into having an actual relationship.
Run Program: DUM-E (M | 11223 words by Amuly)
Taking care of Tony is a lot of work. Especially when you’ve only got one arm. And your code dates back to the 1980s.
Run Program: LIFE (M | 8505 words by Amuly)
DUM-E's family keeps getting bigger every day. Times ahead may be hard, but DUM-E knows he's up to the job of taking care of them all.
The Act of Creation Will Be Your Salvation (M | 84678 words by scifigirl47)
When Tony Stark was seventeen years old, he built his first AI. On that day, he ceased to be his father's creation, and became a creating force in his own right.That one act likely saved his life, and not always in the most obvious ways.

Meet Your Heroes (M | 3321 words by Wordsplat)
Tony gets rescued by a highly concerned, very handsy Captain America. This is confusing for a number of reasons.
I (created from fantasies) exist solely for you (T | 5595 words by Mizzy)
Six years ago, without the Avengers Initiative there to save the day, scientist Dr. Eric Selvig sacrificed himself to save the world, the almighty demi-god Thor was lost to a terrible storm, and vigilante Iron Man – spotted with a nuclear weapon trying to take advantage of the situation – was forever labelled an enemy of SHIELD.This is a comic book office AU, where Steve is defrosted a year too late, Thor has forgotten who he is, and no one knows Tony is Iron Man.Also includes: office pranks, inappropriate post-it notes, and superheroes who like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
How To Excel At Supervillainy (and lose your heart to America) (E | 13531 words by Zekkass)
And that's how Tony's supervillainy hobby got way way way complicated.
TIME TRAVEL/MULTIVERSE
A New Way For Us (M | 24435 words by ann2who)
They fight Thanos—and they’re losing. And before Tony knows what’s happening, he’s standing with Doctor Strange in front of the Eye of Agamotto and gets send back in time. Can he find a way to fix things this time around, or are they doomed to fall apart all over again?
The Twice-Told Tale
(E | 15789 words by arysteia)
For someone he'd hero-worshipped for so long, Steve Rogers in the flesh is a pretty big disappointment. For one thing, he keeps looking at Tony as though he reminds him of someone else, and even if he never says anything, Tony's pretty sure it's his father. A lifetime of not measuring up to Howard's expectations is more than enough, thank you very much, and he's certainly not going to make an effort to live up to any of Steve's. Steve's pretty clearly failed to live up to his expectations, in any case, and that's not hypocritical at all.
