@the-innumerable-heroes: "I'm not trying to baby you. It's called taking care of my friends."

DID THE TWO OF THEM KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FRIENDS? Of course they did. Everyone knew what it was like to have a friend, and if anyone was a friend to Anya, it was Jen. The two had been through more or less the same thing, and some might argue that Anya could help Jen. If she would only let herself believe that she could be of some help.

"Yeah . . . Yeah I know." Not many people were very good at reasoning with Anya, ( that little rage issue hydra fitted her with was something she was going to fight with her whole life. ) but Jen was on the incredibly short list. "Guess I'm just a little tired of being treated like a normal kid. Doesn't take a genius with an iron suit t'figure that one out."

@ihadnothing: As tired as Natasha was, she tiptoed into her child's room and crawled into Anya's bed, so she could hold her baby for a second after a hard mission.

"Hey, Peanut."

ANYA MISSED HER MOM WHEN SHE WENT ON MISSIONS. She knew she would always come back . . . but it didn't change that she missed her and her dad putting her to bed, or making her her favorite meal. More importantly though . . . She missed when they were there to make the bad days better. Still, she knew that each night she went to bed, she was just a little closer to them being home.

She'd done her bedtime routine already, her nanny having sent her off to bed. She had almost fallen asleep, when she felt her mom climbing into the bed with her. She smiled, before turning to face her. "Hi Mommy. Did the mission go well?"

@grimmusings: 🎄

For every 🎄 I get in my inbox, my muse will tell you one thing they want the most for Christmas.

"A motorcycle of my own. Do you know how awesome it would be to not need a ride from dad everywhere? Here, I circled it for you."

@viragotm: ❛   downfall .  (Anya) finds (Sara)  collapsed  on  the  ground .

SHE HADN'T EXPECTED SARA TO BE COLLAPSED AT THE DOOR OF HER APARTMENT. And she had to act quickly before someone saw her there. ( how long had she been collapsed there anyways? ) She dashed for where the woman laid in front of her door, giving her body a slight shake to try and rouse her awake.

Anya wasn't even sure how long it had been since she saw her, but that wasn't in the front of her mind. She needed to make sure she was okay first, before trying to figure out what she was doing there in the first place. "Hey! Hey come on get up." Her voice was gentle, but insistent. Hoping she could wake her before moving her. ( that would be ideal. )

@spideymn: Send 🫂 to just hug my muse. No reason. Hug them.

SHE HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO PREPARE FOR PETER TO WRAP HER INTO THE HUG. Smiling at the other with a bright smile that nearly went from ear to ear. She was in a good mood that day, a great sign considering on days when she wasn't having a good day, she might have stiffened up a little bit.

"You're in a good mood!" She declared, pulling away to look at him but still keeping her smile, even if it had gotten a little bit smaller. "You gonna keep me waiting or tell me?"

@rxbxljxxtforkxcks: " I suppose there's no point in asking why the house feels like a freezer anyways who are you and how did you get in my home"

TO BE HONEST, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HER FIRST CHOICE. She only really knew of her, by connection to Clint. But she needed help, and she needed to find Clint. Since he seemed to conveniently be in the wind ( because of course he was ) it meant she needed this Kate person.

"To be honest . . . I would handle this myself if I could." She admitted. Not answering the question Kate had asked after Anya had been the one to break into her apartment. "I'm trying to find Clint Barton. My mom's gone missing but . . . He also isn't able to be found so . . . Naturally I came to you for help." God she hoped this wasn't a bad idea.

@cheeseburgersandwarbirds: send me a number for my muse to talk about

9. someone they would like to befriend

"My dad told me about this princess he worked with in Wakanda. Says that she might be able t'help me with this whole problem I got with bein controlled, but that aside . . . She sounds like a pretty badass chick. I gotta meet her. I'm also pretty sure I'm supposed to be recruiting for the Young Avengers? But we never had an orientation so . . . " She shrugged her shoulders. She could probably figure that out. honorable mention to @marvelmyriad.

@blackhawkcomics: send me a number for my muse to talk about … 

7. someone they view as a mentor.

"I think it's pretty obvious who I'm about to talk about . . . considering the other one . . . Yeah , I'd rather not think about the one who took over after they put the Soldier back in Cryo." Anya shivered when she thought about him. Memories of the brutal training sessions that often left her shaking. "Anyways . . . No, I'm gonna talk about my Dad . . . Bucky." "He's taught me literally everything I know. Not only was he my actual mentor when HYDRA had us, but he also taught me a lot about what it was like to really live life. He'll say it's the other way around." She smiled, shaking her head. "He didn't go by Bucky when he was my mentor . . . But he's not really a fan of being called the Soldier, so I try not t'call him that. Accidents happen though. He's probably the most important person to me. Probably not gonna be a good day when something happens to him. honorable mention to @marvelmyriad.

11. someone they have romantic feelings toward.

" . . . . Uhhh romantic feelings?" She blushes, immediately thinking about how cute she looked coming over with all that food for their dumb movie night. Even the dogs got along . . . ( someone's waiting for you to actually say something Anya ) She chuckled, an obvious blush on her cheeks before she shook her head. "I'm not a very romantic person. I don't even think she thinks of me like that anyways . . ." ( oh my god did i just say that outloud?! ) honorable mention to @trckshct.

[awbarnes-no]

@redheadarcher: Look at you! You're spilling coffee.

"Yeah . . . Turns out Dad's not as quiet as he thinks he is when he's up all night cleaning guns cause he can't sleep." This one cup wasn't gonna be enough.

@dr-foster: 🎄

"Surprisingly my own Bucky Bear. Constantine chewed up my other one and I haven't been able t'find em. Better not've discontined 'em."

@vvolfstare: Send 💪 for my muse’s reaction to yours picking them up and throwing them over their shoulder.

"I did NOT need you to do that!" Okay, she absolutely needed him to do that in there. Anya had a temper, and she was going nowhere good with how the night had been going. One fight leading to another in a bar, and someone knowing who she was, and her dad had shown up, tossing her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and storming out with her flailing to get free. She never really could though. This had always been when he had her whenever they sparred.

Finally on the ground once more, she shot a slight grumpy look toward him. It had probably been for the best he had been called. If that particular fight had gone any worse, then she likely would have lost it on the asshole who's crime had been not taking no the first time, but trying his shot just once more. Proving that was a bad move.

Hi, hello! Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. I'm here today to offer you something. One of your writing partners wanted it to be known that you were on their mind. The opportunity arose for them to compliment someone and one of their first thoughts was you, your works and the energy you bring into their lives. It's all neatly summed up on this image here, with a direct quote from them about you and yours. I hope this reaches you well! I hope the rest of your year is amazing, and that this little mote of light coming your way helped to brighten it up some if it wasn't already shining. With all of our love and affection, GRACE.

this is . . . OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! i really needed to hear every bit of this, as lately i have been feeling a bit down about myself. my heart is so warm right now and i think i might cry tears of joy!

it's been a long road, a long year, and a lot of things have happened, that have nearly dashed my spirit completely, and diving into anya is what has been keeping me from just completely being consumed by the depression, so thank you so much for this. you have no idea how much of a positive impact this has had on me. *HUGS!*

anya means a whole heck of a lot to me. i know there's opinions around people making oc's that are basically inserts, but anya is one that i have put just as much of myself into as i have made her her own person. ( if grrm can base tyrion lannister off himself i can base anya off myself and feel no shame about it. )

to wrap this up, without making it too much longer . . . thank you so much for this shoutout! i have some of the best followers around and this is just proof of that. what an amazing ask to come back to after stepping away and feeling a bit drained. and @thehubb if this is from you, thank you my sweet! and if it's not . . . i would love the chance to formally thank you for the incredibly kind words!

"Hey, Barnes, can I get a hand here?" // @legacyprotected.

Anya had gotten plenty used to being the fly on the wall. She didn't mind. She liked being able to watch people from a safe distance , allowing her to get a good sense of the people in the room. When people did ask for her attention , or assistance , she was usually caught a little off guard. She straightened up , pushing off the wall she had been leaning against. ❝ Huh? Oh . . . Uh , sure. ❞ Once she approached the other girl , she looked over what she was doing. ❝ Whatcha need? ❞

@msmvrel: "hey, it's alright to let it out."

SHE WAS KICKING HERSELF THE MOMENT KAMALA NOTICED HER. Great, she hated it when she was spotted crying. She hated looking too weak. It was beside the point that the people here, the team she had . . . They didn't see her as weak, and if the did it wouldn't have mattered to them anyways.

Anya sniffled, moving her arm up to wipe away at her nose with her sleeve. She shrugged her shoulders, attempting to be cavalier about it in some way. "I'm fine, promise." A lie, of witch Anya sucked at doing.

@sarcasticsnackpack:  ‘  💔  ’   A  FUCKED  UP  KISSING  MEME ﹕12 .

IF SHE DIDN'T LOSE HIM NOW, SHE WAS JUST GOING TO LOSE HIM LATER. She was happy with Stiles. Really happy actually. But between the stirrings of HYDRA they were catching wind of . . . and the more specific ghosts of Anya's past began to catch up with her . . . It all just made more sense this way. She wasn't good at relationships anyways.

AND HURTING HIM THIS WAY WAS A LOT BETTER THAN THE OTHER WAY.

"I'm just no good at these things." A poor attempt to sound casual about the whole thing. Trying to avoid looking at him, because looking at him reminded her of what made her blush the first time. When she looked up to seal the deal, she faltered for a moment, her throat tight in that hesitation before she pressed forward, closing her eyes to save the ( pain ) or at least it being seen.

@vulpuslunae: 🎄🎄🎄

For every 🎄I get in my inbox, my muse will tell you one thing they want the most for Christmas.

"Well obviously HYDRA brought down to it's knees finally . . . That would be pretty awesome . . . For people to stop looking at me like I hate them but lets be honest, that would require me to stop glaring at them which is NEVER going to happen . . . And . . . For my dog to stop farting right before I fall sleep."
