MOIJNAR

Bruce Banner/Thor & Love for @bruceweek 2023 💚

'How do you spell Mjolnir?'

Bruce looks up from his laptop. Love sits opposite him at the kitchen table, pink glitter gel pen poised over the paper. She quickly covers her work when he leans over, but he glimpses a drawing of them all holding hands. Warmth fills his chest. Only a year ago, Thor had returned to New Asgard with a child resurrected by Eternity, bound by a promise to keep her safe. It hadn’t been easy, but they’d made it work.

‘Hello? Bruce?’ Love waves at him.

Bruce blinks. ‘Sorry, what did you say?’

‘Mjolnir. How do you spell it?’ She taps her pen against her chin.

‘M-O-I-J-N-A-R.’

‘Thanks.’

Bruce returns to his spreadsheet and fills in a few cells. Then stops. ‘Wait. Hang on. That’s not right.’

Love groans. ‘Aww, now I have to cross it out!’

There’s a chuckle behind them. Thor is slicing up vegetables for soup. After a lifetime of being waited on by Asgard’s finest, he’s learnt to enjoy cooking. ‘It is a difficult word to spell.’

Second piece for Bruceweek 2023, prompts Memory/Reunion. Reunion is a bit flimsy but it leads to memory so it counts. I'm stupidly proud of the face and sleeve. The book piles took surprisingly long but the effort paid of to me.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes on ao3

Pairing: The Avengers & Bruce Banner

Event: Bruce Week 2023 || Prompt: Admiration

Tags: canon, domestic Avengers, the Daily Bugle, wholesome, comedy

Previous Part: An Exclusive with Dr Banner

Summary:

After reading the article posted by the Daily Bugle, Bruce still felt shitty despite his friends' attempts to cheer him up. The last place he expected a rebuttal to that interviewer's claims to come from was a coffee shop in Queens.

** technically, this is a last & really late extra submission for Bruce Week 2023, so i totally understand if it doesn't get reposted but wanted to try anyway! **

Excerpt:

The person he’s been hearing approaching finally shows up. Her braided hair is tied up on a bun, like he pictures her when he thinks of her.

“I heard Mexico’s the best tourist destination this summer,” Valkyrie greets him.

He chuckles, still looking at the table. “According to?”

Prompt Day #1: Seasons, Friendship

After the battle of New York is over, Bruce moves into Stark Tower - not Stark, it’s the Avengers Tower now. It takes some getting used to, but somewhere along the way, Bruce finds a new home.

*** So, I finally found time to write for Bruceweek 2023 (very late, I know). I totally understand if this doesn't get accepted anymore, but I just wanted to post it here.

Bruceweek 2023!

BRUCE BANNER APPRECIATION WEEK RETURNS!

HELLO FANS OF BRUCE BANNER!

From 2018 to 2021 we had a blast with Bruceweek - after a break, we are now back with Round Five full of love for Bruce and ready to celebrate him!

We would like the focus for Bruceweek to be on Bruce and less on Hulk. This year, we have made a change to the rules, and fan works with romantic content for any Bruce ships are now allowed and welcome. As usual, all friendships are also very welcome! Please respect everyone’s choices regarding romantic and platonic ship choices.

We will give two prompts a day for every day of Bruceweek, so you can choose yourself which prompt(s) you want to use.

WHEN

November 20th - November 26th 2023

WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR:

fanart

fanfiction

mood boards

edits

gif sets

meta

every content you created yourself

all universe versions of Bruce

CONTENT RULES

all kind of “dark” themes are allowed as long as they are tagged appropriately

stories focusing on romantic relationships and/or friendship  is fine, with Bruce as the focus

PROMPT LIST

Monday (November 20): Seasons, Friendship

Tuesday (November 21): Memory, Reunion

Wednesday (November 22): Battle, Dance

Thursday (November 23):Spell, Home

Friday (November 24): Ghosts, Transform

Saturday (November 25): Dream, Hero

Sunday (November 26): Adapt, Admiration

We’ll give you two prompts per day, but you don’t have to use both of them in your content (Though you are definitely welcome too, for an extra challenge!) Feel free to match up newer prompts with older ones as well if you’d like.

The prompts are here for inspiration. You don’t have to use them if you have other ideas, we will happily accept any Bruce content for this event as long as it properly tagged.

Our AO3 collection can be found here.

Official tags to follow all posts from us are #Bruceweek2023 and #bruceweek

Hello Bruce Banner Fans!

Not only are we still alive, we are also back with an interest check for Bruceweek in 2023!

We are sorry there was no event last year but we are going to make up for it this year, if you are still on board.

We are aiming for the Middle of November with more detailed info to come.

The Prodigal Nephew

After the Battle of New York, Bruce goes home. Bruce & Walters Fam for @bruceweek 2023 💚

For the second time that day, Bruce wakes up in a pile of rubble.

He breathes in the smell of freshly-mown grass, struggling to anchor himself as the aftermath of Hulk threatens to overwhelm him. He remembers metal bending in his hands, and Thor’s triumphant grin, and… nothing else.

Head spinning, Bruce sits up. He was lying in the remains of a wooden shed; a lawnmower is now a crumpled metal pancake beneath him. It’s afternoon – but whether it’s the same day, Bruce can’t be sure. He has no sense of time when the other guy takes over.

It takes him a few moments to realise that he knows this backyard. In fact, he spent years out here: sitting on the grass with a book, making snowmen with Jen, endless barbeques in the summer…

Bruce clambers to his feet and looks around in shock. He’s in LA. He’s home.

The back door opens and Morris Walters steps out, frowning in confusion. ‘What the hell is going – ‘ Then he sees Bruce. He stops.

A thousand thoughts flicker through Bruce’s head. He hasn’t had any contact with his family since the accident. They must have thought he’d abandoned them – or turned into a dangerous monster. This isn’t the most tactful way to tell them he’s still alive.

‘Hi, Uncle Morris,’ he whispers.

Morris drifts towards him, staring as if he’s afraid Bruce will disappear. It’s been seven years but he’s aged more than that – the moustache has remained, though. Aunt Elaine can never convince him to shave it.

An apology rises to Bruce’s lips. He shouldn’t have come here, shouldn’t have literally come crashing back into their lives – but Morris grabs him in a hug. ‘Good to see you, kiddo,’ he says tightly.

And Bruce understands that everything is going to be okay. He hides his face in Morris’ thick sweater and clings to him like he did when he was a kid. ‘I’m so sorry,’ he mumbles, ‘I missed you all so much…’

‘You’re here now. That’s all that matters.’

It's nearly five in the morning but the last picture for Bruceweek 2023 is finally done. Prompts were Admiration/Adapt. Bruce has been alone for a long time but he's had to adapt to working in a team. He's also clearly admired here. See how it all makes sense.

It's been literal years since I've drawn the OG6 in my style but I figured it was a fitting finale. I did say finishing everything would take me a month but it was honestly a joy. Got to experiment a bit and might've even learned something new. Also tried different style of lines here. Haven't decided what I think of them yet.

[bruceweek]

The poll results are in and very clear, you guys want another Bruceweek in 2023!

Since we have a little bit of time until it starts we thought we would give you the chance to decide which week works best for you.

Okay, I've been working on this embarrassingly long but it's finally done or at least I can't find any immediate problems with it. This is my piece for Bruceweek 2023 day 1 Seasons/Friendship. At this pace this will become Brucemonth for me but who's counting anyway.

For friends I chose Peter Parker, Tony Stark, Thor and Jennifer Walters. There were more options but these were the ones I landed on. Seasons are hopefully obvious.

My concentration is still taking a vacation so every piece after this will be equally as late but I have all rough sketches done so I at least have vague ideas ready to be worked on. This might be the most complicated one too so the others don't take as long individually (hopefully). Enjoy!

Pairing: Bruce & The Avengers

Word Count: 3.2k

Event: Bruce Week || Prompt: Friendship

Tags: Bruce has friends, wholesome, domestic avengers, platonic relationships, gen fic

Summary:

Seven years ago when Bruce was still on the run and feeling overwhelmingly alone, he would have laughed at anyone who told him what life would be like for him now. Hell, even five years ago when he first joined the Avengers he never would have seen this coming.
