Masterlist

In a quiet suburban enclave, Wanda Maximoff and the (Y/n) led a seemingly idyllic life. Their children, Billy and Tommy, filled their days with laughter and warmth. But beneath the façade of harmony, a storm brewed within the (Y/n)'s heart.

As the days passed, the (Y/n) found himself gravitating towards Bucky and Sam. Their camaraderie offered solace from the mounting tension at home. One evening, they collectively decided to seek refuge from their superhuman responsibilities at a nearby bar.

Within the cozy dimness of the bar, laughter and clinking glasses provided a brief respite. As the night unfolded, (Y/n)'s path crossed with Carol Danvers, a charismatic bartender. Her confidence and kindness were magnetic, drawing him into conversations that lingered far beyond closing time.

Days turned into weeks, and (Y/n) found himself visiting the bar more frequently, drawn to Carol's company like a moth to a flame. Their conversations shifted from casual banter to deep discussions, unearthing feelings he hadn't realized were dormant within him.

Yet, a nagging guilt tugged at his conscience. He was tethered to Wanda by a shared history and a family they had built together. (Y/n)'s internal struggle reached a breaking point during one fateful night at the bar. Drunk on both alcohol and the intoxicating aura of his newfound connection, he'd succumbed to temptation and spent the night with Carol.

Morning light brought clarity, but it also illuminated the wreckage of his actions. The (Y/n)'s heart pounded with regret as he gazed at the slumbering figure beside him. The weight of his betrayal settled like a heavy stone.

The truth unraveled in the days that followed. Wanda's grief and anger were palpable as she confronted (Y/n). Their home, once a sanctuary, became a battleground of accusations and shattered trust. Billy and Tommy, innocents caught in the crossfire, bore witness to the fragments of their parents' love.

Desperation led the (Y/n) to Bucky and Sam, seeking guidance amidst the wreckage. With their support, he came to terms with the irreversible damage he had wrought. Amidst the wreckage of his choices, he realized the gravity of his betrayal, not just to Wanda, but to the family they had created.

As the shattered pieces of their life lay scattered, (Y/n) stood at a crossroads. The ache of loss gnawed at his heart, driving him to face Carol. He confessed his feelings, baring his soul, but the foundation of their connection was fractured by the circumstances that had brought them together.

The story culminated in a final, bittersweet conversation between Wanda and (Y/n). Amidst the remnants of their shattered bond, they acknowledged their shared history and the pain that now defined it. (Y/n) was left with the weight of his choices, the scars of betrayal, and the somber realization that some wounds could never fully heal.

As the sun set on their suburban haven, (Y/n)'s reflections echoed in the empty spaces of his heart. The tale concluded not with closure, but with the haunting truth that even the most intimate connections could crumble under the weight of human frailty.

THE END

Following the events of Dark Queen, Jane and her crew have taken to the…

Dcxdp where Danny has been working with a hero team (did Bruce adopt him? Did he help the teen titans and got told to join them? Idk) for less than a year, maybe they knew eachother for longer, but Danny has been living with them for some months.

Now, I imagined this as a "Danny has to flee to a different dimension after a giw attack/reveal gone wrong" but it can work with other scenarios, the important thing is, death days are important for a ghost's wellbeing, but nobody knows/remembers Danny's deathday or that it's important to commemorate the dead. Maybe he hasn't told anyone yet cause he doesn't want to be a bother, or doesn't trust them enough yet.

So Danny takes the matter on his own hands, each year he goes to a quiet corner of the local graveyard, where he has a piece of marble and a small vase, he usually buys some flowers for his memorial grave and makes some fudge as an offering.

This year wasn't gonna be different, he told his team/family that he was gonna spend the day out, he chose an elegant but comfortable outfit, made some fudge, and saved it on the fridge with a note that said "phantom, do not eat".

The next part might work better with a young hero team, cause despite the note, someone took a bite of the fudge for breakfast.

Danny clearly gets mad, they didn't know, but they just ate an offering, a great offense to the dead it was offered to.

It all ends in a big fight, Danny doesn't want to admit that it was an offering for himself (it just hurts to admit that nobody remembers his death), and the other person thinks he's just having a tantrum over some fudge, like, c'mon, they can make you some if it's SO important to you 😒

And I don't know how to end it cause it came to me while falling asleep and don't remember more T-T

Zuko and Azula in "The Beach"

Lately I think a lot about "The Beach" episode [x], especially about this small detail of great teamwork Zuko and Azula have during the game.

Zuko is looking ahead, directly facing their rivals (who had the control of the ball at this moment) but his body is clearly lowered to the ground, left hand most likely touching the ground, legs bent and widely spaced - a clear contrast to Mai standing near and how he stood before on two separate occasions

which is why I think Zuko willingly create an opportunity for Azula, so she could jump higher - something she definitely used to their team’s advantage. If Azula simply jumped on her brother’s back when he wasn’t expecting it or wasn’t ready, he would probably just fall face down from the impact but as the scene shows, he had no such problem nor was angry about it in the following scenes.

During the game sequences there was no dialogue shown between our protagonists, so it is hard to determine if Azula in advance called Zuko to give her a “lift” or Zuko offered on his own, or did they were that much in sync they just acted without thinking. Regardless I like this few seconds long interaction, because for me it implies how they trusted each other despite all the rivalry and bitterness from previous episodes. Like Zuko trusted Azula won’t use that moment to hurt/humiliate him by overuse of force, the same as Azula trusted in Zuko’s strength and that he won’t mess up by losing his balance. It is a small thing but no less sweet to see them working well together when fighting for the same goal - what reminds me a bit their teamwork from the previous season finale.

Interestingly, it was also the second time Zuko assisted Azula in scoring against their rivals while not scoring himself any point on screen. The first time happened almost right at the beggining of the game (second from total five sequences)

while each girl have the solo sequence of winning a point:

Azula's first attack,

later Ty Lee landing on the net

and Mai kicking the ball (and presumably scoring)

while Zuko’s two actions are shared only with his younger sister while there is no sense of competition between the siblings, something contrasting a lot with some previous and later episodes.

Azula is bossy and competitive through most of the episode and her brother lets her be that without a complaint. Azula and Zuko get along pretty well and A) do not argue (with the exception of the campfire scene and then they argue not even for the whole scene itself) and B) don't get on each nerves the way they do in the palace, with Ozai's presence looming in the back of their mind. I absolutely adore this episode, as it humanizes all our Fire Nation characters by showing them as teenagers outside the war zone but also giving us a bit of insight into what Azula and Zuko could be if Ozai didn't pit them against each other. And they could be a great team!

I HAVE A NAME FOR THIS AU NOW— “Shattered Bonds”!

Turn Around.

He called out to him. He called out to him but he didn’t turn around. He couldn’t turn around. If he did then he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from running back and taking the boy away, to heal what was broken and to keep him safe forever and ever.

And if he did, all hell would break loose. So he just gripped his bloodied staff tighter and held his head an inch higher. They would not see him cry.

He was pleading now. Weak, desperate pleas were falling from the boy’s dying lips as his eyes began to fog over and his life drained bit by bit.

Turn around, he was saying. Look at him. Look at him one more time—

He shut his cries out. Stop, he would scream in his mind. Stop before my heart tears into more pieces and I doom them by saving you.

“…I’m sorry...”

The king’s breath halted. A whisper. A quiet voice, filled with pain and tears from a boy whose life was abruptly going to end.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know what I did but I’m sorry. Forgive me, please. Just look at me. Turn around.

“Wukong, turn around, please…”

And the small voice was gone. Only deafening silence filled the infinite space where the precious, wronged boy’s voice was.

He couldn’t take it anymore. He turned, wanting to comfort him, to ease him of his pain—

“Xiaotian—”

But it was too late. In the place of a bright, warm soul was a cold, empty husk broken by the destiny that had turned everything and everyone away from him.

His hands were suddenly empty. The staff was on the ground now as he was by his side in a second, scooping him up and desperately shaking him, begging and apologizing to the boy and what had happened just please WAKE UP—

Only cold silence answered.

He should have turned around sooner.

(Yes this is a sneak peek for a recent AU I came up with. No I will not elaborate 🙃)

[nalooksthrough]

The thrilling sequel.

Listen, I read Tahereh Mafi books. If he’s not so in love with me that it makes his life a misery, then I don’t want him.

How do you guys think Tails reacted when he first learned about the ugly duckling tale?

Like, do you think he learned about it when he was still alone, maybe he heard little drops of the story and got enough of a peek of a book to learn about the ending. And him, as a little four year old kid getting mocked, hit and abused because he was a little diferent was constantly waiting for things to get better, for him to get better? To change and finally be good enough to be loved?

Or do you think Sonic told him about that story, maybe read it to him a little after he met him, when he just got to see him as a little brother?hoping to cheer him up, giving him his own interpretation of the story, perhaps telling him that he doesn’t need to change anything to be loved, because just like the duckling, there was never anything wrong with him, he never had to change who he was, he was always good, the rest of the world just couldn’t see it.

You're scared you'll never care about someone. You're scared you never have. You don't know how much love is held in your chest. You never will.
