#darcy x namor

[yolixpan]

Crack-fic idea, The Darkling, Kylo Ren and Sauron asking themselves why their ladies didn't accept their proposals.

The man they seek advice from?? The master of first proposals, the one and only Mr. Darcy.

I don't think I'm a funny writer, so... I don't know if I could do justice to this idea, but perhaps I'll try.

The Dark Lords and their Ladies of Light

Could I include Namor x Shuri????

7. What’s a fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Completed on ao3, Misao of the Fire Nation where Misao and Iroh just elope instead of having the wedding their families wanted. Happiest because the fic itself was pretty low stakes

[munchkinmarauder]

To my knowledge the first time Pietro and Monet met was in Xfactor investigations post Son of M where Monet was an adult and had at various points relationships with Jamie Madrox, Darwin and Guildo and much later on post this series she has a relationship with Sabertooth infamously. All men older than Pietro, who might probably be the partner closest to her age since she dated Synch (and maybe sunspot as I saw a tweet saying that was briefly a thing but haven't been able to find anything else on it). Those relationships rarely if ever get brought up when it comes into age gap discourse.

Looking at her relationships with those other men, there is a lot to be said about the way the story framed those relationships and how that was problematic. However, I don't really think the age differences with those partners was the primary problem as she was an adult and those men were not taking advantage over her or had power over her the way Magneto did Rouge or Warren did Paige for example. The former pairing definitely doesn't get the same level of scrutiny or "age gap discourse" as Pietro/Monet does despite Pietro and Monet actually being within the same peer group in modern comics. The way Xfactor framed Monet, the one person of colour in the group as a sexual being and how Guildo felt entitled to her and how she's considered "more mature and experienced" then say Theresa who I'm sure is older than her is problematic because it speaks to the sexualisation of women of colour (a treatment many WoC including Wanda) have been subjected too. Monet definitely hasn't had the best treatment in the past but from what I've seen of the modern day depictions of the female characters it's gotten a lot better. But people being upset at these past depictions and maybe taking them out on the relationship between Monet and Pietro is maybe somewhat understandable but considering it's never brought up by those fans I think that's just me making assumptions.

A problem with this age gap discourse as well is that it's definitely somewhat infantalising the female character and undermining their sexual agency.

With the sliding scale, where do we draw the line with comics in particular - Jericho seems to be a couple of years older than Wanda, should that not have happened? Are people not allowed to ship Pietro or Namor who he did meet as a teenager under the context that Daddy Mags was trying to pimp out Wanda to Namor? Similarly is WandaVision problematic because vision is technically much younger than Wanda (despite mentally being an adult) lol

People bring up Pietro having Luna around the same time Monet was introduced as a teenager, ignoring that Luna was a baby and a toddler and still to this day doesn't look like she's hit puberty with the sliding timescale. Cannonically around the time Pietro and Monet met Luna was six and Pietro cannonically married and had child very young so they both would have been in their twenties when they met for the first time. The Monet we were introduced to in Gen X was also 16 because she was a fusion of her two little sisters (8 at the time) who also confusiny don't seem to have aged beyond their early teens despite their sister being aged up.

Ultimately they're both adults, who met as adults and are on equal terms. It's fine not to like it cause it's not your thing or you feel the character should be with other people. You don't need a moral reason not to like it and focusing on an age gap when the sliding timescale as confusing as it is, somewhat of a moot point.

Honestly I'm surprised marvel are actually trying to develop a couple beyond it's initial run. I think it's a fun dynamic and has a lot of story potential but that's just me haha. Let things cook basically.

To go on a tangent I've really appriciated how a lot of the recent comics I've read, especially the scarlet witch ones are from the female gaze. Wanda is beautiful and stunning but always viewed with respect. Darcy makes comments expressing attraction to Quicksilver and Joseph and it's not blinked at. Sex isnt really implied until Pietro/Monet show up and in those scenes Monet is fully dressed or more dressed than Pietro and framed differently to him. The scene from the last issue when Darcy is dropped in their room, Monet is fully clothed and looking radiant while Pietro seems to be by all accounts naked unless hes got very low resting boxers on under that sheet. None of it is particularly vulger or glorified it's just an amusingly pleasant subversion to have that dynamic flipped. Women being drawn respectfully and still being beautiful and alluring is always a plus.

Ive been loving the fact Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch show that Monet and Pietro are still together (and potentially living together) however, there is a small vocal part of the Xfandom arguing the paring is wrong because of an "age gap" between the two. Is that... actually a thing? Especially with the sliding timescale?

Yeah, I've been seeing that online, and if I'm being honest, I don't think it hold water-- especially not since SOME of those people are still pulling for Pietro/Namor. Now, that's an age gap.

Pietro is about the same age as all of the original X-Men. Within the context of X-Men comics, you can assume that Monet is notably younger than the original team because she was introduced as part of the third generation of mutant students.

However, because of the sliding timescale, a lot of the student characters from the 80s and 90s have all fallen into the same twenty-something age group. And now, a lot the 2000s students are young adults too, and specifically, can drink. So if we assume that those kids are all, like, twenty-one, Monet's probably in her early to mid-twenties

In the timeline that was established in HoxPoX, it's only been ten years since the original team was founded, so none of these people are older than thirty. I think that timeline was a little too condensed, but at max, they're not older than thirty-five.

So, no matter how you slice it, they're both adults, and they're not more than ten years apart, and Monet is not, like, college a girl or anything. But comic ages aren't real-- it's all relative. It would be different if they had known each other when Monet was still a teenager, or if Pietro had ever been positioned against Gen X cast as their elder, but I don't think either of those things is true. So, relatively, their age gap doesn't feel significant. It's the same with Wanda and Jericho-- know, logically, that he's older than her, but not in any way that feels material or relevant.

[amusewithaview]

like a lazy ocean hugs the shore (darcy x namor)

A/N: this is a remix/redux of far beyond a star/near beyond the moon.  This is for (and because of) @phoenix-173.

Darcy wasn’t really sure how she felt about moving to New York, specifically to Stark Tower.  It wasn’t that she didn’t like cities, she loved them.  It wasn’t even the proximity to Avengers and their related mayhem.  She’d long since grown used to dealing with super-powered beings and their equally super-powered egos.  No, the issue was the proximity to the ocean.

It didn’t make the dreams worse, but it did make them more frequent.

London was bad enough, but she had known London would be nothing more than a pit stop, a temporary stay.  Darcy had hoped thought that Jane’s next posting would be somewhere more like New Mexico.  Landlocked.  She needed the break from the dreams and the never-ending call that echoed through them.  The call that was made of ocean waves and a man’s voice, inextricably linked.

He’d spoken to her in dreams since her sixteenth birthday.  Some kids got cars, Darcy got Namor, the King of Atlantis.

Her mother had sat her down three days prior, all fluttering hands and shifting eyes, unable to even look at her child when she laid out the bad news.  Great-grandma Dorma had been Atlantean royalty, betrothed to marry the prince of the waters.  There had been a civil war, years of fighting, during which she had explored further and further afield until she came upon humans and, like in all the best fairytales, Dorma fell in love.

“I’ve seen this movie,” teenage Darcy had snarked.  “I liked it better with the singing crab.”

Delilah rolled her eyes extravagantly and huffed.  “Honestly, Darcy, life isn’t all about men.  Dorma fell in love with human culture.  She loved our music and our dances, our food and our cities.  She didn’t want to be a queen, she wanted to live.  So she went to a sea witch.”

Darcy mimed a yawn.

Delilah’s eyes flashed.  “Fine,” she said, “be a pest.  The worse you are the easier it’ll be for you to convinced Him to give up on you.”

“What are you talking about?”

“The betrothal contract was signed in blood and magic, because of that Dorma couldn’t entirely get rid of it, it had to be fulfilled somehow.  The King of Atlantis is owed a wife.  She took the parts of her that were most strongly tied to that debt and left them in the magic’s keeping.  They can only be claimed by one of her daughters, of daughters’ daughters - and so on.  Your grandmother was already seeing your grandfather when she turned sixteen, she only had the dreams for a few days.  I had them for two years.”

“Dreams?”

Her mother sighed and leaned back in her chair, looking up to stare at the ceiling.  Her fingers set up a restless tapping, accompanied by the tinkle of her bangles shifting on her wrist.  “His name is Namor,” she said after a moment.  “He will tell you... all sorts of things.”  She looked down again at Darcy, lips pursed.  “I don’t know whether it’s better to warn you more or let it ride.  Don’t agree to anything he offers.  He’s tricky.”

“Mom, you can’t be serious,” she said.

“You’ll see,” Delilah said grimly.  She shook her head, looking frustrated with herself, “Grandma explained it better.  I tried.”

You didn’t try very hard, Darcy thought.

That night, she dreamt of drifting, a fathomless amount of time spent hanging in a formless space.  It wasn’t pitch-black, but an ever-shifting cloud of darkness with just enough variation that she could track motion.  Time passed, and eventually she felt something push up against her, closer than whatever force kept her afloat in this void.  It wrapped around her like a blanket and then it made a sound sort of like a contented sigh.

Daughter of Dorma, a voice sighed.  I have been waiting.

It was strange, as the voice spoke it went from a sense to actual words, from meaning she felt to sounds she heard.  The man, the voice sounded male, had a warm tenor, the kind that resonated a little.  It was a smooth, controlled voice, and the way he spoke was very deliberate, as if his words were chosen carefully and for maximum impact.

“My mother’s name is Delilah,” she said after a moment.

“Darcy, daughter of Delilah, daughter of Diana, daughter of Dorma.  You are part of an unbroken chain, a lineage of women who forsook their duty.”

It was just insulting enough to make her grit her teeth.  She bit back her first (colorful) response and instead remained silent, waiting.

He made a a soft sound of interest.  “You are not what I expected from a daughter of Delilah,” he said after a moment.

Darcy smirked at the darkness around her because subverting expectations was her raison d’etre and that little trait had been inherited on both sides.  “So, is this the part where you ask me to marry you and pull a reverse Little Mermaid?” she asked, her tone making it explicitly clear what she thought of that.

“No, this is the part where you wake up.”

He had woken her forty minutes before her alarm was due to go off.  She wasn’t sure if it was deliberate or not, but - “He seems like an asshole,” was the first thing she said to her mother that morning.

Delilah looked relieved.  “Well, if we’re lucky, you’ll only have to deal with him for a few years.  Just... be careful.”

“King, huh?  We elect our officials.”

“And how does that work out for you?”

“You know I’m not legally an adult, right?”

“If you were representative of the adults of humankind, I would consider waging war on the surface for their own good.”

“...go bite a fish.”

“So this ‘prom’ is a celebratory ball?”

“Kind of but not really.”

“A rite of passage?”

“Kind of?”

“Does it involve a feat of bravery?  Test of skills?”

“...eh, close enough.”

“So you have visited the surface!”

“It has been decades, but yes.”

“Do anything interesting?  Meet anyone famous?”

“There was a man, he was called ‘Captain America.’  I believe he achieved some notoriety among your kind.  He was... a friend.”

“Shut up.”

“Excuse me?”

“Shut up, you did not meet Captain America!”

“Met and fought with, on multiple occasions.”

“Wow.  Also, god, you’re old.”

“Who pissed in your Cheerios?”

“...you choose these idioms merely to vex me.”

“Yeah, and you’re dodging the question.”

“I have a counsellor who may be planning a coup.”

“Yikes, that sounds bad.”

“It will be.  For him.”

“He was not worthy of you.”

“Yeah.  I get that.  Still sucks.”

“...if he finds his way to the waters, it will not go well for him.”

“I appreciate the thought but please don’t drown my ex-boyfriend.”

“Hmph.”

“Namor.”

“As a favor to you, he may keep his wretched hide intact.”

“You’re a gentleman and a scholar.”  Darcy made a mental note to avoid complaining about any other romantic entanglements.  For their sake.

“So... I turn eighteen tomorrow.”

“As it is a birthday of some significance to your people, I wish you well.”

“Yeah, thanks.  I was wondering... are you going to go away?”

“Your pardon?”

“You stopped bugging my mom when she turned eighteen, isn’t that the cut-off?  The make-or-break day?”

“You thought-” soft laughter emanated from the darkness and Darcy got the vague sense of being hugged combined with gentle amusement.  “Your mother had proven she was ill-suited for rule within a few months of our introduction.  I continued to speak with her at the behest of my council.  We have been many years without an heir, and at that time we were experiencing a period of unrest.”

“In other words-”

“No, I do not intend to sever our connection."

Her mother relaxed after her birthday.  There was a weight that Darcy hadn’t noticed that seemed to disappear.  She didn’t have the heart to tell her mother that the dreams - that Namor - never went away.  The dreams remained as they always had: inconsistent, coming and going on a schedule she never fully understood.  They were, at the same time, one of the only constants in her life.

“My dad died a week ago.”  There was silence and a vague impression of waiting.  Darcy’s words stuttered as if her breathing was ragged, though she’d long since given up trying to understand how speech worked in this dream space: “I didn’t really know him that well, so it’s not that I’m sad about actually losing someone close to me.  I think - I think I’m sad about losing the idea of him.”

“A loss is a loss, whether you mourn the man or the father he might have been, you still mourn.”

“Yeah, I guess.  Have you...?  Sorry, stupid question, I know you’ve seen war.”

This time the pause was different, almost hesitant, though Darcy was reluctant to use that word to describe any aspect of Namor.  “Your foremother...,” he said after a moment, “when she left for the surface I was... angry.  I knew her as a friend and I...perhaps took her presence for granted.  Once I was over my anger I found I did not miss her, I missed the reassurance she brought.”

“You missed the future queen, not the woman who was supposed to be queen.”

“Yes.”

“Dude, you realize that’s probably part of the reason she left, right?”

“I had, yes.  Do not call me ‘dude.’”

“The salmon was... okay.”

“What else did you try?”

“Tuna and something called ‘white fish.’”

“Your thoughts?”

“It was good.  I’d eat it again.”  He didn’t say anything, but he emanated ‘I told you so’ so strongly that if she could have, she would have kicked him.  “Someday you have to try a burger, fair is fair.”

“We shall see.”

“I’m changing my major again.”  She got an impression of vague curiosity and interest.  “To political science.”  The interest sharpened.  “Don’t get all weird about it, there’re some really good professors here and I want to take advantage.  I’m going to keep the religious studies as a minor.”

“To go with your philosophy minor.”

“...and the culture studies minor.  The system maxes at three.”  There was a strong impression of satisfaction that made Darcy bristle.  “Stop that,” she said.  “I told you not to get all weird about it!  I’m just studying what interests me.”

“What interests you interests me,” he all but purred.  Then, before she could retort, “Will this extend the duration of your studies further?”

“Yeah, another year.  My dad left enough money that I can swing it, barely.”

“If that becomes an issue, know that what treasures I have are at your disposal.  Your education is important.”

“...thanks.  That offer sounds like a fish with a hook in it.”

“Another idiom?  How quaint.”

“You know, I realized, you’re probably my best friend.”

“Good.”

“Really?”

“Yes, this pleases me.”

“Am I your best friend?”

“You are my closest confidant.”

“You’re being cagey.”

“’Friend’ is, perhaps, not the word I would choose, no.”

“What would you-” she woke up scowling.  Cagey bastard.

“It just seems a little... extreme?”

“You would have me be lenient.”

“Well, yes.  It sounds like it was a first offense and the evidence you’ve described is mainly hearsay.  I mean, obviously I don’t know anywhere near as much as you do about the parties involved, but as an impartial-”

“You have made your point.”

“And the guard who oversaw the trade?  What’s going to happen to him?”

“I had not decided, you have thoughts?”

“Do I ever...  Um.  Is this helpful?  You were just venting, I didn’t mean to derail you, I just wanted to be a shoulder.”

“Idioms,” he sighed.  “You have a different perspective.  I may not always agree, but I benefit from your words, if only as another view of the problem.  You have, as you have said, no horse in the race.  It is...refreshing.”

“Aw, now who’s using idioms?”

“It’s been almost a month.”

“I know.”

“It’s - we’ve never gone that long without-”

“I know,” he said tersely.

“Did something... happen?”

“You are too far.”

“I didn’t know that was even possible.”

“Neither did I.”

“...I’ve missed you,” she admitted.

“And I, you,” he said, and she felt warmth blossom from without and within.

“Something has happened.”

“Understatement.”

“What happened, Darcy?”

She gathered herself, anticipating his reaction.  “So,” she started cheerfully, “you remember that internship?”

“Yes.  You are still in the desert,” he said, words clipped.

“I... yeah.  You can tell?”

“Yes.”

“Anyways... I met a god?  His name was Thor.  He fell from the sky and the whole town nearly got destroyed and my boss’s work was stolen and there were government agents everywhere - it was nuts!”

“You were in danger, why?”

“Well, I mean, everyone was in danger, not just me specifically.”

“You did not go on the battlefield?”

“...Technically-”

“How much longer?”

“What?”

“Your internship, its duration and the fulfillment of your degree requirements.  How much longer?”

“The internship runs through the end of May, then I’m all done.”

“And what do you intend to do at that time?”

“I’m not... I might stay on with Jane,” she said in a rush.

“Why?”

“Well... her work is interesting.  I’m - I feel useful here.”  She snorted.  “Plus, it’s not like I’ve gotten any better offers, so-”  Her words cut off there as she felt something.  It was like pressure hitting peak and then suddenly she was being inundated with feelings.

“No better offers?” Namor inquired silkily, but behind his words was a wealth of incredulity and anger and regret and other feelings, less clear, muddied by the overwhelming frustration that was at the forefront.

Darcy was left reeling.  “I-”

“You would be queen,” he said softly but intensely.  The emotions she’d been sensing cut off with all of the suddenness of a switch being flipped.  It was a relief, his words alone were drenched in so much feeling she was dizzy with it.  “You could never be bored, not with all the oceans to explore, all the many peoples you would find, the new things to learn.  You would be eminently useful, as a council member, ruling at my side.  You are the partner I was promised.  This offer has been waiting for you for years, you have not been ready to take it.”

“But that’s - I’m not-”  She felt shaky, jittery, too much going through her mind but too little sticking around long enough to develop into coherent thought.  “Queen and wife,” she said at last, quietly.  “I don’t know - do you even care for me, I mean, in that way?”

There was a crystal clear moment of such perfect shock and disbelief that she started to try and wake herself up to avoid potential embarrassment.  She felt him reach out to her retreating consciousness and grab hold, keeping her cradled in the warm and dark of their private dream space.  Then he opened the floodgates and Darcy could feel every single thing he felt for her: pride so strong it made her blush, fondness saturating every action and word, a strain of tenderness kept well-hidden, though not so well as the desire and abject want that had her shivering in reaction.

“Such confessions as you ask of me are best delivered in person, where more than our minds can meet.  I would have you, as wife and queen, as the daughter of Dorma and a promise fulfilled, but more importantly as your self.  I cherish you, and my only regret in our interactions is that I have not made that more clear.”

He released his hold on her then and let her flee to wakefulness with his words resounding in her mind and heart like a bell struck.  From that moment, everything changed.  From that moment, it wasn’t a question of if, but when.

“Are you scared of the ocean?” Jane asked her once, just after the move to New York.  “You always stare at the water but you never go near it.”

“Not scared, exactly,” Darcy hedged.  “I just have a healthy respect for the water and all its creatures.  It’d be way too easy to get pulled under, and there are all sorts of currents we can’t see.  I’ll steer clear.

It was the middle of the day, but she could have sworn she heard the echo of masculine laughter.

“Remember that conversation, all those months ago, about the ocean and how I don’t mess with it?” Darcy asked, eyes shut as she tried to ignore the sway of the sinking boat beneath her feet.

“Uh-huh,” Jane said.  "I would like to take this moment to say that your concerns about currents was valid and I am now equally concerned.”

“Probably not equally,” she muttered.  “This is such bullshit, though.  I mean, what are the odds that the baddie of the week with a mad-on for Thor would live in a freaking houseboat?”

“Slim to none.”

“But the whole water thing.  God, he’s never going to let me live this down,” Darcy said, now edging up onto a cot as best she could considering her arms were shackled to the wall.  “I’ve been bleeding into the water for at least a minute or two.  Since whenever the water reached us.  Not enough that I’m worried about sharks, but enough.”

“Enough for what?” Jane asked cautiously.

As if on queue, there was a loud crunching noise and then a man burst through one side of the room, bringing with him a deluge of water.

“Hi, honey,” Darcy called with a quavering sort of bravado.  He was here, in the waking world and not in her dream.  The reality of him, the intensity of his presence, the intelligence in his face, the physicality on display, was overwhelming.  “You miss me?”

“You are in danger, again,” he snarled, taking the room in at a glance before stalking over to Darcy and unceremoniously ripping her chains off the wall.  He reached out and gently ran his fingers over her skull, scowling when he reached the bleeding bump on her head, before cupping her cheek.

She shivered under his touch and was momentarily grateful that her pupils were already dilated from the dim interior.  The chill would camouflage any other obvious reactions to his presence.  He was both familiar and un, every part of his person matched up with the voice that had lived in her head for over a decade.  There were new things to catalogue, though: physical tells she hadn’t had access to in the dream space, reactions he could no longer hide.

“I would have waited for you to come to me,” he said.

“I know.”

“But now-”

“I know,” she said.  “And we can talk about it in a minute, but first can you get Janie and me out of here?”

Namor turned to Jane, eyes narrowed.  “This is the scientist.”

“Glare later, help now,” she said firmly, barely restraining the urge to lean against him and borrow some of his equilibrium.

He pursed his lips, frowning and gently guided Darcy along beside him until he reached Jane and could rip her chains off the wall as well.  He removed the manacles at her wrists, tearing the metal away as if it was tissue paper.  Once freed, he wrapped an arm around each woman, Darcy nearly plastered to his side while Jane was held much less close, and pulled them towards the hole he’d made in the hull.

“Deep breath, Janie!” Darcy shouted just before they hit the water.

They reached the beach in mere moments, nowhere near long enough for Darcy, who had never been in the ocean before.  Darcy, who had never even been swimming before.  Darcy, who had not realized that the peaceful drifting she had experienced in the dream space was the barest echo of the true wonder of being cradled and kept by the ocean.

Jane staggered onto the sand and flopped down, gasping for air, while Darcy stood knee-deep in the waves.  Part of her, a large part, wanted to dive back in head first.  The rest of her remembered things like friends, family, responsibilities, and not becoming a statistic.  It helped that Namor’s arm was still wrapped around her waist, supporting her and providing, ironically enough, a grounding presence.  Being in his arms now was strikingly similar to the feel of the dream space, but more immediate, their contact set off sparks enough that she wondered if her hair would stand on end if it was dry.

“So, about that confession-”

He tangled his fingers in her wet hair and tilted her face up to his own, pressing his lips to hers.  It was surprisingly gentle for the moment, sweet and soft and over far too quickly.  Her eyes fluttered open afterwards to find his face inches from hers.

“You are each of the things I wanted and everything I never thought to ask for,” he murmured into the space between them.  “If anything were to happen to you, I would take a consort out of necessity, but the throne I built for you would remain empty till the end of my reign.  I love you, Darcy.”

And everything inside of Darcy said yes.

A second after that, her skin started to glow.  It grew brighter and brighter until she shut her eyes and buried her face against Namor’s chest.  The light was accompanied by a tingling coolness that started at her extremities and coursed to her center before echoing back to the bounds of her skin.  This happened over and over till every part of her seemed to be ringing.  Then it cut off so suddenly and jarringly that she might have fallen without Namor to hold her up.

Darcy blinked, the world seemed slightly... different.  “What the fuck was that?”

“That was a promise fulfilled,” he said, half joyful and half triumphant.

[dresupi]

tempting

Pairing:  Darcy Lewis/Namor the Submariner For:  @themusingofagothicsoul Prompt:  Darcy is a diplomat for Atlantis and the US AU

Namor couldn't help but notice the profile she cut.

Darcy Lewis was one good looking woman.  

She was standing in the window, facing out towards the ocean where Atlantis lay while clicking her pen repeatedly.  He was starting to think she did this solely to annoy him. “So are you coming back with me to New York or not?” she asked, eyeing him suspiciously.

He smirked, because he was.  But he definitely didn’t want to tell her that right now.  The tempting thought of watching her dangle would be too much fun.
