swearing, sexual innuendos.

Steve slammed Natasha against the wall. Vincent was leaning against the wall next to them, holding a pack of peanuts he got from the vending machine.
"Where is it?" Steve hissed, frustrated with the redhead.
"Safe." She replied.
"Do better!"
Natasha looked into his eyes, looking for an answer. "Where did you get it?"
Steve put more pressure on her arms. "Why would I tell you?"
"Fury gave it to you. Why?"
Damn! This is just like watching an episode of Real Housewives.
Steve got the idea that she had opened the file. "What's on it?"
"I don't know." She answered truthfully.
"Stop lying!" He gritted through his teeth.
Vincent could see the slight smile on her face. "I only act like I know everything, Rogers."
"I bet you knew Fury hired the pirates, didn't you?" Steve looked out the room's window to make sure nobody was about to come in, or nobody was watching them.
"Well, it makes sense. The ship was dirty. Fury needed a way in, so do you."
Steve lifted her a little by her jacket. "I'm not gonna ask you again."
"Steve, watch it now, will you!" Vincent spoke, lightning sparking at his fingertips again.
Natasha looked at Vincent, giving him a look that it was fine. "I know who killed Fury. Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists. The ones who do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited with over two dozen assassinations in the last fifty years."
"So he's a ghost story." Steve deadpanned.
Guess we got upgraded to ghostbusters...
"Five years ago, I was escorting a nuclear engineer out of Iran. Somebody shot out my tires near Odessa. We lost control and went straight over a cliff, I pulled us out, but the Winter Soldier was there. I was covering my engineer, so he shot him straight through me." She pulled up her shirt to show him the scar on the side of her stomach.
"Soviet slug, no rifling. Bye-bye, bikinis."
"Goddamn," Vincent mumbled to himself turned out it wasn't quite enough because Natasha looked at him with a smirk and winked.
"Yeah, I bet you look terrible in them now," Steve told her. Natasha slightly smiled.
"Going after him is a dead end. I know, I've tried."
Natasha held up the flash drive. "Like you said, he's a ghost story."
Steve took the flash drive from her. "Well, let's find out what the ghost wants."
Natasha nodded and looked at Vincent. "First, we need to stop at a store to get mr. pretty boy over here a shirt."
___
"First rule of going on the run is, don't run, walk," Natasha informed the two.
Steve looked down at his shoes. "If I run in these shoes, they're gonna fall off."
"Thank you, Nat for telling me. I thought it was to run and catch everybody's attention." Vincent sarcastically chuckled while trying not to trip on his untied shoelaces.
"Shut up." She hissed stepping on his left shoe.
Vincent hit her arm. "Natasha, we've been through this Do. Not. Step on my Nike Air Trainer III's."
"Don't step on my shoes." She mocked.
"Shut up." He huffed.
She smirked. "Make me." That made Vincent speechless till they made it to the Mac store.
"The drive has a Level Six homing program, so as soon as we boot up SHIELD will know exactly where we are." Natasha acquainted.
"How much time do we have?" Steve questioned.
"Uh...about nine minutes from..." She popped the flash drive into a MacBook Pro.
"Now."
"Fury was right about that ship, somebody's trying to hide something. This drive is protected by some sort of AI, it keeps rewriting itself to counter my commands."
Steve looked around the store looking for any Strike agents. "Can you override it?"
"The person who developed this is slightly smarter than me. Slightly."
"Fucking shit," Vincent whispered next to them.
Natasha and Steve both looked at him confused.
He shrugged. "I was so close to the high score on subway surfers." He pointed to the phone.
Natasha continued to try and find out what's on the flash drive. "I'm gonna try running a tracer. This is a program that SHIELD developed to track hostile malware, so if we can't read the file, maybe we can find out where it came from."
"Can I help you guys with anything?" An apple employee asked.
Natasha grabbed Steve's arm. "Oh, no. My fiancé was just helping me with some honeymoon destinations."
"Cool, where-"
"Umm Aaron, do you think you could help me with this?" Vincent asked pointing to a Mac book two down from Natasha and Steve.
"Sure." Aaron followed Vincent to the Mac.
"So I was thinking about buying this, now how would I set it up?"
"The first time your MacBook Air starts up, the Setup Assistant walks you through the simple steps needed to start using your new Mac. Choose a country or region to set the language and time zone for your Mac. You can respond to all the prompts, or skip some and choose "Set up later" when you see that option. For example, it might make sense to set up Apple Pay, which requires a verified credit card, and Screen Time, which you can set for different users, after initial setup. Read on for more information about setup tasks." Aaron explained to a 'trying not to fall asleep' Vincent.
"Thank you. Can I give you my card to pay for it?" He told the employee.
"Yes, you can." Aaron walked to the front of the store and swiped Vincent's card and went to the back and grabbed a bag with a Mac in it. He walked back over to Vincent handed him the bag.
Vincent shook his hand. "Thank you, sir."
"Anytime." Aaron nodded and walked away.
Vincent walked over to Natasha and Steve. "You said nine minutes, come on."
"Shh, relax. Got it."
Vincent scoffed. "Relax? You're telling me to relax are you serious."
The screen zooms in and the signal is coming from Wheaton, NJ. "You know it?" Natasha asked Steve.
"I used to. Let's go." Steve pulled the flash drive from the computer and they walked out of the store.
"Natasha, you own me fucking nine hundred seventy-nine dollars and eighty-six cents for keeping the employee busy."
"I didn't tell you to buy anything."
Vincent scoffed. "How else did expect me to distract him?"
"Standard tac-team. Two behind, to across, two coming straight at us. If they make us, I'll engage, you hit the south escalator to the metro." Steve told them as two agents are coming straight towards them.
"Shut up and put your arm around me, laugh at something I said," Natasha addressed confusing Steve
"What?"
"Do it!" Steve quickly put his arm around Natasha and laughed as Vincent looked down at his shoes making sure there were no smudges.
As they are going down the escalator Natasha spotted Rumlow on the escalator next to them going up, she turned to Vincent knowing if he saw Rumlow it would be it for them.
"Kiss me."
Vincent's eyes widened. "I'm sorry, what?"
"Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable. Take this Steve." She handed Steve her phone.
"Yeah, I guess they do." She quickly pulled Vincent's jacket collars down to her level so she could reach him, his hands landed on her hips, he felt her arch into his hold.
Rumlow rolled his eyes and looked away as he goes past them on the escalator.
Natasha pulled out of the kiss and started walking off the escalator with the two men following her. "You still uncomfortable?"
"Wishing the escalator was longer." He replied putting his hood on.
Steve handed Natasha her phone back. "I'm glad it's over, those things make me sick."
Vincent chuckled putting an arm around Steve. "Let's go grampa.
____
"So we have to steal a car?" Vincent asked his two superheroes/super-spy best friends...only friends except for Milo.
Natasha pushed a strand of her straight red hair out of her eyes. "Yes."
"And none of you know how to do that?" Vincent snorted.
Steve and Natasha rolled their eyes. "Yes, Vince."
"This is going to be fun I haven't done this sinc-." Vincent cut himself off as he remembered why he stopped.
"Since what?" Natasha questioned.
Vincent shook his head. "Nothing."
____
He watched as a woman parked her Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ. After the woman walked inside the Mall and nobody was around the truck he hotwired the truck, as soon as the truck started Natasha opened the door to the front and climbed in and Steve climbed in the backseat.
"Where did Vincent Lanez learn how to steal a car?" Natasha questioned him.
"My older brother Timothee." Vincent smiled making a right turn. "And we're borrowing. Take your feet off the dash."
Natasha glared at him and took her feet off the dash.
"Timothee?" Steve asked, the whole time he knew Vincent he's never seen or heard about an older brother.
"Uhh, he died a year ago."
Steve frowned. "I-I didn't know, I-I'm sorry."
"It's fine Steve."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Natasha asked frowning.
Vincent sighed. "Because I can barely speak about."
Natasha nodded. "Alright, I have a question for you, oh, which you do not have to answer. I feel like if you don't answer it though, you're kind of answering it, you know?"
"Natasha."
"Was that a bad kiss?" She asked him, taking a drink of a water bottle Vincent had got her from a gas station earlier in the trip.
"No, it was a really good kiss. Why did you think it was a bad kiss?"
"I didn't say it was a bad kiss I asked if it was a bad kiss." She giggled defended herself.
They stopped at a red light and Vincent unbuckled his seat belt, he reached over the armrest console and kissed her.
"Was that a bad kiss?" He asked as he buckled his seatbelt back.
"N-No...No it wasn't." She stammered blushing.
___
Two hours into the trip Steve fell asleep and Natasha was dosing off and on.
"Why don't you go to sleep we have about thirty-two minutes left. I'll wake you when we get there." Vincent told her.
She nodded and grabbed Vincent's right hand that rested the armrest console and held his hand in hers.
Natasha soon fell asleep softly snoring. Vincent would occasionally glance down at the sleeping redhead he adored.
Vincent hopped out of the truck and woke up Steve.
"Son of a gun," Steve mumbled as he was shaken awake, he grabbed his shield and got out of the truck.
Vincent opened the passenger door and pushed a strang of Natasha's hair out of her face. "Natasha, wake up." He spoke softly.
Her eyes slowly opened and she sat up and looked around at their surroundings and shivered. "Vinnie, can I have your jacket?"
"Yeah." He took off his jacket and handed it to her, he helped her out of the truck.
"Thank you." She shivered, putting the jacket over her hoodie.
"This is it," Vincent spoke as he went to shake the gate but Natasha grabbed his arm.
Natasha put her phone in her back pocket. "The file came from these coordinates."
Steve looked at the sign on the gate that read Camp Lehigh. "So did I."
Vincent looked at him bewildered. "You were born here?"
Steve sighed while Natasha smiled.
Later that night as they walked around the base trying to pinpoint where the signal came from. "This camp is where I was trained."
"Now you tell us, after we've been here for forty minutes," Vincent murmured picking up a rock chucking it at a wall.
He and Natasha were walking on a platform while Steve was down on the ground.
Natasha held up her phone looking for a signal. "Changed much?"
"A little." Steve glanced at a camera on a pole.
"I think Steve is in la-la land." Vincent chuckled.
Natasha turned around and glanced at Steve. "Wonder what he's thinking."
"Come on Vinnie boo let's continue looking." She dragged him along with her.
____
Natasha and Vincent walked back to Steve. "This is a dead-end. Zero heat signature, zero waves, not even radio. Whoever wrote the file must have used a router to throw people off." She addressed putting her phone in her back pocket.
Vincent noticed a building ahead of them, he jumped over the railing of the platform walking towards the building.
"What is it?" Natasha questioned as she and Steve walked over to the building.
"Army regulations forbid storing ammunition within five hundred yards of the barracks. This building is in the wrong place." Vincent sighed.
"How do you know that?" Steve asked.
"Army kid."
Vincent stood back and Steve opened the lock with his shield and they entered inside, when they turned on the lights they noticed it's a SHIELD office.
"This is SHIELD." Natasha breathed out.
"Maybe where it started," Steve commented.
Vincent opened a door that entered into a room where they found old framed portraits of Howard Stark, Peggy, Col. Chester Phillips, and Vincent great great great grand father General. Thomas Lanez.
Natasha pointed to an unbalanced picture. "There's Stark's father."
Steve acknowledged. "Howard."
Natasha glanced at Steve. "Who's the girl?" Steve doesn't respond, he turned away and followed Vincent who didn't take interest in the pictures.
Vincent walked further down the room and stopped by a massive bookshelf and noticed a cobweb swaying.
"Fuck this is heavy." He mumbled as he pushed the bookshelf and it slid open to reveal an elevator behind it.
"Elevator?" Steve asked.
Natasha pulled out her phone and scanned the keypad.
She typed the password in and pushed the button it opened to Vincent's surprise the old thing worked.
Steve and Natasha walked into the elevator while Vincent gulped. "Y-You know what I-I'll stay here."
Natasha sighed and grabbed his arm. "Come on scaredy-cat."
They go down the elevator which took them to a room with old looking computers.
The elevator doors opened to a dark room, they walked out of the elevator the doors closed behind them.
Vincent gulped, he turned around and looked at the closed doors. "Oh hell no."
Natasha grabbed his hand to calm him down.
She took a glance around the room. "This can't be the data-point, this technology is ancient."
They walked to what looked like the main console. The lights flickered on. Natasha noticed a small flash drive port, she placed the flash drive in it which then activated the ancient computer.
"Initiate system?" The computer spoke.
Natasha typed using the keyboard. "Y-E-S spells yes. "
Natasha smiled and turned to Steve as the old computer started to cranks up. "Shall we play a game?" It's from a movie that...
"Yeah, I saw it." Suddenly they hear an accented voice speaking.
"Rogers, Steven. Born, 1918. Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna. Born, 1984. Lanez, Vincent. Born, 1990."
They see an old camera moving above them as it analyzed them.
Natasha looked at the camera puzzled. "It's some kind of a recording."
"I am not a recording, Fräulein. I may not be the man I was when the Captain took me, prisoner, in 1945, but I am." The computer screen shows an old photo of Dr. Arnim Zola.
Natasha turned towards Steve. "Do you know this thing?"
"Steve buddy, we need to talk about your friends." Vincent sighed.
Steve walked off the platform looking behind the computer. "Arnim Zola was a German scientist who worked for the Red Skull. He's been dead for years."
"First correction, I am Swiss. Second, look around you. I have never been more alive. In 1972 I received a terminal diagnosis. Science could not save my body, my mind, however, that was worth saving on two hundred thousand feet of data banks. You are standing in my brain."
Vincent scoffed. "You weren't very popular as a child where you?"
Steve walked back up where Natasha and Vincent were. "How did you get here?"
"Invited."
"It was Operation Paperclip after World War II. SHIELD recruited German scientists with strategic value." Natasha informed.
"They thought I could help their cause. I also helped my own."
Steve scoffed. "HYDRA died with the Red Skull."
"Cut off one head, two more shall take its place." Vincent could hear the smirk in his voice.
"Prove it." Steve challenged.
"Accessing archive." The computer screen shows them old footage of Johann Schmidt/Red Skull, of how the original SHIELD founders.
"HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize, was that if you try to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much."
"Holy shit," Vincent mumbled.
"Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, SHIELD was founded and I was recruited. The new HYDRA grew. A beautiful parasite inside SHIELD. For seventy years HYDRA has been secretly feeding crisis, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed."
Natasha walked closer to the screen. "That's impossible, SHIELD would have stopped you."
"Accidents will happen." The computer screen showed them HYDRA had killed Howard and Maria Stark making it look like a car accident along with the recent death of Fury.
"HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA's new world order will arise. We won, Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your Life; a zero-sum."
In anger, Steve smashed the computer screen.
"As I was saying..." Zola spoke.
"What's on this drive?" Natasha questioned getting frustrated at the computer...or person.
"Project Insight requires insight. So I wrote an algorithm."
Natasha walked closer to the computer screen. "What kind of algorithm? What does it do?"
"The answer to your question is fascinating. Unfortunately, you shall be too dead to hear it."
Natasha looked at Vincent in slight fear of what it meant by 'Too dead to hear it.' As much as she hated to admit but she was scared.
Suddenly the doors started to close, Steve tried to stop it by throwing his shield in between them but he's too late. He ran over to the door and tried to pry it open with his hands but it didn't work it was sealed shut.
"Vince, Steve, we got a bogey. Short-range ballistic. 30 seconds tops." Natasha addressed with worry laced in her voice.
"Who fired it?" Vincent inquired as he looked around the room for an entrance.
"S.H.I.E.L.D."
"I am afraid I have been stalling, Captain. Admit it, it's better this way. We're both of us...out of time." Zola told the three of them.
Vincent noticed a small opening on the ground, he threw the metal door aside and grabbed Natasha, Steve jumped in just as the place exploded and protected them with his shield.
Steve and Vincent managed to get out from under the building rubble just as STRIKE agents arrived to roam the area for them.
"Fuck." Vincent groaned picking a piece of glass out of his leg. He leaned down and picked up Natasha who was out cold.
"Come on we need to hurry," Steve spoke moving rock out of the way.
____
"She's going to be alright. Right?" Vincent asked Steve who was driving, Vince had sat in the back with Natasha who had her head resting on his lap asleep.
Steve looked in the rearview mirror. "She will be fine, Vince."
Natasha groaned as she regained consciousness. "What happened?" She asked her voice rasper then usual.
"A building fell on us," Steve uttered to her. He looked away from the road just for a split second to look back at the redhead.
"Sure feels like it." She groaned.
She looked down at her waist to see Vincent's left arm resting on her, Natasha noticed something off about it.
She and noticed when he would move his arm a little his body would tense. "What happened to your arm?"
"Nothing." He responded quickly which was a red flag for Natasha.
She reached down and touched his arm, again his body tensed. "I think your arm is broken."
"It's not, It's just sore you landed right on it." Vincent chuckled.
She looked up at him. "Sorry."
"It's fine, I still want you to pay me back."
"I'm not paying you back so get over it," Natasha rolled her eye.
Vincent gave her a playful glare before turning to Steve. "Aye, grampa where are we going?"
"To see a friend."

MARVEL REALLY SAID "WHAT IF WE GIVE EVERYONE STEVEBUCKY CRUMBS IN 2023"
"You don't know me." "Steve Rogers did. And the man he knew, the friend he loved, would never take that shot."
When I tell you I SCREAMED!!!! Giggling, kicking my feet, etc ohhhhhh my fucking God I'm insane. And he goes to stare at the Brooklyn Bridge……….. help me.
AND! We're getting the Hydra Stomper ep in a few days. Y'know... the continuation of the Captain Carter TFA rewrite from season 1... the episode that's going to be a Winter Soldier redux where (presumably) Steve is the brainwashed antagonist as the Hydra Stomper and Peggy has to get through to him, and it'll all be within the context of them being a romance.
They are doing these PARALLELS (again) intentionally DAYS APART. They chose to remind everyone that Steve always breaks Bucky's brainwashing right before we're gonna get Stevepeggy parallels.
I fucking love this for me
people who are going to call this "queerbaiting" do not fucking interact, we have fun here, thank you

Bucky fanfics please???
I'm really upset with what MCU is apparently doing to Bucky in Thunderbolts, turning him into The Winter Soldier again and making him a bad guy (they threw some 'bad and worse guys' shit ew). It's even more unsettling to me that some fans believe Bucky wants to kill and fuck up☠ as if TFATWS didn't happen at all? So I just need some soft, real Bucky FFs to keep me sane, hopefully picking up from TFATWS, or even rewriting whatever is the gist of Thunderbolts (like him leaving problematic shit like Congress behind and being happy with MC/YN, him being in the actual Avengers with Sam). Just him being his normal self who has peace with Y/N. Find me some FFs or write some idk just give me something 😭 I already miss TFATWS Bucky

Favourite MCU Fic Recs
I'm not nearly as much as an MCU expert as I am a Buffy expert, but here are my favorite MCU fics!
Gen Fics
All The Leaves Are Brown (And the sky is gray) by AvocadoLove - the Winter Soldier kills Howard and Maria Stark... And then raises their young son. This is absolutely incredible, and Bucky & Tony's father / son relationship is so bittersweet.
Minor Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, Mentioned Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes.
built from scraps by robinbuckley - Tony Stark snaps. Peter Parker (and MJ!) does not. This fic is absolutely incredible! Pepper, Morgan & Peter's family relationship is amazing, and their grief over Tony, May, and all their friends is wonderful. MJ and Peter's romance, and his friendships with Harley Keener and Nat are great. Oh, and Tony turns out to be Peter's bio dad. READ THIS.
Minor MJ/Peter Parker, and Pepper Potts/Tony Stark.
Things I Almost Remember by IcedAquarius - probably the most interesting Tony is Peter's bio dad fic, purely because Tony doesn't know. More angsty than most fic I read - and be warned: it hasn't been updated in a while. Ned, MJ, and Helen Cho are standouts!
Minor Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, and future MJ/Peter Parker.
The Second Hand Unwinds by The Party Prince - Mobius gives Loki the chance to go anywhere. He visits his brother post Infinity War. A short one shot, and so sad and wonderful.
Love is Pain (Well, Darling, Let's Hurt Tonight) by OverlyObsessed223 - a crossover with the X-Men movies, where X-Men Peter and MCU Wanda can feel each other's pain. A bittersweet look at sibling relationships. Slightly more X-Men focused.
RECOIL by VulpeculaAnser - a season 1 rewrite of Agents of Shield, focusing heavily on Daisy and the trauma that would ensue if she got her powers earlier. Focuses on the found family relationship of the team. Tragically unfinished.
Cool Meta and Multimedia Fics
20 Celebrities Who Could Totally Be Daredevil by RosaLui - formatted like a buzzfeed article. Short, meta, and hilarious!
Steve Rogers at 100: Celebrating Captain America on Film by many - a hilarious historical archive of Captain America movies. Absolutely loved all the historical references. Minor Steve/Bucky.
Best Stucky Fics
What I'm Looking For by TessaBennet - a long, sprawling series of stories that rewrites all of the MCU with a Stucky focus. If you have to read one fanfic on this list, this is the one for you. It fixes canon in so many ways, and completely changed the ways I view many characters for the better (especially Natasha, Sam, and Wanda). The second fic, focusing on WW2, and the 6th (on the events up to/Civil War) are by far the best, but every fic in this series is incredible. Seriously. Read it.
Don't Ask by AnnaFugazzi -a WW2 Steve and Bucky have a secret relationship, and are found out. Realistic and HEARTBREAKING consequences ensue. Ends on a bittersweet note, and is amazing. Be warned - the sequels get much darker and deal with non/con. Personally, I stop reading here.
A Long Winter by dropdeaddream and WhatAreFears - A Stucky fic looking at what would happen if Steve didn't go into the ice, but Bucky was still the Winter Soldier. Steve and Peggy's relationship, and the Howlies, are written so well.
despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained) by praximeter - The Winter Soldier's mask doesn't come off - a slow burn that delves into the torture Bucky endured and the slow realization about who he is on Steve's part. Very dark.
Never Like This by RobinWood - another slowburn Winter Soldier identity reveal fic. This one in particular writes the whole avengers team so well, especially Tony and his reaction to his parents dying.
Time Travel and Other Fic-It Fics
the reactions of a dead man by agloeian - it's down to Loki to arrange things to stop Thanos. Some really funny bits, and a good look at the limits of what can be changed with time travel. The Loki & Strange relationship is great.
god loves everybody, don't remind me by napricot - Erik Killmonger gets stuck in a time loop. He learns the meaning of family along the way. The author writes Erik so well!
Bringing Him Home by sancuary_for_all - A post No-Way-Home fix it. Ned and MJ have gaps in their memory. Eventually, they piece things together. Really sweet Peter/MJ relationship.
If I Could Start Again by Taarko - at the end of Infinity War, Thor is sent back in time. The amount of lore in this fic is incredible! And the characterization of Thor, Loki, and Valkyrie is great! Very Asgard focused and goes deep into their history.
Relationships: Valkyrie/Loki, Betty Ross/Bruce Banner.
Fics With OCs (That Are Actually Good)
The Wyvern by emmamagnetised - Tony has a younger sister, who is in the car with their parents and is taken by Hydra. The trial of the Wyvern arc is wonderful and sold me on this. It's loooong, be warned. A Bucky Barnes/OC fic.
The Siren by emmamagnetised - a WW2 story about a spy for the Allies in Nazi Germany - who is a childhood friend of Steve and Bucky. Cute relationship between her and Steve.

Game: match the character with the trope & give a little explanation why you paired them/how you would go about writing that type of fic 🩷
Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, Ransom Drysdale, Ari Levinson & Nick Fowler
Forced proximity, forbidden love, fake dating, hidden identity & arranged marriage
Okay, this was fun, Em! And at least this time I didn't get TOO carried away...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ARI LEVINSON - FORCED PROXIMITY - I don't know... maybe this 2500-imagine-ish pitch that spilled out of my fingers this weekend? Hahaha
Tumblr media
BUCKY BARNES - HIDDEN IDENTITY - I think this could happen over many different period of Bucky's life, but I'm especially interested in Bucky on the run after Winter Soldier and before Civil War. I love reading fics that take place during this time, and I've got a fic that I started and need to go back to (and maybe rewrite so I can complete it) that would be him hiding for short periods of time in cabins/rentals/vacation homes as he makes his way out of the DC Metro area those first months after CA:WS and while he's crashed at one particular place, Reader shows up, and they spend a few days or maybe a week together before moving on to the next place (and the next and the next until he eventually ends up in Romania).
Tumblr media
RANSOM DRYSDALE - FAKE DATING - When a petition citing some extenuating circumstances/technicalities/the manner in which his confession was coerced/etc, a judge is willing to review it due to Ransom's good behavior (read: MONEY) while he's been serving time, and he gets him out of jail. You are immediately hired to be his Cinderella-image of a girlfriend so he can become the public's wronged and misunderstood Prince Charming because Linda won't have any more bad press - it's affecting all of the family businesses. Why are you willing to take the deal? You came up in an initial pool of suitable eligible females in the local area and it just so happens that one of the editor's at Harlan's publishing house (still overseen by Walt) has been considering one of your novels for publication, and this presents an opportunity for them to sweeten a proposal for this PR relationship by offering you a six-novel publishing deal as long as you maintain the relationship with Ransom for at least 18 months.
Tumblr media
NICK FOWLER - FORBIDDEN LOVE - You're a detective working for Interpol. You know the trouble he's caused. Even though he was able to cover up his deeds initially with the CIA, once the Chinese/MSS took him into custody, it all came out. But he's managed to escape. He's managed to find his way to Romania, which is where you just so happen to be stationed now. You worked a case closely with him six years ago in Portugal, and...though you both kept it professional, his charm was undeniable. He had no idea you were in Romania, but he's not mad about that in the slightest now that he's spotted you. He could have some fun with this. Are you ready to play with fire?
Tumblr media
STEVE ROGERS - ARRANGED MARRIAGE - In a Steve Stays scenario, if he's going to refuse to be Cap, he's being lobbied to still use his influence and power to help bring some order to this post-Blip society. He went tried to retreat and fade into the background, but things are escalating, and Pepper - who had also tried to stay in the background - is concerned that there are things happening maybe because of their inaction. She's got an idea. She wants to get Steve into political office, and she's going to appeal to his sense of duty (which she can do because it's the guilt she's also feeling). He'll agree because he trusts her judgement. For the best image, he's going to need a wife - this is a harder sell, but - again - he trusts Pepper Potts, he doesn't even need to vet the candidates, because if he's all in on this idea, he'll be all in, and he knows Pepper will pick someone who will fit the bill as his suitable trophy wife. You.
Tumblr media
would... well would anyone be interested in any of these if I thought about actually writing them?

Maddi's Reaction to TBB S3 Finale
Warning: SPOILERS. LOTS AND LOTS OF SPOILERS
The episode title killed me a little bit, ngl
I mean, "The Cavalry Has Arrived". Talk about a callback lmao
Ofc Omega found a way to release the Zillo Beast. And Echo's reaction was amazing. "How do you know?" "Because it's exactly what I'd do!"
Same with Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair: "Echo or Omega?" "Omega." "Omega."
I was so fucking convinced that the og operative - the one with the sniper rifle - was gonna be Winter Soldier-ified Tech. Like, I was banking on it, and it turns out he was just a random clone. (I might make a rewrite changing that outcome lol)
Emerie finally became a good guy! After Episode 10, I was rooting for her to wake the fuck up haha. Glad she came to her senses, and very proud that Echo had the sense to trust her.
Oh, speaking of the not-actually-Tech operative, HE CUT CROSSHAIR'S HAND OFF?! CROSSHAIR BBY NOOOO
Ahem. I'm not mad. It's a TV show, it's not real, I'm not mad.
Sorry, where was I?
Hunter and Crosshair finally acting like brothers again makes my heart so happy. "You should stay here. I'll go after Omega." "Not a chance."
Ooh, when Echo found Omega and the other kids, the way he greeted her made me wanna cry a little bit. And the way the kids hugged her before Emerie flew them to safety - guys, my heart can't take this cuteness.
Echo's speech to the prisoners gave me Fives' battle for Kamino speech. "You've all been through enough, and you all deserve your freedom, but Omega and I can't do this alone. Will any of you help us?" compared to "We're one of the same. Same heart, same blood. And my blood's boiling for a fight." "But what about our training?" "Your training is in your blood."
Hunter, Crosshair, and Omega working together almost non-verbally to kill Hemlock was amazing. Our baby Omega has grown up so much since Season 1, and I'm so proud of her. Also, yay, Hemlock is dead!
Nala Se's "sacrifice" to destroy her work kinda made me tear up, ngl. (I say "sacrifice" because it wasn't a big thing like Tech's death, she just got shot by Rampart and dropped the detonator at his feet. It still made me tear up tho.)
Everyone recovering on Pabu made me so happy, but we didn't see Phee and Omega reunite, which was kind of a let-down. But, everyone's safe and happy, so I'll take it.
Now for the big thing: THE END SCENE
Oh my god baby Omega grew up so much. Her long hair in the really loose and messy ponytail made me so happy haha. Also, was that Hunter's bandana? TBB team, can we confirm?
Speaking of Hunter, his older look makes me so happy. No armor, just soft, comfortable clothes. (I do miss the old bandana though)
Hunter's concern about Omega becoming a Rebellion pilot is so fatherly omfg. Also, our baby is a Rebellion pilot!!
Omega's little salute to Hunter and Batcher made my heart melt a little. Seeing Tech's goggles on the dashboard also didn't help. And Hunter's final line - "She'll be fine."
Guys, I'm in awe. This episode was amazing. Laughed, cried, and melted the whole way through. Perfect ending for our favorite squad.

Disney mcu: Bucky wasn't Steve's love interest, stop shipping them dammit!
Also Disney mcu: Anyway here's the Winter Soldier storyline but make it Hetero. You're allowed to ship this because it isn't gay! please forget all about the gays now, dammit!!1
Tumblr media
Image description: a sneaky camera phone shot of a big screen from a screening of the What If...? season 2 trailer, showing a close up of Captain Carter's face with surprised expression, next to a bearded Steve Rogers (pre or post serum it's hard to tell) wearing the Hydra Stomper suit, and they're about to face off, Captain America: Winter Soldier style
Yes, it's a leaked trailer for What If...? season 2, and we knew this was coming (het-washing SteveBucky) but still 🤣 omg.
The more the corporation tries to deny that Steve & Bucky had a typically romantic storyline in the mcu, the more it tries to retcon that storyline as m/f, the more obviously gay mcu SteveBucky look! Just LOL wtf.
All joking aside, this is the insidious side of What If...? becoming louder.
It was always there right from the start, and these are the points that I find the most insidious:
• het-washing SteveBucky
• erasing Sam Wilson almost entirely (sure, we have to wait and see if he's in S2 at all, but since he wasn't shown in prominent trailer clips, I'm not hopeful) especially at a time when he's had zero promo as Captain America
• the rampant misogyny directed toward character Sharon Carter by the show's writers in interviews
These issues are troubling.
Corporations are never NOT sending messages.
Ask yourselves, why does the Disney corporation push these messages the hardest.
The answer is:
• Homophobia (rewriting SteveBucky as m/f)
• Racism (ignoring Sam Wilson at any opportunity)
• And Misogyny (hating women who aren't their 1 Fave, all other women are a Threat)
As fans, we must start calling this out.
The corporation is drip feeding horrific messages to you.

hi, different anon. i wanted to add to the thoughts but i'm shy. i assumed bucky's rules were set up because his moral compass was skewed by his time with hydra (not necessarily in a way that makes him a bad person, just in ways that alters his perspective on what situations need force and who maybr deserves rough treatment). we saw clearly in the series that bucky doesn't mind breaking the law or hurting people he considers bad, he is also impulsive and self-destructive. i always assumed the rules were given as actually needed guidance to help him face former-hydra associates.
Hello Shy Anon:
Tumblr media
There was no indication, up until TFATWS, that Bucky was ever impulsive, or “doesn’t mind breaking the law”. He stayed under cover for 2 whole years while Steve, Hydra, and everyone else who wanted the Winter Soldier (and there were plenty, judging by Zemo’s auction) were hunting for him. The only story that characterises him as that is TFATWS which is the very series that treats him like he had agency as the Winter Soldier.
The “doesn’t mind hurting people who he thinks is bad” is kinda the defining trait of every MCU superhero so I’m not sure why Bucky specifically needed rules to stop him from doing that — except, of course, the narrative didn’t believe he was a hero until he had the magic boat-fixing scene that fixed his trauma and apparently his wonky moral compass too.
Also, the only action that comes across as impulsive is him breaking Zemo out of jail, which already makes no logical sense for Bucky to do and I’ve already talked about it at length 20 times before so I’m not going to again. Him hacking the car then calling the police to arrest the Hydra senator was highly premeditated and not an example of impulsiveness.
Sorry if I am sounding cranky, anon, but a lot of these have been discussed ad nauseum in the 12 months after the series’ release and I’m not keen to retread the issues and attract fresh disk horse. If you read the post I linked in that ask, I talked about the narrative intent in rewriting Bucky to be aggressive and volatile. The story didn’t know how to handle him except “Winter Soldier bad, he needs a (Black) found family to fix him” while ignoring the fact that he already had the same friggin arc in Civil War to Black Panther.
Also why was he being sent to face former Hydra associates on his own as part of his amends when Raynor called him a civilian?

First of all I'm writing a marvel fusion au, where Warriors is Captain America.
Secondly, I'm facing a slight plot issue that I created myself, since I forgot avengers happened before the winter soldier. So...
TWS first is what is happening in my draft rn, so the easiest. But it'll just leaves more and more holes
Avengers first would mean rewriting what I've got RN, but it'll be a lot less holes involved.
Mix is... Not gonna lie, kinda tempting. But it'll be a lot harder to pull off... But tempting... Damn.
Anyway, this is also secretly trying to promote Links Assemble, so....... :P

Ok so I just watched the latest episode of What If where Captain Carter (Peggy if she was Captain America) fights the Hydra Stomper (Steve if he was the Winter Soldier) because I KNEW they were once again gonna do the thing where they give all of Steve and Bucky's interactions to Peggy and Steve and say that this time they are romantic even though they definitely weren't when it was 2 very straight bros (lol) so. Let's get into it (spoilers for s2e5 of What If, obviously):
When Peggy finds out Steve is alive she goes to Nick Fury and he tells her there have been rumors of this for decades; Peggy's angry he and Natasha didn't tell her - this is interesting because in TWS Peggy was part of the organization that was hiding rumors about Bucky from Steve. Peggy is objecting to something she was part of in the actual MCU
Natasha says "the Steve Rogers that you loved died in 1953" - a similar sentiment to what people were saying to Steve about Bucky but more overtly romantic. They throw the word "love" around in the episode quite a few times, like they need to make it extra clear
Bucky (who's old and working for SHIELD) finds out Steve is alive and his reaction is pretty tame, like he's surprised and I guess happy but he doesn't really seem to care that much which is just ridiculous (especially bc in this timeline Steve and Bucky kept working together for several years after the war) - Bucky is also stated to have had a wife and kids and has clearly moved on from Steve in the way Peggy did in the original movies
The Hydra Stomper (Steve) is going to kill Bucky, Bucky stands in front of him to talk him down. He doesn't want to kill Steve which is obviously good and in character. The thing he says to try to get Steve to snap out of it is "let's get a drink" which cracked me up because is that the no homo version of "end of the line" for these writers?? Anyway, Steve does lower his gun but then he raises it again (we don't see if he would have actually killed Bucky because Peggy intervenes at this point)
There's a romantic scene where Peggy and Steve bond over their shared traumas which... shared life experience, anyone? (What If I threw myself off a cliff?) - it does turn out that Steve is secretly still brainwashed at this point and is trying to lure Peggy in so idk how seriously I should take this scene
In terms of dialogue, the final fight scene between Peggy and Steve is very similar to the one with Steve and Bucky in TWS. Eventually, Peggy drops her shield and tells Steve that she doesn't want to fight him, and is going to let him kill her. The line she says that gets him to stop is "I want to be with you. Even if this is the end. I want you." She also says "I can't lose you again." This is basically EXACTLY what "I'm with you til the end of the line means", but a bit less ambiguous (and also less poetic, the original line is obviously much better)
Steve doesn't kill Peggy, he flies off (but he also doesn't save her life like Bucky does for Steve in TWS so. Inferior)
At the end, Peggy is planning to go find Steve, even though nobody thinks she'll be able to save him (again, basically the exact same as TWS)
My concluding thoughts:
It's hard to say what Marvel's exact goal is with the phenomenon of giving so many of Steve and Bucky's interactions to Steve and Peggy in EU content, but it's definitely gotten pretty ridiculous and out of hand. There is an instinct to accuse them of homophobia and wanting to rewrite Steve and Bucky's story to make it straight/less significant, but I also wonder if the bigger factor is that the writers know that Steve and Peggy's canon ending makes no sense considering how underdeveloped their relationship was, and they want to trick viewers into thinking they had a better written romance by giving them more meaningful moments in What If (and also Rogers The Musical but that's for another post). That being said, if the best way to write a better romance you can think of is to use the exact same plotline the supposedly straight protagonist had with his male best friend (but that people have been interpreting as a romance for years and years) then maybe you should be reflecting on why that is. Ultimately though it's just lazy writing (have some originality!) and will never erase the fact that the real movies were gay as hell. I'll definitely be taking this as further proof that TWS was a romance all along.

Writing Patterns/First 10 Lines Tag Game
I discovered @emeraldhazeart 's post on this but I'm afraid I don't know who started this game. It looked fun though so I spent like an hour digging up old links and writing this out lol
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!
I didn't realize I'd actually posted ten but here we go! Order is from oldest to newest and only includes the Undertale works I've posted on the internet.
Siren Call 2017 (Classic Timeline feat. my first Undertale OC. Currently abandoned but I have started to rewrite it.)
A catchy tune resonated from the speakers all over the grocery store.
The Hand We've Been Dealt 2019 on Quotev or 2023 on AO3 (Underfell Timeline feat. another OC. Still in progress.)
The sunset certainly was beautiful from up here.
Crazy & Cold 2023 (A Horrortale oneshot ten years post-surfacing.)
Most people probably would've called you crazy.
Nomadic Love 2023 (A post-Echotale oneshot.)
The sun glinted off the clear ocean waves as they lapped at the sandy shoreline before receding back into their bed.
THWBD: Rihanna Lives 2023 (Alternate timeline of The Hand We've Been Dealt.)
You walked carefully through the snow, cringing slightly from the loud crunching sound it made, interrupting the otherwise quiet winter morning.
The Nightmare of Apathy 2023 (An Undertale multiverse fic in progress.)
"Don't forget to refuel your lantern before you leave!"
Nightmare Cuddles 2023 (A semi-canon oneshot for The Nightmare of Apathy.)
The soft pitter patter of rain on the bay window had lulled you into a deep slumber hours ago but now had picked up into a torrential storm.
Have Some Empathy, Dear 2024 (An Undertale multiverse fic.)
It was a dreary day today, yet despite the overcast sky and brisk breeze that often whipped snow into your face, it was the nicest it had been in days.
The Shopping List 2024 (A Classic Timeline oneshot feat. Papyrus.)
With a heavy sigh, you shut your locker and locked it with the combination lock.
A Gentle Soldier 2024 (An Undertale multiverse oneshot.)
You were simple person, just doing what you could to get by in the world.
Conclusion: I am a very descriptive/visual writer and most of the time I start out my stories with describing where the characters are or what's going on. There are a few outliers of course but I generally go for this route and apparently have the entire time I've been writing Undertale fanfiction. I think there's always places I could improve of course but I can see that I have gotten better, even in the last couple of months.

An Accidental Flogging
The Second Worst Trip to Mordor Ever Taken
Even Flowers Have Their Dangers
Screw Todd, Steve's Her (His) Daddy Now
5. Do you respond to comments? Always
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? It's not angsty but this one will ruin your day and it's only 442 words: i was afraid to follow
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Almost all of my fics have happy endings but I am told that Something to Tweet About is a sticky sweet happy ending.
8. Do you get hate on fics? No but I don't write anything polarizing.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Ohhhh I write smut. 😘
10. Do you write crossovers? Not really. I write "Fandom A in Fandom B's world" types sometimes but the characters don't crossover. I wrote a Dirty Dancing Stranger Things called Nobody's Baby.
11. Are any of your fics converted into podfics? Yes! I have two by amazing podders that I'm incredibly grateful to - check them out!
Destroy the Silence read by @rufusbear

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Listen - don't come at me. I'm gonna finish all my WIPs, okay?
16. What are your writing strengths? Mmmm, story pacing, dialogue, good banter, humor, fluff, consent communication, character development and somehow working music into most of my fics.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? visual world building. I have aphantasia so sometimes I'll just forget to describe the world around them because I can't see it anyway.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I think a few common words here and there are fine but not full sentences of a language you don't speak. Advice from Brandon Sanderson that I write by: be vague or you create plot holes and inconsistencies.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Winterhawk
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? Loaded question here. I'm gonna say two. My first is actually a Steve Rogers/Clint Barton series where Clint is a soldier and meets Steve Rogers during the war - he falls from the train, not Bucky. It's called A Bird By Any Other Name and I love it. My second is Even Flowers Have Their Dangers which is Stranger Things rewrite of the end of S4 and what I think S5 would look like if Steve and the kids had turned into werewolves in the tunnels in S2.

for never have i ever: amnesia?
Tumblr media
HIII thank you both <333
never have i ever written amnesia, believe it or not, even though i'm a HUGE fan, as in, it's my number one bestie. actually, no, i sort of have to take that back...i've lowkey written amnesia INTO larger stuff, but never an amnesia fic on its own. so there's been: a couple of da kmeme fills with fenris who has amnesia (they're lost to the sands of time now), ben originally had amnesia during his djinn dream in @cambionverse (but it got cut and revised), and i wrote derek as having amnesia about his encounters with jennifer in anchor. but not an Actual Amnesia Fic. every time i try to think about how i'd want to do it i sort of...blank out? there's so many ways to do it i get too excited and want to do all of them at once and then something else comes along and grabs my attention. i can't tell you how many times i tried to toss around a leverage amnesia fic and just couldn't settle anywhere.
so, just off the top of my head, as a thought experiment...i'd want it to be trek because that's what i'm into rn. i actually started to formulate this as a generations fixit (kirk in the nexus can't remember his old life/that he died/something something + spock and bones pull him out) but there's a small, small, SMALL chance i might ACTUALLY write a generations fixit (sans amnesia, sadly) so i don't want to do it here and accidentally make myself less likely to do it fr in the future.
my second choice is kira/odo because i have been thinking about them nonstop for a WEEK, possibly longer. since you can't have amnesia without brainwashing, i would have odo get mindwiped and carted back to the founders or whatever. and since it's my fic and i can do what i want odo remembers like, ds9's weak points and security routines but he doesn't remember any of the people or being friends with them. so he's like helping the bad guys do evil bad guy stuff or whatever and then when the good guys are almost beat they board the defiant and he and kira are fighting until she says something important and just as she's about to go down for good he oh my fucking god i'm just rewriting the winter soldier. god damn it. maybe this is the real reason i've ever done an amnesia fic. embarrassing. winter soldier wasn't the thing that introduced me to a love of brainwashed amnesiac assassins but it is the thing that made me crazy about them. ANYWAY. let me try again.
so odo gets his memories wiped so he'll return to that great collective or whatever. and he learns what it means to Be A Changeling. he can perfect the human face like that other evil changeling that i hate. so he doesn't look like odo anymore when he changes into a humanoid form, but also he doesn't do that because THEY only did that to communicate with him and kira, so he doesn't even NEED a humanoid form. and he's like yay im so happy here i love being a changeling :) except when somebody stumbles onto their asteroid or he needs to open a door or whatever requires a humanoid form...he just winds up becoming kira. and maybe he catches sight of his/kira's face in the reflection on the water or something and is like Whoa...who is That and that other changeling lady is like dw about it come back to the goop so he does but he also keeps insisting he can't have made that form w/o seeing her and he wants to know where. and since he's got such a good sixth sense about solving unsolved mysteries he solves his own mystery of who he is and how he got there. meanwhile the ds9 gang are searching EVERYWHEREEE for him and when they finally go check the asteroid odo goes out to meet them in kiraform and is very surprised to see. kira. and everybody else is like who tf is this why is this changeling pretending to be kira but kira knows Right Away it HAS to be odo and so they recognize each other even when they aren't able to recognize each other, which is basically the same thing that happened when they met. and odo either intimidates that other changeling into giving his memories back or he remembers on his own and they leave together and live happily ever after.
WHEW. you guys thought you were throwing me softballs but i was sweating bullets over that thing. kiraodo winter soldier au would be fun as hell though don't lie

Spidersona universe lore
This is for my own benefit of cataloguing things on here as well as by request from @rebootgrimm who was asking about things the other day.
I've written Acid Spider's story twice and deleted both documents but some things have carried over each time so I'm just gonna ramble under the cut about the main gang plus some random side details! So uh apologies for the word vomit below
Warnings: Mentions of disease and death
Charlie Felicity Parker / Acid Spider
AFAB, gender fluid, panromantic, acespec
Grew up with their dad, Peter Parker, who was murdered when they were eleven so for their teen years they moved from the UK to the US to stay with Aunt May and Uncle Ben
Otto Octavius and J Jonah Jameson are their godfathers (yeah, Peter was actually buddies with Jameson in this universe)
They always end up having some tension with Deadpool and Daredevil
They've known Felix since they were little but don't know they're twins
They had a brief crush on Harley but got over that after gaining their super hero powers
They chose the name Acid Spider and their suit's colour palette as an ode to the spider that bit them (it was green and black)
They got bitten by a spider at a Stark Expo trip they went on for university
Their middle name was named after their mother
Fluently speaks spanish because their mother was spanish and they wanted to feel closer to her even they never met her
Finds it easier to be how they are when they're Acid Spider
Felix Benjamin Hardy / Black Cat
AMAB, cisgender, gay
CEO of The Hardy Foundation
Didn't see his mother (Felicia Hardy) much as a child due to her being in jail for international thievery
Is best friends with Charlie
His middle name was named after his father and his first name was named after his mother
He took super soldier serum from his mother so he could be more able to stop Charlie from getting into trouble
Was dating MJ but they broke things off after MJ received the Venom symbiote
Got really annoyed at Charlie when they modelled his super suit after Chat Noir but couldn't stay mad for long
Fluently speaks spanish because his mother was spanish
Michael-Johnathan "MJ" Watson
AFAB, transgender, bisexual
Was part of the Widow training program as a child
Never knew his parents but Natasha sort of adopted him after breaking him out of the Widow training facility
Dated Felix for a while before they split up due to Venom
Was kind of pissed when he first received Venom but they learnt how to work together
Will fuck your shit up between the Symbiote and his Widow training
Works alongside the Avengers as a secret operative
Harley Osborn
AFAB, cishet
Her father (Harry Osborn) died when she was little due to a genetic disease in their family, and she was left to be raised by her grandfather, Norman Osborn
Norman's goblin side forced her to take the goblin serum to keep her alive when her own disease got worse
Was the first to know that MJ was working for the Avengers
COO of Osborn Industries
Loves doing tech designs but isn't great at social interactions
Miscellaneous
Mysterio and Chameleon are evil lesbians
Chameleon is a Hydra super soldier and worked alongside The Winter Soldier
Gwen Stacey is a Sorcerer Supreme and is married to Loki (who is ruler of Asgard), and no, I don't remember why my brain decided on this but it stuck
Tony Stark and Stephen Strange are married
Stephanie Rogers (yeah, I wanted a fem cap) and Bucky Barnes are dating
Felicia Hardy is albino
Otto and Norman had a fling and so did Peter and Harry, but due to Harley being straight that trend did not continue a third generation (and yes, this is something Otto and Norman argue about TO THIS DAY)
There's an alternate timeline as to things that happen after Charlie finds out who killed Peter and it's way darker... (But if you wanna know about it I'm happy to tell)
Anyway I'm also thinking of rewriting this story for a third time and maybe actually posting it depending on the quality but I also have loads of WIPs right now so who knows

Chapter 4: Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Partners in crime
Tumblr media
Part 4:
“We need a public place to check the drive, the mall will do. They’re after you so once they’ll know we’re with you, it will be easier to be made.” I explained to Steve as we were at our place, planning the mission.
“How much time do we need to get this done?” Rogers pointed at the drive. “About 10 minutes. We get in, and in about 2 minutes we’ll be at the store, stay low. You will need to cover me, so I can check what’s on it,” Natasha detailed. “Y/n you should stay outside, the three of us would be way too easy to see,” Steve said and I raised an eyebrow. “Why me? You’re not much needed in this part,” I tilted my head. “Fury gave me the drive, didn’t he?” He asked with a smug face and I just sighed. “I’ll be outside in a car, and I’ll get through the security cameras just in case they’ll find us.” “Great, let’s get some clothes then we can go,” Natasha stood up from the couch. “I’ll find you something,” I said to Steve.
***
“He is literally useless in a situation like this. He is so recognizable and big and not good in scenarios like this,” I murmured angrily as I was getting changed. “It’s not even an exciting mission, don’t be angry,” Natasha said carefully. “I don’t care, it's still a mission.”
***
“I’ve never been on the watch-out before, this is really boring,” I spoke through the comms as Natasha and Steve walked into the mall. “It’ll be done quickly, don’t stress about it,” Nat said lowly. “Still.”
“First rule of going on the run is, don't run, walk,” got the instruction, Steve. “If I run in these shoes, they're gonna fall off.” “I would laugh so hard,” I smirked as I watched his form walk past a camera.
Once they got to the Mac store, Natasha quickly got to work. “The drive has a Level Six homing program, so as soon as we boot up, SHIELD will know exactly where we are,” Natasha said. “How much time do we have?” “Uh...about nine minutes from…” heard typing then she spoke again. “Now. Fury was right about that ship, somebody's trying to hide something. This drive is protected by some sort of AI, it keeps rewriting itself to counter my commands.” “Can you override it?” “The person who developed this is slightly smarter than me. Slightly.” “You can do this easily, no need to be modest,” I murmured, then I saw Rumlow getting out of a car.
“Listen up, we have company. Rumlow and his team are just about to walk into the mall.” I said and Steve looked around not so subtly. “I'm gonna try running a tracer. This is a program that SHIELD developed to track hostile malware, so if we can't read the file, maybe we can find out where it came from.” “Come on Nat, you can do this faster.”
“Can I help you guys with anything?” A guy walked up to them. “Oh that’s just great,” I sighed but Nat was quick to jump to action. “Oh, no. My fiancé was just helping me with some honeymoon destinations.” “Your what?” My eyes widened and I couldn’t believe what I just heard. “Right! We're getting married.” “Wow, don’t jump out of your skin, Rogers.”
“Congratulations. Where do you guys thinking about going?” Asked the guy. “Say New Jersey,” I said quickly but Steve looked at the screen. “New Jersey,” he said unsurely. Great, just great.
“Oh…” the guy looked at Steve like he just recognized him. “That’s amazing, what did I say about this? I wanted to ignore the same exact thing!” I spoke in the comms.
“I have the exact same glasses.” “Wow, you two are practically twins,” Natasha said with no interest in their conversation. “Yeah, I wish. Specimen. Uh...if you guys need anything, I've been Aaron.” “Well, fuck you, Aaron,” I said as I watched him walk away. “Y/n, please don’t make me laugh,” Nat snickered. “Wasn’t intentional.”
“You said nine minutes, come on,” Steve said, hurrying Natasha. “Shh, relax. Got it.” Rogers looked at the screen and his face was in shock. “You know it?” “I used to. Let's go,” he pulled the drive out and they made their way out.
“Standard tac-team. Two behind, to across, two coming straight at us,” I shared what I saw. “If they make us, I'll engage, you hit the south escalator to the metro,” Steve spoke.
They soon reached the escalator and the next moment I saw Rumlow on the other side of it. “Rumlow at 11!” I said loudly and Nat quickly recognized the situation and turned around.
“Kiss me.” Excuse me?! “You did not just say that,” I murmured and leaned back in my seat. “What?” Steve asked, his cheeks already getting tinted. I could see them even through the goddamn cameras. “Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable,” Natasha stated. “Don’t you dare, Romanoff.” I already took out my comms and just watched the screen.
Natasha quickly pulled down Steve's head and kissed him, making Rumlow look away as he went past them on the escalator. Once they let go, Natasha’s hood fell off which was very unprofessional by the way, and they made their way downstairs.

I left the key on the dash at the front and quickly got into the back before I had to speak with either of them.
Once they neared the car, Natasha was already looking for me. But I ignored her.
“Ready to go?” Steve asked awkwardly. “Sure.” “Y/n I’m-“ “Don’t talk to me. I don’t care. There were millions of ways to get out of that situation and you chose that one,” I said and I sat behind her so I could see the back of her head at tops.
***
It was a 3,5-hour drive. A very long time for 3 people who were in a very tense situation. And Natasha was the first to break the silence.
“Where did Captain America learn how to steal a car?” “Nazi Germany.” “That’s oddly depressing,” I said. “And we're borrowing. Take your feet off the dash,” Steve instructed Nat, and as he asked she took her feet down. “Alright, I have a question for you, oh, which you do not have to answer. I feel like if you don't answer it though, you're kind of answering it, you know?” “What?” “Was that your first kiss since 1945?” She asked. Of course, your girlfriend is not sitting in the back at all.
“That bad, huh?” Steve said with a grumpy look. “I didn't say that,” a way to say it was good. “Well, it kind of sounds like that's what you're saying,” poor man can’t read behind the lines. “No, I didn't. I just wondered how much practice you've had,” I’m gonna kill her.
“You don't need practice,” Steve defended himself while he was trying to concentrate on the road. “Everybody needs practice,” and she presses and presses. “Steve, can you stop for a minute, please?” I interfered with their conversation.
He looked at me through the mirror and Natasha turned around to take a look at me. “You okay?” He asked. “Yeah, just need a minute.”
Rogers pulled to the side of the road and the car stopped. “Romanoff, get out of the car,” I said and I stepped out. Walking a little away from the car, I heard the car door opening and then closing.
I turned around and saw her standing a few feet away from me, hands in her pockets.
“I hope you’re enjoying yourself,” I started and she opened her mouth to speak. “No, I’m talking,” holding up my hand she nodded.
“Remember when we talked about how you don’t know much about a healthy and honest relationship?” She nodded. “I didn’t want to believe in the pink clouds phase because I really thought that this is different.” I shrugged and started to walk around a bit. “But you know, this, what you’re doing right now is so fucking… I don’t even know how to describe it,” I threw my hands in the air and she just listened carefully.
“You are such a good agent, a spy and you really want to tell me that kissing him was the only option to get out of there? Natasha, I’m not stupid,” I shook my head. Her eyes were filled with worry and she was chewing on her lips. I hate to see her so anxious but I’m mad and I need her to hear me.
“And you are just pressing this whole conversation in the car like I’m not even there! I understand that this is new, but we’ve been together for a little now and I can’t believe you didn’t get how this works.”
If you think about it, this is our first fight. Would people say I should break up with her because she kissed someone else while we were together? Someone probably would. But no. I love her, and even though I hate her to my gut right now, I know that probably tomorrow night we will be all cuddly with each other after a long talk.
She took a deep breath and looked down at her feet. “I know that you hate scolding me so thanks for this… I guess. But uhm… I am sorry. Sometimes I don’t think about these things, which is a problem, I know, but I’m trying most of the time. And Steve… I don’t like him, not even attracted to him, he’s just so easy to mess with and sometimes I can’t control this and I’m sorry about this too,” her big doe eyes just dripping with guilt.
Natasha slowly walked closer and carefully took a hold of my hand. I looked at our intertwined fingers, her thumb softly brushing over my hand.
Picking up my head, we locked eyes and all I could think about is how much I need her in my life, and without her, I would be dead.
“I love you with my whole heart Natalia and I don’t want to lose you. So please don’t flirt with Steve, or anyone on that note,” I cracked a smile and she nodded with a cute smile too. “Can I get a kiss?” She asked and I laughed. “Not before you wash your mouth, I’m not kissing you after you kissed grandpa.”

“Nobody special, though?” Asked Nat as we continued our journey. Steve scoffed. “Believe it or not, it's kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience,” he said. “It would be very boring if people only dated people with whom they share the same experiences. You need to expand your horizons, Rogers,” am I not right?
“Well, that's alright, you just make something up,” said Nat. “What, like you?” Not personal at all…
“I don't know. The truth is a matter of circumstances, it's not all things to all people all the time. And neither am I,” the smirk on her face did not disappear. “That's a tough way to live.” “It's a good way not to die, though,” she looked back at me with a look in her eyes that gave me butterflies like I was some crazy teenager.
“You know, it's kind of hard to trust someone when you don't know who that someone really is,” Steve gave her a look and she thought for a second then answered. “Yeah. Who do you want me to be?” “How about a friend?” He asked and she smiled. “Well, there's a chance you might be in the wrong business, Rogers.”
