The Thrall of Magic XI - 2020's (V)
Chapter Summary: No, Wanda Maximoff, much like magic itself, isn’t very subtle.
But Agatha knows magic.  Wanda?  She’s still trying to figure her out.
Hopefully, it won’t take her another three hundred years to do so.

In the morning, they fight.
If it can even still be called morning anymore, given just how long Wanda tries to sleep away what Agatha knows is a hangover.  Agatha doesn’t have one herself, but she’d placed a glass of water and some aspirin next to the bed when she left in the hope that Wanda would take care of herself before coming downstairs.
(In the hope that maybe Wanda would remember something of the night before.)
But Wanda doesn’t remember anything, doesn’t even remember that she’d made her shirt mimic Agatha’s herself, and from her reactions, she certainly doesn’t remember that Agatha is, well, Agatha.
It’s disappointing, to say the least.  Even more disappointing is that after all that effort Agatha put into teaching Wanda to trust her again yesterday, it suddenly doesn’t matter.  She sighs, grits her teeth, and this time, when Wanda snipes at her, she says, unable to keep the bitterness out of her voice, “Wanda, dear, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it by now.”  She gestures to the shirt with one hand.  “That was the point of the shirt, hon.”
The revelation of her magic for something so simple and mundane as—
It doesn’t matter if Wanda doesn’t remember.
But Wanda doesn’t take her medicine, even though she goes upstairs, and Wanda won’t eat any of Agatha’s food, even though she’s clearly hungry and food will help with her hangover, because Wanda apparently thinks that the witch who hasn’t killed her yet would have more fun poisoning her food than actually trying to help her.  The gall of it sits deep in Agatha’s stomach, churns there the same way she once would have churned milk into butter, turning what might once have been anxieties into frustrations instead.  Annoyances.  Her unsubtle attempts to kill Wanda in a subtle attempt to get Wanda to put up the protection spells that every witch should know how to make have had more of an effect then every other time Agatha could have killed Wanda and didn’t, more than Agatha even trying to point that out.
“I don’t want to hurt you, love.  You might not trust me enough to believe that, but—”  Agatha cuts herself off because Wanda huffs and crosses her arms and acts very much like she won’t believe that and not only won’t believe it but feels annoyed with Agatha for even suggesting it.  “Fine.”  She shoves the bowl of oatmeal she had been eating from into Wanda’s lap.  “Just take mine, hon.  I obviously didn’t poison that one.”
“You really think I’m going to—”
Agatha shoots her a look.  “I’m not going to jeopardize my life just to kill you, dear.  What kind of idiot do you take me for?”  She pushes herself up off the couch and shoves her hands into her pockets.  “You’re the superhero here.  Not me.”
But when Agatha stalks off into the kitchen, half-feigning anger (lies are always at their strongest when they are half full of truth), all she does is conjure up a second bowl of oatmeal to match the first and stands just inside the doorframe to stare at Wanda.  Her eyes narrow as the great prophesied Scarlet Witch struggles to eat, first staring at the bowl in her lap before tentatively lifting the spoon to her lips, then gagging on the bite before forcing it down.
But she gets it down.  She takes another bite.
That’s…something.
Agatha starts to stick her fingers into the magic surrounding both of them and then hesitates.  Even without calling it to her for greater understanding, she feels it swirling around her, wanting to help her, wanting to….
To what?
Best not to look.  For once in her life, after months of trying to quit cold turkey, Agatha can resist the impulse.  Best not to look.
Agatha waits until she sees Wanda taking a third bite, waits until Wanda seems to have calmed enough to continue eating without seeming to think too terribly much about it, and then returns to the couch, sitting in her same place and propping her heels up on her coffee table.  The first bite from her new bowl isn’t as good – for all that magic is magic, there’s still a difference between magically conjured food and what she spends time and effort crafting, even if that difference is all in her mind.
(It isn’t all in her mind; she’d run double blind experiments with Cian over the years, and the magically conjured food always ranked lower.  With the exception of their first use of the Time Stone, but given what they’d seen….
Well, no food would have tasted good.
Or so Agatha assumes.  It isn’t as though they’d ever explicitly told her what they’d seen.  She’d just had to guess at it through subtle implications here and there – and then, well.  They died.  Half of the universe’s population disappeared.  She has a good idea of what they’d seen now.)
Wanda barely glances up as Agatha enters.  She pauses with the spoon halfway to her mouth, swallows hard.  When Agatha raises an eyebrow, she furrows her brows and stares down at her bowl of oatmeal.  “What?”
“You don’t have to stop eating on account of me, hon.”  Agatha lifts her spoon and gestures to Wanda’s bowl.  “I’m not poisoning it with just my presence.”
Wanda’s fingers clench tighter along her bowl.  “You poison everything with your presence,” she mutters under her breath.  Then she gives a little shake of her head and forces herself to eat another bite.
This time, Agatha doesn’t say anything.  That would be stooping to whatever level Wanda has decided to be on today, which would be fun at any other time, but not right now, when Wanda is determined to hate her.  To hurt her.  When anything and everything she says will probably be taken in exactly the wrong way because Wanda wants to be an internet troll to any and every fact she might be given.
About halfway through, Wanda admits, softer than anything, so soft she probably doesn’t even mean for Agatha to hear it, “This is really good.”
Agatha snorts.  “Of course, it is, sugar cube.  I’ve had centuries to perfect it.  Everything I cook is good.  You’re just lucky enough to taste it.”  Spinning subtleties – age as authority, marking herself as good (this is a lie, it’s a lie), calling Wanda lucky.  Little bits and pieces of words that can sink into her mind, things Wanda won’t catch or know that she needs to catch.  Things that probably won’t even stick.  She sighs.  “Thank you,” she murmurs, much softer, “for the compliment.”
“You deserve it.”
The breath catches in Agatha’s throat, and she nearly chokes.  She coughs twice, spluttering, and then shoots Wanda a look when the other witch doesn’t do anything about it.  “Little help here?”
Wanda shakes her head.  “Like I care if you die.”
“Ouch.”  Agatha places a hand over her heart and feigns being hurt.  “You wound me.  You’re so cruel!”
At her words, Wanda flinches.  “I’m not cruel, Agatha.  You’re the one who tried to kill me.  You are the one who lured me to a location where I couldn’t use my magic—”
“—and you are the one who cursed me to be a sitcom character for all of eternity.  I’d call that one overkill, hon.”  Agatha places her now empty bowl on the coffee table and then leans back comfortably against the back of the couch once more.  “You want to talk, dear?  Well, let’s talk.”  She spreads her hands out in front of her.  “I’m an open book.  What do you want to know?”
Wanda follows Agatha’s lead and sets her own, half-eaten bowl of oatmeal to the side.  “When did you break my spell?” she asks immediately, and not in the conversational sort of tone Agatha would like, but one that’s much more frustrated.  “How did you change back?”
“You really think I’m going to tell you that?”  Agatha lets out a cackle, loud and bright.  “I’m not stupid, babe.  You’d just curse me again, and then where would I be?  Not having any of this, I’ll tell you that.”
“You told me how the protection spell works.”
“Because that was something you needed to know.”  Agatha gives Wanda a firm look and waits until the littlest witch meets her eyes, waits even longer to see if her gaze drops with shame.  “Every witch – not even the ones worth their salt, like you and I are – every witch learns that spell first.”  She points to the runes carved into her walls.  “Each of those runes protects you from harm, from magic turning its back on you and having its way with you, and you were a fool to try and craft your entire Hex without having that up to keep it from killing you.”
Wanda scoffs.  “I wouldn’t have died—”
Agatha chuckles, dark.  “Wanda, hon, your brain was so overloaded with all the spells you were maintaining – foolish, again, any witch who knows anything knows not to tie their spells to themselves in perpetuity, you make concrete changes, and you—”  She cuts herself off, trembles with her own frustration, and gives a little shake of her head.  “You saw the way the Hex glitched after you expanded it, but you couldn’t see how you were glitching.  From the very beginning, Wanda, you were glitching, and I had to step in and fix things so you wouldn’t consume yourself with your foolish—”
“You could change things?” Wanda interrupts.  Her eyes widen imperceptibly, and her head tilts to one side as she considers Agatha, as she considers what she’s just heard.  “You told me spells, once cast, couldn’t be altered.”
“I also pretended to try and kill you, Wanda.  Keep with the program.”  Agatha waves one hand dismissively.  “That isn’t the point, hon—”
“I could have kept my family?” Wanda hisses out, glaring at her.  “You could change my spells, and you didn’t change things so they could have lived?”
Agatha stares at the fury of a witch who cannot harm her.  She stares, and she doesn’t say anything at first, just lets Wanda’s face grow more and more red with her anger, and then finally, finally says, “You would have died, love.  It would have killed you.”
Wanda’s eyes grow dark.  “Then you should have let me die.”
“If you died, hon, they would have died, too.  That’s what casting a spell in perpetuity means.  They weren’t permanent creations; they were tied to you.  Sucking your magic.  Your life.  And you would have died trying to keep them alive, and then they would have died, and no good would have come out of it at all.”  Agatha reaches out and hesitantly places a hand over Wanda’s.  ‘There was no way I or you or any other lesser witch could have fixed those spells to keep them alive.  I didn’t lie to you when I said your spells were broken, hon.  They were.  I did what I could to save you, and that was hard enough.”
Agatha almost continues, almost suggests that she wouldn’t have saved them even if she could.  The boys, perhaps, deserved more than the few days of life they were given – even if those days made them look like they’d been given years, there would always be those gaps in their memories, those dynamics of family life that would have come from the time they’d lived together through those years that got skipped entirely – but from the way Wanda acted in the Hex itself, the way she’d kept Vision from her while everything fell apart, the way she’d come to Agatha herself for comfort instead of—
She’s lived with a broken family.  She’s been a broken family.
….
It doesn’t matter.  She couldn’t have saved them anyway.
“Why did you save me?” Wanda asks, not looking up.  “I’m the Scarlet Witch.  I’m destined to destroy the world.  It would have been better if I died.  You could have let me die.”
“Oh, I don’t know.”  Agatha lifts one shoulder half-heartedly.  “You didn’t deserve that.  Not then, and not now.”  She catches the frozen look on Wanda’s face, the way Wanda starts to look at her the way she did after realizing she loved her, like looking at something and examining her, like looking for flaws, and she immediately backpedals, immediately says something else to cover her words.  “Besides, the sex was good.  Didn’t really feel like letting you die after that.”
That’s easier than saying she hadn’t expected Wanda to accept the title of Scarlet Witch – any witch who knows anything would have known better than to do that, but then Wanda hadn’t known the most basic of protection spells, so why she thought she would know about her.  It’s also easier than getting into the other prophesies regarding the Scarlet Witch: clarifications, specifications, elaborations on things mentioned in the Darkhold, which is not the greatest source to begin with, which anyone who knew anything would know.
Agatha’s frustration towards Wanda’s severe lack of knowledge only grows, and it isn’t calmed by the look of shock and disgust that Wanda shoots in her direction at her words.  She just rolls her eyes.  “Don’t look at me like that, lover girl.  The sex was good, and you know it was good, which is why you came back.”  Not so subtle change of subject, but subtle enough that Wanda will probably fall for it.  “That’s why you’re here, isn’t it?  You were all over me last night—”
“You started that.”
“—which is so much worse than it was before.”  Agatha doesn’t darken or harden.  She just pushes.  “At least in the Hex, you wouldn’t have used Agnes as your fuck puppet, but now that you’ve decided you don’t care about Agatha Harkness, it’s fine to use her to—”
“I didn’t.”  Wanda snaps, and she snaps the words out, and her fingertips dig into the cushions, scarlet magic swirling between her fingers.  She doesn’t even look up at Agatha, just tenses and stares out in front of her.  “I didn’t, and that’s not why I came, and I told you I didn’t, and I would never—”
“You almost did, hon.”
“But. I. didn’t.”
Wanda takes a deep breath, but she still can’t look up, and she still won’t look at Agatha, and she still refuses to meet her eyes.  She just stares out in front of her, unfocused, knuckles so tight they might as well be white, the magic threading between them looking for somewhere, anywhere to go, but unable to go after Agatha, even if they’re sent to her.  “You don’t….”  She starts to say it, swallows, and shakes her head.  “It doesn’t matter what you did, you don’t deserve that.”
“Means a lot coming from the woman who locked me in my own mind for daring to oppose her.”
“You tried to kill me.”
“I know, hon.”  Agatha lets out a stifled bark of a laugh, just one sharp cough.  “You thought I tried to kill you, so you did the worst thing you could think to do to me.  Then you left me here.  Alone.”  She stares forward, away from Wanda, and lets herself speak.  “Did you even think of what people would do to me?  What they could do to me?  Did you think enough to put any protections on—”  She cuts herself off with another coughed laugh.  “Of course, you didn’t.  You didn’t even know what a protection spell was.”
“Stop,” Wanda whispers.  “Please, stop.”
Agatha stops.  Nods once.  Then asks again, “Why are you here, Wanda?  Why did you come back to Westview?”
I want—
“I don’t know,” Wanda says instead, the thought still ringing in the air between them.  “I don’t know what I thought I’d find, but this….”  She lets out a long breath and laughs, a harsh, cruel thing.  “This isn’t it.”  Then she pushes herself up from the couch, walks through the living room, and out the front door, letting it click softly shut behind her.
Agatha sits on the couch and waits.  She stares at the closed door, waiting for Wanda to storm back in the same way she stormed off.  A part of her starts to reach out her mind as though to brush against the younger witch’s, but she recoils from that.  That’s not what she wants.  And when Wanda doesn’t return, she lets out a sigh, gathers their bowls, and takes them to the kitchen to clean.
The thing of it is this: Agatha Harkness doesn’t believe in miracles, and expecting Wanda to return for her, to stay here with her, to trust her would, right now, be a pretty big miracle.  She knows enough to be grateful the little witch who could didn’t try to overcome her spell, didn’t do more than just walk out.  If she’d take it, that would be a miracle, but she won’t.
Magic curves about her wrists, about her ankles, about her neck.  Sometimes, it feels like a chain, holding her here, to a life she doesn’t think she deserves.  More times than not, if she’s honest with herself.  Right now, it’s softer than that, gentler, and she doesn’t stop herself before she says, “I don’t know what you want from me.”
It’s the truth.
She’s never known what magic wants from her, if it wants anything at all.
Magic runs through her veins the same way it runs through the veins of all witches, living or dead, but trying to determine which came first is a chicken and the egg discussion.  Did magic fill them first?  Or did witches notice magic and try to bring it under their control first?  Did they feel it thrumming within them and wonder what else it touched?  Who can say?  Perhaps the reason magic lashes out at those trying to corral it so often is that this was never its intent.  It gave gifts, and humans used those gifts to try and overcome the giver.
Very few witches actually love magic.  They see it as a tool to use for their own purposes.  Under the influence of the Darkhold, Agatha did as well, telling herself that she still loved it the same as she always did.  But at one point, she did, and now again, she does.
Wanda, on the other hand….
A witch who has never been trained cannot truly know what magic is.  She does not know its language and so cannot speak to it, cannot love it.  Not for what it is.  She doesn’t even see it as a tool.
She doesn’t see it at all.
~
“Well,” Agatha speaks into the emptiness of her house as she finishes cleaning the dishes, as she sets them just to one side to dry, “it’s just you and me again, isn’t it?”
Magic might listen to her, but it never really responds.  That’s fine.  She’s certain that it doesn’t feel lonely, not the way she does, given how easily it connects with everything else in the cosmos, but she sense that it doesn’t feel particularly happy with this outcome.  Or maybe that’s her own unease coloring the whole.  She can’t know.  For all that she’s loved and studied magic, there are still things about it that she cannot understand – and perhaps never will.
Then soft, cool hands find their place at the small of Agatha’s waist, and she relaxes into them with a purr.  “Wondered when you would come back, hon.”
“Hush.”
Agatha ignores that.  “Did you find what you wanted out there, Wanda?  Did you figure out why it is you came back?”  She turns in her arms and leans against the kitchen counter.  The way this presses against her back should make her uncomfortable, but this time, it doesn’t.  Then she reaches out and asks without words, Or are you too afraid to ask?
Do you love me? Wanda thinks at the same moment that she asks, “Was any of it real?”  The words she says are so much softer, so much more intimate than her thoughts, which yowl as a kitten demanding attention.
“Oh, my dear girl,” Agatha chuckles, reaching up just enough to brush her fingertips through Wanda’s hair.  “I already told you.  I always wanted….”  Her gaze drops to Wanda’s lips.  “Everything that happened in the Hex was real.  All of it.  Vision was real.”  As she speaks, she feels Wanda flinch away from her.  “Your boys were real.”  She places her hand on Wanda’s waist, holding her there as she trembles.  “And me?  Hon.  You could never have created someone like me.”  Her eyes lift, peer into those emerald orbs, and holds their gaze.  When she speaks, her words come soft, softer even than Wanda’s were before: “Do you trust me?”
At first, Wanda doesn’t say anything.  Her gaze drops.  She bites her lower lip, head tilting ever so slightly to one side as she seems to examine Agatha, what she knows of her, what she’s said.  Then her fingers begin to slowly sweep along the curve of Agatha’s waist, thumb brushing up and down while she holds her in place.  “Why did you come to Westview, Agatha?  You must have wanted something.  Did you find it?”
Magic brought me here, Agatha wants to say.  The ripples of Wanda’s mistaken casting reached out to her where she’d mourned in New York – which isn’t so far, given that Westview is only in New Jersey, but Agatha believes those ripples would have found her wherever she was – and that’s the thing of it, isn’t it?  Magic brought her here because magic let those Wanda’s casting send off so many of her inner alarms that Agatha couldn’t not come because magic knew that Wanda needed—
That AGATHA needed—
Agatha catches it then, the threads of magic binding them hopelessly together, as though her eyes have been opened to something so subtle that she would never have been able to notice if it hadn’t been revealed to her by something so cheeky as magic itself.
And all she can do is laugh.
Wanda flinches again, her eyes widening.  “What?” she asks.  “What’s so funny?  I don’t—”
The hilarity of it all captures Agatha, and she quivers with it, leans forward and rests her head just above Wanda’s chest, laughing so hard that tears spring to her eyes.  “I’ve been such a fool,” she mutters between breaths as she finally calms.  “Such. a fool.”  She reaches her fingers into magic itself, thrills when it wraps itself around her, brushes against her, gentle as she’s always tried to be with it, when she’s been in her right mind.
Perhaps magic does speak, if she’s inclined to listen.
You love me.
You want—
Agatha stills herself.  She leans back to see Wanda’s confused expression and tries her best not to laugh.  “You wouldn’t get it, hon.”  She pats Wanda’s cheek.  “It’s a secret, meant only for me.”  Then she stretches up, brushes her nose against Wanda’s, and asks with a hum, “Would you still like me to catch you, dear?  Now that you’re falling?”
Wanda’s brows shoot up.  “Am I?” she asks, confused, even as her hands tighten their hold on Agatha’s waist, fingers digging into her skin.  “Am I still falling?”
Too subtle.
“Mmhm,” Agatha purrs.  She angles herself closer to Wanda.  “You’re falling for me.”  Her mouth presses against the spot where Wanda’s jaw and neck just meet.  Then she runs her tongue along the sensitive skin there, tugs it between her lips, and sucks gently.
Wanda gasps.  “Agatha.”  The word slips through her lips like air escaping boiling water.  “You…you can’t just—”
Agatha bites down.
A startled squeak.  Then Wanda tilts her head ever so gently to the side, a silent request for Agatha to continue, and when she does, she lets out the gentles of groans.  “This isn’t fair, you know,” she mutters.
“What was it you said last night?” Agatha purrs between nibbling kisses.  “All’s fair in love and—”  Her voice cuts off as Wanda lifts her onto the counter, and when she meets Wanda’s eyes, their pupils dark and hungry, she hums with pleasure.  “You want me, don’t you, hon?”
“As badly as you want me,” Wanda growls softly.  She spreads Agatha’s legs just enough to slot herself between them and lets out another little sound of approval as Agatha wraps her legs tight around her waist.  She pauses just long enough to search Agatha’s eyes.  “You’ll catch me,” she asks, hesitant, “when I fall?”
Agatha doesn’t answer with words.  She captures Wanda’s chin with both hands, lifts her head, and parts her lips against Wanda’s, hungrily drinking her in.  It’s only when Wanda melts against her, when she finally lets herself fall and the magic created between them overpowers all else, that Agatha opens her mind to her with a gentle, Of course, I will, love.
It’s what I was made to do.
~
No, Wanda Maximoff, much like magic itself, isn’t very subtle.
But Agatha knows magic.  Wanda?  She’s still trying to figure her out.
Hopefully, it won’t take her another three hundred years to do so.

So let me get this straight, because I’m tired of Disney’s misogyny. Agatha…
Spoilers below
Serial killed witches (all women are shown) for decades to gain power to get back at Death because she wanted to be a mommy so bad and Death took that from her? (This is during a period when child mortality rates were through the roof and women didn’t survive pregnancy, but mmkay.)
Totally negates the idea that Agatha and Death are actually lovers, it’s all manipulation so that goes out the window. It’s another “evil mommy” story like Wanda’s.
Agatha was also going to serial kill the coven in the show that all ended up dying anyway except for Kale. She’s killing women exclusively for centuries after luring them in with a con.
This is the same shit they did when they made Wanda “evil mommy” in Multiverse of Madness because she was more powerful than most of the characters.
Or how Natasha was “broken” because she was sterilized in the Red Room and couldn’t have kids in Age of Ultron. Or how Natasha died in the Infinity stuff so Clint could go back to his family because she was childless.
Retrograde stuff about how women’s lives/existence revolves around giving birth. And while it’s nice they introduced Wiccan, all the children involved are male, which is just sort of really interesting.
So they basically just made Agatha and Wanda the same, but Agatha is way worse, and had Agatha kiss Aubrey Plaza for kicks.
All the actors are great I’m not knocking a one but it’s important to look at the themes and messaging in back of Marvel and Disney stuff at all times.

Agatha Harkness (Wandavision) Masterlist
A Bit of Friendly Advice (ao3) - incrxibles wanda/agatha G, 2k
Summary: “Or maybe I could just be myself, more or less.” Agatha stared at Wanda, a seemingly dumbfounded look on her face, causing her to wonder what exactly she’d said wrong. And then, a familiar pale hand was on her cheek.
Set during WandaVision episode 2.
Agatha Meets Scratchy 9ao3) - aparticularbandit M, 1k
Summary: Agatha Harkness has never been one for pets.
Fortunately for her, Scratchy can't really be called a pet.
All Along (ao3) - frizz22 G, 821
Summary: It was the last place she wanted to go, it held no happy memories for her. Then again, few places did. And even fewer existed where those happy memories weren’t washed away by the bad.
But it was where she left her. It was where she could find the last person on this planet, perhaps in this universe, that could, and would, help her.
Exhaling slowly, Wanda strode into Westview.
All Your Curves (ao3) - nightside_of_siberia agatha/wanda N/R, 842
Summary: Friends-with-benefits aren't supposed to catch feelings for one another, are they?
a million mile fall from grace (thank god we missed the ground) (ao3) - Heather wanda/vision G, 12k
Summary: What if Wanda liked historical romance novels instead of sitcoms?
And keep on living (ao3) - judyannhale wanda/agatha T, 12k
Summary: “I’ll find you the whitest picket fence in all of New Jersey.”
Breaking the Fourth Wall (ao3) - QuothRaven T, 1k
Summary: Agatha didn’t hate kids.
No, really. She didn’t. In fact, she quite likes kids. Most of the time.
Then again, most kids aren’t the magical creations of a chaos witch.
Hiya, Neighbor (ao3) - Captain_Sparklefists G, 1k
Summary: Following the events of Wandavision, Agnes has settled into Westview. But something always feels wrong about the empty lot next door.
intentional hurts (ao3) - trickofthelights wanda/agatha, past wanda/vision E, 97k

Wanda, with agonizing slowness, inches toward awareness, absolution, and Agatha.
I Told You So (ao3) - Mr_Bilinski T, 2k
Summary: After destroying the Darkhold Castle in order to destroy the Darkhold in every universe, Wanda returns to Westview to have a chat with Agatha.
Kisses Through the Decades (ao3) - aparticularbandit M, 38k
Summary: The world is full of various shades of grey – charcoal, smoke, silver, ash, pewter, steel, iron, and so on. For all the black and white, there is relatively little of that. Agnes’s hair trends as dark a grey as the world allows, but even it isn’t a pure black. The closest to that is the ribbon tied tight around her waist, accenting the narrowness of it, the hourglass shape of her. Wanda’s hands have found that waist far many times to count at this point, if only to usher her out of the kitchen when she’s stayed – not past her welcome, because that sounds rude, but…well, past her welcome.
Problem being, of course, that the more Wanda guides her by the waist out of the kitchen and through the back door, the more her hands find a proper place there.
Lovely To Finally Meet You (ao3) - Robertdoc T, 10k
Summary: Though Agnes - Agatha Harkness - has revealed herself, she's not done messing with Wanda's mind yet. Not through mind control, but through more painful reminders of what Wanda allowed to happen in Westview, gaslighting her into believing she's exactly the kind of person who would let it happen, and offers to stay in Westview forever that Wanda can't convince herself she should turn down anymore.
Until a blast from a familiar, suddenly rebuilt object brings back a memory of what she really did right before the Hex formed, who she really tried to be even at the lowest point of her life - and who she's finally ready to introduce Agatha to now. But even that may not be enough.
Another attempt at a Wanda character study that doubles as a wish fulfillment/theory for future episodes, tries to explain the still unexplained trailer snippets left, and seeks to give Wanda a real chance to heal and remember she's not just another all powerful woman who went unstable from grief -
Out of reach (ao3) - Frehoir G, 1k
Summary: They both want something that seems impossible. Well, seems to be. Yet Wanda has managed to make a life she’s happy with, and Agatha swears she’s a moment away from grasping such great power.
If only things weren’t so complicated.
But in spite of Wanda’s fragile heart, Agatha can’t help the small gentleness that escapes her cold heart.
// Set during E08 “Previously On”. A small window between the end of Wanda’s memories and leaving Agatha’s basement.
The One Where Clint is Wanda's Weakness (ao3) - JinxQuickfoot T, 5k
Summary: Agatha dragged her hostage around in front of her, yanking the strings so he was forced up onto his knees. “Told you I had a very special surprise for you. Now—stand down, dear.”
Slowly, still not quite believing this was real, Wanda lowered her hands, trying to find her voice again. “Clint?” -------------------------------------- So that's where Clint was during WandaVision
the sun and her flowers (ao3) - wandaverse wanda/agatha T, 10k

Over the coming year, Agatha comes to slowly fall for the miracle that is Wanda Maximoff. And so, she expresses her truest desires through the only way she knows; the language of flowers.
OR
The story of how two lonely witches find healing and home in each other, told through 5 flowers Agatha gives Wanda and 1 she gives in return.
Welcome to Westview (ao3) - KaleidoscopeEyez loki/sylvie, wanda/vision T, 161k

Westview Holiday (ao3) - aparticularbandit wanda/agatha T, 3k
Summary: Wanda and Agatha exert a great deal of magic for a Westview celebration, and Wanda has an idea on how to cool down afterwards.
Who are you (ao3) - Whiplaaash123 T, 2k
Summary: Suddenly, Peter is having to face being trapped as somebody else (more than once), stuck in Westview and all this done by someone who seems way too much like his sister.
All the while hoping maybe his actual sister will show up here or someone, anyone, because sooner or later he thinks he'll go crazy.
AKA a WandaVision fix-it because I still believe that Ralph is Peter.

Warning(s): None
Tumblr media
You think it’s the 2010s, but you can’t be sure. Maybe you’re still stuck in the 90s. 
Time is an illusion inside the Hex. Some days pass quicker than others; if Wanda gets bored, she can speed up the clock, and usher all of her little ‘side characters’ to bed. It can take a week between decades or sometimes Wanda flips between them. One day you wake up to jeans and a sweater, the next an obnoxious pair of yellow leg-warmers. The show she’s made you part of captures only minutes of the months you live. 
You’d give anything for time to be linear again. Unfortunately, that seems to be a luxury, and you’re not very high on the totem pole. 
The saving grace is you’re not alone. Agatha bears the weight with you, staring right down the barrel of the gun Wanda’s unknowingly loaded just to get an understanding. You thank the cosmos everyday for how powerful she is. Were she a lesser witch, your hair would be falling out from the anxiety. 
What Wanda lacks in time, she makes up for in characterization. You’re a background character, but a sweet, organized one; your adherence to a schedule is impressive. So she allows you a hell of a lot of freedom and some sense of normalcy. You could almost grow to like her for it. 
First thing in the morning, you make a pot of coffee for you and your Hex-husband—you can barely recall his name anymore—and check the mailbox. Among the typical bills there is always a folded sheet of paper, typically blank, but sometimes bearing the elegant scrawl you know and love. 
Unfolding the paper today, you smile down at the ink. 
Eleven. 
It’s cryptic and succinct and it warms you from your head to your toes. Finally, a bright spot. Agatha’s been too busy being followed by cameras to see you. Everytime you watch her pass, just barely making eye contact, you nearly lose it at the distance between you. 
You go through your routine normally all day until night rolls around. Making sure your Hex-husband is suitably knocked out, you wait by the door. 
Tap Tap, Knock Knock. 
In your eagerness, you practically rip the door from the hinges. Agatha pushes inside. 
“Miss me?” She teases. 
“More than anything,” You say genuinely, pulling her into a kiss, “I’m going crazy in this place.” 
Fingers scratch at your scalp and comb through your hair. She looks so damn kissable in her purple sweater, hair pulled up into a messy updo. 
“It’s not that bad, dear.” 
Your temper flares at her dismissal, energy crackling at your fingertips. She absorbs it. 
“Agatha, sweetheart,” You drawl, voice dripping with venomous sweetness, “If I have to take another pilates class, I’m going to kill the instructor.” 
“Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” 
You push away from her, “I’m your wife, you’re supposed to love me. Instead, you’re letting me go mad here, because of some other witch. Should I be jealous?” 
“Against my better judgment, I do love you. We’re almost through here.” 
When you pushed away from her, you’d taken up pacing. It’s an awful habit that you didn’t develop until coming here. You’ve likely worn out the tread on your shoes from all the hours you spend walking back and forth, like a tiger trying to escape its cage. 
You pause. 
Turning and staring hard at your wife, you can see the moment she realizes her mistake. It’s only a twitch of her eye, but you’ve been with her for almost seventy years. She’s hiding something. Agatha has only told you she loved you three times; when she asked you to stay with her, when you married her, and that one time in Brazil that you almost died. 
“You’re stalling.” You accuse. 
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” 
“What is it that you’re waiting for, Agatha? Maybe if you told me I’d be a little less inclined to blow the place up. If I know what I’m working for, I’ll play along.” 
Agatha takes your face in her hands, voice calm, “We’re almost done.” 
You hate her. 
You love her. 
Gods, she pisses you off. But she’s all you want. 
“Speed up the timeline, Agatha.” You say, “Or I will.” 
You’ve never been one to bluff. Back in the day, that’s what drew her to you; you always made good on your threats. It intrigued and worried her. So much power in the hands of a seemingly-unstable wielder almost got you killed, drained of all power in New Hampshire of all places. Instead, you ended up with a wife; you’re still not sure what changed her mind. 
Now, though, it’s a point of contention. Agatha is secretive and you’ve never pushed, but the Hex is driving you mad. You weren’t prepared for this. So either she moves up the timeline and ends this twisted daydream or you will, and she’ll be in the doghouse for the next decade. 
She sighs. 
“Fine.” 
You kiss her and she kisses back, reluctantly. Her body is taut with frustration. 
It isn’t your fault she’s hiding the truth from you. You’ve been together too long for it to bother you at this point, but things would be more straightforward if she didn’t insist on keeping everything locked in her mind. Sometimes you wonder if she does it to drive you up the wall. 
You forgive her many things; that’s what a wife does. Agatha, though… she has a different definition of what being a wife entails. Grudges are held frequently and for longer than necessary. But you love her and forgive her for it anyway. 
But loving and forgiving doesn’t mean you enjoy the separation. You hate the absence of her. Since your marriage—a quaint, quick thing in a courthouse in Massachusetts, made possible by an old contact of her’s—you’ve spent little time apart simply because you dislike the space. 
You feel the distance now and hate it. 
“I’m sorry, my love,” You say, though you’re not, really, you just want things to be okay again, “What do you need from me?”
“More time.” She says immediately, tone clipped. 
Trust your wife to ask for the one thing you can’t stand giving. 
“I don’t know how much longer I can handle this. I’ll go mad.” 
Agatha smirks, “You’re not already?” 
The fondness has returned to her eyes. You hate her for wanting more time—for needing it—but you love her, so you forgive her.
“How much time?” You ask softly. You can bear the weight of madness a little longer. 
“A few weeks.” 
You wince, but nod. Glee floods her eyes and you wonder how you could deny her in the first place. You hate how she holds your heart. You love her for making you feel. 
Agatha kisses you and there’s no reluctance. She’s all teeth, tongue, and desire. She’s darkness and anger and corruption. 
She’s yours—for better or worse.

afterglow
pairing: agatha harkness x reader
summary: ever since wanda had let her grief take over, everything had changed in westview and its people–yours and agatha's lives included.
warnings: a teeny tiny sexy time, angst, hurt/comfort, fluff, ambiguous ending xd
Tumblr media
You don’t know when it started–when Agatha barely comes home (granted it’s a fake one, but home, nonetheless.) Wherever you are, you consider home as long as you are with her, but right now, home feels like a faraway place, like it found a better person to give its shelter to.
Ever since Wanda had let her grief take over, everything had changed in Westview and its people–yours and Agatha's lives included.
Wanda, Wanda, Wanda–it’s all you can hear coming out of her mouth. You knew the older witch has an unquenchable thirst for power, and maybe you should’ve known that one day she’d prioritize terrorizing a grief-laden woman with immense power over her powerless, mortal girlfriend. That said, you would never want to be the reason she stops doing what she has been doing for decades, and this has been your setup whenever she has a mission. You would always wait for her at home, with Agatha always saying she didn't want you to get caught between the witchcraft and being the reason you get hurt. She'd always assure you that she'll be back safe and sound in no time, and she always delivered on her promises.
That's why this particular trip gave a different feel to it the minute you step foot in this fake world. 
Gone were the days of waking up with Agatha cocooning you in her warmth. There was only cold and empty space beside you, even her scent missing from the barely used pillows. When she comes home at night, you don't ask her where she has been, or who she has been with—not that you feel the need to. There was only one reason you were in this dreary town.
When she’s not out messing with Wanda, she’s holed up in the basement, and you’re stuck in your room, thankful for the companion of the little rabbit. If you get lucky, you get a kiss or two as she passes by you around the house. You're not sure how long it has been since you arrived here, and for what it's worth, you've never felt so close yet so far with the love of your life. You feel a bit further away from her as days pass by, as the decades change. It hurts but you don't want to give up, even though the feeling of you're just wasting each other's time feels a little stronger every day. 
Everything has changed, and you were scared you might be losing Agatha. 
//
Agatha is out shopping with Wanda first thing in the morning, buying baby clothes with the redhead while she couldn't even sit through breakfast with you.
The fastest pregnancy in history should amaze you in the least, but you couldn't find it in you to feel something…anything. The more Agatha leaves your side, the more she takes every piece of you with her, leaving you hollow and empty.
That night, she slides into the covers next to you, slipping an arm around your waist. She presses a kiss to your shoulder and pulls you close. “Why are you still awake, darling?”
“Can’t sleep.”
“Tell me about your day.”
You rolled your eyes, doubting if she genuinely wants to hear about it or if it was just to make small talk for old-time's sake. “There’s nothing to tell about it, it’s just the same old. Tell me about yours.”
As soon as she opened her mouth you regretted reciprocating the question. You should have known better than to hurt yourself hearing her talk about Wanda as if she'd rather be with her than in your presence.
“Oh, I can’t wait to see her again…” Agatha mumbled as she nuzzled your neck. That remark was the last nail in the coffin, the overwhelming jealousy and hurt provoking you and prompting you to turn and move on top of her. Her eyes went wide at the sudden movement, surprised. Agatha has never seen you with that fire in your eyes.
She was about to speak but you cut her off with a kiss. “Shh. Don't speak.” You felt her smirk against your lips. “Unless it's to scream my name.” I don't want to hear her name from your mouth.
Leaning down, you kissed Agatha feverishly, like a predator savoring its prey—teeth almost clashing, tongues shoved in each other's throat, bottom lips bruised as one suckled and nipped on the other like a hungry beast.
//
The way you took charge blew Agatha's mind, not stopping until you were sure she was limp and tired. She almost passed out right after, her eyes heavy with sleep. You didn't think you had it in you until tonight, but the intrusive thought that this might be your last night with her has won.
Agatha looks so peaceful in her sleep, her lashes fluttering ever so slightly. She had a small smile on her features, and her blissed-out look was one you could never forget. This is the first time that you even had time to properly look at her ever since her obsession with Wanda grew.
You didn't realize you were crying until you tasted salt on your lips. 
At that same moment, you slipped out of bed, taking one last look at her before completely disappearing from her life.
//
Making your way through Ellis street was unexpectedly easier than you thought it would be. The night, though, made it harder to see the barrier, not that it was visible to the naked eye. You continued to walk forward, finding for the telltale signs of something unusual, something magical. Soon enough, you found what you were looking for. The barrier crackled and buzzed in front of you, its appearance reminiscent of television static. 
You envied Wanda, wishing you also had the same abilities so Agatha won't have to chase another person to claim their power. She doesn't even have to ask, you know you'd willingly give her yours if you had them. 
You wished you had your own Westview and just live happily and in peace with Agatha.
Based on what you heard from her rambles, you knew that Wanda was able to blast Geraldine out of the barrier. You don't know if you would be able to get past it, but you have to try. 
Hovering your hand over the division, you tentatively let your fingertips push through. It felt like there was nothing sort of a barrier, as if the moment you laid your hands on it, it disappeared.
Was it letting you through?
With this newfound realization, you take a deep breath, getting ready to walk through it.
You watch as the barrier slowly sucks your hand, making a shiver run through your body. Halfway through your arm, a force pulls you away from the barrier—their gentle touch contrasting their strong grip on your waist.
She didn't let you fall to the ground, making her body catch you as you stumbled backward. Looking down at the black-stained hands on your stomach, you sighed in relief knowing it wasn't Wanda.
Now you feel like a complete fool—attempting to run away from Agatha only to feel comforted that she had prevented you from doing so.
The two of you stayed silent in the middle of the empty land, Agatha still holding you close to her. You could feel her heart rapidly beating—or maybe that was yours. You don't know anymore.
“Why are you up, Agatha? You should be sleeping.”
“I can't. Not without you.”
Scoffing, you wiggled out of her embrace to face her. “That's funny.” There was clear spite in your voice, but the tears that were starting to form in the corner of your eyes and the lump forming in your throat betrayed you.
Agatha reaches for your hand, holds it to her face, and presses a kiss on your palm. “I love you.”
“You sure have a funny way of showing that. I barely see you, you speak to me as if I'm just a wall to bounce your ideas off to. Everything's changed, and we're as close as strangers now, Agatha. I truly wish that this is all a nightmare, but I'm wide awake the whole time. I don't want to hold you back so I'm leaving—”
“Hold me back? You can never do that to me, darling. I can only find solace with you by my side. I asked you to come with me here because unlike all the other trips I've had, I'm unfamiliar with this– Wanda's source of power. You keep me grounded. When you're with me I feel…that everything's going to be fine.”
The witch comes home at night when you're already asleep. She makes her way under the covers to hold you close. She doesn't sleep, she just watches you as you rest–as creepy as it may sound. Agatha finds peace in listening to the steady beat of your heart. 
But she's so close to breaking in the redhead, so she lets go of her hold on you before you could wake up. She thought it would be easier when you don't see her leave. She thought it would be easier to leave when you don't stare with your lovely eyes.
Clearly, she thought wrong.
Agatha didn't mean to hurt you, let alone make you feel that she doesn't love you anymore. She wants Wanda's immense power, yes, but it doesn't mean she wants her.
She should've known that look you gave her earlier before masking it away. Her chest hurts as she thinks about the way you silently suffered, thinking about how you thought she didn't love you anymore—which the very idea is appalling to her. Agatha can never not love you.
“I didn't mean to hurt you, and I'm sorry. Don't leave me, darling, please…please don't walk away.”
Tears began to fall from her eyes, and the sight alone breaks your heart even more. Suddenly, the idea of leaving her seemed outrageous. You wiped her tears with your thumb, your own falling freely on your face. 
“I don't want to lose this with you. I don't want to lose you, Y/N.”
“I love you too.”
Her bright blue eyes lit up as they flickered to yours. “You're all I want, baby,” she says, cupping your cheeks. She steps closer, bringing your lips to hers. 
“And more power?” you breathed, lips still ghosting against hers. Agatha looked confused but chuckled at the sight of your playful smirk. “All I want is you, and more power.”
“Then let's go take power from the undeserving.”
Hand in hand, you walked back towards your house, the daybreak illuminating your path. You felt content, free of the heavy feeling you've been carrying, but there's a new gnawing thought that creeps up behind your head that you won’t get to bask in this afterglow for long.

Her Magic
Agatha Harkness x Reader
A/N: idk how this turned out tbh it wasn't initially like this i just want an angst
Tumblr media
Being Agatha's wife for a decade meant that fights are bound to happen because of her desire to learn and control more magic. They say it is a measure of a relationship between couples, as couples who don't fight are most likely to cut their ties earlier than most people. Let's say that it is, because you lasted a decade with her, and she's thankful for that.
When Agatha started mentoring Wanda about her powers and teaching her about her identity as the Scarlet Witch, she was slowly losing her time with you. At first, you were fine with it because you know it's for her plan, though you pity Wanda. She's a good friend to you, and also to Agatha—but she's never going to admit it. You always sleep and wake up without her by your side, but you never confront her for it. You were too tired to talk to her about it. You know she's going to reason out that it is necessary to learn about Wanda's power if the witch ever decides to exact revenge on her so you need to understand better.
One day, you just had enough. You were supposed to spend the whole day together as she promised. She said she feels that she's been neglecting you so when she asked you about it, it felt as if all the time your mind was telling you that you're all alone and Agatha doesn't want you anymore was washed away.
You excitedly agreed. She promised you a date after a long time, so you were incredibly prepared for it. The next day, she bailed on you. When she got home after her training with Wanda, she went straight to bed and did not even bother to greet you. So you just burst out, and she also did.
You were both levitating off the ground, throwing each other insults and remarks. It wasn't the best way to deal with your problem, but it has to stop.
“Wanting to feel wanted is the loneliest feeling ever. You know that too well, Aggs. You understand it enough that's why you shouldn't let other people-”
"That's it. I'm tired!" Agatha raised her voice and slowly landed her feet on the ground in frustration. "I am so tired of this useless banter we've been having. What do you want to hear from me? That you're nothing but an obligation for me? That you're ruining what I want? Is that it?"
Tears are threatening to fall from your eyes, but you need to suck it up. The last thing you want Agatha to see is you crying, not because of the pity that you will get, but because of her. It would break her to see you hurt, especially if she's the reason for it, but maybe you should have let those tears escape, so she would suffer the same way you do.
You stopped yourself from levitating to meet Agatha's level. She saw how your eyes drooped with what she said, and it hurt her.
"That came out from your mouth, Harkness. Your subconscious part has spoken for you."
"Honey, I didn't mean it that wa-,"
"All I wanted was for you to spare time for me. I'm not forcing you to abandon your goal to have Wanda's magic." You say, trying hard to sound calm despite the overwhelming emotions you feel. "But your magic," you pointed at her, "your desire for that thing, will always be the reason why you would lose everything. Your own magic, skills, and me."
Agatha let your head rest on her arms while you tugged her closer to embrace her tightly. She returned the hug and showered your face with small, gentle kisses. You're both resting on your shared bed after the fight.
Sleeping next to each other used to be warm, both literally and emotionally. You cannot sleep without her locking you into her arms, feeling her warmth, and vice versa. She particularly loves it when you bury your head onto her bosom, memorizing the rhythm of her respiration through the movements of her chest, and cherishing the sound of her heartbeat, making you feel safe and secure with her.
Agatha remembers the day when she asked you to be her wife. The two of you were laying down on the bed, holding hands, while you're staring at the ceiling. She remembers how she scanned your face, appreciating your beauty, from your eyes, down to the chin. She remembers the large upward curve formed in your lips that reached your eyes when you heard the question, accompanied by the giggles you let out because of extreme joy before saying the magical "yes".
She loves teasing you with her voice. During the first week of your marriage, she discovered that you like it when she whispers to your ear, saying literally anything. It will always lead to you being pinned on the bed, both of you indulged and taking time to explore new things. To your defense, her voice sounds soothing and sensual. She could talk to you like that all day, all year round and you wouldn't complain—you would actually oblige to anything she wishes right away.
She stopped going on the trips she usually does to discover herbs and spells for almost two months. She knew how much you were craving for her presence and how much you missed going out with her. She decided to make the most out of it by going on dates with you, and sometimes both of you just stay in bed doing nothing at all.
The contentment was not there for that long. The day Agatha told you about living in Westview came. She remembers the way you subtly brought your eyebrows together when you first heard it. She hates seeing you wrinkle your forehead. She hates the way you were hesitating to speak out your disagreement when you don't hesitate to start a debate with her if it's about magic. She knows asking you about joining her is a little bit demanding, but you still said yes.
The two of you are not under Wanda's mind control, but you need to act according to what she wants for her not to raise suspicions. She always expresses her irritation to Agnes, but you know she likes acting as the nosy neighbor. She likes it so much that she thinks it is more thrilling than those trips she did before.
She doesn't miss the way every time you look at her when she arrives home after the weary training with the little witch. She knows you want to say something to her, yet you don't voice it out. It made her think about reading your thoughts, but she respects you so much not to peek inside without your permission. She would be bothered by it every little while, but forget about it when you cup her cheeks and just gaze at her lovingly. The unspoken feelings and words were all conveyed through the pairs of eyes, and it makes everything better again.
Now, it feels different. You were there, still snuggling with her, but she can sense your doubts, the overflowing negative emotions you have always brought to your sleep because you tend to keep your concerns to yourself. You also felt cold.
Agatha stares at your sleeping form. She regrets everything. She's scared to ask if you still love her. She's scared to hear your response. She already realized that you were slowly drifting away from your relationship because of her. She knew she messed up everything, and you were right about her. She's the reason why she lost everything around her. She knows how much magic matters to her, but you are her top choice over anything, and she failed to make you feel that for the past months.
When she wakes up, she hopes everything will be fine. You would be there, acting as her loving wife, having your little moments, telling her to have a fun training session with Wanda. Everything should be fine by tomorrow. Just like how it used to be.

Firstly congrats to 400❤❤
Secondly, could I request an Agatha x Reader where they are enemies and have been fighting each other for decades but they have to team up against a big bad and they realise the other isn't that bad and kiss in the end. Basically the typical enemies to lovers :)
Who’s Guarding Hades? - Agatha Harkness x Reader
"Agatha Harkness. I should’ve known.”
Agatha approached you, her jeans and cardigan fading into the purple gown you knew so well.
“Y/N L/N. Good to see you. But if you’re here...” her grin curled into a scowl. “Who’s guarding Hades?”
You chuckled.
“Oh, Agatha... I thought you’d still be crushed under a house in Munchkinland.”
“Enough of the pleasantries. It’ll be me who takes Wanda Maximoff’s powers for my own and becomes the Scarlet Witch... you can run along now.”
“Agatha, Agatha. I’m here to protect Wanda. I don’t want her powers...”
Your hands crackled with green magic.
“Why would I ever want hers, when mine are so, well... spectacular?”
She huffed.
“You’ve been like this for years, you know. So... insufferable. 
Insufferably good, as always.”
“You make good sound like a bad word, Harkness.”
“You make bad sound even better.”
Agatha’s eyes glowed. Your own hands sparkled.
The barrier crackled.
“What was that?” you shouted, jumping back.
She stood in front, as if to protect you.
“Hayward,” she stammered. “Hayward, and... and S.H.I.E.L.D.”
“Well, damn it, Harkness, what are we gonna do?”
“I...I don’t know.”
“If they get through here, you know they’ll kill Wanda, right? And you, and me.”
“I know. I’m trying to think of something-”
An armored S.W.O.R.D. tank broke through the barrier.
“Think faster!”
“Okay, okay,” she said, flinging herself in front of you.
“Agatha, don’t, you’re gonna get-”
With her powers, she lifted the tank, throwing it into the barrier.
“...Crushed.”
Agatha turned back to you, breathing heavily.
“Agatha, that was amazing,” you admitted. “I had no idea you could do that.”
“Oh, darling,” she whispered, leaning down and kissing you gently, “...I’m just full of surprises.”
...
Credit to Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Agatha and Reader’s insults came from them. You can read those and many more here.

Spell Practice: Agnes/Agatha Harkness x Reader
Tumblr media
Request: Hihi!!! I love your agnes fics imagines!! Could u do one where female! reader and agatha harkness are just iconic witch girlfriends? That know each other so well and each other's secrets? And play with everyone else's mind? Basically villain wives sbskwnjnw and reader knew all along who she was because they've been like together for decades? Because agatha (in the comics) is centuries old lmao and Wanda is just like really lost but Reader always sticks with agatha and so does her? If that's okay!
Summary: You and Agatha cause some chaos in Westview with your magic.
Words:  600+
Warnings: a swear I think
Author’s Notes: While I was writing this I got the idea for a possible prequel to it explaining how you and Agatha first met, so that’ll probably be out sometime soon!
Taglist: @nyx-aira​ @midnight-lestrange​ @thestrangeundoing​

You exhale heavily, throwing the spell book on the floor, “I can’t get it Aggie. I’ll never be able to do all this as good as you,”
“Careful!! These books are sacred!” she picks it up, dusting it off and putting it back on the shelf. “You’re doing fine, darling, be patient. Remember, I have several centuries more practice than you,”
“I guess so,” you shrug, trying to release some of the frusteration. “At least I’m getting better at mind tricks,”
“See? You’re doing even better than you think,” she kisses your cheek. “Mind manipulation magic is incredibly difficult to master, so even the smallest things are impressive,”
You nod and relax in her arms. She’s right, you’ve definitely been improving. You’ve been practicing for decades since you met, of course, but that’s still nothing compared to how long she has. She’s taught you everything you know, and you’ve accomplished so much together.
“Say, how about we go out and get a little more practice out in town, huh?”
“Are you sure? Haven’t we made people suspicious enough?” you ask.
“Wanda still has no idea I’m behind anything, it’ll be fine, love,” she takes your hand and leads you out of the basement.
Once you arrive in town, it’s not hard to find your first victim. You start with simple things, like making random people say stupid things and creating drama wherever you can. Occasionally you wake one of them up just to watch them freak out for a few seconds and then put them back under, only to make their alternate lives even worse.
Eventually the little things escalate into some full on fights between people, some screaming up and down the streets and some of the buildings and lights glitching. Agatha laughs along with you as chaos ensues.
“Agnes! Y/N! What’s going on?!” you hear Wanda running up behind you, eyes wide.
“Not sure honey, someone hit someone and everyone just went nuts,” Agnes gestures to a couple people in the middle.
“This isn’t supposed to- oh shit, um,” she runs her hands through her hair. “I’ll take care of it, you guys go home,”
“Whatever you say, neighbor!” Agnes winks, taking your hand again and walking off.
“Do you think she can fix all that?”
“This? Oh yeah. We’re gonna make her reality crumble much more than that,” she cackles, leaving a puff of purple smoke behind her.
 -
 When you get back home, you spend some time rereading the spell book on the couch by the fire while Agatha messes with some things downstairs. She doesn’t want you to accidentally get hurt by any of the complex dangerous magic she’s doing, so you usually wait upstairs until she’s done for the day.
You find yourself staring at the flames, reminiscing all your time together. It’s been years, yet sometimes it feels like no time at all. You remember when she saved your life, how you fell in love so quickly, and how she saw your potential for magic. You have a bond that’s unbreakable, and you doubt anything will ever separate you. Besides, Agatha’s told you the secret to immortality, so your love will stand the test of time.
“Hey darling,” Agatha slides next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders.
You smile, giving her a kiss and leaning into her, “Hey,”
“I gotta say, watching you wreak havoc on the place was pretty hot,”
“Oh, shush,” even after so long, your face still gets warm.
She kisses your forehead and pulls you in tight, “We’re so close, hun. Everything we’ve done here is gonna be worth it,”
You grin, looking into her eyes, “I know.”

A Day for Just Us
Tumblr media
Request by: @nyx-aira : When I saw you wrote for Agatha I had to request something so could you write an Agatha x reader where they just take a day for themselves, go on a walk, have a movie night. Basically just you and Agatha having a good time. Cuddles, kisses and fluff please.
Yes, I write for Agatha now. Let me simp in peace, internet.
You want Agatha, then Agatha you shall have!!💜
Also, since you and Agatha are in Westview, you both have your pseudonyms, hers being Agnes, and yours indicated by the (f/n) tag, standing for "fake name." (y/n), of course, stands for your real name.
Warnings: Fluff
ฯฯฯ
Life in Westview, New Jersey was largely calm. The people went about their days, enjoyed each other's company, and were just generally happy... Even after Wanda enveloped the whole town into her Hex. The people were happy, but were they really happy?
Well, you knew you were happy, at least. Being Wanda and Vision's neighbor to the right (your right, not theirs) made things... Interesting, to say the least. But it made things fun also. The boys were just the icing on the cake. Always asking their mom to go over to yours and Agatha's house. During a day when Wanda was feeling the 90s vibe, all four of you played tag in the yard for hours.
You and Agatha were immune to Wanda's chaos magic, but it was just so much fun to play along.
One particular day, Wanda and Vision wanted to take the boys out for some family activities. You noticed them leaving on bicycles when you were out in the front yard tending to Agatha's beloved azaleas. You gave them a pleasant wave before taking off your gardening gloves. Agatha came out of the house with a tray holding a pitcher of lemonade and two glasses.
"Azaleas look great, buttercup." She said happily as she passed you a glass.
"I have to say, while it's weird waking up in different decades based on Wanda's mood, it's nice that we never have to mow the lawn." You laughed, gesturing to the fresh cut grass with your lemonade.
"Yeah, exactly. Hey, since Wanda's gonna be out for the day, what say you to a nice day on the town? A whole day just for us? We're probably not gonna be on her broadcast for a bit." Agatha suggested with a smirk. She poked her finger into her drink so the mint leaves she had put in got trapped underneath the ice in the glass.
"Aw, sweetheart, that sound great. I'll just get cleaned up while you get the bikes from the garage." You said.
"Alright, just don't take too long." Agatha grinned as she booped your nose. She went for the garage while you went back inside your house. You tossed your gloves onto the table and grabbed a pair of sunglasses.
Emerging back outside into the bright sunlight, Agatha waved you over to the garage with both of your bikes in her hands, hers a light lavender color with a basket and yours a (f/c) one that had a matching basket. You both smiled at each other before kicking up your kickstands and pedaling down the street.
The town was a bustle of life as people enjoyed the day's pleasures. Children ran after the ice cream truck and played on the playground while the adults watched or had lovely outdoor picnics.
"What's on the marquee today?" You asked as you and Agatha passed by the movie theater.
"Looks like Jaws and Star Wars. Wanda's good, I'll give her credit for that, but she still meshes together her dates within the decades like a fruit salad in a whirlwind." Agatha said back as you rode by. You laughed as you both trailed down the path into the park. Opting to leave your bikes on the bike rack, you decided to take a lovely stroll down the paths talking about whatever came to mind.
"Howdy, neighbors!" A voice that matched Vision's called over. Looking in the direction of the voice, you saw Wanda with Vision and the boys having a picnic like several other families.
"Fancy meeting you here." Agatha said cheerily, the two of you walking over arm in arm.
"Enjoying a day on the town?" Wanda asked, picking up a strawberry from the bowl on her blanket.
"The weather's just too perfect to be inside all day. Seems like you all are having fun, too." You replied.
"Just a wonderful time. Your azaleas are looking beautiful as well, (f/n)."
"Well, they're really Agnes' azaleas, but I do have a green thumb for these things. Once they're fully grown, we'll put some in a vase for you."
"That's so sweet of you." Wanda beamed.
"Care to join us? There's plenty of food." Vision offered, holding up the paper plate holding the sandwich he hadn't taken any bites of to you both.
"Thanks, but we wouldn't want to spoil your family fun. Maybe next time, though." Agatha shrugged.
"Hm, well, alright." Wanda said.
"Aww, please, Agnes?" Billy asked, finally speaking up.
"Another time, kiddos. Tell ya what, we'll pull out the chalk in our garage and you can come over to draw on the sidewalk tomorrow. Maybe play a few rounds of hopscotch." Agatha said, putting her free arm on her hip and bending down slightly with a cheeky smile.
"Can we, Mom, can we?" Tommy asked excitedly.
"Yeah, can we?" Billy echoed.
"Oh, alright." Wanda laughed. The boys cheered excitedly.
"I've gotta warn you kids, I'm a champion hopscotch player, so bring your A-Game." Agatha bragged. Wanda chuckled as the boys nodded.
"Well, we'll see you then!" You said, waving.
"Bye!" The whole family chorused.
Continuing on your stroll, eventually you and Agatha made it back to your bikes. Taking another loop around the town, you did all the cliche things people did like share a milkshake at the diner (flicking whipped cream on each others' noses, of course) and buying some grains at the supermarket to feed the ducks at the local pond. You also bought some seed packets to hopefully add some roses and (favorite flowers) to your garden.
The day seemed to blow by and soon orange hues filled the sky as the sun started to set. Riding back to your house, you stored your bikes back in the garage and went back inside just as the stars started to poke out. You thought about stargazing on your roof with Agatha, but the shingles on your roof in the 70s setting made your back hurt. Instead, you both washed up and slid into your pyjamas. Extending the pullout sofa, you and Agatha curled up under a few blankets facing the television. You chose to open your selection of VCR tapes (sometimes they were DVDs, sometimes they didn't exist at all) and put "The Wizard of Oz" in.
Agatha said she disliked the movie for its depiction of witches, but you knew she secretly loved it.
"Hey, Agatha?" You asked midway through the movie.
"Yes, dearheart?" She asked in response.
"I wish every day could be like this."
"Me, too, angel. But, who knows, we could wake up tomorrow and it'll be 1955." Agatha laughed before kissing your cheek.
"Yes, but I mean in general. Wanda changes Westview all the time and this town has never been happier. I wish it could be like this forever." You clarified.
"Well, with any luck, it can be. But even if not, we've got each other, and every place is home when we have each other."
"Aww, you always know what to say." You curled closer to Agatha as she kissed the top of your head tenderly.
"You're too precious, dear." She replied.
ฯฯฯ
Hope you enjoyed this, nyx-aira!
As always, requests are open, so send them in!

The Hel in You
Warning: kissing Ig
Match: Agatha Harkness x Supernatural!reader
Genre: fluff and mild angst
A/N: Well then. I doubt this was at all what you were thinking anon but I got carried away. Also yes I realise it’s a day late but I didn’t start till 9 o’clock last night so it’s fine.
Tumblr media
When S.W.O.R.D first came to your door you were adamant that you weren’t joining and that they leave you alone. They of course didn’t listen. One of their agents broke into your house one night and made you listen to her. They told you Wandas story and explained that you were the only person who was able to fight her mind control. After hearing such a heartbreaking story similar to your own you were in.
~
The first obstacle to endure when entering the Hex was your looks. You came from Hel itself and so your canines and ears are pointed. This wouldn’t fit in with Wandas sitcoms world and would immediately mark you to be throw out just like Captain Rambeau. You were given tight prosthetics to round of your ears and even out your teeth. You thought you looked stupid but it was all for the mission. The next obstacle was the ever changing time line. You would have to fit in with time periods. You had 24 hours to learn everything you could about the decades 80s and forward. Acting wasn’t something that came naturally to you and so faking the slang and changing your mind to be period appropriate was a challenge. A challenge you readily accepted and 24 hours later you stood staring into the red pulsating static border. It felt like when you got to close to a TV the hairs on your face pulled towards the border. “ you sure about this? You can still back out.” Agent Brand asked you. You laughed at her “ says the woman who recruited me for this. I owe it to myself to do this. Get that poor girl and everyone she’s trapped out safely. I’m the only damned creature on this Earth who can do it.” Your words were slurred slightly form the prosthetic teeth. Agent Brand nodded pointing two fingers they man next to you secured your helmet. Going through the border around Westview was one of the most, if not the worst, painful experiences you had ever endured. Which was saying a lot. You had been tortured and your arm had been severed then by the use of medical genius reattached to your body. It still hung limply at your side having only a quarter of the function of a normal arm. Going through the border felt as if every cell, every mitochondria, were ripped apart piece by piece and then placed back together in the wrong order. Every inch of your skin felt wrong when you finally surfaced. Only the memory of pain lingered but it felt as if your flesh had ants crawling under it and if your stomach was in knots. But you knew that you were the only person who could do this.
~
the town square was as you expected. Despite some obvious advertising and shop signs the town looked exactly as it did in the photographs at headquarters. You pulled out a map with the directions to Wanda’s house. It, along with everything else on you, had changed to fit the 80s time period. It took you about 10 minutes to finally find her house. You were walking along the pavement in front of the houses in Wanda’s neighbourhood messing with the straps on your suspenders. A voice from behind you filled your ears. It was full of life and joy and made you want to smile “ hiya there! You new to town? I haven’t ever see you around before.” You turned slowly afraid to do anything that would set off suspicion. S.W.O.R.D was still unsure exactly how Wandas Mind control worked. Wether she could see everything her victims could or not. “ yeah I’m new. My sister came through Westview a couple years back and said it was just a charming town. I was looking to stay for a couple weeks. Only issue is I haven’t a place to stay.” You feigned frustration making sure all your facial expressions where light hearted. The women in front of you had voluminous dark brown hair and a wide smile on her face. Not to mention she was incredibly pretty. You shamed yourself for thinking such things when you were in a missions “ oh well that’s just unfortunate. Hey I know we just met but my husband is out for the week. Maybe you could crash in our extra room.” She reached for hand in a sympathetic manner. You were nervous and wary of such an act of kindness from a total stranger but deciding that since she lived so close to Wanda they might be friends. It would be a good way to get into her life. “ oh I couldn’t intrude. I’m sure you guys have a motel or something.” The lady blew air through her lip and flicked her hand downwards. “Nonsense. A cutie like you I wouldn’t want you wandering around by yourself.” She tucked a piece of hair behind your ear and you felt shock at the sudden intimacy between this total stranger. Her hand grazed your ear slightly and you felt instant fear that she might realise the tip of your ear isn’t actual skin. Her face fell for half a second. You almost missed it. Then she smiled once again pulling you towards her house. “ I’m Agnes by the way.”
~
It turned out Agnes was actually Wanda’s direct neighbour. To the right. The two of you and her family spent lots of time together. You got to know Wanda and often times you would get back to your room in Agnes’ house and sob. Her story was horrible and you could see the sadness behind her eyes. You had just gone out for a walk with Agnes, Wanda, Tommy, and Billy. You watched on as Wanda looked lovingly at her twins. It broke you. Something was horribly wrong, and the nerves from being found out where sickening. You sat on your bed your stomach in knots. The time had changed to 90s over night and you pulled out your papers looking at the 90s slang you had on hand. Now that night had fallen you laid on your bed. The tears threatened your eyes. You pulled your mouth guard out and let your ears breath stripping away the plastic. Maybe working on getting ready for bed would help distract you. You looked at yourself in the mirror. You looked perfect. TV show perfect. Not a hair out of place. One of the pluses of being on a real life sitcom. So far you hadn’t found out much about Wanda’s control over Westview. You had picked up on that she was aware of what she was doing. Everyone at S.W.O.R.D called her a monster but you understood her. Every free moment you had was spent wandering the town looking for mistakes and clues or with Agnes. You tried not to let her work her way into your life. She was just another one of Wandas puppets but Monica Rambeau swore their personalities were similar to their repressed ones. You hoped to god so because day by day you were falling more and more in love with your friendly host. You shook out of your daydream state not wanting to continue your thoughts about your funny, beautiful, sexy friend. No Y/N stop! You stared yourself in the eye. Your unnaturally black pupils stared back at you. You opened your mouth and swirled your tongue over the pointed canines. After so many days being covered with a guard it felt foreign in your mouth.  You hear a quiet knock at your bed room door and jumped slightly. “ hiya love. I made some banana pudding do you want some?” You gagged at the thought of something so sweet. But the idea of watching Agnes eat the creamy dessert off a spoon had your chest fluttering. You pulled your hair tight over your ears and walked towards the door. “
None for me but I’d love to chat with you anyway. I’m not very tired.” Agnes smiled almost flirtatiously. “ well I’m glad.” She turned the other direction and you let your eyes wander. She had on matching purple pyjamas. The top was button down and long sleeve while the bottoms reached her mid thigh. It was kind of hot. You suddenly felt very under dressed I your tank top and loose pyjama booty shorts. You followed her shutting the door behind you. You were every thankful for Agnes letting you stay in her house. You had to admit the situation was sort of odd but you didn’t mind because you loved your talks with Agnes. The two of you grew very close. You never wandered staying to the living room, kitchen and your room. “ man I love banana pudding. Recipe my mom used to make. Other people use store bought pudding but I prefer to make my own.” You nodded along. You had never gotten used to earthen food, preferring to stick to stuff that was close to the food from Hel. This limited your diet to mostly vegetables and pomegranates. Anything too sugary made you sick to even think about eating. You made the mistake once and barfed your guts out for a week. Agatha plopped down in the living room, sitting on her huge couch with a bowl of banana coloured pudding. “ penny for your thoughts?” She asked dipping her spoon into the bowl. You watched her intently as she brought the spoon to her lips and licked the pudding and whipped cream off. “ nothing much. Just settling in here. It would be nice to move here permanently I think. It’s- well it’s better than anywhere else.” Agnes made a very thoughtful face and set her spoon down. “Well your always welcome here sweetie.” You nodded pondering how amazing it would be to live here forever with her. “ what about your husband. Ronald was his name?” Her features fell. “ Ralph...” you nodded. This was the oddest conversation you had had with her. Or anyone in Westview for that matter. Everyone seemed so sure of what was happening, the story perfectly written. “ well you see sweetheart. Ralph and me had some complications. We are currently in the process of getting divorced.” Your heart told you to apologise for bringing it up an try to make her feel better. But she seemed unperturbed. “ I’m so sorry. If there’s anything I can do.” She looked up when you said this. “ well actually there is something we could do to get my mind off of it.” She started to stand up. “ what would that be? I’d love to help.” You asked innocently. She walked closer to you and she sat down on the ottoman in front of you. It took her 30 seconds of silence just staring into your eyes for her to finally crash her lips on yours. She tasted like pudding. The kiss was sweet and somewhat teasing. Her lips played against yours. You let your hands find her neck pulling her closer. Your tongue met a sharp point and your every muscle tensed as you realised your mistake. Agnes felt the change in your body and pulled away. God she looked so pretty with her lips kiss swollen. “ is- is this ok?” She asked looking Seriosuly worried. “ no it’s fine. More than fine. Amazing actually it’s just...” you tried to think of an excuse that would let this continue and not raise suspicion. You let your tongue flick at the tooth in your mouth. Agnes reached up to put the hair behind your ear as she had done the first time she met you. When she did she gasped at your pointed ears. “
Oh my- your..” you started to speak mumbling over excuses. “ your from Hel” that you weren’t expecting. Your eyes shot up at the mention of your home dimension. “ yeah but how did you-“ she cut you off. She jumped at you kissing you intensely. She forced her tongue in your mouth.  The two of you kissed and pulled away for breath. Agnes began to place kisses down your neck nipping at the skin as she went. “ I always heard girls from Hel were hot but I couldn’t imagine anything like this.” You were shocked. No one really knew about Hel except Asgardians on Earth and of course the government. you gasped as she kissed your neck. “ oh sweetie. You think your the only one awake in here?” Your anxiety rose but then you realised she would have already told Wanda if she was planning on it. “ I-I guess I did.” She stopped. This was a conversation that needed to happen without.. distractions. “ Let’s just say, I have some background in magic.” The feeling of coven witch magic sparked your skin. “ your a coven witch.” She nodded. “ we worship you creature from Hel you know that? At least my coven did. The fact that I’m here doing this with you- well it’s the greatest honour. I hope you don’t mind I’m here trying to stop Wanda.” You shook your head. Maybe it was the Hel in you but you were fine with it. Maybe even made you like her more. “ well good. Because you are going to be in for a long night doll.”

The Thrall of Magic X - 2020's (IV)
Chapter Summary: Wanda looks up when she enters, drink carefully held between her hands.  She leans against the wall the way awkward kids do in all those horrible eighties high school movies, but when she looks up and her emerald eyes find Agatha’s, she smiles.  None of the others can see the change then – Agatha’s fairly certain that Wanda doesn’t even notice it – but in that moment, Wanda starts to glow.
That is magic.
(It isn’t very subtle.  Not really.)
And drawn to magic like a moth to the flame, Agatha moves to Wanda, takes her drink, sips it, and sets it to one side with a raised brow.  “I think,” she says, “this party needs a dance floor.  What do you think, hon?”
companion piece to Kisses Through The Decades
Agatha Harkness/Wanda Maximoff Chapter Rating: M for sexual content Fic Rating: M for dark themes and sexual content
AO3
previous chapter / next chapter
Most people don’t acknowledge that magic exists.
You may say that’s not true, but it is.  In everything, there’s a little bit of magic – how else could air pulled in through struggling lungs be turned into something that propels a huge body forward?  Food stripped down to pieces so small that it isn’t even really food anymore but becomes fuel.  You might call that science – most people might – but science is just a way of seeing magic and trying to logic through it.  Just because you understand the process of something doesn’t mean it isn’t magic.
If you ask Agatha Harkness, she would say that the way Wanda slowly opens up to the others over the course of a short party is nothing short of great magic, but of a sort that would be a true tragedy to try and force.  There’s something magical in the way that Wanda accepts Todd’s words with a quiet sort of nod, the way she chats with Harold over his cocktails, the way she sits next to Sharon but not so close that Sharon will bristle.  These are things Wanda does instinctively, navigating her own anxieties of being around these people and soothing their anxieties in so doing.  There’s nothing that the average person would call magic in that.
But Agatha sees it, and she knows it, and she calls it such.
Magic wraps itself around Wanda and fills her every movement, her every action, her every way of being.  Where Wanda steps, magic ripples around her and bends – not to her will, but to her, which is an entirely different thing – and Agatha sees it and doesn’t know not to thrum with an envious sort of approval.
An hour or so into the party, Sarah hooks her elbow through Agatha’s as though to lead her out onto the dance floor (that Agatha started, much to no one’s surprise) but instead drags her back to the bedroom.  She only releases her to shut the door behind them, and then turns to Agatha with narrowed eyes.  “Now—”
“Look, hon, if you wanted me all to yourself,” Agatha starts to say, then pauses just long enough to let her eyes sweep Sarah’s scrawny form, how appetizing she appears with her hair coiffed the way it is, with the pretty pink dress she’s wrapped herself in.
“Agnes.”  Sarah huffs and crosses her arms.
For all that it was a joke, Agatha offers her a smug grin.  “You look good, hon.  But I’m sure Harold has already told you that.”
Sarah’s gaze grows hard.  “I didn’t drag you back here to talk about me.  I want to know what was going on between you and Wanda.”
“Oh, well.”  Agatha turns toward the door.  “That’s really none of your business, dear, so if you don’t mind me.”  She places her hand on the doorknob, only for Sarah to grab her wrist, fingernails digging into her skin.  Her teeth grit together – she does not think of how her mother once punished her – and growls out, “I don’t think that was your best idea, hon.”
“Then quit trying to run from me.”
Agatha breathes in magic.  It fills her lungs, threads through her veins, sprouts sharp along her nails.  “Sarah Proctor,” she continues to growl, “I may not have seemed a witch to you, and I may have been gentler with you than Wanda was, but that does not mean I’m not still a witch, and if you do not let me go, hon, then I will be forced to—”
Sarah’s grip on her wrist tightens.  Odd, for someone who is so afraid of magic, to instinctively keep putting herself in its way.  “Agnes, she doesn’t know who you are.  She thinks you’re like we were.”
“And you know this,” Agatha says, finally turning to meet Sarah’s eyes with her own, knowing that there are spots of deep purple within them, “but haven’t pretended to ask her about me in the least, have you?”  She tears her wrist out of Sarah’s grip, feeling her skin tear, and pulls herself up to her full height.  “The entire town knows what she meant to do to me, knows that she left me as she once had you, but you wouldn’t fight her for me, would you?”
“Agnes, that’s not the same as—”
“Leave us be, Sarah Proctor.”  Agatha glares at her.  “We have danced this dance before, and Wanda cannot hurt me.”  She runs her fingers along her wrist, tucking into magic, and mutters under her breath as her skin stitches itself back together as whole and imperfect as it was before.
Sarah stares at Agatha’s wrist.  “What happened to you,” she says calmly, “in the Hex?”  Then she glances up and meets Agatha’s gaze, holding it with her own.  “Why can’t Wanda hurt you?”
And Sarah doesn’t say it, but Agatha hears it in her thoughts so loud that she doesn’t even need to reach far to find the words, And how can I get it for my daughter?
“Wanda did something else to me,” Agatha admits.  “Something she does not understand and which neither of us can give anyone else.”  This latter is not entirely true, but she considers it an essential lie.  Could Wanda make someone else impenetrable to her magic?  Yes.  Would she?  Not likely.  A child, perhaps, yes, but there is too much risk in that child growing up and seeking to harm her – with no way to protect herself, what would Wanda do then?  But then Wanda would never think of that.
(Wanda doesn’t even know what she did to Agatha, and she would hate herself if she did.  More than that, she would try to undo it.
But magic protects Agatha from Wanda now.  Not because it likes Agatha particularly.  But because that’s what Wanda’s spell did.)
Agatha is certain that if Wanda believed she could make everyone safe from herself, then she would, to her own detriment.  She would think that is something she could revoke at any time, cast a massive spell, and realize much later that all she has done is broken herself.  Someone would come to find her.  Someone would come to kill her.
And if she didn’t have any better reason to maintain her life, Wanda would let them.
No.  Best to tell Sarah that this is something that can’t be done again.  Better still to not let Wanda ever know that she did it in the first place.
Then Sarah takes Agatha’s hand in her own, gentle, and lifts it until her now healed wrist rests in the air between them.  “Could she hurt you the way I hurt you?”
“Of course, she can, super star, but only if I let her.”  Agatha gives Sarah a wink.  She nods to her wrist.  “Now, do you want to try that again, or am I free to go, hon?”
There’s an intentional underlying threat here.  If Sarah tries to keep her here, Agatha will not be the one hurting for it.  But she doesn’t want to say that out loud.  Sarah’s a nice gal.  She’s trying to have this conversation out of the goodness of her heart, which mostly makes her an even better gal.
But Sarah Proctor is in over her pretty little head.
Sarah steps forward and takes Agatha’s hand gently in her own.  “You are my friend, Agnes,” she says, firm, “and I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
Agatha snorts and takes her hand out from Sarah’s.  “Then don’t look.”  She turns and leaves the bedroom without another word.  When she returns to the living room, she scans the room and finds that their absence hasn’t entirely been noticed.  The others are still talking amongst themselves.  Harold seems to still be in the kitchen making cocktails, and Wanda….
Wanda looks up when she enters, drink carefully held between her hands.  She leans against the wall the way awkward kids do in all those horrible eighties high school movies, but when she looks up and her emerald eyes find Agatha’s, she smiles.  None of the others can see the change then – Agatha’s fairly certain that Wanda doesn’t even notice it – but in that moment, Wanda starts to glow.
That is magic.
(It isn’t very subtle.  Not really.)
And drawn to magic like a moth to the flame, Agatha moves to Wanda, takes her drink, sips it, and sets it to one side with a raised brow.  “I think,” she says, “this party needs a dance floor.  What do you think, hon?”
Wanda’s eyes widen.  “I don’t think that’s a good—”
But Agatha takes her hands in her own and tugs her out to the middle of the living room floor.  She places her hands at Wanda’s hips the way Wanda’s hands keep finding their way to hers and starts to sway.  “They’ll start the music when they’re ready to join us.”  As she’s speaking, someone starts an old crooner tune.  She leans forward and whispers in Wanda’s ear.  “See?  Told you.”
When she pulls back, Agatha catches the scarlet flush along Wanda’s cheeks hidden beneath that still gentle glow.  She glances over the side and catches Sarah staring at the both of them, her arms crossed, and she tilts her head to one side, gesturing for her to join them.
It takes a moment, but Sarah returns to the floor with her husband.  She nudges Agatha only once as they dance and gives her a look before Agatha can hear in her mind, clear as day, Be careful.  Don’t get yourself killed.
Agatha almost – almost – laughs.  Killed is the very least of her problems.
~
The thing Agatha learns very, very quickly is that her little Sokovian princess does not hold her liquor very well.  Honestly, she would have thought the opposite, given the little she knows of her upbringing, but now she suspects that Wanda didn’t drink much at all in Sokovia, or that when she did, she had her twin brother to keep an eye on her and make sure she would be safe.  (Agatha has a sneaky suspicion it’s that Wanda didn’t drink, that Wanda was the one who kept an eye on a twin brother who was much more likely to drink to excess.)  Or maybe that little terrorist organization they’d been part of hadn’t thought it a great idea to let their pet projects even potentially get drunk.
Whatever the case, Wanda Maximoff is a lightweight, and Agatha has had Harold give her cocktails with a wrong expectation of how well she would hold up, and when Sarah tells them it’s time to go, it has nothing to do with Agatha at all and everything to do with how absolutely sloppy Wanda is becoming.  She stumbles out of the front door, she stumbles down the sidewalk as they walk back to Agatha’s current house, and she stumbles up the stairs to Agatha’s front door.
Anyone else, any other time, Agatha would be much more likely to magic away the heels and replace them with something a little easier to walk in.  But even with Wanda as drunk as she is, she doesn’t want to take that chance.  If the littlest witch notices the change, her drunk reaction could be worse than her sober one.
Nuh-uh.  Bad idea.
So once they are inside, Agatha sits Wanda down on her couch, which is a much safer place than trying to get her upstairs to the spare bedroom.  She crouches down in front of her, places her hands on her knees, and meets Wanda’s dazed emerald eyes.  “Stay here while I get you some water, hon.”  Then she reaches out and just boops Wanda’s nose.  “Don’t try to follow me.”
Wanda breaks into giggles before batting at Agatha’s finger.  “Don’t tell me what to do, Harkness.”  Her giggling cuts off all at once, eyes wide, and she gasps.  “I…I mean Agnes.”  She says the name all in a hush, like it’s some sort of secret between them.
“I know what you mean, dear.”  Agatha brushes errant strands of Wanda’s hair back from her face and gently kisses her forehead as she stands.  “Stay here.”
Wanda nods and keeps nodding as Agatha leaves, but Agatha can hear the commotion she makes in the other room while she pours two glasses of water.  (She might not be drunk – she grew up in a time where beer was safer to drink than water and knows her limits well, which means she knows how to not pass them when she wants to make sure to keep an eye on her tongue, like she does now – but that doesn’t mean she won’t appreciate a glass for herself.)  Then there’s the sharp sound of glass shattering.
“Hon?” Agatha calls out.  “Everything okay in there?”
There’s no answer.
Agatha isn’t afraid for Wanda, for the Scarlet Witch herself.  Magic has chosen her for its own; it won’t let her be harmed too terribly by whatever glass she’s found in Agatha’s living room.  In fact, when Agatha returns, magic has changed her living room to mimic what Wanda imagined it would be – the antique cabinet from the Hex full of ancient teacups and new display on the other side of the fireplace, one that Wanda is standing in front of with a look of chagrin, one that is full of—
“I’m sorry, Nessie, I didn’t mean to—”
Nessie?
Agatha steps carefully across shards of a broken shot glass, sets the glasses of water on the fireplace mantle, but then hesitates before just touching Wanda’s hand.  “It’s fine, hon.  You’re a witch.  You can fix it, remember?”  Instead of looking at the display full of shot glasses (because apparently the new and improved Agnes also collects shot glasses), she looks at Wanda, at the look of embarrassment on her face.
“I’m a little….”  Wanda bites her lower lip.  “I’m a little drunk, Nessie.  I could hurt you.”  She doesn’t even pause before she says, voice low, “I already hurt you.”  Her gaze drops, and her fingers fidget together.  “I don’t want to hurt you.  I don’t want to hurt anyone.”
Gently, gently, Agatha lifts Wanda’s chin.  “Look at me, love.”  She waits for Wanda to glance up then meets her eyes.  “You won’t hurt me.  You can’t.”
Wanda shakes her head.  “I already did.  You don’t know, and I already did.  You’re hurting now, and it’s all my fault, and it’s because you hurt me first, and I didn’t want to hurt you.”  Her gaze drops again, fixates on Agatha’s lips as she licks her own.  “I didn’t want to hurt you,” she repeats, slower, leaning forward.
Before she can say anything else – before she can do anything else – Agatha interlaces their fingers.  “Here,” she says, “let me help you.  With the shot glass.”
Wanda jumps away from her.  “Right.  The shot glass.  Right.  I need to fix it, I need to fix everything, I need to—”  She reaches out with her free hand, and the shards of glass stitch themselves back together like so many woven threads.  Then she catches it and holds it out to her.  “Here.  I fixed it.  I fixed something.”
“Good girl.”  Agatha takes the shot glass in her free hand, runs a thumb over the India etched on it in orange, and sets it on the display without looking to see if it fits in place.  “You said you were hurting me, hon?”  She turns to the glasses of water, pretending not to look at Wanda as she asks, “Do you think you could fix me, too?”
Magic ripples around her, and Wanda grows white, ashen.  She turns away from her, returns to the couch, and collapses onto it without saying anything else.  Whatever glow it’d given her at Sarah’s party is long gone; if anything, she’s sunken in on herself.  Chatty, sure, but not in a good way.
Agatha follows her with the glasses of water.  “You need to drink something, dear.”  She hands her the glass.  “Here.  Drink this.  It’ll help you feel better.”
Wanda nods.  Takes the glass.  Sips at it.  Glances around the room.  “We should make a pillow fort,” she says into the silence between them.  “We could make a really good fort in here.  Pietro and I used to make forts all the time, and my mama and papa, they would curl up in them for our shows.”  She bites her lower lip.  “I should have made one with my boys, before….”  Her voice trails off into nothing.
Without a second thought, Agatha pulls the pillow from behind her and throws it at Wanda.
It barely misses her, and Wanda stares at her, open-mouthed.  “I was having a moment!” she finally splutters out.
“You were getting depressed, love, and I will not abide a depressed drunk.”  Agatha takes another sip of her water and sets it to one side.  “Now—”
The pillow hits her square in the face just as she’s sitting back up.
Agatha catches it as it falls into her lap and stares at Wanda, who looks nonchalantly around the rest of the room.  She raises an eyebrow.  “What happened to making a fort, hon?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You just threw this pillow at me.”
“You threw it first.”
“I didn’t hit you.”
“You could have!”  Wanda stares at Agatha, wide-eyed.  “I was holding a glass!  It could have broken!  I could have been hurt—”
Agatha throws the pillow at her again and hits her square in the face.  When it drops into Wanda’s lap, she glares at Agatha.  “That’s not fair,” she says with a pout, crossing her arms.  “I wasn’t ready.  You’re supposed to wait until I’m ready.”
But Agatha just gives her a shrug.  “All’s fair in love and war, super star.  I think you—”
Wanda throws the pillow at her again, but this time, Agatha is ready.  She dodges it neatly and starts to grin up at Wanda, only to notice that the littlest witch isn’t on the other side of the couch anymore but has moved towards her instead.  There’s no time to react before Wanda brushes her fingers along the inside of her knee.
She squirms.  “That’s not a pillow fight—”  Laughter catches in her throat as Wanda continues to tickle her.  “You changed the game, dear—”
“All’s fair in love and war,” Wanda echoes as she leans forward, running her fingers along the small of Agatha’s waist.
Agatha’s breath catches in her throat.  This isn’t just tickling – there’s that, too, obviously – but there’s magic poised at the tip of Wanda’s fingers unbidden, and with every touch along her skin, there’s a double punch, one from Wanda herself, the other the shock of magic, pure and unadulterated, brushing gentle and loving against her.  She curls into the one but recoils from the other, breathless, and doesn’t even notice she’s tried to get Wanda back until both of her wrists are pinned above her head with one of Wanda’s hands.
She should be afraid.
Wanda can’t hurt her.
She’s still afraid.
Wanda can’t hurt her.
“Stop,” Agatha makes out between breaths, soft in her fear and powerlessness.
“Say uncle.”  Wanda’s eyes gleam with drunken amusement, lips curling back in a grin.
Agatha shakes her head.  “No.”
“Say it.”
“No.”
“Say it!”
Agatha squirms.  She looks back and forth, trying to come to her senses, to get that sudden fear under control.  Wanda isn’t trying to hurt her.  She’s just drunk.  She’s just playing.  But pinned and under someone else’s control – under Wanda’s control – sends her senses on high alert.  Normally, she would call on magic to help her, would mutter something under her breath between shaking gasps, would curve her fingertips into the closest threads and set a spell that would set her free.  She won’t do that with Wanda where she is, she won’t do that when she’s already afraid of a witch who isn’t intent on harming her because the moment she does that will change, she won’t make herself more vulnerable by drawing power to herself.
It isn’t instinct, it’s a primal desire to protect self when Agatha breaches the distance between them and kisses Wanda.
Wanda loosens her hold on Agatha’s wrists.  Her tickling fingers settle.  She parts from Agatha, searches her eyes.  “You changed the game,” she accuses.
“Sure did, hon.”  Agatha smirks, heart pounding within her.  “What are you going to do about it?”
The pause lasts less than a second, but it feels longer as Wanda stares down at her, as her pupils widen with an unspoken desire.  “I…I can’t,” she mumbles, hold loosening even further.  “I’ll hurt you—”
She could leave it here.
She could.  Whatever hold the Darkhold might have over her, Wanda is clearly resisting.  Very vocally resisting.  But the question here is how long she can hold out.  Wanda’s magic overcomes her when she’s at her most emotional.  This is not her most emotional.  Not even close.
Agatha leans up again.  “Don’t you remember, hon?”  She brushes her nose against Wanda’s.  “I told you.”  She kisses the curve of her jaw.  “I always wanted—”
Wanda breaks.
When she kisses Agatha, there’s nothing calm or gentle about it, only a sinking, desperate need.  The hand at her waist moves to the edge of her shirt and pushes beneath it as magic unties the ribbon around her; her fingers dig into Agatha’s skin, nails scratching hard enough to prick blood.  She bites Agatha’s tongue, tugs on her bottom lip, and then smiles when Agatha lets out a startled gasp of pain.  “This?” she murmurs, brushing her nose along Agatha’s neck.  “This is…what you wanted?”  She bites hard enough to bruise on Agatha’s pulse point.
And in all of this, magic.  It thrums along Agatha’s skin, stitches each and every wound back together the moment Wanda crafts them, healing every spot of pain while continuing to steadily disrobe her, removing the ribbon about her waist, undoing the clasp of her jeans—
Wanda moves the hand pinning Agatha’s wrists to press against the skin of her waist as her other hand rakes nails higher up Agatha’s skin, and Agatha grabs fistfuls of Wanda’s hair, drags her away from her neck and back up.  She kisses her, bruising Wanda’s lips the way hers have been bruised, magic angry and soothing between them, before she asks, a thought that she makes certain Wanda can hear, Is this what you want?
The other witch doesn’t even hesitate.
I want YOU.
The words roar into Agatha’s mind, and in the same moment she relaxes into the thrall of Wanda’s desperate need, Wanda stops, crumbles against her.  “No,” she murmurs, and again, “No,” and again, “No, no, no, no, no.”  She presses her forehead into Agatha’s clavicle and shakes her head against her skin.  “I can’t.  I can’t—”
Agatha doesn’t move.
“You weren’t supposed to be like this, you said you would catch me, and then you attacked me, and this isn’t you, and I can’t do this to you again.”
Agatha pauses, listens, waits, and then says into the quiet between them, “Do you think maybe this is what I deserve?”
And then that even clearer response, unspoken, No.
Wanda shivers against her, and Agatha wraps her arms around her, running her fingers through Wanda’s hair.  She could say a lot of things in this moment – there are a lot of things to say – but right now, the one that leaves her lips first is, “Thank you,” a pause, and then, “for stopping.”  She can’t be sure if Wanda heard her or if she even understood what she said, but the words rest there between them anyway, a soft and quiet thing.
~
Later, after Agatha has carefully settled Wanda in the spare bedroom, she steps outside with a mug of hot tea, one that near burns her fingers and certainly burns her tongue when she takes the first near boiling drink, burns all the way down her throat.  She needs it, the burn, and she stares up at the cloudless sky, at stars she once knew so well, at what is hidden by artificial lights but not made lesser.  A part of her aches for those months, so early on, after everything with her coven, when the boy she’d loved hid her on his ship and then held her in the crow’s nest while they stared up at a universe that had seemed so large and incomprehensible.  She’d needed someone to stitch her back together then, and she’d needed Cian later to stitch her back from an even further brokenness, one that would have left her dead without their intervention.
Agatha Harkness doesn’t believe in miracles, but she does believe in magic, that when it cares enough it can bend and twist itself to protect those it loves.  She’s just never believed that it could love her.  But in calling her to stitch together this broken witch, doesn’t that mean that those others, too, had been called in to stitch her together?  That, at those points and many others beside, magic was working to heal her, too?
That, maybe, this is what it has been doing all along?
She stares up into the night sky and she speaks to the magic all around her, the magic within her, the magic that throbs in her veins, “Do you love me?”
The stars shine bright about her.  The cool and cooling breeze eases her burnt tongue.  She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath of magic.  Breathes it out the same as she always does.
Then stretches her aching back and returns to her aching witch.
~
Wanda isn’t quite asleep when Agatha returns to her room with another glass of water.  She looks up, near groggy, as Agatha places the cup on her bedside table, and asks, bleary, “What are you….”  She rubs her eyes and tries again.  “What are you doing here?”
“Couldn’t let you sleep in that dress, love.”  Without a second thought, Agatha waves her hand and the soft sweater dress and tights Wanda is wearing shift into a plain, oversized white shirt.  “There,” she murmurs.  “That’s better.”
Wanda blinks twice.  Her brow furrows.  “You…magic.”  She looks at the shirt, shakes her head, and then wiggles her own fingers, turning it into an exact copy of the Wicked Witch shirt Agatha is still wearing.  “There,” she says with a sad smile.  “We match.” She runs her fingers along the shirt.  “We’re both wicked.”
Agatha sits on the mattress next to her.  “No, love.”  She brushes strands of hair back out of Wanda’s face.  “We’re both witches.”
It takes a second for what Agatha has said to sink in with what Agatha has done, and once it does, Wanda turns and looks up at her.  “I didn’t hurt you?”
“No,” Agatha says with the same sad smile Wanda wore only moments earlier.  “You could never hurt me.”  Then the expression fades.  “Now scoot.  You’re drunk, and I’m drunk, and you spent a lot of time earlier using me as your Kleenex, so I think I’m allowed.”
Wanda stares at her, confused, and then scoots back.  “You don’t want to hurt me.”
“Never did.”
Wanda’s brow furrows again as Agatha settles beneath the sheets next to her.  “You called me love.”
Agatha sighs.  “Yes, love, it’s a pet name, one of many—”
“Do you love me?”
She doesn’t even hesitate as she wraps Wanda in her arms again, letting them rest easy just at her waist.  They fit there just as easily as Wanda’s hands fit on hers.  “Of course, I do, hon.  Surprised it took you so long to notice.”
Wanda curls against Agatha’s chest.  She hesitates and then asks, her voice even softer, “You’re in love with me, aren’t you, Agatha?”  She says it like a revelation, like she’s held the jewel of their relationship up under the starlight and seen its different facets and known it for what it is, known it for something she’s never seen before.
Instead of saying anything, Agatha shifts away just enough to kiss Wanda’s forehead.  In the morning, a sober Wanda will feel very differently about all of this, but for now – for now – Agatha will take this.  Magic stirs at their touch, a yawning, desperate thing, and for a moment, just a moment, Agatha sees once more the glow that captured Wanda earlier, returning just where her lips brush her skin.  Then she glances further down and meets Wanda’s tired, tired eyes.  “We should get some sleep, dear.”
By the time she finishes saying it, Agatha is certain Wanda has already dozed off.  She’s not sure how much of this Wanda will remember in the morning, but she doesn’t have to worry about it until then, doesn’t want to worry about it until then.  For now, this is all she wants.  Just to lay here, with Wanda in her arms, with magic curled and crafted between them.

incoherent post about Episode 5, "On A Very Special Episode..." so spoiler warming folx
the twins aging up seemingly at will. iconic.
the humor is back! Vision using pacifiers as ear plugs was a 10/10 joke
agnes is honestly getting increasingly conspicuous and im curious how long it'll take Vision to put two and two together. the entire "What did she say just now, taking it from the top?" scene was incredibly tense and i love it.
i feel like the "getting a dog and burying him in the same day" thing is a reference of Vision to the decades changing so quickly. it was said in an interview that there's meaning to everything and even in-universe, Darcy asked why they change episode to episode and that "couldn't purely be for [her] own enjoyment". i could bet it's connected to someone giving Wanda (or she giving herself) a seeming life time with Vision stretched over decades. its a working theory tho
the meta-ness of this episode is *chef's kiss*. Monica insisting Wanda could have taken down Thanos single-handedly? Jimmy interjection that Captain Marvel is equally as strong if not stronger? The entire bit about Wanda not having an alias as a jab at Marvel not using/being licensed to use the name Scarlet Witch?? impeccable writing, please never stop.
the team up Monica, Darcy, Jimmy. need i say more?
Monica knowing something is foul about the FBI dude pulling up this "previously top secret S.W.O.R.D." video material of Wanda allegedly stealing Vision's corpse against her wishes. she smelled it immediately and it's very clear by the look on her face.
everything about the scene of Wanda stepping out of the barrier, dragging the broken drone behind her and going "this is your only warning". and then proceeding to absolutely own the puny little man by mind controlling all of his men while turning her fucking back on him like the queen she is. ma'am, please step on me 😍
the Lagos commercial?? "for when you make a mess you didn't mean to". I stand by the theory that the commercials are by whoever decides to censor, cut and frame the broadcast and that they're aimed at Wanda for whatever reason. why? no idea but this one seems far more radical and personal than the previous ones.
the mini-standoff between Wanda and Vision. Vision's fear coming through
"Why are there no other children in Westview, Wanda?" and wanda dodging the question. she knows more than she lets on or at least she has an idea. he pointed out she probably didn't know at first but does now, like many of us suspected already. and im quite honestly really stoked to find out if Vision gets suspicious of his sons. the flair i got from today's episode was very comic-faithful of "Wanda created the children and Vision recognises them to not be real", but I'm not sure if they would actually go there. then again, they also confirmed Wanda is living with Vision's reanimated corpse that she stole only a few days prior and none of us really bat an eye so im not willing to bet on it.
PIETRO. FUCKING. MAXIMOFF. x-men pietro. i screeched. i didn't dare believe they would. but they foreshadowed. again and again. "mommy, do you have a brother?". "family is forever". "you can bring back the dead". and then evan peters just. THERE. on the mf screen. i still haven't processed tbh. (and if im brutally honest im head over heels for what this could mean for the possible spideypool shit. i just want andrew garfield back man)
it seems y'all were right btw, agnes is becoming so prominent that the Agatha Harkness theories are super realistic rn.
the time line of this show is crazy. it took Wanda 12 days from the end of Endgame to go steal Vision's corpse from S.W.O.R.D. and another 9 for us to get to the start of the show.
there's probably a lot more, i will edit this post but for now I'm done. please, as always, let me know your highlight by replying and/or reblogging, im excited to hear your thoughts!

Peggy Carter always gets her girl.
Cat Got Your Tongue (ao3) - Meskeet peggie/angie T, 10k

Agnes’s hair trends as dark a grey as the world allows, but even it isn’t a pure black. The closest to that is the ribbon tied tight around her waist, accenting the narrowness of it, the hourglass shape of her. Wanda’s hands have found that waist far many times to count at this point, if only to usher her out of the kitchen when she’s stayed – not past her welcome, because that sounds rude, but…well, past her welcome.

WandaVision: When you can’t let go of that robo-lovin.
So, I just finished watching "WandaVision", and I must say, right off the bat 
- I LOVED IT!
Tumblr media
Disney Plus is finally paying off. I'm in the group of peeps who got DP, not for the mouse, but for the ones whom the mouse is in bed with, and most recently on Mickey's playtime Marvel List - Wanda Maximoff and her robo-boy toy VISION... or is that “THE Vision”? - that seems kinda ostentatious, but whatever.
When I first heard that Wanda was getting a series, I said "Who cares?" I don't care bout no Wanda! What has she been other than a weird pest?
Let's review:
She tried to kill the Avengers, she accidentally injures and kills innocent people, she was getting in the way, so Tony Stark had to get his CPU (Vision) to babysit her, she falls in love with the CPU - can we talk about how strange this is? I didn't say wrong, just different, cuz honestly, we may be headed there soon. That movie "Her" might be a reality with how tech is going these days.
But, imagine I come to your home and fall in love with your laptop (which messes everything up for you with all your devices and your social media), THEN (as Wanda did with Vision), I run off on some romantic journey with all of your devices. Imagine how Tony would have felt, if he was still with us.
She had one job when it came to Thanos, and it ended up not mattering.
Tumblr media
Then, went full rage on the wrong Thanos.
Tumblr media
Idk if that’s a look (Thanos) pain, release, of he’s listening to his jam. Kinda looks like he’s saying “JESUS”. But, Wanda is pissed.
Wanda: "You took everything from me!"
Thanos: "Lady, I don't even know you!"
I didn't care about Wanda. But, damn, Marvel is so good that in one episode they made me care; one trailer, really.
If you had not seen the trailer for this series, you might be confused by the first episode. 
Tumblr media
You might even ask yourself - "What the bleep is this nonsense?!" We want heroes vs villains. We want super-powered explosions. We want capes, ridiculously tight clothes, bulky armor, and anything else that makes no sense to fight in.
You're giving me "Bewitched"?
Tumblr media
I DID see the trailer, so I knew going in that it would be a slow burn with some nostalgia, some quirks, and some eeriness; right up my alley.
The change in Tv decade styles btw *chef kiss*
Tumblr media
I figured that they'd be trapped in some mysterious, magical world - which they are...
Unless you're super geeky with the funny books, there's no way you'll see what's coming in this mystery.
And it IS a mystery, not only to the audience, but for the characters involved in this show. Don't nobody know what the hell is going on.
But, LaWanda and Vishawn 
Tumblr media
(sorry, I just wanted to use this pic - Ha! Y'all are crazy.)had help figuring things out:
Rambo
Tumblr media
Yeah, it's actually Monica Rambeau, 
Tumblr media
but... admit it, some of you kept thinking about Rambo too, right?? No offense to this actress, but I'd rather see old man Sly play Rambo, and HIM be in this mysterious WandaVision town. Let's get Disney a lil bloody. Wishful thinking, I suppose.
Tumblr media
Marvel WILL BE venturing into multiple universes soon, so perhaps Rambo finds his way to team up with The Punisher? Huh?? YEAH!
But, no... Rambeau (meh No personality, but whatever).
Randall Park - 
Tumblr media
He's that person we all know who has made us laugh so much in life, that they don't even need to say anything anymore; you look at them and laugh. I love this dude!
Kat Dennings - 
Tumblr media
I remember liking her more in the Thor movies.  I found her annoying, this time around.   She joins the mystery to figure tech stuff out, and she's a doctor or something (don't you forget it!). She also asks the team she just meets to get her some coffee, and acts like they're disrespecting HER, by their lack of response. I know she's a doctor and all, but damn! Imagine some electrician comes to your place to serve YOU, they're condescending to you, and then  they ask you for some coffee. Get the hell outta here!
Oh, and there's a dude named “Director Dick”. That's my name for him, but the name fits.
The people in this town are acting out as if they've been scripted for some show. And all of these characters, AND US, get to figure it out together - through antics from different times in Tv culture. 
Times sure were different back in the day:
No social justice issues implanted or cursing or sex or drugs... now, I'm not saying it was a better time, just a different one :) A time when dad jokes ruled! Simple times! Ignorance was bliss. But, it kinda wasn't - not really.
It's like having an animal die on your property somewhere, and it starts to stink. You COULD find the truth of the stench... or light candles everywhere. Some really strong candles - maybe some of those Gwyneth Paltrow candles.
Tumblr media
Though the stench might get covered up, the problem is still there. At some point, your kids could find the dead rotting animal... maybe start playing with it... you get the point.
In this show, the townspeople's minds have been taken over by someone or something, and it's torturous for them. So... bliss on the surface, but... not so much, going deeper. I tell you all of this, plus great production in each epi, a good slow-burn mystery, and fun with comic characters in a way we haven't seen before on screen, and hell yeah - Grade: A series.
Now... spoilers.
You might want to leave now.
Tumblr media
People, Wanda is the villain here. I'm not sure if that's the message the writers are trying to convey or not, but I don't care; she is the clear villain here.
Tumblr media
Here’s Wanda reading some Hell book, conjuring some dark spirits - nbd.
We are rooting for her throughout this show; even after we find out that she has been (even if not maliciously) controlling every one, we still root for her.
I'm not saying that's bad, but we can't forget about what she has done! Remember, I said that the mind control was torturous for the townspeople.
There's a very emotional moment at the end of this series between Wanda and Vision, and between them and their kids (yeah, they have kids... that's a whole other thing). This moment is well done and touching. There's even a bad ass fight between Wanda and the "true... villain"? - of this story. I'll get to her in a sec (There’s a badass Vision fight scene as well).
I loved all of that! But, at the end of the day...
I know Wanda is grieving and all, we all grieve, but we all don't, in our grief, take a whole town hostage, torture the people, all while playing house with our family. That's kinda sick, no??
Are we doing a girl-power thing? or a “witches are people too” thing? or “but she’s doing it all for her family” thing (yeah, they’re not actually real, but whatever)? I don’t know.
I'm not sure that we know what a villain is anymore. It used to be clear - the guy with the beard was the bad guy, or the guy wearing the black outfit was the bad guy, or the people who aren't Americans are the bad guys :)
But, movies like "Joker" and "Deadpool" and Harley's joint have confused some.
Who else would be the villain? There's a character, the villain (i guess), a witch named Agatha Harkness, played by Kathryn Hahn
Tumblr media
Here she is saying “I’m the villain? Really? What about her?!!”
   - she's excellent btw; def the highlight of this show; her and Paul Bettany's hair game.
Tumblr media
But, let's compare:
Agatha: 
betrays her coven back in the day, sure, but why you bringing up old shit? 
She allows Wanda to play out this fantasy for a while, and even played along. She could have just killed her when she was ignorant; that's what I would have done. She eventually shows Wanda the truth (granted, she then wants Wanda's power, but hey, everything has a price. And for all we know, she would have used all of that power to... cure the worlds diseases or something... though prob not:). Annnd maybe she killed an imaginary puppy. Convo for another time: if you kill something that's not real, does it matter??
That's it!
She didn't (like Wanda): abduct a town, torture its people, bring Vision back from the dead (kinda), endanger soldiers who were just doing their jobs, create weird fantasies (And did she have sexy time with previously dead, fake Vision? This thing gets even weirder if she did. But, let's not go down that path.) Oh, and she magically punted a black woman (Rambo) the length of a football field just for her asking Wanda some questions.
When the townspeople finally regain their minds (Lord knows how long it's been), they look at her with disdain, and I don't blame them.  And what does Wanda do?? - shrug, put on a hoodie, and fly off - to break into somebody's home and read some devil book.
Where’s cancel culture in this universe? 
I know she made us feel, but I ask again, who's the villain here?
Tumblr media
Still Grade A stuff for me (again, I loved this!), but c'mon, people.
We get a glimpse of Captain Marvel 2 as well. My fingers are crossed. I actually liked the first movie. But, many others did not, and one of the reasons - Captain Marvel doesn't have much of a personality, and another - she's too powerful (no risk).
So, to answer the critics, we have Monica Rambeau - another ridiculously super-powered hero, with no personality. So, two unrelatable characters flying around in space, as Sam L Jackson tries not to curse. But, if Marvel can make me care about evil ass Wanda, I'll still hold out hope for Capt Marvel 2.

How WandaVision Captured the Secret Horror of The Sims
https://ift.tt/3c5APXV
This article contains spoilers for WANDAVISION.
WandaVision‘s stunning finale alters the landscape of the MCU by posing a series of questions that seemingly set-up Marvel Studios’ biggest post-Endgame plans. It’s could be years until we get definitive answers to all of those questions, but there’s little doubt that we’ll eventually look back on WandaVision as the bold experiment that laid the groundwork for whatever comes next.
Still, there’s a good chance that when people think back on WandaVision years from now, it won’t be the MCU elements of the show they remember most fondly. No, that honor will likely go to those weeks when WandaVision left us wondering “What is happening?” As we watched Wanda and Vision take refuge in their idealistic suburban nightmare, millions wondered how they got there and what it all meant. We were fascinated by the idea of this powerful creature somehow pulling the strings in a world which, on the surface, seemed to disown the very idea of harm. It’s an element of the series that rightfully helped WandaVision earn its reputation as one of the boldest and strangest series in recent years.
Yet, there is something familiar about the machinations of WandaVision‘s universe, and I’m not talking about the various sitcoms the series paid tribute to. No, I’m talking about the strange ways that best, most mysterious, and sometimes scariest elements of WandaVision reminded me of The Sims.

Grief and Loss: The Origins of WandaVision and The Sims
In the late ’80s and early ’90s, video game designer Will Wright started making waves in the video game industry through his brand of “sim” titles that included SimCity and SimEarth. Much like how WandaVision‘s earliest episodes went against the MCU grain by dialing back on the action and spectacle, Wright’s early games abandoned the action-heavy focus of many video games at the time in favor of something stranger and more intimate.
The story goes that Wright started working on a prototype known as “Dollhouse” sometime in the early ’90s. What little we know about this prototype suggested that it was essentially designed to be spiritually similar to SimCity but would instead focus on building a house (or perhaps a series of homes) rather than an entire city. It seems that the earliest versions of the project largely focused on more mechanical architectural concepts.
However, the nature of Dollhouse reportedly changed when Wright lost his home to a devastating fire. Legend has it that as he began slowly rebuilding his home and filling it with new things, he thought more about how the value of a home was really less about its structure and the things inside and more about the people in it. As such, he rethought the Dollhouse concept and shifted the direction of the project towards a game that was as much about the people in a home rather than the house itself.
It’s been suggested that The Sims is designed as a parody of consumerism based on how much the happiness and “progress” of The Sims is tied to the many things they can buy, but that only seems to be a part of the equation. Much of what The Sims is trying to accomplish is actually reportedly based on psychological principles that Wright used to help better understand the designs of his digital people and the relationships the player would form with them.
For instance, Wright was initially inspired by the 1977 book A Pattern Language which was largely about architecture, but more broadly suggested that certain patterns and routines could help enhance a living space by creating a sense of familiarity and security. Another of Wright’s known early inspirations was the 1993 book Understanding Comics which argued, among other things, that part of the reason why comics connected with so many people was due, in part, to their nonlinear stories, use of iconic imagery over pure realism, familiar characters, and use of abstraction. Combined, these concepts helped shaped the way that sims’ moods were shaped by their surroundings, sense of belonging, and stability.
In many ways, Wright’s inspirations feel like the playbook for Wanda’s own designs as well as Marvel Studio’s design of the WandaVision series.

The Idealistic Patterns of Westview
It’s hard to ignore the ways that WandaVision parallels The Sims from both a meta and storytelling standpoint. Much like Will Wright, Wanda’s “inspirations” for the creation of Westview were her feelings of loss specifically triggered by the empty lot that should have been her home. In the same way that Wright eventually expanded his project to go beyond just the creation of structures, though, Wanda didn’t stop at crafting a house she and Vision could live in. Her experiences and her losses taught her that a home needed so much more than that.
When Wanda crafted the existence of at least her subconscious dreams, look at what she emphasized. She turned back to the iconic imagery of her own childhood and imagery instantly familiar to many who grew up on the idea of the idealistic suburban environment. It was partially a commentary on the absurdity of those concepts, but in that commentary was something very genuine about what those ideas and images mean to us on a much more profound level.
Like Wight’s architectural visions for his universe, Wanda’s also relied on patterns. The citizens of Westview were often relegated to routines that were sometimes as simple as endlessly hanging the laundry, but more often relied on maintaining the same basic role even as the decades seemingly went by. Even Wanda’s high-end furniture and other belongings remained largely the same even as the styles changed slightly over time.
In the sense that some of The Sims most “gamified” elements can be attributed to the idea of achieving certain live goals, there is a sense that Wanda felt, on some level, that she was offering the security, the familiarity, and the comforts that so many of us crave deep inside. Psychologically, she likely didn’t see it as torture or captivity so much as the chance to live somewhere where you could feel safe and welcome.
Much like Wight, Wanda is clearly fascinated with how those outside of Westview interact with her creations as well as how those within it interact with her and each other. In Wanda’s case, though, there is a sense that what she’s really striving for isn’t really an organic environment of social interactions but rather a form of controlled chaos. In the same way that Wight and what became The Sims‘ programming team struggled to constrain such dynamic A.I. (two female sims unintentionally kissed during an early preview video, which sparked a minor controversy at the time), Wanda’s attempts at adding and embracing more variables within Westview often proved that what she created couldn’t (and perhaps shouldn’t) be contained.
In the cases of Wanda, Agatha, and the average Sims player, though, it’s what happens when our psychology bleeds into the simulation that makes the whole thing so interesting and sometimes horrifying.
Pulling Ladders From Swimming Pools and Killing Sparky
In a study conducted by researchers from Lakehead University, Canada, it was discovered that Sims players with certain aggressive and even psychopathic traits would be more likely to behave more violently towards the sims their character interacted with. It’s believed that some of this behavior can be attributed to the belief that non-aggressiveness is somehow a sign of weakness.
It’s not just those with psychopathic tendencies who display such behavior, though. The internet is filled with stories of Sims players from all walks of life who have, at one point, tortured their creations. From stories of “painting goblins” whose sole job is to secretly supply the wealth of the family living above them to tales of starvation and electrocution, it seems many Sims players have, at one point, created chaos simply to see what happens.
It’s an idea best summarized by the classic idea of pulling the ladder out of a swimming pool. In the early versions of The Sims, you could get all of your characters in a swimming pool, delete the ladder in the pool, and watch as they slowly died due to a presumed total lack of upper body strength. It was a simple exploit many players discovered in their own ways, and, in the words of Sims producer Ryan Vaughan, it in some ways came to represent the greater idea of “giving players the ability to tell the stories they want to tell.” Indeed, many players will tell you that their interest in the idea of killing and torturing sims is more about their fascination to see what is possible and what will happen when you play outside of the “rules” of the game.
Few characters in WandaVision embody that idea as clearly as Agatha Harkness. As someone who willfully entered Westview from the outside, she’s long been interested in poking and prodding at the edges of this incredible scenario she can hardly believe. Some of it was part of her grand design, but some of her actions were seemingly done just to watch what happened next.
The killing of Sparky the dog is probably the “highlight” of both pursuits. On some level, Sparky’s death did further Agatha’s study of Wanda, but there’s also a very real sense that it was done to see how the environment would react to such an event. Was this a place that would simply reset such a tragedy, or would it be possible to introduce death and loss to such an idealistic world? If you pull the ladder out of the pool, can the sims in the water escape?
Yet, there is certainly something to be said for how Wanda’s own creations and actions embody the most horrific elements of The Sims not by trying to break patterns but by enforcing them.
Wanda and Sims Players: The Architects of Horror
Wanda modified the residents of Westview to conform to her vision. You can’t even bring in objects from the outside world without having them pass through a version of her filter. It’s eerily similar to the way that we create sims, homes, and entire neighborhoods in The Sims games.
In the rare situation when someone behaves outside of Wanda’s plans, she’ll exile them, correct them, or simply reset the scenario. As Vision observes during the show’s most horrifying moments, the spell that these people are under goes against their still very much alive nature to be free. Some can only silently cry as they go about their rigidly enforced routines.
While there is something undeniably cruel about torturing sims, perhaps there is another kind of cruelty in the idea that we can control them and make them rigid players in our own fantasies and visions. The Sims‘ advanced AI was designed to allow them a degree of freedom. Indeed, part of the fun of the experience should come from watching how they go about their lives when we’re not manipulating their every move.
Yet, Wanda was, at times, the kind of Sims player that has to make sure everyone is behaving correctly, optimally, and in-line with their idealistic escapism at all times. To that end, it’s hard to deny that part of the appeal of The Sims is the ability to answer the question “What if it was all in your control?” What if you could build the perfect house, get that dream job, and have control over the relationships in your life? While it was a game designed partially to showcase the value of life and how we balance human concepts against the motivations of consumerism, it’s difficult to say thatThe Sims was ever meant to be a game where every player was expected to “win” by creating the ideal and optimized life in the same way that SimCity would tangibly reward players in their pursuit of a Megalopolis.
If Will Wright could have exercised that kind of control over his own life, he would have almost certainly kept his house from burning down and we would have all benefited less from the grander ideas he came to be fascinated by as a result of that event. Wanda also couldn’t quite prevent the tragedies in her own life, but she did have the power to make everything at least appear “as it should be” rather than live with the pain of forging ahead in a world of chaos.
Though there is a kind of beauty and nobleness to her efforts, as we’ve seen throughout WandaVision and the history of The Sims, there is also a hidden horror in the idea that you have control over beings capable of playing out their own lives and that any deviation from that control is something that must somehow be corrected.

Kisses Through The Decades
by aparticularbandit
The world is full of various shades of grey – charcoal, smoke, silver, ash, pewter, steel, iron, and so on. For all the black and white, there is relatively little of that. Agnes’s hair trends as dark a grey as the world allows, but even it isn’t a pure black. The closest to that is the ribbon tied tight around her waist, accenting the narrowness of it, the hourglass shape of her. Wanda’s hands have found that waist far many times to count at this point, if only to usher her out of the kitchen when she’s stayed – not past her welcome, because that sounds rude, but…well, past her welcome.
Problem being, of course, that the more Wanda guides her by the waist out of the kitchen and through the back door, the more her hands find a proper place there.
