#like 'oh my favorite magical girl is thor!'

[magical-girl-hell]

dudes with a clear disdain for the genre will really walk into a conversation about magical girls and go, “actually my favorite magical girl is...” and then name some character who’s not even a girl.

[scoonsalicious]

Mother Pookie has fed her kitties well🩷🩷. There’s so many emotions idk which one i should talk about first?😭😂

BUT DANG chap 2.2 is just HOT

I am actually speechless😂 I have nothing to say except I am satisfied.

ITS SO GOOD OMG POOKIE? WHAT R U DOING TO ME? WHATT?!!😫😫

Lemme say, It didn’t take me long to hate Lilian. Like I swear, the moment she fucking said that Major looks like a SKANK gurl, fuck u.

My first impression on Major was like how Bucky saw her, a hot pretty dame that made me giggle like a teenager, making heart eyes and singing the whole world to my dick (if i have a dick)

And then throughout the chp, oh my goodness, I would’ve slap Leah the moment she starts bitching up. Major has a dang ass patience. I couldn’t.

THE THINGS I WOULD DO TO VOTE FOR BUCKYBABY TO BREAK HER HEART IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE (so far she’s 35% in my ‘dead’ list, better fix ur attitude if u don wanna end up like cunthage — ITS JUST BEEN 2 CHP?!)

Lindsay rubs the ick on me more than Jade (ofc Jade is worse but she dead now) but cuntly is so so so so so so so so so irritating. The absolute pick me, so called ‘one of the guys’. Ew. Even half of the team is irked by her attitude. That just says a lot.

Glad that our queen Major put her in her place. She needs more. Like, absolute humiliation (disclaimer: i dont support bullying but LILIAN FUCKING NEEDS IT)

And can we appreciate Wanda simping over Thor?😂 (you are not alone, i also dream of licking his abs — mhmmm)

Bucky and Major are purrrfect for each other. Its giving love at first sight 👀. Bucky simps hard. Like so hard. I can wait for more Bucky X Major scene (fluff,sexay — mayyybeeeee angst? i just love hurt myself)

Also, iMajor and Tony r absolutely gonna be ‘rich business badass besties’ and then them + Sam (Wanda and Nat at the back) roasting Leah. Oh what a beautiful dream~

Anyways, beautiful beautiful writing indeed. Waiting to see Bucky sexay POV next😂 Unleash the power of your blue balls. Also I can’t wait to read what your master brain had planned🌚. Love you Pookie🩷🩷🩷

PS// these past few days I was scrolling tumblr, searching for new Bucky fics/updates and honestly… I MISSED YOUU!!! I CANNOT STRESSED THAT ENOUGH!!! 😭 seeing your username the first thing when i opened tumblr made my night! i was planning on listening to songs, dwelling on my loneliness and delulu but LOOK AT ME NOW, ITS 4AM GOSH. THANK U POOKIE LOVE U HAVE A GREAT DAY

POOKIE! <3

Actual footage of me coming up to love on your comments:

I'm so glad people are enjoying 2.2! I gotta be real, I usually don't get hot and bothered when it comes time write smut, but that section? Whoa, boy... that section had me like:

(Yes, this is my second favorite gif of all time, and I will use Blanche to express my hot and bothered-ness whenever I can, lol)

I gotta tell you right now, the phrase "making heart eyes and singing the whole world to my dick (if i have a dick)" is now the highlight of my week, so I thank you for this. It's pure literary magic <3

Major is used to taking shit from peons; she was a woman in the military, after all, lol, which is why she's able to not let Lily phase her too much. Her patience will be tested, though. Where Cunthrage was just flat out unhinged, Lizard is more... selfishly insidious? Just, you know, she's not going to be kidnapping people and snapping their arms or murderously rampaging through Hydra bases or anything. (The stakes here are much, much lower, lol. Which, I guess, is going to prep us for Unbroken, where the stakes will be... Thanos-sized, lol.) I think what makes Lily feel worse, to me, is that she's far more realistic than Jade was. Like, I know girls like Lily irl; thankfully, never met a Jade (phew!). Much like Killgrave, to me, is the scariest Marvel villain, because I've encountered so many men like him in the real world.

The things I dream of doing to Thor would probably get me put on a list if he was a real person and not a fictional character, lol. Unless I'm doing AUs, I tend to stick with canon-pairings, but there is something about the idea of Wanda/Thor that I currently find very appealing, so hopefully, we will see something happen between the two of them. I think they would be adorable. And for some reason known only to my maker, I love making Wanda a little bit horny, lol. In fact, an earlier draft of Unwanted had Pocket referring to her as the Sokovian Horndog after she made some comments about Bucky's body, lol.

Is it weird that I don't plan on having Tony be too involved in this fic, because I feel like giving him a friendship with Major is like him cheating on his friendship with Pocket? That makes no sense whatsoever, lol, but I'm so protective of my girl. I'm like "Yeah, Major, I'll let you fuck Pocket's boyfriend, Bucky, but YOU CANNOT BE FRIENDS WITH HER PSUEDO-BROTHER TONY BECAUSE HE IS HERS!"

Bucky's got some sexy POV in the next sextion (see what I did there? lol) but there's going to be so much more smut in this one than Unwanted. It just feels right, lol.

Magic x Marvel: Idle Speculation

I have a lot of random thoughts about the upcoming Magic the Gathering x Marvel crossover, and I thought it would be neat to just ramble about them in a post, especially so I can hopefully find that post again later when the sets release and see how much I was right about. I'm just gonna bullet point this because this is kind of a stream of consciousness sort of deal:

We know that we're getting multiple "tentpole releases" a.k.a. more than one full set for this particular crossover. I'm thinking at least one is going to be a straight to Modern draftable set similar to the LotR set, but I don't think they're necessarily just doing that for all the sets. I speculate that the other (or one of the others if there's more than two) set is going to be a gimmick draft set, such as 2-Head Giant or Commander draft.

I personally am hoping one of the sets is a Commander draft set, and that our partner variant for the set goes the Stranger Things route and just creates a subset partner variant. I propose the name Team-Up, to represent the ubiquity of team up storylines in comic books. (I actually made an entire post about this but Tumblr's wonderful search function is choosing not to find it on my blog.)

Ooh, if they do go the Commander draft route they can make the Prismatic Piper equivalent a Skrull or something

I really, really want a Squirrel Girl card that makes squirrel tokens that I can jam into my Chatterfang deck. Squirrel Girl is my favorite superhero and I just want her on a card so, so badly.

I think it would be cool to have a Mjolnir equipment that in addition to its other effects also has a bit of trinket text along the lines of "equipped creature is a God in addition to its other types."

Thor and Loki and any other Asgardian that represents an actual god should have the creature type God. It already exists. Like sure, we could make Asgardian a creature type if we wanted to, but that's the coward's route.

I saw someone make a comment on Reddit about adding Hero and Villain as creature types, but I really, really hope that doesn't happen. It runs the risk of making the creature types in the set super repetitive, and we're already gonna see a lot of that from the sheer number of human characters. Sure, we'll have some mutants and aliens and robots to occasionally break things up, but it'll be much worse if the class types among cards aren't varied.

Like seriously, let's use the movie Avengers lineup. What's better...having four Human Hero cards, a God Hero, and whatever we do with the Hulk...or a Human Soldier, Human Scientist, Human Archer, Human Rogue, God Warrior, and whatever we do with the Hulk

Yeah, actually...what are we gonna do with the Hulk and related characters? In a vacuum, I would probably type the Hulk as Mutant Berserker...but for IP reasons I wouldn't be surprised if the Mutant creature type is reserved solely for characters with the X-Gene. I don't have an answer for this, just wondering...

Oh, and since I mentioned the MCU, I do want to say one thing, if they're smart they'll base the sets on the comics and not the MCU. Gives them a lot more material and characters to pull from

Booster fun treatment should lean into this and be comic book themed, but I think they would also be smart to offer some Secret Lair drops featuring alt art versions of the characters based on the MCU...if they're willing to deal with the likeness rights and whatnot.

Multiple tentpole releases does mean multiple commander precons. Some themes I could easily see them basing decks on: the Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man/Spider-Verse, Guardians of the Galaxy+other space themed characters, a deck for a bunch of the more mystical Marvel characters probably led by Dr. Strange, S.H.I.E.L.D., A.I.M., Villains in general (from my memory Marvel doesn't really have a singular Legion of Doom type team up of its iconic villains, but I'm definitely picturing a Villains deck that tosses a bunch of iconic villains together in one deck...you could call it the Masters of Evil as a deep cut though.)

If Gambit gets a card, he should have an ability that lets you discard cards to deal damage to a target to represent Gambit throwing cards at his enemies. (This is the kind of wink at the camera stuff I love in UB products.)

Koi Boy should get a card purely because he's a canon trans man and Magic really needs some trans masc representation.

Stephen Strange Meta-Fic Sequel Chapter 4: Old Friends, New Friends

WHOO! Continuing the show! Say hello to our universe’s Thor, everyone! TRIGGER WARNING: Language

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*The smoke keeps getting worse all around us. The smell is an assault on our senses and lungs, but we still linger by the opened doors of the SUV as we watch the Avengers assess the situation. Ant-Man leans over to say something to Stephen, and it is impossible to miss how suddenly all the heroes turn to look in our direction.*

PrettyWitch (excitedly noticing Ant-Man): It’s Scott! He brought Scott Lang with him, too!

Me (high on adrenaline):  WHOO!  AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! 

Trix: HEY STEPHEN! IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ACTUALLY LOOKED AT YOUR PHONE!  *Flails at Stephen wildly because she is happy that finally something seems to be going right.*

*For a second, Stephen looks relieved, but his expression soon turns serious again as he turns back to talk to his teammates. Captain America nods before visibly taking over, right hand shooting to point in different directions as he gives indications to the others. With amazing synchronicity, the Avengers split into action, underscored by the surprisingly familiar whine of Iron Man’s repulsors boosting him into the sky.*

*Stephen dashes across the sidewalk and front yard toward us, well aware that time is of the essence.*

Trix (relieved as she sees Stephen coming towards us): Oh, thank god!

Tear: Stephen!

*I look like I want to hug him right there on the spot, but stay focused on the issue at hand.*

Stephen (quickly checking on us):  Okay.  You’re all in one piece.  Good.  We have some things to discuss after the team and I get this mess cleaned up.  You girls head to the high school parking lot a few blocks west of here to get a safe distance from the fire.  Captain America and Spider-Man are helping other civilians out of this area and if you four could help keep an eye on them, it would be incredibly helpful.

*I salute with a morbid smirk*  

Me (dutiful):  Yes, Sir! 

Tony (to Stephen’s earpiece): Hey, Doc, can we save the tearful reunions for later? I’ve got my sights on your burning chicken. How do I extinguish it? I need your go, no go.

*Stephen gives us a nod goodbye before turning to look up at the skies. Levi flies him back over to the blaze.* 

Stephen (replying through the earpiece): I’ll contain the bird.  You blast some firebreaks to stop the spread of the flames.

Tony (through their comms): You always get the fun assignments… FRIDAY, disengage. Let’s keep that fire from reaching the houses.

*The moment Stephen leaves, we all clamber into the car. I get all of us to the high school parking lot to help anyone who gets rounded up over here by Steve and Peter.*

*Captain America starts directing civilians to the evacuation route, watching for anyone who may need additional help.  He keeps things orderly and running efficiently to ensure everybody gets out safely.*

*Meanwhile, Spider-Man and Ant-Man run back to inspect every house to ensure all the civilians have evacuated. Their abilities come in handy to navigate the more difficult spots to reach the people who got trapped or were otherwise unable to leave their homes on such short notice.*

*High up in the sky, Stephen finally encases the phoenix in some sort of transparent, crystalline bubble. With the threat contained and unable to spread more flames, he conjures a heavy rainstorm that helps put out the fire.  It takes a couple of minutes, but his magic soon extinguishes the roaring blaze until not even a spark is left. Mercifully, the Avengers managed to stop the fire from burning down the neighborhood.*

*After the fire is extinguished, the Avengers regroup to check on the civilians and us in the high school parking lot.  A few children notice Spider-Man and start pointing and getting excited.*

Kid (ecstatic):  Mom!  MOM!  Spider-Man came to save us!  LOOK!

*Other kids flock over to their other favorite heroes.  Tony finds himself swarmed by a small mob of boys and girls, and he quickly lets his helmet dissolve back into his armor.  Some of the parents get protective and refuse to let their kids near the strangely-dressed people.*

*Some of the adults are highly confused.  A few don’t really seem to care anymore.  Most are stunned and questioning how much more weirdness is going to happen.  There’s a lot of tension.  It’s clear that most people have mixed emotions and either don’t want to believe it or are scared of something even worse coming by.*

Steve (trying to diffuse the tension):  All right, ladies and gentlemen.  The fire has been extinguished.  As soon as we know that everything is safe, we’ll let you all go back to your homes.  Thank you for being cooperative.

*The teens seem to just be recording everything they possibly can with their phones and trying to get closer without seeming to be too lame.*

*Our little group has been making sure everyone stays put while the heroes manage the fire.  We’re covered in ash and look thinner than when we last saw Stephen.  Also, we appear to be beyond exhausted, as though something far more dire has been happening.  It’s clear that none of us have really gotten much rest for a long time.  Stephen takes care to land out of view of the other civilians to avoid spooking them further and walks over to us.*

Stephen (concerned, but keeping his voice down so only we can hear him):  I’m sorry we didn’t arrive sooner.  What else happened here?  You need to tell us everything so we can figure out a plan before this situation turns more catastrophic.

Trix: Hell. Hell happened. *still slightly delirious from aching migraine and smoke* Hi Stephen! *her eyes are trying to focus but after everything else today she is close to shutting down*

Tear: They’ve been a tough couple of months… *I avoid Stephen’s gaze to instead send Trix a worried look, ready to help if her condition worsened. Her nerves had been shot since our encounter with the Chupacabra, and this surprise fire had pushed us all to our limits. In fact, Steward’s and PrettyWitch’s problems had only worsened in the previous weeks as well, so I had been stretching myself thin to take care of everyone as much as I could. Being the only one not suffering of any magical changes left me feeling slightly guilty and responsible for the others’ wellbeing.*

Me (the adrenaline high is still there, but rapidly fading):  *Speaking rapidly and barely taking a breath between words*  Trix can understand and speak every language now, PrettyWitch is having visions, I keep seeing ghosts, all sorts of cryptids and monsters are coming out of the woodwork, and THIS ONE WON’T LEAVE ME ALONE!  *Practically shrieking the last part as I point a shaking finger at the clingy ghost from earlier, my eyes wide and almost manic.  I seem about ready to collapse.  Meanwhile, Stephen can see the man’s ghost look at me and then right back at him before giving a casual wave “hi”.*

PrettyWitch: I knew it! I knew something was up with you.

*Around a dozen other people turn to give me a scared look after they hear my manic shrieking rant.  Thankfully, Ant-Man has returned and gives Captain America a “thumbs-up” to indicate that the neighborhood is safe.  Steve quickly gives the “all clear” signal to the civilians and starts gently ushering people back to their homes.  When everybody else leaves, he motions for Tony, Peter, and Scott to wait where they are before he rejoins us.*

Steve (calmly, to avoid triggering us further):  It seems like all of you have had a very rough time.  Would you girls care to fill us in on everything back at one of your homes?  We want to be able to help you as best we can.

*While Captain America does his thing and then speaks to us, I take a few deep, slow breaths to compose myself.  Though I then have a rather nasty coughing fit due to the smoke.  I’m calm again afterwards, at least.  The adrenaline has worn off and my limbs all feel like they’re made of wet cement.*

Me:  Okay…Lemme get us to my place again since my car has all of our stuff in it.  *I go over to open the doors so we can get back in, my frame sagging slightly from fatigue.*

Stephen (worried):  Are you sure you’re okay to drive?  

Me:  Gotta get this thing there somehow.  You guys have already helped a lot with the fire.  *I’m back to my stubborn self, trying to keep the facade despite exhaustion overwhelming my mind and body.  I ache in places that I’ve never even felt before.*

Trix: *finally starting to break* Just humor him. Cars are a sensitive subject plus you could have an Avenger driving your car…And we can have our nervous breakdowns in the back. *slumps down to the ground and sprawls out on her back*

*I blink slowly, my brain beginning to stop working.*

Me (slurring slightly):  Mm’kay…*I stare at Trix, seemingly bewildered by what just happened.  My body wants to give out, but I still just stand there, looking almost like a confused drunk as I hold the keys.*

Tear: *I stare down at Trix, and my quiet guilt and worry twinge in my chest. I turn to Steward and hold my hand out in offer* Here, I’ll drive the car back. You guys can all portal back, and Steve can help Trix through. The faster Stephen can start helping you guys, the better.

Scott: Actually…(Scott holds his hand out.) I think I better drive, you look like you need a breather, too.

*After I’ve fully processed Tear and Ant-Man’s words, I numbly pass him the car keys.  Steve carefully helps Trix up, and Stephen portals our group to my house to wait for Scott to arrive with my car. I emerge from the portal, shaking even worse than ever as I check my house.  Thankfully, since my property is surrounded by brick walls, the worst damage it got was some singeing on the plants in the garden and ash accumulated all over the property.  I look relieved about the status of my home and almost like I’m about to burst into tears, but suppress it.  Clearly, there’s more to the story than I let on.  My friends look at me, knowingly.*

*When Scott arrives, Steve and Peter help unload the stuff we took from the house. Once inside my home, I’m about to pass out, but am actively fighting it, knowing we need to fill the heroes in. Stephen conjures the group some nice herbal tea with a little honey.  The other heroes also get more comfortable now that they are away from prying eyes. Tony taps his nanobot armor back into his storage unit, and he’s standing casually in a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. Peter retracts his mask but keeps his suit on for now, as do Steve and Scott with their helmets. The shock has fully worn off and I stumble over to my chair in the living room.*

Me (slurring):  I’mjussgonsitdownforamo—*I practically fall face-first onto the chair and am unconscious in seconds, having finally passed out from the strain of everything.*

*Steve goes over and carefully shakes my shoulder, concerned.  I stir back to life, albeit in very bad shape.  I watch the group silently and weakly accept the tea as we get ready to debrief the Avengers.*

Steve (gently):  Okay, now let’s go through what happened between the time that Stephen went back home and just now.  Can you ladies tell us everything?  We need to know all of the details besides what was in the text messages so we know more about what we’re dealing with.

*We explain the events leading up to this moment with as much detail as possible.  Though some moments are incredibly rough to relive.  So, we occasionally take turns speaking for one another or help by comforting each other through it.  The Avengers listen patiently, asking a few questions for clarification.

*When we get to the part about the internet and cell service being taken out, Tony seems to perk up attentively and he lifts a hand as if to physically halt our explanation.*

Tony: Yes, I couldn’t help but notice that cell signal was down, but there’s no internet service either. You guys don’t have a universal internet service set up in satellites? You can’t be telling me this Mothman creature of yours can go to space, too.

*Peter turns to squint up at him, most probably weirded out by his theory.*

Peter: Mothman can’t go to space. He’s half moth, half man. It’s in the name! *He turns his confused stare to Stephen* Right?

*Tony breathes in deeply and closes his eyes, seemingly asking for patience.*

Me:  Unfortunately, no satellite internet or cell service.  There was an attempt, but it was run by an incompetent businessman who used shoddy equipment and ran out of funding less than a couple hundred satellites in.  Now, they’re just borderline space junk floating up there.  We’re stuck with antennas peppered throughout the countryside and cities for cell service.  Internet-wise; cables, modems, and short-range wifi.  Something took out the undersea cables and it brought down everything.

Trix: At this point, I don’t even think we want to know what could have possibly taken it out.

Me:  From what we know, there ARE megalodons back from extinction and sharks do like chewing on cables because of the electric signals going through them.  Attracts them because it’s similar to the electrical signals they detect from prey.  So, that’s my personal theory.

Peter: Wait, like dinosaurs? *His excitement soon turns to a stubborn frown before he turns to Stephen again* You said their Jurassic Park movies had been fake. What gives?

Tony: *He puts a kind hand on Peter’s shoulder* Gotta try to focus, kid, remember?

Me:  For now, it just seems like a few extinct species that had persistent rumors about them still being alive.  Conspiracy theories people believed in.  It was to the point they were basically cryptids by being “secret pockets” of supposedly extinct animals.  So, thylacines, megalodon, and possibly megalania.  People HAVE been disappearing more in the Australian bush lately.  If it was by a giant, extinct monitor lizard, at this point we wouldn’t be surprised.

Tony: *His attention zeroes in on Steward again, attention piqued* So you’re saying that what people believe in is becoming reality. Could bring us some serious trouble, but it could also give us an advantage to stay on top of things. *He gives Steve a pointed stare*

*Steve looks back at Tony, both pondering something and trying to figure out if Tony is sassing him again somehow.*

Me:  *Nods*  That’s what it looks like.  There have been news stories about various creatures and beings from urban legends, conspiracy theories, AND our mythologies coming to life.  Not to mention figures from our current religions.  If this is truly the case, you guys can look through my library.  I have a section of mythology books, as well as a few on cryptids and our various theologies.  That could help us figure something out.  *I point at one of the many bookshelves in the house.*

Stephen:  I’ll take a look and see if we can compare our various pantheons and beliefs.  That way, we have some usable reference points.  

*The sorcerer grabs a few of the books.  Steve organizes them on the table so the Avengers can all start checking things out. Tony quickly steps forward and takes out a pair of sunglasses from one of his jeans’ pockets.*

Tony: Yeah, I’m not spending hours turning book pages. But you’re welcome to stay in the middle ages if you want to, Doc. FRIDAY? Be a darling and start scanning these. Then cross reference them with their counterparts in our universe. Peter, I need Spider Buddy. *He snaps his fingers in the universal way to ask for haste, but he looks rightfully chastised when all the Avengers flinch or wince at the action.* Sorry… *His voice drops to a mumble, and he quickly drops his hand.*

Peter: *He shakes himself of the unwanted memories and taps at the black spider on his chest.* His name is Spider-Bro…

*The spider pops out of his suit, revealing it to be a miniature drone. Peter places it on the table and Spider-Bro makes its way to the books Stephen has selected.*

*Stephen returns the “middle ages” remark with a small, venomous glare before stepping back.  He also cringes at the snap, but composes himself quickly.  Then, he looks at me for a second.  I’m about to pass out again, looking exhausted to the point of illness.*

Stephen (concerned):  One more thing and then you can rest.  I remember your collection of occult books.  Are they still in your room?  Those could be dangerous.

*I nod weakly.*

Me (mumbling at this point):  Yeth…Be careful.  Also, stay away from my crystal collection.  They were close to the demonology books and have become…well…“Strange”.  

*I laugh almost drunkenly at the last sentence before flopping back limply in my chair, finally out cold.  The last dregs of my energy are completely gone.  The former surgeon sighs deeply, checks my vitals, and makes a satisfied noise.  Then, he goes to get the occult books.*

Tear: *I sigh and get up from the couch* I better take her upstairs to rest before she gets a crick in the neck. Trix, how are you holding up? Maybe you should rest too.

Trix: *is basically flopped over an armchair and is still barely awake but gives a weak thumbs up without looking*

Steve (walking over):  I’ll do it.  You need rest too, Miss.  You all should take some time to recover.  

Tear: *I give him a small smile, but I’m not really convinced by him* What I need is a shower. I can’t believe I’m standing covered in soot in front of freaking Captain America.

PrettyWitch: Oh, you look fine!

Steve:  It’s all right.  You’re still just as brave and pretty.  *He gives Tear a kind smile.*  Though seriously.  I see that you do a lot to help everyone.  We all respect that and it’s often a thankless task.  So, please rest for now.  It’s been a long time and you don’t have to worry as much about your friends now, all right?  We’ve got your backs.  Go ahead and get yourself situated and then get some sleep.  We’ll still be here when you all wake up.  *He reassures Tear.*

Tear: *I shake my head and rub my hand down my face, smearing the soot even further* It’s not… I don’t care about any of that, they are my friends. And lately I’ve been the only one still standing by the end of the day. *I motion around at the living room, where the others are nearly slumbering where they sit* You can’t just turn that off like a switch. If I don’t take care of them, then… *I throw my hands up, annoyed by the lump in my throat cutting all of my ideas off. It’s pretty obvious we are the only ones in the house, so it is safe to assume we’ve been doing this on our own for a while now*

Steve (gently placing a comforting hand on her shoulder):  All the more reason to take care of yourself too, Miss.  They need you and if you run yourself ragged, then you won’t be able to help anyone.  You’re important to the team.  We’ll be here for as long as you all need us too.  I know it has been a lot and I can’t imagine how terrible those experiences were for you and your friends.  So, that’s why we’re here to help.  *He hopes that Tear will accept this offer of comfort and aid.*

Tear: *I stubbornly hold Steve’s gaze for a moment before giving in with a sigh. It’s foolish to engage in a battle of wills with freaking Captain America. Besides, I’m not about to admit to him that the lack of magical exhaustion means it is harder for me to actually fall asleep without nightmares and unpleasant memories. I turn to look back at the other Avengers, hoping that at least one of them would offer a different option.*

Tony: *He puts his hands up quickly, staying out of the argument* Don’t look at me. I’m only here as a babysitter. To him. *He points over to Peter*

Peter: *He lowers Tony’s hand, flustered* No, he’s not because I don’t need a babysitter. Anyway, I wouldn’t listen to him. His lab binges are not all fictional, I promise.

Tony: Hey! Who’s the adult here?

Stephen (sarcastic):  Clearly neither of you…

Tony: *He flinches, startled by Stephen’s sudden reappearance* Jesus…! Stop doing that!

Scott: (Smirks) Maybe you need a beeper, Stark. I think Hank’s still got some lying around.

Tony: Yeah? How about we tie a bell around Stephen’s neck instead?

Tear: *I chuckle, finally feeling that knot loosening in my throat* Alright. You win. Let’s at least get them comfortable first though. *I motion and my friends as I stare up at Steve expectantly, hoping the compromise is good enough for him*

Steve (small smile):  Deal.  *He picks me up and carries me upstairs to rest in my room.*

Peter: I can help too. If…that’s alright with you, of course. *He approaches Prettywitch and offers his elbow to her*

PrettyWitch: Awe! Thank you, sweetie! (I take his elbow and he helps me upstairs.)

*Trix is already unconscious and the Cloak floats over to carry her to the guest bedroom gently.*

*Stephen comes over and looks at Tear.*

Stephen:  …Would you like me to cast the Mists of Morpheus?  It will help you get a restful sleep without nightmares.  *He gives her a knowing glance, as though he can see the evidence of her terrible dreams in plain sight.*

Tear: *My eyes suddenly sting with the urge to cry, but I quickly compose myself with a hard blink and give Stephen a warm smile* I remember that spell. Thank you, Stephen.

*He returns the smile and lets Tear clean herself up and get comfortable before casting the spell so she can rest peacefully.*

*While the Avengers run the comparison of mythological entities and start to strategize, there’s a heavy knock at the door.  It practically shakes the frame.  Mercifully, the group of women are far too exhausted to respond at all.  So, Scott goes to answer.  When he opens the door, he’s greeted by an imposing, red-haired mountain of a man who practically takes up the entire doorway.  The man has shoulder-length hair, a scraggly beard, Old Norse tattoos, and a sizable gut.  Also, he wears a thick, leather belt with a loop that holds a rather familiar-looking hammer.  Not to mention the scrappy bits of leather armor over his clothes.  Despite the gut, one could tell that the man is quite muscular and his demeanor shows that he is confident in his power.  He has a stern, but inquisitive look on his face at the moment.*

Man:  May I enter?  I have several questions about what has recently occurred here and this house gives a strange energy.  

*He has a thick, Norse accent.*

Scott: (Looks him up and down.) Well, that depends…who are you? You look familiar- (Once he closely inspects the tattoo, he recognizes it to be Norse from some books he’d read to Cassie.) Wait…you’re not Asgardian, are you?

*The man studies Scott for a moment before he decides to speak.*

Man:  I am from Asgard, yes.  I am Thor Odinsson, God of Thunder, Killer of the Jotnar, Defender of Asgard, and Protector of Midgard.  Which one of you conjured that peculiar storm?  *He peers over Scott’s head into the living room where the other Avengers are.*

Scott: (He’s still confused by this, especially since this Thor looks nothing like the one he knows and…well, you can never be too careful. Plus, they’ve got the girls to think about.) Huh…?  That’s a good question. I’m gonna go consult someone first. Just… (He holds his finger up to Thor.) hold that thought. (He turns his head to his team.) Hey, guys? This guy’s claiming to be Thor. Should we let him in or not? 

Tony: Um…? Abso-fucking-lutely not? How can a guy claim to be Thor yet not be recognized by you? We just barged into this universe and now he just coincidentally knocks on our door? *His hand hovers nervously over his storage unit, ready to suit up at the very hint of an ambush*

Steve:  Does the data show anything about their Thor?

Stephen:  *Looking at the data and one of the Norse mythology books quickly and then back at the mountain of a man standing in the doorway behind Scott.*  …It appears to be him, yes.  We should probably let him in.  *He shifts slightly with a slightly nervous look.  Thor, in the meantime raises an eyebrow and is beginning to look irritated.*

Thor (getting impatient):  Well?

Scott: Yup. You’re cool. Come on in. I’m Scott Lang, by the way. (Holds out his hand for Thor to shake it.)

*Thor seems slightly suspicious of the entire group, but goes ahead and shakes Scott’s hand.  Though his hand practically envelops Scott’s and even while holding back considerably, his handshake gives Scott’s entire body a decent shake.  There’s a slight sort of staticy feeling while touching the god’s hand as well.  Like the deity’s entire body is practically buzzing with energy.  Thor enters the house, looking around carefully.  He has to duck slightly to get in.*

Scott: (He’s a little out of it once the handshake ends, but he goes to talk to Thor.) Boy, you got…one hell of a handshake.

*Thor chuckles, amused.*

Thor:  You people say that a lot.  It’s funny.  *He grins for a moment before homing in on the other Avengers.* Who are you?  It seems you mortals are not from this realm, nor are you from any of the others on Yggdrasill.  *It appears that deities here can sense whether or not other entities are from their designated universe.*

Stephen:  *Treading carefully, but being direct*  I’m Doctor Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-616.  You’re right about us not being from this universe.  There was an accident involving your realm and ours.  So, we, the Avengers, came here to help fix the problem.

Steve (respectfully, but cautious):  I’m Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America.  I’m part of this team.  

Peter: *He eagerly lifts a hand, staring at Thor in awe* I’m Spider-Man.

*Tony rolls his eyes at Peter but makes no effort to introduce himself. He stands close to Peter, stance wide and arms crossed over his chest with a defensive aura.*

Thor (politely):  Well met, Sorcerer Supreme, Captain America, and Spider-Man.  *Though he gives Tony an annoyed glare for his perceived rudeness before looking back at Scott.*  What is your part in this, Scott Lang?  Do you have any other titles? 

Scott: Well, unless you count World’s Greatest Grandma, no.

*Thor looks confused for a bit, the joke going right over his head.*

Thor:  …More to the point, I shall ask once more:  Who amongst you conjured that storm?  That is typically my job.

Stephen (stepping forward):  I did.  The fire was magical in origin and spreading quickly.  So, I had to act fast.  

*Thor scowls at him, looking both suspicious and a bit annoyed.*

Thor:  I suppose you did what needed to be done, but mind your place, sorcerer.  

Stephen:  You’re not the only storm god here, Thor.  We all know that.  We aren’t here to usurp you.  We’re here to help our friends.  *He says icily.*

*Thor gives him a look, clearly seething, but holding himself back for now.*

Steve (calmly):  Thor, we understand that your position is important.  We’re only doing this mission to help Stephen’s friends.  They helped him while he was stranded here 6 months ago and now he’s returning the favor.  It’s the honorable thing to do, right?  

*The deity huffs and nods reluctantly.*

Thor:  Indeed.  I am not comfortable with such different brands of magic and illusions, but provided your sorcerer companion and the rest of these mortals do not use such powers to endanger my realm further, I suppose I can allow this to slide.

Steve (polite):  Thank you.  

*Thor notices some of the futuristic tech being used by the Avengers.*

Thor:  What are these things?  *He walks over to check everything out.  Intrigued by the fact that it has bright lights coming from it, he goes to pick up FRIDAY’s scanner.*

Tony: Hey hey hey hey! *He quickly swoops in to stand in-between Thor and the table where his glasses and Spider-Bro lie. He hovers a hand over his storage unit again while he holds the other in front of him, establishing distance between him and this strange Thor* You touch my toys and I won’t hesitate to blast you to the opposite side of town. You don’t see me getting all grabby with your hammer. *Tony has seen first hand how destructive his Thor can be whenever he fails to restrain his strength. He is not risking FRIDAY or Peter’s little buddy for this unknown version of his friend.*

*Thor glares down at Tony, towering over the other man.  Scott thankfully breaks the tension by quickly stepping in and explaining what the device is to Thor before the god can lose his temper.*

Scott: Oh, that’s Tony’s robot AI, FRIDAY. It scans for things and processes data. Helps him find what he’s looking for faster.

Thor (confused):  Robot…AI…?  *Scott has already lost him on multiple points.*  What in the Nine Realms are you babbling about?

Tony: Nothing you must concern yourself with, that’s for sure. *His posture remains tense, not at all intimidated by their impressive size difference. He has trained with his Thor for years, and he improved his armor even more after they managed to defeat Thanos. He’s confident he can give as good as he gets*

*Peter inches closer to Tony to help Scott create more of a barrier between the two of them. He has a friendly enough smile on his face, but his own posture is a bit defensive as well. He might be even smaller than Tony, but he won’t hesitate to use his enhanced strength to protect his mentor.*

Peter: It’s just Midgardian technology, albeit slightly more advanced than what you can currently find in the market. But we won’t bore you with the details. I’d much prefer to hear about you! You’re by far my favorite Asgardian god. Is that really Mjolnir with you? Can it really tell who is worthy of wielding it?

*Thor is displeased at first.  He definitely doesn’t seem to like Tony very much.  However, he listens to Scott and Peter.  He smirks at the teenager as he starts to flatter him.*

Thor (his lip slightly curled):  Your favorite, eh?  Heh.  Yes, boy.  This is indeed Mjolnir.  *He pats the hammer at his side, heartily.*  Worthy of wielding it?  HA!  There is no test for worthiness, Spider-Man.  Only strength and magic.  My enchanted belt and gloves enable me to wield Mjolnir as easily as you please.  They are but tools for a warrior.  *He says simply.*

Peter: What? That’s so cool! *His eyes grow brighter with genuine awe*

*Tony rubs his eyes tiredly with his left hand behind Peter’s back, mentally berating the teenager for socializing with strangers so eagerly, definitely not jealous or keeping track of Peter’s faves as if it was a competition. Definitely.*

Steve (polite):  It was an honor meeting with you, Thor.  However, it’s getting late.  *He’s hoping that Thor will take the hint.*

Thor:  Eh?  So soon?

Steve:  We’ll still be around for a while, but it’s been a long day with plenty of action.  

Thor:  OH!  Yes.  You should rest, mortals.  I occasionally forget how much extra care you must take of yourselves.  I shall take leave of you for now.  Good night!  *He evidently lacks an indoor voice, but gives them a wave and lets himself out.  They see him climb into a chariot with 2 huge goats hitched to it and with a holler and quick snap of their reins, he’s off into the night sky.*

*The Avengers heave a collective sigh of relief when Thor is finally gone.*

Tony: Tell me I didn’t hallucinate those horse-sized goats…

Stephen (matter-of-factly):  You did not.  *He’s still staring out the door as well, processing everything that just happened.*

Tony: *He groans and runs his fingers through his short hair* I hate universe travel… *He turns and walks back to the table where all their research is. He slips his glasses back on* Fri? Any progress yet? How are we doing?

FRIDAY: Spider-Bro is handling all the remaining scanning. I am 53% done analyzing the information, but so far I’ve encountered 175 matches between our universes.

Tony: Oh joy.

Peter: *Turns to Stephen* Is everything else in this world going to be slightly off like Thor? 

Stephen:  Pretty much, yes.  Even down to their song lyrics.

Peter: *He scrunches his nose, suddenly weirded out by that of all things* Really? That’s going to be so weird. I’ll be waiting for the song to say something, and then it will…what, mess up its rhythm?

Stephen:  It’s subtle most of the time.  Either the lyrics, key, or time signature will differ.  Maybe all three.  Though you can still recognize the song itself.

Scott: Really…? (He starts to wonder how the “La Cucharacha” song differs between his world and theirs.) 

Steve:  Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen, but we should probably attempt to get some rest ourselves, provided we can place some strategic surveillance to ensure our safety.  Judging by the past few hours, we’re going to need all of the energy we can get if we plan on helping these people.

Stephen:  I’ll cast some protective and security wards around the property.  *He nods and goes off to do just that.*

Tony: *He removes his glasses and once more rubs at his tired eyes* Yeah, that’s not really gonna help me sleep so peacefully tonight. I’ll head out too and drop a few sentry drones around the perimeter. They should warn me if there’s anything odd going on. Spikes of energies or temperature…How did my life become a ghost hunting gig?

Peter: I’ll come with you!

Tony: *Points a finger straight at Peter’s nose, almost touching him* Nope, you’re staying with Cap and doing exactly as he tells you to. Also, *He hands Peter his glasses, acting nonchalant regardless of how huge that show of trust is* keep Friday company. Your little spider should be done scanning the last books soon.

Peter: *He looks down at the glasses with wide eyes. His mouth has dropped open, and he can barely react when Tony pats his shoulder and exits the house* Yeah, yes! Don’t worry, Mr. Stark! I’ll make sure everything is ready!

*After the Avengers set up camp in my living room, they rest for the night.  Around 9 or 10 in the morning, the women finally begin to show signs of life again.  PrettyWitch wakes up to the Cloak of Levitation gently snuggled on top of her like a sentient blanket.*

PrettyWitch: Wait…Wha…? (Sees the Cloak snuggled atop her and goes starry-eyed.)

*The Cloak notices and, seeing PrettyWitch is awake, waits till she sits up before placing itself atop her shoulders.  Its collar lightly brushes her face to let her know that it’s okay.*

*I’m the next to stir and wake up.  Things are still aching quite a bit and I’m hungry.  So, I try to remember what happened last evening as I get dressed.  I recall that my friends are here.  Also, the Avengers?  Yeah.  I think so.  After the fire, everything was a blur.  I head downstairs once I have some acceptable clothing on and look around, noticing the Avengers camped out in my living room.  Some are awake already and others are still either asleep or in the process of waking up.  I wave awkwardly.*

Me:  Good morning…?  *Slightly shy and anxious smile.*

*Stephen returns the greeting with a small, awkward wave of his own.*

Steve:  Good morning, Steward.  I hope that you slept well.  Two of your friends are awake and in the breakfast nook if you want to join them.

*I nod politely at him and head through the hallway.  I see Trix and PrettyWitch awake in the breakfast nook just as Captain America said.*

Me:  Hey, guys…You feeling okay?  Yesterday was one hell of a day.

Trix: I think I finally know what being drunk is like. But more painful. *rests head in hands*

*The Cloak of Levitation goes over from PrettyWitch to gently massage Trix’s shoulders.*

Trix: *begins to grin but with a slight wince* Cloak! You’re okay! We missed you!!! Thank you so much!

PrettyWitch: I know! Right!? It’s a miracle!

*I notice the Cloak soothing Trix.*

Me:  Whoa!  Hi, Levi!  It’s nice to see you again.  I’m glad you’re better!  *I smile at it.  It swoops over and hugs me gently.  I pat it affectionately.*

Me:  …I’ll make us all some coffee and tea.  I think we’ll need it.  Ow.  You have a headache too huh, Trix?  Ergh…The aspirin’s in the medicine cabinet.

Trix: Honestly, I haven’t stopped having one since before The Incident. *makes a face and gestures mimicking the Chupacabra we faced before*

Me:  Eugh…I’m sorry.  If you want an ice pack, check the freezer.

Trix: I’ve been trying to take my migraine medicine but nothing helps anymore. Stupid google translate brain. 

Me:  *I shake my head empathetically.*  Still got my clinger.  *Points behind me to seemingly nothing, indicating that the ghost is still there.*

PrettyWitch: I don’t think I had any visions the other night. I even read my fortune for today and so far, things seem okay.

Me:  That’s good, at least.  No news is good news as far as that’s concerned, I think.

*I go to put the kettle on for tea and then turn on the coffee machine to brew a full pot for anyone who wants it.*

*Stephen walks in to check on us since we’re awake and talking amongst ourselves.  He peers at us and his eyes drift to the ghost.  It seems he sees it.  The sorcerer then approaches the trio of women as the Cloak goes back onto his shoulders.*

Stephen:  I’m going to check each of you, all right?  It won’t hurt.  I just need to know all of the symptoms and effects that your bodies are going through.  Trix, you seem the worst for wear at the moment.  Come here.

Trix: *gets up and hobbles over to Stephen* Give me freedom from this migraine or give me the sweet release of death and I’ll fill in the ghost role.

*He looks her over carefully and gently, checking her vitals and reflexes, asking her about her symptoms and when they first appeared.  He also asks about any discovered triggers and performs some diagnostic spells.  When he’s satisfied with the information, he lets her sit down.*

Stephen:  Okay…Like your friends, your inherent abilities are beginning to manifest.  This can cause a lot of mental and physical strain, not to mention you’re beginning to experience magical fatigue.  Sorcerers can sustain their abilities through ambient environmental energy, but it seriously limits their ability to continuously use magic.  Ideally, a sorcerer consumes foods that contain magical energy so they have reserves in their system to use for effective casting and to fuel inherent abilities.  As you adjust to your abilities, the pain should fade and only come back when you overexert yourself.  The same goes for the rest of you.  *He nods at us.*  

Trix: So how are we going to do that in our world?

Stephen:  Seeing as your world’s reality is shifting and magical energy is becoming active here, the ambient source isn’t the problem anymore.  Wong should be able to help you with the bit about magic-laced food.  He can teach you ladies what and how to harvest magical foods from other dimensions.  For now, the best thing for you should be introducing you to your first interdimensional food.  It’ll provide you with the correct energy, which will alleviate the pain.

Trix: *slightly hesitant* What kind of food?

Stephen:  Admittedly, it won’t be anything that you’re used to.  First, let me check on your friends and make sure they’re relatively okay.  Then, we’ll address the food issue.

*He checks PrettyWitch and me thoroughly before going to check on Tear since she hasn’t woken up yet.*

Stephen (concerned):  Tear, are you okay?  *He gently nudges her awake.*

Tear: *I startle awake, untangling myself from the bedsheets before my brain can come fully back online* I’m awake! What’s wrong?

Stephen:  Nothing.  I just wanted to make sure you were okay.  The others are already awake.  Do you mind if I give you a quick check-up?

Tear: The others are…? I slept in? *I brush back my tangled hair and look down at the time on my phone. It’s been weeks since the last time I had such a long and dreamless sleep* Wait, the others! Are they okay?

Stephen:  A bit.  It’s okay!  Really.  You needed the rest.  The world’s still in one piece and nobody’s hurt.  *He gives her a gentle smile.  The Cloak emerges from behind him and gently tousles her hair to reassure her.*

Tear: *I grin widely at the Cloak and reach out to do the equivalent of shaking hands with it* Hey! You’re okay!

*It shakes her hand and wriggles affirmatively.*

Tear: *I giggle and once more attempt to tame my hair. Now more awake, I make sense of what Stephen asked me earlier and shift over to sit up on the edge of the bed* You are welcome to do a check-up, although you don’t have to worry about me about wayward powers. Nothing has manifested for me at all, and I’ve certainly haven’t had any sort of unusual energy drain like the others. I think the universe just decided to skip me this time around. *I shrug nonchalantly*

*He carefully checks her the same way he looked the other ladies over earlier.*

Stephen:  You seem like you’ll be okay.  Yeah…Oddly, no signs of magical fatigue on you.  It might manifest later or not at all.  You can still learn sorcery regardless if you wish.  *He tells her this gently so that she knows she won’t be excluded.*  The others were affected, though.  I’m going to treat them for it in a few minutes.  Care to join us in the breakfast nook?  *He’s puzzled about her, but for now, he’s relieved that at least one of us isn’t in as bad a state.*

Tear: *I give him a small smile* Sure, breakfast sounds nice. Although I’m not sure Steward has enough to feed the others’ enhanced metabolisms… *I wince, looking to the general area where I know the other Avengers are still probably gathered*

Stephen (amused):  That’s where magic comes in handy.  *He smirks.*

Tear: Right. *My grin grows wider before I stand up and let Stephen return to the others. I make myself presentable again before going downstairs to the living area again*

Me (seeing Tear come over):  Good morning, Tear.

*The group looks slightly better than yesterday evening.  We’re all still rather worse for wear, but having a decent rest helped a bit.  Meanwhile Stephen opens a small portal and reaches through, grabbing…something…The bowl of…stuff…appears to be constantly moving and-is that an eyeball?  Whatever this is, it’s indescribable to us.  I’m trying to conceal my horror and be polite.  Though I’m definitely not pleased with this situation.*

Trix: I would like a refund please on this magic. I can’t even handle regular sushi.

Stephen:  I would if I could, ladies.  *He looks genuinely apologetic.*  Please, at least try it.  It should help reduce the pain and fatigue you’re experiencing.  

*He ensnares a small portion of whatever it is and puts it in a small bowl, passing it to Trix.*

Trix: *is actively trying not to look down at it* Can we, like, hide it in actual food like having a dog take a pill? *getting slightly desperate*

Stephen:  We can…Provided it doesn’t escape.  Let me see what I can do to make this easier…*He fiddles with it for a short moment.*

Trix: *turns to the others and mouths ‘escape?!’ with wide eyes while he’s working on it*

*I have a thousand-yard stare as I take slow, deep breaths to try and accept this calmly.*

*Stephen turns back around and it seems he has managed to make it at least resemble normal food…to an extent.  The color’s still a bit off.*  

Trix: *points at Stephen* The deal here is that you do not tell me what is in here and I will be the guinea pig.

Stephen:  Deal.  *He’s hoping this helps.*

Trix: *still trying not to look at it much* Welp, I did say freedom from migraine or death and this is the most literal interpretation of it. *eats the food as fast as possible without choking to try and not focus on what’s in it*

Me:  So…?  Erm…How was it?  *I’m morbidly curious*

Trix: *trying not to make a face* We need to workshop it, but dear god I think I might like migraines more 

PrettyWitch: (sighs) I should’ve known magic would work like it does in Jason Aaron’s run…

*I give Stephen a look of silent resignation.*

Me:  Okay…I’ll try it next.

*He gives me a serving.  I wolf it down quickly to try and avoid tasting it and then wash the rest down with my coffee as I shudder involuntarily from the experience.*

*PrettyWitch is the last one to try it.*

PrettyWitch: (Looks down at the bowl uneasy. Then she turns to Stephen.) Do I have to!? 

Stephen:  It’s the only way to fully get your energy back to normal levels since your abilities started manifesting.  If there was another way, we would have done it.  *He coaxes her.*

PrettyWitch: (Looks at the bowl again…and breathes a sigh of defeat.) Alright, you win, Strange. (I take a fork full and munch on it quickly. I’m practically trying not to gag as I feel it slither down my throat. Once I’m done, I see Stephen rolling his eyes. I pout.) What!? Don’t judge me! You probably had a similar reaction, too! 

Stephen (lip curled):  I did.  Though I quickly got used to it.  *He’s as stubborn as ever, but at least he shows that he cares about us.*

Prettywitch: Oh…(I look down at my hands in embarrassment.) Sorry…

Stephen:  It’s fine.  That was a natural reaction.  Though you did need the energy and will continue to need it.  I’m sorry, but unfortunately that’s part of the price of magic.

Prettywitch: (I nod my head.) Right.

Tear: *I smirk and lean back on a counter* I can’t say I envy you guys right now.

*After a few minutes of our systems starting to process whatever that…stuff…was, Trix does start to feel better.  I do have a little bit of energy back as well.  I’m not sure if it was the caffeine, that abomination Stephen called “food”, or a combination of both.  PrettyWitch also looks like she’s doing slightly better.*

Trix: I have to admit that it worked, but I would honestly rather face down the Chupacabra again.

Tony (watching in horror and disgust from the kitchen door): Strange, I hope you know you are hereby banned from the Compound’s shared kitchen. And any other kitchens in our private floors too, for good measure.

*Steve is just silently watching this unfold, too polite to speak about Stephen’s remedy, but also too disgusted to look away.*

Peter: It’s like watching a horror movie… *His voice has gone quiet in his horror*

Scott: Well, let’s just hope a chest burster doesn’t come out of one of them.

Trix: Just saying it now, we are officially braver than the Avengers because if I focus on everything going on lately, I’m gonna cry and laugh hysterically.

Me (morbid smirk):  Admittedly, each of us has had multiple nervous breakdowns these past 6 months.  I’m personally just trying not to think about it too much beyond helping to keep us safe since we can’t really control any of this.  One crisis at a time, y’know?  See problem, think of solution, fix, move along.  It’s all we’ve been able to do.

Stephen:  We’ll work on this together, ladies.  I promise.  *He tries to reassure us.  Deep down, Stephen feels immensely guilty about all of this.  Sure, it was an accident, but if he had just paid better attention during that initial fight that sent him on a trip through the multiverse, our reality wouldn’t be breaking down like this.*

Steve:  It’s our job, after all.  *He gives us a comforting look.*

Scott: Yeah. (He beats his hand to his chest.) We’re the Avengers.

Tony: *Flippantly waves a hand* After you’ve saved an entire universe, what’s adding one more copy of the Earth to the list?

Peter: Not that we wouldn’t try to save other planets in this universe if they needed help too.

Tony: Don’t push it, kid. I already have enough white hairs as is.

PrettyWitch: (She muffles her laughter, trying not to giggle at Tony babying Peter.)

Me (sincere):  We really appreciate your help, guys.  I don’t think any of us could have predicted this mess beforehand.  So, thank you in advance.  

Trix: Yeah, thank you all so much. After all of the nonsense going on the past few years at least our version of an apocalypse involves the multiverse and awesome superheroes. *tries to joke but after everything going on, even before Stephen got here the first time, it’s starting to take its toll*

*I gently rub Trix’s back when I see her starting to flash back to try and comfort her.*

Tear: We do appreciate it but…how are we even supposed to start? I know you all have done some brilliant achievements, but…Honestly? The world has never felt as big and overwhelming as it does now.

PrettyWitch: Any ideas?

Stephen:  …With everything going on here and the effects on you all, I think it might be wise to temporarily relocate your group to our universe for treatment and training.  We have better resources for dealing with these situations and a safer environment for you to learn.  That way, you four can learn how to protect and maintain yourselves at least.

Steve:  That makes sense.  Some of us can stay behind here to do damage control and repair or replace damaged infrastructure.  Tony, can you muster your automated tech and send some of it here to help?

Tony: *He gives a considering tilt of his head* It should be relatively simple. The work Peter, Bruce, Stephen, and I did should help me ensure our tech works in this universe. We’ll need a lot of political strategy though. Something tells me this Earth’s governments won’t be too happy when I shoot new satellites up to their atmosphere. Last thing we want is to trigger a nuclear war.

Scott: Yeah, they’re probably not gonna be happy about my tech either. Hell, Hank’s not gonna be happy, either.

Steve:  Tony and I will take a minute to plan this better while the four of you get packed.  So far, I’m going to stay here and do damage control.

Stephen:  I’ll let you ladies make your preparations.  Meet me in the backyard when you’re ready.  

Trix: *is trying not to visibly freak out in a good way* I take it back, the horrifying concoction is a worthy price to jump universes.

PrettyWitch: Fuck yeah it is!

Me:  Okay…Just one thing.  Tony, when the network here gets turned back on, could you let us know so we can talk to our families and make sure they’re all okay?

Tony: You got it, kid.

Me (grateful):  Thanks…We’ve all been worried sick.  On my end, my folks retired recently and were on a world tour.  I just hope they’re okay.  Last I heard from them, they were in Greece.  That was about a couple of weeks ago right before the internet and cell networks went down.

Steve:  We’ll do our best to make sure as many people are safe as possible, including your families.  *He reassures us.*

Trix: I’ll be right back then! I know we had our go-bags but now that we actually know where we’re going, kinda, I have a few more things I wanna bring! *stumbles slightly getting up because the mental and physical fatigue are still there, but she rights herself eventually and heads for the door to walk to her house*

Tear: I assume we won’t need much where we’re going, so I’m fine with what I had packed for emergencies. I do want to use the time to run over to the bakery and check on my family though. They might appreciate an update before I travel to a whole different universe…

PrettyWitch: Yeah…(Gets up.) I’m gonna go check on my parents, too. Lord knows, my mom’s probably having a panic attack right now so I should probably let her know I’m okay.

Stephen:  Hold on.  With the current situation and more mystical entities showing up here every 5 minutes, it’s not exactly safe to go out.  Here.  Let me help.  *He opens a portal to the bakery.*  Come back when you’re done.

Tear: Thank you, Stephen! We’ll be quick about it, promise.

Prettywitch: Stephen? Would you mind terribly if you opened a portal to my place, too? I just need to pack some things and…you know, let my folks know I’m going to another dimension for awhile.

Stephen:  Hm?  Okay.  Though I’ll need the most recent picture of it so I can open a portal there.  Maybe describe some of the finer details to me as well.  It’ll ensure the location’s accuracy.  I’ll transport you after Tear so that Scott can keep an eye on each of you.

PrettyWitch: Okay. Thank you. (She gives Stephen a quick peck on the cheek like last time.)

*Stephen turns slightly red.*

Scott: (He just stands there for a minute, surprised.) Wow! Wong wasn’t kidding when he said you have a fan club here.

*Stephen gives Scott a look, but keeps his mouth shut.  He’s still trying to keep up appearances.  Although he secretly appreciated the affection.  He had missed it.*

*Ant-Man goes with Tear and PrettyWitch to make sure they get to and from their locations safely.*

Me:  I’ll grab my suitcases.  Shouldn’t take long.

*Stephen nods and waits for us.  Meanwhile, the other Avengers talk strategy.*

Steve:  So, besides me, who else should stay here and who should leave with the girls?

Scott: I’m thinking I should head home. I could probably be of more help in our universe.   

Tony: As much as I’d rather swallow my teeth than say it, there’s nothing much that can be done here without someone knowledgeable in all of this bibbidy bobbidy boo. I sure as hell haven’t found a way to turn mice into horses yet.

Stephen (giving Tony a withering glare at the remark):  I need to at least see the girls off.  Once Wong has them with him, I’ll come back here and start working on the mystical side of the problem.

Tony: Perfect. *He claps his hands, completely unbothered by Stephen’s glare* Then that only leaves the whole politics and happy trigger fingers problem then.

Steve:  I’ll ask Bruce to forward the information about this situation to SHIELD and the office of Matt Murdoch.  Their liaisons and his legal prowess should help sort that out.  Tony, could you stay here with us and help out?  I have a feeling that this mess is far bigger than what two Avengers can handle.  Plus, you’re better with tech in case something needs troubleshooting.

Tony: I’m the best in tech. As if that was ever in question. *He sighs, not exactly pleased with the situation. He was well aware it was needed though, and he didn’t exactly have any other ideas* Alright, fine. I’ll play house with you. Peter, I’m going to need you back home then.

Peter: But Mr. Stark, I can help you here!

Tony: What, you think I’ll be sending you on a summer break? I need you to start working on those SI satellites, fix them up so that they can work here. I’ll be needing stuff from my private lab too, and you’re the only one with clearance to go in. Aside from Pepper and Rhodey, of course.

Peter: I– I am? *He stands straighter, face glowing at all the subtle praise he was getting. Tony merely lifts an eyebrow at him, and Peter quickly snaps back into business* I-I mean, of course. You can count on me, Mr. Stark. I won’t let you down.

Steve:  I suppose that settles it, then.  *He looks relieved that the discussion went fairly smoothly.*

*I make sure to hide my swords properly, put the family valuables in the fireproof safe, check the stove, etc.  After two or three checks to make sure that everything is okay and safe, I walk over to the backyard and sit on the bench out there, waiting for my friends.*

Trix: *walking back with a larger suitcase and is actively recording using a DSLR camera* I am ready!

Stephen (raising an eyebrow):  What’s with the video camera?

Trix: One, I went to school originally for broadcasting so it is in my blood at this point. Two, we are about to be the first people from our universe to go into a different one and we need to record it for posterity. Three, I have never gotten to do  ‘roadtrip’ with friends and this absolutely counts so I’m documenting it because it’s gonna be awesome.

*He shakes his head slightly, but lets it be.*

Trix: *slightly grinning* Come on Stephen, you know me enough by now. This rates low on the crazy scale. *she pauses recording and turns off the camera* But seriously, people are going to want to know what happened and even if people will call it fake, because they absolutely will, we should document this for a significant moment when our universe changed and we began to adapt as a species. *is actually getting serious for once*

Stephen:  That’s actually some sound reasoning.  All right.  Just turn it off and pack it somewhere else whenever we’re discussing anything confidential.

Trix: *salutes*

*PrettyWitch and Tear return with Scott, both fully packed.*

Me:  Looks like we’re ready.  We all good, guys?  Last chance before we leave.

Trix: Let’s get off this hellhole! I downloaded a training playlist and everything! *grinning* OH! *she digs in her pocket and pulls out her house keys and throws them at Steve* It occurs to me that you all don’t have ID’s or money that would be accepted here in our universe so you can crash at my place! Food is still stocked and everything and I do have a credit card stashed in my office when you need it!

Me:  My place is open too.  So, if one place runs out of supplies, just hop to the next one.

Tear: You will always be welcome at my bakery. I’ve already talked to my family. It goes without saying that you guys won’t have to pay for anything there.

PrettyWitch: Feel free to pop into my house, too; my mom could probably use some assurance I’m gonna be okay. Plus, my pup will love that he’s meeting new people.

Steve (grateful):  Thank you, girls.  Do your best and stay safe out there!  Tony, Stephen, and I will stay put to help keep a damper on the panic over here.  *He’s politely cheering us on.*

Tony: Free lodgings and free pastries. I could get used to camping out in this universe. *He pulls Peter in for a side hug before giving him a few encouraging pats on the back* You be good, Spiderling. And if I see a single screw out of place in my lab, you’ll be spending an entire week at DUM-E’s timeout corner.

Peter: *He darts in quickly to give Tony a short hug, and he’s already backing away to Stephen’s side before Tony can even complain* Take care, Mr. Stark! I’ll keep in touch.

Scott: We’ll keep in touch, too.

Stephen:  Okay.  If everyone’s ready, go through.  *He conjures a large portal and gestures for us to step through.*

Hello you 😌

I am okay, did some chores and hung some of the art stuff on the wall. How are you and what you do today?

Yes hahaha I'd rather listen to the other person anyways. I would act like I am still wide awake but then fail. 😅

I am stubborn. I never listen to people when they tell me to go to the doctor if I'm not feeling well.

No, I didn't go out today. I'll probably get the stuff for baking next week. Are you a dessert person or do you like savory stuff more?

Hahaha I do that Thor impression a lot. A few years ago, we were out at a restaurant and we decided to do some drinking and just have fun. So we had some shots, and it was so good, I think it was called something like gummi bears. But anyway, we took it and I almost threw the shot glass on the floor while yelling ANOTHER! 😅

Why did the banana go to the doctor? Because it wasn't peeling well 🤣🤣🤣

Do you buy girl scout cookies a lot? I like the samoas.

Yes haha I can go to the movies for free if I was invisible! But I would do that too, listen in on people. Then freak them out later by spilling the stuff they were talking about in secret haha.

I'd give up coffee. I love my snacks. Do you have any favorite snacks?

Would you rather be in the hanging out with the wizards and witches from Harry Potter or the vampires from Twilight?

- CuriousGeorge

Hello! I'm back! :D

I'm okay, just tired and a little moody / down, probably just because it's almost that time of the month. I dont know. but oh well..

Had a busy day today, took em to the park for quite a bit. We played catch while em ran around. I love playing catch although one time the baseball slipped out of my baseball gloves n hit my nose n it bled. lol. then after we got back from the park, i made dinner and clean the kitchen n dishes. Did some laundry. so not much different, same shit different day. lol.

oh thats nice, I actually love have pictures or arts on the wall of my house.

haha i dont remember if i ever talk all night n fell asleep. I always tell the person I talk to that im sleepy n need to hang up.

ough, you are that kind of stubborn person, huh? well, me too. lol. but sometimes i will get iritated when someone being like that, it's because i care n i got worried.

oh let me know if tomorrow you really gonna end up baking something. i wanna know. hahahaha. I like both, savory and sweet. depends on my mood. but mostly when I crave something when it's almost to my period time, I crave meat or something savory. I think when I'm drunk I also crave savory. but i love my desert too though. :D what about you?

oooh i know that shots. I love it! hahaha were you really drunk that u almost throw that shot glass? thats so funny.

hahaha not peeling well. that's so funny. i love corny or cheesy jokes. oh I got one! What do u call an angry carrot? a steamed veggie! lol

not really, but sometimes i buy those cookies. the chocolate mint girl scout cookies are so good n dangerous. it should be illegal. lol because once u eat it, u cant stop. samoa is the purple one? I never try it before. isnt it the one with peanut butter and oatmeal or something?

hahah thats a good plan if u hv invisibility. I didnt even think about it. lol.

I like snacks but i think i dont snacks often. I like pringles and original ruffles. or something chocolatey. I think i prefer to drink something cold n sweet for my "snack". Thats all i can think of the snacks i like. whats urs?

oh for chocolate chips cookie, do u like the soft one or the crispy one? for brownies, do u like the edge one or the middle one?

hmmm i would pick both if i can. lol. I like vampires but i think learning magic sounds more fun. what about u?

next question?

Cheerio!

[madasacrow]

AAAAAA its so cool that our ages line up w that!

I'm gonna try to be brief lol. Also hi this is a sideblog for my superhero paracosm aka where I dumped my old mcu paras.

The plot changed around a lot but the basic idea was that HYDRA somehow got DNA from the main 6 Avengers and made clones of them. For one reason or another, the clones escape and eventually wind up at SHIELD, where they're taken in and given semi normal lives. These are my original test tube babies 😭

The new plot (aka the one in this paracosm) is relatively the same, except instead of HYDRA its this organization called "Arcaynis" that does all sorts of weird experiments ... tbh even though I don't focus on them much now, they're still pretty paracosm-important/relevant bc goddamn does Arcaynis do a lot of fuckery. Fuck Arcaynis all my homies hate Arcaynis.

JORDAN STARK (THEY/THEM)

I actually still daydream about them fairly frequently! They're part of a different paracom now, but still have origins in Assembled Monsters.

Being a clone of Tony Stark/Iron Man, they don't really have powers. They're more of a "guy behind the chair" person yknow. But! They were usually the one to kickstart the clones escaping. Wait sometimes they had electricity and super speed. Idk why stop asking questions. The power of ✨imagination✨

Oh they have a prosthetic arm! Yeah Rex/Laz ripped it off when they were about 6ish. Fun times.

REX (HE/HIM) & LAZARUS BANNER (HE/HIM)

Clone of Bruce Banner/The Hulk ... idk how HYDRA managed to get the "two for one" deal, but they did! I always waffled on if they were the same person or were more like the Jekyll/Hyde situation that Bruce had.

Despite Tony being my favorite, Rex — and Laz, I guess — were usually the focus/main characters of the daydreams I had back then. By now they're basically AM's poster child 😭

Rex is radioactive! His blood, sweat, & other bodily fluids are acidic and actual biohazards. Rip buddy.

Laz is a cannibal. Technically. He's not human (clone + can transform into this giant...wolf cat thing idk i never finalized their "hulk" form ig). This does cause problems for him & Rex but they come to a deal where Laz can only eat "bad" people aka criminals and whoever SHIELD deems an enemy.

MAXINE ROMANOV (SHE/HER)

Clone of Natasha Romanov/Black Widow.

For some reason she has telepathy! This makes more sense now bc magic just kinda exists in MaaC/all my paracosms but back then I didn't have an explanation it was just sort of a thing.

Close w Rex! I guess this reflects how Bruce & Nat's relationship progressed in the movies ... BUT tbh I based most of everything off of the 2012 Avengers & Age of Ultron, a lootttt of stuff was cut out. 2012!MCU was an ERA im sure you remember.

But anyway, she was paired with Rex in order to control him bc his abilities were ... unstable, to say the least. But they're good friends, both then and now. She's basically his sister?

The others weren't as important tbh, but yknow. I still love them.

Christine Rogers, Steve Rogers/Cap's clone. Steve & Bucky adopt her! Stucky was also a thing I think idk. Probably.

Brandon Odinson, Thor's clone. He was taken in by Jane.

Zethri Barton, Clint/Hawkeye's clone. For some reason he was aquatic/like a siren? Idk it was the Clint in Vents Era, did we ever find something for that man to do.

Khole & Lorelai, also Bruce's clones and technically Rex's "siblings". Tho fun fact, their "birth order" goes: Khole, Rex, Lorelai. So. Rex is a middle child 😭😭

Holly Rose, who was just a girl w plant powers idk where she came from but she was there sometimes! She was kinda like the team mom I think.

And then I think there was Kit, a clone of Dr. Strange? She was connected to Strange somehow but I forgot. Probably related to him somehow lbr.

hi this is random but I love that you have marvel/mcu fictparas! I used to have an MCU paracosm when I was younger (the mcu had a chokehold on me from like ages 8-15). I still have some original paras from that time...kind of. I think about them sometimes lmao but they do exist in the background of my paracosms. guess what im tryna say is mcu our beloved <3 (also please give tony a hug for me he was my dad fr 😭)

OMGGGGG!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME ABSOLUTELY SCREAMING??? I can't believe we have that in common!!! MCU our beloved, indeed <333

I started getting into the MCU at about 13(?), and that's when I introduced it into my paracosm, so even our ages kind of line up, lmao! I'd love to hear about your paras, though! Even though they're background characters now, I think that's so cool that they stuck around since then!!!

And, of course I'll give Tony a hug for you! This makes for great timing, too, seeing as he just won the Hunger Games, so I'm sure he's in a pretty good mood, hehehe!

(Also, he is such a great dad, frfr! And I'm saying this as someone who literally had to fight him for custody of Peter, lmaooo!)

[misguidedasgardian]

Loki’s favorite baby sister has been sneaking off Asgard every other week. One day loki follows her and finds out that she’s been secretly dating a certain super soldier (your choice, steve or buck). Activate protective big bro mode!

The Golden Boy, and the Golden Girl

Pairing: Odinsdottir reader x Steve Rogers Ft. Loki the protector

Warnings: Sneaking around, fluff, screaming, threatening, cursing, I think that's it, secret lovers, secret relationship.

Notes: I absolutely loved this!!!! being a Odinsdottir is literally one of my dream OC. And I'm picking Steve, because I think that’ll trigger Loki more hahaha. He is gonna lose it! (in a funny non threatening way (Literally channeled Ross to write this)) I hope you like it! I had fun writing this!

Loki eyed you suspiciously

“Sword training, you say?” he asked, savoring the excuse you just gave him for not being able to attend another magic lesson with him

“Yes, with Siff” you said simply, keep your lies sweet and short, he would say, and you tried to remember that

“Oh, well, see you at dinner then?” he tried again

“Yeah, I mean, I don’t know, it might go long, stretch out right to sundown, you know Siff, it might stretch as much as a couple of days

“Well, don’t wear yourself too much” he said, tapping your back

“I won’t, big brother” you said with a wide, nervous smile, “I need to earn the title of Goddess of War, remember?”

Loki just watched you go, knowing perfectly fine that Siff was far away from this realm

Loki adored you, it wasn’t a secret you and your mom are the reason he hadn't tried to stage a coup and take the throne, and also the reason he had been so good since New York, because at the thought of being cast away and not being able to be by yours and your mother’s side, he di

Since you were a newborn in your mothers arm you would stretch your arms at the sight of him, he was only a kid and he would respond to your calling and take you in his arms, and you would cuddle against his neck. And as years went by your demonstrations of love and affection for your brother only became tender.

You were the reason the attack on New York stopped before it could even start

You made him realize he truly belonged here, in Asgard, his home was with you, Thor and Frigga, he had a purpose. One of those purposes, he believed, was teaching you all he knew, all his treacherous tricks and deceits, you had learned them all, you were a magical prodigy, but you also were the Golden Goddess, the image of goodness and virtue, so you didn't use his tricks often

Yes, you were his lovingly, favorite baby sister, but also, you were a terrible, terrible liar

So he just watched you disappear out the door of the Palace

“You can’t trick the trickster” he just purred, starting to walk in the same direction

He just stood there on the balcony to watch the Bifrost being opened, teleporting you to another world. Perhaps you were indeed going to meet up with Siff in another realm, but he didn’t believe that

It's been months in which you had been acting so strange, skittish, nervous, jumpy even, giving him crap excuses to avoid him, traveling to another realm.. to where? He didn’t know

You felt nervous about lying, you didn’t like it, especially to Loki, but the moment you’ll start telling the truth, is the moment everything you’ve built in these past months will be destroyed.

You loved your brother too and he knows that, he is your brother, but if he finds out what you’ve been hiding, you didn’t know how he was going to react

When the shine of the bifrost disappeared, only green trees welcomed you, a beautiful clearance in the middle of the woods

You looked at your right and you saw him, ever so punctual, walking towards you, using only a simple cotton shirt, leather jacket, and jeans, his golden hair combed back, his beautiful eyes wrinkled with his smile

“Hey gorgeous” you smiled as you used magic to change from your golden armour, to a simple summer dress, and a comfortable pair of shoes, human clothing

“Hey handsome” you purred before being engulfed in your boyfriend's embrace, he held you tightly against his chest and you had to lean in to be kissed by him

“I missed you” he whispered against your lips

“I missed you too” you responded

“I got us a nice cabin, by the lake”

“I love that”

“Are you prepared to stay for a couple of days?” he asked hopefully

“I think so”

“Please” he begged, “I cleared my schedule, I want to be with you, give me at least two nights” you smiled tenderly as he held you against his chest

“I want that too” you whispered, ad he enveloped your lips with his again

You had been seeing Steve for 6 months now, since you met at the battle of New York, at first you were curious about the soldier, it has been clear from the start you liked him, and that he liked you too, you has chemistry.

Intrigued by his history, you came back to earth, “to check on things'' as an excuse to see and hang around the first avenger, and that's whe you really hit it off. You stayed for two months that time, your own father had to send guards to get you

And you returned sporadically, as many times as you could without the Allfather knowing, stealing moments, kisses, encounters, rendez vous. ad only after four months, you both knew you were meant for each other

But the uncertainty of everything, of you, of Steve, made you both keep your relationship a complete secret from everyone you hold dear. You just wanted time, to make sure that it worked between you both

And now you were spending weeks with him, and nobody knew

Of course at this point you wanted to tell people

But you just needed to find the right time

You got lost in his arms, in his kiss, in his essence, to be aware of the looming presence behind you

“What is the meaning of this?” You stopped eating Steve's face to be petrified to look at Loki, that was standing behind you with a look on his face that terrified you to your core

“Loki” muttered Steve, his hands still anchored in your hips

“Soldier” he spitted out like a insult

“Brother” you whispered, letting go of Steve but standing in front of him as a way of protection, “I can explain”

“Of all humans WHY?” He yelled, “Why him?” he pointed at Steve like he was some… thing

“Brother!” you called, “Please!”he walked away from you, pacing furiously around you

“The soldier!” he growled, “And my sister!” he yelled again, making you wince, “The soldier, and my sister!” he repeated looking a the three like he could found answers there

“Brother, please,” you begged, to calm his anger, you knew it wasn’t irrational, his black hair dangling in front of his face as he shook it, trying to comprehend what was going on

“The soldier? really sister?” He snarled, finally looking at you, passing his hand through his rebellious hair to clear his face, his indignation made you flinch, you knew, of all avengers and humans, Loki found Steve the most annoying

“Loki” you called, you heart sank on your chest

“What is it with you?” he demanded, looking at Steve, “Mr perfect” he mocked, “First my brother is smitten with you for some reason, and now my sister!” he shouted, pointing at you with his open hand“The soldier, and my sister!”

“Loki, I care about (Y/N), ok?” he said softly, and he looked right at you, his big hand pressed against your small back, “I do, we have been seeing each other for a couple months now”

“Since when?” he demanded

“I looked for him, after New York” you said, “It was me” he frowned, looking at you

“He is a human” you released the breath you didn’t know you were holding, “Of all gods out there, why him?”

“I love him” you said softly, trying to communicate through your eyes what you felt

“You do?” he asked, and then he looked at Steve

“I do too, I love her” he said firmly, his side pressed against yours

“He is a mortal” he said, menacing

I am as well” you responded

“You’ll live 5 thousand years!” he interpreted his very valid point, “He’ll live 50 more, if he is lucky”

“I know” you choked out, “But here on earth, Time is different than on Asgard”

“You would deceive all your family for this man?” he tried again

“I knew how you were going to react, we wanted to make sure this was real!” you responded, “Before we told everyone, we wanted to make sure this could work”

“I thought I held a special place in your heart” he said, hurting, “I thought you’d love me enough to tell me”

“I do Loki you know that, it’s just, not even Thor knows, we are just testing it out”

“You are the first to find out” breathed Steve

“So, nobody knows” he said slowly

“Nobody” Steve confirmed

“Not even Thor?” he asked again, drawing his signature wicked smile

“Not even Thor” you completed. Loki took a long breath, he put his hands behind his back as he walked in a circle one more time, admiring the scenery.

Then he looked at Steve, and took long and decisive steps to reach him, plucking him away from you, to grab him from his jacket. Steve didn’t resist, and you put yourself on guard, ready to stop him if he planned on attacking him. But Loki, with his hands grasping the fabric, only leaned in to him

“Soldier, you need to know something” he whispered to his ear, “I left my ambitions for the throne, for her, I made myself enemy of the greatest army in the galaxy, for her, I groveled and begged, for her, if you think I wouldn’t kill for her, you are very wrong”

“I’ll have it in the front of my mind” he said back

“If you hurt my baby sister, you’ll be begging for me to kill you”

“Yes,” he said firmly, and then Loki released him. The dark haired god finally seemed pleased

“Can I please be the one to tell Thor?” he asked with a wide smile

“Absolutely not!” you said, outraged

. . .

So you finally got to reunite all of the Avengers, eve your two brothers, to brake the new to them as a whole, you walked into the compound holding hands with your beloved, and that’s all it took

“I knew it” chanted Tony, “You’ve left all those bifrost marks all around”

“Yes, you weren’t very sutil” smiled Nat

You looked at your big brother, he only crossed his arms and raised a golden eyebrow

“Since when?” Loki then stood beside him, imitating his stance

“I already knew,” he said wickedly. You walked towards him, still holding hands with Steve

“Since a couple of moths” you said softly, giving him puppy eyes

“They love each other” chanted Loki. And then, Thor just Smiled

“My friend! and my sister!” he growled with a wide smile, and engulfed you both in a huge hug. “I can’t believe this!” he said against your ear, “I’m so happy and pleased!”

Loki just rolled his eyes

. . .

Thor could stay on earth, but Loki still needed to check himself on Asgard, so he returned that night, the glimmer of the bifrost almost blinding in contrast with the dark night. You were coming home tomorrow, accompanied by the soldier to tell your parents, that should be fun.

“Don’t worry” said Heimdall as Loki walked past him, “They’ll live a long and happy life”

“Have you seen them?” he asked, genuinely interested

“My gifts allow me to see only glimpses of the future” he said, “And they will be very happy and you will always be a part of her life” Loki didn’t say anything as he smiled and left the guardian

And from that moment forwards he had the pleasure to always be in the right place at the right time, being first witness to all the most important headstones in your life.

. . .

You just smiled at your brother, seated at the back porch of the house you shared with Steve

"The soldier seems cheery, and quiet" he observed once Steve had left you both, winking at you

"Well, we have news" you said with a shy smile

"What?" he asked, noticing there was something strange happening, you just smiled and grabbed his hand over the table

"You are going to be an uncle" you said, not being able to hold it any longer

"What?" his eyes opened widely, with a special gleam you had never seen before

"I'm pregnant!" you said. And he will deny it to the day he dies, but you saw the happy tears rolling down his cheeks as he smiled at you brightly

He was also the first to know then

[constellaj]

Can you tell me about Dora here she is one of my favorite characters

DORA

T(old art hi)

narratively speaking, dora is a parallel to danny in an episode tentatively called "sibling rivalry"! her overbearing brother aragon keeps getting on her nerves, so she (of her own volition!) runs away to the human world to have "true fun" (read: cause problems because she is a dragon). however danny catches up to her and she just goes "UGH my older brother is SUCH a PAIN"

and of course this episode, jazz knows dannys phantom, and shes been pushing him into having a "perfect childhood." he should be in at least one sport, one art based extra curricular, have tutoring sessions, get enough sleep, etc etc etc and it has been driving danny up a WALL. so instead of sending dora back dannys like "wait yeah older siblings SUCK ASS!!!!" and they cause problems TOGETHER

then aragon shows up and is like "woe is me my younger sister is lost (and also i want to kill danny phantom)" and jazz only hears the first part like "oh man that sucks my younger brother (who is danny phantom) is also """lost""" (read: out past curfew lately) we should look for them together" or w/e and the moral of hte story is JAZZ GIVE YOUR BROTHER SOME FUCKING SPACE

THAT ASIDE ! without that episode i still think dora is very neat theres honestly not a lot i would change about her??? i mean design wise i give her the funny hair so it look like horns and all, and i like Beauty Marked's "she controls the dragon" way more than Parental Bonding's "ooo if you angry then you dragon."

i think she and sam should be BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dora can write a letter with sams cell phone number and mail it andthen sam will get a text with that via some funny ghost magic. dora playing a lute to a hard rock ballad. sam being like "bro check out this black leather jacket". dora is still very sweet and feminine in her rebelliousness but she should be the type of girl to SMASH a bottle and go "OH!!! :D that was fun!!!!" something something the archetype of an overly sheltered child getting to touch grass for the first time and being wild and "evil" about it. of course shes not perfect she can be pretty destructive without realizing it (shes a CHILD after all!!!! like 16 maybe but come on) and sam's influence doesnt make her. tone it DOWN.

she should leave the GZ and visit sam (and tucker!!!!!!!!) more often :}

people should think about what if dora and sam kissed i think. they should hold hands. or dora and ember.

more :clap: idiot :clap: women. i want dora to never learn what an ipad is. i want dora to stare at a traffic light in the middle of a four-way intersection in total awe that it changes color. i want her to be obsessed with paved concrete/asphalt roads. this is important. (note: do not confuse idiot with idiot. she does know to hide her ghost form and dragon form in the human realm. she just knows nothing else)

she is incredibly gullible/naive, not because of stupid, but because shes just Like That. think about like, starfire, thor, early wonder woman-- ppl from different ears/planets who have big eyes and are in awe of the mundanities and who will believe literally anything you tell them. this. this is my vision

tldr: dora :)

[damn-stark]

Lightning pt.2

Thor Odinson x Odinsdottir!reader, Loki Laufeyson x Odinsdottir!reader (platonic)

Summary: After the death of your brother Loki, and Frigga, things in Asgard change drastically, just like your father. Where he was cold and distant before, now he’s caring and attentive. And you didn’t mind his change, in fact you loved that he had this new time for you, yet when you find out the truth behind his actions, how will you react?

Warning- Fluff, violence, angst

———-

“Come on just listen.”

“Hmm,” you turn to your older brother Thor and ignore the one that was supposedly now alive and trying to get a word in. “Thor, did you hear something?”

Said man shakes his head and plays along with you. “No, it was just the howl of the wind.”

You nod in agreement, “I think so.”

“Just listen to me!” Loki bellows, making Thor and you stop halfway to Himinbjorg and turn to face him. “Just,” he sighs and calms down, “listen to me.”

“No,” you remark as you take a step towards him and point your finger at him, “no you don’t get to talk because you lied! You lied to Thor and me! You made us believe that you had died when it wasn’t true, when you were here the whole time!” Angry tears fill your eyes and your lips curl into a scowl, but also falters and threatens to turn to a frown. “You could’ve said something to me.”

“And if I had said something, tell me you wouldn’t have run to Thor, the moment you could.” Loki argues, matching the anger in your tone.

You scoff and step away from him, your tears dry up and you speak in a calmer and softer tone, “maybe because we care about you, Loki, is that so hard to believe?”

Loki parts his lips to argue, but all he does is take a small breath and stay quiet as his eyes bounce between Thor listening and agreeing, and you pouring out your frustration.

“Not only that,” you add, hearing your voice crack again, “but you made me believe that father had changed and truly cared for me and didn’t just talk to me when it was convenient for him.”

“What?” Thor interjects as he lets out a nervous chuckle, “what are you talking about, y/n? Father does care about you. You’re his only daughter and his youngest child.”

You scoff and slowly tilt your head to look at Thor, who looked utterly surprised at your revelation, that to him was unbelievable to hear, yet it was the truth to you. “Maybe deep inside his heart, but the only time he showed any type of fatherly affection was when Loki was disguised as him.” You lower your gaze and avoid both Thor and Loki's gaze. “Father has never loved me like he did you, and that’s all I wanted, for him to at least show any type of care that he showed you.”

Thor laughs nervously and crosses his arms over his chest whilst he shakes his head and dismisses the truth he didn’t admit. “Father loves us all equally, he doesn’t have favorites.”

“Uh,” you breathe out before Loki and you meet each other's gaze and share a knowing look at Thor’s clueless comment. “Okay,” you scoff, “whatever I’m done with this,” you spin back on your heels and storm towards Himinbjorg. “Let’s go find father. Our real father.”

“Hey, don’t turn your back on me,” Loki calls after you as Thor and him continue towards Himinbjorg. “I’m not done yet.”

You stop in your tracks and turn halfway to throw your hand out and shoot him a bolt of lightning. “I’m done.”

Thor looks down at Loki and snickers. “You deserved that.”

——

(MIDGARD)

“I swear I left him right here.” Loki says as the three of you watch the rubble of what used to be a building was being picked up.

“Right here on the sidewalk, or right there where the building is being demolished?” Thor remarks. “Great planning.”

Loki shrugs nonchalantly, “how was I supposed to know? Can’t see into the future. I’m not a witch.”

“No? Then why are you dressed like one?”

“Hey.”

As they both continue to argue, you finally give yourself a moment to examine Midgard for the first time. After all the good things Thor had said about this planet, it wasn’t living to your expectations; it was crowded and loud. The clothes they wore were comfortable, but so far that’s about it. The air smelled odd, there was a mixture of different scents, like new food, their was this bitter smell, the scent of trees and dirt, but also something you couldn’t identify. It made you wonder why Loki and Thor seemed to like this so much.

“Hi,”

You turn your head away from the building and look at a pair of girls walking up to Thor, with a long rectangular things in their hands and big grins on their faces.

“Would you mind taking a picture with us?”

Thor doesn’t hesitate to agree and the girls giggle with content as they gather around him to take a...picture?

“How odd, yet fascinating.” You muse, you turn to Loki and smirk, “maybe they’ll take a photo with me? Considering I’m in their little history books.”

“Start figuring out where he is.” Thor tells Loki before he smiles at the gadget.

“Sorry to hear that Jane dumped you.” A girl says before they walk off, making you turn to Thor and raise a quizzical brow.

“I thought you said—”

“She didn’t dump me, you know,” Thor interjects before you could finish, “I dumped her. It was a mutual dumping.”

Loki pats Thor's shoulder and you simply smile wider and nod as you hear his excuse, albeit not lasting too long in this happy state as around Loki’s feet a gold sparking ring begins to circle around him, making Thor, you and even Loki confused on what was suddenly going on until Loki, suddenly falls down into the gold, sparkling ring and disappears. Leaving behind a piece of paper in his place.

“What just happened?” You mutter as you tap the paper with your foot.

Thor taps the paper with the point of his umbrella and whispers, “Loki,” before he picks it up and you both read the words on it and he finishes with, “an address.”

“Is it one of your superhero friends?” You ask curiously, “your work friends?”

Thor shakes his head and puts the card down, “no. At least I don’t think so. Let’s go see what they want.”

You hum in agreement and begin to blindly follow beside him, looking around at the passing buildings to take everything in.

“So how are you liking earth?” Thor finally asks, “it’s not the trip I promised, but it’s earth.”

“It’s,” you begin slowly, lifting your hand to stroke your chin, “it’s very….what’s the word, average, disappointing, uh, mediocre? I can’t believe Loki really wanted to rule here.”

“Yeah well our brother is weird.”

You grin, “do you think if I did like a lightening show, you know something scary, they’d like bow to me?”

Thor’s gaze narrows and his expression twists into one of concern. “Uh, I think you’ve been under our brothers influence a bit too long. Let’s not do that.” He grabs your shoulders and continues guiding you to where the card instructed.

You shrug, “just something to laugh at.”

“Yeah….no.”

You sigh in disappointment and see him step to your side.

“You’ve got to try this drink these mortals call coffee, it’s delicious.” Thor adds with excitement, “after we find Loki, and father of course.”

“Okay—”

“And this thing about Father, you know...”

There it was. Yep, you knew he was going to bring that up.

“...he does care right.” Thor continues, causing you to frown and feel that frustration all over again. “He just has a hard time expressing it.”

“Yeah,” you nod slowly, “sure.” You pull away from his side and before he could blink, you speed around a couple blocks until you find the right address and return to Thor in a flash and just create a sudden gust of wind when you do so. Causing Thor to react in a shock.

“Did you just?”

“Yep. I’m faster now. Fath—Loki has been teaching me how to improve my powers…” you trail off, quickly choosing to change the subject before he could question it. “The place is just around the corner.”

——

When you finally reach the building in question, Thor is the first to knock, albeit as soon as he does you’re both magically transported inside. Being welcomed into a fancy dimly lit room that gave this magistic type of vibe.

“Thor odinson.” A sudden voice boomed and cut through the silence that had greeted Thor and you, making you jump and fist your hands to produce lightning sparks that you were prepared to turn into full lightning bolts in any given second, as this floating figure began to float towards your brother and you. “God of Thunder. You can put down the umbrella.” The man that greeted your brother from the shadows finally lets his face be seen; showing an older intimidating man that looked to be a wizard with his red cape and yellow gloves. His hardened gaze shifted from your brother and then to you to continue nonchalantly, “and turn off any hostility.”

Thor and you meet each other’s gaze and silently come to an agreement to do as this wizard said—you retract the lightning and let your fists unfold, while Thor sets his umbrella down and suddenly makes the room change as the object hits the ground. You don’t question your curiosity out loud, instead you keep it in your mind.

Thor on the other hand, did the opposite and also began to mess with items that weren’t his. “So, Earth has, uh, wizards now?” He chuckles and as he sets what he had been messing with down, making it all tumble and make a mess.

“Oh.” You breathe under your breath.

“The preferred term is “Master of the Mystic Arts.” You can leave that now.”

“All right wizard,” Thor clicks his tongue as he leans by the counter, “who are you? Why should we care?”

“My name is Doctor Stephan Strange,” the man finally reveals. “And I have some questions for you. Take a seat.”

Suddenly, seconds after he said that, Thor and you were magically swooshed to a different room, this time where you were now sitting down on comfortable seats.

“Tea?” Doctor Strange suggests, having teacups magically appear in your hands.

“Oh,” you smile, “thank you.”

However Thor doesn’t take the offering and has his drink changed to beer, letting the Doctor carry on with his own questions.

“So I keep a watchlist of individuals and beings from other realms that may be a threat to this world. Your adopted brother, Loki is one of those beings.” The man chuckles.

“He’s a worthy inclusion.” Thor remarks after finishing and getting his drink refilled. “Hmm.”

“Then why bring him here? And why bring your…” his eyes drift to you and you knew what he was going at with his waiting silence.

“Y/N Odinsdottir,” Thor introduces with a small smile, “my little sister, the Goddess of lightning and speed. Far from a threat. Regarding our brother, well we’re looking for our father.”

“So if I were to tell you where Odin was…” the man interjects, “all parties concerned would promptly return to Asgard?”

You nod after taking a sip of your tea. “Promptly.”

“Great! Then I’ll help you.”

“If you knew where he was, why didn’t you call me?” Thor questions, making Doctor Strange answer with a not so surprising answer. “I have to tell you he was adamant that he not be disturbed. Your father said had chosen to remain in exile.”

You scoff at the comment and think ‘of course, he always was such a caring man. It’s his nature. Ughh please.’

Regardless, just as the wizard had said, he helped search for your father, using magic to do so, and to magically transport Thor and you from room to room, leaving him unstable, while you didn’t think much of it and remained stable—it was fascinating magic.

It wasn’t until some minutes later where the wizard finally left you in one room to most likely send you off with pleasure, after making a gold, sparkling ring that led to Norway. Albeit something was missing.

“Uh,” you mutter out as Thor waited for his “umbrella” to come to his hand, “could we please have our brother back?”

“Oh, yeah, right.” The wizard says before he waves his hand to make a portal appear from above your heads that dropped Loki behind you.

“I have been falling for thirty minutes!” Loki complains.

“You can handle him from here.”

“Yeah,” you agree as you pull your attention away from your upset brother, “of course. Thank you very much for your help.”

Thor takes his hand and you notice as Loki falls by your side and bitterly remarks to The wizards comment. “Handle me? Who are you?” Loki pulls out his daggers and Thor begins to try and calm him down, albeit Loki was stubborn and proud. “You think you’re some kind of sorcerer? Don’t think for one minute you second-rate…”

Before Loki could swing his dagger and try anything, Doctor Strange sends the ring your way and you’re all fully embraced by a beautiful, green and peaceful land. Some where at end, where the greenery stopped and the view of the ocean began, stood your father.

Unlike Thor who was quick to approach him, you hesitated behind, just staring at the man that hours ago you had thought you’d shared a bond with. You saw him and you thought the feelings of that bond were there, but when you really got to thinking, as you saw him on the horizon, you saw a stranger.

“Let’s go.” You hear Loki’s voice tell you.

When you look at your brother, even if seeing him still felt strange since you’d thought he had died, the feelings of that bond were with him. Oddly enough he felt more like a father than your actual father felt.

However you couldn’t forgive Loki just yet, it wasn’t that simple.

“Father it’s us.” Thor tells your father, who keeps his eyes on the beautiful ocean ahead. “My sons, my daughter. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“I know. We’ve come to take you home.” Thor explains.

“Home, yes. Your mother, she calls me. Do you hear it?”

While you stand the furthest side away from him, you narrow your gaze on him out of concern.

Something was happening with him that you couldn’t admit.

“Loki, lift your magic.” Thor snaps, which Loki only disagrees to.

Your father on the other hand chuckles, “took me quite a while to break from your spell. Frigga would have been proud. Come sit with me. I don’t have much time.”

You all do as he asks and slowly you come to agreement with what was coming.

“I know that we failed you. But we can make this right.”

“I failed you.” Your father rebuts Thor’s comment, pulling your full attention. “It is upon us. Ragnarok.”

“No I’ve stopped Ragnarok. I put an end to Surtur.”

“No.” Your father continues, “it has already begun. She’s coming. My life was all that held her back. But my time has come.”

What?

Your siblings and you all share a concerned look at what you were hearing.

“I cannot keep her away any longer.”

“What? Who?” You finally voice. “Who are you talking about?”

“Goddess of Death. Hela. My firstborn. Your sister.”

Uh….

Of fucking course! Even in his very last moment he has the time to reveal something else. Another secret.

“Your what?” You scoff.

“Her violent appetites grew beyond my control. I couldn’t stop her, so I imprisoned her. Locked her away. She draws her strength from Asgard...and once she gets there, her powers will be limitless.”

“Whatever she is, we will stop her together.” Thor shakes his head, tries to reason with him and keeps himself in denial to what was obvious. “We can face her together.”

Your father shakes his head. “No, we won’t. I’m on a different path now. This you must face alone. I love you my sons, my daughter. Look at that.” Your father points beyond him, yet you don’t look, you keep repeating his words in your head. It’s the first time you had heard it and it was when he was dying. After he revealed another huge secret.

“Remember this place. Home.”

With that last word, your father is no more, he turns to gold dust and floats away into the horizon—you don’t cry however, you felt sad, but not as upset as Thor.

Thunder rumbled, the wind howled and electricity crackled in his hands. Growing Loki concerned “Brother.”

“This was your doing.” Thor seethed as he began to get in a fighting stance. Stopping however as a black and green cloud brewed in the sky. You all went closer to it but stopped before you could get far. Instead you all proceed to change into your armor, all of you in your different ways.

The black and green cloud was now before you and out of it came out a tall woman with black hair, and a black and green uniform—Your sister you assumed. Half sister.

“So he’s gone.” She said. “That’s a shame. I would’ve liked to have seen that.”

You narrow your gaze on her and clench your wrists, creating lightning in the sky and sparks of it in your hands.

“You must be Hela,” Thor said, “I’m Thor, son of Odin.”

“Really? You don’t look like him.”

You snicker at her comment and hide your threatening smile behind your hand.

“Perhaps we can come to an arrangement.”

“You sound like him.” Hela points to Loki.

You don’t butt in and create a lightning bolt on your hand, earning a smirk from Hela.

“You act like him.”

You scoff, “please don’t compare me to him.”

Hela smirk widens and she looks at all three of you. “Kneel.”

“Peg your pardon?” Loki scoffs.

Hela makes a sword appear in her hand and she repeats herself in the same nonchalant voice. “Kneel. Before your queen.”

Wait. Wait a minute.

You hold back your laugh that threatened to come out and you just smile to the ground. You knew it wasn’t the right time, but you had to say it—“so who's the adopted one again?”

You receive a warning glare from Thor and an amused look from Loki.

“I don’t think so.” Thor remarks to Hela before he throws his hammer, that she catches with ease, making you finally grow serious and shocked.

Even more so when she broke the hammer into pieces, causing a big lightning explosion that made you duck down to cover your head and face before you stand up straight to take all of it in.

After the lightning had disappeared you look back at her and see a helmet on her head, and weapons in her hands.

A smirk grows on your lips and with the lightning you collected by the explosion, you grow lightning bolts in both hands and levitate off the ground, you swing your hand back and before you could shoot her, Loki regrettably stops the fight.

“Brings us back!”

“No!”

[xlehukax]

We’ve seen so much of Loki’s s/o with his helmet- but you all are really sleeping on his cape.

// And because my brain works like a hyperactive child, I immediately sat down and scribbled this little drabble out. Just a happy fluff bomb to start the day for anyone who sees. I tried to be as gender neutral as possible. Enjoy! // 

“Hey, Loki, you got up early?” you wipe your eyes as you stumble down the stairs, greeted with an empty kitchen. Hmm. That’s odd.

Worry brewing slowly, you glance at the living room: it’s also devoid of any tall dark-haired handsome men. The whole house shifts in your vision, screaming of its emptiness. 

“Loki??” you shout anxiously. Trying to regulate your breathing, you sit on the couch. Hey, it’s alright. He’s fine. Everything’s fine. He didn’t leave. Why would he leave? He surely wasn’t taken. He’s too strong to be taken. Right? 

Looking up slightly, your eyes catch on a scrap of lined paper on the small coffee table. Picking it up daintily, you read the elegant practiced script:

‘In case you didn’t see my other notes that I’ve littered throughout the house, please read this one before panicking darling. It seems Thor has gotten himself in a bit of trouble politically, so I have been summoned to assist him. I’ll be a little while, so please go about your day as you would normally. I repeat, rather a plea: do not ‘freak out’, as you say.

There is plenty of milk for dry cereal: do me a great favor and eat breakfast, hmm?

I’ll see you later, my love.

Yours,

Loki,’

He’s signed his name in that swooping enchanting way that princes and calligraphy professionals do. You smile at the note appreciatively: you have to thank him later. You breathe out, calm once more. Now that you’re actually looking for notes, you find a good dozen tucked into places you’ll probably interact with in the morning: in the bathroom mirror, on the milk in the fridge, on the bedside table, on your keys, by your shoes… a lot of others that you hope will disappear on their own rather than you having to track them all down.

It’s very cute nonetheless.

After a so-so bowl of cereal and washing it, you’re lost on what to do.

It’s Saturday, and pretty late into the day already: you’ve finished all your work so that you could have a night with Loki (which was fantastic, as always) and always a wonderful idea until he leaves for some political adventure and you’re stuck with nothing.

And then again, there is something you’ve always wanted to do since you started a relationship with the Norse God…

You’re running to his closet at full throttle before you know it, and there it is in it’s full glory: hung on a hanger so impeccably.

His helmet is enticingly in a case in the corner: but you’ve tried that one on before, and though it’s pretty, it’s both incredibly heavy and frustratingly uncomfortable. Even Loki’s expressed his occasional distaste for it, especially when walking through relatively low doorways.

The cape. Emerald hued, long enough to drape over Loki’s entire lanky body, and so soft looking! You reach out to caress it: oh my god, it’s like silk. Not rough at all, and a gentle tug proves that it remains strong despite it. You take it off the hanger carefully and let it pool in your hands. Oh my goodness, it’s gorgeous.

But it’s so big: you’re shorter than Loki by a significant margin, enough that he has to bend down slightly to kiss your lips, so the cape is way too long for you to wear respectively. Thankfully... 

You lost your dignity long ago.

Nothing stops you from putting over your shoulders, attaching it to your pajama shirt, and making dramatic turns. It swooshes. Like a skirt worn by a girl dancing through a flower field in an indie film. 

The cape, though dragging on the ground on your height, still makes regal arcs as you dramatically turn as if you were entering a room.

Oh, look at me, I’m going to take my rightful place in Asgard! 

Or, your personal favorite, the determined strut away from some enemy you’ve just destroyed. 

To make things even better: there’s a full body mirror in Loki’s closet. Admiring yourself in it, you can see why Loki looks so good: you’re not nearly as elegant as him, but man is it nice. The Loki version of stealing your boyfriends clothes. You sniff it nonchalantly: oh man. You blush as you take another whiff of it. It’s so nice.

So, it doesn’t just look good: it feels good, and smells good too. Well, Loki is literally a magic man so it makes sense.

You unclip it from your shirt, and hold it in your hands.  And then, oh so carefully (as if someone was watching), you lift it to your face and rub your nose into it.

It pushes a smile onto your face. Well, it appears I do in fact have plans for today.

~~~~~

When Loki gets home, the sun is beginning to set. He snaps his fingers to discard of the royal attire and shift into something casual, ready for a relaxing night with his loved one, but just as he’s ready to call for you… he notices where you’ve taken up.

He can’t withhold his chuckle of bemusement at the image before him: you’re asleep on the couch, snuggled into his cape up to your nose like it’s a blanket, the television is playing some continuous stream of some random show that you must been watching before your exhaustion set in fully, and there’s an abandoned half a sandwich beside you.

With a quick kiss to your forehead, he puts away your sandwich and then makes quick work of the other tiny messes you haven’t put away just yet.

And then he scoops you into his arms, cape and all, and carries you to the bedroom. You murmur something unintelligible in your sleep, and he allows you to cuddle in closer to his cool chest before settling you beneath the covers of your bed. It’s with a natural ease that he slides in beside you, wrapping his arms around your abdomen and resting his head in the pocket between your neck and shoulder that most certainly belongs to Loki. He kisses it lightly. It’s a small miracle within itself as you say random gibberish and his name somewhere mixed between.

“-oki? You- you home?” you say. Loki must stifle his laughs.

“Yes, I’m here darling. So very sorry I left you with nothing to do: but I see that you found something to entertain yourself with when I was gone,” he hints.

“Mhmmm, it’s very soft,”

“I’m glad you like it. I’ll have one made for you, if you’d like,” Loki suggests, smiling into your back. You squirm a little, his nose poking into your shoulder uncomfortably, and he moves to remedy it.

“I like yours, though. Can I- can I have yours?” you murmur. Loki smiles broadly to himself again.

“I tell you what, you can have me and the cape,”

“Awesome,” you sigh, and then you make some sleepy yawn and you’re gone again.

Loki can’t erase the smile from his face: what a delight to come home to; What a treat, to hug your soft sides and nestle in your warmth like a child. You’re using his cape as a blanket, and Loki’s using you as a pillow. It’s only right.

All Loki’s best plans included ravishing you when he got home, but somehow, resting beside you in this way turns out to be infinitely more rewarding than any sort of sexual pleasure.

Loki Series Rewrite (AKA Loki Series but with Squirrel Girl): Ep 1

Hey guys! Long story short, I wasn’t a fan of the Loki series, so I decided to make my own rewrite (including my favorite Marvel character, Squirrel Girl!) These are basically a collection of scenes that I would’ve either added or rewritten to improve the show. Btw, this is a continuation of my Endgame rewrite where Loki comes back to life after dying in Infinity War, so the Loki in this version is modern-day Loki, not 2012 Loki. Also, the whole Loki x Sylvie self-cest thing made me VEEERRRRY UNCOMFY, so I got rid of it. Their relationship is purely platonic in this. Anyways, enjoy! (This work is in screenplay format.)

INT. TVA - DAY

We pan through the TVA and see agents at work, checking timelines and watching training videos. We see various TVA posters warning about variants and "protecting the sacred timeline."

We then cut to RAVONNA RENSLAYER in her office. She is at her desk, sorting through files. Suddenly, an agent bursts in.

AGENT

Ma'am, we have a situation.

Ravonna follows the agent to a computer, where we see a timeline branching off from the main one.

AGENT

Is this the variant we've been searching for?

Ravonna glances at the computer and nods.

RAVONNA

About damn time...

EXT. CHICAGO BAR, 1986 - NIGHT

We see a woman with long, black hair and a green dress chatting with a man in a bar. The song "Devil Woman" by Cliff Richard is playing in the background.

MAN

Can I interest you in another drink, beautiful?

The woman lets out a flirty laugh and blushes.

WOMAN

Oh, you're too kind.

The man turns to the bartender.

MAN

Hey, can you get my girl here a...

(He turns to the woman.)

What can I get you, honey?

WOMAN

Surprise me.

The man turns back to the bartender.

MAN

You heard her.

The woman has a devilish smirk on her face as she watches them. The man turns back to her as the bartender starts mixing a drink.

MAN

You know, I feel selfish. I've been talking so much about myself, but I still don't know a thing about you.

WOMAN

Well... what do you want to know?

Suddenly, another man approaches them.

MAN #2

Hey, what do you think you're doing with my date?!

MAN

Your date? She's mine, asshole!

MAN #2

I caught her first!

(He turns to the woman.)

I'm sorry, honey, is this guy bothering you?

MAN

Bothering her?! You listen here, shithead-

He grabs the other man and they begin to wrestle with each other.

WOMAN

(Playfully)

Oh no, please don't fight over me...

As the men grow more violent, a bit of green magic shoots out of the woman's hand, causing the first man's wallet to fly into her grasp. She slips by the men, undetected as the bartender tries to break them up. Outside the bar, the woman walks off. With a smirk, she shifts into LOKI, now in his male form. He unveils the tesseract with magic and disappears.

INT. THE BENATAR - NIGHT

Loki reappears in the Guardians' ship, where Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy are waiting for him. Loki smirks.

LOKI

Another successful venture.

THOR

Did they fight?

LOKI

Like bilgesnipe.

Thor bursts into laughter, and Loki hands Rocket the wallet.

LOKI

I also got the wallet, as requested. Although, I don't think Midgardian currency will have much value on the far side of the galaxy.

ROCKET

Who cares about the money? I just wanted the wallet.

(He dumps out the dollar bills and admires the wallet.)

This is nice leather...

LOKI

Anyone else have any travel requests?

QUILL

Oh, I got a whole bunch.

NEBULA

Quit acting like children. An infinity stone is not a toy to be played with.

LOKI

Oh, please. The tesseract and I go far back. If anyone can control it, I can.

ROCKET

You know, I'm starting to think you've just gotten sick of being around us, and now you're just looking for an excuse to get away.

LOKI

I will neither confirm nor deny that.

THOR

By that, he means "yes."

ROCKET

That's pretty rude of you, grease weasel.

Loki scowls at him.

DRAX

Can you travel to Kylos? I would greatly enjoy having some trego fruit again.

LOKI

Certainly.

The tesseract starts to glow in his hands.

INT. TVA - DAY

The agent and Ravonna are still at the computer.

AGENT

He's using the stone again. He's going to time-jump.

RAVONNA

Block it. Intercept him.

The agent presses a button.

EXT. MONGOLIA - DAY

Loki crash lands in the Gobi Desert and wakes up, looking utterly confused as a group of villagers approach him.

VILLAGER

(in Mongolian)

Who are you? Why have you come to our home?

Loki raises an eyebrow and opens his mouth to respond. Suddenly, a portal opens and several TVA agents enter. They lean down to examine the tesseract, and Loki abruptly rushes over to them.

LOKI

Don't touch that!

The agents ready their prune sticks. Suddenly, HUNTER B-15 opens a portal and enters.

HUNTER B-15

It appears to be a standard sequence violation.

(She checks her tem-pad)

Branch is growing at a stable rate and slope. Variant identified.

LOKI

I beg your pardon?

HUNTER B-15

On behalf of the Time Variance Authority, I hereby arrest you for crimes against the sacred timeline. Hands up.

The agents activate their prune sticks.

HUNTER B-15

You're coming with us.

LOKI

I'm sorry, who's "us"?

Hunter B-15 activates her own prune stick.

HUNTER B-15

Last chance, variant.

Loki chuckles.

LOKI

Look, I don't know who the hell you seem to think you are... But if you don't mind, this is actually your last chance.

(Beat)

Now get out of my way.

Before he can attack, Hunter B-15 strikes him with her stick.

INT. TVA COURTROOM - DAY

Ravonna pounds her gavel.

RAVONNA

Next case, please!

Hunter B-15 forces Loki onto the stand.

RAVONNA

"Laufeyson"... Variant L1130, aka "Loki Laufeyson"...

LOKI

I prefer "Odinson," thank you.

After a pause, Ravonna shrugs.

RAVONNA

Very well...

(She crosses out "Laufeyson" on his case file and writes in "Odinson.")

Loki Odinson, you are charged with sequence violation 7-20-89. How do you plead?

Loki chuckles.

LOKI

Madam, a god doesn't plead. Look, this has been a very enjoyable pantomime, but I'd like to go home now.

RAVONNA

Are you guilty or not guilty, sir?

Loki smirks.

LOKI

Guilty of being the god of mischief, yes. Guilty of finding all of this incredibly tedious, yes. Guilty of a... "crime"... against the "sacred timeline"? Absolutely not, you have the wrong person.

RAVONNA

Oh, really? And who should we have?

LOKI

Well, in my defense, the only reason I ever came in possession of the tesseract is because the Avengers traveled back in time.

Mobius enters the courtroom.

RAVONNA

We're not here to talk about the Avengers. What they did was supposed to happen; you reviving yourself with the tesseract and running around time, causing chaos was not.

Loki laughs.

LOKI

I'm sorry - not supposed to happen according to whom?

RAVONNA

The timekeepers.

INT. TIME THEATER - DAY

Mobius is showing Loki clips of his life and trying to dig deeper into his psyche.

MOBIUS

You know, trying to kill all the frost giants, invading Earth, I don't see anything very mischievous about this...

He plays a clip of the bifrost nearly destroying Jotunheim. A family of frost giants runs in fear as the land is destroyed. A little girl screams as her father is vaporized by the blast. Loki is visibly uncomfortable.

MOBIUS

Look at that. Did you enjoy doing that?

LOKI

Enough of your games. You've made your point.

Ignoring him, Mobius plays the clip of him telling Kurse where to go.

MOBIUS

And then, you tried tricking the dark elves into finding Thor, but instead, you sent them right to Frigga.

Loki tenses when he sees Frigga fighting Malekith.

LOKI

I don't want to watch this.

He winces, trying to keep himself together, as he watches Malekith stab Frigga.

MOBIUS

Well, you're going to watch it. Because that's your life, that's the consequences of your actions, and that is the proper flow of time! Now, why don't you tell me, do you enjoy hurting people?

LOKI

I don't have to play your games-

MOBIUS

Do you enjoy killing?

LOKI

I'll kill you.

MOBIUS

What, like you did your mother?

Enraged, Loki tosses a chair at him. Mobius dodges it, and it flies through the hologram of Frigga's dead body. Loki lunges at Mobius, but he uses the time twister to send him back on the ground. Loki growls in pain.

MOBIUS

Sorry, the time twister just loops you, not the furniture. You weren't born to be king, Loki. You were born to cause pain and suffering and death. That's how it is, that's how it was, and that's how it always will be. All so that others can achieve their best versions of themselves.

LOKI

(Voice cracking)

That's not true. You're lying.

MOBIUS

It is true. Your life ended after Thanos snapped your neck, because you fulfilled your purpose of assembling the Avengers to destroy you. Your purpose was never to become a hero. You're a villain, and that will never change as long as the sacred timeline runs its course.

INT. TIME THEATER - DAY

After Loki escapes and returns to the time theater on his own, he finds a folder of papers on the table. He opens it and reads the first file. It reads "LOKI ODINSON - MAIN OBJECTIVES: MURDER, LIE, MANIPULATE. LIFE PURPOSE: CATALYST FOR THE AVENGERS. OBJECTIVE FULFILLED. LIFE TERMINATED. END OF FILE.

Horrified, Loki stares at the file as tears run down his face. After a moment, he starts laughing as Hunter B-15 enters.

HUNTER B-15

Something funny?

After a pause, Loki shakes his head.

LOKI

Glorious purpose...

INT. TIME THEATER - DAY

Loki is talking with Mobius after being apprehended again.

LOKI

I will admit, the TVA is... formidable. Even an infinity stone is useless here.

(Beat)

You're not going to let me return to my own timeline, are you?

(Beat)

MOBIUS

Normally, no, we wouldn't. But... if you help us... maybe the timekeepers might be willing to make an exception. A rogue variant's been killing our minutemen.

LOKI

And you need the god of mischief to help you stop him?

MOBIUS

That's right.

LOKI

Why me?

MOBIUS

The variant we're hunting is... you.

Have some actual Lady Loki yay! 

So yeah, the purpose of this episode was mainly to re-establish the show within the continuity of my version of Endgame. Squirrel Girl comes in next episode!

@drawntothedarkside Here’s your tag!

[lonelyghosts-stuff]

YOOOO I NEED A SCREENSHOT OF THAT ART WITH THOR AND LOKI

ALL OF IT

Soooo in this world, Odin was a good dude and didn’t kidnap Loki and gave him back to Laufey? (Didnt Laufey abandon him tho since he was too small? I guess in this universe they simply… lost their prince? Lmao?)

Thor didn’t have Loki as his voice of reason I called it.

Night night Odin

Lmao Chad Frigga dipping Odin as soon as he’s asleep

I wonder if they got Idris Elba back for Heimdall?

“We are going to the most backward, backwater planet that not even Heimdall pays attention to.” D,: Thor why you gotta do me dirty like that???

Chris Hemsworth is definitely a better voice actor than some others

Oh yo it be Skurge

Darcy into probing huh?

(Romantic Music Playing) lmao

Man I love Darcy

Poor Howard the Duck lmao (oh yea that’s Seth green)

Skrulls huh

Honestly surprised Thor knows all of these planets. Including the grandmaster??? In the sacred timeline he didn’t even know Sakaar existed.

Wait so, are the Asgardians on good terms with Jotunheim then? If so, I wanna see party loki. Or maybe he’s too reserved for that. I wonder how Laufey raised him? IF WE DONT SEE JOTUN LOKI IM GONNA RIOT

Thor destroyed a star. That sounds about right

“Now that was an excellent party. You know, we lost Fandral for three days. Found him in a barn, curled up next to a baby goat. It was classic. Isn’t that right, Fandral?” “I NAMED HIM GARY!” “Yeah, you did.” “YEA GOATS!” Okay. Screw everyone else in the MCU. I love Fandral now. He’s the GOAT, pun intended

Oh not a star, he killed a whole planet.

I thought Asgardians were supposed to be more advanced than earth but making a tablet is so complicated?

Howard and Darcy was not a pair I thought expected

Yo it’s nebula and korg? So where’s Thanos? How is nebula allowed to go partying with Thanos looking for the infinity stones?

Drax too? Isn’t he in prison? And then Valkyrie? Seems like a lot more than just Thor being an only child is different in this universe. Most of these dudes should hypothetically be in prison or on super serious missions. And I just thought, isn’t Howard the duck imprisoned by the Collector? What’s the timeline for this?

DARCY MARRIES HOWARD THE DUCK? GIRL YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN HIM AND HIS CORKSCREW WANG!

Aaaaaand Jane and Thor got magic and science tattoos. Mighty fast character progression.

Oh? Hookups? That took a turn.

Awwwww Fandral snuggling with a bunch of Chinchilla looking animals <3

Unknown caller?

Dammit Rumlow

Rocket???

Acting director??? What happened to Nick???

KORG NO

Damn everyone crashed at Jane’s

I mean, didn’t seem like too much of a threat

PHIL!!!

Lmao the world isn’t gonna be destroyed by parties?

Oh Carol Danvers?

Okay so…. Lemme get this straight..

Loki and an army of aliens attacking the world? Shield: “nah not a threat.” Robot with robot army threatening to destroy the whole planet “nah Carol has better things to do.” A partying dude from space with no ill intent but just doesn’t seem to understand consequences? “CALL CAPTAIN MARVEL WE NEED HER!!!” Yea okay Shield

Thor loves waffles

LOKI

JOTUN LOKI

HES HERE

LOKI!!!

HOLY CRAP HES HUGE

HE HAS ICE HORNS

See everything would be better without Odin’s interference.

(That’s what she said)

YAY THEYRE FRIENDS

“You’re my brother form another mother man.” YOOOOOO

Loki just sang “Brothers foreveeeeerrrrr!” I can’t—

Aaaaaand fart jokes… “did you boom?” “I never boom. I only boom in private.” Dammit marvel I hoped you were better than this.

LOKI MAKE A WISH

White snake? Lmao where did she get that name lol.

What’s wrong with a party tho? Is this really top priority? Yea they destroyed another planet, but you never explained how

Why doesn’t she sound like Brie Larson? She’s still acting for Marvel Studios so it’s interesting they couldn’t get her for it… unless it is her and I just can’t remember how her voice sounds

Was that punch really necessary? Dude wasn’t posing a threat to anyone.

“You know, there’s a Midgardian word for women like you.” THOR NO—

“PARTY POOPER!” Oh thank God

“This ones for fury” but it wasn’t even Thor that hit him? It was korg and on accident! Cmon carol, I had hoped you’d be smarter than this and more reasonable. Not resorting to violence when nothing has even escalated…

Haha hammer to the face

And the back of the head lmao

BAHAHAHAHA HE JUST SMACKED HER INTO ANOTHER COUNTRY

THOR DONT BOOP STONEHENGE

Dammit Thor

Lmao I love that the countries have their names on them.

Okay just stay and fight here away from civilian population

Marvel really giving us what we want with the most powerful characters fighting

Mary Sue Captain Marvel

Her lipstick has stayed perfect somehow

Fighting in a storm eh? Can’t see how this could go wrong

Haha hammer timeout

Lmao I wanna see Frigga put Thor in a timeout

They’re chanting pooper at her. Is this elementary school again?

Bruh I just realized, Thor is supposed to be acting king while Odin is in Odin sleep lmao. I bet Asgard is going to either be in the best peace ever without Thor or utterly destroyed.

Leave south and north Dakota alone lol

Lmao I love Darcy

YAY GARY THE GOAT WAS SAFE

Wow Jane used the L word fast

Kicking Jane out of the helicarrier? Yea smart move kicking off the person who actually knows anything about this albeit she is a little blinded by love

Giant Loki holding a tiny phone

BAHAHAAHAHA “hey earth girl, you haven’t got a friend, have you!” YES LOKI ITS ME. MARRY ME

Stop throwing phones lmao

BRUH HOW IS SURTUR NOT EVIL EITHER? AND STOP FLIRTING WITH THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.

NO HE DESTROYED HER ARM LMAO

There goes the power grid

NOT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

Lmao there he goes

WHY DID KORG HAVE A PACIFIER IN HIS MOUTH

Bout time Heimdall popped in

Aaaaaand Jane got abducted by heimdall

Seeing as Heimdall hasn’t said anything, I’m assuming they didn’t get Idris back lol.

How is shield so chill on murdering Thor? Yes he’s destructive but they’re resorting to killing him so fast instead of talking to him! No one has even told him he’s putting the planet at risk! Dudes too dumb to know on his own!

JANE STOP DRINKING

Damn Maria Hill I had higher hopes for you

Lying Thor

Okay so shield trusts Frigga to help, but still irks me that shield was so trigger/nuke happy… seems the opposite of what we’ve seen of them (ugh just gotta ignore it and chock it up to this being an alternate reality)

Ew Drax

Loki calling the other jotuns “ice bros” lmao

It’s also mantis and Yondu!!

wait how did grandmaster just teleport away like the bifrost?

Nice going thor. You big hunky dummy

“MY MOTHER IS COMING.” Good lord is this high school now lmao???

How do they all know Frigga and why are they all afraid?

Damn the bifrost takes a lot longer than I would have expected

No no Thor the tower of pisa is meant to be tilted—oh whatever

Wait, but I don’t see loki helping, is he gonna be up to something last minute to ruin Thor’s cover up lmao?

I don’t believe Frigga would be tricked this easily lmao

Thor you are such a bad liar

Lmao here comes carol

Hahaha how did mjolnir get so trashed

Wow thor is so much taller than Jane

Wow this Jane and Thor seem to have more chemistry than the sacred timeline version ever did

Wait I want resolve for Loki!!

Uh oh

WHAT

ULTRON VISION WITH THE INFINITY STONES?? HOW

No resolution for that??? Well then. Rip this universe too lmao

Damn I wanted more Loki

There better be a Loki centric episode sometime. If they didn’t it’d a huge missed opportunity from marvel

Okay yea looking at the credits, Carol Danvers wasn’t played by Brie Larson but a lady named Alexandra Daniels. Odd they didn’t get Brie Larson.

Probably my favorite episode so far even with how absurd it was. A lot more upbeat than the past few ones with a better resolve to the story imo.

Also, if anyone can provide me of screenshots of Loki from this episode I would be very grateful

[cherrytdatt]

what a shame we're fucked in the head (au)

Pairing: peter parker x reader

Word count: ~1.7k

Summary: peter and y/n always find it easier to be fwb than assuming their feeling for each other 

A/N: this was in my drafts for the longest time and i'm just getting rid of it. this is an au but they are still superheroes.

Warnings: drug use and mention of sex

"What up, loser?" you heard a familiar voice say behind you. You turned your head, recognizing his silhouette. "Abandoning the party?" Peter chuckled, sitting by your side on the edge of the building.

"Making my own party," you said with a weak smile, raising your hand that held a joint you lazily made a few minutes ago.

"Oh! And didn't call me?" he asked with an offended look.

"Sorry. I thought you were having fun inside," you said, passing the cigar to him.

"Sure. Cause seeing Banner and Rogers fighting over some mysterious hallucinogen that Banner's dad accidentally made on the lab is so much more fun than relaxing and talking to you," he took a pull of the cigar, without looking at you. You stared at his side profile, admiring every inch of his face. His eyes that were shining with the city lights, the small smirk that never left his face, the sharp angle his jaw made even when he was relaxed, and the curls that fell plainly on his forehead.

You and Peter had a lot in common, you were Stephen Stranger's daughter, and Peter was adopted by Tony Stark at the age of three. As everyone knows, those two were the most rich and arrogant superheroes to walk on this earth or any other planet. So you two understood how hard your life was growing up. Don't get me wrong, both were great parents, but they didn't think twice before pressuring you two to be the best amongst all the other superheroes' kids. Besides that, there were the absent parents, and all the ego fights that you two had to deal with daily.

"That thing's dangerous," you said, shaking your head. "Banner and Rhodes took that last week, and they blacked out for forty eight hours after almost jumping from the top of the Stark Tower!" Peter handed you the cigar.

"That would make my dad so happy," Peter said sarcastically, making you laugh, just thinking about the bad press that two superheroes' kids jumping from the most expensive building in New York would cause for Tony Stark. "These kids are crazy," he finished when your laugh faded out.

All the Avengers kids formed some type of clan that was known for excessive partying, drugs, and doing crazy shit around town that usually caused some sort of damage physical or financial. After all, be raised by babysitters while your parents fought against aliens and robots wasn't easy. You, Peter, Shuri, and Magni, Thor's son, were the only ones that tried to follow your parents' steps and become superheroes, but that didn't keep you from partying and doing crazy things sometimes. The difference was, You, Peter, and Shuri usually do it without drawing attention, and Magni did it on other planets.

"Cause you and I are not damaged by our dads 'jobs', right?" you looked at him.

"I rather not talk about it," Peter joked, and you laughed. "So, how is your life?" he asked, staring at the city view from Will Maximoff's penthouse, where the party was happening.

"Same old. Studying and being in the lab for hours, drinking, and smoking weed the rest of the time, sometimes studying and smoking at the same time. I don't even know anymore," you took a pull from the joint. Even though your dad's power was like some type of magic, he always made you study very hard and you two worked on your lab developing nanotechnology and other things to help the Avengers. Sometimes you worked with Mr. Bruce, Shuri, or even Tony although he wasn't your dad's favorite. "And you?"

"I'm spending my days at the lab, improving my suit," he shrugged. "And waiting for you to call me," he finished, looking at you, and you chocked a little.

"Waiting for me to call you?" you coughed. "You have my number. You can call me," you said, looking at him.

"I'm always the one that calls you," he said nonchalantly.

"And?" you asked, holding a smile.

"A man gets tired..." he scratched the back of his head, shrugging and looking away from you.

"You know I don't mind you calling me," you stated. "And you also know I'm not gonna get in the middle of your commitment issues," your voice was lower.

"I didn't have a commitment issue with you," Peter defended himself.

You two were more than friends, and that was clear to everyone that had eyes. Everything started on the night of your nineteenth birthday. Your parents were out of town, and you decided it was a good idea to close an entire club in New York to have the biggest party you could think of. After using almost every drug in the building, you still felt alone, and the only person you could think about was Peter. He was at the party, but you barely saw him. At 2 a.m. you called him, and you finally hooked up. But, unlike what everyone was thinking, your 'relationship' didn't go further than occasionally making out, sleeping together and then you two wouldn't talk for two or three weeks after that. You, obviously, liked him, but Peter never dated any girl for more than two weeks, so you came to the conclusion that, even with your feelings, this 'friends with benefits' relationship was the best you could do.

"Yeah, right!" you laughed. "And that bullshit you pulled out last year was your way of committing," you joked, remembering the day he showed up in your father's cabin, knowing you would be there alone, and left the next morning without saying a word.

"You know why I did that," he sighed.

"I honestly don't," you chuckled, looking at him, waiting for his excuse.

"You told me you wanted to be alone! I was there just to make sure you were okay and then did what you want," he explained, his hands moving around anxiously.

"Are you stupid or what?" you got up, not believing how someone so smart could be so oblivious.

"What?" he asked, confused with your reaction.

"I wanted to be alone with you, dumbass. That's why I texted you my exact location," you said, pointing at him.

"Oh!" he was honestly surprised, his eyes widened in realization.

"You are dumb..." you concluded, the corners of your lips going up, forming a smile.

"I'm not dumb! I'm just..." Peter got up.

"Hard to commit," you said, knowingly.

"Oh, shut up!" he held a laugh. "You are not that great either. I lost count of how many times you ghosted me or avoided me," he accused you, and your eyes avoided his because you knew you the times you ran away from him.

"Do you...uh..." you gulped, afraid of the damage that your next words could cause. Peter studied your expression, knowing you were struggling with your thoughts. You took one more pull from the joint, trying to gather all your courage. "Do you think we will work..." you glanced at him for a split second. "I mean... in the future... you think we could work... if we tried?" you stuttered, regret already filling your chest.

"I don't like parties, you know?" Peter said, and you looked at him. Half confused and half cursing yourself for asking anything. Was he changing the subject just to avoid the question? "I mean... I like them sometimes but not every weekend," he said, looking at the buildings around.

"It's not what it looks like since I only bump into you at parties," you said with a weak smile.

"That's because I go to all the parties you go," he confessed. "When you're out of town or just at your house, I spend my night working in the lab or fighting small crimes in town," he glanced at you. You looked at him, not fully understanding what he was saying. "What I meant is..." he stared at you, and you felt the air being pulled out of your lungs by his intense eyes. "I really like you... and I hope we can work things out when you're ready," he smiled.

"Hey, Parker!" William Maximoff called, and both of you looked at him. "It's your turn on the beer pong," he yelled.

"I'm coming," Peter laughed at him, and the boy walked back inside, laughing, with some girl you didn't know, pulling him by his hand. "I'm going in..." he told you in a low voice, and you looked at him again.

"Yeah... okay," you muttered, the things he said still being processed in your head.

He stared at you, and you felt in his eyes that he was pondering on doing something. Peter took a step towards you, his face a few inches from yours, and you looked at him, feeling his hot breath in your mouth. You parted your lips, already anticipating what was coming. Peter's hand came to your face, touching gently your cheek, his eyes staring deeply into yours. You moved your face up, finally ending the distance between you two. You moved your hands to his neck, tugging at his hair, feeling his soft lips against yours, and he held your waist with his free arm. The kiss started slow but soon became needy and eager, your tongues colliding and moving in synch, traveling through every inch of each other's mouth. You captured his bottom lip between your teeth, causing him to moan softly, his hand going down to squeeze your butt. 

"I really missed you," he whispered against your lips.

"Peter..." you started you a hesitant voice.

"I have to go," he said before you could say anything else. Peter took a step back, glancing between the party and you. His arms left your body, and you felt cold without his touch. He gave you a small smile, putting his hands in his pockets, walking away from you. You turned slowly to look at the buildings, not ready to go back to the party yet.

"Y/n," you heard Peter call, and you turned to look at him. "Call me when you decide to go home." he smiled and grabbed the doorknob. You nodded at him, and he ran his hand through his hair. "I'm gonna kick your ass, Will," he yelled when the noise from the party invaded your ears, and then everything was silent again.

You stared at the buildings, feeling the fear from loving Peter more than you loved anyone else in your life invade you.

[laurenhufflepuff2]

A list of fandoms I'm in (in no particular order, will probably be updated regularly. Some fandoms are more intense and some are more casual. Depending on the fandom, I could go on and on about fandom topics for HOURS. Let's get into it!)

Harry Potter, Disney, Marvel, DC comics, Miraculous Ladybug, Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra, Star Wars, Literature, Winx Club, Nintendo, Minecraft, Little Witch Academia, Voltron, Coraline

Details:

Harry Potter- I got into Harry Potter in 7th grade and now I am the resident expert in my family and in my friend group. I read all the books, watched all the movies (notably the British version), and I've seen the Fantastic Beasts films as well. I've also read Tales of Beedle the Bard (the Warlock's Hairy Heart was traumatizing) along with the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them textbook (plus an updated edition). I also read The Cursed Child script and while I mean no hate to anyone that liked it, I hated what it did to the canon. I am in Hufflepuff with some Ravenclaw tendencies (I took the Pottermore quiz 3 times, 2 out of 3 I got Hufflepuff, the other time was Ravenclaw). I had a pottermore account and I was so upset when it got converted to the Wizarding World page. I cosplayed Hermione in 7th grade complete with British accent and even monologued as her for a talent show (classmates and teachers would recognize me as the Hermione girl all the way through high school). I was obsessed and I still love it even if J.K. Rowling has gone off the deep end on Twitter... yeah... my favorite character is Hermione but I also relate to Luna

Disney- there's so much that goes into the Disney part of my fandom list. I'm excluding Marvel and Star Wars from this part as they were originally separate entities before Disney got the rights to them. I have seen almost every animated Disney film ever and often use random movie quotes in conversation. My favorite villain is Maleficent, my favorite princess is Ariel (followed by Belle, Rapunzel, and Anna). I relate to so many of the characters. I'm not sure who my favorite Pixar character is though (I love Violet, Sadness, Dory, and Piper (from the short)). My favorite Disney fairy is Fawn. My favorite characters overall are Ariel and Stitch. Disney is definitely on the list as one of my biggest obsessions. My favorite movies are Lilo and Stitch, the Little Mermaid, Inside Out, Alice in Wonderland (original), and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

Marvel- I mostly get my Marvel exposure through the MCU, other movies, and animated TV shows. I have difficulty reading graphic novels so most of my comic book knowledge comes from friends, posts, or wikis. My favorite characters are Spider-Man, Captain America, Peggy Carter, and Scarlet Witch. I also like Gwenpool, Deadpool, Spider-Gwen/ Ghost-Spider, Venom, Squirrel Girl, Daredevil, Mantis, Gamora, Black Widow, Iron Man, Thor, Loki, Bucky, Black Panther, and most MCU characters. Out of the X-men I really like Professor X, Wolverine, Mystique, Magneto, Nightcrawler, and Quicksilver (either version- MCU or Fox).

DC- this was the franchise I was more familiar with growing up but again, graphic novels aren't easy for me to read so most of my knowledge comes from information pages about the comics or from tv/movies. My earliest experience with DC came from the 60s Batman series, with Catwoman and Robin being my favorites. I also watched the Wonder Woman series from the 70s and a handful of CW shows, my favorite of which being the Flash and Arrow. I also managed to watch all 5 seasons of the Teen Titans Cartoon Network series from 2003. With that being said, my favorite characters are Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Flash, Batman, Nightwing/Robin (Dick Grayson), Green Arrow, Starfire, Raven, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Alfred. I also like most of the bat family, and when it comes to CW I LOVE Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost and Cisco.

Miraculous- this is one of my guilty fandoms but since this is Tumblr I'm not too worried about it. I love Marinette and I relate to her on an astoundingly deep level (minus the stalking and obsession with potential lovers, that's creepy). If I had a miraculous, I'd probably want the Ladybug one, but the Cat miraculous, fox miraculous, and snake miraculous are good too. My favorite character is Marinette/Ladybug.

Atla/Tlok- I jumped on the avatar bandwagon just when it was starting to get popular, so I managed to get through the series before the memes took over everything. Same with Tlok, although i couldn't completely avoid the spoilers for that when i started it. I've been wanting to get into the comics because of the short story comics I've read, they seem easier to read than superhero comics. My favorite characters are Aang, Katara, Ty Lee, Iroh, Korra, Jinora, Asami, Suki, Appa, Momo, Naga, and Pabu. I also like Sokka, Mai, Zuko, Lin, Kuvira, Varrick, Zhu Lee, and Azula. I feel really sorry for her and while I understand that a redemption arc would undermine the importance of her corruption arc, I still wish she could have one. I would love to be a waterbender or an airbender... maybe a waterbender raised in the air nation? Obviously, being the avatar itself would be awesome. The show has taught me a lot of great lessons and put a lot of stuff into perspective for me.

Star Wars- oh boy, talking about this one is dangerous. I've seen firsthand the horrors of the Star Wars fandom but then again no one will probably see this anyway so... I've seen all the movies and I remember watching the clone wars series with my brother when I was younger but we fell wayyy behind and it's taking us forever to get back into it. I've also seen the Mandalorian and quite enjoyed it. I like the prequels unironically, in fact, the prequels are some of my favorite movies. I especially like how they switched from lightsabers being heavy weapons to light weapons that can be used for all kinds of tricks that make for epic battles like the ones we see in Revenge of the Sith. The sequels were fun to watch but when I would analyze them along side their predecessors, I came to the conclusion that, for me, they were good to watch but did not do anything good for the rest of the franchise. My favorite characters are prequels/clone wars Obi Wan and Anakin, Padme, Ashoka, Leia, R2D2, BB-8, R4-P17, the Mandalorian (Din Djarin), and Grogu. If I had a lightsaber I'd want it to be blue, but when I was little I got a purple one like Mace Windu because it was closer to pink and I was into pink at the time. I still have that lightsaber and none of my friends have a purple one so it's one of my flexes. I feel like I wouldn't make a good jedi because of attachments being forbidden, so I'd probably become a grey jedi.

Literature- this is a broad term I use to cover all the random books and stories I liked reading and have studied. So we have Shakespeare (Macbeth, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo and Juliet), The Great Gatsby (bored while reading, loved to analyze), Grendel (HATED reading, loved to analyze, Grendel really needed a hug and a friend), The Crucible, Fahrenheit 451, Dark Life (+ the sequel Riptide, both are by Kat Falls good reads, sci-fi and kind of dystopian), The Once and Future King

Winx Club- I think the show is trashy but I still love watching it. I haven't been able to get through season 6 though and I hated what they did with season 8 and Fate: the Winx Saga. My favorite character is Bloom along with Stella and Flora. I prefer rai to nick. My favorite transformations are magic winx, enchantix, and harmonix. My favorite member of the Trix is Icy followed by Darcy. My favorite Pixies are Chatta and Lockette.

Nintendo- mainly Pokémon above all else, followed by Animal Crossing. I have also played (mostly as player 2 or just never beat or watched my brother play) mario games, legend of zelda, pikmin, and kirby. Games I haven't played but I just liked the characters/the lore and probably learned about through Super Smash Bros. are Fire Emblem (Lucina mostly), Metroid (Samus and baby metroid), and Kid Icarus. Pokémon is where I'm most knowledgeable but you'll most likely beat me in battle. I am however great at MarioKart and I always destroy my friends at it. Terrible at fighting games though.

Minecraft- I like playing this casually. Sure, I'll play for hours and hours on end for months, but I prefer to stay exclusively in peaceful when playing Survival mode and I don't make anything too ambitious in Creative mode. I like to write, so sometimes I'll make a rough layout of the settings of my stories in different worlds. I prefer interior design and decorating when building, and when in survival mode I focus more on mining and gathering while my brother works on ambitious building projects. I just bring him the raw materials and furnish the interior when he finishes the outside.

Little Witch Academia- this takes up a smaller portion of my fandom list because there were only 2 seasons and a couple movies and I watched the whole series years ago, but I still enjoy it. At one point I wanted to cosplay Akko, and I loved the nod at Twilight through the Nightfall series. And I especially liked the twist that Shiny Chariot was Ursula, which I suspected for some time. The blend between magic and technology was fun to see, but I was so sad that the series ended RIGHT when Akko finally showed signs of magic proficiency. Also, Shiny Chariot being the reason Akko couldn't do magic was heartbreaking.

Voltron- this takes up a much smaller portion of my fandom list mainly because I haven't even finished it. I know hardly anything about Transformers aside from the Bumblebee movie so to me I just watch it for fun. It reminds me of power rangers, star wars, and star trek, and then there's just a transformer insert. But I don't know anything about Transformers so maybe the show is more rooted in canon than I think.

Coraline- I am in a love-hate relationship with Coraline. I have watched the movie several times, I've read the book, I've watched hours of theories and analyses on youtube, I've watched behind the scenes videos by Laika, and I even wrote a script for a fan film parody. I am amazed at how original the story is and how impressive the stop motion animation is but I also have recurring nightmares from it and it scares me/creeps me out to the max. If anyone asks what my scariness limit is, it's definitely Coraline.

[the-mushroom-cryptid]

That Sounds Beautiful to Me (Loki x chubby reader)

"Hey, you were pretty good." Y/n jumped at hearing a voice call out to her after she exited the back door of the club.

She brought her hands up, reminiscent of the movement to surrender, not that the shadowy figure in the alley would know, but the connotation of the movement was quite the contrary to what it meant to her. She was readying to fight. "Please don't rape me."

"Rape you?!" The man sputtered as he stepped out of the shadows. "I swear upon the wealth of my entire industry that I won't touch you without your explicit permission. I just wanted to know if you were available for private bookings."

Y/n froze at the sight of Tony Stark standing in front of her and she struggled to keep her tongue from tripping over the words that she forced out of her mouth. "Never done any, but sure."

"Cool." He handed her his personal card. "Call if anything comes up. Next Friday, show up at Stark Tower at 5pm, the party doesn't start till 6, but I want to let you get comfortable with the equipment."

He got into his car at the edge of the alley, but before he drove off, he rolled the window down to speak to Y/n once more. "Oh, and I'm paying you $6,000 for this one."

Y/n's jaw went slack as Stark drove off, chuckling to himself.

---

It was through that gig and with the other Avengers present that Tony found out about Y/n's ability to manipulate soundwaves. Tony had made the decision to take her into the Tower with the rest of the Avengers. Tony kept her from Fury's wrath even though she eventually did join the Avengers as unconventional as a plus size lady superhero was. He would do nothing less for the lady he had grown to see as his sister.

That outlook on Y/n was also what made him wary when she had grown close to Loki. Despite being sent to serve Earth as payment for his crimes against it, he was still a trickster. His fears soon proved to be unfounded when he observed the dynamics between the two of them. Instead of Loki corrupting Y/n, it seemed that she was corrupting him in a way. Much like Jane Foster had grown close to Thor, so did Y/n grow close to Loki. She had shown him a wide array of bands and artists that she had favored songs from; Marilyn Manson, AC DC, Aerosmith, and the Beetles, just to name a few. Her favorites soon became his too, and it was common to find them relaxing to seemingly unrelaxing music in the background.

---

Y/n had taken Loki out again, wanting to teach Loki more about Midguardian customs. This time, she was taking him to the American Museum of Natural History, as they had just watched the Night at the Museum movies the previous day. Of course it was different from the movie, something they were discussing in front of the giant Easter Island head.

"You are certain that it doesn't talk?"

"Yes, I'm certain."

"I could make it talk."

"Loki, no." He grumbled under his breath, but perked up at her next offer. "We could buy a mini one at the gift shop and you could make that one talk. We could scare Tony with it too."

Loki grinned at Y/n, who had moved to read the plaque about the statue.

Whispers behind the pair soon drew their attention. A frown forming on both of their faces as they glanced at the couple of girls behind them. One was a blonde, and the other was a clearly dyed red head, each giggling to each other, speaking louder now that they had an audience of whom they were speaking.

"I still don't understand why the Tony Stark would want a fat DJ."

"Yeah, I know. She's so ugly. I think that Mr. Stark would want someone skinnier, some eye candy, not a fat ass who can't control her eating habits."

Y/n turned away, tears brimming her eyes. Loki turned from the two with a sneer, cupping Y/n's face in his hands.

He spoke loud enough for the occupants of the room to hear him, but not enough to be obnoxious. "You may not be as thin as many of the other Midguardians, but that does not mean that you are ugly. You are, by far, the most beautiful woman that I have had the pleasure of meeting. Let me show you."

With that he stepped back, and with a wave of his hand, green tendrils of his magic surrounded her, transforming her jeans and plaid shirt into an emerald green dress to match the dress shirt that he was wearing.

"Now, will you be, as you Midguardians say, my girlfriend, my Queen?" He whispered his last two words as he stepped to his previous close proximity. He formed a delicate gold and emerald crown in his hands and held it between them.

A tear escaped down her cheek, not of sorrow, but of happiness, as she whispered a yes as she nodded her head.

He placed the crown on her head and grasped her hand as they walked out of the exhibit hallway as the other occupants of the room cheered except for the two who had mocked Y/n previously.

Loki smirked as Y/n grinned through a blush on her cheeks.

Bonus Scene:

Marilyn Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams was playing quietly in the common room as Y/n lounged on the couch with Loki. The former painting the latter's nails the darkest shade of black that they could find on their stop into a store on their way home. Their purchases were all put away, save for the Easter Island head that rested on the island countertop of the common area kitchen.

Tony came in from the elevator, going to the bar to get a drink before settling down with Y/n and Loki. He paused at the head on the counter, but before he could get a word out to Y/n, the think spoke.

"Dum Dum give me gum gum."

Tony gave a shout of surprise as he fell back, nearly knocking his head on the counter. He swore at Loki and Y/n from his spot on the floor as they laughed from the couch.

Episode 3-Play by Play Reactions (Spoilers)

I’m so excited

Previously on? Oh please like I need a reminder of what I’ve been obsessing over forever

I miss Randy

This reminds me, how did that person know where the timekeepers are? I’d assume only someone of the status of Judge Renslayer would know.

Ooh funky beat

Oh lunch with Sylvie and that one soldier?

I don’t think that’s what a brain freeze is lmao

Oh they’re friends? Or is Sylvie just in her head?

Hmmmmmm

Poor girl

Oh yup

Oop—

I like the opening thing, but I was kinda hopeful that it’d change from episode to episode like wandavision

Lmao not the best security I gotta say

Yo magic don’t work here girly

Oh she just murdered that guy

Nice moves!

Oh that guy is dead too

GET HER LOKI

MY BOY GOT HIS KNIVES

See TVA, this is why guns are nice. You don’t need to engage in hand to hand combat

Oh her hair is up in the back. Cute.

Looking out for each other.

Soooo why no likey being called Loki?

Bonding?

No?

Hello?

Hahahahaha she can’t enchant him

What’s her issue?

No that’s not the reason he saved you. He’s just not a murderer like you.

And what’s your plan?

Cmon girl, spill. What’s your background?

Fast pace episode, gotta say.

Sky kinda looks like a painting.

Sylvie, you shut up. Don’t be rude.

“That’s not who I am anymore.” Sooo she WAS one? Sylvie just an alias?

Seems like the theories about them combining lady Loki and Sylvie together are potentially coming true.

Collapse of society? My favorite pastime!

Cmon kids, get along.

Skull kid has to be somewhere around here. (G-get it? Majora’s mask? Anyone? No? Okay...)

Get yeeted

Lmaooo

Oop shape shifting time

Oh this poor lady

Oh lmaoooooooooo

That didn’t go well

Neat weapon.

That sword she has, is that the one Loki later gets?

I hope Sylvie has a good explanation for things...

Ahhhhh the blue outfits. Turtleneck Loki soon???

Lmaoooooooo nice plan loki

Uh oh rich people

Kinda heavy handed line delivery

Lmaoooo teamwork

What’s gonna work? Teeeaaaaamwork

Can’t wait for Loki to throw someone out the window

TURTLENECK LOKI

Loki is such a pain lol. But she deserves it.

Frigga my Queen

Oh no

Emotions

Please no

Spoiler lmao

What the heck Sylvie lucky

Or not?

What happened to her?

BONDING

WE STAN SUPPORTIVE FRIGGA

Teach Loki that magic!

I wonder how Sylvie’s past was so different than Loki’s? Wouldn’t that make her whole family variants for stepping off the scared timelines path? Why didn’t the TVA act sooner then?

I’m so happy seeing so much more of Loki’s magic.

“Love is hate.”

Loki is such a wonderful pain

Is this flirting???

Of course loki flirts with Loki

Soooo Loki dated?

“Love is mischief then.” “No. Love is... uh something I might have to have another drink to think about.”

We getting Loki drinking and talking about love. Huh.

Oh my gosh is he drunk?

Yep he’s drunk

How does an asgardian get drunk?

Now we have Loki singing in Asgardian

Seems like it’s hitting to close to home for Sylvie mayhaps?

Tom, your theatre kid is showing.

BAHAHAHAHAHHA HE PULLED A THOR OH MY GOSH

Loki dammit. Stop being drunk.

Please please please don’t make Loki a joke. Please. Please. Please. Cmon Loki.

Love?

“Love is a dagger. It’s a weapon to be wielded far away or up close. You can see yourself in it. It’s beautiful. Until it makes you bleed. But ultimately when you reach for it.” “It isn’t real.”

You were close there.

Fight?

Do it!

Please.

Loki can’t just fabricate tickets?

Hey

Did he just break that guys hand lmao

Nice Sylvie. Using your headpiece as a weapon. Copying Ragnarok Loki

Loki missed? Must be cuz he’s drunk.

Aaaaaand Loki was thrown out the window. Why does this keep happening to him? First dark world by Thor.

A little nervous rn with Loki... he seems to be a bit of a joke rn which is what I was afraid of. I hope this is just a little thing and that they’re not trying to make Sylvie better than Tom Hiddleston’s Loki. I mean, you could chalk it up to this Loki being a variant, so maybe there are other things different about him, but that begs to question, at what point does the TVA step in? We saw other Loki variants in that little hologram display in episode two that seemed like those Lokis had done a lot already.

Now now Sylvie, ahem... “LANGUAGE!”

Bragging about hedonism?

Temper tantrum

Cmon therapist Loki

Sober up Loki.

Scene from the trailer I presume.

TVA should step in soon huh? Or is this another apocalypse with no survivors so it doesn’t get picked up on.

Save this world Loki. Trigger the TVA.

Oh. So no trailer scene yet?

Lazy Loki

Cmon Sylvie, teach him! Maybe he can teach you something!

How on earth is Sylvie so different from Loki? I’m so confused.

I hope Loki is able to learn how to do this.

Wait I thought the TVA workers were made.

THEYRE ALL VARIANTS TOO????

BROOOOOOOOO

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

So they’re ALL variants? Soooo, the timekeepers are like running a labor camp? If they have no memories, then what do they think happens when a new worker shows up?

Oh man this is like ragnarok ptsd for Loki if he went through it

Very cool set I gotta say

Also very sad. So many people desperate for their lives.

Major Majora’s Mask vibes

MY BOY HAS SUCH STRONG TELEKINESIS

Tom Hiddleston really said “soooo this is all that Loki CAN do but hasn’t been able to do in the past movies. Soooooo now we’re gonna make him do ALL of it.”

Wait... that’s it????? Why did this feel like the shortest episode so far? I think it was. And the ark was destroyed.

I have so many more questions now, mostly about Sylvie. But also concerns. I really hope they are able to balance series loki with mischievous and clever and silly Loki. And I hope they don’t try to push some kind of female Loki is superior thing (I haven’t gotten that vibe yet, but it’s always a concern for me whenever I see a supposedly gender bent version of a character).

I’m having trouble forming the words for my thoughts. This episode was fun and pretty and intriguing, but probably the weakest for the three so far imo. Not to say it was bad, but it felt kind of like it was amping, then plateaued and then ended. Like we barely got much more information, but more questions and set up but it felt like it ended too quickly. Like more was supposed to happen for this episode but it didn’t.

I hope we can find a way to hear Loki sing in asgardian again, but under less jokey pretenses.
