SLADE: A Deathstroke Fancomic #3
Part II
And here’s the second part! I hope none or this is being too confusing, the idea for this story was to be jumping and alternate between the night of the incident that would change Joey’s life forever, and a moment we have never seen before in a comic, the first time after the incident when both finally see each other again ,with now Joe living with his mom Adeline and Slade keeping Grant after the divorce. Adeline is looking for Slade desperately but Joe manages to meet Slade thanks to Isherwood who is a close friend of the family but who is still working for Slade, Joe wants to show Slade his powers for the first time instead of what it was inferred to be their first reunion on Judas Contract . I hope you are enjoying the story, please feel free to tell me anything you want! :)

SOMEONE GET DARLENE A GOOD MARTINI!!!
“That’s what I’m fucking saying!” Darlene declares.
“Do you really think that getting shitfaced will help this situation… at all?” Michelle interjected from the background as she walked by. Her sleepy voice indicating that she just woke up.
“I didn’t say it’d help, I just think it’d be better than just… sitting around waiting for something to happen.” Darlene muttered in response.
In the back more shuffling is heard as Michelle moves to get some coffee. Darlene continues speaking to the mic.
“I mean… I’m stuck on this shithole island and I can’t even have a smoke?” She asks no one in particular in an annoyed voice.
“Anyways… bye for now.” The recording ends.

Let’s talk about your father
The night after the arcade Sam invites Alan over for a talk. Only, taking back Encom isn’t exactly what’s on his mind. The pair have a drink and end up talking about Flynn and sharing more than they intended.
Whoops 👀. Smaller fic before I get started on my big multi chapter. Daddy issues supreme.
@nico-di-genova
Still relatively new to Sam and legacy content but I think I did pretty good.

"Who Would Have Thought" is a unintentionally a really funny old fanfic because it somehow predicted Kenny having a little sister despite Karen not officially existing until 2005 and also because of this bit of dialogue after 20 crazy plot twists
#kevin x shelly being this old really killed me like omg this ship is so old lmao#i wonder if people just saw kevin in starvin marving#and immediatly thought he should get with shelly#like the more things change the more stay the same#also bisexuality rarely pops up in ancients fanfics so props to the author for knowing there are more sexualities than straight and gay#my post#stuff for me

PJO & SPIDER-MAN FIC REC
Cracticus tibicen by AlzazelSustrai
Summary:
Flash Thompson hates water polo days. He's definitely not a simp, as the internet lingo calls the, not for the handsome stranger who walks in looking for Peter Parker one day. Absolutely not. No way. He could never. Be a simp, that is. Obviously.
A funny one-short of Percy from Flash's point of view.

Yeah, like he needed an excuse to come upstairs. He REALLY wants Tony to know. 🤠
Strange Love (Part 5)
Pairing: Doctor!Strange x Fem!Reader
Synopsis: When planning a new mission, Y/n ends up getting into a confrontation with one of the Avengers. Meanwhile, Stephen tries to convince her that she needs to learn more about her powers before using them in battle.
Word Count: 6,9k
Warnings: Y/n hates a certain Avenger and has a rather peculiar view of things. This can be uncomfortable for some people who don't agree with her point of view. Other than that, we have sexual content, basically oral sex and penetration with no protection.
A/N: I'm going to endorse all of Y/n's words on the matter at hand because (obviously) that's also my point of view on the matter.
PREVIOUS CHAPTER
Chapter 5: Stand My Ground
Back in your apartment, you concentrated very hard not to think about Loki, but deep down you were feeling bad even though you knew you hadn't done anything wrong. You weren't cheating on Loki, you had been pretty honest about your feelings. You didn't feel the same way about him, something had changed and even if you hadn't said it word by word, he knew that Stephen Strange was responsible for this change. He just didn't know that the Stephen Strange of your universe was involved. You were happy. After so much suffering, you were feeling happy and you couldn't let guilt spoil that.
Tony and Pepper returned to the tower three days later on a busy Thursday. Natasha and Clint were there too, plus Banner and Rogers and Rhodes of course. You liked the feeling of having the Tower crowded with people you liked and cared about. Of course, if you could exclude Rogers from the equation you'd be happier, but that wasn't an option.
However, with Tony's return, you became aware of murmurs and conversations and soon you realized that something was going on, something they needed to sort out and that Tony wasn't telling you. You had no idea what it was and was too distracted to catch anything.
Your mind was lost on Stephen, always on him all day. It was your first thought when you woke up and the last when you went to sleep. You couldn’t deny you were in love with him. Those were definitely symptoms of passion.
Or love. Stephen’s voice sounded in your head and you were shocked.
I'm not the one doing this, sweetheart, you're actually distracting me from what I'm doing.
You smiled to yourself in total surprise. “Sorry, I don't know how I'm doing this.”
“What are you doing?” Tony asked coming in and approaching with both hands in his pocket.
Oops, dad caught us. Stephen’s voice teased you.
You concentrated on trying to end that mental link with him and were surprised when you could physically feel it slipping away. As if an uncomfortable pressure on the side of your head disappeared.
“You said you didn't know how you were doing it.”
You decided to stay close to the truth.
“This thing in my head, it's getting out of hand.”
He looked at you worriedly.
“Is everything okay, Tony?”
He smiled trying to hide his concern. “Well, I'm glad you mentioned that thing on your head... I need your help.”
You nodded. “Of course, whatever you need.”
He sat in the sofa next to you. There's a guy, we suspect he has weapons made with technology from Strucker's lab.
“What kind of weapons?” You asked already feeling anxious.
"The dangerous kind. Strucker was working with Loki's scepter.”
“The mind stone.”
Tony agreed.
“Does this guy have a name?”
Tony ran a hand over his face. “I don't know, Rogers knows him. I think he's called Crossbones." He shrugged “You know, nowadays any idiot gives himself a cool name...”
“What…?”
Tony looked at you surprised “Do you know him?”
You nodded. “Worked for Hydra. I know him, but Rogers knows him a lot better.”
Tony shooked his head. “Yeah, It looks like Rogers thought he was dead, but that's not what happened. He came to me asking for help to put an end to the guy.”
Your blood boiled in your veins and you got up. Why did everything that went wrong always have to be related to Steve Rogers?
“Lagos.”
“What’s that?” Tony seemed confused by your sudden irritation.
“Rogers lost him in Lagos. That's when it all happened. The Civil War.”
Tony didn't seem to keep up. “What civil war?”
You sighed in a rare moment of impatience with Tony. “People name big things that happens with the Avengers, Tony. I thought you knew that.” You sighed trying to stay calm. “That's not the point. The Civil War was when the Sokovia accords came out. The fight at Leipzig Airport, all that, that's what they call it.”
Tony nodded getting slightly more serious. Memories of the event flooded back to his mind, apparently.
“Rogers... everything that happened was his fault. What came later with the accords was a consequence of his actions and everything he did…”
Tony ran a hand over his face and seeing him shaken like that just by the memory of that event infuriated you even more, bringing out a protective instinct towards him that you didn't even know existed. Usually you were his protégé, but sometimes Tony needed someone to care for him. Though he liked the name, he was far from being iron made.
“What they did to you, the way they acted... and now he says he didn't solve the case?”
“Listen...” He ran his hand over his face. “I'm not going to defend the guy, he screwed up, but we need to solve this.”
“How can you take this so calmly? Tony, I cried all night when I saw what he did to you.”
Tony took your hand in his. “It doesn’t matter anymore. It's not about him, it's about the people who might get hurt if this lunatic decides to use these weapons. He asked me for help, I'll take over the case, but I need your help.”
He grabbed your shoulder. “Will you help me?”
You sighed. “Of course. I'll do anything for you, Tony.”
He smiled “And I for you.”
You tried to put your thoughts in order. “I'll try to locate him. Is that what you need?”
“Yes. Thank you, darling.”
…
It wasn't long before you managed to see Crossbones. The use of your mental abilities was starting to freak you out. You had no doubt that you had exceptional powers and abilities, but you had no control over them and wondered how far you could go without the help of someone who could teach you how to deal with them.
Crossbones had a secret laboratory in a disused power plant in Ukraine. When you told him what you discovered, Tony called a meeting to decide all the details of the plan for the attack and asked you to pass the information to the other Avengers.
“The plant has been deactivated for more than 40 years.” Natasha informed after researching the name and location that you gave her.
You nodded. “Only Strucker's men roam the place” You explained. “Anyone who stands in our way is an enemy.”
“They don't even imagine we're going, so it will be easier than we thought.” Rhodes stated. “I still think we should put the army in front of this.”
“If we use the army the government will know about the mission and it's not what we want” Rogers said with his calm voice that always got to irritate you.
“We have the element of surprise, but it won't be easy” Tony explained. “Y/n took a look at the weapons they created.”
“The weapons are dangerous” You said. “They have weapons with firepower equivalent to half the bomb used on Hiroshima. The others are even more disturbing.”
“What kind of weapons are we talking about?” Rogers asked.
“The dangerous kind” You replied dryly without looking at him. “They are weapons with cognitive-psychic powers.”
Natasha seemed scared and you knew the mind control thing was something that could mess with her because of her forced process to become a Black Widow.
“If they use it, they can turn us against each other” Banner said, understanding.
"It wouldn't be the first time something involving Crossbones has put one Avenger against another," You replied.
“So, what's the plan?” Nat asked.
“I came up...” Rogers started, but you stared at him and he stopped.
“I believe that the weapons reach the mind through a peculiar sound it makes, something imperceptible to our ears, but which has a cognitive behavioral effect.”
“In other words” Tony said smiling at you like a proud father. “Ear plugs developed with nanotechnology.”
Tony showed the devices you created together.
“What if it doesn't work?” Rogers asked. “Or if something goes wrong? We need a plan in case this goes wrong.”
“Like it happened in Lagos?” You asked and he didn't answer. Everyone was silent. “Explain to me, Captain, this is your mess, isn't it? Or does no one else remember what happened in Lagos?” You asked the others sitting now in dead silence. “All those people died because of you. “
“I made a mistake” He said staring his own hands.
“You made many mistakes and I'm sorry if I can't do like everyone else and pretend that nothing happened. Pretending that you and Wanda Maximoff weren't responsible for hundreds of deaths in Nigeria and swallowing your arrogant face wanting to give orders and make plans.”
Everyone was stunned, but you couldn't stop talking, the words just kept coming out of your mouth.
“The great Captain America. The first Avenger.” You looked at him spitting the words like they were poison in your mouth. “You're not living in a bubble anymore, Captain. The world just got bigger. There are bigger fishes now and if we take away the serum and your arrogance, what's left?”
Tony glanced at you understanding exactly where you got those words from.
Rogers remained silent. Fists clenched.
“I'll say... mistakes. It's what's left. Many mistakes. You can play nice all you want, but when things got really tough you weren't there to help. And I'm not talking about guns dealers.”
“Y/n…” Tony’s voice was shaky. “Let it go.”
But you just couldn't let go. Not when you'd seen in Tony's eyes how much it still hurt.
“The missile in NY? Tony. Sokovia in the air? Thor and Tony.”
You took a step towards him. “A spaceship has invaded Manhattan. Where were you?”
He looked at you, clearly shaken by your words.
“You were never there. You're good at making promises, but not very good at keeping them, are you? Unless of course we're talking about your dear friend Bucky. For him all promises are kept. All the... secrets.”
Tony ran a hand over his face.
“So when I say we have a plan, you accept the plan because this is your fault and we are cleaning up the shit you did. Don't question it because you have no right to question. You shouldn't even be here, but I'm not the one who decides, am I? I'm just suggesting that next time, unless you got your hand in that gauntlet and destroyed Thanos and his entire army with a snap of your fingers... shut the fuck up.”
Tony looked at you, clearly upset about the situation, but something in his eyes showed he was glad those words were spoken.
You sighed. “But I'm going to leave now, and you can put together a plan in case I'm wrong and the Captain is right. After all, he likes to be right, even when he rarely is.”
Rogers stared at you mutely as you left the room leaving them in complete silence.
…
You went up to your apartment and made yourself some tea to try to calm your nerves. You knew perfectly well that you shouldn't have lost control, but you had it all stuck in your throat for years.
You drank tea slowly and distracted yourself finishing some French exercises that were already late and then your phone rang, it was Stephen.
“What you were doing unintentionally” He said. “I think I know a way to help you learn to control.”
“ How?” You asked confused.
“Well... it involves other issues that I would like to talk about. Can we have dinner tonight?”
You thought for a second. “Of course. Yes, please, I would love to get away from this environment today.”
“What happened?” He asked confused.
“It’s nothing. Well, I'll tell you at dinner.”
“I'll pick you up at 8 pm. What do you think?”
“Great. Will you drive us there or just open a portal?” You asked teasing him.
“Unfortunately I don't think opening a portal it’s a very discreet way to enter a restaurant” He said laughing that deep and dazzling laugh. “At 8pm, then.”
“Can’t wait.”
You hung up the phone and Natasha was behind you.
“I'm sorry, the door was open.”
“No, it wasn’t.” You replied dryly already a bit defensive.
She nodded. “It wasn’t locked.”
“If you came here to scold me, it's a waste of time. Nobody in the world is going to convince me that Steve Rogers didn't deserve to hear that.”
Natasha nodded. “I didn't come to scold you. Rogers can be...difficult to deal with. You don't like him. You don’t need to.”
“Good, I'm relieved to know.”
“Actually I came to ask how you are” She said sitting in the armchair next to you. “After everything that happened... I didn't have the opportunity to say how sorry I am.”
You took a deep breath “Thank you, Nat. I'm fine, I'm feeling better.”
She nodded and then looked at the cell phone in your hand. “And does this improvement have anything to do with this date you are going to?”
You didn't answer right away which she took as a yes.
“Tony said you broke up with Loki”
“I wasn't talking to Loki.”
She glanced at you with those watchful eyes and then she smiled. “I knew you guys had a thing.”
“We don’t.”
“Yes, you have.” Natasha smiled, seeing you fall into her usual trick. She seemed happy for some reason. “He's a nice guy. Doctor, sorcerer...”
“Master of the mystic arts” You corrected her and she smiled, seeing you unintentionally confirm it.
“A little bit old and very old-fashioned with that goatee, but if that's what you're into...”
“Are you talking about me?” Tony asked and then apologized. “The door was open.”
“It wasn’t” You and Nat answered in unison.
Tony looked at you with his hands in his pockets. “Rogers left. I think you hurt him.”
You rolled your eyes.
“I came here to thank you. Really. But I don't think it's worth, Y/n... I've already tortured myself too much for everything that happened, I don't want you to suffer for me.”
You shook your head. “I'm sorry, Tony, I just... lost my temper.”
He agreed “That happens. He needed to hear... like twelve percent of everything you said.”
"The rest was a bit mean" Natasha said.
You smiled mischievously and he sat down next to you.
“We’ll keep the plan, then?” You asked.
Natasha nodded. “Apparently yes. It’s a good plan.”
“So, what were you talking about?” Tony asked and you gave Nat a serious look, pleading with your eyes for her not to say anything. She gave you a mischievous smile, but remained silent.
“Remember what I said about doing things I can't control?” You asked once again sticking to the truth.
He nodded.
“Stephen promised to help me. He said there might be a way to control it.
“That's great” He said seeming a bit confused “I didn't know you were talking after... everything that happened.”
You smiled “Stephen is a nice guy.”
“And he is a wizard” Natasha completed.
“Sorcerer” Tony corrected her.
“Is there a difference?”
“I think he prefers the term master of the mystic arts, but sorcerer works too.” You said.
Natasha stared at you with a smile “His goatee is old-fashioned”
“Come on, we're facial hair bros” Tony said indignantly.
“I think this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard” Natasha said getting up. “Anyway, say hi for me when you see him” She said winking and leaving.
Tony looked at you noticing you were staring at him. “What is it?”
You smiled. “I love you” You said hugging him tight. “You are the most important person for me in this world.”
He wrapped you in his arms a bit surprised with the declaration of love. “Then promise me you will never leave.”
You sighed heavily “I promise.”
You laid there cuddled with him and for a second Stephen crossed your mind and you wondered if your relationship with him, not that it was exactly a relationship, perhaps not yet, but your clearly wanted it to be. Anyway, you wondered if Tony would approve. His approval was very important to you because, as you said to him, he was the only one that mattered to you.
…
You were distracted with your chores when the doorbell rang. You answered and Pepper stood at the doorway smiling shyly.
“Hey, are you busy? I can come back later.”
“No. Come in.” You said. She looked apprehensive. “Is everything okay, Pepper?”
She smiled looking around your apartment. “Ah it's so beautiful here now that you put all your stuff. I helped Tony decorate.”
You closed the door “A feminine touch is always nice”
“Yeah, I contained a bit of Tony's extravagances too.”
You gestured towards the sofa. “Thank you for that. Well, sit, please.”
She sat down shyly and you waited for her to say why she was there.
She sighed “Thank you for saying those things earlier today.”
You were surprised.
“I wish I had the courage to say it myself many times, but I'm relieved someone did.” She looked away. “I sleep with Tony every night and I saw what that whole situation did to him. What fighting Thanos, using that gauntlet did to him.”
You nodded “Someone needed to put Rogers in his place.”
She agreed. “Tony suffered a lot from everything that happened, it was very difficult.”
“I know, I... I saw everything Pepper, I suffered from afar for everything that happened and I really wanted to be on his side, I really wanted to be able to say that he was right.”
Your eyes filled with tears that you wiped away.
“You said the other day that coming here was a mistake, but I don't agree. You were the best thing that ever happened to Tony. He needed a friend. He has Rhodes, but it’s not the same.”
You smirked. “Second best thing that happened to him, then. You are everything to him Pepper. You, Rhodes and Happy were the ones who kept him in line, you're the people who never turned their backs on him.”
She nodded. “He loves you very much” She said also getting emotional. “He cares about you, I care about you. You are very important to us. You are part of our family now.”
You shook your head “I know.”
“Tony doesn't think he needs it, but he needs us to take care of him. We are all he has and he is all we have”
…
It was 8 pm and you were ready to leave but you stopped thinking about what you would say to Tony. When he was home, he knew about everything, Friday kept him informed of who was coming and going and that made you rethink the idea of going out by conventional means, but it was too late and you could see Stephen's car parked in front of the tower.
You took a deep breath and went down hoping not to bump at anyone on the way, but as you approached the exit, you saw Tony parking and getting out of the car with Pepper at his side. You watched as Stephen got out of the car and greeted him.
“I'm sorry to inform you, but I’m not working today. Schedule an appointment with Ms. Potts.” Tony said and then looked at Stephen from head to toe. “It's even weirder to see you dressed like a normal guy, I thought you only wore your monk clothes” Tony said and as you approached he noted you.
You were wearing a reasonably simple black dress, totally normal, but you still feared what he might think.
“I invited Y/n to dinner. I hope you don't mind” Stephen said ignoring Tony's provocations completely. “Hi, Pepper.”
"Hi Stephen" She replied, smiling.
Tony greeted you with a kiss on your cheek and then turned to look at Stephen. “I'm glad you mentioned it, because I...”
“He doesn't mind at all.” Pepper said answering for him. “Have a great dinner.”
Tony gave up on his argument and the two left, entering the Tower.
Stephen and You looked at each other laughing softly. “Are you sure this is the guy you love?” He asked teasing you while opening the car door.
"Yes, I do" You said, smiling as you walked in. He turned around, started the engine and drove fast through town.
You had dinner at a beautiful Italian restaurant. Stephen looked even more handsome than the last time you saw him. You loved seeing him in a suit.
"Tony will ask questions" You said, sighing.
“Like everything else, Stark seems to think that you are also his property” Stephen replied looking at the drinks catalogue. You thought you felt a bit of jealousy in his voice, but you also could have imagined it.
“He feels responsible for me and I like having him around taking care of me. I've never had anyone to do that.”
He nodded with a smirk then called the waiter and ordered a shot of whiskey.
“What are you going to tell him if he asks about us.”
You thought for a moment. “I don't know what to say, but it won't take Tony long to figure it out by himself.”
He smirked. “The truth is always a good idea.”
The waiter brought his drink and a bottle of water for you. “Are you ready to order, sir.”
“No, not at the moment.” Stephan replied and the waiter nodded leaving you alone.
“Would it be so absurd to tell the truth?” He asked and only then you realized how much he wanted that. He wanted Tony to know about it.
“No”
He smiled. “Tell him what you think is best, he will believe anything you say.”
You nodded and he took a sip of his drink and stared at you with those blue eyes seeming to pondering his next words. “Potts seems to handle the situation so naturally.”
“What situation?”
“That romance between you and Tony.”
You smiled. “She came to my apartment today to thank me for defending Tony. She said he needs people to take care of him. I think that proves that she's really okay with our relationship.”
Stephen seemed incredulous “And what did you have to defend him from?”
You sighed. “Not what. Whom. Steve Rogers.”
“Oh, are they fighting again?”
You shrugged. “There is a mission to solve. A madman with psychosomatic weapons made from the Mind Stone. It turns out that this guy is only alive because Rogers faltered and everything that came after, the Sokovia accords, was a consequence of that mistake.”
Stephen shook his head. “I remember all the news at the time, I was still working at the hospital in Manhattan.”
“Please don't tell me you sided with Rogers.”
He denied it. “Both sides seemed wrong at the time.”
You strongly disagreed, but didn't say so.
“Tony asked me to help him find these guy. I found them in Ukraine. We will attack the location and take the weapons. Tony and I put together the plan with the information I got, but Rogers didn't seem to trust my abilities and I ended up losing my temper and saying some things he needed to hear for many years.”
Stephen frowned. “You said we”
“What? Did you hear what I said?”
He nodded “You put Rogers in his place” He said impatiently. “Is it serious that Stark is going to put you in the field on a mission with psychosomatic weapons?”
You blinked surprised with his annoyance. And the way he put it made you falter. “I... haven't asked him yet, but…”
He sighed in relief. “I'll speak to him personally so he won't let you go.”
“Stephen!”
“Listen, I know you feel you can do this and that's what you want, but it's too dangerous and you need training. We barely know how to deal with these skills, imagine in a battle!”
Part of you was ecstatic that he had referred to the situation using "we", indicating that he felt responsible for you, but you strongly disagreed. “I need to help Tony”
“If you want to help him the best way to do it is in the safety of the Tower and not in the field where he will be worried about you and may make mistakes for not being focused on the mission.”
When he put it like that it seemed too obvious. You went silent.
He extended his hand across the table and you took it. “At some point you will become an important part of the Avengers. Your skills can be of extreme help to them, but right now you need to focus on learning to control them.”
I nodded “You're right, I'm being naive.”
He denied “No, you are thinking of defending him as you did when he argued with Rogers, but Stark knows how to take care of himself, I saw him fighting, he is very good.”
You nodded and then he smiled trying to change the subject.
“What happened earlier today, you were having difficulty concentrating, left your mind open and vulnerable for a long time.”
You blushed –“I'm sorry, I don't know how I did that.”
He smiles “You don't have to apologize. I'm glad it happened to me.”
You smiled at him a little sheepishly.
“But it could be very dangerous if in my place it was someone who wanted to harm you, so I suggest we work on that.”
“I don't know how to control it. I didn't do these things before.”
He looked interested “Tell me how this all started.” You thought for a moment trying to remember “They were thoughts. I dreamed sometimes, I could hear things that happened, but they were just suggestions, but it was enough for me to know it was real because I could feel it.” You shook your head “I don’t know how to explain”
"Is that how you made the decision to come here to find Stark?"
You nodded.
“And when did it start to change? To evolve.”
“When I got to NY, I...”
He waited watching you with those suggestive eyes.
“I didn't get the reception I thought I would. Everyone was worried when I arrived, some of them wanted me to come home. Only Tony, Pepper and Natasha stayed by my side, but I still felt like a fish out of water. I felt alone and Thor was all over the place with all that agonizing sadness.” You sighed.
"Keep going" he said.
“His sadness implied an absence...”
Stephen seemed uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation.
“I started thinking too much about Loki. If all this was real, these people, I wanted him to be there, for him to be real for me. But he was dead. Killed by Thanos or so we thought.”
Stephen understood “It was your first mind connection. With Loki.”
“I didn't realize what I was doing. It wasn’t intentional.”
Stephen's discomfort implied a jealousy that was strange and new to you. He barely mentioned Loki's name “And so he answered. How?”
“ You felt your face blush “He came to me first in my dreams and one night he was in my room. It was the first time I saw him.”
Stephen sighed looking around, called the waiter and turned back to you. “Ready to order?”
You agreed and you ordered your food. You weren't really hungry.
“It's possible that your abilities were suppressed by the environment you lived in. Your parents house was hostile, I imagine, once you decided to leave it all behind and just ran away.”
You nodded, uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation but knowing that at some point it would have to come out.
Stephen soon realized that you didn't want to talk about it and moved on “But once you moved away from the environment that oppressed you your abilities began to expand immeasurably because there was no longer a barrier blocking it’s development, on the contrary, you said that Thor it made you think of Loki, so he was a trigger.”
“But then it kept increasing” You said still confused and trying to understand everything he was explaining to you. “With Loki's presence the visions began and now this...”
Stephen sighed. “Well, the stimulation with Loki around have also increased” He said against his will “The presence of Loki, your sudden relationship with him... I believe that what we are seeing is only a fraction of your capabilities and that they will increase a lot more.”
“My sudden relationship with Loki.” You repeated slight offended.
He grimaced. "It wasn’t exactly a healthy thing."
“Why not?” You asked still not understanding.
“Oh sorry, I thought it was implied in my face of disgust the whole time…”
“It's as natural as any other relationship...”
“With Loki? The god of mischief? Literally the father of lies…”
You could barely answer and he realized he had overreacted so he just stopped talking.
“It wasn't sudden. I've always been drawn to Loki.”
He agreed sighing “I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken like that.”
You agreed and went back to the subject that really mattered. “I'm afraid of these skills, Stephen.”
“You need to learn to have control over them” He said understanding that you were upset “With the right direction there is nothing to fear.”
“Will you teach me?”
He smiled proudly. The idea seemed to amuse him, but he denied it. “Wong would be a better teacher, he has experience and discipline.”
You hesitated a bit “I don't know if it's a good idea, Wong is... too serious.”
Stephen let out a small laugh. “Maybe this is what you need. You need to take this issue more seriously.”
You nodded “I don't understand why I have this... thing. No one in my family does these things. They are normal people. Boring people.”
“Magic, contrary to all the bullshit we see in pop culture, is not hereditary, it is an individual condition that develops in evolved minds.”
“I don't do magic, Stephen.”
“You’re sure?”
You rolled your eyes. “Oh sure, I'll become the next Sorcerer Supreme.”
He smiled “The Ancient One would have liked you. And she would be the best mentor you could ever dream of having. She taught me everything I know.”
You sighed knowing that it hurt him to think about his mentor. “I'm sorry you lost her. I’m sorry it was too soon.”
He nodded “She told me that she saw all the possibilities of my future. I wonder if she foresaw the things I did and everything that happened after.”
You held his hand “You and Tony saved the world. You are a hero, Doctor Strange.”
He smiled but seemed to disagree “Many people fought that day to save the world.”
“But it was you and Tony who made everything work.”
He agreed in disagree apparently.
You had dinner and got back in the car, Stephen pulled you in for a kiss before starting the engine and driving back to the Tower.
He stopped in front of the entrance and you stared at him confused.
“Won't you come in?”
He denied “I'd rather not risk bumping on Stark again.”
You pulled him to your lips, thrusting your tongue into his mouth in an extremely sexual kiss that demonstrated how much you wanted him.
He smiled cocky. “Wait for me upstairs.”
You smiled in agreement. You went up in the elevator, went straight to your apartment and found Tony waiting for you on the sofa.
He smiled. “I was worried, I needed to see you before bed.”
You closed the door and went to him sitting next to him “Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, everything is fine. I just... with everything that happened I think I am traumatized. Knowing you're not in the tower made me anxious, that's all.”
“I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me all the time, Tony. I don’t want to be a burden.”
He scowled "You only have me to worry about you, I need to make this right. And don’t ever say that again. You are not a burden"
You smiled reassuringly. “Pepper was here this afternoon. She came to thank me for what I said to Rogers.”
He looked surprised. “Really?”
“She cares about you, I care about you and you care about me. I guess that means it's normal to worry about the people we love. We are family, Tony.”
He agreed. “Yeah, you’re right, but let's face it you scared me a few times, like the last few weeks.
You nodded “ I'm sorry.”
“That's okay. Let’s try to put a stone on it.”
You smiled and he hesitated looking curious “But then... going out to dinner with Doctor Strange... I have to admit that it surprised me.”
You smiled trying to sound as casual as possible “He wanted to talk about my skills. He wants Wong to help me to learn more about them. That’s all.”
Tony agreed “That's good. It’s a really good idea. Will you?”
“I need too.” You agreed trying not to show how nervous you were. There would be no way to explain if Stephen opened a portal and entered there and considering that the Sanctum was not that far away and Stephen drove very fast, this could happen at any moment.
Tony sighed “I like to see you living in this apartment, doing your thing, having friends. I want you to feel well here, it's your home.”
“I know. I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you did for me.”
He got up. “ Just promise me you’ll stay around. You won’t leave. That’s all that matters.”
You smiled “I won’t go anywhere, I promise.”
He smiled then got up “I'll let you rest, now. Goodnight, darling.”
You hugged him tight, stronger than the casual moment asked and he noticed and squeezed you in his arms too. “I Love you, Tony. Good night.”
You stood there as he left and closed the door. You loved him so much that your chest hurt, You had never loved anyone the way you loved Tony.
You turned Your attention back to the moment and went to your room. You went to the closet and took off your clothes, leaving only your lingerie and you smiled when you heard the soft squeak of the portal opening in the bedroom. You went to him and leaned against the wall, he came to you, both hands on your face and he kissed you deeply and you hold him by the nape of his neck and he pulled you to his lap, your legs wrapped around his hips and he put you on your sideboard leaning against the wall
"I thought you weren't coming" You said into his lips.
He kissed you smiling on your lips “How could I not to come after that kiss?”
You tugged on his suit to get rid of it and he unbuttoned his shirt and took it off. You caressed his bare chest, your lips moved down to his neck and shoulder and you bit down gently there.
He unfastened your bra and took it off and cupped your breast in his hand squeezing gently as his lips trailed down your neck.
"Tony was here a minute before you arrived." Your legs tightened around him, yearning for his touch.
He gently lowered your panties.
“I don't want to talk about Tony Stark right now” He said taking your panties off and then he kissed you again tasting your lips slowly.
“Do you think he would mind if he knew about us?” You asked on his lips.
He brought his hand to the middle of your legs and stroked there gently and then he thrust a finger inside you slowly moving it back and forth.
“ Right now, I really don't care” He said lowly forcing his finger and then put another one penetrating slowly.
You moaned squirming in his hand as he watched you melt away in pleasure. He smiled and kissed you and then picked you up and put you on the bed and spread your legs further with his hands. His lips trailed down your stomach to the inside of your thigh and dipped between your legs where he licked and sucked masterfully, his beard brushing your skin there and the feeling was so good, you could barely contain yourself.
You moaned loudly holding his hair and he continued and your legs shook with the uncontrollable pleasure he gave you. You pulled Stephen back to your lips and he kissed you smiling while turning his fingers inside you to touch exactly the perfect spot he knew your loved.
“Stephen...”
He penetrated two fingers while stroking your clit with circular gestures of his thumb and you squirmed in his hand and he smiled smugly, completed satisfied of seeing you melting beneath him.
He got up taking off his pants and underwear and came back between your legs making way with his waist. His cock already totally hard, he caressed it for a second and your eyes didn't leave him. He put his fingers on you again feeling all your wetness and then put only the tip on your entrance, hesitating, analyzing, provocating you.
“Stephen…”
He forced himself to enter you with a single thrust and you moaned loudly squirming under him feeling all his huge cock inside you. He leaned back on the mattress and fucked you hard and fast understanding that was the way you liked it.
...
You woke up in the middle of the night and Stephen was sleeping beside you on your bed. You stood there watching him sleep. There was no reason to deny it, You were completely in love with him. He was perfect in everything. The man was a god of sex. He had made your cum three time only in that night.
You got up and dressed your hobby and left the room. You were heading towards the kitchen when you noticed something in the living room and screamed scared.
“It's okay, it's me.” He said leaving the meditation position in which he was. Floating.
“What the hell are you doing?” You asked staring at his scary astral form. He looked like a ghost.
“Meditating... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.”
You stared at him in disbelief. “You're sleeping... how do you do that?”
He smiled. “My body needs to sleep, my mind on the other hand needs to stay active, I like to enjoy the night.”
"That's weird" You said.
“I shouldn't do that here, you're right…”
“It's okay” You smiled looking at him.
“Give me a second, I'll be right back” He said disappearing and you went to the kitchen to drink water. You heard the door opening and he appeared with a sleepy face smiling “That's better.”
He walked over and kissed you softly on the lips.
As you had completely lost sleep you decided to put the kettle on to boil and make some tea.
"Your mind also needs to rest" You said, scolding him.
He agreed “I don't do this every night, well most nights.”
You sighed understanding that there was no point in arguing “You almost scared me to death.”
He sighed leaning in the counter and then changed the subject “You asked me before if Tony would mind if he knew we were together…” He sat on the counter watching you prepare the tea. “Would you like him to know?”
“I'm tired of secrets, Stephen” You said “I’m tired of doing things in secret thinking about what they would say if they knew, but as much as I don't want to care about what everyone has to say...
“You care for what Tony has to say.”
You nodded “He's not just anyone.”
Stephen thanked you when you handed him the cup of tea.
“I don't know what we're doing Stephen, I don't know where you want to go with this, but... you know I'm in love with you and I don't want to have to keep hiding.”
“There is no need to hide it” He looked at you seriously “When you left the Sanctum that day, Wong asked me if I was sure about what I was doing … about you”
“And what did you say”
He cupped your face and pulled you closer to him “That I'm in love with you, that all the things that happened brought us together and that I feel like you're the only person who understands what I'm going through since...”
“I know.”
He smiled “I understand that you have doubts about us, but I don't. Let them know.”
You smiled sipping your tea.
“Do you think Stark would mind?” He seemed concerned about your answer. He was beginning to understand that Tony had a huge influence on you.
“I think Tony wants to see me happy. He's already worried about me too much.
Stephen nodded and then chuckled “Romanoff hinted a while back that we'd have something, Stark wasn't too happy about the idea.”
“When did she say that?”
“When we were trying to rescue you from him.”
You nodded “It's impossible to fool Natasha, she realizes things even before we do. She knows I was going to have dinner with you yesterday.”
He agreed.
You put your empty cup in the counter “I need you to tell me what to do, I... I don't know how to handle any of this alone.”
He hugged you resting his head on your chest and you stroked his hair. You held his head and kissed him sweetly on the lips. He smiled at you “You'll be fine and you don't have to do anything alone, never again.”

I shouldn't loose my mind over every tiny gay breadcrumb Marvel gracefully grants me like it's not the freaking bare minimum in the 21st century... only to queerbait me anyways.
But dammit the Marvels was everything and made my little sapphic heart scream from joy.
! The following list contains huge spoilers! Feel free to add more :)
- Kamala writing super sapphic fanfics about her and Carol
- VALKYRIE AND CAROL GWJSKSJDVJHD
- Kamala remarking that the evil kree lady was "surprisingly/ incredibly beautiful" (or some similar heteronormtive thought, sorry I don't remember the exact wording)
- the way Valkyrie looked at Carol seconds before leaving
- Carol and Valkyrie touching so softly I'm about to loose my mind
- Valkyrie in THAT suit
- Carol stressing at least one thousand times that she has less than zero feelings for that Prince and that they have a special relationship (aka both are gay and just married for cover)
- Valkyrie calling Carol "Marv"
- Kamala's visible brain malfunction when Carol did literally ANYTHING (but especially when she came to lift her)
-Carol in tanktops
- Carol being an absent parent to Monica after being unable to process the loss of her "friend" Maria (they were so in love!)
- Carol and Maria arguing over the custody of Goose (cat lesbian behaviour)
Feel free to add more :)

Nothing in Batman comics is canon because it’s literally 90% fanfiction written after the actual creators stopped writing the characters.
anon it doesn't work that way.
By that logic, practically noone exists because the original writer of Batman, Bob Kane and Bill Finger, only created Bruce, Dick, Alfred, and the villains gallery. That's it.
No Barbara, no Jason, no Tim, no Damian, Steph, Cass, Duke, Lucius, Tim Fox, Kate, Talia - there's no one then.
But suppose we go back on that statement and say 'well actually, the creators of new characters', which still doesn't make sense but let's go with that. Then major plots wouldn't happen. Because Max Allan Collins and Chris Warner created Jason Todd but Judd Winick is the one who brought him back to life. Marv Wolfman and Pat Broderick created Tim Drake but Alan Grant wrote a lot of the Robin comic and Batman comic characterization for him.
It's physically impossible to say that just because other people continued the series, the comics can't be taken seriously.
Comics are the source material. Of which fanfics are based on.
The Star Trek and Star Wars book series are written by multiple different authors but that doesn't mean that what's written doesn't happen or isn't true or is wrong. The 39 Clues and Doctor Who series are the same deal.
Batman comics are canon. Because if only the works of the original authors of Batman were to be considered canon, then practically everyone in the Batman universe doesn't exist/doesn't matter. Because they're just fanfic then.
But this idea doesn't just stop at the Batman fandom anymore because every comic was written this way. The people in Superfam? Gone. Flashfam? Gone. Arrowfam? Gone. Like this logic doesn't just apply to Batman, it applies to virutally every character in the existence of DC.
The beauty of comics is seeing how the next writer will continue the story. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they need tweaking, and sometimes they're wrong although that's usually very rare.
The problem with fandom's view on comic writing is the belief that whatever the authors create must match our perspective of the characters. That's wrong. Their characterization is what we should be adding on/building on to our perspective of the characters. Unless there is something so wrong, something so illogical, that it must be noted because that character has never acted that way before, then we must discard or critisize a comic.
Comics develop. Characters develop. Each writer brings something new and adds a layer of depth to each character they write about. That's how we get new interactions, new relationships, new sides that make each character interesting.
Take the original Dick Grayson comic and his intro to Robin
Detective Comics (1937) Issue #38
Dick originally wanted to go to the police. He had no intention of going after Tony Zucco but Bruce is the one who demands they go after him together by themselves!
I love this version created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, but I also love the version created by a completely different author where Dick decides to stake out Zucco on his own. Both versions show different sides of him and authors sometimes even choose which one they want to include. Some have gone with this version where Dick tries to go to the police before being interrupted by Bruce and others have gone with the second, more famous version. But neither of them are bad and you can't say that the one where Dick goes after Tony Zucco is fanfiction. It's canon. If it's written in comics, it happened unless there's some disastrous, glaring contradiction.
You have to understand, these comics - especially Dick and Bruce's - are nearly 100 years old. Dick, and it's wild to think about this, existed before even the Justice League did. Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, and Aquaman were all created after him. If the orginial writers stopped writing, and noone picked it up, there would be no Justice League and that's a problem because the Justice League is one of the foundations of the DC comics.
So much has changed in a century and new writers constantly come in to show that change. That's why comics after the original writers finish writing are still canon and important. The original characterizations of all these major players were all super peppy and cheerful before new writers added angst and drama to their backstories. Bruce and Dick used to laugh and grin when they went crime fighting with no sadness or anger or other emotions. It wasn't until a couple decades later where writers started writing that in which is how we get the grim avenger Batman today.
Here's the third point to why they're relevant even though they're written by new authors: the passage of time in real life, is included in canon comics characterizations.
One comic talks about Dick discussing the Joker and he says, "at the beginning, it was just all fun and games. He would cause problems but at the end of the day it was a game. But one day, things went too far. People got shot. That day, the Joker changed. He was darker and evil. It wasn't games anymore."
This comic panel talks about the Golden Age to now, the progression and development of characters.
The comics and reality are inseparable because reality is literally written in. The works of writers after the orignal ones aren't arbitrary or some whimsical thing.
It's very different from fanfiction because fanfiction has no need to stick to the truth or canon characterization but these comic writers do because they have an obligation to do so. The only problem they might have is accidentally focusing too much on one aspect of a character and neglecting the other parts but almost none of them are way off the mark.
So no, for the sake of characterization, personality development, plot events, and new interactions, all comics are extremely important and definitely canon. Us readers might have different opinions and thoughts on them but it's irrelevant in the face of the fact that the comics are the only truth to which we can base our interpretations on.

8 films that inspire my RDR2 fanfics
So this is for the kind and patient anon who asked me for some movie recs relevant to my writing, and for anyone else who might be interested.
This list has genres like western, drama, crime and horror. Most of the films have darker themes, half are non-English, and some have that surrealistic edge that I try to emulate as a nod towards Rockstar games. I consider fanfics closer to screenplays than literary fiction, and so it feels natural that this list has an emphasis on fun!!!
1. Il Grande Silenzio / The Great Silence (1968)
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is my favorite western film of all time. It is a classic, a spaghetti (Italian) western made by Sergio Carbucci ("the second greatest spaghetti western director"), and it has a Morricone score - buuut it is set in snowy mountains as opposed to deserts, have anti-fascist themes and is revisionist and dark.
The main character Silence, who is an outlaw who kills bounty hunters, reminds me of Arthur Morgan, and the main villain, the evil bounty hunter Loco, of Micah Bell. I think it served as an inspiration for them. It's great if you want to get that western atmosphere seen through a colder lense.
-
2. Utvandrarna & Nybyggarna / The Emmigrants & The New Land (1971 and 1972)
These two movies are best seen as one imo, as they follow the same Swedish family of farmer immigrants through the 1800s, as they travel across the sea to settle in the USA. These films are great for getting into the history at the time, as they are quite accurate, and might give you a realistic portrait to "lawful" human beings lived and died, such as Abigail and John in RDR1-2. To say it's a harsh life puts it mildly, but there is also joy, and I love how unflinching this film is in showing the life at the time. Great for seeing why it isn't easy for the Van der Linde Gang to settle down.
The last one might be the most relevant since it's set wholly in the USA, but personally I adore the shift from the Scandinavian landscape to the American one, a contrast that helps me describe it better. It has great actors you might associate with Ingmar Bergman films (no one is as good at dying as Liv Ullmann lol, kudos).
PS: PLEASE DON'T WATCH THE NEWER NORWEGIAN REMAKE. THE SWEDISH VERSION IS SUPERIOR.
-
3. The Thing (1982)
AHHH I couldn't not put it here, and not only because the main character wears a cowboy hat, or it being my favorite horror film. No, this one is just great for learning how to write tension. The whole movie is super tense, and made more so by the characters being smart, the stakes being high, and the whole setting being used. It’s also gory and FUN.
-
4. Le Cercle Rouge / The Red Circle (1970)
Lolol when I first wanted to watch this I got the German one made many years prior, which was pretty meh. Afterwards I watched the correct version, and MAN, truly a great heist film. It really gives young Dutch & Hosea vibes. This one is great how at showing how much planning and carefulness one has to do if one wishes to lead a life of crime, and how it might not save you. It’s also just a cool movie. Old school cool.
-
5. Le Trou (1960)
More tension ... And god, the sound picture in this movie is something else. This is a French prison escape film, and can help you if you want to see just how important loyalty is among criminals. It really has that harsh, high testerone vibe to it lololol, and I'm sorry, but the French butts in tight and sexy prison uniforms are a sight to behold.
-
6. Sin City (2005)
Okay this is the sort of film I can't watch with just everyone because it's so exploitative and over-the-top, but it's my favorite comic book style movie. It has extreme violence, very sexy men and women in nice coats or underwear, and it's just so much fun. The character Marv reminds me of low honor Arthur Morgan, and Dwight, of high honor John Marston. I love the comics too. Just know that this isn't for everyone, but it is very me.
-
7. Female Trouble (1974)
LOLOL another film that isn't for everyone, but it's kind of considered mandatory viewing if you're queer. I know this is an odd choice to inspire RDR2 fics, but I write crack fics, and believe it or not they require work as humor requires a degree of form, seriousness and precision.
I love also John Waters so much, I remember watching this exact movie with my first queer friend at sixteen and we were like, hugging and kissing each other in sheer joy. I am inspired by this type of surralist, over-the-top, dark humor across all my stories. Tbh if Divine showed up in the Rockstar universe, probably toned down for Rockstar due to marketing reasons, would you be surprised? I'd love to see her on a horse spray painted with glitter.
-
8. The Hateful Eight (2015)
I almost translated this movie title into Italian just for fun, but ... Yeah, I guess I had to kind of end this list with a circle composition, what with The Hateful Eight being inspired by Il Grande Silenzio and all, and those two GIFS before the list being from the film.
I grew up with Tarantino movies, and when I watched this in the cinema I liked it but was underwhelmed. It's only after rewatching it a couple of times that I started to really, really like it. I like and understand the references, I love the atmosphere, it just helps remind me how fun a movie can be. It's also great for giving characters the necessary degree of coolness. I reference this one a lot in all my works, and would love to do write a fic directly inspired by this.
-
That was it! I can mention some more movies I like that are kind of relevant to this list: Army of Shadows, Django, Man Without a Past, Werckmeister Harmonies, Jackie Brown, Diary of a Country Priest, The Price of Fear (French one!), Event Horizon, Hellraiser, Braindead, Green Room, Rec, Withnail and I, Ravenous …
I always welcome movie recs! Just know that I got specific tastes lol.
Thanks for reading!

I would like to propose an idea, you don't have to take it seriously, but it's an idea.
What if Old Man Marley wasn't there to rescue Kevin, and the Wet Bandits chose to simply abduct the trapper, the new plan having been to ransom Kevin for a good payout. Marv, however, makes the suggestion that they take the money, keep Kevin, and fake their deaths. The duo use a pipe bomb, their trusty old van, and a few deceased homeless people to make their great escape.
That was seven years ago, Kevin spent his first three years as an unwilling guest of the duo, and then Stockholm Syndrome kicked in. At the age of fifteen, Kevin loses his second family after a job goes wrong in Gotham when Harry and Marv attempt to burglarize the seemly abandoned Zsasz Manor only to run into Victor Zsasz himself.
It's a bit darker, considerably darker, but with his birth family being alive and yet he is presumed dead. The Wet Bandits had a better and longer run of things, it all ended when they ran into Victor Zsasz. Now Kevin has to start from scratch, maybe there's a Cafe hiring or something?
Oh wow I love this idea so much actually!! There's a fanfic that was actually recommended to me by a different anon that involved the idea of Kevin being taken by Harry and Marv and having Stokholm syndrome!! It was super cool to read, but throwing Batman into that, is so cool to think about!! This is actually the fic I was given from back then!! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12813426/1/Home-is-Where-the-Heart-is
But to continue on, I imagine Kevin's got some amount of funds to help himself out for a bit before he needs to 100% worry about being on the streets. Since this is 7 years after the first home alone, this means that Kevin is 16 (he was 9 at that time), so it's not suspicious for someone his age to get a job.
He'd definitely be on the young side if he ends up doing goon work, but Kevin would more than likely not stick to a villain for too long a time so he can avoid being recognized. Kevin's a caring kid, and probably was made to believe his family has moved on and so to him Harry and Marv are much more important. So instead of trying to reconnect with his actual family, he's going for revenge against Victor Zsasz. He's just trying to get all his ducks in a row first, and avoid being found out by his bosses/the batfam.

In his intro to Crisis on Infinite Earths, Marv Wolfman said something I think is really important: every generation deserves to have comics be their own, not some previous generation's. I don't know, something about this is really freeing to me. Entering a comic fandom is intimidating because it seems like everyone wants to talk about how certain depictions of the characters are inaccurate or bad or not supported by canon, but I have now read hundreds upon hundreds of comics in my quest to really absorb comic canon, and what I've learned is that comic canon is so fluid that pinning down comic canon is basically impossible anyway.
Anyway, I just think reading that line from one of the comic writers I respect the most - if you're not familiar, this is the man who created the Nightwing mantle and the character of Tim Drake, along with half a dozen other characters (Deathstroke, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire - just for his New Teen Titans run) - has kind of cemented in my mind this notion that comic canon isn't something to stress about. Comics are about having stories that are your own, which - from my perspective, at least - is also what fanfic is about.
