#one sided thorbruce

[fuuecoco]

for years i have been trying to write some sort of spooky thorbruce ghost hunting story and i can NEVER manage it and it pisses me off because every iteration has been so much fun. they start a side hustle at college ghost hunting cause tony is convinced his place is haunted. it’s the 1970s and bruce is a chain-smoking parapsychologist and they go to a séance hosted by mysterio together. an alternative version of the 1970s one where the loki gang (loki, sylvie, mobius, etc.) and thor run a private detective agency that do parapsychology on the side and bruce is jaded from academia and decides to join them so he can go out and really investigate. i also bounced around the idea that bruce is interested in the paranormal because HE’S haunted in some way (i love the visuals in the hulk comics of bruce looking into a mirror and the hulk being reflected back). i am so mad that i can just never get the writing right

He Blinded Me With Science

Co-written with @blueeyesblazing​ - ThorBruce professors au but Bruce also anonymously makes p0rn. Explicit. More chapters to come!

When visiting adjunct professor of anthropology Thor Odinson Googled for "local scientists gay" one warm spring evening, he wasn't exactly sure what he had been expecting to find nor how he had even ended up in this unfortunate situation. The fact was undeniable, though, that it was Friday, he was a stranger in a new city, and he had decided to stay home with a tub of Ben & Jerry's watching nature documentaries in his pajamas instead of doing something about it. Rather than contemplating that further, he added "hot with dark hair" to the search bar and hit the button. If academia had taught him anything, it was to be detailed in his queries.

He told himself that his interest was purely academic (ha ha), but even so he was disappointed when he saw the results. There were a couple of articles on famous LGBT scientists, a band called the Gay Mad Scientists and... adverts for ball shaving, for some reason. He might have had better luck with a dating app, but that implied commitment. Thor wasn't sure he was looking for commitment. It hadn't been too long since Jane dumped him (mutual dumping, he'd insisted afterwards).

He was idly scrolling through page twelve of the results when something caught his eye: "Jerking Off Whilst Reciting the Periodic Table (Can I Make it Past Iridium?)". The link definitely didn't lead to a dating website. Thor hesitated, intrigued. He glanced up at the TV, where a pair of giraffes were mating enthusiastically. He supposed the evening had been building towards this. Thor downed the melted dregs of his ice cream, put it to one side and furtively wiped his hand on his pants. He clicked the link.

Y’know….there was that post about fandom misogynoir and now that I think about it I realize there’s a HUGE amount of it in how people treat brunhilde/Valkyrie and Bruce. Fair warning I’m not here to be nice I’m here to call out some weird behaviour in fandom. If you continue reading you may find your feelings hurt.

Before we start here yes I know she had a girlfriend, yes I know people favour her as lesbian but she is BISEXUAL, Tessa Thompson said as long as she plays brunhilde that the character is bi, like the actress. we need more bi characters too because the second a character shows any interest in anyone they are labeled straight, gay, lesbian and nothing else. But that’s a bi and panphobia in LGTBQ fandom spaces rant that I’ll post later because it’s also ridiculous. And we did not know that other Valkyrie was brunhilde’s girlfriend until later so the behaviour during ragnarok is still odd.

ANYWAY. Brunhilde is an amazing character. First real main female character who’s black. She can fight, she put thor and Loki on their asses, she’s depressed, she’s an alcoholic because of it, she’s part of an elite warrior group that thor admires. She’s got so many more layers than other characters and she’s constantly tossed aside for these other characters. Tacked on as a flirty, sometimes depressed girlfriend to make a WlW ship and it’s clear people focus on the other woman in these ships and not brunhilde when she’s included in something.

In ragnarok she had already befriended hulk….they were goofing off together and he was calling her “tiny girl”. Anyone else tried that they’d get a nasty look from her, and a death threat. Her and hulk built a good relationship during hulk’s time there. And that’s before she knew who Bruce was. When she saves Bruce and thor from being attacked in the streets Bruce is in awe of her. He’s immediately asking questions and wants to know more. And brunhilde treats him much kinder than basically any other character in the movie.

And people toss that aide to ship ThorBruce??? Like? Ship what you want but please stop saying their interactions in ragnarok were loving and cute because they definitely weren’t unless you were watching a different movie than me. Thor belittles hulk AND Bruce the whole movie. He lies to them both because he needs them to get home. He uses them both. He’s rude to them both. He only uses the lullaby because that’s what worked with NATASHA. He’s not doing it because he genuinely cares and wants Bruce back, he just wanted hulk to stop destroying the quintet and tried the lullaby because Nat’s hologram message showed up and pulled Bruce out so he went with what was working.

It just really makes me wonder if brunhilde wasn’t black would more people say her and Bruce would have been cute? If she wasn’t bi would more people say it? I feel like a lot of other Bruce fans are gonna get mad at this because a lot of them are also thor Bruce shippers but like….give my man a partner who actually shows that they can and do care about both sides of him. And give my girl a partner who also shows they can care about all sides of her and someone she can be soft and playful around because they both deserve it. If you wanna get upset do it on your own post. I will block and delete you off this one because I’m not gonna spare energy getting into arguments that won’t go anywhere and I’m not laying out a stage for you to start fights. Calm rational discussions are welcome though. I understand having something you like called out is going to make you defensive but sometimes the reasons why you don’t support something else do need to be examined. Even if it hurts you. Especially when those reasons can unfortunately be a normal part of fandom spaces and you might not even realize you’re contributing.

He Ain’t Gonna Marry Me

AO3

Summary: Thor reflects on missed opportunities on the night of Bruce and Rhodey’s wedding

Thor looked around, and he had to admit, it was beautiful. The day Bruce had been waiting for, the day Thor had been dreading, the day that Bruce was getting married. When Thor realized he had fallen in love with Bruce, the scientist was already head over heels in love with James Rhodes. Thor saw how happy they were together and if they were happy it wasn't his place to intrude.

               The most painful moment was when Bruce asked Thor to be his best man. He barely remembers it. He knows Bruce asked; he knows he said yes, and Bruce hugged him. But the thing that stands out the most in his memory is the pain in his chest, the ringing in his ears. Because that was the first time, it hit Thor. That Bruce Banner was getting married, but he wasn't marrying him.

               As Thor got ready, he thought back on all his missed opportunities. All the times he could’ve said how he felt. Before he returned to Asgard, just after they had met, when the attraction was new and young, and Rhodes wasn't in Bruce's life yet. At the party, before Ultron, before everything fell apart. Thor was tipsy, he was heading over to Bruce intending on telling him how he felt. But then he saw them together. Bruce and James in their own world, laughing and enjoying themselves together. Thor realized he couldn’t take that away from him. They were on the statesmen, on their way back to Earth. They had grown closer during that time, and Thor’s feelings for Bruce had only increased. There was one night when they were together, watching the stars as they often did. Thor almost confessed, he almost told Bruce how he felt, what he had been feeling for years. Until Bruce rubbed at one of his fingers. The place where an engagement ring sat for only a few hours, before being taken off and put up for safekeeping, not knowing it wouldn’t be put back on for years. He talked about James, about how much he missed him, about how much he loved him, about how planning this wedding was the only thing keeping him sane on this trip. Thor realized that this was his last chance to tell Bruce how he felt, or he would never have the chance again.

               Thor knocked on the door to Bruce’s dressing room, mentally rehearsing what he planned on saying.

               Bruce opened the door, smiling as he saw Thor “Oh, hey Thor, what’s up?“ Bruce says as he lets the god in.

               “Hi, Bruce, I wanted to talk to you about something,“ He said, wringing his hands.

               "Oh, okay," He started "Hey, before you do, I wanted to thank you for doing this, for being my best man. You're one of my best friends, and honestly, aside from Jimmy who's walking me down the aisle there's no one else I'd rather have by my side today." Bruce admitted.

               Thor was taken aback, his small boost of confidence gone. “Um, yeah,” he replied before adding “That’s what I wanted to talk to you about too, actually. Thank you for asking me to be your best man,”

               “Of course, Thor,” Bruce replied, smiling that rare smile the Thor had fallen in love with.

             �� “Alright, well see you later,” Thor said before quickly leaving the room.

               When Thor got back to his dressing room, he took out his flask and took a shot of mead. There wasn’t supposed to be any alcohol at the wedding, but Thor knew it was the only way he would make it though. At this rate, he wasn’t making it through the wedding, regardless.

                               The wedding was a blur. Only remembered greens and silvers and fireworks going off. He barely remembers giving his best man speech, only that he made himself scarce as soon as he finished. But there was one person he couldn’t hide from. A sharp call of “Brother” pulled him out of his daze, as he stood on a balcony, drinking from his flask.

                “What is it, Loki?” he asked, taking another drink.

               “Are you planning on sitting out here and moping?” Loki replied, moving to stand next to their brother.

               “Yep,” was all they got from Thor in response

               “It’s pathetic, you know,” Loki said, though they also sounded sympathetic

               “I know, but here I am, at my best friend’s wedding, hiding from the world,” Thor explained

               “If you were going to be miserable why did you even come?” Loki asked, wanting to comfort their brother.

               “He asked me to be his best man, I couldn’t turn him down, not without an explanation,” He replied

               “Then why didn’t you tell him?” Loki asked, their voice softer, showing the sympathy they felt.

                “I-I couldn’t, he was getting married, I didn’t want to cause problems,” he explained, his voice breaking, Thor was fighting back the tears.

               Loki nodded, they understood why their brother was in so much pain; they knew how much he loved Bruce. “At the very least, you should enjoy the party, brother,” he replied, knowing what Thor needed, a distraction.

               Thor nodded, turning back towards the party. When he did, he saw Tony staring at him. He smiled.

what? a beautiful wedding? pt. 4

a/n: wow, this is the last part! thank you for all your support on this little series, i’ve had such fun writing these💓 you know the drill by now, we’re following this au and part 1, part 2, and part 3 are linked!

In a disorderly clump, the entire friend group as well as various other family members and friends (of both brides) walked to the outdoor venue. Stephen looked around the garden with wonder, drawing on the back of Anthony’s hand with his thumb.

“This is pretty,” he murmured, simultaneously thinking aloud and talking to Anthony. “I think an outdoor wedding would be nice, weather and seasonal allergies permitting.”

Anthony nodded. “Can you imagine you’re about to say ‘I do’ and you sneeze because the pollen count is too high? I’m sure it’s happened to somebody before.”

“Good thing Christine is a med student and has the foresight to take allergy medicine, and Hope is somehow lucky enough not to have allergies,” Stephen replied.

The couple took their seats, continuing to hold hands as they waited for the ceremony to begin.

“I think an outdoor wedding would be nice,” Anthony said. “My mother used to say that she imagined my wedding in her rose garden.”

Stephen didn’t miss the fact that Anthony’s voice dropped at the mention of his mother. “Natasha’s wedding wasn’t there, was it?”

“No, she always dreamed of getting married in Paris, like we know she did. But Mom was always proud of her roses, and she always hoped one of us would get married there,” Anthony explained.

Stephen saved this information for a later date, wrapping an arm around Anthony as his face fell. Stephen kissed him softly, trying to prevent him from spiraling into old and upsetting memories. He didn’t want to see the love of his life upset, especially when he felt somewhat responsible.

“I’m fine,” Anthony murmured, leaning slightly against Stephen. His words said one thing, but his body language (looking around somewhat nervously, playing with his sunglasses in his hand) said another.

“I’m sorry,” Stephen whispered. “I love you.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong!” Anthony assured him. “And I love you too.”

Stephen kissed him again. “Why didn’t Natasha come today, by the way?”

“Hope didn’t invite her. Not to be meanspirited, or anything, but they’ve never met.

“That’s a little weird, given that she’s your half-sister, isn’t it?”

“I don’t know if Natasha would have come if she got invited, honestly,” Anthony replied. “She really never liked being around this many people. Even still, she wanted to show support and her way of doing that is through gestures.”

“So is yours,” Stephen said with a smirk.

“Yes, but Natasha is much more lowkey about everything than I am. In fact I think she’d agree with you that islands are weird wedding gifts,” Anthony said. “How else are you supposed to tell people you love them, if not with a grand gesture?”

Stephen’s heart clenched. “You know you’re far too precious for this world, it’s really unfair. I’m lucky you’re mine.”

“Feeling possessive, are we?” Anthony asked, giving Stephen a little, good-natured shove.

“Not really, just introspective,” Stephen replied, as his phone began to buzz. “Oh wait, drama in the groupchat.”

The seat switch occurred just before as the organist announced the arrival of the brides. The brides and their bridesmaids would be walking down the aisle in two parallel lines, tailed by Hope’s niece as the flower girl. Christine’s father, ordained specifically for this day, was the officiant (while Hope’s father would emcee the reception) waiting at the end of the aisle. It was a beautiful arrangement, and the entire group was happy to see both of their friends radiant and glowing in the afternoon sunlight.

Even Pepper, from her place behind Christine, had a peaceful smile on her face. Peaceful was the perfect word to describe her, as it seemed she had found a way to make amends with her feelings. She was even the first one to toss a bouquet in the air when Christine and Hope shared their first kiss, and wasn’t that nice?

++++

“I always underestimate how loud you can actually be,” Stephen teased, wrapping his arms around Anthony.

“I’m not being that loud!” Anthony was indignant, despite the fact that he was practically shouting. “It’s just important that you can hear me over the music!”

“I can hear you fine, and beyond that I’m listening to you,” Stephen replied. “So talk, you have my attention.”

Anthony was interrupted by Sam, forcing himself behind the couple. “What are you doing?”

“Hiding! Didn’t you see the texts? Bucky is after me with the confetti cannon!” Sam said. “I need you to cover me.”

Anthony smiled wickedly, continuing to hold onto Stephen even as he faced Sam. “Fine, but I need a favor from you. See Rhodey and T’challa flirting over there? I need you to run past them, leading Bucky behind you while he’s chasing you, and somehow knock them into a corner.”

“Fine I’ll do it, just hide me for a minute!” Sam pleaded.

He continued to stand behind them, periodically looking around for Bucky.

“Why would anyone hide behind you? Even with this startling amount of hair gel, you’re tiny,” Stephen teased Anthony.

“Uncalled for, on so many levels!” Anthony replied. “It’s not that much hair gel! Besides, you try dancing the night away while maintaining immaculate hair.”

“I don’t need to try, I’ve perfected it,” Stephen quipped.

“Where’s Sam? Has anyone seen Sam?” Bucky had the confetti cannon slung over his shoulder like a bag, his hands forming a makeshift megaphone as he dramatically searched for his boyfriend.

“I’m making a run for it!” Sam yelled, sprinting to the left.

Bucky appeared as quickly as Sam had sprinted away. “Where did he go?”

Anthony simply pointed to the left, returning his attention to Stephen. “Have I told you how nice you look today?”

“I wouldn’t mind hearing it again,” Stephen replied. His mind drifted back to earlier in the day, to lazy kisses being traded as they prepared to leave for the wedding. It felt like it was days ago when Anthony grabbed Stephen’s shirt collar and kissed him in their closet. Even though Anthony generally preferred hugs, he never shied away from an opportunity to kiss Stephen.

He knew he was grinning like an idiot when Anthony caressed his face and whispered, “You look great, Steph.”

“That’s high praise coming from you,” Stephen preened at Anthony’s words, leaning in to kiss him.

“Hmm, and you do love my praise, don’t you?” Anthony whispered against his lips.

“I love all of you, if you don’t already know that,” Stephen said.

“I love you too,” Anthony murmured, leaning in for another kiss as someone clinked a glass.

“May I have everyone’s attention please?” Carol asked. “Wow, lots of PDA here tonight, huh? Anyway, it’s come to my attention that some of you want to toast to the happy couple, and since dinner is about to be served I figured now is a good time for some toasts! The dance floor isn’t going anywhere, everyone return to your seats!”

In an even less orderly clump than before, the wedding guests returned to their seats. Excitement buzzed in the air as people whispered to each other, finalizing their toasts.

“Now, who’d like to go first?” Carol asked, once everyone was seated.

Rhodey’s hand was up before Carol could even finish her sentence, and no one opposed him going first. Clearly, a lot was on his mind. “I’d just like to start out by saying congratulations to the both of you, I couldn’t be happier! I wanted to actually give you your wedding gift now, although this is directed at Christine. Why, you may ask? Because she was the only one who thought me and T’challa were together where the rest of our friends have assumed we’ve just been pining for each other! Christine— you were right, we’ve been together since February.”

Anthony stood up immediately. “You mean I’ve been trying to play Cupid for nothing?!”

Rhodey took a bow as all the wedding guests clapped.

“Thank you Rhodey, this might be the second best early wedding present I got today!” Christine declared with a wink.

Stephen followed her line of sight, confusion on his face. She wasn’t winking at Rhodey...

Christine winked at Pepper.

Title: Vulnerability of sleep

Characters involved: Bruce, Thor

Idea: Bruce’s bed hogging habits comes from a place of love and safety

I was 100% inspired by this art piece shared in the Thorbruce server by sydmish and my brain needed to write it out haha. Thank you for allowing me to share the art as well!

----

When Thor awakens on the floor, there is only fondness in his chest.

He muffles a yawn while he pushes himself into a seated position. Blinking sleepily, he takes a few measured breaths before he peeks onto the bed, finding the increasingly familiar sight of Bruce imitating that starfish that he saw during their visit to the aquarium months ago. 

Thor rises to his feet proper so he can carefully sit on the edge of the bed. He quietly observes his sleeping partner. The gentle rise and fall of his chest. A faint snore that only comes from deep sleep. His arms and legs spread out, as if he’s trying to occupy this entire bed himself. 

Thor loves seeing this. Even if he has to curl himself tight to stay on whatever little space Bruce leaves him with, at times waking up on the floor because even in sleep he’s accommodating towards Bruce’s comfort, he loves it. To see a man that’s been hurt over and over again, engraving habits geared towards survival into his very skin sleeping so carelessly is just…

It’s hard to describe, only that he’s willing to endure a little discomfort because Bruce loves and trusts him intimately even in the vulnerability of sleep. How can he repay that other than embracing his bed hogging habits?

Thor eventually lays back down, this time on the side facing Bruce. He can easily fall off the bed again if he rolls over but that’s alright. It’s worth it to see this sight. His hand reaches out to settle on Bruce’s, slowly slotting their fingers together.

Bruce makes a low, indistinguishable noise at that. Thor freezes, the beginnings of guilt seeping in at his impulsive action waking his lover up from much needed slumber. The faint squeeze from their linked hands is his only warning before Bruce suddenly rolls over to tuck himself against him. 

Thor releases a slow breath, staring down at curly, salt and peppered hair. Despite having plenty of room to be comfortable if he moved them closer to the center of the bed, he remained in his precarious position, one arm pinned underneath Bruce’s body. 

Bruce murmurs something that suspiciously sounds like his name and oh, the fondness welling within him threatens to bring him low had he been upright. Thor might find himself on the floor again, or wake up with a numb arm but it’s all worth it.

Thor gently places a kiss atop Bruce’s forehead, eyes sliding shut to rejoin his lover in slumber.

*whispers* thorbruce sleepy morning sex headcanons

Oooh! This is the first time anyone's ever sent me this sort of ask! Sorry this turned into just general sleepy morning headcanons with a side of sex...

* Thor's a major sleep cuddler. Koala-style grabby arms there. Bruce might take some time to come around to that when he's awake, but I like to think that when he falls asleep, he ends up snuggling into Thor because he's totally touchstarved and they sort of naturally cling together like magnets.

* Thor often has to have limbs sticking out here and there for temperature regulation and a window open to feel like he’s under the night sky. Bruce gets chilly some of those nights but luckily Thor runs a few degrees warmer than humans so that helps along with good blankets. Thor gives him some super soft lightweight blankets made of Asgardian wool by the same craftsmen who made his cloak, because his boo deserves the best.

* So Thor has something of a hair trigger and there have been plenty of times when he... pokes Bruce awake. The first time, it’s awkward because he doesn’t want to force anything on Bruce but the poor guy hasn’t had any in a looong time so it turns out to be okay. 

* If Thor really does weigh 3 times as much as a human, he’s gonna be super careful not to roll onto Bruce or otherwise squish him, even in his sleep. Bruce ends up using his chest as the nice, firm heated pillow it is and Thor rather enjoys the weighted blanket effect. (Also, Bruce has probably named Thor’s boobs but has not divulged this. Hulk will, however.) 

* More often than not, I think sleepy grinding is what they end up doing the most since it doesn’t really require either of them to wake up too much but is just nice and lazy and slow and lets them stare into each other’s eyes and nuzzle and kiss a lot. Just really enjoying each other in the most comfortable way, like an extension of a dream but with their favorite person next to them. And a happy ending, yep.

* Sometimes one or the other of them does actually get frisky enough to hop on top but it’s anybody’s guess who it is on any given day.

* They also take turns spoiling the other and trying to surprise them with breakfast in bed. Bruce is a decent cook and a phenomenal baker. Thor has about a 50/50 success rate, mostly because he can’t seem to follow any recipe exactly and scoffs at measurements. Sometimes that goes really well and sometimes really not. Bruce will still eat a bite and try to look like he’s enjoying it, figuring that no matter what he can’t die of food poisoning anyway.

* They like going to farmer’s markets on weekend mornings. Bruce because it’s such a normal human thing to do and Thor because he’s all “I used to be a god of agriculture, you know”. He got really excited about grapefruits the first time he saw them and asked how humans managed to grow grapes of such impressive size. Bruce had to let him down gently.

Okay I’m gonna stop here because after that it’s not morning anymore!

[esperata]

I saw an ask on @writerkenna's blog that looked interesting so I'm tagging myself here.

What is your most on brand fic you've done? What's your most off brand? What is a fic (or fics) SOMEONE else has done that you feel like came from your own heart it was so perfect? Tag others if you want - Anonymous

I feel my most on brand fic is Words Don’t Come Easy (Gotham, nygmobblepot) There’s a lot of softness in this which is a staple of my repertoire. Its got the mildest angst, pining due to a misunderstanding, and character’s parenting. Ultimately it has a happy ending because that really is a hallmark of my fics. What marks this as most on brand though is the library connection. It can’t get much more ‘me’ than that.

Most off brand is From Bad To Worse (Star Trek TOS, spones one sided) If I were looking for something to read, I wouldn’t click this given the tags. Its dark, its angsty, and it feels hopeless. Painful stuff happens and just has to be endured as it breaks the character. I did subsequently write a follow-up to mitigate some of the effects but left this piece as a standalone because, well, sometimes people do want to wallow.

Okay this is a really tough choice and I’m going to cite a few.

The stories of scars (Marvel, thorbruce) This may be short but its beautiful and tugs on my heartstrings. I recorded a podfic for it because I wanted to adopt it.

A Mini Dress For Your Thoughts? (Star Trek TOS, spones) I have a weakness for writing Bones in pretty dresses and sweetNsimple took that idea and ran with it.

More than ever (Gotham, nygmobblepot) Post canon fix it fic featuring a chubby Penguin. If that’s not right up my alley I don’t know what is.

Make The Yuletide Gay (Burtonschumacher, riddlebird) Festive reworking of a classic tale featuring my favourite pair of criminals. This is a trope I love, done excellently.

[writerkenna]

Ooooh fun questions, thanks anon!!

Most on brand: we've always been impossible

To be honest, any of the Wilson-Barnes Family series is pretty on brand for me, but this is likely the most so. I love fluff and I love happy endings and I love babies. This one, especially the ending, is pure indulgent domestic bliss.

Most off brand: Project Genesis: Attempt Four (FAILED)

As someone who normally writes HEA's and shameless romantic comedies, this is way off brand for me. I adore angst, and I write it a lot, but this was a whole different level for me. It came from me deep diving into HYDRA Trash Party, and reading some heavy Sam and Bucky angst, and just being like . . . okay, this man will suffer. I actually really like my diction and style of prose in this piece and would definitely consider writing some more trash/body horror like this again.

Other fics that I love/fit my brand:

I've already done a rec list of my favorite sambucky fics, but here are some fics that feel like they could be my brain child:

i could kiss you (a little, oh, a little bit) by neville, thorbruce, 1.3k

Fluffy as hell, getting together, a little bit of awkwardness, right up my alley

flyin' high (in thr friendly sky) by Lies_Unfurl, sambucky, 2.3k

Some more fluff, the exact type of dialogue I love, and also I love to read characters getting stoned

big leagues by glittercake, sarahbucky, 1k

I actually love sarahbucky, even if I will be a sambucky stan till I die. This fic is soo cute and in character (the way Bucky flirts makes me swoon) and it is definitely the way I would write them if I wrote sarahbucky. Also this quote about Bucky! “He's not cool at all, he's a huge fumbling mess and has no actual idea how to act around a woman he's so attracted to”

I would do anything for love (but that wallpaper has to go) by the_crown_jules, sambucky, 1.7k

Sooooo domestic. Sam and Bucky are such an old married couple in this, which is exactly how I like ‘em. Their dynamic is really fun and their love for each other is subtle but also always present. Just super duper fun.

The Simple Life Series by howler32557038, stucky, 16 works, 337k

I’m not a stucky fan, really, but I will read the occasional fic for them. And oh boy am I glad I took a chance on this one. The nuance of Steve and Bucky’s relationship, the obvious research and care that was put into writing about Bucky’s pregnancy and body modifications, the attention given to fleshing out side characters, all of it is incredible. This work I cite as my greatest inspiration for The Wilson-Barnes Family Series, which I think would be quite clear to any one who has read both my works and this one. It’s been two years and I’m still holding out hope for this series to update!

Also, absolutely all of @hollyhark ‘s South Park fics are major inspirations for my writing style, and I will love them till my dying breath

I’m bad at tagging people but I encourage all my fic writing mutuals to do this!

Update on my favorite ships

I thought i would do an update on my favorite ships as it has been a while and some ships have changed since my last post but some have stayed the same so here is my new ship list (also these are my personal favourites so if you agree with one or some, i'm glad 😁)

Movies

Marvel

Stony - I still like this ship with steve and tony is cute but as both steve and tony are dead now in the MCU, i don't look it up as much, i still think they are a domestic married couple and they love each other, even in heaven

Winterfrost - I like this ship because i think it needs more attention, i think loki and bucky will be cute together and they both have bad pasts so they will be able to understand each other, i also just like to see tom hiddleston and sebastian stan work with each other as tom himself said he would love to work with bucky/sebastian in the future and sebastian may or may not ship Hiddlestan (the ship between tom hiddleston and sebastian stan), i call it tombastian myself 😆.

ThorBruce - I still like this ship, shame they may never meet again due to thor off on his own with now lady thor and the guardians of the galaxy while bruce is busy with his cousin she-hulk but i still think it's cute in thor ragnarok.

Spiderpool - I still like this ship, it's cute and still love the fact that they are heartmates, still imagine the pair being both domestic and playful with each other.

Cherik - I like this ship especially with the mcavoy!charles and the fassbender!erik, it's cute and the fan art i've seem proves the point that it's cute, i've also notice a lot of fanfics i e seen on this ship really wants charles and erik to have a child together and...i'm alright with it, also fassavoy (the ship between james mcavoy and micheal fassbender) is also what got me into the ship as they are good friend and they love to tease people that they are going out and it's funny.

Games

SonAmy - I still like this ship, i love how lately they are making sonic like amy back as before it looked one sided and i always like seeing cute ship fan art or fanfics about them.

Zelink - I still like this ship, still needs to be official as it seems to be a on and off relationship in the games, in sprite tracks, they are a couple by the end and it's hinted in skyward sword they are a couple but that it, fan art and fanfic fix this issue though so i'm glad.

Wrightworth - i like this ship, it's a cute ship with so much backstory to it, phoenix becomes a layer to see miles, miles is truly greatful for phoenix saving him from manfred bon karma, the pair raising trucy together, the anime showing off how gay these 2 are, the games showing off how gay these 2 are, phoenix is bisexual but prefers miles over iris, these 2 are just a gay couple with loads of kids and i'm here for it.

Anime

Amourshipping - I still like this ship but it seems to not be that popular with people anymore as a. people now ship ash with goh and b. she needs to appear in the anime again to reintrest people in the ship, it's still a adorable ship though and i have a fanfic of the ship on my wattpad here

Rocketshipping - I still like this ship, jessie and james are still cute together with meowth being the third wheel friend who trying to help them get together, they care about each other and miss each other when they split up and it's still a great ship

Dekuchako - I still like this ship, really cute even when i watch a compilation on the ship, i hope when my hero academia end, they have a kiss at the end, i also hate the idea that heroes can't have a life (a spouse with kids) due to the villain might find out where they live and use their family ageist them, it's harsh and just let hero's have a life!...maybe if the villian has a family too, it might be different.

TV Shows

Sherlolly - I still like this ship, it's a underrated ship due to how popular johnlock is and it needs more love, i love the fanfic people write on this ship and the fan art i've seen on it are cute so this ship needs more love

Sportarobbie - I still like this ship, it's a cute ship and it's the best ship to come out of a tv show involving healthy eating and moving, i love seeing headcannons of sportacus being really lovestruck of robbie and robbie being a introvert about his feeling for sportacus, the best part of the ship though is the part in the episode 'the fortune teller' where robbie and sportacus are standing together while watching stingy and ziggy's puppet show like they are parents, it's so cute and i love it.

Pinkieshy/Flutterpie - I still like this ship, just the cute cemetery of the extrovert pinkie pie and introvert fluttershy is just cute to me, like pinkie being loud accidently but then seeing fluttershy scared calms her down, it's cute.

Shelma and Fraphne - I still like this ship, both ships are cute and i wish mystery incorporated didn't ruin the shaggy/velma ship and calling her a lesbian, in the original series of scooby doo, shaggy and velma were hinted a thing with velma going off with shaggy and scooby all the time and shaggy (and scooby) always helping velma when she loses her glasses, fred and daphne are cute too, that ending part in 'scooby doo stage fright' is cute and the idea fred can't do mysteries without daphne is cute too.

Doctor x Master - I like this ship and i have for a while, i mainly like the tenth doctor with simm! master but the twelve doctor with missy is cute too, i like the fan art of the ship but the fanfic are all E for exploit and i'm like '...where's the G for this ship?' so yeah, needs more G content in the fanfic section.

Manga

Specialshipping - I still like this ship, seeing the manga pictures of red and yellow together are cute and the fanfic and fan art make this ship more cute to me, i also like the idea of a double date between red and yellow going with blue and green, cute stuff.

Those are it for now but if i think of more i will put them down.

do u have any thorbruce hcs ? i miss them sm 🤕

oh do I

-thor & bruce laying out beneath the stars together, & while thor is telling stories from all the planets he’s been to and wonders he’s seen, he looks over at bruce he realizes oh, oh. this might be his favorite

-thor paid a peddler for his fortune, and she told him his soulmate was a brunet scientist on misgard, and a few hundred years later he met jane. he wasn’t as devastated as he thought he’d be when they broke up, and when he met bruce it all made sense

-au where bruce is just a scientist whose favorite coffee shop is suddenly 100 times more popular and he doesn’t know why. there’s a new blond barista who always fucks up his drink named thor, one day thor writes a lil note on his cup to meet him for shawarma? the date goes so well so they meet again and again and then bruce sees thor on the news flying and texts “ur an alien god????” and thor replies “I thought u knew 🤪”

-bruce tries to flirt with a shield science tech and she’s just like ‘listen you’re cute but I don’t think it’s worth getting on your boyfriends bad side” bc apparently thor has been telling everyone and their mom that they’re dating

-hulk cradling thor and carrying him when he’s hurt

-thor telling bruce an insane lie about how asgardians “mate” to mess with him and bruce just fucking off to the middle of nowhere for a week before deciding he loves thor enough that it’s worth it

-whenever bruce gets really mad and his temples start sporting the tell tale green veins thor wraps his entire body around him like an octopus and breathes in sync with him until he calms

-bruce having a side project where using ai tech and historical records he recreates a photo of thor and his family so thor has something physical to carry with him instead of just memory

-no one knows they’re dating (just thought they were REALLY touchy friends) until they get wedding invites

what are your fave thorbruce headcannons :)

omg omg i'm always so bad at answering this question bc my headcanons are always all over the place but here's some:

they have like twelve different houses all over the place and all of them are complete messes

bruce is absolutely trans

thor likes to spar with the hulk (and also hulk likes to spar with him)

one day when bruce is straightening stuff up he accidentally lifts mjolnir without thinking and thor screams and probably cries

the two of them are insanely smart and when they really get going they become practically incoherent to anybody else

bruce loves learning everything thor knows about space from his asgardian perspective

on the flip side, thor loves learning everything bruce knows about space from his midgardian perspective

bruce is teaching thor to drive currently but they're both terrible at it

thor absolutely has magic and knows how to use it

bruce is currently trying to study and quantify and define and explain thor's magic (it's not working)

thor considers bruce's experiments to be magic (bruce thinks that's incredibly sweet)

neither of them can cook well, only creatively, so they're currently taking six different cooking classes

bruce has a pet rat that thor loves and often sneaks snacks to

thor likes hanging out with hulk and his love for bruce and hulk helps balance things out in bruce's mind

they both struggle to communicate and process emotions properly so sometimes they just end up in cold-war silent standoffs with each other over stupid shit. but they care about each other so much they always end up just conceding whatever it was and moving on

they are just constantly touching each other. just all the time. holding hands. reaching out and skimming each other. bumping hips. stroking hair back. kissing. all of the above. constant touching

that was so much and it's all over the place but here!! some of my little thoughts!! this was actually fun omg i love to share my heinous little headcanons!!

what? a beautiful wedding? pt 2. 

a/n: the college au wedding fic shenanigans continue! read pt 1 here

“On what?” Stephen asked. “Christine why do you seem nervous?” 

“Let’s go in, you should have a drink and get comfortable. We can talk more inside,” Anthony suggested. 

Christine led the way, the bright name and number on the back of her hoodie (which was actually Hope’s) as much of a guide as Christine herself. 

“What’s the status of Rhodey and T’challa?” Stephen asked, taking Anthony’s hand. 

“Their pining is infuriating me,” Anthony replied. “Lots of flirting on the drive over.” 

Stephen hummed. “If they aren’t together by the end of the night, is it so wrong to help them out a little? Give them a push in the right direction? I’ll even push them into our bathroom if they need a quiet space to sort their shit out.” 

“Noted,” Anthony said with a smirk. “I don’t know what they’re waiting for.” 

“They’re both too independent and proud, sort of like another couple I know,” Christine quipped. Evidently she’d been listening to their conversation from where she walked in front of them. 

Stephen smirked at his friend. “In due time, Christine.” 

Anthony looked from Stephen to Christine, trying to read their suddenly guarded expressions. He had a suspicion that they were discussing a proposal, as all of their friends were on the edge of their seats waiting for the couple to get engaged. Anthony smiled, briefly reflecting on his own proposal plan that Pepper and Rhodey were helping him with. Speaking of which—

“How is Pepper?” He asked urgently. 

“I think she went to take a nap,” Christine replied. “I gave her my room key and told her to lay down, I didn’t know what else to do.” 

Another wave of guilt consumed Anthony. “This is—”

“I won’t have you drowning in self doubt on the day of my wedding,” Christine interrupted. “All you’re trying to do is care for your friend, that’s all any of us are trying to do. Stephen, please make sure your boyfriend understands that.” 

Stephen nodded, wrapping his arms around Anthony immediately. 

“You guys are so affectionate and cute,” Christine said. “I’m really glad you’re here. I’m happy everyone is here.” 

“How do you feel?” Stephen asked. 

“I’m still nervous, but it’s more of an excited kind of nervous,” Christine replied. “I love Hope so much, and I really can’t wait for all of this hype to be over so I can just say she’s my wife.” 

“You know that the hype is going to last probably into tomorrow, right? Especially with our friends being the way that we are,” Stephen teased. He looked past Christine at the Odinson siblings, who were filling a confetti cannon… in the middle of the lobby. 

Stephen quickly snapped a photo and sent it to the groupchat. 

Hope wrote back immediately: “I didn’t just see a t-shirt or confetti cannon, did I? … Fuck it, if you need more confetti I know where to find it.” 

The Odinsons dashed off towards the elevators, confetti cannon in tow. Anthony watched them leave, a small smile on his face at the chaos unfolding around him. 

“Today is going to be good,” he said, to no one in particular. 

“I really can’t wait,” Christine added. “I had some time to kill when you guys got here, but I should probably finish getting ready, y’know. Go make someone sick with your cuteness, and I’ll see you later okay?” 

Before they could answer, Christine hopped up and hugged her friends before running off. 

“What do you think is going to happen tonight?” Stephen asked, taking a sip of his seltzer. 

“One of us is going to get too giddy and serenade his boyfriend during the reception,” Anthony replied, winking at Stephen. 

“That was a one (1) time thing, baby. I don’t sing,” Stephen said. 

Anthony held up his phone. “This video from my sister’s wedding shows otherwise, my love! And if you don’t sing, I might. I’m in that kind of mood.” 

“Pep’s calling,” Stephen said. “That karaoke video stays between us, Anthony.” 

Anthony picked up the phone. “Hey Miss Potts, I was actually just about to call and see how you are.” 

“Christine noticed that I was hungover when I showed up, so she gave me her room key and told me to take a nap. Now I’m awake and I can’t stop thinking about her and how caring and sweet she is, and I just want to be with her,” Pepper lamented. “Have you seen her?” 

“We were just with her, but Pepper wait a minute. Are you still in her room?” Stephen asked nervously. He began to chew on the inside of his lip as a mildly disastrous scenario unfolded in his mind. 

“Yeah, where are you guys? I feel like I just shouldn’t be sitting in here,” Pepper said. “I have this letter that I wrote, I was thinking I’d just leave it somewhere so she’d at least know how I feel. Is that a bad idea?” 

Stephen quickly pulled Anthony close to his side, kissing him softly before whispering: “I have a bad feeling about this. We have to stall Christine.” 

Anthony nodded. “Create some kind of distraction.” 

A loud noise, almost akin to a roll of thunder, filled the space before Stephen could finish sending a text. Even still, he seized the opportunity to ask the group about what it was, hoping that a game of detective would give Pepper more time to collect herself. 

On FaceTime, Pepper jumped at the noise. “What should I do, guys? I want to be a good friend, I really do, but I want to be more than that all at the same time.” 

“How do you think she’s going to respond?” Anthony asked. He had no idea how such a confession would go and was genuinely curious about Pepper’s expectations. 

From somewhere behind Pepper, the door opened and Christine walked into her room. 

“Hey, how do you feel?” She asked. 

Pepper shrugged. “A little better, my headache went away.” 

“Okay good. I just came to get my dress, are you ready to head to the garden?” Christine asked. 

Pepper nodded, sadness drifting onto her face. 

“Oh shit wait, are you on the phone?” Christine asked. 

“It’s just us,” Stephen replied. “Hi again, sorry about the confetti cannon.” 

“Carol and Val are helping Bruce wrangle the Odinsons, I think they’re watching a movie or something,” Christine said. 

She left the room and Pepper turned her attention back to her friends. Another door squeaked as it closed, and Pepper seized her moment to say: “What am I going to do? It’s not like I can just say ‘Christine I know you’re my best friend but I love you as more than a friend’ you know? Not on the day she’s supposed to get married!” 

“Wait, you do?” Christine was almost whispering, holding her wedding dress in a garment bag. “Is that true?”
