Colorful Fic Titles Masterlist 2
part one
A Red, White, and Blue Christmas (ao3) - TriplePirouette peggy/steve T, 56k
Summary: White Christmas AU. Peggy is pulled from Project Rebirth, setting off a chain of events that leaves Steve and Bucky unharmed at the end of the War, but never having met her. Until, that is, their paths cross as professional performers. Steggy Secret Santa gift for Roboticonography
Black and Blue (ao3) - concupiscence66 sam/bucky M, 86k
Summary: Sam and Bucky are a couple of guys. A couple of guys who have been battered and bruised down to their souls, and who are in need of some serious rest and relaxation. Bucky would be happy to crawl back into his isolation, but Sam coaxes him into another visit to Delcroix. With no impending doom hanging over their heads, Sam and Bucky have a chance to really get to know one another and see if the spark between them might turn into something more.
Blue Eyes To Hell (ao3) - SmutConnoisseur steve/bucky E, 74k
Summary: Bucky lives a humdrum life in the suburbs and can't wait to see what lies beyond white picket fences and routine. But, unfortunately, his world will soon turn upside down when he meets a young man named Steve Rogers, a goody-two-shoes with the eyes of an angel but a mouth made to sin.
Blush Pink (ao3) - voluptuous_panic steve/bucky E, 3k
Summary: Bashful has always been Steve’s best look.
Feeling Blue (ao3) - Runarelle loki/tony T, 2k
Summary: Tony knew that Loki was pretty picky about a lot of things, but the fact that Loki seemed to loath the colour blue hit him as strange.
Green (ao3) - belby mj/peter G, 5k
Summary: He leaves the news channel on long enough for her to comment, "Must be fun, swinging from buildings like that. Well, either fun or completely terrifying."
"Yeah," Peter says. And then, because he's an idiot, adds, "He's cool."
Michelle shifts, kicks her feet up onto the coffee table. "Hm. I'm more into The Winter Soldier type. Dark, mysterious, dangerous. That's cool"
Peter is about to reply through a steadily deepening frown - The Winter Soldier??? Cooler than Spider-Man??? Really??? - but when Michelle had shifted on the couch, she had somehow ended up with her shoulder bumping his, their arms almost pressed together, and for some reason the warmth of her body so close is really distracting. So he doesn't say anything.
(Peter is a dumb teenage boy who just wants Michelle to think he's cool).
Green Curry (ao3) - FestiveFerret steve/tony T, 4k
Summary: Steve, who was the nicest most generous person in the galaxy and would give you the overly tight shirt off his back - and had done so more than once for Bruce, after a surprise Hulking - got weird about one thing: food.
Green Laurel (ao3) - VR_Trakowski pepper/tony T, 89k
Summary: It will not be long, love

i want that red velvet (i want that sugar sweet) (ao3) - chalantness steve/natasha E, 5k
Summary: "I'm here for your birthday, of course."
Lilac Perfume (ao3) - redbrunja clint/kate T, 1k
Summary: "You don't mind me telling you this stuff, right?" Kate asked.
Why would he mind hearing about the handsome, age-appropriate boys she was dating? Not a reason in the world.
Red Black and Blue (ao3) - Jodygoroar steve/natasha E, 15k
Summary: Set beginning at the end of Captain America The Winter Soldier. Totally should be complete canon. This is my OTP for sure.
Steve finally gets up the courage to ask Natasha out on a date, it goes very well, despite completely missing dinner. Over the next few weeks their relationship progresses and they finally admit their feelings for each other to themselves. Things get hot and heavy in the first chapter and remain that way most of the way through this piece.
Red Satellite (ao3) - Pandagirl23 bucky/tony E, 78k
Summary: An Intermission Story:
A mission to Mars gone awry. One crew member returns to Earth in an escape pod, he is questioned about what happened on board. What happened to him? What has happened on that Space Station?
Red, White & BOOM!! (ao3) - EpicKiya722 sam/bucky T, 4k
Summary: The Fourth of July. Everyone is aware that that's America's "birthday". It's also ironically and unironically Captain America/Steve's birthday. His friends care, HYDRA doesn't and hopefully he'll see the next Fourth of July without being annihilated by fireworks.
sweet silver bells all seem to say, "throw cares away" (ao3) - weatheredlaw clint/kate T, 2k
Summary: The entire time, Clint grins at Kate from his spot by her elbow like an idiot, watching her flush with bizarre happiness at her team's poor communication skills and complete lack of cohesiveness.
If she had to admit anything at all, she'd tell him it's the first time they've all been this happy together in ages.
And if his hand on her knee is any indication, she thinks he understands anyway.
The Silver Answer (ao3) - enemyofrome steve/bucky T, 22k
Summary: On May 7, 2013, the sixty-eighth anniversary of Steve Rogers’s death, the war record of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops was declassified. Overnight, their work in World War II became public knowledge: a “Ghost Army” that deceived and terrorised Axis forces with phantom troops, decoy inflatables, spoofed radio signals, professionally recorded sound effects—and the myth of Captain America himself. 
Steve Rogers never got the serum. He doesn't have superhuman abilities. What he has is a paintbrush, some stage props, a stomach full of spite, and a Bucky Barnes.
It's enough.
Upon a Hill, Across a Blue Lake (ao3) - I_Mushi bucky/darcy/steve M, 12k
Summary: Fluffy ABO - Darcy has a few run-ins with the police and a couple Alpha Avengers show up to help. She /really/ should have specified to Jane not to send her crushes when she called for help. Steve/Darcy/Bucky Alpha!Steve, Alpha!Bucky, Omega!Darcy

Yellow Card (ao3) - superstringtheory steve/bucky M, 3k

1, 6, 10, 11!
1. OTP(s) for your muse?
this is not a shock or a secret if you've been on my blog for longer than 0.025 seconds, but peter and mj are my holy grail OTP ❀ she holds such a singular position in his life in every universe, serving as peter's strongest and most long lasting connection to himself even when the suit threatens to consume him - she's his WIFE for god's sake, the mother of his (incredible) children. she's STRONG in ways he can't be and i think her unwavering support of and belief in him is a big reason he can do what he does. and peter himself brings out such a SOFTER, sweeter side to wild!mj that no one else can. she actually lets herself lean on him, NEED him when she ordinarily would keep all that ick locked up tight within herself.
they really just make each other better in every way and i'll never shut up about it.
6. Do you have an OT3 for your muse? Are you open to polyshipping?
so within the world of spider-man? no, i actually DON'T support OT3s or polyships for mj because (hot take incoming) i feel like they're primarily written just for the spice content and that really CHEAPENS the overall relationship for me. not to mention that mj is a ... lets say demanding partner in terms of time and energy investment and i don't think there is a canon spider-man character who could slot into a polyship with her and peter (for example) that she would be comfortable making space for.
however, in my crossover ships? it's something i'd be open to! it's all really reliant on the power dynamics between the three of them, so it would have to be a stars align situation. but it's something i'd be willing to explore with the right partners!
10. A ship in your fandom you love (that does not include your muse)?
ngl i am actually a big fan of gwen and miles in the spiderverse movies. i really wasn't sure about it at first, but it's grown on me over time. i just wish it got more love in the RPC!
11. A ship in your fandom that you dislike (that does not include your muse)?
OH BOY you're really out here trying to get me cancelled huh ?
peter and felicia. no i won't explain why, i like my life LOL.
Âș ✧ 。mun related shipping questions with @ltbrdshw (and @fyrewalks) !

Oh absolutely!
I think there's a reluctance to change the characters' gender and sexuality because SM it's 60 years old and feels untouchable, but it would make for a good, fresh coat of paint.
When the show Hannibal came out in 2013, Alan Bloom became Alana Bloom, Fred Lounds became Freddie Lounds, and a few characters had their sexuality changed. It makes for a visionary adaptation that very much holds up today.
I don't know, Harry being in a stereotypical nonqueer relationship with a girl and being father rings completely hollow to me. I guess it's part of the point (I haven't read comics where such a situation happens yet), but still.
However, I think everyone (publishers, most writers, the audience) expects Peter to be with MJ. I think part of it is that the various adaptations cemented it as the universe's OTP. Peter getting with Gwen and Harry not being mentioned in TASM very much came from the studio trying to make a new franchise adaptation so soon after the last. And of course, MJ was set to eventually replace Gwen even though her integration didn't make much sense (thankfully the movie discarded her scenes).
And when MJ, whether she's played by Kirsten Dunst or Zendaya, acts nothing like the MJ from the comics, I feel like Harry should be just as likely to be a love interest.
MCU!Peter acts nothing like 616!Peter–he completely lacks the angst (it thankfully reared its head in the two sequels).
So what I'm saying is that SM is a mythos that gets retold again and again, and making Harry kiss dudes (or even *gasp* his best friend!) is in no way a treason of the original story, far from it. It's a logical path to take. If one character can be 100% different from their comics counterpart aside from their name, Harry can crush on Peter.
And talking about Peter, him being bi wouldn't be out of the left field. Aside from his very close relationships with some male characters, he's an ideal. Just look at how he's drawn by Romita Sr.
He's very handsome. He's idealistic. He does have flaws, but contrary to Harry, he's a man who's confident in his masculinity. He's who boys are supposed to aim to be–driven, handsome, brilliant, and dutiful. He also has flaws naturally, but he's an example.
Peter is desirable. He's the perfect man. He's not, but he is. Making him bisexual just makes him more desirable, because then everyone can say "If only I could be with him."
TL;DR Harry as gay or bisexual is a no-brainer, Peter as bisexual also fits the character.
(But I don't think Insomniac will have the balls/the authorization to do that, even though we all know Peter and Harry fumbled around a few times.)
I think if they don't use Harry to threaten Peter and MJ's relationship, they might actually make him gay in a blink-and-you-miss-it, easter egg sort of way. You could still have Norman's shame over Harry not being ~a real man~, especially if he's obsessed with having an heir.
However, if they do make Harry gay, they probably won't kill him for fear of being accused of burying their gays (...). Because I wouldn't be surprised if Harry's storyline as "i'm deadly sick but the symbiote will me heal me up" ended up with Harry dying, whether he's sacrificing himself or he can't survive without the symbiote (I don't believe they'll keep it).

After watching the first episode of F4 Thailand, I wanted to see if it was darker than the Japanese version and surprisingly, they’re pretty much the same and Matsujun’s Domyouji is just as psychotic, dangerous, and tightly wound.
Disproportionately violent overreaction to an accident?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Check.  He’s seriously so tightly wound, anything can set him off.  Also, I’d recognize that trademark Matsujun hip pop anywhere lol.
Menacing aura that makes you believe he can snap any second with crazy eyes?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yep, check.   MJ is seriously so good in this role!  He’s definitely physically the smallest out of all the actors who have played Domyouji/Dao Ming Si but omg he sure is intimidating when he wants to be.  Quite a feat for a skinny Johnny’s boy who prior to this role was mostly known for being a pretty boybander who is 5â€Č9″ at best.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way he reacts to her is more like a caged animal eyeing and circling its prey than a human.
Warning - lots more caps after the cut
Gleefully drowning your fellow student lackeys for failing to bully Makino into quitting school?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Bahaha, black toenail polish?  Never change with your flamboyant ways, MJ)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mm-hm.  Oh and look, he tries to drown not just one, but three students.
Cold and uncaring mother?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know it.
Tumblr media
This is just here because I thought he looked good even with that atrocious shirt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Walk, walk, fashion baby.  Over 16 years later and I still love MJ’s ridiculous runway strut that any fan can easily recognize from a mile away.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok, but I don’t remember MJ looking this good in HYD?! And I was OBSESSED with him back then.  I still feel like Chen Xingxu has similar vibes and even looks like him at some angles.  Maybe it’s the thick dark eyebrows, lip area, and pale skin.  Anyway, if China ever wanted to do a proper remake of Meteor Garden, I volunteer Chen Xingxu as Dao Ming Si.  They can age them up to college age like the original Meteor Garden if they have to.
But back to more violent Domyouji.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, definitely a normal and healthy reaction to a simple question.
Tumblr media
Are you even Domyouji if your fashion sense wasn’t expensive trash?
Tumblr media
He could seriously bore holes into her head with how intensely he’s staring at her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah buddy, probably shouldn’t be saying that kind of stuff to your future otp.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ugh, this punch is still so satisfying to watch after so many years.  I love Inoue Mao as Makino Tsukushi.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m pretty sure those are heart eyes on his face.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Domyouji: Is this love?
Anyway, in conclusion, I think I’m going to re-watch HYD while waiting for new episodes of F4 Thailand.

@mormonbatmanlover​
For the character asks, how about Dipper and/or Spider-Man?
Dipper:
1. favorite thing about them
He reminds me so much of my youngest brother it’s insane. Very nerdy, cares about his image as the smart kid, close with his sister, loves space and cryptids, plays sousaphone... 
2. least favorite thing about them:
The way he automatically dismisses anything girly isn’t great, but it’s typical of 12 year old boys so what are you gonna do?
3. favorite line
There are a lot, but I just love his delivery in Dipper VS Manliness. “You must thrust your hand into the pain hole!” “The WHA?”
4. brOTP
Soos, of course
5. OTP
I honestly don’t usually care about shipping. I like Dipcifica and Wendip about equally. I guess Dipcifica edges out a little because it kinda reminds me of my parents sometimes, IE man who doesn’t care about his appearance at ALL with a woman who cares about appearances maybe a little too much because of her own parents.
6. nOTP
People who ship Mabel and Dipper, you’re free to like what you like blablabla but maybe consider seeking professional counseling? This is not healthy. 
7. random headcanon
He plays minecraft. (Just another thing that would make him just like my youngest brother)
8. unpopular opinion
I think Dipper should do an apprenticeship with Ford once he’s a senior in high school or older
9. song i associate with them
I don’t think I have one, the Gravity Falls theme song I guess?
favorite picture of them
Tumblr media
Brass players UNITE!
Spiderman (You didn’t specify which one so I’m going to assume you mean Peter Parker?)
1. favorite thing about them
He’s a goof, but he’s still a fairly serious and grounded superhero
2. least favorite thing about them
They really don’t seem interested in letting him age or have a family in the comics which is meh.
3. favorite line: 
From Into the Spiderverse: “Step Three: I reexamine my personal biases.”
4. brOTP
Even though it’s more of a substitute parental role, I love Peter B. Parker and Miles’ relationship in Spiderverse.
5. OTP
MCU Peter and MJ are my favorite.
6. nOTP
I’m not familiar enough with the fandom to know what the nOTPs are but honestly any pairing putting him with anyone in his rogues gallery is a no from me. (Yes that includes Black Cat, don’t care for her)
7. random headcanon
His spidey powers also made him ambidextrous. 
8. unpopular opinion
The third Sam Raimi Spiderman film is actually really good if you just look at it as a comedy, it’s so much fun.
9. song i associate with them: St. Elmo’s Fire thanks to Spiderverse.
favorite picture of them
Tumblr media
It’s a classic.

(probably going to get alot of him) Snatcher?
>:) doesn’t matter thanks for the opportunity >:)
Least favorite thing abt them: idk?? I don’t rly think there’s a lot I dislike abt him in canon?? Wait no I just remembered I’m bad at video games and can’t get past his gay rights form in Breaching the Contract die die die stop making my switch lite lag.
brOTP: conductor, grooves, and MJ >:)!!
OTP: none lol
nOTP: him and Vanessa.
Random headcanon: not original but he played violin while Vanessa played the piano. They used to practice songs with both instruments a lot together.
Unpopular opinion: don’t have one I think??
Song I associate them with: aaaa can’t think of one right now I’m sorry
Favorite picture of them:
Tumblr media
(I know that’s the prince but that’s still Him to me sshhshhs don’t worry. Second place is him with the violin)
Saved this for last

Favorite thing abt them:
(mentions of trauma/abuse sorry)
I uhhh talked abt this before in tags somewhere,, but I like how he’s angry!!! He understands what he was put through and got mad and now he’s big and scary and lives in the woods which is partially on fire good for him❀. I hope he burns everything! I hope he burns and burns and burns until finally realizes how exhausted and lonely he is. There are SO MANY THOUGHTS I have abt him and Vanessa and also just Vanessa by herself. How long was Vanessa Like That exactly. Bc if he grew up with her gradually getting worse OH BOY does walking on eggshells around ppl like that mentally and emotionally beat you to a pulp. It changes the person you become. You lose part of yourself in becoming someone that person won’t get upset with. As messed up as it sounds I wonder if he felt a sense of relief when he died? A feeling of freedom before trapping himself in self loathing lol. I suck at comics but OH GOD do I wanna draw this out somehow or discuss this with someone he is so insanely full of problems

would you want felicia or gwen to come in the mcu? bc peter and mj are already together so wouldn’t they have to break up for gwens storyline to happen or felicias?
Soooo I may have started the tag "MJ is MJ" but I've always considered Michelle to be an amalgamation of Peter's top lady love interests (MJ/Gwen/Felicia), making her his Perfect OTP 😌 So even if they have to break-up/make up, Spideychelle is endgame for me because Michelle has it all:
Gwen: Michelle's also a smart and accomplished STEM student, could be Peter's academic rival (except she's his captain in the MCU yeah boiiii), also Very Annoyed about having a crush on him bc he keeps ignoring her--until she becomes his first love 💕
Tumblr media
Mary Jane: Michelle has also known Peter since highschool, figured out that he's Spider-Man on her own but kept his secret, resourceful and cool-headed in an emergency, ride-or-die and will tell you what she's thinking whether you're ready or not, all the boys still want MJ (see Brad Davis; see "Fuck You to racists who can't see how a black MJ would still be desirable don't you have eyes???")
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Felicia: Michelle would def sabotage/steal from the rich and powerful without hesitation, and I can see her becoming more Felicia-like as she gets older and figures out how to weaponize her looks and appeal to get what she wants (see every BlackCat!MJ fic from this amazing fandom)
Tumblr media
(This didn't really answer the ask and became a love letter to MCU MJ, oops!!! Not sorry!!!)

Vanessa pls!
First one n it's my fav dnjdsjfd
Favorite thing about her:
I have so many things I like about her jdssdnds
I simply love evil scary lady dfjskkfnds
I love her design [both living n as a ghost] (You literally cannot tell her magic is ice looking at both designs and I love that very much)
I love her level, best one in the game even it scares the hell out of me dfkjdnffd
I love the mysterious lore behind her character, gives more for a lot interpretations
Least Favorite Thing about her:
That said, She is still an evil character that did bad stuff, I can't say I like that part of her even it's a big one,
She's an evil character and I'm allowed to like evil characters but not fully endorse or promote what she has done irl,
Which is why I like to piece together why she did what she did in aus n junk. I am under the belief people are not born evil but molded that way,
Unless you get the character right, I do not like just being told they did it just because they were evil
Favorite Line:
"The Garden looks beautiful tonight, We can see it together!"
Like yes ma'am pls take me on a date jfddfskfd
No joke, I took this one line and ran with the hc she like gardening n flowers dndfdfjdf
BrOTP:
Hmmm...I can say I do like some situations when she n prince are bbfs rather than lovers [have an au where they didn't love each other n only got engaged to get Vanessa's mom off her back]
Maybe her n Shapeshifter were buds
OTP:
Prince/Snatcher X Vanessa
[original I know]
Moonjumper X Vanessa
[Of course when MJ n Prince are separate people (glancing at that one friend who has an au mj I ship my au vanessa w, You know who you are cnsjcsd)]
Florist X Vanessa
[Bc Gay of course uwu {I also ship prince/florist/vanessa ot3]
Thor X Vanessa
[haven't actually talked about this one even on Discord but I like the queen lady with nice beef himbo uwu]
nOTP:
Mafia Boss X Vanessa
Haven't seen it around but it has been shipped before and can't say I'm a fan really
Random Headcanon:
I have so many
So my most common one is
Vanessa's Mother was just like her, abusive and possessive of her husband to the point of harming her daughter, It was to the point where Vanessa thought it was normal, love was like that
She loved the prince but her mother pushed the thoughts of infidelity on to her because she wanted them to break up as she disproved of the relationship
Which led her to accidentally killing her mother
Unpopular opinion:
Oh boy-
I can't believe I have to say this but
Please??? Do not make Call Outs, anon ask, Attacks against people like this character
I have gotten passive aggressive anons telling me that my art sucks and I'm unpopular because I draw Vanessa all the time
Giving me the 'helpful advice' of Asking me to draw more Snatcher and Prince because that'll make me a popular artist
Please just chill [no pun intended], This is an adorable platformer with interesting characters and funny writing, It's not that Deep
She did horrible stuff, and it's fine if you dislike her, but please do not harass irl people for just liking and making content of this character please
Song I associate with them:
So many I could make a playlist njdds
[TW: Red songs have gore in lyrics, be careful peeps]
Dismemberment Song by Blue Kid [red for mobile]
The Red Means I Love You by Madds Buckley [red for mobile]
The Ballad of Sarah Berry by Lindsay Mendez, 35MM: A Musical Exhibition Original Cast [Will edit link later]
Bad Girlfriend by Anne Marie
Favorite Picture:
Top Ten Anime Moments Before Disaster
Tumblr media
I just feel for the both of them ;w;

You're every fandom's dream! Your blog is like paradise. I know you don't ship spideychelle and parkner *i wish u did* but can you give us a list of your OTPs and NOTPs? and explain why you like them? and why not?
Hi♄ 
Thank you, sweetheart
Do you mind if I add BROTPs?
OTP’s:
Peterliz: I just love how they are their own personalities and still can like each other in the adorable way they do? Liz is exactly like Laura described her, a girl not motivated by the boy but willing to fall for him. I think it’s neat and fresh (Laura said Liz isn't your typical surface-level Mary Jane. You know, the damsel in distress (war flashbacks to Kirsten Dunst’s MJ). She’s actually super smart, she’s a valedictorian, she does the academic decathlon, she’s on every committee. She’s the most driven, Type A person in school, but she’s also kind) and Peter can identify with this as well, given that the boy can potentially be the smartest person in the room if he wants to. Peter thinks highly of her (She’s the best. She’s awesome. I just... I really want to tell her, but it’s kind of weird, you know? “Hey, I’m... I’m Spider-Man”) and cares about her achievements (Wow, you really... This is really important to you) and Liz knows him (you don’t need to study. You’re, like, the smartest guy I’ve ever met) and knows something’s going on with him but respects that (’I want to be mad, but I’m more worried’ ‘You’re terrible at keeping secrets’) And I think some people misinterpret Liz’s actions with Peter because they desperately want her to be the mean popular girl and that’s not it. Reading the novel, I think some people would get the insight behind Liz’s actions. She likes Peter a LOT but he’s always blowing people off because of his alter-ego Spider-Man. There’s a part where Liz mentions how Peter is always busy and she always gets disappointed about it. This hurts them both because Liz wishes Peter could give himself a rest and stop carrying the world on his shoulders and Peter wishes he could be normal and be with her. It’s the angst, this is what drives me lmao 
Fosterson: They’re going to be forever in my heart. The most unproblematic ship ever. It’s adorable how much they push each other to be better. Thor pushes Jane to do things she’s never done before and she pushes him to consider things he’s never done before. It’s a balance. I love that about ships, when they help each other grow.
AntWasp: The most supportive loving partners ever. I LOVE THEM.
Taser Tricks: Yeah, I know. They’ve never met but I ship them lmao. I think that if they finally interact in Love & Thunder, we’ll see if they match or not. Darcy’s bubbly personality could potentially contrast with Loki’s aloof one. It’s an interesting dynamic. This ship’s been around for years, I can’t believe we’re finally going to see them interact and with Waititi’s writing. Chef kiss.
Interwebs: I’m sorry but how come almost no one ships these two? ‘As long as you’re safe’ OMG like, how? They would be the softest boyfriends ever. Peter cares so so so much about Ned. Like, after May and Tony, comes Ned for Peter. Ned is his pillar and the person who grounds Peter. His biggest supporter. THEY'RE NEAT.
PalmerStrange: He changed and she walked away exactly because of this. Because Strange needed to be his own person first, and then he can go after her. She’s successful in her own harmony, is not scared to call him on his bs, she can see right through him. He listens to her, he respects her, and sees a partner on equal grounds. They’re fresh out of the oven. 
Ironstrange: Man, I’m sorry. It’s the chemistry for me lmao. They’re not my biggest OTP but I’m definitely up for them.
Carolmaria: Wives raising their adorable daughter♄ ‘Higher, further, faster, baby’ ‘you were the most powerful person I knew’
NOTP’s:
ScarletVision: I just don’t like them lol I respect the shippers but I don’t like the ship. I think Wanda needed more time to figure out her powers, her own identity. And Vision too. They both needed time and got caught up in everything else. 
Staron: This one doesn’t need an explanation. In this house we love and respect Sharon Carter. 
Brucenat: I’m sorry but lmao. I don’t think they have chemistry, and again, nothing against the shippers, but I kinda don’t like it when they give Natasha a different love interest in every movie. It’s like they tease a ship with a different avenger only because she’s the only woman in the group. I don’t dig it. 
Parkner: Nothing against them but I see them as Tony’s kids and it’s kinda weird for me to ship them if they’re like siblings and stuff. Apart from the fact that I can only picture Harley as a little kid, I don’t know why. Maybe because I see a lot of Tony in Peter, I feel like their dynamic would be like Tony & Harley in IM3. Harley asking thousands of questions while Peter ignores them just like Ned’s questions about spiders in HOCO lmao. They could be like brothers.
Spideychelle: Nothing against their shippers but I just don’t like them. I feel like this was rushed for fanservice, and I don’t see any chemistry between them. I think they would’ve been amazing bffs tho. Also, the fact that many only ship them because of tomdaya makes me uncomfortable. Don’t ship real-life people.
Look, I can respect the ships in the comics where Peter is an adult, it’s an alternate universe, that’s a different Peter Parker; a complete opposite but MCU Peter is a minor and I’m watching yall. You people ship Peter with everything that moves.
Anything with MCU!Steve on it.
BROTP’s:
Maria & Nick: Partners in crime? Biggest brotp ever. She’s always going to cover his back. He’s always going to protect her from everything. She’s the one person he trusts the most in the world, you can see that.  
Sciencebros 2.0: SHURI AND PETER WOULD BE BEST FRIENDS♄
Tony & Darcy: There was a time, waaay before Peter, where people used to see Darcy as Tony’s daughter in the fanon world. I was one of them lmao. I think they could be a fantastic brotp now. 
Rhodey & Pepper: Basically every member of the ironfam lmao
Happy & Peter, Peter & Rhodey, Rhodey & Happy, etc.

(Not so good at) Sneaking around
Tumblr media
Peter Parker x Stark!Reader
Teen & up
Warnings: None
The Request:
Hey! So we always see the Reader and Peter sneaking around Tony and he suddenly finds out when he catches them making out or doing it and freaks out and it's like "Run Peter, run!" But c'mon!! There's no way his daughter could hide something like that from him I mean he's Tony freaking Stark! So just once I would like to see a fic where the Reader and Peter think they are being so smart and sneaky but Tony knows all along and just let's them go on because it's so much fun for him to see them running around and freaking out and just nearly giving them heart attacks every time he 'almost catches them'. Also let's be honest, he would totally ship it!
“It’s happening! This time it’s definitely happening!” Tony got in the bed whispering excitedly.
“What is, Tony?”
“SpiderStark! Y/n and Peter!”
Pepper turned around to face her husband, exasperated and refusing to have to be awake at such an ungodly hour.
“You say that at least once a week
”
“Yes, I know, but this time it really is happening!” He insisted, excitedly, “I was walking down the hallway outside y/n's bedroom and I hear them yelling at each other and
”
“How is yelling at each other conducive to them getting together?”
“Because of what they were yelling! Hear me out
”
Tony was having a pretty shitty night, the coding for his newest AI refused to cooperate but he couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. He was missing something. He needed another pair of eyes.
Peter was out with MJ, great kid, really, he would totally be on board with that relationship if it weren’t with the fact that it was getting in the way of his OTP.
Because that’s what they were, ever since princess Shuri had explained the terminology to him, he couldn’t help to think about his own princess and his protĂ©gĂ©e like that. Because, let’s be honest, no boy was ever going to be enough for his precious girl, but the one he loved like his own? The one whose genius rivaled his own, the one who was braver than Cap himself, the one with a heart more pure than Thor's? That one came pretty fucking close.
And he wasn’t blind, he had seen the little glances they stole when they thought no one was looking, the way that “personal space” lost any meaning when it came to them, those kids were crazy about each other.
Now if only those two morons would get along with the program 

Anyway, Peter was out with MJ and Harley had gone home for the weekend. His own precocious teenager was geeking out somewhere on the tower with Loki of all people (and don’t even ask him how the bastard was still alive, Thor himself had just shrugged and welcomed him back), but he was going to have to interrupt them -such a pity - to ask her for help.
“If you’re looking for your firstborn, she just left for her bedchambers” Loki said without even raising his eyes from the book he was reading, sprawled on the sofa of the main living room.
“So early on a weekend night? You managed to bore her that much?”
Loki rose an eyebrow in obvious contempt.
“If you must know, she was visibly distressed after the spider-brat showed up. So much that so that she was of no use to any of our respective investigations so she decided to call it a night.”
“Distressed? Peter Distressed her?”
Loki scoffed,
“That little insect is not as harmless as you seem to believe
”
Tony rolled his eyes.
“Whatever, Snivellus. I’m gonna find her, she’s probably still awake.”
You were awake alright. Yours and Peter’s voices could be heard from the hallway. Frowning, Tony got closer to the room.
“
 and where do you get off of telling me what to do or who to talk to?!” distressed, his ass, you sounded furious. “You are not my father, you are not my brother, you are no one!” Jeez, kid, harsh much? “You are just my friend and-!”
“That’s bullshit, y/n! That’s so much bullshit and you know it!” Tony didn’t think he had even heard Peter swear before, but he would have been the first to admit the tension between you two was bound to explode sooner or later. “The way we touch? The way you look at me? The whole way we just
 are with each other, that’s not how friends are supposed to be! You wear my freaking t-shirts to bed, for God’s sake! Just admit it, baby, we haven’t been just friends in a long time.” He finished, voice full of venom.
Your dad froze outside your door. He felt the need to intervene, to put a stop to the argument before it could escalate even more and both his kids said things they would regret. But on the other hand, he had no idea what to do or how to break up that fight. Teenagers were a scary breed, especially female ones

Especially Stark ones.
There was a loud crash against the door.
“What the Hell, y/n? You can’t just throw a vase at me! You could have hurt me!!”
His daughter’s response must have been in a lower voice because he couldn’t hear it. Tony got closer to the door trying to listen but the voices sounded muffled now, softer.
There was another dull thud on the door, as if something heavier had hit it, and then a stifled moan, and Tony left hurriedly, before hearing something he really, truly didn’t want to hear

“
 Wow”
“I know, right?” Tony sounded still amazed. Pepper, good pragmatic Pepper, wasn’t as enthusiastic.
“ And you are not bothered at all by the fact that your oldest daughter is currently making out, maybe even more, with a boy in her bedroom?” She inquired, skeptical.
“Honey they are eighteen, and they are smart. They can be a lot of things, but irresponsible is not one of them. Besides,” Tony left out a yawn “Peter is a complete gentleman.”
“It’s not him I’m worried about” Pepper muttered, but Tony’s eyes were already closed.


Tony Stark started to suspect Peter Parker wasn’t as much of a gentleman as previously thought a couple days later, when he caught you trying to sneak out of the med bay.
“I can’t believe you licked the alien thing” Bruce was so done as he and your father turned the corner.
“It worked! It was DNA activated!” Tony countered.
“But you didn’t know that at the time! Oh, hi y/n
”
You stood there like a deer in the headlights, cursing silently: it was just your luck to crash into them when you were almost on the clear. You had been so close, but the tell tale glow of the Starkderm -Your father’s high tech take on the transparent medical dressing, designed to aid in healing and completely camouflage wounds, making them indistinguishable from the patients skin once activated- on your neck, let you know your little mission had failed.
“Sweetie, are you ok? Did you get hurt?” Bruce’s tone was anxious and the guilt Tugged at your heart for making him worry. After all they had been through, they didn’t deserve it.
“You should let Bruce take a look at that, neck injuries are a serious matter, kid”
Had you been in a better mental state you would have noticed the amused glint in your father’s eye that belied his concern; but as it was, high on adrenaline and embarrassment, you didn’t see it.
“NO! I mean
 n- no, it’s nothing, I mean -just a stiff neck.” You stammered, “That’s it, just a stiff neck. I thought maybe the analgesics in the Starkderms might help. I- I gotta go now. Bye!”
You practically ran out of the room, leaving behind a bewildered Bruce
 and a clacking Tony.
“Oh my God!” your father was literally doubled up with laughter, “Did you see her face? She was so red she could’ve given the old mark II a ran for it’s money!”
“I don’t understand, the Starkderms don’t work on soft tissue sprains
”
“Oh Banner, you pure, innocent jolly green giant
” Tony wiped a tear from the corner of his eye and put a hand on his friend's shoulder -well, he tried for the shoulder, but the forearm was as high as he could reach- “It was a hickey. She was trying to cover a hickey”
Banner was even more confused,
“A hickey? But how? who..?”
Tony just raised an eyebrow.
“
 No, no way!”
“Yes way.”
“Get out! Finally?”
“Yes, my friend,” Your dad patted Bruce’s (lower) back “Fucking finally!”


“I think your father knows”
Tony froze on his tracks right outside the kitchen as soon as he heard Peter and you talking about him.
“What? Why would you say that?” You sounded slightly alarmed, but not enough, in his opinion. Surely he was more intimidating than that, he was Tony fucking Stark after all.
“Well, you know since my aunt and I moved to the tower we have been doing our grocery shopping ourselves
”
“Yeah, I know” Tony could practically hear your eye roll, he knew you shared his opinion on the ridiculous Parker pride that meant that, despite May and Peter finally accepting to move in with the rest of the team into the new Avengers Tower, they still refused any and all financial help from Tony; never mind the fact that your father paid for everything for the other avengers.
“Well, last night after patrol I was tired and I forgot May had asked me to go to the store,” Peter sounded like he was blushing. Tony hadn't even know that was possible. “so I asked Friday, right? And then, when the groceries arrived
” Peter ended his explanation with an unintelligible mumble.
“What? I’m sorry Pete, I didn’t quite catch that last part” Your mirthful tone let your father know that Peter was blushing even harder. Tony had to stifle a laugh, he knew exactly what had been in those groceries

“Condoms, ok?” Peter finally blurted out, “There was a box of condoms in one of the bags that I definitely didn’t asked for!”
“And you think that, what? That my father did it?” You said incredulously “They probably just mixed your order with someone else’s. Peter do you seriously think my father bought us condoms?”
“
 Well, when you put it like that, it does sound a little ridiculous
”
You scoffed,
“You think? Besides,” You added, “we would know if my dad knew, he’s not exactly subtle, you know. Do I need to remind you the Carter Baizen incident?”
“The what?”
“You seriously don’t know?” You sounded beyond incredulous and we’ll into stunned territory now. “It was everywhere. My dad saw him trying to put his hand underneath my skirt once, while we were dating, and he blasted his car
”
“That was true? I thought the tabloids had made that up!”
“They didn’t. So, you see there’s no way we wouldn’t know if Tony –“
“Hey, did someone say Carter Baizen?” Your father interrupted, choosing that moment to finally walk into the kitchen and making you and Peter jump three feet apart “Because I swear, if that bastard is lurking around again
”
“Hey dad! No, ew that would be super creepy. He’s like, super old now
”
“Hello my heart.” He came next to you and kissed your head. “You better be telling the truth, because if I ever see him near you again, I will disintegrate him.” He then looked Peter dead in the eyes over your shoulder as he said, “Nobody puts their hands on my baby girl and gets to keep them”
Peter swallowed hard. Tony smirked. Oh yeah, he was still intimidating af.


“Friday, where’s my oldest daughter?” Tony asked certain Saturday evening, not having seen you in the whole week, thanks to the mission your team had been on.
“She’s in her bedroom on the penthouse, boss”
“Really? She’s not, you know, on the third floor, west side of the tower?”
“Negative, boss, she’s not at the Parkers’.” Friday sounded amused, “However, Peter is in her room with her.”
“Figures.” Your dad grumbled. But then an impish little smile appeared on his face: It was time to have a little fun messing with his favorite pair of jumpy teenagers.
As he neared your room, he was able to hear music, whooping, laughter and
 Rihanna?

 So gonna let the rain pour,
I’ll be all you need and more

“Sweetheart, can I come in?” Tony knocked on your door, and the laughs immediately stopped.
“Just a second!”
A lot of shuffling, the thud of something heavy hitting the floor and a few muffled curses reached his ears. A minute latter, a very flushed You opened the door.
“Hi, dad!”
“Hi, baby” He stepped past you into the room and took a look around: The bed was made (thank God) but there were a few pillows knocked off it, one of Peter’s sneakers was visible underneath the vanity and a pair of pink my little pony boxer shorts were laying on the carpet. Your dad poked them with his shoe.
“Nice shorts,” He commented casually, “I thought you had gotten over rainbow colored horses when you were six
”
“Stranger Things made them cool again” you hurried to explain, “Well, not cool cool, they’ll obviously never be cool, but like, cool amongst nerds. It’s more like a nostalgia thing
 and who wants to be cool anyway, am I right? Cuz-
”
“Sweetheart, you’re rambling” Tony pointed out and you instantly shut up. “I just wanted to ask you and Peter if you wanted Italian for dinner. Where is he, by the way? Friday told me he was with you
”
“That traitor!” You murmured under your breath.
“What was that, my heart?”
“Nothing, dad” You replied, proud of how even your voice was despite of your heart trying to leap out of your body. “You just missed him, he left like two minutes ago to take a call from May. But I’m sure Italian’s great, he loves it.”
Tony wouldn’t admit it, but he was kinda proud too, you were definitely getting better at lying. As a father it was a scary thought but he knew it was a valuable skill in your shared line of work.
The only thing was, I wasn’t nearly as fun to mess with you if you didn’t fumble and stuttered your way out of the situation.
“Right, then, I’ll go tell Pepper to order while Mor and I set the table. You’re on dish washing duty tonight.”
“Sure, no problem dad.” If Tony hadn’t already known you were trying to hide something, that right there would have tip him off: You never, ever in your life had done the dishes without complaining.
Yeah, you were getting better at lying but there was still a long way to go.
As soon as your dad left, Peter got out of the ensuite, stark naked and arms full of clothes.
“Is he gone?”
“Really, Peter? Really?” You deadpanned, “first you come out here naked and then you decide to ask if my father is gone?”
God, he was so lucky he was pretty.
He chose to ignore your sarcasm.
“And he didn’t suspect anything?”
“He didn’t. Apparently My Little Pony is girly enough for these to belong to me” You snickered, holding his underwear up. He took them, blushing and mumbling something about a gag gift from Ned. Once he had them and his jeans on, he flopped down on the bed, rubbing his face with his hands.
“I knew the striptease was a bad idea!”
You laughed harder at that,
“You said you had moves! I had to see them!”
He peered at you through his fingers.
“Was I any good at it, at least?” he asked shyly but you could see the beginnings of a smile on his bitten red lips.
“Babe, you are the best Rihanna ever,” You said truthfully, “ I’m even tempted to put you on a full on French maid costume. Fishnets and everything.”
You leaned down on the bed to kiss him, but he used his super speed to flip you over so you were one your back and he the one above you.
“God, you are so weird!” He declared, but there was nothing but adoration in his eyes.
“Hey! Don’t kink shame me!” You batted half-heartedly at his chest.
The rest of your complaint was swallowed by his lips.


“Daddy! Daddy!” As soon as Tony put a foot inside the penthouse he got tackled by a little dark haired meteor.
“Maguna! Hello baby!” he grunted as he picked the littlest of his troublemakers up. He was getting old, and his little squirt was getting big. He started to walk the both of them towards the kitchen. “How was your day out with your big sis? You girls did something fun?”
“We did!”
Tony scowled in mock outrage,
“How dare you? I specifically forbade you two to have fun without me!” he growled to a giggling Morgan “There can be no fun if I’m not there, I told you!”
“We did! We had fun!” She confirmed delighted. She was obviously not intimidated in the slightest, and Tony was starting to resign himself to the fate of not being feared at all by his daughters.
“What did my girls do? If it wasn’t too fun, I shall allow it
”
“She and Peter took me to the Queen’s zoo!” She replied excitedly, “There were Coyotes! And there were mountain lions and sea lions! And we saw the sea lions have lunch! And then we had lunch. Oh and I got to feed a baby goat!”
“Really? You did all that? In just one day?!”
“Yes!” She confirmed, “And then y/n said she whished she could keep one of the sea lions as a pet, a little one, like a sea puppy! And I said yes, but Peter said he couldn’t let us steal a sea lion!” Morgan frowned, indignant. She looked so adorable that Tony was having a hard time trying to hide his smile.
“Did he now? The nerve on him!” He played along.
“I know! And then y/n pouted, and I made the puppy dog eyes
”
“The what now?”
Morgan sighed,
“The puppy dog eyes,” She explained, tiredly, as if she believed her father to be exceedingly slow, “It’s when I make my eyes real big and sad. Y/n taught me”
Tony rolled his eyes, unsurprised and unimpressed by that little piece of information.
“Anyway, she was pouting and I was making the puppy dog eyes, so Peter said he would be our sea lion instead. And he was making like this” Morgan started flapping her hands and barking in a rather hilarious impression of a sea lion. This time Tony couldn’t stop himself from cracking up, but far from offended, Morgan smiled, pleased with herself.
Once they reached the kitchen, he placed her down on the counter and started gathering the ingredients for a couple PB&Js while Morgan continued the retelling of her latest adventures.
“
 And then, at the Aviary, I saw y/n and Peter kiss! But they told me not to tell you, cause it’s a secret
”
“They didn’t try and bribe you into keeping it?” Tony asked amused, without stopping to spread peanut butter on a slice of breath.
“Yeah, they did. They bought me ice cream and a sea lion plushie
”
Tony turned to face his daughter.
“Then why are you telling me?”
Morgan gave him a look far sinister than any seven year old should be capable of,
“Because they would only let me have two scoops
”
Tony had created a monster.
“Wow. We are so lucky you don’t know who Spider-Man is!” Tony commented, thinking just how much it might cost them for Morgan to keep a secret like that.
“But I do know Spider-Man! He’s my friend!” Morgan replied, having totally misunderstood her dad, “And whenever you are away on a mission, he’s the one that comes to check for monsters in my closet when I can’t sleep at night
”
“Of course he does” How was Tony ever supposed to hate her daughter’s boyfriend, when he was Peter Parker?


“Harley, what happened?” Tony demanded catching up with the boy on the hallway of the Medical Research and Treatment wing of the tower. Otherwise known as the medbay.
“Tony! It was that fucking Goblin again. He had some kind of gas he tried to douse on y/n. Peter took the hit for her.” The blond boy answered, falling into step beside Tony toward the infirmary, were Peter was being tended to by both Banner and Strange.
“I told you a thousand times, kid: That’s Mr. Stark, or boss for you. I’m your superior, show some respect, this is supposed to be a mission report.”
“Sorry, sir” Harley continued, sounding anything but, “We subdued the Red Goblin successfully and now he’s under custody of S.W.O.R.D. I believe they are presently trying to separate the symbiote from it’s host. Stature and Ironheart stayed behind to handle the clean up and I brought Spidey here.”
“Really? Y/n didn’t want to bring him in herself?”
Harley smirked,
“She knows I’m faster.”
“That I can’t argue with” Tony admitted, well aware of Harley’s disregard for safety rules in favor of speed. And the thrill of it, of course. “Do we know something about the substance that lunatic hit Peter with?”
“It was a poison, fast acting and apparently lethal on normal humans. On Pete's unusual metabolism, however, the effects are
 pretty interesting.”
Tony narrowed his eyes in suspicion,
“How interesting exactly?”
Harley’s smirk intensified,
“Why don’t you see for yourself, boss?” He motioned at the door with his head and Tony’s weariness grew: if Harley found it amusing, chances were it wasn’t anything good.
“Mister Staaaaaaark!” Peter’s cheery voice slurred loudly when Tony wasn’t even halfway through the door. He turned to Harley.
“He is high?!”
Harley didn’t even tried to hide his laughter.
“As a kite!”
Tony was convinced that one this days, one of his kids was going to make him roll his eyes so hard, that they were going to get permanently stuck facing the back of his head.
“Nooo, don’t go mister Staark”
“Tony, get in here!” admonished Bruce, who was trying to push back into the stretcher, as gently as possible, the loopy teen with the super strength currently trying to make his way to his mentor.
“Woah, careful there, champ!” Tony guided a squirming Peter to lay back down, “What would y/n say if she saw you trying to escape like this?”
Tony never thought a person could make the exact same face of the heart eyes emoji. He was wrong.
“Y/n! She’s soo gorg- so gurgeu- so
 she’s so pretty, and strong and braaave
” Peter gushed, “And I’m so so lucky, cuzz she’s my girl- my girlfriend
 how did I get so lucky, mister Staark?” He looked at Tony as if he was just realizing who he was talking to- Which was probably exactly what was happening- and seemed suddenly petrified.
“Oh no! No mister Staark, you can’t know she’s my girlfriend or you’ll kill me! Kill meeee!!”
“Relax, kid. I’m not telling mister Stark anything.” Tony tried to calm the easily distracted boy the best way he could think of. And it worked. Kind of.
“Thank you mister Staark. You did sooo much for me! You made my suits and you took us in and- and
 and y/n! You made y/n!! Did you make her in your lab too? Because she’s SOOOOOO perfect!
“Actually I did make her in my old lab,” Tony chuckled “Just not in the way you’re thinking”
“Dude! TMI!!” Harley quipped from the doorway.
“Seriously, Stark, don’t give the boy any ideas, I already walked into him and your heiress making out in the Sanctum enough times” Strange chipped in, holding up a syringe with a bright green liquid Tony assumed to be the antidote.
“What were they even doing in the Sanctum?”
“Besides making out? I’ve no idea.” Was Strange's dispassionate reply.
Peter was still spouting praise over y/n,
“She’s so niiice and sooo good and so brill- so smart!”
Strange came closer with the needle but Peter would have none of it.
“No! No needless! No pricking!” He started to struggle against Banner's hold and he truly did not want to hurt the confused kid.
“Tony, distract him!” He demanded.
“Underoos, what was that about my daughter?”
Peter’s face immediately lit up,
“She’s amazing, she smells so nice and her hair is soooo soft, like a princess!! But like, a- a badass princess
 like Leia!” Peter turned suddenly solemn, “Miiister Staark, do you think she likes me? Like, like like me?”
Tony smiled,
“Well, considering she is your girlfriend, I would expect so
”
“SHE’S MY WHAT?”
Strange used the moment of distraction to pretty much stab the syringe into Peter’s thigh. He looked so betrayed that Tony had the unreasonable impulse of hitting the wizard right on his smug face, even though he knew the doctor was only doing his job. Or one of them, at least.
“This should help you expel the toxin faster. You might feel drowsy and lethargic so I strongly recommend you to lay here, take a nap, and when you wake up you should be back to normal,” Strange hesitated, “Or at least, whatever is considered normal for a hormonal adolescent boy with spider DNA
 Seriously Stark, how do you even find them?”
Tony shrugged,
“You should see the one with the Prym particles irradiated heart”
Stephen Strange seriously hoped the billionaire was kidding.
“Right. If that’s all, I will be going now. Give me a call when the spider kid wakes up” He added to Bruce, “Even if you don’t consider it necessary, I would like to check on his evolution.”
“Will do, doctor” Banner gave him a reassuring smile. Doctor Strange could be cold, even a downright bastard sometimes, but he had a soft spot for the youngest Avengers, and that placed him firmly in the 'friends' category according to the oldest ones. He disappeared through one of his portals, that closed after him in a shower of sparks.
“Wow, that’s so cool!”
Tony sighed and was about to turn to go to Peter again, but to his everyone’s surprise, Harley beat him to it.
“Ok, Pete, that’s enough excitement for one afternoon”
“No, no, I want
” Peter ended his sentence in an unintelligible mumble but it was clear he was trying to sit up. Harley helped him to hold himself upright.
“That ok, Pete?”
“Kid, he’s not listening, he fell asleep” pointed out Tony.
“Ok, then” Harley guided Peter’s back to lay against the stretcher again, while Tony placed his legs in a more comfortable position. Once they were done, he raised a questioning eyebrow at Harley. The blond shrugged,
“What? I might not take a lot of things seriously, but he’s my friend
”
Bruce hummed unconvinced.
“You caught all that on video, didn’t you?” Tony correctly assumed. Harley gave him a dazzling smile in return.
“Every single glorious second of it, I even got some recordings of the flight back here. If you let me have some of the security footage of this room, we could turn it into a short”
Tony winked,
“You got yourself a deal!”
“God I’m so sorry Vine does not longer exists” Harley lamented, “This material is gold! Gold I tell you!”
“Well, I can always buy the company and bring it back
” Tony suggested, following the kid out. Bruce was left alone with the unconscious Peter, wondering what exactly was going to be awaiting the unsuspecting kid on the internet once he woke up.
“Wakey wakey, spider beauty
”
Peter really didn’t want to wake up, he had the feeling he was going to have the hangover of a lifetime once he did, but that little voiced lured him into consciousness like, well, like a spider lures flies into it’s web.
“Come on, Pete, open those pretty eyes for me
”
“Whu? Oh, oh hey babe
” Peter drowsily greeted you, managing to open one eye. You chuckled, relieved, and Peter thought that that right there was the most beautiful sound in the world. Facing the hangover to kill all hangovers was worth it, just to hear that sound again. He opened both eyes and took you in: You looked a little gritty, and exhausted from the last fight, but even so, you were still as breathtaking as the first time he had seen you, all those years ago.
“Hello, princess” He sounded much more alert now, to your infinite relief.
“Hey, there, handsome” you smiled at him and Peter felt his heart skip a beat. He vaguely wondered if it would always feel like this, or if he was going to get used someday to the idea of you being his. He seriously doubted that last one. “Is that my new nickname?” You asked.
“Yeah, yes it is. Because you are a princess. A badass princess, like Leia.” As soon as the words left his mouth, he was hit by the memory of everything that had happened earlier in that very same room. Peter groaned and covered his face with his hands, something he seemed to do every time he felt embarrassed, which lately was a very often.
“Babe, don’t hate me” He grumbled from behind the shelter of his hands, “But I might have told your father about us
”
Your laugh took him by surprise.
“Yeah, I know, he just gave me the “what are your intentions towards my protĂ©gĂ©e” speech”
Of all the reactions Peter had prepared himself for, that wasn’t one of them.
“Wait, so he isn’t mad?”
You snorted,
“I know! I was surprised too, but according to him, we won him a lot of money!”
“What do you mean?” Peter was sure the drug hadn’t left his system completely, cause you weren’t making any sense.
“Apparently there was a bet going on. He had a lot of money on “Secretly been together all along, just didn’t know it/refused to acknowledge it”” You explained, “and it seems Bucky made a lot with “Angrily confessed their feelings for each other in the middle of a fight” too”
Peter felt his jaw hit the floor,
“I think I need to lay down
”
“Babe, you are laying down” you pointed out.
“Well, then maybe I need to lay down next to you” He replied cheekily. You feigned an annoyed sigh.
“Fine, scoot over” You climbed on the narrow stretcher with him. The both of you barely fitted, laying side by side, but Peter wrapped his arm around your waist to stop you from slipping out. And if he held you a little closer to his body than was strictly necessary, well, you were openly, officially, his girlfriend now. He was allowed to touch you, to kiss you, to stake a little claim on you in front of everyone, here and there.
He laced the fingers of his other hand with yours, and held your joined hands up in the air in front of the both of you, testing the feeling of freedom, of not having to hide anymore, even if it was just of the infirmary security cameras. He couldn’t help the goofy smile he knew he must have been sporting on his face.
You stayed like that, admiring the way your hands looked together, before you had to ask,
“What are you thinking about?”
Peter seemed to gather his thoughts for a moment.
“You held my hand like this” He observed, pensive, “Back on Titan, I mean. After the snap, as we
” He trailed off, but you knew exactly what was left unsaid: As we turned to dust. As we died.
“And I know you must have felt it happening too, cause I remember I felt your fingers starting to crumble underneath my own and-“ His voiced cracked and he had to stop and take a few stabilizing breaths before he could go on. When he did, it was with tears on his eyes as he said, “And I know you were probably terrified, too, but you still held my hand and tried to comfort me. Because I was scared. Because I needed you. And then, when we came back
”
“We were still holding hands” You finished for him.
“Yeah” He murmured, quietly, amazed. He turned on his side, removing his arm from your waist, and placing that elbow on the thin mattress, supporting his head on his hand, to face you.
“I never told you this,” He confessed, “But I remember not wanting to let go” He squeezed your still joined hands, “I still never want to let go”
“Then don’t” You whispered, closing the distance between you, kissing his soft lips gently, trying to convey in that kiss all the adoration, devotion and longing you felt for him. He let go of your hand, only to softly touch your face, with heartbreaking tenderness, as he delicately bit your bottom lip in a silent request for permission. The helpless little moan that escaped your throat was all he needed to deepen the kiss, lips devouring yours, tongue worshipping every corner of the inside of your mouth, hands pulling you closer and closer, making your body come alive beneath his fingertips.
He rolled into his back, pulling you on top of him, one hand tangled in your hair, the other one trailing dangerously lower and lower on your back, seeking the skin under the waist line of your jeans, kiss getting quickly out of control.
When the need for air finally won, and you had to break the kiss, smiling at Peter’s attempt of following your lips with his, you knew. You knew, as certainly as you knew your own name, inexorably and inescapable like gravity. The words left your mouth in a breathless whisper, but as clear as the feeling behind them:
“I love you, Peter Parker.”
Peter could only gaze at you in awe, slack jawed and heart hammering so hard inside his chest you could feel it on your own. You saw the raw emotion in his eyes and knew he was about to say it back.
“That’s all very good but I think it’s about time Pete an I have a certain conversation”
The sound of your father’s voice had you both falling down of the stretcher in your haste to get away from each other.
“Dad! We were just-
”
“Mr. Stark! This isn’t what you think it is!”
Tony looked down on you at your sprawled positions on the med bay floor and scoffed.
“I think I know exactly what this is” He declared, pulling Peter up by back of the collar of his suit, “which is why I think it’s way overdue that Peter here, and I, talk about the birds and the bees
”
“Dad, no!”
“Dad, yes. Tell me, Peter, do you still have the box of condoms I sent you?” Tony left the infirmary dragging a tomato red Peter with him, and you just knew you were never going to get laid again.
Because if there ever was something worse than your father threatening your boyfriend to defend your virtue, it was your father giving your boyfriend sex advice.
The end.
So, this was too long to post in one go, I guess this prompt got outta hand. Or my characters got a little... Handsy.

Okay lets go full Crack ship and give John a real jealous moment... MJWren O.o for the ship thing.. cuz... the queens... need no king right? RIGHT?
THE QUEENS NEED NO KING. I couldn’t have said it better myself, Jane!
General:
Rate the Ship -   Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs
How long will they last? - Darling, with queens like this, not even Death herself could tear them apart.
How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Hard and fast, which is only natural when you’re meant to rule the world together. 
How was their first kiss? - Messy, lots of tongue and lipstick smears.
Wedding:

Who is the best man/men? - Sean, Mac, and Bobby! 
Who is the bride’s maid(s)? - Randy, Jane, Rowan
Who did the most planning? - Wren, although MJ helps some. Wren wants her opinion, just to make sure it’s perfect.

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 Wren tried her best to give MJ the wedding she would never forget. | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Sex:
Who is on top? - Wren loves to top for her badass wife. It’s not what you take, its what you give...right, Johnny Boy? MJ does like to take charge at times, and Wren is always...down...for that.
Who is the one to instigate things? - Oh, absolutely both. They’re heathens, honestly, and can’t keep their hands off each other. Wren is a touchy person, she’s gonna be touching MJ in one way or another, which gets returned, and then it escalates quickly. 
How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now. Very. They’re living their best Dark Queens life right now, and nobody would dare try to stop them.
How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head. There’s no horse head, but well...those rumors about John having a sex dungeon had to start somewhere, y’all.

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it. They have the range, really. It’s whatever they’re in the mood for.
How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory. TONS. Wren loves to snuggle with her wifey, okay?
Children:
How many children will they have naturally? - Together? None. MJ has 4 from her previous marriage. 
How many children will they adopt? - Wren adopts MJ’s kids willingly and lovingly.
Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Depends on the ages of the kids, but they’re working at it together. 
Who is the stricter parent? - Neither of them, really. 
Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Yeah...I think Wren would do it for the show of it, but let’s be honest, they’re gonna teach them how to do it right and to be safe. 
Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - They’re both pretty good about it, actually. And honestly, the teamwork really makes it work. Power Couple. 
Who is the more loved parent? - How dare you? The Goth Queens of Hope County are very much loved. Wren is only an evil stepmother to literally everyone else but the kids. 
Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? They’ll both go. Wren wants to hear how they’re doing, and MJ isn’t afraid to throw down with shitty teachers. Balance.
Who cried the most at graduation? - Oh god, both. They were a fucking blubbering mess, sneaking drinks of the wine in MJ’s purse. 
Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Both of them. Wren is paying for it and signing paperwork as her wife yells and screams in the face of the arresting officer. Wren smirks and flips them off on the way out. 
Cooking:
Who does the most cooking? - MJ, because she’s amazing and Wren fucking loves her for it. 
Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Neither of them. They love food so damn much. 
Who does the grocery shopping? - MJ used to, but Wren convinced her to just let it get delivered. It takes too much damn time, and MJ can spend that with the family instead. 
How often do they bake desserts? - More like they get baked (what are walk-in closets for, am I right?). Mary Jane is the baker of the family. She actually starts to make Wren cheesecake and all that. Wren is living her best life. 
Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - I would say meat, but gotta throw the veggies in there for the kiddos.
Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - MJ! Wren can’t cook to save her life. Wren will, however, take her out to different restaurants to show her off. 
Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Mary Jane. Wren isn’t the going out type, but she will absolutely do it if it’s something for the family. She’s all about family moments. 
Who is more likely to burn the house down accidentally while cooking? - Wren. She’s so damn hopeless.
Chores:
Who cleans the room? - Wren does.
Who is really against chores? - I don’t think either of them really like it, but it just needs to happen.
Who cleans up after the pets? - Both. 
Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Neither of them. You know how much that thing costs?
Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Wren because she can’t stand people being in her space, it freaks her out. Especially if its the in-laws. MJ’s mom eventually learns that Wren isn’t above pulling a knife on her. 
Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Both. And they’ll both go “babe! Look what I found!”...it’s a happy occasion. 
Misc:
Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Both of them, honestly. They try and join each other any chance they get. Sometimes that’s their “time away”. 
Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Wren with maybe one of the kids to keep her company. 
How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Halloween and Halloween 2.0--which does take place conveniently on December 25th. (nobody fucking cares what you think, Mable).
What are their goals for the relationship? - To enjoy and commit to each other fully. They’re in it 110%.
Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Both of them on a day they’re kid free. They need the extra sleep. But normally they’re both up early. 
Who plays the most pranks? - Both. They go back and forth, but most of the time its against MJ’s brothers.

Hot Mess Hair
Something about Peter Parker’s hair drove MJ wild. As a black woman, she would be hypocritical to jump out and run her hands through a person’s hair without permission, but boy did Peter’s hair tempt her. She felt bad for how hard Peter tried to look presentable for her. At school. On dates. Even the casual hangouts.
Whenever she saw his stylish, socially acceptable James Dean hair, she wanted to shove her fingers right through it and massage all the crunchy stiffness into that soft fluffiness she loved best. She never told him this. For one it sounded too intimate to say out loud, and for another she didn’t want to make him self-conscious about a hairstyle he had obviously preferred long before they even started dating.
Still, no matter what form Peter’s hair took, it had the power to smite her. The webslinging and the wall climbing were easy to watch with a bored grin, but so help her if his hair came close enough to touch. She loved it every time. In the morning when he pulls up to school, freshly showered, and he leans in to hug her and she smells the citrus and feels water dripping off the soggy tips. At lunchtime when he scratches his head over AP Calc homework he’s finishing at the last minute and a tuft of hair sticks out that he forgets to smooth away. At the end of a hot, humid day when his cushy coiffed hair is wilting into loose waves as he pecks her with a kiss and whispers a promise to visit after patrol.
He kept it styled every day at school, with the help of what she knew was a generous helping of hair gel, and she’d have to sit on her hands to stop herself from ruffling his hair. Doing that would only earn her a lecture about how she’d just wasted an hour of his morning routine. But, when he would come back late from a patrol, head emerging from the spandex like a turtle, his hair showed its true nature: a sweaty, curly, tangled hot mess. MJ emphasized hot. What could she say, she was a sucker for messy hair.
Untamed. Undone. Un-perfect. Hair like that made her feel like she was looking at the real Peter. Nights like this were her favorite time to see it. When they were watching an indie movie on the couch and Peter fell asleep in her arms, she loved to comb her fingers through his soft curls and rub the nape of his neck as his warm breath washed over her. His hair was relaxed, parting easily for her as she smoothed away the tangles. She wrapped a coil around her pinky.
“Mm-jay,” he muttered.
MJ stilled her hand. “Yeah, Peter?”
His nose scrunched up, and he reached for her hand. “Don’t stop, that feels good.”
Smothering a snicker, MJ resumed running her fingers through his hair. “What were you gonna say?”
Peter was quiet for a minute, and MJ thought he’d knocked out again until he said, “I really like you.”
That stupidly wonderful ache bloomed in her chest, even though she’d heard him say those words to her a hundred times before. She kissed the crest of his head, and even though his hair was a little greasy and knotted and gross, she liked it that way. She liked him even better.
“I really like you too.”
____________________________
WOW. That was the fluffiest thing I’ve ever written IN MY LIFE. And I’ve written some serious fluff - usually couched in some semblance of a plot, but still. What can I say? I’m a romance novelist trapped in a nerd’s body, and this is what came out of it.
I haven’t posted fanfic in over a year, but I saw Spider-Man: Far From Home and I couldn’t stop thinking about how obsessed I am with Tom Holland’s hair. Or how obsessed I am with my new OTP Spideychelle. Congrats, Marvel. You’ve sold me on my first MCU ship since Romanogers.

How I Started Writing Fanfiction, or, Oh No My OTP Is In Love
Y’all, sit down, Viv is going to tell you a story, but its going to be all about me and my life. It will be pretty boring so get comfy with a drink and a blanket. 
Everyone settled with a hot or cold drink of your choice? OK. So once upon a time this summer, I hadn’t started writing Fanfic and I didn’t have a Tumblr. What I did have was serious Pinterest problem. Pinterest was my endless scroll, and being the fangirl that I am, I had a ton of fandom boards- especially for Supernatural. A lot of my content was Tumblr posts that had made their way over, so I kinda had Tumblr lite. Anyway, at some point I read a post that said, “When I can’t sleep, I try writing fanfic.” I gave it a try. Of course, after keeping a few stories in my head for weeks on end, I decided to get Wattpad and write the stories down - after all, they were fully formed in my head, so why not? 
The first one I every wrote was Do You Want Me? It’s kind of funny, because I hardly ever write Destiel anymore. I might be the only person I know who got less into that ship once I got on Tumblr.  My second one was You Naughty Boy, featuring Sam and Rowena. At that point I didn’t even really think of them as a ship. They were just the two hottest people on the show, and if you’re going to write smut, why not write it with hot people?  Reading my early fics, I could be embarrassed,  but I’m not. Especially because those first few were so thoroughly written in my head before they ever made it onto the page (screen.) 
You all know that, of course, I got to Tumblr. I found a circle of Rowena fangirls and Samwena shippers- a built in appreciative audience for my stories. So I kept writing them. At first I was just writing one-shots, but then I started to realize that a lot of my Sam and Rowena stories were kind of happening in the same universe. There was no longer “first time” stuff and, without me ever trying, they were sliding into “established relationship” territory. Several things happened all at once, then: - S 15 x 03 which hit us all with the Samwena feels - I started talking to my therapist about my fanfiction. She encouraged me to see it as a creative and beautiful thing, not as dirty trash or something to be ashamed of. It’ still dirty smut, but it’s my smut and I’m proud of it. - I enrolled in @thoughtslikeaminefield MJ’s Transformative Crash Course in Writing Fanfiction. She really pushed me to take my writing to another level in ways that I am still discovering. She challenged me to understand my characters better, to explore their emotions, to show not tell. She asked me question after question about why my characters were doing what they were doing, what they were feeling, if it was in character. She told me if lust was their only motivation, I wasn’t writing hard enough. In short, she taught me to: lean in, push it farther, and write it out. I’m not going to pretend that I got it all, but it changed the way I write. 
So I return to my Sam x Rowena stories. I can no longer avoid the fact that I have, in fact, been writing a series. So I go ahead with the established pairing thing and- I’m writing the same Sam and Rowena, but it feels different. The first one is purposely, lushly overwritten- dirty and romantic at the same time- and that’s when I realize I’M SCREWED. I had to actively write out them saying “I love you” not once, but twice. When did that happen? How did we get here? I’m not ready for this! So I picked up an old request, thinking I would write something different. NOPE. I’m right back where I was, talking about trust and power and vulnerability. Now I’m REALLY SCREWED. I have a series on my hands, I have 2 characters about to say “I love you,” and I have no idea how we got here or where we’re going. Decision time. Obviously because I’m a writer and I love to make life difficult for myself, I decide the most prudent course of action is to revisit the whole series, writing as a cohesive story. MJ came to my rescue again with a gorgeous banner. Trying to describe the series to her helped me clarify what I was writing. At one point, we both sent each other song lyrics. One was Stevie Nicks and one was Fleetwood Mac. That still makes me giggle. She asked me what the main conflict of the series was. Since I have been writing it as a string of porn one-shots, at first it was hard to say. Then I realized that the conflict was exactly where I am now.  I have a banner, a song, and a pretty good handle on where I need to go next. But I’m going to make sure I take my time to lean in, push it farther, and write it out. In the meantime, I’ll be revisiting what I’ve written so far. I don’t plan to do major rewrites but some light editing and maybe add a bit here or there. 
If you’ve made it this far, thank you. If you’ve ever read or commented or reblogged my stuff, thank you. If you see stories that you think you’ve seen before, yeah, you have. I’d love another read. You might see something new
