What I got in mind?

Hcs for reader if dating Davey or perfectionist Steve lol

(Fem and introverted/shy lean!)

A/N: Job done! Thank you!!

Summary: Steve AND Davey dating headcanons.

DATING STEVE HEADCANONS:

-Your name is always brought up in every conversation he has. It gets to the point where he becomes unaware of the excessive use of your name… Sometimes in completely off topic conversations.

-He knows you dislike the spotlight, especially with his corruptive team within the FIB. He gets extremely protective if anyone (out of his team) mentions you.

-Steve is quite the hunk… Man has ASS, and he uses it well ; )

-You realise he isn’t as selfish as he seems. He is more insecure. Steve will cuddle with every moment he gets… Mainly when he becomes self-critical of his work. He likes being on top.

-You receive the best gossip of ALL TIME. Being an FIB agent who’s partly corrupt and extremely gullible, you hear all sorts of gossip.

-Weekly coffee dates.

-Weekly dinner dates ; )

-“Excuse me kind sir! You forgot to open the door for Mrs Haines here.”

DATING DAVEY HEADCANONS:

-You are both on the introversion scale, which means you both prefer the comfort of your own home.

-Takeaway date nights is a must.

-Davey prefers to keep you away from his work. He’d hate to get you into his mess.

-You have to constantly remind me that he isn’t as corrupt as Steve… He grows guilty.

-You two have such a strong connection that you don’t need words to understand each other’s thoughts and feelings.

-Having to turn his phone on silent every hour because his ring tone is SO LOUD.

-Davey buys you flowers every week and loves to see your collection grow.

-“I’ll be finishing work in an hour. Care to join me for a late dinner?”

-He sometimes calls in sick to sleep in with you.

-“I love you Davey.” He gets all giddy and grows bright red when you say this.

-Although he isn’t exactly a hunk… Boy knows how to hit it ; )

Mr and Mrs Criminal!

Pairing: Michael De Santa x Female Reader Characters: Michael De Santa ReaderSummary: Based on this request You are a criminal lawyer in the morning and a scammer at night or maybe both the whole day And your husband is one of the most notorious criminals in Los Santos How do you both lead this chaotic life?

AN: Michael and Amanda are divorced in this AU The reader is in her mid-30s and Michael is his in mid 40s Feel free to reblog and let me know your thoughts  Do not Repost.

Los Santos a city of saints a city of sinners you heard this a lot and from whom is the biggest FIB Agent Steve Haines AKA your ex-fiance. He was nothing but a man who held his own ego and had always demeaned you. Just when you were planning for your big fat wedding He decided to cut it off by saying "I don't wanna ruin my precious career" The career of corruption path that' when you decided to end this engagement and no marriage but still you maintained good frenemies.

And that's when your career started the life of a lawyer at first you thought it was an easy job you would provide justice to everyone but then that never happened when you were handed a bundle of cash by your ex-fiance's best friend Devin Weston to fight a case for him along with Molly your great nemesis.

But the money they paid you was less and you wanted more so what was the next idea scamming people and taking more money you would call them every night saying "Hello Mr.John you have won a prize of $2500 and will transfer you the money right now" and you instead transfer $2500000 and as him in to return more than that but the fact is you didn't even transfer the original amount you said and the poor guy became your first victim.

And now you started applying this strategy with your clients saying you couldn't do it unless they paid more money or make them have more losses in the case and that's how you became the dangerous Lawyer and a scammer(Although no one knew about the second job)

Fast forward to the present

You met Michael when Devin started stealing car business according to him it was a business but you didn't like it all three innocent men were being dragged but were they that innocent you had to know that began your plan to scam the three and the first was Michael.

Fast forward to the present

You met Michael when Devin started stealing car business according to him it was a business but you didn't like it all three innocent men were being dragged but were they that innocent you had to know that began your plan to scam the three and the first was Michael.

"Here goes nothing," you muttered to yourself, adjusting the voice changer before placing the call. Michael was your first target, and you had to ensure everything went smoothly. The phone rang twice before a familiar voice answered.

"Hello, this is Michael."

"Good evening, Mr. De Santa. This is Samantha from the Federal Tax Agency. I'm pleased to inform you that you've won a tax rebate of $5,000."

Michael's tone shifted from curiosity to skepticism. "A tax rebate? At this hour?"

"Yes, sir. Our system processes rebates around the clock. To expedite your payment, we need to confirm some details. Could you provide your bank account information for the transfer?"

There was a pause on the other end, and you could almost hear Michael weighing his options. He finally spoke, his tone cautious but cooperative. "Alright, let me grab my details."

As Michael went silent, presumably to find his information, you smirked. Everything was going according to plan. But then, unexpectedly, the line went dead. Before you could react, your phone rang. It was a restricted number.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Y/N," Michael's voice was no longer cautious but filled with a chilling calmness. "You think you're pretty clever, don't you?"

Your heart skipped a beat. How did he know?

"Michael, I don't know what you're talking about—"

"Cut the crap," Michael interrupted. "I know it's you. Lester figured it out. He's been tracking calls like these for weeks, and guess whose name came up?"

You swallowed hard. "What do you want, Michael?"

"What I want," Michael said slowly, "is to make a deal. You stop scamming people, and I won't let the authorities know about your little side hustle. In return, you help me with Devin Weston. I want him out of the picture."

This was unexpected. A part of you wanted to resist, but the other part knew that crossing Michael and Lester was a dangerous game. You were in too deep.

"Alright, Michael. You have a deal. But if you double-cross me, you won't live to regret it."

Michael chuckled. "I think we understand each other perfectly. Welcome to the team, Y/N."

The call ended, and you sat back, trying to process what happened. You were no longer just a lawyer and a scammer. Now, you were part of a bigger game that could make or break you.

The first step was clear: meet with Michael and figure out how to take down Devin Weston. And you had to do it without drawing suspicion from Steve Haines or anyone else who could jeopardize your newfound alliance.

This was the beginning of a dangerous, high-stakes game. One wrong move and everything could come crashing down. But if you played your cards right, you could come out on top, more powerful than ever.

Soon you met Michale who was a professional robber who was known for his biggest robbery in North Yankton as Michael Townley and had ambushed it to stay away from the criminal life and give his family a happy life which derailed quickly You also learned Trevor who knew since North Yankton and Franklin who broke out into his house

Lester was the man behind the catching of you even though the dude was annoying he was still fun. And you loved it

"We need to devise a plan to bring these people down" From there, you started your plan to bring them down and you did Devin went bankrupt, and Steve's bad thing that is corruption got caught and whatnot.

Many months later Michael was the kingpin of the criminal world and you were the queen of scamming

(if I used panels starring a specific character, I wrote something about that character, especially if they weren't mentioned anywhere else in the reader)

I hope this is useful to someone, I love comic book history and the reason I started reading comics was actually because of the history of queerness in comic books, so I'll just be glad if one other person sees and enjoys this.

Resources for an Incomplete Queer History of DC Comics

About two months ago, for my final project in an elective I was taking about Queer History I researched a part of queer history that we didn't touch on in class and then compile resources and create a reader based on our topic. I chose to research Queerness in DC Comics. This project was very important to me and it kind of feels weird to just let it disappear into the ether, and I figured it might be appreciated here.

This history is very much incomplete (it focuses very much on the 80's and 90's and my own centers of knowledge, lingering on things I found interesting) and I'm sure there are people who have done it better, but I wanted to share it anyway. This is also very much meant to be a celebration of queerness and queerness in comics, so it shines a very nice light on DC that they may or may not deserve. Some of the resources I'm including here aren't in my final project because of either time and space constraints, or because they were a little too out there to include in a project that was meant to be read by someone who doesn't know much about comics (but many of those sources were referenced in the project because I wrote summaries of some sources if I couldn't find one that did the job for me), inversely, the parts of my project that I wrote myself aren't in here because I really want to share the resources I found for whoever else might be curious. It's organized more or less chronologically, I'm putting links wherever I can, and I'll put an asterisks next to some of the resources that require some more background knowledge, also any sources written in the same color text (that's not the default) were used together to write a summary source. I hope someone at least finds this useful or interesting.

VERY loyal. He won’t cheat on you, and if you catch him staring at other people he will slap himself for you, he would feel so bad for looking at others.

He would shower you with gifts. Anything you want? You got it! You see something you like? It would be yours in seconds. If Steve was out and he saw something that reminded him of you, he would get it, even if it’s something small like a plushie or your favorite candy.

Steve will say that he isn’t over protective, but everytime you go out in public without him, his bodyguards would be there. “Just in case!” He would say, even if you could defend yourself.

You would feel so pretty, so handsome, so wonderful due to all of his kind words. Steve would not ONLY shower you with gifts, BUT he would also bath you in affection. He will make you love yourself.

Mr. Leisure Wear would convince you to work out and eat healthy, especially if you’re unhealthy. You would be in a better place under his care.

DEFINITELY a sugar daddy, if you couldn’t tell. Spoils you rotten and he loves it. You will have him wrapped around his finger.

Steve would be a little self-cautious, because people have been with him people he’s famous and he has money, he doesn’t want that to happen again. There will always be that tiny piece of his mind that will tell him things that, but once you start showing him that you love him for real, that tiny piece of negativity will fade away.

The Promise

Pairing - Bucky Barnes/Desi! Female reader

Warning - Angst, sad ending, more angst

Summary - Bucky Barnes broke one promise that meant the most to Y/N

Word count - 1.5K

A/N - This is my first ever fanfic, I am very anxious so please be gentle with me :) This was created purely to make y'all cry lol. This is a songfic of "Lag ja gale" of Lata Mangeshkar ji. I absolutely adore that song and found it quite fit for this story!!! Also English isn't my first language and there might be grammatical mistakes. Thanks to @soradragon for beta reading this and helping me complete it, you are a blessing. Love you 💙 happy reading folks!

It was  peaceful in Wakanda, a cool night had taken its place from the hot humid air of the day, the stars were shining bright and serenity hung in the air.  It was impossible to imagine what the next day would have in store for everyone. No one had a clue that tomorrow was the day that would change everyone's lives forever.

There was the sound of soft humming coming from the modest hut which housed the one and only the White Wolf and his lover.

Inside was you, singing songs softly in your mother’s tongue before the two would go to bed for the night. It was a nightly ritual the two of you shared. For Bucky had found your voice so soothing it would chase away the recurring nightmares that would haunt his sleep every night. Bucky Barnes was unable to sleep without his love in his arms, without her angelic voice singing for him, and without her soft hand weaving through his hair. 

You had an awful day today, throughout the day you felt anxious and restless. As if your mind has been screaming at you that something bad was about to transpire. You had no idea what, but it was bad. if there is one thing you hated most, it would be not knowing what will happen next.

You liked being prepared for everything! Your distressed state made you itch for your ma's presence and her wise words. So the next best thing to feel like she was there was to sing your ma's favourite song. It was a song you had  beautiful emotional memories attached to.

Lata ji's masterpiece ‘Lag ja gale’. The song that always left you peaceful.

"What's on your mind, chaand? No cheesy love songs today?" Bucky teased lightly, slightly puzzled by the song choice. Normally, you would sing more happy, sweet love songs when you were in a good mood, not to forget how out of character you acted the entire day. 

"Acha? You said you don't like my cheesy songs na, so I thought today I will comply with your wish and not sing my ‘overly romantic, Shona Babu songs.’”  You shot back, poking your tongue out as not to worry him. Bucky pouted slightly.

"Arre baba okay now don't pout, I was just joking. I will sing the cheesy songs again tomorrow, right now this song just feels right to me.” Hearing that, Bucky mumbled a quiet yes and snuggled deeper into you, holding you tightly and moving his head ever so slightly to listen to your voice.  

Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hasin Raat Ho Na Ho

Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho

Lag Jaa Gale Ae Ae… (Embrace me, dear, who knows whether or not this beautiful night will ever come again. Maybe in this life we may or may not meet again)

You remember the first time you met Bucky, in Shuri's lab. You were a   good friend of Shuri. You were a researcher staying in Wakanda with T'challa's permission and eventually befriended the Princess. The two of you loved to talk about anything and nothing. One day Shuri told you about the Winter soldier staying here in Wakanda. You had heard many things about him, but never had you seen him in the flesh. Till you saw him come into the lab, bruised and eyes swiming full of emotions, but the distraught was the most clear in those blue piercing eyes.

It was at that moment that you had decided you would help him, and try to soothe the aches and scars that had been covering his fragile heart. He was put in the cryo soon after your first encounter, but you couldn't help but think about him often.

Ham Ko Mili Hain Aaj Ye, Ghadiyaan Nasib Se

Ji Bhar Ke Dekh Lijiye, Ham Ko Qarib Se

Phir Aap Ke Nasib Men, Ye Baat Ho Na Ho (I have been given today, this time by destiny. To your hearts content see me closely, who knows, if your destiny, may present this situation again.)

Six months later, Bucky came out of the cryo and on his request, was given a small hut away from the palace in the fields. You often saw him, with his tiny herd of goats. You remember how one tiny goat - which Bucky had endearingly called Steve -  was the one who caused you to talk to Bucky. Maybe that's why he was still your favourite goat, afterall he was responsible for giving you the love of your life.

Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho

Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hasin Raat Ho Na Ho (Maybe, in this life, we may or may not meet again. Embrace me dear for this beautiful night may not come again)

Your phone rang suddenly. Bucky moved his head from your lap as you moved to get the phone, it was your brother who was calling you. It puzzled you, it was nearly midnight in India. "Y/N….jaldi aaja yaha… ma aur papa ki car crash ho gayi...I am so sorry, hum unhe bacha nahi paye." You went numb...The words didn’t make sense, you couldn’t make sense of them... Ma papa? No, no this can't be happening. You...you just talked to your mom a few hours ago! Bucky’s arms wrapped around you, holding you so close. He whispered some words into your ear trying to soothe you. But you couldn’t hear them, your mind just kept repeating your brother’s words inside your head like a mantra. That’s when the tears fell, soaking Bucky’s shirt. You didn’t remember you screamed. 

Paas Aaiye Ki Ham Nahin Aaenge Baar-Baar

Baahen Gale Men Daal Ke Ham Ro Le Zaar-Zaar

Aankhon Se Phir Ye Pyaar Ki Barsaat Ho Na Ho (Come closer to me, as I will not be able to come to you every time. Put your arms around me and let us cry our hearts out. Who knows, if our eyes will ever see these tears of love again.)

You couldn’t imagine what you would be without Bucky, your Bucky. He was your rock, You couldn't live a day without him. From the day you confessed your love for each other till today, not a day has gone where he wasn't showering you with love. Even through all his trauma and pain, he did his absolute best to be there for you, his sweet, sweet Y/N.

Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho

Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hassin Raat Ho Na Ho

Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho

Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hassin Raat Ho Na Ho (Maybe, in this life, we may or may not meet again. Embrace me dear for this beautiful night may not come again)

Remembering the past left you in an emotional mess, you didn't even realise when the waterworks started.

"Chaand? Hey, no shhh why are you crying? Is everything okay? Talk to me."

"Bucky?"

"Haan chaand?"

"Promise me that you will never leave me." You uttered in a broken whisper

"I promise."

He broke that promise. Bucky Barnes broke his promise and left his chaand. It happened so fast, the Avengers fighting Thanos, and suddenly everyone turning into dust.

You felt helpless and scared, numb and cold. what was happening? Bucky had told you to not come out of the palace unless told. He didn't want you to be in harm's way. No, his Y/N was too precious, he can't risk it. You reluctantly agreed, but you weren't of much use on the battlefield anyway. You just hoped your love would return to you very soon.

Steve broke the news, and your whole world collapsed in front of your eyes.

"Steve, no..no it can't be... please tell me you are lying. This isn't the time to joke around! Where is he!?" you couldn't help but scream at him. All your dreams, hopes and future with Bucky shattered. He was gone, in just a snap.  It couldn’t be real, this was a sick joke. that had to be it. A sick joke…

But deep inside, you knew it was real. All of it was real. The world around you seemed to crumble, all of it came down, it was as if someone let a glass cup fall and it shattered in a million pieces. Unable to be put back together again…

Now you had no one, no mom and dad, no Bucky...He was your rock wasn't he? He wasn't supposed to go...

After a few days, Steve offered to take you to America with him. The least he could do for his pal was to make sure the girl who had his heart was taken care of. But you couldn't go, it was too painful. Brooklyn will always remind you of Bucky, and you promised him when the time came to go back to his home, you will go together. No, unlike him Y/N L/N knew how to keep her promise.

You went back to India, to start a new life. A miserable one. If only you would have known that the last song you’ve sung to him would come true. 

You never sang your mother's favourite song again

Pairings: trans!male reader/ Steve Haines

TW: Smut

Michael pondered into the room with obvious curiosity. He walked alongside the other two, Franklin and Trevor. Being told to meet with urgency, Dave greeted them with unsuspected tiredness.

“Where are they?” Michael asked when noticing two empty seats.

His loyal FIB agent shrugged, “Somewhere. There was some bickers here and there… Then they just wondered off.”

“We ain’t too late, aren’t we?” Trevor chimed in.

“No, I suppose not. Stick around and they’ll return shortly.” Responded Dave.

“Man, they are probably at each other’s throats again.”

“Not quite, Franklin. I believe they are hiding something more personal.”

Franklin glanced at Dave, “What do you mean?”

The trio exchanged looks as the tired man between them placed down his coffee. He sighed.

“It’s not proved but they may be together… Just more… Friendly.”

Trevor busted out laughing at the thought. He held his stomach and antagonised Steve without his presence around. Michael shook his head with a grin and sat down, waiting for you both to show up.

-

“God, I feel so… AH!” Steve panted as you held him still. The guy has been under your skin all day… The second Dave went to buy some coffee, Steve pulled you aside and… Well, the situation proclaimed itself considering you were pushing your cock into his anus.

You were his first time. Remembering the moment he experienced the sensation, it’s a memory to use when he becomes too unbearably cocky. Steve hates the restrictions due to this… But it was a part of the fun. Coming to terms with his sexuality, you helped him through the crisis and he admitted his sexual awakening. Steve is not openly saying he’s gay, it’s a secret between you both.

“Feels good, huh?” You smiled and thrusted further into him. The man gripped onto the wall. His FIB uniform was loosely wrapped around his physique. His trousers dangled around his ankles and you were careful not to crease the shirt since after this, you’ll have to pretend nothing happened.

Steve nodded, his ego enlightening at the attention, “Fuck, you have no right to be so hot, dude.” There was lack of sincerity… It was Haines after all, he is filled with petty compliments, typical brat. And he loved being one.

“Oh my God…” He whispered in front of you.

Outstretching your hands, you held his waist and pushed him into you, deepening the intimacy and friction. Where he continues to whine, his voice grows more hallow as he approaches the need to climax.

“Keep i-it up… I need to… Fuck.”

You fastened the pace and bit your lip. Fuelled with concentration, you slammed yourself against his ass and abused the G spot. Steve gagged out a moan. He fell against the wall and panted for forbidden air. His cock between his legs whimpered and squirted out semen onto the floor, staining and igniting his secrets with you.

“Oh my GOD!” He cried through the stimulation.

Series of seconds after his loaded orgasm, you swiftly breathed out a heavy groan and pulled out to jerk the remainder of your lust. Avoiding the direct contact of his uniform, your cum drooled and dribbled onto your hand to avoid a mess. Steve was tucking his shirt into his trousers and gave you a flustered smirk.

“Remind me why I hated you again?”

“Sexual frustration,” You grinned, wiping your cum onto some tissue paper, “Don’t lie. You liked me ages before we got together.”

Steve scowled, “Yeah, yeah. You find it funny, big guy. I’m the boss here!”

“Okay, sir. We better go meet the others.”

“Sir? What are you playing at?” He protested and followed your lead.

-

“Look who decided to show up!” Trevor tormented, leaning forward onto his chair, “The two cocks.”

“Very funny, Philips. Maybe you should take a shower at some point. There is an invention called soap and hair-wash!” Slandered the man beside you. His legs were wobbly after your interaction, immediately catching Michael’s attention.

“Where have you guys been?��� He raised the question.

You scratched your forehead, “I went to the bathroom.”

“And I also went to the bathroom.” Steve stupidly said. You facepalmed… Now your cover was blown.

“Shit, man. Dave was right.” Franklin murmured as he rested his chin against the palm of his hand. Out of everyone, he seemed the least affected by this.

“What? Whatever. Get yourselves together! We got a revolution to plan!” Haines demanded with his beamy voice. You sat down beside Dave, earning a side eye which would suggest his awareness of your sexual relationship with Steve. There was no thought behind his eyes. It was like he knew…

“Are you gonna ditch us again and shag your boyfriend?”

Michael sighed, “Enough, Trev. Let’s get on with this.”

You inhaled shakingly as Trevor’s eyes burnt into yours. The psychopath found amusement in your embarrassment but luckily… He refrained himself from further humiliation. You’ll have to thank Steve for this MONSTRISITY later on.

Roman Holiday pt. 9

Pairing: Loki X Reader

Summary: Reader gets sick and, in dealing with their cold (that’s taking longer to shake than usual), they begin to see that maybe there’s more to their usual sparring partner than they originally thought. Maybe, getting sick was exactly what they had needed? 

Warnings: None, just lots of action! 

Word Count: 2.7k

A/N: Hey! Thank you all for your patience, I know it took a little longer to get this one out, but I promise we’re back on schedule!! I really enjoyed writing this part and I’d love to hear what you think about it!!! <3 

Loki sat across from you in the Quinjet, staring off into the distance. You hadn’t heard a word come out of his mouth in the last two days, and that hadn’t changed when Steve had told you yesterday that you were both needed on a mission. Even when you had followed Loki onto the jet this morning, he hadn’t said a word. It didn’t matter. You hadn’t paid him any more attention than he paid you. Whatever happened last week had been a fluke. Everything was finally getting back to normal, and you were happy about it. Or at least, that’s what you told yourself.

“You seem nervous. Is everything alright?”

You glanced over at Wanda, her kind eyes searching your face for something wrong. She had never ceased to amaze you. Never in your life had you seen someone so purely kind yet so truly powerful and terrifying. You were glad she was here. You had convinced everyone except for yourself that you were mission ready again and it was nice to have someone so trustworthy at your back in case you weren’t.

“A little.” You confided. “I know I was only out for a couple days but it feels like forever since I’ve been on a mission.”

She gave a little shrug, “Your worry is what reassures me that you take this seriously enough to know when you should and should not be in the field. And I’m not worried about you. I’ve seen you deal with explosives much more complicated than what you need to do today.”

You smiled, your heart warmed by her words. “Speaking of, I was thinking of making something that can only be detonated using your energy. They’d be perfect for missions that I’m not on and that way they can’t be used against us.”

“What would you need from me?” Her voice quivered slightly.

You knew how much she hated the labs, and understandably so, which is why you took her hand and squeezed it. “I just need you to show me what you can do. Nothing more.”

“Are you sure?”

You nodded and squeezed a little harder, “More than sure. And if that’s too much, then I’ll work with whatever you’re comfortable with. Trust me, it’s just an idea and there’s no pressure to get it done.”

“I’m glad you decided to stay.” She said.

You nodded, shooting her a small smile.

It had been hard the first couple of days at the compound, but you were glad you hadn’t given up. You wouldn’t have found the family that surrounded you now if you had. When your eyes found Loki, he still wasn’t looking at you. But he would have to soon. Both of you knew the drill. You had been doing practically the same thing on every mission you both had gone on together since Budapest. Apart from sparring, it was the only other time you worked together so well.

Budapest: A Year and a Half Ago

You looked around the shoddy room, still surprised by all the faces surrounding you. It didn’t matter how many missions you went on, every couple of missions you’d be hit with a sense awe and disbelief. You were a part of S.H.I.E.L.D. and it seemed that fact still managed to take you by surprise every now and then.

The abandoned apartment Steve decided to use as the base location was dark and humid and you pulled on the sleeves of your combat suit, trying to keep the heat in. It may have been cloudy and windy outside, but you couldn’t wait to leave the apartment - the humidity in here chilled you to your bones. It almost made you feel like something bad was about to happen and that was a sensation you were dying to escape.

“Our timeline’s been moved up so we need to move fast, strong and efficiently. Stay alert team. (y/n),” Your attention snapped to Steve. “We’re going to need a diversion on Jane Haining now instead of Belgrad.”

“How big?”

“Big enough to destroy anything we’ve left behind.” Steve answered like he was expecting the question. “But make sure its solely limited to that building.”

“When do I detonate it?” You were all business, the excitement of a new job seeping in.  

He turned toward Nat, “Can you get the job done in fifteen?”

She grinned, “You must be getting old Cap if you think it’s going to take us that long.”

When Steve looked back at you, his eyes were alight. “Ten minutes.”

You nodded. “And the second explosion?”

“Just get us enough time to get to the jet. Make a statement, but I don’t want anyone getting hurt.”

“So another twenty minutes old man?” Nat quipped.

Before Steve could roll his eyes, you spoke up. “It’s fine. I got this. I can detonate the first explosion from the initial location but I’ll have to move for the second.”

Loki twitched in the corner but didn’t say a word. It was easy to forget when he was on the mission too. He never said much, only nodded when Steve would warn him to stay in line, and did his job quickly and efficiently.

Steve brought Loki to Budapest for his illusions, useful for when breaking into the enemy lab. Although you could fine-tune your explosions to be more discreet, his illusions had much more finesse, and Loki’s talents were more useful when your explosions couldn’t have the element of surprise on the way out seeing as you had used them on the way in. Oddly enough, you and Loki were most useful when together.

“All right. Let’s move out. (y/n), Loki, get coordinated. Everyone else, lets move.”

Loki slid a glance your way, not moving from his lazy position leaning up against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest. This was the first mission that you’d have to be so closely coordinated and, although Steve had talked you through it multiple times, this was the first mission Loki would practically exhaust his magic. Meaning that, if you didn’t time your explosions perfectly, more than just the mission was at stake.

It didn’t look like he was going to say anything so you spoke up first, knowing you had to get this done as quickly as possible if you wanted everything to run as smoothly as possible. You weren’t going to risk anyone’s lives because he had an attitude. “How long are you going to hold the illusions for?”

He shrugged. “I’m not quite sure yet.”

You wanted to shake him. His nonchalance and disconcert for everyone else’s lives infuriated you to an unbelievable point but you couldn’t let yourself get riled up. The higher your emotions ran the greater the chance that you messed up. And you knew that an essential member of the team didn’t mess up. You scolded yourself. You were so focused on trying to make sure you stayed a part of this team - this family - that you weren’t focusing on what you were really doing here and the lives that were at risk. Because ultimately, you knew that you’d give up your spot here if it meant keeping any of them safe. You owed them that much for having gotten you out.

You took in a long breath to mask the bite in your words, “How the hell am I supposed to know when to detonate then.”

Hearing your voice, you realized you didn’t do as good of a job as you thought you had.

He sighed, pushed off the wall and signalled for you to follow him. You followed but another image of Loki walked off in the same direction cap had gone off in. It wasn’t easy knowing if you were actually following the real Loki or not but his shimmery quality as soon as you stepped outside made you realize that you weren’t actually  following your sparring partner.

Irritation made way for curiosity as the scientific part of your brain went into overdrive trying to decipher the illusion you had only ever been this close to in the middle of a sparring session. You almost asked him if he could come into your lab so that you could study his illusions to see if there was any way you could somehow work it into a new breed of explosives but you didn’t. The thought of the two of you alone in your lab, working late into the night filled your stomach with butterflies. And the fact that you couldn’t tell if they were good or bad made you keep your mouth shut.

After a couple minutes of following him through the streets you realized you were at  the location you had scouted to detonate the first explosion.

“As soon as the image flickers, you need to set of the explosion.” Loki’s voice came through the coms, the mouth on the image remaining shut. “Understand?”

You squinted your eyes, never having seen his illusions this close. Hearing him, without seeing his mouth move, yet knowing he was speaking to you, made you a little dizzy so you reminded yourself that technology was the only reason you could hear him.

“Do you understand? He repeated.

“Yeah, it’s fine.”

“Fine.” His image looked so annoyed you wondered if it was his natural state. “Remember, your life is on the line as much anyone else’s if you mess this up.”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence,”  You crossed your arms, “prick.”

The image went still and you realized that Loki was focused elsewhere. Maybe he hadn’t heard you. You wouldn’t be disappointed if he had. Watching the image attentively, you waited until it began to flicker after about ten minutes, and you knew it was almost time. The moment it winked out you triggered the explosive and the ground shook beneath you. Screaming filled the air and you knew that, in moments, sirens would soon follow. The explosion would have made you smile if you had been sure that no one had been hurt.

You were already on the move, as you followed the crowd away from the explosion and closer to your second location. The flames from the building could be seen from where you were, not far off from the Danube.

Now that the mission had been changed, you had no more than ten minutes to get half a mile away, which wouldn’t have been a problem if there hadn’t been a completely sketchy man looking right at you. You kept up a quick pace, playing the panicked pedestrian, but you were all too aware that the man wasn’t a regular person . He was clearly following you. And he was gaining ground. Shit. You picked up the pace and turned the corner, changing up your rout at the last minute.

When you looked down the alley behind you, you saw nothing. You almost sighed with relief until you ran onto the main street and practically into the man. What was even worse was that he now held a large knife. Widening your stance, you lifted your fists and ignored your pounding heart. You had practiced hand to hand combat almost every single day since arriving at the compound. Steve wouldn’t have deemed you mission ready if you couldn’t do this. Somehow, as he came slashing at you with the shinny blade, the words didn’t comfort you.

Coordinating the mission with Loki had felt weird but not enough so that it hadn’t still felt like second nature. After so many missions, his image now followed you around, staying close to you as you made your way to the areas you had chosen to detonate the explosives.

Apart from the Budapest mission, you had never spoken to Loki once you had parted ways.  Staring at his image, you wondered if he could actually hear or see anything on this side. Although you had decided that first day that he couldn’t, the way the image looked at you right now made you think otherwise. His arms were crossed and brows furrowed as if wrestling with something completely unpleasant. You wanted to talk to him, ask him what changed, but you couldn’t. No matter how much you wanted to, you couldn’t bring something like that up in the middle of a mission. You couldn’t risk putting anyone in danger with your petty feelings. You didn’t even know why you felt hurt anyways. You and Loki had always been work colleagues and nothing more, even before you got sick…right?

He began to fade but just before he winked out from sight you noticed two armed guards running across a rooftop, outside of the blast zone, and swore. Had they been a couple dozen feet further back they would’ve been hit by the distraction explosive you were about to set off but now, the rest of the team would think it was clear and would walk right into two machine guns. You couldn’t set them off now.

Instinctively you went to warn them through the coms but all you got was static. Shit. They had to be jamming the frequency.

You looked around, desperately trying to find another way to get the rest of your team home safely. You could do this, you told yourself, just think. With only one small, timed explosive, you couldn’t do much. You could fire at them but your accuracy at this far a distance wasn’t reliable enough. But you didn’t need to do much, all you needed to do was create a diversion long enough for the team to get out and then you’d be fine. You’d all be fine. Everyone would come home safe and sound.

Budapest flashed through your mind. You had gotten the job done despite the stab wound and you could do the same here. As you watched them pause at the edge of the adjacent building you realized that throwing your bomb at the base of their building would be enough to shake them off balance and maybe even cause them to drop their weapons. You were aware that if you missed your target, you’d give away your position and they’d shoot at you. You wouldn’t miss. Even if you did, at least you’d be the distraction Bucky needed to get the rest of the team out the door. You needed to do something. You needed to do something now. Because ultimately, you knew you’d give up everything if it meant keeping any of them safe. You loved your family too much to think that there was anything you wouldn’t do for them.

You took in a deep breath, ran out of your hiding spot and threw it as hard as you could. You watched as it sailed through the air, realizing too late that it wasn’t going to hit the target. When the blast hit, the guards turned, immediately spotting you. This was it, you thought, rooted to the spot in fear, this was where everything ended. This was how you died.

You braced for the impact, only to get rammed from the side and thrown onto the ground. Your head resonated and everything spun. It felt as if you couldn’t breath, the weight on your chest sending the world black.

Suddenly the weight lifted and the air came rushing back, your eyes closing in relief. Somehow, you weren’t dead. You were alive. How were you alive? Cracking an eye open, you found Loki sprawled on top of you and you let out a breath of relief, despite your aching body and the throbbing in your head. You cracked a smile, surprised by the fact that you really weren’t dead.

“What the hell were you thinking?” Loki growled.

Really looking at him, you realized the only thing you could see in those green eyes was fury. He may have saved you, but the look in his eyes made you wonder if it wasn’t so that he could kill you himself.

The Frederator Interview Dodeckamechapost

Hello all!

In a year and 3 months at Frederator Studios, I’ve had an amazing opportunity: to speak with many successful people in animation about their love for their craft, their motivation getting into it, and the moves that made their careers. 50 of these conversations have made it onto paper (one into a video!), and now, I bequeath them to you in this Master’s Collection! Da dun! From the start, I’ve composed these interviews with a particular reader in mind. That is any of you following who dreams of working in animation, and becoming a part of the shows that you love. If that is you, then I hope these conversations will be a resource for you. Everyone’s path is different - that’s an overwhelming trend in these! - but if you wish to become a cartoonist, there IS a path open for you.

This also marks my last post to the Frederator Studios Tumblr. I’ll miss you all, and Frederator! But my path is taking me on to the next opportunity. It has been a gift to share this cartoon joy with you. Thank you for it.
