Okay, so this is looking to be the longest chapter so far. I am over the main hump of writing it, I have gotten everyone where they need to be.

Now it is just time for dear Reader to try to pretend to be a normal human being and Danny to develop the most severe case of heart eyes.

Title: Bribery Rating: PG Fandom: Leverage Pairing: Eliot Spencer x OC

“I’m not wearing that.”

Eliot crossed his arms over his chest and tried to stare her down. She just grinned back, holding it up. The sweater in question had some stupid angry-looking cat wearing a Santa hat on it. It was the same cat Hardison kept sending him saying “is this you?”

“It’s perfect,” she said. “Or better yet, purrrrfect.”

He gave her an unimpressed look. She cracked up laughing. He pressed his lips together, trying not to smile. He liked seeing her laughing. She was always beautiful but there was something about when she was laughing, head thrown back as she cackled, the struck him. Maybe it was because she looked free in that moment, from anything that could harm her. Not that anything would. He wouldn’t let it.

“I’m not wearing it.”

“Oh come on,” she dropped her arms, still holding the sweater. “It’s an ugly Christmas sweater party. You gotta look the part.”

“This ain’t a job, darlin’. It’s just the bar.”

“I know, which is why I got this one!” She smiled and held it up again. He gave her another look, silently asking if she was serious.

“Alright fine,” she dropped her hands again and rolled her eyes. “Be a spoilsport.” Despite her not pressing, and reacting as playfully as ever, he could see the disappointment in her eyes. He tried to ignore it, but he hated to see her upset. Muttering under his breath, he moved forward and took the sweater from her.

Her face lit up and for a second he couldn’t help but wonder how the hell he had her. He didn’t deserve this woman. Especially when she looked at him like that.

She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. “Thank you,” she said, smiling against his lips before pulling back. “I’ll make it worth the trouble.”

He didn’t believe her. “Sure, sweetheart.” He leaned in for another kiss, wrapping the arm not holding the stupid sweater around her. He liked feeling her against him. She melted into him every time, like she trusted he wasn’t going to hurt her. He had no intention to, but feeling that instant trust, from someone who knew exactly what he did, was addicting. He never wanted to let her go.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. He tightened his grip, chest vibrating with a softer growl that he knew made her knees weak. He felt her shudder against him.

“Okay,” she pulled back, away from him. “Come on. We’re already going to run late.”

He didn’t let go. “How about,” he kissed her again. “We stay in.” He pressed his lips to her cheek. “I’ll cook,” he kissed her neck, instantly pleased at how she tilted her head, granting him more access. “And I can unwrap you for a present.”

She let out a soft whimper. Fuck. He definitely didn’t want to go. He could think of better ways to spend his time instead of being around people in a bar.

“Eliot,” her voice sounded a bit breathless. He liked it like that. “We promised.”

“They’ll understand.” Well, he’d have to listen to Hardison complain, but it’d be worth it. Besides, spending the night between her legs was far better than anything else they had planned. The party included. She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away. He sighed but let her.

“We don’t have to stay long. Just like…a couple of hours. Then we can come back here and I’ll make it up to you, okay?”

He stared at her for a moment and watched as her tongue darted out, licking her bottom lip. “One hour.”

“Done,” she said instantly. “And we can spend the rest of the night in bed.”

He kissed her again. He’ll have her in his bed until the morning, and longer if he can help it.

“But you have to wear the sweater!” she took it from his hand and pushed it against his chest. “Please.”

He groaned. The things he did for the people he cared about.

fyi this is the sweater I picture in this:

not the same

pairing: loki laufeyson x reader word count: 1.5k+ summary: you’re used to death because you can see the dead, but nothing prepared you for this. // set during infinity war  warnings: infinity war spoilers,  major angst, a hint of fluff if you squint, usual marvel themes, and possible typos by yours truly  a/n: get the tissues bc this one hurts my soul 

gif is not mine 

He won. 

Thanos won despite all your efforts — despite all the small victories along the way. It really seemed like you were winning and getting the advantage, but maybe you let that get to your head too much. 

Maybe, it just wasn’t enough. 

No matter how hard you and everyone on your side tried. 

Vision died at the hand of Thanos while fifty-percent of the population turned into dust, some right in front of your eyes that were soon blurred by tears. 

How were you going to get them back? 

Your knees had given out and collided with the ground after witnessing Bucky turn into ash and his gun meet the dirt. 

Staring at the spot he once occupied, you even didn’t comprehend Steve trudge over to where his best friend had once stood until he called out your name. You averted your eyes to the blonde with a tear streaming down your dirty and bloody covered cheek, mouth slightly agape with shock and realization at what just happened to all your friends — to your family. 

“Y/N, can you see them?”

Attempting to blink the tears away, you sharply inhaled and wandered your eyes around frantically before peering back at the captain with a shake of your head. He combed his fingers through his locks with a defeated sigh as he moved from his crouched position to sit down and hang his head. 

The power you had wasn’t exactly the most helpful in fighting bad guys, but it proved handy only if the person no longer existed. 

Seeing the dead wasn’t something you were born with, it occurred when you had a near death experience. 

Kinda ironic. 

The city was under attack and there was an explosion at the cafe you regularly visited. You had flat-lined twice on the operating table and when you woke up, you were met with Tony Stark. 

He felt responsible since he couldn’t prevent the explosion and wanted to make sure you were okay. You were in shock, not only because the Tony Stark was in your presence, but your deceased father was in the room.

Tony wanted you to be a part of the Avengers, promising that he and Bruce could aid you in learning and adapting to your new ability. You didn’t think you and your new found “superpower” was worthy of being part of the team, but you accepted nonetheless. 

Figuring out your ability was when you also met Loki.

In order for him to stay with the Avengers, he was forced to work with you, Bruce, and Tony in your training and experiments as some sort of punishment.  

At first, Loki was a bit of an annoyance, always making snide comments since it was obvious he didn’t want to be there — but they were never directed at you. With the help of the God, you eventually learned that you could summon the dead, but only if they allowed you to — they could choose to stay or leave. 

Although most of the time, it was out of your control. 

People would show up out of nowhere and you had to concentrate on shutting them out — to decide on whether or not they could be there. 

Eventually it was a two way street, either you both agreed to see each other or one of you declined. 

During your training sessions whether it be sparring or the fact that you could see the dead, you grew fond of the mischievous man. The two of you soon spent time together outside of your work, learning more about one another and it led into something more — a bond — an undeniable connection — love.  

Loki understood the thoughts and concerns you had about seeing ghosts, and the emotional toll it brought upon you. He helped you in any way he could and you did the same for him when he was fighting his demons and his past. 

He wanted to be a better person — for you. You were his motivation — his light at the end of a dark and seemingly never-ending tunnel. 

“Y/N?”

The blank stare you had on the ground jumped up, orbs searching your surroundings with confusion and desperation. 

It was Loki. 

Thor had come down with a strike of lightning in the midst of battle, accompanied with unfamiliar guests to join the fight. Loki must’ve been with him and you didn’t notice somehow. 

“Loki? Where are you?” 

“Right here, my love,” he softly called, causing you to zone in on his figure with a relieved smile that he wasn’t gone like the rest of them, missing the way his voice was filled with sorrow. 

“Thank God.” Placing a palm on your knee to stand up, you whimpered at the ache in your muscles, and the pain of all the cuts and bruises you received, especially where a deep slash was made on your bicep. 

Before you could trudge over to Loki, Steve spoke up, now standing with a bewildered expression. 

“Y/N, you see Loki?” 

The bizarre question felt like someone swung a metal bat to your gut as you halted your movements, peering at the captain who searched in the spot where the man you loved was. 

“Do you not see him?” you asked, glossy orbs bouncing between the two men. 

Steve shook his head and a strangled sob left your lips as you glanced over at a pained Loki. Your knees gave out once again, stating that he was in fact there before your very eyes — that he had to be.  

A pair of cold hands grasped your wrists that were entangled in your hair and you gasped, seeming to be in a ship with Thor, Loki, Thanos and his goons. 

There was a quick white flash and next thing you knew Thanos had his gigantic hand enclosed around Loki’s throat, cutting off his air supply.

Another flash and his lifeless body was lying there, face blue and eyes soulless. His brother gripping his form, mourning the loss he witnessed — and now you did.  

Flash. 

Your wide, traumatic eyes met Loki’s worried ones, not knowing what just occurred.

That had never happened before — seeing someone’s death — seeing it so vividly as if you were there in the flesh.  

“Thanos, he kil- he killed you,” you cried, squeezing your eyes shut, letting the tears spill. Your hand was against his chest where his beating heart would be pumping for you, but it was hollow — like the way yours felt. 

He was a ghost. 

He was dead. 

“How did you-? Did you see what happened?” 

You nodded your head, breaking down even further, unable to steady your breathing.  

Loki pulled you in, wrapping his arms around your middle as you wept. “Love, I’m so sorry you had to see that.” He cradled your head as you angrily balled the fabric of his clothing in your fists, grieving at the loss of who you believed to be your soulmate.

“Although I’m not physically here, I’m still here with you, dear,” he assured, drawing away to hold your battered face within his delicate hands, making you look in his eyes.  

“It’s not the same,” you murmured, voice broken along with your heart. “You’re not actually here — not with me. You’re gone and I’m the only one that can see you.”

He was aware of how you felt about that. That you couldn’t live your life talking to the dead or you’d go crazy. You wanted to surround yourself with life — with the living, not the dead. 

And now he was the dead. 

“But that doesn’t mean I’m going to give up. I’m going to get you back, Loki. I need you.” 

He couldn’t help, but smile. He also couldn’t help the thought of you letting it consume your life, to become so obsessed in getting him back that you didn’t have a life of your own. 

Stuck and unable to move on, to grieve properly. 

But that was an argument for later. 

“I love you, Loki,” you exclaimed, holding back a sob as he kissed your forehead before pressing a chaste one on your lips. His lips felt so cold and you would give anything to experience the softness and warmth of them again. 

“And I love you. Summon me whenever you’d like, love. I’ll accept it.” 

He was gone when you opened your eyes. 

Steve’s heart ached even though he couldn’t see or hear Loki, your side of the conversation was enough. Thor and Nat finally stepped up after watching from afar, not wanting to interrupt, and the latter sat down next to you, enveloping you in her arms. 

Nothing could prepare you for today. 

Losing the battle. 

Losing your friends. 

Losing your family. 

Losing your soulmate.

All at the hand of one person. 

Thanos.  

“We’ll get everyone back. We’ll get him back,” the Black Widow reassured while you glared into the distance, clutching onto her arm as water pooled from your eyes. 

The captain was already peering at you with remorse when you connected your orbs to his. As you wandered them over to the God of Thunder who felt responsible, you uttered something that caught his attention. 

“Whatever it takes.”

Favorite Color: Mint green.

Currently Reading: So much fanfiction... I have, uh, like 45 tabs open for ao3 right now... I need to finish The Omega Job by @therantygeek, I just finished Cowboy Take Me Away by @hmslusitania, I need to start The Truth of Love (Amas Veritas) by @littlespooneven... (All super amazing authors, btw, if you're looking for something quality to read!) If we're talking actual books, I'm in the middle of Midnight Sun still also, because I am forever Twilight trash.

Last Song: Technically whatever was playing on the radio when I got home from work. (It was a country song, I know that much.) But the last purposeful song was "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran.

Last Movie: Umm, I don't know? Uhh, in theaters was Black Widow. At home...? I've just been binging TV shows lately.

Last Series: Criminal Minds, which is also my current series, so the one before that was CSI: Miami.

Sweet, Savory, or Spicy: My default is to go sweet, but I'm appreciating savory more and more lately. I'm learning to love spicy, but it's a very slow learning process.

Craving: All the things I can't have... s'mores, oreos, chocolate... Sugar is not my friend...

Tea or Coffee: Tea. Give me an espresso machine and I'll make you anything you want, but I don't like the taste of coffee myself.

Currently Working On: So many headcanons and drabble ideas. Maybe might be brave enough to post one some day? Who knows. I'll probably start planning for inktober this year soon.

Tagging: Umm, @hmslusitania, @littlespooneven, @thisissirius, I don't really interact with other people that much, but this was fun, and anyone who wants to should do it!
