Ok so you've inspired me ahah, could I request a William x reader where the reader replaces Adaline, and Ellis is her new bff that's convinced her to accompany him on a weekend at his divorced dad's house? And things happen kinda like in the movie where he recognizes her but she doesn't dare tell him the truth and once he realizes that 1) it's her, 2) she's not dating his son, and 3) she still loves him too, he does everything to seduce her again. I imagine him being self-conscious about his age/appearance and reader would reassure him. Hope this is ok, thank you!!
i love this smmmm!
age
william jones x reader
note: if y’all haven’t seen age of adaline, PLS WATCH! it’s so good!
Tumblr media
“come onnn! it’ll be fun!” you shook your head lightly, “i don’t know, ellis. are you sure i’d be welcome?” you didn’t want to just barge into your new friend’s life. ellis shook his head, “please, barge in? no, my dad would love to have you! he’s just a lonely old man, and seeing me wouldn’t do him too much, y’know?”
“sure ellis.” 
you weren’t too keen on meeting others. considering your past. for you were 107 years old. due to an accident that you truly didn’t understand.  but from the age of 
 35, you has not physically changed at all, remaining exactly the same. you’d undergone many aliases in order to keep your condition a secret. as of right now, your name was leia thompson, by the end of the month, you’d become sara slater, leia thompson being completely forgotten. 
if only you’d gotten to know ellis sooner. maybe you could’ve had a good friendship. 
the man took the clean mug that you were drying from your hands, “please. it would be fun.” you pursed your lips. what the hell, you’d be gone soon enough. 
“y’know what? sure. i’d love to join you. as long as i can drive.” 
“fine by me.” 
— — — 
the drive went by quicker then expected. it has been a very long time since you’d been behind the wheel, considering this is how you had ended up in that accident in the first place. 
but with ellis, you felt… safe. you didn’t know why, he just had some sort of element to him that seemed all too familiar, but also comforting. 
you and ellis arrived at his father’s house a little later then expected, mainly due to traffic, but you’d arrived. ellis had helped you retrieve your single suitcase, while he grabbed his other bags. your gaze fell upon the nice house before you, noticing how it looked as though all the lights were off. you furrowed your brows, “are you sure your dad’s not asleep?”
“he always waits up, leia… at least, i hope he is, cause..” ellis paused, letting out a soft laugh, “i don’t have a key.” 
your eyes widened, “you don’t carry a key to your father’s house?” he smiled sheepishly, “i’m usually here earlier in the day..” you couldn’t help but laugh, “well, let’s hope your dad’s awake then.” you took the handle of your suitcase, pulling it down the driveway towards the front door, ellis walking in front of you. as you walked up the porch, caught by surprise as the door was pulled open. “took you long enough.” he said, sounding somewhat grumpy and somewhat relieved. you refrained from frowning. something about his voice seemed so familiar. 
“dad, there’s someone i’d like you to meet-“
“(f/n)?”
you were taken aback immediately. you hadn’t heard that name in a very long time. 
and suddenly you recognized him. william jones. could it really be?
“(f/n)? (f/n) (l/n)?” 
you shook your head slowly, “no-no. that’s-thats my mother.” the lie was out before you could even stop yourself. the older man blinked slowly, as though trying to register what you’d said. 
cautiously, you extended a hand, “i’m leia. leia thompson.” you said softly. he took your hand slowly, giving it a firm shake.
oh, the amount of times you’d held this hand before. even after all these years your hand still fit perfectly in his.
“wait, you knew her mom? what a small world we live in!” ellis exclaimed. you forced a smile, trying to slip your hand away from william, only for him to hold on a second longer. his adam’s apple bobbed as he dropped your hand.
what a small world indeed.
— — —
you didn’t know how to process this. never in a million years would you think that ellis would be the son of william jones.. a man who you still continued to love to this day.
and seeing him, it set something off inside of you. those feelings that had hardly faded away came rushing back.
it didn’t matter that he’d aged. he was still just as handsome as the day you’d last seen him… the day you left him…
you had gone to bed immediately upon arrival. you couldn’t face him. not yet. 
awaking earlier the next morning, you prayed that william hadn’t changed into an early bird. you had left ellis a note on your bed, letting you know that you were going to be taking a walk. 
you headed downstairs, only to be met face to face with william. your heart pounded in your chest as you tried to act as normal as possible. “good morning,” you greeted.
he smiled softly, “hey, good morning-“ he paused, shaking his head lightly, “i just can’t get over how alike you two look-your mother, i mean.” 
you nodded, “we do look pretty similar, huh?” 
william let out a laugh, “you can say that again… uh… if you don’t mind me asking.. how is she?” 
you frowned, “she-she passed away a few years ago.” your heart ached as a heartbroken expression crossed his features.
“oh.. i’m sorry to hear that.” 
“it’s okay.” 
the two of you then stood in an awkward silence for a moment before his hazel eyes scanned you for a second, “going for a run?” 
“a walk. i’m not much of a runner.” you said, “nice talking to you, william.” you then slipped past him as quickly as possible before heading down the hallway and out the door.
and while all seemed normal for you, william jones was going through it. for as you has passed by him, he’d taken notice of a somewhat large scar near your hairline.
and your words, i’m not much of a runner.
that was the very first sentence (f/n) (l/n) had ever said to him all those years ago. she was seated on the street curb, tying her shoe. william had walked past her, “nice day for a run.” 
and she’d replied, “i’m not much of a runner.”
and then that scar. he was with her the day she got it. they were on a hike in the woods, and she’d glanced back at him, not taking notice of the large tree branch ahead. 
she’d always been so clumsy, and ended up running into it. considering the injury was on your forehead, it had been quite bloody, but he had patched you up.
there’s no way in hell that you weren’t (f/n) (l/n)… but there was only one way to know for sure.
— — —
you returned back to the house to find ellis’ car gone. you retrieved your phone from your pocket to find that he’d texted you claiming he was going to the store to pick up a few things.
this meant that you were going to be alone with william…. what could go wrong?
turns out, a lot. 
you entered the house, heading into the kitchen for some water to find william waiting for you. you furrowed your brows, “hello?”
“i know.” 
you froze, trying to play it cool. “what?” 
he passed you a small photograph, one that you had forgotten about. in the photo, was you and a young william. this was the only time you’d shown your face and taken a photo since the accident. 
“you and my mom were close huh?”
“look closer,” he urged, pointing at you, “the same scar on here,” he then gently pointed to your own forehead, “is here.” 
and as though all of it suddenly clicked, he gasped softly. “it is you… but… but how?”
you sighed softly, “william..”
“please. the least you could is explain how you’re standing before me looking exactly the same as you did all those years ago.” 
you ran a hand through your hair, sinking into a chair at the table, “it’s a long story…”
“i’ll listen.” he took a seat across from you, sending you an expecting look. your lips quivered, “i-i was in an accident. in 1931.” william’s eyes widened slightly but he remained silent. “i haven’t aged since.” you whispered. 
“is this a condition..”
“i don’t know.”
william frowned, “so… so this is your life, huh? on the run. that..” he paused, glancing up at you, a look of realization crossing his face. “that’s why you left?” 
slowly you nodded. william exhaled deeply, “it all makes sense now.” 
“william…” you dared to reach across the small table, placing your hand atop his. “i saw you that day. on the bench.” tears sprung to your eyes, “i… i didn’t want too leave you. i really didn’t… you have to know… i never stopped loving you.” 
the man smiled softly, “… i don’t think i ever stopped either. maybe… maybe that’s why my marriage failed.. because as much as i loved cathy… i was thinking of you.” a single tear slipped down your face, choking back a sob.
“william…” you sighed deeply, “ellis doesn’t know. he can’t know. you-you can’t tell him.” 
he nodded, “i understand.” an awkward silence engulfed them. you could tell william wished to say something, but as you opened your mouth to speak, he blurted, “are you dating my son?” 
“ellis? god no. we’re friends, nothing more.” 
william did his best to hide his relief. his lips quirked up slightly, “oh…” you nodded, “yeah..” another awkward silence filled the air.  you cleared your throat, “uh-i should go get ready for the day..” 
the man nodded, “of course, i didn’t mean to keep you-“
“it’s okay william. i promise.” you retracted your hand from his, standing up from your seat, “thank you.” 
“what for?”
“everything. you’re such a kind wonderful man, and i can see you’ve only gotten more wonderful with age.” you cringed at how the words left your mouth. “sorry-it’s just… it’s nice to have someone like you to listen.” 
“oh… you’re welcome.” sending him a smile, you exited the kitchen, leaving william alone.
he still couldn’t believe it. you were here, you were actually you. and… he thought back to your words, ‘i never stopped loving you’. 
does that mean that even now you still had feelings for him? that you still loved him? 
— — —
little did he know. you did. 
you loved him beyond compare. even with his aging, he was still the most handsome man you’ve ever laid your eyes upon. and your feelings only continued to grow the more you’d been around him. 
you still couldn’t believe you’d told him the truth.  and in all honesty, part of you was beginning to regret it. 
for william was doing everything in his power to subtlety impress you-dare you say seduce you-without catching ellis’ attention. 
it was very subtle of course, but you knew. every little thing he did was a salute to your relationship. and oh, how you missed it.  
how you missed him. 
and as much as you wanted to act on your feelings, you knew you couldn’t. even ellis was starting to become suspicious.
“i didn’t know that you liked older men.” 
the question caught you offguard. you set down the dish you were drying, “what?”
“ya think i don’t see it?” you furrowed your brows, “ellis, what are you talking about?”
“it’s kinda obvious, leia.” a frown tugged at your lips, “i don’t know what you’re talking about.” he placed his hands upon his hips, giving you a knowing look. “since you arrived, my dad hasn’t been able to take his eyes off of you. and as far as i can tell, you haven’t been able too either.”
your frown deepened. 
“i mean, i don’t care or anything, you’re what, thirty-three?”
“thirty-five.” you corrected. 119. 
“age gap isn’t too bad.. but i suppose age is just a number.” 
if only you knew, sweet boy. 
“ellis-“
“it’s just-he’s so happy around you, leia.” you couldn’t help but smile.
maybe this could work out… maybe… maybe you could tell ellis the truth… and maybe… just maybe… you could be happy with william.
— — —
you found him outside, gazing up at the stars.  a smile tugged at your lips as you walked outside, two mugs of tea in hand.
“hi william.” you greeted softly. he turned, a bright smile tugging on his lips, “hi leia.” it still felt so strange hearing him say that name.
“how are you this evening?” you asked, passing him a mug, which he took gratefully. “i’m doing good, how are you?”
“fine.” you replied. the two of you fell into a silence before william suddenly spoke up, “ellis spoke to me today-“
“i know he did.” you replied, only assuming he’d have had the same conversation he had with you. 
“(f/n), i’m sorry, what i’ve been doing, it’s stupid and i just-“
“i wanna be with you.” 
the words slipped out before you could even register what you were saying. william’s hazel eyes widened, your words catching him offguard. “you what?” 
slowly you nodded, “i want to be with you, william. i was honest when i said i never stopped loving you, and being here these past couple days, my love has only grown.” 
it was a long shot, but you were willing to try. “so if you’ll have me, i’d like to try this again, do it properly this time.”
“how can you want this?” his voice was soft, “i mean,” he gestured to himself, “look at me, look at you. you’re still so young, so beautiful. and me… well i’m just an old bag of bones.” he mumbled sadly. 
“oh william,” you set your mug down on the chair beside you, cupping his face, gently caressing his cheeks, “william, i don’t care about your age, or appearance. you wanna know how old i am? 119,” his eyes widened more if it was even possible, eliciting a laugh from you. “mhm exactly, and as for your appearance, you’re so very handsome, william. just as handsome as you were all those years ago.” 
“you think so?” he asked softly. “i know so.” not wanting to overstep, you kissed his cheek softly, smiling at him. “so what do you say? shall we start over?”
he let out a laugh before pulling your hands away from his face, “hello there, i’m william jones. and you are?” he asked, extending a hand towards you. 
“(f/n). (f/n) (l/n).”

Jarvis tapes on Jason’s life (or at least what the footage tells you) 🎞️
Tumblr media
Jason Grayson Underwood was born at twelve-oh-one a.m., April 20th, 1922
at Children's Hospital, San Francisco,
the second child of Fran and Jonathan Underwood. His sister Dolores Marie Underwood only be 5 years old.
On the 16th of June in 1929, Mr & Mrs. Underwood would divorce taking both children their separate ways.
~~~~
August 30th 1943, Howard Stark and his sister Elizabeth Stark would come into the picture, change his life forever.
Meeting both of them during the war, alongside Agent Margaret ‘Peggy’ Carter. Who would later on become his sister in more ways than one.
Eighty-seven days later Jason met James Bucky Barnes and The Howling Commanders, crossing paths on the battle field with Captain America.
~~~~
After the war ended, Jason Underwood went on to work for the SSR. He had the opportunity to work selling watches in Texas and New York, but went on to become an associate of the organization.
Which is where he met Agent Jack Thompson, Daniel Sousa and plenty of others.
However he had another job underneath his belt as him, Edwin Jarvis and Agent Carter were given a job to locate Howard Stark’s stolen items while he hide away.
The whole time, half of the country was after him.
That’s when he would met his sister once again, Dottie Underwood, A Black Widow. As she worked with an scientist and Soviet spies to frame Stark’s items as dangerous as they seemed.
It was complicated.
He was not pleased and made sure his sister was behind bar for her crimes, with working for the wrong side. But she did not care, she never did.
He shot the scientist and spies with the help of the SSR who realized who was responsible for all of this.
They freed Howard and his sister from all charges. Jack Thompson became Chief Executive Officer in New York City.
But they all know Peggy Carter deserves all the credit for the job.
Daniel Sosua was promoted to Chief in California.
~~~~~
In 1947 New York City, Chief Jack Thompson and Agent Peggy Carter of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) apprehend Soviet spy Dottie Underwood.
Newly appointed Chief Daniel Sousa of the Los Angeles SSR office meets with Detective Andrew Henry, who has discovered a woman's body in a frozen lake during a heat wave.
That’s when Jason Underwood was called from his newly acquired home in Los Angeles for the job, requesting Agent Carter to sign onto the job.
Howard and his Elizabeth Stark were living in Los Angeles as well, making films and creating new inventions for their company.
~~~~
Ten weeks after filming a new movie Howard was creating and working on the case, Jason was driving north one night to his shared studio beach cottage when something highly unusual occurred, something almost magical...
Snow fell in Los Angeles, California. Heavy winds and hail stormed all into one. The car swing over the slippery slope of the bridge as he drove onto the main water, as he tried to pull up.
But failed to get the brakes to work.
The immersion in the frigid water caused Jason's body to go into an anoxic reflex, instantly stopping his breathing and slowing his heartbeat.
Within 2 minutes, Jason Underwood's core temperature had dropped to 87 degrees...
his heart stopped beating.
He was silent underneath the table of water for 7 minutes.
At 11: 55 a bolt of lightning struck the vehicle discharging half a billion volts of electricity and producing 60,000 amperes of current.
Its effect was threefold.
First, the charge defibrillated Jason Undwood's heart.
Second,
He was jolted out of his anoxic state causing him to draw his first breath in 3 minutes.
Third, based on Von Lehman's principle of electron compression in deoxyribonucleic acid, which will be discovered in the year two thousand thirty-five, Jason Underwood will henceforth be immune to the ravages of time...
he will never age another day.
~~~~~
Of course, he didn’t know that would be a harsh yet effective condition until later.
Wrapped in a cold sweat, dizziness and fatigue were the consequences of the accident.
He was in bed for a few days at the house or made to be sat down, as a nurse took his temperature while he helped study the case.
A field of zero matter and Whitney Frost, 2 times Oscar nominee who was a scientist at heart, was behind it. They hoped it wouldn’t be the rest of mission and the caseload conditions that harmed them.
But faith had other plans.
Peggy took the rest, after her painful defeat of almost being impaled by the help,to call Jason’s sister Dottie for undercover work.
It wasn’t the best thing, but worked like a charm. Dottie left getting her cut of the money and ran.
Soon enough, Jason, Peggy and others were up for the challenge to help finish the race in their job. It was a long and difficult process for the entire team but they made it work.
Zero matter was seemingly gone. Whitney Frost was put in prison.
~~~
Weeks went by.
He studied long and hard for weeks, working with Howard, Peggy, Dr. Wilkie Jones and Ana Jarvis on cases. Figure out the answer to the questions they had from their previous research on the mission.
And the effects left behind.
Jason found nothing on his plate of studies onto what happened to him, as the years went by he noticed his friends slowly turning around with age, as he stayed the same.
It wasn’t zero matter or the previous time on trips that harmed him.
It was something else.
Some would see it differently, thinking it as a blessing that he stopped aging, others might’ve called it a curse.
It just depends on who you were talking to.
For Jason, he made the blonde sick to his stomach and want to hide behind closed doors.
As the years passed, Jason credited her unchanging appearance to a combination of a healthy diet, exercise, heredity, and good luck.
He would travel around, change his name and mind. Leave for a couple of weeks every new decade.
It was all to prevent confusion, controversy and added pressure from anyone who might’ve wanted to sent him to a lab to be tested for his status. 
To protect himself and his loved ones…
~~~~

Friends over the years [Agent Carter fic]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Jason Grey Underwood and Howard J. Stark
Summary: A friendship that goes beyond a average kinda bond. They loved each other like brothers, treat one another like friends, respected their relationship like a pair of lovers. Sadly it goes downhill due to a stupid painful argument…
Romantic or Platonic Relationship
Fandom: Marvel, Agent Carter
Spoilers for Agent Carter season 1 & season 2. A bit of Iron Man 2.
Warning: Fluff, angst, mention of treason and one side conversations
Characters shown/mentioned: Peggy Carter, Maria Stark, Nurse Violet, Edwin Jarvis, Ana Jarvis, Daniel Sousa, Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Dr. Jason Wilkes, and SHIELD in general.
Note: Glen Powell played Hangman, my HC is that Hangman is BI so will be Jason haha
It started out to tender so sweet then they got me smoking out the window…
“What’s your name, champ?” Said Stark with a classic charming grin, holding out his hand.
“Jason, Mr. Stark.” I replied shaking his hand with a politic accent and smile to go along with it.
“Mr. Stark? Call me Howard everyone does! What brings you by?”
“Uh, Peg said you have new pairs of gun for me?”
“Ah, Peg sent you! Well your in luck pal, cause I have the perfect hand held guns made just today. Better than ones I manufactured back in 42’ I’ll tell you that much.”
“Anything is fine, Howard. As long as it last me up to more than 50 hours a bullet, I’ll be doing just fine.”
“Your my type of man, Jay! Can I call you, Jay or JJ?”
I chuckled, “Of course you can.”
~~~
He walked and talked about everything, “Great! You seem familiar, have we met before?”
I chuckled once again, “Actually we have, a charity in the park back in 43’.”
“Don’t remember.” He shrugged.
I sighed, “You were wearing a cherry brown tie and a freshly tailored suit.”
“Ah yes, now I remember! I was looking snazzy in that suit, I remember bringing home a lovely lady that very evening. She was Italian and the champagne was devilishly delicious—”
“Howard!”
“What?”
“Focus.”
“Yeah, right! You were saying.”
“I’m here because I’m working with the SSR on a case involving Dorothy Underwood and a Russian therapist who framed you and your weaponry.”
“Ah yes! I invent stuff but I always make sure what I’m doing correctly, what do you got?”
“Easy, we’re tracking them down for each movement. I know where Dorothy is and Peggy is tracking her down while The stupid Russian therapist is currently at SSR headquarters. Before anything gets messy, do you have any relations to any of those two?”
“Uhhh no? I met a lot of people how do you expect me to stay on track with that. I’m a busy man, JJ.”
~~~~
It took time but he started to connect the dots on how he was related to Dorothy Underwood’s case, then we were on the roll. After what felt like hours with Howard, Peggy and Jarvis we were able to settle down on a plan. Howard was used as bate to lure our bad guys out while Daniel, Jack, Peggy, Jarvis and I were ready to attack. Quickly Howard was kidnapped by them as we raced after him. Once we arrived Howard was flying a plane straight headed near the New York City Harbor as he being mind control by the therapist to his practical deathbed!
Daniel, Jack and I instructed Jarvis to fly the plane as we kept marched up to track down the threats. Peggy was fighting Dottie while all of this was happening, I swear i was getting a headache sooner or later from all of this. Thankfully the day was saved, Howard was brought back to the ground, Jack and Daniel returned back to work and Peggy was giving a seat nearby the stakeholders at the SSR allowing herself to get a more flexible job.
A week later, I headed over to Howard to discuss moving out to LA since it cleared up to see that my sister, Dottie, wasn’t gonna be a huge problem anytime soon. There was always crime to be solved in LA especially after Daniel Sousa offered be a positive choice there, why not take the offer and run with it? So I did!
Tumblr media
-//-
-> In Los Angeles, everything felt pretty cool! Howard’s penthouse and other living corners were very much a good fit for me. Breakfast in the morning next to the poolside, a nice walk in the park. Heading to set for movies we’ve decided to film together and afterwards in the afternoon, I spent hours at the SSR for detective and paperwork duties ordered by my friend, now Chef Sousa.
“Morning, handsome.” Howard teased coming up from his workshop, grinning and poured himself a cup of coffee.
“What have i told you about late night in your workshop?” I replied taking a bite of my toast and taking a sip of coffee.
“Uhhh don’t do it?”
“Exactly! I swear I’m one of the reasons you’re still alive today.”
“Heyyy! You love me!”
“Never said I didn’t, hot stuff.”
I stood up and walked over to the kitchen island, standing next to Howard ruffling his hair a bit with a smile. Howard smiled and being his usual flirty self. It results in a laugh and a eye roll.
He moved closed and joked yelling, “Quit it!”
“Be good today.” I joked back sending a charming wink to him, as I walked out grabbing his jacket.
It was good. Real good.
Until it wasn’t.
Sadly, that same week I crashed my car during a horrible lightning storm driving around the countryside of LA to see Peggy and our friends for a unsuspecting case. The weather got chiller and air became thicker as all time froze up, leading me gasp for air after being unconscious for 20 minutes straight.
I was fine and arrived back home with a few cuts in bruises leading to, Nurse Violet, to help patch me up as we all discussed the crime rate activity in LA with the group. I fell for this woman hard. A gentle soul.
-> During the invading investigation which lets everybody working and spending in Howard’s lab for answer on Miss Froster connection to Zero Matter.
Jason was calculating a design for a machine to cover up and consent the rest of issue, especially involving their new friend, Dr. Wilkes, who joked how much Jason and Howard seemed to care each other. The respect they had for one another. He joked back with a shrug saying that Howard was his idiot in more ways than one, at that same time Jason felt a heatwave climb up his jacket and slightly dizzy.
Howard and Peggy noticed and rushed over, lifting Jason off the ground before he fell back. He insisted he was fine but he was tired and overwhelmed, Peggy remember that Jason didn’t even bother to go to hospital after accident.
Jason was given a opportunity for plenty of examinations and refused to say on bed rest that night, until Peggy practically threatened him to do so. Jason was examined again and again, even got a cast on his sprained ankle. But nothing crazy happened and the results came down to a small fever.
Nurse Violet and Ana took care of him that the next few days. Jason would admit he was eternally grateful for that, especially for Violet since she was sassy angel gifted to be by their side. He took his shot and asked her out on a date, but she told him to wait for that time to come. It was a small promise that was made.
Thankfully it was fine and the fever went away, they all assumed it was side effects from the accident, the stress from the case and work in general. And it was.
—-
Tumblr media
Everyone got back to work and weeks went by, months along the way Ms Frost was put away behind bars and Dr. Wilkes was offered a job at the SSR.
One morning after having a moment to actually catch their breath after all that chaos, Howard appeared next to Jason nearby the pool of their house, handing him a beer.
“Thank you.” Jason repiled, taking a sip with a smile, “You alright? A penny for your thoughts?”
“Y-yeah. Just thinking about the future.” He replied with a playfully nudge.
“You’re film? You’re gonna make that happened with Frost public?”
“Maybe? I mean no! Well not that worse idea. I can win an award winning director for that. Can you imagine?!”
“Howard. Focus.”
“Right sorry! I was thinking a bit more closer to the present. Everyone deserves a bit of normal after everything right?”
“Of course they do. But maybe we shouldn’t settle for normal life, domestic romanized life maybe.”
Jason met Howard’s dark brown eyes, and he felt like he was lost for words, in the sweet warm of it all. Damn Jason wanted to test the water and try something a little different. Howard met his eyes seeing a life with him, deep down a part of always smiled knowing shining light in them. Damn Howard could tease the waters with him, he liked his women and men, especially this one. They moved closer to one another with soft grins laced on their faces laughing at the fact how silly they are being about this whole thing.
“What’cha thinking, Howard?” Jason asked with a tease in his voice, “I know that look. Very well.”
It was rare to see Howard this silly, vulnerable and honest. Only ever him and Peggy seen it.
“How much almost I lost you and our friends two weeks ago? I can’t live with myself if I did. I just can’t, JJ!” Howard admitted to him with a sigh and smiles, “Look at me? What am I doing?”
“You’re being honest with me. Your one of my best friends, Howard Stark, maybe even more than that. You will never lose me..I hope?” Jason replied with a chuckle.
Howard joked with a smirk, “Is this the part of the film where the guy kisses the girl?”
“Or so I’m girl in the scenario huh?” Jason joked back with a smirk.
“Well if you insist.”
“Hey wait-!”
Before neither one of them to say a word or even finished that very sentence, Howard leaned in and placed his lips onto his best friend tasting the liquid gold from the beer. Jason chuckled honestly didn’t care who say, locking lips tasting the tequila shots from earlier with him cupping his chin.
They were rather tipsy but won’t admit it. The two stayed like that for a little while, sparking a sweet open love and tender laughter from how ridiculously fun it was.
The two friends knew that the kiss meant nothing, it was just a fun thing of accidental attraction. They laughed about it. They’re young! Besides what’s friendship if you can’t experience and experiment things together?
——
Over the months, Howard and Jason did almost everything together. It was a very casual thing the two had together, but they cared about one another much. It was a rather open friendship, they dated and talked about who exactly decided to be their lucky ladies. Jason started finally dating Nurse Violet and was admiring their blooming romance.
You could’ve sworn they were like an two old friends or even, old married couple.
But that award went to Maria Stark and her loverboy Howard. Maria, Jason and Howard were a young trio within itself, noticing everything that happened. Along with Peggy, Jarvis and the rest of their friends. Matter a fact, it was Maria and Ana that pointed that Jason’s slight deep wrinkles that were previously made from the smile lines were fading gone and the effectiveness of the curious blew up. As they realized that it seemed over the last few months the aging process stopped completely for him.
Howard, Daniel. and Peggy worked long enough to figure out a way to seek what happened to him. They spend months doing tests, case films and files, examining his every single movement and reading books for answers. But nothing came up, Jason believed it was a giant mistake, a curse that happened due to the lack of caution he reflected on not having.
Maria reassured him that it wasn’t his fault, they couldn’t have known for this to happen. Peggy agreed knowing that they didn’t knowledge this beforehand as Howard was deep into a book, who trying to figure out what went wrong with his equipment and such, agreed.

One night Jason felt defeated and went home to tell his girlfriend, Violet, what pained him.
“Honey, I’m sorry, so sorry. You don’t deserve me..” He said standing in the middle of the living room.
“What do you mean?” She replies knowing what happened, cupping his hands.
He kissed her hand gently and replied, “You deserves somebody who can grow old enough with you. I can’t give you that..”
She nodded looking at him with love in her eyes, “Hey sugar, I know it’s bad for us right now.”
“I don’t want to be a burden on you and have you wake up one day regretting your decision to be with me..”
“Then I’ll love you for as long as you’ll have me..”
Jason smiled softy and didn’t hesitate to lock lips with the woman he loved dearly. That moment he knew, Violet Bolger, would be his girlfriend for as long as they’ll have each other.
—> However being the loyal man he always tried to be and knowing how much he loved Violet, a two and a half years later, he let her go. Their relationship was slowly dying out, he didn’t want to a burden who was holding his sweet girl one down. He wanted to see her happy, loved and most importantly an opportunity for a life where she can travel, grow old and make memories with someone even greater than.

~~
Years went by the group slowly grew older but Jason stayed the same way. He didn’t mind it too much, yes it pained him very much to not be able to grow old with his friends, who he considered family, and sometimes being seen as the youngest one. However it is what is! At least he had the support of his family and lovers beside him. Maria and Howard.
And when baby Anthony Edward Stark came along, or Tony for short, let’s just say everyone was happy. Poor Edwin Jarvis though, he had to change diapers. Peggy and Ana were delighted to be aunties. Maria was excited to be a mother and Jason was always wanted to be a uncle. The first two years, Howard was very attentive and on top of things when it came to his son. Bring Tony everywhere and anywhere possible, the days he wasn’t working at SHIELD and in his lab downstairs that is.
When Tony became 3 years old, almost 4 however, that’s when the plane started to take off. Bickering, arguments and feelings just either hurt or ignored. Yes it was normal for couples, or in this case, sorta throuple always fought. Especially this one! Howard was always working more than Jason ever did and Maria was always part time working at the jewelry store she co-owned with a friend of hers. They always made time for one another, especially when it came to their family and friends.
~~~
One afternoon Jason returned home from a long trip on a mission to Las Vegas, Nevada to collect samples of a metallic suspicious bonds and examine that at SHIELD headquarters. He appeared in the front door to hear running of tiny footsteps, followed by much larger ones. The giggles came along with the footsteps made Jason roll his eyes and chuckle.
The tiny footsteps zipped by and before they can reach the living room, Jason caught him. In his arms lay the giggles and yells from the charmer himself, Anthony Stark, his hair was a mess and in his hands held a toy screwdriver.
“Uncle JJ!” Tony yelled finally registering who’s arms he was in and giggling tightly hugging him, “You’re back!”
He laughed hugging his nephew tightly showing him in plenty required tickles for being gone for too long and asked, “Yeah buddy, I’m back home! Now why were you running? You knew the rules.”
“Jar’vis is making me clean my f-feet!”
“What?”
It didn’t register in his mind what his nephew meant until he looked down to see the shoeless feet that rested against his button down, that were covered in dirt. He sighed deeply realizing now that he had to clean up a cheeky little 4 year olds dirty, probably muddy, feet from playing in the backyard without his shoes. He carried the young boy into the bathroom and requested for Jarvis to get him some towels as he washed his feet.
Tony explained what he was doing today after attending dentist appointment that his mother had earlier, which involved him building outside, drawing, watching his favorite cartoons and helping his mother with the dishes. He even slipped out that he accidentally found himself in his father’s workshop just wanting to hang out in there as Howard kicked him out, resulting in Tony hearing his mother and father bickering as he was carried out by Jarvis.
Jason sighed deeply once again and internally groaned in annoyance at what happened today. At this point, it didn’t surprise him at all, with the amount of time they fight it surprises him how Maria, him and Howard still live under one same roof. To be honest, they all walked out of this house more than once, due a argument
Tony pouted and spoke up, “A-are you mad at me?”
“Buddy why would i be mad?” He asked, scrubbing his feet gently.
“Cause..i walked into daddy’s workshop..i know i can not go only if you guys let me.”
“For starters we don’t want you in there unless supervised because it can be dangerous and you can accidentally get hurt.”
“Okay..I’m sorry. A-are you gonna talk to daddy and momma?”
“Well why did you do it in the first place?”
“Be..cause i wanna play with daddy but he too busy for me..he don’t love me anymore..”
“No buddy, don’t say that. Of course he loves you, he’s just gets too caught up with work that’s all.”
“I just wanna play with him, uncle J..”
“I know buddy, i know. You’re father does things for a reason, he just keeps carried away sometimes..”
~~~~~~
Then Tony asks him a question he didn’t expect for the four year old, then again he was smart for his age, but still. The young boy sighed deeply, sometimes he picked up on from seeing his uncles and aunties doing a lot. Tony asked, “A-are you love, JJ?”
“What?” He asked with a soft smile, adding some more now to his feet.
“Are you love? Momma says that you don’t date anymore..and that you love her and daddy more.”
“Well buddy, i do love them both very much. With all my heart. As for dating, uh it’s hard for your uncle to find himself a girlfriend with work and no one wants to date someone with crazy dance moves..”
Tony giggled at that and yelled, “You do dance funny!”
“You see! Auntie Ana says i dance like a chicken.” Jason replies chuckling, drying off his feet now.
“You dance like a funny chicken who ate too much candy!”
“A chicken on a sugar high?”
“Yes!”
Tumblr media
The two laughed, smiling. Yes there was truth to that part to what his uncle told him about not dating, was that he didn’t age and rather not live a life with somebody who can, but Tony doesn’t need to know the whole truth just yet. He was still a child.
Jason place a fresh pair on shoes, thanks to Jarvis, onto Tony’s little feet as he said, “You see! If i went on dates every night I wouldn’t have time to talk with you.”
“You are right! No dating, i do not want a date either! Girls are eww!” Tony replies giggling, walking down the hallways following Jarvis and his uncle downstairs. That resulted in both men to roll their eyes and laugh at the young boys words.
The three of them found Ana and Maria serving lunch greeting the women, as Howard came, slightly late, upstairs to eat with them. It was good, real good for a while. The rest of the day was just fine, per say.
————
However it soon got to a point where the tension ran high the next few months and possibly even years. The water to the cup started to soon overflow, but Jason kept quiet, it wasn’t his place to talk about certain things. He knew his limits and where he stands, but sometimes it annoyed him. It made him question everything he ever knew…
He noticed how Howard and Maria changed perspective on certain things, Maria got more annoyed about things and Howard kept acting like everything was fine. When clearly he was ignoring stuff around the house and even his son. If those was thing that made Jason’s blood boil was something that involved his friends and family, especially his young nephew who didn’t know any better.
One Wednesday afternoon, he had enough of this bullshit. He knew Maria wouldn’t say anything about it and handles everything her own way, but he wasn’t her. Jason stormed into the lab downstairs that now held so much stuff, it looked like a madhouse in there. No wonder why Jarvis always complains about Howard’s messes!
Howard was working on a few equations and running his fingers across some equipment he’s building to showcase Hank Pym later that week. He didn’t even hear the door shut or the fact that there were rough clapping of footsteps followed up within seconds. He heard a simple ‘can we talk? Now.’ And he only received a half nod in return.
Jason tapped his foot onto the floor, with his arms crossed and waited for his friend to stop what he doing to stand up straight and look at her.
“What?” Howard asked removing his sunglasses and runs his fingers across his hair, “If it’s that i forgot to pick up the presents for Ana’s birthday and forgot to pick up Tony from school, I’m sorry.”
“I-ahhh, that’s not it!” He replied, pinching the bridge of his noses knowing how much a idiot he is, “Actually this is about Tony.”
“Is something wrong with him?”
“Yeah, he’s not being treated fairly by you.”
“W-w-wh-what?!”
He scoffed, “Howard you’re more focused on your work than your own family! You’re overworking yourself and literally kick out your poor son whenever you get the chance.”
“HEY! Everything i do is for my son, you know that!” Howard remarked pointing a finger at him, “To give me a future i never had!”
“I know that!”
“So just let in work in peace, huh? You don’t understand what I’m doing here.”
“Oh really? Yeah of course, the futurist everybody! The last few years you have been so disconnected from everything. You barely go on date nights anymore with Maria or watch the stars with her, you don’t give Tony a bedtime story anymore and you just said it yourself—you forgot to pick him up at school!”
“It was a accident. Am i not allowed to make accidents as a parent huh? Everything i do is for my kid.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“You just said that and i know. But Howard..” Jason sighed, “Tony doesn’t need any of this, he just needs you. You’re time and energy, that charming smile of yours to shower him in love! Not you working night and day, over and over again where you can’t breath or take a second of your time to relax with us. You’re forgetting sight of who you are!”
Howard growled, “Don’t! Don’t tell me how to raise my son, Jason. He’s not your kid, he’s mine! You’re just his uncle. As for Maria, you don’t need to defend her here, if she has a problem with me then she should just tell me herself!”
“That’s because she’s doesn’t care anymore! I’ve seen that women fight with you over and over again, to the point where she just accepted that, that’s the way you are now.”
“Yes I’ve changed JJ! People are allowed to change, that’s part of human evolution.”
Jason paced back and forth, turning around hearing Howard’s long winded speech about evolution and change. Howard leaned against his desk scoffing and dryly laughing, “You’re hilarious. This is all some joke to you right?”
“I—what did you just say to me?” Jason stopped and whipped his face toward him.
“This is a joke to you. You believe that your right here and I’m wrong, Jason. Just because you live here with us and know how this works, you think your right here.”
“BECAUSE I AM HOWARD! When was the last time you got out of here, huh? When was the last time you told Tony ‘I love you’ or took time to take Maria’s dancing or go bowling with me? Ever seen you started SHIELD, you’ve been noticing but a consuming jerk!”
“Is that really what you think of me? A jerk?! You don’t understand.”
“I don’t understand?!”
“Yes!”
“You weren’t acting one in the beginning, but the months and years after, yes you have become a bit of a jerk. One day you’re gonna regret what you’ve done.”
“I won’t.”
“You will!”
~~~
Both men were furious at this point, they have been yelling loudly and screaming for more than an hour, bringing up moments from their past. Some stuff was even throw on the floor at this point. That fire due to the years of love, the friendship and the curiosity was going out..or maybe the fire was already gone?
Howard grunted, “I’ve done nothing much work my ass off and made sure to investigate and invent things to make the world a better place. I’m doing what i think is right here! You just don’t see it!”
Jason scoffed, “Yeah and the world has hated you and thanked you for it! Must i remind me about what happened in 56’? Or in 46’, when you were committed for treason for holding glorified weapons and the whole state was after your ass? And we had to save yo—”
“Don’t finished that sentence. What do you want me to do, huh? Give me my lives work? I’m a inventor, if I don’t invent something or work my ass off, i will probably explode. I-is that what you want? What are you gonna do if i do continue this lifestyle? Leave me?”
“If i could i would take Maria and Tony somewhere else, away from you for a while, I would. But we both you would sent the best lawyers possible and god knows what after me, so I won’t. I won’t do that to you..or them.”
“Ah, you know me so well. And i know you..”
“You do and i love you for everything you do. But this…I can’t!”
“Jason..I can’t change what i do Jason, you know that! I just can’t. I’ve come so far and you just don’t see it.”
“Stop it!”
“Stop what?”
“You’re playing the pity card again. You don’t think Maria, Peggy, Jarvis and I don’t see it? We do! Hell, Tony see it!”
“So why don’t you let me do it? Leave me alone to do my work! I’m trying here. Look what at I’ve made and I can’t stop it now.”
“Yes you can!.”
“No, I can’t!”
“Look, I’m not exactly asking you to leave everything behind. But understand this, I rather you show Tony this world of yours, instead of shutting him out! All of us out. Take a break or..”
“Or what?”
“Or you’re gonna lose the people you care for the most…you know what? What’s the point? I can’t do this...”
~~~
The next words that escape Howard Stark’s lips came out of pure anger and annoyance, “Do what? You’re gonna leave me? If so, get out. You clearly don’t want to be here anymore.”
“You don’t mean that.” Jason replied with slight shock in her tone and blinked a few times.
“Yes i do. You don’t need to be here unless you don’t want to.”
“Howard stop it. Listen to what you’re saying! I care about this family too much to see it fall apart.”
“This is my family! Not yours. You don’t get the final word, i do.”
“You don’t listen, do you?”
“Enough Jason! Get out.”
“You’re gonna regret this! Don’t come complaining to me when you’re son hates you.”
“Get out! There’s the door.”
~~~~
If there one thing Jason Underwood was and that was persistent, so before he left. He said, “When are you gonna realized your greatest creation isn’t those weapons you made or SHIELD or anything related to that, it’s your legacy. Your son!”
“I’m not gonna ask again. Please go..I don’t ever want to see you again.” Howard said with a pissed off sigh, blinking a few times.
Those last words hit Howard hard, as he stood up finding one of his older cameras and place it securely on the tripod with a half smile.
One of his friends, the man he once called a love in his life, the uncle to his only son and supporter walked out of that door without a second chance to help his case. Howard sighed deeply with his head in his hands. He was angry, tired, and annoyed. A part of him knew that his friend was right. He’s a workaholic man with no respect or anything like that for other people, depending on the situation. Always focused on the world’s future, but not sure on the future he set for his family. His only concern was Tony and Maria. His greatest creation being his son.
Without a question later, he turned on the camera and started to film himself, try to speak again like the focused, honest and vulnerable man he tended to be. He decided on leaving his door open just in case his wife called or anyone walked in in general.
Meanwhile Jason was packing his overnight bag for possible a two day stay at Jarvis house. He already had a house in Miami but he was only willing to stay with Edwin and Ana for a couple of days to get himself straightened out before leaving for good. Maria tried to convince him to stay, even if a part of her agreed with her husband instead
But his mind was already set on leaving and possibly visit in the future. Jason ripped out a sheet of paper from his notebook and wrote a note to his nephew, one to Maria, as well as one to Howard. He played them secretly onto in places where they knew they’ll find them one day in life. To say Jason was hurt like this was a understatement, breaking up with a girlfriend was one thing but with your friend of almost 20 years or more.
All he wanted to do was save something in this family of theirs, but knew he couldn’t. And that’s what pained him, he wanted to scream and possibly cry, maybe even let out cloud of smoke out the window.
The men may have been on separate grounds of the house, pissed off and hurt from their two hour argument with one another, but they knew one thing. They still somehow had respect, admiration and compassion for each other, no matter how much hatred and annoyance came from that. A part of them knew it.
——
Over the months and years, their friendship grew sadly apart. Their friends knew it. And what made it more interesting is that they still saw each other, weather they liked it or not. At work, parties, gatherings, birthdays, graduations, a ceremony for some special they were invited to.
Howard would always being pushed to speak to Jason and vise versa, only ending up in small talk between the pair, then walking off to speak to other people. They would be found speak to family members but not one another, Howard even though of not allowing Tony nearby to his uncle for too long, would be better during those events.
It was plainly stupid on both of their parts, but they both had their rights to be angry and bitter. It hurts.
Jason always wanted and most importantly, tried to explain to Howard the situation, hopes for his forgiveness after that nightmare of a week. But Howard’s huge ego, witty jokes, stubbornness and willingness to hold a grudge never let him see the light…

Date Night Part 1/2
Tumblr media
Title: Date Night
Pairing: Taron Egerton X Reader
Word Count:
Warning: None, it's just cute. Swearing...I'm Canadian, it's gonna be in there
Summary: Taron takes the reader on her dream date. It's messy, but who could resist his sweet, clumsy awkwardness. It's the effort that counts, after all.
Author's Note: I had a disastrous first date with my (now) boyfriend, but his effort to improve things throughout the evening made me fall entirely in love with him. This is inspired by that evening. Enjoy <3
Taron had just returned from a morning shoot. The new movie was an action-packed story, so he returned to his rental exhausted with a body full of bruises. He was more torn down this afternoon because of the early morning jump-start, so into his bed, he jumped.
The sunlight sneaking past the hem of the curtains was almost gone; Taron was still in sleep heaven, dreaming of nothing he would remember when he woke.
His phone on his bedside table lit up, the notification sound melting into a soft clang in his dream sequence. The time read 5:28pm, and the notification below was from Y/N.
'Hey Taron, just got home from work. I might run a little late. Can we move the date to 6:30 instead of 6? I'm so sorry for the last-minute text.'
Taron stirred in bed. The sheets now comfortably lie on his chest. His eyes are too heavy to open wide, but that dreamland has been abandoned. After a few seconds of silence, a stretch or two, and a huff of contentment and relaxation, he opened his eyes to look around.
Noticing the darkness outside and the time on the hotel clock he jumped out of bed, picked up his phone and blurted out that four-letter Anglo-Saxton word in a repetitious trail.
"FUCK! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!"
He darted for the shower leaving the phone on the bed with 5 notifications.
'All ready. Let me know when you're on the way' 6:24pm
'Is everything okay? Are you getting my messages?' 6:42pm
'Are we still on for today?' 7:32pm
'It's okay if you need to cancel, but can you, at the very least, communicate' 7:38pm
'I guess it's cancelled. I'll talk to you when I talk to you.' 8:00pm
The last text appeared while he was already in the shower. That's 2 hours later than he was supposed to go on the date. This was a mess, and he still needed to start the date.
He finished his military shower in 3 minutes and started throwing on the clothes he neatly hung beside the dresser labelled 'Date Night.' Dressing as quickly as possible he picked up his phone and called her while squeezing the device between his shoulder and his jaw so he could pull up his pants. The phone rang until it transferred to voicemail.
Once again that cuss left his mouth, “fuck”.
As fast as the traffic would let him, he drive through every single kilometre with great anxiety. First dates are nerve racking to begin with. Being two and a half hours late without any communication is as bad as it can get.
On the way, as he stood waiting for a red signal, he spotted some potted flowers outside a hardware store. Her voice flooded his mind, remembering their conversations on bouquet gifting.
“Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers. But why kill it? Where did this tradition begin? Who looked at flowers and thought ‘Hey! Flowers! Imma murder them, stuff ‘‘em in plastic and hand a collection of dying flowers to the first lady I find.’ Gimme flowers, but let them live you know.”
He took a sharp right and into the store, picking up the best 6 inch Hibiscus Braid they were selling. He careful placed it into his car securing it with the seatbelt. It’s been a disaster date so far, he couldn’t afford another mishap.
Responsibly speeding on the road, Taron finally made it to her house. He parked in her parent’s driveway and rushed to the front of her door. He rang the doorbell and waited there, expecting the worst. Her father opened the door.
“Oh I thought you cancelled your date” dad asked, now sceptical of the boy he was once impressed by.
“I’m very sorry sir, I know I should’ve called and told her I was running embarrassingly late. I’m very sorry for showing up late. I know I have no right to call on her. I just want to see her and explain and then I’ll leave. I promise” he rambled.
Y/N, overhearing their interaction came down the stairs and towards the door where her father was standing.
“It’s okay da, let me talk to him.”
Her hair and makeup was still done but she opted for a comfortable sweats, a tee and an unzipped hoodie. She wasn’t angry, just disappointed. He still thought she looked absolutely beautiful.
His heart was racing to look at her. What could he possibly say to make things right? She waited for him to start talking, a soft look resting on her face. Somehow it made things worse for him.
"I'm so incredibly sorry--"
"Stop apologizing," she interrupted. "You said you wanted to explain..." she started, prompting him to continue.
"I made this perfect plan for our date, and I still do if you want to go on this date with me." He began rambling again but changed courses when her body language shifted. "I was sent home early today because it was already an extremely physical day and insurance and all that. I had already picked the outfit and made the reservations and all the plans, so I decided I'd take a nap until my alarm went off. Except I didn't wake up with the alarm and raced over as fast as possible. On the way...Oh, wait" He stopped himself, ran to his van, and pulled out the plant he had purchased for her. He presented it to her as sweetly as he could. "I remember you saying you don't like murdered flowers, so I got you a potted one instead."
Between his nervous ramble and the potted plant, she was starting to forgive him, not that she would let him know.
"Look, I know my lack of communication was childish and rude, and you are under no obligation to forgive me, but you should know that I really like you and want to get to know you better. I know you've had a tough week, and I just wanted you to have one fantastic evening. I have been thinking of you for days ever since we talked that entire night. I love talking to you, and today I just hoped to keep talking to you...forever. I know you said to stop apologizing, but I am sorry."
She hadn't said anything; she kept her eyes on the plant he had gifted her while he rambled away.
"I'm sorry again." He mutter as he began leaving. He sat in his van and began driving away. Just as he backed out of her driveway and onto the street, he received a notification.
'If the reservation has been made, we can't not show up, can we?'
His heart skipped a beat as he saw her name. Looking up to see the look on her face, her soft smile while hugging tightly the plant he gifted her warmed his heart.
'Reverse the car and wait a sec. I'll be right down.'
She sent the text and reentered her home with the plant still in hand.
He backed the car and waited inside. He debated whether or not to leave the engine on to heat the car. It was of course the coldest time of the year so he left the heater on.
In less than 20 minutes he noticed the porch door swing open and out she came in a beautiful maroon dress and a (fake) furry cover. He jumped out of his car and ran to open the door for her.
“You look beautiful,” he smiled. A cliché line, but he truly meant it. He watched her as she sat in his car and adjusted the bottom of the dress.
"Aren't we on a tight schedule?" She looked up at him, still staring at her.
He immediately closed the door and ran to the other side of the car to join her inside.
“You look absolutely beautiful” he said, holding absolutely still.
To his surprise this made her laugh. “Are you gonna take me on this date or are you gonna keep flirting with me on this driveway until I blush myself to death?”. She let her urge to reach for his hand and gently touch him win.
He smiled again, grabbed her hand and kissed it.
“Let’s get out of here”. He said driving away.
—————————————————————————
Tumblr media
THATS IT FOR PART ONE!!!!!!
Spoke to my boyfriend about our date to write this more from the man’s perspective. Let me know if you want me to do that more often.
I was originally going for only a quick thing but it would have been too long. I’ve already started on Part 2 so the next one shouldn’t be too far away.
Let me know if you want me to explore any other ideas (smut welcome lol)

rewatching age of adaline and it briefly presents something really interesting: adaline has a blind friend that she has clearly known for a long time, simply because she is the only friend that adaline can keep (since she does not visibly age). While the friend is only briefly on screen, they clearly have a relationship that is valuable to both of them. Her blindness is also not over-emphasized, nor is it inspiration porn (though unfortunately the actress is not actually blind, which is an issue, but unrelated to my point).
After seeing this so casually woven into the story, it honestly feels unrealistic that other non-aging human-like beings (like vampires, for instance) wouldn't have figured this out. That they can have meaningful relationships with people that can only exist precisely because this person cannot see them. Or what about a siren that is best friends with a deaf person, because they don't have to worry about their voice getting in the way. With everything that the supernatural have to avoid, or simply cannot do the way humans do, it genuinely surprises me that many of them would not find community with disabled people.

I assume age of adaline is for the Straights, because like sure I guess michiel huisman is hot if you like that sort of guy but his character was so creepy and misogynistic.
This movie also had so so much potential, like, here's a woman who doesn't age and who lived through two world wars and was chased by the fbi, had to leave her daughter behind, and became a medical specialist to try and find out why she doesn't die and we go through that in the first, what, 20 minutes of the movie, just to spend the rest on this weird, contemporary, romance that was just creepy?? Also everyone's just cool with her having dated william in the 60s and now dating his son? I'd leave for that alone tbh
Anyway blake lively's gorgeous and some of the outfits were great so there was that at least

Someone has to write this. I just watched age of adaline. My heart. Oh, I immediately ship William/adaline just from this scene.
I will adore you forever if you write a fic where adaline and William just get back together. Hell, he named a comet for her. Jesus. Their story has more to it and I see so much chemistry.

You ever watch a movie where a character has to put down their dog due to old age and you’re struck with the aching sadness and knowledge of your own dog’s mortality??
I literally can’t stop crying and my dog is only two years old.
