Holiday Torpe

Torpe (n.) : a man who is desperately in love with a woman, but cannot admit his feelings or approach her.

Pairing: Bucky x reader

Masterlist

Warnings: pinch of angst, but mainly fluff.

———————————————————————

The Christmas music was playing through the compound and if anyone was the most excited it was the ladies who’d be screaming their heads off about Christmas constantly. However, some men shared in on the excitement and it wasn’t hard to figure out why. With every year that passes, the avengers became the closest they possibly could around this time.

You and Wanda were twirling around in the common room while Nat & Carol decorated the tree. Steve shook his head laughing as Nat and him joked around about you and Wanda’s mental state.

“They’re just Christmas sluts.” Carol joked

“Amen, sister!” Wanda cheers

“I think they’re pretty normal.” Tony says as he struts in through the doorway.

“Define normal, Stark!” Sam taunts which he received the middle finger from a very unimpressed Stark.

One person who was absent was, Barnes. The man struggled with talking to you, you weren’t stupid by any means. You knew it was because he liked you, but you weren’t rude either and going to force him to do anything until he calmed down.

Bucky was always terrified of your power after it was revealed that you were a goddess and not an everyday human. You were the goddess of wisdom, poetry, art and war strategy. Yeah you were Athena the daughter of Zeus. You kicked Thor’s ass numerous times and you literally butted heads with Loki and never failed to make Steve blush like a little school girl when you came up with the plans.

Bucky had fallen right on his face when you shook his hand without a second glance at the metal appendage that was in your grasp. Call it weird, but Bucky had numerous fantasies about you and him and whenever you two were assigned together in missions, you two always had the job done in record time.

You were a badass and you loved to put people in their place, but spending time with the avengers for so long, you developed a more human side of you. You were the girl of Bucky’s dreams, but he struggled to talk to you for all the times you made him seem stupid after trying to understand all your fancy words and big ideas, but this man was your idiot. He would look at you with those beautiful blue eyes that seemed to sparkle and that adorable smile of his whenever he heard something funny.

However Bucky was in his room and just finished a notebook of poetry that came from his heart which was beating way too fast for it to be normal, but he wasn’t normal, this man was crazy about you. Poetry recounting the days since he first met you, to that very day, he was in deep and he loved it. He only wished to dig deeper into the feeling. Wrapping it up and sitting it on his dresser, he took a deep breath of air and looked in the mirror. His hair which was cut by Carol herself, made him look like his old self before falling off that train.

You liked his haircut and when you confessed that, he became like a little guppy out of water. His mouth kept opening, but nothing came out and the poor man panicked and bolted. You were determined to win him over, but you also wanted to be respectful too.

——-

Christmas came and people rushed to unwrap presents and Tony almost choked on his coffee when Bruce had given him a jar of melatonin gummies.

“Now I want you to eat them all and hibernate for three years.” Bruce had joked

Tony almost fainted, but none the less had accepted it. Carol didn’t wish for much, but she really got excited when she was given her favourite candles and a hand knitted sweater for goose.

Bucky had Steve holding him down on the couch due to his anxiety flying through the roof. Sure enough, everyone filed out of the room to relax before dinner had to be started. Bucky looked at you before handing you a gift.

“Thank you, Bucky.” You were honestly shocked he got you something.

You open it and see it’s a notebook with “what I wanted to say, but couldn’t” written on the front.

Opening it and seeing the date you first met the avengers, you were shocked at how fast that man really fell for you.

With verses like:

You manage to make the strongest soldier weak & that’s a lot to say or so to speak.

It’s often frustrating not having the words in my mouth or mind, but I’m not gonna lie, you understand me better as if we were intertwined.

I used to understand my feelings and used to be so strong, but how are you supposed to speak, when the music plays in your head but you can’t sing the song.

“I hope you don’t hate me for this. I’ve never been this nervous around anyone.” Bucky says after finding a new found confidence.

“For finding a way to finally communicate? Hell no! I really love it. If this is how you expressed yourself to me, then this is the best way to express yourself. I’m proud of you, Bucky.” You smile

“Oh thank god.” He heaves out a deep breath making you laugh.

“And just so you know, this is easily going to be my favourite book, Bucky. Thank you for everything.” You say as you place a kiss to his cheek.

Bucky’s face flushed the same colour as his red henley shirt making you chuckle. He took a breath and pushed his lips to yours in a deep kiss making your heart melt.

“YES TIN MAN! You still got it!” Sam chants from across the room.

You two pull away and he takes your hand in his and places a kiss to it before taking you to his room to cuddle and hear your thoughts while reading your present.

Are We the Strongest? -

To Better Circumstances

masterlist

Their first encounter was less than ideal. There were no introductions, no handshakes, no greetings. It was life or death. Hero or villain. Relief or grief. And despite Carol's decades of singlehandedly saving galaxies and entire civilisations this short rescue mission felt like her most important one to date. A pressure like no other settled on her shoulders and she would come to wonder if that was what Tony Stark felt like on a daily basis. Ignoring the sense of make or break the fate of the entire universe that she was experiencing, Carol acted without hesitation. She strutted out of the compound and shot off into the void of space with one thing on her mind: find Tony Stark. This time, however, it felt different when she broke through earth's atmosphere. It felt as unknowingly important as the man himself was. Carol couldn't decide whether it was that knowledge or the lost group of heroes below that meant she could find the ship in under an hour.

When she encountered the gently drifting leaf on the ripples of a blue supernova, Carol swore she felt the weight fall from her sore muscles for a grand total of a second. Her heart froze with terrified agony as her eyes landed on the man with closed eyes, sunken cheeks and a chest that didn't seem to move. She willed herself to glow brighter, pushed the energy to every extremity of herself until even she had to squint if she wanted to catch the billionaire open his eyes with as much effort as it took her to lift the ship and steer it towards his home planet.

As he stumbled down the ramp a suffocating joyful relief thickened the air so much so that Carol found it hard to breathe until he embraced his fiancee, Pepper he had whispered into her neck.

Tony's arrival was chaotic to say the least. He refused to rest once his friend had connected him to a drip and pushed him into a wheelchair. Everybody fussed over him until he snapped at them and directed their attention to the other being that was starving and dying on that ship with him. He caught everyone up, they caught him up. And, although he refused to break, Carol saw the toll the battle had taken on him. Even when no one else did. It was insane, she thought, how everyone but his real friends could see his struggle. It was only when the man did a 360 on the captain who was anything but a captain that his broken insides were painfully visible for all to see. And, even though Carol had no idea what happened between them, she found herself smirking as the mortal man confronted the super soldier with no weaponry whatsoever but his words and cracks as if they were the deadliest bombs the man had encountered. The corner of her mouth sunk when he collapsed. She barely knew him and yet she reacted immediately, going to catch him before she realised it probably wasn't her place. Even so, Carol got the feeling that Steve would have done nothing if hed hadn't have been so close and it was tragic.

She didn't want to intrude. This wasn't her place to be. Her place was a comfortable bungalow in Louisiana, but it didn't feel like home anymore. However, there was a tug that told her she had to see Tony. Like it was calling her home. And it was strange. Incredibly strange. But real. So real. After he had woken up, he tired his soon-to-be wife and best friend out whilst proving to them that he was still him old self. Thinner and older and impossibly more traumatised. But still him. The pair had fallen asleep in their bedside seats, leaving Tony alone. But there was some nagging feeling that he didn't want to be, so Carol decided to go and check on him. One simple choice that would change a life or two.

She peeked around the door, waving a hand that no longer glowed.

"Hey, Carol, is it?" He tilted his head, fighting the smile that tried to make an appearance at the new captain. She nodded, closing the door softly behind her. "Thanks for saving me and all. Big fan of that whole photon glow thing you have going on-"

"You don't have to do that." Her tone was firm yet sincere at his obvious deflection. Sympathy washed over her as she wondered how many of his so-called friends overlooked it as plain and simple apathy. Even if he didn't want her, she'd make him feel understood. "Look, I'm not gonna ask how you are because I know you'll just say you're fine in the form of some snarky comment-"

"So you're me, if I was blonde, female and an alien?" Her voice was far too genuine for the fragile billionaire.

"I'm of the human disposition, unfortunately. Survived a blast from the tesseract, absorbed its energy and here we are." The corner of his mouth ticked up and Carol fought off her own smile. "I don't know what went on with you guys," she gestured to Steve who was examining a hologram outside with Natasha, "but I want you to know that I don't give a shit. That rant was the most satisfying and entertaining thing I've seen since 90's tv. And I know he deserved it." She dropped into the chair next to Rhodey as he chuckled. "I've seen the tapes. Of you fighting," and Tony was struck with the horrifying sense of deja vu. He wasn't ready for a new prospect in the friendship area to drag up his deepest insecurity and lay it all on the line. The line that he wouldn't lay down on and let someone else crawl over him, according to Rogers. "You're a good man. You fight for what's right, anyway you can, but you still take more precautions than the rest of them to preserve civilian lives." There was a beat of awkward silence as Tony mulled over her words and Carol let him before she clapped her hands. She winced, checking to see if Pepper or Rhodey had woken up. "Okay, well, that's the most emotion I've done for years." Tony laughed, it was loud — as loud as could be so his family wouldn't wake up — and glorious and it made Carol feel inexplicably proud.

"So besides turning into a glow worm because of the tesseract, what's your story?" He asked, shifting to get comfortable. She jumped up and held his arm as she rearranged his pillows. His gaze was intense as he examined her and she felt it burning through her so she cleared her throat.

"You know, not many people get to see that side of me." She admitted, running a hand over the back of her neck.

"I'm honoured?" He smirked.

"I was a pilot in the 90's. Couldn't fly for the army because I was a woman, so I tested planes. One day, I crash. Straight into some kind of alien mission. The Krees wanted the tesseract so I blew it up. Woke up and they turned me into their pawn. I didn't know what I was." Carol shifted, kicking her feet up onto the end of his bed. "My first proper mission goes wrong and I crash on earth. Fury meets me, you know Fury?"

"We've met." Tony cocked his head to the side. Did Fury really get himself everywhere?

"He told me a lot about you. Bitched about everyone in his confidential boy band." So she is a blonde, female version of him. "Anyway, he gives me a nice, warm greeting before I convince him of the Skrulls' existence. A shapeshifting alien race. Then, I find out I had a family. A best friend and her little girl. Maria and Monica." She looked at him and saw the realisation dawn on him. But it wasn't pity, it was understanding. She nodded and he interrupted for the first time.

"The kid," and Carol remembered his first words, "Spiderman. Queens' local vigilante. Teenager. Batshit crazy teenager, Peter. I tried to keep him safe. I did. I did everything, but it didn't work. I was ready to die for him, but that choice was taken from me by that stupid wizard." He stopped himself and looked to her, tears glistening. She could see the pleading in his eyes and she knew she should continue.

"They helped me find my old self. The Skrulls, they were just trying to find a home. So I knew I had to help them. I got to break free from the Krees' control. And I did. Destroyed some missiles from a dick called Ronan. Then, just helped the universe. And listened to Fury complain about his superhero children." Tony laughed, wiping his tears away. "You know, the Avengers are named after me." She bragged.

"Is that right?" He removed his glasses and placed them on the bedside table.

"Captain Carol 'Avenger' Danvers." She clarified. "Except, I'm a real captain. Unlike America over there." She jabbed a thumb at the stern-looking man. "Before I got promoted to colonel." Tony chuckled again.

"Oh my god. Please pull rank. Please. I beg you." Carol joined in, shaking her head.

"Couldn't do that to his ego. Its bigger than your's." She joked, rolling her eyes. "I'll do it if he pulls any shit with you."

"Carol Danvers, are you my guardian angel?"

"Maybe." She shrugged. "But if I was, I would have protected you from them."

"So Maria," he began, "just your best friend, right?" Tony swore looks could kill as his breathing slowed down and his heart sped up. It couldn't be a good combination.

"You're a bit like me, right? Kidnapped, turned into something bigger than you should be. Lied to. Betrayed. All of the hero origins combined into one very fragile human. Apart from, your brain gave birth to Ironman and my stupid nobility gave birth to Captain Marvel." If an AI had eyes, Tony was sure that it would roll its eyes at the amount of eye rolling that had taken place in the small hospital room.

"Yeah, I'm a genius."

"Hey, me too." She cheered, hushing her voice as James' head lolled to his shoulder.

"Well, maybe, but-"

"You're smarter, I'm stronger." Her voice dripped with humour, but Tony thought it was a good compromise.

"I'm not gonna argue with you there, firefly." He held his hands up in defeat. "You're the strongest of us all." Carol didn't normally like compliments, but it felt special from him. "Because you're me if I had the physical strength."

The rest of the night was filled with laughter until Carol's wrist lit up with a red alert.

"Duty calls, but it was nice meeting ya, Tony." She announced, standing. "Tell me if the big boy gives you any trouble." Her childish voice and condescending tone made the man smile. She was one foot out of the door when,

"Hey, Carol? If you ever need a place to crash, I'll send you the coordinates of the place I wanna build my house." He winked at her as she left. Perhaps he'd just made a new friend.

I’m with you till the end of the line, Avengers. I gathered for myself some thoughts after Avengers: Endgame so I might as well share them with you.

You know the deal, spoilers and random rambling under the cut

Let’s start with some Captian’s points:

First of all, CAP IS WORHTY and we knew all along and let me just tell you how powerful that was (whole cinema’s shouting and Thor’s cheering heck yeah)

Second of all, America’s ass. I almost stopped being mad for shaving his beard. So it’s almost forgiven so I’m just gonna leave this here.

Cap fighting Loki that is Cap is really comedy gold. That’s it.

Cap’s “civil” wardrobe. I hope that people taking care of that got paid really well cause it was a bloody well done job.

Hail Hydra. People went crazy when in the comics Cap turned out to be in Hydra and who thought Marvel would forget that wave of emotions. Oh, Marvel, how you can play with our sentiments so well I’m never gonna understand.

And finally, Steggy ending. Total euphoria, my dream ending of all time and deep secret wishes coming true. As a hardcore Steggy fan since forever my heart is full. That’s what they deserved after saying final goodbye to each other and sacrificing everything.

General

I am Iron Man. That was it, that was the moment when the MCU’s Godfather, first superhero and heart shone fully. And I’m so glad he got to see his father as a loving person, to be a father (of an equally-cheesburger-loving precious gal) and a husband himself and then put on the gauntlet and save the fucking universe. I love you three thousand.

Thor’s part makes me stop rambling a bit because I feel fantastic and confused at the same time. On the one hand, it’s freaking good to see that he’s not hanging in some empty space- that he feels terrible thinking he failed, that he’s devastated cause he lost everything and everyone. Denial and depression is okay. I appreciate showin “lost” (in so many ways) character. And then, there is him being a God. After Ragnarok I had slightly higher expectations since he’s really the stringest Avenger nad I just hoped sth equally epic would happen to him but in a way I understand.

Ant Man being precious as always, this time, with new space buddies. Give. Me. More. So happy to see it all good with Hope and Cassie. His time travel movie scenes kinda reminded me of Jake Peralta so it’s even better.

I love how they’re all laughing at the heist name and yet, here we are, having some hilariuos typically-heist movie scenes. Oh well :)

Korg in Taika’s pineapple shirt was everything. Thank you Russos.

I was so happy to see Clint in his game. After silent first Avengers and his absence in Infinity War it was refreshing to see him in real action. I also liked that they concentrated also on his relation with Natasha. Since I’m here, I must admit, she also shone especially as a leader! Damn she was good! She was vulnerable and strong, loving and firm. And when they were on their way to Vormir you could have felt what’s gonna happen. But at the same time, I don’t think I was ready to see it. The only regret is the Winter Soldier/Black Widow thread I wished to see. Also I kiiinda wish there would be a closure for Bucky/Steve, it was the relation around which a few movies were about. But the closure I wanted was supposed to be normal and y'know, friendly. No one left anyone, just living their life. Don't forget that they're two separate human beings, they don't have to live together forever and they can do whatever they want.

Movie sets a nice base for new Guardians of the Galaxy movie and Loki (being alive apparently?) and Winter Soldier/Falcon/Captain America? tv show so now it gets even more interesting.

Banner’s part was a little unexpected but I think it was a refreshing thing to see. He was either sad smol ½ sciences bro or furious Hulk. Here, he was kinda both but not really. Big plus: his relation with Thor, glad to see that after Ragnarok.

FINAL BATTLE

I felt power. Everyone being there, I felt those 22 movies and 10 years. IT REALLY WAS COMICS-LIKE. That was really something and it really showed what a huge industry it is.

I loved how they all were here. Alexander Pierce, Rumlow, Sidwell, Frigga, Jane Foster, Howard Stark, Peggy, Pym, Ancient One, Jarvis, Aunt May and all those characters thatactually piece together this whole hell of a story. This, and so many references, running jokes (strongest Avenger wink wink), easter eggs, literal quotes and small deatils (hey Queens was so brief and yet cute) made this experience 100000 times better. Those small things, like Steve’s group therapy taking place in the same room as Sam’s were, Spider-man’s killing mode (finally!) or Harley from IM3 at the funeral.

Loose thoughts

Carol who - I kinda liked how she wasn’t the main fighter here. I was afraid that they’re gonna go the easy way “someone strnger came and she’s gonna kick Thanos’ ass just like that”. But also, her scenes were fanstastic.

Peter and Tony hug - I really waited for that. Stupid, but this relation was crazy-entertaining

Proof that Tony Stark had a heart - that’s it, I’m done

Girls power - oh hell yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. Sad that we couldn;t see Widow in that group since she’s Marvel’s first female hero but still, empowering!

Valkyrie being a leader - other people see it as surprising, I feel like she grew up to that. She can still be a horse-flying drunk fighter but when people needed it, she took matters into her own hands. She was there when Thor was absent.

Time jumping scenes were such a pleasure. Hulk hating stairs, Quill singing, Frigga scene, so many gems.

Pepper in a suit, that’s a new one!

Finally

The movie was so gratifying. It was bittersweet but perfect; it’s good to feel that it was worth it. We got a closure we deserved. It’s a wonderful reward and I felt appreciated as a viewer who spent x hours at the cinema, who was waiting for those post credit 30 seconds scenes, who got attached to some characters, who rewatched movies numerous times to be sure that every detail was noticed. It’s good to feel that way and participating in that huge cinema experience from the early years really makes me feel like it paid off now. Not that it matters, but all of this makes this whole thing even more perfect. What a ride.
