Well, hello🧷🤍
I saw your eager request abt some Marcus headcannons (don't worry, I'm not judging you, I'd do the same), and I immediately ran to write this (sheeshh never been so fast).
Okay, everything I would say here will totally debut in my fic, because why not? He deserves it.
His father was an rememberble enforcer (who achieved a good warden position) and that's the reason he joined Piltover's Police Academy/force ;
Initially he was really vulnerable but his father pressured him to "act like a man" and to really commit to the job ;
No, he didn't had a good relationship with him, but he still loved him; on the contrary, his relationship with his mother has a lot better ;
Then, he dedicated for it, and he was really devoted in trying to impress and have everyone's approval, especially his father ;
Grayson noticed this on him, and admired his stubborness in terms of pursuing his goals ;
However, he began to acquire this bad habit- his father being so harsh made him patronizing some noobs ;
Actually, made two best friends there (I'll make them my ocs) and they usually went together to patrol and even going out for lunch. With time, they naturally split their relationship ;
Only had one girlfriend, and that's only because she was the daughter of his father's good friend. Also, she was desperate to slide into his pants, and yeah, she was cute... so Marcus couldn't denied it ;
One evening, Grayson was invited for dinner by his father to commemorate his rise of office (from a cadette officer to an enforcer). That was actually the best night he ever had, despite some of his father comments ;
Time passes, and he became more and more confident in his shoes. Being friends w/ Grayson strengthened his capabilities, and he was super excited when she offered the warden to be his right-hand man ;
Look, something that would piss him off the most is seeing Grayson demostrating the same act of affection towards the noobs, and especially towards this new cadette- Caitlyn ;
Yes, my boi is super jealous and would die for approval ;
Marcus hated his cousins, because they'd always mess up with his coins collection ;
And everytime he showed it to someone, they would absolutely ignore it... ;
His mom gifted him a black german shepherd puppy, and they instantly became best friends!!🐾 He would always go on trails and hikes with her to River Pilt (his favorite place) ;
His favorite workout days were upper body and abs days, but he would always prefer to go for a run in the morning ;
Would never forget to buy coffee for Grayson (he even memorized all her favorite flavors and toppings) ;
No one teached him how to groom, and when the beard began to grow he would immediately shave it BUT he likes his sideburns, because "it accentuates my jawline" ;
At his 20s, his father was killed in a military mission in Zaun. He was shocked and couldn't believe it. The strongest man he knew it's now dead... ;
The last thing he did, was attending to his funeral, but leaving almost before it ended ;
From here, he dived into some addictions like smoking and drinking and he became really spiteful.
Yeah, I have more but I think you got some ideas from this hahah. Thanks for reading so far 💖🌷✨
OHHH MAN I LOVE THESE!!!! Makes me wish we had more backstory on Marcus.
Poor baby, I hate when people are all like “act like a man blah blah blah” like it’s normal to have emotions :(
Mayhaps his s/o could help get his emotions out of him

Eren Jaegar x Reader - Being Together for each other - One Shot
(The reason why I sometimes chose an other age as a background of my fictions, is because I like to imagine different eras when my imagination goes wild, lol. I don’t know if you find my following kind of background or my story interesting, but for anyone who will read it, I hope you enjoy. : )) )
•The background of the story takes place some decades after the Industry Revolution. The cities have already been developed, being full of machines and factories.
•That's not only this kind of world that exists though. You and Eren had grown up on a village. Actually, you could say that you two had grown together. Going on the same school, playing together on yards, exploring the woods like you were on mini adventures, etc, you know, stuff children usually do.
•As you two were almost finishing the school Eren had a little bit of a change on his character, like every human being. He was serious all the time and his smiles were more like sadden smiles. It's not that all this was something abnormal. As a human grows, they understand more and observe even more. So, many realizations are not always welcomed happily.
•Eren though had, let's say, a little bit of a flaw. He was giving up easily. He was preferring doing nothing when an obstacle was appearing in his life.
•You and Eren as old teens had spend hours discussing together about life and your problems, while sitting alone on short stone walls, in the nature or while walking.
•Eren had problems with his family. They had many arguments. Those were a big reason why Eren was most of the time gloomy.
•You believed that one day Eren would recover from all of this and that all he needed was time. But this kind of changing wasn't coming. Years passed and Eren sunk into depression. It wasn't visible at first, because it came slowly.
•You and Eren were no more students, but adults who needed to survive. You decided to study to nearby city's University, even though it was something unusual for women back then (but we don't care lol). You were going to city by bus, and sometimes you were also living there. That's why you weren't in contact with Eren everyday and you hadn't noticed that he had "fallen" in a hole that he couldn't escape emotionally.
•At the same period that you were studying, Eren wasn't putting even the smallest aim in his everyday life. He wasn't even starting a job, even to sell products from his family's farm.
•After you finished your studies you got an office job (or whatever else you want) at the city.
•One day you visited your hometown. As you walked the familiar roads of your village you ran into Eren. He was dragging a cart full of woods. His hair had grown a little, which he had pulled backwards, so they could not fall in front of his face. He was sweating because of his work and his clothes were having dirt on them.
•Your appearance surprised him, not only because he wasn't expecting you to be on the village, but also because of your different look. You were wearing a pencil skirt, a buttom-up shirt and heels. You were also resting a shoulder bag around your right shoulder, also holding it's straps with your right arm. You were looking so elegant and beautiful, causing Eren to blush a little.
•You both stood still looking at each other, Eren being at a loss with a slightly open mouth. He opened-closed his mouth slightly and finally spoke.
"Y/N?"
"Hey Eren"
You greeted him shyly, because you noticed his blushed and shocked state. Your eyes looked up at him, and you gave a small smile.
"You have changed"
Eren added with admiration
"Really?"
You asked as you added a small awkward laugh
"Y-Yeah"
He answered while rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'm sorry that I don't greet you properly. I'm full of dirt..."
•Eren added whipping slowly and awkwardly his hands on his clothes. He lowered his gaze down blushing more, because of his messy appearance, while you were there neat, with clean new clothes and your hair obviously made from a hair salon.
"Oh come on now, I grew up on a village, I know how it is, don't be sorry."
You told him while walking towards him.
"I'm going to visit my parents. I would like to greet yours as well, would you like to accompany me?"
You asked him while standing next to him.
"Y-Yeah, of course"
Eren answered and you walked ahead first as he turned his cart around to follow you. As you were ahead his eyes fell on your butt, who was moving right and left, wrapped with your tight skirt.
'That's city life'
He thought to himself, having slightly pink cheeks.
•That day you stayed for dinner at Eren's house. When you were about to leave you noticed that it was raining a lot outside, so Eren suggested you to wait at his home until the rain stops.
•You two headed to his room, it wasn't like the first time you went there. You two had grown up like you were siblings or relatives, that's how close you were.
•When you entered his room you headed to his bed and sat there. You leaned down and took off your heels with your hand leaving a pain sigh.
"Ah.. these heels are killing me. I suffer when I wear them for hours..."
You said while you lifted your legs on Eren's bed, benting them and resting them on your side.
Not only Eren could see your bare feet through your tights, but your painted nails on your toes as well. If that would be possible, Eren would 'nosebleed' at that moment. But he tried to be expressionless, walking on his room like nothing was happening. He took a chair and sat across of you, resting his left elbow at the back of the chair and he also crossed his legs.
"Why you sat so far away?"
You asked him with full of question in your voice, smiling also at him in a way that was showing that you found his state weird.
"Why you didn't sat there?"
You asked him again while looking and pat pat-ing the spot of the bed next to you
"Nah, I'm cool"
He answered by closing his eyes and doing a circle with his hand/fingers with his left arm, in which he is supporting his self.
"No, you are not"
You told him moving your head slightly right and left, with an awkward side smile and added:
"You are acting weird"
"Am I?"
He asked trying to sound natural.
"Yeah"
You answered immediately. But Eren just shrugged and lifted his eyebrows as an answer to show that he wasn't seeing anything wrong. He changed the subject anyway.
"Will you stay many days here at the village?"
"No, I'm leaving tomorrow."
You answered to Eren.
"So soon? Why?"
"I have to go back to work. I just came by to see my family and my closest people."
"Oh, so am I one of your closest people?"
Eren asked you by lifting instantly his eyebrows to tease you, also smirking at the same time.
"Of course, you idiot"
You answered seriously. Eren liked your answer and just stood still looking at you like he was observing your face, or you could say your expression. He then observed all of you, reminding to himself that you look beautiful and more woman than ever. It was like he was having a different Y/N in front of him. Eren was admiring you not only for your change but because you were an independent person who was living alone and working on the city. At the same time he was jealous by this kind of lifestyle and he was feeling like he had been left behind. (The living alone part I know that it may not be realistic for women back then, but anyway I wanted it like that)
•Some months have passed since that day. It was now a cold night of the winter and you were returning home from work.
•As you were walking on the pavement, your eye fell on a man that was sitting down on a narrow pass between two buildings. He was sitting with his legs bented because of the cold and his gaze was down. He was wearing a white buttom-up shirt, black pants and a beige coat, all those clothes in a not good condition.
•For some reason that silhouette was seeming familiar to you, even though he looked like a stranger. His long hair were failing on his face, so it was difficult to see him clearly. But you approached him slowly.
"Eren?"
You asked that man without being sure it was really Eren. Only his eyes met you, without moving. The expression of his eyes was calm and his lips were slightly open, but he wasn't saying anything. How this man with the messy long hair, the grown beard and the sloppy clothes, who was sitting on the city's street like a homeless man, could be Eren? Yet, you couldn't ever forget his dark green eyes and you were sure that man was Eren.
"Eren is that you?"
You continue to ask that man but didn't get any answer back. Specifically, he looked away like he wanted to stop your questions.
"Eren I know it's you, why you don't talk to me?"
You asked him worryingly and scared for his state. You approached him even more and bented your knees so you could come closer to his height.
"Eren.. what's happening?"
You asked him quietly. That man, clearly that it was Eren, seemed annoyed by your questions, more like annoyed because of his state and that you found him like that. He rolled his eyes and turned his head to the right so he could avoid your gaze and he tapped his feet three/four times on the ground, as proof that he didn't like this situation.
"Go to your home Y/N"
He finally said with a low voice.
"Eren! I knew it was you! What are you doing here? Are you alright?"
You asked him obviously worried and grabbed his shoulder as you were talking to him. Eren shook his shoulder so you could let him go, his face still turned away from you.
"Y/N. I said. Go home."
Eren told you in a more demanding way. By the way his voice was sounding, you could understand that he was hurt emotionally.
"No.. Eren.. I don't understand. I can't leave you like that. Tell me, what are you doing here? What happened to you?"
It seemed like he wasn't about to answer.
"It's okay Eren, you don't have to tell me now. But, please, come with me. Let's go to my home."
No answer again.
"You are worrying me sick, you know- Oh my God, what happened to your face? Are you hurt? Did you got hurt anywhere else?"
You bombarded Eren with questions. Your brain couldn't accept what it was seeing and you were let's say shocked.
Eren seemed to have some red spots and wounds near his left eye, which was not visible at first because his long hair were covering them. He couldn't avoid you anymore, you had discovered him at this terrible state and you weren't about to leave.
Once more he was looking away and his lips trembled. His eyes were a little bit red and misty.
"I decided to visit the city.."
He started saying but paused. You were waiting patiently for him to continue.
"I found a hotel to stay for while.."
Eren's gaze was down to the ground having the image of his previous days in his mind that he is describing to you.
"During my stay here...some strangers robbed me.."
He paused again like he was thinking before answering.
"...and hurt me in order to do to that."
You moved your head to your side with a sad expression, feeling sorry about Eren.
"I didn't have money anymore to stay at the hotel.. and we reach at my current state that you see me."
Eren admitted at the end, not liking that he was saying all this to you.
"Why you didn't return home?"
You asked him quietly.
"How could I? How could I present myself to my parents like that? There was no way for me to do that."
Eren said determinedly, looking this time at your eyes.
"Why you didn't try to find me then?"
You asked him connecting your eyebrows worryingly.
"That's even worse. And see me like that? Not that you didn't anyway..."
He answered you, lowering his gaze to his knees.
"Eren.. don't say that. I'm here for you any time you need me. You have this bad habit and never ask for help from the others. Anyone needs help from time to time."
You told him reassuringly with care.
"How come you decided to come here in the first place?"
You asked him to learn more.
"I wanted to find a job."
He answered you
"But that didn't went well"
He added, something breaking inside of him.
"I can't do anything right. Nothing is right. Life is never with my side. Everything gets shittier and shittier, and in the end I'm a fucking loser."
"No Eren, you are not a loser"
You tried to said but Eren interrupted you.
"Yes, I am Y/N! I'm fucking disappointed with myself! I can't even understand me!"
Eren broke out having an indignant expression. You then approached him even more, shoving yourself between his knees and hugging him warmly around his neck. Eren returned the hug, shoving his face on your shoulder. His hand grabbed tightly your coat and he let out a small wimp, tears leaving quietly his eyes.
You put your your right hand behind Eren's head, leaned back a little and touched your lips on his forehead, staying still for a while.
A drunk man that was walking not steadily down the pavement, passed by you two and laughed at himself.
"Lucky bastard"
He said loud enough looking at Eren, because in the eyes of his he was seeing a homeless man having a fine woman between his legs hugging and kissing him. And like that the drunk man lost in the dark of the night.
After your kiss on Eren's forehead you leant back resting your right palm on Eren's left cheek. Eren had a look in his eyes like he had found warmth.
"Eren, you will come now home with me and I don't accept any objection. You hear me?"
You shook a little Eren's face with your right hand as you said 'you hear me' to him. That's what Eren would like to do but he was too embarrassed to follow you. He just stood still having like a guilty look, looking you at your eyes. You could understood what the answer was by his eyes so that's why you said:
"Now get up"
You told him as you stood up first and grabbed him by his one upper limb to give him motivation to stood up.You tried to pull him but Eren let out a pain cry because his left leg was hurt. You did a worried expression looking at him in his face like you were asking him 'what's going on?'.
"It's nothing"
Eren said with pain in his voice and managed to stood still by grabbing your hand. You saw that he was limping so you grabbed his right arm and crossed it around your shoulders to help him stand. Eren looked at you with connecting eyebrows and added
"I'm a total loser"
"No, you are not! Shut up and move your butt!!"
You scolded him and like that you two took the road towards your apartment.
~°~°~°~
•One month had passed since the previous event. Eren is living now at your apartment for a while till he stands on his feet and find a steadily job.
•He even got rid of his beard and decided to have a nice haircut so he would look more elegant. The day he did that change he asked you as he returned home.
"How do I look? Am I better now?"
He was all happy and lively, having a big smile. As he did the questions he posed turning left and right grabbing his suit's jacket.
"You always you look good. But, yeah, you look very nice now."
You answered naturally with a smile and kept tidying some things in the living room that you did before. Eren wanted you though to notice him more and said
"What do you say, would the ladies like me now?"
You did a side smile and turned only your head towards Eren.
"So you came only for the city ladies and not actually for working huh?"
You answered him teasingly.
"Well, I'm just wondering if it's too dangerous for me to go around with that new look of mine"
Eren continued the teasing looking himself in the living room's mirror and getting his fingers through his hair like he was admiring himself.
"Ladies' killer don't forget you have an appointment for your new job in a half an hour. You will miss the bus if you don't hurry."
You told him like a mum. Eren wished you would pay more attention on his appearance.
"I know, that's why I got dressed so nice today."
He said, straightening up the collar of his button-up shirt, still looking at the mirror.
"It would be a pity though to wear my suit just for a short time. Why don't we go out after my interview and tell you how I got the job?"
He said smirking and sure of himself.
"Oh, you are asking me out mr. Jaegar?"
Eren tried to act cool and said
"I'm just asking an old friend of mine to accompany me after my today's success."
He answered still looking in the mirror observing himself, like if he was indifferent. You laughed with Eren's mood because you found his acting cute.
"Then how can I deny your suggestion? I will be ready by the time you return home."
You told him with a smirk. Eren suddenly felt the happiest man on the planet.
•Eren indeed got the job and even though he was working he was still living in your apartment. To be more specific, he was sleeping separately from you, in the guest's room.
• It was supposed though to be like you two have agreed at first, for Eren to live with you until he could stand on his own. But none of you were saying anything about it anymore. You two actually were enjoying each other's company and wouldn't like to be separated.
•One night you returned really tired from your work that the first thing you wanted to do when you would return home was to sleep.
"Hey Y/N"
Eren greeted you from the couch in which he was sitting, smiling as you got home. You let out a 'hey' with a low voice as you were getting off your heels.
"How was work today?"
He asked you and you answered him by just turning your head towards him, showing him your exhausted state.
"Okay, I get it"
He added.
"How about I prepare you a nice warm bath to help you relax?"
He offered to you as he stood up approaching you.
"No, it's okay Eren. I'm so tired even for this. I will just go to sleep right away. Thanks for the thought."
You answered him as you headed towards your room to change your clothes. Then you visited to bathroom to find your brush. As you were combing your hair Eren appeared and rested himself at the doorframe, crossing his arms. He looked you up and down at you with a smile. You were wearing just a nightgown.
"You are beautiful"
He commented and you stopped your motions looking at him.
"Where did this came from?"
You asked him, observing him, having lips that wanted to smile.
"Nowhere. I'm just telling what I’m seeing."
"Well, thanks"
You answered him awkwardly, not expecting the compliment. Your heart started to beat faster not knowing what to do or say. You two stayed silence.
"W-Well, now, w-will you excuse me?"
You said to Eren still awkwardly by grabbing bathroom's door, meaning that you wanted to close the door and go to the toilet. Eren answered with a double nod and lifted his right lower limb to the air like he was saying 'yeah, of course' and turned away. He also rubbed the back of his neck while walking away, feeling nervous.
•As you returned to your room, you shoved yourself under the blankets and your eyes closed right away. Eren appeared by your door which was slightly open, hoping you haven't slept yet.
"Oh, Y/N, I forgot you to tell you. There's some dinner left. I cooked tonight. Your favourite fooood. Pasta."
He said playfully but as he opened the door more he saw that you have fallen asleep completely. You were laying on your back your face turned to the side. Eren approached you, climbing at the bed's side where was some space. You moved a little in your sleep because your sleeping state felt some interruption. Eren stopped moving, looking at you. He saw that your hands were out of the blanket. He grabbed the blanket's edge and he covered you properly. He then took some hair away that was infront of your face and thought 'Now it's my turn to take care of you'.

Mistletoe
The snow came down like fluttering kisses on Bruce Banner's cheek. The contrast on the city lights in the distance, and the dark night decorated in the white snowflakes as Bruce tried to Pare himself of all the noise.
It was not that the party was too Grandoise, rather it's vivacious nature within the compound of so many people was stressful if for extended periods of time. The cold flakes on his eyelashes and cheeks helped him relax.
What was set up as a Liaison between the Avengers and the Guardians became quite the Algamation for the season celebrations. By Bruce's estimations of how much bragging and drinks that had been shared, it was only a matter of time before the Banter turned Quarrelsome.
Almost on que, a loud crash in a crowd cheering going over the music from behind him. Bruce could hear Sam's laugh clearly as the door opened behind him. Someone was joining him, and as the glass door slid closed behind them, the Cheer and exuberant noise was once more muffled away, feeling far away.
Bruce felt the warmth of a body wrap around him, and fingers intertwine with his. "Your highness." He whispered with a smile creeping on his lips, not realizing how cold he is in comparison to the warm hanks encompassing his like an avalanche on a mountain, his hands were cut and scared like they were. Thor kissed the side of Bruce's head.
"What are we seeing tonight?" The God asked quietly. Bruce always had a beautiful mind. Thor savored every thought from it, far richer then any knowledge from Asgard's libraries.
Bruce squinted at the distance, darkness was all he saw. "Old Christmas memories." Bruce said under his breath, tensing his hand muscules under Thors.
Thor knew Bruce's past well enough, and refused to let it shadow Bruce. At least this year.
Thor cleared his throat. "I too have memories for this celebration. Would you like to know the story of mistletoe?" Thor asked his tone jovial, moving from behind Bruce to beside him, his hands going right back to the scientist's rather quickly.
Muffled almost jazz like music picked up from inside, Thor swaying a little. Trying to convince Bruce to as well. Thor spoke, and kept his eyes on Bruce's hands as he did so.
"Long long ago, the God Baldur was very young, as winter came to Asgard, and my mother made sure all the beings would swear never to harm him."
Thor pulled Bruce away from the edge, holding up Bruce's hands to shoulder height to continue swaying and to face another.
"It became a game to throw things at Baldur, and nothing would hurt him. It was quite the game. Much like the drinking game between Stark and Natasha." Thor glanced at the glass doors, the whole family of heroes still in the main living room, each face showing complete adoration for another as they laughed.
"Loki became quite jealous of Baldur, and tricked our mother in telling him of how she made each plant, creature and rocks promise to never cause harm to her Baldur."
Thor spinned Bruce, causing a smile to escape his face as he listened intently.
"All but one plant." Thor said, his own smirk growing. "My mother thought that the mistletoe was too young to give an oath, and with that Loki went off to collect the plant."
Bruce chuckled quietly. Leave it to his brother-in-law to be willing to track down a single plant that can kill someone out of sheer jealousy.
"Loki wouldn't want his hands directly to cause this, so he gave the mistletoe to the blind God, Hother and guided his arm in throwing it towards poor dear Baldur."
Thor dipped down Bruce, smile going from a smirk to a full face stretch of joy. "And it worked, Baldur was shot through with it." He pulled Bruce back up, this time pulling him close to his chest for a warm hug before he started walking backwards, towards the glass doors. "Mother was so hurt, she made the Mistletoe swear that it would only be used for good. It became the symbol of love and protection from those under it."
Bruce took the story in, most mortals would see the story as a twisted story, but the way Thor spoke so fondly, Bruce had begun to love all of them. Banner wanted their love to become something someone will tell their beloved about, about their true love.. many years from now. He didn't fall in love with the God, but he fell in love with the brilliant, clever hero Thor.
The said hero stopped them once the glass doors slid open. Bruce expected them to go inside, but Thor held them there expectantly. It took Bruce a moment before he realized what was above them.
Mistletoe.
Bruce shook his head, feeling that green tinted blush fill his cheeks. "You planned this all along didn't you?" It was more of a statement then a question. What an absolute dork.
Bruce looked up and took Thor's cheek i his hand. Calloused hands and the scruffy beard paired together. There was beauty in this, thought Thor. Two men whom have been dragged through stories far worse then that of Baldur, and yet out from it they get to hold another?
Every chapter of pain, every mistake, every snow flake that flaked in between them..all of it for this moment. Thor wouldn't change a single thing.
Bruce stepped up on Thor's shoes just to be tall enough to kiss Thor. The cold melted from their faces once their lips touched, gentle and affectionate. Thor had only deepened the kiss before a gaging noise came from the spectators watching the two kiss in front of the open doors.
"Could you please step inside? You're let out all the heat." Chimed Clint.
"I think they are trying to cause the heat." Muttered Tony, cuddling under the blankets more, which promptly earned him a smack on the shoulder from Pepper.
Thor laughed, tugging Bruce to the couch to join the others. Bruce ran out of excuses for his embarrassment years ago and just choose to just make awkward eye contact with anyone. The pair sat down and got thier own blanket to share, Bruce resting his back on Thor's chest. the team and family resumed thier festivities, Bruce kissed Thor's chin once more.
"Happy Yule Thor."
"Merry Christmas Bruce."
//Merry Christmas @goddessofgamma ! I'm sure you figured out who your secret santa was hehehe, I had a lot of fun with this as I love to write but I've never attempted to write thorbruce. So for my poor writing I gave you two mood boards as well. I hope all of it brings you Joy, heres to our good sons being in love! Happy Yule!! //
