My part of an art trade with @fridgrave - hope you like it! 💜
It‘s those two from her AU where Benji joins the Syndicate ✨
Took the chance to challange myself and actually use color and proper shading. It was a struggle haha OTL

So I did the color of my Oc drawing😁. Wysteria the chinese wisteria bonsai. Unfortunately I don't draw creatively with backgrounds and I don't know much about shading, but I might improve it.
Ok, here are the inspirations:

Ask meme: 🎨🎥❔ for your fankids
W-Which of all of them? 😳
Just kidding, I'm trying to make it as simple as possible and "just" do this with my four NER-fanchildren plus Minerva, because she always needs more love (from my side) too!
Milian
🎨 What is the exact shade of their favorite color?
Imagine polar lights – and then make them neon!
Tumblr media
🎥 Do they have a comfort movie/show?
Milian‘s not the greatest fan of sitting around and „just“ watching shows or movies, but he thinks it‘s so funny how Sci-Fi works like Star Trek and Star Wars tried to predict the future and its designs. He watches them like you and me would see a movie to have a good laugh.
❔Give us a random fun fact! 
Despite having a ton of piercings, Milian only got one tattoo, the one on his right arm. He didn‘t enjoy the session that much, and in comparison to the sharp yet short pain of a piercing, the end result of a tattoo isn‘t worth it to sit through the tattoo session for hours. Patience isn't really his strongest point.
Luucy
🎨 What is the exact shade of their favorite color?
A warm, gentle Carmine Red.
Tumblr media
🎥 Do they have a comfort movie/show?
Fairytale movies, especially the ones being handdrawn and with a lot of old charme. It doesn‘t matter they‘re mostly made for children, even as an adult, Luucy does enjoy them too.
❔Give us a random fun fact! 
During her time at the ballett boarding school, sometimes Luucy did train so hard her feet would start bleeding. She wouldn‘t mind the pain or feeling of her shoes being soaked, but her teachers were very furious about this. First rule of being a good dancer is to take care of your health, and if Luucy wouldn‘t look after herself, she wouldn‘t be allowed to stay any longer. From this point on, she would make sure her shoes would always be as clean as freshly fallen snow.
Athena
🎨 What is the exact shade of their favorite color?
Royal blue, with the slightes tint of purple.
Tumblr media
🎥 Do they have a comfort movie/show?
Athena does enjoy various soap operas, but her favourite is definitely Swindling Passion; movies with a lot of romance and heartbreak (but in the end, also hearthealing) are something she does enjoy greatly too.
❔Give us a random fun fact! 
Despite being the shortest in her family, Athena actually got the loudest voice. She doesn‘t has to scream to get the attention of everyone, but if she wants to, she is always willed to make everyone become silent.
Jacob
🎨 What is the exact shade of their favorite color?
uRpLe
Tumblr media
🎥 Do they have a comfort movie/show?
The first few years, he would never, ever admit it, but Jacob‘s just as much invested in Swindling Passion as Athena is. When he realizes it‘s useless to care about others opinions, he never misses one episode of the soap opera, always chatting with his sister about it.
❔Give us a random fun fact! 
Jacob got only one pair of glasses, but various temples, to match his current mood. He‘s usually not that interested in fashion, but it‘s fun to „decorate“ the most important piece of his outfit.
Minerva
🎨 What is the exact shade of their favorite color?
Pink. Period.
Tumblr media
🎥 Do they have a comfort movie/show?
As a child, Minerva was somewhat obsessed with the puppet show „Bunny Brigade“ (yeah, you can see where I did steal this from…). Even as teen, she sometimes can find a good laugh in the childish show, and admires the toy animal of her favourite bunny maybe just as much as the owl plush she got from Gillian as baby.
❔Give us a random fun fact! 
She gets a meltdown whenever she comes near shampoo and/ or a brush. And no, it doesn‘t get much better the older she gets – despite this, Minerva still insists on having long hair. Emma will never get it.
~~~
Thanks a lot for asking, @thathilomgirl! It's always great fun to talk about ones OCs 😘

gods, this boy is so damn cute!
his watercolor blue eyes with light & dark shades, the plump pink lips, the hooked nose and his dark blonde hair
I could loose myself in those pretty eyes and just want to kiss his prominent lips
and gods, his voice! it‘s so deep, sending shivers down my spine. please, if he whispered in my ear or against my lips I would die.
and then he walks around in his wide stylish jeans and this black hoodie that I just want to wear too because it sure smells like him. he carries this tote bag at school and gets out the cute case with his stuff at the start of the lesson
just everything he does makes me think of how cute he is, like the different colored highlighting in a task, the smart answers in class, the way he behaves with his friends
his smile is so pretty, his laugh and grin makes me grin too
(but, I don‘t know if he notices me, I don‘t even surely know if he‘s single, I don‘t know if he could possibly like me that way. it can be almost dangerous and definitely embarrassing for me if I admit it to him or one of the others. I‘m a coward, that‘s just how it is and as long there isn‘t some kind of wonder happening I probably won‘t..)

Hoot again!
Bands are ruining normal sentences for me 😭
I cannot say “before I forget“ without at least snorting because of slipknot and now “it’s been a while“ is impossible to use without making everyone notice how that‘s a line too xD
(I really don‘t mind, it‘s the best king of fuel for my dumb jokes)
Being good sounds awesome :D
But that also sounds stressful as hell
Dice are awesome! I think if I ever buy my first set, I’ll never be able to stop again
One kind of the pens I got (Copic markers) literally cost 7,20€ per fucking pen
And it works better the more colors you have to blend
So that‘s fun /s xD (I usually get 2-4 at a time but I can never decide on which shades I want)
~owlish anon
Hoot back at you :D
Copics are so neat and blendable, and you're right they are pricey :(
I have over 100 dice atm, but there's always room for more in the dice hoard, and I didn't have any dice like this yet, so I thought, why not.

Can you maybe if it‘s okay with you, show how you shade in your art? I absolutely love it in every piece of art you post and might wanna try something similar myself.
it's ok but tbh i don't know how to show it cause i don't have layers..... i painted on one. So i might give u some tips i used ? Pls feel free to ask me again if i misunderstand ur question :D
the most important is the logical in a painting, you have to set up a light source, it's very important to make ur drawing looks "legit" lol i use Tone curved to make sure the value is 'impressive' enough (it's a tool in CSP and PTS, idk if SAI has it) i always make sure there is an amount of cool colors in the shadow (EX: Blue, purples, depends on the whole painting)
i also tend to make a blurry "line" outside the shadow because it makes the shapes clearer and it's also something i was inspired from Impressionism art
tbh im sorry if u have heard those tips before aaaaa im trying

6 of the Most Popular Interior Design Styles
There are so many different interior design styles that it can quickly become overwhelming to figure out what’s right for you. Whether you’re redesigning your current home or planning to buy a new one, how do you know what your style is?
For some people, there isn’t one particular design style that fits their lifestyle and aesthetic, but at least by understanding some of the basics, you’re prepared to start designing your home.
The following are six of the most popular and loved design styles for interiors right now.
1. Transitional
Transitional interior design is arguably the most popular because it brings together things people love about traditional and modern styles. It doesn’t go too far in either direction. Transitional style can give a homeowner a sense of elegance that we tend to associate with traditional style, but you can also combine more modern, contemporary lines and textures.
The primary focus of transitional design is on the furniture itself and your textiles, rather than having a lot of accessories.
There’s also a good balance between masculine and feminine in transitional design.
2. Modern
Modern is not the same as contemporary. Modern design is a particular time period, but when we’re talking about contemporary design, it’s always evolving.
Modern design first rose to significance in the mid-20th century.
In modern design, the furnishings have clean lines, and the surfaces are smooth and sleek. The décor is minimal, and if you are going to accessorize, it’s typically through art. For example, a bold piece of art might hang in an otherwise neutral room.
3. Contemporary
Contemporary design style is a term that can refer to anything that’s current. As a result, this design style is very fluid, and it‘s always changing and evolving.
Typically, in contemporary design, the spaces are simple and sleek. The rooms are light, and airy and usually have neutral color palettes.
4. Mid-Century Modern
Mid-century interiors came from post-war America in the 1950s and 60s. The design industry was moving beyond the traditional at this time and forging ahead into a new modern era. The design style remains popular today.
Mid-century modern design focuses on flow and the use of rich natural woods like teak and walnut.
Color palettes include greens and yellows in many cases.
There’s also seamlessness between indoor and outdoor living in the mid-century modern design we see today.
5. Modern Farmhouse
Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper fame might be the person to credit with the massive popularity of the modern farmhouse style right now. Modern farmhouse style takes traditional farm style and mixes it with modern, unexpected elements.
There’s often a focus on using mixed metals, raw wood elements, and greenery. The color palettes are usually neutral, and when color is introduced, it’s often inspired by nature. For example, you might see shades of navy or sage green in modern farmhouse designs.
6. Scandinavian
Finally, the Scandinavian design is airy, organic, and light. The wood tones are ashy, the spaces are relaxed and inviting, and fairly minimal.
You feel cozy in a Scandinavian space, which is one of the things that can set it apart a bit from other modern or minimalist design concepts.
The walls are often white, and the textiles and inviting.
There’s also the Danish concept of hygge that’s important. That includes layered fabrics, clean lines, and, again, wonderful textures.

ANON sent / would byleth wear sothis's outfit in "canon" ever?
Tumblr media
         ||. N n n n n n a h h h h. That’s a level of sacrilege I don’t think Byleth is comfortable with. Sothis is the Goddess, yes, but Sothis was also her friend. Arguably, her oldest friend, all things considered. Furthermore, Sothis is family on many levels. Byleth may have inherited Sothis’ mantle in their fusion, but she’s not out to take Sothis’ place. If that makes sense. Even if it’s something like wearing the same clothes.
          . . . Though , speaking of clothes >:D (puts on character design hat)
          Fem!Byleth’s outfit is interesting - both the normal one and the Enlightened One outfit - because it‘s pretty clear in the character design that Byleth . . . instinctively does go after elements of Sothis’ clothing aesthetic. Her medallion has the same bird/wing and heart symbol as is on Sothis’ crown, the shade of pink echoes Sothis’ ribbons,  the fact that she even has the medallion with a tassel on it at all. Heck, even the infamous Tummy Window ; her white collar.         And then with the EO outfit , she takes up even more of Sothis’ aesthetic (tiara, flower prints, purple being a main color, lots of gold) and mixes it with Rhea’s aesthetic to be a sort of . . . perfect middle man.
       She gravitates towards a similar clothing aesthetic and I do think she’d continue to choose clothes that are . . . very reminiscent of Sothis, and probably Nabatean culture as a whole. But I don’t think she’d do wholly on purpose outside of as a show of respect, reverence, and acknowledgement of their soul bind.

it‘s not just modern fashion , it‘s modern everything … so dull and clean and uninspired! no clutter, no details, no mess. everything has to be instagrammable, every room looks the fucking same
Its SO ugly. Like there is not one good trend.
I want wooden panels. I want velvet and silk and satin and suede and TEXTURE!!!!!!!! I want COLOR. rich color not like Flat.
You guys know how flat colors are like…. That ugly ass shade of brick orange/salmon. Extremely muted yellow. Dusty rose is cuteee sometimes but like. Not when its barely there. That HORRIBLE green. OLIVE GREEN DOES NOTNLOOK GOOD ON MOST PEOPLE. 50 shades of beige.

❣️🖍️📱🎨❔🫢 have some in return - OGG
❣️ What’s their favorite Pokéball?
Gameplay-wise, it‘s definitly the Quick Ball! There‘s nothing better but finally being able to catch Pokémon right at the start of a battle, instead of trying to lower its health bar, risking to defeat it or gaining too much damage yourself.
Tumblr media
But the Dream Ball got the best design, don‘t fight me over this ^^
Tumblr media
🖍️ What color would they dye their hair? 
I know I will never do it, but something like this would be the dream:
Tumblr media
📱What does their phone case look like? What about their Lock Screen and Home Screen? 
Made of leather, it‘s blueish-turquoise. Silhouettes of a flock of birds do leave a larger feather, and the quote „Take these broken wings and learn to fly“ is written below it. Describing it like this, it surely sounds cheesy and kitschy, and yes, it actually is! But I still love how well it does protect my phone screen.
For my home screen, it‘s actually this:
Tumblr media
Since the specific manga chapter dropped back in 2020, I couldn‘t bring myself to change it. The page being black and white only, makes it more easy to navigate through the various apps - something I'm very fond of 😅
🎨 What is the exact shade of their favorite color?
I can't decide between various shades of Ruby Red! They're all so beautiful! ><
Tumblr media
❔Give us a random fun fact! 
I‘ve got a condition I lovingly call my „Nintendo Thumb“! I can bend my left (and only my left) thumb like this:
Tumblr media
(please don't mind the very quick and very ugly artistic rendition🙃)
It doesn‘t hurt at all, and it‘s caused by me having issues with my ligaments – still, I like to argue I got this by playing too much with my Gameboy and Nintendo systems when being young
🫢 Give us a fun fact about someone they know! 
Huh, that‘s hard… but I gonna settle low and say I know someone with the same „Nintendo Thumb“ as me, also on their left hand.
Thank you a lot for asking, @calamitaswrath!

Soft
Hi, i was sad all day so i wrote this to cheer myself up lmao, please enjoy people :) This is really soft lol, don‘t expect hardcore shit
Warning: 18+
Right, lets go
---
It‘s been about two weeks since you and Remus have had a moment for yourselves. Everytime you decided to make time for each other something came up or he wasn‘t feeling well because of the moon. Both of you were angry and stressed and moody, because you wanted each other so bad, but the universe just seemed to be against the idea.
„I don‘t want to fight with you right now!“, Remus let out, voice loud, proving that he in fact did want to fight.
„Why are you yelling then?“ Your tone matched his, your mood quickly turning sour.
„I‘m not bloody yellin, you‘re jus‘ being a sensitive wuss. Fuckin‘ hell.“ He whispered the last part as fingers pressed against his closed eyes. He had fucked up.
Your jaw dropped, a disbelieving laugh escaping you. „A wuss!? You must be bloody joking right now! You utter ass, Remus Lupin!“
He groaned with annoyance, aggressively packing his bag as he made his way out of the common room. Stopping midway he turned around sharply and said in an overly cheery voice, „Whenever you decide to stop being a snotty brat, come find me!“ Bowing he gave you a mocking smile, not staying long enough to witness you giving him the finger. He did have an idea what you did though, hearing the others gasp as they watched the whole ordeal.
„What a prat“, Mary said, plopping down on your side as Lily took your other.
Lily rubbed your arm soothingly. „Hey, don‘t worry. Every couple fights and with the amount of stress weighting on us it was bound to happen...“
You let out a breath and leaned back against the couch. „I know he didn‘t mean it, but god-“ Your voice cut off, choking slightly as you tried to calm yourself. „I miss him and he‘s acting like I‘m being clingy. We haven‘t kissed in three days!“
Mary let out a sympathetic sigh, taking your hand. „I‘m sorry, I know it sucks. But I‘m sure that he misses you just as much. This is Remus we‘re talking about, the bloke never shows his emotions.“
„I agree“, Lily joined in, „besides James has been telling me that Remus has been shitty to them as well. It‘s not your fault, he just doesn‘t cope in a healthy way.“
Now you felt bad for riling him up. Remus must have been feeling really down lately for him to react like he did minutes ago. Of course he misses you goddamn it, the boy can‘t sleep through a single night if your aren‘t there.
„Merlin girls I feel so bad now. I need to make it alright again. I never even asked him how he‘s feeling..“
Mary smirked suddenly, giving you a pointed glance. „I mean...You did say that you needed some alone time..“
You smirked back, albeit blushing a little, and told her to continue.
„There is this muggle clothing brand Lily told me about...“
„Victorias Secret“ Lily offered, now smiling as well.
„Exactly! We should check it out. Besides our dorm will be empty tonight, we‘re planning to sneak out and stay with the girls from Ravenclaw.“
„I love where this is going“, you beamed, „Let‘s get going, I need sexy lingerie.“
---
The girls were bickering about what color suited your skin best, when you zoned put a little, remembering a conversation you had with Remus before youe started dating.
„I really like your sweater. Where‘d you get it?“
You smiled at Remus, thanking him. „Got it from a second hand shop in London. I just couldn‘t resist the color.“
Remus smiled back. „Yeah, emerald green is my favorite color. I‘d kill to have something in that color“, he joked.
You giggled, giving him a shy smile. „Well, maybe you will.“
Beaming you swirled around, grabbing their shoulders to get their attention. With a handful of underwear in their hands they turned around, raising their brows simultaneously.
„Girls, I remember his favorite color! It‘s emerald!“
It took you another hour to finally find the shade of emerald you were looking for and when you did you squealed with joy.
„It‘s perfect!“, you gasped. „Oh my god, he‘s going to love it! It looks just like my sweater!“
The girls grinned at your happiness, immediately pushing you towards the cash desk.
God, Remus is gonna love it.
---
You let out a breath, finally sitting down.
Lily emerged from the bathroom. „Alright, lets check. Bed clean?“
„Check.“
„Shower and lotion?“
„Check.“
„Washed the underwear?“
„Check.“
„Good. That should be all then. Mary and I are leaving now, if you want any snacks there are some in my trunk. Just take whatever.“
You hugged them gratefully. „Thank you girls, I love you.“
„We love you too. Have fun!“
Mary peaked her head through and laughingly let out a „Don‘t break the bed like last time!“ before Lily pulled her away.
You fondly shook your head and glanced at your bed where the pieces were laid out. It was a beautiful emerald lacy set, with a bra and panties with attached garter belts. James and Sirius had promised to send Remus up, so now it was time to wait. Putting the underwear on you lit some candles, fluffing your bed. Just as you slipped one of Remus‘ old shirts over your head the door opened, revealing your boyfriend. He shuffled inside, simply dressed in a pair of grey sweatpants and a black sweater, closing the door. Neither of you said anything for a few seconds, stranglely nervous.
„I‘m sorry-“
„I shouldn‘t have-“
You cut each other off trying to speak at the same time. You flushed as Remus chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck.
Remus finally walked towards you to pull you in, his hands gripping your waist tight. You put your face in his neck to breathe in his familiar scent. Books and chocolate and safe and warm. He smelled like eveything you love.
„I‘m sorry I never asked how you‘re doing. You never let it show and I forgot that even if you‘re my rock, you‘re human. You have the right to be overwhelmed Remus...“
He pressed a kiss on your crown, muttering in a soft tone. „I know, I‘m working on the communication part. I‘m sorry too, love.“
You pulled back, your chin resting ln his chest amd you gave him a coy smile. He raised his brow, smirking.
„I have something for you“, you drawled, pushing him on your bed to stand between his legs, „but you need to unpack it.“
Remus tilted his head to look at you, his gaze questioning.
„Take my shirt off.“
His lips parted and you could see the anticipation in his eyes. Slowly he glided his hands up your bare legs to grip the shirt, holding your intense gaze he pulled it up, groaning softly when he saw the garter belt peaking out. You let him pull the material over your head, your hair falling onto your shoulders.
He let out a breathless laugh.
„You look stunning.“
A kiss on your sternum.
„The most beautiful person in the world.“
A kiss on your belly.
„So fucking perfect.“
A kiss on the hem of your panties. Another on your hipbones. The last ones on the tops of your thighs.
You tugged at his hair to make him look at you. Bending down at the knees you kissed his mouth. He looked up at you with pure adoration, as if he was looking at a goddess.
„Remus“, you called his name softly, „Will you let me fuck you tonighg?“
He closed his eyes groaning. „Anything“, he breathed.
You smiled softly. „Take of your clothes and lay on the bed.“
He complied immediately, taking his clothes off and rested on the bed. You straddled his waist, his hands coming up to rest on your thighs, his fingers playing with the garter belts. Remus is usually very dominant in bed, throwing you around and making you take him. But in times like this, where he lets you take the wheel, you know that you have to treat him very gently.
You leaned down, brushing your lips against his. He parted his mouth with a single breath and you connected your lips. Moaning, his arms snaked around your waist to pull you closer and he kissed you deeper. Your tongue licked at his bottom lip and he opened his mouth to let you in. Dominating the kiss, you bit his lip teasingly.
„Love, please I need you.“
You shushed him, kissing his jaw and chin, sucking on his neck. Your lips brushed against his chest, lips locking around his nipples, licking and bruising them. Moving further down his body, you sucked at his hipbones, your nose brushing against his happy trail. He bucked his hips moaning your name.
You wrapped your lips around the tip and massaged him with your tongue, tasting the precum. You hummed softly and he hissed, hands stroking your hair and he parted his legs a little. Your hand tugged on his heavy balls, your mouth taking him deeper.
„Fuck baby, yes!“
You sucked hard and he whimpered, hand tightening in your hair. Your tongue played with the vein on the side of his cock, making him twitch inside of your mouth.
„If you ah don‘t stop-“
He choked on his words and you pulled off, wanting him inside of you when he came.
„How do you want me?“, you whispered softly as you moved to take off your panties.
„On your back, wanna see your face...“
You laid down and he sat there for a second, admiring your beauty. The way your hair sprawled around you, the swell of your breasts in the emerald bra, your soft skin and parted lips.
He placed himself between your legs, hands on either side of your face. Remus‘ cock brushed against your slit, slowly sliding in and you let out a breath against his lips.
He groaned, holding your gaze and pushed inside, a vulnerable glint in his usually guarded eyes. You pulled him closer, his chest brushing yours and looped your legs around the back of his hamstrings. He was going in deep and slow strokes, just wanting to feel close to you. Hitting the spot inside of you, you let out a broken whine, pushing youe hips up to meet his thrusts. He went faster, still a tender look in his eyes and his other hand rubbed your clit.
You gasped at the contact and whimpered. Tightening around him, you mewled „Remus m‘gonna cum-“
„Cum love, fuck“
You came at the same time, looking at each other lovingly as he kissed you. His hot seed spilled deep inside of you and you smiled breathless.
„I love you so much“, Remus whispered, kissing all over your face.
„I love you too.“

“If you do not comply,” Starscream warns the girl, “I can do quite a number of things that will make you talk.”
He leans forward, activating the prod and pointing dangerously close to her body. The electric sparks emanating from it are almost as terrifying as his sinister smile - like he’s experienced with torture. Like he craves it.
“Number one,” he purrs, “I will t-“
“Wait! Stop! L-Listen—“ She takes in a shaky breath, trying to keep herself from hyperventilating— “Listen! Listen. Listen. Okay - listen-“
“I am listening,” Starscream snaps impatiently. “What.”
“Okay. Okay. Listen, I don’t do well under - I don’t do - I don’t do torture, okay? I’m gonna - I’m gonna stop you at number one.” She swallows roughly. Her arms ache in protest as she struggles against the chains. “Fuck, I’m not - I’m n-not, I’m - I-I’m absolutely not gonna make it to number two.”
Starscream‘s eyebrows knit against his nasal chevron.
“I’m - I don’t have a high pain tolerance.” The human shakes her head rapidly. “I stub my toe, and that - you - you know what, then that’s it for me, that’s - I’m done for the fucking day.”
“I... see.” The jetformer lowers his weapon, disregarding the fact he doesn’t know what stubbing a toe could possibly mean. Probably something stupid.
He normally never has such an easy time when it comes to interrogation, and was honestly looking forward to hearing her tortured screams, but a commander always keeps his word.
“Organic vermin are utterly pathetic,” he scoffs. He raises his free servo and places a claw under her chin, lifting her head and forcing her to look him in the eye.
It could be just the lighting - she hopes it‘s just the lighting - but she swears she can see bits of blue staining his claws. She might be new to this, but... isn’t that particular shade of blue... the color of robot blood?! 
With his optics running over her form like that, she’s too painfully aware that this enemy could skewer her within seconds. If only Bumblebee were here to save her!
“Keri...” he says slowly, voice dark and guttural, as if tasting the designation for the first time and seeing if the word is a name worth savoring, “is it?”
His voice suits him: dangerous, sharp. Deadly but beautiful, as if one were gently draping a blanket of silk over harsh glasspaper. There’s almost a certain curve to it, especially grasped onto the edges - it lures you in - snaps you like a bite.
“Um - mhm.” She nods. “You’re - you said your name was Star— oh, fuck. Star - Starlight?”
Oh. 
The Seeker’s optics widen. That’s a new one. 
He quickly recovers, replacing his astonished expression with a horrible scowl.
“Scream,” he corrects sharply.
“I’m trying not to!” She whimpers.

House Arrest [Reader X Loki] Chapter 10
Summary: You are Clint’s 'little' sister and actually a trained Shield agent. But you gave that up a few years ago and became a Chef, because you wanted a normal live. Then one day Natasha shows up at your door and takes you to the Avenger Tower for a while for security reasons.
Tags: Reader is an former Shield Agent, chef!reader, Reader Barton, 2012 Avenger vibes, everything is still alright, Slice of Life, Avengers Family, Loki has a good heart, still the god of mischief, Slow Burn, mention of food and cooking
Read it on AO3
Chapter 10: It‘s not as it seems
You have a shopping basket on your arm and a credit card from Tony in your pocket as you enter the farmers market. The card’s with a limit, of course. But it's high enough that you can probably buy half of the market.
Some time has passed since the vandalizing of your apartment in Philadelphia and nothing weird has happened since then. Therefore, you’re allowed, with restrictions, to leave the tower again.
It's a wonderful feeling not to have to sneak out of the house like the previous times, but to take the front entrance like a normal person. Today you can take your time shopping. And anything that doesn't fit in your basket, you can have delivered to the tower.
You wrote a shopping list and bought vegetables and some flowers for the table first. By now you know some of the vendors and which of them sell good quality.
You are just about to decide whether you should get a colorful variety of potatoes for a change, when Clint appears at your side. In his hand he holds a coffee.
"Red or blue?", you ask him with a potato in each hand.
"Are you offering me a pill and then trying to show me the matrix?"
"Do these look like pills you can comfortably swallow?"
Your brother eyes the two potatoes, each the size of a hand. "That one”, he then says, pointing to the blue one, which is actually more of a purple shade.
Happy with his decision , you nod and let the vendor pack you a couple of kilos of them. They would be delivered.
"How was your meeting?", you ask Clint in the meantime.
It's the reason he didn't leave the tower with you for the trip, but is just joining you now.
"I'm flying to Alaska with Nat tomorrow morning. Scouting out possible secret underground bunkers."
"Sounds like fun."
"Maybe I'll bring you back a souvenir. A postcard or a rock", your brother playfully muses.
Grinning, you shake your head.
"Thanks, I'm fine with you bringing your face back home unscathed." You take a look at your shopping list. "All I need is fish and I'm done here”, you inform him.
Together, you head to the back of the hall where the refrigerated goods are sold. It's mostly day-fresh and displaced on ice. You go with halibut and red fish and have those delivered to the tower as well.
Afterward, you two stroll back to the tower, taking a slight detour at a bakery where you pick up breakfast.
"This is really good", you note as you bite into your chocolate croissant a second time. "I'll have to remember the shop." You look at Clint, but see his tense expression. "What's up?"
"We're being followed."
You resist the urge to look around conspicuously.
"You sure?", you ask, to which he nods.
"Pretty much."
That's reason enough for you to take him seriously.
You continue walking as if nothing is wrong, but after a while you turn into a bigger street and try to blend into the crowd. Then Clint pulls you into a coffee shop, peering out the window.
He points to two men in dark jackets and baseball caps who walk by. Their appearance screams rather conspicuous inconspicuousness.
They don't seem to have noticed that you've entered the building. So you wait until they've passed and then a little longer before leaving the store. You turn in the opposite direction and via some detours you return to the Avengers tower.
The following emergency meeting there takes place in the dining room, where some of the others have their breakfast and tell them about the incident.
"None of this makes any sense", you sigh, as you're really at your wit's end. "What do they want from me? I don't have superpowers, and I'm not working on any secret projects!"
"We're wondering the same thing”, Hill, who had also been called in, replies with her arms crossed. She had the same questions for you as last time, but you have no new answers for her.
"This is getting us nowhere“, Clint interjects at one point to break up the interrogation.
"If she's not safe here, why don't we take her to Asgard?"
It is Loki who makes this suggestion and everyone turns to him in surprise. Whether it's because of the idea itself or because they weren't used to seeing him act in the group, it’s hard to tell.
"She would be safe there", Thor considers. "But she can’t go alone. Father would not allow it. And I can't stay there that long."
He looks at his brother, who returns the look.
"What? Do you think father would rather see me?"
Thor is about to say something when Tony's attention is drawn.
"What are you up to?", he asks the younger of the two princes. He’s giving him a sharp look, which in turn annoys you.
"Why do you always think he’s up to something?"
"Because it's just his nature. You know what he did."
Now you’re really getting angry.
"Oh, I think I know him better than you do by now! He's not the scapegoat for everything."
"We didn’t say that .." interjects Clint, trying to calm you down, but you interrupt him.
"Then don't treat him like that."
"...But you can't deny that you're biased in your opinion”, he finished his sentence.
You give him a sour look.
"I’m having enough.” You turn toward the door. "I'm leaving!" With that, you slam the door behind you.
Everyone looks after you, surprised by this outburst. A brief pause occurs, then Clint and Loki take simultaneously a step toward the door to follow you. They stop and look at each other.
"I don't know about your intentions or plans with my sister, but I swear: if I find out you have your hands in this and are just using her for your own purposes, I don't care if you have immunity on earth. My next arrow will have your name on it", Clint hisses, but it takes more to impress Loki.
"Very pathetic, archer. I’ll still talk to her first anyway.”
Meanwhile, you've arrived in your room in a huff and thrown a travel bag on your bed to pack your things. Golden light crackles in the air as Loki materializes next to you.
"You should not rush things", he advises, but you don't want to hear about it.
"If you don’t have anything else to say, then please leave me alone. I'm not in the mood."
"Is that why you want to leave me here alone?"
You turn to your closet and take out some clothes, throwing them into your bag. "Actually, I thought out of everyone you'd understand me best."
Loki steps to your side. "What if you and I go to Asgard?", he suggests.
You sigh and look at him. "At any other time, there would be nothing I would rather do. But right now, I need to be alone for a while and clear my head." You want to take his hand, but reach through the illusion he just is. It disappears with your motion. "Oh…"
So you pack a few last things, close your travel bag, and then turn to leave. As you open your door, Loki is just coming down the hall to you. This time the real one, as you convince yourself with a quick touch.
"Stay", he asks you again.
"No."
You shake your head, but he grabs you by the wrist. "I don’t allow you to leave!"
"I'm not one of your Asgardian citizens you can order around."
Dumbfounded, you look at him, barely recognizing his behavior. You feel like you're going to be sick and your next words are sharper.
"Let.me.go.”
You remember what Tony just said a few moments ago and suddenly something strikes you. Something rather obvious, but you don't want to believe it.
"This was you?"
"I don't know what-…"
"Every time my bags were packed, something happened that made me stay here. My apartment was vandalized, I was being followed...but nothing concrete could ever be found. Just cryptic signs were left behind. You once told me that you had contacts on Earth. Even though you can't leave the building yourself... Oh God, it all adds up! Are you trying to keep me here because you're not allowed to leave?"
Stunned, you put it all together and look at him, hoping he would deny it, telling you that you've become paranoid. Alone, he didn't. He remained silent. You still couldn't interpret his face, but his silence was enough for you.
You tear yourself away from him.
"And I foolishly trusted you and fell in love with you."
Shaking your head, you turn and leave, fighting back the tears that well up in your eyes. Loki follows you a few steps, but before he can even say anything, you make a dismissive gesture.
You're done with him for the day.
You take the elevator to the underground garage, where, surprisingly, Natasha is waiting for you, ready to drive you home. You don't ask what she knows, but you wouldn't be surprised if Jarvis has passed on what just happened.

“WANDA, NO!” Bucky cried out.
Wanda proceeded with making sigils and ruins on the ground, deflecting any bullets coming her way. She was crying now, a guiltily look washed over her face. “They were just kids- my kids, and I killed-“ a new wave of tears choked her off and she stopped momentarily.
”Wanda, please, you-“ Sam tried.
”NO.” she yelled, finally standing up. Her eyes were glowing a deep scarlet. “My children need help. And I will always give them what they need.”
The ground began shaking as Wanda did some complicated hand movements towards the magical circle of squiggles.
”WAIT, STOP, WANDA-“ Bucky threw his gun to the ground and lunged for her, just to have a red burst of magic throw him across town square.
”It will all be over soon.” She gave them one last look before her eyes lingered on Bucky, “The pain won’t last.”
Sam and Bucky glanced at each other before the world turned red.
—————————
Music.
There was… music playing.
It was familiar, something from the forties, but he couldn’t place the name.
’Haven‘t felt like this my dear,’
Bucky felt himself frown in the darkness.
’Since can’t remember when,’
Everything finally came into focuse, but Bucky blinked a few times when there were no colors surrounding him, just black and white, and shades of grey in place of what would be colorful.
”Ah, you‘re home.”
Oh, Bucky missed that voice.
Bucky turned around and Steve stared right back at him.
’It‘s been a long, long time...’
