A brand-new land (4)

No man’s land masterlist

“Bucky?” You ask while keeping an eye on the alpha chained to the ground. “You know that man? How?”

“He’s…” Steve doesn’t know how to explain to you how much the man chained to the ground means to him. “I guess you know him as the Winter Soldier. But before all that, he was my best friend. James Buchanan Barnes.”

“Oh—OH! Sorry, I didn’t remember the name,” you crouch down to get a better look at Bucky. “I think I read an article about him some years back.”

“Buck, what happened,” Steve crouches down next to you, to make sure that Bucky doesn’t see him as a threat. “Can you hear me, my friend? It’s me, Steve.”

Bucky lifts his head. He sniffs in your direction and purrs low in his throat. His eyes glow scenting an omega after what feels like ages.

“Omega,” he growls. “OMEGA!”

“Y/N, maybe you should leave. I don’t think your presence will help—” Steve huffs when you slowly crawl toward his friend. “Y/N! What did I just say?”

“Your presence won’t help him,” you shush Steve. He’s a possessive and jealous alpha and doesn’t want to share you with his friend but this can’t be helped.

“Y/N…omega…” Steve licks his lips. “Be careful. He won’t remember that he used to belong to my pack and that he's my best friend.”

“Well, I’ll make him part of my pack then,” you scoot closer to Bucky. “I won’t hurt you.” You softly speak to the alpha who flinches when you lift your hand. “Hi there.”

“Omega,” Bucky snarls.

“Look at you,” you coo and carefully run your hand over his metal arm. “A strong and wild alpha right in front of me.”

Bucky tilts his head.

“What’s your name,” you move even closer, earning a snarl from Steve. “I’m Y/N, and you know the grumpy alpha watching us. It’s Stevie, your friend.”

“Stevie,” Bucky repeats. “Omega.”

“We won’t hurt you, Bucky,” you sit next to him to inhale his scent deeply. Just like Steve before, Bucky’s scent makes your toes curl, and you purr low in your throat.

“Fuck,” Steve curses loudly watching your reaction when you catch his friend’s scent. “Y/N, be careful.” He says again, afraid you will turn your back on him.

“What does a pretty alpha like you do in this cell?” You move closer again to run both of your hands over Bucky’s chest and up to his neck. “Don’t you want to join my pack?” You lean closer to whisper in his ear. “I wouldn’t mind having two alphas.”

Steve grits his teeth. He puffs his chest and snarls in your direction.

“Y/N.”

“Shush, Steve. He’s slowly relaxing,” you stop Steve from dragging you out of the room to show everyone he laid claim on you. He may be an alpha, but you have been the leader of a pack for longer than him.

Bucky allows you to touch his chest, he hums and watches you run your hands over his body.

“What are you doing?” Steve asks. “You’re my omega.”

“I think you got something wrong,” you look over your shoulder to size Steve up. “You’re part of my pack. My alpha. This doesn’t mean my pack cannot grow. Bucky needs a pack, and I’m the one in charge.”

Steve crosses his arms over his chest. He looks away and sniffs.

“Are you pouting?” you smirk at Steve. “Aw, you’re still my favorite alpha, okay. Why don't you come over here and allow Bucky to scent you too? Move slowly and lower your head. We don’t want him to lash out.”

“Captain Rogers, I don’t think this is a good idea. I needed months before he stopped snapping at me. He’s still a feral alpha. Your friend or not.”

“We need any help to rebuild this world or set your plan into motion. If we want to fix the mess our world is, we will need this alpha,” you snarl in Strange’s direction. You still don’t trust him. Maybe it’s because of his powers or the fact that you can’t scent him.

“Buck, it’s me,” Steve follows your order. He slowly moves toward you and his friend, head bowed to not scare or anger his friend. “Steve. You remember me, right? We are friends. No. We are family.”

Bucky breathes heavily. He grits his teeth and starts fighting the magic chains holding him in place. The alpha growls loudly and tugs at the restraints.

“OMEGA!” He gets impatient because you stopped touching him. “MINE!”

“She’s mine, Buck,” Steve growls, making you flinch. Great. That’s the last thing you need. A feral alpha versus Captain America. “MINE!”

“Miss,” Stranges claps his hands. You are suddenly outside the room, and the door is back in its place. “You need to stay away from them. They haven’t seen an omega in years. Your scent is driving them up the wall, and they will kill each other if you remain inside the room.”

“Dr. Strange,” you sigh and place your hand on his shoulder. “I know you had a hard time protecting this place and finding a way to undo the events leading up to this point. But I was the leader of a pack for longer than five minutes. Alphas and Omegas followed my lead. So, leave this to me.”

“They will hurt you or worse,” worry flashes in his eyes when he looks at you. “What if they team up to mate you? What if I can’t save you?”

You chuckle. “Doc, that wouldn’t be the worst way to go down.” You grab his hand, squeezing it tightly. "If this goes awry, I have a diary in my backpack. I noted the location of the survivors I met. Maybe it helps.”

“Y/N don’t do this,” he tries to stop you, but you touch the door, and it disappears. “If you need me, just think my name.”

You nod and step inside the room, immediately catching both alphas' attention. They look your way, eyes glued to you as their chests heave up and down.

“We need to talk this out, guys,” you look over your shoulder at Strange. “Release him. If he attacks us, I’ll scream, and you can get us out like you did with me before.”

Strange nods and claps his hands. The door reappears, and the chains holding Bucky to the ground disappear. The alpha cocks his head. He looks at you, purring low in his throat.

You expect him to pounce on you and scent you, but he sits back on his heels, just watching you and Steve for a moment. He tilts his head, eyes zeroing in on Steve.

“St-“ you shriek when Bucky pounces on Steve, not you. You’re ready to help Steve but the feral alpha sniffs at Steve’s neck, growling low in his throat. “Steve.”

“Buck,” Steve tries not to give in to his instinct and pushes the alpha off him. He lies stiffly under his friend, allowing the alpha to scent him. “How have you been?”

 “Guys, that’s not what I had in mind,” you chuckle nervously. “Is there something I should know? How close are you and Bucky?”

“We are friends. No – after all we’ve been through together, we are brothers,” Steve looks up at Bucky, a content smile on his lips. “He used to protect me when I was still the sick and small boy from Brooklyn.”

Bucky considers Steve’s words. He looks at you, eyes darkening as his eyes land on your marred mating gland. “OURS?” He asks, eyes searching Steve’s.

“Ours,” Steve confirms without missing a beat. “Only ours…”

roman politics is a political arena and crassus punching another politician and drawing blood is both narratively satisfying and more importantly, sexy

#i'd fuck that old man but he managed to dodge the vestal virgin accusations so i'll settle for (loud cash register noise) #anyway. antony showing up to the senate so hung over he pukes is also landing the circus theme tbqh #moving on: if this made it into the main body of the bio i would include it in the crassus comic without hesitation #as it stands i will probably forget this happened because it's the first part of this comparison that i spend a lot more time thinking abou #the fucking. roman economy. (head in hands) #defending crassus from the greed accusations is a full time job and i am NOT clocking in 9-5 for it

One day tumblr may learn that blockbuster movies arent activism and are in fact just movies.

Apparently that day is not today

#i also guarantee that the people acting like christopher nolan personally stole new mexican land for his atom bomb mocie #havent seen the movie #i have now though and like. where was it supposed to go #it was already 3 hours long and so densely packed that if you looked away for 5 seconds youd be lost #also im gonna be honest #i find it very sus that its only happening now #like i feel like if folks actually cared about the trinity test issues it wouldnt be so they could hate on the Latest Big Blockbuster for #clout points online #please for gods sake learn that watching movies isnt activism and its just a movie man. its just a movie. its not birth of a nation #some thoughts

On the website for my county government for some reason and all five of our county commissioners look like supervillains. Like. It looks like someone travelled across the multiverse to pluck five supervillains from five different genres and got them all together to govern my county for some reason.

#if I were smarter or more creative I could come up with a premise for each of them #we have (1) the evil nerdy tech guy. I keep thinking of the villain from despicable me #then there's (2) doug dimmadome looking motherfucker #who looks like he makes a habit of kicking poor hardworking families off the land that they've been farming for generations #(3) is...... the MOST business major man I have ever seen in my life (derogatory) and taking a look at his bio I am right #he is a villain in a movie about a union and he ends up killing someone with factory machinery or something #(4) is hard to get a read on. maybe like a military movie where he's a celebrated high ranking official #but ends up betraying his men #(5) runs rigged boxing matches or something. mob boss esque. #(3) is literally looking down his nose at me I have never seen a more smarmy and punchable face #oh my god the tech nerd is catholic and writes alternate history novels

mayrina is STILL pregnant in act 3????? you're telling me we've done ALL this shit in barely any time at all? wasn't she close to having her child in act 1? there's no way we breezed through act 1 and 2 that fast. I could believe the whole game taking place over 9 months. but if mayrina's still not given birth between acts 1 and 3....that would suggest it's only been a month at most, right? which just. makes No sense to me.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #plot hole??? it has to be. there's no way this game doesn't take place over at least. idk 5 months. #there's just FAR too much that happens! and they have to travel most of the land by foot! #the timeline is definitely something that's had MY interest because corydalis has children back in baldur's gate. #they aren't alone obv. #but like. those are his kids man! they are worried about him and he's worried about them! #I mean. they would figure out their dad is alive Before he makes it back to baldur's gate because NONE of them trust gortash. #like if gortash was approaching powerful people BEFORE the abduction happened- it would make sense for corydalis to have been approached #and obviously he would tell gortash off. which provides a really easy explanation for HIS abduction. #so I think the kids would put things together real fast with how gortash seizes power after a bunch of powerful people have gone missing. #and they would meddle. they would 100% meddle. much to corydalis' despair. #like I think that a reunion would take place at wyrm's crossing before or after the coronation. #interesting to imagine how that whole scenario would make everyone else feel. hm. #but like. all this makes me wonder where the timeline of gortash seizing power even fits. because surely that didn't also happen in a month
