oh baby!
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x fem! Reader. 
Summary: Reader found some pictures of bucky as a baby and ends up more in love than she already was. 
Before reading: English is not my first language so sorry for the spelling mistakes, Everything that is written here is with the help of the translator.
You was sitting on the couch using her phone when Steve walked in with a box in his arms. 
"Hey, Tony wanted to trash this old stuff, you want to take a look before you throw it all away?"
Steve smiles dropping the box on the table in front of her before giving her a smile and walking away. He nods again and says goodbye, you smile back at him before nodding as well,you put your phone aside and start going through the box, you open it inspecting what was inside before picking up a notebook, its cover had a red color with gold engraved letters almost blurring, You blow a little to disperse the dust and your fingers caress the golden letters and then you open the notebook after several pages looking for something interesting, you smile when you see several pictures among them some babies and what seemed to be Howard Stark with Steve and Bucky. 
With still a smile on your lips, you get up from the couch close the box and walk straight to the room you share with your boyfriend, without waiting for permission you enter the room in search of your beloved. 
"Bucky?"
You sit on the bed as you wait for him to come out of the bathroom, Bucky heard you and quickly came out to see what you needed. 
"Yes, doll?"
He smiles at you before walking over to you, you see him sit down next to you and take your hands.
 "Were you crying?"
he sits down next to you as he takes your hands and looks at your worried face. 
You let out a chuckle as he shakes his head. 
 "There's nothing wrong with me, just.... Look." 
You take the pictures next to you before showing them to him, Bucky smiles before taking the pictures in his hand and kisses your hundred.
"Where did you find them?" 
He raises an eyebrow as he continues to look at the pictures, he thought he had no memory of when he was a baby anymore.
"Steve handed me a box and I found them while going through them."
You shrug sheepishly, bucky laughs and pushes you onto the bed still holding the picture in his hand. 
 "doll, were you crying about that?"
You laugh and then deny as you stroke his hair falling over your face. 
 "No, it's just that you were SO CUTE as a baby!!! And even now, babe!" 
You let out a giggle and push him off turning him around, now you're on top of him taking over. 
 "you're so cute I cry, babe."
You say with a smile, bucky leans over to kiss you sweetly.
"that's not true, you are so cute and cuddly I can cry about it".

TRUTH HURTS
Summary: Your girlfriend finds out your secret.
A/N: I was listening to Lizzo when I wrote this lol. And I didn't revise this at all, so if there are mistakes, sorry!
Warnings: Reader and Jenna being too cute at the end. But actually, I can't think of anything.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I just took a DNA test turns out I'm 100% that bitch! Even when I'm crying crazy." You sing on top of a rooftop, your Spider Suit hugging your body. Karen (an artificial intelligence user interface created by and installed in your Spider Suit by Tony Stark) had turned on your swinging playlist that you had created last month. You pause your singing to take a bite of your sandwich you'd gotten from the deli a few blocks down, savoring its sweet and salty flavors.
Being New York's Spider-Man/Woman was absolutely exhausting. Yet, the thrill of it all was worth it. You smiled, content with the knowledge that you were making a difference in the city. You had to balance your heroic tasks with your everyday life, but it was worth it. You felt proud to be able to help people in need and make a difference in the world. You had found your true purpose. Sometimes you'd fear for the people you loved. You didn't want them to get involved in the crime you fought everyday. You kept doing your best to protect them while taking on the criminals. You knew that you were making a change and that's what kept you going.
Jenna, your girlfriend and also an upcoming actor didn't know exactly who you were. She thought you had a normal job, and thought you were just an ordinary person. She had no idea that you were Spider-Man/Woman, risking your own life to save others. You were afraid to tell her the truth, but at the same time you wanted her to know the truth. You decided maybe one day you could tell her hope she would understand.
You freeze your dancing and chewing, seeing a group of thugs walking into an alleyway. You knew you had to act fast, so you shoved the remaining half of your sandwich into your mouth, pulling down your mask. "Karen! Pause my playlist please." You asked the AI assistant installed in your mask. You started running, jumping off the roof and shooting a web out towards the alleyway, determined to protect your neighborhood.
You followed them, keeping a safe distance, and watched as they opened a door in the back of the alleyway. The door revealed a secret hideout with a large stash of weapons. You web yourself to a corner of the hideout, waiting for an opportune moment to act. Suddenly, the door opened and several armed men entered the hideout. You knew you had to act fast and without hesitation. You quickly webbed one of the thugs to the nearest wall. 
"It's Spider-Man/Woman!"
The other thugs were taken by surprise raising their weapons at you. "Now that's no way to treat company!" You say with a smirk under your mask. "I was on my lunch break before this!" You fired a web at the thugs and they were suspended in mid-air, helpless. You quickly zip around the room, disarming each thug and taking their weapons.
You turn to the last one, still suspended in the air, and say "Let that be a lesson to you. Don't mess with me on my lunch break." Before you fire another web, your phone vibrates. You drop to the ground, pulling it out of your tight pocket and read the contact name, which reads "Jenna" Face-Timing you.
Really? Now? When you're fighting criminals? The thug attempts to attack you with a crowbar, but you dodge it easily holding up a finger. "Dude, please? I gotta text my girlfriend."
The thug stops, stunned, and laughs. He throws the crowbar to the side, shaking his head. "Man, you got some serious priorities. Alright, go ahead and text your girl, I'll wait."
 The thug stepped back and crossed his arms. He watched with amusement as you texted away, trying to explain to Jenna you were too busy to Face-Time. After a few moments you put away your phone, turning back to the thug. "Alright, I'm ready." The thug grinned, showing off his broken teeth. He took a step forward and raised his fist. "Let's get this started then," he said.
You took a deep breath and squared your shoulders, preparing for the fight. The thug lunged forward, but you were ready, dodging his attack and counterattacking with a flurry of punches and kicks. In a few short seconds, the thug lay on the ground, defeated.
"Karen could you call this in and call Jenna back for me?" You nicely ask the AI, Karen responded, "Yes, of course. I am calling Jenna now." Karen connected Jenna to a call and the police were dispatched.
You web away from the scene, as Jenna answers and you hear her lovely voice. "Hey, where are you?" You answer, "I'm at home. I just got back from Feast. " Jenna is suspicious but you assure her that you were just busy helping your Aunt. 
She reluctantly believes you, "Oh, okay. Well, I have good news!" You swing low in the streets, dodging cars to entertain yourself. She continues, "I got the role!" You nearly get hit by a car, but move just in time. You yell with joy, "That's great! Congratulations!" Jenna laughs and tells you how excited she is about the new role. You talk to Jenna for a few more minutes, sharing your excitement about her news. "How about I take a shower and come to your place?"
 "Orrrr," She trails off, "I come to your place and we use your vinyl player and celebrate over dinner?" You hesitantly agree. Were you going to make it back home in time to shower, prepare dinner, change, and beat her there? You start swinging off your webs faster, hoping not to run into anything with the speed you're going. You see your apartment building in the distance and you're relieved. You quickly swing inside from your open window. You turn around to close your window, but your heart drops when you hear a gasp behind you.
You spin around to find your girlfriend standing in the doorway, her mouth agape. How did she get here so fast?! You stand there frozen, unsure what to say. She stares at you, her eyes wide and searching for answers. Your heart beats faster as you try to come up with an explanation. You take a deep breath and take off your mask throwing it somewhere in your room as you open your mouth about to speak.
You finally blurt out, "It's not what it looks like!" She looks at you skeptically and you can tell she doesn't believe you. You take a step back, trying to figure out how to convince her otherwise. You open your mouth to explain, but no words come out. You sigh, "Okay, maybe it is what it looks like."
She stares at you, and you take a step closer to her. You reach out to take her hands in yours. She flinches and pulls away, but you continue to hold out your hands, looking into her eyes. She takes them, and you squeeze her hands, letting her know that you understand. "I wanted to tell you."
"Why haven't you?" "I was scared," You say. "I thought you wouldn't believe me, or worse, that you would think I was crazy. And I don't want you to get hurt because of me." She nods, letting go of your hand to run a hand down your cheek. It was a claw scratch from months ago, a battle you had with The Black Cat.
"What happened here? I’m now starting to realize it wasn’t Ms. Browns cat." You take a deep breath and tell her about the fight, and the superhuman strength of the cat, and how you managed to get away. You tell her about the strange feelings you have been having lately, and how you think something strange is going on. She listens quietly, her face a mix of concern and understanding.
"Are we okay?" You ask, your voice barely above whisper. She smiles softly and takes your hand again. "We're okay. I believe you, and I'm not going anywhere," she says, her voice gentle but strong. "We'll figure this out together." She gives your hand a reassuring squeeze. You take a deep breath, the tight knot in your chest loosening a bit. You can do this, with her by your side.
You nod, your eyes meeting hers. She smiles again and brings your hands to her lips, kissing them softly. You feel a warmth rush through your body as you realize that, together, you can take on anything. You pull her into a hug, your hearts beating in time.
You whisper in her ear that you love her and she whispers it back, her breath tickling your neck. Holding each other, you guys are okay. You stay like that for a few minutes, before finally pulling away. You both laugh and she takes your hand in hers, the warmth of her skin instantly grounding you. You walk together towards the future, ready to take on the world.
"So, Black Cat. What's she like?" She grinned, her eyes twinkling with mirth. You playfully roll your eyes at the question, "A real wildcat and a tease." You smiled, "You kind of remind me of her." Jenna looks at you, a brow raised. "I remind you of one of your villains?" You chuckle, "In some ways. But that's why I like her. She keeps me on my toes." Jenna grins and shakes her head, "I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult."
You laugh, glad your girlfriend took everything so well. You didn't know what you would do if you lost her over your secret identity. Jenna puts her arm around you and says, "I'm just glad you're here with me. I love you no matter what." You smile and kiss her forehead, relieved that you could share your secret with her and that she accepted it. 
After you change, shower, and prepare dinner Jenna and you spend the rest of the night talking about your powers and how you got them. You feel a connection to her that you didn't before, because you can now be open and honest with her. You are grateful for her understanding and love.
Jenna steps out of the apartment as her phone rings, and you lay down on the sofa, relieved as you watch TV. You feel like you can finally take a deep breath and enjoy the night's calm.
Outside of your apartment door, Jenna answers her phone. A known voice is on the other end. "Kingpin," Jenna murmurs into her phone, sighing. "Hey Felicia," Jenna grits her teeth together in anger. "That's not my name anymore. I left it behind along with that life." Jenna pauses for a moment, her heart racing as she remembers her old life. She takes a deep breath and continues. "I'm not going back." Kingpin laughs, a mocking sound that grates on Jenna's nerves. "You know I can find you wherever you wander."
"Listen," she says firmly, her voice full of determination. "I'm done with the old me. I'm creating a new life, and I'm not going to let anyone drag me back." She takes a deep breath and straightens her posture, her eyes blazing with determination. "I'm done with crime."
"But is it done with you?" I've seen you on the TV. Trying to convince everyone and yourself that you're a good person." Kingpin replies, on the other side of the phone. "I know what you're trying to do, I can tell. But you can't run away from who you are." Jenna remains silent, not knowing what to say.
He continues, "Or do I have to touch that spider of yours to remind you?" Jenna takes a deep breath, feeling like a million thoughts are running through her head. "You won't get the chance," she says angry. "If you or your goons show your face in New York, you're done with."
He laughs. "I admire your courage, Jenna," he says. "But don't forget who you're dealing with. I'm not some kind of joke." The line clicks, and the call is disconnected. Jenna takes another deep breath, trying to calm down. She knows she's made a powerful enemy, and she's not sure what to do next. She has to be careful, she knows. She can't let her guard down. But she also knows that she has to stay strong and fight for what she believes is right.
Suddenly, the door opens and Jenna comes back, a small smile on her face. "You okay?" You ask, concerned. Jenna nods and smiles, not wanting to worry you. She takes your hand and leads you away, ready to take on whatever comes next.
Jenna jumps at a noise emanating from your bedroom. With your super-hearing you can hear it clearly. "Oh, when you walk by every night. Talking sweet and looking fine, I get kinda hectic inside."
"Sorry," you mumble, embarrassed. "That's Karen playing my swinging playlist." Jenna's face relaxes in relief, and she smiles. You take her hand and lead her to the bedroom. You ask Karen to turn up the music, and you both start dancing to the music coming from your mask. You both laugh as you twirl around the room, forgetting the world outside. As the song ends, you pull Jenna close and kiss her. You both agree that there's no better way to spend your Saturday night.

Hi, I have a request.
So like Pietro and the reader are in a relationship and Pietro is really insecure about him being not able to give reader enough gifts and attention. (Reader is from a wealthy family)
He's scared that Reader could leave him for a wealthier person than him. Reader reassure Pietro that they won't leave him.
Yea, so angsty & fluff.
The reader can be gender neutral, I don't really care.
Thanks, I love how you write
Have a nice day.
anything from you - p.m.
pairing: pietro maximoff x gn! reader
summary: pietro’s unsure whether or not he’s enough
word count: 1662
tw: no!
a/n: this was such a cute idea! i apologize for how short this is, i'm trying to clear out my drafts LOL! this is unedited so if u see any grammar or spelling mistakes lmk!!!! <3
Tumblr media
"I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS," PIETRO'S mouth had fallen agape at the sight of the small box he opened, resting it on his lap. The light flashed off of the glittering silver of the watch inside, it's glass face perfectly clear, so well made that it looked like there was nothing there. "This is... this is very expensive gift."
"You have to accept it," you grinned, shrugging your shoulders. "I saw it and thought you'd like it."
"Yes, and I-- I do, but..." Pietro opened and closed his mouth like a fish. "I have never worn something so expensive before."
"Firsts for everything!" you giggled and gave him a bashful smile. He pursed his lips, melting at the sweetness of your face, and glanced back down at the watch. Your face sunk a bit at his hesitation, and you grabbed the bag that previously held the box. "I can return it, if you don't like it."
"No, I... I love it," Pietro grabbed ahold of your hand, smoothing his thumb over the top of your knuckles before bringing it to his lips and kissing it. "Multumesc, dragă."
---
“AHA!” Pietro mumbled to himself, pulling his hand out from behind the couch cushion of the couch in the Avengers Compound’s foyer, another quarter pinched between his fingers. He was lucky enough to live there and earn a decent wage, but he certainly did not have as much disposable income as say, Tony Stark, or even Y/N L/N. 
“Pietro,” came Wanda’s voice from behind him, her tone slow as though she were confused. He turned his head to see her standing there, arms crossed over her chest, eyebrow raised. “What on earth are you doing?”
“Right now, I am counting,” he said, sitting down and dumping out his pocket, muttering the numbers under his breath. “I have a total of twenty-three dollars and...seventy-three cents. But then once I add the money from my wallet, I’ll have about...”
“What do you need this for?” Wanda sauntered over, sitting across from him and his measly pile of dented dollar bills and dirty coins. Pietro didn’t respond, still counting in his head.
“Sixty-five dollars and eighty-two cents,” Pietro nodded his head, muttering under his breath. “That might be enough...”
“Nice watch,” Wanda complimented. “From Y/N, yes?”
“Yeah,” Pietro muttered, rubbing the band of it with his thumb. “They are very generous.”
“I see.”
“I want to buy them something,” Pietro told his sister. “But... I cannot really afford something very expensive, you know? So maybe something for fifty dollars. Or maybe more, but I... I don’t know.”
“Why don’t you just make them something? Or take them some place nice?”
“I could,” Pietro scratched his chin, dropping his shoulders in exhaustion. “But they’re always buying me things, I feel like I need to return the favor.”
“You don’t owe them anything, though,” Wanda told him gently. “Just because they buy you all these things doesn’t mean you need to buy them things, it just means you need to gift them with other things. Experiences, homemade things... as long as there is love in it, no?”
“I am not wealthy like them,” Pietro sighed. “What if they think I am using them for their money? I need to show them that --”
“They do not think that,” Wanda gave him a gentle look. “They love you, trust me. I was with them when they picked out that watch for you.”
“Yeah, well,” Pietro didn’t have much to say in response to that. “They’d be better off with someone who can afford to take care of them.”
“Don’t talk like that,” Wanda shook her head. “You take care of them just fine.”
“Hmph,” Pietro only shrugged and began to leave the room. “Maybe. But they could do better.”
---
“Wanda?” you said, poking your head into the kitchen. Said woman stood over a steaming pot, stirring the contents with a long wooden spoon. Vision glided into the room, holding onto a container of paprika looking triumphant. 
“Found it!” he said cheerfully. He turned his head and grinned at the sight of you. “Oh, hello, Y/N. Did you want some paprikash?”
“Maybe later, thanks Vision,” you smiled. “Have either of you seen Pietro?”
“Uhm, I’d assume he’d be in his room,” Wanda guessed.
“No, he’s not in there,” you frowned, sitting on one of the bar stools. “I’ve been looking around for him all day. I think he’s avoiding me.”
You knew Wanda and Vision shared a glance, but you were too busy staring down at the ring on your finger to say anything. Pietro had gotten it for you in the early stages of your relationship; you hadn’t the slightest clue where it was from or if the gems were real, but it was beautiful and fit like a glove. That was all that mattered, anyways. You twisted it around on your finger, frowning.
“Did I upset him?” you asked Wanda. “Has he said anything to you?”
Wanda gave a quick, almost unnoticeable glance at Vision. “Erm... he’s not upset at you, no.”
“What is it, then?” you pressed. There was a pregnant pause of silence.
“Look, I think you should talk to him,” Wanda trailed off, her brows slowly raising as she glanced behind you. Vision did nothing, however he was not slick about the way his eyes widened and he mouthed, “Go!”
You whipped your head around, and before you set eyes on Pietro, the blur of his red sweatshirt caught your eye and you knew he had run off. You sighed, running a hand across your scalp. 
“Sorry,” Vision apologized to you, bowing his head. “It’s... it’s your business, you and him.”
“Yes, I know,” you sighed again. “Thanks, I guess.”
“We’ll save some paprikash for you!” Wanda called out to you as you disappeared down the hallway. The lights of Pietro’s room were on, and you could hear the soft sound of a record playing from outside the door. It was Billy Joel’s The Stranger, one of his favorite American records; you had bought it for him, along with Songs in the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John. 
With “Vienna” playing from the old record player, you creaked open the door. Pietro was at his desk, hunched over a piece of paper with a ballpoint pen in his hand. He was humming along softly under his breath, scribbling away and not noticing you. You walked up behind him and put a hand on his arm, bending over to place your chin on his shoulder. He jumped.
“You scared me,” he muttered, hastily folding up the paper and shoving it into a drawer. “Did you knock?”
“No, sorry,” you drew your face away from him, glancing at where he hid the paper. “Did you want me to leave?”
“I--” he hesitated. “No, I don’t.”
“Okay,” you rocked on your toes for a second before crossing the room to sit on the edge of the bed. “You okay? Whatcha doing?”
“Just drawing,” he sighed, putting the pen down and leaning back in his chair. “Bored, I guess.”
“Haven’t seen you all day,” you continued.
“Been tired,” he lied through his teeth.
“Yeah, okay,” you scoffed. “You slept for like ten hours.”
Pietro’s lips quirked up. “Yeah, true.”
“What’s going on?” you asked bluntly, patting the empty space on the bed beside you. Pietro eyed it for a second, as though hesitating, before getting up and taking a seat beside you, his knees resting against yours, shoulders pressed against one another. You lifted your hand, running it through his hair. “What’s goin’ on in that brain of yours?”
“Just...” Pietro paused. “Don’t you ever... aren’t you ever upset that I can’t... that I can’t really do stuff for you?”
You furrowed your brows, unsure what he meant.
“Like this watch,” Pietro ran his thumb over the face of the shiny gold watch on his wrist, the band glinting under the soft lights of his bedroom. “It’s... it’s great. I love it. But I can’t buy you stuff like this. I can’t... I don’t have...”
“That never upsets me,” you told him honestly. “I don’t even think about that kind of stuff.”
“You could have a guy who can buy you things,” Pietro went on. “A real rich one, you know, take you shopping and whatnot.”
“I can take myself shopping,” you joked, bumping your shoulder with his. He gave a small smile. “And I don’t need that, nor do I want that. I want you, and whatever you come with is perfect.”
“Are you sure?” Pietro scrunched up his face, his pale eyes glazed over. You ran your hand through the icy tips of his hair, and he leaned into your touch like a puppy being scratched behind the ear. “Sometimes I worry that you’ll leave.”
“Leave?”
“For someone with more money,” Pietro mumbled.
“I’m not going anywhere,” you kissed his cheek. “I don’t want to leave, and I’m not going to anytime soon.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes,” you kissed his temple. “I am.”
Pietro said nothing, his brows furrowed and his nose slightly scrunched. You put your hand under his chin, turning his face so the two of you were eye to eye.
"You are perfectly perfect, Piet,” you told him firmly. You felt his face turn hot underneath your hand. “I’ve never wished for anything more or less from you. It’s like I’m Goldilocks and you’re the porridge that’s just right."
“Mm,” was all he said for a moment, leaning into you. After a pregnant pause of silence, he said, “I don’t know what that means.”
“Yeah, I figured,” you wrapped your arms around him, hugging his side. He pressed into you, hugging you back, the warmth from his arms engulfing you. “My next gift for you will be an American nursery rhyme book. How’s that?”
He let out a laugh, holding you tighter. “Anything from you is perfect.”

dad!tony + stark!reader growing up/childhood hcs
wc: 1.4k
genre: fluff, a little angst, preventative hurt/comfort, family/domestic bliss
pairing: dad!tony + kid!stark!reader, gen 1 ironfam (tony, pepper, rhodey, happy) + reader
warnings: Tony loved your mom and thinks you look like her, your mom is not in the picture (open to interpretation), takes place in the early 2010s, mentions of iron man 1 - 3 and the first avengers movie, tony's a good dad, brief mentions of kidnapping/attacks/general danger, tony found out he had a kid and took you in backstory, bonding, tony's a good dad, did I mention Tony's a good dad
a/n: oh boy did this make me feel things lol. self shipping to cope hours who's with me.
@yesv01 @afidiofobia @thatmultifandomloser @babiesimagines @lizziebitch33 @hopefullhearts @thatawkwardlittlefangirl  @dustyinkpages @liberty-barnes
Tumblr media
Knowing what Tony’s like
And we all know what he’s like
The odds are if you’re his kid that he did not know you existed for at least a couple years
(I also like this backstory most bc it puts you roughly in the same age group as Peter and Harley and yall already know how I feel about that)
Your mom is probably someone that caught his attention and heart during his playboy era then disappeared
A few years later 
You or turn up with a very detailed letter from your mom addressed to him
And you look so much like her it knocks the air right out of him
You also look so much like him too
You have all of his sass and intelligence and mannerisms 
It’s shocking at first
You probably came into his life some time after he became iron man but before the avengers were formed
Early 2010s yk 
Which means you actually have a little time to settle into your new life before shit hits the fan again
You know the whole “I’m trying to break generation cycles” thing he has with Peter in homecoming?? 
He has that exact same talk with you
He does so much research and a fuck ton of self reflection on how to raise a kid 
And really be present for them
It's a very spicy emotional time for both of you 
Because he realizes he needs to deal with all the unresolved shit he's been suppressing and ignoring 
And you're trying to deal with the fact that up until now, you really weren't being taken care of like you should have been 
And you're both trying to deal with how scary and dangerous all of the new threats out there are as Fury presses Tony to join the avengers
But you make it work
Because Tony is not giving up on you
And he's not resting until you're totally happy and comfortable and safe with all your needs met
The first time you call him dad?????
He has to try so hard not to cry
He's just so proud of you 
And he loves you so much
He gets that feeling whenever you call him dad
Even when you say it every day 
Even when you introduce him as your dad 
And reference him as your dad 
No matter how often it happens
He never stops getting that feeling
He majorly prioritizes making sure you have a good education too
And that you’re really getting something out of it
Whatever the best solution for you is, you’ll figure it out
While I love the idea of little baby stark just showing up to class in like 3rd grade and being like “this is my dad’s old prosthetic heart it’s a miniature arc reactor he built in a cave when he was kidnapped by terrorists” then proceeding to explain to your whole class and teacher how he designed built and powered the first draft of his suit, and how the electromagnet keeps the shrapnel in his chest from killing him 
Or Tony calling you in sick and you show up a few days later sunkissed with souvenirs from the gorgeous tropical island he took you to “on business” 
After getting separated and having both your lives threatened during the battle of manhattan and the surrounding events
And after getting attacked (again) and not knowing you thought he was dead during the whole ordeal with Killian
He’s going to want to keep you close to him
You can’t get kidnapped or hurt or attacked if you’re near enough for him to keep you safe
And he can’t get kidnapped or hurt or attacked if you’re close by enough to make sure he’s really doing okay
After all the shit you’ve both been through you’ll probably both end up with a lot of anxiety and attachment issues 
But he works together with you to come up with plans for pretty much everything and every eventuality
Even if you know it might not help change the fact that there will be more fights to take on in the future, having a plan for keeping you safe during them makes you both feel a lot more better
And knowing he’s planned for every eventuality takes a huge weight off Tony’s mind too
Which means he can fight even better and save the world with a little more security knowing you’re okay now, and you’re going to be okay when he’s done with whatever problem he’s dealing with
So practically speaking he’ll probably get you a private tutor
Maybe online classes or homeschooling if those end up working better
But he’ll have Pepper find him some good candidates, then grill the living shit out of them
He’ll figure out their communication styles, their teaching styles, and generally if they pass the vibe test
When he finds someone who will actually be able to help you learn, they have to train a lot before they start tutoring you
The last thing he wants is for learning to become a source of distress for you instead of a tool to empower you
Plus having a tutor he can drag along with you means you have even more freedom to jet all over the world so he can surprise you with trips without either of you worrying about you falling behind
And speaking of empowering you
There is absolutely zero chance you’re not learning self defense and how to fight
He somehow helps you skip past the “wow self defense is scary” part right into the “wow this is super empowering and I feel safer and more secure since I started learning how to do this” part
Once you fly through the ranks of a bunch of different self defense and martial arts and fighting styles 
Then you start doing hero training
He makes you a suit that’s armed to the teeth
And also safety protocoled to the teeth
“For emergencies only.” 
After many, many safety talks, now you get to move onto the fun part
He gets to teach you how to use it
Neither of you can deny how much fun it is learning how to blast lasers from your palms or shoot rockets out of your wrists
He literally gets to teach you how to fly
It feels magical
It really feels magical watching you
His kid
Literally learn to fly with his help
God he’s just so proud of you
He loves you so much
Between the traveling and the privacy issues and the safety concerns, anything else you do 
Any skills or extracurriculars or hobbies 
Will also probably be from a tutor or private instructor too
One of his love languages is gift giving
He’s really looking forward to when you’re old enough for him to just hand you a credit card so he can see what you find when you come back
But until then he gets to spoil the shit out of you
Real talk he’s not going to stop spoiling you when you’re old enough to shop for yourself anyway
He loves the way your face lights up when he surprises you with something really cool
Trips, events, gadgets he made you
Anything you could conceptually want or imagine
All he has to do is wave his magic wand and now you have hyper realistic rainbow silicone mermaid tails for when you go swimming 
You have a secret reading room hidden in the back of your closet that you access by pulling a book on a shelf
He even has a toy made after you in your favorite toy line 
Barbies, american girls, legos, action figures
Or whatever your favorite toy/figurine is
He surprises you with a new one that looks just like you
And you lose your shit
Because who wouldn’t
What can he say
Tony loves spoiling you
Your existence is the greatest thing he could ever hope for
You are the most important beloved cherished thing in his life
All he wants is to keep you safe and happy and well taken care of 
And maybe a little pampered and spoiled
But you deserve it
You deserve to have the world handed to you
Which is exactly what he intends to do

Pairings: Natasha Romanoff x Reader , Brief Wanda Maximoff x Reader
Warnings: Possesive Nat, Jealous Nat, Smut, Scissoring, Fluff, Tony being Tony.
Word Count: 2.4k
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You looked in the mirror for the final time as you put on your jewelry and walked out of your room at the compound. Tony is having another one of his parties and said everyone has to attend that they can’t get out of it. You hated his parties as all anyone did was get black out drunk and sleazy men would always try to hit on you. If you were being honest, you only wanted one person to hit on you and that was a certain red head. Your relationship with Natasha was a weird one. At times she would appear stone cold, only interacting when you went on missions together or had team gatherings. Other times the two of you would flirt and play this game of cat and mouse. Lately, she has been around you more and has made flirtatious jokes along with lingering touches here and there. Your crush on the assassin was one that you can’t get rid of no matter how many times you told yourself she didn’t want you in a romantic way.
You sigh as you enter through the doors and look around you. Tony was at the bar taking shots with Bucky and Sam, already looking like he couldn’t stand on his own two feet for much longer. Steve was chatting with Wanda and Clint in the corner by the bar and Natasha was talking to some guy you’ve not once seen in your entire time of being an Avenger and living in the compound. You roll your eyes as you make your way towards the bar, already desperately needing a drink to get some alcohol in your system. You’re just going to stay at the party for one hour tops and make your way back to your room so you can lay in bed and watch the show that you’re currently watching. 
“Y/n! so nice of you to finally join us” you hear Tony slur from beside you, a cup in his hand of God knows what. You stare at him as he stumbles and almost falls. “How are you already this drunk at your own party?” you ask him bewilderingly. He taps you on the back quite harshly, the sudden force catching you off guard as you almost spill your drink on yourself as you stumble forward in your seat. “Watch it Stark, I am not afraid to kick your ass” you glare at him as you put your drink back on the bar countertop. He raises his hands in defense and smirks at you. “Now now no need to get so aggressive, leave that for a certain red head” You roll your eyes and glare at him again but the light tint of pink on your cheeks gives you away. 
“How about you shut your mouth because I have no clue what you’re talking about” you take a sip of your drink and turn away from him as you look around you once more. You smile as you see Wanda approaching you, inviting her with a wave of your hand to sit beside you. She smiles at you as she takes the seat next to you. “Is Tony bothering you?” she laughs at your annoyed expression when he quickly denies it. You ignore him as you smile at her. “When isn’t he? he’s so annoying” you say the last part loud enough so he could hear you. Wanda giggles and smiles brightly at you, and you can’t deny that she looks absolutely gorgeous when she does so.
“That’s Tony for you, i’m surprised you even showed up to the party” You smile at her and take another sip of your drink. “Well, he basically forced us and I didn’t want to face his wrath if I didn’t show up tonight, you know how he is. Besides, my company at the moment is very lovely” you slide your hand up her arm flirtatiously and you relish in the way she smiles shyly at you, a light blush accompanying her cheeks. You smile at her and get up, putting your hand out for her to grab. 
“Would you like to dance with me?” she smiles and grabs your hand, walking the two of you towards the dance floor. “I would love to, cmon” The two of you dance together, her arms around your neck as yours go around her waist, her body so close to you that you feel her breath on your face. You have a feeling that someone is watching you so you look to the side and notice Natasha looking
in your direction, a hard glare fixated towards the back of Wanda’s head. You smirk as you pull Wanda closer, if that is even possible, as you whisper something in her ear. You see Natasha walking towards you guys from the corner of your eye, her eyes not once leaving yours. 
“Hi ladies, so Y/n, I thought you said you were going to come find me so we could dance” you smile at her as you look into her eyes. “Hmm did I? I don’t recall, I was actually enjoying my dance with Wanda” her gaze is hard as she looks at you, her jaw clenched as she grabs onto your arm. “Well I guess it’s my turn now, sorry Wanda but i’m going to steal Y/n for a moment” before Wanda has a chance to speak, you’re being dragged away and out of the party. “What the hell Nat? what are you doing?” the wind gets knocked out of you as you’re slammed into the wall somewhere away from the party.
“Shut up. Did you enjoy your dance with the little witch? Tell me, or did you wish it was me instead?” she has that stupid smirk on her face that always makes you feel some type of way, her face is so close to yours you could almost taste the lipgloss on her lips. 
Before you can say anything, her lips are on yours in a bruising kiss that makes your stomach swoop, the butterflies in your stomach going haywire as your brain finally catches up and you kiss her back with the same intensity. When you feel the need to catch air in your lungs so you don’t pass out, she pulls back first and cups your jaw in her hand as she stares into your eyes. “You’re mine Y/n, and i’m going to show you who you belong to” you two make your way to your shared room and stumble through the door, her lips on yours the second you close it shut. Your head feels fuzzy as all you feel and taste is her. You have been waiting for this moment for so long and you are going to enjoy every second of it. 
You feel her hot breath on your neck as she kisses you there, leaving love bites wherever her mouth reaches, her hands on your butt as she squeezes you there. You run your hands through her hair and moan in her ear. “Nat please, I need you” you pant out as you feel her tongue licking your earlobe, biting it right after. You feel her sucking on your neck again, no doubt leaving many marks that will for sure be hard to cover up. You think she is trying to claim her mark, and the thought of it leaves you even more wet then you already are. She rids you from your dress leaving you in only your panties, pushing you towards the bed and laying you on your back. 
She kisses you hard and shoves her tongue in your mouth, the feeling of her tongue against yours making the ache in your core start to feel uncomfortable . You need her now as the overwhelming feeling of her has become too much for you to handle. She kisses down your chest, taking your nipple in her mouth as she sucks on it. You can feel your slick running down your thigh as you are unbelievably wet for her. “Fuck nat, just like that, feels so good” she bites your nipple and kisses down your body, she lays down as she gets in between your legs. She slides off your panties and spreads your legs wide as she admires her view, breathing in your scent as her mouth waters.
“God you are so wet for me baby, you’re absolutely dripping. I can’t wait to taste your sweet pussy” she licks your juices from your inner thighs, your breathing picking up at the overwhelming feeling of her mouth on you. You run your hand through her hair and tug her closer to where you need her most.
“Please Natty, stop teasing me, need your mouth so bad” you mewl out breathlessly as you look down at her. She gives you a long lick from the bottom to the top of your clit, gathering your taste on her tongue. She starts to lick your folds, looking up at you as she sucks your clit into her mouth. “You taste so fucking good baby, the best pussy i’ve ever had” you moan loudly as her tongue hits you in all the right places, feeling her stick her finger inside you as she sucks on your clit again. “Shit you’re so tight, you feel so warm around me” she fucks you with one finger then slowly adds another one, moving them in and out of you expertly. You are dripping wet that once you adjust, you swallow her fingers as she fucks you deep. “F-fuck don’t stop, that feels so fucking good” she moans against your clit as your nails scratch at her scalp as she fucks you faster, the vibration making your eyes roll to the back of your head. Her mouth and fingers feel so good that you can’t think of anything else. You’re close and she knows it as you clench around her fingers.
She moves up your body and sucks on your earlobe as she fucks you deep and hard, as she whispers in your ear, her voice hot and raspy. “You gonna cum for me baby? Cum all over my fingers, that’s it baby, such a good girl for me” after a few more thrusts you cum hard on her fingers as a strong orgasm washes over you, your breathing is heavy as she rides out your high. You lay there panting as you try to catch your breath. 
She slides her fingers out and you whimper from the loss of feeling, she brings her fingers to your mouth and looks into your eyes. “Open” you instantly obey and suck on her fingers, moaning at your taste. She bites her lip and gets up from the bed and takes off her clothes, joining you in finally getting naked. You bite your lip as you admire her, you’ve never seen someone more beautiful then her. You don’t know if your mind is just hazy from your orgasm but you think you see a hint of a blush on her cheeks and the thought makes your heart swell in your chest. “God Nat, you’re so beautiful” she smiles at you and joins you back on the bed as she kisses you. 
You feel her slick against your thigh and the fact that she is so wet from only pleasing you makes you feel immense pride. She pulls back from the kiss as she bites your bottom lip. “Fuck I wanna feel you, i’m gonna grind on you baby. Wanna feel your pussy against mine” she spreads your legs as she hovers over you, grinding herself on you, the feeling of her wet folds against yours igniting a feeling inside you that you’ve never felt before. “Fuck your pussy feels so good, it’s like it was made for me” she grinds on you faster, her clit hitting yours perfectly as she glides back and forth. You’ve never scissored with anyone before, the feeling of her pussy against yours makes you feel so unbelievably dirty, you’ve never felt something as good as this.
Your eyes roll to the back of your head as she grinds faster, your legs slightly shaking as her pussy feels so good against yours. “God i’m gonna fucking cum, gonna cum on your pussy. Fuck you feel amazing, oh fuck i’m coming!” she sloppily grinds on you as both your orgasms wash over you, your body twitching as she rides out both of your highs, you are so sensitive that you can’t handle anymore. She breathes heavily as she looks down at you, your hair sticking to your forehead and your chest heaving, you’ve never looked more beautiful. She looks at you through hooded eyes and starts grinding on you again. You try to push her off as you’re unbelievably sensitive. “I can’t anymore Nat, ‘m too sensitive” she keeps grinding as she’s not far off from another orgasm. “Just one more princess, your pussy feels so fucking good against mine, fuck” both your clits were so swollen that the feeling of them hitting each other once more had you both so close to your release. “Yes yes yes, don’t stop Nat, i’m gonna cum” you were both so wet that squishing sounds could be heard in the air of the room as both your cunts rubbed together. “Oh fuck, Nat!” you scream her name as an even more powerful orgasm washes over you then the last one, your body shaking and twitching as she slumps against you, the both of you trying to catch your breath. 
“That was amazing” she kisses you sloppily as she continues to lay on top of you, relishing in the warmth your body provides. You lazily run your hand up and down her back as you smile. “So not that i’m complaining, because i’m definitely not, but what brought this on?” her raspy laugh makes you shiver and she looks up at you from your chest. “I got jealous seeing you and Wanda all over each other. I know i’m not an easy person to understand but I have feelings for you and want to be with you. I didn’t want to lose my chance before it was too late” you can see the insecurity in her eyes as she gazes up at you, you know she isn’t always in touch with her feelings so for her to be vulnerable with you in this moment, means more to you then she will ever know. You smile softly at her and stroke her cheek. “I’m yours Natty, I always have been. I want to be with you and only you”

🎃Kinktober Day 23🎃
Day Prompt: Cockbulge/Hate sex/Deepthroating & Facesitting
Word Count: 1,284
Warnings: +18 (MDNI), sexual content, dry humping, violence, hair pulling, choking, hate sex, and my writing as usual babes.
A/N: Honestly, all the prompts are something I fucking love to write about but hate sex won because I got Yelena for day twenty-three lol. I honestly could write Yelena hate sex all day. I am a sucker for it.
Tumblr media
Yelena Belova x F!Reader
You weren’t one to have enemies, at least not in the personal sense of the word. As one of the few remaining Avengers that joined before the Sokovian Accords, you had many grand-scale enemies through the years, but you had one on a personal level now. But not because you fought on different sides of the law, but because neither could see eye-to-eye. Yelena—Natasha’s sister as per Clint’s explanation to you—was someone with whom you couldn’t get along with. No matter how hard Clint tried to make you friends. He’d taken charge of you after you’d lost your mentors and friends, and now he also took care of Kate, and occasionally, Yelena. Clint usually paired you both up, a bonding experience he’d call it when you had gone on a complaining rant to him. He’d been amused, but your anger and rant hadn’t deterred him. And today was another day where he had put you both together even if he knew it could go to shit. But this was no training, this was a small mission to take down a raising group of idiots who thought could strike fear amongst people with their guns.
Clint and Kate were to come in from the north side of the building while you took the south side. And as if irony had been looming around you, Yelena and you were quick to spark hatred amongst commands.
“Jesus, can you be any more annoying?” hissed Yelena as she drew her gun to deck a dude that had been made aware of your presence by their fighting. But he didn’t have the time to warn anyone.
“Girls-” but Clint was interrupted by your annoyed groan at Yelena’s words.
“Me? annoying?” you glared, finger digging into her shoulder. “You are the most annoying person I’ve ever met, and I was friends with Tony Stark.”
“Oh no, you win the title of the most annoying person ever,” she slapped your hand away, a glare of her own. “You do nothing but complain about everything, and let’s not forget that you think you can boss me around every time we have a mission. I don’t need you. I could do this all by myself, be done with it in minutes without your annoying voice.”
“Oh yeah, I forgot,” you gave her an unimpressed grin that was borderline mocking, “you make being a skilled assassin your whole personality. Reminds me of just how shallow you really are.”
It was no surprise that had won you a good punch on your left side, but when you both fought, someone came out with a bruise. Yelena attempted another blow at you, but you evaded, your right hand connecting to her left side. Your knuckles throbbed as you went for another blow as she did too. Both of you were soon in a quick defensive as an equally offensive stand. You could hear gunshots from your earpiece, both Clint and Kate trying to both fight off enemy fire as well as stop you two from killing one another. But neither could stop.
Yelena had hit you twice in the stomach before you managed an uppercut hit before a kick threw her against the wall. She quickly recover before she pushed herself away from it send you back against a desk with a kick of her own. You huffed as you fell back, she straddled you, her hands around your neck. You hissed as you tried to pull her off, but finding it futile, you wrapped your hands around her and with great strength, you rolled yourself over sending you both to the floor with a thud.
Her hands left your throat, and as you gasped for air, you straddled her now, your hands grabbing her own above her head.
“Fuck you!” she spat out, her eyes glaring up at you with so much hatred you could always taste it on the tip of your tongue.
“The feeling is fucking mutual, princess,” you said as you leaned down. Your voice dropping to a low tone to mark with precision just how much that hatred ran down.
“Don’t call me that,” she squinted her eyes, hands fighting your grip, but you were stronger.
“I can call you whatever I want,” you smiled grimly.
Yelena growled in frustration as you made pressure on her wrists, her legs trying to throw you off, but you were stronger as you pressed on her.
“Let go of me.”
You hummed again and this time you kept your silence as you watched with a wicked smirk how much she hated you and the fact that she couldn’t fight you off. Something about watching her raw hatred for you, the very same feeling you felt for her, was doing something to you.
And as if something had gotten ahold of you, the mere inches that you had between each other disappeared as you leaned down to press your lips against her sneer.
Yelena froze underneath you, lips unmoving as were yours. You pulled with a frown at your actions. Yelena’s eyes were narrowed, and the sneer only deepened.
“Fuck. You.” The words had the same hate as before but the low tone her voice had taken made the words come out like a tense growl that was masking the uncertainty of emotions she felt. And you hated that you could relate.
“If you keep growling at me I will.”
It was as sudden as yours, the kiss she chased as she lifted her head. By no means the kiss was sweet, it was everything but. All teeth and growls of disgust for the other and annoyance as the heat you both felt. It was like eating something you claim you disliked to only find out you could get used to the flavor it had offered all along.
But the hatred was still there, right next to, if not holding hands with, the lust the kiss had erupted.
One of the hands that had been on her wrists wrapped around her throat just as she did the same to you. Neither let the other get away with having the upper hand in something neither of you seemed to have control over. Without thinking much, both of you moved around, Yelena still on her back as you found yourself on top of her, but this time one of your legs moved to press your thigh against her pussy. You made pressure as you moved to press yourself to her slightly raised thigh. Both of you groaned into the heated kiss.
Yelena’s other hand won against the grip of your hand, and she went for your hair. She pulled your head to the side, breaking the kiss as you groaned angrily and lustfully.
“Huh, like it rough?” she mocked when you began to move your hips, grinding your pussy on her thigh while you pressed further into her. The hand on her neck moved to grab her jaw tightly as the other dug to grab the hair that was being moused from squirming against the floor. She groaned as a moan escaped first.
“And so do you,” you groaned. Yelena rose her hips as she offered herself some more friction to her cunt. She let go of your head, and you dove right down to kiss her. Just as angrily as before.
This time Yelena couldn’t hold back the full moan as you both moved in sync, finding a rhythm that helped get each other off.
“Are you two fucking right now?!”
You let go of Yelena like she suddenly was a scalding thing just as she crawled away from you. You’d forgotten about the ear comms.
“And they still sounded like they were trying to kill one another,” added Clint.

ironstrange teach Ned. (programming/magic)
Okay, I don’t remember Spider-Man: No Way Home very well, and I did poke around a bit, but mostly this is going to be AU because pretty much all my IronStrange stuff is “whatever I feel like using from canon” and I don’t want to worry about it here. lol. 
They aren’t directly teaching him here, but the idea amused me too much not to do. Hopefully you like it anyway!
-
Tony crosses his arms. “If he’s going to be Peter’s ‘guy in the chair,’ then he needs to know programming, not magic.”
“If I understand correctly,” Stephen says, “the job of the ‘guy in the chair,’” he actually raises his hands and makes air quotes, “is to provide whatever the ‘hero’ requires. Magic is much more versatile than programming.”
“Oh, really?” Tony challenges. “Then use magic to get me the blueprints of, oh, let’s say, the New York Stock Exchange.”
When Stephen quirks an eyebrow, raises his hands, and starts casting, Tony quickly pulls out his phone and starts tapping. Presumably to prove he can hack in faster than magic can do the job.
Ned leans over to Peter. “Are Doctor Strange and Tony Stark competing over who gets to teach me?” he whispers, awed.
Peter grins. “Play your cards right, and it’ll be both of them,” he whispers back.

What about Tony Stark x daughter! reader who's dating someone (Could be Peter, but doesn't have to be) and Tony makes some sort of sex joke when talking to the both of them, but doesn't realize his daughter is asexual (the joke made her a tad bit uncomfortable) and it ends in her coming out to Tony? If not that's totally okay, ty either way! <3
a/n: hi!! Thank you so much for this request!! I love writing asexual!reader, it makes me all nice and warm inside :) i headcanon tony as being the most accepting father ever so yes i am projecting during this fic lol. The joke in this fic is more of an off handed thing, like an innuendo maybe, because i don’t think tony would openly joke about the devils tango with his child word count: 1.1k
Tumblr media
The loud conversations of the other patrons of the restaurants did little to hide the sound of your beating heart. Nerves on edge, you folded your napkin over and over, almost ripping it until you felt a warm hand covering your own. Looking up, you saw the concerned yet comforting expression of your boyfriend. Peter smiled at you and you felt a small part of your fear melt away. Taking a deep breath, you entwined your fingers with his, squeezing slightly. Everything would be okay, nothing could go wrong tonight. Your dad loved Peter, he saw him as a son long before you started dating him. 
“I think I hear him,” Peter whispered into your ear, squeezing your hand, “Let’s do this before all my bravado melts away like the ice cream we’ll have for dessert.” 
You laughed slightly, your eyes going to the front of the restaurant, watching as your dad joked with the hostess before walking arm-in-arm with Pepper towards your table. Peter stood up as they approached, pulling out a chair for Pepper. He stared at Tony awkwardly before slowly pulling out your dad’s chair for him. Pepper hid her smile behind her hand as Tony sat down with a false sense of haughtiness. You stifled your own giggle at Peter’s expression as he sat down, looking at you with wide eyes before turning back to address your parents. 
“Mr. Stark, I-”
Tony held a hand up, pausing Peter’s train of thought. Your dad leaned forward, hands clasped in front of him as he looked at Peter over the tinted sunglasses resting on the bridge of his nose. 
“Kid, I’ve trusted you in my lab, with my bots, I’ve trusted you with a suit to help the world. All I need to know is if I can trust you with my daughter?” 
Peter nodded rapidly, seemingly stunned, a flush rising up his neck and cheeks. You covered his hand with yours, once more holding hands. Tony followed the movement with his eyes and after a minute, nodded and took off his sunglasses. 
“Well, my part is over. Pep?” 
Peter now looked genuinely terrified. You smirked slightly as you took a sip of your water, you knew your mother was an intimidating woman, you’ve seen politicians lose their poise just from one raise of her eyebrow. Peter’s eyes were wide as Pepper adjusted her silverware, waving out her napkin before laying it on her lap and bringing her eyes to meet Peter’s. Your boyfriend audibly gulped. You and Tony made eye contact before returning your attention to your respective partners. 
“Let me be very clear. You make my daughter happy. If, and I mean every word, there is a day you let that happiness be broken because of your actions, you will regret it. I have friends in high and low places and if they can’t deal with you, I will do it myself.” Pepper finished her speech with a sip of the red wine you had ordered for her. Peter looked like he was about to pee his pants. He stuttered out a reply. 
“If I ever break her heart, I’ll gladly accept your wrath, Ms. Potts.” 
Your mom seemed to like that answer, as a wide smile grew on her face. 
“Wonderful! Now, let’s look over the menu, I’m starving.” 
As you looked over the menu, zoning out as you scanned over the options, you heard Peter and Pepper fall into a conversation over his schooling at MIT. A nudge against your calf made you look up at your dad, who was looking at you with a question in his eyes. You read it perfectly. 
You okay? 
You nodded, smiling softly before returning back to the menu. After a few moments, you decided on a sushi roll with lobster and mango as well as a side of gyoza. A waitress came over and took everyones order with ease before walking away, leaving your family to comfortable conversation. Mostly talking about school and secret hero business, you felt your dad’s social battery start to die out, the same slowly starting to happen to you. In an attempt to liven up the conversation, your dad looked at the two of you with a mischievous expression. 
“So, I heard you two are sharing a hotel room tonight? Is this a ‘there’s only one bed’ situation?” 
Something in the tone of his voice made you fidget, Peter looking over at you before answering. 
“There’s only one bed as far as I’m aware, it was the cheapest option.”
Tony started to wiggle his eyebrows and a stream of thoughts ran rapidly in your mind. 
Crap, he’s getting the wrong idea. You need to tell him, Y/N! Come on, he’s your dad, you can do this, tell him!
“Nothings going to happen, Dad!” You tried to match his joking tone but it came out as more of a squeal. Tony looked at you with concern, something in his eyes that you couldn’t interpret. 
“Y/N, you and Peter are two consenting adults, I have no control over what you do as long as it’s safe and consensual-”
“I’m ace!” You blurted out, your eyes widening as you slapped a hand over your mouth. The table went silent, your parents looking at you with equally surprised expressions, Peter watching them with a protective glint in his eyes. You removed your hand from your mouth, lowering your eyes to the condensation that your drink had left on the table, drawing pictures in the water as you spoke. 
“I’m-I’m asexual. I don’t like or want, uh, sex. I just don’t experience sexual attraction…” You trailed off, your voice already quiet as you waited for responses. What felt like years passed before you heard your dad whisper your name, raising your eyes to meet his. He had a sheen of tears in his eyes as he smiled at you. 
“Thank you for telling me, I’m so proud. And I’m sorry if what I was insinuating made you uncomfortable.” The mature tone of your father’s voice threw you off and you smiled worriedly at your parents, Pepper returning your smile. 
“So you don’t think I’m broken or I just don’t know what I’m talking about?” 
Pepper was quick to answer. 
“Oh honey, no. Being asexual isn’t being broken and if anyone tells you otherwise, they’re idiots who never developed advanced thinking.” 
Peter sent your mom a grateful smile, not lost on you. Tony fidgeted a bit before saying something that shocked you. 
“I’m demisexual. Your mother is the only person I’ve ever felt genuine sexual attraction to. Well, except maybe Steve Rogers.” 
Pepper slapped Tony with her napkin as she laughed. You and Peter groaned at the mention of your dad’s not-so-fake crush on the Capsicle. The rest of the dinner went by smoothly, each of you ordering ice cream for dessert. That night, as you and Peter were cuddled up in the small hotel bed watching Doctor Who reruns, you wondered how you were so lucky for the people in your life.

voice of reason
tony stark x f!reader prompt: sleepy theme: fluff (tags beneath the cut)
Tumblr media
“When exactly was the last time you got some sleep?” Tony asked, a hint of amusement coloring his concern as you started at the sound of his voice.
“Hey,” you replied, stifling another yawn. You hadn’t even heard him enter the room; your senses muddled by the late hour. You blinked slowly, trying to banish the burning left in your eyes by the dark room and the bright screen in front of you. “That’s my line.”
“I’m a big fan of irony,” he replied, and you sighed as you felt his hand in your hair. You leaned into the touch as his fingers trailed down the locks and the side of your neck to your shoulder, your eyes closing and a crease between your brows. His lips touched your temple, his voice soft and warm in your ear. “Come to bed, sweetheart.”
“I’ve got work,” you replied stubbornly, waving a hand at the screen. “A deadline.”
He reached past you to tilt the screen towards him. “Baby, the last paragraph you wrote doesn’t even make sense.”
You scowled childishly, jerking the screen back into place. “It’s a first draft.”
Tony chuckled, his lips brushing over your shoulder. “Well, you can edit it when the sun’s out. Right now, you need sleep.”
You turned in your chair to raise an eyebrow at him. “Sleep, huh?”
Tony smirked, brushing hair out of your face. His palm was warm against your cheek, his fingertips trailing along your forehead. “Get your mind out of the gutter.”
“You first.”
He laughed quietly, taking your hand and tugging you to your feet. You groaned half-heartedly by way of resistance, the sound dying as soon as you felt the expanse of his chest and the strong line of his arms wrap around you. You leaned into him, your hands coming up to wrap in the hem of his shirt. The familiar scent of him – notes of expensive cologne, a hint of sweat and the sharpness of motor oil that told you he’d been in the lab –washed over you, and you sighed, relaxing into his frame.
One of his hands moved to tilt your chin upwards gently, and you caught the shadows of his smile in the light of your computer screen before he kissed you. Something akin to a whimper left you to be muffled by his lips as he threaded his fingers through your hair.
“Bed?” he murmured the request against your lips before kissing the tip of your nose, then your forehead.
“…Fine.” you finally acquiesced. “Bed. Just for a few hours.”
“Good girl.”
You closed your eyes as you smiled, leaning into his side as he wrapped an arm around you and led you to your shared bedroom. “Careful, Stark. You start using words like that and we’ll never get any sleep.”
Tony snickered lightly, lips in your hair. His hand squeezed your waist. “Just this once, let me be the responsible one and save it for the morning.”

hi! in case you're taking requests + feel like writing it, could ya write some headcanons on like how young!Tony and/or "regular" Tony would react to his girl using their safeword for the first time? maybe she like just got a bit overwhelmed with rough sex after a long day or something? just like really nothing dark lol, just ya know idk feel free to ignore this really, idk if I'm even making sense here aaaaa
Haha I know where you're coming from 😆 It's more of a little drabble, but I did one for each and both are a little different! I've thought about this before tbh, especially with younger Tony because he definitely won't have any prior experience in this and would probably handle it with a lot more panic lol
Safe Word
Warnings: 18+ | short but rough sex scenes + overstimulation (but only one is the sexy kind) | mention of light bondage | like one line of degradation/dirty talk | aftercare
young!Tony Stark
You weren't even sure how long he'd been going like this, pounding into you from the start without so much as a warning. Wet teeth bit undecidedly between your shoulder and the softer flesh of your neck, and fingers dug harshly into your waist as if he needed to hold you there. You were already trapped under him, chest to chest and pressed so tightly between him and the mattress that you could hardly catch any breath. What breaths you did catch were lost into his shoulder, panted between mewls. You held onto him so tightly to feel better, but better never came. This time, the soft curls between your fingers and the skin beneath your nails weren't so inviting, but it wasn't anyone's fault.
It was a lot, especially when you were still sensitive and sore from last night, and your day had already been spent on your wit's end. While you've probably let him choke the breath from your lungs before and usually enjoyed his heavy weight pinning you down, the current arrangement sent a bolt of panic through your chest. You weren't sure what he just growled against your throat, but for once it wasn't the tone you needed.
"Tony, wait- wait," you started, voice close to your usual strangled moan. There was an unsure faltering of his pistoning hips, probably confused between the clash of your tone and your words. The two of you experiment with a lot of new games, after all. "Stop," you reiterated breathlessly with as stern a tone as you could muster in this state, pushing at his shoulders and rolling your head away from him.
You'd never told him to stop before.
He stopped, still inside you, and tore away from his spot in the crook of your neck. He let go of your waist to sit up on the palms of his hands, not knowing your relief at the extra breathing room he was giving you. Blown-out pupils drifted over you carefully, still processing the palms weakly pushing into his shoulders with fingers spread and straight to keep from touching him fully. You were panting, turned away from him and eyes closed.
He was practically vibrating with the rush of anxious adrenaline, mind racing behind wide eyes. He finally processed what had happened when he felt relief at the slowing rise and fall of your chest. Without a word, he carefully pulled out of you, nearly recoiling out of his skin when you flinched. He wasn't sure if he should touch you, or what to say. He stepped off the bed as quietly as he could, standing around a bit awkwardly with hunched shoulders. What did he do wrong? Did he hurt you? He's never fucked up this bad before.
He reached out, fingers brushing over one of your raised hands, propped up on your elbow. When you didn't flinch away, he took your hand in his. He couldn't tell if you were shaking, too, or if it was just him.
"I'm sorry," you blurted out quietly without thinking, still looking away.
"No, it's okay," he replied just as meekly with a shake of his head. "Did I do something?" It was your turn to shake your head "no".
"I think it was just a lot," you said shyly. "My day was rough enough, you know," you joked with a shaky laugh. It was enough to ease his nerves a little, able to will himself to run a hand through your hair a few times and caress your cheek when you finally looked at him. He forced a smile in response to your encouraging one. He didn't feel as okay as you were letting him know it was, but he got the message.
Just as he had been nervous to be near you, now he was nervous to leave. He assured you that he'd be right back as if you were a nervous puppy, or maybe he was the nervous puppy needing to assure himself. Either way, he reluctantly let go of your hand after a few more seconds and found his way into the bathroom, shortly returning with a damp rag. Usually he liked to tease you all over again during this part, but he was almost too gentle. The parting kiss he always gave your knee was fleeting and light.
You watched him slide on a pair of sweats before he exited the room, and you took the opportunity to slide under the covers. Tony's absence wasn't any more comforting, either, and you were relieved when he came back in. And with two thoughtful glasses of water in hand, one for each nightstand.
You watched him slowly make his way under the sheets with you, rolling onto his stomach and tucking his hands under the pillow he halfway hid in. He looked over at you, eyes still wide but wanting, obviously too scared to reach out. You took the initiative, shuffling over and innocently pecking his shoulder. Even with his expression still unsure, he rolled onto his side, arm raised to welcome you into the safety of his chest.
You were both a bit shaken up. Limits were something new and uncharted, so neither of you could have known, but maybe you could make things a little easier next time with a simple word, and maybe communicate a little better about when it is and isn't a good time for a rough session.
Tony Stark
"Are you my tight little slut?" He snarled, lips right at your ear and huffing hot breaths with the effort of fucking into you so roughly. A hand on the side of your face kept you pressed to his. Your wrists rolled in their restraints above your head. Your nails digging into your palm only made it worse, so you flexed your fingers instead. You didn't think you could answer if you tried, far too tired from the hard orgasms he'd forced out before he'd even entered you, and even your arms were shaking from the strain of being tied up for so long now. At this point, you really didn't even know if you had another one left in you. He'd pushed you far before, but this time his spearing tip was starting to send pangs of soreness radiating through your belly, and that usual pressure was building into nothing, too squirted dry for any release. It was a new burn of frustration that, for the first time, was far from pleasurable, and he only kept on bothering the sweet spots that were no longer so sweet.
And neither was he.
"When I ask you a question, you answer," he growled again, harshly bottoming out and holding still. The heaviness pressing so deep against your end gave you the energy to answer him in a cry, but it wasn't the word he was expecting. This was why he was always so wary of gags, and always watched you so carefully when you tied you up and fucked your throat. He always kept it in the back of his mind, but this was the first time he heard it. He prepared for it to happen one day, but the panic that shot through his heart still hurt, as well as the guilt that settled in the hole it left. He slowly backed off, the hand on your face no longer so tense and now looking down at you. A thumb caressed over your cheek before delicate fingers moved to take care of stray wisps of hair that he'd probably caused at some point.
Your eyes were screwed shut, but you felt him working at your restraints, pulling them from around your wrists and tossing it to the ground with a thud that made you jump slightly. And it didn't help that he was still inside you, softer at least. His hands were calloused, but they softly took your hands in his, bringing them up to his lips. You gulped at the gentleness of lingering kisses to the marks that circled your wrists. One hand let go, instead petting over your hair again with a much needed sweetness in his voice. "(Y/N), honey, are you okay?"
Tony's hand was on your cheek again, gently angling you to look up at him. You gave yourself a few seconds to answer. There were no demanding snarls this time in the absence of your voice, only patient eyes of concern when you finally opened yours. You slowly nodded against his palm. His only answer was a thumb rubbing over your cheek and a heavy sigh of either guilt or relief. He finally eased out of you, the burn of his leave probably much better now that he was soft, but you still grimaced nonetheless. Had this been a part of a scene or one of your games, he would have loved to affectionately shush you with lips on your cheek and tell you all about how good you did for him in a low voice, but he wasn't quite sure if it was still the time for that. Instead, he got to work, quickly cleaning himself so he could get back to you. He stood next to you, burying his face in your chest while he expertly wiped you down with that warm cloth. He quietly shushed you when you flinched, jaw tightening at the feeling of your fingers carding through his hair. They tried to stay there even when he finally rose from your chest, sliding over his shoulders and disappointingly onto the bed when he backed away.
The wet puddle you'd made was turning cold beneath you, and had you feeling a little grimy the longer you sat in it. Luckily, Tony was back by your side to save the day easing his arms around you and carefully resting you on the small sofa across the room. You huddled into yourself as you watched him clean up, replacing the contrasting white and dark sheets and tossing the used pile near the hamper to be dealt with later. He was just as eager to have you back in his arms as you were eager to be back in them.
You were carried back to the bed and lovingly tucked under the covers as if you couldn't have done it yourself. Well, you might not have had the strength to, honestly. He quickly joined you, arms back around you in an instant and hands drifting shapes along your spine. You tucked yourself under his chin, finally smiling when he placed a chaste kiss to your head.
"I'm sorry," he muttered, playing his fingers through your hair.
You slightly shook your head. "It's okay," you whispered, matching the quiet that had so suddenly settled in the room. "I still love you."
He huffed a short laugh at your teasing. It eased his nerves a little more, hopefully enough to follow you into sleep. "I love you, too."

@shawnie--jo​ asked; hc thst SH bucky and reader get really popular on instagram either before or after they’re a couple. Posting cute/spicy photos together but also domestic cute ones. Sharon hates it. I can also see tony commenting on any of the sexy pics/ videos like ‘this shouldn’t be allowed unless i’m filming lol also can see them always sneaking cute pics of each other.
Tumblr media
Pairing: Pornstar!Bucky x Pornstar!Reader
A/n: There’s definitely going to more of this ask that i’m going to be answering in separate parts. There is just too much cuteness going on that one part is not going to suffice! I want to bring much more to this ask along with the others that have been sent in for me to answer! As always happy readings, and feel free to send me some Stark Hub asks!
It’s quiet in the office, your eyes fixed on Tony as he scrolls silently on his phone. He scrolls some more humming quietly under his breath. I think you need to up your factor,” he says as he looks up at you. You raise a brow, “up my factor,” you question “so you’re telling me posting half nude photos and tagging the men of stark hub on my tits isn’t enough?
Tony manages to hold his eye roll, “your likes have hit a plateu, you need to spice it up, bring more likes in kid.” 
“And how would you like me to do that, you want me to start snapping photos of me and the guys before a shoot? Tony leans back in his chair eyeing you for a minute, “that’s actually not a bad thought, hell if you can snap some pictures of Barnes it might even get him a follow or two.” 
You can’t help but to perk up slightly at the mention of the beefy brunette you had recently had your first film with but then a thought crosses you, “would Bucky be okay with it though, heard from the others he strictly doesn’t do socials - wouldn’t want to push him to do something he’s not comfortable with.” 
Tony waves the thought off as he leans forward in his chair, “we can leave that thought for another day then - who are you filming with tomorrow?” “Pepper has me down for the Odison brothers,” you answer. 
“Perfect,” he say’s with a clap of his hand, “before the shoot starts get a raunchy photo with those two, post it on your socials and add a nice little caption to it.” You raise a brow, “raunchy?” This time tony doesn’t hold back his eye roll, “you do porn for a living and suddenly you’re shying away from the word raunchy, kid you know what i mean, just snap a damn photo of you, Thor and Loki post it on your socials and watch your fans eat it up.”
“You’re sure this is going to work though, can’t i just keep posting the lingerie shots?”
“Hell do both if you want - listen kid I’ve been growing stark hubs number’s for years now, of course i know what’s going to work, and trust me if fans start to see the guys you work with they’ll go crazy for it.”
Tony wasn’t wrong, fans did go crazy for it, wanting more from you and the counterparts that you were scheduled to film with. Though you were sure it had to do with the ‘raunchy’ photo that you had taken with the Odison brothers.
‘Get her on her knee brother,’ Loki had purred as he plucked the phone from your hand, “just like that, twist your hands in her hair, yes perfect - now say cheese,” he murmurs as his hand finds your face, thumb pulling on your lower lip to part them for him.
The first photo of many had been a sensational hit, “need more of this kid, who you filming with next?”
Steve had followed the Odison brothers, his photo a little more tame, ‘C’mon Stevie,” you had coo’d from where you sat on your sets chair, “give the fans a peek of America’s ass,” and despite the reddening in his cheeks Steve had slipped between your legs easily, slotting up against you, your hands slipping behind his back the hand with your phone perched high and ready to snap the shot, the other hand drifting low into Steve’s briefs exposing the apples of his cheeks to the mirror. The comments all agreed; that is America’s ass.
Sam’s agreement to your photo came easily on the day of his shoot, “don’t have to ask me twice baby, how do you want me - say Barnes get in on one of these with you yet?” When you offered your answer as he laid your body down for him Sam was surprised by it, “have you asked him,” he questioned as he adjusted himself between your spread legs, body hovering over yours, “It’s only been a week or so since our last film Sammy, and i know how he is about his socials,” you said as you angled the camera up towards the mirror on the ceiling, “well if it’s any consolation i know he won’t say no - not to you.”
You had kept Sam’s words in mind but had’t been able to act on them, until a few weeks after. “Should have just asked me Bucky,” had said as he adjusted himself around your bound form, “I know the guys told you about me not doing social media, and while i appreciate you thinking of me, as long as i’m not the one posting i really don’t mind.” You had smiled as he took your phone from your hand, his chest pressed to your back as his other hand drifted down south. You had to force yourself to let out a breath when he slotted his head into the curve of your neck, “does this mean i have your consent to snap pictures of you.” The chuckle he breathes out against your neck has you shivering in his hold, “long as you’re in them.”
“You know kid I’ve got to hand it to you, your numbers haven’t stalled once since you took my advice.” You rolled your eyes, smile tugging at your lip, “what can i say tagging the guys in my tits just wasn’t doing it for the fans anymore.”
“Right,” Tony exclaimed, as he continued to scroll through his phone, “I’m telling you kid I know what sells - though we’re going to have to talk about this,” he says as he flips his phone to you, a video posted of Bucky taking over his screen. “He hasn’t posted in years since i made him the account, and a couple of pictures with you and he’s suddenly social media master, also this shouldn’t be allowed unless Clint or i are filming!” 
“Don’t you have enough shots of Barnes and I at this point Stark?”
“We don’t have this,” he argues pointing to the steamed video of you in the tub, bubbles barely concealing what is hiding underneath. “If the two of you wanted a shower scene you could have just asked!”
“You going to pay us for that?”
Tony lets out a huff, “unbelievable,” he mutters under his breath, “as if you and Barnes aren’t two of are highest paid stars!”
You laugh as you move off the chair making your way for the exit, “there’s just some things that are only meant for our eyes, Stark.”
And there was plenty of moments you shared with Bucky that the world didn’t see. The moments you shared in his home, and the ones you shared in yours. 
Most of your gallery was of Bucky, the shirtless morning moments where he was still nestled fast asleep in your sheets.
The breakfast shots of his back to you, arm mid stir as he made you your favorite breakfast.
Then there was the ones he captured of the two of you that he would send when he missed you. 
The ones where your pressed into his chest, his lips on your head.
Or the ones where you’re in your sweats your legs in his lap, your body curled beneath his arms.
Or your favorite ones, your mirrored photos before date night, yeah those, those were your favorite.

A Spellbinding Wedding (Spellbinding-Verse Interlude)
Tumblr media
Summary: (Y/N) and Loki’s big day has finally arrived, but will mischief and superhero shenanigans succeed in derailing the happiest day of their lives?
Pairing: Loki X Reader
Word Count: 10.9k
Warnings/Disclaimers: Almost 11k words of pure, tooth-rotting fluff lol
A/N: We’ve finally arrived at the wedding of Loki and the Cosmic Sorceress! If you haven't already, I recommend checking out the Spellbinding Playlist; I added a bunch of wedding/romantic songs I imagine they'd choose for their special day and they're all great, so go ahead and give it a listen!Thank you all so much for reading and for waiting like six months for this thing lol, and I hope that you enjoy!
A Spellbinding Wedding October 8th, 2016 Stark Mansion New York City, New York (Previous One-Shot)
“So, (Y/L/N), in just a few short hours you’re gonna be officially – pause for dramatic effect – off the market! Can you tell us what exactly’s going through the beautiful bride’s head right now?”
(Y/N) briefly paused her mascara application and pretended to ponder Clint’s overly-exaggerated question. “Whether or not it would be rude of me to drop that camcorder through a portal to Muspelheim and lock you in the basement until after the ceremony.”
The archer snickered before jumping up to sit on the dresser behind her and turning the camcorder around to directly address the camera. “As you can see, your mom gets a little cranky when she has to wake up early. Not sure if that’ll go away in the future or just get worse, so…either way, good luck with that, kiddos!”
“When you volunteered to film the ceremony and parts of the reception for us, I really should’ve questioned it more.” (Y/N) resumed applying her mascara while fighting back a smile. “At least any future children of ours will watch this, see just how ridiculous their Uncle Clint is and know that we weren’t exaggerating. Oh! Speaking of children, are Peter’s friends here yet? Tony was supposed to send Happy into Queens to pick them up an hour ago, but I haven’t heard anything about them since.”
“Yeah, they’re all hanging out in the old lab downstairs and Tony’s helping ‘em prep their sound equipment as we speak; you and Loki do know that there’s literally thousands of professional DJ’s living in New York you could’ve hired to run your wedding reception that aren’t sixteen and can actually drive themselves to their venues, right?”
“Says the friend of ours who practically begged to be the videographer even though he’s a professional archer by trade…” She mumbled under her breath, twisting the mascara wand back into its tube just as someone knocked on her suite’s door. “Come in!”
The door opened and Natasha popped her head into the room, her long red hair still wrapped in curlers, a clipboard in her hands and a comm link secured in her ear. The spy was taking her many duties as Matron of Honor very seriously, treating the day’s celebration as if it were a highly-classified mission and not a mid-sized wedding located at Tony’s family mansion; each of their teammates had been assigned specific duties and responsibilities and throughout the morning, Natasha regularly checked in with them to ensure that their tasks were going smoothly, which explained why she was shooting Clint the trademark glare she normally reserved for Hydra agents and invading aliens. “Last I checked, Barton, you’re supposed to be overseeing the florists in the garden and not raising the bride’s blood pressure right before the wedding.”
Clint jumped down from the dresser and raised his hands in surrender. “Okay, okay, no need to go all Black Widow on me, Tasha.” He crossed the room and pressed a chaste kiss onto (Y/N)’s cheek before winking at her through the vanity’s mirror. “I’ll see you at the altar, (Y/L/N)!”
Natasha gave the archer one final glare as he hurried out of the suite while whistling ‘Chapel of Love’ and shook her head when the door closed behind him. “I swear, I’m gonna have to start using my Widow Bites on these people if they don’t start being more helpful…” The spy turned her attention to (Y/N) and her concentrated frown morphed into a smile. “Aw (Y/N), you look stunning and you haven’t even put on your dress yet! I’m serious, it’s like you’re glowing or-” She cut herself off and held a hand up to her ear to listen to a voice in her comm. “Wait a sec, Bruce says that the caterers just arrived. Did you want me to get you anything before I check in on them?”
“Is it too early in the day for a glass of champagne?”
“Not if there’s a splash of orange juice in it,” Natasha answered with a mischievous grin. “I’ll be back before you know it!”
The door closed behind the spy and for the first time that morning, the room fell silent. (Y/N) sat back in her seat and let out a sigh of relief; she loved her friends and teammates dearly, of course, but all she wanted to do was prepare for the wedding in peace and with as little stress as possible. The wedding was slightly larger than they’d originally anticipated, with over a hundred guests from Midgard, Asgard and Alfheim all gathered together at one of Tony Stark’s family mansions in the heart of New York City, and with the ink still drying on the three realms’ fledgling peace treaties, handling the guests and ensuring that they remain peaceful would be a difficult task to carry out on a day already filled to the brim with difficult tasks. So far, her friends were doing an excellent job with ensuring that everything was running smoothly but after living the life of a superhero for over a year, she knew just how quickly a situation could shift from calm to catastrophic.
“I wonder of Loki’s feeling just as anxious about all this as I am,” (Y/N) murmured to herself, giving the photograph of her soon-to-be husband she’d tucked into the edge of her vanity’s mirror a smile before setting her sights on her un-styled hair, hoping that the intricate task would serve to distract her from the butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Brother, what exactly is this gloopy green substance?”
“It’s an avocado and green tea mud mask.”
“…And why have we applied it to our faces?”
“It removes impurities from the skin while unclogging pores and absorbing excess oil.” Before Thor had a chance to ask another question, Loki brusquely continued. “Yes, it’s meant to relax you and no, you cannot eat it.”
Instead of becoming annoyed by Loki’s shortness, his brother chuckled. “In that case, these mud masks must be defective because you’re anything but relaxed, brother.” With a defeated sigh, Loki removed the cucumber slices resting on his eyelids and sat up, tossing the slices into the nearby trashcan and making his way into the suite’s bathroom to wash the half-dried mud mask off; he was halfway done when Thor entered and leaned against the door-frame, a look of concern visible even beneath his own thick mud mask. “Loki, are you all right? You haven’t been yourself all morning, and it’s beginning to worry me. You’re not having second thoughts about the wedding, are you?”
“No! No, of course not,” Loki emphatically shook his head. “I’ve been waiting for this day for quite a long time, believe me, but I…well, it’s an awfully significant life change, isn’t it? I know that what I’m feeling is only a natural reaction to such a change, of course, but a part of me can’t help but wonder if I’m even deserving of this life I’m about to embark on with (Y/N).”
His brother nodded in understanding. “I believe that Wilson refers to them as intrusive thoughts; unwelcome, involuntary thoughts with no basis in truth or fact that can manifest as a result of several forms of trauma.” When Loki raised his brows in surprise, Thor sighed and rolled his eyes in mild exasperation. “Believe it or not, brother, I do listen to what others say when they’re around me. The important point to be made is that they’re wrong; as your designated Best Man, it’s my duty to ease these irrational worries of yours and I believe that I have just the thing!”
Thor disappeared into the bedroom and quickly returned with an ornate bottle and two glasses, and Loki’s jaw nearly dropped at the sight of the familiar flagon. “That’s one of Asgard’s last remaining bottles of the great Hoder’s spiced mead. It’s to be drunk on the most special of occasions and only with the Allfather’s express permission…”
“I took a page out of your book and simply borrowed a bottle on my way out of the palace.” The older man grinned proudly at his uncharacteristic act of subterfuge and Loki couldn’t help but chuckle. “The Allfather might not agree, but my brother’s wedding and all the happiness it will surely bring him is a special occasion.”
As Loki’s throat burned and he fought back the sudden tears brought on by his brother’s support, he watched as Thor poured the amber-colored liquid out into the two glasses and pressed one into his hand, the corner of his mouth curving upwards while he raised the glass. “Well then, to happiness.”
“To happiness,” Thor echoed, and the two brothers clinked their glasses together before downing the spiced mead in one go. “Another!”
There was a gentle knock on the suite’s door and Frigga’s voice called out, “Loki? Thor?”
“Oh, Hel!”
Both men scrambled to hide the evidence of their treasonous transgression, shoving the spiced mead and glasses unceremoniously under the sink and rushing out of the bathroom to open the door for their mother; the Queen of Asgard was dressed spectacularly in a pale turquoise dress and matching wide-brimmed hat, looking just as elegant in Midgardian clothing as she always did on Asgard. Frigga was beaming as she stepped into the suite and reached up to hold Loki’s face between her hands. “Oh, I can hardly believe that my darling little one is getting married today, and to such a wonderful young woman as well! How are you feeling, Loki? Have you eaten anything at all?”
“I’m fine, Mother, just a little anxious.” Loki matched her infectious smile with one of his own. “After all, it’s not every day that three realms of the cosmos come together to celebrate a wedding.”
“You don’t have anything to worry about, because your brother and your friends are doing such an excellent job at keeping everything running smoothly.” Frigga gave them both a knowing look. “Perhaps another glass of Hoder’s spiced mead will soothe your nerves? Now, be a dear and make mine a double, please.”
Loki and Thor exchanged a wide-eyed look of surprise as their mother crossed the suite and began brushing the stray pieces of lint off their suit jackets hanging near the window, humming a cheerful tune to herself as she did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pulling back to admire her handiwork, (Y/N) smiled brightly and twirled Cassie’s chair around to face her vanity’s mirror. “There, all finished! What do you think, Cassie?”
Their flower girl-slash-ring bearer squealed in joy and turned to her with the widest smile on her glittering face. “It’s so pretty! I love it!” She threw her arms around her middle and tightly hugged her. “Do I look like a fairy from Alf…Alf…?”
“Alfheim? I’m not sure, actually, I’ve never seen a fairy there before.” Shrugging, (Y/N) glanced over at Elora, who was preoccupied with unzipping the large garment bag containing her wedding dress. “Elora has, though! Haven’t you, Elora?”
The General of the Alfheimian Army looked up from her task with a small shudder. “Unfortunately. The little beasts possess needle-sharp teeth and use their woodland magic to mask their presence right before viciously attacking any who dare trespass into their domain.”
(Y/N)’s eyes widened in alarm but before she could chastise the Alfheimian for her bluntness, Cassie clapped her hands together and let out a delighted laugh. “That is so cool!”
A knock on her suite’s door drew (Y/N) away from Elora and Cassie’s animated discussion of the various magical beasts that lived on Alfheim, and she opened the door to reveal Sam and Bucky; both men were already dressed in their suits, minus their floral boutonnieres, but her calm demeanor vanished when she caught sight of the panicked expressions they were desperately trying to mask. “Okay, what’s wrong?”
“Wrong? Nothing’s wrong, doll-”
“Yeah, everything’s goin’ according to plan, (Y/L/N), promise-”
“Nat had us come up here to…um…”
“To see if you needed any help with…anything.”
She arched an unimpressed brow that almost instantly silenced both men. “Do I really have to ask you two again?”
“…Scott lost the wedding rings!” (Y/N)’s jaw dropped and Bucky let out an indignant noise as Sam raised his hands in surrender. “Sorry, Buck, but she’s got the same death glare my mom used to give me! Yeah, Scott put the rings down and now he can’t find them anywhere, and he can’t even use the ants to help ‘cause he didn’t bring his suit along.”
The super soldier hastily added, “Nat’s trying her best to jog his memory, but…well, you know Nat. I think she might end up making the poor guy faint before finding out where he might’ve lost the rings.”
“Okay, okay…” Rubbing her temples in an attempt to quell the rapidly-growing headache, (Y/N) took a steadying breath and forced herself to remain calm as she began formulating a plan. “All right, my hair and makeup’s already done, so let me find some slippers and we’ll go find Nat and Scott. I might be able to use my Alf Seidr to try and find them-” Both Sam and Bucky breathed a sigh of relief. “-But not a word of this to Loki, okay? The last thing he needs today is any added stress…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arching a curious brow, Loki examined the items laid out on the coffee table before glancing up at his teammates. “This is a Midgardian tradition? It seems a little silly that these random objects can determine the outcome of a marriage.”
“Yeah, it’s a good luck thing here on Earth, Lokes, like that old Saints jersey Sam wears during every football season.” Clint held up the camcorder and pointed the lens at Loki as he continued. “Your dad’s a pretty smart guy, kiddos, but don’t let that fool you; he once thought your mom was dying when she was only having a little brain freeze. Remember, Lokes?”
“Children, if you’ve ever wondered why your mother once attempted to hit your dear Uncle Clint over the head with a coffee-table book, then now you know,” Loki snickered as the archer flushed pink and rolled his eyes.
A reluctant smile played on Steve’s lips while he finished fastening his cuff-links across the suite. “I hate to say it, but Barton’s right about it being good luck here. ‘Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.’ Your mother gifted you a set of cloak clasps for today so that’s your ‘something old,’ your tuxedo counts as your ‘something new,’ Tony’s lending you one of his nicer Rolex watches for your ‘something borrowed,’ and your ‘something blue’ are the navy blue suspenders you’re wearing.”
Loki hummed in interest. “I suppose that a little extra luck wouldn’t go amiss…”
Just as he slipped the borrowed Rolex onto his wrist, a visibly panicked Thor burst into the suite and made a bee-line to Steve. “Captain Rogers, there’s an urgent matter that I must speak to you about!”
“If it’s that Tony wrote a borderline explicit speech to read at the reception, then we all know and Nat already took care of-”
“No, no, it’s not that, but we really should discuss this matter out in the hall-”
“What is it, Thor?” Loki asked, tilting his head in confusion as he took in his brother’s unusually pale face and arching a disapproving brow when he proceeded to badly explain away his concern. “Brother, surely you haven’t forgotten that I’m the God of Lies? Whatever it is, I’m sure that we’ll be able to handle it before the ceremony begins.”
Thor swallowed and anxiously bit his lip before blurting out, “A wizard is currently battling a space worm out on the lawn.”
“What?!” Loki, Steve and Clint all exclaimed in unison.
“It just appeared out of nowhere and started wreaking havoc across the grounds, but then a wizard stepped out of a portal and started fighting it! Stark and Rhodes are already on their way to help but it seems that the beast is indestructible!”
With his jaw clenched tight in mounting agitation, Loki stood from his seat and summoned his emerald-green magic. “Not if I have anything to say about it.” A shimmer of light enveloped his body and in the blink of an eye, his wedding attire morphed into his Asgardian battle armor and daggers appeared in his grasp. “The beast and this so-called wizard will soon regret the very moment they dared to step foot on this property.”
Steve shrugged off his tuxedo jacket and reached for the red, white and blue shield propped up beside one of the suite’s armchair. “Barton, keep the caterers and florists away from the lawn, and make sure the guests stay inside and away from the windows.”
“On it.”
“And not a word of this to (Y/N), all right?” All three men nodded in agreement and Loki’s grip tightened around the hilts of his daggers. “The last thing she needs today is any added stress…”
As the trio of men hurried outside, a part of Loki wondered if he’d been tricked into believing that a cosmic monster was in the process of battling a sorcerer and that it was all some sort of elaborate prank concocted by his brother and friends to ease his pre-wedding jitters. However, that spark of hope was quickly extinguished when Steve threw the back door open and was forced to jump back to avoid being struck by Rhodes’ flailing body falling from the sky.
“Oh, I’m definitely gonna feel that one for a couple of days,” Rhodes groaned in pain and allowed Steve to hoist his armor-clad body to his feet. “Either of you guys wanna tell me what an ugly-ass space worm is doing here in New York? ‘Cause it’s definitely not here to wish the bride and groom its best!”
The familiar sound of repulsor blasts intermingled with the booming roars caused all four men to turn and watch as Tony darted around the tentacles of an enormous pink creature and a dark-haired man wearing a burgundy cape conjured orange-hued magic to counter its vicious attacks. “Earth has second-rate sorcerers now, how delightful…” Loki rolled his eyes and turned to the others. “It’s an Abilisk, a cosmic creature that feeds off significantly-sized energy sources, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if that cheap magician down there summoned it here out of pure incompetency.”
“Let’s deal with the Abilisk first, brother, and then we’ll confront the wizard later!” With a burst of lightning, Thor flew off towards the enraged creature and attempted to slam Mjolnir against its skull, but he was quickly swatted aside by one of its flailing tentacles.
Loki and Steve exchanged a look with Rhodes before joining the battle; the Air Force colonel attempted to shoot it with one of his suit’s many guns but was unsuccessful due to the creature’s impenetrable hide and no matter how twisted its own tentacles became due to the super soldier’s impressive athleticism, the beast remained standing and overwhelmingly angry. After throwing a handful of emerald-green magic at a tentacle to stop it from slamming into Steve’s back, Loki looked over to see the bearded sorcerer performing a spell nearby. “Care to introduce yourself and explain why you’ve brought an Abilisk to my wedding?” He yelled over the creature’s deafening roars.
“My name’s Doctor Stephen Strange, I’m a Master of the Mystic Arts, the guardian of the New York Sanctum in Greenwich Village and I most certainly did not summon an Abilisk here!” The sorcerer shouted back as he threw two semi-circular protective shields at the Abilisk’s face, where they exploded on impact and disoriented the enraged creature further. “Someone here at this mansion opened an inter-dimensional portal and let this creature come through, and as soon I arrived to send it back, my sling-ring was stolen from me by an unchecked summoning spell!”
“Sling-ring?”
“Yes, it’s what allows me to channel the magic needed to open inter-dimensional portals between any two points within the universe and without it, I can’t send the Abilisk back to where it came from!”
Loki was quickly filled with a sneaking suspicion about the whereabouts of the sorcerer’s sling-ring, but he prayed to the Norns that he was wrong as he called out to the others, “Does anyone here have access to Romanoff’s comm link? I think she may be able to shed some much-needed light on the situation!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The air around (Y/N) crackled and hummed with magical energy as she used her Alf Seidr to sense her surroundings and a familiar tugging sensation in her stomach preceded a strange weight in her outstretched left hand. She opened her eyes and her excitement instantly turned to annoyance when she was met with the sight of yet another unfamiliar ring; the one resting on her open palm looked different from the rest, almost reminding her of a pair of brass knuckles but with strange etchings across its bronzed surface. “Well, this definitely isn’t what I’m seeking…” She tossed the object into the basket of other rings she’d inadvertently summoned while searching for the lost wedding rings and sighed. “Do any of you have any bright ideas?”
Scott, Natasha, Sam and Bucky all shook their heads from their spots across the laboratory, and the ex-convict was the first to speak. “I-I’m really, really sorry about this, (Y/N), I didn’t mean to-”
“It’s okay, Scott, I know you didn’t mean to lose the rings…” (Y/N) rubbed her temple in an effort to quell her raging stress-induced headache as she considered what to do next. “I’ll just have to try the spell again, then maybe it will-”
“Tony?” They all looked over to see a frowning Natasha listening to her comm link. “Okay, slow down, I can’t hear what you’re…wait, what wizard ring? Yeah, Scott lost the rings and (Y/N)’s been using her magic to try and find ‘em, but…” The spy’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped at whatever the billionaire was saying through the comm. “Oh shit.”
(Y/N) frowned. “What is it, Nat?”
Before Natasha could answer, the wall nearest to (Y/N) suddenly exploded and she had just enough time to summon a protective bubble of magic to encase them as chunks of stone and debris began raining down. The dust was beginning to settle when she flicked her wrists to remove the shield, her brows rising in surprise as she recognized her future brother-in-law extricating himself from the rubble. Thor’s blue eyes widened comically when he spotted her standing before him and he swallowed nervously before giving her a small wave. “H-Hello, Lady (Y/N). Shouldn’t you be off preparing for the ceremony?”
“What’s going on, Thor?”
“Nothing, nothing, just an intense arm-wrestling match with your delightful Alfheimian friends; for one so small, Myriani has quite the arm!”
“Thor.”
Natasha stepped forward and gestured towards the comm link in her ear. “According to Tony, there’s a giant space worm wreaking havoc on the lawn that you unintentionally summoned here with your Alf Seidr, and the only person who can get rid of it is a wizard-doctor who lives in Greenwich Village but you accidentally stole his magic ring.”
“God, just put me back in the damn ice…” Bucky groaned as he dropped his head into his vibranium hand.
Sam reached into the basket of rings and withdrew the odd-looking shape made of engraved brass. “I’m no expert on wizards, (Y/L/N), but this kinda looks like it could be magical to me.”
(Y/N) took the ring from Sam and with a wave of her hand, she transformed her silk robe and slippers into her Cosmic Sorceress uniform and marched through the hole in the laboratory wall. There was indeed a towering pink-skinned creature flailing its many tentacles as her friends and teammates fought their hardest against it; Tony and Rhodey were firing their suit’s repulsors and dodging its tentacles in the air while Steve, Loki and an odd-looking man wearing a red cloak tried all they could to draw the creature’s attention away from the mansion. Ignoring the guilt beginning to eat away at her, (Y/N) strode across the lawn and called out over the deafening roars, “Doctor, catch!”
The wizard-doctor looked over and raised his hand just in time to catch his ring, quickly slipping it into his fingers and rotating his hands in a circular motion to create a sparking orange portal directly beneath the creature; it released a final roar as it dropped down into the portal and disappeared, leaving the grounds of Stark Mansion silent. The stranger closed the portal he’d opened and breathed a sigh of relief before setting his sights on an embarrassed (Y/N). “Your royal highness, would you care to explain what’s going on and why you took my sling ring?”
(Y/N) fidgeted with her finger-less gloves and attempted to smile, but it appeared as more of a grimace. “First of all, I’m very sorry for all the trouble this has caused you, Doctor…”
“Strange. Doctor Stephen Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts and the guardian of the New York Sanctum.” They shook hands and she silently took note of the unique magical energy radiating from him. “You’re (Y/N) (Y/L/N), former trainee librarian turned Cosmic Sorceress, the Crown Princess of Alfheim, daughter of the Alfheimian Layeia Tilasdottir and the very-human David (Y/L/N), descendant of the esteemed Lady Astrid, designated representative between the Light Elves and the Nine Realms of the cosmos, and the Defender of the Realm of Alfheim.”
Taking a step back, (Y/N) arched a questioning brow and fought the sudden urge to summon her magic or even her sword. “For someone I’ve never met, you certainly know an awful lot about me.”
Doctor Strange shrugged. “I make it my business to keep an eye on beings that pose the largest threats to this world and I have to say, you’re quite high on my list.”
“Well, like I was saying, Doctor, all of this has a very simple if not embarrassing explanation-”
“(Y/N)!” They both turned to see Loki and their friends hurrying towards them; their tuxedos were covered in grass stains and an odd multicolored slime, and her fiancé’s emerald-green eyes were filled with worry as he gently held her shoulders and leaned down to meet her gaze. “Darling, are you all right? What happened?”
As the rest of their friends and even some of their guests began making their way across the lawn, (Y/N)’s embarrassment grew and she brought a hand up to partially hide her face. “Scott misplaced the rings and I thought I could use my magic to find them, but my anxiety must’ve led to me opening a portal and then the strength of my spell accidentally took Doctor Strange’s sling ring, and…well, you know the rest. I still have no idea why I wasn’t able to summon our rings; it’s almost as if something was blocking my magic…” Loki paled at her words and it was (Y/N)’s turn to be concerned. “Loki?”
“This situation, um…it may not entirely be your fault, darling.” Her fiancé chuckled awkwardly and rubbed his neck as he glanced over at where Scott, his girlfriend Hope Van Dyne and Cassie were all standing near Elora. “You see, I assumed that Lang might misplace the rings so before I started getting ready, I placed an enchantment on them and as an added precaution, I instructed Barton to give Lang an empty ring box and give the real ones to-”
“Hey, guys! Cassie had the rings the whole time!" Scott shouted and gave a giggling Cassie a celebratory fist-bump. “Either my little peanut’s becoming a better thief than her old man, or someone didn’t trust me with ‘em in the first place. Probably the second one, huh?”
With an incredulous laugh, (Y/N) allowed a chuckling Loki to pull her into his arms and shook her head in disbelief. “Does that mean we ruined our own wedding?”
“My dear, you both haven’t ruined a single thing,” Frigga reassured her as she walked up to them and gave her shoulder a comforting squeeze. “Your friends and guests are still here, all of them safe and unharmed, and the sun is shining brightly in the sky. Why shouldn’t your wedding continue as planned?”
A stern-looking Doctor Strange raised a hand and answered, “Because Miss (Y/L/N) here nearly caused the destruction of New York with her unchecked magic and a mass hysteria the likes of which hasn’t been seen since his invasion. Such an act, even one as accidental as you claim this one to be, cannot go unexamined and unpunished.”
(Y/N) bit her lip while Loki rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to counter his words, but his mother’s hand on his arm silenced him as she turned to Doctor Strange with a brilliant smile. “It’s very nice to meet you, Doctor Stephen Strange of Midgard; I am Frigga, the Queen of Asgard and mother to Loki and Thor. My dear future daughter-in-law has recently obtained an extraordinary amount of Alf Seidr that she’s still training to control and seeing as today’s her long-awaited wedding day, it’s quite understandable that her focus was shaken.” Frigga sympathetically rubbed (Y/N)’s back and took a moment to adjust her uniform’s purple-hued tiara before returning her attention to the sorcerer. “Now, I’m sure that a highly-skilled Master of the Mystic Arts such as yourself would be honored to utilize the Time Stone hanging around your neck and repair the damage caused by the creature, so as to ease Lady (Y/N)’s frazzled nerves and prevent any other unfortunate accidents from occurring.”
Doctor Strange blinked in surprise. “Um…”
“For your valiant defense of this realm, Asgard recognizes you as one of its trusted allies and speaking as the mother of the groom, I would personally be honored if you joined us for today’s celebration of Loki and Lady (Y/N)’s nuptials.”
“That’s, um…thank you, Queen Frigga, for extending an invitation to me…I-I’d be honored to attend…” The sorcerer’s cheeks flushed pink and he tried his hardest to avoid making eye-contact with the beautiful goddess in front of him. “I’ll start on the repairs right away…”
While a flushed Doctor Strange started using the power of the Time Stone to reverse the damages to their friends’ tuxedos first, (Y/N) turned to look between Frigga and Loki as her stunned expression morphed into a grin. “You really did inherit your Silvertongue from your mother, didn’t you?”
“So it would seem,” Loki replied and leaned down to press a kiss onto his mother’s cheek. “Thank you for intervening on our behalf, Mother.”
Frigga’s blue eyes twinkled with some mischief of her own as she gave them a conspiratorial wink. “Of course, little one. I was raised by witches who taught me many invaluable lessons, among which was that diplomacy and deceit are two sides of the very same coin.”
After the Queen of Asgard went to supervise the sorcerer as he repaired the lawn and floral arrangements surrounding the white gazebo that they’d soon exchange their vows within, (Y/N) spotted Clint filming the aftermath of the battle and giggled. “This’ll be a fun memory to share with our future children: How Mom and Dad’s magical shenanigans nearly wrecked their own wedding.”
Loki laughed. “After listening to Stark read me an online article chronicling several common wedding day horrors, ours was relatively tame by comparison.” He gave her forehead a lingering kiss before meeting her gaze with a tender smile. “Are you ready to get married, my love?”
“More than ready, sweetheart.” (Y/N) slipped her hand into her fiancé’s and swung their arms as they made their way into the mansion to finish getting ready for their wedding ceremony.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An hour and over a dozen magical repairs later, Loki and Thor stood outside on the mansion’s veranda with Cassie Lang, keeping the flower girl-slash-ring bearer entertained and patiently waiting for (Y/N) and Natasha to finish their last-minute preparations so the ceremony could begin.
The guests were all seated and talking amongst themselves while they enjoyed the late afternoon sunlight breaking through the fluffy white clouds; the only people not seated in the rows of benches were General Elora – who would be officiating the ceremony, as it mainly drew from ancient Alfheimian customs – and Peter, MJ and Ned; the young woman graciously volunteered to play the guitar while they walked down the aisle, and her two best friends were keeping her company as she perched herself on a wooden stool beside the gazebo’s steps. Floral arrangements comprised of green and lavender Dahlias and branches of fern lined the aisle and hung gracefully off the ends of the sculpted wooden benches, while vines of green ivy and lilacs wrapped around the gazebo’s posts and railing. The interior of the gazebo was illuminated with dozens of twinkling fairy lights that were set to brighten as the sun started to set, and lanterns of battery-powered candles hung from each nearby bush and tree.
Embracing a mixture of Asgardian and Midgardian traditions, Loki was dressed in a tailored black tuxedo with an emerald-green cloak fastened to his jacket by the engraved golden clasps his mother gifted him, and he wore a floral crown of blooming laurels and leaves. On Asgard, one’s future spouse chose the flowers that best represented their intended and after much deliberation, (Y/N) picked the laurel for its many symbolic meanings; the laurel symbolized nobility, intelligence and an acknowledgement of the new phase he was entering by marrying her. Quite a flattering choice on her part, he thought with a reserved smile as he conjured another tiny burst of fireworks for Cassie’s amusement.
“Perhaps one day, young Cassie, my brother will show you how he can transform into any animal one could imagine,” Thor remarked to Cassie as he took a moment to readjust his green pocket-square.
The little girl’s eyes widened in amazement and she quickly turned to face Loki. “Can you turn into an ant?!”
Loki blinked in surprise as Thor stifled a chuckle behind his hand. “Um, well…now that you mention it, I haven’t actually tried.”
“Oh. I like ants. The ones that my daddy works with are really nice!”
Watching Cassie suddenly switch from talking about ants to twirling around in her soft green dress, a part of Loki hoped that his and (Y/N)’s future children shared the little girl’s quirky enthusiasm and unapologetic sense of wonder. The sound of the veranda’s glass door opening caused Loki to turn around and when he did, he was met with the jaw-dropping sight of his fiancée. (Y/N)’s off-white wedding dress – impeccably designed for her by Luke Jacobson – was relatively simplistic, with a fitted bust that cinched at the waist and flared out into a flowing skirt that reached the floor, but what elevated the entire look from simplistic to enchanting were its unique details; a lace overlay of hand-sewn floral designs was fastened onto the bust, branching out into fluttering sleeves that hung down to her biceps, and the only jewelry she wore besides her engagement ring was a delicate pair of pearl earrings she inherited from her late aunt. Her hair was arranged into one of her favorite styles and on the top of her head, she wore a floral crown comprised of white Camellia blooms; he’d picked them for her because they symbolized admiration, respect and everlasting love and devotion. A veil of lace-trimmed white chiffon was attached to the back of the floral crown, hanging gracefully down her back and barely brushing the floor. The finishing touch was the bouquet she was clutching in her hands; it was comprised of laurel, white Camellia blooms, lavender and lilac-colored roses and dusty green foliage.
“Darling…” Loki approached her almost reverently and stood before her with a dazed smile on his face. “I truly am the luckiest man in all the Nine Realms, to find myself marrying such an ethereal goddess as you.”
(Y/N) shyly ducked her head before reaching a hand up to straighten one of his cloak clasps. “You must be a mind-reader, then, because I was just thinking the same thing about you.”
His lips chastely caressed her knuckles as Natasha stepped onto the veranda with a small basket of multicolored flower petals and a small bouquet of her own; the Matron of Honor was dressed in a simple lilac-colored gown, with her long red curls pinned up in an elegant style by a single white Dahlia and glittering silver heels on her feet. “Save the kissing for later, lovebirds, we’ve got a wedding ceremony to begin.” Mindful of her gown, the spy bent down and held the basket out for Cassie to take. “Okay, Lang, just like we practiced.”
“I’m on it,” Cassie replied, toothily grinning and giving Natasha a thumbs-up before taking the basket from her and allowing the spy to quickly adjust (Y/N)’s veil.
“Are you two ready?” After Loki and (Y/N) nodded, Natasha held a hand up to her comm link and spoke lowly into it, “All right, kid, let’s do this thing.”
Across the way, MJ nodded and gestured for her friends to take their seats, spending a moment adjusting her guitar’s shoulder strap before beginning to softly play. The guests’ conversations started to dim down and with a nod of confirmation from the spy, Cassie walked across the lawn and started to slowly make her way down the aisle, scattering flower petals along the way while her father beamed with pride from his seat.
Thor leaned down to give (Y/N)’s forehead a chaste kiss and clapped a hand on Loki’s shoulder, his blue eyes sparkling with happiness as he allowed Natasha to loop her arm around his. “See you in a minute.”
Natasha winked at them and with that, the Best Man and the Matron of Honor began their walk down the aisle; when they ascended the gazebo’s steps and took their respective places, (Y/N) slipped her hand into Loki’s and he squeezed it tight as they crossed the lawn to stand at the end of the aisle. Once the guests all stood and turned to face them, Loki and (Y/N) exchanged a smile before starting down the aisle hand-in-hand; long before they knew it was Alfheimian tradition that the bride and groom walk themselves down the aisle on their wedding day, (Y/N) pointed out that since they’d both be entering into marriage with one another, it only made sense that they’d choose to walk down the aisle together.
While they slowly walked down the aisle as MJ played a gentle love ballad on her guitar, Loki looked out at their friends, teammates and colleagues standing amongst the guests to distract himself from the butterflies beginning to flutter around his stomach. Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Everett Ross and Doctor Helen Cho stood alongside everyone they invited from S.H.I.E.L.D., the director giving them both an approving nod as they passed by; Steven Grant – the quirky man they’d met while on vacation in Egypt and to whom (Y/N) was a devoted pen-pal – stood beside Layla El-Fouley, his alter Marc Spector’s stunning wife, and for the briefest moment, Loki could even see the skeletal figure of Khonshu lingering by one of the distant trees; their new and reluctant friend Doctor Stephen Strange, now dressed in a simple black tuxedo instead of his sorcerer’s robes, stood beside his fellow sorcerer Wong and attempted to not look as uncomfortable as he presumably felt amongst so many superheroes; Peter Parker and Ned Leeds were trying their hardest not to seem too excited to be sharing a row with Doctor Jane Foster and Darcy Lewis, and Loki could hear (Y/N) stifle a giggle when the eccentric woman winked and fired finger-guns at them; Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne’s attention was caught between watching Loki and (Y/N) make their way down the aisle and keeping an eye on Cassie standing on the gazebo beside Thor, while Bucky and Sam both smiled widely at them as they passed; Bruce stood beside his cousin Jennifer Walters, who was already flirtatiously eyeing an embarrassed Rhodey standing across the aisle, while Pepper elbowed a snickering Tony; Steve and Clint stood at one of the front rows, the super soldier beaming with happiness and the archer filming their procession with his camcorder.
At the front of Loki’s side of the aisle stood their Asgardian and Alfheimian friends and family. Fandral winked at him and Sif grinned widely as Volstagg toasted them with the chocolate bar he was snacking on and even the ever-stoic Hogun gave them an atypical smile. Queen Amirah of Alfheim stood beside her guards, Hagen and Myriani, and the afternoon sunlight make her blue opal tiara sparkle almost as much as her smile, and at the end of the row stood Frigga, who was dabbing at her tear-filled eyes with a handkerchief as they walked past and ascended the gazebo’s steps.
Elora patiently waited for all the guests to take their seats to begin. “We are gathered here to witness the union of Crown Princess (Y/N) Layeiadottir (Y/L/N) of Alfheim and Midgard and Prince Loki of Asgard, two halves of the same shining soul, in blessed matrimony. Do both parties stand here of your own free will to acknowledge the eternal bond shared by the both of you?”
“We do,” Loki and (Y/N) replied in unison.
“Then you may face one another, join hands and recite your written vows.”
After (Y/N) handed her bouquet over to Natasha and placed her hands in Loki’s, she took a steadying breath before smiling up at him. “Loki. Through all the tears and all the struggles we’ve overcome together, a part of me always knew that we were destined to make it here. My heart was yours the moment I first looked into your beautiful eyes and as I look into them now, I can see every ounce of the passion and devotion I feel for you reflected in them. Sweetheart, you’re my greatest love and the brightest light in my life, and I promise to love and cherish you from here to eternity as your wife.”
Loki swallowed the lump in his throat and forced himself not to cry as he started speaking his own vows. “(Y/N). Not a day goes by where I don’t count myself the luckiest man in all the Nine Realms to have the love of someone as utterly magnificent as you. In the beginning of our romance, I feared that you were too good to be true, that I couldn’t possibly be deserving of someone so pure and loving as you are. But here we stand, surrounded by our friends and family, and I feel proud and incredibly blessed to become your husband. My darling, you’re my lover, my best friend and my eternal soulmate. All I am is yours, and here before our friends, our family and the Norns themselves, I vow to be until the end of time.”
(Y/N)’s eyes were filled with unshed tears and although Loki’s gaze never left hers, he could hear the sniffles and rustling of Kleenex packages amongst their guests. “(Y/N), do you take Loki to be your husband, to cherish in love and in friendship, in strength and in weakness, in success and disappointment, to love him faithfully today, tomorrow and forever?”
“I do,” (Y/N) vowed and smiled widely up at him.
“Loki, do you take (Y/N) to be your wife, to cherish in love and in friendship, in strength and in weakness, in success and disappointment, to love her faithfully today, tomorrow and forever?”
Loki solemnly nodded as he vowed, “I do.”
“And now, for the rings.”
Cassie nodded, handing one ring to Natasha and the other to Thor before giving her father an excited wave, causing a ripple of giggles through the rows of guests; the spy handed (Y/N) the ring and her eyes flicked between his and the thin band she held as she recited the ceremony’s next words. “I present to you this ring as a symbol of my devotion.” She slipped the band onto his ring finger to rest above his gold engagement ring. “My body, my soul and my everlasting love I share with you always and forever.”
Accepting the ring that his brother handed him, Loki gave (Y/N) another smile before reciting, “I present to you this ring as a symbol of my devotion.” He slipped the band onto her finger above her sparkling engagement ring. “My body, my soul and my everlasting love I share with you always and forever.”
“May these symbols of your devotion serve to always remind you of your everlasting bond.” Elora’s golden-colored eyes were slowly misting over as she spoke, no doubt wishing that (Y/N)’s late mother and father could be there to witness their only child be married. “And now, by the power vested in me by my rank as General of the Alfheimian Army, it is my honor to declare you both married. Go forth and live each day of your lives together to the fullest. You may seal this declaration with a kiss.”
Beaming with happiness, (Y/N) stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against Loki’s in a brief but passionate kiss that he was quick to reciprocate. For one singular blissful moment, everything and everyone around them faded away and they stood alone on the gazebo, sharing a sweet and loving kiss that symbolized their long-awaited unification as husband and wife. The cheering and applause from their guests brought Loki back to reality sooner than he would’ve liked but after reminding himself that they’d have plenty of time to be alone later, he ended their kiss and gave his wife a mischievous smile before scooping her up in his arms and spinning around while she burst into joyous laughter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To say that the wedding reception was one of the liveliest parties (Y/N) had ever attended would be an understatement. From the moment they were declared husband and wife, she felt as through she’d been whisked straight into a dream that seemingly had no end to it; once they finished having their wedding photographs taken, they spent a half an hour by themselves in one of Stark Mansion’s many living rooms, enjoying several slices of pizza (and lots of kisses, of course) and taking time to relax for the first time that day while the guests filtered into the ballroom for the reception.
After (Y/N) and Loki snuck into the beautifully-decorated ballroom and made their rounds around the tables to greet their guests as they enjoyed their dinner, the trio of teenagers they’d allowed to be their DJ’s took their places behind their equipment and announced the bride and groom’s first dance as husband and wife; they both had fun watching their guests’ reactions when, instead of some sort of romantic waltz or ballad, they danced along to the fast-paced disco hit ‘You’re The First, The Last, My Everything,’ spinning and twirling so much around the dance floor that (Y/N) was thankful she’d removed her floral crown and veil and that Loki had dressed down to just his black tuxedo.
The guests took to the dance floor once dinner was cleared away and while Loki danced with Frigga, Thor asked (Y/N) for a dance. From there, (Y/N) danced with every member of the Avengers and their off-realm guests to a wide variety of music; she requested Big Band tunes for Steve and Bucky and slower songs for Bruce and the Warrior’s Three, while Tony, Clint and Sam happily danced along with her to some faster pop numbers. Natasha pulled her into a ladies-only group dance with Jane, Darcy, Helen and Maria, and after a brief dance with Everett Ross, (Y/N) had their trio of DJ’s pause the music so she could reveal her surprise for Loki.
“I’d like to start out by thanking you all for being here with us today,” (Y/N) began as she stood before the crowded ballroom. “As I’m sure some of you know, I had a difficult road to recovery after the Battle of Boston. Sam suggested that I take up playing the piano again as a form of musical therapy, but I was hesitant at first; you see, my aunt taught me to play when I was a child and I stopped when she died because I couldn’t enjoy the music without her. Loki…” Her voice momentarily caught in her throat at the unexpected emotions welling up within her, but spotting her husband standing amongst the crowd helped her to steady herself and keep going. “Loki stayed with me every single time I sat myself at the piano. With him by my side, I found the strength to enjoy the music again and slowly but surely, I started to heal. Loki’s always been there for me when I needed him the most, which is why I’d like to dedicate this next song to my new husband.”
Peter and MJ plugged in the last chord as (Y/N) sat down at the electric keyboard they’d set up for her, both teenagers ducking out of the way with a whispered “break a leg!” while she adjusted the microphone and straightened her posture; seeing the curious expression on Loki’s face and the eager anticipation filling his emerald-green eyes, (Y/N) gave him a smile and a little wink before she began to play.
“Sweet, wonderful you, you make me happy with the things you do. Oh, can it be so, this feeling follows me wherever I go. I never did believe in miracles, but I’ve a feeling it’s time to try…I never did believe in the ways of magic, but I’m beginning to wonder why…” A widening grin played on (Y/N)’s lips as the guests took to the dance floor and started to dance to the spirited Fleetwood Mac tune while she sang. “I never did believe in miracles, but I’ve a feeling it’s time to try…I never did believe in the ways of magic, but I’m beginning to wonder why…” While the guests continued to dance, Loki approached the electric keyboard she was seated at and watched her fingers fly across the keys with an unreadable expression on his face. “Don’t, don’t break the spell, it would be different and you know it will. You, you make loving fun, and I don’t have to tell you but you’re the only one. You, you make loving fun, it’s all I want to do…you, you make loving fun, it’s all I want to do…you, you make loving fun, it’s all I want to do…you, you make loving fun, it’s all I want to do…”
When the song finally came to an end, the crowd burst into applause and their three DJ’s were quick to select another pop song that kept everyone out on the dance floor. (Y/N) thanked the teenagers for their help and crossed the makeshift stage to where Loki stood but before she could say anything, his arms were around her and he was dipping her low as his lips captured hers in a reverent kiss; when they were finally forced to separate for air, her husband straightened them both up but kept his arms wound around her waist and gave her a tender grin. “That’s the first time I’ve ever heard you sing, darling, and you sang that beautiful song just for me. Rest assured, I’ll treasure that moment for the rest of my days.”
“Thanks to our archer-turned-videographer, you’ll be able to watch it over and over until you get sick of it,” (Y/N) chuckled as she glanced past Loki to see Clint filming Natasha and Thor reenacting the famous lift from Dirty Dancing to the amazement of the dancers nearest to them.
Loki’s fingers gently took hold of her chin and guided her to look at him, and his love-struck gaze remained trained on hers as he slowly shook his head. “Never, my love. Now, how about a slice of cake and some Asgardian mead?”
Everyone gathered to watch (Y/N) and Loki cut their three-tiered wedding cake with one of his intricate daggers and after they’d indulged in their dessert, four of their grinning and slightly-inebriated teammates took to the makeshift stage; Natasha and Clint’s cheeks were tinged red, Sam’s sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and his bow-tie was missing, and Tony couldn’t contain his giggles as he stepped up to one of the microphones.
“Hey, guys! Great party, huh?” The crowd cheered and Tony nodded in agreement. “Well, you better hold onto your hats ‘cause it’s about to get even greater!”
(Y/N), who was standing beside Loki and catching up with both Pepper and Helen, looked over at her husband with eyes widened in horror. “He’s not about to give a speech, is he?”
“Not if he doesn’t wanna spend tonight sleeping on the couch,” The CEO replied before taking another sip of her champagne. “Trust me, he and I already had a lengthy discussion about what constitutes as appropriate wedding reception behavior.”
“In my experience, Mr. Stark tends not to retain information told to him in less than three sentences or in any tone other than pleasant.” The world-renowned geneticist let out a long-suffering sigh and watched the four Avengers setting up several more microphone stands. “Hence why he’s permanently banned from my laboratory.”
While Pepper gave Helen an understanding nod, Loki wrapped an arm around (Y/N)’s shoulders and gave her a comforting squeeze. “I’m sure that whatever they’re planning will be very touching…also, Romanoff stole Stark’s intended speech and vaguely threatened bodily harm if he attempted to improvise one; he may be an impulsive Midgardian, but he knows better than to find himself at the mercy of the Black Widow.”
(Y/N) chuckled as the lighting dimmed and all of a sudden, a spotlight landed on the two of them. “You see, the four of us up here got together and decided we wanted to do somethin’ special for our two good friends here. Like (Y/L/N) here mentioned earlier, she used music to help her out during her recovery and she’d play for all of us in the tower; so, we got together and figured that it was time we were the ones to play something for her…or rather, sing something for her. Hit it, adolescent DJ’s!”
The teenagers began to play an instrumental track of Frankie Valli and the Four Season’s ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,’ and Loki offered her his hand. “Shall we?”
With a smile on her face, (Y/N) nodded and allowed her husband to lead her to the empty center of the dance floor, slow-dancing along to the song’s pleasant introduction and biting her lip to keep from giggling when Tony and Sam started singing and Natasha and Clint provided their back-up vocals. “You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off of you. You’d be like heaven to touch, I wanna hold you so much. At long last love has arrived, and I thank God I’m alive. You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off of you…”
“Did you tell them that I like this song?” (Y/N) suddenly asked, her eyes narrowing in suspicion as she examined Loki’s overly-cheerful face. “Because I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned to any of them that I like this song.”
Loki merely arched a brow and his emerald-green eyes sparkled with mischief. “Now, why would I do such an odd thing as that?”
“Pardon the way that I stare, there’s nothin’ else to compare. The sight of you leaves me weak, there are no words left to speak. But if you feel like I feel, please let me know that it’s real. You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off of you…”
As the small instrumental revved up for the chorus, (Y/N) was twirled around in tight circles and before she could question her husband further, his voice suddenly echoed throughout the ballroom and sang, “I love you, baby!” (Y/N) gasped in disbelief when she looked over at the makeshift stage to see Loki standing at one of the microphones, and she laughed when she realized that her dance partner was a clone created from Loki’s magic. “And if it’s quite alright I need you, baby, to warm the lonely night, I love you, baby, trust in me when I say…” Loki was grinning widely as he sang and when his eyes found (Y/N)’s, he gave her a sly wink. “Oh, pretty baby! Now that I’ve found you, stay, and let me love you, baby, let me love you!”
“You really are a trickster,” (Y/N) remarked to Loki’s smirking clone, who merely shrugged and continued to sway them across the dance floor.
“When our friendship first began, my darling (Y/N) took it upon herself to introduce me to all of Midgard’s greatest literary creations and being the dedicated bibliophile that she is, she more than succeeded.” The real Loki onstage smiled as he held onto the microphone. “Each and every novel and play she recommended provided me insight into her beautiful mind but when it came to watching the filmed adaptations of her favorite literary works, I was able to observe just how they affected her…which is how I know that (Y/N) adores the scene in a certain modern Shakespearean adaptation when the handsome lead surprises the heroine with a public show of affection.”
(Y/N) felt her face warm and a reluctant grin spread across her face as she glanced back at the clone she was dancing with. “10 Things I Hate About You was the first movie we watched together when I joined the Avengers. I…I can’t believe you remembered that…”
The clone leaned down and pressed a kiss onto her forehead while the real Loki onstage continued to sing. “I love you, baby! And if it’s quite alright I need you, baby, to warm the lonely night, I love you, baby, trust in me when I say…Oh, pretty baby! Don’t bring me down, I pray, oh pretty baby, now that I’ve found you, stay, oh pretty baby, trust in me when I say…”
When the song came to an end, the clone vanished in a shimmer of green magic and as the crowd clapped and cheered, an impressed-looking Darcy leaned towards (Y/N) and yelled over the din, “Geez, is there anything that guy can’t do?”
“If there is, then I’ve certainly never seen it!” (Y/N) chuckled and when Loki finally made his way through the crowd, she looped her arms around his waist and smiled up at him. “That was beautiful, sweetheart!”
“It was a challenge to keep our rehearsals a secret and I might’ve downed a shot or two of liquid courage beforehand, but I’m glad that you enjoyed it.” He pressed a kiss onto the tip of her nose and grinned when she laughed at the ticklish sensation. “You surprised me with a beautifully-performed song, and I surprised you with a slightly-less conventional performance; I suppose that great minds really do think alike.”
“Okay, here’s another oldie for all you oldies out there!” Ned Leeds’ amplified voice announced and the opening notes of The Village People’s ‘Y.M.C.A.’ filled the ballroom, causing the guests to eagerly take to the dance floor.
Nearby, Jane frowned and turned to Darcy standing beside her. “Wait, did that kid just call us old?”
“Join the club,” Both Steve and Bucky quipped as Natasha and Jennifer Walters dragged them past towards the center of the dance floor.
“Oh, I love this song!” (Y/N) grabbed Loki’s hands and started to sway along to the catchy beat. “It was in The Office, remember? It’s the song that plays towards the end of the Café Disco episode!”
“You’re right, but I’m still confused as to why a song about a worldwide youth organization inspires such a visceral reaction in Midgardians.” Loki studied the dancers around them in curious amusement. “And what about it has anything to do with weddings?”
She ducked under his arms and spun so that her back was pressed against his front, craning her neck so that she could meet his gaze with a grin. “It’s a catchy, cheesy song that has the easiest dance moves in the world to perform. Doesn’t that make it the perfect party song?”
Loki shrugged and spun her back out to face him. “Only if one has the perfect dance partner to go along with it.”
“Then I suppose we’re in luck,” (Y/N) quipped, pressing a kiss onto her husband’s knuckles before manipulating his arms along to the song’s iconic chorus and dissolving into a fit of giggles at the absurdity of the God of Mischief dancing along to ‘Y.M.C.A..’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the moon was high in the star-filled sky and the reception inside Stark Mansion was beginning to wind down, Loki and (Y/N) snuck off to the gazebo they were married in and swayed to the slow music playing in the distance, surrounded only by the beautiful flowers and twinkling fairy lights that decorated the structure. (Y/N)’s head rested on Loki’s shoulder and his eyes were closed as one of his hands held hers against his chest, directly over his heart.
“Do you think that we’ll see Doctor Strange again?”
Loki thoughtfully hummed and nodded. “I’m sure we will, but not for a long while; I believe that the superhero lifestyle unnerved the poor fellow and I doubt he wants to incite the anger of any of our friends. As long as you continue to train and master your abilities, there won’t be a reason for that second-rate sorcerer to bother you again.”
(Y/N) lifted her head so that she could meet his gaze, a single brow arched as her (Y/E/C) eyes sparkled with delight. “So, are you finally going to tell me where we’re going on our honeymoon?”
“And ruin the surprise I’ve spent two months meticulously planning? Where’s the fun in that?”
“Loki, I have to know what sort of clothes to pack!”
“Darling, I don’t imagine we’ll be wearing any for the majority of the honeymoon.” Loki’s teasing snickers quickly transitioned to laughter when (Y/N)’s fingers mercilessly tickled his neck in retaliation. “All right, all right, I surrender! On Monday, you and I will travel the Bifrost to Karapiro, New Zealand and spend ten days at Lakeview Lodge; we’ll have the opportunity to visit Rotorua, the Waitomo Caves and even take a tour of-”
“Hobbiton,” (Y/N) gasped and Loki’s grin widened as her face lit up with excitement. “We’re going to see where they filmed The Lord of the Rings movies?!” When he nodded, she flung her arms around his neck and nearly tackled him to the floor with the force of her embrace, but he was quick to catch her and hold her up against him while she laughed in delight. “I have the absolute best husband in the world!”
Loki’s heart leapt in his chest when she called him her husband and when she moved her hands to cradle his face, he tenderly smiled up at her and replied, “Well, the best wife in the world deserves everything I can offer her and more, does she not?”
(Y/N)’s expression softened into a look of loving adoration, and the feather-light touch of her thumbs caressing his cheekbones nearly made his eyes flutter closed in bliss. “You know, I think about that day we first met in the library from time to time. I replay the entire scene my mind – how I stumbled and how you were by my side in an instant to catch me, how our eyes locked and my breath was nearly taken away by the way you looked at me, how my heartbeat sped up when I realized how much I enjoyed having your arms around me – and when I do, I thank the universe for sending a mischievous and misunderstood trickster to steal my heart that day.”
“When I think of that fateful day, I find myself thanking the Norns for sending a kind and passionate lost princess to spellbind me, body and soul,” Loki huskily replied as his eyes stung with the prickling of tears. “And I pray that she’ll never set me free.”
(Y/N), her eyes sparkling with unshed tears of joy, gently shook her head and leaned forward to ghost her lips over his. “As long as the trickster holds her heart, she never ever will. So…” She held her hand up and stuck her little finger into the air with the hint of a playful grin on her face. “Pinky-Promise?”
Loki laughed and adjusted his hold on her so that he could wrap his little finger around hers. “Pinky-Promise.”
Their lips finally met in a passionate and unhurried kiss and Loki sighed at the heavenly sensation of (Y/N)’s fingers carding through his hair, holding his beautiful wife in a tight embrace and smiling through the love-filled kisses they exchanged beneath the gazebo’s twinkling lights.

ten first lines
ahhh ok so the game is to list the first lines/sentences of ten of your fics to see if there's a pattern. My fics/interests are very scattered though lmao so let's see!! Thank you @tommarvoloriddlesdiary for the tag!
"The first godchild is born silent from the womb of the Titaness." (Press your bloodstained lips against mine darling, aka Persephone harrymort au)
"The room shimmers in the light of the chandeliers. Around him, they dance. They’re always moving, always partying. Even their food seems to shine, luscious and colorful fruits, delectable meats, spun sugar that makes his mouth water. Their faces are beautiful: high cheekbones and vivid eyes, along with red, red lips that smile perfectly, hiding sharp teeth." (hehehehehehe)
"When they climb off the train together, Hermione hugs him tightly and looks at him with deadly serious eyes. “Contact me if you need anything, ok? We’re always here for you.” The words ring hollow considering what they both know. " (It always leads to you in my hometown, unposted)
"The Boy Who Lived stands alone, in the midst of destruction." (End of the world (begin again), aka time travel au)
"Severus Snape was seventeen when he realized he’d made a mistake. Well, that’s not entirely true. He knew he made a mistake the word left his mouth, sixteen and humiliated." (Don't Search for me, you won't find what you're looking for, aka Severitus au)
"Howard Stark was a great man. Born with virtually nothing, he clawed his way to the top- just honest good work, he’d say proudly to anyone he asked. Howard’s Stark wasn’t particularly a good man though." (boy of ruin, man of stardust, unposted Tony Stark character study)
"If you had asked Narcissa Black about the worst thing that had happened to her when she was sixteen, she would give you a long look, and raise a single elegant eyebrow. She would tell you that she wasn’t quite sure, and laugh it off with that airy, aristocrat chuckle. What she wouldn’t tell you about was this." (Swallow me whole (choke on me) pt 1 of Black sisters character studies)
"When Andromeda Black is eleven years old, a hat sits on her head and declares her to be just like the rest of her family. The dungeons are cold and unfriendly, but she is a Black afterall so she keeps her head up." (Swallow me whole (spit me out) pt. 2 of Black sisters studies)
"From a young age, Bellatrix Black came to associate shouting with pain." (Swallow me whole (let the darkness consume me) pt. 3 of Black sisters studies)

We're Both Out of Time (2)
series masterlist
chapter warnings: this is a looong chapter lol; also blood; and mentions of suicide/death, mentions of sexy times, implied smut
Tumblr media
Chapter Two: Time After Time
"Where is my daughter?"
"I said where the hell is my daughter?!"
After you disappeared, the team had managed to keep Tony away from the unknown intruder long enough to lock him up in the interrogation room.
Once he was restrained, however, there was no stopping your father from going at him.
"Asshole! Tell me where she is right now!" Tony screamed, grabbing the man by the shirt and shaking him, but he didn't say a word.
"Tony, Tony," Steve tried to calm him, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him away from the man.
"No!" Tony shouted, breaking out of Steve's grasp, "he took my daughter," he said, pointing at the man.
"You know where she is now tell me or so help me God-"
"What?" the man finally spoke up, "What are you and God going to do?" he asked, a heavy accent slipping from his lips.
Tony nodded to himself before shrugging and punching the man in the face.
"Tony!" Steve shouted, both he and Natasha grabbing each of Tony's arms and pulling him back.
"You don't understand," Tony screamed, "he took my baby. She and Pepper are all I have..." he broke down, tears streaming down his face, "She's six years old. She's only six," he raised his voice again, "You bastard! She's just a little girl!"
The man simply smiled, a subtle laugh falling from his thin chapped lips, "I know who she is: Y/N Stark, daughter of the famous Anthony Edward Stark - Iron Man. The girl was my target."
"What do you mean: your target?" Natasha spoke up.
The man laughed again, "Now why would I tell you that? That would ruin the story."
"This isn't a fucking story," Tony sneered, "This is my daughter's life."
"Oh, but it is. A story, that is. Isn't that right, Captain Rogers?"
Steve looked taken aback as his entire team looked to him for answers.
"I don't know what you mean," Steve said genuinely.
The man shook his head, laughing again, "Yes, you do...or rather you will."
"Enough games," Clint said, limping into the room with a bandage covering his battle wound.
Natasha gave him a disappointed look for not resting, but he simply gave her one back as if to say he was fine.
He knew what his children meant to him. He couldn't imagine what losing one was like. He couldn't imagine what Tony was going through. He had to do what he could to help.
"Oh, goodness me, I'm so terrified of the wounded archer who has come to kill me," the man joked.
Clint smirked, leaning closer towards the man, "Tell us where Y/N is or you're going to wish the worst thing I did to you was kill you."
The man smiled a cocky grin before spitting in Clint's face.
Clint shook his head and quickly wiped his face, "Wrong choice, man," he said, walking over to Natasha.
She handed the archer one of her blades and he stalked over to the tied up intruder, pointing the sharpest part at him. Yeah, he was going to enjoy carving the man up for answers.
Before Clint could make any further threats, however, Tony spoke up, "Is she dead?"
There was a beat of silence and all eyes turned to your father, "at least answer me that...is she dead?"
The man hesitated, seemingly weighing his options before responding, "Your child lives," the man said.
Tony didn't know if he should be relived or not. Yes, you were alive, but he had no idea where to find you. What if you were trapped someplace worse than death? No, he couldn't think about that. He wouldn't think about that. He would simply focus on the fact that you were alive and dedicate all his energy into finding you.
Tony nodded before turning to Clint, "Find my daughter," he commanded cryptically, but Clint knew what he meant as he took a step closer to the assailant, prepared to torture any information needed out of him.
Before Clint could even start in on him, however, he was knocked off his feet by the no longer tied up man. He had been stalling the team and using the time to break free of his restraints and he wasn't going to waste any time. He stood up quickly, punching Clint in the face.
Clint was so taken aback he mistakenly let Natasha's knife fall to the floor as he stumbled backwards. Then, as quickly as the man had gotten a hold of the knife, he had it pressed up against Clint's throat.
Everyone except Tony raised their respective weapons in a threating manner towards the man as Clint sighed and closed his eyes.
"Don't!" Tony yelled, "he dies and we have no way of finding Y/N." Tony reminded his team, causing them to lower their weapons slightly, still ready in case the man made a move on Clint.
The man smirked, "Don't worry, if all goes according to plan, you'll see her again someday," he said, pulling the blade from Clint's neck and pointing it towards his own heart.
"The Scorpion shall rise again," he spoke cryptically before plunging the blade into his chest.
"No!" Tony screamed. running towards the man, but he was too late.
He watched in horror as the man crumpled to the floor, choking on his own blood. How was he going to find you now?
"FRIDAY, we need medics in here, now!" He vaguely heard Natasha command the AI, as the rest of his team rushed to his side, but there was nothing anyone could do. The man was gone…which meant so were you.
---
The green light was so blinding you had to shut your eyes to stop the burn it caused.
You remembered screaming...and a falling sensation. The sensation was just like on that one ride your dad took you on when you went to Coney Island for your birthday. You remembered being terrified then too, but your dad took you by the hand, looked you in the eyes and promised you that as long as he was around, nothing bad would ever happen to you.
You faced your fear that day, but right at that moment, he wasn't there to hold your hand. You were all alone.
Eventually, you hit something hard and all you felt was pain.
When you finally opened your eyes, you were overwhelmed to say the least.
There was a crowd of people standing around you, pointing and talking as you lay on the concrete ground.
"Where did she come from?" you heard someone whisper around you.
"She fell out of the sky!" said someone else.
"What is she wearing?"
You stood up quickly, looking around in every direction, before bolting through the crowd.
You didn't know exactly where you were running to, but it didn't matter. None of it mattered. You just knew you had to get out of there.
You had to find your father.
---
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Stop tapping her, Buck."
"She wont wake up."
"Tapping her won't help!"
"You don't know that."
"Wait, look, she's waking up."
"I told you it would work."
You opened your eyes, you saw two young boys standing over you. One was significantly smaller with blonde hair and one was taller with dark brown hair. Both looked to be about your age.
"Hello," the shorter one said, "I'm Steve, this is my best friend James."
"Call me Bucky," the taller one smiled, offering you his hand to help you up.
You took it smiling, "I'm Y/N."
"We just found you laying out here alone. Are you okay?" Steve asked once you were on your feet again.
You paused for a moment. No, you weren't okay.
You didn't know where you were. More importantly, you didn't know where your father was. You were alone and scared.
You shook your head no, causing Steve and Bucky to look at each other before turning back to you.
"Where are your ma and pa?" Bucky asked.
"My daddy - I don't know," you began to cry, "Last I remember he was tucking me in to bed."
"You can't remember anything else?" Steve asked.
You couldn't, so you tried again, but that was it. You didn't remember meeting the Avengers. You didn't remember the man who tried to hurt your father. All you remembered was the night before.
You shook your head, beginning to cry. The boys looked to each other again before Steve spoke up, “It’s okay, don’t cry. You’re okay."
After a few minutes, you dried you tears. looking up to see worry in the eyes of the two boys standing in front of you.
"Come with us," Bucky spoke up, "Come home with us until your Daddy comes back."
You looked up, an unspoken question in your eyes.
Steve smiled this time, "Bucky's right, we can't leave you out here alone."
You smiled at their kindness, "Okay," you nodded after a moment of consideration.
---
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Y/N! Happy birthday to you."
One year, 56 days, and 18 hours.
"Thank you, Mrs. Barnes," you smiled.
"I told you, you don't have to call me that, sweetie."
"I know," you smiled weakly.
When Steve and Bucky had found you, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes had taken you in, cared for you like you were their own, but what was meant to be temporary until your father came to find you, had now lasted one year, 56 days, and 18 hours. You missed it. You missed your life. You missed Pepper and your father.
"What did you wish for?" Bucky asked after you extinguished the candles on your slightly lopsided homemade cake.
It was a fair question, but one you didn't have the heart to answer.
You wished for your old life back, in truth. You wished to see your father again. Not that you were ungrateful for everything the Barnes' had done for you. No, not at all. You loved them, you did, but you couldn't give up on finding your father.
"A new dress," you lied.
Seven years old.
---
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Y/N! Happy birthday to you."
"I made your favorite, chocolate with vanilla frosting."
"Thank you...Ma" you smiled are you blew out eight candles.
Another year gone in the blink of an eye. Another year without your father. You hadn't given up on finding him, but you knew what he would say if he were there: that you had to keep living. Even without him. You had found a family with the Barnes'.
Suddenly, Steve and Bucky came barreling through the door, nearly knocking each other over.
"Shh! Shh!" Bucky hushed his best friend, "You'll ruin the surprise."
"It's not your surprise!" Steve argued.
"Details," Bucky laughed, holding the paper above his head where Steve couldn't reach it.
"Give it back, Buck," Steve complained.
"Boys," Mrs. Barnes scolded them.
"Sorry Ma."
"Sorry Mrs. Barnes."
Bucky handed Steve the paper he had in his hands with a nod and Steve timidly made his way over to you.
He held the paper out to you, "Happy birthday, Y/N."
You took it, smiling, before looking thoughtfully at it.
It was a portrait: a portrait of you, Steve, and Bucky.
"I drew it myself," Steve said.
"It's beautiful, Stevie. I love it. Thank you," you smiled.
Steve smiled back at you.
Eight years old.
---
And so, your life went on. It wasn't what you had expected your life to be, no, but it was a good life. It was full of love, health, and happiness.
The day Mrs. Barnes came to you with the official adoption papers, you remembered crying. Not tears of sadness, but tears of joy. You finally had a family again.
You would never forget the one you lost, but at least you were no longer alone in the world.
You hugged Bucky - you hugged your brother.
You knew your father would never stop looking for you, but until he found you, it would please him to know you were safe and you were loved. Afterall, 1922 was a long way from 2012...
---
"Oh come on, Steve! Just tell her already."
"No! Come on, Buck. You know I can't," Steve argued.
You hid in the hallway that led to the room where Steve and Bucky were debating, curiosity filling you as you listened in on their conversation.
"Oh please, I've seen you fall more and more in love with that girl everyday for the past ten years. You know she feels the same. Why can't you just-"
"Because she doesn't feel the same, why would she? Look at me and look at her!"
Jealousy filled you. Of course, who were you to think Steve Rogers could ever love you back?
"You know that's not true."
"Bucky, she's your sister! She's one of my best friends. She doesn't love me."
Now that got your attention. Was it true? Did Steve Rogers love you?
Mustering all the courage you had, you marched into the living room, grabbing Steve by the shirt and connecting your lips.
It was frenzied and it was passionate. It was full of love. Love that had been bottled up and hidden for far too long.
You both were too wrapped up in each other to notice Bucky leave the room. You smiled smiled into the kiss, "I love you, Steve Rogers."
Sixteen years old.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Y/N! Happy birthday to you," you internally cringed at your brother's off key singing, but a smile adorned your face never the less.
"Thank you, James," you smiled as he handed you a plain paper package with a brightly colored string.
"What is it?" you asked, lightly shaking it as to not damage anything that could be inside.
"You have to open it to find out!" Bucky yelled excitedly.
"Okay, okay," you laughed, tearing open the package.
What you saw brought a tear to your eye as you ran a hand over the silky fabric, "Is this -"
"Ma's," he smiled, "I thought you could wear it...on your wedding day."
When Mr. and Mrs. Barnes died, they had left their humble home to you and your brother. Steve lived there most of the time too, however, while he struggled to get back on his feet after his mother's death.
He had proposed about a year ago, but that was before the war started.
"Now if only I could find my soon to be husband," you said, unconsciously twirling the simple stone - that once belonged to Steve's mother - that wrapped around your left ring finger.
"You know where he is," Bucky smiled half heartily.
"Where he always is nowadays," you sighed.
---
"Next!"
Steve Rogers stepped up in line.
"Next!"
"But, Sir, I'm right here," Steve tried to speak to the man.
The large man looked Steve up and down, before gritting his teeth, "I said next."
---
"Hey there he is," Bucky cheered as Steve opened the door and stepped into the house.
"Hey, honey, we were just talking about you," you laughed, standing up to greet him at the door.
You bent down ever so slightly to kiss his cheek, "How'd it go today?"
Steve looked at you, pure adoration in his eyes before sighing, "How do you think it went?"
You intertwined your hand with his, "Maybe it's for the best, Stevie," you said, leading him into the house while Bucky covered up the gift he had just presented you with in order to conceal the surprise of what you would wear on your wedding day.
"You okay, Steve?" Bucky asked.
"You get your assignments?"
"Sargent James Barnes, shipping out to the 107th next week."
Steve frowned, turning to you, "And you?"
You sighed, "Special Agent Y/N Barnes. I leave in the morning."
"And they said a woman would never be sent into the field," Bucky scoffed, "my little sister had to go out and prove everyone wrong."
Steve and Bucky were proud of you, they really were, but some super secret organization made up of allies all over the world...they were terrified for you safety."
"I'll be fine," you said, "I promise."
"I know," Steve smiled, "I love you."
"I love you more."

When you joined the SSR you had no idea this would be your life. Sure, you knew you would be working on classified projects, but riding across New York in the backseat of a cab with you fiancé who was about to undergo some experiment to turn him into a super solider that could take down Hitler himself...that you didn't except.
"Y/N I-"
"Don't, Steve," you cut him off, "You could've written. You could have told me before you agreed to do this."
"I didn't know you were working on this project, Y/N!"
"And? If I wasn't on this project I would've never even known you joined the war. I'm going to be your wife. When were you going to tell me?"
"Y/N...if you don't want me doing this, I swear we can turn this car around right now. You mean more to me than any fight."
You rolled your eyes, "You're good with your words, Rogers. I'll give you that."
"So we good?" he asked.
You grabbed his hand, intertwining your fingers with his, "Let's do this."
---
"Agent Barnes, wouldn't you be more comfortable up in the observation booth."
"No, thank you, I'll stay right here with my fiancé, Doctor."
"Very well," Dr. Erkstine answered.
Turning his attention to the booth of onlookers, he tapped his microphone twice...
---
You loved Steve Rogers, you really did. You didn't care if he was a skinny kid from Brooklyn, you loved him for him no matter what. However, his newfound 'Captain America' physique certainly helped.
You moaned into the kiss you and Steve shared as he pushed you against the wall of the barracks.
When you both had to pull away for air, you ran your hands up and down his newly toned torso.
"So I take it you approve of me signing up for this project now?" Steve laughed.
You playfully slapped him on the shoulder, pushing him away from you.
Steve whined at the loss of contact before spinning you back into him so your back was flush against his chest. He rested his head on your shoulder, inhaling the smell of your shampoo.
"Stevie, you know we can't do this here," you sighed.
Steve began kissing your neck, causing you to sigh in pleasure. He knew your weaknesses.
It's not that you two hadn't been intimate before. You had, many times, but this time was different. Steve Rogers before the serum was the only man you had ever been with. Now, with this new body. You were intimidated to say the least.
"Since when did you get all this confidence?" you asked, spinning around in his arms so you were face to face, "Since this?" you asked, poking his chest lightly.
"I'll stop if you want me to," he said honestly, not answering your question. He didn't have to answer it though, you already knew the answer. He finally felt like someone who was worthy of you. That was insane of course, considering he always was, but never the less that was how he felt.
You knew he meant it too - that he'd stop. Of course he meant it. That was Steve Rogers for you: good. Plain and simple, he was a good man and you loved him.
You stood up straight to whisper in his ear, "Don't you dare stop, Rogers."
Steve smiled before picking you up and dropping you gently on the small bed in the dimly lit room.
---
"Can I ask you something?" Steve asked later as you two laid in bed together, simply soaking in each other's presence. .
"Anything," you said, looking into his deep blue eyes.
"Do you think I can do this? Lead an army? End the war?" he asked.
You kissed his lips softly, "You've always been brave, Steve. With a good heart. Willing to stand up for the little guy even when you were a little guy yourself. Now the outside just matches the inside. So yes, I think you can do this. I just hope you don't put yourself in too much danger trying to do what's right."
"I promise," he said, smiling. God, he loved you.
---
"So, where were you two last night?" Howard Stark winked, looking between you and Steve.
Steve's cheeks flushed red, causing you to laugh lightly before glaring at Howard and kissing Steve on the cheek.
When you first met Howard Stark through the SSR you knew immediately who he was. He looked exactly like the father you had lost with the same surname...it wasn't difficult to put the pieces together.
You remembered the night you told him who you truly were.
It was a late night at the base and talks of how the war would go had led to a little too much drinking.
"Anthony Edward Stark," Howard had repeated, "I have a son. I have a granddaughter."
"At least...you will," you laughed softly.
You were surprised Howard even believed you, but it did make some sense that he did. After all, he was a man of science. Time travel had to be in the realm of possibilities in his mind.
"I could find a way," he said.
"A way to what?" you asked, taking another swig of your drink.
"To send you back."
"Howard-"
"Y/N, your father must be worried sick about you...my son must be so worried about his little girl. It may take a while, but I could find a way."
"Howard, you know I would love nothing more than to see my dad again, but I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because I've lived an entire life without him!" you began to explain, "I'm not the same little girl he lost."
"If I raised him right then I'm sure who you are now wouldn't change the way he feels about you."
"You don't know that...besides. I have a life here now. I have a family. I have a brother and a fiancé. I love Steve. I can't just leave him behind to chase some little girl's dream of going home."
There was a beat of silence before Howard spoke again, "Does Steve know?"
"No, and he never can."
"What, why?"
"God knows if he'd even believe me."
"You should have more faith in him than that."
"Would you? If you didn't have a scientific background is there any chance you'd believe me?
"No, but-"
"Exactly: no."
"I've never met two people more in love than you two. There has to be another reason why you're keeping your past from him," Howard pushed.
You sighed mustering your courage, "He was there," you said, "I don't know how - at least I don't remember how - and I don't know why, but Steve Rogers, my Steve Rogers is still alive in 2012, and he looked...different, but he was as young as ever."
"How is that possible?" Howard asked.
"I don't know and I've spent most of my life trying to figure it out. I don't remember the day I was sent here, I never have, but there has to be some reason...some connection to Steve. I could rack my brain forever trying to make sense of all of this. Or, I could live my life with the man I love while I can before our futures take us wherever they may. I choose the latter."
"So...do I still look this good as an old man?" Howard asked, changing the subject.
You smiled, deciding for now it would be best to not tell him that you'd never met him before.
---
The week following Dr. Erkstine's successful experiment on Steve went by in a blur. Things were good, but then, everything changed.
When unknown mercenaries murdered the Doctor, Steve went after them, successfully stopping them from stealing the last bottle of serum, but also losing it in the process. With the Doctor gone, Steve was the war's last hope. There would be no army of super soldiers, just one man from Brooklyn. Of course, you had faith in him. Unfortunately, not everyone did.
"I asked for an army and all I got was you," the cornel had stated coldly.
Steve didn't want to give up though. He would fight in the war. He would do everything he could to protect his country and his family.
However, the world had different plans for him, he became a 'dancing monkey', traveling the country selling bonds. You had told him he was meant for more than this, but he was starting to lose that hope.
When he caught up to you again, his audience was not pleased with him. How could they be? The men before you had been through more than most...you just didn't realize how much that was until someone mentioned in passing that they were all that was left of the 107th.
"The 107th?" you and Steve both asked in sync, equal amounts of horror in your voices.
When Cornel Phillips handed you the condolence letter containing your brother's name, genuine sympathy laced his voice.
You immediately broke down, falling limp as you turned to face Steve. You just stayed there, crying in his arms, for a while, as he shed his own tears as well. He then squeezed you tight as he begged Cornel Phillips to let him lead a team to save any survivors.
When the Cornel refused, you and Steve had no choice, but to do it yourselves, consequences be damned.
With the help of Howard, you flew behind enemy lines into certain danger.
---
"I love you," Steve said, as he grabbed his parachute and prepared to jump out of the plane and into the enemy territory.
"I love you more," you smiled, grabbing your own parachute.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Well it tends to not end very well for people who jump without a parachute so I'm-"
"Y/N, you know what I mean."
"I'm going with you, Rogers."
"Like hell you are."
"Steve-"
"Y/N, no, it's too dangerous."
"Which is exactly why I'm not letting you do this alone!" you argued, "He's my brother!"
"I can't lose you Y/N," he whimpered.
"Then don't, watch my back and I'll watch yours, deal?"
"There's no convincing you otherwise, is there," Steve sighed.
"Nope," you stated plainly, popping the 'p'.
"Then we better do this," Steve said, squeezing you hand once before you both jumped.
"They're sickeningly adorable," Howard half laughed to himself, turning the plane around.
---
So you fought: saved what was left of the 107th; saved Bucky.
Steve got the chance to lead his army when you returned. With you and Bucky by his side.
Then, you lost Bucky all over again. It was just like the first time you thought he was gone, but so much more soul crushing.
Steve blamed himself of course, in the weeks after you remembered him apologizing to you. Even in your dazed with grief state, you begged him not to do so, but nothing would change how he was feeling. Steve was there when Bucky fell off the train. He was right there. If he could have just gotten to him faster...
There was no use dwelling on the past now. There were casualties in war, and that's what this was: war. You had a war to fight; a war to win and you were going to win it.
You weren't supposed to be with Steve on that plane. You had snuck on because you feared in his self destructive, weight of the world, blaming himself for Bucky's death state, he was going to do something stupid.
Of course, you were right, but you couldn't blame him this time. You both agreed bringing the plane down was your only option.
Steve begged you to find a way off, but there was no use. You wouldn't leave him. Even if you could you wouldn't.
"I do," Steve whispered.
"What?" you questioned as the plane began to descend into the Atlantic.
"Take you to be my wife - I do," he said with more confidence.
"Steve," your voice broke, "I do too."
"I know this isn't the wedding you imagined, but-"
"You're here, that's all that matters. So yes, I do," you said, tears streaming down your face.
"I now pronounce us husband and wife," Steve smiled, squeezing your hand from where he sat in the pilot's seat. Then everything went black.
---
Two weeks had past since Tony Stark had lost you, but you had lived an entire lifetime. An entire lifetime without him by your side.
He couldn’t eat, he couldn’t sleep. Pepper and the team had tried their best to get him to take care of himself, but all he cared about was finding you.
Steve wasn't much better. Although he wasn't sure how it was possible, he knew this child of Tony Stark had something to do with the love of his life who he lost.
When he woke up, he asked Fury about you first. Hundreds of questions on his mind, but all he cared about was you.
"She didn't make it," Fury had stated plainly, "I'm sorry Captain."
It made sense. He was able to survive because of the serum, but you, you weren't enhanced. You were fully human. How would you have survived? Still, those four simple words 'she didn't make it' crushed any hope he had left.
He just needed you back, they both did. Your father and your husband needed you back.
You saw that as you peered into the window of the Avengers Tower, formerly Stark Tower from where you stood on the street.
Nick Fury appeared behind you, "You shouldn't be here," he stated.
You turned around, coming face to face with the man, "I know," you said, "but you had to know I couldn't stay away forever."
"Then what are you waiting for?" he asked, "Go."
You smiled a weak smile before pulling on the door and entering the tower.

***This story is a little different than what I normally write about, meaning that it’s vore, specifically soft/safe vore with mpreg undertones, I don’t only write about weight gain fanfics just look at my profile description lol***
——————————————————————
It was a normal day for Peter Parker; the usual monotony and drudgery from school can get to one’s psyche, and so the teen found himself swinging around New York looking for any possible crime going on. He was sat on the edge of a building when he heard a ear shattering blast coming down the street immediately followed by panicked screams and an alarm ringing above the chaos. As the smoke cleared, Peter could see a group of men getting into a van holding a box.
Peter swing down and landed on the roof the van with a loud bang, “Hi guys, whatcha got there?.”
“None of your damn business,” said one of the men.
Peter jumped off the roof and leaned against the van nonchalantly. “Well, it is if you guys are causing so much chaos, and from the looks of it, it looks like you guys must be taking something that isn’t yours.”
Another man leaned out the driver’s side window holding a gun. “Unless you want something bad to happen to you, I suggest you leave,”
Peter knew this type of tactic, and decided to play along by raising his hands. “Hey, I don’t want any trouble, I’m just”-
It happened way too quick for even Peter to comprehend. He couldn’t see, or even sense the man pulling the trigger, almost like he didn’t even pull a trigger at all. The next thing was an excruciating pain that made Peter cry out as he we shot with what looked like an emerald green shard, it had penetrated the suit and his stomach. He fell against the van and slid onto the ground as the van pulled off.
Peter groaned. “K-Karen, call Mr. Stark, I need help,”
🫃🏼🫃🏼🫃🏼
Tony Stark was finishing a conference call with Japan for distribution for the newest model of the Stark Phone when he was alerted by Karen. He immediately jumped in his chair at the name of “spider-baby”. He did it as a joke, but the bond between the two was strong, it made Tony question whether or not Peter was the son figure he could practice on before he ever had kids of his own. He ended the meeting after giving the approval, immediately walking to his lab.
“FRIDAY call Peter,” he said as he walked down the hall.
“Right away sir,” the A.I. responded.
Tony could hear Peter’s strained coughing from the other end of the line. This caused him to panic as he began running into the lab.
“Kid, Peter what happened?.” Tony asked as he stepped onto a platform, holding his arms out before the suit was assembled on him.
“I was… shot, it hurts Mr. Stark,” the pain in his voice sucker punched Tony’s heart.
“It’s okay kid, I’ve got your location and I’m on my way over, no exceptions,” Tony said before flying off the building’s landing platform.
Lately Tony’s been feeling protective over Peter. At first, he was wanting to some distance away from being so attached to the boy. But after comparing the fact that that both Tony’s and Peter’s parents were dead helped put the first step toward creating the kind of pseudo father-son relationship they have. However, what the two don’t won’t say to one another, is that they both enjoyed being around each other.
After finding Peter hiding out behind a warehouse, Tony landed and immediately came out of the suit, running over to where he saw the boy laying next to a dumpster, his heartstrings being yanked at full force.
“Peter, it’s me, I’m here now, can you tell me what happened?.” Tony asked as he gently lifted the boy into his arms.
Peter coughed, “I was shot by someone,” he said and removed his hand to show the wound.
Tony cringed before quickly examining the small shard penetrating the skin.
“Look, I’m gonna take you back to the Tower, and I don’t want to hear another word about, understand?.”
Peter nodded weakly before Tony got back into his suit, carefully lifting Peter into his arms and smoothly flying above the city, keeping a firm hold of the boy close to his chest, uttering words of comfort to him as means of comfort to himself as well.
Tony landed back into the landing platform and made his way inside. “FRIDAY, tell Bruce to meet me in the medical floor right now,”
“Right away sir,”
“Everything’s gonna be okay, I’ll just get Bruce to look at you and see what we can do, okay?.” Tony asked as the robotic arms began taking off the suit of armor.
“Mr. Stark, I feel dizzy,” Peter mumbled.
“It’s gonna be okay, kid, just hold on,” Tony said, rushing into the elevator and pressing the button with a blue “H”.
“I-I don’t want to go,” Peter muttered. “I don’t want to die.” He glanced up at Tony with glistening brown eyes.
Tony’s heart was in a chokehold. “I promise, baby, everything will be alright, I’ll make sure of it.”
Peter furrowed his eyebrows. “Huh?.”
The elevator dinged just in time before Tony could give a great excuse. He jogged over to where he saw Bruce Banner waiting at the front desk in confusion.
“Hey, look we don’t have much time, so I need you to help me out with something really important,” Tony said, leaning towards Bruce to show Peter’s wound. “Like, right now.”
“Okay, let’s make this quick I gotta get back to the lab”-
Tony grabbed Bruce’s arm and dragged him along into the nearest empty bed. Peter groaned as he was sprawled out and felt the pain fully consume his body. He didn’t know what kind of bullet it was, but all he knew was that it was not like any other bullet. The pain felt similar to few times he experienced growing pains, each major joint in his body was in a pain that is tenfold compared to your typical growing pains, almost like his limbs were being pulled and pushed repeatedly.
After cutting off the suit, Bruce had further examined the shard-like object closely. “I’m gonna have him put under to help with the pain, and then I can remove it and stitch him up, of course he’s going to need a blood transfusion and some time to rest, but other than that he should be okay.” He stated.
Tony nodded as he petted Peter’s hair. He stayed by his side during the IV being put in, to being knocked out by the nitrous oxide, to seeing the shard getting pulled out, to seeing Bruce carefully stitch the wound, and to now sitting by the bedside holding the boy’s smaller hand in his.
He didn’t know if he should have alerted May Parker of the fact that her nephew nearly died, but also, he was worried about what her reaction might be if he did. Tony couldn’t help but ponder on the thought of his love for Peter was beginning to get stronger, and it scared the absolute hell out of him.
Tony stroked his fingers through Peter’s messy brown hair, leaning in and gently resting his chin on top of the boy’s head. He stayed that way, listening to the machines beep and looking at the way the boy’s chest rises and falls as his faint breathing could be heard. He knew full and well that there was soon no denying he loved this kid more than his own father ever loved him, and he was more than proud of that.
🫃🏼🫃🏼🫃🏼
Bruce was running tests on that shard in the lab. Luckily there was blood samples that he could take and do further research on how it may affect Peter. He sat there staring into the microscope looking at the cells to see if any visible changes were being made, at first nothing seemed to be happening, just the same blood cells that he’s seen countless of times before. He looked away to only jot down the time and current state of the sample, but when he looked back, however, things had changed.
After trying to zoom in as best as he could the cells appeared to become smaller, almost to the point where he could hardly make them out. Bruce, puzzled by what was happening, lifted the slide from under the clips and studied how the sample smear had now become smaller and faint.
As he was writing down a few notes his phone ringing caused him to jolt in his chair. It was Tony.
“Hello?.”
“Bruce, I need you to get here right now,”
The severity in Tony’s voice made Bruce’s heart rate speed up.
“What happened, what’s wrong?.”
“Just get down here now!.”
Bruce pulled the phone away from his ear before hanging up and quickly running to the elevator, pressing the “H” button and waiting impatiently as the doors slowly opened. He did not know what the blood sample was indicating, but he had a feeling that it was something that was not good, and that it may already be having an affect on Peter.
Bruce rushed to where he could hear Tony panicking to the doctors and nurses. He could not see where Peter was, however. It was like the bed was empty, as though the web-slinging boy had escaped. Bruce rushed over to Tony - who was currently screaming in the face of a doctor. He grabbed his shoulders and turned him around, the billionaire held onto Bruce’s smaller frame for dear life.
“It’s the kid, he’s disappeared,” Tony panted.
“Okay, just take a deep breath, it’s gonna be fine, we’ll find him.” Bruce said as he rubbed Tony’s shoulders.
Tony shook his head . “No, you don’t understand, I was going to the restroom and when I came back, he wasn’t there anymore.”
“Didn’t any of the staff see him leave?.” Bruce questioned.
“No one saw him,” Tony said. “One second he’s there, and the next, he’s gone like Houdini.”
Bruce looked over to the bed to see the IV and needle for the blood transfusion had been pulled out. He noticed faint movement under the white sheets. Carefully, he lifted the covers and his eyes grew wider than the moon, wider than the sun. He leaned forward and peered down at an extremely small Peter Parker curled up against the white bed sheet.
“P-Peter?.” He mumbled.
The boy looked up at Bruce with squinted eyes before backing away in fear of the doctor’s size.
“No, it’s okay, I’m here to help you,” Bruce said in a soft voice. “I’m gonna take you somewhere safe, somewhere less noisy, okay?.”
He could barely make out Peter nodding. He gently laid his hand next to Peter, gesturing him to get on. The teen carefully crawled onto the calloused hand, his arms wrapped around tightly on the index finger. Bruce gently lifted his hand close to his chest, cupping another hand around Peter’s miniature form to shield him against the world.
Bruce leaned over to Tony’s ear, “Come with me to the lab,” he said pointing to his cupped hand.
Tony’s face contorted in confusion as he glanced at the scientist’s hand. The two snuck away from the confusion that was surrounding the bed, making it just in time as the elevator doors began to close. Bruce and Tony glance down to see Peter still gripping Bruce’s finger, his tiny face never looking up at the giant men. Tony delicately rubs his finger on Peter’s miniature back, earning a scared look from the tiny teen.
“Don’t be scared, Peter, we’ll find a way to fix this,” Tony gently stated.
🫃🏼🫃🏼🫃🏼
Peter felt like burying himself in a hole. He felt so exposed and weak in Bruce’s gentle hold. His suit didn’t shrink with him, and so here he was nude in front of Dr. Banner and Tony Stark, two more people he admired most in his life, looking at him with so much pity.
Bruce made him a little nest out of a shirt he took from the closet to let Peter become more comfortable as he watched the two men.
“I think there was something in those ray guns he mentioned before,” Bruce stated as he held his head in his hands. “But it’s something I’ve heard, but never actually seen before.”
Peter lay there curled up in the fetal position. It was all too much, everything was happening so fast that he couldn’t even get the chance to register what was going on. He was finding it hard to breathe, his chest tightening more and more as he attempted to take a breath.
Tony leaned just a foot above Peter. “It’s gonna be okay, kiddo, I promise we’ll figure something out,”
Peter couldn’t speak, something in his mind did not allow him to form sentences or words. He was beyond scared, he was past the point of dysphoria, he was now in this state of catatonia and it was scaring Tony.
“So what exactly have you found in these samples so far?.” Tony asked.
“Well, apart from the size reduction, nothing else could be detected for now, but I’m sure that this will have to wear off soon.” Bruce stated as he was looked through the telescope.
Tony slouches down on the office chair with a loud sigh. He glances down at the nest on Bruce’s desk. Peter lays there nestled up in fear and exhaustion, his eyelids drooping as he struggles to fight off his sleep, his head drooping down as he goes deeper and deeper into sleep. His body finally goes lax, sinking further into the nest.
“I’m gonna go run some more tests, but he’s gonna have to stay here,” Bruce said and glanced down at Peter hugging onto the fabric of the shirt.
Tony nods. “I’ll watch over him, just find a way to fix all this,”
After Bruce leaves the room, Tony plops himself down on the chair in front of the desk. He leans over and rests his head on his arms, covering Peter’s form with the sleeve of the shirt nest. The tiny teen nestled further into the nest, resembling a newborn sleeping peacefully.
Tony groans before getting an empty coffee cup from the corner of the desk and filled it with tap water, taking a sip just before his phone started ringing. It was Pepper. Tony sighs before answering the phone.
“Yes, Pep?.”
“Where the hell are you? Did you forget that meeting with the Chinese marketing branch? Tony this is important-“
“Pep, I got a lot of problems over here-“
“Yeah, we’ll if you don’t get ever here, your problems are about to get worse,” Pepper said in a warning tone.
Tony sighed as he glanced down at Peter. “Look, I’ll be there in five minutes, how’s that?.”
“Just get here asap!.”
Tony sighed after Pepper hung up. He didn’t know what do to exactly, but what he does know is that he’s not letting Peter leave this room, nor is he leaving him alone with someone he doesn’t trust. Tony groaned before opening his phone and making a call.
“Hello?.”
“Hey, Steve, how you doing?.”
“Uh, I’m doing good, how about yourself?.”
“I’m fine. Uh, listen, I was just wondering if you weren’t busy at the moment, I have a big favor to ask you.” Tony anxiously pinched the bridge of his nose.
He could hear Steve sigh on the other end of the phone.
“What is it, Tony?.”
“You remember, Peter, right, underoos?.”
“Oh yeah, Queens, what’s wrong with him?.”
“Well, there was an accident with him, Bruce is in the lab running some tests, and I have Pepper calling me in for a super important business meeting and I have no one to watch the little guy.” Tony cringed as he finished his sentence, glancing down to thankfully see a resting Peter.
Steve sighed heavily. “Alright, but no tricks or pranks from the kid.”
“It’s done, but could you get here right now because I really have to go?.”
“Okay, okay.”
Tony sighed in relief. “Thank you, Stevie, I owe you one… I’ll have Happy pick you up from your place, bye.”
Carefully leaning towards Peter, just five inches away. “I’ll be back, just stay here and don’t go anywhere or touch anything,”
Tony then carefully tucked the boy in before quietly exiting the room. Not even two minutes later, the teen was wide awake. Peter scanned the room thoroughly, part of a sleep draped over his frame as he sat there in deafening silence. He curled in further as he remembered everything that had happened, shivering in pure fear at the thought of being so feeble in front of his idols.
Peter smacked his lips and cringed at how dry his mouth had become. He threw off the sleeve with a huff, examining the once more before crawling out of the large bundle, glancing over at the coffee cup Tony had poured his water in. With determination, Peter ran as fast as his tiny legs could let him.
He looked up at giant cup and then at his hands. If he could climb walls with his suit, then he should be able to climb anything without it. Peter rubbed his hands together before he pressed his hand on the wall of the cup, only for it to not stick. His eyebrows furrowed as he tried his other hand, but that one wasn’t sticking to the cup either.
‘Did my powers go away too?.’ Peter thought.
Peter huffed again before climbing onto the bottom half of the handle. It was just like climbing the rope in gym class, except he was almost microscopic and naked, but with determination Peter hauled himself up the handle until he reached the top.
Peering down into the void that was the half empty mug, Peter frown at the lack of water, thinking that if he could just carefully slide down the inner wall of the mug, he just might…
He lost his footing, falling headfirst into the shallow pool, not only knocking the wind out of him as he lay there in what felt like three feet of water, but knocking him out in total.
And by the time Steve walked into the room, there was no trace of Peter whatsoever. The soldier looked around, calling out for the teen, but was met with no response.
‘Maybe he’s in the bathroom…’ Steve thought.
Steve glanced over at the closed door to the restroom, he sighed, opting not to talk to the boy as he was doing his business. So he sat there on the edge of Bruce’s bed and waited, and waited.
He waited until he curiosity got the best of him, and Steve gently knocked on the door.
“Peter?.”
A beat, no response.
Steve knocked a little louder. “Peter, it’s me, Steve - Captain America? I came here to watch you while Tony was gone, he had to go to a meeting… are you okay?.”
A beat, and no response.
Carefully, Steve opened the door and walked in to see no one in there. He sighed again.
‘Maybe he went to get something to eat?.’ Steve thought.
Confused, Steve sat on the chair in front of the desk. At least there was a great view of the city, something Steve came to appreciate more now that it had been nearly eleven years since he’d been thawed from the ice, just to see the promised innovations come to fruition.
Five minutes go by and Steve could feel his mouth becoming parched. He grabbed the mug, feeling it’s emptiness, before going into the bathroom and filling the mug from the tap. Completely unaware of what the contents lay in the mug, he fills it nearly to the brim before taking a large swig.
Peter remained unconscious throughout it all. The contracting muscles in Steve’s throat were not enough to wake up the boy. The soldier grimaced as he swallowed another sip of water, much harder this time as to ease the slight itch in his throat. Peter slid further down the man’s gullet, falling deeper into the pit of his stomach, landing against the soft inner walls.
But as he made contact with the small puddle of stomach acid, the acid in the small area around him glowed a vibrant neon yellow, before completely fading away. Peter still laid there unharmed, but still unconscious.
Steve laid a hand on his stomach, groaning at the burning sensation building up his throat. He began gagging, leaning over the toilet as a small amount of bile left his body. He groaned as he hugged the bowl, another pang of nausea washed over him before puking up more bile.
Peter woke up in confusion. The place was dark, but warm and muggy, like a sauna. He felt the walls around him vibrate and violently contract, nearly squeezing him and trapping him.
He could hear a loud pounding noise in the distance above him. It was fast whenever the walls around him contracted, but as soon as they expanded, the loud thumping sound would become slower. Another sound that caught him off guard, was the sound of someone talking.
At first it sounded muffled, like the person had been speaking to him underwater, yet it sounded as though they were right in front of him. Peter stood up before slipping and landing on the soft surface, he tried again, this time crawling on his hands and knees as he navigated through the darkness.
Steve laid a hand over his stomach, feeling an odd sensation that he never felt before. He glanced down and noticed that it was slightly bloated. He caressed it before giving it a firm slap.
Peter was then knocked over by something hard hitting the wall, causing the small space he was in to become an earthquake simulation. He held his aching head as he walked over to the wall, giving it a slight kick. Curious, Peter kicked it again, this time with much more strength.
Steve stopped dead in his tracks as he looked down at his stomach. “What the…?.”
He lifted his shirt and poked his stomach.
Peter response to this was a faint push from his hands.
Steve’s eyes went wide.
🫃🏼🫃🏼🫃🏼
Tony had sent a message to Bruce about Steve, but he couldn’t answer because his phone was on silent and his attention was drawn more towards the sample he kept running tests on and kept looking under a microscope. In the first hour, there were no visible changes, but when he came back after five minutes, something else was happening.
The cells from Peter’s blood began to grow, but only when they were introduced to a source of heat. Bruce then tried leaving a small portion of the sample in a fridge, and this only concludes that when left in the cold, the cells shrink further to the point of disappearing entirely.
The scientist’s eyes grew wide in shock as before he pulled out his phone and was immediately met with Steve’s caller ID.
“Hello, Steve?.”
Steve sounded scared over the other end of the phone.
“Bruce, something’s wrong with me,”
“W-what’s happening?.”
“I don’t know, but I think I’ve got some kind of stomach bug, I’m not sure but this isn’t like a regular stomach virus… I can feel it moving,”
“Moving? Where are you?.”
“Tony asked me to watch Peter, he said he wasn’t feeling to well, but when I got here I couldn’t find him, I thought maybe he went to go get something to eat?.”
“What exactly did you do when you walked into my room?.”
“I waited for Peter to come, and then I got some water in one of your mugs and drank that, and the next thing I know it feels like there’s something inside me,”
Bruce took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. “Okay, I’ll be down there in a minute, just sit down and don’t do anything,” he said before hanging up.
Bruce bolted into action, going over to grab an ultrasound monitor along with a doppler, some gel, and a stethoscope and putting it all in his bag.
The ride in the elevator felt longer than usual. Perhaps it was his anxiety making time feel slower, that usually happens whenever it comes to an emergency. He bit his bottom lip as the numbers climbed up, before finally reaching floor. He rushed passed anyone in his way, his white coat flowing behind as he dashed all the way down the hall where he slammed open his door.
Steve jumped at the sound. Peter could hear it faintly, but he still flinched at the noise which sounded like that of a muffled gunshot. Steve’s hand landed over his stomach as he too felt the jolt inside, letting out a gasp, looking down at his stomach in fear.
“I came as fast as I could, what’s wrong?.” Bruce asked, setting down his bag on the desk, he looked at the bundle to find that Peter wasn’t there.
“Oh my god,” he mumbled in shock, turning back to face Steve. “Okay, when you said your stomach started to feel weird, that was after you drank water from the mug right?.”
Steve’s face twisted in confusion. “Yeah… wait, Bruce this isn’t making any sense, why does it matter that I drank from the mug, are you sick or something?.” He asked.
Bruce slipped on the stethoscope. “I’m gonna need you to lift your shirt up and lay down on the bed for me,”
“Bruce this doesn’t make any sense-“
Not wanting for Hulk to make an appearance, Bruce took a deep breath before slowly exhaling. “Steve, please just do as I say,”
Steve sighed before lifting up his shirt. His stomach had looked a bit bloated as he laid down on the bed. Bruce carefully placed the bell of the stethoscope over the pale skin of the soldier’s chest, his heart rate was normal, so that was a good sign. Hesitantly, Bruce moved the bell over on Steve’s stomach. The man froze with fear when he began to make out a distinct but faint thump thump thump along with muffled whimpers.
Bruce ripped off the stethoscope and went over to take out the ultrasound monitor along with the gel.
“What’s that?.” Steve asked
“It’s an ultrasound, I’m gonna see what exactly is happening in there,” Bruce weakly explained.
“B-But isn’t that for pregnant women?.” Steve asked nervously.
“Yes but it can be used for other things,” Bruce then took off the cap for the gel. “This might feel cold at first,” he warned before squirting the blue gel over his stomach.
Steve sucked in a breath of air as Bruce began moving the wand over his stomach. A small speck materialized in the black and white grainy screen. Bruce’s eyes blew wide open as he pressed the wand further onto Steve’s stomach. The speck then started to take form of a certain small boy curled up in a fetal position. Steve yelped as he felt another jolt in his stomach. Bruce yanked the wand away when he saw an arm push and the walls of the stomach.
“Okay, what the hell was that?!.” Steve asked.
Bruce licked his lips. “I know this is going to sound strange, but you’re not sick; from what I could guess, when you drank from the cup, you drank something else too.”
“Like what?.” Steve asked, whipping off the gel with the tissues on the nightstand.
“Well, the reason why Tony wanted you to look after Peter was because he was hit by something that caused him to shrink, and my best guess is that Peter woke up and wanted to see if there was something to drink in the mug, but he must’ve slipped in and you didn’t notice he was in there, so now Peter’s…”
Bruce gestured over to Steve’s stomach.
Steve’s glanced down, sighing heavily as he laid his hand on his stomach. “Okay, so how are we gonna get him out?.”
“Well, the thing is, I’ve been doing some tests on a blood sample I took from Peter. From what I could conclude, the only way for Peter to grow back to his normal size is if his blood is introduced to a source of heat.”
“Then that means…” Steve looked down at his stomach again. “Oh god, Bruce you have to do something!.”
“It’s going to be okay, just don’t panic, it’ll stress Peter out and he could easily go into cardiac arrest, just stay here and I’ll try to get Tony, okay?.”
Steve nodded, slouching back down in bed, his hand never leaving his stomach. “Um… Peter, I don’t know if you can hear me or not, but everything’s gonna be fine, just stay calm.”
Pete could this, and responded with a small push.
Steve gasped. “It’s me, Steve, Captain America, I promise everything’s gonna be okay Bruce is gonna find a way to get us out of this.”
Peter licked his lips. “O-Okay,” he called out to the dark space.
Steve shuddered as he not only heard Peter’s voice, but felt it reverberate in his stomach. He rubbed his stomach gently in the hopes of keeping the boy (and himself) calm. Out of all the things he had encountered, this was the most strangest, but somehow touching things Steve has been through.
Just as Peter was about to try and get comfortable, his body began to ache, like the growing pains he experienced before when he was thirteen and at the beginning of puberty. And then, the space around him felt slightly less spacious than before.
Steve could feel his stomach starting to feel full, and his mind tried to ignore the fact that this was, indeed, the start of many growth spurts.
🫃🏼🫃🏼🫃🏼
Nearly an hour had passed, and Steve was beginning to show. He looked as if he’d binge ate and could feel the pressure buildup. Peter tried his best not to move around as much, but with the space becoming tighter and smaller he had no other choice but just to stay in the same curled position for the first hour. Steve would often talk to him, to try and help lighten the situation, his hand never leaving his stomach.
“Uh, Captain, Mr. Rogers?.” Peter asked in a hushed tone.
“Yeah?.” Steve asked, his gaze never left his stomach either.
“If Dr. Banner and Mr. Stark can’t get me out of here, and if anything happens to you, I just wanted you to know that I’m sorry this had to happen to you.”
Steve could feel a pang of empathy, along with something he couldn’t describe, punch his heart harder than any man who tried to swing at him before. He laid both hands on the bulge in his stomach, hugging onto it, hugging Peter.
“You don’t have to apologize for anything, you’re a victim here, and I promise nothing would happen didn’t I?.”
“Yeah…” Peter’s voice faltered. “I’m just… scared,”
Steve could feel him sobbing and his breathing uneven. His heart was now on full empathy, comfort and care mode.
“Hey, it’s okay, it’s gonna be okay, shh…” Steve rubbed his stomach tenderly.
Peter could feel this, his back was being soothed by the gentle pressure Steve was applying. He decided that it would probably freak Steve out if he saw Peter’s facial features pressed up underneath his skin, so he had kept his back facing the outside of his stomach, and his body facing inwards, almost like he was hugging onto to him inside.
The next thing he knew, Steve was humming a tune. His tone rumbled all around him, encasing him in the sweet melody. Peter recognized the song as soon as Steve muttered the lyrics. It was “In The Mood” by Glen Miller.
Aunt May told him that his parents danced to this song on the night of their wedding, so listening to this made him feel relaxed as he nestled into the warmth. Another surge of pain rattled his body, and soon enough the space began to feel tighter, but the pain was more unbearable than the compact feeling.
Steve stifled a groan as another growth spurt started. His stomach ached and grumbled with pain as the content inside grew in size. He glanced down to see his stomach was in the beginning stages of looking like he was in his first trimester, a beach ball size was capable in no less than an hour. With nothing else to think of, Steve held and rubbed his stomach as he continued to sing and hum the song, hoping that Peter wouldn’t start freaking out.
“Uh, Mr. Rogers…?.”
“I know, just try not to move so much,” Steve grunted as he sat up, leaning against the pillows he propped up against the headboard, he sighed with relief. “There we go, I was starting to have some trouble breathing, not that any of it’s your fault, it’s not.”
Peter sighed at the new position he was in. He was now sitting rather than laying, but he could feel himself sliding down in the tight space, he could also hear Steve moan in relief as his stomach dropped, his hands cradling his newly formed and small belly.
“That’s much better, thank you, Mr. Rogers,”
Steve chuckled. “Call me Steve,”
“We’re on a first name basis?.” Peter looked up.
“Well, given the situation we’re in, I think it’s safe to say that we’re good in knowing almost every aspect of our lives,” Steve laughed, holding his little belly as he did.
The laugh made the space around Peter become cramped, but in a way that felt like a hug. It also felt like he was being lifted into the air, like how uncle Ben did to him when he was younger. Peter giggled at this, relishing in this moment of joy that he hadn’t genuinely felt in a long time.
Peter groaned as another sharp pain shot through his body and the space was now becoming a bit tighter.
Steve held onto his belly as it grew three sizes, moaning at how big he was getting. His shirt was beginning to lift up, revealing a sliver of pale skin, he held it close as he continued to grow.
A loud and sharp ping echoed throughout the room. Steve reached down and felt his pants had been unbuttoned on their own, the button was no longer there, and the zipper was being pushed down by the now beach ball-sized belly. His shirt rode all the way up to his robust pecks, showing off his now pregnant-looking belly to the world.
Peter looked up. “A-Are you okay, Mr. Rogers?.”
Steve inhaled heavily, trying to get used to the newfound pressure that had been building up. He rubbed his belly, looking down to see a more distinct outline of Peter’s body compacted into the small space. Steve cradled his belly close, rubbing small circles on Peter’s back.
Steve took in a quick breath of air. “I’m okay buddy, just stay calm, I’m sure Bruce and Tony are on their way,”
A beat of silence filled the room again.
“Did you want to become Captain America?.” Peter asked hesitantly.
Steve furrowed his eyebrows. “What?.”
“When you became Captain America, did you want to do it, be a superhero?.”
Steve’s mind went blank for a moment; he never got that question before.
“I mean, I wasn’t meant become a superhero, I was just a soldier doing his job. But sometimes I think of what life would’ve been like without the serum, without being frozen.” Steve said, arms still wrapped securely around his belly.
“I know you wanted to go back to the 40s, to be with Peggy Carter, but how come you stayed here?.” Peter asked.
Steve sighed heavily, the muffled woosh of air echoed above Peter.
“I stayed because I have everyone here,” Steve said. “Natasha, Tony, Sam, and Bucky… and now you.”
Peter smiled warmly before nestling further in. “Thank you, Steve,”
Steve smiled as he felt Peter move and rubbed his belly. “You’re welcome buddy,”
The pair laid there in the newfound bliss. Steve rubbed his belly until Peter began nodding off to sleep.
Just outside the door, Tony and Bruce watched the scene play out. Tony had pulled his phone out and recorded a video of Steve smiling at his stomach as he stroke it. He was usually his sarcastic and stand-off-ish self, but something about watching the moment made Tony smile to himself, something paternal radiating inside him like rays coming off the sun.
Bruce opened the door and walked in with a box of supplies. Steve didn’t take his gaze off the box.
“So how’s the father-to-be doing?.” Tony joked.
Steve rolled his eyes before putting a finger to his lips. “He just fell asleep,”
“How’s he doing?.” Bruce asked, taking out his stethoscope and laying it on Steve’s belly where he saw Peter’s back.
“He’s okay, he’s just really scared, I’ve been comforting him,”
“I think after this he’ll be way closer to you than he is now,” Tony smiled, gently rubbing in stretch-mark lotion onto Steve’s lower belly.
The super soldier moaned in delight. “Thanks, Tony,”
“No problem, Stevie,”
Bruce takes off the stethoscope from his ears. “Thankfully his breathing’s okay, his heartbeat is normal too, but I don’t think the growth spurts are going to stop, when was the last one?.”
“About a minute ago-“ Steve groaned again, holding his belly as it started growing again.
Tony held Steve’s hand as he watched this, his other hand still resting on the bottom half of the belly.
“Just breathe in your nose slowly and out your mouth,” Bruce instructed.
Steve nodded and took deep breaths.
Judging from the size his belly was, Peter was close to his full body size, and Tony began to worry.
“Okay Bruce, what’s the plan?.” The billionaire asked.
Bruce sighed as he sat down on the edge of the bed. “So, since Peter’s already late in this stage of his regrowth process, our options are that we basically freeze you both and Peter shrink down in size again, or we surgically remove him, or - and this is just a theory - but we freeze you just until Peter could be moved lower and lower until you could practically “deliver” him.”
Steve sighed heavily, rubbing the side of his belly. “What happens if I get him surgically removed at this size?.”
Bruce sighed. “Well, the odds of you recovering are slim, if anything the chances of you even surviving this are extremely thin given the situation,”
Tony threw his hands in the air. “So why recommend it to begin with?!.”
“Tony be quiet you’ll wake up Peter!.” Steve whisper-yelled.
The boy in his belly shifted, rubbing his eyes with the palm of his hand. “Steve?.”
“It’s okay Peter, Tony and Bruce are here,” Steve spoke in voice so gentle, Tony thought he was listening to a different person.
“Mr. Stark?.” Peter spoke weakly.
Tony leaned over to Steve’s side. “I’m here, kiddo. How are you holding up in there?.”
“I’m fine, I’m just nervous,” Peter said in a stuttered voice.
“Don’t be, I’m here and Bruce is gonna make sure nothing happens to you or Steve,” Tony said reassuringly.
“How?.” Peter asked.
Steve sighed and held his belly close. “Well, they’re going to find a way to shrink you down a little, and then they’ll get you out from there,”
“But how?.”
“Well, if I get a surgery done, then that’ll be more complicated for me because you’re still in my stomach, and that’ll be harder to do since we don’t have all the things ready. But there’s also another option that we could get you out at this size, but I don’t think that’ll be any better. Then there’s another option, and probably one that I’m going for, are you ready to hear it?.” Steve asked.
“Sure…”
Steve sighed heavily. “We can shrink down to a certain size, and then I’d basically… push… you out,”
The room stayed quiet as they all cringed at the thought.
“Won’t I get hurt? Like digested?.” Peter asked.
“I mean you’re still alive, by now you’d be dead from the stomach acids dissolving away your muscles-“
Steve kicked Bruce’s leg, giving him a warning glare as he rubbed his belly.
“There aren’t any acids from what I could tell, I can’t feel any liquid around me,” Peter explained.
“Well that’s good,” Tony said. “So he should be okay making it through to the end, right?.”
“I mean, since there’s no acids digesting him to waste, I think it’s safe for us to go down that route… Steve, Peter what do you guys think?.” Bruce asked.
“Just as long as none of us die, it’s good to me,” Peter called out from within.
Steve pulled his belly closer and nodded. “Okay, let’s do it,”
🫃🏼🫃🏼🫃🏼
It took nearly three hours to shrink Peter down to the size of an apple. Steve lay there shivering in the thirty bags of ice Tony had FRIDAY order. He had stripped down to nothing before being lowered in, gripping onto the sides of the tub as Bruce covered his belly with ice, even going so far as to turning on the cold water to fully envelope his large body. Tony had made sure a stack of warm towels lay close by, along with a bath robe for Steve.
Steve moaned as Tony and Bruce tried helping Peter move into the right position. His head pointing downwards so he could find the pyloric sphincter.
“You should feel it getting tighter, like entering a small tunnel,” Bruce called out.
“I can feel it!.” Peter said.
Steve moaned. “He found it, good job, buddy,”
“Okay, Peter, this is where it’ll get tricky, but just keep following to where the tunnel will lead you.” Bruce instructed.
Tony held Steve’s hand in his. “How do you feel?.”
“Like a baseball is falling down my body,” Steve muttered.
“Don’t worry, this is just the beginning,”
“Why do I feel like this is some elaborate set-up to make it look like I’m giving birth?.” Steve asked.
Tony smirked. “Do you honestly think I’d make you and the kid suffer like this?.”
“No, but this outcome feels a whole lot like degrading me,”
“I just don’t want anything to happen to you or the kid, I can’t risk losing anyone else,” Tony said in a sincere tone.
Steve smiled softly, squeezing Tony’s hand as he felt Peter move further down. “When he’s out he’s gonna need a heat source, let me hold him afterwards, okay?.”
“Of course,”
Steve groaned again, putting Tony’s hand in the worse death grip he ever had in his entire life.
Bruce could feel Peter was getting closer to the lower intestine. “Pretty soon you’re gonna have to start pushing, and whenever that happens it feel like you to-”
“I get it, Bruce,” Steve said.
Bruce nodded, grabbing a jar of Vaseline. “This will be needed too,”
Steve cringed and could feel Peter getting lower and lower.
‘This isn’t his fault, this isn’t his fault, he’s just as much of a victim as you are…’ Steve thought.
“Oh god!.” Steve howled.
“What’s wrong?.” Tony asked in a concerned voice.
“He’s grown a little, he does feel so small like he used to,” Steve groaned again.
“Let’s just give him some leeway,” Bruce said, before massaging Steve’s lower bloated torso.
The super solid moaned in pleasure as he felt Peter’s form gliding further down. His eyes bulged when he felt the feeling.
“Okay, I think it’s time,” Steve said lifting his legs it of the partially melted ice.
“I don’t know how this will work… I can’t really feel his head, so I suggest you gently push just to get him closer, when you feel a… burning sensation… that’s when you would start pushing, but don’t push too hard or too long, he might suffocate.”
Steve nodded before pushing down. He could a lump going further down, groaning in pain. He took short rapid breaths before bearing his teeth and giving another slight push. With the help of his body trying to get its occupant out, and Peter shimmying his way closer and closer to Steve’s hole, a pain like none other had ignited in him.
“Oh god, I can feel it coming!.” Steve said with tears flowing down his face.
Tony held both of Steve’s hands as Bruce began to lube his hole.
“Alright, Steve I’m gonna need you to give me a big push when I count to ten, alright?.”
Steve nodded getting his body ready.
“Okay… 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 relax.”
Steve let out a huge gasp as he gripped Tony’s hand.
“His head’s almost out, just two more big pushes and he should be out,” Bruce explained.
Steve groaned again as he could feel another growth spurt. He took a deep breath, pressing his chin to his chest as he started pushing again.
Bruce gently pulled Peter’s head out. “His head is out, we just need to get passed the shoulders,”
“You’re doing good, Steve,” Tony wiped the sweat off Steve’s forehead.
Steve took in another deep breath and pushed, grunting and grinding teeth.
“I got one shoulder, just another push,”
Steve pushed harder, tears seeping out from his clenched eyes.
“Okay, you’ve passed the shoulders, just one more big push and it’s over,” Bruce said.
Steve inhaled, his chest rising, and heaved with all his strength, a vein coming out in his forehead.
And suddenly, with a giant sigh of relief, Steve fell against the tub, his flushed red skin slowly going back to its normal hue.
Bruce immediately lifted a pineapple-size Peter out from the water. Tony scrambled to get him a towel wrapping as much as he could around the small boy. Bruce gently pried his finger into the boy’s mouth to induce his gag reflex. Peter began to gag and cough, spitting out whatever fluid he had in him, the burn of fresh air stung his lungs, causing him to wheeze as he inhaled.
“Is he okay?.” Steve asked weakly.
Tony nodded and brought the boy close to show Steve.
Steve gently brushed his finger over the small face. “Help me up,”
“Are you sure you should stand after that?.” Tony asked.
“I want to hold him, he needs to get warm and so do I… get me the robe and some towels,” Steve gruffly instructed.
Bruce and Tony shared a look before nodding. Bruce gently lifted Steve out of the tub, wrapping him in a towel to quickly dry him off before offering him the blue bath robe. The pair shuffled carefully over to the bed, pulling off the covers and allowing Steve to lay down, with Tony following closely behind as he cradles Peter.
Bruce went over to the closet. “I have an electric heating blanket, this should help,” he said, plugging in the blanket and setting it at a high temperature.
Steve opened his arms out. “Lay him on my chest,”
Tony gives a quick nod before setting Peter down on the blonde’s broad chest. Steve wraps his arms around Peter, finally hugging him and listening to his little whimpers as he shivered in his embrace. Bruce laid the blanket over them, with the top of Peter’s head peeping out near the edge. Steve rubbed his little back as he laid there in peace, the weight of the boy was becoming heavier as he began to slowly grow back to his normal height.
Tony knelt beside the bed as he watched the pair. His eyes stung with tears threatening to spill. Bruce sat down on the chair near the desk, watching the scene play out like a cheesy rom-com.
Peter shifted, his doe eyes looking up at Steve. “S-Steve…?.”
“It’s okay, Peter, you’re safe now,” Steve said, resting his cheek on the boy’s head.
Peter looked up to see Tony with watery eyes. “Mr. Stark?.”
“You gave us a scare back there kid,” Tony said, petting the wet locks of brown hair.
“I’m sorry about-“
“Don’t even start, this wasn’t your fault,” Tony said.
“Just as long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters,” Steve said softly.
Peter let out a yawn before resting his head right above Steve’s heart. His eyelids dropped lower and lower as he heard Steve’s comforting heartbeat.
“Rest up, kiddo, you too Cap… you two deserve it,” Tony said, tucking in the blankets
He and Bruce exchanged looks before leaving the room, taking one last glance as Steve drifted to sleep, holding Peter tightly to his body. Tony took one last picture, smiling to himself before closing the door.
“He should get back to his normal size in an hour or so,” Bruce said.
“Mhm,” Tony hummed.
“So, what do you think about Steve replacing you as Peter’s father figure?.” Bruce joked.
Tony scoffs. “Please, if anything Steve’s become more of a mommy than a daddy,” he quipped. “If anything those two will be like peas in a pod, all cozy in their solitude.”

i've been lss to cruel summer for almost a month now and idk if u have an ironwidow idea for that song but maybe a drabble/hc please :cc
omg so i finally decided to do this because i'm doing some ironwidow writing today, and i figured i'd use this as a warm up! don't worry, anon, ironwidow + cruel summer has been living in my head rent free since you sent this to me
so the background: nat and tony have been casually sleeping together in secret after age of ultron. civil war happens, but instead of everything going bad, the avengers actually come out okay (an civil war au! concept i have actually not done lol). also bruce and thor are just gonna be there don't @ me. anyways tony and steve make it back from siberia to give a speech to the un about the conditions on the raft, and idk i just wanted to write something pure and happy i don't even care if it's ooc don't sue me haha
cruel summer | ironwidow | g
"Almost a decade ago, I stood before the press, in a room much like this one, and told the world I was Ironman," Tony says from the dais, feeling an unexpected, unusual strength from knowing that Steve is nodding along right behind him. "It was the biggest thing to ever happen to me. Then, four years ago, I became a part of something bigger."
He looks directly at the Chairman. "And the UN doesn't have the ability to break it. We'll listen to your proposal. We'll consider new protocols. But the world needs the Avengers."
One of the UN members stands up. "You are not above the law!"
Tony raises an eyebrow, gesturing to Bruce, who stands on his other side. With one press of a button, the conditions of the Raft are visible on the large screen behind him. "But you are?" Tony retorts, as pictures of their teammates and other imprisoned Inhumans are revealed. The room can't contain their gasps of surprise and horror.
The Chairman stands. "This - this is not the UN's doing."
Steve steps in. "Yes, it is. The UN chose Thaddeus Ross to lead this project. And this is what his solution is." He brings a strong hand down on Tony's shoulder. "These people you have vilified are our friends and teammates. We will not stand for this. The Raft needs to be shut down. Now."
The Chairman nods, glancing around the room to see others agreeing. "We will release your team, but you must-"
"Uh! No conditions," Tony interrupts.
"But-"
Just then, the doors burst open, and Tony's heart starts to pound harder as Natasha Romanoff strides through them, confident and proud. Behind her is the rest of their team, watching her blind spots and holding back the security that apparently tried to stop them. He's shocked to see Thor as well, hammer in hand, an arm around Wanda to hold her up as she is still clearly feeling the effect of the draining collar. His expression is fixed and serious. "Your efforts to release them will not be necessary, Chairman," she says, low and almost smirking. "Now, if you could listen to Mr. Stark, I'm sure you'll find we're quite ready to negotiate."
Tony is uncharacteristically speechless. The last time he had seen this woman, he'd called her a triple imposter and ended their physical relationship, despite knowing deep down that her actions had been justified and after this summer, this beautiful, warm, happy summer, that all he wanted was to make things between them official. "No," he says, short and sweet, almost involuntarily.
Natasha's eyebrows hit her hairline. Steve sputters next to him. "No?" Bruce says quietly, clearly confused. Of their team, it is only Thor who studies him for a moment before smiling, realizing where his attention is focused. He's felt the same, when he sees Jane after a long separation.
Tony's eyes, of course, are fixed on Natasha.
"Tony-" She calls, warning.
"The Avengers have plenty of lawyers," Tony says, almost casually, as he makes his way down the dais. "I'll leave you all the cards of our legal department." He picks up his pace as he begins to stride up the middle aisle. "Propose what you want. For me," he adds, beginning to breathe harder. "I have my own proposal to make."
Two steps later, and he takes Natasha's waist in his hands at the same time he takes her lips with his.
She hums in surprise, but he doesn't give her time to push him away, pulling back to look her directly in the eyes.
"I'm sorry." He brings her hand to his lips. "For what it's worth, I love you." He kisses her thumb, then her palm, then her wrist. "Ain't that the worst thing you've ever heard?"
Natasha, to her credit, somehow keeps her expression somewhat neutral, even though she must be shocked at his very public, very loud confession. Tony has no luck, blinking back tears. He's not sad, not angry. Whatever he's feeling, it's just too much to keep it inside. "It's not cool anymore. I want rules. I want you. This summer with you was the best summer of my life, but now, if I can't have your heart, it just feels cruel."
He barely hears Steve behind him, wrapping up his speech with their ultimatums, but he does feel all the eyes in the room on them.
Finally, after what seems like an eternity, Natasha gives a shuddering breath. "You're a handful, you know," she says, still even and neutral. "Doing this here."
"I know," he says. "But you're here. You came back, and you brought the rest of our team with you. And I know you. I know you wanted to run." I know, he says silently. I know what it took you to take this chance, because it's the same chance I'm taking now. I know, he thinks, but you love me anyway.
"It's not," she says, abrupt but somehow warm, a tentative smile growing. "It's not the worst thing I've ever heard."
Tony grins, then, and it's blinding. "I'll take it."
He pulls her closer, kisses her again, but it's different this time. It's more. She tastes amazing, smells even better. He breathes her in, and he grins against her mouth when her hands thread through his hair. He feels flashes go off, but they don't phase him. He hears Thor cheer, feels Steve and Bruce come up behind them, can practically see Clint's grin. But it all feels dull, echoey, compared to Natasha in his arms. His world has exploded into color and light, and he realizes he's actually crying, which should be embarrassing, but it's not. Nothing is. Everything, for once, is right.
When she pulls away, he watches her hide her own wide smile in his chest. That's okay, he'll keep her secret. He'll keep them all, locked away in his own heart, where hers lives too now.
"Hope you enjoyed the show," he calls out. "Call our lawyers. Avengers, out!"
Steve slaps his back. "Hey, that's my job," he teases.
Tony mock-gasps. "Is this the trauma that finally allowed you to grow a sense of humor, Cap?"
They start to file out of the room as the UN descends into chaos behind them. "No," Bruce says, "it's the relief that we can finally talk about you and Nat clearly dating."
"We were so stealthy though!"
Clint laughs. "You definitely weren't."
He looks down at Natasha, who's smiling and shaking her head. "I thought you knew that we were dating this whole time," she teases.
"You mean my whole confession was for nothing?" Tony pouts, but he can't hide his joy.
She straightens his lapel. "Well," she says evenly, "I suppose it was nice to hear aloud. But Tony, you tell me everyday, in your own way."
"Well," he hums as he pulls her into his arms again. "Now I'll tell you twice a day. Once my way, and another time, the way I should've been doing this whole summer."
Natasha reaches up to kiss the corner of his mouth. "I'll take it."
The rest of the team files onto the Quinjet, leaving them alone in the hangar for a brief moment. He turns serious for a brief moment, nuzzling her hair. "Take me," he pleads, quiet and earnest.
"Always," she promises, just as solemn. Then, she smiles. "Now c'mon, we have work to do."
He mock-complains, but goes easily as she pulls him to onto the jet.
He'll follow her anywhere.
