Midwinter Carol 7 / The Interrogation
Tumblr media
Pairing: Ascended Astarion x Female Elf Sorceress OC
Word Count: 2.3K
Story navigation: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Summary/Setting: Based on the prologue/premise from my OneShot "A Midwinter Carol."
Astarion and the OC broke up after his ascension. She left Baldur's Gate for fifteen years, only to return just recently. Following the events of "A Midwinter Carol," Ascended Astarion has been convinced to pursue a new beginning. Will he be able to change who he has become, with the help of his ex-lover? Or will he ultimately fall victim to his pride and desire for power?
Preview:
Another surge of acid through his veins. Another healing potion. The Lord sits quietly next to Ani and watches the slow rise and fall of her breath as if in contemplation. Her fever finally broke not long ago.  Her arm is still deteriorating. Astarion leans forward and brings his bloodied, cracked hand to gently stroke her cheek along that tiny patch of vitiligo. And then he lifts two fingers to his lips, kisses them, and presses those fingers against that same spot, thinking about how he used to kiss it morning and night. 
Warnings: This will be 18+ / in game spoilers / Eventual Smut / Angst, trauma, fluff / Gore / Violence / PTSD / Astarion's past trauma
THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF VIOLENCE.
A/N: And here comes AA with some absolutely unhinged behavior.
-----
At first, Astarion hires Delilah for several hours at a time. Typically, a half day, but sometimes more.
It’s always the same experience.
He pays her to morph into a likeness of Eirianwen, based on sketches from the Baldur’s Gate Gazette and his own descriptions. She never gets the vitiligo quite right, but the Ascendant, in his desperation, will take what he can get. 
In the beginning, he simply lays in bed as Delilah runs her fingers through his silver curls and hums. Sometimes he trances, sometimes he watches her without saying much at all. 
For the first time since Ani left, he experiences uninterrupted, nightmare-free sleep.
And the woman is smart enough to simply follow instructions and not pry. At least at the start..
Eventually, Astarion has Delilah make private calls to the Palace. He pays a ridiculous amount of gold for this, but it’s no matter. 
Most nights, she’s still a glorified sleep aid; other nights, he becomes more physical. But the voice and the vitiligo are wrong every time, and it takes weeks before he’s able to fully commit to the act. Even then, something feels not quite right. But it’s as close as he can get.
And then finally, several months after their peculiar agreement first began, Astarion, after far too many bottles of wine, reveals he’s a vampire to the shapeshifter.
“As in a true, blood-sucking vampire?” Delilah asks, eyebrows furrowed as she assesses the Lord. It’s a rare moment in which she’s in her own chosen form, rather than the likeness of Ani that he pays her for. 
“Something like that,” He laughs, though it comes out quite wry, “I can drink blood; I no longer need to for survival.”
“Show me,” She responds, her curiosity getting the better of her. Delilah is wholly aware she is flirting with danger, but she’s never been one to shy away from an opportunity, especially one that comes with the allure of money or power. 
Astarion stares at her for a long while, finishing off the final bits of his goblet, his thoughts entirely imperceptible. He taps his cup with his index finger as he tilts his head and watches the woman. She thinks he’s going to reject her request.
And then, surprisingly, he nods, “Very well. But you must morph, first.” 
Delilah obliges, and at first the Lord brushes her hair from her neck and moves to sink his fangs there. But he retracts at the last moment, shaking his head almost imperceptibly. 
It’s not really Ani, he reminds himself. 
After a brief pause and a sharp inhale, Astarion takes her hand and turns it, finding the pulse point on her wrist. He keeps his eyes locked onto the distorted appearance of his ex-lover as he bites into the changeling’s flesh.
And what a terrible decision that was. He’d just invited a devil onto his shoulder and a snake into his bed.
*
The constant bashing of Astarion’s fists sounds like a poorly played drum as he repeatedly swings into Edmund’s hanging body. The human is strung up by his arms in the office, dangling so that his toes barely brush the white marble floor. 
The bastard is annoyingly sturdy, and manages to stifle most of his grunts as the Ascendant continues his torment. This only angers Astarion further, and he begins to hit harder, now intentionally aiming for the man’s face every time and splattering dots of crimson around the room.
Great. He will have to call the servants into his private office to scrub the floor and walls. He might have to replace the curtains.
It’s clear that whoever turned this vampire has conditioned him quite well. It’s been an hour of repeated strikes and the human seems nowhere near his breaking point. 
Between the physical exertion of pummeling Edmund and the draining effects of his ring as Eirianwen continues to burn the poison through her system in the next room over, Astarion is beginning to tire. He is sure he must escalate his methods to rip any information from Edmund, but he refuses to give the spawn a single break in his torment.
So he barks an order at one of his own spawn standing guard not far behind him, “Thrak! Continue where I’ve left off. I have more important things to attend to than beating this disgusting vermin.” 
A final blow to Edmund’s face and then Astarion spins on his heels with a sneer, flicking his hand up to examine his cracked knuckles and bloodied nails in distaste. 
Thrak is a large half-orc with slashes running vertically down his chin. The marks are an intentional, cultural scarification, Astarion is told; his sister, Melga, has the same ones. 
Astarion focuses his eyes on Melga, where she is now watching her brother assault Edmund with mild interest. A few gestures of his hands, and the Vampire Lord communicates to the female orc that he wants to be informed if Edmund breaks. 
Melga quickly gestures her understanding. Astarion is not fluent in the sign language Thrak and Melga speak; it appears to be a mixture of Thieves Speak and something else he does not recognize. Perhaps they made it up themselves. But over the years, he has learned enough to get by and Thrak has always willingly worked as the translator. 
When the Ascendant first offered immortality to Thrak, the half-orc indicated he and his sister were a two for one deal. He would change with his sister or not at all; he hoped vampirism would restore the hearing she lost as a child. And the Ascendant, still thinking himself better than Cazador in that he did not change people against their will, agreed. 
Unfortunately, there are some conditions vampirism cannot fix.
*
Jaheira took leave to return home and check in on her wards. The druid indicated she needed to delve into her medicinal stores and confer with Halsin on the matter of Eirianwen’s affliction.
Mention of the wood elf’s name instantly caused Astarion to bristle. If Halsin had a solution, it would not be the first time the oversized elf helped Eirianwen in a way the vampire could not. The Ascendant is quite sure he loathes that man more than any of his other former campmates; he idly thinks it’s a bit of a shame it’s Edmund instead of Halsin strung up next door. 
Another surge of acid through his veins. Another healing potion. The Lord sits quietly next to Ani and watches the slow rise and fall of her breath as if in contemplation. Her fever finally broke not long ago. Her arm is still deteriorating.
Astarion leans forward and brings his bloodied, cracked hand to gently stroke her cheek along that tiny patch of vitiligo. And then he lifts two fingers to his lips, kisses them, and presses those fingers against that same spot, thinking about how he used to kiss it morning and night. 
Thrak continues to pound his massive fists into the foreign spawn next door, and now the Ascendant can hear the sounds of Edmund's resilience breaking. The pained grunts and sobs are music to his ears, and he smiles in sadistic delight at the spawn’s suffering as he simply lounges in his chair, continuing to watch the sorceress breathe. 
“We’ll figure this out, little love.” He whispers before he brings his hands together as if in prayer and analyzes the cries of agony from the next room. 
Not long now. 
*
He’s on the freezing marble floor. Cazador is straddled over him, pinning Astarion’s arms down with his knees. They’re in the spawn dormitory, in front of all his brothers and sisters. No one steps in to help him. 
In the end, it’s all about self-preservation, isn’t it? 
His master yanks at his silver curls and bends so close to Astarion’s face he can feel Cazador’s hot, disgusting breath on his skin.
“Where is it?!” The older vampire questions, pulling Astarion’s hair with vitriol and forcing a pained wail out of the spawn, “Where did you hide it?!”
“H-hide what? Master! Please, I don’t know what you’re–” 
A solid strike to Astarion’s face causes him to stop his defenses mid-sentence. 
“Petras! Leon! Bring me a barrel of water, rags, and a pillow case.” Cazador orders coolly, as his eyes briefly flicker to the elf’s siblings. The two other spawn quickly run to retrieve the requested items for their enraged Master. 
“You traitorous leech. Where is it?” Cazador asks through gritted teeth, gripping Astarion’s chin so tightly he is convinced the bones in his jaw are cracking under the force. 
He doesn’t know what it is. He doesn’t know where it is. If Astarion knew, he would’ve already spilled all his secrets. It never takes this much to rip a confession out of the elf nowadays. 
He’s stunned into silence, staring wide-eyed at the older vampire, unsure what to do or say to make this interrogation stop.
Nothing. There’s nothing he can do or say. Astarion knows it and the thought fills him with dread.
Cazador growls and spits in the elf’s face before shoving a cloth in Astarion’s mouth and completely shrouding him in darkness with the pillowcase. Leon and Petras are instructed to hold the elf’s limbs as he emits gagged screams of anguish. He tries to break away from his brothers, but it’s to no avail. 
He was always one of the weaker spawn.
Astarion’s screaming is stifled by a shock of icy water filling his nose and throat as Cazador begins to waterboard him. He doesn’t need to breathe, but the sensation alone is terrifying. The silver-haired spawn continues to thrash against his siblings as their Master enacts his violent punishment. It feels like it goes on forever. The entire barrel is emptied over him before Cazador stops.
Astarion knew it was mostly for show. Cazador often made an example out of him to deter anyone else from committing the same act he was blamed for.
In the end, Astarion was thrown into the kennels for further torture. He never truly knew what it was, though he suspects he found it much later.
*
The Ascendant is straddled over Edmund as Thrak and Melga hold onto the foreign spawn’s bound limbs. Long, pale fingers grip the vermin’s jaw, prying it open with nearly enough force to rip the mandible from its joint.
“Last chance. Who is your master?” Astarion asks, tone low and coming across as far too bored for the violence that has recently ensued within this room. He’s watching Edmund with expectant, cold eyes. 
“Fuck you!” Edmund responds in a venomous hiss, glaring up at the Vampire Lord with what little expression in his face he has left after the hours of repeated blows.
“Wrong answer.” The elf sighs, and then he procures a spoon from his pocket and forces it into the spawn’s mouth.
Astarion chuckles sadistically as Edmund begins to thrash and twist against the half-orcs. The spoon is quickly wedged underneath the spawn’s gumline, and the Ascendant begins to slowly pry out the traitor’s left fang, grinning all the while. 
He could do this much faster, of course, but what’s the fun in that? The bastard deserves to suffer. 
The bastard deserves to die. And he will. Just not yet. 
First, Astarion gets to have his fun. A chance for him to make someone bleed was a rare, delectable thing nowadays. The temptation was difficult for the Ascendant to resist.
Edmund is screaming now, flailing around in agony and fighting for an out. But it isn’t going to work; three on one is never truly a fair fight. 
Especially as a starved spawn. 
“WHO. IS. YOUR. MASTER?” Astarion bellows over the tortured, terrified wails of the spawn. His curls are falling out of place, dangling in front of his narrowed scarlet eyes and obscuring parts of his vision as he continues to slowly peel fang from flesh, undeterred by the useless, pitiful crying and bucking underneath him. 
Eventually the left fang pops out with a spatter of blood across Astarion’s hand and he scoffs in disdain before cleaning his hand on Edmund’s barely recognizable, heavily swollen face. 
Disgusting vermin. 
“FUCK YOU!” Edmund screams, but his voice cracks at the end and he is no longer able to hold in the tears rolling out of two swollen sockets. 
Astarion tuts his tongue against the roof of his mouth, as if disappointed. Then he sighs a long, belabored breath as he rolls his eyes at the spawn, “You are strong, Edmund, I must admit. But what you have in brawn, you certainly lack in brains, don’t you?”
And then the Ascendant abruptly plunges the spoon into the human’s gum line just above his right fang. Edmund jerks his head at the last moment and the dull instrument slices against his mouth and tongue, still causing a laceration due to the amount of force Astarion is using on the manufactured weapon. 
Blood quickly pools in Edmund’s mouth and he spits it at the silver-haired elf in a final act of defiance. 
The switch is instantly flipped.
Astarion’s face contorts with pure, unfiltered hate. His heart starts pounding in rapid fire. Whatever modicum of control he had over his violent desires instantly slips from his hands as his grip around the spoon tightens. 
He doesn’t realize he’s wrapping his hand around the spawn’s neck and crushing it with the full force of his Ascendant power. He cannot think past his red, blinding rage as he’s stabbing into Edmund’s chest with the blunted instrument. 
He pierces through the spawn’s flesh over and over and over and over. 
When the Ascendant finally gains control of his senses, the first thing he sees is Edmund’s mangled body beneath him and his hands coated in scarlet. The first thing he hears, however, is a woman’s scream ripping through the office. 
When Astarion jerks his head toward the source, he sees Ani standing in the doorway, both hands clasped over her mouth. 
He hates what he sees.
Terror. Pure terror. 
She’s terrified of him. And she runs.

Familia - Nicki Minaj, Anuel AA, Bantu
TGM is the fandom of the moment so y'all bear with me: Icemav Mafia AU More specifically, Duke Mitchell as a former family boss Godfather style, the whole honor and manners beat, who got killed when Mav was just a kid. Mav who was the only survivor of an outright massacre, adopted by Goose's family another state over. Growing up smart but full of anger and chased by his family's ghosts, coming back for revenge years later. Ice as the head/older son of another mafia group, maybe with Viper as the head, and they used to be tight with Duke's family and Duke's death along with Maverick's disappearance never sat right with them but they couldn't find the kid either and also declaring an all out war would cause too much bloodshed. Added: Icemav as childhood friends, Mav as the "friend who came back from the dead", Ice overprotective and out for blood, Goose lives but not before getting hurt trying to protect Mav, Slider as Ice's right hand man, Carol as the diner waitress who's always sitting in on their meetings even though she doesn't go there.
...dare I say I'd write it....
edit: yeah alright, I caved, I wrote it

AFFILIATE VERSE / Into the Mel-verse if you are feeling groovy
set in a heavily canon divergent 616 timeline w/ spiderverse movies worked in / some of this like the leonard stuff is canon across all verses @thefleetsfinest / @crisispider / @hopeburns
anyways, here's a bunch of headcanons and notes that i have for what i have developed with MEL MY BELOVED BESTIE; and if it's chill, i will probably default to this verse being my main / primary. so if you're groovy, i'd like to write in this verse.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
💜💙 freefall happens a little differently, in that linda and clint never dated, but they are friends mostly because linda is dating @thefleetsfinest and leonard adopted a stray alcoholic (clint) that is how that is going
💜💙 linda and clint still attend the gala together, or more linda runs into clint at the f.e.a.s.t. charity thing (leonard is probably in attendance too / linda still calls tony small dick energy and then kisses her doctor boyfriend) and both are squinty eyes at him the entire time
💜💙 Clint is actually injured going to Linda's clinic when Spiderman and Captain America confront him, and Linda still goes to defend him; partly because she will not have that happening right outside of her clinic. it definitely one of the leading causes where she wants some space from clint
💜💙 Clint still brings Bryce to Linda's apartment, and Bryce dies, and that's why Clint gets banned from her apartment. Linda calls Leonard to help with clean up, and Leonard helps Clint in the direct aftermath
💜 He goes to Leonard all injured after The Hood, and than he decides to go sober with the help of Leonard
💜💙 clint is still currently banned from linda's apartment, but she has mostly forgiven him for covering his ass and the whole dying kid in her house; it's fine he is leonard's friend, she can forgive him over time
💜 leonard mccoy is clint's aa sponsor, across all open verses, when post freefall happens; clint's living on leonard's couch as he gets sober and starts to put his life back together, there may have been some snuggling involved, because when you are sad and pitiful, sometimes being held is nice and lenny is a good friend.
💙 Clint and Leonard tend to go to aa meetings in Brooklyn, but if ever needed they have popped into the usual place that Tony and Carol end up. The first time that happened was so awkward for Clint.
💜 The first four people, on Clint's long list of amends and apologies, is to Kate, Bucky, Natasha, and Peter Parker.
💜 Now let's get on to talking Peter Parker ( @crisispider ). After apologizing to Peter, the two had always been friends over the years, but they become closer friend again. Clint is surprisingly there as Peter is going through the details of a divorce, or co-parenting, and being a single dad.
Tumblr media
💜 Clint is roughly one year sober, and only doing small investigative, vigilante/hero work, not always directly in NYC (legal troubles), and that is when Luke has become Mayor (tbh i do not know the timeline between 2020 to 2022/23 comics well) when he gets the offer about the Thunderbolts, he is not at all sure about it and still has major issues with this
💜 Clint and Peter have been becoming closer friends, since Clint apologized, and it's once Clint has joined the Thunderbolts, that is when Clint and Peter start to flirt a little more, and one thing leads to another, that leads to feelings and a relationship. Clint's been a Thunderbolt for the city for some time now, in a relationship with Peter for some time. About a year probably.
💜 Peter and part-time Mayday move in with Clint at some point down the line, making the Spiderman and little Bug mainstays in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn. The neighbors at Bed-Stuy absolutely love Peter B. Parker, and he's a big help at fixing things and making thee apartment labeling make sense
💜 Clint and MJ are buds, pals, friends; he loves her. The Barton-Parker-Watson family is so good and wholesome. Kate Bishop is also a part of that, DUH, Peter gets Kate in Clint's will. Kate and Peter have such a funny friendship.
💜 Eventually, Clint does get back in good graces with the Avengers, and even returns to the Avengers in the time of emergencies. He can be both a TB and an Avenger sometimes as a treat.
💜 Clint's even visited Spider-society once, because Peter vouched really had for a bring-your-boyfriend to work day.
💜 Clint's best friend, outside of his other best friends. His non-superhero friend if he has to be specific is Leonard, he loves harassing his doctor, needs him as his sponsor. has become more of brother to him than barney is, and is his best friend. they just get each other. and he swears if leonard gets hurt.
💜 Leonard makes Clint cry more than he'd care to admit to, like when Leonard and the Mccoy family adopt Clint as their own, and treat him like family. It makes him cry and stop he knows it's okay to cry Peter, he's till crying though and its ugly. He also just loves Leonard a lot.
Tumblr media
💙 Linda and Leonard start dating before Freefall takes place exact timeline uncertain. this happens after Leonard wises up. She cares a lot about him, and was just giving him space to adjust to moving to New York and involving himself in superhero lives. They are so close with each other, and really it was a matter of time.
💙 The Night Nurse Network is a thing, with Linda's clinic being a whole location, and she's got her rolodex of associates. She's got help now, she's not the only doctor/physician acting as more than half of NYC's hero population's pcp and emergency doctor. She has @thefleetsfinest and @hopeburns (when she's not in space) who both can be ran into and seen around the clinic, as well most importantly, everyone's favorite waiting room buddy, Leonard's corgi Luna. there's three doctors/nurses are the night nurse clinic now.
💙 As Clint would put it, the crush era between Linda and Leonard was unbearable (and since clint was drinking at the time / he drank to that) as Leonard would deny any time he got jealous that Linda was trying to date and get out there. Linda absolutely hated that time, as most dates were just not interesting or went poorly, and she did not really want to be "getting out there", plus Leonard was right there and really they were both unbearable and oblivious to each other's interest in the other!
💙 Linda always ends up back at the clinic after her dates (the one time with the lizard girl), and most of that she ends up hanging out with Leonard after all her dates, cause he's more interesting (and the ideal guy)
💙 Linda's friends include Jessica Drew (and Carol by extension), Stephen Strange (they get coffee, he's a pest once he knows about leonard too absolutely awful), Laelynn (by extension her girlfriend Luce), and Leonard (by extension clint and peter are around a too), and than there is Danny and Luke as well.
💙 Speaking of Jessica Drew, Linda absolutely adores babysitting Gerry when given the chance. To add to that, she starts watching Mayday Parker as well which she really doesn't mind, because of Leonard doing a favor for @crisispider and Clint.
💜🧡 Clint and Peter watch Greer's kid William sometimes, which naturally Clint is like "Oh my pal leonard can watch him too" which sorry Leonard you didn't like those curtains did you anyways. So Greer has Clint or lets Clint's friend Leonard watch William.
💙💜 So Linda and Leonard babysit, just as Clint and Peter will baby sit all the super kids they know.
💙 Linda was more nervous about Leonard meeting her mother, than about meeting the Mccoys or Leonard meeting the rest of her family. This is mostly because of the fact that her mother was unpredictable in how her opinion could be swayed. It wouldn't change anything, but it'd be preferrable if she was Leonard-favorable.
💛 Wasps and spiders may be natural enemies (which may not be true), but Nadia has said she has arguably warmed up to @crisispider but like Miles is still the cooler Spiderman
❤️ Luce (i know i need to add her) is absolute buds with @crisispider it happens mostly because she quips back to at least half of Spiderman's jokes with quotes in specific voice, and they usually grab a bite after a tough day of heroing. That and they get the whole secret identity.
❤️ Luce is Newark's vigilante, but she'll end up wherever a lead will take her which is more often than not over the water to NYC. She tries to avoid being in Manhattan, minus the Night Nurse clinic which is currently in Manhattan, because every superhero and his mom defends Manhattan. She'll go defend Staten Island if she has to over Manhattan (that's a joke she'll kick names and take ass anywhere, wait a minute)
❤️ LUCE ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT PROVE LEGAL ADVICE ! She knows why are asking @crisispider so go pester a lawyer! She is just a paralegal, and it's in her opinion that like hawkeye should not.
Tumblr media
FUTURE PLANS AND EVENTS
Tumblr media
💜 THE WURM -> don't worry about :) -> it's not a cosmic threat :) -> all in your minds :) -> it's my blog, so of course, this would happen in a meddium length hawkeye run :)
💜 A few relapses for Clint, superhero shit is tough but he always gets back on and it never lasts long. his sobriety lasts longer.
💜 Oh about that Wurm ;) The avengers are clint's team :) oh and Clint plus the team save the day :) so you think :) and things are fine until the Wurm comes back to eat Clint I mean what :)
💙 Linda has to relocate the clinic, which actually ends up being more upsetting than she'll care to admit. It happen, it's happened before, she's always moved when needed. This time it's more because Danny Rand had bought the last building to remove rent as an issue for her. She knows it was a give back thank you gift, these things happen, it is still absolutely a stressful and massive plan when she moves her clinic out of the Lower East Side. She tries to find a place near the same area and still in Manhattan, but rent is a bitch. She manages to find a place in Turtle Bay, between 2nd and 3rd.
💜 Clint and Peter get married ! There is going to be a wedding. The proposal? Has not been worked out. But there is, of course it's gonna end up a big thing, spiderman and hawkey are big heroes!
💜 Clint's best man is . . . complicated. It ends up being co-best man Kate and Leonard. He had to narrow down groomspeople to a limit number of four. Figuring out who is. . . . still tough.
💙 The meeting of the Carters and Mccoys was something, which to date may be the most stressed that Linda has ever been to date. It goes well, mostly.
💙 Linda and Leonard will get married too, and Linda wants it family and friends, and keep it small and quiet. As much as it can be when there are already a few superheroes who have to be on the list ( stephen plus clint and peter)
💜 Clint is Leonard's best man for his wedding with Linda. IT IS VERY EMOTIONAL. and Clint's speech is great (awful)
💙 linda's dress is a little decade inspired, just below the knee in leg, with some umpf to the skirt, off the shoulders or at least neck bare, good for dancing, very simple. the more exciting part of this is really the lace she is wearing underneath.
💜 Peter is gonna have a second kid with Clint. They are gonna be girl dads time two.
and just. so much more. so much. i love this affiliate verse. so much. also like. peter has the whole of spider society stuff. going on. and clint can't even wrap his head around some of it.

What are some good older iron man comics. I would love to read them. I am not too fond of heavy abuse depictions so I prefer the lighter stuff. I read the civil war comics but I didn’t like it so much. As for Maria, I read few comics with her and she was a good mother to Tony. I wish we see more of her. Maybe after the I AM IRONMAN, other writers start to include her.
I didn't like Civil War (the main event) either. I thought the tie-ins and Iron Man's solo series are fairer to the character, but it was a terrible event for him overall.
Iron Man reading list:
⎊ Tales of Suspense (1959) #39 - Iron Man's origin story
You can read tales of suspense #40 - #99 if you can tolerate the sexism, racism etc. of that era. This series is the one that introduced Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan, and they're honestly a lot of fun sometimes, despite not always having the best quality of writing.
⎊ Iron Man vol 1:
This volume has 324 issues and it can get intimidating (I avoided reading it for years) so I'll try to list the best runs.
Gerry Conway (35–43, 91–97) He has a great voice for Tony and I love the characterization.
Bill Mantlo (78, 86–87, 95–115, Annual #4) - this is a very good run - a must read, in my opinion, and extremely underrated. Issue #78 tells us the story of why Tony stopped making weapons. Mantlo put in a lot of work to humanize Tony & his relationship with Whitney Frost (Madame Masque) is amazing.
David Michelinie (116–157) - he introduced Rhodey (issue #144 tells us the story of how he met Tony) and a bunch of great characters like Bethany Cabe, Mrs. Arbogast and Justin Hammer. He also established Tony's alcoholism in Demon in a Bottle and made him travel to the past & the future with Doctor Doom (#150 and #250). His run also has some light-hearted moments and you can start with this one - a lot of people do.
Dennis O'Neil (160–208) - he explored Tony's alcoholism in much more detail than Michelinie and his run gets very heavy at times (especially issue #182) (tw for suicidal ideation, depression and alcoholism) but Tony's recovery is depicted very well, too, and his portrayal of Tony, even at his worst, is very empathetic and respectful. Also, Rhodey becomes Iron Man in this run and O'Neil characterizes him very well. This is a very important Iron Man run.
David Michelinie (again) (215–250) - If you liked his writing, you can check this run out as well. It contains the Armor Wars storyline, which is a very important arc that contributed to Tony's character a lot (It's also the first time he clashed with Steve Rogers over differing ideals).
Len Kaminski (278–318) - This is the run in which Rhodey became War Machine (he even got a solo series by the same writer, which is very good). This is also the run which established Tony as a (verbal and emotional) childhood abuse survivor and the issues that depict it are issues #285 - #288 (Tony relives his childhood memories, which include memories of his father's abuse and I'm not sure how heavy it can be classified as, but it can be triggering to some people, certainly) and #313 (This one is more disturbing as it features Tony telling the story of how Howard made him drink alcohol as a very young child at an AA meeting - it's also immensely satisfying and it's a great issue, overall).
⎊ Tony is a major part of Avengers vol 1 and West Coast Avengers (1985) as well.
⎊ Marvel Graphic Novel - Emperor Doom
⎊ Marvel Super-Heroes (1990) - issues 2, 8 (Squirrel Girl's first appearance!), 9, 12-15 (issue #13 is especially good)
⎊ Marvel Fanfare #4
⎊ Iron Man vol 3 (1998)
Kurt Busiek (1-25, Annual 1999) - This is one of the best Iron Man runs ever. You could totally start with this one if you want to- Tony's characterization is amazing in this run, Happy and Pepper are part of the main cast again and they got some great development in it, Carol Danvers is featured heavily in it and this run has some of the best writing she's got and this run has some very good Black Widow moments as well. If you've heard of Rumiko Fujikawa, this is the run that introduced her.
Frank Tieri (31–35, 37–49, Annual 2001) - Tiberius Stone is a very fun character and this is the run in which he was introduced. It's very good.
Mike Grell (50-66) - This run shows us more of Tony's philanthropist side and I think it's essential reading for Iron Man fans. This is also the run in which he reveals his secret identity in order to save a dog.
⎊ Iron Man: Bad Blood is a great mini-series by David Michelinie that also features Rhodey (he isn't a huge part of Iron Man vol 3, unfortunately) and Justin Hammer.
⎊ Iron Man: Legacy of Doom is another great mini-series by David Michelinie and is the final story in the Camelot trilogy (featuring Doctor Doom).

Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna and Prince Ioann Konstantinovich
Everybody knows by now that my favorite Romanov changes just about every week. Probably the one I "favor" most frequently is Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. My heart goes out to her. In the time and place where she lived, a twenty-three-year-old girl was frequently already married and had children. Olga had to watch these and many other experiences pass her by from her captivity in Tobolks and Ekaterinburg. They say Olga was thin, withdrawn, sad, and did not seem to be coping as well as the other girls with the imprisonment. I think that Olga's "denial mechanism" was not working as well as that of the others, and she strongly suspected what was coming.
Enough of that....several names floated about (none of them seriously) as matrimonial prospects for Olga, such as that of her cousins Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich and Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich. Prince Christopher of Greece and Denmark had expressed interest. Carol II of Romania had been considered. And then there was another, which I really liked for her (you may not): Prince Ioann (Ioannshick) Konstantinovich, the first-born son of Grand Duke Konstantine Konstantinovich and Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mavrikievna.
The following is a letter from Grand Duke Konstantine to his son when Ioann apparently mentioned the matter to him (not for the first time):
3 December, 1910. Pavlovsk. From bruderschaft [brotherhood, German], you very unexpectedly suddenly turn to Lubochka. You cannot marry her at this point, but without breaking the law, with which you need to familiarize yourself, taking advantage of conversations between AAs. Makarov and Kostya. During one of these conversations, ask for the federal secretary to explain to you the legalization of marriages of the members of the Imperial family. The Tatiana question has not been resolved by far, as it needs a change of the existing law. But let’s assume that it will be changed: then I advise you to be careful. Last year, you wrote to me about your love for Olga Nikolaevna and for Tanya and someone else, and now it’s Lubochka while you are still bringing up Olga Nikolaevna as well. Seems like you do not know yourself with whom specifically you are in love, but without a tested and faithful love, one should not marry. 
Ioann was at that age when we fell in love every other day. He did ask the Tsar, who dismissed the idea by not taking the matter seriously, and told Ioann that his daughter was too young (in 1910, Olga would have been 15). The Empress had never liked the Konstantinovichi as potential grooms for her daughters because of their "poor health." Other than that, they were one of the few Grand Duccal families Alix liked.
Ioann married Helen of Serbia in 1911. He fought in WWI, had two children, and was eventually murdered by the Bolsheviks at Alapaevsk in the Urals (along with several other Romanovs, at least one of whom was his brother.) He was 32 years old. Olga died with her family not far from where he was killed, in Ekaterinburg at the age of 23.(gcl)

@internerdionality replied: I would love to see a crossover-y Christmas Carol kinda story with this Lucius, where he gets to see what his life could have been. Would he think the other Lucii were chumps, or start to realize what he’s missing?
I was immediately visited by the vision of a ring of chairs in a basement ala AA with various versions of Lucius sitting around drinking shitty coffee. This barely a thing, just made me giggle. So behold my ridiculous little shadowplay.
Mainverse Lucius leads the meetings (he's the most fleshed out, visibly has more dimension and shadow etc) calls things to order. Most of them are dressed in a fairly similar way, but the further they sit from Mainverse, the more the subtle differences add up, terminating in May Be Bad who sits directly opposite him in a truly outstandingly expensive gray suit with a deep purple vest and crisp white shirt. The person closest to him is Wake Myself in the Shadows and he is constantly trying to scoot slightly further away from him and closer to Bottle of Red, who just watches them both warily.
Mainverse: Okay, so we have a lot of new faces since our last meeting...like a lot a lot. Like a troubling amount, but whatever. We'll just go along do intros again and the basic survey so we can break into small group discussion.
They all say their 'verse names pretty quickly.
Mainverse: Great. Ok. So married to Pete?
Most of the hands go up, the ones that don't tend be further from Mainverse and he makes a few notes.
Mainverse: Sucks to be you assholes. Ok, married, but not to Pete?
Most remaining hands go up.
Mainverse: Keep 'em up if it's Izzy....okay cool. No one's gone totally rogue yet, love that for us. Additional love interests...that's a question now? We're adding shit? Fuck, fine. Who's got...Faith? Really?
One hand. Everyone takes a second to appreciate I Know a Place, who is noticeably older and clearly very relaxed.
Mainverse: Okay then, I have so many questions to ask you. Actually, the whole Faith lives group, let's have a group sesh before the dreamstate dissolves, please and thank you. Let's see...oooh Eddy? Really?
Take a Stand: She's pretty great.
Mainverse: Sure to poke with a stick.
You're Awful: A pointy one.
Mainverse: Right okay....
How 'bout Another: She is my metamour, I'm into it.
You're Awful: She's mine and I want to murder her.
Mainverse: Annnd let's make another adjustment to the seating chart, you two should not be next to each other. Let's see....fuck. No. No fucking way. Please tell me which one of you assholes did this so I can kick your fucking teeth in.
Bottle of Red *still inching away*: I don't even know what you're talking about and I could take an educated guess.
Mainverse: Which one of you fucking clones is in a relationship with CHARLIE?
Wake Myself in the Shadows: HEY! It's age adjusted and I didn't meet him until he was in his twenties.
*general grossed out noises, You're Awful throws an empty coffee cup at him*
I May Be Bad: Don't be shy. Charlie is delicious and you all are very much missing out. Morals are such an annoyance.
Bottle of Red: Can I switch seats? With literally anyone?
You're Awful: We could just throw him out.
I May Be Bad: *draws out dagger and starts cleaning nails with it* Darling, I'd love to see you try.
In silent agreement, everyone scoots their chairs away and Bottle of Red even lets Wake Myself get a little closer.
Mainverse: Okay, forget small groups. Now I think we all need to know what your deal is in particular.
Just Like a One Winged: He doesn't have an Izzy, right? Or a Phil?
Feels Just Like I'm Falling: Pete.
I May Be Bad: I'm married to Izzy, thanks very much.
Bottle of Red: Is that just what no Pete looks like cause uh...
Just Like a One Winged and Somewhere Only We know: Fuck no.
I May Be Bad: I really don't see what you're all so upset about. I just live like all the rest of you wish you could. I don't worry about what other people think of me.
Mainverse: Uh, a little worry would be good, Mr. Pointy Things. Okay, let's run down where this went horribly awry. You're not age shifted. ...oh. You met Izzy when you were 19?!
I May be Bad: I met Jim first. They met Izzy and Eddy at 19 too. Why? Didn't you all?
Mainverse: No, babe, no we did not. Jim first is a new one.
I May be Bad: *clearly agitated* are you fucking serious? You all...you really just paired up with Pete of all fuckers and Izzy and that's it? No Jim? No business?
Somewhere Only: I mean, no clear attachment to sharp implements either.
I May Be Bad: This is so fucked up.
Mainverse: Really really really think that's you and not us. Holy shit. Do we have a dis-invite option? This vibe is rancid.
I May Be Bad: You think I want to be here? You can miss me with this shit.
Wake Me in the Shadows: Listen, I think we're all a little heated.
You're Awful: No shit.
Things only get more heated. Much arguing ensues, no one breaks into small groups before the dream dissolves and luckily no on remember anything in the morning.

INTRODUCING...
Tumblr media
full name: jaxon lieberman
age: twenty six
birth date: july 30th, 1996
birth place: kismet harbor, oregon
gender: cis man
pronouns: he / him
orientation: heterosexual
neighbourhood: driftwood haven
occupation: personal trainer at access athletics
town activites: elevated escapades, bowling league, aqua avengers, aa & na.
trigger warnings: death, abandonment, pregnancy, addiction, drug overdose, ptsd, army
jaxon is the second lieberman male, born five years after his older brother jeremy.
he didn't know his parents; his mother leaving when he was a few months old and his father dying when he was only three.
as he got older, he practically forgot the man all together but he knew jeremy still had the trauma from how they treated him.
so, he made sure to be on his best behavior in front of their aunt carol, never wanting to put their stable home environment in jeopardy.
even though he was making some incredibly bad choices behind the scenes; it was a party every weekend and he was climbing the social ladder at school.
at sixteen, he started dating the cheerleader and for the first time jaxon thought maybe he had the opportunity to actually have the one in a life time romance.
until about three weeks into their relationship and she dropped the bombshell on him that she was pregnant.
his whole life spiraled; he wasn't sure he was even capable of being a father because as silly as it seemed, it felt like his father had a choke hold on him even from the grave, that all the worst parts of him were floating around in his veins.
it took him a few weeks to get used to the idea but eventually he got on board and was able to end up telling his brother about the fact he was going to be a father, a confession that of course had some getting used to.
he adjusted his whole life to make it work. he stopped partying, got himself a part time job and picked up the grades at school in hopes to go to college and get a good paying job.
finally, the day came. he took her to the hospital and during the birth he was right there, holding her hand. once the baby came out, it was clear as day there was no way he was the father.
it all fell apart after that, he went back to the parties but this time it didn't stay away from his home life. he'd come home drunk on a daily basis and unfortunately he was a carbon copy of his father. he was angry and he let the whole world know it.
he didn't plan on cleaning up his act until the big senior party, he showed up and was handed something at the door. he took it without asking any questions and the next thing he knew he was waking up in the hospital with jeremy right next to him, the red-rimmed eyes told him enough. it was a close call and he had been lucky to be alive.
so, he got clean and during one of his meetings he met a army recruiter. he was packing for training a week later and then would eventually move onto boot camp and so forth.
he honestly planned on making a career out of it, according to his sergeant he had been one of the best he ever worked with, someone to change his life for the better to become the strongest version of himself.
it was until one of the tours, there was a mistake and it ended with his camp being raided.
he came home, released from his duties and the ptsd to come with it.
he's been home for a few months, he still hasn't talked about what happened that day and does whatever he can to make sure his brother never has to worry about him.

❛   so . . . Linda, huh ? she's pretty.   ❜
Tumblr media
"What about Dr. Carter?" Oh he knew EXACTLY what Carol was trying to IMPLY, and he was going to pretend to be BLISSFULLY UNAWARE instead. UNLIKE her little slip-up, his lips were SEALED and what he TRULY thought about Linda would be just for him to know.
...probably Clint. (Perks of being Leonard's AA friend, it came with take to the grave secrets and a burning in yer throat that never went away.)
"...Don't you have a Captain to be HARASSIN' " Okay, maybe his poker face wasn't as good as he wanted it to be, but that was only because he could have SWORN he saw her come into the medbay out of the corner of his eye and the LAST thing he needed was her overhearing this conversation.

365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…
September 14th - Captain Marvel
Carol Danvers joined the Air Force at a young age and proved herself a promising cadet.  Being a woman, she often had to work twice as hard as her male peers yet this helped motivate her to rise to greatness.  She earned the rank of Major as assigned to an intelligence agent where she was ultimately tasked to be a head of security at NASA.
It was during Danvers time at NASA that the space agency was infiltrated by the Kree operative, Captain Mar-Vell, who was posing as an engineer named Walter Lawson.  Danvers discovered Mar-Vell’s true identity and also discovered his nobel intentions, leading the pair to team up against the villainous Kree, Yon-Rog.  In a battle with Yon-Rog, Danvers was accidentally exposed to the transformative properties of the Psyche-Magnitron machine.  This caused her to be imprinted with energy from Mar-Vell's Kree Nega-Bands, thus changing her on a genetic level and bestowing her tremendous super powers.  
These powers included flight, super strength and durability and the capacity to absorb energy and redirect it in the form of photon blasts.  Danvers used these powers to become the super hero known as Ms. Marvel.  She would later join the Avengers.  
Although Ms. Marvel proved a highly capable and valued member of The Avengers, her life was marred by three successive traumas.  First was the death of her one-time love, Mar-Vell; next she was manipulated and used by a deplorable villain named Marcus, and lastly she was attacked and nearly killed by Rogue of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.   Rogue’s power-aborning Mutant abilities had an unforeseen effect when combined with Danver’s Kree physiology.  Rogue absorbed all of Danvers’ powers aa well as much of her psyche and personality, leaving Danvers in a near comatose state.  
In a very lengthy process, Danvers recovered her abilities and returned to super heroics.  She would go on to have many adventures both on earth and throughout the cosmos, teaming up with the X-Men, The Starjammers, The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy.  Danvers would go on to adopt the mantle of Captain Marvel for herself.
More recently, Danvers has learned about her true heritage as the daughter of a Kree supersoldier named Mari-Ell.  Since then she has been struggling to cope with and come to terms with her being a woman from two worlds.  
Actress Brie Larson has potray Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The heroine first appeared in the pages of Marvel Super-Heroes #13 (1967).

Ingo eating Ice cream with his siblings: Emmet, if you don't want to have a babysitter, maybe you should stop being such a baby.
Emmet, sneers: Oh, I'm a baby, huh? Well then I'll act like a baby. [takes a huge bite of his ice cream and it spills onto his shirt; he fills his cheeks with ice cream and his lips are covered in it] Ga-ga goo-goo!
Ingo, getting fed up: Even babies know how to open and close their mouths. You need a bib. 
{Ties a handkerchief around Emmet’s neck, Emmet glares at him] 
Emmet: Oh baby hate bib! Waah! Waah! 
[starts banging his spoon on Ingo's bowl, Their baby sister Carol starts crying.]
Ingo: Oh, look, Emmet! Now you got Carrie all upset!
Emmet: Relax, I'll give her some ice cream.
[Emmet gives all his ice cream to Carrie; her pupils shrink]
Ingo, panicking: Emmet, that's mocha ice cream. It has caffeine in it!!
[Carol smiles as she starts twitching her head and body hyperactively]
Emmet, smugly: Well, at least that'll make things more interesting for you, now won't it? 
(cut to a while later, in the Trevithick’s bathroom.)
[Ingo is trying to get a hyper Carrie down off of the shower curtain rod.]
Ingo: [to Carol] Carrie-Berry, If you come down, I'll give you some more coffee! Lots more coffee! [calls from upstairs] Are you getting ready for bed, Emmet?

[Meanwhile, a hyper Carol aims and plays with a bottle of Talcum Powder in her room.]
Ingo: Come on Carol! Good Carrie! The talcum powder's not to play with!
[Carol squeezes the bottle of Talcum Powder, which completely covers Ingo in it He coughs, then groans, Cut to Ingo finally getting his sister to sleep, Ingo exhausted and peeved finds his brother in the livingroom, Ingo grabs Emmet by the arm and tries to drag him to their room but Emmet won’t give up so easily, he goes limp dropping to floor forcing Ingo to pull him.]
Ingo: Why do you have to make this so hard?
Emmet: I'm using nonviolent resistance.
Ingo: Ugh! 
{They hear the doorbell ring Ingo looks at the door perplex, they weren’t expecting visitors, he looks at his brother and sees the grin on Emmet’s face and that’s where Ingo’s night truly becomes hell!]

clint! how's your therapy and AA work going?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
❝ The last thing my therapist said to me last session that I've had to mull over is if you lie to yourself; then are you really getting anywhere? ❞ That shouldn't be the most shocking revelation, but he really had to be called out like that. He's got to start working on that, and he knows she said that as well because therapy doesn't work either if he just shows up.
❝ Therapy's weird. It feels like my therapist is on my side and she's been clear that she's been doing some extra reading for how to handle a superhero. ❞ That felt like a good enough start, it's been a good fit compared to his last one, and more similar to first one he's worked with.
❝ AA's, uh... well, first I gotta stop trying to handle all my shit alone. It's, uh, what I'm realizing. Carol's my sponsor, she's as available as she can be when she's on Earth; 'cause y'know she's got the whole magical space girl thing going on. I've got other friends I can call on, or I'm reminded I have other friends. ❞ Yeah, that's always been one of his biggest flaws. Ask Kate Bishop about that one, specifically. That one always hurts.
❝ I'm working on owning up, making amends. There's some tough conversations with some people I've been avoiding ⸻ ❞ That isn't good, he knows that, and he's mostly thinking of two of the bigger names in his life. Mommy and Daddy Avenger, Tony and Steve. ❝ I know, I know, avoidance is bad. I'm just not thrilled for their judgement and the crying I'll probably do. ❞ He owed Tony quite a few apologies specifically and Steve's opinion always mattered way more then he'd ever care to admit to. The crying part he was serious about too.
❝ There's one guy whose been at most the meetings I've been to that I've made buddies with George. I've lost money to George, but he's a good guy. ❞ The context he's leaving out is that he and George tend to make bets with each other or play cards with bets. That has not been going in Clint's favor.

After Ever Happy watch freed online
Tumblr media
A couple of hours after Christian Vance reveals to Hardin he is Hardin's biological father, Hardin returns to his mother's wedding reception with Tessa, where he confronts her about the deception. Vance tries to explain himself, but Hardin storms off with a bottle of whiskey. That evening, Tessa finds a drunk Hardin breaking into Trish's house and setting the place on fire. Hardin realizes his mistake and tries to put the fire out, to no avail, but Vance arrives and sneaks Hardin out the back to Vance's car as the fire department arrives. Hardin wakes up the next morning and Tessa tells him Vance told the police he had set the fire himself. They drive to a hill where they have sex.
Tessa and Hardin return to their hotel where she confides in Kimberley, Vance's fiancée, about her problems dealing with Hardin's anger issues before discovering Hardin has left the hotel. Tessa tracks him down to a party where she finds him drunk and high. She offers him a chance to leave with her, but he declines and she returns to the US. Upon returning to her apartment, Tessa finds her father, dead from an apparent overdose. Landon calls Hardin dozens of times to let him know before he finally picks up. He returns to Tessa and tries to comfort her, but she hides from him. Hardin argues with her mom, Carol, about whether he's good for Tessa and how he always abandons her.
Still, Hardin, along with Landon, attends Richard's funeral to support Tessa. Hardin and Tessa go to a dinner hosted by Hardin's dad, Ken, and Landon's mom, Karen, along with Landon and his friend, Nora, to say farewell to Landon as he moves to New York for school, where Nora also lives. After dinner, Tessa brings Hardin outside to talk. She tells him they need time apart to heal from their recent family traumas and she's decided to leave Vance Publishing to move to New York with Landon. Hardin is hurt by the bombshell and nearly hits Landon out of rage for not telling him, but Landon reminds him he is also Tessa's friend as much as Hardin is his brother. Tessa gives Hardin an ultimatum that if he loves her, he'll not follow her to New York and let them have their time apart, to which he reluctantly agrees.
Tessa moves in with Landon and starts working with Nora at a fancy restaurant and Hardin starts going to AA and graduates from university. Months later, Hardin comes to New York for work and Landon offers to host him. Tessa takes double shifts to avoid Hardin, but Landon and Hardin come to her restaurant and request her as their server. Hardin stays until she's off work and they talk about how they've been; Hardin's sobriety and Tessa waiting to get accepted into NYU. Over the next couple of days, they spend time together, slowly reconnecting, during which Landon finally starts a romantic relationship with Nora, much to Hardin and Tessa's happiness. One night when Landon is at Nora's, Tessa and Hardin give in and have sex again. The next morning after Hardin leaves, Tessa finds a book in his bag, titled "After", documenting their entire relationship. When Hardin returns, Tessa confronts him about the book, not wanting her life to be published for everyone to read about, but Hardin tells her there's already a bidding war for the book. He had read his journal during therapy and a publisher ended up reading it and everything escalated since. Tessa declares that their relationship is officially over.
Sometime later, Hardin's book has been named a New York Times Best Seller. With not many friends at school and Landon having basically moved in with Nora, Tessa reaches out to Robert, Nora's friend, for company. That night, Tessa sneaks into Hardin's book signing without him knowing so she can listen in. She misinterprets a look between Hardin and a woman and as Tessa leaves, Hardin glimpses her.
