Bucky gets home from a mission and spots you in one of his more retro shirts and he can’t help himself, not that you mind one bit. *set in AU verse where IW+ Endgame don’t happen. Set in 2019*

hThe day had started early for you.

As you woke up your hands seeked out the other side of the bed only to find that side still cold. A sigh escaped you as you rolled over onto your back, glancing at the clock on your nightstand. It wasn’t even six in the morning. Not that waking up that early wasn’t unusual for you. Most of the time you were only able to sleep in when Bucky was by your side.

The two of you had been together for almost two years now, and you don’t know what you would do without him in your life. You knew the Avengers through Tony, as you worked with him at the company as an engineer. The two of you got on surprisingly well, and it wasn’t long before he introduced you to the rest of the team.

And that led you to meeting Bucky one night in 2017.

It was another one of Tony’s grand parties that you somehow got talked into again by Steve and Natasha. The redhead had been excited to help you find a dress, taking you into the city and spending a large portion of the day to help you find the perfect one. It was an off the shoulder black dress that hugged your waist and chest. Natasha had paid for it, not letting you see the total once. You stayed in the corner for most of the party, occasionally talking with others and getting a drink at the bar. Which is what you were doing when he walked in.

Tall and gorgeous and he looked like he would rather be anywhere else at that moment.

Like yourself.

Steve introduced you to him, and with a sort of firm look to his friend left you the two along.

And after that, your life changed. Days were spent with each other, getting to know each other and just hanging out in general. Weeks and months passed and it only took four months before you admitted to Natasha that you really liked him.

He asked you out six months after you first met and you did not even hesitate to say yes.

Now, you and Bucky were living in the tower, you were still working as an engineer and he was still going out on missions to fight evil. He had left two weeks ago with Steve and Nat, something about potentially having a source for where another HYDRA base was stationed at. He had left you with a kiss and a promise to be home as soon as they took care of it.

Another sigh escaped you as you pushed yourself up and out of bed, making it quickly before grabbing your phone and heading to the bathroom. You did your business and washed your face before going back into the bedroom. The sun was starting to rise as you looked out the window and you paused for a moment.

It was gorgeous and you most likely would never not get giddy over the fact that you lived in New York City. Pushing your hair out of your eyes and grabbing one of Bucky’s shirts from the closet, you went into the kitchen.

After having FRIDAY start one of your playlists you set on making yourself breakfast. Eggs were added to the pan and a pot of coffee finished brewing. The music woke you up more and the coffee did as you made it to your liking and started to drink it. By the time you were done eating, it was just almost seven and you soon started the dishes.

The music was loud enough that you didn't even hear the door open and shut.

Arms wrapped themselves around your waist and you let out a scream before you realized who it was.

"Could’ve sworn I remembered buying that one myself last month." He drawled as he leaned his head against your shoulder and pulled you closer to him. Placing the last item in the drying rack you turned your attention to him. Your lips curled into a grin as you spun around so you were facing him, your own arms coming to rest around his neck.

Seeing no visible injuries on him you brushed your thumb against his cheek softly. "oh, this?" you gestured to the shirt. " I could have sworn it was mine, but now that you mention it. it is rather comfortable. I can give it back to you," you let out a laugh as his arms tighten even so slightly on you.

"I didn’t take you for someone cheering the vintage look," He spoke, fingers brushing your hips. "Gotta be honest: you probably wear it better than me." Your head tilted to the side, as you pushed yourself a bit closer. Was it getting hot in here or was it just you?

"Let's face it, I wear a lot of things better than you." you said , seeing a smile somewhat appear on his face. You knew that the shirt on him would look amazing, highlighting all the features. Not to mention his arms and muscles. You had to know you looked like a little kid wearing their parents shirt, or at least something close to that. "Vintage or not, maybe because it's yours." You spoke, "You might not be getting it back, haven't decided if I want to keep it or see you in it."

"Despite the beating around the bush to rile me up, it’d be wise to give it back y’know?" Your shoulders shrugged softly as your teeth sunk into your bottom lip.He leaned in closer now.

"I needed a shirt, saw this one and just had to put it on." You said as you leaned back against the counter. "If I had known, well," you paused. " If I knew that you were going to get like this, I would have taken it the day you bought it." This was something that you loved seeing, how domestic you got sometimes. "If you want it, by all means, feel free to take it from me.", a smirk on your face. " Not like I would stop you."

He turned his head, looking down at you as he said. "Are you daring me?” his eyebrow arched up at you as his grip tightened once more. Heat flared between your legs and you felt yourself clench around nothing. A whine bubbled up between your lips but you wouldn’t give in so easily. One of his hands reached up and cupped one of your cheeks.

You let yourself briefly lean into his touch, you were touch starved after not seeing him for two whole weeks."What if I was," You asked, your voice coming out soft, a hint of some emotion that you couldn't place your finger on. "What if I was daring you, Buck." You wanted to see what he could do, what he would do, what he wanted to do to you. That was something you always noticed and to be honest, found attractive about him, he would get what he wanted, come hell or high water.

All thoughts stopped as his fingers eased your arms out of the shirt, pushing it off your shoulders. His lips went for your neck, going to every inch of skin that was exposed to him. Your breathing stuttered slightly as you let out a pleased sound. The shirt moved farther down, exposing your breast to the room and you felt your nipples tighten against the cold air. And you knew that Bucky knew as you felt his lips curl into a smirk as his fingers wandered.

You let out a whine as his lips left their spot from your neck but stopped when you felt the warmth of his mouth wrapping around your right nipple. His mouth hollowed as he roughly sucked it further into his mouth and you let out a loud moan, your own hands coming to rest in his hair. As much as you wanted this to be about you, you wanted to show him how much you missed him. Of course that would wait as you felt him move from your other breast and knelt down on the floor in front of you, lust clear in his eyes.

You pressed yourself further against the counter as you let out another whine as his fingers trailed up your thigh, all but shoving them apart. “You missed me huh?” You asked and you got you answer when two fingers slid up your thigh and to where wetness was dripping from. Said fingers parted your folds and as they went into your pussy, his metal hand moved itself to your clit rubbing just the way you liked it.

No words were exchanged as his fingers quickly sped in and out of your cunt, pressing and hitting the spots that made you see stars. Your head hit the cabinet softly as you gripped the counter with your hands. Fingers sped up and you tighten around him, the coil in your stomach already starting to build and grow more as the wet sounds of him fingering you filled the kitchen. Fuck you missed him. His eyes made contact with yours and you leaned forward and threaded your fingers through his hair.

“Fuck, Bucky, please.” You begged him.

He sped up more, his fingers leaving your clit and being replaced by his lips. You were breathing all but stopped as his mouth sucked the nub into his mouth. Your thighs started to shake as your stomach tightened more and more. All it took was one more pass of his tongue over your clit and one more thrust of his fingers before you felt yourself cum.

For a second, you blacked out, blackness filling your vision and ears ringing. You came back to your senses to Buck pulling you into his arms, pressing his mouth to your forehead.

“You good now doll?” His voice soft as his fingers run through your hair. You nodded, taking a couple deep breaths to recollect yourself.

“All good, and now it’s my turn.” You grin at him, spinning the two of you around so he rested against the counter now, as you fell to your knees. His arousal was evident enough, straining against the pants that he wore. The smirk on his face grew as he undid the belt and shoved his pants down, his cock springing free. You didn’t even thing before taking his all the way down, thanking whatever god is out there that you didn’t have a gag reflex. He stretched your mouth to the brim and the taste of him was making you get even more wet. As you pulled back your hands came to jerk off whatever wasn’t in your mouth. He had that look in his eyes, and he tapped the back of your hand three times and you nodded.

He started out with a couple soft thrust, using your hair as a guide. His eyes never left yours as he thrust his hips further, watching you take all of him in your mouth. That started the pace of a couple seconds of rough, then letting your breath before starting again.

You didn’t complain once.

Just the feeling of being utterly and completely used was enough to satisfy you for a while. The eye contact, you couldn’t /wouldn’t/ look away. His gaze was too captivating, luring you into him. you tried to relax as best as you could, feeling you throat tighten ever so slightly as he forced you all the way down, her nose brushing against his lower stomach. God you loved this side of Bucky.

Tears spilled down your face as well as spit dripped down your chin. You could feel his thrust start to stutter slightly and he pulled you off and bent you over the table and shoved him into you in one swift thrust. You let out a moan, fingers clenching the table cloth as he pounded relentlessly into you. His hips slapped against your ass and all you could do was take it, moans and pleads slipping out from your mouth.

His fingers left bruises on your hips as grunts and whispers of words left him, and he pulled you up and against his hands heading to your tits, pinching your nipples with the right amount of pressure. You felt yourself dripping and knew you could only last a couple more minutes at the most before you came again.

“You like fucking my tight cunt don’t you?” You whispered to him, glancing up at him, lust, want and need shining in you eyes.He let out a noise of his own.

“You feel so good around my cock doll, it’s like you were made for me.” His hand slipped to your throat and squeezed gently, only building the tightening in your stomach. It only took a couple more thrust before you clenched around him and came hard. Stars once again filled your vision and you could only let sharp gasps and whines slip from your parted lips. His hips thrust once, twice and then you could feel him cumming inside you, filling you to the brim. His breaths came out in pants against your neck before he pulled himself out of you, pulling you tightly into his arms.

Your own breathing was heavy as you leaned into his arms.

“How about a shower and then a nap? Then I’ll tell you all about the mission?”

Going off an earlier tag, I think if if Steve walked in on soldier boy doing bad things, there are two possible scenerios.

Scenerio One

If it was TFA or Ultron Steve, he'd try and reason with Soldier Boy. Try and remind him of all the good he could do in the world. He'd also tell him to quit smoking because it's a disgusting habit because that Steve is a good 'ol boy

Now, Soldier Boy is just gonna be all -

Then they'd fight, two gorgeous men using their shields and powers in some mighty fisticuffs until SB realizes all Steve really needs is to get dicked down - that'll help him loosen up *ahem* and it just so happens his dick is up *double ahem* to the job.

***

Scenerio Two

Now, if it was Nomad Steve - Lord have mercy!

Nomad is so over being patronized and has learned the power of a good fuck. He's up for anything and with anyone, and with Bucky being tended to elsewhere, he's just ready for a good fight that's gonna end up with him being balls deep inside Soldier Boy.

Now, I don't see SB giving in so easy at first, but when faced with the God that is this man

He's absolutely going to turn into a crazy cock-slut like the rest of us

Now, personally I'm rooting for Nomad because - fuck

But I may be convinced to sway the other way in an alternative universe.

Thoughts?

Lovely, I'm happy with both scenarios!

For the first, I can't help but think Bucky should be there, too. A little vulnerable after Steve rescued him and isn't going anywhere without him. Maybe Soldier Boy ends up inside Steve while Steve is inside Bucky. 🔥

God, can you imagine him as a Howling Commando?

The second, hehe. Soldier Boy running his mouth after being released in present time and Nomad having none of that. SB would put up a fight for sure and Steve would have fun taking him down.

"'Original superhero' my ass."

Maybe Nomad can attend Herogasm and fuck SB again. 🔥

Third scenario, no one gets dusted in IW and SB ends up spitroasted between our super soldiers. Again, he may put up a fight, but who doesn't want to be the meat in that sandwich? 😏

*SB to the super soldiers*

Love and thanks! ❤️

For the top five meme: either top five Thor & Loki interactions or Steve & Nat interactions. Your choice!

I am currently in my Steve phase, so I'll go Steve & Nat!

The Camp Lehigh + Zola scene in TWS. It's a scene where there are a lot of terrible revelations coming to the fore, and they're both in the same place with them, plus the staging in that scene is just flawless; it's a really gorgeous, heartbreaking scene. Plus I'm a sucker for Steve protecting Natasha, especially from a friggin' missile strike.

Steve coming to find Natasha in The Avengers to tell her they're going to New York, and instantly trusting her read on Clint. This is such a short scene, but they've had very little one on one interaction before. At this point Steve doesn't know anything about her; they haven't really worked together except in the sense that she's been wrangling him (presumably once Fury realized that Steve was reacting really badly to Coulson); he may or may not have gotten a file on her, though signs point to no. He doesn't go to Fury once he and Tony know where Loki's headed; he goes to her. Steve tends to make very quick judgments on people and this is no exception.

The entire bridge sequence in TWS -- they're separate for most of the fight, but given that it starts (post Sitwell's defenestration) with Natasha jumping into Steve's lap to keep him from being shot (and then kicking Sam out of the way of another bullet while Steve puts the car in park), it's just...very good. (The whole bit is just a great contrast to the Bruce/Nat face-boobs smush in AoU, because this is a scene where Natasha also pulls Steve's face down into her chest, but it's played as unremarkable in context.) They just tag-team very well.

They don't have a lot of (any?) actual back-and-forth conversation in IW, but I love how in sync they are throughout the film. They're consistently presented as equals in the ways they're shot -- in Edinburgh side by side, in the Avengers Compound side by side, in Wakanda going together with T'Challa to talk to Proxima Midnight. They're paralleled elsewhere in their fight scenes too -- Nat gets trapped by Proxima the same way Steve is by Corvus. (I don't think these are good fight scenes, but I appreciate the parallel.)

Steve and Nat in the roof on TWS, when Steve does his whole "no, [throwing you off the roof isn't my style]; it's hers" bit with Sitwell. They both look so uninterested by the whole thing while Sitwell's falling screaming, it's just great. (I'm sure they probably planned it, but I also think it's funnier if they didn't plan it and Steve just trusted Natasha to do it and Sam to grab him.)

Bonus: elevator makeout because Reasons

Can I scream about giant omega Bucky with you? 😭 he’s just so gorgeous 😭😭😭 he’s like an Amazon, and pre-serum Steve would be his tiny husband. I’m sorry for the dramatization but they are very cute to me

Omg yes please do it’s my absolute kryptonite!

I love thinking about how people would view omega Bucky in an a/b/o verse where O is the equivalent of female to us because like...

He’d be like the embodiment of every ‘not to be a lesbian but omg’ post.

Think of some big strong badass brunette goth-Amazonian characters.

Xena, Wonder Woman, Furiosa, Trinity, Jessica Jones, Private Vasquez, River Tam, Rosa Diaz, any Michelle Rodriguez character, Sarah Connor, as a cyborg.

That’s how omega!Bucky would read to other people! 😩

And y’know ScarJo’s husky voice, and how that’s part of her appeal? Bucky’s voice would be a husky voice for an omega, too. You’d never catch him putting on a fake soft/high girlie voice to attract alphas.

My fave daydream AU for ages has been about trans-omega Bucky being in a couple with alpha Steve, who acts like a beta and that’s part of why Bucky likes him; because he isn’t being arrogantly controlling and throwing his weight around.

And it’d be in a world where peoples’ scents are about who they're trying to attract, so straight demi-sexual Steve smells like a (scentless) beta to everyone (and gets treated like one) because he's been with Bucky since they were kids and isn't trying to attract anyone else (and also for health reasons).

And that means, because he knows Bucky is an omega (and is trying to attract him with his scent even tho Bucky is maybe assigned b or a at birth), that Steve only gives off alpha-scent when Bucky is around. Like Bucky is literally what gives Steve a boost in status.��

And after Steve gets serum he's the alpha-est but omegas still can't get him to give off scent for them (and are like 'wait, Captain America's a beta?!') ...because he only does that when Bucky’s there.

And then Bucky perhaps transitioning post-WS and still being 6′ 1″ to Steve’s (fuck it let’s go crazy) 6′ 4″, lookin' like a plus-size supermodel a la Ashley Graham, and because they’ve both got serum they’re the only ones that can really make each other feel like alpha/omega and ofc they’d have like soulmate level compatible scents.

I like thinking about how sexual dimorphism (trimorphism?) would affect this too, his and Steve’s looks in this ‘verse? Like, pre-serum Steve wasn’t very hairy (and wasn’t immediately after serum) but then in IW Steve has got Cevans’ beard situation going on. So, like, is that the alpha coming out? Would omega Bucky be the equivalent/opposite? Would it mean he has great skin? Great hair? More delicate bone structure? (Basically canon reasons for him to be an especially pretty twunk?)

Also like to imagine Bucky being bi and omega!catnip in this scenario and there being a running joke about if there are any lesbians around Bucky will find them and if he can’t find them he will create them. 😅 (Omega!Bucky taking Steve to lesbian bars and Steve being like ‘ugh finally I can relax in public without getting pawed at!’)

And Bucky and Nat getting close as friends and her being like his unofficial omega-life coach, (and him in turn introducing her to the horrors joys of cat-ownership). Going to ballet / dance classes together, high end nail salons, hairdressers, spas; clothes shopping, paintball days, track days, firing ranges. Y’know, girl stuff. 🥰

#long post #dat's me #hey nonny #toAyourQ #stuckbunny #ficbunny #au idea #omega!bucky #alpha!steve #stucky #steve rogers #bucky barnes #MCU #yet each man queues the thing he loves #oh and also it's bucky w/ a pussy because why not go the whole 9 yards right?

I mean yeah endg🖕🏻me!steve was shit but did they really have to take that fine beard and hair too?really?🤬😡.i will never be over this

Listen, I adore clean-shaven Steve in the earlier movies, and Chris without a beard is so so pretty, but somehow, EG Steve was all wrong. He's like a completely different person. They tried to tame passionate, wild, gorgeous Steve who had always fought for what he believed in to the point where he'd go rogue just to defend and protect it (and Bucky), by giving him a suburban soccer dad make-over and a trophy wife. Losing the beard and longer hair and putting him back into slacks and clean shirts was the physical counterpart of what they did to his arc in EG. They just made him into something he wasn't and it makes me so sad (and angry yes because the beard and hair in IW were GLORIOUS)

I Still Need You, I Still Want You Masterlist

III. Fresh Air (NSFW)

Favorite Fics Masterlist

The walk wasn’t long and the weather was perfect. It gave your time to think about what you were going to say to Bucky. Steve had called with his monthly check in, it had surprised you due to the hour he called. He knew the time here in Wakanda and he always enjoyed talking to the both of you. So when he called, you had wondered why.

You entered the clearing and got a good view of yours and Bucky’s home. The view of the tree covered mountain always put a smile on your face. No matter what kind of mood you were in. Movement from the corner of your eye caught your attention.

Bucky was playing with two kids from the Border Tribe. You knew these kids pretty well, their parents were hard workers. These boys must have gotten it from their parents because, they would help Bucky with just about anything. Bucky loved it and it made you fall in love all over again with him whenever you saw him with kids.

You continued to walk towards the house with that smile on your face. The days where you saw Bucky messing around and just being himself, God it made you want to give him a child right away. Even you wanted a kid, but in you one year of marriage, it was still you and Bucky. Then again, with how busy the two of you were, you guys never had that conversation.

“Ah, there she is,” Bucky sat up from the ground. “My beautiful and most gorgeous wife.” He stood up and made his way towards you. Soon, you were wrapped in his arm with your lips pressed to his. “I got a lot done today with the twins help,” He mumbled into your lips. “All there’s left is dinner and dessert.” Bucky’s hand slid down from to cup your right ass cheek making you squeal.

“Well,” you pulled back to stare into his blue eyes. The longer he stared at you the darker they got. “Why don’t we send the boys home with some food and we get to work on the rest of the evening.” You motioned the boys to follow you into the house. Soon, they were off with a basket of fruit, bread, cookies and soup.

“Thank you Mister and Missus Barnes!” They called over their shoulders as they walked away. Your cheeks tingled as they called your by Bucky’s last name. You still never got over that people called you Missus Barnes.

You and Bucky had a short ceremony a week after he proposed. Tony would have had a cow if he found out the you weren’t going to have a huge and ravishing wedding. You didn’t care, all that mattered was you and Bucky. Given the circumstances, the ceremony had to be small. T’Challa officiated the wedding, making legal in every binding way. Shuri and Okoye were the witnesses. You had worn a small, simple Wakandan gown while Bucky wore a button up shirt and pants.

While you watched the boys disappear over the hills, Bucky snaked his arm around your waist and pressed his lips to your neck. You closed your eyes, “Steve called earlier,” you said cutting off whatever Bucky was doing.

“Really? Why so early?” He had the same tone of confusion and wonder you had. Bucky had always loved talking with his friend.

You turned in his arm and stared up at him. “He wants us to meet him in Berlin tomorrow evening. He says he may have found a way to clear everyone’s names.”

Bucky took a step back. You immediately knew where his thoughts were going. “He want’s to run it by all off us and we have to let him know in the morning.” You closed the space between the two of you. You reached up to grab the collar of his shirt, “I did tell him that we made Wakanda our home so if his plan works we will be still be living here.”

Bucky smiled. “Good,” he slowly started to back you into the wall. “We can call him tomorrow and tell him we’ll be there. How we skip right to dessert?” Bucky’s chest gently pinned you to the wall and he trailed a slow kiss from the base of your neck to your lips and down again. It sent a shiver down your spine.

“Do you want kids?” You blurted out.

Bucky pulled away, the lust disappearing from his eyes. “Yes, why? Are you…?”

You shook your head. “No. I just see how well you are with the kids that pass by through here. You’re so great with them and I just know that if we have a few of our own, you’ll make the perfect father.”

Bucky cupped your chin with his hand. “Are you wanting to try? Starting tonight?” There was small smile forming on his lips.

A smile plays on the corner of your lips as well.

Moments later, You laying on your back while Bucky hovers over you. You reach between your naked bodies and take hold of Bucky’s hardened cock. A small and almost silent moan slips from Bucky’s mouth. You give his cock two slow pumps before lining him up with your aching entrance.

Bucky slowly pushed into you, causing your eye to close and roll back. “Open those gorgeous eyes, Doll,” Bucky stated to thrust in and out of you at a decent pace. You opened your eyes and see Bucky staring down at you. “Do you know how beautiful you are?”

“You tell me everyday, love,” You lifted your hips up to meet Bucky half way. Each time the two of your met, a soft groan escaped your lips. “Do you know how lucky I am to have you?”

Bucky chuckled. “Only when we’re having sex.”

You playfully smack his chest. “I was being serious.”

“I know,” Bucky laughed and dipped down to press his lips to yours. While pushing himself further into you, causing you to moan into his mouth.

“You know what,” you pushed Bucky onto his back and straddled him. “Screw the slow and sensual crap. I’m going to make tonight feel like this is going to be the last time we ever do this.”

Bucky’s eyes darkened. “In that case, Doll, get on all fours.”

***

The next morning you and Bucky are doing some work, when Bucky purposefully bumped into you spilling some water from the bucket he was carrying. You turned to him to see him laughing as he continued to walk away. You shook your head as you thought up your move.

You walked over to where he stood next to the compost pile. As you walked by, you bumped his hips with yours, causing Bucky to lose his balance and fall into the compost. You covered your mouth to fight the laughter.

Bucky sat up in the pile and stared at you. You dropped your hand while the smile was still on your lips. “Next time you’ll think twice about splashing me with water.”

“Oh no you don’t,” Bucky lunged forward. You tried to move away but Bucky managed to his hand on you and pull you back into the compost with him. “Now, I think we’re even,” Bucky’s hand trailed down to your thigh and gave it a small, little squeeze.

“I love you,” you pressed your lips to his before standing up. “I have to go help Shuri and make that call to Steve.”

The moment you stood on your feet and turned around, you wished you hadn’t. There, entering the clearing and walking towards you and Bucky was T’Challa and some of his guards. It wasn’t the guards that followed the King of Wakanda that bothered you, it was the big, narrow case that accompanied them.

You knew that case all too well. If the case was being brought, you knew something was going to happen.

You looked back at your husband, all smiles and playful behavior no longer painted his face. The look of dread and sadness had taken it’s place. It was almost similar to the look he had before going back on ice. It ripped your heart out to see that look on his face.

“I’m sorry to break up such a fun moment,” T’Challa sounded like he was talking to someone of a higher power than him.

He gestured to the guards to bring the case up. You held your breath as they opened it. There sat the black and gold metal arm you helped Shuri design. You watched as Bucky slowly approached the case to get a better look at the arm. You could see that part of him is excited about the arm, for you had told him all about it and what it could do. The other part is that he knows that he will have to put it on. Both of you knew it.

Bucky Barnes may have been tired to fight, but he would fight to protect the world. And you, you were his entire world. The one thing keeping him going and not just flat out giving up. He would do just about anything, even if it meant dying, to make sure you lived to see another day.

“Where’s the fight?” he asked in a hollow voice.

T’Challa looked between the two of you. He hated this just as much as you did. “On it’s way.”

***

You stood looking through the window and watched as your husband got his arm on. It looked painful in your opinion, but Bucky’s face made no indication that it hurt him. He just stared at the ceiling until the procedure was finished.

There wasn’t much said about why you guys were needed. Just that Steve was on his way here and would fill you all in when he arrived. You knew it must have been urgent if Steve wouldn’t give the full story.

“Hey,” Bucky’s voice pulled your back from your thoughts. You turned around and immediately stared at the metal arm on your husband. Suddenly, you were having some very impure thoughts about it. Maybe you should have convinced Bucky to have the arm sooner. All you wanted was to feel those cool, metal fingers on your bare skin. Gripping every part of your body.

“Hi,” you breathed out. You had to shake your head to distract you from the dirty thoughts about that arm.

“How do I look?” Bucky held out both arms and did a small little spin.

You rose an eyebrow with a smile on your face, “Do you want the clean answer or dirty answer to that?” Bucky closed the space between the two of you. His metal hand gripped your hip and pulled your closer to him. He was on to your thoughts.

“That depends,” his voice was right against your ear. It sent instant shivers down your spine. Yep, he was one hundred on to you. “Do you want the clean answer or dirty answer to how you look? Cause this tight outfit you’re wearing is already doing something to me. Where has this been the whole time?” Bucky’s metal hand snaked to your ass and gave it a small squeeze before backing you to a wall.

“Packed away with that arm of yours,” You slowly wrap your arms around his waist.

Bucky nuzzled your neck, sending more shivers down your back. “How come? We could have had loads of fun with this.”

“The last time I wore this, I fell a good story out of a helicopter,” you answered.

Bucky pulled back and stared at you. “What?” his eyebrows furrowed. “How? What were you doing? How come I never heard about that?”

You dropped your arms, “Because it happened while you were still on ice and I was doing something on the side for T’Challa. Gathering information.”

“Were you hurt?”

You took a deep breath. “Yes and Shuri made some upgrades so if I were to fall a good distance, the suit would take most of the impact.” The look on your husbands face tugged at your heart. He looked hurt that he didn’t know about those few months where you went out and did small missions. “Look,” you took his face in your hands. “I wasn’t intentionally keeping it from you and I’m sorry I never said anything about it. Let’s talk more about this later.”

Bucky pushed your back against the wall. “Only if you wear this,” he said before pressing his lips firmly to yours. His tongue slipped passed your lips and explored your mouth.

“And only if you keep that arm for a while,” you smile against his lips.

The sound of an air craft was heard, making both you and Bucky pull apart and look out the window. A smile formed on your face when you recognized the air craft. Spinning on your heel you raced out to the front, with Bucky following after you.

You waited impatiently for the Quinjet to land. When the loading hatch opened you watched as not only Steve walk out, but more of your friends. They approached T’Challa and you saw only one of them bow. Idiot, you thought. Then you realized who that idiot was.

“Oh my god, Bruce!” You whispered. You hadn’t seen since Sokovia and a lot of your had long sense thought he had died.

Then you locked eyes with Steve. You and Bucky approached him and he gave the both of you the biggest hug ever. It was two years worth of hugs.

“How are you guys doing?” He asked as he pulled away from Bucky.

“We’re good,” Bucky looked at you and smiled.

“What’s going on?” You asked.

Steve looked around him and then placed his hands on his hips. “Bruce, wanna tell them?”

You looked at Bruce, who walked slowly towards you. There as look on his face that instantly made you worried for some reason. “Someone called Thanos, he’s after what’s called the Infinity Stones. Vision was almost killed for the Mind Stone. We’re seeing if it can be taken off and destroyed without killing him before Thanos get’s it.”

“What does he want with them?” Bucky asked.

“He wants to wipe out half of the worlds population,” Bruce looked towards Bucky. “Who are you?”

“Bucky,” Bucky answered. “Barnes. I’m also Y/Ns husband.”

Bruce looked back at you. “You got married? Does Tony know? Wait speaking of Tony.”

Your heart skipped a beat when Bruce said Tony’s name like it was some sort of taboo thing. Bucky noticed the change in your posture. He took a step towards you and placed his hand in yours. “What about Tony?” Your voice was hard.

***

You stood in the lab as you processed what was said about your brother. You didn’t want to believe it but then again it was Tony. He did just about anything. You were so lost in thought you didn’t know what was being said about Vision or the stone on his head. You walked to the window and looked out into the distance.

“You doing okay?” Natasha was standing beside you.

“As good as I can be,” You looked over to her. She had cute and died her hair blonde. You weren’t going to lie, you liked it a lot. “I just hope he’s okay.”

“We all do,” Natasha rubbed your arm. “Does Tony know you married the man that killed your father?” You shook your head. “You know he might not take it well, when or if he finds out.”

“Tony will just have to suck it up, Bucky’s fixed now and isn’t who he was when he worked with HYDRA.” You were aware of the ear piece in your ear linking you to the rest of the team. Bucky had one too. You knew he heard all that was said and you knew what was going on through his head.

Howard and Maria Stark were the biggest contribution to his nightmares.

“Hey guys,” Sam’s voice rang in your ears. “Um, somethings trying to get in.”

“They won’t be able to,” Okoye said.

“Are you sure about that?” You watch as something hit the barrier that surrounds Wakanda. Then another one and soon you’re able to see the barrier itself.

You turned to see everyone staring out the window. Poor Vision was laying on the table looking helpless. Wanda was hovering over him and staying close to him. You could read her body language well. Wanda loved him.

T’Challa and Steve exchanged a few words and it appeared they agreed on something. “How much time do you need, Shuri?”

“As much as you can give me,” Shuri didn’t looked up from her spot. She was too engrossed with what she saw.

“Y/N,’ Steve was approaching you. “It’s best if you stay up here and protect Vision with Wanda.”

“I agree, Doll,” Bucky’s voice was in your ear. “Whatever’s coming sounds nasty and I want you as far from it as possible.”

“And if the fight comes towards me?”

“Then kick their asses and show them some hell,” Natasha smiled.

***

Hell is what you gave when three creatures broke into the lab. You were quick on your feet but not too quick. One had thrown you off a landing right next to Vision. You got up and did the only thing you thought of.

“Get out of here Vision!” You helped Vision off the table until something crashed into the two of you sending the two of you through the window.

You slid the slanted roof trying to find something to grab onto. You called out for help only to not get a response back. The edge of the roof was quickly approaching and your hand missed the edge by centimeters. You were then falling three stories down to the ground. Even though your suit could take the impact, you weren’t so sure about your head. Then something grabbed you midair before setting your down. You looked up and saw Rhodey flying away back towards the fight. You made a mental note to try and thank him later.

“Guys, we got ourselves a Vision situation,” Sam said.

“Somebody get to Vision,” Steve yelled.

“Already on it,” You replied. You started to weave in and out of the threes looking for Vision. From a distance you heard a clap of thunder and soon saw a flash of lighting and you knew who just entered the fight.

Something crashed into you and sent you flying to a nearby three. Your head smacked against the trunk. You cried out and landed face first into the ground. Whatever threw you, picked you up by gripping a chunk of your hair. They were disgusting looking and part of you felt like that moment was it. You were a goner. Then they dropped you as they fell to their knees.

“You alright, Doll,” Bucky helped you up and looked you over.

“I think so,” you were breathing hard. “Not my finest hour.”

Suddenly there was gust of wind. Something was changing and it raised goosebumps on every part of your body. You looked around to see a cloud of blue burst and a purple looking thing walked out. One hand was covered in a gold glove with gems on it. Thanos, you thought.

“That’s him,” you heard Bruce say.

Then everyone was racing towards him. Anyone who got close to him was thrown back. Bruce was thrown into boulder. Natasha was pinned under earth that rose from the ground. Bucky was thrown into a three. You and Steve were the only ones who got close.

You slid in between Thanos’s legs and jumped onto his shoulders. You pulled the knife from your thigh holster. Before you could stab the knife into him, Thanos pulled on your leg and then gripped your neck with one of his giant hands. With each second it was tightening and you barely able to breath. You clawed at the giant hand but failed. The look on his face has a faint smile. He was taking pleasure in killing you.

“No!” Bucky’s voice was heard from someone.

The grip on your neck loosened some, giving you some breathing air. Thanos looked towards the sound and back at you. He looked you over and then flung you into a tree. You landed on the ground, the wind being knocked out of you.

You rolled over onto you knees to watch what happened next.

It all happened in slow motion. Wanda was holding off Thanos while destroying the stone on Visions head. You saw the heartbroken look on her face. She didn’t want to do it but she knew she needed to. Vision had closed his eyes and you knew that he made peace with what was happening.

Then Vision and the stone were gone.

But that isn’t what surprised you.

Thanos did something on that glove of his hand. All the while, he spoke quietly to Wanda. Green surrounded that area and suddenly, Vision was back. Wanda realized what was going to happen, so she jumped up and was thrown back by Thanos. Then Thanos had Vision by the neck and ripped the stone right off his head.

Vision was gone again.

Everything started to change when you saw and axe fly passed your head. Thor was then attacking Thanos and digging his axe deep into his opponents chest when Thor stopped. His head turned when he saw Thanos raise his hand up and snap the fingers that were in the gloved hand.

Everything, everywhere was silent and it sent chills down your spine. Something happened and you knew that something was bad and going to leave you heart broken.

“What did you do?” Thor yelled but Thanos disappeared leaving the group to stare at one of another.

You walked up to Steve who was a few feet from you and helped him up. He walked over to Wanda who was next to Visions body. The look on her face was pure brokenness.

Little did you know…

“Y/N? Steve?”

You turned and froze. Bucky had been making his way towards you when he started to turn to dust. You quickly ran over to him and right when you got within grabbing range he fell to the ground. Dust at your feet.

“No,” you whispered as your knees gave out beneath you. Your hand ran through what was left of your husband. You felt your entire world grow cold. You felt pressure on your chest as you covered your mouth to suppress the sob that took over your body. The of you were happy and talking about having kids and now, not even twenty four hours later, you were left alone looking at the literal ashes of your husband.

You let out a scream you didn’t know your body or vocal cords were capable of.

Soooo first things first just for the record I got my paper done and it's looking promising for the final draft so big fucking hell yeah BUT additionally finals coming up triggered the need for Comfort reading in my brain again, which means Finally getting caught up on Everything that I hadn't gotten around to reading before SO. These last couple chapters of LAL just. UGH. I love this verse SO much. I don't know what about western aus always have me hesitant to start them, but every time I read the newest LAL chapter I'm literally So glad that I actually decided to pick it up as you're writing it instead of waiting for it to be finished because its SO GOOD. The fire had me Very worried it's been so much going from 'hey bucky's thinking about kids omg thats so cute' and then 'UM??? there's a flood and they're dying maybe??? (probably not but OUCH?)' and then 'well they're hurt but they'll make it it's okay. it's fine it's great' and then 'HEY pierce is a piece of Shit and I Hate Him ew gross bad' and THEN 'oh my god????? everything's burning??? holy shit???' BUT THEN 'oh. ohohohoho. OH. Pierce is- oh. shit. damn. okay. well. that's one way to take out the trash' and anyway it's been a goddamn rollercoaster But I am strapped the hell in and ready to go where ever you damn well take me. Lone Pine burning broke my little heart, But I'm also so excited to see them build the new cabin together!! It made me think of Time Falls Away and that cabin and UGH I just love all of them building the cabin together and its Theirs because its like yes the old cabin was theirs and it was wonderful and it was home, but this new cabin won't have endured any of the old Yuck that the old one did. Like this one is just the good things and all the love and Hhh I have a lot of feelings about it okay. Also (guilty confession) during the whole fire chapter the thought that just kept circling through my head was like 'this sucks, fire is bad, and this is going to be absolutely devastating, but any plant life that comes back after this is going to be such a gorgeous green' because like. that's the thing I remember from my dad telling me stories about when a fire took out a few fields when he was a kid, was like. the grass was green as Shit the next year because fire definitely destroys shit, but it also clears out all the old rot and like. I just think that's such a cool thing, you know. (the longer I make this ask the more I'm chuckling to myself because I'm starting to seriously wonder if desktop asks have a limit because it sure looks like they don't really) Sam and Clint have absolutely my Entire heart Sam is So good and I love him So much he's just trying to do his damn best even if that means trying to save The most scumbaggiest person I've ever seen and just UGH those two ALSO i'm So excited for all of everybody to come see Tony and to probably more than likely threaten steve and bucky within an inch of their lives even though that is obviously Absolutely unnecessary because those boys are the Most head over heels in love and OUGH I know we're coming a lot closer to the end, and I don't think I'll ever be quite ready to let this verse go, but I'm More than ready to see what else you've got up your sleeve. :)

Whoohoo! Good job on the paper!

I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for Tony and having the little cabin of his dreams.

I wrote Time Falls Away (Book One) either right before or right after IW came out, and then I finished the trilogy with Time Stands Still before End Game happened and when I tell you I SCREAMED sitting in the theater watching Tony come out of his cabin?? by the water?? It was like someone had reached out and took the idea right from my story and put it in the movie it was so surreal and so wonderful.

And youre right, after the fire comes the regrowth and that first new grass/new leaves after a fire are somehow just so VIBRANT. My little town is very high fire risk, in fact earlier summer 2021 we were on pre-evac orders because the fire was twenty miles down the highway and if it jumped the road and came East then I would have to evacuate out to Phoenix, and I've been through a couple different fires in the ten years I've been up here and no matter the devastation... that next spring or even the following spring if it takes a little more time, everything comes back SO BEAUTIFUL its absolutely incredible.

Definitely a metaphor for our boys in this story, and with Tony being a literal Phoenix metaphor in canon, the idea of rebuilding from the ashes/ surviving the fire and being better than ever on the other side is so important for his character arc!

Long Lost Love (Part 6)

Prompt: Clint just lost everything. He turns to you – an old friend and an old flame – for comfort. Can you keep your old feelings at bay? Can he?

Word Count: 2611

Warnings: The Snap, grief, loss, mentions of abuse throughout series, angst will be the best friend in this fic

Note: This was written after IW, but before Endgame - so I have my own take on how certain things happened. Couldn’t have done this without @arrow-guy @carryonmyswansong @like-a-bag-of-potatoes (my amazing betttaa!) @mrs-dragneel-stark-solo

Aesthetic by @dontshootmespence

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When you awoke the next morning, you were filled with a mix of wonder, hope, and worry. You wondered if Clint would regret his actions and reject you. You wondered if he’d feel guilty or ashamed. You didn’t know how he’d react at all. You only hoped that he felt happy that he did what he did last night.

You made your way downstairs to find him making a big breakfast, whistling, with a towel over his shoulder as he prepared breakfast.

“Morning,” you softly said.

He turned and greeted you with a dazzling smile. “Good morning.” He came over and kissed you again, quick but firm and earnest. He went back to cooking.

“Making breakfast I see, need a hand?”

“Nope, I’ve got it. It’s almost done,” he assured.

You smiled, relieved that he was in a good mood and didn’t appear to regret anything.

The two of you worked on the farm all day together and he was nothing but smiles. You couldn’t figure out what had triggered the change in him, but whatever it was, you were thankful for it.

Time marched forward and the two of you seemed to fall into an easy rhythm, almost as if you’d never parted ways all those years ago on that train station platform. One night you two had a board game night to celebrate a hard day’s work. You played Scrabble with the rules that real words were not allowed, but for every word you made, you had to come up with a definition. You did this with every board game in the house. Real rules were thrown out, new rules were in. It was the most fun you’d had in… you couldn’t even remember how long. The two of you were in stitches the whole time until somehow you wound up on the couch, holding each other all night.

Another night, you two had smores, a small campfire, and both of you laid down, looking up at the stars.

“Well, this snap didn’t do anything good, at all, but if there’s a silver lining, the stars are a lot more visible with less people,” you mentioned.

“Pollution has dropped quite a bit,” he agreed. “It also helps to be in the middle of nowhere on a farm with one building that has lights,” he added.

“That too.”

“I’m glad I get to see it with you.” He took his hand and laced his fingers with yours and you felt your entire soul warm to the touch.

“Reminds me of being out at night after our acts,” you reminisced.

“Yeah, we always seemed to wind up in some amazing places,” he concurred.

“Every place was amazing so long as you were there,” you said.

So far, you and Clint hadn’t labeled what this was. You hadn’t addressed it directly since that first kiss. Part of you was terrified to say anything. That if you called attention to this, it would somehow wake him up from an illusion and he’d break it. He’d see that this wasn’t actually what he wanted. He would see you were Laura’s poor replacement, a rebound, a distraction, a coping mechanism.

You just didn’t want to face what was probably the truth: he didn’t love you - he loved the idea of you.

Allowing your fear to continue to rule you, and not let it take this precious time from you, you didn’t bring it up. You didn’t question why he wanted you now, you simply accepted it and graciously took the gift of having him be yours again.

But, when you said things like this, things that danced dangerously close to those three little words, you were afraid it would trigger the response in him you were trying to avoid.

He simply responded by saying, “I couldn’t agree more.”

It was reassuring… for now.

----------------------

One evening, while the summer air was very cool, Clint took you to a nearby water tower. He said the view was breathtaking and considering he had zero fear of heights, it made sense that he’d visit it. You followed him up to the top, and sat there, agreeing that looking out over the country side looked absolutely stunning. Of course, your fear of heights was vacant as well, because every now and then you had to do acrobatic work in the circus if you wanted to survive.

The two of you sat and talked, drinking beers, talking about nothing in particular for the longest time. After a moment of peaceful quiet, suddenly, Clint said, “You know, I wouldn’t mind seeing the team again. I know I call them off and on, but it’d be nice to actually have them back at the farm, at least once. Just to see their faces.”

You turned your head towards him, holding onto the railing as your feet dangled off the side. “I think that’s a great idea, Clint. If you want to invite them, I think you should. They’re your family after all. I know Nat would love to see you, and I know you’d love to see them.”

“You sure?” he asked.

You nodded. “Yeah. It’d be good for all of you. Not to mention, I’d like to properly meet them. I’ve done a few random patch up jobs for all of them but I’ve never said more than ten words to all of them.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I think you should meet them. You mean a lot to me and they mean a lot to me, it only makes sense to have all of you together.”

“I can make a big meal for everyone,” you said, delighted. “Fried chicken, some desserts. It’ll be a good time.”

“I think they’d love that,” he agreed. He seemed to be perking up more and more with every second you two talked about this. “I’ll call them first thing. How does this Sunday sound?”

“Any day is perfect,” you assured. “Just make sure I have enough time to get the house cleaned and to make a grocery run.”

“Will do.”

---------------------------

Clint called his team and two weeks later, they were at the farmhouse, the whole group of them. Rhodey, Natasha, Steve, Tony, Pepper, their baby Morgan, Thor, and Bruce. They came early on Sunday morning and Clint introduced you to everyone.

He didn’t go into any detail about your past or your present situation. He merely said he had called you up because you were an old friend from the circus that was a vet so you knew your way around animals and the farm.

Thor seemed to be… putting on a show. You could tell he was careful not to let his smile fall unless he thought no one was looking. Tony and Steve seemed slightly tense, but with the way the world was they were trying to look past their issues.

You gave them all a moment to talk alone for a while. You and Pepper sat out on the porch, playing with baby Morgan and Lucky, talking casually for a while. Inside, you could only assume Nat, Steve, and the others Clint was closer to talked about Laura and the kids. You assumed they discussed the snap and more detail on what actually happened. You also assumed he expressed his deep regret for not going to help them.

Everyone greeted you and welcomed you with open arms and when it was time to serve lunch, everyone raved about your food. Thor and Bruce couldn’t get enough of your fried chicken. Pepper complimented you highly on your sparkling strawberry cake. Rhodey said he needed the recipe for your mac and cheese.

The entire day was spent just talking. It weaved in and out of sorrowful talk of who was gone and what had been done to try to think of ways to get everyone back, to what everyone was up to lately. Steve headed up a therapy group in the city, which made sense. Rhodey and Natasha were working almost round the clock to help police the world of any dangers. Tony, Pepper, and Morgan were just enjoying the closest thing to Tony and Pepper being retired as they could. They had a little cabin a little ways from the city on a gorgeous piece of property with a lake. Thor was working with his fellow Asgardians to rebuild their society somewhere off the coast of a Scandinavian area. Bruce had been recruited to work on ways to get resources efficiently.

Everyone was doing what they could to keep society going, to get it back to what it was, to try and not remember all the loss everyone faced every day.

Conversations flowed for a long while, well past dark. It was nice having so much life in the house and you loved seeing everyone. It was no wonder he loved these people. As dinner neared a close, you got up and started cleaning up. Everyone tried to pitch in to help too, but you simply waved them off, telling them you had it covered. Pepper refused to take no for an answer, as did Rhodey. You said they needed to spend time with Clint, but both of them said that the others should really spend time with him.

Clint said he’d get out of the way then and they went outside to the porch. Nearly everyone had a beer in hand as Tony, Steve, Nat, and Bruce followed.

“So, uh, what’s up with Y/N in there?” Tony asked in a hushed tone as he turned to face Clint. The group of them stood in a circle facing each other.

“What do you mean, Tony?” Clint asked, feigning ignorance as he stood there with his arms crossed.

“I mean, what’s the deal? You said you knew her from your circus days. You still keep in contact with all your old circus buddies?” he pressed, knowing Clint despised his past and never talked about it. The only reason any of them even knew about Clint’s past was because they’d read his file.

“No, I don’t keep in touch with anyone but her. She was the only good thing to come out of those horrible elements.”

“So she’s your oldest friend, then,” Thor suddenly said.

“You could say that, yeah. We grew up together…” he replied. All of them could tell there was more he wanted to say, more to say, but he stopped himself.

“Alright, come on, let’s give the guy some space. He’s been through enough,” Natasha tried, wanting them to drop it. Clearly he wasn’t comfortable.

“Well, whatever she is to you, if she makes you happy and keeps you sane, then I’m glad she’s here,” Steve encouraged with a half smile.

“Thanks, Cap,” he said with a head nod. “Yeah, I… When that all happened, I really thought I was just going to lose it. I sat here and stared, not knowing what to do next. Lucky snapped me out of it, but if I didn’t have him, or these animals to care for… I tell ya, my mind went to some dark places. Y/N keeps me grounded though. She helps me on good days and bad.”

“That’s good to hear, man, we're happy for you,” Bruce said.

“We really are,” Nat agreed.

“I’m not gonna say I’m not happy for you, I am,” Tony said, but there was clearly a punchline coming, “but I gotta know, what is the deal? Did you ever date or think of dating Y/N? She seems perfect for you. Knowing each other for all those years, in those conditions, and now she’s back in your life? That’s some heavy stuff man.”

“Tony,” Nat started, her face dropping down before smiling, “I think Clint loves her, but he’s too afraid to admit it right now.”

“That so?” he asked, seeming amused. “I’ll be damned.”

Clint looked at Nat with an unreadable expression. He was half-glad that she said it and he didn’t have to. He was also worried what his friends would think of him, loving you after what happened to his family.

“I don’t want you all to think I don’t love and miss Laura, I do,” Clint started, looking at all of his friends.

“None of us think that, Clint,” Steve assured, but he pressed on.

“You gotta understand, I loved Y/N when we were kids. We were teens. We had that teenage love, you know? It never went away. We never grew out of it. We had to run from our life in the circus, we thought it would be safest if we split up. We said we’d get our lives back on track… Life… life had other plans I guess and I met Laura. I didn’t mean for it to happen, but it did.”

“You don’t have to explain anything to us, buddy,” Bruce said.

“No, I know. I think I’m trying to assure myself. To remind myself I’m not a bad person for loving her. She and I… we have history. Being with her… it’s all I ever wanted. It’s what I wanted for years, and now in a sick twist, I can have her. I feel guilty about it, I do, but we love each other, and I don’t see any good reason to deny ourselves of that. I mean, it may be awful to say, but Laura’s not coming back.” Tears filled his eyes and he started to break down before the group came to the rescue and consoled him with hugs and rubbing his back. When he got calmed down he said, “So I just… I don’t see a reason to put off happiness, you know?”

“We get it,” Nat stated, nodding her head with a sympathetic smile.

Clint nodded, wiping his face. “I’m glad. I’d hate for you guys to think I’m some awful human.”

“Awful for wanting to be with someone you love?” Steve asked, perplexed. “If I could have Peggy back, I’d take her in a heartbeat, no matter how the universe brought her to me.”

“Yeah, take it from Pep and me, we wanted to start our family. The world is in shambles but we’ve waited long enough to start our lives together,” Tony said.

“We’re the last people on earth to have any right to judge and at the end of the day, we just want you to be happy,” Nat informed sweetly, squeezing his shoulder.

He smiled and looked up at his friends. “I love you guys, I really missed you.”

They all smiled back at him and they each hugged. They all needed it more than they knew.

Eventually, the team came back inside and Pepper and Tony packed up Morgan and everyone started saying their goodbyes and loading into cars. Natasha was the last to leave, giving you both hugs.

“Thank you, for taking care of him,” she quietly said as she wrapped her arms around you.

You peered at her, confused at first before nodding. “Of course.”

She hugged Clint and kissed his cheek. She waved to you too, ordered that you call her more often, then got in her car and drove off.

The two of you smiled at each other and held hands as you walked in.

“That was a really nice day,” you said happily.

“Yeah, it was. I’m so glad we did this. Thank you for all you did and encouraging me to invite them,” he said as he put his arms around your waist, holding you close.

“Anything to see you happy,” you informed.

“I know, that's why I’m so lucky to have you.” He planted a firm kiss on your lips and then you two went off to bed, separately.

FIC

1872

Say My Name - @citsiurtlanu Steve reminds Tony that there's more to him than the war his weapons were used in.

616

Snow Day - @captainneverever The Avengers think that Steve and Tony got engaged at the annual holiday party. It’s news to Steve and Tony.

Kiss me rough before you go - erde Tony is dying. His life is slipping away and Steve wants to be better than this, but he can't quite manage the feat. Tony's war has made a bitter man out of him, a lesser man.

Boys, boys, boys - Missy_dee811 (@viudanegraaa) (AU) Steve keeps putting off his oil change. Finally deciding to see the mechanic in town.

Without the rusty music of my machine - Missy_dee811 (@viudanegraaa) Tony was lying on the hood of his car. He had taken off his leather jacket, gently folded it in half, and draped it across the windshield so he could rest his arms on the supple leather.

Muddy Waters - RossKL (@but-damn-is-he-lovable) (also on Tumblr) Tony bleeds. It's not real.

ANY

(A Dream is) A Wish Your Heart Makes - @helovedyou Cool evenings together and laughing free and all the nice things Tony never thought he’d get

Afternoon Off - Neverever (@captainneverever) Freedom is just another word for getting with your boyfriend on the downlow during a mission.

BULLET POINTS

Those We Were (For A While) - sadisticsparkle The blueprints hadn’t prepared Tony for the light bouncing off the battered metal, for the empty stare of its empty eye sockets or the dim circle in the middle of the chest. He traced its lines with his gaze, remembering every day he had spent hunched over the schematics picking its inner workings and every night he had spent sprawled under its pilot letting him take Tony apart.

MCU

border state - @areiton (also on Tumblr) They exist in the in between.

star crossed - @areiton (also on Tumblr) "The gods made the stars,” you whisper, a lifetime ago, a heartbeat ago, now, “and they were so bright, so beautiful and strong, that they ripped them in two. And half of ‘em fell to earth, and woke from the dust and walked as men.”

this is how - @areiton (also on Tumblr) This is how the world ends: Gaps in the code.

kiss me hard before you go - duckmoles & starxreactor (AU) “I love you, you know that?” Tony says just after popping another grape into Steve’s mouth. He watches as Steve’s jaw works, chewing and then swallowing. Steve smiles up at Tony with a bright, toothy grin. “I love you, too.” “I’m going to miss you,” Tony continues. “I’m going to call you everyday, okay? And—and, during the holidays I’ll show up at your house and we can—we can—sit together on the balcony, and—” The last day of summer, and it's time to hold on to what you might lose.

No Winter Lasts Forever - Fluffypanda (@ayapandagirl) Steve stopped, white breath clouding the air around him, to look at the little shoots of green and purple peeking out from the scant layer of snow left on the ground.

snippet of a post-apocalyptic A/B/O AU WIP - Fluffypanda (@ayapandagirl) Steve’s fingers traced the bite, a half-moon of red marks, from in front of the largest mirror he’d ever seen.

the first blush of morning - Fluffypanda (@ayapandagirl) (AU) The sun rises on the Atlantic ocean and Steve isn't alone - or is he?

Santa Paws - @heartsandmuses [I]f there were two things the public couldn’t get enough of, it was cute puppies and shirtless Captain America — and Tony, ever the philanthropist, decided to give the people exactly what they wanted, right on Christmas morning.

Philautia - @helovedyou Tony dies and Steve keeps on living. Well. He doesn’t die. Living might be a bit of a generous term

To the Victor - @helovedyou There are rainbows flying and people hugging and others ranting and raving, spittle flying, he thinks this. We have won this, this tiny victory.

Snippet of a WIP set post-IW - @ishipallthings The numbers keep climbing, for hours, in the aftermath.

Shuffle Off This Mortal Coil - jellybeanforest (@jellybeanforest-a-go-go) (also a Cap-IM Bingo 2020 round 1 fic) Tony hadn’t been a cruel man, but he had been a practical one. Or: In his twilight years, concerned about how his slow-aging possibly-immortal husband will adjust to his death, Tony builds an AI version of himself that he updates nightly, intending for it to keep Steve company after he’s gone. When the inevitable comes to pass, Steve doesn’t know what to make of the AI or whether its presence lessens his grief or makes it significantly worse. He’s leaning towards the latter.

Five Bells - @lazywriter7 (also on Tumblr) After returning the Stones, Steve takes a detour through time.

if we’re gonna heal, let it be glorious - @littlemissstark forgiveness. The salty air was intense enough to wake Steve up completely, snapping any left over drowsiness away. He was alert despite the sky still being a shade of navy that tapered into a purple at the sea’s horizon. The world was still dormant, but Steve couldn’t stay asleep – not when he woke to coldness on the right side of the bed and empty arms.

In My Hands and Gone Again - @nostalgicatsea (also on Tumblr) Memories were like fish, Tony had explained, or the tease of one. A flash of silver, and his hands would plunge down. Sometimes he would catch one; other times, it would dart out of reach. He wouldn’t be sure whether it had been real or just a trick of the light, after.

Leaving You Forward - @nostalgicatsea (AU) It would be easy, staying here like this with Tony. But Steve knew he couldn't—because he had never taken the easy way out and because he loved Tony.

i choose: me, you, us - @onlymorelove (also a Cap-IM Remix Madness 2020 fic) “We, uh. We’ve been together five years, and you’ve never— I’ve never let you see it. I told you I’d let you see it on our wedding night.” In which Tony and Steve marry, but Tony hasn't let Steve see the arc reactor—and the scars around it. Yet.

best of summers gone - rosycheeked (@lovelyisthedawn) Tony's favorite month has always been August.

when we all fall asleep - rosycheeked (@lovelyisthedawn) Tony wakes up and questions why Steve loves him. It's a surprisingly complex question for such a simple answer.

you anchor me (back down) - rosycheeked (@lovelyisthedawn) Steve still loves Tony, no matter what mask he’s wearing. He’ll never tell Tony that, though. He’s read enough books and watched enough movies to know that it only ends well when it’s just a story. Or, everyone needs an anchor sometimes, and Steve and Tony just happen to be each others’.

take me to the feeling - smalltonystark (@theotherwasdeath) Steve looks gorgeous in the lights. He always looks stunning, but here, late at night, in the faint glow from the streetlamps underneath them and underneath the stars, he looks magnificent.

POETRY

A Toast to Cold, Hard Facts - @onlymorelove (also on Tumblr) The world is brutal and coarse, but...

Love was fading stars - @onlymorelove (also on AO3) Blackout poetry based on “Failing and Flying” by Jack Gilbert on top of an original print.

not married - @onlymorelove (also on Tumblr) Grief works in mysterious ways.

#lightsonparkave #announcement #stevetony #stony #superhusbands #if anything looks wonky or is missing Tumblr has been acting up #every time I fix something it erases something else #so please know that I didn't intentionally leave you off if your work is missing or miscategorize you #if your universe disappears! :(

Avengers Endgame first impressions SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

Starting with cons, because they need to be expressed.

Cons:

- Thor’s characterization. There’s explanations that sound reasonable, but Jesus Christ I don’t think I’ve ever seen an established characterization get ruined this badly ever. The drinking I’m mostly fine with, but fucking Fortnite? Not staying on New Asgard? Someone call Taika, the old white men broke Thor again.

- Where the fuck was Carol the whole movie? I get that people were afraid she’d overshadow everyone, but the solution to that was not to restrict her screentime to all of like, 15 minutes. Out of a three hour movie. Speaking of...

- This movie did not need to be three hours long. If I could I’d take the lengths of this movie and Infinity War and swap them, because this movie has some really boring filler and nonsense scenes i.e. Cap v Cap.

- Steven fucking Moffat could write more consistent rules for time travel. They couldn’t be seen by their past selves, except Present Nebula literally killed her past self and there were no consequences? What the actual hell? Steve went back in time to be with Peggy which both raises questions about how he allowed SHIELDRA to be a thing, and how he didn’t break time.

- Peter Parker’s writing annoys me endlessly, but that’s nothing new. What was evident was the fact that Holland had no proper script for Tony’s death, so he was using the same performance as when he died in IW. Spoiler paranoia culture is fucking dumb.

- Hulk’s CGI was weird and freaked me out, but you know what was worse? Skipping the entire character arc Waititi started with Banner and Hulk starting to unite. Oh no, no need to do the hard work of actually writing the relationship developing properly, just timeskip!

- If you’re going in for the supposedly canon queer character introduction, don’t. It’s a male extra with about two lines who mentions going on a date with a ‘he’.

- Undoing all of Loki and Gamora’s character development is just gross.

Pros: - Morgan Stark was adorable.

- Rhodey got to shine once again. He was hilariously deadpan. Give me the War Machine Disney+ show, please.

- The performances were all good, but special shout-outs to Karen Gillan, RDJ, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, and Bradley Cooper.

- Extra special shout-out to Paul Rudd. I’m lukewarm on the Ant-Man movies, but he was utterly stellar here.

- The final battle was incredibly climactic. I may have issues with the length of the battle, but what was there was fantastically epic and felt like a grand conclusion to the Infinity Saga.

- The effects were all gorgeous. Special shout-out to the time travel effects, they were just plain cool.

- Cap with Mjolnir was awesome. I’m not the biggest Steve Rogers fan, but I can admit this felt properly earned and was properly incredible.

- Sam’s Captain America! I love it and I can’t wait for Falcon & Winter Soldier. Although now it should really be called Captain America & Winter Soldier.

- The five year timeskip aging up Cassie means Young Avengers might happen! Vision’s dead though, so I do wonder how they’re gonna pull off Tommy and Billy.

- SHORT HAIR CAROL. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I’m a gay man, but hot damn she looked good.

- Music throughout was great. Alan Silvestri will go down as one of the greats.

- It was great to see Valkyrie again, and putting her in charge of Asgard is great.

- The mechanics may have made no sense, but the time travel was great fun. My theater erupted when the big NEW YORK - 2012 title card popped up on screen.

- The portrayals of grief were great while they lasted. Natasha burying herself in work, Clint’s murder spree, Steve trying to move on through group therapy, Thor drinking himself to death - though this was almost completely ruined by how much it was played for laughs, the beginning of this film was about grief and I love that.

- Natasha’s death scene. Best death in the MCU, by far. Just her and Clint on Vormir, trying to die for each other’s sakes. Her ending was heartbreaking, although killing off the only woman OG Avenger? Hmmm.

- Tony’s death. Despite the aforementioned issues with Holland’s performance, everyone else was great. RDJ, Don Cheadle, and Gwyneth Paltrow all broke my heart.

All in all, I really liked this movie. Not quite as good as other MCU movies, but definitely worth watching. I’ll see if my impressions change on a second watch. For now, my rankings go Avengers 1>Infinity War>Endgame>AoU.

Title: Don’t Belong to No City, Don’t Belong to No Man

Rating: E

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Bucky Barnes

Word count: 6.5k

Summary: Thankfully, Bucky seemed to find Steve’s innocence endearing. “I mean don’t get me wrong, I’d fuck you for free if I could but... free doesn’t pay the bills.”

Steve’s cheeks were bright red, his palms getting sweaty, and all that he managed to get out was, “Yeah, yeah, no, that makes - yeah. Makes sense.”

“So whaddya say?” Bucky asked gently, inching closer by just a fraction. “I’ll make it worth your while, promise.”

AKA the Pre-IW Shrunkyclunks truck stop hooker!Bucky/nomad Steve AU nobody asked for :)

July 22nd-28th

Another long one, so it’s under a read more!

You can find my other Weekly Recaps here!

Complete

crowding the hitter by rooonil_waazlib/ @rooonil-waazlib (Shrunkyclunks | 13K | Explicit): But the trash monsters are coming closer, and Bucky’s going to be pissed if he has to get his grate replaced tomorrow. He turns off the panini press, heads into his bedroom, and pulls his college baseball bat out of the closet, pausing only to pull on the slacks he’d just taken off. He’s going to go defend his shop, and he’s not going to do it in his underpants.

Of all the universes in the multiverse, you had to walk into mine by cleo4u2/ @cleo4u2 (Multiverse AU | 5K | Mature): Steve Rogers is trying to take over the world and SHIELD Agent James "Bucky" Barnes is trying to stop him. Only, Rogers is a super-soldier and Bucky is not. Things are looking grim until he's saved by... Steve Rogers?

Happier by dixons_mama (PWP | 1,7K | Explicit): Six days apart is a long time, in Steve's opinion, to be away from Bucky. Once reunited, they prove distance makes the dick grow fonder.

Sugar Lips and Sinful Hips by TheFlailing (Sugar Daddy AU | 20K | Mature): Bucky Barnes is a successful New York businessman, and at a glance, it looks like he's got everything a man could want. But deep down, underneath the money and the pretty face, the truth is this: he's lonely. Enter one Steven Grant Rogers: starving college student, just trying to make ends meet - and hot as fuck. Bucky desperately needs to be in his pants. And that's all; nothing more. Right?

Don't you understand, I don't want to hold your hand by verzacefatale (Post-IW, in Wakanda | 8K | Explicit): His dick worked when he wanted it to, and sometimes when he didn’t before he knew what he was doing, before he learned how to stifle his feelings for the well-dressed and cut-clean guys at the dancehalls he dragged Steve to, before he learned how not to want Steve in this desperate, all-consuming kind of way, the kicked-up-stink-fear of losing Steve because of something even Bucky didn’t understand, not really, not yet, if he ever could.

With a Steady Hand, and a Little Time by paperstorm/ @paper-storm (Evanstan | 3K | Teen): Chris is a lot of human; big, noisy, unfettered emotions, sent out fearlessly and joyfully into the world, pulling everyone around him into the strength of his orbit. When he’s drunk, Anthony finds out relatively early into their working relationship, it’s about a thousand times worse.

Cellophane Soldier by paperstorm/ @paper-storm (WW2, Epistolary | 4K | Mature): Five letters Bucky wrote to Steve during the war and didn't send, and the one he did send. Presented in the format of a history textbook printed six decades later.

Won't Let You Go by dixons_mama (Evanstan canon | 1,1K | General): After seeing Chris have an anxiety attack at a con, Sebastian goes to his hotel to try and comfort his friend. Fluff ensues.

lately, i like 'em crazy (maybe you could devastate me) by voxofthevoid/ @voxofthevoid (Vampire AU | 4,8K | Explicit): Bucky’s a vampire, and Steve is Steve. The twenty-first century still finds them fucking their brains out and bleeding feelings all over the bed.

WIP

💙 Like Real People Do by 2bestfriends (Shrunkyclunks, canon divergent post-Avengers | 18K | 3/10 | Explicit): Seven years into an isolated retirement after the Battle of New York, Steve has carved out a place for himself in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. He has a best friend (his dog, Lady), a frenemy (a local black bear named Rufus), and a cabin in the middle of the woods, an hour’s drive from the nearest town. As November comes to a close, he heads into town to pick up supplies and ends up with a stowaway.

Solitary by exclamation/ @jessicameats (Canon divergent | 34/? | 85K | Mature): The Winter Soldier has been a prisoner of SHIELD for about a year and a half, placed in solitary confinement under strict security when it was clear he wasn’t going to respond to the best interrogators and deprogrammers SHIELD had available. When Fury asks a newly awakened Steve Rogers to assist, Steve is hesitant. He doesn’t understand why Fury thinks he would have a better chance of getting through to this guy than all the people who have tried and failed.

💙 This Side of the Blue by notlucy/ @notlucy (Mermaid AU | 21/44 | 76K | Explicit): Tucked against a set of crumbling, stone steps was a tank made of metal and glass, filled to the brim with greenish water, distorted sunlight filtering through and casting strange shadows. Playing tricks on the eye. A trick was the only explanation for what Steve saw floating there. This figment of his childhood. This myth. This legend. Within the tank, the siren bared its teeth.

💙 a rupture, a rapture by newsbypostcard (Post-IW | 16/33 | 104K | Explicit | Warning: MCD, Violence): “In my timeline, on April 27th, 2018—today—Thanos invades Earth to collect the final Infinity Stone, and succeeds. With the snap of his fingers, Thanos erases three and a half billion people from existence on Earth alone. I’ve come back in time to prevent this from happening."(After the Cataclysm, and also before.)

💙 Cakes & Balances by mambo/ @whtaft (POTUS Steve | 6/? | 11K | Teen): It’s kind of hard to date the cute baker from down the street when you’re the President of the United States of America. But Steve Rogers will make it work.

Sugar Daddy Wanted by MorningGlory2/ @captainrogerrsbeard (Sugar Daddy AU | 7/8 | 72K | Explicit): When Steve Rogers, 24, became a male escort, there was no room for emotions. He had a full appointment book and no time for that. There was definitely no time to get attached to an older, very successful, very gorgeous man who paid for his services. James Barnes, 38, successful resort designer and CEO for Winter Luxury Resorts, stumbled upon Steve Rogers, Escort in a dark, high end bar in midtown Manhattan. He was cocky, young and beautiful and offered James exactly what he was looking for—the chance to be with a man who knew the ropes and offered no opportunity to get attached. Until of course, he gets attached. And suddenly, what was a contractual affair turns into much more.

Bucky Barnes and the Embarrassment of Spidermen by AggressiveWhenStartled (Multiverse, Peter-centric(ish) | 3/5 | 11K | Mature): “Peter,” Steve said into the table. “Please tell me you didn’t bring home someone from Tony’s alternate dimension.” “Of course I didn’t,” Peter said, looking indignant. “I wouldn’t do that. I brought him to your place.”

Re-read

💙 Honey Honey by justanotherStonyfan/ @justanotherstonyfan (Shrunkyclunks, Future AU, Sugar Daddy | 15K | Explicit): The kid is maybe, oh, twenty years younger than him? Clean-shaven, and looking out of the corner of his eye at Steve in the same way Steve feels he must be looking at the kid – i.e., like he wants to do any number of unmentionable things to him.Because boy does Steve ever want to do unspeakable things to this kid. (Part 1 of Honey Honey)

Suppress that shit by appalachian_fireflies/ @appalachianfireflies (ABO AU | 15K | Explicit | Warning: Rape/non-con): Steve's been on street suppressants for years to cope with something he doesn't want to talk about, thanks. He gets why the hospital is making noises about liver failure, but he couldn't care less. They don't get it. This alpha they're sending him to isn't going to either.

Masquerade by paperstorm/ @paper-storm (Evanstan | 5K | Explicit): It hasn’t been that long since he got himself laid, but it’s been long enough, that good percentage of his body wants him to take the few steps into the alley and kiss the stranger stupid. He’s exactly Sebastian’s type – masculine but pretty, cocky but with a softer edge to him, like he’d be sweet in the mornings. If he’d met this man in the bar earlier, he would definitely have taken him home.

💙 Hey, Asshole! A New York City Love story by bunnymaccool/ @bunnymaccool (Shrunkyclunks, Pre-Avengers | 15K | Teen): Bucky's running late for the bus and he's stuck in line behind some ridiculous shoulder to waist ratio bastard who's too busy flirting with the baristas to get his frickin' order in. After he tells the dude off, completely in his rights he feels, the damn oversized puppy-faced ass keeps following him around and trying to apologize. And okay, dude is hot like burnin', but Bucky just doesn't have the time or patience for soothing the wounded ego of some gymrat wannabe with an obsession for dressing like he's hiding from the mob and .... why are you laughing, Sam?

💙 Quench by AidaRonan (Modern AU, PWP | 5K | Explicit): Or the one where archeology intern Bucky Barnes meets actual archeologist Steve Rogers and reaches levels of thirst scientists once believed to be theoretically impossible.

surprise!

Summary: (requested by @dutchiewhotriestowrite) Could you do a mj x bi!reader who’s an avenger but isn’t out yet and they caught MJ and reader mid make-out session?

Wc: 1554

a/n: this is pre-iw and post-homecoming to achieve ultimate fluff levels

Of course, your Calculus teacher decided to surprise your class with the information that there would be a test tomorrow on the on sushi night. Every Wednesday night, you and the Avengers went out to get sushi for dinner and tonight, you had to skip that weekly dinner to study. When Tony told you to get up from the couch, you gloomily replied, “I can’t go out tonight. I have homework.”

“C’ mon. You can do homework later,” Tony reasoned, leaning against the back of the sofa and you looked up at him as you lay horizontally on the couch. You smirked at the fact that for once in your life, you had to look up at Tony to meet his eyes.

“No, I have to study a ton. Bring some tempura back for me,” You decided, focusing on the pages of your calculus textbook. The rest of the Avengers walked into the living room, getting ready to leave, and Tony rolled his eyes exasperatedly at your protests, “Suit yourself.”

It was hard to focus on the formulas as you really wanted sushi. The loneliness in the building made it even harder to concentrate and you decided that you should probably get MJ over or else you weren’t going to be able to get any studying done. “Friday? Can you turn off surveillance cameras until Tony and the others get back?”

“Sure, Y/n,” Friday, Tony’s artificial intelligence assistant he programmed into the house, answered and you sighed in relief as you picked up your phone, dialing MJ’s number. Honestly, you weren’t sure if Michelle was free since she seemed to be pretty busy lately with poetry club. After three rings, MJ finally picked up the phone.

“Hey Y/n, what’s up?” MJ casually asked and you imagined that she was speaking to you in her bean bag chair with a book in her hand. You smiled, the visual of MJ and her voice comforting you a bit.

“Can you come over? I’ve been feeling a little lonely and I need a study buddy. The Avengers aren’t at home right now,” You explained, twirling your mechanical pencil between your fingers as you spoke. You frowned as you accidentally dropped the pencil, a dark pencil line appearing on a textbook page and you grabbed an eraser, erasing the line. You were always comically clumsy, a trait that MJ found adorably endearing and also a trait that often got you into awkward situations.

“Sure, I’ll be right there,” MJ answered enthusiastically and you thanked her, feeling your smile widen even more at the thought of MJ cuddling with you soon. When she hung up, you told yourself you were going to at least focus on studying until she arrived so you could spend some extra time with her after studying together and surprisingly, you were more productive than you had been all afternoon. In fact, you were so engrossed in studying that MJ had to ring the doorbell twice before you realized she was here. You quickly ran down and opened the door for her, gasping when you saw a takeout box in her hands.

“I know tonight is usually sushi night and figured you wanted some-” You cut MJ off by kissing her on the lips, wrapping your arms around her. MJ smiled into the kiss, placing her hands gently on the sides of your face.

“Let’s get inside. I think if we stay out here any longer, I’m not going to resist the temptation to eat that sushi,” You giggled, holding MJ’s hand as you both headed into the building. You brought MJ to the living room and sat next to her on the couch where you had been studying. You picked up your calculus textbook, placing it on your lap, and a sympathetic look crossed MJ’s face.

“Oh man, I’m sorry you got Mr. Rudo for calc this year. Everybody was stressing about that impromptu test he sprung up on you guys in chemistry. Ms.Toper is way nicer and never surprises us with tests,” MJ wrapped an arm around you, allowing you to nestle closer to her. She handed you the take-out box and opened it, feeding you a piece of sushi as she watched you look over the textbook pages.

“Yeah, he really surprised us. I still don’t get what hyperbolas are. Do you mind helping me out?” You bashfully asked and MJ smiled softly, kissing you on the forehead as she replied. “No, not at all.”

MJ explained what hyperbolas and ellipses were clearer than Mr. Rudo did and you were confident that you were going to pass your calculus test with flying colors, even if you were briefly distracted by your girlfriend as she was teaching you. The way her lips parted you drove you insane and the curls that fell across her eye made you want to play with her hair. Her eyes sparkled with a crystallized zeal and you wanted to kiss her so bad.

Finally, now that you had finished studying, you turned on the TV and let MJ choose a movie as you popped some popcorn and grabbed blankets. MJ chose the movie called “The Battle of Sexes” and you both shared a giant bowl of popcorn, cuddling under the blankets. You two lasted about ten minutes into the movie before you started making out, unable to resist the temptations that were slowly driving you insane.

You two made out for a couple minutes, practically breathing each other in. MJ smelled like strawberries and the warm summer breeze and her kisses were as gentle as a fairy’s touch and as rough as waves lapping against the sand. You were distracted by all these emotions (mostly lust and love) but while you were kissing MJ, a thought crossed your mind. MJ immediately knew something was off and stopped kissing you, quickly asking, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s just… how am I ever going to come out to the Avengers? I haven’t told them I’m bisexual and dating you yet and I really want to spend more time with you, but I can’t if I’m constantly hiding who I am and who I love from my only family,” You rambled, feeling insecure and upset. You and MJ were having the perfect make-out session until your thoughts ruined everything, per usual. MJ lightly caressed your face with her gentle fingers, admiration filling her gorgeous eyes.

“You might not feel ready now and you might never feel ready but if you tell them, I’m sure they won’t react harshly. They might be surprised but I know they’ll accept you. They care about you dearly,” MJ kissed the top of your head, pulling you into a hug. The TV softly mumbled in the background with the dialogue in the movie as you nodded, hugging MJ back.

“Sorry I ruined the moment,” You laughed lightly, hoping to lighten the mood. MJ shook her head, grinning at your dorkiness before kissing you on the lips again. You two made out for what felt like forever and you were so distracted by MJ’s kisses, you didn’t hear the Avengers coming home.

“Y/n? I brought the tempura back-” Steve stopped mid-sentence as he walked in on you and MJ locking lips. The rest of the Avengers filed into the room behind him and you almost fell off the couch in shock. Steve looked equally as surprised and everybody looked surprised except for Tony. You and MJ quickly separated, sitting up straight with wide eyes.

“Oh, should I… go?” MJ awkwardly asked, getting ready to stand up but you quickly held her hand, shaking your head. You met her eyes and she saw the determination and desperation in your eyes and sat back down on the couch. Squaring your shoulders and breathing in a deep breath, you faced the Avengers and announced, “Guys, this is my girlfriend, Michelle Jones. I probably should have told you this a while ago but I was too scared.”

“Y/n, you know we’re going to accept you for who you are, regardless of what you’ve done or who you are. Next time, just give us a heads-up; we’ll understand,” Natasha offered a small comforting smile as she spoke and the other Avengers nodded in agreement. You sighed in relief and grinned, “Thanks.”

Steve awkwardly put the take-out box with tempura down on the kitchen counter and told you that it was there if you were hungry. You turned off the TV and cleaned up the popcorn and blankets as MJ got ready to leave. She insisted that it was late and that she had to go home before her parents got antsy. MJ also wanted you to sleep early so you could do well on your calculus exam the next day and you gave her one last kiss before she left.

As you sat back down on the couch, wedging your pencil between the textbook pages you had studying, Tony walked over with a coffee mug in his hand. You narrowed your eyes at him and asked, “Why weren’t you surprised when I came out?”

“You forget to clear surveillance footage often,” Tony chuckled, walking away while sipping his coffee. You felt heat rising up your cheeks, embarrassed that your clumsiness had once again resulted in you getting caught in another awkward situation.
