Falling for An Eternal
Stephen Strange • She/Her Pronouns • Eternal!Reader • ANGST/SFW • TW: Injuries
Requested by: @accioptterv
“Be safe?”
“When am I ever not?”
“May I remind you what you fight for a living?”
“No thank you, Tony. Anyway…I promise I’ll be done by time of that stupid party you’re planning. I hope you know none of my family will drop by”
“Awww come on! When will I ever meet any of the other Et—-“
“Sorry Stark but I gotta go” the woman talking to the man of technology himself, hung up and started running toward the deviant across the frozen lake.
The children that were playing close by tried to retreat but given their environment, of course they slipped. As the deviant inched closer rising on its hind legs about the break the ice through them…the woman in hues of the earth ran up the deviant’s back forming a spear to wrap around its neck to force it back causing it to fall on top of her but that didn’t matter anymore. Unexpectedly causing the children to gasp when she pierced through its chest and pull herself right through.
She gave them all a worried look, ignoring the fact that she’s covered in the blood of the beast. The children focused on the way her eyes glowed, only for theirs to mimic and seconds later they ran back to the town to their families.
But the woman didn’t notice a small child that strayed from the group and witnessed everything.
“Are you a wizard?”
You’re lucky you’re a child “Better than a wizard” The woman smiles kneeling before the child. “How long have you been standing there? You didn’t seem to be friendly around the other children”
“They’re not friendly with me…Mom just makes me play with them to be “normal””
“Normal is overrated” She laughs. “But you should go back. Let her know you’re safe”
The child nods holding her stuffed tiger close glancing over to the dead deviant and back to the woman that protected her.
“What’s gonna happen to that?”
“I’ll take care of it sweetheart, but…” She frowns as she hated it sometimes, the child’s eyes glowed. “You should go find your mother. She must be worried sick” and with that said the child went running back toward the town to find her mother like the other children.
Finally leaving the mess and the woman alone to clean it up.
Frankly. She didn’t want to attend a stupid party hours later, but she promised her old college friend.
“Y/N!” Stark loudly announces her presence in the Avenger’s tower. Only making her blush out of embarrassment given the amount of people staring at her.
I wish I skipped this party… Y/N continues to feel anxious after the sudden announcement of her arrival as she makes her way toward Stark.
“So, how was the fight?”
“Really? That’s the first thing you bring up?”
“Well. You’re viral” Stark whips his phone out to show Y/N the video of her fighting off the deviant at a frozen lake in Canada. “What a way to celebrate the holidays”
“Can it, Stark” Y/N frowns taking his phone to see the video, knowing it won’t reach her parents but she still worries.
Her frown never goes unnoticed as Stark carefully lifts her chin to get her attention away from the phone. Then immediately boops her nose receiving her usual annoyed glare in response.
“Let’s get you a drink and to meet some of my friends in the hero business”
“I’ll hurt you if Kingo is here”
“You’re safe from any of your relatives” He laughs wrapping an arm around her shoulders directing her to the open bar.
“We were invited?”
“Yes, and I know for a fact Stark knows about this hero that has gone viral. I need to know more about their ability”
“…to an avengers holiday party?”
“Wong why is that so surprising?“
“Well I’m in my robes and you’re in a four piece suit. I feel weird” Wong gestures to their attire differences as Strange rolls his eyes separating from him to avoid any more conversation about their clothing and searching for the host.
Strange never found a window to talk to Stark as he was always talking it up to somebody. Even when he talked to Wong he couldn’t find his moment.
So he hugged the bar watching the party continue on waiting for a second of his time.
“Need a refill?”
“Yes, but I should really wait for Mr. Stark to stop engaging in conversation so that I can ask him something” Strange replies to the unknown voice thinking it’s the bar tender as he pushes his empty martini glass toward the sound. “Is he always this popular?”
“Uh. I assume so. Given he’s Iron Man” The voice replies as they start to make the drink even if they’re just mixing things together and pouring it in the martini glass.
As Strange picks up the glass that pushed into his hand to take a sip, he stops himself smelling anything but lemon and sets the glass down.
“Uh this isn’t—“ Strange stops when he locked eyes with Y/N on the other side of the bar. Taking a few mental notes.
It’s the woman in the video
She doesn’t know how to make a lemon drop martini
…and she’s gorgeous
“Uhm. You don’t make drinks”
“You didn’t tell me what your drink was…granted the bar tender before I appeared, walked away so he must’ve known”
“You are actually the one I want to see…more than Stark”
Y/N couldn’t help the blush that rose on her cheeks when she heard that from the rather handsome man before her. But it quickly faded when she thought a bit about it.
“The video?”
“Yes, but given that this is a holiday party. I wouldn’t want to make you uncomfortable talking about it”
“But you wanted to talk to Stark about it?”
“…yes. Or more so get a meeting with the man because he’s sooo busy” Strange rolls his eyes once again receiving a laugh from Y/N causing him to smile and somewhat forget the reason why he’s there. “But I guess I could ask you straight up”
“Oh well I’m pretty busy until after the holidays. But I could find a opening for you…?” Trying to play with the joke only to realize…
“My name is Doctor Stephen Strange”
“Y/N”
“Like Beyoncé?”
“Yes! Kinda like Beyoncé” Y/N smiles giggling a bit as Strange really felt something. “I was kidding about being busy, I live here but I have to travel a lot…to yknow”
“Protect the world from these…deviants?”
“You know what they are?”
“I’ve heard about the Eternals and their powers. Their stories within history across the world. Including the ancient text found in the books back at where I learned to be one with myself in a way” Strange begins. “But you have the powers of a few Eternals when original there are only supposed to be ten”
“I’m the daughter of two of them. Thena and Gilgamesh…But I have the powers of two other Eternals including my mother’s…are you in any way here to harm me because I can’t let that happen nor would Stark who’s gaze hasn’t left our position” Y/N whispers the last part to Strange as he turns around where Stark stood with Rogers and Banner watching his attention quickly turn away.
The doctor carefully rests his hand on top of hers to reassure her in a physical manner that he was in no way going to harm her. He was more so fascinated with her powers and wanted to know more about them. And not there.
But the two never left each other’s attention for the rest of the party as Y/N wanted to know more about what Strange knew about the Eternals and he wanted to know more about her.
“Remind me how you managed to sign me up for this?”
“We do these checks every now and then because we don’t entirely know what they are. But after talking with you a few times. We know exactly”
“Okay…so Deviants..but this also doesn’t explain why he’s here” Y/N gestures to Stark who joined them at the last second. Strange didn’t understand why either but when Stark heard Y/N is doing an investigation with the wizard, he just wanted to make sure they all come out okay. More so Y/N than Strange.
“Love being wanted. Anyway, if I could get a sample of this creature we could find a way to track it with science….” Stark states and walks away when he whispers. “And a few million dollars worth of technology”
Y/N rolls her eyes smiling at her friend before catching up with him leaving Strange to be a third wheel even if it’s his mission. Another reason why he didn’t want Stark around. He wanted to get to know her more.
“So what are we thinking? Kill it. Get its blood and specialize a tracker for it or what”
“Or you could go home”
Of course this was going to happen. The two arguing over what to do and Strange’s feelings getting in the way of Stark’s. But then it just became more of how they could find a way to track these beasts when the reality of it, Y/N was given a tracker made by her uncle Phastos.
Then the two were interrupted by the deviant roaring through. Causing Y/N to instantly run through the two tapping these emerald bracelets together and her attire shifted to her eternal defender attire. Stark instantly rose to the occasion, literally, and joined Y/N along with Strange but before the two landed anything on the deviant Y/N had it covered.
Mostly.
“Remind me not to meet your bad side” Stark jokes in Y/N’s direction, covered in the deviant’s blood as he goes to take a few samples while Strange snaps his fingers causing the deviant remains on him to disappear.
As the sorcerer was about to check what Stark was planning on taking, he heard a bit of wheezing from Y/N as she didn’t respond to Stark earlier. Which to the man in metal was a bit odd but the fight did take a lot out of her, more than usual.
Strange slowly approaches her watching her avoid eye contact at all cost. “Y/N, is something wrong?”
“No! No…nothing is wrong. All good” Y/N retreats back a bit soon meeting the ground as she scrambles to sit up while both of them approached her urgently. “Sorry. I got uh. Carried away”
Y/N is used to fighting alone or with her family. She never really fought with others that have different abilities that weren’t strictly what she’s used to. So when she tried to bury the deviant in the ground, Stark wasn’t informed of what she was doing and fired at the deviant forcing it out of her quicksand causing it to strike her in its flailing state. But Y/N didn’t realize she was hurt severely then and continued to stop said deviant. Resulting in Strange conjuring his whips that were riddled with a spell to burn within contact and Y/N caught the short end of the stick. Getting caught in it with the deviant making Strange stop and Stark to launch a grenade in the deviant’s mouth which resulted in them all being covered in its blood as it exploded.
Now the adrenaline worn off.
“You should’ve watched where you cast your damn fucking spells”
“This isn’t just my fault. You administered an explosive device when she wasn’t clear from the field”
“We don’t know what this beast could’ve done—“
“But she does! It was only supposed to be the two of us. I was only supposed to step in when needed. Then you invited yourself and now we are in this situation”
The situation being Christine, once again pulled into Strange’s bullshit, tending to Y/N wounds in a private room.
“You’re lucky it’s not as bad as it looks. Well it is bad. There’s a lot of blood loss but she’ll be fine” Christine reassures finishing up the last stitch before cleaning it up and tending to the burns on her left arm. “Her armor just…disappeared like nothing.” She states finishing up the loose bandage on her burns when Y/N started to wake up. “Hey—-“
“Please stop touching me”
Strange… Strange watches Christine immediately pull away as her eyes slowly stopped glowing a subtle gold returning to her natural eye color.
As Y/N slowly pushes herself to sit up on the metal slab they call an operating table, she turns to the two were just bickering about the poor girl and started glaring. She gestures for Stark to inch closer to her when she suddenly smacked him.
“Y/N! What the fuck!”
“I’m going to protect my best friend because so don’t trust this wizard guy” Y/N continues to glare as Strange immediately sighs out of annoyance towards Stark while he looks guilty thinking that conversation with Pepper over the one, wasn’t overheard.
Then the idea clicked to Y/N as she removed her bracelets giving one of each to both Strange and Stark before slowly bringing herself out of the bed ignoring the jelly feeling in her legs. The sudden drop being the result of such. Christine quickly helped her knowing she wouldn’t be in any mood to be helped by either of them.
“My uncle is going to kill me. But if you want trackers. There you go. Now fuck off and leave me alone…” Y/N frowns limping her way out of there with the hospital gown on.
Christine wasn’t going to let her leave the hospital in a gown or that’d be suspicious but she did give the two hard heads a confused look as she grabs the clothes she brought for Y/N, going to chase after her.
She shouldn’t have left the two alone. Strange quickly made a portal to the streets and pulling Stark out of there by the chest plate. “You don’t trust me?”
“Yeah. I don’t. It takes a while to gain my trust and I don’t know much about you besides what you used to be so don’t fucking be mad at me when I just wanted to look out for my friend”
“She’s years older than the both of us. She’s seen a thing or two so she wouldn’t let me do anything not to her liking. Besides, I wouldn’t do it either. I wanted to see what she does. Help if needed and you had to include yourself. You act like her father when she has one. You don’t have to protect her”
“Then what were you going to do if things went south Hm?”
Protect her
Without a second thought Stark landed abruptly on the very small balcony. Scaring the poor tabby cat by the sliding door causing the resident to approach the door. Only for him to be met with the same glare of hers from the hospital.
“You’re going to kill my cat, like last time”
“Your cat had an anxiety disorder last time. Regardless. Can I come in?”
“The suit stays outside”
Did I go too far? Strange continued to question his actions a few weeks after her accident as he does his usual maintenance around the sanctum. That when the door swung open, and Y/N found herself waiting at the end of the stairs not wanting to explore to find the sorcerer but it didn’t take him long to round over to the front finding her waiting.
“Hey, Strange…”
He didn’t hesitate for a second to meet Y/N at the end of the stairs quickly looking her over for anything as she stops his wandering eyes to lay on his chest where her hand rested for a moment.
“I’m fine if that’s what you’re wondering”
“I’m still…very sorry for what happened”
“It’s okay, I never worked well with others in combat so really it’s my fault for not exposing myself sooner”
“Still. What happened, shouldn’t have happened” Strange exhales the stress he’s been internalizing. She hates me. I wronged her. All the sweet jazz playing in his head of stress but her standing before him was enough to tune it out. “I should also return this” he unhooks the bracelet as it didn’t seem right to wear it given the conversation that lead to him receiving such.
But Y/N carefully folded his hand over it, revealing she was wearing the other one she had given to Stark. Simply leaving Strange confused on why he’s keeping the other.
“I didn’t…tarnish anything with Stark did I?”
“No! Ha! Strange you don’t have to worry about that hard head. He over stepped but he was just worried…” As much as Y/N wanted to kick Stark out of her apartment for the space she needed, he simply didn’t want Strange to take advantage of her for her abilities that simply don’t match anybody else. Strange would ever. But Stark just needed her to know why he was worried over his best friend, and if she needed him to I don’t know…hide a body if he overstepped, he’d be there in an instant. “But Uhm. I can work with just the one…you can also find me with the bracelet. My uncle is uh. Really a man of technology so…”
“I’m honored that you trust me with this.” He smiles warmly toward Y/N enjoying her company even if it was focused on what happened. But come on, Strange.
Don’t be afraid.
“So…this Strange” Gilgamesh confirms with his daughter about the man she’s been spending time with. “Is a wizard?”
“Oh you call him a wizard too?” Y/N laughs, picking up the the water basin. “It’s sorcerer…and his way with the mystic arts is completely different from ours” she continues as the two headed back to the house.
“Hm. And he got you here through a portal? What things is my daughter exposing herself to and should I be worried?”
“Nothing harmful and at least not more than usual…you know damn well I can defend myself if things were to go south” Y/N reassures while Gilgamesh groans from annoyance.
“I know. But you’re still my daughter. The second anything happens—-“
“His head will be on the other end of my spear if he ever laid a hand on you”
Never takes long for Thena’s version of mama bear to come out. But she also wanted to know more about how her daughter felt instead of jumping to conclusions unlike—
“When is your girlfriend returning?”
“She’s not my—-Wong, aren’t you supposed to be teaching?”
“You mean the session I so happily took for you because you have plans with said girlfriend that isn’t your girlfriend”
“Wong.”
“You’re allowed to be happy, Strange. You’ve spent time for months now. She even helps with teaching the meditation lessons toward students that had your patience when you first started. If she makes you happy, why wait forever to cherish that in a more romantic setting”
Strange stops walking with Wong causing him to stop and give him a confused look. “Since when did you become a romantic?”
“Well if you must know—“ Sorry Wong, the teacher you have fallen head over heels for back at Kamar Taj will have to wait. Strange’s phone ringing cut their conversation short.
“It’s her I’m sorry—“
“Strange” Wong grabbed his friend’s shoulders to make him look at him for his undivided attention. “If you like her, take the risk”
Both have been invited to another one of Stark’s parties, but more formal than the holiday one. Even if Strange finds any excuse to wear a suit. He asked Y/N if they wanted to go together and it didn’t take her long to say yes even if they had errands beforehand.
Talk to Wong
Talk to Mom & Dad
Clear priorities
Strange waited patiently outside of Y/N’s apartment after helping her back to New York and giving her time to get ready before reaching this moment. He felt his hands shake more than usual and he wouldn’t stop staring at the bouquet he had gotten her.
______
“Explain to me why they’re your favorite flowers?” Strange asks the eternal who’s lived on this earth for years and has seen plenty.
“What’s more to there to explain? I think they have a funny name”
“Dogwood?” Seriously.
“Yeah! I think it’s quite funny but they’re still a beautiful flower” Y/N smiles pressing her hands to the decreased deviant as she’s trained with Sersi before with her power but clearly the now exploded deviant guts all over the eternal clearly tells she hasn’t mastered how to use it properly. “This didn’t go as plan”
“It never does” Strange laughs at her current state as the cloak reaches toward her face taking care of the remains splattered on her face.
“So…what’s your favorite flower, Doctor Strange? Or are you a simple rose guy?”
“Roses are gorgeous, but I’d have to say amaryllis are my favorite”
______
Guess they both had the same idea
As Y/N opens the door revealing her in a gorgeous emerald bodycon dress holding a singular amaryllis in hand in a rose shade. She did text Kingo to see if he knew anybody that could find her the flower but instead he got someone to get it for her. That’s a story for another day. Meanwhile Strange conjured a portal to North Carolina where Dogwood is it’s state flower and got a small bouquet of them. His eyes haven’t left her person, admiring the dress she was in as she couldn’t stop smiling about how they accidentally matched with his tie also being the same shade.
“You…you’re gorgeous”
“And you’re very handsome, Stephen”
God the smile that hasn’t left his face only grew when Y/N called him by his first name and not the usual Strange or formal Doctor Strange. The two stood there for a while before either presented the other with their favorite flower and that simple sentiment made them both…
“I think I’m in love with you” the two said in unison as Y/N felt the heat rise to her cheeks bringing her bouquet close to her chest smiling even more than before.
“I should’ve said something sooner but I was afraid” Strange exhales as the weight lifted off of him after confessing how he felt.
“Well…we’re on the same page” Y/N continues to have that beautiful smile of hers as Strange extended his hand to her feeling her instantly accept. “So…how about we skip out on this party? Just have the night be for us”
Us Stephen smiles carefully tucking his favorite flower behind her ear, gently caressing her cheek.
“I’d love that”

Hiii! Can you please write an Layla el faouly x reader which one night the reader shows up at their Layla's house beaten up badly (the reader is a vigilant) which Layla starts badly freaking out when she sees them. Layla manages to calm down herself a bit as she starts patching up the reader. As Layla patches them up, she angrily tells them how worried she was and that she thought she was dead and what the hell is she supposed to do without them. The reader sees that Layla was starting to tear up, so they quickly brought her into a passionate kiss. Things get a bit smutty but it quickly ends as the reader let's a groan from pain. And so Layla decides it's not the time so she gets in bed with the reader and the reader tells them that they'll promise to be more careful from now on.
(Im really sorry that my request is so long and the reader can be any gender you like 😊😅
I LOVE THIS REQUEST! It is nice to write for someone different than Kingo and Druig because I feel like I repeat myself all the time (I love writing for them obviously but this change-up is very nice) Thank you for your request. ALSO THERE IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH LAYLA FICS!!!
Warnings: 18+ Minors DNI No full on smut things just get a little heated. Mentions of blood and injuries, talk about death, strong language but also fluff
I can't lose you! (Layla El Faouly x Reader)
You groaned as you made your way across the street, holding your side. You were sure you left a trail of little blood patches on your way. It was probably a bad idea to take on 7 guys on your own. But it is what it is now. After all this is your job. A little blood is part of it. Only this time it wasn't just a little.
Finally, you could see your girlfriend's apartment complex. You probably shouldn't bother her with this. But she knew how to patch you up and your apartment was too far at the moment.
Finally inside and in front of her door, you knocked and waited. Leaning on the wall across the door. Taking your hand off of the side of your body you saw how bloody your hand was. Wincing in pain you looked up as you heard the door unlocking and opening.
You gave Layla a weak smile as you heard her take a sharp intake of breath. You probably looked worse than you thought. You limped over to her to give her a small kiss as a greeting but she pulled her head back. Yep you were in deep shit now. This is worse than what the guys you just killed did to you.
She stepped aside to let you in which you did. Without a word, she closed the door and got the first aid kid. You slumped onto a chair groaning a little. Finally taking a look at your stab wound you also let out a gasp. It was deeper than you thought.
Layla came back and sat down across from you. You gave her a weak smile, which she didn't return. She got everything out and you carefully took off your shirt so she could take care of this wound first. Her frown deepened as she saw the many bruises littering your body. She begins cleaning the wound, as carefully as she could, but it still hurts like a bitch.
When she was done she moved to the wounds on your face. Your lip was split open and you had a cut above your left eyebrow and you were pretty sure there was a giant bruise forming on the right side of your face up to your eye as well. As she was cleaning up the cut you tried to lighten the mood a little "You should see the other guys." A weak smile accompanied your sentence. She gave you a stern look.
"You think this is funny?" Her voice as sharp as ever. When you didn't answer her she continued.
"You think it is fun to patch you up in the middle of the night because you have been stupidly reckless again? Because you need to prove that you are a hero or some shit? Have you ever thought about how I feel about this? How worried I am every time you come here with new wounds all over your body? What if one day you just overestimate yourself and get yourself killed huh? Bleeding out in some dark alley! Have you ever thought about that?!" She gave you an angry look and you had to look away while you shook your head no.
She scoffed. "Of course, you haven't. Fuck you drive me so mad!"
She continued cleaning your wounds and you could feel her calming down a little. But you could also see the tears that she desperately tried to blink away, forming in her eyes. You carefully brought a hand up to her face, cupping her cheek. She looked at you with sad brown eyes and you felt even worse. In a weak attempt, you kissed her, hoping that she could feel how sorry you are. You ignored the stinging of your lips. She could probably still taste the blood on them. You pressed her close to you and she finally gave in returning your kiss. You gave a soft sigh of relief and started to softly nipple at her lips. You were determined to make it up to Layla. And by how she was reacting you knew she was ok with that. As you two slowly stood up, you made your way over to the bedroom. Never breaking the kiss for more than a few seconds. At some point, Layla also discarded her Shirt and your hands were roaming her body. Her skin is ever so soft making you long for her even more.
Finally reaching the bedroom she softly pushed you onto it, which wasn't a good idea and it made you groan in pain. Clearly, you two have forgotten that you probably had some bruised ribs as well. The look in her eyes changed immediately and you gave her a sheepish smile.
"I think my apology has to wait for a little."
She just nodded. You scooted a little higher on the bed, taking off your pants, with Layla's help thankfully. She put on her sleeping shirt again and crawled into bed beside you. Carefully she pulled you into her side. You took in her smell that never seems to cease to calm you down.
"You really need to be more careful..."
"I know... And I promise you I will. I don't want you to worry about me."
"I always worry about you silly. I mean you are a force to be reckoned with, I know that, but seeing you all beaten up I -... It just doesn't sit right with me. I don't wanna lose you like I lost my father you know?"
"I understand. I am really sorry I made you worried like that. You know that is never my intention. I just... I wanna help people. And these idiots deserved the beating that they've got from me."
"Just promise me to be more careful next time ok?"
"I promise." And you really meant it. You looked up at her and you saw that she was already looking at you. You leaned up and gave her a soft kiss. "I love you."
She gave you one of her perfect smiles, that melted your heart every time. "I love you too. Now you need some sleep. Doctors order."
You giggled at that. "You know you are not that kind of doctor right?"
"Did I patch you up or not?"
"Alright alright, Dr. Layla. But I think I need another kiss don't you think? To make me feel better?"
She rolled her eyes at that grinning softly. She placed another soft kiss on your lips. The fact that your lip stung every time her lips met yours was definitely worth it.
"Now off to sleep with you." She nudged your nose gently with hers.
"Yes Ma'am" you hummed and gave her another soft peck.
"Careful little mouse, don't start what you can't finish." You grinned a little.
"Who says I can't finish?" But she gently and carefully brushed over the bruise on your ribs making you wince, and she just raised an eyebrow in triumph and a little worry in her eyes. You sigh in defeat still smiling softly.
"I will make it up to you. But not today." A yawn left your mouth and you snuggled close to her, your head in the crook of her neck, her head now atop yours. Finally, the exhaustion took over and you fell into a deep sleep, knowing you were safe with Layla next to you.

I like this game so I come to you with a list of marvel heroes. So you can choose to serve, fuck or marry Captain America (Chris Evans, blue heart), Namor (Tenoch Huerta, red heart) or Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani, white heart)
They are not the Marvel characters i prefer, but I'd say :
Have sex Steve Rogers / Captain America 💙 : i can't chose him as my lover because i love him with too many characters, like his best friends Sam Wilson or Bucky Barnes, and, even though I'm gay, i love his couple with Peggy Carter who is my MCU favorite hero. He is gorgeous so that would be amazing to be fucked by him, to be force to lick America's ass and smell his stinky feet!
As you know Captain America appears in several of my stories. Here you'll find three :
Serve with King Namor ❤️ because he is the hottest of the three. I wanted to say have sex, first. But then i thought he would like to have me as his slave, maybe a jester he farts on, his human seat, sitting on my face with his big butt, or making me worship his feet.
I begun to write about Namor enslaving a city, where he is shown as a gassy giant man.
Meanwhile you can read my story about his actor Tenoch Huerta
Marry Kingo 🤍 because that's an unexpected choice since he is the least attractive character here. However, he have the best personality : Steve is most of the time too dominant, too serious and dark, Namor is too arrogant and evil.
Kingo is a weak coward, but at least he is kind, cute and would be protective. What's interesting with this choice is that it was so unexpected to me that i had to think of my answer. At first i was focused on the actor because i haven't saw Kumail Nanjiani in many roles besides this one : he appears in the Disney+ series KENOBI, and i know he played in others movies or TV series but i just never saw them. Then, i realized that, Kumail Nanjiani is not as ugly as i thought he is because he became muscled 🥵
That made me wants to worship him as his slave (my raceplay kink is talking here, being a small whiteboy groveling at a Pakistani man's feet) or his lover, being his fragile boyfriend with a dom ugly dumb goofy man.
You can't imagine how much I laughed when i discovered the scene of Bollywood dance in ETERNALS movie. I immediately wanted to be Kingo's personal slave. That makes me wants to write about him with his servants, because what's amazing is that he takes advantage of his almost immortality to play in Bollywood movies as an amazing prince.
You know i have already wrote about India :

HI ITS ME AGAIN. So I have this idea where the Eternals would take a bath after every fight with a Deviant and there's these women who are dying to help Gilgamesh to clean himself (he's the famous one, because it's in Babylon + i want to see how envy Kingo is😂) and Gilgamesh declined their help so some women went off and there's this idk maybe a princess?? a queen?? (my idea here is she's more than just a maiden whatsoever) that really likes Gilgamesh and insisting on helping him to clean. Other Eternals will leave too and Gilgamesh asked Druig for help he was like 'cmon man, control her mind' and then Druig will be just chucklin' with others leaving him alone with that woman. And then...Thena barged in on the place and Gilgamesh was like 'let me explain first', she didn't mind Gilgamesh at first and had a very little intimidating argument with the woman and shooing her away while slowly taking her robe and walking onto Gilgamesh (who is freaking out I imagined him turning around giving some respect for Thena but ya know what will happen neeeEEEeext😂😂😂😂).
Woah this might be spicy but yeah this is the idea and I trust you with all my life. Thank you so much!!!
"Girls, please."
Gilgamesh sighed, holding his hands in the air above him as the shrine maidens flocked to him upon their re-entry to the main temple. He looked at Druig. "Come on, man!"
Druig just snorted, walking right past Gil in favour of his own hot bath, dusting himself off on the way. "Yer on y'own, mate."
"Druig!" But it was no good, the mind reader was already on the way to one of the many baths, surely hot and filled with herbs and flowers after another hard battle.
The Thinkers were better off than the Fighters, of course. Gil was still covered in his fair share of blood and wiry muscle fibre. Ikaris had some entrails caked onto him from his habit of flying through them at terminal velocity.
Thena wasn't necessarily spotless, but she was as beautiful as always.
"Really, I'm fine," Gil insisted, using the entrance of his partner to slip away from the masses.
Thena let only a hint of a smile show as he fell in step with her. She tossed a chunk of flesh off her arm as they walked. "They are eager to please their hero."
"It's Sprite's stories," Gil chuckled, eager to dismiss the idolatry.
"Not entirely," she smiled at him more clearly now. "It was you that defeated the Bull, and countless others before it. You are the Strongest of us."
Gilgamesh blushed.
"Besides," Thena raised a brow as she headed off to another of the bath halls, "it is funny to see Kingo jealous of your popularity."
Gil just nodded, seeing her off as he headed into his own hall. The human baths of Babylon were still public affairs, but one of the few upsides to being worshipped like gods was the privacy they were afforded for things like this. Of course, they could always go shower on the Domo, but the massive, luxurious baths were nice.
Sersi and Ikaris liked to use them for other reasons, and sometimes Gil got the impression that maybe Makkari and Druig did too.
"Shall I assist, Great One?"
"Shit!" Gil cursed, nearly jumping out of his skin as he entered the bath hall and did not find himself alone. He was glad he had only dispelled the chest plate of his armour as of yet, still technically clothed underneath. "Huh?"
The Head Priestess rose from her seat at the back of the room, beside the heated fountain filling the bath, sloshing around herbs and water lilies. She walked slowly. "Allow me to lend you my..."
Gil's brows rose as she finally arrived in front of him, looking him up and down.
"Healing touch."
Oh. No. He had just managed to escape the other pestering maidens at the temple entrance. He didn't know what about him in particular seemed to scream 'help me bathe' to these humans, but he wished it would stop.
"Hero," the Priestess took another step forward, her hands reaching up as if she would be able to undo the seamless fabric of his micromesh, woven of material her planet might never achieve.
Also, he wasn't hers to undress.
"Thank you," he nodded, not looking at her as he took a long step back. "But I'm fine, really. I just want to bathe in peace."
"Oh, I can bring you peace."
She most certainly could not. Gil sighed. "Please, I just want-"
"But Hero," she purred, moving quicker this time and within reach of touching her hands to his chest.
"He said no."
"Thena!" he turned, beaming at the idea of his saviour. Of course she would come to his rescue. "Thena?"
The Warrior Eternal sauntered in, hips swaying under the white robe the bath house always provided them. It was clean, it was linen, it was...a little bit transparent.
Gil gulped, trapped between the unstoppable force and a very moveable object. He averted his eyes from Thena and her half-closed robe.
"I wished only to assist, Warrior," the Head Priestess offered in her own defense. Although clearly she had enough survival instincts to take a few steps away from Gilgamesh as she said it.
"I will assist him."
Gilgamesh blushed again.
"Warrior, I-" the human woman stopped short. Thena placed her hand on Gil's chest, very physically staking her claim over the territory the Priestess had previously been scoping out for herself. The Warrior Eternal pushed him closer to the bath. "Y-Yes, I see. I'm sorry-"
"Out."
Gil watched the human scurry out like her life depended on it. That might not have been so far from the truth, all things considered. He looked at Thena, still touching him. "Thanks for the save."
Her eyes slid up to his slowly, hand still on his chest. "I was just stepping into my bath when I heard her."
"Heard her scare the shit out of me, you mean?" he risked a smile, relieved when she did smile back just a little. His hands came up to her arms. "I guess she won't be bothering me anymore."
"If she wishes to live."
He chuckled, pressing his forehead to the spot where her tiara would be if she were clothed. "You'd never hurt a human."
Thena inhaled, tilting her head up. "I get closer to considering it every time they proposition you like this."
Gil sighed as their lips met. This was far more relaxing and soothing than any bath. He wrapped an arm around her, feeling the softness of her against him without her armour in the way. He pulled away first, smiling and pressing his lips to her cheek. "Did you come just to stop her? Or were you planning on, uh...healing me yourself?"
Thena blushed this time. She poked him closer to the bath again and grasped the loosest of knots holding her robe closed. "Get in."

Hi! For the "choose violence" meme:
16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)
18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...?
Hi!
For 16, I generally understand why people like a thing, even if it doesn't resonate with me at all. Like alpha/beta/omega: I can see the appeal of the weird sex, maximum drama, worldbuilding, and exploring toxic gender roles/dynamics in the safe world of fiction, even if this particular trope doesn't do much for me.
That being said, I don't get Irondad at all. Peter and Tony's relationship is pretty interesting in canon. I've always thought that Tony's treatment of Peter probably has a lot of echos of his relationships with his own father figures. The CACW recruitment scene has shades of Obie's friendly, manipulative negging, and Homecoming has obvious parallels to Howard - distant and dismissive, with most of the day to day pawned off on an employee, but it's obvious to the audience, though not Peter, that Tony cares a great deal but lacks any emotional tools to express that.
But most of the Irondad content I've seen ignores that and stuffs Tony and Peter into the most generic father/son cliches. As someone who prefers canon to fanon most of the time, this sort of "OC with a canon name" type stuff never really computes.
For 18, Eternals. I loved Eternals. I loved everyone in Eternals. Sersi, Kingo, Karun, Gilgamesh, Thena my beloveds. I'm always a sucker for adventure, putting the band back together, complicated relationships between people who love each other, and kind and sincere heroes, and Eternals has all of that.
Several people have told me that it's the one MCU film they can't finish, while for me it's the only Phase 4 movie I can watch on repeat.
Thanks so much for the ask!

Now witnessing them, you wondered if you were once an Eternal too. In this action-packed sequel, feel the lost and the warmth of rekindling the love of two perpetually young lovers.

PART ONE

“Where is Y/N?” Sersi asked, noticing your absence from the group. They were currently all huddled together in the village after some time apart.
“I think she’s with Druig,” Sprite replied. “I heard her asking one of the villagers where Druig’s hut was,”
“Sprite!” Kingo groaned. “Why did you let her go by herself? You know it could trigger her memories,”
“Wh—I was telling the kids a story!” she replied, frowning at Kingo.
“We should go up to him and take Y/N away,” Ikaris added, earning a frown from Thena.
“I don’t think he’s gonna hurt her,” Thena replied. “Even if he does, she’s more powerful than him. She can handle herself,”
“I should go up there,” Ikaris said. Kingo was getting ready with him but a villager stopped them.
“I’m sorry but Druig told us not to let anyone near his hut. He told us that he would like to spend a quiet afternoon with Y/N,” they said. “I’m sure Y/N is fine. Druig has never laid a hand on anyone in this village and would never intentionally hurt somebody,”
Ikaris tightly closed his eyes before nodding. This was what he didn’t want—you and Druig meeting again. It posed too much of a risk for him. Firstly, your memories could be triggered which could result in harm. Secondly, Druig might take his intention a step further. Thirdly, your rekindling romance with the mind controller could delay your mission. The Eternals, unaware of the burden he had to carry, seemed fine after the villager assured them.
“Fine but I will shoot Druig with my finger blasts if he hurts Y/N,” Kingo threatened, making Sprite laugh.
“Finger blasts?” Sprite asked, chuckling.
“We should probably let them have the afternoon together. It might be good for the two of them,” Thena said softly. She had a clue of what you felt. What’s an afternoon with Druig going to cost them anyway?
“Do you think you can read my mind? Or control it?” you asked. You sat in the front of Druig’s hut, legs dangling in the air. Coconut trees and huts surrounded the two of you, the lushness of green providing you peace.
“Yeah,” he replied. “I haven’t tried to do it to the Eternals but I could do it,”
“Can you read what I’m thinking right now?” you asked, closing your eyes. “It’s okay you don’t have to be afraid,” you whispered, inching your face closer to his.
Druig’s heart hammered in his chest. Should he do it? It would help him understand you better but is it really worth all the risk? Was he being selfish if he said that he wanted to? That he really wants to get inside your mind and know who you’ve been in the past thousand of years? With a shaky voice, Druig replied.
“I-I can’t,” he said. You opened your eyes and he watched as your eyelashes flutter, wishing he could somehow remember the way your pupils moved as it adjusted to the light.
“I’m sorry,” you apologised. “I shouldn’t be doing that,”
“No! It’s my fault, actually,” Druig replied nervously. ”Please don’t worry about me, darling. I simply overestimated my power,” he lied.
The truth was, on top of triggering your memories, he was also scared of knowing the truth. Do you still love him the way he loves you? Do you still burn for him the way he burns for you? Every nerve in his body was telling him to travel inside your mind but he had to restrain himself. He had no shame in admitting to himself that he was scared. The people of the village might as well crucify him and shame him for it. He didn’t care. He loves you.
“Druig, do you know what’s so great about being an Eternal?” you asked him. You were at the edge of the world, looking at the expanse of the blue sea and he hummed.
“It’s the fact that I get to love you for as long as I shall live,” you added. “But now that my curse caught up to me, just remember that I will still love you. If you feel alone, think of my love for you. I hope you cherish it. I hope my love sustains you as your love sustains me,”
Druig, with the sea forgotten, stared at you.
“I don’t think I would ever know what to do if you’re not with me,” he replied. “But I will cherish that love and nurture it. Once you forget about me tomorrow, please never forget the insurmountable love that I have for you. You don’t have to remember me at all but please, remember my love,”
“I’m glad,” you said softly, tears in your eyes. “I hope you remember this day forever because I promise to give you flowers when our paths cross again,”
That was the conversation you shared with him before you lost your memories. He felt ashamed. Of course, you still love him. Who was he to doubt the love that sustained him all these years? You gave him flowers the first time you met again as promised. Wasn’t that enough to satisfy his greed?
“Are you alright?” you asked him, snapping him out of his trance. Druig blinked to clear the cloudiness in his eyes.

It Feels Like I’ve Known You Forever (Druig x Eternal!Reader)

This is a multi-part series. If you want to be notified when the parts come out, fill up my taglist. Thank you!
“Kingo?” you called for your friend. He’s been your friend for the longest time and like you, Kingo lived forever. You didn’t know why he was the same but life with Kingo was all you knew. He has taught you how to control your powers and has been your greatest friend in the world. When you first met, you had nothing but your name. All you remembered back then was that you lived in a hut in some abandoned village. There was no life, no traces of anything but fire and chaos. You have been under his wing ever since.
When you saw him, you saw new faces talking to him. Kingo stilled for a moment before smiling at you.
“Y/N! Come meet my friends from college,” Kingo lied. You tilted your head but went along with it. Something in Kingo’s eyes said that he was going to tell you where they’re from. You had a clue, though. They were probably the same as him.
“Hi, I’m Y/N,” you greeted while walking towards them. “It’s nice to meet all of you,”
“Y/N, this is Sersi,” Kingo pointed to a raven-haired girl and then to someone younger, “Sprite and of course, Ikaris,”
“Oh, Y/N! It’s so nice to finally meet you,” Sersi greeted, opening her arms to envelope you in a hug. You might have been mistaken but you were sure that tears were threatening to spill in her eyes. “Kingo has told us so much about you,” she said as she separated from you.
“Good things, I hope?” you asked.
“Of course! You know me, I will never talk badly about you,” Kingo replied. “What did you need?”
“Can we speak in private?” you asked him. He nodded and gestured to his friends to go out for a bit. “I’ve been feeling faint since the morning and I’ve tried our usual remedies but they don’t work,”
Kingo frowned, worry settling on his features. When you first had your episodes, Kingo made you promise to tell him every time you felt faint or if something unusual happened. You agreed and stayed loyal to the promise. Without it, your episodes might have been way worse.
“We can probably ask Sersi about it,” he said. Upon seeing your confusion, he added, “You remember the family that I talked to you about?” you nodded. “That’s them,”
Joy filled up your features and you smiled widely.
“That’s them? You should’ve told me!” you said, punching Kingo’s arm. “I feel rude for letting them go outside now,”
“It’s okay, they understand,” Kingo assured.
-
Turns out, Sersi didn't know how to remedy your headache. However, all of them had an idea of what might be the cause, although nobody dared to tell you the truth.
That night, Kingo revealed that he needed to go to Australia to meet his other family members, Thena and Gilgamesh. He asked you to go with him and his family. You agreed, excited to finally meet the people Kingo missed the most. Besides, what else could you do?
While you were sleeping in his plane, the Eternals began to talk.
“How long has she been experiencing her headaches?” Sersi asked.
“Ever since her memories were erased,” Kingo sighed. “It’s always been bearable because it was easy to heal with Ajak’s advice but her advice hasn’t been effective lately,”
“Ajak did say that she might experience headaches from time to time. Has she remembered anything yet?“ Ikaris asked.
“She said she’s been dreaming of faceless people in fragments,” Kingo replied. “She said that there’s a man in black and red with her all the time,”
“That’s Druig,” Sprite said the obvious. “I hope she’ll be alright once she sees him. Can she still control her powers?”
“Yeah,” Kingo replied. “She can manipulate people into doing things against their will now. I think, she’s even more dangerous now more than a thousand years ago,”
Sersi looked at Kingo expectantly.
“She can make things burst without flicking a finger. We tried it one time with a watermelon,” Kingo replied. “She can probably do the same to Deviants,”
“Such a shame she erased her memories,” Ikaris commented. Kingo scowled at him. He admired Ikaris but also hated how Ikaris belittled your skills just because he was threatened by it. He had to engage in physical combat while you only had to slightly move your fingers to kill Deviants with swords, rocks, and other weapons. Ikaris would never tell anyone but he was glad you agreed to erase your memories. He was the first person to suggest it anyway.
“You’re being rude, Ikaris,” Sersi said. She knew just how hurt Kingo is right now. After passing the news of Ajak’s death and now, Ikaris with his comments about you, Kingo almost wanted to turn the plane back to India and never speak to the Eternals ever again. Kingo watched as Ikaris raised his hand in defence.

Ties That Cut (b. bridgerton x reader)
SYNOPSIS: The Bridgertons are great friends of your family and you find yourself particularly close to the artist. While your ties with Benedict Bridgerton has proven to be one of the things you and Benedict treasure the most, your fear of the unknown has only resulted to more pain and pining. As you traverse through adulthood, you found yourself growing together and then, growing apart. (The third entry to my Bridgerton Ball event)

When Benedict was accepted into the academy for arts, you were one of the first people to know. It happened because you were with him, Colin, and Eloise in their house in Kent. Benedict has been your closest friend, having grown up together. You were slightly younger than him as you were the same age as Colin but you have always had a friendship like no other.
While Anthony was off to do his duties, Benedict had the liberties to do whatever he pleases. The same liberties go with Colin too.
Your friendship with the Bridgertons has been natural. It was an innate instinct that you all shared because your mothers’ greatest friends were each other. You have witnessed Anthony’s assumption of being the Viscount, Benedict’s artistic pursuits, Colin’s thirst for travel, Daphne’s marriage to Simon, Eloise’s strengthening world view, and everything else. They, too, had the pleasure to witness your older brother’s marriage and your introduction to society.
“This is the worst,” Eloise groaned. “I mean, how can they expect us women to pride ourselves in these tight, unflattering attire for men to ogle at?”
You chuckled. You were walking with Eloise in the gardens of Aubrey Hall. Violet Bridgerton has taken it upon herself to host weeklong festivities in their old home. She has done it every year and has outdone herself every time.
“Your mother wishes for you to find a match here,” you told her. “The same goes for your brothers too,”
“I’d rather she didn’t,” Eloise replied. “And you? I think she’s doing this for you too. Your mother collaborated with her for this ball. It’s why this is even bigger and much grander than the last. I mean, why don’t you just marry someone in my family so we can finally be sisters?”
“Eloise!” you scolded. “I don’t think it works out like that,”
“Well, how does it work? You can marry Benedict or Colin since Anthony is already preoccupied with the Sharmas. I would rather you marry Benedict. He’s my favourite brother and I can can vouch his character,” she said, suggestively wiggling her eyebrows.
“Why don’t you marry one of my brothers?” you asked.
“Your older brother is already married and your younger brother is the same age as Gregory,” she replied, sticking her tongue out. “You’re with us all the time. You’re practically family for all of us. Just marry—“
“I do not wish to marry any of your brothers,” you lied. “Besides, how could I marry someone who hasn’t asked?”
“Oh. It is a matter of asking then,” she replied. “I’m gonna ask Benedict since you’re his most favourite friend,”
“If you do, I will introduce a bachelor to you. Someone you will not like,” you warned her, emphasising the word “not.”
“Don’t you dare…”
“How does Lord William Rutherford sound?” you teased. “I heard he was recently kicked out of his club because of misdemeanour…something about the ice on his drink melting,”
Eloise gasped.
“I can have you acquainted if you like. He owes my father a sum he cannot pay,” you added. “From gambling, of course,”
“You will not!” Eloise replied, charging at you but you only ran from her, laughing loudly at her much to her chagrin.
Benedict, on the other hand, watched as Eloise ran after you with a small smile on his face.
“Brother, do you think she would get the message and ask you to marry her if you continue to stare at her like that?” Colin asked.
“I am not staring!” Benedict defended, snapping his gaze from you to look at his younger brother.
“…and the sky is a beautiful green,”
“But I am not,” Benedict replied. “I am merely amazed at how Eloise lets Y/N go with her teasing,”
“Eloise has been trying to persuade her to dance with you,” Colin said, piquing Benedict’s interest.
“And?”
“And what?”

HC for all the Bridgerton Bros, after the scene where El asks how women get pregnant you are like a friend of Daphnes and you ask them (the bros individually) and I just wonder how they would react/explain that?
Have You Ever Been to a Farm? (ABC Brothers)
Second entry for my Bridgerton Ball
helpful links: navigation | master lists | rules and guidelines | tag list | fic recs
CONTEXT: You were spending the afternoon with all the Bridgertons when Eloise barged in from spending an afternoon with Penelope with the question, "How does a lady come to be with child?"
Daphne stopped playing the pianoforte and you looked up from the book that you were reading. Being acquainted with Daphne for the social season and because your mother was a close friend of the Bridgerton matriarch, you grew to be comfortable in their household. Violet was startled at the question while Anthony, Benedict, and Colin were preventing themselves from laughing. The commotion happened but the question still remains unsolved—how does a lady come to be with child? You had no brothers or sisters to ask and your mother reprimanded you for such a tactless question.
Anthony Bridgerton:
I think you would ask Anthony hesitantly
Like you were in the park, having afternoon tea and while he moodily broods over the fact that he could not spend his time the way he wanted, you were walking up to him with intent written on your face
He would taise his eyebrows in anticipation while you blush
“Anthony, how does a lady come to be with child?”
He would pause.
A long pause because he could not believe that someone as you would ask him directly.
“Anthony?”
He would nod and straighten his back.
How the hell is he going to answer this without sounding like a rake?
You were like a sister to him and naturally, he was protective of you
“What do you need this information for?” he would ask.
Was it him or was the temperature suddenly hot?
“Well, I’d like to know. I am a debutante after all,” you would reply.
“Very well,” he would reply. “When a man and a woman love each other they engage in…an ardent embrace,”
“A hug?” you asked. “I don’t think—“
“An ardent one,” he stressed. “Hugs that happen at night without anybody knowing,”
“Oh,” you replied. “Does that mean that if I hug Benedict or Colin with everyone knowing, I won’t have a child?”
“What?” he would ask. “Why shall you hug him?”
“I don’t know,” you lied. “I just do not understand,”
“You cannot engage in an ardent embrace during the daylight or with anyone around,” he added. “And do not bring my brothers into this. They are despicable,”
“But Anthony, I do not get it—“
“I do not wish to speak on it any further, I hope you grant me of my request,” he interrupted, looking straight ahead. He was watching Daphne and Simon like a hawk.
“Anthony, please answer—“
“Grant my wish,” he said sternly.
You frowned. But much to your chagrin, you yielded before walking off.

Smoke and Mirrors (a.b.)

A dance.
Taunting, complex, and confusing. It was how you would describe your relationship with Anthony.
You debuted the social season two years ago and every year, you felt like your novelty has diminished. Your mother, who was the Diamond during her years, has felt the pressure of you not being off to wed yet. It wasn’t as if it was your choice to be the dreaded spinster. It was just that the men you have been acquainted with were either too old, too arrogant, or did not align with your ideals at all. It was how the Ton thought of you as hard to please, too big headed, and other insults that they may call a woman who wishes for a life of good and respectable marriage.
Love was not a requirement whatsoever, seeing as your parents did not marry out of love but out of duty.
Being a discerning and organised woman, you had made the mental list of requirements for the position. It has been something that you had concocted over the years in the Marriage Market. No man who shall be called your husband can be “just a little bit” or “almost there”. Whoever shall be wedded to you has to be just right. Your friends thought that it was quite absurd for you to go into detail about your perfect man but you knew that no matter how much they have scorned you for it, there will be someone who will be just right. Whoever in their right mind, after all, would reject a woman with a great sum of dowry and the ownership to some of your family’s estates?
First, he ought to be someone reasonably attractive. You didn’t need a handsome man (although it would be nice) but you figured that if you need to lay in bed with him, he has to be appealing enough to make the act a little bit more pleasant.
Second, he has to be smart. This is quite hard to find amongst the men of London. Given that they were most likely to have been educated from Eton or Oxford, you were not impressed with men’s intellect. The last time you talked to a man was at a ball. She asked him if he preferred to live in the country or in the city. He replied that he would like to live in the Americas.
As a woman who has been over accomplished in many aspects of her life, she expects her husband to at least hold a meaningful conversation. Besides, she did not want stupid children.
Third, he must be family-oriented. They were growing a family together and she did not need her children to ask where their father was. He must be attentive to their children and must treat them fairly.
She need not fall in love with her husband but if she ever found whom she was looking for, she swears loyalty, respect, and companionship (if not friendship)—she expects him to return all of them to her.
Meanwhile, in the Bridgerton house, Anthony was thinking the same. After Sienna Rosso, he decided to not love.
He was staring intently at the olive on his plate.
“Good god, Anthony! What did the olive ever do to you?” Benedict asked. “You’re looking at it as if it committed a grave crime against you,”
“No, nothing at all,” Anthony replied. He thought hard. If he needed to find a wife, he had to tell his family about it.
“Spit it out,” Benedict said. “I would offer you a penny for your thoughts though I know that they do not cost a penny for the salvation of the poor green olive,”
Colin chuckled from across the room.
“Do you know any smart debutantes? Or bachelorette?” Anthony asked.
“Hm, I heard Thorpe talk about botany and she sounded correct to me,” Colin replied. “McCarthy was also talking about mythology,”
“Great. I can start there,” Anthony nodded.
“Why are you asking?” Colin asked.
“I have decided to find a wife this social season,” Anthony announced.
The chaos in the drawing room halted. Hyacinth looked up from playing the pianoforte, Gregory had stopped playing chess with Eloise, Benedict raised his eyebrows in surprise. Colin also paused from getting a refill of tea from his Mama.
“Dearest, would you like to repeat that again?” Violet asked, fearing to have misheard the announcement.
Anthony stood up with newfound purpose.
“This is the season in which I will finally look for a wife,” he announced. “Now, please excuse me,”
Violet speechlessly nodded.
“Did everyone hear that right?” Eloise asked. “Anthony wishes to be married this season?”

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE MCU PHASE 5 (SDCC)
Soo theres a lot to discuss, lets get going shall we
Idk if the Guardians christmas special is still happening/is canon/is a part of phase 5, finishing phase 4 on black panther makes a lot of sense but at the same time, starting the next phase with a special doesn't
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
This movie will see the main group of heroes travel into the quantum realm and battle Kang
We dont know if Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) and Jimmy Woo (Randall Park) are returning (please give us some news about ghost homegirl has been waiting for them to return from the quantum realm for 5 years)
Kang (Jonathan Majors) is set to appear and to have some very cold lines about fighting the avengers in other universes
"Have i killed you before?" that's an amazing line right there yup
Modok will appear, however his appearance will be more metallic rather than the human face he has in the comic probably to avoid an uncanny valley moment (*cough * strange's 3rd eye)
Cassie Lang (Cathryn Newton) will appear as stinger. Her relationship with Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) will be explored as they struggle to connect given that Scott didn't see her grow up. (Paul Rudd seems to have debunked the rumor that Scott will be rich and famous and that will make him loose touch with his daughter, however, the rumor that he published a book has been confirmed)
There are rumors that Scott will die in this movie (pls stop)
The director also teased some unexpected cameos, and said the movie will change the MCU as a whole
Secret Invasion
Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) is confirmed to return (slay) as well as Rhodey (big slay)
QUAKE (CHLOE FRICKING BENNET) is rumored to return (chloe liked some twitter posts about her being in secret invasion and she is rumored to have signed a contract with marvel)
The series is rumored to be a political espionnage thriller with the same vibes as The Winter Soldier
We dont know how much of the Kree-Skrull war we will get to see as the series will likely be mostly set on earth
Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.3
This film is 'the end of the guardians era' for James Gunn, its likely the last Guardians movie HOWEVER that doesnt mean they will all die and cant appear in future projects
Drax (Dave Bautista) is rumored to die however (hot take: i don't really care about him and i never found him that funny)
The movie will have the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji) as one of its villains, and we will probably see how he experimented on Rocket Racoon (Bradley Cooper)
Baby Rocket is also there!!!!!
Adam Warlock (Will Poulter) will return and is rumored to have Goldenish skin
No trailer yet because the VFX isnt finished (that feels like a jab at the cgi quality hate the mcu is getting)
Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is rumored to join the ravagers and be as angsty as ever with Star-Lord (Chris Pratt)
Echo
This will be the first MCU-street level series (if you dont count Hawkeye because meh). It will likely be a setup of the mcu street level world so that they dont have to explain it in the Daredevil Series, i just hope the pacing will be ok and not just 6 hours of exposition about this reality
Echo (Alaqua Cox) will obviously return, but so will Daredevil, in his black suit (!!). It is very likely that Kingpin (Vincent D'Onofrio) will also return, given that he was shot by echo in the Hawkeye finale.
Daredevil is rumored to be looking for an old ally, that is rumored to be my baby Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter, marvel if you recast her i sWEAR-)
Loki season 2
Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia di Martino) will return and will be working at McDondald's (???) according to set photos (???)
Part of the show will be set in the seventies as a Bollywood poster featuring Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani) from that town is shown in set photos
Kang will probably appear given that he seems to have took over the TVA at the end of season 1
Mobius (Owen Wilson) will most likely be back
The Marvels
We will see light of my life Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) again
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) will most likely appear, following his appearance in secret invasion
Part of the movie is rumored to be a musical (why) as the characters end up in a planet where everyone sings. Carol (Brie Larson) is rumored to be married to this planets' leader (queen?) in a very killing eve-esque way
A scene is rumored to be a ship containing Humans, Skrulls and Flurkens (space cats!!!) being attacked (likely by Krees) and the cats gettinf people to safety
We will likely see the Kree empire again
Blade
Oooh another fun project i dont really know what to expect but it will likely be a street-level movie.
Mahershala Ali is rumored to play Blade (big yes), this is his second Marvel role after playing Cottonmouth in Netflix's Luke Cage
Anthony Starr (Homelander from the Boys) is rumored to star as Dracula
Dane Whittman (Kit Harrington) will likely star as the Black Knight after the Eternals post-credit scene featured him with the black sword adn Blade's voice
We might get a Werewolf by night (Gael Garcia Bernal) cameo (if the Halloween special is still a thing) or even a Moon Knight (Oscar Isaac) one (please marvel let me see my emotional support Dilf again)
Ironheart
Nothing much is known about the project, other than it will be centered around Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), that will appear beforehand in Wakanda Forever
There is a rumor that Obadiah Stane's son will appear
The show might revolve around the stole stark tech mentioned in No Way Home
Agatha: Coven of Chaos
The series was renamed (previously titled house of Harkness), we will likely see other witches given the title
They might be teasing Wanda's return (please!!!!!!) as she is the only Chaos Magic wielder in the mcu
The curse Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) put on Agatha (Kathryn Hanh) will most likely be broken after Wanda's DeAtH in MoM
Maybe we get some more information on Ralf Bohner (Evan Peters) or smt because his character in WandaVision was pointless
MePhIsTo.. no but maybe Chton??? since they changed the title to include the world Chaos
Daredevil: Born Again
The series will be 18 episodes long and most likely TV-MA (pls marvel)
Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk will return, and so will Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) most likely
The Punisher is set to return
If the Echo rumors about Jessica Jones are true, she might appear here too
If were lucky we get all of the defenders or even Claire (Rosario Dawson)
It is unclear wether this series will be the fourth season of the original, however it will probably be a soft reboot (the og series still happened so they dont have to explain character motivations and stuff but it wont be referenced
Captain America: New World Order
SAM WILSON (ANTHONY MACKIE) IS CAP, STEVE IS EITHER DECOMPOSING OR ON DEATHBED STOP SAYING HE WILL RETURN AS CAP IT FEELS RACIALLY MOTIVATED
oh and also no bucky (Sebastian Stan) will not be the next cap
he will be in this film tho, most likely and people are speculating wether he will die (i would die with him)
the title is the same as the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
Isaiah Bradley (Carl Lumbly) and his nephew (Elijah Richardson) might return (pls), as well as John Walker (Wyatt Russell) and Zemo (Daniel Bruhl)
Idk why but i feel like this movie will setup the Thunderbolts, like maybe the government realize that a superhearo is more of a PR stunt that someone they cand send on possibly comprosmizing missions, which leads to the cration of this villain team
THUNDERBOLTS
Most likely we will get a tribute to William Hurt (Thaddeus Ross) given he passed away recently
Given that fact, Zemo will most likely be the leader of the team
This basically Marvel's suicide squad so i hope they manage to make the movie different enough
Valentina Allegra (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) will most likely be the one to put the team together and recruit agents.
Yelena (Florence Pugh), Bucky, Abomination (Tim Roth) and Ghost are all likely on the team
Especially ghost because i feel like they put her in Marvel Zombies out of nowhere to remind us of her existence since she wont have a major role in Quantumania
Some characters that are yet to be introduced will be in this movie

druig x black widow!avengers!reader
summary: the eternals have come to officially meet with the avengers at the compound, yet one of them seems to be a ghost from your forgotten past.
word count: 2.6k
warnings: sarcasm, slight gore, recalls of ptsd
a/n: based on the song 'Until I Found You' by Stephen Sanchez
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
"They'll be arriving in a few minutes," Your feet carried you in order to keep up with the two men slightly ahead of you as they continued their stoic expressions.
"How many of them did you say there were?" Sam asked, raising a brow to his teammate who was supposed to be retired.
"Six. Apparently, there were ten, but they didn't tell me what happened to the other four. But if they've been on this planet for as long as they say then..."
Picking up your pace, you were able to jog in between the two men, "My question is why now? Where were they while we got our ass kicked by Thanos and when we brought everyone back?"
"I guess you'll have to ask them that," Clint shrugged, still keeping his serious tone and expression, "Is Yelena going to be able to make it?"
You sighed and shook your head, "Nope, can't get her to pick up my calls. What about Kate?"
"Who's Kate?" Sam asked, looking at both of you for an answer.
"Clint's protege-"
"She's more of a sidekick-"
"His replacement, but better."
"Whatever," Clint chuckled sarcastically, "It doesn't matter what Kate is, she is not coming. She's testifying in court today."
Taking in a deep breath, you let it go and arrived at the entrance to the landing pad. You opened the door to the observation deck, a new addition to the compound so that wind didn't whip you in the face every time someone took off or landed. Still, they had yet to arrive and the skies were clear of any aircraft.
"Did you guys at least consider my idea of inviting the Spider-man to the team? I'm sure he's a blast," You added, nudging Sam's side.
"I don't think he's much of a team guy, besides New York is enough to handle," Sam shook his head, "Plus I don't think anyone knows how to contact him. It's not exactly easy to get the identity of a masked hero."
A shocked expression graced your face and you chuckled at his statement, "You can track the Winter Soldier, but not a random spider dude in New York?"
"Nah, don't play like that. Bucky doesn't wear a mask and I was chasing a cold case for months so don't start anything," Sam teased back, responding with the same amount of sarcasm.
"So you're saying that I'm better than you-"
"Excuse me-"
"Both of you quit it before I turn off my hearing aid," Clint scolded both of you, before gesturing to the skies, "I think they're about to arrive, and I don't need them to see the hot mess you two are."
A plane had appeared and was beginning its descent onto the runway. As it grew closer, you could identify it better and knew it was a private jet - who knew millennia-old beings would want to travel in style. If that wasn't enough, as soon as it hit the ground you could make out large purple letters that read 'KINGO'.
Kingo... You knew that name...
Once the plane had come to a complete stop, agents of the compound began to open the craft so that these so-called Eternals could reveal themselves. At first, a stubby Indian man with some gray hair stumbled out of the plane only to be followed by the rest of the group, all of who were taller than the man. He fumbled with a digital camera, attempting to record their swagger as he called out to them.
Once you stepped outside, you could hear him clearly, "I must record the great Eternals and the Avengers first meeting! This is history!"
"Well then let's start making history, fellas... and ladies," Clint called out, attempting to act cool and collected.
"You could have just stuck with fellas," You added, stepping to his right as the groups lined up to face one another.
"Cut him some slack, (Y/N), the guy is nervous," Sam said from the other side of Clint.
"I'm am not nervous, I'm a founding member of the Avengers," Clint rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Well, I-I am a bit nervous," The woman that lead the Eternals finally spoke. Her tone was calm and warm, a contrast to her words, "I'm Sersi, Prime Eternal, and it is wonderful to finally meet you three."
"I'm Clint Barton aka Hawkeye, it's good to meet you as well," Clint stuck out his hand and Sersi gladly shook it.
Sam spoke up next, "I'm Sam Wilson, Captain America - formerly known as Falcon. Excited to see you all."
"Why are we being so formal?" You scoffed and shook your head, "Hey, I'm (Y/N), also known as Agent Widow. Now I only have one question for all of you, and that is - Where the hell have you guys been for all of human history, and what have you been doing?"
Everyone's eyes cut to you, shocked by your candidness. Clint gulped before jumping in again, "I'm so sorry about her bluntness, she doesn't mean to be so rude-"
"That's quite alright," A tall blonde-hair woman spoke up, a smirk playing on her lips, "I like your fire."
"Thank you," You smiled, elbowing Clint, "Some people around here don't appreciate it enough, but I'm glad you enjoy it..."
"Thena," She spoke curtly.
"Thena, like Athena?"
"Not like Athena - She is Athena," The taller Indian man interjected.
"Yes, except you drop the A - it's just Thena."
Sam, who was entirely confused, tried to piece it together, "Wait - so you're telling me that you are the Greek Goddess Athena?"
"No, no, no," Another member of their group spoke up. He was about as tall as Thena, but carried an intelligence to him, "The Greeks named their Gods after us. So Thena to Athena, and there's me - Phastos to-"
"Hephaestus."
"Yes," Phastos smiled, before motioning towards a girl in a brown leather jacket and dreads pulled up into a bun, "And also Makkari to Mercury."
Makkari signed something that you couldn't quite make out, so you turned to Clint for assistance but another man spoke up, "She said that they never quite got her look right. Which is so true, because as a director I know how marketing your look is-"
"Wait- Are YOU Kingo? Like Bollywood's greatest actor and acting legacy, Kingo?" You interrupted.
"See, I told you that I'm recognizable," Kingo shrugged at the others before looking at you again, "Let me guess, you're a huge fan."
"No, but Thor talked about you once or twice and how he loves your movies and even your internet content," Sam mentioned.
Multiple conversations arose amongst the group as everyone became acquainted. There was no pattern to it; only interjecting where one could or throwing out another question. Their stories and tales and what the Eternals had mentioned in passing were astonishing, and you all tried to soak it up.
As everyone went to enter the compound, you hung back and approached the only person in the group yet to say anything. You couldn't quite read him - he challenged everything you knew about body language. This boy with the black leather jacket and matching black outfit seemed both so uninterested, but so intrigued at the same time.
"Do you usually avoid people, or are you trying to finish your plan to murder the Avengers?"
"What?" He was taken aback, but there was only a slight shift in his voice to indicate that. He also had an Irish accent to him.
"I mean, you haven't spoken a word since you landed and just keep lowkey starring at me so I just wanted to get a vibe," You shrugged, but mentally you wondered if you were actually digging yourself a grave. He didn't seem like a bad dude, but he was acting strange.
His blue eyes skimmed over your face again before flicking back to make eye contact, "Sorry, your face just looks familiar."
You chuckled to yourself, "Well, I did read somewhere that there are at least seven people who look like you on Earth currently, so maybe you've seen as a variant of me or something crazy like that."
The unnamed man continued to watch your expression carefully as you kept rambling with such ease. He knew the outline of your jaw, the tip of your nose, how your eyes creased when you smiled a little too big; he just couldn't make sense of it.
"It's just crazy to me how you've been around for near-"
"Are you Russian?" He finally spoke again.
However, you faltered in your words and completely stopped talking. Everything went slack as you looked at him in confusion.
"I- Who told you that?" You backed away, becoming aware of your closeness to him. A chill ran over you as you turned to walk away.
"I didn't intend to upset - (Y/N), please" your name rolled off his tongue like it was repeatedly used in his vocabulary.
You had no clue how this man knew you or anything remotely about your background - but you knew best to stay away as a precaution, "I-I'm sorry, I think I hear Clint calling my name."
And with that, you left the unnamed man with the leather jacket standing alone in the halls of the compound. Maybe it was harsh for the first meeting, in your case, but it was always better to be safe than sorry in this field.
---
"Where the hell are you?" Your voice seethed at the phone. Yelena had finally picked up one of your calls - thirteenth times the charm.
"(Y/N), you're disrupting my day off. I'm visiting Chicago and there's a giant metal bean. These Americans and their modern art is so weird-"
"Yelena, I am currently having a crisis so I'm sorry to interrupt your little trip. Are you positive all my files were erased when the Red Room fell?"
The tone shifted quickly, "Yes, I watched Natasha erase them myself. Who is after you?"
You took a deep breath to calm yourself, this was nothing that the two of you couldn't handle. However, the tightness in your chest remained, and a chill crawled up your spine. Your mind felt hazy as if you were looking at yourself in a mirror, but someone else was on the other side.
A sigh escaped past your lips as you leaned against the wall of the kitchen, thankful for the solitude, "No one, I think. I don't know."
Another sigh, you scanned the room just to make sure no other Avengers or the Eternals were nearby. With the coast clear, you continued to talk, "One of the people Clint invited knows something-"
"How do you know?"
"He asked if I was Russian..." Your lip quivered slightly, "Yelena, I've worked too hard to clean my ledger and I can't have this random prick step into the compound and destroy it all. I don't want to end up like Barnes or the others."
A floorboard creaked from around the corner, you would be compromised unless it was Clint about to enter. The haze in your mind began to clear and you realized how close the intruder was, "Yelena, I have to let you go."
Without hesitation, you grabbed a red apple and a small knife - with items in hand, you began to core the apple. A midnight snack was an easy excuse to be in the kitchen. The steps came closer before pausing right at the corner of the fridge. Your eyes flicked up to see if you could see an outline, but the intruder remained hidden. The knife came down onto the apple again, along with the tip of the blade, grazing the tip of your index finger.
"Shit!" You exclaimed, dropping the knife and reaching for a napkin.
"Everything okay in here, (Y/N)?" It was his voice - of course.
You tried to look everywhere but his eyes as you addressed the wound and answered his question with a slight nod. You heard the fridge open and close as he fetched his own snack. As he poured his chosen snack into a bowl, you fought every urge in your body to look at him. There was a magnetic pull to him to you couldn't explain even if you wanted to.
And still, no matter how much pressure you put on the cut, it wouldn't stop oozing red, "Mind if I take a lot at it?"
He asked from over your shoulder. His tone was genuine and maybe you could pull what he knew out of him to discover his game.
"Uh, sure," With your affirmation, he snagged a fresh paper towel from the counter. You pulled the blood-stained one away from your finger and held the appendage out for him to observe. He took it between his own slender fingers and dabbed at it gently with the paper towel. There was a slight sting from the contact, but as soon as he heard the hiss from your mouth his next action was unexpected.
He tugged your finger up to his lips by the wrist. In nearly slow motion, he pressed a kiss to the wound as his eyes met yours. Then, he lowered your wrists, yet your eye contact held between each other. Only for everything to melt away...
The air felt like hot steam against your skin as the hot Amazonian air clung to everything. You had lost your squadron sixteen hours ago and had managed to lose yourself within the forest. Scraps covered any exposed skin, except for two large gashes. One of your shoulders from bricks toppling on top of you and another in your thigh from where another widow had stabbed you.
All of your coms were down, and the haze that hung over your consciousness had been eradicated. You were alone, with nightfall returning shortly.
In a blur, you had stumbled into a small village - free of advanced technologies besides medical equipment and running water. All who noticed you immediately observed you as an outsider which you were. But after their initial hesitation, some of the villagers approached you, sensing your acquired injuries and facing stability.
As they helped carry and guide you toward a medical wing, you could see how some of their eyes turned a metallic gold and took further observations over your state and possibly how great a threat you were. You could tell that it wasn't by their own choice though.
A moment later and you were sitting on a cot, a kind elder woman addressing the gash on your thigh that had thankfully stopped pleading. Two other assistants helped dress more noticeable cuts that littered your body.
But there was another weight on the bed. Your head turned to see him, but in a dark gray rob with concern painted all over his face. He knew you weren't a threat, he knew that you held to the purpose of harm, and he knew what you had experienced was torturous. He tended to the large gash on your shoulder that had continued to plead and soak through rag after rag. Instinctively, he brought his lips to brush against your shoulder, and instead of searing pain - there was warmth as he pressed feather-light kisses around the cut. Almost immediately, the bleeding had stopped and he was able to continue cleaning the wound until everything was patched.
Here, there was safety and care. The kindness and love of a stranger who helped nurse wounds of the past.
Suddenly, the reality of the compound and the kitchen came flooding back. Everything felt cold except for two warm hands that lay on your shoulders. Your eyes flicked from the polished floors and up into blue eyes - familiar blue eyes.
"Who are you?"
His hands slid down your arms until they rested in your hands. He squeezed them lightly to affirm that you were safe at the moment there with him.
"I'm Druig," he smiled warmly, and rested his forehead against your own, "And I promised I would never fall again until I found you."
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧
Enjoy this little one-shot! I enjoyed writing the black widow concept!

I watched eternals and ok I have THOUGHTS so I’m putting it here and I’m in a cab frantically typing this so it’s basically unfiltered thoughts kay thanks
- it’s different. It got a very obvious mainstream look. It is still a high budget, heavy CGI or like “comic book hero’s” movie but the more I think about it, the less I find a movie from the last few movies in the MCU to compare it to. So, it’s still very super hero movie, just not like the MCU.
- it’s felt a bit like watching Captain America Civil War. We know all of them, and we know they’ve interacted with each other.
- Something felt incomplete, I think it’s the limited amount we know about each of the eternals on their own? But it’s not really a problem
- seeing Kit Harrington and Richard Madden interact, with a sersi involved? The GoT/SOIAF fan in my has died. KINGS OF THE NORTH BABY!!!
SPOILERS-ish AHEAD
- Ikaris’s storyline was somewhat unpredictable, but also if the fate of his character is sealed, I just need to see what they do.
He’s also hilarious and Richard Madden has wonderful comedic timing
Also, seeing a super hero cry. Shed tears. Kill him self because he loves Sersi too much to kill her, but I’m not killing her is going against everything he believes in? I love Ikaris he is my favourite idiot boy.
- as a desi, everything about Kingo just… worked. PROPER HINDI BEING SPOKEN HAS SAVED ME AND I DONT EVEN LIKE HINDI!!!??? & THE dance sequence, the BHARATNATAYAM?? 12 year old me would learn that choreography in 5 min flat. 22 year old me will need an hour but I know I can do it.
HE SAID DISHOOM. DISHOOM.
- Sprite is such a fucking mood. Her relationship with Dane??? With Kingo?? Kingo and Dane need to meet now too, properly.
The illusions
Also when Kingo said he worked in the movies because he missed Sprite’s story telling
- Thena, my moon and stars and my favourite goddess of war. I want to hug u and hold ur hand and kiss ur knuckles baby you are loved. She can do no wrong and will do no wrong
- GILGAMESH DESERVES BETTER. I’ve concluded that Gilgamesh is a fun house husband who would make the best dad jokes. Also thena and Gil are my only OTP from the eternals. When he dies, the fkn crying.
- When Thena killed the Deviant, everyone in the room felt so much fkn relief. She’s so cool
- I really love Gilgamesh and thena so much. On their own and together
- Salma Hayek did such a WONDERFUL job, the mothering and the nurturing. GOD
- PHASTOS!!! Hilarious & romantic and a good father!! Dude just seeing him KISS A MAN on the big screen?? A MAN OF COLOUR!! GAY MEN KISS IS A MARVEL FILM GODDAMN IT. and the way he talks about his HUSBAND BEN? Wonderful. This is essentially the exchange between him and other eternals
“I thought u lost all hope in humanity”
“They remind me that there’s good left”
- Druig is a himbo I think. I like him. If I could control the minds of people, I too would contemplate taking over humanity to get rid of greed and violence etc etc
- Makkari and Druig are cute. I want more Makkari content because She is so fun. She is every quirky incorrect Marvel quote but in actuality. Also something about her signing her words brings in so much personality to her whole character
- HARRY STYLES IS EROS CONFIRMED
- MY BABY MANS DANE WHITMORE IS BACK
Overall? Imma need to watch it again to decide how much I love it but it’s a 3/5.
#eternals#marvel eternals#Richard madden#Gemma chan#Angelina Jolie#Kingo#kumail nanjiani#sersi#ikaris#sprite#Druig#Makkari#ajak#phastos#Gilgamesh#thena#spoilers eternals#eternals spoilers#marvel spoilers

Wayward Devotion part twelve: resent
Pairing: Ikaris x Reader
Summary: who knows? Wanda is my hero, that's really all there is to say.
Words: 2074
Warning: swearing, horribly slow burn, violence and probably other shit
link to park eleven
-
“I just wanted to say sorry,” Fitz states solemnly, “it really was the only choice.”
“What was?” You tilt your head at the man.
“Erasing your memory,” he states, as if it’s obvious.
“You erased my memory?” you ask, baffled.
-
“What the hell is going on?” Sam storms into the cell, looking over to you. You can tell he’s angry, and don’t exactly blame him.
You put your hands up slowly, looking to make sure Ikaris does the same. Begrudgingly, he does.
“Yeah Y/N this is wrong,” Bucky agrees sarcastically in a monotone voice, “Sam is totally right.” He adds on boredly, not moving from the doorway.
“Radio silence for-”
“Sam pleas-” You try to cut him off.
“Fourteen hours!” He raises his voice to end the sentence.
“No messages,” he continues, “no phone calls, nothing. What the hell were you thinking?”
“I get you’re upset-” You try to make your case, but he cuts you off again, actually angry, “Explain. Now.”
“We didn’t do anything unjustifiable,” you point to the couple, keeping your voice steady, “they erased my memory. I swear.”
“She’s right,” Ikaris agrees, arms now crossed and standing behind you, as if on his toes for an attack.
“So you kidnapped them?” Sam asks.
“I wouldn’t consider it a kidnapping,” you argue, “they are adults.”
“Then you abducted them!” He throws his hands out, before pointing to them, “this isn’t a good look Y/N. They’ll be agents on the way soon.”
In your defense, you didn’t really have time to let the Avengers know about your plan. Things happened too fast.
“We don’t need much time,” Ikaris offers, “let them confess.”
“That’s easier said than done,” Sam replies, slightly cooled down, “there are technicalities.”
“I don’t give a shit about technicalities,” you nearly whine, putting your hands down, “we need a team meeting. Now.”
“I agree,” Bucky calls out from the doorway.
You turn to Sam and give him a look. He meets your stare and puts his hands up, “conference room,” he concedes, “I’ll deal with them.” He looks over to the cell and back to you.
You thank him before leading Ikaris out of the jail cell, your hand in his. You make your way into the conference room to see Phastos, Bruce, Kingo, Ajak and Sprite already there.
“It’s good to see you’re okay,” Bruce greets and you manage a small smile.
“I don’t know if I’m okay,” you admit, “but I think things will start to make sense soon.”
You feel Ikaris squeeze his hand on your thigh, so you place your hand on top of his, squeezing back gently.
Ikaris could tell you were tired, but he felt exhausted. Whatever contraption Fitz had put him in took a toll.
It’s almost as if he was electrocuted from the inside out, leaving his bones aching and frail. He’s been down in fights before against deviants, but this? This made him want to lay in bed for twenty hours.
More specifically with you in that bed with him.
-
Ikaris’ mind feels foggy, almost disconnected as he comes to. He tries to lift his neck, but it’s restrained against the bed, and all of his limbs are too.
Fuck.
He tries to channel his energy, but it dissipates quickly, as if it’s fizzling out.
“A modified version of my quantum field disruptors,” he hears Fitz’ voice call out and he shifts his eyes to see the man at a table filled with different tools.
“Let me out of here,” Ikaris grits out between his teeth, “now.”
“We’re alike, you and I,” Fitz snaps the latex of his glove against his hand, ignoring Ikaris.
Ikaris fumes, but chooses to stay silent. Instead, he watches as Fitz picks up a marker and makes his way back over to Ikaris lying on the gurney.
“You’d do anything for Y/N,” he continues, speaking quieter as he marks lines on Ikaris’ forehead, “and I’d do anything for Jemma.”
“I’ve killed for her,” he seems to be talking more to himself as he tightens the bounds on Ikaris, “I’ve traveled through time for her. I’ve died for her,” he gives Ikaris a look, “and yet here you are trying to threaten me.”
Ikaris’ muscles strain against the bands, but as soon as he forces the material away, it shocks him, causing him to groan out. It wasn’t just electricity, it felt like a poison was flowing through his veins.
“That’ll be the gamma hydroxybutane,” Fitz explains, hearing the pain in Ikaris’ voice, “slowly subduing you.”
Ikaris stays still, trying to navigate the feeling of the drug inside his veins. He was surprised he could even feel it in the first place.
“Had to use a lot,” Fitz casually brings up, “it’ll burn through you quick, but I don’t need a lot of time.”
“What do you think you’re doing?” Ikaris finally speaks, glancing over to Fitz who seemed to be programming something.
“I knew I should’ve erased your memory of her, but I thought I was being kind by faking her death,” he admits, “I’m fixing my mistake.”
He was going to erase Ikaris’s memory of you. Maybe even his whole memory.
All seven thousand years.
The thought of all the memories the two of you shared being wiped from existence left Ikaris feeling like a stone had dropped in his stomach.
It also didn’t help that he felt like the room was spinning slightly.
“Let hell you are,” he nearly growls before pushing fully against the restraints and tries to break free, despite the pain.
It’s a losing game though.
Ikaris can feel the little energy he had left leaving his body and he stops pushing. Stars spot his vision and he focuses on his breath as he tries to not fall asleep.
He’s barely coherent, which makes him even more confused when the door to the room is busted open.
You stroll inside, but a wisp of red follows you, promptly making Fitz fall onto the floor.
You ignore Fitz though and head straight to Ikaris, and work on dismantling the bounds around him.
“Are you alright?” You ask, helping him off the dais carefully with your arm around his shoulder, ignoring the unconscious Jemma being carried into the room with a red mist. Wanda comes in after casually and works on tying the two up.
“How’d you know we’d be here?” Ikaris asks Wanda, but she ignores him.
“Are you okay?” You place your hands on Ikaris’ cheeks, making him face you.
“I’m okay,” he assures and you nod slowly.
“Good,” you say before you’re throwing your arms around him tightly.
“It’s okay,” he comforts, wrapping his arms around you, “are you okay?”
You nod into his neck and he breathes out, “I’m glad.”
“You were apart for an hour,” Wanda calls out from the other side of the lab, “get a grip.”
“I’m grateful,” you walk over and take her hands in yours, “but I don’t know if that was the best way to handle the situation.”
You look over to the two unconscious bodies on the floor next to you.
“They were gonna erase our memory,” Ikaris defends.
You sigh, “I know, I just wish we could’ve been civil, and you,” you turn to Wanda, “were never here. We don’t need another Westview.”
She nods, “I agree.”
“We’ll take them back to the compound and question them,” you plan, “and we’ll get to the bottom of this.”
You give Ikaris another squeeze before letting go. He takes your hand in his and you don’t stop him, “we need to go.”
Wanda nods, “you do.”
-
Your touch brings Ikaris back to reality. He looks around the table to see it full, even notices Pepper next to you.
“You with me?” You whisper into his ear, your hands intertwined on his thigh.
“Yeah,” he clears his throat, “just tired.”
“Me too,” you agree, “we should sleep for a year after this.”
He goes to reply, but Sam stands at the head of the table, directing everyone’s attention.
His hands rest against the wood, and you can see him visibly sigh.
“Explain everything,” he’s blunt and to the point, “now.”
-
You’re sitting in your jail cell.
You can see Ikaris pacing in his, but you’re trying to come up with a logical reason as to why Jemma and Fitz erased your memory.
“It just doesn’t make sense,” you mumble, more to yourself.
“We need to get out of here,” Ikaris calls out, punching the wall.
“We’re not getting out of these,” you turn to look at him, “they’re containment modules. Meant for inhumans, but are perfect for restraining powers like yours too.”
“Can’t you hack into it somehow?” Ikaris offers, “you did say you liked being in the lab more.”
“Where did they go?” You ask out loud, “I want answers.”
Suddenly a hose in Ikaris’s cell opens up, causing the container to be filled with a fog-like substance.
“Ikaris?” You call out, standing up, “Ikaris!”
He doesn’t respond though and when the fog clears you see him knocked out on the ground. You begin to pound against the glass, even though you know it’s futile.
Suddenly a hose in your cell opens as well, and before you know it your vision goes black.
-
You wake up strapped to an upright stretcher. Your head aches and you feel discombobulated.
You look around the room and notice you’re in a lab, and see Jemma facing away from you in a corner.
“Jemma,” you call out, voice hoarse from yelling.
“Jemma please just explain,” you try to reason, but she ignores you.
“Wow,” you rest your head on the stretcher, “this fucking sucks.”
There’s got to be a way out of this.
You check the tightness of your bindings.
They’re really fucking tight. You try to wiggle around, but you hear Jemma call out, “I’m not opposed to knocking you out again.”
“You need me awake for brain surgery,” you retort dryly.
“How did we get here?” You call out as you survey the room, looking for any nearby things that could be used like a weapon.
“We were friends,” you continue, spotting exactly what you needed in the lab coat of Jemma walking towards you.
A pen.
It’ll do.
You’ll provoke her, cause her to get close and steal it.
Easy.
Before you can even speak, you hear the tell tale sound of a portal opening.
“Step away from Y/N,” Wanda commands through her accent, red wisps around her fingers.
Jemma puts her hands up and Wanda claps, causing Jemma to fall to the floor.
You feel your binds loosen as Wanda helps you to stand.
“You okay?” You lean into her and give a small nod.
“Good,” she begins to walk with you, “let’s go get Ikaris.”
-
Your retelling of your alleged abduction left out the fact that Wanda was there.
At all.
As far as anyone in the conference room was concerned, she hasn’t left the Sanctum. Ikaris didn’t need an explanation of why you wanted that information to not be public, and you were thankful.
After your explanation, Sam seemed to have calmed down considerably.
Everyone around the table was silent, you felt Ikaris squeeze your hand under the table.
-
You power down the quinjet, but don’t make a move to get up. You see Ikaris eyes on you, but he lets you sit in silence for a moment.
“We did what we had to,” he reminds you gently, before standing up.
You stay silent, but get up as well.
“I know,” you finally speak, grabbing his hand as you make your way down the ramp.
“I just want to know why,” you say, more quiet as you start to see the team approach you.
-
“So,” Bucky lifts his handgun, pointing it at Fitzs’ head boredly, “spill why you stole Y/N’s memories,” he cocks the gun, “now.”
“No,” Fitz says immediately, “so shoot.”
“We can’t,” Jemma whispers, a small tear leaking out of her eye, “I’m sorry.”
You look to Ikaris, and then to Bucky, who’s already looking at you with a raised eyebrow. With a small shake of your head, he’s lowering the gun.
“They’ll reconsider,” You assure the group, “they’ll have to.”
“Let’s go,” Ikaris’ hand gently grabs your shoulder.
You slowly stand, letting Ikaris guide you out of the room.
“No torture Barnes,” you call out, before turning the corner towards your room.
-

Golden Light & Shields Chapter 5
Ikaris x Male Reader
A/N: Sorry for the late update. School’s a bitch.
All the Eternals, minus Makkari, Karun, and Y/N, walk through the deserts of Iraq with the intended destination of locating the Domo. They followed Phastos, as he had a tracking device that could locate their ship. Phastos and the others stop as they look at a digging site. The ground begins to shake and break apart as the things on top of the surface begin to cave in, but something rises from the dust and causes a whirlwind of dirt to go flying everywhere. Karun is filming with a camera as he witnesses the incredible sight. “The Domo. Wow.”The star-ship rises out of the dirt trench and into the air. This was so cool. Like the Helicarrier, or a Quinjet.
“How are we gonna get up there?” Y/N asked, looking down into the trench.
Ikaris smiled. “Like this.”
He swept Y/N off his feet and began to float in the air as he headed towards an opening in the ship. Once Ikaris safety put Y/N back on his feet; he went down and one by one brought everyone onto the ship until they were all together.
Karun was in front of them videotaping as Kingo talked in an eerie voice. “A foreboding atmosphere fills the air. An eerie stillness chokes our lungs.”
Phastos frowns. “What are you doing? You know you’re creeping us out. You know that, right?”
“Yeah, Kingo. This is a documentary. Not a horror movie,” Y/N said.
There is a loud popping noise as Phastos jumps and screams. “Oh! Oh, God!” He looks at Thena. “Stay calm, T, please!” They all look down and see Thena stepped on a bag of chips. Y/N giggles. Phastos picks up the bag and chuckles nervously. “Chips. It’s just chips.”
Kingo looks at the camera. “As you can see, being an Eternal does not preclude you from having human emotions such as cowardice.”
They walk inside the main room and see it’s littered with different items from across the world. It’s actually kind of cool. “What has she done? Is that… a sarcophagus in my lab?” Phastos asks, heading to his lab. They all look around as Kingo introduces a woman sitting on a throne, reading a book. “This is Makkari. Or should I say Miss Havisham? None of us have seen her for centuries.”
Makkari set her book down and smiled. She talks to them in sign language. “Ready to go home?”
“Hmm.”
Phastos is working a big construct as images flash in the air as he works on a plan to deal with Tiamut. Thena grabs a sword, swings it, knocking a suit of armor helmet to the side.
“Is that the Ebony Blade?” Sprite asks Thena as she puts down a scroll.
“Excalibur,” Thena smiles. She swings it and makes a clean cut through the air.
“Arthur always did have a crush on you,” Gilgamesh said.
Kingo and Makkari are signing to each. “So you mean… I’ve been waiting for centuries to go back to Olympia, and now you’re telling me… it doesn’t exist?” Makkari asks.
“That, and the world is ending,” Kingo signs back.
“At last my boredom is ending.”
“Have you seen my movies?” Kingo asks her.
Makkari frowns. “I don’t have a DVD player.”
“DVD? It’s all about streaming now. You know, what you need is a Kindle,” Kingo says. “Do you know what that is? It’s like a… You know, I just realized that if you don’t know what an iPad is, there’s almost no way to explain it.”
Ikaris, Y/N, and Druig are digging through the different items. Druig finds a box of Twinkies and Ikaris finds the Emerald Tablet. They both look at each other, then at the item in the other person’s hands. They both want what the other person has. They trade items and glare at one another as Ikaris opens the box and Druig looks at the tablet. Y/N chuckles. “Boys, play nice.”
“Do you want one, Duckling?” Ikaris asks Y/N.
Y/N takes the wrapped sponge cake and unwraps it and takes a bite of the creamy deliciousness. “So good.”
“I bet that’s not the only thing you’d love to put in your mouth,” Druig smirks.
“Shut it, ya dobber,” Ikaris says.
Makkari looks at Ikaris, Druig, and Y/N. She points to the young hero. “Who’s that?” She asks Kingo.
“That is Y/N Maximoff. Ikaris’s superhero boyfriend,” Kingo signs back.
“Boyfriend? Ikaris?” Makkari signs, a shocked look on her face.
“Right? I was shocked too. Because I never thought the Boss would be interested in men, but you know me, no judgment,” Kingo rants.
Druig comes up to them holding the Emerald Tablet, a smirk on his lips. “So, how did you end up scoring this…” he shows Makkari the tablet as she tries to grab it from him, but he pulls the tablet back. “Emerald Tablet, my beautiful, beautiful Makkari?” She snatched the tablet out of Druig’s hands.
“Did you miss me?” Druig signs to her. Makkari smiles.
“I’m sorry. What are we watching? Because this…” Phastos signs to Makkari. “Are you two…”
“Is this new?” Kingo asks. “Because I hate it.”
“Oh, come on, you guys. I think it’s sweet,” Y/N says. “It proves Druig does have a heart after all.” Druig glares at Y/N.
Y/N turns to Makkari and signs to the deaf Eternal. “Ikaris says you’re fast. So are my brother and I. We should have a race sometime.”
Makkari is shocked at first, but smiles. “Sounds like fun, but promise me you won’t cry when you lose.”
“I promise,” Y/N smiled.
“I didn’t know you knew sign language, Duckling,” Ikaris said.
“Clint taught me.”
“Phastos, I need to control the mind of a Celestial,” Druig says.
“Okay, get ready for it,” Phastos says and signs. He puts an image on the screen for everyone to see.
“Bracelets?” Kingo asks. “You made us bracelets?”
“So, here’s a little Celestial 101.Celestials are the most powerful energy generators in the universe. When Arishem made us, he imbued us with infinite cosmic energy to keep our bodies regenerating,” Phastos says. “The bracelets, in theory, shut down our regeneration process. And once that happens, our bodies accumulate extra cosmic energy.”
“What for?” Sersi asks.
“Well, if the Deviants can absorb our energy, what if we can absorb each other’s energy as well?” Phastos looked around. “If I can find a way to connect us all, one of us could become immensely powerful, pulling the accumulated energy from the rest, forming… a Uni-Mind.”
There’s a giant brain with mini versions of the Eternals combining energies together, an image to emphasize the point. Phastos looks at everyone with a smile on his face, proud of what he’s just announced. Everyone is silent. Phastos frowns. “Uni” meaning “one,” “mind” meaning “mind.”
“Oh, no, we heard you the first time,” Kingo said.
“Terrible name,” Sprite says.
“We’ll brainstorm… Brainstorm! That’s a way better name!” Kingo smiles.
“No, I invented it, so I’m calling it whatever I want,” Phastos says.
Y/N looked at the images. “So, you want everyone to combine their cosmic energy and transfer it to one of you to amplify your own abilities?”
“Exactly. See, someone gets it,” Phastos says.
“Like my friend, Carol, who, when she absorbs enough energy, enters a ‘binary form’ that makes her way more powerful. Powerful enough to go toe to toe with Thanos and take a punch from the power stone,” Y/N said.
“So suppose Druig can, say… put Tiamut to sleep. Then what?” Makkari asks.
“We find humans a new home on another planet,” Sersi said.
“Are we building a big ship, too? Take a pair of each animal?” Sprite sarcastically says.
“Well, you know what’s never saved the planet? Your sarcasm,” Phastos says.
“Space colonization could take decades,” Sprite protests.
“It can happen quickly with our help,” Sersi said.
“What if we end up accidentally killing Tiamut? We could be responsible for billions of lives not being created across the universe,” Kingo looks at Ikaris. “Boss, am I right?”
“Say something, Ikaris,” Sprite demands. “You don’t think we should be doing this.”
They all look at Ikaris expectantly. Ajak knows that look. The weight of pressure about making the hard decisions. She's had to do that for centuries now, and it never gets any easier.
“Why are you all looking at me? Ajak is still here, she’s still the leader,” Ikaris says.
“Forget that. You’re the strongest. You should be making this decision,” Sprite says.
“Hey, I'm deeply hurt, Sprite,” Gilgamesh says.
Ikaris is silent. Sprite rolls her eyes. “Fine. Just keep lying to yourself.” she storms off.
“Sprite,” Y/N calls.
Ikaris begins to walk away as well. “Okay, this is not…” Phastos starts as Kingo and Y/N follow after Ikaris. “Ikaris.”
“Don’t run after him. Kingo, Y/N, I… You guys.”
Y/N and Kingo follow Ikaris down the hall. “Hey. Don’t sweat it. Sprite’s always cranky. I used to hear her complaining even when she wasn’t there,” Kingo says.
“I’m okay, Kingo,” Ikaris says.
“You don't seem fine,” Y/N noted.
“If you think we should do this, I trust you. I will follow you to the end, like I always have,” Kingo said.
“What did you say?” Ikaris eyed Kingo.
“I will follow you to the end, like I always have, Kingo repeats.
“I’m not who you think I am,” Ikaris says, walking away from Y/N and Kingo.
Y/N sighed. “I'll go talk to him.” He follows after Ikaris, who flies off the ship and to the ground below. Y/N sighed again. How was he supposed to get down?
…
Y/N floated down towards the modern-day version of Babylon. Ikaris was standing in the middle of rocky hills as Y/N walked towards him, sand on his shoes. “I couldn't get down. I thought about throwing myself off the ship and creating a crater in the process,” but thank God for telekinesis,” Y/N smiled.
“How'd you find me?”
“I know a thing or two about tracking, and I saw you fly in this direction.”
“I’ve thought about this place a lot. Amazing how things change over time,” Ikaris looks around.
“Maybe you've changed. And maybe that's not such a bad thing,” Y/N said.
“You know, I’ve always thought of the Celestials like the ocean. They give life and they take life away without bias,” Ikaris looked at Y/N. “If they were gone, this universe would eventually end. What we’re trying to do is free humanity from the natural order of things.”
“It’s not natural to allow all life on an entire planet to be destroyed, but that's not what's really bothering you, is it?” Y/N said.
Ikaris sighed. “Just now, everyone was turning to me for answers and reassurance. And I couldn't give them that.” he looked at Y/N. “Why me? Ajak is still alive and should be making this call, not me.”
“It's okay to be afraid. It's a human emotion.”
“I'm not human, remember?”
“Yes you are. To me you are.”
Y/N put a hand to Ikaris's chest. “Feel that? My hand on your beating heart?” Y/N asked. Ikaris nodded his head.
“That's why everyone turned to you today. It's because they look up to you. They value your advice and know your heart is pure and strong enough to make this decision,” Y/N said.
“What if I'm wrong, Y/N?” Ikaris asked him. “What if we make things worse instead of better?”
“They couldn't get much worse than they already are, Iceberg,” Y/N reminds him. “If things do indeed get worse, then we'll deal with it. I've faced the impossible before and won. This time won't be any different.”
“Are you willing to bet our lives on that?”
“Are you willing not to?”
“So, you’d be willing to move to a new planet if it came down to it?” Ikaris looked down at Y/N.
“Yeah, I would. As long as you, my family, and friends are there by my side. Also, if this new planet has a (favorite restaurant or fast-food joint).”
Ikaris smiled. “I’m in love with you, Duckling. I’m grateful for the life I’ve lived with you.”
“Me too, Iceberg. I’ve wanted to be happy for so long and now I am. I'm not giving that up without a fight,” Y/N says.
“Do you really think you could be happy with me? An Eternal who never grows old?” Ikaris said.
“Always,” Y/N leans up and kisses Ikaris on the lips. Y/N feels Ikaris' warmth as a vision enters his mind, making him gasp. Y/N sees Ikaris, but it's not his Ikaris. He had no idea how he knew that or that this was on another Earth in another dimension, but he just knew. The events were happening just like they are now. The only difference is that Ikaris betrayed his friends, killed Ajak in the name of Arishem. There was no Y/N on this planet, and even if there were, it was too late.
Y/N gasps again as the vision leaves him. Ikaris looks at him, concerned. “What’s wrong Duckling? What happened?”
Y/N licks his lips and tries to process everything he just saw. Ikaris was a traitor to his friends. It wasn't possible. “I-I saw you. In another universe and you didn't want to stop the Emergence, but let it happen. You killed Ajak and betrayed the others.”
Ikaris was silent. A shocked look on his face. “I swear I would never—”
“—I know Ikaris. I'm not sure why I saw that vision. Maybe it's one of my new powers? To see the same events, but on different earths?”
“What kind of power is that?”
“Dr. Strange once used the time stone and astral projection to see different possible futures. Maybe it's like that,” Y/N said.
“Maybe,” Ikaris said.
“Hey, come on. I know you’re no Benedict Arnold.”
“Why would you see that? See me?” Ikaris asked.
“Maybe it's a clue.” Y/N said. “I think it's a clue on how to use the Uni-Mind. We should tell the others, because I have an idea.” Y/N began to walk in the direction of the ship.
“Y/N?” Ikaris called.
Y/N turned to him. “Yes?”
“Nothing,” Ikaris said as he followed Y/N, putting the ring back in his pocket.
They head back to the ship and find Ajak hunched over. They rush to her. “What's wrong with her?”
“It’s started. The Emergence has commenced,” Ajak says.
“Oh, no. My God.”
“What about the Uni-Mind?”
“I haven’t figured out a way to connect us, but I’m close. I’m very, very close,” Phastos said.
“How much longer?” Sersi asks.
“I don’t know, Sersi!” Phastos says.
Phastos grabs a device and hands it to Makkari. “Find the point of emergence.” She races off.
Druig and Thena are looking at a painting. “You always knew the end was coming. It must be a relief.” Druig looks at her.
“That Deviant is still tracking us,” Thena says.
“Revenge won’t bring peace for you, Thena.”
“But killing it might,” she smiles.
Ikaris grabs Y/N’s hand and leads him to another room in the Domo. It’s an empty room with a hologram of Arishem. Y/N frowns as he looks at Ikaris. “Where are we, Iceberg?”
Ikaris smiles. “Somewhere special.”
“If this is your way of getting a quickie before battle, then you can forget it,” Y/N said.
“That is the last thing on my mind right now, Duckling. Though, I do prefer to do it in the sands of Babylon,” Ikaris smiled.
The Eternal walked towards a wall and put his back flat against it. Before Y/N could ask what he was up to, there was a symbol on the wall that flashed as golden wires began to come out and inched towards Ikaris as they created his superhero costume over his clothes. His costume was blue with golden accents of different symbols on the suit, mixed together with armor. Ikaris stepped away from the wall and smirked at Y/N. “So, what do you think?” He asked, referring to his suit.
Y/N smiled. “It’s awesome, Iceberg. Really cool.”
“Thank you. I think we just might have to get you one, too. If you’re going to officially join the team,” Ikaris said.
“Wait? You want me to join your team?” Y/N asks.
“Of course, you’ve already proven you can handle Deviants. And everyone else would agree with me by asking if you’d like to be a part of the Eternals?”
Y/N was shocked, but also honored that these people he only just met a few days ago wanted him to be a part of them. “I’d love too, Ikaris.”
“Well, in that case. Right this way.” Ikaris led Y/N to his wall symbol as Y/N put his back to just like Ikaris had. The wires began to descend on Y/N as they began to create a suit of armor over his original hero costume. They went down his arms and legs as they created a suit similar to Ikaris’s, except Y/N’s was a light blue with red symbols, boots and fingerless gloves. Y/N looked down at his new suit before looking up at Ikaris with a smirk. “What? No cape?”
“Look again, Duckling.” Ikaris pointed behind Y/N’s back. A yellow cape formed from his shoulders down his back, past his calves. “This is so cool!” Ikaris smiled at his boyfriend’s enthusiasm. “Thor, eat your heart out.”
….
Y/N and Ikaris walk back into the room as the others discuss their plan of action. They look at Y/N and Ikaris in costume. Ready for action.
“Nice suit, Y/N,” Kingo says. “You did a great job Boss.”
Y/N blushed. “Thank you.”
“So where are we with the Uni-Mind? Any progress?” Ikaris asks.
“No. I can’t seem to make it work,” Phastos says.
“It’s okay, Phastos. I think I have an idea of how to make it work,” Y/N tells him.
“How?” Ajak asks.
“With the sphere inside you,” Y/N points to Ajak’s chest. “The sphere inside you lets you connect with Arishem, right?”
“Yes, that's correct.”
“Well, what if Phastos could take it out of you and reverse engineer it and create a connection between all of you instead?”
“And that could theoretically create the Uni-Mind. Y/N, that's brilliant!” Phastos said.
“Great.”
“But umm, I have to take it out of Ajak to use it.”
Ajak steps forward. “Do it then.”
“Okay.” Phastos’s hands glow as he uses his cosmic powers to try and pull the sphere out of Ajak safely.
“Don't kill her,” Thena says.
“Thena…”
“Do it, Phastos,” Ajak says.
Phastos concentrates as he tugs at the sphere inside Ajak and brings it forward. Her neck glows and a golden sphere comes out and levitates itself to Phastos.
“Will it work?” Sersi asks as Phastos breaks the shell covering the energy stone inside. “It has to.” Phastos uses the power from Ajak’s sphere and uses it to make the bracelets for the Uni-Mind. Taking out pieces he doesn't need until it's ready to go. Phastos smiles at his finished invention.
The other Eternals prepare for battle as they get their armored suits on. Even Sprite comes back from her little temper tantrum. They are all wearing the bracelet that Phastos made, connecting them together. Makkari found the point of the Emergence. Tiamut was located in an active volcano in the Indian Ocean.
The Domo flew towards the volcano as the Eternals and Y/N knew their mission. The Domo landed on the ground as Y/N, Ikaris, Sersi, Makkari, and Druig got off. The others stayed behind in the Domo but would come help if needed. Makkari and Y/N used their speed to zoom themselves and the others close enough for the Uni-Mind to work, but not close to the volcano.
“It’s time to put a god to sleep,” Sersi said.
Y/N looked at Druig. “Are you ready for this?”
Druig looks at Y/N. A frown on his face, but something gentle in his eyes. “When I die, you stay away from my funeral.”
“Deal,” Y/N chuckles.
Druig turns the bracelet on his wrist and activates it as it spins and so do Sersi's, Ikaris’s, and Makkari’s. Sersi, Ikaris, and Makkari float in the air as their energy is transferred to Druig and so is everyone else's. The power of all Eternals combined into one. It's an incredible sight. Druig focuses on putting Tiamut to sleep and it works. The active volcano begins to quiet down as the lava recedes back into the volcano. Y/N is so invested in what’s happening with the volcano that he doesn't see the humanity-Deviant charging towards him until he feels it slam a cosmic fist into his body. Y/N flies back and rolls on the ground, wondering what the hell just hit him. The young Avenger looks up and sees it’s the Deviant. The creature’s tendrils shootout and latch onto Druig, absorbing his power. It bites on Druig’s neck, who groans as his energy is being drained and in pain.
“No!” Y/N cries as he runs at the Deviant and two go rolling on the ground as Y/N slams into him. The others begin to awaken from their broken connection as Makkari notices Druig on the ground and rushes to him. Ikaris and Sersi see Y/N fighting the head Deviant as the creature latches its tentacles on Y/N. Wrapping around his arms and legs, making it impossible to move. Y/N struggles to break free. Ikaris flies forward and slams into the Deviant as he flies them up into the air, punches thrown back and forth as the two struggle against each other, as they turn down into a nosedive, heading towards the ground.
“Ikaris!” Y/N calls looking up at them falling towards the ground, near the volcano. He runs after them, keeping his eyes on the sky and follows over to the place that they landed at. Y/N looks down at the crater they made, but there's no sign of Ikaris. Y/N scans the area and sees there's a cave. The sound of fighting, optical blasts, grunting, and screaming can be heard, echoing through the walls of the cave. Then there's silence. Y/N rushes over and just stops at the entrance of the cave. He peers into the dark cave.
“Iceberg! Are you okay?” Y/N calls out as his voice echoes. No answer. Y/N is about to walk inside when something slams into him and pushes him back. Y/N realized its laser vision. Ikaris comes out of the cave, eyes glowing gold as he looks at Y/N and blasts him again. Y/N is pushed back as his body takes in the cosmic energy. Y/N’s eyes flash blue as he creates a shield, blocking the attack. “Iceberg? What are you doing?”
The Deviant comes out of the cave and looks at Y/N with an eerie smile on its face. “That's enough, Ikaris. For now.” Ikaris obeyed like a good dog and stopped his attack on Y/N.
“What did you do to him?” Y/N demands.
The Deviant smiled again. “I've done nothing but show Ikaris, who’s truly in charge here.”
“You’re controlling him?” Y/N asked.
“Yes, I am. The most powerful Eternal at my beckoned call,” the Deviant said, sounding like Pennywise the Dancing Clown. “I wanted to control all their minds, but I only took enough energy to control one Eternal.”
“Why are you doing this?” Y/N said. “The world is about to end and we almost stopped it until you ruined it.”
“I was trapped in ice for centuries as your boyfriend and his fellow Eternals killed my kind. I shall have retribution for their sins. They’ll learn what it’s like to be hunted down like wild animals. You won't stop me, Y/N.”
“Wanna bet?” Y/N asked, a red orb in his hand.
“Now, now, no need for that. Let's have a civilized chat. You may call me Kro.”
“I prefer to call you Pennywise.”
“I like you. You have spirit.” Kro turned to Ikaris. “Ikaris, kill your fellow Eternals, starting with the one who’s power I just absorbed. Don’t stop until they’re all dead.” Ikaris nodded and flew in the direction of Druig and the others.
“I’m not gonna let you hurt anyone else,” Y/N said.
“Oh, it’s not me that humanity should fear,” Kro said. “They should fear you and your sister, Wanda. Harbingers of Chaos.”
“How did you know—”
“—I know many things about you, Y/N. I absorbed your energy as well, remember?” Kro looked at Y/N eyes slightly red. “You are part mind singularity. And something else entirely, but still dangerous.”
“Want me to show you just how dangerous I can be?” Y/N asked.
“You and I are a lot alike, Y/N,” Kro said.
“I am nothing like you,” Y/N protested.
“But you are. Whether you want to admit it or not, you and I take power from those undeserving of it. Just like your friends Ajak, Gilgamesh, and Druig.”
“I don’t kill those I absorb energy from. You see, the difference between you and me is that you kill them on purpose,” Y/N said.
“Survival of the fittest.”
“Yeah, well, this time. I’m the apex predator. You're the prey,” Y/N’s hands glowed.
“We shall see about that.” Kro lifted a hand and a red ball of energy came out of it as he pulled Y/N towards him with telekinesis. The Deviant clasped his tendrils onto Y/N’s body and absorbed the energy inside his body.
“Yes! I want all of it, Y/N!” Kro began to glow with Y/N’s power. The young Maximoff could feel his powers being siphoned away from him. Y/N glanced up and saw the Deviant growing and changing with his powers. If he didn't do something, then Kro would be too powerful to stop. Y/N could feel that spark of his power inside himself. The part of himself he would never use, but needed at this moment. He latched onto it. He looked at Kro. “You want my power? Take it! I don't want it.” He poured out everything he had into this effort as Kro relished in his newly acquired powers. “There's more. I want it all.”
“Be careful what you wish for, Kro. You just might get it,” Y/N said as his eyes flashed red as he held out his hands and used his powers, and pulled back the energy Kro stole from him. Kro groaned as all the energy he had just absorbed was taken from him. Y/N used his telekinesis and freed himself from Kro’s tentacles.
The leader of the Deviants looked at Y/N, shocked. “How did you do that?”
“It's my power, Pennywise. Whether I want it or not, it's mine and I won't let you use it to hurt anyone,” Y/N used the energy he took back and concentrated it into a blast of power as he blasted Kro back and onto the floor. Kro groaned from the blast as he looked up as Y/N walked towards him, looking down. “Don't worry, Kro. I won't kill you. That's reserved for someone else.”
With that said, Y/N speeded off after Ikaris and the others as he arrived just in time to see Ikaris grab Druig from the ground by his neck. “I should’ve done this five centuries ago.” He lifted them both in the air as he let Druig go and blasted him with his optical vision to the ground below them. Makkari let out a wail as Druig hit the ground and groaned from the blasts being buried underneath the ground. Ikaris turned and set his sights on the Domo. He flew towards it.
“Iceberg, no!” Y/N cried out as Ikaris’s lasers tore through the underside of the ship, ripping through it easily. He blasted the top part as well as the ship began to fall down and headed towards the ground of the volcano. Sersi held out her hands defensively at the oncoming ship. Makkari used her speed to move her out of the way as Y/N held out his hands in front of him as the ship slammed into him, as he tried to slow it down. Dirt was flying everywhere as Y/N’s feet dug into the dirt of the ashy ground. Y/N grunted as he pushed back, trying to put the Domo to a stop.
When the ship finally stopped, Y/N sighed with relief as Makkari ran inside the Domo and brought everyone out. One by one. Ikaris floated down to the ground. “Druig’s gone. It’s over.”
“Boss, what are you doing?” Kingo asked.
“Ikaris attacked Druig,” Sersi said.
“Hold on Sersi, it wasn't his fault—”
Y/N was interrupted from explaining as Makkari glared at Ikaris and super sped towards him and began to knock him into some rocks. “Makkari, stop!” Y/N chased after them. Ikaris tried to blast her as she slammed him into a wall, pushing his head against it. Ikaris grabbed her arm and threw her off him. Just as she was about to run at him again, Y/N got in between them. He looked at the speedster Eternal and signed to her what was going on. “Ikaris is being mind-controlled by a Deviant. Take Ajak and Kingo and find Druig. Tell Sersi and Phastos to find another way to stop the Emergence. The Deviant is on the west side of the volcano. Thena and Gilgamesh will be happy about that. Bring Sprite to me.”
Makkari nodded and ran back to the others to explain everything Y/N had just told her. Y/N turned to his boyfriend, who glared at him. His blue eyes that Y/N loved so much looked so cold and unfeeling at the moment. “Iceberg. It’s me. It’s Y/N. You don’t have to do this.”
“I know I don’t have to. I want to,” Ikaris said.
“You don’t want to hurt your family. Or me,” Y/N said.
“You’re wrong about that one, Y/N. I do want to hurt you.” Ikaris rose in the air, eyes glowing as he flew towards Y/N. Y/N charged forward as well. Ikaris came down as Y/N dodged his crashing fist. The ground cracked underneath it. He turned to Y/N and attacked him as the younger man tried to block and dodge his attacks. Y/N avoided most of the attacks, but Ikaris got a good hit and punched him in the face. Y/N staggered back as Ikaris grabbed him by the throat. Y/N groaned as Ikaris’s hand closed around his throat. He slammed his fist down on Ikaris’s arm as he let go of Y/N and the young hero slammed his fist into Ikaris’s chest, pushing him back. Ikaris smirked at Y/N. “That's it, Y/N. Come on.” He grabbed Y/N and slammed him against the rocky wall behind them. “Let go, Y/N. Show me what you can really do.”
Everything inside Y/N was urging him to fight back. To shove Ikaris off him and show him what he could really do, but he wouldn't do it. He wasn't going to lose control or hurt Ikaris.
“Don't hold back. Give me all that you have.”
“No. I won't do it,” Y/N said.
“Do it!”
“No, I won’t. I won’t hurt you, Ikaris.”
“Fine, I'll just make you then,” Ikaris said as he rained punches down on Y/N. Y/N tried to hold back as everything in his body was telling to let go. Give into his power. Defend himself. “Stop.” Y/N pleaded. Ikaris wasn’t listening to him as he kept up his attack. Y/N’s eyes flashed red as his voice boomed. “ENOUGH!” Y/N pushed Ikaris back with a telekinetic blast, sending the Eternal sprawling to ground, hard. When Y/N realized what he did; he was horrified. “Ikaris! I’m sorry I didn’t mean to—”
That's when the Volcano erupted.
….
Lava flowed from the sides of the volcano as a debris called tephra rained from the skies. The Eternals prepared to defend themselves. Thena cut through a molten rock with her sword. Phastos created some weapons and blasted the rocks. Ajak, Sprite, and Makkari stood behind Kingo and Gilgamesh as they blasted and punched the falling debris. Sersi turned a rock into some birds. Sersi looked at the ground and then at the volcano. She had to do something. She had to try and stop this. “We do as Y/N said.” She begins walking towards the volcano.
“Phastos. I have to try and stop this. I need to get closer to Tiamut,” she said. Phastos put a hand on her shoulder. “Let's go. I've got you.” They ran towards the volcano.
Gilgamesh looked at Thena. “Y/N said the Deviant is in a cave on the west side of the volcano. What do you say, Thena?”
Thena smiled as she formed a spear and shield. “Let's go hunting then.”
Ajak looked at Makkari as she signed to her. “Take Sprite to Y/N and come back and we'll find Druig. Together.” Makkari nodded as she grabbed a hold of Sprite and super sped her to Y/N and Ikaris, then came back to get Ajak and Kingo and ran them in the direction Druig crashed in.
Ikaris blasted the incoming rocks with his lasers as Y/N punched them or moved them out of the way. Y/N looked at Ikaris. “You have to stop, Iceberg. If you don't, then everyone on this planet will die.”
“If this world ends so a Celestial can rise, then I support Arishem’s design,” Ikaris said.
“This isn't you talking. It's the Deviant.”
“Y/N!” the Avenger turned to see Sprite standing there. Ikaris looked at Sprite as well and smiled. It was a manic one. “Sprite, so glad you could join the party. I wanted to kill Phastos next, but you'll do.” Ikaris fires his optical beams at her as Y/N ran in front of her and put up a shield. Both opposing forces pushed back and forth.
“How do we break the Deviant’s hold on Ikaris?” Sprite asked.
“If Gilgamesh and Thena can kill it first, then Ikaris will be free, but if they can't in time, we have to find another way until they do,” Y/N said. “I have an idea, Sprite. It's a crazy one, but it just might work.”
“What is it?”
Ikaris stopped his attack as Y/N ran up to him and turned back to Sprite as a wave of dirt blinded Ikaris for a moment. Y/N told Sprite about his plan as she looked at him shocked.
Ikaris glared at them when the dirt had cleared. “I'm going to enjoy killing you both.”
Y/N ran towards Ikaris, fist raised as he threw a punch. A punch Y/N knew he would catch. Ikaris caught Y/N’s fist with his palm. He pushed his palm down on Y/N’s fist, cracking his knuckles as he did. Ikaris turned Y/N around and put him in a headlock.
Thena and Gilgamesh walked into the cave Y/N said, near the ocean. It was really quiet inside. The only sounds they could hear were their breathing and the sound of their feet walking on the ground and the sound of the wind. Thena had her weapons raised, ready to fight. Gilgamesh looked at her and smiled. “Remember when we journeyed with Jason and the Argonauts?”
“I remember it well. The Deviants that looked like harpies and one was a giant Kraken.”
“Good times,” Gilgamesh chuckles. He looked at Thena. “Stay here. Say it.”
“Not this time, old friend,” Thena said.
That’s when they heard an eerie voice whisper. “Thena.” The warrior Eternal looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. “Oh, you’ve changed. You’re broken. Damaged. Useless. You can’t protect any of them.”
“Come out and show yourself, you bastard!” Gilgamesh said.
“Oh, Gilgamesh. You’re still alive? Looks like when I kill again, this time I’ll make sure it sticks, Kro said.
Thena sensed the Deviant as she formed a shield, just as Kro tried to punch Gilgamesh with his own cosmic fist. She let out a yell as she swiped at the Deviant with her sword as Gilgamesh attacked with his fists.
“Iceberg, I know you’re in there,” Y/N said as Ikaris’s arm drew tighter around his neck. The other one held his head in place. He finally understood the vision he had earlier today. It wasn’t about finding out how to activate the Uni-Mind. It was to warn Y/N about Ikaris. His vision had shown Ikaris from another universe betraying his friends. And his Ikaris from this universe, like it not, had done the same thing. The only difference was that Ikaris wasn’t doing this of his own free will. This was all Kro’s fault.
Almost like Ikaris was reading his mind; the Eternal leaned down and whispered harshly in Y/N’s ear. “When are you going to realize that this is all me, Y/N? You saw that vision of my counterpart. I’m just like him.”
“You’re nothing like him, Iceberg—”
“—Stop calling me that stupid nickname!” Ikaris roared. “I’ve always hated that nickname. And truth be told, Y/N. I hate you too.”
“You’re lying,” Y/N gasped out as a few tears slid down his face. Ikaris smirked as he could hear Y/N’s soft sobs and his body shook beneath him. “Am I? My life was perfect until you came and messed it all up, but now it doesn’t matter because I’m finally going to be rid of you. Once and for all.”
“Do what you want to me, but please don’t hurt the others, Ikaris. If you wanna hurt somebody, hurt me,” Y/N said.
“Oh, don’t worry, Y/N. I’m gonna kill them nice and slow. Too bad you won’t be around to see it,” Ikaris said.
“No matter what happens, Ikaris. Know that I’ll always love you. No matter what.”
“I’ll tell you a secret, Ducking,” Ikaris mocked the nickname he gave Y/N. “I never loved you. You were just a means to an end. I had an itch, and you scratched it,” Ikaris harshly said to the young Avenger. “I can't believe I wanted to ask you to marry me. It was always and always will be, Sersi.” With that said Ikaris’s eyes flashed gold as he used all his strength and snapped Y/N’s neck. A harsh boom echoed on the volcano as Y/N’s body fell to the ashy ground with a thud.
For a moment, all was quiet as Ikaris was breathing harshly. His eyes were still gold until they returned to their crystal blues. He looked down at Y/N’s unmoving body. It was done. Y/N Maximoff was dead, and Ikaris didn’t care one bit.

A Small Touch-Druig x Reader
Summary:You're one of the Eternals. After Thanos has been defeated you and you're family have to reunite after so many years, that also means seeing Druig again. But things won't be so easy for you since you both left things behind centuries ago when you harmed him.
(A/N: I actually wrote this before Eternals came out in theaters, so I'm not too fond of how I wrote now that I read it but oh well. I had to made a few adjustments since I just arrived from watching the movie and sorta based on Druig at first from the comics. Druig is definitely best boy and the most adorable of the team. I'm glad to see Barry Keoghan getting the recognition he deserves. There's minor spoilers! Nothing too major and certain people are alive.)
"We should grab something to eat! Catch up with everything you've missed out!"
"I really missed seeing you."
"Was this store here when I was around?"
I sat on top of a building and stared down at the crowds of people passing by minding their own business and looking around in wonder at being back. I smiled and stared down at them fascinated.
A recent disaster happened not long ago, there was a snap. Thanos won and wiped out half of humanity on Earth, The Avengers defeated the mad Titan but lost three brave heroes. I wanted to badly to join them, but we were forbidden to interfere.
We are The Eternals. We've lived for centuries, watching humanity first rise and staying back hidden from them. Our only job has been to keep a close eye on them and make sure nothing happens, everything must stay in line.
The reason why we couldn't join the Avengers has been a mystery to me. I don't have much contact with half of our team, the only ones I've spoken to are Ajak and Thena. They had to keep me still from going out and joining the Avengers.
There's quite a few of us around Earth. Thena and Ajak as I mentioned. Sersi, Ikaris, Gilgamesh, Sprite, Kingo, Phastos, Makkari and Druig.
We were all rather close but went on our separate ways. I of course blended in with the humans like the rest and had many careers in my life. From a teacher, to a comicbook writer, producer and so on. I decided to live mostly by myself for these last few centuries.
But these past few days I've felt something, like we're in danger. I got on my feet and carefully started walking above the roof and jumped down to the ground when no one was looking and began walking down the streets.
I adjusted my clothes and gloves and held onto my backpack and was off to find Ajak again. She'll know what it is that's happening. I do hope I am not mistaken.
*********
After many long hours on bus, I finally made it to Ajak's home. She was waiting for me outside. "You're the first to come." Is the first thing she says after looking at my tired face.
"It's been a long time since I've used my powers. Flight would've been nice to have." I say feeling jealous of Ikaris's powers.
Ajak looked over at me and smiled. "It's good to see you again. Come."
I followed into her home and tossed my backpack aside and stuffed my hands into my pockets. "Something's coming, (Y/N). I knew you could sense it."
I stayed quiet and stared at her when she came over and offered me a drink. "It's the Deviants."
I look at her surprised, hoping she's joking.
"The Deviants? You're kidding right?" I look at Ajak and see her giving me a serious look. "I am sure, (Y/N). It's time for a family reunion."
"I guess you're right. The Avengers are out for now, they are no match for the Deviants. Guess we need to kick some ass then."
Ajak gives me a smirk. "You what this means right?"
I shrug my shoulders, "That I need to start my training again."
Ajak shakes her head to the side. "We don't have much time left, I already contacted half of us. We'll go and search for the others. You are assigned to bring, Druig."
I frown and began to complain, "Seriously? Why him? We've never gotten along." I was starting to sound like a teenager.
There's no way I'm heading out to find him. He's the one who lives far away and he's an asshole. "You'll leave in an hour to bring him back." Was all that Ajak said and gave me a meal before I'd leave.
************
We made it to the Amazon. We walked through the many trees and arrived at a village, everyone here is being mind controlled. "Dime dónde está Druig." I spoke clearly to one of the villagers.
"(Y/N). Didn't expect to see you or the rest." I looked back and saw Druig coming out of his small home. I took in a breath I didn't know I was holding and put on a fake smile.
"Druig.. It's so nice to see you again." I could see that he's holding himself from saying something.
It's been so long since I've last seen him. How's it going and taller? More handsome? Quit it! I'm just here to save our planet and then I'm gone. "I see you are still controlling them like puppets." Once again I open my big mouth said something I would later regret.
"And this is why I left." I hear him say to himself but he no longer gets angry about it like he did at first many centuries ago.
For some reason seeing him again made me feel horrible. he was the first one of the Eternals to leave because of the humans starting up fights and him not being able to control them. We didn't always agree on things.
I can see why he left and I don't blame him, but without imperfections then what are we? I long for peace as much as he does but we can't control them.
"Ajak sent you all didn't she?"
"You aren't wrong..You look good." I struggled say those words but I knew I had to be strong and put my past feelings aside.
Druig stayed silent and continued having his hands behind his back. "You do too." He muttered lowly and gave me a small smirk.
**************
The rest of the Eternals and I were finally gathered. Everyone began to joke and talk about what heck they have done for the last couple of years, I continued to stay silent and continued glaring at Druig who was having a drink and smiling at Makkari who was sitting by his side.
"Hey, why the pouty face?"
I crossed my arms over chest and tried to ignore one of my siblings who began to tease me. "Leave me alone."
I bitterly tried to tell Kingo but knew he'd continue to tease me. "It's been so long since I last saw you and you still have that grouchy attitude."
"I'm not grouchy!" I hissed and saw him laughing and trying to grab me so he'd continue making fun of me.
"Leave them alone." Ajak smiled sincerely. I looked to my right and saw Druig making hand signs to Makkari explaining to her what was happening.
"Don't tell me you're still jealous." Kingo whispered to me. I tried swattinh him away and glared again.
"I think (Y/N) still is." Gilgamesh agreed drinking a glass of beer.
"I thought you were outside. When did you get back?" I ask since I swear he wasn't with us a minute ago.
"We were talking outside. Aren't you going to touch your dinner?" Phastos asked since he saw I had only eaten half of what was on my plate.
I grab the plate and push it away from me. "I've lost my appetite, I'll be outside." Without waiting to be questioned I decided to hurry and leave. I took a deep breath and felt at peace, it's too much for me.
Everyone is suddenly back and I no longer know how to act. It's one of the few reasons I distanced myself from them, I've never been good with words of opening up to myself. The first one who was open to me and showed their kindness was Druig.
I sat down on the wooden floor and looked outside at the dark sky, it's was dark yet very beautiful with tints of dark blue mixed with purple and the stars were brighter than usual. I hugged myself when I felt the cold breeze.
The door behind me opened so I glanced back and frowned to myself when I saw Druig standing by the door with his hands inside his pockets.
He said nothing until he reached to where I was and quickly sat down but remained a few inches away from me. "How've you been?"
Druig finally spoke to me since we had been avoiding each other, or more like I was the one avoiding him.
I glanced at him and our eyes met for a short moment. "Fine I guess."
He sighed and also looked up at the sky. "It's beautiful isn't it?" I hummed to myself and looked back up. It sure is.
I remained hugging myself and took another look at him and realized he had been looking at me. I felt my chest tighten. "There's no need to hide from me how you are feeling. Didn't take you for the jealous type either."
Now this made me blush. He chuckled when he saw my unexpected reaction which I poorly tried to hide. "W-Who would I be jealous, huh? You're just saying stupid things."
I tried to defend myself but unfortunately Druig knew too much about me, even after centuries of being apart, he still reads me like a book and knows me so well.
"Makkari. I've seen the way you look at her." He smirked just a little bit decided not to joke too much on it.
"You two are awfully close, huh? Congrats then." I shrug trying to play things off like I don't care. He does seem happy with her, they always look at one another and share smiles and hugs.
Hmm I don't remember the two of us being like that, honestly, it's been so long that I really don't remember much on the time we spent together. "It just feels weird, being with all of you."
"I know the feeling.. It's why we all took our own paths. Here." Druig began to move. I held my hands up ready to hit him if he were to do anything, instead he reached the jacket he had on and placed it on me.
It was warm. "You're shivering you might catch a cold." I held onto the fabric and felt my cheeks burning.
Druig smiles when he sees me holding onto his jacket, "Do you remember our first date?"
I shrugged my shoulders, "Not to be meaner than I already am, but I don't remember much."
"I figured." Druig spoke and frowned a bit. He smiled again and his blue eyes met mine. "Want to know what was the first thought I had when I first saw you?"
What was it? It never occurred to me that.
"How could a person be created to be so beautiful." That did it for me. My heart began to beat faster and I was thankful it was nighttime because I felt my entire face turning red.
"You haven't always been this mean, (Y/N). It only happened because of when you harmed me."
There's no need to remind me of it. I feel horrible. I looked at my glove covered hands. I don't remember for how long I've been covering my hands, whenever I touch someone they get hurt because of me.
"Hey, (Y/N). You can trust me I know that you can't harm me." I gasped when I realized how close he had gotten to me.
Druig held his hand out for me grab. "You won't harm me." He whispered. My hand began to shake, Druig pulled away quick before we could touch hands.
"The glove has to come off."
"But what if I-" I was about to complain some more but sighed. He's right. I got to trust him. I harmed him back in the day but I won't anymore. Depending on how I feel is how powerful I can get.
I took my glove off and very slowly and carefully tried to place my hand on Druig's. His pale hand reached to grab mine and nothing happened, my hands can have extreme electricity and I was surprised that nothing happened.
My eyes began to get a bit blurry, I couldn't stop smiling. It's been so long since I've touched someone without harming them
"See? You were just worked up back in the day. I do wish you would smile some more, I loved seeing you like this everyday."
Druig's words were only making me blush even more. I kept calm because I didn't want my powers to suddenly activate and hurt him again. I was still unsure on doing this, Druig instead kept on holding my hand.
"I did miss you living with me." He reminds me. I wasn't fond of him leaving and controlling humans to not fight or make war, but I did leave with him back then.
We lived so happy together despite our arguments every now and then. "I missed you ya know?" I spotted him smiling again.
"Quit saying those things." I teased back. He was after all the most romantic one back then. "Wouldn't you like for things to be the way they were?"
I smile and reached over and placed my other hand on top of his and looked into his eyes. "I would love that very much." This time instead of holding his hands I wrapped my arms around him and felt him hugging me back tightly.
"Just don't ever be afraid of using your powers, okay?" Druig pulled away and wiped my tears. I nodded my head and smiled again. I'll do my best to make him proud of me again.

like the gardens of babylon
Kingo x fem!reader
not my gif, credits to the owner.
English is not my first language, sorry for the mistakes but be nice about it!
Summary: The Eternals are regrouping after the attack of the deviant, and Kingo is scared of news about Ajak breaking his lover's heart.
Warnings: none (unless Taylor Swift lyrics influencing the writing consists in a warning to you) (oh, and maybe a lil bit of implied smut??? seggsy)
Word Count: 2.1K
-
The second he laid his eyes on you, Kingo felt like he learned how to breathe all over again. Something in his chest spread warmth to all his body. It was like all his youth found home in him again, after spending an eternity feeling like the end was near.
You looked exactly like the day he left you. Young and beautiful.
Alive.
You looked like all those things he wasn’t anymore.
Yes. It was dumb for him to think that since he was an Eternal, being young and beautiful would consist of a challenge for him.
But feeling alive was whole other story.
His acting was a form of living. He lived through his character’s stories. For months he made himself at home in somebody else’s wishes, ambitions and lust. It was like shutting himself off so his own feelings wouldn’t get in the way of his days.
He chose heroes. Gigantic and admirable men who didn’t fear anything and were always loved by people. Always loved back by the person they cared deeply about.
Heroes like Gilgamesh, like his brother Ikaris.
But when the cameras stopped rolling and nobody was around him, everything would go back to being cold and dead.
Now, looking at you, he wondered if you felt the same way about performing. If the noise of thousands of people screaming back the lyrics you wrote was your own way to find some kind of solace in this unbearable existence.
You looked like you owned the world up on that stage.
Kingo thought that maybe you did, you owned him and his melancholic heart for centuries… maybe your protective nature allowed you to put the whole world under your wing somehow.
Back in the day that’s how he used to define you: the protective Eternal, the one who watched over all of them. You made Ajak’s work so easy. Never letting anyone get hurt on the battlefield, your shields made of cosmic energy always around your family, securing them away from any danger the deviants might bring their way.
The crowd screamed back the last lyric to the verse when you let your voice drop, only to test how much noise the people would make on your command. The results didn’t disappoint you, he knew it by your smile.
“I wish I came to one of these under better circumstances” Sprite at his right screamed over the noise.
“Wait till she sees us, she’s going to be so happy” Sersi screamed right back to her.
“It’s a shame that we’ll break her heart with the news” Ikaris said so only Kingo could hear him. His brother rested one hand on Kingo’s shoulder and squeezed it.
They looked at each other for a moment, but Kingo brought his eyes back at your moving figure entertaining the public.
“Don’t worry, brother, you won’t have to tell her”
The loyal soldier Ikaris. Always so aware of other people’s feelings.
Telling you about Ajak’s death was the last of Kingo’s wishes.
It was long after the concert ended that you reunited with your fellow Eternals. You looked radiant, happier than ever.
Kingo wondered how much of that happiness was caused by you being away from all of them.
“Well, finally someone showed up” you said, huge smile on your face and opening your arms so Ikaris could get between them “I was about to make Druig control all of your minds so you could come and see me. How many times I sent the tickets to you guys?”
Ikaris squeezed you tightly, a warm smile on his face. His sisters were always his weak spot, Kingo remembered.
Sprite ran up to you two and was next on the hug. Sersi smiled at you and revealed: “Hey, I was there for your last concert back in London”.
“I wasn’t complaining about you, my beautiful sister”
And then your eyes were on him “Hello, Kingo”
Kingo felt his heart skip a beat and his stomach turn on itself. He raised a hand and did an awkward shake with it, smiling at you with warm spreading all over his face.
But before he could speak, a small figure with a handy on hand got in front of him and all over your face “Hello, miss. It is a pleasure to meet you, my name is Karun Patel and I’m a huge fan of yours. Sir Kingo always makes me turn down the invitation to your concerts, but today’s performance was incredible, miss”
“Oh, Karun” you said, looking at him sweetly “I’m happy you liked it… I guess that you’re the one who’s sending all the flowers on Kingo’s behalf”
“Oh, yes, yes, miss” Karun nodded “Sir Kingo said that blackthorns were your favorite”
“Did he now”
Your amused tone didn’t go unnoticed by Kingo, who smiled back at you “What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t know your favorite flowers, my sweet joy”
You smiled at him “I would hope that you would be the kind of friend who visits more often and not when something bad has happened”
Kingo smile dropped when he remembered the reason why they were all there. He guessed that he caused your own smile to disappear when the look on his face confirmed your suspicion.
You got a step closer to him “What is it, Kingo?”
The Eternal opened his mouth but didn’t find the words to say it.
Ikaris cleared his throat, claiming your attention. Kingo let go of the breath he was holding, relieved that he wasn’t going to be the one to break your heart “The deviants are back”
The shock in your face disappeared fast, determination taking over your features “I’m not going with”
Sersi got closer to you and called your name.
“No” you denied “You’re strong, there’s four of you. It’s more than enough. I’m sure that Gil will get into it too” you turned your back and started to walk towards the door.
“We need you” Sersi said.
“No, you just need Gil and maybe Thena… she’s doing a lot better these days and…”
Sprite called your name.
“Ajak told us to live our lives and that’s what…”
“Ajak is dead”
Ikaris' statement, cruel and cold, freezed you in place. You turned around to look at him.
“That’s not possible”
Ikaris gaze softened when he looked at the defenseless look on your face “It is true”
“No. It is not. I talked to her a few weeks ago. She was fine”
“A deviant went after her and killed her” Ikaris explained.
“Stop it, Ikaris” you demanded.
“We found her three days ago…”
“Stop it, you are cruel. You’re a cruel man”
“It’s true, sister” Sprite stepped in, taking your hand in hers.
“Stop acting like she’s dead, she is not. I talked to her only a few weeks ago. I promised I would call soon, I just didn’t have the time but…” you took you hand away from Sprite and you met Kingo’s gaze “I- she cannot be death, Kingo… we’re Eternals. How she-”
“Sweetheart” Kingo’s voice stopped your ranting.
You looked at him for a few seconds in his eyes, finding all the confirmation you needed.
“I cannot believe this” you whispered.
“We’re getting all the team together again” Ikaris told you. Your eyes never left Kingo’s “We have to go to Thena and Gil… they know where Druig is and maybe even Makkari…”
You moved your head side to side “I’m not going”
Ikaris called your name, impatient “Sister…”
“Ajak let us go free when she most needed us” you looked straight to Ikaris “She gifted us freedom” your voice was never more clearer “Freedom to build our own lives. And that’s exactly what I intent to do. It’s my way of honoring her” you nodded “If you want someone to kill the deviant that put an end to her life, find the vengeance you’re looking for in Thena. She’ll have plenty to give”
The hurt in your eyes was almost too painful to witness; Kingo decided that he never wanted to see such sight ever again.
You walked out of the room, no matter how many times Sprite tried to stop you by calling your name.
Ikaris looked for Kingo’s eyes, and when he found them he sighed.
“So we came all this way for nothing” Sprite said.
“No. She loved Ajak. It was just fair that we told her about her death” Sersi nodded with confidence “And she’s right. It is only her decision now”
“Freedom won’t make her any good if a deviant comes after her and she’s all alone” Ikaris crossed his arms, frustrated “You saw what those things did to our Ajak”.
Kingo sighed “Let me talk with her” and he interrupted Sprite before she could begin to talk “Alone”.
Kingo went after his protector.
He found you sat down in the hallway, with your hands running through your hair. The Eternal smiled as in reflex.
His heart couldn’t stop the warmth you provoked in him, the sweetness that rotted his being in the best way possible. Loving and kind.
“I thank you for not walking too far” he started saying “This place is a maze”
“I knew you would come after me” you whispered while he approached you “You were always chasing me around anyways”
Kingo looked at you, amused “I don’t exactly remember it that way”
You looked up at him “Yeah well, maybe that’s just my imagination” there was that beautiful smile he loved “I enjoyed to think that the person I loved the most would always be around me”
Kingo felt how his stomach flipped on it’s own when he processed what you just say.
“I do love you”
“But you never stayed around”
Your statement shattered something inside of him “Yes, that is true” he admitted.
“So why now I must do what you never did for me?” you questioned him.
“Because you’re better than me, you always were” he extended his hand to you “The very best of us”
You took his hand and let him help you up “For a man that loves to be the center of attention, you do think so little of you”
He gave you a tender smile “Or maybe is what I think of you that’s so big”
You looked at his cheek, right where a little dimple was showing “What do you think of me, Kingo?”
The Eternal allowed himself to be lost in your wondering eyes for a few seconds, trying to remember exactly how it used to be between the two of you back then. Back home in Babylon. He wrapped around your finger, hanging from your lips. Holding tight to every word, every whisper and promise. When you were the moon and he was the tide. Back when he learned the truth about you while he was buried deep inside you, with your taste lingering on his tongue.
He would never love again.
“I think the world of you, khoba” he whispered the endearment in the same language he used to make you whimper back in Babylon “And I think there’s still fight in you” he let a jolt of his cosmic energy touch you hand, that was still being held by his. You smiled at the sensation “I see it in your eyes”
You let a sigh go, tension building up again in your shoulders.
“I know you’re tired” he whispered “I am too” he admitted “But that’s what teams are for, my love. You and I were the best of the best”
You smiled at him “I know” you whispered.
“You’re right about something” he let go of your hand to cup both of your cheeks “If this, you enjoying your freedom, is your way of honoring Ajak’s gift” you looked at him in the eyes “Then no one can take that away from you” tears began to fill your eyes “No one” he whispered.
“Gods, I missed you, Kingo” you confessed “I feel like I can not breathe right now” you laughed, hands forming fist around the Eternal’s shirt. He laughed with you.
You leaned close, and he followed. Your forehead touching his.
“I know what you mean” he said while he pushed his forehead against yours a little. He started laughing when you answered to his action by pushing against him too.
He caressed your cheeks with his eyes closed, your breath dancing against his lips like begging for a place to rest. He thought that in that exact moment, with you sweetly humming to his affection, nobody could blame him for falling.
“I’ll fight for you, my love” you whispered “I’ll always fight for you”
And he hanged to that promise like the gardens back home in Babylon.

Omg someone who writes for Kingo, yall are so uncommon, ok so could you do either number 4 or 8 from the fluff prompt list (or both).with Kingo, but can you make it kinda angsty? Thank you smm 💗💗💗
Yeah the amount of Kingo fanific is really disappointing so I am here to change that! I hope you will like it!💖
From the fluff prompt list here : 4. “I love you, I always have and I always will.” and 8. You are my wife/girlfriend/fiancé/husband/boyfriend, not her/him.”
Again this is rather angsty but with a fluffy end💖
You're the one that I want. (Kingo x Eternal!Reader)
You have been with Kingo for a very, very long time. Hell you two have been together longer than Sersi and Ikaris. The two of you married in Babylon. It was one of the most happiest days in your life. You danced, drank and laughed the whole day. Neither you nor Kingo could take the eyes of the other for too long.
After everyone split, you two stayed together, even taking Sprite with you. One day you had to abandoned her though. It broke your heart but you made sure that she was safe. It let you to think tough, what if Kingo got bored with you one day and leave you too? You know what a silly thought it was to think like this, but the doubt in you grew little by little since that day.
It got worse once Kingo started his acting career in Bollywood. He wanted to make the humans smile and you loved him for his caring nature. You never doubted his love for you, even as million people started to swoon over your husband. He enjoyed what he was doing and he told you about everything that happened on set every day. You loved listening to his stories.
Lately though all his stories revolved around his beautiful new costar. At first you didn't think much about it, putting it aside as just another funny story. But the longer the shooting went on the more tired you grew of the stories about his costar.
One day it got so bad you finally snapped. This lead to one of the worst fight the two of you ever had. You two threw insults at each other, that you weren't very proud of. Neither was he but you didn't know that.
When he had enough of your accusing he left. Where, you had no idea. You sat on the sofa, crying. You don't know how long you sat there. Regret washed over you. You shouldn't have assumed that he would cheat on you or that he would leave you. You called him a selfish-prick or that he wasn't helping humanity as much as he thought. Worst of all you told him that he was not as much of a hero than Ikaris and he should stop pretending he is. Of course you didn't mean it. You never could. He was your personal hero as well.
What he said wasn't much better though and that he told you that he regretted ever marrying you, before he left the house was probably the worst thing you have ever heard.
At one point you must have cried yourself to sleep.
When you wake up it is because of a hand softly stroking your cheek. You opened your eyes and saw Kingo's sad brown ones looking at you. You sat up already crying again.
"I am so sorry. I didn't mean any of this. I was just so scared that you would leave me because you finally grew bored of me. And I love you! I love you so much, I always have and always will. And the thought of losing you broke my heart into a million pieces. I know that does not justify the things I have said. I just hope that you will be able to forgive me one day." You were hiccuping.
Kingo hugged you softly. You were clinging to him like a monkey. "What I said wasn't justified either and I am truly sorry. But you have to realise that your jealousy was unjustified. You are my wife. Not her. I could never want anyone else but you."
You nodded and continued to cry into his shirt. It would take some time for you to work through the thing that were said. And to get back to the way things were before. But the two of you were willing to put some work into your relationship as neither one of you was willing to life with the other one. Not now. Not ever
