Loki Laufeyson x fem!reader - Seven Minutes in Heaven
A/n: Please like, comment, or reblog if you enjoyed :)
This is from my imagines book on Wattpad under the name CalsRebellion
Summary: The compound is too quiet for Tony's liking and so he decides that you should all play a little game of seven minutes in heaven.
Tumblr media
The compound was quiet for once.
No alerts signalling missions, no crashes or shouts from the training rooms, no noises from the labs. For once, there was just silence. And a certain someone named Tony thought it was agonizing. He was determined to have fun.
He thought and thought for what must have been a full hour before he came up with an idea. He knew most of the team would argue, but he was bored and desperate. No one paid attention as he left the room, or when he returned half an hour later.
"Seven minutes in heaven!"
All of you looked up at the sudden announcement, confused. He had just burst in with a grin and a bag of God knows what.
"What?" Bucky questioned.
"You heard." Tony smirked, crossing his arms and causing whatever was inside the bag to rattle.
"What is... Seven minutes in heaven?" Thor asked slowly.
"You don't have that in Asgard?" You asked in return.
He shared a look with Loki and shook his head, causing Tony to seem amused. "That's really sad."
"It's a game." Natasha explained. "A stupid one."
"I don't know, it can get pretty good sometimes." Clint shrugged.
"Name one time something good has come from seven minutes in heaven."
"Joanna Wheeler, tenth grade." Tony said, smirking again. "Best night of my life."
"I'm with Nat." You said. "It's a stupid game."
"Come on, (y/n), what's stupid about spending seven minutes in an enclosed space with one of your friends?"
You didn't answer.
"We have everything we need. The closet." Tony motioned to a storage area in the corner. "The hot singles." He motioned to all of you. "And the bag."
"Yeah, I think I'll just sit this one out." Bruce said, getting a murmur of agreement.
"Please!" He begged. "(Y/n), you first. Come on."
"Not a chance, Stank." You muttered, going back to your book.
However, the book was snatched from you and you were lifted to your feet by Tony.
"Just a few rounds." He said. "Then you can go back to doing absolutely nothing productive."
It took a moment of internal fighting before you realized the best way out of it was to just play along. And so you nodded.
"Sure. Whatever."
Like a child on Christmas, he held the bag out, giving it a shake and motioning for you to pick something. Very reluctantly you put a hand inside, and, with a frown, pulled out a mini-figure helmet in gold with two horns on it. Immediately, your stomach dropped.
"Yeah, no." You quickly put it back in, hoping no one saw.
"Ah, ah, ah." Tony took it back out and showed everyone. "Reindeer Games and (Y/n)!"
"We'll kill each other." You hissed at him.
See, Loki and you didn't always get along. You were usually the recipient of his pranks or schemes and you especially hated him for when he put marbles outside your door. You never recovered.
But, as much as you hated to admit it, part of you did like his humorous nature. But only a very small part. You also had to give him props for being the most attractive guy you'd ever seen.
Yeah, your feelings were pretty conflicting.
But, before you could voice this, you found yourself being shoved into the corner with Loki beside you.
"Keep it PG." Tony teased, shutting the door and plunging you into near darkness.
The only source of light was a flickering bulb above which barely illuminated half the room.
"Let me out now and I promise I won't break both your legs!" You shouted after him.
Nothing in response.
"Seven minutes in hell." You then mused, attempting to break the silence. "Not how I pictured my afternoon."
"And how was that?" Loki asked, his tone teasing.
"Finishing the Percy Jackson books for the third time."
He seemed amused by that. "Why? The Olympians are such a bore."
The way he said it confused you, as if he personally knew the Greek gods. Then again, it shouldn't be surprising. He was a god. Of course he would know others.
"What are they like?" You asked, genuinely curious and momentarily forgetting you didn't like him.
"Zeus is pompous and arrogant. Hera likes to believe she owns the world. Do not get me started on Apollo and Artemis."
You couldn't help laughing. "So you think you're better than them?"
"Yes."
"Wow. Gotta love that self-esteem. Good for you."
The silence returned shortly after and you felt a little awkward again. But, since he clearly knew a lot on the topic, you kept the subject of gods and goddesses up.
"Is Aphrodite as pretty as the stories say she is?"
"She is beautiful, yes." Loki confessed. "But a terrible kisser. I'm much better."
You scoffed. "Yeah? And how would you know?"
Without warning, the raven-haired god held your face in his hands and kissed you. It was slow and heart-filled at first, a barrage of unspoken emotion, but it soon became more passionate and wild. By the time you started losing air, Loki was already smirking against your lips.
"Wow." You whispered, staring at him with wide eyes.
His infamous smirk was just about visible in the dim light. "Believe me now?"

Bucky Barnes X fem!reader - Newbie
A/n: Please like, comment, and reblog if you enjoyed :)
This is from my imagines book on Wattpad under the name CalsRebellion
Summary: You get into some mischief at the Avengers tower and run into the new guy when making your great escape
Tumblr media
You tossed the can of spray paint into the trash with a happy smirk. As much as your new art work pleased you, it was better to get out before the owner of this thing came back. You'd be dangling over the side of the tower by your ankles otherwise.
Laughing like an idiot, you left the room with a skip in your step as you traversed the twists and turns of the tower's hallways. That's when you heard it.
"(Y/n) (M/n) (L/n)!" Someone screamed.
You snorted at the scream and turned your skip into a run, unfortunately barrelling into someone when you reached the entrance to the lounge. Thankfully though, he caught you in his arms and quickly stood you up before backing away.
You straightened your posture to see who had saved you from a bruised face and couldn't help smirking at the fine ass man standing there.
"Hello, gorgeous." You mused, raising both brows in surprise.
"Hi." The guy said in a quiet voice, almost like he was afraid to talk.
"(Y/n)." Someone else greeted. You peered around the corner to see Steve walking over with a smile. "I see you've met Bucky."
"Bucky?" You questioned, extending your hand. "I'm (Y/n). It's nice to meet you."
Bucky looked at your hand for a while before reaching out his own and shaking yours. "Hi, (Y/n)."
"Are you new here? I don't think I've seen you before."
"Yeah."
"Bucky will be joining the team." Steve explained. "I'm just showing him around now."
You nodded along when another roar of your full name ricocheted around the tower. You bit your cheek to bite back a laugh and Steve and Bucky looked at you curiously.
"Is that Tony?" Steve questioned. "Why is he after you?"
You shrugged innocently. "I have no idea."
That was when Tony burst into the room with his suit hovering along behind him. His face was red and he looked like he was on the brink of having a seizure. The reason?
You know the spray paint you had tossed earlier? Yeah. You used it to turn the red and gold suit a glorious color of neon pink.
"(Y/n), get your ass here." Tony ordered.
You casually slipped behind Steve in case you needed to use him as a meat shield and tilted your head curiously. "Whatever for?"
"This." Tony motioned to his pink suit. "What is this?"
"Oh my god... It's just pure mindless vandalism." You faked a gasp which only infuriated the billionaire further.
"You're dead."
You poked your head between Steve and Bucky with a smile. "Nice seeing you, Steve. Nice meeting you, newbie. Unfortunately, I have to go, but good luck with the tour."
That's when you ran for your life and barged through the next door, Tony running after you and shouting a rather nasty mix of curses.
Bucky watched you run and he found himself smiling a little as he turned to look at Steve. "I like her already."

So... The beautiful and broken mess that is Callisto. Most people find it odd that I'm a huge simp for someone that has the same name as me but can you blame me? This woman right here is the embodiment of a complex and broken character...
Tumblr media
Let's start with backstory:
Basically Callisto started off as a young girl in a village named Cirra with her parents and sister. She was happy and content with her life. But eventually Xena's army came to Callisto's village. A fire broke out somehow and quickly spread due to the winds and so Callisto and her family took refuge in a barn, not yet realising the severity of the fire and danger they were in. She watched her entire family burn alive in that barn while only she managed to escape (however there was an alternate time travel storyline that made the deaths 10000X more impactful for Callisto but that's a whole other board game).
In summary... "Imagine when you were a little girl and all you knew was your father, your mother, and your sister. All your faith revolved around them. Now kill them."
So now that the basic backstory is done, let's take a look at a quote (talking to Xena). "No, it's not your fault. Not your fault at all that every night I dream of my mother's screams coming from my burning home! I'm going to kill your soul. Just like you killed mine. I will never stop hating you, Xena, do you hear me? Never! You killed my family! My soul, my happiness, my reason to live and love! I will spend eternity seeking revenge."
Already you can see that Callisto was broken and in pain. She couldn't let go and true to her words, she was relentless in her pursuit of Xena. In her first episode appearance it quickly shows that the trauma of her family's deaths really messed up her head and Callisto is portrayed as completely and utterly insane. She's genuinely excited and thrilled by the idea of watching Xena suffer for what she's done even though Xena had changed her ways and turned good by this time. In her debut episode, Callisto was about to die too. She was literally going to fall to her death and forced her 'army' to do nothing. She was so heartbreakingly happy when she fell and when Xena caught her, Callisto screamed in anguish, so angered that she didn't get to just die.
Xena's redemption didn't matter to Callisto because to her Xena would always be the monster that destroyed her reason for living and ruined her hope for peace and happiness. Several times Callisto supposedly died and then came back to finish the job because when she said she would never stop hunting and hating Xena, she really did mean it. Callisto isn't like other villains who eventually die or decide to stop their evil plans, she just outright refused to back down without justice. But the most heartbreaking part of her story is this: Callisto wanted to kill Xena in hopes that she could pass off her pain and feel sane again. But it never did. She didn't get to kill Xena but she played a big role in the death of Xena's son and even though this made her happy, she realised that no amount of tormenting could make her forget about the past. Callisto realised that all along she didn't want justice or revenge, she just wanted to die. To feel nothing. She wanted oblivion.
She secretly prayed and hoped that Xena would kill her in one of their many showdowns instead of just trap her again. She was too afraid to do it herself so Callisto kept fighting in the hopes that she'd die anyway. Soon it got too much and she literally fell to the ground and begged Xena to just kill her and bring her the peace she desperately craved. But Xena let her live again because she wasn't a murderer anymore. Her story finally (sorta) ended when Callisto was involved in a plot with Gabrielle's daughter Hope. It ended with Gabrielle sacrificing herself and Hope and this made Xena so grief-stricken that she finally killed Callisto at last.
Seeing the smile on Callisto's face when she dies breaks me every damn time. She's just so relieved that she doesn't have to carry her grief anymore.
Callisto has always been such a big part of my childhood because she's so unique and different and yet she's still just a normal person who's been through a hell of a lot. She's such a raw and genuine character that I believe should be appreciated more.
Okay so this was super long and I'm very sorry for that but I have a type and that is psychotic 'villains'. I mean... Callisto, Harley Quinn, Loki, Josh Washington... Yeah I definitely have a type.
Anyways... I hope you enjoyed me ranting and simping for Callisto. See ya 😙✌
