"No, love, absolutely not," Loki stated; shaking his head and crossing his arms over his chest. "I won't allow that. Not in your condition. You rather stay here with Ella."

You raised an eyebrow, and put your hands on your hips. "In my condition? Babe, I'm pregnant! That's not a condition. I thought you knew that?" Loki snorted. "Well, to me it is." You sighed. "Okay, look, I understand your worry - but geez... Ease up a bit. I didn't even pass the first trimester. And besides, this is just a charity event. Not in the slightest dangerous." Your husband's jaw clenched, as his brain searched for the right words.

"I know, Y/N. I am more than aware of that, but..." He paused; unlocking his arms to tenderly cup your tiny, almost still invisible baby bump. "We fought so long for this, darling. Against heartbreak, sadness - Norns, even depression, and now that we are finally blessed with this little wonder growing in there, I'm not letting it go again. It was so hard for us to get pregnant. I'm not going to risk it."

You swallowed; raised your hands to cup both his cheeks. "I know, babe, I know..." You whispered; on the verge of giving in - but then you remembered a very important thing. "But you'll be there, too. You can always have an eye on me and protect us. I promise, that I'll never leave your side. And that I'll be careful. Plus, you wouldn't need to worry about our princess as well, 'cause she's more than safe with her grandparents on Asgard. She's already so excited to go there."

You could practically see the gears turning in his head. "How does that sound? What do you say?" A low grumble of disliking rumbled through Loki's chest, but in the end, he gave in with a sigh. A decision he was going to regret later. "Alright, fine."

Only a few days later, you and Loki were on your way to Canada - Calgary, to be precisely; together with Bruce, Peter and Tony. It wasn't a very big charity event, but an important one nevertheless.

Once the Quinjet landed, Tony immediately made sure to get everyone to the hotel you were staying in. After checking everyone in, the billionaire was quick to get to his room. "Alright, team... We'll meet at exactly eight p.m. tonight. No minute later. We have to be on time." He pointed at everyone - the longest at you and Loki. "Especially you two lovebirds. Understood?" Everybody nodded well-behaved. "Sure thing, Mr. Stark." Except Loki. The god just rolled his eyes. Tony ignored him and instead turned on his heels to leave the lobby. "Now if you'd excuse me... I've got a terrible headache, caused by all the sweet talk coming from Laufeyson's mouth. Ta-ta." From the corner of your eyes, you could see Bruce shaking his head. "He's such a diva sometimes." "Sometimes?" Asked Loki in return, causing you - and even Peter to giggle.

Loki stopped mid-sentence, to ask you this question in an almost offended voice, once he had turned to face you. You put the t-shirt in your hands down and looked at him confused; blinking. "Umm... Unpacking our stuff?" He immediately shook his head and walked over to you. "No, you're not." Loki said in a firm tone, taking the suitcase away. "You are going to lay down and rest. We can unpack later or even tomorrow. The flight was very stressful and exhausting - and the next few days are going to be packed and eventful as well. I don't want you to overdo it." "But, babe, I-" "No." He shushed you, placing both hands on your hips. "No excuses. You promised me, remember?" You sighed, knowing that he was right. You did promise him. "Alright, alright, fine. I'll go, lay down."

Loki took your hand and guided you to the hotel room you shared - and it was absolutely beautiful. Modern, luxurious, cosy - perfect for a few days. Tony had planned to take everyone to a few fan events and Comic Con's around Calgary after the charity event. Something you were definitely looking forward to.

"Tony definitely has a nice taste in hotels... Can't deny that. Don't you think, babe?" You looked over at Loki, who had just pulled the t-shirt he wore over his head. "It's more than likely the only thing Stark has a good taste in." You couldn't help yourself but to laugh. That laugh quickly died in your throat, though, when Loki slipped the jeans – which covered his lower body, over his hips and down his thighs; leaving him only in his black underwear - and socks. You bit your lip; tried not to stare or give into your raging pregnancy hormones. It was difficult. So, you decided to stop watching your husband strip and rather start unpacking your luggage. "I'm going to take a shower now, love. It was way too hot in the Quinjet. Stark always pretends he doesn't know that I am half a Frost Giant… And after that, I'm taking you out for dinner. You have to- What are you doing?"

Loki smiled and placed a tender kiss on your forehead. "Thank you." You wrapped both your arms around his torso, in order to hug him. But then another idea crossed your mind, and you let your hands wander down to the waistband of his briefs. "I could join you in the shower, you know..." A dark chuckle rumbled through his chest. You really thought you had him for a minute, "As tempting as this sounds, my queen..." but then he stepped out of your embrace. "But no. Not now. Not today. Please rest. It'll be good for you and the baby." Once again you sighed. It couldn't be helped. Loki stood his ground. "Okay, okay, I give up." Loki smiled and pressed a quick kiss on your lips, "Good girl." before he left for the bathroom.

Later that day, after having eaten dinner, you and Loki got ready for the charity event. While your husband got dressed, you decided to pay the shower a visit as well - for which you took your time. Getting ready for such a big event wasn't just done in a few minutes. Funnily, you had absolutely no idea what Loki was going to wear, so you chose to wear a black, elegant dress, which wasn't too sexy and overdressed, but also not completely innocent. It reached to your ankles and had a slit on the left side of your leg; stopping at your thighs. It was also tight around your waist, but not too tight - since you decided to not show the world (and teammates) yet that you were pregnant again. Okay, admittedly it could be easily mistaken by weight gaining, but you didn't want to risk the rumours to spread. After fixing your hair and applying some decent makeup, you were ready to go. You hoped Loki was ready as well, because a look on your phone told you, that it was almost time - and you didn't want to face Tony's diva wrath.

"Babe, are you rea-" Your words died in your throat, when you closed the bathroom door behind yourself; eyes landing on the god. He sat on the big, king-sized hotel bed; legs spread wide and phone in hands - which wasn't an unusual thing. It was the outfit he chose to wear, that took your breath away...

A black shirt, which hugged his arms and torso snugly; causing his biceps to bulge. The sleeves were rolled up, leaving his forearms deliciously bare. He had left the first few buttons of the shirt undone, exposing his chest in an almost sluttish way. With that not enough... Black, tight suit trousers covered his muscular thighs and legs; held together by an equally black leather belt. All this was paired with shiny, black dress shoes.

"Sweet Lord have mercy... Have you planned to get me pregnant all over again, looking like that, or... Perhaps to kill me?" Loki just chuckled, shaking his head, "Absolutely not, my queen." and stood up, "As much as I'd love to do that, though..."  straightening his shirt. "I can't, because I already did." He practically growled; winking at you. "I just wanted to give you something to look at. Besides, it's for charity - and you should look adequate on such a big event, right?" You were speechless. Entranced by his look and the words leaving his mouth.

And if this wouldn't have been erotic enough, he overcame it...

Those wild raven locks of his, were bound together, styled into a high manbun, with only a few loose curls being loose; neatly tucked behind his ears. On his fingers twinkled beside his wedding band a few other rings in black and emerald green; completing his outfit. Loki looked drop dead sexy. You could've jumped him. Right then and there - and he knew. Oh, he knew. The mischievous smile and cheeky look he was giving you said it all.

"You are a naughty, cheeky little shit sometimes, do you know that?" Your husband just chuckled once again and stepped over to you, in order to place his big hands on your waist. "I am aware of that, yes - and I know how much you love it." You smiled; trailing your fingertips over his exposed chest. "Hell yes, I do." He smirked mischievously and leaned down to kiss you passionately.

His oceanic blue eyes roamed over your body then; wetting his lips. "You look absolutely stunning as well, my love. Beautiful as ever. I especially appreciate..." His hand found the slit in your dress; cool palm gliding over the hot skin of your thigh. "...this little feature." You giggled like a schoolgirl - high on love and pregnancy hormones. "Thanks, Lokes - but I don't look quite as sexy as you do. You are going to break so many hearts tonight, babe." Loki shook his head. "That may be true, love, but I'd never break yours. Never." "I know."

About twenty minutes later, the whole team - including Pepper, who joined the party a bit later, 'cause she had a meeting this morning - arrived at the charity event, where already a lot of fans and paparazzi waited... At the red carpet. "Are you ready, my love?" Loki asked; taking your hand into his and helping you out of the limousine Tony had rented. "More than ready."

Together, with the other Avengers you set foot on the red carpet; cameras flashing around you like lightning. Loki kept on holding your hand tightly, not letting you go. He still wasn't convinced of your idea in joining all this - him. You noticed it; felt it. Recognized it in the way he acted around you. "Loki! Loki! Loki!" From everywhere around you, fans (mostly girls, of course) and paparazzi screamed his name; literally praising him like the god he was. But Loki only had eyes for you. He didn't give the people that much attention; his number one priority being you - his pregnant wife and mother of his little princess.

Nevertheless, he couldn't help himself but to throw one of his smouldering looks at the crowd, causing several women to faint - you were sure of it. After that, he redirected his attention back to you. "Everything alright, my love?" You nodded, squeezing his hand. "Of course. We're good." Loki gave you a smile, then turned to lean closer to your ear. "Stay close to me, please. I know this is just a charity event. And I am also very aware that you can defend yourself, but I told you once and I'm telling you again... I don't want to risk anything. I hope you understand." There was so much love, adoration and worry in his eyes; it almost caused your legs to give in.

Once more you nodded. "I promise. I promised you already." He smiled the softest of smiles and lifted your hand to his lips, earning a lot of coos and 'Aww's' from the hundreds of people at the display of affection. "Thank you. Somehow, I have a very bad feeling about all this. I don't know why, but... It's present." And Loki was proven right with his gut feeling. He watched you like a hawk during the whole evening, but he couldn't prevent it from happening...

The god was talking together with Bruce to a few of the important people who organized this event, when you were approaching the group of men, after getting yourself something to drink with Pepper. "Apologies to interrupt, but… Babe, do you have a second?" Loki immediately turned to face you, "Sure, darling." and placed a hand on the small of your back. "Please excuse me for a moment, gentlemen, but my lady is in need of me." He gave the men one of his charming gentlemen-like smiles and guided you a bit off sides from all the people.

"What's the matter, my love? Are you alright?" "Actually, I feel a bit woozy and..." You grimaced and placed both your hands on your lower abdomen; Loki's hands following suit. "Uh... Nauseous." Your husband frowned. Sure, this wasn't uncommon and it happened when you were pregnant with Ella as well, but that didn't stop him from being worried and protective. "Do you wish to leave?" "No. It's not that bad. I think I'm just going to pay the bathroom a visit; freshen up a bit and take a breath." Loki nodded, "Alright. I'll accompany you." and was more than ready to walk ahead, when you stopped him. "I think I can do that alone. It's just a visit to the bathroom. I won't be gone for long." The god bit his lip; clearly not convinced by your suggestion. "I don't know, I-" "Hey..." You gently grabbed both his hands squeezing them. "I'll be just fine. I don't want to drag you all across the building just for this. Besides, it's the ladies bathroom and you're a man, so..." Loki sighed, but once again, gave in. "Fine. Be careful, yes? And if it gets worse, we'll leave immediately." "Yes, Sir," you promised and pressed a quick kiss on his lips, before you let go of his hands and left for the bathroom.

Both, Loki's and Bruce's eyes widened immediately. They exchanged one look - and started to run, into the direction from where the woman came from. It led both men into the big, fancy stairwell of the building. Scanning the area, they searched for the said men - and found them quickly. They had barged through the doors on the bottom floor and were now standing in the entrance area, looking up. The Hydra logo shone bright on their black battle suits. "Hydra," stated Bruce, recognising the danger as well. "Stark, get your billionaire ass over here. We have a problem." Loki spoke through his little communication device. Not a second later, Tony flew over their heads, dressed in his suit, of course. "Already on it, Reindeer Games." "We have to get all the people out of here." The god nodded; green seidr washing over his body and changing his suit into his armour. "You do that, Banner. I'll go find Y/N." "No. She'll be alright, Loki. She can look after herself. I firstly need your help. I can't get all those innocent people out of here alone. Tony can distract those guys, but not for long."

That was the last time he had seen you for quite a while. At first, Loki was all cool with it, giving you the time to freshen up and calm your pregnancy symptoms - but after fifteen minutes, he got suspicious and an uneasy feeling started to grow within his stomach. So, he started to look around for you; asking his colleagues on the way, if they had seen you. Unfortunately, they didn't...

"Banner... Have you seen Y/N?" The doctor shook his head. "No, sorry. I haven't seen her in a while to be hon-" Bruce's words got interrupted by a loud noise - causing everyone inside the big hall to freeze. "What was that?" Loki's question didn't need to be answered by Bruce. A woman in black high heels and a sparkling pink dress literally ran inside the hall, screaming. "Guns! Gun! There are men with guns!"

Loki didn't like this. Not at all, but he knew that Bruce was right. If he wouldn't help him, a lot of innocent people would get more than likely hurt or killed. "Fine. Let's go." Bruce nodded and started to run off; Loki following him. "There's an emergency stairway, right down that hall. We'll get them out there."

That's what the two Avengers did then. Evacuating all the people. Loki was unable to stay focused, though. His thoughts were constantly travelling to you. He had a bad feeling about this from the beginning - and he had been right. He just hoped that you were alright...

After emptying your stomach one last time, you walked on slightly wobbly feet out of the cabin and to the sink. Looking in the mirror, you noticed that you were quite a bit pale. Well, no wonder. After throwing up that much... Once more you sighed and turned on the tap to splash yourself with some cold water and to rinse out your mouth to get rid of the foul taste. Then you took some more deep breaths and when you felt slightly better, you decided to find your husband and leave. So, you stepped over to the door and opened it - only to walk into an absolute chaos. It was loud. Gunshots sounded from everywhere. Rubble was laying around; the insides of the building was quite a bit damaged. Then you saw Tony in his suit flying around and shooting at something. You blinked. Whatever it was what happened and what was going on... How could you not notice?! Still in some kind of shock, you walked to the still intact railing of the open hallway, in order to find out what the fuck was happening. A mistake. A wrong decision. A decision your still woozy and foggy brain didn't think through. With horror in your eyes, you witnessed the literal army of what seemed to be Hydra men fighting against Tony and Pepper. Help..., you thought. They needed help. You were about to switch into your fighting mode, when you suddenly heard Loki's voice from far away. "Y/N! Watch out!" The warning came too late. Before you could even make out the sniper from across you, the bullet had hit you already. The force of it threw you to the ground. The last thing you heard before everything got dark, was the heart wrenching scream, which left your husband's lips.

While Loki, Bruce, Tony and even Pepper fought the army of Hydra supporter, you were still in the ladies bathroom; not having a clue what was going on. Yes, you had heard a loud noise, but were too occupied with not missing the toilet bowl while throwing up. On the way to the bathroom, your condition had suddenly switched very fast from 'not that bad' to 'I'm going to throw up any minute now'.

Well, that's where you were now... Hanging over the toilet; literally puking your guts out - all the while trying to not ruin your dress and hair. "Oh gods..." You closed your eyes and took a deep breath. You felt awful. Perhaps it was for the best to accept Loki's offer and return to the hotel. But... What to tell the others? The only people who knew of your second pregnancy were Loki, Ella and Natasha. Nobody else. After all, you told your best friend to not tell it a single soul - and you knew you could trust her, so... Bruce wouldn't know. Just like Tony and Pepper. And you had no intention in telling them. At least not now. You wanted to wait until you passed the 'critical' first trimester. Although, the little Frost Giant inside you was growing fast and soon you wouldn't be able to hide it for much longer anyway. Ugh, you thought. Decisions, decisions...

Loki was powerless. He couldn't do anything about it; was too far away from the sniper to stop him. With wide, teary eyes, he saw your body hitting the ground. For a moment, time seemed to stand still for him. He didn't even notice how he screamed. But then the harsh realisation hit him, and he started to run, getting as fast as somehow possible to you.

His heart was beating fast against his ribcage when he saw your limp, seemingly lifeless body - and the tears started to fall rapidly. "No, no, no, no, no!" Loki didn't care that there was a battle going on. All he had on his mind now was you - and his unborn child. He ran over to you and fell to his knees beside you, gently turning your body around. There was blood and a big, gushing wound on your shoulder. Luckily your shoulder. Loki's shaking hand quickly went to check your pulse. It was there. You were alive. Utter relief flooded his body. "Oh thank the Norns, thank the Norns." He praised; voice breaking. But then he noticed how much blood you were losing and that your bullet wound needed medical attention - unless you were going to die. So, he switched on his communication device. "Banner, get over here. Quick. Third floor. Ladies bathroom." The answer came prompt. "On my way." "Bring every medical supply you can find on your way. And hurry up! It's urgent!"

While Bruce was on his way, Loki sat down beside you. He took one hand of yours into his and placed his other hand on the wound. He wouldn't be able to heal you, but he could slow the blood loss. He closed his eyes for a moment; green seidr starting to flow from his palm. "Hold on, my love. Norns, please hold on. I'm here." Loki squeezed your hand, before he gently let go again to cup your lower stomach. Seidr started to pour out of his other hand as well. He tried to feel the baby; knowing well that it was too early for him to feel him or her. And he was right. He couldn't feel them. He couldn't tell if they were alright or not. With a frustrated groan, he stopped his attempt - just as worried as before. Anyways, he had to try, didn't he?

Only a few minutes later, Bruce came running down the hall. The doctor's eyes widened, when he came to witness the scene in front of him. "What happened?!" It was, of course, as clear as a day what had happened, but the question bubbled out of him nevertheless. "Sniper," Loki answered dryly; then quickly removed his hand, so Bruce could take a look. He nodded; examining your shoulder. "There's an exit wound. That's good. Means the bullet went through. Nevertheless, we have to patch this up. Unless she's going to bleed out. We have to get her out of here." Loki clenched his jaw. "I am very aware of that, Dr. Banner," he hissed. "Just do something. I can't lose her." His teary, frightful and worried eyes met Bruce's brown ones. "Please," Loki added, desperately. The doctor nodded and reached for the medical supplies he found on his way... Plasters, bandages, disinfection, gloves and other things. "I'll try my best to stop the bleeding as good as possible, but- Loki, what are you doing?" Bruce witnessed how the god stood up; eyes focused on something across the grand stairwell. "You got her, Banner?" The doctor frowned, "I-I think so, y-yes, what-" and followed Loki's eyes - and realised. There was a Hydra agent - and Bruce had a guess. He could count one and one together. "Loki, no. Leave him be; I-" The god turned around; the fury and anger in his eyes causing Bruce to clap his mouth immediately shut. "You got her, Banner?" He repeated his question, more firmly this time. Bruce nodded; swallowing hard. "Good." His eyes wandered shortly to the man with bright pink hair again - the one who shot you. Loki recognised him, of course. And when he saw him standing there, he lost it. Completely. Rage was taking over his system like venom. "Guard her with your life," he said and started to walk away; adding in a threatening, dark and intimidating voice: "Or you'll be the next."

Led by his untamed wrath, Loki made his way quickly to that one Hydra soldier; killing every other on his way - without even blinking. He was like in a trance; blinded by his anger. That man had almost taken one of his most precious things in his life away from him - and he couldn't just let that pass. That man was going to pay - right now.

The man with pink hair was about to escape through one of the ventilation shafts, when green seidr hit him; causing him to get thrown to the ground. He tried to reach for his rifle, but the god was quick to kick it away and out of reach for him. Before the man could even stand up and defend himself, Loki had picked him up off the hard ground and literally slammed him against the nearest wall; big hand wrapped around his neck. The man's eyes met the god's furious ones - and he just laughed. "What are you waiting for, huh? Kill me." Loki practically growled, squeezing his neck tighter. "Do you even know with whom exactly you are dealing with and what monster you just unleashed by doing what you did?" Again, the man just laughed - not even trying to fight Loki. "For such a smartass god, you are incredibly stupid, Laufeyson." The god's jaw clenched. He was losing his nerves. "What I did was the only reason I came for. Killing Agent Y/L/N was my job; knowing very well that I'd die here tonight doing it - because of you. So, what are you waiting for. Do it." Those words caused Loki to laugh dangerously - almost hysterically. This man really thought he had killed you. "Possibly. But you are the fool - not me. Being so stupid and trying to take my wife away from me… You have no idea what you have gotten yourself into, little mortal," Loki whispered in a threatening voice and started to shapeshift into his Jotun form.

The man's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know. He didn't know. Loki was towering over him now; ruby eyes glowing dangerously red. "Not so brave and impudent now, are we?" The man just swallowed; still gazing at Loki shocked. "I told you. You have no idea what monster you unleashed..." He stated once more, tightened his grip a bit. "Tell me, mortal... You've got a family?" The man nodded, unable to form any words, due to Loki's strong grip. "A wife? Children?" Another nod. "So you are a father, just like me and nevertheless you agree to take the life of an innocent child's mother? That is pathetic. Weak. Cowardly. You disgust me." Loki spat. "And with that not enough... You almost took two lifes." The man's eyes widened to the size of plates; connecting the dots. "That's right. She's with child. I don't know yet if your headless, rash assassination hurt them, but… You better pray it didn't." And again, Loki tightened his grip, before conjuring a dagger - made out of ice, "But... Actually, if I think this through, you don't have to pray, because you won't get to know. It's time to pay." and rammed the dagger into his stomach, causing the man's jaw to drop and a breathless scream to leave his lips. Loki twisted the dagger and let go of him. The man fell to the ground, gasping and gurgling. The god rounded the man – like a predator its prey, before he squatted down beside him, shifting back into his Æsir form. "Next time you try to take my family away from me, do it right - or better... Don't even try it. Although, I highly doubt there will be a next time." With a clasp on the dying man's shoulder, Loki sauntered away. He had to do it. He just had to.

After Bruce had turned the Quinjet on autopilot; giving it the coordinations of the next hospital, which was fifteen minutes away, he returned to you and Loki. He checked on your wound - which was oozing a bit of blood again, but not as much. Loki's seidr and Bruce's pressure bandage had helped, but so slowly the fabric of the bandage turned from white to red as well... "I already informed the hospital. They'll be ready when we arrive," he informed the god, who stared at your unconscious body. "Good." His eyes were focused on your stomach. Loki was utterly afraid and worried, that the blood loss this bullet wound caused, could've harmed the baby. He just couldn't shake off that thought. It drove him crazy not to know - up to the point where he couldn't take it anymore. So, he had no other option but to tell Bruce...

As soon as he had quenched his thirst for revenge, his mind wandered - of course, back to you. So, without further ado, he made his way back to you.

Bruce was luckily still sitting by your side; two lifeless Hydra men laying a few meters away from them. "How is she?" Loki asked immediately. The doctor turned at the god's voice; facing him. "For the moment, stable. I stopped the bleeding, but the point still stands... She needs medical attention." Then Banner looked Loki up and down, swallowing. "Did you...?" He knew what Bruce meant, and nodded. "I had to." Loki stepped closer to you and knelt down, "Let's get her out of here and to the Quinjet." and gently took you in his arms; carrying you bridal style. "Back me up?" Bruce nodded, and turned quickly to Hulk; watching out for any enemies to come your way.

The three of you made it out of the building and to the Quinjet without any further incident. While Bruce started the engines, Loki laid you slowly down on the stretcher. "Stark. Banner and I are on the Quinjet now, bringing Y/N into a hospital and-" "Yes, yes, I know. Bruce told me. Make sure she's alright." "Are you able to make this without us?" "What kind of question is that, Reindeer Games? Pepper and I are almost done here. The civilians are safe and sound and the Hydra men reduced to a group of ten." Loki rolled his eyes at Tony's comment. "Fine."

"Banner, would you check her stomach and lower abdomen, please?" The doctor frowned. "Why? She's been shot in the shoulder, not in the stomach and-" "Just do it!" Loki cut him off; almost screaming at the man. "Alright, alright, I'll do it. Calm down, man." He went to grab a little device and held it over your stomach. Looking down at the miniature display, and not expecting to find something, Bruce's eyes suddenly widened. He lifted his head, gazing with surprise and a little shocked at the god. "Loki, that... There's... Y/N, she... She's-" "Pregnant, yes." Loki finished his sentence. "That's why I asked you to check. Is the baby alright?" Bruce blinked, and nodded. "Y-Yes, I... As far as I can tell, y-yes." "Oh thank the Norns," the god breathed out relieved. He took your hand in his and gave it a gentle squeeze, all the while he leaned down to pepper your stomach with little kisses. "Our baby is okay, my love... They are alright - and you'll be too, I promise," Loki sobbed into the fabric of your dress; holding on to you.

As for Bruce, he clearly needed a moment to grasp this. "How far along is she? How... How long do you know?" Loki turned his head to Bruce and smiled through his tears. "About ten weeks. She told me a month ago, right after she found out. Well, Ella told me, but yes..." Bruce couldn't help but smile as well. He was, of course, happy for you and Loki. "Well, in that case... Congratulations." "Thank you. I'm honestly a bit surprised that Romanoff didn't tell you anything." The doctor's eyes widened. "Natasha knew?!" Loki nodded. "She was the only one who knew. She was with Y/N when she found out." Banner nodded, "Makes sense." before he went to land the Quinjet. "Let's get her help - as fast as possible."

"Mr. Laufeyson, Sir." A doctor ripped him out of his thoughts. Loki literally jumped to his feet, looking at the young man with anticipation and hope. "How is she?" "She's alright according to the circumstances." The god let out a deep, relieved breath he didn't know he was holding. "Oh Norns… Thank you." "She was lucky that the bullet went through and we didn't have to operate." "Is the baby alright?" Not that Loki didn't trust Bruce, but he'd rather have it checked twice - and besides, Loki had to tell the doctors that you were pregnant anyways. "Yes. The baby is safe and sound." He took a deep breath, nodding. "Can I go to her?" "Of course."

While the doctors looked after you and patched the wound up, Loki sat on a chair in front of the wooden door in the white, empty hallway, waiting. Bruce had returned to Tony and Pepper.

Fear and worry were still very present in the god's head, but also guilt. He felt utterly guilty. Guilty of taking you with him on this damn event. Guilty of not accompanying you to the toilets - as stupid as it might sound. Guilty of not having been able to protect you - and his baby. It weighed him down. And nevertheless... He couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't change the past. It happened; and the most important thing now was that you were going to be alright.

No ten minutes later, Loki was sitting by your bedside; your hand in his and patiently waiting for you to wake up. To his sheer relief, he didn't have to wait long. Your eyes fluttered open; blinking; needing to adjust to the bright light. "L-" Loki was it you wanted to say, but your throat felt dry, causing you to not even get his name out. Your husband reacted immediately, of course and reached for the glass of water on your bedside table; gently helping you to drink. "T-Thank you." "Of course, my love." Then you looked around. "Loki, where... Where am I?" "In the hospital." You blinked, before you started to smile. "I survived this?" Loki couldn't help but chuckle softly. "For sure! Do you think I'd let the most important being in my life die?" You smiled even wider, shaking your head. "See?" Loki smiled as well, squeezing your hand. "How are you feeling? Are you in pain?" You shook your head. "No, but... I feel utterly tired." Apparently were the pain killers working just fine yet. "Good, that's good. But you should rest then. Give yourself and our child time to overcome this accident." Your eyes widened on an instant at Loki's words; free hand flying to clutch your stomach (It was luckily not your hurt arm). "Oh my g-gosh, the baby! Are they alright?!" You panicked for a moment, but Loki was quick to reassure you. He placed his free hand on yours. "Don't worry, darling. They are completely fine." "T-Thank god."

Loki's expression changed suddenly; the guilty feeling returning. "My love, I am so sorry. This all is my fault. I promised to protect you... And I failed. I-I wasn't there when you needed me and-" You shook your head, interrupting him. "Let me stop you right there, babe." Intertwining your hand with his, you looked him deeply in his stunning blue eyes. "This is absolutely not your fault. I am the one to blame for this. Not you. I chose to accompany you. I chose to go alone to the bathroom. It was me, not you. You did your absolute best and protected me the best you could." Loki blinked. "But-" "Ah.Ah. No but's. Please... Don't blame yourself."

Your husband took a deep breath; running a hand through his luscious curls. "I... I could've lost you, Y/N. And our child. Ella could've lost her mother." "I know... But you didn't. Ella didn't. I'm here. I'm alive. The baby is alive. We are both okay - and we will make this. My shoulder's going to heal." Despite your words, there was still hesitation in his eyes. So, you tugged gently at his hand, "C'mere." encouraging him to lean down. He did what you asked him to, and leaned down. You didn't hesitate; pulled him instantly in a kiss. It was so loving and intense; almost taking Loki's breath away. "Stop. Blaming. Yourself," you mumbled in between kisses. Loki couldn't help but smirk; brushing your nose with his. "Only if you keep on kissing me." "Pfft," you laughed and shook your head, but kept on kissing him.

Once Loki assured himself, that you were, indeed alright - according to the circumstances, he decided to take a trip home and tell Ella and his parents what had happened. He had to. So, he stayed with you the whole day, night and even the next day, before he left on the following morning; travelling to Asgard.

"My, my, what do we have here? Is this a tea party? And I am not invited?" Loki asked; approaching them. Ella's head snapped, of course, immediately into his direction after hearing her father's voice. "Daddy!" She squeaked out excitedly and scrambled to stand up. Loki knew what was about to come, so he squatted down and opened his arms. Ella came running and threw herself into Loki's awaiting embrace. He swiped her off her feet and lifted the girl up; hugging her tightly. Ella giggled; both her little arms tangling around his neck. "Ah, my little princess... I missed you." "I missed you too, daddy." Loki kissed her cheek, before letting her down again.

"Welcome back, prince Loki." Heimdall greeted him with a bow of his head. Loki gave him a nod. "Heimdall." "Bear my best recovery wishes for her - and congratulations." The prince smiled. "Thank you. I shall do that."

On a horse, the god made his way to the palace. "Greetings, my prince." The guards welcomed him and let him inside, of course, where he asked for his daughter and parents. Loki got told, that Ella was with his mother in the royal gardens and the Allfather caught up in a court meeting with the royal advisors of the king from Svartalfheim. So, Loki went to the gardens. He could already see his princess and mother from afar. They were sitting on a soft blanket, which laid underneath a cherry tree, in order to shield them from the sun. Both of them had tea cups in their hands and he could swear that he also saw two big slices of cake. Loki couldn't help the smile, which spread over his lips at the scene in front of him - and when he heard Ella's sweet laughter, it only widened.

Frigga just watched with a smile on her face. She loved seeing her son being a father. "Mother," Loki greeted her; kissing her cheek as well. "Hello, son. You're back early." At her words, the god got taken back in time; remembering what had happened. "I know. I'll explain. But first..." He turned back to Ella, tickling her. Again, she bursted into fits of giggles. "I'd like to have a biiiig slice of cake. It looks so very delicious. Princess, would you go to the kitchen and ask Bjørn, if he would be so nice and give me a slice?" "O-Okay, daddy," Ella panted; still giggling and trying to recover from her dad's tickle attack. "You're a treasure, thank you." Ella smiled, then hopped away. The skirts of her pink summer dress billowing in the wind; raven curls, which just reached her shoulders, bobbing.

"I have the feeling you want to tell me something without my grandchild listening..." Frigga noted. She wasn't stupid. Loki nodded, "I do, mother." and swallowed. "I... Have good news and bad news." Loki pondered about with which news to start, but then decided on the good news. His parents didn't know yet that they were going to be grandparents - again. Perhaps this was the time to tell them. Well, at least Frigga. He'd come around the next few days to tell his father as well. Actually, Loki wanted to do this with you, but... The current circumstances didn't allow it. Hopefully you wouldn't be mad at him...

"The good news is; Y/N is... Well, she's pregnant again."

For the second time, Frigga's eyes widened - but this time out of shock. "Oh by the Norns! How is she?! Did it affect your child?" "She's alright - according to the circumstances. The bullet went through, so they didn't need to operate. She lost a lot of blood, but we made it in time to the hospital. Luckily, it didn't affect the child. They are safe and sound, steadily growing in their mother's womb." A relieved breath left the Allmother's lips. "Indeed... That's why I am back earlier. I'll take Ella with me now and tell her. Y/N's dying to see her baby again," he stated with a small chuckle. Frigga nodded. "Of course, my son." Just in that moment, they noticed Ella returning - carrying a plate with a big slice of cake on top. "Please greet her and wish her all the best. And tell us if she's getting better!" Loki took his mother's hand and squeezed it. "I will do that, for sure."

Frigga's eyes widened. "Pregnant?" The god nodded with a smile; almost unable to hold back the tears. "Yes, mother. We're having another baby." The queen gasped; hand flying to cover her mouth. She tried to hold back the tears again. "Oh Loki..." She more or less sobbed, before lunching forwards to hug him. "That's wonderful, son. I'm so delighted and happy for you and Y/N." Loki hugged her even tighter. "Me too. I'm honestly a little surprised that Ella didn't tell you. Well, we told her to not do it, but... You know how excited, small children are... We wouldn't have been mad at her if it had slipped past her lips, but well..." Frigga just giggled. "It would've been a great way to find out as well." "Oh definitely!" Loki chuckled; pausing. "I, uh, wish to tell father as well. I'm coming back in the next few days as soon as he has got more time." His mother smiled, "My lips shall be sealed then." but it dropped quite quickly again. "I'm a little afraid of the bad news now..."

"Well..." Loki started; thoughts returning to the accident once more. "We, um, we were on that charity event and... And there was an attack." He fumbled with his fingers. "I swore to protect Y/N and couldn't in that very moment. She's... She's been shot in the shoulder and is in the hospital now."

After Loki had eaten the delicious cake and spent a bit of quality time with his mother and daughter; he decided to return to you, taking Ella with him. They both bid their goodbyes and off they went through the Bifrost; only to land in a hospital - much to Ella's confusion...

"Uhh, daddy? Why are we in a hospital?" The little girl looked around; seemed quite a bit frightened. "Where's... Where's mommy?" Loki's heart felt already heavy; having to tell his child what had happened. He took a deep breath and squatted down in front of Ella, to be on eye-level with her, and took her smaller hands in his. "You know we were away to attend an Avengers thingy?" She nodded; getting visibly more nervous and angsty. "Unfortunately, we've got attacked by some really bad guys and... Mommy got hurt - but she's okay, sweetheart! She has a wound that needs to heal, but she will be perfectly fine!" Loki immediately went to calm her down, since her eyes started to get watery; tears running down her cheeks promptly. "M-Mommy's hurt? What happened?" The god swallowed. "A man tried to shoot mommy and hit her shoulder," Loki explained; gently wiping the little girl's tears away with his thumbs.

"Can… Can I see mommy?" "Of course, princess. That's why we're here." He smiled softly; looking down at his daughter, who resembled him so much. "Come here." Loki then just scooped her up in his arms; hugging her and carrying her to the room you were in. He didn't care that Ella got heavier so slowly; being not a toddler anymore. She held onto her dad, burying her face in his neck and hair. It had been clearly a shook for the little girl to learn that her mother was hurt in a hospital...

Loki gently knocked on your door and waited patiently for an answer. "Come in!" You were awake. Loki freed one hand and opened the door; stepping inside. Your eyes immediately lit up, when you saw your husband and daughter. You were so happy to see Ella. You had missed her - a lot. When you saw that Loki was carrying her, you knew exactly what was going on...

"Princess, hey," you greeted Ella softly, after your husband had carried her over to your bed. She was still clinging to her dad, but when she felt your touch on her back and especially heard your voice, her head snapped to face you. Her cheeks were reddened - just like her eyes, in which were still tears glistening. It definitely teared at your heartstrings. "Oh no, sweetie... Come here." You opened your arm (the one which wasn't hurt) for her. Loki immediately let her down and she didn't hesitate even a second; ran into your arm as quickly as possible. Sure, Ella had to overcome the obstacle which was the hospital bed; but that didn't stop her.

"Mommy," she sobbed; clinging now to you. She may have been already a big girl, but in moments like this, she was still just a child - which was more than alright. "Don't cry, baby. I'm ok." You stroked her hair in a reassuring manner and pressed soft, little kisses to the crown of her head. Exchanging a look with your husband, you could tell that it hurt him as well; seeing his daughter sad and crying. It always did.

Once you managed to calm her down, you were in for a long round of cuddles. Ella laid in your arm, cuddled against your side. At some point she had just slept in. Perhaps from the exciting vacation she's been on. Perhaps from the shock. Anyways, you were just glad she had calmed down - and so was Loki, who sat beside your bed on a chair. His oceanic blue eyes watching over you and his princess. He still had to tell you that his mother knew now about the little wonder growing within you, but that was a story for another time.

Making the Best of the Situation

Summary: Peter 1 gets deaged to a one year old and has to get cleaned up. Two and Three come up with a great way to get the youngest clean and have some fun along the way 🙃❤️

(This idea was given to me by the lovely @teddysterk 😁❤️ It would have been done sooner, but I accidentally deleted part of it and had to rewrite it 😅 But, it is finished! 😁 Hope you all enjoy 😁❤️)

"Come on Uno, I need you to work with me."

One squirmed as Two wrestled him out of the his outfit.

"You're filthy bud, we have to get you clean."

A whine slipped out as the shirt popped over the youngest's head, thoroughly smearing mud on his face and hair.

"There." Two set the soiled clothing aside. "Otto has got to get that portal fixed."

The youngest's face dropped. Approximately a week had gone by since One had jumped through the portal from his world to Two's. The portal had glitched with One inside, turning him from a teenager to a one year old.

Needless to say, none of them were excited about the change. They were trying to make the best of the situation, but it wasn't fun.

Two softened and wrapped his baby brother in a hug. "I'm sorry this happened to you Bug. Trust me, if I could, I'd fix it in a heartbeat."

With a tiny sniff, One hid his face in the eldest's chest. Emotional regulation sucked when your entire body fit on your older brother's chest.

Ignoring the mud smearing his shirt, Peter 2 rubbed One's back. "We'll get you back. I promise."

A knock came from the partially opened bathroom door. "Hey, everything okay?"

Two turned to Three. "Yeah, we're just processing things."

"Still having a rough time?"

"Unfortunately."

Another quiet sniff interrupted the moment.

"I'm sorry Bug." The middle Peter placed a kiss on the top of the youngest's head. "I promise, we'll get this figured out."

Two squeezed him close. "You're not alone in this Pete."

After a beat of silence, Three squeezed Two's shoulder. "Ready?"

"I guess. Got everything?"

The middle Peter motioned to his bag. "Yep."

"Nice." A piece of rubber caught Two's attention. "But what's that?"

"Oh yeah!" Three held up two sets of gloves. "Ta-da!"

"Why do you have dish washing gloves?"

"Well, as much as Uno loves us and we love him, I don't think bathing would be the best experience bare handed."

One of Two's eyebrows arched up. "So you bought gloves?"

"Yeah, but look." The middle Peter shoved the gloves toward him. "They have soft bristles on them to help you clean better."

The eldest eyed the gloves. They were an odd aqua green color with the palms and fingers covered in small bristles. From his perspective, they looked prickly and rough. Yet when he ran a thumb over them, they felt soft and gentle.

"See? This way we can clean him, but there's still a layer in between."

Two nudged One. "What do you think Bug. Do you like the gloves?"

Hesitantly, One felt the bristles. His face wrinkled a little at the feeling, but he didn't pull away.

"I can't tell if that's a bad look or an okay look."

Three shrugged. "It's better than nothing at all."

As the middle Peter pulled the glove back, Two felt One turtle. The quietest little squeak snuck out as he quickly pulled his hand back.

The eldest smiled, but made no comment. "Did you buy two sets?"

Three pulled another set out of his pocket. "You read my mind."

"Perfect."

A tiny smile pulled up the corners of One's mouth. Not a full smile, but the first one Two had seen in the past few days.

The eldest slid on a pair of the washing gloves and brushed a finger against One's cheek. "Gootchie goo."

Try as he might to hold him in, tiny giggles slipped out.

Two glanced up but Three was too busy examining the bottles of baby shampoo and body wash. So the eldest gave One a wink. "Ticklish."

The youngest blew a raspberry at him.

"Come on." Two booped his nose. "You could use a smile."

One buried his face in his hands. However, he couldn't hide the growing grin from a knowing older brother.

Before either could further retort, Three stood beside them. "Alright Bubba, let's get you clean."

The youngest started giggling as both older brothers neared him with the bristley gloves.

"What's got you so bubbly Bug?" Two teased.

One shook his curls.

Meanwhile, Three titled his head. "Am I missing something?"

"Oh don't worry." The eldest lifted One's arm and glided one finger across his armpit. "You'll catch on."

With a squeal, the youngest yanked his little arm back to his side. A blush started forming on his cheeks as nervous giggles filled the bathroom.

By now, the confusion on Three's face had morphed into a mischievous smirk. "Aww, is someone too ticklish for the gloves?"

Peter 1's giggles grew even more as he turtled away from the bristly finger currently gliding under his chin.

Meanwhile, Two melted. One was an adorable teenager, but he was absolutely precious as a baby. Big brown eyes, high pitched giggles, and tiny curls flying everywhere? He could give Gerber babies a run for their money.

A stream of squealy baby laughter pulled him back to Three gliding both gloves along One's ribs. Both of his little legs kicked widely while he tried to grab a hold of Three's hands.

The middle Peter cooed. "Gootchie gootchie goo baby brother."

A snorty headshake was his only response.

Two grinned. "Oh no Three!"

Peter 3 looked up. "What?"

"You forgot body wash." The eldest handed him the bottle. "You'll have to clean all over again."

"Ihi guess yohoure rihight Dos."

One's eyes widened as he wrapped his arms around his torso. "No!"

The interaction immediately stopped.

Ever since the portal incident, the youngest hadn't spoken a single word. Both Two and Three had assumed he just couldn't at this age. But even One seemed surprised by the fact that any word had come out of his mouth.

However, since he was much more sensitive to emotion in his younger state, it startled him even more.

"Snuggle Bug? Are you okay?" Two asked

The youngest's eyes started to tear up.

Immediately, the eldest wrapped him in another hug. "Hey, it's okay. That was just a little startling, wasn't it?"

"Es."

Three pouted over One's head.

Two smiled, but held up a warning hand. "Let's take a break for a moment okay?"

"Ease?"

"Of course. That came out of nowhere, huh?"

Peter 1 rubbed his eye. "Ickly."

"Ickly?"

One tiny hand patted Two's hand.

"Ah, you're right Uno. The gloves are very tickly."

Peter 3 jumped in. "But they can also be fun. Watch this."

A moment later, the taller Peter covered his eyes before pulling them back again. "Peekaboo!"

One small giggle slipped out.

So Three repeated the actions again. "Peekaboo! Ah peekaboo!"

By now, One had returned to his giggly baby form and all past tears faded away.

Three covered the front of his face to try to hold back the squeals trying to leave his mouth while Two bit back a laugh and held up the bottle of shampoo. "Why don't we start with the shampoo first Bug?"

One nodded and reached for the bottle. "Old?"

"You want to hold the bottle?"

"Es ease."

"Sure." Two helped him hold it. "There you go."

While the bottle had seemed small in both Two and Three's hands, it seemed absolutely massive in One's. A little extra maneuvering and the youngest was able to squeeze a small amount of the shampoo onto Two's hand.

"Thank you Uno." Two lathered the shampoo as he watched Three sink to the floor. "When Tres is done freaking out, maybe we can actually finish this bath."

The tallest of the trio whined as he pulled himself back up. "Don't tell me you're immuned to all of this! That sounds coming out of him are literally precious!"

"Trust mehe, Ihi know. But he's also been sitting on this counter without any clothes for over 10 minutes. So let's put a hold on the cuteness aggression until he's cleaned and clothed please?"

Three whined again, but still wetted One's curls with a little water. "It's not fair for him to be this cute and you not expect me to smother him!"

"You can have all the cuddles after bath time."

"Ugh! Fine."

Once his curls were wet enough, Two massaged the shampoo through. Even these two actions had one turtling into his shoulders with a stream of babyish giggles pouring into the space again.

"Oh my word!" Three melted. "Are you not hearing these Two!"

Peter 2 had to admit, it was hard not to join Three on the cooing end. There were a few instances where he purposefully dragged his fingers over a spot just to keep him giggling a little longer. "It's like a little giggle fehest ihin here."

While the youngest giggled away, Two may have pushed all of his curls up into a bubbly mohawk to make both he and Three die of cuteness overload.

Then, while he thoroughly rinsed, Three prepped his gloves for the second part of bathing. "This will be a quick in and out Bug. Maybe."

"But the same rules apply to you as to teenage Peter." Two booped his nose. "If you need us to stop, tell us to stop, okay?"

"Tay."

Once rinsed the youngest already looked much cleaner. However, streaks of mud still decorated his face and body.

The eldest carefully wetted One's body before helping him back up. "Alrighty Three."

In true older brother fashion, Three wiggled his fingers toward his baby brother. "I'm gonna get you Petey."

Anticipatory giggles began filling the room again as One watched the gloves get closer and closer. "Ihicklyhy oo!"

"Aww, are the gloves too tickly for baby Petey?" Two teased.

"Eanie!"

"I'm not a meanihie."

"Eanie oo!"

The middle Peter carefully washed One's legs clean. "Scruba-dub-dub, I washing ya Bug."

Those same giggles grew even more as Three washed away the streaks.

"Aww, does some baby got ticklish knees?"

"Noho!"

"I think you do." One finger glided under the back of the youngest's knee. "Tickie tickie."

"Eee! Ehe!"

"Ee?! You're killing me here Uno!"

"Noho!"

Two stopped the youngest from rolling off the counter. "Where are you going rolly polly?"

"Eanihies!"

"Not meanies." Two moved to scrub behind One's ear. "It's just our job."

"Eeee!"

"That's right." Three moved up to scrub along his tummy and ribs. "Big brothers have to tickle baby brothers. It's---."

A snort broke him off.

Both older brothers melted at the sound while One pouted. However, it was hard for it to be persuasive with bright eyes and snorty laughs.

Three blew a raspberry into his tummy.

"SQUEE! EE!"

"Ihi gohot your tummyhy."

One little hand batted Three's head. "Noho ummyhy."

Two broke at the facial expression on Three's face.

However, all laughter quieted as Peter 1 rubbed his eye with his fist.

Both older brothers shared a smile as they wound down their attack. Even in tiny human form, tickles still wore the youngest out.

So Three took off his gloves. "Alright Uno, let's finish up here. Then it's jammies and nap time."

"No ap."

Two also removed his gloves. "You're eyes are so heavy Bug. We'll play later."

"No ap ease?"

Three guided him to the sink. "You'll be cranky if you fight it Bubba. Trust me, the fun will still be there when you get back."

"Tay."

Quickly, the older two rinsed One clean of soapy suds before wrapping him a clean towel. They switched out the soggy diaper from his bath for a clean one before dressing him in a zip up onesie.

By the time they had finished, Peter 1 had almost completely slipped off to sleep. His last little bit of stubborn will kept him from fully dozing off.

Two wrapped him in a blanket. "Come on Pete, time to close those eyes."

One shook his head as he yawned.

So Three scooped him to his chest. "Come on Bubba."

The youngest's eyes already started to close. "No."

"Good night Uno."

A moment later, One slipped off into a deep sleep.

Two brushed down his damp curls. "You know, I miss teenage Uno, but baby Uno's pretty cute too."

"I wanna squish him."

"We just got him to sleep."

"Please?"

"Later." Two plopped on to the bed. "Come on."

"What are you doing?"

"Making a cuddle party." The eldest patted the bed. "Told you you could have all the cuddles when we were done."

A moment later, Peter 3 was pressed against Two's side with One on his chest. "Yes!"

The eldest pulled him close. "This is perfect."

Meanwhile, the youngest snuggled further in between the two before quickly falling back asleep. The machine may not be fixed yet, but baby One was pretty cute.

Maybe they would be able to get through this okay after all.

Oh, the joys of viewing my soul-soothing shows with a loved one.

White Collar Free Fall

(Neal and Mozzie walking together)

My older sister GPDofTUN: I know him! I know him!

Me: The young guy or the older guy?

GPD: The older one.

Me: Probably Sex in the City. (NEVER willingly watched that show, just know Willie Garson is apparently known for it)

GPD: Why does Peter's wife look so familiar?

Me:.... It's alright 'cause I'm Saved by the Bell....

GPD: Ohhhh! That's HER??!

(Peter learns that Neal is hiding in his house)

GPD: (As Neal when he shyly shows himself to Peter) Hi, Daddy.

(She gets it!!!! 🥰😁)

(Peter hiding in the shadows when Kate walks in)

GPD: Oh my God.... He married Kate?!

Me: What?! No!

GPD: Ohh, she looks just like his wife. (I never noticed the resemblance between Kate and El until someone pointed it out on a forum a year or so ago. It's hard to see anyone but Kelly when looking at El. In the far back of my head, Zack Morris changed his name to Peter Burke, darkened his hair and eyes, and joined the FBI . That's how he's so hip to Neal's schemes 🤣)

White Collar Vital Signs

(When Neal points out that Peter has to flirt with that woman all afternoon and it'll be a fun story to tell Elizabeth over breakfast)

GPD: He's definitely the kid. (As Neal) Mom, guess what Dad did!

Me: 🥰🤗

White Collar Home Invasion

GPD: That's the girl you like, right?

Me: Yep, Alex with her sexy self.

GPD: That's not the one he's been looking for?

Me: Nope, that's Kate.

GPD: So, why did Peter tell Alex he's FBI if Neal didn't want him to?

Me: Just being a dad, embarrassing him wherever possible.

GPD: Ohhhhhhh, right.

Don't kill yourself.

Do become a tutor in White Collar 101💛

Tagged by @bewires (it's been forever since i've done one of these, but clearly the end of year has me in the mood for reflection)

Tagging: @raedear, @devouring-time, @regina-del-cielo, @chinchillinator, @werebearbearbar, @emjee, @sixth-light and anyone who would like to do it, ofc :)

How many works do you have on AO3? 33

What's your total AO3 word count? 449,572 (of which, yes, over half was written in the last 1.5 years)

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they? My AO3 says 7 but that's only because I keep orphaning older works I'm unhappy with 😅 should be like 10!

They are: The Old Guard, The Raven Cycle, Harry Potter, Merlin, James Bond, The Witcher, In The Flesh and technically also Love, Actually

Are there any new fandoms you want to write for? No, I'm a one fandom at a time kinda gal 😁 (I can barely balance fic with original fiction, but yeah if there was anything I wanted to "get into" it would probably be... my novel draft from last year or two years ago)

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

and you smiled, because you knew. (TOG)

we that are true lovers run into strange capers (TOG)

Oh, the Irony (TRC)

The Voice of Experience (TOG, co-written with @werebearbearbar)

"I assume you don't mind sharing?" (TRC)

Which of your fics do you want more attention for? i'm not sure if there's a good answer here that's not something along the lines of "all of them, duh," or the other extreme, which is "it still boggles my mind that people are responding to the things i'm putting out there at all."

...but then again, i'd bet everyone who's written more than one fic for the same fandom knows that it tends to be the small, silly, throw-away idea fics that seem to get a lot more kudos and comments than expected, and the longer ones with meatier concepts that take tons and tons more work often don't get reactions in proportion to that.

so in that vein, a fic i worked hard on that i wish had more kudos is if you do take a thief , but at the same time, it had a really loyal readership and people left amazing comments that made my day whenever i updated, so anything else i put here would sound like an unreasonable complaint ♥️

Do you respond to comments, why or why not? I try to! ...but when i write one-shots, i'm actually sort of mentally done with them and i find it difficult to respond to comments because i then go back and forth thinking about what i've written and doubt whether i should have posted it (even if it's the nicest comment ever!). that's why i'm more likely to respond to comments on WIPs - at least there I feel like I can still fix it 😅

What sorts of things do you normally write? Very silly AUs based on social media posts, if I'm being honest

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? I keep saying I don't write angst, but that's a lie - I wrote an interpretation/canon retelling of the events leading up to Quynh being thrown into the sea, and there is nothing happy about the ending to that fic.

What's a fic that pushed you out of your comfort zone? The fic I spoke about above - I didn't know anything about the setting, I'd never written fighting scenes before, and I'm basically addicted to happy endings, none of which this fic had. Without @avaniesque it would have been one big mess <3

Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you've written? Apparently I do! I've just recently written a The Old Guard x Love, Actually crossover, because the idea that Chiwetel Eijofor's character in each film (Copley and Peter, respectively) tickled me. I think I did a good job, although yes, it means I had to fridge Keira Knightley 😅

I've also written a Hogwarts AU for In the Flesh, but that kind of thing doesn't really count as a crossver anymore, does it?

Have you ever had a fic translated? Not to my knowledge - but I have translated other people's Merlin and 00Q fics in the past!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yep - my Big Bang from earlier this year was a co-written piece with @werebearbearbar ♥️

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? Not sure there are any - some are bit more slow going, sure, but I haven't given up on any yet.

What are you currently working on? I guess I might as well admit to it - I've now started the radio fic 😂

What are your writing strengths? I think I'm funny (sue me), a decent plotter, and relentless in giving fics fully-fleshed out secondary characters that are a joy for my mains to bounce off of.

What are your writing weaknesses? Because I envision most of my stories like a TV series, I don't always do a lot of "showing" when it comes to my characters' emotions - it's dialogue or nothing, usually.

Also, English is still only my second language so sometimes my phrasing is awkward and my scenes and sentences drag on and on while I try to make my point - I've been trying to write neater for literal years.

What was the first fandom you wrote for? Most recent? If we're counting school projects, then Looking for Alaska was the first, and most recent, of course, The Old Guard

What's your favorite fic you've written? if you do take a thief - it was a lot of fun!

What fic are you most proud of? Ever so often, I try to write about a slightly bigger topic than my usual borderline crack AUs. It can be a bit hit and miss, but I've been very touched by the response I've gotten to if i'd have lived longer. I wasn't sure if the issue I was trying to touch on, that kind of not having anything against children but not wanting them for yourself, would come across. I'm glad that some people felt seen in the end result.

What Are You Doing To Me? Playlist

Thanks to an anon here and Cheddar on FF, I’ve been inspired to make a soundtrack for WAYDTM?

Basically, these are the songs I see fitting their emotional states in various parts of the story! You’ll see it’s really all over the place... because they’ve been all over the place 🤪 Poor kids.

Lily

Red — Taylor Swift (adorably sweet and innocent thoughts at the beginning of 5th year of what loving James is like)

Cellophane — Ella Vos (when James pulls back after their first date and the rejection starts to sink in)

My December — Linkin Park (when Lily’s life goes to shit 5th year with Mary and her parents, before she stops hearing music all together)

You. — Lucy Daydream (her mantra about not letting James back in, 6th year)

Set Fire to the Rain — Adele (Lily after James kisses her in detention)

Lithium — Evanescence (when she feels herself cracking for him)

Beautiful Wreck — MØ (when they’re sleeping together)

Wanted (Kuur Remix) — NOTD, Daya, Kuur (when she starts thinking maybe this could work…)

Navy Blue — Charlotte Lawrence (when she goes to seduce him after realizing how much danger she’s putting him in by being with her)

Vulnerable — Selena Gomez (at the end of 6th year into 7th)

Begin Again — Taylor Swift (yep… the chapter Begin Again… sorry, song names make great chapter titles! Heh)

Slower — Tate McRae (the vibe for the smut scene in chapter 43)

James

What I’ve Done — Linkin Park (angsty ‘I fucked up’ mid-5th year with Lily and Sirius mood)

Strange and Beautiful (I’ll Put a Spell On You) — Aqualung (end of 5th year when James is just so fucking in love with Lily from afar)

Every Breath You Take — The Police (when James’ obsessiveness gets away from him a little bit over the summer before 6th)

Time — NF (at the start of 6th)

Moments — Tove Lo (when he’s pursuing Lily hard… pretty much his response to You.)

When She’s High — Tully & Mei (when he’s just started sleeping with her and trying to deal with her depression and the lashing out he doesn’t understand)

Semi-Charmed Life — Third Eye Blind (when their shagging becomes regular and he’s happy as a clam 😁 lol)

Me and My Girl — Theory of a Deadman (high didn’t last… when he thought she was sleeping with Adam, right before the jealousy boiled over into desk shag)

Carry Your Throne — Jon Bellion (back from his freakout and ready to fight for her heart)

10,000 Emerald Pools — BØRNS (when they shag in the Room of Requirement/Quidditch Pitch)

False God — Taylor Swift (during Christmas)

I’ll Be — Edwin McCain (GUYS. This one is a little too on the nose for when he’s ALL IN)

Moon Rider — Jai Wolf & Wrabel (when she finally agrees to go out with him — like for real, for real ^.^)

Flames — Vast (his feelings during their first time 7th year)

Both

Funeral — Maisie Peters

Bonus Song that’s just always Lily in any Jily 😉

I Won’t Say (I’m in Love) — Hercules Movie

I like that idea! Yes, let's kick whoever's ass😍💃🏻😂

Joke's on you, I already had that curse, too😂😂😏

Ohh, yess 😍 Unpredictability and a menchant for trouble, gotta love a good anti-hero/villian/sociopath/psychopath😉😂

Yup, same🙈

😖😫 Sleep's important😭

Ohh, I'll check it out later than😍 The title sounds cool tho!😁 And lol, yeah, very useful🤔

Hmm, not sure, I mean, their canon selves would work, too, but making them a twisted version of a fairy tale sounds really cool, too🤔🤔😍🙈 And there are so many tales to choose from, like they could be Flynn&Rapunzel or Pirates or Princes(s) or ohh a version of PotC's Will and Elizabeth or ohhh do you know Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen"? Kara could be the girl who's searching for her friend/love and Mon could be the boy who got infected by the mirror or something🤔🤔 It would need a cool twist tho (like they did with Peter Pan being the bad guy)🤔 Or Ohhh, one could even combine stuff (kinda like Rumplestilskin also being the Beast)🤔😍🙈

Yess, best cousins forever😍😍💃🏻💃🏻😉😂

Yeah, well, I've been told it's romance, so I wouldn't watch or read it anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️😅 Ohhh, a Regency AU?😱😍 Tell me more!

...Sorry, I should have clarified: I meant more duets WITH her husband😂😂🙈🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ 

Yuup and Yeah, their love really got screwed with...😖😫

Well, depends on how you define "know"😅 I mean, I recognize that particular song's chorus, so I have heard it before (don't even ask me where, I am shit at remembering the names of songs or their singers or even where I have heard the songs😅🙈), but I wouldn't have known the song just by reading the name and I have no idea if I know any of their other songs🙈😅 (But ohhhh, WHAT?!?! A pic-set of Kara as Penelope and Mon as Odysseus?!?😍😍😍😱😱😍😍)

Ehh, pretty sure I have watched Top Gun, but it's SO long ago, I don't remember anything about it, sorry😅🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

Yo, don't stress😁

Ehm, well, yes, in the show's finale she proposed to him if I remember correctly🤔 But the show ended there, so that's it🙈 BUT, funnily enough both actors played a married couple together in Warehouse13 (which has has Crossovers with Eureka), so it's like we saw their Alternate Universe selves married already😍😂

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA niceee, THAT Sounds like it'll be awesome for us and the chaos duo and absolutely terrifying for poor Kara (meh, just gotta deal with it😉) 😍😍😂😂

You too!☺

XXX

COME AT US BRO!

HOPE IT WILL GET YOU HARDER! HA!

Yep, more well crafted and complex characters, amen.

Flynn&Rapunzel fanonically fits them like a glow xD Pirate and Princess? Who would be princess here? xD Interesting idea, i think in the canon they were brother and sister, tho, and i don't think I could unsee that xD I had an idea once, that he was the knight who went searching for a princess imprisoned by a dragon. And when he came into teh cave he saw the Princess aka Lena, scolding the big golden dragon, who was somehow enslaved by the princess magic and forced to kill the knights and other people to gather their gold, jewels etc. Mon-El maybe not kills, but hits Lena head and frees the dragon who turns into a girl aka Kara. They escape together and.. no idea what else xD

Yes, it's, how i call it, RAGING romance.

Well I have a few ideas.

Mon cames back from some abroad war (in colonies?), while being considered as dead. His fortune kind of ruined, his parents and older brother dead etc. While Kara's desparate to avoid clutches of some asshole, horrible lord. So she comes to Mon adn asks him to marry her, because he needs money and she needs protection (her father is dead, dunno).

He is part of secret intelligence on some very important secret mission and on some ball, in the library is attacked by two assasins. He fights back but is almost killed, while suddenly one of them is hit in the head by Kara with a fire poker - she was hidding in the library because she hates balls. Anyway, becasue of that she is thrown into the whole big scheme and helps him but is also put in danger. So, day end kindapped, had to spent whole night alone in some remote place. Nothing happens but she is compromised. And because her status is not so good (her parents are dead, she doesn't have money, she is sustained by her uncle who is NOT happy about it all). Also, Mon-el is engaged to Miss Imra Arden, but the first thing he does when they come back, he ends the relationship with her and asks Kara to marry him. She of course refuses, because, she doesn't want him to marry her because obligation, even if it means she stays compromised and with no chances for marriage. And i have thet nice scene in my head, where he comes to her place, while Jeremiah bascially screams at her for the shame she put on their name (they know Mon is engaged to Imra who is high and mighty and it seems they are in love blah blah,). He asks them if he can talk to Kara in private, he asks her to marry him, she says no while rambling about Imra etc, he rolls his eyes, cups her face in his hands kissed her to shut her up and says he broke up with imra, because she is the one who he loves and he loves her since she hit the assasin's head. She agrees and I have no other ideas what next, lol

Dunno, making them child enemies but when they meet years later, spark flies?

Ok, that explains a lot. Kind of think you have heard it in some anime fan vid xD

Ok, ok, personally i have seen this movie like 10 times because they love to play it in the tv here and I liked the soundtrack very much.

...now you gave me empty hope for MW playing married couple somewhere...

Can't wait for the next arc xD

Stay safe!

Pretty Fly for a Firefly

Summary: Peter 1 introduces Harry to his new nickname :)

(Based of the Anon prompt sent in about Peter 2's Harry getting a nickname ❤️ :) Firefly was such a sweet nickname suggestion with the meaning behind it ❤️🥹 If you guys think of any others, we can give Harry more nicknames 😁❤️ Each of the Peters could have one and myabe Norman could have one too? Or Otto? ❤️:) Hope you enjoy Anon ❤️😁)

"I got it!"

Harry grunted as Peter 1 ran into his back. He set down his water and ruffled the curls peeking out over his shoulder. "Gohot what itty-bitty?"

"Your nickname!"

Harry turned in his seat so he could see the youngest Peter. "You finally thought of one?"

One bounced up on to his toes. "Uh-huh! And it's perfect!"

Two chuckled. "Leave it toho Unoho. He and Three are thehe masteherminds ohof nicknames."

Three held up his hands. "I did not help him with this ohone!"

"So it's an Peter 1 original?" Peter 2 teased.

"Yep!" One bounced up onto his toes.

Harry grinned. "Lay it on me itty-bitty."

The youngest beamed. "Firefly!"

"Firefly?"

"Yeah!"

"Soundd rihight fohor Uno." Two pointed to himself and then Three. "We're animal nicknames too."

"Yeah, but Bear and Giraffee make sense." Harry also pointed to the older two. "You're cuddly and you're tall. But as fabulous as it may look, my butt does not sparkle."

Peter 3 wheezed at the comment while Two snorted and buried his face into his hands.

One playfully shoved his older friend. "I didn't give it to you because of yohour butt!"

"I hope nohot."

"No!"

Three wiped a tear from his eye. "Wehell why thehen?"

"Because!" The youngest wrapped his arms back around Harry's shoulders. "You knohow hohow fireflies light up the dahark?"

Harry nodded. "Yeah."

"Wehell, when we have dark parts in ohour lihife, Harry seems to light them uhup. Just like a firefly!"

The older two Peters both melted while Harry blushed.

One's smile faltered at the quiet response. "D-do you really like it?"

"Like it?" Harry reached an arm around behind him so he could pull the youngest close enough to ruffle his curls. "I love it you little sahap."

Peter 1 squirmed in his older friend's hold, but he couldn't hide the smile beaming across his face.

Three leaned forward. "Hope you realize I'm planning on using this as an excuse to call you Flyguy, right?"

"Like Skyguy in The Clone Wars!" Two exclaimed.

Harry smirked at the middle Peter as he released Peter 1. "Whatever you sahay Snihips."

One bounced back up on to his toes. "Soho you do like ihit?"

"Absolutely itty-bitty." Harry grinned at him. "I'll treasure it forever."

"With a smile like that, hehe's dehefinitely our Firefly," Two teased.

Harry playfully kicked him under the table. "Huhush yohou!"

But even with all of the teases, Harry couldn't keep the smile off of his face or stamp out the swelling of his heart from all of the love that he felt from one little word.

Sap, he thought to himself.

Movie Distraction

Summary: Peter 2 and 3 go to see a movie only Gwen and MJ are excited to see.

(May or may not be basing this fic on a scenario with @parker-fluff and @babyparker11 mixed with the fact that Andrew Garfield confirmed he and Tobey Maguire snuck into a movie theater to watch the Spiderman movie when it was released 😁 enjoy!)

Peter 3 slumped in his seat. "How much longer does this movie have?"

"We've only been here 20 minutes Three," Two whispered. "Better settle in."

"You sound as bored as I am."

"Yep."

The only reason the two Peters had even attended the movie was due to Gwen and MJ. Both women had dying to see this new movie and had talked Peter 2 and 3 into the idea of a double date.

However, once the group had entered the theater, they could not find 4 seats together. The only seats they could find were two in the front and two in the back.

Not wanting either of the girls to miss out, 2 and 3 had offered to let them take the front two seats while they took the two in the back. Now both brothers were bored to death of the movie in front of them.

In fact, Three was almost asleep when he felt something scurry across his stomach. He squeaked quite loudly. Thankfully a particularly loud scene prevented him from disturbing anyone nearby.

Peter 2 snickered as Peter 3 straightened. The younger brother blushed and glared at Two. "Ahare you trying to gehet us kicked ohout?"

"Sohorry, I'm just bored."

Three groaned. "Whyhy did you chohose tickling mehe?"

Two shrugged. "We do it all the time."

"Yes, at home! Not in a crowded movie theater."

"Are you saying you don't want tickles?"

Three turtled.

Two smiled. "If it's too much, I won't do it again."

Three glanced between his brother and the movie. He really was bored of the movie, and tickles did sound fun . . .

Three pulled his older brother's hand to his stomach. "Just keep it too my stomach. If you goho anywhere else, Ihi will squeal."

Two grinned. "Thank you Button."

The middle brother blushed at the nickname. Meanwhile, Two's hands spidered across Three's tummy making him squeak and giggle quietly.

"Yohou're so cute Button," Two teased.

"Shuhush!"

"I can't help it, youw're toow cuwte when youw're awl bwushy and wiggwy."

Peter Three felt his cheeks and ears flame.

"Look at that blush." Peter 2's hand slipped under Three's shirt. "Yohou're so flustered."

"Yohou're mahaking ihit wohorse!"

"Awww, Ihim sorry."

"Dohoubt ihit."

Two grinned. "But you lohove them Button." A finger wiggled into Peter 3's belly button. "Yohou and your giggle button."

Three squeaked and wiggled even more. He felt like he was going to explode.

Suddenly, the entire theater erupted into loud laughter. Two's hands moved and a raspberry was blown into Peter 3's stomach.

The younger Peter squealed and errupted into loud laughter. As the theater died back down so did Peter 3.

"Thank goodness. Ihi thought you were going to explode," Two teased.

"Thahank yohou."

"Need a break?"

"N-noho, yohou cahan keheep gohoing . . . ihif yohou wahant."

Two smiled. "Of course Button. Want me to still get your tummy?"

Three nodded and slid his shirt up.

"Awww." Two's hand returned to Three's stomach and began to gently skitter across. "Someone just loves tummy tickles."

Peter 3 was thankful for the low lightning that hid his firey red face from view. He did love tummy tickles, they were one of his favorite spots to be tickled on.

"Hey, let me know when you need a break okay?"

Three nodded again before falling back into quiet giggles. For the rest of the movie, Two and Three had their tickling fun.

When the final credits ran, Three was a blushy giggle mess. Not wanting to embarrass him too much, Peter Two quickly pulled his younger brother's shirt back into place and smoothed his hair back down. "Come on Button, the girls are waiting for us."

"Ihim cohoming, Ihim cohoming." Peter 3 stood.

"You good?" The oldest asked.

Three nodded and took a few cautious steps forward. Peter 2 followed close behind with the half eaten bucket of popcorn and lukewarm drinks.

Two tossed the bucket and drinks before wrapping his arm around his brother. Three jumped.

"It's okay, I'm not tickling you." Two soothed. "I just don't want to loose you."

"Okay, ohokay."

"I'm sorry if I went overboard. You seemed like you were having fun though."

"Ihi was," Three nudged his older brother's shoulder. "Ihit was aha blast."

"Glad you two enjoyed the movie," a voice piped up.

The two Peters turned to find MJ and Gwen nearing them.

Gwen's eyes widened at the sight of her boyfriend. "Are you alright?"

"Yehes I'm fine." Three slipped away from Two's side to wrap his arm around her in a side hug. "Thehere was just aha good joke I loved."

Gwen rolled her eyes. "I figured you would pick up on that one. I'll never hear the end of it now."

"Hohow would you know?"

"Becauhause I know you." Gwen teased and gave her boyfriend a quick kiss.

Meanwhile, MJ took in Three's blushy face, slightly uneven breathing, and giggly smile. "That wasn't the work of a joke," she whispered to her husband. "This was the work of Papa tickle monster."

"What did you expect? We were bored out of our minds," Two whispered back while a smile pulled at his lips.

"Ihi figured," MJ wrapped her arms around her husband's arm. "Atleast you two had fun."

"Come on you two lovebirds," Gwen teased. "Let's get going. Traffic's going to be awful."

And with that, the group headed home. Although, Gwen could never understand her boyfriend's love for the movie theater.
