Hi. First of all, you’re amazing and you’re doing God’s work for us. Second, could you please recommend me some time-travel fics? I think I already read a few well known ones, and was wondering if there’s more? Also, it’s usually both or Bucky who time-travels, is there fics where Steve goes alone instead?

Hello Stranger!

Thanks for the ask and your very kind words. I live to serve! 😉

Now. The first thing I need to do here, is to point you towards this excellent rec list by @voylitscope There are a lot of very good fics on it and I strongly recommend you check it out.

I also want to apologize again for the long wait. I had a busy week and when I finally sat down to put together this list, I realized fairly quickly that almost 90% of it was comprised of some sort of EG-Fix-It fics. Just the idea of writing up my thoughts on all of them felt exhausting and saddening to me, so I scrapped the whole thing and started over. So without further ado, here are 7 fics featuring timey-wimey stuff that I have read and very much enjoyed and 3 more that I've yet to read, but can't wait to get to because they look amazing:

sun peeking through the sky series by dontcallmebree | M, 16K (2 Parts)

Author's summary: Steve clears his throat, curling his hands into fists to hide them. “Alright, say I believe you. Hell, you’re here. So what?”

Scott pins him with an unshakable stare, alive and unyielding. He never realized Scott could be so intense. Sam was the one who knew Scott better, but then again, Sam was always the better one of the two of them. “Look, the place I was in—the quantum realm—it messes with time, it lets you go back.”

Steve wants to throw him out.

A post-IW, twice-over canon divergent series. In the first part, Scott and the Ant Fam (or what's left of it post-Snap) burst into a heavily depressed Steve's existence and slowly turn it into something resembling a life again, and together they hatch a plan to save the world. What that plan entails? I'm not going to spoil it here, but let's just say it's much more clever and original, not to mention more logical and emotionally satisfying than anything that happened in EG. It's a quietly humorous, suspenseful, heartbreaking, and at times brutally tender series about finding and accepting second chances when you least expect them.

To Live It Again Is Past All Endeavor by trinityofone | T, 21 K

Author's summary: Time travel bodyswap! Present-day Steve and Bucky wake up back in their old bodies in 1938, while past Steve and Bucky wake in a future where they're both built like comic book heroes and Bucky's got what he thinks is a swell future robot arm. Adventures are had, and the ethics of time travel are debated. Also, everyone trash talks Willem de Kooning.

A story that really drives home some hard emotional truths while never entirely losing its light touch. Accompany Steve and Bucky as they travel into the future AND the past, and discover their once and future selves. I call this fic "the clairvoyant one" because it features Steve and Bucky contemplating staying in the past and a subsequent discussion of the ethics and purpose of time travel that had me frantically scroll back up and check that, yes, this fic was indeed written all the way back in 2014. I then proceeded to lose my mind a little bit because it is such an eerily specific and accurate rebuttal to Steve's EG ending that I'm more than half convinced the author has clairvoyant abilities.

Where All Roads Lead by DrowningByDegrees | E, 46K

Author's summary: When Steve Rogers inadvertently touches a relic in the course of a mission gone sideways during WWII, he’s catapulted seventy years into the future. Before he's even sure where he's ended up, his search for help puts him in contact with Bucky Barnes, a historian and college professor who has built a career around studying Captain America. With Bucky's help, Steve means to find out how exactly he ended up in 2017, and solve the bigger mystery of how to get home. There's just one problem. The closer they get to their goal, the less certain Steve is that he wants to go home.

A Shrunkyclunks AU where Steve accidentally time travels straight from WW2 to the 21st Century. It's funny and heartbreaking, well-written and cleverly plotted. Also features beautiful art by alby_mangroves that not only beautifully augments the story, but actually is a part of it, too.

The Restoration Artist by superheroresin | E, 109K

Author's summary: As a conservator of rare oil paintings for The Met, Steve Rogers thinks of himself part scientist, part archaeologist, but hardly an artist in his own right. Only when he’s faced with the daunting task of restoring a frozen painting from a recently unearthed Nazi art hoard does he start to feel his passion for the craft return. Before he has a chance to understand what that means, Steve is transported to the 1940’s, where he meets both The Winter Soldier himself, and his own destiny.

A Shrinkyclinks AU in which art conservator Steve travels through time to save Bucky... who has been trapped in a painting...? Mystery! Romance! Art Talk! I practically inhaled this thing in one go, despite the length. This is a really lovely story, full of clever ideas and twist and turns that will keep you guessing. And on top of that you'll learn a whole lot about art restoration! What's not to love?

the world on fire by burlesquecomposer | M, 62K

Author’s summary: Steve loves old vinyl records, doodles on his files, and cannot remember a time that he didn't serve the TVA. And that suits him just fine—that is, until stray variant Bucky Barnes, fresh out of HYDRA's grasp, drops into his time theater and makes Steve question everything he believes in.

A really well written fic that has time travel and variants and alternate timelines and parallel universes and... you get it. A whole lot of timey wimey stuff, but the author keeps track of it all and ties up everything beautifully in the end. A super fun premise, clever plotting, wonderful characterizations, and a firm grasp on the SteveBucky dynamic in every incarnation/iteration/variation. It's a really lovely fic and I think it deserves a lot more love and attention.

On the Cover of Dawn by adeepeningdig | T, 6K

Author's summary: “Listen,” Bucky says again, and pads to Steve, book still in hand. “I’d sell my soul for that/fawn/of a boy night walker/to sound of the ‘ud & flute playing/who saw the glass in my hand said/“drink the wine from between my lips.” He kisses Steve then, insistent, tongue sweeping into his mouth, body to body. Steve buckles beneath it. Two stories. One poem.

I'm cheating a little with this one... maybe. To be perfectly honest, I don't really know what's going on here even after I read this several times. Is it time travel? An alternate universe? Reincarnation? None of it at all? The thing is, I'm not sure the reader is meant to definitively know or understand what exactly is happening, and ultimately, it doesn't really matter. What does matter is the poignancy, the beautiful, at times lyrical language, and the reassurance that Steve and Bucky will find and love each other in every possible universe and incarnation. Also features one of my favorite George Barnes scenes ever.

From Tralfamadore, With Love by newsbypostcard | E, 106K | Part 1 in From Tralfamadore series

Author's summary: In 2018, Steve, Sam, and Bucky embark on a mission to explore a Hydra-owned warehouse when a kid with mutant powers sends Steve 18 years into the future. Steve's just as in love with Bucky as he was when he left, but for Bucky it's been a long 18 years. As he gets used to life in 2036 and the flaws in Bucky's idyllic life expose themselves, Steve also has to manage a suspiciously ubiquitous security force, a Brotherhood of Mutants, and old competing loyalties among his aged friends. There's a Bucky in 2018 waiting for him to come home, but if he does that, it means leaving this Bucky behind for a third, unforgivable time. How can he choose?

Yes yes, I recced this not too long ago, I know. But there is simply no way in hell that I'm going to put together a time travel rec list and NOT include this fic. The summary is pretty self-explanatory, and I really don't want to reveal anymore than that. Much of the tension and emotional drama in this fic comes from not knowing what's going to happen, and from desperately guessing at how on earth the author is going to solve Steve's impossible dilemma. I loved the way the author explored the relationship of a Steve and a Bucky who have been separated for two seconds and 18 years, respectively. Also, possibly the best use of a Fleetwood Mac song in fanfic ever.

🕰 +3 To Reads:

Savage God by PottersPink | M, 36K

Author's summary: Past, present, future, Steve knows Bucky Barnes. It’s why he recognized him when he found him in that alley in April of 1942, even though Bucky was older, stronger, wearier; he called himself The Asset, and had a metal fucking arm. The Asset was only with Steve in 1942 for a few days, but it’s enough to change the course of Steve’s life forever.

Seventy years later, Steve wakes up in the twenty-first century, and he doesn’t know whether to be heartbroken or hopeful when some of the things Bucky revealed to him in 1942 start falling into place.

Every You, Every Me by Starshot | E, 48K

Author's summary: Desperate to follow when Bucky ships out to war in 1943, Steve volunteers for Project Rebirth, an experimental program meant to turn him into the world’s first super-soldier. Instead it fails, leaving him with a condition dubbed “Chrono-Impairment” which sees him travelling uncontrollably through time, to random points in both his and Bucky’s lives.

But with Bucky brainwashed into working for HYDRA, and Steve living life on the run, torn between his own time and Bucky’s, will they ever find the happy ending they so desperately desire? (AKA the Stucky AU based on the book, "The Time Traveler’s Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger)

a day in the life by powerfulowl (StuckyFlangst) E, 20K

Author's summary: Steve wakes to the sound of someone moving about in the kitchen below him. He lies for a few moments, trying to recall—a dream?

He looks over at the nightstand and there is a piece of card propped up there. He reaches out to take it.

You are Captain America. You are Steve Rogers. It is 1956. You are married to Peggy Rogers, nee Carter. You live in New Jersey. Sometimes you have trouble remembering.

Steve Rogers wakes up on Tuesday October 30 1956, and doesn't seem to remember his life that well. Why does every day feel so familiar? And why does he keep getting visited by tall, dark, handsome men who remind him of Bucky?

In honor of 6 years of Infinity War and 5 years of Endgame, it's time....

It's FINALLY time for my back-to-back rewatch. I did some digging and I haven't watched Infinity War since May 2021, and I haven't watched Endgame since DECEMBER 2019. WHAT THE HELL???

So, yeah watch this space!!

Infinity War Rewatch

Gawd, I don't know if the beginning it going to hurt more or less knowing what happens to Loki....

They did Heimdall so dirty idc

MY BABYGIRL 😭😭😭 (OG Loki)

Loki saying "We have a hulk" means so much to meeee 😭

"IF I MIGHT INTERJECT" BITCH YOU MIGHT HAVE LIVED!!!

The fact that Thor's last words to Loki were "You really are the worst, Brother" probably haunted Thor for so long, and that HURTS.

I will say one of the best things to come out of the Loki series is that all the theories we had about Loki faking his death and actually being alive were actually validated! Yes, Sacred Timeline Loki died, but there was a version that tricked Thanos and lived.

Tony said "no more surprises" to Pepper and then he was in space for weeks/months (can't remember exactly) and came back nearly dead - You get why he fucked off for 5 years.

THE STANNER HUG, PEOPLE DIED.

Tony and Cap "we're not on speaking terms" but he apparently carried the flip phone everywhere for two years? 🥲

STAN LEE 😭😭 We miss you sir.

I wonder if Chris Pratt's downfall actually started with Peter Quill screwing up everything in this movie 😭🤣

I will say, I really enjoy that at least the beginning of IW has a lot of comic relief. I feel like Endgame was more serious overall.

Man I can't remember, how did any of the Asgardians survive Thanos' attack?

BEARDED CAP - THE SEXIEST A MAN HAS EVER LOOKED!!

NATASHA ROMANOFF I LOVE YOU!

"There's an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man?" I love you Bruce.

The couple parallels? Stange+Stark and Thor+Quill with battling egos, Quill+Gamora and Wanda+Vision both trying to self-sacrifice with the other not wanting to give them up.

Chris H truly gave such a great performance as heartbroken Thor 🥺

"Does it have a name?" "Stormbreaker." "It's a bit much."

"Kick names, take ass."

The gasp when Red Skull came back!!

Cap says we're going "home" but Sam implies that they haven't been to Wakanda. For Cap, "home" meant Bucky 🥺

"SEMI-STABLE 100 YEAR OLD MAN" Buckkyyy

There's definitely something sweet about Bruce being in the Hulk Buster!

"It'll kill you." "Only if I die!" "Yes, that's what... killing you means...." NEVER NOT FUNNY

I mean, Strombreaker being made out of fucking Groot is pretty badass.

THOR'S ENTRANCE!!! BITCH HE LIVED!!!!

"She's not alone." I don't care if it's cringe, I love a girl power moment!! It shows how far we've come!! There no longer just has to be one girl superhero!!

Thor my golden boy, you were so close 😭😭😭

HERE IT COMES...... I'll never forget the gasps in the theater when everyone started dusting....

And now after watching GOTG3 it's so much worse that Groot goes in front of Rocket 😭

Tony and Nebula being the last survivors was inspired.

Me: What was the post credit scene again? Ohhhh yeahhhh, the Captain Marvel teaser! Of course.

And thats Infinity War! I'll be back tomorrow for Endgame! 🖤🖤

Endgame Rewatch

CLINT I MISSED YOU!!!

Lila could have been the next Hawkeye if she hadn't been dusted 🥲

Tony and Nebula 😭😭😭

Tony working with Nebula to save them mirroring Tony building Iron Man in the cave to save himself 😭

Steve Rodgers: From "language" to "son of a bitch" MY BOY HAS GROWN

GAY JOE RUSSO!!

Don't get me started on bringing back Peggy DON'T GET ME STARTED 😤

And DON'T get me started on the symbolism of Nat's hair!! In each movie, she has perfectly intentional hair. Except now that they've lost their mission, he lets her hair grow out. She can't let go of the blonde. The blonde that reminds her what they're fighting for. Of her failure, but also for the last time she saw everyone. The last time things were normal.

The rat being the savior of the universe!

Dad Tony 😭 I'm kinda surprised Morgan hasn't made another appearance yet. Maybe when she's a bit older...

Time Heist!!!

Remember when I was afraid that them traveling in time would mess up the timeline and make it so Morgan wasn't born? God that would've been rough.

I love that now the kids love Hulk though 🥹 "Dab!" He deserves this!!

Man, Pepper and Tony really love each other so much 🥺 Peper knew Tony might not make it back. But she also knew Tony wouldn't be able to live with himself if he didn't try.

Oh no, how did I forget about Bruce and Rocket going to get Thor? 😭

The Russos were so sick for making Thor's trauma a joke. However I kinda understand why they did it because otherwise it would have been WAY too dark.

The amount of regret Clint must have felt after Nat died and he realized he could have spent the last five years with her and chose not to.

Scott being the only one invested in Thor's story 😭

The elevator scene!!! "Hail Hydra" everyone was GAGGED!!!

There goes my baby girl to meet the love of his life 🥹 (Loki stealing the cube)

Thor's smile when he gets Mjnolnir 🥹 "I'm still worthy." Yes you are ❤️

"Make love, not war!" ✌️

Ugh, the double Nebula thing is really annoying. I guess they had to do it to get Thanos in the mix but ehhh.

THE OG BIG THREE!!! And Thor's transformation with Mjnolnir and Stormbreaker! So badass!

When Strange signals ☝️ to Tony, is he saying Carol was their one chance to win, or was he just telling Tony, this is it?

The fact that Peter basically became an Avenger and then lost Tony in one day 😭

The fact that Chadwick was sick when they were filming these movies kills me 😥

Happy taking care of Morgan 😭😭

I still love that they brought Harley back 🥹

Bucky knew Steve wasn't gonna come back. He knew he was gonna choose Peggy over him 💔

"No, I don't think I will" - I wonder if they knew this line would become a meme hahaha

So, did past Steve and Peggy have kids? This feels like it could be a potential plot point.

MY FAVORITE END CREDITS!! I still tear up every time 🥺 The Original 6 just mean so much to me 😭

Also I noticed for Tom Hiddleston's clip they chose Prince Loki in his golden horns, not villain Loki. That's a nice touch. 💚

And there ends an era. Are there things that annoyed me? Yes, but overall I still feel like it was a solid ending for Tony and Cap (and Natasha but we got the Black Widow movie after).

#wheeeee #Endgame #Avengers Endgame #Infinity War #Avengers #Marvel #Avengers Era #MCU #Infinity War Rewatch #Endgame Rewatch #Infinity Saga #IW #Marvel rewatch #Marvel liveblog #Endgame liveblog #Infinity War liveblog

I totally understand your rage quitting now, although it's exactly the opposite for me! I was *very* into the Asgardian storyline in MCU and I hated Ragnarok with a passion - and the fandom sure made certain I knew everybody who didn't like the movie was an Idiot. Then IW and EG happened and killed all my joy for the MCU. I kinda sorta look at it without flinching nowadays, but it took somewhere around 5 years...

I think I know more people who went MCU --> Star Wars than the other way around! Weird couple of years for both fandoms. I'm a little bit of a weird outlier because I got back into Marvel well after Endgame, but a lot of what people criticize about the MCU is what I find interesting (the puzzle piece aspect). I am well aware that if I'd been consistently in Marvel since 2014 (which is when I drifted off) I'd probably have had the same rage reaction as like...everyone else I know.

I guess it's been a minute and my SW history isn't common knowledge to people who weren't around here between 2013-2021, so the lingering fury is probably confusing to people who only know me from the MCU. I was big into Star Wars from 2013-2021, from 2013-2015 on the PT/TCW side, then from 2014-2021 on the Rebels side (there's crossover), though I was also familiar with...everything. I have forgotten more about Star Wars than your average SW fan has ever known. (I was also in and out from 2007-2013, which is when some of my earlier fic like Oxygen and Rust dates from, but this is a period of time when my big fandom was actually Narnia) I'm quote-unquote "known" for Wake the Storm and Queen's Gambit in the PT/TCW, which have very consistently garnered negative responses since Wake started in 2013, and On the Edge of the Devil's Backbone in Rebels; I also used to do liveblogs of TCW and Rebels and the comics, for a while, so some of those posts are still floating around. I had a very, very bad breakup with a close fandom friend in 2016. I bounced off the ST, had an extremely negative reaction to Rebels S4 (to this day I have refused to do a full reaction post because I hated it so much I can't think about it coherently, and there were years where I couldn't think about it without spiraling), was okay with Resistance, R1, and Solo, hated Mando, hated TCW S7, hated the comics, hated the High Republic, and was still grimly hanging onto the fandom in utter misery in 2021 when the combination of hating TBB's sheer mediocrity (and the way they retconned Rebels) and the first episode of Loki hitting all of my favorite tropes like a fucking train finally knocked me out of Star Wars, to the extreme relief of everyone who knew me.

to this day I have fannish friends (who I met through Star Wars!) ready to stage an intervention if I ever seem even vaguely interested in getting back into Star Wars. I am the only person I know who looked at the Marvel fandom post-Endgame (and the Loki subfandom at any point in time, but especially while the show was airing) and went "this seems like a nice soothing place to immigrate to!" and honestly it is, people aren't as crazy anymore as they were around CW and Endgame. (Except in the Loki subfandom, which has made even me go "hmm. that's a bit much," but then I remember the egg genocide and you guys are fine, actually.)

very amusingly I actually speed-ran the Rebels experience with the Loki show -- really liked the first half, really disliked the second half -- but by that point I'd already gotten back into the rest of the MCU. I hadn't had a dramatic MCU breakup at all; I'd kept up with the films from 2008-2014 (CATWS was the last one I saw in order), but I just hadn't gotten around to seeing more than three odd ones out between 2014 and 2021 (Ragnarok, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and then I saw WandaVision early in 2021). I fandom osmosed some weird stuff that turned out not to be true.

anyway for those that don't know, that's the short version of my sordid Star Wars history! also sorry, you didn't actually, uh, ask for this.

#re rebels #however badly you think i reacted to it i assure you i reacted considerably worse #every day I know less about what's going on in sw and that's great #though I still know a fair amount because it's not like I cut ties with most people #for example: I refuse to even watch the ahsoka show's trailers but I've seen stills and stuff because I'm still in cosplay groups #and unfortunately even thinking about it makes me black out in rage which is not healthy #I do still go on the occasional star wars rant but I try to keep it down to once every couple of weeks #did one a couple of days ago #my entire fannish experience these days is geared towards not replicating my sw experience so I'm VERY cautious with marvel #I need to go back to my star wars destash #situation's still bad #I've got serious money collectibles that thinking about dealing with is exhausting #darth canthre #bedlam replies

💕 reader turns into a baby and obsessed with Bucky. Awww 🥺

Infant Issues

bucky barnes x reader / masterlist

warnings; fluff, morgan definitely being tony’s kid, biting, swearing, spoilers for IW and Endgame, mention of the blip, childish behaviour from adults, terrible humour (I really am sorry), spoiler for WV, mention of age gap, kinda a crossover, an absolute mess 😂

“Morgan?” Bucky frowned, as the girl tried to speed past him. It was not wise for anyone to allow the mischievous child run around the compound alone, she always got up to nothing but trouble, and there was such a glazing in her brown eyes.

She didn’t spare him a glance, instead, she bolted, causing the super soldier to sigh. He would have went after her if there weren’t already footsteps recurring from the path that she had just came from; it was his father. It so happened that there was a bundle of joy in his arms, crying like the sudden crack of dawn.

“What were you going to do, wait another five years to tell everyone about this one, Stark?” Bucky asked with a chuckle, though the cries from the infant muted at the sound of his voice. The child wiggled in Tony’s grasp, trying her utmost to reach out for the vibranium armed hero.

“She’s not my daughter, if she was, I think me and you would be having conversations.” Tony’s words spurred a frown to combust out onto Barnes’ face, and the billionaire sighed, shifting the baby so that the baby was in Bucky’s arms.

The child cooed up at him, her eyes were a baby blue, sure to avert possibly into a different colour once she grew elder. “Look, I didn’t ask if I could hold her, she’s cute, but why do you-“

“Morgan did it.” Tony willingly blamed his own daughter. With her various experimentations, she was definitely taking after him. He’d be sure to keep this one quiet from Pepper, otherwise he was almost certain that he’d be banned from bringing Morgan on expeditions to the compound.

“I though y/n was supposed to be watching her.” Stated the enhanced soldier, cocking his head at the information that he recalled. He promptly remembered you abandoning him half way through training the newbie recruits, because Happy was dropping Morgan off, and you had offered watch over her, despite the associate being there.

“She was, and now you’re going to have to watch over her.” Tony pointed specifically to the child in his arms, and that was when realisation hit Bucky. He gulped, breathing through his nose to calm himself, as all the pieces clicked perfectly together.

This was not just a child - it was you. As he gazed down at you, he could finally see the pouted expression that would fixate upon your face when you paid attention to him when you were drunk, there was a glazing over your eyes as you raised your small and innocent hands, scraping down the stubble of his chin, as you curled further into his arms.

“I am going to kill you.” He steadily spoke, huffing as Sam went to walk past, but stopped himself when he saw the bundle of joy that was content in the brooding soldier’s arms.

“What the hell! Did you and y/n have a baby or something without telling anyone?” Oh, how he wished those were the circumstances, and if the pair of you were to ever have a child together, then he would be impartial to the idea of doing so.

"This is not my child, it's y/n, thanks to Stark over there." He bounced you in his arms, he even felt a small dribble of spit seep through his shirt, but he didn't mind, not as his icy glare was intently prized upon the philanthropist.

"Hey, it was my daughter's fault, not mine!" Tony excused himself from the blame, holding his palm against his chest, as he received as such. Sam ogled at him for a second, before returning his attention back into Bucky, and little you.

He came forwards, reaching his hand towards you, keening as you went to grasp his. As you did so, a smile broke out upon the man’s face, until it contorted into a sharp frown, the noise of a yelp escaping from his lips. “That little bitch bit me.”

“Language.” Steve rounded the corner, his golden brows raising when he saw the infant contently resting in his best friend’s arms. “Did you and y/n have a baby without telling us?”

“That’s what I said!” Sam beckoned to the blonde, as he averted a strong gaze to you and your normal sized partner. "Until she bit me, it reminds me of that time that I tried to steal her fries."

"I don't see why your complaining." Bucky rolled his eyes, bracing you up straighter so that your forehead was pressed lightly against his shoulder. "I'm the one whose partner is an actual child."

"Yeah, tell me about it." Sam rolled his eyes in reference to how you were beforehand, before Steve cut in, directing his leading tone towards the men that were stood idly by.

"What actually happened?" Tony found his enquiry to be an opportunity to avert the fault from himself; how lucky indeed was it that Steve asked such a thing.

"Technically it's your fault capsicle. Morgan found your prototype of your unsuccessful time machine. As you can see, she turned into a baby, much like Lang. And if you want to push the blame off of yourself, blame these two for their asses disappearing."

"Hey, if I wanted to disappear, I wouldn't have made such a dramatic exit. I'd have just left for my sister's." Crossing his arms, Sam shook his head at the man that was not wearing his iron suit. He was unable to take any responsibility, unless it was for his genius brain wave of creating the true transportation for the time heist.

"Well I'm going to keep that noted for any future repercussions." Oh, how Wilson regretting mentioning that now.

"You left it out, within your daughter's reach." Bucky quirked his brow, as he prepared to head towards the storage of the private laboratory that was shared between the two science bros.

"Technically, that was the big green guy." Bucky vouched not to listen to Stark, instead, he continued to walk, leaving the three other men in his rear view, though for the most part, he could still hear them bickering.

"Maybe we should turn you into a baby, I doubt much would change."

"Maybe we should turn you into a baby, I doubt much would change." Tony mimicked Steve, thus only proving his point. He was certainly a man that enjoyed pressing people's buttons, it was a shining attribute of the once playboy, and god, did it annoy the hell out of Barnes.

As he entered the laboratory, he found the lab to be in a state of havoc. "Hey, it wasn't me this time." Scott laughed, as he used an extinguisher against the frayed machine, that was blubbering sparks from its ruined exterior.

"Smash!" A small green child, wearing glasses that were far too big for him, ran across the room, followed shortly by a child with long blonde hair wrapped up in a red cape, as though it were some kind of makeshift diaper.

"Explain." Bucky bluntly stated, clenching his jaw, as he cooed lightly at your cries that pierced the air. He bounced you in his arms, not quite certain of what he was supposed to do.

In his time, there wasn't exactly an education system to teach the men going to war how to parent, or even care for a child. A part of him panicked; it was you, he hated seeing you cry in general, but now he couldn't attempt to find out the cause for your falling tears.

"Aw is that y/n?" The man half dressed in his ant man suit asked, a bright smile on his face, as he reached out to hold you. To say Bucky was hesitant to pass you to him was an understatement. "I have a daughter, I've looked after a baby before."

"From jail?" The white wolf asked, as he heard a crash exhibit from the connecting room, obviously being the fault of the two most destructive avengers, or at least, their little versions. Being aged down was definitely certification for trouble, everyone knew that.

"Okay I wasn't in there for that long." Scott reassured him, he picked up a bottle of milk from the table, handing it to the metal armed man, whom had never fed a child before. He found himself, cautiously, keeping a watchful eye, passing you over to the former criminal, intently watching every movement that the man made.

Lange simply fed you. "Always thought you and y/n would have a cute baby, imagine its- oh yeah, well after all that stuff that happened with vision and SWORD, we thought it best to destroy any technology that was recovered from the old base. This part survived, and well, I went into its- okay, you don't want to hear the science, but basically Thor insisted he could break it with his hammer, albeit whilst I was inside of it, and it sent energy around the room that turned them into pubescent children."

"I can see that it did nothing to you. And I thought Morgan did it.”

"I was so relieved, lucky I- wait, was that an insult?" Bucky remained primitively silent, and that answered Scott's question. The hero sighed, as you finished nursing, and your arms reached for Bucky, to whom he passed you to. “And I lied...”

He literally blamed a five year old for the screw up of grown men. Tony was going to thrive off this information, whence he knew that his daughter was in fact not the culprit.

"What do we do now?" He was eager to find a cure for this betrothed science. Those whom were responsible for your decrease in age, well, one was running around the compound, and the other, well, he was even younger than Morgan currently.

"You could wait twenty years, I mean you two already have quite a big age gap, and please don't kill me. I'm not sure that Cap would approve, I am a vital source to the team!"

"I'm not going to kill you tic tac. Or at least not at least until we fix these three."

"Phew." Scott wiped his brow, blowing air from his mouth. "Wait thre- oh yeah, the little guy carrying the hammer that is bigger than himself, and the

"Okay, we need someone smarter." Bucky sighed heavily, as he hugged you in thought. "You tried hitting it again with the hammer?"

"Oh my god, I could be worthy!" Gasped Scott, running off to the next room, only to come back limping, a pained expression on his face. "Little Asguardian bastard hit me!"

Bucky contained his smirk, and instead passed you to Lang, venturing into the other part of the lab, finding that Bruce was asleep, a blob of snot hanging from his nose, he could see the hammer in the middle of the room, almost as though it were waiting for him to attempt grabbing the handle, and Thor was-

The minuscule god jumped from one of the shelves, wrapping his arms around the front of Bucky’s neck, as he put all his weight on the super soldier’s back. In all practicality, Thor was strangling him, and Bucky tapped his arm, trying to convince him to let go.

“I know who Noobmaster69 is.” Thor quirked his head, lessening his hold, as he promptly awaited his now older friend to continue. “It’s, its- his name is Wade Wilson.”

“Wilson!” No, gosh no. Bucky stood completely, making sure to keep Thor in the vicinity, he needed him to be so so that he could reverse the affects on the son of Odin.

“Not Sam. Wade.” He had never met the man before, but god did he seem like a dick. When the pair of you were getting a taxi, the driver Dopinder just could not shut up about his friend, who liked to wear red, and had a kink for unicorns.

Wade certainly sounded like a weird one, but right now, his pass time was getting Thor to pick up that hammer. “Where can I find this Wade?” It practically left his mouth as a hiss, if the imagery and proven death supposed otherwise, he’d possibly think it was Loki instead.

“I will tell you, if you pick up that hammer, and hit it against that old machine. Got it buddy?”

“It’s name is Stormbreaker!” Bellowed the norseman, who tried to slide off his back, but Bucky kept a hold of his legs, refraining him from going anywhere. “Get peter to do it, I don’t want to play that game anymore!”

“Uuh, hi Mr Barnes...” That voice, oh he knew it, and the majority of the time it irritated him, he was Tony's little pet. “And, baby avengers?”

“Don’t ask kid.” Peter nodded, as he went to reach for a spanner. “Can you pick the hammer up, are you worthy?”

“Am I worthy?” He wondered aloud, his eyes fixated on the hammer, as he stepped towards it, holding his hand out, and clasping his palm around the handle, it feeling weightless in his grip, as he picked it up without effort. “Oh my god (it’s Robert Downey Junior)!”

“Great, now take it out there, I’ll deal with these two. And don’t do anything yet.” He was certainly feeling like a sergeant, throwing all the orders to the others, Peter complied, carrying the hammer as though it were an empty duffel.

“Can I try?” Instantly, after Peter passing it to him, Scott had such hope, until the force of gravity hit, and it fell on his foot, causing a light scream to ripple through his throat. “Get it off, get it off!”

Peter did so, as Bucky kept Thor on his shoulders, and grabbed a hold of Bruce’s chubby little ankle, dragging him into the other room. “Shit he’s heavy.” He saw that you were sat in the grand spinny chair, making Bucky relived that you weren’t in Lang’s arms as he attempted to have a moment of worthiness.

“What’d you do, go all Winter soldier on his ass and knock him out?!” Half screamed the prodigy of Hank Pym.

“Of course not, I think Thor did it.”

“Oh yeah, blame the kid because I did the same.”

“Put your suit from Stark on kid, unless you want to become a fetus.” Bucky ignored Scott for the moment,

“I got Hope to send her outfit, it will stretch to accommodate you, but I also think it would hug your shape nicely.”

“That was fast.” Muttered Peter, and Bucky shook his head, eyeing the outfit with weird eyes.

“I’m crazy, but not crazy enough to wear that.” Sighing, he grasped it in his hands, walking to the other room to squeeze into it. He noticed you watching, and thus he turned the chair around so that you couldn’t see anything. Little did he realise until he came out, that you had spun it around again, and was giggling. “Don’t laugh at me, or you won’t be allowed to see it when you’re returned to normal.”

A pout settled on your small lips, and it appeared as though you were getting ready to cry again, but before you could do so, a distraction intervened. An uninvited, and confusing one.

“Stop. Can I just say, that is some cruel declaration for the both of you, you’re my fave ship, after me and Hugh Jackman of course, but he doesn’t even know that this version of me exists.” A newfound imposter called out, his arms raised in the air. Leather gloves crinkled as he twitched his fingers, his white eyes freaking Scott the fuck out. “May I join you on this journey? I read about you guys in comics. And can I just say, I want to see these hunks and that hottie all grown up.”

“You want to see me go Winter Soldier on someone Lang?” Bucky gritted his teeth, prepared to murder this man for ever posing such words about you into the open air. Him speaking obviously drew some attention to him though, but it was not his rage that was mentioned, instead, it was his attire- or well, Hope’s.

“Nice suit Buck Buck. Can you do a twirl for me, I wanna see if it competes with America’s ass. Damn, does that man have some buns on him.”

“I know right!” Scott eagerly agreed, earning a smack in the nuts, to which had made him close to crumbling.“You had to use the metal hand, didn’t you.” Whimpered the Ant to the false Wasp, clamping his hands over his goods as he half hunched over. “I thought you often forgot to use it coz your right handed.”

“You’re on my left.” Gross, he sounded like Sam.

“Who the hell are you?” Thor spoke, and it felt familiar on his tongue. It was as though he had asked an enemy the same thing before...

“I, am Noobmaster69.”

“Hi, I’m Peter. Oh, we’re using our made up names, I thought Sam said it was that guy from that tech place.” Peter scratched his head through the mask, providing a small verbal distraction, as Thor willingly set himself free, launching at the intruder, whilst snatching the hammer from a suited up Peter.

“Aaasrrrghh.” He screamed like a true deity of the vikings.

“Thor, no!” Lang screamed, knowing that he’d have to come up with another excuse. The cameras had been fused whence Thor had first struck the hammer in the room, and it abused the guy in the red suit as he went for his legs, attacking the friend of Dopinder.

okay i'm really awkward but i just wanted to let you know that i'm really enjoying tra. like the other anon before, i really like how you're promoting that neither reader nor jungkook is perfect - as they title suggests, they are BOTH rotten apples. personally, that's one of the reasons why i support jk x oc all the way - the character development in them both is significant and i really am looking forward to seeing the future for them. i also really like jimin! (1/7)

even though i don’t ship him and the reader, per se, i think that their friendship is really important and, often, a friendship can be just as good as a relationship, if not better. another character that i like is noori. (lbr i like them all but i’m going to gush shh.) the actions of the reader and jungkook towards her have been shitty, in a way, but i like how you’ve made it clear that she’s not perfect either. (2/7)

each character in the story is perfectly flawed, and that’s the mark of a good writer. none of them are perfect, and you don’t even pretend that they’re all ‘good’ people, whatever that would mean. as a reader, i really appreciate that. i appreciate the ability to be able to form my own judgements towards the characters and like or dislike them as i please, without being told that 'this is the hero, this is the villain, etc’. (3/7)

from what i’ve read so far, each character is morally grey, and, to gush and be perfectly honest, that’s rare in writing. none of them are particularly evil people, but they make mistakes, and they suffer the repercussions for their actions. the reader has a strained relationship between herself and noori because of the betrayal - maybe noori 'overreacted’ at the news of oc and jk, but she truly believed that oc was supporting her in her mission to win jk’s heart. (4/7)

thus, from what it seems to me, it’s not the actual act of catching jungkook and the reader together that crushes her, but rather the fact that she seems to be more annoyed at herself for not realising it. there’s the chance that she suspects that the oc and jungkook have been laughing behind her back because of how 'dumb’ she was for not seeing their… 'relationship’, and that’s a bigger betrayal than actually seeing them together. (5/7)

for noori, friendship and loyalty seem to be extremely important. she’s probably the 'best’ character in the series at this point, in terms of morality. she loves and wants to protect all of her friends, including protecting them from each other. as a reader, i am under the impression that noori doesn’t genuinely want to hurt jk or the reader, but at the moment where pt 4 ended, her tensions were running high and she had no idea how to react. (6/7)

WOW OKAY I’M GOING TO STOP BEFORE I GET ANNOYING BUT YES I LOVE THE SERIES AND I HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO SAY BUT LIKE I SAID I’M AWKWARD BYE YOU’VE DONE WELL I LOVE IT (7/7)

IM AMAZED THAT I GOT ALL THESE MESSAGES W/O TUMBLR EATING A SINGLE ONE!!!!! but wow omg thank you so much!!!!! please i dont mind long msgs because i love hearing what u guys have to say!!!!!! im so glad u guys appreciate the effort i put into characters :-((( sometimes i wonder if like i put in too much effort but then i get messages like this and it shows me some ppl notice and appreciate them!!!!! im really glad u guys like how flawed jungkook and the oc are!!!!!! idk i just LOVE flawed characters. im very excited for taehyung because hes way worse than jungkook ever was LMAO but tysm for not immediately disliking noori!!!! its hard to sympathize w all the characters n not immediately hate them so thank you!!!!! ty for being so patient and sending me this kind message!!!!!

rangshi hcs?

these are going to be Very specific but <3 thats okay because iw ant to talk about the proposal process

the moment rangi met kyoshi i think she had an immediate crush and that only grew the more time she spent around kyoshi. rangi was yun’s bodyguard first, but she would always make excuses to spend time around kyoshi and like. yun, who also had a huge crush on kyoshi was just as eager to make up random reasons why the both of them needed to go for a walk with kyoshi around the village.

so you have rangi, who immediatley knew she liked kyoshi and then spends All The Time with her and basically rangi figures out pretty quickly she wants to spend the rest of her life with kyoshi. remember when aang came out of the iceberg (there’s a closet joke to be made there) and he saw katara and knew that was it? rangi’s like that

so really it was obvious rangi was going to follow kyoshi anywhere. and i think that because kyoshi and rangi meet when they’re still teenagers - like the “she would not be kyoshi without rangi” quote - they’re so fundamental to each other’s growth. they become adults together. they would not have grown into the people they are without each other.

and rangi at age 16 knows this before she and kyoshi even get together. i think yun and rangi used to daydream together about their dream dates with kyoshi and one day rangi was like, “kyoshi and i will get married as the flowers open in the morning to show how we will always grow with each other” and yun goes um rangi what

they obviously both understand, like even in canon, that they are in love and going to get married one day but because they are both silly romantics they each have their own plan to propose

so rangi figures she’ll be the one to propose to kyoshi because obviously she has this perfect vision of everything

except everytime rangi tries to bring it up she chickens out and has to reroute

meanwhile, kyoshi has already asked hei-ran for permission and has a time and date and place picked out and know exactly how she’s going to ask. rangi does not know this is going on and hei-ran is 😌😌 you are going to be happy you fool please stay still and wait for kyoshi to propose...

it finally happens when rangi and kyoshi are taking a day to themsleves and kyoshi has rangi go for a walk with her and kyoshi, who has spent Days working on this stupid poem after calling in help from many previous avatars, jinpa, the flying opera company and anyone who would listen, holds rangi’s hands and whispers a love poem to her about the both of them and how kyoshi feels about rangi and rangi is like massive angry blush because she know’s whats going on and she wanted to be the one to propose!!

so she kisses kyoshi’s cheek (with light anger) and tells kyoshi that she wants to kiss her cheek for the rest of their life together and then kyoshi flushes and gets flustered because while rangi was a little angry about being beaten to it, kyoshi thinks this is kinda the sweetest thing ever

and then they spend the rest of their day together teasing each other and sneaking kisses as they talk about the future they are going to share together

later, they will tell their friends and celebrate, but for the moment they bask in their time alone with the other and share open easy smiles

Hi. Do u have a list of when the CW, HC, IW, Endgame, and FFH happened? The MCU timeline is an utter mess. HC happened around Sep 2016. If it started 2 months after CW, it means CW took place in June (before Peter's birthday that's why Tony thought he was still 14 in HC). The school year would've already ended atm, but why did Peter say he had homework? Then IW happened in 2018, but which months? All I know it's; 1) before Aug, bcs Tony said his wedding decoy date was Aug 27, (cont.)

(cont.) 2) after Jan, bcs Betty said they already took their midterm test before The Snap. And then Endgame happened 5 years later (2023). Was that exactly 5 years or 5 years and few months? We know FFH happened during summer (June 2024). If it took place 8 months after The 2nd Snap, it means Endgame took place in Oct 2023? But how long it took for the Avengers to build the time travel machine? When did exactly Scott return? Sept? Ugh. Please help me clear my mind or I might implode. Thanks!

Hi!

I answered something similar to this here and here. In one of those, I posted the official timeline Marvel created after Homecoming.

1942 - 1945: Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) 1995: Captain Marvel (2019) 2009: Iron Man (2008) 2010: Iron Man 2 (2010), The Incredible Hulk (2011), Thor (2011) 2012: The Avengers (2012), Iron Man 3 (2013) 2013: Thor: The Dark World (2013) 2014: Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) 2015: Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Ant-Man (2015) 2016: Captain America: Civil War (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Black Panther (2018) 2016 - 2017: Doctor Stranger (2016) 2017: Thor: Ragnarok (2017) 2018: Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Ant-Man & the Wasp (2018) 2019: Avengers: Endgame (2019), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

The years on the left are the MCU timeline and the years between parentheses is the release date of the movies.

Civil War and Homecoming happened in 2016. Peter says he has homework in CW because as established in the timeline site, in June 2019, which has the same days of the week as June 2024, New York high schools finished on June 26th. And Tony met Peter on May 23, 2016.

Infinity War took place two years after CW and HOCO. Endgame started on October 3rd

Scott returns this day. Endgame begins in mid-2018 then the five years later jump happens, making it 2023. In the movie they confirm this, Ebony Maw from 2014 says that Nebula has come from ‘9 years in the future’. On October 9, they start working on the time travel theory Scott told them about, so between the 9th and the 16th, they’re working on the time machine/time heist.

In Infinity War, they reveal the decoy date for Tony and Pepper’s wedding: August 27th. And Infinity War starts mid-to-late May 2018, late April-early May 2018.

Here’s the MCU timeline with detailed facts and events from 2016. If you want to see more years, just change the year in the ‘timeline’ tag.

In FFH, Betty references the last day of their school before summer in June, and it’s mentioned that they were brought back 8 months ago. So you’re absolutely right, Endgame took place in October 2023. On October 27th, Peter comes back to school to reunite with Ned.

I don’t know why but it’s always the Spider-Man movies making the mistakes when it comes to dates. Here’s an example: they showed that the decathlon competition was on October 13-15, 2016 and then later they changed that to September 14, 2016.

In the first image, you can see the poster at the beginning of the movie and the second one was when Peter was about to ask if he could come back to the decathlon team before the competition. So you’re right when you say CW took place in June. Between May and June. The events of the airport happened in June 2016 and Tony visited Peter in May 2016 because that’s when he got Peter’s passport.

And yes, you’re right when you say Tony thought Peter was still 14 because Peter’s birthday is on August 10 and Tony met him on May 23, 2016.

lmao

If you don’t mind, I’m going to answer another ask that is similar to yours, this is for the anon asking for more details about the timeline and facts they could use for their irondad fics regarding said timeline:

1. Peter quits the school band on his birthday because of Spider-Man and his extra-curricular activities. He quit band expecting a call from Happy or Tony. But Tony was probably too heartbroken to even remember Peter’s birthday or something else.

2. Mysterio's crew learn Tony left an inheritance for Peter on June 27th, 2024 and Peter gets that inheritance on June 28th.

3. Peter’s identity is revealed on July 10th.

4. On July 17th, Coney Island reopens eight years after what happened between Peter and Toomes. That means Toomes has been in prison (maybe, we still don’t know because of the snap, he could’ve died and then after the blip escaped) for around eight years.

5. Flash is now famous lmao given that the Daily Bugle gave everyone his real name and nickname thanks to the video he provided of the attack on the bridge tower.

6. Ned is also famous too since he gave a statement to the news about Night Monkey lmao a very funny one: “He’s like some kind of European knock-off, I guess? Which is cool, I mean, Spider-Man is awesome and other countries probably need their own spider-power-based heroes just in case, but I’ve seen Spider-Man before and that definitely wasn’t him. He was all in black. Spider-Man doesn’t wear black. So, like, case closed.”

7. The raid on Area 51 is canon in the MCU lmao

8. The Daily Bugle reached out to some of the teachers at Midtown High School for more background on Peter but they declined to comment.

9. On October 17th Tony sees Peter again after 5 years and dies the same day.

10. Tony's funeral was on October 29th. So that means Peter returned to school and then had to grieve his father-figure and then attend his funeral on October 29th. Talk about traumatic life events...

11. On May 30th, 2018 Tony was discussing his wedding plans with Pepper on Central Park, and Peter was on a field trip to the Museum of Modern Art.

12. Happy is the only one that could’ve informed Nick Fury that Tony made Peter an Avenger, this means Tony and Happy talked about the kid while Peter was dead. These are just crumbs lmao but we have a little confirmation that Tony talked about Peter during those five years with someone other than Pepper. someone send your ‘happy and tony talk about peter and tony suffers a mental breakdown’ fics asap

13. Peter Parker died on May 31st, 2018.

:D only happy facts here

#irondad #tony stark #peter parker #spider-man #iron man #mcu #marvel #spiderson #infinity war #endgame #ffh #avengers

mlm imo werent sexualized to the degree that wlw were in most canon media mostly because of the male gaze. Gay and Lesbian relationships or moments got very limited representation. One was probably more sympathetic but also heart breaking like say brokeback mountain. One was explicit but depicted as grotesque or twisted or perverted or immoral in some way. And the last version was the titillating version. In western media because of the assumed straight male gaze lesbians making out to titlate guys was a common thing like say in Jennifer's body. The equivalent of that with guys wasnt really that common not in western media. Not that wlw couldn't like that content but it was made to be fanservice for men .

So thats what I kind of mean by wlw were sexualized at least in western media. This equivalent with mlm in fandom never really existed they never made out for girls to find hot in the same way. It was never marketed like oh look hot guys making out. Fandom did that but not canon.

As for comic book men being sexualized kind of. There is definitely the unrealistic beauty standards but theres that debate of was it for the purpose of titillating women? Or a result of toxic masculinity putting this unattainable unsustainable goal for men. Maybe both? But both in comics and the movies they are based on the posing and clothing and moments with women get made to clearly sexualize them . It especially ovbious with comics with them twisting their bodies so their boobs and butts are jutting out. Or like movie moments like Bruce landing in Natasha's clevage. Or angles where you are staring down a female character's shirt or she has a boob window for some contrived reason. Or just reasons to give full page spreads of them in skimpy clothing.

Its rare men get depicted like this or posed like this. And when they do it often stands out because its not the norm. It's something unique. Not true with men. Even in form fitting spandex they are often posed and framed to make to make them look powerful or intelligent or to reveal things about their character.

Again not that men never get sexualized or that fanservice is always bad. Or that its not a concern that men are having these terrible body image issues. But just that for women for the sexualization its so pervasive and constant was my point.

Its just as bad in wlw in canon as it is for women in relationships with men in canon when it comes to that sexualization but i hear so much more about the problems about the wlw ship than the mlw ship. Like to use DC as a example i hear so much about how people sexualized or mishandle harleyivy but compared to that i hear very little about batcat in comparison even though Catwoman is often just as sexualized in that ship.

As for misogyny in shipping wars yes it definetly exists and is a problem as is racism and homophobia. But my issue is mostly that the problem isnt because the main popular ships are mlm. But so often I see the argument framed that way.

Like shipping wars existed between m/w ships and still do today. And they are still often pretty misogynistic towards the woman in the other ship. I don't even have to look at other fandoms I remember Steggy vs Starton getting real ugly.

Mysogny in fandom doesn't uniquely pop up when mlm are the more popular ship. Its often just as bad in fandoms where m/w is the popular ship. But people just bring it up alot more they make it bout valuing the men over the women .

Well i mean that goes both ways you could say its homophobic for valuing the straight ship as better than the gay one or liking it more. But either way its stupid they dont care bout sexism or homophobia only that their ship is more popular.

Thats the sentiment of all ship wars the gender dynamics and racial make up change nothing. Nothing except the bullshit you use for the ship war.

The problem is that people are being homophobic and mysogynistic and racist not just in regards to fictional characters but towards real people just to win a ship war. It comes out so easily. Thats the problem imo.

Mysogny for example i think isnt discussed as much when its a m/w vs m/w ship war or drama because as both ships have women it can't be used to slander the other ship. But when its drama between fans of a m/m and m/w it comes out alot again not because anyone really cares but because now because one ship lacks a woman it can be used as fodder for what people actually care about. Tearing down the other ship.

Again not that mlm fandom doesnt have mysogny. They definetly do. But they aren't mysogynistic because they ship two guys together. Thats not proof they hate women. Having a ship with women isnt proof that you aren't sexist towards women. There might be homophobia in fandoms of mlm ships and mysogny in fandoms of m/w ships.

But in the drama between a m/w and m/m ships that doesn't get brought up because no one cares if that problem can't be used to show that someone only doesn't ship your ship if they are bigoted against it. Who cares about misogyny if your ship is two guys? Who cares about homophobia if your ship is straight?

No one because they cared about the popularity of their ship not the actual issues.

Gonna under under the cut for length again.

This is a lot to read so I'm gonna respond paragraph by paragraph and hope for the best in terms of comprehension.

When it comes to media made about the LGBTQ+ community, you have to keep in mind when it was made, who made it, and who was it made for. And that it's been shown that straight women have had the same reactions to mlm content as straight men to wlw content. QaF was dumbfounded to find that the majority of their audience was straight women when the show's sex scenes were 95% between two or more men and yet that's what they ran with because hey, it got the views. The views of mlm and wlw content in the mainstream media before then was minimized, despite how fucked a lot of the other content could be. If by "most canon media" being directed at the male gaze being summer blockbusters, and more specifically comic book movies, then sure. If we step out of that box, then not really. The film examples you chose are interesting because BB is portrayed exactly how the author of the original short story wrote it which was meant to be heartbreaking since it was a tragic dramatic piece while JB has a woman who wrote and another woman who directed it while purposefully trying to allow to actress to have a level of sexuality without exploiting her as past directors have (also neither of the main characters are lesbians - one is bi, the other I think is straight but maybe questioning?).

The sexualization of wlw in modern western media is definitely a thing. I mean, the first Iron Man film has stewardesses on the private jet pole dancing if I remember correctly. It took until 2016 to stop sexualizing Scarlett in every movie: the changing scene in IM2, the lowered zipper in A1, the ass shot in Cap 2, the boob faceplant in AoU (in your third paragraph, but mentioning it here anyway). It's a joke that you know when a man directs a wlw indie film during the sex scenes. But the mlm equivalent did exist alongside it, and it's what kicked off the century.

Comics and their movies were always for men. The male bodies are male wish fulfilment for their physical appearance. The women are male wish fulfilment for their dream girls. Funnily enough, one of the least sexualized women in comics I've ever read is Sharon. She's rarely, if ever, drawn to be sexualized for the audience. I'm not even sure she's even been in those swimsuit issues Marvel did years ago. And it shows heavily that Marvel struggles to know how to appeal to women without being aggressively in your face about it. The best example of them appealing without pandering is WV, and the worst is the group shots the Russos did in IW and Endgame, especially the latter.

But the men get those poses in the movies too. Thor bathed shirtless for no reason in TDW. There's a scene in Endgame dedicated to talking about Steve's ass. Pratt in GotG. Rudd in Ant-Man. Most actors are expected to look good shirtless and put themselves through intense shit to look that way. So do the women, but they aren't doing it to have the glamor shots of their muscles. And the MCU is not the only film franchise like this. Most, if not all, franchises with majority or entirely male leads expects them all to look like bodybuilders. And I'm gonna take back that it's just for the male audience, because these bodies are meant to appeal to women who are intended to thirst for these actors too. They think these bodies is what will bring women to the theaters.

None of this will change, as you say, that women's sexualization is "constant and pervasive". The film industry is just a part of the larger whole of media. Television and advertising have a treatment of women that's beyond whatever you or I say because there are decades worth of shit to go through that would take dozens of essays worth of writing to fully divulge beyond "please stop it's gross".

Now DC is a whole other ballgame. They're pretty infamous for their artists' sexualization of heroines and villainesses. Harley, Ivy, and Selina are definitely pretty bad, but when I remember what I've seen drawn of Kara, Kori, or sometimes Barbara... But outside of one artist, I think Harley and Ivy as a couple have been drawn tamely. Can't say the same for Selina, because they just can't not draw every part of her body even when she's fully clothed.

I think it's hard not to talk about fandom misogyny outside of m/m ships because of how often popular m/m shippers have rooted their shipping into misogyny. And even with m/f ship wars, a lot of the time the "faulted" character is always the woman when majority of the time it's the man who sucks. I don't get why everyone is fighting for who should kiss Steve because Steve sucks and they'd be better off without him. But because Steve is the object of affection for our fave, we have to fight off everyone else.

Don't look at other fandoms for m/f ship wars. We don't appreciate how tame we were, even at our worst. I'm serious, I've seen so much worse.

I think why the topic of misogyny comes up more with m/m ships is because they follow a similar principle of the male characters being more developed in canon and fanon so it's who people gravitate towards.

There is definitely layers of homophobia in fandom, but there's many versions of how we see it. Homophobes who won't ship anything that's not m/f. Homophobes who ship m/m but won't support IRL rights. People who love m/m but abhor f/f, and vice-versa. The shippers who use them for personal fodder. But the sexism is more prevalent than the homophobia. And the racism way more than both combined.

And it does cause a lot of ammo, and much of it severely unjustified, in ship wars. Literally the bullshit I've seen pulled out of thin air to accuse Sharon of not being worthy because someone said she's a racist for [they literally had no reason just called her one because we said Sam and Sharon are friends because they are] and other nonsense.

The real world repercussions of the homophobia, the sexism, and the racism in fandom... there's just so much. Like we are all still people, and yet we decide because we hide behind screens to be antagonistic, and use homophobic, sexist, and racist shit to attack each other over ships just because we want to paint the other person as crazy, I guess? If you can't see that there are no enemies in ship wars and that the other side is still people, maybe you need to sit out and log off. It's baffling how often it still happens to people. Then it's no longer about ships, it's about who is an asshole.

I will say that Steve and Peggy vs Steve and Sharon is probably the only m/f ship war I've seen where misogyny is talked about. Is, not was, because it still is. Both sides call the others misogynistic. I don't think either side is, but you can see in individuals. Those who tweeted at a certain actress that she was a slut for kissing her costar certainly are though.

You are right that shipping m/m isn't inherently sexist. But tearing down women in those ships to prop up m/m has made me stop shipping certain characters altogether. People, seriously, we don't have to justify why we like them! We can just like them! And other characters can still exist! It's never been that deep.

And you're right, the popularity of the ship helps people ignore any deeper issues within them and this is a power used to silence valid criticism if it pops up.

(I hope I answered everything well for you.)

Rainbow Cake

Rainbow Cake: A Captain America Fanfic

Buy me a ☕ Character Pairing: Steve Rogers x F!Reader, Tony Stark x Pepper Potts

Word Count: 1683

Rating: T

Square filled: @star-spangled-bingo - Baby Sitting Duties

Warnings: Just a bunch of fluff

Synopsis: Tony and Pepper take their first outing together alone since Morgan was born, leaving you and Steve to babysit.

A/N: A happy world where CW and IW and Endgame never happened and everyone is friends.

Rainbow Cake

“Alright so, she's supposed to be in bed by 7.30 but if she doesn't want to go then, I just read to her and play games until she does. Sometimes I let her watch a movie. She’s not supposed to have juice pops after 7, but you probably can just give her one if she asks. She’s not allowed in the lab but if there’s something she really wants from there you can go in there to get it with her. She should have a bath but don’t worry if she really refuses.”

Tony rambled over his list of instructions for taking care of Morgan while he showed you and Steve around the house. He and Pepper had an event they needed to go to and it was the first time they’d left Morgan home without at least one of her parents there to look after her. It was pretty clear that Tony was freaking out about it.

“So what you’re saying is that Morgan gets to do whatever she wants. Gotcha.” You said giving Tony the finger guns.

“Sounds about right,” Pepper said with a smirk.

“We’re going to be fine. Aren’t we, Morgan?” Steve asked.

Morgan looked up at him and narrowed her eyes. “We’ll see.”

You and Tony both burst out laughing and Tony ruffled her hair. “Give him hell, kiddo.”

“Don’t tell her that,” Pepper scolded. She crouched down in front of Morgan and put her hand on her arm. “You be a good girl okay? Don’t cause too much trouble.”

“Okay, mommy,” Morgan said with a huff.

“Thank you, honey.” She said and hugged her. “I love you, bub. Have sweet dreams tonight.”

“Love you too, mommy. You have sweet dreams.” Morgan echoed, cuddling her mom.

When Pepper stood up, Tony scooped Morgan up into his arms. “Alright, kid. You’re in charge. Make sure these two don’t cause any trouble. Keep a particularly close eye on Cap. He’s not afraid to commit major felonies if he has to.”

“Go big or go home, right, Tony?” Steve joked.

“You see?” Tony said.

Morgan giggled and wrapped her arms around Tony’s neck. “I’ll watch ‘em, daddy. Don’t wowwy.”

“Thanks, bubble gum. I love you. Have fun without me. But not too much fun.” Tony said.

Morgan kissed him on the cheek. “Love you 3000.”

“Why thank you.” He said kissing her cheek and putting her down.

“We shouldn’t be too late. Can’t see this one lasting too long without freaking out about things going wrong at home.” Pepper said indicating to Tony.

“Go. Have fun. We’ll be fine.” Steve said.

You, Steve and Morgan, followed Pepper and Tony out to their car and waved them goodbye. As their car pulled out of the drive you looked down at the little girl. “Alright, kiddo. What shall we do?”

“Hmm…” Morgan said, a very serious expression falling over her face as she weighed up the options. “You wanna make popcorn and watch She-Ra?”

“Sounds like a good plan.” You agreed, taking her hand.

You let Morgan lead you inside as and Steve trailed in after you. “Alright, you know where the popcorn is?”

Morgan raised her hands up like she wanted to be picked up. Steve scooped her into his arms and she pointed at one of the cupboards. “Umm… maybe we need to make a cake too.” She said as Steve got out the popcorn kernels.

“Oh, do we now?�� What kind of cake should we make?” Steve asked.

“Umm…” She said looking in the cupboard. “Rainbow.”

Steve looked at you like a deer in headlights. You started laughing. “Why are you looking at me? Does it look like I’ve ever made a rainbow cake before?”

“Does it have to be rainbow, Morgan?” Steve asked.

“Yeah. I think so.” Morgan said.

You started laughing and brought up one of the holo-screens in the kitchen, quickly searching up a recipe for a rainbow cake. “God, this is going to need a lot of pans.” You said.

Steve came over with Morgan looking over your shoulder. “Alright, kid. You got it.”

He put Morgan on the counter and you and Steve got out everything you’d need for making a rainbow cake. The next half hour was spent greasing trays, mixing multiple bowls cake batter. Making sure you had even amounts of each layer and putting them in the over. By the time you were putting the last of the cake pans into the oven, the kitchen was littered with bowls, the three of you and all the benches were covered in both flour and cake batter and Morgan was sitting on the floor licking pink cake batter from one of the bowls.

“Alright. I think we might need to clean you up there, kid.” Steve said.

“I dunno…” She said as she licked the wooden spoon.

“I think Steve might be right. You’re a little more cake batter than you are person right now.” You said.

Morgan started giggling. “Okay. I guess I can have a bath.” She said with a definite tone of someone doing a favor she didn’t really want to do.

“Well, thank you, your majesty,” You said. “What do you think? I’ll give her a bath, you clean this up?”

Steve nodded. “Sounds good.”

You picked up Morgan and carried her down to the bathroom. “You want bubbles?”

“Yep. Lots.” She said.

You put her on the ground and started up the bath putting lots of bubble mixture in. She stripped off, throwing her clothes around and got some bath toys. When the bath was full you put her in the water. She started playing immediately as if you weren’t even there.

“We might need to wash your hair, Morgan.” You said grabbing the little bucket by the bath with the lip to stop the water from getting in her eyes.

“Mmmm… no, it’ll be okay.” She said, matter-of-factly.

You chuckled and showed her the cake batter in her hair. “You’ll attract ants.”

“Dat's okay. Uncle Scott can come an’ tell them not to.” She said. You laughed and did your best to just clean the cake batter out of her hair without actually washing it.

“You gonna marry, Uncle Steve?” She asked.

“Hmm… I don’t know. Maybe?” You said.

“My mommy and daddy aren’t married.” She said, simply.

“I know. They were going to. Then you came along and they decided they didn’t really need to.” You said.

“Maybe you can have a baby and you won’t need to.” She suggested.

“I’m not quite sure that’s exactly how it works, Morgan.” You said stifling a laugh. “But I’ll tell Steve and see what he says.”

“Okay,” Morgan said with a nod like you’d just taken her very important advice about something.

She gave you a rubber duck and the two of you played with them until the water started to get cool and she decided to get out. You took her to her room and dressed her in warm pajamas and the two of you went back out to the kitchen.

“There you are. Just in time. The cakes are ready for their frosting.” Steve said greeting you both.

The kitchen was clean except for the six different cakes that were all on cooling racks. Steve had out all the ingredients for buttercream frosting and a selection of food dye and sprinkles.

Morgan approached him with her hands up again and he lifted her and put her on the counter. “Alright, you’re gonna help me right?” Steve asked.

“Of course,” Morgan said.

You leaned against the wall and watched as Steve patiently worked with Morgan to make a bright green buttercream that the Hulk would be proud of. They then started assembling the cake. You did your best to keep both Morgan and the kitchen clean but by the time you were done her hands and face were covered in frosting as well as smudges on her pajamas. There were sprinkles all over the counter and some on the floor.

“What do you think, Morgan?” You said. “Should we cut it?”

“Yeah, we have some and watch She-Ra.” She agreed.

Steve sliced the cake and pulled out a wedge revealing the rainbow layers inside. “Ohhhh… look at that.” Morgan said.

“We did good, huh?” Steve said.

“Yeah. Good job.”

You took three slices to the couch and put on She-Ra for her. “What’s this about?” Steve asked as it started up.

“She’s a Princess. She has a sword and fights. And her horse is a unicorn that has wings.” Morgan said.

“You know they had a different version of this when I was a kid?” You said. You looked at Steve and mouth ‘she had huge boobs’ and Steve started laughing.

The three of you sat quietly eating cake and watching tv.

It was most likely Morgan that fell asleep first though when Tony and Pepper found the three of you asleep in a little slumped pile when they got home, still covered in flour, frosting and sprinkles, Tony liked to think that Morgan had outlasted both of you.

He scooped his daughter up into his arms and she mumbled and nuzzled into him. “Shhh, Morgoona. Daddy’s got you.” He soothed. “Should we wake those two up?” He added, gesturing to you and Steve on the couch.

“No. Let them sleep. Looks like she wore them out.” Pepper said grabbing a throw and draping it over you both.

Tony smirked and began carrying Morgan down to her room. “That's my girl.” He said.

AVENGERS ENDGAME SPOILERS + MY THEORIES & COMMENTS

It's been a week since I saw Endgame and I think it's really the time for me to write some comments about it.

The First Part of the Movie

- It was kinda smart as in a couple of minutes it foiled almost every theory ever made about it.

- It was good as they showed us our heroes humanity, the way they struggled to move on after the snap and how alone, responsible and broken they felt.

- It was too long: they could've used half - or at least a third - of that time to cover some of the plot holes left at the end of the movie, or to show us something more interesting. For example, Imagine if there was no scene about Hulk taking pictures with his fans and instead of it we'd got Steve's meeting with Red Skull. Wouldn't it be amazing? Yes.

- Thor and Hulk were destroyed. Those characters went on a journey since we first met them, and starting from Ragnarok to finish with Endgame, they ended up going backwards instead of moving forward. They were hilarious in some moments, yes, but mostly they looked ridiculous and ooc. I mean... Hulk's dab dance? WTF?! Thor spending his days playing fortnite? It looked a little excessive to me honestly.

- I loved the way Natasha and Steve kept counting on each other like the family they were supposed to be. They give each other strength and support, and love. They were amazing. Truly.

- Tony's speech almost made me cry. Of course I knew that was not his end, - it was too soon -, but I almost cried anyway. Watching him suffering pained me. I was trying to figure out how they would manage to get out that situation when Carol showed up and I almost screamed. And CAN WE TALK ABOUT TONY LETTING NEBULA WIN, PLEASE?!

The Time Travel Thing

Basically, Ant man came back to our world to find out half of the population had been wiped away, and he has this idea of time traveling because why not? Let's mess with our minds a little more.

They explained that if they went back, their past would not change anyway, but at the same time Bruce says that when they remove an Infinity stone from its timeline, they create an alternative reality. Now, sure Steve put them back to where they belonged when they were not of use to the Avengers anymore, but still, there's a Loki who fled with the Tesseract in 2012 and I don't think that Steve faced him and fixed it on his own: I mean, it took the six of them to defeat him the first time! So, didn't that create a different reality? There is an Infinity stone out of place after all.

Still, I can't see how Thanos could do the snap if his 2014 version is dead. All I'm saying is that the timeline we saw remains unchanged, but we can't actually know whether there is an alternative timeline in which IW never happened or not. I like to think there is because this would mean that there is a reality where Nat, Tony and Steve are still alive, together and maybe happy. Just we'll never see it. Unfortunately.

Plus, the soul stone. A soul for a soul, right? Given that Steve returned the stone, couldn't he get Natasha back?

Tony. I expected Tony to die at the end of this movie but seriously guys that hurt too much, I was not ready at all. He finally had the family he deserved and wanted but could not sacrifice half of the living beings on earth just to keep his happiness. WHAT A CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. He started from fighting for himself to almost sacrifice himself in Avengers 1 and to actually do it in the end. Chapeau, Iron Man.

Steve. And here the thing gets complicated. I expected Steve to die as well,though his death would have broken me, - you know, favorite character and so on. We were ready for just one of them to die, so the only way to completely destroy our hearts was to kill both of them off. They didn't, and somehow this was even worse.

It's like we were robbed of our proper goodbye to Cap. I am, of course, happy he got the love of his life back (though I can't see how this will not affect the timeline tbh), but up to Endgame, things happened. First of all, Sharon Carter. And here everything gets weird. Secondly, he made a journey during which he changed and came to accept what had happened to him. In the end, it was all thrown away. It's kind of ooc for me that he just left Bucky in the present, friends who needed him, and went back to the past. And at the same time I can't actually see him just sitting there when he could prevent shit to happen. Though he promised Nat to move on, and maybe, after losing Nat and Tony, he realized that the only way for him to move on was to go back. Because yes, I think he wouldn't have come back if they had been alive. And Bucky followed his own path after CW, so they had already gone on separate ways.

As I said, it's tricky. A lot.

It's like Tony learnt from Cap to sacrifice himself and Cap learnt from Tony to put himself first for once.

"See you in a minute".

Natasha's death. That I didn't expect. Well, actually I did, being her my second favorite character and being used to watching my favorite characters die all the time. But you know, I thought that the soul stone required the soul of the one you love the most, and there was no way that Clint loved her more than his family. So I thought he was the one better suited for the sacrifice. And instead that wasn't the case and she died. But I didn't want any of them to die anyway. And it hurt because she said "see you in a minute" and then she didn't come back. And Steve's reaction when he realized she was gone forever. My poor heart.

This movie truly messed up with me.

Random comments

- Pepper was amazing and the scene of all women fighting side by side was MARVELOUS. I wish Natasha was there though.

- Poor Morgan lost his father, they were so cute and happy, my heart can't handle this.

- Thor giving away his throne was... I don't know, that's tricky as well. His whole path was about becoming worthy and gaining the awareness he needed to be a just king. So it makes sense he didn't feel like ruling at that moment, he lost himself and needed to find the right path again, but giving the throne away? Sounds too much to me imho. But I also don't think we've seen all of Thor, so... Maybe they'll fix it later on.

- Gamora. 2018 Gamora is dead, 2014 one is alive. What. About. Her? If the past remains unchanged, does it mean that she has only four years left to live (in perfect final destination style)? Or maybe she died when Tony snapped? Or she just run away to follow her own path again, as originally in 2014 she left Thanos and changed from a bad to a good guy, doing we don't know what exactly. Maybe she's meant to do it again, (just in the future) before meeting Quill again.

- The Scarlett Witch is FIRE. Can't wait to see her show! (Also, Loki's. I wonder if it will start from him fleeing with the Tesseract or if it will be a prequel like the movie about the Black Widow)

- Ronin. It was like Natasha and Clint's position were reversed and this time it was down to Natasha to save him and she did it. She's so loyal to her friends, her family, the family she found in the Avengers. She deserved so much better.

- I expected that they had to face either Loki (the one who fled with the Tesseract, after he did it), as a sort of coming back to the start, or Thanos from the past. It was Thanos and I was happy. I still hope we'll see Loki with his character development intact again.

- The final battle was INCREDIBLE. AMAZING.

- When I was at the cinema, I was 99% sure there was no scene after the credits. I waited anyway. And it was only when I saw that black screen that I realized it was really, really over. That was the moment I had to repress other tears.

- I'm gonna stop now. I just want to say that, in spite of all the plot holes and things I don't agree with and that were done, or things that I thought could've been done better, I loved this movie. It's the end to an era that meant - and still means - a lot to me and it was AMAZING. I will bring all those characters and those stories with me forever. Nat, Steve and Tony in a special way. One day I'll come to terms with the fact that this is all. But not today.

Love you 3000.

Love Me Like You Do (Six)

I’m posting this now just in case I don’t survive EndGame and never want to write again. (am I joking? probably not)

Also, even though this chapter goes along with CACW, it isn’t as angsty as you’re expecting since its from Rhodey’s POV. And if you missed my earlier note, I decided not to extend the story through IW and EG because I just don’t know if I can handle it. So yay for happily ever afters sooner than we expected!

Oh and another also, this happily ever after is like... the most tooth rotting one I’ve ever written because our boys deserve it so much.

IRONHUSBANDS MASTERLIST HERE

********************

(2016)

“Okay for the record?” James puffed through the words as he turned the corner and jogged up the straight-a-way. “This doesn’t count as exercise for you.”

“My doctor didn’t say exercise.” Tony said blandly, basically floating beside James with his boots and gauntlets up, the pieces keeping him perfectly balanced, perfectly matched in speed, hovering exactly six inches off the ground. “He said fresh air and my god is this alot of fresh air. My nose is starting to freckle. This will be terrible for my complexion.”

“Your complexion is already terrible.” James retorted. “Weird, reclusive billionaire who spends too much time in a creepy lab with overly friendly robots isn’t a great look.”

“I resent that.” Tony peered over the edge of today’s over priced and shockingly green sunglasses. “My lab isn’t creepy and my robots aren’t overly friendly. Dum-E is the exact right amount of nosy and U is always around when I need them.”

“Not gonna argue the weird, reclusive billionaire part?”

“Nah, why bother?”

“By the way?” James checked his time and picked up speed, rolling his eyes hard enough to hurt when the repulsors kicked on a little higher so Tony was going faster too. “The doc definitely said you needed exercise. He didn’t want to say it, but I’m not afraid to tell you you’re starting to look a little fluffy around the middle, Tones.”

“Excuse me?” Entirely offended, Tony swerved over in front of James and glared down at him. “Fluffy? Did you just call me fluffy? What does that mean?”

“It means that your favorite blue vest if starting to strain a little across the middle.” James answered flatly and when Tony squawked in outrage, he added, “But you are filling out your pants just great.”

“You been lookin’ at the way I fill out my pants, Honeybear?”

“The way you fill them out lately, I don’t really have a choice in the matter.”

“Goddammit--” Tony fired up his repulsors and popped James with the lightest hit ever, sending him stumbling back several feet. “Shut the hell up.”

“Hey.” James stepped up onto one of the boots, knowing it would hold his weight, and hooked his arm around Tony’s neck to pull him in for a sweet kiss. And sure, doing that sort of thing while hovering over the sidewalk was maybe a little weird? But still amazing.

“What was that for?” Tony blinked at him in surprise, then glanced around self consciously. “Why did you kiss me?”

“Because I wanted to.” James jumped back down to the ground and grinned up at Tony. “Because we’re doing that sort of thing now, right?”

“...I...” Tony didn’t blush often, but not even his sunglasses detracted from the red spreading up his face. “I mean, yeah?”

“God, you’re sweet.” James stepped back up and kissed him again and Tony blushed harder. “Why the hell are you blushing when I kiss you, we’ve kissed before. Been kissing for thirty years now.”

“I don’t know it just feels...” Tony shrugged and pushed James off his boot. “Go away, I don’t like it.”

“Yeah okay, you don’t like it.” James scoffed, checked his time and broke back into a jog. “By the way, you might be getting fluffy but I sure love the way you fit in my arms lately, Tones.”

“JESUS CHRIST!” Tony yelled after him. “You can’t just say things like that! Rhodey! Come back here!”

James laughed all the way back to the compound.

*****************

It was never a good thing when Secretary of State Ross showed up unannounced, and the tension in the room was thick enough to cut when he handed over the stack of pages known as the Accords, approved by over a hundred countries with the direction to either “Sign or retire.”

Not surprisingly, Steve wasn’t about to sign anything without reading it and he picked up the papers immediately.

More surprisingly, Tony was willing to sign right then and there, adamant that the team needed boundaries, insisting that they could work on amendments later.

James hadn’t expected to be arguing with Sam of all people about it, and nobody had expected Natasha to side with Tony. Vision had something wise to say as always and Wanda just looked scared and even after Steve had gotten a message and left the room, the argument continued.

“Am I wrong about this, Rhodey?” Tony asked later, collapsing on to the couch and reaching for James’s hand. “Should I stand with Steve and resist it?”

“I think Natasha was right.” James shrugged, rubbing his thumb over a scar on Tony’s hand. “If you all agree, it’s one hand on the wheel which still gives you some control. But if you all resist, you’ll be forced into retirement and any move at all will be considered treason, a war crime. They’ll go to jail.”

“Retirement.” Tony sighed. “That doesn’t sound so terrible, does it?”

“You thinking about retiring, Tones?” James shifted on the couch and tucked Tony closer to his side. “Hm? Ready to give up the suit and settle down with a couple dogs and a rocking chair?”

“Maybe.” Tony was watching him carefully, and James waited with raised eyebrows for him to finish. “It would give us a chance to finish this talk we never end up having, right? Would give us time to go back to Vegas and see if--mmph!”

James leaned over and kissed him, fitting a hand to the back of Tony’s neck to keep him close for a long moment. “Don’t feel like you have to give up Iron Man just so you and I can finally have that talk, just so we can revisit Vegas. We can do that anytime, Tones.”

“But not really.” Tony pulled away with a frown. “We decided after Pepper that we couldn’t do a relationship and the hero thing. Has to be one or the other.”

“We’re doing a relationship now.” James pointed out and Tony huffed, “Not really! Not... not officially.”

“I kiss you whenever I want and tell you I love you every damn day and as long as we’re in the same time zone, we’re sharing a bed.” James argued back. “How is that not a relationship?”

“It’s just not the one I want.” Tony muttered and James blinked a few times because they-- they hadn’t talked about that yet.

“Tony--”

“We have to deal with the Accords first.” Tony decided. “Because those will sort of take the decision out of my hands, right?”

“....right?”

“And then we can go to Vegas and talk.” Quieter that time. “Right?”

“Right.” No question about it, they were overdue for a Vegas trip and a long awaited talk, and James tugged Tony close again for a long, promising kiss. “You’re absolutely right.”

*****************

The airport fight was... well to be honest, most of James’s memories of the fight were fuzzy at best, wrapped in a haze of pain that wrapped around his spine and landed somewhere down around his feet, but he wouldn’t really know, because he couldn’t really feel them.

He remembered fighting a tiny guy who was then suddenly big and literally swinging gangways through the air trying to knock him out. Wanda was throwing cars in his way and at one point James had had a damn kid hitching a ride on his back and flinging webs to try and take down the big guy.

Then he was taking off and trying to catch the Quinjet, Sam hot on his heels and Vision had only been trying to help but--

--James had woken up in the hospital, Tony curled up as small as he could be in the bed next to him, tears dried on his face, his fists clenched even in his sleep and when James had automatically tried to pull him closer, had tried to shift to give him more room, that was when he’d realized his legs didn’t work.

“I could kill him.” Tony said later that day, staring out the window at the rain. “I could kill Sam. Not Sam, Steve. How the hell could Steve tear us apart like this, how could he turn his back on all of us for his friend? How the fuck did I end up fighting against the same people I ate dinner with last Friday?”

“Tones--” James struggled to sit up, pushed himself up with his arms. “You telling me you wouldn’t take on the UN if it meant bringing me home?”

“I’d take on the goddamn UN to bring you home.” Tony muttered. “But I wouldn’t drag everyone else into it! This isn’t just Steve who’s now a wanted criminal. Christ, they’ve got Clint and Wanda and Sam locked up in the Raft! And whoever the hell the Ant guy was? Who was that? Why is Steve dragging them into the fight!”

“You would have been okay with Cap going after his friend all by himself?” James asked skeptically and Tony’s jaw worked in irritation.

“We’re friends.” he finally said. “He could have asked me to help. He could have asked me and I would have figured out a way to bring Sergeant Barnes back. Signing those fucking Accords would have meant that Barnes could have sanctuary in one of our hospitals and rehab centers. Now? Now there’s talk of executing the Sergeant for his war crimes, POW status be damned. They want to lock Steve in a set of vibranium cuffs and throw him in a hole! Why didn’t he just listen?!”

“Tony.” James motioned for him and Tony came immediately. “Sweetheart, you know damn well if that was me, or if the situation was reversed and it was you? Neither one of us would think twice before spelling a fuck you to the government and doing what we wanted.”

“Are you taking Steve’s side?” Tony sputtered. “How the fuck--”

“I’m saying I understand loving someone enough to not care what I have to do to keep them safe.” James interrupted. “And I think you should remember that when you go looking for Steve.”

“I’m not going looking for him.”

“We both know you are, stop stalling and leave already.” James tried to wave him away. “Go on.”

“I am absolutely not leaving you, Rhodey.”

“Sure you are.” James tried for a smile but it was more of a grimace. “I can guarantee I will be right here in this bed waiting for you to get back.”

“We should have retired.” Tony grabbed his jacket and his phone, cursing under his breath. “Could be in a suite in Vegas right now instead of a goddamn hospital, could be fucking naked instead of chasing after Captain Pain in the Ass and his--”

“Tony.”

“WHAT!?”

“Tony.” James worked hard to keep the pain from his voice, the panic from his eyes when he tried to move again and it didn’t work again. “We’ll get there, alright? Vegas will be there when we’re done. I’ve waited this long, what’s another few days? You keep bringing it up like we’re running out of time, but we’re not. Go figure this out and when you come back, we’ll retire. Go to therapy together and buy a dog together and move somewhere that no one would ever want to invade or attack ever, alright?”

“Yeah?” Tony looked like he was trying not to panic either. “You think you can hold your own against me in retirement? I’m sure to be a menace with nothing destructive to do.”

“Sweetheart.” James smiled when Tony did. “You come back and get me out of this damn bed and I’ll let you hold my own, huh?”

******************

Tony never wanted to talk about Siberia, so James never made him.

He received an electronic file from an unknown number almost seventy two hours later, a small video screen opening on his tablet and playing thirty seconds of the worst video James had ever seen-- a road he was too familiar with, a car he’d snuck out and driven with Tony when Howard was away, a figure on a motorcycle he’d seen only a week previous.

There was a message-- “Tell Tony I’m sorry I wasn’t there when it all went down, tell him I didn’t know before any of this. I don’t know if he’s heard from S.R. but I’m out here if you need me.”

It was signed “N.R.” and that was it.

James dumped the file from his tablet, then smashed the thing into the wall and when Tony came in to see what the noise was, James just shook his head.

“Let’s try these out then, alright?” Tony made a few last minute adjustments to the braces and stepped away. “Can you stand? I got parallel bars, babe. Try and walk for me.”

James hurt to his core even if he couldn’t feel any of it in his legs because it took so much effort to just take a damn step. It almost brought tears to his eyes, but he blinked them away because Tony was blinking away tears too and neither one of them was going to break down and cry.

“Tell me how I can make this better.” Tony was distracting himself with the tech, eyeing every shift of the gears, every movement James made. “Do you want more cushioning? Is it rubbing against your leg weird? Cup holders? Tell me.”

“Maybe some AC down in my--” James tried to snark but his legs gave out just then and he clattered to the floor.

“Damn it.” Tony reached to help him but James pushed away stubbornly. “I can do this Tones. Flew a hundred and thirty eight missions, I can walk. Don’t help me.”

“Fine.” Tony put his hands up. “Stubborn ass.”

“You mean sexy ass.” James replied and Tony shot him a smile over his shoulder as he went to answer whoever was at the door.

“Are you Tony Stank?” The delivery driver called through the door, and there on the floor, James laughed harder than he had in weeks. “Tony Stank? That’s you, right?”

“That’s Tony Stank right there!” James hollered back and Tony groaned out loud. “And thank you for that! I’m never letting that go! Tony Stank!”

“Don’t sound so excited.” Tony grumped. “It’s not that funny.”

“It’s literally the funniest thing in the world.” James disagreed seriously. “Because after thirty something goddamn years, I finally have something annoying to call you every time you call me Honeybear.”

“You love being called Honey bear.” Tony tore open the box and took out a flip phone and a folded note. “Admit it.”

“I absolutely will not.”

*********************

********************* (Vegas)

Vegas had a hundred places to be and a thousand places to go and a hundred thousand people packed into all the spaces, and James didn’t want to be anywhere than where he was standing right now.

“I Honeybear,” he murmured and Tony snorted loud enough that the officiant glanced at him in alarm. “Do promise to take you, Tony Stank--” an even louder snort. “-- to be my lawfully wedded husband. In and out of scrapes and trouble, through all your bullshit shenanigans--” the officiant was starting to look a little alarmed. “--your dangerous inventions, incoherent rambles and weird sleep patterns. I promise to put up with your terrible coping and overspending, with your penchant for ugly ties and love of pictures--”

“Rhodey!” Tony was full on laughing by now and James grinned back but continued--

“I promise to always be there in the morning.” and then softer-- “I’ve loved you since we were just kids at college and it took us a long time to get to Vegas the first time, even longer to get here a second time but we made it, you know?”

James slid a simple gold band onto Tony’s finger. “And more than all this? I promise that no one-- no one-- will ever love you the way I do, Tones.”

Tony stared down at the ring on his finger, then up into James’s eyes, and then pitched his index cards right over the side of the railing and threw his arms around James’s neck to kiss him.

James caught him easily, the gears on his leg braces whirring with the extra weight but holding steady as they hugged and when Tony leaned away, all he could say is-- “How the hell am I supposed to follow those vows? What could I possibly say that would be better than that?”

“It’s a wedding, not a competition, Tones.”

“The hell it’s not.” Tony tossed back. “I had every intention of having you in tears with my vows but that’s not going to happen now.”

“Well, I think the officiant might cry if we don’t get back to it.” James suggested and Tony stepped back reluctantly. “Go on now, say your vows.”

“I threw my cards over the edge.” Tony was smiling up at him the same way he’d smiled back when they were kids in college and James had agreed to enter the robot contest, the same way he’d smiled the night before graduation when James had finally kissed him back, the same way he’d smiled the last time they were in Vegas and James had thought the shine in Tony’s eyes was prettier than the stars.

God he loved him.

“I’ve loved you since I was fifteen.” Tony finally said. “And some days I wish it wouldn't have taken this long to be together. I wish I would have sobered up in college and told you what I wanted, I wish I wouldn’t have pushed you away after graduation and I wish I wouldn’t have wasted time dating all those other people.”

“Tones...”

“I wish it wouldnt have taken almost dying for us to actually say something.” Tony continued, touching his chest where only scars sat now. “And I wish I hadn’t had to lose Pepper for you and I to finally take the step forward into something real. I wish alot of things were different, Rhodey, but then again I wouldn't change it at all because somehow, I’ve always had you by my side and now--” Tony slipped a gold band onto James’s finger as well. “now I always will.”

“Nobody has ever loved me like you do.” he whispered. “And I never want anyone else to even try.”

***************

Epilogue

***************

“He’s a good kid.” Tony sipped at his coffee and watched Peter do his homework at the table of the compound. “I told him if he wanted this internship he had to work for it, and he hasn’t let a single grade slip or anything.”

“He is a good kid.” James put an arm around Tony’s waist and kissed his husband good morning.

“Does he remind you of me at that age?”

“Oh god no.” James said emphatically. “God no. You were a terrible kid. Literally terrible. Do you see these gray hairs? They grew in the day you moved into my dorm. If Peter is anything like you at that age, I will kick him out of this house myself, I swear.”

“Rude.”

“And yet so true.” He stole a drink of Tony’s coffee. “What’s he working on right now?”

“A robot design.” Tony’s eyes lit up. “He wants me to help with the NASA competition.”

“Absolutely not. You’ll blow us all half to hell. Nope. No way. I am not letting you two build something for NASA in the same place I sleep. Not you and Disaster Jr. over there.”

“Fine, we’ll build it outside.”

“I swear to god, Tony---”

“Fine fine fine.” Tony pushed him away, smoothing down his own silvering hair. “Spoilsport.”

James caught him back and re-ruffled his hair, laying a solid kiss on Tony’s lips. “Brat.”

Endgame Spoilers - please beware!

The thing that amazed and actually moved me the most about Endgame was how it wasn’t a single character alone that was the solution to the whole problem at hand. The whole team was included, it couldn’t have been done without anyone missing.

Without Carol they would have NEVER gotten Tony and Nebula back. wouldn’t have found the green planet and also of course wouldn’t have known about the fate of the stones that quickly

Without Scott they wouldn’t have ever began to thought about the final solution of how to get everyone back. He, yes the tiny “unpopular” Ant Man was the one who gave them the very signifcant first push

Without Nat they wouldn’t have stayed a Team at all. She was the one who kept the whole thing running, who stayed with the Avengers initiative, even though many adivsed her to just leave it behind, but she didn’t

Without Bruce and his acceptance of the Hulk they wouldn’t have been able to actually use the glove for the very first time and, of course, they would have had a much harder time actually building their final creation

Without Cap they would have missed the probably most important leadership position and emotional source of strength in their entire team. He was the one who kept everyone going, who never let his will and mind get broken even though the situation at times looked that hopeless

Without Clint they wouldn’t have had one of the most fearless members of the team. Being the first to actually give the “”whole thing”” a try and (just like * ) not even sparing a single thought about giving his everything and life to finish their mission

Without Nebula and Gamora and their sisterhood they wouldn’t have been able to retrive the stones for a second time and in that case stop Thanos once and for all

And without Tony, yeah without Tony... I think it’s needless that I even continue here, isn’t it

And that weren’t even all!! I’m pretty sure I forgot a whole bunch since I’m only recapitulating this from my pure memory (and I’d also like to credit all the dusted here, like Strange and Parker ofc, damn, they did their parts as well) But the thing is that the entire time I had the feeling that without Thor they would have been eventually better off and this is just so plain wrong. Thor has NEVER been a “useless” character, in the contrary. Without him in Avengers 1 they wouldn’t have been able to break Loki’s schemes, he fought the Hulk and did his part part during the New York battle as well. And in AOU?? HE had the vision of the stones, HE was the one who eventually brought Vision to life because he knew it was the right thing to do. And I let out my biggest sigh of relief after IW because they REALLY carried Taika’s legacy so well - giving Thor one of the most epic superhero entrances in history and claiming his spot as the “strongest” Avenger (speaking of physical strength in this sense of course). So I really left the cinema baffled after Endgame because at the end I felt like Thor hasn’t been a part of the movie at all. It’s okay to give a character a sense of comedic relief but reducing him fully towards it, especially a character as Thor - I don’t even know what to say. We all were hoping to see his character prospering and that’s the thing. YES, we knew that Thor would blame himself, that he would go through a hard time - but the Thor we knew wouldn’t have coped with his depressions like THIS. It would have made him stronger, more eager and he wouldn’t be able to rest until he’d know that he fixed it all. So that character that they portrayed in the movie - I’m sorry but that wasn’t Thor at all. Right now I’m just confused and stunned - and really don’t know what we should hope for. A fourth Thor movie?? For them to somehow fix that mess of a character they left behind??? Well. On top of that I’d also just like to point out that depressions and PTSD should never be topics to serve as comic relief. And they really scratched my line of acceptance here because it was more than plain obvious that Thor was dealing with exactly that.

I’m just gonna say that I like to pretend that Thor took his well deserved break during Endgame and that’s it. Other than that I LOVED Endgame, I know many disagree but from my point of view it was a fantastic movie, starting with a lot of humor, eventually turning into this whole epic momentum and final battle, I was speechless and on my edge the entire time. The portrayel of Thor was one of the only few things that were truly bothering me, and of course, for me who has a Thor-biased blog, it was really a kind of hard pillow to swallow. We could have gotten so much, but the Russo brothers really ruined everything Taika and Chris build up (and I’m also not someone who blames the actors for how bad their characters turn out, Chris did a fantastic job!).

I’m simply gonna end my long train of thoughts here because now I’m really curious to hear how you think about the whole thing and movie. My inbox and DM’s are open, so don’t feel shy and let us chatter a bit! 😊

Endgame. A long and spoilery post

First things first: oooh this is a freaking good movie! Better that what I expected. There are things I didn't like but it still works and I'd go and see it again just today if I were ready to cry again to the point of dehydatation so soon. Which I'm not, so I'll wait a bit more.

Things I didn't like

The whole time travel thing: Back to the Future and Terminator gave me such strong headcanons that I find it difficult to believe in anything else. Also I found the explanation they gave in the movie confusing and I still feel like it doesn't make much sense in certain points. Doc Brown, you're still the best! So, a big shot of suspension of disbelief for me, thank you. And where the hell Valkyrie found that winged horse anyway?

How they brought the snapped people back: I mean, after five years millions of people are back all at once. Why the world is not into a mass panic crisis? Where are they, exactly? Right where they where when Thanos snapped his fingers? What if they were, like, where not there is a building? A dumpster? A huge pile of rubble? I know this may be considered a minor detail but it just feels like lazy writing to me.

Thor: It even started well. His depression and how he let himself go made him more human and relatable but the forced humor even in battle really doesn't work for me. I so wish we had the pre-Ragnarok Thor back, I loved him so so much. I still have hope for the next Guardians movie tho, and I know this is stupid of me, but stil...

Cap: HONESTLY! After all the mess with Bucky he barely looks at him, like, once? He just leaves and goes to be with Peggy, forgetting his responsabilities, leaving the Avengers right after they lost Nat and Tony? With Vision still being downloaded somewhere and Thor going MIA? As if with Thanos dead there would never be another bad guy ever? All of if wothout even a goodbye? It was forced and OOC. Thanx god I've never been a huge fan of him or I'd be pissed.

Tony: he's dead, I'll never get past it ;__________; Plus he was in so many ships it's like his death sunk a whole fleet.

Captain Marvel: they gave us a whole movie about her just to have her like, stuck in an intergalactic traffic jam so that she could be late to the party? They shouldn't have introduced an hero so strong they can't handle her or else every other movie would last 15 minutes.

Things I did like

Tony: he got closure, he got love, he died a hero. It was such a satisfactory end, not like the one they gave someone else (who said Loki in IW? I didn't say Loki, you said Loki). I won't start babbling about him or I'll end next year and of course it'd have been much better if he'd survived but at least he got an amazing arc and my feels are killing themselves again so I'll stop here. Just one more thing. Who knows with Marvel, with alternate realities and time travels, maybe if one day Robert decides he's feeling nostalgic or he needs some cash for his bills we may have a little bit more of Tony? A cameo here and there. Maybe? Just let me hope ;__;

Loki: somewhere he's alive, he has a gem, he's up to some more mischief and he's still a little shit who impersonates people when he should just shut up and makes fun of the Hulk when he can't get into the elevator. All things considered I'm an happy fangirl. I just hope he meets with Thor again because they deserve it.

Sam and Bucky: damn, I never considered this ship, but now... damn!!

Nat: like Tony, she died an hero. I didn't think I'd cry so much for her but I did and I strongly suspect it's all due to Scarlet's talent, which I always admired anyway. Also, they are doing a Black Widow movie, right? So we're going to see more of her anyway.

Frigga and Howard: while I always loved the first and disliked the second, I'm a total sucker for parents and children reunion/reconciliation/love so, yeah, more tears. I just wish Loki would get to see her again too, since he wasn’t even allowed to her funeral :/

Peter Parker: damn that hug with Tony!!! It almost makes me forget how much the boy had to cry five minutes later seeing yet another father figure go. Almost ;__;

Scott: I never cared much about him and the whole Ant Man franchise, but he was a cute comic relief without being too extra (like Thor :/) so now I can affirm I like him much more than before.

Wanda: angry and powerful. She has so much potential and we still have to see it all, I'm really looking forward to the Disney's series.

How to watch the Marvel movies in order

Here’s a chronological guide to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)

Marvel movies (Image: © Marvel Studios/IMAX) It's never a bad time to start a Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU) marathon – especially with Avengers: Endgame behind us and Marvel Phase 4 on the horizon. The majority of Marvel movies are now streaming on Disney Plus, and in 2020 we'll see new movies like Black Widow added to the canon, along with original MCU TV shows like August's The Falcon and Winter Soldier.

Watching the Marvel movies in order should be straightforward, but there are a few quirks to be aware of. The Marvel movies in chronological order begin with Captain America: The First Avenger, as Steve Rogers battles Red Skull in WW2. But you've also got the option of watching the Marvel movies in release order, too, which starts with 2008's Iron Man as Tony Stark kicks off the MCU.

123movies avengers endgame

MARVEL MOVIES IN ORDER: QUICK LINKS Marvel movies in chronological order Marvel movies in release order Marvel movies on Disney Plus Best Marvel movies

Watching the MCU films in order now will help you make sense of Black Widow and The Eternals, as well as WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – all of which tie in to previous Marvel movies in some way. Below, you'll find lists of the chronological and release orders, and a ranked list of the best Marvel movies. If you're just trying to watch the Avengers movies in order, for example, it means you can avoid the bad ones (sorry, Thor: The Dark World!). In this feature, too, we'll explain which Marvel movies are on Disney Plus in 2020.

Ready? Let's watch some of the best superhero movies ever...

How to watch the Marvel movies in order: chronological order A Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline is likely what you're looking for. This lists all the Marvel films chronologically from The First Avenger to Avengers: Endgame. The main advantage of watching the Marvel movies in this fashion means you'll see important events as they unfolded in the MCU. You'll follow the Tesseract from the '40s to the present day, see how Captain Marvel met Nick Fury in the mid-'90s, and follow Thanos' genocidal journey to obtaining the Infinity Stones.

Here, then, is the chronological viewing order of the Marvel movies:

Captain America: The First Avenger (takes place during WWII) Captain Marvel (takes place in 1995) Iron Man (takes place in 2010) Iron Man 2 (takes place after Iron Man) The Incredible Hulk (time unspecified, pre-Avengers) Thor (time unspecified, pre-Avengers) The Avengers (takes place in 2012) Iron Man 3 (takes place six months after The Avengers) Thor: Dark World (post-Avengers, pre-Ultron) Captain America: Winter Soldier (post-Avengers, pre-Ultron) Guardians of the Galaxy (sometime in 2014) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (after Guardians) Avengers: Age of Ultron (takes place in 2015) Ant-Man (takes place in 2015) Captain America: Civil War (post-Ultron, pre-Infinity War) Spider-Man: Homecoming (post-Civil War, pre-Infinity War) Doctor Strange (takes place in 2016) Black Panther (takes place in 2017) Thor: Ragnarok (post-Ultron, pre-Infinity War) Avengers: Infinity War (takes place in 2017) Ant-Man and The Wasp (ambiguous, but fits nicely between IW and Endgame) Avengers: Endgame (starts in 2017, finishes in 2022) Spider-Man: Far From Home (post-Endgame) When 2020 Marvel movies Black Widow and The Eternals are released, along with canonical Disney Plus shows like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (August) and WandaVision (December), we'll add them to this list when we learn exactly how they fall in the MCU timeline. Black Widow, for example, is definitely set after Captain America: Civil War, but since you can't actually see that movie yet, we've left it off the list above for now.

Avengers movies in order(Image credit: Marvel Studios/Disney) Marvel movies in order: release date If you'd rather see the MCU in release order, however, you'll need this list, which starts with Iron Man in 2008 and culminates in 2019's Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Starting with the first few movies is a nice nostalgia trip, and you'll also see how the Marvel movies were refined over time with increased budgets.

Phase One

Iron Man (2008) The Incredible Hulk (2008) Iron Man 2 (2010) Thor (2011) Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) Marvel’s The Avengers (2012) Phase Two
