Chapter 19: Naming Day

When we reached the twins' naming day, I didn’t feel like I was ready at all. There had been this brief rundown of the procedure that was lost in the middle of all the other things we had happening.

Thor reassured me it would be fine and as long as I just listened and followed instructions, things would be okay.

It would be my first appearance to the public as queen and mother to the heirs since Thour and Nova were born. I was a little nervous but this kind of thing was becoming a little too normal for me now. Things had changed a lot since I first bumped into Natasha all those years ago, that was for sure.

We were all dressed in white with gold accents. No one’s clothing was exactly the same, but the men were all dressed in long white tunics with buttons up the front and high collars, while Natasha, Wanda, and I were in empire-cut dresses made from a light floaty fabric. It was a change from the usual formal wear. No one had any kind of armor, and usually, there was more color involved. Loki explained that this was truly a peaceful event and that dressing for war to name a child was an ill omen. We each wore crowns or circlets on our heads - mine had a blue gem on my forehead and delicate gold wings on the sides. Some of us wore other pieces of jewelry too - Wanda had her usual array of rings, while Natasha and I had opted for bracelets and armbands. Thor had the symbol of Mjolnir around his neck, and Tony wore a watch and a couple of rings. Clint was wearing the most of all of us, with an ear cuff, choker, thick gold cuffs on his wrists and rings.

The babies were in long gowns of dark red and green. “You don’t think we’re deciding which one is the evil one and which one is the good one by dressing them in these, are we?” Clint joked as Natasha and Steve dressed them.

Thor laughed loudly. “I will make sure my brother does not hear that repeated,” he said. “These are just royal colors, and it is important that they stand out above us today as this is their day.”

When we were ready a set of guards led us down to the courtyard of the palace where three carriages were waiting along with what appeared to be dozens of horses tacked and ready to ride. I was led to the lead carriage with Thor, Steve, and the babies, while everyone else split themselves between the other two carriages. The vulparev didn’t like to be separated from the twins by too much and so they jumped in with us, and while Thor and Steve cradled a twin each, the little animals curled up at their feet.

“It’s a shame we can’t all fit in the same carriage,” I said, looking back at the other two behind us.

“Yes, this is a unique situation,” Thor said. “We discussed how to handle it. I tried to talk them out of focusing on the children’s biology, but the elders were stuck on it.”

“What will Clarke do?” I asked. “She’s not exactly a spring chicken anymore.”

“She is riding in a litter with the elders,” Thor said. “Do not worry. We were always going to take care of your friend.”

“Where exactly are we going?” Steve asked.

“To the roots of Ysgradil,” Thor said. “It is a bit of a journey, so get comfortable.”

When we were all in the carriages Billy brought Piper, Flynn, and Zac over. “Loki said to put these guys in with you,” he said as he lifted them in.

“What about Ziggy and Anna?” I asked.

Billy pointed to where Fandral was helping Ziggy onto a white pony. “Gonna try riding for a bit. They may end up in here with you. Sif said it’s a long ride.”

“Look at our grandchildren,” Steve said with a tender smile. “They’re all growing up so fast.”

“Alright,” Billy said. “You three, be good for your grandparents.”

“We wiwl,” Piper said, sitting up next to Thor.

“See you there,” Billy said.

“Are we ready?” Riley called. She sat on a large white horse by the gates. A few shouts of confirmation came from the guards. “Onward!”

She and Pietro took the lead and our large convoy followed after them. Our carriage went next, followed by the other two. Loki, Sif, the warriors three, and our children all rode their horses beside the carriages, and behind them the guards.

The convoy pulled out into the streets of the city. People lined the roads cheering as we passed and then joined in at the end, and soon thousands of people on foot and riding weaved through the streets and out into the forest beyond.

As we moved along, up into the mountains people would approach and speak to us. Thor was who they mostly sought out - mostly telling him that they were glad he was back, and congratulating him on the birth of the twins, though they did speak to me, Steve, and the little ones too, and I saw them walking alongside our children and having longer conversations.

It was a long trip and on the way up the twins were breastfed and fell asleep and Flynn, Piper, and Zak all got very hungry and restless. We ended up making a little picnic for them on the floor of the carriage to help deal with both issues. Thankfully having the vulparev with us helped to distract them and they spent a lot of time playing with the little animals.

As we reached the ruins of old Asgard where Sam and I had found the large free-standing door, Tommy pulled his horse up beside us. “Oh my god, how long is it going to take to get there?”

“We are close now,” Thor assured him. “Have some patience.”

“I could still be back at the palace taking a bath right now if I’d been allowed to run,” Tommy complained. “And now my ass hurts.”

“That was a little too much information,” I teased and he made a face at me. “Didn’t you want to hit on the Valkyries or something?” I asked. “There’s a whole group back there.”

He huffed. “They talk to me like I’m a cute little kid or something. It’s humiliating. And you know what else is humiliating? Being sent back to school and your sister who is eleven years younger than you being in the same classes as you and her being so much better at them.”

“There are few people who can compare themselves to Marya when it comes to book-smarts, Tommy,” Steve said. “She got the genius genes. She wouldn’t exactly expect to beat you at track and field.”

“I suppose,” he said.

“Having trouble fitting in?” I asked, reaching over the side of the carriage.

He took my hand and gave it a small squeeze before letting it go again. “No. I mean, maybe a little. I’m alright. I’m used to having to weed out people who are just trying to use me to touch fame or money. But here the people who aren’t doing that are either super formal because I’m a prince or they see me as a little kid because they’re all thousands of years old. But I’m sure they’re not all thousands of years old, so I’ll figure it out.”

“When they are more comfortable with you outside your ranking the age thing will no longer matter,” Thor said. “We live so long that it becomes unimportant. What is important is connections.”

“Yeah,” he said with a nod. “I mean, Becca is there too, having to adjust to it. I guess I’ll figure it out.”

“If you wish to take a step back from the classes that may be possible. We can find a role for you,” Thor said.

“No, it’s okay. I do like the idea of one day being an advisor to you,” he said. “So I’m thinking of it like college where I am learning to do that.”

“That’s a good attitude, son,” Steve said.

“Just remember, what we want most is for you to be happy and thriving,” I said. “If you aren’t, we’ll do whatever we can to make sure you are.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Tommy said. “I know. I know. Thanks, mom.”

The canopy above began to thicken and it wasn’t long until we had pulled up into a clearing in front of the largest tree I had ever seen in my life. It was thicker around the base than a large house and looking up I couldn’t even see the top. It had large branches that spread out covering the entire clearing and the base was gnarled and twisted, the roots twisting up around it before burying themselves deep in the ground below.

A flurry of activity began to take place in readiness for the ceremony. As we climbed from the carriage a group of elders dismounted from their horses and began chanting below the tree, praying to the old gods and the tree itself.

The horses and carriages were moved out of sight, and around the edge of the clearing and through the center, tables were being set up with enough food to cater to everyone that had followed us here.

Those of us who were important to the ceremony were guided to the base of the tree where a series of circles had been made with colorful pebbles around the base. While Steve and Thor held the babies, the rest of our children were guided to sit in the circles, leaving the two spots free at the front free.

When things seemed to have been set up and the large crowd had all gathered around, spreading out down the road we had traveled up to get here, one of the elders stepped up onto the roots of Ysgradil and began to speak.

“We gather here at the base of the world tree for this joyful and sacred occasion that is the first rite of passage we each make as Asgardians. Let each soul truly be here that those gathered may be blended in one sacred space, with one purpose and one voice,” he called out, his voice carrying through the open space.

“Hail spirits of this sacred land, you whose beauty and power inspires us. Spirits of the high skies that guide us to stretch and grow, ancestors of light that guide us and provide us with warmth, cloud spirits that paint the sky and nourish our lands, and the cool breeze providing us with the breath of life, provide us with your blessing for these children,” he said. “Spirits of the dark soil that holds and feeds us; mud of our lands, rich and fertile which we so deeply root; rocks, stones, and gems that give us stability, plants, and creatures that make their home here with us on Asgard, provide us with your blessings for these children.”

As he spoke the elders had begun to build a shrine by the roots of the tree containing soil and gems, water, wine, plants, and things such as furs and feathers. “Spirits of the open sea that wash over the edge of the world and lap at the shores; meandering rivers, guiding our direction, birthing springs of new life, deep still pools holding us upon our journey; you the tidal waters, emerging and receding, blood and rain, provide us with your blessings for these children. Blessed be as blessed is.”

When the shrine had been finished and some incense was burning Thor and Steve were directed to place the babies in the last two circles. Icy and Inky curled up beside them, their tails blanketing the little bundles.

“We gather together at the base of Ysgradil under the gaze of our ancestors to witness this sacred rite of naming and welcoming the sons and daughters of Thor, our king, and ruler of the nine realms,” the elder announced. “We come to give thanks for the wonder of new life and to honor the task of raising these children to be our leaders.”

Two women stepped forward and moved to the opposite ends of the line of our children, one was very old and stooped, and the other I actually recognized. It was Katveil who had done the Henhalda on me for our bonding ceremony. She crouched in front of Pietro at the far end and with a fine paintbrush began to paint runes on his face. The woman at the other end of the line was doing the same to Riley.

“To know where you have come from we must first honor those that have come first to this place. Odin the Allfather and his wife Frigga. Bor father of Odin and his wife Bestla. Bor’s father Buri, first god and bringer of life to us all. We honor you here at the world tree and ask for your blessings today for your grandchildren and those that will carry your legacy,” the elder said, as the artists moved up the line painting on each of our children.

“Thor and Elise, Steven and James, Clinton and Natasha, Anthony and Robert, Samuel and Wanda, you have brought your children to this place on the occasion of their first rite. As their parents, you have principal responsibility for the wellbeing of their bodies and souls throughout the journey of their childhood. Do you agree to hold this responsibility wholeheartedly, in freedom, with love and joy, with patience and trust?” The elder asked.

“We do,” we said as one.

“Then let it be so,” the elder said. The old lady and Katveil had reached the babies and they each kneeled beside them.

“Blessed by the power of creation, this child begins his journey of life, and for his path, he is offered a name. As he grows and chooses his own way, he may accept or take another name for himself, but he is yet at the beginning of his journey. There is power in a name. It is an innovation and a prayer, a gift that is given with poignancy and emotion. What is the name you now offer your son?” the elder asked.

“Nova Modi,” Thor answered and the old lady began painting Nova's face, making the little boy whine and wriggle in the circle. Inky’s hackles went up, but rather than try and keep the woman away, he nuzzled and licked at Nova’s face to reassure the baby that things were okay.

“Nova Modi Skjodbærer, Son of Thor and his chosen consorts, prince of Asgard and tenth in line to the throne of Asgard, I present you to your people,” he said and lifted the infant into the air for everyone to see. There was a loud cheer from all gathered that carried out back to those too far to see at all.

“Nova! Welcome, Nova!” The crowd cheered.

The elder placed Nova back in his circle. “Blessed by the power of creation, this child begins her journey of life, and for her path, she is offered a name. As she grows and chooses her own way, she may accept or take another name for herself, but she is yet at the beginning of her journey. There is power in a name. It is an invocation and a prayer, a gift that is given with poignancy and emotion. What is the name you now offer your daughter?”

“Thour Katherine,” Thor replied, and this time Katviel began to paint on her. The little girl closed her eyes and made a soft ‘ahh’ sound. Icy wagged his tails happily as the baby seemed to enjoy the soft touches of the paintbrush.

“Thour Katherine Skjodbærer, daughter of Thor and his chosen consorts, princess of Asgard and eleventh in line to the throne of Asgard, I present you to your people,” the elder said and lifted her above his head.

“Thour!” The crowd cheered. “Welcome, Thour!”

A group of attendants approached our group and handed out goblets of mead and pieces of dense bread to everyone. “In order to know in certainty that the flow of this rite is done, we share, while still under the sacred tree, a celebratory drink,” the elder said. “Blessing upon each of you.”

We all took a drink and a bite of bread and then Thor whispered to me. “Take your cup to someone in the crowd, have the others follow.”

As I did that, handing my goblet and the bread to a woman in the crowd, Thor couched and dipped his thumb into the mead and pressed it to Nova’s lips. He repeated the action with Thour and then handed the goblet and bread to an old man.

As we took our places we watched as the bread and mead was passed down from person to person. The attendants followed on filling the cups if they emptied and replacing the bread.

“On behalf of Thor and his chosen, and also Thour, Nova, and their siblings whose names you all know but have only now been blessed, I give thanks to all those who have gathered here this day, in body and spirit, seen and unseen. To the ancestors of this line that have come to witness this rite, we give you thanks for your presence and your blessings. From the base of Ysgradil, we bid you hale and farewell. To the spirits of the land, and air and water, we give you thanks for your presence and your blessings. We bid you hale and farewell. To the spirit of Ysgradil the world tree that holds all the nine realms in its roots and branches, we thank you and bid you hale and farewell. Let us take a moment of silence and feel what has been gained today, that after our celebrations, we leave this place and take its gifts and memories with us and honor them fully as we honor these children.”

We all fell silent and lowered our heads. Even with the large group who were still passing the bread and mead, the only sound was the children and the wind through the trees. Finally, the elder broke the silence. “Go in peace. Blessed be as blessed is.”

Thor picked up the babies and the rest of our children got up and stretched. “I wasn’t expecting the other kids to be involved,” I said, as I took Thour from him.

“They wanted them to have the blessings too, even though they already have their names,” Thor explained.

I kissed his cheek and went over to speak to Katveil. “Hey, Kat, it’s been a long time,” I said.

“My lady,” Katveil said, lowering her head.

“Kat,” I scolded. “We’ve talked about this.”

“I’m sorry,” she said with a shy smile. “It has been a while.”

I hugged her. “I would love to spend some time with you,” I said. “If you have any. I only know Thor’s friends here. I’d like to make some of my own.”

“Oh,” Katveil said. “I would love that.”

“Will Thor know how to find you?” I asked.

“I’m sure he would,” she said with a nod, and then looking like she was summoning all her courage she reached over and played with Thour’s hand. “She is very cute.”

“Thank you,” I said. “She looks a lot like Steve. And he is very pretty.”

She giggled. “You are very attractive too. I am sure I can see some of you there too.”

“Thank you,” I said. “Come with me for a second would you?”

She nodded and I led her over to where Tommy was talking to Rebecca. “Tommy, meet my friend, Katveil, this is Tommy. Katveil did my body art back when I bonded with the rest of your parents.”

Tommy gave me a look that told me he knew exactly what I was doing and he would play along but he wasn’t happy about it. “Hey, Katveil,” he said, offering her his hand.

“Hello,” she said. “You can call me Kat.”

Tommy looked from Kat to me and then back to Kat, letting out a breath. “Kat, did you want to get something to eat with me? I am still learning what Asgardian food is good or not.”

That last bit was a blatant lie, but I appreciated that he was making the effort.

“It would be my pleasure,” she said, excitedly. “Follow me.”

Tommy shot me one last resigned look and then followed Katveil to one of the long tables.

“Mom,” Rebecca said, tutting me. “Setting up your kids. For shame.”

“Oh hush,” I laughed. “He told me that he’s having trouble fitting in and Kat is the sweetest person I’ve ever met. I don’t expect them to get married. But she will be a good friend.”

“Aww, Tommy’s got no friends,” Rebecca teased. “Needs mommy to find him some.”

“Hey you,” I scolded. “Don’t think you’re too old for me to ground.”

“I think I am,” she laughed. “But I won’t rub it in. This is kind of a hard change. It’s nice you’re trying to help. Hope it doesn’t backfire.”

I looked over to where Tommy and Katveil were discussing the different foods. Katveil pulled a face and Tommy threw his head back laughing. I had a feeling that things were going to work out just fine with them.

I said a while ago that I would post more TTT related stuff that wasn’t just comic pages, so here’s an expression meme for y’all

original base by MagicalPouch

Just a few things to clarify:

1C, 3A, 4D, 5C, 5E, and 5F are OCs. Their names are Cherry (Red Alex), Bex (Blue Alex), Blaze (Red Steve), Chuck (Purple Steve), Comet (Blue Alex), and Rose (Red Alex)

2A, 2C, 3F and 5A (Yellow, Blue, Purple, and Evil!Elder Blue Steve from Origins) have been nicknamed Cyber, Winter, Mauve, and Cedric respectively, because calling them (color) Steve is pretty boring and repetitive. All other color Stevexes have been given this treatment.

And finally, 3B is Hypno, just in case you didn’t recognize him from my header or the art from my main blog. He has two designs (which might be a spoiler for later chapters, but whatever). I drew him in this form because I think it looks cooler.

What I Read in July 2021

Oh, man, this is gonna be a long post. I bookmarked 33 fics, all of them Harry Potter related, with a few cross-overs.

Forget-Me-Not by Lomonaaeron *favorite*

Plot: Harry isn’t the Boy-Who-Lived, but his parents still died, and Albus Dumbledore, concerned that Death Eaters might seek the boy’s death, cast a powerful charm on him to make wizards ignore him before Harry was left with the Dursleys. Except, with the Elder Wand in play, the charm was far too powerful, and made others essentially forget Harry existed when not directly interacting with him. Sorted into Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, Harry lives a contented life with no one either loving or hating him…until the charm breaks on his seventeenth birthday, and he’s suddenly plunged directly into the middle of a living world at war.

Characters: Harry, Theo Nott, Dumbledore, Neville, Ollivander, Lupin, Rabastan Lestrange, Ron, Hermione, Draco, original non-human characters, Peter Pettigrew, Umbridge

Relationships: Harry Potter/Theo Nott

Warnings: none apply

Tags: ancient runes, socially awkward Harry Potter, Ravenclaw Harry Potter, Harry Potter is not the boy-who-lived, angst, romance, horcruxes, muggleborn registration commission, blood magic

My Notes: I inhaled this in one sitting and then cried for like 10 minutes afterwards, it’s so beautifully written, it became an instant favorite

*complete*

He Turned Around by ChipOfftheOldSoul *favorite*

Plot: When the Goblet of Fire spit out Harry's name that Halloween night, he was told to join the other champions. Instead, he turned around and walked away.

Characters: Harry, Snape, Draco, Ron, Hermione, Victor Krum, Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Crabbe, Goyle, Daphne Greengrass, Fred & George, Marcus Flint, Millicent Bulstrode, Tracey Davis

Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter; Harry Potter & Severus Snape; Draco Malfoy & Severus Snape

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, mentioned homophobia

Tags: book 4, good Severus Snape, good Draco Malfoy, good Slytherins, smart Harry Potter, Dumbledore bashing, manipulative Dumbledore, past child abuse, runes, slow burn, enemies to friends to lovers, Slytherin Harry Potter, Hogwarts House re-sort, no Ron bashing but he’s not great for a while

My Notes: I’ve already read this twice in less than a week period and I cannot wait until it’s updated (hopefully it’ll be updated) and I absolutely love the way it’s written and Harry’s characterization. I also very much appreciate that there won’t be Ron bashing, I’ve read too many Ron bashing fics, but I am here for all of the Dumbledore bashing!

*incomplete* [last updated June 2021]

Stars by LilyIsAwesomerThanYou

Plot: When Snape discovers Harry's abusive past during an Occlumency lesson, Harry panics. Snape is forced to take care of him in the aftermath. Mentor/guardian fic. As always, no slash.

Characters: Harry Potter, Severus Snape, Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione

Relationships: Gen

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, emotional/psychological abuse, suicidal thoughts, suicide attempt, depression

Tags: Severitus, angst, drama, past abuse, hurt/comfort, mentor Snape, guardian Snape, occlumency

My Notes: Snape is a dick in this one, and so far he has not gotten any better, just a warning, but there’s some great Harry angst going on here (that’s why I bookmarked it). Yeah, Snape is pretty evil in this one, there’s some victim blaming and just straight up verbal abuse from him.

*incomplete* [last updated 2018]

violet hill by rejectedreality

Plot: Where Harriet Potter is Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes’ soulmate.

Fandoms: Harry Potter & MCU

Characters: Bucky Barnes, Harry Potter, Steve Rogers, Hermione, Ron

Relationships: Bucky Barnes/Harry Potter; Steve Rogers/Harry Potter; Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers; Bucky/Steve/Harry

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse, emotional/psychological abuse

Tags: fem!Harry Potter, soulmate-identifying marks, age difference, angst with a happy ending, it gets worse before it gets better

My Notes: this is so, so, so fucking beautiful! I am straight up in love with this fic, and I am so sad that it hasn’t been updated for a few years because there was so much potential. There are some hints at underage couples, as Harry’s 15 while Bucky and Steve are adults, but nothing actually happens.

*incomplete* [last updated 2017]

trapped in a blue haze by MourningElegance

Plot: “And in that moment, Draco knows. He knows that all his deep-rooted suspicions about Harry’s childhood are terribly, horribly true.” As their relationship grows, so do Draco’s misgivings about Harry’s past.

Rating: Explicit!!!

Characters: Harry, Draco

Relationships: Harry/Draco

Warnings: explicit sexual content, implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: established relationship, smut, porn with plot, explicit sexual content, fluff and angst, hurt/comfort, cuddling, post-war, post-Hogwarts, auror Harry Potter, POV Draco, character study, sickfic, epilogue what epilogue, injury

*complete*

From the Dungeons by huntersg1rl

Plot: One conversation goes slightly differently. How much does it change? Features a caring Snape, supportive Malfoys, strong friendships, and Slytherin Harry.

Characters: Harry, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Daphne, Snape, Narcissa, Lucius, Sirius, Remus, Pomfrey, Dumbledore

Relationships: pre-Harry/Draco; Severus Snape & Harry Potter

Warnings: implied/referenced child abuse

Tags: Slytherin Harry Potter, Good Severus Snape, good Lucius Malfoy, good Narcissa Malfoy, manipulative Dumbledore, POC Harry, animagus transformation, wizengamot, politics and culture

My Notes: YA’LL! This one is so cool! It’s going under some major maintenance at the moment, so it’ll be a bit of a wait until it gets going again but I recommend reading it immediately before the changes get enacted. I don’t want to spoil anything, but Harry’s a BAMF in this series, especially when we get to book 3

*incomplete* [this is a series, first three parts are completed, last updated February 2021]

Fighting for Freedom by dreamsofmermaids

Plot: At the end of a horrific fourth year, Harry overhears something on the train back to London that sets in motion a series of events that will reveal truths, change decisions, and send Harry on a path to true freedom. But nothing comes without a fight.

Fandoms: Harry Potter & Criminal Minds

Characters: Harry, Snape, Aaron Hotchner, Spencer Reid, Jason Gideon, Emily Prentiss, Sirius Black, Voldemort

Relationships: to be announced (I know, I’m sorry, I hate this too)

The heir of something or other by diregewithoutmusic

Plot: When kids in the Slytherin Common Room tossed jeers at the pudgy feet of Millicent Bulstrode, Harry rose up to do something about it. This Harry, now one of Snape’s own, got fewer House points lost but many more detentions– it had never been the colors on his hem that Severus hated. This was not wishing Harry an easy path. This was not wishing the boy a warm House. This was Harry, three weeks in, sleep deprived and considering running away and going back to Privet Drive. This was Harry in the back of Potions class, blank-faced under Snape’s disdain the way he’d perfected under the Dursleys’s torments. When Quirrell shouted “troll in the dungeons, thought you ought to know,” and Harry overheard that there was a girl in the bathroom crying, he still ran off to make sure she got out okay. He hesitated first, at the back of the little pack of Slytherin first years (at the back so that no one could get behind him)– he hesitated. And Millicent Bulstrode, who could never quite keep her tummy tucked in enough, could never brush all the cat hair off her robes, never quite keep her temper in check, hesitated, too.

Characters: Harry, Millicent, Colin Creevey, Hermione, Dennis Creevey, Luna, Ron, Draco, Astoria, Daphne, Pansy, Neville, Susan Bones

Relationships: gen

Warnings: major character death

Tags: Slytherin Harry, canon typical violence

My Notes: this made me cry. It like actually made me cry. I don’t cry when I read fanfiction, but this one actually made me cry, it’s been two weeks and I still feel like crying thinking about this fic, but that being said it’s written so beautifully.

Relationships: minor Lily/Snape; Harry & Snape; Hermione & Ron & Harry

Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, suicidal thoughts, minor character death

Tags: Severitus, present tense, powerful Harry, Snape is Harry’s biological father, unhealthy coping mechanisms, independent Harry

My Notes: wow this one made me so mad for Harry. Sirius and Remus are not Harry’s friends, nor Dumbledore. Be warned, as good as this fic is, you will be very angry at all the adults in this fic. Snape isn’t a loving father type, and their relationship isn’t the greatest but it’s better than nothing by the end.

The Tainted Blood of the Father by StarLight_Massacre *favorite*

Fandoms: Supernatural & Harry Potter

Plot: Harry has broken away from his chains after the Dursleys go too far. A simple desire to make a withdrawal from Gringotts leads to something much larger and exposes more than he ever knew about himself. A rushed, impulsive trip to America changes his entire life as he might have just found himself a true family to call his own.

Characters: Harry, John Winchester, Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Bobby

Relationships: Gen

Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, implied/referenced child abuse, attempted sexual assault

Tags: Awkward Winchesters trying to deal with Harry, cinnamon roll Harry

My Notes: The dynamic between Harry and the Winchesters shouldn’t work this well, but they absolutely do. Harry is a little Sam, he acts so much like him it’s so cute and everyone finds it so cute. Really great amount of angst and hurt/comfort. Doesn’t deal with the wizard side of things that much but I expect that’ll change in the upcoming chapters. Author has stated they don’t know if the Winchesters ever will find out that Harry’s a wizard, however, so keep that in mind

Sarcasm and Slytherin by orphan_account *favorite*

Plot: After ten years of misery with the Dursleys, Harry Potter learns that he has magic. Except, in this story, it's not a surprise-the only surprise is that there are others like him.

My Notes: I’m not sure why it’s now an orphan account or if it will ever be updated, but I’ve seen a lot of people on reddit compare this with Prince of Slytherin (a series I haven’t read because I chose this one over it) so be cautious of that. I straight up want to murder James Potter, though, so that’s a nice thought. I finally finished it! I started this back in early June and I miss it a lot, I spent many hours reading this.

Creatures in the dark Part 2

Pairing: witch!Steve x Reader

Warning: yandere, obsession, kidnapping, allusion to non-con.

Words: 2454.

Summary: A monster dressed in human flesh was waiting for you in the woods.

Part 1

____________

That night neither your grandfather nor you returned to your beds. Despite being afraid of revealing your secret, you told him everything: about the Plague and your encounter with the dead and the boy with a lantern who you thought came to save you. Your grandfather, and old, but tough man, had cried upon hearing your story, and you cried too. You didn't remember him dropping a single tear when his wife or grandson had died, but now his face was all wet.

Once the first ray of sun reached your house through the crack in a wooden shutter, the old man rushed to the witch living in a hut at the end of the village while you stayed home, putting more ash to the door. You didn't know whether the monster lurking in the woods could walk in the daylight, but you didn't want to risk it. Maybe he wasn't as powerful as the Plague if her mark prevented him from casting a spell on you, yet he was obviously strong enough to tear a human being apart.

You had no idea how much time you spent there all alone, praying in the corner, but your grandfather returned with both the witch and one of the elders, all of them with grim expression on their dirty faces.

"Not good, not good." The old woman whose grey hair were covered with a bleak blue scarf told you, spinning around you and shaking her head. "Not good at all."

"What's not good, granny Iva?" You asked, calling her the same way you did when you were a little girl. "What do you see?"

"The blessing of the Rotten One does no harm to you, dearest child, but she gave it to you for a reason. The boy you saw was no boy at all. His scent is all over you." Her quiet raspy voice sounded like a thunder to you.

"We'll wash it off!" Your grandfather exclaimed in despair. "I'll bring water and wood to the bathhouse-"

"Silly man, no water can help you wash it off her." The elder said in return, stepping closer and looking at your forehead suspiciously. "What's already done can't be reversed now. Besides, if the Plague herself had told you it's your fate to meet the monster in the woods, we mortals can do little about it."

"But he'll take me away. He will drag me out of the house and eat me alive!"

"No, my dear. That horned monster doesn't eat human flesh. He came to claim you." The old witch whispered, taking the red like blood beads out of her pocket. "To wed you, whether you come willingly or not."

Horrified with the revelation, you felt hot tears falling down your cheeks, and your grandfather quickly embraced you, dropping a kiss to your forehead. Looking at the two angrily, he shouted, "I'll better die than give her to that creature."

"Whether you want it or not, there's not much we can help her with." The witch bit her dry, chapped lips. "My magic has never been as strong as his even when I was young and powerful. But I keep wondering why Plague had given you a blessing, yet asked you not to run from the monster. Why? What is the meaning behind her words? What strength did she grant you with her mark?"

"H-he said I wouldn't rot now." You muttered, leaning closer to the old man. "Nothing else. What other strength could it give me?"

The woman motioned to the elder, and he returned to the door, opening it a little. Before your grandfather had snapped at him furiously, the witch pointed at something on the floor. As you looked there, you saw nothing suspicious and furrowed your brows. What was there so special? As you turned your head to the woman to ask her, your grandfather suddenly gasped.

"Look! Your shadow!"

Carefully observing it again, you realized yours was much longer than shadows of others, though you were all standing close, and it couldn't possibly be the play of light. You gulped down and bit your tongue painfully. What was that all about? What was this power, if there was any at all?

You slowly moved your arm, and the shadow moved its own, following your command as it always did. Except for its length, there was nothing particularly strange.

"Ask it to move by itself."

"What do you mean? How do I ask for it?"

"Just make a wish, it's simple."

Your grandfather was pretty much terrified with witch's words, and for a moment you thought you had never seen him like that in your entire life. The elder, however, didn't look suprised even the slightest bit, and the old woman was almost eager to see what would happened next.

Chewing your lips to bits, you closed your eyes, scared and confused. The next moment you heard one more gasp, knowing that your shadow did exactly what you demanded it to - detach itself from you and move to the wall behind the witch. Dear God, she was right. The blessing gave you something you shouldn't have.

"I don't understand anything at all!" You exclaimed loudly, tearing yourself away from your grandfather and moving back, covering your face with your palms. "Why didn't she tell me about it? And why give me power if I can't escape the monster, anyway?"

"If you can't run... it doesn't mean you can't fight." The wise woman muttered under her breath, but all of you heard her, and you chocked on air. Fight? Fight this deadly creature wandering in the woods?

You asked the shadow to move to the other wall, and it did it again. Dear God, maybe the witch was right.

"Teach her!" You heard your grandfather's desperate voice and saw him gripping the witch's wrinkly arm. "Take whatever I have, but-"

The elder rolled his eyes at this outburst, shaking his head with irritation. "Are you out of your mind, old fool? We will do anything we can. I have not become the elder to watch young girls being snatched away by monsters."

"And now shut up, you two. We don't have much time before the boy comes back. Bring me the bread, the blackberry, and a few candles, now."

____________

It had been two long days before the witch sensed your monster was coming back. You barely slept, spending all your time listening and doing what granny Iva had told you, watching the miracles you could now do all by yourself. She was right, the Plague did grant you power, and though you barely knew what to do with it, even the possibility to fight the creature brought you so much joy.

The woman called him the witch boy. You found it odd: was he the son of some other witch living in the forest? Laughing at you, the elder pointed out the clear difference: granny Iva was a woman who learnt witchcraft, but the boy was the one who was born with magic coursing through his veins, able to see the ghosts and cast spells most humans couldn't. He was only half mortal, and he was probably born to an evil spirit and a human woman. Judging by the huge antlers growing from his head, he was most likely the son of Yeev, the evil deer living in the Northern forests. People used to make human sacrifices to him, bringing him women he apparently mated with. Granny Iva had never heard of him having any children, but maybe one of those poor sacrificial brides was able to bear Yeev a son.

You wouldn't be able to defeate the boy right away, you realized. Although the Plague had granted you power, it would take time to learn how to use it, and the monster would hardly wait for it. You would have to go with him and figure out how to defeat him all by yourself. However, your magic would be enough to keep him from harming you, and it was already something.

That night granny Iva had given your grandfather a sleeping potion secretly. He didn't know that you would still have to leave with the monster, and you couldn't bare watching the old man struggle against it. It was better to put him to sleep.

When the monster opened the door, you had already been prepared to leave and turned to face him, suddely seeing not the skinny boy, but a huge bearded man who barely fit into the door frame. The ash near the door burnt out the very same moment he stepped inside, blue sparks flying the air.

"Were you waiting for me?" He smiled, walking into the house, his body muscular and strong as if he were a blacksmith.

You gawked at him, unsure whether he was the monster you were waiting for. Where was that little boy with a lantern, unhealthy pale and terribly thin?

"Don't look so surprised, little one. I took this form because I thought you'd like it better." Crossing the room, he barely looked at the elderly man, snoring lightly in the corner, and moved closer to you as you backed away from him involuntarily. "Don't be so cold, love. I didn't hurt you, did I?"

You pressed your lips into a thin line, looking displeased and clenching your fists. That monster dared to play with you.

"This isn't funny, boy. Why would I care what form you take?" You said, figthing the urge to grab a handful of blackberries your pockets were full with and force them down the creature's throat. "Just get it over with."

Looking at your grim face, he offered you to take his hand, watching you intently with those dark blue eyes of his, and you reached out to him, biting your lips. You had definitely built up some courage from the night you met him, you thought, as he drew you closer, touching your hair. Running his fingers through it, the boy - the man - smiled at you again and drew a little symbol on your forehead, watching you becoming more nervous. Tensed, you furrowed your brows.

"Let's go." You urged him, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the door. "I don't want my grandfather to wake up and see you taking me away."

The man hummed with content and went after you, closing the door once both of you were outside. Feeling the chill in the air, you rubbed your shoulder and looked back at the man with irritation. He was still smiling at you, and you didn't like it.

Turning away from him, you had placed a few blackberries into your mouth, trying not to smash it with your teeth, and then immediately closed the distance between the two of you, wrapping your hands around his shoulders and pressing your mouth to his. The man had opened his lips as if he welcomed you. You felt uneasy when he took all the berries willingly. Apparently, he knew of granny Iva's witchcraft.

"You can give me more." He whispered, his short beard brushing against your gentle skin. "It will be more fun this way."

You growled in frustration at his insolence, grasping a handful of blackberries and showing them into his mouth. Taking them all obediently, the man forced your hand to his lips as he licked the dark juicy drops from your skin, slipping his tongue between your fingers. Your face was growing hot with every passing second, but his grip was too strong to push the monster away.

All of a sudden, the antlers on his head appeared again, surrounded by a halo of cold blue light. The magic was starting to show his true colors.

His mouth was dirty with a few berries that got smashed when you pressed your palm against his lips, and you felt an odd urge to lick the little dark spots in the corners of his mouth clean. Damn, he was using his own magic, too.

"Let's go." You grumbled and started to walk in the direction of the woods, not wanting to awake the villagers. The man laughed behind your back and took your hand, speading up.

The silence between you as you moved was unbearable, but you didn't utter a single word until you finally reached the forest, the mist spreading slowly in between the trees. Glancing at the man, you saw he was still in that new form and chew your own tongue. When he was small, it was so much easier to imagine how you would outpower him.

"Could you please turn into the boy again?" You demanded as he came closer - you tried to hide your fear beneath the irritation.

The man chuckled, "Are you saying you'll be more obedient if I stay like this?"

Reaching out to the pocket of your dress, you smashed a few berries in your palm, colouring your skin with the sweet juice, and drew a sign on your arm before the monster reacted. You felt the wind growing stronger as you smiled at him wickedly. If the Plague herself had given you her blessing, you wouldn't become a mere prey of the creature wandering in the woods. You were not a sacrificial lamb.

The man jumped at you the next moment, and you two rolled on the ground, fighting for dominance. Cursing and growling, you bited and kicked and pushed, feeling the creature's cold hands caressing your body through the clothes. No, you wouldn't let him take you like that. Not now, not ever. Gathering all your strength and covering your palm in smashed berry pulp, you grabbed one of the antlers, and the man moaned under you, his huge form slowly changing until you saw a skinny boy lying beneath you. Amazed, he stared at you and stroked your hips lovingly with his arms growing warmer, licking his lips.

"You are so pretty." The boy muttered, looking at you through his trembling lashes. "Kiss me. Please."

Although you wanted to get up, instead you leaned closer, dropping a kiss to his soft discoloured lips and brushing your nose against his. Inhaling his earthy smell, you moved away quickly, glaring at him. Damn it, his magic was still bending you to his will.

"Don't you understand I won't stop?" You grunted, squeezing his antler stronger and making the boy wince and moan again, sitting on top of him. "I will learn, and I will fight you. I'm not gonna be your obedient little girl, listening to your every whim."

"Fight me." The boy whispered, and you felt something hard rising beneath you, brushing against your thigh. "Charm me; curse me. Do whatever you want to me, love. Just stay close."

I have 2 questions about the NRLR Swap Au, What would elder blue's villain -> antihero arc be like, and what would rainbow steve's switch to being a good guy be like

Rainbow’s redemption ideas were discussed in a previous ask.

Since Elder Blue also had a failed attempt at psychologically torturing the heroes, maybe Nightmare escaping his torment will make Elder Blue reconsider what strength and power truly mean. He’ll go off to reflect and end up becoming an anti-hero who serves no one but himself and his own sense of justice. (Looking back at this, this makes no sense to me. But eh, just throwing an idea out there. Feel free to add onto this.)

Thank you for the ask, anon!

The Depths Part 4

Warnings: None

Word Count: 1,184

Author’s Note: Sorry this is a day late!

This is Part 4 - Links to Parts 1-3 are HERE.

THIS IS NOT ENDGAME CANON. Sorry, not sorry. It’s my world and I can do what I want.

Please reblog and leave me some love. It really does mean the world to me! This has been an absolute labor of love and I can’t wait for next Friday. -xo- Allie

Despite Thor’s timely arrival, Bucky knew they were struggling. He’d long been out of ammunition and had taken to using the serum in his veins and the sharpest knife he’d been able to find. They’d learned Stark was battling Thanos somewhere in space so they had to defend Earth on their own.

Suddenly the Outriders stopped. All of them. Every beast on the field locked in place.

They went from feral, violent beasts to near catatonic with their heads tilted.

“What the fuck?” Bucky looked towards Steve who looked as confused as he felt. Around them, people were slowly getting to their feet and checking each other for injuries while warily watching as the sky to the west erupted into black boiling clouds and when everyone looked to Thor, he shook his head.

“That is not my doing.”

The crack of thunder was enough to make them all wince but the outriders continued their stillness but they slowly began to sway to some unheard music.

Bucky stared at them and then realization dawned over him. He turned back to the swirling mass of clouds that was over the area of his Wakandan home and the nearby village.

And the lake.

The pearl on his wrist felt hot, throbbing like it was alive.

He looked back at the hypnotic sway of the beasts and grabbed Steve’s arm. “This could be very good or very bad. We have to get over there. Keep everyone else here.”

“Buck…”

“Don’t ask. Not yet. I just need you to trust me.”

Steve stared at him for a moment and then nodded. The two of them took off towards the storm, Steve relaying for everyone to stay in place and on their guard while they investigated.

Bucky’s blue eyes never left the twisting clouds as they covered ground super soldier fast.

“This is completely unsettling.” Steve glanced at Bucky as they passed another pack of non-moving outriders.

When they crested the hill that overlooked the valley where the village and lake were, Bucky grabbed Steve’s arm to stop him.

The grass beneath their feet had frozen and crunched under their boots. Both of them stared at the piles of bodies, some human but most were the frozen remains of the invading aliens. At the concentric circles that surrounded a tiny specter in white with her hands to the sky.

“Oh shit.”

I stood on the banks, a water wraith in all her glorious fury. I pulled down the clouds, draining them of their moisture until it filled my hands…and then filled the lungs of the monsters that dare attack the people I now consider mine.

You don’t have to be in the water to drown, the water just has to be in you.

I made my way towards the heart of the village, each beast that attacked gave me more anger to use against the next.

It was one of the smaller villages, only housed a dozen or so families. Those still alive were hiding in the largest home.

“Go.” My voice was soft but harsh, but I didn’t want risk raising it and accidentally using the power building up inside me. “Go to the water.”

They ran past me, filing to the lake’s edge.

The lake shallows now filled with creatures of all shapes and sizes from friendly faced otters to massive ancient turtles. They waited patiently to ferry the survivors towards a small island towards the center of this side of the lake. The last one was the village elder, a soft spoken woman, bent with age. She stopped and put her hand on my arm. When I turned to face her, she tapped her ear. It was packed with bees wax and cloth. She smiled knowingly before she climbed onto the back of a turtle who began to slowly make his way away with her.

Above me, the sky was an angry bruise, black as pitch as the power in my veins built. I closed my eyes and began to hum, just enough to still the creatures as they poured over the hill. When I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by them. They formed multiple ring around me, swaying hypnotically to the beat of my music.

I shift my weight, still unused to the sensation of legs, of feet planted onto soil that is splattered with the blood of innocents mixed with the black blood of evil. I feel the air around me grow colder, my breath pants in plumes of steam. The creatures began to shiver, I raise my voice enough to hold them locked in my thrall.

It doesn’t matter the species. If they have blood, they have liquid in their veins.

And all liquids freeze.

“What the hell is that?”

“It’s not a what. It’s a who.” Bucky clenched his fist as the temperature continued to drop. He was more than a little shocked at how fast it was plummeting around them. He could feel Steve’s eyes on him and when he met his gaze, Steve’s blond brows were almost at his hairline.

“Is…she?” Bucky nodded and Steve continued. “Is she on our side?”

Bucky’s gaze was back on the figure. “Yeah. She is. She’s fighting for us. Even though I told her to hide.”

“You know her?”

“She saved my life.” He glanced down at the pearl on his wrist, feeling it thump in tandem with his own pulse as her words echoed in his head.

“The world is not a safe place. I accept this. I am not running away scared. I can fight.”

My Tear begins to sing, its twin is near. Which means Bucky is far too close.

But I can’t stop now.

Tears begin to stream down my cheeks as I try to dam the coming tide within me. The tsunami of rage that will destroy all in its path.

Including him. I stagger, unbalanced on unsteady legs. Ice blooms like lace under my bare feet. To some it might be pretty.

People often forget that ice is also so very deadly.

I drop to my knees, tilt my head back and lose myself in the song.

“Cover your ears!” Bucky shouts as soon as she begins to fall. “Warn the others!”

As they clap their hands over their ears, the sound hits them. Both of them drop to the ground as soldiers are trained, face down in the grass as the Outriders around them began to shriek followed by a wet, crunching sound. Over and over, each of them wincing at the muffled sounds until a silence so abrupt follows that it’s almost a physical ache in their heads.

Bucky tilts his face to the side. All he can see are the contorted carcasses of dead outriders. As he sits up, he’s shocked to find that they’re all dead. They look as if something…someone had exploded them from the inside out. Each of their bodies is flayed open and the hollow cavities inside are white with frost. Both he and Steve are covered in gore and damp from the grass that is no longer frozen.

Both of them sit on their heels, knees in the muck as their twin blue eyed gazes towards the village where the bodies have formed a gruesome fence for the tiny white figure who is curled on her side in the fetal position, white hair fanned away from her.

It’s then he notices how silent, how still the pearl on his wrist is.

“Fuck. No!” Bucky lurched to his feet, boots sliding on the melting entrails as he dashes towards the village, Steve right on his heels.

As they vault and weave their way towards their hero, Sam’s voice comes across the coms.

“I don’t know what happened but half these guys exploded with ice and the other ones turned on each other…Stark just radioed in. They’ve got the stones. Guys?”

In the dark, I hear my mother’s voice.

“Do you want to know a secret? It’s not a song my sweet. It’s a scream, one that drives men to their deaths not because of it’s beauty, but because of the horror is causes. And you, my beautiful daughter, were doubly blessed with the touch of winter. You can command the flow, the sound even the shape of water as a siren. Little fish, you have the ability to wield it like a sword. Never forget you were made to be a warrior.”

I have never felt pain like this before. I feel as if my skin has been peeled from my bones.

My throat constricts as I try to cry out, the muscles spent from the rush of power. My lips are cracked and bleeding.

Sirens bleed red too.

I can hear the faint echo of a heartbeat and I wonder briefly if its mine.

I am so very tired.

Bucky drops to his knees at her side. She looks so tiny like this. In her siren tail she’s almost double him including her tail but now she’s small, almost fragile. She’s lost the color she’d gained while here, her pearlescent ivory now back. The only color on her body is the scarlet stain of blood across her lips.

Scooping her up he strides towards the shore cradling her against his chest as he makes his way to deeper waters. When she is submerged to her neck, her head lolling against his shoulder. Her pale hair swirls around them like a lacy net and the wet fabric of his shirt clings to her body.

“Is she alive?”

Bucky turned and saw Steve standing on the muddy beach. His best friend looked exhausted, was covered in muck and blood but still his earnest face held questions.

“I’m not sure.”

“What…was that?”

Bucky shifts her in his arms. He isn’t sure if she’s alive. But her gills had flared open when he’d brought her here and then sealed shut. It gave him hope.

“She saved me. I fell into the Bering Sea, figured I was dead. Accepted my fate. And then she swims up. Steve, I thought I was back in cryo. She carried me to the life raft. When I asked to see her again, she gave me..

“The pearl.” Steve finished. “But how did she get here? We’re a long way from Alaska.”

“She followed the pearl. When they put me in cryo here, she thought I was dead. So she swam.”

“From Alaska?”

Bucky nods, continuing as he watches her face for any sign of life. “Eight weeks ago she shows up here. She’s been here ever since.”

Realization dawned on Steve’s face. “She’s the mermaid. The villagers were being serious when they said there was a mermaid in the lake.”

“Siren.”

“What?”

“She’s a siren, not a mermaid.” Bucky is able to hold her in one arm as he pushes wet strands of hair away from her face and behind her delicately pointed ears. He hadn’t even known they were pointed.

“Whatever she is, she just gave us enough time to win. She’s got a lot of heart in that tiny body.”

Bucky swallowed a hard knot in his throat as he surveyed the wreckage that was the aftermath of a siren’s song.

When he looked back into her face, he found her eyes the ones that were the exact same color as his own looking back up at him.

Deadly (3)

Summary: The plan comes to conclusion. What has Brock to do with it? And when became being the good guy that hard?

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader, Bucky Barnes x Reader, Peter Parker x Reader (platonic/friendship), Sam Wilson, Maria Hill, Brock Rumlow

Warnings: angst, sassy/self-confident reader, language, violence, betrayal, lies, a crazy plan, mentions of sex/drug use, a hint of making out

Shielded Masterlist

Walking through the hallway, sway in your hips you nod at Maria who is talking to Brock and your fists want to clench. For months you are busy to find every mole in Shield.

Your investigations got stuck when the team found their new addition and you were busy with finding a mole among the Avengers too. Now knowing Lucie is no harm any longer you can concentrate on taking the mole within Shield down.

The person you hate the most, the person betraying you so badly is smiling at you, waving to order you into the room.

While Fury and you act as if you don’t know about the betrayal the mole believes that no one will ever find out who leaked information to missions and private moments between you and Steve.

A smile on your lips you fake you are interested in what the person you would love to stab with the hidden knife at your thigh has to say.

Brock glances at Maria, not understanding why you out of the blue insisted on going on the mission with her, not your partner.

“Y/N, did I do anything wrong? I thought we are a great team.” Brock is angry, you can see it but right now you can’t stop the plan from rolling so you need to feign ignorance.

“Listen, we are working great as a team, but Maria knows the building and even more important, our target loves pretty women, you are not suiting his taste. We can sneak in easily without getting caught or collateral damage.” Your partner is still pissed but he nods, knowing a mission always goes first.

“I’ll train with Peter some more in that case. If anything goes sideways, give me a call and I’ll be there, Y/N.”

A curt nod later you glance at the papers on the table, gasping as Brock grabs your arm to force you to look at him. “I mean it, Y/N. One word and I’ll be there. I’m not like Steve or the others letting you down…”

Brock walks out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him and you take a deep breath, calming your nerves to get the mission over with. You hate leaving Peter in the dark, but the young boy would try to help you and get himself killed.

“Do you think he has a hunch we are after him, Y/N? Did we play our roles not convincing enough?” Maria tries to read your face but it’s stoic. You’re a master in masking your feelings after all.

“I don’t think our treacherous mole knows anything about our investigations, Maria. When we strike…” Smirking you lean closer to make sure only Maria can hear you. “That bastard will go down, screaming my name.”

Following you with her eyes Maria nods, returning the smirk. “I’m ready if you are.”

“Then let’s smash the party and get that piece of shit down. I hate people hurting innocent young women to make money.”

After securing your handgun at your thigh, you grab your phone and check the black earplug. “Odd, my earplug is broken.” Cursing you excuse yourself to get a new one.

Walking out of the room you activate the tracking app so Bucky can follow you onto the mission to make sure the mole won’t mess it up too.

“Y/N!” Smirking as Peter calls your name you wave at him, hoping he won’t be too mad hearing you didn’t tell him about your plans.

Stopping for a moment you admire the way Peter talks to other people. Carefree, almost innocent even knowing there are evil people out there. Sometimes you miss this side of you. It’s been a while since you let your guard down and trusted a person unconditionally.

Lost in thoughts you pass Brock by who gives you a dark look, but you can’t let your guard down now. You will take care of Peter later, for now, you need to catch a bad guy and later a mole.

----

Maria is close behind you the whole time, having your cute back, as she likes to call it. You always liked working with her, even admired her for the work she did for Shield.

Years ago she was the one recruiting you for Shield, she was the one encouraging you to join the Avengers and now she’s the one welcoming you back with open arms after you are a ‘fallen’ Avenger.

“We’ve got this Mar… Only codenames from now one, Kate…” Parting ways with your partner you walk toward your target, an elder guy, surrounded by young women.

None of the girls looks like she wants to be touched by the smeary guy but the two bodyguards with guns next to them make sure they can’t run away.

On your way past that guy you take of your jacket, showing the guy your cleavage, a seducing smile on your red lips you feel his eyes on your ass when you sway your hips on purpose.

“Ready if you are, Kate…” Whispering the words you look at the figure hidden in the shadows, smirking as you know he’s going to make sure everything works according to plan. “I will bring him out and we strike.”

Maria gives you a short acknowledgment, checking the information on her phone once again. “Rose, you sure you can do this alone and don’t need me?”

“Stay on hold, Kate. Two hot women hitting on that guy would be too obvious. I will tell him I got a nice friend and that’s where you come in. Now we should agree to radio silence till I call you. Rose end…”

Ordering a drink, you lean over the counter, showing the target your back to let him admire your curves.

“You ready?” Your guardian angel whispers and you tip your finger twice against your glass. “I’m ready if you are. Everything looks good from here. That guy is drooling all over you.”

“Give me ten and then meet me outside to get him arrested. I think Hydra will show its ugly head soon. Artemis end…”

Smiling you nip at your drink as you feel a hand slide over your back. Normally you would break that guy's hand in three or four seconds but now you turn around, smiling lazily at your target you dip your head to look over his shoulder.

“What is a pretty girl like you doing in a shady club like this?” He asks, trying to sound seducing but you need to fight your instinct to slap his face.

“Maybe the company.” You coo instead, sliding your fingers over his chest. “Do you know someone wanting to spend his time with me?”

Maria is watching you talk to the target, body tense she checks on the bodyguards and the girls looking at their boss.

“Rose, one of the bodyguards doesn’t stop looking at you. Is it possible he recognized you?” She whispers and you press your hand to your ear as you barely understood what she said. “I repeat, Rose. I think one of the bodyguards recognized you. Rose abort. I repeat, abort.”

“Artemis, you should lead him out of the bar now. I can’t see the bodyguards face from here. Let’s play safe.” Your guardian angel whispers and you give your target a bright smile as he offers to spend the night with you.

“I’ve got a nice friend, we could meet her outside and have some…” Leaning closer your press your lips to his ear. “Fun, Baby. I’m single for a few weeks and I’d like to have a real man tonight…”

Almost choking on his drink, the guy grins. “Lead the way to paradise...”

“I heard everything. On my way outside to take him down.” Your guardian angel whispers as Maria shakes her head, still trying to reach you but the connection broke minutes ago.

“Just follow me, pretty boy…” Grabbing your target's hand you walk toward the back entrance, smirking at the shadow following you and the man outside. “Rose is going to make your see heaven tonight.” Maria stiffens, ready to break up the mission she leaves the bar to join you at the back entrance.

She could hear your abord codeword, so she runs toward the alley behind the bar to find your target handcuffed to the dumpster.

“Finally, Maria. I didn’t hear what you said.” Pointing at the unconscious man you smirk. “I only heard something about a bodyguard and the connection broke. I thought I use the abort codeword and lead you here to make sure we still can take him down.”

“Smart, as always.” Maria pants, giving you a wink as your guardian angel hides in the shadows.

“Yeah…smart…” You smirk, glancing at your current partner. “What did you want to tell me in the bar?”

“One of the bodyguards seemed to recognize you. He talked to the other guy and pointed at you. I was afraid he could blow your cover, Y/N. Good thing I was wrong.” Maria smiles, wanting to give you a high five but your smile fades before your fist collides with her face.

“Doll, you could’ve just arrested her.” Stepping out of the shadows your guardian angel smirks before he captures your lips in a soft kiss. “Missed you…”

“Let’s get this done…”

----

Tugging at the handcuffs holding her Maria looks around the interrogation room, not knowing what just happened.

“You will ask yourself why you are handcuffed in a Shield interrogation room.” Placing all collected information in front of Maria you show her your best poker face. “You know, we almost fell for your trap that Brock is the mole, Maria. Great job.”

Her face doesn’t give anything away, but the micro expression only you notice does. She’s scared and you know it.

“I got no clue what you are talking about Agent Y/L/N. I did my job as always only to end up here.” Tugging at the handcuffs again Maria tries to act tough but her heart races.

“We can play this game for hours, or days but I got another place to be. I will tell you what we found out so far.” Smirking you open the first folder to show Maria pictures with her and Lucie before she joined the Avengers.

“That’s a coincidence…”

“Really? I thought you are smarter, Maria. You made sure Lucie joins the Avengers, you made sure she will do anything to let me get kicked out of the Avengers with her lies and tries to get into my man’s bed…” Leaning closer you lick your lips. “Nice try…”

“Try?” Gasping Maria watches Sam enter the room a grin all over his face.

“Try…I mean from the moment Lucie entered the tower I knew something was off with her. I had a reliable partner telling me everything about her activities involving the team and Steve.” Giving Maria a wink you place more photos onto the table.

“Does she know you’re with Hydra?” Sam cocks a brow, pointing at a picture of Lucie meeting up with Maria after you left the Avengers. “Was that the plan? Getting Y/N and her abilities back to make sure she will work for Hydra?”

“That’s insane, Y/N! I would never do such a thing! I love Shield and we are friends for years…” Panting heavily Maria tries to act innocently but you don’t buy her act.

“Stop right now, Maria. We found everything. The cameras in my bedroom, the messages between you and Lucie and other people. We know you gave away more than one mission but still, I thought someone tried to trick you, just like you tried to make us believe Brock is the bad guy.”

Sam points at the fake information Maria leaked to make Fury believe one of his best men is a traitor.

“Maybe it’s Brock and he tried to trick me, Y/N. Please, you have to believe me.” Maria’s eyes dart between you and Sam but there’s no compassion on your features so she tries to lie her way out.

“We double checked everything and thought you might be innocent, but you made one mistake tonight, Maria.” Smirking you lean closer placing a picture of tonight’s target in front of Maria.

“Our target…” She gasps as you point at the man. “No, Maria. Our target tonight wasn’t Bucky in a perfect masquerade…” You smirk as Maria’s face falls.

“But…no…no. The bodyguard recognized you. I did what Fury taught us…” Maria stammers, feeling the temperature in the room rise.

“The bodyguard didn’t even move a muscle or blink. You know…” Placing a picture of the bodyguard onto the table your eyes darken. “May I introduce you to Agents Miller and Clark? They are with Shield for years and had clear orders.”

“Orders…” Maria stammers now, not knowing how to get out of the situation she pants heavily.

“Orders, Maria. I told them to not move a muscle, to not look at me at all costs. They should focus on the girls next to them, nothing else and according to the footage they did exactly what I told them. You had the perfect position to watch them and even tho, you told me to abort the mission.”

Now you slam your fist onto the table, causing Maria to flinch. “This was the moment I knew it was you the whole time, my friend.”

“I played all of you well. You left the Avengers, thanks to Lucie. Steve Rogers fucked that recruit and now he will never want you back as you fucked his best friend…”

Snickering Maria finally lets her mask fall and your grin widens as the door opens and your guardian angel steps in.

“Captain Rogers, would you explain the situation to Ms. Hill or shall I?” Getting up from the chair you slide your hand over Steve’s chest to fist his shirt. “Steve?”

“I can explain everything if you want me to do so…” His lips press against yours and you can hear Maria choke on air.

“Why? What…?”

“What you don’t know Maria is Steve drugged Lucie and made her believe they had sex. He was the one making the Avengers believe what Lucie said as I told him to do so…”

Pecking Steve’s cheek you turn around to smirk at Maria. “Not you played us well…I played you well.”

“But you fucked Barnes…that is unforgivable…” Your eyes darken as you round the table to press your lips to her ear.

“You know, Bucky, Steve and I always had a very special friendship. From time to time Bucky joins us in bed. Did you enjoy the show? Steve did for sure. He couldn’t stop taking me hard in the backseat a few hours later. Got him going for sure…”

Chuckling you hear Sam inhale sharply as he didn’t have to know about his friend's sex life.

“That’s…you couldn’t know about the camera! I made sure you wouldn’t find it!” Maria screams fighting against the handcuffs but it’s useless.

“Babe, I knew the moment I entered the room about the camera, and I knew not only Steve would watch us get off and fake a breakdown in front of Tony later. I knew you would watch us too…dirty girl.” Rounding the table, slapping Steve’s ass on your way you laugh as he purrs low in his throat.

“I’m checking on the others, you two got this I guess...” Flustered Sam leaves the room, not believing you and Steve like to have threesomes with his commanding officer’s best friend.

Sitting on your chair, feet propped onto the table you cross your arms over your chest.

“What will it be, Maria? Will you tell us anything you know, or do you want to spend some time with the other Avengers knowing you were behind the plan to get rid of me?”

“It was Hydra, they wanted you. They only told me you are special. That you could be the deadliest weapon in their hands. Lucie was my pawn, she’s with Ross, not Hydra. That stupid little girl was so excited to bang Captain America…” Maria spats and Steve smirks as he rounds the table to place his hands to the back of your chair.

“Good, Maria. Now tell me about the spy within the Avengers. How did you manage to get him on your side and what is his next goal…?”

How the MCU can do the Fantastic Four and the X-Men

The Fantastic Four

This is my idea for how Marvel can do a Fantastic Four movie series if they ever get the rights back from FOX. And yes I know a lot of people are in love with the whole “set in the 60s” idea but I’m not.

Reed Richards- A young entrepreneur who made a fortune on multiple patents allowing him to indulge in many scientific curiosities. He holds degrees in multiple fields of science. The press has dubbed him Mr. Fantastic. (think Elon Musk meets Bill Gates meets Steve Jobs) After the accident he gains the ability to stretch his body to incredible lengths Susan Richards- An expert computer programmer and hacker she’s able to sneak into any network. Her programming software is used in all of the FF’s hardware. The accident gave her the power to create invisible force fields as well as cloak herself and others from sight. She calls herself the Invisible Woman as a result. Johnny Storm- A stuntman and experienced pyrotechnics expert he lives to chase the thrill. When his sister invited him on the trip he leaped at the chance. The accident gave him the ability to create intense heat and cover himself in flames. He declared that he was the Human Torch from now on. Ben Grimm- A test pilot who went to college with Reed and has kept in touch ever since. He volunteered to pilot the test flight but suggested that Reed either address the shielding or postpone until the storm passed. The accident mutated him into a rock covered Thing giving him increased stamina and strength. Before battle he recites the motto of the Yancy Street Gang “It’s Clobbering Time!”

Marvel’s Fantastic Four

Reed Richards creates a spaceship in the hopes of making spaceflight available to the public however during the test flight a cosmic storm strikes the earth. The cosmic radiation mutates Reed, his wife Susan, her brother Johnny, and the pilot Ben giving them strange powers. However they were not the only ones effected. Bolts of cosmic power strike all across the world (setting up future heroes and villains). One such bolt strikes a mountain sending cosmic radiation throughout it. A man named Harvey Elder was mining in the mountain when the bolt hit causing a cave in. However the energy mutated him and the life within the soil around him. He became the Mole Man and commanded an army of mutated worms, insects, and moles to do his evil bidding. Fighting him was the first test of the Fantastic Four!

Marvel’s Fantastic Four: The U-Foes

About a year after the cosmic storm hit Earth, Simon Ultrecht head of U-Forces a rival of Reed’s is contacted by a mysterious benefactor who managed to obtain a sample of the cosmic energy. Driven by greed Simon exposed himself and three others creating the U-Foes. The Fantastic Four must prevent these superpowered threats from wrecking havoc.

Marvel’s Fantastic Four: Doom

Little did the Fantastic Four know that the mysterious benefactor was watching them, studying them, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses until he had the knowledge he needed to strike. Victor Von Doom has returned to get his long awaited revenge against Reed Richards!

Marvel’s Fantastic Four: Galactus

Months after the battle against Doom a strange object enters Earth’s atmosphere, a silver man on a silver board. The Silver Surfer declares that Galactus is coming and that none can stop him from consuming the world. It’s up to the Fantastic Four to find a way to stop the Devourer of Worlds from destroying the Earth.

The X-Men

The basic premise is that in the MCU mutants only began to emerge in the last 20 years or so, two groups have formed to protect mutants though their methods vary greatly. The X-men protect humanity and mutantkind alike from themselves and each other while the Brotherhood of Mutants attacks humanity for their crimes against mutants. Each group has valid points but their conflicting goals leads to conflict.

The Uncanny X-Men

An international conference on Mutants is held that the Brotherhood seeks to disrupt while the X-men seek to protect it. As a result mutants are revealed to the world at large

X-men vs Brotherhood of Mutants

Charles Xavier- Professor X - Psychic founder of the X-men, dreams of a world where humanity and mutantkind exist as one. Due to an accident he lost the use of his legs

Max Eisenhardt- Magneto - Master of magnetism, survivor of the holocaust he vows mutantkind will not suffer the same fate.

Former friends and allies, the falling out between the two lead to the formation of the separate groups

Scott Summers- Cyclops - Due to a childhood injury he is unable to turn his eye beams off, only a special visor can block their power.

Gunther Bain- Unus the Untouchable - A former wrestler he discovered his ability to create force fields during a match costing him his career. His shields are one of the few things that can block Cyclops’s beams

Hank McCoy- Beast - Born with enhanced physical strength Hank is a genius as well, however he has begun to mutate further growing blue fur and claws.

Mortimer Toynbee- Toad - A street urchin most of his life, he has enhanced agility and a prehensile tongue as well as the ability to cling to walls.

Warren Worthington III- Angel - A wealthy playboy he hid his wings for most of his life, but with the X-men he can soar free.

Irene Adler- Destiny- Though she is blind she has the ability to see the future, including any possible moves her enemies make.

Bobby Drake- Iceman - A young prankster who can create and manipulate ice and frost.

St. John Allerdyce- Pyro - A man who wants to see the world burn with the power to manipulate flame and fire

Jean Grey- Marvel Girl - Able to read minds and move objects with telekinesis Jean is the newest member of the X-men but there may be more to her powers than she realizes.

Jason Wyngarde-Mastermind - A man able to reach into the minds of others and create realistic illusions of whatever he finds within their memories.

X-Men 2: Night of the Sentinels

After Mutants were revealed to the world the Sentinel project was begun in secret to combat the more violent mutants. However the project was hijacked by a bigoted politician to use against all mutants, the X-men and the Brotherhood must join forces to protect them all. A post credit scene reveals that the school has begun to admit new students.

X-men 3: Mutant Island

Professor X detects a powerful mutant on a remote island, however once the team arrives they discover the island itself is the mutant. Only Cyclops manages to return home and warns the Professor. Using his powers Professor X summons aid from around the world.

TOA Dragonriders AU!

The sands glimmered in the damp heat. The lava tubes that kept the city warm even in the most biting of winters came especially close ot the surface here, keeping the nesting grounds almost too hot for human comfort.

Jim could already feel sweat beginning to form under his long ceremonial robes. Today was hatching day. The day the young dragons would break free of their shells and bond permanently with one of the candidates who ringed the nesting site. There were far more candidates than hatchlings so inevitably some were left unchosen. The elders stressed again and again that there was no shame in not being chosen, but it never felt that way to those left standing on the sands when the last egg was empty.

Jim scanned the crowd with increasing desperation. He was hoping to catch sight, past the shimmering waves of a heat, a glimps of red hair that belonged to his mother. As chief healer for the Keep of Arcadia she was often kept busy, but Jim had hoped that she would be able to make it to the ceremony. Still probably best she wasn’t here to see her son left standing alone at the end of it.

He started to scan the crowd again when a voice to his left stopped him.

“I haven’t seen her,” Toby said.

Tobias Domzalski was Jim’s oldest and dearest friend. His grandmother had dismounted her own bronze dragon at the entrance to the nesting ground and had settled in the stands. It mean a lot to know jim’s friend was keeping an eye out for his mother as well, though it still hurt that she wasn’t here yet.

“Don’t worry, my parents are to busy too.” The came softly from Jim’s right.

Claire Nuñez, daughter of Councilwoman Nuñez glared at the sand in front of her. Jim glanced towards the seats of honor, where Vendel and the council members were gathered. Lady Nuñez did indeed seem busy as she talked with the other council members. Likely wheeling for some political leverage once they return to the council floor.

Before any of them could say another word, Heartstone, the dragon Matriarch unleashed a keening rumble that shook the chamber, then turned her attention to her brood of eggs. Heartstone was a beyond massive dragon, with warm orange and red tones in her scales. She hadn’t left the nest chamber since these eggs had been laid. Any fool who dared to attempt some harm to her unhatched young would face the unbridled wrath of the Queen Dragon.

The humans in the chamber fell silent as the rumble continued, echoed and carried on by the other dragons. Dragons of every color and size; crammed into the stands, squeezed in the entrance way or standing outside; picked up the rumble until the very air seemed to shake.

Jim focused on the eggs before him. They were beginning to shake, some had hairline cracks appearing on their surface. There was a breathless anticipation hanging over the candidates. The hatching was beginning.

An egg near th emiddle of the clutch suddenly burst apart, sending flaming fragments of shell in every direction. The Fragments froze in the air, then were pulled back towards the dragon that slowly uncurled its body. This dragon had a coloration similar to its mother, heavy in the warm oranges and reds. The floating pieces of shell settled into slow orbits around the hatchling. Then they dropped when it discovered its own tail and started chasing it. Several chuckles echoed from the crowd at the adorable sight.

“Energetic. And gravity powers?” Eli Pepperjack muttered a few candidates down the line. “That will be a handful!”

The dragon stopped its chase after a moment. Jim held his breath as it made a bee line directly for him. However rather than sitting at his feet and connecting their two minds the hatchling wove its way in between his legs like a cat. After a few passes of rubbing itself against him it happily walked over to Claire to repeat that same action. Clare could only stare at it in confusion before it left her and plopped itself down in front of Toby.

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Hello!” Toby practically crowed in joy as he fell to his knees and wrapped his arms around his dragon’s neck. Nearby attendants stepped forward with bowls of food for the hungry hatchling. Jim could see Toby’s Nana crying quietly in the stands.

Jim and Claire began to fidget restlessly as more and more eggs cracked open revealing their former occupants. Some of the hatchlings were just as spectacular, while some were less so. However no other hatchlings behaved the way Toby’s had. Each directly to its chosen and sat before them.

His concern continued to grow as more and more of the eggs cracked and burst and more of the hatchlings chose their bond mate. He tried to ignore Eli’s running commentary on each of the dragons as they emerged. Instead he focused on scanning the crowd, again hoping to spot his mother.

A strange noise from the nesting ground brought his attention back to the eggs. One on the far side of the grounds suddenly crumbled in on itself. Noises of concern could be heard from the stands as the egg collapsed from the size of a potato sack to that of a baseball.

The noise echoed again and a hatchling appeared out of mid air with a small storm of purple lightning. It ran forward than in another crackling jump disappeared. Jim almost pitched forward as a powerful head but hit the back of his legs. Before he could turn there was another crack the dragon teleported to Toby’s side. It rubbed itself all over is sibling then headbutted Toby. Finally the dragon teleported in front of Claire where it immediately sat down.

Claire collapsed at once, throwing her arms around the dragon, tears of joy rolling down her cheeks. As she sobbed against the dragon Jim could hear her speaking in her mother tongue.

“Estoy tan feliz de conocerte, luz de mi vida.” She said. “¿No eres la cosa más bella del mundo?”

Jim would have been mystified by the strange behaviour of Toby and Claire’s dragons if he wasn’t so distraught. Two dragons had approached him without choosing him. Was he not worthy of being bonded to a dragon? Had he messed something up some how?

“James Lake.”

A flash of crimson from the stands caught his attention. His mom slipped into the crowd. Jim couldn’t stop tears of frustration from rolling down his face. She had actually come, only to see him fail.

“James Lake.”

The voice in his head dragged his attention forward. A hatchling walked proudly toward him. Its scales were a mix of black and silver edged in red and blue. It had the most stunning eyes Jim had ever seen.

It reared back onto its hind legs, flaring tiny wings. A blue aura radiated out from it as tiny blue sparks fell from its open mouth. The aura jumped to Toby and his Dragon and Claire and hers. Jim felt all three minds, no, all six minds join together at once.

“We are one.” The dragon’s voice filled his head. Then it sat in front of him.

Jim fell to his knees, holding the dragon. His dragon.

“My human.”

So I was suddenly inspired to write some stuff with dragons. I might write more about this AU. Some other ideas I have are Blinky and Aaarrrgghh (human dragon riders) recognize the strange bond that the Trio’s dragons have (because their dragons had a similar bond) and offer to train the three in dragon riding. At some point Gunmar will kill the Dragon Queen, Heartstone. Gunmar and the Gumm-Gumms are evil dragon riders who steal eggs from the queens and enslave their dragons, forcing them to bond. Eli and Steve are there and are skipped over for dragons, but they both get chosen in the next brood. Aja and Krel show up eventually on dragons with fairy wings. Their bodies are also different from the rest of the humans.

Send me any questions you have about this AU!
