I hate you

Summary: In a world where your enemies name appears on one wrist and your soulmates appears on the other but what happens when it's the same name on both

Pairing: loki x reader

Warnings: fluff but some major angst at end, swearing,

Notes: Finally not bucky pfft anyways i got this idea from a post I saw on instagram hope ya like it :) oh and this takes place during ragnarok and infinity war also yes i know the lines aren't the exact same but i tried to keep it similar.

You hated loki no hate wasn't strong enough you despised the god. With his tricks and mischief. with his knifes and need to simply be an absolute dickbag. all of this is what made the position you were put in even more confusing and messy.

You stared down at your wrist looking at the names well name. singular. The names were supposed to be one of your enemy and one of your soulmate which of course frustrated people to the end of which name suppose to take what role. Yours might seem simpler but it made it more complicated.

there was one name. loki. It sat on both your wrist being there since the day you were born. at first it confused you and your parents why the name was the same. Then the confusion grew when a few days later a prince was born named loki odinson.

So your enemy was loki but was also your soulmate. The more you were around loki the more you understood the enemy part of it. He'd pull mean pranks and constantly pester you. you assumed the names on his wrist were in the same case as yours making his constant bother make sense.

Of course now wasn't the time to rehash all of that. you currently were going through something that felt similar to an acid trip. They spoke something of the grandmaster and how this planet was created or whatever. you simply felt sick and like someone stuck your brain in a blender.

you open your eyes not even realizing you had closed them at some point. looking around you are sat next to thor and in front of you is a strange man with eyeliner who looks like a dude going through a midlife crisis.

behind you are rainbow guards. confused you turn to lowkey who looks just as confused as you. “well aren't these two just marvelous. he and a she right?” he ask looking up at a girl. she nods “yes he and she” she smiles at you two. “see this is why your amazing. what do i always say when she shows up it starts with b” he says looking to another girl. “trash” she says glaring at the other girl. “wha- no were you just looking to call her trash that doesn't even start with b” he said confused and shaken. “booze hag”

you cant help but snicker at this. “I- what no i'm sorry i always say your the best god. she brought me my champion y'know” he says with a smile. “so you say every time shes here.” she replied jealousy thick. “how much for them” grandmaster ask. this shakes you up and throws even thor off guard. “hi yes excuse me were not for y'know sale” you say like its an outlandish thing. “10,000″ the girl says. “I am not for sale” thor says ripping his arms out of the chair. “ooo a fighter I like it” he says then the girl presses a button and thor is shaking like he was tased.

“Y'know actually i think i'm ok being sold off can I just nooot have that happen to me?” you ask with a wide grin. “I like her shes funny” get her out of the chair” the grandmaster says. “give her the credits hurry” with a grumble the girl gets paid. “you will pay for this.” thor says to the scavenger. “no I got paid for this.” she says smugly walking off. your chains are released and you stand up rubbing your wrist. “do you got any lotion or anything cause that shit made my wrist all dry” you say nodding towards the chair.

“Get the girl some lotion go go” he says to the other. “come follow me” he says after you get handed some lotion. you walk into a room full of people thor following behind on his chair. The room seems like a party people are chatting music is blasting. “I am the god of thunder!” thor says. tiny thunder comes out his fingers making you chuckle. His hammer being broken but be affecting him more than expected. “well there's no thunder but you did create little sparkles there.” he says walking to a dj panel.

“hey y/n get me out of here” thor whispers to you. “Man i don't even know how i got out ok guess you gotta just be awesome like me” you look around and spot someone who for once actually made you smile “or like loki apparently.” you point out to thor. “loki!” he yells. you hit thor's arm “shut up” you say. loki looks at you two confused.

“loki!!” thor says happily. you simply facepalm you didn't want to talk to loki nor did you want grandmaster from finding out you know him especially if he's caused as much chaos here as he has on asgard. loki looks concerned and does a fake smile and goodbye before walking towards yall “shhh sh” he says. “what are you doing here” he ask “Me and y/n were put in a chair she was released wheres your chair?” thor ask. “i didn't get a chair” loki whispers back. “well get me out of this one” thor ask “i cant.” “get me out” “I cant” they debacle before you interrupt “how did you get here?” you ask. “I was here a few weeks ago I gained his trust i know hes strange but im in the good with him” loki says.

“what are we whispering about” Grandmaster sneaks up on yall. “jesus fuck what are you a mouse?!” you ask feeling your heart pounding like drums. “you know this lord of thunder?” grandmaster ask loki. “god of thunder heh tell him” thor says nodding. “i've never met this man in my life” loki says with a nervous smile. “their brothers” you chime in “adopted” loki clarifies. you smile at the grandmaster. “well if you want to get back to assguard or-” grandmaster starts “asgard” thor clarifies. “Only those who defeat me beloved champion can leave.” grandmaster said with a smile. “just send him that way he’ll stab whomever whatever to get back home” you say. thor nods with a smirk.

and off he goes. not long after loki nods towards where thor was sent and you nod back. As much as you hate loki it was nice having 2 familiar faces here. You walked after loki and snuck into the room. loki was making hand gestures as thor threw a rock through him. “course” you say with a shake of your head. loki and thor look towards you. “why did i actually think for once you'd be nice and actually be here” you say rolling your eyes. “Never put faith in my brother to be nice” thor says throwing another rock through loki. loki rolls his eyes “You don't want my help then i'll just go.” loki says turning around then turning back. “I haven't seen this champion but i know he is unstoppable and terrifying. I have placed a large wager against you won't let me down.” loki says walking off.

“He's right ya know, loki, this champion is a champion for a reason and you don't have your hammer anymore you cant even do your cool lighting trick you barely got it out your fingers...just don't get killed out there please. Loki won't admit it but he cares about your dumbass and so do i so do us both a favor and don't get killed” you say walking out the room. loki was right at the other side and rolled is eyes. “that was cheesy” he says. “shut up i just don't want you to be more annoying than usual if he fucking dies.” you reply with a grumble.

Soon enough the battle comes and you sit next to loki. your nerves become evident the more time passes. loki puts a hand on your bouncing leg. slowly it calms down. his hand stays there as thor walks out. you gulp deeply. they announce the champion and out walks.....hulk? “I have to get off this plant” loki says starting to walk off. you giggle. loki's experiences with hulk were far from fun.

“where are you going?” grandmaster ask walking loki back to his seat. “Hey! I know him! hes a friend from work!” thor says yelling. you bite back a smile. “ahem yea we kind of all work together” you say with a smile to grandmaster. his smile falters. loki looks nervous. as much as you wanted to laugh at his pain hulk throwing you around can be quite traumatic. “hey you're up here...hes down there” you say “hes not coming after you ok hes controlled its ok.” you say to loki. he nods.

The fight goes on and right when you see an end that scared you thor got his powers and blasted hulk. “oh shit” you mumble. “of course” loki mumbles. thor lost the fight that's the summary of it. You and loki ended up wondering the place. “shouldn't we try to find thor?” you ask. “if you want thor i can take you to him but i figured id take you somewhere” loki said. “uh yea sure” you said with a shrug.

You a loki end up at the top of a mountain the view looks beautiful. the sky was many shades of blue from dark to light. “this is...this is beautiful” you say. “yes it is” he replied looking at you. you turn to him seeing him look at you. you smile...maybe loki wasn't so bad after all.

Then an alarm goes off “My precious champion is missing that seductive lord of thunder as stolen him” a hologram of grandmaster says. “shit....thor” you say. “follow” loki says. he grabs your hand and you two end up in the grandmasters office him and the scavenger who brought you and thor is there debate who can bring thor and hulk in faster. “Well i come as a pair” loki said holding your hand up. “uhhhhhh suppose so?” you say with a shrug. “i woke up wanting an execution but ill settle for this little ‘who gonna get him first’” grandmaster says.

you three walk out. “now why would you help my brother escape” loki ask “I help no one but myself” she replies. loki and her end up fighting as you just sit back and watch what can be said watching loki get his ass handed to him was fun. when she knocks him out she looks to you. “do i have to knock you out too? or i can just use this.” she says holding the remote. “uh see i'm not really with him but ya see he makes a great partner in crime but ill just follow willingly.” you say putting your hands up. “good choice” she says.

“Should probably get your name if your going to take us hostage” you say. “valkyrie” she says. you two walk in silence into a room as she ties him up. “i’ll be back keep him there” she says walking out. you sit next to loki and sigh. “your my soulmate...you? i don't know if i have the worst luck.....no i have the best luck.” you say with a smile. one of his sleeves is slightly up and you can see your name on his wrist. “how did we get stuck like this...together.” you ask. loki looks so peaceful asleep. this trip has made you see a vulnerable and kinder loki.

you kiss his cheek before seeing him squirm. his eye open and he looks around. “course she made you babysit” he grumbles. aaaaand he ruined it. you roll your eyes. “shut up and make this easy on both of us and just stay.” you say. “what am I a dog?” he says with a huff. “well you were a snake one time” you say laughing at the memory. he laughs “fair enough” he replies. He starts to say something else when the doors open. thor and bruce walk in. “y/n!” he says excitedly. “Bruce” you say happily hugging him. You two had been close before he disappeared to well here. loki grumbles and bruce turn to him. “last time i saw you, you were ready to kill us where are we at now?” bruce ask. “it varies moment to moment” loki replies.

bruce looks at you concerned. “he's on our side for now.” you say sitting next to loki. “look we need to get out of here.” he points to a portal outside “through there” he says. “through the devil's anus?!” valkyrie ask. you burst out laughing. “I wasn't aware it was called that when i picked it” thor says slightly embarrassed. “well we need a ship mine wont make it through that” valkyrie says.

They then nerd out about ships as loki struggles in his chains. “Don't even try there stuck there” you whisper to him. he sighs and gives up. “I just so happen to know the codes to grandmasters ship keep” loki says. “and your just ready to help?” valkyrie ask “i have run out of favors with grandmaster sO” he says and sighs. you side eye loki suspicious. he smiles you and you look to the others.

“what the worst he betrays us? Would just be another day with the odinson boys.” you say standing up. So that was that. You,thor, and loki would go get the ship. you two were at a door when thor started “I suppose we should talk.” he said. “i disagree,open communication was never our family's forte” loki said. “you have no idea quite the revelation sense we last spoke” thor says

“hello” thor says to the people...things that see you 3 come in. “hi” loki says making you smile “sup” you say before you 3 blast them. “Odin brought us together” loki says as you 3 hide from the shot fired back. “Its almost poetic that his death should split us apart.” loki continues. you sigh “loki why are you so prominent on keeping this angsty wall of yours up” you grumble earning you a side eye. you three then finish them off walking to another key pad. “We might as well be strangers now” loki says ignoring your statement.

“Two sons of the crown, set adrift” loki says. you'd love to say something or really just slap loki so he stops pushing his brother away further and further with every words but you let him continue. The door opens and a man points a gun at loki making him backup and you giggle as thor blast him to the ceiling. “thought you didn't want to talk about it” thor says walking into the elevator. loki puts a finger up “here's the thing” he says stepping over the body. you roll your eyes and follow.

“im probably better off staying here on sakaar.” loki says. that's not what he wants. you stare at thor which he clearly doesn't get cause he then says “That's exactly what I was thinking”

loki makes a stunned face and looks shocked and confused. “Did you just agree with me?” he says shocked. you hit loki's shoulder “what its surprising” you roll your eyes. “come on this place is perfect for you. its savage,chaotic,lawless. Brother you're gonna do great here.” thor says matter of factly. you title your head up and sigh. “morons” you grumble earning two confused looks.

“Do you truly think so little of me?” lokie ask. you shake your head. they really are stupid aren't they. “Loki, i thought the world of you.” thor says. finally now loki dont fuck this up. loki's face soften ups and you smile at it. “I thought we were gonna fight side by side forever” thor continues. come oooon. “but” fucking hell thor. “at the end of they day your you and i'm me” thor says with a shrug. loki looks hurt now. “i don't know maybe there's still good in you. but lets be honest our paths diverged a long time ago” he finishes. fucking hell thor you just had to go and fuck it up. loki contemplates what was just said looking between the floor and thor.

he sighs and nods. his face is full of hurt. you grab his hand softly and give him a small smile which he reciprocates. you may hate loki which lets be honest even that was falling apart but you still wanted him happy. you hated how hurt he looked. like a kicked puppy. “yea...it's probably for the best that we never see each other again.” loki says voice full of pain and almost desperate for thor to deny the allegations. “that's what you always wanted” thor says patting loki. “yall are the most idiotic gods there could be” you say taking thor off guard. loki simply laughs. thor shakes his head and turns back to the front.

“hey lets do get help” thor says happily. this wipes the hurt from loki and replaces it with confusion. “what?” he ask “get help.” he says again. “no.” loki says shaking his head. “come on, you love it” thor says excitedly. “I hate it” loki says shaking his head again. “Its great it works everytime” thor says “its humiliating loki says swinging his hands bringing attention to you two holding hands. This earns a smirk from thor before he says “You have a better plan?” he ask.

“no” loki says. “were doing it” thor says with a smile. “we are not doing get help” loki says matter of factly. next thing you knew loki was limp over the shoulder and thor was yelling get help before throwing loki at the guards. you laughed falling onto your ass. “see this is why i didn't want to do it” loki says nodding to you. “im im ok im good” you say trying to stop laughing. you get up but not far before loki does as loki does and betrays yall. he twitches on the floor and thor walks off. “i'm gonna stay here with him” you say. thor looks suspiciously at you before carrying on.

“if you just hadn't been so stupid and said how you felt and what you wanted from thor we wouldn't be here and now im stuck taking care of your dumbass once again. God i don't even know why i stay anymore when all you do is exactly what would hurt me what you trying to fulfill the enemy part of our deal?” you ask lifting up your sleeves showing the two loki names. “I mean really loki why do you keep doing this please just explain it to me. I started to see a side of you the side that I actually cared for and saw us being real soulmates but then you pulled this crap again and now i don't even know what to feel.” you say before the doors bust in. a rocky man and a group of others walk in. picking up the remote and stopping loki's twitching. Loki looks at you with soft eyes before turning back to the men smuggly. “you look like your in desperate need of a leader” he says. you huff and he looks at you and smiles.

“why thank you” the group says. With that y'all are off on a ship. “sooo where are we running to now” you ask loki. “no more running were going to asgard and were going to kill my sister.” he says with a nod. you smile. you grab lokis shoulders throwing him off. “whatd i do?” he ask. for the first time ever he seems like he'd do anything for you. “nothing” you say with a smile. you kiss his cheek. he looks around confused before clearing his throat. “ok good um ok” he says turning to the panel. you giggle before walking to chat with the others. finally you arrived at asgard which is on fire and surrounded by death. “read?” he ask. you grab his hand. “always” you say turning to him. he smiles and nods. the ship door opens and you all run out and attack.

when the fight seems like a dead end thor blast the whole kingdom with lighting and launches himself out to the bridge. loki smirks slightly which you see and smile yourself. “your late” thor says “your missing an eye” loki says. “ok enough let clear these out and-” you start before hela emerges. what the actual fuck. “hit her with lighting” loki says. “I just hit her with the biggest lighting bolt and she acted like it was nothing” thor yells. “wait....what if this isn't about stopping ragnarok. what if it was about causing it”

thor looks at loki who looks surprised. “this is insane even for me” he says walking off. “Loki!” you yell. he turns around. you grab him and kiss him. its soft and its like the world stopped just for a moment before you have to pull away. “don't get killed” you say. he nods and smiles “anything for you darling” he says with a wink before running off. thor clears his throat. “let's fight” you say. with that you and valkyrie fight with the others as thor hold hela off. you worry for loki how he’ll get out.

Then ragnarok emerges and fire is everywhere. hels is distracted and you and the others run into the ship. flying away Taika says something about the foundation. then it explodes. a few minutes later loki is next to you. “hello darling” he says. you smile and grab onto loki pulling him into a hug. “loki thank god” you say pulling away. you kiss him deeply. “don't ever do that shit again” you say.

You all spend 3 months flying around before coming across a teeny tiny issues heh. you sat in a pool of blood of your friends. people you grew to care about. you tried to scream but were muffled by the guard on your mouth. After the 1st scream they put the guard on to stop the noise. thor was tied down. Heimdall was dead and hulk had been blasted away. You tried to scream again but it stopped as soon as it exited.

Thanos had just decided earth was where needed to be next. “if i might interject, if you are going to earth you might want a guid” loki says appearing. he walks towards thanos. “I do have a bit of experience in that arena” loke says walking up to thanos “if you consider failure experience” thanos said. “I consider experience experience” he said firmly. “All mighty thanos, I loki, prince of asgard, odinson, the rightful king of jotunheim,god of mischief.” he starts spewing off his titles. you see him make a knife appear and you try to scream once again. “Do hereby pledge to you my undying fidelity.” he says starting to power before trying to stab thanos. thanos stops it. “undying” thanos says. “you should choose your words more carefully.” thanos says as he forces loki to drop the knife.

Thanos grabs loki by the neck chocking him. you scream but no sound escapes. tears flood your eyes. “you will never be a god” loki says with his last breath before thanos snaps his neck. thor tries to scream too bt fails.thanos walks over and drops loki's body. “no resurrections this time” he says before lighting everything on fire and leaving. with that your guards are released. you run to lokis body.

you sob and scream. “y/n” thor tries. “shut the fuck up thor” you yell at him through gritted death. you hold loki. your enemy, your nemesis but more importantly your soulmate. rolling up his sleeves you see the one with your name. grabbing the other you see a different name. Luca. you knew him he was annoying as hell. of course now he was another corpse among the rest. you weren't his enemy. He was only yours. Everything he did everything that annoyed you was him trying to be close but in loki's own way. Loki Laufeyson. your enemy and your one true love.

I hope this doesn’t come out the wrong way but I think I have a withdrawal for your Loki stuff,,,, I know you’re into other fandom right now and gosh I feel bad for even sending this bc my intention is not to make you feel bad or to rush you, I just want to ask, could I pretty please get a little snippet for whatever Loki fic you have in process? No ass kissing but I haven’t seen anyone write him better than you do and I miss you and your Loki fic. Again I hope this doesn’t sound like I rush you

It’s okay, anon! I mean, I feel guilty but that’s not your fault, that is my fault for the ways in which I feel obligated toward people in fandom and I’m. Trying to not do that and just focus on what Brings Me Joy and whatnot. But I’m truly flattered by the sentiment and also sorry that you’re missing it.

But I’ve got plenty of Loki fic floating around here that I can share with you, so here, have a long snippet that’ll hopefully give you a little bit of ease in this time of me being thoroughly sucked into another fandom.

this being the first three scenes of the fic the first steps stumbling forward, sometimes known as “100 pages of ostensibly Steve/Loki fic and not only no kissing, but also Loki is still solely referring to Steve by his last name only.”

A ship full of Aesir landing on Midgard’s northern hemisphere was, apparently, “a humanitarian crisis.” From what Loki gathered, that meant mostly a great many arguments ensuing about who was going to deal with them, which really seemed to be about if anyone was going to.

Loki almost wanted to see what would happen if someone tried to tell Thor they had to leave. At least so far, though, no one actually had. Perhaps they recognized that there was no one on their planet with the means to actually enforce that decree. At least not for certain.

Not that their entire reception was hostile. Almost as soon as the situation became clear humans began arriving, some simply to gawk but others seemingly with intent to help. Crews of camera-people and reporters swarmed - mostly around Thor, but others like flies around the miserable remnants of Asgard’s people.

Loki, for his part, kept his distance from them. Eventually he supposed someone might mention his name, but until then he planned to avoid that particular difficulty.

He did go to spy on Thor’s meeting with Stark, who had arrived with much fanfare, stepping out of his suit with a too-wide grin and turning to wave before turning to Thor and promptly doing a double-take.

“Buddy,” he said. “What happened to your hair? Also your eye-”

A small smile played around the corner of Thor’s mouth. “That’s a long story.” He glanced past Stark like he was looking for someone else. “You’re alone?”

Stark’s expression did something tight and complicated. “Long story.” He glanced over his shoulder at the snapping cameras. “Can we go somewhere else? Talk in private?”

“Yes,” Thor said. “This way.” He gestured Stark toward the makeshift headquarters they’d set up back inside the ship, and he walked inside fiddling with the bracelets on his wrists. Loki slipped in after Thor and took up a position in the corner of the room to listen.

The moment the door closed the last of Stark’s bravado fell away and he turned to Thor looking exhausted. “As good as it is to see you, and as much as I’m - really sorry about--” He gestured awkwardly at their surroundings, “--I gotta tell you that you have the worst timing.” He walked over to the table and sat down. “Where’ve you been? Caught some selfies of you on Instagram the other week - in New York, and you didn’t come say hi - but you still had two eyes at that point.”

One of Thor’s hands rose briefly, still self-consciously, to touch his eye-patch. “Yes,” he said. “I was on Earth. Briefly. As I said, it is a long story. Why do I have poor timing?”

Stark rubbed his eyes. “So, uh, right now? There’s this thing called the ‘Sokovia Accords.’ Basically the idea is to make sure superhumans are, uh, supervised.” Thor’s expression remained impassive. Stark glanced away. “So, see, then you show up with a whole...whole bunch of homeless superhumans, superaliens, and everyone’s not quite sure how you fit into this, what kind of compliance they should be demanding...it’s a whole thing. Secretary Ross - you’ll meet him, he’s awful - he says that Asgard should be under US protection because you were an Avenger and the Avengers were a US team, sort of-”

“‘Were’?” Thor said, just as Loki was thinking it, but he thought he’d already figured it out.

“Yeah,” Stark said after a beat. “There was a bit of a falling out. The point is...you and your people are a problem with a capital ‘P’, as far as the governments on Earth are concerned. And I swear to god I heard something about you bringing the Hulk with you too, which is just - hang on, you’re not serious.”

Loki had gathered enough from this conversation, so as much as he wanted to see Stark’s expression he slipped out. He felt Thor glance toward the door opening, but Stark was too busy making incoherent noises that were either excitement, horror, or both, to notice.

Thor came and found him paring slices out of a small and slightly sour apple. The taste wasn’t pleasant, but at least it was fruit.

“You were eavesdropping,” Thor said, not quite an accusation. Loki gave him a quick, wry smile.

“And?”

Thor sighed, but he didn’t actually seem upset. After a moment he sat down next to Loki. “What did you think?”

“I think,” Loki said, “that your friends have done a better job of tearing themselves apart than I ever could have.” Thor gave him a hard look and Loki raised his eyebrows. “What? It’s true, isn’t it?”

“Loki,” Thor said chidingly. Loki shrugged.

“I think it doesn’t change much,” he said. “Midgard’s governments were never going to be happy. They still can’t do very much about it.”

“It also means they won’t help. Or are reluctant to help.”

“True.” Loki glanced down at the half eaten apple in his hands. “Not quite the welcome you expected, hm? Almost makes you wish someone had already conquered this planet.”

Thor’s jaw tightened. “Our people are suffering, Loki.”

Loki held up his hands. “I wasn’t being flippant. Or, I was, but not because I miss the gravity of our situation.” He sighed. “You are just going to have to convince them of our good intentions. While maintaining our independence from the kind of control Stark was describing, as I doubt that would end well.”

“Simple enough,” Thor said.

“And I,” Loki said, “will continue to stay out of the way. If you are now a possible threat…”

Thor rubbed his remaining eye. “Tony thinks that they will ask that the Hulk be turned over.”

Loki barked a laugh. “I’d like to see someone tell Hulk that. From a distance.” Thor’s lips twitched like he was trying not to smile. “Is Stark planning to try?”

“No,” Thor said, sounding faintly puzzled. “I asked if he wanted to speak to the Hulk, but he refused. I have no idea why.”

“He’s ashamed of something,” Loki said promptly. “I’d really like to know what. Though not enough to actually pursue it.” Thor frowned at him again. “What?”

Thor shook his head and then pushed himself to his feet. “I have another meeting with this ‘World Security Council’,” he said. “Wish me luck.”

“Good luck,” Loki said. “Perhaps you should remind them that you’ve saved their planet...how many times is it, now? It’s always possible someone will remember to show some proper gratitude.” He pared another slice off the apple and popped it in his mouth. “If not, you could always set a few nearby trees on fire.”

Thor frowned. “I’m not going to threaten them into submission.”

“Don’t tell me you haven’t been tempted.”

Thor gave him an exasperated look and left. Loki eyed the rest of the unappetizing apple and almost threw it away, only to remember that their food stores were pitifully limited and largely reliant on the relief crews.

Waste not, he thought wearily, and ate the rest of it. It was almost a pity he’d had a solid three years of soft living to get used to luxury again. He’d lost all the good lessons of the three before that.

By the looks of things, he’d have plenty of time to get them back.

You could always leave, whispered a faint voice, not for the first time. There’s a whole universe to wander.

But if he walked away now, Loki didn’t think he’d ever be able to come back. He’d made his decision, for better or for worse. Besides, it wasn’t as though he had a whole lot of options for other places to go where he wouldn’t be risking his neck just by showing his face. Which...was the case here, too.

Loki made a face at the core he was holding and bit it in half hard enough that his teeth clicked together.

The trouble with having to avoid any and all public appearances was that it severely limited what Loki could actually do. He was skulking about like a thief, confined to administrative tasks behind the scenes.

A not insignificant part of him resented it. He wasn’t proud, but there it was: he had always hated feeling invisible, and now more than ever. He’d gotten too used to the spotlight, just as he’d gotten too used to comfortable living. He should have known neither would last.

He reminded himself it was his own fault. That did not particularly help.

Valkyrie seemed to be having the opposite problem. Asgard’s people were in awe of her. The humans were even more impressed. She, meanwhile, appeared to be trying to avoid both.

This meant they spent a fair amount of time together, since her green best friend was a bit of an attention-getter. (Thor had tried to get him to stay out of sight, but it hadn’t gotten him very far. Still, based on Stark’s reaction, someone was suppressing that bit of news. He had to wonder who.)

“You look cheerful,” Loki said when he found her in - surprise, surprise - the ship’s bar. It was empty, but she seemed to find it comforting just the same. She scowled at him.

“Some Midgardian reporter wants an interview. An interview.”

“Are they going to shoot photos of you? Ask about your fashion sense?”

Valkyrie narrowed her eyes. “Is that what they do?” She paused. “How do you know anything about Midgardian news?”

Loki shrugged. “I stole some magazines from one of our generous volunteers. They’re appalling. I don’t recommend them.”

Valkyrie shook her head and stared at the empty bar. “You’re lucky,” she said. “No one’s trying to talk to you.”

Loki barked a laugh. “Yes,” he said, a little bitterly. “Lucky.”

“You are,” Valkyrie said. “If they were trying to talk to you they’d probably be trying to kill you. Right?”

Loki gave her a flat stare. “Thank you for that.”

She shrugged. “Just saying. You should be ready for that to change at some point. Someone’s going to start talking about Prince Loki and then you’re going to have some problems.”

Loki knew that was probably true. He’d thought about it a few times - he was almost surprised it hadn’t come up. Thus far the limited contact between most of the Aesir and any reporters - Thor had been careful about limiting access to their camp - and Thor’s explicit request to the Asgardians that they were to keep Loki’s name off their tongues had spared him, but that wasn’t likely to last forever. At that point...there would be some difficult decisions to make.

Some bleak part of him wondered what Thor would choose to do if Midgard’s authorities asked for his head.

“Thor’s not going to let them kill you,” Valkyrie said, apparently guessing his thoughts.

“Mm,” Loki said. “Even if it is me or Asgard’s safety here?”

“Thor doesn’t like ultimatums. He really wouldn’t like that one.” She leaned back. “I get all the fretting about that. ‘Oh, Valkyrie, what am I going to do about Loki? We can’t keep him secret forever!’”

Loki had to snort at her imitation, but he didn’t know how to explain to her that he was too aware of the fact that Thor had reached the end of his rope with him, the feeling that he was still walking a narrow bridge above a chasm and there was nothing to catch him if (when) he fell.

“You look like you could use a drink,” Valkyrie said.

“Have you left any alcohol in a five mile radius?” Loki asked caustically. She smiled a little toothily.

“I said you could use some,” she said. “Not that I had any.”

“Helpful.”

The toothy smile faded. “Make you a deal,” she said. “You come up with a way that I can avoid all these people who want me to be a hero, and I’ll threaten anyone who comes after your head with Dragonfang. Sound good?”

Loki gave her a crooked half smile. “I think I can figure something out.”

Endgame Chat

!!spoiler free part!!

Hey everyone, this is part one of my full Endgame review, hope you enjoy! My blog is now officially no longer spoiler free (I mean it’s been a week, if you haven't seen it by now then wyd???). However, everything will still be tagged with ‘#endgame spoiler’ and ‘#endgame spoilers’. If you do not want to see any spoilers, PLEASE block these from your feed if you haven't already, consider this your only warning! I will not be taking the blame for anything you have spoiled for you from this blog from now on.

thanks babies,

Lara xxx

I fully have no words to describe this film. It was such a satisfying end I barely even knew I needed, and I have so much I wanna talk about, so strap in cus this is gonna be a long ride.

I think I'm just going to do the same layout as my infinity war posts, with one for character arcs and the there for memorable events/moments.

Let’s start with characters. I’m going to talk mostly about the main six, and anyone else just a brief few things.

Thor

“I’m still worthy!”

I have been seeing alooooot of hate for the way Endgame handled Thor’s character, and I have to completely disagree. We’ve become so comfortable with seeing Thor as the most powerful Avenger, the one who was fine when his mother died, father died, brother, best friend etc that it was crucial to see that this was never actually the case. Thor’s decent into alcoholism, obesity and depression showed he was never really okay with everything that’s happened, he only bottled it inside till it all became too much, and having it healed by a chat with his mother was the perfect way to reach his arc. His relationship with his mother has been so overlooked by the marvel fans (me included) and it was so special to see this heart warming moment between them. When he said “I love you Mum.” to her my heart BURST and my eyes suddenly got very teary, not to mention the added heartbreak that he knew it was the day she was going to die. Overall, although yes, It was comical to see him in this state, that was not the only point to his storyline, it was about seeing a more emotional side to his character, a side which proves he isn't just a ‘tough guy’ who can handle the force of a star and wield lightening. He just as emotionally unstable as the rest of us, and needed his family back (both blood and The Avengers), and a reminder that he was still worthy of Mjolnir to set him back on the right path again to greatness.

His passing of his kingship of Asgard to Valkyrie was also important. Although the Thor franchise had the most perfect beginning and ending, starting with Thor becoming king of Asgard when he was childish and irresponsible and ending with him becoming King when he was actually prepared, the title of king was still not something he chose, and with Valkyrie there to be extremely capable of the role and eager to take it, it makes sense now to allow Thor to go on to actually live the life he wants, and become the true hero his mother tells him to be. I feel he suits the role of a hero who fights the bad guys more than a sensible noble king. I desperately hope he is in Guardians 3, as I think a Quill/Thor bromance is about to blossom beautifully.

Natasha

“I used to have nothing, then I got this family.”

I did not see Natasha’s death coming, like not from a million miles away and it BROKE ME. I actually cried at it more the second time I went to see it. We as an audience forget how she really has no one except The Avengers, they are her one true family, and this is emphasised in the scene on Vormir when she explains how she didn't even know her own father's name. Natasha has always been great in every film she's been in, and has been integral to the development of the MCU, however her role in Endgame was something else. Seeing how broken she was over the snap and seeing how she felt it was her responsibly alone to keep track of the events happening across the whole planet shows how seriously she takes her role as an Avenger and how much she wants to earn the title. I’ll talk more about the scene on Vormir in my next post, but it was really something else. The fact it was Clint she goes with was so important, her best friend. The line from him in the guardians’ ship “this is a long way from Budapest” was such a great call back to the first avengers film, and reminds us of the long history the two share.

When it was obvious one of them was going to die I knew it was going to be her, which is very telling of what I internally think of her character. She would never have let Clint die whilst he had a wife and children at home. Natasha sacrificed herself so that half of the universe could survive, as did Tony. Everyone alive in the MCU owes their life to her, and that is an incredible legacy for her character to leave. She will be desperately missed, but her new film coming out, despite (I assume) being a prequel will be a welcome look into her life again.

RIP Nat x

Clint

“I wish I could tell her we won.”

Opening the film on Clint losing his family was a clever way of reminding the audience of the loss experienced by everyone in Infinity War, not just the characters we followed. It was also interesting to see Clint’s darker side. On his mission to rid the world of the criminals who avoided dusting whilst innocent lives were taken, he murders what we can only assume is hundreds, showing the extreme anger and sadness he was feeling over the loss of his wife and children. It is Tony later in the film who says to Pepper “we got lucky.” in reference to the fact they still had each other, Clint had the least luck, losing three children and his wife, we can understand why he turned to such eratic violence.

Once reunited with The Avengers he continues to have a huge role in the film, especially driven by both his desire to bring back his family, and also avenge Natasha’s death which he most likely feels very guilty for. The moment when they all return form the quantum realm except her, and Clint is seen crying is very emotional, and his role in the fight against Thanos is not one he takes lightning. Clint even carries the Infinity Gauntlet for a large proportion of the final fight scene, we thank him for his incredible service! Endgame was definitely Clint’s film. He had a big part in many of the most emotional/nail biting scenes, and dint just spend the whole thing under the mind control of the main villain! Really glad he got to shine through and find his spotlight, and I can't wait for what the Hawkeye series will have to offer.

Banner

“I put the brains and the braun together.”

Okay so when I first saw the Doctor Hulk combo I HATED IT. I remember turning to my friend in the cinema and just going “I hate it I hate it I hate it get it away from me” but then by the end of the film I won't lie, I loved it. I love that he now has the best sides of both banner and Hulk, the funny/smart/kind side, put together with the incredible strength of The Hulk actually makes for a pretty powerful avenger, even standing up to Thor at one point when he asks him to take his hands off him. Banner had some great comedy bits, including when he makes fun of Scott when the kids don't wanna take a picture with him, and the hilarious part when he punches the taxi in New York, but also some important emotional roles. His upset when he discovers Natasha is dead is evident, explaining how he misses her to Steve later in the film, and this is definitely used as a drive for what he goes on to do. He sacrifices his life and uses the gauntlet to bring everyone back, BANNER DID THAT. Can we start appreciating him more now???? THANKS. No but seriously this was a very important moment for him, and was like the finale of the great character arc we have seen over the last 3 films he has been in. In Ragnaork he struggles with his relationship with the Hulk, still being unable to control when he changes from Hulk to Banner, stuck in either when least convenient, nd always under the control of Hulk. In Infinity War, it’s almost like the two are so connected, and hulk is so aware of Banner’s experience that he begins to control when he doesn't want to come out, rather than when he does. The two are much more like a duo, understanding of each other but stilll not necessarily working together. in Endgame they finally merge, forming a mutual relationship where each benefits wonderfully from the other. I’m really happy for Banner reaching this state. I don't know if his character will appear in anymore MCU films to come, but his character arc has certainly reached a satisfying end, and I believe, despite the sadness of losing Natasha, he has a reached a place of peace and happiness.

Tony

“I love you 3000.”

THE BIG SAD. Still can't believe he is dead. The corner stone of the MCU, the man who made it all happen, how can we ever thank Tony Stark enough? short answer: we can’t, but I'll damn well try. Tony Stark has had perhaps the greatest character arc of them all. Growing from being an arrogant, selfish, greedy businessman who sold weapons and funded wars now sacrifices his life for the entire universe, despite knowing he will leave behind his child and wife alone. It is so painful watching the film for the second time, seeing how desperate he is to not lose what he’s got (Morgan), knowing the whole time what is to happen a the end, yet also a sense of pride emerges. It is heartbreaking to know he will in fact die, but also incredible to know that even despite all his personal feelings, he will always put his family, The Avengers and the rest of the beings in the universe before him because THAT is who Tony Stark is. it doesn't matter who he once was, he has grown beautifully as a character, and has the hero’s death he properly deserves. When Pepper said “you can rest now.” to him I absolutely BAWLED. very good. Awful and painful, but very good.

Also just Tony as a dad, although we didn't get to see it for very long, was a great position to see his character in. He keeps that classic Stark sense of humour “go to bed or I'll sell your toys” whilst also it is immensely clear to see how much being a father has matured him. Although in reality, he is not only a father to Morgan, but Peter too, and choosing to have him die in front of him was truly a STAB to the gut, but also important I think for Peters development now. He will have to go it alone now, without the support of his guardian, which will be a good way to ensure his character can grow independently. Stark was clearly torn up over Peter’s death in a way only a father would, and Peter im sure will carry this bond with him for as long as he lives. I hope to see Morgan and Peter connect in Far From Home, that would be really special, and the perfect way of carrying Tony’s memory.

Thank you to Tony, and RDJ for the incredible 11 years in the MCU, we just could no be here without you, you can rest now, but know you are in our hearts forever.

RIP Tony x

Steve

“You gonna tell me about her?”

“No, I don't think I will.”

Guys okay so I cried at Tony and Nat’s death, but NOTHING got me like Steve’s final scene let me TELL YOU, but first we will start earlier on.

Steve has a very classic role int he first half on the film, comforting Nat when she needs it, helping Tony, devising the plan etc but he really shines in his trip to New York, the final battle scene, and of course his finale.

The scene where he fights himself was really great, and the lines “I can do this all day” “yeah I know” was AMAZING! Not to mention the iconic callback to the elevator scene with the added ‘hail hydra’. The Russo Brothers did an excellent job in ensuring the revisited all the best parts of cap’s time in the MCU in Endgame for sure. But, the best bit came in the final fight scene WHEN HE LIFTED MJOLNIR. I SCREAMED. I genuinely don't think I have ever been so excited in an MCU film in my life, when the hammer came flying through the air I thought at first it was going to be Captain Marvel (which would have been cool too) but when it was him I YELLED. I simultaneously couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing whilst also thinking it was the most obvious thing ever. OF COURSE Steve can lift the hammer, of course he is worthy. The added line of Thor saying: “I knew it!” was just perfect too, with their mid-battle banter yet again “you have the little one, I'll take the big one.” much like in Infinity war with “I see you’ve copied my beard!”. Another great moment was of course the: “Avengers... assemble.” which I also absolutely screeched at. INCREDIBLE CINEMA.

But, despite all this excitement and incredible action Steve’s character got, his best part in the film by far was his final goodbye to Sam and Bucky. When he left to put the stones back something in me knew he wasn't going to come back, and although it was sad, it was also relieving in a way. To know he must be going to find Peggy, and to know he would finally “get some of that life” he had always wanted, and find happiness with her was beautiful. When the camera panned round to him on the bench, it was extremely clever to (as he was older and more shrunken) depict him looking the exact way pre-serum Steve did in The First Avenger, with a similar jacket and smaller frame. At first I thought it somehow was younger him, and It was only seeing his face that made me realise that was not the case. By this post I was properly crying. Like tears streaming down my face hiding my sobs crying. His passing of the shield onto Sam was incredibly moving, and before he left to the see when Bucky and him joke about not doing anything stupid whilst he’s gone was also a perfect goodbye. When he went to put his hand on Sam’s and it showed he had a wedding ring, I honestly couldn't even see through my tears, and that final scene. That final scene. The camera panning through the window, the soft music, the slow turning of the camera to reveal Peggy dancing with Steve, I let out what I think is the ugliest noise I have ever made. a full blown SOB. I was actually uncontrollable, the lights went up in the cinema and I just kept going, still crying a good five minutes later. It was an ending that, now it’s happened, seemed so obvious, yet I never saw it coming. Of course The Avengers’ saga had to end that way. The beauty of the ending was that it wasn’t really an ending at all, but a beginning. Yes, Steve has reached the end of his time as an Avenger, but he was only just starting his true, long life he has ahead of him. The perfect finale.

CONCLUSION

I loved this film. I think it did wonders for all the main characters, and to know I know live in a world with no more Avengers films to come is devastating, but I'm just happy I was alive to see them happen, and to be a part of this wonderful community.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far! Check back next Thursday for my post on storylines/events!

Book 1 Hope returns Chapter 43 Best laid plans By Goldstonegolem 64

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYLLvLneU2k

In Galra central command.

Thace Had spent the passed three weeks reading over ever reports from everyone that was on level eighteen through forty two the day Voltron attacked . Each one was the same as the next they either were I saw so an so from what ever department go down to that level or I was at my work station. An with no leads Lady Haggar took it upon herself to get the Answers and with over Six hundred and forty people to an interrogate. It gave Thace an opening to do his current mission. As he walked toward one of the main control rooms. As he walked towards his objective he felt someone watching him . He didn’t want to draw attention to himself so he kept moving .As he made it to the control room the feeling stopped. Which wasn’t a good sign

“ If your going to kill me then show me you face I'd rather not be stabbed in the back “ Thace said as he turned around to see two of those Super Soldier thing that Haggar introduced a few days. Each wore a helmet that hide their face it made Thace a little uneasy when ever he saw them. He noticed that these two had green on their uniforms which meant they were under the lead ship of that vines freak meaning that this two survived his training regiment . Their was about fifty of those thing in the begin four were killed off when they face voltron and the Valkyrie. Most of the Others were killed off by Root Rot’s training as he called it leaving only ten of them with more to come

“ Hello fleet commander Thace it nice to see you today “ A deep raspy voice

Thace felt a chill up run up is spine as he felt hot breath on his neck. Thace turned around to see the hulking vine monstrosity that was Root rot towering over him .” Hello Root rot what bring you down here?”

“ I’m just taking my best students for a walk before we depart for are mission” Rot said with a wicked smile on his face

“ And what is that mission?” Thace asked now a little worried

“ Well seeing as that Commander what's her name again Helner was it failed Lady Haggar Has decide to send me to conquer the planet of Olkarion. Now what bring you down here” Root rot asked

“ Same as you just walking “ Thace said

“Please try that again Thace.“ Root rot said as he started to lean in closer

“ What do you mean “ Thace said as he reached for is blade only to find at it wasn’t there

“ Looking for this “ Root rot said as he held Thace’s blade in his hand “ It’s been about six hundred years since I've last seen one of these “ As they said that a few dozen blades of the same make started to come out from between the vines that made up his body “ So Now I will ask again What really brings you here Agent thace “

Thace felt a twinge of fear run down his spine as he saw each one of the blades. As he looked at each blade he remembered when he first joined the blade he read about how about six hundred and forty two years ago thirty nine blades when out to kill a bio-terrorist. Only one returned and they were drive man by the experiences. But he didn’t have time to waste So he remembered his training then spoke” As i said before i’m just walking same as you now my i have the blade my sister gave me for my birthday last year “

Root Rot starred at Thace for a few seconds. Then a wicked smile came across his face as he handed the blade back. But as thace reach out for it. Root Rots hand unraveled and wrapped around Thace’s arm and pulled him closer and whipped “ You may fool everyone else here but you can’t fool me. I'm guessing you're really here to sabotage this console as well your the one that let Voltron and the Valkyrie escape. But don’t worry I won’t tell not because we share the same goals. I just like to watch my prey squirm. So watch your back. “ Root rot said as he released Thace's hand “ Blackthorn , Ironwood lets set out were heading out soon. Goodbye Thace try not to die while I'm away” Root rot said as he started to walk away followed by his suburbanites

Thace stood there for a few seconds not know how to handle what just happened . All he know was that his mission had compromised. But he still had to do it . So He entered the control room . Pealed of off one of his nails and pulled out a small chip that would allow him to Sabotage the Command central defenses from his office . He then pleased the chip under the console and then left the room to return to his office to connect his personal computer to the console. After a minutes the door to the control room opened again and two figures appeared walking into the room

Elsewhere

In the castle of lions Everyone stood around a holo projector.

“ Hey hunk “ Snap” Walk up” Snap jay snapped his metal fingers in front of the sleeping yellow paladin

Hunk awake startled by the sound “ Sorry I've haven't sleep well that passed few days what did i miss.”

“ Lance you up” Shiro said

Lance walked up to the Holo projector “ Ok Here’s the plan that the beautifully pidge as come up with. First were going to build a massive Teludavs Ring that’s going to teleport The command center way from the main fleet .Which will allow Us and the rebel feet that General Asmo is work on getting to help us. “

As Lance explained the plan. Allura was looking and the room an as she did everything changed or more appropriately everyone changed everyone looked older. Shiro’s hair was fully white.he wear glasses and had a little bit of stubble on his chin Also his prosthetic was a little bit bigger it no longer had an upper arm it was just a metal hand and forearm and their was a disk was that glowed blue attactech to where the joint would be . Adam looked the same just a little older looking, same with Lance and Pidge. Hunk hadn’t changed much either he was a little muscular and his hair was shorter , Matt was the same a few more scars here and there . Beau was in that new body that Pidge, Matt , Jay,hunk, La-sai and himself were working on. The bodies design looked like what Pidge called a World war 1 fighter pilots uniform with Jay’s salvagers helmet as the head. The bodies color was a mixture of blues and reds. Then there was Keith and Jay that had the biggest changes to them. Keith was much taller then before his hair was longer, He had a purple marking or burn scar on his face. He was also wearing the same robes as kolivan . An as for jay he had a bushy beard and a thick handlebar mustache, his hair was longer and nearly touched the floor. Also his right eye looked like it was half closed do to a scar that line over the eyelid. He also had a tail that split into two sharp bone blade tails that wrapped around his waist . As for the rest of the crew they all looked relatively the same.

This wasn’t the first time she Saw them like this it happened every so often that she didn't pay it no mind. She just thought it was a side effects of her being in cryo sleep for ten thousand years . But as these things happened more frequently. She started to look back on that dream she had a few weeks back where she saw those gravestones of all her friends and she started to think that maybe it wasn't a dream Maybe it was a warning of things to come in the coming years .

“ Allura your up” Lance said as he pointed towards Allura

Allura shook from her stupor “ Yes We’ll be splitting up to for teams. Shay, Rax, Coran and i Will go to the Balmare to Collect a Crystal strong enough to power the ring. Well Hunk, Keith Nyma,and Rolo with Go collect Skulltrite from a weblum. While that is going on Shiro, Matt,Adam and Lance will go to Beta Traz to rescue an engineer named Slav. As for the rest of the team you will go to Olkierion an defend it from any Imperial warships that might come near the planet. Now An questions ?” Allura asked

“ just one from what the blade has told us there are more of those discount Valkyries now mixed in with the normal Warships and probably in side of the command center along “ JAy snapped his fingers trying to remember the names of the four other robeast pilots “ Skyver,Harley,Quinn and that thing i still don’t know or want to know the name of still working with the empire meaning that they will be there to defend the command center How are we going to handle that many enemies at once?”

“ Yeah Jay right there is only so much Voltron and Valkyrie can handle ” Shiro said

“ Yeah and i really don’t want to be thrown around like a rage doll again “hulk said

“Well i have come up with a way to handle that problem” Pidge said as she changed the image on the holo projection. To Show of a familier Cube “ Seeing as we're going back to Olkierion I was thinking about Asking Ryner if she could reprogram those cubes we fought before.” Then the image changed again to show of the titanic Knight that helped them. And if possible maybe we could Call on the help of that Valguard figure.”

“Yeah If we could get their help it could really turn the tide in a favor ever more” Adam said

“ But how are going to contacted that thing the first place” Jay say a little skeptical

In the back of jay’s mind “ I could try and play that song it used to contact us the first time when we get to Olkierion ”

“ Ok but how are we going to do that val. I mean yes we have deep space comms but how do we know it’s going to responded” Jay replied out loud.everyone looked at him “ Sorry Val was talking to me and brought up that maybe we could possible use that song to contact Vanguard.” Jay said rubbing the back of his head embarrassed .

“ That’s not a bad idea “ Shiro said

“ But what makes you believe that this Vanguard will come and help us “Kolivan asked

“ Well it seemed to have some sort of connection To Val and Voltron. It said that it was so happy to no longer be alone. So i going to take a guess that it will do anything no to be alone again ” Lance said

“ Well we will only find out when we try it . Now everyone Get ready and head out to your missions “ Allura order. She watched as everyone left the bridger . An after a few minutes took to the hem and opened up three wormholes The first one had the blue lion flying into it . The second one had the yellow lion fly into. While the third hole had the Valkyrie, Green lion , The prometheus fly into it. After that she closed those Wormholes she opened a huge wormhole and slowly flow the Castle of lions into it. She prayed for everyone's safe return and hope nothing back happened to Oklierion while the were alway. But she had to push that to the back of her mind and focused on the task at hand.

endgame review

i’ve waited 24 hours for my endgame feels to sink in. spoilers and strong opinions are under the cut.

first i need to start with the parts that i loved and that made the movie stand out and be memorable and parts that i immensely enjoyed:

- tony and nebula’s friendship and nebula’s arc later. she finally stopped being self destructive, lost the desire to please thanos and stood up for herself. she made a strong bond with gamora and even in the past, that bond stood out and it was beautiful. she got more screen time and stopped being just a weapon. got to play games, got to be appreciated for more than a good warrior. joked with people and made good friendships.

- tony telling steve off. tony stan here, but unbiased opinion is that him and steve had a falling out. steve stayed on earth and tony ended up stranded on an alien planet and nearly died. he is a non powered man and only had his armor and got stabbed by thanos and he has never felt more alone than when oxygen was slowly running out on him and nebula. he should have argued and called him out on them sticking together, and he had every right to do so.

- whole time travel thing. it was nostalgic, i am really glad they connected this, as last movie, to the previous ones. thor getting his moment with frigga, tony commenting on shape of steve’s ass, loki disappearing with tesseract, little things like that. they gave movie depth and not just thanos aftermath.

- steve had some show stopping scenes. telling himself he could do this all day and being tired of himself bc he knows how big of a pain in the ass he can be in the battle?? hell yes thank you. steve wielding mjolnir?? legit had me cheering, wig snatched.

- i genuinely liked thor’s arc. he lost everyone he had ever cared about, it was normal for him to be depressed and angry and that he had given up. i am glad rocket snapped him out of it because it gave rocket depth and we saw how deeply he connected to all of them and decided not to be an asshole and be kinder to people that surround him. it showed another part of them being a family and how even characters we never thought would love each other this way, ended up with an unbreakable bond that is more than just a team work.

- more screen time for underappreciated amazing characters, james rhodes, scott lang, clint barton. more of their interactions and showing how funny and smart they are??? they had my heart.

- i LOVED professor hulk. mark ruffalo finally got more screen time and it showed how smart bruce really is and that he is not just some likable guy who is intelligent, but not as much as other scientists (like scenes with shuri in infinity war that i loved because of shuri, but in past movies they downplayed his intellect a bit). i loved how he was more confident and at peace with himself.

- thanos!!! thanos remained a formidable villain and his arc was still the best villain arc in mcu. he is not easy to take on , he is a threat and he gave movie and everything that happened a meaning.

- best mcu scene to this day - strange opening portals and people passing through, ready to slay enemies. all united, all fighting together, all boosting and helping each other out in this final battle that we waited for 10 years??? literally killed every other movie battle ever. they have outdone themselves.

- peter seeing tony and talking about soul stone world, not realizing that everything was done for him and out of love for this amazing boy?? beautiful.

- TONY FUCKING STARK WIELDING INFINITY GAUNTLET. YES. had me yell at the screen, it was showstopping. my favorite scene ever in movie history. mere mortal taking on the fate of the world and killing every bad creature and smiting thanos himself. CONTENT I LIVE FOR.

- valkyrie a king??? hell yes, she deserved it. no one more than her.

now, things that ruined the movie for me and that i do not think i will easily accept or forgive:

- i understand that in the end, since natasha and clint went to vormir, in the end had me desiring that she would be the one to give up, since he has a family. but it’s not supposed to be that way. natasha seemed out of character the whole time. she was way more emotional, i partially understand because she lost everything and it has affected her more than anything ever. but it was bad writing. woman dying for shock value and to effect men??? why. she just started expressing herself and letting know people she loves them and really connected and bonded with them and have her go like that? as a sacrifice? uncalled for.

- pepper’s arc bugged me the whole time. woman who was there from the beginning to call tony out on his shit, also was a woman who stopped him from doing reckless things. she was always the one who kept arguing with him, literally in every movie, over his desire to save the world and to protect them. he told her he found a way to bring everyone back, but one word from her (something she was terrific at), and he would ditch it and stay with their family. and this is the first time she encouraged him to do something so reckless and it was poor overshadowing of his death and insanely out of character for her. she knew how it would end and she kept saving him from himself, because he was always terrified of losing her and in a way that stopped him from doing what he did years ago. they had a family and in the end . her showing up in an armor had me in tears, because that’s my gal, but also that is incredibly reckless and like she didn’t think things through in 2-3 scenes she had in the movie??

- i’m in it for tony. naturally i am upset. but not because he died, but because of HOW he died. naturally gauntlet took a toil on him. his body was combusting. it was devastating. what killed me was that pepper, love of his life, approached him and seemed like she had kind of a bad day. asked for his vitals and when told he is dying, she shed a tear and told him that he could rest. it blew my mind that she did not crumble in front of him, no “ i love you” nothing that would be her last words to him that showed him that he meant the world. he knew that, but would have been nice to have something like that. ALSO, him not being able to speak??? BEYOND OUTRAGED. no actual goodbyes, no him saying anything to the avengers, just lying like he had a stroke. the best character with the most complicated arc in the entire marvel universe and did something unimaginable and to have him just fall and not say goodbye or how he feels, or is he afraid of dying or what is happening to him??? “ i am iron man” is a great line for taking on thanos, but as last words while he is alive, unsatisfying and writing for shock value. peter crying, hugging him, apologizing , that was beautiful. everyone who he had just given his life for just standing aside, looking at him, shedding one tear???? steve? STEVE ROGERS???? JAMES RHODES??? no goodbyes between best friends, no them being wrecked and having breakdowns??? really?

- steve’s ending. it was the most out of character thing russos have ever done. they became famous for taking on characters in their own ways, but steve, person who had such strong relationships with tony, bucky and sam, leaving bucky and sam for a selfish cause of going back in time to a woman who already had a fulfilling life and found a way to live without him?? who had a husband and family? who was accomplished and her heartbreak over losing steve gave her depth and she got out stronger than ever. and he just went back and her whole history and family was erased for it, because he loved her and they shared one kiss a lifetime ago? steve going back to do this and not free bucky from hydra or help his best friend out, a man who he started civil war over and fought government for, steve leaving bucky and sam, people who have been with him through thick and thin, going back to indulge himself, thinking he cannot be happy in present, not thinking about two people who have to now live on without him? bucky who never got a decent time with him after ca:tfa, who’s life has been nothing but a shitstorm, now having to live without his best friend and only person that felt like a home? insanity. steve rogers, the most self-sacrificial, stubborn little shit, who gave enemies hell for people he cared about, leaving people behind? never.

in conclusion, for me movie did nothing but upset me, because i have invested 10 years into this, countless hours of writing meta and giffing scenes that went unnoticed, loving these characters, pouring my heart and soul and time into this, and for them to kill off people for shock value, natasha and tony, to have them fuck up steve’s arc beyond words, to end relationships or to make them meaningless.... they did pay an omage to previous movies, but not characters and how they were previously portrayed. tony, man who started mcu, should not die for us to be miserable bastards after spending so much time in this universe, he should have gotten to live a happy life with the family he had just started.

in the end, if anyone had to die, for me it was supposed to be both steve and tony, in a battle, bloody with glorious goodbyes, their last battle, showing each other how they would lay their lives so the other one lives, sacrificing for each other, but have both biggest characters die gloriously, not one like he had a stroke and second one grow old and selfish, abandoning his friends and family.

in the end, i did not like the movie. first marvel movie to this day that i didn’t like, because it was first that erased so many good things.

Fixable Moments in Endgame [Endgame Spoilers, duh]

WHY I PERSONALLY THINK SOME CHARACTER ARCS WERE DONE DIRTY, PUT UNDER THE CUT AND IF THAT DOESN’T WORK I PUT TWO OF MY DOG PICTURES SO YOU CAN SCROLL REALLY FAST.

Just so you know, and this is at the end of the post as well. I still really enjoyed Endgame for what it was and for what we got. I just have a few problems I’m pretty vocal about too. But I’m trying to not let that effect me as much.

LAST WARNING, ENDGAME SPOILERS AHEAD

Okay so hopefully those pictures of my dogs will allow you to calm and relax. If you’ve seen my last post, I was really upset with just how Tony died.

I first came out of Endgame like, okay that was pretty okay closure, sure. Steve’s happy and Tony can finally rest and everyone’s alive and Natasha could be at peace with herself because of well, her ledger.

Then I kept thinking. No. They didn’t deserve this end.

Nat’s death was the only death done well. The only one. But I have more about the soul stone later on.

Steve didn’t really die, and I knew he was gonna not be Captain America but I was curious as to how. I also really wanted Sam to wield that shield because even if Shuri cleaned Bucky of his whole Hydra-ness in his brain, I really do think Sam deserved that shield. So good on you Russos. Because in TWS, it’s said that Sam’s just like Steve, just slower. Steve is the embodiment of Captain America, if that’s the case then that means so is Sam.

But why in the world did Steve decide to go back in time and be with Peggy? It was pretty closely put there in the show, Agent Carter, and in general that Peggy ended up with Daniel Sousa. Or just someone who wasn’t Steve. Why did Steve have a thing with Sharon in CW then? What was the point of her character? Sharon was badass, but like come on Russos!!! Steve is not one to see something going south and look the other way. That was very well established in CW, directed by the Russos. Yet he goes back in time, sticks with Peggy knows the things he knows about everything (like the Cold War, BUCKY) and you’re telling me he decided to have a domestic life? No!!! IF he even decided to stay back there, he would not sit still. He would have done something. Plus, you can’t say that when Sharon was born and Steve became her uncle that’s a little fucking weird. What the hell was Steve’s ending Russos? Steve’s arc was throughout his trilogy and later Avengers movies was finding his place in the modern world and finding Bucky. He did so much to get Bucky back only to leave him?! Come on, he knows how it feels to be alone in a different time why would he do that to Bucky? Someone who he fought for and said “Till the end of the line” but he broke that promise. Steve’s at the end of his line already by the end of Endgame. So what’s left of that promise? Nothing, it was dusted.

So yeah, I’m upset about Steve’s ending. An entirely better way could have just been that maybe he’s the one that dies (I would have been upset probably, but it would be very him) instead of Tony. Because Steve has always been the one to sacrifice himself. That would be his arc, seeing the situation going so fucking south that he’s like “Whatever it takes!!” And he gets that gauntlet and snaps. Or maybe he loses his super soldier serum and that’s how he survives but gives the shield to Sam instead. I haven’t really thought of this one so you can add on.

Tony, god Tony’s ending fucking hurt. Tony’s death, his funeral, all of it. It was unfair. All he wanted was a domestic life but the Russos gave that to Steve even though Steve’s character would not want that domestic life? Tony could have been rested not by death but with his little girl, his wife, Peter who he finally got back, knowing that his friendship with Steve is better now. And could grow better if the two were still alive. That was Tony’s deserved arc, fighting the fight to end the fight so he could GO HOME and be with his FAMILY. That’s what should have happened. That’s what he deserved. Go ahead and tell me otherwise. I know it’s shorter of an explanation than Steve’s but that’s mostly because people know Tony better and I think people can agree with me on this more. Pepper didn’t deserve to see Tony die, Peter too, and his best fucking friend Rhodey. They knew he fought this fight to end it so he could spend some time and just retire to be with his family.

Ways to fix this: Not kill Tony. Have someone else wield the gauntlet. Steve perhaps? Or maybe even Thor.

Edit [4/29/19]: I am now a little more accepting of Tony’s death but I’m just tired that it has to be through death to have the future Avengers come in. I’m tired that there always has to be angst and whatnot(which I talk about towards the end of this meta) to make things realistic. Realistic =/= sadness and negativity and all of that shit. Happy endings can be realistic. But I’ll always be sad. Here’s a good meta that explains something very well regarding his death: (link) by @van-dyne.

I would have actually been fine if Tony died if he didn’t have his little girl. (Find Tinymintywolf’s side twitter, not her art twitter, for an explanation on this). But then they introduced Morgan and whoop there it is, he has a family what he’s been wanting for so long.

Thor is an Asgardian and we’re all aware of how much his mental health was hit. Yet he was reduced to a fucking joke. Like wow hahahaha so funny—not. I feel like, Thor wouldn’t need a redemption arc. But I know in his mind, he’d feel like he should because he blames himself, right? If he were to wield the gauntlet instead, it would make himself feel better about himself, better about being the king his people needed while still being an Avenger. Thor also shouldn’t have left his people. So let’s say he does wield the gauntlet. He goes back to his people and he finally feels worthy to lead. So that’s what he does, he finally gets back to being the king that his character arc had developed for him in his own trilogy, and being an Avenger. That should have happened.

It just makes sense because each movie was mostly about him building his way up to become the king he was supposed to be. Those few lines he exchanged with Valkyrie along the lines of “maybe I shouldn’t be the person I’m supposed to be but rather the person I [need/want] to be” ??? I can’t remember. I just thought that was lowkey like, wot. But for further emphasis, the first movie was about how he wasn’t worthy to hold the hammer or even be king. The second one was figuring out how to be a good man and a king. The third was trying to figure if he was the one to actually be king, and at the end of Ragnarok, he is.

If Thor weren’t to wield it, then maybe Hulk. What if Bruce just lost Hulk. Then it’s just Bruce and he could be himself. Like the whole Professor Hulk thing was pretty interesting and I didn’t have a problem with it. This is just a little thought that I didn’t really think much on so you can add on to this too.

Now we get to Nat. Nat and Clint’s little fight with each other was very much in character. I don’t really like MCU Clint, I think the whole farmhouse scene could have still been done with one minor change, Laura’s not his wife, it’s his sister or his sister-in-law because he has a brother, Barry!!! Then all those kids are like his nieces/nephews. Anyways, that was the only death that was done that I feel sad but I feel so much closure on, Tony’s, Steve’s, and even Thor’s endings gave “closure” not the right one for each character, as explained before. I’m just upset that there wasn’t a funeral scene for her, or more grieving. Or just, something.

Then here’s a little idea, not sure if it could work but if Steve was going to go return the soul stone at Vormir, the way the rules work at that mountain is “A soul for a soul” right? Then by giving up the soul stone, can’t he bring back Nat? And if that’s the case then Clint should be the one returning the soul stone. So maybe the reason why when Bruce said (and I got this from a different tumblr post, I forgot who so let me know so I can give credit) he couldn’t bring Nat back was because they already gave the soul stone back (because time travel is whack) and Nat is already back.

There’s so much more that I’m probably forgetting, I may update or just reblog more. If you guys want to talk or vent, please feel free! I don’t bite! And I’m open to other ideas and just how you think it should have ended.

Here’s a disclaimer as well: This is not something against the actors and actresses, they all did so well. I think it’s in part a bit of Russos and the writers and anyone else who develops this story. I’m also not saying this because I’m sad Tony’s dead and Steve is no longer Captain America. I would have been fine with Steve not being Captain America anymore if done right.

Also, why does everything always have to be so dark? So edgy? Angsty? It’s fictional so can’t we just... Have that sort of happiness? I’ve watched the MCU for hope, happiness, and you know a good ending. It’s not what I got though. I love the characters, all of them. I like little pellets of angst here and there. But just, why? I’m not sure if I can keep watching the MCU. I still might but I might also just disregard bits and pieces of Endgame.

I just think that the moment you bring in time travel it screws things up. Because essentially it brings in the whole multiverse and if we’re trying the make the MCU one singular timeline, then, uh, hello? Also the entire thing with five years passed but everyone comes back from the moment they disappeared, WOT. Okay, I’m done.

[Minor edit in this Paragraph, 4/29]Overall, I still enjoyed Endgame. A lot. There were so many good moments and a lot of moments where the characters were just them. I loved it a lot and I’m trying to overlook a few things here and there because what I’ve said shouldn’t ruin the movie. I still really enjoyed it a lot. It was good because this was the movie we’ve been waiting for. A nod to the fans, the actors, everyone who created this universe. It was just something that was amazing. @suitofhumour had a really strong point in their post (link) that I’m alluding to here and I don’t want to take credit for it so please, give it a read. Some things don’t sit right with me and I’m so fucking heartbroken over Tony okay, and I’m mad about Steve and Thor. But, yeah.

[Edit 5/5/19] I GOT ANOTHER THING. If what the former Sorcerer Supreme had said that if one stone got removed from their timeline, there’s nothing that can keep the flow of time, reality, whatever, in check and would ultimately destroy their timeline. Which is why Steve had to go back in time to give it all back seconds after removing it. By that logic, can’t you say that if you were to destroy the stones, then wouldn’t it mean there are no more stones to keep all of the flow of whatever in check? So since the OG timeline no longer has the stones because their Thanos destroyed it, then what?

Here’s another picture of my dog to calm you down. If needed.

Dear Creator letter for MCU Spaceships

Under the cut.

Thank you for writing for me! My requests are in loose groups - due to this a couple of them appear more than once. Any prompts/suggestions from either group or a combination are fine for those.

Group 1 - Valkyrie ships.

Valkyrie’s old. Old as balls. She’s been on Sakaar where time runs strangely, sure, but it’s still been a long time for her. Judging by the Sif stuff in the first movie, and Thor mentioning wanting to be a Valkyrie, she’s practically a cryptid to the Asgardians. How does this come out in her interactions with other Asgardians? How much have Asgardians customs changed since her time? Does she want to be an Asgardian again, and form relationships - platonic and romantic and familial - with them, or does she want to just bounce and set up on Earth as a bounty hunter and get an Earth girlfriend? Going back into earlier in the canon, did Carol ever meet her in her space travels, before or after becoming Captain Marvel? Going AU, what if Valkyrie landed on Jane’s research instead of Thor? We don’t have a canon age for Frigga, so it’s very possible they knew each other back in the day. Perhaps Frigga was once a valkyrie, or Valkyrie was Frigga’s favoured knight once upon a time. I’d love worldbuilding around the valkyries and their place in Asgardian society and history and myth.How does Valkyrie feel about the Asgard she knew being forever lost? Instead of coming back to Asgard, Asgard has come to her, homeless space vagabonds. She’s got to have a lot of feelings about that. She, Loki and Thor agreed to bring about Ragnarok - how do they feel about that? Did they fail or succeed? How does the galaxy at large respond to the fall of Asgard - and are its princes targets for Asgard’s enemies and victims? What are the Jotun up to right now, for instance?

Group 2 - Carol ships.

Carol has a lot of identity stuff going on, and I’d love to see how she’s dealing with that, how she’s reconciling who she was with who she was after that and who she is now. Did she have the same habits and quirks and wants as Vers and Carol? Or did she like different things and behave differently? How is that playing out in her interactions with others? Is she lonely, out in space with no one from either of her old lives? This is the first time she’s had a chance to miss Monica and Maria, and know Maria is growing up and Monica growing old without her. Do the Skrulls ever guise themselves as people she knows for a moment’s comfort, or would that be too painful? How does Carol fit in with a Skrull society? How do they handle it when the Skrulls can fit neatly into any society and Carol’s a sore thumb? How does Carol feel about what she did as a Kree - she was lied to, yes, but did she never suspect? How much did she close her eyes to that she realises now were warning signs? How do the Skrulls feel about this? And then there’s her return to Earth - she’s returning to a very different world, and like Valkyrie, she’s got to have a lot of feelings about her absence. How will she interact with Jane, who presumably endured everything that happened on Earth? And for that matter, what IS going on with Jane? She briefly embodied one of the Infinity Stones, same as Carol. Perhaps they’re drawn to each other. Perhaps Jane wants to study Carol. We don’t have much about Mar-Vell, but she’s a super interesting character. I’m not very interested in the period where Carol believes she’s human, but I’d be very interested in an AU where her alienness emerges early on and Carol has to deal. Also an AU where Mar-Vell lives - perhaps she takes empowered Carol and goes on the lam, or perhaps they’re both captured.

Group 3 - Nebula Ships

Nebula’s fantastic. I love how strange she is. I wonder how strange she’d be to her own people, and how much like them she is? Was she originally blue, as Gamora was green - or not? Did she ever have hair, and does she miss it? Did she always have a healing factor, and Thanos worked with that? Are all her people a little awkward and abrupt by human standards? The dynamic between Gamora and Nebula is really interesting, and the differences and similarities in how they reacted to Thanos’ raising. One of my favourite moments in GotG is when, after it seems they’d been setting up a conflict between Loyal Daughter and Rebel Daughter, Nebula reveals she is only waiting for her chance to turn on Thanos. Did Gamora and Nebula know that about each other? Did they ever keep each other’s secrets? I’d really like to see what a happy ending for those two crazy kids would look like, or in the angstier vein, something about their power struggles when they served Thanos. Nebula and Jane - like all the Jane ships here, Jane will be interested in space, and I think Nebula would find it unusual, that Jane is interested in her not because of the quality of being Thanos’ daughter, but for the very ordinary (to her) quality of being a space adventurer. And Jane is so civilian - she’s not a physical fighter at all. (yet!) Nebula might be fascinated by a body so undesigned. Thor and Nebula haven’t interacted much, but I think Nebula’s vague similarities to Loki could attract Thor’s interest, and Nebula could be interested by someone who grew up with so little trauma and pain, and was damaged so badly by it. As for Nebula and Rocket, they have SO much in common. If you’re not into the hot raccoon action I’d be just as into them becoming besties and forming an alliance of moral expediency against the Guardians.

Group 4 - Frigga ships

I wanted way more of Frigga. We know so little about her! How long have she and Odin been married? Canonically, there’s no indication she’s actually Hela’s mother, which is interesting. (I am not really into cross-generational incest so I hope it’s okay to write them as not mother and daughter - if you only matched on this ship and you only like it as an incest ship I can cope but would prefer no explicit porn and no underage.) So is Frigga a second wife, or did Odin maintain a harem, or cheat, or did Hela leap from his brain like Athena? Is she as old as Odin? For Hela and Valkyrie, we can go back into the past and have them know each other; perhaps there was a queen-favoured warrior dynamic, or perhaps pre-marriage Frigga was a Valkyrie and fought under Hela’s command. (After all, with Hela’s banishment it would be natural for Odin to seek a wife for more children... and Frigga would, with either pairing, have lost her love. For Frigga/Jane, I just think they’d be cute together once they got over the weirdness of stealing your son’s girl. Or perhaps by Asgardian customs the ladies of the family all entertain each other while the menfolk are off doing terrible acts of war.

Group 5 - Fury/Talos

They were just cute and funny, great buddy dynamic.All I really ask is you don’t devalue Talos’ relationship with Soren. Have Skrulls non-monogamous or something, or she gets divine inspiration and joins an exclusive order of celibate warrior-monks that mean she and Talos must regretfully part with love, that’s fine, I’ll be very forgiving of handwaves. Adding her to the ship also totally fine.

Prompts of things I’d like to see, or just go nuts based on the above comments.

Valkyrie/Thor/Loki: fake relationship. For whatever reason they have to go undercover as an aristocrat and her two husbands/harem boys/whatever.

Valkyrie/Heimdall: Heimdall saw everything in Asgard. He’s the best person to tell her what it was like. And she can tell him what it was like in her day. What sort of Asgard would they like to build?

Valkyrie/Frigga: Maybe Ragnarok wasn’t the first time someone found Valkyrie. Frigga goes to Sakaar looking for something lost, and while negotiating the Grandmaster’s erratic court, she finds a valkyrie.

Valkyrie/Jane: due to Reality Stone nonsense or a Bifrost mishap, Jane lands on Sakaar and is collected by Valkyrie. The Grandmaster doesn’t know exactly what’s going on with her, but she’s clearly possessed of massive power, so it’s gladiatorial training for her. Valkyrie has to teach her some self-preservation skills - perhaps it’ll reflect badly on her if Jane gets stomped first fight - and Jane needs to get control over this cosmic power if she’s to have any hope of long term survival and returning home. And the Dark Elves are still looking for her...

Valkyrie/Carol: Sparring. Carol is used to sparring with Yonn-Rogg, who always tells her to rein in her power, show better control, don’t get carried away. Valkyrie, on the other hand, spars with the Hulk. Valkyrie showing Carol it’s all right to let loose, and that she can take anything Carol’s got.

Carol/Jane: I would love some classic identity porn with Carol, Jane and Mighty Thor. Perhaps Carol is besotted with this gorgeous warrior and irritated by Dr Foster’s constant requests to interview and analyse her. Perhaps she resents this new Thor for taking on her friend’s role, but has a soft spot for that beautiful scientist. Perhaps she thinks they’re both super hot and is trying really hard to orchestrate a threesome. (Bedroom farce based on this would be amazing.) Or maybe she hates them both until events, etc.

Carol/Soren/Talos: Carol and Soren and Talos are posing as a married couple. Keyword: couple. Carol is never sure who’s holding hands with her and who’s off breaking into secret government offices. Are they both flirting with her, or only one of them? Can end up threesome, or either pairing, but as stated above please do not devalue the Talos/Soren relationship.

Carol/Mar-Vell: Vers is living a perfectly normal Kree warrior life when some lunatic woman kidnaps her and drags her off in a spaceship, telling her wild stories about her *real* past. Mar-Vell has only just managed to escape custody, and after years of mentally wresting the Supreme Intelligence, she’s kind of poorly adjusted. She knows she can’t leave Carol behind when she escapes, though.

Gamora/Loki/Nebula: Thanos sends Gamora (or Nebula) with Loki to subjugate Earth. Gamora (or Nebula) takes the chance to get an Infinity Stone out of Thanos’ hands (or get revenge on Thanos), and either persuades or forces Loki to go on the lam. Nebula (or Gamora) is sent in pursuit, and Loki and Gamora (or Nebula) have to persuade her to join them.

Nebula/Jane:Jane has to go do uhhh urgent science somewhere off planet. Or maybe she’s the first human delegate at an interstellar conference. They’re going to send Gamora as her guide and bodyguard, but due to a hilarious misunderstanding Gamora is in space jail or bodyswapped with Rocket or glued to Drax. Nebula offers to take her place, and somehow no one realises what a terrible idea this is. So off they road trip. Nebula has no idea what “dangerous” is and Jane has no idea that Nebula has no idea what “dangerous” is. So they careen from disaster to disaster, Nebula causes carnage, Jane has a lovely time and has no idea how close to death she is at any given moment.

Gamora/Nebula: between the movies. Gamora wants to find Nebula; sometimes, Nebula wants to be found. Perhaps she just wants Gamora to keep looking.

Nebula/Thor: <em> and this is the map of my heart, the landscape after cruelty which is, of course, a garden, which is. a tenderness, which is a room, a lover saying Hold me tight, it's getting cold</em> Nebula is a person who has done terrible, brutal things, and she’s betrayed her sister more than once. Thor wants to know how she’s living with herself. The answer is badly. Thor decides that maybe they can be siblings to each other, and help each other heal. He eventually decides that dropping the siblings thing is best, what with all the sex they’re having.

Nebula/Rocket: <em>There ain’t nothing like me, but me</em> As morally bankrupt lab experiments, the two of them have a lot in common. Put them in circumstances where they have to feign moral competence, heroism, or being good at interaction - perhaps their friends are being held prisoner by a rigidly honourable alien race and they have to diplomacy them out? Perhaps they’ve been stranded on a lawless world and are pretending to be Asgardian warriors to diminish the chances of being ganked? They accidentally get custody of a small child and have to set a good example because if they return the child tattooed and with a prison record they’ll probably be executed? Trying to see them work out proper behaviour from first principles could be deeply hilarious, or kinda sad.

Frigga/Hela: Frigga was always meant to be Queen of Asgard. She just thought it would be when Hela took the throne. Frigga and Hela as battle wives, or perhaps Frigga’s a diplomat who Hela courts. Maybe Odin arranges their marriage.

Jane/Frigga: instead of Thor being banished, it’s Frigga. Perhaps she forcibly objects to Odin banishing her son, and he sends her instead. Perhaps she protest some other Odin-y thing. Anyway, Jane finds her instead of Thor, and is just as charmed. Will Frigga prove her worthiness? Does she even want to?

Nick Fury/Talos: Talos would like to be sworn warrior brothers with Fury. There are traditional rituals. Fury is touched and honoured. The rituals turn out to involve sex. Why, what do sworn warrior brothers do on Earth?

SPOILER REVIEW, ALL SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

Okay spoiler review:

I. Fucking. Loved. It.

I will address the complaints of certain things as they come up.

Things I think could have been improved:

Including the scene that was the mid-credits of CM. A lot of people didn’t go to see it so their context was off when she saved Tony and Nebula.

Almost no one knew who Harley was, now that he was all grown up, during Tony’s funeral. Most people just said “who the hell is that?”. Give him a crushed Dora watch that he is holding/looking at and everyone will know.

The gay character was Joe Russo sitting in Steve’s support group. STFU that isn’t even a side character.

I wish one more OG6 Avenger had died. I figured one of each pair would (and I was right for 2) but I didn’t think four would survive. Idk if I’d choose Thor or Professor Hulk but one of them.

That’s it.

Okay, now to things I fucking loved:

That cold opening. Clint having a good time and then his whole family just…. goes. Then when they reverse the snap his phone ringing and it being his wife was an amazing way to finish the arc. My lord.

Karen Gillan deserves an Oscar for her acting. Holy shit. Confused killer robot playing games with Tony and then making sure he is okay and then also having to re-play evil Nebula from before. God, amazing.

The Nebula plot was one of the best parts of the movie. It shows how even if you make time travel easy and clean there is also a possibility of something going wrong. The fact that her past consciousness blended with her current when she went back in time was an amazing detail/idea that could only work with her. It was just so fucking fabulous.

Them going and killing Thanos literally 10 minutes in.

Natasha running point on all the Avengers stuff - keeping tabs on Rocket, Rhodey, Carol and others as they try to at least help based on what’s going on.

Oh my god, Tony losing it at all the Avengers. Amazing 10/10. “You promised!” “Liar!”. Ripping our the arc reactor and just shoving it into Steve’s hands. Fantastic. Tony deserved that moment.

The rat, the true hero

Scott/Cassie reunion after Scott finding his own name on the list of the Vanished. He was so relieved, his daughter was so relieved. Movie deities have blessed us.

Scott (while distracted by a sandwich), explaining time travel was hilarious and fantastic. He admits he doesn’t know enough.

I liked what they did with Thor. He lost absolutely everything… his entire family, all of his friends, at least 3/4 of his people. To have be a drunk who gave up and is now fat was fantastic. If anyone felt like they failed, it truly was him. He spent two years just looking for stones while the rest fought in a parking lot.

Morgan Stark!!! I better see more of her in future movies, oh my god. Adorable. Smart. Sassy. I love you 3000.

When Tony looked at that photo of Peter, I knew that was what changed his mind. Cause he knows he needs to try.

When Tony nearly falls backwards in shock at the time travel simulation working I nearly shrieked. And then of course Morgan was there. “Shit!” “No, no. (something I forget) shit.” “Shit.” “No, that’s (Pepper’s?) word.”

Pepper letting him know that its alright if he goes and tries to help. That she understands that he won’t rest if he doesn’t.

I really liked how they did the time travel stuff. It was careful and still a mess. (I’ll get to the Loki part last)

Cap V Cap, hilarious and AMAZING

Rocket and Thor sneaking past Loki while he sits in his cell. Genius. Thor knows that if Loki finds out future Thor is there, Loki is going to gladly time travel whether they like it or not.

Thor being unable to do the mission correctly because he sees his mother. That conversation with his mother where she knew it was future him. “I was raised by witches” (this will tie in to my Loki thing later)

Peter Quill getting knocked out.

Clint and Natasha. We all knew only one of them was getting out of there. Them actually fighting over who should go was amazing. I know there are complaints about how Natasha deserved better and hm, they killed the only OG female avenger. No, it was amazing. Natasha, for the first time her life, truly knew what she wanted. She was grateful for Clint til the very end. (This also ties to her dream, but I’ll explain all the AOU dreams at the end)

Loki just yeeting himself the fuck out of there when Ant-Man gave past stark a heart attack was hilarious, in-character for 2012 Loki, and VERY IMPORTANT.

Going back in time even further and Tony talking to his father, Steve seeing Peggy. It was a great section. I loved it. Tony getting closure, Steve realizing what he wants when all of this is over.

All of them losing their collective shit in different ways over Natasha death; Clint telling Thor off about how it can’t be undone, so stop being an asshole. Amazing.

Arguing over the gauntlet. Drunk Thor trying to say he can use it. Hulk using it. Thor yelling to take it off, Steve asking if Hulk is okay (this is very similar to the CA:TFA moment where Steve is getting beefed up). Amazing.

From here on, everything was fantastic, every bit. The compound being destroyed, the heroes trying to stop Thanos and all that; Steve using Thor’s hammer after his shield is half broken (and he saves Thor by using the hammer);

“Hey cap, can you hear me?” While Cap is staring down Thanos. “Uh…” “Cap, it’s me Sam. On your left” AND THEN THE PORTALS OPEN AND HOLY FUCKING SHIT. FIRST THREE ARE OKOYE, SHURI AND T’CHALLA. People were screeching in my theater, shouting “Wakanda forever”.

All those portals opening up was so hot. And then when Dr Strange opened one up and the Guardians came out that was cool and all, but Spiderman made everyone yell and holler and hoot.

VALKYRIE ON A PEGASUS HOT DAMN

Hot gauntlet instead of hot potato.

RESCUE!!! Pepper in armor, lord almighty. Amazing.

Danvers destroying all of his ships. 10/10. Like she didn’t show up and save the day, she came to help. Cap - “Danvers, we need an assist down here” once she finishes destroying the ships.

Peter getting hella beat up was reasonable. CM coming over him and he says “Oh, Im Peter Parker” “Hi, Peter Parker, you got something for me?” He hands her the gauntlet. And then asks how she is going to get through all of that. “She has help” - Okoye. All the female Avengers surround him to protect my smol child and then charge at Thanos’ army. Please love oh love, that was fantastic.

“I don’t even know you” “You will”. I swooned. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Go Scarlet Witch

When they are going at Thanos and trying to get the gauntlet off, wow. That scene was crazy good. The main 3 trying, Carol trying (and then again and when Thanos headbutts her she doesn’t move, amazing).

Tony switching the stones without Thanos noticing.

“I am inevitable” says Thanos. He snaps. It fails; he can’t create a new universe where no one remembers what they lost, only what they gained.

Tony, holds up his version of the gauntlet, “And I… am…. Iron Man.” Snap. Whole theater erupted.

All Thanos’ stuff is gone, as is he. I would have preferred Nebula to cut his head off during one of her two opportunities, but I was satisfied with this.

Rhodey finding Tony and just smiling at him. People complained that Rhodey should of said something, but Rhodey is his best friend, the person who is still alive he’s known the longest. Rhodey understands. Rhodey knows he is dying and knows no words are going to help it or stop it. He’s an Air Force colonel for crying out loud, he gets death. So he just stays there for him.

Peter begging Tony to get up and telling him “We won, we won Mr. Stark” was so heartbreaking. I loved it, but it hurt.

Pepper telling him “It’s alright, you can rest now”. That shit HURTED. Great completion of the “but will you be able to rest?”

Tony’s funeral was possibly the best scene to show just how much he meant to everyone. “Proof that Tony Stark has a heart” laying on a bed of flowers, floating in the lake in the backyard of where he and Pepper and Morgan have been living.

Wanda and Clint moment - “I just wish there was a way I could tell her we won.” “She knows, they both do” I loved it so so much.

Morgan asking for a cheeseburger and Happy getting all teary eyed about how her father loved cheeseburgers “I’m going to buy you all the cheeseburgers you want”, bruh, I was in tears.

Tony Stark’s voice over while everything else is happening - people going back to their lives: T’Challa, Shuri and Ramonda looking over Wakanda; Cassie cuddling Scott while Hope is there too; Peter and Ned seeing each other at school; Clint going home; all these different little moments while he talks, only for it to end as a video recording he made before he left to fix everything. “I love you 3000” is what he ends it with.

Thor handing over Asgard to Valkyrie while he goes with the Guardians. I loved it. He acknowledge he wasn’t fit to be king but could still do good.

Steve returning all the stones. When he and Bucky said goodbye (“It’s only five seconds”) they both knew what he was about to do. “Don’t do anything stupid til I get back.” Bucky smiles, “How can I? You’re taking all the stupid with you.”

Sam and Professor Hulk freaking out that he isn’t back, only for Bucky to point out Steve sitting on a bench near where they are. He’s old now. He hands the shield off to Sam. I loved it. There is no way Bucky and Steve didn’t have a conversation about Steve staying in the past and who he would pass the mantel on to. (this also means Bucky probably told Steve’s ass that trying to save him/prevent HYDRA would have created a disastrous effect. “I’ll be alright, punk” or something like that).

Seeing Steve with Peggy made me really, really happy. I understand the complaints but it was a beautiful moment and such an amazing way to end the movie. If you watched Agent Carter you know she struggled getting over Steve. While she did eventually, she never stopped thinking about him. I mean, in the 70s, his photo was still on her desk!

Things I forgot to add originally:

“So you can get another haircut?” (or something like that); AKA Rocket making fun of Carol’s lesbian cut.

Professor Hulk. Hilarious, amazing, and a great idea.

“That’s America’s Ass” oh my god, Tony Steve and Scott. Best comedy trio.

Extended NY 2012 scenes... including Loki pretending to be Steve, amazing

the Budapest reference while Nat and Clint were flying off to Vormir. I loved it.

Thor suddenly in his old costume with braids in his beard and hair when they go to beat up Thanos when he attacks the compound. Crowd went crazy.

EVEN MORE I forgot:

The OG shot from the OG Avengers in NY. Hot hot hot. The crowd was losing it. I was losing it.

“Hail Hydra” cap you sneaky bastard.

Scott’s storage unit is labeled 616. MCU really loves hiding 616 in plain sight.

—

Okay, now for the AoU dreams.

They all came true.

Thor: “See where your power leads us Odinson” and Heimdall talks about how they are going to be lead to Hel. More than half of Asgard was destroyed by Hela.

Steve: The movie ends with him dancing with Peggy.

Natasha: hers was more of a flashback, but still came true. “I have no place in this world”. Her dream sequence showed the horrors she endured and how she tried to seem weak so she wouldn’t have to do certain things. It shows how she has always felt like she has no home, it showed faceless children with no identity. Her dying was her finding her place in the world.

Tony: Everyone is dead except him. “And the worst part is you weren’t”. He reversed his dream. It came true (it wasn’t the OG6 who died) but then he spun it around.

—

other time travel stuff:

At one point there are two Steve’s since he decided to go back. At first I was like, thats gonna create some problems but the more I think the more I realize it doesn’t. Peggy is smart, genius and an amazing agent and could have easily found a way to ‘hide’ Captain America.

Also, most things stopped functioning after the decimation. A lot of schools were shut down most likely. So Ned and Peter to see each other again at school was reasonable.

Loki:

I LOVE WHAT THEY DID WITH LOKI. In the movie it shows at least two iterations of him alive: 2012 Loki who gets the fuck out of there; 2013 Loki stuck in prison. Both are alive by the end of the movie (2013 didn’t disappear even though 2012 noped out of there). Even though Steve put the stones back to make the timelines clean again, they show that even though one version of Loki left New York, he still ended up in Asgard’s prison. So one is out there with the Space Stone, and one is posing as Odin. Then, when time catches up, it’s unlikely Ragnarok Loki will just die spontaneously. Regardless, there are at least two Lokis still existing within the current timeline. He’s smarter than letting himself get stuck once he escapes, but he still gets locked up.

If there are two versions of Steve living for a time, why not two or more Lokis?

This brings me back to Frigga. She knew it was definitely Thor from the future almost immediately. Loki is much like his mother and knows that time travel is possible and that people have crossed timelines. There is no reason for him to not be out there in the universe, several different versions of him working at once. And there is no reason for him to not know that.

“The sun will shine on us again”, something tells me Loki knew some version of himself would survive. Whether it be 2012, 2013, or even now 2018, he knew he was going to make it… or he already knew he had.

I don’t know what is going to happen. I’m sure the Russos wrote the Loki getting out of there thing as a joke/plot inconvenience but Feige is smarter than that. He knows what that opened up, and honestly, that might be why the Loki show isn’t going to come out for a while. Imagine having a great idea only for the most recent movie to come along and have multiple Loki’s still alive.

Even better, I hope he has a small scene in the next Guardians movie. Thor could try to sway them towards looking for his brother and maybe they do - but it’s NY Loki.

Spoilers Ridden Endgame Review

Alright Avengers, it’s time to get down to my completely full of spoilers review of Endgame. (If you want a non-spoiler review, go here). All spoilers are under the cut. AGAIN, this has spoilers...spoilers...spoilers...spoilers!!! If y’all read this then complain about it spoiling the movie...I have nothing to say to you. Anyways, enjoy! And please, feel free to message me if you want to chat about it!

So I am pretty sure that I have this in order…but I’ve only seen it the one time and there was a lot of information coming at me. Also…sorry, it’s long:

- The very beginning with Clint’s family just killed me – way to freaking start by reminding us of the horrible things that you did to our beloved heroes.

- I struggled with Tony’s response to Steve at the beginning, but felt it was rather justified after everything that he had been through (….I did love how later on when Steve, Nat, and Scott show up he tells them they can stay for dinner if they don’t talk shop – they are still part of his family).

- I went for the head.

- Nat working so hard to keep everything together killed me – these people are what she has left to live for and she cares for them so deeply.

- “I get emails from a raccoon.”

- Tony Stark. Officially Iron Dad. My bleeding heart.

- Bruce and The Hulk…nothing left to say.

- I LOVED seeing Valkyrie in the village – I know Thor says it at the end, but you can just tell that she does a great deal to help keep the village running.

- America’s ass – can we say a giant nod to the fandom??? Also, THANK YOU and BLESS!

- “Hail Hydra” – to me this felt like a giant middle finger to when Captain said it in the comic book and I fucking loved it!

- It was fun to watch all of the scenes from the other movies with a different perspective.

- Loki will always be Loki – no matter what time line he is in.

- Thor getting to talk with his mother again was beautiful (also him stealing his hammer was great).

- Nat dying. Okay. Let’s talk about this. Like I said before, Nat cares for these people and they are what she has left to live for. Like Steve said in the movie, the Avengers were her family – dying to give them a chance to live and save everyone was exactly what she wanted to do. Also, Clint was her best friend – you show me best friend duos like Nat and Clint who aren’t willing to die for each other. While Nat knew that she had a family that loved her, she knew that Clint had a wife and three children that needed him to be there for them…she knew what she was doing…don’t downgrade or disregard Nat’s choice to die for her family just because you didn’t like it.

- When Tony saw his dad and got to give him a hug and then Steve getting to see Peggy but not saying anything to her…OH MY GOSH THE FEELS!!!!

- Bruce/Hulk knowing that they needed to wield the gauntlet…just the fact that they were like, yup, this is what I was made to do and I am going to do it because I can

- The whole scene when the Avenger’s base was getting blown up had me holding my breath the whole time trying to figure out what the hell was going to happen.

- STEVE FUCKING ROGERS IS WORTHY!!!! Like damn! I am beyond pleased that they included that in the movie – it was amazing! And honestly, didn’t you all already know that?

- The giant reveal that everyone was back and they were ALL going to fight – like that was the most epic heroes’ entrance ever and we will probably never get to see another one like it again.

- I LOVED PEPPER IN THE SUIT THAT TONY MADE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Badass ladies coming to kick butt and help Carol get the gauntlet to the “time machine” is what I am so here for!!!

- I. Am. Iron Man. *sobs for an eternity over the pureness that is Tony Stark*

- On the note, I HATE that Tony died, but I also feel it was so appropriate for his character – he has been the heart of the Avengers since the first movie and it felt so right for him to be the one to save everyone (after all of the amazing sciencey things that he had done in the first place to save everyone).

- I was glad to see Harley at the funeral. He and Tony really did have a great connection in Iron Man 3 – it’s my own personal head canon that they still talked over the years, Tony checking up on him to make sure things were going okay.

- “You’re taking all the stupid with you.”

- I’ve been hearing that everyone is pissed about Steve staying in the past…like dude. Peggy Carter was the fucking love of his life. LOVE OF HIS LIFE!!! And once you find that you never want to let go. Steve had to do that once before and now that he was getting a second chance he was going to take it. And you know what? Good for him. Steve Rogers finally found himself someone to fondue with.

- I heard people complaining that they couldn’t believe that Steve “left” Bucky…Bucky had started to make his own life in Wakanda and he would never have wanted Steve to give up a second chance with Peggy just to “babysit” his old ass.

- As for him handing off his shield to Sam? I LOVED that too. Sam has proven himself time and time again that he was trust worthy, loyal, and dedicated – he is ready. Bucky, while starting to make a life for himself, is still getting a handle on things…let the poor man rest guys.

- And to wrap it all up, I just loved all of the little nods to the past movies and prominent lines that were said in them. I have invested and dedicated so much time (more than I should have) to loving these characters and in my opinion each character was honored in the way they deserved within the plot line that was presented (don’t get me wrong, I still wish Nat and Tony could come back, but alas that is what we have fanfiction for!).

So We Meet Again

A/N: Okay, this is probably my worst piece ever. I have no idea what happened at the end or anywhere in this disaster. This is just rubbish, but I said I would do the Halloween challenge for @loki-the-fox. So here it is, and I am so sorry you had to read this curse. I hope it’s good enough, though. Prompt was “What the hell was that thing?!”.

Warnings: Mentions of abuse, rape and alcoholism. If there need to be any other warnings like my horrible writing, then please let me know.

Word Count: 2 021

Blurb: “What the hell was that thing?!” Was not what (Y/N) expected to hear when she felt the pull of her summoning medallion. It had been eons since she left her previous master and moved to Midgard, but now she was being summoned by someone else, and right in the middle of trick-or-treating as well! Now she’s stuck in a battle between the greatest heroes of Earth and… cryptids or mythical monsters? Well, it is Hallowe’en after all.

*DISCLAIMER: I DON’T OWN ANYTHING IN THIS BUT THE PLOT*

“What the hell was that thing?!” Loki yelled at Captain America, who was throwing his shield at a yeti.

“I think that was the Loch Ness Monster! EXCEPT IT’S FLYING?!” His tone took a slightly hysterical note as the Loch Ness monster swooped down and barrelled into the Hulk, who had been released for some while by now.

And the only reason that Loki was still here, was because he could feel ancient magic coming from somewhere in the Temple of the Cryptids, which the Avengers were currently investigating for S.H.I.E.L.D. and he wanted that power.

His eyes swept the empty pedestals, and the floor which had been littered with traps when his eyes caught on something glimmering in the darkness.

A vampire launched itself at Loki, and Loki immediately summoned a stake and speared him through the heart. He was well-versed in the myths of the Midgardians, and now those myths were real. Over there fighting Iron Man was a cyclops, behind him he could hear Thor fighting the flying Loch Ness monster with the Hulk. Captain America and the Winter Soldier were fighting the yeti and that left the two spies, who were just shooting at the rogue, human-shaped werewolves and vampires, as well as the Fae and the small faeries which Loki had destroyed by simply crushing them in an overwhelming wave of magic. Flooding your system with magic was not a fun thing to do.

He reached for the medallion, a small silver disk with cat ears and whiskers etched into it, and when he took a closer look, the lines were made of miniscule words in some forgotten language. The magic was coming from it.

He felt his own Seidr respond and let his Seidr do the work, filling the small grooves in the medallion, and a shiver went up his spine as he felt the peculiar feeling of mind-bonding. Not as powerful as soul-bonding, but nearly.

“Master, you called?” A small, female voice asked, and he turned around to see a small Midgardian, around 16 to 18 years old, around his age, had he been a Midgardian, bowing with her head down and undoubtedly female. She was wearing a black cat onesie Loki noted dazedly as a vampire tried to bite him in the neck.

“And what are you?” He asked, quickly flipping he vampire over his shoulder and stabbing it with a wooden stake through the chest.

“I am a spirit. I have been living on Midgard ever since I escaped my previous master.” She looked up and his breath hitched at her piercing (E/C) eyes. They were definitely cold, calculating and dissecting his soul before him. “As you can see, I was just trick-or-treating.” The spirit either hadn’t acknowledged the fight or weren’t paying attention, because she was offering sweets to him.

“Can you fight?” Loki asked, glancing around, and (Y/N) laughed.

“Of course I can. I am a spirit of death and battle, myself and my followers were known as the best spies and assassins of our world.” (Y/N)’s smile took a vicious turn, and the onesie rippled, revealing black, silver and green armour, but she took one look at Loki’s armour and the silver changed to gold. Her armour wasn’t too different from the Valkyries, but there was a sigil on her chest that Loki didn’t understand, but it emanated power.

Within minutes, (Y/N) had taken down the cryptids, much to the surprise and amusement of the Avengers, when she managed to find the weak spots and knew all the weaknesses of the creatures.

“How did you do that?” Captain America came over, huffing and puffing.

“I told you, I am the leader of many assassins and spies, we know everything about everything.” (Y/N) shrugged. “You’re not safe as long as you’re living. That and I’ve had to deal with these creatures before.”

“And who are these spies?” The red-haired Black Widow asked, crossing her arms across her chest.

“That would be telling.” (Y/N) Gave her a mischievous smirk and turned to Loki, kneeling and bowing her head. “My lord, I am now in your care and your command. I pledge my life to protecting and serving you and your family, or chosen family. My servants, followers and magic will be yours to exploit, and my body to be used as your weapon as you choose. I am yours completely, until the day I reject your orders. Accept my pledge of fidelity and loyalty.”

“I accept.” Loki responded in turn, almost immediately before any of the team could object. (Y/N) stood up and smirked, her clothes returning to her trick-or-treating outfit.

“You found her, brother!” Thor exclaimed jovially, clapping a grimacing Loki on the back. “(Y/N) has been lost for a millennium, she was our servant once, but she disappeared one day. Do you not remember?”

Then it hit both (Y/N) and Loki at the same time. The strange familiarity of the magic in the medallion could be found in (Y/N), no wonder Loki stayed around after the Hulk was released. The easy way that (Y/N) could seemingly trust her new master, she had known him before.

“How are you the one that remembers?” (Y/N) asked, poking Thor in the side, and he rolled his eyes.

“Because I remember thinking you two would look good together as a couple.” He said bluntly, before turning to his friends, leaving a blushing (Y/N) and a flustered Loki to sort out their emotions.

“Did he just-”

“I think he did.” Loki cut (Y/N) off and stepped closer to her. The little, orange, plastic bucket fell to the ground as Loki hugged (Y/N). “It’s good to have you back.” (Y/N) smiled, and wrapped her arms around him, settling into his embrace. “But now that I have your medallion, I guess I’ll be summoning you a lot more.” He gave her a devilish smirk that melted her insides, not that anyone would ever find out.

“Well, Master Loki, I should be heading back to finish my Halloween celebrations.”

“Let me come with you.” He shot a disdainful look at the Avengers. “I need a reason to leave before the decide that it would be better to lock me away than let me help out.” (Y/N) laughed and nodded.

“Now then, let’s go.” She placed a small kiss on his cheek and disappeared in a flurry of green, gold and black flower petals, taking Loki with her.

Loki got lots of compliments on his very accurate (and very real) costume, and (Y/N) showed him the small things the Midgardians did on the 31st of October.

“So where do you live?” Loki asked at the end of the night, and (Y/N) gave him a rueful smile, bopping him on the nose.

“With my friends, silly.” (Y/N) turned around, and led him into a dark alley. She placed the bucket down and a green shimmer starting from her feet climbed up her body and she turned into a cat before Loki’s eyes. He looked surprised for a second, and then grinned, turning into a cat himself.

(Y/N) wasn’t surprised, instead she just turned around, lifting the bucket with her magic and loped off at a leisurely pace, making sure that Loki was handling himself well enough in his new body, and he caught on pretty quickly, they turned a corner and found an emptied and cleaned dumpster with six other cats in it. (Y/N) turned back into a human and placed the bucket inside, turning around to see a human Loki.

Loki pulled her in and trapped her between his arms and the wall.

“Oh, what is this? The cold and distant younger prince of Asgard is showing emotions?” (Y/N) joked, and Loki rolled his eyes, glancing down at her lips. She parted them slightly in acknowledgement and leaned upwards to kiss him.

(Y/N) was hesitant, this was her first real, romantic, consensual kiss, and Loki had obviously had experience (I mean, who can resist him?), but Loki took it slowly, his hands at her hips. (Y/N) didn’t notice as her arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him closer, but she noticed his cool hands moving to her back and holding her as close as possible.

“Hey! Keep the PDA to a minimum!” A young, male voice called up, and they broke away, panting and gazing at each other. There was a gagging noise, and (Y/N) laughed.

“Sorry Vyrn.” (Y/N) gave her younger friend a lopsided smile. “This is Loki, my new master.”

“My apologies, my Lord!” Vyrn squeaked and dropped to his knees. Loki shifted and stiffened in her hold and she ran her hands through his hair, knowing that he used to love it and it calmed him down when she played with his hair as they both read. Loki eventually relaxed long enough to tell Vyrn to stand up and go inside so that they could resume their activity.

Loki had, at this point, lifted her legs up to his hips where she wrapped them around his lithe form and pulled herself up as he pressed her against the wall. His lips moved to her neck and she gasped as they worked at her pulse, nipping, biting, and definitely going to leave a mark.

Vyrn once again interrupted them with all the gathered things, hovering behind him about an hour later. “If you’re done making out, Princess and my Lord, we really must be going.” Vyrn flinched then Loki pulled away and readjusted himself.

When Vyrn was only a kitten, and (Y/N) was just starting to serve masters, they had their first, abusive, alcoholic master, who would literally rape them in any form (cat, human, hybrid, you name it) and beat them if they so much uttered a word. (Y/N) regretted allowing her followers to make an appearance when she first met him, and could only hope that Loki wouldn’t treat her family so callously.

“I guess I’ll have to see you guys later.” He said casually, nodding at Vyrn in a casual manner, and then lifting (Y/N)’s hand to his lips, pressing a kiss onto her knuckles. (Y/N) shook her head at his casual manner and turned to Vyrn.

“Let’s go, buddy.”

“Don’t get too attached.” He told her cautiously, and (Y/N) ruffled his hair.

“Don’t worry about Loki, he’s a Prince of Asgard, he should be raised well enough to dump me in a way to leave us both with dignity.”

“He’s the god of trickery and lies.” Vyrn replied sourly, and (Y/N) rolled her eyes.

“Since when have you been so defensive?” Vyrn sighed and grabbed the corner of her shirt but said nothing as (Y/N) teleported him, their stuff and their family of kittens, cats and hybrids to their new home.

The bodies of the defeated cryptids had long since disappeared into golden mist and the mist had just stared to roll out, giving the whole place a mysterious aura.

“Don’t worry, everything will work out with us, and maybe you won’t be so scared of love anymore.” (Y/N) held Vyrn close and kissed the top of his head. “Don’t worry, little brother.”

Vyrn sighed, and relaxed into her hold. “It’s just that I feel like I’m going to lose you.”

“Lose me?”

“To love, to him, to all your emotions and thoughts again.” Vyrn pulled out of her arms and turned to face her. “You disappeared for two hundred years! I can’t survive it if you disappear again!” He was referencing the time that they escaped their master, left Asgard and erased their ow existence to those they loved the most. Loki had been almost like Vyrn’s older brother; Thor had practically adopted their (dysfunctional) family. (Y/N) would never admit it, but she did disappear. She died. She left her body for two hundred years, floating aimlessly like a ghost wherever she went because she couldn’t let it go. Vyrn was right. And she would never be weak like that again.

“I won’t disappear again. I know how far to let someone in. I promise you, I will never disappear again.” (Y/N) whispered. “The first time was my last time.”

SPOILERS digest #4

:) You know the drill folks... behind the cut be spoilers. (Oh and in my liked posts as well. Idk why you would be looking at them, but just in case!)

the anon who wrote in multiple messages with actual spoilers is right, that’s pretty much everything that happens concerning bucky. the last scene is peggy and steve dancing in 1940, and while i love hayley and chris it was so awkward, i got staron vibes, just felt out of place. but yeah cap really got a shitty arc and i my stucky feelings aside i don’t think he would leave behind bucky, sam, everyone who counted on him as cap while they reeled with the loss of nat and tony. very ooc. RS- agreed. Even minus Bucky, leaving his team behind seems very ooc to me as well.

Sam and Bucky had very minimal but sweet interactions which is a nice setup for the sambucky show, imo. During Tony’s funeral all the characters are gathered around a lake and Sam comforts Bucky kinda patting/rubbing his back (which idk why but it was cute), and when old Cap appears Bucky and Sam start to approach then Bucky stops and tells Sam to ‘go ahead’ when old Cap hands Sam the shield he looks back at Bucky who nods his approval before he takes it. Thought those were nice moments. RS- good! I’m very looking forward to their show.

Just saw endgame. Went to read your spoiler digest. I don't agree, my feeling was that Steve felt reunited with Buck, he got him back at the WS movie, and then again when he returned from dust. Bucky was in his life and he knew that that wouldn't change once he got back from the stones. So Steve decided to take his time with Peggy. He got the best of both worlds, and by the way he and buck said goodbye I with that they both agreed that it was the best thing to do. RS- I’m glad that you’re satisfied with the ending! :)

I just got back from Endgame, people are overreacting, some have not even seen and are repeating what others are saying. Hulk says in the movie that by traveling to the past our present becomes our past. When Steve decided to stick with peggy, the his present became his past. Ancient One will tell the Hulk that by removing the stones, this opens up alternative realities. So Steve went to another reality, he did not erase Peggy's husband and children. Part 1 Even if he had defeated Hydra on his return, this would not stop Bucky from teh present suffering from torture, this is explained when the Nebula kills the Nebula of the past. The current Nebula remains alive. Steve is not selfish, he also did not abandon Bucky. Bucky lets him go and be happy. Watch the movie for yourself, there are great moments, the movie is good. Part 2

The Hydra cap scene is because he needs to pick up the tesseract that is with Rumlow, so he tells that bald guy that he needs the bag. they would start a fight in the elevator, to stop it from happening, he says hail hydra. It is played with humor and he needed to get the tesseract that Tony had lost.

The Russo brothers are getting undeserved praise for having an openly gay minor character in Endgame, when they could have easily shown that representation with one of the actual superheroes. Valkyrie is canonically bi, imagine how amazing that would be for so many fans who do identify as lgbtq. And on top of that they baited and then denied fans who do ship stucky the opportunity to interpret Steve’s ending how they want. I’m so disappointed.

Really bummed out Bucky doesn’t end up with the shield. They hinted at the shield being pass down to Bucky throughout the films. Does he stay as the Winter Soldier? What is this whole White Wolf thing? Does Seb still have that 9 picture deal? I dunno. Just think Bucky deserves more. RS- yeah :/

Ok so screw the comics. They made it out to be steve grew old made a life and is married to Peggie due to the ring on his finger. And Wtf Bucky nod and was ok with Steve handing Falcon /Sam the shield 🛡. This is insane. I now truly believe the rumors that Chris Evans actually block Seb from getting the Shied. The Russo are great however they have completely fucked it up when it comes to the ark of Capt America and passing of the shield 🛡 so disappointed. Great movie but no!!! Just wrong. RS- there’s no way Chris would do that or has the power to do that. Don’t start believing conspiracy theories hun.

Best friends since childhood, Bucky Barnes and Steven Rogers were inseparable on both schoolyard and battlefield... the Entire Captain America revolved around the friendship of these two and how steve fought to get him back etc for the end Steve to leave bucky behind and cap America become selfish over Peggie who he barley knew and had a crush on and. Create a life with her to grow old. It makes no sense. Not to mention to hand over the shield to falcon and have Bucky nod in approval. Wtf!

Please, can you post (with spoiler alert read more cut), how many screentime has Seb? And what do you think about his performace, arc, etc. Thanks! RS- I haven’t seen the movie.

Do you think that anything changed that Bucky/Seb didn't take up the shield and Sam/Anthony did? I always thought it was going to go to Bucky, and I am happy that Sam has it - he deserves it and I'm so happy for Anthony Mackie, too - but it still surprised me. I'll be glad to see Seb being able to do much more various work now. I wonder if he's sad though. It always seemed like he wanted the shield and my <3 is sad for Seb that he didn't get it. RS- there was always the chance it would go to Falcon because it happens in some of the comics. I don’t mind as long as Seb gets a good meaty character arc with Bucky. ... but with what happened to Cap... I don’t trust Marvel with that anymore.

Fans are really not happy about Endgame. RS- lol. Short and to the point.

BIRTHDAY PARTY

In response to @thejokersenigma writing challenge to celebrate her much deserved 1000+ followers !

I hope the characters are not (too) ooc and please excuse my English as it is not my native language. I tend to mix both US and UK >< so sorry !

[WARNINGS] : None

Summary :You are hosting a birthday party for Thor at your place. And while your guests (Avengers & Asgardians alike) are enjoying themselves, Loki takes you away from the gathering and asked you for a favor.

“You did good, kid.” said Tony Stark going out of your kitchen, licking a spoon full of chocolate.

“What were you doing back there?” You asked him sternly.

“Nothing.” He quickly answered, hiding the evidence of his crime behind his back.

You decided to let it go because you knew, nothing in the world would come between Tony Stark and food. Thankfully, you had made more than one cake, otherwise he would have tasted your wrath more than your impeccable recipe.

“That’s more than enough Peter, thank you.” You called to the teenage boy hanging a colorful banner across your living room.

“What about the piñata ?” He asked you, slowly sliding from the ceiling, upside down.

“You bought a piñata?” shouted Tony from the kitchen, back to the scene of the crime.

“Wemadea piñata.” answered Peter with a proud smile. “You wanna see it Mr Stark ?”

“You betcha !”

The man promptly burst out of the kitchen, another spoon full of chocolate dough. And followed the boy to the balcony outside.

“Hey [Y/N] ? Where do you want these ?” said Natasha Romanov from your entryway.

You turned around and see the spy carrying a massive wooden crate full of bottles. You pointed the bar you had installed near a brick wall.

“Do you need a hand ?” you asked concerned about the heavy weight.

“I wouldn’t mind !” declared another voice.

Clint Barton followed by Steve Roger and Saw Wilson, was struggling with his load. Before you could make a step, Peter Parker bursted into the living room.

“Lemme help.”

“Uh uh no way, get outta of here kid.” said Barton turning around in order to avoid Peter touching the bottles.

“Come on, I just want to help.”

But Barton wouldn’t let him anywhere near alcohol, too aware of Stark’s protective behavior towards the boy.

“Would you look at that !” exclaimed Tony holding the piñata shaped to look like Mjlonir, Thor’s hammer.

“Ain’t she a beauty ?” said Steve with an amused smirk. “Where do you want the rest ?” he gently asked you.

“The kitchen will be fine. Thank you.” you answered.

Clint managed to escaped Peter, moving swiftly to the side, like a football player. Tony raised an eyebrow while contemplating the massive amount of liquor brought in by the three men and Natasha.

“You have outdone yourself Romanov.”

Before she could answer, a huge clunk shook the walls of your Queens apartment, followed by a loud growl.

“Hulk, stuck.” complained the green giant, folded in your entryway.

He too, was carrying his share of wooden crates. But instead of one or two, like the others had, he hold a dozen of them.

“OK — now you’ve outdone yourself.” Tony said to Romanov.

The red haired woman grinned.

“Well, we all have seen how Thor parties. It’s the least I could do.” she winked at you.

Not only could the god of thunder hold his liquor, but it seemed that earthling alcohol could never quite do the trick. It was nothing compared to Asgardians drinks, you imagined. And that was why, you let Natasha in charge of finding the best and finest spirits on Earth.

As you and the others, except Peter who was banned from even thinking about alcohol, helped the Hulk, you looked at your place. It was warm and cosy, with cushions thrown all over the sofa and the soft carpet on the floor. It smelled of the cakes and cookies you’ve been baking all afternoon.

Peter had arranged fairy lights inside and out of the apartment, while you set the long diner table. You went for a light white and golden theme,placing candles here and there.

It was no Stark tower, you thought, remembering all the parties you went to there. But Tony’s place as great and big as it was, lacked a little something. To celebrate your friend’s special day, you went for a homely feel. Even if it meant a crowded place when all the guests would have arrived.

When Bruce Banner came back, you handed him a blanket, and showed him the bathroom where a fresh stack of clothes awaited. Then, you walked back to the kitchen, only to find, Tony studying one of your baked cakes.

“Would you get out of here?” you reprimanded him.

“I was just admiring.” he said raising his hands in the air, in false innocence.

From the living room you could hear Peter telling the other Avengers what to do and how to do it. You chose him to be your assistant not only because you liked this goofy teenager, but because his eagerness to please had simply the better of you.

“So ! That’s quite a party you planned kid.”

“Yup.” you answered, focused on your baking.

He strolled around the crates on the floor, taking a measure of what was about to come.

“Do you think you had enough?”

You honestly couldn’t tell if his question was rhetorical or not. You shrugged, your hands full of cookie dough.

“Well, I also invited Sif and Brunhilde so…”

“Say no more.” Tony answered with a raised hand. “Wait! Did you…did you invited Antlers too?”

Your heart skipped a beat at the mention of Loki’s infamous nickname, but decided to ignore it. Of course you had extended an invitation to Thor’s brother.

“I don’t know kid.” Tony mumbled. “I don’t like him ambling around here.”

“You don’t like him, period.” you answered a bit coldly. “And I thought it would do him some good.” you finally add, not clarifying whom you were referring to.

“You’re too nice, for you own good, kid.” he replied before leaving the kitchen to monitor the final settings of the party.

As expected, your apartment was crowded. Full of Avengers and Asgardians getting along just fine. You could not help but feel proud of yourself as you watched everyone having a good time. Being the host of the party, meant you could not quite enjoy it though.

You made sure there was food at all times and kept a close eye on the booze. You did not want anyone getting wasted before the big dinner.

“That is a splendid feast you thrown me [Y/N] !” claimed Thor in his loud and jovial voice. “Maybe you could help me about something.” he said looming over you, placing his friendly arm around your shoulders.

“Shoot.” you encouraged him gladly.

“I heard talks and whispers about a fight of some sort. Against something called a pintata ?”

“Piñata,” you corrected him, feeling your cheeks burn. “It is not a– a fight, per say. But beating is involved, yes. Wh…who is talking about it exactly ?”

“Who’s not talking about it, you mean !” he bursted.

Thor clapped his massive hand on your back, making you cough upon the blow.

“Was s’pose to be a surprise…” you muttered between your teeth. As he left you to join the others, something caught your attention near the bar. There, you spotted the valkyrie, carelessly handing a glass to young Peter Parker. You raced through the crowd, and at the last second, snatched the glass from Peter’s hand and drank the whole thing down.

The beverage barely touched your lips and yet it burned them, firing its way down your throat. Your eyes watered and you seemed to have forgotten how to breath.

“You’re quite the party animal, aren’t you !” guffawed the Asgardian, holding tight a half-full bottle of liquor.

You raised a finger to her, ready to lecture her about earth rule as not to give any strong beverage to a minor, but you could barely speak, your stomach burning like hell fire. Instead, you turned to Peter, the glass still in your grip.

“I didn’t do anything.” he said raising his hands.

“Just…Stark…” was all you could say at the moment.

You watch as the teenage boy ran away from the bar. Finally air seemed to have find a way back to your lungs. You swipe out the tears at the corner of your eyes and turned back to the valkyrie who was opening another bottle all for herself. She grinned at you.

“T’shit…too strong…for (you scarcely hold a burp back) him.”

“As it is for you as well.” answered drawled voice behind you.

First, you saw a pale white hand reaching the glass you still hold in yours. Then, you felt the brushing of his cool fingers upon your skin as he took it away. Your eyes followed up and landed of Loki’s green ones, his face crossed with a devilish smile. Without breaking eye contact with you, he poured himself a drink, and began to slowly savor it.

“Refreshing.” he purred with a cocky grin.

“Show off.” you answered to his provocation, hardly hiding your amused smile. “Glad you could come.” you said, your throat still burning. Loki nodded and bowed his head.

“You have better taste in spirits than I ever thought you would.” he said raising, now, his glass to you.

“Did you know there will be fighting too ?” announced Valkyrie. Loki raised an interested eyebrow while you buried your head in your shoulder.

“I don’t know what a piñata is,” she added “but I can wait to see Thor fight another force of nature. It’s like we’re back on Sakaar!” she laughed before taking a long gulp of drink.

Loki shivered.

“A force of ? No, it’s just a – urgh… forget about it.” you gave up and soon went to check upon the other guests.

You had found a place to sit, next to Natasha on your living room small bench. Thor, surrounded by Sif and Steveon the sofa, was telling a story about a battle the three of them fought not long ago. Everyone in earshot was hooked to his epic tale, except for Valkyrie and Sam Wilson who had heard the story a thousand times already, and found themselves partners in booze at the bar. Even though you have heard it as soon as he returned to Earth, you listened to Thor’s story as well as the others.

Piles of presents took up too much space on the diner table, but you did not mind. On the contrary, you were glad to see your friend being that spoiled and you could not wait for him to open yours. Out of the blue, you sensed something strange. Overcome with a feeling that someone was behind you. A dark presence getting closer and closer to your back.

Right before, you turned your head to check above your shoulders, Loki leant forward, his long dark hair touching slightly the bare skin of your neck.

His cold breath smelled of the spirits he had drunk, was enticing to say the least. Your skin crawled as he whispered to your ear.

“Which one is yours?”

You swallowed with difficulty. Your lips were surprisingly dry and your tongue heavy in your mouth. Yet, you managed to answer him, your eyes flickering to his – way – too close lips. Your gift was the square one, with the silver paper carefully wrapped around it.

“Are you…satisfied with it?” he then ask, seemingly closer than before.

You couldn’t help yourself, and closed your eyes, feeling the overwhelming presence of Loki’s tensed and lean body just an inch away from yours.

You would have shrugged your shoulders but you did not dare move more than just a slight, so you nodded, unable to speak either.

Without warning, Loki put his hand on the small of your back and whispered in a husk and yet urgent voice: “come with me.” Your skin crawled so much at his touch, that you suspected it to want to go away altogether. As he broke contact, you caught a breath.

He did not wait for you, and swiftly went out of the room, raising no one’s attention. But when you got up, it was another story.

“You okay sweety?” asked Natasha looking concerned.

“Oh yeah!” you answered dismissing her concern with a wave of your hand “a host’s work is never done.”

You excused yourself and smiled your way out of the living room and walked as naturally as you could to the kitchen. You looked around you, not seeing Loki anywhere. Where was he? Moreover, why did you followed him so blindly?

Loki hissed, calling your attention. He was standing in the dark corridor, waiting for you to come along. As you approached he quickly grabbed a hold of your bare forearm and led you to the bathroom. Once the both of you inside, he closed the door and turn the key in the locket.

Your heart pounded in your chest, felt the sweat from your pores as you tried to wrap your mind around what was going on. By now, you got used to Loki’s presence. You even, hanged out quite a bit. But always in a casual atmosphere, with a lot of space around you. You realized, that until now, the two of you had never been left alone with each other.

The proximity of the god in your tiny bathroom, where only a small bathtub, a sink and the toilets were enough to fill most of it, made you nervous. Nevertheless, you were determined to act as usual, and stopped being – what? Afraid? mesmerized maybe?

“Care to tell me why you just pulled me into a room and locked the door?” you gestured towards the handle.

“I must require your help.” Loki answered in a hushed voice.

“You have weird way of asking for it.” you said crossing your arms on your chest. “What do you want from me?”

For a quick second you could have sworn Loki eyed you greedily, but as you studied his face, there was nothing but seriousness.

“It is of the upmost importance that you do agree.” he warned you.

“I can’t if you don’t tell me what is it first!” you exclaimed impatiently.

His eyes couldn’t stay in one place, which was not like him. When he chose to focus his gaze on you, you did not blush. You were too annoyed for that.

“Everyone has brought one.” he muttered in admittance.

You scrunched up your nose, not understanding what he was saying when it hit you like a truck. Your eyes widened and a mocking grin ran across your face.

“You forgot about it, didn’t you? You forgot your brother’s birthday!” you laughed.

“Would you please lower your voice?” he hushed.

“You’re a bad brother!” you mocked.

“I am well aware of that, thank you.” he said looking genuinely hurt.

A laugh died in your throat as you looked at him. He looked at you, practically begging for your help without saying anything. How did he do that? You wondered. How could he go from merciless killer vibe to cinnamon roll in need for a hug in an instant?

He stood tall, but somehow fragile. As his long body against the door, blocking the only way out, you felt powerless. You studied his face a little while longer, looking for something – anything – that might tell you it was a bad idea.

“Fine.” you sighed. “What d’you have in mind Dory?”

“Well – I was thinking we could pretend your present was in fact, my present. So I have something to give my brother.” he flashed a smile, back to his confident, pretentious self.

“Oh hell no!” you screamed appalled.

“Why not?” he asked genuinely surprised you did not immediately agreed with his idea.

“He’ll think that I forgot his birthday!”

“He will not.” dismissed Loki “You are the reason we are all gathered here, are you not?”

It was true and you were aware of it. Nonetheless, you were the kind of person to go out of your depth for loved ones. It meant nice gestures as well as gifts and parties.

Loki saw the scowl on your face and left his spot against the door to take a step towards you.

“Better you than me.” he whispered, fully aware of the effect he had had on you earlier.

“You mean to throw me under the bus.” you turned your head and stare at him.

You hold his intense, almost burning, gaze. Yes, you were willing to make an effort, as you knew the god of mischief had a hard time adjusting to life on Earth since Thor brought him back. Even though you were more than glad to see two brothers grew closer there was a limit, Loki was dangerously close to cross. And you would not let him get away with it.

“I assure you.” he simpered “My brother holds you in high regard. You will hardly disappoint him.” he paused “Unlike me.”

Here it was again, the flash of hurt feelings in his eyes. His jaws were clenched in a cold bitterness, and as he let a heavy breath out, he asked you, almost implored you if you would do it for him.

“Why? I mean why did you pick me over” you paused, thinking “Tony or Steve? They’ve know Thor for a longer time than I have. Hell, why didn’t you ask Sif? She is obviously the one to go to.”

“Because you have taste.”

“Don’t lie to me.” you immediately answered smacking his arm with the back of your hand.

Loki tittered a bit. By now, he was accustomed to your habit of smacking people who annoyed you. Sometimes, it seemed that he was purposefully provoked you, as you often found yourself clapping him on his arms or shoulders. He smiled again, briefly, but you caught it anyway.

“Because you are my brother’s friend. Even more so, you are mine.”

His? Your brain froze for a moment where his voice echoed, low, almost like a seducing growl.

“And I am surely not their friend.” he smirked.

“Friends don’t steal from one another.” you reminded him.

“I had no intention to steal from you.” he assured you, taking another step closer to you. “But now that you mention it, perhaps it would be…”

“Don’t you dare!” you warned him with another smack on his forearm.

You gazed into each other eyes, knowing all too well, you will not refuse him.

“Fine!” you surrendered. “But, and I insist on it, we’ll pretend it came from the both of us. Deal?” you extended your hand in front of you. Loki raised an eyebrow and stared at your serious face. You could not tell if it was pride or amusement that lighted his features, but he soon took your hand in his. His soft, frosty skin against yours made you shiver once more. Your heart pounded in your chest so loudly, you thought the god could hear it too.

“Deal.” he said shaking your hand once but not taking it out of yours.

You stood like this for what seemed to be endless seconds, when the laughters from the living room forced you to come to your senses.

“We better get back there.”

“Right !” exclaimed Loki as he, also, emerged from a dream. “After you, my lady.”

He slid over to the side and unlocked the door he opened for you. As you walked past him, you shook your head at his banter.

You rushed through the corridor, Loki at your heels when you asked “By the way, what’s in it for me?”

“The satisfaction of helping a friend in need.”

“Nah.” you answered unconvinced and unsatisfied.

Before entering the kitchen which led to the living room, you straightened your back, and combed nervously your hair with your fingers. You looked around and thought about coming back with a plate of sliced tomatoes and salmon to announce the beginning of diner. But before you could move, Loki’s hand brushed your elbow, his fingers slowly gliding back to the palm of your hand. His touch teased the tip of your fingers. Then, he leaned over you, his lips against your ear and whispered in a silky voice “How about…anything you want?”

You managed to get through diner without eyeing too much in Loki’s direction. The joyous guests getting most of your attention were a big help. At the end of each course, provided by Stark’s caterer, Steve and Peter landed you a hand, as they were the only ones, alongside you, sober enough to be trusted with plates.

Sometimes, when you gathered the dirty plates, Loki would completely shut you out, ignoring your presence beside him. Other times, he would raised his head to you, smiled and politely give you his plate, saying “Thank you, my lady.” You rolled your eyes, unable to give him the smack he deserved.

“Why is there a smudge on your cake?” asked Steve Rogers examining the desert you had prepared for Thor’s birthday.

“Stark.” you cursed his name through your teeth as you lighted the candles all around the tasty nine realms you baked.

You carefully placed the massive tray on Steve hands and forearm. In the living room, you nodded at Peter so he could shut down the lights. The room was lit only by candles and the fairy lights hanging here and there, reflecting the starry sky outside.

Perfect, you thought as everyone started to sing happy birthday to the god of thunder.

Natasha and Clint cleared the space in the middle of the diner table, allowing Steve to put the tray down. At the end of the song, they all clapped cheerfully. You glanced at Loki. He had a bitter smile on his face. Still he played the part, and joined the congratulations, only politely.

“Don’t forget to you make a wish before blowing out the candles Point Break” laughed Tony in front of Thor’s mesmerized face.

“Why would wish upon blowing some candles out?” he asked in disbelief.

“It’s tradition.” replied simply Natasha.

“It is known Khaleesi.” said Peter, making you burst a laugh.

“Make haste your majesty,” jested Brunhilde. “I can’t wait to see you kick some piñata.” clearly no one had thought best to tell exactly what a piñata was to the Asgardians.

You were standing at the end of the diner table, next to Loki, a camera in your hands. You pressed the video recorder button. That way you were sure to capture the moment. When Thor successfully extinguished the small flames the whole crowd applauded. You walked around the table, taking pictures of your guests when you noticed a sulky, silent Loki whose eyes were lost in some gloomy patterns of thoughts. Most likely he felt envious of his brother’s happiness while everyone cheered and asked for cake.

You kneeled as his side and startled him a bit when you ask for his help bringing the gifts to the table. Nonetheless, did he agreed and quickly rose to his feet. You took him by the arm, initiating for the first time since you’ve know each other, a physical contact that did not involved playful and annoyed smacking.

“When’s your birthday?” you asked bluntly.

“Why? Do you intend on making me hit a strange shaped objet full of sweets as well?” he smirked.

“Maybe.” you shrugged with an amused faced.

“That’s not exactly my style.” he precised.

You beamed your smiled at him and started putting presents on his arms and took a bunch yourself. Another trip will be needed, you realized.

“When is yours?” he asked softly on your way back to the table.

“A lady never tells.” you answered playfully.

The ritual of gifts unwrapping had started as soon the last slice of cake was eaten. You were seated at Thor’s left side, giving him his birthday presents one by one. Between each one, Thor insisted to rise and hugged in thanks. So after quite some time, when finally your gift showed up, you suddenly felt very anxious.

What do you offer a god? You had asked yourself while tossing and turning on bed at night. It was an impossible question and yet you found the answer when you asked yourself instead what do you offer a friend?

You were sure of your choosing until this very moment. You watched carefully his large hands examining the silver paper, touching every angle of the gift, trying to guess what it could be.

He had already received amazing, pricey and thoughtful presents. You glanced at Loki who was eyeing you expectantly, his face showing a slight of nervousness as well.

Not only did you want to please your friend, make him happy. But now, after the bathroom deal between you and Loki, you felt like the fraternal relationship was hanging in the balance. The pressure on your should became more and more unbearable.

“How marvelous!” boomed Thor’s voice.

He showed the book 1001 Places You Need To Visit he had just received for everyone to see.

Thor turned to you and grabbed you by your shoulders, pulling you in his muscular arms.

“I love it [Y/N]. I shall visit every places listed on this guidebook. Thank you!”

“Actually” you coughed when he released his embrace. “It’s from Loki and I.”

“What?” would have exclaimed a surprised audience in a cheap sitcom comedy. But you were not on TV, and the guests, despite having drank a bit much, knew how to behave.

“You remembered!” yelled Thor in disbelief.

“How could I forget?” Loki answered with a false innocence.

Sneaky bastard, you thought, repressing the urge to wipe his triumphant smirk away from his gorgeous face.

“Stranger things have happened.” said Tony sipping his drink.

“Truth is” you said “the book is from me but, the rest was Loki’s idea.”

“The rest? Is there more? What is it brother, please tell me.” he asked impatiently.

Loki looked at you, daggers in his eyes. If he could, he would have murdered you on the spot, you had not doubt. But to his brother’s face he was all smiles.

“I – uh…”

“He wants to visit all of these amazing places with you. All of them.” you insisted.

Thor and everyone else around the table were baffled. All eyes turned to Loki.

“Oh how nice.” said Bruce Banner.

“Yes. It is a very lovely thought.” added Steve Rogers with a warm smile to Loki, making Tony coughed in his drink. Clint and Natasha looked at you, not quite buying the whole brotherly time, but if they did not voiced their suspicions.

“Brother! I – That’s wonderful. I can’t believe it.” he said shaking his brother by the shoulder with a warm, and yet painful, grip.

“Neither can I.” muttered Loki.

It was four in the morning and you were leading a sleepy teenage boy through the corridor.

“Go to sleep Peter. I’ll finish tomorrow.”

“No, but – uhm – I don’t…mind.”

“Sleep. Now.” you commanded as you let him fall upon your bed. You took off his shoes and put a blanket over him.

“Thank you.” he said in his sleep. “Great…party.”

You gently closed the door and headed towards the kitchen. It was still a mess despite your efforts of cleaning it throughout the entire evening. It seemed like it would never be clean again. While that depressing thought crawled into your sleep deprived brain, Steve came in with an empty crate he started filling with emptied bottles. He was relentless, determined to give you a hand until everything looked like it was before.

You began to gather all of the bottles as well, ignoring the headache slowly throbbing . From where you stood, you watchedTony’s head on Bruce’s shoulder as they were both soundasleep.Thor and Sif drinking what was left of alcohol and talking. While, outside on the balcony, there was Sam Wilson singing some Marvin Gaye’s songsto a drunken and merry Valkyrie.

“Where are Clint and Natasha?” you asked realizing you haven’t seen them.

“They just left,” answered Rogers. For Budapest.”

“Oh – Of course.” you shrugged, a bit sad they did not wait to say goodbye.

“Budapest! That’s on our list too brother!” yelled Thor from across the living room raising his glass up in the air.

“Joy.” said Loki with a stern face. He was seated on one of the two stools you had behing the counter of your kitchen island, playing with crumbs of cake.

“Can’t you, at least, use your tricks to speed this up?” you heard Rogers asked the god of mischief as you left the kitchen in desperate need of peace and quiet.

You were sore but content with yourself. As you walked to your bathroom, you decided to take a steamy shower and then put an all nighter. ‘I’ll sleep when they’re gone’ you thought to yourself. Anyhow, you had not many options as where to sleep. It was either the carpet on your living room floor or the smallest bathtub ever in your bathroom.

As you closed and locked the door behind you, your headache seemed to calm a bit. Finally you were alone with yourself for the first time since…since forever. You did not mind the constant buzzing of work at Tony’s compound and the guests at your place, but sometimes you just wanted to be in your quiet bubble.

You turned on the hot water and soon the bathroom was warm and steamy, making your eyelid excruciatingly heavy. You started to undress yourself. First the pants and then your shirt. With your hands you tried to dry the head mirror when you noticed a dark figure had appeared behind you.

“You tricked me.” growled Loki’s voice behind you.

“Never heard of knocking, Candyman?” you jumped out.

You turned to face him, struck by how close your practically naked body was from his. Yet, you defied him with a scornful gaze. The god of mischief took a small step forward, reducing the distance between the two of you.

You were about to demand him to leave the room, when he slipped a hand under your chin. Barely touching it, he made you look up to him. His other hand now skimming the skin of your exposed stomach, giving you goosebumps all over your body.

His green eyes flickered to your lips and went back to your gaze. You could feel his tantalizing breath upon your mouth, his nose almost touching yours as he slowly leaned over you.

“You tricked me.” he purred with a satisfied grin. His lips brushing yours.

——-

I really did love this idea - and the main content is great! I don’t want to be too critical because I don’t want to discourage you in anyway, but there’s a few grammatical errors, tenses a bit mixed up, words in the wrong place - but who cares about that niggly stuff (I mean I can hardly talk! And you’ve already explained English isn’t your native language! ) when the main content is this fun?! After all, it didn’t stop me from reading and enjoying it!

Wonderful job, hun, I hope you continue to write and use this wonderful imagination of yours!

Cotton Eye Thor (Thor)

this was a req!! Yay!!

Request: I absolutely loved “Your Face” and was wondering if you could write another Thor imagine taking place right after Ragnarok where the reader and Thor are reunited for the first time since Thor loses his father, his eye, etc. and he breaks down and the reader comforts him. Super super fluffy please ❤️ (If it fits, could the reader be Tony’s daughter? But if it would just be irrelevant you can leave that out, whatever you think is best). Thanks

i hope you like it! it took days to complete

HELLA RAGNAROK SPOILERS EVERYBODY. HELLA. ;)

“It was a ski trip,” you snarl, barely holding back your rage. “It wasn’t a f*cking declaration.”

Tony laughs, completely ignoring your words as he regales Pepper with your best moments from the weekend.

You’re so stupid. A few PhD’s and suddenly you think you can handle a delusional Stark?

“Seriously Tony,” you growl and he sighs, shooting Pepper a look before he turns toward you. You can see the small curve to her mouth, as if it’s all so adorable.

“Daughter-”

“Nope.”

“I’m having a conversation, what do you need?”

He says it so calmly. As if it’s no big deal.

You’re so stupid. No ski trip is worth this. Well… This one you just went on was fan-f*cking-tastic.

“I need you to stop calling me your daughter. Someones going to hear it and think it’s genuinely true.” You try to give him a serious look, that this is a serious issue and he smirks.

“Shall I list the evidence,” he begins, his Jarvis imitating voice out in full force. Asshole. “Your genius brain? Obviously from me. You have my mothers eyes. You’re a tiny ball of rage, just like I used to be- but I covered it with sarcasm rather than your outright hostility.” He grimaces and your teeth clench. “You’re easily the right age. And Fate somehow dropped you into my arms when you needed me most. The only thing we haven’t done is a DNA test because you’re afraid it’ll be positive and you’ll be my daughter and I’m afraid it’ll be negative and you’ll truly push me away.”

He grins widely and your anger melts away.

You want to say something, to ease him but there’s nothing you can say.

Pepper moves half a step closer, her palms smoothing over his shoulders and he subtly leans into her touch. Under her hands, his entire being softens and you sigh with relief.

Turning, you come face to face with your most favourite person in the entire universe. Of all the galaxies and stars and planets and peoples. This is your favourite.

And he looks like shit.

But even shit, he’s still yours. And you’re his- despite how much being his sucks.

“My love!” Thor booms playfully and you throw yourself into his arms, your legs wrapping around his waist. “I have missed you!”

“Okay, that’s my kid, bro,” Tony grumbles and you scoff, your eyes glued to your best friends face as you stroke your fingers through his hair.

“I’ve missed you too,” you hum, and he beams at you. Tony makes another grumbly sound and you roll your eyes- brightening Thors smile.

“Where’ve you been, anyway?” Tony asks and you frown slightly, shifting slightly. Thor releases you slowly, your body dragging down his a touch more than necessary.

You note that Tony makes an indignant noise about this as well.

“Out, about.” He waves a vague hand, still holding you tight to his body with the other. He catches your gaze, “would you like to go watch Greys Anatomy? Where I have been, I have not kept up.”

You frown slightly, your gaze darting about his face before you swallow.

“Of course, there’s been two new seasons since I last saw you, gorgeous. You’ll never guess what’s gone down.”

He smirks knowingly before hefting you with a firemans lift over his shoulder. Your surprised squeak bursts into a laugh and you smack his ass hard.

“You have to ask!” You shout, smacking him again and he moans exaggeratedly.

“Harder! Yeah, baby!”

“I hate both of you,” Tony snarls and Pepper laughs softly. Your view of them disappears around a corner and Thors shoulders suddenly soften under your stomach.

“Thor?”

“Not yet,” he murmurs and you smooth your palms over his back reassuringly.

“Is this where we left off?” You ask, glancing from the screen to Thors face. He nods, tension around his eyes and you crawl up the bed. Collapsing against his side, you gently palm his cheek and smooth your thumb against his temple. “How’d this happen?”

His head tilts into your palm and his remaining eye falls closed.

“I…” He exhales a heavy breath and presses a kiss to your wrist. “I had a vision when we first met Wanda, when she… Gave those dark visions to everyone, I saw something. After that I went-” He shakes his head. “Erik Selvig tracked down a location for me and I induced another vision, that confirmed my fears. That Asgard would fall under the curse of Ragnarok.”

Your mouth falls open and you stare at his still closed eye.

“Did… Was…”

“I followed the clues to Surtur, the creature that was foretold to ruin Asgard and I defeated him. Took his helmet-crown-thing. I returned to Asgard on his warning and… Loki lives.”

You gasp audibly this time, and his lips twitch with the beginnings of a smile. His gaze catches yours and you raise your eyebrows.

“Yes. He had sent my father to Midgard, imprisoned him in an old persons home and worn my fathers guise and ruled in his stead. After I made him reveal himself we went in search of father. Met a Mr Strange. He was… A ridiculous little man.”

You giggle, your thumb running over his temple again. You’re familiar with Strange.

“Father gave us a vague message that his lifeforce was holding back a monstrous sister we had never met and that he lied about history. Then he died. And our sister arrived. Her name’s Hela and she’s the worst. She pushed us out of the Bifrost while trying to murder us and we ended up on a trash planet, Sakaar. I was enslaved into a fighting ring, my brother slept with the leader of the planet- he’ll never admit it. I found the Hulk, and a Valkyrie, the last of her kind- turns out my sister exterminated the lot of them. We escaped to Asgard, rescued the people, set off Surtur and he destroyed the planet while my sister- whos life force was tied to the planet, fought and died.” He coughs, blinking hard as if just noticing the tear tracks burning down his temples. “My brother lived, Banner lived, Heimdall lived. I don’t… know why I am so emotional.”

His arms encircle you, cuddling you against his chest while he buries his face into the crook of your neck.

“I missed you, more than I thought I would. Every time I went to sleep I wondered whether you were asleep too, whether you missed me, how soon it would be until I could come back to you.” He presses a dry kiss to your neck. “After it all happened, I had- I have a planet of men and women to find homes for. We have settled them on an island here but I don’t think this is forever, there is too many people on your planet already.”

“You’re going to find them a new planet? An second Asgard?” You tilt away from him to catch his eye and he mumbles an agreement. “And you’ll…”

“When I find it, I’ll have to remain there, as king.” His palm smooths up your back and into your hair. “I’ll also…” He clears his throat and his gaze darts from your face to the show playing in the background then back to you. “I will need a queen, to start a family- assure my peoples futures but-”

Are- can he hear your heart? You can hear it. Surely he can hear it. Hear it stopping, breaking, going too fast, cracking. Something. Somethings wrong. He’s still talking when you sit up, pushing back out of his grip.

The change is instantaneous, from nervous to panicked. Worried to fearful.

“Y/N,” he blurts and you hold up a palm.

He needs a broodmare. A pedigree bitch. Whatever animal breeding metaphor that comes to mind.

“I need-”

“I need you,” he cuts in, his hand cupping your jaw as he sits up. “I need you with me, because I can’t be a king, be anything for anyone if I’m not with you.”

“You just said-”

“That I need a wife and family, but I want you. And you can give me- be those things for me. Right? If you wanted- me, if you wanted me.” He expels a hard sigh, relief evident and you find yourself smiling. Somehow.

He wants you.

Despite everything, he wants you, wants you.

You’ve never kissed him.

He’s practically proposed and you’ve never even kissed him.

Your fingers bury themselves in his hair as you tug him to you, your lips finding his in a rushed kiss. For a moment, it’s messy and awkward and your heartrate spikes. You’re going to marry this- then it softens. And his hands are sliding around your waist while his tongue strokes into your mouth. And you’re on your knees, braced over his lap while his hands smooth over your ass- then squeeze.

A giggle pulls you apart and you can’t help beaming when your gazes clash. His grin is too smug but you can’t help but feel it too.

“I love you and I want you to be my queen. Will you consent to marrying me? Now or in the future?” He pauses for half a second- no time for you to answer. “Preferably sooner, we are in a lull that I am sure will not last. Should anything happen I want you to be cared for, you are my heart and my people must know it.”

“Tony would look after me- not that that matters right now, but Tony would look after me.”

He frowns, nodding but keeping his lips sealed. After another moment of silence it hits you.

“Oh! Yes, yes! I will, I’ll- Yeah, lets get married and do all the things that come with it. Queen, whatnot.”

To see the look on his face after you agree, you’d suffer a hundred royal positions. A thousand. Anything to have that moment forever.

Actually…

“FRIDAY! Do you have playback in the rooms?”

“On one minute loops, Miss.” Comes the automated voice and you sigh happily.

“I want a record of this last minute. I want the minute before I asked you about playbacks.”

“Yes, Miss. It has been sent to your tablet as an AVI.”

Scrambling off your new fiances lap, you snatch your tablet from beside the bed and crawl back up beside him. On screen, you can see his face clearly where your back is to the camera. Your position brings warmth to your cheeks, though it might have something to do with the soft kisses he’s placing on your neck. Your on screen self nods and… There.

“I love you, by the way. I love you too,” you say, dropping the tablet behind you and climbing back aboard him. “I love you and want to marry you. And Friday, I want this few seconds as a clip too.”

“Yes, Miss.”

I didn’t edit it in my excitement to finally post and be done etc so i guess just f*cking kill me if it’s riddled with mistakes (they often are- it’s like my thing at this point)

Infinity war spoilers

my reaction

fuckkkkkk holy shit i cant with this movie .. the reason i love these films is because of the characters so imma try to break this down by characters (in no particular order.. just my thought stream)

1. steve fucking rogers survived (but that just means that he’ll prolly die in the next one..... but omg steve his precious little heart every time he was on screen i just wanted to cry .. i went in firmly accepting that he would die in this movie so im overall pleased. but ughhhhhhh BEARDED CHRIS EVANS/BEARDED STEVE ROGERS just fucked me up with his gorgeousness.. his “I am steve rogers” to groot omg precious.

2. im sad that a lot of my favorite characters didn’t get a lot of screen time aka bucky .. i mean yes understandable because of the story and bc of the size of the cast but ugh i just wanted more bucky

3. TOM HIDDLESTON FUCKED ME UP. i cant with loki omg if he’s really gone, which i am assuming because i dont think they would have him fake his death three times, like you leave thor all alone ughhhhhh of all the stupid things he had to just go up and try to slyly kill thanos with all these other bad guys around... not a great plan... and i was dying and crying when he said “we have a hulk” omg call back to avengers i just wanted loki to be happy and alive and now hes not... omg and when he was announcing himself to thanos as Odinson!!! ahhhh poor baby. and also when he gave up the tesseract for thors life. ughhhhh im also very sad since these events take place like right after thor ragnorok but then all these people they just saved are dead and WTF happened to valkyrie??? ugh they just did not luck out that day..

4. thor. yes. this man. everything about him. he again continues to prove himself and i love it. when he was reflecting on how he had nothing left to lose ugh my heart.. his whole interaction with the guardians at the beginning with chris #3 was just great and we are all the guardians when looking at chris hemsworth’s body. his side story seemed a bit long and kind of took away from the main storyline but i think it was good because we got to see him interact with other characters and see how he was willing to sacrifice himself. and when he comes to wakanda DAMN one of the best moments... why can’t these people just let thor be happy??? you kill his father and sister wand then IMMEDIATELY take loki away fuck you guys just let this guy have his family

5. tony. im also so happy he didn’t die. when thanos stabbed him i was crying .. his tech has gotten so much more advanced, which also hurts because you just know he came up with all of these because thats the kind of tech he would have wanted during civil war.. i hate the fact that tony didn’t actually call steve and that they have no interactions ... please just get them in a room together like please. ugh . and tonys now all stuck up there alone with nebula. tony is just amazing at fighting and really does have amazing ideas which just show his intelligence.i like the fact that he knew exactly what peter quill was gonna do the second that he found out that gamora was dead because thats exactly how tony reacted in civil war. tony could see it because hes been there. him and peter parker wow dad and son i love it sm

6. peter parker tom holland you killed me, you blew me away. tom your performance there was so heartbreakingly good i cant i just wanted to give you the biggest hug and fuck thanos up bc no one should make you cry like that. spidey is such a great character though hes just so entertaining and youthful.. his movie references and his heart to try to save all the people flying around.. i just.. you shouldnt have been one to blow away

7.doctor strange i have to admit i really liked doctor strange in this movie. his movie sucked so much that i guess i had really low expectations for him but his character growth in the short amount of time that he had was really great and the mindbendy shit was well done too.. i think his movie just didnt do him justice... and i think that even though he could have let tony die and not given up the time stone, other/more of that gang would have died with thanos trying to get the stone so im fine with it

8. gamora. i cant believe they killed her. one of the best characters in the guardians crew and one of few women in the mcu... ugh her story and her arc throughout the movie was just amazing. brilliant acting by zoe. when she thought she killed thanos on KNowhere and she was just in so much agony about killing him and then it turned out to be not real and quill had to shoot her and she had to say goodbye. omg fuck. amazing acting and great writing. im so sad about her

9. thanos.. while talking about gamora i have to talk about thanos ... easily among the best villains in the mcu. he lived up to the hype. i like how much backstory they gave him (take note star wars) and how we could see the complex relationship with gamora .. the directors were here and were saying how all the best villains have emotional connections with the protagonists and this really made him a better character.. i hate him for hurting all the people i love but you are a formidible enemy

10. peter quill wow chris pratt has range when he had to shoot gamora i cant amazing acting and i just want to hug him too. his character really helped with the comic relief in such a heavy movie and i like a lot about his interactions with the earth avengers and with thor

11. scarlet witch and vision.. i admit im not the biggest fan of their relationship ... like i dont not like it but i also dont really care about it. but this movie really makes you care about them and again wanda had to choose between her love and the stone and that whole scene with the music swelling and her getting the stone out and destroying it. fuck. and then she has to go through all that trauma only to have vision die anyway and thanos get the stone. why are these people bent on traumatizing wanda?? just let her be happy stop killing people she loves

12. bruce was entertaining and i liked his character a lot in this film.. interesting choice to not have the hulk come out but it just shows that bruce is just as helpful too

t’challa, okoye, shuri, m’baku, natasha, falcon, rhodey, bucky all did not get the screen time they deserve (especially tchalla!)

but omg “She’s not alone” and black widow and okoye kicking ass together to save/protect scarlet witch was one of the best moments of the movie

steve and tchalla running at the alien things is my aesthetic (but they should run to me instead of posisbly to their deaths)

bucky and rocket’s whole interaction was great and everything i expected and wanted out of the two of them meeting

fucking groot out here growing up before our eyes

ALSO sooo shook by the red skull being on that one planet. i was the definition of shooketh

when all the characters started fading away .... it was really hard but also frustrating because i didnt feel like the audience or the other characters (other than peter and tony) got the chance to process and react to the loss of all these huge characters and loved ones.

sad but also glad that they didnt have hawkeye and antman in this because i just want to keep them safe and out of harms way. at the end credit scene i had a thought that fury was calling hawkeye and the next movie would just be one guys with a bow against thanos lmao that would be great but also captain marvel yes.

im curious to know when antman and the wasp is suposed to be and i actually will probably see it now

also the main theme in this movie was characters choosing love/a person or the stone and it really really hurts because all these characters are so good and dont deserve any of this

overall i really enjoyed this movie i thought it was well written and paced well. the directing was brilliant and the acting blew me away. i will consistently be amazed by how great these actors are at their job. it probably isnt going to be in my top 5 marvel films (because i do really like the individual films that really are focused on one character and their growth aka catws) and its definitely still beneath avengers 1 in ranking avengers movies but mostly because the film didn’t really focus on the characters i really love and didnt really develop them that much.. but overall i really really liked it i think it lived up to my expectations. i laughed and cried and i was surprised and i think they did a really great job

(also my friend didn’t now that this was part 1of infinity war and thought that this was just the end of the mcu completely and i died of laughed)

I am at the point where i love the fanfic versions of my ships more than the actual canon versions of them because my ships rarely, if ever, actually get to a point where my hopes and fears and anticipation and tears are actually rewarded. Like...

Five years of Philinda for one kiss and then they’re off the team (i’m sure they’ll be back... they better be back).

Three years of Twissy to no real fruition, nowhere near enough screen time for Michelle and the tragic death of Missy with no reward, then the regeneration of my favorite Doctor.

This after getting my heart broken over Doctor/Donna and feeling like i was being forced to accept Doctor/River (i love Alex Kingston but ship her with the Doctor i do not, which sucks in a way because i love River, too).

Kylo and Rey still haven’t even kissed... they’ve got one movie left to fix things and it’s just too depressing for me to put myself through watching the Last Jedi repeatedly because they’re still not together...

...and i would love for Star Wars to actually do pregnancy right in recompense for ruining my then-favorite female character in the SW verse.

One of my first ships ever having a ~decade long separation after apparently being the shitiest parents of all time, and no happy ending.

Carter/O’Neill with the no fraternization and RDA not even being in the final episode

Roslin/Adama happening just in time for Roslin to die (just one of the ships that frustrated me to no end on this show)

Janeway/Chakotay never happening

Picard/Crusher being promised for the TNG films, never actually happening, and then we don’t even get TNG films anymore like...this is one of the best shows of all time and i don’t even get to find out what they’re up to without reading books that are not considered to be canon.

No happy endings for anyone. Like what happened to true romance? Are they even making RomComs anymore (which aren’t even my standard go-to in terms of enjoyment, like Fools Rush In being my fave because it makes fun of Rom Coms and Decoy Bride being amazing because of its witty awkwardness)? Because i can’t find anything on Netflix that isn’t old. It’s a bunch of international stuff that i don’t even want to get into, i know the K-Drama is all full of angst and pining and they apparently never pay off (at least, the one my sister got me into has driven me up a wall in this way. And she told me that no one kisses in these things, so that must be where they’re going with Reylo).

The current trend in sci fi and action films seems to be to eschew romance entirely as unnecessary or unwanted.

Hope/Scott seems to be on hold if in the works at all.

No real T’Challa/Nakia

Peter (Parker)’s a free agent

Christine doesn’t want Stephen and Stephen is too much of a coward to commit to what he obviously wants.

There’s no Thor/Valkyrie (not complaining, but what happened to Jane? not that Natalie and Chris have chemistry)

We get Agent Cap (or whatever else they call it, no idea) where they never even had a first date and knew each other for a couple of years out of four score...

...and Hulk (who is still hung up on his ex last we actually checked in?) gets Nat (but then discards her) rather than Cap or Bucky or even Hawkeye (any of which would make more sense).

Pepper doesn’t want babies and Tony does?!?

Loki, the apparent womanizer of the comics and father and mother of monsters in the mythology, never gets so much as a flirtatious look in his direction from any significant characters (yeah the tittering party-goers in the background of Ragnarok do not even count). All the ships for him are with Thor (his brother, so incest, and i know it’s not genetic incest but they grew up together and still love one another as brothers. It’s canon that Thor is abusive and dismissive towards Loki and the couple of times i’ve tried to read Thorki fanfic they were wildly OOC) or with characters he has zero screen time with (i loved TaserTricks for a while). And he’s the most popular character in the MCU but gets his abilities and redemption arc retconned repeatedly to the point that he’s just a guy with knives who doesn’t even know how to use magic.

Oh and Scarlet Vision, which is apparently in fact canon from the comic books but is just boring. And is already over.

I could go on.

I mean even in Frozen and Moana there isn’t anything going on there and this is Disney we’re talking about. Perhaps i should clarify that Anna clearly fell in love but then spent the rest of the movie with a guy who she was just friends with (are they more in the shorts???) when her fiance was only using her. And Elsa has zero chemistry with anyone. So yes, all of these films have some moments of chemistry, flirtation, but no real character development of a romantic bent, no real intention of even forming an exclusive, long-term relationship that might lead to cohabitation, marriage, babies, etc. Like even Peter and Gamora are not quite an official thing even as Infinity War did a lovely job of making it feel like Peter was meeting her dad because they are a thing.

I miss romance. So apparently shared disaster scenarios do not equal lasting love in today’s storytelling (Jurassic World, Speed, Age of Ultron, etc.)...and everyone is so busy kicking butt that who really has time for relationships? Unless they are the relationships that i do not care for in the slightest and i feel like are being forced on me. I’m not against pining, i’m reading tons of it as Reylo fic, but the pairing eventually needs to get to the point where the characters are actually together and working on doing things as partners.

I love Robin Hood, Tangled, the Princess Bride, Much Ado about Nothing (Beatrice/Benedick), and Pride and Prejudice. I want some tension there, for the man to actually pursue a woman and prove himself to her. I want verbal sparring. Even better, i’d like for the dynamic to shift to where they are fighting side by side as equals (which to be fair Philinda and Hope/Scott is working towards). And apparently i really dig it when the older couple is the one that gets to finally find love (because yeah, now i’m getting to the point where i’m the woman who’s running out of time).

But my real question is how Feige is supposed to give us Young Avengers when none of the Avengers are pairing off? The settled with a family dynamic is sadly missing in the MCU and watching Incredibles 2 has made me bitter about it. Like it feels like Pepper is nowhere near as invested in the relationship as Tony is. Thor wanted Jane but wanted to wander around looking in all the wrong places for info about the stones even more (like why didn’t he go back to his father? Odin clearly knew a little about the stones in Dark World and, result, Loki knows more than anyone else?). Nat can’t even have a family, Clint and Scott are the only ones with kids. Christine and Nakia and MJ aren’t even a shadow of a thought in IW.

Does anyone have a fandom to recommend that actually has this sort of dynamic to it? I’m hoping that Judy and Don heats up a bit in season two of Lost in Space (as my niece puts it, they need to repopulate) but that could be ages yet like post-A4 or even post IX. I am so tired of feeling like the people who i want to be happy together are doomed to be working together but never together together. Please help.
