Movie Redo: My take on the MCU's Illuminati

While I was a fan of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, one aspect of the film I was the least impressed with was the execution of the Illuminati, a Marvel "Team" from the comics full of some of the leaders of the Marvel universe.

The Team works behind the scenes for bigger picture problems effecting the superhuman world. As the leaders of the Fantastic Four, The Inhumans, The Avengers, The X-Men, Atlantis, and The Sorceror Supreme, they often make decisions, with the best of attentions, from places of privilege, and often make the wrong call.

While the team in the MCU does appear to lie to the public about Doctor Strange's death, and appear to control an Ultron Army, they do not appear to be as morally grey as the team we see in the comics. They're basically that universe's Avengers, which is a disservice to the team.

I'd like to pitch some small changes to the people who were chosen to be a part of the Illuminati and some choices in the film that were made to better represent the team and make the movie more interesting.

Motivation

The Illuminati in the film capture Strange in order to stop him from causing another incursion and are trying to figure out what to do with him and America Chavez. While they are hinderances, they are not exactly villains or heroes in the film. While they should not be on Wandas side, they absolutely need to be villains.

A small and simple change should be they are using Strange as bait, and are trying to extract Americas powers themselves in order to kill Wanda and Multiversal threats in the future. They see their "utopia" as the right way of living, and hope to expand their peace across dimensions.

This bold and insane goal is exactly the type of arrogant, terrible and small minded plan the Illuminati should be doing.

Who do we keep?

While I love all of these actors, for the betterment of this story, we need to change up some things.

I believe because the role they play in comics, the Illuminati are the only team I can think of that needs to be all White and all Men. All of them come from places of privilege, all of them are in positions of power, and are short sighted due to their lack of different experiences.

Immediately, Captain Marvel, Captain Carter, and Baron Mordo are gone. I also think Krasinski adds nothing, and so I'd like him gone too.

Patrick Stewart as Professor X is a good inclusion and should stay as is, though he needs to be more villainous.

Black Bolt is by far my favorite inclusion of the crew, every detail down to his death. Needs to stay. Shoutout to everyone like me who saw Inhumans in IMAX.

Whole roles need to be filled?

As we have the leader of the X-Men and Inhumans, we should run through the other types of members of the team in order to narrow down picks and actors. We'll need a leader of a space team, a sorcerer, a king, and a leader of the Avengers.

While this does narrow down the team members, we have wiggle room with the multiverse and MCU actors. While I didn't love this team, clearly whoever chose it had some fun creative ideas. I want to emulate that.

We also need to think of visually different people for Wanda to fight and destroy. They need to be powerful enough to make it a fight but in the end overpowered and killed due to their own arrogance.

Leader of the Avengers - James Barnes AKA Captain America

While I don't love Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic, one thing I did love about it was it gave a lot of fans what they've been asking for.

While I love Sam Wilson as Captain America and he is the right choice for it, a lot of fans, including myself, did also want Bucky to take on the mantle. While we won't see that happen anytime soon, I think giving Sebastian Stan his version of the costume in this movie would've made a lot of fans really happy.

Bucky will lead a much more brutal Avengers, which is more of a military force. I'm imagining in this universe darker versions of hand to hand combat fighters like Daredevil, Moon Knight, and Shang-Chi.

Making him a darker version of Cap would also cement why Sam was the right choice for the role. Plus, who doesn't love more Sebastian Stan?

King of Latveria - Victor Von Doom AKA Doctor Doom

Taking up the place of Namor and sort of Reed, we are bringing back Julian McMahon as Victor Von Doom.

Doom will be the tech specialist of the team and the funder of the team. Instead of Ultron bots, headquarters will be manned and Defended by Doom bots. This will be an underpowered version of the character who still uses electricity and technology.

I think this will be a fun easter egg for older fans, and give a good actor a second chance at an excellent character. If Toby Kebbell is preferred, that's cool too. But I think people prefer the classics.

Leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Peter Quill AKA Star-Lord The Living Planet

Who better to face Wanda than another being that control reality?

Serving as the Illuminati's Doctor Manhattan would be Star-Lord, now a full celestial.

After Rocket Raccoon found a way to drain Ego of his power, Star-Lord became a living god. After using that power to defeat villains like Thanos, Hela, Gorr, and other cosmic threats, Star-Lord brought piece to his galaxy, and kept his operatives in key points in the Galaxy to ensure peace.

Star-Lord will be much less human than he has ever been portrayed, isolated in his cosmic abilities.

Much like Captain Marvel was, Star-Lord will be the last one standing, obviously the biggest threat to Wanda. In the end, she will destroy his planet, turning Peter into dust.

Sorcerer Supreme - Quentin Beck AKA Mysterio

The inclusion of Mordo was fun, but it did not think big enough.

Having a villain of the MCU be the new Sorcerer Supreme, it should be someone we do not expect, and neither does Strange.

In this universe, after being fired from the Baxter Foundation for their failed illusion technology, Quentin Beck traveled to Kamar-Taj and became the Sorcerer Supreme, basically having the same story Strange had.

Having a trickster like Beck now actually have magic would make him a dangerous enemy for both Strange and Wanda. I hope for a magic fight between the two that ends with Strange tricking Beck somehow, perhaps with a move he tried to pull on Peter Parker.

And that is the team.

Professor X, Black Bolt, Captain America, Doctor Doom, Star-Lord, and Mysterio feel like the right mix of abilities, chaos, MCU lore and comic lore that would get fans excited. This is the type of team I want Wanda to absolutely slaughter.

If only Marvel called me a couple of years ago.

@stellerssong I think I should do these separately since the first one is already getting long and is basically just complaining. XD

8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is this the year? Can you tell us about it?

Hmm. In terms of fanfic and not origfic — the only story ideas I can think of that I would say I didn’t feel “brave” enough to write are certain MCU plotbunnies that I found personally compelling but that would have no audience and cause me to get lots of hate messages from MCU Leftists.

I’m thinking specifically of two that sprang from my mind trying to somehow approach the very conspicuous and poisonously incoherent politics of TFATWS, and three years down the line I can still remember a quick plot capsule for both.

(Even the summaries are probably incomprehensible, as the Venn diagram of people who have some fucking idea how a government on planet Earth actually in any way works and people who watched The Falcon and the Winter Soldier all the way to the end is maybe just me. But, you know. The action sequences were super good and I really wanted to see if Bucky was gonna be okay. [Spoiler: Bucky is okay.])

Bucky’s long-suffering therapist Dr. Raynor, who is also a military veteran, slowly unravels the truth behind the character that is, I swear to god, named “Government Official” and appears to be a U.S. senator, a representative to the Fake UN That Is Also The One-World Fascist Government, the head of the CIA, the head of the Smithsonian Institution, and who knows what else. (He's also the guy that Sam Wilson literally says the sentence "You control the banks" to while lecturing him not to refer to the people trying to kill all the civilians at the UN as "terrorists.") Anyway, my explanation for him is that during The Snap, a faction of Hydra used the mass breakdown in communications to establish little pockets of shadow-government, aided by specialists like Government Official who have a mild level of genetic mind-control powers that helps induce people to accept “ah yes, that is a Government Official” and just kinda do what they say. Post-Blip, they continue to be treated like they have the authority that they usurped, even though it makes no sense; as Robert Anton Wilson said, reality is what you can get away with. But with a tip-off from Bucky in his goodbye card, Dr. Raynor begins to see through the fog...

John Walker, in his final confrontation with Flag-Smasher, gets ahold of himself enough to really listen to what she is saying for a moment, and then starts asking her to explain what the fuck she is actually talking about, seeing as she seems to think, among other things, that the Not-UN vaccine distribution program that she’s been bombing is run by “the corporations.” As he listens to everything bounce off her incomprehensible ideology, two things happen: 1) He starts to realize this terrorist leader is like 17 years old and 2) the actual combat is stalled long enough for Spider-Man to show up and web everyone and save the day. Spider-Man hauls John away and webs him to a rooftop someplace, where he has an imagined talk with the memory of Lemar Hoskins, who helps him ponder how and why this random teenage terrorist got all the power she has access to, leading him to have a lightbulb moment about the Power Broker's identity. (Don't get me started about the Power Broker's identity, but it's canon, so I'd make use of it as best I could.)

I guess really those kinds of ideas aren't so much a matter of "not brave enough to write" as "not masochistic enough to bother." But the fic ideas I have that are in the "artistically ambitious" vein of bravery are all things that I've actually written a ton of material for. It's the finishing that gets to me.

#obviously I am not tagging this.#but now I've got those plot summaries off my chest so it turns out this *was* the year. I'm free they can't bother me anymore

MASTERLIST OF THE STORY

Chapter 25: Grief.

“Hi,” Y/N told the therapist when she opened the door to her office.

“Y/N,” she responded with a nod. She took a seat and the doctor did the same thing, opposite to her. “Tell me, how have you been? It's been a while, ever since the accident happened.”

“Yes, it's been a while…” She sighed. “Can I be honest?” The doctor nodded. “I'm in the best moment of my life and also I feel like I'm about to fall apart any second.” She admitted, and Dr. Lee hummed.

“Okay, why do you say you are in the best moment of your life?” Y/N smiled softly.

“Nobody knows this yet, but I'm in a relationship with Loki. You know Loki, I've talked to you about him.” She paused. “Well it's not specifically a relationship but we kissed, multiple times now.”

“Mhm, you did tell me about him. And how do you feel about that?”

“Great! It's… he is great and I… really care for him.”

“Mhm,”

“So, yeah. I have that going on, and Tony and Pepper told us a few days ago that they are getting married, which is very exciting. And in general, they are all so great and I love them so much and I'm so happy.”

“And why do you say you feel like you are going to fall apart any second?” She asked her, with patience, as always.

“Well, sometimes happiness feels bittersweet to me.”

“Mhm, how?”

“Um, I just… feel so angry when I feel happy, and also when I don't. I think this is a lie or am I ever going to feel something else than sadness and pain? But it all comes down to not being able to feel what I feel without it being clouded by a bitter feeling, like I'm rotting from the inside.”

“You are angry.” The doctor told her.

“Um, yes?”

“Yeah, you are angry, but you don't express it and you haven't been expressing it for a while, so you feel as if it's destroying you from the inside out.”

“Yeah…” She said, confused. What she was saying was true, but how could she express her emotions? They were fatal, horrible things. “How can I change that?”

“Well, first you are honest with yourself, and me.” She nodded. “Why are you angry?”

“Because…” She sighed. “It's not a why, it's who I'm angry at.”

“Go on.”

“I'm angry at my family for everything they did while being alive and I'm also angry at them for leaving me with all this pain to carry on my own.” Tears started to gather in her eyes. “I'm angry at the universe, for all this mess, for giving me the greatest gift after the greatest pain of my life. I'm angry at myself, for being angry, for feeling so broken after I tried so hard to put myself together again; for being so ungrateful.”

“Y/N,” Dr. Lee told her, “you are not ungrateful, nor are you broken. You are grieving, and this is what grief does, it makes us feel angry, then sad, then grateful, then spiteful and many more things, in a nonlinear way, which makes it more confusing.” Y/N nodded, wiping her tears away. “We are going to work on this okay?”

“Yes,” she answered, sniffling.

The rest of the session they talked about many things, including her birthday, which she didn't want to celebrate. When she got back from it, she let everyone know that she didn't want to celebrate it, and to please treat it as a normal day, which everyone understood.

When the day came, they only smiled at her as they always did, and carried on with their chores for the day, which relieved and hurt Y/N in equal measures. God, grief was confusing.

-----------------------------

Y/N was sitting down with Pietro and Nat when her phone rang.

“Hello,” she said.

“Y/N!” It was Sarah.

“Oh hi! I didn't see your name on the caller ID.”

“No, I'm calling you from my house number.”

“Oh, okay. How are you?”

“I'm great, I was wondering if you'd like to come to my place tonight to have a sleepover.”

“A sleepover?” Y/N asked.

“Yeah, I know we are probably too old to have a sleepover but I never did it when I was younger so I thought-”

“Sarah! I would love to! What time should I be there?” She interrupted her.

“How about seven?”

“I'll see you at seven then, bye!” She exclaimed, excited.

“Bye!”

She hung up the phone and smiled at the speedster and the spy.

“I have to go get ready, I'm having a sleepover tonight!”

Can you write a story where sam wilson forces steve rodgers to hand over his shield, suit, and title as captain America and turns steve into his personal white fag

24 / 06 / 2023

ASK ANSWERED

- CAPTAIN AMERICA : STEVE AND SAM -

Hey! It's a cool request!

Sam Wilson is more interesting to me than Steve Rogers, but their friendship is great!

I am glad that they are both Captains America and that they explores different things in the comics about their role / duty.

You may know i already wrote many stories about Steve Rogers / Captain America and Sam Wilson being in a gay interracial couple

You will find with this link about SamBucky (another amazing gay interracial pairing) other links of stories about Steve and Sam.

In these stories, Sam Wilson / Falcon and Steve Rogers are in love, but i also wrote stories about Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers where they aren't in love with each other. 😉

However, i agree it seems interesting to do a raceplay story between them.

Seeing the cocky Steve Rogers being the slave of a a black man 😂 that would be funny if i am inspired by a racist version of Captain America like here (in this video).

You can see Captain America being stuck with his 1940's mentality, as someone who considers Black men as his servants, Asian men as inferior spies, and women as objects.

Of course everyone wasn't like that, and this video is to show (amongst other things) how the world evolved. Or that white man is a loser and he must be put at his place 🤣

youtube

The thing is that Steve Rogers is someone who never been strong at the beginning. He has been bullied and was weak and poor. He doesn't deserves to be enslaved (by anyone). In fact, your request depends on which version we take (it could be an alternate version, and after all, he even becomes a nazi at one moment during an a comic plot).

I am not saying your idea isn't good, but the problem is that Steve Rogers isn't a white privileged boi : he is poor, ugly, orphan, beaten by his dad when this one was alive, bullied all his life, never been loved until he was someone tall, strong and attractive...

So it's not as if it was humiliating to take him his power, and Steve himself gave the shield to Samuel Wilson because this one was worthy of it (not only their friendship or his skills or because he deserved it, but because he would make a good new Captain America)

It could also be a story where Jonathan "John" Walker / US Agent is a cliché of a white supremacist and Sam Wilson beat him to make him his slave to show black superiority! That would put him at his place!

Imagine a racist white man leashed on the ground while Sam Wilson lives his best life!

Or it could even be John Walker / US Agent being submitted by his own friend Battlestar, tired of being his black sidekick. The problem is that they are supposed to be friends (in the Disney+series FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER too) so maybe it could be where Black people have power and it's decided that US Agent will now be the sidekick of his own former black sidekick!

If you want to be sure I'll write this story please don't hesitate to come in private messages to give me more details. And i am interested to know if you want this story because you are a black man into white slavery or if you are a whiteboi into black supremacy? Don't hesitate to tell me 😉

However, i started to write a gay interracial MCU and my dear friend @blacksuperiority and I wanted to imagine what would have happened if Sam Wilson had always been Captain America or if he was Captain America after Steve Rogers's disparition.

I wanted to write a love story that may be closer to what you wanted : what if Steve Rogers stayed skinny and weak, small and submissive, and become the sissy lover whiteboy of the tall and strong Sam Wilson? 😍 As a skinny sissy whiteboi, I'm inspired by the love between him and a tall black man!

In this story Steve Rogers stayed skinny and small and Sam Wilson has been chosen to be Captain America. He meets him when he saves Steve from his bullies. It's an extract...

EXTRACT of my future story about unserumed Steve Rogers being in love with Samuel "Sam" Wilson as Captain America

Steve Rogers was preparing his gouaches and brushes when suddenly the arrival of the man who was going to be the model of the day was announced. We opened wide the windows of the workshop. Skinny Steve Rogers and his fellow art students heard a faint noise that gradually grew louder.

Then, a gust blew up a few sheets of paper, and cheers broke out, as Captain America flew across the ceiling of the art school's drawing room. Its red wings contrasted with the white walls of the school of arts.

The one who was the most impressed was obviously Steve Rogers. A few days earlier, the handsome and strong Captain America had saved his life!

Once Captain America was on the ground, the drawing teacher introduced him to the students, all of whom were in awe of this tall, handsome, muscular black man. The professor announced that Captain America had agreed to be a model for the day and that the assignment for the day would be to draw his muscles in order to learn human anatomy and proportions. What a joy it was to have to admire the body of a handsome, strong black man who had saved America! The shy Steve Rogers looked discreetly at Sam Wilson / Captain America, and this one smiled at him. What a great smile !

Captain America undressed and Steve saw that his little white cock had never been so hard in his life! This muscular black man was the most handsome he had ever seen!

Steve looked at him and was amazed of the beauty of this godly man. He drawn his muscles and at the same time wanted to smell his armpits, lick his chest, suck his nipples,... And Sam wanted that too!

Looking at Sam Wilson was like looking at a work of art. Big and strong, his muscles shone. Where the other students of the art school saw in Captain America an excellent model to draw to analyze the postures and movements of the human body, the points of support, the lines and the direction of light, Steve Rogers, he saw in Samuel Wilson the object of his desire.

There were his muscular thighs that Steve wanted to massage, his massive chest that he wanted to kiss, his straight neck that Steve wanted to smell, his nimble hands that the Brooklyn boy wanted them to touch, his laughing look that made Steve smile, him who was so unhappy. And of course, there was that big, well rounded ass, as soft as it was firm, as appetizing as a big chocolate cake!

For the short, skinny boy too poor to buy food, he would give anything to feast on that juicy, sublime ass. Her lewd thoughts surprised even Steve Rogers, whose cute little white cock was hard under his pants. Afraid that it would show, he adjusted his apron, but this gesture caught the attention of Sam Wilson, who smiled, charmed by the naivety of the pretty little white boy he had already saved.

For Steve Rogers, the beauty and masculinity of Samuel Wilson attracted him, but there was this smile, this self-confidence, this natural goodness which made him an obvious choice for the American government to make him its representative, but above all the makes Samuel Wilson worthy of respect.

Respect, desire, but also love: this is what the skinny Brooklyn orphan felt for the nation's hero. This handsome black man would never be her saviour. All his life, Steve Rogers the poor draftsman had been bothered by stronger than him. Today, he wasn't ashamed to admit he wanted and needed to be saved, and was honored that it was by a handsome, muscular black man who looked down on him fondly.

After Captain America saved him from the bullies who were bullying him, Steve Rogers realized that his head barely came below Samuel Wilson's chest. This one was two or three heads taller than him. And yet, that hadn't bothered Sam who had immediately fallen in love with the fragile but delicate Steve Rogers.

Samuel Wilson / Captain America wanted to protect Steve, to love him... This was the only reason why he had generously offered to serve as a model for students at an art school: to finally see the boy whom he already loved more than anything.

So, does it sounds interesting enough for you to continue it? 😉 Any advises to make it better and also different (since I've already wrote about Steve and Sam having kids).

Meanwhile, don't hesitate to like my others StevexSam stories 🙏😘

Scott Lang has successfully trended #notmyCap on Twitter for the past month and Hope has removed his phone privileges because of it. It’s ok though, seeing it not trending, Peter Parker has taken up the challenge to keep it trending until Sam is cap like he, and the world, deserves.

steve rogers

⥤ the one where everyone finds out

you & steve had been pretty good at keeping your relationship hidden from the public eye - it takes one (minor, in his defense) mishap on his part to change that ⥤ the one where you bring home a dog

you want a dog. steve doesn't want a dog. so you get a dog.

⥤ walls

steve just wants to look after you - even if it means breaking down your insanely stubborn walls. ⥤ the one with his new girl

pretending to be over steve rogers is hard. all it takes is a few glasses of expensive wine and a conversation with his gorgeous new girlfriend before the walls begin to come down. ⥤ the one where you can’t sleep

steve rogers is a good cure for insomnia. ⥤ the one where you finally talk about it

when a mission goes wrong, you end up in a cell with your ex-boyfriend. what a better way to pass the time than to discuss where things went wrong? ⥤ knowing me, knowing you

breaking up is never easy - but it’s the best thing you can do (yes, it’s based on the song by abba and no, i have no regrets)

⥤ delays on the a-train

you had a lot of beef with the MTA; slightly less so since the world’s most unreliable subway led you to the likes of steve rogers bucky barnes ⥤ the one where he’s not ready

you and bucky, during one particularly soft morning, have an honest conversation about your relationship ⥤ you have my number

bucky barnes’ memory is a little selective, thanks to all the brainwashing - but one thing he’ll never forget is his love for you, even if you’re a complete & utter pain in the ass. his ass. ⥤ it’s no use, i just do

‘if i just wanted someone to hold, then really anyone would do/i’d close my eyes and really try not to turn them into you, but it’s no use, i just love you’ - no use i just do, hayley williams (a.k.a the one where bucky needs a hug specifically from you) tony stark (no longer on character list) ⥤ the one where he does something dumb

‘you think i’m the stupid one but you’re the one who married me, so who’s the real idiot here?’

thor odinson ⥤ the one with the failed mission

‘you think i’m the stupid one but you’re the one who married me, so who’s the real idiot here?’ natasha romanoff ⥤ questioning

natasha had always been able to appreciate women. once she meets you, it becomes clear why ⥤ aftermath

when the snap happened, everyone’s minds immediately went to the person they loved the most. natasha romanoff’s went to you ⥤ better now

just domestic bliss with natasha - also, you have a cat sam wilson ⥤ the art of self care

after a long week at work, sam wilson waits for you at home matt murdock ⥤ the defence rests

aka romeo & juliet, except you’re a hot young d.a intern & matt is a hot lawyer frank castle

⥤ lonely eyes

frank castle therapises you, basically (based on the song lonely eyes by the front bottoms)

⥤ trigger

frank castle lives to protect you. he doesn't take it very well when you do the same for him. matt murdock + frank castle love triangle, because clearly i have psychological issues ⥤ slipping through my fingers

frank castle has a lot of pride - maybe too much to admit just how in love with you he is ⥤ anyone but him

you and matt are different people. you and frank are similar people. how’s that working out for you? not well. ⥤ red & blue

domestic life with matt murdock was a new kind of bliss. that doesn’t mean you’d ever stop thinking about frank, though. zemo ⥤ the loyalty complexity + part two

you were once loyal to captain america, but it never worked out in your favour – after his actions regarding the sokovia accords sent you on the run, you found yourself in an unlikely pairing with a former enemy. when rogers requires both your assistance, he’s forced to face the truth: you’re no longer his. you’re no longer anyone’s, in fact, but baron zemo comes close. peter parker mcu peter parker ⥤ when we were young

you haven’t seen peter parker for years. a chance meeting on a roof-top reminds you of your younger days. amazing spiderman peter parker ⥤ scenes from a modern romance

everyone has stupid arguments, but it’s hard to stay mad at peter parker ⥤ a matter of time (series masterlist; completed)

peter parker has barely gotten over losing you and getting dragged into another universe where you’re still alive and kicking isn’t about to help the case. thanks to an ultimatum from stephen strange, peter has just a matter of days to make you realise who he is and what you had, or he faces losing you all over again. he better get to work. ⥤ come home

peter parker can’t protect you from everything, no matter how hard he tries ⥤ what can you do?

a.k.a the one where peter has an existential crisis about turning 20 (based loosely on 30/90 from tick, tick, boom)

⥤ burnt out

when you're feeling a little burnt out, peter's there to remind you of what's important (the answer? pizza)

⥤ last request

you want to break up. peter doesn't.

The Football Player (Part One)

Based on this request: “Bucky is a football player and you are a fan of the team but you're also really shy. Secretly Bucky also developed a crush on you. He sees you getting mocked by some idiots and he gets in between to stand up for you. Later then he asks you for a walk and he kisses you.”

masterlist / part two

According to every ounce of common sense still left in your body, you should be paying attention. You’re in school, might as well actually learn something, right? You have a test next period, and if you were smart or wanted to pass at all, you should be focusing right now, tracking every single word that your professor is saying. The only problem is that you’re not doing this whatsoever. No, your gaze is instead directed out the window, where a certain football team is just beginning practice.

It’s not like you were intentionally trying to get distracted. You had come to the classroom right on time, pencils lined up and notebook out, ready to start the day. Your gaze just happened to accidentally shift to the window instead, and when you saw number seventeen in red and gold, well, how could you focus on math at a time like this? You’d seen James Barnes around the school many times, but he never ceases to amaze you.

Honestly, even talking about him tends to light a fire behind your cheeks. You’ve seen this movie dozens of times before: shy, studious girl falls for the football player, hijinks ensue. However, this isn’t a Hollywood blockbuster. Bucky is a star member of the team, and you’re just a fan of your school’s football games. Whenever you do icebreakers in class and you’re forced to describe yourself in one word, you always reach for ‘bookish’ or ‘smiling’. Certainly never ‘superbly athletic’ or ‘on Bucky’s radar in any way’. Those aren’t even one word.

However, you never quite seem to let yourself be brought back to reality. Time and time again, you don the red and gold colors of your school- Mid-Capital University, or MCU, ready to go cheer on the team and your favorite player especially so. In fact, there’s a game tonight, you’ll be going with your friend. No matter how many times you laugh at yourself, though, you can’t shake your crush. You doubt it’ll be going away anytime soon.

The night is young, the shouts loud. You cheer with your friend and the rest of the school as the football team runs out onto the field. Their manager, a Mr. Stark, watches from the sidelines, yelling directions or complaining about how much the equipment is going to cost. The team jogs over to their captain, Steve Rogers, to huddle up and discuss final strategy. Steve is a senior, and you’ve heard rumors that he’s chosen Sam Wilson to take his place as captain next year. He’s Bucky’s best friend, so you’ve heard, although they pretend to fight often enough that you’d think they were rivals.

Bucky is here as well now, eyes glinting from underneath his helmet. He’d had long hair for the longest time, but when he’d cut it over the summer there had been more than a few desolate sighs from the cheerleaders. You had to smile at that- at least you weren’t head-over-heels enough to give up your crush based on his hair. You weren’t that bad yet.

As you watch, the team takes their position. They’ll be playing their rivals tonight, the Hydras. Steve heads to the back, Bucky and Sam on either side of him. Further along the team, you can begin to recognize other players- Scott Lang, a kid who’s scrawny off the field but seems to grow twice in size the second he puts on his gear, Peter Parker, the freshman who managed to make it on the team within his first few days, and Natasha Romanoff, the one girl on the team who’s got a death stare promising she’ll tear any objectors to shreds.

The whistle blows, and the teams are off. You watch with bated breath as Bucky darts left, right, catches the ball from Steve and takes off down the field. Apprehension grows across the student body until at last- touchdown, your school! You rise with the others, cheering in unison. Maybe you’re just being silly, but you could swear Bucky looked at you with a smile just as he started off back towards the line.

The rest of the football game is a breeze. Your school wins easily, and Bucky definitely did his part to secure the victory. The next day, everyone is still buzzing over the catches and near misses with their friends, not wanting to miss a single moment. You suppose it’s still on your mind, which is why you’re frozen in your tracks when your new lab partner sits down beside you in biology.

It’s Bucky. Of course it is Bucky. Of course, the one time you have to have a new lab partner in class, your teacher manages to have the terrible luck to place you with the one person who reduces you to a blushing mess every time he steps within ten feet of you. Bucky slings his backpack down beside his chair, offering you an easy smile like a flyer, free of charge.

“I’m Bucky.” He says, and you remember yourself. “I know. I saw the game, you were really good. I’m Y/N, uh, by the way.” Bucky’s smile grows even wider when you mention the game, if that’s possible. “You saw the game? That’s so nice of you.” You feel like you can’t form a coherent thought. “Yeah, I went with my friends. Your team won.” You want to slap yourself in the head- of course he won, he was there. You’re stating the obvious.

But Bucky doesn’t laugh at you, or act like you’ve said anything strange. He just nods, shoulders slumping slightly as he thinks about last night’s game. “It was hard. I guess every time you go against your rival school the pressure’s just ten times worse. It took a lot to just run out on the field.”

He stiffens slightly after he says this, like he wasn’t intending on sharing that secret just yet. However, you’re just grateful that you’re not the only one saying whatever pops into your head. “I can’t blame you. If it’s worth anything, though, I thought you were great.” Bucky’s beaming smile is back, brighter than ever. “It’s worth a lot from you.”

Maybe this sudden seating arrangement won’t be that bad after all.

Your friend catches up to you the second you leave the biology room behind. She looks back and forth between you and Bucky’s retreating form, something in between astonishment and a teasing grin lingering on her face. “Tell me I didn’t just make that up. Tell me you’re actually the lab partner of the one and only Bucky Barnes, the guy you’ve been crushing on for, like, forever.”

You shove her slightly, although you can’t help but smile. “It’s true. I don’t know how, but it’s true. Guess the bio teacher really liked me that period.” Your friend loops an arm around your shoulders. “It’s not just him who really likes you. Did you see the way he was looking at you? All through class, he kept stealing glances. I think Bucky Barnes has a crush on you.”

You stop in your tracks. “That’s impossible. He would never.” Your friend crows in victory. “But he did! You don’t stare at somebody like that unless you’re hopelessly in love with them. It’s the same way you stare at him.” Indignation rises in you like a spring. “I don’t stare at him. I just observe, casually.” Your friend snorts. “Well, you casually observe him a lot. Honestly, I just see this as a success. If you can get the star football player to fall in love with you, then I think I can win the lottery or something.”

Even after your laughter rises and dies away, you can’t help but think about what your friend said. Surely it’s impossible- Bucky would never so much as talk to you outside of class, let alone have a crush on you. But your friend wasn’t exactly lying. You had seen Bucky out of the corner of your eye, the way a smile lingered on his lips when he glanced over at you. That wasn’t just nothing, right? Honestly, this whole lab partners deal might be more pressing than you ever thought possible.

The only way to move on is to go through the next day, and the next. After that, however, you have biology again, and that means finding your place next to Bucky Barnes and pretending like your heart rate isn’t skyrocketing the second he smiles up at you, saying he’s glad to see you again. Your friend keeps stealing glances your way, eyes wide and thumbs raised in an expression of impressed awe.

As it turns out, your friend isn’t the only one to see something between you and Bucky. You make your way out of the bio room, unable to hide a smile, although your happy outlook disappears the second somebody blocks your path across campus. This somebody just happens to be Mandy Fleming, bottle blonde junior who thinks she owns the school, and her entourage of preening followers.

Mandy folds her arms over her chest, considering you. Her lip purses. Evidently she finds something lacking. “You know, I don’t think we’ve had a proper conversation in a while. We need to make a few things clear.” You force a smile, trying to step around her. “Can we do it later? I have places to be.” Mandy curls her lip. “I don’t wait. This can’t wait. See, you’ve developed the unfortunate habit of spending too much time around Bucky Barnes.”

You raise an eyebrow. “We’re lab partners. What, you want me to ignore him?” Mandy’s eyes narrow. “That would be preferable. Next class, you’re going to go up to the professor and tell him you want to switch partners. Make something up about wanting to be closer to the board or something, I’m sure he’ll believe it.” You can barely listen to her. “And why would I do that?” Mandy takes a step closer. “Bucky is mine, not yours. I’m going to need you to back off.”

You stare at her. “You want me to switch lab partners all because a boy you’re not even dating is sitting next to me?” Mandy’s head rears back. You’ve obviously struck a nerve. “Listen here, honey. This isn’t an issue about me, it’s an issue about you. What, did you really think Bucky would ever even give you the time of day? You’re a nobody, a nothing, somebody not even worth a fraction of his time. Honestly, I’m doing him a favor by getting rid of you. He doesn’t want to see you, not for a second.”

With every word, you can feel your confidence plummeting. Mandy notices this, a smirk burning even deeper into her lips. Sometimes, you swear she can smell fear just like an animal. “You’re worried because you know I’m right. You’re pathetic, really, and Bucky Barnes wants nothing to do with you.” Just as you feel like you want to go back to your dorm room and never see the light of day again, a voice rings out from behind you. It’s a voice you recognize instantly, and one that Mandy does too, as she shrinks back the second she hears it.

“You couldn’t be more wrong.” Bucky steps forward, taking a place next to you. Mandy forces a smile. “I, uh, don’t know what you’re talking about. Y/N and I are just having a little chat about homework. We had homework, right, a textbook reading and-” Bucky cuts her off coolly. “I heard every word. If you think I’d want to choose you over her, you’re wrong. She’s a hundred times the girl you’ll ever be.”

Mandy stammers, fishing around for words but coming up with nothing. It’s almost cathartic to watch. “Now, if you’ll excuse us, Y/N and I have somewhere to be. And if I hear you trying to talk to her like that again, believe me when I say that this won’t be the worst I’ll say to you.” Bucky offers you a hand like a proper gentleman, and you take it, letting him steer you away from Mandy and her followers, who are still gaping at your backs.

The second you’re out of earshot, Bucky turns to you, apologies and regret written all over his face. “I’m so sorry about that. It’s all my fault- she’s been trying to flirt with me all semester, and I finally gave up and rejected her, and now she’s taking it out on you. I wish none of this ever happened.” You manage to force a smile. “Trust me, it’s fine.”

Bucky looks at you, concern still lingering in his eyes. “Are you sure? I can talk to them again if you think they’ll bother you.” You laugh at that. “Don’t worry about me. I’m perfectly alright.” Bucky smiles at that. “Well, if you are perfectly alright, I was wondering if you were busy this Saturday. I saw this new park that opened, and it looked really interesting, but if you’re busy or something we can totally do something else, or nothing at all, whatever you-”

You cut him off, unable to hide a smile at his rambling. “I think that sounds excellent. I’ll see you there?” Bucky’s face lights up. “I’ll see you there.” He gathers his courage one last time, then leans forward to kiss you. He flashes you one last perfect smile before disappearing around the corner, leaving you with a smile and the memory of his lips on yours. When you look up, you see scores of jealous girls staring at you, but for once, the attention doesn’t bother you. Why should it? You have Bucky at last, and he doesn’t want anyone but you.

I’m curious why SamBucky is so rare-ish in these streets when it comes to pairing Bucky with an MCU character? I get it, I get it, with the Stucky ‘end of the line’; we been teaming up since the comic book days spiel. I personally see Bucky and Steve as brothers after Captain America: The Winter Soldier cause it felt like Bucky was ready to adopt Steve after his mother, who was his only remaining family, died.

That’s me. I know everyone not going to see it in that light. But Bucky gives me big brother vibes whenever he has to save pipsqueak Steve in the MCU. Plus the original comics had Bucky as an adorable, little sidekick that would make you think reverse big brother and little brother, with Steve being the big brother and Bucky the little brother. I don’t read the comics so it might just me. No offense.

Is it really about the, Steve knew him longer thing? I mean other than possibly Natasha in the comics, Bucky has no clearly defined MCU love interests. Bucky was a flirt before he met Sarah Wilson, so him being able to flirt, just proves he’s coming into his own. I’m not saying he doesn’t like Sarah that way. But he also flirted with Peggy in the first Captain America movie because he’s a lady killer and was more than willing to take the two girls off Steve’s hand at the Stark Expo when Steve floundered. Steve/Tony I sorta get with the enemies to lover trope. The Bucky x Clint thing is really mind-boggling to me because there were no interaction between them in the MCU; so something must have happened in the comics. So okay... But the fact that Sam had more interaction with Bucky in the MCU and had a whole comic book series with him and Bucky shouldn’t have the ships OF SamBucky and Sam x Clint at a 700+ fanfic difference. Fandoms are so weird sometimes... anyway...

Sam and Steve are the only ones in the MCU who really interact with Bucky outside the strong and beautiful people of Wakanda. None of the Wakandians seem interested in Bucky, except in maybe a familial way. Like they found a stray cat, nursed and raised it; but the cat is still an outdoor cat that might visit from time to time, but is mostly out there doing its on thing. Just the feeling I get with how comfortable Bucky was interacting with Princess Shuri and/or the Dora Milaje. They respect him, fixed him, and let Bucky roam free.

Steve is somewhere on the moon or wherever, in The Falcon and Winter Soldier tv series and Sam is the only one willing to stay in contact with Bucky. Shoot in Endgame only Sam and Steve were Bucky’s only people because Steve protecting Bucky caused a rift between the Avengers. It was repaired, but Team Iron Man doesn’t know Bucky at all, and/or don’t seem interested. Team Captain America are either dead (Natasha), being with their family (Clint and Scott), or dealing with their own shit (Steve and Wanda). So that leaves Sam. That’s really no coincidence even though I’ll admit, Steve going to a support group to more Peggy instead of his two best friends that were recently missing was kind of shitty.

So again, getting back on track, why isn’t their more Sambucky love? We already know Stucky is default most popular in the fandom for Bucky pairing. But Sam, who has the enemies turn friends aspect about him and has been the only one, besides Steve, who openly tried to find Bucky. I mean what better love story is it for a man who went from thinking Bucky would be better off dead, to suddenly sacrificing his 9 to 5 and freedom to search for Bucky and help him escape the airport in Germany?

I mean SamBucky is one of the few ships that has a foundation of amazing content from Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan’s interactions with each other. Mackie and Sebastian literally went from play pretending like they couldn’t stand each other, to damn near needing someone to chaperone them in their interviews because they so random shit, flirt and love to be close. Sebastian has talked about Mackie more than any costar and Mackie has a wonderful knack for finding Sebastian on any red carpet event to compliment the hell out of him. They literally had a show created for the two characters because of that amazing chemistry and Sebastian even co-signed on it with this gem below.

The MCU was throwing Bucky and Sam together over and over again, way before they got their own tv series. They argued together, fought each other, tried to one up each other by ripping wings and dropkicking from the air. Even in the television show big-hearted Sam willingly allows Bucky to go on a top secret government mission with him. Checks in on him constantly to make sure he’s okay. The only one that defends Bucky against people like Zemo, Sharon and John Walker.

Sam really was the one person that helped put most of Bucky’s demons to rest in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. He gave him the tough love he needed in the end. He gave him purpose. He teased him like he was a normal person and not a former, brain-washed assassin. Sam watched over Bucky because he wanted to. Steve never asked him to check on Bucky. Steve never asked Sam to help him find Bucky. Steve never asked for Sam to sacrifice his freedom and go to the raft just so Bucky and Steve could escape in the airport. Sam volunteered to do that all on his own because he saw how worthy Bucky was.

Why else would Sam have him on a top government mission? Why else would he try to bail out Bucky from jail or follow Steve and Bucky against his Avenger allies? Why else would he let Bucky talk him into let Zemo go? Or any of the other insane things they did together, unless he didn’t care?

And that’s what Bucky needs, someone to give a damn about him. Someone to text him and chase after him. Someone to defend him and remind him that he’s not the Winter Soldier anymore. Someone to offer him a place to stay and normalcy. Someone who isn’t afraid to introduce to his family or watch his six in a battle. Someone touch him because he knows Bucky’s been touch-starved or tease him because he’s not afraid to be next to him.

Sam knows this Bucky. The Bucky who was determined to give the Shield to Sam. The Bucky who dangled kids off his arm while talking to Sam’s sister. The Bucky who has trouble sleeping at night because he still has demons. The Bucky who tried to kill him because he didn’t have control of his own body The Bucky who was just as broken as Sam when Steve just Peggy over them. The Bucky who is trying to find purpose in a world that has forgotten about him. He doesn’t have to remake himself into the old Bucky for Steve because Sam only knows this Bucky. Bucky doesn’t have to be anybody, but himself around Sam and he is.

I mean maybe people don’t care to pair Bucky with Sam because he was against saving Bucky the first time; or didn’t pull up the car seat; or didn’t want to jump in believing Bucky after he threw him across the room by his chin; or maybe because Sam’s black... WHO KNOWS.

I just thought it was odd that the fandom doesn’t respect Anthony Mackie as a whole, too. Like the poor man has to insert himself into interviews with his white costars just to not be pretty arm candy. But that’s another rant for another post.

And now anti Tony people are blaming him for letting Sam’s family being in financial trouble wtf the man is dead! Let him rest!

Yeah, I saw.

They’re definitely going to keep doing that, gotta say, the MCU never failed with Tony's character, they created circumstances for him exactly just like Stan envisioned. The ‘love-to-hate’ trope is strong when it comes to him, this is what Stan wanted out of Tony Stark's relationship with his fans/audience. Thing is, the reality of the MCU superhero is that they’re all flawed. None of them are exempt from anything. Why Tony gets more hate than the others?

He’s the most popular character. There’s no discussion in this instance. Popular superheroes that first come to people’s minds are always Batman, Iron Man and Spider-Man. Tony Stark/Iron Man is a pop culture legend and the fact that RDJ got to portray him as great as he did, helped a lot. People are always going to circle back to the character who has more hype and audience.

He’s the one with the money. The fact that Tony is swimming in money automatically makes him the target of the ‘eat the rich’ mentality. People fail to remember that other characters such as T’Challa (who has more money than Tony would ever wish to see and lives in the most technologically advanced country in the world), Shuri, Thor (a literal king with a kingdom), The Pym family, Danny Rand (he has a net worth of $5 billion and is one of the richest comic book characters of all time), etc exist. And we still haven’t seen the other Marvel characters (in the MCU) that are richer than Tony like Reed Richards, Professor X, Warren Worthington, Norman Osborn, Namor, Doctor Doom, etc.

Even if some of us see RDJ as attractive and good looking, some people don’t. For them, RDJ is nothing compared to Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Sebastian Stan, etc. It’s easier to hate a character you don’t find attractive. And also the fact that they find those actors relatively younger than RDJ.

It’s the most shippable character. This also means he must be in the way of some other ships. Even if this sounds unbelievable, many people don’t get their irrational hate for a character until it dawns on them that they only hate him because he either treated one half of their ship unfairly or because he’s in the way of that ship. The more reasons they can find to hate him, the more legitimate their senseless hatred seems in their minds.

People don’t call out characters like T’Challa or Shuri because they’re scared of being called ‘racist’. T’Challa is so rich that Howard Stark could only buy (just an assumption, it’s a possibility he stole the vibranium lmao) only a portion of vibranium to build Steve’s shield, and because is the world’s most indestructible material, his worth is approximately $10,000 a gram (Fantastic Four #607) and Wakanda's vaults hold 10,000 tons of the material (Doomwar #1) T’Challa is not a billionaire, he’s a trillionaire lmaoooo everyone else is a joke compared to him.

Even having all of this info, Tony and T’Challa owe nothing to anyone.

T’Challa helped Bucky because of his principles (Tony offered to do this at the beginning as well until of course, he found out he killed his parents) but because of that, that doesn't mean T’Challa owes Steve, Sam, Wanda, and Natasha money or housing assistance. He didn't give it to them at all and he doesn’t have to.

James Rhodes: Well. You guys really look like crap. Must've been a rough couple of years.

Sam Wilson: Yeah, well, the hotels weren't exactly five star.

Wanna know why? Because T’Challa knows they’re adults and they make their own decisions. Sam chose to be on Steve’s side, Wanda did too, Natasha too, etc. Adults make decisions and they should deal with the consequences that come with that. Tony was not going to deal with their financial problems because they made a choice and it’s not his problem to deal with. Tony is not their father. People need to ask themselves why Sam was not in the ‘lift the hammer’ scene after the party, because he wasn’t familiar with them, he wasn’t friends with Tony, only with Steve. Besides that fact, they all fought Tony, hurt his best friend, and left him to deal with the rest in CW. They’re not family.

Sam Wilson: No, I'm not actually sorry. I'm just trying to sound tough. I'm very happy chasing cold leads on our missing persons case. Avenging is your world. Your world is crazy. Steve Rogers: Be it ever so humble. Sam Wilson: You find a place in Brooklyn yet? Steve Rogers: I don't think I can afford a place in Brooklyn. Sam Wilson: Well, home is home, you know?

There’s absolutely no reason Steve can’t afford a place. He’s an adult, he has a good reputation, he worked for shield (why aren’t yall on Nick Fury’s ass if he had Steve and the others as employees? Fury set an entire place for Clint, why can’t he do it for the rest of them, he is the founder of the Avengers after all), and was pretty much capable of doing stuff for others. Tony provided them with a home while they were working together, he doesn’t need to concern himself with their personal problems because they’re not actual friends. Rhodey is his friend. Happy is his friend. Also consider the fact that maybe Sam didn’t want his help?

And let’s also take into consideration that Tony is not only an Avenger, but Tony is also a businessman, an inventor, an engineer, has a company to keep an eye on, he is the one who finances the Avengers’ messes and other superhero messes too by co-owning the department of damage control, etc. He has other things to do. The rest of the Avengers are adults too, they should seek a job that could give them a future too, not just depend on Tony’s money. Tony had a family and he had to make sure they were covered after his death, this includes, Pepper (his wife, therefore she gets his stuff), Peter (his son, he left him EDITH, he’s basically set for life with that given the A.I. has access to the majority of his things including bank accounts), Morgan (his daughter; his responsibility), Happy and Rhodey (I’m sure we’ll see what he left them in Armor Wars). Why? They’re his actual family.

If some of you know this and you’re still looking for reasons to put the blame on him, you’re failing to recognize you’re obsessed with hating Tony just for the sake of being right. Wouldn’t you like a life where you don’t have to constantly look for reasons to hate on a fictional character, better yet, a character you don’t like at all. Why the effort? You can love Tony and Sam at the same time, I promise you, this is not going to kill you.

So please, instead of whining about Tony Stark all the time, why don’t yall just enjoy the fact that the show is showing you a vital and important event that happens in life while representing a part of Sam’s life to add to his emotional depth and character development? Especially because he’s a superhero and possibly the next Captain America, it’s good to see someone who is supposed to be a figure (superhero) whose actions or achievements are far greater than what people expect deal with normal things. They’re giving you a background; a solid storyline for his character. Let it be. Enjoy the shows yall, you can’t keep coming back to blame Tony for everything that happens after every single movie or Disney+ show, look for another metaphorical punching bag. The man is dead.

Sam Wilson headcanon

One Sam scene that I think is really interesting because of how it deviates from a lot of other Sam canon is the scene where he cautions Steve that some people can't be saved, referring to Steve wanting to find Bucky. Even though Sam readily agrees to help Steve in doing so, there's a sense in the scene that Sam isn't totally sure that Bucky is going to be able to be saved which is, you know, completely reasonable. Bucky being all Winter Soldier-y and just having tried to kill them and all that? yeah.

What I find interesting about the scene though is that while Sam is a down-to-earth, realistic guy he's also very hopeful and leans more optimistic than not, which is both very admirable, especially considering all he's been through in his life, and a very powerful characteristic to have. Virtually the only time we have seen him hesitate at the idea that something couldn't be saved or changed or given a more positive outcome is in this scene with Steve and again, it's totally reasonable for Sam to assume that might be the case when the challenge was a brainwashed super soldier assassin. What I take from it, though, is that it's not actually about Bucky personally at all-- it's about something personal to Sam and how he's relating to Steve in this moment.

Sam knows that Bucky was like a big brother to Steve. (If you're of a shipping mind, there can be more to it than that but they, at least, had that kind of 'Bucky looking out for Steve' thing going on back in the day.) Sam sees Steve hurting over what's happened to Bucky and I think that what Sam says to Steve about it is less about really believing that the outcome might not be good than it is about just needing to warn Steve to steel himself for the pain that will be nothing compared to what he was feeling then if, in fact, this doesn't end well.

Yes, Sam could just be saying that from the perspective of a friend trying to help a friend but the way he pauses before saying it, the way it comes out, makes it sound like he's personally relating to the moment and that, to me, suggests the presence of an older brother-like figure in Sam's life that wasn't able to be saved. While this could be a soldier he served with, I think it's actually Sam's literal older brother, Gideon. Even though he hasn't been mentioned by name yet in the MCU, he exists as of TFATWS, when Sam called the neighbors for help and referred to himself as "Paul and Darlene's youngest boy". Sam and Sarah had an older brother. He could, theoretically, still be alive but it's hard to imagine, since Sarah was on her own for so long. Sam's need to take on a lot and try to be there for everyone also might speak to being a younger sibling who is trying to take on the role of his older brother in some ways, especially when it comes to his family.

I think that the scene with Steve is more about understanding Steve's pain over feeling like he was at a loss when it came to saving the guy who was there for him when he was younger. Sam was ultimately trying to warn Steve that it might not have a happy ending because Sam himself knows what it's like for that story to not. It's another reason why he's extra-supportive of Bucky's recovery-- when he meets Bucky (as opposed to The Winter Soldier) and learns that he's dealing with a tough-as-hell, snarky little shit who isn't going to give up anytime soon, Sam is delighted, not just because he's always hopeful that people can find their way to being the best versions of themselves but because his friend Steve now isn't going to have to go through what Sam himself went through in losing the brother closest to him.

My Experience Shifting to MCU Part 1 it’s really long sorry

Okay the first time I shifted was in January so I will summarise what happened till now.

Steve gives the best piggy backs rides, he’s also gay and loves Bucky but when Bucky and I got together he moved on. Steve is also the one who introduced me to everyone. He makes great pancakes and has the infinity war beard. He’s also very good in training and god his body 😏

Tony on the other hand loves Peter like his own son 🥺🥺. I annoy him a lot by either stealing his suits or by pranking him with Loki. He is exactly like what you think he would be but he is also hella caring

Natasha is so scary at first but I made her get used to me and my pranks and stuff, she has so much love for Bruce and vice versa. She also becomes my training partner when Steve isn’t around. And she gives best life advice. Also her combat skills 😍

Bruce Banner is always at the lab and if not then he is fonduing with Nat 👀. And if that’s not the case he’s helping Tony and Peter. I haven’t interacted with him that much.

Peter Parker! This boy is so not what y’all think (well maybe in only in my DR he is like this). He is so kinky and naughty, boi I don’t know how can he be so innocent around others. Yes he and I dated at one point, but we broke up cause of some drama(he hugged MJ the way he hugs me and wouldn’t apologise to me), he is so caring and possessive like boi he won’t leave you alone at all and boy cuddles and kisses with him🥺🥺 i fondued with him first 😏. He also did some dances with Scott Lang and Peter quill 😭(if you want the whole relationship story of Parker and I let me know, it’s kinda adorable and kinda naughty) he still loves me and I do too but

I’m dating Bucky Barnes now 😏 okay so this dude was in love with me way before Peter and I dated and he had kissed me when the rest of the avengers and I played truth and dare, he made Peter so angry that Peter fondued with me😏. Oh god and his hands 🥺. (Now I will type down how Bucky and I got together and what are relationship is like now).

Okay so we got together when Bucky was sitting with Sam and I came up to Bucky with sad face since Peter broke up with me and I hugged Bucky and told him everything that happened And buck was like “be with me if I make you feel happy” so I kissed him And then we got together .so when I shifted again I walked out of my room and Bucky was like “doll I have been searching for you everywhere I thought something happened to you” and he looked at me like 🥺.I gave him a kiss and he was like “oof! Doll I have missed that”🙈.Bucky and I also 👉🏻👌🏻we went on a mission and I was partnered with Nat and when we came back I went to injured Bucky and tried to give him aid and I took him to my room and while I was aiding him he looked at me and leaned in and gave me such a passionate kiss 🥺🥺🥺.So I sat on his lap and said “I’m ready to give you my heart” .And he looked at me like “Are you sure sweet cheeks?” And I nodded so he then placed me on the bed and locked the door.And then he took of his shirt, left the metal arm on since I told him to.And then he got next to me and then slowly took of my clothes.He then laid me under him and kissed me first then my neck.And then went down on me first.He was so careful not to hurt me. Omg when I told him I love him 😭.He looked like a lost kitten that just found his home.Anyway the day after I and Bucky had fondued I woke up and made him breakfast only to have him hug me from behind and hum a song in my ear I was like “Bucky what are you doing” and he said “serenading my girl” and Wanda coughed and we turned around to see everyone look at us and Peter looked so heartbroken that he pulled me in to a room .And tbh he said “so you’re with Bucky now? The same one I told you to say away..” he said some other rude stuff (Peter was heart broken) making me cry so Bucky came and stood in front of Peter and said “if you make my girl cry ever again, I swear I’ll take her to another apartment building and marry her right in front of you making you hate yourself for eternity” and I looked at him like 🥵👀.Bucky and I kiss all the time making Tony say “stop snogging each other and listen to the mission updates”.Once John called me to meet him alone in a place so I went and I didn’t know Bucky was following me secretly so when I got there John Walker kissed me after a while of talking and Bucky was like “so you came here for kissing another guy” and I looked at him and kept repeating the truth and Bucky said “he knows the truth” and he starts beating up Walker .While he was beating up John I got kidnapped by hydra and when Bucky heard me screaming he ran towards the vehicle I was in but he was too late.I was taken to hydra’s secret place and tortured there and when the avengers came to find me Peter found me first and was like “what the hell darling, you’re okay I’m here, everyone’s here for you” and took me out of constrains only to get kissed by me just then Bucky saw me and looked so heart broken but I ran to him to tell him that I choose him but he said that till he doesn’t sort out this hydra situation he has to go away. And I looked at him like “ I want to come with you”.I said “don’t break my heart like Peter did, I don’t know why I kissed him, I just want to be with you, you make me so happy and so loved, please don’t break up with me, with you i feel alive” and I cried as I said this,He pushed me against the wall and said that he will never break up with me but He need to make sure I’m giving this relationship my everything and I looked at him and kissed him with so much love and passion that showing him how vulnerable I am with him .The way he looked at me when I got really vulnerable with him and the way his held my cheek with his real hand as I did him 🥺 The way he said “I would do anything for you doll” 😭 (these things happened just recently so I will keep you guys updated if you want me to)

Wanda Maximoff and Vision along with Tommy and Billy. Yes they all are alive and together in my DR!. Wanda is so sweet and just a momma bear🥺 she is the first one to know about the drama and tea that happens to me and I’m like her younger sister 😭. She is such a great wife and mother and I’m so proud of her she treats everyone with yummy food every lunch time. Vision on the other hand is annoying af because he keeps asking me if I fondued with Peter or Bucky so I warn Wanda to tell him to shut up about it. Their kids play with me and Pietro so much

Pietro Maximoff is such a flirt but he doesn’t go that far because I tell Wanda to keep him in check as well, he’s also really fast obviously and boi training with him is fun and how he and I along with Loki prank Bucky 😂😂😂😂. Boi I need to spend more time with him too

Loki is my homie, my best friend and my partner in crime!. He took to me Asgard and the way I greeted Odin made Loki laugh so bad 😂. He gives me the best prank ideas and also always tried to keep me away from Peter and Bucky at first. He also always get thrown away by Tony I have no idea why but Thor brings him back to the compound. He’s so caring towards me and tbh I tried kissing him once he said “no thanks, I’d rather kiss a corpse” 👁👄👁.

Thor is exactly like that in the gif, goofy and so hilarious like oh god if humor was a person Thor would be it. He is soft and makes great pop tarts which I steal because why not 🤷🏻‍♀️. Thor trains with Loki and Wanda since Clint is not around cuz clints on fam duty vision is partnered with Tony and Peter. I can lift his hammer which pissed him off so much that he broke the lounge table 👀

Sam Wilson the only time I interacted with Sam a lot was when Bucky and I had to go to hydra facility and he was fun to be around. When I’m cuddling with Bucky or sitting on his lap Sam teases us so much that I tell him stfu 😂

T’Challa ,Shuri, Scott Lang and Peter quill have visited only once so I haven’t spend time with them I only remember t’challa and shuri bringing biscuits and Scott Lang being all so adorable and giving me a piggyback ride, quill accidentally shot me with his gun so yeah he isn’t allowed anymore. Strange hasn’t made any entrance yet but I’m thinking about bringing him to my DR

I have erased some explicit details if you want them DM me cuz i don’t want to scar anyone young here

newly edited; may 24th 2021

Every single thing about Sam Wilson had made your stomach flutter with uncontrollable butterflies. The way he spoke and carried himself. His bright smile and the way he laughed and how it reached to his eyes. All of those things are what made you fall in love with him, but falling in love with your best friend was tricky.

For years you both stood in touch despite how many states you lived from one another. After Sam came back home and started living in D.C, you got a job there and he was fucking thrilled. You struggled to find a place to live, despite Sam’s efforts to get you to move in with him, as you wanted to do things on your own. But when it got extremely difficult, you gave in. How hard could it be to live with your best friend?

When you first asked yourself that, you didn’t really think anything of it. It was easy for the first few months. He was a clean person, kept things organized and had a great set up with his record player. That was one of the many things you adored about him. His love for music and the way he would always show you music you’ve never listened to. The way he’d cook breakfast early in the morning for you before the two of you went off to work. The way he’d say ridiculous jokes and laugh the hardest.

There wasn’t a thing you didn’t hate about him, or dislike. Sure, as best friends you’d annoy the shit out of each other from time to time. But, it never made you want to be without him. Even when times got rough, he was still there for you even if he was the one to make you upset. That was just the type of man Sam Wilson was; caring and the utmost loving human being. He’d gone through a lot, and that was an understatement.

Before The Snap even happened, you were scared you lost him forever. He was helping Steve find Bucky with some others and you had to stay on the sidelines, helping them find places of safety and running from everyone who wanted their hands on Bucky and them. You went months without seeing him because of that. And when The Snap happened, Steve came to you and explained everything. It hurt you because you knew that was going to happen: losing Sam.

Those five years were the longest years of your life. Family members dying, moving and you on your own in the apartment. It made a huge difference with the most warm person you knew was gone. Everything was cold and empty, no smile that could light up the room was there to be seen. No contagious laugh or someone to confide in. No more Sam. Although you two have been apart in life because he went on his tours, something was different about him being gone. No communication, no location. But still, the feeling you’d never see him again would linger in your heart, heavy on your mind. The picture frames were still there to remind you of him and all the memories you’ve shared.

Sometimes, staring at pictures of the two of you and listening to his favorite records made you cry. It made you regret that you never got to tell him you loved him. More than a friend, more than just because you were grateful for him. It was because you were utterly in love with your best friend.

For years, you couldn’t stand to be alone. And Sarah, his sister, knew how much you were suffering alone. No job, no immediate family around...so she made you pack up some stuff and move down to Delacroix to Sam’s childhood home. Sarah, and pretty much everyone who knew you and Sam, knew how you felt about him. And although you were oblivious to how Sam felt towards you, everyone knew how he felt about you. They all saw it. The way the two of you would brighten up either of you walked in a room. The way no one else took his place or yours.

During the five years he was gone, you would hang with Sarah and her kids. You were back and forth between D.C and Delacroix from time to time, whenever you could afford it. She never liked to ask for help, but you helped out because you wanted to. Sarah was a sister to you, and those kids were something special. Watching them grow up when Sam was gone, they reminded you of him. So did Sarah.

When Sam came back, there was no wasting time jumping in his arms. After the final war with Thanos (Sam told you everything about it), there was Tony’s funeral. Natasha’s. Everyone came together, including you. If that wasn’t enough to make things and everyone feel down, Steve left and it broke Bucky. Sam was in for a surprise when he was handed the shield.

For months, Bucky left and you and Sam went back to Delacroix. Although he went back into working after being pardoned, you worried for him and Bucky. You didn’t want them to overwork themselves and jump back in after fighting and running for so long.

But as you looked out for Sam, you realized he was okay. Even if you were worried about him every day (I mean come on, he’s your best friend), you knew that Sam was never to keep things bottled up. It was rare, but right now he told you he was fine but if he needed someone, he’d obviously come to you. As time went on, he went on missions. You stood back, working at home (in Sarah’s house) as a journalist for credible news sources in New York and D.C. Although you were grateful to have this family and them letting you stay, you were missing Sam too much. Sure, he wasn’t working everyday 24/7, but there were missions where he was gone an entire week.

After talking to him one night about it, he saw how concerned you were. He would change his schedule slightly, in order to make sure he wasn’t ever becoming work obsessed. He knew your family as a kid would be so invested in their careers, that you were somewhat neglected a childhood.

The things he’s done for you made you swoon for him. Sometimes, it made you feel guilty and selfish for asking for more time with your best friend. As you confided in him about little things like that, Sam would laugh and reassure you that you shouldn’t ever feel selfish or sorry for wanting him to be around.

He started taking it easy on work. Not only because you felt like he was working too much, but because the family business was struggling and he wanted to help out a lot more. This led to family time, which Sarah and you gossiped about while packaging plates for customers. Sarah would argue that Sam working is fine, and it’s better that he’s away from home. Although she understood your feelings for him (you didn’t think she knew, but Sarah had really good intuition), she didn’t want you or Sam to worry about the business, boat or home.

So yeah, he still kept taking time off work but that meant his missions were more tough and extremely longer than most. Even though that was a change, there were still those nights you both cherished. The ones where it was just you two, alone, staying up all night watching the classics you two both loved.

He caught you staring at him one night. Sitting on the couch together watching the third movie of the night. You stared at the way his smile made his cheek bones prominent, the way it reached his eyes. He would huff out laughs and his sculpted body would move up and down. You didn’t realize you were staring so hard, until he turned his head to react to a joke from the movie.

Your cheeks were set on fire and you were utterly embarrassed. The way his wide smile began to slowly fade as he watched your eyes glare down to his lips and back up to his eyes. Coughing, you quickly turned back to the screen with your breath hitching in your throat. You bit your lip and began bouncing your leg in anxiousness. Trying to watch the movie, you felt Sam’s stare burn through the side of your face.

“What?” Sam smirked.

“What?”

“What’s going on?” He asked softly. You didn’t answer, which makes him sigh and grab the remote so that the movie didn’t distract you. “Y/N?”

“Nothing. It’s nothing.” You stood up, hesitating whether or not you should head to bed or sit back down. “I’m gonna go to bed. I’m just exhausted.”

Sam had this thing about him. He knew when people were having a hard time, and he knew much better than to just let you walk away without letting you talk things out with him. He gripped on your wrist and pulled you down to the couch. You let out a tired sigh, and fell into his side.

“You gonna keep sighing or are you ever gonna tell me what’s wrong?”

“It’s been so hard these last few months.” You gulped, hoping it would stop you from being over emotional.

“You came back after all these years, fought against Thanos and Steve left the shield to you. And then you didn’t take it, so I thought maybe you would’ve taken it easy for a while. I worry about you every day, every time we’re not together. I kept trying to tell you every chance I had, but I scared. I got mad at myself for not telling you, but I was scared if I did I would ruin everything. I got mad at myself because I knew if I didn’t tell you, I could probably lose you one day on a mission and you’d never know…Sam, I-I’m-”

The nerves shoot up and down your body, making you anxious

“Hey, hey…” He pulled your hands from your face, making you look at him. “Tell me what? Is everything alright?”

Sam’s heart starts to drop in his stomach, worried that something was wrong and you didn’t tell him a thing about it.

“I’m in love with you. I really, always...truly love you.”

You spilled your heart out, embarrassingly so, you try to leave his grasp. But he doesn’t let you go. He wants to listen, he wants to make sure you know that he feels the same way. So, he does.

He said your name lovingly, “I love you.”

Stunned, you tilt your head trying to make sense of those three little words you had no idea he’d say to you...in that way. He waited for your response, biting back a smile as he thought it was cute that you were flustered.

“I can’t...you?”

“Talk it out, baby, that’s alright.”

You swooned at the nickname, your heart pounding against your chest. Leave it up to Sam Wilson to make you melt by just speaking.

“I can’t believe you love me.”

Sam laughed lovingly, “What? Why’s that?”

“Fuck, I said that out loud.” You hid your face in his chest. The heat rises into your cheeks as you squeezed his biceps in embarrassment. “Sam, I’m serious. I just-”

“Look at me.” He tugged on your waist. His hand had started to glide from your hip to your jaw, caressing it gently. “Come on, I’ve loved you since we were kids. I thought all the flirting and back and forth was obvious! I love you now and I’ll continue to love my girl forever.”

Your eyes shoot up to his.

“Yeah, my girl.” He smiled, his eyes flickering down to your lips and back to your eyes. “This explains a lot too.”

“What?”

“Never bringing home anyone. Dates, sure. But the fact that we both knew inside we couldn’t bring anyone home, or came up with excuses.”

“You came up with excuses not to bring anyone home? Or date people? Jesus, Sam...why?”

“You’re telling me you haven’t?” You shook your head at him. “I thought so.”

“But why?”

“You really gotta ask me why?” He sighed, raising his eyebrows in concern. “Oh baby. I was gone for a second, but I lost years and so did you. I can’t ever imagine how that must’ve been for you, or Sarah and the kids. I’ve been thinking a lot lately, more than ever, about how the life I had before Steve walked in my life. All the people we had to fight, and save and run for our lives….That was hard. Being away from you for so long that sucked.”

“It did. So, I guess we both know how it feels when we’re away from each other for so long.”

“Yeah, and that made me realize I don’t want to waste anymore time. I love you because it’s always been you. The people I’ve met, all those dates or whatever they were: it didn’t work because they weren’t you. No one can even amount to you.”

You shook your head, “No, Sam. I’m not that special-”

“Don’t do that. Don’t think you’re not. Don’t do that self deprecating thing, because I know you know how I’ve seen you. How Sarah sees you, how those kids look up to you. Shit, even Bucky sees you. He won’t return my calls or texts, but somehow you get through to him. You’re special. The way you have the strength to get up early in the morning with me before I head off to work. I mean, who would really wakes up at five in the morning for someone and they don’t gotta wake up for another four hours?”

“You’re the only person I’d wake up early for.”

“See. It’s little things like that.”

“What?” He squinted at you, a smirk playing on his face.

“I mean...no matter what you do, or where we are. I just, it’s those things that made me fall for you. Much to my surprise, I didn’t think I’d ever tell you. Or even hear those words come out of your mouth.”

“Why?”

“For starters, you’re my best friend and probably the closest thing I have to a family. I didn’t want to jeopardize that. Not only that but just...I’m just me.”

“That’s right. You’re just you.” Sam said, pulling you into him.

“That’s why I love you.” You shrugged. “You let people know that they’re good, that they’re beautiful.”

“You’re just as caring and filled with compassion.”

“Yeah, but there’s only one Sam Wilson.”

“That’s true.” Sam laughed. “And there’s only one you. That’s what makes you unique, and that’s what makes you the woman I love.”

“Sam.”

Everything about you, from the way you woke up with him in the early mornings, to late night movies, cooking together was things he loved about you. From the way you passionately spoke about the things and people you cared about. The way you fumble over your words during a joke always made him laugh. The way you would stay up for him after his long missions and work, to make sure he was physically and mentally alright.

It was the little things and the big things in life that you did that made his heart grow even fonder of you by the day. And now, now that he had you here in his hold confessing your love to him...he really couldn't believe it.

He moved one of his hands to hold on your waist, as you sat together on the couch. He loved the way you said his name. Whether it was Sam, or Samuel, or Wilson when you were angry...or even when you called him Falcon in amusement, his mind couldn’t keep up with his heart that kept beating faster everytime he was with you.

“Y/N…” He said, matching your tone.

“You always know the right things to say, huh?”

“Yeah, and the truth.”

“Can’t argue with that.”

He laughed, then moved his fingers on your waist to comfort you.

“Listen, I could list every damn thing and reason why I love you. Trust me, that list is endless. It’s always been you that’s made me feel things I’ve never felt for anyone, you know? The way you look in the morning, or anytime of day really. Your lips...whenever you’re concentrating on something you do that really damn cute scrunch of your face. You know, the one where your nose scrunches and your lips are pulled to the side. The way you listen to me. Whether it's my jokes, or going on and on about shit or just letting me open up to you. How could I not fall in love with my best friend?"

You closed your eyes, listening to the way he spoke. That’s another thing: his voice. Whether it was when he was joking around, or tired, or flirting...that voice made you feel more things for him than you’ve ever felt.

“Every, goddamn thing about you is what I love. Because it’s you.”

Suddenly, you felt his hand on your cheek and you open your eyes to stare up at him.

“You’re really warm.”

“You have that affect on me.”

“I know I do.”

You rolled your eyes at his confident flirting. Before you could even respond, his other hand is cupping your jaw. His lips gently grazed yours, slowly waiting for you to make the next move. But the fluttering in your stomach made you too nervous to even move. He caught on and with a faint smile, he leaned in more. You felt like you were frozen, in a dream. Your mind is still caught up in the ‘holy fuck my best friend, sam fucking wilson is kissing me.’ After a few seconds, he pulled away to rest his forehead on yours.

It stood silent between you too. Sam waiting for you to relax and realize what had just happened. He lets out a breathy laugh when he felt your hands start tugging on his shirt, asking him to come forward again. Your lips are instantly on his, and you finally feel it. The connection that pulls you into him, the love that you’ve felt for him for years.

Those butterflies in your stomach flutters up into your heart. Everything you’ve read, watched or heard suddenly starts to become true. There’s this wholesome feeling knowing you’re finally kissing this man you’ve had a crush on since you were kids. But then, there’s this loving and intense feeling that pulses throughout your body. His mouth opens slightly, allowing you to explore his. The nerves start up again, but you push them away once you feel confident enough.

Your lips detach from his for a second, and you both let out each others names in a low whisper. He felt it too. The way you were both vulnerable around each other more than other time. The way you both finally got those feelings off your chest, speaking them to each other.

Sam kissed you once more, just a peck but enough to make you feel weak all over. It was soft, but you felt him giving his all to you. And as he pulled away, it left you breathless and clinging tightly on his thick biceps.

“The things you do to me.”

“I could say the same thing.”

You leave a kiss on the side of his mouth, to tease him and for your own satisfaction. No words are spoken for the rest of the night. It gave you and Sam the opportunity to relax into each others arms.The two of you let out a relieved laugh, falling back into the couch together. He lets his hand wander from your head, down to your back, soothing you and making sure you know everything that had just happened was real. If you had the option of kissing him for the rest of your life, you would.

But right now, being in his arms and knowing that he loves you back, can suffice.

MASTERLIST OF THE STORY

Chapter 35: Sigyn.

It had been a few months since Loki and Y/N told everyone that they were together. They had grown closer, if that was even possible. She also had grown closer with the team, bonding on missions and in the day to day life activities. Tony had taken a while off of missions, since Pepper was almost seven months pregnant and he wanted to be with her. Y/N had mastered the art of doing magic, being able to do cool things now, not only the basics; cool things like making Thor fall asleep or creating an illusion of her with pink hair. Even though the sky breakers were not caught yet, and they heard that Sarah had not died, but was on the run, life was good. And normal. As normal as it can be when you are living with The Avengers. Until Strange showed up.

She was currently sitting on the couch with Loki, reading a book as the Original Six were hanging around there too.

“There is a threat on Earth and it's been following you, Y/N.” He said as soon as he entered.

“W-what do you mean?” She asked, beginning to feel terrified. She looked at Loki and he squeezed her hand to reassure her. And himself.

“Look,” he opened his hands ready to do his magic when Tony stopped him.

“Wait, what are you gonna do? Bring the threat here?” The sorcerer looked at him, serious.

“Yes.”

“I don't think that's a good idea.” Bruce said.

“The threat does not seem to want to hurt Y/N, they would have already done it. It's been happening for weeks now.”

“Excuse me, someone has been following her for weeks and you did not think to let us know?” Loki asked now, his anger bubbling up inside him.

“I thought it best to know the threats' true intentions before making you all worried for nothing. It could just be an admirer.”

“And what made you tell us now?” Y/N asked him.

“I know who it is.”

“Who is it?”

“It's better if you see for yourself.” He told her before moving his hands to use his magic. Suddenly, a portal opened and someone fell from it.

“Ouch!” The woman said.

“Tell us who you are.” Strange demanded. “And why you have been following Y/N.” The woman got up from the floor.

“I am Sigyn, from Asgard, Freyjadottir.” She answered, straightening up. “And who is Y/N?”

“I am,” Y/N said.

“You are not Y/N, you are Astrid from Asgard, Freyjadottir, and my sister.”

“WHAT?!” Everyone asked, except for Y/N, who just looked at her. Suddenly she burst out laughing. They all looked at her with confused expressions on their faces.

“Of course!” She exclaimed, still laughing. “My sister is freaking Sigyn of Asgard and I am the daughter of the Völva. Right. Makes sense.”

“I am telling the truth.” She said, almost offended.

“I'm not saying you are not, I'm just saying you have mistaken me for another person.”

“No, I have not. I can sense your magic, mother told me one day I would be able to recognize you by that alone.”

“Mother?” Y/N asked, a bit more seriously now.

“Yes, Freyja.”

“Where is she?”

“She's in Valhalla now…”

“How do I know you are telling the truth?” She asked, pursing her lips.

“You can have him enchant you and see into your memories, mother should have left at least one.” Sigyn said motioning to Loki.

“You know me?” He asked her.

“Well, of course. Mother used to tell me a lot about you and the royals.”

“Why don't I remember you?”

“I was vanished when you were a child.” She responded, her confidence wavering a bit.

“For what?” Strange asked her now.

“I will tell you all everything, but first I need Astrid to believe me.”

“Y/N.” She told her firmly. “My name is Y/N.”

“Right, of course.”

“Loki?” Y/N called him. “Do you… Can you do it?”

“I can darling but… I'm going to see everything, are you okay with that?” She thought for a moment. Every single memory she ever had, he was going to see. She had told him about her life before coming to this universe, but him seeing it was different. Was she ready for that? She looked at Loki and then at Sigyn and decided.

“I'm okay with it, but I'm sorry.” The god frowned.

“Sorry for what?”

“You'll see.” She told him.

Everyone quieted down as Loki closed his eyes and placed his fingers on each temple. When he started using his magic, she felt it. Suddenly she was seeing things she hadn't thought about for years. Conversations with friends, fights with family members, crying alone in her room at night, laughing at herself, laughing with her brother, singing in front of the mirror. All her life flashed through her mind in a matter of seconds. After a few moments, she felt Loki stop on one memory. It was all black, like she was inside of a tunnel. The echo of a heartbeat could be heard. She didn't remember that one.

“Hello my baby, you are so beautiful.” A woman's voice rang out. “My little Astrid. My goddess of strength and wisdom.” The woman sighed. “I am terribly sorry for leaving you, I hope one day you will be able to forgive me... Do not cry, your mother loves you. You will be a hero, my love. The prophecy must come true.”

“Mom! What are you doing?”

“Talking to your sister.” She simply said, “You will remember this when the time is right.” She whispered to her.

Suddenly Loki pulled his hands away and stared at her wide eyed while she still had her eyes closed. When she opened them, she got up from the couch.

“I need a moment.” And with that she left.

...

What the hell, what the hell, what the hell, what the hell just happened? Y/N repeated in her mind as she ran to her room. Once she entered she slammed the door shut.

...

“How long have you known this?” Loki asked Strange.

“A week after she started following her. But I've known since I met her that she was not mortal.”

“How?” Steve asked, finally speaking up after being silent for the entirety of the reveal.

“The magic she possesses, it's very strong.” The sorcerer said. “A mortal's body could not contain it.”

...

She felt it again, every emotion she ever felt, penting up inside her. She couldn't go back again, she couldn't.

...

“Maybe I should go talk to her.” Sigyn said, resolved.

“That is the last thing you should do. I will go.” Loki told her and no one stopped him. They knew that he was the only one she would want to see at that moment.

...

She grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil.

...

Loki knocked on her door, but when no one answered, not even after minutes of calling her, he decided to enter anyway. He felt panic rise in his throat when he saw that the room was empty, and a complete mess. He almost went to tell the others that she had escaped when he stopped, seeing a piece of paper with something written on the floor. He picked it up and read it.

“I can't stop it. I'm going back.”

Sian do you have any fears about the fatws? I feel silly for mine but I can't help it. I'm really hoping it's everything I've been hoping for.

Hey. Y’know, your fears aren’t silly. It’s what happens when you care about something.

Truthfully, the only time I was sure a Marvel project was going to be everything I was hoping for was Black Panther. That was mainly because I trusted Ryan Coogler. I want to trust Malcolm Spellman the same way. I hope that he, as a Black man, will have delved into the Truth: Red, White & Black comic book story arc focusing on Isaiah Bradley. Not just touch on it. I want to see it explored in depth and to really critique the mantle of Captain America; speak the truth on awful eugenics experiments that were occurring; and focus on how Sam’s race informs his decisions on taking up the mantle. Sam is not just the good-looking guy with the sunglasses; the quips; and the wings. He is a Black man in America and there are conversations that need to happen. I hope the show steps up in that regard.

As you would know from following me, Anon, I am a huge 616 Sam Wilson fan. I would hate it if FATWS didn’t incorporate some of Sam’s personality and beliefs in the show.

I love that Bucky’s getting therapy. That’s long over due, but it will absolutely shit me if the show doesn’t address what T’Challa, Shuri, and Wakanda did for Bucky. If FATWS just glosses over the fact that he spent two peaceful years in Wakanda in recovery, then that’s a slap in the face to the legacy of Black Panther and what Ryan Coogler did (he is the only one I trust with Bucky).

I guess this is more of a list of what I am hoping for. My fears are more to do with fandom, to be honest. I have been in fandom long enough to know how it’s going to pan out. It’s like Danai Gurira said, and I am paraphrasing, but you put a dude or a white person in a story, and everyone focusses on them. What I’m saying is I know Sam will be sidelined by a lot of content creators and fans in his own show because people will focus more on Bucky (and Zemo and whoever else).

I love Bucky. He is one of my favourite characters ever. In Earth-616, his return was not even going to happen. Did you know that Bucky Barnes was meant to be a character like Uncle Ben? He was a character that had to die so that the main character (Cap and Spidey etc.) would have purpose. They were characters that were never, ever meant to be resurrected. It took decades for any writers to even come up with ANY idea to have Bucky return that wasn’t shot down by Stan Lee and co. True story. He was not meant to be brought back. But Brubaker did it. And his return as the Winter Soldier came with a really excellent and compelling critique of the military; of how we treat vets; on geopolitics; and a whole range of other things that comic narratives weren’t touching on at the time. He is an amazing character.

616 Sam Wilson’s journey to becoming Captain America is an amazing story. His line from the books, again I am paraphrasing, about Steve’s Cap representing what’s great about America, and Sam’s Cap being about the people America forgot about is one of the best things written anywhere in any medium. He is a phenomenal character.

Together, characters like Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes just existing how they do bring together some of the best story arcs in comic books ever. Some of the best critiques on power structures; the military complex; the people who are forgotten (vets and POC); detrimental implications of nationalism etc.

FATWS has so much potential for me in this regard. I am a little worried that these things that I love about Sam and Bucky won’t shine through in the story they are telling with the series. I am all for the banter and their dynamic that we have seen in the MCU. I love it as much as the next fan. I just hope that some of the great things from their respective 616 characterisations are included, too.

I could go on and on about this, but I’ve already written too much. Ha!

I really can’t wait, though.

@mythandmagik

Pulling up to the compound you weren’t sure what you expected, but surprisingly you were a lot calmer than you had anticipated. You hadn’t seen most of the team in the 4 years since you moved to the SHIELD office in DC and you were excited but so much had changed. You took a deep breath and grabbed your bags before exiting the car and heading inside.

Tony greeted you immediately with a huge hug, it always amazed you how calming his hugs would make you, you pulled away after a quick kiss to the cheek and followed him through the compound. “Your accommodations are right this way” he told you with a smirk. “Wow, billionaire, genius and bellhop? I wasn’t expecting that” you giggled.

“I expect a good tip” Tony remarked as you followed him to the elevator. “How about I pay you with kisses from your favorite niece?” you asked as you pressed a kiss to your daughters head “once she wakes up that is” “That is perfect payment! She looks even bigger than when i last saw her” he mentioned gazing at her as you all headed out of the elevator.

“Morgan has been asking all week when you were arriving, I think there is a tea party scheduled for this afternoon”

“Well, that works for me, I’m honestly surprised she’s still sleeping. What time is the briefing?” you asked as you headed into the apartment followed by Kevin, carrying your bags, and Tony.

“About 10 minutess, I can push it back if you need to settle in but I thought you might want to rip the band aid off, so to speak” he smirked. “No, Kevin will be here with her, I can freshen up quick and be on our way” you smiled as you settled your daughter in the crib Tony had waiting for you. “GIve me 5 minutes, and I’ll be ready” you headed into the bathroom to wash up quickly.

Chatting with Tony on the way to the conference room felt like you had never left, you loved working with him and missed seeing him on a daily basis, but you had actually grown much closer to him since you had moved away. You took a deep breath before entering the room and looked around to all the Avengers eagerly awaiting Tony’s arrival and the start of the meeting.

“Ok, we can start, Special Agent Y/L/N, will be running the show” Tony announced as he made his way to the head of the table. You smiled looking around the room, your eyes landing on his before you walked in and got to work. Clearing your throat you began handing out the briefing you created “this is my surveillance notes for Mr. Dick Roman over the last 4 years, he has various aliases depending on what country he is in, but no matter where he is, he leaves a mess in his path when he leaves”

“Hold up, you are not coming in here and talking about so whack job, being all Ms Business without even a proper hello” You chuckled “I’m sorry Wilson, I wanted to get through the briefing so that we can properly form a plan before getting into personal greetings, but if you need a hug Sammy, I am more than willing to oblige” you stated as you walked towards him.

“Damn right I do” Sam responded while pulling you into a bone crushing hug “and it’s Special Agent now, huh? Running up the ranks in DC, I see” he winked at you as he placed a kiss on your forehead. “What can I say? I guess they like me” you shrugged as you stepped back.

“And who wouldn’t” Steve quipped as he pulled you into a hug “we all miss you” he whispered in your ear before kissing your cheek. “Thanks Steve” you turned toward Bucky who was awkwardly standing behind you.

“Got a hug for me, doll?” he asked almost as if he was afraid of you. “Of course, Bucky” you hugged him and as soon as he touched you, all the months of incredible memories between the two of your flashed in your mind as if they were just yesterday.

You took a deep breath before releasing him “you look good, Buck, I like the short hair” you smiled before being pulled into a triple hug with Wanda and Nat. Laughing immediately when they started tickling you. “Ok, please stop” you squeal. “And this is why I was wanting to get through the documents first” you shook your head and got back to work.

It was only about an hour later when you all decided to break for lunch and head to the common area. You heard crying as soon as the elevator doors opened and knew the inevitable had happened. Rushing into the room you find Kevin trying to rock Joy in his arms, trying to calm her down. Reaching over you rubbed her back, when she looked up and whimpered “mama!’

“I’m sorry, she woke up a few minutes ago and was a bit disoriented, we tried reading a book and singing but she wasn’t having any of it” Kevin told you with a sympathetic smile. “It’s ok, I figured the new space might be a bit confusing. You’re ok, right, Joy?” you asked as she climbed in your lap and wrapped her arms around your neck. Mumbling something in your neck you couldn’t understand, but you heard her sniffles and the attempt to regulate her breathing.

“It’s ok, mama’s here now” you hummed in her hair as you rubbed her back. Looking up you came across a variety of faces, some confused, some shocked and some in awe of the sweet moment. “Sweetie, do you want to meet mommy’s friends?” you ask hoping the change in subject will help calm her down. She huffed a no in your neck and tightened her grip.

“Oh, but uncle Tony is here and he said that Morgan wants to have a tea party, but you can’t do that clinging to my neck” you told her softly. She pulled away to look at you “unca-to-ee an mogan uh heew” you hummed confirmation before she slowly turned around to the room full of people watching your interaction. She gasped when she saw Tony “unca-to-ee! An Nat!” she shouted before climbing down and running to her two favorite Avengers.

“Thank you Kevin. You can enjoy the rest of your day in the city, I got it from here” you patted his leg and rose from the couch to follow Joy over to the group. “You’re sure? I don’t mind sticking around” he responded only for you to quirk an eyebrow at him “of course you’re sure, I’m out, call me if you need me” he responded shaking his head at the fact that he questioned you.

“So, everyone, this is Joy, Joy sweetie, these are mommy’s friends” you told her “can you say hi?” “Hi fwens” she shouted as she waved at everyone. “I hungee, can i hav a nack?” she asked as she looked up at Nat. “Of course you can! Let’s see what we can find” she told her before sweeping her up in her arms and heading to the kitchen, Wanda and Tony following behind. Bucky, Sam and Steven were still in a bit of shock.

“You have a daughter” Steve stated “She’s adorable, Y/N, she looks just like you” Sam told you with a wink before heading to the kitchen. “Thanks, she is a handful, but completely worth it” you responded with a soft smile.

“How old is she?” Bucky asks, almost frightened of the answer. “She just turned two last month” you smile remembering the fun little party you threw for her. “So she’s not…” he started to say but trailed off, with a look that you didn’t recognize, not sure if it was relief or disappointment.

“No, Bucky, she isn’t yours, I would have told you if that was a possibility” you respond softly. “Sure” he states before looking at his feet. “Yes, if i was pregnant with your child, I would have told you” you were defensive now, that he would think otherwise. “I can’t do this right now, I thought we could work together and be civil but I guess I was wrong” you state as you head towards the kitchen hearing him mumble something under his breath you stop in your tracks. Turning toward him you walk over slowly, as if you were afraid to spook an animal ‘what did you say? I couldn’t hear you” He took a deep breath before looking at you “I said go, that’s what you’re good at” And just like that you were transported back to the day when everything in your relationship crashed

“Doll, we need to talk?” he stated as he sat down next to you on the couch. “Okay, what’s going on Bucky?” “I really care about you Y/N, but I don’t think this is working, I think it’s best if we go back to being just friends” he tells you, barely looking you in the eye. “Oh…. and why the change? I thought things were good” you respond trying to keep yourself from crying . “Nothing changed, it’s just not working” he responds again remaining vague and just expecting you to agree.

“Is there someone else?” you whisper knowing that something had to have prompted him to dump you after dating for the last 6 months, the best 6 months of your life, but apparently not his. “No, there’s no one else, I wouldn’t do that to you” he tells you reaching for your hand to comfort you but you pull away.

“Come on Bucky, we’ve been friends for years, I’ve seen the women you’ve been with, I’m not stupid” you spat at him, knowing there was always a prettier woman on his arm the moment he got bored with what you used to refer to as his flavor of the month. “There is no one else, Y/N, I promise you” he’s nearly pleading with you to believe him. You shake your head as you stand up, the tears rolling down your cheeks now, but you don’t care.

“That’s actually worse, you’d rather be alone than with me” you chuckle humorlessly as you head toward the elevator, you had to get out of here before breaking down completely. “Don’t touch me!” you screech as he lays his hand on your shoulder.

“Doll, I’m sorry, but I still want to be friends, we’ve been friends for years, I still care about you” he tries to console you but at this point you feel so rejected that you want nothing but to get away from him.

“I don’t care what you want, you certainly don’t care about me” you yell just as Sam, Steve and Nat come in to see what the yelling is about. “What’s going on?” Steven asked, looking concerned.

"Nothing important, just your friend getting rid of his latest fling" you bitterly spit out as you glare at Bucky. "Have a nice life Barnes" then you are stepping into the elevator just as Natasha comes in before the doors close. You start sobbing and she pulls you into a hug.

"What the hell man?" Sam asks as Bucky drops his head and leaves the room.

"You are the one that ended us, don't make me be the bad guy for taking a job out of town to try and get over you" you tell him barely above a whisper. Bucky looks at you with regret "I messed up, but I find out from Nat that you aren't even in the state any more. I didn't get a chance to fix things, to fix us" he tells you reaching out for you.

You just shake your head "Fix us? When were you planning on doing that? Between which supermodel did you even remember my name?" you spat as his eyes widened. "Not even a week after you were done with me did I have to see you with another one of your flings, so don’t stand there and pretend like you wanted to fix anything. You got bored, like you always do, and you tossed me aside.”

“That’s what you think? I got bored and moved on?” he questioned looking hurt. “What else am I supposed to think, Bucky? You gave me no explanation, nothing. You were just done with me. So, yes, I took a job at the SHIELD office in DC so that i didn’t have to watch the man I loved parade around all the beautiful women who were just waiting in line for their turn” you tell him as you think back on making the decision to leave all of your friends and colleagues in NY.

“Loved? As in past tense?” he questioned.

“Yes, honestly Bucky, we knew each other for so long that when we started dating, I thought you were it for me. You knew all my baggage and dirty secrets and you still wanted to be with me, that had to mean something, right? But it wasn’t meant to be” you whisper and feel the tears pricking the back of your eyes.

“We still could, we could start over, I owe you an explanation, but it’s not too late” he tells you, pleading for you to give him a second chance.

To say you were shocked by his statement would be an understatement, you hadn’t spoken in 4 years and now he wants a second chance but before you can respond, Joy comes running back in the room. “Mama, com on, is yunch time!” she says as she grabs your hand and pulls you toward the kitchen.

Lunch was more relaxing than you expected, especially after the short conversation you had with Bucky. This isn’t what you expected today, not that you really knew what to expect but him asking for a second chance after all this time, really surprised you. By the time lunch was over, Joy had more energy than normal, she was quickly acclimating to her new surroundings and loving all the extra attention.

Walking over to Bucky after cleaning up your plate “Look, we should talk, but this mission takes priority. When Roman is under lock and key, you and I can sit down and try to restore our friendship, but until then, we need to remain professional and leave our personal lives out of this.” Bucky only nodded in return as he watched you pick up your daughter and head out of the room.
