Bloom!Verse Masterlist

It's been three years since the birth of this enormous series. I never thought a oneshot (which became eight chapters) could lead me to such character development and world building, but here we are. And I'm still writing, the muse hasn't died, and I'm not nearly finished (or ever will be). The lore is ✨ infinite ✨ So I thought I'd make an updated masterpost— in chronological order (as it's been written in reverse)— for the new year. Aster should be finished by the late spring and then I'll likely start the wedding fic 😉 I still have dozens of ideas for this series, it's insane. In fact, I have a poly fic in the works, I just need to continue and finish it 😋

🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷

Shelves of Aster - 96k (WIP)

Tags: Alternative Universe - Bookstore, Sugar Daddy, Meet Cute, First Meetings, Age Difference, Falling In Love, Healthy Relationships, Experienced Dom/Inexperienced Sub Snippet: Their eyes lock the second Steve pulls back slightly. They gaze at each other for what feels like forever, as if a magical force is drawing them in, closer, and closer until neither of them can ignore the tension surrounding them. Steve’s breath puffs against Bucky’s lips when he speaks, “Can I kiss you?”

Peach and Lemon Blossoms - 1k (oneshot)

Tags: Established Relationship, Office Sex, Implied Top Steve/Bottom Bucky, PWP Snippet: Bucky has always fantasized about office sex, and always found the risk to be a bit thrilling. He made sure to lock the door before he came inside, so there wasn’t a chance of anyone walking in on them, though there was still a possibility someone could knock.

Rose Blue - 60k, 8 chapters (complete)

Tags: Established Relationship, Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, 24/7 D/S relationship dynamic, Kinky Husbands In Love, a whole bunch of smut tags Snippet: Steve smiles at Bucky before he reaches across the dresser, to the dedicated spot where they keep their accessories and things. Draped around a velvet bust is a sterling silver choker, the petite chain link gleaming in the soft lamplight. Beside the bust is a ring boat containing a wedding band that matches the one attached to the choker’s oval pendant, curved downward. Blue accent roses decorate the gold tinted sides, a crystal stone shining in the center with leaves tucked throughout.

Dreams of Poppy Fields (3 times Bucky pretended to be asleep and 1 time Steve caught him) - 4.8k (oneshot)

Tags: Established Relationship, Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, Fluffy and Smut, Light Angst, Possessive Steve Snipppet: Steve kneels down to pry the trowel out of Bucky’s hand from where he’d been tending to the garden. He slides Bucky’s stained gardening gloves off and tosses them aside, out of Dum-E’s reach. It isn’t the first time he’s had to carry Bucky to bed, and it surely won’t be the last, so Steve sees no problem in picking him up.

A Mug Filled with Pink Irises - 2.3k (oneshot)

Tags: Established Relationship, Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, Kitchen Sex Snippet: Steve crosses his legs, fixated on Bucky’s exposed collar bone from the low-cut neckline. Peppering kisses to his husband’s neck, not to mention sucking on the most sensitive spots, has always been his favorite part about foreplay.

Dark Dahlias at the Annual Potts/Romanov Costume Party - 6.5k (oneshot)

Tags: Established Relationship, Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, Halloween, Humor, House Party, Domestic Fluff, Pepper Potts/Natasha Romanov Snippet: “Give me your best sexual pick-up line,” Bucky says, one-hundred percent intending to use it on Steve, if Nat doesn’t beat him to it. Clint leans against the counter, scratching his head in thought. Dressed as Fred Jones is truly uncanny for this particular moment. “I’m peanut butter. You’re jelly. Let’s have sex?”

Wild Amaranth Desires - 5.1k (oneshot)

Tags: Established Relationship, Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, Roleplay, Cages, Leashes, Blink and you'll miss it mention of a threesome Snippet: Bassy music thrums through the walls, the sound rushing in and around the small, closed-off area. A few multi-colored lights gently strobe in the background, occasionally highlighting over the cage that sits in the middle of the room.

Amaryllis in Baskets - 1.3k (oneshot)

Tags: Established Relationship, Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, PWP, Dirty Talk, Cooking Snippet: Now here they are, Steve finishing up lunch while Bucky sits at the breakfast table with the warm, afternoon sun slipping through the curtains.

His Precious Primrose - 4.1k (oneshot)

Tags: Established Relationship, Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, Christmas, PWP, Aftercare Snippet: Steve takes the steps one at a time, his cotton, calf-length robe grazing the railing. Once at the bottom, he strolls through the hallway and into the kitchen, passing the dining room while on his way. He walks slowly, with no rush at all, when a gift wrapped up in front of the lit fireplace slips into the corner of his vision.

Identical Mauve Carnations - 3.6k (oneshot)

Tags: Established Relationship, Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, Dream Sequence, Wet Dream, Self-cest, Bucky/Bucky, Winter Soldier Bucky Snippet: “It’s been a while since I’ve been with a pretty thing like you,” James purrs, reaching up to brush a metal knuckle over Bucky’s cheek. “Think you can handle being with me?”

🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷🥀🌷

Because I know not everyone reads threesomes, I've listed the rest under the cut (and this post is long enough) 😉

Cattails In the Rogers-Barnes Household (A Scavenger Hunt for Lube, 5 +1) - 12k, 2 chapters (complete)

Tags: Married Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, Threesomes, Pre-Poly, Dom Loki, Switch Loki Snippet: Loki vaults themself forward and successfully closes the door without alerting anyone. They scan the room slowly, spotting every little detail. The desk is rather tidy, however, the sitting area is the polar opposite. Magazines are scattered across the floor, throw pillows shoved to the side, and overall just in a disarray. What really catches their eye is the pair of leather cuffs poking out between the cushions, along with a thin strap for a blindfold.

A Toy to Share, Restrained by Coriander - 6.7k (oneshot)

Tags: Threesomes, Pre-Poly, BDSM scene Snippet: Loki pushes off of the wall from where they’d been leaning, arms no longer crossed, and takes a couple of long, determined steps. Bucky cranes his neck up due to Loki’s height, just an odd number of inches taller than him. Both of their gazes are locked in on each other, eyes unmoving while Loki curves a single finger under Bucky’s jaw.

Strangled by Thoughts of Poison Ivy (Bucky Rogers-Barnes and the No Good, Very Bad Week) - 9.2k (oneshot)

Tags: Pre-Poly, Scene Gone Wrong, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Angst Snippet: Steve doesn't think, he just reacts, his body moving on its own as he scrambles to loosen the straps holding Bucky in before he hurts himself. The second they loosen even a fraction, Bucky breaks free, scrambling rapidly backward off of the bench, his back slamming into the wall behind them. Steve tries to catch him but Bucky pulls his arm away, and god, it feels like a stab to the heart to watch Bucky curl on himself like a wounded animal.

Honeysuckles Growing on the Window Sill - 22k, 5 chapters (complete)

Tags: Threesomes, Feelings Realization, Friends to Lovers, Relationship Discussions, Fluff and Smut Snippet: Steve’s face turns serious, absolute fondness written in his expression. “Without a doubt in my mind. You were so beautiful for me,” he says, voice turning soft as he tucks a loose strand of Loki’s hair behind their ear. “I really like you, Loki. We like you.”

Lobelias in the Meeting Room - 4k (oneshot)

Tags: Threesomes, Polyamory, Light Angst, Fluff and Smut Snippet: Loki follows Steve with their eyes, holding their gaze until Steve comes to a stop near them, leaning against his desk with his arms crossed. They regard Bucky with a soft look before capturing his lips, inhaling through their nose as arousal swells in their stomach.

A Threatening Snakeroot (Hidden in the Crowd) - 7.1k (oneshot)

Tags: Threesomes, Polyamory, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Sex Club Snippet: As Bucky is led down the hallway, taking an immediate right, Loki directs him over to the side of the bar. There’s a square pedestal off to the side, which was added the same day Bucky received his pillow. A sign on the left of it read, ‘Pet on Display,’ while on the right it said, ‘ Display Only - Do Not Touch.’ It was a nice little spot to watch people come and go, and was close enough to the bar that Val could help keep an eye out for him if Loki and Steve weren't nearby.

Succulent Strawberries, Dangling from the Branches - 1.6k (oneshot)

Tags: Threesomes, Polyamory, Fluff and Smut, Domestic, Bookstores Snippet: The warmth of Steve’s breath causes a shiver to travel through Bucky’s back. He lets out a whine upon the slender hand urging him back inside, his legs going into autopilot mode as his doms tower over him. The door shuts with an audible click, followed by the window shades rolling down and blocking the evening sunlight.

The First Sprouts of Spring - 1.6k (oneshot-- recently switched to complete since my brain had other ideas back in 2021)

Tags: Threesomes, Polyamory, Fluff and Smut, Cuddling & Snuggling Snippet: As Steve steps onto the porch for a few pieces of wood, Loki strolls over to the closet and takes out some blankets. They return to find Steve rearranging the furniture, pushing the two couches together, creating a square hollow. They promptly hand the stack of blankets to Steve at his instruction, then head back to check up on Bucky.

To Think That We Could Stay the Same

https://archiveofourown.org/works/50084125 by olicreates Peter Parker's life is going in ways he never expected. His aunt finds out about his after-school activities (AKA Spider-Man), he finally lands an actual internship, and they move into a... new place... in Midtown Manhattan. Maybe May won't burn down the kitchen on the first day, somehow. Tony Stark's a mess. He won't admit it, but he misses his team. He wants everyone back together, if only so he can pretend they're friends, yet again. In the meantime, he hangs out with a teenager for some reason. It's not because he genuinely enjoys the company-- Pete's just smart, okay? Tony doesn't have a soft spot for the kid. He doesn't. Steve didn't mean for everything to go this way. He just wants Bucky and his friends safe. He wants to go back home, fix the mess he created, preferably without getting locked in a prison. He longs for a chance to make up for the things he did. To build a life. ------------ The Avengers get back together again. Eventually. Accompanied by a certain Spider-Kid.

MASTERLIST OF THE STORY

Chapter 26: Where is Y/N?

“You are cheating!”

“I am not!” Sarah said in a mocking tone.

“Come on! You can't even pretend you're not laughing at me.” That made her let out a laugh and pull some cards from her sleeve.

“Fine. You win.”

“Of course I do,” Y/N said with a smug expression and her friend rolled her eyes.

“Whatever.” She got up from the couch. “Do you want some ice cream?”

“Yes please!” Y/N responded dramatically, as if she hadn't eaten a few hours ago. “We can watch the new season of Lucifer if you want”

“Sure,” she answered, handing her the ice cream. “For you milady.” Y/N snorted.

“Shut up.” Sarah made a fake offense expression and she laughed, making the blonde laugh with her too. She missed having these fun and light moments with a girlfriend.

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

“Where is Y/N?” Tony entered the living area in a panicky state. Everyone turned to him.

“She's at her friend's house, she had a sleepover last night.” Natasha said, confused.

“I need to go get her now.” He said, growing more distraught by the second.

“Tony, what is it?” Bruce asked, worried about his friend and Y/N too. But the billionaire seemed to be too caught up in his own thoughts to answer, looking frantically at his tablet and mumbling something under his breath.

“F.R.I.D.A.Y call Loki now! Tell him to come to the living area. It's urgent.”

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

“Mr. Loki, Mr. Stark is calling for you at the living area. He says it's urgent.”

Loki rolled his eyes, what could the tin-man want that was so urgent?

“He says it is about Y/N.” The AI said and he immediately got up from his sitting position on the bed and threw the book he was reading to the side, heading to the door.

“Where is Y/N?” He asked as soon as he entered. He did not know why, but something in his stomach was twisting, as if it knew something was wrong. Stark turned to him, his face completely panic-stricken.

“Tony, for god's sake explain!” Captain Rogers said, now getting as nervous as everyone else.

“I was investigating Sarah, her new friend, and before you say anything, I had to do it, for security reasons. We are huge targets for enemies out there, we need to be extra careful.” His tablet bipped.

“Stark, my patience is wearing thin. Spit it out.” Loki said, trying to swallow the knot in his throat. He looked up from the device.

“Her real name is Ingrid Müller, she is the daughter of Oscar Müller and Oksana Petrov, one of the founders of the Sky Breakers, the organization we tried to take down after they attacked us.” Loki felt his blood run cold. Y/N was in danger.

“Where is she now?” He asked, barely containing the fear in his tone.

“That's what I was doing. I have Ingrid's address here.” He said, lifting the tablet to show them.

“We need to go now.” Rogers said and no one argued. “Tony, Loki and I are going to go get her, you all stay here and prepare yourselves in case anything happens. And let everyone know the current situation, so they are ready.” Everyone nodded and soon enough, the three men found themselves on the quinjet, heading to “Sarah's” apartment.

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

It was a PH. They tried to be as cautious and silent as they could entering it. Steve knocked on “Sarah's” door, but no one answered. He looked at Loki and Tony and they both lifted their chins up and nodded.

The soldier kicked the door open and the three of them entered. They were not shocked to see the apartment empty, they were expecting it, all the calls at Y/N's phone probably gave them away.

“Where are they?” He asked.

“Not here.” Tony said, more scared than he ever felt in his life.

The three of them looked around the apartment. Loki entered the bedroom and saw the worst thing he could have ever seen.

“Here!” He shouted. Both men appeared and looked at the scene, petrified. There was blood on the floor, the room was a complete mess and the window leading to the stairs was open. Tony noticed something on the floor and he crouched to get a better look. He sighed.

“Y/N's phone.” In that moment Loki knew, the very thing he feared most had happened. “They have her.”

Title: Hold Me Steady (I'll Give You Strength)

Posting: The week of August 7th

Author: Emma M @emmalostinwonderland​ [AO3]

Artist: LouiKazooie @s0mesugar​ [AO3]

Rating: Explicit

Pairings: Captain America Steve Rogers/Modern Bucky Barnes, Rebecca Barnes/Male OC

Summary:

Bucky Barnes returns home from his job with the US embassy in Russia with a bullet wound, a fresh case of PTSD, and ever increasing agoraphobic tendencies. For Steve Rogers it's love at first sight, but he has a secret that has the potential to tear the two of them apart. Between therapy appointments, sudden work trips, and a meddling sister, will they be able to make it work?

Excerpt:

“Alright, we’re getting close to wrapping-up time. Ready for homework?” Sam uncrosses his legs and sits forward in his armchair. The room is nice, nothing like the doctor’s office Bucky had expected when he arrived at their first in-person therapy session. There’s bookshelves lining the room filled with things ranging from philosophical texts like What We Owe to Each Other and A Treatise on Human Nature to books on military aircraft and airplane schematics to popular children’s novels. Bucky even noticed a copy of Ender’s Game on one shelf once, and he sometimes entertains the idea of bringing copies of the sequels for Sam to add to the collection.

Bucky refocuses on Sam’s face and takes a breath. “If I have to, sure.”

“Funny. Alright, this week I’d like you to find one place to take a thirty minute walk. Even if it’s a lap around your block, you need some sunshine, fresh air, and exposure to other people. It’s awesome that you’re spending more time with your sister and you stopped getting groceries delivered, but you gotta start easing yourself out of your apartment more.”

“Sam-”

“Nope. I know what you’re thinking, and it’s only a half hour outside between this session and next, my man. You can put your headphones on, leave your hood up. Mask up, maybe? No need to interact, just get a little sunlight. Visit a dog park, count the pizza joints on your street, I don’t care.”

Bucky squirms on the couch. “I… yeah, okay. Can I bring Becca with me?”

Sam smiles. “For sure. Just don’t let her walk you around Capitol Hill on her breaks. You might be ready to run across random protestors, but I still wouldn’t advise it.”

“No, definitely not. Thanks. I’ll figure something out.”

“Yeah you will, smart guy.”

“You’re still mean as hell though,” Bucky grumbles.

Sam laughs, shaking his head. “I bet you won’t be the only person to tell me that today, bro.” There’s a knock on the door, and Sam and Bucky both stand to leave. “Speak of the devil… seems like my lunch date’s early, as usual. Mind if I introduce you?”

“Oh, uh,” Not thinking about it long enough to let himself panic, he stutters out a quick, “Sure.”

Sam gets the door and… holy shit. On the other side stands America’s Next Top Male Model, all grade-A beef wrapped in a cable knit sweater. Baby blue eyes peek out from under the softest looking blond hair Bucky’s ever seen, and his mouth looks like it was shaped with a perfect pout in mind. “Good to see you, man. C’mon in, Bucky and I are almost done here.”

Sam’s friend (boyfriend? Sam said lunch date, didn’t he?) nods and looks over Sam’s shoulder to where Bucky is standing. He seems surprised for some reason. Surely he knew Bucky was there? “Uh, hi. I’m Steve, it’s nice to meet you.” Sam steps out of the way, and Steve barely seems to notice, still focused directly on Bucky’s face.

“Yeah, same to you. Um, I’ll get out of your hair, Sam. See you next week.”

“Take care, Bucky.” Sam gives him a friendly pat on the back on his way to the door. They both pretend not to see the flinch.

Steve stands right there in the middle of the doorway until Bucky is right in front of him. “Um…”

“Oh, uh- sorry.” Steve blinks a few times, shakes his head as if to clear it, and steps back into the hall, turning to let him get by. Bucky nods to him and heads out, feeling that gaze on his back nearly all the way to the elevator, but when he steps in and turns to select the ground floor button, the hallway is empty again, and Bucky finds himself strangely disappointed as the elevator doors close, leaving him alone once again with his thoughts. Time to go home.

Princess Parker 6

Rating: M Ship: starker (tony stark / peter parker) Tags: Minor Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers, Alternate Universe - College/University, Fashion Designer Peter Parker, Engineer Student Tony Stark, slow burn, stolen moments Summary: Tony Stark’s in love. But not with the conventional. Instead, his soulmate is known for temper tantrums about pink lemonades that are too sour and scuffs on the toe of his Louboutin shoes. He’s materialistic, superficial, and cares way too much about his face. So why can’t Tony stay away? Read below or on AO3

The man rushes across the walkway and into the bathroom, he locks the door and stares at himself in the mirror. "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck I fucked up. Fucking shit..."

"Tony?" a soft knock echoed through the room. 

"Not here. Go away." 

The person knocks again, "Tony, it's Bucky. What happened?" 

"Nothing happened. Go. Away." Tony leans against the wall opposite the door and sighs, "Leave me alone." 

"Tony, Peter and Natasha came and found me. They said to come to find you." 

"Why."

"That wasn't a question but they said that it's because you talked to Peter and then ran off."

"Did they say what I said?" 

"No. But Sam and Steve are on their way up here if you don't come out. We will pick the lock."

"Like hell, you will! Leave me the hell alone. I'm going home." 

"Whatever, Tony. We aren't done talking about this." Bucky's voice fades, and Tony's shoulders drop. 

"He called me art, Nat," Peter confesses later that night. The clock has rolled 5 am and the party downstairs is winding down.  He lays diagonal across the white wood four-poster bed's duvet, the pink silk doing nothing to calm him as it usually does. 

"Do you want Tiffany?" Natasha offers the pink and purple bunnybear to the boy, who opens his arms and holds the toy to his chest. 

"Thank you. But what do I do with that information? Like you can't call someone art and then just run off into the bathroom and hide from your problems."

"Peter, I can't tell you what he meant by that any more than he can. I am not Tony Stark nor do I claim to know what is going on in that man's head." She smooths the black silk of her dress underneath herself as she sits on the bed next to him. 

"The only person who can tell you what Tony means is Tony, Peter," Loki states simply, from their place against Peter's white wood dresser. They adjust their black and green suit jacket and approach the bed. "There is nothing any of us can say that will make this an easier pill to swallow. You have to talk to Tony." 

"No. I'm not going to look desperate." 

"Peter you've been desperate since day 1," Gwen states from the floor.

"She's right," Loki says, shrugging, "I'm going back downstairs." 

"Me too. If you want to know what he meant, ask him, Peter." Natasha rises and follows Gwen, Loki, and MJ out of the room, shutting the door behind her. 

The next day is agony for Peter. He looks for Tony everywhere he should be and can't find him. He looks back at Tony's seat, hoping Bucky will walk in and sit next to it. Peter sighs, wondering where the punk could be. 

Tony's never leaving his room again. He can't ever face Peter again. What does the boy think of him? He's such a fucking fool. Why did he ever think that Peter would feel the same as him? He knew he was out of Peter's league, but not this badly. 

"Tony, you have to leave the house. You can't just live here." Bucky states, standing over his bed.

"Bucky, that's the point of a bedroom. To live in it." Tony sighs and curls deeper under the blankets. "What do you expect, me to just go to class and pretend I didn't do anything wildly stupid and make a major fool of myself? Do you expect me to pretend like I did nothing wrong?" 

"You can't just hide here. I expect you to be dressed by the time I come back." 

"No promises," Tony calls to the fading voice, hearing the door close. He rolls over, glancing at the robot pieces all over his room.

He dwells for only a few minutes longer before rolling out of bed, making it haphazardly and changing into jeans and a Def Leppard tee. He frowns disapprovingly at his mismatched socks and plugs in his amp. "Gods, what am I doing? I haven't played since High School." Tony picks up his bass and plugs it into the amp. He strums a few frets, unsure how his notes will come out. 

Before long, Tony's lost in the music, his fingers are bleeding, and the music surrounds him, drowning out his singing.

Some people shopped here long enough that they were comfortable around his never changing and never judging demeanor. Their small talk met with grunts of acknowledgment, and their questions answered with a point to an aisle or a promise of things shipping in next month. The latter of which not being given lightly since Logan didn't order cheap shit that broke easy. It was bad business not to stock his joint with decent to high quality merchandise, and he hated bad business. Bad business was why there was a no return policy for his shop. It'd be plain unsanitary otherwise. Bad business was also why thinking too hard about customers who came off as unique was dangerous. Yet, in his defense, ignoring a tall, blue man who looked like he just stepped out of a church sermon in his sweater vest and khakis was a new one for Logan.

[tofiveohfive]

Do you maybe have any stevetony fanfic recommendations?

why, yes, i do! to be fair, i haven't read any stevetony fics in over a year, but i still have my ao3 bookmarks and my old marvel blog haha. also, just a warning before anything else: i'm a big, big fan of angsty fics, so, yeah.

my absolute favorite piece of writing in the marvel fandom is the series what we share (and what we hide) by @machi-kun​​. the 1st part is set right after CACW, before IW, from steve’s POV, and the 2nd part is still a work in progress, post-IW, from tony’s POV. despite it not being finished, i can't recommend it enough. just trust me. you haven't seen writing like this.

Hating Steve Rogers: my second favorite piece of writing. the angst in this one gave me butterflies. 

An Infinite Number Of Monkeys At Typewriters (Or, Steve and Tony Finally Get It Right):  After the events of Civil War, Tony and Steve wake up in bed next to each other in an alternate universe. It goes about as well as you’d expect it to.

Lost With You (Might Be All I Need): Tony and Steve fall through a portal just after defeating Thanos and his army. Stranded in another dimension, the two have to finally face what happened—and what could have been.

All Roads Lead To: After Obadiah’s betrayal, Tony hides in the depths of the Midwest to become a mechanic. The Avengers come into his life anyway.

The Jar:  The Avengers are ridiculously competitive people, and what starts out as a silly late-night team discussion quickly becomes a contest: their names. Not the code names – the nicknames. Who can go the longest without using them?

Lost Together: Being trapped in a horrible world where some things are like home, and some things are terrifyingly not, is bad enough. But when it becomes clear that the people here come in pairs - and unpaired people are a threat - Steve and Tony are forced to pretend that they’re a pair too, if they ever want to make it home alive.

Binary System: Tony tends to be tactile with people he trusts. These days that list of people includes Steve, which is a good sign of the progression of their friendship. 

Stick With Me, Baby, I’m the Fella You Came in With: During the final battle with Ultron, Tony kisses Steve for the first time. Afterward, he makes it clear to Steve that he was just running on adrenaline and not thinking clearly. (this whole series is AMAZING, tbh)

Take Care, I’m Easily Broken: Tony isn’t the type of person to pine quietly.

Someone to Love: What does it matter that it’d been because of Loki and his damn magic? He’d fallen in love with Steve once. He can do it again.

Take Two: Steve loses his memory but he gets the feeling he’s lost a lot more. Who exactly is Tony Stark to him and why won’t he come out of the basement? (AMNESIA AU, i can’t scream this loudly enough)

Love’s Such an Old-Fashioned Word: Steve gets the very brilliant idea that he and Tony should date, but Tony needs some convincing.

Rebirth: this is the 1st part of a series. if you really like angst, i strongly recommend this one. the comment i wrote in my bookmark for this is literally “WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS ANGST” lmao (unfortunately, the 2nd part is not as good, but that’s another issue).

when i run out of road, you bring me home: my comment on this bookmark is: “tony owns a farm, steve shows up, lots of kids show up, FOUND FAMILY” fhsdjhfjk

The Butterfly Effect: While fighting with Loki, Steve Rogers from 2012 hears the two simple words: “Bucky’s alive.” And the whole universe ripples with the aftershocks.

A Hundred Times, Once: The shrill tone of his SHIELD beeper pulls Steve out of sleep and into battle. He fights robots, he fights Tony’s shameless advances, he fights the exhaustion that threatens to take over him, drown him. And then the next morning, he wakes and does it again. Exactly the same. And again. And again. And again.

As Sharp As Any Thorn: It’s four days to Christmas, there’s a city in shambles, and the nation is in mourning because of the actions of a single man.

dreaming through the decades: “S-soulmates aren’t supposed to share dreams until they’re teenagers.” “Teenagers,” the boy repeats after a moment, like Tony had just spoken another language. “We’re too young,” Tony tells him. “I’m- I’m only eight.” “Me, too,” the boy says. His face keeps flickering from hope to something like fear. He takes an uncertain step forwards, but stops when Tony’s back becomes even more rigid. “I’m Steve Rogers.”

and he looks up: the steve/tony Titanic!AU with a happy ending for the Avengers.

most ardently: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a genius playboy in possession of the world’s largest tech conglomerate must be in want of a skinny little artist with an attitude problem. (pride and prejudice AU)

oof. these are a lot, but, on the bright side, you can pick whatever tickles your fancy? 😅

His aunt finds out about his after-school activities (AKA Spider-Man), he finally lands an actual internship, and they move into a… new place… in Midtown Manhattan. Maybe May won't burn down the kitchen on the first day, somehow. Tony Stark's a mess. He won't admit it, but he misses his team. He wants everyone back together, if only so he can pretend they're friends, yet again. In the meantime, he hangs out with a teenager for some reason. It's not because he genuinely enjoys the company-- Pete's just smart, okay? Tony doesn't have a soft spot for the kid. He doesn't. Steve didn't mean for everything to go this way. He just wants Bucky and his friends safe. He wants to go back home, fix the mess he created, preferably without getting locked in a prison. He longs for a chance to make up for the things he did. To build a life. ------------ The Avengers get back together again. Eventually. Accompanied by a certain Spider-Kid.

by Witty_Name_Here

In a world where roughly half the population receive a single soul mark on their sixteenth birthday, T.J. Archer is the exception to the rule—she has two. With nothing but the limited context of the words supernaturally etched on the inside of each wrist, she can't find it in herself to believe in happy endings.

When Steve comes out of the ice, he's still heartbroken over Bucky's fall. When he discovers the new soulmark etched on his skin, the only emotion he can name is rage. He doesn't want a new soulmate—he wants Bucky. Yet, despite his best efforts to pretend she doesn't exist, T.J.'s easygoing manner intrigues him and they form a shaky friendship.

When the Winter Soldier pulls Steve from the Potomac, he meets a woman who shows him kindness even after he nearly killed the man she's clearly in love with. Bucky knows nothing else, but he knows these two idiots mean everything to him—even if he doesn't completely understand why yet.

The Cards Have Spoken!

Hello everyone,

My good friend @brightsun-and-darkmidnight and I wanted to challenge ourselves to think outside the box with our writing ideas. We came up with a fun little challenge for ourselves, and wanted to share it here in case anyone else liked the idea!

We put together a bunch of flash cards that have different writing elements on them to write fics for the Marvel Cinematic Universe - settings, characters, theme/scene type, etc. Each week, we will both pull cards from our categories, write the story, post it, and then write a second story with each other’s cards and post that later in the week.

We both wrote our index cards slightly differently based on what we were comfortable with writing, but the majority are the same. Check out brightsun-and-darkmidnight’s post for her list, but here is mine! If you want to use it, feel free to alter it to things that suit you, but please tag me and brightsun-and-darkmidnight so that we can see what you did! If you have any suggestions of things to add, please let me know. I, however, will not be doing anything that is dub-con/non-con or relationships/sex with minors.

Hit “Keep Reading” to see the list that I made for my cards.

Theme/Scene Type

Fluff

Proposal First Date Getting them food Movie night at home Picnic in the park Comfort item/food from period/illness Comfort from a bad dream Talking lovingly about their partner to someone else Cuddling Getting/receiving gifts Falling asleep on the other person Adopting a pet Wedding day

Angst

can you write some protective Steve when they run into a bad ex of Tony's at an event? that would be amazing, I love your fics so much, thank you :D

Thank you so much for this lovely ask, Anon! I got so many great prompts for this event (and I am such a slow writer) that I decided to roll them together into a little mash-up. So this fic is inspired by four amazing asks:

- stevetony roommates who are pining after each other :) - protective Steve when they run into a bad ex of Tony's at an event - dialogue prompt: "I really want to kiss you right now." :))) - dialogue prompt - "kiss me, you fool" + stevetony? ty! :))

I really hope that the generous prompters (and all you other lovely readers) enjoy the results!!! 

CW: This fic includes non-consensual drug use and an episode of attempted non-con (not in the Steve/Tony pairing). The furthest that attempt proceeds is an unwanted touch on the arm, but please be very careful with yourselves, and if that content is potentially triggering, the full fic on AO3 contains a note about which section you can skip to avoid direct representation.

“I’m going to make a fool of myself,” Steve muttered, staring at his reflection in the mirror with an expression that could only be described as morose.

Well, morose and hot, Tony allowed. But the “hot” part kind of went without saying at this point: it was the unspoken subtext of every sentence his brain generated about Steve Rogers. “This is my (hot) roommate, Steve.” “Where’s Steve? Oh, he’s at football practice (being hot).” Or, if it was a day ending in “y,” “stop looking so judgy (and hot), Rogers. I already told you: I ate dinner yesterday.”

Frankly, it was a sign of how dire Tony’s situation had become that he’d noticed “morose” before “hot” — identifying the sad little wrinkle in the middle of Steve’s forehead even before he checked out how criminally good Steve’s ass was managing to look in a pair of second-hand jeans. Being attracted to your roommate was bad enough without starting to feel anxious about whether he was dreading going to this party with you. Or maybe worrying about him a tiny bit when he took a hard hit during that afternoon’s game and came up holding his wrist awkwardly. Or maybe one time — just one time — dealing with that worry by paying a small fortune on Ebay for a set of his favorite, discontinued colored pencils so that you could pretend you accidentally found them at GoodWill.

Or okay, fine: maybe Tony was completely fucked.

It had taken a while for him to admit the extent of the damage, because it was the opposite of the problem he’d expected to have when the two of them had gotten thrown into living together senior year. Before that August, Steve and Tony hadn’t really moved in the same circles. Steve had lived in a cheap, off-campus apartment for the first three years of college with two fellow athletes, Bucky and Sam, and Tony had stayed in the dorm rooms with his best friend Rhodey — largely in an effort to choose the living situation that would irritate his father the most. But then Bucky and Sam had gone from the occasional hook-up to what Steve (not at all adorably) called “going steady,” and Rhodey had been selected for a cadet exchange program in Germany. And so just at the moment when Steve had decided to move out and give his best friends more privacy, Tony found himself down a roommate.

Initially, when Natasha — one of the few friends Tony and Steve had had in common before this year — had suggested they could help each other out, Tony had reminded her that Steve would never go for it, because Steve Rogers thought Tony Stark was an irresponsible, conceited, grade-A floozy. Tony knew this, because the first time he’d run into Steve his freshman year, Tony had been at a house party letting some truly terrible people do body shots off his stomach, and Steve had been frowning at him with a look that seemed to say, “you’re making more bad decisions in this single minute than I will make in my entire life.”

But then the worst of Tony’s bad decisions — a blonde, abusive cheater of an ex-boyfriend named Tiberius Stone — had started dropping hints about Tony giving up his room on campus and moving downtown to live near the college’s wealthier set, and suddenly Steve had started looking like a safe option.

So much for that theory, Tony thought ruefully, his stomach doing an utterly unforgivable somersault when Steve’s eyes caught his in the mirror.

“You’ll be fine, Rogers,” he said out loud, his voice draped in the off-hand tone he’d been carefully knitting together for months. “Everybody’s going to be at least three drinks in by the time we get there, so their world is going to be shrouded in the forgiving haze of those horrible Pink Panty Droppers that Barton always insists on making. Besides, you’re coming in on the wings of glory. No one’s going to be able to see anything other than the star quarterback, recently returned victorious from the field of the state, national, regional championship — or the Nestlé Hot Pockets Bowl — or whatever it was you won today.”

It had been the big rivalry game against Liberty University, of course, and Tony had been in the stands the whole time. But he was glad he didn’t voice that embarrassing addition aloud, because Steve’s expression had somehow grown even more moody as he spoke.

“That’s what I’m worried about,” Steve replied finally, so softly that Tony wasn’t sure whether the words were meant for him or not.

“Hey, losers,” Natasha said, popping her head in the doorway. “Clint’s already texting me photos of ‘the Leaning Tower of Pizza,’ so if we want to get there before he’s puking in the bushes and singing ‘Single Ladies’ to regurgitated pepperoni, we better get this show on the road.”

She left to go rally the rest of their caravan (how she’d managed to coax Bruce Banner away from his textbooks and houseplants every Friday that fall Tony didn’t know and didn’t care to learn), and Tony heard Steve take a deep breath, as if he were readying himself for battle.

“You don’t have to come, you know,” Tony said, ignoring the part of his mind that was already shriveling at the possibility that Steve would take the out. “I know big parties aren’t really your thing. If you’d rather just catch up with Sam and Bucky —”

“I’m where I want to be,” Steve replied firmly, and when he turned to look at Tony there was a determination in his eyes that almost made Tony’s knees buckle on the spot.

Pull yourself together, Tony told himself firmly. You can make it through one party without ruining this.

[usernamesuggestionsarefunny]

Another thing I hate about John Walker haters and Karli apologists is that they can't seem to distinguish between real life and what actually happens in the fictional world. They almost conflate the two as if they were one.

In real life the writers made a racist choice by having Lemar be killed to motivate John, they wrote Karli, someone who was fighting for justice and the welfare of people, especially refugees, to be a terrorist and an antagonist. Those are choices we should be critical of, but they have no bearing on the characters' actions inside the Marvel universe.

John doesn't know he and his friend are characters (They obviously don't exist but you get what I mean) he didn't choose for Lemar to die along the writers in a room ("This will motivate me and give me so much character development, mua ha ha" *evil white grin*), he witnessed the murder of his best friend after he saved him from being stabbed by Karli (While the "poor" terrorist he would eventually kill was holding him still no less) and became mad. It was a crime of passion.  He loved his friend so much that, just like when Steve lost his mind and almost killed Tony in Civil War, he wanted to avenge him.  All the people outraged about the bloody shield can only make me laugh about their collective amnesia and double standards. Literally the only difference is the tone, the music and the way the narrative presents it.

Karli, on the other hand, killed innocent people with premeditation, and not only during combat, which is justified, but killed unarmed people “to send a message”.  The writers did that, and fuck them, sure, but inside the mcu universe, that is EXACTLY what happened, which is what I mean when I say Karli apologists seem to conflate the writers and reality with what Karli actualy does inside the fictional universe when they start trashing John while making excuses for her, saying she is just a good person fighting for what is right and that it is not fair John got a mini redemption arch at the end. As if killing a member of a terrorist group that took part in the killing of your best friend not even minutes ago in a fit of rage or fighting with guns (Like Steve, Bucky and Sam ALSO do, Sam literally in the very first episode, I can´t with people and their dumb takes to justify hating John) were in any way comparable to literally burning random people alive inside a building.

 Let's pretend for a moment she was not a fictional character and the people she burned alive were real and not just a stupid plot device to make her into a villain like it is in real life, why would ANYONE want to negociate with her? In that context, in an alternative real world where no one knows who "the main character" is, John Walker's distrust is way more understandable and even reasonable than Sam's self righteous attempt to negociate, something that could put innocent people in danger. 

Imagining myself as a relative to one of Karli's victims, I would want her arrested no matter her reasons (And Zemo, for that matter, if they needed his help they could have asked for his temporal realese, that plot point could have been done without the cheesy, contrived prison breakout), and Sam's final speech where he short of praises Karli as a hero would be super insensitive. I would still respect Sam for his efforts to save lives, but I would feel as if his heart wasn´t there with the victims, as if my pain was being trivialized. 

So maybe instead of excusing Karli´s actions, complaining about Sam not joining her and refusing to let her kill people or ranting about how horrible it is that John is making jokes minutes after her death (As if she hadn´t literally killed his best friend in front of his eyes and John had even one reason to care for her) as many Karli stans seem to be doing, why don´t they focus instead on the mere fact the writers made her a terrorist first place?

Much Ado About Nothing (2/6)

Pairing: Bucky x Reader

Word Count: 2,368

Warnings: enemies to lovers, feelings talk

A/N: second part!

MAIN MASTERLIST | MUCH ADO MASTERLIST

Steve and Sam occupy the common room one early morning after a workout. They converse casually among themselves, Sam with a book in his hand and Steve with a newspaper in his. Out of the corner of his eye, Sam sees Bucky slip into the kitchen a few yards away.

Sam clears his throat casually to get Steve’s attention. He glances at Sam, watching as Sam flicks his eyes to the kitchen behind Steve, and Steve gives an understanding nod in return.

“So, Sam, what was it that you told me last night?” Steve says at a low volume, knowing that Bucky’s ears will pick it up from that distance.

“You told me that our very own Geeky is hot for Bucky?” Steve throws out.

Bucky’s entire body freezes at the sound of that. There’s no fucking way on God’s green earth that I heard that right.

“Yup,” Sam confirms, popping the ‘p’, “I never thought that woman would fall in love with any man, let alone Tin Man himself.”

Am I awake right now? Am I alive right now? There’s no way I’m hearing what I’m hearing. Me… and Geeky? And love? All in the same sentence as each other?

“I’m glad, though. I’m glad that she’s fallen in love with a guy as good as Buck.” Steve says, enjoying this knowing that Bucky’s probably on the verge of having a heart attack in the kitchen behind him.

“Well… Maybe she’s just pretending.” Sam argues.

“Could be.”

“But… Man, the way she spoke about Bucky, there’s no way anyone is that good at pretending.” Sam explains.

“Well, what is it that she says?” Steve allows Sam to fish the bait.

“Well, she always tells me that she feels confused about it all. You, know, falling in love with someone she thought to hate this whole time.” Sam begins before his brilliant idea strikes him.

“She says she starts these letters, confessing everything, before tearing them up and starting over. She’ll spend hours on ‘em.” Sam tells him, and Steve struggles to hold back any kind of smile or show of amusement.

Fucking love letters? Is he on another planet or something? Alternate universe? Geeky… His Geeky… Well, not his Geeky, but, his Geeky! In love with him! He’d think this was all a prank of some kind if it were just Sam or Tony, but Steve’s too shit of a liar to pull this off. He puts down the fruit containers he was going to use to make a smoothie, appetite now gone as he concentrates on listening to their conversation.

“She says that she knows he’ll make fun of her for it. And she cries and cries and cries, because she’s done the one thing she always swore she’ll never do - fall in love with a man.” Sam finishes. There’s no way the fish didn’t take that bait.

“And Bucky doesn’t know anything?” Steve emphasizes.

“Not a thing. She refuses to tell him and says she never will.”

“Well, someone should.”

“And what would that do? Knowing that buzzkill, he would make fun of her for it. He’d turn it into a joke and she’d never live it down.”

“Even I’d give him a talkin’ to if he did that.”

“And you’d be right for doing so. I mean, Geeky’s a pretty amazing woman. She’s beautiful, she’s funny,” Sam lists.

“And there’s no doubt she’s virtuous,” Steve adds.

“And she’s incredibly smart,” Sam continues.

“Except for the fact that she likes Bucky.” Steve jokes.

“That’s what I’m saying! Shit, if it were me, I’d marry that girl in a heartbeat.”

“I think I might mention it to Bucky, see what he has to say.” Steve suggests.

“I think she’d die; I mean, she’ll die before he finds out, she’ll die if he doesn’t love her back, and she’ll die if he does and she has to hold back one of her usual insults when he goes to woo her.” Sam explains.

A pause from Steve, “Yeah, you’re right. I should just let it be. She’ll get it over it sooner or later.”

It relieves Bucky that Steve mentioned that last part. All of this is a bit overwhelming; he’s been thinking back on just about every conversation he’s ever had with her now. Were her insults just flirting in disguise? Was he ever too mean to her? Has he been hiding his own feelings underneath these insults because he’s scared? Is she scared too? His mind is going a mile a minute, and only speeds up when Steve adds,

“Or her heart will break. Whichever comes first.”

Great, you punk.

“By the way, I’ve meaning to bring you up to speed on this mission coming up in a month or so, want to go to the conference room to talk about it?” Steve changes the subject, allowing an exit for the two of them.

“We should get Miss Geeky to tell Bucky to meet us there, too.” Sam whispers.

“If he doesn’t at least think about her differently after all that, I’ll never trust our intuitions again.” Steve whispers quietly back to Sam as they walk out of the common area.

Bucky hears them leave but doesn’t make to move from his spot leaning against the kitchen counter.

He’s always been afraid of relationships and commitment in general; a lot has changed socially since the way he was brought up and was taught about love. A lot has changed for him in general, too. He wouldn’t know where to start when it comes to a new relationship. And he knows you’re in a similar predicament.

You’ve never spoken about it, perhaps only to Nat or Sharon, but you’ve had some pretty horrible boyfriends in the past, some that have left some pretty nasty scars on your heart causing you to be the way you are now. Snarky, closed off to men, and overall very quick to shut a guy down.

Nothing of what Steve and Sam said was a lie, either. You are beautiful, very beautiful, actually. He’s always known that; he’s known that since he’s met you. But he supposes it never got in the way of your constant arguing - he can think you're pretty and make fun of you at the same time. And you are nice, maybe not to him, but you’ve shown your loyalty to not only the Avengers, but to the people who have now become your family. He can confidently say that you would do anything for your family. And, as much, as he’d hate to admit it, you’re very smart. Probably the smartest person he’s ever come across, besides maybe Shuri or Banner.

You’re an expert in anything that has to do with technology and hacking, having created the new software used by not only the Avengers, but countless other government agencies. You’ve caught countless things from international terrorists to hidden HYDRA bases to missing people, and more. You’re damn good at your job along with being smart.

Well, being smart, except loving him, apparently.

Why did I ever hate her in the first place? I suppose I hated her because she hated me, but, why does she hate me? I haven’t done anything to her, at least not that I can think of.

As though he dreamed her up, she pops her head into the kitchen, “Against my will, I’ve been asked to tell you to meet Sam and Steve in Conference Room A.” You tell him.

“Oh - Okay, thanks, Probie, for, uh, taking the time to tell me.” Bucky tells her, changing up the insults for once.

“It didn’t take any more time for me telling you than you thanking me. If it was going to take a lot of time, I wouldn’t have said yes to Cap. And, you know my probationary period ended, like, almost two years ago. You can’t call me Probie anymore.” You explain to him.

“So, you took pleasure in delivering this message to me?” Bucky teases and ignores her correction, unable to hold back.

“Ha! Just about as much pleasure as eating garbage straight from the dumpster. If you don’t want to go to the meeting, it’s not my problem.” You tell him before leaving the room.

Bucky smiles to himself, going over the conversation in his head. ‘It didn’t take any more time for me telling you than you thanking me’ is pretty much the same as ‘Anything I do for you is as easy as saying thank you’, in my opinion. Now, if I didn’t think that was sweet, I’d have a heart of stone. How couldn’t I like her? I can’t believe it’s been in front of me this whole time!

Bucky feels a lot better than he did before, heart a lot lighter, too, and he finally makes his way towards the conference room.

...

“Okay! Okay! He told her! He told her!” Nat quickly walks back over to where Sharon is standing waiting for her in the middle of the Avengers garden outside.

Sharon told Nat to find a way to get you out here in order to trick you into eavesdropping. So, Nat got Sam to tell you to look for them out here and that it was extremely important. Important, it is, alright, we’re taking over Cupid’s job, here.

“Okay, remember, we’re only gonna be talking about Bucky, you handle the praise and compliments and I’ll handle the whole he’s in love with her stuff.” Sharon reminds her of the plan.

They hear distant footsteps and begin casually walking down the paved pathway of the garden, making it seem as though they’ve been engaging in conversation this whole time. The both of them can tell by the quick footsteps that are all your own that you’ve now entered the garden and are looking for them.

Sharon and Nat can tell that you are separated from them by a thick shrub, and you should be able to hear them clear enough without them knowing you’re there.

“So you’re sure that Bucky loves her this much?” Nat begins.

“Said so by Sam and my future husband.” Sharon confirms.

“And they told you to tell Geeky?”

“Yes, but I told them I’d hold off on it. I also told them that they should tell Bucky to hold off, too.”

“But, why? Shouldn’t Bucky get a chance to woo and charm Geeky just as any other guy?” Nat asks.

“Sure, he deserves the chance, but it’s just… her. She’s grown to love herself so much; she’s grown so protective of herself that her heart is stronger and tougher than I’ve ever seen. I’m not even sure she’s all that capable of love.” Sharon explains.

“I guess you’re right… It would be horrible if Bucky confesses his love for her and she teases him for it.”

“Her wit is also a lot sometimes, especially when it comes to men. They’re always too tall, too short, too talkative, too quiet. There’s always something wrong.”

“So,” Sharon continues, “I think it’s best to hold off on Bucky telling her anything and save him the pain of getting mocked at.”

“I still think you should tell her and see what she has to say about all of this.”

You stand on the opposite side of the tall shrub, concealed by the leaves and branches as you overhear this conversation. But, you’re not all too sure what you’re hearing. Bucky, love, and you, all in the same sentence? They have to be joking; this can’t be a real thing they’re talking about. Did Bucky put them up to this?

“I always wondered why they’d butt heads all the time. I mean, Barnes is a friend, but he’s handsome, he’s smart, he’s funny. And although he’s been through a lot, he has a big heart. And I think she’s in the same position. Two people who have a lot of love to give, but don’t know how to go about showing it all. So they board their hearts up instead.” Sharon thinks aloud.

Maybe they’re not joking. You have never heard Sharon talk about neither you or Bucky like this; perhaps they really don’t know you’re here and they’re telling the truth. What reason would they have to lie, anyway? Or help Bucky follow through with a dumb prank?

But if they’re not joking, that means that Bucky has feelings for you. Good feelings. Warm feelings. Feelings of love. And affection. For you. From him.

That’s weird to think about.

Why have you never gotten along with Bucky? They’re not wrong in the way they describe him; he’s kind, to everyone except you at least, and it doesn’t take a genius to see that he’s very handsome. You’ve alway admired Bucky as a person, like Sharon said, he’s been through hell and back and still strives to be a functioning human in a world he was never meant to live in. He cares so deeply about his friends and is always trying to see where he can improve himself as a man. Except for in the aspect of relationships, apparently.

“Anyway, I wanted your help in picking some colors for my nail polish for the wedding. I don’t see Geeky anywhere so we can just tell F.R.I.D.A.Y. to tell her to meet us in my room.” The two women follow the rest of the path out of the garden and back into the building.

You linger among the bushes and flowers for a few moments longer.

Maybe you've been harsh on Bucky in the past. Were you using insults and fights as a defense mechanism for your own fear of relationships? Has Bucky been good all along?

Guilt starts to rise in your chest, feeling more and more awful the longer you think about every single thing you’ve ever said to Bucky. You’re not even sure what started your rivalry in the first place, you always told yourself that you were mean to him because he was mean to you, but neither of you ever did anything wrong to each other in the first place. Was there ever a reason for ill feelings besides the lies you’ve been telling yourself?

Pick Up Games - A 90s Avengers Fic

Synopsis: In a universe where Carol Danvers stays her ass put on Earth and the entire MCU takes place during the greatest decade, I present to you: the Avengers in the 90s, playing street ball

Pairings: Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau, BestFriends!Maria Rambeau & Sam Wilson, Implied Sam Wilson/Bucky Barnes, V Subtle BlackHill

Warnings: Allusions to the traumatizing singing animatronics at Chuck E. Cheese

Word Count: 1,156

-----

In 1996, Sam Wilson is always wearing his Scottie Pippen Chicago Bulls jersey.

“MJ would be nothing without Pippen,” he constantly and confidently explains to anyone who will listen. “Every Michael needs his Scottie.”

Sam thinks he’s a much better basketball player than he actually is, but he can hold his own if he can keep his trigger-happy hands from launching an unnecessary three-pointer in pick-up games. He’ll maybe make one per game (and will consider himself the next Steve Kerr because of it), but he makes up for it because he’s the absolute king of assists.

Sam and Carol Danvers lead the charge to get some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and the Avengers together to play pick-up every Saturday morning at the closest park. Maria and Monica Rambeau always dutifully watch from the bleachers (the former acting like its her greatest weekend inconvenience, though they all know she loves it). Monica insists on bringing the boombox, acts as the official DJ as she switches back and forth between the local hip hop and classic rock stations, because Carol swears nothing gets her in the game like glam metal.

Steve Rogers can always be seen nervously pacing the sidelines (he doesn’t think it’d be fair if he and his bulging chest join the game; besides he’s always been more of a baseball kind of guy), acting as the unofficial referee, no matter how many times they explain to him that the very nature of street ball is no rules.

“I just don’t want anybody to get hurt,” he whines with a pout so unintentionally puppy-like that they can’t help but keep letting him ref.

They call Bucky Barnes “the silent assassin” because you forget he’s there until suddenly he’s dropped twenty buckets on you out of nowhere. He grumbles every time Sam smacks his ass after a good play, but they all share secret smirks at the way he also flushes.

Rambeau alternates between heckling Sam every time he bricks a shot and hollering, “Hell yeah, that’s my best friend!” whenever he does his signature fake right, dish left to a wide open Hawkeye who sinks the three or lobs a perfect ally oop to Thor for the slam dunk.

Speaking of Hawkeye, Clint Barton is absolutely useless unless he’s behind the arc. Can’t dribble worth shit, but no one’s ever seen him miss a shot. Not ever.

Natasha Romanoff doesn’t play but can always be found wearing the shortest shorts anyone’s ever seen as she lounges on the bleachers, bobbing her head to the radio and trading jokes with Monica. When the game ends, she husks out a ‘good game, boys’ until an insistent cough draws her attention to a playfully glowering Maria Hill (who is an absolute beast on defense and in the post with that delightfully long torso of hers).

Without fail, Natasha flashes her the kind of smirk that’ll make you have to gulp down an entire gatorade in one go.

“But of course as always, the ladies did it better.”

“Thank you.” That would be Carol interrupting the moment. She’s the self-proclaimed captain every week and takes pick-up games way too seriously. Peter Parker’s no longer allowed to play with them because everyone’s afraid her competitiveness with crush his tiny little earnest spirit.

Carol’s absolutely radiant when her team wins, though, immediately beelining it to the bleachers to hoist a cheering Monica onto her shoulders as she quirks an eyebrow at the girl’s pretending-not-to-be-impressed mother.

“Don’t I get something for winning?” Carol baits.

“Yeah, you get to follow this ass to the car so you can buy us lunch.”

There’s a chorus of “oooohs” and Carol pouts until Rambeau breaks down and plants a kiss on her lips. Monica scrambles off Carol’s shoulders to leap into the arms of an approaching Sam (in a frankly very dangerous maneuver that Maria side eyes with pursed lips) as they all head for the parking lot. Bruce Banner - who shows up late and smothered in sunscreen - consoles a ruddy faced Thor with an awkward pat on the back, because the God of Thunder is absolutely a sore loser.

(“These silly Midgard games have nothing on the grand arena events we’d hold on Asgard each century! There I am the undisputed champion!”)

Carol and Maria jump into their neighboring convertibles, playfully competing to see who can get Monica to ride with them until the girl proclaims “I want to ride with Uncle Sam!” Carol gapes and Maria rolls her eyes fondly as Sam triumphantly cackles.

“You raising her right, Rambeau,” Sam teases. “She knows quality when she sees it.”

Carol putting her middle finger on display in his direction just makes Sam laugh louder as he carries Monica over to his trusty blue Camry, followed a little too close by Bucky (everyone does them the courtesy of pretending not to notice). Steve throws his ham-hocked leg over his Harley, and the rest pile into Barton’s mini van (Natasha forgoes claiming her usual assumed position of shot gun to instead press her thighs against a self-satisfied Maria Hill in the backseat).

They make their way to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch because let’s be real, Monica calls the shots (and Sam honestly likes their pizza, he doesn’t care how the super soldier Brooklyn Boys give him shit for this “blasphemy”). Tony Stark, Pepper Potts and little Morgan Stark meet them there and Stark spontaneously decides to buy a birthday party package, even though it’s nowhere close to anyone’s birthday and the Chuck E. Cheese is technically already fully booked for the day. But he’s Tony Stark - like they’re really gonna say no. With a slice of pizza in one hand and a fountain coke in the other, Tony babbles on about how he could improve the animatronic technology to make it less creepy.

“I better not go into the garage later and see one of those things,” Pepper warns as she warily eyes the stuttering movements of robotic Chuck and gang as they sing an honestly not terrible cover of the Beatles “Eight Days a Week.”

Carol and Monica go on a rampage through all the games and absolutely clean out the place, earning enough tickets to win a huge Captain Marvel plushie that Carol cheekily gifts Maria (who rolls her eyes but secretly pulls out to cuddle against every time Carol’s called up to space for long periods of time) and Thor talks excitedly about the nine realms with a creature he swears he recognizes from space until Bruce has to gently point out that it’s just a human in a giant rat costume.

That night, Carol gets an AOL instant message from NicholasNotNickFury:

NicholasNotNickFury: thanks for inviting me to your little Saturday pick up games

CaptainHotStuff: but we didn’t invite you

NicholasNotNickFury: IT WAS SARCASM DANVERS

The end.
