@transistorized @purplearchcr @danversiism needed this on the blog. (And @pympartic gets a tag too)

The Avengers GC. Everyone suffers Clint. Always.

@araneaignis liked for a starter! For: 616 Peter

"We don't have to fight." Comes the warning, from a Goblin who has definitely been in battle before, and is not on the greatest of moods. "But if I so much as hear the sound of a web-shooter, you're getting a bomb to the face."

ANONYMOUS ASKS // Clea, when are you gonna nail Stephen? Man needs to be folded like a laptop yesterday!

There's a sigh at the pesky shade that's wander its way past the wards and into the sanctum. No doubt tracked in from Stephen's trip to the graveyard upon the request that something unusual was happening there. It's been here for three days now of the uninvited guest of whom she has not been given permission send the wisp away. Now it has become so comfortable and bold in her home to make observations about her relationship with Stephen Strange.

The faltine is a woman who takes what she wants, and she so does want Stephen Strange. However be that as it were, there is something fun about teasing the man. Testing his boundaries and willpower, she wants to cave so badly. She wants HIM to cave so badly that so she could meet him with twice the intensity of whatever he gives her.

And yet here they are with a faceless apparition, ❝ See that would require for @timeisbrain to do more than stare, wave, and make three sounds. ❞

❛  i think i've been in love with you since the day we met - scratch that, i know i've been in love with you since the day we met.  ❜ post russia #2 yaknow

ɪᴀɴ  ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ  ʙᴇ  ʟʏɪɴɢ  ɪꜰ  ʜᴇ  sᴀɪᴅ  ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ  ᴡᴀsɴ'ᴛ  ᴀ  ᴘᴀʀᴛ  ᴏꜰ  ʜɪᴍ  that  didn't  want  to  run.  Not  because  he  didn't  reciprocate  her  feelings.  But because  damn  right he did,  he  loved  her.  He'd  known  from  the  moment  those  hydra  agents  had  walked  into  his  cell  and  threatened  to  hurt  her,  if  he  didn't  corporate.  The  feeling  had  weighed  heavy  on  his  chest,  and  in  that  moment  he  could  have  ripped  their  hearts  out.  That's  when  he  knew  the  feeling  he  had  shared  for  Kira  all  this  time  had  been  in  fact  love.  @str3lok

So  he  felt  the  desire  to  run,  not  because  he  didn't  love  her.  But  because  he  was  fucking  terrified  that  he  loved  her  too  much.  The  type  of  love  that  would  have  him  burning  down  cities.  The  sort  of  love  that  would  have  him  putting  his  life  on  the  line  to  know  that  she  would  be  okay.  And  that  was  a  dangerous  sort  of  love.  It  made  him  feel  desperate,  out  of  control,  and  Ian  had  spent  the  majority  of  his  life  trying  to  push  away  the  parts  of  himself  he  didn't  like.  The  dark  parts.  The  parts  that  wanted  to  hurt,  the  part's  that  made  him  like  Zola.  

What  he  slipped  up?  What  if  he  hurt  her,  because  he  was  being  reckless,  because  he  couldn't  control  himself?  What  if  he  was  destined  to  be  some  self  fulling  prophecy?  "  I  -  "  he  began  to  say,  a  lump  forming  in  his  throat,  from  the  swell  of  emotion  he  was  expressing.  "  Kira  -  I  -  I've  been  in  love  with  you  since  the  moment  SHIELD  paired  us  up  for  the  first  time.  I'm  sure  their  regretting  that  one.  But  I  don't.  I've  never  felt  the  way  I  feel  about  you  for  anyone.  And  it  scares  the  shit  out  of  me.  "  

He  feels  raw.  He's  laid  himself  bare  for  her  to see.  But  as  scared  as  he  felt,  when  push  came  to  shove  he  knew  he  could  trust  her.  Trust  her  to  protect  his  heart,  rather  than  break  it.  "  I  may  not  always  do the right thing.  Or  know  what  to  say.  But  you  make  me  want  to  try  to  be better.  Not  just  for  you,  but  for  myself.  "  H͟e͟'͟s͟ ͟ ͟n͟e͟v͟e͟r͟ ͟ ͟b͟e͟e͟n͟ ͟ ͟w͟i͟t͟h͟ ͟ ͟a͟n͟y͟o͟n͟e͟ ͟ ͟b͟e͟f͟o͟r͟e͟ ͟ ͟w͟h͟o͟ ͟ ͟m͟a͟d͟e͟ ͟ ͟h͟i͟m͟ ͟ ͟f͟e͟e͟l͟ ͟ ͟l͟i͟k͟e͟ ͟ ͟h͟e͟ ͟ ͟w͟a͟s͟ ͟ ͟w͟o͟r͟t͟h͟ ͟ ͟s͟o͟m͟e͟t͟h͟i͟n͟g͟.͟

@nomanslannd // cont.

Tommy widened his eyes and raised a finger, leaning forward slightly.

"Hey, you’re smelling that?" He sniffed a couple of times before turning his gaze to Ian. "Smells like envy to me—because someone wasn’t invited to join the Young Avengers."

He tried to keep a straight face, but it lasted only a fraction of a second. A sarcastic, teasing grin quickly took over.

Being part of the Young Avengers was a pretty big deal for tommy. It meant a lot to him. He loved that team. They were his family, so hearing the disdain in the other’s voice really got under his skin a bit. Crossing his arms, he let out a scoff, already growing tired of being there. He didn’t like to feel locked, after all.

"Oh, you like my mom? Tell me more about that."

[ofdreamsanddoodles]

somehow i never finished reading the last two issues of ghost spider but MAN is it super depressing

[mastcrmarksman]

❝ Happy father's day - ❞ There's some form of a genuine tone, because it is possible that Clint meant that. Thankfully he doesn't have a therapist to exam that. ❝ to Captain America and the HUNDREDS of children he's GRANDFATHERED because he's old. ❞

special mention : @anecdotist, some part of you knew this was coming

[thefastestaround]

So while talking and thinking about things with the X-Books, I have thought about what Pietro would think when he heard his father was dead. And honestly, he would be sad. He shed tears and felt angry and all the emotions that come with losing a relative. Even if he didn't like and sometimes hated his father, it still hit him.

*iv     ——     *WOLVES RUN / IN PACKS ! ( 616 / MAIN VERSE POST 2019 )

Natasha has uncovered who was posing as her, with the help of her fellow AVENGERS. After Tony helps her remember everything she has done, she is ready for a break. While she loves her family & friends, she knows she can do MORE if the world thinks her dead. So now she roams,  chasing down all the red on her ledger, piece by piece. But this time? This time, she knows to call on the avengers to help.

@transistorized - 💏  to  softly  kiss  my  muse's  forehead. @ pepper (probably accompanied by something smartassed)

It is not of her own volition that her chair is spun around, ripping her hands away from the keyboard. The looming invader of her office leans down to commit further offense as slightly chapped lips press to her forehead. Green eyes narrow, her nose scrunches up every so slightly as she glares at him. She turns back around and reaches for a small blue cylinder in her desk drawer.

❝ You need chapstick. ❞ She presents a medicated chapstick to him, choosing for the moment to ignore the flurry of words he had thrown at her. ❝ You absolutely will NOT or so help me you're in the dog house! ❞

"  I  wasn't  going  to  hurt  him.  I  was  just  going  to  teach  him  a  lesson.  Guys  like  this  think  they're  untouchable.  It's  good  for  them  to  learn  that's  not  the  case.  "

" Don't worry, I'll be with you every step of the way."

(* pushes grandpa Red at Flux for a mission xD*)

"Alright... I appreciate that, Sir. I don't know why I'm so worried. I just got a bad feeling about this mission, if I can be honest. 'He shook his head, chuckling. "Maybe I just seen too many horror movies with folks going pokin' around old tombs and such, gettin' themselves killed."

Wanda's been looking for you.

"Whaaaat—? Whyisshelookingforme? I didn’t do anything wrong." It was the first thing that came to his mind to say—not suspicious at all, to say the least. "You can tell her I’m right here. Minding my own business. Notgettingintoanytrouble."

Cliff Notes Version of Main 616 Verse

Some of these events have happened through plotting, discord, and wire, and why you may not find the threads on my blog.

ZERO Upon clint's return to new york post freefall events and the headcanon/blog lore events of ohio (reason for going sober) [ see this post ]

ONE He has been attempting to go sober, he's had a few relapses and has almost given up a few times, his longest stretch and it'd the one he is on now is five and a half months

TWO He was recruited for the Thunderbolts after several rejections from trying to start a new team or move back out to the west coast

THREE Carol Danvers is his sponsor, who has helped him out and been a friend toward him when he hasn't thought he has had any left. ( @ / danversiism is the Carol )

FOUR Even after the months and time he has dedicated to the Thunderbolts, he still has not felt that it is his team or that they are doing anything meaningful and he has been an unhappy "leader" om probation

SIDENOTE Additionally, I think TBolts 2022 did a shoddy job with the whole PR centric team and in general, it'd a short read with poor attempts at call backs and does not treat clint with respect. So in taking inspiration some other comic events and media at the time

FIVE Roxxon is the parent company of the PR agency that Mayor Cage is using for the Thunderbolts. Helen is a very good PR manager, and perhaps doesn't realize, that Roxxon owns her agency, as Roxxon is generally a corporate evil and anti superheroes, Roxxon had funded the Underage Hero Welfare Act which wasn't a good thing, as it genuinely arrested children / young heroes and vigilantes and put them in "schools" and mistreated them and attempted to brainwash them.

SIX So based on that, you imagine the idea of if Marvel had given Tbolts 2022 an actual plot and cared about the team, if they had perhaps taken an angle like introduce Roxxon since in past few years, it seems we are gearing towards a crossover wild Roxxon takedown event (Tony's new run is literally going to be Roxxon-Stark war. Thor's run has Roxxon trying to slander Thor to the public)

SEVEN While Clint has been quietly back in New York, he encountered a disheveled (for lack of better term) Hank Pym ( @ / pympartic ) and takes him in. Gets Hank to doctors and Doctor Strange, and manages to confirm this Hank alive and Ultron free. Not wanting to alert everyone, due to his own worries about Hank and respect for Hank's wishes, he tells no one about his appearance and takes Hank in. Hank Pym becomes his roommate rent free, and honestly has helped Clint find some stability by having someone living with him. He's kept Hank a secret, letting Hank be the one to dictate who knows he is alive or not

EIGHT Additionally, consequences for Clint's actions, he truly does not own the Bed Stuy building anymore and it's one of his biggest regrets. He does not live in Bed Stuy anymore, his new apartment is a two bedroom in a different neighborhood in Brooklyn arranged by Tbolts PR Manager, Helen, who happens to have a key by the way (canon fact).

NINE The combo of asking Carol's advice and her becoming his sponsor along for the fact, Clint has been living with Hank Pym and seeing him recover from his traumas, has lead to Clint really trying these days, and always managing to get back go sober because he likes being sober after his slips, as well as it has led Clint to opening his eyes with how dissatisfied with the state of the Thunderbolts.

TEN His roommate, Hank, has begun to make contact with more and more of their mutuals friends, letting them know he's alive and doing well amd this eventually leads to Clint getting back in contact with a lot with a more people.

ELEVEN Such as Tony ( @ / transistorized ) whom Clint has since asked for help from and announced he wants to be an Avenger again and is in the process of quitting the Thunderbolts, once he gets out the contract he signed but didn't necessary scruntize over details. Additionally, Tony has been kind enough to offer to help Clint and Hank out by allowing them to move into an old brownstone he still has (since your pr manger/boss having keys to your apartment is a red flag).

IN SUMMARY Clint's sponsor is Carol, he's sober and going on 6 months soon, he is quitting the Thunderbolts, focusing efforts to be Avenger worthy, he's moving into a vacant brownstone Tony owns, his roommate is Hank Pym back from "the dead" and he'd reconnecting with people such as kate bishop ( looks at dani @ / purplearchcr ) , steve rogers ( looks at dean @ / shieldslinger ), as well as making new connections ( looking at Cass spider zombie @ / spiderz0mbie ). Clint's in his recovery and redemption era.

This is in general the details I am working with when I write with everyone, and is my main 616 setting and plotlines I am developing or have had an increased interest in writing. So if you see these mentions in other threads, now you know.

There is going be shipping in this main verse in which Clint and Hank are gonna smooch (aka Pow and I are severely brainrotted over Hawkant. Clint should kiss his friend, should marry the old Ant Man and adopt kids with him).

Yet here's a little disclaimer / reminder. I am still multiship

(I love all my ship partners and the verses we develop 💜💕 shout out to lynn, aurora, archer, rain, rocky, pom, and ce. I love our ships so much i am looking at all of you)

I do have other 616 verses beautifully crafted with other writers/friends and based around my ship partners and our ships, and I have posts for those somewhere, or I will make a new own when I redo my connections page, but hey if you're writing partner you're my bestie and we could develop verses too).

@warbyrds sent Natasha: “If I keep my body moving, and my mind occupied at all times, I will avoid falling into a bottomless pit of despair.”

"you know what they say." a sardonic chuckle skips across the back of her teeth, natasha setting down a blueprint of an abandoned warehouse to lift her brow at carol. "'idle hands are the devil's plaything." or... something like that."

it's too familiar a feeling, the way anxiety scratches a restless itch into the limbs, a wandering mind finding itself looking into the past when there isn't something to focus on in the now. for those of them with too many years spent in their line of work... free time is no longer a luxury but a curse.

"if the instant coffee isn't doing it for you, there's vodka in my bag," she offers, pointing to her standard issue military bag propped up against the wall. she turns her gaze back to carol, taking in the storms lingering under the eyes and lifting her chin. "unless you'd rather talk?"
