#tony is in love with pepper

[ayoungeststark]

“So… why don’t you ask her out?” This was none of his business. Maybe he should just stay quiet— after all, things there were very different than in his home universe. But one thing didn’t seem all that different. Even though his parents weren’t together, and even though he hadn’t been around for too long, Logan could still see the way Tony acted around Pepper. 

“I mean, it worked out in another universe…” He pointed to himself. “Besides, you’ll never know unless you try. At least, that’s what the… version of you I know always tells me.”

For me Tony becomes UNBEARABLE if he doesn't have his daily dose of Peter

Like, a week is enough for him to go from "nice and playful Tony" to "insufferable billionaire" everyone on the team knows this, but he never admits it, so when they know that Peter will be away from the tower for 1 or 2 weeks, they already prepare for "hell week"

One time Peter spent 3 weeks without talking to Tony or going to the tower because he had a lot of work, tests and things scheduled for the weeks and he didn't have time, in the second week everyone was already considering move away from there because Tony was unbearable and without Peter everything seems more empty

Honestly, sometimes they wonder how they lived without Peter in the tower before, the silence is deafening and the lack of light is suffocating

Pepper is also at her limit and can't handle work anymore without the breaks for the "refreshing conversation" she has with Peter that usually relieves her stress

Tony is the worst, you know the alcoholic, mean and idiotic version of him? So, he's like this, he hasn't slept for days, he hasn't invented anything for 2 weeks and still insists on staying in the lab, no one else knows what to do at this point

When Peter comes back it's like they've been reborn, Tony is happy again, Pepper is less stressed and the light is back

God bless everyone when Peter tells them he's going to be away for a month on a trip with May next month....

I love the idea that all the Thunderbolts love to mess with Bucky because he doesn’t know anything about memes/modern slang/pop culture. And sure, Yelena, Ava, and Bob are all catching up on everything, but they know way more than Bucky does. Somehow even Alexei knows more (he might know the most, actually).

But then one day they’re all hanging out and someone makes a joke about stealing Bucky’s arm, and he says “you’re worse than the raccoon,” and they’re all just like. “What.” And he realizes that the one thing he has over the others is that he knew the original avengers.

So he starts dropping the craziest lore about them at random times, always something that they would have no way of verifying. Sometimes it’ll have something to do with whatever conversation they’re having, and sometimes it’ll be a complete non sequitur. He’s even left the room immediately after telling one of these stories on a couple occasions, and if it’s to heighten the air of mystery or because he couldn’t keep himself from laughing the others will never know.

At first they’re all convinced that it’s all bullshit, but then one day they’re on a mission with Ant-Man and Ava mentions something about it to Scott, and he confirms that yeah, whatever Bucky said is 100% true. Now they don’t know what to believe, and that makes it ten times funnier for Bucky.

At some point John tries to call Sam and ask him to clear things up, but he quickly realizes that Sam isn’t going to give him anything. If he even responds, it’s only to tell an even crazier story.

Of course Bucky knows that Natasha is off limits, and Yelena will call Kate to confirm or deny if he says anything about Clint. But eventually he’s told so many stories about all the others that he starts to lose track of everything he’s said. He blames it on his memory being damaged by hydra.

He only stops because Alexei, who believes every single story without fail, started spreading the stories to the press and Pepper sent them a cease and desist letter.

Bucky: You deserve a reward for putting up with me. 

Steve: You are my reward. 

*meanwhile* 

Tony: You deserve a reward for putting up with me. 

Pepper: True, you can be really difficult at times.

Peter: If I were Peralta, would that make you Holt?

Tony: I'm not gay.

Peter: Wait you're not?

Cue cut scenes from the past few weeks, sitcom style, showing Rhodes and Tony acting very homoerotically

[donteverblameash]

I swear to GOD, I am still crashing out over that one Endgame scene where everyone pulls up to Tony's house WHILE HE'S OBVIOUSLY SPENDING TIME WITH HIS FAMILY AND TONY IMMEDIATELY KNOWS THEY ARENT HERE FOR HIM, JUST FOR HIS SMARTS.

"I wish you guys came for any other reason." LIKE OH MY GOD?!?!? LIKE TONY WANTED TO SEE THEM, HE WAS WILLING TO LET BYGONES BE BYGONES AFTER CIVIL WAR, INFINITY WAR AND 5 FUCKING YEARS

And when he asks them to lunch, it would have been so easy for Steve to say, "Y'know what, yes. I'd love to eat lunch. I'd love to catch up, I'd love to see Pepper and meet your daughter. We all have time. " THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN TONY THAT. THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN HIM AN HOUR BEFORE THEY TURNED HIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE UPSIDE DOWN

GOD, I CAN'T STAND THIS STUPID SUPERHERO FAMILY 😭😭😭

[themistressofzeus]

her mouthing his lines back to him has got to be the most pepper thing ever

[winterspiderpurrs]

Pepper always been a health nut. Sure she indulged sometimes, cheat day Friday's were a thing.

But after Tony's last doctor's report she put Tony on her dietary plan. And Tony was NOT happy about it. She even has Happy in on it where it's only grilled chicken, baked fish and veggies. So many veggies.

Which is why Tony devices a plan. Distract Happy. Dress undercover and sneak so he can have the 1st burger he comes across.

He got a few blocks before he finds a food truck.

" I need the best burger you have. Make it a double everything. Fries. And anything else that would be good."

"Of course Mister Stark! "

Tony lifts up his ball cap and lowers his shades to look at the young man behind the window of the truck. Who just waves and smiles brightly at him before starting to make his order.

" Don't worry. I won't tell Ms. Potts. We all heard about your new healthy eating."

" That isn't in the news."

"Oh! No, not the news. I intern down in the Biochemical department. Word travels."

" What's your name kid? "

" Peter. Peter Parker. And how about a root beer float for your burger and fries? Having a food cheat day for once won't hurt."

i've had some thoughts rattling around my brain about Keen since episode 9 showed us flashbacks of the boys as kids when they were adopted and then a little older when they started their training for real, and this week's episode just added more fuel to the fire.

i think one of the saddest things that the last couple episodes have really exposed that a lot of people might miss because of the other bombshells that have been dropped is the fact that Keen was set up possibly even worse than Fadel and Bison were in this life. they were adopted together, told they were going to be a family, and then Lily manipulated them all into becoming who they are as adults. she lucked out that Bison and Fadel liked each other so much and bonded so strongly to each other, and she used that bond to isolate and control Keen in a completely different way.

Keen's desperate to be in the field like the other two and to be sent on missions; he doesn't have the same set of skills that they do and wasn't able to develop his talents in the same way, and it's clear that Lilly took the natural aptitude of Fadel and Bison and turned that into what they are now, but she chose to push Keen into the behind the scenes aspect of the business. she's also made it clear from the start which set of talents she values more as is clear from the way she glares at Keen when he can't shoot his bottle in the flashback.

Keen isn't given any kind of reassurance or support for missing his shot, or told to try again; Lily answers Bison's questions about why they need to learn to shoot by telling them that they have to learn to protect themselves, then she gives Keen a few more judgey looks, implying it's something she doesn't expect him to be able to do. the next scene in the flashback is her giving Bison and Fadel their first assignment, and by this point Keen has already been relegated to being the paper guy and having an office job.

these kids all lost their parents and are gathered up by Lily at the same time and told they're going to be a family; they look like they're all roughly the same age. we all know how seriously Fadel and Bison take to the brother relationship, but Keen is pushed to the outside of this by Lily and her priorities. i had figured before episode 10 that they had been trained together for a longer period of time and maybe Keen had just not gotten along with them because he was jealous of their talents, but Fadel telling Style that he doesn't really know anything about Keen besides that they were adopted at the same time says to me that Lilly purposefully kept them apart instead of it being their choice.

Fadel saying they don't care about Keen makes me so sad for him. the fact that he only really knows that Keen was adopted at the same time and does other work for Lilly that's not in the field means they don't care because they don't know him at all. they haven't had the chance to bond with him the way that they did with each other. they weren't pushed together with him; they were pushed to each other, and Keen was pushed off on his own to watch them be the favoured children and struggle by himself.

imagine your parents are murdered in front of you, you're scooped up by this woman who says she's going to take care of you and build a family with you and two other boys your age who have been through the same experience, but then you're not as good as the other two boys at the tasks she sets you, plus the two of them deeply connect to each other and fall into a sibling bond and leave you outside of it. that you're kept so separate from them that despite being a "family" for years, they know basically nothing about you, while your shared mother keeps dangling the things you want right outside of your grasp.

she's driven a wedge between the boys so deep that Keen resents Fadel and Bison enough to WANT try to kill them himself, while they don't have any idea that he would even be willing or able to. he's been kept so far out of their notice while their successes and talents have been constantly waved in front of him as well as being consistently put down by Lilly for his mistakes and inadequacies. she's pushed Keen into a corner and made him think that it's Fadel and Bison's fault for putting him there instead of it being a way for her to control him and keep him under her thumb.

Fadel and Bison have given the impression from the first episode that it's the two of them against the world; brothers bonded so tightly together that nothing can shake that. they have a Mother, but really they only have each other. it's the two of them and it always will be. but there were three of them. there were three boys when this started. and they don't care about Keen. he's alone.

i'm really hoping that the current situation snaps Keen the rest of the way out of Lilly's control. he should have already figured out what his future looks like if he really wants out of the family business like he's promised Thanon, because if he's known the entire time that Fadel's last boyfriend got murdered instead of just leaving, he should be fully aware that they face the same fate if he tries to leave Lilly. with that knowledge plus finding out that Lilly killed his parents along with Fadel's and Bison's, hopefully he turns on her and helps the others take her down. her lack of hesitation to send him or other hired hitmen after the two favoured sons should be a pretty clear signal to him about her willingness to off him as well at the drop of a hat.

fingers crossed that Keen and Thanon get to have a happy life far away from Lilly and that he finally gets to have an actual family that doesn't involve manipulation, abuse, and murder.

Love Triangle Concept: Double Trouble

You and Steve have this complicated relationship. The distance you two have is loud, yet somehow when your in close proximity between each other, its never been more silent. Trying so hard to keep your cool and him trying to stay in control. The ligering gazes, the your breath goes still, constantly trying to convince yourselves you don't have these feeling for each other, because if you did that would be wrong.

Well, why is it so wrong you may ask, i'll tell you why. The only obstacle in the way of a burning complicated mess you two call romance is the one and only Sharon Carter, his girlfriend. Oh Sharon, poor poor Sharon, I honestly doubt that woman would have even a clue what really going on between you two. I mean its not like Steve ever talks about you, he can't he feels to guilty to talk about you in her presence, let alone with anyone else.

All anyone knows is that you two aren't close, and I mean they are kind of right. Ever since coming to work with the avengers, you two have had an instant attraction that neither of you can really explain. Despite forcing yourselves to avoid each other as much as possible, there is this feeling of equalibrium invading the constant chaos of your lives. When you do interact, its so soft quiet. It feels like when the sun comes after the rain, the only thing illuminating is the light you two share.

But that's the thing, your light doesn't exist, it never got the chance to form, you two aren't together. He's happy with someone else, I mean if he wanted you, he would have broke up with her, and came to you, right? I mean you two getting to get her would be so messy, he's technically you superior, and your coworkers, plus he has a girlfriend who they all have known longer than you. Maybe you two no being together is for the best, right?

So you decide to move on, the best you can at least. You try to date, really you do, trying to be so invested in someone else while there is this remnance of someone else's blinding light in your heart. Their all just so bland, to arrogant, to tasteless, sloppy, lazy, so not right, anything and everything you can think of that comes to mind as to why you won't go on a second date with these poor souls. It's just that there so, so not.... you don't want to say it, think it, to even feel why you don't want to be with them, their just..... so not Steve.

But maybe, yes maybe not all hope is lost for your poor blinded heart. Tony Stark, genius, billionare, philantropist. This wickedly handsome bastard just might be able to engineer something for you to get you out of your sorrows. I mean who else do you go to when you when you need some thing fixed. Luckily for you, or unluckily for him, he just so happens to be on the market. When Pepper Potts left him he was heart broken, even months later he is still picking up the pieces of his shattered heart.

You and Tony are actually pretty close, or more so neutral if that's what you can consider close. You approach him gently one night, bringing aids of wine and bourbon. You both practically vomit your feelings of pain and heartbreak in your drunken state. Honestly, bringing the alcohol probably want the best option. Nearly a hour and a half, and two bottles of wine later, your sluring propostions of a distraction to ease the bruise's your broken hearts. And the only witness to such debauchery that you two concocted in that room is poor Friday.

It's decide that what you two have should be kept secret, to at least try to be as inconspicuous as possible. Between your professional and personal relationships with the team, you don't really want to start anything. Not all talk is good talk, you never know what consequences that might attract, what jealousy might brew. But if we're being completly honest with our selves, the ideals of secrecy are pretty hot.

Dare I say the arrangement with you two works, but when you live assassin's and goverment agents who job it has been to figure out things/ being the hyper observant bastards that they are, finding the time to shack up can be difficult. But do trust that it works, finding the most random places for Tony to fuck your brains out isn't really a problem, this man has done it all. You can't say you aren't satisfied with what he is bringing to the table.

Pasion is one hell of a thing, there was never really akwardness, or dout that what you two were doing was wrong, especially when Tony was for sure Pepper was definitely not coming back to him. The once "just hookups" turn into more than that, to equate for the newly blossoming sexual tension, you actually start trying to bond, you know, just to throw the team off the game a bit. You both mesh well together, and the so called "relationship" that is perceived by the team is merely nothing more than a newly growing friendship.

But with most things sexual and passionate, the brewing storm that is love just has a way of just sneaking up on you. This is a he fell first you fell harder situation you have found yourself tied up in. After months and months of the sex, sleeping in each others arms, secret sneek outs to your spots to decompress, and just the little things to take care of each other during these trying times, a love is forged from the fires of the broken peices of each others bleeding hearts.

Its chaotic and unpredictable, its like the rain that comes when the storm hits, never knowing when it will end. Sometimes its thunderous and loud shaking you to your core. The rain is good it brings you the things you need when your in your drought, flooding every being of your body to replenish what you thought you had lost in your being. Tony is the only person you can feel in your darkness. A kind of darkness that is unrelenting to who gets caught in its never ending storm.

Steve is your sun, and Tony is your rain.

But sometimes the rain in not always good, I mean it is a storm after all. The storm is always unpredictable, never knowing if it will get better or worse, and for you and Tony it got a whole hell of a lot more complicated. Even preparing for everykind of obstical one may face challenging the storm accidents still happen. And that accident, came in the form of a baby. You two were being so carefull, neither of you knows how it happend, it just snuck up on you one day.

A missed period and some Sheild Lab results later confirmed, that you were most certainly pregnant. After some talk, you decide you both wanted to keep it, but there was only one problem. What where you going to tell the team? Everyone, or we assume everyone, has no idea that you are dating. This has now gone too far, the fear of not wanting to face your feeling even now as you date Tony has put a road block in you path.

It's not like you can just tell people "hey we have most certianly been hooking up/dating for months, and we got a kid on the way". Their going to have questions, the interigation side will jump out of them. You certainly can tell them why you started hooking up. Oh yeah we definitely weren't using each other as rebound to escape the void of loneliness and heartbreak. Because that's exactly what happened, now the lies and secrets have piled up and have no where to run and you are forced to deal with them.

You better prepare for the storm, because baby you got double the trouble coming your way!!!!

The scene of Tony returning back to earth is such a win for stony and pepperony fans because Steve literally sprints towards Tony, pepper and Tony hug, and while they hug Steve looks so shocked. They’re both lovesick for this idiot genius
