I posted this a few days ago on Twitter, and it has exploded to a truly unexpected and overwhelming degree, which has led to several days of amazing conversations and someone messaged me here to ask if I would post it on Tumblr, which I probably should have done much earlier except that I always forget I have a Tumblr. Anyway, here it is, though I also encourage anyone with Twitter to go check out the original thread, as the replies have become a goldmine of further research, dialogue and fact-checking.

All the sources I cited in the thread are linked below!

Darcyland Drabble Race #4

“I want you back!”

Ian Boothby was getting on Darcy’s last nerve. He was hovering outside the door to her flat, begging for a ‘2nd chance’ when he never even had a first one. Part of her is a bit sad, feels kinda bad for ghosting him.

But she’d already been spoken for as soon as that blond beefcake had touched down in the middle of the desert three years ago.

“Thor, just ignore it. This isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last until I’ve moved away.”

Thor purses his lips and gives the door a mighty glare. Darcy’s surprised the wood doesn’t crack under the intensity of his gaze.

“It’s not right, little Valkyrie, for him to torment you so.”

“Aww, you’re so sweet. I got carried away during the Dark Elf incident and now I’m paying for it.”

Darcy valiantly attempts to get Thor to look at her. It wasn’t too much of a struggle, one wave of her hand and he’s looking back at her. And he’s got that mushy, soft smile again.

“Please, Darcy! One last chance!”

Yeesh.

“H-Man, open the Bifrost please!”

A trip to Asgard would take away all of Darcy’s earthly troubles.

——

“Hairbrush karaoke? Really”

“OH BABY, GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE!”

“Stop that.”

“WON’T YOU PLEASE LET MEEEeeeeEE BACK IN YOUR HEART?”

“I’m leaving, you are annoying.”

Darcy cuts off her singing, giving Strange a, hopefully, piercing glare.

“Loosen up, Stephen. I’ve never seen you smile before and it’s clear my singing isn’t lighting a fire in you. Shame.”

For the record, despite his threat, Strange didn’t leave. But he was pretending to be reading a book. Pointedly not looking at her.

“It’s a shame I’ve been the one who’s had to put up with you for the last two weeks. Why does Stark think I need to be the one to protect you? You were fine on your own.”

Setting the hair brush aside before making herself comfortable on the top of the oak table. She ignores Strange’s look of disdain. She was used to it.

“Because, I have a mighty special stone that can do scary things woven into my DNA, you’re the only one who can protect me. Also, you were the only one who had free time.”

“Taking care of New York City’s multidimensional threats is hardly me having any ‘free time’. If anything, you should be removed to a location where you pose less of a threat to civilians.”

Darcy shrugs, picking up her hair brush again and picking back up on the song where she’d left off.

If she sees Strange smiling when he thinks she isn’t looking, she decides not to call him out on it.

Darcyland Drabble Race #3

The flick of the switch on the record player has the room suddenly filled with the sounds of Blue Swede’s newest vinyl. Darcy sways her hips to the beat, letting her eyes fall closed as the music takes her away.

“I’m hooked on a feelin! I’m high on believin!””

“Oh you are?”

Darcy jolts in surprise at the sudden voice. She whirls around, sending Bucky a glare once her heart stops racing.

“You know I hate it when you sneak up on me like that!”

Bucky, the smug fucker, just sends her a smirk before dropping his bag and grabbing her hand. As they dance to the rest of the song, Darcy knows she could never stay mad at him.

——

“Hooked on a feeling? That song is ancient!”

Darcy elbows Peter, teeth clenched in a painful smile. How did she end up with a partner with no filter? Or any sense of decorum when speaking to adults.

“Hey, kid, don’t. Also, aside from rock, this is the only acceptable song for the lab.”

Peter and Darcy has been chosen to visit Tony Stark’s, the Tony Stark, lab as part of an ‘internship’. But Darcy wasn’t naive. Mr. Stark must’ve seen the YouTube videos they’ve been making.

“So, you’re the spiderlings. The arachnid kids. The eight-legged freaks.”

Stark gives the two of them a once over. He doesn’t look too satisfied with what he sees. Which, rude. The bite was the best thing to ever happen to her.

“I thought the two of you would be taller.”

Oh, it was on now.

Darcyland Drabble Race #2

“Think we should go all the way this time?”

Wanda looks over at Darcy, hazel eyes wide. They’ve gone to a strip club to hunt for a third. But they weren’t having much luck on that front. All the dancers here were either not for Wanda or not for her. Someone big and blond would be perfect. But...none of the dancers here matched the description.

“Uh..maybe? You know I get nervous in clubs...and you know...Around a lot of people..”

Darcy quirks her lip in a smile, reaching out to take Wanda’s hand.

“Hey, don’t worry, jellybean, if you aren’t ready, we don’t have to do anything tonight. We can go home and order a large pizza. Watch that true crime show you like. Consume dangerous amounts of wine.”

That gets Wanda to smile but she shakes her head.

“No, it’s alright. I’m ready and I know you’ll be there.”

Darcy is about to speak when someone comes up to their table.

“Need any refills, girls?”

Both women look up and Darcy nearly chokes on her own tongue. This guy was hot. Blond. Big. Blond, hot, and big.

“Uh...Yes..?”

Wanda squeaks and suddenly words fall out of her mouth in a nervous jumble.

“Will you have sex with us?!”

Well, not subtle but it is prompt.

Big blond blinks once slowly before a small smile breaks out on his face.

“I get off in twenty minutes. Maybe we can figure something out.”

He winks at them and Darcy definitely doesn’t swoon.

——

“Darcy stop, your gonna pull a muscle!”

Darcy ignores Carol, determined to make it to the top of the sand dune. Crash landing on a desert planet might have been kinda romantic if it hadn’t been Carol’s fault. She’d plugged in the wrong coordinates and now look what happened.

Darcy isn’t going to own up to the fact she’d been all over Carol in the pilot seat, which is probably what caused their detour.

“I’ll be fine! I can go all the way!”

As soon as she says that, she trips over her own foot and falls on her ass.

“Ouch! Dammit!”

The twinge in her back definitely meant she’d pulled a muscle.

Stupid Carol always knowing how unathletic she is. Stupid, powered aliens!

“See! Look what happened! I bet you hurt your back”, Carol says from the bottom of the dune.

Darcy hopes Carol chokes on a blueberry.

Darcyland Drabble Race #1

Darcy looks up from her textbook, locking eyes with Peter. He looks a little worried. Or maybe he said that out loud and he hadn’t meant to.

“What?”

“Uh...I mean, would it be okay if you came a little closer? So we can...um...study…? Together?”

His cheeks are slowly coloring, like they usually do when he’s around other girls. Darcy kinda wishes he only blushed for her.

“Uh..sure! Maybe you can help me figure out this chemistry problem anyway.”

She stands from her chair and walks around to the other side, tugging a chair closer before sitting next to Peter.

“Close enough”, she asks with a small smirk.

Darcy swears she hears Peter squeak has he fumbles for his own textbook.

——

Darcy couldn’t believe this was happening. Not only was she trapped in a cave with the worst person to ever be trapped in a cave with; she was cold and, apparently, Asgardians don’t feel cold like normal humans.

“I swear on all that is holy and on EVERY pantheon of deities that exist, Loki, if you don’t come over here!”

Said Asgardian rolls his eyes but actually does what she says. He sits about two feet from her, though.

Such a gentleman. Yeesh.

Darcy was never a Girl Scout, so she was shit at trying to survive on her own but maybe the power bar in her pocket would tide her over until help came. It had been Thor’s idea to try Midgardian camping. (Also, Jane could get good readings out in the woods.)

“Are you sure you can’t magic us out of here? Aren’t you good at magic?”

“I am.”

Loki remains tight-lipped, though.

Fucker.

“..Well then, can’t you get us out of here? I would ask H-man but I don’t want this nice cave to be pulverized by the Bifrost.”

“I suppose I could. I haven’t decided.”

….Was he being serious….

“Come a little closer, Loki, my hand is itching to make contact with your face.”

All she gets from him is a derisive snort.

So.  This past Saturday the Darcyverse Discord Server kicked ass with our very first game night.  Members raced to write drabbles as fast as they could in fifteen minute sprints for the grand prize of picking our movie on movie night.  It was amazing, and fun, and awesome beyond anything I can say.  From the mod team to the members: You. Guys. RULE.  We had no idea what would happen on the first game night, or if it would even work out, but you guys proved that Darcyland is boss AF at anything we do.

So. Onto the end results…

The winning team was the REVENGERS!!!!  (Listen. I’m not even going to pretend to be partial because I’m team captain so YAY!)  That being said, every team busted a move, and brought it hardcore.  We ended up with nearly 100 drabbles written in one day.   100.  That’s ridiculous considering we had four sprints of fifteen minutes each.  So basically total time spend writing all these drabbles was an hour.  Some people even continued sprinting on their own after the race was over, because they were having so much fun.  People who have never written before joined in and created incredible drabbles, and people who weren’t able to race this time cheered everyone on.  There. Was. So. Much. Fandom. Fun.  I’m still smiling. :D

Here are the stats for the OG Drabble Race!

Revengers: 55

—————

“Take me or leave me, Loki, because I can’t be stuck here on Earth without you again.”

Loki has the wherewithal to look chastened. The Asgardian looks at his feet, clear his throat before speaking.

“Earth is not my only concern, Darcy. You know it hasn’t been and that it never will be.”

Darcy grits her teeth and grips the handle of her mug harder. Stupid Asgardians and they’re stupid need to be space police.

“Then I don’t want to see you again. I don’t care if you come back to find me, because you won’t be able to find me. I never knew I was that insignificant to you.”

She turns away, blinking back the tears in her eyes. Stupid emotions.

She hears a soft gust of wind and when she turns around, Loki is gone.

——

“Take me or leave me? The song from Rent?”

Peter looks up from his notebook, meeting eyes with Darcy where she sits across from him in the Midtown High library.

“Yeah, I liked it. Maybe that’d be a good title for your mock novel for Mrs. Haynes’ class. She likes Broadway, right?”

Darcy nods, tapping her pencil eraser against her teeth. Peter is right. Haynes loves anything Broadway. They always read something that’s shown on Broadway for the literature unit.

Honestly, the only reason Darcy even knew ‘take me or leave me’ was a Rent song because Mrs. Haynes regarded it highly and has posters of it on one of the classroom walls.

“Well, I guess you win, Parker. See you after school”, Darcy leans over and pecks him on the lips before gathering her things before the lunch bell rings. He sputters and Darcy gets a small vision of his flushed cheeks.

“Oh and Peter?”

Peter looks up from his homework, cheeks still flushed brightly.

“Yeah…?”

“Maybe you can teach me all about Rent this weekend? Take the offer or leave it.”

Darcy winks before leaving, her own cheeks flushed at what she’d just offered.

[caffeinated-mcu]

yeehaw?

—————-

“You….never said there would be dragons.”

Darcy squinted down from her spot in the tree, sword arm awkwardly pinned against the trunk. The dragon isn’t really attacking them, it’s just kinda laying there in the grass at the bottom of a mountain.

Hopefully the sun glinting off her armor won’t wake it up.

“Of course I didn’t! You would’ve chickened out if I did!”, Peter grouses, holding tight to his oak staff so it doesn’t shatter to pieces on the ground below.

“Well, I feel that if we’re sent on a quest, we should know about any possible dragon sightings!”

Peter yelps and clutches are Darcy, shaking the limb they’ve perched on. Darcy grumbles but holds Peter tighter against her side. She wasn’t bringing the boy back a mangled lump if she could help it.

“Okay, I think I know what to do.”

Once she’d ascribed her plan, there was only minimal swearing from the little magus, so it had to be a good idea.

Right?

Slowly making her way down the tree trunk, she’d put away her sword but taken out a wicked-looking knife instead. It wasn’t ideal but it would have to suffice. The only thing to do now is to access the dragon’s soft underbelly and strike. Darcy touched her feet to the ground and immediately whirled around, not expecting the dragon to suddenly be upon her.

Fucking noisy armor.

——

Darcy jolted awake to the sound of an alarm.

“Stay back, beast!”, she slurs, looking around the room.

Oh...Peter’s basement.

“Welcome back to the world of the living!” she hears, looking over to see May, Peter’s aunt coming down the stairs.

It was a dream then.

“I see you and the boys were up late playing your game again last night. You kids will waste your summer down here.”

May begins to nudge Darcy’s friends, who’d ended up falling asleep in various positions around the room. Quill had ended up in the blanket fort, Tony had commandeered the couch and Peter, sweet little Peter, had ended up halfway on the floor and halfway in his chair.

“Sorry, Miss Parker, the campaign got crazy last night. I think we all fell asleep about halfway through.”

“Did you dream of dragons, Darcy? I see one has taken up residence on your face.”

Darcy finally notices something is stuck to her cheek with drool.

Gross.

She peels it off and looks down. It’s a summoning card for a golden dragon.

“Oh, the dragon…”

Darcy snorts and lays the card down. May had no idea.
