I am unable to put my hands on any book I wanted to read this march, so I had a pause from reading those past 2 weeks. Every single book I wanted to borrow from the library is already borrowed. So I guess that it's time to start The Master and Margarita I bought (second-hand) last autumn.

A little bit of jam [B. R.]
Bob Reynolds x fem!mutant!reader
wc: 2.5k
Marvel and I are so fucking back, baby!! I think this mass love hysteria toward Bob is the best, and I honestly wanted to play with the "found family" trope a little because I love it so much. I hope you like it!
and if u have any idea, let me know ;)
Tumblr media
Two months had already passed.
Two months since the sky split in two, since the world almost went to hell—again—and since a dysfunctional group of dangerously competent people were thrust into the headlines as the new “heroes.” No one was sure if the title was too big or too accurate. The only clear thing was that, after surviving hell together, you had ended up sharing something more than a mission.
Now you lived in the old Avengers Tower. Together.
It wasn't an official government decision or part of any rehabilitation protocol. It just happened. Most of you didn't have a fixed place to return to, and the few who did... didn't want to return at all. So, without saying it out loud, you started staying. One night. Then a week. Then a sofa became a bed, a kitchen became a habit, and lights left on at all hours stopped seeming strange. Without seeking it, you had made it work. As if the disaster had woven an impossible routine between people who, otherwise, would never have shared more than one mission.
Nobody said it, but you knew it.
You finally, amid all that chaos, felt like you fit in somewhere. You weren’t an Avenger, you weren’t an X-Men, you were never officially from anywhere. You’d grown up far from anyone who could explain to you what to do about your mutation, and you’d spent more time evading labels than claiming them. But now… now you had a room with your name written on the door in permanent marker (thanks to Yelena), a mug for your coffee (which sometimes Alexei stole from you), and an old Bob sweatshirt that you’d sometimes find hanging on your desk chair for no reason; as if someone knew when you needed it more than you did.
So, little by little, you began to look more like a team, a real team. But also, in a way, you shared a certain familiarity that all of you definitely needed in your lives.
Weekends were occasions, without explicitly stating it, to spend time together. Sometimes you'd just gather in the living room, put on a movie, and the rest would join in, or someone would start drinking, and soon you were all doing it.
Speaking of which, that day you had decided that a few boxes of donuts wouldn't hurt you and your friends. Maybe you could even make some coffee, since with the rain that had started to fall in the city, that seemed like a good plan.
When you walked in, you could see most of them. Yelena was sitting on the floor, completely wrapped in a huge blanket, eating a bag of chips with her feet up on the coffee table. Ava was leaning against the wall, silently observing everything, her arms crossed and a neutral expression that didn't quite hide her curiosity. John Walker was flipping through a magazine upside down, clearly just pretending to read while he kept an eye on what you had brought. Alexei was snoring in the largest armchair, face up, a remote control resting on his chest, as if it were a sacred artifact. Bucky was leaning against the counter, probably making himself a drink or reviewing policy documents.
And Bob… Bob was probably in his room. You noticed he was sleeping a lot lately. Not because he was lazy, not because he was idle, but because he was carrying his own mind, his memories, The Void… exhausted him in ways the others could barely understand. So none of you blamed him for taking long naps.
“I brought donuts,” you announced, in case anyone hadn’t noticed the packages you were holding.
NO one refused the food, and even Alexei, who seemed to be asleep, got up to get a couple upon hearing your announcement. You'd bought a variety of flavors, a box of classics and some more sophisticated ones, so almost all of you sat down at the coffee table to enjoy.
You exchanged a few pleasantries, talked about things that had happened and possible future missions. At one point, when everyone had already eaten at least two pieces, you saw Walker's hand reach for the box of donuts.
Serious mistake.
“NO!” you screamed, almost like a spring.
John froze, his finger brushing the blackberry's glossy glaze.
“Why not?” he asked, offended, as if you had denied him the last glass of water on the planet.
“That one’s for Bob.”
“But Bob isn’t here.”
“But it’s for him!” you insisted, crossing your arms, as if that closed the case.
“There’s more!”
“But don’t eat that one. Eat anything else.”
“It’s my favorite!”
“Well, what a shame, there’s only one and it’s not yours.”
Suddenly, everyone seemed interested in the donut. It was a blackberry donut with vanilla glaze, a small work of art in dessert form. The fluffy, lightly browned dough was covered in a smooth, glossy glaze that smelled of natural vanilla extract, not the cheap, cloying imitation. Above the glaze, a purple swirl of homemade jam snaked like a miniature galaxy, with tiny pieces of blackberry peeking out here and there like barely revealed secrets.
“I saw it first,” he replied, his hand now closer to the box.
“DON’T TOUCH IT!”
By then, Ghost had already materialized behind John, her head peeking out from over his shoulder.
"What if I cut it into two equal parts? Half for each of you."
“I said no!” you shouted.
“Do it,” John concluded, lifting the box to give it to Ava.
Yelena, sitting on the couch, gave a curious look while she chewed her third donut with total shamelessness.
"Why don't we just hide it and see who finds it first? Like a stupid, grown-up version of a treasure hunt?"
“No one’s going to hide that donut. I already told you it’s Bob’s,” you complained, twisting around to shield the box with your body as if it were a nuclear device.
Alexei, sitting at the bar with a beer in his hand, licked his lips.
"I say the only fair solution is hand-to-hand combat. Whoever wins keeps it!"
“No!” you shouted, and Bucky joined in. However, your friends had a different opinion.
“I fight,” Ghost said.
“You didn’t even want it in the first place!”
“Me too,” Walker said, already taking off his jacket.
“I can eat it while you guys fight!” Yelena said, but you had already thrown a pillow at her with surgical precision.
The room became a chaotic choreography: Walker dodging Ava, Yelena climbing the back of the couch like a cat on sugar overload, you trying to put the box on top of the cupboard, Ghost dematerializing mid-leap.
From his position, Bucky watched you like an exhausted dad and issued a warning about not breaking any of the furniture. Alexei, at his side, was shouting to encourage the fight.
Peace only returned when a sleepy voice was heard from the hallway:
“Why are you shouting? What time is it?”
Bob peeked out, his hair a mess and his eyes still squinting from his nap. The chaos stopped. You all looked at him. And you held the box up in the air like it was a trophy.
“Take it away!”
"What?"
“Take it!” you practically ordered him.
The poor man stumbled over to you and snatched the box from you, hearing a collective sigh. You were relieved, the others were annoyed.
"What is this?"
“I bought you a donut,” you explained simply.
Then he frowned and opened the box. It was a little squashed, but the blackberry dessert was still in one piece.
Bob blinked.
“Were you all killing each other over a donut?”
Perhaps it was the incredulous tone of voice, or how ridiculous the situation sounded when said out loud, but suddenly all of you found yourself holding back a laugh. A few seconds later, laughter erupted.
“What a shitty team we are.”
“We can share it, if you want…”
"Yes!"
“No!” you shouted in unison. Bob flinched slightly at the tone of your voice. “Walker can choke on all that’s left, but that one’s for you.”
You said it in a way that left no room for argument and he smiled slightly.
“It’s my favorite.”
“That’s what I said!” John complained. However, he didn’t pursue the matter further and approached the others, taking two more donuts as a sign of resignation.
As quickly as chaos had appeared, it was gone.
Alexei occasionally expressed his approval of what had just happened, arguing that this kind of situation was an exercise in group bonding. You thought you heard Bucky call you idiots, but in a tone that made it clear he didn't mean it.
"Here"
Your murmur brought Bob out of his thoughts, and he smiled broadly when you placed a mug in his hand. It was a gift from Yelena and was inscribed with: Today is a good day. Very appropriate, in your opinion.
"Thanks”
“Two of milk and one of sugar,” you announced with satisfaction.
His happiness only increased when he realized that you were actually paying attention to him.
You plopped down next to him on the soft couch—most people's favorite when it came to a nap—and he shrank down to give you space, sitting in the lotus position as he always did.
You watched him out of the corner of your eye. That day, he was wearing a thick, slightly baggy olive-green sweater with slightly long sleeves. The color had a muted hue, like moss or old pine, which brought out the sparkle in his eyes.
There was a white T-shirt underneath, barely visible at the neck. A pair of soft, dark gray sweatpants, the kind with drawstrings and deep pockets. And on his feet, a pair of dark socks with which he glided around the tower.
He didn't look scruffy, just comfortable.
“I got scared a little while ago. I thought something bad was happening.”
You let out a soft chuckle at his confession, feeling the tension in the air melt away.
“I’m sorry we woke you up.”
“Don’t worry. At least it wasn’t in vain,” he smiled reassuringly, taking a sip of his hot drink. The steam brushed his face before he opened the dessert box and looked at him with more than just hunger.
“How did you know this was my favorite?” he asked, surprised, as he carefully turned the box over in his hands.
“You told me.”
He looked up at you, clearly confused.
“Well… you didn’t tell me directly. I heard you muttering it in your sleep.”
“Do I talk in my sleep?”
“Apparently so. And you actually answer. Because when you said I'd give you a donut, I asked you what you were talking about… and you said you wanted this one.”
"How embarrassing.”
“It’s kinda cute, if you think about it.”
The rest of the group was absorbed in their conversations, muted laughter, and the occasional impromptu board game. Between you, the air felt more intimate, softer.
Bob took a bite of the donut. The slight crackle of the glaze broke with the sound of a deep sigh, as if something inside had loosened.
“When I was a good kid, my mom used to give me money to buy one of these,” his voice lowered slightly, almost as if he wasn’t sure if he should share “It wasn’t all the time, of course. And sometimes we went together, on the… the better days, you know. I think everything seemed simpler back then.”
He was silent for a moment.
“I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately, maybe that’s why I mentioned it in my sleep.”
“Oh… I… had no idea.”
“But it's a good thing. I forgot how good it tastes” a soft, nostalgic smile spread across his face. “I always liked this flavor because it has just the right amount of sweetness, with a hint of sourness. “I feel like it’s very similar to what life is like.”
He was silent again for a second, fiddling with the napkin between his fingers.
“It’s probably not something you’re interested in, but…”
“Yes, I’m interested,” you quickly interrupted “Any story you want to tell us will interest us, Bob. There’s Alexei with all his anecdotes from his years in the service… we’ve never complained, even though he tells them over and over again.”
He laughed a little, brief but genuine.
“Do you want to try some?”
“But it’s yours”
“I'd like you to try it. It's something I want to share.”
You hesitated for only a second before accepting. You leaned closer and took a small bite from the side opposite the one he'd tried. The flavor was more intense than you expected: sweet, sour, and smooth all at the same time.
Bob watched you silently, as if observing your reactions was more important than the dessert itself. When your lips curved into a smile, he nodded, satisfied.
“It's delicious.”
“Um, you have a little bit of jam left…” he said softly, leaning slightly towards you. He raised a hand, hesitant, then pointed a finger at your lower lip “This way.”
His gaze dropped to your mouth. The air seemed to stop for a moment.
For a moment, just a moment, it seemed as if he was going to lean closer. That he was going to wipe the jam off with his lips instead of his hand.
His eyes searched yours. And then, he took a deep breath. He lowered his hand, barely brushing your chin with his fingertips, and pulled away with a shy smile.
"That's it."
You didn't say anything at first. The warmth was still there, floating in the air, unnamed.
“You should, uh, drink your coffee. Before it gets cold.”
Your friend nodded at your suggestion and after that you tried to shake the nervousness from your mind, ignoring the sting that still burned where he had touched you.
Minutes later, fatigue began to take its toll. The noise of the group became a distant murmur, almost like a lullaby in the background. Bob leaned back slightly on the couch, still holding his cup in one hand. Without thinking twice, you approached and rested your head on his shoulder.
“Do you mind if I stay like this for a while?” you asked quietly.
“No. Stay”
His words were gentle. There was something so serene about him that made you close your eyes. Your arm instinctively reached for his, wrapping it around him in a gesture that didn't ask for permission, only offered shelter.
Bob stayed still, careful with every movement, as if breathing deeply could bother you. He felt your weight against his side, your breathing slowing. The warmth of your body was unlike any blanket; it was human, alive.
He felt held, loved, in a way he hadn't known he needed so much.
The team was always affectionate toward him. Many patted him on the back, hugged him unexpectedly, or sat very close without question. But this… this was different. It wasn't a casual display of affection. It was something that asked him to stay. Something that said: you're safe here.
He looked at you once more. You were already asleep, your lips parted and your brow barely relaxed. And although the chair wasn't entirely comfortable, and the noise continued in the background, Bob didn't want to move.
Not that night.

DC XDP Fic idea: Gamer Boy
Mr. and Mrs. Fenton are well known for turning objects found around the house into ghost-fighting gear. This was partially to save money on materials and partially because the Fentons were geniuses like that.
They had no trouble changing an object's entire purpose. It was awe-inspiring if you didn't live with them and misplaced something.
What happened to the TV remote? It's now a controller for the defense of house security weapons.
What happened to the third chair at the dinner table? It's now the main anchor for the ghost shield at the top of the house.
Where were the forks? Melted down to create the Spector-Glider jetpack, allowing any hunter on the go to fly right after the ecto-foes!
Danny learned to keep everything he wanted to be left alone in his room (Jack and Maddie had a rule not to bother the kids' safe spaces); otherwise, it would somehow become gear. His room was messy, but he knew where everything was and when he placed it there.
They vanished if he didn't.
It was odd to be so well aware of his things, but it was a fact of life he accepted growing up in the Fenton Household, like the food coming back to life. When they came to visit, his friends knew he had a strict rule of leaving everything in his room.
So, really, there was no reason for this mistake to happen. Sadly, he's gotten a bit careless since the whole Phantom thing. This is his downfall. See, it started the day Tucker brought home a cool new mobile gaming console, lending it to Danny after his parents refused to buy it for him due to his grades.
He had been excited to curl up in a ball on his bed and play the mobile version of Doom. No computer needed, connecting to the world wide web and with a ton of new updates- some even inspired by him when he went into the game last time, and some developer saw him- it was everything he wanted to spend his Friday afternoon on.
Then, a new ghost yells about wanting to be the best showgirl this town has ever seen and starts Can-caning into buildings. She was from before Amity Park was even a town or a city. She was a ghost from the late eighteen hundreds who had arrived in what would have been his hometown with the few settlers who had tricked her.
From what Sam discovered, she had been promised a stage, her name on the headliners as the best performer, and riches beyond belief. What she got instead was a bartender job where the men laughed and mocked her dreams. They wanted something pretty to serve their drinks and would not pay her for it.
She was working to be fed and to keep a roof over her head.
She was too poor to leave and had no family willing to lend a hand after her father warned her that if she ran off to chase her dreams, he would cut her off.
Danny could understand why she hated the sight of this place flourishing and booming when in life it had been her cave but he couldn't let her break it all down. The fight with her last hours then days and finally weeks before he was able to put her away in the Zone.
He had been so exhausted that it wasn't until Tucker asked for his console back that he realized he had had it for a whole month and had not gotten past the main menu.
The worst was putting it in the living room drawer on his way out for a fight. That was a week ago. Rushing home, Danny was relieved to find it still in the same place, untouched by his parent's fingers.
He was supposed to return it to Tucker the following morning, and since no one else was home, he could at least leave it on for a few hours. Not bothering to change back into Fenton, Danny floated in the air, eyes dropping but determined to enjoy this game if it killed him.
The second he powered it on, a woman's voice beeped in a familiar chilling tone.
"Ghost detected. Activating FentonTrap."
He tried to drop it, but it had a similar concept to the Fenton Thermos. His hands were stuck to the metal, and thrashing about wasn't doing anything but fling him through the air.
Before he knew it, he was sucked right into the screen. He screamed, but no one was around to listen. Just his luck. The gaming console turned into a ghost bear trap, falling the second he was sucked into.
It landed in Jazz's cardboard box of old things she had set aside to donate. She was moving out for college and felt it was good to give it away to the less fortunate.
Danny panicked inside the gaming console, floating into a box of darkness with nothing but the screen acting like a window to see out into the real world. Unlike when he entered the game, he had no control over his surroundings or the settings.
He waited a few hours, and as soon as Jazz came down from her bedroom the following morning, he tried screaming as loud as he could to get her attention. But she didn't react. Not even when he pushed his ectoplasm into the screen, holding it would do something.
The game was off. Jazz wasn't a gaming type of person, so she felt no need to turn it on when she was opening the box with tape. Danny could do nothing as she loaded it into her car and drove it to a nearby Wayne Foundation donation center. He hoped someone would pick him up and turn on the console so he could get help.
It was the very latest system. Someone had to be tempted.
But no such luck.
He was moved through hands, everyone assuming that this was only donated if it was busted. It didn't help their assumptions that the darn thing randomly beeped and cried out, "Ghost detected!". Danny tried repeatedly to get someone's attention, but he always failed and was moved between centers across the country, watching time move on without him.
Being inside the GhostTrap was a strange pain. He didn't need food or water, but he felt starved. He missed the sun on his skin, the voices of people speaking to him and not around him, and his family.
A family probably losing their minds looking for him. Danny Fenotn had vanished at fifteen years old, and the earth kept turning. He was stuck there, never aging, never moving, and always watching as years passed.
He stayed long enough for the console to become outdated, and people stopped even considering taking him home.
Eventually, Danny was pushed into the retro gaming boxes, sealed up, and moved across the states. He ended up in a pawn shop in a bigger city, placed in a glass case facing up. I was far more interested in him than the community depot the Waynes had him in.
He watched daily as various shady people entered Crime Alley's best pawn shop and traded multiple items for cash. He had stopped trying to get people's attention at this point. A little over a decade of inability to communicate did that to a person.
Danny sat back, watching people from below place cash on the counter items and wonder about them. Sometimes, they would peer down at him, getting close enough to fog up the glass, but never ask for him.
Until one day, a tiny little boy wandered in, clutching a few dollars. He said he got the money, and Hans (the pawn shop owner) didn't ask. He just counted out the bill for the tiny thing and told him what he could buy with it.
Danny was shocked to see those blue eyes sparkle with glee when they landed on his system. The boy was told that it might be busted because Hans was a good man to children, but he happily claimed he had never had a video game before, and a broken one was better than none.
The boy clutched the game tightly to his chest, slipping him into his pocket with great care, and ran home. Not that Danny could see where that home was. All he got was an eyeful of lint and a half-eaten lollipop.
It didn't stop his heart from leaping in his chest as the newfound hope he had long ago given up on bursting into flames along his rib cages. The second the boy was in his home, he washed after his mother yelled at him to bathe and eat, and he powered on Tucker's system after nearly a decade.
At once, Danny's surroundings changed into a bright light, and his powers could finally pass the screen. He rushed at it, feeling himself slipping through the traps as powering on the console seemed to be the same button as "release".
He flies out, throwing his arms wide open and laughing because, finally, after so long, he is free. He spins in circles, bathing in the feeling of air, even if it's a bit stale. He strains his eyes to listen to the city outside after everything has been so muffled, just seeing the real world.
The boy was pressed against the wall, his wide blue eyes staring up at Danny in suppressed fear. He was obviously on the poorer side, with his mattress on the floor and clothes so faded they might as well be white with a bit of color stains, but Danny didn't care.
"You set me free!" He tells the child, floating before him, "Thank you!"
The boy's mouth opens and closes- isn't it odd that he hasn't heard his name so far- before his wide blue eyes widen. "Are you a genie?"
"Hmm?" Danny wants to talk to him properly but is too busy taking everything in. He is feeling the real world again, seeing color, and feeling the walls.
No wonder his old foes kept trying to come back here. The world was a wonderful place to be in.
"You are! Like the one Aladdin found! I know my first wish. I wish my mom was sober."
Danny doesn't know who Aladdin is, but that... is a sad wish. Oddly enough, he does know how to make it come true. He had been studying under FrostBite after realizing he couldn't be an astronaut anymore and had found that his ectoplasm had a side effect of healing humans.
In theory, it should make her sober.
He considers the boy's earnest and hopeful eyes and thinks I do owe him.
"Alright, bring me to your mom. I'm Danny, by the way. Danny Phantom."
"I'm Jason!" Jason cheers, rushing to the door of his small little bedroom and grabbing Danny's hand on the way. He's practically dragging him to a small living room.
There, leaning against the wall, is a woman, her head bobbing side to side, muttering things under her breath and looking like a mess. There was a needle near her leg. This makes Danny grimace, especially with how easily Jason accepts it.
He places his hands on her face- reeling at the feeling of other humans again!- and pushes his ectoplasm into her body, removing anything he can find that shouldn't be there. He's repairing the damages done by the drugs to her body as he does so.
It might not stop her from doing more in the future, but the addiction is gone. She will no longer crave it.
When he pulls his hands off her, Jason lets out a little gasp by his side. Already, his mother looks healthy. Skin no longer shrunken, hair growing back, skin smooth and blemished free, and a rosy tint to her cheeks.
Now she's just a pretty woman nappin' against the wall with her son holding her hand, looking like he just witnessed a miracle.
Danny isn't sure how he can explain that she could just start up again and tear apart everything he fixed. It feels wrong to speak it as the boy snuggles close to her, crying silent little tears.
"I know what I want my next wish to be" Jason whispers. He looks Danny straight in the eyes when he says, "I wish you were my big brother."
And that is sad, too. But it gives him a reason to stick around and ensure she doesn't put this kid through this again. Besides, he's been missing for twelve years and hasn't changed much. He's scared to go back and has nothing to return to.
Danny shifts into his home form, making the little boy gasp again. "Do I pass as your brother?"
"Yes! You look a lot like me!" Jason beams, "Mom will be so excited to meet you!"
Oh,, he will ensure she is. After all, he needed to scare her straight. Maybe he can find a job to help her get Jason all the games he wants in the world.
Danny Fenton went missing all those years ago. The World kept spinning, but now Danny Todd was spinning with it.

Reverse isekai... Caleb... Cat... Part 2 Link Ao3 Link
Caleb loved you more than anything in this world. 
Or at least, that's what you would've liked to imagine if he was real. But he isn't. And you're not in a pixelated little world called Linkon City and none of your hopes and dreams about having a happily ever after with your military husband and childhood best friend were coming true. 
You stared at the fanfic left open on the phone screen, wishing to see your husband in your dreams to ease the ache of loving someone you could never have while in your loneliest moments. 
If only he could be real. If only he could become real from Astra knows what power and fall in love all over again. With you this time instead of the MC who seemed to resemble anything but you. If only. Too much to ask for, yes, you know. 
No, he wasn't real, and no, he wasn't there to fall in love with you as you did with him. And you had your own life to live and work to do and tough times to get through on your own tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that. 
So, leaving you no other choice, you drifted off to sleep as the delusion shattering ache in your heart seeped in.
-
It was raining. You opened up your umbrella next to the entrance of your workplace, greeting your coworkers goodbye. You were tired. Your brain was fried from working since morning and you felt like the walking dead. 
The thoughts of cooking something up for dinner made you feel like flopping down on the sidewalk you were walking on and passing out. You had the free will to do that, of course, but the rain pitter pattering along with your dragged steps only reminded you of all the cleaning you would have to do after practicing your so-called free will. 
The street lights turned on and you continued onward, just a block away from your home. 
As you walked by an alleyway, your heart almost jumped out of your chest at the sound of metal clashing onto the ground. You froze, holding your breath as you turned around. 
You waited. 
One beat. Two beats. 
Nothing. 
And then, there it was again, the sound of something thuding around. 
Without thinking, you made your way towards the source of the sound, your heart bearing in your ears. A dumpster came into view. 
Something, or someone, seemed to be struggling inside. You called out. 
“Hello..? Is anyone in there..?” Your voice trembled. 
No reply.
You slowly got close to the dumpster and opened the cover with shaking hands. 
Widened blue-pink eyes with a pair of black ears and tail stared up at you through the piles of garbage. 
“What the fuck?”
-
The cat jumped out of your hold as soon as you entered your home, shaking off water from its fur and scampering away from you as fast as it could while you were struggling to put down the wet umbrella. 
“Okay, rude? I bring you home with me to avoid the guilty conscience that would follow tomorrow if I found you dead from the cold somewhere and you pay me off by drenching my floorboards!”
You let out a frustrated sigh. 
He silently watched you from a corner of the room as you made your way to the kitchen island to wash off your hands. 
“Make yourself at home, I guess..” You mumbled, more to yourself than to him. 
I have a cat in my apartment. What now? 
-
First and foremost, it was bathtime. You were NOT about to let a stinky ass wet fur ball run around your home. 
You tried to pick him up again but he bolted around the living room, paw pads making skittering noises in the process.
After about 10 minutes of running around, you gave up, standing defeated. You called out to him as a last resort. 
“I just want to give you a bath. Please.”
“Mreow!” He protested, sitting on top of the kitchen island. 
“Fine. Whatever. Live with the stink all you want. I'm tired and you're taking up my gaming time.” You rolled your eyes. 
Maybe leaving him alone for a while will ease him a little.. You hoped. 
And so, you turned around and sat down on the couch with the TV remote in hand, ready to open YouTube and rewatch the same goddamn trailer for the 100th time. 
[Love and Deepspace | Caleb's Trailer]
-
He didn't know how he ended up here. One moment he was feeling immense, needle pricking pain across his entire body, the next he was in a dumpster. With paws instead of hands. And the world seemed thrice as large and intimidating. 
Well, At least I have shelter from the rain for now.. Though I feel like a wet rat. 
He watched the girl settle down on the couch. 
I wonder how long I can stay here. I need to figure things out..
Then, he heard something that caught his eye. 
“What, you don't recognize me?”
He stared at the video playing on the TV screen. 
“Did you honestly think I would always be the kind hearted boy from your childhood?”
His ears perked up, all pointy, and his eyes widened. 
That's me. 
He watched as the figure on the screen bit an apple as lightning flashed in the background. 
That. Is. Me. On the TV.

The email came at 3:12 a.m.
You didn’t check it right away—you were halfway through disassembling your beretta on the kitchen table, fingers slick with oil, an old jazz record crackling faintly from the busted speaker in the corner.
Outside, another storm carved itself across the city skyline. Rain hammered the tin roof. Wind screamed through the alley like it was trying to claw its way in.
You'd gotten used to nights like this. The quiet ones. The hollow ones. The ones where silence curled around your spine like a second skin. Where sleep didn’t come easy and ghosts sat in the corners.
But you never ignored a message from Val.
Especially not one marked URGENT.
You slid the half-cleaned barrel aside and reached for your tablet. The screen flickered to life, illuminating the room in cold blue.
A notification pulsed at the top corner, her name bold, bureaucratic, unmistakable. You hesitated for a second. Not out of fear, just instinct. You always read the fine print before you let something gut you.
You tapped the message open.
FROM: [email protected] SUBJECT: URGENT: Field Assignment Target: Codename OMEGA. Ex-military. Ex-Hydra. Now independent and building weapons that rival Stark’s worst. Expanding faster than Hydra ever did. You’ll be compensated generously, you’re the best tracker I’ve got. And Barnes could use your help. — V
You stared at the screen for a long time.
Barnes.
Your thumb hovered at the edge of the table, tapping once. Twice. Again.
That name wasn’t a landmine—it was a fucking extinction-level event. A seismic crack straight through your chest.
You hadn’t seen it typed out in over two years.
Not since you deleted every message.
Every photo. Every voicemail.
Not since you shoved him—all of him—into a vault inside your mind and welded the door shut.
Even thinking it felt like betrayal. The air shifted around you. Denser. Sharper. You weren’t sure if it was rage or something colder coiling under your ribs, but it made it hard to breathe.
You rose from the table without realising it, pacing to the window. The alley outside was bathed in harsh shadows, neon from the liquor store sign across the street painting everything a violent red.
You could still remember the last time you said his name aloud. It hadn’t been soft. Or sweet. It had been a whisper strangled by tears. 
Just a few months ago, you had seen his face again. Unintentionally. On your shitty television, the one balanced on a rusted ammo crate next to your gear bags. You were flipping through channels to avoid your own thoughts—when suddenly, there she was.
Val, in that smug little purple coat, standing on some makeshift podium like a bad dream. Flanked by the press, and smiling like the devil.
"Meet the new Avengers."
And there he was. Bucky.
Your hand froze around the remote.
He was different. A little older. Clean-cut, almost polished. But not really. There was still something haunted behind the eyes. Something wild under the surface.
You knew that look. You’d memorised it—held it in your hands during the worst nights. It was the way he looked when he didn’t know how to stay. The way he looked at you.
You didn’t watch for more than a few seconds.
Didn’t listen to what he said.
You clicked the screen off.
Walked out of the room like it hadn’t just set a match to the walls you’d spent years rebuilding.
The last you’d heard, he was a congressman. Or maybe that was just another lie the world told itself to sleep easier at night.
You’d made it a rule not to keep tabs. Not to reach out. Not even when you missed him so much you thought your skin might split.
It was the only way you’d survived.
Now this.
Now Val was offering you money. A job. A mission.
But not just any mission. One that meant going back into the field. Tracking a target dangerous enough to spook even her.
A weapons dealer with enough firepower to start another war, based in Romania, deep-pocketed, ex-military, rumoured to be building something worse than Stark tech.
You could do it. Of course you could.
You were trained for it. One of the best assassins still walking—invisible, untraceable, lethal.
Val hadn’t exaggerated. You were the best.
But this wasn’t about the mission.
This was about him.
Working with him. Seeing him again.
Smelling him. Hearing his voice.
Pretending it didn’t hollow you out.
God, after everything— After everything—
You clenched your jaw until your teeth ached and looked back at the screen.
Val didn’t know your history. Of course she didn’t. She wouldn’t have sent the message if she did. Or maybe she did know, and sent it anyway. You wouldn’t put it past her.
Your reflection in the glass caught your eye. Same eyes. Same scars. But the woman looking back wasn’t the one he loved. Not anymore.
Maybe she never was.
You sat back down slowly. The room was too quiet now. The Beretta still lay in pieces on the table, glinting dully under the bare bulb overhead. The silence felt like a countdown.
Your hand moved on its own. You tapped out a reply.
I’ll take it.
Tumblr media
You could still remember the night he left. 
It had started like all the other nights.
Angry, messy and quiet in all the wrong places.
You’d fought again. You couldn’t even remember what about, maybe it didn’t matter. It never really did. It was always about the same things—the silences, the avoidance. 
The way he wouldn’t talk to you unless it was laced in something defensive. The way your voice always seemed to crack just before you said something unforgivable.
The apartment was dark, save for the sliver of streetlight cutting through the blinds and the faint hum of the heater that never quite worked right. 
You were sitting on the edge of the bed, spine tight, fists curled in the sheets. Your chest still heaved from the shouting match, breath shaky, shallow. 
You hated crying in front of him. But it was happening anyway.
Behind you, he stood by the door, tall, unmoving, arms crossed like holding onto himself was the only thing keeping him from saying something worse. 
Bucky hadn’t spoken in minutes. That always scared you more than the yelling. The quiet.
“I can’t keep doing this,” you finally whispered, voice raw.
He didn’t respond.
You turned to look at him, forcing your voice to steady. “Say something.”
He looked up then, and his eyes, God, his eyes. There was no softness left in them tonight. Just exhaustion, grief wrapped in the shape of a man.
“I don’t know what you want me to say,” he said quietly.
Your heart clenched so hard it hurt. “I want you to act like you still fucking care.”
“I do care,” he bit out. “That’s the damn problem.”
The silence that followed was loud. So loud it made your ears ring.
Bucky’s jaw tensed as he stepped forward slowly, stopping just in front of you.
His voice dropped lower, strained, like it hurt him to say it. “You think I don’t care because I don’t yell back anymore? Because I don’t chase you when you storm out? I stopped chasing you because every time I do, you just run further.”
Your throat burned. “I’m not the only one running.”
That landed. You saw it, in the way his expression faltered, just for a second.
“I lost everyone, Buck,” you continued, voice cracking. “Nat. Steve. The world fucking flipped inside out. I came back and people I loved were either dead or moved on. And you—you were the only thing that felt real.”
He didn’t say a word.
“I just kept thinking… maybe if we held on tighter, we could—”
“Break each other slower?” he cut in.
The words hit you like a slap. Brutal, cold and unflinching.
You blinked at him, stunned. “Is that what you think we’re doing?”
“I think we’re trying to survive a war that already ended,” he said, a little softer now. “And neither of us came out whole.”
Your eyes stung. But you didn’t want to cry. 
Not again. Not in front of him. 
“So what? That’s it? You give up?”
“I didn’t say that.” he protested.
“Then what are you saying?”
He ran a hand through his hair, stepped back like he needed air. Like you were suffocating him just by standing there. “I don’t know,” he admitted. “I just… I don’t know who we are anymore.”
You stood up. Walked toward him. Close, too close.
Your voice was trembling now, but you didn’t step back. “We’re us. We’re still us. You know that.”
His eyes dropped to your mouth—like he wanted to believe it. Like he couldn’t.
“You don’t get to walk away,” you whispered. “Not tonight.”
And then you kissed him.
It wasn’t soft. It was desperate. 
The fight dissolved the moment your mouths met. Your hands went to his jaw, to his hair, pulling him in like you could anchor yourself inside him.
He kissed you back like a man unraveling, like he had no other language left. His hands gripped your waist, guiding you backward until your spine met the bedroom wall.
Clothes came off in clumsy, frantic movements. Tugged shirts. Shaking fingers. Gasps caught in the quiet like smoke. His lips trailed down your throat, your chest, his mouth everywhere—hot and hungry.
He pushed inside you with a groan, and your legs wrapped around his waist like instinct, like need. Your hips lifted to meet his, the angle bruising, perfect.
It wasn’t gentle, it never was when you fought.
Every thrust was a plea. Every moan a memory.
He held you like he wanted to stay. Fucked you like he didn’t know how to leave.
“Bucky,” you gasped, head falling back as he drove deeper.
“Yeah, sweetheart,” he murmured into your neck, voice wrecked. “I know. I’ve got you.”
Your nails raked down his back. Your mouth caught his in a sloppy, hungry kiss. You’d done this so many times, made love like it was the only language you both still understood.
And maybe it was.
When you came, it was with a cry muffled into his shoulder. Your body trembled around him, and he held you through every wave. He followed soon after, voice breaking on your name as his hips stuttered, as he buried himself deep inside you, like he could stay there forever.
For a while, you just lay there. Breathing.
You were curled against his chest, your hand resting over his heart, still pounding hard beneath your palm. His arm was around your waist. His other hand gently cradled the back of your neck. He pressed a kiss to your hair.
And then—he spoke.
“We can’t keep doing this.”
Your whole body stilled.
You pulled back just enough to see his face. “What?”
He didn’t meet your eyes.
“This,” he said. “Us. The fights. The sex. The pretending, (y/n) it's killing us.”
“No,” you said quickly, shaking your head. “No, we can fix it. We always do.”
“This isn’t fixing anything,” he said, voice quieter now. “We're just stalling the inevitable.”
Your eyes filled again, but you blinked fast, furious. “So what? You want to end it?”
He hesitated.
That hesitation was worse than anything he could’ve said.
“Say it,” you whispered. “If that’s what you want, just say it.”
He looked at you then. Really looked. He looked wrecked, like every word he said carved him open too.
“I don’t want to hurt you anymore,” he said. “I’m not what you need. Maybe I never—.”
“Don’t say that,” you breathed. “Don’t you dare—”
He kissed you again.
Slow. Final.
And when he pulled away, it was like something tore loose inside your chest. Like a rib cracked open and your lungs forgot how to work.
“I love you, god, I do,” he said. “But we’re not good for each other.”
You stared at him, heart breaking open like glass.“Then why does this hurt so much?”
He looked at you—like it was killing him not to reach for you.
“Because I loved you,” he said, voice wrecked. “And I still couldn’t make it right.”
He left before sunrise. You didn’t sleep for three days.
Tumblr media
Bucky hated briefings.
He hated the fluorescents. The cold coffee. The recycled air. He hated the staged professionalism, the smug undertone in Val’s voice, and the folders she always slapped down like a final hand in poker.
But he showed up anyway, half-shaven, black t-shirt clinging to the sweat along his spine, bruises still blooming across his ribs from the chase in Istanbul just a day ago.
A smuggler had gotten lucky with a crowbar and he had returned the favour with a shattered wrist.
Val didn’t even glance up when he entered the room.
“Took you long enough,” she muttered, flipping through a file like she hadn’t been waiting. “Sit.”
He dropped into the chair across from her, spine loose but jaw tight, watching her like he was waiting for the punchline.
“You said it was urgent.”
“It is.”
She slid the top folder toward him across the steel table. No smile. Just business.
“Weapons dealer. Codename: OMEGA. Ex-military and former Hydra, bastard’s freelancing now, he’s building something, Stark-level tech, maybe worse. We don’t know but black market says it’s mobile, adaptive, and spreading faster than anything Hydra ever managed.”
Bucky flipped the folder open, glancing over the first photo. Satellite images. Grainy outlines of a compound nestled in the Carpathians. Weapon crates stamped with false serials. And a man, dark-haired, lean, with a half-smile that made Bucky’s gut twist.
“You want me to take him out?”
“No,” Val said, narrowing her eyes. “Not yet. I want you to find him. Get intel. Map the pipeline. This asshole is exporting something fast, quiet, and powerful, and nobody knows how yet.”
He leaned back in the chair, nodding slowly. “So who’s running point with me?”
That was when she smiled. It wasn’t a kind smile. It never was.
“Someone sharp. Knows the terrain like it’s etched into their bloodstream. I needed someone OMEGA wouldn’t see coming, a ghost, basically.” She pulled a second folder from beneath the stack and laid it down with calculated weight.
“So I found the best.”
Bucky’s chest went still.
She tapped the folder once. “You’ve worked together before.”
His eyes didn’t move. Not yet. He didn’t need to look to know. Something low and cold began to unfurl inside him.
“Who?” he asked, already knowing.
Val didn’t skip a beat. “She’s from the Red Room, trained with Romanov. One of the sharpest trackers I’ve ever seen, maybe the best. You worked with her back in 2016. Rogers brought her in to help you disappear for a few weeks.” She looked up at him. “That ring any bells?”
His throat dried out.
Of course it rang a bell. Of course it cracked the whole goddamn church tower.
“She ghosted after the Blip,” Val went on, oblivious to the way the blood had drained from his face. “Merc work. Off-grid. Her name comes up every few years, always attached to success stories. She doesn’t come cheap, but lucky for us, she said yes.”
Bucky didn’t blink. Didn’t breathe. His hands had gone still in his lap.
Val cocked her head slightly. “Problem?”
He exhaled slowly through his nose, forcing his tone flat. “No. Just surprised.”
“Don’t be. I told you I wanted the best.”
And she meant it, that was the thing. 
Val had no idea. None. 
She was looking at him like she’d made a smart tactical move, like this was just another piece on her chessboard.
She didn’t know you were more than a name on a file. Didn’t know that just hearing your name was like being punched in the ribs with a memory.
Of course you said yes. Of course you did.
Bucky looked down at the folder, the one he hadn’t opened. The one that already felt like it was burning through the table. His fingers twitched, fighting the urge to open it. But he didn’t need to. He could already picture your face.
Exactly how you looked the last time he saw you, in that apartment, the light catching the tears on your cheek, your mouth trembling, your voice a broken whisper after one final kiss that hadn’t felt final at all.
You hadn’t spoken since. He’d made sure of that.
It wasn’t that he didn’t think you were the right choice. 
You were. You always have been. Your instincts were lethal. Precise. Back when everything was chaos, when he was hunted, bleeding, feral—you’d found him with no satellites, relying on nothing but your skills.
You’d read the rhythm of his footsteps, you’d seen the man underneath the weapon—and somehow, you’d still touched him like he was worth something.
He remembered it all.
The way you’d looked at him without fear. The way you’d spoken to him like he wasn’t broken. The way you’d fallen— And the way he’d fallen harder.
Too hard.
He clenched his jaw and rose from the chair before Val could get clever.
“When do we leave?”
Val smiled, satisfied. “She’ll be here by morning.”
He turned and left before she could say anything else.
Tumblr media
Bucky hadn’t seen you in years.
But the memory of you had never really left.
He had tried to pretend otherwise—told himself he’d locked it away. Buried it. Pushed it down into the same graveyard where the rest of his broken things lived. But the truth was simpler. Meaner.
You were everywhere.
In the way someone laughed too loud on a subway platform, in the weight of silence when he climbed into bed alone.
You’d lived beneath his skin long after you left his bed.
And sometimes, even now—in moments he didn’t expect, he could still feel you there.
He remembered the first time he saw you.
Bucharest, 2016. Steve had said your name, classified—a Red Room defector who knew the streets, the syndicates, the backchannels. A shadow that didn’t leave footprints.
He said you owed him a favour. He never said what that favour was.
You’d found him in less than forty-eight hours.
He was holed up in an abandoned tenement, hiding in corners, still haunted by trigger phrases and mission reports and words like asset and eliminate.
He hadn’t slept in two days. He hadn’t trusted anyone in longer.
Then the door creaked. A whisper of motion. And there you were, boots silent, a pistol tucked in your belt, eyes sharp enough to cut. You looked at him like you already knew every terrible thing he’d done. 
And somehow… you didn’t flinch.
“I’m not here to hurt you,” you said.
And maybe that was the first lie you ever told him. 
Because you did. Just not in the way he expected.
You’d stayed longer than Steve asked. Said the apartment wasn’t secure. Said you didn’t trust the local chatter. But you’d also started bringing back coffee in the mornings. Left food on the table without asking.
You never made him say thank you. You never asked why his hands shook when he reached for a fork.
And when he had a nightmare so violent he woke up gasping, fists clenched, blood on his tongue, you didn’t back away.
You touched his shoulder, soft and steady, and whispered his name until the past let go of his throat.
Until he remembered where he was. Until he remembered who he was.
That was the night you sat on the windowsill, legs crossed, and told him about the Red Room. 
Not all of it. Just enough. 
You told him about the girl who never shed a single tear during conditioning. Who learned pressure points before she comprehended math. Who killed a man before she learned how to braid her own hair.
He watched you in the half-light. And something broke open in him. Something painful and quiet.
“You think you’re the only one who came out wrong,” you said, voice barely above a whisper. “But I’ve got blood on my hands too.”
He didn’t know what to say.
So he kissed you.
It wasn’t gentle. It couldn’t be.
Two people clawing at each other for something that made them feel human. That made them feel alive.
You’d kissed him like you were starving. Pulled him in by the collar, pressed your body to his like you could crawl inside him and stay there. It was heat and teeth and desperation. It was need, masquerading as anger, safety masquerading as lust.
But later, when your breath had evened out and the moonlight spilled across your bare shoulder, he held you like a secret. His hand moved up and down your spine like he’d been doing it forever.
You curled into him. Stayed there. Whispered things you’d never say in daylight.
He didn’t ask about the scars. You didn’t ask about the dog tags beside his bed. You didn’t need to.
You’d already seen each other naked long before the clothes came off.
That was all it took. That was all it ever took.
Then the Blip happened. And the world ended.
He didn’t know what hurt more—watching you turn to dust in front of him, or himself coming back five years later to find out you hadn’t come back.
They say grief changes people. But this wasn’t grief. This was obliteration.
When you finally returned, months after the snap was reversed—something in you was different. Sharper. Duller. Both at once. Your eyes didn’t light up the same. Your voice came from somewhere deeper.
Bucky later learned the truth in pieces.
You hadn’t come back with the others. Not because you couldn't. But because you hadn’t wanted to.
The moment your body came back, lungs gasping, heart hammering, soul thrown back into flesh, you were alone. Dropped in a place you didn’t recognize. Somewhere cold. Ruined. A city that had moved on without you. 
No one was waiting. No one even knew you'd returned.
And when you finally made it back to what was left of the world, you found out what you’d missed.
Natasha was gone. Steve was gone.
Everything you fought for. Everyone who held you up. All of it—just gone.
You didn’t go back to the Tower. Didn’t call anyone. You vanished.
You went underground, took jobs that let you bleed. Let you disappear. Let you punish yourself in silence, in shadows, where no one could see the way grief had gutted you.
It wasn’t about survival. It wasn’t even about revenge.
It was about not being seen. Not being found.
Because if someone found you—if Bucky found you—then you’d have to admit that you were still alive.
And some days, that felt like the worst thing of all.
It took Bucky weeks to track you down.
You'd covered your tracks—burner phones, false names, cities that swallowed you whole. But he knew your patterns. Knew how you moved.
He traced whispers of a woman who never stayed long, it had led him to a crumbling outpost in Albania, an old safehouse half-buried in snow. 
You’d just come back from a mission, your knuckles bruised, your jaw clenched, blood dried at your collar.
He watched you from across the road, heart pounding, breath caught in his throat. You didn’t see him until he stepped into the light and said your name.
Soft. Like a prayer. Like a wound.
You didn’t talk about Natasha. Didn’t mention Steve. You didn’t talk at all.
And when he finally got you to come home, Bucky tried to help. God, he tried. He made you tea on the nights sleep wouldn’t come. Sat outside the bathroom door when you locked it, listening to the sound of your breath breaking apart through panic. 
He held you when you let him—which wasn’t often—and never asked for more. And when the words ran dry, when silence grew sharp enough to cut, he touched you like he could piece you back together. Made love to you like it might be enough, like it might remind you how to stay.
But you didn’t come back to him. Not really.
And if he was honest, neither did he.
The world had cracked open. And when it tried to reassemble itself, the pieces didn’t fit.
He still loved you, that had never changed. 
But love isn’t always soft. Sometimes it’s sharp, jagged. 
Sometimes it’s made of splinters and sutures. Sometimes it bleeds.
And this one did.
The fights started small.
You stayed out too late. You took contracts without telling him. Vanished without explanation. Returned like nothing had happened—blood on your hands, silence in your eyes.
“Where were you?” “I handled it.” “You don’t have to handle things alone anymore.” “Don’t tell me what to do, Bucky.”
It escalated.
You screamed. He slammed doors.
You made love like it was the last time, every time. You clung to him like he was the only thing keeping you from drowning. He kissed you like he couldn’t bear the thought of breathing without you.
You cried once—during.
He kissed the tears from your cheeks and didn’t ask why.
And the next morning, neither of you said a word.
He had left before sunrise.
Quiet. Measured. Like if he moved too fast, the goodbye would catch fire.
Hours earlier, you’d clung to each other like maybe it could still work. Like maybe the way he held you—deep and slow and shaking, like it could sew something back together that had already torn beyond repair.
He’d kissed you after. Whispered your name like it was a prayer. You’d thought maybe he was staying.
But the words came anyway. The softest ones. The final ones.
“I love you,” he’d said. “But we’re not good for each other.”
He didn’t leave a note, he didn’t need to. The silence between you had already said everything.
You didn’t chase him. He didn’t come back. And neither of you called.
Because whatever it was—love, grief, survival—it had finally burned through.
Now, standing in the tower hallway, hands clenched and jaw tight, he thought about all of it.
About the girl who kissed him with cracked knuckles and laughed when she beat him in hand-to-hand. About the woman who came back from the dead and couldn’t sleep through the night.
He thought about your mouth. Your voice. The way you used to touch him.
You were coming back into his life. He didn’t know what that meant yet.
But it didn’t feel like closure. It felt like fate trying again.
Tumblr media
The helicopter touched down just before midnight.
The rooftop landing pad of the compound was slick with rain, wind howling against the glass walls like it wanted in. You stayed seated as the engine powered down, watching water bead and crawl across the window. 
The city pulsed below, indifferent and alive. It had been years since you stood in this place. Longer since it had felt anything close to home.
You adjusted your gloves slowly, methodically. Your bag was already slung across your shoulder, weapons holstered, expression blank. The only tell was your fingers—twitching against your thigh like they were searching for something to hold onto.
Footsteps echoed behind you.
"You coming, or do I have to drag you out?" Yelena's voice, unmistakably smug.
You turned. And for a second—just a second, your composure slipped.
She looked the same. Combat boots scuffed from wear. Hair shorter now—cropped into a blunt cut that suited her sharp grin.
There was something in her eyes that made you feel twelve again. She crossed the threshold and threw her arms around you before you could react.
"You bitch," she said, laughing into your shoulder. "You didn’t even text me. I thought you were dead. I tried everything. Even hacked into a mercenary network that tracks off-grid operatives. That’s how low I sank."
You exhaled a breath that almost cracked. Your arms wrapped around her on instinct.
"I missed you too," you murmured.
She pulled back and looked at you—really looked.
"Where did you go?" Her voice dropped a little. Not accusing. Just softer. Like it hurt to ask. "I tried calling, so many times. You just vanished."
You hesitated.
"I couldn’t be here," you said finally. "Not after everything that happened."
Yelena nodded, but her smile faltered. There was understanding in her eyes. And maybe grief too. You had lost your best friend, and she had lost a sister.
"Well, you're here now," she said. "And Val’s gonna shit herself when she sees the two of us in the same room."
You huffed out a quiet laugh. It didn’t reach your eyes.
The elevator opened with a low chime.
And that was when you felt it.
A shift. A cold crackle in your chest. Like a wire pulled tight.
You turned your head.
And there he was.
Bucky stepped off the elevator like a ghost from a life you didn’t let yourself remember.
Dressed in black, cargo pants, worn boots, leather jacket unzipped just enough to show the grey shirt beneath. His damp hair pushed back like he’d just stepped out of the storm. A duffel bag was slung over one shoulder, his gait loose but alert. 
And his expression—his expression was still, but his eyes...his eyes landed on you like impact—like an old wound splitting wide open
They locked on yours with such force it felt like gravity shifted. Something primal and painful surged in your chest. 
You couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t move.
He froze. So did you.
It was silent. Just the distant hum of the building, the rain tapping against the windows, Yelena shifting awkwardly between you. No words. Just that unbearable, suffocating pause.
Then he blinked. Swallowed. And nodded once.
"Hey."
It was barely audible. Rough. Like he hadn’t said it in a long time.
You didn’t say anything. Couldn’t.
Yelena glanced between you and cleared her throat. "I’ll uh… give you two a minute."
She was gone before you could stop her.
You turned back toward the window, throat burning. You felt him walk closer—not near enough to touch, but close enough that his presence bent the air.
"You look different," he said quietly.
You didn’t turn around. "So do you."
Another silence.
"Didn’t think I’d see you again," he said.
"You didn’t try to."
That landed. Hard. You could feel it—the way his weight shifted, the breath he held like it might shatter.
"I didn’t think you’d want me to."
You finally turned, eyes sharp, guarded.
"I didn’t."
And it was true. At least partly.
Because as much as you wanted to hate him, as much as you told yourself you’d buried it all—your body still remembered. 
The way he used to touch you. Hold you. Make love to you like it meant something.
It all came flooding back now.
You remembered the press of his mouth against your throat, the weight of him between your legs, the way he whispered your name when he was close—like it broke something inside him. 
You remembered how he moved inside you, how he clung to you like a drowning man, murmuring your name over and over like it was the only anchor he had left.
You remembered his hands, calloused and warm, roaming your body like they knew every inch, every scar, every secret. 
The way he used to fuck you like he was desperate to stay, to feel something that tethered him to this life—to you. Like the act of loving you was the only thing keeping him from disappearing entirely.
And you remembered what it felt like after.
Curled into his chest.
His lips in your hair.
His breath still shaking.
His voice—low and ruined—saying he couldn’t keep doing this.
The ache of it split something inside you.
You swallowed hard. Fingers tightening over your arms like they were holding your ribs together.
"This doesn’t change anything," you said.
He nodded slowly. "I know."
But it did. You both knew it.
Because for all the distance, for all the time, the pain, the silence—the second your eyes met, you felt it. That same, awful, impossible thing.
You still wanted him.
And he still looked at you like you were the only person who ever knew how to touch him without hurting.
It wasn’t love.
It was something worse. It was memory.
Tumblr media
The ride into Romania was long, loud, and silent in all the worst ways.
The blades beat a steady rhythm against the night sky, slicing through clouds as the landscape below dissolved into shadow. 
You sat across from him on the side bench, both of you facing inward, knees angled close, but never touching. The blades roared above as the helicopter cut through the clouds, the green glow of the instrument panel washing your boots in ghost-light.
You didn’t look at him. But you could feel it. Every flicker of his gaze, every stolen glance. Like gravity pulling him toward something he had long buried.
When the helicopter finally began its descent, the mountains looked like teeth—jagged, looming, half-lost in cloud. The safehouse wasn’t much. A stone structure tucked into a hillside, half-swallowed by fog and overgrowth. 
The wind howled around it as the blades slowed to a halt, leaving you both alone with nothing but damp air and unfinished sentences. You slung your bag over your shoulder, boots crunching over gravel as you followed him up the narrow path. 
There was no conversation. Just the weight of your history trailing behind you like a second shadow.
Inside, the safehouse smelled like dust and rain. There were two rooms. A generator humming low. A fireplace that hadn’t been used in years. 
The air held the chill of old grief, you dropped your gear on the floor, peeled off your damp jacket, and stood there, cold, wet and exhausted. He did the same, his movements slow, careful, like even the air between you might break if he moved too fast.
The silence thickened. Unbearable.
You turned toward him, voice sharp. “You never came back.”
He looked up from his bag. Stilled. “What?”
You stared at him, every nerve in your chest pulled tight. “After the fight. After you walked out. You never came back. Not even once.”
He blinked. “You told me not to.”
“No, I didn’t,” you said, voice rising. “I begged you to stay. I begged you not to walk away, and you still left.”
His jaw flexed. “Because I didn’t want to hurt you anymore.”
“Well, congratulations,” you snapped. “You did anyway.”
He stepped toward you then, chest heaving, anger flickering beneath the surface. “What did you want me to do? Keep pretending we were okay? Just keep  fucking you like that was enough?”
You flinched. “Don’t you dare—”
“I didn’t know how to make it better!” he shouted. “I loved you, god, I loved you, but I didn’t know how to reach you. And every time I touched you, I told myself we were okay, that I could keep us from falling apart. But it was fucking killing me.”
You swallowed against the ache rising in your throat. “So you let go.”
He nodded slowly, breathing hard. “Yeah. I let go.”
“And you didn’t look back.”
He stepped closer. “Don’t do that.”
“Don’t do what?”
“Act like you didn’t leave too. You shut me out. You stopped talking. You disappeared before I even walked out that door.”
Your eyes burned. “Because I was grieving, because everyone I—I loved was gone.”
“And I was still standing there,” he said, voice breaking. “I was right there, and you wouldn’t even look at me.”
Something in you cracked.
You pushed him, open palm against his chest. Hard.
He didn’t move. Didn’t stumble. Just looked at you with something hollow in his eyes, like he was still standing in the ruins of everything you used to be.
“I waited,” you whispered. “I waited for you to come back.”
He stepped into you then, hands bracing against the wall behind you, caging you in. The air shifted, heat sparking between you like a live wire.
“I never stopped wanting you,” he said, low and rough.
Your breath hitched.
You stared at him, eyes wet, fists clenched. “Then why didn’t you try?”
His voice was hoarse. “Because I thought I already lost you.”
You shook your head. “No James, you gave up on me.”
“I never gave up on you,” he said. “I gave up on the idea that I was good for you.”
The words scraped across your chest.
“I didn’t want perfect,” you whispered. “I just wanted you.”
The distance between you snapped.
His hands found your face, your jaw, your waist, pulling you in like a man dying of thirst. The kiss came sharp, searing, desperate. All tongue and teeth and ragged breath.
You clawed at his shirt, fisting the fabric, grounding yourself in the heat of him. He pressed you back against the wall, hard enough to shake loose the memories.
His mouth dropped to your neck, your collarbone, biting at the soft skin like he was angry at it. You gasped, arching against him, fingers dragging down his spine.
“Tell me you don’t miss this,” he growled against your throat.
“I hate you,” you gasped.
“Not what I asked.”
He lifted you with ease, walked you backwards to the bed, lips never leaving your skin. He dropped you down, followed you with a weight that felt like coming undone. The rain outside slammed against the windows. The bed creaked beneath the weight of everything you hadn’t said.
Clothes peeled off, slow and frantic at once. He kissed every inch of your skin, reverent and bruising. You clawed at his back, moaned his name like a plea, like a prayer.
When he slid inside you, it stole the air from your lungs.
He moved slowly at first, deep, deliberate thrusts that made your toes curl, your body arch. You clung to him, nails biting into his shoulder blades. He buried his face in your neck.
“You feel the same,” he rasped. “Fuck—you feel exactly the same.”
“Don’t stop,” you gasped. “Please, don’t stop.”
His rhythm quickened, rougher, harder. The sound of skin on skin filled the room, punctuated by broken sobs and gasping breath.
“I should’ve fought for you,” he said. “I should’ve fucking fought.”
You kissed him, fierce and shattering. “Then fight now.”
He groaned into your mouth. “I love you.”
“Then stay.”
You came with a cry, your whole body seizing around him. He followed with a broken moan, hips stuttering, breath catching as he spilled inside you.
You stayed like that for a long time, chests pressed together, foreheads touching, breath mingling in the dark.
And in that quiet, brutal silence, something shifted.
Not healed. Not yet.
But something close to hope.
You lay still for a long time after, his hand tangled in your hair, your breath catching on every exhale like your body didn’t quite believe what it had just done. Bucky shifted beside you, his arm tight around your waist, grounding you.
“You meant it?” you asked softly. “When you said you love me?”
He turned his face toward yours. There was no hesitation in his eyes, no flicker of doubt. “I never stopped,” he said. “I want you to know that.”
You closed your eyes. Let the words settle. Let the silence stretch.
Then—his voice again. Quieter now. Rough around the edges, like the words scraped on the way out.
“Can we try again?”
Your eyes opened.
He held your gaze, steady and unflinching.
“I know I left,” he continued. “And I know you shut me out too. We both did damage. But I still love you. And I want to stay this time. No matter how hard it gets, I’m not walking away. Not ever again.”
Your chest ached.
Because part of you still wanted to push him away, to brace for the inevitable.
But a bigger part, the part that remembered the sound of his laugh in the morning, the feel of his hands holding your broken pieces together—that part whispered:
Yes.
And for the first time in a long time, you almost believed it could be enough.

SINFUL SUNDAY MY HERO ACADEMIA MASTERLIST - PART II
Tumblr media
The cityscape glowed like a thousand gems scattered across a dark velvet blanket, each light a testament to the life teeming below. 
Katsuki Bakugo strode through the bustling streets, the remnants of his patrol echoing in the satisfied murmurs of bystanders he had saved earlier. His fiery eyes scanned the horizon, mind already drifting to the solace awaiting him at home.
Reaching the sleek, modern building that housed his penthouse, Bakugo nodded curtly to the doorman and made his way to the private elevator. As the doors closed, he allowed a small, rare smile to touch his lips. 
It had been a good day — no major catastrophes, no near-death experiences. Just another day of being the best hero the world had ever seen.
The elevator chimed softly as it reached the top floor. 
Bakugo stepped into his luxurious apartment, the space a perfect blend of modernity and comfort. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a breathtaking view of the city, and plush furnishings invited him to relax. He shed his hero gear with practiced efficiency, revealing the chiseled body beneath — one that had become almost as famous as his explosive quirk.
Padding barefoot across the cool hardwood floors, Bakugo headed to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. He took a long drink, his thoughts wandering to his evening plans. 
It had started as a joke, really — a whim born from boredom and pure curiosity. One night, he had filmed himself getting off, his muscular body glistening with sweat, his deep, guttural moans echoing in the silent room. On a lark, he had uploaded the video to his old Pornhub, expecting nothing in particular.
To his surprise, the video had gone viral. Within days, he had amassed thousands of fans, all clamoring for more. At first, Bakugo was amused. Then intrigued. And finally, he saw an opportunity. He was a hot man — he knew that. And if people wanted to watch him, if it made them happy and he enjoyed it too, then why not?
With the success of his initial video, Bakugo had created an OnlyFans account, eager to capitalize on his newfound popularity. It had been an instant hit. Fans flocked to his page, eager to pay for the privilege of seeing him in more intimate, exclusive settings. The subscriptions rolled in, and Bakugo found himself enjoying the attention, the adoration. It was a different kind of thrill, but a thrill nonetheless.
Bakugo set the water bottle down and made his way to his bedroom. The room was dominated by a large, king-sized bed draped in dark, luxurious linens. A camera was set up on a tripod in one corner, pointed directly at the bed. He moved with confidence, stripping off his clothes and tossing them aside. Naked, he admired his reflection in the full-length mirror. His body was a testament to years of rigorous training — every muscle defined, every inch a work of art.
With practiced ease, Bakugo positioned himself on the bed, adjusting the camera angle until he was satisfied. He grabbed a small remote from the nightstand and turned on the camera. The red light blinked to life, and he took a deep breath, letting the anticipation build. This was his stage, his audience waiting eagerly on the other side of the screen.
He opened his laptop, navigating to his OnlyFans account. With a few clicks, he started a live stream, watching as the viewer count began to climb rapidly. The chat box exploded with messages, fans greeting him eagerly, their excitement palpable even through the screen.
"Hey, fucking perverts," he greeted, his voice low and rough, tinged with the cocky confidence that had made him a hero. "It's your favorite pro hero, back for another round."
He ran a hand down his chest, fingers tracing the hard lines of his abs. He knew exactly what his fans wanted, what they craved. And he was more than happy to give it to them. His hand continued its descent, skimming over the taut skin until it reached his cock. Already semi-hard, it twitched in his grasp, responding to his touch.
Bakugo leaned back against the pillows, spreading his legs slightly to give the camera a better view. He stroked himself slowly at first, his grip firm but teasing. He knew how to build the anticipation, how to draw it out until he was practically vibrating with need. "You like what you see?" he growled, eyes locked on the camera as if he could see his fans watching. "Bet you wish you could touch me, huh? Feel how hard I am for you, little perverts?"
The chat box lit up with eager responses, fans egging him on, praising his body, his performance.
God, you're so hot!
I've been waiting all day for this.
Take it slow, Dynamight, make it last!
His eyes scanned the comments, searching for one particular username: sweet_daisyxxx. Amid the flood of adoring messages, he spotted it.
sweet_daisyxxx: You look amazing tonight, Katsuki
A rush of heat surged through him at the sight of your comment. He smirked, a new surge of energy coursing through him. His hand moved faster, strokes becoming more insistent. Pleasure coiled in his belly, hot and demanding. He was stroking his cock from base to tip, picturing you moaning his name. 
For Bakugo, starting an OnlyFans account had been a natural progression from his initial success on Pornhub. He'd always had a hard time settling down, despite his status as a pro hero and his undeniable attractiveness. His standards were high — too high, perhaps — and no woman had ever met all his requirements. His relationships invariably ended in one-night stands, fleeting and unsatisfying.
He had begun to find solace in the digital realm, exploring the myriad of content creators on OnlyFans. He followed the accounts of the girls he found hot, drawn to their beauty and charisma. It was a distraction, an addiction of sorts, but one he didn't mind. It filled a void that real-life encounters couldn't, offering a tantalizing escape from the pressures of heroism.
Then he came across your account. It was different from the rest. Yes, you were a camgirl yourself, you had a beautiful body, a captivating presence, but what set you apart was your approach. You didn't reveal everything, always touching yourself through the thin material of your lacy panties, always keeping your face off the camera, maintaining an air of mystery and intrigue while you played with yourself. Your streams were a mix of sensuality and intellect as you were trying to engage your small but dedicated follower count in discussions about literature, history, fashion, and the changing world. You were a tease, undoubtedly, but it was your depth that held him captive. Bakugo lingered on your page longer than he intended, entranced by your intelligence and charm. Your body was a work of art, but it was your mind that ensnared him. Not to mention you happened to be his biggest fan.
sweet_daisyxxx: Those muscles look even better up close. You're incredible, Katsuki
His eyes flicked back to the chat, watching as your other comments rolled in. 
sweet_daisyxxx: That growl you made just now? So hoooot, oh Gosh... Don't stop
Bakugo was incredibly turned on, imagining the taste and feel of licking your cunny. Even though he had never truly seen your pussy, the lingerie you wore on your streams left little to the imagination, perfectly outlining the curves of your folds. He couldn't help but think your pussy must be the prettiest one. What sounds would you make riding his tongue? Where would you want him to cum? On your face? Mouth? Tits? Maybe you would want him to save it for your pussy?
sweet_daisyxxx: Wish I could be there to touch you, feel every inch of you
His breath hitched, the sensation sending sparks of pleasure through his body. He could feel himself getting close, the familiar tension building with every stroke. His fans loved it when he talked dirty, loved the way he lost control on camera. And tonight, he was more than willing to give them a show. "Shit, I'm so close," he groaned, head falling back against the pillows. "You want to see me come undone, don't you? You want to watch me lose it for you?" His hips thrust faster into his rough palm.
He worked on his dick energetically, holding his balls tight in his free hand, squeezing them from time to time. He moaned from the pleasure radiating from his throbbing dick. He could almost hear his fans' reactions, the collective intake of breath, the eager anticipation. And that thought pushed him over the edge. With a final, desperate thrust, he came, his seed hot and sticky over his hand and stomach. It gushed and bubbled through the wet tip of his throbbing dick, leaving a slick trail on his toned abs as he continued to thrust into his clenched fist. Spurt, spurt. The sensation seemed endless. Katsuki's breath hitched with relief, and his hips finally began to slow. Though his balls were drained, they kept clenching, desperate to empty every last drop of his cum. His head rolled back, mouth hanging open as he panted through the final throes of one of the strongest orgasms of his life.
sweet_daisyxxx: Yes, Katsuki, just like that. So hot. You're perfect
Bakugo lay there for a moment, chest heaving, heart pounding. He let the camera capture every second, every twitch of aftershock. When he finally moved, it was with a lazy, satisfied grin. He reached for a towel and cleaned himself up, his eyes never leaving the camera.
But even in the haze of post-orgasmic bliss, Bakugo’s crimson eyes returned to the chat, seeking your username again.
sweet_daisyxxx: That was incredible, Mr Pro Hero. Can't wait for next time ♥
He smirked, feeling a sense of satisfaction beyond the physical release. You were more than just another fan. And you intrigued him.
"Hope you enjoyed the show," he said, voice still husky with the remnants of pleasure, his words directed toward you from all of his fans. "I'll see you next time."
He ended the live stream and lay back against the pillows, a sense of contentment settling over him. This was his life — a hero by day, a star of OnlyFans by night. And he wouldn't have it any other way.
Bakugo lay back against the pillows, his body still thrumming with the afterglow of release. The chat window on his laptop blinked out, and he reached over to close it, his thoughts already drifting to the next interaction he craved. He grabbed his phone from the nightstand, his fingers moving with practiced ease as he navigated to his messages.
He found your name quickly — sweet_daisyxxx. 
Your conversations had become a regular part of his routine, an escape from the relentless demands of hero work and the empty satisfaction of countless one-night stands. With you, it was different. You talked about things that mattered, things that challenged his mind and made him feel alive in ways he hadn't expected.
Horny_Dynamight: Wanna FaceTime?
There was a brief pause before your response came in.
sweet_daisyxxx: m’kay, give me a min
He waited, the seconds ticking by with a tense anticipation. Finally, his phone buzzed with the incoming call. He accepted, and your face filled the screen, your eyes bright with excitement.
You were seated in your gamer chair, the fitted black tank top you wore accentuating your curves. Your earbuds were in, and as you settled into the call, Bakugo couldn't stop his eyes from drifting downward, where the neckline of your top revealed the top of your beautiful breasts. The soft swell of your cleavage was tantalizing, and he felt a familiar heat stir within him.
"Hey, handsome," you greeted, your voice steady despite the underlying tension.
"Hey, hottie," he replied, his voice a low rumble. "So, how'd you really like the stream?"
You bit your lip, a teasing smile playing at the corners of your mouth. "It was amazing, Katsuki. You looked incredible. And the way you touched yourself… It was so hot."
His smirk widened. "Glad you think so." He paused, studying your face, the way your eyes sparkled with curiosity. "I was thinking, would ya like to join my next stream?"
You blinked, taken aback. "Join? How?"
He didn't hesitate, his response blunt and to the point. "For some nice fucking."
Your eyes widened, shock and excitement warring for dominance on your face. "Are you serious, Kats? I think I’m far outta your league…"
"Dead serious," he confirmed, his gaze never wavering. "We've been dancing around this for way too long. I want you on my stream. With me. In every way, Y/N. I can’t stop thinking about ya, for fuck’s sake."
You stared at him, the silence stretching out as you processed his proposition. 
He wondered if he had pushed too far, if maybe he had read the situation wrong. 
But then, your expression shifted, a slow smile spreading across your face. "Okay," you said softly. "When?"
His heart leaped, a fierce grin spreading across his face. He hadn't expected you to agree so quickly, but then again, you had always surprised him. "Tomorrow night. Same time. My place."
"Ok, but you’ll have to pick me up," you replied with a slight shrug of your shoulders.
When you finally hung up, Bakugo felt a sense of satisfaction settle over him. Tomorrow night would be a game-changer, a step into new territory that he was eager to explore. With you.
Tumblr media
The next day, Bakugo's routine went by in a haze of expectation. His patrols were efficient but mechanical, his thoughts constantly returning to the evening ahead. He had spent the day thinking about it, every spare moment filled with thoughts of you, of finally meeting the person who had occupied his thoughts for so long. Katsuki pushed himself harder in the gym, needing the physical exertion to keep his mind from spiraling into endless scenarios of what might happen. 
When the day finally drew to a close, he found himself back in his apartment, preparing for what felt like both a stream and a date. He made sure everything was perfect — the camera angles, the lighting, the room itself. And then, he drove to pick you up from the mall you set up as a meeting place.
Bakugo's heart pounded with a mix of excitement and nerves as he drove to the mall. This was the first time he was going to see you in real life, and the anticipation was almost too much to bear. 
He pulled into the parking lot, finding a spot near the entrance. As he stepped out of the car, he adjusted his black, leather jacket, trying to look as casual as possible despite the literal butterflies in his stomach. He scanned the crowd, looking for you, knowing you would stand out even among the bustling shoppers.
And there you were, waiting near the fountain in the center of the plaza. You wore a girly white summer dress with a delicate floral motif, the fabric swaying gently with the breeze. Your white sneakers added a touch of casual charm to your appearance. As you spotted him, your face lit up with a bright smile, and your cheeks turned slightly pink with a blush.
Bakugo made his way over to you, his heart pounding harder with each step. When he finally stood in front of you, he could hardly believe it. You were even more beautiful in person. "Hey," he said after clearing his throat, his voice coming out rougher than he intended.
"Hey, Katsuki," you replied, your voice soft and filled with excitement. "It's so good to finally see you in person, Mr Dynamight.”
He nodded, his eyes taking in every detail of you, from the way your dress clung to your figure to the sparkle in your eyes. "Yeah, it is."
There was a moment of silence as the two of you took each other in, the reality of the moment sinking in. Then, with a smirk, Bakugo extended his hand. "Ready to get out of here?"
"Absolutely,” you replied, taking his palm as if you two were a real couple.
He led you to his car, opening the door for you before getting in himself. 
As he drove, the conversation flowed easily, just like it did during your calls. You talked about everything and nothing, the comfort between you growing with each passing mile.
Bakugo couldn't help but steal glances at you as he drove. The way your dress highlighted all of your curves, the way the sun caught your hair, the way your laughter filled the car with warmth — it was all purely intoxicating. He reached over, his rough, large hand resting on your thigh. 
You glanced at him, a playful smile on your lips. "Can't keep your hands to yourself, huh?"
He smirked, his grip tightening slightly. "Nope. And I don't plan to, sweet doll."
His touch was firm, possessive, his fingers occasionally squeezing gently and brushing your soft skin as he navigated the streets. Every time his hand moved, it sent a shiver of anticipation through you, the promise of what was to come making your heart race.
Finally, you arrived at his apartment. Bakugo parked and turned to you, his expression serious. "You sure you're okay with this?"
You smiled, reaching out to take his hand. "More than okay, Katsuki. I've been looking forward to this, actually. I just… It’s been a while since…”
“Hush, no worries, I’ll be gentle,” he whispered softly, reaching his hand out to cup your cheek, his thumb brushing slightly against your lower lip as he gazed into your eyes. With a nod, he led you inside the apartment. 
The moment the door closed behind you, the atmosphere shifted. The tension that had been building all day exploded into action. 
Bakugo reached for you, his hands cupping your face as he kissed you fiercely, all the pent-up desire pouring into that single moment.
You responded immediately, your arms wrapping around his neck as you kissed him back with equal fervor. 
Your bodies pressed tightly together. You could feel the heat radiating off him, the raw need in his touch.
Bakugo's hands roamed down your sides, pulling you even closer until there was no space between you. 
You could feel the hardness growing in his pants, pressing insistently against your lower abdomen as he pushed you on the nearest wall. 
"Fuck," he muttered against your lips, his breath hot and heavy. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this." His hands moved to your waist, lifting you effortlessly as he walked towards the bedroom with you in his arms.
You wrapped your legs around him, the movement causing the bulge in his pants to press even more firmly against your clothed pussy. The friction made you moan, the sound driving him wild.
Bakugo kicked the bedroom door open, setting you down on the edge of the bed. He stepped back for a moment, his eyes raking over you with a look of pure hunger. "You look so fucking good," he said, his voice low and rough.
You blushed, but there was a playful glint in your eyes as you whispered teasingly, "Why don't you come over here and show me just how good?"
With a growl of satisfaction, Bakugo was on you in an instant, his mouth capturing yours once more. His hands moved with purpose, slipping under your dress to caress your soft skin. He paused, taking in the sight of you in your underwear. "Beautiful," he murmured, his hands tracing the curves of your body.
You got up and reached for him, pulling his leather jacket off and tossing it aside before working on the buttons of his shirt. His skin was warm and firm under your touch, the muscles rippling as you pushed the fabric off his shoulders. He helped you, impatient to feel your hands on him.
Once his shirt was off, you traced your fingers over his chest, marveling at the hard lines and defined muscles. "You're incredible, Katsuki," you said softly, your eyes meeting his.
He grinned, his hands moving to unbutton his pants. "You haven't seen anything yet."
As his pants hit the floor, your eyes were drawn to the impressive bulge pressing against his underwear. He moved closer, his lips locking with yours in a searing kiss while his body pressed tightly against yours. The feel of his firmness against you, combined with the fervor of his kiss, left your head reeling.
Bakugo murmured, "You know what I want to show on the stream?"
You shivered at the rough timbre of his voice. "What?"
"Mostly eating you out," he growled, his hand moving to caress your inner thigh, "and fucking you until you can't think straight."
Your breath hitched, the bluntness of his words sending a jolt of arousal straight to your core. “Are… Are you sure?" you asked, your voice trembling with anticipation.
"Yeah," he said, his eyes dark with desire. "I want everyone to see how good you can make me feel. How much we both want it."
You swallowed hard, the intensity of his gaze making you feel like you were burning from the inside out. "Katsuki..."
He kissed you again, hard and possessive. "So, what do you say?" he murmured against your lips. "You in?"
You nodded, your mind a whirl of desire and anticipation. "I'm in. Just…”
"Oh, quit being shy, doll. Just because you haven't shown yourself on cam yet doesn't mean you're a saint. We both know you're not. I still remember you moaning on the phone, telling me how you'd suck my dick during one of our calls."
You swallowed hard, trying to steady your racing heart. "Katsuki, I... I don't want my face shown on the stream."
He pulled back slightly, his eyes narrowing in confusion. "Why not? Are you ashamed of my idea?"
You shook your head quickly, cupping his face in your hands. "No, it's not that. I just... I don't think you want to be associated with an OnlyFans girl later. It could cause trouble for you. You’re a hero after all..."
His expression softened, and he cupped your cheeks in his rough hands. "I don't care about your fucking profession, doll," he said firmly. "I've developed feelings for you. You're more than a one-night stand for me."
Your heart skipped a beat at his words, the sincerity in his eyes making your breath catch. "Katsuki..."
He kissed you deeply, his lips conveying everything he couldn't put into words. When he pulled back, he rested his forehead against yours. "We'll do it your way. No face. I want this to be good for both of us."
You smiled, your heart swelling with affection. "Thank you, Katsuki. This means a lot to me."
He grinned, his hands sliding down to your waist. "Now, let's make this the best stream anyone's ever seen."
Bakugo adjusted the camera one last time, ensuring it was angled just right. He made sure only a slight part of your neck would be visible, keeping your identity safe while still capturing the raw passion of the moment. The red light blinked on, indicating the stream was live. He turned to the camera, his usual smirk in place. "Hey, fuckers," he greeted, his voice low and confident. "Got a special stream for you tonight."
Immediately, the chat exploded with messages, the viewers' excitement palpable even through the screen.
Bakugo! Who's the girl?
Is this for real? Bakugo's got someone with him?
Holy shit, this is gonna be epic!
Introduce her! What's her name?!!
Is she your girlfriend?!! omg Dynamight has a gf? I’m heartbroken!!!
We need details, Dynamight!
Bakugo glanced at the comments, his smirk widening as he saw the flood of questions about you. He enjoyed the attention. "Calm down, fucking idiots," he said, his voice a growl that only seemed to stoke the fire in the chat. "You'll get what you came for. That’s all. My girlfriend’s face stays out of the frame. Got it?"
You gasped as you realized he called you his girlfriend.
The chat buzzed even more, curiosity and excitement mingling in the rapid-fire messages.
Why hide her face?
Is she that shy?
Come on, Bakugo, just a glimpse!
Gosh, he said she is his gf, rip to my feelings :(
Damn, this is hot already
Just fuck that cunt already man
Ignoring the more insistent demands, Bakugo turned to you, his crimson eyes dark with desire. He leaned in, his rough, large hand resting on your thigh as he whispered in your ear. "Ready to give them a show?"
You nodded, your heart racing. "More than ready...."
With a growl of satisfaction, Bakugo's lips crashed onto yours, the kiss fierce and demanding. His hands moved with purpose, slipping under the hem of your dress and slowly lifting it over your head. “Lay down and relax,” he commanded in a whisper.
The cool air hit your skin, sending a shiver down your spine, but his touch quickly warmed you up. You obliged and lay down on his bed.
He broke the kiss just long enough to pull the dress off completely, tossing it aside before capturing your lips again. His hands roamed your body, exploring every curve with a desperate need. 
You could feel the heat of his touch through the thin fabric of your underwear, his fingers tracing the lines of your body with an intensity that made your head spin.
Bakugo's hands moved to your back, deftly unclasping your bra and tossing it to the floor. He pulled back slightly, his eyes raking over you with a look of pure hunger. "So fucking beautiful," he murmured, his hands moving to cup your breasts.
You gasped as his rough palms squeezed them gently, his thumbs brushing over your nipples. The sensation sent a jolt of pleasure through you, your back arching slightly in response. He leaned down, his mouth finding the sensitive skin of your neck as he continued to fondle your breasts, his touch both firm and gentle.
"Katsuki," you moaned quietly, your hands gripping his shoulders for support. The heat between your legs was almost unbearable, the anticipation of what was to come making your body ache with need.
His mouth moved lower, his lips and tongue tracing a path down your neck to your collarbone. "I want to make you feel so good," he growled against your skin, his breath hot and heavy. "I want everyone to see how much you need this."
You whimpered in response, your body trembling with desire. 
His hands continued to explore, one moving to your waist while the other remained on your breast, squeezing and teasing your nipple. Bakugo's mouth soon found your nipple, his tongue flicking over the sensitive peak before sucking it into his mouth. 
You cried out, your fingers tangling in his hair as you pulled him closer, the pleasure almost too much to bear. 
He switched to the other breast, giving it the same attention, his hands and mouth working together to drive you to the edge.
The camera captured every moment, the slight part of your neck and the intensity of Bakugo's actions visible to his eager audience. The thought of being watched only heightened your arousal, the exhibitionism adding a new layer of excitement to the experience.
The chat was a blur of comments, the viewers enraptured by the display.
Damn, she's loving it!
Bakugo, you're a beast!
This is insane! More, more!
I can't take my eyes off this
Lucky girl, getting all of Dynamight’s attention
Bakugo pulled back, his eyes meeting yours with a look of pure desire. "I can't wait any longer," he growled, his hands moving to the waistband of your panties. He leaned forward, caught the waistband with his teeth and slid them down your legs, the fabric pooling on the bed as he knelt between your legs. He kissed his way up your thigh, his hands gripping your hips to hold you steady. "I'm going to make you come so hard on my fucking mouth," he promised, his breath hot against your skin. "And everyone is going to see how much you love it."
He pushed your legs further apart, exposing your glistening folds to the camera. The sight was mesmerizing, your arousal clear and inviting. Bakugo's eyes darkened with hunger as he took in the view, his fingers gently parting your folds to give the viewers a better look. "Look at that," he murmured, his voice filled with admiration. "So fucking pretty, and all fucking mine."
The chat went wild, the viewers unable to contain their excitement.
OMG, her pussy is beautiful ♥♥♥
Bakugo, you're a lucky bastard! I’m so gay for that bitch
This is the hottest thing I've ever seen
Look at those curves!
I can't believe this is happening live!
Ignoring the comments, Bakugo leaned in, his breath hot against your sensitive folds. 
Your pussy was tight and firm. It was flushed with your desire, and its lips were damp with your slickness. 
Your scent filled his nostrils and Bakugo growled as his cock twitched in his boxers, aching to be freed.
The first touch of his tongue sent a shockwave of pleasure through you, your back arching as you cried out his name. His mouth worked expertly, his tongue and lips finding every sensitive spot as he brought you closer and closer to the edge.
His tongue reached out and gently licked from the bottom of one side up to the top. He flicked the pearl of your clit and then licked back up the other side of your lips before flicking it again. Bakugo placed his tongue at the base of your slit and slid it up between your puffy lips. He tasted and felt your juices pool on his flexed tongue as it slid up. 
You tasted so good, so sweet. 
His lips closed over your clitoris and he sucked on it, drawing a gasp from you and a buck of your hips. Bakugo pulled your pussy lips into his mouth and sucked hard on them. His warm tongue went as far inside you as he could reach.
Your juices coated his chin. 
He slid his mouth back up to your clit and eased a finger inside you. He growled against you, the vibrations making your legs shake.
Your lips parted slightly as his thick, rough middle finger slid in between the folds of your pussy. 
It reached in and he curled it up till he hit the top of your pussy. He yet again sucked your clit into his lips hard. 
Suddenly, your legs squeezed together, trembling. “Katsuki,” you whined, arching your back.
Katsuki sucked hard on your clit, his teeth teased it and he flicked it with the tip of his tongue as he slipped two more fingers into your pussy. Soon, they were coated with your translucent slickness.
He kissed your pussy lips and sucked up all of your juices. The nectar from your climax covered his face and hand. It was delicious and he smiled as he looked up from between your legs. 
"Katsuki…" you moaned, your fingers tangling in his ash-blonde hair as you pulled him closer, the need for release almost unbearable as you ground your pussy against his face. Your body tensed, your back arching as the pleasure crashed over you in waves, your cries filling the room. 
Bakugo didn't stop, his tongue continuing to work you through your orgasm, drawing out every last bit of pleasure until you were left trembling and breathless; your juices spilling on his tongue, overlaying his mouth and chin as he drank all of your essence.
The chat was in a frenzy, the viewers unable to contain their excitement.
OMG, that was intense!
Bakugo, you're a god
I need a cold shower after this
More, more, more!
This is the best stream ever Shhiiit her moans are hot
Fuck, she super hot, you’re lucky, man
Bakugo pulled back, his lips glistening with your juices as he looked up at you with a satisfied smirk. Bakugo stood up, his hands moving to the waistband of his black Calvin Klein boxers as he undressed quickly, his eyes never leaving yours. He stepped out of his underwear, his hard length springing free. 
You licked your lips, the sight of him making your mouth water with anticipation.
He climbed onto the bed, positioning himself between your legs as he looked down at you with a possessive hunger. "I'm going to fuck you so hard," he promised, his voice a low growl. Ever so slowly he pressed the leaking tip of his cock to the opening of your pussy.
"Ohhh fuck," you whimpered as Bakugo gradually penetrated your entrance. You sucked in a breath and opened your legs wider to grant him better access. 
So slowly he pushed his cock further in until he was fully sheathed inside of you. Bakugo left his other hand at your throat as he began a slow pace, sliding almost completely away from you before plunging back in. 
You moaned deeply, relishing the searing hardness of his arousal. Your velvety walls clenched tightly around him, drawing a slight widening of his eyes in response to your movements. His arousal felt like forged steel as he continued to thrust vigorously in and out of you. Your desire had escalated to the point where it now glistened on the insides of your thighs and his toned abdomen, the soft, wet sounds filling the air each time he withdrew and then thrust back into your cunny.
Bakugo's lips captured yours passionately, his kiss fervent and insistent. He nipped at your tongue and the corners of your mouth, each bite sending sparks of pleasure coursing through you, melding the physical intensity with a deep, consuming heat.
A sharp yank on his blonde strands pulled his mouth from yours, and you looked into his crimson eyes. “Harder,” you begged.
Bakugo’s face transformed from an expression of animalistic need to one of desperate pleasure. He set a relentless pace, his hips driving into you with a fierce intensity. 
Sweat began to slide in droplets between his shoulder blades and broke out over his forehead. A single drop fell from the tip of his nose and splashed onto your soft belly and you gasped. 
Your bodies moved together in perfect harmony, the pleasure building with each thrust.
Withdrawing, Balugo moved back into your tight pussy with full force again, and again. He sunk his teeth into the red mark he had made earlier where your neck met your shoulder and moved his body roughly against yours.
You wrapped your legs around his hips, somehow pulling him deeper into your pussy, causing small moans to fall from your lips uncontrollably.
"Katsuki, I'm going to come again," you whined, your body trembling with the intensity of the pleasure.
"Do it," he growled, his hips pistoning into you even harder. "Come for me. Let everyone see how much you need this."
With a final, powerful thrust, you shattered, the pleasure crashing over you in waves as your orgasm ripped through your entire being. You were trembling and quivering as Bakugo rubbed your slick clit faster and faster, making you squirm as you orgasmed. Your toes curled and uncurled with each movement, your pussy dripping wet as his massive cock hit your cervix with every thrust. Your breathing grew heavy, moans escalating in volume until you were screaming his name. Your entire body shook, legs trembling, hips bucking up to meet his thrusts. Your pussy dripped, juices spraying the bed and Katsuki's abdomen, the bed squeaking loudly, rocking with the force of his thrusts as you squirted. “Fuck!”
Bakugo thrust madly, groaning as he felt the tightness of your pussy around his cock begin to ripple. He cried out a string of curses as his cock spurted in a mighty gush. He thrust thrice more, cumming with each push until he was absolutely spent, milking your velvety walls with his creamy, thick semen.
As the aftershocks of your orgasms subsided, Bakugo leaned down, capturing your lips in a tender kiss. "You're incredible," he murmured against your lips, his hands cupping your face gently.
"So are you," you replied, your heart swelling with affection as you ran your hands though his messy hair.
Bakugo gradually withdrew, his movements deliberate and slow, savoring the last vestiges of intimacy. He watched with a mixture of pride and amusement as his thick cum began to dribble out from your spent pussy, staining his bedsheets. His gaze was intense, capturing every moment with a fierce satisfaction. Ensuring that every second was visible to his viewers, he turned slightly. "How'd you like that, fucking perverts?" he asked his viewers, his voice rough with satisfaction.
The screen was flooded with emojis, exclamations, and messages that scrolled past almost too fast to read. Fans were expressing their thrill and approval, many praising Bakugo's intensity and the raw, unfiltered passion of the display. Some commented on the sheer boldness. It was clear that Bakugo's actions had struck a chord, igniting a fervent buzz among the viewers.
Wow, Bakugo you never disappoint! Absolute legend! 🔥🔥🔥
What a beautiful squirt! That was INTENSE! Way to go, Katsuki!! 💥💥 😱 Can't believe what I just saw! This is why Bakugo's the best! Dude, that was wild!! 🌋 Loved every second of it!
Loved that, absolutely killed it Bakugo! Can’t wait for more! Ur girl is fucking lucky
Bakugo glanced back at you, and asked simply, "So? Ready for another round?"

“There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin.”
Bat boys x reader:Giving birth unexpectedly!
This is a filler headcannon. I will post works next week hopefully.This is inspired by the way i had my son;In our car in a campsite😭😭.wrote this while my partner and son are asleep (Finally.)💛Enjoy!!
Bruce Wayne –
Gives birth in the Batcave during a lockdown
• Bruce has contingency plans for everything. Protocols. Staff. Medical equipment. Even a direct line to the best OB-GYN in Gotham, complete with a private hospital suite prepped and waiting.
• So when you go into labor two weeks early during a surprise cave lockdown triggered by a bio-threat alert, Bruce realizes just how little plans mean in the face of reality.
• “Of all the days to trip the emergency security seal…” he mutters while trying to override the system that locked down the Batcave.
• You’re pacing in the command center, gripping his arm mid-contraction, and Bruce—THE Batman—is rattled. Not visibly. But his jaw is tighter than steel, and his voice keeps lowering into that clipped, deadly tone.
• “The ventilation systems are sealed. Medical wing is sterile. We’ll stay here.”
• He clears the armory’s examination table, then covers it with sanitized cloth from the medkit. Everything becomes clinical—measured.
• But then you cry out in pain and fear, and that cold steel in his voice breaks just slightly. “I’m here. You’re safe. I promise you—you’re safe.”
• He’s no doctor, but his hands are steady. He follows the steps like a soldier disarming a bomb, all while keeping your eyes locked with his.
• When the baby finally comes, Bruce catches them with reverence and holds them for a moment before laying them on your chest. “Hello,” he whispers, as if stunned. “You’re early. Just like your father.”
• Once the lockdown ends, Alfred is the first to arrive. He says nothing when he sees the scene—just places a blanket over your shoulders and smiles at Bruce. “Master Wayne, it appears your most impressive legacy has just begun.”
Jason Todd –
Gives birth in a remote mountain cabin during a snowstorm
• You and Jason were supposed to be taking a quiet getaway in the mountains—no crime, no city noise, just peace.
• But a snowstorm traps you both in the cabin, and you go into labor with no service, no landline, and no neighbors for miles.
• Jason tries to stay calm, but his hands keep flexing like he wants to punch the storm into submission. “You’d think after all the crap I’ve survived, I’d get one weekend off,” he growls while boiling water on the stove and digging out the first aid kit.
• The fireplace crackles as he builds a makeshift birthing space with every warm blanket he can find. He holds you through the worst of the contractions, whispering calming reassurances that are so unlike the man most people know.
• “You’re not alone. Not for a second. I’ve got you, and I’m not letting go.”
• You scream through it. Cry. Curse. And Jason stays right there, steady and strong, letting you dig your nails into him without complaint.
• When the baby comes, he doesn’t even realize he’s crying until you reach up and brush his cheek.
• “They’re perfect,” you whisper.
• Jason looks down at the tiny, red-faced bundle and chuckles—half disbelief, half raw emotion. “You know… I’ve cheated death, escaped hell….but this is the scariest, most incredible thing I’ve ever done.”
• The storm finally ends the next morning. Jason steps out onto the porch with the baby swaddled to his chest, looking out over the snowy mountains and whispering, “No better place to start over.”
Tim Drake –
Gives birth in the WayneTech server room during a tech emergency
• Tim was showing you around the newly renovated WayneTech R&D floor when the unthinkable happens: a massive tech breach hits the servers, and your water breaks at the same time.
• Alarms are going off. The elevators are frozen. And you’re gripping a rack of prototype tech while Tim stares at you in utter disbelief.
• “I—uh—okay. Okay. Baby. Yes. Not now, but yes.”
• He immediately drops into triage mode. He reroutes power, uses an emergency system override to lock down the room for privacy, and hacks a medbot to assist.
• You’re lying on a pile of foam floor tiles, breathing through a contraction while surrounded by glowing server lights and the hum of computers.
• “So…this isn’t exactly the sterile birth plan,” you groan.
• “Statistically speaking, no,” he deadpans, then flashes a smile. “But the lighting’s dramatic.”
• He talks you through each contraction, quoting snippets from baby books and software manuals alike, as if he’s compiling his own parenthood operating system in real-time.
• “You’re doing amazing. I don’t know how you’re handling this with only 20% battery and no Wi-Fi.”
• You scream again. “Timothy!”
• “Right, shutting up.”
• When the baby finally arrives, he goes silent. Truly silent. No jokes. Just wide-eyed, overwhelmed wonder.
• “They’re… ours,” he whispers, staring down at this impossibly tiny human like they’re a miracle.
He wraps you both in his jacket and sits on the server room floor with the baby in his arms.
Dick Grayson –
Gives birth in a subway car
• Dick had planned everything. He mapped out the fastest hospital routes, kept emergency bags packed, and even memorized breathing techniques like he was preparing for an Olympic sport.
• But fate has a flair for drama, and on a completely normal afternoon ride through the Blüdhaven subway, your water breaks in the middle of a crowded train.
• At first, you thought it was just a Braxton-Hicks contraction. Dick was even joking about the train delays. Then you grabbed his arm and said, “Dick… I think it’s happening.”
• All the blood drains from his face. “Happening like… happening happening?”
• He immediately takes charge with a surprising level of calm—because behind the charming, goofy exterior, Dick Grayson is a born leader.
• “Alright everyone, I’m going to need some space. My partner is about to give birth. Please—back up and someone call emergency services.”
• Someone tries to film, and Dick glares. “Unless you want a lawsuit and a shattered phone, put it down.” The phone disappears instantly.
• He helps you lie down on a bench in the mostly-cleared car, cushions your head with his jacket, and holds your hand like a lifeline. “I’m right here. I’ve got you.”
• Between contractions, you keep asking if the train is moving. It isn’t. Power outage. Of course.
• “You had to propose to me on a rooftop, and now our baby’s coming in a subway,” you groan.
• “What can I say? We’re just a very public transit family.”
• You scream at him to stop making jokes. He doesn’t. It’s the only thing keeping him sane too.
• When the baby is finally born, the train lights flicker back on—almost poetic. Dick holds them like the most precious thing he’s ever touched.
• “Hey, little one. Welcome to Blüdhaven Underground.”
• When help finally arrives, you’re both surrounded by a circle of subway strangers who are all a little teary-eyed.
• Dick doesn’t let go of either of you for hours. “I’ve done a lot of things in tights and under pressure… but nothing as incredible as this.”
Damian Wayne aged!up
Gives birth in an art gallery during his solo exhibition
• Damian, now 26, has traded the Robin mantle for a quieter life—he’s a respected artist known for surrealist pieces that blend traditional Middle Eastern motifs with Gotham’s harsh modernity.
• You’re 8 and 1/2 months pregnant when he unveils his latest collection in a sleek, intimate art gallery downtown. The night is supposed to be a celebration of his evolution as a person and creator.
• But the gallery is warm, and crowded, and you’ve been on your feet all night admiring his pieces with other guests. That’s when you feel the sharp, unmistakable pain of labor.
• “Damian,” you whisper, grabbing his hand. He thinks you’re just tired until you add, “It’s happening. Now.”
• His whole face changes. Not panic—just immediate, tactical focus. “We need to leave. Now.”
• But the contractions are fast and furious. You’re not making it to the hospital. A horrified gallery intern runs to grab supplies, while Damian helps you to the quietest room—a stark, white-walled exhibit space filled with his paintings.
• Ironically, the piece behind you is called Rebirth.
• Damian sheds his jacket and lays it beneath you. He calls Talia first—yes, his mother. Say what you will, she knows how to keep her cool in chaos.
• “She’ll be fine,” Talia says over the phone. “Trust her. Trust yourself.”
• He gently presses his forehead to yours between contractions, speaking to you in soft Arabic—his most vulnerable, instinctual language. “You are strength. You are life.”
• He coaches you through the birth with focused determination and awe. When the baby arrives, it’s quiet for a moment… then a cry. He exhales shakily.
• The first thing he does is lay the baby on your chest, whispering reverently, “My finest creation.”
• Someone tries to enter the room, and Damian growls, “You will not disturb them.” The door shuts. Fast.
• Later, he paints a piece inspired by that night—an abstract image of you and the baby, surrounded by the negative space of a blank canvas. He titles it Origin.
• “I thought my art was complete,” he says quietly, holding your hand. “But nothing I ever make will compare to the life we just brought into this world.”

𝐈𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬
Parings → Peter Parker x Stark! Reader
Warnings → teasing, fluff, flushed! Peter
Summary → You ask Tony for an Iron suit, but when denied, you requested for Peter as your boyfriend instead.
Tumblr media
The compound was quiet for once, the hum of technology and occasional clanking of robotic arms the only sounds breaking the stillness. You were sprawled out on the couch in the living room, lazily flipping through channels on the TV, while Peter Parker, your best friend, sat cross-legged on the carpet floor. His head was bent over his web-shooter, fingers deftly adjusting tiny components with a screwdriver.
"Anything good on?" Peter asked without looking up, his brown curls bobbing slightly as he worked.
"Not really," you muttered, tossing the remote onto the coffee table. "Unless you count reruns of Downton Abbey as good."
Peter snorted softly, his focus still on the device in his hands. "Hey, don’t knock it. Aunt May loves that show. I think I’ve accidentally memorized most of season two by now."
Before you could reply, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hall. Tony Stark appeared, dressed in his usual casual yet somehow stylish attire. He strolled into the open kitchen that overlooked the living room, heading straight for the coffee machine.
"Kids, don’t burn down my tower," he said casually, glancing over his shoulder.
"Can’t make any promises," you quipped, sitting up slightly.
Tony smirked as he grabbed a mug. "You, I believe. Peter? Not so much. Last time he touched my tech, I had to rewrite an entire AI script."
"Hey!" Peter protested, looking up with a sheepish grin. "That was one time! And I fixed it!"
"Sure you did, Underoos." Tony poured himself a cup of coffee, the aroma wafting through the air.
You rolled your eyes but couldn’t help grinning at their usual banter. Then, as an idea struck, you sat up straighter. "Hey, Dad?"
Tony raised an eyebrow, taking a sip of his coffee. "Uh-oh. That tone always means trouble."
"When am I getting my own Iron suit?" You asked, trying to sound casual but failing miserably as excitement leaked into your voice.
Tony nearly choked on his drink, coughing dramatically. "How about never?"
You frowned. "Oh, come on, Dad! You gave Peter a suit, and you let him use your tech all the time, and he’s not even your kid."
"Exactly why he gets it. Less liability if something goes wrong," Tony shot back, smirking.
Peter, who had been quiet, mumbled under his breath, "Wow, I feel so safe."
Tony raised an eyebrow, shooting Peter a pointed look. "Hey, you're still alive, aren't you?"
"Debatable," Peter muttered, earning a small laugh from you, though you quickly crossed your arms and muttered, "Still not fair."
Tony leaned against the kitchen counter, giving you a pointed look. "Look, you can ask for anything else, and I’ll consider it. But no Iron suit. End of story."
You tilted your head, pretending to think hard. "Anything else?"
"Anything within reason," Tony clarified, narrowing his eyes.
"Hmmm..." You paused dramatically, your gaze shifting to Peter, who was back to fiddling with his web-shooter. A mischievous smile spread across your face. "Can I have Peter as my boyfriend?"
Peter froze. His screwdriver clattered to the floor as he looked up at you with wide eyes, his face rapidly turning as red as his suit. "W-what?!"
Tony blinked once, then twice, before setting his coffee cup down with exaggerated calm. "What color suit do you want?"
"Seriously?!" You deadpanned, throwing your hands up in disbelief.
Peter, still struggling to breathe, looked between the two of you. "Wait, wait, what’s happening? Did you just—did she—?"
"Relax, Spiderling," Tony said, waving him off. "I’d rather build her a suit that might destroy half the city than deal with the emotional turmoil of a teenage romance."
You groaned. "Dad, you’re so dramatic."
"And you’re my kid, so genetically you're dramatic too," Tony quipped, grabbing his coffee again.
Peter, still red-faced, finally managed to find his voice. "Uh, just for the record, Mr. Stark, I wasn’t—uh—I didn’t—"
"Calm down, kid," Tony interrupted. "I’m just messing. Sort of."
You rolled your eyes, nudging Peter with your foot. "Breathe, Parker. It’s not like I proposed or something."
Peter let out a nervous laugh, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah, right. Totally. Just...friendly teasing. Haha."
Tony smirked at Peter’s flustered state, then turned back to you. "Alright, joke’s over. No Iron suit, no boyfriend. Anything else?"
"Fine," you grumbled. "But this conversation isn’t over."
Tony chuckled, heading toward his lab. "Oh, I think it is."
As soon as he was out of earshot, Peter turned to you, his face still a little pink. "Why would you say that?!"
You shrugged, a sly grin on your lips. "What? I thought it was funny."
"Funny?!" Peter hissed, his voice barely above a whisper. "Do you know how terrifying your dad is?"
"Relax, Peter," you said, leaning back on the couch. "If anything, this proves you’re in his good books. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have joked about it."
Peter groaned, covering his face with his hands. "I’m never coming over again."
"Yes, you are," you replied confidently.
And, despite his embarrassment, you knew he absolutely would.

Ok I'll bite. What is wheel of time about
Glad you asked!!!! The short version is that it's a story about the inescapability of fate and the cycles of violence and peace in the world!
The long version is uh. Well (spoilers)
So like. Theres a big wheel that weaves the fabric of reality, right? And people get reincarnated and their souls get spit back out into new people, okay? That's how the world works. Also there is magic But! There's boy magic and girl magic.
So imagine you live in a post-scarity fake utopia and you're essentially a magic researcher. You discover magic that is neither girl nor boy magic but a secret third thing everyone who can already use magic can use (its genetic). And you just went through like the worst break up. So you use this cool new power!
And end up tearing a hole in the fabric of space and time. And theres this like entity in there that promises all this power and stuff and you're like "uhhhh well i do wanna be president or at least have my PhD unrevoked" (PhD revoked for tearing a hole in space and time) and also your ex has decided the entity is like. Pure evil. Which it is but you can't let him win that argument.
So you and your ex's ex and like 11 other researchers who aren't getting anywhere close to enough funding are like. Ok. Y'know what. Kinda fuck with the entity. Also we really don't like your ex girl he's too goody-goody.
Unfortunately your ex is also a top level magician/physicist and leads his 100 best friends to go seal your excellent hole in reality. Boo. But before he does this the entity "taints" boy magic so all men who can use magic go insane and kill everyone they love. Unfortunately you were also sealed inside the hole in reality and kinda go into statis for 3000 years.
Anyways because all then male magicians are insane now they essentially are walking nukes with no direction and blast humanity back to the stone age. Some of them kill themselves and some of them level cities and some of them try to not use magic but that's like acting someone who smokes a pack a day to quit cold turkey. So. Humanity forgets.
They forget genetic engineering and flying cars and teleportation magic. They remember the bare bones of ancient oaths and treaties but they don't have conext for them. The dimension of snake/fox people you had a longstanding treaty with is remembered as a children's game.
Anyways 3000 years pass and humanity sinks into darkness and then slowly, painstakingly, rebuilds. You're still trapped with your 12 colleages and the entity, but you have some small influence on the world. You command small armies of genetically engineered beings and mutants to slow progress. You manipulate people's dreams in a parallel dream dimension. You still aren't over your ex.
And then finally your ex's soul is spat back out into the world. He's a shepherd from a remote farming village. He's destined to be the most powerful male magician in 3000 years. He will go insane one day because of the taint on boy magic. You still love him. He doesn't even know who you are. Sometimes you can here him in the boy's voice, his stubborness. His ability to love other women.
Wheel of time is this story. Told from the perspective of your reincarnated ex and his 2 best childhood friends (reincarnated battle tactician with unreal luck and a man who has rediscovered wolf-telepathy), his childhood crush (president of the united states of girlbossery), his old babysitter (woman with every anger issue, ever), and his three girlfriends (yes they smoke weed. No you still aren't one of them).
It's a series that redefined how women are portrayed in fantasy. It recently got a television show that is a slightly different turning of the wheel but makes up for it by being explicity gay and having incredible costuming. It has excellent worldbuiliding and excellent character driven plot lines. It's been an absolute joy to reread after 7 years.

part three: prophetic synchronicity
— ★ in a dream shaped like a library, spencer finally sees that love was never sudden—instead it was breadcrumbed in the form of coffee dates, late-night chess games, and the scent of citrus on a borrowed sweater.
pairing: spencer reid x fem!reader ( no use of y/n ) content warnings: mention of serial killers and working in the field
masterlist - part one ✦ part two ✦ part four
Tumblr media
Time became measured in stolen touches and suppressed confessions.
Spencer had always been protective of you—perhaps to a fault—but now it bordered on obsession. Every field assignment left his nerves frayed, his focus splintered between the case and you. He hovered like a shadow, positioning himself between you and potential threats.
It escalated until Hotch pulled him aside, that familiar stern crease between his brows. "Reid, you’re distracted. More than usual."
The words were professional, but the look in his eyes said everything else: I know. And you need to get it together.
Spencer couldn’t even argue. He just nodded, guilty.
But even paperwork became an exercise in restraint.
He dragged out reports well past necessary, lingering in coffee shops just to watch you scribble notes with your tongue peeking between your teeth. He took you to Drip Drop Brew three times in one week, each visit punctuated by your delighted grip on his arm, your gasp of discovery as you scanned the menu. The way your entire face lit up could've powered entire cities. 
Spencer would’ve built you ten coffee shops if it meant seeing that expression again.
Then came the legs.
It started innocently enough—a brush of knees beneath the conference table, fleeting and accidental. But then he did it deliberately, hooking his ankle around yours during a briefing, pressing his calf to yours as if tethered by an invisible string.
You'd looked at him then, really looked, your pen freezing mid-sentence. But Spencer just kept working, his face the picture of academic detachment even as his pulse roared in his ears.
The need was unbearable.
To touch. To confirm. To claim.
Every casual contact burned like a brand, every moment apart felt like withdrawal. He was drowning in you, and the worst part? He didn't want to come up for air.
But the universe wasn't subtle tonight.
You'd fallen asleep somewhere between the opening credits and the first act of the movie, your head sliding onto his shoulder. Spencer froze, the remote clutched in his hand as your breathing evened out against his collarbone.
Carefully—so carefully—he paused the movie. The sudden silence made your sigh louder, your warmth more palpable.
His fingers moved on their own accord, brushing a stray lock of hair from your face, his thumb tracing the arch of your cheekbone. When he tucked the strand behind your ear, you nuzzled closer in your sleep, your nose pressing into the hollow of his throat.
That's when he saw it.
Frozen on the screen, the subtitles screamed at him in stark white letters:
"Sometimes you don't see that the best thing that's ever happened to you is sitting there, right under your nose."
The irony wasn't lost on him.
Not when your shampoo—something vanilla and citrus—filled every breath. Not when your hair tickled his actual nose. Not when your heartbeat thrummed against his ribs like a second pulse.
Spencer's lips parted on a silent gasp before he pressed them into a firm line.
The universe had a cruel sense of humor.
But then—because he was only human, because he was so desperately in love—he let his head fall back against yours, his cheek resting against the crown of your hair. The subtitles blurred as his eyes stung.
He fell asleep like that: nose buried in your hair, the words burning behind his eyelids.
Dreams were rare for Spencer Reid.
When sleep came, it usually brought nightmares—his mother's fractured voice, crime scene photos that bled into each other, visions of you hurt in some alleyway he couldn't reach.
But tonight, curled around your warmth on the couch, his subconscious offered him something extraordinary.
A library materialized around him, the scent of old paper and lemon oil thick in the air. Mahogany shelves stretched endlessly in every direction, their contents glowing under soft golden light.
Spencer turned in his armchair, the leather creaking beneath him—
—just as you peeked around a shelf, grinning.
"You like it?" You were exactly you, yet not. 
You were wearing a soft pink sweater, the kind that he immediately recognized—because it was his. Well, sort of. It was like one of his favorite cardigans, but in a pale shade of pink.
The sight sent something warm and possessive curling through his chest.
"Like what?" He rose slowly, a little confused as he glanced around the library, taking in the shelves, the stacks of books.
The air hummed with static, the way it did before rain.
"The library." You gestured broadly, your nail polish chipped exactly as it had been yesterday. When he didn't respond, you pouted—that pout—and nudged a book toward him. "Check them out."
The volume had no title. When he opened it, the pages moved.And immediately, his breath caught. The pages weren’t filled with words.
They were filled with memories.
The first memory Spencer saw was of when you and he met. He recognized it instantly. It was so vivid, like it was happening all over again.
There you were: frozen in the BAU bullpen on your first day, all nervous energy and bright eyes, that ridiculous ladybug hairclip holding back your hair. He'd nearly knocked you over while muttering about fractal patterns, too distracted to notice the new profiler standing awkwardly with a box of files.
"You're... not Hotch," you'd said, and something in his chest had gone click.
In the dream, his throat tightened. He remembered everything: the way your laugh lines appeared before the sound left your lips, how you'd bitten your bottom raw that first month from stress, the shy smile that formed on your face when Garcia complimented your shoes.
The book trembled in his hands.
The You in the dream leaned against the shelf, watching him with tender amusement. "Keep going," you murmured. "The next one's better."
The book’s pages fluttered like a living thing, revealing another memory—the first case you’d worked together.
There you were on the jet, tucked into a corner with your bottom lip caught between your teeth, fingers drumming an anxious rhythm against your thigh. Younger Spencer had slid into the seat across from you without a word, unfolding his travel chess set.
“Do you know how to play?”
"Not even a little," you'd admitted with that self-deprecating laugh he'd later learn meant you were overwhelmed.
For two hours, he taught you—the way knights moved in L-shapes, how pawns could become queens, why the Sicilian Defense was his favorite opening. He remembered the exact moment your frown of concentration melted into triumph when you captured his bishop (he’d sacrificed it on purpose, though he’d never admit it). The way your laughter had bounced off the jet’s walls when you realized too late that he’d cornered your king.
Checkmate.
The memory shimmered as the pages turned again, this time to something more intimate—a museum date disguised as a casual outing. You’d researched every painting in advance, scribbling notes in the margins of the exhibit pamphlet like you were preparing for an exam. 
His exam.
He remembered how he had looked at you when you added something to what he’d just rambled on about—how proud he felt, how surprised he was that you not only listened but also wanted to engage with him.
Page after page, the memories unfolded—each one a revelation.
The late-night work sessions where you’d fallen asleep on his couch, your cheek smushed against his copy of Atonement. The way you always saved him the last bite of your dessert, even when it was your favorite. That time in New Orleans when you’d traded your umbrella for his soaked-through jacket because “You’ll get sick faster than I will, genius.”
The realization struck him like a physical blow:
There was no single moment he’d fallen in love with you.
It was every moment.
Every shared glance, every inside joke, every time you’d looked at him like he’d hung the moon—they were all threads in the same tapestry, woven so seamlessly he hadn’t noticed the pattern until now.
The warmth in his chest wasn’t new. It was just you—constant as gravity, steady as sunrise. And it had been there all along.
He turned another page, but this one was blank.
Spencer frowned, flipping faster—empty, empty, empty. The fancy pages mocked him, their whiteness glaring under the library's golden light.
"You have to fill those." 
Your voice, sudden and close, made him startle. You'd been watching him the whole time, leaning against the shelves with that knowing smile he'd never been able to decipher—until now.
You plucked the book from his trembling hands, your fingers brushing his as you traced the pages he had just looked at.
"These are the moments you liked me," you said, tapping a memory where his younger self stared at your ladybug hairclip. "And now that you've finally realized you're in love with me—"
Spencer choked on air.
"—these pages," you continued, pointing at the blank pages. "will be filled with all the ways you love me." You snapped the book shut and slid it back onto the shelf with care, your pink sweater riding up just enough to reveal the dip of your waist.
Before he could protest, you pressed a new volume into his hands, this one heavier, its cover embossed with golden gilded letters he couldn't quite read. You nestled against his arm, your cheek warm against his sweater sleeve as he opened it.
Blank again.
"This one," you murmured, your breath ghosting over his wrist, "gets filled once you admit it to me. Out loud."
Spencer's pulse roared in his ears. "Admit it to you?"
You tilted your head up, so close he could count your lashes. "Yeah," you said, like it was the simplest truth in the world. "That you love me."
The library held its breath.
Your voice was soft, but the words struck him like a lightning bolt—crackling through his ribs, scorching his lungs. He had to squeeze his eyes shut to ignore the fantasies his brain already started forming. The idea of this volume being filled with memories of you waking up in his arms, of you holding hands on actual dates, of you—
Spencer blinked down at the book in his hands.
Blank cover, blank pages, yet it weighed more than any tomb in the Library of Congress. It thrummed against his palms, a living thing starving for the confession lodged in his throat.
"I..." His voice cracked. For once, his brilliant mind offered no equations, no statistics—just static.
You smiled that smile—the one reserved for his darkest moments, the one that had pulled him back from countless edges.
"It's okay," you murmured, leaning forward to brush a stray curl from his forehead. Your fingers lingered, warm against his temple. "I know it's scary." you grimaced slightly, as if speaking from experience.
Spencer closed his eyes, exhaling a shaky laugh. The book creaked slightly under his tightening grip. "This is the weirdest dream I've ever had," he admitted, voice barely above a whisper.
You grinned, all mischief and moonlight. "But it feels real, doesn't it?"
He couldn't answer. 
Because it did.
The way your thumb traced absent circles against his skin. The way your lashes caught the golden library light. The way you smelled like home—like worn paper and that citrus shampoo you'd accidentally left at his apartment months ago and never reclaimed.
It felt more real than the waking world ever had.
"You can take your time," you said, pressing a kiss to his cheek—so casual, so certain. "I'm always going to be here."
And for the first time in his life, Spencer Reid believed something without evidence.
He believed you.
