Darcyverse Drabbles

Written for the Darcyverse Drabble Race game on discord. If you'd like to join the Darcyverse on discord, drop me a line! We'd love to have you, and we're always looking for new Darcy fans to hang out with.

Prompt 1: Ultraviolet

There’s something about the way Carol looks in the dark, a glow off of her skin, that makes Darcy feel like she’s peering into an alien world. Like colour is suddenly brighter and more wild than she’s ever thought it was possible to be before. She can almost see the far bits of the spectrum, just beyond what her eye can reach, dancing on Carol’s skin.

She wonders what it’s like to hold so much magic within you. But beneath her touch, Carol’s skin comes alive, sparking under her hands, and Darcy thinks she’s come close to knowing after all.

…

Wanda’s magic leaves a faint smell of ozone in the atmosphere, so when Darcy walks through the door she knows something is up. Cautiously, she pads into the kitchen, making no noise, and puts the shopping on the counter.

Wanda’s by the window, her hair flowing in a breeze of her own creation, dark purple swirling around her.

“Bad day?” Darcy asks softly.

The magic falls, the smell in the air clears, and the room lights up once more. “In a manner of speaking,” says Wanda. “I’m glad you’re back.”

Darcy rests her chin on Wanda’s shoulder and says, “always.”

…

The problem with an alien species that is ultraviolet in colour is that they’re fucking invisible. At least, they are to people who aren’t mantis shrimps, which is the first time Darcy has wondered if life would be simpler if she were a shrimp.

She’s holding one of Jane’s scanners up like a weapon, wandering around the lab with her arm carefully outstretched and wondering if this is truly going to be her inglorious and undignified end.

It’s then that Jane flips a switch flooding the lab with a strange purple light and making the creature visible. Darcy strikes.

…

Space is weird. Space is super weird, and Darcy has decided that space is arguably too weird to live in and that she’s had quite enough of everything being super, stupidly weird.

“So, let me get this straight,” she says, furious at the weird stupid space predicament. “They shot us with a light ray that somehow took out our sensors.”

“That is about the shape of it,” says Rocket. “I can honestly say I didn’t see it coming.”

“So, you’re saying we’ve been… blinded by the light.”

Peter gives her a high five, but all Darcy feels is annoyed. Honestly, fuck space.

…

Prompt 2: Black Hole

“Ah,” said Carol mildly. “Shit.”

“Shit?” Darcy asked, a little less mildly. “No, not shit. Don’t say shit when you’re flying a space ship. Do pilots say shit? No. Because shit is bad! No shit!”

“Yeah, shit is bad,” said Carol. “We, uh, may or may not be going into a black hole.”

“A black hole?” Darcy said.

Carol sighed. “You know what I’m gonna just go out and push.”

There was nothing Carol had ever done, or possibly ever could do after this, that would be more astounding to Darcy than watching her literally push the ship out of the gravitational pull of the black hole.

…

Black Hole coffee was the only place in town that served java bitter enough to suit Valkyrie, whose taste in coffee was that it should be nearly undrinkable. Darcy’d got used to it though, braving blacker and blacker coffee until the caffeinated sludge the Black Hole served started to actually become appealing.

Valkyrie smiled at her over her cup, a half-torn glow-in-the dark print of one of the Hubble photographs peeling off the wall behind her. Everything about the black hole screamed bitter grunge, but Darcy was surprised to find it had suddenly become the happiest place she’d ever been.

…

Valkyrie joining a Ska band was somehow both something Darcy hadn’t expected and something that made total sense as soon as she said it. Anyway, it was for this reason that Darcy wound up spending most of her nights tucked away in the corner of the Black Hole, curled up at the back table, watching her girlfriend’s mediocre-at-best band play.

It was worth it, for the smiles Valkyrie flashed at her – just for her – or the way she came over and kissed her at the end of the set, her breath tasting like coffee.

Darcy bought the band’s shirt for everyone she knew.

…

“I just don’t think it could. There are rules about matter – it might be magic, but it’s still matter,” said Jane emphatically, gesturing with her mug.

“Yeah, but it’s a magic hammer. It’s virtually indestructible. I think it would make it through.”

Jane sighed. “Virtually doesn’t mean actually. The laws of physics still apply, Darcy.”

“Says you. We could always try it…” Darcy suggested, grinning maniacally.

Jane gave her a flat look. “No,” she said bluntly. “We are not asking Thor if we can throw his hammer through a black hole.”

“But it’s for science!” shouted Darcy. ...

Prompt 3: Solar

Darcy first gets the sinking feeling when the little kid says, “mister Obi-Wan, sir?” in a voice that suggests something is about to go completely, thoroughly and utterly tits up.

“It’s just, we’re going to have to pass through a solar flare,” the kid says, very earnestly.

Darcy can’t really see why it’s a problem, but all of her senses say this kid knows something she doesn’t. The Mister Obi-Wan Sir in question, however, carries on.

It’s only later when they’d crash landed in a strange and foreign galaxy, camping under the worlds most undulating and pungent trees, that Darcy gives the kid a nod. “No solar flares; got it.”

…

Carol can feel the power humming just beneath her skin, wanting to be let out. It’s like holding on to a sun in her bare hands. Every touch she gives to Darcy has to be careful, so careful – careful she doesn’t burn, or hurt. She feels sometimes like the energy within her is burning her up like a real sun, and that one day she’ll be consumed by it.

Alone at night, so glows faintly in the dark. Her skin is luminous and the light flows out through her. And she lets it out, lets it burn through her, bright and hot, until she can lie back down on the grass and stare up at the stars.

…

There’s a side to Valkyrie Darcy really hadn’t seen coming. They’re waiting for the sun to rise again on the longest day of the year – it’s barely set, and she can still see the faint flicker of light on the horizon, a pale gold that catches Valkyrie’s face and seems to bring out the colour of her skin. Valkyrie is staring intently at the horizon, waiting.

“We used to hear them call,” she says softly. “This was a holy day.”

Looking at Valkyrie’s face, so enraptured by the sun, surrounded by the survivors of Asgard, Darcy says softly, “it still is.”

…

New Asgard does everything by the sun, and it’s a kind of living Darcy thrives in. Before you never would have caught her dead out of bed at 6am, but now, now she rises and moves with the sun, changing with the seasons. It’s on New Asgard that Darcy finds herself again, post-snap, post-everything. She presses her hands into the earth, weeding around seedlings and watching over them as they grow. And as the press up through the dirt, rising to meet the sun, so does she.

For the first time since the snap, Darcy remembers what it is to be alive.

…

“Are you growing weed?” is the first thing Jane asks when she visits Darcy’s apartment.

“No, I’m growing houseplants. Why, do you need weed?”

“It’s just, it looks like a grow-op in here.” And it sort-of does, with all of her grow-lights everywhere, blasting artificial sunlight down on her sun-starved houseplants. Darcy grimaces from within a small jungle of calatheas around her desk.

“I ran out of windows.”

Jane snorts, managing to find a seat nestled between two huge parlour palms.

“Well, I suppose as hobbies go, this one is fairly inoffensive,” Jane says. “Although I don’t know how you get any work done.”

...

Prompt 4: Cluster

There’s a gaggle of space penguins in the lab that definitely weren’t there when Darcy left to get a sandwich. They’re clustered around what Darcy has nicknamed ‘the teleporter’, an attempt by her and Jane to replicate Strange’s magic. Which, by the look of the space penguins, worked.

“Uh…?” was the best version of the question Darcy managed to ask.

Jane sighed, looking distinctly wet. “They came in on a wave through the teleporter. I can’t figure out why it’s not connecting to the right point.”

One of them nestled up to Jane’s leg, and there rest of the cluster seemed to take the hint and surrounded her.

Darcy did the only logical thing: snapped a photo.

…

Star clusters looked amazing from the telescopes Darcy had access to. Both in terms of the data she had, but also just to look at – bright collections of light in the night sky.

Turns out, flying a ship through them was horrible.

“Do you guys do this often, because I’m not gonna lie, it feels like we’re gonna die,” she said.

“As long as we don’t run into a solar flare, we’re fine,” said Rocket. “I’ve heard weird things about solar flares.”

As always, in space, Darcy came to better understand the difference between observing and being – and she wished she were back home.

…

darcyverse drabble race drabbles

Prompt - Ultraviolet - Darcy & Thor “Tanning beds are not good for you, I’m telling ya. The ultraviolet, just … no. Bad.” 

“But Darcy …” 

“They’re in the same classification as cigarettes for how dangerous they are. They’ll cause you to age faster, increase your risk of skin cancer, sun damage without even having the pleasure of going out into the sun, you’ll have those weird tan lines on your eyes from the little goggles, it’s just not worth it.” 

“Right, but …” 

“And aren’t you worried about getting trapped inside of one? They always made me claustrophobic, back when I was stupid enough to get in one. I was afraid someone would lock me in somehow. 

“Darcy, I’m thousands of years old, if Surtur couldn’t kill me, I doubt a tanning bed could.” 

“You don’t know that! And wouldn't that just be your luck? To have lived through frost giants, dark elves, and fire monsters? And in the end it’s a tanning bed that got you?” 

Thor sighed. “Okay, okay, I’ll make an appointment for a spray tan.” 

“Thank you.” 

prompt - Ultraviolet - Darcy/Bucky

She knew it was confusing him, so she of course decided to keep doing it, and in more outrageous ways. Apparently Bucky didn’t understand the concept of highlighter in the 2020’s, so when she caught him squinting at her she asked what the hell was up. 

“Why do you keep staring at me? Other than because I’m gorgeous?” 

“Your cheekbones are shiny … what is it? Eyeshadow for your cheeks?” 

Darcy laughed. “Yes, that’s it exactly. Eyeshadow for my cheeks.” 

“It’s kinda purplish?” 

“Ultraviolet. From an ABH highlighter palette.” 

“I have no idea what you just said.” 

The next day it was Fenty in the shade gold digger, which was golden sparkles. The day after that it was a pink liquid highlighter. 

He finally said something when it was the duochrome silver to green shift from the Kat Von D alchemy palette. 

“Now you’re just fucking with me. Green?” 

“It’s a good excuse to use the makeup I don’t reach for often. To confuse my adorable boyfriend who thinks that highlighter is cheek eyeshadow.” prompt - Black Hole - Darcy & Tony

“Tony, can I ask you a question?” 

He looked up from the motherboard he was working on. “Uhhhhh I’m afraid to say yes.” 

“It’s a science question if that helps.” 

“It doesn’t, but go ahead.” 

Darcy took a deep breath. “So, the Death Star.”

He sighed.

“Wouldn’t destroying planets right and left create some kind of black hole? I’ve always wondered this. You have a whole planet, set in an orbit around a sun, and then suddenly it’s not there anymore, all the energy of a planet just wiped out, wouldn’t that cause like, a serious imbalance in the force?” 

“Okay, you’re talking like the force is a real thing.” 

“It is, it’s everywhere, runs through us, binds us …” 

“God, I hate it when you do this …” 

“Do what?” 

“When you ask a nonsensical question about a fictional world … but at the same time, might actually have a point. And now it’s going to bother me and I’m going to have to sit here and think about it.” 

Darcy laughed. “Gotcha.”

Darcyverse Drabbles Round 2

Written for the Drabble Race game in the Darcyverse discord server. Hit me up if you want to join our cool Darcy-centric server, all about our favourite Marvel gal. ;)

Prompt 1: Magnetism

It’s hard to deny the pull even from across the room when she locks eyes. Valkyrie is so incredibly, unbelievably out of her league, and yet… there’s something promising in the way she’s looking at Darcy from the other side of the bar and for the first time, Darcy thinks maybe.

When they’re kissing later and maybe has become definitely, Darcy wonders aloud how she’d got so lucky.

“I was going to say the same,” says Valkyrie. “It just felt right.”

She pulls her closer and kisses her harder, and they fit, like magnets, together in the dark.

…

It’s several rounds before Monica figures out precisely how Darcy is doing it. It’s sad, really, that it look her this long. But ever since Monica had come down with a case of the superpowers, Darcy had started learning stage magic purely just to - as she put it - “keep up with you wizards.”

Darcy is making the card levitate, holding it out in front of her with panache and moving it through the air, wiggling her fingers. Wanda is laughing a little into her wine glass.

“I’ve got it,” says Monica. “Magnets.”

With a snap the card flies into Darcy’s hand and then she chucks one of the magnets at Monica. “Stop ruining the magic!”

…

Wanda sometimes wonders if trouble is drawn to her, pulled by some unseen force. Like the world bends around her as she moves, throwing danger and despair in her path. She worries about it when she looks at Darcy and thinks about the way everyone she has ever loved is gone. It’s a scary thing to love again, feeling like it might be the undoing of her.

Darcy’s asleep, one hand loosely curled next to her face, and Wanda wants to leave. But if danger is pulled to her, she is pulled to Darcy, and she’s helpless to let go.

…

There’s something magnetic about the way Darcy laughs, the way she smiles. It pulls Valkyrie in, until she finds she’s laughing too, smiling too, and hopelessly besotted. There’s a million little thoughtful things Darcy leaves dotted around Valkyrie’s life, that have become indelible now, pressed upon her over and over like little kisses. Morning coffees, errands run, dishes washed. A thousand tiny things that have kept Darcy at the forefront of Valkyrie’s mind, always present, always smiling, and always the light that Valkyrie turns towards.

It’s only later, stroking Darcy’s hair that Valkyrie realises she has come to think of Darcy - her Darcy - as home.

Prompt 2: Luminosity

“What is it?” Carol asked, looking more than a little confused, looking at the new aquarium set up in her room.

“Oh, boy,” said Darcy, “are you in for a treat.” With a huge flourish she reached over and flicked off the light. The fish glowed faintly in the dark, swimming around in circles. “Nightlight fish!”

“You bought me… nightlight fish?” Carol asked, flatly.

“They match you,” Darcy said, laughing. “They’re your fish buds.”

“This is about me keeping you awake at night isn’t it.”

“Your aquatic people! Your scaly counterparts! Your swimming siblings!”

“... sometimes I hate you.”

…

The water was lapping rhythmically against the beach, beating out a slow rhythm that Darcy found unbelievably soothing. By the dying light of the campfire she could just see Valkyrie slipping off her shoes, then peeling her socks off one by one.

“C’mon,” Valkyrie said softly, pulling Darcy to her feet. They came to the water’s edge, and Darcy noticed a faint glow along the waves, pale blue and sparkling. Valkyrie brushed sharply through the water with her foot, sending out a wave of blue sparkles into the night.

“Phosphorescent plankton,” she said, jumping into the water and splashing about, wreathed in pale blue glow. She grinned wildly, and Darcy leapt.

…

The power went out in the lab suddenly, machinery grinding to a halt, and the low, persistent whine of the lights dropping off to nothing. “Where’s the generator?” Jane snapped immediately. “The power shouldn’t be out.”

Rustling through the emergency cupboard, Darcy emerged victorious with the flashlight. Pointing it up at her face and flicking it on, she grinned maniacally. “Zere iz no generator, Doktor Foster, for tonight, you die!”

Jane smiled, whacking Darcy with her notes and shouting “stop it” even over the sound of Darcy’s dastardly “mwhahahaha!”

“You’re an idiot,” Jane said, affectionately.

Darcy passed her the flashlight. “Yeah, but I’m your idiot.”

…

“What is it?” Darcy asked, leaning forward and resting her head in her hands. The pale green glow of the substance lit up her face, casting odd shadows.

“We have no idea,” said Natasha, tapping the case. The green goo reacted, flinching away from her touch and rearing up. “But we’re pretty sure it’s alive.”

“So,” said Darcy slowly, “basically we discovered Flubber.”

Natasha shot her a flat look. “Space Flubber.”

As one they both stood up. “Above my paygrade,” they both said, laughing as they turned and fled the lab, leaving it for Tony to sort out. He seemed more the Flubber sort.

…

Morning broke over the cliffs, the first light of the sun, pale yellow and not yet warm, drifted in through Darcy’s window. Over the bed it lit up her white duvet, and landed in soft stripes across Valkyrie’s skin. Darcy traced them with her fingers, revelling in the way the light cast soft shadows across her body.

Valkyrie rolled over, smiling softly at her and curling up in the crook of Darcy’s arm. Her fingers were growing warm in the sunbeam, resting on Valkyrie’s hip. And in the early morning, she pulled her closer still, and waited for the sun to draw them out.

…

In between the street lamps, the path was absolutely pitch dark, overgrown on both sides, and it looked foreboding. Darcy found herself almost running from streetlight to streetlight, getting through the darkness as quick as she could. Out of habit, she slipped one of her keys between her fingers, clenching her hand tightly.

A sound from the bushes sent her heart racing, and she picked up the pace, almost running into the light of the next streetlamp. Turning, pulse racing, she came face to face with Valkyrie.

“Sorry,” she said. “Didn’t mean to scare you.”

Darcy breathed out, letting the tension drop from her body. “Walk me home?”

Prompt 3: Gravity

“I honestly never thought this would happen,” Darcy said, somewhat hysterically. “I mean, I know it comes up all the time in movies, but I really, really never thought this would happen.”

“I think we’re supposed to stop squirming,” Jane said nervously. “I can’t remember what we’re supposed to do.”

“I don’t know!” Darcy shouted. “I can’t remember any of the movies!”

They sunk a little further, Darcy caned her neck up. “Do I tread water?”

“I don’t think you can tread quicksand,” Jane said. “I think we’re just doomed.”

“We’re doomed!” Darcy howled, as they sunk to the deep.

…

There’s a push-pull to the way they’re moving around each other, dancing around the open secret between them. Flirting is all lingering touches and innuendoes, drawing nearer and nearer, and then pulling away, caught in an orbit and never quite touching. Darcy shivers as Valkyrie runs fingers up her back, listens for the soft exhale Valkyrie gives when Darcy fixes her hair, feels her pulse race when their fingers brush, swapping glasses.

They’re pulled, closer and closer, in a decaying orbit around each other. Until at last, one of them lets go, and they both fall.

Total: 12

Chapters: 7/? Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Darcy Lewis/Brock Rumlow Additional Tags: Discord: Darcyverse, taserbones, Not Canon Compliant, Post-HYDRA Reveal, Timeline What Timeline, triple agent!Brock Rumlow, Awesome Darcy Lewis, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fake Marriage, Marriage of Convenience, Enemies to Lovers, ...kind of, It's one-sided enemies, pure ridiculousness, Started as a Sitcom but quickly went Full RomCom, this is LittleMrsCookie's fault

Summary:

Darcy needs a fake husband to bring to Jane and Thor's wedding, and Natasha knows just who to ask. Darcy's not thrilled, but she's also desperate and it's only supposed to be for a weekend anyways, so she figures: what's the harm? ...Turns out, there's quite a bit of harm when Darcy accidentally tells Mama Rumlow she and Brock are married, and things quickly spiral out of control from there.
