#i never thought we'd get to this point where we tear down the women who have constituted as the steps in our society as it's moved forward

[marciabrady]

not a question but i just wanted to thank you for always defending the first 4 disney princesses! their motives & overall character have been so misunderstood by ppl, even by their own actresses (more-so emma & rachel). and yes not everything has aged perfectly well, it’s disappointing to say the least. but on the bright side, there are people like you who actually care & see how much depth these princesses have <33

AS SAID BY GARRUS VAKARIAN, updated version  *  assorted dialogue from the mass effect trilogy, adjust as necessary

i can't find any hard evidence.

good luck, [name]. maybe they'll listen to you.

i'm coming with you.

sometimes it feels like the rules are only there to stop me from doing my work.

i just couldn't take it anymore.

maybe i can get the job done my way for a change.

if you're wrong, we'll pay for it. but if you're right, and we did nothing, i think we'd regret it a whole lot more.

i thought you were dead.

it sure is good to see a friendly face.

at least it's not hard to find criminals here. all i have to do is point my gun and shoot.

my feelings got in the way of my better judgement.

i'll make you a deal. you get me out of here alive, and i'll tell you the whole damn thing.

nobody would give me a mirror. how bad is it?

don't make me laugh, damn it.

some women find facial scars attractive.

i'm fit for duty whenever you need me.

when i got to the meeting point, no one was there.

kill you? no. but i don't mind slowing you down a little.

what do you want from me, [name]?

i know you want to talk about this... but i don't. not yet.

it's so much easier to see the world in black and white. gray... i don't know what to do with gray.

my instincts are what got me into this mess.

never knew you had a weakness for men with scars.

well, why the hell not? there's nobody in this galaxy i respect more than you.

if we can figure out a way to make it work, then... yeah. definitely.

you're about the only friend i've got left in this screwed-up galaxy.

you don't ever have to worry about making me uncomfortable. nervous, yes... but never uncomfortable.

i brought wine.

your hair looks... good. and your waist is... very supportive.

hopefully that's not offensive in human culture.

i want something to go right. just once.

think you can win this thing, [name]?

i'm pretty sure we'll still need giant guns... and lots of them.

so... is this the part where we shake hands?

the scars are starting to fade. i remember they drove you wild.

i've been doing some more research on human customs.

glad to know my romantic skills made an impression.

let's not go there.

i can afford the good stuff.

what about you? i'm starting to see some wear and tear.

don't forget to come up for air. and not just because all these people need you. because i need you.

if you're suggesting i'm scared... game on.

still trying to make me blush, huh?

i'd be lying if i said i didn't hope it would inspire a certain... mood.

it seemed like you needed time to... figure us out.

the worst part about the galaxy going to hell would've been never getting to see you again.

not saying you don't know how to handle a gun. just saying some of us know how to make it dance.

i've actually seen you dance. no comment.

i know there are other things you're good at.

probably not a lot of air in here. an hour if we're lucky.

so tell me. think a girl would fall for that?

it gets even better when you try it in bed.

you don't lack for places to get lost.

did we break anything last night?

you'll find a way to win. and when this is over, i'll be waiting for you.

if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there... meet me at the bar. i'm buying.

forgive the insubordination, but your boyfriend has an order for you.

come back alive. it'd be an awfully empty galaxy without you.

we're in this 'til the end.

we didn’t kill these people. and we’re going to shut down the bastards who did.

looks like we’ve got a siege on our hand.

if anyone needs fresh clips or a bathroom break, now’s the time.

oh crap!

guess he didn’t like the food.

looks like we got the jump.

pretty extreme, but those were desperate times.

we won’t get a second chance.

that was me, sorry.

nothing like being stranded.

we’ll do more than that.

just the usual minor flesh wound.

what would these people have done if we hadn’t shown up?

i was there when you two had your thing, remember? just get a room and work it out.

stay angry. we’ll need it to get through this.

drinks will be on me.

one of my favorite places to fight!

i’m hard to kill. you should know that.

it’s gonna be bad all over.

for whatever it’s worth, i’m with you.

you’ve waited long enough for this day.

just wait ‘til this war is over.

you came along and warmed my heart with your winning personality.

maybe you’d like to go work for them instead?

how do i not have one of those?

surprise on our side for once. i like it.

brutal, but it makes a certain kind of sense.

Heal me masterlist

Rogue-barnes-16 masterlist

Soon I was in an American bus, making my way to Brooklyn, more specifically to the Barnes' house.

All I remembered from the previous days was crying for Bucky, because he was not supposed to die, because I loved him and because he loved me.

I should have gone to the mission with them, I should have argued more, he would eventually have given in ;I should have tell him I loved him, even if I had told him already, even if he knew it; I shouldn't have gotten mad at him for protecting me, at least not in that moment.

It wasn't fair, because now I had to live with the guilt, and not just the one that came with Bucky’s death, but also the one that hit me after Steve's.

I never would get to apologize with any of them, I would never be able to make amends with those two Brooklyn boys.

I pushed back all those thoughts for a moment, and after taking a deep breath, I knocked the Barnes' door and waited for them to open it.

"Y/n? Darlin' so good to see you again!" Mrs. Barnes greeted, slowly opening the door. "what're ya doin' here, hun?" I didn't open my mouth, I couldn't part my lips. "you came to visit ya ma?" her voice had dropped subtly, almost as if she knew.

She knew, but was waiting for me to deny it.

I didn't shake my head no, I didn't speak the dreadful news, I only took one of my hands to my bag and grabbed Bucky’s military hat.

As I handed it to Mrs. Barnes, I saw the color leaving her face, but she didn't cry. "Where's Steve? Why isn't he with ya, hun?" her trembling voice asked in a puddle of nerves.

This time I did shake my head no, and tears were spilled. I didn't notice Rebecca coming to us until she was sobbing too.

"I'm sorry..." I apologized in a broken whisper. "It's my fault" I didn't even realize what I was saying, not even when they turned to look at me. "It's my fault he's dead... I'm- I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. It's my fault" confusion showed up on their faces while they looked at me. I finally broke down to tears, covering my mouth with one hand, trying desperately to hold back the sobs because I didn't deserve to cry with them. "I'm sorry" I repeated, but this time came out too broken to be understood, too muffled to be heard. I shut my eyes, not wanting to see the two women. "I'm so sorry- it's my f-fault I-" the sobs turned worse and my head started to spin. I had to hold onto the door frame because now with my eyes closed, the only thing I could see was Bucky's face. "I should've been there... Oh God I should have been there I'm sorry... I'm so sorry- Oh my God-"

I felt someone's trembling arms hugging me. "it ain't your fault, Y/n." it was Rebecca's voice. "it ain't on you."

A Month Later

"Y/n, love!" Mary, my bestfriend, called my name from the entrance of our house. "There's a man here who wanna see ya!"

After what happened to Bucky and Steve, after all the guilt and the sorrow, I didn't think twice before leaving the Howling Commandos. Some of the boys had tried to talk me out of it, but they couldn't have changed my mind about a decision I had made more than two years ago.

To my surprise, the boy standing in front of Mary, was non other than the one who supported my decision. "Gabe?"

"Hey" he gave me a small smile while I requested Mary to leave us. "How ya doin'?"

"I'm just trynna live" I quietly replied, stepping aside and motioning him to get in. "How come you're here?"

He hesitantly stepped in the living room, looking around. "I... We've been cleaning up" I nodded, closing the door before sitting in the sofa. "and Uh..."

"I took my things when I left." I informed him, figuring he might have mistaken and item in Bucky’s things for something mine.

"yeah, no, but-" he cleared his throat and, after taking his hand to his bag, he handed me an envelope. "this got ya name."

I stared at the envelope for a while. It had my name written over it, not just once, but four times. Three of them were crossed out, like he had been going to give it to me, and then he had regretted it.

"Morita had it between his things... Apparently Bucky gave it to him the day-"

"I don't want it" I muttered, unaware of the tears streaming down my cheeks until one fell over the same envelope.

"I'll leave it here, though." Gabe stated, getting up "in case you change your mind."

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't read the letter.

But it sat there, in my tiny wooden nightstand, and I was greeted with that view every morning, when I woke up to go to work in Kew Gardens General Hospital; every evening, when I came back and went to sleep; every singled time I entered.

And it wasn't like I couldn't remove it from the nightstand and put it inside that brass box of photographs an small things I had from War.

I could grab the damn letter and put it in that box that I knew I wouldn't open in several years, but I wasn't able to.

Because it was Bucky’s letter. It was what he had written me God knows when, it was a letter he had planned to give me several times, but something made him change his mind.

It wasn't just a letter.

It was something else, something I was completely sure that if I opened, I would throw away any opportunity of moving on.

But did l want to move on from that witty, kind-hearted brunette that I had fallen for in a crowded Brooklyn bar?

Days passed by, and in a sunny morning, after driving my bestfriend child to school, I decided I didn't want to move on just yet.

I waited until the kid had jumped out the car to open the envelope.

My shaky hands tore it, and something fell to the car's floor.

A ring. A beautiful wedding ring that made me let out the first sob.

Y/n,

If you receive this letter is because something bad happened to me.

I'm sorry doll, I really wanted to tell you how I feel about you, but I chickened out every time you talked to me.

I'm sure it wouldn't have happened if we'd come this close before I was captured.

I want you to know I fell for those fiery eyes and that damn smile the first time you asked me to dance that night back in Brooklyn, and I hope you know how thankful I am to have been able to meet that gal in the blue dress again, to get to know her.

I'm so mad at myself because I lost the opportunity to tell you.

Bucky

I didn't understand the point of this letter, since he had already told me most of the things written down. Then I realized he had written and crossed my name a few times.

This was the first version.

I'm glad I kissed you again, it felt really nice and gave me hope, but again but I know how is war, and I know you'll end up receiving this letter.

I love you, doll, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you.

I turned the page, tears streaming down my cheeks.

Don't read anything of the other side of the letter, I wrote it before this mission. I wrote it every time I thought I could die, for you to have something mine.

God I'm sorry, I know it sounded stupid, but I want you to remember me. Please, don't forget me.

A couple of nights ago you asked me what would happen if you died. Doll, you're not gonna die while I'm alive, and that's why I know you'll end up receiving this.

I love you Y/n

I knew I was gonna start to read the last version of the letter, and I was not ready. But I couldn't leave it now.

Y/n,

I hope you don't receive this, I wanna come back, I have something really important to do.

I'm 100% 90% sure that I'll get to cross out your name again, and the moment I do, I'm gonna trash this stupid letter and we'll go to Brooklyn.

But in case I'm wrong, in case you receive this, I want you to know that this ring was for you. It still is, it always will, because I'm in love with you and not even death can change that.

I'll be seeing you.

Yours, Bucky.

I couldn't physically move, I was catatonic.

This couldn't be happening to me, I refused to accept his intention was to propose the moment Stark landed in England with Zola, I refused to believe his things were packed because he meant it when he told me we were coming back to Brooklyn.

I convinced myself that it wasn't true for years

6 Years Later

I was picking up the mail when I noticed a particularly odd envelope with my name.

LIEUTENANT Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N:

We are recruiting former soldiers and agents for a new unit, born from the ashes of the Strategic Scientific Reserve, and founded by Agent Margaret Elizabeth Carter.

We are in need of an expert in the medical field, and miss Carter assured us there was no better nurse than you.

In case you need more information, come to visit us to the address written in the back of the envelope.

One single envelope that was about to change my life.

I Can Be Your Hero

Wonder Woman x Fem!Reader

Summary : You were just another Amazon on the Paradise Island, why would someone as incredible as Diana notice you, let alone return your feelings? You try to confess to her one day but everything went horribly wrong.

You woke up to another beautiful morning on Paradise Island. Sound of birds chirping and womens' cheerful laughter filled your ears and you felt at peace. This was how every morning of your life started as an Amazon. You got up and out of bed, eating a small breakfast. As you organized some things around your home, you heard the mighty clash of a sword. Already knowing who was making such a sound, you quickly got ready and were out the door.

You practically ran to the training grounds to see Diana sparring with one of the other women. You couldn't help yourself as the snile crossed your face. Diana, Princess of the Amazons, she was a fierce warrior, breathtaking in the eyes of anyone who laid eyes on her, and of course the woman you were going to confess to. You had been infatuated with Diana since you were children. You played together, sometimes you got to spar with her, and sometimes she would specifically seek you out to talk to about her problems. You remember the moment you knew for sure you had fallen for her.

You and Diana were just a couple of young women, just hitting adulthood but still rebellious. Diana had always been that way and had often pulled you into her schemes. It was late one night, she had climbed up to your window and snuck into your room.

"Y/n, wake up."

She whispered softly into your ear. She smiled when she saw you move a little but you didn't wake up. She got on top of you and spoke into your ear again.

"Y/n, if you don't wake up, i'll beat you up."

She joked. You felt her nudging you and then you finally woke up. You saw Diana smiling at you and gasped.

"Diana, what are you doing in here? You could get us in so much trouble."

Diana pressed her finger to your lips gently and told you to keep quiet. She took your hand and led you to the window.

"Come with me, Y/n. I want to go swim."

"But it's so late at night. Are you out of your mind? What if someone catches us?"

Diana just laughed. You felt your heart skip a beat, her smile was so beautiful. She slapped your arm playfully and you gave her a concerned smile.

"Live a little, my friend. We aren't young forever."

You sighed in defeat, Diana smiled knowing she won, and followed your friend out the window and you both ran down to the beach.

You were glad you followed her. You watched as Diana defeated the person she was sparring and you went to approach her. But alas, she was already swarmed by the others, as they praised her victory. You smiled and walked away, down to the beach, but unbeknownst to you, Diana saw you out of the corner of her eye as you walked off. You got to the shore of the beach and thought back on that night.

You and Diana giggled as you rushed into the water, splashing each other. You fell backwards into the water and let your body float on the surface. The cool water felt incredible against the breezy, warm night.

"I take it all back, Diana. This was a great idea."

No answer. You stood in the water, looking around, no sign of your friend. You began to feel a bit of panic and you called out for her. You felt something graze your leg and you jumped back in the water. Diana swam to the surface smiling. You splashed water at her face.

"You scared me!"

"Yeah, that was the point."

She laughed as she stood. You rolled your eyes at her, but laughed as well, and then your eyes landed back on her. She had taken her clothes off and was now completely naked in front of you. You immediately covered your eyes and turned away from her, your face turning red.

"D-DIANA! Where are your clothes!?"

"I took them off. Why are you embarrassed? We are both girls, what is the problem?"

Diana giggled as she swam in front of you, your eyes still covered. She stood in front of you and took your hands away from your eyes, she was very much stronger than you. You kept your eyes closed and tried not to look. You felt something on you cheek and your eyes opened out of fear. Just as you did, you saw Diana pulling away with a smile on her face.

"You're so modest, Y/n."

She didn't get it. Nobody on the island did. The short kiss on your cheek meant nothing to her but it meant something to you. You pushed past Diana and walked back to the beach.

"Y/n! Where are you going? I was only playing around."

You walked back home and thought about what Diana said. You sighed and whispered to yourself.

"I know."

It was all too much for you to handle. You knew from that moment on, you couldn't be around Diana, it wouldn't be the same. You distanced yourself from her but living on the same island, you saw her around often. She didnt know why you had drifted apart and you never knew just how much it broke her heart.

You felt a hand on your shoulder and were brought back to reality. You looked over your shoulder to see Diana smiling at you. She came up behind you, hugging your body close to hers, laying her head on your shoulder. You blushed madly. This couldn't really be happening to you, could it?

"You remember that night."

Diana's angelic voice rang softly in your ears. You gulped and worked up the courage to respond.

"Yes. It was one of the best nights of my life."

Diana turned you around and made you look at her, her deep brown eyes full of confusion and concern.

"Then why? Why did you leave that night? Why did we stop being friends?"

You looked away, ashamed of yourself for not explaining it to her sooner. Your face was an embarrassing shade of red.

"Diana, I....I was.."

Diana gently stroked your face with her thumb and softly spoke.

"What? Please tell me."

"Scared."

The was a moment of silence between you. Diana was about to speak when suddenly a boulder was thrown at you. You and Diana looked where the rock had come from. A beast, looking like a dragon with 2 heads, was lurking in the water, ready to launch more boulders. Upon further inspection, you quickly identified the monster as a hydra. You reached for Diana's sword and looked at her with a certain courageous glimmer in your eyes.

"Stay here!"

"What? No! Let me help you!"

"Not this time, Diana."

You dashed into the water and the hydra came charging at you. It was shallow where you were so you were able to stand easily in the water. Diana felt something strange inside her, a weird feeling she couldn't explain.

The beast swiped its large claw at you and you kicked it away and cut it off, you spun and stabbed the beast but didn't hit anything vital. You continued to fight the hydra for a bit linger as Diana felt helpless and watched. You had landed several good hits and slashed the monster multiple times, making it weak, and you felt confident that you'd impress Diana. The beast went to take a bite at you with one head and you swung the sword, cutting its mouth. You knew if you were to cut the head off of the beast, two more would appear. The other head tried to bite at you from behind but you have quick reflexes and were able to dodge it. But not quick enough it would seem, the other head grabbed you up in its jaw and threw you at the beach, you hit the cliffside and fell to the sand. Diana rushed over to and made sure you were breathing. Luckily, you were only unconscious. She took her sword and went to fight off the monster.

Your eyes fluttered open and you saw Diana, she was carrying you [bridal style] in her arms, up the hill away from the beach where the monster was being removed by other Amazons. You felt a wave of embarrassment and Diana noticed you were awake. She put you down to see if you could stand on your feet, you could. Diana checked your injuries but you had very few and they didn't hurt. You just stood there, disappointed in yourself. Diana held your face in both of her gentle hands.

"You could've been hurt, badly. Do you understand that, Y/n? I was so worried about you." She pulled you into a hug and you felt tears start to fall down your cheeks. Diana pulled away and looked at you, you looked her in the eyes and confessed everything.

"I'm sorry, Diana. I tried to be a hero, your hero. I left that night because i was scared, scared of my feelings and scared that you wouldn't see me the same ever again. I thought if you knew the truth, we'd grow apart so i just shut myself away. I was enamoured by you, i wanted you to kiss me more and that scared me. So i ran away and hid like a coward."

You hugged Diana tightly and cried into her embrace. She smiled to herself and laughed softly.

"Y/n, you are not a coward. You took on that beast all alone, and almost defeated it single-handedly. That makes you one of the bravest people i know."

You pulled away and looked at Diana. She smiled at you and you couldn't help but smile back. And then suddenly, Diana leaned in and kissed you. Not on the cheek like before but on your lips, it was soft, passionate, and full of feeling. She pulled away and you both walked back to the village together, hand in hand.

She was on her way to becoming a college graduate

Wouldn't even stop to talk to the average kid

The type of Latina I'd sit and contemplate marriage with

Fuck the horse and carriage shit, her love was never for hire

Disciplined, intellectual beauty's what I desire

Flyer than Salma Hayek or Jennifer Lopez

Everyone told me, kicking it to her was hopeless

At first I just thought, she didn't mess with broke kids

The thug niggas always talking about, how they smoke kids

But the rich-sniff-coke kids got no play

"I'm not even interested, " is what her body language would say

Everyone around the way, gave up trying to get in it

It didn't matter how good your game was, she wasn't with it

On the block, bitches was jealous, but wouldn't admit it

Talk shit, and deny to everyone that they did it

Cause they regretted the long list of niggas that they let hit it

And no one ever gave them shit except McDonald's and did-dick

Smoking weed with thoughts of envy, whenever they lit it

She spoke intelligently and they bit it, always trying to copy

But when they tried to use her vocab they sounded sloppy

She had a style, all her own, respectful and pure

I was sick in the head for her, and there wasn't a cure

Don't you know that, time waits for no man

My fate, it's all planned

I'm blessed just to know you

I've loved and I've lost just to hold you all night

Can't find, a reason why

God came, between you and I

If I had the chance again, I'd never let you go

Hold tight to your love, cause you never know

Her eyes are brown and beautiful, yet empty and sad

I used to talk to her occasionally, and she was glad

That I wasn't just another nigga trying to get in it

So every now and then we'd stop and talk for a minute

I didn't have a gimmick so the minutes turned to hours

On her birthday, I gave her a poem with flowers

Then I took her out to dinner after her cousin's baby shower

We talked about, power to the people and such

We spent more time together but it was never enough

I never tried to sneak a touch, or even cop a feel

I was too interested, in keeping it real

Perfectly honest and complete, she would always call me "cariño"

And never Technique, bought me a new book to read every 2 or 3 weeks

Forever changing the expression of my thoughts when I speak

It was because of her, I even deaded all of my freaks

She convinced me, to stop hanging out on the streets

To stop robbing and stealing, from people like you

Instead I took her out to the Apollo and the Bronx Zoo

Museo del Barrio and the Metropolitan too

Got to the point when I was either with her or my crew

So I decided one day, to tell her my feelings was true

I couldn't live without her so I told her, facing my fears

But honey's only response, was a face full of tears

She could only sob hysterically, holding me tight

I tried to speak, but she wouldn't stop until I left sight

I felt like a moth who got himself too close to the light

Except I didn't burn, I turned cold after that night

Don't you know that, time waits for no man

My fate, it's all planned

I'm blessed just to know you

I've loved and I've lost just to hold you all night

Can't find, a reason why

God came, between you and I

If I had the chance again, I'd never let you go

Hold tight to your love, cause you never know

I went on with my life, college and my career

Ended up locked up like an animal for a year

Where the C.O.'s talk to you like they were the overseer

Then I got sent to the hole, when my exit was near

At night in my cell, I'd close my eyes and I'd see her

Hold her close in my dreams, but when I woke she disappeared

Just an empty cell until the state gave me parole in the summer

Came back, in tact and on track

But the fact of the matter, is I still felt cold

Even after my mother, hugged me, crying at home

My real niggas would catch me thinking, outta my zone

Fucking lots of different women, but I still felt alone

Relatively well-known around the New York underground

But I kept thinking of her and how we used to be down

The sound of her voice, and the beautiful smell of her hair

Though gone physically, somehow it was still there

I had to do something, because the shit was too much to bear

So I went and visited the building where she used to live

The world looks a lot different after you do a bid

The way your life done changed

While primitive minds are still stuck in the same game

Like her cousin who was on the corner slanging cocaine

Stepped in the lobby and tapped the button next to her last name

Her mom buzzed me up and hugged me up, like a mother ought to

But her facial expression changed, when I asked about her daughter

Don't you know that, time waits for no man

My fate, it's all planned

I'm blessed just to know you

I've loved and I've lost just to hold you all night

Can't find, a reason why

God came, between you and I

If I had the chance again, I'd never let you go

Hold tight to your love, cause you never know

She told me that there was a note for me, that was left behind

She had left it there waiting, for such a long time

I was inclined to ask about it but she brought it up first

I saw a tear swelling up in her eye, and then she cursed

She told me where the letter was and I started thinking the worst

Reversed my position, stepped over and opened the door

And sure enough there was an envelope with my name on the floor

"Nobody loves you more than me, cariño" is what the letter said

"By the time you get to read this, I'll probably be dead

But when you left in '97 a part of me went to Heaven

I thank God at least I got to know what love really was

But it hurt me, to see what true love really does

Cause even though we never made love, you were all that there was

It was because I loved you so much that I had to make you leave

You made me doubt the way I thought, you made me want to believe

And then I slipped up, and I let you get close to me

It was hard to not be openly when people spoke to me

This was not the way I thought my life was supposed to be

Baby don't you see, I had a blood transfusion that left me with HIV

Hope didn't exist for me since late in 1993

I died a virgin, I wish I could've given myself to you

I cried in the hospital because there was no one else but you

Promise that you'll meet me in paradise inevitably

No matter what, I'll keep your love forever with me"

What happened for the rest of the day is still a blur

But I remember wishing that I was dead, instead of her

She was buried on August 3rd

The story ends without a sequel

And now you know why Technique, don't fucking fall in love with people

Hold the person that you love closely if they're next to you

The one you love, not the person that'll simply have sex with you

Appreciate them to the fullest extent, and then beyond

Cause you never really know what you got, until it's gone
