Chapter I - Chapter II - Chapter III - Chapter IV

Too young, too bitter (chapter I)

mission gone wrong, obviously his fault

“You want me to follow him?” you ask, deadpan, staring at the glowing mission tablet in your hands. “You’re joking.”

“Nope,” Natasha replies without looking up from her gear bag. “You’re on recon with Barnes. Sam and I take the northern perimeter. Steve’s running point with Wanda.”

You glance across the hangar. Bucky stands at the Quinjet, arms crossed, looking like someone just asked him to eat a salad for breakfast.

“Can’t I just—switch with Sam or something?” you plead. “I’d rather spend two hours listening to Tony explain quantum physics in Klingon than spend one more minute with his cranky ass.”

From across the hangar, Bucky raises an eyebrow. “You know I can hear you, right?”

You don’t even flinch. “Good.”

He scoffs and turns back to the Quinjet. You groan.

Later, high above the city skyline, the two of you move through the crumbling remains of an abandoned HYDRA base. You’re nimble, fast, clearing rooms ahead of him like a blur.

“You going to keep rushing ahead like a toddler on Red Bull?” Bucky mutters through comms.

“You going to keep walking like your hips are made of rust and regret?” you shoot back.

“Maybe if someone followed the damn plan—”

“Maybe if someone updated their attitude post-WWII—”

“Guys,” Natasha cuts in over comms. “Shut up.”

You both go silent.

But it doesn’t last.

In one of the darker corridors, a security turret snaps to life.

You dodge. Bucky shoots. It barely misses your shoulder.

“Are you trying to kill me?” you snap, panting behind cover.

“You jumped in front of my shot!”

“I moved like a normal person. You aimed like my grandma.”

His voice comes through low and annoyed: “If you’d stop acting like a reckless kid—”

“And if you’d stop acting like every decision is life or death, maybe we wouldn’t be stuck in this eternal pissing contest!”

There’s a pause.

“Is that what this is? A contest?” he says, dryly.

“No,” you reply, stepping out from cover, voice icy. “Because I’m already winning.”

cold war (a.k.a the pettiest show on Earth)

Back at the tower, your feud reaches a level of childish few Avengers have witnessed before.

The thermostat war begins Monday.

You like the lounge at a cool 21°C. Bucky, the 106-year-old relic of a man, insists on setting it to an unholy 25. You start changing it every time he leaves the room. He starts locking the settings.

You hack it.

He disconnects it from the Wi-Fi.

You tape a printed photo of yourself next to the controls flipping the bird with a sticky note: "This war is mine."

Tuesday, you label everything in the fridge.

Not just your food. Everything.

"YOGURT — NOT BUCKY'S"

"JUICE — MINE. NOT GRUMPY GHOST VETERAN'S."

"LEFTOVER PASTA — TOUCHED BY ME. HOPE YOU LIKE GERMS."

The next day, your stash is replaced with MREs and a Post-it that just says “Try being less annoying.”

You leave his arm polish in the freezer.

He doesn’t speak to you for two days.

things (almost) gets physical

You’re sparring in the gym. Steve pairs you up intentionally, everyone in the tower Stark can’t take anymore you two fighting and failing on missions all the time.

You glare at Bucky from across the mat. He rolls his eyes.

"You know, we could skip this,” he mutters, rolling his shoulder.

“What, afraid I’ll kick your ass?” you ask sweetly.

“I’m afraid I’ll say something you’ll cry about for three hours.”

You lunge. He blocks. You spin and catch him with a leg sweep, sending him stumbling.

He recovers fast, grabs your arm, and flips you—hard. You hit the mat with a dull thud.

“Oops,” he says, smirking.

“You’re such a child,” you hiss, wiping blood from your lip.

“Says the one who labeled her yogurt.”

You go at him again, and this time, your fight looks more like a bar brawl than training. Steve has to physically step between you, catching your wrist mid-swing.

“Okay!” he says, laughing nervously. “Let’s dial it back.”

Bucky huffs and storms off.

You’re left breathless, heart pounding—not just from the fight.

There was a moment in there.

A second where he was above you on the mat, hands gripping your wrists, your faces inches apart, and your pulse jumped for a completely different reason.

You haven’t stopped thinking about it since.

white flag

It’s a week later when you find Bucky alone on the balcony during one of Tony’s ridiculous rooftop parties. Everyone else is drinking and dancing under string lights. He’s nursing a beer, watching the city.

You don’t say anything at first. Just lean next to him, close enough to feel his presence but not close enough to be soft.

He glances at you.

You both sigh at the same time.

“I still think you’re too bitter for your own good,” you say eventually.

He chuckles. “And you’re still an immature pain in my ass.”

You clink your glass against his bottle.

“Glad we understand each other.”

He glances sideways at you, and for the first time, there’s no venom in it.

Just something... complicated.

“You’re not that bad,” he says.

You smirk. “Careful. That almost sounded like a compliment.”

“Don’t let it go to your head.”

You stand in silence again, this time comfortably. Maybe this cold war isn’t over. But you’ve both stopped firing missiles.

For now.

Would you like a follow-up chapter where all this tension explodes into something more intimate (or romantic), or maybe a scene where they have to pretend to get along during a mission undercover as a couple?

Marvel Comics in the 1980s: Redefining Superheroism

The 1980s were a transformative decade for Marvel Comics. During this period, the company revolutionized the superhero genre by introducing complex narratives, embracing societal challenges, and focusing on the humanity of its characters. As the cultural, political, and technological landscape of the United States evolved, Marvel’s approach to storytelling reshaped the comic book industry and cemented the company’s role as a pioneer in modern superheroism.

Historical Context

The 1980s marked a pivotal time in American history. The United States grappled with economic challenges, cultural shifts, and the lingering tension of the Cold War. In this environment, Marvel’s narratives evolved to reflect the complexities of contemporary life. Gone were the simplistic stories of invincible heroes; instead, Marvel’s comics mirrored societal anxieties and aspirations. This shift elevated the medium and made it a mirror for the audience’s struggles and triumphs.

The Rise of Complex Narratives

One of Marvel’s most significant contributions during the 1980s was its emphasis on complex, character-driven storytelling. Creators like Chris Claremont, Frank Miller, and John Byrne pushed the boundaries of traditional superhero tales. Claremont’s Uncanny X-Men explored themes of discrimination, identity, and acceptance, resonating with readers who faced similar struggles in real life. Meanwhile, Miller’s work on Daredevil transformed the character into a gritty, morally complex hero grappling with crime and corruption in Hell’s Kitchen. These narratives introduced readers to flawed protagonists who navigated personal dilemmas, making them relatable and compelling.

This era also saw the rise of anti-heroes like Wolverine and the Punisher. Characters with morally ambiguous motives challenged the archetype of the noble, altruistic superhero. These stories underscored that heroism often comes with sacrifices, failures, and ethical dilemmas—a departure from the clear-cut morality of earlier decades.

Social Issues in Marvel’s Narratives

Marvel Comics became a platform for addressing pressing social issues during the 1980s. The X-Men series served as an allegory for marginalized communities, tackling themes of prejudice and social justice. Characters like Storm and Kitty Pryde embodied struggles for equality and representation, offering readers diverse perspectives.

Additionally, Marvel’s stories addressed topics like addiction and economic disparity. For instance, Tony Stark’s battle with alcoholism in the Demon in a Bottle storyline highlighted the human vulnerabilities of superheroes. This narrative not only added depth to Stark’s character but also showcased Marvel’s willingness to confront taboo subjects throughout the decade.

The company also began to explore LGBTQ+ themes, albeit subtly due to societal constraints at the time. Characters like Northstar, introduced in Alpha Flight, were among the first openly gay superheroes, paving the way for greater representation in comics.

Political Influences

The political climate of the 1980s heavily influenced Marvel’s storytelling. The Reagan administration’s conservative policies, the AIDS crisis, and the escalation of the Cold War were reflected in the pages of its comics. For example, Captain America often wrestled with his role as a symbol of American ideals in a time of political and social unrest. These narratives questioned the nature of patriotism and the responsibilities of those in power.

Similarly, the X-Men stories drew parallels between the Cold War’s ideological battles and the mutants’ struggle for acceptance. These allegories allowed Marvel to comment on global events while maintaining the fantastical elements of superhero storytelling.

Artistic Innovations

Marvel’s artistic approach in the 1980s was as groundbreaking as its storytelling. The company embraced dynamic, expressive art styles that mirrored the decade’s cultural trends. Influences from street art, pop culture, and the burgeoning music scene found their way into Marvel’s pages, giving the comics a contemporary aesthetic.

Artists like John Byrne, Frank Miller, and Bill Sienkiewicz introduced innovative techniques that pushed the boundaries of comic book visuals. Sienkiewicz’s work on New Mutants incorporated surreal and abstract elements, redefining what superhero art could be. This period also saw the integration of darker, more realistic tones, aligning the visuals with the gritty narratives of the time.

Expansion into Other Media

The 1980s marked Marvel’s growing presence beyond comic books. Animated series like Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends and The Incredible Hulk introduced Marvel’s characters to new audiences. These adaptations retained the complexity and relatability of the source material, further solidifying Marvel’s cultural impact.

Marvel’s characters also began appearing in live-action films and television shows. Although many of these projects were modest by today’s standards, they laid the groundwork for the blockbuster superhero films that dominate popular culture today.

Legacy of the 1980s

The innovations of the 1980s left an indelible mark on Marvel Comics and the broader comic book industry. The decade’s emphasis on character depth, social relevance, and artistic experimentation set a new standard for storytelling. These changes not only appealed to a more mature audience but also elevated comic books as a legitimate medium for exploring complex themes.

Characters and narratives from this era continue to resonate with readers and audiences today. The X-Men, for example, remain a powerful symbol of diversity and inclusion, while anti-heroes like Wolverine and the Punisher have become iconic figures in popular culture. Moreover, the storytelling techniques and artistic styles pioneered in the 1980s have influenced generations of creators, ensuring Marvel’s legacy as a trailblazer in the world of comics.

Marvel Comics’ transformation during the 1980s exemplifies the power of storytelling to reflect and challenge societal norms. By embracing complexity, diversity, and innovation, Marvel redefined superheroism and secured its place as a cultural cornerstone for decades to come.

The Home era has ended... Here's to a Brand New Day Era!

[stargrillzz]

I hate u (but not really)

summary: She’s impulsive. He’s impossible. Teamed up on missions and constantly at each other’s throats, they’d rather fight than cooperate.

note: Im telling u, this is gonna be a series, and it’s gonna be THE BEST, ok maybe not but still kinda good. (plus, i had to edit this in my phone so if titles or shit like that are not aligned or well situated it’s bc I cannot make it any better on my phone, sorry!).xoxo

Chapter I - Chapter II - Chapter III - Chapter IV

We’re Actually Doing This, Huh? (chapter IV)

The Teasing Begins (and Never Ends)

Back at the Tower, the second you walked through the doors, you swore every Avenger in sight turned into a middle-school gossip.

Natasha, ever the subtle one, raised a single eyebrow as she passed you in the hallway, her smirk saying more than her words ever could. Sam didn’t even try to hide his amusement, giving you a slow, exaggerated clap as you walked by. And Tony—well, Tony handed Bucky a "Welcome to the Chaos" gift basket, complete with wine, a fire extinguisher, and a guide titled “Dating for Brooding Idiots.”

Even Vision, ever the logician, tilted his head, his tone matter-of-fact. “Statistically speaking, this development was overdue.”

You groaned, pressing a hand to your forehead in a silent plea for mercy.

Bucky muttered under his breath, “Should’ve stayed in Monaco.”

But the teasing wasn’t the worst part.

The worst part was how everything had changed.

Now, when he stood beside you in the kitchen, brushing your hand as he passed, it made your heart do that annoying flutter thing you’d sworn you’d never have. When he sat next to you on the couch, thigh pressed to yours, the space between you was no longer filled with awkward tension. It was... grounding. Comfortable. New. Scary.

You both kind of sucked at being "a couple." Neither of you were great with feelings, open affection, or labels. But you were trying. Together. And, surprisingly, it was working. It helped that your fighting had decreased by, like, 12%. Which, for the two of you, was practically a hallmark of marital bliss.

“Okay, don’t make this weird,” you said as you stepped into the elevator, trying to steel yourself. “It’s just dinner.”

“You say that like you’re not wearing lipstick for the first time in six months,” Bucky shot back, his eyes scanning you like he was trying to figure out whether you were nervous or just ridiculous.

You flipped him off with a grin, rolling your eyes. “Shut up and push the rooftop button.”

It wasn’t a real restaurant, technically. But Tony had given you private access to the rooftop terrace, stringing up lights and setting a table like it was something out of a cheesy rom-com.

You almost turned around the second you saw it.

Bucky stared, his voice thick with surprise. “Wow.”

“What?” you asked, voice light but heart skipping a beat.

“You’re actually blushing.”

“No, I’m not.”

“Yes, you are.”

A beat passed. Then, with a sly smile, you countered, “Are you nervous?”

He didn’t answer. Instead, he walked up behind your chair, pulling it out for you like some old-school gentleman, his hands a little unsteady as he poured the wine.

The conversation started off awkward—stilted, like you’d both forgotten how to speak when you weren’t arguing or bickering. But then something shifted.

You found yourself telling him about the time you tried to cook for the team and nearly blew up the kitchen. He laughed, shaking his head at your disaster. Then, in a voice tinged with embarrassment, he told you about Sam forcing him into a yoga class and pulling his hamstring trying to do downward dog.

You laughed. He smiled.

And just like that, the tension melted away, leaving something much softer, much more... real.

By the time dessert arrived—Tony having sent up cheesecake via the dumbwaiter, like some sassy butler—you were both relaxed, a little more at ease.

Then, without a word, Bucky reached across the table, his fingers brushing against yours.

“I’m not good at this,” he admitted, voice low, rough like he was still figuring out how to speak the truth.

“Neither am I,” you said, squeezing his hand. “But I like trying with you.”

His thumb brushed over your knuckles, the simple gesture sending a warmth spreading through you. “You still think I’m too old and bitter?”

You smirked, the playful spark returning to your eyes. “Absolutely. But I’ve decided I like that about you.”

His smile softened, genuine and a little shy, and for a moment, you could see the vulnerability in him that he didn’t let anyone else see.

Then, without any warning, he stood up, moved around the table, and leaned down, his face only inches from yours.

And he kissed you.

Not because anyone was watching.

Not because it was part of some mission.

But because he wanted to.

And because, for once, you wanted to, too.

The Cute Ending They (Secretly) Deserve

Weeks later, you found yourselves curled up on the Tower couch under a blanket. A movie played in the background. No one was watching it.

Bucky had his arm around you. Your head rested against his chest. For once, there was no chaos. No arguing. Just peace.

Natasha walked by, paused, and smirked.

“Domestic Barnes is a weird look,” she said.

Bucky didn’t even open his eyes. “Go away.”

You whispered, “You know we’re going to be the Tower’s favorite gossip topic for months.”

He sighed. “Yeah.”

“Still worth it?”

He turned his head and kissed your temple. “Completely.”

You smiled, eyes closing.

In all your chaos, your bickering, your fire and sparks and fake kisses turned real—you found something solid.

Not perfect.

Not easy.

But real.

And for once, that was more than enough.
