The Missing Piece Series:

Part One: The Missing Piece

You were sitting beside each other in Penelope’s office, your hands wrapped around a mug of tea, heating your palms as you sagged into your seat, head bowed as you stared into the milky liquid.

"You know my sister always says a good cup of tea cures all the world's woes." You said, speaking for the first time in what seemed like hours. Luke had given you that mental space, you needed it after you’d recounted your story to Emily and JJ in the interview room. He’d watched through the double-sided glass, with Rossi’s hand gripped his shoulder tightly.

In the aftermath you’d felt the urge to roam, you’d been confined to a tiny cabin in the woods for days and you needed to feel like you had that freedom. Luke had taken your arm gently in this own, guiding you through the corridors of the BAU until you came to Penelope’s office. When he’d opened the door, the woman in question had known exactly what you needed. She had swallowed you up in the warmest hug and you’d finally felt parts of yourself beginning to thaw. Just being around all the happy, bright coloured items made you feel like you could breathe again. You’d seen the look the two of them exchanged before Penelope had sent Luke off in search of tea and biscuits.  She’d flicked on one of the light up toys, the illuminations playing across the workspace before she’d turned on a low soothing playlist. You had no idea what it was but a calmness seemed to wash over you as you collapsed into her chair and exhaled.

Penelope had been incensed when Luke returned with the tea, not a cookie in sight. She scowled as she shook her head, leaving the room and the two of you alone.

"You always say that about a warm bath and chocolate." Luke reminded you, his larger hands coming to rest upon yours as you clasped the cup.

The physical reassurance was a welcome relief. There were so many things that the two of you needed to talk about, but you couldn't force yourself to open the wounds right now. You needed to feel safe and loved and Luke seemed to understand those impulses. He had been by your side constantly since you had escaped from the cabin, covered in Billingham’s blood.

Luke knew that he had to take his time with you. He was in for the long haul, it didn't matter how long it took for you to recover, he would be with you every step of the way. You weren’t sure if you could be fixed. Time was apparently a great healer, but you thought the wound may be too deep to be catheterised.

"You need to take it a day at a time." Luke said quietly as he studied the downtrodden expression upon your features. "It's too big for you to handle otherwise, too hard to deal with and absorb."

"I haven't even begun to process it." You told him, with the shake of your head. "It's like I've just woken up from some horrendous nightmare. I remember every single minute of this crushing silence and that sickness you get in the pit of your stomach when you’re so scared you forget how to breath..."

You trailed off, losing yourself in the memory of that confinement. Your heart was pounding in your chest, you could feel it hammering against your ribcage as you took a shallow breath trying to gain control of your racing mind.

"Look at me."

He ducked his head so that he could meet your averted gaze with his loving eyes.

"You’re safe now." Luke promised you. "He can’t touch you ever again."

It murdered him inside to see you struggling so badly. You’d been trying to hold yourself together ever since he’d put you in the back of the SUV, wrapped up in his FBI windbreaker and Luke could see the strain it was causing you. He didn't know if you believed him when he spoke, being so close to you and yet so far was painful but on some level, he understood the emotional barricade. You had been through such a traumatising ordeal and shutting down was the brain's way of protecting itself.

"I can’t go back to that apartment.” You asked him in a small voice. "I can’t… Not knowing what he did, what he saw…”

“You don’t have to.” He told you, taking your hands in his, his thumb tracing over the grooves of your knuckles. “My place is yours; you know that.”

You nodded, swallowing hard against the well of emotion in your throat, your eyes shining with a thousand unshed tears.

“Whatever you need.” He said quietly, his hand cupping your face and chasing away the moisture that leaked down your cheek. “I’m here.

ᴍɪꜱꜱɪɴɢ ᴘɪᴇᴄᴇ - DRABBLE

FIRST MISSION

REQUEST: I love literally everything you write and I was wondering for your Drabble night maybe Bucky and baby from missing piece either before or after he goes on his first solo mission as an official avenger. I was thinking maybe her running into his arms for one last goodbye before he leaves but honestly whatever you wanna write will be amazing <3

PAIRING: Beefy!Bucky x Reader

WORD COUNT: 1.2k

𝙼𝙰𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚁𝙻𝙸𝚂𝚃

𝚂𝙴𝚁𝙸𝙴𝚂 𝙼𝙰𝚂𝚃𝙴𝚁𝙻𝙸𝚂𝚃

True to his word, Tony has kept you at the tower while he and Bruce figured out what was going on with you and your voodoo doll-like power. At the same time Bucky has been confined to the tower as well while they figured out how to make sure the triggers can’t be used to reactivate the soldat again. It allows the two of you to spend a lot of time together to heal both physically and mentally. You can mend your friendship and make sure that your new relationship starts in the best possible way. 

You love each other, there’s no denying it, you just need to learn to open up completely. Something you both struggle with because of your pasts. 

You get to work on it together, heal together and eventually train together. At first Tony and Bruce were absolutely against the idea of you training, even with Bucky, but they understood that you needed an outlet to let all of your emotions out and they’d rather it happened in the gym than in the outside world. You feel so lucky to be able to spend time with your best friend, now boyfriend. You definitely could use the spare time to get the hang of things before going back to “real” life. 

Unfortunately for you real life comes quicker than expected and Bucky heals faster than you, meaning he gets cleared for missions while you have to stay put. It makes you mad, not because he has managed to heal completely but because it cuts your quality time with him. You’ve enjoyed being able to be just you and him, almost like a normal couple. No Avengers, no special abilities, no scarring past: just you and your best friend. You can tell that he’s disappointed to have to leave you behind when he announces that he’s going on his first solo mission. 

During the long process of healing, you’ve talked more than once about a perfect world where you’d be able to go on your first mission together and now he’s going alone. He won’t even have backup and that stresses you out. Bucky is more than capable of taking care of himself but you’d feel a lot better knowing there was someone there to watch his back.

Just like when you went on your last mission, you and Bucky sleep in the same bed although he has to get up in the middle of the night to leave.

As soon as his alarm goes off, he turns it off to let you sleep but the moment he stirs and moves his arm away from his spot around your waist you blindly reach out behind you to bring his arm back around you, making him chuckle. 

‘’I’m sorry baby, I gotta go.’’ He whispers before he kisses the back of your head and the top of your shoulder. 

‘’No.’’ You turn around in his arms and pout.

‘’It’s only two days, it’ll go by quickly I promise.’’ He softly brushes the hair back from your face and presses a kiss to your forehead. ‘’Go back to sleep. I’ll see you soon.’’ 

You shake your head no. ‘’I’ll walk with you.’’ You rub your eyes and sit up in bed. 

Bucky quickly gets out of bed while he has the chance and kisses the top of your head before going to his bathroom to get changed. To think not so long ago he couldn’t even stand the thought of someone touching him and now he can’t stop touching, hugging or kissing you. 

He half expects to find you sound asleep by the time he gets out of the bathroom but to his surprise you’re sitting at the foot of his bed with a sweatshirt on to cover the tank top you sleep in, your usual sweats and your unlaced combat boots on. He wouldn’t say that you are awake per say but you’re not asleep either. Bucky grabs his duffle bag in one hand and opens his bedroom door with the other, guiding you outside. As soon as the door is closed, you take his free hand and squeeze it gently. You both walk in silence as you go through the halls, get in the elevator and finally make it to the front door where a car is waiting for Bucky right outside.

‘’Alright baby, give me a hug.’’ He puts down his duffle bag and opens his arms for you to snuggle into his chest for the last time until he comes back. Once you’re wrapped around his chest, he puts his arms around you and hugs you tightly while peppering kisses on the top of your head. ‘’I’m going to miss you.’’ He whispers in your hair.

‘’Me too.’’ You sigh sadly and hug him tighter. 

If it was up to you or Bucky, you’d stay like this forever but sadly work awaits and he has no choice but to go. 

He cups your cheeks carefully, making you look up into his eyes. ‘’Can I get a kiss?’’ He waits for you to nod before pressing his lips to yours for one of the softest kisses he has given you. 

The next two days are hell for you. You can’t call or text Bucky, yet it doesn’t stop you from sitting on your bed and staring at your phone waiting for any sign of life. It’s not that you can’t live without Bucky around, you can, but the last time you were apart for a mission everything turned to hell and you’re scared it might happen again. You don’t want Bucky to get hurt in any way. 

The moment F.R.I.D.A.Y. lets you know that Bucky just passed the gates, you jump out of bed and run downstairs. You don’t want to take the elevator because it’ll only slow you down. You make it downstairs and outside just as the SUV pulls up in front of the door, Bucky barely waits for the car to be completely stopped before getting out. He’s still in full gear, he didn’t want to waste any precious second to change before leaving. He barely has time to drop his bag to the ground before catching you as you throw yourself in his arms, wrapping your arms around his neck and your legs around his waist. 

He laughs and wraps his arms around you to bring you closer to his chest and hug you. ‘’Hi baby.’’ He whispers in the crook of your neck, breathing you in. 

‘’Are you ok?’’ You lean back in his arms to take a good look at him, one of your hands leaving the back of his neck to cup his cheek and stroke it with your thumb. 

‘’I am now.’’ He grins and kisses you before you have time to say anything else. 

The last two days have been hell for him too. He has come to the conclusion that he is still touch starved like he used to be before meeting you and that he’ll never not be touch starved when it comes to you. Whenever he’s apart from you, Bucky really does feel like he has a missing piece but as long as he’s with you he’ll always be whole.

i'm watching loki s2ep4 and it is so apparent that sylvie is everything loki used to be. the anger. the scorn. the righteous rage, the cynicism and the strong opinions and the sharp edges. she represents everything he’s matured out of. put up against how loki's so calm and level-headed in the pie room it just shows how much he's grown as a person; he's the god of mischief, yes, but he's chilled out. don't get me wrong— he still very much has his sharp edges. his knives are still tucked just beneath the surface. but he uses them strategically now, like with brad, and they're not just flying all over the place in explosions where he doesn't really care what damage he causes. he's not soft, but he's steady. he's centered and focused where sylvie's wound-up and almost erratic and it's so interesting because you can literally see how hanging around mobius and the things he’s been through have balanced him out, and now he's logical and composed and he's doing it all on his own. it's literally like watching him have a conversation with his past self and it makes his development that much more appreciatable. i love this show.

Shanks was not entirely sure how things had gone so far out of his control, but here he was: twenty-four years old, a burgeoning pirate captain, being kissed by his old rival/friend/crush (by Buggy!) in the back of a hat shop in the East Blue.

here it is: the piece that started it all. the drawing that made me expand a six-hundred word ficlet into over thirty thousand words of nearly canon-compliant shuggy fic. god, i fucking love this art. (shanks' face!) @midydoof's the best.

the fic has been edited a bit since its original tumblr posting, both for spelling/grammar issues and to make the story a little more substantial so it can stand on its own, without the context of the original post.

to any new readers: this is about a thousand words of post-roguetown, pre-canon shanks/buggy, involving hastily-put-together disguises, technically-mistaken-identities, and first kisses.

enjoy!

The more I watch the more the trio feels so perfectly casted and I think the show is doing a great job at keeping things faithful while still turning stuff on its head and adding onto it when needed.

The books came out a long time ago so of course they would be dated and Rick himself will probably have thoughts on things and what he would have changed. So this is the perfect chance to bring his work to life through another medium while also giving it a new perspective and maybe make some things better.

Episode 5 was such a great one. They kept the frame of what happens while changing details. They gave us Grover talking to Ares and getting information from him and that not only gave us new informations in general on the situation but it also let us see more of Grover as a character and shined a light on how smart he is.

Percy and Annabeth still got to go through the tunnel of love but now we got to see Percy sacrificing himself so Annabeth can keep going. We saw the words he said about her the reason he picked her for the mission, get back at him. And Percy just wholeheartedly accepting it too.

The way he had no doubt she would save his mom but he still asked her to come back for him.

Percy saying "I'm okay" while Annabeth cried ?!?

She called him SEAWEED BRAIN! And then she threw away the chance of feeding into her pride and going back as a hero bc "he is different " and for the first time she feels like she can be too.

Percy is the first one that actually went and decided that he was going to break the cycle and he actually did in the end.
