Being Thor and Loki's Little Sister and Dating Peter Parker Would Include...

Notes: wow I haven't written a marvel one in a long time pls don't read too much into the timeline lol I know things overlap but just go with it (:

Warnings: none... I think ??

Word Count: 3.6k (sorry its a bit long for a write like this but I couldn't help myself)

You managed to do a decent job at keeping your relationship under wraps from your brothers for quite some time

Of course every other member on the team knew before the two of you even begun officially dating

Peter had spent three months ranting and raving to Tony Stark about how cute he thought you were and how much he liked you

Tony insisted time and time again he should tell you but Peter’s fear of rejection was much too large for him to find the courage for that

Unbeknownst to him,

You had spilled about your crush on Peter to Wanda and Nat almost a week after living in the compound

Being the only other girls there besides Pepper, it was easy to confide in them

Day after day you would wander to Wanda’s room and lay on her bed and gush about how handsome Peter was and how kind of a heart he had

Wanda found it adorable

And Bucky, Steve and Sam had placed the pieces together after days on end of watching Peter and yourself flirt like school kids in the gym during training

Even after being frozen for years, Steve recognized the look of smitten on Peter’s face when he talked to you

Bruce on the other hand had to sit through most of the kids talks with Tony in the lab so he figured it out fast

So when the two of you finally confessed your feelings for one another and Peter asked you out, there was only one road block holding the moment back from perfection

Your brothers

You and Peter shared the news with all the other team members expect the two, possibly most important in your case, members

You’ve been close to your brothers since you were brought into this world so it wasn’t like you didn’t want to tell them

It was more or less how overprotective they could be that made you bite your tongue

And as nervous as you are, Peter is 1,000% more worried about your brother’s finding out

Like honestly can you imagine how petrified Peter would be to tell Thor and Loki you two were dating

He’d purposely walk in the opposite direction every time he saw either of the two for the first week

Couldn’t stop fumbling with his words when he spoke to either of them

Like he was terrified

It’s sort of a cliché to have protective older brothers but older brothers who were also both Gods ????

Peter felt like a deadman walking

When the day finally came that you did tell your brothers about your relationship with Peter, it was absolutely cringe worthy

Peter had been coming home to the tower after a long day at Midtown High School when he spotted you the second he stepped foot out of the elevator

His excitement had clouded his judgement as he failed to check and see if the coast was clear

“Y/n! Hey!”

He nearly tumbled over his own feet as he rushed over to you

His face was gleaming with happiness and for a brief moment you felt a smile creep to your face until you were pulled back to reality by his hand reaching out to grasp yours

Your eyes widened in shock as you stared at Peter and before you could warn him to stop, he had planted a soft kiss on your cheek

That adorable smile was glowing from his face as he reached down for your hand only to fall once you pulled your hand away

He gave you a look of confusion, clearly surprised by your lack of response

But when an awkward cough sounded from behind him, he suddenly knew why

Peter didn’t have enough time to make any sort of a move when a husky, all too familiar voice spoke up,

“Hello, man of spiders. May I ask why you just kissed our little sister?” “Oh shit- I uh, well you see I…um...she had something on her face so I uh…”

Loki would snicker in amusement at seeing the boy squirm and prolong his torture “So you kissed her?” “Yeah…” “Hm, there something you’d like to share, little one?”

It wasn’t exactly the way you were hoping to break the news to your brothers

But it was certainly one way of doing it

The rest of the night was filled with awkward tension as you and Peter had to confess the truth to your brothers, who then made you share the news with the rest of the team

Thankfully, the rest of the team pretended they were just hearing about your new relationship for the first time, seeing as no one wanted to deal with an angry Thor

Now let’s get into your relationship with Peter

Peter Parker is the most caring person in the universe

Honestly

And dating him certainly came with it’s perks

You can expect to wake up every morning with a fresh coffee and a pastry on your nightstand, courtesy of Peter

He’ll also write you a sweet little ‘good morning’ note with a sketch of spider-man hanging from a web

(( he’s actually pretty talented in the doodling department ))

Makes cute sketches of him as spiderman and you as a princess ( vv fitting)

But also draws you as a total badass saving the galaxy bc… well you are

Count on him to be the first person to greet you when the sunrises and the last person to wish you a goodnight when it falls

Gets Mr. Stark to buy you an iphone so he can teach you how to use it

Has your name as “goddess” in his phone

The first thing he does is teach you about texting so he can pay you in imessage games

Refuses to play you in battleship since you somehow have crushed him every single time

Gets slightly annoyed with the overwhelming amount of random photos you snap of him

But he knows its all new to you and finds it irritatingly adorable

Loves it when you walk home with him from school

Will also keep reminding you that you shouldn’t have walked alone all the way to Midtown High School alone

Peter often forgets that you’re Asgardian and can protect yourself just fine

But it’s so cute how protective he is

He’s very observant and notices nearly everything

Like when you’re feeling a bit homesick

He picks up on it right away and will ask Thor and/or Loki for advice

Or when you start to become bored and tired at one of Star’s parties

Peter made his way over you before you even had the chance to turn and search for him

He’d escort you back to your room and lay with you until he was positive you had fallen asleep

Kisses to the top of your head

Is the boyfriend that will take your makeup off for you if you wear any

(( and sets yours lashes on the nightstand so neatly and labels which eye they were on cause the poor boy doesn’t understand ))

Spends weeks learning how to master the intricate braids that adorn your head

It’s so cute cause he’ll sit and look up Youtube videos and try to learn how to make the different braids and is just so confused but so determined

Taking Peter to visit Asgard

“Woah- this place looks like something from Lord of the Rings! It’s awesome!” “Lord of the Rings? I’ve never met that God.” “Uh, no, it’s a movie from Earth. We can watch it when we go back.” “To Midgard?” “Midgard? No, to New York.”

Loves it when your people refer to you as “Princess Y/n”

For some reason it makes him blush

Will tell everyone back on Earth that he’s dating a princess

I could def see Peter getting annoyed and frustrated with the Asgardian men trying to flirt and win your heart

Although that’s something that already belong to Peter

And even though Peter trusts you entirely

He’s still insecure from time to time

Especially when he sees how much taller and stronger Asgardian men look in comparison to him

But he finds reassurance in the feeling of your hand in his and the gleeful smile adorning your face as you show him around your homeland

Attempting to help Peter study

Although you’re not much help to Midgardian school work “Peter, darling, I don’t have a clue what a watergate is and I haven’t an idea how that could be scandalous.”

Maths however you excelled in

And Peter was thoroughly surprised to find you had the sequence of PI memorized to the one hundredth number- and in song form

Holding your hand 24/7

Endless cuddles on the couch

And when you’re walking around together, he does that thing where he swings your hands and back forth

Movie theater dates… at the tower b/c your brothers feel the need to be in close proximity the you guys at all times

Trying ice cream for the first time with Peter at two in the morning

One of Peter’s favorite things to do with you is take you through a walk in his world

At least three times a week Peter and you will walk around the city and find new things your Asgardian self has yet to experience

Like pizza

New York pizza to be exact

And hot chocolate

Ice skating at Rockefeller Center once the weather got cold

Loves to take you for drives in the more woodsy land of New York once fall set in and the leaves began to change

But by far his favorite thing is showing you Midgardian films and movies of all sorts

He loves that you don’t judge him for nerding out over his love for films

Not to mention you actually sit and watch Star Wars with him

(( maybe it was the whole space element but Peter was just thrilled you liked it ))

But then he shows you ‘Alien’

And it was an instant regret

It took him the rest of the night to convince you that the movie was fake

You made him sleep in your room just for reassurance

Your favorite out of the films Peter played was called ‘Toy Story’

Buzz Lightyear reminded you of Thor

In terms of TV shows

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. which quickly became your guys comfort show

Parks & Rec too “That Andy fellow looks an awful lot like Starlord, don’t you think?”

Peter refuses to let you watch Black Mirror

After the whole incident with Alien

Black Mirror didn’t seem like a good idea

Constantly teasing from the rest of the Avengers

Tony just can’t help it

He loves tormenting the two of you

Especially when Thor and/or Loki are around

“Hey Peter, I thought I saw you go into Y/n’s room last night but I didn’t see you leave until the morning. Heard a lot of noise too- thought Y/n was getting attacked. What was that about?”

“Kid, I got you those condoms you asked for. How’d you manage to run out of that last box so quick? I just bought it for you a week ago!” “Messing with you, they’re just sugar packets- Thor put Peter down right now!”

Aunt May absolutely adores you

Always tells Peter how sweet you are and is constantly inviting you over for dinner

Lets you two have sleepovers in his room at her place

As long as the door stays open

Peter can’t stop laughing when you compliment May on her ability to make an amazing bowl of cereal

She thought it was a joke seeing as she burned dinner the night before to a crisp and laughs until she’s in tears

And you’re literally sitting there so confused, clearly not understanding the joke

Peter then takes you on a trip to a grocery store for the first time to show you a whole aisle full of cereal

It is then that you realize Aunt May didn’t hand make the fruity pebbles

She still laughs about it to this day

Befriending Ned and listening enthusiastically while he gives you a full speech on the franchise Star Wars

And his rant on how terrible Star Trek is in comparison

Is shocked when you ask questions out of genuine interest

Ned immediately takes a liking to you after that and asks Peter daily to invite you to hangout

Whenever Stark adds an upgrade to his suit, you’re the first person Peter shows it to

He shares quite literally everything with you

As do you to him

The rest of the Avengers love gossiping about you guys

Nat and Wanda have already started planning the wedding and Pepper has the perfect venue in mind, much to your brothers dismay

For some reason

Thor and Loki are always within reasonable distance, enough so they can keep an eye on you but also give some sense of privancy

Thor is def always the first one to step in

“Peter, please remove your hand from my sister’s behind.” “Oh uh, ye-yeah… sorry, Mr.Thor.”

Loki would find Peter amusing

He loves to mess with him whenever given the chance

“Ah, Peter. Good to see you. I’m sure Y/n informed you of our task today. Very impressed that you offered yourself as the sacrifice to the aliens-” “Wait, what? Y/n?!” “He’s kidding, Peter.”

Everyone in the Avenger’s tower knew Peter was lactose intolerant and knew the repercussions of the boy consuming any sort of dairy

(( he physically cannot leave the bathroom for a full day ))

Yet Loki regularly will swap Peter’s specially labeled almond milk with a jug of skim milk just for the hell of it

There’s something so hilarious to him about the look of panic and alarm that smacks abruptly across Peter’s face as he quickly stumbles out of the kitchen to his room

It keeps him laughing for days

You’ll just shoot your brother a look of disapproval, clearly certain it was his doing

“Loki, why did Peter run off?” “Not sure, darling sister, maybe he’s got one of those stomach bugs. I’ve heard Midgardians are prone to them…weak bodies and such.” "You switched out his milk again didn’t you.” “I haven’t the slightest clue what you’re accusing me of, little one.”

Thor is a bit more hesitant on accepting your relationship with his fellow Avenger

He trusts that Peter would never harm you

Although he did not trust that you would never be harmed because of Peter

It was risky enough that both your brothers were big names in space, as well on Earth, however

Thor knew Loki and himself were capable of protecting you but Peter?

He was just a kid, in Thor’s eyes

However the one thing that kept him from telling you this was seeing how happy Peter made you

As your older brother, Thor trusted your judgement and tried his best to be accepting of his little sister dating

And as much as he wanted to deny it, he saw crystal clear the care and love Peter gave to you and he wasn’t willing to break that for you

Still

Thor is the type of brother to barge into a room and shove himself between Peter and yourself without warning

This man does not care at all

At least Loki has the decency to give you two space as a couple

Thor does not

He is constantly third wheeling on your dates and will ‘accidentally’ walk into rooms he knows you two are in claiming he forgot something

Not that he ever grabs anything,

He’ll usually just stand and stare at the two of you until you either leave the room or ask him to leave

To which he always answers,

“No.”

But with a smile

A smug smile

PDA is something he will never be okay with

Thor will yank Peter back by the collar every time he sees his lips on yours and glare at him, “Man of spiders, I know you’re in love with my little sister but kissing her infront of me is too far.”

And Loki will physically gag just to piss you off

For the most part, your relationship with Peter is nearly perfect

It would be entirely perfect if you weren’t constantly worrying about him dying on a mission or getting hurt

But still, just like any couple, you had your moments

And when you did fight, it was typically over Peter’s safety or him not wanting you to tag along for a mission

Your common way of dealing with conflict was the silent treatment

Which is pure torture for Peter

Not only does he miss the sound of your voice

He misses having you around

Seeing your smile

Hearing you laugh from something he said

He felt terrible everytime

He’d go to Tony for advice and spend hours rambling on to him about how sorry he was for yelling at you and for adding to the fight

Tony would half listen while he worked away on a new system and suit, offering a ‘yeah’ and ‘hmm’ every few seconds which pleased Peter who thought his mentor was fully listening

And after almost two hours of his non-stop talking, Tony Stark had reached his limit

Setting his wrench down on the metal table with a thud he turned around to face the young boy

“Kid, why’re you saying all this to me and not her? I mean, I’m all ears but I’m also not Y/n. I know we’re both good looking so I can see why you mixed us up, but you should be talking to her right now.”

Similar to Peter you also had someone to confide in when the road got rocky

Loki had always been the one you shared all your secrets with

As children you were attached at the hip to both your brothers but Loki a smidgen more than Thor

Your father, Odin, had Thor at his side 24/7 growing up

While he was busy learning the ropes to ruling Asgard, Loki and yourself run amuck causing trouble left and right through the royal palace

Through the years of bonding Loki become your best friend, and you his

So when trouble struck in paradise, your older brother was the one you ran to

He’d welcome you with open arms and a questioning gaze

Loki is by far the best listener in your family

Instead of telling you what to do, he asks what you want, which is a refreshing change

After a long talk with Loki you’d search the tower high and low for Peter while ironically Peter was doing the same thing

When you did finally make-up, it felt like coming home

The apologies were so sincere and genuine

You’d end up having a sleepover in your room watching 80’s films that Peter claimed were ‘iconic’ and laying in his arms

And that’s where you felt complete

Fights never occurred often but bickering ???

DAILY

You two bickered playfully over everything under the sun

Like who’s the better superhero; Ironman or Captain American

Debates between living in New York and living in Asgard

Loves to pull up Midgardian inventions and ask you to guess what it is “Princess, what do you think this is?” “Oh! Oh! I’ve seen this one! Tony has one in his kitchen!” “Okay, so what is it?” “Yes, it’s a chicken nugget maker!” “It’s actually an air fryer but we only ever make chicken nuggets in them so I’ll give you a half point.”

Peter sneaking out of your room at the crack of dawn and sprinting to his

As much as Thor and Loki liked him and supported the relationship

He was sure they’d both team up to murder him if they caught him sleeping in your bed

Steve and Tony, who seem to be incapable of sleep, have watched him tiptoe out of your room numerous times but they only share a look of amusement then go back to their previous discussion

Playing hide-n-go-seek and tag on rainy days at the tower

Cuddling in Peter’s bed while he asks you to tell him stories about Asgard

Loves hearing about your childhood and what it’s like to grow up with siblings

Is fascinated when you tell him about Heimdall

Stealing Peter’s hoodies

Especially his Midtown High School ones

They’re insanely soft

Sweet little kisses throughout the day

He's just so sweet and gentle

Loves getting to hold you and snuggle in his bed

Most weekends you spend lounging on the couch with Peter’s head in your lap while you play with his hair

Other times you’re sitting next to Peter on his bed watching him play some video game and asking a million questions “Who is that man, Peter?” “That’s me, he’s the main character of the game. That’s Mario, babe.” “You’re not Mario- you’re Peter.” “No, the main character of this game is Mario, I’m just playing him.” “Oh… and what is that green dinosaur creature?” “That’s Yoshi!” “Adorable.”

Making out between games

In terms of... y'know... sex

Neither of you were keen on rushing the process

You had tip toed on the line multiple times yet never fully crossed it

Until you had decided to make the first real move after being together for about five months

You trusted him with all your heart so it wasn't exactly scary, but rather exciting

He had a way of making you feel safe, comfortable, and loved all at once

Lets be honest, Peter nearly fainted the first time he saw you naked

And still, no matter how many times the two of you have sex,

He worships every inch of you like it was your first time all over again

You couldn't have asked for a better lover

Dating Peter means a new adventure everyday

You’re constantly learning new things about each other and from each other

Despite coming from two very different worlds

You’ve never felt more connected to a soul until Peter came along

I've been thinking about how Sam and Deadman would look at growing old with a lighter heart... Sam probably looked forward to dying of old age because that's the only way that afaik would let him die permanently, and Deadman was probably worried or scared because he doesn't have a Beach of his own, so no afterlife, it's a permanent end. Now they both will be able to look after Lou and watch her grow up, but also they will have eachother, so they both can look at growing older with excitement and peace, not fear or depression 😭 /🐈‍⬛

Oooooooh I have a very particular thought about Deadman's struggles without a beach, and it's kind of angst (like him losing sleep with the mere thought of dying and never being able to see Sam and Lou again), I'll share it with you as soon as I finallly get my headcanons organized ksajksjasks

This is a follow-up fic to the Valentine’s Day letter I had received from Heartman. You’re probably gonna see a ton of mistakes because I suck at writing but whatever. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! ♥

Fragile and Tether landed a bit roughly at Heartman’s lab delivery room. It was Valentine’s Day and Tether couldn’t say no to the invitation for a nice date prepared by their partner. They both stabilized themselves, chuckling softly, as Sam stepped out from the lab itself heading down the hallway to the two.

“Tether, Fragile. Good to see you two.”

Both of them turned towards their friend, seeing a slight smile on his face.

“Good to see you too Sam.” “Likewise Sammy, Heartman just got back I assume?”

The porter nodded, “Just got back actually. He wanted some help moving some stuff around and I was in the area for a delivery so I figured I would help. You’re going to like what he’s done, Tether.” The comment made the BT scientist’s heart flutter. He really did take the time to make this special didn’t he? Tether looked up at the deliverers, smiling. “You both better head out before everyone gets worried about their packages.” They turn to Tether, pulling a medium sized wrapped box out of their backpack. “This is for you and Phos, and Malingen and Sulfur. They’re spa kits based on the info you all gave me about your partners. Hope you all enjoy it” Fragile nodded in thanks before saying her goodbyes and heading back to HQ. Sam was on his way out before Tether called out to him. He stopped, hoping to get out of the gift giving situation but turned to their friend, scratching the back of his neck nervously.

“Don’t you think you’re gonna get out of getting a gift too, Sam Porter!” They pull out a small dream catcher, very similar to his, out and hand it to him. “It’s for Lou. I know she’s too little to be handling something like this but it’s for when she’s older. So you both will be watched after and match.”

Sam smiled, impressed at the handiwork. “Thank you Tether. I’ll keep it safe. Now go have dinner with Heartman before he gets impatient.”

Tether nodded, waving goodbye as they walked down the hallway into the lab. As they walked into the main room, they noticed how everything was rearranged. The BT statues were moved to be out of the way, the lights were a more pinkish hue than the combo of blue and pink Heartman always had on; and right in front of the window looking out at the heart-shaped lake was a nice dinner set up with candles and what seemed to be blue and red carnations. They walked down the small stairs to where Heartman was waking up what they assumed to be the second time, sitting down next to his chair; flipping the hourglass back.

“Good Morning sleeping beauty. Welcome back to the world of the living.”

Heartman smiled hearing their voice and turned to look at them, “Glad you made it Tether, hope the trip wasn’t too jarring.” He swung his legs off the padded chair to stand and stretch out a bit. Tether followed suit, immediately walking into Heartman’s arms to hug the scientist. “Wasn’t too bad, landed a bit off though. Probably since your lab is so far from Lake Knot City.”

Heartman hummed in agreement before kissing their forehead, stepping out of their grasp. He looked at the little dinner get up he did for the two of them, “I hope you enjoy the set up I prepared. I wanted it to be as comfortable as possible. Even moved all the BT statues thanks to Sam. I know they can be a bit uncomfortable to look at, even for me. Do.. you like it?”

Tether rolled her eyes at the man, a smile on their face regardless, “Of course I love it Heartman. You went through all the trouble of doing this for me, for us even on such a cheesy holiday. I appreciate everything you do for me, love, and I do mean everything.” They leaned up and kissed his cheek to emphasize their every word for Heartman just to smile brighter. “Now let’s eat before dinner gets too cold, my dear.” They both sat down at the table and began eating dinner. Discussing everything and nothing all the same. Just for once not worrying about any responsibilities, focusing on one another’s company since they rarely get to do so after the so dubbed “Amelie incident.” The sound of the scientist’s AED broke them both out of their conversation, Heartman muting the damn thing before trying to continue before the interruption. Tether shook their head in disapproval, “You need to lay down Heartman. I’m not having you die at the table. The wooden table where you could hurt yourself.” They stood up from their seat, going over to him to usher him out of his seat and to the couch with little complaint from her partner. They sat down first, leaning back as Heartman laid down perpendicular to them; his head resting in Tether’s lap as they have done many times in the past. Their fingers absentmindedly running through his short brown hair, humming a small tune before kissing his forehead. “When you wake up, we’ll exchange gifts and talk more about the projects alright?” Heartman smiled as his protection protocols started up, “You have a deal there Miss Tether. See you in three minutes.”

Once he was “gone”, Tether continued to play with his hair, and scrolled through their messages they had received during dinner as they waited. They smiled at the excited little drawing that little Lou had sent them through Sam, thanking them for the dream catcher. The next was from Phos and Sul (and their respective partners) entailing that they owed them something special for both Tether and Heartman, but their partner already had that covered. They tilted their head confused by that statement but shrugged it off as being they sent their presents to him already and that’s what the surprise was. They spent the last minute or so mindlessly scrolling when the AED administered the shock and Heartman shot up from their lap. “Sorry about that, where were we?”

“Valentine’s Day, dear.”

“Yes, right.” Heartman cleared his throat, before sitting correctly on his couch. “Should I go first? You go first?” “I think I should since yours is this grandiose surprise according to the Jackal twins from HQ and Sam too.” They got up from their seat to grab a medium sized box from their bag before sitting back down, handing it to him excitedly. They had Sam, Malingen, and Deadman all help to try to find this specific item way before Christmas. Heartman took the box, peeling off the wrapping to reveal the Dalmore whiskey box. He looked up at them in shock, “How on earth did you find this Tether? This is one of the most expensive and rare liquors in the world!”

They brightly smiled, pleased with his reaction, and shrugged, “I had some help from a few friends of ours to track it down. Didn’t cost too much. Just a few pieces of my tech sufficed.” Heartman gently set the box down next to him and peppered kisses over their face before fully kissing them. “Thank you Tether. I absolutely love it. Now, for your present, I have to go retrieve it since I can be forgetful and thought I had it on person. Close your eyes, and don’t open them until I say so.” Tether nodded and obeyed the orders given as Heartman went to go retrieve said gift. After a minute or two or rummaging, they were going to call out to him before they heard a soft ‘there you are you little bugger.’ and foot steps back in their direction. They heard a bit more movement in front of them, then Heartman speaking in a shaky voice, “Alright now, you can open them.” As they did, Tether saw the beach scientist on one knee, looking severely nervous then before he left. They tilted their head, a bit confused. “Now I know what you’re thinking: ‘What on earth is this crazy man up to?’ Well… It’s been a while since we made our relationship official, after my decision to stop looking and… I’m happy that you have been with me through this entire journey Tether. I thought I could never love someone else ever again in my life and yet here you are. Right in front of me, so what I’m really trying to say before I get too off topic here, is…” Heartman pulls a small blue suede box seemingly out of nowhere, opening it up to reveal a beautiful dark metal blue ring with a strip of what seems to be gold chiral crystals in the center; an opal as the centerpiece carved out in the shape of a small heart, “Tether, Sam, will you do me the honors, will you marry me?”

Tether sat there in shock for a brief moment, staring at the beautifully crafted ring in front of them before looking up at Heartman, “You silly man, yes! A thousand times yes!”

Almost immediately as the ring was placed shakily on their finger, they lunged at the man, kissing him fiercely. “Of course I’ll marry you Heartman, you’re the only one who has brought me happiness since my parents left.”

He smiles holding them close, “Good. I can officially say now, you have mended my silly heart-shaped heart. I love you Sam.” “I love you too.”

A New Start Ch.2

Fandom: Death Stranding Pairing: None (possible Queer Platonic Sam/Deadman later, IDK) Warnings: Spoilers Description: Sam is finally free. No more being forced to work for Bridges. No pressure to be some savior to the masses. And no one he has to be accountable to but himself and Lou. His life is his own at last and he intends to live it how he chooses from now on. Authors Notes: This fic contains spoilers to the ending of Death Stranding. Do not read if you don’t want to know how the game ends. Chapter: 2 of ? Read on AO3

Read Chapter 1: Mama’s Help

The first time Lou wakes up Sam, he honest to god thinks someone must be hurting her. She’s tiny, but her cry is -loud-. It takes a moment for the fog of sleep to leave him and for his mind to catch on to the fact that no, nobody is hurting her. She just needs a diaper change. And probably another bottle.

It’s about two in the morning, and somewhere in the back of Sam’s tired mind, he remembers that newborns need feeding every 3 hours or so. It’s been almost 5 since they went to sleep, so he figures Lou has to be pretty damn hungry by now.

Getting her diaper changed goes mostly alright, he only hesitates for a moment when trying to figure out the best way to do it. He hadn’t gotten this far in the whole learning to be a parent thing when he and Lucy were expecting their daughter. He’d read the first few chapters of the one book she gave him, and that was just on feeding and clothing do’s and don’ts.

“Hey there, Lou,” Sam coos tiredly as he finishes getting her new diaper on and starts to zip her back into her over-sized onesie. “There now, that wasn’t so bad,” he says more to himself than the tiny whining girl he scoops into his arms.

Lou still looks upset, which briefly has him worried, but then again he imagines it has to be pretty upsetting waking up to a wet diaper and an empty stomach after so long not feeling hunger or really experiencing anything else normal babies experience. He knows she’s not a normal baby, and he knows now that neither was he. He still isn’t really sure how he feels about that… Regardless, he figures given that she’s really over a year old and not a new born, experiencing these things for the first time has to majorly suck.

It’s easy enough to hold Lou in one arm while he fixes her a bottle, and as he does so he wonders how long she’ll stay this tiny. Deadman had said she’d started gaining weight and developing like a normal baby since they had bonded. If he had to guess, he’d say she’s definitely bigger than she was when he got her a few months back.

“What do you think, Lou? Should we go back to bed after this?” he asks a he gives her her bottle and starts to walk back and forth in the empty garage turned lab.

Lou, to her credit, is too busy downing her warm bottle of formula to have an opinion. Not that he expected her to have much of one.

With a tired sigh Sam heads back to the small bedroom and carefully climbs back into bed so he’s still holding and feeding Lou while he gets comfortable with a few pillows propping him up.

The next time he wakes up, it’s to a drooling baby soaking his tank top where she rests with her head right over his heart.

It’s about 5AM, and after a long few moments debate he carefully gets up and does his best to lay Lou down in her makeshift crib while he goes to get a shower and get changed.

It feels weird being here. In Mama’s lab. It feels different than it did before. And not just because there’s no baby BT there making his skin tingle and something in his mind go we’re not alone, get out!. The place feels like it’s lost something that he can’t describe.

He brushes the thought off as he finds the bathroom and gets the shower going. The water is almost too hot when he steps inside and he finds himself really not caring. It feels good. After so long both out in the cold and inside the controlled environment of the Bridges facilities he welcomes something simple and out of the ordinary like this.

Something catches Sam’s eye as he washes up. His wrist. It has a faint mark from wearing that cuff for so long. Sort of like the mark on his finger where he used to wear his wedding ring. Compared to the hand prints and scars all over his body, it’s honestly a mark that doesn’t bother him. He’s glad he took the cuff off. Was able to get away. And he’s extremely grateful to Deadman for making this possible. For suggesting how to save Lou and giving him this chance to get out of there with her.

When he finally makes his way back to the bedroom Lou is awake and watching the odradek he rigged up spin slowly and play a lullaby as the metallic parts of the sensors shimmer different colors in the faint light it emits. She notices him when he steps closer, and she reaches out with tiny hands for him.

It makes a warmth spread through Sam at the sight, and he can’t help but smile as he picks her up and holds her close to him. “Hey, Lou. What do you say, you wanna get somethin’ to eat?”

Lou simply grabs at his face with one hand while sticking the thumb of the other in her mouth in response. Sam figures that’s a yes and goes to fix her a bottle.

When they enter the tiny makeshift kitchen he nearly jumps out of his skin at what he sees.

Lockne is standing at the small stove with a kettle on one of the burners as she reads the back of the container of formula. When she sees Sam and Lou the sad smile Sam remembers Mama giving when she talked about her daughter is the exact smile Lockne gives them.

“Hey, sorry if I startled you,” she says as she sets the container of formula down on the counter. “I got an alert that the sensors at Malingen’s lab were activated. We thought it might be you so I got Deadman to help me find a vehicle without a GPS tracker and I came to check.”

“Anybody else know you’re here?” Sam asks as he tries to get himself to relax. He can trust Lockne. He knows that. But if anyone at Bridges finds out where he is, that Lou is alive, he’s sure that shit will not end well. For anyone. And there’s no way he’s letting those bastards take Lou from him after everything they’ve been through.

“Just Deadman, Heartman and Fragile. Deadman told us where you went,” she says, pausing to stare in wonder at Lou, who’s turned her attention from grabbing at Sam’s face and hair to watching Lockne with a new fascination “Is Lou alright?”.

“She seems fine to me,” Sam says as he takes a hesitant step into the room.

“She?” Lockne says with a smile, this time more warm than sad. “That’s good. I’m glad.”

After another moment's hesitation, Sam takes another step closer, bringing him just an arms reach from Lockne. “Do you, uh, do you want to hold her?”

Lockne raises her hands, but then pauses and bites her lower lip before she reaches out and waits for Sam to hand the small girl over. He does, and for a moment Sam is sure he saw Mama standing side by side with Lockne as she holds Lou close and smiles down at her.

“Hi there, Lou. It’s nice to meet you,” she says in a soft voice as she gently rocks the tiny baby in her arms. “I’m really glad she’s okay, Sam. We were so worried for you, if you really lost her…”

Sam feels the air shift with the words being left unsaid. They both know what losing a child does to a person.

“She’s a fighter,” is all he can bring himself to say before he steps past Lockne and grabs the kettle off the stove before it can start to whistle.

“I wonder where she could have learned that from,” Lockne says with a slight laugh as she moves to take a seat at the small table off to the side of the room. “Did you plan on staying here a while?”

“For a few days at least. I wanted to make sure Lou was really alright before I looked for someplace else for us to go,” he admits as he fixes Lou’s bottle and sets it to the side to cool a bit. “I came across some abandoned places here and there that weren’t destroyed by time fall. I figured we could go to one out of the way and get settled there.”

“We can help you with that, you know?” Lockne says, catching Sam a bit off guard.

“Yeah, how?” He asks as he comes to take a seat opposite her at the table. She’s not looking at him, attention focused on Lou, who grabbed a strand of her hair and is holding it in a tight grip with both hands as she makes a soft babbling sound.

“Now that the timefall has stopped and the BT’s are gone things are going to get a lot easier. Especially getting supplies. Wherever you end up we can make sure you and Lou don’t have to go without anything you need,” she explains as she carefully gets Lou to let go of her hair, her smile growing wider as that gets her finger grabbed in response.

“You don’t have to do that. You don’t owe us anything,” Sam protests.

“We want to help. You’re family. Real family helps each other. And I know you didn’t have the best experience with family in the past. But I swear we all just want to help you. You and Lou. We all care for you and this little girl,” she says earnestly as she looks Sam in the eye. “We won’t abandon you, Sam.”

They stare at one another for a long beat before Sam finds himself ducking his head a little and nodding. “Alright, you can help us,” he finally concedes. He knows he can trust her. And the others. He just needs to keep reminding himself that. For his sake as well as Lou’s.

When he looks up again Lockne is standing and coming around the table to pass Lou to him. “I’ll head back to the city and let the others know you’re here and that Lou is alright. I’ll be back either late tonight or sometime early tomorrow. Nobody will question my coming and going from here since it’s Malingen’s lab.”

“Hey, Lockne, “ Sam says as she turns to walk away, making her pause and look back at him. “Thank you.”

Again, for a flash, he sees Mama standing with Lockne, both of them giving him a smile and nod before turning again to leave. “Take care, Sam. We’ll see you again soon.”

And like that they’re alone again. And Lou pulls Sams attention back to her with a tug at his hair. He looks down at her with a huff of a laugh before getting up to grab her bottle. “Looks like your family just got bigger, huh, Louise.”

Little Smirk X Dean Winchester X Reader

Not sure how well this went the summer heat has frazzled my brain. Also not my gif.

Warnings : Swearing, Cheating.. I think that's it

You looked up into Dean’s eyes and swallowed hard. His lips were god damn perfect all you wanted was to kiss him. Your eyes closed slowly as you both leaned into the kiss. It was slow and passionate. Something you both had been waiting for this whole trip. You were due to go home tomorrow. Literally the next town over but after this you didn’t know if you could.

You pulled back “Dean.. I can’t do this. I’m so sorry, I’m married.”

“Oh god Y/N.. I’m so sorry. I just... this trip.. it... I’ve seen things alot more clearly.”

A tear fell down your cheek “Me too. I’m gonna go now. I need to sort some things out... but please, don’t leave just yet.” With a very heavy heart you picked up your bag and walked out to the motel parking lot. You threw your bag into the back seat of your shitty rental car and turned just one last time. Dean was stood in the door, you had never seen him look so sad. Sam stood behind him with a hand on his shoulder. You nodded to the brothers and got into the car.

The drive was terrible, all you wanted to do was turn back and be with them. Chatting rubbish as you ate shit food searching for info on some monster. You weren’t sure if you’ll be able to settle to normality ever again.

You sat in the car outside your house for a good 15 minutes, you were sure you had smoked 5 cigarettes through pure anxiety. You knew Mike would be super happy for you to be home but you weren’t sure if you were happy to get home.

Walking to the front door felt more scary than any hunt you had been on. The door was open, the first thing you could gear was the tiny little footsteps of your dog Pickles. He ran at you full force licking your entire face. “I missed you too baby" you said through the licks. “Okay, okay” you prized him off you. “Where’s yah dad?” he just looked at you wagging his tail.

You could hear music coming from his study. His music taste had changed since you had gone. You weren’t expecting heavy metal. You were a little impressed. Placing your hand on the study door handle you pushed the door wide open “SURPRISE!”

Damn straight it was a surprise, you were greeted with you supposed husband stark naked wearing nothing but a smirk. He leapt out of his skin and out of the girl. She looked at you, your so called best friend. An unknown rage filled your entire body. “WHAT THE FUCK!” you screamed at the top of your lungs. You charged at him punching him the face. He fell to the ground.

Wiping is lip he looked at you from the floor “What? I thought you were dead?”

“Oh I’m sorry that me being alive was an inconvenience.. please fucking finish!” Tara looked as though she was going to say something “I swear, if you say one word I’m gonna kick you so hard in the cunt your mum will feel it.” Turning you went to your room. You noticed the photos that were of you had been turned face down. Flinging the wardrobe doors open it was half your stuff and half hers. He couldn’t even be bothered to get rid of your things. You pulled a large duffel bag from the top shelf and stuffed as many clothes as you could. All the books by your side of the bed and some dog toys was all you could fit.

Mike walked in now he had finally put clothes on. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Isn’t that obvious? I’m leaving!”

“But we are supposed to be married.”

You scoffed at him “Did the fact that I just caught you sleeping with my old best friend get erased from your memory? You are a fucking idiot. Also I’m calling bullshit on thinking I was dead. All you needed to do was pick up the phone and call me. I do what I do for my family and you know that.”

He scoffed back at you making your anger even worse “Yeah right... your family died years ago. You do this for your own selfish reasons. I’m your only family Y/N. You cant leave me.”

“I thought you were but I have a new family now. I hope you enjoy fucking that slut.” You slung the bag over your shoulder and made your way to the door. Pickles followed you. They both stood at the top of the stairs watching you “I’m taking the dog, my beautiful car and I hope if I ever see you again it’s on the end of a knife.”

“YOU’LLBE BACK!” he shouted after you.

“I doubt it, and by the way she caught herpes off a stripper in Vegas last year.” You smiled as you walked out the door.

Breathing in deeply you felt like a huge weight had been lifted off your shoulders. You opened the door of your dodge challenger to let pickles in, he looked more than happy to be going with you. Throwing your bag in the back you thought you’d check the trunk, make sure your hunting gear was still in tacked. Sure enough when you lifted the hidden panel at the bottom there it all was.

A grin spread across your face as an idea sprung to your head. You grabbed the red spray paint that’s usually used for demon traps and one of your many axes.

You walked over to his “baby" (fucking Prius) sprayed the word CHEATER down both sides and planted the axe firm into the bonnet. You clapped your hands together laughing to yourself.

Your nosey neighbour came out to look what all the fuss was “Y/N.. you’re back from your trip. You know he’s had another woman in there.”

As you turned to your car you shouted back “Fuck off Linda, your casserole taste like shit!” you turned the engine on, hearing that beautiful purr sent chills through your body. Flicking the radio on you chose the perfect song Little Smirk by Theory Of A Deadman. Over the music you shouted “Pickles!” she looked at you tail wagging “Let’s have an adventure!” she barked in reply.

You wheel spun off your street passing the neighbourhood you prayed you’d never see again. As the town disappeared from your rear view mirror for the first time in a long time you felt you were doing what was right.

Pulling up into the motel car park you started to panic. The impala was not in sight. Maybe he didn’t wait, maybe they didn’t think you’d come back. First thought was to ring Dean but then you remembered the shape shifter from the last hunt had crushed it. You sighed as you opened the passenger door to let pickles out. He waited patiently at your feet a smile spread across his face. Bending down to stroke him you weren’t really sure what to do. “Looks like it’s just us for a while mate. But we’ll find them. Sammy’s gonna love you.”

You tried to remember what they said the next hunt was but at that time you were so anxious about going home you didn’t really listen. You could probably try Bobby, he’s not far out and even if he hasn’t heard from the boys you could always chill and have a beer or two together.

After your family was torn apart by Lilith Bobby had basically become a father to you, just like he had the boys and it would be nice to see him.

“Ahh well” you said to pickles as you opened the door “Hope back in buddy.”

A door slamming behind you made you jump. Looking up you saw him, brown boots, red shirt, a beautiful smile spread across his face. He jumped down the steps and ran towards you. You leapt into his arms. He squeezed you so tight you nearly burst but you didn’t care.

Pushing you back he looked into your eyes “What happened? You were gone an hour at the most!”

“I literally walked in on him sleeping with my best friend.”

“You’re kidding me? Want me to kill him.”

“No need but it doesn’t matter because I knew that I couldn’t go back to him. I didn’t want to, I knew this is exactly where I want to be. Saving people, hunting things right by your side.”

“I’ve been waiting to hear you say that for the longest time.”

He pulled you in for a kiss, this time it was passionate and heated. If it was up to the both of you you would have ripped your clothes of right there.

Pulling back to catch your breath you slapped him on the arm “You scared me, where’s baby? I thought you left me.”

“Well first of all you technically left me first and Sammy just went to grab food.”

Almost as if on cue the purr of the impala came from behind you. Sam pulled up next to your car. Stepping out he had a huge smile on his face “I knew you couldn’t stay away.” He threw a burger at Dean then one to you.

“Hey Sam, I want you to meet someone.” You said with your mouth half full. You opened your door for Pickles to keep out.

“Oh my god!” Sam actually sounded like a teenage girl “This is the famous pickles!”

“Damn straight, she’ll be hunting with us from now on.”

You and Dean looked at each other butterflies filled your entire body, you could feel his thumb pressing on your hip, your breathing got heavier. You could cut the sexual tension with a dagger.

“Erm...” Sam was a little uncomfortable “I’ll take Pickles for a walk....”

“Perfect.” Dean smiled as he picked you up. You wrapped your legs around his waist. “You ready baby?” he whispered in your ear.
