Peter: *Enters completely drenched & shivering*
Tony: Underoos!! *starts screaming & pampering him*
*While making cold chocolate to warm up his little spiderling*
Tony: Why didn't you swing in your suit? It would have saved you from resembling a kicked & drenched puppy.
Peter: *pouts* I am not a puppy
Peter: Also, it’s a million dollar worth suit, Mr. Stark. Couldn't get it wet
Tony: astonished, slackjawed, flabbergasted
Tony: Is my age catching upto me or did you actually took a nose dive into a freaking lake with that suit?
Peter: oh! It was waterproof?!
Tony: Flabbergasted Stark
Okay, this post of Tom being asked who he'd like to see Loki going up against in the MCU got me thinking.
I feel like we have yet to see Loki going up against anyone with magical abilities in anything like a fair fight. Strange took him by surprise, and we didn't see anything from Ebony Maw because the whole damn attack on the Statesman was off screen (yes, I'm still bitter about that). And Loki hasn't interacted with Wanda or Wong. So I think my first preference would be a magic user, although I'd prefer him to be fighting alongside the characters mentioned above, so it would have to be a new character.
As Tom says, the X-Men are now part of the universe, so I'd love to see Loki and Magneto trying to figure each other out. Loki would have to get rid of his armour fast! XD
I feel like we've seen him fighting earthbound characters already, so that would be less exciting. Although I'd be curious to see what would happen with Peter Parker. I can imagine Spider-man being agile enough to keep out of the way of a lot of Loki's attacks until Loki gets frustrated enough and brings in the big guns. That could be amusing.
Of course, this is with MCU Loki not series Loki. Now series Loki could wipe the floor with just about anyone!
Wait! Okay, okay... I wanna see series Loki get revenge on Thanos. There. That's what would make this world a better place.
Loki: I don’t die often
Loki: but when I do, I don’t
Thor:
Thor: you need therapy
Oh, he will do some terrible, awful things indeed, Brad. :]
Tell me we’ll never get used to it.
Some No Place Like Home fluff because. I wanted to draw fluff. I don’t think this is necessarily the first time Mobius says “I love you” to Loki, but I do think that sometimes when he says it, Loki gets overwhelmed by the reminder that he’s allowed to have this now, and that they aren’t in danger.
There’s a playlist now, too :)
Wille, after Simon kissed him during the costume party: maybe life does have a meaning after all
Simon: that kiss was a mistake
Wille: oh
Wille: I hope I die
apparently the Still Not Funny deleted scene is about Bucky ‘bringing a treat to Sam's family gathering’, and after talking to @logicheartsoul about it, i obvs had to write something
It was a joke.
Sam’d—very casually, if he’d say so himself—invited Bucky to the cookout. He’d been trying to relax into Bucky’s lone armchair, the TV on and playing something he’d never seen before.
Bucky, who had been sitting on the ground and leaning into the side of the chair, had froze, very minutely, then relaxed, asked what he should bring.
Sam had, very dryly, said, “Ice cream cake,” because Bucky’d tried to make them breakfast that morning and almost burned the eggs to a crisp. Sam was just being cautious, and yeah, okay, maybe also a little shit, but mostly cautious.
Bucky, the biggest little shit to have ever existed, took it personally, apparently, because here he was now, sunglasses on, wearing Sam’s Henley, driving Sam’s truck and joking with Sam’s nephews, carrying a lopsided ice cream cake that was very bravely fighting for its life in the heat of the afternoon.
Sam’s stupid, stupid heart did a stupid, stupid somersault.
He went on taking pictures and joking around and filling up his plate, feeling light and happy and on the edge of something wonderful, then Bucky was close, sunglasses hanging from the collar of his—Sam’s—Henley, his cheeks a bright red from the setting sun.
“Hey,” he said, voice light and so soft.
“Hey yourself.”
“Want a piece of cake?”
Sam gave him a flat look. “You’re not funny.”
Bucky’s smile went bigger, brighter, like he immediately knew what Sam was talking about.
“Dunno what you’re talking about,” he said.
“You’re full of shit,” Sam said, “and, still not funny. You’re not funny.”
“I just couldn’t come empty-handed, Samuel, I have manners.”
“You brought an ice cream cake.”
“It was a no-brainer, honestly.”
Sam rolled his eyes, fighting back a smile, then he turned back to watch the gentle waves and the sky as it changed colors.
The music was dying down, the day slowing and easing into the evening. Bucky was still standing just a step behind him, and Sam could feel his eyes on him.
His heart skipped a little as Bucky knocked his knuckles against his shoulder.
“Come on,” he said, so soft once again.
And Sam turned, gave into the urge and wrapped his arm around his shoulder to pull him closer.
Bucky came easily, his warmth seeking into Sam’s alright sun-warmed body, until it was almost too much.
He didn’t pull away.

Tony helping Stephen to sleep? Hope you have fun at con!!
Con was awesome! And you have reminded me that I need to blot my face out of some photos so that I can share. 😀 Plus, the swag report! Although most of the swag is for another fandom, because there’s not much Stephen stuff out there (though I did get two things!).
Anyway, ficlet!

There was something particularly awful about a nightmare that prevented you from sleeping. At least if the damn thing woke Stephen up he’d gotten a couple of hours. At least if his dreaming mind inflicted it on him, it was involuntary. But to lie there, awake, and still be thinking about it was infuriating. Which did not make sleeping any easier.
Sighing, Stephen sat up and pulled on a dressing gown. Maybe a hot drink would help him relax. Or some reading.
But when his bedroom door swung open, Wong was standing on the threshold, arms crossed. Stephen did <i>not</i> jump. “Wong! What are you doing?”
“Making sure that you sleep.”
Stephen groaned, rubbing at sore eyes. “If I could, I would.”
“You know what will help,” Wong said, unmoved.
Stephen flushed, but didn’t try to pretend he didn’t understand. They’d both lost patience with that song and dance. “He’s not a sleep aid. And it’s two in the morning.”
Wong raised his hands and started casting a portal.
“What are you doing?!” Stephen yelped.
“Countering your objections,” Wong said.
The portal bloomed open, revealing Tony’s workshop. The man himself was sprawling in a rolling chair, looking up at projected blueprints. He didn’t seem at all surprised when he turned to look through the portal. “Nightmare?”
Wong answered before Stephen could. “Nightmares would require him to sleep at all.”
Stephen shot Wong a glare before turning to Tony. “I’m sorry to bother you.”
“Hey, I meant it when I said any time,” Tony said. “You got pajamas I can borrow, or should I grab some?”
“I have some,” Stephen said. He refused to look at Wong even as Tony stepped through the portal and Stephen felt the tension easing out of his neck and shoulders and… well, everything.
Later, head resting on Tony’s chest, the man’s heart beating reassuringly in his ear, eyes already drooping, Stephen decided that this was worth Wong’s inevitable ‘I told you so.’
Maybe even a few times over.
