Pre-whump Whumpee who talks nonstop about their interests, they’re the type of person to just come up and start talking to Caretaker unprompted about whatever has their attention that day. Caretaker gets a bit annoyed by it sometimes, but they don’t say anything, building resentment.
When Whumpee disappears, it all flips. Caretaker would do anything to hear them talk about their interests again. However, after Whumpee is rescued, they’re quiet, answering questions with a sentence or less, never wanting to go in depth. Caretaker tries to talk about anything they can think of, just to get the same few words out of Whumpee
sorry for finding it hot when people's hair goes grey. as if im wrong
Prompt:
Tony never visits his parents graves. To many memories.
But one day he was out with Happy, on his Mother's birthday they neared the cemetery where they were buried. And he felt a strong urge to go there.
Even though he hasn't been here since the funeral he knows exactly where to go. Which is a surprise considering how plastered he was for it.
But what he isn't expecting is for someone to be at the tomb stones, cleaning it. Talking a mile a minute as if there was a live person there. Scrubbing and getting some of the grime off the headstone.
" I'll make sure to bring some flowers or plants next time I'm here. I just couldn't pass up the chance to NOT clean your headstone. You would think the grounds keeper would take better care. But since I was already here cleaning up, Uncle Ben's might as well fix you up too. Your son is doing great work, you know that? Course you do. But still I read his latest paper and it's really neat. I wonder if I could tweak some of the"
And that is how Tony met one Peter Parker.
And honestly Tony had been in love with Peter for a long time. Longer then what cared to admit.
But it was Peter talking to DUM-E that sealed his fate.
He had sent DUM-E to the corner for knocking over a tray. And when Peter got in asking why he was in the corner, he didn't laugh and go about his business. He went and knelt down next to him. Patting him on his head. Quietly talking to him about how about they train together for lab safety and maybe update his sensors to help prevent future accidents.
Bucky, walking past a Barnes and Nobles: woah this place is still around? No shit
Peter: yeah there’s like a dozen of them in the city alone. They’re like, everywhere. Like there’s a monopoly.
Bucky, freezing: are you shitting me?
Peter: no…?
Bucky: Peter. The ‘Barnes’ in that name is a Barnes-Barnes. Like, my uncle.
Peter: you’re shitting me
Peter:… do your family was like-
Bucky: Peter, I had a car. In 35. In the depression.
Peter: right. Okay then. What do I do with this information?
Bucky: fuck if I know. I’m gonna make some calls and see if my stocks from 45’ are still floating around somewhere.
the first rule of writing is that there are no rules. the second rule is to save your work every 5 minutes because technology is a fickle god.
‘‘Great. Nice job, real nice job,’‘ Bucky muttered to himself as he turned to collect himself and take a breath before making his way over to Peter and kneeling down in front of him. ‘‘Hey, look at me, hey,’‘ Bucky coaxed softly as he guided Peter’s hands down from his face, taking in his bloodied face and wet eyes. ‘‘I was scared too. I’m sorry I yelled. I didn’t want you to get hurt-’’
‘‘I didn’t want that either!’‘ Peter cut in, shifting closer to Bucky as he sniffled.
‘‘I know, baby. I know,’‘ Bucky soothed before craning his neck to press his lips softly against Peters.
I love fics where people (the general public) assume Pepper doesn’t like Peter on account of him being much younger and married to her ex husband and co parenting her daughter when in reality in my heart of hearts I know this is their relationship. They gang up on Tony. They have tea sessions. Tony is horrified of them being in the same room together because he knows they will be exchanging intel. Peter loves her daughter and so Pepper loves Peter. It’s very simple. Peter is free child care. Peter keeps Tony out of stupid shit, because Tony’s just a little afraid of Peter like he is of her. They’re a very healthy functional coparenting unit.
26yo, Brazilian. Back to this site after years, still getting the hang of it and feeling old. (I multiship; It may not be of your liking.) She/Her 🩷💜🩵
