A Touch of Shining Restraint by Politzania - Words: 2,209
Tony shows off his latest technological plaything; Bucky eventually joins in the fun. A bit of smut for my Tony Stark Bingo Square S1 - Tentacles.
Misremembered by Arboreal - Words:14,014
When Loki smirked at Rogers in the middle of a battle and told him he would give Rogers what he wanted most in the world, the mind of his old friend back, Tony had a very bad feeling.
Forms of Love by Bear_Bell - Words:32,889
Months after the Avengers’ dispute in Germany, the team returns to the US and moves back into the tower. As always, everyone pretends that nothing happened. Tony is just fine with this. He’s used to pretending, and he’ll be damned if he lets any of them see him flinch. Tony’s the bad guy, after all. He’s used to it. He’s fine with it. He’s good at it. Only now, there’s something far worse loitering around the tower - The Winter Soldier. No one notices the guy at first, but when they do, Tony figures that he should have the soldier’s back.
The Evidence by StrivingArtist - Words:16,692
Didn’t notice. Right. Sure. Two brilliant minds, two super spies, and a god didn’t notice when the chattiest man they knew stopped making sound. They just seemed happier than before. Brighter and more cheerful than before. They just seemed like they were more comfortable with him around when he was stone silent. Fuck it. He knew they noticed. And he knew they liked him better this way.
The New Normal by Finely Honed - Words:3,445
“Fix it.” Tony blinked into the semi-darkness, his heart kindly reminding him of how alive he was by attempting to punch straight through his ribcage in response to the soft, raspy voice. He knew it was fear and adrenaline, but stupidly instead of making a run for it Tony just stood there and thought of cartoons. His imagination had conjured up a visualization of his heart stretching out through his shirt and pounding away in the air all va-va-voom, as if he’d been struck with Cupid’s arrow. “Sorry, I’m strictly appointment only.”
Winter’s Small Person by MysticMedusa - Words:1,646
The Winter Soldier isn’t just a programming but a personality that lives in Bucky. When Steve manages to drag his best friend home to the tower Winter decides he wants what Bucky had. A small friend that would one day do whatever it took to protect him. Tony Stark is a small person so Winter puts his claim on the genuis.
Late Nights and Bare Bottoms by Shi_Toyu - Words: 1,47
Tony stared down at the gingerbread cookies that’d been placed on the edge of the work station. It’d been the smell that’d drawn him out of his tunnel vision. He didn’t normally smell gingerbread in the middle of August. He blinked hazily, but the plate of cookies didn’t disappear. They were still warm, too, when he picked one up and bit into it. God, and delicious. He moaned and stuffed the rest of the cookie into his mouth, already reaching for another one. “You like them.” Tony nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound of Bucky’s voice, but in a flat tone. The super soldier loomed behind his chair, hair a tangled mess and face completely blank. He was dressed in Clint’s ‘I love to rub my meat’ apron and what appeared to be nothing else. “Uhhh… yes?”
Bucky Barne’s Bad Hair Day by tisfan - Words:2,924
Bucky thinks he needs a haircut…He also thinks there’s no FUCKING WAY he’s going to let a perfect stranger tip him back in a chair and be near his head with sharp scissors…
And We Still Prevail by StarkDusted - Words:37,885
Yeah, no, fuck this, Tony would like a refund thank you, 110% would not prefer to die today, die, die like mom and dad who were dead back in that car- December 16th, 1991. It’s an important day for HYDRA. The acquisition of the means to create several more soldiers for their cause- and the day that Anthony Edward Stark falls into their hands. The handler likes to think of it as the day of birth for their second greatest asset.
Sunshine by The_Winter_Writer - Words:3,779
Tony had never imagined that spending time away at one of his vacation homes, trying to stave off the surprisingly demanding job that was being CEO of SI, would lead to him finding Bucky. He didn’t even know Bucky’s kind existed until Bucky had nearly given him a heart attack and then tried to playfully tug him through the water with a tentacle.
Bi disaster Ryuji but he forgets to mention it to anyone cause it just slips his mind and one day he just drops a "woah look at how hot that guy is" or smth and the pt just collectively almost choke because it's just so out of the blue and without warning and Ryuji is so confused cause he thought everyone else already knew
Henwhehbehe THIS IS SOMETHING HED TOTALLY DO!!!
Hi! I’m Masky, my main blog is @maskyartist, and this is my blog specifically for posting about my AU, Traitor!Ryuji.
For a bit of a rundown of what Traitor!Ryuji actually is, it’s sort of the idea of “what if Ryuji decided enough was enough”, realized the Thieves weren’t exactly the best friends, Akechi grew attached to him, and convinced him to become their traitor/his inside man.
The longer explanation is all this!
=================
Now Ryuji, he’s known for awhile that the thieves have been…bad to him, but the day he’s left behind in the Red Light District by the boy who’s supposed to be his leader. His best friend. Someone he can rely on. He’s gone past the point of no return.
He and Akechi have already been talking since meeting at the TV Station, with Akechi giving Ryuji his number and telling him to “call if he needs someone who truly hears him”, and they became…I wouldnt say friends? Acquaintances is more accurate. They were friendly, but never truly hung out.
Until the night Ryuji got left behind in the Red Light District, and Akechi was there. He was fucking there, got the guys arrested, and brought Ryuji to his apartment. He let Ryuji tell his tale of woe, and in return, told him his plan to take down Shido starting with the Phantom Thieves. Now Akechi didn’t make him choose to join him or stay with the Thieves then and there. He simply…gave the blonde the option to either stay, or go.
And Ryuji knew he was attempting to manipulate him. Akechi said things like “you could always join me, Ryuji. I know your worth. Your efforts would never be invalidated.”, trying to butter him up, and he would never admit that they worked but fuck after looking so hard for compliments and acknowledgement Ryuji’s ashamed to admit that he was about to give in then and there.
But he told himself to wait. To talk to Akira about it. Maybe there was a big misunderstanding he wasn’t seeing. Maybe he didn’t just abandon him out right.
Then those words, two words, hit him like a truck, and he felt like he lost his leg once more. “You’re overreacting.”
Akira told him that. Straight to his face. Alone. In private. Without anyone around. No Morgana to egg him on, no Ann to tell him he’s wrong she would. he knows she would. she’s been sexually harassed. she’d stand up for him…wouldn’t she?, no Yusuke to just sit there and be all…weird.
It was him, and Akira, and the emptiness of space, and the crushing, bone breaking pressure of realizing that yes. This is his leader. This is his best friend.
A coward is all he truly was.
That afternoon, after school, Ryuji let himself to Akechi’s apartment. One his fans don’t know about. One where he can be in peace. He knocked on the door, and there stood the detective with a quirked brow.
“You were right.” Ryuji says as he walks inside, taking off his shoes, and dropping his bag on the couch. He needed to get something. “He’s a coward. He’s a coward and he’s our leader and he told me I was overreacting. He’s a coward and I hate him.” It was so immediate, too. The hatred that bubbled away at the idea of Akira as he realized what other cowardly deeds he’d done.
Letting Ryuji take hits for him, letting Ryuji take jabs at his emotions, teasings that hit too close to home, insults and sticks and stones that were only supposed to break his bones but god those words truly hurt more then anything.
There it is. Ryuji pulls out his phone, slides it open, and hands it to Akechi. The Phantom Thieves group chat.
Oh. He’s crying. He didn’t even notice.
“I’ll be your traitor.”
=================
So if any of this interests you, or if you have any questions, maybe stick around for this current obsession! (Also yes this is Ryugoro I love evil bfs)
Cheers to the prideful sponge boy, happy for him
kunikida is my favorite character (world shock) so i wanted to share my thoughts of it are taken from aspects i have annotated about him/he has said. these are theories!!! nothing confirmed. pd: i have taken some info from doppo kunikida’s irl life, asagiri has taken a lot of details of his life so i doubt he won’t now. please enjoy! :) i also apologize for any misspellings, english is not my first language.
1) kunikida & his family:
kunikida is one of the few characters that have confirmed families (as said in the mini novel kunikida & katai’s magnificent days), so the possibility of being an orphan is eliminated. it’s not mentioned if he has parents or not but he has a family. here are my options/theories abt his family
his dad/his mom (or both) work for the military/government. usually the “stick” personality is associated with having a military family, kunikida’s character trope (istj, moralist) fits in the “military family” stereotype and considering bsd has a lot of topics around the military (like the current arc), it’s a high possibility. this also explains kunikida’s hate of authorities (we will get into this later), and even if they’re not from the military they’re probably people with high prestige/on the traditional side (ex: the zenin’s in jjk).
on the opposite side, kunikida’s family are anti govt (anarchism). again this is mostly related to his authority hate. this also can be linked to the azure king (if you want me to elaborate please let me know!)
these are my main ideas. important to note that irl’s stepdad worked for the ministry of justice and was an ex samurai (which could connect him to one of the fukus). other small things i have noted:
kunikida cares a lot about reputation. maybe this need for the ada’s reputation to stay intact is a reflection of his family.
kunikida used to pass a lot of time with katai (more than with his own family) so they are probably busy people/weren't really present in his life
kunikida has a “motherly” behavior yet he has a strong personality that is usually linked with a strong patriarchal figure. i personally link this to the fact that kunikida’s household could have been more matriarchal. with this, kunikida could have conflicts with his mother possibly related to his idealism.
kunikida is the youngest child. don’t debate me on this.
kunikida’s family dedicates to save people’s lifes/bring justice to them. so he followed their footsteps in his own way.
2. kunikida’s young years
2.1) his possible relation to the great war:
(spoilers for bungo stray dogs manga chapters 65 and 66)
when you think about kunikida's potential childhood, most people assume he had the most "normal" childhood out of all of the ada members. however, kunikida could have (sadly) been involved similarly to how yosano was or in other ways. this section will be divided in two sections: kunikida doppo's irl relation to the sino japanese war (with a connection to irl mori) and kunikida and the usefulness of his ability in the war context.
kunikida doppo and the sino japanese war: for a little bit of context, the first sino japanese war (1894-1895) was a conflict between the japanese empire and china because both countries were looking for being the dominant influence in korea. in this time, multiple authors that were bsdfied participated as war correspondants with the exception of (surprise surprise) ogai mori, who enlisted in the japanese army as an army doctor.
kunikida doppo worked as a war correspondant along with his friend katai tayama in the sino-japanese war. there is no information about where kunikida worked in, but katai worked in taiwan in the same division as mori; this war correspondency was vital for kunikida's career, he got extremely popular due to his war journalism). both kunikida's (doppo and his brother shuuji) were disciples of soho tokutomi, a japanese historian and journalist; it was under him where he became a war correspondant, learnt german (similar to mori) and worked in the newspaper "Kokumin no Tomo" founded by soho, and where mori published "the dancing girl".
kunikida had a involvement in the russo-japanese war, but it's insignificant compared to his work in the sino japanese war. i put this in the post because, as mentioned, asagiri puts details from the irl's life in the story; this is not the reason why i believe he was in the great war, but it makes a little bit more possible.
as i keep rereading this arc, i noticed something yosano said that caught my attention:
doesn't this sound a little similar to mr. idealist "no one will die in front of me"? because it does to me. even if they don't mean the exact same thing, the general idea is the following: keeping people alive.
yosano truly values human life
kunikida's ability and his usefulness in the war:
here's why i believe kunikida may have been involved in the great war; his ability. kunikida's ability "doppo poet" consists of being able to create anything that comes from the notebook. kunikida's ability, even if doesn't look like a threat at first glance, it's a tricky one; if he wanted, he could use a bigger notebook he could summon bigger weapons (such a b0mbs, bigger guns) but he stays with a smaller notebook (which yes it's practical, but why would he use grenades when he could summon better weapons?)
kunikida, with a never ending pile of paper, could summon multiple useful weapons almost at the same time; for the great war, having someone that could create weapons in an instant is convenient. it's also important to remember that ability users' were searched at that time (+ mori's plan, that is explained in chapter 65 or 66).
but besides his ability, and with the past section focused on yosano's trauma and response due to going to the great war, it's not difficult to assume he could have been in a similar situation. kunikida's constant creation of weapons that killed people, that he didn't not want to do because he was a child, in front of him, with no way to stop it because he was forced to create those weapons and because he was a child... he couldn't save them all, kunikida's own experience as a child soldier/weapon during the great war, in this context, is why he's so attached to them, because he sees his little self in them, and in general, it may be possibly the main reason of ideals' being born, so “no one will die in front of me” is kunikida’s reaction to the cruelness of war, just like yosano’s (panel attached below) plus, kunikida's reaction to death is very emotional and raw, which is something that is not seen a lot in bsd (and it's one of his most important characteristics), and has been a theme around for a looong time now.
i wish i'm wrong in this one (please)
2.2) kunikida the rebel
as the name says (lol) kunikida could have been a rebel in high school as well. kunikida does not care about breaking laws (except the ones where he acts like a normal citizen). this could be the aftermath of years of trauma; it's not linked to why he is the way he is but is... more of a way to show he's not that much of a "stick"
ps: between all this mess, he met katai. i don't have a theory abt their meeting but i know those two find each other in the moment they needed it the most. :) following the war timeline, i think katai's family were also involved and they met when it finished and... trauma bonded (to put in blantly).
3. kunikida and the past (why does he not want to talk abt it?)
i want to dive into the most interesting part of kunikida's conversation abt his backstory. he does not want to talk about it.
there are multiple reasons this could be such as shame and trauma; i don't have an elaborate reason why (there could be MULTIPLE) but here are the ones i feel that are the most likely:
as i said before, kunikida could have been from a family of politicians and military members. as he's an idealist, and the topic of politicians and corruption could fit perfectly, he would want to disassociate himself from them.
> this doesn't have to be only abt having govt affiliated family btw. but just the idea that he doesn't want to associate himself with his family because they don't have the same ideals.
he got disowned. not much to mention here
trauma. again not a lot to say here.
rocky relationship with his family. or maybe they are just shitty people and doesn't want to be with them anymore.
othe stuff i have thought about is that kunikida is a liar. not exactly something possible considering ranpo should know by now but it’s still… there. it’s possible.
that's it! i hope you enjoyed. sorry if it's too long i love kunikida. :)♡ let me know what you think as well!

Yeah. Still good.
When Scar says “amazing” like “omayzin” reblog if you agree
(There are definitely other words he says differently that I find really endearing, I’ll add to this as I think of more)
me, checking my email: if it's not ao3 updates then i've lost interest
