i wonder if bucky ever thought of steve and saw the enhanced him. if he ever tried so hard to think of his best friend from brooklyn, but found that HYDRA had messed with his memories so bad that that kid was only a blur. if, years later, the only time he could remember pre-serum steve was from pictures released to the public, and in very few of those was the real steve. the stubborn steve who would smile and laugh. and when bucky is nearing the end of his own life, which version of steve will he imagine, if he even has a choice?

Whenever Haymitch insulted Effie's outfits during the main triology, it wasn't his fault, he was being possesed by Maysilee's ghost
when someone mentions that my screen rotation is locked and i have to pretend it isnt to read fanfic
there is so much tony will never know because he died before he could learn it. he’d never know just how much the avengers meant to natasha. he’d never know how much ruin EDITH brought peter. he’d never know steve went back in time and got to be with peggy. he’d never know just how similar to him morgan is. he’d never know that thor adopted a girl. he’d never know how much better clint got.
he’d never know any of this, and he never will. but everyone else will remember why he sacrificed this knowledge.
rest in peace Maysilee Donner, you would have loved... all of it. you would have loved all of it
chapter 2 is out !!

(Note to my followers: this is the one where peter has a gun)
I've had this idea rotating in my head for a while about a specific scenario in a universe where nobody is ever clued in on the fact that the bats are related. They just assume that Robin, Red Robin, Red Hood, Nightwing, and everybody else just coincidentally happens to be Gotham (+Bludhaven) based like Batman is.
Do me a favor and imagine the aftermath of some stage five hall hands on deck crisis where everyone and their team has to gather for debriefing and for medical care. Everybody shows up with their respective teams, Nightwing with his Titans, Red Robin with the old members of YJ, Red Hood with the Outlaws, Batman with the JL ect ect.
Everyone is super tired from the battle and none of them are even given a moment to breathe before Red Hood and Red Robin start beefing on sight. Before anybody can even think to intervene, Nightwing, Orphan, Spoiler, Robin, and Signal join in and they all just start bickering at one another.
Everybody thinks they're about to fight. Like seriously start hashing it out. Thing is, YJ are RR's ride or dies. If RR starts fighting Nightwing then the YJ are gonna fight Nightwing. And then the titans are gonna fight the YJ because those are Nightwing's ride or dies. Same goes for all the teams and their respective leaders.
Everyone looks across the room going, "Am I gonna have to fight you? Man, I don't wanna fight you." They could not wanna fight because of the prior battle, out of respect for their potential opponents, or because they know that opponent would whoop their ass. But they'll still do it because that's their leader.
Eventually all of them stop their bickering, suspending the room in tense silence, as they stare each other down. Everybody is bracing themselves for the first punch and the JL is preparing to break up the fight, but instead the silence is broken by all of the birds turning their heads in one direction and yelling, "Daaaaaaddd!"
The room is dead silent enough that everyone can hear Batman's exhausted sigh echo through the room before it's followed by, "You're all grounded."
and if i said “younger sibling growing older than dead older sibling” is the saddest trope ever?
us bucky fans have been FED
i need the epilogue of sunrise on the reaping to describe a vague, non-specific reaping and then it ends with effie calling “primrose everdeen”
