The Avengers' PR Team Deserves Better

Summary:

Twitter fic, because I feel like it's just a vibe?
Idk man, I've spent a lot of time reading these and coming up with ideas, so here we go, I guess!

Chapter 1: Avengers on Twitter!!!

Summary:

The Avengers Have Twitter.
And they are A Mess™
This is just the intro chapter, but I've got more lined up!!!

Chapter Text

Bucky Barnes @hundredyearoldman
@beterbarker just sent me this . Please don’t worship me that's weird

Steve Rogers @causeimincharge
What about me, Buck?🥺

Bucky Barnes @hundredyearoldman
You’re the only exception, doll 😏

Steve Rogers @causeimincharge
Suddenly I’m not training anymore.

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
Disgusting. Right in front of my salad.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Uncle Steve not on twitter--

Hawk-EYE Can’t Hear You!! @hahagetmyjoke
Why is Steve running down the stairs instead of taking the elevator

Hawk-EYE Can’t Hear You!! @hahagetmyjoke
Nevermind.

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
Maybe putting Steve back on T after so long off of it was a bad idea…

The OG Spider @mamaspider
YOU THINK?

Harley the Potato Kid @apotatoflewaroundmyroom
@beterbarker is this what I have to look forward to from you when I visit?

------------
Tori @stuckyismylifeblood
Did we just… get to witness @cuzimincharge’s first chaotic tweet???

Tori @stuckyismylifeblood
And was it about him… being horny?

Tori @stuckyismylifeblood
Also did THE TONY STARK say “right in front of my salad”? I can’t tell if this is the timeline god abandoned or his new pet project.

Go Away Anna @okaybye
Yes. Also what was that about Steve Rogers being on T???

Bi-der-Man!!! neighborhoodarachnid
Nothing, and it will not be mentioned again for his privacy until he’s ready

Go Away Anna @okaybye
Ofc, ily btw

Bi-der-Man!!! neighborhoodarachnid
Ilyt! Thanks for being a bro :)

Daisy @flowerpower
Thor is a himbo, you cannot change my mind

Forgive Him, He’s Confused -Loki @thor
What is a himbo?

Forgive Him, He’s Confused -Loki @thor
Nevermind, Loki has explained it to me. I think you are correct

Daisy @flowerppower
This is??? The best day of my life????

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
I just called Peter to see what my ringtone was because his phone was on the couch

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
@beterbarker WHY THE FUCK IS MY RINGTONE MONEY, MONEY, MONEY

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
SFFJAJSKAKJDJFSAJ OH GOD

Shuri, 19 @neverlearnedhowtoread
WAIT YOU ACTUALLY DID IT???

THE bi Disaster @beterbarker
YOU TRIPLE DOG DARED ME YES I DID IT

I got a rock… -another Charles @charlesmurphy
… Peter? Do I need a new prescription or did Tony Stark and Princess Shuri just both tweet you?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh haha heyyyy Charles. No, you shouldn’t need a new prescription. That’s… no that’s accurate.

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
This is a fever dream and I am going back to bed. Good-bye twitter.

Chapter 2: The Avengers Are... Very Gay?

Summary:

Shocker: they're all gay! I love the Gay-vengers very much and they will make an appearance plenty, I promise.

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Flash @hundredyarddash
Wtf not everything in the world is fucking gay, stop ‘claiming’ superheroes as trans or bi or whatever

I’m a Mess @frootloopenthusiast
I think we like to think/pretend that all of these heroes are lgbtq+ because it makes us feel more safe with them protecting us. Like they understand

LESBIANNNN @hannahluvswomen
Yeah like even if they are all cis and straight, barring @neighborhoodarachnid of course because we know he’s bi, it makes us feel better to relate to people, especially ones who risk their lives to protect us… sorry if that bothers you, i guess?

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
The Avengers and I are all honored that you would claim us as your own, guys! Those of us who aren’t a part of the LGBTQ+ community are absolutely allies, and we love you!

LESBIANNNN @hannahluvswomen
Oh my god Spider-Man actually responded and said the Avengers are allies. My entire life was just made.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Loki is my husband @yesiloveloki
Hi I love @godofmischief. That’s all have a good day

Not Puny, Thank You @godofmischief
I assume that if I knew you I would also care deeply for you, young Midgardian. Also, husband is an incorrect word to consistently refer to me as. I am as you would say, gender-fluid. @neighborhoodarachnid taught me about pronouns recently. Today my pronouns are they/them.

Loki is my Spouse!!! @yesiloveloki
I’m so glad you told me! I changed it. Also thank you… I think?

Dr. Bruce Banner @doctornotmister
“Care deeply for you” is the highest form of affection anyone except for Spider-Man has received from Loki. They really don’t… like that many people.

Loki is my Spouse!!! @yesiloveloki
Well then thank you!!!

Not Puny, Thank You @godofmischief
You’re quite welcome.

Loki is my Spouse!!! @yesiloveloki
Holy fucking shit this is the best day of my entire goddamn life. Send tweet. Farewell Twitter I will die a happy woman.

Ryan @gayerthanu
Did we just… get to witness the most iconic day in twitter history?

Gray @survivingonmemes
This is the best day of my life

~~~~~~~~~~ The Next Day ~~~~~~~~~~~

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
In light of the PR nightmare that the Avengers and myself have created, we decided to use this thread and take the time to address our tweets from yesterday.

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
[screeenshot of Spider-Man’s tweet about not being straight]
According to plenty of people across numerous platforms, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and I, quote, “broke the internet”. From what we, along with the PR team, have witnessed, that’s very true.

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
The goal was to wait just a few extra months for pride month, to allow everyone to make up their minds about how much they wanted to reveal, however, I guess we’re here now.

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
My name is Pepper Potts. I’m a queer woman. It took me a long time to accept that, but I have never been happier than I am now, comfortable with who I am.

The OG Spider @mamaspider
I’m a lesbian. I wasn’t allowed to be who I was for a very long time, but I’m so grateful for my girlfriend now.

Bucky Barnes @hundredyearoldman
I’m a proud gay man, and I have been since the 40’s. I’ve been engaged to @cuzimincharge since then, too.

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
I’ve never said a word to the public, and it was erased from history, but not only am I bisexual, I’m transgender. When I was 13, I cut my hair in the bathroom and refused to respond to any name except for Steve where I could get away with it. Of course, I’ve been engaged to @hundredyearoldman since WWII. We’ve been planning our wedding for a year now.

Shuri, 19 @neverlearnedhowtoread
If you colonizers didn’t know I was a massive lesbian, I don’t know how you went this long before you figured it out. Now you know, I guess?

Forgive Him, He’s Confused -Loki @thor
I identify as what young Man of Spiders says is queer! Unlike my sibling, I only use one set of pronouns, he and him!

Better Bird Uncle @samwilson
I’m currently questioning my sexuality, but I will always be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
I’m bi!!! Duh. But what you might not know is that I’m trans, too! Just like our lovely Captain America @cuzimincharge

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
And I join the bi-trans people and make three! This is my official coming out to the world, huh?

Harley the Potato Kid @apotatoflewaroundmyroom
I’m gay as hell, in case anyone was wondering. Also currently in love with @beterbarker which is super fun.

Dr. Bruce Banner @doctornotmister
I’m asexual! You’re all so shocked, I know. I’m also panromantic. @youknowwhoiam and I have a mostly-platonic situation going on. QPPs is what @beterbarker is telling me we’re called.

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
I mean… here goes nothing. I’m asexual, too. However, I’m also gray-romantic, so I’m also kind of iffy on the romance stuff, too. But @doctornotmister and I make it work just fine.

Hawk-EYE Can’t Hear You!! @hahagetmyjoke
I’m cis and straight, but might play around with the term aromantic for a while? Otherwise, yes, I’m a cis white straight male. I’m sorry about us. BUT-- I bring a different kind of diversity being almost completely deaf. #disabledvisibility

Wanda <3 @scarletbitxh
@thorismydad and I are both straight and cis, but we are proud allies! We love the diversity on our team. Also, our Twitter-less friends have given me permission to tell you their sexualities as well!

Wanda <3 @scarletbitxh
Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, is a very proud lesbian
The Sorcerer Supreme is asexual and biromantic, and he has also asked me to tell you that he and his boyfriend are very happy.
Ant-Man is a cishet ally!!
Our Guardians have disclosed that they have two queer members and are all allies, but wish to keep the rest private.

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
The Avengers and I are so proud of who we are, and we hope to encourage happiness all around! If you are in a bad situation, please message one of us and we will do our utmost to help you. Please remember to embrace diversity, as it is what makes the world beautiful.

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Also, please be sensitive with us, this was a very big step, especially for @cuzimincharge, @beterbarker, and @neighborhoodarachnid. We will all be taking a step back from social media for the next day or so and regrouping.

Notes:

Drop a comment with any ideas you want me to maybe incorporate! I need all the ideas you have for me. Bring it on!!! As always, thank you for reading. Sending my love to you all <3

Chapter 3: Avengers Lip Syncing aka Collective Fever Dream

Summary:

Earth's Mightiest Heroes get a little tipsy.... okay a lot tipsy...
and then Peter walks in and finds them dramatically lip syncing to the best possible genre. (but i'm going to make you read to find out what genre that is)

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
At this point even I’M convinced this is a fever dream.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
‘Why Peter, what finally tipped you over the edge?’, you may ask?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I just came up from the lab, only to find Disney music playing and the so-called “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” dramatically reenacting the songs.

I <3 Spidey @spiderstan
I’m sorry, did you just drop a bombshell like this and NOT post a video?

Marshall @ihatetwitter
BRO WE NEED A VIDEOOOOO

I’m sorry in advance @ironstragefan1
MR. THE BI DISASTER SIR PLEASE POST A VIDEO

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
OKAY OKAY HOLD UP I HAD TO GET THE VIDEO UPLOADED FROM FRIDAY

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Here, you desperate bitches.
[In the video, Clint, Natasha, Tony, Steve, Bucky, and Bruce are seen. Loki is staring at them from the kitchen island.
‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ is playing through the speakers.
Natasha is really into the song, using Clint as the Ariel to her Ursula.
Bruce and Tony aren’t really lip-syncing as much as they were dancing, Tony dips Bruce at one point, and they both almost fall, doubling over laughing as soon as they right themselves, Bruce’s head resting on Tony’s shoulder to avoid falling down. At one point Bruce grabs Tony’s hand and spins him around.
Around this time, Peter comes out from the elevator and stops dead as soon as he disembarks. The camera just barely catches him mumble “oh please let the cameras be getting all of this”.
Steve and Bucky are both a little confused, but they’ve got the spirit. Steve knows more of the song than Bucky, and they go in and out of lip-syncing from their seats on the couch.
As the speakers play “Floxam, Jetsam, now I’ve got her boys, the boss is on a roll”, Clint makes a mad dash for the remote.
“Back off bitches this is my moment!!!” Clint hisses, running and sliding down on both knees for the final dramatic “this poor unfortunate soul!!!” before standing up and bowing. Steve and Natasha are laughing so hard that Steve fell off the couch, Peter is already instructing FRIDAY to play “Make A Man Out Of You” from Mulan, and Bucky, Tony, and Bruce are all clapping for Clint as the video ends]

I <3 Queer-vengers @theyreallgay
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT BRUCE AND TONY THEY ARE THE CUTEST FUCKING QPPS EVER I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH

Jackie @jackiebutnotchan
@theyreallgay YES!!!! Thank you! They’re so wholesome. The SPIN???

Emmie @hawkeyetrash
Clint’s whole “back off Nat, this is my moment” is sending me--

Emmie @hawkeyetrash
And the remote control acting as a mic? ICONIC

Step on me @blackwidowiloveyou
Natasha’s Ursula was amazing and I am now making a “Times Natasha Romanov was Ursula IRL” compilation.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay I know it’s been a few hours, we just had a whole Disney jam session. Who wants more contenttttttt (keep in mind they’re all at least a little tipsy from the start so these only get better)

Bella @disneynerdnumerouno
I think I speak for everyone when I say “I DOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Leslie @imadude
@disneynerdnumerouno rt

Ryan @gayerthanu
@disneynerdnumerouno rt

Too Gay For This Shit @probablygaypanicking
@disneynerdnumerouno rt

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m just gonna post two more here, follow me on YouTube @/adventureswiththeavengers for the rest, plus maybe some vlogging with the gang. Spidey and I share the account so you’ll see a ton from him too!
[This video takes place directly after the last one, as the opening bars of “Make A Man Out Of You” from Mulan play. Peter readily jumps into the fray with Clint, grabbing the other remote for his microphone.
“LET’S. GET DOWN. TO BUSINESS. TO DEFEAT. THE HUNS.” everyone shouts, even Bucky and Steve.
The entirety of the song is lip syncing mixed with playful sparring on the part of everyone, Peter and Steve both shouting “BE A MAN” every time it comes up. “Haha trans humor” Peter smirked after the first time. Steve rolled his eyes, but still laughed.
Clint is half-singing half-shouting the words, but it’s evident that he has a decent singing voice.
Natasha is doing the most playful sparring, jumping onto Bruce’s shoulders from the ground at one point, and they fight that way.
Peter pulls Tony in with him and Clint near the end, and after some resistance, Tony joins their super-over-the-top lip syncing into the remotes.
The song fades out with a big finish on the entire team’s part.
“BE A MAN” Peter and Steve shout. “We must be swift as the coursing river” Clint sings, pointing at Natasha, who jumps off of Bruce’s shoulders gracefully.
“With all the force of a great typhoon” Clint points to Bruce, who gives him a playful glare. “Hulk is not joining this party.”
“With all the strength of a raging fire” Clint points to Bucky, who grins and winks at Steve.
“MYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON!!!!!” Clint sings loudly, spinning around, effectively pointing to the entire group as the song closes out. The video ends with Clint falling to the floor, and Peter wheezing with laughter.]

hopeless, awkward, desperate for love @ilovechandlerbing
this is officially the best collective fever dream to exist

john @iwasoveronthebench
How could this get any better?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
@iwasoveronthebench the other video i’m posting is “at last I see the light”. It gets emotional and I had to leave and call my boyfriend in the middle of it, ngl.

john @iwasoveronthebench
I stand corrected.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Everyone knows this song because Tangled is a collective favorite. This was our last lip-sync of the night, and yes after this Bruce and Tony left for the roof to have a long conversation. They’re not back yet.
[The opening bars play, and Clint takes on the persona of a 20’s jazz club singer, all dramatic and slow. Think Catherine Zeta-Jones in “All That Jazz” but it's emotional. Steve and Bucky are standing up from the couch, crossing to an empty space to slow dance. Peter, also on the couch, smiles as Tony and Bruce join Clint’s singing. He seems content to watch while biting his lip and checking his phone every few seconds, he’s obviously texting someone. Natasha is nowhere to be seen.
Around Flynn Rider’s piece, Bruce turns to Tony, offering his hand to him. Tony looks at him for a second, confused, before nodding and grabbing his hand. They join Bucky and Steve in slow dancing.
Eventually Peter sends a final text before answering his phone and leaving the room to the couples and Clint’s 5th wheel.
The song is coming to a close as Steve and Bucky press their foreheads together and Bucky yawns, causing Steve to chuckle before they both head off camera, supposedly to their room. Even Clint could take one look at Tony and Bruce and realize it was time to clear out. How does he leave? By moonwalking away.
It was just Tony and Bruce left as the song came to a close, and at the last second before the video cut off, Tony leaned forward and kissed Bruce.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
holy shit do i have two dads

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
idk bro I’ll keep you updated through the DMs

Here Queer and @fullofexistentialfear
I’m sorry did we all just witness what was probably the start of the Sciences Bros: Romance-ish Edition? (not fully romance bc I know Tony is gray-romantic)

[clever name] @cleverusername
I feel like maybe I shouldn’t have watched it. This feels really private. But also, that was really kind of sweet. Bucky and Steve? Adorable. Tony and Bruce? Sweet af. I have cavities now.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Here are all the links to the other lip-sync videos!
Avengers Lip Sync! - Friends on the Other Side (The Princess and the Frog)
Avengers Lip Sync! - Hi-Ho (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves)
Avengers Lip Sync! - Remember Me (Coco) !!!Warning!!! Bucky and Steve get emotional, you probably will too

Step on me @blackwidowiloveyou
Mhmm. we all did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
Damn Twitter stop blowing up my phone.

9 hours later…
Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
I’M SORRY OKAY I HAD TO CLEAR THIS WITH THE PR TEAM AKA PEPPER

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
To answer your question, @neighborhoodarachnid: you have two dads now.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
NO FUCKING WAY WAIT I’M COMING TO THE LAB SOMEONE HUG ME I M M E D I A T E L Y

Go Away Anna @okaybye
MR. IRON MAN SIR PLEASE HUG SPIDEY FOR US

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
@okaybye THE ENTIRE TEAM IS ON IT

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
@neighborhoodarachnid cried. @fridaytheai will provide a voice recording with Spider-Man’s voice modulation.
[the first photo is of a head-- covered by a hoodie-- jumping onto Tony, who’s grinning widely.]
[the second photo is the same person jumping onto Bruce]
[the third photo is the person pulling Tony into his and Bruce’s hug]
[the fourth photo is minutes later in the living room with the entire team hugging the three. Tony is subtly kissing the kid’s head while Bruce kisses his]

Shuri, 19 @neverlearnedhowtoread
FUCK. MY FEELINGS.

Wanda <3 @scarletbitxh
So I missed some things, huh?

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
Voice Recording.mp3
[the sound of elevator doors is heard, and then footsteps
Spider-Man: (voice crack) Dad? That was real, right? You can’t play with my feelings like that
Tony: One hundred percent real, kid.
(sound of running is heard)
Tony: oomph-- damn kid. Don’t knock me over.
Spider-Man: You’re happy, right?
Tony: Very. I got you and Bruce, we’re gonna be just fine.
Spider-Man: Love you, dad.
Tony: Love you too, spiderling
(more footsteps)
Bruce: what, nothing for me?
Spider-Man: don’t scare me like that Bruce!!!
Bruce: Sorry, sorry… (two steps before another grunt is heard) kid I’m not as strong as your dad, I WILL fall over
Spider-Man: I’m not even sorry
(silence)
Spider-Man: (whispering) you know if you hurt my dad I might have to bury you alive
Bruce: don’t worry too much, kiddo. I really like your dad. I’m not going anywhere.
Spider-Man: (voice crack) okay--]

Better Bird Uncle @samwilson
You people keep this cute family shit up and I might have to come home early.

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
None of us cried. Nope.

Notes:

AVENGERS LIP-SYNCING WILL GET A FOLLOW UP. AT LEAST ONE MORE PART
my goal is to make this story VERY long, so comment anything you want to see me do, and I'll do my best to get it in there! ALSO, if you'd like to be included in the story, comment what you want your name and username to be and I'll use your name!

Chapter 4: The Avengers Have a Baking Show???

Summary:

Clint sets up a video to capture the Avengers baking by request of Peter since he has a good camera, and Peter live tweets it at the same time! (They have no idea Clint is videoing) (It's for the Youtube channel)
This is going to be so interesting...

Notes:

@human_probably gave me this idea
The basic idea was Peter recording a video for his youtube channel and the Avengers going all out. Peter also live tweets the whole thing.
So I twisted it a little bit, but I think for the most part it's pretty true to the idea!!!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay. so. Something is happening. And the Avengers are going to hate me. But you people are going to love me

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Right now, at this very moment, I have convinced Mr. Stark, Natasha, Steve, Bucky, Bruce, and Clint, Wanda, and Vision. Parental Guidance is recommended, things may get foul. Or explode.

Michaela @shellytheumbrelly
Oh please let things get foul. @beterbarker will you be in it?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m the judge! But I’ll be live tweeting the best parts as kind of a trailer!

Michaela @mickeymousketeer34
bring it tf on, genius boy

Nedward @justaguyinachair
why. was. i. not. invited.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
@justaguyinachair because i’m afraid Vision is going to blow up the kitchen

Nedward @beterbarker
Fine but i want the unedited full version.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’ll see what I can do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
And so it begins… the planning.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Bitch why was I not invited

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Because you’re an asshole

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
@youknowwhoiam DAD! The intern is being mean!

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
Boss says “Boys! Get along. What was that last week about ‘trans bro solidarity’?”

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
skskjdkssjsk just bc hes my trans bro doesn’t mean we like each other okay? Go back to your cake planning and defying gravity and all that shit.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Yeah what bitchboy intern said

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
On THAT note, the chosen soundtrack today is musicals. If you haven’t seen Wanda and Vision re-enact “Dead Girl Walking” from Heathers then you are in for something AMAZING when this video comes out.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I just saw Mr. Stark and Bruce’s cake design and I am so excited. That is either going to be a disaster or it’s going to be incredible.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Natasha and Clint’s is (hopefully) going to be so pretty, and Wanda and Vision’s is going to be adorable… if Vision doesn’t blow it up.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Bucky and Steve’s is looking good! I’m so ready for this.

WANDA WAS FLOATING THE FLOUR AND ACCIDENTALLY POURED FLOUR ONTO EVERYONE BECAUSE THE BAG HAD A MASSIVE RIP AND NO ONE KNEW. LIKE. EVERYONE. THEYRE ALL COVERED. PLEASE HOLD

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
[the photo is of the entire kitchen, Wanda and Vision at one end and Wanda is bright red and covering her mouth, one hand raised to float the flour. Vision is laughing with her. Next is Steve and Bucky, and both are white faced and coughing, little white clouds coming from their mouths. Nat and Clint are next to them, Nat’s eyes are still screwed shut, hands going to wipe her face and Clint reaching into their flour bag, evil glint in his eye. Tony and Bruce clearly got the worst of the flour, the initial avalanche from the bag. Both have hair so white that it’s opaque and flour is caked on their faces and staining the front of their shirts. They’re laughing at each other, Tony is halfway doubled over and Bruce is bracing himself on the counter]

Fuck the @patriarchy

Now, the frosting. Which is my favorite part and I’m out here BEGGING them all to not fuck this up because if they have shitty frosting they’re getting 50 points docked immediately.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Well. That went ass-up real fast

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Clint snuck up behind Wanda and scared her and all the bags of powdered sugar that’s on the counter fucking EXPLODED, and it looks like it’s snowing. Mr. Stark is trying to catch the falling sugar on his tongue like snow.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Bro text me photos in the name of trans solidarity.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m on it

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Nat sent Clint to the store-- still covered in flour-- to buy out their powdered sugar because there must have 15 bags out. This is his punishment. We are having a break while he’s out. Bruce is already power-napping on Tony’s lap.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker

And yes I got a lot of looks and pointing/laughing.

Hawk-EYE can’t hear you @hahagetmyjoke
Pete, I’ll be home in 5 minutes @beterbarker

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
[photo of a sleep-rumpled Bruce Banner, sitting up next to Tony and adjusting his glasses. Tony is behind him with a sickeningly sweet and fond look on his face] Well look what you’ve done you woke up Bruce

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
and that’s MY new wallpaper. Family thingssss <3

Martine @martymcflybitch
Dr. Stark, Dr. Banner, and Spidey’s little family gives me the most amazing vibes Spidey loves his dad and his dad’s bf so much and they love him i’m gonna cry

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay Clint is home and the cakes are almost done (the amount of ovens Mr. Stark has… there are like 4 on this floor and 3 on the floor above)

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Bruce and Mr. Stark made like 5 cakes and I’m getting the scraps. Yes it feels a little like being a pet but I’m small and loud… WAIT, I’m kind of a pet??? Hold on--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I feel a quarter-life crisis incoming

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’ll get back to you on the whole pet thing. Anyway, the cakes are out and everyone’s icing is mixing! It’s. So. Loud.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
I can hear it from down the street oh my god how are your ears not bleeding.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I think they are

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The kitchen smells so good. Haha @neighborhoodarachnid bet you wish you had enhanced smell, huh?

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
fuck u

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Bro just swing by for judging (lmao swing get it)

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
DM me

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay so Spidey WILL be coming by to help judge, but he can’t eat in his suit, so he’s gonna be off camera and we’ll modify his voice

Cheesesticks @ilovecheese
Oh man the frenemy trans bros judging together I cannot wait

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
SPIDEY IS IN THE TOWERRRRR

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
I walked out of the elevator and everyone groaned. Even dad and Bruce. I’m hurt. Not surprised. But hurt.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Mr. Stark and Bruce are building their cake now and everyone has just realized that they’re probably losing.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Although, Natasha is being very scary right now and using knives to whittle carrots into flowers so maybe the physics-defying cake falls over. Whoops--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Hi I am JOKING. I like this job and I want to keep it.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
HOW

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
WHAT THE FUCK

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
MR. JAMES BUCHANAN BARNES JUST BLEW UP THE GODDAMN BLENDER. IT. FUCKING. BLEW UP.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
(everyone is fine and the cakes are okay too)

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
How… how the hell did he do that?

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
Blender Explosion Footage

Hey Judy @judymoody69
How do I walk around every day just projecting this video

Hey Judy @judymoody69
BARNES’ FACE IS SENDING MEEEEEEE

Colette @holeycoley
This video has convinced me that I would be best friends with @hahagetmyjoke because he laughed first and checked on his friends second and thats the kind of positivity that I need.

babbling brooke @brookecooks58
Wanda’s immediate reaction to try to freeze everything she could in midair is so wholesome. Also Vision looks very wary to continue staying out there.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh Vision just wants to go leave and have a nice, long charge/reboot (nap/sleep for us)

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I had to beg him to stay just now, honestly. But he’s all good, everyone is unharmed except a few pieces sticking out of Bucky’s metal arm, thanks to Wanda

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
By the way!!! The frosting is done, I have taste tested all of them. Wanda and Visions could use a little work, but I think that’s just because Vision may have added a few extra things for the sake or creativity. He can’t eat, he doesn’t get to add extra things because he can’t TASTE THEM

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Everyone else’s frosting tastes great.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The amount of fondant in this kitchen is disgusting.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
AND THE ROBOTS HAVE JOINED THE FRAY.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Did Mr. Stark and I stay up for a week creating baking bots to help especially with decorating because every single person here is an anxiety-riddled mess? And therefore half of us are decently shaky and need a little help?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Yes. Yes we did and they are GLORIOUS

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Peter why.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
BECAUSE CAKE, PEPPER

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
WE ARE DECORATING FUCKERS LETS GO

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarahnid
Mama Spider is such a badass she’s carving flowers out of different veggies AND piping some. Wtf is Uncle Birdbrain doing? He’s watching the fondant robot. Also Wanda is successfully not hitting anyone with the knives
b r e a d @soggybiscuits
Hitting someone with a knife is also known as stabbing…

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Nah, not if it’s the flat side

b r e a d @soggybiscuits
i-- you’re not wrong but still

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Moving on… updates are gonna be a little sparse unless someone livens up this party. Cake decorating is boring and I now understand why @sorcerersupreme would have a hard time with this challenge.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Team Old Men and Team Scary Spies are taking a break because Bucky accidentally scared Clint (his hearing aids died I’m on my way to get new batteries) and Clint freaked out and he needs a minute and Bucky insisted he and Steve stop with Clint and Nat.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
For further backstory: The kitchen is d e a d silent right now because of the decorating, so Clint literally just… didn’t notice when his hearing aids died a few minutes ago, and Bucky tapped him on the shoulder and Clint jumped about 7 feet in the air (yes. Nat caught him) and screamed. He’s totally fine. Just needs to make sure he’s still breathing

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
ALSO YES I HAVE NAMED THE TEAMS. Bucky and Steve are Team Old Men, Mr. Stark and Bruce are Team Defying Gravity (after their cake), Nat and Clint are Team Scary Spies, and Wanda and Vision are Team Casualty. I mean, we’ve seen today’s wreckage.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
And we’re back. Steve has edible paint and fondant that’s already half-painted… I’m sad I have to eat this

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
THE AMOUNT OF BUTTERCREAM AND FONDANT FLOWERS SITTING IN FRONT OF NATASHA FUCKING ROMANOFF RIGHT NOW-- (A/N: in chris evan’s voice) this is gonna be amazingggg

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Wanda and Vision look like they’re almost done! Their decorating is *chef’s kiss*. Simple and stunning

Harley the Potato Kid @apotatoflewaroundmyroom
I’m so hurt this couldn’t wait 3 more weeks I wanna be there

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’ll freeze you a slice, babe

Harley the Potato Kid @apotatoflewaroundmyroom
You better freeze me more than one--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Or what?

Harley the Potato Kid @apotatoflewaroundmyroom
…check your texts, darlin’

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
OHNOOHNOOHNOOHNOOHNO NOT ON MY CHRISTIAN MINECRAFT SERVER

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
*ignores all the replies to my last two tweets* back to baking!! Finally, Mr. Stark and Bruce’s is looking amazing, and I think I already see a winner, folks. I’ll post pictures the second they’re all done I swear to god.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Also it’s like 2 AM so the cake tasting is gonna have to be in the morning. Worry not, @neighborhoodarachnid will still be in the video, he’s gonna stay in his room at the tower so we can have cake for breakfast!!!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Wanda and Vision are done and out for the night! Wanda is yawning left and right and Vision wants to charge.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Sorry, I know it’s been an hour, but nothing has happened. Spidey is already asleep. Bucky is putting the painted fondant on their cake… Steve is sitting on the floor.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Natasha and Clint are almost done with their cake too. I’m thanking everything for autocorrect because otherwise this would be unreadable

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m going to bed I’m too tired. Bruce and Mr. Stark are STILL working, and they’re gonna just turn the cameras off when they’re done.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay. I know it’s like noon but everyone is finally awake. I’m pretty sure Mr. Stark and Bruce just stayed up.

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
They w h a t

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Don’t worry, Ms. Pepper! Spidey and I are on it once we wrap up

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Good.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We’re walking and we’re moving on and we’re asking FRIDAY to get the competitors into the kitchen and…

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Everyone is officially here!! Cakes are already coming out of storage, I’m taking photos and posting them right now!!!

YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT CAPTAIN AMERICA PAINTED THAT CAKE

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I mean yeah i watched it

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
ALSO!!! I meant to add, guys, I had cameras on each of the groups so I could do separate time lapses of each making of the cakes!!!

Lorraine Pascale Hate Club @neverenoughginger
Holy shit I understand why Peter called Bruce and Tony Team Defying Gravity

Duff Goldman✔️ @duffgoldman
Yes, hello, Food Network. I have an idea for a new competition show

Carla Hall✔️ @carlahall
I’m blown away by these incredible cakes! I can’t wait to see the taste tests!!

Gordon Ramsey✔️ @gordonramsey
I’m very impressed with these cakes. The buttercream flowers are precise, the hand-painted peonies are detailed, the steampunk three-layer is impeccably covered in fondant, and the castle one… it truly does defy all gravity and logic. I truly hope they all taste like they look.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The fact that GORDON FUCKING RAMSEY tweeted about this--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay. I had a very quick, very mild breakdown over the attention this is getting. Moving on.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
First up: Wanda and Vision

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Decoration: I love it! It’s super cute, a steampunk moment. A little simple but hey, simple isn’t bad!
Icing: ehhh… plain vanilla, a little too sweet, yknow? Just edging on gross
Cake: fuck. yes. So good. It’s red velvet
Overall score: 7/10 I warned yall about the frosting

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Next: Steve and Bucky

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Decoration: I-- the fact that this is fucking hand painted, I want to simultaneously punch and hug Steve
Icing: Yes. Just yes. Bucky knows how it’s DONE.
Cake: It’s lovely! Perfect little french vanilla!
Overall score: 10/10

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Yeah, Bucky and I have had a lot of shared frosting on sleepless nights after nightmares. He’s a frosting genius. His cookies and cream frosting is the shit

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Well now I feel robbed of the really good stuff

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Haha no trauma icing for you

Cori @grammycori20
I suddenly really want to hug Bucky Barnes and Spidey

this bish EMPTY @y33t.
Fun fact: Spidey saved me once! He gives good hugs

Cori @grammycori20
Oops I’m gonna go get mugged. HeY sPiDeR-mAn!!!!

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
NO

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Nat and Clint’s cake!!! Which is gorgeous, btw
Decoration: impressive. I watched them pipe flowers for hours. Plus it’s edible. Icing counts for extra now
Icing: almost perfect. It’s missing something, but I’m not sure what
Cake: It was fine but Clint should not have been in charge of it.
Overall score: 9/10

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Finally!!! Mr. Stark and Bruce!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Decoration: i’m speechless
Icing: flawless. How are they so good?!
Cake: a little dry but the frosting helped it get there
Overall score: 15/10

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
CONGRATS TO @doctornotmister and @younkowwhoiam on your win! You get nothing because it’s a youtube video.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The video will be up this weekend, I’ll post it here!!!

Chapter 5: Spider-Gremin

Summary:

Sometimes, Peter is a Spider-Gremlin. Quite the chaotic individual at times. Here, have a thread of him freaking people out.

Notes:

HUGE, MASSIVE THANKS TO @SabertoothedCat WHO GAVE ME A TON OF IDEAS. MY DUDE IS A GENIUS, CHECK THEM OUT!!!
I really hope you guys enjoy this, this really brought out my chaotic side and I annoyed my family and classmates for days.

Writing gets me through some tough stuff, so I'm always eager to write as much as I can for you guys. It just takes some time what with writing the usernames and coming up with all the random ones and also typing out the commands to bold and italicize and all.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Alright, Twitter. Time to explore the vents lets gooooooo

Hawk-EYE can’t hear you @hahagetmyjoke
I’ve been up here a few times, but I know there are a few places I haven’t been yet. So we’re gonna go there

Bucky Barnes @hundredyearoldman
Hey @hahagetmyjoke

Hawk-EYE can’t hear you @hahagetmyjoke
What

Bucky Barnes @hundredyearoldman
Have you ever checked the vents on the top floor?

Hawk-EYE can’t hear you @hahagetmyjoke
Holy shit I HAVENT I’m headed there now. Thanks, Barnes

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
Oh god what have you done

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
I just needed to show his version of a maniacal laugh: the maniacal giggle

Handy Manny @emmanuelisatool
wtf is in that vent

The OG Spider @mamaspider
I guess you’re about to find out.

Hawk-EYE can’t hear you @hahagetmyjoke
It’s just vents, nothing cool yet

Hawk-EYE can’t hear you @hahagetmyjoke

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
Vent Footage
[the video starts and Clint has an arm stuck and is tweeting.
He pauses, tweets again.
Pauses, eyebrows raise, starts to tweet, and then we hear a voice.
“I FELT PREY ENTER MY LAIR AND I CRAVE FLESH.”
Clint, understandably, screams and drops his phone.
“WHAT THE FUUUUUCKKKKKKKKK.”
“SPIDER INSTINCTS SAY CONSUME THOSE WHO ATTEMPT TO CHALLENGE ME”
“Uhhh… Spidey…?”
“Huh? Oh. Hey Clint. You good?”
“ARE YOU?”
“Oh, yeah I just kinda hang around here when the spider instincts kick in too hard to ignore.”
“Get me out of here and maybe let me know next time?”
Spidey is already moving to remove Clint’s arm from the webbing.
“I thought I had more time, you moved in like… an hour ago!!!”
“...and?”
“Get out of my vent, Clint.”
“Don’t have to tell me twice,” Clint says, falling onto his elbows and wriggling back down the vent.]

Freya, Darling @noitsfeyre
Spidey… what?

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
Craves human flesh. Yeah, I know. It’s just the spider instincts talking. Why the hell do you guys think he has a designated vent area away from everyone?

Moriko @mowrites4u
It… makes sense, but is also terrifying. Do spiders… eat people?

Bruce Banner @doctornotmister
Not that we’ve found. However, spiders have been found to eat other spiders… so since Spidey is technically human--

LIES-el @swissboobytrap
Spidey: go away Clint
Clint: *desperate wiggling*

SEVERAL HOURS LATER

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Hi!!! I have returned. No, I don’t actually crave human flesh. I have never and will never eat another person. It’s… hard to explain. But genuinely, please don’t worry about it. When I can’t ignore the weird, feral urge, I head to the vents. I would never be out like that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
If Spidey doesn’t stop writing his notes in invisible ink…

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Imagine NOT being able to see ultraviolet spectrums

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
I will reject your lab privileges again

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
Get your ass out of whatever dumpster I know you just cannonballed into

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
Call it fathers-intuition. You’re working with Pete all next week instead.

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
SPIDER-MAN [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] (yes I typed redacted I’m extra he knows what I mean) YOU BETTER REPRESS THOSE SPIDER INSTINCTS RIGHT NOW OR GET YOUR ASS TO YOUR VENT YOUNG MAN

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
You’re no fun

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
Oh no how dare I tell you to not threaten my intern with loss of limb

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
I just walked into the kitchen, and Spidey is eating chocolate covered crickets

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
I should have stayed on the ice this is disgusting

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
I see you tweeting about it, popsicle man

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
I’m a fucking spider. They eat bugs. Therefore I eat bugs. I don’t like them, but it keeps the spider instincts at bay and I have a test to study for.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
It’s not that weird

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
Not everyone eats bugs, kid

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
But plenty of people do. Open your mind, Cap

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Having spidey-senses to warn me of incoming danger is great and all but uhh… I got dared to chug a 5-hour energy and now I can taste sound and smell color.

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
ALRIGHT WHO GAVE THE KID CAFFEINE

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
I can hear you typing from school

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Did you guys know mac and cheese sounds like opera music?

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
And classic rock feels like wool?

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Maybe I need a nap

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Nah…

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Also green beans from a can sound like angel choruses you hear in movies? Maybe that’s just because I like them a LOT?

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Damn it I’m crashing already what’s the point of a 5 hour energy drink if it lasts an hour. I’m gonna get some coffee this is fun.

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
NO

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Too late lmao

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Did you guys know birds are assholes? I can understand them now. Also beetles just want to be loved. Ants are the Chads of the bug world, they have big egos because they can lift such heavy stuff.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
The stray dog in the courtyard has just confirmed that all dogs are cute. She says her name is Tessa! She’s some type of terrier, and I love her

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
She wants to stay a stray, she likes the freedom, but we’re officially besties now I don’t make the rules.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
I think the bell for class just rattled my brain why is it so LOUD. Also why can I hear everyone breathing like they’re right next to my ears.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
I don’t like coffee anymore.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Fun Fact also really really gross fact: Once a month or so I peel like I have a bad sunburn. Molt thingssss

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hawk-EYE can’t hear you @hahagetmyjoke
Okay okay okay. So here’s the thing. You guys just see Spidey with super strength when he’s in his uniform, right? But he lives in the tower. With us. And this kid just does not look like he would be stronger than Captain America

Hawk-EYE can’t hear you @hahagetmyjoke
But like… I just witnessed Spidey one-handedly pick up the couch so the robot could vacuum under it. The couch also had 4 people on it. And Spidey was wearing pascal (y’know the lizard from Tangled) pajama pants and a big tshirt. It just… doesn’t fit?

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
UNCLE CLINT STOP EXPOSING MY EMBARRASSING PAJAMAS

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Also I don’t do the weird super-human abilities thing that often

Bruce Banner @doctornotmister
Kid, last night I know for a FACT you were on the roof when I was 6 feet below and mentioned brownies. You swung through the window not seconds later and asked if we were making them

The OG Spider @mamaspider
Clint and I were making popcorn few years ago and you swung in and said you smelled it from Queens

Tony Stark @youknowwhoiam
You just randomly lifted one of my cars last month. Just picked it up and carried it over to me because I wanted to work on it but didn’t want to get up

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Yes thank you everyone we can stop now

Pepper Potts @ceoofstarkindustries
The Building. You weren’t in uniform there. Enough said.

Bi-der-Man!!! @neighborhoodarachnid
Whoop traumaaaaaa I totally forgot about that one!!! Ngl it was scary but it was so cool too because I didn’t know I could do that.

Notes:

AHHHHHHHHHHHH this one was so fun to write, I love getting to write Clint, he's so funny. I mean, they all are. I'm gonna do a Steve one next, I think??? Like how he's not actually Mr. Righteous and the Avengers exposing him.
PLEASE drop a comment if you enjoyed this, comments keep me going!

Chapter 6: HARLEY'S COMING

Summary:

We've seen Harley and Peter do a little bit of flirting thus far, but now comes the time when Harley shows up to visit for the entire summer!
(Keep an eye out for the companion to this one, which I'll tag on as a series. Not a twitter fic tho, just Harley/Peter fluff!)

Notes:

This is the one I've been antsy for! I love Harley/Peter so much. Ngl it's basically my comfort ship at this point.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

You were supposed to go instead of me but you had a project, Bruce

Bruce Banner @doctornotmister
Goddamit

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Hi so we took Peter’s phone away because I’m terrified he’s going to accidentally throw it out the window again

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Yes. Again. Long story. Tony put his phone away because he’s just as excited as Peter, he just won’t admit it. Spidey’s crying (SPIDEY WHEN YOU READ THIS, YOU MAY NOT HAVE ANY OF MY LIMBS)

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
We’re here, waiting for the plane!!!

maddie, more like tiddie @booksandspite
So i’m spending my life waiting for this meeting huh

maddie, more like tiddie @booksandspite
I’m not mad about it, don’t get me wrong

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Plane is landing. Peter is SHAKING this is so precious

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
“He’ll like me, right, mr. stark?”
“He’s gonna love you, kiddo.”
Maybe I’m crying

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
For everyone asking about spidey, he’s being terrifyingly quiet. He’s going to jump that poor boy. It’s his version of a play-crouch that dogs do

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Also, Spidey asked me to not post any of the videos/photos we take of him/his bf, just so you know. His bf wants to stay on the downlow, and we respect that.

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Okay it’s happening people this is not a drill. Videos and photos coming

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Yes, I’m the CEO and this is the CEO account. Yes I should be professional. I don’t care because it is literally my company. So I’ll just say it: I AM FUCKING CRYING THIS IS SO WHOLESOME

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Harley and Peter Video
[the plane door opens and out steps Harley, tall, blond, and radiating southern charm.
Peter, who you can see in the periphery of the camera, squeaks.
“Holy fuck,” he says, taking one or two steps before running at his boyfriend, and they tackle each other so aggressively they almost fall, and once they’re steady, Peter wraps his legs around Harley’s waist and buries his face in his neck, shoulders shaking. He raises his head for just a second to whisper something into Harley's ear before tucking his head back down into his boyfriend's neck. Harley beams and buries his face in his Peter’s hair.
“The whole summer, huh?” Tony mumbles, and the camera swivels in time to catch his smile. The camera pans back to Peter, both feet on the ground, clinging to Harley’s hand as they walked over, his eyes a little red, but smiling bigger than ever]

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Harley and Tony Video
[Picks up a few seconds later, Peter walking towards Pepper, obviously the cameraperson, but standing right in frame so his face is visible.
Harley walks towards his favorite mechanic and Tony rolls his eyes, meeting his old protegee in the middle and grasping him in a tight hug.
“God you’ve gotten old,” Harley smirks.
“That’s it. Back on the plane. Chop chop, tennesse whiskey.” Tony says, pulling back and raising one eyebrow
“Just kidding,” Harley says, leaning very close to the camera to kiss Pepper’s cheek and then pull Peter back to him. “Missed you, old man.”
“Yeah yeah, you too, kid.” Tony pretended to be exasperated but everyone caught the sickly fond look he gave the two boys.]

Pepper Potts @ceostarkindustries
Photos!!! attachments
[Photo 1: Clearly taken by someone else (Happy). Also obviously a really good camera. A different vantage point of the second after Peter whispered in Harley’s ear. It’s easier to Harley’s face here, and he’s smirking at whatever Peter is whispering to him. Peter’s eyes are closed, and he’s looking more sober than before]
[Photo 2: The second Harley lets Peter down, but they’re looking at each other in the most loving way, eyes locked. Peter is watching Harley like he hung the moon and stars.]
[Photo 3: Tony and Harley’s embrace, Harley stooped slightly to be level with his mentor.]
[Photo 4: Peter and Harley hugging tightly, Peter’s head rested perfectly under Harley’s chin.]
[Photo 5: Tony, Peter, and Harley are pictured together, all grinning like best friends who are in on the joke.]

Steve just texted me and said that they remind him of us when we were that age (minus the tv of course). No I’m not crying of anything I just need to go find him and hug him for a minute...

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
I meant what I said. Harley and Peter are basically me and Buck when we were younger. They just walked past me and Peter was on Harley’s back and I’m getting flashbacks. @hundredyearoldman why don’t you give me piggyback rides anymore?

Bucky Barnes @hundredyearoldman
You’re the stronger one now, doll. I could try but I don’t know that it would end well

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
Humor me.

I got a rock… @charliebrown

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
You’re not getting out of trying to give me a piggyback ride, I’m on my way.

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
Disaster Supersoldier Fiances.video
[“BUCKYYY--” Steve called out, only to be met with Bucky barrelling into him, effectively cutting him off.
“You do realize I’m probably going to concuss you, right, doll? Like I’m going to fall and concuss both of us.” Bucky checked.
“It’ll fade in an hour if I’m even concussed at all,” Steve reminded him.
“God I cannot believe I’m doing this. Come on, then.”
Steve grins, and gets up onto Bucky’s back. Immediately, they both tipped over, and Bucky barely caught them. Steve started laughing so hard that he slipped down Bucky’s back himself, and Bucky shook his head fondly and laughed, staring down at Steve.
“So… try again later?” Bucky asked, smirk on his face. Steve reached up a hand and pulled Bucky down onto the floor with him.
“Sure,” Steve smiled, kissing his fiance lightly.]

Steve Rogers @cuzimincharge
So… that didn’t work

Dalia @heyyyythere
Bucky calling Steve “doll” is my new aesthetic it’s so perfect for them I cannot

Betrayal.video
[Peter walks in through the elevator, pressing some buttons on his phone. We hear a muffled voice that a lot of people have tagged as Karen, Spider-Man and Peter’s shared AI, and then Peter speaks.
“You’re a doll, Karen. This is why you’re my favorite AI.”
“Oh?” FRIDAY’s voice comes from the ceiling.
“Shit--” Peter sounds frenzied, and the video cuts off.]

Bucky: BACK THE FUCK UP MISTER BROOKLYN BACKALLEY FIGHTER. DON’T ACT LIKE FUCK ISN’T BASICALLY YOUR MIDDLE NAME
Steve: Guys, I found Bucky!!!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
No I literally do not think you guys are realizing that I just witnessed this with my own two seeing spheres.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
EYES--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
THEY’RE CALLED EYES

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Steve Storytime? Oh man do I have a story for you guys

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Before I came to the tower, aka well before Peter or even Spidey, Steve had a swear jar. Not for him. For the others

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
He reportedly carried around a jar (only in the tower) and anytime someone swore in front of him, they owed him a dollar

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
The REALLY nasty ones (use your imaginations) were $2

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
This went on for a few years, and when I… got back, I started to notice it. SURELY, though, it wasn’t my Stevie holding other people accountable for their swear words.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
And then, I noticed that Steve NEVER swore in front of the team. SO, I took him aside and asked him what the fuck was going on because he has one of the filthiest mouths the world has ever graced a man with.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
THIS MAN

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
MY FUCKING FIANCE--

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Says to me, with the most innocent, guiltless expression:

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
“They made their assumptions, Buck. I think those assumptions should help pay for a new bike, don’t you?”

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Keep in mind, I’d just come back from being mind controlled for the past 70 years or so, and so we weren’t TECHNICALLY “back together” yet, I needed a little bit of space to figure myself out.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
But damn me if I didn’t want to kiss that man when he said that. I’d forgotten how devious he was--

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
ON THAT NOTE, STEVE ROGERS AND THOR GO OUT AND COMMIT PETTY CRIMES WHEN THOR IS ON-PLANET.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
OKAY SOMETIMES I GO TOO

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
BUT LIKE-- WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?! A R R E S T U S

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
PLEASE ACTUALLY I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM HANDCUFF THOR. OR TRY TO

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
STEVE HAS BEEN HANDCUFFED 7 TIMES IN 5 MINUTES BECAUSE HE KEPT BREAKING THE HANDCUFFS AND THEY JUST GAVE UP AND LEFT

Turtle of Justice @stevergoers
Could we… not?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay okay but if the theme is chaotic Steve Rogers--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
@tonystark CAN I P L E A S E TALK ABOUT THE PSA THING

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
@pepperpotts???

Badass Queen @pepperpotts
Honestly I don’t think I could stop you but I’m also not gonna try because there’s really no harm

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
YAYYYYY ILY AUNT PEP

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
ALRIGHTY HERE GOES--

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
I am literally begging you to stop

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I love you, steve. but no

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So has anyone noticed that in the Captain America PSAs, he never really… moves his mouth and when he does it’s like a little off??? Like it doesn’t really look like him???

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Well I got home from detention one day and Steve sat down and I genuinely thought he was going to give me a talking-to (I had just come to live in the tower, we weren’t close) so I said “so you got detention”

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
And a lot happened at once. 1. He had no idea what I was talking about. 2. My wonderful scary friend, MJ, totally snorted soda out of her nose 3. Tony yelled from down the hall “YOU SCREWED UP!!! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID WAS WRONG!!!”

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
But… Cap didn’t remember MAKING any PSAs… because he didn’t

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So of course I show them all the PSAs. For science. We make a movie night out of it. Sam even comes home for this one. By the end of it, Bucky is crying with laughter, Steve is embarrassed as shit that they used him for this, and Pepper is calling All the Lawyers

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So we get into contact with the creators, and turns out, they got real creative. Because they reached out to Steve originally, when he first came out of the ice. But he turned them down flat.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So they used some of his promotional posters, a really accurate voice actor, and some guy named Timothy in SFX makeup to make these things. And eventually Steve gave up and told Pep to pull back because he didn’t care enough to drag this out for a year.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
SO, @ all the students from Midtown High @nottheflash @dammitmoonmoon @itssallyyyy @justaguyinachair @scaryandiknowit @charliebrown @notlincoln, guess what?

Cap is secretly a dumbass pt. 73 - i wish i could put shit like this on youtube but alas, the family account is the rule
Part 73.video
[a (obviously hidden) camera shows Steve mixing something in a bowl, tipping his head back to yawn.
“Steve…?” Peter asks.
“Hm?” Steve asks, not looking up from the bowl.
“Are you actually… awake? You just got home from a mission? Shouldn’t you be asleep?”
“Eh. Wanted some cookies first.” Steve grumbled, spooning the batter onto a plate, of all things.
“Ahhh…” Peter says, sneaking a glance at the camera, biting his fist.
He doesn’t even try to stop the super-soldier as he sticks it in the microwave for 9 minutes and walks away.
-- Time Lapse: just the microwave spinning and Steve and Peter at the counter, waiting--
Steve and Peter are still sitting at the counter, and Steve appears to be dozing on the counter, and Peter is on his phone when suddenly, the microwave catches on fire.
“Uh… Steve?!” Peter asks.”STEVE!!!”
No movement from the Captain.
“Hey, uh… Bucky?” Peter calls down the hall.
“What’s up, kiddo?”
“Where do we keep the fire extinguisher?”
“I really don’t like the sound of that. But we have one in the far left bottom cabinet,” Bucky answered. Peter dove for the cabinet immediately, nearly tearing off the door in his attempts to wrench it open.
Once he grabbed the extinguisher, he aimed it at the flames, which were covering part of the counter now, too, and squeezed the trigger.
The flames started going out, and from down the hall, Bucky shouted.
“I DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED TO FUCKING USE IT PETER!”
“WHAT, DID I JUST ASK FOR IT FOR SHITS AND GIGGLES?!”
“WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!”
“WE CAN WORRY ABOUT TEACHING YOU MORE SAYING LATER. ALSO, THIS ISN’T EVEN MY FAULT, YOUR FIANCE TRIED TO MAKE COOKIES IN THE MICROWAVE.”
HE WHAT?!”
“AND HE’S FUCKING SLEEPING THROUGH THIS, CONVENIENTLY ENOUGH.”
“OH CHRIST-- HOLD ON,” Bucky said, finally finding his legs useful and scrambling down the hall.
By now, Peter has the fire out, and is just watching Steve with the most incredulous look on his face. Bucky stops in the doorway and observes the scene. His fiance, asleep at the counter, Peter with soot on his face, half of the kitchen covered in fire extinguisher foam and blackened with soot. And suddenly, both of them start laughing. Peter is on the floor in seconds, laughing so hard he’s crying, and Bucky is gripping the door frame, howling.
In the midst of all of this, Steve sits up, bleary-eyed.
“Hey, are the cookies-- what the fuck?!”
Bucky and Peter just laugh harder.]

Fire Security Incident.video
[A 15 second clip where there’s a fire in the training room. The cause of the fire is not shown, but it’s expected that a machine blew a mechanism. Only Sam and Steve are in the room.
“God fucking damn it-- SAM WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER?!!” Steve yells over his shoulder.
“I’ve got it!!!” Sam yells, racing back into the room. However, he wasn’t prepared for the kickback the extinguisher gave, so the metal canister flew back and slammed Steve square in the head.
“FUCK--” Steve said loudly as the video cut off.]

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Alright, young ones, gather round to hear the story of Steve Rogers punching assholes who harassed a trans girl.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Stevie was always a scrappy thing before the serum, of course, but he was always getting into fights. One night we were walking home from dinner, we were… maybe 17? And we heard a scuffle and a scream. My instinct was to investigate before running into it.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
But Steve? Nah. He flew around the corner, and I of course, like a good bodyguard, followed him. Around the corner is a group of guys harassing a trans girl, Monica, a friend of ours. Lots of slurs are being thrown around. Steve, to his credit, did get in 3 fantastic punches on one guy’s face before the other two took him down and I had to jump in.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Monica was okay, and while I can’t say I know where she ended up, I was glad to have helped her that time.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
But yeah. STEVEN ROGERS: BI-TRANS ICON. HE PUNCHES TRANSPHOBES SO WATCH THE FUCK OUT.

I have the coolest fucking uncle ever. @steverogers totally would have thrown the first brick at Stonewall if he hadn’t been… y’know, frozen.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Actually, there were several queer activists before the War, but they were silenced by the Nazis. Maybe I threw a few stones… maybe I didn’t. Also, you guys have no idea how happy I was when I finally got the time to catch up on LGBTQ+ rights and I found out the pink triangle had been reclaimed? There were too many good men who were lost to history because of that triangle.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
So when Bucky heard about the triangle having been reclaimed as a symbol of power, we both wanted to get tattoos of it, but the serum rejects any permanent damage, and that includes tattoos. That was a fun afternoon.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Stark Industries R&D labs are working on super-serum resistant tattoo ink in their off time, actually. We have some really dedicated, insanely interested workers, including myself who want to give any super-soldiers the ability to have tattoos just like anyone else.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
It’s honestly fun. Peter even joins in with Harley when they’re not… preoccupied.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
MR. STARK

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
TONY FUCKING STARK

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
Tones. Tasteful tweeting? The lecture with Pepper? Do not make me sit through another one of those with you.

Uncle Robo-Bird samwilson
Stark, you got the kid good.
look.at.that.blush.video
Peter is looking at his phone, oblivious to the snickering from behind the camera. He sees the tweet, shown by the camera zooming on his phone, where it’s barely visible due to the brightness. Sam, the assumed cameraman, zooms out to catch Peter’s instant turn from his usual pale to tomato red.
“HARLEY, LOOK AT FUCKING TWITTER,” he yells down the hall, hiding his face in his hands. There’s a pause down the hall, some shuffling is heard.
“Oh, you have to be joking,” Harley groans.

Gemini Bish @medusaaahhh
oh so he goes RED red huh

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Spider-Man red, yeah.

Badass Queen @pepperpotts
I will take your twitter privileges.

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
ANYWAY--

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
All of this to say that a) queer activism goes back a lot longer than you probably think. b) Steve WILL punch homophobes and transphobes, we’ve seen it happen. c) R&D is doing a fantastic job looking for a serum-resistant solution for tattoos.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
So I’ve done a LOT of catching up with the world in the past year. One of my favorite things I’ve learned about are they/them pronouns, I think that it’s amazing that gender non-conforming people have a comfortable set of pronouns available to them!

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
Would you ever consider they/them pronouns?

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
I wouldn’t NOT consider them? If that answers your question

genius (derogatory) shuri19
So, would that make you non-binary?

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Uhhhh…

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
Hi!!! Bucky’s gonna take a short break from Twitter, he’s got some stuff to think about.

----------
Fiance -> genius (derogatory)
Fiance: I can see the bubbles that you’re typing
Fiance: you did not break the already-broken man (man? person?)
genius (derogatory): Are you sure?
Fiance: education can be daunting, and I honestly just don’t think he’d connected to the dots.
Fiance: I was literally sitting in the next room, I h e a r d him read the tweet. He gasped and said ‘oh fuck’
genius (derogatory): is that good?
Fiance: I assume it was more eye-opening than good or bad? All i know is he called Steve. I’m attempting to tune them out. Might patrol to give them the privacy
Fiance: but this is good, S.
genius (derogatory): promise?
Fiance: promise

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
@shuri19 no, you didn’t break me. Idk what that means but the kid told me to

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Okay, wow. Lots of tweets, lots of questions. Here are a few answers

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Yes. I’m non-binary. Did a few hours of research, my therapist was a big help, I’m very thankful she could squeeze me in. As always, Steve was a big help, too.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
I’m obviously not… the most feminine person (have you noticed?), so like… keeping with the more masc/neutral terms is my comfort zone.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Peter is tweeting for me btw… i can’t type with the metal arm and this is a lot to do with one hand so I feel the need to say I’m sorry for however he’s wording this because I know it’s not word-for-word

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
I don’t mind the kid calling me Uncle, there really aren't any terms that fit me that are neutral anyway? ‘Sir’ and ‘Mr’ are both okay, too. I’ll admit I don’t HATE being called pretty should the occasion arise. But really, in reference to me, not much should have to change. The pronouns, of course, but that’s really it. I like being masculine, I don’t plan on changing that.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
But the pronouns are a big deal for me, I realized. Respect them, thanks.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Okay, I’m done for the day. Goodbye twitter

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
(bye, Bucky’s twitter. This is the kid, btw :))

Chapter 10: Pride Month pt. 2

Summary:

Avengers Pride Month pt. 2!!! Ft. Relationships that have not yet come to light and some extra coming out!

Notes:

Hi lovelies! I think Pride Month pt 1 was a difficult write, I was trying to get Bucky's words right for the longest time, because I'm not non-binary myself, and I know the experience is so different for most people, I eventually gave up and phoned a friend, because I was this close to deleting it and just moving on to this part.

But I did it!! And here's part 2, which was a lot of fun to write!

ALSO, THANK YOU TO @well_well_well FOR THE BLACKHILL PLOTLINE I'M ATTACHED NOW

Anyway, that to say: my girlfriend and I have finally decided to make our relationship public.

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
I would be happy staying quiet, but she wanted to, and I didn’t have a valid argument against it so… here we are.

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
But we came to a compromise. We’re not giving it to you guys THAT easily. 2.5 million likes/retweets (whatever touches 2.5 first) and I’ll tag her.

“No more 3-week missions,” Nat sighs.
“Agreed!” Peter shouts from where the camera can’t see him, but it’s obviously his voice. Nat throws a laugh in his direction and goes back to hugging Maria]

@zeldahannigan hi, honey

Zelda (they/she) @zeldahannigan
Hellooooo twitter! (and hi Clint)

Zelda (they/she) @zeldahannigan
I’m Zelda, which you may have gathered! They/them and she/her pronouns, but I prefer they/them! I’m 32, and I’m a freelance journalist. Clint and I met when he was so kind as to give me an interview after the Battle of Sokovia, but we didn’t start dating until MUCH later. Our one-year anniversary is in a month, actually

gracie @balletisasport
@zeldahannigan Natasha Romanov called you Clint’s girlfriend just a few weeks ago, though? Is your pronoun change new, or is that just what you prefer?

Zelda (they/she) @zeldahannigan
I’ve gone by they/them pronouns for around 10 years now, actually! Nat was okay in calling me Clint’s girlfriend, Clint alternates between calling me his girlfriend and his partner anyway.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
ZELDAAAAAAAAAA YESSSSSS

Why don’t you get this excited about me???

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Because I basically live with you at this point, and although I do love you, Zelda has that extra trans-fam bond. But I’ll make you cookies even tho your partner is cooler than you <3

You know i’m not Mr. Stark’s son, right, Thor?

Chad (endearing) @thor
I know, but I was calling you StarkSon for too long before someone corrected me, so you’re StarkSon or Peter, but usually StarkSon. My brother says this is because I’m annoying.

I had some real fun with this one, like I always do! The next big event, as far as I can tell, is an identity reveal, and Ned and MJ start to appear a little more, but they just seem like more instagram people because it's less chaotic, so I refrain from using them a lot in this. But if you have anything else you want to see, drop a comment!

In the spirit of the gayest day of the year, @steverogers @buckybarnes, what’s the plan for the wedding?

A small ceremony, probably in January. We do want to record/livestream it for you guys, though. Past that, we have some ideas, but nothing concrete. What we’re wearing is super up in the air. Buck and I are working on discovering our style right now, something you’ll get to see later today. Clothes just used to be so… monotonous. Now they can be fun, and Bucky is losing his mind. I can’t say I’m not interested either.

Steve and Bucky are sitting at the front edge, beaming at everyone who’s calling their names. Everyone else is spread out, waving and throwing things, looking thrilled. Even Wanda and Vision found their way back to New York from West View for the occasion(A/N: Wanda and Vision still live in West View, Billy and Tommy are alive and well, a year old, and at home with Agnes, their totally normal next door neighbor), and they’re walking beside the float with Loki and Maria.]

Father wants spidey to retreat to his nest

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
No limbs for me…

A Few Minutes Later

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
I’m so sorry, Spidey. I won’t do it again please don’t dismember me

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
I won’t… for today. Never again, birdie

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
Okay… so it’s been MONTHS since the first time I ever mentioned it, but people still tag me asking why the Inner-Spider threatens people with dismemberment

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
It’s because spiders can regrow limbs. (fun fact if you didn’t know!!!) and since I’m part spider and part human, I sorta register humans as my own kind, if that makes sense?

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
Therefore, humans = spiders, and therefore receive spider-threats

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Okay but that doesn’t excuse you from trying to steal Bucky’s metal arm when he pisses you off

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
YEAH WHAT HE SAID

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
Damn

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Also, it is only today that I realized how creepy Spidey really is. And it’s not even because of this thread.

Shuri Supremacy @unfortunatelysherlocked
You can’t just say that and NOT expect us to want a storytime. (also for the sake of comedy, usually i’ll add in “sir” or “ma’am” or some nb people use “Sai”??? What do you prefer?)

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
(Sir is fine, Ma’am is much more feminine than I like, and even though I’ve never heard of Sai being used, it feels like a name more than anything. Sir is totally cool, but honorific-wise, Mr or Mx is okay)

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Anyway, we had a meeting today, just the team, no one who didn’t know who Spidey really is. And Spidey is sitting on the ceiling the whole time in civvies, which really doesn’t have anything to do with this, it was just off-putting

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
But the whole time he’s on the ceiling, staring Clint down like predator and prey

Deadpool @notryanreynolds
By the way, this is the day after the peppermint incident

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Whenever Clint moves, Spidey twitches a little, moving with him. It got creepy.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
I started recording near the end of the meeting, just in case, and well…

Long story short… - attachment
[Clint gets up, and Spidey (face blurred out thanks to FRIDAY) pounces on him, hissing.
Clint shrieks like a child, and starts trying to shake the Spiderling off of him, to no avail.
It takes Steve and Tony to pry Spidey off, and when they do, he hops up and into the vents, leaving a traumatized-looking Cling behind]

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
Spidey just hissed at me… I could have sworn he had actual fangs but no, just your everyday sharp incisors.

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
So that was a totally terrifying moment

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
No. Those were fangs. They only come out when his instincts go into serious overdrive

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Which leads to: @clintbarton what did you do

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
I resent that question

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
But I stole his crickets… in my defense, though!!! He never does that when he’s hunting me

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Nah, most of his hunting you is just him messing around. Like you know your life isn’t in REAL danger until the fangs come out and then you need to like… vacate and tell FRI ‘initiate spider-bite protocol’. Should I be telling you this over text? Probably. But this whole account existing is already a PR nightmare…

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that the kid has remarkable control over the worst of his instincts.

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
Sorry, Bruce. And Clint, be lucky I got myself under control so quickly…

Caw Caw Motherfuckers -> Scary Spider Child
Caw Caw Motherfuckers: pete. For real, i’m sorry. I didn’t think it would bother you so much
Scary Spider Child: don’t worry about it too much. I’ve been a little stressed. But also i dont always know what’s going to get me, so more than anything, be careful? Bc as annoying as you are, i do love you and dont want to actually rip you limb from limb
Caw Caw Motherfuckers: that was oddly comforting. I love you too kiddo. We’ll be more careful about things from now on. You stop scaring the shit out of me in the vents and I’ll just… refrain from touching your food forever.

As the wind begins to carry him, he shouts "AU REVOIR, MOTHERFUCKERS!". Tony starts and stops protesting, seemingly realizing that it’s going to get him nowhere. Not two seconds later, an apple launches through the air and breaks through one of the webs and Spidey falls.
Just a few seconds later, Spidey’s voice reaches the camera, angry.

Chapter 13: Peter Parker has a private account?

Summary:

Yes, Peter has a personal account. It'll pop up here and there, keep an eye out!!

Notes:

As an ex-ballerina, this one hits close to home. Dance is the most beautiful thing ever, especially ballet. If I'm not reading or writing, I'm thinking about when I get to see ballet live again. But in the dance community you see a lot of teachers with stereotypes and biases, and I'm here to say don't listen to them, dance is for everyone, and you shouldn't have to starve yourself or change yourself to be allowed on a stage if you have the same passion as everyone else onstage with you <3

a huge thanks to @hxllymayy for the idea! I loved it, really, and I can't wait to maybe go for a part two sometime!!

Posting 2 videos because I like them both and I won’t work up the nerve again for a while - attachment
[video: Peter backs away from the camera, standing in the middle of the space.
“FRIDAY, play ’Pray’ by Xana,” he says, before shooting a quick look at the camera. “This is 100% improvised, so should I end up posting this, that’s why it’s not polished. Like you guys would care.”
With that, he headed into a routine that was contemporary, edging on Jazz. (sorry, i’m a long way from being a choreographer, so I would say just listen to the song and use your imagination :), that’s what I did)
When the song ended, he was barely out of breath, smiling wide, crossing to the camera and turning it off.]
[video: Peter sitting in front of the camera.
“Okay so this is the one I’m actually really proud of, this song brings me so much serotonin, and I’ve missed ballet so much, so… here goes nothing. FRIDAY, play ’Carl Goes Up’ by Michael Giacchino.”
Cue a dance to Carl Goes Up, a ballet/jazz dance that included a few of Peter’s favorite gymnastic tricks.
When the song ended, the video cut back to Peter, who looked more than a little emotional.
“Okay okay okay. I know this is just going to be seen by like the 6 people on my private account, but wow. I need to say something quick, just for me. Because I fucking did that. It took me so long, and I missed dance so much, and I did it. I recorded it, I’m posting it somewhere. This is insane. Okay. I’m done now. If you’ve made it this far, I love you.”]

Okay okay now I get what Peter’s notifications feel like. For y’all asking after him: he’s… overwhelmed. Like, he’s ready to give up Twitter for a WHILE. Tony and Nat and Bucky are with him, I went for a walk to give them some space. Y’all have to understand, his personal account only has 6 followers, and it’s his closest friends and family, like the Avengers aren’t even following it because they know it would be a lot for him if they did. And he had a tough time posting it THERE. He has MILLIONS of followers on @beterbarker

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
He’s going to be just fine. It’s just been an overwhelming few weeks, lots of big things in the works. I’ll keep you guys updated if there’s anything to update on.

[images: screenshots of the Notes app on a phone.
“Hey, so I know that I took an unexpected overnight twitter break after my post of videos of me dancing, and I feel like it’s important that I explain why.
A little bit of backstory, I used to take dance classes when I was a kid. Like back before my parents died, I have flashing memories of walking into dance class with my mom, a bun in my hair and carrying my tutu so I didn’t bump into anyone on the subway.
Even when I was living with Ben and May, I was still taking ballet classes, and I loved them, but what I didn’t love was everyone complimenting my classmates and my feminine traits and features and trying to shame our masculine ones. Even in the boys.
Ballet was for girls. That's what I learned. It was an inherently female dance of grace and beauty. Looking back, my teacher was 1,000, give or take 100 years, and was very into gender roles.
Anyway, I’m just getting to the point in my life where I don’t have to constantly correct people on my pronouns and fight to be called a man. That fear has been there for a long time that if I went back to ballet, or told people about it, they would start rejecting me as a man, start treating me like a girl again, and I just couldn’t bear the thought. That video was the first ballet video I’ve ever even recorded.
It felt like it was going to be a “2 steps forward, 1 massive step backwards situation. And I know that’s just the trauma talking, but it doesn’t make it less scary to share one of your biggest vulnerabilities with millions of people by accident.
I always associated dance, especially ballet, with femininity. I’m still working on that, even now. But honestly? Fuck that. Ballet is breathtaking to watch, and even more breathtaking to perform (seriously don’t knock pro ballerinas guys, they’re in better shape than you). Gender roles are fucking stupid, do what makes you happy even if it’s hard sometimes. Dance is for everyone. <3
Rant over. I AM going to take a break for a few days, just because I’m overdue. I love you all, and I promise I have some awesome youtube videos coming soon.

Please drop a comment if you liked this one, and a huge thanks to @hxllymayy for the idea! I know it was short, but I think it made it's point. Will we see more of Peter dancing? Absolutely. Probably hand in hand with Avenger's karaoke pt. 2!!
Anyway, where was I?

Drop a comment if you liked this, and leave anything you want to see in the comments! And of course, if you want to be IN the fic, drop hat name/username you want to be, and I'll add you into the rotation!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
40 hours in the car with the World’s Mightiest Idiots… I can’t believe Harley talked Tony into taking a 20-passenger van instead of the jet…

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
On the roster we have: me, Harley, Happy, Tony, Bruce, Pepper, Clint, Natasha, Steve, Bucky, Thor and Loki, Sam, and… Shuri! Wanda, Vision, and their boys are going to meet up with us, but since Wanda is kind of… let’s say a high risk pregnancy, they’re just going to fly out for a week so they’re not away from her doctor for too long.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Pray for me. We’re loading up the van now.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I have never been happier about my lack of driving skills. We’re not even in the car yet and Happy looks like he’s plotting Clint’s murder.

georgi @georgijean154
I’m noticing a lack of Spidey on that roster… is he staying in New York?

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Actually, he’s taking some time off, too. He’s headed to Wanda and Vision’s place until they fly to join us, and then spending a week or two with his best friend out of state.

No, you were getting the entire back row to yourself, Tony was getting the front seat, Sam was going to sit with Bruce, Nat would have gotten 2 seats to herself and Clint would be sitting where she is now. It’s working out fine either way, though, because we all love each other for the most part.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid

[video: Thor is about halfway through the first verse when the video picks up.
“... look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign, this is all so crazy, everybody seems so famous--”
“My tummy’s turnin’ and I’m feelin’ kinda homesick. Too much pressure and I’m nervous,” Pepper joins in from way up in the front.
“Until the taxi man turns the radio, and a Jay-Z song was on,” Clint jumps in.
“And a Jay-Z song was on…” Loki decides to add in his voice.
“And a Jay-Z song was onnnn--” surprisingly, it’s Natasha who decides to join in. There’s a pause, and everyone glances at each other, even Steve and Bucky, grinning.
“SO I PUT MY HANDS UP THEY’RE PLAYING MY SONG, THE BUTTERFLIES FLY AWAY, NODDING MY HEAD LIKE YEAH, MOVING MY HIPS LIKE YEAH--” the entire van is singing now, although Shuri did throw a look at the super-soldiers when they join, as if she wasn’t expecting them to know the song.
Clint stands up and starts performing the song while walking up and down the aisle of the van, stealing a hairbrush from the side pocket of someone’s bag to use as a microphone. Harley stands to give a better view of the van. Bucky is looking at the lyrics on his phone, Sam is singing like it’s his last performance, and even Happy is tapping his hands on the steering wheel.
Peter is beaming as he sings, he and Shuri attempting to coordinate their hand movements as they sing, and failing. Natasha is adding a shockingly high soprano voice to the low voices, and Loki’s singing, the pieces that can be made out, is really quite nice, while Thor looks around proudly, knowing that it was doing that starting this real-life movie scene. Steve looks thrilled that he gets this reference. Tony and Bruce are both lip syncing, but not singing along, doing all the movements along with the words.
The song ends, and Peter pipes up from next to Harley.
“Next we should do Jo--”
“NO JOLENE!!!” half the bus yells back.
“That’s a song for later when we all already hate ourselves for being in this van in the first place,” Clint calls back.
“I OFFERED YOU ALL THE OPTION TO FLY, IDIO--” Tony is cut off by the video ending]

For what it’s worth, he regrets it deeply…

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
I’m sure he fucking does. I’m so glad I’m pregnant and can’t leave home for too long. I love you guys, especially Peter, and I want to continue to love him when we get back home. But if I was in that car… well.

Nat’s gonna take a shift driving so Happy can sleep. We’re here til California. No hotel stops.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay then may I suggest the next restaurant?

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
Sure, Peter

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Well I think for breakfast we should eat at Hampton Inn’s breakfast spread. For guests.

[image: Peter and Harley, Harley is curled into Peter, torso stretching across his chest, head tucked into the crook of his neck. Peter is kind of cradling him so he doesn’t fall in case he shifts]
[video: Peter sets his phone down and shakes Harley a little.
“Hmm?” Harley mumbles.
“C’mon, baby. Let’s go back here. More room for you,” Peter whispers, yawning. Harley nods a little and gets up, shuffling into the very back seats, the row behind where they were initially. Peter follows him, and they clumsily tangle themselves together. Harley starts snoring lightly a second later, head on Peter’s chest so Peter can play with his hair.]

Chapter 15: Road Trip to Cali pt. 2 - Everyone Regrets This

Summary:

I'm terrible at summaries I'm so sorry... I'm known for spoilers, better short than spoiled, you know?
ANYWAY:
The Avengers are officially on the road to California, day 2 on the road. Peter has to resort to an unspoken snack that makes Steve sick, everyone is a little hangry, and Steve and Bucky love The Wizard of Oz

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
I TOLD them we should have stopped in Illinois to stock up on snacks but noooo

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
We have MULTIPLE people on this bus with super-metabolism and we were low on snacks but Stark, ever the genius, said we would be fine. And now here we are.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m eating as fast I can. Harley doesn’t like it any more than Steve does.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Kid, none of us like it. It’s not the most appetizing snack

Shuri Supremacy @unfortunatelysherlocked
wtf is this kid eating

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
heheh

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Let’s leave that to this: it is not an appetizing snack. Even Thor isn’t a fan. I have an odd choice in snacks.

Fuckwad Numero Uno @biderman
haha you have your own crickets. Like how everyone is grossed out by my crickets? You have that.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Yeah it’s really annoying. But it’s literally the only food left on the bus.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay I’m done Steve take your head out of your pillow.

Is this a bad time to say that we just passed another gas station, but it’s in assfuck, missouri 2.0 so we can’t stop again?

“WE STILL HAVEN’T STOPPED FOR FUCKING SNACKS--”
“Oh I’m so glad I missed peter’s snack.”
“TONY GET YOUR ASS BACK UP HERE”
Tony pipes up now from behind Sam, “But Bruceeee…”
“Tones…” Bruce whined, a knowing smirk on his face where Tony couldn’t see it.
“On my way--” Tony said, voice nearing, slipping back into his seat next to Bruce. “Wait were Peter and Harley making out-- BOYS--”
The entire bus busts out laughing, and the video cuts off.]

emilia @pepperpottsily
Bruce, knowing it’ll get Tony to do what he wants: Tones…
(btw on that note, ‘Tones’ is the cutest damn nickname bc they don’t seem like pet name people.)

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Similarly:
Harley, knowing it’ll get Peter to do stuff: Darlin’

Badass Queen @pepperpotts
Can also be compared to:
Bucky, knowing it’ll melt Steve like butter: ‘doll’
Steve, knowing Bucky will have blush stop-sign red: ‘baby’

FINE. Song suggestions anyone?

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
I’m in a Taylor Swift mood.

Badass Queen @pepperpotts
Coming upppp

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
Oh this was too good to not share - attachment
['London Boy' by Taylor Swift begins to play from the van speakers.
“OH FUCK YES!” Harley cheers.
“I hate myself for knowing this song,” Natasha grumbles, just barely audible above the noise.
“You’re welcome, Nat,” Peter calls down the aisle.
“We ALL know this song because you two can’t stop listening to it,” Bucky added, sounding slightly exasperated.
There’s some rustling as Sam shifts onto his knees, facing the back of the bus. His camera more clearly sees the back rows now, and Harley and Peter are enthusiastically lip-syncing in their seats.
“They say home is where the heart is, but that’s not where mine is…” the lyrics sing, the boys and now Shuri lip sync.
“EVERYBODY SING!” Shuri yells, and there’s a collective sigh of resignation.
“YOU KNOW I LOVE A LONDON BOY, I ENJOY WALKING CAMDEN MARKET IN THE AFTERNOON,
HE LIKES MY AMERICAN SMILE, LIKE A CHILD WHEN OUR EYES MEET, DARLING, I FANCY YOU--”
Mid-chorus, Harley stands up on his seat, only having to hunch a little bit, to sing out loud, pulling Peter up a few seconds later. Shuri joins them next, and then Clint stands next to Sam. Even Natasha and Steve stand up, the entire group singing the rest of the song, and Peter falls to his seat laughing as the song draws to a close, pulling Harley down by his shirt for a kiss, Clint and Bucky gagging at the sight. Peter flips off the camera as the video cuts off, Harley’s sharp laughter cutting through the noise at the last second.]

Nina Zenik Stan @veraearl
Okay I could SWEAR I heard happy’s voice in the singing

Penelope @hotdogwater03
Me too! I will say, hearing Natasha and Tony made my d a y.

The Sally @itssallyyyy
I will never get over the drastically different Peter that I see in these videos. Does he have a doppelganger that he sent to school, who can hide that much personality?

Farrah @farrahgodmotherhehe
If he had let it shine through, that boy could have easily been prom king

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
attachment
[video: the opening bars to the song ‘Everywhere I Go’ by the Hollywood Undead are playing.
Shockingly, Peter is right, because Pepper’s head shoots up immediately.
Most of the Avengers know bits and pieces, but the most shockingly knowledgeable are Steve and Bruce, but they seem to be trying to hide their laughter, but every time they glance at each other, they break out laughing. Bucky, Clint, and Sam, however, are getting into the song and dancing.
The camera pans to Shuri every once in a while, where she’s reading a book while aggressively head-banging and lip syncing to the song. Pepper is actively singing along to the song, filling out forms (in the moving van!!!) as she does so.
Harley is shown near the end, sleeping on Peter’s lap.
“He’s missing the fun… he just fell asleep,” Peter’s voice says, clearly marking him as the cameraman. The video ends right before the song draws to a close.]

[video: Harley singing the opening line of ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ as he types it, and Bucky and Steve clearly see it on Steve’s phone.
“MY FATHER TOOK ME INTO THE CITY TO SEE THE MARCHING BAND--” Bucky sang out, shockingly on-key but nonetheless loud. Steve, who happened to be unfortunate enough to take a drink of water at this moment, did a spit take. Thankfully it was towards a window. Clint is behind the camera wheezing, and Shuri is nearly on the floor laughing.
“Where the hell did you--” Steve stops himself.
“ALL BROKEN WHITE BOYS KNOW MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE,” Shuri wheezes out, and the video ends.]

Chad (endearing) @thor
You were planning to prank me?

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Yeah, but you were asleep. I was just going to put whipped cream in your hand and flick your nose so you would smack yourself in the face. Not something creepy or scary

[image: a shot down towards the back of the bus. In the bottom corner, Loki is asleep next to Pepper, closed eyes just visible in frame.
Bruce and Tony are sleeping with their heads together, Bruce’s head on Tony’s shoulder and Tony’s head on Bruce’s.
Sam and Clint are leaned back in their seats, Clint’s mouth wide open and looking to be mid-snore, Sam’s arms crossed on his ribcage.
Bucky has migrated back to his and Steve’s spot, and the two are curled close together, Bucky’s metal arm on the floor beside them. Bucky’s other arm is resting in Steve’s hair where his head lays on Bucky’s chest. Steve’s arms are wrapped around his fiance.
Thor is in the seat across the aisle, sitting on a pillow on the floor and using his chair as a pillow.
Harley has moved back to Peter and Natasha, so Shuri has taken their spot to stretch out in… kind of. She’s still nearly in the fetal position, but at least she’s laying down.
Natasha, Peter’s head still in her lap, is resting her head on the window, eyes closed peacefully. Harley seems to have switched with Bucky, because Peter’s legs are on his lap, and he’s sleeping with a travel pillow around his neck, head tilted just to the side.]

~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Good morning! Most of us are awake now, and Pepper is driving! Also Loki and Shuri switched because Shuri’s having a rough morning, just one of those days (yes I have permission to say she’s feeling bad) so she’s gonna vibe up front because Pepper is listening to an audiobook quietly and Bruce is just a generally calming presence. (ironic we know)

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Quick location check! We’ll be in Arizona in an hour. We apparently paused at some point last night.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Anyway, send some love Shuri’s way, because we love her <3

I think van life is getting to a few people. Harley isn’t doing too great today, and Bucky almost woke up swinging from a nightmare. Thankfully the metal arm was on the floor.

3 hours til the canyon, and then when we all feel up to it after, Peter DOES get Jolene.

Harley is trying to steal Sam’s sunglasses from his face, Steve is craning his neck to see the canyon, and Peter and Bucky are behind, Peter in the middle of getting onto Bucky’s back. Everyone is squinting the sun, Clint looks like he’s about to complain about something. Shuri is the only one who looks like she’s genuinely enjoying the experience.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So here’s that - attachment
[video: the video starts before the song even plays
“Jolene! Jolene! Jolene!” Peter is chanting.
“I’m working on it, Pete,” Pepper calls back. Just then, the opening notes play, and Peter screams,
“YESSSSSSSSS!!!”
Steve’s foot starts tapping from the very start. Loki has hate on her face, but laughter in her eyes as she nods along. Bruce only shakes his head when the camera is pointed at him.
“Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene…” Peter and Shuri start out being the only ones singing.
“I’m begging of you please don’t take my man,” Sam, Clint, Steve, and Thor join in.
“Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene… please don’t take him just because you can--” by now everyone is singing, Bucky is bouncing in his seat.
Tony is doing a wonderful pantomime job, back up front with Bruce, who’s softly lip syncing and bobbing his head. Happy’s hands are even tapping the wheel slightly, though he’ll deny it.
Loki rolls her eyes as she sings along, laughing when Shuri tries to drag her into a dramatic duet.
The song eventually ends, and everyone is laughing, and Peter turns the camera around as Harley pulls him down for a kiss, waving the camera goodbye right before their lips touch, and the video ends]

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Yes, I know Peter and I kiss after every lip sync but like, here’s the ugly truth. You ready for it? We’re dating. We kiss. A lot. We don’t really need a reason. But I think he’s so fucking gorgeous when he’s been laughing and singing and having fun, I can’t NOT kiss him

We’re going to the beach today! We spent ALL of yesterday getting settled in, me and Harley’s room is amazing, and this kitchennnn. Plus, FRIDAY is here too! We love FRIDAY. Tony says he’s considering making FRIDAY solely for himself and the Tower, and putting another AI, maybe JOKASTA or HELEN. My vote is HELEN, I met her briefly and she reminds me of family members that I was really close to @beterbarker

I was approached by a fellow genderfluid today, and they mentioned putting my pronouns in my name like Clint’s partner does, especially since mine change often. I’m very grateful for the suggestion, and will be using it.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The amount of queer people who have approached us, not necessaily because we’re the Avengers, but because we’re huge public figures who are openly queer and HAPPEN to be heroes and hero-adjacents-- honestly it’s amazing. They tell us how we gave them courage to come out, or to tell their story, and honestly it’s beautiful

Turtle of Justice: It’s probably just the fact that this is the first time you’ve been to a real beach since the surgery. Dysphoria just kind of naturally popped up. Happened to me the first time I hit the workout room after top surgery.
Petey-Pie: probably. Doesn’t make it less shitty though.
Turtle of Justice: no, it really doesn’t. you want me there with you?
Petey-Pie: …
Petey-Pie: yeah.
Petey-Pie: you too, Buck
Turtle of Justice: okay. Letting your dad know and we’re on the way
------------------

------------------
Dad->Spider-Son
Dad: you need to talk about it?
Spider-Son: steve and buck are otw. Times like these i wish spidey was actually another trans person so I had someone my age to talk to about this
Spider-Son: I love you, though, and I’ll be back soon and then I will totally dominate you in a handstand competition
Dad: you better
Dad: I love you too, buddy

Mighty Morons

Wanda: Peter, are you okay?
Clint: @harley are you with your boy?
Harley: nah, he needed a minute to himself, which I get.
Tony: yeah. He’s gonna be okay.
Steve: Bucky and I are on the way, he asked us to come.
Steve: if we’re not back in an hour, check in with us? We might just need to cut this day short and come back another week.
Natasha: agreed. I’ll come by the bus and check. You two don’t check your phones, make sure spidey is ok
roughly half an hour later
Bucky: [image: Peter and Steve hugging, Peter’s head buried in Steve’s chest, Steve’s hand in Peter’s hair.]
Bucky: well. He can handle physical touch now. So we’re getting there.
Sam: well that’s insanely wholesome
Maria: I’m jealous, spider-hugs are the best.
15 minutes later
Steve: we’re on the way back
Peter: I’m doing better, guys. I think I’ll feel a little shitty for the rest of the day, but it’s bearable now.
Thor: oh thank goodness stark-son, i am relieved to hear you are better
Peter: thanks, thor

Watch me dominate Tony in a handstand competition here -> - attachment
[video: “Three… two… one… go!” Bruce’s voice comes from behind the phone camera. Tony and Peter grin, and both go into handstands.
“You’re going down, Petey-Pie!” Tony calls.
“Not my name, Anthony!” Peter laughs.
“Never call me that again.”
“Okay, Anthony.”
“You know what you little shit?!” Tony laughed, still upside down but wobbling slightly.
There was a slightly tense silence as the two men continued to hold their positions on their hands. Not long after, Tony finally lost the fight with gravity and went down, laughing and scowling playfully as Peter stayed where he was, walking back and forth on his hands now.
“Showoff!” Maria called, and Peter whooped, finally standing back upright, immediately holding his head.
“Head rush is no joke, kids. Don’t handstand and drive--”
“You’re an idiot. An actual idiot,” Harley laughed.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Headed to dinner, idek if its on the pier or not

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
On the pier, beautiful waterfront view, I’m in love with it and Harley and I are moving in here and getting to see this sunset every night.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Do I get a say in this?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
👀👀👀

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Yes, darlin

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’d call this a successful beach day. Thanks to Nat for the snapshot at the end - attachments
[image: the entire group standing on the beach, smiling at the camera in varying degrees of dryness, Thor’s hair dripping with salt water, while Loki was entirely dry. Maria’s hair was clearly in the middle of air-drying. Everyone was actually looking at the camera, laughing.]
[image: the same group at dinner, looking slightly more put together and clothed, almost all looking at the camera. Sam’s eyes are shut as he laughs, head tipping back, and Bruce smirking over at Tony.]
[images 3-8: various candids taken throughout the day]
[image: Peter and Harley, arms wrapped around each other, clearly laughing at what the camera person is saying.]
[image: Peter and Harley, silhouetted against the sunset, faces barely visible, but they’re obviously staring at each other like they hung the sun and moon for one another.]

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
I’d call this a success for sure - attachment

Chapter 17: Chaotic Malibu House Moments

Summary:

The Avengers keep busy while Tony and Pepper do their... actual jobs???
Unheard of.

Notes:

Okay so its been a MINUTE, but I had exams and stuff so I haven't been working on writing almost at all! But I'm pretty much back and so ready for the next few chapters!!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So we’re actually here because Pepper and Tony have to work. But I get FOMO and also anxious when I’m not busy, Harley and Shuri go where I do, Bruce is never far from Tony, and the rest just didn’t want to stay in the tower. So here we are!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Of course, because they’re here to work, they are working! Duh.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
But the rest of us aren’t. So we’re playing a TON of games. Charades, capture the flag/cops and robbers, X-Treme Hide and Seek. We will be taking you on this journey with us.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
First: Charades!!!

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
@clintbarton ALADDIN. IT WAS FUCKING ALADDIN. H O W DID YOU NOT GET THAT

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
BECAUSE YOU SUCK AT THIS GAME.

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Meanwhile, Peter and Harley just racked up 12 points in a minute. Clint and Bucky only got one.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
They made me sit this out because 1/2 of these cards are references, and I STILL don’t understand enough of them. There are too many to keep up with…

Gushy @thatweirdo
Someone call John and Hank Green. Steve needs a crash course in pop culture

Hank Green ✔️ @hankgreen
I’m on it. John is in, too. Buckle up, @steverogers

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Hashdhshfskjsf Hank Green is actually making Steve a Crash Course

~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We had to stop playing charades. Because Clint is an idiot and also Sam is Bad At This.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Next: Capture the Flag!!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The Malibu house is more suited to capture the flag, plus it’s more fun!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Team Captains: Me and Nat
Team Purple (Peter): Harley, Bucky, Sam, Loki, Maria
Team Red (Nat): Shuri, Steve, Clint, Thor, Bruce

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Honestly, I picked Harley first. But I traded him for Steve because let’s be real, Peter and Harley would sabotage the game for each other. Bucky and Steve are overly competitive with and should be kept on separate teams so as not to kill someone trying to win.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
I would say I take offense. But she’s right.

owls @owo
Peter made out like a bandit. Loki, Bucky, AND Maria? Loki especially.

Stabby Fren (he/him) @godofmischief
I’m not allowed to teleport, which I find rather disappointing. But Thor isn’t allowed to use Mjolnir or Stormbreaker, so I feel less taken advantage of.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
No potato guns for me :(

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
And no vents for Clint XD

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
You’re such a dick

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
You love me

The Official Cut of Avengers: Capture the Flag - attachments
[Image: Titled “MAP OF GROUNDS”, and a marked up printed layout of the Malibu house, Natasha’s team had the front half of the grounds and Peter’s team received the back half of the grounds. There was a neutral area in the kitchen for breaks/timeouts, and Peter’s flags/home base were in the back corner of the property while Natasha’s were upstairs in the only guest room not being used.]
[video, 10 minutes: Title Screen: “EARTH’S MIGHTIEST MORONS PLAY CAPTURE THE FLAG - BEST MOMENTS”
First clip: Nat running toward Peter’s Team Base through the trees when Maria drops from one, effectively tagging Natasha and putting her in timeout for 3 minutes.
“Fuck you, how did you know it would be me?” Nat asked. Maria smirked and pecked her cheek.
“I just crossed my fingers and hoped it wasn’t Bruce,” she shrugged, and Natasha laughed, taking off at a jog towards the kitchen.
Second Clip: Bruce is seen in the guest room where Natasha’s base is making smoke bombs. One detonates early, and he sputters, coughing the smoke back up, resettling the glasses on his nose and continuing, laughing to himself.
Third Clip: Peter seems to have acquired walkie-talkies for his team, and is talking to them.
“This is Cricket to Snake. Do you read, Snake?”
Loki’s voice crackles through the walkie-talkie. “Can you hear me, Peter?”
“Yeah, Lo. Do you remember the code names?”
“Yes, but why can I not just call you all by your true names?”
Peter sighs, slapping a hand to his forehead before responding.
“For the aesthetic, L-- nevermind. Do you have eyes on the target?”
“Yes, cricket I have eyes on the guest room.”
“It’s called the-- I give up. Good luck, Loki.”
Fourth Clip: Peter and Harley double-rushing Clint, and Clint looking back and forth between them, finally taking Peter down. Harley gets a flag, though, and starts at a dead sprint for home base. (there are 3 flags) Peter and Clint are wrestling on the ground when Bucky runs by and grabs a second flag and turns on his heel, booking it afterward.
Fifth Clip: Peter’s team celebrating, high fiving.
“Wait… who stole one of ours?” Loki asked, noticing the one empty flag-holder.
“Goddamn it, Nat,” Sam grumbled.
Sixth Clip: Soundless, Nat and Clint arguing next to the one remaining flag. Nat is gesturing wildly, and Clint is pointing wildly and motioning how the whole thing happened.
Seventh Clip: Thor trying to sneak up on Peter’s base to grab a flag, and passing a large rock. As he does, Loki spins out from behind it, hissing. Thor falls back with a scream, and Loki just laughs, patting him on the shoulder, effectively placing him on a 3 minute time out.
Eighth Clip: Peter sneaking into the guest bedroom window where Shuri is keeping guard over the final flag. When Shuri notices, she runs over to the window. The second she’s gone, Sam rolls out from under the bed, snags the flag, and quietly moves from the room, sprinting as soon as he clears the doorway. Shuri has tagged Peter by now and is heading back to her post, only to stop dead when she sees the flag gone.
Ninth Clip: Steve, chased by Maria, grabs Team Purple(Peter)’s second flag and turns, vaults over the huge rock Loki hid behind, and keeps running, having gained a good distance on the SHIELD agent. Sam runs past him a second later, diving onto base, effectively winning the game for his team.
Tenth Clip: Peter’s team celebrating their win, Peter on Bucky’s shoulders, holding all three of Nat’s team flags in his hand. Steve pecks Bucky on the cheek as a congratulations.]
[image: the winning team holds a cheap plastic trophy, grinning wide at the camera.]

maddie, more like tiddie @booksandspite
Okay so am i the only one a little bit curious about why Peter was the other team captain? Like, Nat is literally a super spy?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I was bullied in high school, I know how to get around without being seen.

maddie, more like tiddie @booksandspite
That’s super fucking depressing but it makes sense

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We’re too tired for more games, so we’re just gonna start dinner so Tony and Pepper can have something when they get back.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Also we’re going to Disney tomorrow and I’m fucking dying

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Me too, I’ve never been!!!

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Honestly most of us have never been. We’ve been meticulously planning this for WEEKS. What groups we’ll start in and end in, where we’re meeting for lunch, what rides we’ll ride on when? It’s like 50% sad because we are grown ass people, and 50% awesome because Disney!!!

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
Okay so like… I’ve been? But it was pre-Hulk so I have no idea how this is going to go. If I Hulk out on Small World because Tony INSISTS we ride it, don’t say I didn’t warn you

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
On another note: WE MADE DINNERRRRRRR - attachment
[photo: 2 huge trayfuls of baked mac and cheese next to a massive plate of sauteed chicken breasts.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Also, everyone likes different salads so we all make ours separate. We weren’t forgetting the healthy stuff :)

DISNEY DAYYYYYY

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
I’m so fucking tired we took off at 6:30 and I can’t sleep on planes.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
By the way thanks @tonystark for letting us use your jet

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
@beterbarker Happy says you all had better “get your sorry asses outside” the second he pulls up with us. Also warning: we had to put in all the extra seats so everyone just needs to climb as far back as they can go once they get in and we should all fit fine.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
This is the current state of things here - attachment
[video: the camera moves from a doorway and heads toward the stairs and then down 2 flights of them. The stairs end in the living room, which everyone is using as a hub, running through and yelling back and forth.
“Where the fuck is my hat?! Loki you better not have stolen it again!!!” Shuri is yelling. Loki peeks out from behind one of the couches, indeed wearing a hat, presumed to be Shuri’s. The camera moves toward the kitchen, where Bucky’s arm is jerking around a little, and Harley has a panel open trying to clean what looks like sunscreen out of the wires.
“How did you manage to…” Peter’s disembodied voice asks.
“Clint,” both Bucky and Harley groaned.
Natasha and Bruce are standing at the counter, packing multiple backpacks with water bottles and sunscreen and snacks. Steve and Sam are sitting at the table, staring at the map as Steve points to different places.]

Who changed my name?

Get in the van and stop tweeting.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m already in the van. Look in the back window.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
What the fuck when did you get here

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I climbed in through the back doors.

My Boy @harleythepotatokid
He had one (1) sip of coffee before I caught him.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I didn’t sleep last night I needed a pick-me-up

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
Peter you have to stop drinking coffee

Elaine Howard @lainey020478
I cannot be the only person wondering where @beterbarker’s parents are and why they would allow their 17 year old son to just… cross the country with these people?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Thank you so much for your concern, Elaine! But my parents are dead <3

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
P E T E R

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
We ARE his family, thank you very much

Stabby Fren (he/him) @godofmischief
The sheer volume of people who assume that Peter is defying his parents to be in California with us have obviously not paid enough attention to… well, anything Peter has said or done anywhere ever.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
HAPPY THINGS NOW: WE’RE LOADED UP AND ON THE WAY TO DISNEYLAND

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
YOOOOO - attachment
[video: Peter is again, cameraman. There’s rustling as he kneels on his seat in the very back.
“Say hi, everyone!!!” Peter yells, and holds the camera up.
Wanda is the first person to turn around and wave, all the way in the front. It’s a ripple effect from there, the rest of the van turning around, shouting and waving and shoving to get front and center from the camera. It doesn’t take long for everyone to start laughing, especially Peter, and the video ends as his phone falls]

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
We have made it through the gates and into DisneyLand! - attachments
[photo: the entire group in front of the castle. Peter is on Harley’s shoulders, Bucky is on Steve’s, and Shuri seemingly talked Thor and Loki into creating a seat with their arms for her to sit on. Maria and Nat are playfully glaring at each other in this one, Maria’s smile giving Nat’s glare an edge. Tony and Bruce are the only couple that are both ACTUALLY looking at the camera and smiling. Tony’s head is angled slightly to the side, resting on Bruce’s, and their arms are around each other’s waists.]
[photo: the exact same photo, but by some miracle, everyone is smiling AND looking directly at the camera. This is the photo that the Official Avengers social media accounts post later in the day]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Harley, Shuri, Bucky, Loki, Steve, Clint and I are splitting off into one group and going for the classics. I want to ride Haunted Mansion so bad.

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
The rest of us (Nat, Maria, Wanda, Vision, Billy and Tommy, Sam, Tones, Thor, Pepper, and I)(Happy is spending his day at one of the hotels) are the other group. I’m mostly here to watch the kids when everyone wants to do big coasters. Also because HARLEY’S GROUP doesn’t want to ride Small World???

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
IT’S SO FUCKING CREEPY

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Dont worry bruce, I’ll get a video of him when I force him on it for the meme

You have no proof

[video: Steve stalking out of the exit to Incredicoaster, Clint, Shuri, and Harley laughing as they walk behind him. Steve’s hair is wind-tousled and his face is distinctively green.
“I’m not talking to any of you until we get to the Haunted Mansion,” Steve grumbles.]

Buck: I'm sorry, doll. If i had seen anything wrong with it, I wouldn’t have let them do it. You know that, right? I wasn’t gonna let them do something I KNEW you would hate.
Stevie: I know. However, now I owe you all one.
Buck: Jesus christ. Hey we did you a favor. Now we know you don’t like roller coasters.

Natasha Calls Me RiRi @mariahill
Watching Vision with Billy and Tommy on Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree is incredible because he’s obviously dizzy but the illusion of white skin and blonde hair is just that, an illusion. So he looks like he should be about the color of pea soup with how nauseous he is, but he’s not. Look at this man - attachment

Fuck the haunted mansion. Snow White is LITERALLY the scariest ride at any of the parks. I looked it up. Wtf why

Yeah what Peter said

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Yup

We’re back and all going to Small World together!!! Billy, Tommy, Shuri,Pepper, Loki, and Thor aren’t going on it. The rest of us totally are, so the others are going to try not to lose Wanda & Vision’s kids

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay I am Scared™ but Harley’s face will be very worth it

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Update we are off the ride and I am traumatized. You know that part of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where the wax dolls catch on fire and melt and whatever? It felt like that was gonna happen any minute. No thank you

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Anywayyy i did make a quick video compilation of the clips I got - attachment
[video 1: Harley, boarding one of the boats to enter the ride. They’re in one of the middle rows, and Harley looks back, his face already half-scared, half-amused.]
[video 2: the camera spins, showing the whole group sitting mostly comfortably in the boat. The row ahead of the camera, the front one, has Bucky, Steve, and Sam. The second row holds the cameraperson (Peter), Harley, and Tony. The third and fourth row, respectively, hold Wanda, Vision, Nat, Maria, Bruce, and Clint. Half of the boat’s inhabitants look skeptical, the other half excited.]
[video 3: The boat enters the first tunnel, and the Small World song plays. Harley looks mildly terrified, and Sam happens to look back.
“Steve and Bucky are way too okay with everything that is happening in here,” Sam whispers. “How the hell are you two not terrified?” he asks, looking at the couple.
“Have you ever seen ‘Doctor X’? We thought that would be the best movie to watch when we were 15. As a teen in the 30s with no exposure to horror, that changes a person,” Bucky says, leaning over Steve, who pushes them back across his lap.]
[video 4: “IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALLLL--” Clint sings obnoxiously, only cut off by Maria not-so-subtly pinching his arm. “OW--” and then it was Bruce’s hand over his mouth.
“Shut the hell up, huh-- oh you did not just fucking lick me,” Bruce says, leveling a Look at Clint, who has the decency to look sheepish.]
[video 5: the song is currently transitioning into Swedish, and Harley is looking around at the dancing dolls in horror.
“What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck?!” he whispers. Peter is giggling behind the camera.]
[video 6: “È un mondo di risate
Un mondo di lacrime
È un mondo di speranze
E un mondo di paure
C'è così tanto che condividiamo
Che è ora che ce ne rendiamo conto
Dopotutto è un piccolo mondo…” the Italian version of the song plays, and Harley is still looking around in terror and what’s beginning to look more and more like exhaustion.
“It sounds like children singing some sort of cult song in different languages,” Harley sighs, head in his hands. Bucky hears him, and they turn around to look at him funny, already laughing.
“Ah shit, it does--” Bucky says, turning back around.]

Nope. Moving on before Steve gets me--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We are in fact going on Dumbo! And Harley hates heights and gets mild motion sickness. So we’ll see how this goes.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
It didn’t go well. There was light-headedness and dizzy spells. Also general nausea.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I had fun, though!

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
So I’ve been tasked with tweeting updates for now because everyone going on the ride didn’t want their phones to get wet.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
So sitting out we have: me, Vis and the boys, Bucky, Harley, Bruce, and Sam. Sam is just tired and wants to have a quick nap while we wait

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
This is so boring nothing is happening, but I’ll try to get a video of the group on the drop. We’ve got a while to go.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Also, fun fact that like 6 people actually care about: Vis and I have an announcement that I haven’t even told Peter…

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
We had an anatomy scan last week and we may or may not be finding out the baby’s sex tomorrow!!

I mean. Okay. The pineapple is not. But the raspberry? So. Incredible.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Message not at all received I got so many mixed answers. But I think the answer is just to order a few of each and let everyone share and decide that way

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay so here is our final verdict (we tried these on the way to Space Mountain/in line for Space Mountain btw so we kinda rushed)
8/18 of us prefer the raspberry
4/18 prefer the pineapple
6/18 liked mango best

astra maris @certifiedilflover
that actually makes sense. Let me guess: Natasha preferred mango, Peter preferred raspberry, and Bruce can't get enough of the pineapple?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Burn the witch!!!

astra maris @certifiedilflover
I don’t wanna talk about how quickly I guessed this…

In line for Thunder Mountainnnn I’m so excited

maddie, more like tiddie @booksandspite
Okay okay hear me out. Before you go tonight, maybe before fireworks if you’re staying for them, stop by a bakery and get those iced sugar cookies. Life. Changing.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Wait that sounds amazing. @tonystark can we can we can we can we

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Would it make a difference if I said no?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Nope. Besides making me sad that I would have to sneak around to do it.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Thought so. Sure, kid, let’s do it.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Yay!

Natasha Calls Me RiRi @mariahill
Okay, but why is the queue line for Thunder Mountain so awesome? Like, of all the Disney lines I’ve been in today, and there were a LOT, this is my favorite.

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
I think the Buzz Lightyear line was my favorite.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Haunted Mansion line was mine

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Okay okay hear me out: the Snow White line. The ride was creepy and all, but the queue line was really pretty cool

Vizzy @thevision
I stayed behind with the twins, and that was an adventure in its own right. It did look like fun, though. I have discovered today that I dislike most rides that have sharp turns or too much spinning.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Going on that ride while pregnant probably wasn’t my wisest decision. But it was fun. I WILL be throwing up this time <3

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
Definitely my favorite ride of the day

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Next… the carousel.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Nat’s excited for this one. She won’t admit it. But she is

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
She’s gonna kill me, isn’t she. I don’t wanna look.

Let’s put it this way. She’s staring you down so hard that she can probably see your phone screen. Don’t turn around

[image: Steve and Bucky, but while Bucky looks at the sky, Steve is watching Bucky. It’s impossible to call the look on his face anything but adoration, the couple’s hands clasped together. Their faces are illuminated blue and green with the fireworks.]
[image: Bruce and Tony, Tony is leaning back against Bruce’s chest, head nestled under his chin. Bruce has his arm draped over Tony’s shoulder to loosely hold one of his hands. Their faces flash red in the light.]
[image: Peter and Harley, light covering them in neon pink. Peter is leaned into Harley’s chest, one arm raised up to settle a hand in Harley’s hair, and one of Harley’s arms is resting on Peter’s leg, where Peter’s free hand holds onto it, the other points towards the sky. Harley’s posture is slightly stooped, and he’s grinning as he whispers something to Peter, likely about what he’s pointing to, and Peter is mid-laugh in response.]
[image: Wanda and Vision are mostly blocked by the stroller that contains two sleeping toddlers, but Wanda is laid across the bench, head resting on Vision’s lap. One hand rests on her stomach, the other is mid-reach for one of Vision’s hands. Both watch the sky, illuminated red by the fireworks.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Well I think I just found my new wallpaper. I legit love you @shuri19

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I know those seemed half-staged, but really it was just good timing on Shuri’s part. It wasn’t a perfect fairytale day, but that’s what made it fun. We’re headed back to the van now, I’m half carrying Harley, and Clint is rubbing his eyes like a kid. We’re all so tired, guys.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
We might have to put off finding out the gender scan results another day because I actually want everyone awake for them. And I might not even be awake for them tomorrow. I’m beat, Vis and the boys are beat, I need a fucking coma.

Well we all just spent the last 24 hours napping and watching movies. We are now mostly alive again.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Alright boys, girls and non-binary peeps-- Loki and Shuri now have the results of the anatomy scan! Shuri promised some sort of not-so-dramatic reveal. It’s actually more of a name reveal than anything, Lucy Elaine for a girl, Charlie James if it’s a boy.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
For everyone already coming for me, I am growing a human being, and I don’t care what’s between their legs, but I am curious and I don’t like surprises. And if, one day, I need to hold a second name-reveal party for either of them or both of them, I’m more than willing to do that. Actual Gender (or Lack Thereof) Reveals are always on the table <3 These kids will be so loved no matter what

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Oh god. Riot time - attachment
[video: Shuri is standing in front of the gathered group of Avengers and co. Loki has chosen to sit this out, but he has a knowing look on his face.
“Wanda and Vision, you’ve done it again! Just a year and a half after Billy and Tommy, you’re right back at a new name reveal. I’m more-than-ready to announce, after holding onto this secret for less than an hour, that in mid-November of 2021, Lucy Elaine Maximoff will meet the world!”
Everyone starts to clap.
“But wait!” Shuri calls. “There’s more! Wanda, you better pick out another name, because Baby Girl #2 will also come calling in November!”
“Oh fuck me--” Wanda says loudly, Vision’s hand clapping over her mouth before she can finish. Suddenly, Vision yanked his hand away.
“You licked me!” he half-shouted.
“Well I had to get your hand away somehow!” Wanda insisted. “Kennedy Marie Maximoff will be Baby Girl #2.”
“If it were 2 boys again, would you name the second one Peter?” asked the would-be namesake from the back row.
Wanda laughed. “Absolutely, bud,” she nodded, and Vision agreed.
“Wait, hold on--” Peter said, clearly flustered now.
“We did discuss it, Peter. We discussed all of your names, but in the end, the second name would have been Peter Clinton--”
“Only because Peter and Clint don’t go well, so we changed it to Clinton!!” Wanda interjected.
“--what Wanda said, yes,” Vision said.
Both Peter and Clint seem to have been rendered speechless.
“While those two pick their jaws up off the floor…” Shuri said. “We’re all going to try Wanda’s pregnancy cravings!!!”]

I swear to god we have video of all of us trying her cravings, I’m uploading it to YouTube later!!

“Okay, kiddo,” Tony starts. “I’ve taught you all of the basics. Now I’m gonna pretend to be a mugger, you try and stop me.”
“Okay,” Peter shrugs. Tony backs up a few feet before walking quickly towards Peter and grabbing his shoulders.
“Give me all your money,” Tony growls.
“Bold of you to assume I have any money, Mr. Robber Sir.” Peter says.
“Money, kid. Now.”
“No thank you!” Peter says brightly, smiling before jabbing his knee forward, catching it before it hits Tony. He shrugs off his mentor. “And then you jab them in the crotch, instep of the foot, get them in the eyes, and punch them in the nose for good measure, blah blah blah.”
“Peter, you can’t actually tell a robber ‘no thank you’. You’re aware of that, right???” Tony asks.
“You’re lucky I resisted kissing you on the nose before going to knee you in the balls,” Peter shrugged.
“Hold on, what did I just miss,” Clint calls from the other side of the room.]

“Peter?” Tony calls. “Would you carry this one for me?”
“I don’t know that I can carry anything else on top of the weight of my sins,” Peter says immediately.
“I-- just pick up the damn grocery bag, Peter.”]

Spidey isn’t here to eat me, so I can fully expose him right now. When we first met, I was trying to get an idea of the range of his powers. This jackass tells me: “heightened senses, enhanced speed, agility and stamina, yo mamma jokes.” And of course, how the fuck is that a superpower. This depressed fucker says “well Mr. Stark, my mom is dead. I can make a joke but no one can say anything back” and I--

And…?

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Okay, last one before we all beat each other up. Spidey and Shuri are really annoying in a fight. They quote vines the entire time. The first time it happened though, Spidey yelled, from the sidelines mind you. “CAN I GET A WAFFLE” and LITERALLY FROM 50 FEET AWAY, Shuri yelled back “CAN I PLEASE GET A WAFFLE.” and we were all so confused.

Hi. I present to you, a thing that just happened. Everyone was in the living room, except for Peter, Tony, Steve and I. We were in the kitchen cooking.
Peter: Onion rings are just veggie doughnuts. - Tony: sure, kiddo - Peter: Your stomach has never seen potatoes as anything but mashes - Tony: cool, pete. - Peter: Lasagna is spaghetti flavored cake. - Tony: *staring off into space* - Peter, oblivious to Tony’s breakdown: Lobsters are the scorpion version of mermaids. - Tony, actively crying now: kid. I’m begging you to stop. - Steve, having been fascinated this whole time: no, please continue.

Ophelia @spaghettibish
How chaotic ARE you guys?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Very very chaotic. That’s why we get along so well. `

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We had to teach Steve a LOT before he reached modern chaos levels, but he was already pretty chaotic. Hence, the swear jar.

Uncle Bucky Barnes White Wolf Sir @buckybarnes
I still can’t believe he did that.

The first time he said ‘fuck’ in front of me, i handed him the jar, even though it was out of use at the time. Just to see his face.

Maria: Nat and I are on decorations. We’ll go to the store tomorrow.
Bucky: I’ll take Steve out for a late birthday date
Loki: Maybe I’m missing something, But wasn’t the Captain’s birthday a few weeks ago?
Peter: Yeah, it was on July 4th. But since we were packing up to leave on the 4th, and Pep, Tony, and Maria have been busy almost the whole time we’ve been here. But we wanted to throw Steve a party before we head back home. So it’s almost a month late but it’s happening!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Update: Wanda is dragging Nat into dancing with her, Clint (one of like 4 who already knew the song) is screaming the words, and Shuri evidently has an established routine to this song.

Okay, I’m putting my pronouns in my name because the amount of people who are coming at Steve and Peter and everyone for using one pronouns or the other is killing me.

Surprise!!!
Peter, Maria, Sam, Tony, Bruce, Bucky, Nat, Clint, Harley, Wanda, Vision, Loki, Thor, Pepper, Shuri
Bucky: getting hard to stall here, what’s the deal?
Peter: almost done! The cake wasn’t done when Nat and Maria went to get it, and Pepper is TRYING to get the people working on the studio to send a decent photo/video. How far out are you?
Bucky: 30 minutes, 40 if I work some magic.
Peter: I’m not going to ask in case I’m scarred by the answer. But… keep it close to 40 if you can. Have Happy drive slowly.
Wanda: what Pete said. Working fast. Not fast enough. Clint fell and got tangled in the paper streamers and broke them. Tony is flying out to get more.
Bucky: disasters, all of you. I’ll try.
Peter: Sam is turning on “Find-a-Friend” for you, Bucky. So we can keep track of how close you are and how much we need to panic

Mr. Beter Barker sir, can we know what’s going on now?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Happy Belated Birthday, Steve!!! - attachments
[video: clip 1: Peter holding the camera to face himself.
“Okay guys. We’re putting together a surprise party for Steve while he and Bucky are out all afternoon, and everyone has a job. The man likes carrot cake, which is a crime, so Nat and Maria are picking up a chocolate cake AND a carrot cake. Clint is putting up the streamers, Harley and Tony are on balloons, I just made jalapeno dip, and everyone else is making other various snacks and doing decorations. Pepper is in charge of his present because she’s scary enough to make it happen in time,” Peter narrates.
Peter then turns the camera around and tours the main areas, aka the kitchen and living room. Clint is indeed up on a ladder stringing up streamers, while Harley and Tony blow up balloons with alternating helium and air, so some will linger near the ceiling and the rest will bounce through the crowd’s feet.
Loki and Thor are in the kitchen arguing over a mixing bowl while Bruce sits nearby, supervising. Sam is taking some balloons and a drop-background and creating a photo wall.
“What happened to a photobooth?” Sam grumbled.
“Claustrophobia,” Peter said. “But it’s looking great! If we have extra posterboard, you should make a sign that says something about old people and Instagram. Or I can do it if you’re busy with other stuff.”
“We can figure it out later,” Sam nodded.
Wanda and Vision were sitting at the table with the boys helping them draw cards.
“Very abstract, boys! I’m loving it!” Peter cheered. “High five, high five!” he said as he held his hand out for high fives from both toddlers.
clip 2: “Okay, time to panic. Nat and Maria aren’t back with the cake because they aren’t finished with the carrot cake yet, Tomy had to go out for more streamers because Clint fell and brought them all down with him, and they broke because they’re paper, and Bucky and Steve are headed back soon because Steve is getting suspicious and they’re out of stuff to do.” Peter said from his seat at the table in front of a massive poster board and a ton of markers. “But I’m almost done with the photo wall sign! It says ‘News Flash Old-Timers: You’re Supposed to POST Photos on Instagram. So Take Some!!!’. It’s nothing special, it’s just the perfect occasion to call Steve old,” he said, shrugging.
“Brownies are successfully complete!!!” Thor’s voice calls from the kitchen.
“That’s great, Thor! Why don’t you go see if you can help with the decor in the living room?”
“Wonderful! Are you coming, brother?” Thor asks someone, probably Loki.
“No.” comes Loki’s flat reply.
clip 3: The camera is surveying the entire living room, set on a tripod most likely, where Clint stands on Thor’s shoulders hanging up streamers once more, Peter and Bruce spotting the pair. Loki looks on from the couch. Tony, Harley, Vision, and Sam are working on hanging up a birthday banner above the currently-empty snack table.
Suddenly, floating trays of food and two cakes come into the room, followed by Wanda, a twin on one hip and the other holding her hand. Natasha and Maria follow her.
“The cakes are here!” she announces. Just then, Sam’s phone dings. He checks it.
“They’re pulling onto the street!” he says, and the room descends into chaos.
Peter dives for the lights, Thor lifts Clint down from his shoulders, and everyone else ducks behind the massive sectional, even Loki.
“Boys, what do we say when Bucky and Steve come in?” Vision asks the twins, heard but not seen.
“Surprise!” they exclaim.
“Perfect!” Maria breaks in. “But until they walk in we have to be super silent, just like Uncle Peter. See how quiet and still he is. Be just like that until we all jump up, okay?”
“Mhmm.” two quiet voices mumble.
“Awesome. Also, they’re getting out of the car,” Sam whispers.
clip 4: time jump about 30 seconds. The door opens and Steve and Bucky are seen silhouetted in the doorway.
“Hello?” Steve calls. Obviously, no response. “Maybe they went out?”
“Maybe, doll,” comes Bucky’s unbothered reply. They walk into the dark living room, and Steve flicks the lights on. The whole group jumps up.
“SURPRISE!!!!” everyone yells, and the twins clap and laugh.
Steve, on the other hand, jumps a foot in the air.
“What the fuck?” he asks, gasping for breath and holding Bucky’s shoulder.
“Language!!!” Clint says cheerfully.
“Happy belated birthday, Stevie,” Bucky grins. Steve cuffs them on the shoulder, shooting a glare at Clint.
“So that’s what the sudden late birthday date was all about, huh?” he asked, smirking.
“I would have done it anyway. This was just a plus,” his fiance shrugged.
Finally Steve steps forward to survey the room, and people start filing out from behind the sectional.
“D’you like it?” Peter asks, practically bouncing. Steve ruffles his hair.
“It’s awesome, kiddo. I love it.”
“I HAVE RETURNED!!!” Pepper calls out, entering through the kitchen. “Happy birthday, Cap.”
She hands him her computer, a video playing. Steve watches the video, eyes wide and mouth gaping.
“You… my studio. You guys didn’t have to--” he starts, backing away.
“We wanted to, doll. You deserve it,” Bucky says gently, grabbing their fiance’s hand. “It was Pete’s idea.”
Steve grabs Peter in a massive hug at that.
“So you like it?” Peter squeaked from the hug.
“I love it. Thank you so much,” Steve said for the second time in 10 minutes.
“Group hug!!!” Harley called, and everyone converged on the two who were already hugging. Even Loki kind of leaned in until Thor grabbed him and pulled him closer.
clip 5 - 8: clips from the party, Peter using the camera to get way too close to people’s faces and the group telling shitty jokes]

Genevieve (she/her) @homemadesocks
That was. The most. Wholesome. Video. Ever.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I feel like we REALLY should get back to doing actual YouTube videos.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
@tonystark can we do a group Q & A when we get back to NY?

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Sure.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Wait fr???

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Yeah, why not. Maybe we can all stop being incessantly tagged in questions. Now pay attention to the movie

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Y’all tweet your questions to #AvengersAsks and we’ll make a video when we get back!

Turtle of Justice @steverogers

[image: an aerial photo of the entire group in a group hug. Everyone is looking up and squinting as they grin, Steve’s the biggest of all in the middle. One twin is on Thor’s shoulders and the other is on Bruce’s.]

Notes:

Y'all comments make my day and keep me going, so drop one if you enjoyed this!
and of course, if you have any requests, questions, or you want to be in the fic, drop that in the comments too!
I appreciate every single read and comment so so much, it never gets old to realize that people actually WANT to read something I wrote, because it's been my dream to write since... well, my whole life. I love you all, be safe <3

Chapter 22: #AvengersAsks

Summary:

Time for another YouTube video, this time most of the gang gets together right after Malibu for a Q&A!!! There are questions about what really happened in Budapest, what Brunhilde has been up to recently, and an announcement of a livestream for a Stark Industries for a week post-youtube video release!! Whatever could it be????

Also, it's Peter's birthday, so cue a few cute tweets regarding that at the end!

Notes:

So Peter is just turning 18 in this fic, I genuinely didn't realize he was canonically born in 2001 or I'd have set this fic back a few years, but I've mentioned 2021 too many times. So we're going to pretend he was born in 2003 instead, 'kay?

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

No. Tony, Spidey, Pepper nor I cannot say anything before you ask.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Video is on youtube, and it’s linked here too! - attachment
[video: Nat, Maria, Steve, Bucky, Peter, Tony, Harley, Clint, Bruce, Loki, and Thor all sit around the common room in Stark Industries Tower.
“Helloooo YouTube!!!” Peter greets the camera with a smile. “Today we’re going to do a quick Q&A under the @AvengersAsk tag. As you can see, not everyone could be here, so we’ll message the missing ones and get screenshots of their answers. Let’s get started! Harley gets the honor of the first question, which is: ‘I know how you met Stark, but how did you get him to keep in touch?’”
Harley grins and smirks at Tony. “Honestly I emailed him and called him like once a day until he started responding, he even came back for a visit just a few months after he left. Eventually he was sending gifts on birthdays and holidays, coming to visit, he flew me and my sister out to New York once, which was awesome. He just became this really annoying and amazing presence,” Harley answers.
“All I seem to remember is Pepper saying that the company email was being flooded by a ‘[email protected]’, so I figured I would call the number you sent a million and one times and teach you a thing or two,” Tony winks.
“I resent that--” Harley is stopped by Peter’s hand covering his mouth.
“Don’t lick me,” Peter says quickly, shooting Harley a glare he had definitely learned from Pepper. “The next question is for… oh! It’s for, quote-unquote, ‘everyone but mainly Peter’. The question is: ‘How did Peter get into the Avengers and Co. group?’”
“Ohhh boy. Well, Petey--” Bucky starts.
“Not my name!” Peter interjects.
“Whatever. Petey was, from what I understand, doing some not-quite-legal things with Stark Phones and other tech. Spidey found him first and they designed his tech together, right?” Bucky asks, looking at Tony.
“Yeah. So when I found Spidey, he basically led me right to Peter and said I had to give him some sort of internship because he was the only one who could get his tech right, and he could teach me if I really wanted to know. So I made him my personal intern, even though there wasn’t THAT much I taught him until a year or so in, because it was non-stop Spidey tech until then,” Tony explains.
“I didn’t really meet any of the Avengers until… oh god, mid-sophomore year, which was over a year into the… uhh, the internship,” Peter falters for a second, but moves on. “Tony and Bruce were in the lab together when I arrived one day, and I had a whole fan moment because I’m a science geek and ‘holy shit that’s Bruce Banner’. But Bruce talked to me even though I was losing my mind. He asked why Tony was hoarding Spidey and I and not letting us meet the rest of the Avengers, and there wasn’t really a good answer. So we just kinda… went to the next team dinner,” Peter shrugs like it’s no big deal. “Eventually I became like the team mascot or something, and they’re a pretty close-knit group, it really is a family, so that was kind of the next logical step. Being a part of the family, that is. I was cooking with Steve and teaching Loki to bake and training with Nat in like… maybe a month.”
“What can we say?” Steve asks. “He’s a cute little shit, and great company.”
“Appreciate it, Steve-o.”
“Really?” Steve sighs. “That’s coming back?”
“You know, if you didn’t call me PETEY--”
“Okay, enough, you two. Peter, is that the end of your answer to that last question?” Natasha interrupts. Peter nods. “Alright. Next question, then.”
“You got it, Nat. The question is for… me again. Harley, why don’t you read it out?” Peter asks, handing the phone to his boyfriend. Harley takes it and reads the question.
“Oh-- okay. So, Peter. If you had superpowers, what do you think they would be?”
He asks. Someone snorts.
“Ummm. Okay you know Honey Lemon from ’Big Hero 6’? I know it’s not technically POWERS, but I think her ability to come up with chemical formulae using the periodic table on the fly is awesome and I would probably use that ability. But for an actual power, I think I’d have something no one would ever guess. Like being super strong or something?”
This time it’s Harley who noticeably snorts.
“Don’t mind him, Spidey’s making a face at us behind the camera. Oh, oh I’m stealing your powers? Get over it, bug boy-- oh shit.”
“паук ребенок, go cool off, okay?” There’s the sound of a door closing and Peter sighs.
“Trans bro solidarity, sure,” Steve rolls his eyes.
“The next question is for Steve!” Harley interrupts, still holding the phone. “And Buck, too. This person is wondering about any wedding details you two have planned out?”
Steve and Bucky look at each other. “Well,” Bucky starts. “We know we want to get married sometime in January. We both suffered through one particularly terrible January, especially me, and we’re hoping to shine some light on that particular month. Besides that, all we know is it’s going to be a small-ish wedding and we’ve already hired Peter to make a wedding vlog for you guys.”
“We’re really not that worried about the fine details,” Steve adds. “We discussed just going to the courthouse, but we decided that we still wanted the ceremony and reception. Just a simple, not-too-over-the-top day.”
“It’s gonna be awesome. I’m really excited to get paid to go around and annoy people to talk about you guys. The next question is for… it’s for-- Harley Sadie Keener give me the phone--”
“SADIE?!” Clint shouts, cackling with glee.
“NO MY MIDDLE NAME IS JAMES. PETER PARKER YOU ARE A DEAD MAN--”
“Oop gotta run I’m a dead man,” Peter says, jumping up and sprinting off screen. Tony had already grabbed Harley before he could stand up. Peter slowly edges back into frame, grabs his phone, and sits back down.
“The sexual tension in this room is disgusting,” Natasha comments, and both boys go fire engine red.
“Shut up, shut up, shut up,” Tony says, covering his ears. Bruce pinches him.
“Tones. They’re adults.”
“Pete still has 3 days to go!”
“Tones.” There’s just a touch of exasperation in Bruce’s voice, and Tony lets it drop.
“The next question is for all of us again! What’s something about the Avengers and Co. that no one would ever know about that isn’t confidential?” Peter asks.
“I mean… Fury told me that he personally put a cat named Goose into the custody of Area 51,” Clint shrugs.
“I’m sorry, I think I misheard you. Area 51?” Peter asks, fully turning around.
“It was a Flerken, it just LOOKS like a cat,” Maria explains, rolling her eyes.
“Oh because that makes more sense?!” Clint half-yells.
“Our next question goes to Loki and Thor!” Tony swiftly interrupts, heading off whatever ongoing argument was about to rear its head. “‘How’s Valkyrie? We haven’t heard from her in a while?’”
“Brunhilde is wonderful!” Thor booms. “She watches over Asgard whenever Loki and I are gone, and she does an honorable job!”
“There was a little bump in the road the first time we left her…” Loki mused. “She decided to play ‘I take a shot every time I feel depressed.’ And we had to explain to her that such a game already existed. It is called alcoholism.”
“Hey!!!” Peter said. “I had that talk with… well, a few of the Avengers.”
“Someone else wants to know what, quote-unquote, ‘Evil Peter’ would be like,” Clint says, having stolen Peter’s phone from Tony. The room got very quiet before everyone burst out laughing. Even Natasha was laughing.
“Most people wouldn’t take him seriously, I think,” Bruce admits. “But Peter is extremely intelligent, and if he ended up on the wrong side of things, I wouldn’t discount him at all.”
“I agree,” Steve pipes up. “But Bruce is right. No one would take him seriously, because I think Peter would act the same, it would just be a more underhanded interaction. Most people wouldn’t even know he was using them and just be like ‘Found: teenager. Overly bubbly, kind of a dumbass, likes puppies, asks about World Domination and International Trade too much.’ and we’d all just collectively sigh, if that makes sense.”
“Thanks… I think?” Peter says, looking around at the group of people nodding along to Steve’s assessment.
“It’s mostly a compliment,” Harley tells him. Peter shrugs.
“I’ll take it,” he says.
“Wow, a LOT of these questions are for Spidey and Peter. My personal favorite is for all of us, asking if Spidey and Peter actually hate each other?” Steve asks the group.
“They’re actually best friends,” Natasha admits.
“I mean… Shuri, Spidey, Pete and I are all best friends. But Pete and Spidey are so similar it’s scary. They’re the kind of best friends who are so in sync it scares people. But they spend all of their time at each other’s throats, which is what you guys see.”
“It’s a stress reliever to always have someone who’s as chaotic as you and is always willing to scream at you and argue with you,” Peter adds on.
“Working with them in the lab is annoying as hell, they barely have to talk to each other when Spidey’s tech is being worked on,” Tony rolls his eyes. “Sometimes all Peter has to say is the generic tool, and the exact one will go flying across the room.”
“Seriously. Like he’ll just call out the word wrench, and Spidey will throw exactly the one he needs, down to the size and grip he likes to use. It’s eerie,” Harley shudders.
“Okayyy, enough about Spidey and I,” Peter sighs, finally reclaiming his phone. “Someone is wondering how long the various couples have been together?”
“Oh god. Well, Wanda and Vision have been together for almost 6 years now,” Clint says thoughtfully. “Zelda and I have been for a year now, which is crazy to think about.”
“Tones and I had a platonic relationship-like arrangement for several years before we made anything official, so counting that, about 4 years. If we’re only counting official time, 8 months or so,” Bruce says, looking to his partner to confirm.
“Parker and I have been together for a little over a year now,” Harley adds.
“Ria and I got together… Christmas 2018, so almost 3 years,” Nat says after a minute. Maria nods.
“Steve and I--” Bucky begins.
“Can I guess first?” Peter asks, interrupting. At Bucky’s nod, he guesses. “78 years.”
“You’re not… insanely far off, I don’t think. We got together in what, Steve, March of ‘34?” Bucky asks, turning to their fiance.
“That sounds close. ‘34 is for sure right, give or take a month or so,” Steve agreed.
“No, I remember it was right after my birthday, because you were sick on my birthday so I went over to see you once you were better and you gave me that note.”
“What note-- oh god,” Steve sighs.
“What note?” Nat asks, leaning forward with a smirk.
“It was the love confession of the century,” Bucky laughs as Steve buries his head in their shoulder. “It was sweet, I don’t have it anymore, but I practically had it memorized. It was in my pack, which I haven’t seen since the last time I was at camp in ‘43.”
“Going back to how long we’ve been together, which was March of 1934 to today, that’s just over 87 years,” Steve says, still slightly red as he retreats from his hiding place in his partner’s shoulder.
“Ewww you’re old,” Peter jeers playfully at the pair. Bucky sticks their tongue out at him.
“I think this is our final question for the day,” Peter says. “I’ll text a few other people and add those screenshots, too, but this is it for the people right here. It’s for Nat and Clint. ‘What happened in Budapest?’ is the question. That’s a good one, because they always mention it, but none of us know.”
“I mean, we could tell you,” Clint said.
“But we’d have to kill you,” Nat smirked. Everyone stared at them.
“Okay, so that concludes this video, right, Peter?” Bruce asked, breaking the silence.
“Absolutely! After we say goodbye, I’ll include some screenshots, but that’s really it from us in this video! Say goodbye, Avengers and Co!!!” Peter said. The group waved at the camera, and it went dark.
(insert screenshots from text messages between Peter and other non-present Avengers and Co.)
An outro song plays as the video ends.]

So… how did you guys like the video?

That was… maybe the best youtube video i have EVER seen

I’m glad to hear Valkyrie is doing well, she’s amazing

owls @owo
I’m sorry, is anyone else going to comment on the fact that Steve and Bucky have been together for 87 years?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I gave them some shit for it, but honestly it amazes me. It also puts into perspective how long they were in their respective situations. They were together for nearly 10 years BEFORE everything, and they’ve been back together for coming up on 5 more years, so that’s only 15 actual years of dating. They just didn’t break up in the interlude.

Drop a comment if you enjoyed this chapter!! I had a little bit of a hard time with this one, I'm historically bad at coming up with questions and had to take a break to work on a different fic, which is mostly done and I will be publishing soon!!! But... probably no more Q&As for a while.
If you want to be a part of this fic, comment what you want your name/username to be, and if you have any ideas, comment those too! I may not work them in right away, but it should be very soon!!!
Sending positive vibes and love your way <3

I was never into businesses or press conferences before SI or the Avengers… but I’m sitting on the livestream waiting with bated breath for something to happen.

Official Stark Industries @starkindustries
Here’s the link to our live press conference - live.starkindustries.org

 

---------------------
↓↓↓Live Conference Stream↓↓↓

The camera has a perfect view of the stage set up in the SI atrium, the tops of the heads of the crowd just visible. Polite clapping breaks out as none other than Tony Stark and Steve Rogers step out onto the stage, taking their seats at the table. Slowly all the seats are filled, including but not limited to Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Pepper Potts, Natasha Romanov, Harley Keener, King T’Challa, Princess Shuri, and Bucky Barnes. The final person to enter from the wings is Spider-Man, taking a seat in the very middle of the table. Tony on his right and Steve on his left. But one chair remains open.
“Thank you so much for coming,” Pepper begins. “We know that none of you are quite sure why you’re here, we never released the topic of this conference. We do have our reasons, as I’m sure you’ll come to understand in the next few minutes. Mainly, we wanted to avoid harassment of our employees and inner circle. I’m going to go ahead and announce that we have not one but two announcements to make this afternoon. Before I give the floor to Mr. Stark, are there any questions?”
One reporter’s hand goes up and Pepper nods at them.
“Mr. Stark’s intern, Parker, right? He seems to be missing from this panel. Everyone has been under the impression that he’s vital to the company. And there’s one empty seat. I would assume that’s for him. Was he a no-show?” the journalist asks.
“Peter? He’ll be just a few minutes late, he had a prior arrangement,” Pepper answers. “Nothing else? Wonderful. Well then, I’m going to ask that you look to Mr. Stark, and please hold all questions until the end of the first announcement,” Pepper says, and then looks to Tony, who clears his throat.
“Well, let me start off by welcoming you all here today! Very high profile events, these conferences. I hope you all find them entertaining, because truly they get very old for me, but I guess it’s a perspective thing,” Tony starts, seeming to bask in the moment, where he had everyone hanging on his every word. “I guess I’ll be starting with the first announcement of this conference. Which would be… well, I’ll give Spidey the floor for this one,” the billionaire pauses, glancing at Spider-Man, who takes a breath.
“Which would be to reveal my identity,” he said, and the entire panel nodded. Most of the room gasped, just a little. “Which, hey, easier said than done. It’s nerve-wracking. There were a few legal hoops to jump through. But at the end of the day, I’m terrible at secrets, and I get a million and one questions about who I really am, my friends and I get a laugh out of it. Hence, conference. So, before I reveal who I am, take off my mask for the first time in public, I’m gonna do something kind of weird, because I want you guys to believe me, I don’t want to be branded a liar or a patsy for the real Spidey.”
With that, Spider-Man stands and walks to the back wall, up the wall, and stands on the ceiling.
“So hey, if you don’t believe me now, I don’t know what to say. But uhhh… okay.” Spidey says, and taps his watch, his suit retracting to show an impeccable suit, but no shoes. “Excuse my lack of shoes. Harder to stick to the ceiling with them on, especially those weird dress shoes. Too stiff. Okay, okay, the looks I’m getting are telling me that I’ve kept you waiting long enough. So… yeah, okay.” and then Spider-Man pulls off his mask. Flashes go off in all directions, blocking the streaming camera’s view, but when it clears, Peter Parker is upside down and laughing. “You guys should see your own faces. Honest raise of hands, who called it?”
About a quarter of the room raises their hands, and of course the entire panel does.
“Oh put your hands down, you losers. Obviously you knew,” Peter says, turning and walking back down to the floor, taking his seat once more, sliding his feet into some loafers as he walks. “Now, I assume Pep is alright with me opening up the floor for a few questions?” he asks, looking at the CEO, who nods toward him. “Perfect! So yeah. Ask away! In an orderly form of course.”
“Peter, why did you choose now to identify yourself?” one reporter asks.
“Well, I just turned 18 a week ago! Legally I can do whatever I want now, no parental consent necessary. Which was always a… well, it was an awkward conversation when they needed my parents’ consent. But also, we had to make a few deals with law enforcement and the government and I had to officially sign the Accords, which makes me an Avenger too! But don’t worry, that wasn’t the other announcement. Just stuff that had to happen. Even if I wanted to reveal who I really was sooner, this was as soon as it could have been since we had to do this the legal way,” Peter explains.
“You’re a very popular Twitter user on your personal account, and Spider-Man’s profile also has a massive following. You created a whole personality around him. Spider-Man is more aggressive than you tend to come across on your personal account. Do you consider Spidey to be your alter ego, or just a part of your personality you handed over to the hero for the time being?”
“That’s a fantastic question and I love it. First of all, not to be That Teenager, but you should check out my Twitter. Weird stuff goes down, it’s entertaining. Second of all, yeah, I always made Spidey out to be more of a dick. Can I say that, Pep?” Peter pauses, looking to Pepper for approval.
“You’re allowed to curse, Peter,” Tony says, beating her to it, but she still nods.
“Great! Being overly-formal is annoying. Anyway, yeah, Spidey was always more of a dick than I was on my personal account. But if you compare us, you’ll find that we’re really the exact same person, it’s just how we express ourselves online. We both use chaos and humor as our main form of communication, I’m just nicer about it, or I add flowery words to seem less blunt. I always tweeted/instagrammed Spidey when I felt the need to be blunt and just say things. In real life, I’m a lot closer to what you see on my personal account, just a disaster who loves his family and his boyfriend and spends more time joking around than being serious. But we all need to let off steam sometimes, right? To answer your question simply, Spidey and I are the same person, I just had to figure out a way to separate us in my own head. Like you said, I just handed part of my personality over to him for the time being to draw a distinct line between us. My main goal for the past 4 years was just to not be discovered.”
“Spider-Man is widely known to call Mr. Stark “dad”, and uses family names for the other Avengers, too. It can only be assumed that you do that as well, correct?”
“Absolutely!” Peter exclaims. “I’m so happy someone brought that up! Now it won’t be as weird when I finally start calling Tony “dad” on social media! I’ve been calling him dad for a little over two years now. I call some of them names, but not all of them. Of course we have Aunt Nat and Uncle Steve, Uncle Clint and Aunt Pepper. I do call Carol Danvers “Aunt Carol” when I see her, sometimes. Tried to call Sam “Uncle Sam” but that felt weird. But Bucky is always just Bucky, they hated being called “Uncle” way before they came out as non-binary. Maria, Fury, Thor, Loki, they’re all just their names. I tried to call Fury “Uncle Nick”. But it was only one time. And Bruce is Bruce, for now. Who knows what the future holds? The important one, and the first one, was always dad. I had to jump that hurdle before I could brave the others,” he explains.
“There are plenty of exchanges between you and your partner or the other Avengers where you and Spidey are referred to as completely separate entities. How did they discern who was who?”
“I mean, some of that was just a 50/50 deal. If dad was talking about a conversation with me, sometimes he would just say “then Spidey said” and give his response and then say that I responded to that. If that makes sense. Some of it was straight up lying. We realized that people got suspicious if we stopped mentioning one of us for too long, so we made shit up. The things that happened were always real, but Spidey didn’t always have an individual part in them. We tried to avoid that, of course. I hate lying. Again. Hence, conference.”
“What came first?” asks another reporter. “Your spider bite or your internship at Stark Industries?”
“My spider bite came about 6 months before my internship. The other Avenger’s and I did a Question-and-Answer on YouTube last week that asked how I, as Peter, became a part of the group, and we basically said that my dad met Spidey first, and Spidey led him to me, because we worked together. That was technically true. Dad and I first ran into each other when I was working as Spidey, before the official suit was a thing, but I had already made a prototype of the mask. It took a few times of us meeting for me to admit that I was doing all my own tech, and it didn’t take long for dad to realize I needed an actual lab to work with. So when I got there, I took off my mask. Spidey led dad to Peter. We just kinda left out that Spidey and I were the same person all along.”
“We only have time for two more questions,” Pepper interjects. “And then we need to move on to the second announcement.”
“What led you to want to fight crime? You could have just kept your abilities a secret and done nothing. Was there any reason you decided against that?” one reporter asks eagerly after a nod from the young hero a moment later.
“Actually,” Peter says with a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “That was originally the plan. I’d just decided to keep Spidey under wraps when my Uncle Ben was shot and killed in a robbery. It didn’t take long for me to reverse my decision. Uncle Ben was my father before Tony and after my real dad. He was my favorite person in the world, and his death shattered me. My aunt and I both had a really rough time, and once I got over the initial shock of his being gone, I knew that I couldn’t sit by when the next person who died in a robbery could be someone else’s Uncle Ben. Or their cousin, brother, husband, mother, whatever. It didn’t matter to me who they were, I just didn’t want any more innocent people to die preventable deaths. That was when I decided to become that Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man that the papers just loved to shit on for those first few months,” Peter explained. “Okay, last question,” he said, nodding at the last reporter.
“Do you live permanently here at the Tower? If you do, how did your guardian, you mentioned your Aunt? How did your guardian react to your moving in? Is she aware of your superhero double life?”
Peter shifts uncomfortably, his whole body going taut and looking as if he’s considering his answer very carefully. Suddenly, Harley coughs loudly, and everyone, Peter included, looks at him. He catches Peter’s eye, and Peter relaxes again after a second. Harley mouths something that the cameras don’t catch, and Peter has a ghost of a smile on his face as he turns around, schooling his features again.
“I’ve been living permanently at Stark Tower for 2 years now, actually. Dad took legal guardianship of me after Aunt May died in 2019. She did know that I was Spider-Man, and she was really supportive. She took the news really well, said she always knew I was up to something. She was just glad it wasn’t clubbing and drinking and shit,” Peter laughed. “I was basically living with May on weekdays, and every other weekend I would stay at the Tower, so I had my own room and everything. She was a nurse, and some nights she would call me while I was patrolling and say that she was working late, and to just stay with Tony, because there’s no point in going home when I already have a bed there and she wouldn’t be in til nearly sunrise,” Peter reminisces, suddenly catching himself. “I’m sorry. I already answered your question, really. Yes, I live here permanently. My guardian when I officially moved in was Tony, and he was… well. We were all shocked that I had to. And I would hope that dad is aware of my double life.”
Peter falls silent again, and Pepper clears her throat.
“Our other announcement is the reason I’m here at all, since it has to do with Stark Industries. Mr. Stark and I have been making some big behind-the-scenes decisions in the past year. This one is so under wraps that only 7 people know about the entire deal,” Pepper begins.
“In hindsight, we really should have eased our co-workers into this,” Tony interjects, and all the heads (except Pepper) at the table turn towards him.
“Well. Okay. Yes. However, Mr. Stark and I are here to announce who we will be choosing to succeed us when we retire from SI.”
“Or die,” Tony adds. “Whatever comes first.”
“Whatever comes first,” Pepper agrees, sending a dirty look toward her friend that very clearly tells him to shut up. Which he does. “The only people who were fully aware of this deal are Mr. Stark and I, our respective successors, and a handful of lawyers who handled paperwork.”
Other people at the table are sending glaces at one another, Maria and Fury even whispering a quick exchange.
“Both of these young men have proved themselves extremely capable in the past year,” Pepper continues. “And should anything happen to one of us, they will be more than ready to take on SI and all of its dealings. Unlike Tony and I, they won’t run one part of the business each, but share the entire thing, because they both have a mind for business and inventions alike.”
“So,” Tony takes over smoothly. “We’d like to announce our successors, Harley James Keener and Peter Benjamin Parker.”
The gasp is loud this time, because the entire table joins the crowd, unable to contain themselves. Nat reaches to either side of her to close Clint and Maria’s mouths where they’ve dropped open. Shuri is whispering furiously at Harley, who’s just smiling. Steve is just looking at Peter, who’s laughing at the bug-eyed stare.
Once the entire room is recomposed, Harley and Peter, who have moved to sit together with their predecessors, clear their throats.
“We’re only going to take a few questions right now,” Harley announces, nodding at the frontmost reporter.
“How long have you known you were the chosen ones, so to speak?” the person asks.
“Chosen Ones. I like that,” Peter grins. “Well… dad threw out the idea a few years ago as a joke, before Harley and I even met. Harley has, apparently, always had a mind for business. I used to not, inventing was the only route for me. But as the years carried on, and especially having Harley here recently, we’ve both proved that we have minds for both, and would rather just run the company together. I only found out this was going to be, like, an official thing 6 months ago, and I was told that Harley was the other successor and we couldn’t tell anyone.”
“My mom and sister didn’t even know until this morning when I called them. With permission of course,” Harley added, smiling as he nodded toward another reporter.
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but you two are a couple, yes? What happens if you two decide to break up?”
“That’s easy,” Peter says, smirking under Harley’s glance. “We won’t. I’m sure someone out there will brand us as silly kids who haven’t experienced real life yet, but I am totally confident that Harley Keener is it for me. We’re a perfect match, and not to be a sap in front of about a million people, but I’m going to marry that boy one day. Don’t worry about the future of SI if we break up,” Peter says simply. “Because it won’t happen.”
“You could chalk this up to naivety,” Harley adds. “But it’s not. Nothing fits for me in my life better than Peter does. We’ve always been perfectly in sync, and that won’t ever change.”
“Final question, please!” Pepper says quickly as Peter nods toward another reporter.
“Is there anything you’ll change about the way SI is run?”
“We haven’t discussed that yet,” Peter admits. “But if you’re asking if we’re going to begin mass weapons production again, your answer is absolutely not. Never again will Stark Industries create weapons for the government,” Peter says in a firm voice.
“As far as how things are run here in the Tower, I doubt that anything will change. Tony and Pepper have done a magnificent job with this company, and we love how this company is run,” Harley says. There’s a pause before Pepper begins speaking.
“I think that concludes today’s press conference between the Avengers and Stark Industries. Thank you so much for your time, your attention, your questions, and your good reactions to our news! Hopefully we won’t have to hold another massive press conference like this for a very long time. Have a wonderful day, everyone!” Pepper says, and the people at the table rise and exit, Fury and Maria first and Tony, Pepper, Peter and Harley last.

this livestream has ended.

Don’t worry, we weren’t informed either

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Fun fact: right after we left the stage, Shuri tackled me and started crying and congratulating me. Also, Thor and Loki, who were in the penthouse, hugged us both and I got to sit on Thor’s shoulders. ALSO: Bruce (who doesn’t like hugs) actually hugged both of us and told us he was proud of us.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh my god I can shitpost about being bored in meetings now!!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
GUYS I HAVE BEEN SO BORED IN THOSE MEETINGS

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Congratulations again to Harley and Pete. They deserve everything coming to them

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
That verbiage indicates we’re going to pay for not telling them

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Yes, yes it does

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
I wasn’t informed either. In a weak moment I did agree to help. I don’t think I regret it.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Goddammit they turned pops to the dark side.

Dad??? @drbrucebanner
They turned… who??

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Shit.

Notes:

Alright, it's out there! Poor Peter is going to be the center of attention for pretty my the next forever, and Harley isn't far behind him.
Drop a comment if you enjoyed this! I had a lot of fun writing this press conference, I tend to talk using a lot of words, just like Peter answers the questions, so I felt like I didn't have to hold back as much when having the characters explain and speak.
If you have any ideas or you want to be included in the fic, feel free to drop any of that in the comments as well!
Sending love and good vibes your way, and happy Pride Month to all my fellow LGBTQ+ babes <3

Chapter 24: The Swear Jar

Summary:

The gang decides that the entire month of September would be a wonderful time to incorporate a swear jar! Because of that, Peter breaks out some... interesting insults.
Also: the old AcaDec gang has NO idea about the press conference due to schedule conflictions. Obviously that's going to go over well...

Notes:

huge thanks to @SabertoothedCat for the swear jar idea, and pretty much every creative curse Peter used

Fun Fact: this fic is on a google doc and so far it's well over 150 pages long! Sometimes a family member will walk by and see me scrolling rapidly to make sure I'm not creating a plot hole and ask how long the doc is and what I'm doing, and that's a fun conversation that does not at all include me telling them the truth lmaoooo

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

[video: a security video of the living room. Peter, Harley, Bucky and Clint are spread out on the floor in front of the coffee table that sits in front of the couch. After a few seconds, Steve crosses into the view of the camera, entering the living room.
“How’s it going?” he asks. All four men immediately break out into frustrated recounts.
“Fucking Spidey jostled me with his elbow--” Clint groans.
“I did not! You’re just a sore loser--” Peter protests.
“You both suck--” Harley snarks, eyes still intent on the screen.
“Bucky keeps winning, that metal arm is just unfair, superhuman reflexes,” Clint whines.
“I’m sorry I asked,” Steve laughs, eyes on the tv as he walks behind them. Suddenly, he rams his three smallest toes into the table leg and slaps a palm over his mouth. “Motherfucking--” he starts, and immediately the other boys start whooping and yelling.
“GODDAMN, ROGERS, YOU KISS YOUR PARTNER WITH THAT MOUTH?!” Clint yells.
“SOAP FOR YOU MISTER, RIGHT NOW!!!” Peter is half shouting, half laughing.
“OKAY MR. RIGHTEOUS I SEE YOU--” Harley’s eyebrows are almost in his hair. Bucky is on his back, wheezing and laughing.
About halfway through that ordeal, Bruce steps foot in the room, pauses, and walks right back out, shaking his head.
When all the yelling is over, Steve limps angrily from the room, laughter following him from the room.]

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Hope no one else needed to shun a partner to the couch tonight, or else they’ll have to get real cozy with Buck…

Zelda (they/she) @zeldahannigan
Funny you should mention it. Hope @clintbarton and Buck don’t mind getting cozy.

-------------------------
Buckaroo -> Doll
Buckaroo: just so we’re clear-- I’m sleeping on the floor in the room, yes?
Doll: and risk you punching Clint if you have a nightmare? Obviously
Buckaroo: cool. I can deal with that.
Doll: good.

Oh lord the swear jar took effect 15 minutes ago and Uncle Steve already said “gosh darn it”

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
OBVIOUSLY I will dominate at this because I’m me and I’m awesome.

Pops??? @drbrucebanner
Considering the fact that Steve just said “gosh diddly dang it”--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
NO HE DID NOT

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
FUCK I MISSED IT

… whoops

Zelda (they/she) @zeldahannigan
The speed at which Clint dove for the swear jar and then booked it down the hall to Peter’s room. I don’t think you understand--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh so that’s the way we’re going to play? Okay. It’s on. I’m winning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Spidey’s winning.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Also I have to say, it’s such a relief to be able to call Pete ‘Spidey’. Most of us almost never actually call him Peter. 85% of the time he’s Spidey.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
But yeah. Spidey’s winning.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Pep and I leave for a week and Peter starts winning? How exactly???

[video: Thor is in the kitchen, having just taken brownies out of the oven and cut them up. Peter walks up and grabs a brownie-- straight from the glass pan. He draws his hand back like he was burned. Which he was.
“SON OF AN EGG SAC--” he groans through gritted teeth.]
[video: Clint drops from a vent and lands directly on Peter, sending them both crashing to the ground.
“I am going to tear off all of your limbs and eat them.” this is said while punching Clint repeatedly in the arm.]
[video: Harley surprises Peter with a picnic on the roof. He leads his boyfriend outside, eyes closed.
“Okay, open them,” Harley grins, and Peter’s eyes fly open.
“Holy horsefly, I love you.” is Peter’s response.]
[video: Peter is pouting after having lost at Super Smash Bros™. Again. Everyone is teasing him.
“Awww poor Spidey. Guess you can’t win every fight.” that’s Clint.
“Should I break out the ice cream?” Nat taunts, a playful smile on her face.
“That pout is too precious. We should keep beating him so we can see it,” Harley winks at his boyfriend.
Finally, Peter rolls his eyes impressively far back in his head and stands up.
“You all can go web yourselves,” he snaps, and leaves the room.]
[video: the Avengers and Co. are sitting at the table eating dinner, a welcome home dinner for Sam, because he’s been gone since they got back from Cali. Suddenly, Bucky’s arm buzzes and shorts out, flinging the mashed potatoes on his fork across the table.
They hit Peter square in the face. The whole table is quiet for a minute before Natasha snorts, breaking their silent concentration. A food fight breaks out. Steve is, shockingly, the first person to officially throw food. The asparagus slaps Peter in the face and he sends a death glare towards Steve.
“You poisonous pest,” he growls, taking two handfuls of potatoes and jumping across the table at his uncle.]

What now?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
SO. Okay. The old AcaDec team and I are on a groupchat, and since most of them are at the same college (cough Harvard cough), they decided that they had enough company there with them to put their phones down for a few weeks to focus on their first semester there.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
They planned on a full month. On August 4th they put their phones down. What’s today?

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
September 4th…? I don’t see the issue.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Bucky. No social media for a month. What did they miss on August 17th?

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Oh you’re in deep shit

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Everyone send good thoughts to my boyfriend. He’s about to get his ass kicked by geeks.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
They’re not going back on their phones until after classes, so I have like 20 minutes. Someone hide me. Cindy is going to fly here just to murder me. Flash might actually die. Like have a heart attack and die on the spot.

I’m genuinely curious as to how you forgot?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I don’t know!!! Just… slipped my mind. Things have been so busy and I haven’t laid eyes on them since MAY. And obviously the group chat was kind of an “out of sight, out of mind” situation.

Not-Ugly Betty @futurepresident

Nat, you must learn to watch your language, young lady

Clint is busy - Nat

Notes:

Will Betty kill Peter? Maybe... but we wouldn't have a main character anymore. Maybe maiming is okay...
Will Nat kill Clint? Probably. Zelda will understand.

If you have any ideas/anything you want to see, put that in the comments.
and FINALLY: if you want to be IN the fic, comment that too and let me know what you want your name/username to be! I'm terrible at coming up with them, so any would be appreciated! I love seeing you guys in my work, it makes me happy!
again, a huge thanks to @SabertoothedCat for the swear jar idea, and pretty much every creative curse Peter used

Chapter 25: Just One of Those Days

Summary:

Steve and Clint talk mental health and why Peter is actually the best. Also, the Avengers get sick after getting caught in the rain in Central Park

Notes:

I'm not gonna lie this one is mildly depressing in the beginning, but I saw a textpost about how if Peter knew how bad Bucky's thoughts could get, he would just constantly be like "hey I love you!" and I wanted to play with that a little. Plus, the swear jar thing was difficult to keep a good storyline on, so it has been abolished just in time for everyone to catch a cold!
Mental health AND swearing? It must be your lucky day!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
I know Twitter is usually our place for chaos, it’s never really a serious place. But I don’t like using instagram, it feels showy to have to post a picture just for the words that most people don’t read. Plus the thirsty comments overpower the whole point of whatever message there IS

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
But I did want to give you guys more of a… realistic, I guess, slice of our life. Not daily life, but every few weeks or so there’s a day like this.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Bucky has panic attacks. Not constantly, but often enough that we all know what to watch for. Even Tony begrudgingly will keep an eye out, as much as he pretends he doesn’t care. This morning, Bucky had a panic attack. I don’t know when, but it was either while I was in the shower or before I even woke up.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
I knew right away something was off, but it took me a while to drag what had happened out of them. There are a few things that happen post panic attack for Bucky. One is they get really clingy and we settle down for a movie day on the couch. Another is nothing. Sometimes he gets a panic attack and nothing happens, it wasn’t bad and they’re fine. But often he retreats into his own head and goes around for the next day or so feeling like everyone secretly hates them

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Guess what today’s thing was? Yeah. So all day they’ve been distant and it’s like watching them fold in on themself. It took all of 15 minutes for Spidey to clock Bucky’s mood change, and when he was reading on the deck an hour or so ago, he asked me what was up and if Bucky needed cheering up.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
This is the part where I have to say what an incredible kid Spidey is. He’s just a good person. We’ve all had kind of a tough week, the swear jar thing got out of hand, and we all got frustrated and have been taking a few days to ourselves. Pete got back from a long weekend at the beach with Harley and jumped right to helping Buck. No questions asked.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Anyway, I told him the situation, that they’d had a panic attack and it was the usual ‘everyone secretly hates me’ narrative he was just like “oh, i know how that feels”-- first off, kid are you okay?? Second off, I love Spidey, but I wasn't sure it would work? Like I said, they were totally shut down.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
But this kid is magic. Bucky came in once he’d finished his book, and Peter looked at them and walked up and just hugged them, and Bucky looked up at me and they were a little tense and more than a little confused. Before I could say anything, Peter was saying “you know I love you right? Fuck what your head says. We all love you.” and I thought Bucky was going to cry when I saw the look on his face, but he just relaxed into the hug and mumbled something into Pete’s hair and Pete did say something back and I didn’t catch it.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
I did go, because even though it was MY partner, I felt like I was third wheeling on a nephew/(i don’t know a non-binary term for aunt or uncle but you know what I’m trying to say) moment. But I came back after a while to find Peter using an Expo marker to draw on Bucky’s metal arm while Bucky dozed.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
But this is all to say A) please be patient with us. A lot of us have days like this, and often. B) make sure you’re keeping an eye on your friends and family. Make sure they know they’re loved

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Back to chaos, go on

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
In case you wondered @steverogers, he asked me how I knew he needed to hear that, and I told them that it’s what Harley or dad tells me every time I’m feeling that way, because it’s all I need to hear.

maddie, more like tiddie @booksandspite
sometimes the world feels like it’s drowning in hate but seeing this sort of thing… there are still good people in the world, they’re in high places, and they can (and do) take stances on things and people will LISTEN to them. That’s big. It’s also really comforting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
While we’re still kind of on the topics of “heroes have hard days too” and “peter is the best”, I wanted to address it. I know I’m not exactly known for being ‘serious’. But hey, we all have to start somewhere.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
We all have hard days in the Tower. We’ve been through a lot individually and together. There’s no “worst” trauma, it’s all trauma and it affects us all in a painful way. Peter especially. He’d seen and been through so much before half of us ever laid eyes on him.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
I should back up and say that, like Steve said, the swear jar got out of hand. I won’t say too much because that’s not fair to everyone. But I will say that there was an argument between all of us that got way too out of hand and half of us self-isolated and half of us took off for the weekend.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Peter and Harley went to the beach, Steve and Bucky holed up in the art studio, Zelda and I took the kids off Laura’s hands and did some NYC tourist stuff, Bruce and Tony actually went away, but I don’t know where. Maria had to drag Nat out of the ballet studio every night.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
All this to say that it was bad, and I know it hurt all of us to have to leave on a note like that, but it was better to clear our heads and apologize later. But something I know more than anything else is that it killed Peter to leave. When I called him and Harley the next night to talk about everything, he sounded like he was having a rough time.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
I asked him about it, and he flat out told me he had been having a bad mental health week and he knew he needed the time away, but he just wanted to be home. I’m actually not back yet, but having heard that the first thing that kid did was check on everyone else? Peter is really the best.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
So yeah. I mean really that’s it. I know we all shit on him because he’s just a kid(and an easy to fluster one at that). But he’s a really damn good kid.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
That’s all. Now I need to earn back my branding as “most chaotic Avenger”

[security video: Nat is sitting on the couch in the living room when Clint rushes in with cans of silly string, tosses 2 at her, and smirks when she observes them.
“Oh you’re going down, Barton,” Nat grins, a slightly evil glint in her eye. In response, Clint uncaps both of his cans and sprays her before booking it out of the room. Nat follows with a shout of laughter, book forgotten.]

clever username @hyperfixation_station
For real. Like first the MASSIVE twitter break, and then Bucky thought everyone hated him and then Peter apparently had a minor breakdown??? What’s left? No one is dead right?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Everyone is breathing. BUT we’re all sick. We hung out in Central Park yesterday, just team bonding. But here’s the issue: we walked there. And it started POURING rain after an hour, so we had to walk home. I always thought walking in the rain and getting sick from it was a joke

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
IT’S NOT--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Even Steve, Bucky and I are beyond congested-- I am officially a mouth-breather. My entire face feels like a ticking time bomb. If I sneeze, it’s all over. Hell it even got Loki and Thor--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
TEAMS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
1. Shuri and MJ 2. Harley and Ned 3. Nat and Clint 4. Steve and Bucky 5. Tony and Pepper 6. Loki and Thor

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Bruce used his pass to get out of this one, we were all up all night in the lab, but he was the only one who had been up for like 3 days and Maria had to work. Sam and I are gonna be judging because not only does he not have a partner, he doesn’t want to wear makeup and quote “watch his skin erupt in pimples”.

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
Okay quick note for y’all already coming for me: this has nothing to do with fragile masculinity and everything to do with the never-ending cycle of makeup. If I wear makeup once, I’ll break out. Breaking out makes me want to wear makeup to cover it up, which doesn’t solve the fact that I’m breaking out. And I have a meeting in 2 days that I don’t want to look like a 16 year old in.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
That’s valid. I just don’t like the smell of foundation, it’s way stronger for me, especially when it’s on my FACE. It makes me gag.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Guys I have so many sensory restrictions it’s annoying. I literally have special JEANS because the denim fabric drives me insane. I can’t be within a 15 foot radius of real mint, I WILL be violently ill. Mint ice cream is gross but it usually doesn’t bother me. Anytime I’m overwhelmed, Inner-Spider comes out and threatens to rip off limbs. Which is why I have sound cancelling earbuds, so I can avoid that in public.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
They’re all working in teams. Steve and Bucky, Shuri and MJ, Ned and Harley, Nat and Clint, Dad and Pep, Loki and Thor.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
HERE WE GO! MAKEUP IS BEING PASSED OUT AND OPENED

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So apparently I have to explain to Loki and Clint what all of these products are for, because they have little-to-no experience with them.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Loki actually knew more than Clint… wow.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay we’re off to a decent start. Dad and Clint started with eye makeup instead of primer and foundation but I guess we’ll see how this goes…

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Clint??? Might be colorblind??? He chose pink, green, and purple for his eye makeup. Sparkly. Olive. Green.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
He is definitely color blind. Red/green at least.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Shuri’s foundation-matching is ON POINT. She completely eyed the mixture she was making and it was basically perfect.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
WHAT THE FUCK IT’S LIKE THE PAINT-MATCHING GUY ON TIKTOK-- - attachment
[video: Shuri has a foundation mixture palette in her hand, and she takes the sponge and dabs some on MJ’ skin. It’s a perfect match, almost impossible to tell that it’s foundation.
“What the hell--” Tony sputters from just off camera.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
ALSO why is my boyfriend so good at makeup and he never told me-- he just lets me struggle when I do mine. Bitch. @harleythepotatokid

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
:)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Progress report: -Steve’s eye makeup is annoyingly good. -Clint’s color blended surprisingly well? It’s giving me ‘early-2000s Disney channel star’ color palette. -Dad’s foundation matching could use some work but it still looks half decent

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
-Harley is just now getting to the eye makeup, he saved it for one of the last things he did. -Loki is completely and purposefully doing this wrong, he's doing the Mr. White Christmas/Green Christmas trend from like a year ago. -Shuri should be famous for this shit why have we not figured this out before she’s amazing.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
SHURI’S COLOR PALETTE IS PINK PURPLE AND GOLD. AHHHHHHH

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Harley finally chose a gold/smokey eye vibe and I think this might be amazing

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Steve and Bucky are going to win again. I don’t make the rules. The detail… I--

Pops??? @drbrucebanner
I just walked in and Peter’s right. Steve’s is… wow.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Dad’s eye makeup for Pep is done, but it’s red and gold and I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite, it's better than I thought it would be?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Heheh I’m making bread while everyone finishes doing their makeup looks. As usual, Steve has a ton of time left before he’s done.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
The bread is literally DONE. Like it rose and baked and everything. And we made grilled cheese with it. And Steve is still working. I’ll give it to the man, he’s dedicated.

When do we get to see the final products?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’ll post photos here once a) Bucky wakes up, b) I can get the photos taken in good lighting, c) we do our closing our thingy for the video.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
FINALLY. That took longer than I wanted it to, but waking Bucky is hard, so we usually just let them sleep and then finally get bored and make Steve do it.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The video is gonna take a few days, maybe a week to edit. BUT I can finally give you guys the photos.

Chapter 27: Clint is Overly Chaotic (Tell Us Something We Didn’t Know)

Summary:

Clint tells a tale of hearing aids, people react to Peter walking on the ceiling in different ways, Steve and Bucky are built in homework help, and Bruce brings up the whole "pops" thing again.

Notes:

Sorry for the infrequent updates! I've been SUPER busy dog sitting for a friend. Plus I was super uninspired for this chapter after the Clint-hearing-aid thing, so I took to Pinterest for a few other scenarios.

ALSO, I know it's kind of hard to follow the timeline, so I'm going to start putting the month and year in the chapter notes!

 

This chapter takes place in: early October 2021

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
“What’s it like to have hearing aids, Clint?” you may ask.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Well. I think I just scared the life out of Zel and Nat because of said devices.

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Yes.

Zelda (they/she) @zeldahannigan
Kinda, yeah.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Let me tell you a quick story.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
To start with, a fun fact: taking off shirts with hearing aids is a constant adventure because one wrong move could knock them out and then it’s basically the deaf version of Naked and Afraid, called Naked and Annoyed.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
So I knocked both of my hearing aids out today, obviously I was like 98% deaf because of that and so I, naked, crawled around on the floor to find them. When I stood up after finding them, Nat and Zelda were in the room, too. I think they were looking for a movie on my shelf.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
But obviously, I didn’t hear them come in. So it scared me and I screamed. For a sound reference, without hearing aids, I can MAYBE hear music if I’m at a concert with floor seats and near the speakers. And when I screamed, I HEARD MYSELF.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
I thought Z was gonna pee. Nat screamed back, I think.

Zelda (they/she) @zeldahannigan
Yeah, she did.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
THAT WAS YOU?! I HEARD THAT FROM ACROSS THE STREET

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
@harleythepotatokid please tell me you were with him

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
I was. He jumped onto the ceiling of the restaurant. Then people noticed and started asking for his autograph because “oh my god it’s Spider-Man!!!”

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
It was mostly moms who wanted autographs for their kids who were in school. STAY IN SCHOOL, KIDS.

Zelda (they/she) @zeldahannigan
So maybe I’m just really new here… but why is Peter on the ceiling?

I present you with two alternative scenarios. Both of which have happened. Recently.

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Scenario 1: Peter is just chilling on the ceiling, and I walk into the living room. I comment that there’s a spider on the ceiling, and Peter fucking FLIES off the ceiling, screaming bloody murder and going “WHERE?! WHERE?!”

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Scenario 2: Peter is sitting on the ceiling, and Sam walks in with a broom and goes “oh look, a spider. Don’t worry, I’ll get it.” and starts HITTING PETER WITH THE BROOM.

erin:) (she/they) @queervengers
He-- I mean that's what you do when there’s a spider on the ceiling.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I am offended.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Fuck you

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Oh shit there was a spider in my bed - attachment
[security video: Peter is lying in bed when Harley walks in, holding a broom.
“Ah, shit. A spider on the bed,” Harley laughs, lightly swatting Peter with the broom as he leaps up onto the ceiling and hisses.
“Stop fucking hitting me,” Peter whines, but Harley persists. “Okay, you know what?” he finally grits out, grabbing the broom and yanking it up into his hand. “Spider strikes back!”
“Damn,” Harley says as Peter jumps down from the ceiling, wielding the broom, and Harley runs out the door again.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Hey, quick fun fact for all the kids in my US History class at Midtown!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
That essay on Captain America that I did for my final in junior year? But I got a zero on it the first time because my only source was “Captain America and Bucky Barnes”? Captain America and Bucky actually helped me WRITE that, and dad and Steve had to go to the school and yell at the teacher.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
This fucking kid came into our room at MIDNIGHT. Thank god we were still awake. He was like “uh… hey so I have a problem and I kinda need your help. I could probably do it myself, actually. Nevermind this is stupid, sorry.” and of course Bucky and I were concerned.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Because this is Spidey. His “oh I can do it myself” ranges from cooking a frozen pizza to battling supervillains. Bucky was immediately like “what’s wrong are you in danger what do we need to do?”

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
And boy genius indeed. Holy shit. This kid just goes “oh well so I was supposed to write an essay about you guys and the rest of the commandos and it’s due on Tuesday (it was Sunday) but I have decathlon tomorrow and I just remembered that I even had to do the paper. And I could do it myself and halfass it, but my teacher is fucking crazy and…” he went on and on and on until Bucky had him dangling out of the window. WITH THE METAL ARM WE’RE NOT INSANE

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
To reiterate: Peter would have been fine if he DID fall, but Bucky used their metal arm so he wouldn’t. Okay. So anyway. We made him shut up and stop over explaining, because we were going to help him anyway. I had some old stuff, my journal and sketchbook that I’d gotten back from Fury after I woke up because he’d taken them to examine. So we wrote the paper pretty fast that night.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
You were nOT that collected. I went back to my room while you grabbed all your stuff, and I’d just gotten my computer turned on when you both FLEW into my room with your stuff and almost vaulted over my bed.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
But yeah, Dad and Steve (maybe Buck was there too, idk because I was NOT there. For those of you who don’t know, I have a marvellous talent which is Not Knowing When to Shut Up) went down after I got my initial grade back and made him sign a TON of NDAs before they’d even talk to him. But they finally did yell at him and I got a 100 :)))

maddie, more like tiddie @booksandspite
Avengers Fam to the rescue omg i love

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Without a doubt the best adoptive family. I mean, MOST of us don’t have family anymore anyway, so it’s just kind of family but you know what I mean.

Pops??? @drbrucebanner
He says all this but still hasn’t called me Pops to my face.

I don’t call you POPS

[video: Bruce is working in the lab when Peter comes around the corner and knocks on the doorframe.
“Come on in,” Bruce says, without looking up.
“So… do you want me to call you pops or…?” Peter asks. Bruce looks up, not having realized Peter was the visitor.
“You can call me whatever you want. Obviously you didn’t want me to know you were calling me that. So if that means you keep calling me Bruce, that’s fine. Or you can call me Pops,” Bruce says.
“You don’t care, then?” Peter asks again, not looking sure.
“I just want you to be comfortable and not be embarrassed or overwhelmed if you do decide to call me pops. I’d be thrilled if you added me to the list of people you consider a father figure, but it’s entirely up to you.”
Peter seems to consider this before nodding.
“Can I… give you a hug?” he asks after a minute. Bruce nods, and Peter does just that, only holding on for a second, and then heading for the door. “Bye dad, bye pops!” he calls over his shoulder.]

I cannot believe I was convinced to go ANYWHERE. But we’ll be there tomorrow--

Oh shit wait what’s your due date again? Because you’re like… more than 8 months soon.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Nov 10th

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh shit. Are you sure you wanna come?

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
It’s actually probably not a good idea, but I have a group costume to be in, and so does Vis.

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
You know, I think everyone would get it. Personally, I think we would all prefer to not have to deliver your children in the tower.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
You can say “that won’t happen” all you fucking want. I can already hear you thinking it from hundreds of miles away. But it’s U S. It. Will. Happen.

You guys can’t see it, but poor Wanda is huge. Those babies sure have the room to move.

I am officially over being pregnant. Maybe I WILL have the babies here just so it’s done.

She can’t control that...

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Peter… did you drink the coffee?

Update: Wanda is, thankfully, still pregnant. Ned and MJ just got here, Cindy is on her way and then we’re going to get ready! While we wait, Shuri and MJ are being gay somewhere else.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Fun fact: most of us are in group costumes, and no one knows each other’s costumes outside of their group. All we know is we’re not matching group costumes because Thor (the only one NOT in a group costume) confirmed it for us.

owls @owo
Oh this is going to be FANTASTIC

I Am the Night @Batfriend
I should not be this excited about other people’s Halloween costumes

larn @timetravellerlarn
Me either, but here we are.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Cindy has arrived! And so it begins…

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Also, NO I am not dressing as anything traditionally ‘pregnant’. If I wasn’t so over being pregnant, I would probably do something like an avocado or paint a pumpkin on my bump. But I honestly cannot be fucking bothered.

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
So we all decided we CAN go ahead and lay out who’s in what group. So…
1. Peter, Harley, Shuri, MJ, Ned, and Cindy. 2. Nat, Wanda, Maria and I. 3. Steve and Pepper. 4. Tony, Loki and Zelda. 5. Vision, Bruce, Clint and Sam.

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Billy and Tommy are kind of a group but not really. Their costumes are just kinda coordinated. And Thor is by himself but also kind of coordinated with the kids?

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Also, Kennedy and Lucy (IF THEY WERE BORN) would have been in a group too. I would have dressed them in little onesies and wrapped them in blankets that looked like Subway sandwich wrappers.

Our group: souvenir snow-globes!!! - attachment

Harley’s snow globe is titled “Orlando”, complete with a mini Disney World and sand instead of snow. Shuri’s globe is “Los Angeles” and is again featuring sand instead of snow, and there’s a miniature Rodeo Drive inside. MJ’s snow globe bears the name “London” and is easily the most detailed, with a miniature Kensington Palace inside, snow on the ground and a christmas tree in front of the palace. Ned’s “Italy” globe includes the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Colosseum. Finally, Cindy’s globe is “Las Vegas” and is complete with slot machines and a drive-thru wedding chapel.]

Wanda is Heather Chandler (red), her button down tied into a crop top above her bump. Her makeup is done to look slightly paler and waxier, like a corpse and she holds a Hydro-Flask labelled “DRAIN CLEANER”. Maria is Heather Duke (green), and she’s wearing Heather Chandler’s red scrunchie around her wrist. Natasha is Heather McNamara (yellow) and holds a croquet mallet. Bucky is, of course, Veronica Sawyer (blue), and carries a (FAKE) gun in one hand and a croquet mallet is swung over their shoulder.]

Zelda is Wednesday, and wears a black wig to cover their blond hair. Her face is impassive, staring directly into the camera.]

Stabby Fren (he/they) @godofmischief
The first day in a week that I haven’t felt like using she/her pronouns is the first day in forever that I get to put on a gorgeous dress. Is this what Midgardians refer to as “irony”?

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
Gonna go through the FAQs, please stand by.

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
NO he is no one we’ve tweeted about before. He is NOT an Avenger. He’s not quite ready to be in a public relationship. We’ve been dating for a few years, we were REALLY on the down-low until I came out. He’s been out for most of his life, but he was willing to give me the time I needed. He never went back into the closet and I never expected him to. We just didn’t say anything about our relationship.

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
Only a few of the Avengers have met him. I’ve been careful not to introduce him into the total chaos all at once.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
And I haven’t met him because…?

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
Well for one, you JUST found out I have a boyfriend 10 minutes ago.

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
Also, you ARE the chaos I’ve been careful about, kid.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
RUDE

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
But valid.

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
Also I hope you guys don’t start coming for Spidey. If my boyfriend and I weren’t ready to be at least known to the public, I’d have shut him down. Anyway, we’re going back to the party. Thor is trying to get people to lift his hammer again.

“A little overwhelmed, huh?” Peter asks quietly.
“What gave me away?” Loki snaps back.
“Well, the screaming doesn’t hide it,” Peter says. “Wanda is in the other room taking a break, too. Would it be better if you stayed in there for a while? It’s much quieter.”
“Would she mind?” Loki asks, suddenly quiet and tired-looking.
“Not at all. She texted me to invite you in. I can even hang for a bit with you guys if you want.”
“Okay… yeah, I think I’ll join her.”
“Cool, let’s go!” Peter says, linking arms with the god and showing them around a corner.]

P: Hey! How was the flight?
W: Who the fuck allows pregnant women to fly eight and a half months along?
P: They… don’t, actually. It’s a thing.
W: Well I see why. I’m so nauseous. I want to SLEEP. Also I might throw up.
P: Okay, I’ll let you go, then! Please don’t throw up on the phone with me because then I’ll throw up. Will you call me when the babies are coming so Harls and I can head that way?
W: Yeah for sure, I’ll-- oh fuck.
P: ...what? Wanda?
W: Okay, so my water just broke.
V: (background) Did your water just break?
W: Yes. Yes it did.
P: Do you guys have a sitter for the boys or…?
W: Thor has volunteered his help since he can just take the bridge. Would you mind grabbing him for us?
P: As long as you call your midwife and get them on the way, I’ll hang up and get Thor.
W: Bold of you to assume Vision hasn’t been on the phone for the past 3 minutes.
P: That’s valid. Okay, you go. Thor will be there in like 5 minutes.
W: Wonderful. I assume you’re also going to start heading this way soon?
P: Something tells me you won’t be able to stop the entire team from showing up over the next 24 hours. I’ll try to get dad to get an AirBnB or something so we don’t invade your space.
W: Thanks. Also I’m having a contraction so I’m going to go now.
P: Good luck, love you.
W: Love you too

Chapter Text

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Wanda in labor is WAY scarier than regular Wanda.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Like, lights are flickering and we all started floating at one point and Vision has become more than a little concerned about the city’s power grid.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Also candles are NOT allowed, no fire in the house at all because apparently the last time, there was an incident with a fireplace.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
When your husband is a synthezoid so you can technically squeeze his hand as hard as you want because he can just turn off his pain receptors for that limb 😊✌️

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
I WAS allowed inside (haha fuck you Tony) and we’re basically vibing and keeping Wanda and Vision company. Wanda is having the time of her life freaking Spidey out because this poor boy wants to see NOTHING, he’s just too much of an emotional support person by nature to leave.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The second the midwife says Wanda is supposed to start pushing, I will make a swift exit, through a door or window I don’t really care.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Hahaha fuck.

Wanda won’t let go of my hand and apparently baby no. 1 is getting impatient. Vision is in the bathroom. Help.

@harleythepotatokid so there’s no way you can carry kids, huh? Gotta be me.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
In order of most to least panicked in the room we have:
1. Peter. That speaks for itself. 2. Natasha. You wouldn’t think so but there is panic in that woman’s eyes. 3. Harley. Apparently working on a farm for a while and seeing animal births is far more scarring than a human birth.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
4. Vision. As a generally panicky being, I can understand it. 5. Me. Like I said, 3 kids. Been there seen that. 6. Wanda. For someone who’s about 5 minutes away from shorting out the power grid, she’s not all that panicked. 7. The midwife. I would HOPE she’s remaining calm.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Peter is about 10 seconds from passing out, and baby 2 is about 5 from being born. This is amazing.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
And the miracle of life prevails a second time in 10 minutes. And Peter is losing it. The adrenaline pumping through this relatively small boy is scaring me. I’m opening a window.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
No, don’t open a window--

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Too late.

Harls: you okay?
Darlin’: yeah, i’m okay.
Darlin’: that was just… woah
Harls: for sure.
Darlin’: Just kinda wanted to clear my head? Also, wrap my head around it a little. Like. I can DO that. What the fuck.
Harls: sigh. Part of me wishes I could. It would be cool just to say that I COULD if I wanted to.
Darlin’: wanna switch?
Harls: love, you know if I could switch I would.
Darlin’: that I do <3
Harls: you want company?
Darlin’: nah, I’m just at the park a few blocks over. I’ll be back.

Keener: If I haven’t texted you in an hour saying Spidey’s back, would you pick him up at the park a few blocks from W&V’s? I think he might be having a vague “oh shit I can HAVE KIDS” moment
Roger That: ah, gotcha. Trans guy convo?
Keener: I mean, it’s def not a cis guy convo. We love each other, but I know I won’t get it and so does he.
Roger That: That’s okay, you guys are in a situation where you’re not always going to understand all of his issues. But yeah, by all means, genuinely. Volunteer me for that, because it’s likely I’ve been there.

Wasn’t there a MINUTE where Trump tried to make mail-in ballots not count? I’m not quite sure why I’m arguing with you, Biden is clearly in office and rightfully so. But it’s been almost more than a year, and I think at this point it’s just pathetic

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes

You aren’t a good person because you read the book and interpret it as truth and hold yourself to a higher standard. You’re a good person because of who your morals lead you to be. If you read the Bible and decide to preach the word of god, but still make racist or misogynistic jokes, you’re not a good person.

“Mr. Barton,” FRIDAY’s voice announces. “The turkey you ordered has arrived, it’s on its way up in the elevator now.”
“Thanks, FRI,” Clint says, not looking up from the green beans.
A few seconds later, the elevator doors are heard sliding open.
“Somebody ordered a turkey?” a guy’s disembodied voice asks.
“In here!” Steve calls, glancing over and doing a double take. This causes Clint to look over, mouth dropping open. As the delivery guy enters the frame, a leash follows him, and a live, massive turkey waddles into view of the camera.
“Uhhh… I ordered a turkey. Like… to eat?” Clint says, finally snapping out of his stupor.
“I mean…” the delivery guy considers. “You could eat him? It would just take more than a day. He definitely wouldn’t be ready by tonight.”
“I… take him back. No refund necessary,” Steve sighs.
“Y’all sure?” the guy asks, and Steve nods, setting his head in his hands. Man and turkey exit, and Steve slowly turns to look at a very sheepish Clint.
“I DIDN’T KNOW--” Clint starts.
“I DIDN’T MEAN A LIVE TURKEY, CLINT.”
“NO SHIT, STEVE? I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DO IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY OR SOMETHING,” Clint exclaims. “KILL IT YOURSELF AND THEN PLUCK IT, JUST LIKE YOU USED TO DO, I’M SURE!”
“YOU COULD BUY A GODDAMN PRE-PLUCKED TURKEY IN 1936, DUMBASS!” Steve groans, thudding his head once, twice, three times on the counter. “Okay. Okay. You get to go find a turkey now. You ALSO get to tell the rest of the team why we might not have a turkey.”
“I-- yeah, okay,” Clint sighs, getting up from the counter.]

Get off twitter immediately no

You can be adults all you want but i can shut your phones down

Tones, Peter’s already handling it

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Harls is running away. He should be.

Post-dinner verdict: everything was so damn good i am maybe going to hurl

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
I second that

Natasha Calls Me RiRi @mariahill
I think Sam is actually hurling right now, so that’s fun.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
He’s definitely hurling. His boyfriend doesn’t look far behind, which doesn’t bode well for the rest of us. Man has a stomach of steel. He can and does eat Sam’s cooking.

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
That’s hurtful--

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
He just shot me a grin and said it wasn’t wrong. Ouch.

Ophelia @spaghettibish
This is better than any after-dinner movie.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Idk man… we’re watching Princess Diaries 2

Ophelia @spaghettibish
I take that back, that’s better.

maddie, more like tiddie @booksandspite
Now I wanna watch Princess Diaries

Shannon, I’m in the cupboard, like the others @whatislifeanymore
You guys are weird. Who DOESN’T watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We did that this morning. Clint has an insane DVD collection and that’s there. We got up, watched it while we were half awake, and then the turkey incident happened an hour later.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Plus if I even have to LOOK at food, cartoon or not, we may have a problem.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
So should I post the pictures of your goddaughters wearing their cornucopia onesies later?

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Even if the answer is yes, I’m doing it now. @fridaythai if he vomits I want security video - attachment
[image: Kennedy and Lucy in matching onesies. They say “First Turkey Day!” with cornucopia clipart below the words. Kennedy (right) is mid air-kick and smiling. Lucy stares at the camera, eyes wide and curious.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Awww they’re so cute.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Sooo… you guys are coming for christmas, right?

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Sure. But you get to put them back to sleep when they wake up 3 times a night at LEAST

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Take your time, no rush

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
I’d say something mean but Barton’s seen enough today. Plus I love Zelda, they’re a goddamn icon. And maybe this is cute... - attachment
[image: Clint, head in Zelda’s lap, fast asleep. The gauze on his cheek is facing the ceiling. One of his hands comes up near his chin to grasp one of Zelda’s. Zelda is still awake, attention focused on a book that they balance on the arm of the couch. She’s mid-flipping a page.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Damn it and I can’t even say “ew, straight” because it’s technically NOT--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Ew, Clint. That works.

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Don’t make him do something stupid the second he wakes up, please.

Badass Queen @pepperpotts
So… he just needs to be immobilized until his stitches and nose heals?

Basically.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Avengers and Co. - attachments
[image: the standard Avengers and Co. group photo. This time the group is gathered around the massive sectional in the main living room. Clint is in the middle of everyone, grinning with an arm thrown around Peter, who’s laughing, head tilted back a little bit. Nat and Maria are standing behind the sectional, Maria’s head leaning on Nat’s, both beaming. Bruce sits on the sectional, leaning back into Tony’s chest where he stands behind it. Harley and Shuri are wildly posed, but remarkably, looking at the camera.]

Summary:

The Avengers revisit karaoke... this time they're actively working to get drunk, though. It's an experience. Peter also accidentally created a new nickname for the dear Captain.

Notes:

HIIIII!!!!! What's up, guys? I know I've only been gone for like a week, but I swear it feels like forever! I hope you enjoy this chapter, I went through a writer's block bout, but in the end this was a really fun one, it makes me laugh every time.
This chapter takes place in: first week of December, 2021

Chapter Text

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
I have witnessed miracle this morning

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Please don’t

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Steve and I were in the kitchen this morning, right? Early, too. Pre-run. Peter stumbles into the kitchen from the elevator, assumedly from an all-nighter in the lab. I don’t know, I didn’t ask.

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
But Peter finds his way in and goes “oh, if it isn’t Cap’n Crunch!” and then just stops. Like he was buffering or something. His next words: “Cap’n… Crunch? Crunch? That feels wrong but I know a Cap’n Crunch. CAPTAIN AMERICA. I MEANT CAPTAIN AMERICA.”

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Bucky: “and who’s cap’n crunch, Petey?” Peter: “I don’t…” and then his face turned red as he saw the Cap’n Crunch cereal box.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
You know that now everyone’s going to call you capn crunch, yes?

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
That’s true. We are.

Badass Queen @pepperpotts
I’d stop them but… I wanna do it too.

Stabby Fren (she/her) @godofmischief
I also might do that.

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Actually that’s your new contact name in my phone. Thank you Peter

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I will never be able to look at that cereal the same way again.

BUG BUDDIES BUG BUDDIES

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Do I mean nothing to you

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We’re Spider-Fam! Scott is a bug buddy!

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
Alright, if you say so Питер

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh my god Scott just asked me if I wanted to build a LEGO castle, and then shrink down and hang out inside it for a few hours. I’m FURIOUS that I had to turn that down...

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So we’re building a MASSIVE lego castle up at the training complex

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Also I didn’t tell dad about this so… hi dad

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Why did I just get a call about a shipment of giant legos at the compex

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
I’ve read back. Jesus christ.

Ant Man bitches @scottlang
I was convinced to make a twitter?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Fun fact: Steve CAN get drunk. It just takes a LOT of alcohol.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Drunk Steve leads to everyone else being absolutely PLASTERED. And what does that lead to? KARAOKE NIGHT.

larn @timetravellerlarn
I feel like it was a thing last time? When you ALSO left us hanging for videos?!?!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m working on it! I’m just… there are a lot of drunk geniuses and super soldiers and Harley and I are the only ones who haven’t had a drink. Dad just mentioned building a working USS Enterprise. I’m basically going to have to lock them all out of the labs.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
I feel like this says it all - attachment
[video: Peter, half carrying Maria.
“FRIDAY, enact protocol ‘Dazed and Confused’.”
“Boss says never to enact that protocol without the double override code. Code 1?” FRIDAY asks.
“Antidisestablishmentarianism.”
“How do you spell that?”
“I’m dyslexic, I have no idea.”
“Protocol enabled. Labs on lockdown. Boss’ pre-recorded message for you says ‘Good luck with drunk Steve’,” FRIDAY responds, and Peter groans, looking around and noticing Clint trying to do a backflip.
“Harley, grab Clint and Sam, they’re egging each other on. Everyone is going to bed NOW!” Peter orders, and the entire room groans.]

owls @owo
It’s like a bunch of drunk toddlers…

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
They ARE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay okay finally have everyone in bed. I thought I was going to have to actually use deadbolts to keep everyone in their rooms. I’m actively sitting in the vent above Clint’s room so he doesn’t try to escape.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m going to get the full video from FRIDAY, cut it into separate songs, and I’ll post them in the morning.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
By the way… the common theme of these songs? They’re pretty much all from musicals.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
All of the videos are on youtube already, but I’m going to post my favorites here, too. And of course I’ll link everything here, too.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The timeline on this is from around 6 PM to Midnight. We didn’t have music playing CONSTANTLY, but just assume the later the time is, the more drunk everyone is.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
10:30- This one was SO fun. Everyone’s memory of the actual choreography was fuzzy, I think Harls and I were the only ones who did it accurately the whole time. I give you my favorite: Footloose - attachment
[video: “FRIDAY, play ‘Footloose’!” Maria calls to the ceiling. FRIDAY replies by beginning the song.
“I know this one!” Steve yells excitedly to Bucky.
“I know, love. I do, too,” Bucky responds, shaking their head fondly.
“Natty, come on! You have to dance with us! Look, Peter and Harley and Tony and Thor are all dancing!” Maria whines. “It’s about to be the actual dance!”
“Alright, милый. Let’s go,” Nat murmurs, her words coming out in a syrupy way that tells she’s not in total control of her words and actions.
At this point in the song, about one minute in, everyone is standing up and ready for the chorus.
“Now I gotta cut loose, footloose,” the speakers are booming, and everyone finally starts to really dance, doing their best to copy the sequence from the original movie.
Immediately it’s clear that Peter wasn’t kidding about having training in dance. All types. He takes the moves and makes them his own, still true to the original, but it’s so easily Peter. Harley, Natasha, and Bucky aren’t doing too badly themselves.
Bruce is trying his best, but it’s not like he’s coordinated when he’s sober.
Clint almost immediately gave up, following along behind everyone, but doing his own moves.
Sam gets most of the moves, but there are some moments where he just pauses, a gap in his memory. He always catches up a second later.
Maria is almost step-perfect 95% of the time. She looks like someone who’s seen the movies hundreds of times, she moves nearly like a robot.
Thor and Loki have chosen to sit this one out. Thor tried to join in the beginning, but quickly realized he was in over his head and sat down.
Everyone is laughing the entire time, and as the song ends, Bruce falls back on the nearest surface, taking a shot from the table next to him. Steve and Bucky collapse onto opposite ends of the massive sectional, while Harley lifts Peter by his waist, half-tossing him into the air as Peter giggles and half-heartedly thumps his chest.
“Put me downnnn,” he laughs.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
7:30- this was actually the second song of the night. Everyone wanted to be at least tipsy before really getting into tonight. Cell Block Tango - attachment
[video: this video begins right as the first murderess speaks. “Pop.”
“Oh my god this song is iconic!” Bucky says, laughing as he sits up from his place on the floor.
“Peter, you’re not allowed to teach Buck any more. They’re up to speed,” Steve said, glaring playfully at the younger boy, who just shrugs.
“I only started it. They have full access to the internet. That’s on him.”
“And now,” Clint says, voice only a touch too loud. “The six merry murderesses of the Cook County Jail, in their rendition of: the Cell Block Tango.”
“You’re such a fucking lightweight,” Tony complains. “You’re already too loud and you’re three drinks in.
“You’re slurring, love,” Bruce points out quietly, smirking.
“I CALL MURDERESS ONE!!!” Peter calls in the lull between the announcer and the opening verse.
“Murderess two,” Maria waves her hands in the air.
“Lo, you’ll take three, right? Like usual?” Harley asks the goddess from where she’s perched on the arm of his chair. Loki nods.
“Nat, you can be four, right?” Peter asks, pouting towards his aunt.
“Fine…” Natasha sighs.
“I WANNA BE FIVE!!!” Clint screams.
“Fucking lightwieght,” Tony mumbles. “Who wants six?”
“Oooh I’ve never done six, Wanda always takes that one! Can I?” Harley asks, and everyone agrees, nodding. And just in time, too, because Murderess No. 1 is beginning her monologue.
“You know how people have these little habits that get you down?” Peter begins, speech slower and lighter. “Like… Bernie,” he fake-mused.
As Peter’s solo ended and Maria’s began, Maria decides to stand up and take the middle of the living room as her stage.
“... you know some guys just can’t hold their arsenic!” Maria finished, taking a seat to a smattering of applause.
“He had it coming!” Everyone sang together, the background of “Pop, six, squish, uh-uh, cicero, lipshitz,” being completed by Steve, Natasha, and Bruce. “It was a murder, but not a crime!” they all yelled.
“Now I’m standing in the kitchen, carving up a chicken for dinner,” Loki begins, her long hair swishing as she sat up straighter. She delivers her lines a little more viciously than a few people in the room look totally comfortable with, but it’s her grin that makes her truly look the part.
“This part is Hungarian, not fucking Russian, by the way,” Natasha says pointedly to no one in particular. But she launches into the monologue nonetheless.
“Mit kersek, en itt? Azt mondjok, hogy a hires lakóm lefogta a férjemet,” she begins. After her lines, Tony jumps in.
“Yeah, but didja do it?” he asks. Natasha shakes her head and says.
“Uh-uh. Not. Guilty!”
“My sister Veronica and I had this double act, and my husband Charlie travelled around with us,” Clint said, suddenly sitting like one would imagine a gangster sitting in the dark corner of the club, smoke surrounding them as they tell their story. “Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out. Can’t remember a thing! It wasn’t until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead,” Clint said, taking two shots in quick succession as he finished his part, lounging back.
“THEY HAD IT COMING!” the group called out, striking dramatic poses.
“I loved Al Lipschitz more than I can possibly say,” Harley said, sticking his tongue out at Peter after he said it. Peter faked a swoon. “He was a real artistic guy, sensitive. A painter. But he was always trying to find himself,” Harley’s voice became nostalgic for a moment. “He’d go out every night looking for himself, and on the way…” Harley paused, sounding disdainful by now. “He found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary… and Irving.” Harley paused again, a scary-but-thoughtful-smile on his face. “I guess you could say we parted because of artistic differences,” he chuckled. “He saw himself as alive… and I saw him dead!” Peter is laughing now at his boyfriend’s dramatic performance, trying to sing through the final verse.
“If you’d have been there, if you’d have seen it! I betcha you would have done the same!” everyone cries, pointing at each other and sneering as the song ends.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
9:00- this is around the time Harley and I realized we were going to be in over our heads. This was also the point where everyone was 120% drunk. But we all have collectively agreed we had a LOT of fun with this one. School of Rock is Bucky’s favorite, they listen to it all the time. Stick it to the Man - attachment
[video: “This one’s for Buck!” Tony says, definitely too loud now. “And Peter and Harley, too. I hear them listening to this all the time! FRI, play ‘Stick it to the Man’!”
“On it, Boss,” FRIDAY responds, the last sane individual in the tower, AI or not.
“FUCK YES!” Bucky nearly screams.
“This is my shit!” Clint cheers.
“Clint, everything is your shit when you’re drunk,” Maria points out.
“Shut up, this is the best song ever!” Bucky waves their arm at the arguing friends. Peter’s already holding a remote to use as a microphone.
“WHEN THE WORLD HAS SCREWED YOU--” the three begin. “AND CRUSHED YOU IN ITS FIST--”
“When the way you’re treated has got you good and pissed!” Clint joins in.
“There’s been one solution,” Nat interjects, grinning at Clint’s pout when he was interrupted.
“Since the world began,” Sam grins.
“Don’t just sit and take it!” Steve calls.
“STICK IT TO THE MAN!” Everyone yells, Peter and Harley already jumping around and playing imaginary guitars.
Most of the group, including Thor and Loki, take this song as an energy release and spend it yelling out what they relate to and jumping around.
“Put some of it into your music!” Bucky yells, and the entire group collectively starts shredding the air-guitar.
“When the world has screwed you,” Peter sings, the song nearly over.
“AND CRUSHED YOU IN ITS FIST,” Harley and Bucky belt. (A/N: that’s my favorite part of the whole song, timestamp 2:17 if you look up the lyric video on YouTube or something. I had to put it in there.)
By this point in the song, everyone is tired, barely able to sing along as they relax back into their seats.
“There’s no way you can stop the School of Rock!” everyone sings, clearly out of energy.
“Who wants a nap?” Bruce asks as soon as the song ends. Half of the group raises their hands.
“Who wants food?” Thor offers. Every hand goes up.]

Peter: MJ’s gone soft. Shuri works fast
Peter: I feel like that can be taken the wrong way. But that’s not what I meant.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Oh btw Vis and I are at the tower with the kids. Tony knew. We were going to surprise you, but FRI said she was going to let all residents know we were here since you, Harley, Pep, and Stark aren’t here to officially know? We have level 9 passes but whateverrrr.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Btw travelling with 2 toddlers and 2 infants? Not. Fun.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
AHHHH everyone’s coming!

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
What I got from this is that I’m STILL IN THE TOWER and arguably another important person when it comes to the company and FRIDAY still decided to tell everyone?

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
I can fix that when I get home if you want. I didn’t even think about it.

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
I wouldn’t complain if you did. But no rush. Go back to the meeting I know you’re supposed to be in. I have your schedule.

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
Omg we’re going into Stark Tower-- and we have level 8 passes--

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m still 2 minutes away

Darlin -> Harls
Darlin: hey H?
Harls: yes?
Darlin: get FRIDAY to open the big window in the common area? I’m swinging that way.
Harls: on it
----------------

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Welcome to midtown’s ex-acadec team - attachment
[video: “FRIDAY, open common room window,” Harley’s voice says from behind the camera. There’s a click as the massive window pane begins to slide open. At the same moment, FRIDAY opens the elevator doors.
“Common area. Welcome back, Pepper, Michelle, Ned. Welcome Cindy, Flash, Abe, Charles, Sally, and Betty.”
“Thank you, FRI,” Pepper says cheerfully as the group exits, looking awestruck. “Is Peter back yet?” she asks toward the camera/Harley. The camera pans to look out the window.
“I don’t see him yet. Wait--” Harley pauses as a figure swings closer. “He’s on his way.”
“Guys, Peter’s going to be here any second,” Pepper says. “Look that way,” she advises, pointing to the window. Everyone cranes their necks to look, and just then, Peter webs the side of the building and slides into the room.
“FRI, would you close that before someone falls out of it?” Peter asks. The window immediately slides closed. He pulls off his mask and shakes his head. Then he clicks his watch, and his suit retracts.
“Hey, guys!” he says, acknowledging his old teammates as they stare at him.
“Wow. You really are him. Like, I knew this, but it’s more real to see it in person,” Charles says.
“Is it weird if I say that it’s still weird to put on the suit and take it off? Like it feels unreal?” Peter asks.
“Not at all. Now fucking hug me, you bitch,” Cindy demands, causing Peter to laugh and oblige her. He makes his way around, not going so far as to fully hug Flash, but they side-hug. He nods to MJ, does a complex handshake with Ned, and hugs Pepper.
“Forgetting someone?” Harley asks. Peter looks over, grinning.
“How could I?” he smirks, walking over. The screen goes black, but the sound goes on.
It’s silent for a second before someone fake-gags.
“Get a room,” MJ calls.
“Okay, let’s go find your girlfriend,” Peter says, his voice getting further away again.]

Alright I’ll give you that. Plus now I can say it in the vine voice in my head.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I have just had the funniest 10 minutes of my life. They just met some of the fam. @fridaytheai roll it.

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
attachment
[video: The entire team is sitting on the couch when Clint runs through the room, shrieking.
“HE’S GONNA KILL ME--” Clint screams, attracting the attention of everyone in the room.
“HELL YES I AM, YOU DUMPED A BOTTLE OF GLITTER ON MY HEAD!” Steve yells, chasing Clint, glitter raining down around him as the two continue their chase. At the same time, Peter is extracting himself from the swarm of panicking geniuses.
A second later, Peter is launching himself into the fray, tackling Steve and holding him against the wall while Clint scrambles into the elevator and the doors slide shut.
“Do not wring his neck in front of everyone,” Peter warns his uncle, stretching up and brushing the glitter from Steve’s head. “Now. Go shower and get this shit off so dad doesn’t entirely lose it. You can come say hello later.”
At this point, Steve has noticed the horde of college students on the sectional and gone bright red.
“I’ll… I’ll be back,” he says, laughing at the glitter raining down around his face as he hurries down the other hallway.
“Oh my god, that was Captain America…” Abe mumbles, shellshocked.
“I’m afraid that if you’re that impressed by Steve, you’re not going to survive the rest of us,” Vision comments, floating through the floor. Sally falls off of her chair. “Hello, Peter! Peter’s friends.”
“Hey, Vis. These are my old teammates. That’s Sally, Cindy, Betty, Abe, Charles, Flash, and of course you know Ned and MJ.”
“Lovely to meet you all! I’m just here to warm these up,” Vision holds up two baby bottles full of milk. “Wanda said she would come say hello once the girls are done eating, but I wanted to greet you.”
“Thanks for stopping by! Are you guys gonna be able to make it up for dinner?” Peter asks, reaching over to close Cindy’s dropped jaw.
“We’re going to try. We’ll probably have to bring up the girls’ bassinets, but thankfully they’re not crying much these days, so it won’t be too disturbing.”
“Don’t worry about it,” Peter waved him off. “We survived Billy and Tommy, we’ll survive Kennedy and Lucy.”
“That’s very true. I’ll be going now, but I’ll see you all later!” Vision said cheerfully, floating back down through the floor.
“Does he just… do that?” Flash asks after a beat.
“Yeah. Scared me so bad the first time that I dropped my laptop,” Peter admitted.
“That you did,” Natasha comments, and everyone screams, turning to where she stands, entirely unnoticed until now. Even Peter is holding his chest.
“Stop. Doing. That,” he groans. Natasha smiles, and walks over to the group.
“So you’re… not going to introduce me?” she asks. Betty is totally frozen, and Flash looks like he’s seen a ghost.
“You act like you don’t know all of them already.”
“You’re right, I do. Betty, Abraham, Charles, Cindy, Sally, Flash. Nice to have faces to put with the background checks.”
“I… uhh…” Sally scrambles for words. “You’re kind of my hero.”
Natasha grins. “Thank you, I’m glad to hear that. It’s nice to meet you guys. By the way, Peter, Bruce will be here in 3… 2… 1…” she points as Bruce does indeed come from the hall.
“I knew that,” Peter grumbles, and then laughs. His old teammates are wide-eyed, following Bruce’s every move as he walks through the common area. Peter clears his throat. “Pops… whatcha doing?”
“Oh,” Bruce looks up from the file he was reading. “I forgot that today your friends were coming to stay. Hello.”
“YOU’RE BRUCE BANNER,” Cindy half-yells. Peter snorts and Bruce looks totally amused.
“That’s me,” he agrees. “I have no idea what your names are, I’m so sorry. Nat tried to get me to read her information on you guys, but I got side-tracked.”
They went through the group, introducing themselves and shaking hands with Bruce. By the end, everyone was starry eyed and Flash was grinning ear-to-ear.
“Okay, then,” Bruce coughed. “I’ll see you all in a while, yeah? Have fun,” he said, backing out of the room.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS MY LIFE?!?!” Cindy screamed, falling back on the couch.]

Cindy Moon @damnitmoonmoon
I stand by that.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I thought Charles was going to cry. It’s been a weird hour for all of them.

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
Okay so to retain a sense of normalcy before the resident supersoldiers show up to make dinner and kill everyone, we’re playing Mario Kart. Which will probably summon Clint. But in an hour i have watched these children:

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
Attempt to bow to me, almost shit themselves while meeting Bruce, Vision, Nat, and then seeing Clint twice (I wish there was a good video of the second sighting, because he fell out of a vent and everyone jumped 4 feet in the air), and then almost pass out when the entire Tower shook because Thor and Loki landed.

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
They haven’t even met Thor and Loki yet and they’re all dying just being in the same building.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
YEAH BY THE WAY: WHO FORGOT TO TELL ME LOKI AND THOR WERE COMING, I THINK ABE JUST SHAT HIMSELF.

Abraham @notlincoln
FUCK YOU I DID NOT

The Sally @itssallyyy
No one believes that.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Not even Loki believes you, and they’re not even IN here yet.

Stabby Fren (they/them) @godofmischief
I do not.

Abraham @notlincoln
This is bullying.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Well YEAH. That’s all we do around here.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Sally @itssallyyy
Fun fact: Loki wears pronoun bracelets all the time, not just when they’re in a costume that could cause confusion on their pronouns at the time. She/her bracelet is pink, they/them is orange, he/him is green! (Obviously they’re wearing their orange bracelet)

The Sally @itssalyyy
Also HOLY SHIT I JUST MET LOKI AND THOR. Thor is literally two and a half of Peter. It’s hilarious. He went to hug Thor and I thought he was going to be absorbed or something. And it’s not like Peter’s 5 feet tall or something. He’s 5’8” or something like that. Thor is just THAT big.

Flash Thompson @nottheflash
While we’re on the subject of literal ancient deities that are sharing the same couch as us: watching Peter hug Loki like they’re best friends (which I guess they kind of are?) and then watching Thor LIFT HIM OFF THE FLOOR in a hug? Kind of perspective-changing. I’m genuinely expecting a beatdown at some point this weekend. This is literally his family.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Nah, they all signed their OWN contracts.

Flash Thompson @nottheflash
The fact that they had to sign contracts does not make me feel any better

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
If you can get in the clear with even ONE of them, especially Dad, Steve or Nat, everyone will immediately be cool. Clint will respect you from the moment you prove to be fun to be around so he doesn’t count.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
You all have been asking for the other videos of my team meeting people, here you go. - Peter - attachments
[video: Abe, Shuri, Harley and Betty all sit on cushions on the floor, game controllers in hand as they play Mario Kart. Just then, Clint wanders in and sits down between Cindy and Flash. He smirks, his only acknowledgement that almost all eyes are on him ,but he keeps his eyes on the screen, watching Harley cross the finish line first, just a hair ahead of Shuri. Harley cheers as Shuri screams in frustration.
“Who’s next? Winner keeps playing!” Peter reminds everyone.
“Can I go?” Clint asks, and everyone nods vigorously, Abe even handing over his remote.
Shuri tosses her remote to Peter, and Betty gives hers to Ned.
It’s safe to say that it’s a close race, but in the end, Harley reigns supreme, Clint groaning good-naturedly and offering his remote to MJ, who takes it without so much as batting an eye at him. Flash and Sally take the other two controllers The next game is about to start when Clint realizes people are still stealing glances at him.
“Oh, yeah. I’m Clint, by the way,” he laughs. “And you all are…?”
Everyone introduces themselves and those with hands free shake his hand.
“I figured I could get away with a game before I needed to introduce myself. I assumed you all knew me, but I needed your names to trash talk,” Clint explained, and Peter snorted.]
[video: The group is currently taking a Mario break. Peter is in the kitchen getting snacks and Clint has wandered off, so the team is almost entirely on their own, save Harley and Shuri. It’s then that Wanda enters through the elevator holding both of her daughters, and as FRIDAY announces her, everyone’s heads whip toward her and jaws drop. Cindy might already be teary-eyed.
“I heard we had some new guests?” Wanda asks, smiling at the group. Harley jumps up to take one of the girls as he gestures to the team.
“Wanda, this is Abe, Charles, Betty, Cindy, Flash, Sally, and of course you know MJ, Ned and Shuri,” Harley explains as they both go to the couch to sit.
“It’s amazing to meet you all. Peter talks about you all often, and he speaks highly of you. Speaking of, where is the little spider?” Wanda asks.
“He’s in the kitchen,” Cindy pipes up, and Wanda smiles at her. “I also just wanted to say that, um, I love you and I think you’re a wonderful role model for girls everywhere. Not just girls, of course, but everyone! I’ve always thought you were amazing.”
“Thank you so much!” Wanda says. “Cindy, yes?” she pauses, waiting for Cindy’s nod. “Obviously I’m far from perfect, and it took me a long time to be worthy of the title of role model, some days I’m still not sure I deserve it but knowing that younger kids look up makes me want to try a little harder, you know?” she asks, and Cindy nods, responding.
“Hey, could someone run in and help me carry this stuff?” Peter calls from the other room. Without pausing her conversation with Cindy, Wanda flicks her arm toward the kitchen and two bowls of chips and jars of salsa and queso come floating into the room and settle on the table. Peter follows close behind and grins when he sees Wanda.
“Oh my god, the girls are so big now! Who said it was a good idea for you to live so far away?” Peter asks, making grabby hands at Lucy, who is reluctantly handed over by Harley.
“I think pretty much everyone was on board after the boys kept everyone up all night teething,” Wanda remarks, kissing Peter’s cheek as he settles onto the couch between her and Harley.
“Very true. That was a long few weeks,” Peter agrees, before looking around and remembering himself. “Have you met my friends yet?”
“No, Peter, I just sat down in a group of teenagers without any introductions. Your boyfriend made the introductions already,” Wanda says, waiting for Peter to nod and look relieved to avoid going through introductions again before going back to Cindy, and smiling as Betty and Sally jump into the conversation.]
[video: It’s not long after Wanda arrives that Steve and Bucky emerge from their room, headed for the kitchen. The team is still sitting around the living room, swapping stories with Wanda as they coo over the babies, sans Peter, who has his head firmly planted in a pillow (most of the stories are embarrassing ones about him). It’s Peter who notices the two soldiers first, most likely by their footsteps. He looks up and all but throws himself behind them.
“You’re looking significantly less sparkly,” MJ comments.
“This is a downgrade,” Shuri adds. Steve shakes his head.
“There’s still plenty in my hair. I’ll be finding it for years.”
“Actually, I’ll be finding it for years. You won’t notice it after tomorrow,” Bucky smirks.
“D’you wanna join us?” Harley asks. “We’ve been--”
“Hey, do you guys want more help with dinner?” Peter asks suddenly.
“Peter--” Bucky starts.
“Sure you do! Come on, let’s go!” Peter punctuates this sentence by pushing Steve and Bucky towards the kitchen.
“Yes, you can push us away from whatever is embarrassing you, but can we at least get some introductions first?” Steve laughs. “I’ve already been through once today without them, and it’s always easier to make conversation at dinner when I know everyone’s names.”
“Fine. Steve, Bucky.” Peter points as he talks. “Cindy, Flash, Abe, Sally, Betty, Charles. You know MJ and Ned.” he’s already pushing them towards the door as he finishes talking.
“Nice to meet you!” Bucky calls over their shoulder.
“Oh my god I’m going to faint,” Charles mutters.
“Get it all out of your system,” Wanda nods. “Steve has no concept of how much of a public figure he is and just talks to you like you’re a normal person at all times. It confuses him when people freak out too much and he ends up looking like a confused puppy.”]
[video: Harley is bent behind the tv, trying to get the switch set up for everyone to play on when dark clouds gather, thunder rolling through them, getting more intense by the second. Peter sighs, sinking into the couch, and later, there’s a massive flash of light and the entire tower shakes. Even MJ jumps with everyone, and there are a few very high pitched screams (Abe and Sally).
“Oh my god, you’re kidding me,” Peter sighs.
“‘Fraid not, darlin’,” Harley says.
“What the fuck was that?!” Betty asks, looking not unlike a startled cat.
“That…” Peter sighs. “That was the rest of the family. FRIDAY, tell Thor and Loki we’re in the main common room, please.”
As exasperated as Peter sounds with another group showing up without his knowledge, he looks vaguely excited.
“They haven’t been here in a few weeks, not since the last karaoke night,” Peter explains to his wide-eyed friends.
“Peter, Point Break and Loki are headed down to you now. Loki says that they are anticipating meeting your friends.”
“Holy shit…” Flash mumbles.
Just then, the elevator slides open and Thor comes bounding out like an excited puppy, Loki striding out from behind him.
“Stark-son!” Thor exclaims. Peter grins as he stands.
“Still not my name,” he says, but hugs Thor regardless, nearly disappearing under his arms and height. When he emerges, he looks to Loki, eyes flicking down to the bracelet on their wrist.
“Hey, Lo,” Peter says, moving closer to them slower than they did Thor, giving Loki a chance to say no or back away. But Loki only glared at him for a second before stepping forward and wrapping Peter into a bigger hug than Thor had. “Oh so you didn’t miss me or anything?” Peter mumbled, face pressed to Loki’s shoulder.
“We shouldn’t be allowed to be apart for this long. Who will stop me from murdering my dear brother?” Loki asks as they part. Peter clocks his classmates wide eyes.
“Guys, they’re kidding. I promise,” Peter laughed.
“Actually, Loki has been known for their murderous trickery for ages! Why, I remember one time, they--”
“Thor,” Peter gritted out, eyes wide. Thor shut his mouth. Peter turned to his classmates.
“Guys, this is Loki and Thor. Loki, Thor, this is Betty, Sally, Abe, Flash, Cindy, and Charles. Of course you’ve met MJ and Ned.”
“Of course!” Thor booms, excited smile on his face. “Lady Michelle, Edward! It is lovely to see you again!”
“Why do you call her ‘Lady’, but you don’t call Ned ‘Sir’?” Betty asks.
“Because… I believe women should always be treated well,” Thor says.
“Because she frightens him,” Loki says at the same time, and Thor shoots them a dirty look. MJ just looks smug.]

The Sally @itssallyyy
Yup. That happened.

Flash Thompson @nottheflash
That. Was. Thor. He smiled at us. I think I swooned. I'm not even lying.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
Okay we’re all pretty much done for the night, but have this - attachment
[FRIDAY video: The team is on the couch watching a movie. Peter sits upside down, attached to the ceiling. Suddenly, Tony is walking in from a door off to the side. He stands a few feet from the back of the couch and watches everyone for a second.
“What, no parade?” he asks, and everyone jerks, Shuri sends the popcorn flying, and Peter yelps and falls from the ceiling. He rights himself at the last second.
“You’re so fucking annoying, you know that?” Peter mutters, rounding the couch and launching into Tony.
“Woah, apparently I was gone longer than I thought,” Tony jokes. “Okay. I have a general idea of who you are but, uhhh…”
“Oh! I’m Cindy,” Cindy starts, turning herself completely around. “Cindy Moon. This is Flash Thompson, Sally Avril, Charles Murphy, Abe Brown, and Betty Brant.”
“Great to meet you all. Welcome. I hope no one has tried to scare the shit out of you yet.”
“Thor and Loki had Abe shitting himself, and I think Sally cried after she met Nat, but Nat scared all of them. Amateurs,” MJ reports. Tony snorts, still holding onto Peter with one hand. He pauses for a second and mumbles something to Peter, who mumbles back before stepping back.
“Shit, I almost forgot. Harley, Peter with me. We have… company stuff,” Tony says. The look Shuri and MJ share agrees that he’s full of shit, but Harley scrambles off the couch and follows them down the hall.
“What the fuck that was Tony fucking Stark,” Charles whisper-screams. Cindy screams quietly.
“You’ll hate him by this time tomorrow. He’s such a dick,” Shuri tells them.
“Will you stop that?” MJ sighs. “You’ll scare the poor commoners.”
“That’s the idea, darling,” Shuri grins.
“So, MJ, if you marry Shuri, does that make you a princess, too?” Ned asked. MJ slaps him upside the head.
“Ouch!” he grumbles.]

nedwardian technology @nedleeds
Harley’s been back for a hot minute and the movie is playing again but uhhh… our dear friend Spidey? Where??? Is he???

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
when you’re going to the bathroom and walk past a room with the door open and see Tony Stark and Peter sitting on a bed while Peter leans on Stark’s shoulder and Stark talks to him quietly about something while he holds him in one of those half-hugs. I get it. Dads can be good. Rub it in!

Chapter Text

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I feel a little bad for all my friends. They just look overwhelmed. Little do they know it’s going to get so much worse.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Recap of last night: they arrived and met most of the fam. But, because Dad got home late, Pepper had to go to the Compound to deal with security issues, and Wanda and Vision couldn’t get any of the kids to cooperate long enough to set them down or let them run loose, they couldn’t make it upstairs.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
SO we watched a movie and dad, Harls and I talked about company stuff before I finally sent everyone to bed so they wouldn’t go into shock.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
And yes, Bucky, Steve, and I cooked. It still got eaten! Just not all together at the massive table.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Tonight: everyone is here, everyone who isn’t here is coming, and not only are we having a full family dinner, we’re doing karaokeeee. It took some convincing-- and pouting-- but it’s happening!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’m giving them a few hours of sort-of normalcy. They’re gonna get a tour of the tower like most schools get, like we almost got in junior year, but thankfully I got Pepper to realize what she was doing and had her give the tour to someone else

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Then we’re just gonna vibe for a while before dinner and spectate as Steve starts drinking. The man’s gotta start early. We’re really buying those damn companies out.

Xavi⚧️🌈 @trans_spider_stan
Okay. Technical question? How much do @steverogers and @buckybarnes have to drink to actually GET drunk?

Cap’s Bitch @buckybarnes
A lot. We don’t get drunk a lot (despite what the past month has looked like) so there’s no official number.

Xavi⚧️🌈 @trans_spider_stan
Well I’m sure the companies you guys are buying from are grateful.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I think we got a thank you note from fucking Budweiser.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
OKay soooo we took the tour of the tower and several things happened

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
1. Harley and Peter snuck away while we were looking through the museum and started making out. Abe found them behind, not shocking, the spidey exhibit.

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
2. We went to the training floor and saw Bucky and Natasha training and there was not one of us (besides Peter of course) that was not dying of some sort of hot-person-induced-panic

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
3. We were in the shared lab between Peter, Mr. Stark and Dr. Banner, and Mr. Stark and Dr. Banner came down in the elevator. But they were… yeah they were making out and I don’t think we knew what to do. Except for Peter, who covered his own eyes and yelled about children being present. They both went beet red and didn’t even get out of the elevator.

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
4. Sam Fucking Wilson flew through the open wall of the cafeteria and grabbed Peter and flew right back out the side. He didn’t bring him back for like 5 minutes.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We were all scarred after dad and pops made an appearance

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
WE WERE NOT MAKING OUT

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
WE ALL BEG TO DIFFER. THAT WAS TONSIL HOCKEY.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Soooo everyone did meet Sam after he had stopped dangling me by an ankle off of the tower and brought me back. Betty did her future-president-networking thing that she’s basically been trying to do with the fam all day.

Not-Ugly Betty @futurepresident
I HAVE TO MAKE CONNECTIONS FOR ENDORSEMENTS

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We know, we know. It’s all you’ve been saying all day. You pitched your campaign (tentative, of course) to Clint Barton. He doesn’t care. You didn’t beat him at Mario Kart. He’ll endorse you.

Not-Ugly Betty @futurepresident
It’s terrifying how little I have to do to get an endorsement around here.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
It’s terrifying that right now you think that’s the scariest thing that will happen while you’re here

Not-Ugly Betty @futurepresident
Well NOW I don’t think that

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
You haven’t seen Steve try to sing drunk. You’ll wish you were drunk, too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
skdjkjfkj guys

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
I think we just watched Captain America piss himself.

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
Roll the tape, FRI - Peter - attachment
[video: Steve, Peter, Tony, Natasha, Shuri, and the entire AcaDec team sit on the balcony, Steve telling the story of his first meeting with Director Fury.
“Now, if Carol was on-planet, she might try to tell you all that Fury isn’t as scary as he claims to be, but I call bullshit.”
“What the hell makes this guy so scary?”Flash asks, leaning forward between Abe and Betty’s shoulders to ask. No one dares comment as Fury himself comes to stand in the doorway, glaring at them.
“He has an eyepatch. No eyeball behind it,” Steve says, sounding a little tipsy. “He wears all black all the time, and he always looks at you like he knows your greatest weaknesses. And he’s fucking stealthy.”
“Good to know that my technique is still good, Rogers,” comments Fury from where he’s standing. The AcaDec team, who had seen him coming, only laughed as the adults, Peter included, jumped. Steve shrieks, leaping from his seat and jerking his head around to stare at the Director.
“Uncle Nick!” Peter grins, earning a glare from Fury, which he responds to by turning up the wattage of his smile.
“Fury.”
“Uncky Nicky.”
“Fury.”
“Nicholas!”
“Fury.”
“If you stop fighting him, he’ll stop. He’s like a toddler,” MJ pipes up. Peter pouts in her direction.
“He hates to admit that he actually likes the kid,” Maria pipes up, squeezing between Fury and the door frame and sliding her arms around Nat. “Peter is unhateable,” she comments casually towards the team. “We love him to death. I’m Maria, by the way. I apologize ahead of time for how I act when I’m drunk.”
They go around doing introductions. During this, Steve quietly stands up, face still red, and leaves the balcony. Fury only smirks and takes his seat.]

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
No, I don’t know if he peed. I was training when this all went down. He refuses to answer yes or no.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Fun fact: Steve calls Bucky “James” when he gets really pissed off. I have never heard anyone call them that and get away with it. But Bucky just fucking cowers.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
attachment
[video: “For the love of god, I did NOT pee. I just jumped!” Steve yells.
“Are you sure, doll?” Bucky asks.
James.”
At the near-snarl of their first name, Bucky’s eyes widen and they jump back like they’re on fire.
“Okay, fine. Don’t have to ‘James’ me in front of everyone,” he says, hands up in defeat.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’VE never even seen that happen.

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
I cannot tell you how many years we went without him calling me that, especially while we were getting used to being actual people in the 21st century. And then I don’t remember what I said or did, but he just snapped “James” at me and I thought I was going to pass out. It was kind of that moment that set us off towards getting back to being comfortable together.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Gay

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Not just gay. Super gay. Mega-queer. Ultra homo

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Dad’s already drunk. Our bad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cindy Moon @dammitmoonmoon
I just… I took part in Avengers Karaoke Night.

Flash Thompson @nottheflash
This has to be a dream because if it’s not, Thor actually put me on his shoulders and I am going to die.

Not-Ugly Betty @futurepresident
Pepper Potts actively sang along to “What I Know Now” from Beetlejuice. And her voice is good. PEPPER POTTS.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh okay so fun fact from last time that I meant to add but never did: I make everyone watch musicals ALL the time. More than once we’ve actually gone down to Broadway and SEEN them. Our collective favorite is Heathers or Beetlejuice

The Sally @itssallyyy
Singing “Four Jews in a Room Bitching” with all the Jewish people in the room was incredible.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh! Another thingy: Fury refused flat out to stay and embarrass himself on social media. Imagine that. He stayed for dinner and then all but ran out the door.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
In the morning when everyone is still sleeping off the hangovers, I’ll start editing and posting videos.

Stabby Fren (he/him) @godofmischief
I cannot believe I was talked into doing another one of these so quickly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay so the team helped me figure out the best ones, they’re going to get posted. We have like 3 hours of footage, 25 songs within it, something like that. But we did stick to the musical theme.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
So 3 or 4 will end up on Twitter, the rest of them will be linked. The usual.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
This one was actually requested once people saw the ‘Say My Name’ video. From a scale of 0-100% drunk, I would say everyone is at about 60%. So here you go: What I Know Now - attachment
[video: “Ooooh, we should do ‘What I Know Now’!” Peter says.
“Sure, why not?” Clint agrees. “FRI, you heard Spidey.”
“Of course,” FRIDAY says, and the music begins to play.
“I was hot,” Wanda sighs. “I went to parties a lot. Y’know?” she glances over to the youngest twins, asleep in their portable bassinet.
“I was driving Lamborghinis, sipping super-dry martinis--” Tony continues.
“In the tiniest bikinis!” Pepper calls, wolf-whistling.
“On a yacht,” Tony completes the line.
“But I was depressed!” the entire AcaDec team laments at the same time.
As the song continues, everyone takes lines, purposely over-dramatizing each piece.
“If I knew then--” Steve starts.
“What I know now!” Bucky jumps in.
“I would’ve laughed and danced and lanced every sacred cow!” Thor and Loki take this as their moment to jump in.
“I thought I knew!” the rest of the Avengers sing.
“But I was wrong!” the AcaDec people cry out.
“‘Cause life is short, but death is super long!” the entire group sings.
“I EXPLODED!” Harley shouts, tickling Peter’s side and is rewarded with a scream.
Sam and Clint start to attempt to dance a tango/salsa/jazz fusion. It ends with them tripping over themselves (and Steve’s legs, stretched from the couch to the coffee table) and inciting laughter so loud and drunken that the last 30 seconds of the song are lost.]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I was OBSESSED with Hamilton back when it first was released as a movie. This means everyone memorized it (mostly) by association. Satisfied - attachment
[video: “A toast to the groom!” Maria sings.
“To the groom, to the groom, to the groom,” everyone hums, quieter.
“To the bride!” Wanda carries on.
“To the bride, to the bride, to the bride,” the others continue on.
“From your sister!”
“Angelica, Angelica, Angelica,” the backup singers continue.
Everyone begins to pair off and attempt to ballroom dance, but they mostly look like baby deer trying to walk. There ends up being an odd number, so Thor basically tosses Flash onto his shoulders and begins to attempt dancing with Sam. Flash is pink the entire time, blushing from the neck up.
“Rewind!” everyone calls as they break up from dancing. Thor sets Flash down on the couch. “Rewind!”
“I remember that night I just might…” Thor sings.
“I remember that night I just might regret that night for the rest of my days. I remember those soldier boys tripping over themselves to win our praise,” Steve takes over, winking at Bucky.
“I remember that dreamlike candlelight, like a dream that you can’t quite place.” It's Tony’s turn to join the song. “But Alexander, I’ll never forget the first time I saw your face.”
As the group sings and raps through more of the song, Peter sits and listens, and he and Cindy share a grin.
“So, so, so, so this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level, what the hell is the catch? It’s the feeling of freedom, of seein’ the light. It’s Ben Franklin with a key and a kite! You see it right?” The two pause, and Peter very obviously struggles to hold onto his composure as he takes in some of the slack-jawed faces around them. “The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes, everything we said in total agreement! It’s a dream and it’s a bit of a dance. A bit of a posture, it’s a bit of a stance. He’s a bit of a flirt, but I’ma give it a chance. I asked about his family, did you see his answer? His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance. He’s penniless, he’s flyin’ by the seat of his pants.”
There are scattered cheers and clapping as the rest of the AcaDec team fields Angelica’s ‘3 Fundamental Truths’.
As the song ends, Natasha pipes up, something she rarely does.
“And I know… she’ll be happy as his bride. And I knooowww…” she pauses. “He will never be satisfied… I will never be satisfieddd…” the last notes of the song play, and she glares at everyone. “Not a word.”
But everyone is already cheering and clapping and taking shots, so Maria just wraps herself around her girlfriend, who only protests a little bit.]

I think this goes without saying that everyone is about 100% drunk. - The Lonely Goatherd (from the Sound of Music) - attachment
[video: The intro music plays just as Peter enters the room from the hall, and he throws back his head and laughs so hard he falls to his knees.
“HIGH ON A HILL WAS A LONELY GOATHERD,” Clint screams. “LAY EE ODL LAY EE ODL LAY HEE HOO.”
“LOUD WAS THE VOICE OF THE LONELY GOATHERD, LAY EE ODL LAY EE ODL-OOH,” Sam yells.
“Oh you cannot be serious,” Steve sighs, laying on the couch and holding his head. Bucky just cackles, joining hands with Clint, Sam, Maria, Wanda, Abe, and grabbing Peter from the sidelines and skipping in a circle, swinging their hands and singing. Harley is howling on the couch, taking his own video, Betty wiping her eyes next to him. Peter is snorting, tripping over his own feet as he tries to keep up.
“ONE LITTLE GIRL IN A PALE PINK COAT HEARD: LAY EE ODL LAY EE ODL LAY HEE HOO,” Sam sings.
“SHE YODELED BACK TO THE LONELY GOATHERD: LAY EE ODL LAY EE ODL-OOH,” Wanda yodels, breaking herself and Maria from the circle and dancing around the room with her. Nat giggles from the floor, where she’s leaning against the couch.
No one sings the next verse, too busy laughing and dancing.
“HAPPY ARE THEY, LAY DEE OLAY DEE LEE O,” the entire group yells, Wanda dragging the entire AcaDec team up to dance with them.
By the time the yodeling finally ends, the song is long over, and everyone has collapsed on the couch. Bruce exited silently over a minute ago, Tony and Vision are sharing a chair, Wanda sprawled on top of them, Sam and Bucky are sitting behind Steve on the couch, legs draped over his torso, and Maria has lifted Natasha to sit on her lap.
“Okay. I’m done for the night,” Tony groans, sliding under Wanda and onto the floor to stumble down the hall.
“We’re out, too,” Ned says, nodding to himself and Betty, and they leave down the other hallways to whoops and whistles from the entire AcaDec team.
“We should do more from the Sound of Music!” Maria cheers.
“No more Sound of Music,” Steve, Natasha, Peter, and Vision groan.]

I love this boy. This was after everyone went to bed. - Falling Slowly - attachment
[video: “Okay,” Peter sighs. “I think I got Wanda into bed okay. She’s going to be completely worthless all day tomorrow. Poor Vis.”
“We’ll help her babysit,” Harley sighs from the couch. “That’s everyone in their rooms, drunk protocol enabled, right?”
“Yes, yes it is,” Peter says, flopping down and nestling into Harley’s side.
“You think you have one more song in you, darlin’?”
“Depends on the song,” Peter yawns.
“I think you’ll be okay. FRI, you know the song.”
“I do, Potato Son,” FRIDAY says, and music begins to play over the speakers, much slower than most of the songs that had played previously.
“Oh, this one? Well, I guess I’ll survive it,” Peter teases, and Harley grins, standing up and pulling Peter with him.
”I don’t know you, but I want you all the more for that,” the singer starts off quiet, voice growing in volume. ”Words fall through me, and always fool me, and I can’t react.”
The two lock their arms around each other, Harley’s arms around Peter’s neck, Peter’s arms around Harley’s waist.
”Take this sinking boat and point it home, we've still got time. Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice. You’ll make it now. Falling slowly, eyes that know me.”
The pair sways to the music, and as the music crescendos, Harley grabs Peter’s hand and spins him away and then back towards him, pulling him back and holding him by the waist now.
”Falling slowly, sing your melody. I’ll sing it now.”
Peter and Harley just sway and spin until the end of the song, and then Peter, in a surprise move, dips Harley almost to the ground, bringing him back up and letting him go.
“You ready for bed, baby?” Peter murmurs. “Because I sure as fuck am. You can join me or not.”
Harley snorts quietly. “I’m past ready to fall into a mini-coma. Wrestling Clint into his room was a battle.”]

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Yes, I know I have the best boyfriend ever. And I wasn’t going to post that because it felt weird to ME, but I’m not mad he did <3

Vision joining in to sing in Candy Store sent meeeee

Oh god vision loves heathers, it’s so weird but we love him anyway.

Ophelia @spaghettibish
Of all the avengers and co, I did NOT expect the one whose favorite was Heathers would be the Vision

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
No what cracks me up is the fact that Billy and Tommy love the songs too because Vis plays it around the house so they can sing along in their own toddler way.

We’re all dying here. Family dinner details?

ask me about plaudius @PlaudiusPlants
yEAH!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay, overview time! Wanda, Bucky, Steve, Natasha, Cindy and Abe all worked to make dinner. They then GLOATED all night about their amazing dinner. Loki wasn’t sure how to treat the team, he was going back and forth between talking to them like children or like his equals. Neither of which felt right. He doesn’t even talk to me like he’s my equal. We all know he’s not.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Uncle Fury (if you’re seeing this you can pry the Uncle part out of my cold dead goddamn hands) just glared at everyone except for Natasha, who he held a decent conversation with, and people jumped in and out of that. And when I say people I mean the bravest of the Avengers.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Bucky wore their apron, it’s super floral and ugly and he KNOWS IT, but it cracks Sam up and Bucky just likes it apparently. Clint FaceTimed Zelda and sat his phone at an empty spot at the table so she could be there and meet everyone. It was chaos

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Maria and Nat disappeared for a while. I refuse to think about it. Pops looked very overwhelmed. He started drinking early.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We watched Steve drink more beer than any of us had ever seen in one place in our lives. He needs the most, then Bucky, then Loki, then Thor.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Dr. Strange popped in for a minute! He obviously wasn’t expecting 20-odd people to be staring at him, because he just looked afraid for a minute before dragging dad through the portal for a few minutes before giving him back. He glared at me when I yelled thank you. But he likes me. I know he does. He just doesn’t know it yet.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Shuri actually had to go back to Wakanda early on classified business. As in she didn’t know anything, but T’Challa told her to get back pretty much immediately. So she didn’t get to stay for fun things, but we all had an awesome time while she WAS here. MJ was surly the rest of the night. Imagine that.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Betty and Ned kissed. A lot.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Charles got so tired by like 1 AM he was spilling secrets left and right. Told Abe right to his face that he was in love with him. Sooooo YEAH

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Cindy and Betty were basically attached to Pep all night, but it was sweet, and Pepper seemed to enjoy all the questions. Flash wasn’t sure what to do with himself. I think general queer panic was raging in that poor man’s head.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I think that’s everything significant? But I got up. I posted things. And now I’m tired again and I am going back to sleep and that is Final :)

Notes:

FIRST THINGS FIRST: I HAVEN'T SEEN BLACK WIDOW-- I know, what kind of fan am I? But it's been kind of hard to find a time where everyone who wants to see it can go. So no spoilers in the comments pleaseeeeeee
With that said: please drop a comment if you're enjoying this story! I know I have a lot of fun with it, and it means the world to know people are enjoying it just as much as I am!
If you have any ideas, please don't hesitate to drop those in the comments as well! And of course, if you want to be apart of the fic, all you have to do is let me know by dropping the username/name you want to use!
I also tagged the song that Peter and Harley dance to because I love it so much and it makes me v emotional

Chapter 35: Merry Chrysler

Summary:

It's Christmas in the Twitter-verse! Stark Industries holds a benefit, someone proposes, and Steve and Bucky announce their wedding date!

Notes:

I know I usually don't include this much romance in chapters. But guys. I just watched Young Royals. And I am so single. I'm only reading romance books right now, I refuse to touch anything else. I've been writing emotional hurt/comfort in my spare time to let off some steam so I don't turn this into solely romance.
That said, I hope you enjoy this chapter! I loved finding all the gorgeous outfits for the benefit, and I'm already working on outfits for Steve and Bucky's wedding!
(I'm so sorry for being gone for so long, I had literally 4 days of writing AGGRESSIVELY romantic shit that has nothing to do with this plot because I want it out of my system)

This chapter takes place: on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, 2021

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Okay he doesn’t want to share his face or social media, but he said I could tell you his name. So my fiance’s name is Archeron, but we all call him Archie because he doesn’t like his full name.

[video: the camera is set up across the room from Harley and Peter. Harley hands Peter a medium sized gift.
“This is the last gift I got you,” he says, and Peter smiles at him, tearing off the wrapping paper and opening the box to find another wrapped box. He takes off the paper and opens that box to reveal… another box.
He repeats the process 5 more times before picking up a card, and reads it.
“Merry Christmas, darlin’. I love you so much. Look to your left,” Peter reads, and as he’s reading the card, Harley pulls out a small box. Wanda slaps a hand over her mouth as Peter looks to his left. He sees Harley, quirks an eyebrow, and then notices the box in his hand, gasping as tears spring to his eyes.
“It’s not an engagement ring. I’m not asking you to marry me. Not yet. Okay?” Harley asks, and Peter nods, eyes still wide and teary. Harley pops the box open to reveal this ring, and uses the hand he’s not using to hold the box and grab’s Peter’s. “This is a promise ring. Some people use it to signify dedication to their partner, some of them use it when they’re not planning to get married. But for us, this is just a placeholder. This ring will hold the place of an engagement ring for a little while. And then one day I’ll propose, and that ring I use will take its place. But for now… Peter Parker, will you marry me someday?”
“You’re such a fucking dork,” Peter snorts, wiping a tear away hastily. “Of course I’ll marry you someday.”
“Good,” Harley grins, sliding the ring onto Peter’s finger and kissing him quickly.]

@ all the avengers and co, what’s your favorite gift from the holidays this year?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I think we know my obvious answer, so I’m going to go with my second-favorite gift. It’s kind of stupid, but Harley and I got all of the Avengers those soft onesies? Like the ones that you can find at Wal-Mart? And Harley got me one, too. It’s an Iron Man one, because my someday-husband is a dork and a jerk.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Honestly Bruce and I loved our onesies, we agreed it’s our favorite gift. I got a spidey one. Technically we could trade, pete. We’re basically the same size

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’ll just steal yours and have two or something.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
I think my favorite gift was from my kids, they painted a set of coffee mugs for Zel and I. Cooper and Lila are definitely artistic, and they turned out really great. Nate painted his very own set for us, of course. It’s very abstract, he has potential

Mama Spy-der @natasharomanov
My возлюбленная got me several new pairs of pointe shoes and the thread I use to fix my shoes the way I like them. Of course she got me other things and so did other people, but that’s my favorite gift

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
I don’t know that this counts as a GIFT, but last time we were in Florida, Buck and I came across this place called Painting with a Twist, and we both wanted to try it, but we didn’t have time. We thought they were based in Florida, but it turns out they have hundreds of locations all over the country! So we went to their Queens location and bought a few different painting kits to do together.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
We actually asked for people to not do much for Christmas this year for us, because we’re getting married so soon, and of course all our friends have told us they’re getting us INSANE gifts, so we said to go lightly on the holiday gifts.

Natasha Calls Me RiRi @mariahill
Stark got me 5 spa day certificates. If @dammitmoonmoon won’t do it, I will. @tonystark *pat pat* good genius. Smart billionaire.

Chapter 36: The Avengers and Co. Are Hereby Banned from Monopoly

Summary:

It's New Years Eve, and somehow Peter has convinced everyone to play a game of Monopoly to ring in the new year! There's also a bet amongst some Twitter users over whether the Earth's Mightiest Disasters will miss midnight...

Notes:

I KNOW I'VE BEEN M.I.A.!!! I STARTED MY SENIOR YEAR AND HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO TIME TO WRITE. SO THIS CHAPTER ISN'T VERY LONG. BUT I HAD FUN ANYWAY.
Plus, I've never played Monopoly in my LIFE. So I couldn't do a lot of detail
Updates will come a little slower now because: I'm back in school with a full course load, I'm buckling down on writing an actual book, I run a bookstagram, read 5+ books a week, and work on multiple fanfics at a time! So I do a LOT within the media-production community and I don't want to burn myself out!
This chapter takes place: on New Year's Eve Day

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Yup. This will prove that we truly are mighty, because we will make it through this game and relationships will all remain intact

The bi disaster @beterbarker

And I can already FEEL the people headed for me with #letthorplaymonopoly or wtf ever. I hope it is painfully obvious that we all love Thor. He’s more of a brother to me than he is an uncle. Just like Loki and I are like siblings.

The bi disaster @beterbarker
He’s just the most competitive player of all of us, and he takes it way too seriously. I assume it’s the whole “been in battle for 1,000 years” thing

I’m just here to confirm that, yes, we are going to play Monopoly later.

astra maris @certifiedilflover
Who wants to bet that they’ll miss midnight entirely?

Shuri Supremacy @unfortunatelysherlocked
I’m in. I say they don’t notice until 12:30

Shuri Supremacy @unfortunatelysherlocked
What do(es) the winner(s) get?

Shannon, I’m in the cupboard, like the others @whatislifeanymore
Everyone else who’s in on the bet and lost has to shout them out on all platforms. I don’t think they’ll miss it

Ainsel @donttouchme
1:15 for me

Saphy (she/her) @stressedbisexual
I’m going to say that they never notice it. If they do, they never acknowledge it online. I think they’ll fall asleep playing the game. No winner and no noticing the New Year

Xavi⚧️🌈 (he/they/xe) @trans_spider_stan
I’m with @stressedbisexual

simone emilia @salsaandstarburst
@booksandspite and I are saying 12:05

I’m in for 12:15

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I’ve been informed that we can’t start with Monopoly. We have to warm up, so we’re starting with Life. Because that’s going to go well, clearly. And it doesn’t take a million years or anything.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
It’s also because a few people are on dates and need to come home before we can play. Technical question: how many people can play monopoly?

Hasbro @hasbro
Monopoly can be played by as many people as you want. Minimum amount is 2 people, but if you have enough tokens, 100 people could play if that was what you wanted.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okay so it’s reasonable to play with 16 people. Gotcha. We have every single token there is, dad collected as many as he could and then we cheated and 3D printed the rest.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Thor is the banker, by the way. He was more than okay to do that.

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
All token pieces are now final, everyone who didn’t call one can no longer call one, you get what you get.

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
Also, I’m supposed to update you because I’m already here, but (shockingly) Clint won Life. He had $2,525,650

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
How did Stark take that?

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
We’re on a date. Why are you keeping tabs on this?

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
…out of morbid curiosity, how DID Tony take that?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Take a guess

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
@fridaytheai do you have a video?

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
I’m afraid that I have already been forbidden by The Big Boss to not show that video clip.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Fuck he beat us to it

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I was going to put it on YouTube

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Oh god his anger is going to fuel him. He’s going to destroy us at Monopoly.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Send backup @princessshuri

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
Honestly, if only I could. I have to be home because being a Princess means I have to ring in the new year with my people. I love them, of course, but it’s not quite like I can go down to the big party. T’Challa, Mother and I just sit and watch.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
We ring in the new year a few hours after you do, so why don’t I just call you when you’ve done your royal duties?

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
OH HEY THAT’S RIGHT! IN THAT CASE, I MIGHT HAVE YOUR SURPRISE READY IN TIMEEE

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
???

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
Well. It’s actually for MJ. But you’ll see!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Okayyy I will continue hounding you about this over text. In the meantime, Sam and Archie and Steve and Bucky aren’t him yet, so we’re playing Risk. Because we obviously hate ourselves.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
The more I think about it, the more I’m glad I gave up my spot in Risk for Harls to play.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
We spent a few hours yesterday rigging up a little machine so we could pilot the board around the table so no one had to reach. I can’t believe I was an accomplice in this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
30 minutes in and Nat is already getting very creative with her swear words.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Now THIS would be a fun game to play with a swear jar in place.

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Even you would go broke after a game like that.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Okay, I’m pretty sure that all of the squares have been bought up. Now comes the nasty part: renting, taxing, betrayal. Peter is in the ZONE tonight, but Tony’s really aggressive after losing at Life AND Risk.

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
Harley and Pepper aren’t messing around either.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
Stark Industries past, present, and future, people.

Natasha Calls Me RiRi @mariahill
I’ll bet that we’ll have 4 people left after about 2 hours, and it’ll be Tony or Pepper, Peter or Harley, Zelda, and someone else. Who that is remains to be seen.

Saphy (she/her) @stressedbisexual
I think maybe Vision or maybe Sam. Don’t ask me why. I have a feeling

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
Both are entirely possible. Zelda is also a contender in my book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
NO WE DO NOT HAVE A WINNER YET, IT HASN’T BEEN THAT LONG

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
IT’S LITERALLY PAST MIDNIGHT HERE. IT’S BEEN HOURS

erin:) (she/they) @queervengers
@drbrucebanner who are the final 4?

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
Peter, Zelda, Tony, and Archie

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Pepper fought for a spot, she almost beat out Archie. It was… interesting. I’ve never seen Monopoly played so aggressively before

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
AND ZELDA IS GONE. AND THEN THERE WERE THREE

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
THERE GOES DAD. IT’S JUST ARCHIE AND I

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What the fuck, Shuri @princessshuri
I’m sorry there are literally two of you left, how long can this take

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
You’d think it wouldn’t take long. But here we are.

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
I fucking hate this game

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Do you hate it because it’s taking so long that you’re having a hard time staying awake or because you had… p l a n s for Peter before midnight?

My Boy <3 @harleythepotatokid
Replace that OR with an AND…

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I SURRENDER, ARCHIE WINS. GOODBYE TWITTER

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Oh EW

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
… and they did, in fact, just leave the room. At top fucking speed. Gross. Gross. So gross.

Uncle Robo-Bird @samwilson
While… whatever is happening down the hall happens, leave board game suggestions to get us to midnight!

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
...how. How did we land on MONOPOLY?!?! AGAIN?!

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
Haha Peter and Harley can’t play because… yeah

haha, i can call her mj @michellejones
Jesus fucking CHRIST-- STILL

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Apparently so--

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
Okay so we’ve established that Peter and Harley are gross, but now YOU ALL HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEE

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
Okay, shuri, we’re all paying attention to you.

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
Fantastic. Now that you’re paying attention, give me 5 minutes. If I haven’t posted by then, it may not be a bad idea to give T’Challa a call and have him check on me

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Got it.

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
I FUCKING DID IT. I LITERALLY FUCKING DID IT. 2022, BITCHES - attachment
[video: Shuri, sitting in front of the camera.
“So, okay,” she starts, her hands are shaking, and she looks excited. “I think… I think. I think I just invented teleportation. I was going to teleport to Peter’s room, but after a quick look at Twitter, he and Harley are nasty, and I’m not even going to try that. So, instead, I’m going to surprise my girlfriend.”
She pauses, turning on her phone and pressing a few buttons. She turns her phone to show the screen that she’s calling MJ, speakerphone on. The call connects.
“What’s up, princess?” MJ’s voice comes through the phone.
“Hey,” Shuri says. “So, I have a question.”
“You could have texted me?”
“I could have, but this is more fun. And I actually have a few questions.”
“May as well ask, you’ve got me now,” MJ sounds grumpy, but Shuri’s grin shows that she knows MJ isn’t mad at all.
“Question one: are you home?”
“Yeah, I’m home.”
“Are you in your room?”
“...yes? Shuri, what is--”
“And are you up for some company?”
“Only if you invented teleportation.”
Shuri is quiet.
“Shuri--” MJ starts. “No fucking way.”
“We’re about to find out,” Shuri tells her, and steps away from the camera, pivoting it to face another part of the room, where what looks like a shower stall stands. “I’m literally getting into the device right now. So I should be there in a minute. The call might disconnect.”
“That’s okay.” MJ says.
“Alright, calibrating the device right now, and I’m headed your way!”
“This is crazy. What if it doesn’t work?”
“It’s going to work,” Shuri says, sounding sure of herself as she straps two bands around each wrist. “Three… two… one… I’m on my way,” she says, grinning as she presses the button. The video ends.]
[video: Shuri, taking a video on her phone in selfie mode. She places her phone down and steps back, in a completely different room
“I FUCKING DID IT!” she screams, jumping up and down next to a bed. “Get in here,” she grins, pulling MJ into frame. MJ is half-grinning as she wraps her arms around Shuri’s waist.
“Now you can come see me all the time,” MJ says, resting her cheek on top of Shuri’s head.
“Yup! You, but not PETER AND HARLEY, because they were too busy to even know when I invented teleportation,” Shuri smirks, and steps forward to turn off the camera.]

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Oh my god you actually invented teleportation. Like, actually.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU ACTUALLY DID IT. YOU REALLY DID IT. OH MY GOD.

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
NOW YOU’RE ON YOUR PHONE?!?!

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
FRI told me to check my phone.

Caw Caw Motherfuckers @clintbarton
You know you’re killing your father, right? We are like, one more mention of you being down the hall with Harley away from him throwing up.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
But the question is: is it because it’s me doing it or is it because he’s ace?

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
He says it’s a yes to both

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
OKAY FINE, WE’RE COMING BACK.

Sokovia Sis @scarletwitch
Poor Harley is fire hydrant red. Tony can’t look either of them in the eye.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Okay, I don’t actually care that they’re, in the word of our dear friend Cap, fonduing.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
I hate you

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
They’re adults. I can’t tell them not to, and I wouldn’t if I could. It’s their bodies. I can, however, be grossed out about it. First of all, they’re my kids. Anyone with kids can probably corroborate the fact that thinking about your kids doing... that... just feels gross. Also, I’m sex repulsed so that plays into it.

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
We’re all at least a little grossed out whenever Peter and Harley bring up fonduing.

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Bucky, meet floor. Floor, this is Bucky.

Summary:

It's time for a wedding! Steve and Bucky finally say "I do" after 100 years... give or take. There's also a throwback in this chapter to something mentioned back in Chapter 22, see if you can figure it out before you find it here!

Notes:

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
I HAVE MISSED BEING HERE SO MUCH. My mental health took a swan dive right about the time I posted the last time, and when my mental health sucks my writer's block is never stronger. Plus I wanted to make this as good as possible, or it would have been ready last week.
On a happier note, senior year is genuinely going really well, I'm just so busy! I also worked way harder than I should have to read 100 books this year, but I did it!!!

This chapter takes place: January 21, 2022

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Thank you. No one piss him off until he posts the video.

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
PSA people were switching off between calling me Mr. Barnes and Mx. Barnes all day, and I’d assume it made it into the video. To avoid a war and also to avoid attempts to cancel people, I use both and I’m okay with either.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Congratulations, Bucky and Uncle Steve - https://www.youtube.com/peterparkerandthefamvengers/steveandbuckyswedding - attachment
[video: “WHAT’S UP, FUCKERS?!” Peter yells into the camera.
“Peter, don’t call the viewers ‘fuckers’. We’re pretending to be classy here,” Steve chides from offscreen.
“Fine,” Peter groans, rolling his eyes as he grins. “What’s up shitheads?”
“Peter,” Steve’s voice holds a warning.
“You’re no fun.”
“It’s not too late to fire you, Spidey.”
“So how is the lovely groom feeling on this fine day?” Peter asks, turning the camera to Steve, who’s tying his tie in front of a mirror.
“Nice topic change. I’m less nervous than I thought I would be,” Steve admits, pausing his tying to turn and answer Peter. “It’s just a formality, really. But it’s also a day that we never thought we would get. I’m really excited. Today is just one crazy day that marks the start of every day married to the love of my life.”
“Steven Grant Rogers if you make me cry I will web you to a wall and you will be late to your own wedding.”
The look Steve gives the camera makes Peter step back.
“As I was saying,” Steve continues. “100 years is such a long time, we’re already an old couple, now we’ll just be an old married couple.”
“Alright, Captain Righteous. I’m gonna go talk to your fiance now. Or Harley. Whoever I find first.”
“No detours if you find Keener first,” Steve chides. “My wedding isn’t going to wait for you two to fondue.”
“Please never insinuate that we’re exibitionists again. Ew,” Peter’s voice says as the camera turns to the door and leaves.
The camera cuts to another suite, where Bucky sits at a vanity desk doing their eye makeup, seemingly unaware of Peter’s presence at all.
“I know you’re there, Spidey,” Bucky mumbles,
“Damn it!” Peter whines. “How’d you know?”
“No one else walks on the ceiling,” Bucky deadpans, uncapping their eyeliner.
“They’re right,” Harley says from behind the camera.
“Defend me or die.”
“They’re right!” Harley insists. “No one else walks on the ceiling, because no one else
can.”
“Please leave for the one-on-one interview with the marrier, Keener.”
“Ouch, last name. Good luck, bud,” Bucky grimaced as they put the cap back on their eyeliner.
“Okay, I’m going, I’m going,” Harley chuckles, and the sound of the door opening and closing is heard.
“So, Sarge. Married life. Wedding. Thoughts?” Peter asks.
“I’ve been waiting for this day since I was 18 years old. I love him more than anything, and I can’t wait to officially be husbands. This wedding has been a long time coming. I’ve never been more sure of a choice.”
“Dammit, Bucky. I’ve been trying not to cry,” Peter said, voice cracking as he sniffed.
“Deep breaths, Parker.”
Peter is heard behind the cameras laughing, but complying with Bucky’s suggestion. “So… looking forward to those wedding presents?”
“Mostly towards Stark’s. He’s been boasting about his wedding gift for
months.”
“Oh yeah!” Peter says. “None of us know what it is. He’s been very secretive.”
“Betcha that means it sucks,” Bucky grins at the camera and winks.
Once again, the camera cuts. This time, it’s a view of the entire room. All of the guests are seated in pews and chatting. There’s a time lapse of several minutes, and when the video speed goes back to normal time, there’s music that’s started to play and the guests have fallen silent.
The wedding party makes its way down the aisle with minimal chaos. Peter is Steve’s best man, while Natasha acts as Bucky’s maid of honor. Billy and Tommy are the ring bearers, and Harley takes Lucy and Kennedy down the aisle in a stroller, the official flower girls and their escort. Both Bucky and Steve have a line of friends behind them that makes up the wedding party, most of them Avengers, but a few outsiders, relatives of their old friends or friends they’d made elsewhere.
At the head of the party is, of course, the priest. A digital arrow appears, pointing at the priest along with edited words: “
Manifestation of Steve’s remaining Catholic guilt :)
The ceremony goes smoothly, it’s only interrupted once during the beginning when Wanda blows her nose. The camera zooms in on her and she smiles and flicks it off. Thor is seen beside her, using a tissue to wipe his eyes.
Eventually, it comes time for their vows.
“Now, Steven and James have chosen to write their own vows, and I’m supposed to warn you that neither of them are wordsmiths, so they apologize in advance,” their Priest chuckles. “Steven, you first.”
“We flipped a coin to decide,” Steve grins at the crowd, earning a laugh. “So here goes. Everyone always talks about the pre-wedding jitters, one fiance or the other getting cold feet. I’m glad neither of us did. We’ve had enough cold for a lifetime.” Steve pauses for laughter, and he and Bucky make direct eye contact and laugh together. “No, but really. At the end of the day, Bucky and I were made for each other, we’ve been married in every way but legally for centuries. But it’s also a day that I never dreamed that we would get, one that marks the start of every day married to the love of my life. And hey, we get a lower tax rate now!” that makes Bucky laugh, and Steve pauses to smile and watch as they recover. “I promise to make you laugh like that every day, Buck. I promise to be your rock every time that you feel like you might be drowning. I promise to slap you back to reality every time that you do something stupid–”
“Like jumping out of a plane without a parachute?” Bucky interrupts.
“Like jumping out of a plane without a parachute,” Steve sighs. “I promise to give you one free pass when you decide you can’t come home without adopting that cute animal from the shelter. But only one pass. I can make promise after promise to you, and I’ll make them all happen. But they all boil down to one promise. I promise to love you for the rest of our lives with the same intensity that I started loving you 90 years ago. That’s my ultimate promise to you. I love you what is probably starting to reach a co-dependent amount, James Buchanan Barnes.”
“James, when you’re ready.”
“I should have gone first,” Bucky sniffs, wiping his eyes carefully. They pull their paper from their pocket. “Steve. Baby. My best guy. I promise to always let you be the best at everything, even if it is by just a fraction. For the sake of your ego, of course. Not because you’re naturally better than me or anything. I promise to never forget the tongue lashing you gave me the first and only time I swore in or near a church. I promise to never forget how much I wanted to kiss you when you rescued me from Schmidt’s clutches the first time. I promise to keep you warm in the winter, because we’ve had enough cold temperatures to last a lifetime. Also, to give us trauma. I promise to read you to sleep every night if that’s what you want. And I promise to never lose you again. I’ve been waiting for this day since we were old enough to legally get married in the first place. I love you more than anything, Steven Grant Rogers, and I can’t wait to officially be husbands. I’ve never been as sure of anything as I am of you. We thought we lost each other in January almost 70 years ago, and that is the only time I’ve ever been completely overjoyed to be wrong. And there’s something I can tell you now that I’ve been telling you since we were scrawny little rats, and that’s that I’ll be with you til the end of the line.”
“Please present one another your rings. These rings symbolize the strength of your commitment to this marriage and the love you share.”
The church is silent as Bucky and Steve exchange rings, and the pews buzz with quiet anticipation.
“By the power granted to me by the Catholic Church, I pronounce you, Steven and James, married. You may kiss.”
And with no further ado, Bucky and Steve kiss and the entire church erupts in cheers and applause.
Now there’s a cut to the reception hall, dinner having clearly just finished. Tony takes this time to stand up and tap his fork to his glass.
“I know that, officially, toasting is over. But who am I if not a man who likes to make a splash?” he asks. “I don’t so much have a toast to give as I do a wedding present. I pulled a few strings to find this, but I thought it was important for the happy couple to have.”
By now the video screen is split, one camera on Tony and one on Steve and Bucky.
“Back in August, Mx. Barnes and Mr. Rogers were reminiscing on the history of their relationship and how long they’d been dating. Bucky brought up that Steve had written him a letter that, in their own words, was the ‘love confession of the century’. But the letter was left in his pack at camp in 1943, and he hasn’t seen it since. I made a few calls and learned that there’s a storage space for the personal effects of soldiers who are MIA, in case someone ever shows up to claim it.”
Steve and Bucky are looking at each other and then back at Tony every few seconds.
“So I made a few
more calls, and now, here in a little clear binder in my hand, is Steve’s letter to Bucky. Dated March 13, 1934. Steve was 15 years old and Bucky had turned 17 just days prior.”
The camera that is watching Steve and Bucky shows Bucky grabbing Steve’s hand and pressing it to his mouth, eyes watery. Steve looks both excited and embarrassed.
“Would either of you two lovebirds like to read it, or shall I do the honors?” Tony asks.
“Oh please god, let me,” Bucky calls, laughing out loud. Steve is chuckling nervously, watching warily as Tony brings the precious letter over to Bucky. “I basically have this thing memorized, but seeing it is so much more wonderful.”
“Could we not?” Steve asks between nervous laughter. Bucky looks over at Steve and they hold eye contact for several beats, Steve finally giving the tiniest nod before Bucky looks away. The camera cuts to just one screen, just Bucky and Steve.
“Buck,” Bucky begins reading from the letter and Steve immediately groans and puts his head in his arms, throwing his napkin over his head. “I’m sick again, and I don’t want to wait until it’s too late to say the things I’ve been wanting to say. Because any day could be too late these days. I’d rather be embarrassed around you than you not know how I felt. Just thinking about writing these words feels exponentially more embarrassing, though, so I’m going to attempt an analogy. I think that’s what this is. Do you remember when we went to the fairgrounds in the summer of ‘32 and we went on the ferris wheel? And the climbing feeling you get as you rise into the air and you’re starting to panic, but then you’ve stopped and you can see for miles and all you feel is peace? That’s how I feel inside every time that you’re around.”
“Make it stopppp,” Steve groans.
“I guess this is me saying that I have feelings for you, I might even be in love with you for all I know. And I’m not asking you to go steady or anything, but I need you to know. You’ve been there for me in ways that no one else has, ways that other best friends wouldn’t have been. But should you not return my feelings, I hope that–” Bucky stops reading, choking up more than a little.
“But should you not return my feelings,” Steve picks up quietly. “I hope that you’ll still be with me til the end of the line, because I’m not sure what I would do without you. Yours, Steve.”
Bucky is once again working to keep their eyeliner from running, and Steve is helping, gently brushing away any tears that come close. The reception hall bursts to life with clapping and laughter.
“What are we waiting for?!” Harley yells as Peter picks up the camera. “Let’s get some music in here!”
The video cuts to a montage of different Avengers dancing (not always well).
One shot shows Tony and Bruce awkwardly dancing to the Cupid Shuffle while Thor follows along enthusiastically to the music.
Another shows Peter sweep Natasha onto the dance floor and twirl her until the two are a blur.
Yet another clip has Bucky on Sam’s shoulders and Steve on Thor’s as “Turn Down For What” blasts in the background.
Finally, there’s a clip of Bucky and Steve slowly dancing to “Put Your Head on My Shoulder”, spinning slowly as the guests watch, all smiles.
There’s another montage of well-wishers to the happy couples. Archie rolls his eyes as Sam bursts into drunken tears mid-speech and Tony salutes the camera, clearly more comfortable after a few drinks from the open bar.
The video closes on the next morning, where the Avengers are back in the Tower, most of them walking around wearing sunglasses, hoodies, and sweatpants. Clint actually hisses at the camera in his face, and Natasha looks murderously at the source of the sound.]

Chapter 38: How Is It Possible for One to Have a ‘Pocket Full of Sunshine’?

Summary:

Bucky and Steve are on their honeymoon, so the Avengers take advantage of the time and follow a Bob Ross tutorial so that Steve can't outdo them. Peter gets caught one too many times 'channeling his inner Emma Stone' and is exposed. Speaking of Steve and Bucky, they read an infamous booktok book and Suffer.

Notes:

Actually, I'm shocked it's been less than a month since I posted. I'm vaguely impressed with myself. HAPPY 2022 EVERYONE. I hope everyone's year is full of good things. Tell me about your holidays/first month of 2022 in the comments!

This chapter takes place in: first few days of February, 2022

Wow. Without us? That’s low, Parker.

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
You would outdo us, we wanted to feel good about ourselves and our talents (or lack thereof)

Fine. I’m doing a lot of painting here anyway

Ophelia @spaghettibish
Where are you?

Turtle of Justice @steverogers
Buck and I are on our honeymoon. 3 weeks travelling Europe

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
I mean technically we’ve been. But going when you’re not at war or under mind control to be a killing machine, Europe is much more fun.

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
Will you stop being depressing? Go paint and enjoy Europe, we need you back here refreshed and ready to work again.

FRIDAY DO NOT POST THAT VIDEO

FRIDAY @fridaytheai
Loki has given her orders and Boss and Potato Boy have backed her up - attachment
[video: the video cuts in, mid-song of “Pocketful of Sunshine” by Natasha Bedingfield, and Peter is singing and dancing, stirring a pot of milk, presumably for hot chocolate purposes.
“TAKE ME AWAY, A SECRET PLACE, A SWEET ESCAPE, TAKE ME AWAY” Peter belts, bringing the spoon up to use as a makeshift microphone. “TAKE ME AWAY, TO BETTER DAYS, TAKE ME AWAY, A HIDING PLACE.”
As he belts the last few lyrics, Peter pours the milk into a mug and stirs hot chocolate mixture in. He dances to the fridge as the song continues.
“I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine, I got a love and I know that it’s all mine oh, woah, oh–”
“Channeling your inner Emma Stone again?” Bruce yawns as he shuffles into the kitchen. Peter jumps so high that he sticks to the ceiling.
“Maybe…” he says, sheepishly dropping back down to the floor. “We’re just going to pretend this isn’t the third time you’ve caught me doing this in two weeks right?”
“If I catch you a fourth before Valentine’s Day, I’m showing Tones and I have no remorse.”
“Understood,” Peter says, shuffling out of the kitchen with his hot chocolate.]

Pops for sure @drbrucebanner
I caught him again for the 4th time last night. I didn’t remember until the song came on while we were painting and of course there are no secrets so…

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Can’t a gay channel his inner Emma Stone in fucking peace–

Best Dad in the Universe @tonystark
no.

chad (endearing) @thor
How is it possible to have a ‘pocket full of sunshine’ as the song says?

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
I always felt like it meant to have happiness even in shitty times, but I KNOW the song is about finding love and triumph in the little things

What the fuck, Shuri? @princessshuri
At least SOMEONE on your godforsaken team will read books that I’ve read. It was getting ridiculous. I literally left 19 copies of “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” laying around the tower

Chapter 39: What Happened In Budapest...

Summary:

Peter plays a practical joke on Nebula, Wanda undermines Peter, and everyone asks the age-old question: what the hell happened in Budapest? And why won't anyone talk about it?

Notes:

Less than a month AGAIN-- i'm doing better than I thought. It's a little shorter than I wanted, honestly, but I still love it. And this chapter was a TON of fun to write. Fun fact, every chapter starts with the funny scenes. I wrote the entire Nebula moment in like... 30 minutes. Happy almost-valentines day! I hope everyone has a good one, whether you celebrate it by yourself, with a partner, or not at all!

This chapter takes place in: late February, 2022

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

We were absolutely shit-faced and having a rough time with our collective decisions on the mission. It was a long 10 days. I guess we decided we liked each other enough sober that we could get married drunk?

Keep in mind at the time this happened, I was engaged to someone ELSE, and had a baby on the way.

[image: SNL Photoshoot– The entirety of the Avengers and Co (including Wanda, Vision, and Shuri) crowd around Peter, who is halfway crouched down, arms spread wide and laughing. Harley is leaning over his back, resting his chin on Peter’s shoulder, Clint is on Peter’s left with his hands wrapped around Peter’s forearm, head thrown back in a laugh, Nat’s arm around his neck as she smiles at the camera. Rhodey and Tony are on Peter’s right, Rhodey ducked down to let Tony see over his head. Everyone near the back has a faint red glow around them, including Wanda, whose hand is up by her face, held as though she’s lifting everyone up to make sure they’re seen (she is).]

I convinced them to do a family photo :)

[video: The Avengers and co are standing around, getting touches done on their makeup and adjusting their clothes. Peter is in the middle of it all, marking up a script while a stylist touches up his hair.
“Hey, sorry I’m late,” Rhodey’s voice comes into the room before he does, and Peter looks up excitedly.
“Holy shit, I thought you were in France?”
“Yeah, I
was. Did you really think I was going to miss this?”
“I mean–” Peter cuts himself off by running to tackle Rhodey in a hug.
“If you mess up your hair, your poor stylist is going to faint,” Rhodey points out good naturedly, and the camera turns to the stylist, who does indeed look a little pale.
“Sorry, Nadine! One minute!” Peter says over his shoulder, and goes back to hugging Rhodey, who just rolls his eyes fondly.]

-----------------

SNL MONOLOGUE: Peter Parker

“Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Parker!!!” booms the voice that accompanies all celebrities onto the SNL stage, and Peter runs out of the door, does a flip down the stairs, and walks up to his mark. Peter waits a moment for the high-pitched cheers and loud clapping to die down, looking around in amazement at his surroundings before speaking.

“Oh my god, thank you! Thank you so much. It’s a dream to be here hosting Saturday Night Live! I’m Peter Parker, and” he pauses for the applause that overwhelms his voice, “and most of you probably know me because, well, I am Spider-Man.” The screams and clapping grow louder still.

“Okay, so I stole that line from my dad, but in my defense he said I could! Anyway, I’m your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, but you may also know me as an heir to Stark Industries, or if you’re on Twitter, you’ve seen what my family and I get up to over there. We dance to Disney music, have baking competitions, go out and save the world, and prank each other.” Peter pauses to huff out a laugh. “One of those things is not like the others. Can you figure it out?” This time, he pauses for the audience’s laughter.

“The Avengers and I are a family, and no one can tell us otherwise. How did we bond, you may be wondering? It’s a natural question, because we’re from all walks of life, two of us are from another era entirely, and we’ve all experienced very different things. So the answer is easy: trauma. But it’s not what you think! We didn’t sit down and talk about everything we’ve all gone through right away. Instead, we watched ‘Watership Down’, which is a traumatizing movie, and after that there was no conversation too difficult because we’d seen it all.” Peter chuckles at the uproar of laughter that follows.

“All the bonding we’ve done over the years has led to a lot of really special friendships, and I don’t mean “special friendships”, guys. Get your minds out of the gutter. I mean real platonic connections that have seen all of us through a lot. I mean hell, I got a dad out of this group of misfits and heroes. Actually, I got two!” Once again, the audience’s cheers and laughter overwhelm Peter’s voice, so he takes a pause.

“I’m also heir to Stark Industries, which is really cool! But let me tell you, I understand why Pepper has to physically drag my dad to all of the important meetings. They’re SO boring, it’s a bunch of old guys sitting around talking. I pay a lot of attention, because really there’s not much else to do. They make me leave my phone outside of the room. To be honest, I don’t fully understand the point of a lot of the meetings? They just talk for hours about boring stuff, and it’s the worst. Unless I get to watch Pepper or Harley yell at someone and then they do the walk of shame out of the room. That makes my week.”

“A lot of people have started asking about my relationship since it came out that my boyfriend and I were SI’s heirs. Everyone wants to know everything. What if we break up? What if he cheats? What if I cheat? There are a lot of questions about the downfall of my relationship. Do they know something I don’t? Because I don’t know if you know; but I’m Spider-Man. Also I have anxiety. So that really takes care of both of us cheating. He can’t do better, and I’m scared to try.”

“I’m kidding. I love Harley more than anything, he’s my partner in crime. Except for last week when he dumped glitter all over Loki’s bed and blamed it on me. That was a long day. Loki likes to get us back by redoing our pranks on them tenfold. Glitter covered our bedroom floor. I’m still shaking glitter out of my shoes!” For emphasis, Peter takes off his right shoe, turns it upside down, and shakes it. Lo and behold, glitter comes tumbling out, and Peter joins the audience in his laughter. “We’ve got a great show tonight!” The audience immediately picks up whistling and cheering. “Imagine Dragons are here! Stick around, we’ll be right back!”

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
That might be my favorite thing I’ve ever done in my life that’s not related to hero work

THE bi disaster @beterbarker
Gotta go get ready for the first sketch now!!! See you soon!

-----------------

Sketch 1: “But I’m Spider-Man!”

The sketch opens on a slow zoom on a Broadway theater. The poster on the door says “Now holding auditions for ‘Rogers: the Musical!’” The scene changes to the inside of the theater, where the casting director sits and addresses the people auditioning.

“Alright people!” the director, played by Mikey Day says, clapping his hands. “We saw some great auditions these past few days, and I’m pleased to say that we have our cast list ready! Congratulations to our newest actors!”

“Playing Peggy Carter, Edith Crenshaw!” The camera pans to Heidi Gardner, who waves as Edith. “Our James ‘Bucky’ Barnes is Reese Young, Steve Rogers is Charlie Ronan, and Dr. Erskine is Lewis Darcy.” In order, the camera pans to the actors, Aristotle Athari, Colin Jost (whose cameo is met with cheers from the audience), and James Austin Johnson.

“Of course, we also have to cast the Avengers for act two,” the director says as the camera points back towards him. “Iron Man will be Chance Pullman,” the camera pans to Alex Moffat, “Thor is Greg Quimby,” Pete Davidson, sitting next to Alex, sticks his head into frame and points at himself, mouthing ‘that’s me!’.

“The Hulk will be played by James Freidman,” Bowen Yang pops up on screen, waving, and the audience chuckles. “Vance Adler will be our War Machine, and Josephine Spring will be Black Widow.” A split-screen shows up, with Chloe Fineman in one half and Chris Redd in the other.

“And finally, Hawkeye will be played by Peter Parker, and Spider-Man will go to Ezekiel Haven.” The split-screen now shows a dismayed Peter Parker and an elated Kyle Mooney.

“Now, moving on. The rehearsal schedule is pretty rigorous, so–”

“I’m sorry, excuse me. So sorry, excuse me,” Peter interrupts, scooting out of his seat and walking down towards where the director is standing. “Did you say I’m playing Hawkeye?”

“Parker, right? Yes, we’ve cast you as Hawkeye. Now, as I was saying, rehearsals are Monday through–”

“Do you… do you know who I am? Do any of you know who I am?” Peter asks desperately, looking around at the rest of the actors.

“Yeah. You’re Hawkeye. Sit down,” the director glares at Peter before continuing. “Rehearsal is Monday through Thursday, Friday is–”

“No. I’m Spider-Man,” Peter interrupts, gesturing at himself.

“Mr. Parker, I have told you three times that you. Are. Hawkeye. Please sit down or leave.”

“I don’t think you understand. I am actually Spider-Man. Like I am the real Spider-Man. There was a whole Times Square billboard about it like a year ago?”

“I don’t care if you think you’re the President. I’m the director, and I’ve cast you as Hawkeye.”

“But you cast that guy as Spider-Man? No offense, dude.”

“No, none taken. I thought I was a shoo in for Howlie Number Four,” Ezekiel shrugs.

“Mr. Haven, please don’t egg him on. Mr. Parker, either you may take the part of Hawkeye or you may leave,” the director sighs, taking a swig of the bottle of tequila he grabbed out of nowhere.

“I just don’t think you’re understanding me–”

“No, it is you who isn’t understanding me–”

“For god’s sake,” Peter groans, and clicks his watch a few times, the Spider-Man suit expanding to cover his whole body except for his head. “I’m Spider-Man. Are we on the same page now?” He does a backflip down the rest of the steps, landing on his feet in front of the director.

The director looks unimpressed, but Greg Quimby (Pete Davidson) stands up, bursting into applause.

“Great flip, man! I wish Thor got to do stunts like that!”

“Thanks… thanks, Greg,” Peter says awkwardly, waving for him to sit back down.

“Oh, I get it now!” Josephine Spring (Chloe Fineman) exclaims. “You’re, like, actually Spider-Man, you’re not just being annoying!”

“Sir, with all due respect, even Josephine gets it,” Peter deadpans. “I could walk on the walls if you want, would that prove it?”

“Probably not, but go ahead, give it a try,” the director says. Peter walks over to the closest wall, and walks straight up and onto the ceiling.

“Do you get it now?” he calls down. The director just takes another swig of tequila, makes a face, and goes back to his paper.

“As I was saying, Friday is your day, but be ready for an early call on Saturday, 7 A.M. I don’t want to see any of you– Mr. Parker, what the hell are you doing?”

“I. AM. SPIDER-MAN!” Peter calls down hysterically, and the audience whistles and claps as the sketch ends.

-----------------

Sketch 2: Alternate Endings

The sketch opens on a quaint yellow house with a front porch and thriving plants in the yard (A/N: widely recognized as Peggy’s house from Endgame). The scene cuts to Peggy Carter, played by Kate McKinnon, and Steve Rogers, played by Peter Parker. Steve stands in the doorway of Peggy’s house, smiling at Peggy.

“I still owe you that, dance, Peggy,” Steve grins.

“Yes you do, soldier,” Peggy laughs, motioning him to come closer. She snakes her arms around his neck as music starts to play, and they sway together, turning slowly. “I can’t believe you came back… I heard your plane crash, everyone thought you were gone.”

Steve pauses, clearly thinking over his choice of words. “Yeah, I’m not really sure how I got here.”

“What?!” Peggy shrieked. Steve shrugged.

“One minute we were saying goodbye, and the next I was. It’s wholly inconsistent.”

“It’s wholly incon– you know what? It doesn’t matter. You’re home.”

“I’m home,” Steve agrees with a smile, leaning in for a kiss.

“What am I witnessing right now, Rogers?” A new voice floats into the frame, and the audience goes wild as Bucky Barnes themself appears on the set.

“Bucky–” Steve says, sounding strangled.

“Okay, what is happening right now?” Peggy pushes herself away from Steve and looks to and from the two soldiers.

“I have no idea! I just… showed up here and assumed there would be a happily ever after and fade to black.”

“SO YOU WEREN’T ACTUALLY GOING TO KISS ME?!?!” Peggy asks incredulously. Bucky clears their throat.

“So… I’m just gonna go… this is looking like the end of the line to me. Good luck with that, Stevie,” they say, turning and walking quickly away.

“Didn’t he fall off a train and die in January?” Peggy sputters, looking from where Bucky was standing to where Steve stands.

“Hey, you know I’m just as confused as you are! If he was still alive I wouldn’t have taken a nosedive into…”

“No, please finish, Rogers.”

“No, I think I’m good. Thanks.”

“I can’t keep doing this. Not sober. Want a beer?”

“I’ve never had a– sure. That sounds really good right now.”

The scene ends with the two of them walking into the kitchen, and the audience claps.

(A/N: if you imagine this scene with Kate McKinnon’s over dramatic acting, it’s like 100x funnier)

Sketch 3: Just a ‘Regular College Student’

Lots of college students sit sprawled around a college common area, and the camera zooms on 4 of them.

“Okay, I call this Rubin Hall Residents meeting to order!” calls a short girl with black hair, wearing a nametag that identifies her as “Emily” (Melissa Villaseñor).

“Remind me again why we’re doing this?” asks “Victor” (Mikey Day).

“Because, Victor, we want to make sure everyone’s needs are met around here. No grievances that are left unsaid,” sighs “Beth” (Cecily Strong).

“Oh you two were definitely in student government in high school…” Victor sighs. “Okay, who’s first?”

“Um, I’m having some issues with my roommate?” a girl wearing a nametag with “Nora” (Ego Nwodim) written on it.

“And who’s your roommate?” Emily asks.

“Peter Parker,” Nora says. “Yeah, either he’s crazy or he’s actually Spider-Man, and I’m kind of annoyed one way or another.”

“I’m sorry… he’s either crazy or he’s Spider-Man?” Victor asks, leaning forward with his eyebrows drawn together in confusion.

“Who’s Peter Parker?” Beth asks.

“I think we met him at orientation, but I haven’t seen him since. I kind of thought he was a fever dream. Super nice guy, though.” someone else piped up.

“He exclusively enters the room from the window, even in the middle of the night. I’m not sure he’s ever used the door. And he always gets in at like 4 A.M.”

“That’s… odd.”

“No kidding. And in the mornings when his alarm goes off, it’s usually accompanied by mutterings wondering if it’s worth it to stay in school.”

“We all do that, that’s pretty normal,” Victor says.

“No, but he always says ‘I don’t really need this, right? I’m Spider-Man. I have a career.’ or something like that. And don’t get me started on his late-night phone calls. I have no idea if they’re real or not, because it’s always to Pepper or Mr. Stark. I know because he refers to them when he’s on the phone.”

“Okay, you might have a point about the ‘crazy-or-Spider-Man’ thing,” Beth relents.

“Are you guys talking about Peter Parker? He’s that short kid with the curly hair and massive eyes, right?” someone pipes up from the back. “Yeah, he showed up in my ancient history class with eyebags I could see from the other side of the hall, 4 cups of coffee, an open redbull, and nothing else. He asked if it was advanced chem, and when someone piped up that it was ancient history, he was like ‘close enough’ and sat down in the first seat he found. And he drank all of the coffee.”

“He’s actually in my advanced chem class, and he’s never there. When he is, he sleeps through most of it. But somehow he has never gotten a bad grade on any of the exams,” a girl in the back pipes up, sounding exasperated.

“He talks to someone named Karen all the time, too,” Nora adds. “Just like… into the air, no one is there. ‘Karen, what time is my engineering lecture?’ ‘Karen, how long has it been since I slept?’ ‘Karen, how long can I survive on microwave ramen and Little Ceasar’s pizza before I die?’. I don’t think he’s ever gotten a response. Because no one’s there.”

“I saw… I saw Tony Stark go into your room last week, Naomi…” says a guy in the crowd, standing up so we can see his name tag that reads “Jeremy” (Pete Davidson).

“My name is Nora.”

“Jeremy, sit down,” Emily says, rolling her eyes.

“Hey, just because I’m the resident stoner doesn’t mean I don’t know things!” Jeremy insists.

“Sure, Jan,” a new voice says, and several heads turn around to see Peter Parker himself closing the window. “What did I miss?”

“Not much, just talking about roommates!” Beth supplied. Peter nodded, grabbing a cookie from a table nearby and leaning against the wall.

“Isn’t this room on the third floor?” Emily asks in a hushed voice.

“Yeah. Maybe he’s crazy and Spider-Man.” Victor shrugs. Everyone nods in agreement, and the scene fades out.

“SURPRISE!”
“YOU DID IT, DARLING!”
“SO PROUD OF YOU!”
“CONGRATULATIONS!”
All of the Avengers and co are yelling at once, and Peter launches himself at them, letting himself get passed around in hugs, including Clint, whose camera got buried in Peter’s chest for a minute.
“Sure, Jan. Parker, I cannot believe you,” Shuri snorts. “You stole my line, you ass!”
“Fuck you, I say it all the time!” Peter protests, hugging her nonetheless.]

Notes:

AAAAHHHH I've had this chapter in my head for months and I am SO happy it's written and out there for you guys to enjoy!
If you enjoyed this chapter, please drop a comment! Let me know what your favorite sketch was!
You guys' comments mean everything to me, and I love reading them!

Also, I have Twitter! My Marvel stan/writing account is @localmarvelfan and my DMs are ALWAYS open <3

Chapter 43: The Slow Descent into Chaos

Summary:

Vision finally gets a new Twitter name, which is already going to be interesting because Peter chooses it. Tony makes a fashion choice that he should NOT make, and Steve tells Clint to shut up, but that's not new.

Notes:

HI!!! I'm back for now! I was unmotivated for a while, and then motivated but too busy, and then I had some really great life stuff going on that left all of my time accounted for.
Someone DM'd me on Twitter during my time away, telling me that I've been misspelling Natasha's last name wrong! Rest assured, I KNOW. But I didn't notice it for myself until nearly chapter 15, and I am very dedicated and I love you all, but not enough to change every spelling of her username, not then and DEFINITELY not nearly 45 chapters in.
Anyway, enjoy!

This chapter takes place: mid-May, 2022

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

[video: “SPIDEY! SPIDEY! SPIDEY!” the Avengers and co. are chanting as Peter stares down at Mjolnir.
“Remember, Petey, lift that hammer and you are the rightful ruler of Asgard!” Tony scoffs.
“Don’t be bitter because you couldn’t lift it, Stark,” Yelena yawns.
“How did you know that?!”
“Nat,” Yelena says, and at the same time, Nat says,
“Me.”
Meanwhile in the foreground, Peter is bracing himself with one foot on the table and one on the floor. Both hands are wrapped around the hammer.
He goes to lift it…
And the hammer soars off the table at the first tug, hitting Peter directly in the nose, knocking him over.
The common room is silent before everyone dissolves into laughter as Peter hauls himself up, his face beet red.]

[video: Footage from FRIDAY. Tony is sighing at Peter in the lab, propped up on his elbows on one of the work spaces. Peter sits on a table, legs swinging back and forth.
“We got another civilian complaint about you running around on the rooftops, kid. You couldn’t just… leave the suit on for a little longer? Or put it on for a bit so people stop getting freaked out and sending complaints to the Avengers about random kids running around on rooftops or trespassing?”
“Oh, sure, when SPIDEY leaps from rooftop to rooftop, performing death-defying extreme parkour stunts as he swings through the city, he's ‘a hero’ and ‘protecting the city’, but when I do it I'm ‘illegally trespassing on private property’ and ‘a menace to society’. That’s how it is, huh?”
As Peter goes on this rant, he jumps down from the tables, walks up a wall, and sits on the ceiling, arms hanging down from the ceiling limply. Suddenly, there’s a creak and a crash before Clint comes barrelling out from the ceiling right next to Peter.
The resulting scare causes Peter to fall from the ceiling onto Tony’s head, and both Tony and Clint laugh so hard that Peter stalks out of the lab.]

Chapter 44: Natasha, Please Step On Me

Summary:

Shuri finally expands her teleportation device's uses to universal chaos, Natasha meets a fan with an odd request, and Peter and Harley good nephews (and Peter's dance training shines through)

Notes:

HIIIIIIIIIIIIII this took so much longer to start than I thought it would. It literally took like 3 days to write, but it took forever to just... start.
That's probably in part due to all the other writing projects I've got going on right now.

Also so much thanks to @W34SL3YIS0URKING for her part in this chapter. I <3 that part so much, it made me chuckle for sure.

C - the mambo

For those of you who said swing dancing, you’re right! We also called it the Lindy Hop. Not that the other dances weren’t popular, but they weren’t as popular as swing dancing

Cap’s Bitch (they/he) @buckybarnes
This is Stevie’s roundabout way of saying we’ve been trying to dance again. We’ve long lost all our old coordinations and we’re really out of practice. The last time we tried any shit like this before this year, Steve was 5’5 and 100 pounds dripping wet.

Chapter 45: WE READ OUR OWN FANFICTION?! – *shocking results*

Summary:

Steve falls down a internet rabbit-hole one night and discovers Avengers fanfic. On a genuinely unrelated note, a week later, Peter decides to do a YouTube video about just that. Enjoy the public embarrassment of the Avengers discovering the fanfiction about them!

Notes:

I owe so much to @x_ry29, who helped me brainstorm for a solid hour (at least) when I told him about this chapter. Literally one of the best people I know, and I'm so grateful to know him!!!
This chapter made me laugh out loud writing, it's just as chaotic as YouTube videos usually are, so I truly hope you all enjoy!

Disclaimers for this chapter: None of the fanfics I wrote about in this chapter are purposely based on any existing fanfictions. Also, if you don't like smut/discussion of smut (nothing excessive or graphic) this chapter may not be for you

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

[link: YouTube video - WE READ OUR OWN FANFICTION?! – *shocking results*]

---------------------
↓↓↓Youtube Video↓↓↓

Avengers and Co. in attendance: Peter, Harley, Tony, Bruce, Steve, Bucky, Clint, Nat, Thor, Loki, Shuri, MJ, and Pepper..

The camera is set up in the main living room on the Avengers’ floor. It’s angled to face the massive sectional that fits most of the Avengers comfortably. Some sit on the couch itself, some sit on the back, and a few sit on the floor. Peter sits in the middle of the frame, between everyone. Harley is on one side of him, Clint is on the other.

“Helloooo, YouTube!” Peter greets the camera. “So I have gathered most of your favorite heroes today for this lovely video, including flying Wanda out for the day. As you can see, Michelle Jones, you may not call her MJ, is here too. She’s Shuri’s girlfriend, and currently interning under Pepper with Harley. Anyway, onto the video! I’m really excited about it. However, I may or may not have gathered them here under false pretenses…”

“What false pretenses might those be?” Pepper asks, leaning around Thor’s solid frame to glare at Peter, who has the decency to look sheepish.

“Harley and I–”

“Try again,” Harley says quickly. “I was not the brains behind this idea.”

“Okay, fine. I thought it would be funny to find some of the fanfiction people write about us.”

“No, no no, I can’t do that, nope, how about I just–” Steve goes to get up, but is stopped by Natasha and Bucky grabbing his arms and pulling him back down.

“Peter Benjamin Parker I swear to god–” Pepper cuts herself off with a sigh so heavy that she sinks into the couch a little.

“What is that?” Loki asks.

“Oh dear god,” Tony mumbles.

“Fanfiction is basically stories. But they’re written about fictional characters or popular public figures, and they’re all written by fans of those characters or people,” Peter explains. “Sometimes it can get… weird. And definitely explicit.”

“Oh this is going to be amazing,” Bucky’s voice is full of glee, and he’s almost laughing.

“I have picked an assortment of my favorite ones – that Harls here helped me find –”

“Thanks, darlin’,” Harley mutters.

“ – you’re welcome, baby. Anyway, I have some of my favorites, and I’m going to send them one at a time to you all, we’re going to read them aloud, and react.”

“This is going to go terribly,” Shuri says, clapping her hands. MJ just shakes her head.

“I hate this already,” Clint says.

“Okay, this first one is pretty normal, it’s Clint and Natasha. For my sake, I’m glad it’s not explicit.”

“Thank fuck,” Clint sighs, and Natasha snorts.

“Alright, everyone should be getting the link… now,” Peter says, laughing nervously.

*sped up footage of Avengers and Co. reading out loud*

“Well, that was… interesting,” Bruce offers.

“Well put,” Pepper nods, glancing towards Natasha and Clint, who look distinctly weirded out.

“So that was… how that particular person imagined us starting a relationship?” Clint asks slowly.

“Pretty much,” Harley shrugs.

“I’m not sure how I felt about that one.”

“None of us are,” Steve promises.

“Okay! Next… well, I’ll send the link,” Peter sighs.

“OH MY GOD WHY?!” Tony screeches.

“I am wounded. Truly,” Loki deadpans.

“Loki and Tony spice things up? Oh fuck,” Shuri howls with laughter.

“Yikes,” MJ sighs, looking between the two.

“Peterling, this is betrayal from the child I love most,” Loki sighs.

“Awww, Lokes, you love me?”

“Not anymore.”

“Okay, can we just get this over with?” Tony shudders.

*sped up footage of Avengers and Co. reading out Tony x Loki fic*

“I found that… disturbing,” Thor admits.

“Thank you for dating Bruce instead,” Pepper sighs. “Can you imagine the PR Team if you decided to date Loki?”

“Well now I want to, out of spite.”

“I’m going to have to immediately decline, Stark. But thank you, I think,” Loki says.

“Did you know people ship Peter with Deadpool?” Tony asks, and then looks around like he hadn’t meant to say that out loud.

“HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!?!” Clint screams. “WHY DO YOU KNOW THAT?!”

Bruce snickers and Tony turns red. Peter is just looking at his dad and sputtering.

“That…” Tony says, taking a breath and pointing his finger at Clint, “is not the point.”

“The fuck it isn’t!” MJ says suddenly, cackling.

“He gets a kick out of it,” Bruce chuckles.

“SHUT UP SHUT UP,” Tony half-groans, half-shrieks.

“Peter, why… why?” Bucky asks.

“Chaos,” Peter shrugs. “And speaking of Chaos, there’s a Steve and Bucky fic coming next!”

“Let’s not and say that we did,” Steve suggests.

“Oh no this should be good, Capsicle and Snowflake.”

“Oh, it’s going to be terrible. But it’s going to be entertaining,” MJ interjects.

“Just send the link and get this over with,” Bucky sighs. Peter grins sheepishly as everyone checks their phones.

“Oh god, I read this–” Steve cuts himself off abruptly and looks around frantically. “I mean–”

“Oh no no no,” Shuri cackles. “Is that why I got Twitter notifications about you and then when I woke up they were gone? You would tweet about your fanfiction habits.”

“OH MY GOD I THOUGHT THOSE SCREENSHOTS WERE EDITED–” Harley howls.

“I have just decided today is a marvelous day to go skydiving from the roof,” Steve announces, standing up.

“I’ll go with you!” Clint says, only to be stopped by Peter’s arm across his chest.

“Try again,” Bucky says, grabbing Steve’s arm. “If I have to sit through this, so do you.”

“Just read and get it over with,” Bruce rolls his eyes.

*sped up footage of Avengers and Co. reading the Steve/Bucky fic*

“I’m sorry, did anyone else hear Bucky whispering that that was accurate?” Loki asks, side-eyeing the super-soldier couple.

“I hadn’t,” Pepper sighs. “But thank you for scarring all of us.”

“It is always an honor, milady,” Loki mock-bows from his seat.

“Anyway…” Peter interrupts. “That was terrible for everyone, you’re welcome.”

“You will pay for this,” Steve promises.

“I figured I would. It was worth it though.”

“Just don’t mess with him while we’re in bed?” Harley requests. “I’ve done nothing to aid or abet.”

“We’ll take it into consideration,” Steve agrees.

“Pleasure doing business as always,” Harley nods in their direction.

“That felt ominous,” Peter says, looking at his boyfriend and Bucky and Steve.

“We do this a lot. You pull a lot of shit and I don’t want to be a part of what kind of revenge they dish out.”

“Ouch, I have never been–”

“So what’s the next story, Peter?” Bruce asks, clearly desperate for a new subject before an all-out argument breaks out.

“Oh shit,” Harley laughs, looking over Peter’s shoulder. “Bruce, you're going to regret asking that.”

“The next fic is about… Bruce and Thor,” Peter announces.

“They ship Bruce with everyone,” Tony says immediately. “Thor, me, Natasha, Darcy Lewis, even threesomes with me and Pepper, which is really fucking weird. And–”

“Shut up,” Bruce interrupts, covering Tony’s mouth. Tony nods.

“I don’t understand,” Thor says suddenly. “Bruce and Tony are fantastically in love. Why do people believe that Bruce and I are together?”

“No, they don’t–” Bruce sighs, clearly reaching his limit.

“They don’t actually think you two are together,” Natasha jumps in. “From what I understand, they just like the idea of the two of you dating, so they write about it.”

“I still don’t understand why they would write about us when Tony and Bruce are already there for them to write about.”

“It’s one of the mysteries of the world of fanfiction,” Tony sighs.

“I… cannot describe how much I have hated every second of this,” Clint groans.

“Well get ready to hate it some more, because here’s the link,” Peter says, almost cheerfully.

“Peter,” is all Pepper has to say before Peter dissolves into laughter. “Why is there a link on my phone tagged with the ‘alpha/beta/omega dynamics’ tag?”

“It was the least realistic one I could find. It makes it less weird.”

“I hate this so much,” Bruce groans.

“Just read and get it over with,” Harley shakes his head.

*sped up footage of Avengers and Co. reading the ABO Thor/Bruce fic*

“Get… get out of my tower,” Tony says after 30 seconds of silence.

“I am… very uncomfortable with everything that just happened,” Loki admits.

“As am I,” Thor says, eyeing Bruce warily.

“Don’t fucking look at me, I don’t want to talk about it,” Bruce glares at Thor.

“I’m killing Peter. Ojections?” Clint asks.

“I mean…” Harley shrugs. “I’d appreciate it if you didn’t.”

“You’ll find a new future husband,” Clint waves him off.

“Let’s finish the video first. There’s one fic left. This one may actually get me murdered, but I’m entertained by the thought,” Peter says.

“Oh boy,” Bucky sighs. MJ leans forward to stare at Peter.

“If this is more fanfic about me and you, you will be murdered.”

“No, no, I learned my lesson.”

“Good.”

“No, this is Pops and Nat.”

“WHAT?!” Clint shrieks.

“Uhhh…” Bruce coughs.

“I can’t fucking do this shit,” Natasha’s voice is muffled through her hands.

Steve and Tony glance at each other before dissolving into uncontrollable laughter.

“What?” Peter asks frantically. “What am I missing?”

Bruce mumbles something, and Peter screams.

“You WHAT?!” Harley cries out, falling off the couch as he howls with laughter.

“Yes, yes, let’s not–” Natasha starts.

“Oh, are you discussing how Natasha and Bruce almost had romantic relations during the crisis of Ultron?” Thor booms. Bruce goes positively crimson and Loki shakes his head.

“Why exactly is this the first time I’m hearing of this?”

“Because it didn’t even happen?” Bruce asks.

“Because it was in that general time frame that I realized I was irreversibly a lesbian and your pops over there blurted out that he was probably a little in love with Tony right before we kissed for the first time,” Natasha answers.

“I… I was just going to say that I realized I loved you as a friend before anything could happen but sure, that,” Bruce says, sighing for the millionth time.

“Just send the goddamn link,” Harley hisses to Peter, who obliges.

*sped up footage of Avengers and Co. reading the Bruce x Nat fic*

“That wasn’t terrible, right?!” Peter insists, seeing the silent, glaring faces around him.

“Just end the video,” MJ advises from her side of the couch where she and Shuri have been silently crying tears of laughter.

“Okay, then, wish me luck everyone!” Peter says, looking around warily.

“Good luck,” Clint deadpans, and the camera cuts to black.
