John Watson’s Life: A Summary

the re-reads: a fic rec

There are certain fics that I find myself always going back and re-reading, no matter how long it’s been since they were written/posted. Lately, I’ve been doing some re-reads. 

I guess my comfort fics. My absolute faves, no matter when they were written. :) As always, no specific order.

Bucky x reader:

Call Me Baby by @angelwidow​​​ Biker!Bucky x reader

“Returning to Brooklyn for the summer after a year of travelling from city to city, you hadn’t expected to find your best friend, Peggy Carter, hopelessly in love with a biker, and when she decided to introduce you to the rest of his club, you hadn’t expected to fall for one either — that was until you met one with pretty eyes and a habit of calling you baby.”

Sugar by @softlybarnes​​ 40s Bucky x reader

“By a miracle of fate, Bucky Barnes does not fall off of the train. He does not spend decades as a brainwashed assassin. Instead, he goes home to Brooklyn to spend his life with a girl he adores, a snarky nurse that he met during the war.”

Safe Place to Land by @sunlightdances​​​ Modern!Bucky x reader

“You and Bucky are both standing up for Steve and Peggy’s wedding. Checking in at the hotel for the weekend, you’re horrified to realize there’s been a problem. A big problem.“

Bud Light Bottle by @subtlebucky​​​ Modern!Bucky x reader “you’re over guys and relationships, even if the stranger hitting on you at the bar is stupidly attractive and actually makes you laugh. luckily, he has a solution.”

Sleepy by @sunflowers-and-bucky​​ Bucky x reader

“Reader wakes up without Bucky at her side and goes on a quest to get him back to bed.”

Spilled Wine by @sunmoonandbucky​​​ King!Bucky x servant!reader

“You’re nothing more than a servant who happens to warm the bed of the king.  At least, that’s what you thought you were.“

Howlin’ For You by @invisibleanonymousmonsters​​ Biker!Bucky x reader

“When Y/N gets an unreal deal on her first home, she wonders why her neighbor scared away all the other buyers. Despite being cautious, she wonders why the town has given Bucky Barnes a bad name.“

No idea where porn got the idea that men snorting and grunting like dying wild boars in quicksand during sex is hot, give me a guy who whimpers. Let a guy quiver and moan helplessly in my arms and watch me become consumed with lust for him. Last time I was I was in bed with a man and I got it just right, he made this high-pitched sort of sobbing moan and had the nerve to apologize for it like he was embarrassed and there I was so turned on I couldn’t even tell him how much. The idea that male posturing must be maintained even while drowning in pleasure is so fucking stupid, I want to hear all those little sounds that are both super hot and telling me I’m doing something right for someone I really want to make feel good.

I have some amazing pebbles in my life.

not to be “that person who stares at gifs and makes a weird whining noise in the back of their throat all day” but

I’m kinda suffering

A LOT

So here’s some gifs to drag you all down with me

You know if you feel like watching Dean quietly implode via his hand on a loop all day

For the anon who asked me for a couple reasons why Cas would be good for Dean, here’s a few off the top of my head: 

1. To Cas, Dean is a role model.  A good person, and Dean needs to be with someone who appreciates this. And reminds him of it. 

2. Cas is forgiving, and Dean needs someone who will be gentle with him when he screws up. 

3. He’s willing to go along with the silly things Dean wants to do

4. Cas is someone Dean can hunt with (he needs that, with everything good that Lisa was, that’s what was missing–the hunting partner aspect)

5. Cas allows Dean to take care of him. To Dean, taking care of people (acts of service) is a way he shows love. 

6. Dean is willing to share, emotionally, with Cas, like he is with few other people. 

7. Cas is willing to walk into death with Dean so Dean won’t have to be alone

8: He’s equally willing to stay behind so that Dean will have the comfort of knowing Sam won’t be alone

9. Dean trusts Cas to do the hard things

10. And most importantly, Cas makes Dean happy

Words cannot describe how I feel about this (and how true this is) 😍😩😍

Bucky really went from a cranky scowling old man who never smiles to that Cool (gay) uncle who pulls up 2 hours late to the family cookout with sunglasses, cake and level 100 swagger

Now that's character development

this scene is purely sebastian stan

I‘m crying about this

i feel cheated with that ending and with the movie in general. They didn't show tony's grief for peter at all! they made him move on and they only put that one scene we already saw on the spot. i'm so mad with the writers for this!

Hi!

I’m going to respond only on this ask because I’m guessing you’re the same anon because the other asks say the same thing. 

First of all, I want to say this: I feel you. I really do. I’m mad too. However, I’ve watched this movie too many times and I managed to pick up on some things about Tony’s grief throughout Endgame. While I agree they should’ve put more of Tony’s grief on Endgame, I think RDJ made a great job at showing Tony’s emotions regarding Peter. This man is so talented with his eyes and expressions, it’s incredible. 

Let’s look at Tony’s fears first. This is the man that constantly feared for Peter’s life on a daily basis since meeting him. He lived with this fear of losing him for two years of his life.

And his fears became a reality in IW. He lost. This is Tony Stark, he doesn’t give up. He tries and tries and he never rests until he gets things done. Until everything is alright. In this movie, he actually gives up. After losing Peter, he finally gave up. This is where the “Peter’s death is going to change him forever” comes to play. He changed.

Throughout IW, Tony went fear after fear, impact after impact on each scene. He was living a never-ending nightmare. One that he already had an idea on how it was going to end.

 Remember this scene? Strange told Tony that If it comes to saving him or the kid or the Time Stone, he wasn’t going to hesitate to let either of them die. And this is Tony’s reaction:

(YES, I actually made gifs for this)

He knows what’s at stake. He doesn’t really care about his life, he’s thinking about Peter here. He’s aware that Peter might die and right after this, he makes the kid an avenger because what else can he do? And the rest of the movie is just like that. Him fearing for Peter’s life over and over again. 

Until Peter actually dies at the end and his worst nightmare comes true. Keep in mind that this is the first time we see Tony Stark cry. This is the first time this man cries after all the things he’s been through.

Now, the first thing he says after he comes back is “I lost the kid”. Tony, again, didn’t care about his well-being, he was thinking about Peter. Thinking and repeating in his head the horrific nightmare over and over again. This is exactly what was on his mind the whole time he was on that ship. He desperately looks at Steve, trying to make him understand his loss. 

Notice here how he avoids looking at Peter’s picture. This right here is what triggers him to lash out on Steve, to call Steve a liar, telling him he needed him and that he doesn’t have any options for him anymore because they lost. Because he lost. Because he feels like there’s nothing left to do. 

He then marries Pepper and ta-da! Morgan. He cuts ties with the Avengers for 5 years and tries to live his life as peaceful as he can. Then Scott and the others come to his house and ask him for help with time travel stuff and Tony is in perpetual denial the whole time. This is his reaction when Natasha says there’s a possibility to bring everyone back.

What is interesting for me in this scene is that Tony is the one that told Steve that he lost Peter and in this part, he’s telling him that he’s got his second chance right here (Morgan), who do you think it was his first chance? Peter. He’s looking at Steve like he’s trying to make him understand. He told Steve he lost someone with as much importance as Morgan already and is very clear that he’s scared. Natasha said it herself. 

Then this happens: 

He starts getting hope. Since this part, he starts letting that same fear he felt those two years between hoco and iw come back. This is his reaction at the prospect of actually getting an opportunity once again. 

Then he tells Pepper about it and she tells him they were really lucky and that not many people got that opportunity and he says this: “I can’t help everyone” which can easily translate to this = “I couldn’t help him, I failed him”. 

He then tells Pepper that he can stop it right there and I just want to say, this is Pepper, the same woman who tried to make him give up the suits and the superhero life a bunch of times. This is coming from her: “But would you be able to rest?” I bet he hasn’t really slept much in those 5 years. And the answer is on his face:

No, he won’t be able to rest. He can’t.

And then throughout the whole process of time travel, you can see he’s starting to get his hopes up. This is him when Clint confirmed that time travel worked: 

And this: This breaks my heart. This hopeful smile.

This is him when he managed to get the stones on his gauntlet. The relief on his face is heartbreaking. He is getting his boy back. Finally. They’re so close.

This part is very important and you might not see it well in here but maybe when the HD version is available you might be able to catch on his expression. When Thanos says he’s going to create a new world, one teeming with life that knows not what it has lost but only what it has been given. A grateful universe. The contempt, the rage, the grief, and the fear are back at full force. This is the alien that killed his kid, the last time Tony saw him Thanos wiped out his kid out of existence. 

Then after EVERYTHING, he finally gets his kid back and he can’t even believe it. And no, it was not necessary to kill him but this is the face of a man that knows he can finally rest. He got Peter back and that was the most important thing to him.

Sorry, this was long but this is my interpretation of Tony’s grief. We didn’t get much but he loves Peter and that never is going to change. 

I am crying. I’m definitely crying.

So I saw No Way Home again, and there’s this scene where Peter and Stephen first meet in the Sanctum that doesn’t get talked about enough.

Peter: I’m really sorry if I wasted your time.

Stephen: You didn’t…

Just the way Stephen says that line drives home the the idea that not only did he genuinely want to help Peter, but he also wanted Peter to feel like he can trust him and to still come to him when he needs help. This and the insistence of not being called “sir” really shows just how much Stephen has softened himself around Peter.
