#here’s what I want to happen #the Avengers are having some sort of throw down and they are losing #Hawkeye’s doing what he can sniping people from his roof but there’s too many bad guys #but suddenly shots start coming from a different roof right #and it’s enough to turn the tide of the fight #and Clint books it over there to see what’s happening in case this other sniper is a threat #and the other’s are on the ground and then Clint just says through the earpieces #’Hey Cap there’s a one armed bandit up here who says he’s wants to give you some of your stupid back’ #’does that mean something to you’ #’Cap you hear me?’ #but Steve doesn’t hear him #Steve is already sprinting towards that roof (via)

I NEED A 50K FANFIC OF THIS

As another agent hits the ground, Steve steps back, an arrow grazing his nose and hitting the person coming up the stairs, guns raised. Steve lifts a hand, signals up at the rooftop out of pure habit, then pops the shield up off the ground. Strapping it back to his arm, he jogs across the rooftop, slipping over the edge and down the fire escape, back to where he should have been in the first place.

“What the hell Steve?” Nat’s voice crackles through the comm, quieter than usual, and Steve shoves the earpiece back into it’s proper position before joining back up with Nat and Thor.

“Hydra on the rooftop,” he explains quickly, slamming his shield against an agent’s head before pulling it off his arm and throwing it. ”Any sign of them slowing down?” he asks as he catches the shield and punches another guy in the face.

“Nope” Tony answers for her, as the man himself flies into sight, avoiding the gunfire of the quinjet tailing him. “They’re like rats. Or rabbits. Or-” He’s cut off as he’s forced to throw himself backwards to avoid another barrage.

Steve grits his teeth, not liking how this was looking one little bit, and opens his mouth to speak when he hears Clint’s “Uh..?” Steve looks up, concerned, but sees nothing. Then he ducks as a fist comes flying at his head, holding back an undignified yelp.

“Clint?” Nat picks up, unfazed as she tases someone. “Do you need support?”

Just as Clint goes to answer, the agent Steve’s fighting drops, and then the one sneaking up on Nat follows. Shot after shot rings out, and agent after agent falls, with only a few of them boasting Clint’s arrows.

None of them have time to question it as a new wave of agents appears, but whoever was firing was damned good, and fast as hell. with the added backup, they manage to take control of the fight, killing or capturing the last of the hydra agents. Steve only has to say “Clint,” before they can all hear the sound of Clint running, the thud of him landing on the next rooftop, and then him yelping “What the hell?”

Then there’s quiet. Steve looks at Nat. Nat looks at Tony. Tony nods, ready to take off, when Clint’s voice comes over the comm, sounding confused.

“Hey, Cap, there’s some guy up here with a big ass gun and a shiny as fuck arm saying he’s giving- no, he’s brought the stupid back for you, but he doesn’t think you need it.” Steve doesn’t hesitate, grabbing his shield and running for the building Clint had been positioned on. “Cap? does that mean anything to you?”

Steve doesn’t answer, just pushes himself faster, then hears Tony’s “Hold on” and hears Tony flying towards him. He doesn’t think, just holds up his hand, latches on to Tony’s, and feels himself be lifted off the ground.

The trip doesn’t take long, ten, maybe twenty seconds, but the whole time Steve’s telling himself not to hope, not to expect, that it couldn’t be, but it had to be, because only one person alive would know what that meant.

His feet hit the rooftop, and Tony lands behind him, but Steve’s not paying attention to him anymore, or to Clint, standing awkwardly to the side. His eyes are locked on the raised eyebrow, the familiar tilt to lips he knows better than his own. His voice is soft when he speaks, but he knows the other can hear him fine. Knows he has hearing almost as good as Steve does now.

“Bucky?”

OH MY GOD CAN YOU PLEASE WRITE MORE OF THAT STUCKY ROOFTOP THING P L E A S E

just for u nonnie (read first)

Steve could hear the clamouring of voices over the comm, could hear Clint saying something, Tony replying, but all he could think about was the fact that, after all this time searching, Bucky had found him. Bucky had found him after Steve had given up looking.

He takes a step forward, then another, and Bucky just watches him, waits for him, little smile not leaving his face. Steve had no idea what the others were thinking, didn’t care at all as he reached out. His touch was hesitant, fingers brushing against Bucky’s cheek, like he was expecting this whole thing to be a dream. But when all he encountered was warm skin, his fingers slid down, off Bucky’s jaw to grip at his jacket. His knuckles were white as he clung to the material, and he hesitated, gaze flicking over Bucky’s face.

Bucky’s smile grew slightly, and he stepped in when Steve wouldn’t, one arm wrapping around Steve’s waist, pulling him into a hug. And Steve all but fell into it, wrapping his arms around Bucky’s shoulders and just holding him tightly. “Buck,” he started, but Bucky hushed him, knowing what the next words out of Steve’s mouth were going to be and cutting the apology off before it had begun. Steve dropped his head, rested his cheek against Bucky’s and did as he was told for once.

“Sorry to interrupt this touching scene-” Tony began, and Clint poked him with the butt of an arrow before taking over.

“But we’re on a rooftop in the middle of New York, can we move this inside maybe? Away from the news cameras?” Clint looked up pointedly, and Steve reluctantly followed his gaze to the CNN helicopter flying around them. Steve dropped his arms, went to step back, to break contact, but Bucky wrapped his fingers around Steve’s wrist. He didn’t do anything further, just kept his hand there loosely, and Steve looked at him, eyebrows drawing down.

Bucky just shrugged with one shoulder, grabbed the case Steve assumed had his rifle in it, then slid his hand down to link their fingers, as though he knew Steve needed something to hold on to. But, Steve realised, looking at Bucky as they headed for the door into the building, maybe Bucky needed the same thing.

Downgoing Men

So three months after I was supposed to have this done I finally managed to finish the last part of Approved Tolerance! This is the ‘short’ coda to In His Own Way, which picks up immediately after In His Own Way ends, so you may want to reread the last scene of that fic to get a refresher on what’s going on. If you’re a first time reader, I’m afraid this fic won’t make a whole lot of sense if you haven’t read In His Own Way first, since it establishes the relationship and works out the details of the AU characterization.

Title: Downgoing Men
Rating: NC-17
Pairing(s): Hide/Kaneki
Wordcount: 11,517
Warnings/Kinks: none
Summary: Hide was pretty sure that this was not the order in which things were supposed to happen on a first date. But Kaneki had smiled more in the last two hours than in the entire time he had known him, so Hide couldn’t really bring himself to care.

Downgoing Men

in the movie a little boy recognises steve at the captain america exhibit. it’s my headcanon that a little girl recognises bucky when he goes to the smithsonian exhibit to find out who he really is

because little girls have heroes too

“You should tie your hair back,” a little girl with pitch-black hair says to the Winter Soldier. He stares down at her, silent, but she continues undeterred. “Mommy says that we need to have our hair tied back or we’ll trip over things because we can’t see. She makes me wear these–” She displays her wrist, which is encircled by a rainbow of different hair bands. “–because mine keep falling out. You can’t fight evil if you can’t see it. I want to be a police officer when I grow up. Are you a…”

She trails off, her eyes steadily getting bigger. They dart to the large digital image of James Buchanan Barnes, then back to his face. The Winter Soldier’s eyes dart, too, over the exits and the crowd and the girl’s distracted mother–attempting to corral three other black-haired children–before landing back on the girl’s face, where an improbable grin has begun to grow.

“I knew it,” she whispers.

The Winter Soldier blinks down at her, thrown off by the delight in her expression. No one is ever happy to see the Soldier.

The girl reins in her wide grin and does her own scan of the crowd. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell. People can’t handle the truth. But I can.” She turns her shining eyes back to the Soldier.

Slowly, very slowly, the Soldier reaches out with hands that have broken, maimed, strangled, shot, stabbed, and ripped apart human flesh. His voice creaks out of him, rusty with disuse. “Can I have a hair tie?”

Without taking her eyes off him, the girl rolls a light blue one out of the rainbow and hands it over.

This was supposed to be a little sketch tribute that predictably turned into a tiny monster. Dx Thanks to Demi, Hana and OBQ for the extra push!

Inspired by Emrys Ascending by tricksterity, which I enjoyed tremendously. (Please please please update soon please. *grovels*) 

Uh… hello? He muttered in his mind.
Merlin Emrys! I- what are- what an honour! The Hat stuttered, and Merlin suppressed a laugh.
The honour is all mine, he replied. So… sort me, I guess.
But where to put you? You possess every quality of each house in massive quantities, you would easily belong in any house you wished! It squeaked out.
So you mean that I can just choose any house? You’re not going to sort me? He asked it.
I-Well, I didn’t exactly mean that, the Hat stuttered again.
Let’s start from the bottom then, shall we?
