    Summary

    The picture changed again, and Pepper gasped sharply.

    Tony Stark lay flat on his back.

    The billionaire subsequently breathed in and blinked awake in a half startled grunt. Pepper and Happy watched in frozen shock as Tony watched the ceiling a moment before turning his head to the side. Then his head went back again, and he closed his eyes with a groan. The camera trailed over to the source of Tony’s displeasure. There at his side, still unconscious, was Captain Steve Rogers.

    Or rather:

    Several months after Civil War, a new threat presents itself, in which Tony, Steve, Peter, Sam, Wanda, Clint, Natasha, Bruce and Bucky are captured and thrown together on an Island that had been manufactured by Hydra. Trapped, The Avengers have no other choice but to rely on both their wits and one another as they brave the elements, face off against new foes eager to make a name for themselves, and of course, try and make their way home alive.

    (So far, the only thing they can agree on is keeping spider kid from dying, which is a pretty low bar, but it’s a start.)

    Oh, and they have no idea that their every move is being filmed and broadcasted live on national television.

    Summary

    “Do you like it here?” Steve asked.

    He saw the way Bucky furrowed his brow, face caught in a grimace that didn’t really seem to know what emotion it wanted to convey. “I wouldn’t say that.”

    Steve couldn’t hold back a smile, “Me neither.”


    In which Steve takes the Winter Soldier on a museum date and things escalate from there.

    Summary

    They have an arrangement.

    Eight months of Thursdays. Eight months of Bruce cataloguing everything he tells himself he's not cataloguing — the sounds Clark makes, the impossible heat of him, the way his sleeping body turns toward Bruce's corner of the room. Eight months of very carefully not calling it what it is.

    Then Clark shows up on a Sunday and asks Bruce what he knows.

    Turns out Bruce knows exactly what this is. He's known since Kazakhstan, since a restaurant at 3 AM, since Clark said I'd like to come back from this to a bowl of pelmeni and Bruce filed it under highest priority classification and declined to retrieve it.

    He's retrieving it now.

    (Or: Bruce Wayne's comprehensive manual on how to be in love with Clark Kent while pretending very hard that you're not, until you can't pretend anymore, at which point you should probably just say it out loud. Featuring: a case, a conspiracy, water rights journalism, one teenager's homemade piezometers, and Bruce Wayne learning that sometimes staying is scarier than any exit he's ever built.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "You like the cave," Bruce says.

    "Yes."

    "It's a cave."

    "It's your cave," Clark says. "Which makes it better than other caves."

     

    I really love this particular exchange it's so cute.

    Anyway im regards to literally everything else, I ALSO love it, I feel like Bruce's voice is a challenge to capture since he's so avoidant but also painfully aware of...everything? but the clinical way he speaks here is so fitting to the way he processes things, his difficulty with staying clinical when it comes to what he loves (and won't admit he loves (the fiest appearance of the word "love" really just hits)) is so clear from the get-go too the poor guy is so obsessed but so in denial for so long. The way Bruce focuses on patterns is really apparent with the prose and its so beautiful to see the way Bruce begins to notice shifts and can name things that were always there after time. I love how Clark fits into Bruce's tone too, and the way Bruce is so focused on his warmth, literal and otherwise.

    The case, the Garcias, also take a spotlight which i wasnt initially expecting but loved. Martha and Alfred mentions, as always, gave me feels I just love parental figures of heroes so much even if the dynamics weren't explored too much you could feel how they shape the heroes and their actions.
