[Gen to Everyone/Everyone] Papa's gonna buy you... anonymous May 7 2012, 00:31:55 UTC
Tony really enjoys buying/building the other Avengers things they mention wanting or needing. Natasha mentions this obscure brand of expensive chocolates she once enjoyed on a mission and can't seem to find? Tony orders some in bulk. Bruce misses a certain tea, or mentions in passing that he wants a piece of lab equipment? Already bought it, and here I made adjustments so the equipment is even better than it was! Steve wants a really old film that's only on VHS and is really hard to find? Oh, I just had it in storage... Clint likes perching up high, but lacks enough places to do so in comfort? Was just about to remodel the place anyway. Thor mentions some obscure Nordic food that he misses? Tony knows just the place ( ... )

A/N: Ok, so Steve's section turned out to run a little long. I had a bit too much fun on this part, I think. XD

“I don’t get what it is with Steve the past few days,” Natasha mumbled into her coffee mug. Pepper, sitting on the opposite side of the bar from her, tilted her head to the side in confusion.

“Something the matter?”

“Yeah, I guess, but he won’t open up about it. Clint and I both tried, but we got nothing.”

“What makes you so sure he’s upset?”

“Well, you know how on-task he is about everything he does, but lately he’s been distant. Not only socially, I mean just not there. Didn’t say a thing at our last group meeting, but Clint caught him down in the gym sending punching bags flying across the room.”

“Tony has told me about his,” Pepper coughed, “unique regimen ( ... )

A knock thudded against Steve’s door, pulling his attention from A People’s History of the United States. A puzzled glance measured the entryway; he received no visitors apart from the odd fellow Avenger, and even that was exceedingly rare. The apartment he had here was really only for sleeping, or for times like this, when he just wanted to be somewhere quiet and solitary. And given the fact he’d been putting everyone at arm’s length the past week, he doubted it would be any of them. Nonetheless, he stood and made for the door. It could be a delivery man of some sort who’d come here by mistake, or something, and would need redirection. Upon opening the door, however, he was greeted by a stunning brunette almost as tall as he was. She appeared almost as surprised as him, and gave him the once-over. Her lips briefly pursed in attempt to hide a smile ( ... )

It took quite a bit of time and doing, but before too terribly long Marinka had him making slow, three-fourths time circles with her around his tiny living room. The task had been made extra difficult as Steve had to also concentrate on not crushing his dance partner’s hand from anxiety, along with everything else.

“My god, he hadn’t been kidding when he said you could be clumsy,” she snickered good-naturedly, “but once you got it, you’re a pretty quick study.”

“He, hmm?” Steve repeated teasingly, “That narrows down the list.” Marinka tried to backpedal, but could only get out a few nervous ‘ums’ and breathy laughs. “I-I know a lot of people, Steve, it could be anyone ( ... )

But this fic, oh for it I could try! You got me to like Marinka so quickly too, and she is the savvy one haahaa! Oh Tony. Teaching Cap how to dance is the best thing ever, I could never have thought of it. Thank you once again for writing Nonny!

YAY FOR TONY!!!

In my head, I always have to remember that Tony is a billionaire and what I think is one type of spending isn't for him.

It makes for amusing self-conversations, in between this BEAUTIFUL FANFICTION OF WONDERFULNESS!!

A/N: This is just a mini-chapter I suddenly dreamt up while working on the next section. A little tongue-in-cheek, slightly cracky fun. Hope this tides you all over 'til I formally update. ^_ ( ... )

Oh my god, that last one was freaking hilarious. I love that Loki actually read it. Trust Tony to know exactly what kind of therapy Loki needs.

Tony heard a door slam, and Pepper soon appeared, rounding a corner into the kitchen. He caught a kiss from her as she strode past for access to the refrigerator, presumably for her pre-bedtime mineral water.

“Welcome home. How was your girls’ night out? Or really, girl-and-super-ninja’s night out would be more accurate,” he snarked, sculpting himself a magnificent roast beef sandwich for his dinner. Pepper strode up and smacked him playfully on the arm with her clutch in rebuke.

“Stop that. Tasha’s a perfectly normal woman off the clock, you know.”

“She has no concept of being off the clock. The only times she knows is ‘humorless ass-kicking time’ and ‘waiting humorlessly for ass-kicking time’,” he insisted, making kung-fu-type swipes at the air as he spoke.” No one seems to appreciate how much more I have to relax and have fun for the sake of people like Romanoff that can’t shake the stick from their ass,” Tony whined theatrically at Pepper’s rolled eyes ( ... )

Natasha kept a small workbench at SHIELD headquarters for her personal weapon modifications, and was where she spent a good chunk of her free time when she wasn’t sparring with Clint. She was surprised to find, one morning when she arrived, a box sitting atop it wrapped in gaudy glitter wrapping paper with an ostentatious silver bow attached to the top. A small piece of paper also came into view when she pushed aside the massive decoration. Upon retrieving and unfolding it, she found a note.

My lawyers told me buying you a dress could be construed as sexual harassment, which this totally isn’t, by the way, so I settled on proper accoutrements. A few more pairs are being delivered (by SHIELD, don't worry) to your safehouse, so don't feel like you can't wear them because they'll be ruined. Made a nice, practical modification myself, too. If you’re looking to pass yourself off as a foreign debutant for your solo Charlie’s Angels schtick, you should look the part. A cheap outfit isn’t gonna fool any of those evil dictators’ rental- ( ... )

Tony grumbled at his computer monitor in distaste. He had a simple word document open on the screen detailing personal preferences and interests for the rest of the team; even Romanoff’s was a novel, compared to what he had gathered on the archer. He’d spent weeks and a few thousand dollars trying unsuccessfully to tail Barton back to wherever he lived. PIs, drones, a few custom-made tracers surreptitiously placed on his clothes, his gear bag, the quiver, Natasha - none of it had worked. After all of his attempted spying, he’d given up and asked Barton where he lived directly, only to receive a smug smirk in reply.

That had made it an open challenge. He’d been loath to crack SHIELD’s databases again, since he’d already tipped his hand using the trick once before, but with his pride in his stubbornness on the line, there was no limit to how far he’d go for his information. So, cracked the database he did, and acquired Barton’s address, though he lamented the crude methods he’d taken to do so. Now, all that was left was an ( ... )

Clint opened his locker and found a post-it note stuck to the inside of the door.

Found you. :)Damn. Stark had finally figured it out. Clint had long since viewed it as a foregone conclusion, but was a bit sad to see his fun end. Their colleagues had been gossiping back and forth over Stark’s extravagant gift-giving, and Clint wanted no part of it. He hadn’t gotten specifics yet, as he’d been out of the country for most of that time on various missions; he wasn’t going to go out of his way to learn, either. It wasn’t his business. Stark was growing on him, sure, but throwing money at him wasn’t going to expedite the process. He had no need of anything material, and he had little intention of giving the billionaire reason to start thinking he did. He packed up his bag and headed for home, dreading what he was going to find when he got there. More post-it notes declaring Stark’s superiority, most likely. That, and obvious fingerprints proving he’d touched Clint’s stuff, just because he could. Upon arrival at his apartment, he flicked ( ... )
