Dorothea-Jane

It’s currently 5am in the Uk and I’ve been up since 3am buzzing about the fact that today is WandaVision day!

Since Wales are in the third lockdown I have nothing else going on so don’t judge me!

Anyway, it’s a little messy because I’m tired but here is my double page WandaVision spread (too much Wanda and Vision, not enough Monica, Jimmy and Darcy but I’m planning on doing a desperate spread for them when the series ends.)

En Passant - Part One

He watched as she glided along the floor, dancing with her eldest brother. He pretends to hate her but with that smile, it’s impossible.

Loki couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if he just gave in. She was so desirable, so temping. But he could not allow his father to win.

“Brother.” Thor announced, causing Loki to briefly glance back. “I knew I’d find you here. Is there no maiden for which you’d like to escort?”

Loki continued to look at her. The way her golden gown reflected the light as she twirled, beaming with happiness,

“Ah I see.” Thor laid a heavy hand on his brother shoulder in an act of sympathy. “The girl you long for is dancing with another.”

“I do not long for her, brother.” Loki shrugged off Thor’s hand and stepped away from the balcony. He headed for the bar carr the was situated behind the small two person black table.

Thor rolled his eyes and joined his brother at the table. Loki poured strong scotch into a glass with no ice and took a sip. He pulled out a fresh glass and used the prongs to take out a large square of ice from the ice bucket. He poured scotch over the ice and handed the glass to his brother.

“Thanks.” Thor muttered, and the two partook in a silent cheers.

“And why aren’t you waltzing with your date?” Loki asked, pulling up a chair.

“Because if I have to deflect yet another question regarding mother’s jewels I shall feed her the damn sapphires.” Thor joked.

Loki smirked, knowing that half of the young girls at this ball were only here to score a proposal from one of the princes and land themselves the royal fortune.

“Harsh, brother. Princess Theodora is the daughter of one of our closest allies.”

“Yes, Loki you have a point.” Thor stood and began walking towards the door. He paused and said, “I shall send her to you so that you may entertain her.”

“Don’t you even-“ Before Loki could finish Thor had ran out of the room, Loki hot on his heels.

The brothers ran through the palace halls, playfully sparring the way that they were trained as boys. It was respectful yet brutal, scary yet full of humour. Should any strangers witness this they would believe them to be savagely fighting. But to the guards who lined the halls, this was just an average Saturday with the young princes.

As the fumbled their way to the bottom of the stairs, landing on the red velvet carpet, there was the sound of someone clearing there throat. “Hello, boys.” The feminine voice addressed.

Both Thor and Loki crained their necks to look up at the door way. There she stood in all her glory. Loki took in the way her Opal eyes and golden dress sparkled under the dimmed lights above her head.

“Darling,” Thor started, pulling himself from the ground and Loki’s vice like grip. He strolled over to the young woman and knelt down. He took her hand and placed a soft kiss on her knuckles. “A fine young lady such as yourself should never have to witness such savagery. Please accept but humble apologies.”

She fainned annoyance and looked away. “I’m not sure I shall ever recover from such horrid sights.” She looked back at the older prince and smirked. She twisted his arm catching him off guard and slipped her heeled foot behind the back of his ankle, tripping him up. He landed on the ground with a thud and a grunt and she chuckled.

Stepping over Thor and sauntering towards Loki, she smiled at the youngest Prince. “Shall you be my next victim?”

Loki bowed and took a knee, “please spare me Your Grace?”

She rolled her eyes and held out a hand. He took it and she pulled him up. “Only if you save me a dance?”

Loki cleared his throat and stepped back. “Duchess you know I don’t dance.”

Duchess smiled and shook her head. “Yes. Well, it was worth a try.”

“To apologise for my brother’s rejection of such a lovely creature, may I offer my hand?” Thor asked, now standing behind the pair.

“You may.” Loki answered for her, “but how will you handle the rejection?”

“You believe she will reject?”

“She,” Duchess started, “is right here.”

Loki raised a brow at her and she looked back at Thor. “However, your brother is correct. It is not appropriate for me to accept your hand when I am so publicly associated with your brother. It will look improper.”

Thor nodded and stepped back. “I understand.”

“And since your brother shows no interest in me, my only dance partner tonight shall be Henry. If you will excuse me.” Duchess gave a friendly nod to both princes before lifting the bottom of her dress of the ground and walking back to the ballroom.

Thor turned back to Loki, who was looking down at the ground. “You know you hurt her brother. Every time you reject her.”

“She doesn’t really want me brother. It is how she was raised. To believe that one day, we will be wed. But I will not allow that man to sign away my future.”

“That man is our father and you will speak of him with respect. Now I understand the frustration, your freedoms have been taken away. But the woman you have been set up with is a woman you admire. You would have been her suitor regardless of this alliance. But you are too stubborn to accept it.”

“It is not stubbornness that stops me from seeking her company. It is the satisfaction on father’s face when he wins, when he gets everything he wants. I refuse to be a pawn on his chess board.”

Stained Lace.

We meet Dorothea Penrose at a party. But not just any party, her family’s gala at the town hall held in honour of the Asgardians.

However, the Asguardian’s never planned on coming. Well, all except one. Loki Odinson arrived and quite literally sweeps Princess Thea of her feet. However as the moment falls into place, their faces just centimetres from each other, Thea expects a kiss from the Prince. Except, she’s given a knife. In the stomach. With a twist.

This is an enemies to lover series and I hope you like it!! I haven’t written anything in a while so please be kind.

A Bucky Barnes Fanfic

Just found this old fic in my drafts folder. Would you guys like a new Bucky Barnes fanfic?

“I shouldn’t be here.”

Bucky rolled his eyes at the girls nervous stature. “Would you relax. Unfold your arms you’re making it obvious.”

“There’s nobody here Buck.” She retorted and continued to rub her cold arms, now speckled with goosebumps as the cold New Jersey air blew over them.

“Alright then no need to worry. Just live a little would you, Porter?” Bucky sent her a wink and began to climb up the timber fencing.

It took Sam a lot of convincing before she finally agreed to go on this one mission. She was no Avenger, hell she had never even been to the gym. But Sam knew she had the skills. She had grown up hacking school computers and rewiring equipment. Now she helped the Avengers track bad guys behind the scenes and even invented a new security software that searches all of the internet to pull bits of coded information that helped them take out three hydra bases.

Zara Porter stood at the bottom of the fence, looking around anxiously, just waiting to get caught. She looked back up at Bucky to see him holding out a metal hand to her. She didn’t exactly trust the wooden fence and decided to take it. He pulled her up with such force that the sudden jolt of heavy weight caused Bucky to fall from the fence and pull Lorelai with him. He landed on the wet grass with a thud and she landing on top of him, her head hitting his chest.

“Sorry...” He groaned out. “Sometimes I underestimate how strong I am.”

She rolled her chin over the soft black hoodie he was wearing until she could see him. His blue eyes met her brown ones and he smirked at her, double shrugging his eyebrows suggestively at their position.

“Before you say anything else, Pervy, just remember who has the extraction location and code word from Sam. I will not hesitate to leave your ass here.”

Bucky nodded and she smiled. She gave him a small tap on the chest before placing her palms on the dewy grass to push herself up.

“Remind me why Sam asked you to come with me again?” Bucky Inquired as he brushed the various strands of grass from his elbows.

Zara sighed and folded her arms once again. “Because Wanda was busy probably.” She shrugged.

“Seriously? Can you just catch me up and give me a bit of info. No joking this time.” Bucky raised a brow at her, telling her that he genuinely wanted to know why she was involved.

“Because I was the one who hacked the security system here. When Sam and Steve were trying to find you, pre-airport bust up, they hired me to hack some files to find you. The other day when going through those files I found that there was still some sort of device here that was giving of signals. Sam wants us to check it out.”

Bucky nodded and muttered a quick thanks. He was more focused on scanning the location. The grass they had fallen on was part of a much bigger field surrounding the army base and a few smaller cabins.

They were caught of guard as the sound of creaking metal sounded throughout the field. Both of them shot to look in the direction of the sound and saw the main door to the army base opening as two soldiers stepped out.

Bucky grabbed Zara’s hand and took of running, pulling her with him for the second time today. He pulled her in front of him and hid her behind the first cabin. He stood just in front of her to peer around the wall.

She knew she need to keep quiet, but just as Bucky watched the men walk towards them a wasp flew onto Zara’s arm and she let out a squeal.

Bucky looked back at her to see her scrunching up her face, trying her absolute best not to scream out in pure fear. He furrowed his brows at her and whispered “Swat it away!”

“No! That’s disrespectful to Hope.” She whisper yelled back and he narrowed his eyes at her. He watched the guys pull out cigarettes and knew he had some time.

Bucky crouched down on the grass beside her leaning back against his knees. His metal finger came up and gently swiped the wasp from her bare arm. The wasp flew up into the air and disappeared into ten elements.

In a soft tone with a gentle smile Bucky asked “Now was that so hard?”

Zara shurgged and finally relaxed and leaned her cold back against the cabin wall. “I guess not.”

Bucky looked down at his hand to see the wasp had left a stinger. The bastard tried to sting me - he thought to himself. He sideeyed Zara And decided to keep that information to himself.

“Yeah were both safe thanks for asking.”

Sam shrugged and looked at Zara. “Girly you alright?”

“All good.” Zara replied monotone, bored from waiting around for so long.

“There we are then.” Sam shrugged. “What do you want Bucky? I’m getting ready for extraction.”

“We haven’t even gotten into the building yet. These two hydra ass’s have been standing here smoking carton after carton. Can you send redwing 112?”

“Sure thing.”

Three minutes later Sam’s favourite little weapon was flying in, bypassing all security cameras (which Zara had hacked and disarmed anyway) and hovering above the hydra operatives disguised as soldiers. Redwing shot out a sedative-filled darts at each soldier, piercing their necks and rendering them unconscious.

Bucky pressed his earpiece and asked Sam to have Redwing scan the building for heat signatures. Sam told him that the building was clear and they were safe to enter.

“Let’s go.” Bucky held out a hand for her and she took it. He pulled her to her feat and gave her a smile. “Try to enjoy this. This is a fun one.” He then took of running towards the base. Zara ran behind, silently cursing herself for getting involved.

The pair made it to the basement where Zara began to trace the signals with her phone. The red dot on the screen showed where the signal was coming from, which evidently was right where she was standing.

“Bucky...” She whispered, too scared move let alone talk loud. Bucky was rifling through boxes, unable to hear her. “Bucky.” She said louder.

“Little busy, Zar.” He shrugged her off. He emptied that box and turned around, seeing her frozen frame his eyes widened and panic surged through him. “What is it?”

She shook her head. “It’s under-“ Before she could finish her sentence the floor caved in and she fell through the ground.

“ZARA!” Bucky screeched. Without thinking he ran to hole in the ground and dived in head first. He was free faking for what felt like forever until he landed on his side on solid ground, covered in rubble.

He began ripping up piles of concrete and bricks surrounding him, yelling her name. “OH GOD. OH GOD OH GOD.” He hadn’t felt this kind of emotion in years. Sure, he worries about Steve and obviously he was concerned for Sam (even if he hid it well) and his other teammates but not enough to throw himself into the danger zone.

He had only known her for a short amount of time, less than a month, but he knew that Sam cared for her very much. She and Wanda are good friends and of course she had other friends and family that love and care about her. He couldn’t let them down, he couldn’t let her down. He didn’t want to admit it but, he also cared for her.

He cut his flesh hand pulling up boards and heavy blocks, he strained his back trying his best to lift a chunk of cement even Steve would’ve struggled with, he sweat through his clothes as adrenaline rushes through him 50x the normal person.

Just as the first tear left his eye, realisation hit him that he may have just lost a colleague to his own poor negligence. He should have responded. He should have kept better eye on her. What was he thinking bringing along a start up Agent. She was briefed on the safety protocols and evac situations but he didn’t think to cover falling through the floor!

“I’m ok...” Came a weak voice from behind him. Bucky span around and saw Zara’s brunette curls ruffled amongst some dry wall. Her torso was lodged under a filing cabinet while her legs covered in shattered cement and brick. Her chest and face was covered in hundreds and thousands of pieces of shards of glass, many of which piercing her skin.

He ran to her side and lifted the cabinet from her. She flinched but was then able to take a deep breath. She tried to pull herself up but had hurt her back from the fall.

Bucky’s heart aches as she let out a wicker of pain. “Shshsh it’s okay, I’ve got you babe.” His hands went to her sides as he lifted her, then finally he got a good grip on her back and hoisted her up.

Bucky held her in his arms as he looked around for an exit point. Seeing that they were helpless, he looked down at the pain filled look on the woman’s face. “This is probably the wrong time to say this but, could you tell me the extraction code word.”

“Wiener soldier.” She couldn’t help but crack a smile as she said it.

“Ha ha.” Bucky shook his head. “Now’s no time for jokes Doll. What’s the word Sam told you?”

“That was it Buck...” She paused, trying not to laugh as it hurt too much. “Wiener soldier is the code.”

“Fantastic.”
