tony has jarvis set up a protocol where he blasts music all around the house/tower whenever he makes a breakthrough in his work. 

no one knows about this protocol, so the first time it happens after all the avengers move in together, steve thinks they’re being attacked. he books it into the living room with his shield ready. nat and bruce were already there, and she whips a gun out of thin air. bruce is so startled, he started hulking out, but he doesn’t complete the transformation because that’s when tony runs into the room, pumping his fists above his head while singing along to eye of the tiger that’s playing through the speakers. bruce instantly settles back into being bruce again, steve and nat lower their weapons, and they just watch tony, who doesn’t seem to notice them and continues doing laps around the living room, still pumping his fists, until the song is over.

when the music fades out, tony finally notices them and he’s like, “oh hey guys! guess what! i’m brilliant, i’m a genius, i just discovered the most amazing thing, so it’s time to celebrate! hit it jarvis!” and suddenly the chorus to we are the champions starts playing and tony spreads his arms out and sings along. “we are the champions!!!! of the wooooorld!!!”

and when that fades out, bruce clears his throat and asks, “so...what... did you discover?”

tony launches into a long explanation about what he’d been doing for the last three days down in the lab, and bruce is the only one who can keep up with the scientific jargon, but it’s cute watching tony get so excited and seeing his eyes light up while he goes on babbling, so nat and steve stay to listen to him talk. when tony runs out of breath and finishes talking, they take him out to dinner to celebrate.

oh this is a good one! thank you for sending this in! 

Bruce pushed his glasses higher on his nose, quietly standing to exit the lab. As he turned to leave, though, he was caught off guard by a figure standing in the doorway. “Who’s there?” He questioned aloud, bracing himself on the table behind him. The figure stepped into the light, and Bruce breathed a sigh of relief. It was just Thor.

“My apologies,” Thor said, “I wasn’t trying to startle you.” Bruce waved him off and stepped closer, absently smoothing a wrinkle on his shirt.

“What’s up?” He asked his friend. “It’s late.”

Thor nodded at the observation, tilting his head to the side as though pondering what to say. “I have something that I’d like to speak with you about, if that’s alright.” Bruce felt anxiety shoot through his gut, but he smiled anyway.

“Let’s go sit down?” Thor nodded again, following Bruce to the common area. Bruce sat nervously on the couch, silently appreciating the way Thor looked in the semi-darkness. “So,” Bruce started, eyeing Thor’s hands, the way they were wringing over each other restlessly, “is there something wrong?”

Thor let out a dry laugh, turning his face to the floor. “No, no,” he said quietly, “I’m just a tad nervous. It’s not every day that you confess your love for someone.” Bruce chuckled with empathy, before realizing what exactly Thor was implying. The god was still a little hunched in the chair, his hands starting to fidget even more uneasily.

“For me?” Bruce asked, his voice small.

Another Czech tradition is cutting an apple horizontally​. Then we look inside to see in what shape are the seeds. If it’s a star, you’re good, but if it’s a cross, you’re in trouble. And we don’t have Santa on Christmas, instead we have Ježíšek, little Jesus, who gives gifts as a thank you for all the gifts everyone gave him when he was a newborn.
