I can't remember all the details, but the long and short of it is that Marinette and Adrien end up sexting each other (pretty sure as Chat Noir and Ladybug), and Alya basically ends up giving them objective lessons separately? Like, she doesn't have anything to do with either of them relationship wise, romantically, or sexually, she's basically just giving them a formula for how to do it well? And nobody knows that it's each other that they're sending them to, not even Alya? Marinette might have even been the only one she gave actual lessons to, and Adrien just somehow got access to them?

that's an AMAZING idea and I'm now sad that it definitely wasn't mine :'(

oh my god yes 

and it’s probably during dinner too, when everyone is sitting at the table, where they can all talk together and listen, pitch in, stir the conversation - because you know Tony demands that everyone be sat together for meals, since he never had that. 

Look no, look

The first time Toni takes her bra off without ever taking her shirt off everybody but Rhodey, Natasha, and, unsurprisingly enough, Clint, look at her like she’s fucking magic.

Because men.

But yeah the first time she does it, long after they’re a family and this kind of shit is safe(TM) for her, she tosses the thing to the side.

Only she hits Steve square in the face with it.

So here’s Steve, all 6+ feet of pure muscle, with this skimpy black lace bra hanging from his head and the boy looks like he’s going to die.

No one knew his face could get that red.

No one thought it was humanly possible.

Bucky isn’t much better, he’s frozen, eyes wide and cheeks just a bit flushed.

Toni’s pretty sure she broke the both of them tbh.

Rhodey thinks it’s the Best(TM) and makes sure to hold up all the new bras Toni takes off like that and comment on how cute they are, or how they match those panties Pepper bought her, or if she still has “the ones like this one but with the little cut outs, you know the ones I’m talkin about Tones”.

This actually a harder choice than one would think?

Fuck: Wanda, because fuck her. It’d have to be hate sex tbh. 

Marry: Justin Hammer. Oh I’d marry him in a heartbeat and then I’d promptly divorce him, take half his money, half the shares in his company, and promptly ally myself with Stark Industries.

Toni doesn’t do well with physical affection outside of Rhodey and the bots, not at first, not till she’s known you for a while.  She is, arguably, touch-starved in a lot of ways.

So with Rhodey she’s obviously very hands on and touchy.  With JARVIS he has no body so she shows her affection by letting him constantly watch her, by having very very few boundaries when it comes to what he sees because it lets him feel safe and secure to have her under his surveillance.  The bots are a mix of toddlers and puppies when it comes to affection so there’s lots of pets/hugs/patting and letting them always, always, press close to her.

With Happy and Pepper there are rare full body hugs but normally her physical affection is smaller, softer.

She puts her hand in the crook of Happy’s arm, trusts him to get within arm’s reach, lets him tuck her behind him when they move through crowds even if he isn’t her bodyguard anymore. She lets him dominate the space around her in a small way because she knows it makes him happy to protect her in any way he can.

With Pepper it’s tugging gently on her hair like Pepper does on hers, it’s gentle hand holding, it’s putting herself between Pepper and anyone else who might pose a threat even though she knows Pepper is a BAMF in her own right.

It’s letting both of them hand her things and never flinching away when they move closer.

When it comes to the Avengers it’s different for each of them I think once they’re settled and a family.

It’s hands on arms and shoulders and full body hugs with Bruce because she’s not afraid of him or Hulk and she wants the both of them to know.

With Thor it’s indulging his courtly manners. It’s kisses to her knuckles, her hand in the crook of his arm as they walk together, a million and one courtesies that Thor clings to now when he’s far from Asgard and missing everything he once took for granted.

Clint is a rougher kind of affection, more childish.  A peppy sort of humor that belays the suffering they’ve both endured.  It’s less physical affection and more gentle warfare, pranks and gags and dry, silly humor.  It’s also late nights pressed shoulder to shoulder, hearing aids off and hands moving silently and fluidly as they talk without ever saying a word.

Natasha is harder because they both have so many years of using their bodies, their beauty, as weapons in their own ways.  So for them physical affection is a act of never touching without permission.  It’s dancing together, side by side, in the ballet studio they both know how to use.  It’s dancing together at galas, palms just shy of touching as they stun a crowd by twirling across the floor together.

For Bucky and Steve it’s all heavier, hotter.  More.  It’s things picked up and cobbled together from all the other relationships she has and then singular things added to it.  It’s letting herself be physically vulnerable to them.  Letting them crowd her against wall, sitting on their laps, letting them curl around her, box her in, and not feeling trapped.  It’s kisses on lips/cheeks/foreheads. Hands on shoulders, backs, hips.

It’s, eventually, hair down, wings and arc reactor uncovered.
