Summary:

During a wonderful, romantic evening at home, Bucky surprises Steve by mentioning retirement.

Then during a mission, someone abducts Bucky. Again. Half-crazy with worry for his husband and rage at whoever has dared to touch him, Steve vows that this time is the last time. When he orders different mission parameters than any he's ever set before, he expects the rest of the Avengers to object, but to his surprise, they're on board.

Because they need to send a message: If you threaten the world, we'll protect it. If you threaten us, there's no one who can protect you. Steve and the Avengers go on a rampage, destroying the kidnapper's base and rescuing Bucky before his mind can be stolen from him again. And once Steve gets Bucky back in his arms, he promises to take him home for good.

Summary: The plane touches down at the Haneda Airport long after night has fallen outside the airplane windows. Clint leans over and presses his face against the glass as they glide and touch down, watching the sparkling colored lights of Tokyo grow closer and closer. Natasha does not: she has seen cities from the air before. She stares at the back of Clint’s head, instead, at the way his hair is mussed from sleeping in the seat upright.

This trip was his idea, and that means that it’s a test.

“Welcome to Japan, Nat,” Clint says. “Vacay time.”

Everything’s a test.

--

Or, Natasha has been free of the Red Room for two months. Clint decides it's time for her to experience freedom in Japan.

Summary: Steve Rogers has always looked like a member of the heavenly host, while Bucky Barnes is firmly earthbound. Despite being opposites, they’re best friends, two men who love and protect each other at all costs. As far as he’s concerned, Steve’s an angel, but Bucky wrestles with demons every day. At night, he’s haunted. Thankfully, the flutter of wings soothes his soul and keeps him safe.

Summary:

“Did you see that guy?” Steve asks, still a little dazed, and turns to Bucky, who stops parrying the guards’ blows to look at Steve’s face with more attention.

After a second of consideration, Bucky changes his expression to a more familiar exasperation.

“Fuck my life,” he says, stabbing the guard who was attacking him from behind in the belly as an afterthought. “Was he even hot?”

There’s really no need to be that apprehensive about anyone Steve likes.

“He kicked the hangman in the guts,” Steve says with emotion. “And then he flew away.”

Summary:

Steve ran. He ran as fast as he could, as far as the night allowed. He didn’t know if he had been followed or if he would ever be, but he could not take any risks.

He had a mission to complete, and failure was not an option. Who knew what could happen if these bandits captured, or killed him? If he failed?

Only one stone out of place could have severe repercussions. Strange had insisted on that. He had already placed four of them back to their rightful places, but he still needed to hand back the space and soul ones.

Hey there, a Big Bang is actually an event for both writers and artists!!

In a traditional Big Bang, an author will begin writing a fic (usually about 10k words? But each event is different) that an artist will claim. This is done through a selection process called claims. Then they work together to have a story and piece of fanart that coexist to enhance each other!!!

We’re a REVERSE Big Bang, which means we do the opposite. So artists create fanart that we arrange in a selection for authors to claim. Then they write a story to go along with the art (typically shorter than a traditional Big Bang).

They’re called big bangs because everyone in the event posts around the same time so it’s a surge of content for a fandom, hence the name!

We've had so many amazing pieces in this year's Marvel Reverse Big Bang! Here are the next five pieces posted!
