#starkquill

um. okay. *taps mic*

he’s a bottom in every ship

i’ll ship tony with every single male…as long as he’s the bottom

and i know you guys agree with me—the man gives off some serious bottom energy ngl

he’s just a short lil’ bisexual who enjoys being dominated

(headcanons for a few ships below the break)

(few of them are a little. um. spicy.)

(you have been warned!)

“Ya know, it’s really creepy that cape of yours cuddles with Tony,” Bucky huffed at Strange.

“Cloak,” the doctor corrected, smirking as he watched his cloak glare at Steve who tried to cozy up on the couch next to the genius, “You’re just jealous that Tony likes me better than you and Rogers.”

The ex-assassin scoffed at that, “Ain’t nothin’ to be jealous of.”

“Beep beep! Outta my way,” Quill interjected, bumping his way pass the other two, “Here ya go StarDust.”

“Aw, thank you Peter,” the genuis smiled, sipping the hot coffee in his hand, humming “Just the way I like it hot.”

Not to be out done by the half-alien, “Do you need me to get you anything, Tony?“

“Unless it’s to allow me back into my lab, no Cap,” Tony gave him a hopeful smile.

It nearly broke the super soldier’s heart when he shook his head at the engineer’s request.

“You know I can’t allow that Tony,” the blonde regretfully told him, “You heard what your doctor and Banner said and you sure as heck know what Miss Pott’s would say if she knew you were trying to sneak off to work.“

Tony pouted at that, frustrated that he’d sidelined by Loki and some Doom bots.

“Hey doll, wanna take a look at my arm?” Bucky called out, purposely bumping the Sorcerer Supreme but paused. Did the cloak just hiss at him?

Just as Bucky was about to take the free spot beside Tony, boxing him in between himself and his best pal, T'challa swooped in.

“Here are the plans that you asked for, Anthony,” the young King offered passing the StarkPad to the brunet, “Shuri asked that you contact her as soon you are able to.”

“Thank her for me.” Tony snorted looking through the tablet, “Is this you?”

Tony turned the screen to the King, Bucky peered over his shoulder watching the younger man’s face morph to humiliation.

The ex assassin caught his friend’s eyes having a silent conversation while the young King grumbled about double checking his sister’s surveillance again.

“Aw, Your Pantherness was this your first time with this tech?” Quill teased, winking at Tony who rolled his eyes at the other man.

The dark man glared at him, “No,” he gritted out, he have to have another word with his younger sister, “It was merely a training accident.”

“Oh sure,” Strange commented from his spot in the living room, “What with you being new to the superhero world it must happen all the time.”

The engineer raised an eyebrow at that. Was it him or was there hostility within the group? Trying to diffuse the situation, “So what’s everybody’s plans for dinner?“

The possibilities are endless.

There doesn’t even have to be an age difference. The plot is just fun enough that you really only need two characters who come from very different lives.

Person A, who’s awkward, socially isolated, and is practically (or is) a virgin.

Person B, who’s the polar opposite—confident, charming, and broke (but has a healthy sex life).

Person A’s parents (or friends) hire Person B to “date” Person A with the promise of a car or money or whatever fits the universe.

The story doesn’t even need to be about sex. Person B can also be hired to be Person A’s friend, in order to help them learn to socialize. :)

Person B falls in love with Person A and along the way, helps Person A gain confidence, etc.

Person A finds out about the deal. Angst ensues. 😱

They break up, make-up, the end! What’s not to like?

“So you carry it around,” Gamora fingered the headset, black plastic creaking under her thumb, “even though you can’t hear it.”

“I’ll be able to.” When I fall in love. The kind of love that meant Mum was left to raise a child by herself for eight years, but kept on hearing music for the rest of her life. Music that made her dance in the kitchen, blare lyrics in the shower, hum softly in the hospital bed. Music and effect that Peter watched with widened eyes, but never heard.

So he carried the Walkman in his pocket, clamped on the headset every day. Hit play and saw the cassette spin, wondering what Come and Get Your Love might sound like.

It was only too bad that he’d hear Highway To Hell first.

A well thought out story, in canon character work, great character development, feel-good heartwreching moments (THE ANGST!), fantastic writing and just about everything else that makes a story absolutely perfect!

StarkQuill (Tony Stark/Peter Quill, Iron Man/Star Lord) is definitely not a popular ship and honestly, I didn't see the appeal of it before I read this fic. I'm more of a Stony/WinterIron person. But if you want to just read a well-written fic with over 100k words and ANGST! and FLUFF! and badassery and genuine character movements etc etc etc, THEN THIS FIC IS FOR YOU.

Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Happy Valentines Day Everyone ❤
