#doppelgangers
Younger versions of them arrive in the future. They fuck. It’s… sweeter than it sounds? No, seriously, I have no idea how those feelings ended up in here.
This fills my “doppelgangers” square for @winterhawkbingo!980 words, explicit.
Clint’s been involved in a fair amount of experimental science mishaps, in his time. It’s an unfortunate side effect of living in close proximity to Tony Stark.
Probably doesn’t help that Clint’s approach to lab safety boils down to “fuck around and find out.”
…but in this case, he has zero regrets. 10/10 would fuck around again.
“Fuck around” is especially relevant in this case: at the moment, he’s watching a younger version of himself ride his boyfriend on their couch, while a younger Bucky starts to squirm and shift next to him.
They make a hell of a picture together.
The couches are perpendicular to each other; they have a perfect view of younger Clint, slim and toned and shaggy-haired, leaning back so as to show off his six-pack. He’s putting on a show, giving Bucky this doe-eyed stare as he arches his back and moans.
Clint maybe had a bit of a slutty phase in his youth; he’s not even a little bit sorry about it. His younger self arrived in painted-on jeans, with purple glitter smeared up his cheekbones, and he was shamelessly throwing himself at Bucky about five seconds after they sorted out the whole “oh, hey, I’m you” situation.
Younger Bucky, on the other hand, is so far in the closet he might as well be in Narnia, because of course he is. He came here from the thirties, after all. He’s never actually been with a guy.
He’s watching like he’s ravenous, blushing furiously and trying to adjust himself in his old-fashioned pants.
Bucky grabs younger Clint’s wrists and tugs him forward for a biting kiss, and then he grips his hips, holding him in place to piston up into him and draw a shredded, desperate groan from his swollen lips.
Next to him, Clint hears the younger Bucky whine, low in his throat, as he presses the heel of his hand between his legs.
“Buck,” older Clint says softly — except both Buckys look at him; the one on the couch doesn’t break his rhythm, just tilts his head back so that his tolerant, amused smile is almost upside-down. He looks between the two of them and jerks his hips in a way that makes the younger Clint shout.
“Carry on,” Clint tells the Bucky on the couch, and turns to the other one. “Can I call you James?”
“Yeah.” His throat bobs as he swallows, and he’s sneaking glances at the other pair — shifting positions, now, so that Clint’s on all fours. They both watch the way Clint’s eyes roll back in his head as Bucky twists metal fingers in his hair, tugging hard, making him arch his back.
“Come here?” Clint asks softly. He feels like he’s approaching a wild animal, trying not to spook James.
Lust seems to be getting the better of his old-fashioned sensibilities, though. He slides closer, staring down at the way Clint’s tenting his sweatpants. And he’s the one who kisses Clint first, two undamaged hands cupping his cheeks, sweet and gentle — so familiar in some ways, alien in others.
Clint smiles as he returns the kiss, resting his palm on James’s chest to feel the way he’s breathing, quick and shuddery.
“Okay?” he asks.
James nods so fast he looks like a bobblehead. His eyes dart to the other couch, then back to Clint’s mouth, clearly torn between watching and kissing.
Clint tugs him into his lap, James’s back to Clint’s chest, so they can watch together. Clint reaches down to touch him, cupping him through stiff fabric, and the kid sounds like he just swallowed his tongue.
“More?” Clint asks.
“God, yes,” James chokes out. He shifts, rubbing against the hard length of Clint’s dick in a way that feels deliberate, and Clint has to grit his teeth to hold back a moan.
Bucky sits back on his heels, tugging the younger Clint along with him so that he’s basically sitting in Bucky’s lap, almost mirroring their pose. He locks eyes with older Clint, shooting him a knowing smirk as he works his hips in deep, grinding circles.
James shudders in Clint’s arms. Clint works his pants open, gets a hand down the front of them, squeezing tight and stroking slowly, just the way Bucky likes. James is rock-hard, thighs shaking, already close to falling apart.
Younger Clint isn’t much better, with his head lolling back on Bucky’s shoulder, nothing showy about it any more — the dizzy, lust-drunk expression is pure and raw and real, and he’s flushed all the way down his chest, freckled skin sheened with sweat.
Bucky curls sleek black metal fingers around his throat, not choking, just holding, gently possessive. It looks just as good as it always feels, and James lets out a shocked little moan.
“So beautiful,” Bucky whispers to the younger Clint, warm and affectionate. “So fuckin’ gorgeous. Love you.”
Clint remembers being that other person – remembers feeling starved for any sort of affection, let alone the complete adoration in Bucky’s voice… but it still takes him by surprise to see the way younger Clint reacts. His face contorts like he’s in pain a split-second before he comes untouched, grabbing onto Bucky’s vibranium forearm to balance as he shakes helplessly through it.
“This is — it’s really okay?” James whispers, and Clint can tell he’s asking about more than the way he’s fucking up into Clint’s fist. His voice is all tangled up, choked with a mess of hope and longing.
If Clint was lonely, he can’t imagine how James must feel. Where he’s from, this sort of love is life-threatening — and Clint remembers what it can be like, hooking up with men who hate themselves for wanting it.
“Yeah, sweetheart,” Clint tells him. “It’s okay, baby, you’re safe. I promise. I’ve got you.”
James lets out a sob, tensing up all over, and Clint strokes him through it, nuzzling the crook of his neck and hugging him close.

NB: this was definitely influenced by Fractured, by @lissadiane, who has reassured me she’s not mad about it. If you enjoyed this, you’ll love that!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3093522/
which involves lost heirs , wicked stepmothers , princesses disguised as pageboys , doppelgangers , deaths real & faked , ghosts , gods , omens & the political chaos in the roman empire following the death of julius caesar as the setting for an intergenerational family drama that involves a significant critique of the patriarchy for its times AND serves as a fixfic for R&J
& possibly MACBETH also
in a ttly chaotically anachronistic mashup of ancient / medieval / then-modern renaissance military & romantic fiction tropes
& the role that vondie curtis-hall is credited w is no mere random roman general
but the ambassador to a roman client state at first – a diplomat yep but NOT the kind who just hands arnd the cucumber sandwiches & foilcovered choclates – & then the leader of the invasion of britain after the client king announces that augustus is no julius & their old bargain is over
& a man who proves himself more decent & noble than the british nobles time & time again STANDS UP FOR THE IDEALS OF THE GENEVA CONVENTION CENTURIES B4 IT EXISTED
& who in the course of the multithreaded plot complications discovers the disguised princess in a desperate situation
thinks her a mere humble serving boy of no rank or importance
yet ! !
treats her kindly & takes her under his protection
telling her to think of him as a father
not as a boss
YEAH THIS
( oh & praises her work ethic skills & diligence to the skies later )
also HE HELPS SAVE THE DAY & BRING ABT PEACE BTWN THE REALMS AGN BY HAVING A RELIABLE SEER ON STAFF
who sorts out all the remaining mysteries to bring a happy ending
MYSTICAL EAGLES FIGURE PROMINENTLY IN THE TALE
also a highly symbolic RING as token of a faith / not / betrayed after all
its the SAME STORY & the shakespearean community is telling it hand-in-velvet-glove w that part of the fantasy-horror community that belongs to the resistance & not the wall –FYI there is a lot of grue in CYMBELINE i warn everyone , lots of violence BOTH threatened & accomplished , VERY winterfell in feel
only w less actual rape & way more female empowerment both good & evil , since imogen WHO IS BEING PLAYED BY ANASTASIA STEELE ASDFJKL; ! ! is the one who steps forward out of her fears to SAVE EVERYONE in the end , the catalyst whose choice to reveal herself is the key to unlocking all the mysteries & bringing a joyful peace in place of war
& the wicked stepmother has her own complications beyond being a fairy tale caricature UTTERLY EVIL BUT ALSO CAPABLE OF HONESTY & BETTER CHOICES
& above all else its MUCH ADO ABT NOTHING fixfic
bc shakespeare doesnt just tackle the disappointing fizzle of MACBETHs WICKED QUEEN PLOTTING THE RUIN OF POLITICAL RIVALS FOR HER OWN DYNASTIC AIMS plot , or the spectacularly chaotic disaster of overcomplicated plots & missed connections = lovers dying in R&J – & yes clark-hall was in the 1996 ROMEO + JULIET too –
but the whole DUDE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE A ROMANTIC HERO DOUBTS HIS GIRLFRIENDS FAITHFULNESS & DUMPS HER BRUTALLY & ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY ENDING WHEN HE TAKES HER BACK AFTER HE THINKS SHES DEAD & FEELS BAD which leaves such a bad taste in MUCH ADO bc claudio is just SUCH A JERK that nothing he does can make up for how he treated hero
welp
the untrusting lover in the much later story CYMBELINE has to be put thru the wringer
over & over & over again
humiliation conga before he can be worthy of his princess agn
& we see him agonize & beat himself up & suffer not just outwardly but go thru EVERYTHING HE DID WRONG & WHY HE WAS TTLY OUT OF LINE EVEN IF SHE DID CHEAT ON HIM W HIS EX BEST FRIEND HE WAS STILL THE BAD GUY IN THE SITUATION BC VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE RIGHT RESPONSE TO SEXUAL JEALOUSY which is way more feminist than a shitload of modern romances / action movies & our whole culture even today which shrugs it off as “man driven to anhiliating violence bc his ex is w someone else now”
there was a damn good reason max martini stepped up to be a spear-carrier in FIFTY SHADES OF GOR & it was the same good reason charlie hunnam threw himself on that 1st
tis a very tangled chain & long
but all the links connected
SO HOPING IT WINS A SILVER LION @ THE END OF THIS MONTH – I WANT IT TO GET WIDER RELEASE bc its one of the entries at the venice film festival where it debuts
Doppelganger
One of the creepiest phenomenon’s on the planet is that of Doppelgangers. A Doppelganger is an exact double of a person. Some call it an evil twin. It is also known in Irish folklore as a Fetch. It is generally thought that seeing a Doppelganger is an omen of bad luck.
For example, in 1617 John Donne, a famous poet, saw the Doppelganger of his wife while she was away having a baby Only later he found out she had given birth to a still born child.
Other famous examples include Catherine the Great. One evening while she was lying in her bed, a number of servants came in and frantically told her they had just seen her walking into the throne room. Not long after she suffered a stroke, which eventually killed her a couple days later.
Elizabeth I had a similar experience. She went into her chambers one night only to find herself already lying in bed. This double appeared deathly ill. Only a few days later Elizabeth herself died.
Finally, Abraham Lincoln described an experience in which he went to look at himself in the mirror, only to find a Doppelganger looking back at him. Purportedly the image looking back at him did not match up to his own reflection. It looked pale and sickly. When he told his wife about it, she claimed it meant he was going to be elected for a second term in office, but would not live to see the end of it. She was right.

Resemblance
Is it just me or Officer Lowe and Dark MC strikingly look alike ?
