in case you don’t know this is set up in the same universe as my Should’ve Known series if you want to check it out before reading further the links are right under this paragraph.
You don’t quite remember waking up, you just remember feeling warm and hearing your wifes soft breathing next to you and the sounds of rain outside.
You opened your eyes and the first thing you saw was the rain gently decending on your window.
It was peaceful, you looked at the clock and saw it was only eight in the morning. You know you probably would’ve gotten up sooner had it not been for the twins being away at Nick’s for the weekend which was a small blessing. You rarely had moments like theses with Wanda, where there wasn’t any particular rush or set schedule for the day. It was sunday and sundays was usually a break day for everyone. Wanda didn’t go studying and you guys can spend the day together doing whatever.
You gently turn only to see your wife still sleeping. Moments like these were even rarer. Wanda usually is the first one up in the mornings, however, when she sleeps she sleeps like an angel. Her features were peaceful, which once again was rare but was becoming more common now that you guys had no more battles to fight.
Those days were finally over and this was your reward.
You gently kiss her forehead, hoping not to wake her and you carefully unwound the sheets from yourself. Your feet pad gently to the kitchen where you began breakfast.
You put the kettle on to boil while you got the tea packets ready and got to making breakfast. You remember this Sokovian breakfast that Wanda taught you and decided to make it. It was a relatively simple recipe, it was essentially pancakes just a little thicker than a crepe.
—
Wanda woke up to the smell of fluffy pancakes in the air. the warm and sweet scent reminded her of mornings when she and Pietro were young. Either her mother or father in the kitchen cooking pancakes before her father had to go to work and the rest of the day began.
Wanda opened her eyes to the other half of her bed empty, but the smell of pancakes and the faint sound of old music told her where you were.
She stretched sleep from her limbs with a groan and silently made her way to you.
Once Wanda reached you she simply stood by the doorway, watching while you swayed your hips and sing a long to the music in a languid way. It was off key and it was beautiful at the same time, because it was you. You could make even the trash look beautiful if you were holding it to her. If she could, Wanda would forever capture this moment with you and keep it with her always.
Wanda was more than content with watching you from afar but the pancakes you were making lured her further in and forced her from her spot at the doorway.
“good morning Солнечный свет,” Wanda greeted with a kiss to your cheek. “it smells good, how can I help?”
“I’m almost done here, why don’t you set the table.” You said as you pecked her lips. Concentrating mostly on not burning the pancakes. Wanda did as you had asked and set the table for the both of you.
By the time Wanda had set the table you were done cooking and were plating the pancakes and pouring the tea into their respective cups.
—
“What time is Nick bringing the kids?” Wanda asked as she stuffs another mouthful and delicious fluffy pancakes into her mouth.
“Originally it was today but I got a call earlier before you woke up,” You said as you take another bite, “but the twins want to visit smithsonian with Nick, so they’re staying another day. Strange will portal them here early tomorrow.”
“So that just leaves us another day then,” Wanda said quirking her eyebrow, “all alone.” You winked in response and laughed slightly.
Yes just another day alone with one another.
—
It was one of those days where you just let Wanda magic all the dishes clean and away along with the mess you had made making the breakfast.
You and her had been so busy the past weekend, you loved the twins with every fiber of your being. You would die for them. But you really couldn’t get much cleaning done when they were here, because once you got one area clean, the kids would come in like a tsunami and suddenly the coffee table is sticky and all the toys were out.
So when Nick called you and said he wanted the weekend with his grandkids you didn’t have any quarrel with it. You knew besides you and Wanda, Nick loved those kids and would do anything for them.
The past two days were spent cleaning, manually. Wanda was originally just magic all the mess and clutter away, but you somehow convinced her that doing it manually was much more rewarding.
However, after cleaning and reorganizing everything, now you want nothing more than to sit on the couch with Wanda and watch whatever, not having to get up to even do dishes.
And that’s exactly what you did.
You made popcorn and you and Wanda watched most of the movies you watched when the kids were asleep at night along with binge watching a few episodes from various sitcoms.
At some point there was just silence, you and Wanda just watched the rain and were content to just be together.
Sometimes you sit back and you just admire how far both you and Wanda have come. From living at the compound, getting called away for missions where you never knew what was going to happen, always sacrificing the people and things that matter most to you for the greater good, being so powerful and yet to powerless when it really counted.
You loved your life, you loved your kids and your wife.
You’ll treasure it and hold onto it for as long as you could.
Saturday Night Fun (Should’ve Known Oneshot series)
A/N: Hey so this chapter gets a little heated. Also I’m so sorry for not posting in MONTHS! I recently just got done with college and there are still a lot of things I still need to do. I am hopefully going to see M.O.M tomorrow so NO SPOILERS FOR M.O.M In comments please!
Summary: Nick watches the twins while you and Wanda deal with an old friend. (by popular demand this is the oneshot where you and Wanda confront Bucky for being a damn snitch.)
“Alright Nick looks like we have everything,” You said after double checking to make sure your phone was charged and you had your wallet in your purse, “You sure you’ll be alright with the twins until we get back?”
“Do I look like an amature to you (L/n)?” Nick asks with his arms crossed, to anyone else the eyepatched man would be intimidating, however you’ve grown used to his intensity.
“It’s Maximoff now!” Wanda called, she took a little longer than you in the bathroom but you didn’t mind. She looked beautiful to you regardless.
“You still haven’t asked for my blessing!” Nick retorted.
“We should be back around three or four,” You ignored the banter between your wife and your only father figure, “if you need anything don’t hesitate to call. The twins are already down for the night but they should be good. There’s leftovers in the fridge in case you feel hungry or anything, the wifi password is-”
“You worry too much, has anyone ever told you that?”
“Once or twice.” you respond sheepishly. Nick gave you a firm squeeze on your shoulder, the closest thing the feared director of SHIELD Nick Fury gives to a hug.
“Everything will be fine,” Nick reassured, “and don’t be shy and get you and Wanda a room if you’re feeling tired after your night of fun.” Nick lets go of your shoulder.
“Are you sure Nick?”
“I’m certain,” Nick says firmly.
“Alright,” Wanda says coming out of the hallway, her scarlet hair curled and she wears a black dress with a red leather coat. Black lined her eyes and a nude lip, as she was busy grabbing her purse you were mentally fist bumping whatever god gave you the hottest fucking woman you’ve ever seen as your wife. “We should get going if we want to make our reservation.” As if noticing you for the first time Wanda does exactly the same thing in her mind, your hair was styled and goddamn your ass looked fine in those pants.
“Stop gawking at each other and go already,” Nick impatiently said, “you’ve got reservations to keep.”
“You just want us gone so you can watch the bachelorette.” You sassed.
“It’s the season finale and I refuse to be kept in suspense for longer.” Nick defended. You link your hand with Wanda and go towards the door together.
“Oh and ladies,” Nick called as you were leaving, you both stopped to look at him, “try to play nice, I would hate to apologize to the Princess of Wakanda for ruining her handiwork.”
“I don’t make promises I don’t intend to keep.” You said before finally saying goodbye and going off in the night with Wanda by your side.

“Is the reservation ready?” You ask Wanda, the lights of brooklyn illuminating her in its glow.
“Seems so,” Wanda says, pointing to the lone silhouette in the diner across the street. You both look at each other in a comfortable silence. You made your way across the street and into the diner. It was run down and you silently thanked it was a slow night in this diner in brooklyn. The only ones there were the cook, waitress, and the man in the booth whose back was to you and Wanda. You gave Wanda a look and with a wave of her hand the everyone in the diner froze in place. Everyone except you and the man in the booth. You and your wife made your way to him. And without him having to look behind him he says.
“I was wondering when you were going to show up.”
“But you knew we would,” Wanda said, ushering you into the seat across from the dark haired man. The fluorescent lights glinted off of his artificial arm. His blue eyes glanced at the frozen staff.
“I would offer to buy you ladies a drink but I don’t think the waitress is taking any orders.” Bucky said, taking a sip from the glass at the table. A moment of silence passed, tension thick and sharp as knives, you and Wanda did not hide the animosity in your glares.
“Before we get started,” You said leaning forward, “do you have anything to say in your defense?”
“Like what?”
“Like why you did it,” You said, “why you betrayed my trust and not only kept me in the dark but also put my family’s safety on the line.”
“He had the right to know-”
“You should have told me.” You interrupted, “you should have discussed it with me. Instead of pussy footing around-”
“That’s not very lady-like language-” Before he could antagonize you further you reached over the table and slammed his head down on the table. Careful not to cause more than a broken nose. Bucky grunted in pain before holding his nose and without hesitation with a sickening crack, realigned his nose. You leaned across the table again, the heat of your glare scalding the winter soldier before you.
“Anything else smart to say.” you dared, he looked as though he was about to say something but one look to the redhead beside you and he thought otherwise.
“You betrayed me,” You said, “You betrayed us.” You motion to your wife beside you. “And I think I know why.”
“Enlighten me,” Bucky said, a hint of aggression in his tone and something else you knew all too well.
Fear.
“You love Steve, you always have.” you start, “I know it broke your heart as well as mine when he left for Peggy all those years ago.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about-”
“Yes I do,” you interrupt, “I think I’m one of the only people who knows.” Bucky sighed and looked at his hands.
“You were pissed off,” you continue, “it felt like the world had stopped spinning, there was too much noise, and yet you never felt so alone.” Your eyes never left his large frame, which now had seemingly shrunk. “Now you had memories and dreams of someone who was no longer there. And there was a hole, a hole that no matter how much you tried to fill it with someone or something… it would never be complete without him.” You take a breath and take your wife’s hand, it was smaller than yours, softer as well.
“But he didn’t stay with Peggy-”
“No he didn’t,” you said, “but I think, maybe, that pissed you off even more.”
“Why would I be more pissed off at that?” He gruffed.
“Multiple reasons.”
“Enlighten me then sweetheart.” He whispered, anyone else would shake at the look he was giving you. However, you’ve faced worse.
“You were pissed off because it showed that he was willing to leave you behind for someone else,” You said your eyes matching his, “you were pissed off that even though he came back he wasn’t going to stay,” his eyes narrow, “but I think what pissed you off more…” You paused, unsure whether or not you should go that far.
“What sweetheart,” he snarled, “you think you know me so well, tell me what pissed me off more.”
“What pissed you off more,” You started, “was that he didn’t come back for you.”
As though he was just stabbed, Bucky’s frame flinched and tensed. The truth was as plain as day on his face.
You were rarely wrong on such matters.
“So you did what you could do,” you continued, “you lashed out on the person he came back for.” His shoulders still tense as his eyes refused to meet your gaze again, “Instead of telling me, you decided to make my life hell by keeping the ghost of him around with the justification of giving me ‘puzzle pieces to put together’ as though I was in the right state of mind to do that.” You continued not caring about the 6 foot soldier curling in on himself, “and when that didn’t work out, you took all that energy and directed it to everyone else around you.” You motioned Wanda to lift Bucky’s head up, red swirled around her fingertips as Bucky’s face was suddenly brought back to focus on yours. “And you know what I think pissed you off the most out of all these reasons?” There was a pause, “Was that I had moved on, while you were stuck in the past.” And with that you landed the final blow. You nod at Wanda letting her know to drop her spell. With a wave of her hand the diner returned to its previous bustle. Just as you were about to leave the dark haired man alone you stopped.
“I understand why you did what you did,” you said, “Even if I’m wrong I understand…I would forgive you if it was just me you fucked over… But it wasn’t. You completely turned my kids life upside down, and you made my wife terrified. I’m thankful that Steve understood and we reached an amicable arrangement, but it had all the potential to not be so. In that regard you are lucky, because if you thought that this talk was bad, there would be no telling what I would do to you if that wasn’t the case. You didn’t just fuck me over when you did that, you put my family through hell. And for that, I will never forgive you.”
And with that you and Wanda walked hand in hand out of that diner, together, ready to put the past behind you once more.
This year might have been one of my favorite years of Marvel content.
3 of my new favorite MCU projects came out (WandaVision, Black Widow, and Spiderman No Way Home), as well as so many other amazing projects that built on the MCU.
We were introduced to some amazing new characters like Kate Bishop and Yelena, and got content that built upon characters that we have loved for years but hadn’t gotten to see in leading roles yet (Bucky, Sam, Hawkeye, Loki, etc.).
One of the best years for the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
ok so - if post-endgame (I’m not sure what is what phase) is following the same structure as last time, so maybe another 10 odd years we’re too early to arrive at the big bads right? obviously now that we’re deeper into the cinematic universe there’ll be bigger bads but I don’t see how we’re gonna be introduced to what thanos was for the OGs so soon? this is why I feel the kree or Kang might not be thanos level threats, so, hear me out
so the reason I’m such a Marvel fanatic is because of my Dad and we watched the trailer together today and HE SPOTTED HOW STRANGE HAS GOTTEN HOLD OF THE DARKHOLD AND IS TRYING TO PRACTICE CHAOS MAGIC AND DREW THE PARALLELS BETWEEN THE LAST SCENE OF WANDAVISION AND THIS SCENE IN THE TRAILER AND I HAD TO SHARE IT WITH YOU GUYS
The Scarlet Witch in her glory at the end of WandaVision finally gave us an MCU costume that had her original look and feel. I had to draw this version and only the amazingly talented colors by Ihor Loboda could do her justice!
