Austenitize  {1/14}

Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary: For the past several years, whenever you’d had a hard day, or you needed to calm down, you’d rather cleverly managed to hack into Tony Starks private servers and make notes and amendments on his Iron Man suits. The only Issue is, six months post-Thanos’ defeat, you get a very strange email with a very strange proposition…

A/N: Okay here we are! So this fic starts sorta slow burn, but once we get into it we’ll be good.

Warnings: MAJOR ENDGAME SPOILERS. This fic continues six months after Endgame and keeps that continuity and timeline. won’t be that angsty tho I swear! cussing and sexual themes l8r on ;)

Austenitize

/aus·​ten·​it·​ize | ˈȯstənəˌtīz/

Transitive verb | Metallurgy

1. To heat iron, iron-based metal, or steel to a temperature at which it changes crystal structure from ferrite to austenite, which has a far higher resistance to corrosion.

“Holy shit?!” You lean forward in your chair and squint at your computer screen. Your eyes read the words over and over and yet your brain can’t process them beyond the superficial. You lean back in your chair again.

“Holy shit.” Pulling the glasses from your nose you blink, looking around the lab. It was nearly midnight, you were always the last person home and the first person up in the morning, the Campus Tech Lab basically had become your home the past thirteen or so years. With no one to share your surprise with, ‘not that you could share it anyway’ you think, you close your laptop staring into space for twenty seconds exactly before opening it again.

Yup. Still there.

“Holy shit.”

‘Iron Man — Mark LXXXV’

‘Iron Man — Mark LXXXIV’

‘Iron Man — Mark LXXXIII’

‘Iron Man — Mark LXXXII’

What on earth? The moment you had clicked on the mysteriously titled email, more than a hundred documents had opened up on your computer. Blueprints, pages of notes both typed and handwritten, schematics, more notes. Your jaw fell slack as you clicked through them.

You shut your computer again, your heart pounding in your chest.

What was happening?!

Was this some joke? Some ‘I’ve caught you out now quit it.’ From Stark from beyond the grave? Carefully, you pull your laptop lid open again and close all the documents. The moment you do, they add themselves automatically to a new file on your desktop titled ‘Midnight Snack’. You swallow, before flicking your eyes back to the original email.

Previous 2: He Becomes a Trespasser

Landing on your front stoop once more, you felt thoroughly exhausted and exasperated. You’d used all the energy you had stored for dealing with the living and you weren’t going to need to interact with anyone outside of the Underworld for a year or two at that point. Brunch had been nice, but then dealing with that James? Oh boy, were you spent!

You still couldn’t believe he’d been stupid enough to come down to the Underworld. You’d heard of mortals and younger gods being naive, but that was a whole new level of idiocy. And for what? A simple ruby? 

You heaved a labored sigh and turned to look over your kingdom. You hadn’t gotten the chance to reapply any spells to your father’s cage in your mad dash to save the young prince of spring, and now it was just another thing to do on your list. Gods, that incident had really screwed up your schedule. 

From your spot on the mountain, you could see two figures making a beeline through the Asphodel Meadows from Tartarus: a large dog and a woman. The woman was running frantically, keeping pace with the dog.

It was surprisingly simple to regain the easy companionship between them. The trust just came easily, as if it were ingrained deep within the both of them. And Insight was glad that the two of them could rely on one another. 

There weren’t many that Insight could depend on, especially since Hydra wasn’t an organization known for its reliable and trustworthy members. Backstabbing and betrayal was commonplace in the never ending pursuit of power. And agents of any level were willing to put Insight—a mere tool—in danger for their own personal gain.

But not the Asset. He’d yet to betray Insight, and Insight certainly appreciated that.

So I just got laid off

As some of you may know I am working two jobs right now in order to pay for rent and you know…survive. I just received a text message from my manager that I just got laid off. They’re going to give me my salary next week but that salary wont be able to cover my rent and my bills. So I am now here asking for help. I have to pay rent in advance for two months and with that plus my monthly bills including my internet connection and that’s going to amount to around $400. I only have my one job right now and I really dont know where to turn to. So i’m opening my ko-fi account and I am trying to raise at least 250, (the other half of the payment ill probably just sell some of my stuff here) and I really apologize for this. I just have no idea what to do right now. This is stressing me out so bad and I didn’t want to ask you guys but I really dont have anything else. I’m so sorry. So until I can figure out a way to pay my bills I might put my updates for a while. This just happened so fast I thought I’d have a job until January. I’m really sorry.

If you guys can’t donate please reblog so it might reach someone who can. :(( I’m so sorry.

Previous 1: Her Morning Takes a Turn

The sun was golden against his skin, shining on the tan color he had come to acquire after so many hours out in the light. It beat down on the flesh, warming it and relaxing him. His arms were folded behind his head as he reclined on the grass. It was soft and cool on his skin; Crete always did have the best grass for lying on. His eyes were closed against the bright light, the rays illuminating his eyelids and highlighting the veins that ran through them. His chest rose and fell with even breaths. If one didn’t know any better, they’d say he was asleep.

But he wasn’t. The young god was just lounging about, listening in on the conversation that was being held not five feet away from him.
