Yet Something Made Him See You And Go, 'Yes, Give Me The One Who Falls Off Of Things And Walks Into Walls.

Yet something made him see you and go, 'Yes, give me the one who falls off of things and walks into walls’.

How can you not fall in love with a fic which contains a line like that! 

quixotic | Poe Dameron x Reader

A/N: Ah, hopefully this is as cute as I attempted to make it! Quixotic means exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical. It seemed fitting for such a sweet thing!

Rating: T.

Warning: Falling. Drunkenness. Sexual references. Brief, vague mention of the Star Wars equivalent of a spider if that exists?

Word count: 2,454 is what I’m getting so!

Prompt: “Is this a habit of yours? Falling off of stuff?”

“Only when you’re there to catch me.” (as requested by an anon from this list of Disney prompts)

You were sure you would never forget the first time you had an actual interaction with Poe outside of commands and polite acknowledgement of each other’s existence.

It was equal parts embarrassing and sweet. And a little romantic, though you weren’t going to say that out loud.

You had just gotten back from a mission, climbing out of your ship, helmet off and tucked under your arm, moving towards the ladder. What you hadn’t realized was that you had brought back part of some slimy plant from a planet on the bottom of your boot, which caused you to slip and go flailing towards the floor.

Your helmet clattered to the cement and you closed your eyes in preparation to do the same thing. How many bruises were you going to get from this? Enough to make flying to your next mission very painful, you were sure.

However, rather than feeling the hard ground against your all-too-human body, you felt something that must have been a person’s arms.

“You that excited to see me? It hasn’t been that long since we left the planet.”

Fluffy and funny and just makes you feel good!!

Secret Santa / Day One (12 Days of Avengers Christmas)

I had a LOT of ideas about CHristmas things so I decided to just write a bunch of them and flood you guys with cuteness to make up for the fact that I haven’t been doing anything!! <3

Here’s a list of head cannon-y things from Secret Santa!!

~~~ 

Secret Santa was…. intense for the Avengers. 

~ First things first is the insane list of rules that accompanied the game. In total there’s about 78 that have been made over the years, but here’s just a few of them…

1. NO TRADING (even if Tony tries to pay you)

2. NO telling the person who you have (Thor, if you need help with ideas refer to the Secret Santa Chart)

3. No telling other people who you have (let’s be real, we’re all a bunch of gossips and it will get out)

4. Limit of $250 (Tony this mostly applies to you… like most of these rules)

5. No re-gifting (Loki)

26. No opening gifts until everyone is there

44. Gifts are to be opened in a counter clockwise order starting with whoever is closest to the random remote we still don’t know the function of but is still in the living room for who knows why

78. No giving gifts that you have stolen from the SHIELD evidence locker (pretty much everybody)

~ At the end of the very long document is everyone’s signature, and Tony even got it notarized as a legal document. 

~ In addition to the list of rules is the “Secret Santa Chart”, referred to in Rule No. 2, which has every team member’s list of fav’s (color, animal, place, food, etc), along with every gift they have ever been given in an Avenger’s Secret Santa. It took a while to make, but it is extremely helpful. 

~ Each year is themed.. One year it was dinosaurs, one year it was music, once it was food. You all take turns choosing the year’s theme (and it cannot have a majority of veto’s, but that’s never happened… although it did get close when Tony made the theme cars one year.)

~ Names are put into the sacred Santa hat and are picked in order of when you joined the team (this is taken very seriously, and Bucky once couldn’t draw a name for three weeks because you were away on a mission)

~ That wasn’t too big of an issue because you draw names super early… September 1st actually. 

~ Everyone’s favorite person to draw is Thor because he’s happy with literally anything. (He once got a VHS from Vision and was so happy his shouts of excitement made everyone just a little deaf… the VHS was Jimmy Neutron)

~ Everyone’s least favorite person to buy for is Tony. Mostly because he already has everything, but also because he’ll get drunk at New Years then get super sentimental and cry in gratitude about whatever you got him. 

~ Some of the best Secret Santa memories include…

- The year Loki replaced everyone’s name with his own and so everyone had to get him a present…. Everyone ended up getting him the same present. It was a snow globe of NYC. He acted mad but he actually has them all sitting on a shelf in his room. 

- When the theme was cars Tony drew your name. He basically made a slightly larger version of those electric cars they make for children. You got to drive the car around the entire Tower (he made it so it fit in the elevator). You had it until Clint and Sam got really drunk and “borrowed” it to drive to the nearest fast food place

- One year Thor forgot to get Bruce a gift. Bruce was fine with it because he actually drew Thor’s name and just kept the gift. It was a four section toaster. Thor was pretty upset. 

- Steve always makes (the best) DIY gifts. He knit Natasha a sweater, drew Pietro a beautiful landscape of Sokovia, and made Clint a teddy bear out of his kids outgrown clothing. 

- When the year was dinosaurs Tony bought Steve a mirror. Natasha pulled some strings and got Peter a walk on part in Jurassic World. 

- Sam gave T’Challa a cat one year. The theme was supposed to be music but no one complained about it. 

- Stephen gave Bruce the gift of taking him to alternate universe where the Hulk didn’t exist. Bruce realized how much the world needed the other guy, and how much he needed his teammates. Its the first time he felt truly at peace about the Other Guy. 

- Every year Bucky gets Fury. Every year Fury gets a new eye patch. They’re decorated. Some say things like “POW!” in comic book style One of them is decorated like Captain America’s shield. There’s on that lights up. But Bucky’s personal favorite is the one that is painted to look like an eye that makes everyone do a double take. Fury’s favorite is the one that’s completely pink. He wears it on Wednesdays. 

- One year the theme was homemade and Steve made Tony one of those cheesy coupon books, but instead of chores or favors Steve was willing to do it was filled with different jokes he would allow Tony to make about him…. Tony went through the entire coupon book in two hours. 

~ Overall Secret Santa is just a fun time to come together and be a family. Each new addition may be a little confused at first but they catch on pretty quick

Here it is! The first day of the 12 Days of Avengers Christmas!! I hope y’all liked it! I had a fun time writing it and can’t wait to write more about these cuties enjoying the holiday season!(:

I won’t be around on Tumblr until midday Friday in an attempt to prevent *Avengers: Infinity War* from being spoiled (either accidentally or intentionally). Tumblr spoiled White Wolf for me a few months ago and I don’t want to have it happen again. 

I will try and stay up on my direct messages on here -- I should be able to avoid spoilers to do so, but if you want to be 100% certain to get ahold of me on my AO3 account: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Cathain_Baldwin/profile

See you in about 35 hours!

Shout Out Sunday - Week 2:

I had a hard time deciding which imaginary boyfriend to indulge myself in this weekend. Poe? Bucky? Steve Rogers? In the end I figured screw it and dove into the GIGANTIC library that is @propertyofpoeandbucky‘s masterlists!

First, let me say I’m bias here (though I am for everyone that has been/will be featured here cuz they’re all amazing). @propertyofpoeandbucky never fails to perk up a bad day for me. First of all, the freaking tagline on her account: you cannot escape de poe always leaves me in stitches and with Oscar Issac’s voice in my head - what a freaking way to start! Second she is basically the queen of AUs, as such she manages to cover most of my favorite tropes with my favorite boys. 

I can’t even begin to name a favorite because I’ll feel as though I’ll be betraying her other work, but for those curious I’m going to have say for Poe:  

Dare you not to grin AU: Pour Some Sugar On Me

Holy sexy hell AU: Fashion Baby

Heartstrings tug AU: Bring Her Back*

*Note that I’ve begged for a follow up on this one and it hasn’t happened, but the begging shall continue!

For Bucky:

Dare you not to love this one: The Princess Project (Mini-Series)

All the angst: Match Made in Heaven

*happy sigh*: Will You?

For Steve:

All the fluff AU: You and Me Together (Mini-Series)

She also has a ton of other characters and fandoms she writes for, kinda a one stop shop here and I adore her for it <3
