I’ve never been a mcu needs to copy comics exactly person but I need the Wanda and Darcy friendship to happen in the mcu. Not only does Wanda need a bestie but I need more Kat Dennings Darcy after Wandavision

@theirmadness // brian asked: i happen to love long stories. are you busy tomorrow night?

OH!

Let's see if she can let him down easy, here.

"You know, I don't usually get off the compound. Especially, you know, especially not at night. I work a lot of overnight shifts." She's explaining too much. She sounds too frantic. Get a grip, Darcy!

"I'm sure Erik appreciates that you came, but this should remain strictly professional."

[vitalphenomena]

OPEN.

"You know how some people just get on your nerves?"

@l-ivestudioaudience // egon asked for: egon exhaling sharply through their nose and clenching their jaw in front of darcy.

AS SOON AS EGON ENTERS THE APARTMENT, DARCY IS UP FROM THE COUCH, EXCITED LIKE A PUPPY.

She does not expect to be met with such...frigidity.

"—Egon?"

Darcy approaches delicately. She knows how certain men look like when they are about to explode—knows intimately the contours of their explosions, too. But Egon is not one of those men.

His restraint has always been admirable—perhaps necessary for Darcy to let her guard down the way that she has.

She formally enters the kitchen and watches Egon set down his bags from the grocery store.

"Is something wrong?" Before he can answer: "If something is wrong, just say."

@l-ivestudioaudience // egon said: i am feeling uncharitable towards you.

IT'S THE MOST CALMLY ANYONE HAS EVER SAID THEY'RE UPSET WITH HER IN A LONG, LONG TIME.

Darcy regards Egon warily, waiting for a but, waiting for a blow up.

But Egon is not her former boss, Erik Eriksson, though they both have names that start with E and have two syllables, which is crazy and funny. Egon is his own man. Egon is levelheaded, and he is good to her. He is an ideal partner.

And right now, Darcy is not.

"I wasn't keeping this from you on purpose," she insists. She sounds flimsy and weak, especially compared to how he carries himself. "It never came up organically, and what would you have had me do?"

IS IT REALLY PRACTICAL, EGON? Is it really?

Darcy thinks otherwise. Egon's explanation is paper-thin, fallible under the lowest levels of scrutiny.

She doesn't like that he knows where she lives. She doesn't like, ultimately, that she was foolish enough to tell him so much information about herself—allowing him to figure out where she lives.

"Okay."

Fuck, it's so hard to be an asshole, though. Has Egon ever asked for help once in his entire life—especially from a peer?

"I was reading something, but it's not—it's no big deal." Everything always kind of seems like a big deal.

"Maybe you can help me."

"You were smart to pack a lunch. The cafeteria is shit. We've been complaining to Dr. Hayes for months."

"Portals! Right, right." Darcy, an ardent and avid believer in dimensions beyond our present earthly perceptions, gets excited by this concept and nods emphatically. (It is the only positive reaction Blair has received thus far; Darcy is very on edge and cautious.) Then again, it really just may be that the reflection of Blair's appearance in murky glass looks weird and off-putting to them. Darcy quells her excitement.

"The phenomenon of light can be—complicated. Intense. Difficult to understand. Especially when you consider the electrons, atoms, and molecules that make up an ordinary glass surface, getting all of that involved in how we interact with electromagnetic fields—sorry. Sorry. That's probably the last thing you want explained to you."
