March AU Madness 03

This isn’t so much of an AU as it is a prompt, but whatever, I love board games, fight me.

monopoly au (x)

“Bucky. Bucky. Bucky!” The back of Tony’s hand connects with Bucky’s shoulder as he shouts the soldier’s name for the third time.

“What.” Bucky still doesn’t look up from his phone and Tony groans in frustration, throwing up his hands and storming off to get more coffee.

“It’s your turn.” Bruce fills in.

“You guys are still playing monopoly? I thought Stark won, like, an hour ago.” Sam walks past the dining room table on his way to the kitchen. His question is answered with a collection of grumbles and he keeps walking to rummage in the pantry.

“Can’t we just give the win to Tony?” Steve says, “I mean, he owns half the board anyway.”

“Why I never!” Tony’s returned, the hand not holding his coffee mug is clutching at the reactor. “Captain America, a quitter? Not in my house he’s not.”

“Natasha was smart to throw the game…” Bruce mutters, wincing when he catches Tony’s attention.

“She what now? It’s not a real win if I didn’t earn it!”

Sam follows Tony from the kitchen, bag of Cheetos in hand instead of coffee, and sits in the seat that had been his when they had started the game. “I’m surprised something this stressful hasn’t brought out Big and Green.” He gives Bruce a playful nudge.

“I’m not exactly very competitive about this.”

“Not competitive my ass!” Clint shouts from across the table. “If you had traded me Atlantic Avenue, we wouldn’t be in this mess!”

Bruce shrugs, but his sly smile gives away his true feelings about the game. “You didn’t have anything I wanted.”

“Come on, Buck,” Tony tries to hand Bucky the dice, “Monopoly was a thing back in your day, I thought you and Steve would like this pick for game night.”

“Yeah, it was a thing back in our day.” Without looking away from his StarkPhone, Bucky takes the dice in a single hand, dropping them in a half-assed roll over the board. “And it was fun until you showed me what Mario Kart was. Now it’s boring.”

“You landed on Park Place, Buck.” Steve sounds jealous as he moves the tiny cannon piece.

Suddenly, the phone is down and Bucky is up. “Yes! I don’t have money for that hotel shit. Here ya go, Tony.” He slides his remaining properties to Tony and makes a break for the elevator, throwing up a peace sign with his metal hand. “See ya losers!”

“You’re the loser!” Tony shouts back, but the elevator doors close. “Because he… lost.” He looks back at the rest of the table, the remaining Avengers in various states of exasperated. Except Sam, the only one still here by choice, looking unfairly amused. “Do you guys really want to quit that bad?”

“Yes.” Steve, Clint, and Bruce chorus.

“Fine.” Tony waves a hand and Clint’s off into the vents before anyone else can even get up. Soon after, Tony can hear Bruce making tea in the kitchen. The dejected billionaire slumps forward, resting his cheek on his crossed arms over the board.

Steve stands and gives Tony an awkward pat on the shoulder. “If it makes you feel better, you get choose next week’s game. Since, you know, you won.”

“It’s not a real win.” Tony grumbles and Sam laughs.

“Oh man, if they can’t handle Monopoly, how are we ever going to get them into Catan?”

March AU Madness 01

So I figured for the month of March, I’ll try to do a flash fill of an AU every day. Let me know what you think and if you have a request for an AU, let me know! Obviously, my fandom of choice is Avengers, but if you want a different pairing or a different fandom, I can probably do that too. Anyway, here’s day 1, maybe it sucks, maybe it doesn’t, hope you enjoy! Credit for the AU idea can be found by clicking on the prompt!

ONE NIGHT STAND BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF YOUR NEW JOB AND OOPS THAT WAS YOUR NEW BOSS YOU WERE SLEEPING WITH AU

“Why the rush, handsome?” Tony rolled across the sheets, half awake but conscious enough to hear his bedmate leaving.

“Look, uh,” The blond faltered, and Tony just gave a wave of his hand. If he didn’t remember names from last night, and he was a genius, he didn’t mind his short-term partner forgetting as well. “Last night was great and all, but I gotta get to work. First day and all.” The slide of an accent made Tony want to kiss this stranger all over again, but a glance at the clock showed he should probably head to the office too.

“Knock ‘em dead.”

It was only after the door closed that Tony wished that, even if they didn’t exchange names, they could have at least exchanged numbers.

“Mr. Stark, you’re late.” Pepper’s heels click along the tile as she keeps pace with Tony. He sips his coffee with a smile and a shrug.

“The boss is never late, everyone else is just early.”

“Well your new assistant has been waiting for a half hour, but I guess I shouldn’t complain he’s survived longer than the last one.” She pushes open the door to Tony’s office, dropping her stack of papers in the lap of a young man sitting in front of Tony’s desk.

“Ah, thank you Ms. Potts.” The man says and oh, that accent sounds familiar. He scrambles to organize the papers, not noticing his new boss sit at the lavish seat on the other side of the desk. “Mr. Stark, I promise you, I’ll be your best assistant yet.” The man holds out a hand before making eye contact. When recognition hits him, the look is so damn adorable, Tony almost feels bad for his own predatory smirk.

“You- you’re- Mr. Stark?” Tall Blond and Handsome manages to squeak out. Pepper sighs.

“At least give him a chance, Tony. I really don’t want to do another week of interviews.”

Tony finally takes the offered hand, gaze not leaving his stunned new assistant. “Don’t worry, Ms. Potts. After what I saw of him, this man can last a while with me.”
