For the guessing game: "blink"
Send me a word and if it’s in my WIP document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence or line it appears in.
You’re in luck, this turns up once each in two different fics. As the previous asker had some words with no sections, I’ll put both in here:
Wanda’s eyes are dark and keen and watch him intently for several long seconds. She does not search his face, search his gaze, to see if he is telling the truth, but she watches him to gauge his certainty. Pietro does not blink.
From My Very Breath, my overly complicated Maximoffs soulmate AU, aand:
Downstairs Hank and Charles are in the kitchen, cradling warm mugs. They barely notice as he puts the kettle on, pulls out the tea caddy and a mug for Wanda, but they do when he pauses long enough to pour himself some juice. Hank’s blink is bleary but his question alert enough.
From the first sequel for An Agony of Seconds.
