Can someone, anyone tell me why there hasn’t been a fic written for Pietro where reader was their childhood friend and Pietro treats her like super sweetly. Everyone around knows he and she love each other even wanda sees it, but both reader and Pietro don’t see it. But when they get involved with hydra she is with them, really she’s with both of them though everything.
I have a whole fic like this planned and I have specifics that I have for it, but I unfortunately can NOT write it right now due to having to many WIPs so maybe one day, but like it be super cute to read P being sweet on her since they were young. It would also be super funny to see Wanda being like “oh my goodness you two are the dumbest people I know. I love you both so much… but like you’re the absolute dumbest two I’ve ever met… 🙄” 😂
Two people: Pietro Maximoff, with the ability to go faster than time, and you, with the power to slow it down. One person: Wanda Maximoff, doing her best to push the two of you together.
masterlist
You love missions with the Avengers. You’ve never felt the same pure rush of adrenaline anywhere else as when you’re fighting for your life. All the same, for some reason during this battle in particular you can’t shake the feeling that there’s something you ought to be doing, someone you ought to be finding. It’s a little distracting, but you can’t pay it any mind. What matters most now is surviving and winning the fight.
After things cool down again, you realize you know the source of your intrusive thoughts. It’s not a what but a who, and that who is currently walking towards you: Wanda Maximoff. You raise an eyebrow when she finally catches up to you.
“I thought the mind reading policy was that you weren’t supposed to distract us during missions.”
Wanda rolls her eyes. “It wasn’t that bad. Anyways, it was for an important reason. You’re supposed to be meeting my brother, remember?”
Oh, right. Her brother, Pietro Maximoff.
You do your best to casually look around for an escape opportunity, but it’s too late- the white-haired speedster has already appeared out of nowhere at your side. He glances between you and Wanda, then flashes you a grin.
“You must be Y/N. I hear Wanda’s been dying for us to meet.”
You can’t help a quiet laugh at that. “I’ve heard the same thing.”
Wanda makes a face at you, but she can’t stay mad for long. “If we’re good friends, then you’ll be good friends. Sue me for wanting you to be happy.”
Pietro laughs in earnest now. “Oh come on, Wanda, don’t be upset. We’re only teasing, right?”
He cuts you a quick glance under raised brows, and his lips curl victoriously when you nod in agreement. “See, we’re doing great already. What’s your power again? Just so I can keep things straight.”
Pietro changes the subject almost as quickly as he runs. You open your mouth to respond, but Wanda interrupts you hastily.
“Actually, I think it’s best if we have a demonstration, you know what I mean?” She says the last part with a wink directed your way, and you smile along with her.
Pietro seems suspicious, but seems fine when you ask him to run a few yards as fast as he can. Either he trusts you or he’s either to show off; both work for you.
The second you see Pietro start to run, you hold up your hands and concentrate. Instantly, time seems to slow down around Pietro- no matter how hard he tries, he’s moving at a snail’s pace. You easily walk and catch up to him, pulling a small knife from his belt. You hold it up triumphantly when you let Pietro return to normal time.
He’s at your side in an instant, grinning ear to ear. “That was fantastic. I was actually slow.” He shudders for dramatic effect. “Is that what it’s like to be you guys? I don’t know how you stand it.”
Wanda swats him on the shoulder, but they’re both laughing.
“See? Told you she was cool.” Wanda says.
When Pietro looks back at you, you’re almost startled by the intensity of his gaze. “You were right.”
For some reason, it almost makes you shiver. Wanda looks at you as if she knows what you’re thinking, but that can’t be right, because you’re not sure that you know what you’re feeling at all.
And, to be honest, this doesn’t go away after a while. You end up seeing Pietro Maximoff a lot more as the days go on, especially after you receive higher clearance to go on more Avengers missions. This means plenty of time to hang with him and Wanda in the jet after different fights, or sometimes just Pietro. You’ve grown accustomed to running through battles with Pietro because he never has to worry about speaking too fast; you can just speed up time for yourself and keep up.
This starts a habit of finding Pietro in dark corners of the jet, of pretending you get annoyed whenever he slings your legs into his lap, and listening to the thrum of the engines underneath his every word. Sometimes, the two of you talk until your voice is hoarse, and sometimes, Pietro’s sentences dry up mid phrase and he just sits there looking at you until he remembers himself and keeps going, usually with a wink or stupid joke to deflect the fact that he’d been feeling anything at all.
Wanda teases you about it sometimes, how much time you spend with Pietro, but you find you don’t really mind it. After all, the two of you are actually really good partners. With his speed and your ability to control time, you’re one of the only people who can actually keep up with him. The Avengers get more and more used to assigning the two of you to work together, and you’ve never minded it once.
In fact, you welcome it, even though you know you shouldn’t. Here is the problem of leaning too far into Pietro’s stolen glances and witty jokes told around open drinks: you’re not entirely sure that any of it is real. You’ve seen him smile the same way around Nat and the other female S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who have the luck or misfortune to cross his path, so you know it’s not just because of you.
All the same, you kind of wish it was. That’s why you find yourself standing at the edge of one of Stark’s parties later that month, pretending you can’t see Pietro leaning closer and closer to a woman in a red dress across the room.
After a little while, Wanda comes up to you. She doesn’t even bother with the pleasantries, just goes straight into what’s on your mind. “So, I see that you and Pietro are getting along well?”
You laugh a little, somehow not surprised, and raise your glass as if to agree with her. “You could say that. I feel like I work with him on some mission at least once a week.”
Wanda smirks. “I’m not talking about that kind of getting along.”
You give her a suspicious look. “What other kind could there be?”
Wanda folds her arms across her chest. “Do I have to spell it out for you? I see the way you look at each other, practically everyone does. Someone’s going to have to confess at some point, you know.”
You do your best not to choke on the drink you’ve just raised to your lips. “A little abrupt, Wanda?”
Your friend just shakes her head. “Not at all, I think. Besides, you’re changing the subject.”
You stare mournfully at your drink. “Maybe I want to. It’s not like admitting anything would do me any good. This little feelings thing isn’t going to go anywhere.”
Wanda frowns. “Why do you think that?”
You gesture uselessly with your hands. “You know your brother, he’s like that with everyone. No matter how many times he tells me I look pretty, he’s said the exact same compliment to a dozen other people. What’s the point of letting myself fall for someone if I know it isn’t going anywhere?”
Wanda sighs, stepping closer to make sure no one can overhear your conversation. “Who said it wasn’t going anywhere?”
You sigh, feeling your throat threaten to close up on you. “I’m not an idiot, Wanda. If he’s got anyone he wants, why go for me? Because I have special powers? Wait a week and a new intern comes in with something cooler than that. If I thought he meant anything when it came to me, I wouldn’t be doing my best to pretend I don’t see him talking to that other girl over there.”
Wanda glances over at her brother and shakes her head slightly when she realizes what you mean. “All the same, I do think there’s something. If neither of you can see it, well, I hope you do at some point.”
Before you can ask her what she means by that, Wanda slips away to go talk to Vision, who’s just freed himself from a conversation with Bruce Banner. You stare at the room around you, contemplating which of your coworkers would be the least bad to talk to at a time like this, then give up and slip quietly from the room.
Like it or not, Wanda’s gotten to you. You can’t shake the image of Pietro smiling at the other girl from your mind, or escape the feeling that you should be doing something about it. At the end of the day, though, you’re just you, and Pietro’s just playing around to see what happens. You both want different things, and no amount of wishing will change that.
You drift into an empty room near the end of the hall, and stand before a wall made entirely of windows. Your eyes trace over the city far below you, the relentless night and the lights beginning to prick out against it. It’s beautiful, but it all feels so far away.
A voice from the doorway behind you makes you jump. “Everything alright? I saw you leave.”
You turn around to see Pietro leaning against the door. You’re not sure when he left, but you could have sworn that he was still deeply engrossed in that girl from before. He seems like he’s deliberating over the threshold, so you extend a hand to him and he walks inside.
Pietro joins you by the window. “You know, every now and then I still can’t believe that the whole city is real. I spent enough time watching Sokovia destroy itself that sometimes the thought that New York could exist, undamaged, doesn’t even make sense.”
A half smile tugs at the corners of your lips. “Not for lack of trying. I swear some new villain tries to destroy half the city every month.”
Pietro laughs quietly. “Well, I guess it’s a good thing it’s got you to watch over everything. It certainly brings me some peace of mind.”
You raise an eyebrow. “Because I’m on missions all the time?”
Pietro tilts his head to the side, considering this. “Because you never let something go if you think it’s wrong. I’ve never seen you turn down a chance to do good, even when you’re exhausted. That’s worth something.”
You glance over at him. At some point in the last few minutes, Pietro turned away from the window to look fully at you. The lights of the window below you reflect in his eyes, painting a thousand pictures of the city he never seems to belong to. His fingers tap at his sides, the only sign that he’s still moving too fast for anyone other than you to understand.
Pietro glances down at his hands, as if he can read your mind like his sister, and grins abashedly. “Bad habit. I can’t stay still when it feels like everything’s moving so slowly.”
You smile. “You don’t have to be the only one.”
Your eyes flicker shut for a second as you focus, then you speed up time around yourself so that you’re living on the same frequency as Pietro. When you open your eyes, the cars below you seem to be moving a thousand times faster. It’s almost dizzying, but Pietro’s grinning at you so you can’t seem to think about much else.
“It’s fun, isn’t it? Being faster than anyone.”
You laugh at that. “Exhausting, maybe. How do you keep up with it all?”
Pietro smirks. “You get used to it after a while. Stick around with me, maybe I can teach you a few tricks about it.”
You shake your head slightly, smiling. “Bold of you to assume I’d be going anywhere without you.”
Pietro’s smile grows at that, and he reaches over to take your hand. “Bold of you to assume I’d let you go.”
There’s a certain truth in that sentence that makes your heart stutter, like it’s the truest thing he’s ever said to you. And, when you look up at him, you’re fairly sure that it is. Not many people know the real Pietro, the one outside of the fast movements and the snarky comebacks. This, though? This is him. This is the boy HYDRA couldn’t change away, the one who grew up to fall in love with girls who sped up time to make him feel normal again. And, when he leans forward and kisses you, slowly because he doesn’t have to feel like he’s rushing anymore, you know it to be a fact.
marvel tag list: missing pietro maximoff hours @rogueanschel, @mycosmicparadise, @ellobruv-blog, @caswinchester2000
Hmm how about Steve recruiting the reader to help them fight against Ultron because she has electricity manipulating powers. Pietro immediately starts flirting with her but and it's all silly until they both catch feelings for each other. Later, during what are supposed to be his last moments, she uses an electric field to shield him from the bullets and saves his life.
@thefanficmonster: I knoow you told me to take my time but I just couldn’t stop writing and here it is. I hope you like it, I tried my best. If you want I can write more for you and do maybe another part, whatever you like because I didn’t do the “telling each other their feelings”-part.
It started at first as silly banter. You two met the first time after Steve recruited you from Shield to help them fight against Ultron. The Avengers and you were flying to Johannesburg to meet Ulysses Klaue. There you met him the first time. You could still remember it as clear as if it was just a day ago. Because you were new, nobody trusted you really and they told you to always stick to an Avenger. Well, shit got down as the female Maximoff bewitched them and they began losing themselves in visions of their fears. And so you stood there, feeling clearly lost because you never were outside of the Shield Training Camp and they left you without clear instructions besides “Be always with one of us and don’t leave our sight.”. You scoffed. Thank you very much for these insightful tips, you thought to yourself as you stumbled through the hallways with no directions.
Lowly whistling to yourself you walked down a long, narrow hallway with flickering light. You had no idea why the ever-loving fuck the light was flickering because every other hallway was fine. Maybe they thought they want to add some spooky feeling to their very illegal business. Either way, you shrugged and tried to ignore the small shiver running down your back. Then your hair began dancing in the wind. Confused you stopped. Your hair stopped moving.
“Wow, now I am really getting scared. That’s embarrassing.”, you said to yourself as you observed the quiet hallway. Nothing moved and so, after some seconds you decided to start walking again. Except your hair was moving again. Before you could talk to yourself again, a person appeared beside you.
“Do you believe in love at the first sight - or should I walk by again?”, he asked as he stood beside you, arms crossed and smirking at you. Involuntary you shrieked and let out a small electric field that shocked everything around you in a five-meter radius. Right at this moment, you were sure he would attack you because he would think that you attacked him. Immediately you moved a bit back, ready to bolt should he start charging at you. Instead, he began chuckling after he let a small yelp out at your shocking abilities. “You are even more startling as I imagined.”, he grinned cheekily at you and winked.
You knew he was your enemy but you couldn’t stop your laugh. You even went as far as answering his question. “Well, maybe if you would walk slower by again I can give you a better answer.”
After that, you just hit it off. Every time you two saw each other, you were flirting and teasing each other. You earned more than one angry glare or comment from your new teammates but you just couldn’t stop. It was addicting and you felt a connection towards him. And because of that, you were so thankful when Wanda and Pietro joined your team to fight against Ultron. Finally, he was in your proximity. Sadly though the battle in Sokovia happened and you two didn’t have much time to really come closer.
Just like the first time you met Pietro, you had no clue where everyone was. There was utter chaos in the floating city and you felt so overwhelmed with everything. So you were confused when Pietro showed up beside you, falling to the knees and scraping them in the progress. “Do you have a Band-Aid? I just scraped my knee falling for you.” A small smile grazed your lips as you noticed that he tried to cheer you up. Somehow he had seen you standing there with big eyes as you saw the crumbling buildings.
You didn’t know how much time passed but you were so exhausted and relieved when finally the Helicarrier appeared and all the civilians could be saved. Finally, your work was nearly done. But then you noticed with wide eyes that small kid on the streets, screaming for his mother. Without a thought, you ran towards it but Hawkeye beat you to it and reached it first. You slowed your panicked running to walking as your heart started properly beating once again. Hawkeye just picked the small boy up when one of the last bots appeared and fired at them. At that moment time slowed down for you. With wide eyes and a body frozen in shock, you watched how Hawkeye began to crouch and turn, hoping to shield the kid with his body. And your mouth parted in a silent scream when Pietro appeared just before him, ready to take the bullets for them both. In that moment, where time slowed down, you could understand how Pietro described his abilities to you. It was pure instinct that made you raise your arms. Never in your whole training, you were able to make a whole shield out of electricity which really worked as a shield. But at this moment when the bullets reached the field, they pulverized. Without further ado, you ran towards them, out of breath even though you weren't running very far.
“We’re not socks but I think we make a great pair.”, you laughed breathlessly as you watched how Hawkeye and Pietro turned with shocked eyes to you. As you met Pietros eyes, he began to smile at you, genuinely grateful but still surprised. With a small, breathless laugh he replied: “Do you know CPR? Because you are taking my breath away!”
I was wondering if I could get a male marvel ship?
Basics: I am 5’7”, cancer (I don’t believe in zodiacs because I’m like the opposite), Slytherin, ENTP, enneagram type 8. Chaotic, sarcastic, dramatic, and according to people I know, mean (sorry not sorry ig?) and a raging feminist.
Looks: Skinny body type (i got nothing😭) hella pale, brown hair with red highlights, and hazel eyes that change color.
Social-related Facts? I am secretly touch-starved and a hopeless romantic. I am pretty social (or at least social enough to have 2 friends; I don’t think people need them though.) love being alone to have time to myself for reading, writing, drawing, playing video games, and listening to music.
My Good/Bad Side: Some of my worst traits are selfishness, stubbornness, jealousy, vindictiveness, being manipulative, and rage. Some of my good traits are my intelligence, creativity, resourcefulness, and humor (which is very dark and sometimes offensive) Overall, I’m a pretty chill person but if you anger or provoke me the only advice I have is to run🙂
Fun Facts/Miscellaneous: I am Pagan/Wiccan and have an unhealthy obsession with collecting rocks and shells (and reading fanfics but let’s not worry about that🥴) I’m Moldovan and Romanian is my first language. I get like either no sleep or sleep until noon and I’m a big over-thinker and have anxiety. Believe me or not, but I can in fact see auras (if I concentrate but also sorta unfocus my eyes kinda; it’s weird)
In short, I’m a difficult person to deal with
Sparkles for you✨✨✨
hey! thanks! hope you like this <33 also i'm literally so sorry this took forever to answer i was suffering major burnout 🥴
~~~~~~~
Marvel Matchup!
Based on your characteristics, I think you'd do best with...
Pietro!
~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~
(whichever one you prefer askdjdgsg)
~~~~~~~
he takes all you have to offer with ease and in stride like i'm not even kidding this man be SMOOOOOOOTH
y'all are really similar in demeanor two which is why you get along so well, and he loves it when you really dig into someone
energy is through the charts with this one
pietro is overall pretty happy-go-lucky in the sense that he knows how to handle you when you get worked up, and really knows how to flip the vibe when it's not a serious situation
like one time, someone in the avengers compound had eaten a special lunch you had prepared for yourself and no one was owning up to it
they should've known better because you had already been having a bad day but oooooooh my god did you unleash hell lmao
pietro was out that day and wanda had to call him back like "pietro pls help it's happening again" and that's like all he needed before he was back over in a flash second
he was able to talk you down with some jokes and promises about pummeling whoever ate your lunch (if you didn't get to them first ahskdjsha) and also holding you in a vice grip against him so you didn't go rampaging through the common room again
but if he sincerely does something or says something to piss you off, he'll let you cuss him out all you want until it's his turn to talk
most of the time he knows he deserves it lol
when he learns you like collecting rocks and shells, this man suddenly sees every rock and shell and says it reminds him of you
sometimes he'll keep some of his own (if it really reminds him of you) but mostly he'll give you what he finds when he's out on missions
if you speak to him in your first language, i swear to god pietro just 😳💥❤️🔥
pietro.exe has stopped working
he'll obviously want you to teach him some endearing words and phrases (and also a lot of stupid words and phrases) so he'll be able to talk to you and only you
this man will literally run to the ends of the world for you (and he's tried on several occasions)
Ok while I love both Pietro and Peter Maximoff (definitely both amazing yet same person if you think about it…)
And normally I request more for Peter then I do Pietro, that’s only because I get more ideas for Peter, but this one is actually a Pietro one:
Again NOT my gif, all credit to: @siremasterlawrence
I think it’d be cool to see a fic where the reader grew up with Pietro and Wanda. She would have also been given powers and she would have been close to both in different ways. With Wanda they’d be like sisters where as with Pietro he’d be super protective over her and sweet on her. Wanda clearly can see that their love for one another goes deeper then she’s ever seen so of course she totally supports it.
BUT! The people who have them using them for their powers (I can’t remember the names right now, all I fully remember is that it’s a division of hydra…) anyway they end up selling the reader to the highest paying person and who might that be? Tony freaking stark. Plot twist though he buys her to save her and he tries to get Wanda and Pietro out as well, but he fails. So together he and cap help the reader learn to use her powers for good.
Of course she misses her friends very very much, but soon she finds herself in a bad position. So what does Tony do? He has her killed! No not really, he just puts her in a protective position where she seems like she dies then she becomes someone new. Years later when they break into the facility they start fighting with the avengers. When Pietro is about to take Clint out, she takes Pietro down instead, but when he looks up at her he’s in shock because he thought she was dead and he whispers her name. She instantly recognizes him and starts apologizing for taking him down. She helps him up and they have a very emotional reunion. Both almost are in tears as they hold one another and he promises her that she’ll see Wanda. Then she turns to a confused group of avengers and Tony asks if she’s going to introduce her new friends. Ya know this scene:
Again NOT my gif, all credit to: @starkravingparker
She giggles saying they aren’t new friends. She then explains to Tony that they are the others that he tried saving along with her all those years ago and suddenly it all clicks for Tony.
Then just a happy ending of them all being together again.
Someone please write this 😫😫 I would, but I’m too swamped with WIP right now too. But I NEED it.
