Summary: Soulmate AU -- For the longest time you had seen everything in black and white. This all changed when you went out to buy groceries.
A/N: Thank you to @floral-and-fine for letting me take this idea from her. Everyone go check out Leah’s blog it is amazing and wonderful just like her. (Cause of this I named a little character after her) Also this is short but I may write a part two if people want.
You were called the Phoenix thanks to your ability to rise from the ashes (regenerative properties in your DNA). Because of this and your amazing fighting abilities you were a huge asset to the Avengers.
Your day to day was pretty bland. The Avengers only really called you in when absolutely necessary. You weren’t officially part of the team, yet Tony insisted that you lived with everyone in Stark Tower. This had its benefits, like not having to pay rent or explain to neighbors why you showed up sometimes looking like hell. It also had its downsides. Sometimes those downsides happened to be your roommates.
“Y/N we’re out of coffee beans!” shouted Tony.
Sighing you stood up from you chair, putting your thumb in your book.
“And you’re telling me this because?”
“You always buy the best coffee and you know how I get without coffee.” whined Tony.
Rolling your eyes you patted Tony’s shoulder.
“Moroccan or Colombian?”
It was a standard procedure. Get in, shoot, get out. Nothing the Winter Soldier hadn’t done before.
Laying down on the roof of the building he set his gun up and checked the scope. Everything was perfect and now all he had to do was wait.
Walking down the street you stopped and looked around. There was the feeling that you were being watched. Shrugging the feeling away you came to your favorite coffee shop.
Looking into his scope his target came into view. The world slowed as it normally did when he did jobs, yet this time something was different. Squinting slightly he looked closer into the scope. Your hair a subtle Y/H/C tinge to it. Shaking his head the Winter Soldier looked again. Now your shirt was blue. Your jeans a dark black.
All the Winter Soldier remembered was black, grey and white. No color.
His heart started hammering in his chest. Something was wrong. Something was telling him not to shoot.
Walking through the door of the coffee shop you waved to your favorite barista.
“Hey Leah!” you said, walking up to the counter.
“Tony send you out again?”
You nodded in response.
The Winter Soldier watched you through the scope of his gun. His finger kept toying around the trigger. He would have to wait until you left the store to try again.
“Why don’t you try this new blend we have. It’s sort of vanilla flavored. I’m sure Tony will love it.” said Leah, measuring out the coffee beans.
Inhaling deeply you nodded.
“Tony always calls me to get the coffee but little does he know that I have you as my secret weapon.”
Leah laughed and started to ring you up.
The Winter Soldier watched as you laughed at something the barista said. His head hurt. It felt like something was trying to break through his mind.
Pulling his goggles off he went back to the scope. There you were. Slowly the rest of the world was coming into color.
You paid, thanked Leah and left the store. Again you felt as if someone was watching you. Squinting you looked up, but you were blinded by the sun.
Your thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of your phone vibrating in your pocket.
“Hello?” you said, picking up the phone.
The Winter Soldier was about to squeeze the trigger when he heard your voice. His head hurt again. That thing that was trying to break free told him not to shoot, but to listen. Listening felt good.
“Tony I’m on my way. I swear you’re like a child sometimes.” you said, shaking your head and hanging up on the man.
You sighed heavily and walked back towards the tower.
“Futu-i!” said the Winter Soldier under his breath. You had gotten away. Somewhere deep in the back of his mind he was thankful.
Before he could stand up a shadow came over him.
“You failed your mission.”
A bright light came over the Winter Soldier’s face. The yellow was burning his eyes.

Marie sticks her tongue out in concentration as she angles her phone's selfie camera to see her face.
marie kim i love you
I
It starts as more of a dare than anything.
L
Lightning flashes, striking with a bang right in front of Amber's horse. The poor animal whinnies and thrashes about, throwing the Outrider from her saddle. She hits the ground rolling in the sparse grass, her head spinning. Does she hear cackling, or is it just the frantic yelling of the guards?
this one is so old but amber i love you. amber watch out theres a evil guy behind you
E
Everyone else clamoring around the karts has better equipment, personal equipment, while his is just the default suit, with no logos or identifying markings. Still, Dazai feels lucky; he got to pick his birthday, and he got to pick his gift.
from the f1 au :]
i dont even know anyone else who does writing in my mutual circles that u havent already tagged. 🎉 open tag if anyone want to do the word BEAST
i put them in a vaguely old timey au where they have an affair with a controversial character and plot to kill their husband (who is associated with hospitals)
ok. now that I have socks on I can talk about swapstars Eden. despite the socks, they are still very gay. (kidding its like in the negatives fahrenheit today)
Eden is probably the first thing I came up with in this au after Ritsu Alkaloid. That was because i went “wouldnt it be funny if i made a swap au based on auto lineup” and then it stuck with me.
This. is basically just an excuse to blorboify Tatsumi Kazehaya. i went “haha wouldn’t it be ironic if I made Tatsumi the leader of Eden” [emerges from google docs days later covered in blood] “i can explain”
tatsumi starts out pretty similarly. hes a good christian boy. hes perfect. he’s a special student. he goes to reimei to become an idol and spread god’s love to the world.
unfortunately for him. he is a teenage boy. and happens to be gay. at a school for male idols.
yknow the bible verse “if your eye sins against you, pluck it out”?
good christian boys (tatsumi) take that literally. lust is a sin after all.
this, predictably, lands him in the hospital. for physical injuries, obviously, but he also has to go to therapy as part of the recovery process. and that’s where he realizes, hey, maybe taking stuff literally when it tell you to severely injure yourself is... a bad idea. and he gets extremely disillusioned with christianity.
of course, obviously, the next step after renouncing your faith and realizing you have religious trauma? be sexy about it. so he starts reshaping his image as an idol. but it’s hard to carry on a theme by yourself.
one day, he sees kaname -- just kaname. he’s practicing by himself, in the hallways, because non-special students can’t reserve practice rooms. But he’s so earnest about it, and determined, and he doesn’t care what other people think--
would it be a stretch to say tatsumi fell in love on the spot?
in any case, tatsumi asked kaname to join him, and that’s how Adam started.
Eve is a different story, at a different school.
shu goes to yumenosaki to become the perfect idol. This vision of perfection is alone, always, except for mademoiselle, who will never hurt him. his classmates do not understand.
kuro, his childhood friend, also goes to yumenosaki to become an idol. he has a rough start, but he joins Castle, a unit with a strong foundation and good people, who want to change yumenosaki for the better.
it’s different, but its the same. one by one, Castle leads crusades for (against) the student body. Shu vanishes from the school itself, and then from the school records, leaving for Reimei.
kuro has helped change Yumenosaki, but at a cost. he hands in his resignation from Castle and desperately follows shu to Reimei, a list of everything that’s gone wrong printed on his heart.
they do work it out, slowly. a new beginning helps. and they join tatsumi and kaname as Eve, to make Eden.
