Fae - Darcy Lewis/Natasha Romanov

for @sarbear1610​ 260 words Rated T Fae AU

~~~~~~~~~~

What brings you here today?” the woman asked, arching a perfect eyebrow and making Darcy wonder just what kind of routine these fae-folk had for their eyebrows.  Because she was willing to spend some time in fae to learn, just saying.

“You know, I just stumbled into the fairy ring. I’m sure you hear it all the time,” Darcy said, laughing loudly and trailing off when the red-haired fae didn’t even crack a smile.

“Actually no. We don’t hear that all the time,” the other woman replied. “Considering that the rings aren’t real. It’s just an urban legend.”

Darcy gulped and shrugged. “I don’t actually know how I got here, but...”

“But?” There went that eyebrow again, it made her belly twinge.  Perhaps it wasn’t the eyebrow, but the one making it move.  Natalia was more beautiful than she’d been prepared for.

She had razor sharp teeth and green eyes and flaming red hair and Darcy was just about ready to pledge herself for just a chance to kiss her feet and Darcy wasn’t someone who particularly liked feet, okay?

“But if you want me to stay, I will,” she continued.

That got a reaction out of Natalia. “Most people don’t want to stay here. Most are trying to escape.”

“Maybe you just aren’t taking the right people then,” Darcy said with a grin.

A grin Natalia returned. “Come. I’ll show you around. You can make an informed decision.”

Darcy knew as soon as she took her hand, she was here for good.

And maybe that was alright with her.

Ice Skating - Taserbite

for @sarbear1610​ 218 words Rated T

~~~~~~~~~~

As her skates glided across the ice, Darcy couldn’t help but think she’d finally found something she was better at than Natasha. Not that she’d been keeping score. Because there wasn’t a score, really. It was just Natasha being amazing at everything.

But if anything, she was a little clumsy at ice skating. Either that, or she was stunningly adept at looking like she was a little clumsy at ice skating.

She tripped and Darcy grabbed her arm, narrowly catching herself as well. As she pulled Natasha back to a standing position, the other woman surprised her by leaning over to kiss her. It wasn’t the kiss that surprised her, the kiss itself was a part of the ruse. They were supposed to be a couple.  A lesbian couple vacationing for the winter in Vermont wasn’t that big of a stretch to believe.

But the way she kissed was what surprised Darcy. It was lingering. It had heat. It was... god, so good.

Darcy staggered a bit when Natasha released her, and she caught a glimpse of a smirk when she opened her eyes. “What was that?”

“Thanks for catching me,” Nat said.

“No problem.”

“Maybe it’ll happen again?” she teased.

“Maybe so?” Darcy countered, completely out of her depth here.

Nat pecked her lips again. “Here’s hoping.”

Ghosts - Darcy Lewis/Wanda Maximoff

for @sarbear1610​ 284 words Rated T I’m not trying to scare you, I’m trying to warn you

~~~~~~~~~~

Wanda wasn’t exactly unaware of the ghost haunting her new home, but she’d been able to avoid it so far.

She’d seen them everywhere for as long as she could remember and she’d really hoped there weren’t any in her new house. Because that’s what it was.  A new house. There shouldn’t be any spirits roaming the house. It was built in 2013.

But there was something there.  Something female as far as she could tell, and even though her interest was piqued, she didn’t allow herself to look.

Until finally one day, the spectre called her by name.

“Wanda, look at me, please.”

Wanda turned and her eyes nearly bugged out of her head when she saw who it was.  It couldn’t be.

“But you... you were dusted when Thanos...” Tears came to her eyes and threatened to spill as she quickly walked across the room to stand in front of her. “Darcy... I’m so sorry I couldn’t---“

“Don’t worry about that, Wanda. I’m not dead. Just on pause for a little bit. And contrary to what I used to say before about becoming a ghost and haunting everyone with Britney Spears music, I’m not trying to scare you right now. I’m trying to warn you. Things are much more complicated than they seem.  He’s still out there, even though you guys went after him before.  He’s still out there and you have to defeat him this time. Because if you don’t...”

Darcy’s visage flickered then, like a neon sign running out of juice. Her speech was garbled and while Wanda could easily guess what she’d been trying to say, she still didn’t want to see her go so soon.

“Darcy...” Wanda whispered.

Be My Hero - Darcy/Nat

for @sarbear1610​ Darcy Lewis/Natasha Romanov 547 words Rated T

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natasha’s arms felt just as strong around her as they would have if she’d been Captain America or Thor. She was only about an inch taller than Darcy, but she was deceptively strong. Darcy figured it had to do with the whole superspy thing. Look unassuming and then clean the floor with their asses once their guard was down.

But as she practically dragged Darcy down the empty corridor of the AIM facility, Darcy’s twisted ankle costing them precious seconds and yards where they could have been running, she could sense a bit of urgency in her demeanor. Something she never really had sensed in the Black Widow before.

“Do you trust me?” Natasha asked.

“Absolutely,” Darcy replied.

“Okay, so don’t hate me tomorrow,” the redhead smirked and bent at the waist to scoop Darcy up and over her shoulder in a fireman’s carry.

“Holy shit,” Darcy exclaimed, but they were off. Nowhere near as fast as some of the Avengers, but still pretty fast for a teeny little five foot nothing woman carrying another five foot nothing woman across her shoulders.

She ran them out of the building, yelling something that sounded like “Shield your eyes!”

So Darcy brought her arm up to cover them and gasped when an explosion shook the ground.  Natasha didn’t flinch, she just kept right on running until they were safely behind the SHIELD barricade.

“Is she hurt?” someone yelled.

“Her ankle,” she heard Nat relay, and then she was whisked off to an ambulance.  Darcy kept waiting for her savior to come back so she could thank her properly, but she never did.

So that night, with a bandaged foot strapped into a boot to keep it still, Darcy hobbled her way out of the hotel room that SHIELD had put her up in for the night, down the hall to the elevator to see if she could figure out exactly which room Natasha was in. If any.

Of course, it being the year 2020, Darcy found out nothing at the front desk. It was only as she made her way dejectedly back to her hotel room that she spied the redhead peeking out of a hotel room just a couple of doors down from hers.

“There you are.”

“Did you need something? Want me to secure the room?” Natasha asked, arching an eyebrow in a way that made Darcy’s belly swoop at the possibility.

“I mean, I won’t turn you away at the door if you want to do that… I just came by to thank you.”

“Thank me?” Nat repeated like it was a novel concept.

“Yeah. For saving me earlier?”

“Darcy, it’s my job. You shouldn’t have been put in that situation, to begin with.”

“Well, I was. And you were there. Being my hero. So thank you.”

There was a pregnant pause where Darcy thought at least six or seven times that Natasha was about to ask her out, but it never happened.

“Well, I guess I’ll let you get some rest?” Darcy began, and she swore she saw a tinge of disappointment cloud Natasha’s face before it cleared once more. “Unless… you did want to come to check out my room?”

Nat grinned. “Only if you want me to?”

“Oh, I totally want you. To.”

Taserbite

For: @sarbear1610​ Prompt: I’ve been crocheting this throw blanket for four years and it’s finally finished. Please pretend it’s big enough and cuddle under it with me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ta-da!” Darcy exclaimed, spreading out her masterpiece of an afghan across their laps with a flourish.

A flourish that was seriously dampened when she realized that her feet were still hanging out from underneath the edge of the blanket.

She picked it up and turned it, wondering if it had somehow shrunk between last night when she’d finished it and now, when she was showing Natasha. “Um… I’ve been working on this for four years, where is the fucking mass?”

Natasha giggled and scooted closer. “Here, let’s try snuggling under it again…”

“It’s minuscule,” Darcy whined. “We can’t use this for anything…”

“It’ll look great on the back of the couch,” Natasha assured her. “But for now… let’s just… get really close so we both fit.”

Darcy couldn’t really argue with the logic. Didn’t want to, either.

Pairing:  Clint Barton/Darcy Lewis For:  @sarbear1610 Prompt:  [this list], “I was trying to take a sneeky picture of you because i told my friend about the hot guy on the train and she wanted to see but you totally noticed and yeah this is awkward” au

He heard the photo snap and turned to look at her.  Darcy froze for a moment before speaking.  “Hi.”  

“Hi… did you just...take a picture of me?”  he asked.  

“Yeahhhhh.  I was just telling my friend that there was this hot guy on the train and she wanted proof…”  

He raised his eyebrows.”I’m the hot guy?”  

She grinned.  “Yeah?”  

“Lemme see the picture.”  He held out his hand and she handed him her phone.  He looked and shook his head.  “Nah, that’s no good.  Lemme take one for you.  I know my best angle.”  He scooted down in the seat and held the phone up over his head.  He threw up a peace sign and snapped the picture, handing it back to her.  “There.”

“Thanks,” Darcy said, still grinning.  “I’m Darcy, by the way.”  

“Clint.  Or you can just keep calling me ‘Hot Guy’, that works too.”  

“Hot Guy Clint?”  

“Perfect.”

pulling it off

Pairing:  Darcy Lewis/Wanda Maximoff For:  @sarbear1610 Prompt:  [this list], We turned up to this party wearing the same outfit and you look better in it au 

Wanda scoffed.  "It is not possible.  I do not have the… ehhh… endowments to fill it out correctly."  

Darcy laughed.  "Endowments do not a cute outfit make.  You pull it off way better than I do."  

Wanda's eyebrow arched.  "Wouldn't you like to know how I pull it off?"

With a grin, Darcy nodded.  "Absolutely.  Then you can give me tips, because honey.  There are tons of pieces and oh my Thor, that was a pick up line, wasn't it?"  

The other woman wrinkled her nose.  "It was an attempt."
