Idead
Shan-aconda
omg idea*
Shan-aconda
So we decided Kringle is probably Clint's grandpa in fea verse
Shan-aconda
have you started battle ground
Shan-aconda
because I don't want to spoil a thing
Air Ashari
I have I'm just past the kraken fight
Shan-aconda
ohh okay I will tread carefully
Shan-aconda
But I'm thinking Clint and the wild hunt
Shan-aconda
>>
Shan-aconda
with Kringle
Shan-aconda
like this is were he actually has to accept he's weird
Shan-aconda
and not Clint weird
Air Ashari
I like that idea.
Shan-aconda
also explain why Clint can fly the way he does and the whole light light cycle thing
Shan-aconda
Air Ashari
: Oh god his hearing aids are going to fry
Shan-aconda
with that much getting tossed around
Air Ashari
yuppppp not to mention Winter's powers being off.
Shan-aconda
did we say he was winter or was he wild
Shan-aconda
like no allegiance like Kringle
Shan-aconda
just kind of a vague association
Shan-aconda
Also I can't wait for you to finish
Air Ashari
I think we said wild but at this point Stephen isn't completely sure yet.
Shan-aconda
ah yeah
Shan-aconda
Clint being like Santa ???
Shan-aconda
You can call me grandapa....
Shan-aconda
CACKLE
Shan-aconda
Bob Dylan - Knockin' On Heaven's Door (Unplugged)
also Clint so many times
Air Ashari
Yeah I'm sure Marcone invited Stephen to the peace talks since after Thanos it would have been pretty clear he was the head honcho in terms of the Masters, but Stephen would have been like "HELL NO" since he himself doesn't feel ready for that.
Shan-aconda
lol Clint approves, oh man Clint looking weird as soon as they get there.
Air Ashari
Yeahhh Stephen also wouldn't have wanted to bring the Eeye anywhere it could have been at risk
Shan-aconda
oh for fucking sure.
Shan-aconda
I love that Stephen is like welp can't stop Clint and the Doggo if people need help
Air Ashari
Oh yeah he's very much. "THIS IS BAD," but he also knows it's not up to him what people do. It's why he spent most of IW basically just guiding everyone where he wanted them to go without saying much.
Shan-aconda
I can see if he was dating one of them giving his control issues
Shan-aconda
it being a little different with who he was dating
Shan-aconda
Oh the other thing I thought of, Roan was when the wild hunt took him, not like the people but the feeling, he's been untrained and maybe just everything with the snap that untrained, never unleased part of him when nuts on some bad guys
Shan-aconda
I think people forgets he kills mother fuckers in the comics and used to get paid to kill bad people before SHIELD
Shan-aconda
yeah he makes calls and good ones, but he is one of the few on the team that will and has taken a life
Shan-aconda
and having Stephen react to actually seeing seeing that might be interesting
Air Ashari
Yeah at this point Stephen has his theories but actually seeing it will throw him for a loop.
Air Ashari
though I'm cackling at Stephen facing down a Titian and everyone but Clint going "WHAT THE HELL."
Shan-aconda
Clint just like shrug
Shan-aconda
Oh yeah the image of Clint just sliting someones throat and dropping them
Shan-aconda
... Why do you think it took Phil so long to catch ....
Air Ashari
Marcone and Vadderrung going "Oh yeah we're fine now."
Shan-aconda
hahaha
Shan-aconda
oh Clint whould have no problem killing Macrone >>
Air Ashari
Stephen just rolling his eyes and bitching about having to clean up their mess. "I warned you about the Fromer but did you listen no...:
Shan-aconda
And now you've made me aknowlage that my boy friend isn't on the team for his witty quips
Shan-aconda
a body falls off a building filled with arrows
Shan-aconda
Macrone ... he uses arrows... Vaddeung: I wouldn't talk shit... you can't hear an arrow coming or being shot sir
Air Ashari
Stephen: /smirks "You'll listen to me from now on right?"
Shan-aconda
lol
Shan-aconda
Clint is going to be like you owe me doughnuts and a week in bed. stabs an ork
Air Ashari
Stephen: The amount of favors I'm going to be able to call in after this we'll be able to go on vacation for a year. /sling rings a demon.
Shan-aconda
Hahaha
Shan-aconda
Oh man Clint would have to kill some bad humans and I could see that being the realization for Stephen about what Clint does when he’s on opps when there is no weird shit
Air Ashari
Everyone will owe stephen and Harry won't stop laughing for months because Stephen will collect every single one.
Air Ashari
Yeah Stephen never saw Roinin in action so he'll hesitate for a second.
Shan-aconda
Maybe when he does Clint saves his ass
Shan-aconda
“Real war not time travel war Stephen you pause you die.” Serious Clint
Air Ashari
Oh yeah it will just be like a split second like "Oh...OH."
Shan-aconda
yeah
Shan-aconda
Clint will give Stephen snuggles
Shan-aconda
Air Ashari
: Oh man they give Clint a wild hunt mask at the end of the battle
Shan-aconda
Hawk Mask mask bird of prey bird mask unique mask pa...
Shan-aconda
Thor and loki and are just: Well that's not fair
Air Ashari
Stephen: /smirks He's family and he earned it Not all of us got to slide into power. Clint and I worked for it.
Shan-aconda
I think Thor would get it more lol
Shan-aconda
Loki would be like but I genocided! ><
Shan-aconda
Wild Hunt not the bat shit crazy murder hunt...
Shan-aconda
Oh lord tho that means Thor is Clint's uncle or some relation.
Shan-aconda
Air Ashari
: wanna play bit I got my two job apps done, the other one I am waiting for my friend who is a referral to hop back on. 
Air Ashari
i have a quick errand to run then I'm all yours.
Shan-aconda
Air Ashari
: smooches you
Shan-aconda
Air Ashari
: Well that was a nap
Air Ashari
that's okay I've been reading I'm at the cemetery fight.
Shan-aconda
So good!
Shan-aconda
I can't wait for AU Stephen and Clint lolol
Shan-aconda
I can be yours right now tho 
I'm almost done with stuff for barry
I'm almost done with stuff for barry
Air Ashari
I reached THAT scene so yes break time.
Shan-aconda
Ugh
Shan-aconda
hugs
Air Ashari
I get why people are mad about I get it but the emotional weight of it was so damm good that having it happen any other way would have made it feel....cheap.
Shan-aconda
I think it makes sense in the situation they were in
Shan-aconda
Her getting taken down by a big bad wouldn't feel right
Shan-aconda
however her getting shot by a panicked cop with no trigger discipline and anger issues
Shan-aconda
when discipline and control were her life
Shan-aconda
also doing what was right even if it wasn't legal
Air Ashari
Yeah and the battle scenes just wrap you in to the point you forget the humans are out there it's clear why that scene was there because Butcher then uses it to remind Harry for the next two chapters that they are there and want to fight too. It was an awesome transition.
Shan-aconda
For fucking real
Shan-aconda
Good and bad human
Air Ashari
Plus it was an awesome way for Butters and Sawna to save Harry from himself they rarelyyyy get seens that meaty and I was just glued to my Kindle.
Air Ashari
moved the thread here
Shan-aconda
A+
Air Ashari
I figured things were gonna get spoilery, sexy and bloody so it would be better to do that.
Shan-aconda
I was gonna suggest it
Shan-aconda
great minds you bet me
Air Ashari
yuppppp
Shan-aconda
hmm what do we want to happen in the first part of the battle
Air Ashari
Stephen is going to head for Mac's after the dressing down and spread the Masters out to finish any clearing out that needs to be done, then he'll help with the Huntsman.
Shan-aconda
Are they on the squid roof
Shan-aconda
lol
Shan-aconda
Imma assume they are on the squid roof right now.
Shan-aconda
Should Kringle notice him
Shan-aconda
I was also thinking maybe the bow at some point maybe when they get to Mac's (Thinking that's where Lucky headed) the bow starts to do a glowy thing lol
Shan-aconda
Air Ashari
: Harry and Clint would probably get along lol
Air Ashari
Yes they are on the squid roof
Air Ashari
and yes Odin should notice this
Air Ashari
and Stephen is gonna be like "this is why I haven't introduced you two yet when Harry and Clint meet
Shan-aconda
hehehe
Shan-aconda
lol Clint has no filter either so this'll be fun until they get in combat
Air Ashari
"Goddammit you two focus."
Shan-aconda
I am shots somethings
Air Ashari
"One of you calling me Dumbledore is bad enough."
Shan-aconda
Air Ashari
: I really want Rivershoulders and Clint to be besties
Shan-aconda
hahahaha
Shan-aconda
And Stephen is just like sigh
Shan-aconda
like unironically friends Clint would get him clothes We'll just go to BIG N TALL
Shan-aconda
Clint to the other avengers THIS IS RIVER SHOULDERS !!!
Air Ashari
That's exactly the thought I had when River Shoulder's was like "I lost my glasses"
Air Ashari
The other Avengers learning the real pull Stephen has when Kringle, Mab and Molly show up at the compound to confer with him about something.
Air Ashari
All the older Signators calling Stephen boy, child and pup around them and him just taking it because yes he is...hell he's barely older than Harry.
Shan-aconda
mmm hmmm
Shan-aconda
That's actually what's starting to fuck with Clint's head, is everyone knows Stephen, Stephen knows everyone, Clint is the joke of the team, a disposable nobody, to everyone. Just slips into the background when the grown ups are talking, and ignored.
Shan-aconda
pets Clint
Shan-aconda
Oh ego lol
Shan-aconda
So that will be fun for them to talk about
Air Ashari
That's why Stephen was like "if you all call him a servant you will find out what happens."
Air Ashari
Also Stephen is still carrying a shit ton of guilt for the "Plan" to handle Thanos so some of this fight is gonna remind him of that.
Shan-aconda
Yeah it didn't feel like that to Clint I got that because right after it was pretty much finger snap follow me.
Shan-aconda
Clint is like you're just like Tony weather it's weird world or normal world hot shot where ever you go. They'll work it out though. Thanos fall out and now this is just gonna be a lot lol
Shan-aconda
Clint is like are you trying to over compensate, on the I'm a cool and famous doctor shit after the thanos shit... ><
Shan-aconda
War happens Stephen people die during war.
Shan-aconda
But unlike other shit Clint is going to work this out lol
Shan-aconda
instead of just vanishing like he does because of feelings
Air Ashari
Yeah Stephen needs a good mental slap after this.
Shan-aconda
Clint will provide that and kisses
Shan-aconda
What do you think I have a few ideas for Clint weirdness
Shan-aconda
bow starts getting glowy when the Wyld Hunt shows up, or when it's around the swords, hmm
Shan-aconda
or do you have any thoughts
Shan-aconda
Also lol Clint is going to have words later about you saying his fucking name on the roof
Shan-aconda
and not saying hawkeye
Shan-aconda
Stephen I kill people for a living... there is a reason Nat, Buck, and I have code names... not super hero names.
Shan-aconda
and that hole magic thing you told me about lolol
Shan-aconda
smooches
Shan-aconda
now feed me
Air Ashari
I definately think the sword of Faith with all it's wonkyness would react around Clint if not the Time Stone too since he has held an Infinity Stone with little reaction and I like the idea of his weapons reacting to the Hunt.
Air Ashari
Maybe he even reacts to Harry's "call" to Winter in a sense too.
Shan-aconda
LOL he ran the whole fucking glove with out the bat of an eye
Air Ashari
yup and managed to throw Cap's sheid directly at Steve without blinking an eye.
Shan-aconda
Well the shield thing would be normal for him
Shan-aconda
he never misses lol
Shan-aconda
Think of trying to play frisbee golf with Clint cackle
Shan-aconda
Steve and Clint aren't allowed on the same team
Air Ashari
Stephen played once post Thanos and never again.
Shan-aconda
everyone to Steve and Clint it's not fun playing this with you too
Shan-aconda
lololol
Air Ashari
Stephen is like "I'll just watch from now on...."
Shan-aconda
Clint's gonna be like no favors no deals, I'm not letting you get mixed up in that :|
Air Ashari
Stephen: /sighs Clint...if I don't call the favors in half the people on that rood will be mad at me...no one wants that.
Shan-aconda
You start doing what and acting how they want you to act I'm gonna be mad, and take it as a red flag.
Shan-aconda
Someone idk who it would be is like OH THAT'S your human tie... even though he's only half
Air Ashari
Most likely it would be one of Mab's people, Redcap sounds likely since Stephen dislikes both the Courts intensly for just sitting back and letting Thanos use humanity like a chew toy.
Shan-aconda
I can see Redcap fucking so much with them both but also really wanting to fight clint after watching him during the five years
Air Ashari
Oh totally Redcap would be such a shit to both of them.
Shan-aconda
so maybe part of it is Stephen is leaning too much on the Time Stone, and you know unlike Clint he didn't choose the hero life. So between Infinity War, End Game and now this, it's a reality check of some kind?
Shan-aconda
That Clint, Nat, Buck, and Steve had at a far earlier age.
Shan-aconda
I feel like those four have more of an understanding of the cost of things.
Shan-aconda
Though I feel like Clint Nat and Buck are the 'clean crew' to put it politely.
Air Ashari
Stephen lost his closest friend and his mentor in the space of a year, then got thrown into a world ending crisis nor long after. He is burdened with more responsibility then he clearly felt ready for so yeah he needs a reality check again. Wong doesn't really provide that.
Shan-aconda
Clint will provide that, after tonight he might take the fae stuff more instride but have a bit of a weird headspace.
Shan-aconda
Might have to wait until you finish for the next bit? Or at least until just before the Christmas Eve Chapter lol
Air Ashari
Also did we speculate on Stephen's background at all because I have an idea brewing but I think I need to read more first.
Shan-aconda
Not yet!
Shan-aconda
Though I did remember last night Clint's parents died in a drunk driving accident because Clint's dad was hammered and Stephen fucked his hands over in a car wreck though I can't remember if it was because he'd been drinking. Or not. But I am excited for your idea for Stephen! Also in my head Clint was supposed to be in the car but his mom went instead.
Air Ashari
Good because my idea is growing now the Battle of The Bean is going on.
Shan-aconda
Ahhh
Shan-aconda
Battle of The Bean is a lot
Shan-aconda
but really good
Shan-aconda
I have ideas for Christmas Eve though
Shan-aconda
vibrates waiting for you to finish
Shan-aconda
I have so many thoughts on The Battle of The Bean
Shan-aconda
Air Ashari
: Did you finish? Lol vibrates
Air Ashari
Titania and Odin just went down hopefully I'll finish it tonight.
Shan-aconda
Ohhhh yay I'm trying to remember how close to the end that happens. I also feel like Clint would totally call him Kringle, ><
Shan-aconda
What's your idea for Stephen?
Air Ashari
he's of Merlins bloodline through his father.
Shan-aconda
hmmm could work but that's kind of super powering him on all ends? But also it could be really cool!
Shan-aconda
could explain why he was able to learn what he did
Shan-aconda
I dig it ! I'm just being careful because of the end of the book ><
Air Ashari
I know that's why I'm not going into detail yet.
Shan-aconda
Kk
Shan-aconda
I'm so excited to pick your brain on so many things
Air Ashari
Done.......and wow just wow.
Shan-aconda
RIGHT
Shan-aconda
RIIIIIGHT
Shan-aconda
SCREAMING HOLDING YOUR SHOULDERS
Shan-aconda
Christmas Eve <3 <3 <3 was a nice ending though
Air Ashari
yes I'm glad he added that because I was shaking by the end and needed that warmth.
Shan-aconda
For real also that is totally Merlin’s castle which makes me wonder about Harry
Air Ashari
It totally is which makes me think that while Stephen isn't directly related to Harry maybe cousins thought Morguse or even Sir Kay?
Air Ashari
Also tell me you didn't see Clint, Stephen, John and Harry playing keepway with the eye.
Shan-aconda
I could see that
Air Ashari
I'm also toying with the idea of Stphen being distantly related to Arthur been listening to too many myth podcasts haha.
Air Ashari
but yes I totally saw Stephen just running his mouth and then just yelling Keepway and Clint knowing exactly what to do.
Shan-aconda
I could see Arthur more since he had no talent before the accident and picking up the eye.
Shan-aconda
Clint kicking The Eye soccer ball style
Shan-aconda
Everyone just O_O
Shan-aconda
than Harry and John can run off.
Air Ashari
yeah Stephen plaming it ala Tony because you know Clint has helped him exercise his hand by teaching him pick pocketing and cheesy magic.
Shan-aconda
The bells rang again Stephen even I heard them...
Shan-aconda
clint steals Stephen's watch off his wrist You need to be more observant or get cheaper watches.
Air Ashari
it's my one indulgence mr obessed with pizzia
Air Ashari
dear lord the snark flirting they'll be doing the whole time.
Shan-aconda
For real
Air Ashari
because world ending shit is Tuesday for them.
Shan-aconda
Mmm hmm
Shan-aconda
But we should figure out how the battle goes down
Air Ashari
I'm assuming Clint will start out with the Hunt while Stephen plays defense like he normally does until he starts seeing the Hunt go down.
Shan-aconda
I can see him staying with the hunt once they show up, thinking about what their rides would look like since only Odin would have the insane six-legged horse.
Air Ashari
Because he's descended from Aruther I can see Stephen choosing to create a horse out of light....Clint's would be some sort of bird.
Shan-aconda
Clint would not want to shape shift lol I don't think his powers would go that far. IDK if he would have much in the way of powers.
Air Ashari
Maybe a horse made out of leaves or twigs?
Shan-aconda
I don't know and Stephen being able to create life?
Shan-aconda
idk
Shan-aconda
He's not a god or a godling like it seems like a lot of power for him.
Shan-aconda
I think Clint would nope out if he started getting that powerful
Shan-aconda
Even Thor and Loki don't have that much power lol
Air Ashari
Yeah Stephen has been holding back and he'll let go a little bit but his blood is diluted and he's made it clear he is not tapping into the mulitverse like the AO did
Air Ashari
hell he mostly depends on Cloak to move around so he wouldn't want to be super flashy unless he's playing distraction.
Shan-aconda
He’s already kind of over powered in the movies too IMO, lol. But he’s a sorcerer so it’s cool. But giving him more power in this verse seems. Idk, like him being related to someone cool, the masters being part of the accords makes sense. Him having the normal powers of the sorcerer supreme is already super powering him in the Dresden verse I feel.
Shan-aconda
I do LOVE him figuring out he has a bigger roll to play, in helping people
Shan-aconda
And maybe an ego check
Shan-aconda
I can for sure see a reaction when he realizes how powerful he is though
Shan-aconda
Clint is like we are taking a break after tonight if I have to chain you to the couch I will
Air Ashari
Oh yeah that's why I'm struggling to make him fit so I'll put that aside for now maybe something better will come up in later books.
Air Ashari
but yes Stephen is gonna let loose during the battle of the Bean because energy will be high and he'll feed off everyone else is doing.
Air Ashari
He'll be like a kid at Christmas when the Joten show up making snarky jokes about Loki and Thor
Shan-aconda
Clint will be like "Not one of you again..." because Loki
Shan-aconda
One of you guys already tried to destroy me.
Air Ashari
Both of them looking at the Joutn whose like "I lasted against Thor" "Dude we know Thor...we've drunk with Thor...that is like calling yourself a puppy."
Shan-aconda
technically clint chose not to kill thor
Shan-aconda
Coulson told him to take the shot
Shan-aconda
Clint said no.
Air Ashari
Stephen just getting in Euntis face. "Bitch please you look like you walked out of the cheesey fashion show. Thanos had more class in his purple pinky then you."
Shan-aconda
Stephen gets slammed through a wall
Shan-aconda
lol
Air Ashari
Gets up like " Oh sorry," and just energy slaps her and keeps mouthing off because he's trying to get at the Eye and drain her will.
Shan-aconda
Wouldn't he actually get hurt? by her I mean even Mab did.
Shan-aconda
Bounce back but than just idk
