Pretty good! I almost have made this WIP my longest one (which isn’t much of an accomplishment xD I think the record is almost 8k, but still exciting!)
I’m still working out some plot stuff but I’m just adding to it for now, and it’s been going really well! This one is so much easier to write for some reason.
That’s awesome, girl! You’re doing better than me. 😅 Glad everything’s going well.
How’s yours going?
It’s going slow. I thought I would have a bunch of time this summer to work on it, buuuuut, ofc, that isn’t happening. 😂 I’m trying not to stress about it and just work on it when I have time. Rn worldbuilding is my big thing.
I rolled the log over and underneath was a tiny little stick and I was like, "That log had a child
July 31, 2023 at 11:43 am #152514Thanks! Me too. Yep, it happens xD I hope yours gets easier once worldbuilding’s over, tho!

I have two more chapters!!
Also two things you guys should know
1. in case you didn’t know this is based on the show WandaVision, it’s just the less dark version, I also made a lot of other changes, but some quotes nd scenes are straight from the show… because they were written so well XD
2. It’s Halloween in these chapters and their costumes are from the show and they’re actually what they looked like in the comics, it was Marvel little easter eggs, but in the show and chapters of course they don’t actually say that XD so instead they’re something different
Chapter 11
“You didn’t see that coming,” Pietro stated looking at Clint before falling to the ground, going pale.
Wanda fell to her knees, knowing the brother who had always been right beside her, who had always cared for her, wasn’t there anymore, and she could feel it.
Wanda’s powers spiraled out of her, destroying all the robots around her. Tears filled her eyes, as her heart broke into small shattered pieces.
Her other half was gone, and just like that, her brother and best friend was… gone.
Both Clint and Wanda remembered that day, the day they beat Ultron, the day they won, and the day they lost a hero.
The day Pietro Maximoff was lost.
Clint looked at the screen, and then at Wanda’s reaction. She looked shocked, not her fake shock, but an actual he wasn’t supposed to be here shocked.
It seemed like everything that had happened, had just been Wanda’s heart using the stones. And when reality hit her hard, she was reminded of it by hints and easter eggs.
And Bucky’s reminder of Pietro must have been the thing that brought him. A fake figment of the stones, yet so real, and so… him.
~*~
“Who is it?” Vision came up beside Wanda.
“My brother…” Wanda wanted to smile, but this didn’t feel right, yet he was her twin. The twin she had lost so many years ago.
“Am I not allowed to give my sister an unexpected hug?” Pietro said with a smirk.
Wanda hesitated and then fell into his arms, he wasn’t supposed to be here, not like this, but he was and no matter how fake he truly was, he couldn’t feel more real.
“You look great,” Pietro stated. “You look so happy,”
Wanda looked up at her brother, something still didn’t feel right, but she pushed past to enjoy her brother being here with… her.
“Who is it?!” Tommy asked with enthusiasm, coming up beside his mother. Billy came up to hold Vision’s hand, he was much more shy than his twin brother.
“It’s your uncle Pietro!” Pietro said gesturing his hands out in excitement.
Billy perked up, laughing, his uncle seemed so cool, and his white-tipped hair was awesome.
“I’m here to celebrate Halloween with you guys,”
“Yay!” the boys screamed at the same time.
~*~
“I wasn’t expecting the visit,” Vision stated entering the kitchen.
Wanda looked up at him, the boys were off with her brother. They seemed to like him, no, they loved him.
“Neither was I, but Pietro had never been the planner out of the family, he’s more of a go-with-flow kind of person,”
Vision let out a soft chuckle. Kissing his wife ever so lightly. “I suppose you’re right,”
“What should we wear tonight? For Halloween,” Wanda hadn’t ever had Halloween in this town, but it sounded like an opportunity to have some neighborhood fun.
“I’m not sure…”
“I think I’ll go as a Sokovian fortune teller, me and my brother used to love seeing them,”
“That sounds like a great idea,” Vision looked around, a little nervous.
“What’s wrong?” Wanda asked taking a sip of her soup.
“Nothing… I just fear your brother might be… a little too wild,”
“You think he might be and bad influence? I was worried about that, I’ll talk to him about it,”
“If you think that would be best,”
Wanda smiled at her husband. She grabbed his hand. “I will say though, the calmness is nice,”
“It is…” Vision squeezed Wanda’s hand.
Wanda closed her eyes, just enjoying the moment.
Chapter 12
“Where’s your costume, Tommy?” Billy asked looking at his twin, who was sneaking a cookie out of the jar.
“This is my costume, I’m the cool twin,” Tommy stated proudly.
“What does that make me?”
Tommy thought about the question. “Hmm… the Dorksaurus Rex,”
Billy rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. “Not a real dinosaurs,”
~*~
“Pietro wait,” Wanda stopped her brother before the entered the kitchen.
“What is it, sis?”
“It’s about the boys, me and Vision like them to be polite and… well-behaved, so tone down the pranks and craziness, I would hate for you to be a bad influence,”
“Oh come on Wanda, kids have to be kids, we sure didn’t get that,”
Pietro’s statement hit Wanda, he was right of course, but it still stung. “I know… but they can have a childhood and still be well-mannered,”
Pietro sighed. “Fine…”
“Where’s your costume?” Wanda realized that Pietro was just wearing jeans and a T-shirt.
“Oh right, I almost forgot,” Pietro left in a dash, leaving a blue streak behind, he came back in a matter of seconds. Wearing a costume and his hair was done too.
“It’s a little weird…”
“Weirdly cool,” Pietro said in his obvious tone.
“Hello darling,” Vision said entering the room.
“What are you?” Pietro looked at Vision’s very bright costume.
“A Mexican wrestler,”
Wanda held in a laugh, but Vision could see the smirk on her face.
“It’s all I could put together,”
Pietro and Wanda both looked at each other and then at the same time, laughed.
Vision scowled.
“I’m sorry hun, you look great,” Wanda stated grabbing her husband’s hand.
Thank you, but we should get going if we want time to really trick-or-treat,”
~*~
Wanda, Pietro, and Vision entered the kitchen, where the boys were. Tommy looked at Uncle Pietro.
“You’re wearing a costume?” Tommy asked gesturing to his uncle.
“Of course,” Pietro said with a bright smile.
“Be right back,” Tommy sped off, it was the first time he had actually used his powers which was being fast like his uncle.
He came back looking just like his uncle.
“Let’s go!” Billy gestured everyone out the door, excited to get candy.
~*~
After a lot of fun and games, Vision was with the boys, and Wanda was alone with her brother.
Something was horribly wrong, but Wanda didn’t know what it was, not completely.
Wanda looked at her brother. “Where’s your accent?
Pietro looked at his sister. “Where’s yours?”
Wanda went silent.
“I’m just glad you remembered what I looked like, after all, you’re bound to forget someday, you’ll probably forget all of us, someday…” Pietro said.
It hit Wanda, that this wasn’t the real Pietro. And she knew who it was, and it only made things worse.
“Who are you?” Wanda asked tilting her head, but she already knew the answer.
“Who do you think I am?”
“I thought you were my brother, but I realize now you are just my grief,” tears filled Wanda’s eyes. “Will I never be happy, even in a reality I control?”
“Do you really control it? Or do your emotions?” Pietro asked.
“I just want to be happy… that’s all I ask,”
“Wanda… maybe you should take it as a compliment that the world knows you’re so strong that you can handle so much more pain than most,”
“But I’m so tired,” Wanda leaned her head on her brother’s shoulder. “And I miss you…”
Pietro rested his head on top of hers.
“You were always there for me, I wouldn’t be who I am without… you,” Wanda let out a small sob. “My terrible childhood was so much less terrible with you…”
“I will always be here for you… you always have me,”
“But that’s the worst part, I didn’t have you, one lost has a way of reminding you of all your losses, and then it’s just overwhelming pain,”
Wanda let out another sob, this was the first time she had been so terribly honest in the fake reality.
“You need to give the stones back,” Pietro stated looking down at his sister.
“If I do, I lose my kids and everything else,”
“I know,”
Those were Pietro’s last real words before Tommy and Billy came running to them.
“Is something wrong Mom?” Billy asked, taking a seat next to her.
“No darling, nothing is wrong,” Wanda put on a forced smile.
“Then let’s go do the apple bobbing,” Tommy suggested.
Pietro smiled at his twin sister. A smile that Wanda could never forget, not ever.
~*~
Vision came into the living room. Looking serious, his wife was sitting on the couch but got up to look at her almost angry husband.
“What’s wrong?” Wanda asked with concern in her voice.
“I overheard your conversation with Pietro,”
Wanda’s face turned to fear. The boys were thankfully asleep, but Vision’s words could ruin everything.
“What am I, Wanda?”
“You Vision, are my husband and Tommy and Billy’s father,” Wanda stepped closer to her husband. “Please don’t ask more than that, for the truth is terribly tragic,”
“Wanda…”
“Please, don’t put me in terrible pain,”
Vision thought about this, compassion filling him. “Must I live my whole life being ignorant,”
Wanda’s lips quivered. “I’m afraid it’s the only way you can live,”
Vision wasn’t ready to drop this conversation, but seeing the grief it brought his love, he had no choice. “Okay,”

August 3, 2023 at 5:08 pm #152894@smiley SADNESSSSS
Why did you have to remind me he died???? I can’t get over her losing her brother like that.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
August 3, 2023 at 5:10 pm #152895I have a brother (younger, but that doesn’t matter), and tbh if that happened to me, and I had powers like that, I might destroy even more things than she did.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
August 3, 2023 at 5:22 pm #152902Yeah…
I have a brother too, and I agree
Wanda and Thor are the two avengers who have lost the most *cries* and they both lost their brother…
Ship idea XD
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAugust 3, 2023 at 5:26 pm #152904Wanda and Thor….
what
*Sanctuary Guardian meme music intensifies* (if you don’t know what that is, I’ll post it below, it’s just funny music with a confused tone to it)
lol that might actually be cool though.
On the ship topics, while watching the movies, every time Bucky and Nat beat each other up I remember they were a ship in some of the comics, and I wonder whether I should go that route and ship them.
BUT then I also really, really like Nat and Bruce together for some reason, so…..LET THE MENTAL SHIPPING WAR COMMENCE lol
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
August 3, 2023 at 5:39 pm #152907I KNOW RIGHT?! but I don’t know too much about Thor XD
Buck and Nat are pretty cool
I love Steve and Nat
but I did come up with a fanfic for… Bruce and Nat (which is weird because I don’t usually like them)
seriously I need a forum where I can post all my ship fanfics XD
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAugust 3, 2023 at 5:43 pm #152909@smiley Actually, Steve and Nat was the first Marvel ship I encountered, reading the back of some old Marvel animation about the descendants of the Avengers…..
I actually thought that was the only ship for him until I learned more.
Now he has virtually every girl in the MCU vying for him, lol.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
August 3, 2023 at 5:44 pm #152910I just ship the way the story looks like it’s going most of the time, unless there’s a serious reason why I wouldn’t.
or unless I already have an OC I’m shipping the character with.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
August 3, 2023 at 5:49 pm #152911Honestly the only girl I don’t ship Steve with is Peggy XD
which I have done before… but she’s just not my fav
Wanda and Natasha are probably my favorite for him
also, I really wanna try a Wanda and Loki Ship XD I’ve heard of the ship but I’ve never done it
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
-ThorneAugust 3, 2023 at 5:53 pm #152912@smiley LOL the one ship that actually happens is the one you aren’t a fan of…..
I can get behind that ship, mostly because it had enough potential to make it into the movies so…..
But I can also see the alternatives working out, so I don’t hold fast to one specific Steve ship.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
August 3, 2023 at 6:00 pm #152913Yeah…
the thing is I’m a marvel fan but… I’m not XD the movies aren’t as good as making fanfics about them
like it breaks my heart to think about what they did to Wanda, like her being a villain, okay but her being a really dark magic kind of villain, not alright with
and Steve and Peggy just bothers me because it’s not Steve and Nat or just someone from the future XD
Do me a favor…. Tell Cress I meant it
