Baby, It's Cold Outside: A Winter-Themed Shipping, Fluff, Romance, and Smut Meme (PG and R rated)

[foundparadise]

...or something like that. The winter can be cold and lonely, but if you have someone to share it with, it can be the most wonderful time of the year. This meme is pretty simple and straightforward: shippy situations for all your cold-weather needs. From the cute to the hot to the sweet to the cool, it's all here for you. Don't be shy! Get your Christmastime/holiday wonder on and tag someone completely new! It's like a gift you didn't know you wanted! -Comment with your character. Include information and preferences. There are two sets of prompts, G-rated and R-rated, so put whichever ones you're okay with somewhere in your comments so nobody tries to give you anything you're uncomfortable with. -Comment to other characters, using the RNG to determine the prompt. Or just wing it! -Have fun threading out your winter love! -Play nice and respect others. 1. Date: Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean you're stuck indoors. Go out and do something! Maybe this weather means the restaurants won't be so packed... 2. Ice Skating: Get on your feet and do some ice dancing! Hopefully, at least one of you knows what to do. 3. Playing in the Snow: It's not just for little kids. Make snow angels, snowmen, or indulge in a snowball fight! You can always warm up together afterwards. 4. Shopping: With some company, holiday shopping can be a bit more bearable. Unless, of course, one of you was dragged along against your will. 5. Baking: Cookies, cakes, pies, and candy! This is the season for making sweets, and two sets of hands are better than one. Then, enjoy your hard work. 6. Holiday Confession: Sure, it's not as traditional as a Valentine's Day confession, but telling someone you care for them around the holidays can be just as romantic. 7. Gift Giving: Show someone how much you love them by giving them a gift...or whatever it is that you picked up last minute at the gas station. 8. Warming Up: Snuggles and cuddles are the best way to get warmed up after a long day in the snow. Good thing you have your honey to give you some body heat. 9. Home for the Holidays: You haven't seen each other in a while, and you're finally 10. Mistletoe: Whether it's your first kiss or the kiss you share on your fiftieth anniversary, the mistletoe always gives you a chance. 11. Last Christmas: For whatever reason, it's your last holiday season together. Make it count! 12. Proposal: Surrounded by all your family and friends or just the two of you in front of a space heater: whatever the situation, now's the perfect time to pop that all important question. 1. Eggnog: Enjoy something a bit more grown up than just Christmas cookies. Of course, alcohol can make you more honest and more handsy. 2. A Bun in the Oven: The oven isn't the only thing that's getting turned on today. Find a new use for that whipped cream or maybe get into some foodplay. 3. Warming Up Another Way: You're just so, so cold. There's only one activity that can get your blood pumping. Maybe your life even depends on it... 4. One Blanket: The classic fanfic trope. The two of you have to share one blanket, and that kind of contact may make you want to share more. 5. Temperature Play: While heat is nice, the cool can put your senses to the test, and using a little ice or snow to liven up your love life can put your nerves and kinks to the test. 6. Dick in a Box: You couldn't think of a good enough gift, so you're offering up the gift of your lovin' instead. 7. Aphrodisiac Mistletoe: This mistletoe is a bit different than its tamer cousin. Aphrodisiac mistletoe makes whoever is under it want to fuck...hard, whether it be at your parents' house or the office Christmas party. 8. Naughty or Nice: So have you been a good boy or girl this year? If not, you'll get punished. Of course, Santa may not be able to come, so your lover will step in to dole out the "coal." 9. Reindeer Games: For your gift, you may have gotten some new "toys" you want to try out. Luckily, you have such a nice partner... 10. Just Love: Nothing kinky or overly sexy here. The two of you are inside on a cold day, and you just want to be together. Throw some logs on the fire and have a romantic evening by the fireplace. If you want to get really fancy, throw down a few furs and lay naked on them. 11. Thank You: Thank you notes for gifts are so cliche. Tell your significant other that you love your diamond ring another way.

Tony Stark | Marvel Cinematic Universe

[aggravated]

The morning after is fast in coming, leaving them curled together under the blankets super-heated by Bruce's natural warmth. Who needs a heating blanket when you have a Hulk? There's some sort of comment from JARVIS about Steve looking for them, but even Bruce just mutters 'mute' to the AI and slides his hands down the strong sexy arms holding him.

He wakes up when he actually feels like waking up, opening his eyes and taking JARVIS off mute by asking him to let in some sunlight.

Outside, the world has become a true winter wonderland. The skyline is softened by white, the sunlight gleaming off of it until it sparkled. "JARVIS," Bruce says softly, trying not to waken Tony, "could you put on some Christmas music? Maybe some instrumental? Even if it's Pandora." Thinking Tony wouldn't have any in his massive collection.

[starkingenuity]

Tony would say he has a massive everything if asked. There's some good classical music and softer stuff in his collection and anything anyone at the Tower wants to listen to is right at JARVIS' virtual fingertips.

Nat King Cole? Done and done. The AI just pulls it right out of it's online databanks and the Tower is piped through with the soft renditions of the Christmas Song.

It makes Tony stir, humming along into Bruce's ear.

He's already had the best Christmas he could ever want. This is just...icing on the cake.

[aggravated]

Tony, though most might not guess it, has a beautiful, low voice when he wants to sing. Bruce has been serenaded to the sounds of wrenches and metal and sparks when Tony starts singing along with something down in the labs. This, this though... is something private and soft and makes him smile for a different reason.

He stretches, their legs sliding against one another, and resettles so he's on his back which lets him look at Tony's face.

[starkingenuity]

"Everybody knows some turkey and some mis-- I hope we have turkey." Tony grins when Bruce just blinks up at him and gives him a kiss with closed lips so that morning breath does not douse him with a dose of noxious gas. He lays a hand on Bruce's chest, fingering strands of dark hair, and lets the tips trail down along his ribs.

It's a whole new moment for him. Desiring, needing, the magnitude that this relationship has become has taken nearly fifty long years. Bruce is family. He's perfect. And Tony wants no one else.

[aggravated]

"It's Christmas... where are we going to find turkey today?" Bruce murmurs, opening his eyes and watching Tony's fingers as they trickle down his body. It sends a little spark through him, one that surprises him through and through. It makes him stir, looking to Tony questioningly before relaxing back into the pillows. He often wants to touch Tony; this is just the other side of the coin.

[starkingenuity]

"Everywhere. Turkey's the staple of Thanksgiving and Christmas," Tony murmurs. "At least up here. I don't know about your crazy ancestors." Tony props his head up on his knuckles, watching Bruce as Bruce watches him. It's insanely romantic and for a man that has only ever played at romance, that's pretty amazing to actually want in his life. "Better question... I have a house full of people and no presents. Wanna come and be 'that guy' shopping Christmas morning at the only store open?"

[aggravated]

"...Tony, no one's expecting presents, and nothing's going to be open but maybe a convenience store or gas station." He folds a hand behind his head, propping his own head up. "I know turkey's the staple but like I said, nothing's open. Everyone's just happy to be together, as a group."

As a family. The Avengers have been turned into their own little very strange family.

[starkingenuity]

"You try being the multibillionaire and not give people presents on the most capitalistic holiday of the year," he laments, nosing Bruce's cheek as if that might work to get Bruce to agree to crawl out of this nice, warm bed with him and go out into the snow. "Do you really think the gas station might be open?"

What? Barton's bow could use an air freshener!

[aggravated]

"We're not going to the gas station, Tony!" Bruce isn't whining. Nope. It's warm and Tony's warm and this is beautiful and romantic and he's not getting out of bed right now. "You give them things all year long. Let it go."

Let it snow, let it snow, let it go~

[starkingenuity]

"Uh-- Maybe I could make them all something..." This is Tony letting it go by...you know..not letting it go. Sorry kids there are just some things he's not good at and that includes letting any idea that enters his mind go without a careful vetting procedure that just about always fails. "How long do you think I can retrofit that motorcycle Steve has? Half an hour? Conservative of course. I am a genius."

[aggravated]

"Don't you dare touch that motorcycle Steve has -- he loves that thing. None of us needs anything except a nice holiday with each other." Bruce shifts his weight until he can face Tony fully. "Let's go do something with everyone.. like build snowmen." That's tradition, right?

[starkingenuity]

"You...want to build a snowman? Banner, we're not five." He means that jokingly, but Tony Stark is not Mohinder Suresh. He's only just now realizing that he might have some sort of parental bone in his body. And none of that translates into doing childish or girly things. "How about we just spike the eggnog and eat cookies and build a fire and... Hey JARVIS, do we have any stockings in storage?"

"Twelve, sir."

"Good, get them out." Tony is going to play Santa after all. Well. Once Bruce lets him up.

[aggravated]

"Why do you have stockings anyway? And I bet the others will go out and build snowmen with me." Bruce would have pointed out that Tony tends to be the most childish person he knows.

Bruce shifts his body until he is actually sitting on Tony, smiling down at him. "You're determined to do this, aren't you?"

[starkingenuity]

Oh, well hello Doctor Banner. Tony approves. He sets his hands on the other man's hips and thumbs the edge of his pelvic bone. "Other than Thor, who looks like a twelve year old on steriods, I'm the oldest one here. That makes me the new Coulson. Sort of. You know, with more hair and better eyelashes." One hand moves up Bruce's chest and Tony actually bites his lower lip in enjoyment. "I want to give them a good Christmas. I don't think anyone remembers the last one they've celebrated."

[aggravated]

"Thor is mentally around Steve's age or maybe even younger, I think, in Asgardian terms. You're not the new Coulson, either." He rolls his eyes and leans over until their noses nearly touch. "Just be Tony. Figure out a Tony way to make this Christmas good for them."

Bruce slid out of the warm bed, despaired that he didn't have a robe up here, and went for the bathroom. He smelled like sex and sweat and the shower would be warm.

[starkingenuity]

Tony's a little too late grabbing Bruce's wrist. What, no Christmas morning encore? he asks mentally before he hears the shower start. That makes him laugh, but just for a moment before he joins his lover in the shower.

Bruce, of course, is finished first. Tony has a few different rinse cycles to complete. But Steve is in the kitchen, humming and, from the looks of it, cooking. If it's like his cookies, the meal will be interesting indeed.

[aggravated]

Pervert. But the shower seems to make up for it all.

Bruce is done, shaved, dressed, grabbed his tablet, and downstairs before Tony's even out. It's just something he's learning rapidly to accept because it's easier that way by far. "Morning, Steve," Bruce says cheerfully, sitting down at the table so he can read the news. What would Steve be cooking already?

[starkingenuity]

It takes a few hours to make a turkey, or so the recipe that JARVIS pulled up and the instructions on the bird tell him. He's mostly just anguishing over putting the bird breast up or down and if he should butter baste or honey glaze.

Steve slides into the chair across from Bruce and leans in, obviously needing so attention.

"I don't know how to cook," he hisses under his breath. "But I've already committed. This is going to be horrible!"

[aggravated]

Not what he was expecting to hear. Bruce lifts a brow and puts his tablet down. He only knows how to cook on a most basic level. "Steve, it'll be fine. Tony will love you for this as he woke up wanting turkey. How can I help?" Steve looks a bit like a confused pup when he's upset.

[starkingenuity]

Steve gives Bruce a look as if that might be some sort of euphemism. When Bruce just smiles, Steve relaxes, eyes bright and blue. "It's just...he gave me a home. You guys have become a family. I just want to do this right. So..breast up or down?"

[aggravated]

Steve had gotten all poetic and sweet then... what? He blinks at the soldier, trying to figure out where that came from. "What??" Breast up or down... He has no idea what Steve is talking about after talking about family and home.

[starkingenuity]

Defensive, Steve holds up both hands, his eyes widen. "I meant a chicken breast!" he whines, heart about to explode. Oh Bruce! Don't worry the poor man by making him think he's a pervert!

Tony, of course, doesn't help matters as he wanders into the room rubbing the water from his hair with a white towel. "I like any and all breast."

[aggravated]

Bruce is even more confused by all of this. "I thought we were talking about a turkey??" What is Steve even talking about?!

"Tony you aren't helping!"

[starkingenuity]

"Oh! Oh!" Steve's just babbling as Tony arches an eyebrow and, leaning down to kiss Bruce's cheek, just shrugs. "I like those too," he murmurs and heads off to get some coffee only to have the Super Soldier rush towards him, worried.

"Away! Out!"

"It's my kitchen! I need the go-go juice!"

"Out!"
