Gruff daddy Logan who is secretly a softie! Cuts stray fibers with his claws. Opens snacks with his teeth and methodically twirls an adamantium tip in a juice box hole because if he just jams it in there it’s going to explode.
He knows. He’s learned
Wade showing up at Xavier’s with, like, six kids street kids because ‘he found one’ and then ‘they made friends’ and ‘it’s wrong to separate them’
Kurt seeing himself in a devout child who curls up in the pews on a cold, lonely night. Or worse, sees them nabbing a few coins/bills from the collection plate and decides to give them something to eat instead of scaring them off or lecturing them.
He grew up around circus kids. He can take care of them! It’s like second nature!
Steve has unofficially adopted AT LEAST TEN KIDS before he went under the ice. These little scamps somehow always found a way into his shows and were the proudest fans he had (often times walking a long way). He remembers being a scrawny kid from Brooklyn that had to put newspapers in his shoes on cold days and just can’t turn his back on them!
That’s not the way Captain America does things!
He gets people to find their closest living relative (if any) and sets up savings bonds for them. Always carries snacks because someone’s going to need one. Peggy helps him carry around random bundles of clothes to give away.
When he wakes up from the ice and finally gets Buck back? These guys are supportive parent dream team #1! Bucky’s the frank one that tells the truth about the world. Steve attempts to sugarcoat it while indicating Bucky’s right and yes, the world sucks sometimes. Bucky shows the kids that you can’t judge someone for how they look (he looks ‘bad’ but is no longer ‘bad’) and shouldn’t assume that what you hear is right because you don’t know the whole story.
Steve is very encouraging. “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s how he fights.”
Stark doesn’t stop at one kid. He has the money to save so many. He doesn’t want kids to feel the emptiness he felt when his parents died. He doesn’t want to see society kill the light in their eyes.
Their hopes. Their dreams.
Stark tends to get attached to the underdogs. The kids who aren’t afraid to tell him to fuck off or outrun him. These kids have ingenuity and fight.
Smarts.
They’ll make it and he wants to help them. He knows they’re putting on a face and he’s ready to be there when they break down.
Soon it becomes a thing, and Stark Tower is like a revolving door for kids.
Especially with the Avengers.
Thor brings little Asgardians down to play and learn about Earth culture. Sometimes Sif or The Warriors Three will join him to tell stories and prove that they are, in fact, real.
Bruce Banner shows up on day, bashful, and says ‘This is Paoloma’. It’s some scrawny, rubble-dusty little girl he found halfway across the world when someone tried to jump him and he Hulked out. She toddled out, not knowing any better, and calmed him down. Hulk got attached to the tiny thing and, well, here he is…
And Clint? Clint’s the worst!
He wants to give all the children a home. When he and Nat go on missions and there’s a kid involved, they usually put them to sleep and drop them off at a relative’s house but more than once Barton has almost bailed and kept the kid with him.
Only Nat and Fury know.
Fury is just aggravated because now it’s like dealing with fifteen Tonys when he visits and some little girl with braids and a bean-filled Mjolnir just tried to hit him in the dick.
Bruce has set up a makeshift lab in Wakanda, while the world takes stock of their dead and Wakanda mourns for their king. Bruce isn’t doing anything important, but he needs to do something, so he studies Wakanda’s vibranium supply and attempts to keep Shuri busy.
Otherwise, the grief might just be too much for the both of them to bear.
Bruce also tries very hard not to think about Tony and what form of matter Tony may or may not be at this very moment. He’s only moderately successful.
It’s on the third day of the second week after half of the world has turned to ash that Thor brings Bruce a little green snake. Bruce is baffled, but he tried to be polite about it. Bruce is heartsick, though, so that makes everything a little harder.
Then Thor asks for Bruce to see if the snake is Loki, and it takes every bit of willpower Bruce Banner poses to not burst into tears. Thor is so strong and so keen to smile, he makes it so easy for everyone to forget that he has lost nearly everything.
Bruce pokes at the snake without any further complaints. When nothing happens, the grief on Thor’s face is unimaginable.
Bruce begins spending time with both Thor and Shuri, in a desperate attempt to combat his own grief by combatting theirs.
All the while, every second or third day, Thor brings Bruce a small green animal and asks Bruce to see if it his lost brother. Bruce checks every time, with care and precision, but the result is always negative. It’s awful for both of them, but Thor can’t seem to stop and Bruce doesn’t know how to make him.
This pattern holds for a few weeks, until Thor brings Bruce a beaten and battered lizard. It’d been burned somehow and it looked like one of its limbs had been badly broken. When Thor presents it to him, Bruce honestly isn’t sure if Thor had just brought the little thing to Bruce to see if it could be saved.
“Could you check?” Thor asks, the question quiet and hurt after so many weeks of negative results from Bruce’s prodding and poking.
“Of course,” Bruce says softly, adding his portion of the call and response.
He gingerly picks up the lizard, as the poor also looks like he’d been through the wringer, and gives him a quick once over. Bruce’d been right about the broken leg and the burns were pretty –
The lizard fucking turns into Loki. A damaged, burnt Loki who scuttles backward on a broken leg while spitting blood.
Thor bursts into tears. Bruce bursts out laughing. Everyone has their own way of processing grief and shock and grief turned into shock, apparently.
It’s later, when they’ve gotten Loki a little patched up, convinced Okoye not to kill Loki (”He tried to destroy the world!” she says – “He’s gotten better,” Bruce says), and Thor’s eyes were mostly dry, that Loki finally says through clenched, bloodied teeth:
“They’re in a pocket dimension.”
“Who?” Bruce whispers, stunned.
“Everyone. I told him he’d never be a god. He was just a warlord playing at being something powerful. He should’ve fucking listened.”
When you step outside and the sky darkens on a hot summer day and a wind picks up and the grass sways and your nose catches this scent of toasty warmth, sweet vegetation, and fresh rain that hasn’t yet hit the ground? That’s Thor. Thor smells like that all the time.
in infinity war loki survives and stays with thor but he’s just a snake the entire time just draped across thor’s shoulders and when they come to earth everyone is like hey thor cool snake how’d you get a snake in space and thor is like thanks it’s my brother
the avengers: wheres thor

(There aren’t enough Chris Hemsworth gifs so here’s some foreshadowing)
The bright white of a blank word document bore into your eyes, taunting you to write the goddamn essay that was due on Monday. Your fingers hovered over the keyboard, twitching in their effort to write something, but they couldn’t quite connect with your brain. You filtered through all the different ideas – the different ways to start and what topics to write about – but you couldn’t, for the life of you, settle on one idea. You squeezed your eyes shut and gently closed the laptop. You’d already written two essays today – that was probably your limit.
You had been studying for hours, but it was all worth it, because when you grabbed your phone and checked the time, you almost squealed with excitement. It was the Asgardians first game of the season and you were more than ready to let off some steam by participating in some good ol’ school-pride.
You were also looking forward to seeing Thor again – the star quarterback of the team. He and you had been friends since your first year, and it felt like you had been crushing on him since the beginning of time. You couldn’t help it – he was like a giant golden retriever puppy – he was always so kind and never let his popularity get to his head. The only problem was, he was completely clueless. The man couldn’t take a hint even if it smacked right in the face, so the two of you remained friends.
Jumping from your bed, you pulled a red jumper from your wardrobe. In big white letters on the back, it said: ‘God of Thunder,’ and you smirked to yourself as you pulled on the gift your friend, Peter, had given you at the end of last year. Peter, (or ‘Star Lord’ as he was referred on the field) had been one of your closest friends since childhood, so when he joined the college team and was initiated into the Asgardian frat house, you were looped into a crazy group of friends.
