Avengers Christmas

Christmas was, without question, the best time of the year. Even Loki secretly seemed to agree, judging by how hard he laughed after pelting Thor with a snowball. Sibling love, truly.

Outside, snow blanketed the city while cheesy Christmas carols played throughout the streets and Avengers Headquarters, courtesy of Peter Parker. Quill had officially been banned from controlling the speakers after repeatedly subjecting everyone to his questionable musical taste.

The common room was packed, with an enormous Christmas tree Tony had proudly brought in. Outside stood two rather unfortunate snowmen: an Iron Man one built by Tony, Peter, and Morgan, and another whose head had been nearly knocked off. Rocket was the obvious culprit, probably with Groot's assistance.

Inside, Carol was accusing Thor of cheating at board games while Loki threatened to turn him into a frog. Peter was being chased by Clint's kids and Morgan, while Tony and Rhodey discussed a ridiculous Christmas-themed Iron Man upgrade. Drax was questioning Quill about Santa's suspicious habit of breaking into people's homes, Steve reminisced about Christmas in the '40s, and Sam and Yelena were mercilessly criticizing the holiday rom-com playing on TV.

Jane and Valkyrie were enjoying drinks together, occasionally joining Thor and Loki's arguments, while Reed and Bruce discussed some scientific project at the dining table. Sue was helping Steve decorate the Christmas tree, and Johnny was outside having a snowball fight with Peter's enthusiastic little audience. Ben was sitting comfortably beside Rocket, watching the chaos while the two exchanged sarcastic remarks.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, you and Wanda were baking cookies, somehow managing to get flour everywhere. Bucky kept attempting to steal them from the cooling tray, earning a slap on the hand every time from you. Natasha watched from a stool, having been explicitly forbidden from helping. Nobody trusted her anywhere near an oven.
