 (From kaci1ynn: Butterfingers is an active member of girl’s night in the tower. Nat always let’s her paint her nails and doesn’t mind when she messes up, Pep just gets out the nail polish remover :))

Aw, this is adorable. The bots really don’t interact enough with Nat, do they? I think once Nat understood that Tony looks at the bots as his children, she’d definitely appreciate that they deserve love and attention, and I bet Pepper would find it adorable.

 (From Reioka: Hello I am here. How about dual Steve/Tony and Pepper/Nat but they're not out because it could hurt the company so for events Tony shows up with Natasha and Pepper with Steve. There's a huge hubbub in the media over who is the cuter couple--Sweet As Pie Steve and Pepper (lmao the public have no idea how wrong they are) or Suave, Sexy, and Terrifying Tony and Pepper (lmao same). Natasha and Steve are unexpectedly competitive about it. Tony and Pepper don't understand but think it's hilarious.)

*narrows eyes* I think one of those Peppers was supposed to be a Nat. But let’s go!

See the really fun thing with this is they switch up every now and then. Nat will hop over to Tony’s arm and Pepper will grab Steve’s and then the media really has a time of it: Tony Stark’s Redhead Addiction. Steve Rogers Steals the CEO, Natasha Romanov: Actual Black Widow? Pepper Potts: Use ‘Em and Lose ‘Em Cougar. Tony thinks the headlines are fucking hilarious, as does Nat. Pepper tolerates them but rarely comments because she’s classy like that. Steve, of course, is mortified to be accused of essentially trading girlfriends, but he tolerates the madness because it amuses Tony and Nat so much.

He never expected to get into the madness himself. “American as Apple Pie? They do know you’re Russian, right?”

“Since when have the tabloids ever cared about accuracy.”

“We need a different headline.”

“Oh? How far do you want to push it?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Public Indecency: Romanogers Frisky on the Red Carpet. Well,” Tony wolf-whistles and Steve blushes redder, “I confess I wasn’t expecting Steve to be the one to get exposed.”

“I don’t even know how she got my shirt off.”

Nat, sitting placidly in Pepper’s lap, smiles slyly. “Trade secret.”

“I do have a beef though,” Tony says. “How come you guys get a cute celebrity nickname. Why don’t we have one of those Pep?”

“Because we’re not really dating?”

“As far as the media knows.”

Tony frames the next cover in the entertainment room: Po-rk: Tony Stark and Virginia Potts Hot Sex Tape Revealed.

“You are the most incorrigible boyfriend,” Steve groans, biting Tony gently on the shoulder.

“You love it.”

Bruce Banner is a troll and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. At press conferences, he regularly growls and grunts into the microphone when he starts hearing a few too many questions he doesn’t like, and then plays it off like an accident. “Ms. Romanov, you have an absolutely fantastic figure. Tell us about your diet regimen!”

*snort, growl, cracking of knuckles* “I’m sorry, I was interrupting your incredibly rude question.”

“Mr. Stark, do you honestly expect us to believe that you, a well-documented drunken playboy, have truly reformed yourself?”

*growl, grumble, bare teeth, cough* “Oh. I’m sorry. I was just feeling a little…irritated.”

Avengers press conferences soon become the least newsworthy events on the planet because most of the reporters are too terrified to ask more than, “So what did you have for breakfast today?” Soon, the press conferences cease altogether.

Natasha is the first one to move into the tower, and she doesn’t sneak in. She knocks like a normal person (if you can call asking JARVIS to let her in ‘knocking’), a half-starved, limping Clint draped over her shoulder. Tony welcomes them in without a word and immediately calls for takeout. By the time he gets back from the kitchen, Natasha’s passed out on the couch, Clint in her lap.

----

For months after Bucky moves into the Tower, the only person he’ll speak with is Natasha, and then only in Russian. Strangely enough, it’s kind, jovial, Thor who shimmies in through the cracks of someone who badly wants to be human again. And he does it in true Asgardian fashion, by challenging him to an arm wrestling contest.

----

When Natasha finds out Steve doesn’t know how to dance, she makes it her new goal to introduce him to every fad that’s appeared since he went down in the ice. Steve never takes to the lessons, but (perhaps unsurprisingly) Thor and Vision both become avid swing dancers.

----

Every once and a while, the ladies of the tower need time away from the sausage fest. There’s an annual poker night whenever at least four of them are in New York at the same time. Pepper, Hill, Nat, Helen, Jane, Darcy, Wanda, and on rare occasion Lady Sif, sitting around a table, drinking wine and champagne, eating chocolate, and pretending that they can beat Natasha at cards.
