LASTING IMPRESSION: Little Lucia isn't very impressed by this whole superhero thing - she thinks they're kinda dumb - but that all changes when she finds herself trapped in the school bus with a rampaging monster on the loose outside. Who should come to the rescue but Black Widow and Hawkeye.

A TRIP TO THE COMIC BOOK STORE: Little Lucia (who is thirteen, and not little anymore, thank you very much) loves superheroes, and she can't wait to get to the comic book store to find costumes for Black Widow and Hawkeye. There's only one problem... There are no costumes for Black Widow and Hawkeye, and the guy at the cash register refuses to take her seriously.

THIS IS HALLOWEEN: Little Lucia and her friend Julie set out to make a Halloween costume. Predictably, complications arise. (Bonus: fanart.)

A TRIP TO THE COMIC CONVENTION: Adrian is too old for superheroes anymore, a fact his little sister, Lucia, won't stop pestering him about, so when he gets roped into driving Lucia and her friend to a comic convention, he expects to spend the whole day bored out of his mind. Things don't turn out exactly as he planned.

THE MAN IN THE SUIT: Coulson pays a visit to the little comic book store on the corner of Union Avenue and runs into a certain cashier.

FURTHER ADVENTURES IN THE COMIC BOOK STORE: Spring Break has just begun for Lucia, Julie, and Adrian, and they've decided to take another trip to the comic book store where, amidst rising tensions over the proposed Registration Act, they meet a man in a suit who may not be as bland and bureaucratic as he appears.

DEAR AGENT COULSON: Lucia finally gets the opportunity to thank Hawkeye and Black Widow for saving her life all those years ago.

BLACKHAWK AND THE FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN: Lucia thinks she's in for a grueling day of driving lessons with her father until a certain web-slinger crashes into the hood of her car.

THE MAGPIE: It is the year 20XX. The old guard has either died or retired from the business. A new generation of heroes has taken their place, and little Lucia is all grown up now... a fact AIM is about to discover the hard way.

THE COMIC BOOK STORE AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE: Lucia and Friends have no idea what's about to hit them when a giant spaceship appears over Manhattan. Whatever happens, things will never be the same again.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST ARCHER: It's the last round of the junior state archery competition, and Lucia is up against her. Her nemesis. They've been rivals ever since they were little, but she manages to win every state championship they compete in together. This year, Lucia is determined to change that. This year, she will finally beat Kate Bishop.

A MULTIDIMENSIONAL MATTER-ENERGY PHASE SHIFT: First, while out as Blackhawk, Lucia stumbles into something she can only describe as a ghost, and now... Everywhere she looks, she sees more of them—more of the Corrupted—and she can't help but believe the two things are connected. As her panic grows, so too does her certainty: she alone can see this corruption, which means she alone can stop them... or die trying.

NSFW: While I may be an adult, I’m not comfortable rping sex in detail, especially since these characters all originated as kids. If sex does happen, it’ll be a fade-to-black situation. Other forms of nsfw, such as blood, gore, etc., are alright and will be tagged as triggers.

GODMODDING, METAGAMING, ETC: Standard stuff. Don’t do it. I’m pretty lenient with this sort of thing, though, since I know people make mistakes sometimes.

SHIPPING: Under normal circumstances, I’m fairly flexible about shipping as long as the two characters are of similar age and I think they have chemistry. However, since these muses originated as characters on Ao3, I already have "canon" endgame ships planned out for them, so I might be more selective with shipping here than I would with other characters I write.

SELECTIVITY: Come one, come all! I generally only rp with people who I follow, but if that’s not the case, feel free to drop me a line and I’ll more than likely be happy to rp with you. That said, I do reserve the right to choose not to rp with someone for whatever reason.

MEMES: A weird little quirk of mine is that I make a distinction between ask memes and rp memes on my blog: ask memes are OOC questions about the muses, while rp memes are IC interactions. Anyone can send in ask memes, but rp memes are generally only for my rp partners. You’re more than welcome to use an rp meme to initiate an rp partnership, though. Feel free to use me as a meme source as well.

FORMATTING/STYLE/PLOTTING: Pretty much anything goes. One-liners, paragraphs, dialogue only, fully plotted starters, off the cuff interactions—I’m fine with anything. I use 100x100 icons and no fancy formatting, but I’ll try to match whatever formatting/style you’re using.

MULTIMUSE: This is a multimuse blog, so if you send/tag me in stuff please specify who your intended recipient is. If not, that’s fine too, and I’ll probably just default to Lucia unless someone else sparks my muse. I might forget to specify in asks I send you too, in which case feel free to pick whoever you want. (Sorry, I can be pretty forgetful sometimes.)

TRIGGERS: I personally don’t have any triggers, but I try to tag the common triggers as “____ tw”. If you have any specific triggers you need tagging, just message me, on anon if you need to, and I’ll make sure to tag it. If I forget to tag something, a) I’m so sorry, and b) just shoot me a message and I’ll fix it.

GIANT-SIZE LITTLE MARVEL: Lucia is a middle schooler on a mission: become a teen superhero. Why? When she was ten, Hawkeye and Black Widow saved her school bus from a rampaging monster, and it changed her life forever. She’s a little foggy on the hows and whens of becoming a superhero, and her efforts to do so mostly involve reading a bunch of comic books with her best friend, Julie, and trying to convince her older brother, Adrian, to get back into superheroes. He claims he’s too old for superheroes now, but really his high school crush just thinks they’re lame. Meanwhile, a girl named Bridger has been handed over to Hydra in secret for accidentally setting a certain rampaging monster loose on the streets of Brooklyn.

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS: Adrian has rediscovered his geekiness with the help of “she’s not my girlfriend” Jackie, a cashier at the local comic book store, which just so happens to be the same store frequented by Phil Coulson, former director of SHIELD. Now in high school, Lucia starts a correspondence with him that quickly leads to a guaranteed spot in the newly reinstated SHIELD Academy once she graduates. She’s learned archery and taekwondo, and with a little training she knows she would make an excellent agent. Meanwhile, Julie runs a superhero news blog, and Adrian frets about college and a long distance relationship with “she’s not my girlfriend” Jackie. Bridger has been forged into a weapon still under Hydra's thumb.

DUST IN THE WIND: Infinity War. Julie and Jackie are gone, and the Castillo siblings, like the rest of the world, have to pick up the pieces of their broken lives. Adrian drifts away from the world of superheroes again—it reminds him too much of Jackie—and buries himself in his schoolwork at NYU. And Lucia? Lucia becomes Blackhawk. She lets her schoolwork fall by the wayside as she dons a black hoodie and a domino mask and roams the streets of NYC, her bow and arrows slung over her back, in search of villains to fight. Eventually, Lucia scrapes by enough passing grades to graduate high school and joins SHIELD, while Adrian graduates from NYU with honors and joins a minor league baseball team. Meanwhile, Bridger has used the chaos of the Snap to escape, and she wants revenge not only on Hydra but on the whole human race.

AFTER THE END: Julie and Jackie are back after the events of Endgame, and they have to adjust to a world five years out of sync with them. Julie finishes her last two years in high school, while Lucia’s already a fully-fledged agent of SHIELD. Instead of pursuing a college degree as her parents (and, previously, Julie herself) expected, Julie joins Lucia at SHIELD right out of high school as a speechwriter/Sci-Tech trainee. Bridger lands on SHIELD's radar, and Lucia is assigned to the team tasked with taking her down, but the more she uncovers about Bridger's past the less she wants to hurt her. Meanwhile, Jackie drops out of college and moves in with Adrian to recover from the Snap. She starts a comic book YouTube channel to pass the time, which eventually gains enough followers to catch the eye of a major comic book publisher.

IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU: After Lucia unintentionally kills her CO in the Bridger investigation, she and Bridger go on the run and track down the last of Bridger's targets for Lucia's redemption. SHIELD hesitantly allows her back after a suspension and probationary period. Julie, in her relief at getting Lucia back, acts on the feelings she's been trying to ignore for over a year now. Inspired by Julie, Adrian finally does what he's wanted to do since the Snap, and he and Jackie get married. Bridger sticks around and becomes one of the good guys, though she'll never join SHIELD due to her history with its previous incarnation... Despite the rocky start to things, Lucia and Co. are happy.

MAGPIE (future!verse): It’s the year 20XX, and little Lucia’s all grown up now, with a new name, a new job title, and a new suit. The old guard has either died or retired from the business, and a new generation of superheroes have stepped up to the plate. Going by Magpie now, and wearing a suit made up of elements from several different heroes instead of just Black Widow and Hawkeye, Lucia’s a New Avenger!

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN (variant!verse): So far, there have been three variants of Lucia that have caught the attention of the TVA. The third and most significant of them emerged at the end of the Bridger investigation, when Lucia's CO ordered her to kill Bridger and, when she refused, pulled out a gun to do it himself. Lucia hesitated a second too long, and because of her inaction, Bridger was killed. This time, the TVA pulled her aside during her processing to question her about Bridger, whose Variant had just warranted an investigation by an analyst. They gave Lucia an ultimatum: either assist in bringing Bridger's Variant to TVA justice or be reset. Lucia begrudgingly chose to help.

HARRY POTTER AU: Lucia and Julie have been best friends since they first met each other in the Gryffindor first years’ dorm. Adrian is Hufflepuff’s star Keeper, and Jackie’s a Ravenclaw hatstall. (This verse can be worked into any era for convenience. I can also put them in Ilvermorny, the inferior Hogwarts knockoff, since that’s technically where they’re supposed to be.)
