A new way into Marvel fanfiction
Between the missions and the world-ending stakes, there are meals, misunderstandings, and conversations that never made it onto the screen. A Marvel fanfic can make those missing moments the center of the story.
Start by choosing which continuity you are using. Film, comic, and alternate-universe versions of a character can have different histories; tell the writer what matters for your scene.
Build the scene before the first sentence
- 01
Choose a continuity and a point in time
Specify an MCU-inspired setting, a particular comic run, or your own AU. List the events that have already happened, especially if your premise changes who is present or what they remember.
- 02
Let the mission expose a relationship
A broken communicator, a safe-house delay, or an unexpected civilian responsibility can force characters to rely on each other. Give the external problem an emotional consequence.
- 03
Leave room for the aftermath
Hurt / Comfort works best when care feels specific to the characters. Who fixes the equipment, who makes tea, and who cannot quite ask for help? Small choices can establish a voice.

Can I mix Marvel characters and an original character?
Yes. Enter your original character in either field, then describe their background, abilities, and connection to the other character in the prompt bunny.
Can I change major events for a fix-it story?
Yes. State what changes and what stays the same. An outline is a useful first step for checking how that change affects the rest of your story.
