How are you here

by Worlds_we_Idolize

Mantis can feel others' emotions. What happens when she finally feels Tony's? or The original team all survive the snap, including Mantis. One way or another everyone ends up back in Wakanda and eventually back at the tower. The team soon learns of Mantis' unique abilities and wonder when they'll see them used on Tony. (Not really Team Cap friendly, ignores some loose threads from Infinity War, Tony Stark deserves happiness) (Has a lot of background stuff alluded to- up for interpretation- nonresolved ending)

tear me to pieces skin

by withered

Humans are very prone to emotion and are harder for it. Wanting to hide it away – wanting to pretend they’re infallible to it. Mantis thinks its either brave or stupid. Emotions, after all, are meant to be felt.Based off a tumblr ask that begged the question, "What would Mantis feel if she touched Tony?"

Don’t Have To Be Alive For Me To Care

by Toothinkididallthat

The Avengers noticed something was different with Stark the second he got back from space. The way Stark still had a bright smile plastered on his face and made jokes while coming up with battle strategies even though half of the universe was dead. They all wondered how such a man could exist that was so heartless. But they just assumed it was his way of coping with the craziness that was happening around them. Still, though they didn’t understand it, he hadn’t lost anyone. He still had his dear fiance Pepper and Rhodey, hell he even had his driver Happy. What could he possibly have to be sad about?

Dirty Laundry

by Skornheim

Mantis uses her party trick on Thor. It works out pretty good.-“Again with the human sexual hang-ups,” Drax said, a note of sad exasperation in his voice, like he was beginning to worry it could not be taught. “It’s the most natural, beautiful thing in the world for two shield-brothers to comfort one another the night before a coming battle or sate their lust after a great victory. I’m surprised they never consummated their bond.”“No, Drax,” Gamora said, sounding utterly exasperated. “They’re actually brothers. They’re related.”“Oh,” Drax said, frowning in comprehension, and then he began to make over-exaggerated retching noises, which were, really, just unnecessary, the goddamn drama queen. They all got it; he didn’t need to make this about himself.

by questionsthemselves

Mantis is drowsily chopping her broccolo into as close to perfect, even chunks as the knobby fractals will make, when she’s spooked by the quiet hiss of the doors sliding open. She spins around, knife held tensely to see Nebula frozen, watching her. Neither of them say anything for a moment, then Nebula says, “I’m better with that than you, you would not win.” Where in the quiet moments, Mantis and Nebula find each other.

and she dreams through

by questionsthemselves

Neblua touches her, and there’s a galaxy exploding in her mind, and dizzying, churning oceans in her eyes, and she falls a little in love. She’s often a little in love with the people she touches, feeling the tangled kaleidoscope of the very best and worst that person could be. But this…Before she can stop herself, she’s whispering, “You’re beautiful,” and then she’s clapping a hand over her mouth, hand springing back away from the perfect smooth seam where synth flesh met skin.  For Mantis, learning to people is hard but somehow being with Nebula never is.

with arms outstretched

by oceansoflove

“I don’t think we’ll have any problems with him,” Ego tells Mantis as he tucks her up in bed. “I am happy for you,” Mantis says. Her mind is racing. “Will he live here with us?”“Of course he will. And then you can finally have a brother. Haven’t you always wanted a brother?”Mantis gives a one-shouldered shrug. “Will I be able to leave my room?”“We’ll see, Mantis,” Ego says and kisses her forehead. “Good night, Mantis.”“Good night, Ego,” Mantis says.“I love you, Ego,” Mantis says.The lock clicks behind him.

Brittle Steel and

by GwendolynStacy

Mantis’ life with Ego had been pathetic and meaningless in every way. Nebula knew this. So did Mantis. So how was it that she could still be so infuriatingly nice to everyone?!Or: Nebula doesn’t do feelings. She’d rather stab someone. Preferably each and every miserable creature who dared to make Mantis feel anything but extraordinary.
