Born to parents Roberto and Valentina Carbonell April 28, 1936, Maria grew up a calm and somewhat sheltered life. Her parents owned and ran a small vineyard that sold to the local townspeople, and the young woman was set to take over once married. Finishing school in 1954, her focus became the family vineyard and helping out her family in any way she could.
It wasn’t until she met Howard Stark at the age of seventeen when the charming man was on business in her hometown of Milan, Italy ( depending on the verse, she could have been in America instead ). Taking a liking to him quickly and easily, Maria left with him to go to the States, getting her citizenship in the country and eventually marrying the successful millionaire August 16th, 1963. She was many years younger than him, but she did not mind the age difference, though many believed she was only marrying him for his money; that could not be further from the truth.
On May 29th, 1970, Maria gave birth to their first child, Anthony Edward Stark, after having experienced two miscarriages. It was a miracle, really, and Maria doted on the young boy, even through his rebellious stages. However, she made sure to instill in him manners and a high respect for women, despite his eventual womanizing ways. With that said, he's never once looked down on a woman or insulted one, something Maria is proud of.
And then, December 16th, 1991, the whole world seemed to end, and quite literally for Maria. The assassination had been carried out by one of Hydra's best, James "Bucky" Barnes, and though the man made sure to end Howard's life, the Italian belle held on to just enough of her own, even though Bucky had nearly seen to it that her last breath was taken; he simply let go too soon. Knowing of SHIELD and Howard’s involvement by now, though, those that could still be trusted were able to locate and save her just before she crossed over permanently. Performing multiple emergency surgeries to save Maria, including injecting her with Kree blood/DNA, they eventually were able to, but not without odd side effects. The woman’s aging had been thrown off in the process, Maria now resembling her roughly thirty-six year old self. At this point, with only few SHIELD personnel knowing of the Hydra contamination within the organization, they knew they had to hide her from the public eye and anyone else’s eye, putting her in a safe house and forbidding her to contact anyone she’d once known.
It was hard and still is to this day, but Maria has gotten by for over two decades, keeping tabs on her son through SHIELD and through the media. However, she’s quickly growing tired of listening to SHIELD and is still being put under surveillance by SHIELD’s most trusted, even after the group’s fall. It’s only a matter of time before she defies their orders and reunites with Tony. She can only hope he doesn’t hate her for what she’s done to him. Maria would hate herself if she were in his place, but she doesn’t lose hope. No, not yet.
i only have a few rules when it comes to commissioning me, but i feel it best to put them before prices and services so that they're seen first! without further ado, here we go:
1. i accept payments only through PayPal. furthermore, i only take USD (US dollars).
2. i do not accept fan arts UNLESS you can prove to me you have the artists's permission to use said fan art, or the art was made specifically for you.
3. all of my prices are based on how long it takes me to complete what is requested. i've done these things long enough to have a relatively good idea on how long it'll take me to complete each "order", so again, all prices are based on how long it takes me to complete each order. i do not charge for content used.
4. i will take up to 4 commissions at a time for my own personal sanity, and any extras will be put on a waitlist.

Howard cannot imagine them ever b e i n g separated, as bad as their marriage has gotten, Maria is still his wife, and he still l o v e s her, marriages can be worked on, giving up was never an option especially not in this day and age. NO IT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE and Howard was a very proud man who would not e v e n consider it and yet if she ever left him would he be able to stop her?. It’s been f a r too long and he knows he has no one to blame but himself, because he had spent so long chasing after other women, for one night stands, women he had no emotional c o n n e c t i o n to whatsoever when he already had Maria at home, a woman he loved, who he was still very much attracted to. What kind of logic did he have for reasoning? As her fingers brush through his white hair, he makes the softest of sounds, brown eyes coming to a close as lips press to her neck, leaving little marks before his lips are captured in another deep and hungry kiss and god is he grateful that Anthony is at a friends tonight.The sounds Maria make are like music to his e a r s and Howard cannot get enough of them, ❝You are so beautiful❞ he feels as if the w o r d s do not do her justice, even when whispered as a truth, which it was, Maria only got more beautiful with a g e , like a fine wine and yet he felt the words did nothing to d e s c r i b e her beauty. She’s close, he can tell with the way her legs shake, the sounds she makes, her b r e a t h i n g which much matches his and he’s not sure he can last all that much l o n g e r either, it’s been so long since the pair of them have been intimate like this in a while and he’s overcome with emotion. There is time for making love later, this is hungry and n e e d y and desperate and Howard doesn’t regret any of it, especially when Maria pulls him into another kiss, which is almost violent.
maria can tell that he’s trying to make up for years of being unfaithful, of neglect, for the past few months as well, and while she forgives him without a second thought, maria will not forget. to do so would be foolish, and she’s lived most of her life as howard’s fool; no more. but as their bodies mesh with one another’s, the two of them consuming each other, maria will only kiss him more sloppily and desperately. she craves to be with him in this way at this point in their marriage, for though they love each other deeply, they do not have much else going for them aside from that and… this. their physical love and emotional love is what keeps them together. so as his compliment is spoken, his hips thrusting into hers repeatedly and almost shakily now, maria knows they’re both close to climax, and she wants nothing more than to reach it with him. they’re connected on a far deeper level than just physical, always have been, for what other woman can say they’ve tamed the howard stark? even if she’s loosened her hold on him as of late ( given his multiple affairs ), he’s still loyal to her in other ways, even if she’d prefer it to be in every way. ❛ h-howard…! i a-am so close… ❜ is her warning as she verges on release, walls spasming around his girth as he continues to slide in and out of her, her back hitting the wall repeatedly as digits tangle wildly in his hair and mouth devours his own. she intends on making this interaction worth their while, but it’s also done out of selfish reasons: a part of her hopes that this will convince him to remain faithful to her. that he’ll realize he doesn’t need the others. but at the end of the day, she knows it’s silly to hope for something like that.
