[apollocabinrep]

Dear Bianca,

Writing letters is a lot harder than mamma made it seem. I think if the nymphs saw how much paper I've tossed away, they'd throw me in the lake. I'm staying at camp now, so I've made it easier for them. We have our own cabin, well I do. Annabeth said you would never get to be in it, because of joining the Hunters.

Some part of me wants to be mad at you for leaving me- both dying and choosing rebirth, but we both know I'm not, not anymore at least. I just really, really miss you. I took have mia sorellona for granted. I can't blame you for wanting to leave me though, I was a really annoying kid. And I didn't realize how hard putting up with annoying kids were until I got "stolen" by the Apollo cabin.

My boyfriend, yeah I have one of those now, Will has two younger siblings, Austin and Kayla. Between me and you, Austin is my favorite. They're not 10 year olds obsessed with Mythomagic but Gods, Bi, I have no idea how you did it. They're not bad, just exhausting to be around sometimes. Actually so is Will. Bi, he is making me catch up on films, though people now just call them 'movies'. It's a weird word, but apparently I'm old for preferring to call them films.

We have another sorella, too. Her name is Hazel and she's Roman. She's helped me through a lot. At first, I saw her as a replacement for you, but truthfully, I'm really happy to have Hazel as herself. You two are really different, but I couldn't be happier for it. That's a weird thing to think about, huh. Was I really a happy kid, Bi? After everything I've been through, it feels like I'm just now getting to be happy, but I know I was happy to have you in my life.

I really wish you hadn't gotten that stupid figurine. It wasn't worth your life. I would've much preferred my sister coming back alive, but I can't change the past. I have a best friend now, I think. His name is Jason and he's kind of annoying. He left with his girlfriend Piper to go find their recently undead friend Leo. He also builds shrines for the Minor Gods, which is pretty cool. It hopefully keeps them from trying to kill us, and he is really excited about it.

Gods, Bi, nothing this good ever lasts long for me. It's terrifying and I wish you were here to give me a hug. Healing is really hard and if you knew the language I've started to use you'd be grabbing soap with a horrified face. I wish you could meet everyone. Not Leo. I'm still mad at him for pulling his dying not dying trick.

Do you think you'll remember me after your next life? I hope so. You don't have to worry about me so much. I plan to fight for this life I have. Everyone is insufferable, but they aren't bad people.

Your fratellino,

Niccolò

A Man After Midnight | Spencer Reid

Add yourself to my taglist! | Here’s my masterlist!

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader

Warnings: A little bit of angst, mention of alcohol use, fainting, fluff, not proofread

Author's note: Spencer Reid; king of destroying relationships, it seems. (Read You Knock The Wind Out Of Me to get this reference lmao)

Words: 2.614

Spencer and y/n have been best friends since they could remember. While everything around him was changing; him going through his education quicker than anyone has ever been able to, him moving to Washington D.C., him getting into BAU… Everything happened with y/n right by his side. 

She was a constant. 

They were twenty-nine when y/n got engaged to her boyfriend of one year, James. Though Spencer wasn’t the biggest fan of James, he could see how happy he made his best friend. She wanted to marry him and no matter how much Spencer told her he disliked the guy, he couldn’t stand in the way of her happiness. 

That was why he was the one to organize her bachelorette party, unbeknownst to y/n. Her sister was her maid of honor, she was the one that was supposed to organize it. But Spencer insisted on it. After all, he was the one who knew her the best. Her sister would just hire a stripper and call it a day, but that wasn’t what y/n wanted. 

Y/N wanted a bachelorette party akin to Sophie Sheridan’s in Mamma Mia. 

Ever since it came out two years ago, y/n had been obsessed with the musical movie. Every time they watched it together – which was a lot – she’d tell Spencer she wanted a party like that at one point in her life and that he wasn’t a true best friend unless he made it happen for her. Of course she was only joking, but when the opportunity arose, Spencer took it. 

With the help of his friends – who had become y/n’s friends too – he managed to pull it off. 

Of course it wasn’t on a remote Greek island and her mother wasn’t in a band. Neither did she not know who her father was. But other than that, Spencer, JJ, Emily and Penelope managed to pull it all off. From the setting to the decorations to the ABBA-centered playlist Penelope curated. 

Spencer was excited for her to see it. 

But then again, maybe he didn’t want to be the one to see it. Maybe he didn’t want to be the one to organize it. Maybe he wanted to be the one his friends organized a bachelor party for, parallel to her bachelorette party. Maybe he wanted to be the one to marry her. 

Not James. 

“She’s gonna love it, Spence,” JJ complimented as all four of them admired their work. 

Spencer offered his friend a thankful smile, even though he couldn’t muster up the thankfulness. He felt terrible for feeling this way. He should be happy for his best friend. He should be celebrating. But he was actually dreading this night more than anything. 

Even more so when he saw something he wasn’t supposed to see. Something that angered him to the fullest, yet there was nothing he could do about it. It was James’ word against his and no one was going to believe the love-sick puppy who had been accused of trying to sabotage the relationship in the first place. 

Though seeing y/n’s smile widen when she arrived at the party was a great consolation prize. Her face lit up entirely as her eyes scanned the sight before her. Even a couple of tears rolled down her face as she took all of it in. 

There had never been a prettier picture than watching her cry her happy tears over her surprise bachelorette party. Spencer wanted to take a picture and keep it in his wallet, just so he could look at that beautiful, radiant smile of hers forever. 

As the guests started to dance around to the ABBA-music playing, Spencer stood near the bar to watch everything happen from afar. Y/N danced with her friends from college, her co-workers, Spencer’s co-workers, … She hadn’t even noticed him standing there, not that he wanted her to. If anything, he wanted her to ignore him for the entire night and enjoy herself whilst he sulked by himself. 

“You’re just gonna stand here and watch her all night?” Penelope asked, nudging him with her shoulder when she came to the bar to top off her drink. 

Gazing into his drink as it swirled around in the glass, Spencer chuckled softly. “I don’t know… Maybe it was stupid for me to do this and to attend… I just– I don’t know what to do, Penelope. I’ve told her a billion times that I don’t like James and she marries him? What kind of a friend am I to let that happen?” 

“A friend who doesn’t want to stand in the way of her happiness,” Penelope responded with a dose of honey wrapped around her words. 

“And what did get me?” 

Before Penelope could answer, the volume of the music increased and y/n’s friends and colleagues formed a large circle around her. The guests started singing along to the song, which Spencer deducted to be Voulez-Vous, the Mamma Mia version instead of the original ABBA one. He didn’t even know what was happening until they all started to dance the same choreography. This wasn’t something he had planned, but it was seemingly a surprise for y/n as the men from the bachelor party swung into their party, just like in the movie. 

Y/N was quick to find James, who held out a necklace for her. Smiling, y/n turned her  back towards James, allowing him to put the piece of jewelry on her. When her eyes landed on Spencer’s, she offered him a wide grin, which he weirdly didn’t reciprocate. Y/N wanted to walk up to him and ask what was wrong, but James quickly twirled her into a dance. 

“I’m gonna go talk to Spence,” she told her fiancé. 

James grasped her tighter against him. “Let him be, baby.” 

The venom in his words and tone was quickly detected by the ever-perceptive best friend of the BAU’s resident genius. After years of following Spencer’s adventures at the BAU and hearing all about his cases and how he helped them get solved, y/n got familiar with a few profiling skills. 

She grabbed his hands and pried him off her. “I’m gonna talk to Spence,” she said a little more determinedly before turning on her heel and making her way over to the bar where Spencer was removing himself from. 

It looked as though he was leaving. 

“Hey, where you going? I haven’t danced with you yet,” she said, almost carefully. 

Spencer offered her a soft smile as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. “I-I’m a little tired. I think I’m gonna head home.” His eyes darted towards something behind her, the fire behind them prominent enough for y/n to notice. 

“What?” She almost whined. “Spence, this is my bachelorette party and I wanna celebrate that with you.” 

He simply shook his head. “I can’t be here and celebrate you tying the knot with someone who doesn’t even love you.” His voice was leveled, not once did the volume of his voice increase. It was steady, determined, just loud enough for her to hear over the music. 

“Spence…” 

“Y/N, I saw him today. He was making out with one of your bridesmaids behind the hotel. I didn’t want to say anything because who’s gonna believe the guy that’s been in love with you since forever and has actively tried to talk you out of dating him because he doesn’t like James?” The words rolled out of him like a fast train making its way to its next station. 

“Spence…” she tried again, her voice nothing more than a whisper. 

Though she did catch his declaration of love, her mind was spinning over the fact that he had seen her fiance kissing one of the bridesmaids. The two pieces of information clashed together and simultaneously chased one another in her mind that she didn’t know which to react to first. 

“I know I’m supposed to be your best friend, y/n. But how am I supposed to support this marriage?” he said gently, not noticing how y/n’s head was spinning and she wasn’t paying much attention anymore. “I-I just… I’m sorry…” 

He offered her an apologetic smile before turning on his heel and leaving her alone. With her mind going at a hundred miles an hour, y/n turned back to the party. James was gone. Spencer had left. And for some reason, she didn’t recognize anyone else. 

“Hey, you doing okay?” asked Emily when she found the bachelorette in a daze in the middle of the dancefloor. But before y/n could answer the brunette, Emily was taken into the circle that twirled around y/n again. 

It was the perfect metaphor for how her mind was spinning right now. She tried to keep up with the inner circle that was James making out with another woman. It made her wonder how many times he had done that before tonight. While she also couldn’t ignore the outer circle; Spencer admitted that he was in love with her. A sentiment she had shared when they were eighteen, but she ignored it since he was focussing on his third pHd and she didn’t want to be a distraction. 

Conversations overlapped, faces faded in and out of her peripheral vision. 

Then suddenly, everything came to a halt and she blacked out. 

The inner circle – Emily, Penelope, JJ, her sister and her best friend, along with James’ brother and best friend – rushed over towards her to get her to wake up while the outer circle fawned over her as well. 

“Give her some space!” Penelope shouted and started pushing people back, James’ brother doing the same. “Boy genius!” she called when her eyes landed on Spencer, who had rushed back when he heard the commotion. 

“What happened?” he asked, kneeling down next to her and propping her head up. 

“I-I don’t know,” JJ answered. “She was dancing and suddenly she collapsed.”

Emily shook her head. “She wasn’t dancing though. Something was wrong with her. She looked distraught, confused… Something was going on in her head…” 

Spencer felt guilty. Him telling her about James being unfaithful towards her might’ve overwhelmed her. He should’ve just kept his mouth shut, but then she would’ve just walked right into her own unhappiness. She would’ve found out about James one way or another anyway. 

Her eyes fluttered open and though her eyesight was still a little fuzzy, she could make out the familiar features of her best friend’s sharp face and plump lips. A tender smile crept onto her face. “Spence,” she whispered. 

“Yeah, I’m here, y/n/n. Are you okay? You wanna try sitting up?” She nodded her head carefully as he helped her sit up, using his body for her to lean into for support. “You doing okay?” 

She looked at him, her eyes getting used to the darkness. “Yeah, I–” she stopped and looked around. “Where’s James?” 

Spencer almost felt disappointed she was still asking after him but y/n had another idea. When she looked at James’ brother and best friend and noticed how their expressions had changed from worried to guilty, she knew enough. 

The girl wriggled the engagement ring off her finger and handed it to James’ brother. “Go get your brother and get him home. Tell him to come pick up his stuff tomorrow and to never, ever call me again.” She got up from the ground, using Spencer to lift herself to her feet. “Everyone else, leave.” 

As Penelope, JJ and Emily tried turning on their heels too, she stopped all three of them. They looked at her with an incredulous look, confused about why the bachelorette wanted them to stay. 

“Since you helped set this up, we might as well enjoy it… Call Morgan, Rossi and Hotch, too. We can’t let a good party go to waste.” 

Everyone filed out of the party, confused murmurs floating through the night sky. Y/N took this opportunity to turn to Spencer, her best friend since forever. Suddenly, she saw that eighteen-year-old she fell in love with before her. The honey eyes, the plump lips, the long curls. All of it reminded her of the pure bliss she felt whenever she was with him. 

It was something she had never really felt with James. 

“You were right,” she told him. “I-I should’ve listened to you before when you said you didn’t like him. I should’ve walked out on him when he told me he wanted to be with me forever after week two.” A soft chuckle left her lips. 

“You couldn’t have known, y/n/n.” 

Placing a hand on his cheek, she pulled herself closer towards him. “What I do know is that you’re the one who’s always been there for me. You were there for everything. The good, the bad, my ugly braces-and-zits phase when I was fourteen,” she grimaced at the memory, causing Spencer to let out a laugh, too. 

“I thought you looked cute with your colorful braces,” Spencer cooed bashfully and y/n positively melted. 

“You, Spencer Reid, are the fortune at the end of the rainbow. You help me chase the shadow away. And I–I love you. I don’t think the crush I had on you when we were eighteen was ever gone.” 

His eyes widened in surprise. “Y-you had a crush on me?” 

“Very much so.” 

“Why didn’t you tell me?” 

Her arms wrapped around his neck while his snaked around her waist. There was a boost of confidence that guided him, something that y/n had never seen in him before but she very much liked it. 

“PHD number three,” she muttered with a shrug. “And after that, you were busy with the FBI academy and then came the BAU, so I just… Left my feelings for what they were…” She let out a deep sigh. “But I can’t keep it in anymore, Spence. Maybe it’s your confession earlier or the realization James has been cheating on me on the down-low, but something re-sparked these feelings or something. So, I–” 

Spencer shut her up. He shut her up by crashing his lips to hers, surprising her with a long-awaited kiss. At first, she was surprised, but it didn’t take her long to figure out what was happening and melting into him. 

“Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight!” the speakers blasted, louder than before, and it startled the couple. When the two broke apart from their entanglement, they found Spencer’s co-workers and y/n’s sister staring at them with wide grins on their faces. 

Derek, Aaron and David had arrived while Spencer and y/n were focused on each other and now all of them just wanted to party. 

David rose a glass to the sky. “To Spencer and Y/N,” he said whilst Penelope handed y/n and Spencer their own drinks so they could join in the celebration. 

“And to bachelorette parties being hijacked by the BAU,” y/n’s sister called out, earning a confused glare from the others. “What? I don’t like her co-workers.” 

A collective laugh filled the night sky, giving the starting shot for their own party. This time around, Spencer did dance with y/n. In fact, he kept her so close at all times that Penelope and JJ had to pry him off her just so they could have a dance with y/n. 

Life often threw a curveball, though this one was her favorite of all time. 

As many times as y/n had sung along to the song, life finally gave her a man after midnight.

oh god i just realised i forgot to do this one that i was tagged by lovelylovely @hrhgeorgerussell so thank youuuuu 💕💕

last song I listened to: I was bored at work so i put the mamma mia playlist so it’s honey, honey

currently watching: i am rewatching the first season of invisible city just so i can watch the second one bc i am that person 🙃🙃 (the one that forgets everything). also rewatching lucifer and i think that might be influencing on my english accent a bit on the moment, to be honest

currently reading: nothing, as my kindle just fucking died on me. i’m sticking to fanfics.

current obsession: Formula 1 of course, specifically charles leclerc, and i bought a drawing kit again bc i convinced myself i’m getting back into drawing and i’m going to commit and i’m going to get real good this time. so. yeah it’s not going great, friends, i’ll tell you that

i am… not going to tag anyone bc it has been so long and i am sorry i forgot hehe but i don’t even know if anyone made this or not but if you want to feel free to tag yourself here

[silvermaplealder]

Soft Asks: 1, 6, 19, 23

Thank you for the asks! They were fun to do :)

1: What song makes you feel better? 

The entire soundtrack of Mamma Mia. I really love Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie! I listen to the songs from the movie at least once a week.

6: say three nice things about yourself

My hair has been nice these past few days! I love the way my art has been turning out. Even though I haven’t been as productive as I wanted to be with my 3 weeks off of work, I’ve been able to focus on doing things I love, and it’s important to get my creative ideas out on paper (or digital paper lol)

19: Most important thing in your life? 

My cows, most definitely. There’s nothing that can lift my spirits like sitting in a pen with calves that love to play and be pet. 

23: Favorite piece of clothing? 

My leather gloves. I wear them literally everywhere now. I bought them for my David cosplay and then I started wearing them every day. They’re actually really awesome and I’m obsessed with leather gloves now oops.

[deviantartdramahub]

Before I begin, I'd like to say the correction by the mod below the picture in my previous part/entry/post is correct enough to accept as speaking for what I meant (not to be confused with 100% correct). Can't believe a typo (caused by me trying to "pirate" some kind of Grammarly so they stop advertising in my face, I think a lot of people tried that, and then trying to make larger sentences) people would be obsessed with would inspire a conversation which in turn inspired a dilemma question about people being obsessed with perfect-score communication, with the friend I assume being Triagonal/Tri (whose situation, if true, is similar to another person's who was part of a revelation and realized she is the targeted individual, but it would be wrong of me to assume if that was her, with my two posts being a good teaching tool and demonstrator on why it's good to realize the only person who can speak for one's intentions is the one with the intentions, no exceptions, and why communication style proves nothing despite what they say thinking more than half of people care or buy into the claims of impersonation and doxxing and falsely identifying people based on typing, which as we can see again in the replies they don't). Tumblr desperately needs an editing feature on posts and comments, though fortunately, since this place is a court for settling disputes and not a circlejerking place, there is no high demand for perfection, as there would be if you're trying to intimidate people, which is the loss of the people trying to be our antagonists. Does even mildly broken English intimidate people?

I can tell at this point the way they think they've been slighted (and how they handle this, more often having to face the wrath of the mods themselves) is something they consider personal, even if they consider everything personal (while vowing to try to make everyone else feel likewise in places with what has been outed as having growing transphobia [which, along with a denial of other things, they have a history of incorporating as a part of their show] and Australiaphobia). Being ones to make it all about show, they often talk at length about Triagonal becoming banned from "several" (i.e. two, DeviantArt which the one gloating about her being banned is himself banned from, as well as Inkblot, forgetting Inkblot's mods got banned from Reddit trying to raid Triagonal, as well as the fact Inkblot is on its last leg not even a few years into its existence since Jay runs Inkblot like a porcupine runs a balloon factory, with everyone still having unlimited access to other exclusive places) sites, but if the goal has ever been to actually cause such a ban, either on her or especially on people associated with her, they are losing, only getting her banned from a server and a sub which, would ya look at that, themselves on the verge of getting banned just like Inkblot, weaknesses whose omission they teeter on all while claiming anyone who stands up for Triagonal is the same entity as her despite account removals demonstrating otherwise, which would prove they might not be the same individual as the one on DA who thinks anyone is doing anything to look smart and is so afraid of clowns they can't help but compare everyone they don't like to them (poor guy), if only they were willing to criticize each other. Nevertheless, they are about as bumbling as they would be if voiced in Portuguese and should follow the advice of Matt Foley.

They are free to speak their perspective here......... but in this situation I can almost hear them seconding Captain Ginyu's words, "Mamma Mia, no!"

[mooremars]

Tag game: tag 9 people you’d like to get to know better

Thank you @badsalmonella

Last song: Burn the Hard Drive by Jade Bird which just came out and I'm obsessed with it

Currently watching: Both the West Wing (complete with noting every Camelot reference) and Cursed by myself. Then What If season 2 with my roommate and Wheel of Time season 2 when I go home to see my family.

Three ships: As demonstrated by my tumblr I just cannot stop being fully consumed by one thing so Camelot revival (and literally no other version) Arthur and Genny do make up 90% of that part of my brain but let's stretch for the other two

Moiraine and Lan's platonic soulmate thing on Wheel of Time is giving me life

And then last week I saw this play called Jonah and calling this a ship is maybe inaccurate but I could have watched two of the characters continue to discuss trauma and desire with each other for another two hours or more, I cannot stop thinking about their conversation and in that shipping is really just enjoying the dynamic between characters, this one is doing a lot for my brain right now and it's killing me that no one I know has seen the play

Favorite color: The Barbie movie really put me in a pink phase and also I got some cute red nail polish so those two are dominating at the moment

Currently consuming: Nothing because it's 1am and I don't think consumption would help my failed quest for sleep

First ship: Will and Elizabeth from Pirates of the Carribean. There were probably some Harry Potter ones that came first but I was looking up youtube music videos for these two, they truly owned my middle school brain.

Relationship status: Single

Last movie: Mamma Mia

Currently working on: Well I cannot make or create things physically or with my mind so let's stretch again. I'm eternally jotting stuff down on my note of Camelot shit I want to rant about which could be called working on it. But mostly it's incomprehensible fragments like if you think about it the reframing of the love triangle makes the themes stop conflicting so gotta actually take some understandable notes before I can give the (five) people what they did not at all ask for, I'll keep the tag alive with garbage

Also my sister got me this super cute bag for Hanukkah but turns out I have not read almost any of these books so I'm suffering working through Ulysses right now on audio and hopefully I can get through a few of the books this year

So here's the thing about tagging... all I do here is Camelot and that list of five people has been exhausted. But there must be some of you still around that see my name on your dash and think oh I remember that weirdo from the Once Upon a Time or Timeless or Magicians fandom and you're who I'm looking for.

[theragethatisdesire]

this did way too much to my brain so .....AOT boys as seasons ⚘

Eren

eren is so autumn-coded to me

loves sweaters and hoodies, big slouchy layers to combat the morning chill

maybe this is too self-shippy, but i'm obsessed with halloween being his favorite holiday

i hc eren as a HUGE horror fan

like every october he handpicks 31 of his favorite scary movies for an ABC-family style countdown until halloween

buys his daughter a little freddy krueger crewneck to match his

10000% wants to do ghostface roleplay

in college, he loves it because he can get drunk for an entire week with his friends and enjoy all the slutty costume ideas you come up with

as an adult, he goes HARD. like big corny blowups in the front yard, dresses up to hand out candy every year, takes your kids to every single trick or treating event in town

would have way too much fun carving pumpkins. buys like 5 just for himself so he can "test out all my ideas! what if i mess one up? i need a spare!"

drags you to haunted houses, hay rides, any sort of fall activity because he just loves it

Jean

y'all disappointed me on my cruel summer poll bc jean is a summer baby through and through

worked as a lifeguard every summer in high school and made some of the best memories of his life

secretly obsessed with the mamma mia soundtrack because it "sounds like summer"

loves to host a cookout. like, demands all of your friends make themselves free every sunday night to come over because he's strapping on his "kiss the chef" apron and grilling out

swears it isn't his favorite season just because you're wearing barely any clothes for 4 months. he has other reasons he just......can't always remember them when you're laying out in a bikini

totally buys a giant waterslide and leaves it in the backyard all summer for the neighborhood kids

jean's a big concert guy. his happy place is at an outdoor cover band concert in mid-july with an ice cold beer and your hand locked in his <3

life goal is to save enough money for a summer home so his kids can create summer memories in a special little town on the coast

Reiner

winter baby. such a winter baby.

not religious, but his favorite holiday is christmas. he loves all the pretty decorations, the music, and picking gifts for all of his loved ones

actually a damn good gift wrapper, like he's got you beat

1000000% dresses up as santa every year for the neighborhood kids and invites them all over to meet santa on christmas eve. like come hell or high water, he's putting that damn suit on and getting the kids on his lap

has to live somewhere it snows so he can build snowmen and sled with his kids

loves NYE too, the thought of a fresh start every 365 days is appealing to him

he loves all the opportunities he has to spoil you and show you how loved you are (christmas, valentine's, etc)

favorite movie is rudolph, he annoys the shit out of you every day humming it under his breath

always wants to host christmas eve dinner, like a massive party with all of your friends and family and eventually the kiddos, even goes so far as to convince everyone to sleep over and leave the santa presents under your tree for the kids in the morning this happens so regularly that all your friends' kids are convinced that "santa only comes to uncle reiner's house!!" nothing makes reiner happier than a full house on christmas morning <3 <3 <3

THANK YOU SO MUCH OP FOR LETTING ME BRAIN ROT UNDER UR POST like such a wonderful prompt :)

What season would you describe your relationship with your fav/s as?

Tik Tok Tyranny (Marcus Moreno x f!Reader)

Part of the Making Moves universe

Summary: Missy has become obsessed with Tik Tok. Luckily for her and not-so-luckily for you, her mini-mom adds many likes to her posts. Marcus gets roped in too.

W/C: 2.6k

Warnings: Language, Missy gets The Full Name when Marcus gets mad. otherwise it’s rlly tame.

A/N: PSHSHRHTS guys this idea has been rattling around my head and I thought it was super cute so I had to do it!! Lots of love to @leonieb for inspiring the first fic in this universe (who knows, maybe there are more to come?), @theteddylupinexperience for helping me out with all of my plot and helping me come up with this idea in the first place, and my babe @softly-sad for simping over Marcus with me and giving me some ideas!!

Missy’s Tik Tok page has been blowing up lately, and most of it is due to you.

It all started when she downloaded the app, showing you and her father the funniest ones she’d found. Many of them consisted of cute animals and bad jokes, since she inherited her father’s sense of humor. Your phone constantly dinged with new messages from Missy, sending you funny videos and recipes.

This morning, you wake to big brown eyes in a tiny head above your bed. “Good morning,” Missy sings. “We’re making a Tik Tok. Up and at ‘em!” She shouts, pulling back your covers.

You groan and roll over, finding Marcus’s side of the bed empty. “Where’s your dad?” You ask with a gravelly voice, eyes fluttering open.

“I don’t know. Doesn’t matter, he’s not gonna be in it. Actually, we do need a cameraman- Dad!” Missy hollers into the hall.

You groan and rub your eyes, reaching for your glasses. “It’s like 7, kid. How do you have so much energy? You don’t even drink coffee,” You ask her, a yawn overtaking your face.

“Because I’ve been planning this since last night,” she says with a grin, ripping the covers back once more. “Come on, please.”

Another yawn. “Fine. What are we doing, hm?” You ask her, eyes opening as you stretch out in bed.

“I’m dressing you for the day,” she sings. “You know those videos?”

“No,” you groan. “There are a lot of videos, kid.”

“You’re annoying,” she pouts and plops next to you. “Your Gen Z bestie dresses you for the day!”

Marcus walks in with two mugs of coffee, and he hands one to you. You smile and thank him and he looks at his daughter with a furrowed brow. “You’re not making her regret moving in, are you?” He teases her.

“No,” she rolls her eyes as you sip your coffee. “We’re making a tik tok. I’m gonna dress her for the day and you’re going to be our cameraman,” she tells him with a grin, handing him her phone. “Alright, let’s go,” she says and stands, hauling you up and almost making you spill your coffee.

“Damn, Missy,” you laugh and stand with her. “Okay, what do you want me to do?”

She shrugs. “Uh, wave at the camera. This will be the before shot.” Your hair is messy and tied up, your glasses perched on your nose. You’re wearing a large t-shirt belonging to Marcus and a pair of shorts. You sip your coffee and wave as Marcus records it. “Good, all is going to plan,” Missy grins and leads you along.

-

That video got a fair amount of likes; it didn’t go completely viral, but you were popular. It made Missy excited beyond belief and she insisted that you make another. “How good are you at dancing?” She asks casually over lunch.

“Oh God, Missy,” you chuckle and shake your head. “Not great, but I can move somewhat easily. What did you have in mind?”

She beams at you. “The scene from Mamma Mia where young Donna is on a boat Bill and they dance around on it!”

You both adore the Mamma Mia movies. They’re what brought you together; Missy needed a female presence in her life besides her grandmother, and one night, after being ditched by her friends, Marcus suggested she text you. You brought her to your house and the two of you watched Mamma Mia while eating pints of Ben and Jerry’s, singing along at the top of your lungs and making jokes at the movie’s expense.

It turns out that the dance isn’t overly complicated. You’ve both watched the movies so many times that it’s almost like second nature to the two of you. You’re practicing the dance to the blasting speakers in the backyard when Marcus finds the two of you. “Hey ladies,” he calls out, but you can’t hear him. The two of you are spinning each other around and laughing as you practice, Missy bonking into you and making you both stop, beaming laughing.

Marcus pulls out his phone and records it for a moment, grinning as he watches it. His two girls having the time of their lives, dancing to the Mamma Mia soundtrack in their shared home. It’s wonderful.

The dance segment ends and you both stop, catching your breath. You grin as you see Marcus and rush over to him, throwing your arms around him. You kiss his cheek before burying your face in his neck. “Hi, snuggles.” It’s your favorite name for Marcus: he’s tall and strong but so cuddly and unbearably soft. You want your arms around him at all times. “I missed you all day, stupid work,” you chuckle.

He wraps his arms around you too. “Missed you too, baby. You and Missy are two great dancers,” he chuckles.

“Please. I look like I’m dying,” you snort, lifting your head and kissing him softly on the lips.

-

That’s your second Tik Tok video to earn a favorable amount of likes: the video of the dance that Marcus took while you practiced.

The two of you make a new joint account: @missyandminimom. Mini-Mom was her new favorite term for you: you weren’t quite her stepmom yet, not married to Marcus and not a legal guardian to her. But you were like her mom. Thus, Mini-Mom was born.

The video was posted again there and got likes in the thousands, sending you into relative fame. Missy screamed every time she checked the app, her new followers exciting her far more than it excited you.

The next step, Missy decided, was that Marcus needs to be a participant. But not a willing one, or at least not a participant that appears as willing.

“Please Dad, you just need to walk through the background!” Missy begs of Marcus with wide eyes.

Marcus shakes his head but smiles. “You’re not making me dance.”

“Nope! It’ll be just the two of us dancing, and you do whatever you need to in the background. It’ll be funny!”

“Isn’t the point of those things that the people don’t know they’re being recorded?” He asks, raising an eyebrow.

“Just act like you’re not! People will think it’s hilarious, us dancing and you just walking in the background. Everyone will recognize you and we’ll get famous!”

“Fame isn’t the goal,” you clarify to Marcus and to Missy. “We just think it would be funny,” you offer up.

Marcus can’t say no to you. “Well, I suppose,” he groans, and Missy cheers and throws her arms around him.

“You’re the best! I love you so much!” She squeals, letting go and running over to where you stand. “Okay, we’re gonna count down then do the dance, you just walk through the background, stop and look, whatever.”

Marcus nods and you give Missy a high five. “Nice going,” you tease and nudge her side. “Alright, you ready?” You and Missy have been preparing the dance for the past couple of days, and you’re wearing matching outfits now.

“Yeah, here we go,” she squeals and presses the record button. She backs up next to you as the timer beeps.

You start the dance, and Marcus walks dutifully through the background a few seconds in. He stands there for a second, staring at your ass, before wandering out before you complete the dance.

“Woo!” You and Missy both shout as you walk to the camera and check out the video. The dance goes perfect, and you widen your eyes as you look back at Marcus over your shoulder. “Jesus, Marcus,” you tease.

“I got distracted,” he murmurs, blushing, and you run over to him and wrap your arms around him, jumping up and wrapping your legs around him too. He holds you up and kisses the side of your face. “You’re so good with her.”

“She makes it easy,” you laugh and bury your face in his neck.

Missy whips around with her phone and records the two of you, where you stand koala-wrapped on Marcus. “You’re so gross,” she groans and heads off to edit the video.

-

The video does, indeed, go viral, as people recognize that that’s Marcus Moreno in the background, so that must be his daughter and does he have a girlfriend now? You even found you and Missy on the cover of a digital tabloid, in a shot of you hugging. At least they were kind about you.

The next video is a prank on Marcus. You and Missy spent the day planning it, giggling nefariously as you set everything up. You replaced Marcus’s katanas at home with a pair made of plastic, meaning he can’t summon them with his powers. When he returns home, the trap is laid, and you and Missy follow a loose script.

As you cook dinner side-by-side with your boyfriend, you smile up at him. “You know, you’ve never given me a demonstration of your powers, baby,” you murmur to him and kiss his cheek, continuing to stir the ingredients you’re working on.

“Because at home, I’m just your man,” he says and kisses you softly, cupping your face with one hand. You smile into his lips, and you have to admit that you appreciate it. You didn’t realize he was a Heroic until a few weeks of being his neighbor, when it finally clicked that he wasn’t just Marcus, he and Missy weren’t just the Morenos, he was Marcus. Moreno. He always leaves his work at work and you appreciate it.

“Why are you so fucking cute?” you coo and kiss him again. “Still. Just… do the thing, please, whoosh those katanas over here?” You ask, wrapping your arms around his middle and looking up at him with big eyes.

He sighs and nods. “I suppose.” You can see Missy shooting from around the corner and you sneak her a thumbs up. He stares in concentration, holding out his hand to summon them. Damn, he must be out of practice, he thinks, focusing harder. His lip twitches in frustration as it doesn’t work. “Fuck!” He ends up shouting after a few moments where nothing works, and Missy claps a hand over her mouth.

“Dad!” She exclaims with a laugh. Marcus very rarely curses, if ever, and his eyes widen as he realizes she was filming it.

“Melissa Angélica Moreno, don’t you dare-” he threatens as he realizes what she wants to do with it. It’s going on Tik Tok, whether he likes it or not. He lunges after her and Missy squeals, launching off a chase through the house as Marcus pursues her.

-

That video got the most likes of all of them. Glimpses into celebrity lives always do, and you knew from the start that Marcus’s videos would garner lots of attention. Lots of people thirsted over him in the comments. Many duets were made of people saying they wished they were you. You only supposed it was fair; who wouldn’t want to be with Marcus?

“Baby?” You mumble late one night in bed.

“What is it?” A sleepy Marcus murmurs next to your ear.

You sigh, rolling over in his arms to face him. “I know you’re famous, and Missy’s Tik Tok isn’t helping either, but you love me, right?”

His eyes open and he frowns. “Where the hell did that come from?” He asks, pulling you closer and wrapping his arms tight around you. “Of course I do.”

There’s still a small frown on your face. “You’re a superhero. You have a ton of people who would line up to date you. Lots of options.”

He chuckles and kisses your forehead. “Baby. I fell in love with you when you were wearing a fuzzy bathrobe and drinking coffee on your porch. How could you ever question how much I love you?” He asks, voice tinged with sadness.

You feel warm inside at his words, scooting closer. “I know. I just… get insecure about it sometimes.”

“You never have to be,” he assures you and kisses your forehead. “I have never and will never love anyone more than you, except Missy. That’s a tie.”

You giggle softly. “I love you so much, baby,” you murmur into his skin.

“I love you too, cutie. Now please go the hell back to sleep.”

“More like a grizzly bear,” you grumble but smile. You fall asleep just like that, your arms around him tight and face nuzzled in his neck.

-

Two days later, Missy comes flying into your bedroom on a Sunday morning, nearly making Marcus spill his coffee. “You guys!” She squeals. “I just posted a Tik Tok that got the most likes ever, and it’s only been up for like ten hours!”

You groan and scoot away from Marcus so Missy can cuddle in between the two of you. “What did you make now, huh?” You ask as she nestles in.

Missy projects her phone to the screen. She takes your left hand and Marcus’s right, joining them and grinning. “Let me first just say… you’re welcome,” she giggles.

The video starts. my simp-erhero dad and his love🧸✨ flashes across the screen over an image of you on Marcus’s shoulders in their backyard pool.

The video rolls, and it’s about 40 seconds long. A popular love song plays in the back over clips of you and Marcus. You kissing Marcus’s cheek after he found you and Missy dancing to Mamma Mia in the backyard. You, cuddled on top of Marcus on the couch, the both of you napping. You koala-clinging to Marcus after he stared at your ass in that dancing video. Marcus kissing you softly as you cooked dinner and asked him to demonstrate his powers. The last video is of you, Marcus, and Missy at a theme park. Both you and Marcus kiss one of her cheeks in sync, making her giggle. The music fades and the video starts again.

Marcus turns to the two of you, eyes watering. He looks into your eyes first. “Did you help her make that?” He asks.

Your eyes are watering too, grinning. “No.”

He grins down at his daughter, the tears slipping from his eyes. “Missy. That is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. What inspired you to make it?”

She has a real answer: it’s that she wanted the two of you to see your relationship the way she did. She wanted to reassure you. She’d heard you that night when you told Marcus you felt insecure.

But Missy is a snarky little preteen, 4’4” of prepubescent rage and glitter. “The likes I knew I’d get,” she shrugs and skips out of the bedroom happily.

Before you can say something loving to Marcus, he takes your face in his and kisses you slowly. You both chuckle into each other’s lips, you breaking away and looking at him with big and happy eyes. “I love you so much.”

“I love you too,” Marcus grins, pushing his glasses back up his nose. “Hey, I have a question for you. Well, it’s more of a statement.”

“Go for it,” you nod.

“We should get married,” Marcus says plainly with a smile. “I’ve already asked Missy about it, she thinks we should too. Of course, if you don’t want to, I get that. I know we haven’t been dating as long as other relationships do before marriage, and-”

“Yes,” you grin. “Let’s do it.”

He grins and kisses you, holding both sides of your face in his hands. “You know, the two of us seem to really like rash decisions.”

“They always work out in the end, don’t they?” You ask with a grin.

Marcus kisses you in response. They do, they really do. He breaks away a moment later, grinning and watery-eyed. “I still don’t know what a simp is,” he sniffles.

If you had to make a jukebox musical with Taylor songs, what three would have to be on the playlist?

Tee, thank you for what is truly the greatest ask I think I've ever gotten. Truly I cannot think of a question I'd rather answer.

Because I am a little bit insane obsessed with both Taylor and musicals, I think I will have to answer this question in two different ways. Because if this is a jukebox musical, is it about Taylor's life à la "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" or is it like "Mamma Mia" where it's all her songs but the plot has nothing to do with her?

So, I will answer both scenarios because as established I am batshit a big fan.

First, if there were to be a musical about Taylor's life using her songs, it would have to represent her career, right? It would have to cover her different eras and greatest hits while still being true to her journey as a person and artist.

So, that being said, here are the three most important songs that I think would have to be in that musical (in chronological order of where they would happen in the show):

1. "You Belong With Me" (represents when Taylor really broke out, has the kind of pining country song she was known for)

2. "Blank Space" (a great start to her calling out the media as she would during rep, but it also combines the specific element of slut-shaming that rep doesn't discuss as much)

3. "Daylight" (shows her transition in how she views love, and how Joe has become so important to her)

Now, as for a musical that has its own plot that has nothing to do with her life, there are obviously a variety of directions this could go. I won't spend time trying to create a jukebox musical with a plot out of just her songs, although I would if given the chance, but for this part, I will simply list the three songs that I think would make for great additions to a jukebox musical, not necessarily all in the same show. They just give me musical vibes. This part is in no particular order.

1. "Haunted" (which makes sense since she said the whole Speak Now album was inspired by broadway)

2. "All Too Well" (Yes, I'm biased, but this is some of her best songwriting, so how could it not be on this list? Also it would make for a great power ballad, like "She Used To Be Mine" or "Burn.")

3. "exile" (GOD this duet would be great for the stage. Imagine the drama! The incredible blocking for this scene! The arrangement with the orchestra and their voices!! This would be incredible).

Tee, I want to thank you again so much for asking this and making my day. I loved answering it and I hope you had as much fun reading my rambling as I did writing it.

Please send in your asks! My pinned post has some questions for inspiration if you want ideas. <3

An American’s Thoughts on Horrible Histories Songs

Born 2 Rule: Iconic, really set the stage for Horrible Histories, not my favorite George III song though that prize goes to Hamilton, (also I was always taught George III was mad in an angry way)

Wives of Henry VIII: This song walked so Six can run, still iconic

Making a Mummy: Kind of forgettable, but if we are going by the pattern as seen in the first two, I predict the next big history musical will be about making mummies

The Tudors: I don’t know why but I love this song’s intro, but I find the dance moves cringe worthy

Georgian Lady: It’s great when you can read along to it, but Martha is still iconic

I’m a Knight: I love the whole Monty Python inspiration, this always makes me smile, just pure wholesome knight energy, one of my favorite season 1 songs

Caveman Love: It gets better the more you listen to it

It’s Not True: Probably my least favorite Horrible Histories song, still better than most songs on the radio

The Plague: The plague was made for musical theatre, besides this check out Spamalot and Something Rotten

British Things: Drags on a bit, but haha Britain, you are not perfect, (but America is far from perfect)

We are Greek: It’s king boring, but lyrics are still pretty clever

Burke and Hare: I’m not a fan of this TBH, maybe it’s because I’m not a huge fan of true crime and stuff like that, it’s not that catchy either

Literally: Nothing like an 80s rock parody, it’s also one of the funniest songs

Charles II: This was the first HH song I listened to and I’m glad, because it’s a banger, and this is probably the closest you will get to a kid friendly Eminem

Spartan Musical: This is so camp and just you have to watch to understand

WWII Girls: Katy Wix needs to be in more songs, I love the costumes in this

George IV: I’m obsessed with this one, Jim’s vocals in this are perfection, definitely one of my favorite of the whole series, I wish I could belt like that

Blackbeard: The acting in this is perfection, I still laugh while watching it

Victorian inventions: I’m not a big fan of this type of music, but it’s still funny

Hieroglyphics: Idk why Mat did a Texas accent, and I’m not sure but it’s not bad, but it’s not as great as the other songs

Cowboys: The accents are good but I could go without all the farts

Boudicca: This is an inspiration

Funky Monks: I’m not a big fan of this one, it’s funny but I wish they had more singing in this, but Terry is great as always

Pachacuti: At first I was bit nervous to watch it because of the brown face, and yes it’s in there and I also thought it would be too cheesy but that’s the point and makes it so much fun, also what’s a northern accent

Dick Turpin: For most people it’s the guyliner that makes this a thirst trap, for me it’s all the tricorn hats 😍. When I first watched this video I recently developed my tricorn fetish and this song was just... The music to this is great too, I listen to this daily. And imagine me learning that this thirst trap’s name is Dick

Monarchs: Iconic, super helpful, now I can name all the English monarchs, thanks

William Wallace: Better than Braveheart, seems like a lot of fun to film

Work! Terrible Work: Hey look theatre reference, this so is definitely not a mood booster, but those sideburns (and I’m not really into sideburns)

Ra ra Cleopatra: Martha is killing it, and I love all the Lady Gaga references

Richard III: Thanks for talking about the horrors of Tudor Propaganda and the lyrics in this are amazing

Evil Emperors: If you claim your bad, don’t make such a catchy song that can easily be confused as another thirst trap, love the parody and Caligula and Nero and some of my favorite HH characters

Suffragettes: This song proved how hard these ladies worked, also I want to sing this song with others, who’s in?

Ain’t Stain Alive: Okay just like Pachacuti, I’m sure this song can’t work today, but it’s great, so catchy and the screams, also the behind the scenes of this is iconic

Age of Stone: I like how it explains the time periods but I’m not really a big fan of how it was presented

English Civil War: The choreography is on point, Lawry needed to be in more songs and I love the song they parodied, it’s Cool from West Side Story

Celtic Boast Battle: I don’t know, I find it a bit too much but the ending is perfection

RAF Pilots: Now I’m not big on war history, epically WWII, but song is perfection, I love the coloring used for this, the music is just awesome, and this along with The Captain from Ghosts and Molly McIntire are proving the WWII is gay

Nature Selection: I’ve been using this phrase a lot during the pandemic,

The Thinkers: Alright, no strong opinions

It’s a New World: A jam, love the shade of how the pilgrims treated the natives, and it’s a great parody altogether, also I need a New New Castle now

Mary Seacole: So catchy I love it, and the dancing is great. I wish they didn’t cut out that one lyric about Florence because that’s important

Victoria and Albert: It’s kind of slow, but I can see why others like it, maybe it’s just because I’m alone

Blue Blooded Blues: I don’t really like Blues music, even though I’ve lived in cities known for their blues, but James Cape™️, GAAAYYYY!!!

The Luddites: Definitely one of my favorites, I love the cinematography, the costumes are my type, and nothing like historical heavy metal, ironic right, and Jim has the vocal range

The Borgia Family: I love everything about this, the music, the accents, costumes, this is better than the Showtime series, wish Ben got a solo in this song though, (also is it just me or do the Borgias remind you of the Trumps expect the Borgias are more like able)

Mary I: It’s okay, Sarah in this is great and it’s a great parody but I always thought of Mary having a deeper voice (I know weird)

William Shakespeare and the Quills: I love Shakespeare, but I’m not a big fan of this type of music, also I low key wish Shakespeare was sexy in this one

Georgian Navy: Please forgive my star spangled ass, but I’m not a fan of the British military during the Georgian era, and yes I know Nelson didn’t really fight in the American Revolution, but I’m not a big fan of war history

Flame: Will get stuck in your head, but who cares it’s an awesome parody, Jesse Owens in amazing, we love Jim’s Nero, and Mat you said you were all nude (I feel cheated)

Death’s Favorite Things: Hilarious, and a mood for me

Rosa Parks: Now Rosa’s story is something we get drilled in our heads in America, which is good, this song is so catchy and I love the costumes, but the ending did say ‘segregation was ended in America,’ but technically...

Vikings and Garfunkel: Aww so peaceful,

Charles Dickens: I love the music on this and the cinematograph, but there is something about it that I’m not a big fan of it, but I’m not sure what

Crassus Minted: A freaking underrated banger, just like the real Crassus

Joan of Arc: I’m sorry but this song is a bit cringe worthy but still way better than the new seasons

Alexander the Great: I mean is there any other song that can truly depict Alex

Owain Glynwr: Wish they had more Welsh history on the show but Tom Jones parody I never knew I needed

Transportation: The dancing in this is amaze, and I’m obsessed with Ben’s accent in this, how is his Midwestern accent better than mine, and I have a Midwestern accent, (stop making me like Henry Ford!) and I love whenever they do musical parodies

Henry VII: This song makes me want to be Henry VII, he made the monarchy great again

Matilda Stephen and Henry: There are more ABBA references in this than a production of Mamma Mia, and it’s brilliant,

Australia: I’m surprised they got away with saying Hellhole in this, but still very catchy, low key wish Thomas sang this in Ghosts

Cousins: It’s silly and I like it

Love Rats: Lyrics make me want to remain single, video is having me crush on actors that are old enough to be my parents

Final: Supersweet, but I can only watch it once because it makes me emotional

[lorilane33]

He’s Your Dancing Queen

Summary: Bucky is a man-child about indulging your want to watch Mamma Mia for the hundredth time, and when you come early a few days later you are met with something unexpected. 

Pairing: Bucky x Reader 

Word Count: 2,589

Warnings: Bucky being a cheeky little shit. Mamma Mia obsession, fluff out the wazoo because that’s my jam. Hilarity. 

A/N: This is my first every Bucky fic, and I’m super excited about it. Mamma Mia has recently become one of my favorite musical movies and ABBA has no shortage of amazing and inspirational songs :) This is the result of that. Please like and reblog, I live for that shit :) 

Saturday evening arrives in the house you share with your boyfriend Bucky and he lets out a groan while his eyes roll to the back of his head; you’ve made your choice for what movie you want for movie night.

“Y/n, doll. I get that it’s your turn to pick the movie we watch, but Mamma Mia? AGAIN?” Bucky settles into the couch and his arm goes around you, his mind flashes back to the last time you watched Mamma Mia. “Didn’t we just watch it on Wednesday?” 

“So?? Bucky, come on.” You stick your bottom lip out in a pout, knowing he can’t handle it when you ask so sweetly. “Pleeeease? I promise I won’t sing along too loudly this time.” 

Bucky knows you are taking advantage of him but he can’t bring himself to tell you no, especially when it’s something that continually brings you this much joy. Letting out a defeated sigh he responds, “Fiiiine, we can watch it again.” When he hears you squeal in response he smiles and adds on, “It’s so not fair that you use that pout against me, Y/n. You know that look coming from you breaks my heart.” 

You reach up and kiss Bucky’s cheek, the scratch of his beard against your lips a nice feeling. “You know you love me, no matter what. Now, stop being a punk if you want to keep cuddling with me.” A smirk gracing your features. 

A few songs into the movie, you’ve completely forgotten the promise you made Bucky and are currently singing along (loudly) to Dancing Queen with Donna, Tonya, and Rosie, wishing you could run away to Greece with Bucky. 

Suddenly you feel a heavy weight against you as Bucky sags into you and sighs with boredom. Trying to get him on board with the fun, you shove the air mic into Bucky’s face, and all you get is a grumble about how he’s heard this song a million times and he’s tired of it. Laughing, your whole body moves to the beat of the song and you serenade him through to the end of it. 

“Finally, that stupid song is over. Can we watch something else now?” you hear Bucky mumble, adding on another dramatic sigh for effect. 

Your eyebrows shoot up in response and you momentarily frown, the movie momentarily forgotten. “Excuse you, Bucky? It was my turn to pick!” 

“I feel like I’m going to be singing these songs in my sleep because of how often we’ve watched this movie,” Bucky replies. He rolls his eyes. “And the last thing I want is to be singing ABBA songs when I’m trying to rest, doll.” 

Rolling your eyes you turn your attention to the TV and realize you’ve almost missed the beginning of your favorite scene. “That’s great, hon. We can talk about it later, I promise. Now, please… shush.” 

An overly dramatic and indignant look crosses Bucky’s face as he realizes you’re blowing him off and he tightens his arm around you, “Now who needs to be excused, little missy? You think you can just -”

Suddenly a pillow collides with his face and he is momentarily stunned. “I said SHUSH!” You yell all while your attention remains on the screen, where Sky and Sophie are singing their duet, Lay All Your Love On Me.

“Y/n, are you ignoring me for Sky??” Bucky whines, glancing back and forth between you and the movie. “Oh my god, you totally are!!” He exclaims as he shoves your shoulder.

Smiling you laugh at his need for attention. “And what if I am, Buck? He’s so beautiful! Just look at him!” you cry. “His voice isn’t bad either... So there’s that,” nonchalantly you shrug in amusement. 

“How could you ignore me for him?” He reaches up and pokes you in the nose, and then he points to Sky onscreen as you turn to face him. “HE LOOKS LIKE HOWARD STARK, Y/N, IN CASE YOU DIDN’T NOTICE AND THAT’S WEIRD.”

At this, you burst out laughing. “Howard Stark?? Really, hon? He does NOT look like Howard! Now you’re just grasping at straws. NOW SHHHHHH!!” You add on as you turn your attention back to the TV, the chemistry between Sophie and Sky crackling on-screen. 

Bucky keeps up his petulant attitude. “You’re right, he can’t be Howard because he’s half-naked and the ugly sod is bloody British,” he mockingly responds.  

You pat Bucky’s knee in response to his obvious jealousy. “Awww, Sweetie. It’s okay to be jealous every once in a while,” you coo gently. 

“Jealous?! Me?! JEALOUS OF THE HOWARD STARK WANNABE??? Please.” Bucky huffs as his eyes roll again. “How much of this movie do we have left anyway?” 

Your grin grows wider as you break the news to him. “Bucky. Sweetheart. Babe. My love. We’re not even halfway through yet. You’ve seen this movie before, you should know!”

Bucky dramatically groans, adding another eye-roll in for effect, as he flops down to lay his head in your lap. His metal arm wraps around your waist as he mumbles into your leg, “Just wake me up when it’s over.” 

You roll your eyes fondly at his antics knowing he wasn’t actually upset about any of it. “Fine, Buck. Go to sleep, you brat.” Your hand finds its way into his soft, short locks, and gives it a firm tug. He lets out a small squawk of surprise and glares at you before he closes with a victorious smile on his face. 

Once the movie ends you shake Bucky to wake him up. “Hey. Wake up, it’s over.” 

“Oh my god, finally!” Bucky mumbles through a yawn. “I was beginning to think it would never end. Did you finally get enough of your boy Sky and his stupid British nonsense??” 

Giggling, you respond as you pinch him. “Maybe I haven’t, we should watch it again to make sure. You’re such a brat, you know that?” 

He gasps. “NOOO!” batting your hand away, he continues. “Excuse you? Who are you calling a brat, punk?”  

“Hey! I could have left you to sleep out here on the couch, ya know. But I didn’t, because I’m a loving girlfriend.” 

“A loving girlfriend, huh? I wouldn’t have to sleep through half the movie if you didn’t make me watch Mamma Mia all the time, Y/n. So technically this is your fault.” He begrudgingly sits up, glaring at you for waking him up. 

You smile and boop his nose. “How on Earth is this my fault, Buck?” 

A look of mild annoyance lands on his face when he pulls away from your finger. “How is this your fault? Gee, I wonder how this could, in any way, be your fault?”  

Pushing him off the couch, you smile and kiss his head as you walk past him, letting your fingers graze his bearded jaw.  “Awww, Buck. You’re so cute when you’re jealous.”

Eyes widening as he realizes what you said, he calls out to your form retreating into the bedroom. “I am NOT jealous of not Howard, Y/n! We’ve discussed this!!” 

____________________________________________________________

“Exactly, Stef! I don’t understand how she thinks she has the right to do that.” You continue your phone conversation while digging in your purse for your keys as you walk up to the porch. 

Listening to your friend’s reply, you walk up the front steps and successfully pull your keys from your purse. Suddenly you hear muffled voices, and it sounds like it’s coming from inside. 

“Hey, Stef, I’m gonna have to call you back. Yeah, I’ll talk to you later. Bye.” You end the call and dump the phone into your purse as you go to unlock the door. “Buck?”

Once you open the door the mystery of the blaring noise is solved as you hear the opening chords of Sky and Sophie’s duet coming from the living room, then Sky’s voice is heard too. But this time there’s another voice.  “Um, Bucky?” You call out, hoping to figure out where he’d disappeared to. 

You place your keys in the dish by the front door, confusion settling in. However, the mystery of the missing boyfriend, too, is solved momentarily as seconds later you turn the corner into the living room only to see Bucky, who apparently has no idea you’re home.

The man who complained about watching Mamma Mia only days previously is now singing along with the movie, giving it all he’s got, clad in nothing but his boxer briefs. Your mouth drops open at the sight before you as he whips his shorter locks to the song. Bucky’s hand that isn’t using the remote as an air mic glides down his body as he does a few body rolls, then his hips start swinging in time to the beat as he runs his free hand through his hair, making it stick up even more than it already was. 

You continue to stare, absolutely gobsmacked, as your boyfriend starts moving along with the words even more as the second verse builds to the chorus:

“It was like shooting a sitting duck,

A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck.

I still don't know what you've done with me,

A grown-up woman should never fall so easily.

I feel a kind of fear

When I don't have you near,

Unsatisfied, I skip my pride

I beg you, dear,”

Bucky finishes an attempt at an elaborate spin move as he sings the last line, and you finally snap out of your trance and begin laughing. 

His eyes fly open as he hears you, not expecting you to be home so soon. “Y/N?!? OH MY GOD, I THOUGHT YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE HOME UNTIL SEVEN!?!” Bucky frantically tries to find the remote on the coffee table for a few seconds, only to make you slouch against the wall in laughter as he realizes he’s been using it as a mic. 

Suddenly your laughter is the only sound now as the TV goes silent when Bucky pauses it. He crosses his arms, drawing your attention to his chest, which is heaving with his heavy breathing and covered in a light sheen of sweat. 

Pulling yourself back up to a standing position, you wipe the tears that have been streaming down your face as you try to compose yourself. Giggling, you reply, “Yeah, Buck, I wasn’t. But if you had looked at your phone at all over the last hour you’d have seen my text that said I was coming home early. And lemme tell you, I’ve never been so glad to have you not read my text in our entire relationship.” 

You let your eyes now wander appreciatively over your mostly naked boyfriend, taking in the Greek god that is James Barnes, and when your eyes get back up to his face you see him scoff at you. “Hey! Quit ogling the merchandise. Geez, doll, I feel so objectified right now.” 

Smirking at him, you roll your eyes at his antics. “But what if your merchandise is really, really nice to look at?” You pause. “Speaking of merchandise, Buck. Umm. I’m assuming you know you’re running around in your underwear? Where are your clothes?” 

Without missing a beat Bucky says, “Pfft. Duh, Y/n! Of course, I know I’m in my underwear. It’s the best state to be in. And for my clothes, they’re In the dresser, where they’re supposed to be? Well. My sweats are probably on the floor, but whatever.” He shrugs like that’s the most logical place for his pants to be. 

Unable to keep a straight face, you break down into giggles. “So you’ve just been wandering around in your briefs since I left this morning?”

Dropping the remote onto the couch cushion, Bucky walks over to you, a mischievous glint in his eye.  “Yeah, pretty much. Got a problem with that?” 

With Bucky suddenly in front of you, blue eyes staring at you so intensely, your response is much breathier than you anticipated. “Nope. Not a single problem, Buck. But, baby.” Breathing deeply and arching your eyebrow at him you continue. “Last time I checked, you thought Sky was a Howard Stark wannabe and made fun of the fact that he’s British. What’s up with that?”

Bucky shrugs in defeat, chuckling as he responds. “What can I say? It’s really not my fault ABBA has killer songs. And it’s also not my fault that the story they’ve used the songs to tell is a damn good one.” His hands come to rest on your hips, lightly rubbing his thumbs over your hipbones, his eyes bright. “And it’s still not my fault that my irresistible girlfriend makes me watch the movie all the damn time. I’ve had it memorized for three months, doll.” 

Almost subconsciously your arms reach up to rest on his shoulders in response to his ministrations as he gently brushes his nose against yours. “But Y/n here’s the real question. It’s really important, so I need you to answer honestly. My performance. It blew a half-naked Sky out of the water, right? No contest?” 

“Oh my god, Bucky!” You slap his chest, laughing. “We were having a moment and you were such a brat and ruined it!” 

You lean your forehead against his shoulder in an attempt to gain some composure, but it fails because your head is bobbing along to Bucky’s laughter emanating from his chest. “Doll, it was an honest question. I just need your honest opinion, that I’m better than Sky.”

Pulling away from Bucky, you walk back toward the doorway where the two bags you brought home were strewn, forgotten, along with your purse. With an affectionate laugh, you look back at him. “Bucky Barnes, some days I haven’t the slightest idea what to do with you. You are such a man-child.” 

Smiling, he rolls his eyes at your retort. You walk up to him, resting your free hand on his bicep as you go up on tiptoe to press a sweet kiss to his lips. His hands reach for your ass, but you swat his hand away and smirk.  “Nope. Hands off, mister. I’ll never make it to the shower if I let you get your hands on me.” He chuckles.  

You brush past him, pausing for a second. “And to answer your super important question? Hands down better than Sky, doll. You’re definitely my dancing queen.” Suddenly Bucky yelps in surprise as the crack of your hand firmly slapping his ass echoes in the room as you run to the bedroom. 

“HEY! Get back here, you brat!” Bucky yells as he takes off after you, rubbing his ass the whole way. 

A couple of hours later, after Bucky finishes showing you just how much he loves you, and after finally, finally finishing in the shower, music can once again be heard blaring from the TV. If anyone were to walk up to the door at this point in time they would hear voices muffled through the door just as you had earlier that day, not quite sure what it was they were hearing. 

In the living room, though, unaware of anyone or anything outside yourselves, you find yourself in your underwear right beside Bucky in his, loudly singing and dancing along to Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again like there’s no tomorrow. Bucky may be a man child, but he’s your dancing queen, and you wouldn’t trade him for anybody else.
