Flerkitten!Alpine AU

I originally posted this and the regular Flerken!Alpine picture on my Marvel blog @buckys-metal-arm, but now that I have a blog specifically for my Bucky/Juniper stuff I decided to delete that post and turn it into 2 separate posts, the clean picture without Alpine's parents can be found here!

BASE BY CREANIMA ON DEVIANT ART, tentacles and Chibi Cats done by me!

Juniper /Bucky stuff under the cut if you're interested!

(also realizing I forgot to do shadows on literally everything accept Alpine's body and to give her mother her white muzzle I put in her og design but it's fine)

So the in my "canon" world for Bucky and Juniper, Alpine is the daughter of Fennel and Barley, a pair of street cats. Fennel gives birth to her but ultimately she and Barley end up giving her to Bucky and Bucky after a somewhat complicated series events in which Bucky and them end up hanging out with 2 teenage Inhumans who go by the Codenames Flora and Fauna and it's a whole thing, but anyways Fennel and Barley helped in this because Fauna's power is talking to animals and Juniper is a Shapeshifter who's able to converse with the two of them when they're shifted into said animal. The two cats decide they don't want their daughter to have to live on the streets, so they give her to Bucky and co. And is actually raised by Skye, the partner of Juniper's wolfdog Fenrir who just had his puppies (also a whole thing don't worry about it), and Alpine lives a relatively normal life as their (but mainly Bucky's, he's by far her favorite) pet cat.

But I made a kinda... AU I guess for my own world? And made Barley one of Goose's Flerkittens but grown up (in my world I made it so Flerkens can reproduce asexually or with a mate, like most snail species. So like Goose reproduced asexually, and Barley had them the old fashioned way. Alpine was a live birth because it's a Male Flerken with a female cat) who wasn't adopted/found/taken in by SABER/whatever happened to the Flerkittens post-The Marvels. Barley isn't known to be a Flerken by Fennel or any of the Humans/Inhumans he interacts with out of fear of being ostracized by the few allies he and his mate have on the street, or being taken away for experimenting/kidnapped by bad humans. Alpine actually lives a pretty normal life until one day she goes through essentially Half-Flerken Puberty and accidentally noms someone idk i havent ironed out all the kinks yet but yeah

the world would be such a better place if people realized "this driver bought his seat in F1" isn't a valid argument. it is physically impossible to make it to F1 without paying teams ridiculous amounts of money. whether the money comes from sponsors, family fortune or a goddamn bank heist, it doesn't matter. the money is still there.

Vicsy family lore actually has to do something with f1 this time around and boy was I shocked.

yesterday after I returned home I was telling my dad about attending Baku gp, about racing in general etc. naturally I start telling him all about Fernando and how great he is and I happen to mention crash gate.

“Do you by any chance know an Italian guy named Flavio Briatore?” I asked jokingly, since my dad has been doing business in Italy for thirty years, so perhaps he heard something one day or knew someone who was well-acquainted with Flavio.”

“Of course,” my dad said proudly and then dropped this fucking bombshell: “I crossed paths with him many years ago at an event in Sardinia.”

so. I take a pause. like, haha, right? pull up Flavio’s photo and show it my dad, who doesn’t have the best memory for faces. and I just go “this guy? you’re not mistaking him with anyone else?”

wish I was making this up tbh but my dad deadass said that he went to Billionaire club in Porto Cervo (which is owned by Flavio helppppppp) and Flavio was hanging out in there, my dad’s Italian friends casually introduced them and that was it. they just met. I had to double check. My dad just said “he used to look better back then”.

but guys. it’s not just that. to my stunned silence my dad added:

“It was hard not to know who Briatore was because everyone in Italy knew him in some way and you know that I have friends everywhere. Oh, but one time he did come to our restaurant for a business meeting.”

our family business is restaurants here in Moscow, right in the city center, and my dad spoke of the one in particular. Italian cuisine and, at the time of it opening in 2005, head chef from Sardinia kept one of our restaurants in the spotlight of the Italian embassy, so many notable Italians came there to dine. apparently Flavio fucking Briatore did, too.

you could say “Vicsy, darling, touch grass and go back to writing fanfiction” but I kid you fucking not I WISH I COULD BEAT THE ALLEGATIONS. but no. i really thought my dad was messing with me but his track record of spending almost 30 years of his life on work trips to Italy (which I remember distinctly from my childhood) serve as proof. plus I’ve seen some of his Italian friends irl. let’s say the M word could be applicable to them.

I asked my dad again today if he remembers when it was (like pre crash gate or after) and he genuinely doesn’t remember the exact year. my conclusion is that it was before Flavio got expelled out of f1 cause apparently Flavio’s visit to Moscow was him scouting the location for a possible Grand Prix (which later happened to take place in Sochi for several years).

so. my dad met Flavio Briatore at some point in life and, years before I even grasped the concept of F1, Briatore also sat on the second floor of our restaurant at the big round table under the huge chandelier I used to love when I was a kid. and he shook hands with my dad and all that.

does that… does that mean I’m one handshake away from Fernando?….

A/N: It has been a hot while, but I am slowly working my way back into the writing scene. I missed writing these but unfortunately, Uni took priority but on the bright side, ya girl got her masters degree!

This one is more focused around Sam and Alpine's relationship.

Anyway, enjoy!

How Alpine Celebrates Mother's Day

Now, Alpine does not have the best relationship with her parents.

Why else would she have immediately gotten herself adopted by an ex-assassin? (or did she adopt him?)

So when she met Bucky, and he started doing little things for her and supporting her in a way a father would, she buckled.

she immediately started thinking of ways to celebrate father's day for him

But then when Sam entered the picture, Alpine had a moment of realisation at 2am whilst watching big foot documentaries

she had Bucky

strong, protective, grumpy old ass who would put himself between her and any threat that popped up in her shenanigans

and she had Sam

sassy, enthusiastic Sam who encouraged her shenanigans

she had a whole family dynamic going on and she was going to celebrate that

for the first time in her life, she had a family and she wanted to show them both how much she appreciated them letting her be in their lives

lets be honest, she didn't give them a choice

but she could still show her love for them

now she didn't know what days to celebrate each person, she just knew she wanted to give them each their own day

so one day (quite literally mother's day - Alpine lost track of time and procrastinated too long), Sam and Bucky are at the latter's apartment, just chilling having a guys night

catching Bucky up on all the movies he's missed

having a couple of beers

just two friends, relaxing, laughing, having a good time

peaceful

until Hurricane Alpine struck

She came barrelling in, bags in hand that she was trying and failing to hide

balloons floating behind her she she kept trying to pull down behind her back

hair an absolute wreck, out of breath and trying to play it off

"Oh hey i didn't know you'd both be here what a surprise"

"Alpine you made us download a collective calendar, you know damn well it's guys night"

"shut up you love that app"

she struggles to get a coin out of her pocket, cursing at the balloons hitting her in the face and dropping the bags

"Uh.. you need a hand there Al?"

"NO IT'S FINE"

punches the balloons into the hallway and turns with a wild smile

"Flip the coin"

Sam is scared

Bucky is confused and debating whether or not he should put a restraining order in

"why?"

"no reason"

"well there is a reason obviously"

"no, no reason"

"i think there is a reason, what are you going to do"

"why do you assume i'm up to something?"

"the last time you made us flip a coin with no context you sold Bucky's arm"

"Hey when a blue lady comes knocking on your door looking for a gift for her raccoon friend, you oblige"

"do you know how LONG it took for me to get my arm?!"

"you're being so dramatic you literally got it back a few days later"

"I didn't get it back, Shuri made me a new one."

"Even better"

"She keeps texting me warnings about raccoons"

"She's looking out for you"

Sam is loving this, he remembers the day he walked in on Bucky frantically looking for his arm whilst Alpine sat on his couch cry-laughing out of pure stress and enjoyment.

Though they were slightly concerned by the fact that a) Nebula came to Alpine to get the arm and b) Rocket now had cybernetically enhanced piece of Vibranium.

safe to say Alpine was in trouble for a while

"Can you just- will you flip the coin? I'm not going to sell any appendages or organs to otherworldly beings."

"When did you sell organs?"

".... What organs?"

With that knowledge, Sam and Bucky flipped the coin, Sam calling heads whilst it was in the air, with it landing on his call.

victorious, he grimaces and looks at Alpine

"You can't have my wings."

"I don't need 'em, you wait here. I will be back"

grins and runs out, half tripping over the forgotten balloons as she goes and running into her door in the process.

Bucky decides to pray for Sam whilst the latter looks at him nervously

"I should be worried, shouldn't I?"

Bucky sighs and shrugs, "It's Alpine."

it's silent for a little while, they can hear loud shuffling and curses coming from across the hall

"Yes, be worried"

Sam is debating whether or not to run now or just accept his fate

it's too late though, because Alpine comes rushing back over with a card, some flowers, the balloons that had been poorly hidden behind her back and a box of chocolates

both men are seriously confused, but Bucky is also slightly annoyed

sure, Sam wins a coin flip and gets flowers, Bucky wins a coin flip and get's his arm stolen

makes sense

"Happy mother's day Sammy!"

"What"

"OH MY GOD"

Bucky is no longer annoyed, laughing and grinning at Sam

Sam is confused

when did he become a mother

when did he sign up for this

"Al what-"

"I know, I know. But I never-.." she pauses, handing Sam his gifts before shuffling, Bucky stops laughing at this point because he knows when Alpine is about to dump some trauma

"I never had a good relationship with my family and it's mothers day today and I was like I could just celebrate you two on father's day but you've both helped and supported me in different ways and you don't deserve to share a holiday besides you'll just argue, so i thought this was a better way and-"

"AL!"

She huffs and glares at them both

how dare they interrupt her nervous ranting

didn't they know its the only way she could c o p e

Bucky grins at her, glancing at Sam as the latter stands and gives her a tight hug

Alpine is surprised, she genuinely thought Sam would be annoyed but hugs him back anyway

is kind of embarrassed and awkward

poor baby is not hugged often

but relaxes soon enough when she spots Bucky smiling at the pair on the couch

Sam's hand rubbing soothing circle on her back before they pull apart and he grins at her

"Thank you kid. Really. I'm- I'm happy you think of me as your family, you know I'll always be hear to support you."

"Aww thanks mama goose"

Bucky snorts

literally a few months ago this man thought Alpine was a cat

now look at them

Alpine is positively glowing

she literally could not contain herself and she goes back in for another hug, laughing as Sam begs her not to call him any type of nickname

"I'm serious, do not call me mum in public."

"Are falcon's motherly?"

"I regret so much"

"Aw man am I getting disowned already?"

"Yeah no, you've done it now. You're my kid forever now bitch"

"Sammy you can't call your kid a bitch"

"I can if its affectionate"

Sam is buzzing, despite now having to reject every mother bird pun Alpine makes, shaking his head at all of her new bird pun name suggestions

He didn't like to admit it, but he was always somewhat jealous

sure he was friends with Steve before, but it always felt like Steve and Bucky.. and Sam

and then with Alpine it was Bucky and Alpine... and Sam

but now he had Bucky

and he had Alpine

he had a family here in New York

and he loved them

would he admit that?

no, he would actually rather cease to exist once more

but he knew they knew

an unspoken bond between the three of them that all three would die protecting

as if they would ever let Alpine do that though, she cuts her finger just trying to slice an apple and he and Bucky go absolutely insane

but they make this an annual celebration, though Sam refuses to admit it is for mother's day

"I am not your mother"

"uh huh, okay"

[purple--queen]

*after fighting aliens*

Bucky: You know, honey? If anything were ever happen to me, I would want you to get remarried.

Clint: Okay

Bucky: Mhh. This was a little fast.

Clint: Oh no i just wanna make you happy

Bucky: Okay. Any Idea who you would marry-

Clint: Moon Knight probably. We worked once togheter. He is very organized. The Kids love him.

Kate: Are you guys talking about Moon Knight?

Clint: Yeah

Kate: Bucky, he is awesome.

Clint: But just so you know, if something were to happen to me, I wanna-

Bucky: Something's gonna happen to you, all right.

Bus Pass: Fancypants Platypus

Name: Fancypants Platypus (formerly Francis Platypus)

Age: 36 at the time of the series

Residence: California, USA

Origin: New York, USA

Occupation: Fashion designer and later social media influencer

Orientation: Gay (like really, really gay)

Significant other(s): No significant ones but many flings

Fancypants Platypus is the third eldest son of the Platypus family. He’s catty, condescending, and self-centered. Like his other siblings, he was brought up in wealth, is a former Bean Scout and bullied Edward, the youngest, mercilessly. He’s a bigshot in the clothing design world, and his new status as a social media influencer has made him a household name. The latter, ironically, has humbled him somewhat and he has since become the only son to make peace with little Edward.

Biography: Canon and Headcanon

Francis Platypus was the third son born to Tony and Susan Platypus. From a very young age he had a keen eye for art, colors, and making himself favored. Tony, who owned and ran a very profitable construction company, had hoped this meant the newest boy would mature into an architect beneath him, but it wasn’t to be. This disappointment (that Tony and only Tony set himself up for, but he’ll never admit it,) would be the first bit of bad blood between them, but it simmered beneath the surface for decades.

For quite some time, Francis was the youngest child, after Chas (aka Cheesley) and Alfredo (aka Alpine.) Francis was the subject of bullying himself from them for his effeminate nature and comparable physical weakness. They took to calling him “Sissy” and “Nance,” and the minute he turned eighteen he spitefully changed his name to “Fancypants Platypus,” by which time he had fully embraced his queerness and was apprenticing in clothing design. They thus couldn’t mock him as they had without complimenting what was shaping up to be a meteoric rise in wealth and stardom of his own. (That’s not to say Tony respected Fancypants becoming self-made and openly gay. Far from it.) When Philip was born, the tradition of the youngest brother being the family punching bag seemed to pass, which made Fancypants secretly very angry at the unequal treatment.

But before that, the Platypus brothers went to Camp Kidney on the other side of the country, in Prickly Pines, California. Tony had gone to camp there himself as a boy, and he got a kick out of sending his materially spoiled boys “to that fucking dump” for a few summers. Only the three eldest boys went at the same time, for Philip and later Edward were too far apart in age. Although Philip went alone, the Platypus brothers’ reputation followed him, and no one messed with him. (Edward wasn’t so privileged with this association when his turn came.)

At camp, Francis was, individually, helpless. He couldn’t make fire, he flinched at the ball during sports, and he found the uniforms drab. He had no option then but to tag along with his brothers for support. For one reason or another, Cheesly and Alpine suddenly forgot to bully Francis and instead made him their rookie when it came to causing grief for other campers. Under their tutelage, Francis gave plenty of wedgies, threw many uniforms into rivers, and even beat up a few campers whom Cheesly and Alpine held down for him. He regards this as the low point of his life.

Five years after Philip came Edward, and at once the tradition of bullying the youngest brother came alive again. Intoxicated by being able to belittle others with his brothers’ help, Francis (and when the name change happened, Fancypants,) partook gleefully. They called Edward every name in the book. They slapped him awake with hands full of shaving cream. Every time he tried to make friends, they found some way to turn them away. And there was, of course, “tetherball.” Tony encouraged all of it, hoping it’d made Edward fight back (and somehow make him a construction company heir, it’s all he thinks of, yeesh.) Susan stayed on the sidelines as much as she disliked what the boys were doing, if only to not get sucked into conflict with Tony.

Edward, doted on as much as he was with gifts and money, was still totally alone and very tired of the whole world. By some act of God, the other brothers never found out about his Veronica doll. Fancypants only found out years later once they made peace, and even then kept it dark from the others considering he had written them off anyway.

From age 18 and on, Fancypants was unstoppable. He worked his way to the very top of the Design Department at the clothing company he worked, becoming its chief by age 30. He had pots of money he had made without his family’s help, was well-liked, and was openly gay. Tony and the other brothers were starting to lose patience with him. He was carving his own path in a way the other brothers, (Cheesly the owner of a chain of gyms, Alpine an NBA all-star,) hadn’t: without fawning over his father and his company in public. This was considered disrespect, and Fancypants rightly refused to stop being his own person. It wasn’t long after the events of “Edward’s Brothers” that Fancypants did indeed break away from the family. They may have hoped that going back to camp to pick on Edward “like old times” would help, but it didn’t.

Fancypants once again was the family black sheep, and he didn’t mind a bit. He even marketed a line of “Black Sheep Woolen Turtlenecks.” That’s just the kind of petty he is. In this new, low-attention span digital age, Fancypants found another avenue for money and fame: social media influencing. He uploaded videos of himself designing, comparing various clothing brands to his own, makeup tutorials, etc., and had millions of followers virtually overnight.

This also exposed him to much online nastiness, and it struck a chord with him. (A very late wakeup call to be sure, but whatever.) He “found” Edward online, and discovered he was out and gay too. At once, Fancypants realized what a jackass he had been, and immediately he set out to find his little brother and make amends if possible. Edward accepted, after first letting Fancypants grovel a bit, and after a bit of awkwardness they’ve since become very tight.

They bond over tea parties, talking smack about their brothers, other people and their fashion choices, having sleepovers and playing tennis on Fancypants’ own personal court at his mansion, and even play dolls together.

Edward’s favorite way to tease Fancypants is to call him a “queer elder.”
