#and more pre-serum steve being spoiled

[mossballs-stuff]

too many soft stucky fics. i expect a fic of bucky hunting steve down like an animal with miscommunication and homoeroticism on my desk in the hour boys

[fandomfluffandfuck]

okay, so I know this isn't really your normal ask/request, but I've had this is my brain for so long, and you are such a fantastic writer, I'd like to present it to you anyway:

stevebucky time travel!!

specifically, steve and bucky after the events of the winter soldier (with bucky in any recovery stage) getting somehow transported to brooklyn in the 1930s and meeting the pre-serum, pre-war steve and bucky.

the reaction to the metal arm? steve getting juiced up? the jealousy and admiration pre-serum steve has for post-serum steve? how baby!stucky deal with their counterparts and lovers. how gentle normally-a-firecracker pre-serum steve is with winter soldier bucky and how thirsty but loving pre-serum bucky is with touch-starved, desperate, lost big steve.

feel absolutely free to imagine any kind of beautiful, deliciously hot scenarios as well, that's definitely your usual jam, and I most definitely enjoy it. I just thought I'd add the heartbreaking parts as well.

This is from the requests I got before I closed my writing requests for the school year, I'm no longer taking requests

You're right that this isn't my "normal" request, but I still love it! I do enjoy writing angst and fluff along with smut <3 So, I'm gonna take this prompt as an excuse to go with the things I don't write as much! Meaning, surprisingly, there's no ✨️spice✨️ in this drabble, lol, just pain

Get ready... </3

The immediate thought I had with this prompt was actually about post-serum Steve rather than recovering Bucky...

When modern Steve and modern Bucky find themselves back before the war--when the days seemed longer and hotter than any of the days after, they share a silent exchange, their eyes boring into each other in the middle of the cracked sidewalk, swapping emotions. Nostalgia. Good and bad nostalgia. Then, as they're ducking into a back alley, quick to jump from sight before they're spotted, tall and large and certainly not dressed for the time, Steve reaches for Bucky's hand.

Their fingertips brush.

And, instantly, they both jolt.

Now clothed in shadows, their eyes meet once more. Steve's eyes flick sharply down to their entangled fingers. Flesh and metal.

It hardly takes a moment for the ingrained memory to take over and their flirting fingertips part ways.

They can't risk touching in public, not when they already are liable to contract attention. They don't need to be arrested in the past. But the shake-up runs deeper than that, too.

Bucky has just gotten to the point where he feels comfortable enough venturing into public without a glove. Long sleeves are typically still a must, but not always gloves.

Steve finds his jaw clenching, not because he's upset with Bucky for not having a glove on him to better hide them. No, of course, not. But because...

What else are they going to do--stranded in the past with no way home until the timeline hiccup decides to resolve itself--but find their past selves? And when they find their younger counterparts, there will be no way to explain a completely different arm in any way that isn't devastating.

Guaranteed, it will petrify younger, past Bucky, and it will make younger, past Steve ache for his lover and fill with fire in pure, justified rage against a Nazi organization that (probably) doesn't even exist yet. Plus, it could trigger modern Bucky. Explaining it himself... maybe even hearing it from modern Steve... it won't do Bucky good. This isn't a good time or place for Bucky to have a panic attack or worse.

Blinking, Steve realizes that they're just staring at each other. Silently hovering around each other, wanting physical comfort, the luxury they've been spoiled with in the 21st century, but being unable to take it.

"It'll be okay," Steve hardens his voice and squares his shoulders, "we just have to--" that's it! His shoulders! He has a jacket on. One of his tan leather jackets. Quickly, he shrugs it off and hands it over to Bucky.

Bucky slips into it, jamming his shaking hands into the pockets. He exhales shakily.

Risking a friendly, pal-ish pat on the shoulder that melts into a more intimate back rub, Steve hopes to a God he doesn't believe much in anymore that this doesn't set Bucky back when they get to the future. He just started to be comfortable with his metal arm! Apparently, being back in the time and place where he was swamped by religion puts the religion back in the forefront of his mind.

"We have to find us," Steve finishes his earlier thought.

Bucky nods tightly.

Steve can tell by the way he looks at the floor he's desperately wishing he has wearing a baseball cap when they were transported back, too. More to hide under. No matter if it would be out of place here.

"Okay, okay," Steve races through his thoughts, "where would, where would we be on a Thursday afternoon in, whatever, whatever year it is now..."

Bucky's eyebrows draw together, "home?"

Steve considers it, tipping his head side to side, "maybe, yeah. I--shit. Do you think we're back far enough that we were still living with our, our parents?"

Shit.

For two reasons.

1) If they're each still in their family homes, it means even more people to explain the situation to.

2) If they're in their family homes... it means Sarah Rogers is still alive. And Steve, Steve doesn't know--

Just thinking about it--

Steve feels his lips quiver, a stone dropping onto the back of his tongue so heavily that it triggers the edge of his gag reflex. Thick, wet salt coming up the back of his throat, pooling in his mouth, a warning that he might vomit.

Steve doesn't know if he will be able to handle that.

He's thought a thousand, million different times about what he would say, what he would do if he could see his Ma again. He's dreamed about it. He's cried about it. He's screamed about it to that God that didn't ever seem to hear him. The unfairness.

If--

If it comes to that, being able to calm Bucky, being able to help Bucky through a triggering situation, will be the exact opposite of Steve's worry. It will be Bucky desperately working to hold him together instead.

Fuck.

Thankfully(?), regretfully(?) that doesn't turn out to be the situation.

The situation of past, younger Steve and Bucky is their cold water walk up. Their first (and only) apartment together before the war. It's in that sweet spot (if you ignore the glaring, awful hardships of the Depression) after Steve had steadied himself, floating above the grief over his Ma and before the war started, before Bucky's draft number was drawn.

Okay.

Okay.

Steve can deal with this.

It's gonna hurt. It's gonna tear him apart, and he'll be licking his wounds for weeks (at least) when they return to the future... to the present? But at least it's not--

Not that.

Steve and Bucky slip up the worn, bowed stairs to their apartment, decide against knocking discreetly, and instead jimmy the handle just right to let themselves inside. They are spared no mercy as immediately, they come face to face with their younger selves.

It feels like--

Like an out of body experience in a fun house. Pure insanity. The mirror image of themselves is warped and changed and standing toe-to-toe with them. Too close. Familiar but separate. They are the same, and they are opposites. The beginning and somewhere near the end, except, wait--the younger versions of themselves are young adults, and the older versions of themselves, themselves, are just adults. So... perhaps not a beginning and an end but middles. Middles staring at each other.

Nebulous and totally discombobulating.

No one makes a sound.

Then--

"What the fuck."

The sound of Steve's own voice echoes back through his ears with his mouth having moved at all. It's jarring. Bewildering because he spoke, but he didn't speak. But it's also bewildering as hell because... holy shit it's weird to hear such a little guy possess such a deep voice. He's never known himself from this angle. He's never--

"Of course it'd be you," Bucky turns to him, his lips curling at one corner.

It's on the tip of his tongue to murmur, "you remember?" But he... he can't. Not in front of them. He needn't reveal memory issues when they don't even know--

Fuck.

Why didn't they just loiter in that alley for a few hours? Waiting for the timeline to snap back.

Why did they come here?

He doesn't want--

He's looking at his younger self and he knows he'd hate him for wanting to protect him; he's looking at the younger version of Bucky with puppy fat clinging to his face and chin and belly and he looks so fucking sweet and soft and Steve feels poised to bend him out of shape in the same violent way you ruin a smooth lump of fresh clay by punching it with your fist.

Fuck. Hot pressure builds behind Steve's eyes. He is poised for destruction. And there is nothing he can do about it. So...

Steve clears his throat.

Where does he begin?

Where does he end?

The whole time that he explains, painting with the broadest brush and the most diluted paint possible, Steve is preparing himself for their younger versions to deservingly fuss over his Bucky. So, when his younger, much, much smaller self steps forward, uncrosses his arms over his thin chest, and extends a hand to his forearm, feathering his fingers against the bunched muscle and whispers, a raw edge to his voice, "why don't you come sit down then, you look exhausted," it hurts.

It hits Steve so hard.

Steve is talking to him. He's not talking to Bucky and him. He's talking to Steve alone. Staring him right in the eyes. Knowing.

He was--

He was waiting for rage from himself. He was waiting for terror and grief and numbness from the past Bucky. He was waiting for pretend-detached, monotone, vague answers from his Bucky who came from the future (the present?) with him.

He wasn't--

He was not expecting his younger self to see through it all as if he's transparent and prod one of his boney fingers right into the hole inside him. He was never scared to go up against anyone, though, no matter if they're twice his size or bigger. So, maybe he shouldn't be surprised. It doesn't mean it doesn't make his legs feel more sturdy, though.

Steve doesn't recognize until he sits down on their worn, mostly springs and flattened, shitty cushioning couch with a metallic squeak that neither of the Buckys followed them. It's just the two of them. Him. Steve and Steve. Younger and smaller and older and bigger. What an odd pair.

Peering over his shoulder, Steve sees them in the kitchen, looking at each other. The younger, shorter Bucky is stuck in place, and his Bucky is reaching forward, lifting his hand. His metal hand. He's offering. He's unhesitatant and steady as he slips out of his leather jacket and rolls up the fabric of his long sleeve so the younger Bucky can see. A swirl of pride curls through Steve, warm and budding--a spring flower.

A throat clears.

Steve.

Steve swings his head back to face... himself.

God.

It's still weird.

It's nothing like walking into a room that smells bad and relaxing into it, going blind to the stench after you acclimate. It's still fucking strange. Shivers crawl up his spine, leaving his hair with no choice but to stand on end. Hyper-aware.

His younger self hasn't had a seat on the broken, thread-bear armchair or on the practically decaying couch beside him. Instead, he steps closer and closer, one surprisingly large foot in front of the other over loose, rickety floorboards. He looms into his space, presence much larger than seems possible for his small, sickly frame.

"How are you?" He asks, bushy eyebrows drawn together.

The look on Steve's face must convey his thoughts, shouldn't I be asking you that?

"Don't you know?" Younger Steve answers his mute inquiry, "you were--" he frowns "--you were a version of me."

Steve nods emptily, "I guess."

The pale sounds of the Buckys conversing in the kitchen fills the space between them like static until... younger Steve floats his hand into the gap, the empty space, reaching and reaching toward him, giving him plenty of time to flinch, anticipating that Steve will scowl and move out of the way, still allergic to being babied. But Steve doesn't move.

It is impossible to twitch, to move, to dodge. His muscles have turned to stone--at any other time, it would be funny; he recalls Bucky's shock the first time he saw him in this body, proclaiming he must be a Greek or Roman statue.

He feels like a statue.

A statue that melts the moment his younger self's fingertips grace his forehead. This version of himself from this past echoes himself from earlier, "you seem tired," his cold, poor-circulation touch draws the strands hair swept against his face back into his more modern, brushed back style.

Steve sighs with the weight pressing on his shoulders. It feels even heavier than usual.

Maybe... maybe he should've expected this.

He remembers the fatigue that pulled at his bones, tugging until he was slogged down into the mud and could hardly move; his heart struggling to beat, his thoughts fighting their way to conference-y, his mood dampening to constant exhaustion. If anyone can read the weight on his shoulders through the lines on his forehead and the slump of his back, of course, it would be his younger self.

The weight of his illnesses have been gone for years at this point, but they've been replaced and doubled by the weight of a moniker, which means nothing to this version of himself.

Suddenly, there is no point pretending.

Was it really so long ago that he was this version of himself? Was he really so young when he was made the face of the war? How young was he when he awoke to be the face of a new effort? A new team? How young is he now?

Steve barely stifles a sudden, chest-squeezing sound. A sob?

His younger self says nothing. He only steps in closer. Close enough for Steve to bury his face in the concave, hard plane of his stomach, and ring his hands around his boney, thin hips. His entire waist fits in the circle of Steve's index fingers and thumbs. Two hands. He feels each clumsy beat of his heart. He feels the stutter of his uneven breaths. He feels how cool he is, even right here at his core. How is he standing? How is he taking his weight? Steve may be tired, but his younger self must be exhausted. He can't--

How could he burden his y--

"Nope," his younger self holds his shoulders in both hands. Fingers digging in sharply, intent on getting his message across and not afraid to be mean about it. "You're not going anywhere."

This time, Steve does sob. Audibly. He is tired. He's so tired.

To conclude:

I have lots of emotions about post-serum Steve and the world taking advantage of his strength.

Thank you for the request!

P.S. I kept listening to this while I was writing:

[cloudbells]

yeah the general attitude towards pre serum steve in the fandom has always been weird imo...

like from thinking he'd hate himself for being "small" or that he'd have to depend solely on bucky to get food or clothes or housing?? like where is that idea even coming from? in the scenes we see from pre-war steve and bucky don't even seem to live together, and are both dressed well? steve is short (but not even that short? he's like 5'7! that's like tony's height!) and thin, and obviously he's got his illnesses, but he never seems embarrassed by that? he only seems frustrated by that when OTHER people reduce him to it (which is what the fandom does lol) like when bucky doesn't want him to join the army and tells him to collect scrap metal or work at a factory, or when the army recruiters reject him...

sorry for the run on sentence rant lol hopefully it makes some sense 😂

There are a lot of people who seem to think that Steve was 100% reliant on Bucky. It's not something I ever subscribed to, but I think half of it is like, shipping possibilities and it being romantic to some and the other half are people who genuinely think that's the only way Steve could have lived. I don't understand the 2nd group seeing as, like you said, in the movie they don't live together. Bucky, loving Steve of course, offered, but Steve declined. I'm a thousand percent sure that Bucky supported Steve in the things he couldn't do or provide, but he wasn't his sugar daddy or anything. Side note: I need more fics of people spoiling Steve - get to writing people!!

One thing you mentioned is actually cracking me up so bad because I think about this all the time, but I don't think I've ever shared it - the height thing. What is going on with the height in the MCU fandom. I'm mostly on the stony side, so that's what I can speak on, but Steve and Tony, even in the MCU, are NOT wildly different heights.

I know some people go by their actors heights instead of what's canon - wait, but maybe I'm confusing myself. Tony's height in the MCU, visually, is kind of inconsistent. Probably because it's based on whether or not RDJ felt like wearing boosters in his shoes. But in general, I think I see Tony and Steve as similar-ish heights?

Although, I have to confess....short!top and tall!bottom is a gift (that I lowkey prefer ngl)...but then I get salty because 90% of fics don't cater to my specific taste. Can you believe it?

Anyways, I got wildly off topic there. I agree a lot of people portray pre-serum Steve very oddly in fandom. He isn't helpless and omg - one thing that pisses me off every time I see it is people blaming Steve for getting beat up by other people. They imply that if he's not physically equipped to step in, then he's asking for violence - or even worse, people peg HIM as the aggressor just because he doesn't have the physical strength to back up his morals. Isn't that kinda fucked up? I don't know if I explained this right, but I have argued over the theatre scene many times and these people DO exist y'all!

One more thing though - I don't think Bucky is wrong for telling Steve to stop trying to join the army. He doesn't want Steve to die, and Steve, without being noticed by higher ups for some freaky human experimentation, would have absolutely died very quickly in WW2. I don't even think the army is wrong for denying him entry either. I think what fandom does and what Bucky did are different categories!

Omg though, yappaholic cloudbells has returned haha! Thanks for sending this in!

[72stars]

been thinkin' about my turtle designs for my main ideas (+ the latest Designs Only As Much As Possible I Refuse For This To Turn Into Another Major Idea idea, Neon, but not including the crossover). including all-red masks + all-red masks with white eyes for fun

also been thinking about my interpretations of the turtles and how it affects my design philosophies for them but now that it's time to actually write them down I can't think of them, lol orz. (then I tried and wound up with a thread so long twitter refused to let me continue it)

aaand attempt 2 also failed so trying to summarize my thoughts as much as possible:

tone: Heart (a little serious, a little goofy - 1990 movie meets Rise-ish?), Hardshell (serious, melancholy but hopeful), Revanchism (tragedy), Neon (Saturday morning cartoon - simple, a little

dumb, exists so I can force myself to make a villain Shredder instead of a tragic millenial trashboy Shredder)

characters: Lavinia! she's the one in the middle. I just wanted to make a girl turtle who's there from the beginning and put her in Heart and she spread out from there. (and isn't there from the start in Hardshell but it works story and thematically) wanted an archetype not shared by the brothers and without a lot of overlap and so she's the "gloomy" one. a little gothic, melancholy, Edgar Allan Poe. quiet, gentle, and deadpan in Heart,

a quiet, fearful toddler rescued from Sacks Industries in Hardshell, not in Revanchism to limit the cast list, Neon is archetypes so... gloomy!

Leonardo! leader, under pressure, protective of his family, renaissance man/jack of all trades as per his namesake. tends toward the overly serious, but mellows out if he lives long enough (and has a sweet, goofy side he doesn't really show anyone but his twin Raph in Heart, out of fear his younger siblings won't listen if he's himself around them and wanting to present himself as the perfect ninja/leader/brother/son at all times), tends to have anxiety issues. self-loathing and overprotective in Hardshell, Splinter's perfect soldier (or tries to be) in Revanchism. most likely to be visibly A Turtle unless in disguise or it's cold - least likely to wear a full outfit, tends to look closest to "standard", 'cause leader. (though begins to wear more clothes over time in Hardshell, reflecting his increasing acceptance of April & Casey as family and of the turtles as being part of the neighborhood - themes of found family & community)

Raphael! rebellious, independent, anger issues, continues the grand tradition of Raph usually being the first if not only turtle to cry across multiple continuities, loves his family if doesn't always know how to interact with them. not some jerk jock or cop, I will FIGHT you- anyway! rough 'n' tumble, I like to give him scars (and often missing or damaged body parts, though while they add to the roughness of his appearance, generally aren't from fighting) and elements of punk/rock/grunge kinds of aesthetics. Heart is heavily Rise-influenced, a gentle big brother sort, but with a stronger emphasis on his temper, and violent mood swings he has to work to control. Hardshell is a moody pre-serum Steve Rogers little shit, well-meaning and kind but will fight you and everybody. Revanchism is spoiled but sweet, easily frustrated and

snappish when so, but doesn't really start showing his temper until a certain incident sends everything on a downward spiral. in hindsight only Hardshell and Neon are particularly rebellious, lol. oops

Donatello! heavy 2003 influence all around, sweet and gentle but will destroy you if sufficiently provoked and backed into a corner (think SAINW). a gentle heart who blames himself for Raph's missing arm (despite Raph reassuring him it wasn't his fault) in Heart, bitter toward Splinter and frustrated with Leo but protective and kind in Hardshell, curious, kind, but a deeply concerning strategist in Revanchism. usually has some kind of bag and/or a lot of pockets to carry things with, is generally the team medic and/or comms guy, and likes to be prepared.

Michelangelo! friendly, but as per tradition generally whatever that story needs him to be. :V friendly but cynical vtuber streamer, artist, and bioengineered supersoldier in Heart, smol bean to sweet but frustrated teen in Hardshell, concerned older brother in Revanchism. likes clothes and fashion, generally likes humans and socializing the most

does any of this make sense? am I explaining myself well? probably not but also I am tired and I give up, thank you and I'm sorry if you read any of this lol ;u;

[mylevisdontfitanymore]

It’s just the Fat Pre-Serum Steve ask gave me an idea, wanted to see what you think of it?Nothing much, just Immobile Steve and College Boy Bucky taking a job as a nurse to help him?Rich Rogers, Sarah works and Steve spends his days in their house, is helped out of bed on a morning by her, helped to waddle to the sofa in the living room, and spends the day there eating? It happened over the course of the pandemic, he was getting there before but it just worsened it, so now that she’s going back to work she looks for someone to spend the day with him and give him whatever he’ll he needs? Bucky takes the job cause the pay’s good and he’s training to be nurse or doctor or something anyway?

Pre-serum Steve ask

I love the idea of Steve needing a nurse to help him out because he's so fat!

But I also I can't help but go off script with the idea of Bucky being brought on as his personal assistant for rich Steve Rogere and not really a nurse because I will always be a sucker for Bucky watching Steve get fatter and fatter and slowly discovering as they are around each other just how much Steve loves to stuff himself which... Bucky love it too 🥵

So, inspired by your ask, maybe Bucky is in college part-time to be a nurse but he can't pay for it and doesn't wanna take out loans so he needs a part-time job and he figures being around Steve as a personal assistant is sort of like a nursing job... more assisted living nursing but still. He gets paid WELL and can go to his classes when he needs to, hanging around Steve the rest of the time. So, of course, he took the job when it was offered to him.

Warnings for: unbeta'd, belly kink, immobility/morbid obesity, stuffing, chugging, humiliation play, consensual fat-shaming, consensual name-calling, rich and spoiled Steve lol, etc.

And, YUP, as Steve gets fatter and fatter Bucky does a little more nursing duties like helping him out of bed. Or, when he's really, really heavy, washing Steve 😳 like- imagine: Bucky sudsing up all that lovely fat blubber in the places that he can't reach, pausing to allow Steve rinse himself (doing what he can all by himself), then drying him off or at least drying all those hard to reach spots... and if Steve has recently eaten (re: always) then it's extra good. Be washed and tried that is. It makes Steve's chubby knees weak, feeling the exorbitantly soft towel over his stretched, flushed skin with the perfectly firm pressure of Bucky's hands behind it. 🤤🤤🤤 Bucky doesn't help with a ton, ton of stuff though. Just what Steve can sweet talk him into doing for him beyond the regular cooking, cleaning, and shopping Bucky already does for him.

(And apologies if that isn't extreme enough/what you had in mind with nurse-esque duties. I'm personally not one for fetishizing health issues when it comes to weight gain kink (not that you specifically are or that I am ignoring those possible issues, they can and do happen, they're just not hot to me y’know?))

On the job though, have more random thots about nurse/PA Bucky and fat, rich Steve:

The first time Bucky walks in on Steve unannounced and catches him rubbing his own bloated, overfed stomach, Bucky had been opening his mouth to ask if Steve wants him to run out and get some pepto-bismal or something to soothe his stomach ache but... the words never come out of his mouth because he looks up at Steve's face before he asks and finds him flushed and, uh, biting his lip, clearly obsessed with touching himself. His gut. It's not hurt or discomfort but enjoyment. Oh. Bucky is struck dumb by the realization. Bucky stays long enough to watch Steve dig his own hands in a little harder to his gut, making himself burp (which actually ends in a moan), and then rushes off.

Bucky has a very confusing wet dream paired then with some self-realization later that week 😳

He wants to hear Steve make sounds like that more. He wants to touch Steve's bloated, fat stomach like that. He wants to mark his body with even more stretch marks- proof that he has such little self control, having grown up with a silver spoon (that was always loaded up with food) between his lips, has made him greedy. So greedy that he will eat and eat until he's bursting at the seams. His skin struggling to keep up. He wants to cook for him like he has but he wants to cook twice as much and shove all of it down his throat, until he's begging to stop. Until he's visibly bloated, under that thick, thick layer of fat.

Steve gets stuck on his back in bed sometimes, especially after Bucky starts helping him reach his goals... i.e. helping him get larger and larger. Rounder and rounder. Fatter and fatter until he's wider around then he is tall, waddling under all of his fat as it stacks up in rolls. And when he does get stuck, Bucky really has to put his back into hauling him upright. Bucky jokes once or twice that he needs to take the time to return to his gym routine, weight lifting, so he can keep up with Steve's ballooning form rather than forcing to the Rogers' to hire even more help. Taking more than two arms to heave such a fatty up from lying on his back, his big, rotund belly crushing his lungs. Pinning him.

Rich, spoiled Steve moans the loudest when he's sitting on the couch, hands on his belly with his belly filling his lap - is gut heavy enough to drop between his thighs and force his legs apart - as he gulps down another weight gain shake. It's funny, how he can make a sound that loud when he's guzzling down more calories. More calories in that one shake than he should be having all day. Sweet and thick and- the only thing that could be worse for Steve would be if he were guzzling down pure lard that resulted in instant plumping. As is... well, those shakes pack on the pounds as fast as possible. Insulating the little bear even better, so fattened up for hibernation that Steve could survive multiple consecutive winter's without going hungry. He would be hungry though- Steve is always hungry. Again, he's greedy.

But yeah..... nothing makes Steve moan as loud as when he's on the couch, belly exploding out in front of him, with Bucky tipping the bottom of the glass farther up, encouraging him over the sound of his ragged moan, "drink up," Bucky purrs, "c'mon, there's more shake waiting for you in the blender. I bet it'll fill another two glasses at least. And all of it is going in this tank-" Bucky thumps his belly and feels his own gut swoop, aroused by how tight his gut is under the plush fat that's packed onto his otherwise small frame. He's more fat than anything else. Steve hiccups around another moan drunkenly. Bucky continues, "I know you don't care about waste, brat, but I do. And you're gonna have it all. Drink. Up. Mr. Rogers-" the dig at their professional relationship makes Steve squirm that much harder, the kinky fucker, "-God, I can't believe you, you spoiled brat. You hired someone to make you fatter-" Bucky scoots closer to Steve, slapping the side of his huge h u g e gut and adding while he watches all of his blubber jiggle in waves, "what's wrong with you? Who wants to be fat? No one. You're fucking weird." because he knows how much Steve likes the humiliation (and Bucky knows he himself likes the way his pale, freckled skin flushes red). He says it regardless of the fact that Bucky himself is right there with Steve. "Your obese already, y’know? Yet here you are, moaning and begging for more. You greedy, spoiled brat. You're gonna eat yourself right out of your clothes and then I'm gonna have to go to your tailor again. Tsk. Tsk. Guess that's the only good thing about all this-" he pretends to be disgusted with Steve as he gestures to the massive shape of him, spread out over the couch, making the cushions dent impressively "-you have the money to afford getting fat, huh? All the food you could ever dream of stuffing into your face. Sized up and sized up and sized up until you can't shop for clothes. They're all made huge. Fucking custom. All the healthcare you need to stay healthy, paying for it easy. If you have to fly, you'd have to buy two, three seats. You don't fit in just one. You're so huge. The size of two, three people, fat ass. Tsk. Tsk. You have more money than what you know to do with, figures you'd have to match it with more fat that you can even see." Steve has finished his shake and is now breathing as if he just ran, well, if he just tried to run anywhere. Bucky is so, so turned on. He can't imagine how gone for this Steve is. It much be torture with the weight of his gut piled on top of his cock. "When was the last time you saw your own toes, Mr. Rogers?" Steve moan desperately. "What about your dick? Have you even seen it in years?"

Steve is gonna pass out. Stomach stuffed painfully, fantastically with Bucky talking down to him too-? FUCK. He's gonna die on his goddamn couch.

That's all. I can't take anymore 🥵🥵🥵

Ria’s Top 10 Shrinkyclinks Fics

I will admit this isn’t my preferred AU -- I won’t immediately jump on a fic just because it’s pre-serum Steve and WS Bucky. I gotta like the plot, or the premise, or be really, really intrigued by the tags, but to be fair, that’s how I am with everything that isn’t Modern Bucky and Cap Steve, so. That being said, I have read some truly fantastic shrinkyclinks stories, and I do very much love Steven “Fight Me” Rogers at his scrappiest. And these fics also tend to feature protective!Bucky which is another personal favorite of mine. Oh, but also: shrinkyclinks generally refers to pre-serum Steve with actual Winter Soldier Bucky, but a lot of people use the tag just to imply body types, and when they say WS Bucky they mean he’s all huge and muscled and sometimes has a metal arm, though that isn’t required. That’s the definition I’m going with as well, so hopefully nothing’s confusing!

1. If Wishing Made It So by leveragehunters. Before I get into anything about the actual fic, let me say this: leveragehunters is probably my favorite stucky writer. Like, hands-down, I read almost everything they write, and they’re big into fantasy stories, which is a great bonus for me personally. So, so, so many good shrinkyclinks fics by them (Even Underneath the Waves, a mermaid AU that features equal amounts of pre- and post-serum Steve, and A-mage-ing Grace with mage Steve are two of my other favorites, and they would’ve been on the list, but I try not to put more than one story per author, ya know? And IWMIS kinda wins out above the others for me, so). This story features jinn!Bucky who finds himself in the baffled hands of Steve Rogers, who is perfectly prickly and stubborn and good. Bucky’s got a terrible past with humans in general (and Hydra in particular, what a shocker) that he and Steve have to overcome as their relationship progresses, but that progression is frankly beautiful to watch unfold. I come back to this story time and time again because of how much I love these versions of Steve and Bucky getting to know one another, learning to trust each other, supporting each other through the worst the world has to throw at them. Plus, there’s a few more stories in this series if you get as hooked as I am, which is always great!!

2. Roots Have Grown by AustinB. I remember reading this and just... completely feeling what Bucky is going through. Not everything -- he’s an agoraphobic veteran, and I can’t relate to either of those, really, but he’s so... awkward about his crush on Steve. And that’s -- that’s relatable to me. But it’s precious, really, how he tries to help Steve even though he’s afraid to actually meet him initially; he becomes Steve’s sort of... anonymous benefactor? Guardian angel with money? Like, it’s definitely a sugar daddy type deal originally but I doubt Bucky would describe it like that. I don’t know, it’s cute, though, and I loved seeing Bucky opening up to Steve as they became closer. 

3. Through The Woods by VenusMonstrosa, alby_mangroves. Okay, hear me out: werewolves. I fucking love werewolves in fiction; I mean, not really the romance novels you’ll see in the grocery store, but. Werewolf mythology is one of my favorite things, so seeing it in fanfiction almost always manages to lure me in. And I was so not disappointed with this story! Steve’s living alone in a cabin in the woods, which of course sounds like the opening to a horror movie, but here it leads to love. Werewolf Bucky is both charming and terrifying, to a degree, he’s a wolf, but he and Steve are fantastic together. This is another story that goes in on the trust aspect of their relationship and I for one am a big fan of that. There’s some violence, minor character death and the like, but it’s definitely not undeserved so. If you can handle that (and the sex, because there is sex in this) then I highly recommend this one!

4. The Joy of Little Things by obsessivereader, Sealcat. And so we move from werewolves to dragons. Yup. Dragons. Another of my beloved mythical creatures that I obsessed over when I was kid. Bucky’s capable of shifting into a human in this, but primarily he’s a big ol’ dragon that surprisingly doesn’t want to eat the scrawny sacrifice from the local village. Steve ends up working for Bucky, instead, and from there hilarity ensues. Steve’s obviously wary of Bucky, but Bucky isn’t at all what he’d been expecting, and they grow closer the longer Steve’s staying in Bucky’s caves. There are a couple of stories with Dragon!Bucky, but this is my personal favorite; it’s cute and heart-warming and, well. I just really like it. 

5. I Just Want to Love You in My Own Language by agetwellcard, inediblesushi. So this one has Cap!Bucky (Bucky!Cap?) but again, sometimes it’s more about how Bucky looks rather than his role as the Winter Soldier. Anyway, I remember my biggest take away from this story was how adorable Bucky was in his quest to win the affections of sassy Nurse Steve, who patches him up after missions and is probably playing hard to get. Bucky uses terrible pick-up lines, absolutely awful, and he is completely unashamed of that fact. Which is, as I said, adorable. Steve, initially, does not agree with my assessment, but he gets there eventually. After some requisite drama, of course.

6. Tint & Shade by forestofbabel. Oh, god, this one hurt me, I remember that pretty clearly. Bucky is the Winter Soldier in this, and Steve is a 21st century art therapist who just so happens to resemble his late grandfather, Captain Joseph Rogers, who fought in -- you guessed it -- WWII. Like I said in the intro, if I really like the premise of something I’ll usually read it regardless of the configuration of pre-/post-serum Steve and pre-serum/WS Bucky, and this was definitely one of the fics I got into for that reason. Having actual WS Bucky interact with a modern pre-serum Steve is always interesting, given how much they don’t have in common, generally (there isn’t even really the veteran status that modern Bucky sometimes has in fics), and it’s a journey to see how and why they connect. Having Steve resemble his WWII era grandfather caught my attention, and the fic itself made me grateful that I decided to go for it in the first place. This is another one where is trust is key to their relationship, considering the mental/emotional state Bucky is in at the beginning. Very good story overall!

7. Fourth Floor by dirtybinary, mithborien, picoalloe. So dirtybinary has written some amazing stucky fics, which is why I was so excited when I saw this being posted initially (a few years ago, but still). There’s magic! Mystery! Suspense! Some NatSharon! Looking this over, I’m wondering if I should’ve saved it for the Urban Fantasy list I wanna do (and If Wishing Made It So, if I’m being honest) but I do like it for the shrinkyclinks list. The writing is great, the characterization of Steve and Bucky is great, and like, they live in what is essentially a magical apartment complex, so what’s better than that? 

8. my heart tells me you are lonely, too by FanGirling. Alright, so I read this one as it was being published, and the slow burn about killed me. You know, in a good way, though. Bucky lives in Steve and his mother’s apartment building, trying to figure out where to go with his life now that he’s broken free of Hydra and gotten his autonomy back. He’s obviously wary, skittish, but he takes a liking to Sarah Rogers when she reaches out to befriend him, surprised anyone wants to be near him let alone take the time to get to know him. Steve... is not so easily sold on Bucky. And I’m not gonna spoil anything here, but the shit these two go through is intense, and I cried a lot during this fic, sometimes out of frustration because they’re both ridiculous about their feelings (of course Bucky’s fears are valid, the man has been through literal hell, but also I was internally screaming a little as Bucky continually talked himself out of getting closer to Steve.) I wanted to wrap the both of them in about thirty blankets for pretty much the entire length of the fic. God. They’re just -- they’re so incredibly sweet in this one, once they work past their issues (Bucky and Steve are both more than a little messed up from their respective circumstances, but they make it work). Mind the tags on this one, also, especially because there is a chapter that deals with attempted sexual assault against Steve (obviously not with Bucky!), but Bucky handles the situation before anything truly nasty happens, that I can promise. 

9. Local Raccoon Befriends Angry Chihuahua by charlesdk. This is yet another author I really love; they have a fantastic farmer!Steve/Modern!WS!Bucky story that I love to bits, as well as other great fics. But anyway, this one. The title sold me the second I saw it, honestly, I can’t even pretend that wasn’t the deciding factor in me reading this. I don’t think I can really do any better than the summary in explaining why I recommend it; feisty tiny Steve and lovestruck grumpy Bucky are a winning combination in my book. This one does feature the boys dealing with homophobia and ableism, though I can’t recall how severe it is. So I’d just mind the tags, and if you’re alright with them, thoroughly enjoy this story. 

10. The Road to Hell is Paved with Tony’s Good Intentions by pinlilli. Bucky as a mail-order Russian bride. That’s the detail that pretty much demanded I click on this fic, and oh my god, it was even better than I ever could’ve expected. Tony, in a bid to help Steve get over his awful ex-boyfriend (fuck Brock Rumlow in every universe, honestly), literally orders him a husband -- in the form of beefy James Barnes, who is a fucking gem and I will not hear one bad word against him. He does chores, it’s lovely and adorable, and you will definitely fall just as hard as Steve does. There’s some canon-typical violence in this one that relates to James’ past, but nothing super graphic as far as I remember. Again, Rumlow is a dick and should be treated as such, but he’s hardly the most important part of this fic and I urge everyone to take a look at it if they’re as intrigued by Bucky being a mail-order husband as I was.

I finally get the anger about Thor: Ragnarok

I’ll admit it: I saw it the first time in the theatre and loved it, because it seemed funny and fresh. And it was absolutely what started me on the Thorki Spiral, which I hadn’t shipped before.

It was also where I really started to get emotionally invested in the MCU, and started plumbing more of the meta depths online, and understanding the character arcs beyond the plot arcs. And of course I’ve spent two years on this blue hellsite, enjoying the GIFs and the fics and the art.

But I didn’t actually rewatch the movie.

And last night I sat down to rewatch it, and... wow.

Wow, it is really not funny.

I recall reading a defense of Taika Waititi’s choices in this film, and how he is deconstructing colonialism and puncturing the White CisHet Male Hero myth, and I totally get all that. All the NZ/Aussie voices and aboriginal cultural influences are genuinely refreshing.

But I also recall reading Waititi’s casual dismissal of the Thor comic canon, and how he viewed Thor and Loki as “rich spoiled boys whining about their problems.” How he sees Loki as an “emo goth kid” who needs to grow up. How he deliberately ignored everything which had come before. And I recall reading about Hemsworth’s boredom with Noble Thor and how he longed to do more comedy.

The problem with Ragnarok is that Waititi views the protagonists as bad guys.

Bad Guys need to be punished. They need to lose.

I was intrigued by how Odin, by way of Hela, was framed as a conqueror, and how that part of history needed to be acknowledged and rejected. But: 1) Odin was already previously presented as a bad guy because of his shit parenting 2) the narrative re-rejects that point of view by redeeming him on the cliff in Norway just before his discorporation. Odin is never punished for his conquering rampages. He never has to acknowledge what he stole, or how he hurt people or entire cultures, or make reparations. He never has to admit what he did to Loki. He just gets to melt away and join Frigga.

In Waititi’s view, the White CisHet Male Heroes who think too much of themselves and need to be taken down a peg are... Thor and Loki. The title character and the canonically queer/pan/genderfluid outsider.

Yes, Thor and Loki are played by White CisHet Male actors. That does not make both characters White CisHet Males. (And let’s be clear: while there’s a lot of White CisHet Male Privilege going around which can certainly stand to be dismantled, “White CisHet Male” isn’t automatically equivalent to “evil jackass.” Thor’s identity as a White CisHet Male doesn’t mean that by definition the narrative has to break him.)

Loki was not a conqueror in the MCU — not the way Odin was. Loki’s “conquest” was canonically forced at the hand of the actual enemy, Thanos, who tortured and brainwashed him, and was controlling him via the Mind Stone.

Loki is not a colonizer. Loki is an outsider, an Other. He may present as White Cis Male, but he doesn’t have to, and he hasn’t always. There’s the wink from Jeff Goldblum and the implication that Loki was sleeping with him to “gain his favor,” but this is presented as more of a joke on Loki than anything else. And that’s what the entire narrative does: repeatedly make Loki the butt of the joke.

Poking fun at the people in power is a well-worn narrative device. Using humor to puncture legend, to remove power from people who claimed it illegitimately and at the expense of the less powerful, is a classic function of storytelling and should absolutely be celebrated.

Mocking Thor’s pompousness? Keeping him off-balance? Cutting his hair, having him whack himself in the head with Hulk’s sparring ball? Sure, why not. Because Thor is the hero. He is the center of the narrative. He is the one who has taken power and needs to learn to live without it to grow.

Except... that was the arc of the first Thor movie. Thor is not the arrogant shitheel he used to be. And Thor doesn’t grow or change in Ragnarok. There’s no character arc. He just... blithely sails on, pursuing what he thinks is right. Granted that what he claims to be pursuing is “saving the people of Asgard,” which is a noble and selfless goal, Thor personally doesn’t change. He’s as goofy and blustery in the post-credits stinger as he is in the pre-credits scene where he’s dangling in chains.

The only moment which can remotely be framed as “change and growth” is “Are you ‘Thor, God of Hammers’?” Which, again, could have been really powerful, as Thor learned that he didn’t need the literal mark of Odin’s approval (a measure of his “worthiness”) to channel his divine powers, but it ended up being an admittedly kick-ass action scene. And he’s never shown as being utterly helpless without Mjolnir; the hammer is an excellent weapon, but not his only one.

And Loki? Loki doesn’t have power, not in the narrative sense. Loki didn’t rampage over entire realms, not of his own volition. He did not steal or kidnap. Loki was never in line for the throne; that is, again, the entire plot of the first Thor movie. Loki has nothing to puncture. Attacking someone in power to even the scales is justice. Attacking the powerless is just bullying.

Which is what it felt like Waititi was doing, over and over: bullying Loki. Dr. Strange, who has been studying sorcery for what, 18 months? can outwit Loki, who has been a seidmadr trained by the seidkona Frigga for over a thousand years? Strange sends Loki into a portal where he is falling for half an hour?

When did Loki fall last? Off the Bifrost. When he was committing suicide. When he was captured by Thanos, who then tortured him for six months.

Oh yes, that’s something to make fun of. But Waititi wouldn’t know that, would he, because he made a point of ignoring the characters’ histories.

Thor being casual, callous, even rude, to the beloved brother he thought had died in his arms years ago? Thor putting an electrical torture device on his beloved brother, the man he defended to the entire Avengers, the man he refused to surrender to Midgardian authorities, and leaving him there to suffer? Thor mocking his beloved brother, telling him he needs to change and grow? Loki is the bloody god of chaos. How is Loki the character who hasn’t grown and changed?

But Waititi wouldn’t know any of their past interactions, because he made a point of ignoring the characters’ histories.

Waititi just saw the most superficial possible reading of these two characters and assumed that they were ripe for punishment — that they needed to be reduced. Which is what he did, proudly. So when the fandom reacts and complains that he’s disrespecting beloved characters, what he hears is that we’re defending White CisHet Male Privilege.

Waititi thinks he dismantled two copies of Obidiah Stane. The fandom saw him bludgeoning Bisexual Steve Rogers, Pre- and Post-Serum. You don’t pick on the little guy. You don’t reduce your hero.

Thor and Loki’s rich and complex history, even just in the MCU, is completely ignored. It’s reduced to the throwaway line of “You faked your death” (which is not what happened) and “I mourned you! I cried for you!” and Thor’s anger that Loki managed to survive. Not relief that Loki is still alive, but offense. And if the script had explored that more — “Why did you pretend to be dead? Why did you hide in Odin’s guise? Why didn’t you find a way to let me know what happened? If you were hiding as Odin, why didn’t you act as Odin?” — I would even have bought that. There is, in fact, a lot to unpack there. But that would have meant exploring everything that happened off-screen between the Thor movies. It would have meant studying that history, acknowledging it, and expanding on it. And Waititi saw Two Spoiled Rich Kids and had no interest.

The problem with Ragnarok is not the humor, or the outsider perspective from a Maori director. The problem is that the creator chose the wrong targets. I have learned in the past two years how many fans have come to identify with Loki the outsider, and Waititi deliberately chose to remain ignorant of that aspect of the character. He created two strawman versions of the characters and proceeded to tear them apart.

I am less hopeful now for Thor: Love and Thunder than I was. I don’t know how important Jane Foster’s storyline is in the comics, but if he ignored Thor and Loki, it’s not unreasonable to imagine he’d ignore Jane’s history too. I may have defended Waititi’s Ragnarok before. I won’t do so again.

Baby Mine: Bonus “EOTL” Story (Pre-Serum Alpha!Steve and Amputee Omega!Bucky)

Nine:

Before Bucky could say anything else, Steve pushed into him. The first breach of Steve's cockhead caused the pair to erupt into synchronized moans. Long and drawn out to the point where Bucky briefly worried about the pups hearing them until he remembered that their rooms were on the other side of the house and the walls were thick. Only for Steve to quickly muffle them by passionately pressing his lips to Bucky's. Keeping their mouths together, swallowing down each other's gasps as Steve fully seated himself in Bucky's tight, slick cavern.

While Steve stilled with their hips flush with Bucky's ass, waiting for Bucky to adjust, Bucky wasn't in the mood for his mate's consideration. Arching his back to push himself further onto Steve's dick, Bucky instructed, "Move. Stevie, baby, for the love of god, move."

"You have any idea how good you feel?" Steve breathlessly complimented as he started easing out. When just the tip was still enveloped, Steve deeply thrust back into the well-stretched hole, "Being with you is intoxicating." Kissing down Bucky's neck, Steve playfully admitted, "Just like a drug."

As he started pulling out again, Bucky teased, "Are ya a Twilight fan, Stevie?"

Pausing his movement, Steve leaned back so he could look at Bucky. Amused, Steve chuckled, "What?"

"Twilight," Bucky giggled, running his hand down Steve's back until he had a good grasp on his ass and tugged the petite alpha in again. As Steve started thrusting back into Bucky, the omega breathlessly explained, "Edward says that Bella's scent is a drug. His, 'own personal brand of heroin.'"

Steve quirked an eyebrow at Bucky, silently questioning his mate. Since Steve clearly wasn't going to say anything, Bucky rolled his hips, meeting his mate's movement thrust for thrust. Steve rested his forehead on Bucky's broad shoulder while he started picking up the pace, thoroughly wrapped up in the moment.

Soon enough, Bucky was losing himself in the sensation of Steve's hard cock expertly moving inside of him. Losing himself in the harsh breaths huffing over his skin. In the moans, groans, and grunts, oh my! It was all so tantalizing that Bucky nearly forgot about his lame joke until Steve suddenly barked out a laugh.

"What?" Bucky panted, pushing his own hair off his sweaty forehead.

Steve tenderly kissed Bucky's shoulder before lifting his head to look at his mate, "I can't believe you brought up a problematic teen drama while having sex."

"You're the one who made the comment!" Bucky defended. Threading his fingers through Steve's sweaty blond strands, Bucky good-naturedly argued, "If ya didn't want me to think about it, you shouldn't have quoted it."

Fondly shaking his head, Steve simply replied, "It's a good thing you're cute."

Wiggling his eyebrows, Bucky taunted, "You think I'm cute?"

"I guess," Steve mocked, thrusting deeply, nailing Bucky's prostate harshly enough to punch out a surprised gasp of pleasure from him.

Reaching down, Bucky momentarily bypassed his own erect dick to rub at the loose skin around Steve's cock. Although Steve couldn't knot, that didn't mean that he didn't get pleasure from having that area stimulated just like any other alpha. And because Steve was a good, selfless man, Bucky knew that he deserved to experience all the pleasure that Bucky could give him.

"Fuck," Steve's breath hitched while his eyes rolled to the back of his head.

"How ya feelin', Stevie?" Bucky asked, massaging the area at the base of his alpha's cock.

"Close," Steve confirmed, "Real close."

"Good," Bucky nodded. Leaning up to capture Steve's lips with his own, Bucky suggested, "Think I can ride ya?"

"Is that even a question?" Steve chuckled, pulling out so he could lay on his back. Stroking himself with one hand and massaging his loose knot skin while he watched Bucky throw one leg over his hips to straddle him.

With newfound desire, Bucky didn't waste a second as he slid down the impressive length until fully seated. Steve's back arched and his hands returned to Bucky's thighs. Scent marking the brunet while Bucky lifted himself before harshly dropping down once again; thoroughly fucking himself on his mate's cock.

Soon enough, both men were speeding up, on a race to who would reach their orgasm first. Determined, Steve wrapped his hand around Bucky's erection to give him added pleasure as they both teetered on the precipice. And although Bucky hated coming before Steve did, he couldn't help it when Steve swiped his thumb over Bucky's cockhead, gathering the drops of pre-come.

"Fuck," Bucky gasped, tossing his head back as his dick spurted his clear omega ejaculation onto the petite alpha below him.

As he clenched down on Steve's buried cock, it didn't take long for Steve's own movements to pause as he released his own climax deep into Bucky. While Steve tried to catch his breath, Bucky leaned down to kiss along his jaw. Only colliding with his mouth once Steve's panting eased.

"Thank you," Bucky mused, pushing Steve's blond hair from his sweaty forehead.

"For what?" Steve's brows furrowed, tipping his head up so he could kiss his mate again.

"For the party," Bucky kissed the side of Steve's mouth. Trailing kisses over his jaw, Bucky continued, "And tonight."

Affectionately, Steve cupped the side of Bucky's face, maneuvering him so they could be looking at each other. Steve reminded, "You don't have to thank me. I'd spoil you every day, if you'd let me."

Instead of listing all the reasons why Bucky was appreciative of Steve's kindness and love, he simply rested his forehead against Steve's and told him, "I love you."

An easy grin crossed his face as Steve confirmed, "I love you, too."

For a moment, the pair just laid there. Despite Steve not knotting, the pair still took the time to remain connected. Just for that added step of intimacy. Not that either of them complained. Rather, the pair spent the allotted time with sweet kisses and tender touches.

"DADDY! PAPA!" A shrill scream from Maisie shattered their moment.

Heart pounding, Bucky quickly climbed off Steve and stumbled off the bed as he attempted to quickly dress. As Steve pulled on a pair of flannel sleep pants and one of Bucky's t-shirts, he assured, "I'll check on her."

Although Bucky was worrying his lower lip with his teeth, he simply agreed. Unfortunately, it wasn't unusual for their pups to have night terrors. What soothed Bucky's guilt, however, was how readily available Steve's help was. Confirming that Steve was the alpha father his pups always deserved.

Cleaning himself up, Bucky paused when he heard Hugh's cries from the room beside theirs. Tossing the towel in the hamper, Bucky left the bedroom for the nursery. Turning the light on, he wasted no time in crossing the small room to the crib.

"Shh," Bucky soothed, reaching into the crib to momentarily scent-mark the crying baby. A little more difficult with only one hand, Bucky gathered Hugh close to his frame before situating him on the changing table. Gathering a fresh diaper and opening the container of wipes, Bucky worked on autopilot as he exchanged the wet diaper for the clean one.

Hugh started calming down then, and Bucky playfully confirmed, "Daddy doesn't like being in soiled drawers either."

Pitching the diaper, Bucky lifted Hugh once more and nosed at his soft baby hair when Hugh nuzzled closer to his chest. These were the moments that Bucky lived for. Even back when he was pregnant with Maisie, he couldn't wait to have this the same way his brother and cousins and friends all had with their babies. Even after Brock showed who he really was, these were the moments that Bucky clung to.

Yawning, Bucky decided to place the now snoozing pup back in his crib. Scent-marking him once more before leaning in and pressing a sweet kiss to Hugh's forehead and whispering, "Night, night, Hughie."

Returning to the master suite, he was greeted with Steve feigning nonchalance as he sat against the headboard, sketching. Beside him, on Bucky's side of the bed sat a sparkly purple gift bag. A grin split his face as he quickly crossed the room to their bed.

"I thought the sex was the gift," Bucky cheerfully admitted as he climbed onto the bed.

"Seriously?" Steve chuckled at the audacity, but seemingly remembering the relationship that Bucky had been in prior decided against voicing any more. Setting his sketchbook on the bedside table, Steve turned to gleefully watch Bucky.

Pulling out the lilac tissue paper, Bucky teasingly narrowed his eyes at his mate because apparently Steve knew exactly how to annoy him by making Bucky feel like a magician pulling the trick hanky that never ends. Finally, once the tissue paper was tossed carelessly onto the bed between them, Bucky found three comic books in the bag.

Excitedly, Bucky snapped his attention to his mate, making Steve chuckle, "Well, open it!"

"Don't have to tell me twice," Bucky giggled, removing the comic books from the bag. Seeing the cover of the first one caused Bucky's breath to hitch and his jaw to drop. His hand shaking as it held a signed copy of Striped Crusader: Rise of Redwing. Only, it didn't look like the edition that Bucky distinctly remembered drooling over in the glass case at the comic book store he grew up near.

Looking over the little notes and the unfamiliar colors, Bucky's eyes widened as he glanced over at Steve again, "Is this a draft?!"

"A copy of the draft," Steve confirmed.

Throat tightening and tears building in his eyes, Bucky shook his head as he whispered, "This is too much."

Steve shook his head and affectionately maneuvered Bucky's head until he was looking at him again, "You are the most selfless man that I've ever met. Meeting you at that bus station was the best thing to ever happen to me. You deserve so much more than I can ever give you, and I want you to have everything that I can give you."

Blinking away tears, Bucky kissed Steve and thanked him. Steve simply smiled at his mate and gestured for him to look through the others. The next one was the upcoming issue that Steve had sent off a couple weeks ago for approval. But the last one was what made Bucky's heart swell.

On the cover was an image of a dimly lit bus with a petite blond sitting across the aisle from a handsome, pregnant brunet omega. Although the comic version of Bucky's eyes were closed as he dozed with a sleeping pup on his chest and the other sleeping against his side, the comic Steve gazed affectionately, protectively at them. The title proclaimed, Till the End of the Line.

Being Steve Rogers Daughter would Include...

so uh my laptop is broken,, hopefully i can fix it tomorrow so i can’t upload any fics rn but until then heres this, idk where it came from honestly i’m tired and stressed

- SO

- steve was so fucking confused on how to raise a kid

- “does she have an off button?”

- “this dang diaper isn’t staying on!”

- “is she breathing? i don’t think shes breathing?” he say, a worried look on his face as you slept soundly in your crib

- nat and bucky would have to drag him out of the room so you could sleep in peace

- when you took your first steps he was over the moon!

- he told EVERYONE he even called fury to tell him

- fury hung up on him

- your first word was ‘shield’

- he cried

- and when you said ‘da’ he cried

- when you’re a teenager, he is so overprotective it’s sickening

- “where are you going?”

- “who’s going to be there?”

- “i should have FRIDAY run a background check”

- “dad you can’t even figure out how to tell her to turn the microwave on, much less run a damn background check.”

- “don’t sass me young lady, do you know who i am?”

- “yes star spangled man with a plan, i do now can i just leave please!”

- you lived w/ him at the tower

- tony basically spoiling you

- “dont tell your dad”

- nat would train you

- “dont tell your dad”

- bucky would tell you stories about pre-serum steve

- “dont tell your dad”

- so basically,, steve cant know anything

- you, wanda, and nat would have girls nights

- you’d gossip

- do each others hair and watch movies

- while also raiding tonys pantry

- you meet peter and instantly click

- then you meet the rest of his friends

- they sleep over one night and you guys play truth or dare

- “i dare (y/n) to eat cereal from her dads shield.”

- everyone laughs and you shrug

- “okay”

- so you walk down and begin the process of making your cereal

- (CEREAL BEFORE MILK U COWARDS)

- you’re about to take the first bite when ur dad walks in

- “hey babydoll, have you seen my- oh... what are you doing stop!”

- “bold of you to assume i’ve never done this before old man.”

- steve just sighs and walks out

- he made you clean it the next day

- anytime a boy is going to be where you’re going he’s ready to suit up and kick ass

- “dad it’s literally just peter!”

- “yes but he could try to kiss you, and we certainly don’t want that. you know-”

- “FOR FUCKS SAKE WHAT WOULD BE SO BAD ABOUT THAT”

- peter is literally right behind you

- “language!”

- “steve shut up and let her have fun. go on kiddo.”

- “cool! thanks uncle bucky!”

- bucky was your partner in crime

- always picking on your dad together

- and whenever anyone said anything bad abt bucky you’d flip

- “stfu you ugly rat he’s a god among men and i’ll punch you”

- trying to show your dad more main stream music

- “what is this? they’re just screaming (y/n) how can you like this?”

- “it’s not screaming, its all time low. how dare you disrespect them like that”

- cooking with him

- you guys bake CONSTANTLY

- he’s bad at it sorta but you help

- “dad no you don’t leave the shell in, i get youre a super solider and it won’t affect you but i’d rather not die”

- “you can’t die from an eggshell sweetheart.”

- “ohmygod”

- you’d end up smearing flour all over his apron

- he’d just scowl before dumping flour on your head

- the kitchen would be covered in flour within the hour

- “dad! stop!” you would yell as he attempted to smear brownie mix on your cheek

- when their done being made and cooled, you curl up on the couch and watch a movie, snacking on the baked goods

- it’d probably be one of the ones tony said he had to catch up on

- like back to the future, phsyco, the breakfast club, and the outsiders

- also game of thrones, bucky would join for that

Who said alphas had to go with omegas? If you like alpha/alpha, alpha/beta, and beta/omega stories, below are my Top 5 Favorites:

*Alpha Bucky and Alpha Steve have their own lists

“Just Make Do” (E, 6k) by orphan_account

In which Steve goes into heat, Bucky feels inadequate and makes hot cocoa, and Steve just wishes that he would get it together and just bond with him, goddammit Bucky.

+ Pre-WW2, Beta/Omega. If you don’t have a knot, store-bought fisting is fine (Warning: There is Peggy in Part 2)

-☆-

“knot without you” (E, 8k) by Deisderium

"I have to," Steve said stubbornly, even though Peggy hadn't tried to discourage him, not yet.

"You heard Phillips," she said, her voice uncharacteristically gentle. "He's probably dead."

"There are a lot of men and women of the 107th who might not be," he said, and then, because she knew him too well: "He's my alpha."

"He was." She wasn't trying to be cruel, he knew that; but he slapped a hand to his neck, where the mating bite used to be, and glared at her.

"It's all right, Steve. I know a man with a plane."

*

In which Steve goes to get his man from the Hydra factory, and Bucky discovers that Steve's a little different from the last time he saw him.

+ Azzano Rescue, Alpha/Alpha. The serum turned Steve into an Alpha, but Bucky still loves him

-☆-

“I want your hot love (and emotion)” (E, 18k) by Squeaky

In a world where Alphas are dominant and Omegas are coveted, Betas are truly the third sex. Expected to be willowy and delicate, they're also considered artistic and flighty, everything that Steve Rogers is not. He's too big and too ungainly, and enjoys his work as an ED nurse far too much to be a socially-acceptable Beta. He's dated Omegas all his life, but what he secretly wants is to be bonded to an Alpha, even though he's sure Alphas would never be attracted to a Beta like him.

Annoyed at his self-perception, his best friend and Alpha Peggy Carter, takes him to an Alpha bar in an attempt to prove him wrong. When one of the patrons goes into an accidental rut, Steve is the only one who can step up to help.

Bucky is definitely an Alpha, definitely in rut, and definitely the most gorgeous man that Steve has ever seen. Steve knows that taking him home to keep him safe might be risky, but he doesn't expect to go into a sympathetic heat from the Alpha's pheromones. Nor can he possibly expect the bond mark that he wakes up with in the morning...

+ Modern AU, Alpha/Beta. On the importance of exchanging phone numbers

-☆-

“Too Much, Not Enough” (E, 5k) by amare

It would probably leave Steve sore and demoralized if he knew how much Bucky values what he can do for him. This is more of the same. He has to, and he wants to. The two are indistinguishable. (Alpha!Steve goes into his first rut.)

+ Post Azzano, Alpha/Beta. Steve goes into rut for the first time and Bucky knows just how to help. Unexpected emotions arise!

-☆-

“Fight or Fuck” (E, 2k) by kaasknot

They're a neighborhood institution: the two alpha boys who manage not to kill each other twice a year. Bucky's always been proud of that, proud that they're above their hormones, but now he isn't so sure. Steve is spoiling for a fuck, but in the absence of an omega or beta, a fight will have to do. Bucky keeps his body language open and non-threatening, and raises his chin to bare his throat. He fights himself all the way.

+ Pre-WW2, Alpha/Alpha. When Steve goes into rut this time, Bucky can’t stop thinking about joining him

-☆-

-☆- Bonus freebie! -☆-

“A Most Unsuitable Omega” (E, 70k) by Whendoestheshipsail 

“I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that being on the bottom shelf at the back of the classified room isn’t a great sign,” Phil says.

“Well, it’s alphabetical,” Sam says, shrugging. “So, it’s not necessarily proof that he walked in and chose the most unsuitable omega of all — oh. Oh yeah, you’ve chosen the most unsuitable omega possible. This is W. The Winter Soldier Program.”

+ Shrunkyclunks. Before the serum made Steve an alpha, he wished he was an omega. Now in the future with Bucky, all his dreams are finally coming true. Reposted from the author’s spotlight list because it’s so much fun!

*More non-traditional stories in the Hair washing list

[shieldedbythunder]

I see your Pym particles shenanigans to get two Thors and raise you Alpha Thor with pre and post serum!omega!Steve on his hands. Pre-serum Steve, all spunk and spitfire, post-serum Steve, a bit disillusioned but still determined to do good in the world. Thor, who's absolutely blown away by how gorgeous his mate is whatever his form. Imagine pre-serum Steve coming apart beneath the love and worship of a huge alpha who doesn't treat him like glass and knowing that this man will one day be his mate

Also consider, pre-serum Steve being a virgin and Thor having had the fantasy for a long time that he could’ve taken Steve’s virginity and finally getting the chance. Pre-serum Steve being spoiled after that because none of the alphas in his day come close to being as good as Thor and he just decides to wait until he meets Thor again.

Oooooh, I love this!!

Being from Earth and having no experience with space technology/magic, past!Steve is understandably a bit more freaked out by the whole situation than past!Thor was. The fact that both he and present!Steve are going into heat doesn’t help matters, past!Steve’s stress quick to influence present!Steve and accelerate his cycle. Eventually, though, Thor and Steve are able to get their unexpected guest to calm down long enough to sit him down and explain things properly.

Once it’s all out, past!Steve is equal parts disbelieving and awe-struck. On the one hand, he can’t get over the sight of his future self; tall, broad-shouldered, fit as a fiddle, looking like the kind of alpha everyone dreams of. Present!Steve is careful not to reveal too much, but he can’t help smiling at the way past!Steve’s jaw drops when he reveals that he’s still very much all omega, just as past!Steve will be when his change comes.

And then there’s Thor; again, the picture of a pure, red-blooded alpha, the kind most omegas would give their right arm to find, let alone be mated to. And if the way Thor and his future self are sitting so close together, exchanging soft, casual touches and looks, is any indication, this man is his mate, or going to be. For past!Steve, well-used to being passed over and dismissed as the sickly second choice, it’s a heady concept to wrap his head around.

For present!Steve, seeing his past self is a bittersweet experience, a reminder of a time when he didn’t have all the world on his shoulders. But all the same, he sees the strength in past!Steve’s eyes, a reminder that the best part of himself was there long before the serum, and knows that he’ll be strong enough to bear the hardships to come. Thor is utterly humbled when he speaks with his beloved’s past self, as it only strengthens his certainty that Steve has always been worthy, and in how lucky he is to call this man his mate in any form.

Eventually, though, the issue of past!Steve’s rising heat has to be addressed. He’s a little more trusting now, but still unsure when present!Steve and Thor offer to help him through it - it would be his first time with somebody else. Thor’s pulse picks up at that - he finds this new Steve just as lovely as the one he’s always known, and the thought of being his first is all too enticing. He doesn’t want to force past!Steve into anything under the influence of his heat, though, or do anything that would make present!Steve uncomfortable. But in the end, present!Steve manages to calm past!Steve’s nerves and assure him that they’ll take care of him if that’s what he really wants. Which he clearly does, if the spike in pheromones he’s putting out is any indication.

They make sure to get past!Steve comfortable first; once they’ve stripped down, present!Steve, who isn’t as far along in his own heat, lies down alongside his smaller self with an arm around his shoulders, and whispers reassurances as Thor prepares him. He can’t help laughing when past!Steve’s eyes widen at the size of Thor’s considerable cock, but they both readily believe the smaller omega’s insistence that he can take it; at the end of the day, it is still Steve, determined and strong as ever.

Eventually, Thor deems past!Steve ready, and slowly pushes into him. It’s a tight squeeze even with all their prep, but nothing short of heavenly for both of them. Once he’s sure the omega’s adjusted to his size, Thor slowly starts to fuck in earnest. And while he’s sure to be gentle enough, he has no problems whatsoever giving into past!Steve’s cries for more, alpha, harder, please. Thor’s left breathless by the vision of Steve, lithe and beautiful as he writhes in Thor’s arms and gazes up at him in wonder as he takes this alpha’s cock deeper than he ever thought possible. And all the while, present!Steve keeps past!Steve calm, pressing kisses into his hair and joining Thor in telling him how perfect he is, how well he’s doing.

When past!Steve finally takes Thor’s knot, he’s half out of his mind with utter bliss, and whines at how empty he feels when it finally goes down and Thor pulls out of him. By this stage, present!Steve’s heat is in full force with all the hormones in the air, and Thor is all too glad to attend to his beloved as Steve presents to him.  Past!Steve watches them at first, feeling a twinge of loneliness at the sight of their loving touches, reminding him of how alone he is in his own time. But he gets a shock that quickly turns to excitement when present!Steve suddenly pulls him over on top of him, leaving them face to face as Thor fucks present!Steve. 

It’s all a haze after that, but what sticks out most for past!Steve is feeling so loved. Cocooned between Thor and present!Steve as they make love to each other and worship him, exchanging eager kisses with his future self and exploring this godlike body that will supposedly one day be his, while his future mate whispers filth and endearments to them both, the thought that this kind of love and trust awaits him has his heart so full.

Once the heat passes and they’ve all gotten their bearings back, Steve and Thor make sure that past!Steve gets back to his own time. They bid him goodbye fondly, the experience having done a lot to lift Steve’s belief in himself again and reaffirm his and Thor’s relationship. And while he’s sorry to leave them, past!Steve knows that there’s a better life coming in his own timeline, friendships and loves that will make any heartbreak worth it, so he resolves to keep trying to be the kind of man worthy of it.

This was so fun to write, thank you!

Steve/Bucky for the ship ask thing please

my babies!!!

who’s the werewolf and who’s the hunter

bucky is def the werewolf, but for years he’s been a ghost story. like, mothers tell their children about the vicious werewolf in the woods to keep them from playing in the forest. and steve is a witcher-type character, yet he’s more righteous and kind. and he’s hired to slay the werewolf, but all that’s waiting for him is this gentle man with long hair and a scruffy beard who invites him inside for tea.

who’s the mermaid and who’s the fisherman

mermaid!steve babeyyyyy. bucky will go out to fish (and mope) and end up by a cluster of rocks. (it’s actually steve’s grotto) he’ll spot steve sunning on one of the rocks, totally in awe at the sight of his glistening blue tail.

(but for real, can someone write that?)

who’s the witch and who’s the familiar

oof idrk for this one 😅

who’s the barista and who’s the coffee addict

STEVE LOVES COFFEE, OKAY. he always gets it before work (rich ceo, anyone?) and bucky’s the flustered, broke college student barista.

who’s the professor and who’s the TA

ooooo i vibe with pre-serum steve as art history professor james’ ta 👀. steve being oh so eager to please in and out of office hours.

who’s the knight and who’s the prince(ss)

spoiled!prince bucky please, whose parents have big beefy knight steve follow him around and make sure he’s staying out of trouble.

who’s the teacher and who’s the single parent

steve would be recently divorced from tony and have morgan during the week. since he moved, morgan would have to start in a new school district. and buck would be the young, bright eyed kindergarten teacher.

who’s the writer and who’s the editor

i think bucky would write children’s books and steve would illustrate them instead

send me a ship + i’ll tell you who’s who

[mylevisdontfitanymore]

What are your thoughts on pre serum Steve getting the good meds he needs and putting on some weight? Like, Bucky gets a well paying job and Steve’s art is going well and so he can get what he needs now, and they can eat decent food too.

So Steve eats, and eats and eats! His allergies and intolerances are manageable now, his body can digest most things for the first time, and he’s revelling in it… and gets pretty tubby as a result.

Round cheeks, slight second chin, perky tits and soft belly, thick thighs and arms and pudgy hands? Bucky’s obsessed with how soft his hands are, how round they look, how round he looks. He looks delicious, he looks well cared for and loved, he looks like plump, spoiled little prince and Bucky’s obsessed. (Also what if Steve does become a slight brat? Sugar Daddy Bucky maybe?)

Okay, so I read this the first time and was given slight, almost, your-eating-habits-finally-catch-up-to-you vibes. Almost ex-jock, like, your metabolism slows down and you finally put on weight and you probably put that weight on pretty fast 🥴🥴 and as enticing as that is:

Imagining that perhaps pre-serum Steve was eating a fuck ton to try and combat his chronic pain, subconsciously even, filling the pain and discomfort with sugar especially, but also whatever food he could get his hands on. Which only changes once his underlying conditions are treated, the meds he’s on slowing his hummingbird metabolism while his eating habits don’t really change on account of how overjoyed he is to be pain-free; food being used as a comfort and a celebration and gaining a truly impressive amount of weight as a result.

But...

That’s not this ask. And I really, really do like this idea!

I love this idea. 

I love the thought put into the fact that Steve probably/definitely had issues getting down and keeping down food. So, when his conditions are treated, he can put down food, keep food down, and enjoy the flavor and filling nature of food. Basically, re-discovering food and becomes unable to keep himself from overindulging. 

Can you imagine? 

Unbeta'd as usual. Warning for: belly kink, weight gain, stuffing, hand kink, slight humiliation, etc.

Bucky would love to lovingly tease Steve about it… how fast he’s growing. He would love to grab and pinch him...

Grabbing his face and squishing his lovely, newly round cheeks until Steve can’t help but squirm and turn bright red, lowering his head in an effort to get his blond bangs to cover his face, hiding from the embarrassment. But all it succeeds in doing, really, is making his double chin more obvious. Which is much, much better for Bucky 😳

Grabbing his perky tits all. the. time. Bucky would weekly, at least, grab his tits in his hands to measure how big they’re getting. How much of a handful are Steve’s tits this time? How sensitive are his nipples now that they’re bigger and softer? Growing along with the rest of him. How much effort does it take Bucky to find his collarbones under his new layer of fat? 

Pinching and grabbing his soft new belly… fuck... that might make Bucky cream his pants- the feeling of all those calories piling up around his waist. That concave stomach is long gone and replaced with a bowing out pot belly. And I mean a POT BELLY. His belly is disproportionate almost. Large enough that it shakes and jiggles and is visible from behind when Bucky (very occasionally) fucks him (Steve usually gets his fix of being stuffed through food, not dick). Or fucks those chubby thighs now that they not only meet in the middle - rather than there being a gap between his thighs - but also rub and get in the way of each other. Leaving Steve with a friction rash whenever it gets hot out and he’s been walking around in only his boxers as he paints, working from home.

Pinching his arms too, Bucky can’t help himself, he’ll come up to Steve when he’s drawing, shirtless more often than not with how fast he’s outgrown all his clothes (and continues to outgrow his new clothes, Jesus wept), and grab one of those bingo wings. Just because they were moving around, jiggling a little, as he reached for another pencil or another mid-work snack. It always makes Steve squawk. Bucky can’t stop himself though. His Steve. So fat that even his arms are fat!

Grabbing his hands too… yessss.

There’s this FANTASTIC fic on Archive “Show your teeth, Now play dead” by TyrantTirade (x) that is peak hand kink to me. Basically, it’s Bucky being a little submissive and a little bit of an attention seeker, wanting Steve’s whole hand in his mouth- because pre-serum Steve’s hand is small enough to fit in his mouth. It comes across as a little humiliating and in the spirit of fisting… just at the other end. Anyway, I love that fic. And that’s where my mind went with the hand thing...

Bucky sucking on Steve’s fingers or begging for Steve to try and fit his hand, now chubby with this weight gain, into his mouth? *shivers* 

I- 

I am obsessed with this thought. Also, it leads nicely into the bratty Steve angle. 

Like-

Bucky is on his knees, next to Steve’s spread legs, Steve’s belly is the only thing hanging between his thick thighs, not Bucky. Bucky wants to be there instead. But he's not, he's off the side of Steve's right leg. Watching. Waiting.

Bucky also so badly wants Steve to push his fingers into his mouth, not just to be between his legs, wanting his chubby little prince’s attention. Practically drooling for the attention. Today he feels a little neglected, craving to be paid as much attention as Steve pays to his food. Food that he’s eating. More. He’s eating even more than he usually does. Claiming to be extra hungry today...

Steve is Teasing Bucky intentionally (unbeknownst to Bucky) by stuffing himself from the time he woke up this morning to right now, there’s been something in his mouth every minute of the day it feels like, his stomach aches. He can feel new stretchmarks incoming. He can feel Bucky’s eyes on him like fire. As full of food as Steve is… Bucky is also that full of sexual frustration.

Steve has only spoken to Bucky today when he wants more food, but he doesn’t want to get up from where the weight of his fat, stretch-marked body is sinking into the couch. And Bucky is coming off of a week of long work hours, but now, during the weekend, he has just one thing on his mind.

He needs.

Bucky starts whining at some point. 

And to tease more, Steve looks down at him, feeling his double chin become exaggerated, oh god, asking, “what’s wrong down there?” 

Bucky sucks in a breath. There are crumbs on Steve’s face- crumbs from cookies? Some kind of bread? Crumbs are on his double-chin too. And on his fingers… there are smears of food. Some crumbs, but he’s been eating something with jam too. It’s smeared on his fingers, melting and sticky as he stuffed whatever had jam on it, in it, in his mouth. 

“Oh,” Steve plays dumb, barely hiding a smirk, “are you hungry, Buck?” 

Bucky is paralyzed in arousal. 

Steve takes his nonanswer as an actual answer. And. He shoves his fingers in Bucky’s gaped mouth, ordering him, “lick ‘em clean. Then maybe I’ll share some real food… depends on if we’ve got more food or not though, I am still a little hungry, and if we don’t…” he clicks his tongue, “maybe not. Maybe I won’t share. I’ve got more belly to fill than you, so I need more, don’t you think?” 

Bucky’s head is spinning, his mouth full of three, no, four fingers. Licking them clean, just like Steve ordered him to. But he can’t resist taking those fingers as deep into his mouth as he can too, sucking on them like he would Steve’s cock… his cock… his cock has got to be hard under the heft of his ever-growing belly but- his belly is in the way. Bucky can’t see if he’s hard.

It sends a greater rush through him for some reason.

He can’t tell if Steve is enjoying this or not! He... he could really only be thinking with his gut. He could only be focused on stuffing himself as full as he can be, until he can’t breathe and his belly is flushed red, packed tight enough to stress his skin. He might be more obsessed with food than with orgasming, Bucky might’ve trained him too well to be addicted to food and now he’ll have to walk around, always hard and ready to beg at the drop of a hat because his Steve looks so good! Fat and round! So good! But... so uninterested in anything that isn't food.

Lord.

That thought shouldn’t turn him on but… it does. It really does.

Bucky sucks harder at his fingers, nodding. Steve does need more. Steve needs more until he’s too fat to think about anything but being fat. Until he’s too fat to fuck. Too fat to fuck Bucky specifically (and again- why is that hot? God, he’s so fucking weird! But… nothing matters when it inspires so much arousal in him and he can’t focus on anything but getting more of it. More of the intoxicating feeling of being at his fat Prince's mercy).

Frostshield Bodyswap AU

Basically Pre-Thor Loki and Pre-Serum Steve keep waking up in each other’s bodies on alternating days, Kimi no Na Wa style.

For Loki, he first realises something’s wrong when he gets in trouble because apparently he punched some dickish nobleman in the face yesterday?? Which he didn’t??? (Also, throughout the day the palace servants smile and wave at him whenever they see him, for some strange reason)

For Steve, it’s a bit more subtle; a few things mentioned here and there which he doesn’t remember happening, Colonel Phillips shouting at him for slacking off (”You had better form yesterday, boy!”)

It doesn’t take long for them to realise they’re somehow bodyswapping, and while they don’t know why they still need to find a way to somehow live with it without ruining each other’s lives, so they set up some ground rules by writing in shared notebooks, and keeping journal entries to keep each other updated.

Loki is a pompous prick who looks down on Midgardians and believes that they are weak, powerless and generally inferior and not worth his time. This really shows in his written instructions to Steve, which seriously pisses off the latter. But Steve just grits his teeth and decides that just because Loki’s a dick doesn’t mean he shouldn’t still be nice to the spoiled prince.

So Steve picks and chooses which rules to follow. The ridiculous hair and skin care regimens? Nope. Stop picking fights? Well it’s not as if he tries to, but do you honestly expect him to turn a blind eye to injustice? But learning magic so he wouldn’t tarnish Loki’s reputation as a powerful magic-user? Well ignoring the second half, that’s actually something he’s excited about.

Meanwhile, Steve futilely asks Loki to stop pranking the other cadets (Loki’s favourite target is Hodge), because antagonising them is pointless and the bullying he already gets from them worsens. 

During this period of time they mellow out to each other and come to enjoy their shared banter. The bodyswapping is still as weird as ever but the two of them have kind of mutually decided not to tell anyone about it- for Loki he wants to unravel the mystery himself, and for Steve, well, who’s going to believe him anyway?

Steve also accidentally befriends Sif while in Loki’s body, so when Loki comes back he is left feeling weirded out when Sif acts genuinely friendly towards him. But he finds that he’s somehow able to maintain the friendship on his end even when it’s not Steve so he kind of reluctantly rolls with it

Loki messes around with Steve’s love life for shits and giggles- he is more than aware of Steve’s crush on Peggy so he teases him about it in the entries, then flirts with Peggy on Steve’s behalf. Steve just wants to die every time he gets his body back.

Steve undergoes Project Rebirth, and the next day Loki manages to talk his way out of being forced into becoming a dancing monkey, securing himself a position as a supersoldier spy (”You’re welcome,” he later writes to Steve, and Steve feels the warmth of gratitude expand in his chest)

Instead of Captain America, WW2 gets a legend whose existence is rumoured and feared: The Supersoldier. The Supersoldier has two fighting styles: he either bulldozes his way out against the odds through sheer stubbornness or he blindsides the enemy using unorthodox methods

Steve is constantly impressed by some of Loki’s deceitful strategies and earnestly tells him as such in the entries. Loki is like “wtf really” because he usually gets looked down upon by others for his methods

Back on Asgard, Steve helps improve Loki’s relationships with the people around him. In addition to befriending Sif, he also manages to get on friendly terms with the Warriors 3. It gets to the point where they’re no longer just Thor’s friends, but also Loki’s as well. Steve is also really nice to the palace servants, who in turn become really fond of ‘Loki’. Loki has no idea what to do with the positive attention.

At some point Loki catches feelings for Steve, and it gets to a point where he teasing Steve about Peggy is no longer fun but makes him kind of… sad? Bitter? Loki doesn’t want to say anything about his feelings though, so he just goes with “subtly” flirting through the entries

But Loki’s feelings are made complicated by Bucky’s return to Steve’s life.

At the pub, Bucky points out to Steve that he’s happier and lighter and thinking about someone, congratulating him on getting together with Peggy. Steve is like “??? What no I’m not with Peggy”. Bucky’s like “oh man just tell her already you’ve obviously got it bad”. Steve is confused because he was actually thinking about Loki’s most recent entry (which is totally unrelated btw)

Steve has a private chat with Peggy and she tells him that she really does care about him and think he’s an amazing person. She also brings up that sometimes it’s as if he’s two completely different people. Then she gently turns him down because it’s obvious that he’s already in love with someone else, someone who isn’t her (she thinks it’s Bucky). Steve is dejected but not as upset as he expected to be. He thinks about what Bucky said, how at the time he thought Bucky was wrong because he was thinking about Loki, how Peggy said he’s in love with someone else, and… oh. Steve you useless bisexual

The bodyswapping stops when Steve crashes into the ice but ALL IS WELL they reunite in the 21st century and are alive and happy together and that’s what matters

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (2011)

AKA: The 90-year-old virgin.

(Spoilers for this movie ((and a tiny bit for Winter Soldier)) -- pretty sure that absolutely no one is reading these, but we’re still gonna make ‘em cause it’s fun!)

Again, it’s been a loong time since I watched this one, and there’s a lot of things I forgot. I’m hoping that the rewatch will make me care more about Bucky in later movies, because honestly, there was such a gap between me watching this movie and me seeing Winter Soldier for the first time, that I barely remembered who Bucky was. But it’s refreshing seeing him young and attractive, and not looking like an emo trash can.

Like Thor with its mythology, I like that this movie has a really different aesthetic to it than anything else in the MCU--it’s a period piece. I love all the costumes and music and the general vintage atmosphere. Normally, I really don’t like war movies, but this one is an obvious exception.

Right off the bat though, I don’t think it needed both mysterious opening scenes. First, we see Steve’s shield/plane being recovered from the ice, then it cuts to Schmidt getting ahold of the Tesseract in Norway. We both agreed that the first scene just wasn’t necessary. For one thing, it spoils the ending of the movie a little bit, since we now know that Steve is probably trapped in the ice somehow, and for another, we know that he’ll probably be okay. It kind of undercuts the emotional intensity of his goodbye to Peggy. So I think leading with Schmidt would’ve been a better call.

That being said, it’s nice to finally see a hero that starts off with a more heroic personality. While I enjoy Tony and Thor’s journeys of character development, Steve is actually a genuinely great guy right at the beginning--all he lacks is the confidence and strength to be a real hero (although he is already pretty gutsy, getting into alley fights with guys twice his size). One of my favorite scenes is, of course, the grenade test, when he unthinkingly attempts to sacrifice himself for everyone else in the camp. It’s just a really great display of character.

I love the Steve/Peggy romance mostly for the fact that she clearly likes him before he gets hot. It would be easy to fall in love with post-serum Steve, but Peggy really appreciates the guy underneath. Their romance grows naturally out of friendship, in a way that not many other Marvel romances do.

A valid critique that my brother had is that the villain is just… entirely unsympathetic. He’s a literal Nazi with no real motivations other than the cliche desire for power. It’s not very complex. There’s nothing really wrong with having a straight-up evil villain to root against, but I think a bit more moral ambiguity makes for a better story. No one’s 100% evil, just like no one’s 100% good. I like my heroes flawed and my villains complicated and possibly redeemable.

Which is why (and I hate to say this), Steve Rogers isn’t always the most interesting hero. I love him, don’t get me wrong! He’s great but, especially in this first movie, he’s just such a boy scout and can almost do no wrong. His moments of rebellion for the greater good are awesome, but the rest of the time he’s a little stagnant. I think this improves in later movies when he gets a bit more bitter and sarcastic.

Maybe their characterizations stem from the fact that this is set in the 40’s, when fictional heroes and villains were a bit more black and white. Maybe Marvel wanted to reflect that a little with a really good hero and a really evil villain, I dunno.

Anyway, Stanley Tucci is, as always, an underappreciated treasure as the kind Dr. Erksine, and Tommy Lee Jones is gruff and commanding as ever. This movie’s got some really good supporting characters.

Altogether, a thoroughly enjoyable watch--Cap, it’s been too long.

RANKINGS:

(Quick note--we realize that for the past four movies, we’ve been a bit generous with the ratings. We’ve kind of just been looking at them as movies and not Marvel movies. Marvel’s standards are better than most, so we’re gonna start being a bit harsher. Just a warning!)

     Hero: 7.5 shields out of 10. Even if he’s close to perfect, it’s just so easy to root for Steve Rogers, especially as the tiny pre-serum bean that he is at the beginning. He doesn’t really go through much character development, but it’s because he starts off great so there’s really no place to go with that.

     Villain: 5 Hydra heads out of 10. Again, Nazi. Really, Schmidt is just kind of there, and he’s evil. And he yells at his subordinates. Props to Marvel for making a villain that’s really easy to root against, but he’s not super interesting.

     Supporting characters: 7 army generals out of 10. This includes Dr. Erksine, Col. Phillips, Peggy, Bucky, and Dr. Zola. For a bunch of characters that we don’t really see again (or at least, if we do, they’re evil computers, brainwashed soldiers, or just really really old), Marvel did a good job at fleshing them out nicely.            Female characters: 4 Bechdels out of 10, and all four of those points are for Peggy. She’s a really great character, but she’s the only female character of significance, aside from Natalie Dormer, who basically sexually assaulted Steve and then disappeared. Goes without saying that this one didn’t pass the Bechdel test.

     Action scenes: 6 punches out of 10. It’s always nice to see Nazis being beaten up/vaporized, but the action scenes aren’t really the focus of this one.

      Stan Lee: 3 cameos out of 5. “I thought he’d be taller.” Good funny moment, fits in well with the plot. It feels a little more obvious than others, maybe cause he usually doesn’t talk, but solid cameo nonetheless.

     Charisma: 7 points out of 10. The movie has a very consistent aesthetic and tone. Themes of what it means to be a hero run throughout, but never overpower the story.

In total: 39.5 out of 65, about 60%. It feels a little too harsh, but most points are being deducted from its lack of female characters and boring villain. Rotten Tomatoes score was 79%.
