Can we get a Frank x southern reader drabble? Maybe she’s late twenties to early thirties, so it’s a bit of an age gap but she’s so sweet and her manners, accent and expressions are such a soft contrast to his rough New York demeanor?
Oh gosh I love this! I'm not from the south, but I hope I do this justice!
Frank Castle X Southern Reader
Firstly, like you said - the adorable accent. It's one of the first things about you that Frank falls in love with and every little "darlin" and "babycakes" you call him with your cute little drawl just makes him meltttttt. He's putty for your accent and you can get away with a lot just by asking him sweetly.
Frank and southern hospitality don't really go well together. He's a very guarded person, especially with you because he cares about you so much and can't lose yet another person he loves. So when new neighbors move into the apartment across the hall (which happens often if you're living with him in new york because people are always moving in NYC) and you decide to be a good southern neighbor and bake them something to take over to welcome them to the building, alarm bells start going off for him. "They could be serial killers for all you know sweetheart." "Francis, don't be ridiculous, I'm just taking them some brownies they ain't gonna kill me over that." He insists on coming with you and stands behind you mean mugging while you knock on the door an introduce yourselves. Don't worry, once he sees they're just some random couple that just relocated from Wisconsin, he relaxes just a little. The process of course starts all over when you invite them over for dinner next week while still knowing very little about them.
Speaking of baked goods, oh lord does that man love your southern cooking. We know Frank can cook, but actually putting in the effort to do it for himself? Nah, he's living on beef jerky and canned tuna. So when you start dating and regularly dote on him and express your love through fried chicken, and biscuits and gravy, he loves it. Until one day when he can't get his jeans to button cause you're spoiling him a little too much.
In regards to southern manners, I've found New Yorkers and Southerns actually feel very opposite about manners. Southerners revel in small talk and think you're being rude if you don't spend at least ten minutes getting to know every stranger you interact with. New Yorkers (and most people from northern states) think this is actually the epitome of rudeness as you're "wasting someone's time with useless chit chat." Best to say please and thank you and let everyone get on with their day. That combined with Frank's reserved personality would make for some hilarious situations when you first start dating. "Honey, why'd you ask the bodega guy about his wife and kids? Do you go to that bodega a lot?" "No, I've never met him before in my life, but I saw the picture on the wall behind the counter and was just making polite conversation." "There was a line behind you." "Well it woulda been rude to just pay and leave!" Don't worry, he gets used to every outing taking longer and actually finds it sweet eventually how you get to know everyone.

pairing | mob!chris evans x fem!reader
warning | fluff, mentions of violence, first kiss, first date, soft!chris
word count | 1.1k
The bar you worked in New York was right in the middle of the biggest companies in NYC. Though already having an internship with a Biotech company, needing another flow of income to come in to cover the bills for your apartment that was way too expensive for what it was.
You hated the people that came in, the place was mostly used for business meetings which meant that there were dozens of men who assumed that treating you like a piece of shit will make their day better.
“Yo babycakes!” You sighed, closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, before walking to where the man was sitting at the bar. “C’mon now, I don’t got all day.”
“What can I get you sir?” You put on a fake smile, feeling uneasy as his eyes roamed your body.
“How ‘bout you.” You couldn’t believe that he thought that was something he could say.
“A drink?” You ignored him, wiping down the surface of the bar. Feeling a hand wrap around your wrist, you looked up to see the man, leaning over the bar to grab now.
“Let me go.” You weren’t playing nice anymore, you knew that your boss wasn’t in, and you knew the minute you called for security, it’d be too late. Trying to pull away, his grip tightened, you felt his nails digging into your skin, knowing it was going to bruise later that night.
“Lorenzo.” You heard a deep voice behind him. “She said let go.”
“Mr. Evans.” He said in fear, moving his icy hand from your hand, you rubbed your wrist, starting to gather some ice, not hearing the conversation the two men were having. Going into the room behind the bar, you missed the fight.
“You will never touch her nor any woman like that ever again, you understand me.” Chris leaned down, crouching in front of him, while he laid on the ground, blood smeared all over his face when Chris punched him.
Not hearing a response, Chris grabbed him by his collar, pulling him up to his face. “I said, do. You. Understand. Me?”
“Yes sir.” He rasped out, letting out a satisfied hum, he dropped the man back on the drop before going back into the bar.
Hearing the knock on the door, you saw the man that defended you earlier.
“Oh sir, customers aren’t supposed to be back here, I’ll be out in a moment.” You were panicking, first with the man and now the other in the back, you’d be grateful if you still held the job by the end of the night.
Chris was shocked to find that you didn’t know he owned the bar. He just smiled softly before answering, “I’m sorry about that, I just came to check on you.”
The words ‘I’m sorry’ were foreign to Chris but he wouldn’t be lying to say he found you intriguing since he first saw you.
“It’s fine, I’m fine, I'm used to it by now.” You just shook your head, getting up and heading back out. The bar had now been emptied out, just leaving you and the unnamed man.
“I’m Chris.” He introduced himself.
“Y/n.”
-
“You own E. Biotech!” You stared at him from across the table. After the incident in the bar, Chris offered you dinner for what had happened. You assumed that Chris had some money to his name but walking into one of the most luxurious restaurants in New York, you were shocked.
Chris just laughed at your expression. You were everything he had dreamed of, just falling harder and harder for you.
“And the bar.” You muttered, “What else do you own in New York?”
“You really want me to answer that.” He smirked.
“No.” You giggled, your chin rested in your palm, looking over at Chris. You truly never had good luck at him, he was beautiful. Chris noticed how your gaze softened, setting down his fork and knife, reaching across the table to grab your hand.
“You're beautiful, you know that.” He whispered. Your eyes shifted down onto your plate, your body just freezing. “Oh come on, you must have to hear it all the time.”
You just simply squeezed his hand, looking back up to him, “Thank you.”
The rest of dinner went smoothly, both of you continuing to talk but you noticed how Chris had been trying to avoid a clear subject, seeing some holes in his stories when he talked.
Though you couldn’t even afford it, you tried paying for the bill, ultimately being beaten by Chris who had his card down the second the two of you walked.
“At least let me pay next time.” You smiled, the two of you walking down the streets of New York. Side by side, your hands laced together swinging in between the two of you, Chris’s jacket wrapped around your shoulders to keep you warm.
“Sure.” Chris just smiled, letting you guide him back to your apartment. Though he had a car waiting, you were the one adamant on walking home and Chris wouldn’t let you leave alone.
Chris wanted this to continue, he wanted to take you out on dates, he wanted to be with you, longing for a relationship, knowing how hard it was with his profession.
Knowing that you were safe and well protected with him made it better for him when the two of you finally were officially together.
Your voice had pulled him from your thoughts, looking up, standing in front of what he thinks is your apartment building.
“This is me.” You said softly, not wanting the night to end. “Thank you for walking me, you really didn’t have too.”
“It’s okay, I wanted to.” He smiled. Chris stood at the bottom of the steps before you stood two above him, almost matching his height.
“Your jacket.” You said realization, starting to pull it off, before Chris covered his hand over yours.
“Keep it.” Chris insisted, “I’ll take you back on our next date.”
“Another date.” You smirked.
“You offered the idea first.” He quipped.
Silence covered the two of you, Chris still holding onto your hand. The elephant in the room was clear as day since the restaurant and you were the one bold enough to say anything.
“I really want to kiss you.” You blurted.
Chris just smiled, dropping your hand, bringing it to cradle your cheek and jaw. Leaning down towards you, you reached out for the rest of the way, pulling his lips on yours.
They were softer than you imagined, and his beard felt wonderful against your skin. Smiling into it, your hands wrapped around his neck, pulling him in closer.
Gasping for air, Chris pulled away first reluctantly, pressing a peck before fully parting.
Starstruck, you couldn’t even speak, but remembering where you were.
“Thank you for tonight.” You whispered, “I hope we can do this again soon.”
“I don’t think I could ever go without seeing you again.”
fin.

June 13th, 2020
Being with Chris had its many perks but not working was definitely one Maya never wanted to take advantage of.
When Chris first brought it up when they got engaged she looked at him like he had two heads and said “I worked to hard put myself through school to get these expensive ass letters behind my name to just stay my ass at home” and that was the last time they had that conversation.
But fast forward to 2020 If you told Maya that she would have to close both of her dermatology offices in the middle of award season a few months ago she would have laughed at you.
She just couldn’t see herself not working because she loved what she does, but with both New York and Boston putting in place stay at home orders there’s nothing she could do.
It didn't help that it was only Maya in Boston dealing with work and all that entails, Delilah's up in the air school situation, and a whole hoax of things while Chris was in L A being as supportive of a husband and father as he could be on the other side of the country.
At least Dodger was being pretty normal.
Thanks to Chris's family for being so helpful where they could because for a minute Maya felt like she was beginning to drown.
This saga starts with the beginning of the pandemic.
January was chill there were whispers that there was a deadly pandemic on the horizon but no one took it seriously.
February Chris had left at the beginning of the month to LA to promote his new show Defending Jacob and it wasn't like anything out of the ordinary the couple worked, and called each other daily.
Chris told her he'd have to be there through March but would be home in time for Maya's birthday in April.
Her lawsuit against Boston PD was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount that was donated to charity and trust me that lawsuit cost them a pretty penny because Chris was threatening to go to the press and Boston PD did not need anymore negative press.
After finding out that the older officer already had many reports against him for abuse of power he was "let go" by Boston PD and the other officer was demoted to desk duty and sent Maya an apology letter for his actions
She thinks he only did it because her husband is Chris Evans but she tries not to be a cynic.
In mid March with her offices were forced to close and the lives of her twenty employees were in her hands, but sin there was no money coming in she had to regrettably furlough all of them until she could open back up.
This news could come at a worse time because Lilah's school was trying to transition them to online learning for the rest of the year.
So Maya now had to also be her home school teacher for the last 2 months before summer vacation .
Maya does feel blessed because she was still able to teach some derm online classes through NYU, and her family was healthy but Chris still wasn't home.
Because of travel restrictions in LA on April 1st Maya found out that the earliest Chris could be home was in possibly July or Mid June if they are lucky because he need to start filming for Grey Man that was set in Boston.
Then rumors started to swirl that Chris could be cheating on Maya but
She doesn't play that and isn't a dummy
Chris isn't stupid and
He's been in their home in LA quarenting with his brother Scott the whole time so if some foul shit did happen she would be the first one to know and on the first jet smoking to beat some ass.
But hey when it rains it pours.
In interviews Chris would say he was "quartining with his family at home in Boston."
They would try to make the spaces look just like Chris and Maya's homebase in Boston even going as far as strategically moving photos of them in the background to make it look like his office at home.
And it actually work most people thought Chris was in Boston anyways and it was all gossip the others thought he went back home to clean up this mess.
But nope Chris was not in Boston he was 2,764 miles away and this time it all just felt different and he hated not being able to be there with them during this crazy uncertain time and Maya just needed a vacation.
In April Maya and Delilah just had dinner at the house for her birthday they facetimed Chris and once Liliah had gone to bed Chris and Maya had sexytime over the phone.
The rest of the month Maya just went with the flow and did the same through June.
Now we are all caught up and in the present day.
It's Chris's 39th birthday but he was still in LA.
Maya stayed up to call him at midnight in LA because that was their tradition but now it was about 12pm and Chris has not picked up any of her phone calls Maya was annoyed.
Maya and Delilah sat in the Den as Maya was detangling Delilah's freshly washed hair getting ready to put her curly hair into braids as Mulan played on the tv in front of them.
"Mommy can I call dad it's his birthday and I haven't got to talk to him today. Lilah says playing with Maya's phone.
"Go ahead sweetheart maybe you'll have better luck them me." said Maya as she sectioned Lilah's hair.
As the facetime ringtone went Dodger who was laying in his dog bed next to Lilah began to bark and then he ran for the front door Maya looked that way but didn't see anything since the alarm didn't go off either which she found strange.
She shrugged it off only for a second until she heard a bag hit the ground as she quickly stood up the only thought in her head was to protect Delilah helping her to hide under the couch.
As the person entered their den Dodger continued to bark and she grabbed a pair hair scissors about to attack the intruder until she saw his face and exhaled the breath she didn't even know she was holding.
"CHRIS you scared the shit out of me" she said before he could say anything.
He laughed "Baby I didn't mean to scare you" Chris said
Lilah screamed and crawled from under the couch.
"daddy, daddy, daddy I missed you and Happy Birthday." Lilah said running into Chris's arm.
"I missed you to babycakes you been taking care of mommy for me" Chris said holding Lilah and walking towards a still shocked Maya.
He kissed Maya's forehead trying to pull her into a hug but she rolled her eyes and pushed his hand away.
"Chris i thought you weren't coming home till July" Maya asked
Chris shrugged "plans change now are you gonna come and give daddy a kiss you what"
He said flopping on the couch with Lilah on his lap.
Mays sucked her teeth peeked his lips and told Lilah to come so she could finish her hair.
Her saltiness cause Chris to laugh as Lilah moved over to her mom.
They were sitting on the same couch so Chris bent over and began to whisper in her ear. "Stop acting like that baby I wanted to surprise you"
Maya gave minimal response and Chris didn't like that so then he brought heat.
When he walked Maya had on a beige short set the top was fairly tin and the shorts barely covered her ass, he could see her nipples stand at attention on her delicious breast when walked.
It's been 3 months since he's had sex with his wife and boy can he feel it. He gave her tigh a firm squeeze now pecking her spot behind her ear forcing Maya to stop mid greasing Lilah's scalp to take a deep breath.
"if you stop acting up tonight I'll do that thing with my tongue that you like if not daddy won't be letting you cum at all tonight.
Chris said moving his body back to his original position smirking at his shooken up wife whose attitude did a 180 quick, fast and in a hurry.
Chris was no home and with his girls and he couldn’t be any happier.
After braiding Delilah's hair Maya went and they dropped her off at Chris’s moms which was a fight in itself because she wanted to stay with her daddy but Maya had other plans.
The original plan was to take Chris out of the country for his birthday but plans change.
Before Chris showed up today Maya had nothing planned for Chris's birthday because he was not suppose to be home they were just going to the same thing they did for her birthday.
On there way back home my had an idea with there hands intertwined Maya began to speak.
“So birthday boy what do you want to do for your birthday” Maya asked
“You know I don’t care as long as I’m with you my love” Chris said kissing her hand.
Maya giggled “Well we’ve dropped Dede at your moms and Scott said he could take Dodger”
She states looking at the puppy through the rear view mirror as Chris began to rub is thumb over her knuckles.
“It seems you already have a plan for us babe” he smirks
“I know you are just getting home but how about we drop Dodger off and I was thinking maybe drive to New York, I need to get out of Boston and have a bit of a staycation”. She said.
Chris chuckled and looked at Maya as the stopped at the red light.
“Wherever you lead I’ll follow. He said
“You are so corny old man” Maya laughed as she leaned over and peek his sweet lips.
They continued their drive to Scotts and talked enjoying eachothers company for the first time in a while, they were so wrapped up in each other that Dodger had to bark to remind Chris he was about to pass Scoots house .
Maya laughed at the puppy then pet him telling him how good of a dog he is.
“Alright birthday boy Scott has Dodger now let's switch its my turn to drive you around” She said.
They headed home to pick up a few things and then The Evans were off and headed for there trip.
After the 3 and 1/2 hour drive they got to New York and the barren streets shocked them.
They are staying in there penthouse apartment on the upper east side that over looks Central Park and New York's famous skyline.
Before settling in Maya decided to get groceries once she got back Jazz played softly in her ears as the punchy aroma of the candle Slow Burn hit her nose.
“Hey Chris I'm back” she called out to him.
She was met without a response just the smooth stylings of Frank Sinatra.
Maya put the groceries in the kitchen and headed to their master bedroom.
Kicking her shoes off and following the rose petals into the bathroom that revealed Chris who sat in all his glory in the pink tinted bathtub.
Apparently he did not hear her as his eyes stayed closed and his arms outstretched.
And all Maya could do was admire the greek god that was her husband.
His long wingspan encompassed the entire back of the tub as his strong biceps would flex ever deep breath he took. And don't to get Maya started on those baby blues which were one of the only things Lilah did not get from Chris. Those same blue eyes were now looking straight at her.
“I was hoping you’d be back soon” he said
Raising his head to look at his goddess of a wife smirking at him.
“So I’m guessing you would like me to join you?” She asked
Maya teased him as she began to slowly remove her clothes.
“Hey aren’t I the birthday boy that shouldn’t even be a question Maya so you better bring your sexy ass in here” Chris said to her as his arms still laid on the back of the tub looking like a king”
Maya stepped in with Chris’s help the warm water encapsulating her body as she sinks down.
She sighs in satisfaction when her body is finally completely in the water as she lays into Chris’s embrace.
They just sit there and enjoy each other company, washing the dirt off of each other from the day, and stealing kisses from one another.
Maya and Chris were that couple you loved to hate they didn’t show off their love that much with Chris’s anxiety and Maya’s destain for public scrutiny because she’s black woman with a man of Chris stature, PDA was mostly off the table. However behind closed doors they are the cutest most intimate couple you’d ever meet.
Once she was clean from her road dirt Maya left the water first placing a kiss on Chris’s lips as she headed to start dinner and Chris laid back and continued to relax.
Once Chris finally got out the bath he found Maya in the kitchen halfway finished with dinner.
“Jesus babe it smells fantastic in here and I see you changed the music” Chris said
He was now fully dressed in a blue t-shit in matching joggers, his hair damp from the bath as Lauryn Hill's rendition of Can't Take My Eyes off of You played in the background.
She chuckled “only the best for you my king”
"Mhm I like the sound of that" He said as he went in the fridge and grabbed a bottle of white wine and poured them both a glass.
She was at the counter cutting up veggies.
“Ok so how long do I have wait before I can devour all this?” he asked placing the glass in front of Maya.
They took their first cheers of the night tapping the glasses together.
Maya took a sip and moan at the taste of the wine.
“Soon Chris don’t stress it babe you will be fed very soon” she said.
Her hips began to sway to the music as she hummed along.
At long last, love has arrived, and I thank God I'm alive
Chris walked up behind her wrapping her arms around waist swaying with her body and catching the rhythm.
You're just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off you
Moving her hair to her left shoulder Chris begins to kiss her neck.
"Remember when we first bought this place." Chris asked
"Yes you didn't want to you said my place in Brooklyn was enough for us" Maya said putting the knife down and melted into Chris's strong arms.
"Mmm but you did an excellent job at convincing me why we need this place, 3 bedrooms right in the Heart of the city just for times likes these when want to get away." Chris said with his arms still wrapped around her.
She laughed "I thought it was because you fucked me against the balcony on our terrace is why you said yes"
He smirked at the memory "well that to"
Chris sucked on her neck and moved his down her satin dress but the timer on the pot decided to be a cock block and go off before he could make a move.
He groaned and Maya laughed directed him to get ready to eat.
Just as the food was finishing up Chris set the dining table for two, taking the rest of the flowers from his bath laying them out between the kitchen and there Terrence where they were having dinner overlooking the city.
It was a beautiful night. There was a soft breeze and the city was a glow quieter that usual but still a sight to behold.
Maya brought out the food as Chris poured them another glass, they both sat prayed then rose their glasses to cheers again.
During dinner Chris made some corny jokes that always seemed to put Maya in a better mood as Maya would slyly rub her foot up Chris’s pant leg.
Next came dessert still out on the terrace they shared a slice of cake (more like Maya fed Chris cake) which is how she ended up in his lap enjoying the very expensive yet immaculate view they had from their home.
He rubbed her thigh as he kisses her shoulder just thinking of the fastest way to get Maya out of her dress.
"god you are beautiful" Chris said
His hand now playing with the trim of her panties under her strappy white satin dress.
"Oh no birthday boy you not fucking me out here tonight you gotta come inside for your last present" Maya said.
Chris groaned Maya got up seductively waking back inside her curves just begging him to follow her
“This woman Is going to be the death of me” Chris thought as he came back inside and closed the door that lead to the terrace.
Maya handed Chris his third and final glass of wine of the night.
He raised an eyebrow "Are you trying to get me drunk Mrs. Evans so you can have your way with me?" he asked.
Taking a sip from his glass he smacked Maya the ass and watched it move as she walked towards their living room.
She laughed "I wouldn't have to get you drunk to have my way with you Mr. Evans"
Their living room had floor to ceiling windows that overlook Chris's second favorite city, and that's where Maya stood wine glass in hand looking all the people that looked like ants. But all Chris could think about was how this woman fell for him.
She watched the scenery and he watched her but when that signature trumpet blew he remembered that the music was still playing and so did she.
Maya turned around to see Chris was watching her one hand in his pocket and the other still holding his wine, she made a face at him.
"What are you looking at me like that Chris, you ok?” she asked hand on her hip taking another drink from her glass.
The moon shined off her skin like she was in the sun, her white dress reminding him of their wedding day the way it hugged her figure.
Still speechless Chris walked up to her placing both of their glasses on the coffee table, he brushed her hair behind her ear and she moans nuzzling her head in his touch.
"Baby I am absolutely perfect because I am here with you" he says.
Chris softly pulls her by the waist bringing her flush against her body as raspy voice of Louis Armstrong in Le Vie En Rose brought butterfly’s to Maya’s stomach because this was their song.
His hands lay softly on her waist as her arms lay around his shoulder as they dancer slowly around there living room.
Hold me close and hold me fast, The magic spell you cast, this is la vie en rose.
His cologne sent waves of pleasure and warmth through her body, when Maya laid her head on his chest not wanting to let him go. As their heartbeat became in sync the moonlight casted their sillones on the ground.
They were two lovers who were lost in eachother hoping to never get out and wanting to hide from the world it felt new but familiar.
Once the song ended Chris kissed her so deep and and passionately Maya thought she was gonna cum then and there.
Chris's hands moved from their previously respectable position making circle on her hips to the bottom of her ass telling Maya to jump causing Maya wrap her chocolate legs around his waist.
As Chris walked he kept repeating how much he missed Maya so much while he was in LA.
They couldn’t even make it back to their bedroom for their first round of many.
And Maya was a goner as Chris made love to her all night in every corner of their apartment as the city watched as the couple were engulfed with each other.
But there was a little voice in the back of Maya's head "Well damn how are we going to top 40 next year" it asked.
The preoccupied side of her brain shooed hat thought away so she could just enjoy being with her man at this moment.
Thanking god there was no more space between them like the miles before.

How would the boys react to their s/o happy crying when they bring them to like the top of a skyscraper and they see all of NYC (I'm not American and have always wanted to to to NYC)
Mun here *is* an American-
But I've never been to NYC either. I've been to a few different states, I've been been to Europe once, but I've never been to New York. So let's see what kind of magic we can work for you 💖
You'd been living in New York for a little while now, so this had been a long time coming. You always talked so dreamily about what it must be like seeing the city while on patrol, and tonight was the night. His brothers were certain they could handle patrolling without him, it had been quiet the past couple days, and the police scanners were showing little to no activity. He was assured that should anything major come up, he would be informed, just to convince him they would be fine to handle one night without him. "Go show them a good time already."
Leo:
Has it all planned out
That is, until you start crying
"Are you okay?"
Thinks you may have gotten hurt somehow
Or you're homesick
Or maybe you're terrified of heights and he somehow forgot! Oh no!!
When you give him a watery smile and explain its just so beautiful, he's instantly relieved.
He holds you close.
"It wouldn't be near as beautiful without you here."
Raph:
Has a vague idea of what he wants to do
Mostly just his favorite spot to watch the night life
Telling you all about some crazy funny shit that went down last week when he realizes you're crying
"Hey, what's with the waterworks?"
Already rubbing your arm to comfort you
When you give a wet laugh, wiping your eyes and explain you're just so happy, you'd never seen anything like this before
Gives you the softest smile and hugs you close
"Yeah, I gotta agree."
He's never seen anything like this before either
Donnie:
Has been planning for weeks
WEEKS
Everything is set to go and he gladly shows you an amazing night
His favorite spot to stargaze so close to the city
Factoids about New York
More about the museum
Brings you to the highest point he knows of so you can see the absolute most of the city possible without flying
He's excitedly telling you all about some of the adventures he and his brothers have had at different intersections and such when he hears you sniffle
"Dove?"
He peeks down at you, concerned
"It's just so, it's too much, I can't-You're tripping over your words but he can tell you're not upset
"It really is a sight, isn't it?"
Smiles softly and rocks gently side to side with you in his arms, your back to his chest
He can only think of how you're the only one who could complete this night
Mikey:
Has been going off the walls about his plans
They're scattered and change at the drop of a hat
Annoying the living hell out of his brothers
When the day finally comes, plans swiftly fly out the window
He's singing off key to you, belting lyrics as you dance across rooftops
He's laughing and so full of light when he's with you, even moreso than usual
He brings you to a crazy high billboard and sits down with you, legs hanging off the edge and kicking the air lazily
Snacks galore up there, but you haven't touched a morsel
He was just about to tell you about the time he and Raph almost got caught topside by a kid when he hears your shakey breath
"Babycakes? you alright?"
Leans forward on the safety rail to get a good look at you
"I just, I never thought I'd get to see this...I didn't realize it would be so....so..."
You struggle to come up with a word that can stand well describing the beauty of it
He nods a little, looking back over the city, sighing wistfully
"Yeah...thanks for letting me show it to you."
Looks back to you, smiling, tears in the corners of his own eyes as he takes your hand and gives it a light sqeeze
"I'm really glad I got to show it to you."
He really can't explain how much it means to him
Quietly watches the nightlife with you until sunrise, shedding a few tears of his own

Hi I just read your Kinktober fics (again) and I'm now actually crying over the super soft Daddy Kink entry where Bucky explains his love for Steve to him and Steve is like "Is love a powerful enough word to relay how Steve feels in this moment? How he feels every day? Steve doesn’t think so, but he says it anyway." And long story short, I love Daddy Steve and Baby Buck so much, they make me so happy and soft with how much they love each other and I love YOU for bringing me this happiness 💖😭
Oh babycakes, I love them
SO MUCH.
It’s probably an unhealthy amount of love that I hold for them lmao. At least twice a day I say to myself, “I wonder how Daddy Steve and Baby Buck are...?” as if these two mfs are alive and thriving in NYC, ahhhh. And as I’m finishing Walker I just feel like I’m floating and am sugary-spun cotton candy because they’re so in love, the two of them, and they’re the best person for each other and Steve is the best Daddy and Bucky is the best baby and I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
And I love you!! Thank you for this. I’m so glad I’m not alone. 🥺

i want to app for the heartbreak kid but he already has so many rip
Don't let that stop you from taking a leap, babycakes! Like, where would be if Madonna never acted like a total queen and moved to NYC with a dream and no cash? Send the app! Throw your hat into the ring! We'd, like, love to have you.

hi, kristin! we're an appless, oc rp that surrounds a group of different people from differing social classes in nyc back in 1978. even though there are three apartment buildings in three different parts of manhattan, the short distance and planned events provide a rare, profound sense of community. could we possibly get a shout out? thank you so much!
you got it, babycakes!! if you like apartment rps with a 1970′s twist, i highly recommend this!!!

Double Chocolate Caramel Cake & 5 Years
frank and i celebrate 5 years of marriage tomorrow. it was one of the best days of my life, a day filled with such an overwhelming amount cheer and enthusiasm from so many people that it's hard to describe with just mere words.
since i was a little girl, i thought i would get married where i summered every year on martha's vineyard. i had the venue picked out and everything! we would get married on the patio of beach plum inn, while overlooking menemsha bight at sunset. there would be twinkling lights, and great food, and dancing, and all around awesome time. clearly little me wasn't thinking about grownup things like cost and logistics. so when frank and i started wedding planning a wedding on martha's vineyard was quickly crossed off. so we switched gears to something a bit more local, and affordable. a quick google search of "farms by the ocean", turned up with some interesting, but very limited options. luckily, we found salt air farm, which by the name alone had me super interested. it happened to be located on long island, where i grew up when i was little, and everything quickly fell into place, and felt so right.
our wedding was very much a family affair, which makes the memory that much sweeter. my mom, a close family friend/planner/caterer, and i planned every last detail. our dj was another long-time friend, as was our amazing photographer. i designed the invitations, seating cards, table numbers, etc.! and salt air farm also happened to be a fruit and flower farm, so all the centerpieces came right from the fields that the entrance of the farm welcomed each guest with. there was so much heart and soul that went into our wedding, but we also never felt more appreciative of the outpouring of love than on that day.
but the best part was marrying frank. never have i known anyone like him. he is simply the sweetest, kindest, most patient man i will ever know. i am forever grateful to whatever cosmic powers that led to us meeting.
ok, let's talk cake before i start crying even more than i already am. our wedding cake was 3-tiers, and aside from being yummy and gluten-and-dairy-free, i didn't really care too much about it. we went to babycakes in nyc, and tasted a few of their flavors, and i'm pretty sure we just settled on a basic chocolate and vanilla duo, with a traditional vanilla frosting. the cake here has two really luscious chocolate-y layers, a chocolate fudge frosting, and it's topped off with an almond butter-based caramel sauce. i decorated it with the same blush-y shade of flowers that was in my wedding bouquet, as well as in the centerpieces on each table - a subtle, little reminder of that day. the recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks from this past spring, sweet laurel. the book is full of thoughtful gluten-and-dairy-free recipes. from morning treats, to breads, and nut-based cream cheese; to beautiful cakes, and tips on how to decorate them. it's a lovely book for those who love to bake, or someone who is new to gluten-and-dairy-free baking.
love & cake. xo!

Double Chocolate Caramel Cake | gf & df
chocolate cake and dark chocolate fudge frosting recipe from Sweet Laurel, by Laurel Gallucci & Claire Thomas
| make a two 6-inch layers |
dark chocolate fudge frosting
4 pounces 100% cacao unsweetened baking chocolate, roughly chopped
1/4 cup coconut oil, solid
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup almond milk or full-fall coconut milk, or as needed
cake
coconut nut oil, for greasing the pans
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup 100% unsweetened cacao powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon himalayan pink salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate fudge frosting (ingredients below)
1 cup caramel sauce (ingredients below)
caramel sauce (recipe from Pinch of Yum)
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons almond butter
pinch of sea salt
method
make the frosting. in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate and coconut oil, stirring constantly. remove the pan from the heat. slowly add the maple syrup and stir to incorporate. allow to cool completely.
transfer the chocolate mixture to a medium bowl and, using an electric mixer, beat in the almond butter until a thick frosting forms. add the almond milk and stir with a spatula until smooth.
refrigerate for at least 8 hours, then bring to room temperature and beat with an electric mixer until spreadable.
make the cake. preheat oven to 350°F. line two 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper rounds, then grease the sides of the pans with coconut oil.
in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour cacao powder, baking soda, and salt. in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. a little at a time, add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until a batter forms.
divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. invert the cakes onto racks, and allow to cool completely (*my note: i let the cake cool in the pan on a rack, then inverted them onto a rack to then cool completely).
place one layer on a cake plate and top with 1/2 cup of the fudge frosting, smoothing it evenly over the entire surface. drizzle a few tablespoons of the caramel on top. add the second layer and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of frosting, then drizzle more caramel over the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
refrigerate until ready to serve. take out 20-30 minutes prior to serving. decorate with fresh blooms, sprinkles, herbs, herbs flowers, etc.!

Babycakes NYC, Larchmont Village, CA
I loved this chick. She said she drove for Postmates too and we talked about the best areas to deliver in and the good shit and the worst shit as she boxed my cupcakes. And I’m definitely using that sentence as a sexual innuendo for when I finally “box her cupcakes” :p
