Bucky's baby girl who loves his metal arm.
She runs hot just like her daddy, the serum also coursing through her keeping her extra warm. She's all fussy until Bucky cradles her in his left arm and the content sigh she lets out feeling his cool metal against her warm, chubby cheek is unmatched.
It's also perfect when she starts teething. No other toys do it like daddy's thumb. She's happily tucked in the crook of his arm, two tiny hands holding onto his much larger one so she can get a proper grip and chew on his fingers. The coldness soothes her gums.
Bucky's babygirl who only falls asleep when he holds her. It's not that she doesn't fall asleep with her mommy, but she's clearly picked up this habit directly from you. Her daddy's chest is her favourite place to be and you can't complain because you feel the exact same way. There's nothing cuter than her little gummy smile while sleeping contently on daddy's chest, his metal fingers rubbing her back in soothing circles. She practically gets lost in him when he holds her, such a tiny bundle wrapped up around metal and muscle. Of course he gives you the exact same treatment after she's around asleep in her crib and you're also softly snoring moments later.
(Just a rogue thought but imagine Bucky doesn't get the playful pout you make whenever his daughter whines to cuddle up with him, taking away from his snuggle time from you. He so very clearly has time for you both. Then you have a son. The places have been switched as he watches his babyboy coo and giggle in your arms between nursing and Bucky isn't jealous of his own son but he 100% ready for his turn to be in your lap with your boobs in his face. When his son only sleeps on mommy's warm chest with all the skin to skin contact, he's side eyeing you with his shirt off, ready for cuddles immediately after. He's a menace and it's the cutest thing)

bucky barnes as a husband headcanon!
heavily inspired by my steve headcanons here, I wanna try my hand at writing more of james. he is the epitome of devotion, he falls first and falls hard.
this kind of takes part in an alternative au (think avengers are still together but its post the falcon and the winter soldier)
he is canonically good at cunnilingus
you think Iâm joking? This man divulges into a rabid animal the second he gets close to your thighs. He is on his knees whilst your pressed up against the counter rubbing his face against your clothed crotch moaning and grinding in the air
he says if he could have gotten a taste of you while he was the winter soldier it would've required his brain and reversed the brainwashing
âto be alone with youâ - hozier is buckyâs song
like steve, he feels the isolation and ghost-like feeling of being lost in time. Brooklyn doesn't feel like home anymore, he constantly reaches for you, even in sleep because you are the thing he now belongs to.
you can never get used to how intense bucky just..stares at you. Every single moment of the day you'll just catch him watching you silently not saying a word. It wasn't creepy, no it had this protective almost darkness to it that was all consuming. At one of Tonyâs parties, heâs watching you across the room with a glass in his hand or mysterious and shit. (probably thinking about when is a polite time to leave)
which is never because bucky just drags you both out of every gathering. Every goodbye is an Irish one
man bun bucky. Thatâs it.
lets you cut his hair when it gets to the point of covering his eyes. Sometimes his stubble too, thumb circling and grazes your thigh as you lean over him with a scalpel.
most of the team are still gobsmacked at how bucky justs..trusts you. Whether it be with a shaving, or jumping out of a corner. If any of the team tried to pull a knife on bucky he would probably (not) accidentally break their jaw
after missions all the Avengers know heâll be offline for at least a couple days to be with you. What they donât discuss is half of those days are fucking you bruised. He gets all pent up and irritated when he isnât around you, itâs like you recalibrate his mood back to baseline regular bucky when he can finally sink into you.
doll, darlinâ, honey
if you think steve is possessiveâŚjust exponentiate that to the power of 10 and you have husband bucky. Are we forgetting this man used to be the winter soldier? he's cute and adorable but also can be fucking horrifying. Iâm talking blank face breaking a mans jaw cause he looked at you funny
very casual in his superhuman abilities to protect you.Â
silky dulcet notes of etta james, the album sam had gifted you both playing as you cut up some root vegetables. Itâs summer and the night is long and warm, and you and bucky are humming as you prepare dinner. You're twirling your hips, Bucky is leaning against the countertop, half trussing the chicken and the other watching you when he suddenly stops. You don't notice it at first, until he cocks his head to the side, kind of blinks and moves to turn the saucepan on low. You turn to him, and he grabs for one of the kitchen knives on the bench before reaching for you.
"there's someone in the backyard"
all nonchalant, like it had been a burrowing animal stuck under the floorboards. he motions for you to continue, turns up the record player a bit and walks into the backyard without a sound.
this man is touch starved, of course he is cock warming after. each and every time.
one of the things bucky loved about you is at ease he felt, he could talk to you and spill everything out in a way he never could with dr raynor or even steve.
there was a bit of distance from him when he first met you, he was awestruck, even more silent than he usually was. Just stared at you longingly, standing off to the side. he didnât think he could be anything but feared, it genuinely got to the point where you thought he didn't like you or that you had done something wrong. when steve had told him this, he nearly died. no, i'd like to think he's heart stopped for a couple seconds seriously. than got up from fainting, took you aside, and kissed you against the back of sarah's backyard door on the fourth of july.
stations a few target practice posts in your backyard. teaches you how to shoot, chest pressed up against your back as he helps move your body in the right position. always make sure you know where the weapons are in the house
singing to records whilst he's cleaning said weapons at the table
takes you to all the places still standing he remembers in Brooklyn, you hold his hand and let him rest against your shoulder when the past gets caught in his throat.
Steve finds a place in the city with actual good music, where people actually dance, and it becomes your spot every Friday.
yeah, one thing bucky remembers would be his muscle memory of the dance floor, heâs goooood. Teaches you everything he knows in your kitchen of course, always ends up with you making out on top of each other though
dry humping like teenagers, bucky with his low hanging jeans, not wearing boxes and making a mess just from the taste of your mouth
actually, sometimes breaks down in tears when he realises youâre his wife. Like forever.
always thinking about you, what you're doing, if you've eaten. even if hes in the middle of recon you will be in the back of his mind.
leans over and loops his dog tags around your neck whenever he leaves for missions. kisses your eyelids when your sleeping and the fight calls him
the second time you and bucky visited Wakanda he had Shuri craft the ring to be fused into his vibranium finger..yeah I know.
bucky isnât the extroverted talking type, but with you he is constantly just yapping..about anything and everything. Following you around the house like a puppy, coming to you for the answers about the new world and questions he always harboured even before the ice
bucky is hilarious, he's already an adonis, but he could laugh you of your pants
canât bear fighting with you, he never yells. He just kind of goes quiet and takes a walk
you guys live in a house with a huge backyard and a wraparound porch
loves cooking, lets him turn his mind off sometimes and make you something hearty and warm. he has a frilly gingham patterned apron he wears and his curls are wrapped into a bun with your scrunchie. floor always ends up on his cheek, and you always end up on the kitchen bench with his mouth on you
night terrors had him sleeping in a sleeping bag next to the bed, he refused despite your attempts. Sometimes he'd wait till you fell asleep against him and make the heartbreaking quiet separation and sleep on the floor
sometimes likes to take of his arm around the house, especially sleeping. Keeps it near in case though, for you.
heâs thick everywhereâŚtook an hour of foreplay minimum to get you ready for him. You both will never get used to each other, needing to take a moment of hushed gasps and groans when he first sinks in
the wedding was in Sams backyard in Delacroix, just Sam, Sarah, the kids and Yoshi and the team
fairylights wrapped around the spanish moss of hanging trees, soft jazz and hard liquor. Sarahâs seafood boil and a dance floor where bucky spends half the night with you there
dad!bucky on the other hand..now that is a different ballpark. wait no actually, just him when you're both expecting. let's not forgot when he stormed into the tower and broke through the office doors to ask why on earth tony had scheduled him a mission so close to the birth of your baby, tossing him his phone which was now crumbled heap of metal in the shape of his fists....(you were two weeks along)

Back To Work | Bucky Barnes x Female!Reader | Drabble - 800 words
Retirement, a new house, a romantic evening planned, Bucky just knew that life was all going too well . Especially when he starts being hounded to return to his superhero life.
Warnings: language, fluff, a little angsty at the end. Featuring domestic thunderbolts Bucky.
Dividers by @firefly-graphics and @reveriesources
Masterlist | Bucky Barnes
âBucky, are you ready to go baby?â Your voice carried through from the living room as he clicked his arm back into place, shrugging his shoulder to get the fit right.Â
You'd been excited all day, buzzing around the new house and opening boxes, trying to unpack at the same time as finding the perfect outfit. Bucky was only half regretting making plans so soon after moving, sure it was stressful trying to dig out his nice shoes from the piles of boxes and bags, but seeing you so happy was completely worth it and knowing youâd be coming home to your house, together, was just the icing on the cake.Â
Now the sun was setting and you had turned on the downlighters in the kitchen, void of your usual clutter it looked lonely.Â
âJust checking my phone, Doll.â He called back picking the offending item up from the counter - so many missed messages, he sighed.
 He'd been better recently, replying to Sam and catching up with him every week or so. He'd even managed to facetime Steve in his retirement home. He quite enjoyed the easy freedom of digital communication. But today, of all days, it had been pinging non-stop all driving him crazy during the drive and ruining the relaxing and, he hoped, romantic atmosphere he was trying to create.Â
âCome on, baby, I don't want to be late.â You strolled into the kitchen and he dropped the phone again to focus his attention on you instead, taking in your dress and heels, your lipstick perfectly done. How could he worry about a stupid phone when you were together.Â
âCâmere,â he pulled you close, tucking you under his chin and planting a kiss to the top of your head.Â
He smelt lovely, fresh from the shower but with the hint of cut wood from building furniture. His vest revealed the hint of his dog tags, outlined under the fabric, as well as his tanned skin from a summer well spent outside, your traced your fingers over the chain and up his neck. Tangling your fingers in his long hair you tugged him down for a kiss.Â
âLove you, Buck.â You whispered against his lips, heat surging through you just at his presence.Â
âLove you too.â His lips tickled your cheek, behind your ear, and then he was swinging you up onto the counter.Â
âDon't make us late!âÂ
âIf you don't like it, stop giggling.â His fingers tickled up your bare legs, eyes twinkling with desire.Â
PingÂ
âThat fucking phone,â Bucky growled, grabbing it again. More messages, more missed calls.Â
âYou should see what they want,â wrapping your arms and legs around him as you tugged Bucky closer, every line and curve fitting against him perfectly. He was sun warmed and cuddly, still ridiculously strong, but the hard lines and plains had softened since his retirement and you couldnât get enough.Â
âFine, for you, then we're going to go and have a nice dinner and I'm leaving this stupid thing here.â He grumbled, chin on top of your head.Â
You giggled again, leaving kisses on his chest. Bucky was so attached to that thing you didn't believe it for a second. Until his breathing went funny, heartbeat speeding up beneath your cheek.Â
âWhat is it?â
His eyes had lost their sparkle, looking sad and serious.Â
âI might have to rearrange dinner.âÂ
âWhat? Why?â You couldnât see the phone, but his eyes raced across whatever heâd been sent.
âWhere did we pack the gear?â
âThe what? Oh - uh,it's in the trunk, in the garage but -âÂ
Bucky slid away, eyes glazed, focussed, intent and you were suddenly so cold without his presence.Your heart sank listening to the movement in the garage on the other side of the wall.Â
He emerged ten minutes later, his smart trousers and vest discarded in favour of leather, the dirty t-shirt he'd been wearing while you were unpacking was back and heâd at least grabbed his soft leather jacket for protection.Â
You threw yourself into his arms, tears springing to your eyes. âAre you needed?âÂ
âI think so,â his voice was low, sinking into the headspace required to take on whatever danger was lurking.Â
âCome back to me in one piece, okay?â Your voice cracked, arms squeezing him impossibly tight.
âOf course, doll.â He looked at you then, tears welling in his own eyes, his lips so soft against your own.Â
âYou're my hero, you know that? You don't have to do anything else?âÂ
He nodded, letting you slide back to the floor, heels clicking on the tile in a sad reminder of your ruined evening.Â
âI love you, Bucky.â
âI love you, lock the door behind me, okay? Donât let anyone, anyone, in.âÂ
It was your turn to nod, you knew the protocols, the rules that reassured him.Â
His bike roared to life, then he was gone, and you were alone in the echo of your home.Â

"James Buchanan Barnes, why is there a body part in my damn dishwasher?"
"Sorry, doll, I couldn't wait for it to air dry."
"Don't 'doll' me. You're lucky that vibranium didn't get dirty from the leftover food. Wait, is this why our son decided to put his toy in the oven? Because he saw you do this?"
"You mean the Redwing toy Sam got him? No, I'm pretty sure he did that all on his own."
"Bucky, did you tell him to put it in the oven?"
"...I didn't not tell him."
"...You're a bad influence."
"Am I? I think you should be proud that he's strong enough to open the oven on his own."
"..."
*Kiss to the cheek as Bucky grabs his arm* "Love you."
*sigh* "Love you, too."
***** Bahaha. We love domestic Bucky here.
Love and thanks! â¤ď¸

âOooh, What are we watchin' tonight?â Bucky asks excitedly as he slides into bed beside you.
The bed dips beneath his weight, and you feel the cold breeze of the apartment air as the sheets lift before it is replaced by the furnace that is your boyfriend.
âitâs G-â you begin, adusting the screen of your laptop so Bucky can watch as he lays behind you.
âWait! Donât tell me, I wanna guessâ, he exclaims, snuggling into you, his arms winding around your waist to pull you against his chest. âhmmm, Golden Girls!â
âClose! Gilmore Girls! " You snuggle into him, nesting further back against his bare chest, the heat soothing you.
"Shoulda guessed." his comment is murmured into your clothes as he presses a kiss to your shoulder. "You're always playing this show."
Bucky swings his leg over your hip, locking you in place beside him as he begins to hum along with the opening theme. His fingers slip under your shirt, splaying against your stomach. It's not sensual or suggestive; he just likes being able to feel you, the heat of your skin on his. His lips move against you skin, softly singing the lyrics.
'Where you lead, I will follow, Anywhere that you tell me to'

Just some ramblings
I love getting to see Bucky post recovery in fics. Getting the happy slow life he deserves, pretty little housewife (you) and a tiny chubby-cheeked baby. White picket fence, holidays, Barnses family reunions, because we all know Bucky would adore that. Welcoming a cat and another one of his mini-meâs, maybe two.
But what about after that? His oldestâs graduation, his youngestâs? I want Bucky who struggles to watch his babies move out, I want Bucky who is devastated to watch them leave but even happier to see them thrive. What about when he becomes a granddad?
So here is old man Bucky becoming a granddad after getting the domestic bliss he deserves.
Itâs his birthday. What number, Bucky didnât know, he stopped keeping track too long ago. Far more important was the roudy group of his grown children, scattered around the living room with their partners and childhood friends, extended family and the like. Itâs been nothing short of perfect, great food and nice weather with all his favorite people shoved into one house.
All except for one, that is.
âLittleâ Eliana, the youngest of the bunch and the only girl. Even though sheâs a happy and healthy 25 years old, she was still doted on by all the men, brothers and Bucky alike. She was the princess, the baby, the littlest duck in the row- despite being married for 3 years already. So it really shouldnât have been as surprising as it was to him, but Bucky still saw a grinning little girl with dirty hands when he looked at her. Eliana arrived with husband in tow fashionably late, her present tucked away to the back to the pile amidst the chaos of being greeted. Bucky, being the birthday Dad, got the first and longest hug naturally. One that he savored, tucking his little girl into his arms and holding her close. He still couldnât believe where life had taken him, finding his soulmate and settling down. Getting to watch his outstanding children grow and prosper in ways he never imagined, everything he never believed he deserved. But it was his anyways, and he had no idea just how much more amazing his life was about to become.
Every year Bucky insisted he didnât need any gifts. He was the happiest he could imagine with just his family, all safe and sound in the same house. Yet every year, he got to unwrap a mounting pile of presents that just keep getting better. So far he got a new watch from his son, which was amazing. Something he had been really needing too. A cat tree from the other son, two new mugs, the softest blanket he had even felt. Slowly the pile went from huge, to decent, until there was only one left. Elianaâs, a tiny little black box topped with a cute golden ribbon. She always had adored her fatherâs arm, hours of her childhood spent marveling at the metal. Now the fascination presented itself in his gift wrapping, or the black wedding band on her finger. A mimic of the engraving he had done when he married you.
She passes it over with a nervous smile, immediately curling back into her husbandâs side. Bucky took the gift with a grin and a thank you, settling back and carefully peeling away the paper. Youâre watching over his shoulder when he opens the lid, tossing it to the side and revealing the contents within. A little folded square of fabric. He pulled it out, confusion clear on his face as he turned it over. He unfolded it, taking a second to process just what he was looking at.
A tiny baby onesie, and written across the front was âIâm not spoiled, my Granddad just loves meâ. He blinked, turning it over in his hands and re-reading the words, then reading them again. You had already put together the dots, leaping from your spot next to him with a surprised shriek. For Bucky, it was taking a while to really set in, eyes locked on the little outfit in his hands.
His daughter wasâŚpregnant?
He was going to be a grandfather?
âŚHeâs going to be a grandfather!
The tears are falling before the poor man even realizes heâs crying. Because after everything he had done, all the pain and suffering caused, Bucky was lucky enough to now be a grandfather. He looked up when legs appearing in his blurry vision, and there she was. The girl he had read stories to every night, kissed her boo-boos and held her hand. The girl who he raised into a wonderful young woman, smiling at him with giddy excitement. Excitement over having a child of her own, creating her own family to love and cherish. His chest was practically bursting with emotions, all of them pouring out with his tears and laughter as he stood to sweep her in his arms again.
And needless to say, the onesie spoke the truth. If you think this man spoiled his children, itâs a whole other ball game with his grandkids. His wallet is their atm, stealing them away for weekends with Pop-Pop, giving them memories to cherish forever. He cries holding his first granddaughter after sheâs born. He cries when the second and third come, and heâs inconsolable when your eldest son reveals the name of his own firstborn. Andrew Bucky Barnes, the fifth grandchild he gets to welcome.
Pop-pop who picks up his kiddos early from school just because he missed them
Pop-pop who never misses a thing. Holidays, birthdays, graduations.
Pop-pop who always has the best stories, the warmest hugs, and the fluffiest pet cat.
Pop-pop who all his grand-babies adore just as much as he adores them.

Peter's Precarious Polyjuice Potion - part 1
pairing:Â peter parker x stark!reader
synopsis:Â in which you and peter are forced to take extreme lengths to protect your secret relationship with the help of your shape shifting powers
warnings:Â a little suggestive language, lot's of fluff, lack of impulse control, extreme secrecy
word count:Â 5.7k
masterlist
a/n: Just a quick psa: this is the first of two parts! I tried to make it a one shot, but it was wayyy too long. There are some mentions of Harry Potter, obviously by the title, but no major spoilers and I want to make it very clear that I DO NOT support JK Rowling nor her transphobia. Trans women are women and trans men are menđłââ§! That being said, I have another little surprise in the works that may have something to do with the wizarding world...
If you want to know what it is (and maybe get a sneak peak) comment your favorite character from the series and make a guess as to who you think mine might be. I'll reveal it with the next part of this series.
Thanks and enjoy!
Was there anything better than a chilly winter morning with the one you love most? Absolutely, a chilly winter morning with the one you love most and Harry Potter in the background. Thatâs all you could think of as your fuzzy sock clad feet padded across the campus floor.Â
The festive seasonâs aroma invaded your senses as you managed to steal the first four films from your fatherâs extensive DVD collection without being caught, the cover of the first one glinting in the light that flooded in from the wall of windows encasing Avengerâs campus as you admired how young the cast used to look and made your way to your boyfriendâs bedroom.
Suddenly, the usual quiet of the campus in the early morning was disturbed by the sound of footsteps of another Avenger in the distant halls and using your powers you immediately concealed the DVDs into a stack of school notebooks and a folder of overflowing miscellaneous papers as a facade. It wasnât unusual for you to use your gifts this way.
It was only five years prior during a mission in the Czech Republic that you were introduced to Peter Parker and while everyone had expected the two of you to get along as teens of the same age, no one knew just how close you and Peter really were. The rule had initially started at Stark Tower as a branch off of one of your fatherâs household rules: no dating superheroes. You thought he would be less strict as your life became centered around them, as did his, but you had no such luck. There was little chance Tony Stark would ever change the rules set for his little girl. So you were left to bend them instead.
While you and Peter seemed like close friends, you only started out as a platonic couple before your relationship escalated faster than either of you couldâve anticipated into something more fulfilling than you couldâve ever hoped for. Peter became your everything. Before you knew it, he was your rock. He was the first person you wanted to share a new dirty joke with or an unlocked childhood memory or even complain to when your father became too restricting. It was so much easier for the both of you to be together during high school. Being a college sophomore made your relationship much more complicated. Especially seeing as Peter stayed close to home at NYU and you left town to attend MIT (your father would never let you go anywhere else).
With campuses that were over a 4 hour drive away from each other, you and Peter only got the occasional three day weekend to spend with each other and that was only when you were able to evade spending time with your dad by making up an excuse as to why you couldnât come home and held your ground until you had to eventually cave to his demands. The only time you and Peter really got together was during holiday breaks when you two could both be at the campus and sneak around like smitten teenagers all over again. With only three weeks, you were determined not to waste a single second with so little time, even if it meant using your shapeshifting ability to disguise wizard school movies as chemistry homework. What could be suspicious about two close friends sharing notes about stoichiometry?
You felt your heart start back up as Natasha passed you in the hallway instead of your father, shooting you a smile.Â
âMorning, y/n.â she greeted pausing to look at your stack of folders with a look of confusion.
âUhh, good morning.â you croaked, praying that there wasnât some defect in your ability that allowed her to see a portion of the one of the movies you were disguising. Thankfully, your facade held.
âHomework? Really? This early on a saturday?â
You gulped as you nodded.
âYou know me,â you forced a smile. âIâm actually on my way to wake Peter up so we can review together.â
âGood for you,â she nodded, impressed. âBreakfast should be in a couple hours if you two want a break. Try not to get bored!â
âThanks?â You shrugged before continuing off to where you knew Peterâs room was, conveniently all the way on the other side of the building from your own. Soon enough you were at Peterâs door, turning the knob and entering without knocking, quick to shut it behind you to prevent anyone else from seeing how eager you were to âstudy.â Surrounded by the comfortable closed walls of privacy, you let your platonic friend disguise fall and set the stack of papers on the edge of Peterâs bed.
Your boyfriend was still tucked beneath the covers, as was expected. You two had made your marathon plans ages ago and after losing several rounds of rock paper scissors, Peterâs room was made the place of the marathon meaning it was your job to wake him up. Overall you thought it best as you were more natural at lying (literally as you were aided by shape shifting powers) and a little more strategic when it came to social interaction and plotting.
You neared the stirring boy, his sleep disrupted by the clatter of the discs and the movement of his bed as you sat down to kiss him.
âPeterrrâŚâ you whispered, hovering above him with an unshakable grin etched upon your face. âWake up.â
You awoke him by placing a soft kiss on his nose and smiling down on him as he furrowed his eyebrows in aversion. It wasnât until his eyes fluttered open that he grinned as he saw you and craned his head up to kiss you properly, his lips soft against yours, slipping a hand up from under the covers to cup your cheek.
âMorning.â he greeted, smiling affectionately as he sat up against the wall behind his pillow, pulling you into his lap so that he could kiss you once more. That was until he took a look at what you had brought, books and paper for studying. He cringed, pulling you closer and kicking up his covers in disgust.
âOo no. I refuse to study on a Saturday. Canât we save that for the last minute like every other time weâre together?â his lips turned into a sly grin as they neared yours once more.
You laughed as his complaint sparked many memories, most of you both tangled up together out of what started as procrastination, but ended up in unbridled desire that poured out after being built up each time you were away from one another for too long.
âNice try, Parker. And here I thought weâd have a nice time today. Donât you remember our plans?â
As you gesture to the folders and notebook on the edge of his bed they instantly shrunk back to their original form. All of a sudden, instead of the obnoxious red notes and blue folders filled with paperwork were the four DVDs with their easily recognizable covers that screamed nostalgia. Peterâs face lit up instantly, a mix of excitement and relief as his morning amnesia faded away. But even still, his seductive grin returned as he slid you further up his lap.
âWe canât start just a teeny bit later?â he teased, his fingers sending chills down your spine as they glided up the sides of your thighs. One of the downsides of how long you two had been together was that Peter knew exactly how to bend you to his will. âI think Iâd rather spend our first morning together a little differently.â
He leaned in for another kiss, but instead of meeting your lips in the middle, his mouth was met with your finger as you pulled away and sat next to him, placing a chaste kiss on his cheek before shuffling into his comforter. It was by luck that your Stark genes made you extraordinarily stubborn and resistant to his persistence.
âMaybe later. Right now I am seriously craving a Hogwarts escape,â you lightly pushed Peter towards the DVDs, hinting that he would have to be the one to pop it into the reader. You teased him as he left his bed, grinning wickedly. âBesides, Harryâs wand is way bigger than yours.â
Peterâs head whipped around as the previews started to roll on the flat screen TV behind him that could be found in every resident room on the campus.
âHey,â he pouted, though there was still enough of a smile left that you were sure he knew you were only kidding. He settled beside you, tucking an arm behind your head so you could rest on him as you normally did when you shared a room. âItâs hard to compete with 11 inches.â
After skipping through each advertisement for movies that had come out over a decade ago and finally selecting the play option on the movie menu, Peter planted a soft kiss on your forehead as the movie finally began and the familiar notes of the main theme played from the speakers.
âI think you should wake me up like this every morning.â he mumbled into your skin.
âI think that would be nice.â you agreed and nuzzled closer into him.
You two spent the entire first movie just like that, two nerds wrapped up in each other so close that you could hear each other's heartbeats, but so involved in the film that you didnât get distracted by the distant pulsing of them.
âI think I'd make a great chaser.â you confessed during Harryâs first quidditch game.
âNo, I think youâve got it all wrong,â Peter argued. âIâd make a great chaser. Youâd definitely be a beater. I mean legally hitting people off of flying brooms in a competitive wizard sport? If that isnât right up your alley, I donât know what is.â
âYouâre right.â you agreed right before Harry crash landed into the sand, the golden snitch popping out of his mouth.
It was after the first movie that you started feeling peckish and by the way Peter squirmed to change positions every few seconds, you could tell he was feeling the same. Two hours awake without any food was an abnormal event for you and as a result your stomach was growling loudly. As you had other needs to attend to, you excused yourself and offered to grab the two of you something from the kitchen to snack on during the rest of your marathon.
âIâll get it babe, you can stay in bed.â Peter offered, sitting up with you as you stood from his bed.
âThatâs alright,â you assured him, handing him the disc to the second movie and the sleek black remote that controlled the monitor. âIâve got to go to the bathroom so Iâll grab it on my way back.â
Peter laid back, his hands coming behind his head on the pillow as he eyed you on your way to the door. You smiled at him in confusion, wondering why he was admiring you so when all you were doing was fetching food.
âWhat?â you questioned, sliding on a sweatshirt over your pajamas.
âSometimes I canât believe weâre together,â he admitted. âYouâre way too good for me.â
You giggled at his honesty as you moved towards the door.
âAre you still trying to sleep with me?â you teased.
âNo,â he admitted, shaking his head adamantly. â...but Iâm not opposed to the idea.â
You rolled your eyes playfully as you turned to leave, chuckling to yourself.
âIâll be back soon. You can save the sweet talk for then.â
Though you couldnât see his face, you could picture Peterâs smile as you shut the door behind you and meandered to the bathroom closest to the Avengerâs kitchen before starting towards the food.
As promised, the breakfast feast awaiting you smelled gloriously of hot buttered pancakes, sweet maple syrup, and so many other wonderful items. You prepared a lie to explain Peterâs absence as you entered the kitchen and grabbed a plate, when suddenly, the voice of your dad sounded from behind you.
âAhh, y/n!â he startled you, causing you to drop your plate back on the stack of white porcelain where you had just barely plucked it from.
âHi dad,â you forced a smile, turning to face him. âWhatâs going on?â
âIâve been looking for you. Câmon, itâs family meeting time.â he stated casually. You realized then that the dining hall was eerily empty for a Saturday morning. The weekly buffet was normally packed with superheroes or at least a starving Thor. You furrowed your brows in confusion, never before having heard of any such meeting as you followed after your father.
âFamily meeting? What about breakfast?â
âIt can wait. Iâve got something we need to discuss.â you dad explained as he opened the tempered glass door to one of the many meeting rooms at the campus which was normally reserved for more professional causes.
âOkay. Iâll get Peter.âÂ
âNo time, come with me. Peterâs not invited to this one.â your father informed you as he grabbed your arm, pulling you with him inside of the meeting room where every chair was already filled by various heroes who also resided at the campus. You gave a small wave to those who cared to acknowledge your arrival and wandered to stand in a corner at the back of the room while your father took up the front. From what you could tell, everyone else was as confused as you were. You pulled out your phone just before it commenced, giving you enough time to shoot Peter a quick text explaining your prolonged absence.
 I might be awhile
Thatâs fine. Take your time.
You fought the urge to smile at your boyfriendâs message as you slipped your phone into your pocket and looked up to your father who was commanding everyoneâs attention.
âThank you for coming, everyone. Really, I appreciate it.â
You recognize a feminine scoff from the right of the table, Natasha shaking her head, a fearful gesture from your main combat trainer. It was a general rule around the Campus, along with donât introduce Steve Rodgers to ASMR: donât get Natasha Romanoff angry unless you want to be dead.
âCut the bullshit Tony. Weâre all too tired and hungry to be here for longer than necessary. Get to the point. Why are we here?â
Others voiced their agreement and Tony put his hands up.
âFine. I prepared a nice little welcome speech for you all, but I guess Iâll skip to my main point. Youâre welcome by the way.â
Natasha rolled her eyes.
âThe reason Iâve gathered you here today is to discuss a serious matter concerning one of our youngest recruits who Iâve purposefully made sure is not in attendance - â he stated as he pressed one of the buttons on the controller to the meeting room monitor, the picture popping up on the screen of a face that was all too familiar to you with tousled brown hair and chocolate eyes. â- Mr. Peter Parker.â
Your heart stopped as you heard your boyfriend's name roll off your fathers lips. From a lifetime of knowing him you were sure whatever he wanted to discuss couldnât be good. You tried your best to not look so shocked and managed to keep a neutral expression as you mirrored Bucky who did not care for the conversation whatsoever. In fact, his expression resembles that of someone who was desperate to deck someone.
âAh yes! The Man of Spiders!â Thor called out, quite possibly the only Avenger who seemed to be not in the least bit irritated.
âYep, thatâs the one. Hereâs the thing,â Tony began as you braced yourself. âIt has been two years since he graduated high school. That means heâs had two whole years of college life to get out there and make some new connections, to be a kid! But instead he comes home late every night and is always so exhausted. Heâs working way too hard. So I propose that we help our little spiderling find someone he can lean on and turn to. Someone who can really help him slow down and start to be himself. Itâs time we help Peter get a girlfriend.â
Your eyes shot open as his words hit you, you had to force your hands to stay down and try not to react too much. You looked around at the reactions of the others, searching for someone who may agree with you, but much to your disappointment, no one seemed as against it as you were. It seemed the topic of helping Peter made the annoyance of the meeting more tolerable and many Avengers were nodding their heads in agreement. Thor especially as he hollered in his seat in clear support.
âYes! Wonderful idea! A lady spider! Tis like those Midgardean movies that are so popular around this time of year! What do you call them? Wrong-Cons?â
Everyone looked around in confusion.
âThor is referring to the movie genre of romantic comedies or rom-coms.â Vision explained. With the confusion cleared others started agreeing more.
âYes, the boy needs a break,â Wanda concurred. âAnd I love a good rom-com.â
âHe works too hard.â nodded Nat.
Others started muttering to their neighbors how they also agreed as you shook your head in utter disbelief.
You pushed off from your place on the wall, quickly gathering the attention of the others as you joined your dad at the front.
âAre you guys crazy?â you laughed nervously. âPeter doesnât need a girlfriend! Yes, he can be hard on himself sometimes and I agree he needs a break, but that doesnât mean you should try and shove something in his life that he has never shown any liking towards.â you explain, trying your best to sound as unsuspecting as possible.Â
Here in the crowd of adults, you were only Peterâs best friend and you wished to keep them in the dark for as long as possible, especially considering your father forbid you from growing a closer connection to Peter.
To your surprise, another Avenger stood to back your point as the Winter Soldier himself took on the crowd.
âSheâs got a point, Tony.â Bucky agreed.
âYes! Thank you!â you smiled, gesturing at Bucky a little too excitedly.
âWe shouldnât force the boy into something if thereâs no confirmation of his own interest,â the Winter Soldier restated, earning a nod of encouragement from you. âThereâs probably a reason he hasnât gotten a girlfriend and I think we should leave him to discover himself if you know what I mean.â
âNo, no thatâs not what I meant,â at once you started refuting his claim. âPeterâs not gay, heâs just not interested in dating.â
âSo heâs asexual? Is that what itâs called nowadays?â Steve asked, his tiny notebook of modern definitions at the ready as he pulled a pen from the pocket of his flannel pajama bottoms. He too had only just woken up.
âNo. I mean yes that is a real and valid sexual identity and some people donât have a desire to be with someone romantically, but thatâs not Peter. Heâs interested, just not right now.â
âHow can we trust that the Tiny Stark knows what she says of the Man of Spiders?â Thor quirked a brow at your claims. You nearly blew up at him as he asked, glaring at the rest of the room on the edge of insanity from the thought of them shipping off your boyfriend to be with another.
âIâm his best friend, okay?! And I know him better than any of you so I know for a fact that he doesnât need a girlfriend right now!â
Your father grasped your shoulder gently, a weak attempt at calming you down.
âThat was exactly my next point. Youâre his best friend and youâre right. You know him way better than any of us.â your father agreed. You gave him a thankful smile, glad to finally have him on your side.
âThanks, dad-â
âThatâs exactly why youâll be out intel and our connection to Peter in âOperation Pair Parker.â That way he wonât suspect anything.â he interrupted with a proud expression.
You stared at him with wide eyes.
âYou already named it!? Youâre kidding right? You have to be kidding. You all know this is just unbelievably crazy right?â you asked the crowd.
âI donât see a reason why not. Itâll be good for the kid to have someone.â Natasha disagreed and by the disapproving looks from the others, you could tell her opinion was shared by the majority.
âExactly. See everyone gets it and we need you to carry it all out,â your father continued. âI already have a few people in mind that I can pair him with. The only reason to not to would be if you know something we donât. Peter isnât seeing anyone, right y/n?â your father eyed you, suspicious of your relentless attitude towards his thought out plan. You knew you couldnât own up to it, the risk of discovery was much too great, but that didnât mean there wasnât anything you could do to shut down Operation Pair Parker.
âWell, I didnât want to expose Peter since heâs only just barely told me-â you began, hardly believing the words were leaving your lips. â-but he has been seeing someone and I think itâs getting pretty serious.â
âOh really? And who is this girl?â your father interrogated.
âOr boy.â Bucky added.
âItâs a girl,â you clarified, hurrying to think of exactly you could pin Peterâs secret relationship on without creating too much damage. âHer name is um, MJ!â you exclaimed as the name came to you. It was perfect too as she was one of your best friends and someone Peter couldâve easily hypothetically gotten with ages ago.
âYou mean the overwhelmingly unenthusiastic girl that Peter has only ever talked about once?â You could tell by his raised eyebrow and narrowed eyes that Tony didnât believe you, but there was still time to convince him. And you would do anything to end this scheme.
âYep,â you gritted your teeth, letting out a fake laugh that you hoped sounded convincing enough. âThatâs the one, good old MJ. You know what they say, opposites attract.â
Tony wasnât fazed as the intensity of his suspecting expression lingered on.
âYou sure he isnât seeing someone heâs closer to? Youâre not dating him right?â he questioned, reminding you of the age old rule. Under no circumstance were you and Peter allowed to see each other. No matter how many battles you had fought together nor how many times he had protected you from harm. Not even if the world was on the brink of collapse. Never.
âYeah, youâre acting pretty suspicious.â Sam chimed in.
âIs something up, y/n?â wondered Nat.
You burst into nervous laughter as you thought of a plausible excuse and your web of lies deepened.
âOh, you guys are too good. Youâve got me! I have been seeing someone.â
âI knew it! Lady Stark is with the Man of Spiders!â Thor pointed accusingly towards you.
âYou did not know that.â argued Wanda as Thor had been the least suspecting of all the Avengers up until your false confession. It didnât help that he was also the most gullible.
âNo! No, no, not Peter,â you scoffed, choking out a laugh. âHis name is um⌠Flash!â
Your face burned red as you realized whoâs name had just slipped out of your mouth. Oh why hadnât you said Ned? At least you actually enjoyed spending time with Ned. But as your fatherâs face shifted and your lie began to work, you knew it was too late to go back now.
âFlash? You mean that boy whoâs been mean to you and Peter since you were kids?â your father knew exactly who he was through years of his name popping up in counseling sessions Tonty provided to help you figure out how to defend yourself in public without using your powers.
âYeah. Heâs actually really nice once you get to know him and weâve been together for a little while now.â you tried, changing your voice to match the same doting pitch it took on whenever you talked about Peter.
âHuh,â Tony pondered, but eventually shrugged the confession off as your lies snapped into place. He turned off Peterâs image on the monitor, leaving a blank black square in its place. âWell, in that case, the operation is off.â
âAlright, I guess that means I can goâŚâ you smiled, ready to sneak off to finally grab some breakfast and more hidden moments with your real boyfriend.
âAnd date night is on!â Tony cheered unexpectedly.
Your eyes widened as your stomach dropped in realization of what you had just done. You and Peter were really in trouble now and it was all because you couldnât admit the truth.
âDate night?â you repeated uneasily.
âTo celebrate my children finding love, I want you both to invite your sweethearts over and weâll have a big dinner so we can get to know them. Let Peter know he has to invite MJ.â specified your father which could only mean he expected you to invite Flash.
Oh shit. There was no getting out of it now.
âWhat a splendid idea.â deadpanned Vision who you couldâve sworn knew the truth about you and Peter as his room was next door. You almost glared at the android, but caught yourself.
âYep, sure thing,â you grimaced, knowing that your lies would soon catch up to you. âAnd when is this whole thing supposed to be?â you asked, hoping it would be after the break so you and Peter could retreat to your separate schools instead of owning up. By then, youâd probably be able to come up with two break up stories so heart wrenching that the Avengers would understand why you would never want to date again.
âLetâs do tomorrow if we can. The sooner the better.â Tony proclaimed, pulling out his device from his pocket so that he could put the dinner into the following dayâs agenda, scheduling it as a mandatory event.
You felt like you were gonna pass out.
âGreat! Iâll just go tell Peter then. Weâll be ready!â you fake laughed as you walked off, truly dying inside as the crushing weight of what you had just done hit you.
Once you were out of sight of the Avengers (all of which started voting on what theme your dinner would be), you completely spaced picking up something to eat and sprinted down the hallway to Peterâs room. You stumbled in when you arrived, closing the door behind you and leaning on it, gasping for air from the rush.
âHey baby,â Peter welcomed you back from his bed, lifting the remote to turn down the TV volume by a couple notches. âI hope you donât mind, I started the second one, but we can totally rewind if you wantâŚâ
Confused by your lack of a reply, Peter looked at you and immediately sat up in bed, ignoring the film with a worry riddled face. The remote fell from his grasp and into the twisted sheets of his bed, never to be found again.
âAre you okay?â
You shook your head as you caught your breath, sliding down the door until you collapsed on the floor.
âNo, Peter. Something terrible just happened and itâs all my fault.â you cried and curled to tuck your head into your lap. You werenât quite to the point of tears, but it was enough distress to alert your boyfriend.
Peter sprung off his bed with a start, swinging his legs to the edge so that he could fully face you, but he was apprehensive about approaching your sullen form.
âIs it your period? Is that why you took so long? I knew I should have come to check on youâŚâ
âNo, Iâm not on my period and I didnât spend all that time in the bathroom. This is so much worse than that.â you lifted your head to speak so the words didnât come out jumbled, but as soon as you had finished, your face returned to your lap.
Peter stood and neared you slowly, placing his hands on your forearms and squeezing you comfortingly as you lifted your head.
âIâm sure it canât be that bad,â he assured you. âWhat is it?â
You inhaled deeply before rushing out a summary of the events that had taken place only moments before.
âLong story short, my dad was trying to hook you up with someone because he thinks you're so sad and lonely lately so I tried to get him off your back and now he thinks that youâre dating MJ and Iâm dating Flash and we have to invite them to a big dinner with all the Avengers tomorrow.â you sputtered in one breath, gasping by the end.
âWHAT?!âÂ
âI KNOW!â
âHow are we supposed to do that? I mean maybe MJ would agree if she were even in town⌠maybe, but we canât invite Flash here!â
âI know!â
âWhy didnât you say Ned?!â
âI donât know! Thatâs not the point, Peter. What Iâm saying is that we need to come up with something fast.â
âI think we should just tell him.â Peter confessed, not one to share your disregard for the truth. Instead, he imagined a future where he could be more open with his teammates about the love you shared, maybe even rub it into Sam and Buckyâs faces as the three held a long standing rivalry since an opposing battle at a German airport. âBetter fess up now.â
âNO! Peter, my dad will KILL US if he finds out weâre together!â you shut down his suggestion, too afraid of the consequences to even contemplate telling the truth. âWeâve got to come up with something better, I canât let him win this.â
âUgh, you Starks and your stubbornness.â Peter groaned. While he was well informed of your fatherâs rule, he didnât understand why the two of you were so competitive, especially when it came to ethicality.
âI just wished there was a way we could pull it off without inviting either of them.â you pouted, staring off into the distance when the scene playing on the screen caught your eye.
The meeting had lasted so long that while you were gone, Peter had managed to watch up to Harry, Ron, and Hermioneâs secret potion escapades in the abandoned girlsâ bathroom.
âAdd the hairs.â directed Hermione as the golden trio sprinkled the strands into their separate goblets of green sludge, so young in only the second film in the saga.
âYou're right,â Peter sighed, his attention turning to the movie at the same time as you. âThings would be so much easier if we were wizards and could make Polyjuice Potion.â
Suddenly an idea popped into your head.
âPeter! Thatâs it! Youâre a genius.â you exclaimed, pulling away from his hold and running across the room to his closet, flipping excitedly through his collection of colored flannels.
âThanks,â Peter blushed, moving to sit on his bed once more. âWhy exactly am I a genius this time?â
Your smile widened as you came upon it, Peterâs darkest flannel that distantly resembled something your dear friend MJ would wear. You pulled it on and discarded the hanger, throwing it haphazardly to another corner of the room as you looked at your boyfriend. You beamed at him as if you had just won the lottery. For a skilled liar, stringing together a new fake story was almost as accomplishing.
âCan I borrow this?â you asked.
âOf course,â Peter obliged. âYou know how I feel about you wearing my clothes. Can I just ask why this in particular?â
âWe canât ask MJ or Flash to attend themselves so weâll just have to become them instead!â
âWhat do you mean?â Peter asked.
You closed your eyes and concentrated, picturing MJ in your mind and spreading your arms out from your body as the familiar tingling sensation started and your body began to change from the will of your shape shifting powers. Before long, you began to resemble the quiet girl from your school. Your hair grew longer and curled into her familiar pattern as your jawline sharpened and your limbs lengthened until the girl standing in front of Peter was no longer his girlfriend, but the one and only Michelle Jones.
You opened your eyes that now resembled her dark brown ones and smiled at him, something MJ would never do. Peterâs own face lit up as he realized what you meant.
âThatâs even better than Polyjuice Potion!â he grinned, watching you nod as you looked yourself top to bottom, satisfied with the extent of your abilities.
âI think we can make this work.â you stated, moving towards Peter who was gazing at you with admiration.
âYou just need to master her facial expressions. MJ would never smile that much.â
You closed your eyes again and took a deep breath as you let your smile fade away to capture MJâs unwavering neutrality.
âThatâs perfect.â Peter complimented once you had mastered it. You chuckled out of pride as your usual smile carved back onto your face along with an affectionate look as you glanced at Peter. You leaned into him, lips at the ready to peck his perfect pretty face until you were stopped by his outstretched hands.
âWhat?â you questioned, unused to being denied by your boyfriend.
âAs much as I would love to kiss you right now, you still look like one of our best friends.â Peter explained with reddened cheeks.
âOh right.â
Quickly, you shook off your disguised form and shifted back into yourself. Wrapping your arms around his neck, you kissed Peter and allowed him to pull you in closer by your waist, his hand sneaking up to meet the skin under his flannel. It seemed at last he would get to have his own rendition of a perfect first morning with you.
After a few moments, he lifted away from your lips with a heavy breath to ask, âDoes this mean I have to be Flash?â
You sent him a guilty smile.
âSorry babe, but weâve gotta do what weâve gotta do.â
part two out now!

Never Giving You Up Again
~ gif not mine credit goes to owner ~
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x fem!Reader
Summary: Reader is in an abusive relationship and calls Bucky (the man shes in love with) when something bad happens
Word Count: 1,436
Warnings: Angst. Domestic Abuse NOT BUCKY. Donât read if it makes you uncomfortable. And the endings really bad â Iâm sorry.
Masterlist
Staring at herself in the mirror Y/N didnât recognise the person staring back. The blackish purplish bruise on her cheek was too dark and big to cover up, the open cut on her eyebrow stung ever so slightly. No matter how much it pained her seeing her own reflection, she simply couldnât pull her eyes away.
It started four months in to their relationship, it was just a smack across the face which he apologised profusely for and the next day she had woken up to flowers and more apologies. A few months or so later the smacking turned to punches, punches turned to kicking, kicking turned to having objects thrown at her. At first there was a âreasonâ for the abuse she suffered, but now all she had to do was breathe in his direction and she would be on the receiving end of his rage.
He controlled every aspect of her life especially her food intake, she was so skinny now because of him. The reason for the most recent beating was because the woman he was interested in refused his advances, and because of that Y/N was black and blue with cuts littering her very slim frame.
During the meal she had prepared for him she sat in her usual spot - the floor - whilst he ate and spoke about his shift at work, she paid no attention until âwe arrested the prick, he beat his wife up! He beat his pregnant wife up and had the audacity to tell us it was her fault! Y/N he blamed her that prick!â It was ironic that he was calling another abuser a prick but when he did the exact same thing to her, it was out of love.
Later on that night he was getting mad at the football game that was on, his team was losing and she knew she was going to be punished.
After the game had ended the only sounds that filled the apartment was the muffled cries and pleading and the sounds of his fists plummeting down on her timid body. Bless his poor little heart, his fists started to hurt but his anger was still at full force, so he made his way to the bedroom to grab his âfavouriteâ belt. On his was he kicked her in her chest.
She knew, she knew that if she didnât get away she was not going to survive and with his finding the belt she managed to drag her frail body into the kitchen, surprising herself with the strength she had left of pulling her body up against the counter to grab the knife. She was going to end it all.
His footsteps echoed loudly in the now quiet apartment, he stops and stares at her with nothing but fire in his eyes. âWhatcha gonna do with the knife bunny? Huh? Gonna stab yourself? You wish bitch! Iâm the one that gets to kill you!â And then he lunged himself at her. Letting out a scream with her eyes closed she felt warm liquid on her dominant hand, slowly opening her eyes she sees him gasping for breath, his eyes darting back and forth between her eyes and her hand, where the knife was wedged in his stomach. Itâs felt like forever with them both looking at the knife until she finally pushed him backwards. They both fell to the ground at the same time.
Y/N couldnât take her eyes from him even long after his chest stopped rising and falling. Before she knew it the sun had made an appearance, decorating the destroyed space in a warm orange, rosy hue. The pain throbbing her entire body faded rather quickly and was replaced with panic. She murdered her boyfriend, albeit he was abusive but mutrdered him nonetheless.Â
Pulling up her weaken form of the ground she took fearful steps to where she knew her phone was, picking it up with shaking hands she dialled the only number she knew off by heart.
âHello⌠Y/N? You there doll?â
âH-hi I know we hav-havenât spoken in a while but B-Bucky I need your helpâ
âWhere are you doll?â
âMy um my apartmentâ
âIâm on my way okay, donât worryâ
Not even 5 minutes later there was a knock at the door which made her jump, when she gathered what little strength she had left, she opened the door. Standing in the hallway was the only man she was ever in love with, the first person to ever break her heart - not that he meant to - the man who she hadnât seen nor spoken to in two and a half years. Bucky.
Oh and the rest of the avengers was standing behind him.
His face dropped and paled at the sight before him - the only woman he was ever in love with, the first person to break his heart, the woman he hasnât seen nor spoken to in two and a half years. But this woman wasnât necessarily the same woman who captured his heart the second he laid eyes on her. No, no this was a woman covered in blood, bruises and cuts. Whose eyes held so much pain and terror.Â
Stumbling a little bit and refusing to pull his eyes away from her âbaby wh-what happenedâ
âI-I-I-I ki-killed him Bucky didnât mean to I swear just wa-wanted him to sto-pâ Her whole body shuck whilst stuttering, trying to get the words out without spluttering was extremely difficult for her to do with the tears pouring out and a hiccup here and there.
âBreathe doll! Baby calm down itâs okay Iâm here, donât worryâ
At her confession Tony and Steve pushed everyone into the once cosy apartment, they all saw the chaos, blood and finally the body of the man they all hated. Bucky gently took Y/N hand in his and made his way to the bedroom with the team trailing behind, he sat her down on the bed and knelt in front of her. Once she had finished telling them what she had been through the past few years and what she had done to him in the early hours, there wasnât one single dry eye. The anger radiating off the team was justifiable.
Steve made Bucky and Wanda take Y/N back to the tower and get Dr Cho to take care of her wounds, whilst the teams stayed to clean up the mess.
It was late in the afternoon her body laid in the hospital that seemed way too big for her, she slept peacefully. Bucky had refused to leave her side and held her hand, every now and again he would place kisses to her knuckles. When she awoke her nonbiological family was dotted around the room. He was the first one to noticed she had woken up, he cooed her back to sleep with the promise that everything was okay, that no matter what he wasnât leaving her ever again.
For once in two and a half years she was finally free and safe with the man she loves.
Itâs been a year since that dreadful night. The cuts and bruises had long faded, the nightmares came in waves. No charges were pressed against her, but she did have to go to therapy which obviously she was grateful for. Tony refused to let her go back to the apartment, giving her her own room in the tower, even gave her a job. The whole team did their part in her recovery in anyway they could. Bucky refused to leave her side for weeks, always on guard even when he didnât need to.
âI let you down Y/n I should of protected youâ
âdonât be silly Buck, it was my own faultâ
âNo it wasnât! donât think that please babyâ
âWell stop blaming yourself thenâ
It took a while for both of them to realise that what had happened was neither of their faults.
Falling asleep in Buckys arms she hears him whispering âI love you, I promise you Iâm never going to give you up againâ
âI love you too and Iâm holding you to that promise Buckoâ

MARVEL MASTERLIST LADY MAY UNIVERSE
The sun had just finished setting, the dark sky staring back at him as he stood in front of the kitchen window.Â
Bucky Barnes wiped his flesh hand on his jeans before reaching up to readjust the phone wedged between his cheek and shoulder before it could fall. His other remained submerged in the soapy dishwater, metal fingers clutching the wine glass more delicately than his past self ever thought he could as he secured the device. âNo, Steveâif you need me, I can come back.âÂ
The blonde man shot him down immediately, insisting that it would only be a waste. Bucky sighed deeply and quietly, knowing his friend was as stubborn as they came.. âAlright, punk; if you say so.âÂ
Truth be told, he did not want to go back just yet. As tired as heâd gotten over the years, the fight most likely wouldnât ever leave James Buchanan Barnesâ life and that was just something he was going to have to accept. But when heâs here, in the tiny town in the middle of nowhere that was his very slice of paradise, there was no fighting. Only hard work and long days, warm evenings and calm nights, and loud laughter and dinners shared between two.Â
The life that Y/N L/N had given him was not one he had predicted, but one he would never take for granted. It wasâŚall he could possibly want. If the world were to end tomorrow, he would spend his last moments with his lips on hers.Â
A tail hitting against his calf was what caught his attention and momentarily pulled him away from the conversation, glancing down at the plump dog stood next to him. Her eyes were trained on the doorway of the kitchen and the brunette knew exactly what sheâd picked up on, a grin growing on his face as the last dish was dried and put away.Â
âSteve, I gotta go, Y/N/N just got homeâŚokay, okayâIâll tell her,â he chuckled as his metal hand swiped a rag over the counter quickly.
âTell who what?â A voice piped up from behind him and the cloth was soon abandoned as he whirled around. There she was, standing in the doorway dressed for work and looking like itâd been a long day of it, while still radiating the kind of beauty he swore heâd never get tired of.
Buckyâs grin grew into a smile impossibly fast for a man who used to be a shell, a weapon, but that wasnât unusual for him these days. âAh, speak of the devil and she shall appear,â he remarked, and was met with an eye roll from his love and a laugh from his friend, before pulling the phone away from his ear.Â
With one click, Steve Rogers was put on speaker phone and thrown under the bus. âStevie says you owe him a dinner from when he kicked your ass in beer pong.âÂ
âI did not say that!âÂ
Y/Nâs laugh echoed around the kitchen and filled Buckyâs chest with joy. âOh, well quit your complaining and get your ass down here then!â She called out as she made her way to the fridge, boots thumping against the floor. âAnd last I recall, there was no ass kicking. You barely beat me, Rogers.âÂ
Steve and Y/N got along great, and it had become obvious to Bucky very quickly that they acted just like siblings. Their dynamic mimicked that of an older brother and younger sister, and if they didnât look so different itâd be hard to tell they werenât related. If they were, Bucky knew sheâd give Steve a run for his money.Â
âIâm all booked up for the next few weeks unfortunately,â the captainâs voice filtered through the speaker, âbut I wouldnât be opposed to a visit after I clear everything up.âÂ
âOh,â Bucky drawled out as he leaned against the counter, arms and ankles crossed in the very name of ease, âI bet you wouldnât. Grandmaâs cookingâs pretty good, right?âÂ
Another laugh was accompanied by the popping of a beer bottleâs cap coming off and the clinging sound of it hitting the floor. âYouâre damn right!â Leaning down to pick up the trash, Y/N continued to speak to Steve but the mechanic had already gained tunnel vision.Â
His eyes were on her everywhere she went, observing the way her lips formed the words but not really hearing what they were, the way her eyes flitted over to him every few minutes because she was just as obsessed with him as he was her.Â
The life that Y/N L/N had given him was not one he predicted, but one he would rather die than take for granted. It was his greatest gift.
The sound of his name broke his concentration and he was brought back to the present, tuning in to the conversation to hear Steve saying his goodbyes, throwing a âtalk to ya later, Buck!â at the end before he hung up. The phone was forgotten, remaining in the same spot with a black screen as the family of two now focused solely on one another. Y/N walked to the sink, beginning to wash her hands as she looked at the man before her with a semi serious face. âI sure am glad Steve let you have a break even with this long mission. I was starting to go a little crazy,â she chuckled.Â
âIâll always find a way back to you, lover girl,â he replied smoothly with that crooked grin as one hand reached out to swipe a thumb across her cheek, wiping off the smudge of dirt left over from her day at work. She beamed at him and he couldnât help himself, couldnât stop himself from pulling her in for a kiss; a kiss that conveyed how much heâd missed her, how long heâd waited for her, and just how much he loved her.Â
When they broke apart she laughed ever so softly, eyes a little out of focus as she recovered from the display of affection. âYou gonna let me set the table, Barnes?âÂ
âI suppose I could,â he feigned reluctance, waiting until the very last second to release his hold on her face, hands slowly pulling away from her face where they were gently resting.Â
âThank you for making dinner, by the way,â she threw over shoulder as she made her way into the next room with the plates and silverware stacked in her hands, and he followed her with the trays of food he had prepared for them.Â
âOf course, doll,â he assured, knowing that if not for her he wouldnât be able to make this meal nor would he have the motivation to learn how to. This domesticity, the routine of home life, was utter bliss.Â
The life that Bucky Barnes had gained was not one he ever thought was possible for him, but it was one he would never let go of. It was all he needed, all he wanted, all heâd dreamt of.Â

Hopelessly Devoted (Bucky Barnes x Reader)
Words: 3.7K
Warnings/Themes: Domestic Life, Domestic Fluff, Talk of marriage, Talk of having kids, Marriage Proposal
Characters/Pairings: Bucky x Reader, Dr. Raynor
âHow are things going with Y/N?â
He stared at the wall behind the woman. Canât really say âolder woman,â seeing as how he is practically twice her age. But she does look older, he thought to himself. And she likes to nag like his grandmother did.
âFine. Things are fine.â Heâd do anything to be out of this room and with Y/N instead. Heâd rather be with her than do anything else, in fact. Thatâs how âfineâ things are going.
âAnd you two are still doing your own exercises at home?â She questioned him again, her passive-aggressive notebook still sitting on the table next to her. If he were being honest, the exercises he and Y/N did at home helped him far better than sitting in this room with this old crone.
âYeah.â
âAnd how are those going?â Question after question. Y/N didnât need to ask so many questions. She just knew. Granted, her ability to slip into othersâ minds helped. Bucky hesitated before giving an answer. If he answered at all the Doc would see that as cooperation and he didnât feel like doing that. If he lied, she would see through it. But if he told the truth⌠She would probably see it as progress, and he might be able to quit these court-mandated sessions soon. Truth it is.
âI didnât have a nightmare last night,â he offered, not quite meeting her eyes, looking at the middle of her forehead. Her eyebrows rose.
âGood. Thatâs very good.â She paused to observe him; her gaze was cold and calculating compared to the one at home. The one that holds his gaze with so much love and understanding that it makes his chest feel like it was splintering.
âWhat did you dream about?â She asked.
âThatâs kinda personal, Doc.â He hoped the lilt he forced into his voice would satisfy her, trying to imply it was some intimate dream about him and his girlfriend. In a way, it had been.
âThis is therapy; itâs supposed to be personal.â She gave him a flat look. Darn. Bucky rubbed his palms on his jeans and looked out the window. He should have just lied.
âJames, what did you dream about?â She asked again, her tone slightly softer. âDid you hurt her? In your dream?â She read his anxiousness wrong. Y/N wouldnât have; even without her powers.
âI said I didnât have a nightmare.â It would have been the worst nightmare he could possibly have. He couldnât even bare to think of hurting her. Luckily, he has not had a dream of hurting her. Not after she had laid his ass flat multiple times with just a brush of her powers over his mind. Not after she shoved the soldier back into the basement of his mind when they first met in Berlin.
âSo, it was a good one?â
âI didnât say that.â No, but it had been. It was everything he had dreamed of. He and Y/N, married. A nice house with a white picket fence. The laughter of their kids in the backyard with their dog. And the two of them slow dancing in the kitchen, flour in her hair from baking. The sunlight was soft as it filtered through the lace curtains.
It was everything he had thought heâd have when he had come home from the War. But he never did.
And now that he was getting a taste of it⌠He didnât feel like he deserved it.
A tone filled the room, some musical piece to indicate their session was over. It pulled him from reliving his dream. Saved by the bell.
âWell, weâll pick up here next week, then.â She uncrossed her legs and grabbed her notebook, writing a few notes. He wasted no time to shoot off the couch and make his way to the door, barely mumbling a farewell to the Doc.
âBut James,â she called as his metal hand wrapped around the door handle. He paused but didnât look back at her. She sighed. âYou do deserve whatever you dreamt about.â How she knew what kind of dream it had been was beyond him, but her words had his chest constricting.
âBye, Doc.â He left the room.
Bucky returned to the Compound around lunchtime; he knew she would be in their shared apartment with food waiting. She always ordered the best comfort food on the days he had to see Dr. Raynor. Sushi.
Her singing reached his ears before he opened the door; the sweet sound sent his heart soaring. He smiled as he silently walked to the kitchen and leaned against the doorframe. She had yet to notice him, with her headphones in and her focus on the dough in front of her.
She was an absolute vision. Her hair was up in a messy bun, secured by a floral pattern scrunchie. She wore one of his white t-shirts that hugged her in all the right places, paired with floral pajama shorts. Simple white socks covered her usually frigid toes.
And she was singing like an angel. A song he hadnât heard yet, though that was not a surprise. But man, did he sure love hearing her sing.
âMy head is saying, âFool, forget him.â My heart is saying, âDonât let go, hold on to the end,' thatâs what I intend to do. Iâm hopelessly devoted to you.â She swayed as she rolled up her dough, completely lost in her song.
He let her finish her song before coming up behind her, just as she was placing her unbaked cinnamon rolls in the pan to proof. She smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder.
âI was wondering when youâd come and give me a hug. You were standing over there staring at me like a creeper.â She chuckled, twisting in his hold after placing a tea towel over her pan. She removed her headphones and placed them and her phone on the counter.
âSorry, I was enjoying the view too much.â He returned her smile before pressing a kiss to her lips. She grinned into the kiss, threading her floury hands into the short hair at the base of his neck. When they parted, their eyes locked, and he rested his forehead against hers. Their eyes glazed as he allowed her into his head.
It was something they both agreed on. After every session with Dr. Raynor, Bucky would report everything that had happened during the session, including the things he thought about but didnât say out loud. They both knew it would be easier for him to open up about certain things with her over his shrink, so the issue was never pushed on him to be more open with the Doc.
âHm⌠I have to say I agree with her parting statement,â Y/N remarked as she pulled away. âBut first, letâs eat. I could feel how hungry you are.â
Bucky forced a smile and helped her set out the sushi she had kept in the fridge until he got home. She had ordered a lot more than she normally did. Probably because of his dream last night. He didnât show her his dream. Rather, his emotions were so high during the dream that she somehow got sucked into his mind and was living it with him. They had a small talk about it that morning before his appointment.
They ate in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying the food and each otherâs company. This is why he preferred his exercises with Y/N over his sessions with Dr. Raynor. Y/N never pushed him to talk. Never used a notebook as a weapon to get him to talk. She was patient and warm and kind. She understood that adjusting to this new life of his was hard; especially after everything he has done.
Forced to do. He reminded himself. It was one exercise Y/N had him practicing. Just rewording his thoughts. He didnât have to believe it, not yet, but he just had to say it to himself. Eventually, heâd find himself believing it, she had said. She said it with such conviction that he couldnât help but believe her. Because thatâs how she got herself out of her dark place.
âWhat was that song you were singing?â He asked after they had eaten their fill and were cleaning up. She nearly dropped the dish in her hand as she whipped her head around to look at him. You would have thought he had slapped her with the look of pure shock and offense on her face.
âExcuse me? What song-? What?â She sputtered and shook her head in disbelief. He gave an incredulous laugh at her behavior.
âIs it really that much of a surprise that I donât know it?â
âYes!â She answered quickly. âIt absolutely is, seeing as how weâve known and been together for literal years, now. I canât believe weâve never watched Grease!â
She didnât give him time to question anymore as she snatched the plate from his hands and carelessly tossed it into the sink and began pushing him to the bedroom.
âDishes can wait! You get your old ass into some comfy clothes while I set up the classroom, because youâre gonna learn just how great of a movie Grease is, and you are going to like it.â Her tone left no room for arguments as she gave him one last push into the bedroom before disappearing into the living room.
He chuckled but did as he was told and slipped into some gray sweatpants that Y/N had once told him were obscene, and a cozy black hoodie. He took an extra moment to grab the large, fluffy blanket from their bed so they could cuddle under it.
When he entered the living room the movie was already pulled up on Prime Video and she was nowhere to be seen. The smell and sound of popcorn cooking gave away her position in the kitchen, along with her singing.
He grinned and tossed the blanket onto the couch before sneaking into the kitchen. She had just pulled the bag out of the microwave and was putting it in the large bowl, two sodas already on the counter. Defenses down. Shot clear. She set the bowl down and reached for the candy in the cabinet. Taking the shot.
Swooping low, Bucky knocked her legs out with his arm under her knees, the other wrapping around her back and lifting her into the air. A shriek of surprise turned into laughter, and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his face to hers. She gave him a loud, sloppy kiss.
âShould we get this show on the road?â He asked when they parted. She nodded and grabbed the bowl and candy and sodas, holding them in her lap as it seemed he wasnât putting her down until they got to the living room.
He deposited her on the couch and sat next to her, pulling her legs onto his lap, and tossing the large blanket over them. She pressed play and nuzzled into his side. Bucky wrapped his arms tighter around her, kissing her temple.
As they watched, Bucky would ask questions or make comments on the characters. Y/N was happy to see him so engaged and genuinely enjoying the movie. Over the years, she would watch movies with him, trying to catch him up on pop culture. His favorites so far had been the original trilogy of Star Wars.
âDanny is a bit of a tool,â Bucky said out of nowhere. They had been sitting in silence during the prom scene and had finally reached the drive-in scene. Y/N left out a barking laugh at the sudden declaration.
âYou know, he definitely is!â
><
By the time the movie ended, it was mid-afternoon, and Y/N was yawning. It was her usual nap time. Her work for Tony Stark and the Avengers usually had her sleeping at random times, just as inconsistent as Buckyâs sleeping schedule, mostly because part of her job was to help Bucky.
âHowâd you like the movie?â She asked, stretching out her legs before standing from the couch.
âDefinitely in the top ten.â Buckyâs eyes raked up her stretching form, the shorts, the way his shirt hugged her curves, and her messy bun at the top of her head. It all had him feeling like the luckiest man in the universe.
âOnly the top ten? Why? And in what place?â She stood in front of him with her hands on her hips and a slight pout on her lips. This was definitely in the top five for her.
âDonât get me wrong, the movie was great, and I loved it. But Iâd probably place it at number six.â Okay, sixth place wasnât that bad, just one movie away from being top five.
âOkay, so the top three I know is the Star Wars trilogy, and fourth place is the first Hobbit⌠But what is fifth place? Whatâs better than Grease?â She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. Bucky laughed awkwardly and looked away, a blush on his cheeks.
âNothingâŚâ He had seen this movie a couple of times and he loved it. The characters, the music, and the plot, it was all great. But it seemed⌠a little embarrassing for him to like it. He was still very old-fashioned and the style of dancing and clothing in this movie had him a little flustered.
âOh, come on! What movie?â Y/N stepped forward until she stood between his legs and then bent over him, caging his head with her arms resting on the couch behind him. He turned his face to the side, not wanting to look into those inviting eyes.
She could just look into his mind with her abilities, but that would be an invasion of privacy and when she gained these powers, she vowed to never look into someone elseâs mind without consent. Because consent is sexy.
âYou canât laugh.â He mumbled, still not making eye contact with his girlfriend. She rolled her eyes but smiled anyway.
âIâd never laugh at you, dear.â A blatant lie, they both knew.
âLiar.â Bucky reached up to pinch her side. She squealed and her knees buckled, allowing him to pull her onto his lap. âJust this morning you laughed at me because I asked where that kidâs parents were.â
Y/N let out another laugh as she recalled Buckyâs reaction this morning to a TikTok she had been watching. Some pre-teen girl was cursing about something wrong in her life and Bucky happened to catch the colorful language as he passed by.
Y/N definitely agreed with him, but coming from the 106-year-old soldier, it just sounded like the most grandpa response he could have come up with.
âOh, but it was the cutest thing!â She snuggled into him, pressing her face into his bearded cheek. He let out a hmph and tried to turn his face away again. But her hands came up to hold him in place and she littered kisses all over his face. âPlease, Buck? I wonât laugh.â
Bucky knew if he looked at her, heâd see those big puppy eyes and he would immediately crack. But her hands running over his chest and neck were having the same effect anyway. He tossed his head back against the back of the couch with a groan. She grinned, knowing she got him.
âFine.â He hesitated for a moment, chewing on the inside of his lip. âItâs⌠diâŚcing..â
She tilted her head in confusion, âCome again?â
âDirty Dancing! Okay? I like Dirty Dancing.â
Y/N had to press her lips into a tight line to stop the laugh that was bubbling up due to his outburst. She wasnât laughing at his choice of movie, but just the way he said it. His face was bright red, and he was glaring up at the ceiling.
âAwww, Buck! Thatâs so cute!â She squealed and smothered him in kisses. He groaned and stood up, dropping her to the couch as she laughed.
âYou lair! You said you wouldnât laugh!â He made to stomp away but she rolled off the couch to the floor and grabbed his ankle.
âIâm not laughing at your choice of movie, I promise! I love that movie, too, Buck!â
âNope, too late. Release me, you leech.â He began shuffling his way to their bedroom. She wrapped her arms around his ankle and forced him to drag her.
âNever!â She cried in defiance and reached up with one hand to tickle the back of his knee. He buckled and hit the ground. She could feel his panic as he began to army crawl away. She cackled evilly as she grabbed the back of his hoodie and dragged herself forward to straddle his back.
âNo! Please! Lemme go- HA!â She had begun her assault on his sides. His scream-laughing had her chest filling with light and joy. It wasnât so long ago that he never even smiled. So, to hear him let loose in such a way made her feel like the luckiest woman in the universe. To be able to have him like this. To love him like this. She wouldnât trade it for the world.
Her fingers slowed until they rested along his scapulas. He turned his head to stare at her from the corner of one blue eye. His brows were drawn suspiciously. However, the soft smile on her face had his face relaxing into an easy smile. She leaned down and pressed a warm kiss to his stubbled cheek.
âI love you, Bucky,â She whispered in his ear before standing up. He was quick to his feet and even quicker to pull her into his arms. His lips sealed over hers in a chaste kiss.
âI love you more, Dollface.â He said in between peppering kisses over her face. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning into his affections.
They both lived for days like this. It was a battle getting here, but it was well worth it. The calm that enveloped their cozy apartment, the warmth that filled everyone who entered. The quiet as they lay in bed, and the ruckus of them teasing each other. This was Buckyâs entire world. Right here. In her arms.
They had calmed down and were simply holding each other, both lost in thought of their love for the other. She gently stroked her fingers down the back of his head, letting her nails scrape against his scalp. She could feel the goosebumps rising under her other hand.
He was giving her the same treatment with his arms wrapped around her waist, his right hand tracing up and down her spine. He was so warm against her. She sighed contently against his skin, dropping a kiss to the space his shoulder met his neck. He hummed in happiness.
Oh yeah, he was going to make the dream he had last night come true. The second she fell asleep for her nap he was going to look up rings. And maybe a house. And at the shelter for a dog, or maybe a cat. Hell, he should look at baby cribs while heâs at it.
âWhat are you thinking about so hard, Bucky? I can smell smoke,â she teased. He grumbled and nipped her neck.
âRude. And here I was thinking about how good you would look in a wedding dress.â He released her and tried to pull away. âBut nevermind.â
âWait! What?â She tightened her arms around him, preventing him from going anywhere, not like he truly planned to anyway. He was far too happy in her embrace to be out of it for long anyway. âYou were thinking of me in a wedding dress? Is it because of your dream last night?â
Bucky stepped closer to her again, his hands on her hips stroking circles with his thumbs. âWell, yeah. Last night was the first time I dreamed of us being married⌠But itâs not the first time I thought about it.â
Hope and unadulterated joy filled her chest. Not a day went by since she confessed to him last year that she didnât think of what it would be like to be called, Mrs. Barnes.
âCome here!â She pulled away from him and grabbed his hand, dragging him into their room. He had whiplash. One second he was saying he wanted to marry her and the next she was dragging him through their home.
In the bedroom, she went to the desk and pulled a notebook from the drawer. It was the one she kept with her during briefings and other meetings.
âDo you remember a few months ago when we were in a meeting and you asked what I was doodling?â She held the book to her chest nervously. Her feet were pressed together, fidgeting. He nodded slowly. He wasnât entirely sure where she was going with this.
âOkay, well, I wasnât really doodling⌠I was writing this.â She opened the notebook to a page in the middle and handed it over to him. He took it with shaking hands as hope and anticipation flooded his senses.
Mrs. Barnes <3
It was written over and over again on the page. Some with her first name. Some with her first and middle. She even looked to be practicing different signatures with Barnes as her last name.
âIâm sorry⌠itâs kinda weird, Iâm just now realizing⌠We can forget it-â
He silenced her with a soul-searing kiss. He was never forgetting this. She wanted to marry him just as much as he wanted to marry her. Her hands dropped the notebook to instead grip his hoodie and pull him in closer.
When they pulled away their faces had matching love-drunk grins.
âI donât have a ring and I donât want to let you go to kneel, but will you, Y/N L/N, do me the very high honor of marrying me?â Buckyâs blue eyes peered into her own, bright and hopeful. She giggled and pulled him into a tight hug, her arms now around his neck and her lips against his ear.
âOf course, I will.â

Summary: whilst on a mission, you and Bucky get caught in the cold. Your body doesnât handle the temperature well, being youâre not a supersoldier. Your state brings back memories of Buckyâs life before Hydra, making him fear for your health.
Warnings: language, hypothermia, crying, mentions of death, fluff
Word Count: 1,551
Prompt: Delirium | Hypothermia | Stabilisation
A/N: Day 4 of June of Doom by @juneofdoom
Bucky never showed his emotions. He was a closed book, and he intended to keep it that way. But that all shattered to pieces one fateful mission.
You and Bucky had been assigned to take down an abandoned Hydra base in Russia. Bucky had wanted to go alone, but Steve insisted that he went with a partner. That partner just so happened to be you, the girl that Bucky admired from afar.
You were strong, intelligent, and beautiful. He admired you for that and all the good you had done. You were better than him in every single way.
Finding and destroying the base was an easy matter. It was abandoned, therefore, there were no surprise attacks. It was the perfect mission. No injuries, no deaths, and most importantly to Bucky, not even a hair on your head was harmed.
Things only went downhill from there.
The getaway vehicle you had parked in the forest refused to start again. It didnât matter what Bucky did, the vehicle refused to start up. On top of that, it was freezing in the vehicle. Almost as cold as it was outside, without the wind, of course.
If your shivering was anything to go by, Bucky knew you both couldnât stay there. On his GPS, the safe house wasnât far away. The supersoldier could make it on foot no problem. He just wasnât so sure about you.
Internally, his thoughts were running rampant. On the outside, he looked as calm and collected as usual.
âWe shouldnât stay here. Do you think you can walk to the safe house?â
You bit your lip. âSure.â
Bucky didnât trust the tone of your voice whatsoever, but he didnât let it show. He had to get you to warmth before he lost you.
You both exited the useless vehicle, and trudged your way towards the cabin.
It didnât take long for your hands to start shaking, and your steps to begin faltering. You had to stay strong, though. You couldnât face the embarrassment of failure in front of a teammate that you swore hated your guts.
The feeling in your face as well as your feet had long since vanished. Your fingers hadnât had feeling since you reached the vehicle. These were not good signs, but you resigned to deal with it since the cabin was coming into your view.
Bucky noticed you lagging behind before you did. His heart raced, wanting to pick you up and bolt to the cabin where he could get you warm. He knew, however, that you would not like that notion. Youâd probably smite him if he dared lay a finger on you. You liked your space, hating when people invaded it. Because although you were kind, you too had boundaries. Physical touch just happened to be yours.
It wasnât until you tripped and fell into the snow that he decided, âscrew thatâ and picked you up from the ground. You were trembling so hard, as cold as ice and it fucking scared him.
You let out a small noise of protest as he gathered you in his arms and began to run to the cabin. You could do it yourself. You just needed a little rest, thatâs all.
Bucky slammed the door to the cabin open and slammed it shut before running to set you on the ground. He took off your soaked jacket and boots. You gently pushed him away, not really able to put any force behind it. âI can do it myself,â you muttered indignantly.
Whilst Bucky usually loved your sense of independence, it only served to frustrate him. He pouted with his signature grumpy face, arms crossed and all. He watched you peel off your drenched socks. Your fingers were still trembling.
He just wanted to help. You turned to go to one of the rooms, hoping to find a new pair of pants that werenât wet.
You overestimated your ability to walk. Tripping over nothing probably had to be the most embarrassing thing you had ever done in front of Barnes. He didnât hesitate to catch you. In Buckyâs arms you wanted nothing more than to melt into a puddle of shame.
Bucky muttered something to himself as he carried you to the nearest room. He set you on the ottoman in front of the bed before going to ruffle through the closet. He found some clothes for you to wear.
He turned around to give them to you, so you could change yourself. When he saw you falling asleep, he dashed to your side. You couldnât fall asleep on him now. âCâmon, wake up,â he muttered, not a trace of worry evident in either his tone or on his face. He was determined to keep calm in front of you. Freaking out would do no good.
You blearily opened your eyes. It was so cold. Why were you so cold? You were in the warmth now. You should be fine.
âIâm gonna change your clothes now, okay? Is that alright?â Bucky asked. He didnât want to do anything without your consent, but if worse came to worse, he would have to. He just needed to stabilise you before things got any worse. You just groaned in response. Cursing under his breath, Bucky dutifully peeled off your pants and dressed you in the sweats he had found. He left your shirt on, since it wasnât affected by the snow. He didnât want to do anything more. Not without your consent.
In your state of delirium, you barely noticed that he had picked you up and carried you to bed. You barely noticed the way he took care to wrap you in multiple blankets.
When you woke up, you were incredibly warm. You were also practically trapped in a cocoon of blankets. Groaning, you unwrapped yourself from the layers upon layers of blankets.
You tiptoed your way into the hallway. Looking around, you didnât see Barnes anywhere.
You furrowed your brows when you heard a muffled sound coming from the bedroom down the hall.
You creeped to the door and pressed your ear against it. You could hear ragged breaths and choked sobs coming from behind the door. It had to be Bucky. No one else would be out here. However, youâd never seen him cry. He always was so strong given what heâd been through. He was resilient. So what could have prompted his tears? Did he have a nightmare? You knew from Steve that he was struggling with them. Your hand hesitated at the door handle. How you longed to go in there and comfort him, to wrap him in your arms and tell him he was safe now. But you knew he was a private person. He hated it when people saw him vulnerable, and you didnât blame him.
All it took to break your hesitance was a sob.
Bucky had a hard time keeping everything in. He didnât mean to let it out, but god he couldnât help it. Seeing you look so pale and weak, your ice cold skin and shivering body⌠it reminded him of Steve. Little Steve back when they were kids. He thought Steve was going to die that cold January night. Bucky had stayed with him the whole night, praying to anyone that would listen to not take away his best friend.
It was like history was repeating itself and just the thought of you dying tore him to shreds. Now, Bucky didnât believe in any god, not after all he went through with Hydra, but you bet your ass he had prayed. He didnât get too far before his emotions caught up with him, hitting him head on like a bus.
That led him to the moment where you burst through the door. Your concerned features swept Buckyâs distraught figure. He was in the corner of the room, curled up into a ball. He didnât even notice you, too busy trying to get air into his lungs.
Your heart tore at the sight of him so broken. You gently moved up beside him and kneeled just a few feet away. âBucky?â
His red, watery eyes looked up at you like you were a ghost. Those eyes widened as he scrambled to make himself look like less of a mess. He sniffled back his tears and ran his hands over his eyes. Red creeped onto the tips of his ears and the back of his neck, completely ashamed you were seeing him like this.
His body froze when you wordlessly wrapped your arms around his body. He wanted to cry all over again. He couldnât remember the last time someone had held him as if he were something precious. It took him a few seconds before he returned the gesture, hesitant to touch you. He could hurt you⌠or what if this was all just a figment of his imagination. Bucky didnât want your tender hold to disappear.
You both stayed wrapped in each otherâs arms for the rest of the night. Not a word needed to be said between you both. In your silence was a mutual agreement. An agreement that no one had to know about Buckyâs meltdown. An agreement that you wouldnât ask questions. An agreement that this is what both of you needed. Some comfort.

Request: Sam Wilson x younger, platonic! reader
Plot: Reader relaxing around Samâs place in Louisiana-Bucky can be in it, readerâs relationship with him would be platonic or familial.
Louisiana Sun
steve, sam, bucky x platonic!daughter!reader, generous nods (i practically wrote a whole confession) to sarahbucky
things; dad!steve rogers moments, over protective steve, reader makes some risky decisions, bucky and same are basically your uncles, bucky is in love with sarah and louisiana by extension,Â
w/c; 4k (reader had to do a lot of convincing to let steve believe she wont get kidnapped in the presence of two soldiers)
Youâve never felt love like you did in Louisiana.Â
The sun baked grass, the humid winds kissing your shoulder. The vibrancy of colour and life that explodes on the streets, and in the caring waves of neighbours.Â
You taste home whenever Steve drives you up to Samâs rickety gate, slamming the car door open to his objection and running through the winding bend of grass and willow trees. You can't wait for Steve to pull into Samâs drive way, the bleached wooden porch calls to you in a way you canât ignore.
So you find it exceptionally painful whenever Steve is swarmed with so much work he canât make the drive up. And there was no way Steve would even let you take a plane ride by yourself, he says itâs cause heâd be too afraid but you think itâs because you help with the dishes.
Itâs Friday evening at the Rogers, a night of pizza and Noir crime films you both adore. Itâs spring break, and you've spent every waking hour with Steve cooped up at home. You don't mind it, it has made up for a lot of the father daughter time missed between missions. But god you canât come back to school and say you spend the holidays with Captain America again.
âSo..Sam calledâ You murmur, fainting nonchalance whilst you watch his every expression out of the corner of your eye. Gene Tirneyâs whiskey voice blares from the TV screen in front of you.
âUhm?â Steve replies with his mouth full.
âYeah, he was wondering when Iâd come down again to see âem. Buckyâs spending some time there too, helping out with the boat and Sarahâ You reply, stretching your arms out in front of you.
âAnd what did you sayâ Steve replies after wiping away the smudges of sauce from his chin, eyes widening
âI said Iâll have to check with Corporal Rogers firstâ You tease
âHey, Iâm not anywhere near..â
âDad we havenât left this house in weeks, Iâm not going to go another week locked in hereâ You reply
âI let you go places..remember Monday?â
âWhen you asked me to buy your cream of mushroom from the Bodega?!â You shriek, eyes boggling.
âYes..?â Steve replies unsure, eyebrows furrowing
âThat was a chore. For your own benefit by the way, I mean who in their right mind likes cream of mushroom?â You reply
âAy, Iâm not going to let you disrespect my taste in food for the second time todayâ Steve replies
âOh please, I barely said anything about your choice of onions as a pizza topping-
âMy pizza topping?? I was reconsidering dinner when you wanted pineapples. Fruit should not belong on pizza, there are rules. When I was your age we had-â
âTo boil everything or else weâd get tetanus and dieâ You moan, rolling your eyesÂ
âNo..when I was your age I don't think pineapples even made it to New York yetâ Steve murmurs, hand on his chin as if to truly consider it.
âAre you sure you're my father?â You reply, and are met with a soft cushion flying towards you.
âWorkâs just been a lot lately kid. And I miss you too darn much to let you leave my sight. You know how I am, I see kids go missinâ everyday. Donât know what Iâd do if that happened to you cause I was recklessâ
âYou aren't getting sick of my face?â
âNeverâ
âYouâre not being reckless Dad, Iâm going to be with Sam for gods sake, and Bucky too! In Louisiana of all places! They probably mug you with bugnes as pistolsâ You giggle
âDonât joke about that"
âOh come on! You both were on a team for like eighty years, you don't trust them?â
âOf course I trust them, theyâre your designated âif i get in a freak accident they take overâ people.
âHey! Donât joke about thatâ You quip
âI just like knowing you're nearâ Steve replies after chuckling
âI could just stay for a weekend! Iâll be back before you know it. Swearâ You plead.
âYou say that now..â Steve cocks his eyebrows, part of him knew you'd stay six months there if you could
You put on your best heartbroken pouted face whilst Steve goes through the motions of being finally convinced. His eyebrows furrow, his hand coming up to scratch at his golden locs as he considers it.
His shoulders slump, and before he can even say a gruntled âFine..â Youâre cheering, getting up to twirl around the lamp lit living room. Steve chuckles at your antics, eyes glinting with light at the sight of you jumping in happiness.
He knew heâd say yes in the end. You're his little girl, he canât ever say no to you.
âWhilst you're up, switch out Laura for somethinâ else. We still got a checklist to get throughâ
âIsnât it getting close to your bed time, senior citizen?â You giggle, reaching for the box of recorded movie tapes under the bookshelf dresser.
âAge ain't going to stop me from showing you what good cinema isâ Steve barks, reaching for his glass of water gingerly.
Youâre half through the Maltese Falcon, Sam Spade flickering his cigarette in flashes of black and white when Steve's phone rings.
He groans loudly, lying on his back with his legs stretched and laying on the coffee table with the bitten edges of pizza crust left over. The couch buzzes beneath your weight, somewhere deep within the crevices near spare change and ink pens it vibrates.
âYou gonna get that old man?â You turn to Steve, mouth filled with cheesy saucy bread
âEasy now Rogers, and finish your mouthfulâÂ
You roll your eyes as Steve searches under the blanket stretched across you both, a sound of triumph leaves his throat when he grasps the metallic slick edges.
âRogersâ Steve grunts into the phone
âAh FuryâŚMhmm..didnât they have Clint on that?..Right..â
You raise your eyebrows at the conversation between Steve and Fury, Steve pinches the bridge of his nose as he plops his head back against the head of the couch.
âFor three weeks? Fury, you know I got Y/N to take care of. Itâs why I transferred out of the field, it isnât âcause I like readingâ Steve murmurs, eyes cutting to you
Your eyebrows widen at that, mouthing to âpass the phoneâ to Steve who shakes his head at you. Growing impatient, and longing to see Sam, Bucky and Sarah you make a mental note to blame them for the scolding of a century as you reach and swipe the phone from Steve's lazy grip.
âYeah, I donât know Fury- HEYâ
âThis is Steve Rogers manager speaking, yes he can and will be there for the missionâ
âY/Nâ Fury replies, his voice lit with a hint of humour at your antics.
You wrestle to escape Steve's reflexes, luckily you're a teenage girl who wants something so you're obviously faster. You throw the same pillow Steve had thrown at you before in his face, running behind the couch with the phone tucked between your ear and shoulder, poking your tongue out at Steve.
âHey Fury! Howâs the wife and kidsâ You remark
âWho told you about my wife and kidsâ
âOh Fury, think those confidential documents are safe from a certain Spider?â
âGoddamit Parker..â Fury mutters
You doge a flying pillow headed your way, Steveâs face growing red with frustration at you missing every hit. Super soldier my ass.
âWhereâll Steve be stationed?â
âPrague-wait, arenât you twelve? I hate to say it but the soldiers right, you canât just be left alone-â
âOne word Fury. Louisiana, Beignets and a birdâ
âThatâs three wordsâ
âYeah well I ain't twelve but I didnât correct you on that did I?â
âIâm an old man, Y/Nâ Fury replies gruffly
âIâm pretty sure you were in the hospital hallway at my birth..â You murmured
âHow did you-?!â Fury replies
You're too busy skipping zig zag across the living room to escape the pieces of pizza, cushions and cd covers flying your way to hear him. You heard it once that it helps dodge bullets, and with the horsepower behind your own fathers arm, you think it matches.
âMakes sense anyways, there isn't a Wilson and Barnes without a Rogers nearby. You guys are like goddamn pack membersâ Fury replies âLet Steve know to be packed and ready by Sundayâ
âBye Furyâ You giggle, swiping the red button before throwing the phone immediately at Steve who lunges for it.
Running to hide behind the first thing you see, you peek out from the forked leaves of a potted plant to see a very angry and very dishevelled Steve.
âIs now a good time to say I got a 90 on my science quiz?â You reply with a gulp
Youâre smart enough not to run out the car seat the second Samâs house comes into view, despite the itchiness festering in your bones driving though Louisiana and not being able to finally set your feet down onto it.
Steve called Sam the next morning, and you had already packed a suitcase of clothes and necessities a few days prior. You always felt healed after every road trip, and tuning out blues and Leon Bridges whilst driving through the country felt like a respite in itself.
As Steve pulls into the dirt drive way, you see Sam perches on the deck waving towards you both. You squeeze your hands into fists until he switches the ignition off, and then you are too. The car door springs open and you're rushing into Samâs arms, giggling as he twirls you around till you're dizzy and sick.
âYouâre Father has been keeping you from usâ Sam says, shooting an accusatory dagger towards Steve who has begun to unload your belongings.
âHello to you too Samâ Steve shouts from behind the open boot with a gruff voice.Â
Buckyâs booming voice makes its appearance before he does, rounding the corner of the back yard wiping grease off his hands onto a dirty old rag.
âIf it isnât Miss Rogers! Took ya long enoughâ He replies, pulling you into a tight protective hug whilst Steve sets your duffel bags on the porch edge.
Sam turns to Steve, pulling him into a hug as well, his hand slapping his back with a loud umph.
âShame you couldnât stay over here as wellâ Sam says
âFury. Clint needs some help down in NovĂŠ MÄstoâ Steve says tiredly after embracing Bucky.
âWhen Duty callsâ You replyÂ
âSteve answersâ Bucky and Sam say in unison.
âIt wasnât me this timeâ Steve points at you accusingly âThe drive up here made me start regretting it enough. Lay off will yaâ
âIt was okay? Weâve been getting some Black bear sightings along Wood Lakeâ Sam replies
âWe were all right. At least I wonât have a nagging buzz in my ear the drive backâ Steve teases,
âHey!â You reply, playfully pushing his shoulder.
âDonât worry Y/N, Youâre ours now. You no longer have to face that tyrantâ Bucky chirps, pulling his hair back into a bun.
âAnd this tyrantâ Steve shifts, looking down at his watch âneeds to start heading backâÂ
âAlready? Canât stay for lunch, Sarahâs making her seafood boilâ Sam replies
Steve audibly groans, rocking on the balls of his feet as he shakes his head at the thought of missing out on Sarah Wilson's Louisiana renowned seafood.
âShe is? Oh my god that better not be a lie Samâ You reply. Sarahâs cooking was like no other, youâve been begging her to hurry up and make the next best selling cookbook.
âYup, she's got me on shucking dutyâ Bucky says, feigning exasperation that held very thinly over the clear adoration Bucky had whenever he talked about Sarah.
You look towards Steve, and he raises his eyebrows as you both communicate silently. Bucky was head over heels in love with Sarah Wilson, it was getting annoying seeing them do this dance.
âAlright, time for goodbyes Kiddoâ Steve replies after stifling the smirk that tugs at his mouth whilst he watches Bucky crane his neck at the sound of Sarah coming through the door.
âSteve Grant Rogers, you better not have thought of leaving without giving me a proper helloâ Sarah calls, her dark coils pulled into a high bun that has begun to uncurl and frame her face.
âTsk, Sarah. Of course I wouldn't leave before seeing the better Wilson.
âYou got that rightâ Sarah chuckles, pulling Steve into a hug. Sam grumbles profanities under his breath as he rolls his eyes.
âWhere are the boys?âÂ
âStaying with a friend, did ya'll know something about this âhoverboardâ mess that's going around?â Sarah questions, exhaustion clear in her tone from dealing with two children wanting something.
âCould probably call Tony and heâd just make one for youâ Steve replies with a chuckle at Sarahâs tone.
âGreat idea soldier. Knew you were gonna leave early so I packed you a little somethinâ for the roadâ Sarah smirks, passing the tote bag on her shoulder that even you could smell had something decadent wrapped in careful parchment.
âSarah Wilson, the woman you areâ Steve replies, grasping the bag gingerly with a sigh as he peers into the wrapped dish.
âYa can say that againâ Bucky mutters softly under his breath, his hand coming up to scratch at the nape of his neck as Sarah shifts her gaze to him.
âOkay, Iâll admit it Iâm gonna miss you oldieâ You say, rocking n your feet as the feeling of separation begins to settle.
âCom âere kidâÂ
You quickly run into the open arms of Steve, blinking back tears as you lean your head on his broad shoulder. Rocking back and forth in his embrace Steve caresses your back tenderly.
âIâll be back before you know it. We might even stay a bit longer when I do come backâ Steve whispers in your ear.
You lift your head âReally? You mean that?â You whisper, as you meet his gaze, searching for any sign of a lie.
âWhen have I ever lied?â
âWell there was that one time you said you weren't scared of spiders..â You reply before Steve quickly cuts you off
âOkay that's enoughâ
You giggle, before Steve squeezes you in his arms. Shaking his head as you both part and he sets you back down.
âNever gets easier saying goodbye'' Steve replies, before moving to embrace Sam and Bucky, and placing a chaste kiss on Sarah's cheek before turning back to you.
âNow, call me before bed and in the morning, okay?â Steve replies, his tone morphing into an authoritarian lilt.
âYep, and I'll text you some photos and videos throughoutâ You reply sweetly, as Steve nods along with unblinking eyes.
âWhat are you doingâ
âIâm just taking a mental note of how you look exactly as I left you, and I will notice any piercings, hair changes and god forbid tattoos-â
âOkay, okay, just take a photo while youâre at itâ
Steve shuffles on his feet, moving the back to his shoulder as he pulls out his phone
âOh you arenât actually-â You say, before the flash of Steve's camera cuts you off midway.
âAlright, I think Iâm good to goâ Steve replies, before nodding your playful punch on his shoulder.
You walk Steve to the car, hugging him goodbye again before Sam and Bucky exchange some information about something confidential, top secret, and definitely one you shouldn't listen in on.
But you do.Â
And itâs boring anyway.
The kitchen is bustling by mid afternoon, shells of craw fish and prawns scattered on the table counter and the dirty water of shelled oysters flowing down the edge of the grassy front lawn.Â
The smells of cajun seasoning and buttered corn leaves you asking Sarah when it's done every five minutes till sheâs banishing you from the kitchen and sending you off with a lemonade.
You move through the littered toys and figurines AJ and Cass had left in their clear hurry to spend the night at a friend's and push the screen door open with your hip. Careful to not spill your drink, you take a seat on one of the rocking chairs on the porch with a sigh.
The sounds of the nearby pier docked with ships and fisherman makes its way even down the rocky dirt roads of Samâs place, easy against the chirps and rustles of shrikes up above the oak and willow trees around the house.Â
You don't come to Louisiana to escape noise, life is all around you when you pay attention to it. New York is always awake, even at night- especially at night. Louisiana has a kind of hum thatâs different, it feeds your soul.
Curling your feet underneath you, the screen door opens with a wack as Bucky stumbles onto the porch. The moisture of the beer drips down his fingers as he sits down on the adjacent chair to you.
âSarah kick you out too?â You reply with a giggle as Bucky grumbles under his breath.
âI was just askinâ if we need to make this much food for four people..â Bucky replies, shaking his head with regret as he rests it on the back of the chair.
âOoh rookie move misterâ You reply teasingly, before Bucky cuts his eyes to you
âOh and asking the equivalent of âare we there yetâ is any betterâ Bucky banters, taking a swing of his beer before immediately grimacing.
âHowâs you get Steve to agree to leave you for three weeksâ Bucky starts, bringing his feet up to rest against the porch wooden fence.
âOh I didnât, Fury called and I just snatched the phone and told him heâd be thereâ You replied
âAnd youâre still breathing?!â Bucky replies incredulously
âIâm shocked by myself. But what about you?â
âMe? What about me?â Bucky replies with an eyebrow raised
âAre you staying in Louisiana indefinitely? Makes it a lot easier to convince Dad to move down here tooâ You continue
âI..I don't know. Maybe. Helping Sam out with the boat and everything has been good. Really good in fact. The people here aren't afraid of me..or thisâ Bucky points to the vibranium compartments of his arm.
âI wasnât, I knew they wouldn't be tooâ You muse, smiling as Bucky looks up at you.
âThanks kid. Finally starting to feel normal again, part of the community now I suppose. Itâs weird, even back in Brooklyn i never felt so..a part of something beforeâ
âCanât just up and leave âem like I wouldâve before. Especially when Sam needs my helpâ
âAnd Sarahâ You add, hiding the smile behind a nonchalant nod.
âYeah..Sarahâ Bucky adds, his eyes glazing over as he leans back, eyes shifting to the towering tree leaves that cover half the sky.
You watch him carefully, seeing the way his leg jitters a little at the mere mention of Sarah, how so in love he is with her and you canât help yourself anymore.
âYou love her, don't you?â You murmur, as Bucky quickly swings his head to look at you.
âHmp?â
âSarah?â You inquire, raising your eyebrows with a smirk.
âI see the way you look at her, the way you both look at each other, and Iâm here practically every summer break. Which is neverâ
Buckyâs face morphs from shock to realisation, sitting upright as he scratches at his dark overgrown hair.
âYou think she looks at me? I mean, in that way?â Bucky asks after a pregnant pause, his voice quiet and filled with anxious shyness. He canât even look at you, looking out into the rounding hills of the roads and houses ahead.
âI know she does. Let it be the teenage girl who can tell who is acting like two love sick high schoolersâ You grin, as Buckyâs eyes twinkle, unable to hide the adoration and love about to burst through.
âOr let that Chef who came down from Chicago swept her off her feet..what was his name again?â You tease, wiggling your eyebrows as you take a sip of your melting lemonade.
âEasy now, Rogersâ Bucky replies with a bark, jaw clenching at the thought of Sarah being with anyone else.
âFoods ready!â Sam calls out from the kitchen window and Bucky helps you up from your seat, tipping out the last of his drink onto the stepped on grass before you both make your way back inside.
The thick book raised high above your face does little to block out the midday sun, youâre lying on the dock, the wooden planks warm underneath your shirt as the ends of your hair dip into the lakeâs surface.
Itâs a quiet hidden sort of mystical place, off the side of Sarahâs house where practically nobody but the Wilson's and by extension now you and Bucky now know about. Sarah divulged memories of spending new years here with the boys and their father years before, how it seemed likes their own little getaway.
The yellowed pages of Buckyâs first edition Hobbit flick between your fingers as you fly through the adventures of Bilbo and the fantastical realm of Erebor. You notice AJ and Cassâs squeals and laughter suddenly silent, and for the first time since you had laid down you sit upright looking across the grassy field.
The boyâs frisbee you had lost many games to earlier is dashed to the side, and as you wipe lazy exhaustion from your eyes to see Sam pull out a notebook and pen on the rug. Dusting off the dirt from the dock, you make your way through the grassy foxgloved trail towards him.
âWhere did everyone go?â You question, throwing the book onto the soft cushioned floor.
âBucky and Sarah had to take the boys home, AJ somehow ended up hurting himself on grass. And before you ask no I donât know howâÂ
You giggle before plopping down on some cushions, stretching your arms out with a groan.
Itâs easy to talk to Sam. About school, about New York, about life, everything.The unrelenting sun helps ease the discomfort of certain things sure, but Sam has always been your person.
âWhatcha doing?â You ask, looking at Sam scribble some things into the paper
âI like to write sometimes. Not for anyone else, just for myself. Can be about how Iâm feeling some days, people I remember, hell even some poetryâ
âI tried the whole journal taking thing, the counselor at school said it might be good since I don't have a âconventional family dynamicâ. Psycho babble for, everyone you know and love have fought aliens in space and have the capability to take down a government.Â
âI mean, there was that one time the Quinjet dropped you off at schoolâ Sam chuckled
âThat was one time! And that was because Tony hates trafficâ You add, shaking your head at the embarrassment of disembarking from a 30 feet aircraft that works as a spaceship.
âBut it must be hard, ya know? Having to share your dad with the rest of the worldâ.
âHm? Sarahâs boys share you with them tooâ
âYeah, but you know it's different. Parents are meant to be plain, theyâre meant to live through us. Imprint all their expectations and dreams onto usâ
âWell, maybe you should start seeinâ things at what they âcouldâ be, instead of what they're meant to be. Sure, I don't have the kind of Dad that comes from the office at 5pm and has days off. But I get..this. You and Bucky, Sarah and a damn Asgardian King as my family. My Dad spent his whole life fighting, showed me what having immovable morals and good character makes of you. Wouldnât trade it for the world, makes you feel a lot safer when there's an inbuilt super hero team on speed dial tooâ
âDamn you Rogers and your century wisdom. You spent a couple decades in the ice too?â
âHaha, don't group me with that icicle.Â
Birds chirp and warm wind tussles the grass you lay on.
âOh Louisiana"
âNothing like it ey?â
âIn the entire world. Get now why Steve never allowed me to stay longer than a weekâ
âWhyâs that?â âCause I'd never leave. I'd probably force him to retire and build a house with his bare hands across the road from youâ.
Sam chuckles.
The sound of footsteps makes its way from the trail, and Bucky appears rounding the corner, his vibranium arm glinting in the sun.
âDo I hear the familiar crinkling of Guidryâs?â You shout out excitedly as Bucky raises the familiar peach coloured paper bag in the air
âEasy with the goods, Barnesâ Sam calls out, before Bucky plops down next to you, ripping open the pastry bag to unveil the perfectly powdered beignets still warm.
âTold Elijah you had come down for a visit and he gave a little extraâ Bucky says, before reaching for one of the pastries dusted in snow.
âYeahâŚSteve was rightâ You reply, after groaning at the sweet and airy taste of the most perfect fluffy pastry you have ever tasted
âBout what?â Sam and Bucky both say in unison mouths filled and faces covered in powdered sugar
âIâm never gonna leaveâ You giggle, wiping the sugar from your chin.
The sun makes its disembark down the coastline, as tunes of Etta Jones, Rockettes and Hozier murmur from Samâs faded blue speaker. You fill your stomach on sugary beignets and sweet tea, leaving sticky fingerprints on card faces through hour long games of Euchre through the afternoon light.

(Thunderbolts) I feel like it would be really funny. There's a x reader where Bucky had a wife, and she just walks in during one of their meetings, holding their kids and like "where the hell were you? All I need a frozen pizza and some diaper wipes."
And alexie teaches one of the kids their first word but it's not mama or dada. It's Gin.
Bucky is pulled away quickly for a mission, leaving you holding the babies...and worrying about your husband.
Warnings: 18+ for language, domestic fluff, Thunderbolts!Bucky before the film, Dad!Bucky, reader likes pineapple on her pizza, I feel this is something I need to warn for. I don't really write kids in fics normally and I've never written Alexi before soâŚplease be kind! Rated F for fluff and K for kids.
A/N: thank you so much for this request! Not going to lie I'm nervous writing anything about Thunderbolts before it's out but Thunderbolts!Bucky does live rent free in my head. It's not exactly as you requested but I hope you still enjoy it anyway!

Masterlist | Bucky Barnes
Being married to Bucky Barnes was everything you'd dreamed about since the first time he'd strolled into your boutique and nervously asked if you had any gifts suitable for ex-assassins with limited wardrobes.
After a few hours searching for items he'd bought a new jacket for himself, black leather of course, and a smaller woman's jacket. Your heart had sunk, of course there was a woman already in his life. Tall, handsome, a rakish mop of hair flopping into his piercing blue eyes, she was a lucky lady.
Bucky had looked at you, those blue eyes looking straight into your soul, "it's for my sister, sort of, well, she's not my real sister, but she's like a - it's not for âŚI don't have a girlfriend."
"Oh, good." And then you kicked yourself for sounding so stupid. Bucky had given you the widest smile and written his number on a scrap of paper.
"Call me." He'd winked.
It was becoming harder to appreciate your luck when you were covered in bath water, probably the only shower you were likely to get unless Grant went to sleep quickly.
Bucky had been called out to an emergency meeting on his way to the store and as much as you loved his dedication and hard work you really, really, needed him to come home with the groceries.
You were running low on literally everything and you knew eventually you'd have to do a full shop, but now just the essentials would do. You couldn't have a repeat of lunch, hunting down some crackers, cheese and cucumbers sticks.
Distracted for a moment, Grant lined his rubber ducks up on the edge of the tub, splashing them in one by one.
"Look Mama!" He said, gleefully, "'dis one is Daddy!" He took the duck, left wing coloured in black, and made it dive into the heap of bubbles surrounding him.
"Well done, Sweetie!" You cooed, turning away quickly to hide a yawn and checking your phone.
Get your ass home or I'm ordering the pizza in instead
From the nice place
Get me some fries?
No
and I'm getting pineapple
Doll cmon now youre being cruel
It wasn't unusual for Bucky to keep his work secret, but he would normally be able to say when he was coming home. Perhaps it was really important.
Grant had just gone to sleep when the doorbell rang and you cringed, setting your pineapple heavy pizza down on the coffee table and pausing your movie.
There was a familiar silhouette in the frosted glass -
"Alexi, is everything okay?" The door swang wide open before you could even reach it. It had definitely been locked, but it was hard to keep any of the team out for long.
"Padruga! I am returning the small one." A very familiar mop of hair popped over Alexi's shoulder, face covered in cookie crumbs. For all that Grant was like you, Natalia was all Bucky, soft curls and sparkling blue eyes.
"Mommy!" She jumped from Alexi, landing heavily in your arms, "we went to Dairy Queen and I had two ice creams and one of those ice creams was vanilla and the other was choca-chol-choco-brown-extreme-blizzard-extreme."
You turned a cold eye on Alexi, "I thought we said park, dinner, home?"
"Ah how can I resist to spoiling the daughter of the Winter Soldier, if she wants extreme blizzard milk drinks I cannot say no." He shrugged, an indulgent smile peaking out of his beared.
"God," you rubbed a hand over your face. "She'll never sleep - Petal, can you go and get your pjs on please, I'll come up and help you do your teeth."
Natalia climbed the stairs quickly, sounding more like a herd of elephants than a four year old.
"Do you know what's going on with Bucky? I expected him home by now."
Alexi looked concerned, but didn't immediately start a tirade about the strength of the Winter Solider, so you felt reassured it couldn't be too serious.
"He is discussing planning with Wilson and his comrades. I have advised against it but he trusts the Captain and so we do too."
"We?"
"Yelena has been very helpful and is talking to the rest of the team. We will have a plan soon."
"So you're heading out for something?"
"Yes. I am sorry."
"Fuck."
"In Russian you can say, yebat, Mommy." Natalia's little voice floated over from the hallway and you cringed. Everytime she came back from spending time with Alexi or Yelena she seemed to have learnt a new Russian word, which wouldn't bother you, except they were almost always curse words.
"I'm all for her being bilingual, but could you maybe teach her how to say her favourite colour or something." You grouched.
"Sorry."
Alexi took a slice of pizza and left the address of the current discussions on a scrap of paper stuck to the fridge before vanishing in to the night again with the promise that you could "call anytime."
It had been two days since Bucky left on his bike to, "have a quick chat with the team, baby, don't worry, I'll swing by the store on the way home." And you were starting to move from slightly annoyed to a see-saw of furious and anxious.
He'd text a few times to let you know they hadn't left yet but the situation was complex, he'd be home very briefly before they left, just to see you and the kids, but other than that he was holed away for the foreseeable.
One week after Bucky left and you were truly stir crazy. There was only so many times you could have the same conversation with the other parents at the park before you lost your mind.
You really didn't care if Timmy or Charlie or whoever had cut their first tooth. All you cared about was what your husband was doing somewhere, anywhere, and when he'd be home safe in your arms.
It was 2am when the call came in, he was home, safe and unharmed, at the abandoned airstrip twenty miles past the town border. Yelena and Alexi were with him, also safe.
Grant was a heavy, floppy, weight in your arms as you buckled him into his car seat. But Natalia was wide awake and excited, clutching her bear to her chest and staring at the street lights in awe.
"I can't wait to see Daddy," she sighed, snuggling the top of the bear's head. You made sure to put his cologne on it, every day, while she was out at kindergarten, the same way you sprayed his pillow. So you'd both have a memory. Grant's blankie was the same and, still asleep, he pressed his chubby cheek into the cotton.
"I can't wait either, Petal, we'll be there soon."
You drove through the night, the darkness closing in around your car, streetlamps dwindling and stars appearing as you made it out of the town and towards the airstrip. There was a single plane looking almost abandoned, its tail at an angle, on the landing strip. But there was the faint glow of artificial light under the door of a metal supply shed beyond it.
You slowed the car, expecting there to be someone at the gate to the airstrip before remembering it had been closed a few years previously and there would be no one to care. It must have been a rough mission, to come back like this rather than through a real airport. It was normally Sam who let you know about his return and you could collect him from the big airport in the city or he'd appear in the night from some taxi or hire car.
You double checked to make sure the doors were locked on the car, the children dozing in the back. Grant was drooling on his blankie and Natalia, despite her assertion that she would "definitely certainly mostly stay awake until Daddy, Mommy" was bumping her head on the side of her car seat every time her eyes closed.
You stopped the car opposite the shed and flashed your lights, ready to drive off if they didn't flash back.
It went dark, then light, darkâŚlight and the door opened. You put the handbrake on and jumped from the car, leaving the door flung open in your haste, and raced towards Bucky.
He dropped his duffle bag and swung you into his arms, latching around your waist and lifting you easily. His lips were chapped and there was the tang of blood when you pulled away from a cut on his upper lip. You cupped his face in your hands and inspected him as best you could in just the headlights.
"You're okay." You sighed, breathing him in, burying your face in his neck and squeezing your legs around his waist.
"I'm alright Doll, don't worry about me. Are you okay?" His voice was rough with sleep, his cheeks chapped with cold and he smelt faintly of fire which was disconcerting. But he was here, safe, holding you close.
"Glad you're back, baby." You smiled, kissing him again. It was amazing, even after all these years, ever though he'd been on a hundred missions. It still gave you butterflies every time he came back, not just that he returned at all, but that he came back to you.
Behind you came the sound of little fists banging on the windows.
"Daddy!" Natalia shouted and Bucky carried you, giggling, back to the car.
With practiced ease he unbuckled both children and held them close.
"My little monsters, have you been good for Mommy?"
"Yes!"
"No!" Grant giggled.
"Sounds about right." Bucky looked over Natalia's head and smiled again, soft and slow.
"I'm glad you're back." You repeated, "but if you ever take two weeks to 'pop to the store' again we're over." You wagged your finger teasingly.
"Don't worry, I got everything we needed." Bucky carried the children back to his duffle, shuffling them around so he could lumber back with everything in his arms. "Look in there."
You unzipped the bag and inside - a pack of wipes, a bottle of laundry soap and two frozen pizzas.

why is no one talking abt the fact BUCKY WASHES HIS ARM IN THE WASHING MSCHINE
Nonnie, I can assure you that people are talking about it! I love the range from "It's so domestic!" to "Shuri would kick his ass for putting that vibranium in a dishwasher!" Part of the domesticity I love is him in the wife lover (he would NEVER call it a beater, okay?) looking well fed. And I just... *le sigh*
I love to imagine that he's happy and healthy and has a family and a beautiful life that he deserves. He's thrilled doing things like mowing the lawn and helping with household chores because they're normal. He may not always like the neighborhood barbeques because he doesn't want people to stare or bother him about his arm, but you're quick to step in on the rare occasion when it happens. And who knew he'd get excited to shop for things like an air fryer or non-stick pans? And making new holiday and family traditions?
It's a good life for Bucky. It's even better because he has you. Love and thanks! â¤ď¸

Hiker's Delight
Summary: Bucky takes you on a hike. That's it. That's the fic. Boyfriend! Bucky x Reader. Established Relationship.
Warnings: Just fluff and some mentions of post- Hydra trauma, but nothing too crazy. Will proper edit later!
A/N: Quick lil fic I wrote cause I've been just wanting more boyfriend! bucky, domestic life vibes. I need fluffy and comforting energy rn and this is that. Enjoy!!
Masterlist
I make my way up the hill, huffing as I grab onto a nearby rock to pull myself up.
Bucky's behind me, not out of breath at all, the damn super soldier and his stamina and-
"Hey, you doin' ok?" I hear from behind me, Bucky leaning against a nearby rock.
I nod, looking back ahead as I haul myself up. "This is just a bit more intense than I thought, I'll be okay though." I let out another grunt and I push another step. He's stayed behind me the whole time even though I'm going at a snail's pace, according to him I'd probably drop off and get lost if he lead the way.
"You sure you don't want-"
"No. You are not gonna carry me. I'm gonna finish *grunt* this *huff* damn hike with my own two feet."Â
We pull forward, the slopes getting a bit more steep than I expected, which had me nearly sweating by the time we reached the edge. I looked up at the towering cliff knowing my arms were like jello, but I had to, needed to-
Bucky knelt down and held his hands out, a makeshift lift as he looked up at me. He quirked his brow.
"I can-" I start.
"Stop being stubborn and take the help doll. This cliff is a bit of a bitch, if you can't tell." He said waved his arm at the cliff to make a point.
I don't say anything and just sigh, knowing he was right. No use being overly stubborn about this. I prop my foot in his hands, griping where I could on the rock in front of me before Bucky said "Ready? 1... 2..."
And then I was up, the top of the rock pressed against my stomach as I hoisted myself over the rest of the way. I crawled forward, legs starting to feel a bit like jello now that I was on the ground.Â
I watched as Bucky followed right after, easily pulling himself over like it was the easiest thing in the world. He stood up with ease, clearly not dealing with same jello legs as I just kind of collapsed on my back and took some deep breaths.Â
"Ugh, this damn body. Why must it betray me so." My dramatic ass said.
"Because you just went on a pretty intensive hike with barely any training even though I offered to have you train with me for like 2 months."
My noodle arm managed to raise up and wave him off, "Semantics."
He chuckled, taking a seat beside me and brushing the sweaty strands of hair off my face. "Want some water?"
I nod, eyes closed as my breathing stedied, my body starting to relax and calm down from the overexertion. I heard a bottle cap untwist, making me open my eyes to see Bucky with some water in hand.Â
"Come on, you can prop up against me if you want." He said, hand gently helping me upwards. I push myself up and shift over, my back now facing the soldier's chest as he hands me the bottle.
"Oh fuck that's good," I sigh, taking a long swig before passing it back over to Bucky. It takes me a moment, but after I blink a few times I finally realize the view before me.
Directly in front of us is the most beautiful mountain range I'd ever seen-- massive trees lining the edges of the mountainS, an eagle soaring overhead, and a huge, crystal blue lake smack dab in the center. So cut off from civilization, this untouched land surrounded my mountains and only Mother Nature as its mistress.
"Wow, this is-" I start, eyes wide as they tried to take in every detail. The lighting, the shades of green, the textures--all of it... "breathtaking."
"I'm glad you like it." Bucky said softly, his voice a soft tickle behind my ear. His arms wrapped around my waist, tucking me in a bit closer to him as I sat in awe.
"Even though I'm not the biggest hiking fan-"
"Huh, couldn't tell." Bucky joked.
"-oh hush. I was saying, even though I'm not the biggest hiker, I'm really glad you asked me to do this." I reached for his hands on my waist and gave them a small squeeze.
"Thanks for coming. I'd only ever been here alone before, and it was for a mission. So I'm glad I get to actually enjoy it, and with some pretty decent company while we're at it." He kissed the side of my head, a smirk pressed against my hair.
"Oh decent huh? Just decent?" I looked over into his blue eyes and saw they were already looking down at me. That shit-eating smirk plastered on his stupidly gorgeous face. "Says the man who practically begged to take me here."
He shrugged, "I don't remember begging."
"Oh? So all that whining and bribing with takeout was just a lapse in memory then?"
"Probably." He said, the nonchalance to his voice making me wanna shove and kiss his sarcastic ass all at once..
So I settle with a boop his nose and a scrunched smile. "Cheeky." I turn back to the view before me, settling back into Bucky. As I reached into my bag and pulled out the small lunch I'd packed prior, I heard a grumble behind me. "Hungry?" I ask.
"Just a bit." He chuckled lightly.
I pulled some of the sandwiches and some fruits out, grabbing one for myself and handing the other to Bucky. "I can't think of a prettier place I've ever eaten," I said, mouth half full as I took a bite of my sandwich.
He reached for some blueberries, arms brushing past mine as he hummed and popped them in his mouth. "I need to take you out more then. Can't let this be the peak of our relationship now can I?"
"I mean, as long as I can actually physically get to these places ok I'm down. My stubbornness can't handle another hike like this, or I'll try to climb Everest of something next time."
"Eh, Everest is overrated anyways." He said, taking another bite of food.
I turned around in shock, "Seriously? You climbed Everest?"
He had a cocky smile on his face as he nodded. "Yup. Was kidding about the overrated thing though. Impressed?"
"Um, yeah I'm impressed! But when, how, what was it like?" I rambled on. I couldn't believe this man I'd come to know and love still had stuff like this just to learn about. A whole lifetime to know.Â
He put the bottle down, thinking for a bit. "About ten years ago, when I was still in..." He hesitated. Hydra. Something we both knew, understood in... Different ways. It didn't need to be said. "I remember bits and pieces, but it was cold as hell and windy. For a second there though, at the top of the mountain, I looked out and was me. Bucky. I didn't remember the last time I had been myself like that, and I just didnt know what to do but take a deep breath in, look out at the mountains. I sat there for... Fuck knows how long."
I set down my food and reached for his hand, my thumb tracing over the back as he spoke. "Is that why you like hiking and climbing so much?"Â
He nodded, hand turning and holding mine. He looked at the metal hand below him intertwined with mine before he spoke. "It can always pull me out of whatever headspace I'm in, I don't know. When shit doesn't work and the day feels like hell, being out here just... Helps. It reminds me of who I was or could be. I don't know." He shrugged, looking away at the view.
I squeeze his hand, eyes tracing back to his face. "I think I can sort of understand. Not the hiking or climbing but... Being by the sea does the same for me. Helps me remember that I'm alive and here."
He nods, his gaze still in the horizon. "It's like, no matter how fucked up the world gets or I get, nature doesn't judge. She justs gets it and doesn't care. Doesn't care about who I am or what I've done."
"Because she just sees chaos and order and gets that both are important." I add, fingers still tracing along the side of his face slowly. "The rest of it doesn't really matter."
"Exactly."
We sit in silence for a moment before I shift Bucky's face towards me. His eyes lock onto mine in silent question.Â
"Thank you for bringing me here. And sharing this with me."
He smiles as he leans down, a small kiss pressed against my lips before he let his forehead drop to mine. "Happy to."
"So where to next?" I ask, pulling back enough to look at him. "Another mountain? The desert? A tundra?"
"Actually, " he said, that cocky smile gracing his features again. "I got the perfect spot already in mind."

Sore Muscles
A Something Domestic Drabble
Pairing: ex-military amputee!Bucky x fem!Reader
Summary: Buckyâs prosthetic has been causing some issues, but itâs a good thing he has you to help him out with that
Word Count: 1.1K
Warnings: muscle soreness and a massage?? So just fluff
A/N: thanks to @sweetdreamsbuck for planting this seed in my head, I hope you enjoy <3
Series Masterlist || Bucky Masterlist
Ever since he got the new arm, even though he was doing physical therapy to try and help get used to it, Bucky's muscles had started to ache. He'd tried to ignore it, pushing through the work he did with you every day on top of his physical therapy that he did three times a week.
Today, his body was not having it.
He felt the bed dip and shift as you turned, moving to get up for the morning and he'd peeled his eyes open to watch you. He loved watching you in the morning - the way the barely rising sun would dance on your skin as you made your way to the closet, only leaving a small gap open in the doorway for Alpine who liked to be your shadow. The way you tried so hard to be quiet to not wake him even though he couldn't sleep past you getting out of bed in the first place.
He'd watch through the crack in the closet door as you searched through your clothes, searching for a specific pair of pants or a certain shirt. You'd eventually merge from the closet, clothed and ready to go down stairs to make your coffee. Lifting his arm to get your attention before you walked out, he smiled once you linked your fingers together, sitting on the edge of the bed next to him.
"Good morning, Jamie," You whispered against his lips as you leaned over to plant yours there.
Humming into the kiss, he couldn't stop from trying to nip at your lips before you pulled away, "Good morning, darlin'." He went to turn over, to lay on his back so he could really look at you in the morning light, but the second he got his elbow lifted enough to pull on the muscle, his back all but seized.
Letting out a long groan as he struggled to finish turning around, he could feel your hands hesitating on his skin, not knowing how to help but wanting to. Once he was finally on his back and could relax again, he let out the breath he'd held after his muscles started their tantrum.
"Oh god, that sucks," He muttered, opening his eyes to see you still sat beside him, your face coated in worry.
"Are you okay?" You asked, not sure where to rest your hands on him, not wanting to cause him any more pain than what you just witnessed.
He sighed before doing his best to shrug, "I don't know, it was just like my back was on fire for a second." He felt your hand rest against his chest and he reached up to grab it, lacing your fingers together.
"You stay here, I'll let the horses out and get them fed," You started, rubbing your thumb along his knuckles, "and when I come back, we're taking that arm off of you and working on your back."
He tried to argue with you, to say that he could still get up and help and that you shouldn't be doing all this work on your own but you shut him up. He got an earful about how you can do it, you've been doing it for years before he showed up on your porch and how if he tried to follow you out there, you'd personally drag him back in by the collar of his shirt.
So he waited for you.
He laid there, trying to will his muscles to relax but to no avail. In fact, it felt like they were just getting worse, mocking him as they held him captive to the bed while he could hear you outside doing morning chores thanks to the open window.
It didn't take long though for you to finish up and come back inside, ditching your shoes and grabbing lotion before making your way to the bedroom where you helped Bucky sit up. He leaned against you, clutching at your side with his flesh hand as you worked to get his prosthetic off, sighing when the weight of it dislodged from him and fell to the bed. You moved it to the floor, where it wouldn't get stepped on or kicked, and helped him lay on his stomach before you placed yourself over him. Straddling his hips and sitting on the backs of his thighs, you got to work, moving the lotion into his back and feeling the riddled mess of knots in his muscles.
Bucky swore your hands were magic, there was no way they weren't. Whether you admitted it or not, there was something supernatural about the way your hands worked the knots out of his back.
He couldn't help the groans that crawled their way out of his throat and slipped past his lips every time you got one of the knots to at least shrink, the feeling of his muscles finally relaxing made him feel like he was literally melting into the blankets under him.
He got lost in how good it felt, going into somewhat of a trance as your hands forced the knots away. It wasn't long until you had him on the verge of sleep, in the midst of limbo under your touch. Slightly humming as you lightly dragged your fingertips across his skin after you were done working his muscles. You could see the sleepy smiles gracing his lips when you switched to your nails, gently scratching his back in long strokes - one of his favorites.
When you leaned over and placed a line of kisses across the expanse of his shoulders, paying special attention to the scars on the left side, that was what pulled him back to the waking world. You rested your weight against his back, laying on top of him as gently as you could while wrapping your hands around his shoulders.
"Thank you, darlin'," he muttered into the sheets, relishing in the way you felt pressed against him, and noticing how his back hardly ached anymore. He brought his hand up to grab at your hand on his shoulder, giving it a squeeze as you leaned up to kiss just under his ear.
"Of course, you know I like taking care of you," You whispered, this moment seeming too gentle to speak any louder.
"I know you do," He hummed, pulling your hand forward so he could lay a kiss on your knuckles before sinking into the mattress again, comfortably pressed down by your weight, like his own personal security blanket.
He didn't know what he'd do without you, but he did know that he was going to repay you for this. Later. For now, he was going to allow himself this moment of reprieve for as long as you'd lay on him.
As always, thank you for reading! Reblogs, likes, and comments are always appreciated <3
