As I was - 7: Where did the title come from?

Actually not from a song, which is where I usually get my titles haha! As I Was is about both Bucky and Harper trying to remember past versions of themselves, I had the line ‘I’m just trying to remember myself, as I was’ in my head when getting my head around what the fic was going to be about and it stuck!

As I Was

The Smithsonian Captain America exhibit had been the one constant in Harper Rhodes’ life for years. As someone who knew barely anything of her own past she loved to know that the words she had written were educating so many on the nation’s First Avenger. 

Then The Winter Soldier turns up, S.H.I.E.L.D collapses and Harper walks out of her office one night to see a man she believed to be dead standing reading her work. A man with a shining metal arm. Happy to use all of the knowledge she has gathered in her research she pushes herself into Bucky Barnes’ life, determined to help him remember. Only when one domino falls into place more and more follow and Harper begins to uncover truths she could never have predicted.

Like the truth about the family she didn’t even remember and the people she thought were friends.

Is now also on AO3 :)

HARPER 🍪 HARPER 🍪 HARPER 🍪❤️

Unevens 😏 for Harper and Bucky 😘

Unevens is still the best word for them!

1. Who makes the first move and how? Harper is the one who changes first  which gives Bucky the confidence to be the first one to lean in for the kiss

3. Who is the most romantic? Bucky, he’s got that old fashioned romantic streak

5. Who says ‘I love you’ first? Probably Bucky, they haven’t said it yet - it would probably be after he’s been put back under in Wakanda. Their version of ‘I love you’ at the moment is ‘All good?’ it pops up a lot in the fic

7. What do they get up to on a night out? They’re not really ‘going out’ types tbh! But I think they’d go with Sam just because he’s so entertaining

9. What is the most embarrassing thing they have done in front of each other? Harper finds it embarrassing every time she cries in front of him, she’s not one who likes to show her emotion like that! For Bucky it’s probably whenever he gets something modern wrong and she has to help him

11. What do they hide from one another? Not much, once they’re together they’re in it together no matter what. They tell each other everything

13. When do they realise they should get together? Properly in Wakanda. They’re together before then of course but they know after he’s woken up, he’s himself again and they’re just even more compatible than they were before

15. When they watch a film what do they choose and why? Who gets the final vote? Harper! She chooses a range of movies to get him up to date with what’s gone on in the world. He rates them after and definitely doesn’t love all of them

17. When they find a time machine, where do they go? Probably back to the 40s so Bucky could show her the ‘old him’

19. Where do they go on their first date? They don’t really date in the beginning but I think they’d go out to dinner in Wakanda. Both of them hate the formality.

21. Where do they get nervous about going with one another? They don’t really get nervous with one another. They trust one another so much, they know they have one another’s back so they’re always comfortable

(but also Harper just gets nervous wherever Steve is)

23. Where is their favourite place to be together? Outside, especially at night or in the rain

25. Why do they fight? Because one of them is being too reckless

27. Why do their friends get annoyed with them? This is So Sad but their friends don’t get to spend much time with them together! Once they are together around people Bucky goes under in Wakanda then he gets dusted. Honestly. He’s so rude.

29. Why do they fall a little bit more in love? Trust. They’re the only person the other trusts in the world and that gives them a special bond nothing can break

[sgtbuckyybarnes]

ship headcanon meme for Harper!!! ^_^ #1, 12, 29 and 30!

1. Who makes the first move and how? Harper is the one who changes first  which gives Bucky the confidence to be the first one to lean in for the kiss 

12. What first changes when it starts getting serious? Nothing much to be honest! They’ve lived with one another for so long, on the run, that being together doesn’t really change much. It would probably just be that they had someone else to worry about now and someone else to live for

29. Why do they fall a little bit more in love? Trust. They’re the only person the other trusts in the world and that gives them a special bond nothing can break

30. Why does it work (or not work) between them? Same as the above! They also never take offence and pull one another through the hardest things, once they are together and out in the open they never keep big secrets from one another

🌻and 🍄for Harper!

🌻 What little things do they notice about people or the world around them that make them happy? What tiny little treasures do they find in the normal every day that makes the world seem a little brighter for them?

There’s nothing like a small act of kindness to Harper. Growing up in foster care and ending up homeless when she was younger meant she relied on small acts of kindness from people so she will always try to emulate them as she grows older and becomes more privileged. A smile on a person’s face when she has let them off not being able to afford a meal at the cafe she worked at or something is definitely one of life’s little treasures to her!

🍄 What are your OCs favourite snacks? Their favourite comfort food which always cheers them up when they’re down? Favourite meal to make? Do they enjoy baking and cooking and are they any good in the kitchen? 

Harper loves any kind of sour sweet! As for her comfort food she prefers savoury to sweet so will eat crisps/popcorn/any kind of savoury snack. She really enjoys cooking, her and Bucky take it in turns, and she loves it when she’s needed in the kitchen rather than waiting on in the cafe - she doesn’t have a favourite to cook because she enjoys trying different things! Especially when they get to Romania, she loves trying all of the different kinds of food! 

Soft OC Asks

💞 + harper!

1. Natasha - literally Harper’s rock through the snap. They spend y e a r s together in the compound and get super close

2. Shuri - Harper’s little sister. They get close when Bucky’s under in Wakanda and she learns a lot from Shuri, she’s super protective of her!

3. Bucky - the love of her life, it’s just so unfortunate that they spend a lot of it apart! But she does trust him with her life and when he isn’t there it’s like she’s missing a limb

4. Scott - in endgame Harper and Scott bond like c r a z y. Their rooms are close to one another in the avengers compound and they end up staying up late talking about how they’re missing Bucky and Hope and how much they both love Steve Rogers

Which leads us onto...

5. Steve - she never thought she’d get to a place where she’d have any kind of relationship with Steve Rogers! He ends up being her confidant, her trainer, the one she goes to for advice...they just end up with this really nice relationship!

Special mention for Ryan, Elena and Sorina - her ex girlfriend and her two friends from Romania. It’s just a pity she couldn’t spend more time with them!

And also Mal and Mika!

[sgtbuckyybarnes]

5, 9, 17, 25 for harper!

5. Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?

I can’t see Harper ever willingly giving a speech! She has on the odd occasion in the museum, talking about Steve Rogers whenever a new bit of the exhibit opened, but she would prefer to stay hidden in the shadows thank u

9. Do they empathize with non-sentient things (dolls, plants, books…)?

Yeah I think she would actually! Bucky doesn’t understand it at all but she can’t have a dog with their lifestyle so her plants are her pets okay?

17. Do they like children?

She doesn’t really have a strong opinion on them? Growing up in care she was always the one who would look out for the younger ones and when they’re in Wakanda she does love it when the kids come to visit but she doesn’t get attached or anything. And she can’t have kids of her own so I guess that’s a good thing! 

25. Safety or possibility?

If you asked Harper a few years ago she would have 100% said safety but seeing where her life has gone now it would be possibility 

oc asks that reveal more than you think

[sgtbuckyybarnes]

✂️ 💡 🌋 for harper!

✂️ - What kind of thing would have your OC cut someone out of their life? How likely are they to let someone back in?

Because of all the things she has done in her past she doesn’t feel like she can judge others really haha! But the one thing she couldn’t forgive is disloyalty, if she has put her trust in someone and they have gone back on it the she wouldn’t let them back in at all

💡 - How does your OC enact plans? Do they plan down to the smallest details, or do the wing it?

Harper likes plans to be laid out, every detail covered and practised about 100 times haha! She doesn’t always get it that way of course but it’s something she would like pls

🌋 - What’s your OCs temper like? Are they a slow boil, or an instant explosion?

She’s a slow boil, she’ll let things simmer beneath the surface for far too long and always tries to keep a level head. But once she does go? rip
