White Wine In The Sun

Title: White Wine In The Sun (Prompt- let's go somewhere warm for the winter)   Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader Summary:  It’s been years since Bucky has truly celebrated Christmas, but this year, he finds himself reluctantly agreeing to spend the holidays with you at your childhood home—a sunny, warm retreat in Australia.

Word Count: 2k

Warnings:  Romance, Little Angsty and Fluff, Kissing A/N: Another entry for @the-slumberparty December daze challenge- Day 16) As an Australian Christmas is a different experience for us.. Also it’s 40+/104 degrees here today LOL taking inspo from White Wine In The Sun by Tim Minchin

The sound of jet engines roared in the background as Bucky adjusted his duffle bag over his shoulder, glancing down at the boarding pass in his hand. A flight to Melbourne, Australia, was far from how he imagined spending his Christmas. He looked over at you, the excitement on your face unmistakable as you juggled your carry-on and passport.

"You sure you want to drag me along for this?" he muttered, his tone low but tinged with humour.

You smiled at him, nudging his arm. "I'm not dragging you. You're coming willingly. Mostly."

He huffed, shaking his head but allowing you to guide him toward the gate. "Just remember, this was your idea," he said, though there was no bite to his words.

As you boarded the plane and found your seats, Bucky couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. He had never been one for big family gatherings, and the thought of spending Christmas with your family in a small country town made him a little anxious. But as he looked over at you, he saw the excitement in your eyes and knew he couldn't say no.

The flight was long, but eventually, you arrived in Melbourne and made your way to the rural property where you grew up. The drive long from the capital, though Bucky could practically watch you vibrate in the driver's seat next to him, the aircon already blasting in the car. You regaled him with stories of Christmases past in in the country. “Down here, Christmas is typically BBQ, white wine, beers and prawns.” You did wonder if Bucky would miss snow and roaring fires. He listened quietly, his lips quirking into small smiles when you told him about your dad’s chaotic attempts to make pavlova and your siblings’ insistence on Christmas karaoke when everyone got too drunk or had to much sugar.

“It’s… different,” Bucky said cautiously as he looked out car window, watching the paddocks of dry grass and gumtrees past by.

“You’ll love it,” you assured him, squeezing his hand. “It might not be snowy and cold, but it’s still magical. And I want you to experience it with me.” The house was a beautiful, some old farm house with a wrap-around veranda and large trees surrounding it. Dogs running around the gardens by the house as the car pulled up the long drive. As you stepped out of the car, Bucky followed getting hit in the face by the stifling heat that seemed to not affect you at all as he took in the sights and sounds of the property. You led him to the front door, Bucky looked uncomfortable in the heat already.  Your parents came bustling out to greet you, their enthusiasm immediately overwhelming Bucky, though he managed a polite smile as they pulled you into hugs.

“And this must be Bucky,” your mom said warmly, extending a hand. “We’ve heard so much about you.”

Bucky’s lips twitched into a faint smile. “Thank you for having me,” he said, his voice quiet but genuine.

Your dad clapped him on the back, nearly making him stumble. “Come on in! Bet you’re starving after that flight.” “Your fathers even put the aircon on.” “Oh it is a special occasion!” You chime trying not to laugh as you both got ushed inside into the cool. “Thought your poor boy might melt on us if I didn’t.” You hoped Bucky had been around you long enough to understand ‘Australian’ humour or this might be a long few days for him.

Thankfully  Bucky adjusted to the unorthodox holiday traditions your family embraced. He helped your dad man the BBQ as more family descended on the house, earning approving nods for his efficient handling of the steaks. Your sister arrival  with her small family resulted in your shrieking like someone had doused you in ice water, Bucky had barely enough time to register what was going on before you took off sprinting across the lawn almost taking her to the ground in a hug  while her husband carried their new infant daughter from the car. “ABBY!” Abby squealed in delight, squeezing you just as tightly as you embraced her, both of you laughing like kids again. “Oh my God, look at you! You’re glowing!” you exclaimed, pulling back to hold her at arm’s length. “And her! Let me see her!”

Her husband chuckled, carefully shifting the tiny bundle in his arms toward you. “Meet baby Lucy,” he said proudly.

Your heart melted instantly as you reached for the baby, cradling her with practiced ease. “Oh, Abby, she’s perfect,” you breathed, your eyes misting as you took in the soft, delicate features of your new niece. Lucy yawned, her tiny face scrunching up before settling into a peaceful expression, and you swore your heart grew three sizes.

“Bucky!” you called over your shoulder, your excitement brimming over. “Come ‘ere! You ‘ave to meet her!”

Bucky, who had just finished placing a perfectly grilled steak onto a serving tray for your dad, looked up from the BBQ. He hesitated for only a moment, his brows knitting together in a mix of curiosity and cautiousness, before making his way over.

“This is Bucky,” you introduced as he approached, your smile wide as you gestured to him with one hand while still holding Lucy in the other. “And Bucky, this is my sister Abby, her husband Jake, and the newest addition to the family—baby Lucy.”

Abby gave Bucky a once-over, her expression swiftly turning approving. “So ‘is is the famous Bucky,” she said, her voice teasing. “I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Bucky glanced at you, a faint blush creeping up his neck. “All good things, I hope.”

“Mostly,” Abby teased with a smirk before extending her hand. “Welcome to the chaos. If you survived the BBQ, you’re halfway there.”

Bucky shook her hand, his grin softening. “Thanks. And congrats, by the way. She’s beautiful.”

“Want to ‘old her?” Jake asked suddenly, catching everyone off guard. He stepped closer, offering the baby to Bucky.

“Oh, uh…” Bucky’s eyes widened slightly, and he instinctively stepped back. “I’m not sure that’s a good idea.”

“You’ll be fine mate,” Jake assured him with a friendly smile. “She’s lighter than a ‘ag of flour. ‘ust support her head, and you’re golden.”

“Go on,” you encouraged gently, your voice filled with warmth. “She wont bite—yet.”

Reluctantly, Bucky nodded, his expression a mix of uncertainty and determination. Jake carefully handed Lucy over, and Bucky held her with the same precision and care he might handle a priceless artifact. His metal hand rested firmly under her body, supporting her weight as his flesh hand cradled her head.

For a moment, everything seemed to pause. Lucy stirred slightly, her tiny fist waving in the air before she settled again, and Bucky let out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding.

“She likes you,” Abby said softly, her teasing replaced with genuine warmth.

Bucky’s lips curved into a small, almost shy smile as he looked down at the baby in his arms. “She’s... so small,” he murmured, his voice full of wonder.

Your heart swelled at the sight. You hadn’t expected this, but seeing Bucky—calm, tender, and utterly captivated by your niece—was enough to make your chest ache with affection. You exchanged a quiet glance with Abby, her knowing smile mirroring your own.

“Well,” Jake said with a grin, “looks like Uncle Buck a natural.”

Bucky’s gaze flicked up, meeting yours with a hint of surprise at the title, but you just smiled softly, nodding in agreement. “Yeah,” you said. “He really is.”

Your younger cousins dragged him into a backyard cricket game, where he quickly became the star player despite his initial protests. Watching him laugh as the kids cheered his every move made your heart swell as you sat with your infant niece asleep on your shoulder.

As Christmas day turned into Christmas night and the endless buffet of festive eating turned into casual grazing under twinkling string lights, you found Bucky sitting on the back veranda staring out at the horizon where the sun dipped below the trees. You joined him, handing him a cold drink. You could see a mob of roos bouncing their way across the far paddock.

“It’s different, huh?” you asked, sitting beside him.

He nodded, his gaze distant. “Yeah. Different… but nice.” He glanced at you, a soft smile tugging at his lips. “Your family’s great.”

“They love you already,” you said, leaning your shoulder against his. “And I love seeing you like this—relaxed, happy.”

Bucky’s smile faded slightly, his brow furrowing. “It’s not something I’m used to,” he admitted. “Being around so much… joy. It’s good, though. I’m trying.”

You reached over, taking his hand in yours. “You’re doing great, Buck. And I’m proud of you.” Bucky glanced down at your hand in his, his thumb brushing over your knuckles as his expression softened. The quiet moment between you seemed to stretch, filled with the faint hum of cicadas and the distant laughter of your family inside the house.

“I didn’t think I’d fit in Doll,” he murmured, his voice low and almost hesitant. “I mean, this—your family, all this… normalcy. I wasn’t sure it was for me.”

You smiled, leaning into him just a little more. “You’re wrong, you know. You fit in just fine. Better than fine, actually. I think my dad’s ready to adopt you after that steak performance.”

A small laugh escaped him, a sound that was still rare enough to make your chest tighten with affection. “Yeah, your dad’s good people.”

“You’re good people,” you teased, nudging him lightly with your shoulder. “And, for the record, you’re doing a lot better than the time Uncle Rick burned half the backyard trying to light the BBQ.”

Bucky chuckled at that, the sound warming the cool night air. “Guess I’ve got that going for me.”

For a moment, the two of you simply sat there, watching the horizon as the last hints of sunlight disappeared and the stars began to blink into view. The quiet comfort between you felt like its own kind of holiday magic—simple, real, and grounding.

When he finally spoke again, his voice was quieter, more reflective. “Thanks for bringing me here. For… all of this.”

You turned to look at him, catching the vulnerability in his expression as he stared out at the stars. “You deserved it, Bucky,” you said softly. “You deserve every bit of this—every laugh, every hug, every moment of peace.”

His hand tightened slightly around yours, and when he turned his gaze to meet yours, there was something unspoken in his eyes—something raw and grateful. “You make it easier to believe that,” he said, barely above a whisper.

You smiled, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to his cheek. “Good. Because it’s true.”

The distant laughter of your family drifted out onto the porch, pulling both of you back to the present. Bucky glanced toward the house, his smile growing as he squeezed your hand. “So, when do I get my own honorary ugly Christmas shirt?”

You burst into laughter, shaking your head. “Oh, you’re in for it next year, Barnes. And it’s going to have tinsel.”

That night, after everyone else had gone to bed, you and Bucky found yourselves alone on the porch, the warm breeze carrying the scent countryside and flowers. The quiet intimacy of the moment wrapped around you both like a blanket.

Bucky reached out, brushing a strand of hair from your face. “You’ve given me something I didn’t think I’d ever have Doll,” he said quietly. “A home. A place I belong.”

Tears welled in your eyes as you leaned closer, pressing your forehead to his. “You are my home, Bucky. Always.” The kiss that followed was slow and tender, deepening as months of unspoken longing finally broke free. Bucky’s hands roamed your back, pulling you closer until you were both breathless. He scooped you into his arms, carrying you inside.

The more places I live the more I discover how fucking weird the weather is all up the west coast. I'm used to both SoCal and PNW weather systems now but what those both have in common is consistency. You will not see a 40 degree jump between two days in Seattle. You will not see a 40 degree difference ever really in San Diego.

But all the rest of you are living in some weird ass looney tunes world where it can snow one day and be 65 degrees and sunny the next and then be rainy and foggy the day after. In the tropical areas sometimes you randomly get a lightning storm in the middle of the day and you're just supposed to be okay with that.

How do you live like this? Do you just check the weather every single day? How do you make plans? You people are insane.

my favorite weather is when it’s snowing but my second favorite might be when it’s clear and sunny and somewhere between 35 and 40 degrees (2-5 degrees c). for me that means it’s cold enough I have to wear a winter coat but not so cold I have to zip it up all the way. ideal

enjoyed some saturday pancakes // hello nice to see you leg muscles i’ve been working on you 👋🏼 // my favorite neighborhood cat is back and kept me company while doing my warm up drills

SPRING TIME BABY!! 🌞🌷🌱 except we’re getting snow tomorrow and nothing has sprouted or bloomed. it was like 40 degrees and sunny, and i had to change after the picture to take off the vest but put on a slightly thicker long sleeve. it was GORGEOUS and it was such a nice run. i decided to check out a new road nearby that has consistent rolling hills and they were hard but fun! i was actively trying hard to slow myself down to keep it at an easy pace and i think i succeeded for the most part except at the last mile. i think i’m always going to kick it at the last mile, and that’s just me. splits were 11:02/10:39/9:19. i am impressed that i am starting slow and increasing pace along the run. i’ve always been the kind of runner that pressed go on the watch, went way too fast, and would inevitably blow up later in the run or need to take walking breaks. i feel like i approach running with a lot more knowledge and intent now than i did in the past and excited to see where it takes me!

Ancardia's Unusual Animals--the Snow Snake

Classification: Beast (squamate)

Habitat: The grasslands, scrubs and forested regions of Tvearban

            A truly unique member of the squamates, the snow snake is one of the few large exothermic reptiles adapted to spend most of its life out and about in the cold reaches of Tvearban. Adults measure approximately 1.5 to 2 meters in length and are the thickness of a human’s wrist (not counting the flared scales). An adult on a sunny day can tolerate temperatures hovering above freezing by making use of the strange adaptation that is its layered, flared scales on the top three quarters of its body, which act as both insulation from heat loss and as biological solar panels which capture the heat of sunlight and transfer it to the blood vessels below the root of each scale, enabling a passive heating as the snow snake travels about. Despite its heating system, it is still usually very sluggish in such cold conditions, and it tends to require cooling off if temperatures in its environment reach over 27 degrees Celsius. In summer months, the snow snake tends to spend much of its time in caves where the air is more tolerable for them, and are noted for being primarily bat-hunters during the short arctic summer. In transitional times when the temperature cools off, the snow snake travels widely, hunting a variety of animals such as lemmings, snow hares, squirrels and occasional birds. In the depths of winter when it drops below freezing, the snow snake employs its signature survival technique of burrowing into snowdrifts to insulate and conserve their heat before entering a torpor state. This state often lasts about three weeks, and in between bouts of this the snow snake will very slowly slither its way around its territory until it has located a cavern site for the spring breeding season; in the weeks leading up to the main thaw, snow snakes have congregated in larger caverns en masse, and will soon form breeding balls.

            Snow snakes from the same breeding ball will all lay their eggs in protected crevices communally in the rear portion of the same cavern some two months later before departing for their normal haunts in the springtime. Some of these eggs may be taken by larger carnivorous bats, or cave crickets, or rarely scavenging foxes and birds that make their way into the caves, but the sheer density of them tends to ensure that at least 50% will make it to hatching time. After two months of incubation, the tiny snow snakes emerge and spend their first year exclusively in the caves, as they have not developed the flared scales that enable adults to tolerate the lower temperatures. They primarily feed on small arthropods such as crickets, roaches, and centipedes in this year, and grow from nine-centimeter newborns to 40-centimeter adolescents in this time, growing in their signature scales in their last molt before the next spring. Snow snakes are considered full adults by the end of their second year, and the typical lifespan of a snow snake is between 12 and 20 years. Some predators of the snow snake adults include polar and brown bears, arctic wolves, large eagles, and various local humanoids such as frost giants, hill giants, Islydweragh and northern groups of humans. The shingle-scaled hides are prized by some groups for making windbreakers and hoods that resist the weather and moisture like few other natural materials, and usually are paired with fox or wolf fur to line the interior to maximize the insulation. Snow snake venom is not particularly lethal, though it is still a danger to humanoids that choose to hunt them or who stumble upon one accidentally—though the only known fatalities from snow snake bites have been spelunkers who have slipped into pits containing masses of the juveniles (which led to the young members of this species to once erroneously be thought a different species of “pit viper”).

Summers in Canada may get quite warm and muggy. Like other places in the world, it may get quite warm. Expect some sunny days mixed in with some rainy ones. There will be numerous opportunities to visit nearby beaches, parks, and lakes. It's the time of year when Canadians take vacations, visit their cottages, and make the most of the great outdoors. Following are some examples of appropriate clothing:

Bathing suit, Sunglasses, Baseball hat, Flip flops, sandals, walking shoes, Shorts, dresses, T-shirts and tank tops, Light hooded sweater, Sports attire

Fall clothing categories (September to November)

When fall arrives, you'll notice that the temperature is beginning to cool down and that the leaves on the trees are beginning to change color. It's the season for pumpkin spice lattes. It's time to celebrate Thanksgiving and get out the sweaters. What to wear this fall is listed below:

A light jacket, Sweaters and hoodies, Jeans, leggings, long dresses, Long sleeve shirts and button-up shirts, Light gloves, Scarf, Wool hat

Winter Clothing You'll Need (December to February)

You've probably heard about the harsh winters in Canada. They make us famous. Fortunately, the majority of people are unaware that winter is just one season out of the entire year. But it is accurate to say that bitterly cold temperatures, snow and ice, and bone-chilling winds do exist. If you plan to go skiing, tobogganing, or taking a quick walk outside, you should dress in layers. You'll need the following types of clothing for a Canadian winter, as examples:

Winter coat (with hood), Snow pants, Boots, Gloves, toque, scarf, earmuffs,, Thermal pants, Long pants, Heavy sweaters, Hoodies, sweatpants, Thick socks

Tuesday, 27 December, 2022... Warmup.......Back Squats....... Partner WOD.

I’m taking a chance scheduling a workout for tomorrow since conditions are still crappy at the Barn, but I am going into Exercise Withdrawal and I must do something soon.  I blew most of the snow off the Barn decks today, but it is still trying to flurry as I am typing.  The Weather-Person says it is going up to 40 degrees with bright sun tomorrow, so I’m betting that the decks will be wet but not icy.

Speaking of Exercise Withdrawal, Big Lew/Kati/and myself wore out some ERGs indoors today.  Lew Bike-Erg’d around 35,000m and Kati was right behind.  I just piddled around comparatively, using a Bike and a Ski-ERG.  Big Lew has been known to ERG an entire Marathon...42,000m +. 

And so...Tuesday.

It warmed up a little and the sun shined, so a lot of our snow and ice melted.  The decks were a little damp, but we can deal with that.

Warmup:

TABATA’s

Don’t fret about the weight or the reps.

Just grab a light KB and swing it around a bit.

It’s just a warmup.

4  Rounds

Kettle-Bell Bent Rows

Kettle-Bell Swings 

Strength WOD:

Back Squats

Warmup with a few, then start at 50 to 60%.

Notes:

I don’t think it is a HIPPA violation to inform you guys that Greg Boyd is in VUH.  He is doing as great as any super-fit CrossFitter can be expected to do after emergency abdominal surgery.  He will probably go home to Hop-Town tomorrow.  Captain Boyd is a big shot at the Spring Hill Fire Station, and was Owner-Coach at CrossFit Combustion in Spring Hill for several years until he sold it.  He commutes from Hop-Town to Spring Hill.  Greg, Ashley, and their 4 children have been much beloved friends for many years.  Greg attended LHCF before it was LHCF, sometimes being called upon to help your old Coach show you how to do exercises better.  Our older members certainly remember.  If you have the Lord’s ear, the Boyd’s will appreciate your prayers. 

Grant was a visitor today.  Actually he worked out with us at BA Christmas EVE.  Armando claims Grant as a “Nephew”, but Grant said that they aren’t kin.  Grant was formerly in the Navy, which perhaps is why Armando claims him.  Grant is a Med Student at UVA and will be returning there soon.  He received a nice t-shirt.

Thursday at 4 PM with wine tasting to follow.  We have 5 bottles left over from last week.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, at 0800.  It will be sunny, no wind, and temp starting at 34 and going to almost 40 by 0900.  Many people are out of town, but at least Miss Linda and I will be there.  Come on.

Urg I hate the term “stick season” here in VT just say what it really is which is “used to be winter before climate change season”.

hey hey hey! hope everyone is having a good day on this beautiful sunday!

[you-are-so-much-better-than-that]

Y'know what gets me about the shameless timeline??? THEIR FUCKING WEDDING.

We claim it's March 21st 2020. That's when the episode aired, that's when the wedding supposedly happened, fine, great.

HERES THE THING!!

When Debbie suggests having the wedding at the park, Ian says "it's gonna be 40 degrees with a chance of snow"

AND YET in the days before his anniversary, Ian is swimming in the pool and sitting outside with his sunbathing neighbors.

Also, in the days before their wedding (meaning EARLY MARCH in CHICAGO in the MIDWEST UNITED STATES) they're walking around in light jackets, it's sunny and there's no snow or even hint that it's winter.

My personal theory is that the wedding actually happened on OCTOBET 21st 2019, before COVID starts.

This also makes sense because when season 11 starts (~6+ months later) they're still pretty closely following quarantine procedures. Anyway, thoughts??

Oh Alicia you sweet soul boy do I have thoughts!! 😂😂 They jist of them is 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️. I'm not there yet at all, but somewhere around season four, John Wells really forgets how time works/stops giving a fuck about continuity. So by the time seasons 10/11 come around, time has no meaning. All common sense is gone.

What actually happens is the first three seasons, I think Wells preferred keeping time compact. So the first three seasons technically happened within like a year and a half, not the three years it was filmed over. What Wells didn't consider is that the children he hired will go through puberty, and the 10 year old Debbie that filmed season 1 won't look 11/12 in season 4 since she's now 14. So major unexplained time jump. It went from 2012 to 2014 in three weeks (we'll get there. This is the thing thay drives me the most crazy).

As for the wedding, the episode aired in January of 2020 and I assume filmed around then too, so therefore snow! Cold! Etc! Then the anniversary episode aired in April 2021 and filmed in March. I don't know if covid delayed things and they expected to film earlier and couldn't but the script was written and they didn't wanna rewrite. Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit and they're just lazy as fuck. I don't know. But it really wouldn't have been hard to just have them wear puffy jackets..

Unfortunately, at the very last second, they show Frank's date of death and it says March 21, so it's pretty canonically definitive that day. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I just tell myself the year of the wedding was a freakishly cold winter and the following year was a freakishly warm spring? I don't know 🙄 I have a friend here in Canada who has a heated pool and she gets it going in April 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

But you know what? John Wells did say time makes no sense, so that's canon too 😂 you are free to think anything you'd like! Time doesn't exist in Shameless!

Thanks for coming along this wild ride as we try to make sense of something that makes absolutely no sense!
