A/N: I was feeling soft and fluffy so the rest of the smutty pieces for this AU can wait lmaoooo

Project V Masterlist ||  MAIN MASTERLIST

Since Project V happened, the dynamics between you and Bucky changed a whole lot. It wasn’t just the fact that the two of you kept on fucking each other every single time, but the intimacy shared definitely leveled up as well.

You weren’t as affectionate as Bucky, but you had your clingy days too. It felt nice to have someone be physically close to you, especially at times when you felt extra needy.

It was a Saturday and the essay you were working on was stressing you out. Although it wasn’t due until two weeks later, you decided to start on it but now you were just bummed out and irritated at how you couldn’t seem to formulate a proper sentence. So you decided to head over to Bucky’s dorm to hang out.

By the time you arrived, Steve and Sam were just about to head out to buy some snacks. Steve gave you a look, blocking the doorway as he crossed his arms over his chest.

“We’ll only be out for a quick run. I don’t want to come back home to you and Bucky being all nasty. Again.” Steve warned.

Sam snickered, “You should really be used to them by now, Steve.” he said.

You rolled your eyes, “I’m not in the mood to fuck. Let me in!” you demanded.

Steve sighed in defeat, “I swear to god if I see you and Bucky at it again...” he complained before finally stepping aside to let you in.

Bucky was sitting on his bed with his back resting against the headboard. He was playing a game on his phone, his attention solely on it as his fingers moved against the screen, tapping frantically before he let out a loud cheer.

“Oh, what’s up?” he asked when he noticed you standing by the doorway.

You didn’t speak up and Bucky immediately went to play again. Instead of calling for his attention, you simply went over to his bed, crawled towards him and then slipped underneath his arms so you can straddle him. Bucky just adjusted his position on the bed so you can hug him comfortably, nuzzling your face against his neck as your hands wrapped around his shoulders.

“You’re in one of those moods again, aren’t you?” he mumbled against the side of your head, before he continued to play his game.

You nodded and sniffed in Bucky’s scent, pressing your face further into his neck as you tightened your koala grip on him.

“D’you wanna lay down?” he softly asked.

“After your game.” you mumbled.

Bucky simply chuckled and exited from his game, placing his phone underneath his pillow before laying back down, slowly bringing you with him until you were on top of him. One hand began to rub circles on your back while the other went to cup your ass, gently patting it playfully.

“Want me to eat you out?” he asked.

You lifted your head up to look at him and as usual, Bucky was giving you his signature mischievous grin, “Steve’s gonna fucking kill us.” you said.

Bucky lifted his head up, just enough to press a kiss on on your lips, “How about a quick make-out sesh instead?” he asked.

You hummed and leaned down to kiss Bucky’s lips, “Yeah, sounds good.” you said.

Bucky grinned again before cupping the back of your head to kiss you deeply, his other hand remaining on your ass to squeeze at it. You softly moaned against his lips when you felt his tongue slip into your mouth. Bucky had always been a good kisser but sometimes, things moved too quickly for you to actually get lost in his kiss.

Now though, you could feel butterflies explode in your tummy as Bucky continued to kiss you. He was so gentle with the way he held your head, as if he was afraid to break you. The hand on your ass slid up to your waist so he could switch the position and have you beneath him this time. He pulled back to catch his breath, letting his tongue trace your bottom lip before gently sucking on it.

You let your fingers card through his locks, massaging his scalp when he want back to kiss you again. The kiss didn’t last that long, with Bucky pulling back to kiss your nose before tugging you to him when he laid back beside you.

“We should do this more often.” he said.

You hugged him tighter and buried your face into his shoulder, “Maybe.” you mumbled against the fabric of his shirt, feeling your lips stretch into a smile as you came to a conclusion that Bucky’s kiss might just be your favorite thing in the world.

You were about to fall asleep when you heard the door open, followed by Steve’s loud sigh of relief upon seeing you and Bucky just cuddling on the bed.

“Thank god!”

Please peruse them yourself if any sound interesting.

NOTE: SPOILER WARNING FOR ALL GAMES!!!

General Analysis of Nier:

-: Nier: The List

By Zachery Oliver, an examination of Nier and its story from a Christian perspective. Quite interesting. Highly recommended.

-: The Futility of Violence in NieR

By Zachery Oliver, a short essay about the use of violence and how Nier subverts player expectations with its narrative.

-: Weird games for weird people by a weird guy named Yoko Taro

By Ruben Ferdinand, a long and excellent summary of shared themes and concepts of Drakengard, Drakengard 3, and Nier. Highly recommended.

By @rologeass​, a quick explanation of Nier/Drakengard’s magic language, its meaning, and the Celestial Language in which it is written. Highly recommended.

-:  Drakengard & Nier - An Evolution of Soundtracks (Youtube Link)

By ValkyrieAurora, this analysis video covers the music of the Nier and Drakengard games. Definitely worth looking at to see how things have changed  and developed over the course of the series. 

-: “NIER” WILL TEACH YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IDENTITY.

By suduiko, a long and very in depth essay about Nier and the nature of identity as shown by the various characters in game. While the length and nature of this work can be intimidating, I found it to be a very interesting perspective to look at Nier from. Highly recommended.

-: ON NIER: OUGHT A GAME’S WORLD TO BE FUN TO EXPLORE?

By suduiko, a consideration on the ‘open’ world of Nier and how well it works within the narrative of the game itself.

-: THE TROUBLE WITH BODIES: A TRANS READING OF NIER

By Cayla Coats, an extremely interesting take on the characters of Nier. Definitely worth a read. Highly recommended.

Nier: Automata Focused

-: (In)visible Disabilities and Machine Bodies in NieR: Automata:- Plato 1728′s plight in a posthumanist light (Links to Tumblr post)

By @khalix-hyetology​, an analysis of Nier: Automata’s themes from a specific post-human/transhuman theme. A great deal of focus is given to the DLC elements, or at least those that are of narrative importance. Highly recommended.

By Kyle Campbell, a brief discussion of the relation between sex and death within the narrative of Nier: Automata. 

-: The Hidden Humanity in Nier: Automata’s Fashion

By Caty McCarthy, a deeper look at the meaning of fashion and clothing designs within Nier: Automata. While there are deeper meanings connected with costume design, such as the feathers on 2B’s outfit, this is good start for those interested in exploring the character designs of this game.

-: The Girls of The Tower-The Unexplained Story of NieR Automata 

By UNKNOWN, a theory on the story of Nier: Automata. Sadly I think this has been mostly disproven at this point by post-game materials. It is none the less interesting to read and does represent a fruitful interpretation of in game events.

​-: Nier: Automata is a Brilliant Takedown of Drone Warfare and the Escalation of Conflict 

By Michelle Ehrhardt, a very interesting starting point for looking at Nier: Automata. Don’t let the title fool you though, it goes well beyond making comparisons between Androids/Machines and drone weapon systems. Highly recommended.

By Matthew Kim, is mostly a summary/consideration of Nier: Automata’s story.

-: What You Missed From Nier

-: Nier: Automata - Story Summary

-: The Meaning Behind Nier Automata Character Designs - 2B & YoRHa

By Peahnuts, these two videos discuss the specifics of the relationship between two of the main characters, and related elements, as well as the meaning in the costume design of the YoRHa Androids. Highly recommended.

-: NieR: Automata Analysis

By MisterCaption, a three hour video discussing Nier: Automata and most everything in it. While quite in depth, it does come from a newcomer to the series so there are some factual errors here and there, but I enjoyed the new perspective despite that.

Character Analysis Specific

Drakengard Opening and Alternate Opening

[mcrololo]

Can I get uhhhhhhh all questions you haven't done already

AHDJSDKKS; oh my god ok

1. describe your idea of a perfect dateThis is gonna sound really fucking cheesy but I’m down to do whatever as long as it’s with the one I like/love. Like you can take me fucking skydiving and I’d think it’s perfect just because I’m with my date. And if we die well at least we died together ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2. whats your “type”Uhhh, well, I’m a sucker for the ‘too kind for this world’ type. The Really Nice™. The Mom Friend™. Ya know. I also like blondes but that’s just a smol extra.

3. do you want kids?I don’t know. Sometimes I don’t, sometimes I do. It switches, usually when I think about babies. I don’t really like babies, but I love hanging out with kids and I would love to teach them about the good in the world. But you know what? I’m 21. I don’t need to decide that already. 

4. if you do, will you adopt or use some other form of child birth?I’m not pooping out a baby, I’ve heard too many horror stories. So it’s either adoption or my girlfriend’s going through hell (that’s up to her).

6. describe your experience having sex for the first time (were you nervous? or was it easy peasy?)LUKU DON’T LOOK OK. You’re too young for this.I don’t think anyone will ever not be nervous?? Like it’s completely new and especially gay sex is like ??? What the fuck do I do? They never explain that shit anywhere unless you go to specific places I guess. And as someone who has never had any interest in porn, I also didn’t look anything up. I was fucking nervous. I never know what I do and that sure as hell wasn’t an exception. And as a somewhat (at the time (I still sometimes am)) sex-repulsed graysexual, I also didn’t know how I felt about it. Now I like it, but I don’t really like talking about it, which is why I’m probably just rambling bullshit right now. 

7. are you a morning time gay or night time gay?Definitely night time. I hate mornings so much, I sometimes feel like throwing up when I wake up. It’s wild. 

8. opinion on nap dates?10/10, they’re great

9. opinion on brown eyes?BEAUTIFUL. Eyes are so expressive, no matter the color!

10. dog gay or cat gay?Dog gay (but also cat gay)

12. whats a turn off you look for before you start officially dating someoneClosedmindedness. If you don’t accept people for who they are, I got no business with you.

13. what is a misconception you had about lgb people before you realized you were one?I grew up with a gay parent, but for some reason for the majority of my childhood and teenage years I was convinced being gay was a choice. bruh.

14. what is a piece of advice you would give to your younger self“Just because your dad is gay, doesn’t mean you can’t be gay. It’s in your genes asshole. Also, stay focused on your friendships. They’re 1000% worth it and you’re gonna get something good out of it.” 

(skipping 15 ‘cause i’m a homo)

16. who is an ex you regret?I have one ex and I don’t regret anything. We’re still friends and I still enjoy her company. I’m really glad for that too, because things didn’t get weird and we don’t hate each others guts so that’s super chill. I support her.

17. night club gay or cafe gay?Cafe gay

18. who is one person you would “go straight” forI am an unstoppable gay force. My gayness will never run out and as much as I think some men are attractive, I will never be attracted to one. (no shade, I just never really feel that way about men??)

19. video game gay, book gay, or movie gay?FUCK no don’t make me choose between that?? I guess I should pick video game because I’m a game artist but?? Books and MOVIES MAN

20. favourite gay ship (canon or not)Uncovered & Sugarpunch ;) For real though, idk?? All gay ships are good

21. favourite gay youtuberHANNAH HART. I LOVE HER SO MUCH i wish i can meet her one day cause she introduced me to mens wear and im love??? ALSO SHE MAKES FOOD PUNS OK GOALS

22. have you ever unknowingly asked out a straight person?No, but my first crush was on a bi girl who was more into dudes, does that count? I was literally in love with that girl for two years dang

23. have you ever been in love?I mean, something’d be terribly wrong if I wasn’t. @shikariix​ and I are hitting the 3rd year anniversary next month lol

24. have you ever been heartbroken?You betcha. In more ways than one.

25. how do you determine if you want to be them or be with someoneI am a very simple gay who stays true to myself. If I see a person I like and it’s mutual, I am never letting go (unless, of course, they want to let go). I never think that I want to be someone else? Celine taught me a beautiful life lesson about being yourself, because that’s all you can ever be. 

27. what is a piece of advice you have for young / baby gaysGo out there. Explore. Experience. Learn! Have fun! You only got one life and it’s a shame if you can’t live it to the fullest. It’s okay to make mistakes and it’s okay to question things. You’ll find the answers and you’ll find yourself. Just keep looking. 

28. are you out? if so how did you come outOkay so I come out in the most ridiculous ways. I come out with puns. I joke about my sexuality a lot. Most of the times I actually don’t realize I’m outing myself because I assume people already know. Family friends who’ve known me since I was a baby have literally ALL said that they had always known, so that’s why I assume everyone knows I’m gay from day 1.

But coming out for the first time? FUCKING TRAIN WRECK. I was so fucking nervous. My dad was the first one I told and I almost couldn’t, but I don’t know why? He’s gay himself. My mom was even worse. She’s been hurt by my dad, of course, so her view on the whole gay community was whack. On top of that, she always had boyfriends who were anti-gay so I came out to her via facebook lmao. Couldn’t even tell it face to face. And she was so proud? Like, her whole view on gays kinda just switched, which isn’t entirely good but she’s learning and she’s so much more open now. My mom eventually told my grandparents because I was scared out of my mind, but two years later they took me in and a year later they also took in my girlfriend. 

My friends were all super chill ofc. Most of them also went like “I fucking knew it ya big ol’ tomboy lol”. 

29. what is the most uncomfortable / strange coming out experience you have So, about half a year after I came out as a lesbian, I also kind of discovered I don’t feel much, if any, sexual attraction. Most of the people I tell this are actually super chill about it and ask questions (which I’m fine with, because they’re also learning). But when I told my grandfather, he said “You’re young. You don’t know what you want”. And that fucking hurt. That literally struck me right in my core. I’ve always been a grandfather kid, I’ve always looked up to him, and then he goes and says that shit. 

He eventually learned too. “You’re never too old to learn” was one of the first sayings he’s taught me. I forgave him, and he accepted me. On a lighter note: the day after, I came home from school and my grandmother comes up to me to tell me all about asexuality. She said she’d looked it up and read all about it. I’m assuming my grandfather picked up on this too and that’s why he’s accepted it. I love my grandparents so much.

30. what is a piece of advice for people who may not be in a safe place to express their sexualityI honestly have no idea. I have no experience with that, because I came out as soon as I accepted myself (that took a long while, but hey). Make sure you surround yourself with people you CAN be yourself around. I know that’s probably shitty advice because you can’t just leave your folks behind or something, but it’s nice to have a few people who feel the same way. Someone you can talk to.
