Bucky took you in, it couldn't have been an easier decision. You reminded him of him, you weren't from Hydra or the Red Room, your parents were just normal scientists. Scientists that didn't have properly put up chemicals or properly locked rooms. You were just a child, one that didn't know better, but suddenly you had ingested some serum. A less potent super serum from what your parents told you, you weren't paying attention. You were a child after all, why would you pay attention?

"And this is James Buchanan Barnes," your parents had introduced you to him after your 18th birthday. You accidentally ripped the door to one of the rooms in the house clean off, you hadn’t meant to. You just were upset that you got stood up by your prom date and pulled it off.

"Hi, y/n," Bucky offered his hand to you, you knew about him. Having heard the stories and seen the news about The Winter Soldier.

"Hi, Mr. Barnes," you shook his hand, careful not to squeeze too tight.

"You can call me Bucky," he told you as your parents grabbed your bags. They had promised to send you the rest of your things to you in DC when they packed it, the plane ride from California to DC was not enough space for everything. "Are you ready?" He glanced between you and your parents.

"Yeah, I just gotta say goodbye," you told him and spun to face your parents.

"We love you, honey," your mom was the first to hug you.

"Have fun and be safe, ok, birdie?" Your dad hugged you and you nodded gently.

"I love both of you," you told them and took your bags.

✧°˖ . ݁˖︵‿❀‿︵˖ . ݁˖°✧

"Don't flirt with him," Bucky pointed at you, you raised your hands at him. You had been with him for years, he knew you enough to know Joaquín was your type.

"And if I do?" You challenged.

"Then I'll make you go back to 3am runs," Bucky raised his eyebrows at you.

"Woah, woah, woah, man, hey! Wait a minute, no need to be so harsh!" You were too busy yelling at Bucky to notice Sam and Joaquín walking in. Joaquín paused when he saw you, they had come to the gym to meet you and Bucky. Bucky was insistent that they meet you somewhere you were comfortable, and your level of comfortability was evident in how you dressed in only a sports bra and a pair of shorts.

"Harsh? It's called a punishment for a reason," Bucky laughed and you smacked his upper arm.

"Buck, are you being mean to your protege?" Sam laughed through his question, and you spun to face the two new comers. You paused when you saw Joaquín, you understood why Bucky was telling you to not flirt with him. Joaquín was exactly your type and the way his smile lit up his face.

"He's always mean to me," you recovered, knowing Bucky was already aware of your new crush.

✧°˖ . ݁˖︵‿❀‿︵˖ . ݁˖°✧

"What part of don't flirt with him got lost in translation?" Bucky watched as you moved around your room, getting ready for your date with Joaquín.

"He flirted with me first! Was I supposed to just let the embodiment of my dream guy just go?" You looked at Bucky.

"Yes! What if you need me?" Bucky told you, you knew he meant to malice to his words. You had just grown on him and he was worried about you.

"Bucky, I promise, if I need you I'll call. If I need you and I can't call, then I will have Joaquín call. And for whatever reason, neither of us can call, then I will make sure to struggle enough that my necklace alerts you," you walked towards Bucky as you spoke.

"And if Joaquín is the reason you need me?" Bucky asked and you laughed.

"You think that Joaquín Torres, the walking definition of a golden retriever boy, will hurt me? Especially knowing that I have you waiting for me and that Sam will make his life a living hell," you raised your eyebrow at him.

"I," Bucky met your eyes and you saw him give in. "Ok, go have fun, bee," Bucky ruffled your hair and you pushed your hair back into place.

✧°˖ . ݁˖︵‿❀‿︵˖ . ݁˖°✧

"Hi," you looked at Joaquín, he was standing at the door with flowers.

"Hi," Joaquín smiled at you and you two just stared at each other for a moments before Bucky fake coughed.

"Oh, uh, you can come in while I get these a vase," you told Joaquín but Bucky stopped you at the door.

"I'll take care of these, you two have fun," Bucky ushered you out the door and you and Joaquín made your way to his car.

✧°˖ . ݁˖︵‿❀‿︵˖ . ݁˖°✧

"If he hurts her," Bucky started his threats again but Sam cut him off.

"Shut it, man. They'll notice us," took his eyes off where you and Joaquín were walking in the park eating ice cream. You two had your arms linked together and leaning towards each other.

"I'm just saying," Bucky told Sam and you looked in their direction. Joaquín looked over to and you both just stared them down.

"You got us caught, man," Sam smacked Bucky and they both watched as you and Joaquín took off down the path away from them. Your laughter echoing back at them as if taunting them. That's when they both knew you two would be alright, even if it hurt Bucky watching you grow up just a little bit more.

Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I just read through your incredible zaunfam fic and??? It is perfection??? It goes above and beyond my wildest dreams! The family interactions are so fucking cute and heartfelt. I love it to bits and even if you never write another word it will still be my favorite.

Just sending you all the best wishes and thanks for sharing such a beautiful story! I cannot wait for you to shatter my heart with it!

I hope it’s ok I respond in public cus this is so nice — I love writing familial intimacy and bonding and am self therapy-ing by piling soft tlc onto baby Viktor. I’m gonna start doing slices of life in a side collection on ao3 / take requests here esp once Viktor gets older and I can’t just have Silco mother him 24/7 😭

Episode 12 under the cut.

Holy shit! I knew we were getting an MCI but this was intense and next episode seems even more intense.

Where do I even start? Mel? Javadi? McKay? I mean honestly truly where do I start?

Abbott, I’ll start with him, glad to see him back, and what an almost calming presence for Robby (who’s crash out is incoming) and just the quips about MASH and how quickly he was working. I really hope we see more of him, I know his actor is a guest star but man he’s so good.

Langdon is back! I swear Robby cannot catch a break today, but he needs him and it’s evident, also Mel? Ugh Mel getting excited, I hope Langdon gets a rehab story line and we see him back just for Mel. His call on the diabetic patient was so good.

Speaking of Mel! The blood donation to save Sylvia, her quick and calm thinking for the head laceration, she’s just phenomenal she’s truly my favorite on this show. I mean she was rocking and rolling, I love her.

Javadi, I loved how she was setting her mom straight, she’s been in the ER 11 hours and she’s got it. Learning to be creative in a fast paced environment like an ER? She’s got it. Telling her mom to shut the fuck up? Brilliant and McKay’s little smile, I love that so much for her. The creative approach just so good, especially the “a tube’s a tube” you tell ‘em girl.

Santos! While I’ve had little love for her this season, dropping the phone in the mop bucket just tickled me. Like as much as I give her shit, that was so satisfactory. Hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite her in the ass, because the guy was weird.

The scene with McKay’s ex coming down and watching her work and seeing her with new eyes. While I hope they don’t get back together because ew, I’m glad he saw her in action.

Mohan killing it. I love her dearly and she deserves all the praise in the world.

Kiara and Lupe up in the cafeteria, the QR code is so smart. Dana the ever calming badass presence, I love these ladies so much.

Our new doctors out in triage, I didn’t catch their names so check back with me later?

Finally, Robby, my dear sad eyed tired Robby.

I love Noah Wyle covered in blood just absolutely killing it in an ER that is crashing down around him, with the weight of the world on his shoulders, that is my favorite Noah.

Now that I’m done waxing poetic, with everything literally on fire around them he’s still teaching and supporting his staff, but that crash out holy shit is going to hit him like a train. I am hoping the preview for the next episode is just a fake out, I cannot handle it if Jake dies because goddamn let Robby catch a break.

Also WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE SHOOTER IS COMING TO THE HOSPITAL? No way we’re so calm about it like that…

Honorable mentions?

Mainly telling Collins to shut off her phone, knowing that was going to come bite them in the ass.

The night shift?! Ok! I’m ready to meet them.

Whitaker suggesting to send them up to the 8th floor but the fact they’re short nurses just ugh.

Fine Gloria I’ll be nice for now, thank you for supporting Robby… but that’s all I’ll say.

Our poor scalp lac hippie, guy is so right.

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for an answear on an ask about Harry being proud of his sexuality vs Louis being proud of his sexuality. I've read your answear over and over again. Because you made me feel so seen, so OK. Because you will never ever see me in a feather boa, but that doesn't make me less proud. Less queer. I hope the world will understand one day that we come in all shapes. And that's the fucking beauty of it. Thank you for standing up for Louis the way you did, but also, thank you for standing up for me and all the other queers just like myself!

Oh, Jenny, you just made me tear up. I don't even know which post you're talking about, but I'm so glad you felt seen. There are as many ways to express our queerness as there are queer people. You are absolutely perfect, just as you are. Sending you a big kiss.

@voidbeings, t'palia lodzhal: look at what we accomplished.

her words bring a smile to the captain's face — a genuine smile that alights excitement in his eyes. the achievements they've made as a crew are nothing short of remarkable. from exploring new worlds and discovering new civilizations, to scouring uncharted territories and facing impossible challenges — they had accomplished so much together. looking up from the console, he meets t'pala's gaze, lips curling into a smile as he nods in agreement with the sentiment. “it's quite remarkable, isn't it? to think of all we've accomplished... we've seen things that no one else has seen before, and we've done it all together.” he pauses, his mind drifting back to the many missions and adventures that had brought them to this point.

“let's take the moment to appreciate what we've accomplished, but let's also keep looking forward to what we have yet to achieve. together, as a crew, there's nothing we can't accomplish with the spirit of cooperation and determination.”

Wanted to doodle some comfort bros to balance out the angst of my recent posts lol

Hey pookies! Just wanted to say I really appreciate all the love and support I've been receiving lately for Decoded! I always love your comments/asks/fanart/memes, it genuinely has been bringing me so much joy and I'm so grateful for it <3

I know I said I had a lot of art to post (and then proceeded to post none of it LOL) I'm just a little overwhelmed rn with some life stuff so sorry for the wait! I also have a lot asks that I haven't gotten to and I apologize for that as well!

Trying my best to keep up, but I haven't had a lot of time recently. Art's gonna be a little delayed, but don't worry Chapter 8 is still gonna come out this Saturday as scheduled!

[ssreeder]

Hi, I sent an ask like 5 minutes ago but I'm not sure if it went through for certain reasons so if it did just ignore that,

I love your fic so much. One of my favourite things is the authors note, I love hearing your rambles and thought processes behind certain scenes,

And JEE💖💖

The jee lovers in the fandom are small but dedicated, I love that man.

Any situation of an older man reluctantly and unknowingly adopting a child they hate and growing soft for them I love, I could ramble on for hours about certain headcanons I have regarding jee and zuko for hours, I need more of them (AND HIM AND BATO (please don't kill them i need AT LEAST 1 queer couple to be happy in this fic🙏🙏))

Also another thing, I do fanart and I really want to do art for this fic but I have no idea which scene to do, is there any specific ones you would want art of?

HI HI HI HI HIIII!!

I didn’t get your five minute ago ask but I got this one!! ahhhhhh my shameful authors notes haha I am very unhinged in there, I think I black out and rub my face in the keyboard honestly.

JEE LOVERS UNITED WE STAND!!!! I adore his dislike of both zuko & sokka in the beginning and now he’s falling hard for sokkas uncle and has pretty much said if anything happens to these kids I’ll burn this bitch to the ground. Unfortunately, Jees situation is going to get a bit more complicated he just doesn’t realize it yet haha.

THERE IS A HAPPY QUEER COUPLE! *gestures at liab zuko* I mean they’re happy like…. some of the time haha. Ok ok I see your point but no promises because you know when I start blowing shit up in liab I can get a little crazy :D mwahahaha.

FAN ART FOR ME?!1?27,771!37/&/ YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE ME FERAL!!! ahhhhh honestly idk how to pick scenes im so bad at it i dont know what to choose but if you did wanna draw any scenes maybe any from ITF? Your fave or ones scenes you liked idk that’s my suggestion lol.

thanks for this amazing ask you’re a beautiful human thank you!

[val-of-the-north]

[littlekingbergara]
