⭒𖥸⭒

You whined when your nap got interrupted by the blarring alarm and constant repeating words 'code winter'.

Holding your hands over your ears you turned on your other side, expecting your daddy to lay beside you reading a book but frowned when you found his side of the bed empty.

Grabbing your stuffie you got up from your comfortable bed, making your way to the door and opening it slightly, peeking your head out.

You saw several agents and trainees running past your room, all seeming rather panicked and your little mind can't grasp the thought of there being a reason, or someone, for them being so scared, instead your curiosity got the best of you and you decided to go and look for yourself.

Meanwhile in the common area Steve was trying to console Bucky with Sam and Natasha behind him, aiming their weapons at him.

"Buck, come on, you know us-" Steve placed his shield down, trying to show he's no threat to the soldier.

"Steve! Look out!" Natasha shouted all three of them throw themselves to the side when the couch was being thrown their way.

Just as the soldier started approaching them he got send back by a repulsor shot from Tony who flied in just in time, in his iron man suit.

"That was a 2 thousand dollar couch, Terminator."

The soldier now grabbed the gun he had tucked in the waistband of his pants, aiming it at Tony when a small voice had them all turning their heads.

"Daddy...?" Your bottom lip trembling you held your stuffie close to your chest, not understanding why he was being mean to your aunt and uncles. "What you doin'?"

The soldier slowly made his way towards you, aiming his his gun straight at Steve when he took a step forward.

While walking to you the voice in his head he kept pushing away became even louder than before.

Do. Not. Hurt. Her. I dare you.

When he stood before you he tilted his head at the tear that was rolling down your cheek, his metal hand reaching up to wipe it away gently. In the deepest of his mind he knows you're no threat to him and picked you up with his metal arm placing you on his hip, his other hand still aiming the gun at the others to keep them at a good distance while walking out of the room.

The others all let out a sigh, still not at ease knowing the freaking Winter Soldier has you with him with no supervision.

"What are we gonna do now? If we step one foot in their room we'll have a bullet in our head." Sam said crossing his arms.

"He won't hurt her." Steve assured them.

"And how do you know that?" Tony laughed at him.

"I just know, alright. As much as the Winter Soldier wanted to, he couldn't. Bucky would never let that happen, even in this state."

"You better be right, Capsicle." Tony pointed a finger at him.

Back in your room, you were sitting on his lap, trying to analyze his expressions but there were none. Cold and dull eyes where staring at you, not the bright blue ones that you got used to and loved so much.

"You not daddy?" You asked, nervously playing with a lose seam of your stuffie.

When he shook his head you frowned a little. It confused you how he can be the Bucky you've known for years now but also doesn't at the same time. It's like talking to a clone, a much more colder one at that but still you can't help but feel safe in his arms.

The soldier doesn't like to see you upset, some inner part of him feels the need to comfort you in any way possible.

"Call me papa." He said with a russian accent and your face lit up at that, glad you didn't lost your caregiver completely.

You nod with a small smile, nuzzling your face in the crook of his neck, your interrupted nap now catching up with you.

"Love you, papa." You mumbled, yawning before finally closing your eyes again.

The soldier hummed in response, his metal hand rubbing subconsciously on your back and feeling your body relaxing against his.

Hi 👋

Love your writing so much!!

I just had a thought for First Crush!

What happens when Abby finds out about Buckys past? Is she scared of him? Does she comfort him? Does she run to uncle Steve making it even harder for Bucky cause why would anyone choose him when the golden boy is right there?!

I believe our girl would be confused at first but ultimately come around and reassure Buck cause she's too good for this world!!

If you can make something from this ask RUN WILD with it 😁

Hi, @nelachu2423 ! Thank you so much for this Ask! I had started a piece similar to this request. Abby is only 3, so she wouldn't really understand about Bucky's past as the Winter Soldier. She also never really thought about how his "pretty arm" is attached to his body. It was very traumatic when she found out.😭😭

True to his word, Bucky hasn't been taking as many risks on missions, or he hasn't returned as badly injured as he was that first time you started dating. Minor cuts and bruises you were ok with. If he's banged up too badly, you keep Abby away from him. She doesn't need to see him like that.

Summer was coming to a close. Soon the weather will be chilly with the coming of autumn, so Bucky and Steve had you and Abby out to the Compound for the weekend to enjoy the pool one last time. You and Bucky were relaxing poolside while Steve and Abby were splashing around the pool. Abby with her arm floaties kept telling Steve her muscles were bigger than his and she'd start flexing.

"Bucky! Come shim wit me!" Abby is kicking around the pool. Bucky gives you a kiss and gets up to join Steve and Abby. Bucky pulls his shirt over his head and you admire the ripple of muscles throughout his back. He dives into the pool and Abby claps for him. He resurfaces by Abby's side and surprised her. You hear her giggling as she grabs for Bucky when she sees his scars. Her brows tip down into a frown. "Bucky? W..what happen?" Her big eyes stare up at him.

Bucky was unprepared. He doesn't know what to say. Looking at Abby as her eyes fill with fear is like acid pumping through his heart. After everything he's survived, never before did he feel like his heart was breaking like this.

"Mama!" Abby's lip pucker into a frown, "Mama!" Abby starts to scream, turning to you, away from Bucky, "Mama, help!" Bucky quietly swims behind Abby, gently steering her towards you. She's sobbing uncontrollably now.

"Abby??" Your heart is in your throat. You jump in the pool, Abby is screaming & crying and Bucky looks destroyed. There no other way to describe him. Steve's close behind. What the fuck happened?? "Baby?" Bucky gives a last gentle push, releasing Abby to you.

"Help, Mama! Pwease!" You try to pull her to you but she turns to Bucky. "Bucky need helps!" She makes grabby hands to him & cries harder when he refuses to come to her. The desolate look doesn't leave his face.

"Abby, baby, Bucky is fine. Tell me what's wrong."

"B...Bucky have very bad hurts. Lookit! Help him. I no know what to do." Trying to wipe her tears a water from her face but her arm floaty prevents her. You wipe her face for her and she shakes you off. "Helps him."

Steve takes Abby from you but keeps close. You understand now & go over to Bucky. He gives you that Winter Soldier glare. Tensing up and trying to back away from you.

Softly, "Buck." You touch his arm and he stills. You slide your hand down, lacing your fingers with his & he squeezes hard. "Are you worried about these?" You lightly trail your fingertips over the scars.

"No! Don't hurt him!" Leaning away from Steve to stop your hands, "Stops it!"

You look into Bucky's storm blue eyes to see how he's handling this. "She's upset you got hurt. That's all." You cradle his cheek in your palm & he leans into it, squeezing his eyes shut.

His voice, rough and gravelly, "I thought..." You wrap Bucky in your arms. You hear his labored breathing and feel the frantic beating of his heart against your chest. Abby is still crying, but Steve has her. She's safe. Bucky needs you more in this moment.

"I know what you thought." You give him a soft smile. "She's only worried about you. She loves you." You place a kiss on his lips and he holds you tightly for a minute more before moving to Abby.

Steve hands Abby over to Bucky & she wraps her arm around his neck, crying. "Shhhh. I'm here. It's ok." He runs circles on her back to soothe her. Slowly her crying turns to hiccups. "It's ok, Abby. It happened a long long time ago."

"It not owie??"

"You never see my arm hurting me, right? It's just my regular arm to me." He hold out his arm, stretching and bending it. She hears the whisper of gears that she's become so accustomed to.

She reached out to touch it. The shiny gold, sparkling from the water and the sunlight. Between her hiccups, "I loves it so much. It so pretty." Bucky laughs and holds her close. "Did the bad people do that? I can fights them."

Interrupting to distract her from the bad people, "Excuse me. You are not allowed to fight anyone, Abigail."

"Sorry, Mama." Abby covers her mouth & leans towards Bucky's face, "Buts I can. I can fights them real hard." Her volume didn't change a bit. Your child hasn't got the hang of whispering yet.

"I can still hear you, Abigail Rose!" She cackles between hiccups & hugs Bucky. And that's how she is for the better part of the day. You all play in the pool and enjoy a little BBQ, but Abby doesn't let Bucky stray to far from her.

Bucky couldn't bear the thought of Abby being afraid of him. Of thinking of him as a monster. As the Winter Soldier. But that wasn't the case at all. This 3 year old offered to fight HYDRA for hurting him. His past was a bridge you'd have to cross in the future, but not right now.

Just thinking about them….the wilson’s and uncle “winter soldier” 🥹😭❤️

[kayvsworld]

thoughts on the winter soldier seemingly being back? i just want my happy bonki, why can't they let him be retired at a lakehouse with a cat and some lambs 😭

THRILLED TO SEE HIM, BEWILDERED that i am seeing him. in the context that i am seeing him in. where is sam what is going on

last time we saw bonky he was basking in the sunset being a cool cake-bringing uncle why does his hair look like that why is he doing winter soldier things. why has he gone from lovingly polishing his hand to shoving his entire arm into a dishwasher. that man should be chopping up vegetables in a kitchen in louisiana he should be doing boat repair why won't they let him rest

[babyhatesreality]

I'm sick rn :( and just in pain 😭 so maybe thier baby is sick when they are on a Mission while she is by uncle tony and how would he handle it when she just cries for her daddies her daddies come back when she's asleep and comfort her after she wakes up

Oh man. I can FEEL Steve and Bucky's heartbreak just thinking about this...I hope you feel better soon darling!! Lots of water and rest. Sending you comforting hugs and healing vibes <3

They'd been gone a week with Natasha and Clint, working to bring in rogue Hydra agents, when they got a call from Tony.

You all got to Facetime every night, so at first they just thought it was another call.

But when they saw Tony cradling you in his arms and your red and teary eyes pop up on the screen, both of their hearts stopped.

Tony explained that you'd come down with a cold, and were feeling feverish and achy.

They both ached to hold you in their own arms and comfort you when you were so obviously feeling miserable.

Steve, of course, the family hypochondriac, immediately grilled Tony about every possible symptom and the timeline of everything.

Tony had taken you to Dr. Cho, as Bruce was currently in Wakanda with Shuri working on the tech to bring back any other brainwashed Hydra soldiers. He hadn't known at the time about your...caution with Dr. Cho, and it had been an interesting visit to say the least.

You clung to Tony like velcro the entire time. He also was pretty sure you didn't blink once when Dr. Cho was in the room, which just added to your misery of scratchy and tired eyes.

"I don't gotta get a shot, right Unca Tony?" you had asked in a whisper when Dr. Cho left the room to get some medicine for you.

"No shot, shortstack," Tony had confirmed. You immediately relaxed, but buried your face in his chest as you were still feeling lousy.

Tony described the decongestant and cough syrup to Steve in patient detail, when you burst into the conversation.

"Coughy syrup yucky," you grumbled.

"I know baby, but you gotta listen to Uncle Tony and take it. You understand?"

"Don't wanna, Papa."

"I know you don't. But the more you take that syrup, the better you'll feel when we get home. Okay?"

"You come home now, please?" you asked quietly, putting your little hand up on the screen, touching their pictures.

Tony could hear both their hearts shatter from across the globe.

"Soon, baby, we promise," Bucky croaked out, grabbing Steve's hand off camera for support. "We'll be home before you know it."

"That's a promise," Steve said in a husky voice. You just nodded and turned your face back into Tony's chest.

Two important things happened that night after that call.

The first was that Tony didn't put you down all night. He carried you around the complex, rocking you, telling you stories, comforting you, even singing a little ACDC to you to help keep you calm and relaxed.

The second was that World War Hydra was unleashed and won, all in a single night. With their stamina, strength, and the image of you needing them in their heads, Captain America and the Winter Soldier tore through the secret Hydra base and eliminated or captured every single threat. For every one member than Natasha or Clint brought down, they brought down five. The entire battle was over before Hydra even knew they were there.

Natasha flew home as fast as she could, refusing to let Steve fly as he was clearly still in an over-emotional state. But she pushed it to the absolutely max that she safely could.

It was five am when Steve and Bucky made it to the Stark floor of the Tower. JARVIS had alerted Tony of their homecoming, and they went straight to you.

Tony gently put you in Steve's arms while Bucky hovered nervously.

And in your sleep, you sighed and smiled.

Even though you were fast asleep, you still knew they had come home to you. Just like they promised.

[musette22]

Is it just me or do Steve/Bucky give off major Girldad!Energy? I'm sure they would be wonderful parents to a son as well and would raise their boy to be a good, kind and respectful young man. But there is something overwhelmingly sweet and adorable and just otherworldly about them having a daughter.

Holding their sweet baby girl in their arms for the first time and pledging to raise a strong woman. Having the most fun buying all sorts of floral dresses for her, playing dress and tea parties and allowing her to put makeup on them. I'm sure they panic when she has womanly issues until Natasha hits them over the head and tells them to get over it and they have a long conversation with their daughter (like that episode in Modern Family with Mitch, Cam and Lily) and Bucky would try using his reputation as the Winter Soldier to threaten her first boyfriend and Steve would have to hold him back. Going dress shopping with her for prom and tearing up when they see her all dolled up. Maybe Bucky tries teaching her how dance and it turns into a family dance session. Maybe she learns ballet and Steve and Bucky go to everu recital and bring her flowers every time.

Stucky with kids always gives me the fuzzies but Stucky with a daughter overwhelms me 💖

Oh NO 😭 This has absolutely destroyed me, thank you very much 💔💔💔 Pleeeaaaaseee, I want them to have this so so so bad (if kids is something they'd want, of course) 🥺

They'd make brilliant girl dads, I have absolutely no doubt about it. Everything you're describing here sounds so wonderful and so them, I love it ❤️ I'm sure I've read a few kid fics in which they were raising a little girl, although I can't think of any titles off the top of my head, and it's always made me feel so unbelievably soft 🥹 I always adore the idea of all the Avengers being the girl's honorary aunts and uncles, too, and UGH, Steve and Bucky being so loving and supportive of their little girl's passions and hobbies 💘 I can 100% see it. Love this, darling, thank you so much sharing this gorgeous headcanon! 💫

He strives to prove himself via helping others, often shouldering burdens that others shy away from for the sake of getting things done without forcing those around him to suffer discomfort.

Former Hobbies: Did archery in his youth. Doesn't have time for it anymore, but it should be obvious why he's a sniper now.

TRIVIA

The name Emiel can mean "to strive, excel, rival, emulating", Scholten refers to a schout (government official that handled administration of justice), and de Ridder means "the knight".

His callsign Nightfall is in reference to his preference to work in the dark – both literally and figuratively. It's also a play on the phrase "lights out", since his work is best described as "putting people to sleep." (Because he's an assassin-type. Get it?)

Took interest in guitar shortly after he turned six, right before his mom died. He didn't play for years after her death, but decided to pick it up again as a young adult.

Greatly resembles his father and the other men on his paternal side. He's been described as having his mother's eyes and some of her "softer" features, though. Absolutely built like a brick wall.

Jokes about having a lot of experience, has slept with maybe 3 people in his entire life – and, none since his capture in 2017. He's willing to date, but is incredibly reserved after that incident. He desperately needs someone who can ground him.

Much like his sister, he skipped a year in primary school, which is why he graduated at 17 despite attending a VWO school.

His prosthetic hand is primarily made of titanium! It's also detachable so, yes, he will throw it at someone when they ask him to give them a hand with something.

Can and will sleep whenever and wherever is available. It's not uncommon to find him dozing off in a corner, on a couch, or even on top of a wall that he's scaled. He never sleeps hard, so it's easy to wake him up.

Is a very occasional smoker. Petra hounds him over it, so he only smokes when he's not at risk of getting caught by her. He's very health-conscious, otherwise!

TATTOOS

source 1 source 2

Tattoo One (Right Arm) A full sleeve blackwork tattoo with sun, celestial, and water themes. The sun is often seen as a symbol of life, light, warmth, power, positivity, and clarity. The celestials of the night sky can represent the unknown, mystery, the unconscious mind, and one's own deepest thoughts, desires, and fears. It can also be seen as an introspective and reflective symbol. Water, similarly to the sun, is seen as a universal representation of life, with other symbols including depth, ephemerality, sadness, purification, hope, and rejuvenation.

Tattoo Two (Left Shoulder) A compass, much like his sister! The symbolism is fairly obvious, no? Guidance, direction, the interconnected nature of every direction. The compass can serve as a reminder that one is free to choose the course of their life, or to help them find the path again after losing their way. It can also be seen as a symbol of awakening and self discovery for these very same reasons.

BACKGROUND

⋆ CW: themes of child abuse, torture, violence, and overall mary sue levels of tragedy

Born on September 17, 1993 in the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands, to Hendrik Scholten de Ridder and Johanna Scholten de Ridder, Emiel had a normal – if not privileged, thanks to his family's prominent histories – early childhood. From birth, he had a close relationship with his older sister, Mylène, who he quickly came to rely on for guidance and support.

In the late fall of 1999, when Emiel was only 6 years old, his mother was killed by enemies of his father originally seeking to hold her and the children hostage for ransom. This event, paired with the traumas he sustained over his years in the military, drove his father to "near insanity" as he became consumed with paranoia and grief. The rest of his and his sister's adolescence was defined by the trauma of his father's abuse; he subjected the siblings to rigorous physical and psychological training in order to mold them into "perfect soldiers" and prevent any further loss.

Despite this, his father was publicly viewed as a war hero. He would often leave the two alone when he was on deployment, forcing Mylène to care for herself and Emiel with nothing more than a roof over their heads and grocery money provided. The siblings developed an unbreakable bond during this time that would extend into their adulthoods, rendering them a synergic duo both at home and in the field, with Emiel promising to repay his sister for her efforts someday.

After finishing secondary school at 17, Emiel enlisted in the Royal Netherlands Army, serving in the Regiment Huzaren van Boreel in the 11 Air Assault Brigade. He also studied at the University of Amsterdam – taking online classes – and frequently visited his sister during her time in the 400 Medical Battalion, eventually graduating with a BA in Intelligence Studies. He spent 3 years participating in air assault and armored reconnaissance operations before passing selection for the Korps Commandotroepen in 2014, wherein he was quickly recognized for his natural skills in anything covert.

Specializing in sniper techniques, prime target elimination, VIP protection, demolitions, and sabotage, Emiel established himself as an elite operative who excels in hostile areas and hazardous environments. His exceptional accuracy and uncanny proficiency when operating in the shadows eventually earned him the nickname "Nightfall".

In early 2015, Nightfall joined his sister – now a KCT lieutenant nicknamed "Petra" – Captain Price of the British SAS, and Nikolai in an unsanctioned operation to kill or capture Chimera after the latter was discovered to be a traitor. The small team managed to track the Colonel and his supporters to a base deep in the Alps, where they successfully wiped out the entire group and killed Chimera. After the mission, much like his sister, Nightfall felt indebted to Price.

From then on, he continued to carry out covert and overt operations worldwide. Sometime in the next year, Nightfall managed to wipe out an entire base of Al-Qatala soldiers in one night without a single alarm being raised. The sole survivor referred to him as "The Reaper" when describing him, as he hunted every enemy whilst cloaked in darkness. Nightfall was later awarded the Military William Order, the Bronze Lion, and the Cross of Merit for both this operation and his following work within the KCT, establishing himself – or rather, his marksmanship – as a minor legend within the elite commando corps.

Another year later, around mid-2017, however, Nightfall was assigned to a unit led by Captain Price and Petra, tasked with infiltrating and securing an Al-Qatala base located in Kastovia. He served as the team’s scout sniper and overwatch during the mission, until he lost contact with the rest of the team. When the rest of the team finally reached his location to investigate, several IEDs planted in the area went off and forced the group to retreat. Despite his sister's attempts to rescue him, Nightfall was declared dead in absentia after demolition teams failed to locate his body the following day.

In reality, Nightfall was alive, being held as a prisoner of war by Al-Qatala’s commanders. The explosions caused him to lose one of his hands and left his face scarred. For the next two and a half years, Nightfall was interrogated, tortured, and subjected to inhumane conditions while imprisoned in Eastern Europe, though he still tried to support and protect the other POWs in the prison, regardless of which side they supported or whether they were civilian or military.

About a month after the formation of Task Force 141, CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell pinpointed the location of a prison in Georgia believed to be used by Al-Qatala to hold POWs. Reconnaissance of the prison confirmed this and the identity of several of the prisoners; Nightfall was identified as one of the POWs. His sister, leading an elite KCT unit, raided the location shortly thereafter, securing the captives, Nightfall, and intel about Al-Qatala's plans.

Following his rescue and intensive recovery in the hospital, Nightfall was deployed in Verdansk alongside other Coalition operatives under Armistice, where he relentlessly worked to prove himself once more.

As a valuable ally to the 141 and a near-fabled assassin with a long list of confirmed kills and countless unconfirmed, Nightfall has pledged his life and his very conscious to his work, his only saving grace being the characteristic pitch black masks obscuring his face every time he appears in the field – on the rare occasion he's visible, that is.

That " uncle winter soldier" made me tear up🥲😭✨

Omg full version!!!

[vulqan]

OKAY i am off work so here we go FINALE THOUGHTS

⋆ i had Thoughts and Feelings on Sam as Cap while i was watching the episode (& during prior episodes as well, really), but after considering it & reading what’s been put out in the tag after the finale, i’ve ultimately changed my mind on wanting Sam to have his own superhero identity outside of Captain America. this show fought incredibly hard to show the way Black people have been (and still are) treated in America, & i think they handled it in a way that acknowledges that racism isn’t ✨magically over✨ now that Sam’s bearing the name. i love the design of Sam’s new Cap/Falcon hybrid suit, although i wish they’d gone with a majority-red design as a throwback to the Falcon suit. there were so many moments in the fight scenes where i just had to sit back & be like “Wow. That’s Captain America.” 😭💖 i’m always going to miss Steve and hate what they did to his character in Endgame, but Sam deserves the hell out of this.

⋆ making Sharon the Power Broker was lazy as HELL. they telegraphed it so hard we all saw it coming from the moment she was re-introduced as a character. i would, in theory, have been fine with this choice if they hadn’t made it blatantly fucking obvious that that’s who she was; a little subtlety goes a long way (although this show doesn’t really do subtle, does it?).

⋆ when i was scrolling through the tag right after watching the episode, i saw someone who said something about wishing they’d given Bucky the “White Wolf” title & while i love that and would die for that eventually, i think that would have taken focus from Sam & his accomplishments & i’m okay with him just…reclaiming the Winter Soldier title. TWS can be a scary robot-armed man with a brain to back it up, okay??

⋆ can i just. the moment with Mr. Nakajima at the end. Bucky getting emotional. I’M getting emotional. WHAT the fuck. i'll have more thoughts on this eventually i am SO SURE.

⋆ along that line of thought, THE FUCKING COOKOUT. HIM PLAYING WITH THE KIDS ON THE WAY IN WITH THE CAKE. HIM JUST CASUALLY DANGLING LIKE THREE KIDS OFF OF HIS FUCKIN ARM AT THE END. HELLO???? HELLO. I LOVE UNCLE BUCKY. i deadass yelled at the screen "ARE U FUCKIN KIDDING ME" 💀

⋆ can we just talk about how the US government is probably experimenting on the bodies of Karli & every single fuckin one of the super soldiers that were blown up at the end of the episode?? like, realistically. there’s no way they just said “oh these have no further use to us now, let’s just bury em”. like, no, they absolutely have them in some nasty-ass lab somewhere trying to recreate the serum again. you know they are, i know they are, i want to read fic about how they are & how hard they're gonna get fucked over because of it lmfao.

⋆ NOT impressed with how the Flag Smashers' arc was handled in this show. i'm just not. i didn't connect with Karli as a character at all, i know they had some shit cut for time/because of Covid but like, respectfully, i don't care, do better. their arc could have been SO GOOD. i LOVE a sympathetic "villain".

⋆ leaving the Power Broker storyline open...cool. fine, like i said, i think having Sharon be the Power Broker (at least in the way that they did it) was boring and lazy. so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i probably won't be watching if they decide to do any kind of spinoff anything with her.

⋆ this is still a john walker hate blog 💖

[everythingissoboring]

Uncle winter soldier 😭😭😭😭 they're the guncles

finally found the deleted scene

[enchantedbarnes]

Uncle Winter Soldier 😭

UNCLE WINTER SOLDIERRR

"How's Sarah. She ask about me?"

[darke15]

Hello again, love! 🖤

��🖤🖤

Sam 🥰

SAMMMMMMMMM

First instance of Ghost’s fighting pattern (right, left, uppercut, kick) and it makes me want to get a punching bag

One of the few things I started and kept doing throughout Aftermath 😅

I love the way Ghost’s reactions to her memories sometimes bleeds through and she ends up talking out loud, it feels authentic and accurate and I like it a lot, really ties the past and present together

Yessssssssss 

“You’re gonna be somethin’ one day.” He beamed, the corners of his lips curling as a long plume of smoke floated from his nostrils. He took a step forward, swirling his beer and blowing a smoke ring into the air before turning to you, “Everybody’s gonna know your name.”

The parallels between Uncle Tim and Commander Weston 😭

😭😭😭 she’s lost almost all her father figures

I missed Steve calling the Apple store Banana on my first read-through, that’s great lol

Lol 🤣 new addition that I thought was funny 

Sam!! I love Sam and Ghost’s first interaction, the instant mutual respect and branch-dogging, it’s so accurate! I’m a military brat, my dad was Air Force, and it just feels so authentic to the interactions I’ve seen and had over the years and I appreciate that a lot.

Yay! I don’t have anybody close to me in the military so I’ve been hoping I’ve been doing it all justice

The way Ghost is instantly in, I love her

She’s psychotic and I love her for it 

— “You could get past security into the Pentagon with those.” — — “I know.” You sent him a wink, “I could take over the country if I really, really wanted to.” — — Turner raised a brow, “You’d better be careful, (F/N). With great power—” — — “Comes a lotta fun,” Danny said, kicking back in his seat with a smirk, “When you take over, I’ll be your right-hand man, mi amor.” —

THEY’RE SO HAPPY 😭😭😭

Don’t remind me 😭

Danny 😭😭😭 okay imma be real I kinda fell in love with Danny throughout this fic and part of me refuses to believe he voluntarily became the Wraith (and if that’s spoilers for anyone, get off my post and go read Aftermath)

I love Danny so freakin’ much it hurts

Another accuracy thing I really like: Ghost puts on her service cap when she’s outside and removes it as soon as she enters the building. I may not be military myself, but I was a daddy’s girl growing up and I copied him in everything I could, including this. Still can’t wear a hat indoors without it feeling uncomfortable lol

Yes! I’m so glad I did something a little bit right 

The way Ghost smoothly lies her way through the gate is so impressive! I will say though, I always found Natasha’s reaction kinda odd. I guess it makes sense that she’d be on high alert for possible threats, but part of me feels like she’d be more happy that Ghost has this hidden talent of lying. Idk though, maybe that’s just me wanting to be best friends with Black Widow 😂 it comes later, so I’m happy regardless!

I always thought it made a little bit of sense, here’s why... 

Nat and Steve just found out that Hydra is still around. She’s also found out that the Winter Soldier is in town (if you’ve read The Red Room you’d find out that he’s the one who trained her) so she has bits of her past coming back to haunt her. 

Not only that, everyone that she thought were her friends weren’t. They were working for Hydra all along. 

So, if we put that all together and look at Ghost in this instance we get a couple of things. 

Natasha knows that Ghost is a former Marine, a mechanic, and a sniper. 

No where in there does it say she’s 

A: Good at lying 

Or 

B: Knows how to infiltrate and manipulate. 

If you put what Natasha has been through in CA:TWS plus a new revelation about Ghost…you might get a little bit of paranoia. 

Especially if Natasha knows she can’t trust anyone. She does says, after all…

“Everyone we know is trying to kill us...”

THE FIRST RULE!!!

YESSSSSSSSSSS

Okay so from this we learn that the List wasn’t made official/Ghost didn’t start keeping track until at least after 16

I wouldn’t say she wasn’t keeping track then, there’s another flashback later on of her and Turner taking notes with while Weston is lecturing them…I also may have found a rule you missed 😏

Also I wonder what situation this was? With Danny and Turner locked up and Ghost sailing in to rescue them, I love it.

One of their first missions, it wasn’t going v well

A gritted snarl snapped through your throat, “Now, where the hell is the EXO-7 Falcon harness?” He licked his lips, pointing into the vault, “Straight down. On the left.” “Get your ass in here and help me.” You glared at him, keeping a dark look on your face as he rushed past you before it dropped into a smug grin. You still had it.

I love this. Everything about this. Perfection. Has me grinning every time.

I love her attitude so much 

AHHHH what an amazing chapter! Loved every second of it. The rest of my reread might go a little slow, I really wanted to get to this one to find the new rules (!!!)

Yay! Thank you so much!

Rereading Aftermath

This is just an Aftermath fanblog now, sorry not sorry. (Fic by @darke15 )

CHAPTER ONE

First thing I notice? Ghost has DEFINITELY been experimented on. Something's enhanced her, and I'm not sure what yet.

When fighting a chitauri: "It moved inhumanely fast as it slashed downwards with its staff, but you were a touch faster."

After falling off a tall building: "Your body was sore and some bones were definitely broken, but you didn’t stop." (Ghost is running and fighting throughout)

Also, Ghost gets hit in the chest with an energy blast and doesn't die. Some of this I could attribute to really, really good SHIELD tac suit, but definitely not all. Our girl is enhanced for sure.

Also, Ghost is a total badass and I love her.

[minitonies]

Aaahh!!! It was when i first made this account, when I got into Stony and the marvel universe, i just followed random accounts i could find and I remember seeing it in my feed at one point and I said "well shit that is a good story right there" and i scrolled .

And a few months ago out of nowhere i was just "hey....whatever happened to that mini one-shot of Steve losing Tony because he didn't tell Tony about his parents? Something about D/s and Steve was the sub" so i started looking for it EVERYWHERE and couldn't find it.

Then I kinda gave up until I checked your rec/masterlist because i wanted to see your other stories and there it was ....i actually teared up a little bit when I found it, i had hoped that just like w mermaid au and the Stroganoff au you had expanded it and wrote more but you didn't 😭

And I was in an angsty mood and was like "WHAT IF.. . Tony just .... DOESN'T forgive Steve....like at all... not every story has to have a happy ending .... 👀 so what if they just don't get back together.... (i am a die hard team Iron Man so....) like the others can risk themselves and go beg Tony to help Steve and/or forgive him OR to stop being stubborn/ selfish and take Steve back but Tony just puts his foot down and tells them to fuck off unless they wanna go back to the Raft and to stop bothering him. Because they aren't signing the accords either way so....

And then one day Bucky just shows up in Tony's workshop...like unannounced, out of no where and asks him if it's because of him that he won't help Steve, because Stevie is just getting worse and worse and he feels guilty

Telling Tony that there is nothing going on between him and Steve and that Tony shouldn't worry or think of Steve being unfaithful to Tony while he was looking for Bucky

To which Tony just answers "It's a lot more complicated than that" and Bucky is already there so he asks Tony to explain because he wants to find a solution and have Steve get better

Tony begins with telling him that during Ultron, when Tony and Bruce created the 'murder bot', Steve had been pissed, talking about how the team keeps secrets from him, when Steve himself was keeping the biggest secret, the truth of Howard and Maria Stark's deaths truth, from Tony.

Tony could see how much Steve missed Bucky and couldn't forgive himself for "letting Bucky fall" (as Steve would say), and if the sub had told him from the very beginning that his bestfriend was alive, been taken captive, tortured and brainwashed for 70 years, THAT WILLINGLY, CONSCIOUSLY, James Buchanan Barnes, the man Steve always talked about, would never EVER, kill someone, Tony would of done everything posible to help Steve get his best friend back

But he didn't, Steve didn't trust him enough to even MENTION that Bucky Barnes was alive, that the mission in DC was more than the downfall of S.H.I.E.L.D./Hydra infiltrating. Steve being battered up and hurt and in the hospital for days, was all because the Winter Soldier.

Something about it being classified. It was all because Steve didn't trust him.

Then he tells Bucky that he can't blame him for what happened to his parents, because he understands what it is like to be kidnapped and tortured dor long periods of time. Being brainwashed and forced to do terrible things against your will, it wasn't his fault. While it does hurt to see his parents murderer in front of him, he does not see the Winter Soldier, he sees Bucky Barnes, prisoner of war, one of his heroes (because yes Peggy and occasionally Howard did talk about uncle Bucky) someone who has been through hell standing before him and not the weapon Hydra made out of him.

He isn't worried about infidelity, because he knows Steve would never be unfaithful.

But he can't forgive Steve for keeping the truth from him. And what is the point of taking Steve back, repairing the bond if there was no trust between them to begin with? So no, Tony doesn't budge.

And defeated, Bucky turns around and leaves

I looked for you 'How to Lose a Dom' AU for months and low and behold you fucking wrote it.

Ngl i wouldn't mind a sad ending, because Tony does in fact have EVERY right to break a bond with someone who not only lied, but also didn't trust them enough to ask for help. And as I always say, THIS INVOLVES TONY GREATLY BECAUSE THESE ARE HIS PARENTS AND HE DESERVED TO KNOW!

Tony ignoring Nat, Sam and EVERYONE who comes begging for him to go back to Steve because THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND the betrayal of having your own sub lie and not trust you while wearing something (collar) that represents your love and devotion to them.

100% for team Tony not giving in to their begging to go to Steve and forgiving him

Awww, you forgot I wrote that au? And you call yourself my wife :( Can’t even remember the stuff your own wife writes anymore. I see I’m not loved. 

Bloodthirsty little thing, aren’t you? You came here dragging the anger and angst and didn’t hold back. 

I can see that. Tony just not giving in, especially when it’s not even Steve himself asking for help, it’s his teammates, already letting him know Steve isn’t willing to fight, choosing instead to suffer over them trying to salvage anything. 

The ball is in Steve’s court and he’s not touching it. Says enough. A bond will be a hellava thing to break, but it is doable. Albeit, at the cost of the sub suffering the most out of the two.
