Friendly reminder that you probably shouldn’t make assumptions about other people’s headcanons/muse’s abilities just so your muse can seem like the “smart guy” with all the answers. Because... it’s not your muse or your headcanons, therefore, you’re probably wrong.

my opinion on;

character in general: I mentioned this earlier but James Buchanan Barnes is the love of my entire goddamn life. Both MCU and 616 Bucky are absolutely incredible just as humans. He’s supportive and attentive and incredible and he doesn’t let the world ruin him. He doesn’t become the villain they want him to naturally be. He shakes the program and does his best to do g o o d and that’s just so inspiring for me. And not only is it inspiring for irl, it’s also inspiring for a number of characters. Reading back to some of the older comics has given me a deep appreciation for Bucky because he’s a lot of the reason that nat is the way she is. Not even just because of their relationship in the comics, but because he showed her you don’t have to be made bitter by your past. She grows to have so much faith in him and to appreciate him so much and he shows her that maybe the red room is wrong and maybe love isn’t the worst thing in the world. He helps her learn and grow and he supports her in that and I just think that’s amazing. He shows her that even the strongest people have doubts, like when he was asked to take up the shield, and it was suddenly her chance to unconditionally love and support him and I just think that Bucky Barnes needs more time in the spotlight in the MCU because he’s i n c r e d i b l e.how they play them:  H o l y s h i t I love them. I think Sam just has a way with every muse or something because I have never read anything of sams that felt out of character or that I didn’t like. And I read a lot of Sam’s stuff in passing, but specifically on Bucky, I think there’s that inner turmoil that’s so elegantly captured, those doubts and fear, but I think the one thing that really got me, among the antagonizing and nat just being a brat because she doesn’t believe in babying people who don’t need to be treated like glass, among all of that, what got me were the details. Specifically, what grabbed my attention was the way it was mentioned that Bucky listens to each component of the music rather than just the piece as a whole and that just kind of struck me. It struck me as something that I need to think about for nat, those minor details that just solidify your understanding of a muse, but it made me realize just how much Sam puts into her muses. I’m absolutely amazed. completely incredible. the mun: I mean this parts a little bit obvious if you read the last part but I do adore Sam. So incredibly kind, loving, attentive, always checks up on me if she knows I’m having a bad day. We’ve had so many conversations just loving on muses, on a certain third party, on just everything and I just appreciate the positivity and love that just radiates off of Sam.  Such a sweetheart and someone I would truly consider a friend. <3

do i;

follow them: I’m pretty sure I follow on all her blogsrp with them: I do indeedwant to rp with them: always I love reading sams replies, even if I am really slow sometimesship their character with mine:  maybe if we can get her to stop prodding him like this, don’t worry she’s about to go and apologize to him and it’ll be a step in a lighter direction but hey at least the fact that he shot her is out of the way

what is my;

overall opinion: love. one of my favorite people on this site. a true friend. an incredible bucky. 10/10 would recommend.  @gxfttomankind

“And here I thought I was the stoic one,” Steve replied, returning the smirk with one of his own. “Hard to read. Poker face.” It was a joke. Even Steve knew he was about as far away from keeping a poker face as anyone could be. He tended to wear his emotions on his sleeve. 

     “But really, I didn’t mean to give you a LOOK. Unless you did drink the last of the coffee… then you DESERVE a look.” 

          In Bucky’s defence, he really did TRY not to laugh. But the thought of Steve being stoic and hard to read was just a bit too much. He snorted, shaking his head slightly at he looked over at the other man. “Yeah... okay. I would KILL to see you try and play poker,” he teased, smirking over at him. 

          Rolling his eyes, Bucky reached BEHIND himself and pulled the half full coffee pot off the warmer. “Still PLENTY left, don’t worry.”

We had a thing with Bucky and Steve. It wasn’t plotted or anything, though, so if you want to drop we can.

Nope. Haven’t dropped anything... just scatterbrained and forget to track them, which is why I ask people to take a look to let me know if I’ve missed things.

        She had NOTHING to say in response, just a smile that was a little too smug, not nearly hesitant enough. To say she had a death wish would have been accurate, but she didn’t expect to die by his hand, it just meant she treated this situations a little less cautiously than she perhaps SHOULD have.

        It’s a few HOURS before she gets back, going about her business for a bit before going to find him and APOLOGIZE.

          She clearly wanted to make a POINT, but the point she was going to eventually wind up making was that once a monster, ALWAYS a monster. He didn’t trust himself. The others clearly didn’t trust him EITHER. And she was pushing every button she could find. He didn’t have the patience or desire to put up with anyone’s GAMES.

          He waited for about two minutes before the agents swooped in and picked him up, easily TURNING and taking him back to the compound. He retreated to his quarters, settling into a hammock chair to read and IGNORE the rest of the world.

“Oh no no, I’m nothing like Rogers- I don’t go fighting everyone on two legs” He joked in amusement and enjoyed picking on Steve whenever he could. He practically melted against Bucky’s touches to his hair and just being close to the man. He felt butterflies in his stomach as Bucky’s lips grazed his temple, he loved it when they were this soft with each other and it made Tony realize how much he cared for the man and how much he truly wanted this to be so much more. 

“I remember Peggy telling me stories of the time Steve first tried to talk to her. Leave it to Capsicule for being able to motivate a whole nation but heavens forbid he could properly talk to the person he likes” He chuckled and leaned into the cool metal and made a soft noise as he slipped his eyes shut. Yup, he was gone for the man, the ship has sailed and Tony felt his lips tug into a small genuine smile that was only reserved for a select few. 

“I know but you know me…I just wanted to give you a gift…” he had other reasons to wanting to give Bucky gifts, shower him in things and luxury and he wasn’t going to dwell on that any longer when the mentions of pasta made him perk up, “Pasta?? count me in! come on Bucky Bear” his smiled brighten when he leaned forward and pressed a shy peck on his lips. 

          Bucky couldn’t help but CHUCKLE at the insistence that Tony was nothing like Steve. He may not be running around challenging just about anyone to a fight, but despite what a LOT of people assume about the man, he’s not the best at talking to people. Especially in situations like this. 

          Biting back a groan at the memory of what Steve had told him about one of his first conversations with Peggy, Bucky just SHOOK his head. “Yeah.. that was... typical Steve,” he admitted with a chuckle. “Not that YOU are doing a whole lot better, Mr. Hides Away From People Instead of Talking to Them.” He grinned, bumping his nose against Tony’s temple gently.

          Smiling softly when Tony admitted that he wanted to give him a gift, Bucky just shook his head again. It was a COMMON reaction to the other man. “You know that I don’t need anything,” he reminded him gently, brushing his fingers across his cheek lightly. Grinning when Tony PERKED up at the mention of food, Bucky chuckled, rolling his eyes slightly at the nickname. “That stays down here where NO ONE else can hear it,” he groaned teasingly, leaning in and stealing another soft kiss from the other man before stepping back and taking his hand to lead him back upstairs.

Tony almost ran when he heard Bucky chuckle, okay so maybe it was a bit comical and he sent his bots a glare that held no heat and before he could hide for the next twenty years he felt himself be pulled closer to the other and he immediately wrapped his arms around Bucky’s waist. “Um..no, maybe-yes..” He pouted and grimaced as he thought back on the past few days and yes he may have avoided Bucky when he was trying to think on how to ask the man out, officially. 

“I’m sorry, didn’t mean to avoid you-wanted to give you something special. I know we’re not officially together and this is me officially asking? want to make it Facebook official?” His cheeks darken and he ducked his face, that once smooth and suave Tony Stark was no where to be seen at that moment and he opted to bury his face in Bucky’s shoulder. 

At the mention of food his stomach decided to growl and he remembered he hadn’t eaten in may possibly be two days and he flushed deeper that the tip of his ears turned pick. “I wanted this to be special” he whined and pulled back to show how embarrassed he was. He bit his lips and looked down at his feet and mumbled, “food sounds good right now” he looked a bit dejected as he leaned forward and leaned against Bucky’s body once again. 

          It was hard to try and HIDE his smile as Tony responded by wrapping his arms around his waist and Bucky gently tightened his grip on him. It wasn’t like they hadn’t been CLOSE physically before, but it was nice to know they could have it like this, not just when they’re both super exhausted. Chuckling quietly again, Bucky just SHOOK his head, hugging him snugly against his chest. “Maybe, yes, huh?” he teased gently, fingers skating LIGHTLY along Tony’s spine as he hummed quietly.

          Bucky smiled, shaking his head again as Tony explained WHY he had been avoiding him. His brows furrowed in confusion at the request to make it “Facebook official”, but it was MOSTLY forgotten about when Tony pressed into his shoulder. He turned his head, nosing against the side of his head gently, fingers moving along the back of his neck and into his hair. “You’re almost as BAD as Stevie used to be,” he teased gently, lips grazing against Tony’s temple. “But, I guess you’re still able to form REAL words, so that’s a good start.”

          Looking over Tony’s reddened face as he pulled back to WHINE, Bucky cupped cool metal digits against his warm cheek. “Who says this ISN’T special? I mean... considering how this all STARTED? Seems pretty par for the course for us, doesn’t it?” he pointed out, nosing against the other man again before kissing the top of his head. “Come on... I’ve got a new PASTA recipe I’ve been wanting to try.”

         He knew that the day was supposed to be SPECIAL. But, usually special for couples. He really wasn't sure if that actually APPLIED to them. He and Tony had been skirting around each other while randomly coming together and spending the sort of time together some people --fuck you, Steve --might call INTIMATE, with falling asleep together on the couch or Bucky (sometimes literally) dragging the other man out of his lab to make sure he ate and rested. But, he didn't know if that actually made them a COUPLE.

         And Tony seemed to be almost avoided him. Which wasn't HELPING. Bucky would never actually admit to it, but he was stressing out about it. It just seemed weird to be getting so close only to find the other avoiding him with a day like this so close.

         Finally, he couldn't really TAKE it anymore. He didn't have a plan. He didn't know if he needed one or not, but he didn't think spending the day completely ALONE sounded like any fun at all. Even if they just stayed down in the lab away from everyone else, Bucky would be okay with that. He just didn't want to feel like he was being avoided anymore.

         Watching as the other man was PACING almost anxiously in his lab, Bucky frowned quietly. He slipped inside, opening his mouth to say something when the bots PUSHED Tony around and directly into him. Bucky's arms came around him protectively without a second thought, offering him a SHEEPISH and confused smile. "Uh, he----"

         Cut off by practically being YELLED at, Bucky just blinked in surprise, staring down at the other man. Then he couldn't help but LAUGH, not loudly, but a little chuckle did escape. "Is THAT why you've been avoiding me the past couple days?" he asked gently, reaching out and gently tugging Tony back towards himself. "I mean... I'm not really SURE what that really means, but if it means you stop avoiding me and maybe even let me make you something to eat? Then, yes..."

‘Oh.’ { GAZE lowered towards fingers; dictionary filling in the blanks as Bucky spoke, ( his own file stating clearly that he had aversions to an invasion of privacy. ) Something he’d read in a rush before while trying to remember vital information. It was reassuring to know he wasn’t the only one sometimes, and yet he also wasn’t sure what to do now. } ‘I didn’t know….’ { Should he have DONE? Sucking in a breath; he nodded andscurried to pick up his plush. ( A thing that couldn’t refuse him, choosing to pet it and become the infamous fly on the wall. ) He could easily pretend not to be there. He’d had much practice. }

          “It’s okay. I NEVER told you, so you couldn’t have known,” Bucky points out gently, shaking his head slightly. He watches as the other moves to retrieve the STUFFED animal that he tends to have with him most of the time. He smiles softly, watching as Val holds onto it and pets it, reaching out and gently running his fingers THROUGH the other man’s hair. “It’s okay, Val... you didn’t do anything WRONG,” he assures him quietly. “Some days I just find people touching me to be a little TOO much for my mind to take.”

cxpt:

It wasn’t like it was the first time some guy had actually smiled at him. Living in the city it was something that tended to happen more times than not. Even more so because he tended to join his fellow lawyers when they went out to clubs. It wasn’t something he’d ever allowed himself to smile back, to think of anything other than the job. He was supposed to be away from all of that and maybe being out in the country would actually allow him to enjoy some of the things he refused to do in the city. Or maybe not. Steve wasn’t certain. He was still that type A personality that had to be in control of everything and this vacation was definitely going to put him to the test. Hopefully he could pass it to his doctors satisfaction. If not? It wasn’t something he wanted to think about.

Looking back out the front of the store, he knew he’d made it to the town in time. Though a part of him couldn’t help but wonder what it would’ve been like in the city. “The grid of the city streets makes it easy to find my way around in a storm. Out there? Doesn’t really seem to be laid out the same,” he told the other, shrugging his shoulders. As long as he could get out to the house before the storm hit, Steve knew he’d be fine. It was just getting out there that was the problem. He wouldn’t let the lack of control get to him. This was something he needed to let go if he was going to survive.

“Thanks,” was all he could say, not even certain he could say anything more. A complete stranger was actually offering to help him out and he didn’t know what he could say to all of that. It was a stark contrast to the city that was for sure. “And that car out there isn’t a rental. It’s actually mine and it’ll handle most weather,” Steve added, trying not to sound offended. So being from the city was going to be something he’d be dealing with the whole month he was going to be there. It shouldn’t offended him as much as it did but just because he was from the city didn’t mean he couldn’t deal with some weather. “But I won’t turn down an offer of being dug out of the snow if it gets too bad. I don’t think mine was meant for feet of snow.” Plus it would give him a chance to see this guy again. He knew it was stupid to become attached to people he wouldn’t ever see again but something about this guy had him wanting to see him again. Which meant so much trouble should he actually get snowed into the house.

And there it was; the one thing he’d been waiting on. Even though it was said in a teasing manner, he knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Though how was he supposed to explain it? A forced holiday would make it sound like he had something wrong with him. Technically he did, of course, but he didn’t want that out in the world. Not to a complete group of strangers. “My coworkers decided I needed a holiday and set all of this up,” he told the other, again offering a strange smile. It was close to the truth but not the exact truth. Steve was determined to keep all of this from these strangers. If what he’d been told about small towns was true all it would take was one person knowing and the whole damn town would. “I just wasn’t expecting people to be friendly. I mean in Brooklyn everyone tends to help everyone else out but in Manhattan? It’s everyone for themselves,” he explained, hoping it would enlighten them to the world he’d come from. All of this may have been strange to him but he was trying to find a way of fitting in. Even if he was there for a short time, he needed to fit in as best he could.

         Bucky glanced outside to the parking lot, snorting at the thought of a town like this being laid out like the CITY. "Definitely not... city's laid out to be effective at getting a bunch of people crammed into as small a space as POSSIBLE. Out here? We need the room. For ourselves and for farms and animals," he pointed out, shrugging his shoulder slightly. It was laid out in a way that made sense if you were from here. If not, maybe not so much. Which made this time of year a really STRANGE time to come out for a vacation or whatever. One good storm could have you stuck somewhere for hours to days.

         Ducking his head slightly at the OFFENDED tone that the other seemed to be trying to hide as he talked about his car, Bucky shot a quick grin over at his friend behind the cash desk. People around here got offended if you insulted their TRUCKS. Cars... not so much. "Yeah... I'm sure that she'll handle a plowed and sanded CITY road just fine," he mused in a casual drawl, eyes twinkling a little with mischief. Out here, though, your vehicle often had to contend with UNTOUCHED roads unless you were fine sitting around until the plows made it out your way.

         Catching the SHIFT in his smile, Bucky bit the inside of his cheek. Clearly he'd managed to touch a nerve. Or at least a topic the other did NOT want to discuss. "Nice of 'em. Maybe next time they decide to give you a nice SURPRISE, they can wait until you have some decent weather, yeah?" he offered noncomittally, making it clear that he didn't care much one way or the other WHY the other man was out there. It wasn't any of his business. "Fair... we don't get much of that "every man for himself" kinda mentality out here. Not enough of us and nothin' to GAIN by not looking out for each other. So, hopefully you'll find that a nice CHANGE while you're here."

“What look? There’s no look. I do not have a look.” Steve turned toward the window behind him, glancing at his reflection to make certain he didn’t have the look that Bucky was accusing him of having. “See? No look.” 

He paused, and then, “Are you feeling GUILTY? Is that why you think I have a look?”

          “Yeah... there was a LOOK. You always get a look when you think I’ve done something like took the last of the coffee before you could get to it,” Bucky drawled casually, smirking at the other man. The fact that he had CHECKED was just hilarious. “Yes... there was a look. Trust me.”

ironiati:

Seeing that small smirk play on Bucky’s face made him brighten, honestly all had seen on the man were frowns and pressed lips but he felt himself start to smile until he mentioned his strengths and that smirk, however small it was disappeared and quickly rushed to make it right without realizing his mouth to brain filter was way off, “I meant that I kinda want to get you, Rogers and Point Break to do a lifting contest, preferably without shirts on. ya know for science”

It was too late to stop himself and he groaned in embarrassment, “or the floor can swallow me up now” he mumbled and pushed aside whatever dark thoughts he had and solely focused on Bucky. Barnes didn’t deserve to have his issues dump on him knowing he had enough shit to deal with and Tony wouldn’t do that to the other.

He watched Bucky move to stand and he scrambled to sit up, leaning forward and reaching out to place a hand on his arm, stopping him from leaving. Tony had a small smile on his lips and he said in a light tone, “Thank you…really Bucky, For what it’s worth…I’m glad it was you” there he finally stood and turned to head back to his lab. Before he turned the corner he stopped and glanced back at Bucky and disappeared.

“for what’s it worth i’m glad it was you?? what the…when did I get sappy?!” He mumbled in surprise and shook his head.

          A lifting contest? With their shirts off? Bucky decided to NOT think too much about that because that wasn’t a path he was ready to go down just yet. So, he pushed it aside as he kept moving to stand up.

          Flinching slightly at the UNEXPECTED hand on his arm, Bucky snapped his head around to look over at the other man. He was tense, but froze, since that was CLEARLY Tony’s objective. He wasn’t really sure what to make of what the man said next. “Uh... anytime?” he offered with a CONFUSED frown. Naturally, he assumed that it wouldn’t be happening again.

          He watched the other man leave, then went back to his room to finish meditating and actually sleep for a little while. He then went to the gym and hung out with the others for a bit. He told himself his noticing Tony’s absence wasn’t ANYTHING special. It was just an observation. Only that. Right?

          It was THREE days before he let it finally get to him. Feeling a little stupid, he stood in the common living room, checking to be sure that he was truly alone, before talking to the damn CEILING, asking where Tony was. The voice responded that he’d been in his lab since they’d parted ways a few days ago. Which just made Bucky frown. That was stupid. He shouldn’t care. He DIDN’T care. But, he was still heading down to the other man’s lab, knowing that it was his private space and not caring.

          Frowning slightly, he tried the door, a bit SURPRISED to find it unlocked and had a sneaking suspicion that maybe that little computer wired into the compound might have given him a little help on that one. Slipping into the lab, he cleared his through LOUDLY so Tony wouldn’t get the shock of him appearing SILENTLY at his side since he had yet to break the habit of moving without making a sound. Stepping closer, he frowned slightly at he looked the other man over.

          “You can’t stay down here FOREVER, you know... you need to eat. And sleep.”
