#5, sambucky, (for the send-you-a-ship ask game)

Hi!! From this ask meme

5: things you didn't say at all

Some pre-relationship pinning

"This suit is too tight," Sam griped as he turned in the mirror again to examine the way the material pulled across the back of his thighs.

Bucky didn't think this was an issue, but he understood why Sam took offense to the fit. He'd learned over the past year that Sam was something of a man of taste and he liked to look a certain way. Bucky, on the other hand, thought Sam looked good in damn well everything.

"We don't exactly have time to go find a new one," Bucky pointed out drily. Because he couldn't actually say any of that. He wasn't allowed to and he was too chickenshit to do it anyway. He heaved himself off of the couch and came over to Sam. He took Sam's hand in his and gently did up the cufflink he was struggling with. "The sooner you get this taken care of, the sooner you can take it back off."

"Don't sound so eager, Barnes," Sam teased. There was still something of an irritated edge to his voice but he looked up at Bucky and his eyes weren't so tight. Bucky wanted to brush away the lingering stress line at the corner of his eye.

"Everything is going to be fine," Bucky repeated for the umpteenth time. He tilted Sam's face up with two fingers and reached over his shoulders to smooth, first, the collar of his suit coat, then the lapels. Sam shivered and Bucky made a note to hand him a jacket when he walked out the door. "You're Sam fucking Wilson. You're gonna go out there, charm every one of those bureaucratic assholes, then we'll go out for ramen after. I'll pay for that ginormous bowl you like."

Sam snorted softly and rolled his eyes. "Why aren't you going again?" he asked, fiddling with the hem of Bucky's t-shirt. They were so close, Bucky almost felt like he should stop breathing.

"I'm on the shitlist again," he reminded Sam. "The whole ferrying statuses and reports to Wakanda instead of the government."

"Right, right," Sam agreed, like he'd actually forgotten that. Like some of his intel wasn't what Bucky had been passing on. He let go of Bucky's shirt and looked up at him.

They were very close.

Bucky stared, because Sam knew he did that, but he didn't let himself look down at Sam's mouth. Kept his eyes on Sam's eyes, on his cheekbones, on the scrape at his hairline that had started this breakdown about how presentable he was. He opened his mouth to say anything at all--You look amazing tonight, Sam--but his blinking stuttered and his breath stuttered, and the moment passed in those squandered milliseconds.

Sam stepped away, glanced at himself one more time, and sighed. "I'm Sam fucking Wilson," he repeated with a sure nod.

Bucky got their comm pieces from the table by the door and held Sam's out as he fit his own in his ear. "I'll be listening in all night. You say the word, I'll be there. Even if it's not a fight. Even if you just need someone to cause a scene so you can sit in a bathroom for a few minutes."

For the first time in almost two hours, Sam smiled. "Maybe I just wanna see that."

"I can put on a show for you here tonight. Ramen and entertainment. Never say I'm a bad date, Wilson."

Sam rolled his eyes fondly. "There won't be any fine glass or uptight suits here. It wouldn't be the same."

"No, you're right," Bucky agreed. Taking a breath, he asked, "You good to go?"

Sam nodded and started to head for the door. Bucky caught his wrist suddenly and Sam turned around, into Bucky's chest.

"Sorry, I just thought...I bought you this," Bucky mumbled, eyes darting away from Sam's now, now that they were close again and Sam was looking at him, bright eyed and curious.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. Inside was a lapel pin, designed like Sam's wings with delicate muted colors. "In case you need to remember just who the hell you are," he said with a shy kind of grin. "Do you mind?"

Sam shook his head and Bucky quickly fastened the pin. He certainly used the moment to smooth his lapels again. "There you go, Cap."

Sam's fingers came up to the pin, but he didn't look away from Bucky. "Thanks, Buck," he breathed. "Anything else before I leave?"

Bucky broke and looked at Sam's mouth. He couldn't stop himself. Again, the air stuttered through his chest and his lips moved without any sound.

Yes. A thousand things. How handsome he was. How well he'd do tonight. That Bucky really didn't get how he could eat that much ramen in one sitting. That he really wanted to kiss Sam right then but he didn't want to stress him out more.

"No," he finally breathed. "You're good to go. Take your coat."

Sam stared for a second longer, but nodded. He took a step back as he let go of the pin. "I'll keep you updated but I won't be able to talk much."

"I know," Bucky assured. "I've got failsafes in place."

"Of course you do." Sam squeezed Bucky's shoulder and then he was gone, out the door and down the hotel hallway.

"You do look really good tonight," Bucky said to absolutely no one.

Sam x Bucky

Pride kisses week two day fifteen : good morning kiss

Soft Sambucky ♡ haven't seen the fatws, so I don't know much about the kids ages

Sam woke to the bright sun shining in his face and the smell of bacon. He pushed the covers off, sitting up to rub at his eyes. He wasn't ready to start the day just yet, but he couldn't ignore the grumbling of his stomach.

He stood, stretching his arms, the cold immediately biting at his bare skin. He tugged on his sweatpants, that were discarded sometime in the night. His bare feet patted quietly against the floor as he followed the smell of food to the kitchen.

The sight before him had him pausing. A soft smile slipped onto his lips as he stared lovingly. Bucky was standing at the stove, one hand resting against his hip while the other was holding a spatula flipping pancakes. His hair had grown long again, currently pulled back into a bun. The scene was so domestic, Bucky humming to old rock music as he cooked.

Sam stepped up behind him, wrapping his arms around Bucky's waist. He pressed a kiss to the corner of Bucky's jaw. "Good morning."

Buck turned, catching Sam's lips. "Good morning." He whispered against Sam's mouth. His own lips curling into a smile. "Breakfast is about done."

Sam was tempted to steal another kiss, and he eagerly did so. He patted Bucky's hip as he pulled away. "Sounds like a good way to start our day off. Sarah asked if we could watch the kids today, if that's fine? Was thinking about taking them to that new aquarium downtown."

Buck sat a plate of food in front of Sam, then sat down across from him. He shrugged, a small smile on his lips. "Sounds fun. Could get lunch after at the diner down there too."

A warm feeling settled in Sam's chest. "Alright, I'll give Sarah a call after breakfast." The two continued to eat, a peaceful silence falling over them.

~

After breakfast, Sam had called Sarah, and not long after, the kids were there. Bucky helped Sam get them in the car and buckled up. Sam drove as Bucky kept the kids entertained.

Soon, they were pulling into the aquarium. Each of them taking a kids' hand. The two little ones were beyond excited, jumping up and down. AJ held tightly to Bucky's hand, babbling excitedly about what he wanted to see.

"Will there be sharks, Uncle Sam?" Cass asked, looking at Sam with wide eyes.

He laughed, shrugging his shoulders. "There might be. But don't worry, they won't do anything to you, kiddo."

They made their way inside (Bucky paying for them). They started at the smaller fish tanks. The kids eagerly pulled the two men along as they pointed out the different fish. Excitedly telling them which ones they liked (all of them).

The next exhibition was the touch exhibit. The kids laughed happily as they got to touch the different shells and even starfish. Hearing their happy giggles made Bucky's chest fill with a fuzzy feeling. It felt nice.

They continued through the different exhibits, eventually reaching the tunnel walk through. The kids were ecstatic as they watched the small sharks swimming above them.

"Uncle Sam, Uncle Bucky, there's sharks! Look! Look!" They tugged at their hands, pointing up as they jumped about.

The two men laughed and nodded. "We see 'em kiddo. Look, there are stingrays too." Sam pointed towards it, the kids laughing with joy.

~

They finished up at the aquarium and gift shop. Then stopped at the diner close by. They ate and had milkshakes before the kids began getting tired.

"I'm sleepy, Uncle Buck." Cass mumbled, leaning against him. Buck picked the kid up with ease. Sam doing the same with AJ. They got the two boys buckled back in before heading towards Sarah's.

After arriving at Sarah's, they took the boys in and tucked them into bed. It felt very domestic to Bucky. He found himself enjoying the experience.

They told Sarah bye as she thanked them. Not long later, they were back in the car headed home.

Bucky's hand was entwined with Sam's. Bucky rubbed the back of Sam's hand with his thumb as the other man drove. Tomorrow, they'd be back to work, but for now, it was just them. Just Bucky enjoying the time he had with Sam in that moment.

[r4inyclouds]

Hold on-...

CRAPPP, MY ARTWORK AUTOCORRECTED!!

How'd it even go from Bucky to Becky??

Sighhhh, guess I gotta live with it

"I am Jamie Becky Barnes, and you are apart of my efforts to make ammends."

(Or, otherwise known as, Jamie 'Becky' Rebecca Barnes, Becky Barnes, or, of course Becky)

I wanted to draw a beefy butch lesbian (bisexual?) leave me be and my growing amounts of genderswaps, I'm pansexual I SWEAR.

More for just some rambles:

Can't tell if I still like Bucky more. But like, UGHHHH, SHE'S ACTUALLY SUCH A NEED IM SORRY. But no, I guess they're equal? That's such a difficult decision. Idk just wanted to feed the lesbians looking for scraps and me I guess.

I shoved my head into the pillow and screamed because I decided to put this on my WhatsApp status and my dad replied "😍"... This is actual bullyin' at this point he's been blabberin' on about my Sebastian stan obsession since he accidentally found out apparently, and how I have 'good taste'...

Curse the neurodivergent adhd parents and their constant need to fester and see me suffer, pay your bills.

Sorry that went a little off topic. Ignore me, I'm just as bad.

Alright, name time! This name was probably discovered before since either so easy and simple but I feel accomplished for once, shush.

So, obviously, Becky from Bucky, just changin' a vowel, you know, the jist.

Jamie, from James, how lovely. I can't remember if Jamie is gender neutral or even from around the 40s nor do I care, I think... It does seem quite feminine to me though... now for personal reasons still questionin' the name. But. Eh.

Rebecca, from Becky. Not much to say on that.

Anyway, please tell me you can tell I love drawin' hair because I do; I would jork to it if I could. So hair? Hair, hair hair. With me, genderswapping is when you just make a character a different label that would fit the norm of that label, which is female, though, when you think about it if you were genderswapped, you'd still have the same mindset as the other version, you'd Identify more with that version and then therefore get dysphoria and act more masculine, maybe become male. I used to hate genderswaps because of that, but I was just thinking too much into it, so I'll have my fun. Anyway, tangent there, but what I was getting to is that I will make the hair longer for women genderswaps just to give the effect, no matter if it was already considered long. So, which is why She has the extremely long hair in Thunderbolts and Winter Soldier, because to men his hair was long, so to women her hair must also be long.

And I also just NEEDED to see her in a grown out pixie cut so tfaws was a great excuse to do that.

Anyway, stucky shipper, sambucky shipper... but I'm still quite not over stucky at all so I focus on them mostly, and honestly, I will draw them preferably my next post as both genderswapped because... NEED PLEASE BOOBA AAAAAAAHHHHHH.

[wenellyb]

Can I vent in your askbox a little?

As a fan of both BNW and Thunderbolts, I’m kind of tired how the fanbases of these two movies are tearing each other down.

Like, it’s fine to only like one of them, prefer one over the other (I probably prefer Thunderbolts a little, because the underlying message about mental health and the importance of a support system really resonated with me), but do we need to attack the other movie, or the actors in it, or the fans over it?

Can’t we enjoy what we enjoy without having to bash the likes and interests of others?

I’m not even talking about, like, marketing, because if Marvel did advertise Thunderbolts more than BNW (I saw the same amount, but I’m not looking at marketing if that makes sense so I genuinely don’t know) then that is valid to point out, but can we do that without declaring the movie and it’s fans as bad?

This is why I left MCU fandom after Endgame, and seeing how it’s apparently getting worse, I guess I’ll go back to just blocking all the tags because this is honestly exhausting.

Sorry for the vent, but every time I open this godforsaken app, I’m bombarded with “BNW too woke!!” or “All Thunderbolts fans are racist, actually!!” and it’s always argued in bad faith, and it’s… so much.

Hi Anon!!!!! Venting is always always allowed in my ask box!

Funny enough, I made a comment on a post that kind of explains the perspective from Sambucky/ Sam Wilson fans, I'll just link it here even though it's not directly what your ask is about.

Anyway, I get that fandom discourse can get tiring after a while and why you would feel the need to step away from some time.

SHIPPING INFO

answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog.

tagged by: stolen from the fy page

tagging: whomever wants to honestly, might be useful?

what’s your OTP for your muse(s)?

I don't do OTPs, I do ATP ( all true pairings ). No, but all kidding aside, the big 3 are thunderstorm ( ororo ), warhammer ( sif ), and thundershield ( steve ). But I stand by the notion that anything can be an OTP if the vibes are good <3

what are you willing to RP when it comes to shipping?

The limit does not exist. AUs, beaten-to-death tropes, impossible scenarios but also the in-betweens? Heck yes.

how large does the age gap have to be to make it uncomfortable?

--- stares into the camera like on the office --- The man is getting there in age... Physically/visually mid 30's, so anyone that is that or above is peachy.

are you selective when shipping?

Quite. Just because I can see it, or feel that it would work, doesn't mean he does. More often than not we are NOT on the same page so we are both careful and selective when it comes to shipping.

how far do steamy moments have to go before they’re considered NSFW?

If it gets debauched in talks or acts past idk first base then the tags will be added. Varies from suggestive to nsfw though, depending on what is happening.

who are other muses you ship your muse with?

In my mind? So many. Actively? Depends greatly on the interactions and what is happening, at the moment not that many.

does one have to ask to ship with you?

We need talks yes, absolutely. I need to know clearly where muns and muses stand on things. Whether the potential is there really depends highly on chemistry between everyone involved, IC and OC, and definitely depends from muse to muse. Not every character is the same.

how often do you like to ship?

Depends on the vibes, alignment of the stars, how cooperative he is, etc and so forth. I enjoy all sorts of connection, shipping is not on the forefront of my mind at all.

are you multiship?

Yes.

are you ship obsessed or ship more-or-less?

When it comes to fics, art, within fandom? Obsessed. In rps it's a different story, depends really on partners. As mentioned in my rules, I match freaks, IC and OOC, so feed me bs and you will get truckloads of bs in return <3

what is your favorite ship in your current fandom?

Funnily enough not one involving my own muse, but man am I ride or die for winterwidow and sambucky at the moment like??? So much heart eyes. This is mostly due to awesome roleplayers.

finally, how does one ship with you?

Talk to me <3 that's pretty much it. I don't need a powerpoint presentation why you think it would work, but if you DO have one?? I'll grab my popcorn and bounce off with you regarding the dynamic for sure.

What Could You Have Me Do For MTH 2023?

I am participating again in Marvel Trumps Hate! I have two different auctions:

1074

2040

These two auctions are offering the same thing. I will make a fic for you that could be of any of these ships:

Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson - MCU

Joaquín Torres/Sam Wilson - MCU

Bucky Barnes/Joaquín Torres/Sam Wilson - MCU

Riley/Sam Wilson - MCU

Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson - MCU

Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson - MCU

Natasha Romanov/Sam Wilson - MCU

Bucky Barnes/Natasha Romanov/Sam Wilson - MCU

I am open to other Sam Wilson ships, but please DM me first to see if I'll write a fic for that particular ship. The bid will start at 500 words at $5. Each additional $5 will add 500 words ie:

$5 - 500 words $10 - 1K words $15 - 1.5K words

The increase in words along with the $5 increases will continue until it hits 10k words, which will be the cap.

What Could You Ask Me For?

You can skim through my fics on my Table of Contents, but a lot of what I do is thoughtful dives into canon compliance like BuckyQuest or Back in the Gulf, fantastical AUs like If We Are Celestial Bodies or His Wingless Stranger, or romcom AUs like A No Snow Christmas or My Best Friend's Brother.

Some possible suggestions? You could ask me for:

A fic based on your favorite romcom! A SamBucky 27 Dresses AU? A SamSteve Ghosted AU? A SamNat 10 Things I Hate About You AU? A Samquin Runaway Bride AU? Count me in!

A fun AU that you think would be cool! A SamRiley Rival Bakers AU? A SamBucky Private Eye Chasing After an Art Thief AU? An AllCaps Royal Fantasy AU? A Samquin Wing Fic? Love it!

Something within canon, perhaps? SamBuckyNat on the run? SamSteve first night together after they meet in CATWS? SamRiley before Riley's death? SamBucky hanging out together on the boat? Samquin realizing their feelings after working together as Cap and Falcon? Definitely in my wheelhouse!

Those are just some examples of what you could ask from me. Definitely check out my MTH auctions as well as the variety of other amazing auctions they have!

Hi! Sambucky + #6, pretty please?

thanks for the ask <3 #6: things you said under the stars and in the grass (from this list)

There's a firefly within reaching distance, so it shouldn't be any surprise to Bucky that Sam automatically reaches up towards it.

He doesn't catch it like Bucky expects him to, like Bucky'd seen him do with Cass and AJ on warm summer nights down in Delacroix, but just lets his hands hover a few inches away until it blinks off outward into the night. Sam's arms fall back down to his stomach.

"You know how a lot of people get seasick when they're lying out on a boat?" Sam asks, a tinge of melancholy in his voice that doesn't match the lazy haze of the night. He doesn't look over to see if Bucky nods, but he does anyway. "Sometimes I think I've got the opposite of that. Watching the stars from solid ground feels wrong in a way I can't really explain."

They'd been in upstate New York for entirely too long, training some of the new kids at the compound to teach them how to work as a team, along with Sam training Joaquín on some of the more advanced techniques with the wings. Bucky's even starting to feel a little homesick for Delacroix, for the allure of Sarah's living room couch, so he can't imagine how much Sam must miss it.

"I heard Cass won his little league game last night," Bucky says, knowing both that talking about his nephews tends to take Sam's mind off of things and that the reminder that Bucky texts Sarah on occasion now might be enough to playful irritate the melancholy away for a while.

Sam huffs a laugh out of his nose and turns his head to look at Bucky, his eyebrow raised. "Man, what did I tell you about talking to my sister?"

Bucky makes an exaggerated show of putting his hands behind his head and getting comfortable, keeping his gaze fixed on the sky above him. "No flirting involved, I swear," he says in a cheeky voice that implies the exact opposite. He's fully aware Sam knows any amount of flirting with Sarah is playful by now, a fun way for both of them to tease Sam considering how obvious it is to everyone around that Bucky's got it bad for Sam himself.

They haven't really crossed any lines on that front yet, even though Bucky's almost positive it's mutual, but they both know they're driving towards it at a pretty steady pace.

Sam reaches over and pushes him gently, and Bucky makes an even bigger show of lurching to the side. "Ignoring the fact that you were absolutely flirting with my sister, yeah, Cass did win his little league game last night. They're going to some kind of tournament in NOLA next week, and he spent like an hour on FaceTime with me last night telling me about all of the stuff he's planning to pack and all of the places he wants to go visit while they're already in town."

Sam smiles to himself with that soft, sweet smile that always makes Bucky's heart flutter in his chest before his grin drops just enough to notice if you're looking.

Bucky's always looking.

"He asked me if I could go watch him and I told him I'd try, but it feels like just about every day there's something new to teach the kids or some new urgent mission to fly out to. Sarah said she'd tape the whole thing for me, but it's still not the same, you know?"

Perhaps bringing up the baseball game wasn't Bucky's best move, he thinks.

Sam sighs and rolls back over on his back for just a moment before pushing himself upright and standing up, lightly brushing off his shorts. "We should probably head inside. Gettin' kinda late, and we have kids to teach tomorrow."

There's a grumpy retort about having to teach these new overpowered children on the tip of Bucky's tongue, but he holds it back and just shakes his head. "You go ahead. I'll catch up soon."

Sam's eyebrows knit together, but he doesn't press. "Night, Buck. Sleep tight."

"Night, Sammy," he replies softly, when Sam's a little too far away to hear.

He fishes his phone out of his pocket and notes the late hour, but he figures Sharon's probably still up, so he dials her number anyways.

"You know business hours don't extend till eleven PM, right, Bucky?" she asks in lieu of a hello.

He thinks about teasing her about her time running a nightclub in the midst of a stolen art selling operation that definitely stayed open past normal business hours, but he decides against it. "Hey, Sharon? Any way that Sam could get this weekend off? Cass has a baseball game."

She hums. "You willing to tag in if the world catches fire?"

Bucky looks off in the direction that Sam had walked off in. "For Sam? Always."

GET TO KNOW YOUR MUTUALS

Thank you to @whitedarkmoonflower for the tag! 💜

Since the post is very long, answers under the cut

What's the origin of your blog title? Let's open by saying that this was not the nickname I have used from the start. My original nickname was "WinterStorm", a ship name me and my best friend of my time gave between Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier and my Marvel OC (her hero name is Sandstorm). This new nick was born because I had to open a League of Legend new account and the WinterStorm option was taken. While randomly pressing keys, I had a sort of stroke of genius, and "thenameswinter" was born. The "99" was added in a second moment, which is my year of birth.

OTP(s) + Shipname OOOFFFF I have lot of them. I'll write down the ones I am most in the mood for at the moment:

CREJACE/JACEGAN (Cregan Stark x Jacaerys Velaryon)

Blame @sylasthegrim for fueling up my obsession with them (and with Cregan).

2. NAGRON (Agron x Nasir; Spartacus)

3. SAMBUCKY (Sam Wilson x Bucky Barnes; Marvel)

I occasionally ship them with Steve Rogers together, I love m/m threesome

4. FINTRIC (Finan x Sihtric; The Last Kingdom)

5. MERTHUR (Merlin x Arthur Pendragon; Merlin).

HONOURABLE MENTION: DESTIEL (Dean Winchester x Castiel; Supernatural)

Favorite colour Purple and black.

Favorite game I have lots of favourite videogames. I loved the "The Witcher" trilogy and I can't wait to play the fourth chapter. I also loved the "Devil May Cry" saga, I only have to play the DmC and DMC V. I also enjoyed a lot "God of War" saga and "Assassin's Creed" saga. But the game that will forever be in my heart is "Dragon Age" saga, especially "Dragon Age Origins".

Song stuck in your head

I'm in my sad hours era.

Weirdest habit/trait? When I'm nervous, I tend to rub my palms a lot. I don't know why I still don't have calluses.

Hobbies Reading, drawing, writing, giffing (new), finding some scripts so I can practice with my acting skills.

If you work, what's your profession? Theorically, I work in a graphic and communication agency. Practically, I don't work there as graphic, but more as secretary/call center girl.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Realistically? I still haven't change my mind and I always believe I want to pursuit the acting career, especially in the film industry field. I know it will be a hard path, but every time I watch a movie at home or in theatre I can't help but study actors and at the same time be fascinated by their profession, many times I imagine how I would act in that scene.

Something you're good at I don't know?

Something you're bad at Everything ahahahahah

hey! interrupting with a kiss and sambucky for the intimacy prompts, please and thank you <3

Hi! Thanks for the prompt!

Sam watched Bucky haul Kate Bishop off of the ground with a gladiator hold. He practically lifted her off of her feet in the process, but Sam was pretty certain Bishop welcomed the relief from having to stand.

"Okay, that was a good practice," he said as he stepped back from her and reset his stance. "Now actually try the move."

Bishop blew a loose piece of hair from her face and kept an irritated look on Bucky. "Nobody can move you," she accused.

"Lots of people can move me. Lots of Widows could take me down. You gonna let Belova have bragging rights?"

A walnut hit Bishop in the forehead from somewhere in the rafters. Bishop turned her glare up towards the structure, but not for long because Bucky rushed at her during the moment of distraction.

Bishop was quick on her feet and had a brute force about her. Sam really thought she'd be able to take someone out with a stapler if she needed to. Despite extensive training in various self defenses, though, she had not quite figured out how to hold her own in a fistfight.

She threw herself to the side, forgoing the defense-turned-offense grip that Bucky had been trying to teach her. She went for his leg instead, kicking his knee out, which did send him down. But she forgot she didn't have her bow and, in the split second she spent reaching for her arrows, he'd spun on his knee and tackled her down to the mat again.

"Wrong," he said, not even a little winded.

When they'd decided to reopen the Avengers Campus, Bucky had been adamant he wasn't going to be anyone's teacher. But then he'd seen one of the training sessions Monica helmed when she was free to. And it wasn't even that she'd done anything wrong. She just hadn't done it the way Bucky wanted. And now Bucky was the defense trainer.

"Can Cap even do this?" Bishop asked in a wheeze.

"Of course Sam can do this," Bucky scoffed, like she'd offended him by asking.

"I want to see it."

Sam grinned a little and shoved himself off of the stack of tumble mats he'd been watching from. Bucky called them perches, which Sam objected to vocally but secretly kind of like. He helped Kate to her feet again. By the time she'd retreated to the edge of the mat, Belova had rejoined her on the ground. They watched with glee that they didn't even try to hide.

"You sure you're tried of winning, old man?" Sam asked, bouncing around to Bucky's right side as he shook his arms out.

Bucky grinned at him, svelte and predatory. "I'll let you win in a little while," he promised. "Gonna protect my image first though. Can't give it to you right away."

"Uh-huh," Sam agreed drily. "You said the same thing about your chastity too, but that didn't stand up."

Bucky barked out a laugh. "There was nothing chaste about me by the time you found me."

"Oh, that makes what happened after even more embarrassing. What was it, two minutes after I touched you?"

Bucky laughed sharply again, which was all the warning Sam got before he lunged at Sam and Sam got to deploy the move that Bucky was trying to teach the younger heroes. He deflected Bucky by the shoulder, which was about as hard as Bishop had made it out to be actually, and put his foot in front of Bucky's at the same time he barred his arm across Bucky's throat.

They went down hard. Bucky managed to get Sam's right arm under him, leaning heavily into Sam's ribs and rolling so Sam's hip ground into the mat below them. But Sam had his arm around Bucky's neck, squeezing tight enough to make the vein in his temple come out, which usually only happened when he was losing a videogame.

"So, you're kind of right," Sam called over to Bishop. He was trying to casual and conversational, but Bucky was really digging his elbow back into Sam's ribs. "This move isn't great for someone like Bucky, who doesn't have to breathe as much as the rest of us. But lots of people aren't gonna be able to break this before you can knock them out."

Like he was on a cue, Bucky wrenched Sam's arm off of his neck and tossed Sam across the mat. Sam rolled out of his sprawl and hoped it looked intentional. They paced around each other again. Bucky was still grinning as he adjusted his workout tanktop.

"I can show her what it's really supposed to look like," he threatened. "You ever seen someone get choked out?" he asked Bishop.

"Duh," her and Belova said at the same time.

His eyes only flickered over to them for the barest split-second, but Sam jumped at him right then anyway. He tried to make the offense as straight-on as possible so it wouldn't be so easy for Bucky to get him off course.

Bucky didn't try. He let Sam hit him head on, but didn't give up an inch in recoil. It was like hitting a brick wall. A brick wall with a really good chest.

Sam didn't even get to groan before Bucky had slammed him into the mat, kneeling on one knee as he held Sam down with his metal arm locked into place.

Sam futilely tried to shove at Bucky's wrist, even though he knew it was useless.

"If you're fighting someone your size, this isn't so bad, especially if you have backup or a weapon to grab," Bucky told the young women over his shoulder. His voice sounded conversational, the asshole. "But I wouldn't really suggest it for someone bigger--"

Sam reached up for the back of Bucky's head and yanked him down. Bucky's body seemed to course correct all on its own, without his input. One minute he was holding Sam down like a dummy doll. The next, he was loose and open, kissing Sam like they were at home.

As soon as his arm unlocked, Sam had them flipped over and sat astride Bucky's hips, holding his wrists tightly between both of his hands. Bucky's scowl melted away into a proud glee instead.

"Now, that's cheating, sweetheart."

"Cheating is always a fine way to win a fight," Sam told the other heroes without looking away from Bucky.

"So, is the kissing imperative in this maneuver?" Antonia Dreykov asked boredly from somewhere where no one could see her but she undoubtedly could see all of them. "Or is that part just wasting our time?"

"Well, if you're ever in a fight with your brainwashed best friend, it could work," Bishop offered.

"Happens more often than you'd think," Belova agreed.

"Tell me about it," Sam added.

"You're all annoying," Dreykov sighed. "I want to try. But do not kiss me," she said as she appeared from a shadow in the middle of the room. Okay, not really, but it seemed like it. She was always just appearing.

"One more for the road?" Bucky suggested, tugging his wrists down to get Sam's attention.

Sam obliged, leaning down to kiss Bucky quickly.

But not quick enough to keep Bucky from flipping them again and pinning Sam's hands down. "It works both ways," he crowed, like he'd won something.

"Annoying!" Dreykov repeated. "Wasting my time."

"Yeah, yeah," Sam grunted, shoving Bucky off of him so they could stand. "Go get your ass kicked."

Still, when their eyes met as they reset around the room, they both couldn't help but grin and look away again.

Antonia did kick Bucky's ass without any cheating. But it was alright 'cause Sam was there to kiss his ego better afterwards.

lol my buddy and I were just talking about Sebastian’s stans freaking out, but I’m gonna be honest, I seriously doubt that he (or Simu) are done shooting, or that either of them will be killed off. Like that’s one thing I’d genuinely have to see to believe. Seb’s fans freak out during every production though, whining about him “probably” being killed off and it hasn’t happened yet. I’m not about to hold my breath lol. //

Honestly, it's not even Seb stans, it's the MCU stans, Seb stans are more than happy to finally seeing him out of the flop the mcu has become. Every movie used to make a billion or close to, now it's not like that unless it's Spiderman probably. But I agree that those stans have been saying he'll be killed off and it hasn happened. I honestly hope it happens, Sambucky is the only thing that has kept me watching the MCU, I need them o give me a fucking reason to finally stop because I don't even know if I'll understand doomsday as I haven't watched anything post endgame except tfatws, cabnw and Thunderbolts 🧍🏽‍♀️

I gotta disagree it’s definitely Seb’s stans, because it’s Bucky stans, and they happily watch everything he puts out whether it’s good or not. Most Bucky stans don’t give a fig about Bucky’s characterization in the movies or comics, they just like that he’s a white male, who is sad sometimes, and conventionally attractive, and they love Sebastian Stan’s dirty drawers lol - he can do no wrong in their eyes. So, nah, it’s definitely his stans.

Anyway, it’s not like Sebastian’s other movies are bringing in bank lmaooo, whether he’s slapping women or eating them. The same people watching him in Fresh are watching him in the MCU, and they’re eating up every minute of it, happily.

As for the MCU being a flop now… I don’t think a movie needs to break a billion or even come close to it, to be considered a hit or good. And, if we’re keeping it a buck, the lower profits recently are due more to racism and misogyny than anything else. There were PLENTY of good movies and shows post Endgame, so when people talk about how they didn’t watch anything but a few select projects since Endgame, and the ones they watched just so happened to be the ones that mainly starred white males, I have to side-eye.

Anyway, GotG 3, Shang-Chi, Wakanda Forvever, NWH, BNW, Hawkeye, The Marvels - were all above average, and that’s just off the top of my head.

(Not for nothing, but during lockdown I watched a good chunk of Seb’s non Marvel movies, and a lot of them were nothing to write home about, so there’s that…)

Anywho, if SamBucky is the only reason you’re still watching anything in the MCU, you probably should go ahead and tap out though 🤷🏾‍♀️😭

Whew this was long lol. But I’ll end by saying, MCU Bucky stans are all really just Sebastian stans, and there’s always a Bucky stan at the scene of the crime. Trust me, they’re interchangeable and they’re the ones whining about his possible death every other year.

[subtlehysteria]

I'd love to hear about this SamBucky swing dance AU!!

Ask and ye shall receive!

Right, so I started this when I was having a Marvel re-watch phase, mainly for Loki and Bucky content. I first thought of maybe writing a fic set in the 40's simply because I wanted to write about Sam and Bucky swing dancing but setting it in the 40's didn't feel quite right because of the war and attitude towards queer people in that time. SO! I decided, fuck it, lets set it in modern times. Bucky dances and teaches Lindy Hop (1940s swing dancing with the crazy lifts and fancy footwork) in his mom's studio in Brooklyn while Sam teaches West Coast Swing (a more modern version with more turns than lifts that can be danced to a lot of contemporary pop songs) at the VA in Harlem. They meet at Steve's wedding to Peggie and do not get along AT ALL. Poor Bucky is a little bit heartbroken because his best friend and long-time crush has gotten married and is moving to London while Bucky is expected to be totally okay with this and go back to their empty Brooklyn apartment. Sam and Steve served together in Afghanistan with the rest of the Avengers as a special ops team. In this version, Bucky didn't sign up for the army but instead pursued a career in dance and teaching. He loses his arm in a plane crash instead when heading back home from the wedding, which puts his dance career on indefinite hold. That's sort of the intro of the fic, the rest of which is set six months after Bucky loses his arm. He's busy training Peter and MJ (who are friends and dance partners) for a big Lindy Hop competition while Sam is still working at the VA. Steve asks Sam to check in on Bucky because he's been radio silent and he's worried about him which is what sort of kicks off the whole them reuniting and becoming begrudging friends (and later something more).

I definitely do want to finish this because I have at least 1/3 written and the rest planned out, plus I've found some amazing dance videos that I think really represent Bucky and Sam's dance styles well. Though I don't know when I'll get around to finishing this smh. But if you're interested in reading a snippet you can find it below the cut:

As soon as he gets home, Sam unearths his laptop and signs into YouTube, typing in his search.

James Barnes Open Swing Competition.

Immediately, several videos pop up, all featuring Bucky’s nickname in the title with an array of dance partners. They range from choreographed routines at competitions to workshops and dance camps with improvised dances. One in particular draws Sam’s eyes though.

Sensual Same-Sex Swing Routine - Bucky and Steve

He’s clicking it before he even registers he’s doing it, the video taking a second to load. It looks to be a festival setting, more relaxed with a square dance space surrounded by a crowd of people sitting on the floor or on makeshift seats. Behind is a stage with a few stray musicians taking a break, to the left a large upright banner stating this is the Lindylicious Swing Dance festival in Paris of all places. And there in the center of the dance floor is a much younger looking Bucky and Steve. They can’t be older than twenty or twenty one, so it must have been just before Steve shipped out to the army. They’re both dressed up in slacks and shirts befitting of the 1940s, Bucky in classical black while Steve’s wearing a baby blue polo that brings out his eyes. Steve’s got on a pair of white and brown leather saddle shoes while Bucky’s got a pair of black loafers with blood red socks, the only pop of colour in his outfit. His hair is shorter here, like it had been at the wedding, styled with a bit of gel to get more of a greaser look.

He and Steve stand whispering quietly between themselves before the music starts, Steve’s head tilting back with a laugh before the two start to sway to the sensual swing beat. It’s a lot slower paced compared to MJ and Peter’s routine, made for footwork and turns more than aerial tricks.

With a playful crook of his finger, Bucky invites Steve to dance, the two sliding across the distance between them to meet in the middle in a close, intimate hold. The crowd ooo’s with more than a few giggles in-between. They sway for a bit, Steve lazily swinging in and out, following Bucky’s lead without any trouble. Suddenly, the drum halts, giving space for a burst of horn, and Steve and Bucky shake it out much to the crowd’s whooping delight before shuffling back together.  A deep voice croons about what all a couple can get up to when the lights go out, and Steve and Bucky must be familiar with the song as they play up to the beats and lyrics. Sam can see the playfulness from MJ and Peter’s routine echoed here, Bucky pretending to melt to the floor, hot and bothered, as Steve walks ahead of him in time to the beat.

They make a fantastic pair, feeding off each other and moving so in sync while still having a casual easiness about them that makes it feel like it’s all improvised, like they’re just that damn good. And maybe they are.  

At one point they’re entirely wrapped around one another, Bucky having slid up to Steve’s side and twirled him so they’re chest to chest, thighs woven and hips swaying. Steve’s back is to the camera but Bucky’s face is clear to see and—oh.

Oh.

His face is tucked into the crook of Steve’s neck, attempting to hide what now Sam can clearly see is a besotted smile that has absolutely nothing to do with the characters they’re playing for the dance.

“Oh, Buck…” he murmurs as he watches the dance continue to unfold, Bucky’s adoration out there for all to see, including Steve, and they don’t even know it, thinking it’s all an act just for the fun of the dance.

It’s so damn obvious, Bucky standing with his chest to Steve’s back, arms wrapped tight around him, the two stepping together like a pair of lovebirds out on a walk. That smile, the softness of his eyes, the way he squeezes Steve just a little closer before stepping away. How the hell did no one see it? How did Steve never see it?

Sam’s shot back to that night at the reception, him and Bucky watching Steve and Peggy do a sensual West Coast Swing routine that Sam had helped choreograph, that he’d boasted about, all the while Bucky stood there still as a statue, quietly dying inside as his best friend, his dance partner, the man he loved, replaces him with someone new.

Fuck, Sam’s an idiot. No wonder Bucky was acting off, no wonder he’d dropped his smile as soon as Steve wasn’t looking. No wonder he’d stormed off when Sam suggested a dance. It was probably the final nail in the coffin, the final snip to the withering tether of his sanity that night. And Sam had played a role in snapping it.

(here's the dance I based Steve and Bucky's routine off of)

You might want to block and report that @/legalandnotease account. They keep deliberately going into the Sam Wilson and/or sambucky tag and spamming people with bigoted hate. They HATE sam and only ever comment on him to hate him. They’re so pissed that sam/anthony got his own movie and have to complain nonstop about it under our posts to try and ruin our excitement because they’re racist and angry. They also use extremely offensive language and intentionally degrading language to attack people while picking fights either in the form of reblogs or in comment sections. They’re going out of their way to target people, especially when searching the tags of the characters they don’t like. Just a heads up

Look, I don't really want to get into this drama, and I'll admit I have invested very little time into this issue, so I'm not up to date on the latest tragic-fantasy-girl scandal that a small portion of the fandom is freaking out over. I will say this, tiredly but with love - I don't think it's right that you're making all of these claims about this person when:

You've provided no evidence, yet want me to block her not only by word-of-mouth, but also because you don't like her.

I have seen pretty much this exact "heads up" cross my dash three or four times now. I don't know if it's all you, but it really rubs me the wrong way that YOU (assuming you're the one sending all of those) are the one going out of your way to find people to copy and paste the same thing to. Maybe you genuinely just want to help, but people curate their own experiences on the internet and should be able to make their own decisions without someone trying to whisper in their ear on who's okay to talk to and who isn't. * edit to add: I also have no idea why or how you came up with me to send this to. What was my crime, reblogging something she wrote?

From what I've personally seen, you're trying very, very hard to make things up and misrepresent anything she says. If you have such a strong case against her, you shouldn't need to twist evidence (that you haven't provided) to make your point. If someone can possibly be such a problem in the fandom, you don't have to feed them the way you are doing.

Do I agree with everything she says? Probably not. Do I agree with the way she handles her arguments? Not usually. Do I have enough free time or energy to waste on this matter to care very much? Hell no. This is the internet.

You don't have to turn a blind eye if you genuinely have reason to believe that someone is a bad person who is actively harming others. But a random person on the internet who annoys you doesn't have to become your obsession.
