The First Night of September

September has come. Kids are back in school, summer is ending, and on the 21st we will celebrate one of Tumblr's favorite arbitrary dates.

And I love celebrating arbitrary dates, but why should Earth Wind & Fire be known only for that one song? They have seven Grammys and eight platinum albums. Their catalog is huge. Surely there's room in this month for more than one song?

So for today, here's "Let's Groove", a #3 Billboard hit from 1981.

Things to appreciate: rare use of a vocoder, and the triangular graphic effects, which I believe are a reference to their perennial appreciation for pyramids.

Earth, Wind, & Fire - Evolution Orange

As stated in the last post these videos just wouldn't fully upload because of my internet, and I did not want to risk losing quality by uploading these from my phone. Both videos are likely blocked in the U.S. because of the stuff currently going on with YouTube, but hopefully you can view this regardless.

Bob is such babygirl… would love to see a fic with him

I’m legit in love with Bob - and so with that, here is a fic about the first time Bob gets sick after being with the New Avengers

I’m headcanoning that when he feels worse, the void starts making appearances

Also pls note I obviously ~do not know where they live so~ let’s just assume they live together somewhere lmfao

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Cu- cucumb- hi’TSCHew! Hhh eh’SSHoo!”

Bob sniffled helplessly into the sleeve of his shirt. He’d been doing that a lot lately.

“What’s wrong with Bobby?” Walker asked, motioning to the younger man with his head.

Bob looked up sheepishly, “Me? I’m fine.” he offered a smile before his face scrunched up.

“Cucumber! Heh’ishiew!! SNF”

Bucky stood up from where he was working on repairing his arm. “Feeling alright, kid?”

The brunette rubbed at his arm awkwardly, “yeah I’m. I mean I don’t feel great, but I’m… good.”

He nodded once more for good measure.

The older man shot Yelena a glance. Being the one Bob seemed most comfortable with, she approached.

The assassin looked him up and down. Bob generally resembled a lost baby duck, but he looked especially innocent today. His shirt looked a little baggy on him, his nose was tinged pink, and he had a slight flush across his cheeks.

“Bob?”

“I… think I’m getting sick but it’s probably just a cold.” He shrugged.

The blonde eyed him up hesitantly. “Why don’t you go lie down? We don’t have anything going on right now anyways.”

“Well if you’re sure you don’t need me…” he shuffled off to his bedroom.

Once he was out of earshot, John said, “do we uh.. know how that’s gonna affect the other guy?”

“Nope!” Bucky smiled somewhat sarcastically, “but I’m sure we’ll find out soon.”

***

“Hey guys.” It was dinner when Ava came back. “Where’s Bob?”

“He’s resting. Not feeling so hot.” Bucky called over his shoulder from the stove.

“Still? It’s been hours.” Concern dripped from Yelena’s voice.

As if on cue, some soft coughs rang out from Bobs room … followed shortly by some harsher ones.

“Bob?!”

Yelena pushed open his door gently. Bob was propped up against two pillows, coughing into his cupped hands. He looked much worse - sweat ringing the collar of his shirt and hair sticking to his forehead.

The poor guy had a box of tissues next to him and a few used ones scattered the bed and floor. Most concerning, however, was the pitch black darkness spreading on the sheets under him like watercolor on paper.

She rushed to his side and grabbed his hand, feeling his forehead with the other.

“It’s okay, Bob. I’m here. You’re going to be okay.” She turned over her shoulder, “GET IN HERE!”

As the others arrived quickly at the doorway, Bob’s eyes fluttered open.

“Y’lena? Everything feels bad. The void.. I.. I can’t stop it. H’ktCHiew! Eh’sSH!”

“It’s not the void Bob, you’re just really sick.”

Bucky walked over to Bob with the same purpose he did back in the 40’s. He placed a damp towel over Bob’s forehead the same way he used to do for Steve when he’d get sick.

“This’ll make you feel better. We’re here Bob.”

John, Alexei and Ava watched intensely for a minute while Bucky held the compress and Yelena whispered to Bob. Slowly the darkness started to ‘reabsorb’ into him.

“Is he okay?” Ava asked.

“Yeah, is this going to happen every time he gets sick?”

Ava elbowed Walker in the ribs.

“I’m okay,” Bob sat up a little. “What’s going on?”

The gang was still getting used to Bob’s memory loss that followed these episodes with the Void. They were never sure how much or how little they should tell him.

The man in question looked at all of his friends exchanging silent glances before speaking up shyly. “Can I have…some juice? I think I’m sick.”

Yelena sighed quietly and smiled, turning towards him, “Sure Bob. Just lie down okay?”

She patted his thigh and stood up, Bucky doing the same as they exited the room.

“I think it’s only if he has a fever,” Bucky muttered to John on his way out, “he seems to go to a dark place when he’s not feeling well. Happens to me sometimes but without the… consequences.”

The rest of the New Avengers gathered in the other room for dinner. The young Russian however, stayed back, sitting in the bed next to Bob while he sipped his juice.

He couldn’t deny that he felt soothed in her presence. When he finished his juice, he set the glass on the bedside table and sunk a little deeper under the covers, wrapping Yelena’s waist in a hug and resting his head on her stomach.

She smiled gently and ran her fingers through his hair.

“You can rest now, Bob. We’ve got you.”

The Twenty-First Night of September

Do you remember?

So, fun fact: "September" was the second single off Earth Wind & Fire's 1978 compilation album, The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire, Vol. 1. Wait, why are they releasing a single off a collection of their old songs?

The first single was "Got to Get You into My Life," which they recorded for the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie, as previously mentioned. The movie was released a few months before, so it made sense to put the single here for people who were more into EW&F than the Bee Gees.

But "September" was just a new song they felt like including, and when you're Earth Wind & Fire, you can just do stuff like put a new song on your greatest hits album and have it become your greatest hit ever[1]. That's confidence.

The date has no special meaning. It just sounded good.

[1] Greatest hit by sales, that is, since the single went 6x platinum in the US, by far their best-selling. But by chart performance, it hit #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, lower than several of their other records.

Hopefully this isn't blocked in the U.S. like many other videos with music in them are as of recent, but here it is. Was taking too long to upload straight onto here for some reason and so this was the best alternative.
