Little update on my newest WIP:

I might fall a bit behind on the days because work has been kicking my ass lately. I’m super tired and have hit a bit of a roadblock in my writing. I’m going to try to keep it up, but just know I might post some chapters a day (or two) late.

Thanks for understanding!

Sticks and Stones (Break My Bones)

Chapter one of my latest project (for this year's @febuwhump challenge) is now posted! I'll attempt to post a new chapter every day this February, fulfilling each prompt.

I don’t think I’ll cross-post it to tumblr because it’s easier to do it on A03. (Sorry)

I’ll try to keep up, but lately I haven’t been feeling very well. Hopefully I’ll start feeling better soon, so I can have more energy to complete the series.

Hope you all enjoy!

Not-So-Secret Santa

Masterlist | A03 | Wattpad | Recommendations | Inbox | Taglist

Summary: the holidays are always a stressful time of year. It doesn't help when you have to get the perfect present for your crush.

Warnings: anxiety, panic attack, self-worth issues/insecurity

Word Count: 2,768

A/N: Today's prompts from @amonthofwhump were claustrophobia, panic attack, and secret Santa exchange. Day one is extremely mild, but I promise it only gets worse. Enjoy!

“Every Avenger is required to come to the Christmas party. I even made it before Christmas so that Clint and Scott could make it.”

She frowns at Tony as he fiddles with Natasha’s widow bites. “I told you. I don’t celebrate Christmas. It’s a waste of time.”

“Okay, Mr. Grinch,” Tony smirks to himself.

“I don’t even know what to gift this person. Can I just ask them what they want?”

Tony finally looks up, his mouth agape. “That defeats the whole purpose! Secret Santa—as in no one knows who their gift giver is. You do know what secret means, right?”

“Of course, I do! I just don’t see the point. How am I supposed to thank the person that gave me the gift? How am I supposed to pay them back?”

Tony facepalms. “That’s not how it works.”

Mutual Agreement

Masterlist | A03 | Wattpad | Recommendations | Inbox

Summary: whilst on a mission, you and Bucky get caught in the cold. Your body doesn’t handle the temperature well, being you’re not a supersoldier. Your state brings back memories of Bucky’s life before Hydra, making him fear for your health.

Warnings: language, hypothermia, crying, mentions of death, fluff

Word Count: 1,551

Prompt: Delirium | Hypothermia | Stabilisation

A/N: Day 4 of June of Doom by @juneofdoom

Bucky never showed his emotions. He was a closed book, and he intended to keep it that way. But that all shattered to pieces one fateful mission.

You and Bucky had been assigned to take down an abandoned Hydra base in Russia. Bucky had wanted to go alone, but Steve insisted that he went with a partner. That partner just so happened to be you, the girl that Bucky admired from afar.

You were strong, intelligent, and beautiful. He admired you for that and all the good you had done. You were better than him in every single way.

Finding and destroying the base was an easy matter. It was abandoned, therefore, there were no surprise attacks. It was the perfect mission. No injuries, no deaths, and most importantly to Bucky, not even a hair on your head was harmed.

Things only went downhill from there.

The getaway vehicle you had parked in the forest refused to start again. It didn’t matter what Bucky did, the vehicle refused to start up. On top of that, it was freezing in the vehicle. Almost as cold as it was outside, without the wind, of course.

If your shivering was anything to go by, Bucky knew you both couldn’t stay there. On his GPS, the safe house wasn’t far away. The supersoldier could make it on foot no problem. He just wasn’t so sure about you.

Internally, his thoughts were running rampant. On the outside, he looked as calm and collected as usual.

“We shouldn’t stay here. Do you think you can walk to the safe house?”

You bit your lip. “Sure.”

Bucky didn’t trust the tone of your voice whatsoever, but he didn’t let it show. He had to get you to warmth before he lost you.

You both exited the useless vehicle, and trudged your way towards the cabin.

It didn’t take long for your hands to start shaking, and your steps to begin faltering. You had to stay strong, though. You couldn’t face the embarrassment of failure in front of a teammate that you swore hated your guts.

The feeling in your face as well as your feet had long since vanished. Your fingers hadn’t had feeling since you reached the vehicle. These were not good signs, but you resigned to deal with it since the cabin was coming into your view.

Bucky noticed you lagging behind before you did. His heart raced, wanting to pick you up and bolt to the cabin where he could get you warm. He knew, however, that you would not like that notion. You’d probably smite him if he dared lay a finger on you. You liked your space, hating when people invaded it. Because although you were kind, you too had boundaries. Physical touch just happened to be yours.

It wasn’t until you tripped and fell into the snow that he decided, “screw that” and picked you up from the ground. You were trembling so hard, as cold as ice and it fucking scared him.

You let out a small noise of protest as he gathered you in his arms and began to run to the cabin. You could do it yourself. You just needed a little rest, that’s all.

Bucky slammed the door to the cabin open and slammed it shut before running to set you on the ground. He took off your soaked jacket and boots. You gently pushed him away, not really able to put any force behind it. “I can do it myself,” you muttered indignantly.

Whilst Bucky usually loved your sense of independence, it only served to frustrate him. He pouted with his signature grumpy face, arms crossed and all. He watched you peel off your drenched socks. Your fingers were still trembling.

He just wanted to help. You turned to go to one of the rooms, hoping to find a new pair of pants that weren’t wet.

You overestimated your ability to walk. Tripping over nothing probably had to be the most embarrassing thing you had ever done in front of Barnes. He didn’t hesitate to catch you. In Bucky’s arms you wanted nothing more than to melt into a puddle of shame.

Bucky muttered something to himself as he carried you to the nearest room. He set you on the ottoman in front of the bed before going to ruffle through the closet. He found some clothes for you to wear.

He turned around to give them to you, so you could change yourself. When he saw you falling asleep, he dashed to your side. You couldn’t fall asleep on him now. “C’mon, wake up,” he muttered, not a trace of worry evident in either his tone or on his face. He was determined to keep calm in front of you. Freaking out would do no good.

You blearily opened your eyes. It was so cold. Why were you so cold? You were in the warmth now. You should be fine.

“I’m gonna change your clothes now, okay? Is that alright?” Bucky asked. He didn’t want to do anything without your consent, but if worse came to worse, he would have to. He just needed to stabilise you before things got any worse. You just groaned in response. Cursing under his breath, Bucky dutifully peeled off your pants and dressed you in the sweats he had found. He left your shirt on, since it wasn’t affected by the snow. He didn’t want to do anything more. Not without your consent.

In your state of delirium, you barely noticed that he had picked you up and carried you to bed. You barely noticed the way he took care to wrap you in multiple blankets.

When you woke up, you were incredibly warm. You were also practically trapped in a cocoon of blankets. Groaning, you unwrapped yourself from the layers upon layers of blankets.

You tiptoed your way into the hallway. Looking around, you didn’t see Barnes anywhere.

You furrowed your brows when you heard a muffled sound coming from the bedroom down the hall.

You creeped to the door and pressed your ear against it. You could hear ragged breaths and choked sobs coming from behind the door. It had to be Bucky. No one else would be out here. However, you’d never seen him cry. He always was so strong given what he’d been through. He was resilient. So what could have prompted his tears? Did he have a nightmare? You knew from Steve that he was struggling with them. Your hand hesitated at the door handle. How you longed to go in there and comfort him, to wrap him in your arms and tell him he was safe now. But you knew he was a private person. He hated it when people saw him vulnerable, and you didn’t blame him.

All it took to break your hesitance was a sob.

Bucky had a hard time keeping everything in. He didn’t mean to let it out, but god he couldn’t help it. Seeing you look so pale and weak, your ice cold skin and shivering body… it reminded him of Steve. Little Steve back when they were kids. He thought Steve was going to die that cold January night. Bucky had stayed with him the whole night, praying to anyone that would listen to not take away his best friend.

It was like history was repeating itself and just the thought of you dying tore him to shreds. Now, Bucky didn’t believe in any god, not after all he went through with Hydra, but you bet your ass he had prayed. He didn’t get too far before his emotions caught up with him, hitting him head on like a bus.

That led him to the moment where you burst through the door. Your concerned features swept Bucky’s distraught figure. He was in the corner of the room, curled up into a ball. He didn’t even notice you, too busy trying to get air into his lungs.

Your heart tore at the sight of him so broken. You gently moved up beside him and kneeled just a few feet away. “Bucky?”

His red, watery eyes looked up at you like you were a ghost. Those eyes widened as he scrambled to make himself look like less of a mess. He sniffled back his tears and ran his hands over his eyes. Red creeped onto the tips of his ears and the back of his neck, completely ashamed you were seeing him like this.

His body froze when you wordlessly wrapped your arms around his body. He wanted to cry all over again. He couldn’t remember the last time someone had held him as if he were something precious. It took him a few seconds before he returned the gesture, hesitant to touch you. He could hurt you… or what if this was all just a figment of his imagination. Bucky didn’t want your tender hold to disappear.

You both stayed wrapped in each other’s arms for the rest of the night. Not a word needed to be said between you both. In your silence was a mutual agreement. An agreement that no one had to know about Bucky’s meltdown. An agreement that you wouldn’t ask questions. An agreement that this is what both of you needed. Some comfort.

Honestly it depends on my mood. Sometimes I can’t listen to anything while I’m writing because it’s too distracting, but I usually listen to my Volver playlist. When I’m writing my new multi-chapter fic (I don’t have a title yet) I listen to the playlist I made for that story (not completed yet).

Silent Night

Masterlist | A03 | Wattpad | Recommendations | Inbox | Taglist

Summary: Tony is always working. Even during the holidays, the grind doesn’t stop. A break-in at the tower results in an endless loop that he doesn't know how to get out of. Forced to watch those he loves get hurt over and over takes a toll on Tony. He starts to question if his team would be better without him.

Warnings: language, canon typical violence, temporary death, self-hatred/blame

Word Count: 4,222

A/N: Today's prompts from @amonthofwhump were power outage, time loop, overworked whumpee, and snuggling by the fire. Enjoy!

Tony Stark can’t honestly remember the last time he got any sleep. The only fuel to his body is cups upon cups of glorious coffee. There’s too much to get done. Clint needs some new and improved arrows, Pepper wants the model of the newest StarkPad out before Christmas, and a whole slew of other projects and tasks sit at the forefront of his mind.

He’s finishing up the specs for the StarkPad when everything goes dark. Furrowing his brows, Tony looks up from his project. “J? Talk to me, bud.”

Silence

His heart clenches in his chest. Red lights begin to flash, the symbol of a break-in. His head spins as he jumps to his feet. The room tilts back and forth as does his body as he meanders to his suits. Tony suits up as fast as he can in his surprisingly weakened state, and races to find the intruders.

Coldest Winter

Masterlist | A03 | Wattpad | Recommendations | Inbox | Taglist

Summary: It was almost too easy for Brock to convince the Avengers that Bucky and him were dating. No one blinked an eye at the fact that he was now living in the Avengers Tower with his "boyfriend".

Warnings: language, abuse, manipulation, referenced sexual assault, domestic abuse, guilt, bucky's past

Word Count: 2,973

A/N: Today's prompts from @amonthofwhump were sedatives, manipulation, yandere whumper and ugly sweater party.

Brock Rumlow wouldn’t say he was obsessed. Not at all.

He was just devoted, that’s it.

Ever since he joined the ranks of Hydra, he had heard about their special weapon. A man that could kill before you even got the chance to blink your eyes. It wasn’t until years passed that he earned the organisation’s trust.

When he first saw the weapon, he was entranced. It was beautiful. Long brown hair, gorgeous blue eyes and an impressive metal arm.

He wanted it for himself.

Make the Yuletide Gay

Masterlist | A03 | Wattpad | Recommendations | Inbox | Taglist

Summary: Bucky Barnes is disowned by his father, so he seeks refuge with his best friend, Steve.

Warnings: language, period-typical homophobia, homophobic slurs, self-worth issues/insecurity, referenced abuse/child abuse/domestic abuse, violence, hate crime

Word Count: 3,488

A/N: Today's prompts from @amonthofwhump were disowned, drowning, and Christmas market. This one is my favourite that I've written for this challenge, I hope you enjoy it too!

It’s that time of the year again. The air nips just enough to hurt, and the ground is covered in slush and snow. Bucky walks down the street with his head down. He doesn't need to see where he’s going. He memorised the route from his house to Steve’s little apartment a long time ago. His jacket has holes in it and his backpack is tearing at the seams, but it’s not like he could get new ones. Not anymore.

Shoving his hands deeper into his pocket, Bucky trudges on.

When he arrives at Steve’s place, his cheeks are rosy, and his toes are numb. Taking a breath, he pauses at his best friend’s door. Anxiety thrums steadily in his chest. What if Steve turns him away? Bucky is sick. A kind of sickness that medicine can’t heal.
