“i’m a man now”
ethan landry x fem!reader (reader in her 20s)
warnings: age gap (ethan is 18, reader is in her 20s), power dynamics, mommy kink, no sex
a/n: based on this tiktok that awakened something in me
ethan usually hangs out at your place now, ever since you moved out he would just invite himself over. he even has some clothes there, and his parents trust you so much that they would even let you know that he’s coming over. so when you get home to find quinn, tara, chad, and mindy there on ethan’s birthday, along boxes of pizza and several cans of beer, you’re not too surprised. of course he was gonna celebrate it here, and you have to apologize to him too because the game console you ordered for him isn’t arriving today.
sam is hurriedly pulling them out now, turning to you with an exasperated smile. “hey y/n,” she greets, “just taking these kids home.”
“drive safe!” you wave at them as you lock the door behind you, now thinking about how you’re sure you’re gonna take care of your own drunk little ethan. you find him seated on the couch, his temple resting on his fist as he leans on the side of it, watching you.
“had a fun party?” you ask, plopping down next to him.
he doesn’t say anything, just smiles at you. he leans closer, and you know that he’ll start to get all cuddly, like he always is whenever he’s drunk.
but before you can process it, you feel his lips on yours. they’re soft and inexperienced, but when you don’t move, ethan moves closer and kisses you more, now getting your lips to open against him. you hear him groan, feeling your lips wet from his saliva.
“ethan,” you pull away from him, still in shock. this boy just…kissed you. the same one you babysat all those years ago. if you remember even further back, you also remember playing with him before you hit your teenage years.
he smiles at you dreamily, licking his lips, “i’ve wanted to do that since i was 13.” he gaze moves to your lips, and before he can dive back in, you stand up.
“no,” you tell him, “you’re drunk. get some rest and we’ll talk about this in the morning.”
strong hands grab your waist, making you stand between his thighs. the look ethan gives you is almost sinful…lustful. he’s so tall and even in this position, with you standing in front of him, he only needs to tilt his head back a little. “i didn’t drink anything,” he whispers. hot, heavy breaths making your nipples pebbles underneath your shirt. his hands now fly to your tits, groping them.
“fuck,” you close your eyes, trying not to moan as his thumbs graze your nipples.
“fuck,” ethan inhales, pupils dilated that his eyes almost look completely black, before he stands up and grabs you into a kiss.
your surprised gasp gives him the opportunity to slide his tongue inside.
ethan moans when his tongue touches yours, flicking around your mouth desperately. he ruts his hardened cock against your stomach, and you moan at the feel of his jeans and his bulge against you. knowing that he’s so tall his cock is grinding against your tummy.
he slips his hands under your shirt, moaning into your mouth when he feels your tits. he breaks away from you.
“i wanna suck on your tits, momma,” ethan whispers, “will you let me suck on your titties?”
your hand cups his bulge, and he whimpers into your mouth.
“let’s go to the bedroom,” you tell him, “and you can suck on my tits all your like.”
his cock twitches against your hand and he pulls you towards the bedroom.
ik im gonna get flamed for this hence why i used this account i havent opened in forever lol

breaking the distance. |c.b|
Tumblr media
summary: You and Colby have been dating for nearly two years, enduring long distance and making the best out of time zones and chaotic work/ school schedules. The two of you knew one day the distance would be shortened to where there would be no more planes needed to see each other, and date night could finally be more than just facetiming and watching a movie together at the same time. One of you just happened to know it would be happening sooner rather than later.
~*~*~*~*~*~
No one ever expected Colby and I’s relationship to last, and I couldn’t really blame them. On the outside looking in, It seemed like it was a storm waiting to happen. Colby, a very well known social media content creator, constantly traveling and investigating new locations with his best friend in and outside the country, and lives on the west coast of the united states. Me, a non social media content creator, studying emergency paramedicine, lives on the east coast, and never even had a passport until two months ago. The main thing people always loved to throw at us was the distance. ‘Why date someone who lives a 5 hour plane ride away, when there’s plenty of people here in the same state for you to choose from?’
I personally didn’t fully expect us to be where we are right now when I met Colby over two years ago. It’s crazy how things happen though, how quickly you connect with a person. It’s as if I’d known him my whole life, as if I was connecting with an old friend I hadn’t seen in years that night at the bar. We talked and talked for hours, the rest of the crowded bar tuned out and all I saw was him. Colby and his friends he had traveled to the east coast with a few days later after we first ended up coming over to my apartment for a game night after constantly texting and getting to know each other more. Ironically, one of his friends that came with him, I knew from my childhood. Talk about a small world.
The buzzing of my cellphone in my hand snapped me out of the daydream I was in. A smile quickly spread across my face as I spotted Colby’s name on the caller ID before answering.
“Finally waking up, Mr. Brock?” I smiled as I held the phone to my ear.
“I’m so sorry beautiful, I slept through my alarm. I totally planned on waking up earlier to be able to talk to you in case you began to stress over your exam today.” His morning voice was something that always caught me off guard, the deep rasp. It always made me yearn for the day I’d be able to hear it in person, and not over the phone.
Of course over the past two years we’ve met up and spent time together, however it was usually when him and Sam were on a trip to film or when I had a small break between semesters at school and could afford to visit him.
“It’s okay Colby, I promise.” I smiled to myself and attempted to contain my excitement as I scanned the empty apartment once more. “I’ve been just cleaning and relaxing on the couch. I think if I tried reading any more of my textbooks my eyeballs might fall out of my head.”
Colby chuckled as my apartment door swung open, and I quickly muted myself as Seth, the friend of Colby’s that I’ve known since childhood came in. “Who’s ready to mo- oh shit, are you on the phone?” He quickly covered his mouth with a hand.
“Yeah, with Colby.” I giggled before giving him a ‘shh’ and taking myself off mute.
“You’re going to do great. You always do great. This is the final bridge needing to be crossed and then I’ll be able to have you in my arms every night and hear about the crazy encounters you have at work in person. God, I can’t wait for that to be real, beautiful. I miss you so much.”
“I can’t believe that it’s finally here. Just this semester and then I’m done, graduated, nationally registered to work anywhere in the country. By the way, My supervisor reached out to the base that’s not far from where you live, and they have an open paramedic spot that is up for grabs.” I bit my bottom lip and glanced at Seth who also shared the same nervous look.
I’ve always hated lying, and lying to Colby these past few months have been absolute torture. But he’s always the one surprising me, I wanted to finally surprise him. I ended up taking an earlier program that Colby didn’t know about, which allowed me to graduate and become a paramedic three months ago. However, Colby still thought I had another two months to go. During this time since finishing school, I’ve been working and studying protocols for the state I’d be moving to, coordinating with Sam on shipping my stuff to Vegas from New England without Colby seeing the boxes, selling stuff I don’t need to bring, and basically getting ready to move to Vegas. Of course, Colby knew this day would be coming, as we have a whole checklist we share on google docs to make sure we have everything lined up for when the day comes, He just doesn’t know it’s happening sooner. Or that I’m going to be there, in like 12 hours.
“Baby, Is it okay if I let you go? I can call you back later. I have to bring my phone to the apple store, I finally got an appointment to get my battery fixed.” I ran a hand through my hair, constantly reminding myself mentally the lying would be over soon.
“Oh good, I’m so glad you got that appointment babe, I have to get going anyway. Sam and I have to go meet up with some friends to film a video, but text or call me as soon as you finish your exam okay? I love you.”
After saying goodbye and hanging up, I groaned and laid back on the empty granite counter. “Dude, no wonder you hate lying. Thank god that wasn’t a facetime call or one look at your face and Colby would see your face and just know you were hiding something.” Seth chuckled and I flipped him the bird.
“Can we go get coffee before we head to the airport? This whole not having my own car thing sucks.” Seth chuckled once more before nodding and holding out his rental keys that I snatched out his hand before he could speak. “Yes, I’ll drive. You drive worse than my grandmother.”
~
“Now boarding Group A.”
“I’m really flying to Vegas without a return ticket.” I mumbled as I handed my ticket to the flight attendant at the gate. I glanced over my shoulder at Seth who stood behind me, laughing. “You’re finally moving to Vegas. Which means Sam and I won’t have to hear Colby talk about how much he misses your voice all the time and try to figure out what haunted places we could go see near where you live.”
“Are you sure he won’t question why my phone is off for over five hours? I mean we don’t talk on the phone all day every day, but we usually check in over text to say Hi and that we miss each other or something. I don’t think a phone battery replacement would take five hours.” I buckled my seatbelt once Seth and I got to our assigned seats. “You seriously worry too much.” Seth patted my hand as he smiled. “We’ve got it all figured out. He isn’t going to have any time to check his phone with what they’re filming.”
“This is going to be a long ass five hours, Seth. This is why teleportation should be a thing. I could already be there, with Colby.” I sighed as I turned to look out the window, anxiously tapping my foot on the ground. Seth laughed and out of the corner of my eye, I spotted him hold his phone out to take a photo.
“Don’t you dare post that.” I looked at him wide eyed, which caused Seth to laugh more. “Relax, It’s a video. For memories.” I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms across my chest. “Should I yell it out now that you’re a paramedic, just in case there’s a medical emergency?”
“Don’t you dare. I’m too nervous to provide any care, nor do I want to start my career as a medic off by taking care of someone on a plane. Why aren’t we moving yet?” I peered up and around the seats, huffing as I noticed not everyone was seated.
“God this is going to be so funny to look back on.” Seth mumbled as he put his phone down.
~*~
“I’ve got all your stuff in the storage unit, and your car should be arriving in the next few days.” Sam smiled as he drove Seth and I from the airport. Colby was back at the house editing and thinking Sam had just gone out to get food for the two of them. “It’s really good to finally see you, by the way. Colby is going to lose his mind.”
“I’m so nervous.” I mumbled looking out the window of the car and taking in the change of scenery. “He thinks I’m still in my exam right now.”
“Oh I know. Dude is a love sick puppy right now.” Sam laughs and gives me a smile. “Once we get to the house, I’m going to go inside to ask Colby to come out and help me grab some stuff from my car, but in reality it will only be you.” He added while Seth readjusted the camera on the dash of the car. I nodded and prayed we’d be arriving at the house soon.
Once at the house, I laid down in the back seat of the car to hide until Colby came out. “Yeah it’s on the passenger side in the back, If you can just grab it for me as well as the camera!” Sam called out, signaling that Colby was coming my way. Before I knew it, the door was swung open and I quickly sat up and smiled as my eyes landed on Colby. “Surprise!”
Colby stared in shock for a moment, eyes wide with confusion. Next thing I knew, He was grabbing my legs and pulling me out of the vehicle and up into his arms. My arms quickly wrapped around his neck, resting my head on his shoulder and wrapping my legs around him as he held me. “What is going on?” Colby yelled out, turning to glance at his friends back at the doorway before slamming the car door and moving so I was pressed against it and using one of his hands to pull my head back so he could see my face. “You have an exam?” His eyebrows furrowed.
“Baby.” I laughed softly. “Oh my gosh I’ve absolutely hated lying to you. I graduated early, That’s why I was so busy over break and couldn’t see you. I didn’t tell you because I wanted to surprise you by being able to finally be here sooner than you thought.” I cupped his face in my hands and blinking back tears as I finally got a good look at him. “I can’t believe I’m here.”
“I missed your graduation?” He frowned, resting his forehead against mine. “I’m so confused baby.” He quickly closed the distance between us and kissed me gently. “But dear god have I been dying to kiss you.” He mumbled against my lips.
“No, It was a winter graduation so there’s no walk you didn’t miss anything.” I kissed him once more. “But I’m here. no more distance. It’s finally broken.” I ran a hand through his hair as I stared into his blue eyes. Colby pulled me closer once more and began kissing me again, deeper this time before beginning to head towards the house. “You guys should probably head our for a while.” Colby mumbled as he passed Sam and Seth, his gaze still set on me. “Already planned on it. We’ll be back later. Welcome home!” Sam called out as Colby walked away from them, still carrying me. I let out a small laugh and began kissing Colby’s cheeks and playing with his hair at the nape of his neck.
“I can’t believe you lied.” Colby fake pouted as he gently tossed me on his, ours now, bed before climbing on top of me. “But it was so worth it.” He mumbled before kissing me. “Now it’s time for me to welcome you home.” He smirked.

Cuddles With Satan
Genre; Hurt/Comfort, Flufffff
Word Count; 1.2k
Warnings; None, just the reader being exhausted beyond belief and Lucifer convincing you to let him hold you while you go to sleep.
Pairings; Lucifer (Supernatural) x Reader
I know that soft!Lucifer isn't everyone's thing, but I haven't found enough fics like this so I am filling the gap myself! I guess he's inherently OOC for being soft, but I've written him as in character as possible if he decided to be affectionate towards the reader. (Also comment if you think I should do something similar with Casifer, I am very much considering it). Enjoy!
Here's part 2!
Masterlist
-
“I know you don’t really believe it yourself, but you are right.”
You had told Dean, Sam and Castiel that it was okay to leave you alone with the Devil. That if he wanted you dead, you would be.
“Besides, why would I kill you? That little moral dilemma that you’ve got going on is far more interesting than your corpse would be.”
That little moral dilemma was that you liked Lucifer. And he knew it.
You were incredibly tired. You didn’t feel well, you hadn’t been sleeping or even eating properly and you had convinced the others to go so that they could get a break from Lucifer’s antics. You knew that if someone hadn’t left, you would have ended up with a full-blown fight on your hands, and you didn’t want to have to deal with the fallout of one of your friends conveniently forgetting that they were nothing more than an insect to an archangel. You’d already had the job of patching up Sam and Dean when one of them got a little too self-righteous and a flick of Lucifer’s hand had sent them both flying. Castiel at least had slightly better control, but you’d had to hold him back from starting something in retaliation more than once. Not that pushing the angel back by his shoulders would actually do anything if he had a mind, but so far it had served as a good enough reminder to stop him from antagonising the Devil.
You turned around to face him, arms crossed over his chest and head resting in one hand, leaning against the edge of the table. Utterly relaxed and confident. He tilted his head just slightly as he watched you, a smile pulling at his lips.
“I need to go and get some rest before I pass out. Please, please don’t do anything while I’m gone.” He stayed quiet, enjoying the look you were giving him, pleading him to help you out. Until you dropped it, huffing a sigh and shaking your head. You were going to fall asleep regardless and you’d rather not be in the main room of the bunker when it happened. You made for the corridor at the back without another word, heading to what had become your room. Naturally, Lucifer followed.
“How about I come with you?” You said nothing, allowing yourself a silent sigh. “What? Two birds, one stone – that way you get to rest and you know where I am and what I’m doing.”
Not for the first time, you cursed yourself for having ever opened your mouth. A few weeks back, whilst sharing some beers with the boys and reminiscing on happier times, talk had turned briefly to partners. Sam and Dean had mentioned that in each of their longer-term relationships, their girlfriends had said they felt safer being held when they went to sleep. You had agreed, saying that you usually also slept better if someone was holding you. The conversation had moved on, that had been it. Apart from the fact that Lucifer had been hanging around somewhere and heard every word, and hadn’t left you alone about it since.
“Not today, Lucifer. Please.” You could hear the smile in his voice when he answered and you knew he’d heard the defeat in yours.
“Come on, Y/N, just this one time. What harm will it do?” He just kept walking behind you when you didn’t answer. “It’s not a one-way ticket downstairs, if that’s what you’re worried about. You’ve got far worse on your resume than ‘cuddled with Satan’.” You could feel your fight draining with every passing second.
“Why do you even care about this so much?” You asked at length, leaving the door to your room open out of habit since you were still having a conversation. By the time you considered that maybe slamming the door in his face would have ended the conversation, he had already walked inside.
“Curiosity. Angels don’t sleep, as you know, so I’ve never experienced holding someone until they drift off. I want to know what it feels like.”
You stared at him for a moment, uncomprehending. You knew your powers of reasoning weren’t operating at full capacity, but that sounded so… genuine. Gentle. Usually bad things when associated with Lucifer but you were running out of both reasons and time remaining before you collapsed where you stood.
“Come on.” His voice was so quiet, so soft, that you would never again wonder how he had convinced anyone to do anything. You just hoped you were right in thinking that there were worse things you could be agreeing to.
“I- alright. Fine.” You raised your hands briefly in surrender then collapsed onto one side of your bed, faced away from him.
You felt the mattress shift beneath his weight as he laid down behind you, felt his gaze on you as he lightly traced two fingers down your spine. You had to fight to hold back your sigh. His hand moved ever so gently along your side, up to your shoulder where he applied just a little bit of pressure to push you onto your back. His expression was soft, one arm beneath his head as his eyes tracked the path of his hand. He didn’t even have to lean to reach over you and your eyes shuttered when he slipped his hand beneath your back, pulling you over to him with no effort at all. You found yourself pressed against his side, head on his shoulder and with nowhere else for it to go, your arm resting on his chest.
His hand started a gentle passage up and down your back and you gave up on trying to hold back your contented sigh. Lucifer smiled genuinely at the sight. He rested his chin atop your head as he moved his flat palm to your lower back, again pushing gently to reposition you how he wanted. With sleep already winding its tendrils through your mind, you figured in for a penny, in for a pound. You received an appreciative squeeze when you crossed your leg over one of his, and another when you wrapped your arm around his torso, laying your hand against his ribs. You played with his soft shirt for a few moments, moving the material between your fingers, before tucking your face more firmly against his shoulder. Lucifer shifted slightly and you felt the scratch of the scruff on his chin against your forehead and a gentle pressure before he moved back again. Even mostly asleep, that woke you straight back up again.
A forehead kiss? That had nothing to do with wanting to know what it felt like to hold someone as they fell asleep. You looked up questioningly to find his expression caring – caring – and his gaze already trained on you. He would only offer a minute, one-shouldered shrug in response. Just felt like it, the movement said. I don’t really care. You simply chose to lay down again rather than start another conversation, and Lucifer’s chin returned to your head and his hand resumed its path across your back. You eventually let your train of thought go so that you could finally get some rest, but you couldn’t help but wonder what it was going to mean to have Lucifer’s affection.

Broken - part 2
Summary: You reach your breaking point and confront the team.
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Female Reader
Warnings: Minimal use of Y/N. Hints to eating disorder. Language. Tony being an insensitive ass. Reader being very dramatic. A lot of yelling. Talk about Bucky's past and Tony's parent's murder. Innocent and broken Bucky. My poor attempts at being funny.
Word Count: 2.6K
Part 1
A/N: reader is absolutely dramatic in this and I love it. I can't say enough that this is my first work (second chapter, but still), I don't really know what I'm doing, but I'm trying. Also English is not my first language so pardon me for mistakes, I'm really trying not to be too repetitive in my writing and expand my vocabulary and just generally do better. Hope you enjoy!
Masterlist
Tumblr media
After a morning of hanging out with Cassie and Scott, Cassie’s mom, Maggie, came to pick her up.
You chatted for a few minutes while Scott and Cassie gathered her stuff and, after you said your goodbye, they took off. 
"Thanks for inviting me to hang out with you guys, Cassie’s such an amazing kid." you say to Scott with a smile while you get in the elevator to the communal floor for lunch with the whole team.
"No need to thank me. Cassie loves you so much, you’re always welcome to join us." He says back as the elevator dings and you get off.
You smile at him and look around to see most of the team already at the table wrapped up in their own conversations.
You don’t have “assigned” seats, but Tony sits at the head of the table on the only side that has only one seat, while the other side has two.
It’s very important for Tony to have this seat as he thinks of himself as the head of your family, even if he doesn’t want to be the team leader.
The rest of you gather around him, usually next to the same people that you enjoy having conversations with.
Today Vision was sitting on Tony’s left side with Wanda next to him, then Pietro, whose other side was empty so Scott sat there.
On Tony’s right was Peter, then Nat and Clint, you sat on the far end leaving a seat empty between you and Clint on your left, and the two seats on the head of the table on your right, also empty, with Scott in front of you.
There are gonna be a few empty seats because Thor, Loki and Bruce were currently in New Asgard.
After a few minutes of conversation with Scott, which mostly consists on trying to come up with your next prank, Sam, Steve and Bucky join you, Sam sitting between you and Clint, Steve on your right at the head of the table with Bucky between Steve and Scott.
You notice Bucky briefly looking at Tony on the other end of the table before bowing his head and staring at the table without saying anything, while Tony stares daggers at Bucky, stopping as soon as he sees you looking.
You think it's weird, but then again you know Tony and Bucky had problems so you let it go.
"Hi, baby." Sam says to you when he sits down, giving you a kiss on the cheek.
"Hi, Sammy." you say chuckling "how you doing?"
"Very good now." he says, putting his arm around you and making you laugh again. "Where have you been all day, I’ve missed you baby."
"I’ve been staying as far away from you as I could, baby." you say jokingly, to which he makes a pretend hurt face with a big gasp that makes both you and Steve laugh. "I was hanging out with my girls."
"But Nat was training and Wanda was hanging out with Vision." Steve points out, a little confused.
"Yeah, she means Tic tac and his daughter." Sam explains while you, him and Scott laugh.
Steve then join in on your laughter and you keep joking until Wanda uses her powers to put the plates full of food on the table, with some help from Vision.
As the lunch went on you all kind of talk to everybody, joking about stupid things mostly you and Scott have done lately.
You notice Bucky is quietly eating, not joining in in any conversations and keeping his eyes on his food.
Nobody is trying to talk to him either and you're about to when you feel Steve nudging you on the arm with his elbow.
you look at him and see him look from you to your plate a couple times.
You give him a small smile and a nod and you eat a couple of bites of your food before he lets himself concentrate on the conversation once more, but not before exchanging a bit of a worried and knowing look with Wanda, which you chose to ignore because you don't want to have that conversation right now.
You bring your attention back to Bucky "So, Bucky, what did you and Cap do after I left this morning?"
As soon as you ask the question the whole table goes quiet. You look around the room and everyone is looking weirdly from you to Steve to Bucky, which confuses you a lot.
You looked back at Bucky, who is about to answer but, after giving Tony a quick glance, he shuts his mouth, deciding against it.
You look at Tony who is giving Bucky a look that if it could kill, it definitely would.
At this point you're pretty fed up with this unspoken tension and, since nobody is saying anything, you decide to address the issue yourself.
"Okay, enough is enough." you say, getting everybody’s attention on you but keeping yours on Tony and Bucky "Will somebody explain to me what the fuck is going on?"
"Language!"
"Stick a sock in it, Rogers. I’m sick of this. I’ve been patient for three fucking months. I’m done with this. You have been treating me with child gloves and it ends now. First you all just disappear for a mission leaving only me behind, then half of you come back and nobody tells me anything about everyone else and when the rest of the team came back, all of you started acting like nothing even happened, barely acknowledging Steve’s absence unless I asked, and even then you just danced around my questions. Now he’s back with someone new and not only are you all still acting like nothing happened, but all of you are being extremely rude and deliberately ignoring the poor guy!"
You point at Bucky, who turns red at the attention and looks uncomfortable, but you go on. "AND Tony hasn’t stopped looking at him like he wants to murder him where he stands! Now, somebody tell me what the fuck happened then and what has been happening for the last three months."
you look at Tony who looks like he was about to explode, but doesn't say anything.
Bucky looks uncomfortable and like he's trying very hard not to look at you.
Steve looks at you with an apologetic face and you know he's not about to tell you anything.
You look around at everyone else and they all look either shocked at your little outburst or guilty because they know you're right.
Most of them avoid your gaze and the ones that are looking at you are silently asking you to let it go.
After a few minutes of no one saying anything, you lose the last chill you had.
"FINE!" you yell, getting up and slamming your hand on the table, startling almost everybody after the uncomfortable silence you’d been sitting in.
"If you’re gonna insist on treating me like a fucking child, keeping me out of these serious business, trusting a literal child more than me," you said pointing at Peter "then maybe I should start behaving like one. Or no, you know what, better yet, since none of you trust me anyway, I should just quit this fucking team and move out!"
Without giving anyone the chance to answer you storm off towards the stairs, going straight to the smallest training room to try and calm down a little, since it’s the one no one ever uses and no one’s gonna think of looking for you there.
You get on the treadmill and started running, not stopping until you see the light from outside dim and the gym lights turn on.
You turn the machine off and as soon as you stop you feel so dizzy that you almost fall over and have to hold on to the handles of the treadmill just to keep your balance.
After a few minutes you catch your breath, then stumble towards the punching bag and start throwing punches as hard as you can, still so angry that you don't even think about wrapping your hands.
After about half an hour of angry punching your knuckles are bleeding, but you only stop when your head starts spinning and you slip on the floor out of breath while you start seeing black spots.
You feel a hand on your shoulder and when you look up you see Bucky with a very worried look on his face.
He's saying something to you but his voice is so distant you could barely hear him. You look at him confused for a second before feeling yourself slipping away and then everything goes black.
You wake up to confused yelling and your head pounding, and it takes you a second to even realize where you are. You try to sit up but have an IV on your arm that stops you.
You look around the room confused, finding the source of all the noise: Tony is very intently yelling at Bucky who's just looking at his feet, his face covered by his long hair, while Steve is trying very hard to keep Tony away from Bucky while also yelling at him to calm down.
"Let go of me Rogers, it’s HIS fault she’s here!" Tony yells "and it’s your fault he’s here in the first place!"
"Tony, you don’t know what happened, you can’t just accuse Bucky everytime something happens!" Steve yells back, struggling to keep him away from Bucky.
"LOOK AT THEM! THEY’RE BOTH COVERED IN BLOOD AND HE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO SEE HER ALL AFTERNOON, WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?!" At this point you're sick of the screaming and especially of the random accusations against Bucky.
"Can you stop yelling for fuck’s sakes?" you say, even if it comes out lower and weaker than you’d like.
The three men all look at you, a little surprised and worried sick.
"Y/N! Are you ok? What did he do to you?" Tony says, getting angrier with every word, while you're just confused by his accusations.
"What are you talking about, Tony? Nobody did anything to me, I just passed out."
"You don’t have to cover for that murderer, just tell me what really happened!" murderer? What is he talking about?
You can tell he was trying not to yell too much at you since you're not the object of his anger, but his insults and his insinuating that you're lying are making you angry, a feeling that just grows when you see all the guilt and hurt in Bucky’s face at his words, which just breaks your heart.
"You want to know what happened, Stark?" you're the one yelling now "You, the whole team, pissed me off so much that I spent several hours running and hitting a punching bag so hard that I bled and then passed out from exhaustion and probably dehydration. And stop yelling at Bucky, if it wasn’t for him finding me and bringing me here I could’ve died in that gym, so you should be fucking thanking him!" you yell the last part so loudly that you think that's gonna be the end of that, but Tony has more to say.
"THANK HIM?!" he yells, his eyes open wide, almost in shock. "YOU THINK I SHOULD THANK THE MAN THAT MURDERED MY PARENTS?!" He yells so loudly that you're surprised he still had a voice to keep going.
But he did, a little quieter after seeing the shocked look on your face. "You have no idea who he is! Who he truly is… I know you love hearing stories about Steve and him in the 40s, but that’s not who he is now. It’s not who he’s been for the last 70 years!"
You're hanging on his every word, looking at Bucky’s general direction every now and then, scared to meet his eyes and have everything Tony was saying confirmed.
But that wasn’t a problem, since Bucky's back at looking at his feet, like a kid being yelled at by a parent for doing something wrong.
"He’s been under Hydra’s control all this time! He’s been taught how to be invisible, how to disappear and most importantly how to kill, in every way possible. He’s been killing people for decades, living as a ghost story, unstoppable and unbeatable. Three months ago Steve found him and set out to help him, and when half of us didn’t agree with him, we battled against each other. The half of the team that came back later had to spend some time on the Raft while we worked on their release. For Barnes it took longer, and Steve refused to leave his side. They were lucky enough to get them to release this monster, and if it was for me it never would’ve happened. So do not tell me to thank a murderer, a monster that broke my family in 1991 and almost broke it again a few months ago!"
You're shocked.
Not just because of Bucky’s past, but because of what happened three months ago.
Because of what everybody kept from you.
You feel absolutely betrayed by everybody. Everybody except Bucky, funnily enough. You're barely listening to what is being said.
You hear Steve’s "He was being mind controlled" and Tony’s "That’s all an excuse" but your attention is elsewhere.
You're looking at Bucky who is visibly trembling and, when he looks up at Steve for a few seconds because of something he says in his defense, you see his face clearly and it's wet with tears.
It absolutely breaks your heart and you make eye contact for a second before he quickly bows his head again and slowly backs away from the room, almost scared.
The two yelling men don’t even seem to notice the loss of a fourth person in the room and keep on yelling until they just keep repeating the same things, and you're done.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" you yell at the top of your lungs, leaving them instantly silent.
"I don’t care who you think he is. The man you seem to hate so much is absolutely nothing like the man that walked into the tower this morning. The man that’s been so scared to even just talk, that he keeps his head down and doesn’t make a sound unless spoken to. The man that saved my life today. The man that ran out of here is absolutely broken, and it’s 100% your fault!" you end, looking straight into Tony’s eyes.
"Y/N, Bucky’s-" Tony started, but you cut him off.
"Bucky is the only one in this tower to not have lied to me. All of you kept me in the dark on this." You're now looking at Steve. "You’re no better, Rogers. Half of the team, half of my family was in, not just any prison, but the fucking Raft, and none of you told me. Why? Why just me?" you almost whisper the question you’ve been wanting to ask for the last three months, tears flooding your eyes.
"We didn’t want to put that on you..." Steve says.
"We knew how hard it would’ve been for you to choose a side…" Tony adds.
"BULLSHIT!" you yell, startling them. "Do not give me this 'we did this for you' bullshit. You did this for yourselves, because neither of you wanted to see me choose the other one. But you know what? I don’t want to choose either of you. Now you both lost me. So I hope you’re happy, because you brought this on yourselves for lying to me for so long. I’m done!"
You get up, tears streaming down my cheeks, take the IV out of your arm and walk right out of the room while the two men watch you leave, too stunned to say anything.

You were trying your hardest. Gathering all your strength. Pulling all your power. The adrenaline was long gone. All you were left with was anxiety and panic. And it was taking everything in you to not let it take over. Let you crawl in bed and sink into the worst possible what-ifs.
So you kept all your senses on Natasha. It's helpful when all your focus is on her. Being in Bucky's circle of the very few close people he counted as family, you used to call Natasha your friend as well. Just like her husband, Steve, and Sam, she welcomed you with open arms. She was excited to meet you. Once Bucky was no longer hiding your relationship, he didn't stop talking about you. He was head over heels for you. The most in love he was ever in. The most in love he will ever be. So Natasha was the one pushing for the meeting. When it did happen, it went better than you ever thought.
While Natasha trusted Bucky's judgement, she wanted to see for herself. She wanted to be sure that the relationship wasn't one-sided. Natasha was fiercely protective of her chosen family, and you weren't going to be an exception.
But one look at you, and she was assured. You loved Bucky just as much as he did. And for her, that made you family. She didn't care about your bloodline or the doors of hell that your love would open. All she cared about were the big smile on Bucky's face whenever he talked about you and the big heart eyes you had when looking at Bucky. And that made a nice friendship blossom between the two of you.
But just like everything good that was in your life, it was ripped away from you once Rumlow entered your life. You couldn't keep her friendship after breaking Bucky's heart. But yours was just as broken. Despite not voicing it, Natasha understood why you did what you did. She had sympathy for you. She couldn't imagine having to leave her lover for another man she barely knew. But you did. And you suffered immeasurably.
So when Bucky asked her to be here today to look after you if things went south, she didn't hesitate. She didn't need Bucky to ask; after she saw you that day in Bucky's office, she knew she would do everything she could to keep you safe. Not just her. Along with Steve and Sam, the three of them had no problem risking it all for you. Not only because you meant the most to Bucky but also because you deserve so much better than you have.
Natasha has been a great help in distracting you from the clutter happening downstairs. Once you got to the room, before you could break down, Natasha had already started talking. You were catching up. Mostly from her side. You didn't have that much to share.
Inevitably, you started talking about her and Steve's daughter. And just like this, you were looking at adorable baby pictures and happy family moments while listening to cute stories. And that put a true smile on your face.
One would think after three miscarriages you would be envious or hateful, but you weren't. Not in the slightest. Not just with Natasha, but you were always happy to hear mothers talk about their children. Their excitement was always endearing. You were aware of how different your situation was.
Because every time, you could never help the dread filling you, sitting on the bathroom floor with the positive pregnancy test in hand and tears running down your cheeks. Or the tiny relief in your heart when the doctor would tell you that you lost the baby. It was still a painful thing to go through, but you felt a bit of ease. And for that, guilt found a home in your heart.
Lots of women prayed for this. Lots of women put money, time, and effort into having it. But there you were. You always tried to be careful and take procession, but it would still happen. And that only intensified your guilt.
Even though you wanted to be a mother for as long as you could remember, you couldn't fathom the idea of bringing a child into this world. Your world. To see your baby go through everything you were going through, after you had sworn that your kids would never see what you had seen, would have been the end of you. To be unable to protect your baby would have killed you. You would be bringing a baby that you weren't sure anybody wanted. A baby that Rumlow forced into you. A baby who would grow up in a broken family. You were barely getting by, and you were smart enough to know having a kid wouldn't change Rumlow. It would make him worse. And to bring a child into life only to suffer like you, you couldn't think of anything more selfish.
So whenever Rumlow made you lose a baby, you didn't feel as bad as you should have. It only meant you had to sit through an hour or two of Rumlow and your father blaming you for failing to do your woman's duties. As if Rumlow's anger issues weren't what led you to the hospital bed, bleeding for the upcoming weeks, Exactly why you didn't want to add a child to this dilemma
You kept chatting with Natasha. The bedrooms' floor was far from Bucky's office. So you couldn't hear anything. And somehow, that was both reliving and worrying at the same time. Natasha was sure Bucky had everything under control, so she was talking about cheerful stuff, trying to ease your mind off things. And it was working.
Your chat stopped quickly when you heard the doorknob move. Both of getting into fight mood. Instantly, a breath you didn't know you were holding left you as Bucky entered the room.
"Ever heard of something called knocking, James?" Natasha tried to break the ice, as she could feel the tension and stiffness coming from your body next to her.
"Sorry if I don't knock in my own house. How rude of me." Bucky joked back, getting Natasha's hint. also a way of confirming that things went well.
"Love when you're self-aware." Natasha said as she stood up, knowing it was time for her to leave.
"Now, excuse me, I believe my husband can't live without me any longer." That pulled a small laugh from you as Natasha turned you.
"I will see you around, sweetie." Natasha told you as she went to leave, not waiting for a reply. It was like she knew you would. Will you see her around?
Natasha passed Bucky, giving him the encouragement smile she knew he needed. Then she left. Silence filled the room. Only the sound of your breathing. Bucky was the first to break it.
"It's all done." It was a simple statement. So simple, but you needed to hear it. He had to say it.
"It's all taken care of. You don't have to ever think about them again. They won't hurt you anymore. You're safe now."
There was no way Brock Rumlow and Alexander Pierce were getting out of the warehouse he was keeping them in. They were as good as dead. They had no men to fight for them. They sold them for the right price, Bucky's protection, and the promise to work with Bucky in the future. In addition, Bucky was going to take his sweet time with them. The slowest, most torturous death ever. So yes, you were safe.
You wanted to cry. Happy tears for the first time in your life. Tears of relief. A burden that had been keeping you tied down for so long was finally gone. You were free.
"I don't know how to thank you." It was sincere. You can never thank him enough. He did so much for you.
"You don't have to." He would have done more to ensure you got out of this life. Way more if it was required.
"Everything will be back in your name tomorrow." It was your money. Your empire now. You get to decide what you want to do next. And Bucky wasn't going to take that away from you.
But you didn't want it. It felt tinted. It felt haunted. It was coated in your blood and tears. And you didn't know if you would ever be comfortable using it. However, having the conversation with Bucky again to keep it all because he would know what to do with it better was going to be pointless. So you didn't say anything.
Silence sat between the both of you again. Neither of you knows what to say. So much to be said. So much hanging in the air. But how can you approach it?
"Now, you can leave if you want." It was so difficult to say. However, Bucky knew he had to give you a choice. Maybe you wanted to end this chapter in your life. Walk away and never look back. Cut ties with everything that might remind you of the battles you fought. It would hurt him immensely, but he would understand and support you.
"Do you want me to?" Your voice was above a whisper. You were the one always offering to leave, and he would turn it down. But there was too much at risk then. Now, there wasn't. Maybe your desperate need for him made you read too much into things. Your blind love for him made you wish for things. And maybe you weren't on the same page.
But if you left, where would you go? You had no place to go. You had no family, and Rumlow made sure you lost the small number of friends you had. Other than Bucky, you had no one. So if you left, you would be alone. And that scared you. But also, you were too big of a problem to burden Bucky more. However, you couldn't help the question from slipping past your lips.
"Never." Bucky's answer was immediate. He signed as he moved to sit next to you on the bed, holding your hand between his. His touch was comforting as always.
"I never want you to leave, doll. Not again." Even the thought of you leaving was too cruel.
"I should have stopped you the first time. I should have fought for you. I should have stood in everyone's face."
"Everything that happened to you was because of me."
Guilt filled every fibre of Bucky's being. He should have burned the world down for you. Instead, he handed you to the wolves. You were about to tell him that wasn't true. That there was no stopping you. That you thought you were doing the right thing for the both of you. But he didn't let you.
"I chose the easy way out. I gave up too quickly. And you paid for it."
Nothing you could say would make Bucky see things differently. Every time he saw the scars on your body, he was reminded of the coward he was. It hurt Bucky to think how the only time in his life he wasn't brave enough was for you. Because who doesn't fight for his love? Bucky would give everything for you to forgive him.
"If you give me a chance, I will live the rest of my life making it up for you. I will show you my love. I will make you my world. My everything. My life. My girl"
Every word that left Bucky's mouth was genuine. He meant it. You were the thing Bucky lived for.
"Bucky." And you felt his sincerity. And it brought you to tears because you couldn't be what he wanted you to be.
"I'm too broken."
A part of you was ashamed to say it out loud, but it was true. But what you had gone through broke too many things in you. After finally being free, you saw how damaged you were.
"No, doll, you aren't. And you will never be." It was painful to hear you talk about yourself so negatively.
"But I'm. I'm not the person you fell in love with. I'm barely the shell of her. You don't want this."
Nobody would want this. Nobody deserved to be with this. You couldn't repay Bucky's kindness by throwing more on his plate. And you were sure he wouldn't want you anymore.
"There isn't a version of you that I don't want. There isn't a time when I'm not hopelessly out of my mind in love with you. I need you just as much as I need the air to live. I'm in pieces without you. I was a dead man before and without you. You are my revival."
"We will take it as slow as you want. Everything will be at your pace. And I will be by your side at every step of the way. Every bump. Every hardship. I will be here. I will hold your hand through it all."
If you thought what you went through was going to drive Bucky away, you were wrong. It only made Bucky admire you more. You were a fighter. A survivor. And it's time you rest. It's time for him to take care of you. And he would do it gladly.
With your current emotional and mental struggles, hearing Bucky announce his profound love for you and his willingness to be your rock and support made you break down into sobs.
"Doll, what's wrong?" Bucky got worried as your sobs got louder. Did he say something wrong? He would take it back right away.
"I don't deserve you." You blurted it out between your sobs. Today's emotions are finally catching up to you. Everything he did and was willing to do for you
"You deserve better. But if you give me the chance, I will live my whole life cherishing it." Bucky would worship the ground you are walking on if you became his again.
"I never loved someone so much before. You are the only one I have. The only one I have ever had." You wrapped your hand around his neck, wanting to hide in him. And he pulled you closer to him. You laid a small kiss on his neck as a sign that you wanted this too. You wanted to have him be yours again. You wanted the good in life. And Bucky was the best. Bucky took your sign and couldn't help but smile. He had you back.
You stayed like this for a bit, ravishing in the moment. His hands were rubbing your back softly.
"Maybe we should take that trip to Thailand." Bucky said as he felt you move away.
"I still have the flight tickets." A genuine laugh left you that warmed Bucky's heart, making his eyes shine.
"I think we are a couple of years late for this plane." Your hands stayed in Bucky's, refusing to sit without his touch on you somehow.
"Nonsense. We can still make it." With his other hand, Bucky wiped away the remaining tears on your face.
"If you say, though." Talking about the trip you were planning right before everything went bad was heartwarming. Like you would be able to pick up from where you left.
"But I need to go shopping first."
"First thing in the morning. All my cards are yours. Then we can go to the airport." Starting from this moment on, Bucky was going to get back to his favourite hobby in the world. Spoiling you. And god, was he about to spoil you like there was no tomorrow.
You knew he wasn't joking. Bucky was going to go above and beyond for you. His eyes showed his determination. And it felt marvelous to know that in this cruel world, there was someone who wanted you so much. And that someone was Bucky Barnes. You were lucky.
Unable to resist the urge, you went back to hiding into his neck, loving the way you fitted against him. So perfectly. Like he was made to hold you. You wanted to stay like this forever. Safe and secure in his arms. Wanted and desired in his eyes. Loved and cherished in his heart. You wanted the things only Bucky could give you. You wanted Bucky.
"Please, don't leave me."
"Never, doll. I'm not going anywhere."
You knew you were going to be okay. You were going to be fine. You were in the clear. You were out of the woods.

"You need to leave." Bucky asked, without even looking you in the eye.
"What does that mean Buck, did something happen?" you tried to touch him, but Bucky dodged your hands. "What is happening?"
"This mission made me think of many things..." he sat in the kitchen chair, Alpine didn't take long to pass between his legs, waiting for a caress. "I wasn't made for this life, for this." he pointed to the small space between you two.
"Wait, what do you mean?" your voice was already trembling when trying to at least understand what was happening. "Are you breaking up with me? Buck, two days ago everything was perfect, what happened? Please, I need you to explain."
"I already told you, I just..." for a second he looked at your face. The thick tears that ran down your cheeks made him feel his own throat close. He would have a few more reasons to hate himself after that. "I can not do this anymore."
"Is this your best explanation?" you charged and he just shrugged.
The noise of your engagement ring hitting the kitchen table bothered him, but not as much as seeing you walk out the living room door without even looking back. For the first time in a while, it was his turn to allow tears to flood his face.
One month, thirteen days and a few hours.
Maybe it wasn't the healthiest thing in the world to count the dates of the last time you saw your ex, the fateful day he kicked your ass.
You wish you were one of those people that you get over easily, or at least pretend to be by posting happy pictures on social media, but that wouldn't be you.
Your type was more to isolate yourself and drown in your own sorrows, which was also not possible due to work. You had to put on your best social mask and move on, even if you still didn't believe a word Bucky had said.
"Chef, there's a visitor for you." Tyler, one of your employees, caught your eye.
Before he even speaks, you can feel him watching you. Everyone there knew something was wrong.
"How urgent?" you ask with zero atention.
"It's an avenger, so I assume this is the most urgent we've ever had at this restaurant."
The knife in your hand fell onto the board, a chill running through your body. If it was Bucky, Tyler would have told you, after all, your ex-boyfriend had already spent a lot of nights accompanying you to the restaurant. Could be news about him, maybe not good stuff.
"Annya, can you take over for me?" you asked, hearing a "Yes, chef!" by far.
Your mind ran through different scenarios, the vast majority without a happy ending, while you took off your tame and cap.
The weight on your shoulders disappeared when you saw Sam smiling, waiting for you at one of the tables. As soon as he got to his feet, you hugged him.
"I thought I wouldn't have the privilege of seeing the head chef."
"Consider yourself privileged then, because tonight promises." you settled into the chair across from him. Despite the smiles and the mild climate, something told you that there was something more. "So, you came to try the new meat."
"No, not today, but I'm still trying. I'm here to talk about Bucky."
"Did something happen?" your heart immediately sped up, all those fears coming back like a flood.
"It's all right with him." Sam reassured you, noticing your posture change at the time. "I have some information and to be honest I can't stand to see him suffer over it any longer."
"Suffer for what?"
"You, what else would it be?"
"Sam, he chose to leave me. It still hurts, but there's nothing you can do about it." you explained, seeing him nod. "But if there's anything I can help you."
"I'd rather tell you and then you choose what to do. On the last mission, some personal information was leaked. About the team, about Sarah, the boys, you."
"Exactly what about me?"
"About you and Bucky, they used that to try and coerce him, that's what made him choose to walk away from you." he handed you a cell phone.
On the screen, a photo of you and Bucky leaving the restaurant at night, another of the two of you running together, another of you in a coffee shop.
"Who got this? I-I... Are we in danger?" you looked around for suspects, for cameras trained on the two of you, but found only people engrossed in their own conversations. "Who made this?"
"It does not matter now."
"How does it not matter?"
"Bucky sorted it out and whoever it is, they won't be bothering you anymore." Shit. Sam doesn't need to say more for you to understand what resolve means. "I'm only telling you this because I know you still like him."
"It takes two to make a relationship, at the very least." you responded right away.
"Just think, wouldn't someone who did all this thinking about protecting you love you?" Sam asked and laughed when he saw your confused face. "Oh man, you two deserve each other."
"Should I talk to him?"
"Well, he's in town, no plans for the next mission. Maybe you should." Sam shrugged and got to his feet. "Now that I've taken this weight off of me, I'll let you work, but I'll be back and you better cook the best steak I've ever had."
"Order noted." you said goodbye to him with a quick hug. "Thanks Sam."
"Don't thank me, I'm just doing my part as the future best man." he winked, eliciting a laugh from you and then left.
The evening at the restaurant, despite being full, seemed to take forever to pass. Amidst the food, your head wandered over the images you'd seen, what Sam had said.
It was past midnight when you got home. You took a hot shower, somehow trying to calm your mind, but that wasn't enough. Before putting on your pajamas, you thought a little more. You couldn't miss that opportunity, even if it was to close that chapter of your life. You got dressed and headed towards Bucky's apartment.
Your legs made you walk from side to side, restless in front of the door, your mind bubbled with possible excuses for a visit during the night. You knocked a few times and got no response, but you couldn't just walk away.
The keys you still had danced between your trembling fingers before they even reached the lock. Upon opening the door, you can see Alpine look up curiously, immediately jumping off the couch and going to tangle at your feet.
"Hello for you too!" you bent down, feeling the soft white hairs by your hand.
The door behind you closed by itself, giving you only the trouble to lock it again. The small apartment seemed untouched since the last time you were there, you took off your three shoes, leaving them next to Bucky's boots, an old habit.
The same brown cushions as the Alpine ration in the same corner. Your photo still next to the TV. If you closed your eyes, you could remember the day that picture was taken, your nervous laughter being on a Ferris wheel and Bucky's arms around your waist.
You've heard Bucky before you've even seen him in full. The murmurs came from the side of the sofa, and as you feared to find him, he was lying on the floor, only a pillow and a sheet protecting his body from the cold floor. He was muttering something incomprehensible, even from a distance you could see the sweat gather on his face.
Trying to get closer without scaring him, you knelt beside where he was lying, Alpine climbed on the arm of the sofa, carefully following your every move.
"Buck?" you called him in a whisper, not having much effect. This time, you chose to touch his shoulder, shaking it slightly, the nickname involuntarily falling from your lips. "Babe?"
As if out of breath, Bucky sat up, catching all the apparently lost breath. It took a few seconds for his blue irises to meet yours, trying to assimilate what was happening.
"Am I still dreaming?" he muttered to himself, it was only when he felt your hand take his that he seemed to realize reality. "You are here?"
"Yes." you replied, settling into a sitting position.
For a few seconds, you chose to just watch him. The disheveled hair and beard had been undone for some time, a little longer than usual. Next to his military dog ​​tag, hung the ring you wore. Regret took over your body for leaving behind.
"Are you well?" his husky voice interrupted you from daydreaming about the two of you's recent past. Trying to push those thoughts away, you just shook your head and tried to do your best on your own, but you already knew him to know that wouldn't convince him.
"I should be asking that. Was I having a nightmare?"
"Yes... I couldn't sleep and in the little time I could, some demons decided to take the time to disturb me." just as you had, he smiled and just like him, you knew that all was not well. "What are you doing here?"
"Needed to see you." your hand that clung to him let go, busy pinching your own hand nervously. "I've been talking to Sam."
"I don't know what he told you, but I can guarantee..."
"Please let me speak." you cut him off, afraid he would ask you to go again. "I know about the threats, I know about everything and I wonder what your head must be like. But what I want you to understand is that I'm okay with it."
"You do not understand."
"You can help me with this. It may sound silly, but, I don't know, I can learn to defend myself, I can spend more time around you. I just don't accept that our story ends like this, for fear of something that still it didn't even happen. I want to try, I want to stay!" you had to pull yourself together after dumping everything on him.
It could just be your impression, or maybe just the street light streaming in through the window, but you could have sworn his eyes were teary.
His hands pulled yours to lock around the back of his neck. In a rush of courage, you crossed your legs over his, settling in his lap. His hands slid down your back, locking onto your waist.
"Say you don't want me, that you don't love me anymore and I'm gone." you whispered and he immediately denied it.
"They said your name, they talked about you, about us and I didn't know how to react." he closed his eyes for a moment, sighing as he felt your fingers tangle in his hair. "I don't think I've ever felt that… that fear. I thought it would be easier to walk away than stick around and let them hurt you. But shit, it hurt. It still hurts not to have you around."
"If you want, I can stay away, just ask, I understand. I just need you to be honest." His hands, previously tied around your waist, went up to your face, wiping away a few tears. "Now if I stay, we'll get through this together. Please..." your voice came out a lot lower than you expected. "Ask me to stay, tell me you still love me."
Your current self was waiting for an answer, yearning to hear those damn three words. Your now self didn't have a shred of regret. If at any time you dared to rethink what had been said, that was left behind when you felt his lips on yours.
His right hand tangled in your hair, deepening his lips on you, while the other kept you attached to him, squeezing your waist. His tongue drew the roof of your mouth, such a good and familiar feeling. God, how you missed that.
"I love you." Bucky's voice murmured, moving just a few millimeters from your lips. "I love you." he stole another kiss, this time even more intense. "I love you, every bit, every part." the kisses began to go down the back of your neck, reaching that part that shivered your entire body.
"Bucky, please."
"Let me love every piece of you, please doll." he asked, letting his tongue run up to the edge of your ear. "Fuck, let me show you that I haven't stopped loving you for a second."
"You have no idea how much I've missed you babe." you whispered, pressing your still covered intimacy against him.
Heat was starting to build up in your core, making it impossible to think. His lips pulled away from yours, only for in a single thrust, he'd jump to his feet and keep you locked in his arms. It didn't take long for you to feel your body against the soft fabric of the bed. Bucky took a little time to admire you, there again. The red eyes, the shy smile that was still there, even after so long.
"I missed you so much, here, in my bed, being all mine" his eyes asked permission to continue and a slight nod was enough for your pants and your blouse to find the bedroom floor.
His metallic hand ran over your shoulder, gently removing your bra, with each new piece of skin uncovered, you felt his lips deposit quick kisses, the urgency to be able to feel each piece of yours.
"Do not tease me." you asked when his lips touched your nipple. The tongue circling the protruding point, eliciting a timid groan from you.
"You are so sensitive, so good." the wet kisses descended towards your intimacy, touching with the lips the thin and humid fabric that prevented it from going exactly where you wanted.
You even tried to fight back, but even strangled, Bucky could hear you.
"Don't hold back, babe." he pulled the fabric off, tossing it along with the pile of clothes on the floor. Distracted lips, sliding down your thigh. "Let me hear you."
"It's dawn Buck, I don't want them to think... Fuck!" his tongue went straight to your clitoris, eliciting a muffled scream.
"What you saying." he pulled back a little, just to admire her intimacy. "All this for me?"
"It's how I missed you." Bucky dove into your intimacy, sucking your spot.
You could already feel your body about to boil. His tongue slowly circling your clit, while one of his fingers slowly entered your pussy, soon becoming two.
Sweet nothings came out of your lips, begging for something you didn't even recognize and it didn't take long for your vision to become blurred when you felt his tongue being replaced by the vibranium hand, the fingers cold as snow in contact with your clit were more than enough to reach your peak.
"Don't stop, please, please Bucky!"
"Give it to me honey, I know you want to come for me."
For a few seconds, amid an almost hoarse scream, your previously blurred vision disappeared for good. Your legs were shaking as you felt him settle between them. The lips still wet from your juice slid down your cheek, making you blink slowly.
"Still with me doll?"
"Yeah babe." you took his lips, tasting your own and giving him the freedom he needed to enter you.
He thrust slowly, Bucky's face hid in your neck as he moaned low, murmuring sweet nothings to you. So tight love. How I missed this pussy, made for me. You are mine, all mine.
The speed gradually increased, the headboard of the bed knocked insistently against the wall and you just hoped that the neighbors had a heavy sleep.
"Love, I can't hold it anymore." his hand went down to your clit, circling the most sensitive spot on your body. "I can sense that you can't either."
"Just like that Bucky, keep fucking like that." you begged, feeling the heat take over your body again.
"Come with me my angel. I can feel you tighten around me, give me one more, just one more."
The moans of both of you came out in unison and leaving you on the verge of an orgasm, it was only necessary to feel his hot liquid invade you to reach your own peak.
Bucky stayed in there for a few seconds, until he got out of you and turned you on top of him, hugging you tight and sticking his nose through your hair. Your scent was intoxicating, your body against his made him feel again that that cold apartment was home.
"You forgive me?" the hesitant tone of his voice caught your attention.
"Nothing to forgive" you settled on his chest. "Just promise never to leave me for that again?"
He gently pulled your face, making you look into his blue eyes. "I'll never, never leave you again, that's the easiest promise I've ever made in my life."
"I love you Buck."
"I love you more my angel." you snuggled into his chest and little by little your eyes grew heavy, his hands sliding on your back, in a comfortable silence.
The last thing she heard before falling asleep was an indignant tone in his voice.
"Wait, do you really want to learn how to fight?"

Cute | Sam LaRusso x Single!Pregnant!Reader Headcanons
Chubby!Fem!Reader ○ a dash of angst but it's otherwise very fluffy ○ unedited
Request: The Single Mom!Reader and Moon was so cute, I just have to see a Sam one at some point!😫😭
Tumblr media
○ Sam met Reader at her parents' dealership. She was there for a school assignment that required her to shadow her parents at work and record everything to get a better understanding of the workforce. It's great for her since she's planning on going to college for business and that's what her parents thrive in.
○ Reader comes in with her parents looking for a car since she's just gotten her license. Sam sees her, but doesn't think much of it since the place is full of customers. She thinks Reader is pretty, but then it's back to work with her mom. Then Amanda gets on the phone and it's a serious call, so she's going to be on the phone for a while, which is boring as Hell. So sam just watches the show room from the window and her eyes keeps coming back to Reader.
○ At first it isn't obvious because of Reader's chubby body and pretty curves, but after a few minutes, Sam sees the way she puts her hand on her belly. Reader is also wearing an oversized jacket that helps hide her rounding belly, but she doesn't realize she's walking around the room holding it. Sam thinks it's kind of cute.
○ After a while of walking around the showroom, Reader's family is approached by one of the best salesperson at the dealership: Sam's own dad. She thinks it's the perfect opportunity to go talk to Reader, so she gets up and walks out into the showroom.
She walks up to her dad with a smile and he smiles back, his already friendly grin becoming one of pride. He hugs her and introduces her to the family he's working with, meaning she gets a free introduction to Reader. "This is my daughter, Sam. She's here to learn about the family business," he laughed, rubbing her back with a prideful smile. She shakes the families hands, but saves her biggest smiles for Reader when she shakes her hand. "It's so nice to meet you. If you don't mind my asking, what are you guys looking for today?" "Well, Reader here needs a car. She's going to be going a lot of places soon and we need something super safe," Reader's mom explains. She smiles while Reader gets a little shy, bowing her head while her mom leans is close to Daniel. "In all honesty, we need your best car that good for... babies." "Mom," Reader seethes, flustered and embarrassed. "Well it's true." Reader tries to pull her jacket closed, but it doesn't quite work. Sam feels bad for her, so she interjects. "Well, while you guys talk that out, Reader, we have a free snack bar. Do you wanna go get a cake or something like that?" Reader looks at her, then smiles. "That sounds nice.
○ Once away from her parents, Reader feels a lot better. She's still a little embarrassed, trying to hide her belly, but as soon as Sam shows her the selection of little cakes they have, it's not that big of an issue anymore. The cravings for something sweet overpowers that feeling.
○ They talk over cakes and tea, about high school and just girlie things ✨️ Sam can tell that the topic of pregnancy is sensitive for Reader, so they steer clear of it for now. It isn't a very long break since Reader has to be the one to sit behind the wheel and take a test drive in one or more of the cars her parents look at, but it's still very nice.
○ By the end of the day, Sam and Reader have exchanged numbers and Reader has a car she likes that also fits all of her parents' standards.
○ As time passes, Sam gets to know Reader and understands her a lot more. Reader eventually opens up and Sam learns that after finding out she was pregnant, Reader's ex left her high and dry, which caused her parents to become far more protective of her. It's the main reason she gets so easily embarrassed because of them on top of the fact that she's going to be a young mother.
○ Reader isn't necessarily embarrassed to be a mom, it's more so the way people look at her when they realize she's pregnant. It's the judgement and lack of empathy from strangers that make her feel awkward, which in turn becomes embarrassment because she's gone from everyday person to that pregnant girl. It breaks Sam's heart when she learns about it.
○ Sam treats Reader to special days out to get her out of the house and away from her parents. They go to the spa or the mall or just to the park or Sam just takes her for a drive. It's sweet of her to do and Reader constantly thanks her for it even though Sam tells her that she doesn't have to thank her for anything.
○ They're best friends before they even know it, inviting each other over for sleepovers and texting 24/7.
○ Sam finds herself giggling over her phone at something Reader said and her family gets the idea that she has a little crush on her new BFF.
○ As Reader gets further in her pregnancy, they spend more time together, especially after graduation. They went to different schools, but they attended each other's graduations, then they were free to do anything they wanted and go anywhere. It was a rite of passage in more ways than one.
○ Sam introduces Reader to her friends, which leads to Moon and Yasmine fussing over Reader while everyone else is left to watch. Reader is thankful to have found friends who don't care that she's having a baby and who are actually supportive of and even excited about it.
○ It's at one of their little sleepovers that things finally change.
○ Sam hadn't put a lot of thought into asking Reader out, knowing she has a lot on her plate as her due date grows closer and she's doing last minute preparations for the baby. Her feelings are put on the back burner in favor of helping Reader get ready for motherhood.
○ They were doing face masks while watching old movies, doing each others nails, just having a night of pampering. It was relaxing, sweet, filled with giggles. They had the LaRusso house to themselves, so no one else was around to disrupt them. It was one of the best nights ever, just the two of them.
○ When it was time for bed, Reader needed a little bit of help stepping into her pajamas and Sam was more than happy to help. She may have blushed a little bit, but hide it well, then they crawled into bed...
Sam's bed is big enough for the two of them, so they lay together, facing each other. Sam doesn't mind Reader's round belly taking up space, thinking it was rather cute, just like Reader. She smiles at her in the darkness, the only light coming from the moon through the window. Reader smiles back. "Thank you for tonight." "I already told you to stop thanking me," Sam giggles. "I love doing this sort of stuff with you." "I know," Reader sighs happily. "It's just... I want you to know how much this means to me, but I never know how to say it, so all I can do is thank you for these little things." "Well, you're more than welcome for all of it." "I'm just so happy to have a friend like you..." "Yeah... me too." Reader stares at Sam in the dark, following the line of her nose up to her eyes, then back down to her lips. She looks so soft bathed in the moonlight, curly hair laying beautifully against the side of her face. She cuddles up to her slowly, hesitant at first. Then Sam wraps her arms around Reader and pulls her closer, silently telling her that this is more than okay. So they cuddle up to each other, consuming each other in the smell of flowery beauty products and the ice cream on their breath. Sam stares down at Reader, heart hammering in her chest. In the dark of night, she takes a leap without thinking much of it, leaning in to press her lips to Reader's. She moans in surprise, but kisses back. It's short, just a few seconds long, and they breath in each other's soft air before diving back into each other for a deeper kiss. Reader grabs Sam's face, her hair tickling her fingers, while Sam holds Reader's waist. They moan into each other's mouths sweetly, basking in each other's warm embrace and tenderness. They lay for what feels like forever, kissing until they can't stay awake anymore.
○ From that night forward, Reader and Sam have been a thing. No one is really surprised when they announce their relationship, though their parents wonder if it's a good idea to be start a relationship so close to the baby being born.
○ Sam assures Reader's parents and her own that she's more than willing to be by Reader's side. She knew what she was getting into when she asked her to be her girlfriend. It's good enough for everyone, especially if Reader is alright with it.
○ Not three weeks later, Reader goes into labor and Sam is by her side through the whole thing. She's wiping Reader's head of sweat and holding her hand through every contraction and push. Sam cries more than Reader does when the sweet little baby boy is born.
○ Reader gets to hold him first, of course, but Sam is the second and she feels so honored.
○ Holding that little boy, Sam regrets nothing. She loves everything about this.

would you like fries with that?
DannyMay2023 Day 20: Nasty Burger
title: would you like fries with that?
words: 1217
Summary: Danny wants to enjoy a meal with his friends. The ghosts say no.
Warnings: None
AU: D-Stabilized took place in season 2, before Reality Trip
Beta: @probably-dead
~~~~~~
“Is that gonna be all for you today, Danny? It’s only half as much nasty as you normally get.” Valerie said with a grin, keying the order into the terminal.
Danny sighed dramatically. “It’s diet time. I’ve got to keep up my flawless figure!”
Valerie snorted in laughter, merely rolling her eyes as Danny handed her the cash. “I’ll bring it to you three when it’s ready,” she said, setting the money in the register and fishing out his change.
“You’re the best, Val!” Danny responded, grinning.
“And don’t you forget it!” She immediately shot back, mirroring his grin.
“Couldn’t if I tried.” He said honestly as he moved away from the counter, dropping his change into his wallet. “Because you’re also the best human at shooting my ass.” He muttered as he slid into the booth next to Tucker, knowing both he and Sam heard the interaction.
“One of these days you’re gonna have to stop flirting with a girl who routinely tries to murder you,” Sam said, throwing a glare in Valerie’s direction.
“And return to flirting with the girl who has murdered him twice?” Tucker asked, holding onto his chin in pretend deep thought.
“Want me to murder you too?”
“Uh… nope! Never mind! I said nothing!”
Danny laughed, enjoying the moment. It was finally summer vacation after freshman year and, despite a rocky start to the summer - what with the whole being ousted to the world and nearly experimented on by the government until he had managed to reset memories - the summer was going nicely. He’d just turned fifteen a few days ago and had a good birthday party with his friends and family. Even the ghosts had been leaving him alone recently, though he didn’t know why. He was absolutely not complaining about it! School started back in a week for sophomore year and he was really hopeful for a better school year than the previous one had been.
“If I stopped talking to people who tried to murder me, I’d have to move out from my house,” Danny joked.
“Or, you could, y’know… tell them.” Sam said, a discussion they’d had several times.
Danny just shrugged. “Eventually! We know they’ll take it okay now. But I still wanna, like, come out to them on my own terms.”
“Ah, have the gays claimed another of the few good guys?” Valerie asked, setting the tray with the trio’s food on it in.
Danny felt his cheeks heat up as a blush spread across them. “Uh, um, uh…”
Tucker, Ancients bless him, intervened. “Hey! I’m right here!”
Valerie looked at him pointedly, made a face, then returned to Danny. “Like I said, one of the few good ones?”
Danny really needed to think before he spoke in public, didn’t he? He couldn’t tell the girl he liked he was gay! “I’m… bi?” He said, trying to make it sound less like a question and more like a statement.
Valerie either didn’t notice his hesitation and took pity on him. “Ah, same.”
“You’re bi?” Sam asked, visibly more than a little surprised.
Valerie shrugged. “Guys are hot. Girls are hot. People who are neither and both are hot. What’s so shocking about that, Manson?”
“You don’t… look bi.”
“Not all bi people look like you, you know?”
Sam blushed as she was called out, mumbling something even Danny didn’t catch.
Valerie, smirking like she’d just won a battle, talked to Danny again. “I’m sure your parents’ll be fine with it, Danny. Weird as they are, they are very loving.”
Danny smiled shyly. “I know you’re right. It’s just still a lot, y’know?”
“I remember the feeling,” Valerie said. “Anyway, I’m on break, mind if I join?” She didn’t wait for a response as she slid into the seat next to Sam with a relieved sigh.
“Sure, slide right on in.” Sam said sarcastically.
“So, you guys ready for school to start next week?” Tucker asked, leading the conversation to more neutral territory.
From there, the discussion moved fairly easily, no awkward stutters or uncomfortable topics that needed to be avoided, impressive considering this was a ghost hunter, the half ghost arch enemy of said ghost hunter, and two ghost hunting sidekicks.
Well. It was going well until Danny’s ghost sense went off, a breath of blue air as ice water slid down his spine.
“What was tha-“ Valerie started, confused.
“My King!” A nasally voice called out and all four teens' heads snapped towards it, along with everyone else’s, as a cloaked ghost who was more eyeball than anything else hovered near the front entrance. “You are late!”
Danny saw Valerie tense out of the corner of his eye and was suddenly quite grateful she had chosen to sit with them for her break. She had no good excuse to run off on her own and start hunting the ghost.
He, however, had more pressing problems as the Observant floated over to him, rambling in a language Danny didn’t speak before stopping expectantly in front of him.
“My King!” The Observant said again, snapping his fingers in front of Danny’s face.
“King of the Losers, maybe,” Danny heard Dash joke a few tables over.
The Observant began to turn towards Dash, a blast growing in its hand. Danny’s brain finally kickstarted itself at that.
“King?” He asked.
The Observant sent a half formed blast towards Dash’s head, which the quarterback easily ducked under, squeaking in terror, before it returned its attention to Danny. “Yes, my King. You have missed your coronation.” It said, suddenly friendly and jovial again despite having just tried to injure someone.
“My King?” Valerie said.
“Coronation?” Sam asked.
“Aw, coronations have great food!” Tucker lamented.
“What the fuck?” Danny settled on.
“My King, did you not receive your summons?” It asked, clearly growing exasperated.
“Receive what?” Sam asked.
“My summons?” Danny asked.
“The food!” Tucker continued to mourn.
“What the fuck?” Valerie added helpfully.
“My liege, you are the High King of All Ghosts! Didn’t Cren tell you?”
“Who the fuck is Cren?” Danny asked.
The ghost - somehow - paled. “Oh no, Cren said he notified the Phantom child!”
“The fucking what?” Valerie asked, staring at Danny in confusion.
“Stop. Everyone just stop.” Tucker finally interjected, raising his hands up with his palms out. “You,” he said, pointing to the Observant, “have the wrong guy. Phantom isn’t here right now.”
If the Observant had a mouth, Danny thinks it would’ve dropped. “Phantom is right here, are you blind?” It called, gesturing towards Danny. “Danny Phantom, heir to throne of the High King of the Infinite Realms, opener of the Gateway, Bridge Between Life and Death, Savior of the Ghost Zone and Champion of the Mortals, is sitting right there!”
Danny just paled the more the Observant talked, punctuating each word while jabbing its finger towards Danny’s very much human face.
At just the perfect time, Jazz and Danielle, also human now, ran through the doors of the Nasty Burger.
“Danny!” Dani called. “I need to tell you-!” She stopped when she saw the Observant and Danny’s pale face. “Oh. I’m late.”
Sudden realization dawned onto Valerie’s face and she stared at Danny. “Oh, have you got to be kidding me right now.”
Not knowing what else to do, Danny just muttered.
“Fuck.”

Not talking about anyone here on tumblr with regards to this incoming rant just to make that clear you guys are awesome <3
Okay but on x some Jared fans really are getting on my nerves saying shit like how they miss him and using words like devastated because they aren't hugging him 24/7 and they've literally just been to a con
and Im here grieving my soul cat I FUCKING MISS HIM everyday is Hell without him I wish I could hug him like these Jared fans are gonna keep getting hugs from him because they go to every con
and I dunno but crying over inconsequential shit like oh I didn't hug my fave actor today I only hugged him last week sadface
the privilege is gross and it just really makes me feel shit barely anyone cared on X about when I posted about my cat dying all they care about is bragging about their cons and saying shit like this
and I'm not even jealous I don't care about hugging Jared if someone said I could right now that he's here I wouldn't care, even if it was Colin I wouldn't care right now, I just want my cat back the one who loved me unconditionally and so many people irl don't understand how much pets mean to someone
and like the girl at work who said nothing when I said my cat had died and tried to shove her puppy pic in my face and I told her as politely as possible (because all I want to do is cry) that I wasn't in the mood to look at the pic and I also said to her my life is shit right now and she said nothing to comfort then went on about how she's going on holiday to France next week. Cool. I don't fucking care. I've lost my soulmate and am shattered.
I think people need to relaise sometimes someone needs space and as long as they're not being an asshole about it its okay to not wanna talk or socialise. People go on about mental health but rarely actually help someone who is going through a rough time.
ugh this is why grief is the worst my mood is bad I miss my cat so much he always made my day and I'm lost and just so tired of seeing privileged people moaning about nothing when I've lost a piece of my heart
Just wanna say everyone on tumblr has been super lovely to me about my cat Sam and ily guys <3 and this is my home and seeing merlin gifs made me happy today even if Im still kinda taking a break
but x truly is a dumpster fire
Tumblr is my home always
also this is me venting and being in a heartbroken state at 3am
people are allowed to feel things and stuff of course, it just hurts me more right now because of everything so yeah ignore and hope you guys are doing good xx sorry if I have missed any notifs

The Moon
The Moon represents illusion and deception, and therefore often suggests a time when something is not as it appears to be. Perhaps a misunderstanding on your part, or a truth you cannot admit to yourself.
Author’s note: hi!! Welcome back to the moon! I’m sorry this chapter is a little, short but the next one will be meaty, I promise. Speaking of, we have ONE more chapter left, then an epilogue. Ah!! I’m leaving the country for vacation today(6/12), so please be patient for the next two parts :) As always, all parts will be posted on Wednesday at midnight est. I proofread, but typos happen. Thank you all SO much for following along. Enjoy!!
Paring: Sam x reader & Jake x reader
Warnings: angst af, cursing
Word count: 2.3k
PART 12:
127 hours.
No not the shitty movie with James Franco, that’s how long it’s been since you had seen Sam.
You’ve called him countless times, but he hasn’t picked up. You hadn’t texted him. What would you say? You hadn’t reached out to Danny. You didn’t want him to know. Of course you hadn’t texted Jake either. You didn’t want Sam to think any worse than he already does. You were stuck between a rock and a hard place. Okay so kind of like 127 hours.
You had barely left your place. It hurt, fuck it hurt. You knew you cared about Sam… a lot. But now it was evident that you loved him. You couldn’t even tell him. You think back to that day often. Part of you wishes you would have deleted the text messages. Part of you wishes you would have just told Sam from the beginning. You remember the giddiness you felt when you saw that text from Jake. That spark of excitement now felt like disgust sitting in your stomach. It wasn’t until Sam was gone, that you realized you didn’t want Jake anymore. You wanted Sam. That was a hard pill to swallow. It shouldn’t have taken this to happen to appreciate what you had, but often that’s how it works. You were completely at odds on how to handle this situation. If you showed up on his doorstep, they would all be aware of the situation. Even worse, what if Sam kicked you out? That scenario made you want to claw your eyes out. But the other option wasn’t working. You’ve called and called, he won’t answer. The last option was the worst. Give up? That didn’t seem possible to you. You had to talk to Sam. But before, you needed advice. You had rotted in your bed for long enough. You needed Margo. You shakily pulled out your phone and dialed her number.
“Hello?” She answered after a few rings.
“Hi.” You start. “Can you come over please.”
Margo laughs. “About time I heard from you. Are you and Sam trying to have a threesome? If so, I'm sorry to say I’m not into it.”
You flinch at hearing his name.
“You there?” She asks.
You swallow thickly. “Yes. Sorry, can you just please come over?” Your voice breaks.
“Honey what’s wrong? Are you okay? You know what fuck it. Yes. Yes. I’m coming. I’ll be there in twenty.”
You hang up and wipe tears from your eyes. You should probably clean up a little. You threw your bedding in the wash and took a quick shower. By the time you got out and dressed Margo was pounding on your front door.
“Hey, fuck, are you okay?” She says, taking your face in her hands.
You nod, but tears begin to well. You hated crying in front of people. It was so embarrassing.
“What happened?” Margo asked, sitting you on the couch with her.
“It’s all so fucked.” You say, wiping tears from your eyes. “I had sex with Jake.”
Margo looks at you almost bewildered. “What?”
“It was before Sam and I. It happened once. I didn’t tell Sam and he found out because Jake sent me a stupid fucking text.”
Margo puffs out. “Fuck.”
She remains quiet and then pushes her faded pink hair behind her ears. “How long was it before you and Sam?”
“I dunno. Maybe a couple of weeks?” You say.
Margo takes a deep breath. “Okay you know I love you. But I’m about to hit you with a hard truth. First, I know you care deeply about Sam. But also, I can see that you feel the same way about Jake. I’ve known that since the first time I was around you two.” She pauses for a moment. “I guess it might be hard to perceive that you’re all in on Sam. I mean you guys fucked and you didn’t tell anyone. If that were just a casual thing you would have spilled. It feels like there needs to be some self-reflection or closure there.”
You swallow hard at her words.
“But Margo I-.” You pause and collect yourself. “Yes. I had been in love with Jake since I can remember. Yes. We had sex. Yes. Jake hurt me. But that has nothing to do with my feelings for Sam. I didn’t anticipate Sam and I to be anything. It just happened. Now I wouldn’t trade it for the world, not even Jake.”
She looks at you blankly. “Have you told him that?”
You shake your head. “I haven’t had the chance. He won’t return my calls.”
She pinches the bridge of her nose. “You haven’t gone to his house.”
“No, absolutely not. I can’t face the rest of them.”
She sighs. “Babe, you’re going to have to. If you want Sam to know how you feel, you have to tell him. It doesn’t matter what the rest of them think.”
You take a breath. She was right. Fuck.
“You know I’m right.” She chimes in.
You nod.
“Well let’s go then.” Margo says, getting up.
You furrow your brows at her. “What?”
“Go clean yourself up and go see Sam.” She says calmly.
You make a face. “But Margo I-“
“Shhh!” She holds up her finger. “No more excuses. If you want him you have to go get him.”
You swallow thickly and nod your head.
It was time to go and get your man.
**
You sat in your car for twelve minutes. Staring at the front door. It was hot outside, but your blood ran cold. Your stomach was in knots going over every scenario in your head. You had never felt more anxious in your life. Margo had made you throw on shorts, a t-shirt, concealer and bronzer to make you look somewhat normal. Your hair was a mess but at least it was clean. You took a sip of water and shut your car off. You padded to the front door and prayed to god Sam would be the one to open it. You knocked and waited. Waited for what felt like 100 years. Finally the doorknob began to twitch and a sharp pain ran through your whole body. But it dissipated when you saw who was behind the door. Jake.
“Uh hey Birdie. What’s up?” He asked.
“Is Sam here?” You managed to speak out.
Jake gave you a strange look. “What?”
Fuck. Did he tell everyone already? Did he tell them that you two are over? Your mind begins to run a million miles per second, but it comes to a halt when Jake speaks again.
“What do you mean? We figured he’s been with you?” Jake asks, brows knitted together.
“He hasn’t been home?” You ask, with slight panic.
Jake shakes his head. “Not since he came and got mason jars and cucumbers.”
You feel like you're going to pass out. Was he okay?
“Hey.” Jake says, taking your arm. “Come inside.”
Your body mindless follows Jake as he takes you to the kitchen and sits you down at the island, grabbing a bottle of water for you.
“He’s okay, you know. He’s been calling into meetings. Josh has been quite hard on him because he hasn’t been there in person. We thought he was just shacked up with you.” Jake says lightly.
He’s okay. Thank god. You nod at Jake.
Jake chews on his lip. “Are you okay?”
You let out a deep breath. “No.”
Jake cautiously moves closer to you. “What happened?”
You stare up at him before responding.
“He found out we fucked Jake.” You say flatly. “He saw those stupid fucking text messages.”
Jake freezes and makes a face. “Shit.”
“Yeah.” You say, sniffling back a few tears.
“I’m sorry.” Jake says quietly. “I didn’t mean for that to happen.”
“I know.” You reply.
Jake looks over at you conflicted. “Did he end things? If he did he would be fucking stupid.”
You shook your head. “I dunno. He said he needed time. That was almost a week ago. I haven’t heard from him.”
Jake places a hand gently on your back and you flinch.
“Jake.” You start feeling a slight panic at his touch.
“What?” He asks, removing his hand.
“We have to hash this shit out. This is what has and is hindering Sam and I.” You start. “It’s fucked. Sam is absolutely in the right to feel the way he does.”
Jake furrows his brows at you. “No he isn’t. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
“I didn’t tell him. I started our relationship without trust and-“ You pause and run your fingers through your hair. “I entertained it. I thought about the what-ifs with you even though I was happy with Sam.”
Jake looks down at the floor. “That’s my fault. I should have let you go.”
You take a breath. “A lot happened and we never got closure.”
Jake looked back up at you with tender eyes. “Let me give you closure then. Birdie, I love you. I’ve loved you since we were kids.” He pauses and thinks before speaking. “I’m fucking selfish. You were right, I wanted you and the world. I didn’t treat you like my priority- Sam did. I can see that you love Sam and I want you to be happy. If Sam is who you want, I will not get in the way anymore. I promise.”
You feel tears welling in your eyes. “I do. I love him. I want him for the rest of my life Jake. But I’m not sure he wants me anymore.” You say starting to choke up.
Jake takes in the sting of your words but keeps his poker face. “That’s not true. Sam is crazy about you. Just give it some time, he will come around.”
You wipe a tear from your face. “Yeah. Hopefully.”
Jake stares at you for a moment. “Do you think we can still be in each other’s lives? I don’t want to live in a world without Birdie.”
You stiffen a laugh. “One thing at a time. But I don’t think I want to live in a world without Jake Kiszka either.”
He smiles at you. “Okay.”
You stayed there for a few moments longer producing minimal small talk before leaving. You felt slightly better hashing things out with Jake. You knew no matter what happened with Sam, you would never venture down that road with Jake. It was Sam or nothing now. That clarity and closure felt good. The only problem was, you still hadn’t heard from Sam.
**
It was now Sunday. Still no word from Sam. In a way you had come to some sort of devastating peace. It was hard to navigate your emotions. Margo didn’t want to leave your side, but you wanted to be alone. It gave you a lot of time to think, even though your head felt like a jumbled madhouse. You took things day by day. Sometimes you would think or see a reminder of Sam, cry, then continue on with your day. Others you didn’t want to get out of bed. Grief isn’t linear. That’s what was occurring, grief. Today had been somewhat positive. You made breakfast, cleaned your house, did laundry, and even made it to the gym. That productivity bug had died now, but it was Sunday. So you drew yourself a warm bath and made a warm cup of tea to drink. You stripped down and poured in bubble bath. Then lit a candle and turned off the lights. You stepped into the bath and sunk down as the warm water engulfed you. It was hard to feel anything other than contentment at the moment. When the water began to cool off, you drained some and refilled it with hot water. You then did that about two more times. Unable to fathom leaving the bath. You were unsure of how much time had passed but you guessed it was night by now. The thought of staying in your bathtub all night had crossed your mind, but you decided against it. Ten more minutes, you thought to yourself as you closed your eyes. Then you heard a strange sound, almost like someone was in your kitchen. You stayed still and listened, then nothing. Your mind was playing tricks on you. At times your imagination could run wild. Just as you had convinced yourself it was nothing you heard another sound, this one closer.
Could it be Margo? No. She would have announced herself.
Your heartbeat began to pick up as countless thoughts swam through your mind. Before you could formulate somewhat of a plan, your door knob twisted. Unable to think, you sank down deeper in your tub, hoping that whoever or whatever was on the other side of the door wouldn’t see you. The door opened and fear spread through your body, but it quickly subsided when you saw a familiar shape.
Were you dreaming? Did you accidentally drown in the tub and this is your brain's way of processing?
The figure stood there looking directly at you. You didn’t dare move.
“Sam?” You said in a near whisper.
“Hi.” He said quietly. “I let myself in.”
You were completely flabbergasted as to what to say to him. So you just said: “That’s okay.”
“Would you mind meeting me in the living room when you’re finished?” He asked.
You nodded. He began to close the door. “Wait- Sam.”
He popped his head back in.
You bit your lip before speaking. “Why are you here? I’m glad to see you, but after days of no contact I didn’t think we would speak again.”
Sam sighed a little. “Yeah.” He says running fingers through his long hair. “I talked to Jake.”

supernatural s14e1 stranger in a strange land (w. andrew dabb)
pre-ep recap being ac/dc shot down in flames much better fit than metallica's nothing else matters from 13x01 vibe-wise and matching the pace of the clips. good job, guys. and smooth segue to it being on in the car
s14e1 / the matrix
wtf jackles, what is this speaking voice/cadence. reminds me of keanu reeves?? usually when i make really out there sound associations, i'm a little high. but that is not the case today. he's acting more like an agent than neo, but getting the keanu vibes :p i can't think of what movie specifically i'm thinking of. the devil's advocate and constantine are the other two keanu movies i've seen a bunch, but i dunno
never good when i'm pulling a clip in the first few minutes 🥴 gonna be a 2-3 day watch i'm guessing.
Tumblr media
also don't really understand the styling choices. i get that it helps make a big visual difference between michael and dean, but like. dude wasn't dressing like this old timey fancy man with a flat cap in the au world. is this 20s-ish? never seen peaky blinders but this seems kinda similar? reading about collar pins and bars now. lol
Tumblr media
is this the grief beard i've heard about. well maintained, if so
MARY Sam, we’re gonna find him. Ketch is working that thing in London. Castiel is in Detroit. I know it’s been three weeks since Dean… Something will break. It has to. SAM Yeah. Yeah, you keep saying that.
so like why does sam need to be in charge and involved in this vampire thing with this bunker full of people? they were fully self organized and fighting before they came here. even if sam is de facto leader for whatever reason; delegate, my guy. no help to anyone if you're not sleeping. call jody in, i bet she could talk some sense into him. also vaguely funny that we're all Team Family Go! but the family i connect with the most for them is jody and her girls
Tumblr media
CASTIEL Does any demon know where Dean Winchester is? KIPLING I’m sorry, did you just say you lost a Winchester? Because, one -- that’s… interesting. And, two, how is that you lost Dean? I thought the two of you were joined at the… [Kipling glances down in a suggestive way.] …you know, everything.
in a way i wish i could have watched this without any knowledge of fandom because my knee jerk response is, ew. because i just don't see anything between dean and cas, i have a hard time grasping they're even close, i've just tried to accept it because the show tells us all the time. but maybe i could have come around to it more if i didn't know about the screaming zeitgeist that is destiel. or maybe i'd have the same reaction, i don't know. but anyway perpetually disgruntled knowing that my reaction is always colored somewhat due to fandom. i try to watch objectively but i know my feelings on things outside the show color my feelings of stuff inside the show
Tumblr media
oh, cas. what have you gotten yourself into this time.
Tumblr media
mmmk
SISTER JO Why would he say “yes” to you? MICHAEL Love.
short and sweet
man i know jackles is trying to do something different but i do not enjoy the way he's speaking as michael. ok now i'm getting umm. brad pitt in interview with the vampire?? like when he's talking to what's his face. for the interview. lol. christian slater! kind of slow, flat fairly emotionless narration.
Tumblr media
um. how in the world is nick's soul in his vessel? didn't crowley remake it or whatever? or did he not die at any point in the ... 7 years intervening between lucifer dumping him in s5 and getting popped back in during s12
from 12x13 CROWLEY I managed to pervert that spell. So your essence wasn't sent back to the cage, but instead, we found your discarded vessel a few years ago… repaired it, improved it, making it a fitting final home for the real you.
whatever, man. nothing makes sense to me anymore. also thinking about jimmy novak called being possessed by castiel like "being chained to a comet" - for all those years
NICK Ow. I don't get it. I don't understand how Lucifer could die and I could live. SAM Yeah, um… I think that maybe it's because the archangel blades were made to kill the archangel inside a-and not the person they, uh -- NICK Possesses and uses to almost end the world twice?
sure. SURE. that makes sense. not at all how anything else ever works on this show, but sure! i mean, i love mark pellegrino too but come on, guys.
SAM Stop saying that, please. MARY What? SAM “It's gonna be fine,” that everything's gonna be fine, we're gonna find Dean, and -- MARY We are. SAM You don't know that. Dean's gone, and we have no idea where he is or -- or if he's even still alive. You know, Michael could have… burned him out or… worse, and… MARY I know. I know he's out there, scared and alone. I know. I know he might never come back. Never think I don't know that. But -- I can't -- I have to think about the good, Sam, because, if I don't, I will drown in the bad. For Dean's sake, I can't do that. We can't do that.
that's fine and reasonable but it's also reasonable that sam doesn't want to hear a baseless placation.
jack getting a grandpa bobby now too apparently
completely zoning out on this demon monologuing. why did they bring the girl along who isn't a hunter. what happened to the devil's trap bullets? and couldn't they make the bullets made out of the angel blades they had on the au world? because with all the dead angels they surely must have a stockpile. wouldn't get this several minute action sequence with fake tension though so
Tumblr media
SAM Enough! There will be no new King of Hell. Not today. Not ever. And if anybody wants the job, you can come through me. Understood? (breathing heavily) So, what's it gonna be?
lol okay
SAM It's the -- It's the magic egg that kicked Lucifer out of the President. I thought we could use it on Michael, but -- Ketch can't find it. So, that's another dead end, which is just awesome.
i'm glad the show remembered because i completely forgot about that thing. thanks for preemptively ruling it out
CASTIEL Sam, are you all right? SAM Yeah, I've been better. I've been worse. You? CASTIEL I'm -- I'm just sorry. I should never have gone to those demons. SAM Cass, I -- No, I-I-I don't blame you. I… Honestly, I-I wish I'd have thought of it first. If it meant finding Dean, I-I'd work with -- I'd do anything.
❤️ take what i can get. (still need to sleep, sammy)
MICHAEL Now, you -- you know exactly what you want. You don't pretend to want to help people or save the world. Your want is pure and simple and clean. And that's why you are worth saving. That's why we are going to work so well together. Because you -- you just want to eat.
LOL what. michael loves vampires!
!! omg lol i just reread my 13x23 with my whole "can't kill michael now that he's wearing dean" is that the whole reason we get pellegrino back as nick, so we can find out that archangel blades don't kill the vessel?? 😂

The Librarian - Jake Kiszka | Chapter 5
a/n: i really enjoyed writing this chapter, lots of cute moments ;)
word count: ~ 2.9k
Tumblr media Tumblr media
JAKE’S POV:
As I lay in bed after a long day, all I could think about was (Y/N). What she did today, since she wasn’t at the library, if she was with Josh, if they went to the diner again or went over to our house. If they were in Josh’s room, across the hall from mine.
I felt the tears in my eyes, and I tried so hard to push those thoughts out of my mind. But it was difficult doing so, with no way of knowing what the hell was going on between them, if anything.
The next morning, as I’m eating breakfast before heading to work, Josh trudges into the kitchen, opening the fridge to look for some food.
“Morning,” he mumbles, with his back turned towards me.
“Morning,” I grumble lowly, not really interested in talking to him right now.
“Another day at the library, excited to see (Y/N)?” He teases. I roll my eyes and eat another spoonful of cereal.
“What’s it matter to you?”
“Because it’s obvious you have a crush on her?”
“So what if I do?”
“It’s sweet,” he says. My head whips up in shock at his words. I narrowed my eyes at him, confused as to what he was getting at. “She’s a great girl, and I mean she is pretty cute.”
There it is.
I look back down at my food as he begins making eggs.
“Onto another topic, would you want to help out with this film? I need some hands for lighting and sound, or you could be one of the main actors,” he changes the conversation. 
I think about it for a minute. Josh always struggles to find people to be in his films, so it’s always me, Sam, Danny, and Ronnie. And…I’d be able to spend some time with (Y/N) outside of the library, and my shifts that I am supposed to work.
“Sure,” I finally sigh, getting up to wash my bowl out in the sink. “Just tell me the dates and time so I can ask off.”
“We can do it on the a Thursday. We won’t really need that long, maybe a full day.”
“Fine. I gotta get going.” I grab my backpack I take to work, slip my shoes on, and head out
READER POV:
You open the slightly heavy door to the library, the familiar warmth and smell hitting you instantly. Jake stands there, in his usual spot, staring down at the computer. Hearing the bell above the door ring, though, he looks up, pushing his glasses up with his pointer finger.
“Hey, I’m returning these,” you say, handing him two books that you checked out last week. “I still have the others at home, but I read through a small bit of those and I couldn’t get into them.”
Jake just nods, not saying much, scanning the barcodes and clicking a couple things in the system.
"Alright, you’re good,” he says with a tight-lipped grin, a small one at that. Awkwardly, you thank him and walk over to the history section, quickly taking a look at something that you were questioning in your story regarding terminology, and get ready to head back out.
However, noticing Jake still appears to be sad and down, you take it into your own hands to try and cheer him up. Walking up to the desk, he gazes up, confused.
“Need help with something?” He asks.
“Not really. I, um, I wanted to ask you if you have any special interests?” His eyes widened a little in surprise, a gulp catching in his throat.
“Well, like my brother, I also like film, but, like super niche topics, I love pirates.”
“Pirates?” You push for more information. “Like Pirates of the Caribbean movies?”
He chuckles and shakes his head, his hand raising to nervously scratch the back of his neck.
“Technically speaking, pirates didn’t talk or dress that way, they’re widely inaccurate.”
“Yeah? Tell me more.” Jake’s mood has now lifted so much since you walked over. So, you reach your hand out over the desk for him to take. He looks over at his co-workers, who just sit there smiling at him, nodding eagerly, until you follow his gaze, and they stop.
“Take a break, it’s alright,” Lily tells him, raising her eyebrows suggestively. Jake’s face turns a bright red when he realizes that they were in fact listening in on your conversation. But, he shakes that off and stands, placing his hand in yours.
A spark shoots up your arm, like you got shocked from static, and at last, you get to really feel just how velvety yet calloused his hand is. You also realize that he is shaking a little, but you aren’t going to bring that up. You drag him back to the corner you spent the other day in, before you were whisked away by Josh.
“Stay here, I’ll grab my blanket and some books on the topic,” he says, running off as soon as you are comfortably sitting on the floor. You pull out another oceanography book just to pass some time, and before you know it, Jake is back with his blanket and three books in his arms.
You get comfortable in the same position as last time, close as can be beside him, the blanket draped over both of you.
“Okay, so what have the movies gotten wrong?” You wonder. Jake hands you one of the books and you open it, flipping to a random page.
“First, they didn’t make people walk the plank; I’m not sure where they got that idea from And I mean, some clothing was right, but overall, it’s not historically accurate. They wore similar things to regular seamen, baggy shirts, loose pants, they left the shirt unbuttoned because it was easier. And, the most significant thing, they didn’t wear underwear.”
“Oh god,” you grimace, making Jake giggle. “But it sounds reasonable.”
“It’s just easier being under the sun all day, in terms of wearing as little clothes as possible, but you know, still being modest and everything.”
“Right, right. Can’t be pulling a rig with your dick out.” This time, Jake lets out a rather loud and boisterous laugh, and your heart beats rapidly in your chest. You could definitely say you succeeded in making Jake feel better, even if you had no idea what was wrong before.
“What’s your favorite legend?” He thinks for a moment, picking up the book of pirate legends, flipping through it for a little.
“Well, you got Black Beard, Captain Morgan, Barbarossa Brothers, but I have a fascination with Madame Cheng, or Zheng Yi Sao, Black Sam Bellamy, and Mary Reed and Anne Bonny. I don’t have to detail each one but-”
“Please do,” you interrupt for a moment, giving him an apologetic look for doing so. He just stares over at you in disbelief. “I’d love to hear about each.”
“You would?” He questions. You nod in confirmation and look over his shoulder, down at the book.
“I mean, if you have the time. It seems like your co-workers allow you to just goof off for most of the day.”
“Oh, uh yeah. Well, my mom has known my manager, Lily, ever since she was young, she’s a family friend, so she’s a little lenient when it comes to like, taking time for myself. She knows I’m a good employee and she’s not gonna fire me anytime soon.”
“That must be nice.”
“It is, aside from the fact that she knows so much about me, she can read me like any one of these books.” You giggle and shove his shoulder playfully, his hands returning to the book in his lap.
“So, which legend would you like to hear about first?” He asks. 
“Which do you like the most out of all of them?” He pauses and thinks for a moment, then flips through the book, landing on Captain Sam Bellamy.
“This guy is pretty cool. He was a sailor who became a pirate, and the nickname “Black Sam” comes from the fact that he wore his black hair naturally, tied back, and didn’t use the powdered wigs that pirates and captains often wore. As far as scholars know, he is the wealthiest pirate in history, and, this is the coolest little fact, he deemed himself similar to Robin Hood, and is referred to as ‘Robin Hood of the Sea’. And his men were ‘Robin Hood’s men’.”
“So he stole from the wealthy and gave back to the poor?”
“Not exactly, but he wasn’t entirely brutal when he took things and people during raids. He really showed them mercy and, well, not exactly kindness, but he was very tame when it came to raids and captures.”
You take notice of the way he pushes his glasses up his nose every other minute. And the way his voice would crack slightly, but he still managed to sound so sweet and articulate. Also, you catch onto little quirks that he has, rubbing his chin while talking, sweeping his hair out of his face, and scratching or touching areas of his face.
“He was unfortunately killed when the ship he had taken over, the Whydah Gally, was caught in a storm and sunk. But it was rediscovered in 1984, and it was one of the first pirate ships to be uncovered and learned about. Oh! He also sailed with Blackbeard at some point. Which you know, is one of the most well-known pirates.”
“Right. That’s really fucking cool, though. What about Zheng Yi Sao? She’s mentioned in this book, but it only talks about her style and clothing.”
“This is one of the more interesting stories because you when you hear pirates, you may think it’s just in like, the Bahamas, or Carribean, but they were everywhere, and she was located in the South China Sea. I’m unable to read more complex tellings of her story because most of it is in another language, but the gist of it, her husband died and she took over their fleets and crew.”
Jake pauses to focus on finding the section that details her, stopping on the page. He brings the book halfway onto your lap, keeping the other half on his, so you could look as well.
“She was a serious badass. When she took over after her husband’s death, she came up with an entirely new code of conduct, which every ship had, and some were quite strict. Like in some cases, fighting wasn’t allowed on board, and the repercussions were pretty serious. For example, she made one rule that stated any pirate in her fleet would be decapiated if they were to be found stealing from the fund that was meant for everyone. Also, the same goes for any of them that raped a captive woman on board, or in general.”
“Fuck yeah,” you reply, making Jake laugh. “I love that.”
“She managed to escape every attack that was meant to kill her, and she was able to retire from being a pirate, which was a pretty rare thing to do, considering most were killed in battles, or storms and going down with their ship. She ended up dying at 68 or some age close to that.” You read over the words on the page that was in your lap, still listening to Jake talk.
But you could feel his eyes on you, admiring you as you study his special interest. He smiles softly, loving how intrigued you were and open to learning about something that he loves. He wasn’t planning on telling you, but he was very happy, and excited, that you were sitting here beside him.
He continues telling you other legends and stories as he flips through the book, finding one he forgot about or one that he hasn’t learned about before. You could feel how his mood had changed, and you were glad. Jake doesn’t deserve to be sad.
After talking through everything he possibly could, he sets the books aside and silence finally falls between the two of you. Jake wanted to so badly ask what was on his mind, but he refrains from doing so.
“Thanks for telling me all about pirates,” you say, turning your head towards him. “I think I know enough to write a film about them now.” Jake chuckles and looks down at his hands.
“Hey, if you ever do, I’m here to help you. They’re so incredibly captivating to me, ever since I was young.”
“Ever have a pirate birthday party?”
“Absolutely, when I was five and six. Hell, I’d have one now at twenty-two.” Your laughter dies down after a few seconds and Jake is wringing his hands nervously.
“Um, h-how are things with Josh?” He finally asks, keeping his eyes down in his lap. He was terrified of asking this, but it just slipped out. He needed to know.
“They’re okay. Working with someone else on a project like this is weird, but he’s done it enough times, so it’s pretty easy. We just recently finished the script, so we should be starting to film soon.”
“Yeah, like I said, he’s written a lot of scripts, he knows what he’s doing.”
“You should help us on set,” you say. “I think Josh mentioned filming this week, and we still need some actors.” Jake grins upon realizing that you were still thinking of him despite helping his brother.
“I am, actually, Josh asked me to help this morning. Can’t ever get anyone else to help him so he resorts to his family.” A giggle passes your lips and you pull your phone out of your pocket.
“Give me your number and I can tell you all about the script, and all about the character that you’re going to play, if Josh gave you one,” you hand him your phone, and he is stunned. But, he regains his mind and takes your phone, punching his number in with shaking hands, which you again notice.
“Are you alright?” You wonder. “Are you cold or something? You’re shaking.” Jake’s heart aches at the attention and care in your voice. How is he supposed to say that he’s nervous being this close with you, and with him giving you his number and all?
“U-uh, yeah, I am a little cold. This blanket only does so much.” With that, you take his hands, after he gives you your phone back, and cup them in yours, softly blowing onto them. Jake’s body goes stiff at this action, and his eyes widen in shock.
He gulps nervously and attempts to lessen the feeling of his pants tightening, which thankfully was covered by the blanket. He’s never been in a situation like this, and his mind was going wild.
“Better?” You giggle, letting go of his hands. He just nods, not trusting his voice. “Well, um I have to get going, but I’ll be sure to text you later so you have my number. See you later, Jake.”
Standing, you grab your purse and dash out of the library, making your way home.
JAKE’S POV:
I sit there, astounded, confused, and lost. What the fuck just happened?
One second, I’m explaining pirate legends, the next, she’s blowing onto my hands and I’m trying to keep myself cool and collected. Oh, what I would give to feel her breath on my neck, on my shoulder…on my…no!
God, this was not going to be easy.
Later that night, I’m laying in bed, watching a movie, when my phone buzzes. It’s an unsaved number, but from the message, it’s revealed to be (Y/N). I save her number right away.
From: (Y/N) 🌊🏴‍☠️
hey! this is (Y/N) :) hope your night is going well and you’re all warm and toasty
To: (Y/N) 🌊🏴‍☠️
hey :) i am, i’m snuggled up in bed with a couple blankets, so no need to worry
From: (Y/N) 🌊🏴‍☠️
i’m happy to hear that 😌 are you doing anything at the moment?
We continue texting back and forth, my attention no longer on the movie, but on whatever she’s going to say next. I sit there, the movie playing on, my phone on my chest. I pick it up the very second each time she texts back, like an eager puppy waiting for attention from its owner. Before I know it, it’s well past midnight, and we have been talking for a few hours now.
From: (Y/N) 🌊🏴‍☠️
wow, i had no idea it was so late already. i should let you go and get some rest :) 
To: (Y/N) 🌊🏴‍☠️
i’m not tired, and tomorrow is my day off, so i’m available all night. if you can’t sleep, i’ll be here
From: (Y/N) 🌊🏴‍☠️
well in that case…i’ll stay up a little while longer with you <3
The rest of the night, until two in the morning, our texts go back and forth, and it’s come to a point where I’m grinning so widely that my cheeks hurt, getting to know more about her life back in Minnesota, to something that her older sister and her did the other day to prank her older sister’s boyfriend.
She really has taken my heart, and I couldn’t wait to spend some time with her while shooting Josh’s film next week. Even if it’s during our break for lunch. Anytime spent with her is worthwhile, no matter what.

The problem here is Taylor’s fandom, and it was in a way caused by her but I don’t blame her because she was a teen who had no way of knowing she would become this successful.
Every single artist writes from experience, some only get a bit inspired by it and some write exactly what their experience was.
But no other artist has people dissecting their songs like people dissect Taylor’s and I think this comes from her writing those secret messages.
She was giving clues for who the song was about which started creating the weird dynamic that this fandom has today. I don’t blame her because she was being a sassy teen and she couldn’t possibly know the consequences. But that’s what, in my opinion, started this fandom’s obsession with clues and Easter eggs as well as the obsession with knowing who each song is about.
I have never listened to a song by Ed Sheeran and thought “who’s this about?”. I’ve listened to Harry Styles songs and realized “oh this is about X person” because his relationships have been more public. But I haven’t sat down to think who every single song is about.
When it comes to Taylor there’s debates about literally every song. Even songs like dancing with our hands tied which I thought was obviously about Joe, some people believed was about Calvin.
I don’t think “the muse” of a song is nearly ad important in any other fandom. And I think that’s also why Taylor gets so much more hate for writing about exes, because it’s become a much bigger deal in her case. She’s a lot more specific than other people, she used to tell fans who the song was about and the fans go out to hate that person.
I think it made sense when she was a teen writing about Sam cheating on her. A guy who wasn’t well known so he wasn’t getting as much hate but who everyone thought was an asshole. Now Taylor doesn’t explicitly say who each song is about but in situations like the current one, people just know. And this fandom lacks any nuance, Taylor never does anything wrong and the other person is always a villain.
I don’t know if my rant made any sense, I don’t think Taylor is doing anything wrong right now, but I do think this weird environment was created when she started putting those clues in songs more than a decade ago. I don’t blame her for it because again, she was a teen who didn’t know better and had no way of knowing just how big she would become, but I think it needs to be acknowledged.
Lastly, some thoughts I want to add on the whole “nuance” and “victim/villain” thing:
- Jake, John and Sam were clearly the “villains”
- Joe Jonas doesn’t get hate anymore but got way too much hate in my opinion. He was 18 and I’m pretty sure Taylor was the one who hung up on him? He was probably trying to break up with her in longer than 25 seconds but she got mad and hung up. They were both dumb teens so, once again, I don’t blame her for what she did but I don’t think he was as bad as people painted him.
- Calvin. Okay, Calvin is clearly an asshole and treated her badly, we all agree. I would have put him in the villain category BUT I need to acknowledge that Taylor has admitted to cheating on him, even if it was emotionally, with either Joe, Tom or both. I think we need to talk about how the fandom went from “No there’s no way she would cheat” to “if she cheated he deserved it”. You can’t be someone who is against cheating and then be okay when Taylor does it.
- Harry. People hate on him for not defending Taylor from his fans, but Taylor has never defended a single one of her boyfriends. And Harry was only 18 when they dated, no one should be expecting maturity from him.
Actual last thing I want to say: when it comes to Taylor and Joe neither is the villain and both are victims. But this fandom can’t entertain the thought of anyone other than Taylor being a victim and her ex being a villain. It’s like those people who say “he’s an asshole” every time q guy breaks up with their friend. But you aren’t an asshole just because you broke up with someone, you should leave if you aren’t happy. And Joe wasn’t even the one who broke up with her. I have seen people dragging him for being a coward and not breaking up with her, when:
1. You would hate on him for breaking up with her and breaking her heart
2. To me the song implies he didn’t realize they had grown apart
This started with the muse thing and ended with a rant about the fandom, it might be super messy and make no sense because I didn’t read it again. But these are pretty much all my thoughts and where I stand. Sorry for the long message
I agree wholeheartedly, anon! Thank you so much for sending this thoughtful analysis!
I think a point can be made that Taylor herself has actually shown quite a bit of compassion for Jake during the release of Red TV, especially regarding the ATW short film. She ended the MV on Jake's perspective and said that you can't help but feel bad for him. And I think that's true. I think, as time passed, she probably realized that he was someone who screwed up and wasn't mature enough to deal with such a complex relationship with a 20 year old who was in a precarious and difficult moment in her life. But I think she shows waaaay more compassion for him than fans are willing to.

How Sam met Alpine
It wasn't like Bucky was keeping Alpine a secret from Sam
No, it was the fact that for the longest time, Sam was sure Bucky got a cat
Bucky talked about Alpine a lot, normally just to vent about the weird ass shit she got up to
he thought it was pretty obvious that she was his neighbour
but I guess starting every daily conversation with "hey guess what Alpine did today..." like a proud stage mom doesn't help
It started off when Sam and Bucky had gone out for drinks a couple of weeks after Bucky and Alpine had their first 'family' dinner
"Alpine knocked over a few glasses today, just out of the blue. Completely for no reason."
"Shit happens i guess."
the next day, there was another thing
"So, Alpine just comes over and smacks my arm, like i was the one in the wrong. I didn't even do anything!"
sam laughs it off
"Kids these days man" Sam thinks it a funny joke because Bucky is a cat-dad
Bucky is confused because should a 21 year old just be smacking men?
is that a crime?
A few weeks later, they're training with the shield and Bucky shares more stories during their break
"I bought some straws, just cause my teeth were getting sensitive, with ice - shut the fuck up Sam, I know you have those weird ass straws that look like glasses - anyway, Alpine just keeps chewing them. Nothing else, just chewing."
Sam is starting to think that Bucky is going to start an Instagram account for this cat
"I also bought a plant yesterday, I went to the store for milk, came back and it had a bite mark in it."
"A bite mark?"
"Alpine BIT my plant. It's dead. She's a murderer Sam."
Honestly, Sam thought that either Bucky had never met a cat before
OR
Bucky adopted a crackhead instead of a cat
(little does he know, that's exactly what happened)
"So I wake up at 2AM yeah, there she is. Stood over me, staring at me, nibbling on a chip."
"Dude, get an exorcist or something, jesus christ"
Honestly, Sam was happy for Bucky
truly, he was
BUT if he had to hear anymore stories about this damn cat
he was going to sign up for a long mission abroad
maybe Greece
Athens
they have crimes, right?
And for a while, it was silent
Sam had invited Bucky to a family cookout and Bucky seemed to enjoy himself
he was getting along with Sam's family
playing with his nephews
honestly, he seemed happy
at the end of the day though, there was the mention of that damn cat
"Next time, I'll bring Alpine. She'd love this."
"That and she shouted at me for leaving her out."
he probably just meant that she was meowing and hissing at him
he suddenly liked this cat
i mean, how bad could it be if it was hissing at Bucky
then again
what was this sudden obsession with a cat
it was a bit worrying
it wasn't like it was a person he could talk to and laugh with
not like a friend
Bucky was on his way to become the crazy old cat lady from the 1940s
and as much as Sam wanted to see it
Steve would have killed him if he let Bucky do that to himself
a few months later, Sam decided to see what this whole weird relationship was between Bucky and his cat
see if he needed an intervention or something
of course Bucky was confused when there was a knock on the door
Alpine would have just burst in (she'd gotten very confident that he wouldn't just throw her out of the door)
it would be incredibly valid
he's even more confused when he opens it to Sam holding a packet of cat treats and a pack of beer
"Thought i'd drop in and see the little furball"
"furball- what?" it's too late
Sam is already walking around the flat going pspspsppsps
he's actually quite offended that Alpine didn't greet him at the door
what was her dad teaching her?!
"Sam... what are you doing."
"I'm calling for the devil, obviously"
"The devil? Sam-"
"Here kitty kitty"
HONESTLY
these men have zero communication skills
it's only when the devil herself walks into Bucky's flat holding a bunch of receipts that Sam looks at Bucky worriedly
who the fuck was this girl
why is she walking into his apartment
uninvited
holding receipts
"Hey Buck, I know thinks may have changed since the 40s but like... what are taxes and how do I pay them."
WHO IS THIS WOMAN?!
Bucky looks physically drained already
"Kid... have you not been paying your taxes?"
"Have you?"
"YES! IT'S ILLEGAL NOT TO!"
the girl deadass scoffs
"Ha, okay mr winter soldier."
"kid i sWEAR TO GOD"
she just mocked-
WHO THE FUCK IS THIS KID
"Who are you?"
"Oh! Falcon, Sam Wilson right? I'm Alpine."
Bucky rolls his eyes
He will find out her real name
one day
"You're human."
"..."
"..."
"I hadn't noticed that, thank you."
slowly, Sam haned her the cat treats and she just nodded
though she looked at Bucky like
wtf
is this an avengers thing?
is she being indoctrinated?
she cant fight
she would literally die
she has the fighting capability of a raw pork sausage
the most she could do was T pose at them
"Thank.... you?"
"I thought you were a cat..."
a moment of silence
".... why?"
"I mean... there was the time you knocked over the glasses"
"they were disgusting, it was a mercy killing"
"you bit his plant"
"Killed my plant"
"i didn't like the way it was looking at me, it was giving very Loki in 2012 trying to take over Stark tower vibes."
"plants... plants don't have eyes"
"And Loki was just a myth, now here we are."
Sam can't put his frustration into words and Bucky is grinning
because FINALLY
someone else gets to deal with this kid
"Buck I thought you had a cat"
"I'm allergic to cats Sam"
Of course he is
he couldn't have just gotten a dog
or a bird
maybe even a lizard
but no
he had to just adopt a random kid
a random kid.... that was trying to eat cat treats
"HEY!"
Bucky never turned so quickly to grab the packet of treats
"Alpine, no!"
honestly she's pissed
she just wanted to do her taxes
then she met Sam
but then he presented her with the chance to eat some cat treats?
she was just curious
intrusive thoughts always win with Alpine
damn
sulking, she sits herself down on the couch, watching as Bucky chucks the treats on the chair next to it
Sam stands with his arms crossed, still confused as hell
"What kind of a name is Alpine? You some sort of agent or something? Or are your parents just weird?"
"bro i don't know, ask bucky"
Sam looks scandalised
Bucky named a random girl in his building
"Bucky wtf man"
"Not like that, it sounds weird when you say it like that"
"Buck a random kid just walks into your- WHY IS SHE EATING THE CAT TREATS?!"
Bucky has never tackled anyone so fast
"ALPINE!"
Sam can't believe his eyes
he didn't know if a cat was better or worse
but, he had to admit
watching Bucky struggle, in all his super soldier strength, to get Alpine to stop eating things designed for animals?
that shit was entertaining
It was obvious that they were close
fighting like siblings
Bucky cared enough about her to make her stop eating shit not meant for humans
Bucky seemed happy
and that was good enough for Sam
besides
they could terrorise this man together and never get bored

Something for Herself
Rating: For Everyone
Summary: Sarah rarely get to have anything for herself.
Author's Note: Sorry, I'm currently not okay and I've been focusing on my health, but I got back to Tumblr and remembered the writing prompt. This isn't much but I wanted to contribute something.
Prompt: I think it looks nice.
During the five years that Sarah struggled to keep her family afloat, she sacrificed so much of herself. The last time she pampered herself, gave herself a break or just bought something for herself was before her husband passed away from cancer. She had dedicated herself to help him with his treatment and then he died. Then Sam got in trouble with the Avengers. Then a hurricane almost sank the boat. Then the Blip happened, and money became even tighter. She could no longer think about her needs and had to focus on everything else.
When Sam came back he quickly sussed things out and wasn’t pleased to see how cheaply his sister had treated herself. The minute he came into some money he got her a little gold necklace with a small plump heart at the center. “Filled with love, that’s what you are.” He said when he gave it to her.
Sarah decided to wear her new gift on Easter Sunday but none of her dresses looked good enough so she went to some thrift shops to see if anything would do. As much as she would’ve wanted a new dress, growing boys went through clothes like tissues, so she was still limited in funds. Eventually she found something acceptable; a plain, yellow cold shoulder dress that she cinched at the waist so it fit her properly.
Easter was a happy affair. Sam came down so people were excited to see how the new Cap was doing. He announced the egg hunt which sent the kids bounding into the wide-open lawn looking for brightly colored, candy filled plastics before taking tons of pictures and allowing himself to be cooed over by the ladies.
Meanwhile Sarah rolled her eyes at it all and focused instead on manning the dessert table.  Her sons were off messing around with their friends, no doubt dragging Bucky with them to join the fun. He hadn’t been back to Delacroix since the last celebration. Apparently, the government had been keeping him busy. They had barely got to speak before other things parted them, but Sarah had to admit that he looked nice in his blue jeans, white t-shirt and black jacket, although it was a bit too hot for it. He had stared at her, looking as if he had wanted to say something before her sons got a hold of him and whisked him away.
So far things have gone well. The kids were checking their eggs, the adults were sitting around on the beautiful April day eating and conversing while she and the other volunteers organized and store the leftovers.
“Hey.”
Sarah looked up and saw Bucky standing in front of the nearly empty dessert table with his hands shoved in his pockets offering a timid smile.
She smiled back. “Hey got a sweet tooth? Still have a bit of pies left.”
“Uh no…I had some earlier…”
“No, you didn’t. I’ve been here all afternoon and I never saw you.”
“You didn’t…Yeah, you’re right. Don’t know why I said that.”
“You want to try some then or you don’t have a sweet tooth?” She asked kindly.
Bucky shrugged. “I used to, before. Most things nowadays taste overly sweet.”
“Mm, I imagine sugar back then wasn’t as processed.” She mused. “How about something light then?”
“Actually, I came here because I wanted to talk to you.” He blurted out.
She straightened. “Did the boys do anything?”
“No, no! They’re great. They’ve done a lot to make me feel welcomed and no doubt it’s because they’ve had such an amazing role model like yourself.”
She grinned. “Why thank you, Bucky, that’s very sweet of you.”
“I also wanted to say that you look very beautiful in that dress today.” He added.
A flush of heat swept over her cheeks, and she laughed. “You’re kidding. This old thing?”
“Is it old? I can’t tell. I mean I don’t pay much attention to the fashion nowadays but I like this.” He swept his gaze over her openly. “I think it looks nice.”
His gaze made her stomach tremble, and she fingered the simple fabric of her skirt, then shrugged. “It’s just an old thing I found at a thrift shop. I liked the color.”
“It makes you look bright…and happy.” He cleared his throat a bit. “I was wondering if you would wear it again if I took you to dinner.”
Her heart suddenly decided to freefall to her feet. He had spoken to her in a flirty manner once before and now here he is trying again. Dare she return the favor? “I-I mean I could wear it again…if you’re asking me out to a romantic dinner.”
He caught on and started to grin. “You’re in luck. I specialize in romantic dinners.”
“I’m glad one of us does. I haven’t had any type of romance in nearly a decade.” she admitted.
“Are the men of this town dead? I noticed you since the first time and yeah your brother threatened me not to flirt with you, but,” he sighed, “I can’t help it. You’re too beautiful to pass up.”
The blush spread from her cheeks down to her toes and she lowered her head modestly. “Flattery will get you somewhere At least with me.” She smiled sweetly. “I’ll call you.”
“Yeah, I can’t wait.” Bucky agreed with a matching smile.
A date with a man cute enough to make her heart skip a bit.  She couldn’t dare pass it up, besides she deserves something for herself.
