Fic Recommendations Pt 3:

Hi👋, well I didn’t exactly keep to my weekly schedule of posting fic recommendations but here some of the writers whose works I've been loving recently. Please go and show them all the love they deserve! 🥰

Quick disclaimer: A few of these fics are 18+ so if you are a child the door is there➡️🚪  , please close it on your way out, thank you. Individual warnings on the fics themselves. 

Well, This is Awkward(Series)~ (Dave York x F!Reader) by @pedro-pascal-love - Okay so I’ve been reading this fic religiously since it started and honestly she writes the angst and the romance so well. It is a rollercoaster of emotions but it is such an amazing read. You can find her main masterlist here.

If I Were Not Myself(One shot)~ (Din Djarin x Reader) by @bewitchedbodyandsol - I actually found this fic today and I don’t know how I missed it when it was published because its soo good. I absolutely LOVE the concept and it’s written so beautifully. 

Don’t look at me that way(Flash fic)~ (Frankie Morales x f!reader) by @just-here-for-the-moment - this fic is a little snippet. But its short and sweet and honestly it really hit home for me. Frankie fluff all the way! You can find her main masterlist here. 

Cursed(Series)~ (Helmut Zemo x F!Reader) by @clints-lucky-arrow  -those of you that know my blog know that its a little bit of a Mack appreciation blog at times. But honestly this fic, its like a Beauty and the Beast AU and when I say its a masterpiece of a fic I mean it. They don’t call her the Queen of Zem-hoes for nothin’.  You can find her main masterlist here. 

Can’t forget a special mention of the new chapters of The Nomad (shook with the building angst) and Call It A Night (honestly needed a few moments of silent reflection knowing that Mack has so many more chapters planned) 

Ad Astra(Series)~ (Din Djarin x reader) by @second-stars-totheright  - Ah this fic is so wonderfully written and I can’t wait for more. It’s one of those fics that I stumble across every now and again and re read because it is just ✨chefs kiss✨. I just realised that this was @rattlethe-stars fanfic blog and now when I stumble across her fics it makes it all the sweeter because she’s lovely.  You can find her main masterlist here.

Improper(One shot)~ (King!Din x F!reader) by @1800-fight-me ~ Oh boy where do I start with this fic I was so hyped about this fic and honestly Jo did not disappoint. King Din just hits different, it’s written so well and honestly be warned you may melt whilst reading this so proceed with caution. You can find her main masterlist here. 

Honour(Sequel to Creed)~ (past Din Djarin x gn!reader) by @fuck-goes-on - Did I cry? Yes. Yes I did. It’s so heartbreakingly good that it’s worth the tears. It’s written so beautifully and I can’t get over how well the dynamic is portrayed between the reader, Din and Grogu even when the reader isn’t present. You can find their masterlist here. 

Tempered Glass(Series)~ (Din Djarin x F!Reader) by @the-scandalorian - This fic is one of my favourites I think they write Din so well especially his dynamic with grogu in the most recent chapter. I can’t wait for more, I have so many what ifs for future chapters. You can find her main masterlist here.

Connection(Series)~ (Din Djarin x F!reader) by @beskarhearts - Ah th tension in this fic is written so beautifully. I am so in love with the relationship between Din and the reader. And the way she writes Din’s character is ✨chefs kiss✨. You can find her main masterlist here. 

Nightrider(Series Oneshot)~ (Hitman!Din Djarin x F!OC) by @honestly-shite - I didn’t know i needed this AU in my life but guess what I do now. The characterisation of Din just fits him perfectly and it’s written so well. You can find their main masterlist here.  Their art is also equally as amazing and you can find that here. 

Well, that was mostly Din Djarin fics but honestly I’ve been in a Mando mood for the past couple of weeks. Be sure to give these lovely writers all the love and attention they deserve. 💕

List of Sambucky AU's based on my current obsessions/thing that I really like and have a special place in my heart:

Pride and Prejudice (2005) AU:

Yep, I've been obsessed with this movie/book my whole life and I've rewatched it recently under the new tfatws light, and boy oh boy,,,

Bucky is Mr. Darcy for, what I hope are, obvious reasons.

And our sweet angel Sam is Elizabeth.

Like, imagine the potential of this. This is perfect!

Tony as Mr. Bingley and Steve as Jane (or vice versa I still need to wrap my head around this cuz Stevie is more of a Bingley kind of simp, idk this is complicated).

The ingredients for the perfect fic are here: Enemies to lovers? Check! Mutual pining? Here it iiiss! Just add a bit of sneaky glances at social gatherings and a pinch of hand touches while dancing and it's gonna be perfect!

Your Honor, I love them, they're perfect.

Bucky is all tall, dark, and moody and he meets Sam who roasts him at a public ball because he's unsocial and instantly falls in love with him.

And then proceeds to pine for him for the rest of his unsocial life.

Rumlow as Wickham??? I mean,,, I've read some stony Pride and Prejudice au's, and Rumlow is ALWAYS Wickham so it makes sense,,, idk? OR MAYBE WALKER OMG MY MIND!

The proposal in the rain scene??? with those two? the sexual tension would be through the roof!

Rebecca as Georgiana??????? Like the scene where they're all at Pemberley and Georgiana is playing the piano? Bucky being all adorable with his sister and Sam sees them and just bolts out of the room, and then just him and Mr. Barnes being adorably in love:

"I'm really fond of walking" "Yes, I know!", SPECTACULAR!

AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE MRS. DARCY SCENE BECAUSE I WILL START A RANT AND NOBODY WILL TOLERATE ME ANYMORE!

I still haven't found any fics for this pairing, my heart aches.

That's it, that's all you need to know about this.

The proposal AU:

Okay, hear me out! I've loved this movie since I was a tiny bastard, and along the way through my magical walk in the fan fiction realm, I've realized that this movie IS THE FAN FICTION.

It has it all: Fake dating, enemies to lovers, there was only one bed, ''your family loves me and they're the only ones that have shown me love in eons'', ''oh what a surprise I'm slowly falling in love with you too bad you don't love me back''. Chef's kiss.

So it only makes sense that this is perfect for Sam and Bucky.

Bucky is the super successful and super mean boss of Sam and they hate each other.

Sam just wanted to publish his novel and now he has to deal with the devil.

Oh no, the devil is not a US citizen and now has to leave too bad,,, wait what do you mean we're engaged?

So they go to Sitka (I mean, it would make more sense if they went to Delacroix but the movie is set in Sitka so they'll go to Sitka.) and Bucky finds out that Sam basically owns the whole place? Wait I thought you were poor.

Anyways, Sam's family loooooves Bucky even tho the man is not really the life of the party...

Oh, your love story is so romantic why don't you guys get married here?

IT'S WEDDING PLANNING TIMEEEE!

Oh my god Ramone... Oh my god,,, Zemo,,, as Ramone,,, what have I done? Now it's stuck in my brain. I can't imagine that scene with Zemo,,, somebody call a priest I need some holy water.

Well you know the drill, they actually fall in love and Bucky feels really terrible to lie to this wonderful family so he leaves Sam at the altar and returns to the States.

And then Sam connects the dots...

Oh shit, I might be in love with Bucky, I need to stop that plane!

And the scene when they're back at the office???

The only thought of this makes my brain malfunction, I've been in love with that scene my whole life and now I'm imagining those two idiots. What has become of my life?

Avatar: The last Airbender / Legend of Korra AU:

Now, this is a little bit more intricate but I suck at words and my brain is scrambled eggs so bear with me.

Steve is the avatar (cuz, I mean,,, he's basically Aang, like, frozen in a chunk of ice, saves the world, sweetest boy on earth but I would smack him on the head sometimes and overall a very good person).

Tony is basically Asami Sato: so a super cool non-bender from the fire nation, he creates all of the cool stuff for Team Avatar and basically kicks ass while looking cool as fuck. Did I mention that he's cool?

Nat is a Kyoshi warrior.

Wanda and Thor are both firebenders, like,,, they both wear red and Thor shoots lightning, it's pretty obvious.

Peter, Clint, and Pietro are all airbenders.

Bucky is an earthbender, he's Steve's childhood friend, they fought briefly in the 100 year war that he ''dies'' and gets captured and brainwashed by the Dai Li and becomes the world infamous Winter Soldier.

He's also a metal bender, like I imagined when he was in Wakanda he had Shuri put some metal plates on his vibranium arm so that he can use them like Kuvira does. Or he's a lavabender or who knows maybe both idk he's very special to me and I think he would be a veeeeery strong and badass earthbender (like Toph level of greatness)

For a very brief period of time Steve, Bucky and Sam were all pro-bender athletes and competed in pro-bending tournaments as Team Avatar. They're literally children, let them have this.

Wakanda is basically Zaoufu, all of the Wakandans are super skilled metalbenders and vibranium is the only metal that nobody knows how to bend. (but you can bet your ass the Wakandans know how to).

Sam is a waterbender (look I'm not very sure about the other characters but I'm 2000% sure about Sam and Bucky okay? I feel it in my heart, Sam is water and Bucky is earth because I said so).

I mean, he's calm, patient, and good which is why is a suuuuuper good healer, like the best you'll ever find, but he's also super strong and could break your spine with medical pecision in 00.3 seconds.

He mastered bloodbending like a champion at 14, he can even bloodbend in broad daylight but refuses to use it because he knows how painful it is. (His dad tought himand Sarah but Paul isn't like Yakone with Tarrlok and Noatak, he was actually a good parent and didn't force them to learn it against their will)

While searching for Bucky with Steve he has the chance to use it against him, the Winter Soldier is going apeshit, but chooses not to because he's just that good and believes that not even someone like the Winter Soldier deserves this kind of pain, which is fun because while Bucky was a prisoner in the hands of the Dai Li they had some bloodbenders to use it on him. (man I sure love me some good old fashioned ANGST)

Okay back to the man, the myth, the legend Sam Wilson:

He's the son of the chief of the Southern water tribe and he was supposed to become chief after Paul but he left to help Steve before his dad died so now OUR BELOVED SARAH IS CHIEF, LIKE THE BADASS-ANGEL SHE IS. Honestly, she deserves it, like it's a lot of responsibility but she's more than up to the task than anybody else, even a little bit more than Sam.

Chief of a whole tribe, super skilled bender and a single mom of two, the whole South Pole loves her and you can bet that there isn't a single kid that goes to bed on an empy stomach. Not on chief Wilson's watch.

Like really the Wilsons are the most powerful, skilled and badass benders in the whole South (and maybe even in the North cuz I don't like the Northern water tribe), also babies Aj and Cass are super good benders and they almost beat Bucky while sparring (he lets them almost beat him because they're kids and he's not gonna let two kids loose but he has to admit that they've been raised by a force of nature, and Sam, so it's only natural that they're so strong)

Steve is both Captain America (or Captain Republic City I swear I have no clue how the geography works in this au) and the Avatar so he decides to give Cap's mantle to Sam, this of course sends Sam into a mental breakdown.

And unfortunately Walker becomes Cap instead of Sam, you know the drill,,,

All of the Avengers and the Avatar team are FURIOUS and try in every way to give the shield and the title back to Sam.

So Bucky decides to take the matter in his metal hand, steals the shield and ends up being and enemy of the crown and he's wanted in the whole Earth Kingdom.

He can't stay with Steve and the team anymore or they'll all be in danger, he can't go back to Zaoufu/Wakanda because is still Earth Kingdom territory so Sam gets him to the South.

And mind you, this is for the sole purpose of the development of Sambucky, so Bucky and Sam have to split from team Avatar to go to the Southern water tribe and they basically spend a three months honeymoon where they finally realize their feelings towards each other.

We need at least one (1) "Homoerotic sparring scene" where one ends up on top of the other, we NEED it.

While in the South Bucky learns that Sam was supposed to be chief and just teases him reletlessly but he realizes that the whole tribe loves him and Sarah and considers both of them as their leaders. Like they're walking down the street and someone greets Sam with a "Morning chief!"

And Bucky slowly falls in love with him more and more and overall just realizes every day how much of an amazing man Sam is. And starts calling him Cap and Chief as pet names.

Super cute ''cool gay uncles moment'' is when they get Aj and Cass penguin sledding they call Bucky ''Uncle''. Bucky dies on the spot and then he and Sam just proceed to look at each other with heart eyes for the rest of the evening.

Fluff and feelings ensue, they both come to the realization that they love eachother but being the total dumbasses that they are they just keep it to themselves cuz "Oh, I bet he doesn't like me in that way, he just sees us as friends", ya know,,, that kind of bullshit.

And then they kick Walker's ass because he deserves it.

The final battle against Walker is basically the last Agni Kai Zuko+Katara VS Azula, so we have Sam and Bucky against DIYshield!Walker but the coward woke up that morning and chose violence so he decides to shoot a lightning bolt at Sam. Bucky (the great self sacrificing idiot that he is) shields Sam and gets the bolt for himself.

(YOU IDIOT! YOU HAVE A METAL ARM WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? YOU CAN'T REDERECT LIGHTNING.)

So Sam has his Badass Katara moment™ and defeats Walker, then proceeds to fall at Bucky's side and he just spills all of his feelings cuz he thinks that Bucky is dying. (You know,,, like the moment we were supposed to have with Zuko and Katara in the finale, don't come at me I'm a firm Zutara shipper and I'm still bitter that they weren't endgame)

They work it out in the end, they smooch and they're happy. Sam is finally officially Cap. They probably have a beautifull wedding in the snowy landscape of the South Pole and all ends well.

I still need to sand some edges off and stuff but this has been in my mind for sooooo long I needed to share it with someone, there are some HUGE plot holes like the timeline (time is a very difficult concept for me lol) or the geography in this au like is there America or the Avatar geographic asset? Idk it's all very confusing but I'll get there. Remember? Scrambled eggs brain...

Buzzfeed Unsolved AU:

Pretty self explainatory.

Bucky is Shane and Sam is Ryan.

Sam belives in ghosts and Bucky is just a little shit about it.

This one is basically Bucky watching Sam's powerpoints about the big three.

You know whenever Ryan asks "Are ghosts real?" Shane would look in camera like he's in the office and shake is head?

Bucky does the same thing when Sam says "The big three".

The whole Internet belives that Bucky is either a demon or he's a time traveller that killed JFK beacuse he looks like he knows too much about this stuff.

So whenever they're covering a True Crime case Sam would just ask Bucky if he knows something about it.

"What do you mean you're not the Zodiac Killer?"

"Okay, I can't belive you're not D.B. Cooper." "Sorry Sam, I'm pretty sure that's Loki."

And then they go on their dates investigate at hauted locations and Sam is very scared but luckly his boyfriend ghost hunter best friends is here to taunt demons and protect him.

And now,,, the most recent one, I basically birthed this au like two hours ago and I'm writing all this instead of finishing my finals project but who cares. (two hours? Make it five! You stupid idiot, you've been procrastinating on your homework for five hours while you were writing this stuff. You're crazy, you're never going to graduate)

So, for all non-european folks I bet you have little to no clue of who Måneskin are, or maybe you recently found it out, (which is great, I want you to know that I love you, I need your hand in marriage now!) still I'm gonna need you to stop reading this right now and go listen to this two particular songs by Måneskin:

"I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE" and "FOR YOUR LOVE". (idk why the titels are in all caps you'll have to ask them)

Go now!

Okay now that you're back I just want to say that these are THE horniest songs by Måneskin and I just love them,

Anyways, this brings us to the last of my recent au's which is:

You guessed it:

Rock band AU:

This one is as easy as it gets:

Bucky is the singer in a band, Natasha plays the bass (this is all based on the fact that Bucky and Nat have big Damiano and Victoria vibes, not everyone might see this but let me dream,) Clint at the drums and idk Stevie at the guitar?

Anyway, they're playing at a bar and Sam walks is and our baby Bucky who's a big slut with a heart of gold just falls head over heels for him.

So he just starts singing "for you love" first and then "I wanna be your slave" (they have to follow this precise order beacuse literally the first sentence in "FOR YOUR LOVE" is "I wanna be the first man you look at tonight" so it makes sense) all while not breaking eye contact with Sam NOT. EVEN ONCE. Bucky needs to get his point very clear to Sammy.

And the point is that he's a slut, that's it.

I mean, those songs are EXTREMELY EXPLICIT, so this will call for some very explicit fic content but if I only remotley think about seggs stuff I have an allergic rection so this will stay closed and safely tucked away in the itty bitty slutty corner in my brain.

Really those songs are just- I don't have the words to explain them,,,

I will probably add more once my brain starts functioning properly again.

Kitchen Royalty - B.B (14/15)

Summary: Falling in love wasn’t on the menu, but neither was finding prince charming looking like a trash raccoon and living in your industrial freezer. (Pastry AU! Reader/Bucky Barnes)

Prompt: Sleeping Beauty

Masterlist

A/N: This is for @ciarawritesmarvel​ ‘s 1k challenge. Drabble requests are open! Thinking about a epilogue not sure yet, but really just one chapter left. 

Please enjoy and feedback is always appreciated.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 | Part 10 | Part 11 | Part 12 | Part 13

“I missed you so much,” Winifred Barnes declares in the middle of your kitchen area with tears in her eyes, as Bucky’s younger sisters come in and the Barnes clan fill your little apartment with love, as you can’t help watch with a little bit of envy.

After your kiss, everyone received an explanation of what happened after Bucky disappeared to the point of where Pietro had found him in the freezer and how you proceeded to hire him and how you got to this point. His sisters had been cooing the entire time and while a bigger discussion was needed for what had happened since the last you had seen all of them, that would happen to happen another time. For now, you for to learn about a Bucky who had been lost for a very long time -- someone who had nightmares and found no purpose in what he was doing and had the weight of a million emotions on his shoulders until he ran away time after time, even though he knew it caused an incredible sadness to the people that loved him the most.

However, there seem to be a new resolved in his words as he talked to his family, that he had found something during his time with you in your little bakery shop -- that he would try his best, but for now he wanted to see the contest through to the end. He promised to call them everyday after work and you would visit when you had the time once more. It eased their fears and worries a little more because all these women could see it so clearly -- you had shown it in how close you clung to each other, in the little giggles and shared stories, in how you couldn’t keep your eyes off each other.

You and James Buchanan Barnes were utterly in love.

Somehow, Sleeping Beauty and Prince Bucket had found each other once more and they couldn’t be happier, knowing that you guys would fight for one another in anyway -- Bucky was at your side for this family drama and you would be there to support him through his VA treatment when he started it once more.

“Take care of each other, darling,” Winnie states with a loving smile as she hugs you, tight as you smell honey and thyme on her like you used whenever you were at her restaurant. The girls follow one by one with little remarks that “we have to go out and talk” as they give their older brother a teasing smile before exiting into the middle of the night -- Bucky standing outside and escorting them as they go.

You stand there, near the industrial freezer where it all began for you and him, trying your hardest not to cry right then and there. Bucky sees you rubbing the corners of your eyes when he finally comes back in.

“Hey, hey are you alright? Bucky rushes to your side, as you let out a small laugh.

“You still have a wonderful family, Bucky,” you can’t help but let out with a tinge of bitterness, as his eyes soften at the declaration because while you, Sal, and Richie are healing and leaning on each other it would never make up for the damage done, or ever be as tight as what he had with his own family.

“And they’re there for you,” Bucky starts off, as he pulls you in for a side hug,”Just like Sal and Richie. Maria and little Teresa, and hell people you might even not know yet. They’re all there for you, just like I am too, love.”

You guys don’t end up really sleeping at all that night, as you snuggle together in blankets and the emotional turmoil just leads to the two of you sharing stories about anything you can think of -- trying to press last years together in a matter of hours, though some wounds are still too dark and scary to share with the other. Bucky --your sweet prince Bucket-- brings you in closer, as you whisper if you could look at the scars connecting his arm.

Blue eyes widen in fear and you almost take back your words, as he nods and takes off his long sleeve. Battle scars are what you meet with most of all, littered all over his body, as you let out a sad sigh and touch the cold metal, looking at him softly while silently asking if you could get a bit closer.

“James,” his eyes widen at the sound of his first name at the end of your tongue, as blue eyes look at you in the dark, “Answer me honestly.”

“Yes?”

“Where you going to run away once the contest ended?”  

It hadn’t taken you long to put two and two together from all of the stories he had told you. Bucky loves people and wants to help all those that he can, you were part of the list but you wanted him to know what he wasn’t alone -- he had family, friends, and you had each other now.

“I--I didn’t think…” he starts off with a stutter, as he watches you lean in and kiss the scar tissues between his shoulder and the metal meet,  “Yeah, I was. You don’t deserve me the way I am now. You deserve the best, cupcake.”

“You’re already the best there is,” you admit, while circling your arms around his waist, “Always have been, Bucket.”

“Your sweet words are killing me,” he laughs, a little strangled with emotion for the moment as he grabs your face and proceeds pepper kisses all over it, as you giggle at the feel of his scruff on your face.

“Well, it’s true,” you state as you feel him let out a deep sigh, like the weight of the world has been lifted from his shoulders, “I’ve said it before. I got you and you got me. We’re a team.”

“I gotcha,” he places you on his left side, metal arm around your waist as you sink back into the bed and try to finally get some shut eye after a crazy night.

Together. Now, that had a good ring to it,  were Bucky’s last thought as everything finally seemed to be falling into place for him.

Two more days of testing and perfecting your little recipe, as the day finally arrives. The participants are supposed to meet in the central headquarters in Manhattan, a closed meeting between the chef and their choice of assistant. You would make your make your recipe in front of board members and they would all get a taste and decide amongst themselves then and there. It had happened every once and awhile, in odd intervals since you had left your home. People won, became famous, before they were paid off by Rumlow and their recipes became part of the assortment of Marjorie’s line of food.

However, you weren’t here --with Bucky at your side, as you had decided with your brothers would be the best choice-- standing in an elevator to set foot into a place you hadn’t seen since you were sixteen for some simple prize. You would stare at your fears in the face and show Rumlow and your mother that you weren’t afraid anymore. And maybe, Richie would be right in what he had said before you left.

Everything will be all right.

The elevator stops on the fifteen floor, a place where all the biggest kitchens and testing was done for new products --- you spent hours there at times when you were younger. Today, though it was filled with 4 other contestants and their chosen assistants standing behind metal cooking tables and their own variety of ingredients and chosen instruments when it came to cooking. You took out your own state of the art Stark marked utensil, before going around to see that you had everything you needed, while trying to make sure that you stayed calmed at the same time.       

Nobody seem to want to talk to you, knowing fully well who you were, until a redhead from the the other side came to your table. She was pretty in her black chef uniform and while she didn’t seem to smile, there was something bright in her green eyes. She looks at Bucky once before asking for your name.

“Yeah, that’s me alright,” you let out in a nervous chuckle, as she gives you a brief smile, while holding out her hand.

“Natasha from Red Cake Sweets in Brooklyn,” your eyes widen at her introduction remembering how well her little shop used red velvet and devil’s food in the most ingenious ways to show off their sweets, “I used to love your dad’s egg tarts, used to eat them when I had enough allowance saved up.”

“I love your red velvet choco cupcakes,” you manage to squeak out, as she smiles a bit, as Bucky shakes his head as he watches the two of you talk for a moment before setting everything up.

You end up talking for awhile before it is the start time and Nat --as she insist on you calling her-- goes back to her own table with a man that has dark curly hair and glasses. Bucky smiles and grabs your hand as you wait, that’s when it happens -- the doors open and in come the men dressed in fine suits. You know some of them -- Pierce and Zemo stand out the most, but the man in front of the crowd grabs your attention the most. The smile he sends you if the stuff of nightmares, as Bucky tightens his grip to keep you from shaking.

“Welcome to the--” that’s all you can stand from his voice, as you close your eyes for just one moment.

You grip Bucky’s hand back as tightly as you can before letting a deep breathe out. You look at Bucky, Rumlow forgotten into the background as you give your partner the brightest smile you can.

“Looks like I’m finally keeping my promise, Bucket,” you let out a shaky laugh as the bell rings for the start and while you don’t look up you know that there are several eyes on you.

“Show them what you’re made of, cupcake,” he nods, as you begin to set to work.

Nobody in that room knew what was going on a few floors up and in Rumlow’s home as well -- a full scale investigation and search had been launch.

My Day Off (Part 2) {Cop!Bucky AU}

A/N: Well it’s been over a year so that’s embarrassing, but here is the long awaited part 2! Bucky is as cute as ever and I refuse to live in a world that he is not living his best life. 

**DISCLAIMER: I own no part of the Marvel universe or any of its lovable characters.**

I was still stunned by the time I got home. I had a date tonight. I had a date tonight with a man that made my blood boil. And he made my blood boil both in a way that made me want to slug him in the jaw and a way that made me want to straddle him – dangerous combination.

He’d told me his name and put his number in my phone before calling himself. After some playful quip from him about wrangling modern technology, I was able to supply my name in return. Still, I couldn’t believe I was going to get dinner with him tonight.

“It’s too soon,” I said to myself as I put my laundry away. “Then again, Colin has been dating two girls for years so maybe I need to catch up,” and maybe Detective James Barnes was the sprint to the finish line I needed. “At the very least, I can tell him off again. That felt really good,” I laughed as I headed into the kitchen for lunch. “I could probably come up with something about that nickname of his.”

Bucky.

What kind of goofy name is that after all? It probably had followed him through childhood. Detective Bucky. I got lost in my own thoughts for a few minutes, munching down on my sandwich when my phone rang. It was no surprise my best friend opted to call me in response to the text I’d sent her an hour before.

“Hey, Nat.”

“You have a date?!”

“Yeah, I mean, he kind of tricked me into it.”

“He must have really distracted you to trick you into anything,” she giggled across the line. “How’d you meet him?”

I relayed this morning’s events to her beginning with Colin leaving his key to Bucky giving me his number. She cackled at all the right moments, and supplied the occasional “Get it, girl!” when I delivered a particularly sharp jab to the man I was to have dinner with. When I finally finished, she was as delighted as can be.

“Y/N!” she squealed. “He sounds like just the guy you need to get Colin out of your system! Have dinner at the restaurant, have dessert at his place, and check ‘rebound’ off the list.”

“Natasha, I’m not just going to sleep with him,” I could already hear her laughter at embarrassing me so easily.

“Why not? Not cute enough?” she teased.“Are you kidding? He’s got to be the most attractive man I’ve seen in my entire life.”

“Well, then you better think about it because he’s probably expecting a whole lot more of that fire from you tonight.”

I felt my cheeks go red at the thought. Colin was the only man I’d ever been with. My stomach turned, and my mind just kept screaming, it’s only been three weeks! “Maybe I” –

“Y/N, stop. I’m kidding. If you say one word about cancelling on this guy, so help me…”

“It’s just so soon…”

“Shut up. I’m coming over.” And the line went dead.

I knew by now there was no point to fighting Natasha Romanoff when she was on a mission. That being said, she was still fun to antagonize; so when I unlocked the door for her, I left the chain on. 

“Dammit, Y/N!” she yelled through the small space in the cracked door. “I will chew through this chain if you make me!”

I laughed as I rose from the sofa. “You took longer than I thought you would,” I said, opening the door for her. “And now I see why.”

“I figured before you made the excuse of not having anything to wear, I would bring plenty of my own options – you are not getting out of this date.”

“I mean, he hasn’t even told me what time we’re going so maybe it won’t even happen,” I told her as I collapsed back onto the couch. As if on cue, my phone buzzed in the kitchen. Natasha raced to grab my phone off the counter and squealed when she read the message. 

“It’s from him!”

“Geez, he probably put a bug in my laundry. Maybe he knows I killed that guy last year,” I said sarcastically. She thrust the phone in my hand with a roll of her eyes. 

*Can’t wait for a rematch. Pick you up at 8?* - Bucky 

I pursed my lips as I considered my response. *That’s okay, I’ll just meet you. Where to?*

“You’re seriously not going to let him pick you up?” Natasha scoffed.

“Just because he’s a cop doesn’t mean he’s not a creep,” I countered.

“But you have to let him be the man,” she said, dramatically falling onto the couch next to me. 

“I don’t have to do anything,” I replied as the next text came through.

*Safety first, I can respect that ;) You know the 40s diner on Main?* - Bucky

*Yeah. See you at 8?*

*Sounds perfect. I’ll try to leave my douchey-ness at home.*

I didn’t realize Natasha was reading over my shoulder until she said “Tell him to bring his handcuffs though.”

“Natasha!” I could feel my cheeks turn red again.“I’m kidding! Come on, try these on.”

Six hours, five outfits, and three conversations where Natasha talked me out of cancelling later, I was finally putting the finishing touches on my makeup. My hair flowing down my back, red lipstick on, and a strapless black dress paired with a denim cropped vest – I brought my A-game.

“You have to admit,” my best friend said from behind me. “it has to feel pretty good to be in something other than scrubs or sweats.”

I grinned, “It really does. And apparently, the stress helped me drop a dress size because I did not fit into this a month ago. At least Colin was good for something.”

“Okay stop. First of all, that creep is good for nothing, and you will not mention his name for the rest of the night. Second of all, you better stuff your face tonight,” I gave her a look through the mirror. “I mean it! None of that trying to be a dainty little flower so the cop likes you. It’s a free meal, and you need to eat. I am not just going to listen to you talk about your unhealthy weight loss.”

“You really are a personal trainer, aren’t you?” I joked.

“Both in physical and emotional health,” she sighed, falling gracefully onto my bed.

“Well, I think I’m ready,” I turned around for inspection.Natasha squealed again, “Y/N, you look seriously drop dead gorgeous.”

I had to hold onto Natasha’s comments as I made the walk to the Vibranium Skillet. It was a 40s diner for goodness sake, I had to be overdressed. I had five more blocks to talk myself out of this date, and I seemed to be on the right track until I passed by Zemo’s Bakery. They were having a special on cherry pie. I stopped and gave myself a long once-over in the window’s reflection as I stewed on the pie sitting behind the glass. “Even if I am overdressed, I’m going to be the best-looking woman there,” I said aloud.

“I’ve been to that diner. You’re not overdressed, and you will be the best-looking woman to ever step into that dive,” a voice said to my left. I turned, and there was Bucky, smirk and all. It was impossible to avoid the deep blush that burned my cheeks.

“You have a habit of turning up when I don’t want you there,” I told him, subtly looking him over. His hair was combed and begging to have my hands tangled in it. He wore a light blue button down, dark washed denim jeans, and the comfiest-looking army green bomber jacket I’d ever seen. He looked casual, but he looked so, so good. I hardly even noticed that he wore only one glove.

“I know I’m five blocks early, but someone was suspiciously lurking too close to that pie display. As a detective, it’s important I prevent all crime possible – including ruining your dinner.”

I grinned. “Good, I don’t think I’m in the mood for pie anyway.”

His face brightened into a genuine smile as he offered me his arm. I gladly took it, and we strode off down the street together for five blocks. 

“Bucky!” I heard a voice shout happily the moment we entered the restaurant. “Find a seat, pal.”

When I looked over the diner, I realized it had been transformed. Each booth was no longer for sitting, instead flowers of all different colors decorated the tabletops and candles lined each bench. All the tables had been cleared out but one, and it had been dressed up with a black cloth, white lace doily, and a single red rose placed in a tall vase. It was beautiful and… unexpected. Over the top may even fit better than that.

“This is som – sweet. It’s sweet.” I glanced at the detective. He was red as a tomato with his eyes shut tight and a hard grimace glued to his face. “Buck” –

“You punk! I didn’t tell you to shut the place down. I said I was coming for dinner.”

A man’s head poked out from behind the kitchen door. “You said you were bringing a lady. The last time you took a lady to dinner – well I might just have been under the ice.”

“I said I had a date – not that I was bringing the president to your diner.”

“I wouldn’t serve the president any of my refined cooking and we both know it,” the tall blond man said with a bark of laughter. “But hello, ma’am.” He turned his attention to me, stepping out the door from the kitchen fully. “Name’s Steve Rogers. Sorry this jerk didn’t think to introduce me.”

I shook his hand with a smirk. “Y/N Y/L/N. A pleasure. I’ve been here before – you’re a great chef.”

Steve’s cheeks turned pink at the compliment. “Well, thank you. You’re very kind. Sure you oughtta be out with this guy?”

“Why don’t you just get your hide back behind that door, Chef Rogers?” Bucky said, grabbing Steve by the shoulders and pulling him toward the kitchen. “Save me a little embarrassment, would ya?”

Steve winked at me over his shoulder as Detective Barnes shoved him back into the kitchen. Bucky ran his hands through his hair in an effort to compose himself, but all it really did was muss his hair in a way that was not altogether unpleasant. When he turned around, I could still see a hint of redness touching his cheeks. “Shall we?” he asked, gesturing to the set table. I smiled and took a seat. His eyes never left mine as he took his seat across from me, sparkling as they had at the laundromat this morning. I had to look down at the table to avoid the intensity of his gaze. I could get lost in those deep blue eyes if I wasn’t careful, and a part of me thought he knew it. I noticed then, there were no menus meaning Steve had planned a special meal for us.

“So you know the owner,” I smirked across the table at Bucky before taking a sip of my water.

“That guy? Yeah, I arrested him awhile back. Tried to off his step mom for getting him written out of his dad’s will.”

I nearly spit my drink out. Barely choking it down, I sputtered, “What?”

“Kidding – I’m kidding,” he told me before bursting into a fit of laughter. “Oh, that was worth every second of your reaction. I’m so sorry, I had to.”

My eyes narrowed playfully. “That’s a good defense mechanism.”

“What do you mean?”

“Embarrassing me, hoping I’ll forget how Steve made it obvious taking a woman out for dinner is a big deal for you.”

“Can you blame a guy for trying to even the playing field?” He grinned with a shrug. “I’ve known Steve since we were kids so he’s got a lot of dirt on me you could use against me later.”

My heart fluttered at the mention of later, and I wasn’t even sure why. Had Bucky not pissed me off beyond belief just hours earlier? I could practically hear Natasha’s voice in my head, “there’s a fine line between love and hate, Y/N… and right now it’s the table between you two so hop on over and tear his clothes off.” Amazing how my best friend could make me turn red even when she was a figment of my imagination.

“Did I lose you?” Bucky asked with a smile, breaking me free of my thoughts.

“You’re so different than you were this morning,” I told him. He appeared taken aback for a second before his cheeks turned pink and he opened his mouth to speak. Just as he did, Steve burst out of the kitchen with a stacked tray.

“Some Irish Potato Cakes for the table and some wine,” he said, gracefully placing the items before us. “The sauce is a garlic aioli – not traditional from the 40s, but I like to spice up the wartime recipes when I come up with something good.”

“Thank you, they look delicious.” I smiled up at him.

“Hope she isn’t allergic to anything,” Bucky murmured, flicking his friend in the arm.

“If she is, I’ll make something else. Can’t let someone crazy enough to spend the evening with you get away, Buck.”

“I’m not – allergic to anything, I mean.” Steve smiled back at me happily. As he made his way back to the kitchen, he kicked Bucky’s chair, knocking the brown-haired detective off balance for a moment. Bucky caught himself, and looked up to see me giggling at the encounter.

“We should not have come here,” he said, shaking his head.

“No, I’m having fun.” I disagreed.

He smiled then. “Well, good. After the week you’ve had, you deserve a good night.”

“You have no idea how right you are,” I replied. “I’m happy to be the one to give it to you,” his eyes sparked with something intoxicating when he smiled at me then. 

“So different,” I said again, blinking to break eye contact. “You’re so charming now. Why were you such a jerk earlier?”

“Honestly? I blew a case this week, and I took my frustration out on you. I’m really sorry, by the way.”

“I might have taken out some frustration of my own. Do you want to talk about it?” He raised his eyebrows questioningly. “Nothing confidential, obviously. Just if you wanted to vent.”

He grimaced slightly. “No, that’s okay. Lieutenant Stark and I just don’t always see eye to eye. I overstepped, but it wasn’t the kind of thing I could wait to do by the book. I tried to tell him that, but all he cared about was protocol. Never mind that I was trying to help someone I’m sure is being framed for something they didn’t do.”

“You think he’ll write you up?”

His eyebrows rose again before he grinned warmly and huffed a laugh. “Honestly? No. We’re both hot heads and say things we don’t always mean, but… Stark’s a good man and a good Lieu. I was wrong, and maybe that’s why this time was so infuriating. Stark always puts the team first though. If there’s any fallout, he’ll go to bat for me even when I don’t deserve it.”

“It’s not easy to admit making a mistake.”

“Yeah, and Stark gets that too. No mushy, feelings stuff. I’ll walk in Monday and he’ll follow up with a stab at my masculinity and a wink, and everything will continue on like our shouting match today never happened.”

“Sounds like you deserve a good night too,” I smiled gently.

“I think I’m off to a pretty solid start,” he responded, placing a hand over mine. I had to look away to start on one of my potatoes. I wasn’t even sure why, but something as simple as any physical contact with him was disorienting. “Oh come on, are you shy when you’re not pissed off?” I didn’t even mean to smile, but I did. “Because I can piss you off if it’ll get you to look at me.” 

Without waiting for any type of reaction, he grabbed my wrist and directed my loaded fork straight into his mouth. “Hey!” my eyes went wide as I stared at him.

“No, see it’s cute! We’re feeding each other,” he exclaimed before adding, “Plus, now you can’t take your eyes off me.”

And he was right, I really couldn’t.

After dinner, Bucky suggested we go for ice cream, and since Nat instructed me to stuff my face, I agreed. He said he knew a place a couple blocks away, and we said goodbye to Steve. As we walked down the street, Bucky took my left hand in his right again, but instead of looking away, he got my full attention.

“I’m going to hold onto this for awhile, if that’s okay?” he said casually.

“Sure,” I smirked, “you can borrow it, but it’s gaining interest.”

“That makes two of us.”

So smooth. “I think I liked you better at the beginning of the night.”

He stopped walking to face me – brows raised, eyes wide, mouth slightly agape. “What? I thought this was going well. If you want to go, I’ll take you home.”

I grinned at him with a small laugh before taking his hands again. I felt him stiffen, and I gave his hands a gentle squeeze. “I just meant you were cute when Steve was embarrassing you. Kind of like how you’re cute right now.”

His eyes fell shut and he bit his bottom lip in a grin. “So you don’t want to go home?”

“Not yet,” I smiled back at him. “I think this is going well.”

He nodded with that same grin, though it was a little cockier than before, and continued down the street with my hand in his.

Epilogue

Somewhere in the heart of Rome is a little cake shop. It's owned by a lovely lady who was very welcoming to all of those who came through her door. Camilla was the one who reached out to you when you needed work. She gave you the job the day she met you.

For the most part you kept your head down and cracked on with the job, but Camilla wouldn't have that for long.

"I see passion in you. Express it!"

So, you did.

People began to flood to the little cake shop and business took off. Camilla had it all down to you being here. She called you her lucky charm.

This would do for you. You would be happy with this until the time came to go back.

You would go back.

He promised to wait for you. He reminded you of that when you called him.

At first you would call him weekly, but then it became daily. He wanted to hear about everything you were doing. He wanted to know if Italy was treating you well.

Zemo always ended the call with 'I miss you,' and you would say it back. You did. You missed him, but being here was good for you.

You were a better person.

Five years you had been out here. Five years to redeem yourself. Five years of waiting. You have had enough of the waiting, and you're sure he has too.

You: I'm coming home tomorrow.

Helmut: About time!

Camilla throws the biggest party for you, all your new friends were invited. It was the best send off you could ask for.

As you walk through the arrivals gates, your heart races a mile a minute. Just up ahead he would be waiting for you. This would be the first time in five years you have seen each other.

Zemo had offered to come and visit you, but you denied him. You wanted to be the best person you could be for him, and you hadn't been ready until now.

Helmut waits. His palms are sweaty, his heart is racing, and he's lost count of how many times he's licked his lips in a nervous manner.

In the last five years Zemo's name has grown to what it had been back in Sokovia. He was basically a household name at this point. People from all over were visiting his restaurant. Celebrities would reserve tables, he had hired out the restaurant for wedding parties. His restaurant was famous.

It was just missing you.

Though his desserts were good, they paled in comparison to yours. He needed his dessert chef back. He needed you.

His eyes find yours among the crowd.

You smile.

He smiles.

Luggage forgotten, you run straight at him. Helmut opens his arms for you and you collide heavily into him. He holds you tightly, letting his happy tears fall as he buries his nose in the crook of your neck. He presses kisses to the skin there.

You're here. He has you in his arms. It's been too long.

"I missed you so much," he whispers.

"I missed you too."

The pair of you stay like that for ages before you decide it's time to leave. Helmut grabs your luggage and guides you back to his car.

He drives you back to his place.

"How is my favourite Michelin star chef doing?" You ask, smiling at him.

"I'm much better now you are here."

You can only smile. You were here to stay. You would prove to him that you were worthy of him.

"Italy was lovely, but you weren't there and that was actually the hardest part."

He chuckles.

He reaches over and takes your hand in his.

"We are together now. No more fighting. No more set ups. No more hate," he looks at you with the softest gaze.

"I'm ready to start over with you," you tell him.

"Me too, my love."

You have both turned over a new leaf.

Helmut gives you your old job back. He closes the restaurant that night to surprise you with a party. Everyone is there. They welcome you back with big smiles and lots of hugs.

Peggy and Steve are there too.

Natasha and Thor hug you for quite a long time before Zemo asks if he can have you back.

He kisses you in front of everyone.

Things have really changed for the better and you knew you were going to be so much happier now.

As did Helmut who made love to you that night, but without the goodbyes this time.

Your ask was amazing. It really inspired me for the whole tri-wizard tournament idea. No matter what, Hogwarts AU´S are legendary. All fandoms need at least 2.

I have been having so much fun debating wish house to put each character :) But I knew I had to put Zemo in that fluffy red coat even if my life depended on it. My brain really did a 10/10 on that one.

Part 1

You had always wanted to travel through Europe. You wanted to see those streets at least once in your life. Meet the people, attention the languages, taste the food, and maybe even do a little shopping in certain cities.

Your friend, Wanda Maximoff, came from a rather unknown country called Sokovia. When you had told her about your trip, she had brought it up. She hadn't been back home since she left, but she remembered it well. She suggested some places to go if you ever stopped by. You made a mental note to drop by her home country for her sake.

Sokovia was a declining country. It had its fair share of issues and problems, but it was still out there waiting to be discovered. The least you could do was visit on your travels.

You had passed through Spain and France, spent a few extra days in Gemany, stopping by the Netherlands to see Amsterdam. You have lost count of the photos you had taken in Austria, and it was as your stay in Poland was coming to an end when you remembered about Sokovia. The other countries you had planned to pass through would have to wait. You spent your last night Poland planning the flyover to Sokovia, luckily finding a flight that will take you to the capital.

In your pocket you kept the list of places Wanda and suggested, her hoping most of them were still there. You would of course take pictures for her.

The plane landed and you exited the airport. You wanted to see the city. A cab station near by grabbed your attention, so you hurried over. You asked the driver of the nearest cab to drop you off in the city centre. He did.

Looking around Novi Grad, you were taken in. The city was old. People were going about their business, but some even turned to smile at you as you walked along. You took in the area, admiring the buildings and the people. You were impressed and in awe with the city.

You keep an eye out for somewhere to stay, checking Wanda's list as you go incase you spot one of the places on it.

You're not sure how long you have been strolling the streets when something catches your eye. It's not a very big building, but it stands out. A restaurant. A Spanish restaurant. You smile. Spain was one of your first stops when you got to Europe, the food was one of your favourite parts.

You realise just how hungry you are. You hadn't eaten anything since before your flight. The door is open and it looks like a good place to stop.

You look up at the sign as you get closer to it. Gold letters on a purple background. There was something elegant about it.

Escorpión Morado

You look at your list quickly. It's on there. Purple Scorpion. Wanda knew about this place. You put away the list, grab your camera, and stand far enough away to get a shot of the exterior. You smile at the outcome.

Outside there were a few tables. Four, to be exact. They had a nice view of the courtyard just in front of the restaurant. The entrance was two narrow double doors, opened wide to let air into the shop, and allowing easy access for the customers to come and go. The shop being on the corner of the street allowed a view on either side theiugh the large windows. On each window was the name of the restaurant in faint lettering. You could see inside, but decided you could admire it better by going in.

Entering the restaurant, you were welcomed with a certain warmth. It wasn't too busy, but there was still several people here, enjoying themselves. You took a picture of the inside.

The inside was nice and open, plenty of room to move around. A bar was situated at the far end, a couple of people sitting at it. You walked over the polished floor and made your way to the back. You pick a stool and sit down, looking up at the menu. There were plenty of options.

"What can I get for you?" A voice asks, coming over to you. You turn your head to see who was speaking, your voice suddenly doesn't want to work.

The man comes to stop in front of you. Brown hair swept to the side, dark brown eyes, sparkling with amusement, a smile tugging at his lips. His shirt sleeves were pushed back up to his elbows, and apron was around his waist. He had very clearly just been in the kitchen.

He tilts his head to the side slightly. You had yet to answer him.

"Are you alright?" He asks. "English?"

Oh, he thought you didn't understand.

"Um, yes. I speak English. I'm sorry, I'm fine," you feel embarrassed, shuffling on the stool slightly.

"That's alright. What can I get for you?" He asks, offering a friendly smile.

You glance up at the menu again. "What do you reccomend?"

As you glance back, you see his smile widen. You had eaten tapas while you were in Spain, but you found yourself wanting to hear him speak again. There was something about his accent that was satisfying.

"Since I haven't see you around here before, I'll make a special for you. How does that sound?"

"That sounds lovely, thank you."

He smiles and leaves you to go and make it himself. You look around the restaurant again while you wait.

On the wall just off to the side, there was a plaque. You get up and walk over to it, wanting to read what was on it. There was a photo above the plaque that caught your attention first. An older gentleman, dressed smartly and looking proud. You read the plaque to find out who he is.

Or was.

Heinrich Zemo

Founder of Escorpión Morado.

He died a few years ago, leaving the restaurant to his son, Helmut Zemo. There was no photo of his son, but you assumed he was here somewhere.

Actually, looking at the photo, you could awe some semblance with the man who had served you. Was he the owner?

You look at the plaque once more before going back sit down. The atmosphere in here was nice. You could see yourself coming here every day just to pass time. It certainly seemed like a favourite spot for these people.

You smiled as you glanced over the few people gathered here. A couple by the window, just looking out at people passing by. A man sitting at the bar talking to one of the staff members, they seemed to be enjoying themselves. There were a couple of families taking up tables here and there.

It was very relaxing here.

You turn back around when the man returns, he puts the dish down in front of you and smiles. It looks delicious, just like the one you had back in Spain.

He stands there as you take your first bite.

You stop and look at him as soon as the food touches your tongue. It's amazing. You smile as you eat it, nodding at him, impressed.

"This is the best tapas I've ever eaten."

He looks really pleased with himself.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, especially since I was Spain not that long ago." You go for another bite.

"A traveller?"

"Yeah. I always wanted to see Europe, so I've been saving like crazy and here I am."

He leans against the counter, seemingly interested in this information. You're not complaining, he is definitely attractive company.

"And you found yourself here of all places."

"I have a friend who comes from Sokovia. She had mentioned it to me before I left for my trip, the least I could do was come and see," you told him, still enjoying your meal.

"Sokovia isn't exactly a popular destination, but I welcome you all the same. I also welcome you to my restaurant."

"Ah, so you are Helmut Zemo? I was reading the plaque over there," you said, nodding over at the wall.

"The one and only. Do I get the honour of your name?"

"So you ask all your customers for their names?" You ask, smiling at him.

"Only the really interesting ones."

"Interesting? I've been here all of five minutes. What makes you think I'm interesting?"

"When you work in a business like this, you get to know who is interesting or not. It comes with the territory. Also, moat of my customers are locals, so anyone from outside the country has to be interesting in some way," he crosses his arms and looks at you smugly.

"I see," you chuckle.

"Is that a no, then?"

"Y/N. My name is Y/N," you reply rather bashful.

"Y/N, lovely."

The way he says it with his accent makes a shiver run down your spine. You had a sudden need for him to say it again, but you also had to remember to be a normal human being who isn't going to freak out the lovely man they just met.

"Your meal is on the house."

You look up at him sharply.

"Oh no, please let me pay," you say urgently.

He shakes his head.

"No, this one is free. Only this one."

"You say that as if you know I'm going to come back," you look at him with a narrowed gaze.

"I trust that you will," he smirks.

"Why?"

"Well, you ate everything, complimented both my food and establishment, and I'm far too interesting, myself, for you only to come by once."

You laugh softly, shaking your head at him. His eyes lit up at the sound.

"Insufferable," you say, sliding off the stool.

"I'm aware, you get used to it."

You smile as you make sure you don't leave any of your belongings behind and thank him for the delicious food.

"Come again," he says.

"I'll think about it."

You leave, knowing he was smiling as you left the building. You make your way across the square, resisting looking back through the window to see if he was still there.

You pull out your phone and bring up a map. You needed to find somewhere to stay for a few nights. You didn't have to look far. There was a small hotel up ahead and around the corner. You decided to try there.

Finding it wasn't too hard. You only had to go down a small backstreet. It was out of the way and hidden, a nice peaceful place to stay for a while.

You enter. The lobby wasn't too big and it was nice and quiet. The building was old, but the inside seemed well looked after.

You walk over to the desk and smile at the man sitting there.

"Hello."

He smiles, "hello."

He spoke English too. That was good. Your Sokovian was... nonexistent.

"I would like a room for a few nights."

He nods and opens a big book information front of him. He grabs a pen and flicks through room numbers.

"How long are you staying?"

"Three nights? Yeah, three should do." You still had countries to check off your list.

He nods and asks you to sign the book. While you do so he grabs a key from the wall behind him. You pass him the book back and take the key.

"Enjoy your stay."

You nod and take the stairs up. Your room was nice. Big enough for one person and on the main street side, where you came up to get here. You could just about see the square from the window.

You sat on the bed. Perfect. There was a TV, but something told you it would be Sokovian television. Maybe you could watch it just for the sake of it.

You lay back on the bed and took our your phone, calling Wanda.

She picked up almost immediately.

"Y/N, where are you?"

You smile, "Sokovia. You were right, Wanda, it's very pretty here."

You hear her little gasp down the phone.

"You're actually there? You're making me homesick now."

You chuckle softly.

"I'm sorry, Wanda. It's a beautiful city though. I even stopped off at one of the restaurants you listed."

"You did? Which one?"

"Escorpión Morado."

"Escorpión Morado? Oh my gosh! It's still there? Did you meet Heinrich? I remember him being so wonderful to his customers."

"Actually, Wanda, Heinrich passed away a few years ago. His son runs it now, but I guess you could say I did technically meet the owner."

"My heart is saddened to hear of his loss. I do vaguely remember his son. Though back then he worked in the kitchen and very rarely came out."

"Helmut is rather lovely. He stayed and talked to me while I ate."

"Is he cute?"

You roll your eyes at her question.

"He might be," you chuckle.

"Perhaps a romance will spark and you'll be left heartbroken because you'll have to come back here and maybe never see him again. I'll be here watching you drink wine straight from the bottle and gobble down ice cream because you're utterly in love with this man you met once while travelling."

"Wanda, I need you to stop watching those chick flick movies and come back to the real world. I'm not going to fall in love with him. His food, however, is to die for."

"Oh, you're in love with the food. Spain exists, you know."

"I know, I was there, remember? Kind of missing the sun, if I'm being honest, but my God Wanda, this man can cook."

"Marry that man, Y/N. He can cook."

"Wanda, shut up," you laugh with her down the phone.

"Never. Enjoy your time in my home country, Y/N. It honestly means the world to me that you're there."

"In taking photos, don't worry! I'll be home soon, Wanda. See you."

You end the call.

You drop your phone on the bed beside you and stare up at the ceiling. So far you really liked Sokovia, very different from places you had been to so far.

You smile as you think about Helmut. He was certainly the most memorable part of your stay here so far.

Maybe you would visit him again tomorrow.

For the food, obviously.

Part 3

You stared at the file which held your application in it. It was resting on the coffee table. Natasha had brought it to you.

Obviously you weren't good enough for Helmut Zemo. Your experience and qualifications weren't enough.

Natasha didn't know what to say.

"He doesn't know what he's missing out on. It's his loss. You can work for someone so much nicer and do so much better," she tries to tell you.

"Yeah, shame. Your paycheck was tempting," you try to joke.

"He does pay well for an asshole. Probably the only reason any of us work for him," she smiles.

"I'll finding somewhere. I still have a couple days left until they close the bakery."

Natasha gives you a hug.

"Seriously, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll help you out for as long as you need me to."

You shake your head.

"Thanks, but I'm not going to use you like that. Maybe I should look into opening my own business."

"That could work," she grins. There was no doubt in her mind that you would be successful. Once people saw your cakes, you would have orders from everywhere.

"I'll do some research."

Natasha stays for one more coffee before leaving you alone, in favour of her own place tonight. You wanted to be alone with your thoughts anyway.

The next morning, you wake up and head to work. You didn't have any goodies for the Rogers' today.

Natasha headed off to work too. She still had the cake slice you gave her. She swore she would eat it today, feeling bad for leaving it so long. Luckily, it was sealed well and would still be good.

Helmut Zemo seemed to be even more pissed off than usual today. Everyone felt like they were walking on eggshells around him.

The smallest of incidents seem to make him rage even more. Peter Parker, a young man just wanting to do his best, made a small mistake with one of the dishes they were presenting today. Natasha could only wat h as he tried to keep his composure while Zemo lost his shit.

"Do you honestly think this would suffice? Would you eat this shit? No! Do better or get out. No one wants to eat something you can't get right! How hard is it to do as I asked? Useless!" Helmut tossed the fork across the room and pushed the dish off the table. He called for someone to clean up the mess as he stormed away.

Peter went into the toilets to let the waterworks flow. Wanda, one of the waitresses, asked her brother to go in and check on him. Pietro nodded and disappears after Peter.

While Loki cleaned up the mess on the floor, Sam let Natasha go for her break with Thor. The pair made their exit out back.

Natasha grabbed the box with the cake in it and grabbed her phone, making her way outside to the wall where she sat.

Thor passed her. Usually he would go to the park further down the road to sit by the lake he liked watching the ducks as he ate. He stopped just by Natasha.

"What happened yesterday?" He asked, having not had a chance to ask about it.

"Oh, a friend of mine applied for the baker position. I found their resume in the bin. Looks like he won't be hiring them," she explains.

Thor frowned.

He looked at the cake sitting in it's little box. It looked really good. Natasha chuckle and offered him a bite. He accepted.

Thor's whole face lit up.

"This is... I want more!"

Natasha laughed.

"I'll bring some extra time."

Thor made her promise before he left to go enjoy his lunch. She open the box and takes a bite, enjoying the bliss your baking provides.

Anyone who ever eats your baking knows what true happiness is. It can be found in your cakes, your pastries, your cookies. Everything you made was done with great effort, precision, and love.

The back door to the restaurant opened. Natasha turned to see her boss, the asshole, come out. He looked pissed. His hair was a mess, as if he had either been struck with strong winds, or, more likely, he had been grabbing at it in frustration. He did that sometimes.

Natasha tried to ignore him, but that was hard to do. Helmut's pretense was intense. It was hard not to notice him.

His eyes landed on her. More specifically, what she was eating. The pale blue frosting was enough to catch the eyes of anyone.

"What is that?" He asked, coming over to where she sat. He was pointing at the box.

"A cake."

He stands over her, beady eyes narrowing at the slice on her hands. His lips were tugged as far into a frown as they could possibly be.

"Give me that."

Natasha handed over the fork she had been using. He takes it from her, surprisingly gently, and takes a bit of the cake off the slice. He quickly puts it into his mouth and chews. Natasha watches him curiously as his he tastes the Heaven sent dessert.

His expression becomes mildly confused. His head tilts to the side. He swallows the bite he had taken.

"Did you make that?" He asks.

"No."

"Where did you get it?"

"My friend made it. They bake."

"Clearly," he hisses, hating anyone who has to state the obvious. "Bring them to me."

Natasha blanks.

"I'm sorry?"

"You heard me. Bring them to me. I want to hire them."

Natasha can only stare at him.

Helmut takes another bite before he leaves her. Never had he had a cake so delicious, so magnificent, so beautiful!

He had to hire you.

However, he had no idea then what he had just done. What had just been set in motion was something he would probably regret.

Natasha pulls out her phone, the rest of the cake forgotten. She needed to call you.

You pick up almost immediately.

"Hello?"

"Y/N! Just listen to me OK?"

"OK..."

"Helmut Zemo just came out to where o was sat. He saw your cake. He tried some. He wants to hire you. He wants you to come in and see him."

Natasha is met with silence on the line.

"Y/N, he wants to hire you! This is it. This is your big break! He liked your cake!"

More silence follows.

"Well say something!"

"No."

"No?"

"No."

Natasha frowned. Her brows were knitted together as she let that short two letter word settle in her mind.

"What do you mean no?"

"I mean just that. No."

"But he liked your baking. He was impressed... I think. He has to be if he wants to hire you. Come on, leap at the chance. I can come and get you, maybe."

"No."

You hang up the phone.

Natasha looks at the screen and frowns. This was far different than she had wanted it to be. She really thought you would be jumping at the opportunity, especially with the bakery closing for good tomorrow.

Natasha looked up at the restaurant.

She would have to tell him you denied his request. That wasn't going to be a fun conversation.

Back at the bakery, you sit there pretending Natasha hadn't called.

You would not work for a man who wouldn't even give you chance from your resume. If he didn't think you were worthy before, why should you give him the time of day now?

You did not like people like him.

Helmut Zemo could stuff his job. You didn't care. You were worth more than what he could afford.

But perhaps he already knew that.
