Eddie's never met a Jedi. Of course he hasn't. But he's seen a Jedi, way back during the clone wars, when a battalion had helped after seppies had targeted civilian supply lines.
Eddie's pretty sure they were Kel Dor, what with the breathing apparatus. They'd worn tan and woody robes, long and elegant and flowing as they'd weaved between people, helping them stand or tending to wounds.
What had stood out to Eddie, watching this being that was supposedly a fierce warrior of light, was that they...were normal. They laughed and shrugged and cooed at babies, just like anyone else.
That was until the Jedi had raised their hands and lifted a two-tonne shipping crate into the air without so much as touching it. It frightened Eddie, then. Barely twenty and in the middle of a war his planet didn't want a part of. Beings that could lift and toss objects too heavy to move without machinery like they were playthings are not to be unwary of.
Of course. Eddie had spent a lot of the redistribution of rations effort around clones. They'd seemed...fine? While he is no stranger to speaking his mind he had thought well enough ahead that he probably shouldnt ask if they'd wanted to be there. Figured that might get him kicked off the project and he needed the money.
He listened instead. How they called each other things like Spoon and Duck and Trinity and Loopback as though they were names. Maybe they were. Eddie didn't know and didn't want to ask at the time.
But the Clones had been friendly, if formal. They spoke of their general with fondness and respect and a tinge of awe that felt appropriate to seeing what a Jedi was capable of frequently.
Eddie had liked them.
And then Empire Day came, and the Jedi were declared traitors and the galaxy as he knew it fell apart.
It never made much sense, from what Eddie had seen, for the Clones to kill the Jedi. But nobody asked Eddie, so Eddie didn't say. He did get sucked into the Rebellion though, and heard rumours about mind control and sith and a dozen other things.
So no. Eddie had never met a Jedi. But he'd seen one.
Chrissy had spoken about the rumoured Jedi (or-- not-jedi? She said they often refused the title) that stayed in the small Rebel enclave they've been helping. There were two, apparently. She'd met them, even, during a debrief where she'd been discussing how to better use their resources to help her contacts on the Freedom Trail. They'd barrelled in and spoken in such a way that Chrissy would have swore they were of the same mind, had they not been on opposite ends of the room.
"they were polite." Chrissy said, headtail twitching. "For people who interrupted an important meeting." Eddie'd laughed. "One, the Balosar man, he was very insistent that we delay our plans. The other, I think she was human? It's hard to tell, said the force was calling to them and very insistent about it during meditation."
"seriously? And the generals did it?"
"oh no. They argued for another twenty minutes before the not-Jedi threw up their arms and said, in unison Eddie!, 'The shipment will be lost if you go ahead with it. Better late than never, pricks.' and walked out."
So. On an abstract level, Eddie knew that whenever he entered the hangar bay to run maintenance or completely rebuild a ship, there was a chance for him to meet a former? Jedi.
He'd gotten well acquainted with a group of teenagers there, ones who were friends with the younger brother of the heir apparent to the region they were in and liked the make-believe games he ran in his off hours. But he never really thought about the Jedi that supposedly haunted the base until a woman shouted for Dustin, a rodian who was part of his little sheepies and had literal stars in his eyes when Eddie spoke, to come over. Dustin, the betrayer, jumped up and dashed off without even a word of goodbye.
"okay, so the head mechanic needs this-" she gestures to a small smuggling freighter that had seen far better days "hunk of junk out of the way so they can start work on a couple of x-wings. Steve and I figured we could help her out and get you to work on control of larger objects."
Eddie meandered casually over. Just to watch. Just to...see.
Dustin bounced on his feet. "Really? Woah! Where are we putting it?"
She pointed up, to the open vertical entry doors that created the roof of the hanger. "Steve's up there, he'll make sure if your control slips we don't crush the ship or anyone on the floor once you get it high, and he'll get it out and place it where it's supposed to go. I'll be here with you so you don't hurt yourself."
"I'm not gonna hurt myself."
She patted his head "yeah. Cuz I'm right here making sure."
"uhg. Almost wish I never learned you guys used to be Jedi."
"and who would train you then? No one. You and El would be sad little tooka kits all on your lonesome." She raised her voice to yell at the roof, "you ready Stevie?" and it should not have been loud enough to carry, the tone of an after thought, as though she already knew the answer and the question was just for the spectators, but the figure silhouetted waved.
Then, Dustin took a steadying breath, raised his arms, and closed his eyes. Slowly, the ship in front of him groaned and rose up. A crowd had formed, watching a magic thought extinct.
The woman's eyes darted between Dustin and the freighter, one hand loosely outstretched. It occurred to Eddie that neither wore the tunics and robes of Jedi. Dustin ran around in the mismatched pants and shirts of the Rebels' donations, while the woman wore deep greens. There were no dramatic sleeves that swished when they moved, just slightly loose fabric fastened by a belt and holster. He wonders if she ever wore them.
Dustin struggled for a moment, the ship quivering ten feet up, and the woman tensed slightly before he loosened. Eyes open, she deftly moved her arms up with the ship following, an ease in her movements that Dustin lacked. When she dropped her arms as well, the freighter stayed moving upwards, the other not-Jedi, Steve, likely taking over.
"good work for your first go." She said, draping an arm casually over Dustin's shoulders.
"I barely got it off the ground! Don't patronize me, Robin."
Eddie stepped in "considering I wouldn't even be able to move it sideways an inch, I'd say you did pretty well, Dustin."
The kid spun, just as the light comes shining back through as Steve maneuvered the ship out of the hangar. "Eddie! You saw?"
He scoffed "uh. Yes? Why didn't you tell me this is what you did when Im not around"
The woman-Robin, Eddie supposed, tensed. "It's not particularly safe to boast about it. Especially when it's not clear if you're alone."
Ah. Yeah. That did make sense. "Then why practice in a hangar with two dozen people around?"
She shrugged, and looked up. Eddie followed her sightlines and "wait is he gonna-" just as the figure that must be Steve launched himself off the edge of the open roof and towards them. He landed, he's leather jacket flapping behind him, and stood straight, grinning.
Robin laughed. "You'll give someone a heart attack one of these days, Steve."
"eh. No one's died so far."
Dustin smiled too "I'm getting pretty good at my controlled falls too! Oh, Steve, this is Eddie!"
And then Steve turned his gaze on Eddie, and his brain may have melted.
Steve looked like a spacer, windswept from the fall and leather jacket snug around his shoulders, two different holsters visible, his pants deliciously tight. He ran a hand through his hair, his antennapalps bobbing, and stuck it out for a shake.
"so, you're the great Eddie Munson Dustin hasn't shut up about? Good to meet you."
"mmhmm!" He forced his hand out to jerkily shake Steve's. Jeez. It was as though he'd never seen anyone beautiful before. His best friend was a Twilek dancer (and spy) for star's sake. He needed to get it together. Jedi didn't date, Eddie was pretty sure. Something about the force or power or devotion or something. He wasn't sure. He wasn't a Jedi. He wasn't a not-Jedi either.
Steve only smiled and turned back to Dustin. "So. Next time you need to let the Force flow. You're still trying to shove it, which never works. You direct it, like changing the course of a river."
"but not," Robin added seamlessly, and oh, wow, that was weird than you Chrissy "like a dam. Trying to block it won't give you strength. You're more..."
"using a log to ensure the water finds a different path."
"to go where you want it to go, do what you want it to do, without preventing it's natural flow."
"you guys are so annoying." Dustin huffed. "You know that? You can claim it's your Concordance of Fealty all you want but I know your freaky thing is not normal for it." He groaned. "But sometimes I feel when you guys, like, shape it. Change it. What the kark is that about? If I'm not supposed to dam it, how do I change it and use it like you do?"
Both grinned "We're older. Master the basics, we must, before attempting the advanced, young one." The voice Steve used was croaky, an impression.
Dustin pulled a face. "Don't quote Grandmaster Yoda at me!"
Robin and Steve laughed, leaning on each other. Suddenly, Eddie felt as though he was intruding. Though they hadn't told him to leave, they were sharing about...about a relative, Eddie guessed. Someone near to them and their almost-dead culture.
"I can quote him all I want, I drank enough of his atrocious tea to deserve it!"
"he's dead. You're going to sit here and insult your dead great-grandmaster, the last Grandmaster of the Order?"
Steve got Dustin in a headlock "while we mourn their loss, and acknowledge the pain of their untimely and unjust passing, we celebrate their memory. Yoda, the old frog, is one with the Force, and while I can wish for his guidance, I can also make fun of his vile cookies I had to eat at lineage dinners all I want."
"pretty sure they were barely considered edible for near-humans" Robin adds. She caught Eddie's eye, and winked. "Who's up for actually edible tea? Dustin can practice his fine control and pour for us.
Both Dustin and Steve groaned. "The kid is gonna spill all over us for fun, Bobbin."

He cut the connection and Piett pulled up to the emergency station platform, vaulting over the side of the speeder and running to Max’s side as personnel began to run out.
“What happened?” asked the lead nurse, scanner out and running over Veers’ head wound.
“Hit in the head with a rock,” Piett informed him, trying to keep his tone clinical. “It was thrown from about six feet away. He was able to keep his feet and make it to the speeder with my help.”
The man nodded as the grav sled was prepped and the others prepared to lift the General.
“And his name?”
“General Maximilian Veers.”
Piett jogged alongside the team as they began to move.
“Are you his next of kin?”
“No,” he answered as the doors hissed open to admit them to the warmer air of the hospital. “His wife. Myra Veers—she works here.”

Whumpril Day 27
Alt. “Let Me Know if You Need Anything”
Spoiler: This is an excerpt from It All Falls Down
“He would never do that,” Rex reiterates, fiercely. It doesn’t make sense. And even if he was, there would have to be some kind of investigation, right? They couldn’t just declare an order of tens of thousands of people traitors, just like that.
“I don’t believe he would, either,” she murmurs, “But somehow, the Senate believed it.”
Rex knows what happened next. He doesn’t even need to ask, but there’s still a part of him that needs to know.
“It was proposed by… the Senator of Glee Anslem,” Senator Amidala tells him. The name is vaguely familiar. It’s the home planet of the Nautolens.
Rex remembers seeing a holo of him once before. He was one of the Senators that his general never seemed to have a high opinion of. Rex can’t remember the name, but the Nautolan was scarred and often seemed angry… perhaps because of a battle from long ago on his own planet. He had a good relationship with people in the Senate who pushing for the war to continue.
And Rex also remembers that his general didn’t like him, and that’s all he needs to ksnow to make a judge on the Senator himself. And that was before, back before the Jedi were… lost. It still doesn’t seem possible. “Do you know of any survivors?” he inquires.
“There were a couple younglings able to escape, whom I helped transport offworld,” she replies, “Other than that, we have heard nothing.”
“I will see what I can find,” Rex decides, standing. He doesn’t know if his general is still in there, or – but he has to go look for him. He has to try. Anakin would do the same for him, has done the same for him countless times, even in the beginning of the war. Even when no one else would have. And he doesn’t know Senator Amidala personally, but she… meant a lot to Anakin. Rex may not understand much about nat-born lifestyle, but he has to offer this much, at least. “Let me know if you need anything.”
“Just find him,” she requests, and there’s the faintest tremor in her voice. “If you can.”

HP Rec Fest, Day 29 ❄️
@hprecfest daily prompts running through Dec 31. Goal is to find lesser-known or underrated Tomarrymort works, even by well-known authors, to feature here.
*
Day 29: A Post-Canon Fic
The Other Path by @vdoshu (T, 23k, complete)
Summary: They won the war. Voldemort was gone. The remaining Death Eaters had been captured. They finally had peace. No one ever said peace was so dull. Why I rec it for this prompt: A post-war fic about Harry who finds himself needing a challenge — some kind of reason to feel alive after the war ends — and how he ends up seeking that out in another dimension where Voldemort is still around. A very fun read that shows how very much Harry and Voldemort need the other, even when everything else in their worlds is seemingly going their way.
*

Going Under Ch. 27
summary: the team has had enough of the lovebirds so they take a little getaway back to the city!
characters: Bucky Barnes x OC
soundtrack: About You - the 1975
warnings: fluff, pop star fantasy x love story, set in an AU where the Avengers reunite after Civil War, pre-infinity war, slight angst, hurt/comfort, lonely reader/OC.
author’s note: okay OKAY this is big, I'm so sorry for the delay! for a while I was getting multiple chapters up in a week and it's taken me like two weeks to finish this one! partly because I wanted to let the last one simmer and didn't know how to follow it up - partly because life was crazy! I had a birthday and was off doing who knows what, but I'm BACK! thanks for the patience and all the loveeee! enjoy!
chapter list
________________________________
“That’s it. I’m moving back to New York.” Sam declared, pushing back from the table. “I’m about to stab myself in the ears.” 
“Oh come on, it’s not…horrible.” Steve looked at him apologetically as the sound of a headboard against a wall interrupted him mid-sentence. 
A collective groan rang out around the table, Natasha dropping her hand onto her hands and Peter sliding his plate away slowly. It had been just over a week since Gianna and Bucky had officially consummated their relationship and the whole compound knew about it. Those unfortunate enough to share a floor with them had it the worst, hearing the evidence of their passion up to three times every day. Bucky hadn’t helped with training in several days, at Steve’s insistence. When two recruits came in early to get warmed up for their training session and found Gianna pressed up against a wall, legs wrapped around the Winter Soldier himself -- they decided the extra sparring wasn’t worth it. It was an unspoken rule to avoid the dock altogether. What was the setting for their first real kiss had since become a favorite lovemaking spot, especially at sunset. 
As much as everyone preferred not to hear the chorus of moans during breakfast, not one person was unhappy about their relationship. 
If anyone had experienced more than a lifetime’s worth of pain, it was James Buchanan Barnes. 
If anyone had brought color back to his life, a smile back to his face…it was Gianna Cruz. She’d charmed everyone she’d come into contact with on the compound, everything about her oozing genuine sweetness. 
They deserved this. They deserved each other. 
Everyone else, however, couldn’t help but wonder what the hell they did to deserve this front row ticket to a downright pornographic soundtrack. 
“Mornin.’” 
The team looked up from their discarded plates, snapping out of whatever daydream they were using to escape reality. Bucky strode towards them, tugging a shirt down over his stomach. His gray sweatpants didn’t leave much to the imagination, especially with the recent excitement not fully out of his system. 
“Sleep well, princess?” Sam called from his position leaning against the counter. Bucky narrowed his eyes, regarding him as though deciding if he wanted to growl something back. He settled on something more peaceful. 
“Fine.” 
“Funny, because I could have sworn I heard you up around 2am.” Nat smirked. 
Tumblr media
“Now that you mention it,” Wanda pretended to scratch her head in confusion. “I think I heard that too. Or was it 5am?”
“You guys can joke all you want, but I have the room right below them. I might actually need therapy.” Peter deadpanned. 
Uncharacteristically quiet amidst the team’s teasing, Bucky poured himself a mug of black coffee and leaned against the counter across from Sam. He sipped the hot drink, looking mildly amused. 
“Isn’t this the part where you tell us to shut the hell up or you’ll chokeslam someone out a window?” Sam cocked his head. 
“Something tells me he did enough choking last night.” Nat’s smirk only grew. 
A half smile played across his face, stubble growing longer than usual from his lack of shaving over the past few days. He said nothing, sipping his coffee again. 
“Well? Anything to say for yourself there, Barnes?” 
“You guys sound bitter.” He grinned. “You all need to get laid.” 
_________________________________________________
Gianna’s POV
“Hurry back!” I called from the tangled mess of comforter and sheets, admiring the view of Bucky’s lower back as he disappeared through the door, still pulling his shirt down. My stomach growled. I’d been utterly ravenous lately. Something about sleeping with a super soldier, you’re gonna burn a lot of calories. Thank God my bedroom was close to the kitchen. 
Our routine for the past week had been pretty simple. Eat, sleep…fuck. 
Well, it wasn’t always fucking. Sometimes it was sweet, gentle, soft. Something that could only be considered making love. Other times…
“Bucky…” I giggled as his hand slid up my shirt in the dark, empty training room. 
“It’s okay, we’re so early. Sessions don’t start for another hour.” He grinned, gripping my waist and lifting me up. I couldn’t help the little squeal that escaped me. His hair was still slightly sweaty from his morning run, the smell of him almost intoxicating. 
“If you say so, Sarge.” We walked backwards as he kissed me, holding me up as if I was weightless. I wrapped my legs around him, wanting to be as close as possible every single second of every single day. When my back gently hit the wall, I felt cold metal fingers slide underneath my skirt, searching for panties to pull to the side. 
I wasn’t wearing any. 
Bucky groaned into my open mouth, fumbling with his own waistband instead. In a flurry of sweaty kisses and desperate grips, he was inside me. Right there, up against the padded training room wall. I cried out, biting my lip to keep quiet as our sounds echoed through the empty room. 
My fingers tangled in his damp hair, my head falling back as he kissed my neck, my collarbone. I was putty in his hands. He was so strong. So steady. He held me up with one hand, the other cupping my face as I moaned. He never broke his steady, desperate pace of thrusts into me. 
It sounded like somewhere far away where a door opened and someone sucked in a sharp breath. I was somewhere between utter bliss and intense pleasure and quite honestly didn’t give a shit who saw. When the door slammed behind whoever it was as they fled, I laughed into our kiss until my laughter was drowned by the peak of pleasure he always made sure to give me. 
“Miss me?” Bucky breezed back through the door, two steaming mugs in his hands. He handed one to me as he slid back into bed with me. 
“Always,” I sipped the coffee, not caring that it was bitter and black. I just needed something to stop the growling in my stomach. “Were they mad?”
He grinned. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 
“Come on, Buck,” I elbowed him. “It’s been over a week since we’ve been at breakfast, or any meal…I feel bad.” 
“Want me to make you feel good instead?”
“Bucky Barnes!” I gasped in mock offense, ignoring the unironic flutters in my stomach. 
“Don’t worry about them.” He stroked a strand of my undoubtedly messy hair behind my ear. “Besides, they won’t have to worry about it for a few days.”
“Hmm, and why is that?” 
“I thought we could go up to the Tower for a few days. Just us. It’s not like they’re going to miss me in training anyways, clearly they can get on just fine.” Bucky sipped his coffee. “It’s been a while since we’ve been in the city, and we haven’t really ever been…alone. The tower will be empty for a few days. I figured, I mean if everyone wanted, I thought they could fly out for Thanksgiving later this week. There’s a great view of the parade from the balcony and I thought -”
“Yes.” I couldn’t help cutting him off. He over-explained when he was nervous and as adorable as it was, I couldn’t wait a second longer to tell him how much I loved his idea. “James Buchanan Barnes, that sounds completely and utterly perfect.” 
He smiled, shoulders relaxing slightly. “I was hoping you’d say that. We leave in an hour.” 
_________________________________________________
The Quintet sailed through the night sky, its sleek form navigating the clouds effortlessly. Seated in the co-pilot's chair, Gianna watched the blur of terrain below, marveling at the view as Bucky guided the aircraft towards New York.
"You know, you're pretty hot as a pilot." she remarked with a grin.
He grinned, his eyes fixed on the horizon. "This is one of the more difficult flights I’ve had."
“Really? Why?” Her brows furrowed. 
“Because I need to keep my eyes on the sky, but all I want to do is look at the girl in the seat next to me.” 
Gianna's fingers traced the edge of the console as she blushed. Her gaze rose to the miles of red and orange forest that stretched out before them, soaking in the beauty that was fall in the Northeast. 
"So, smooth talker, what's the plan for our little New York adventure?" she inquired.
"I figured we'd keep it simple. A stroll through Central Park, see the leaves before they fall. Maybe get dressed up in honor of our first dinner outside the bedroom in eight days. And, of course, a visit to that coffee shop you like so much."
Eyes crinkled in adoration, she responded, "You remembered."
"There’s nothing about you I want to forget." He removed his hand briefly from the control panel to squeeze her knee.
"You're smooth, Barnes." She grinned, hugging her knees to her chest in the bucket seat. “But I never said I was ready to stop eating all of our meals in the bedroom.”
Bucky cocked an eyebrow at her, grinning. “As you wish.” 
As they talked, the Quintet flew past the blur of colored below, emerging towards the industrial hues of the city. Bucky guided them through the familiar skyline towards the impossible to miss Avengers’ Tower. Gianna watched the buildings fly by beneath them, fully at ease whenever she was with him. As they descended onto the landing platform that was nearly in the clouds itself, she couldn’t help but feel like the city had never been this colorful in all the years she’d lived here alone. 
_________________________________________________
The soft glow of the city's night seeped through the curtains, casting a muted radiance in the room. Almost the entire day had been a blur, with their bags dropped on the ground within seconds of the elevator doors closing behind them. They’d collapsed to the ground in a mess of kisses and hands and laughter. 
Lovemaking. 
After dozing off on the criminally soft carpet, they’d settled into Bucky’s room. Somehow, after offering to pour them some wine, Gianna found herself bent over the bar where she had drunkenly kissed him a few months prior. 
Fucking. 
After a long, steamy shower, they’d decided it was best for them to go out. Get out of the house, if only to preserve their bodies from the ravenous desires that didn’t seem to be slowing down. 
Finally, Gianna emerged from the bedroom, fastening her second earring. She was adorned in a dress that flowed around her, a dark green that pulled a sparkle from her eyes. Standing up from the barstool where he waited for her, Bucky let out a low whistle.
"Wow," he remarked, offering a half-smile. “You look…wow.”
Gianna grinned, a hint of blush coloring her cheeks. "Has it been that long since I brushed my hair?"
Tumblr media
He extended his arm. "Shall we?"
She chuckled, slipping her arm through his. "Lead the way, kind sir."
The stepped into the elevator and Gianna didn’t hide her gaze as it raked over him. A simple black dress shirt with black slacks, hugging him in all the right places. As much as she loved him with bedhead, he looked so damn handsome with his hair tucked behind his ears. As they reached the bottom, she noticed something different – one of Tony's vintage convertible sports cars gleaming in the front circle drive.
Tumblr media
"Is this...?" she began, eyes wide.
Bucky nodded, a mischievous glint in his eye. "A classy ride for a classy lady."
Gianna laughed, genuine surprise lighting up her features. "I…wow. I didn’t expect this.”
"I’m full of surprises," he replied, a smirk playing on his lips as he opened the passenger door for her. 
As they settled into the plush leather seats of the car, Bucky turned the key, and the engine purred to life. They glided through the city streets, the wind tousling Gianna's hair. It was warm for November in New York, but the breeze gave her a chill nonetheless. 
"So why the car tonight?" she asked, watching the city lights streak by.
Bucky glanced at her, a playful grin forming. "I thought it would be good to remind ourselves that we can have a normal night out. No security, no fanfare. Just two people enjoying each other's company."
Gianna smiled, the simplicity of the sentiment resonating with her. "Normal sounds nice."
"Besides," he added, a hint of mischief in his eyes, "I don’t think you need security considering the company you’re in."
She laughed, leaning back against the seat. "True, although I’m more concerned about fangirls coming after you than me these days."
Bucky steered them into the valet circle in front of one of Gianna's favorite restaurants, an Italian place on the edge of town. A soft Frank Sinatra song greeted them as they parked, and he offered Gianna his arm once more as he helped her from the vehicle.
"Ready for a calm, normal night out?" he asked, his gaze steady.
"As long as the night in afterwards is anything but," she replied, her sultry smile a direct contrast to the sweetness of her face. She could have sworn she heard a low growl escape his lips as he held the door open for her. 
_________________________________________________
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The soft hum of conversation and the clink of cutlery against fine china surrounded them as they enjoyed the cozy ambiance of the intimate Italian restaurant. Candlelight flickered, casting warm shadows on the walls as they savored the last bites of their meal.
As the server cleared their plates, Bucky took a sip of his wine, eyes never leaving Gianna. "You know, you're even more enchanting under this light."
Gianna grinned, her eyes sparkling. "Flattery will get you everywhere, Barnes."
He chuckled, leaning back in his chair. "I don't need flattery. Maybe just a bit more wine."
She lifted her wine glass in a mock toast before downing the rest of her glass, never breaking eye contact.
Their playful banter melted into a comfortable silence as they browsed the dessert menu. The restaurant's atmosphere, the classic love songs softly playing over the speakers, the warmth in Gianna’s stomach from the wine…all of it yielded to a moment that seemed to suspend in time.
Bucky broke the quiet, his tone soft but sincere. "I…I never thought I'd find someone who could pull me out of the shadows. Gianna…you saved me in ways I didn't know I needed saving."
Gianna reached across the table, her fingers finding his. "And you, Bucky Barnes, have saved me so many times I lost count. You saved me from people, from circumstances. But even more than that…you saved me from feeling alone in this world. I've traveled to so many places, performed in front of countless crowds, but it always felt like I was on the outside looking in. Until you." She squeezed his hand. 
Their gazes held, a silent acknowledgment of the confessions they’d both laid bare. The restaurant's soundtrack of old-school ballads seemed to underscore the emotions in the air.
Bucky stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. "I thought I could feel this way. After everything. I didn’t think I could feel so...alive." He shook his head, looking down. “I’m sorry, I’m not as good with words as you.”
Gianna's eyes softened, and she smiled. "Funny, I was thinking the exact opposite. You make me feel alive, too.” 
He raised his glass with the hand not holding hers. “To feeling alive.” Their glasses clinked, the last of their wine not holding a candle to the intoxication from the buzz between them.
Tumblr media
_________________________________________________
The car purred to a stop in front of the Avengers' Tower, its vintage frame a testament to another time. It was perfect for her forties’ man, with all his charm, Gianna thought as she leaned comfortably against Bucky's shoulder in the seat. The afterglow of their dinner date still lingered as they pulled to the front circle drive. The familiar sight of a small crowd greeted them. Fans, recognizably holding posters and notebooks, mingled with the ever-present paparazzi, their cameras flashing like strobe lights. Gianna shared a glance with Bucky, her expressive eyes conveying a mix of humor and a hint of apprehension.
Bucky extended his arm to Gianna as they stepped out of the car, a subtle nod of solidarity exchanged between them. To their astonishment, the clamor for autographs and attention was almost evenly divided between the pop star and the previously polarizing Winter Soldier.
Tumblr media
A group of young girls, their eyes wide with admiration, eagerly held out notebooks and printed photos for Bucky to sign. Gianna, ever the good sport, grinned at the irony of the situation. Just as she predicted, with his rugged charm and a hint of vulnerability, Bucky was attracting just as much attention from the fans as she was. He paused, looking at her apprehensively. Gianna nodded in encouragement, releasing his arm so he could sign the various things being thrust out to him.
The paparazzi, relentless in their pursuit of a scoop, bombarded them with questions. Gianna, accustomed to the circus of public life, fielded inquiries with her signature grace and media training. "Oh, you know, just enjoying a night out in the city." She flashed her dazzling smile, patiently waiting for Bucky to finish.
Bucky, a stoic figure in the midst of the whirlwind, focused on signing autographs. The paparazzi, sensing an opportunity for a more intimate story, decided to push their luck.
"Sergeant Barnes, any truth to the rumors that you and Gianna Cruz are more than just coworkers?"
Bucky, without missing a beat, shot a look at Gianna, his blue eyes carrying a hint of playfulness. "Did this look like a business meeting to you?"
A ripple of laughter ran through the crowd, the tension momentarily diffused. Gianna winked at him. "He's the best bodyguard I’ve ever had. Very committed to his job."
The crowd chuckled, appreciating the banter between the unlikely duo. The paparazzi, determined to get a headline, persisted. "But seriously, all those nights on the road, living at the compound…it must make for blurred lines!”
This time, Bucky hesitated for a split second, narrowing his eyes at the personal question. He ignored it and went back to signing for the giddy teenage girls.
"Gianna, over here! How was the date?"
"Is it true you two are a couple?"
"Mr. Barnes, are you falling for the pop star?"
The questions came rapid-fire, but Gianna, well-versed in the art of dodging personal queries, maintained her poise. "Can’t go wrong with a meal at Avanzare’s, I highly recommend the lasagna."
Bucky, however, wasn't as accommodating. As fans clamored for autographs, Bucky's only half of his attention was on them, keeping a close watch on Gianna the entire time. No one dared step closer to her with the intense look in Bucky’s eye challenging them. Gianna, fully at ease, smiled and engaged with the fans.
Then came the question that altered the script. "Bucky Barnes, the Quarterback for the New York Jets recently went on record saying he was, and I quote ‘absolutely in love with Gianna Cruz. Do you have any comments for that?"
Gianna rolled her eyes. Another celebrity she’d never met, name dropping her on a late night show in hopes of going viral. An old, tired PR trick. Bucky, distracted from the question by his split focus on the fans and Gianna’s safety, spoke candidly. 
“Yeah, he can join the club.”
The revelation hung in the air, a collective gasp from the crowd. Bucky, realizing what he had admitted, turned to Gianna. She stood there, a mixture of surprise and giddiness on her face, mirrored by the expressions of the onlookers.
"I..." Bucky spoke slowly. “I am so…unbelievably, uncontrollably, stupidly, insanely in love with her.” 
His words were hanging in the night air as he blindly tossed the sharpie he was holding back to a fan and stepped to Gianna. She was beaming so widely her cheeks hurt. 
“It’s about time you said so.” She spoke softly. “Here I’ve been, hopelessly in love since the first week of tour.” He looked down at her, running his fingers down the back of her arms. Goosebumps erupted in their wake. 
“I’m sorry. I love you. I’m in love with you. I don’t care if the whole goddamn world knows it.” 
In a flash, he scooped Gianna up, spun her around and kissed her. Without setting her down or breaking the kiss, Bucky walked into the front doors of Stark Tower, the facial recognition somehow allowing them in despite their faces being pressed together. 
The paparazzi seized the moment, their cameras clicking furiously. The fans, witnessing a real-life drama unfold, erupted into applause. The reporter who’d asked the question blinked, still processing what had happened. 
"Well, that's a headline I didn't see coming."

SCOGUE-Tember/Tober
Hi!
So, I decided to do a little something-something to motivate myself to create art and/or write. Part of this something-something also happens to involve my favorite X-Men: Evolution ship of all time 😚.
Tumblr media
I will simultaneously be posting most of these to my instagram (same name as tumblr name) and maybe other sites.
Basically, I will try to create something about Cyclops/Scott Summers x Rogue/Anna Marie each day of or before the end of the month of September.
Will I succeed? Probably not.
Am I going to try anyway? Yes!
I will try to do these spontaneously, but if any of you are particularly interested in seeing one of these art prompts completed, feel free to send me an ask including the respective prompt!
I also might include personal random head-canon/side personal fan project ideas if I have the time, though those may be mostly reserved to my instagram 😅

These men, right here and now, they only had her.
And so, to save them, to save the man she loved with her soul, Leia had….let go.
She had stepped forward, past Wolffe’s grasping hand and closed her eyes, raising her arms.
She listened.
She felt the rough terrain beneath her boots.
She smelled blood and sweat and ozone.
She could hear her own heart beat in a thunderous rhythm.
They had nothing else, these people dear to her.
But they had her.
The Force is with me…

A few head canons I have about Marida Sumar (since I'm developing her character further for Defectors AU-) (+some Morad, Ryder, Tseebo, & Ephraim bits)
[Ended up being more than a few-]
[Also please feel free to add!!!! I'd love to see more about these characters 😭]
-She's not from Lothal, but she moved to the planet after meeting Morad in their youth (around 23 to 27 ish). Her planet was recovering from a long war when aid from neighboring planets all flocked to help rebuild.
A farmboy, Morad Sumar, with a smile of sunshine among them. He asked her so many questions. The boy literally never shut up. He probably talked to fill the silence because she didn't.
She was a soldier through and through, just like her sisters and her father and his father and his mother and so far down her family line. And after the war, she was the only one left. She lost her family and they were her home. So she didn't know where to go without orders. The war was over but she wasn't done. She didn't have an outlet or direction. At least not until she saw this Lothalite kid stumbling his way off a ship about to drop a crate of fruit if she hadn't swooped in to help him.
And he never left her alone since. But, to be fair, she never told him to either. Because he filled the silence.
---
-Morad is about 4 years older than her, but she still called him kid/boy in their younger years. She was 24 when they met and 29 when she finally followed him to Lothal. And she finally found out why he was always so starrily joyful. Lothal is the most beautiful planet.
-Ryder is the same age as Morad but treats him like his kid brother, infact Ryder and Marida bond over teasing him. [And you can bet your ass Ryder teases him about his crush on the stunning soldier girl he brought home.]
-During the five years before Marida came to Lothal, she had decided to travel around to try and figure out herself a bit more. She kept running into that kid with the bright smile who talked a lot. She would arrive to a planet to help them fight and he would arrive to help supply food. There was a lull where there wasn't any fighting, no battle, no war, no recovery. So That lothalite kid asked if she wanted to see his planet until she figured out where she wanted to go next.
She ended up not leaving, at least never for long. The Azadi family took her in and the Sumar family asked her to help around the farm. She finally felt complete because she was being given direction. Even if the tasks were mundane and simple, it was still dependable work. And that's what she loved doing. Fixing things around the farm, helping the Azadi family build around Lothal, listening to the cute farmboy chatter endlessly while he embroidered and she worked on repairing a field droid.
---
Working with the Azadi family also meant that she met the other politician families. And the politician families of Lothal were definitely... different. Not in a bad way either. But definitely different.
It's how she ended up meeting Mira, daughter of a Lothal ambassador and a Lothal minister. Marida was often asked to assist Mira. Marida had expected the young girl to probably be meek or even tempered. but STARS WAS SHE WRONG.
Mira just barely turned 13 when Marida met her and Marida learned VERY quickly why she was asked specifically to be the one to help Mira. Mira was fiercely independent and demanded that she do things herself. The only person who could ease her temper had often been a rodian kid the same age. And then Marida was 'granted privileges' when after helping Tseebo, Mira dubbed Marida her commander. The girl was definitely something, but she had an intense passion to help others. And Marida did her best to help Mira fuel her... intense passion in a productive direction. And Mira definitely became much more tame, but one can only keep a fire tame to a certain extent.
---
Marida was the first one to meet Ephraim. A orphan kid from the opposite side of the planet. Marida had been asked to bring and exchange produce with a far off city. She got lost. Ephraim was a 16 year old kid when she met him. He survived off of transporting supplies to various towns, villages, and cities in the area. Marida ran into him every day during the season, as the Sumar family needed her help there.
By the end of the season, she had grown rather fond of him. He was like a younger brother she never had. He was sweet and generous, polite and sentimental. And he cried very easily. He was such a sensitive kid. He valued community, as the community in the area had supported him after his parents passed.
The two had become friends, siblings. So she asked if he wanted to move to the otherside of the planet and help her there. She could provide him food, shelter, and clothing so he didn't have to work so hard. Enjoy being a silly teenager. And he accepted. She was the first family he's had in a long while.
Marida found it hilarious that Ephraim was the one person who could calm Mira just by giving her a tiny smile. The two became good friends and then started dating when Mira became an assistant minister during a rite of moon festival.
Ephraim managed to help Mira learn more patience and yielding and Mira encouraged a boldness in Ephraim.
---
-Tseebo has always been meek Mira would fiercely advocate in his place and when Marida earned his trust, he followed her around too. She found out very quickly why Mira was always so... assertive when it came to Tseebo's behalf. Tseebo is incapable of hurting a fly. Tseebo is also a sensitive kid, and cries if you raise your voice at him. He also has a tendency to do anything asked of him. Mira fights for Tseebo because Tseebo appears to be unable or unwilling to stand up for himself. She learns that Tseebo actually does it out of a sense of self preservation. She tries to teach him that it's okay to stand his ground, but there's resistance. Mira tells her that it's fine because he has her, they're best friends and best friends will have each other's backs- flaws and all.
It seems to be very difficult for him to learn basic. When Mira found out that Tseebo started to take a liking to Marida, she taught her some rodian. She learned that Tseebo is learning basic as quickly as he can, it's just very difficult for him to translate his throughts and then also to annunciation the contrasting syllables.
Tseebo loves photos, however. And he's really good at them. It's something that always brings a smile to his face and it's how he shows his affection for you. Mira would always be thrilled to stop and pose for Tseebo. It was a game for them; who was faster? The model moving to a pose or the photographer winding up his camera? Tseebo was the one to help many families fill their holo-albums. And they all marveled over Tseebo's skill.
---
-Marida is stubborn and ridged; tough when first meeting someone. Only a few people have seen her softer side.
-she's a handiworker: a fighter, a carpenter, an electrician, a construction worker, a heavy lifter, a mechanic.
-Morad was the one to propose to her.
-Mira was the one to propose to Ephraim. (After consulting with Tseebo for ideas on how.)
-Marida doting on Morad was obvious to literally everyone accept for Morad himself.
-Ephraim and Marida were best friends. They were each other's family and their family grew to be much bigger than either of them had ever imagined it would be.
-Marida loves the fields and trees of Lothal. The lack of help from the senate angered her, but surprisingly, Mira had been the one to calm her. By the time the empire came to Lothal and got rid of all the trees, both of them have decided that this isn't going to be permitted. They banded together the family and worked on a plan.
---
Age key for my reference since they don't have canon ages [as of beginning of swr]:
-Mira - 37
-Ephraim - 39
-Tseebo - 37
-Ryder - 59
-Morad - 59
-Marida - 55

IDK if you did mention this or I'm making it up, but I feel like you said you'd post the actual list you picked from for the AU roulette challenge at least partway through the month? (I didn't make the signups on time :') and probably would've procrastinated anyway oops, so I've been curious)
Thanks!
No, you remembered right! I was hanging onto it for a while in case anyone wanted to make requests for a second fandom, but I never actually got any secondary prompt requests, so i decided to wait until the end of the challenge instead.
My AU list was as follows:
1 - Pacific Rim/mecha 2 - Star Wars/space opera 3 - Roleswap 4 - Superhero 5 - Vampire 6 - DnD/fantasy 7 - Star Trek/space exploration 8 - Post-apocalypse 9 - Fairytale 10 - High seas 11 - Time travel 12 - Western 13 - Daemon 14 - Mythology 15 - Coffee shop 16 - College/academia 17 - Community theater 18 - Summer camp 19 - Ghost/cryptid hunters 20 - Secret agent 21 - Sherlock Holmes/detective 22 - Cyberpunk 23 - Medieval/Renaissance 24 - 1920s/Prohibition 25 - Road trip 26 - Your job 27 - Indiana Jones/archaeologist 28 - Heist 29 - Your favorite historical era 30 - Band/musicians 31 - Farm/ranch 32 - Lovecraftian/cosmic horror 33 - Urban fantasy 34 - Roller derby 35 - Shakespeare/classic lit
If I ever run the challenge again, I would probably keep some of the same AUs on the master list just because I chose classics for a reason, but I might randomize which ones stay in and which ones get replace just for an extra layer of roulette.
