Bucky:
Right on cue, his stomach starts to growl when he hears Mrs. Kelly made them some casserole because damn, the only woman with better cooking skills than her is Bucky’s own mother. They even manage to turn cabbage into something delicious. Bucky wishes he could do that too, it would improve their dinners tremendously.
“Jesus Christ, Mr. Kelly really needs to get his shit together,” he says with a frown. That nurse - he thinks her name is Mary - is the epitome of a friendly, helpful woman. She’s really cute, too; if she didn’t have a fiance already, Bucky might have asked her out already. That makes him think of dates, though, and how shitty his own has been today, so he quickly disregards the idea. “Maybe somebody should talk to him and tell him he’s behaving like an asshole,” Bucky adds and promptly looks over at Steve because he’s a pro when it comes to giving people a stern talking. Plus, Mister Kelly can hardly run after him to sock him in the jaw like all the other guys receiving a Steve Rogers lecture, though Steve should probably pay attention so he won’t get smacked with Mr. Kelly’s wooden cane.
“Steve, do you remember ‘The Invisible Ray’? You hated it. You couldn’t sleep for a whole week. I’m not going to watch a horror movie with you again, my arm wouldn’t survive it, I had bruises for, like, a month,” he points out. He knows Steve is only trying to cheer him up, and he appreciates it, really, but doesn’t want his friend to suffer through something he hates just because Bucky is feeling sorry for himself. “It’s all right. I’m fine. Let’s eat the tuna casserole and maybe listen to the wireless a bit, hu? We could also play cards. Also, you can have the flowers. Since you’re my best pal and all.” He waggles his eyebrows at Steve.
Steve pulls a face at the insinuation by his friend that he’s the one who should have a chat with the old man. He supposes that it makes sense, but he can’t help but wonder if it might end up doing more harm than good. It’s not that Steve’s afraid to talk to him about his behavior or anything—someone needs to do it, after all. He doesn’t want to make it so Mister Kelly refuses his help anymore, and the old man might just be stubborn enough to do exactly that. If Steve does decide to give him a talking to, it’ll have to be done with the right amount of sensitivity mixed with sternness. He can’t hurt the old man’s pride.
“Jerk,” Steve mutters at Bucky’s crack about the flowers. What would he do with a bouquet of flowers, anyway? All they’d do is set off his allergies. They could give them to Missus Kelly, though. Or maybe the school teacher across the hall, Miss O’Bannon. Bucky could leave them outside the door, like a secret admirer or something. He’s sure it would make her smile.
Bucky’s right about the last horror movie they’d watched, though. Steve just doesn’t get the attraction to such things. There’s enough horror in the world as it is, he thinks, why would anyone have to make up new horrors just to purposely give you nightmares? Bucky, and a whole bunch of other people, seem to really get a kick out of them, though. So maybe Steve’s just missing something important.
“Sounds like a good plan.” He flashes his friend a quick smile. “I don’t mind spendin’ the evening beatin’ you at cards. Maybe you’ll actually learn how to play Gin Rummy one of these days....”
❛ So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate? ❜
Steve shakes his head, silent for a moment as he struggles to come up with a response to Bucky’s question. He remembers thinking he knew; back in Brooklyn he had all the answers, knew what war meant, knew what this war meant. But experiencing it, seeing the horrors before his eyes, Steve realizes how naïve he’d been. Of course, had he known the truth, it would’ve just served to make him that much more determined to fight.
“We keep our heads up, save as many as we can, and never forget that love is stronger, always,” he says finally, glancing over at his best friend with a small smile. “D’you remember that winter I had Whooping Cough? They thought I wasn’t listening, but the doctor told my mom I probably wouldn’t make it through the night. You said you’d stay up with me, and that I was gonna be okay because I wasn’t going to have to get through the night alone...”
He shrugs and drops his gaze a moment, smile growing. “I think it’s like that. None of us—we’re not alone. Hate, evil can’t stand against that.”
Finally here! It’s been a very busy weekend at the barn, and yesterday I was so sore and exhausted by the time I got home, I showered, took pain killers and went to bed. Then, got up early and out there for an early, chilly ride on my boy, and then a little party for my friend’s daughter. Then more time with the boy before some chores. Currently dealing with a little ocular migraine that should go away here in a bit, and then I’ll work on some stuff.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful Valentine’s! xo

❛ Whatever you did, you’ve been officially labeled a disturber of the peace. ❜
Steve turns a wide, befuddled gaze toward Clarke at her words. His right hand lifts, moving through the air almost haplessly at first, as if attempting to find direction, before settling in a brief touch of his fingers over his heart. He blinks; the space between his brows creases lightly. If his expression could speak on its own, it would clearly be asking, “Me?”
The pantomime fades almost as quickly as it began, hand returning to his side, though the lingering effect of perplexity remains in his eyes. Steve’s never considered himself a disturber of the peace; bringer of the peace, maybe. After all, out of all of his fellow Avengers, he’s not the one generally throwing explosives at things, save for the occasional times his shield throwing gets a little out of hand. Aside from Natasha, who has an incredible knack for leaving areas completely undisturbed save for her targets, Steve thinks himself pretty talented at mopping up the bad guys without disturbing the peace.
The skyboats in the Potomac were not 100% on him.
Still, there’s little point in arguing the label, other than to save face. So he shrugs it off, saying, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Okay, that ep of WandaVision was intense!! :(
Though my favorite exchange had to be:
“What happened to your accent?” “What happened to yours??”
Forever mind-blown by the fact that after a year of intense study, Zemo decided the best way to destroy the Avengers was by putting Bucky Barnes’ life in danger. Like, that was his entire plan.

@hydrasweapon I see you in Steve’s inbox! 😉 Luckily, I love LOTR, too. 😂

Want to ship? Feel free to tell me straight off!
Yes, shipping does need chemistry between the two muses, but if you look at my muse and think ‘You know what, I’d like to ship my muse with theirs!’, feel free to tell me, even before we start threads!
I love having a direction/goal to work the characters towards – when I write fiction on my own, I like having goals and plot points, like romances, family and friend relationships, rivals and enemies.. why wouldn’t I like having the same with RP? RP is just collaborative fiction writing!
There’s no shame in liking ships, or even RPing for ships. There’s tons of people in the world who love to read romance novels, and no one tries to tell them that’s wrong or worse than liking mysteries, or fantasy adventure. Neither preference is wrong, it’s just that – a preference!
So please – if you want to ship, or work towards of ship, in any capacity : romance, family, friends, rivals, and everything in between – TELL ME! I’d love to see what we can come up with together!

Please stay strong. If not for anyone else, for yourself. You have enough scars. Just keep your head up and find joy in the little things. I promise things will fall into place soon, you just have to go through the motions first; you just have to believe.
