Catch the latest, cherish the timeless
Whenever he gets food, he inspects it from all sides. Mushing it together, pulling it apart, sniffing it, squishing it. He thinks you don’t see him do it.
Always keeps he door and all windows in sight
If you’re with him in public he’s always behind you with an arm around your waist
He shrinks himself when among the Avengers but in public he makes sure to use his presence to intimidate his way through groups
Avoids his reflection
Is always playing with your hair
Doesn’t speak much but when he’s alone with Steve he’s really sarcastic
Doesn’t fidget
Keeps his eyes lowered unless staring down someone who is looking at you
Keeps his metal arm covered at all times, has a habit of pulling the sleeve down
Compulsively checks his guns each morning and night
Plays with a knife nearly constantly
Doesn’t really smile but his lips quirk at Tony’s dumb comments
Fucks with people’s day to day life- nobody knows
Turns the toaster setting up so Clint’s toast is always black
Rearranges furniture knowing it’ll get to Sam, but Sam doesn’t know what’s wrong with the room
Gives DUM-E expired food to put in Tony’s shakes. Tells him its healthy.
Has an anonymous instagram blog he set up with FRIDAY. FRIDAY hides it from Tony. Takes photos of them out in New York, in the lobby, anywhere public. Has the Avengers thinking they have stalkers.
Takes his coffee with five sugars, creamer, and cinnamon.
Swaps the salt and sugar at irregular intervals, making everyone paranoid.
Has really mannish behavior when alone with you or Steve
Burps really loudly
Slouches on the couch
Drinks a lot of beer but never gets drunk
Thought the Superbowl was a cooking show
Thinks cheerleaders are gymnasts
Does not understand the concept of professional cheering
Is convinced you are lying and every event with cheerleaders is also a gymnast competition
Takes up two seats on the couch forcing Peter to sit next to Natasha
Peter is very, very afraid of Natasha
Tweets photos of Steve’s butt on the official Avenger’s account
Tweets photos of Tony falling, getting stuck
Tweeted photos of Natasha’s bed hair. Only once. Never again.
Swapped Clint’s explosive arrows for glitter filled ones
Casually appears out of nowhere to startle the team
Suspects Pepper is actually a robot
Thinks Vision is related to Thor and Loki
Enjoy’s Thor’s company, but pretends he doesn’t
Is amused by Loki
Hates licorice
Is deathly afraid of the dentist, so brushes his teeth three times a day
Stares at you. Constantly. He can’t stop looking at you.
Never engages in PDA
Never shows his affection for you around the other Avengers
Not because he doesn’t want them to know but knows it could put you in danger
They know anyway
When you’re alone he sits close to you but won’t touch you
Has a full on school boy crush on you
Watches your favourite movies whenever you want, even though he really, really hates this Sebastian Stan guy
Thinks Sebastian looks like a mutt
Is offended when you remark they look alike
But wait
You like Stan, do you like Bucky?
??
Things to think about
Wants a dog
Likes cats but is weary of them
Your cat attacked his hair once
Is not sure if they are good or evil
Has a pet fish
His name is Brook
Brook has a fishmate
Fishmate is called Lyn
Sometimes his accent gets really thick
It just comes out of nowhere
One day he accidentally called you doll
He ran away
It’s Feb 14th
Bucky doesn’t realise it’s Valentines Day until he sees Steve’s newspaper
Is conflicted and anxious
Decides to get you some flowers and chocolates
But he can’t just give them to you
So he leaves them outside your door
But DUM-E takes them and tells Tony he got them for Tony
Tony knows this isn’t true but can’t stop laughing and now he’s crying
Maybe kill Tony Stark maybe not ??
Goes out and gets more flowers
Decides to give them to you but can’t find you
Waits all day and finally you come home late
He goes to you when you’re on the balcony and stutters out something incomprehensible
You just stare at him wondering what the fuck “you’re flowers are really chocolate” means
He ends up throwing the flowers at you and shouting-
“I FUCKING LIKE YOU”
Tony tweets the cctv footage
Hi all! This is a pretty long list of possible situations for you and our darlin' Plum. Feel free to use them however, and if possible, tag me! I love reading Bucky x Reader (or Bucky x Tony, ikik..) and there's just never enough of it around.
I'm thinking about doing some of these so let me know if you're interested in reading one!
You are a consultant on cultural behavior, which means you detail the best appearance, attitude, and quirks for an undercover agent to have. Given your indepth knowledge, Fury assigns you the arduous task of bringing Steve Rogers and James Barnes up to speed on history post-1949.
You have known Tony for 15 years. You were born on August 1st, 1980, and attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After the war, you found yourself numb and detached from life, with your only surviving close friends and family being Harry James Potter and Ron Weasley. After suffering through apathy and depression for five years, at the age of 23, you throw yourself through the Veil. Unsure if you will encounter a blissful void, screeching hellfire and your righteous maker, or some other world, you put all your belongings in an extended bag and welcome the final step. Funnily enough, you fell face-forward into a gutter. 15 years later, Tony calls on you to consult on the portals opening at random. Unsure what to expect, seeing as you are the last magical being on this earthly realm, you agree. What you find brings back memories of parseltongue, bloodquils, and man with 7 lives. Bucky x Reader.
Born into an impoverished family, Y/N Y/L/N is the last in a long line of witch-hunters. Your father was already well into his 60s when you were born, so when he passed, it was just your mother left to instill the family doctrine in you. Despite this all, you eventually turn to a life of normalcy, and become a historian specializing in occult artifacts (that's normal, right?). Stephen Strange is a close friend, and eventually asks you to help him in his research kickstarted by Jane Foster. You come into contact with all of the Avengers although you've barely held a conversation past "Hi, how ya doin'?". With Darcy as your new best friend, and her ridiculous affair with the God of Lies, you find yourself reciting the words your father had carved into his flesh. "For our King, our God, and the Righteousness of Divinity, may God have Mercy upon your Filthy Soul." Would be very interesting with a fictional twist on a religion or faith of your choosing. Bucky x Reader where eventually Reader is the only person in the tower/compound who can successfully defend herself against attacks by the supernatural without heavy firepower- Bucky being the exception of course. Horror!theme?
It had been a nice sunny day in Manhattan. You thought to yourself, "You know what, this is gelato weather. I deserve gelato." And instead you get shot by some asshole with a red star on his shirt, kidnapped by a blonde man with a shield, and then told it was your fault for telling the red star asshole to leave your landlord alone.
Peter thinks he's sly- that you don't know about his spandex-wearing cobwebby bullshit. Ha! You'd lived next door all your life. Your WINDOW faces his. Who does he think he's fooling? Doesn't matter, he got you into a Stark Expo VIP tour. But hey, that tall brooding dude looks like he needs a laugh. Wait, what do you mean you can't say "Who pissed in your cornflakes?" to the Winter Soldier? He's not the Winter Soldier, he- oh. Shit. Haaa..haha.. "PETER!!"
As Tony Stark's assistant, you've seen a lot of stuff. You've seen him butt naked, you've seen him so drunk he thought you were Rhodey (somehow), and you've even had your heart in his chest. You and he trust each other completely. One day, you get a call and it's a hospital in Y/Home/Town. They say your grandpa had a heart attack. And so you're on leave for 2 months making sure he's okay. Ol' Dirty Dugan doesn't go down easy. When you return, there is a strange split in the team. Tony spends even more time in his lab, he smells awful, and there's bags under his eyes. The team doesn't mention him and you notice they don't call him out for missions anymore. Wtf? After some digging you find out that Clint, Natasha, Steve, Sam, and Wanda are convinced Tony is a piece of shit. They think he's selfish, a coward, and a pervert, all because of misinformation and his public image. Hell fucking no. Thank god they thawed Barnes out, at least he isn't partaking in Bully-Tony-Tuesday. In fact.. he seems to be just as distant and despondent as Tony. You have a lot of work to do.
Bucky is your best friend. In the sense that, you don't have any real friends, and he doesn't let people close. But you bring him coffee, he shares his protein bars, and sometimes you two watch youtube together. Then one day an office clerk slaps your ass. What does Bucky do? He fractures the guys jaw.
"Happy Birthday to me. Happy birthday to me.. Happy Birthday, dear (Y/N), happy..birthday..to me.." Nobody remembered. Again. Your parents didn't call. Your sister didn't call. Your old friends didn't call. Nobody on the team said anything, but then again, they probably didn't know.. you are just a lab assistant anyway. Oh, well, Jarvis 2.0 did say Happy Birthday. That was nice. Bucky overheard Jarvis, though. So he goes out and buys some flowers, a bottle of sake, and a cheesecake. And then you cry and doesn't know why. Happy birthday to me. Oneshot. Fluffy angst.
They didn't know you were sick. None of them. You were conveniently out of town when the medical check ups took place, and never allowed the pain to show on your face. But one day at work you collapse, and they can't wake you up. Cho discovers you have kidney disease. You're dying and have been for a while. Tony pays top dollar for an immediate transplant, but it will still take a month or two. You used to have morning chats with Barnes after his run. You always were an early bird. But now he's on assignment somewhere secret, and you feel even more numb. Bucky couldn't handle the thought that you'd die (you won't but he doesn't know that), so he runs. He runs and immerses himself in a mission, believing you'd never feel the same way.
You came home and discovered your boyfriend of eight years in bed with a woman you'd never seen before. Turns out they'd been having a secret affair for nearly 5 years. You are arrested for punching him in the face- not that you remember, you blacked out in rage- and humourously enough, Barnes is the one who collects you from the station. It's okay, you hadn't been in love with Jerry for a long time, but it still hurt. So when you see Jerry with his 'side chick' three months later, you also discover Bucky had a sense of humour. Apparently you're now married to James Barnes, have been for a while, and are pregnant. Of course you're not but somehow Bucky knew just what to say and do to piss Jerry right off.
