Happy Birthday, Old Man by @tllgrrl aka Nefertiri Jones
Summary: Bucky celebrates his 100 and somethingth (“Who’s countin’?”) birthday with his family, and an old friend makes an appearance.
* * * * * * * * * *
For @buckybarnesevents Bucky’s Birthday Bash: Bake A Cake Edition
Base - #6 Post-Endgame /Post-TFATWS
Filling - Trope/Quotes: #1 There was only one bed. (Kinda…)
Frosting - Characters: #11 Sarah Wilson (and Cass, AJ, and Alpine)
Toppings: Colours: Blue (mentioned)
* * * * * * * * * *
He slowly opened his eyes and Sarah’s shoulder was the first thing he saw.
Smooth. Dark. Highlighted by pale blue moonlight through the skylight.
He didn’t want to move, but he carefully extracted himself from the bed, grabbed his robe from the chair, made his way out of the room, quietly closing the door behind him, and headed down the stairs.
He drank a glass of water, then stepped out onto the deck that overlooked the lake.
It was chilly enough to where he wrapped Sarah’s shawl she’d left outside around himself before stretching out on one of the deck chairs, and leaning back to look up into the starry night sky.
The light fragrance of her—and his—favourite body lotion enveloped him.
So many stars. Different constellations are visible in Upstate New York than in Southern Louisiana…than in Wakanda…than in…than…in…
“So…seems like you got some of that Life that Tony was talkin’ about, too, huh? I’m really happy for you, Buck.”
“Mmmm. Wha—?” Bucky opened his eyes, looked over to his left, and there was an elderly man—tall, with white hair—standing at the railing, looking out over the still waters.
It looks like, but it can’t possibly be…
“Steve…?“
“Happy Birthday, Old Man.”
“Thanks, pal. What—?”
Just as the man turns to face him—
Sarah shifts a little.
“You okay, Old Man?” She reaches back and gently rakes her fingers through his hair.
Bucky opens his eyes. He’s in bed. Sarah’s shoulder is the first thing he sees.
Smooth. Dark. Highlighted by pale blue moonlight through the skylight.
“Nothin’.” He kisses that shoulder, gently rubs his cheek on her. “Just a dream, nandi.”
“A good dream?” She whispers, but he can hear the smile in her voice.
He closes his eyes and buries his face in her hair, inhaling her and pulling her closer, wrapping his arm around her.
“Yeah. Not as good as this, though.”
Behind him is Cass. Cass’s heels are at his back and his head is pointed toward the foot of the bed.
AJ is curled up at Sarah’s feet.
The plan was to take the boys to their room and tuck them in after Storytime, but everyone had all fallen asleep in the King-sized bed because it was cold outside, and the vacation cabin had a fireplace in the master bedroom, so they were all cozy.
A purr is coming from somewhere above his and Sarah’s heads, and Alpine’s paws find his head and begin gently kneading his scalp.
“Hey, up there,” he whispers, “settle down, you.”
Outside, it’s wee hours dark, but the moon is almost full. Along with the soft glow of the nightlight by the door, Bucky can make out the details in the room, and of the blanket covering them.
It’s different shades of blue, woven from fibers dyed with indigo.
Woven into the blanket there are symbols, words, prayers that offer blessings and protection.
There is a similar spread on Sarah’s bed back home in Delacroix. The boys have their special Border Tribe blankets as well. This particular super-sized blanket travels with the family when they go on vacations and road trips.
It is soft, yet substantial thanks to the Vibranium that’s woven into the cloth making it practically impervious to a whole list of threats.
And most importantly, it keeps his family comfortable and warm.
Before he goes back to sleep, Bucky looks over to the nightstand and sees the framed photograph they’d given to him earlier.
A photo of Sarah, Cass, AJ, and him.
It had been beautiful at the dock on that special day. They were all smiles, dressed to the nines, and Sarah was holding a little bouquet of flowers.
The card next to the photo was handmade by the two boys and read:
Happy Birthday, Dad!! We Love You!!
Happy Birthday, mthandi! Sarah wrote under the boys’ names, and had drawn a heart.
“Happy Birthday, Old Man,” he heard the familiar voice as it faded away.
Yeah, Bucky thought as he drifted back to sleep, smiling.
Happy.

PoliZ's WIP Update - 6 March 2024
Still busy IRL and was out of town this weekend, which cut een more into my writing time/energy.   I touched  3 fics (2 new works & 1 WIPs) for a total of  1136  words.  
On Ao3, I posted: 
Chapter Two of  A Vision of Things To Come - WinterIron time travel shenanigans with wartime!Bucky. 
On Tumblr I posted: 
The Battle of New York -  Steve POV ficlet of the title event. 
I’m juggling  18 😬 active/semi-active WIPs with my current  deadline being the  Bucky Barnes Birthday Bash  (March 10) and the Post July Break Bingo, which ends in April. 
See  below cut for what I’m working on/planning to work on - arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc.  As always, feel free to send me   prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding  any of these projects  or any other WIPs I’ve got out there.   Interaction really helps feed the Muse and keep me motivated!
Stony AUniverse Bingo  [SAUB_R1] (ends 15 Feb)
Final count - twenty-one fills for five bingos - hoping this event comes back so I can carry over a couple of squares!   Masterpost forthcoming….   
Captain (America) Bottom Bingo - Round 2 [CABB] (ends 28 Feb 2024)
I signed up for a 3x3 card for this bingo and managed a blackout plus an adopted square - Masterpost forthcoming!  
Bucky Barnes Birthday Bash - [BBE_B4] (fic due Mar 10) 
Another fun quickie event from the folks over at @buckybarnesevents! Participants build a fanwork  ‘cake’  by choosing the following ingredients - a base Universe, a Trope or Quote as the filling, another characters as the frosting and a color, kink and/or date idea as the topping.   
I started up a  Wartime Bucky/Steve fic - working to incorporate Forced Proximity/Only One Bed and Competency/ Strength/ Size Difference Kink     This could also fill my SRB E5 - Oversensitivity/Enhanced Senses and JBB “It’s you. It’s always been you.” squares.  It’s sitting at 184 words so far & am targeting Sat or Sunday to post.   
Post July Break Bingo  [JBB_23p] (Ends Apr 2024)
One fill on my  2x3 non-fandom-specific card - still working on  potential crossovers.
* A1 - “It’s you. It’s always been you.” - See BBE_B4 above 
* B2 - Character’s personality is split into two different beings – I’ve never played with Bucky & the Soldier being two different people, but this seems like the perfect opportunity! Will see what might be a good crossover on one of my open cards.
*  C1 - Touch Starved – another good fit for a Bucky-centric fic. (Steve or Tony or Clint).
Steve Rogers Bingo - Round 3 [SRB_R3] (ends  15 Jun 2024)
Eleven fills and one WIP at the moment  - need to ponder other possible crossovers with my non-fandom cards & BaBB.  
* A1 - Steve can actually dance just fine - Matched this up with the Flash Fiction Friday prompt  [#FFF238 Take My Hand]  for   Finding a Partner -  where Steve & Natasha go dancing (potential pre-slash). It came in at  239 words and will post to Ao3 before the event is over.    
* C5 - Exes to Lovers  -  Maybe pair up with BaBB  Argument?   
* E5 - Oversensitivity/Enhanced Senses - see BBE_B4 above. 
Bucky Barnes Connect Four - Alt Jun-iverse [BBC4_R2]  {Ends May 31 2024}
The good folks over at @buckybarnesevents  have opened this event up early!  You sign up for a single row card of four squares and the challenge is to see if you can combine any/all into a single Bucky-centric AU fanwork - although you can also create 2-4 separate fanworks if you want.  
The combo of prompts on my first card [Reality Show,  Omegaverse, Talent/Manager, Royalty] sparked an idea that I’m about 230 words + misc notes into already -  Alpha!Bucky as a technical prince   who gets talked into joining a reality show that is supposed to match him up with an omega… but there’s a twist!  Planning to pick this back up in the next week or so.  
Hawkeyes Bingo [HB_R2] {Ends TBD} 
Just signed up for this fun Tumblr event - got a 3x3 card and and am looking forward to creating more  Clint-centric content and trying my hand at a bit of  Kate Bishop fic as well!    
*A1 - Werewolf AU -  wrote Shooting for the Moon -  Werewolf!Bucky’s POV on the  second half of A Hairy Situation. It came in at 811 words and will get posted to Ao3 sometime in the next couple weeks. 
* A3 - Awkward Flirting – this might be a good entry into my first femslash fic with Kate/Yelena?    
Build-A-Bucky Bingo [BaBB_R1] {Ends Oct 2024}
Another fun year-long  event from the folks at  @buckybarnesevents!  Each month there’s a list of prompts and you choose (at least) one  each month for your card!
* November:  Crackfic - DONE  
* December: Wingman  - DONE
* January: Wingfic  - DONE *January: Polyamory - DONE
* February -  Fingering -  DONE * February - Morning Sex - DONE
* March  -  The Marriage of Convenience  prompt could slot nicely into the next chapter of   Lady Natasha’s Consort and Lord Steve’s Companion, which is currently sitting at 301 words.
WinterIron Bingo Round 2  [WIB_R2]
Signups are open for Round Two of this super-fun bingo event!
Hoping I get something on my card I can squish into the latest chapter of  My Love is Vengeance - as I’ve picked that back up and am 1109 words into Chapter Seven.
Warm and Fluffy   Bingo  [WFB]   (no end date)
Four  fills on my card, courtesy of   @warmandfluffybingocards  - need to try for another crossover or two!
————
On  other creative fronts:  I am working on Drusilla and Secchan ZenKaiger figures for  commissions.  I’ve finished all my  Marvel Trumps Hate  figures, but still need to create posts (and mail one set). 
If  you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for birthdays or other celebrations, check  out Stuffed With Character    over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 150!).   These soft stuffed figures are  mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC   and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design   requests  for any fandom!

As the year 2023 is nearly drawing to a close...
So much had happened in this year ,the good and the bad . In the beginning of this year 2 days after new years day i got sick with the flu bug (it was horrible),my aunt and my brother in law had both died of cancer ,a person i had grew up with had died of a sudden heart attack at the age of just 38 (our birthday is on the same day October 13th) ,my cat princess had died of kidney failure, the day after she had died i had received an unexpected surprise, my brother had send me a laptop, what a dream come true that was for me cos I've always wanted one and now i finally got it .
Matthew perry died tragically and unexpectedly, the priscilla movie came out, an 24 hour Power outage had happened in south Africa all over, a flooding had happened on the 25th of September and so many other things had happened in this year too....
But luckily i had no drama with the people i am role-playing with on this other rp website which i won't mention, but then i had made the mistake by putting on the anon asks cos i had got attacked by anons over the priscilla movie all cos or my opinions over it and also what i had written about it too ,i swear i will never put on the anon asks ever again on here out of fear that the anons will bash and verbally attack me again on here .
And then i had also suffered major health issues, tackling with that but i had survived it thankfully.
And then to you all my wonderful and fabulous followers for still sticking with me on here eventhough i don't roleplay on here anymore after the whole tj hammond/bucky barnes anon drama on here that had took place a year before....
I thank you all for sticking with me on here and still be here for me in 2024.
I love you all .
I will also never, ever forget this year...
Oh what a year this truly was...
