I must ask about WEE BABIES! do you see sambucky having kids in your au? if yes, soon after they're married or wayyy into the future? hypothetically what would happen if *gasp* their child doesn't have a sweet tooth? 😱

The answer to this question would have been a clear no a few months ago but now I think it’s fifty-fifty. If they did have a kid, it would probably be a couple years into their marriage, and if that kid did not have a sweet tooth, I think it would go a little something like this:

“This is your fault, you know.”

“My fault?” 

“One hundred percent,” says Bucky, lifting their son into his lap and narrowly avoiding dragging his knuckles through ketchup. He’s opting to ignore the way that Riley dramatically flopped onto the table after pushing away his plate, a move that definitely came straight out of the Barnes playbook.

“You’re blaming me for the fact that he doesn’t like cake,” Sam says, as he brings their plates over, already dished out. The era of serving dishes on the table ended right around when Riley figured out how to get a grip on serving spoons and they haven’t gone back yet.

“He knows that—thanks, sweetheart—he knows that Daddy can’t carry him if Daddy’s carrying cake, and now he resents an entire genre of food.”

Sam snorts. “Yeah, it’s that and not the fact that he just doesn’t like sweet things.”

“He did act like we tried to poison him that time we fed him ice cream,” muses Bucky. “Doesn’t explain why he took one look at the chicken nuggets and decided that they were cake, too.”

Riley, not one to let his opinions go unvoiced, shifts his face slightly away from where it’s tucked into Bucky’s chest and cries out, “No cake!”

“No cake,” repeat Sam and Bucky, practiced enough to be in sync now.

“I think it’s the color,” says Sam, picking up one of the nuggets to examine it. “And I guess they’re shaped kind of like the gingerbread he tried and hated at Sarah’s.”

“I can’t believe cookies don’t get a pass, either,” says Bucky. “What are we supposed to bribe him with when he gets older?”

“Cucumbers,” says Sam. “And cherry tomatoes, when we’re desperate.”

“This kid’s being raised by two semi-professional bakers and he’s got the same diet as AJ’s pet turtle.”

Sam laughs out loud, and Riley immediately turns to look at him like he doesn’t want to miss it. Bucky can’t blame him, even if it does mean having to scramble to hold Riley secure in his lap as he wriggles around.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to hold him?” asks Sam. “How are you gonna eat?”

“I’ll be fine,” says Bucky. “One of us skipped lunch today, and it wasn’t me.”

Sam’s eyes narrow. “How’d you know that?”

“Cass ratted you out,” Bucky says. “How does a man spend ten hours a day surrounded by food and somehow still miss a meal?”

“J and I shot an extra video today so I could take tomorrow off,” says Sam, and points with his fork towards Bucky’s plate without interrupting himself. “I got distracted.”

Bucky takes the hint and looks down to see what put that little grin on Sam’s face: Riley’s chubby hand reaching out to grab one of the vareniki on Bucky’s plate. They both watch as he examines it, then grin wider as he seems to deem it far enough from cake and takes a bite.

It’s important that they not hover, so Bucky makes himself continue the conversation even though he’d much rather watch Riley copy the way Sam is eating.

“I swear, I’m gonna start setting a reminder on your phone like old people have for their pills.”

“Yeah, ‘cause what I need in a kitchen with six ovens and a dozen batches of proving dough at any given minute is more timers.”

“Then prepare for Cass to keep– wait, zaychik, that’s not a normal cucumber; I don’t think you’ll…”

Bucky trails off as Riley takes a bite of a cornichon, braced for his horrified reaction to the sourness. Instead, all they get is a thoughtful hum before he takes a second bite.

“What the hell?” mouths Sam, and all Bucky can do is shrug.

“Try the beets,” he mouths back at Sam, and watches as Sam spears a vinegar-dressed beet with his fork. A second later, Riley picks one up, too. This time, sweet doesn’t seem to be an issue, and he immediately goes for another one before turning back to the dumplings.

At some point, Sam’s phone came out of his pocket, and now he’s got it pointed at Bucky, shoulders shaking with laughter.

“What have we learned today, Buck?”

“That apparently you could’ve been wielding your influence way more often at the dinner table?”

“Bucky.”

“We’ve learned that sometimes picky eaters aren’t picky eaters,” he says, with a laugh. “Sometimes they’re just Russian.”

“And whose fault is that?”

“Hey, just 'cause I'm teaching him about his family, doesn't mean you're off the hook for the cake thing.”

“Papa, no cake!”

“No cake, buddy,” Bucky intones solemnly, and kisses the side of Riley’s head. "Guess we'll just do a giant bowl of beets for the third birthday then, huh?"

(This time, when Sam throws his head back and laughs, both Riley and Bucky stop what they're doing to admire him.)

erika! if you're still taking book asks: 1, 11, 21! 💌

book worms 📖🐛 ask game

1. Name the best book you’ve read so far this year.

I answered this already but I'll list another one, Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. YES it is as good as advertised. YES it does deserve its classic status. Specifically I read the translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, my edition of the book is the Bicentennial Vintage Classics edition which was released in 2021. It has footnotes that are really helpful for understanding the book's references and what is significant in Russian but untranslatable into English, such as when characters use the formal "you" (вы) vs informal "you" (ты). I'm not sure how faithful the translation itself is, as I don't know much Russian beyond like, a 5 year old's level, but it was a really good read and the footnotes help a lot!

11. Favorite historical fiction.

This is difficult because I don’t read a lot of historical fiction that doesn’t also have another element to it like sci-fi or fantasy, like “it’s set in the 1920s, but the protagonist has lightning powers” or something like that, or if part of the narrative is in the past, part is in the present, part is in the future. If I’m reading about the lives of people at a specific point in history, I like to read books that were written at or near that time, like reading Pride and Prejudice to learn more about 1800s England.

But I do like some! I think my favorite historical fiction book would be either The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco or The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. For a book set in the past with fantastical elements, I would say The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates. For a book with a dual narrative of the past and future that includes fantastical elements in the latter, I really liked The Immortal King Rao by Vauhini Vara.

21. The book(s) on your school reading list that you actually enjoyed.

The funny thing about me is that I enjoyed pretty much every book we read for school! It would be shorter for me to list the ones that I didn’t like (Bel Canto by Ann Patchett is the only one that I really hated), but some that stick out are All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I still have those on my bookshelf today.

hiii I would love to hear about the waffles or pancakes WIP if no one else has asked yet! 😊

Hi Jules!! You are in fact the first to ask!!

As it happens, waffles or pancakes is the only non-sambucky WIP on the list.

I have decided that this is the year that I finally sit down and write a proper fic for Ty and Tandy from Cloak and Dagger, so this is the WIP about them in the year after the Snap, doing their best to help their city and also maybe falling in love in the process. It's only an outline right now, but I know it'll draw from this prompt fill that I did about them, and I'm excited to let the Blip have some narrative consequences and somehow also???? write a story about love????

I do know that there's a scene that involves them wrangling a gaggle of tiny ballerinas, so like. At least we have that.
