OK I HAD AN IDEA A FEW DAYS AGO FOR SAMTONY THAT I THOUGHT YOU'D LOVE. Ok so teacher!Sam with single parent!Tony AU where Sam is the best teacher for Tony kid of your choice :)

this was genuinely supposed to be a tiny ass ficlet but then it just grew legs and RAN but HERE IT IS IM SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG:

begin again

Summary: Sam never imagined himself as an elementary school teacher.

(Or, after the Air Force, after Riley, Sam becomes a teacher. And then he meets Lila Rhodes. And Lila Rhodes' Dad. And Stuff Happens.)

((It's Love. The Stuff is love.))

major s/o to @warmachinesocks for the sensitivity reading and @omg-just-peachy for being the best beta ever and going through like 6 versions of this!!

📓

thank you for allowing me to ramble about a past!samriley idea (probably with some sambucky crumbs, too) that i will probably never write but love thinking about 💛

last night (yeah i literally got the idea last night lmao) i was watching Monk, as you do when you're sick with a nasty cold, and one of the episodes i watched was "Mr. Monk and Mrs. Monk." the link takes you to the episode summary if you want the Full picture, but here's the key component:

in that episode, there's a woman impersonating trudy (monk's wife who's been dead for 8 [?] years [she was killed by a car bomb]) with uncanny accuracy. obviously, then, a crucial part of the plot is monk determining whether or not that woman is actually trudy and if she faked her death as natalie (monk's assistant) overheard her claim, or if she's just in disguise (and ergo why she would be impersonating trudy in the first place).

so i watched this ep and said, oh my god, i can make a past!samriley fic out of this. it would be canon-compliant(ish), no need for a monk!au or anything lol, where bucky is the one to overhear a man say he's riley and that he faked his death all those years ago. cue bucky talking to sarah, probably, about if there's any way riley could have survived the rpg, etc. etc., stuff happens, and eventually they have to tell sam what's going on. it would follow the gist of the Monk episode, though obviously without the detective/crime show aspects (i'd probably replace that with some military-related subplot), and there would be beautiful samriley angst where sam grapples with:

a) is riley alive?

b) if riley's alive, why wouldn't he have contacted sam?

c) if riley's not alive, who would want to impersonate him and why?

i would absolutely include a scene where sam goes by himself to riley's grave like monk went to trudy's, and it's there he realizes no, that man can't be riley. riley isn't alive.

"how did you know? at the cemetery, how did you know that man wasn't riley?" bucky would ask him, probably more than once throughout the story, and it's not until the end of the fic that sam explains how he knew.

"i knew," sam would say quietly, hands in his pockets, "because it still hurt. standing there, standing in front of his grave..." he'd exhale slowly. "it still hurt."

Kisses as a promise!!!

🥺🥺🥺 (a different version of that soft scene from Endgame)

"Don't...go."

The voice was barely a whisper. If it wasn't for the room's palpable, suffocating silence — interrupted only by the low buzz of the air conditing unit on the ceiling — Rhodey would've missed it altogether. He sighed in the doorway; he had hoped to slip away unnoticed, knowing it would've made the task at hand easier.

"Please, Rhodey. It's a suicide mission."

The laboured breathing made Rhodey turn. Tony lay on the bed, his back propped up by the pillows Rhodey had adjusted moments earlier, knowing it'd give relief to his friend's troubled back. He still looked deathly pale; being stranded in space with dwindling supplies had reduced him to skin and bones while the enormity of their defeat pooled into the pleading, downcast brown eyes.

Rhodey shuffled forward. Leaning down, he pressed his lips to Tony's, cold and chapped; a featherlight kiss that held an entire world — their world — in its grip, frozen in time and space. Tony whined when Rhodey pulled away. Desperation bubbled in his eyes, threatening to fall as tears.

"Tony, I'll come back. I always do," Rhodey said, even as the words rang hollow in his ears. He knew Tony was right. Facing Thanos again, after the dust from the previous catastrophe had barely settled, was a fool's gambit. But helplessness in the face of overwhelming chaos and despair left them with little choice.

Rhodey kissed him again and combed his fingers through Tony's matted, overgrown hair — that man needed a shower once he could stand straight for five minutes without passing out.

"Listen to me, Tones, I want you to rest. I want you to get better, okay? Because when I come back, and I am coming back, we're going to have a long talk about you running off into space without back up." When Tony looked away, defiant even in his weakest moment, Rhodey cupped his chin with a gentle tilt until their eyes met. "I am coming back, you hold on to that, you hear me?"

Rhodey kissed Tony again, because he could — because his best friend was no longer lost, adrift in space without a way back. His best friend was home, he had come back, and Rhodey was prepared to face Thanos a thousand times over to protect Tony.

james looks at him head on, shoulders slumped and eyes bleak, "yes incidents, sam. there's no other word for what's been happening!" 

for a brief moment, all the lights in the house visibly flicker. james does not appear to react to this phenomenon in any way.

"and i'm not going to sit here and run through them all, because then we'd be sitting here on our asses all damn day plus you already know exactly what i'm talking about; did you know ms madeline has nightmares of you screaming yourself hoarse?"

sam shuts his eyes in an attempt to hide from the rose red lines that have begun to rise and curl on the walls, pulsing rhythmically. he tries to ignore the phantom throb and sting of vocal chords that have long since recovered from that particular ordeal.

"…no. no, i didn't," he answers somewhat hoarsely, mentally making a plan to go across the street and pay madeline a visit; he hasn't seen her since that horrific early morning after all, and he knows he must've scared her to death.

he hears a sigh behind his eye lids, "i'd be surprised if you did. i'm not going to lie to you, i'm not the only one who's concerned. you would not believe how many of our neighbors ask about you, ask me what they can do for you, to ease whatever you're going through. you would not believe how much it pains me when i see their faces fall because i can't give them an answer."

even if sam could fix the sudden hurt in his throat there's nothing he could say to that. so he sits, he waits, clenches and unclenches his hands. who knows how long james has been bottling this up anyway, he deserves to get some of it out.

there's a chilled hand placed on the back of his neck, light as a cloud, before it puts the slightest pressure on him. he allows the chilly pressure to guide him to the crook of jaime's neck, and it soon occurs to sam that the reason his face is wet isn't because james is sweating or anything, but because sam himself is silently crying.

a soothing, repetitive motion; jamie is rocking them both back in forth together. "god, i'm not trying to guilt trip you. this sounds like the biggest guilt trip in the fucking world, even to me, but you have to know that i think that if things keep going the way they are it's not going to end well for you!"

"and sam you know. you know…i can't do it again. i can't do that, again. i've done it five times already, sammy. don't make me have to go through it again. please. i'm begging."

sam doesn't say anything, his throat hurts, god it hurts so much that it has him seriously rethinking that particular recovery. but, he nods his head vigorously from where it rests in the crook of his jaime's neck; he made a promise, and he still intends to damn well keep it.

thank you so much @buckyrhodey for the tag!! miss youu 💕

idk what were my last stories so i went deep for these hehe, mostly a mix of published and wips

1. A Better Starry Night (sam/bucky ; horror)

The sky was silent. There’s a thundering crack from down the horizon, heads turning down by the mountainside. It seems to be approaching — faster now.

2. the sweetest tragedy (sam/bucky; mcd) - def a fave of mine!

It's a goddamn tragedy, it's what it is. You love him but he's leaving, high on euphoria with a rank under his name, you're going to lose him in every universe and there's nothing you could do about it.

3. to cease intimacy (sam/bucky ; first date) - this makes me yearn till this day

It's that moment when your heart hitched in your throat and you're unable to breathe freely, feeling asphyxiation nipping at your veins, it’s like you know that your heart was too full of emotion to function right, too much love that sends your heart running a marathon. It was a good feeling, a blissful moment, yet there was that betrayal within it that makes you question your feelings over and over again because there’s that one question running through your head: “Why is it him?” but it’s all good, everything’s peachy-keen because you don’t have to hide it anymore — you had to show it now, however, and that was a wave of dread coming all at once.

4. hug infinitely (sam/bucky ; protective!bucky)

It’s only a fact that you can’t protect who you love from every little inconvenient thing. You can’t fix every crack in the world just so you could breathe easy thinking your love wouldn’t trip. You also can’t make the sun go away so your love can’t get a sunburn on your nice little beach date. It’s miserable thinking that the world just has it’s ways to hurt your love, but that’s reality, and to have it bother you so much, it’s only a tragedy in three acts.

5. falling in love against gravity (sam/bucky ; sam centric) - i loved exploring sam’s experience with flying in this one

Falling was a violent act. You’ll trust the fall with intent so dangerous it’s almost like a kiss with death, and you’ll love it. You’ll love how you can fall backward and have a night with death. You’ll love how you could close your eyes and never open them again. Yet, you fly instead somehow. You fall then you fly, defying the law of gravity.

6. pine (wip name) (sam/bucky/steve ; thirst tweet acc)

The thing is, it didn't happen suddenly at all. They had mulled it all over, understood the risks and consequences. It's dangerous work, and there's no assurance that they'll make it out with their dignity, but what the hell. The 21st century needed more of Captain America and the Winter Soldier pining over the Falcon; let them be.

7. (wip name after mutual heh) (sam/bucky)

Little boys growing up in grand houses and ocean views are the kind of boys who would like adventure, the kind of boys who would yearn for the woods, and cozy little cabins in farms. Instead, December comes and they grow up smoking like chimneys in winter. Yes, little boys grow up and move into cities with blinking white lights, but they always come back seeking adventure.

8. death speaks (they called it kindness) (sam/bucky ; sam centric ; wip)

They say death aches like a motherfucker. Sam Wilson presses on it like a bruise, wanting to feel something before the sensation leaves his senses. He’ll ache for it, flawlessly manipulating it, and sooner or later, he’ll resurface and regret every single bruise he’d made. They say death licks all the wounds of the forgotten faces away, but to Sam, it’s just unforgivable.

9. milkshakes in two (sam/steve/bucky ; stucky fight for sams luv ; wip)

Truth is, love comes in many forms, but the form of a fist fight at a parking lot in three in the goddamn morning, like a modern-day Achilles versus Hector except they both leave with a cut under the eye and a broken nose instead of, you know, a bloody corpse, is just as romantic as leaving cute sticky notes around the house for them to see. It’s even more romantic if they noticed it, but sometimes a romantic gesture such as a fist fight between two supersoldiers need to tilt towards the murder part of Troy before a certain Falcon could notice.

10. field of flowers (sam/bucky fatws drabble 1x03)

When you look into Sam Wilson’s eyes, maybe you might see something surreal. Maybe something you shouldn’t have seen in the first place. After all, the eyes are the window to the soul, wouldn’t it be quite intrusive to look at him so bare?

(yall know my damn first lines are chunky paragraphs long so more below 🥰 )

11. love sweeter than candy, cavities to the heart (sam/bucky) 

It’s not that Sam despised the idea of it, in fact, he breathes it in like cocaine, feeling the rush and instant fall of his senses, and maybe it’s not actually drugs to him but maybe something milder, like, a kiss, one that is so slow and soft that it makes him scream at the deprivation, making himself aware of how desperate he just was about touch, literally any sort of touch, but then again, it’s Sam we’re talking about; suppressed and no-nonsense, he couldn’t possibly want something so good like some cliche grand romantic gesture that is too cheesy for its own good, and maybe it’s for the best that he keeps quiet about this want because it’s not like he gets it every day.

12. Partners (sam/bucky)

It was in the bathroom of a safe house that Sam Wilson finds himself bandaging himself up. There was a small gash on his forearm from the afternoon before; it ran down from below his shoulder blade to above his elbow, but it wasn’t as deep as it should be, just looking quite raw but wouldn’t need any serious stitching.  He’s been washing the same spot with clean water from the faucet for the past solid half hour, the sound of water gushing echoing in the tiny bathroom.

13.  oranges in october (sam/bucky) - this one!! this!!

You’d think that just because he had wings and he flies, that makes him an Icarus. Icarus fell to his death. He did not resurface, he did not live beyond that power. Sam Wilson soared high into the missiles of war and came back battered and red, dripping love and death as he stands in the aftermath of it all. You think he was an Icarus when he was actually Apollo. Anyone who gets close to him falls to the ocean waves, then sooner than later, he’s left singing eulogies as his heart rattles in a cage.

14.  It Rains Every April 10th (sam/bucky; mcd) - this too! ive been told by someone that this was the most accurate desc of depression theyve seen

Depression hits like a wave on a cliffside — sometimes you see it coming, sometimes you didn’t see it, and sometimes you just let it happen. It sometimes gnaws at your skin, always there, but more of a ghostly hand hovering over you; there’s that presence but you think you don’t have enough proof to prove it existed. Times like these you try your best to move but you become unmotivated, absolutely immobile except for the moments your body decides to exhaust itself for unrelated things you shouldn’t be doing. It takes a toll on you you wouldn’t even realize, and even then, who else realized it? You’re just tired. You don’t cry. You’re just tired.

15. to hold dear (sam/bucky)

Bucky Barnes didn’t want a lot of things. He’s got a really low bar of standards now, even just waking up without a threat on his life counts as a win. He doesn’t even mind if there wasn’t any more soap in the bathroom; he’s just glad he’s got a shower in the first place. Breakfast? God, he’s just glad that he could walk around a house with his guard let down.

i have no more (:

“Please don’t mention this to Steve, he doesn’t need to know about this right now.”

“No fucking shit, I won’t be telling Steve. Do you know how embarrassing this is? Having had sex with his best friend who was an assassin under the control of HYDRA and pretending I didn’t know you this whole time?”

( Sam and Bucky met in passing in Miami in 2012, had an amazing one night stand and parted ways. four years later Sam finds himself in an old beatle car going on the run for him and Steve.)

Loki watching himself die because he chose a dagger instead of magic: 😮

Loki summoning a dagger two secs later: I learned nothing from this

no you dont understand it drives me INSANE how little magic he uses in this show,,,,like he's 1000 something years old and its well established that he's a proficient magic-user,,,magic for Loki is like Mjolnir is for Thor,,,,imagine if Thor just kept Mjolnir down next to him and only used it occassionally,,,,im not saying Loki shouldn't know how to fight but it's so baffling to me that magic is used as an afterthought when in reality magic should be Loki's first instinct

like,,,after 1000 years you'd think magic came as easy to him as breathing, its instinctive to reach for his magic -- SO WHY DOES HE KEEP USING HIS FISTS INSTEAD WTF

Tony Stark Flash Bingo June, pt. 1

Yes, my brain gifted me with another all-in-one bingo card fill. lol. This one is set in an MCU version of a timeline we know from just one frame in just one comic, but I fell in love with it instantly.

It's Earth-57289, which I call the Rhodes Labs verse (not to be confused with @rhodeslabs. Yoo hoo! I promised to tag you when I started posting this, boo!) where Rhodey is scientist, genius and business tycoon, and Tony is his employee quietly pining behind his back.

Teen rating is as usual for some cussing.

The story is set in Philly, Rhodey's hometown in the comics, and the title is taken from a lovely little poem by alma_perpetua on instagram. (Don't ask me about the Supernatural fandom's conspiracy theory about that.)

Title: Loving You Never Felt Like Falling, chapter 1

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32077243 Card Number: 008 Name of Participant: deehellcat Square Number/Name: picnic Rating: teen for a few cuss words Pairing: pre-rhodeytony, background peppernat Warning/Major Tags: Earth-57289, Rhodes Labs International, Alternate Universe – sort of role reversal, Awesome James "Rhodey" Rhodes, Tony Stark Needs a Hug Summary: Wealthy science whiz James Rhodes meets Army vet and recovering alcoholic Tony Stark, and neither of their lives will ever be the same, they just don't know it yet.

Wait, ok, how do you feel about James leaving the show?

honestly i think it's a very fulfilling arc for him!! my own personal feelings about James and Kara and how they could've been the over-arching lovestory in Supergirl a la Olicity and Westallen aside,,,I do think they did justice to his character and gave him a really nice exit

I will say though, I knew he was going to be leaving the minute they introduced his sister, and I'm very mad that Kelly is brought in to replace James, like there's some sort of limit on the amount of black characters they can have on the show. Like it was very obvious that Kelly was being introduced because they were writing James out of the show, and that left a bitter taste in my mouth -- and I took longer to warm up to Kelly because of it

rhodey and carol spent a period of time trying to outdo one another in arranging over-the-top dates. rhodey designed an underwater ship to bring carol down to the bottom of the challenger deep for dinner. carol, in turn, took him for a rendezvous to the dark side of the moon. tony thought it was ridiculous but being the chaotic best friend that he was, he egged them on. so rhodey brought her for a picnic at idunn's orchard on asgard (thor was happy to oblige) while carol dragged rhodey to a 24-hour rave at knowhere (rocket got her tix because he owed her).

Rhodey

❤️❤️❤️

One thing I came up with for them that turned out to be kinda canon or at least has canon evidence to support it

that rhodey is at least 200 times more chaotic than tony, but because he is a colonel and hasn't had his bare ass plastered all over the tabloids, people find it incredibly hard to accept he'd do some of the outrageous shit tony gets accused of. my only canon evidence is the way rhodey smirked in iron man 2 during the senate hearing as he watched tony make an ass of justin hammer and that hydra senator. rhodey being 200 times more interesting as a person than tony is a hill i will always choose to die on

One thing I came up with for them that I refuse to change no matter how OOC it may seem

rhodey programmed U to put motor oil into tony's shakes as a joke in college and since tony never bothered to check why his beloved bot insisted on putting motor oil in his smoothies, rhodey let him go on thinking it was just a quirky glitch — also because when tony does realise it, at the ripe old age of 60, he looks so outraged that rhodey's on the floor howling with laughter.

Their government assigned theme song

this i am not sure 🤔

Something about them barely explored in canon that I expanded on

rhodey's relationship with lila. the comics gave us crumbs while the mcu still ignores the fact that rhodey has a life outside being tony's best friend and war machine. rhodey and lila have always been close and she goes to him first with all of her problems instead of her parents — she came out to him first, she called him when a girl broke her heart in college, she ran away from home in philly once only to end up outside his apartment in new york. one reason why rhodey put on the suit and became war machine was because he wanted to keep the world safe and protect his niece at all costs.

3 characters from another media that helped inspire my shaping of them

it's mostly a combination of don's long body of works and a whole lot of tropes from well-written books and tv shows/movies i have read/watched.

Did I permanently remove any unfavourable canon elements from their character/setting

yep that gross moment the clown brigade added to avengers endgame. rhodey would never make fat jokes nor would he ever mock someone's trauma — man's been in the air force before becoming war machine, he has seen and experienced first hand trauma and ptsd. he'd never joke about that, he would've sat thor down and remind him that the only person to blame for the state of the universe was thanos.

massive purposeful ooc misinterpretation of a canon character
