How the Saving Private Ryan Cast Launched a New Generation of Stars
https://ift.tt/3azDVUj
This article contains spoilers for Saving Private Ryan.
Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan (1998) is known for a number of things: the gut-wrenching, visceral terror of its battle scenes (especially the opening landing at Omaha Beach), the shocking way in which bodies are torn to pieces during the course of those battles, the attention to period detail, and a powerful performance by Tom Hanks that rates as one of his finest.
But one thing that the film may not be as widely recognized for is the lineup of young actors who played members of Capt. John Miller’s (Hanks) squad, or soldiers they met along the way as they searched throughout Normandy for the missing Pvt. James Francis Ryan. From Matt Damon to Vin Diesel, Spielberg recruited relatively new faces who were all, in one way or another, either launching their careers outright or just starting to make their mark on Hollywood.
Saving Private Ryan is now considered one of the greatest war movies of all time. Part of that is due to its incredible realism, part of that is due to the skilled direction by Spielberg at the top of his game, and no doubt part of it is thanks to the work of its youthful cast. Let’s look back at who those actors were then, and what they went on to accomplish afterward.
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
DreamWorks
Matt Damon (Private James Francis Ryan)
Matt Damon was largely unknown until around 1996 when he gained some good critical notices for his role in Courage Under Fire. At the same time, he and childhood pal Ben Affleck got to finally see their screenplay Good Will Hunting filmed, with Damon in the title role. The movie was in rehearsals in Boston when Steven Spielberg — who was shooting some scenes for Amistad there — stopped by the set to visit with Robin Williams, who introduced Spielberg to Damon. That led to Damon getting the title role in Saving Private Ryan. He’s the young soldier than Tom Hanks and company are trying to find — and who must “earn” his ticket home.
By the time Ryan came out in mid-1998, Damon had gone from unknown to star thanks to the success of Good Will Hunting (which arrived in December 1997), and his and Affleck’s Oscar win for Best Original Screenplay instantly became the stuff of award season legend. Damon has stayed a superstar ever since, starring in the Bourne and Ocean’s Eleven franchises, along with other hits like The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Departed, True Grit, Contagion, The Martian, and Ford vs. Ferrari. Next up for Damon is in Stillwater and reteams with Affleck as co-writers and stars in Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel, both due out later this year.
DreamWorks
Edward Burns (Private Richard Reiben)
Ed Burns had already garnered some attention before landing the role of the feisty, rebellious Pvt. Reiben, one of the few members of Miller’s squad to survive the film. He wrote, produced, directed, and starred in two independent features, The Brothers McMullen and She’s The One, with McMullen in particular earning acclaim and awards (including an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature).
Reiben was Burns’ first role in a major Hollywood production, and he followed that up with parts in films like 15 Minutes (2001), Confidence (2003), Life or Something Like It (2002, and the notoriously bad sci-fi thriller, A Sound of Thunder (2005). He also continued to make his own pictures, including No Looking Back (1998), Ash Wednesday (2002), Newlyweds (2011) and Beneath the Blue Suburban Skies (2019), while also creating, directing and starring in a TV series called Public Morals (2015) that lasted for one season on TNT. Not exactly a household name, Burns has nevertheless remained active and prolific.
DreamWorks
Vin Diesel (Private Adrian Caparzo)
Before being cast as Pvt. Caparzo — the first member of Miller’s squad to die while searching for Ryan — the only credits Vin Diesel had to his name were a short film called Multi-Facial, an uncredited walk-on as an orderly in 1990’s Awakenings, and the tiny 1997 indie release Strays, a semi-autobiographical piece which Diesel wrote, directed, and starred in himself. He was, for all intents and purposes, a complete unknown when he was gunned down by a German sniper in a memorably tragic scene early on in Saving Private Ryan.
Things happened quickly for Diesel after that, as he landed the title voice in The Iron Giant (1999) and launched two franchises back to back: in 2000 he introduced the world to the space criminal Riddick in Pitch Black while 2001 brought the film The Fast and the Furious, not to mention Diesel’s signature character, Dominic Toretto. While his other films since have had varying degrees of success, the Fast and Furious series has turned into one of the biggest box office behemoths of the past decade, with F9 coming this summer. Diesel has also played in the world of comic book movies, voicing Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and launching his own superhero film venture with last year’s Bloodshot.
DreamWorks
Paul Giamatti (Sergeant William Hill)
The same sequence that features the death of Vin Diesel’s character also introduces the sardonic, war-weary Sgt. William Hill, played by Paul Giamatti, whose inadvertent collapse of a wall leads to a tense standoff with a hidden group of German soldiers. Before Ryan, Giamatti had bounced around in small film and TV parts for the early part of the ’90s, scoring his breakout role in the 1997 Howard Stern biopic, Private Parts, as radio station program director Kenny “Pig Vomit” Rushton.
After Ryan, Giamatti continued to work steadily and garner more acclaim for outstanding performances in films like Man on the Moon, American Splendor, and Sideways, a movie for which we’re still angry that Giamatti did not receive an Academy Award nomination. He did earn one the following year for his supporting role in Cinderella Man and has continued as one of today’s best working actors in movies like Barney’s Version, Win Win, The Ides of March, 12 Years a Slave, and Private Life, along with his exemplary starring work in TV on John Adams and Billions. He even won an Emmy for playing the United States’ second president.
DreamWorks
Nathan Fillion (Private James Frederick Ryan)
He’s only onscreen for a few minutes, but Nathan Fillion makes a distinct impression as the “wrong” Pvt. Ryan, a soldier with nearly the same name whom Miller and his men come across — only to realize that they have to keep looking. The Canadian-born Fillion first scored some attention in the mid-1990s as Joey Buchanan on the daytime soap One Life to Live (he returned briefly in 2007). Aside from an obscure 1994 film called Strange and Rich, Saving Private Ryan was for all intents and purposes his major motion picture debut.

Movies
Saving Private Ryan: The Real History That Inspired the WW2 Movie
By David Crow
Since then, Fillion has worked steadily with his biggest successes coming on TV and in the world of geek culture, where he remains a fan favorite. The Joss Whedon-created sci-fi series Firefly didn’t even last one full season between 2001 and 2002, but has become a cult classic and spawned the movie Serenity (2005). Fillion’s later series, Castle and the currently airing The Rookie, have proven more durable. His other notable film and TV credits include James Gunn’s Slither, Desperate Housewives, Modern Family, Santa Clarita Diet, and Monsters University, while his voice work has also included a recurring role as Green Lantern/Hal Jordan in a number of DC animated films. Next up: more comics-related fun as Floyd Belkin/TDK in Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, and the voice of Wonder Man in Hulu and Marvel’s animated M.O.D.O.K.
DreamWorks
Jeremy Davies (Corporal Timothy Upham)
Jeremy Davies is unforgettable as the terrified, cowardly Cpl. Upham, a nerdy translator who is brought on the mission for his linguistic skills and can only stand paralyzed paralyzed with fear as his fellow soldier Mellish is stabbed to death just up a flight of stairs by a Nazi. Like many of his castmates, Davies kicked around in small acting jobs before garnering acclaim in the 1994 black comedy Spanking the Monkey, which also marked the directing debut of David O. Russell.
Saving Private Ryan was his next big attention-getter and cemented his position as one of the more quirky and compelling character actors in film and TV. Following Ryan, Davies worked in films like Ravenous, Solaris, Secretary, and Rescue Dawn, but has also found success on the small screen in series like Lost, Sleepy Hollow, and Justified. He’s also appeared as Dr. John Deegan in the “Elseworlds” arc of the Arrowverse shows The Flash, Supergirl, and Arrow. We’ll see him next in Scott Derrickson’s The Black Phone, based on a story by Joe Hill.
DreamWorks
Giovanni Ribisi (Medic Irwin Wade)
Acting since he was a young child, Giovanni Ribisi already had a substantial career under his belt before playing the doomed medic Wade in Spielberg’s powerful war epic. He had recurring roles in the late 1980s and early 1990s on shows like My Two Dads and The Wonder Years while guesting on a number of other series as well. In the latter half of the ‘90s, he landed parts in movies like That Thing You Do!, Lost Highway, and The Postman, with Ryan easily his highest-profile big screen effort during that time.
After that, Ribisi continued to do character work in movies like Gone in 60 Seconds, Lost in Translation, Cold Mountain, and Public Enemies, before landing the part of the villainous corporate stooge Parker Selfridge in James Cameron’s massively successful and creatively groundbreaking Avatar (2009). He’ll return in Cameron’s upcoming Avatar sequels and has kept busy on the big and small screens, most recently finishing up a three-season run in the title role of the Amazon series Sneaky Pete (fun fact: Sneaky Pete was co-created by Bryan Cranston, who also has a small role in Ryan as one-armed War Department Col. Bryce).
DreamWorks
Barry Pepper (Private Daniel Jackson)
Hailing like Nathan Fillion from Canada, Barry Pepper had just a handful of small credits to his name when he landed the role of the God-fearing but lethal sniper Jackson in Saving Private Ryan. Jackson is perhaps the deadliest weapon in Capt. Miller’s arsenal, although he is eventually killed along with Miller and most of the others during the film’s climactic defense of the bridge in the shattered town of Ramelle.
Pepper probably remains best known for his portrayal of Jackson, but he scored notable roles soon after that in The Green Mile (1999), the TV movie 61* (2001) as baseball legend Roger Maris, and Spike Lee’s 25th Hour (2002). He also appeared in the starring role of 2000’s disastrous Battlefield Earth with John Travolta. Pepper’s recent film work has included roles in The Maze Runner franchise and the sleeper horror hit Crawl (2019).
DreamWorks
Adam Goldberg (Private Stanley Mellish)
“Juden,” says Pvt. Stanley Mellish, pointing to himself and the Jewish Star of David he wears around his neck as a stream of German POWs is marched past him. It’s a small but powerful moment in Saving Private Ryan for the defiant, wisecracking Mellish, who’s there to wipe out as many Nazis as he can. In the movie’s climactic battle, he bravely and viciously fights hand to hand with a German soldier before the latter sinks a knife slowly into his chest in one of the film’s most intensely horrifying moments.
Adam Goldberg had already appeared in a number of notable films before Ryan, including Billy Crystal’s Mr. Saturday Night (Goldberg’s 1992 debut), Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused (1993), John Singleton’s Higher Learning (1995), and the cult horror classic The Prophecy (1995). Mellish remains perhaps his most famed role, but other standouts like A Beautiful Mind (2001), Déjà Vu (2006), and Zodiac (2007) dot his filmography. He’s guested frequently on TV as well and currently has a regular role as Harry Keshegian opposite Queen Latifah on The Equalizer. He’s also directed three features of his own, recorded four albums of his own music, and has exhibited his work as a photographer.

Nintendo anon: I haven’t read much sci-fi/fantasy recently (any suggestion?) but I really liked The Companion (Katie M Flynn), Dune (Frank Herbert), Oryx and Crake (Margaret Atwood), Station 11 (Emily St. John Mandel) and Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury). For crime/mistery I loved The Perfect Spy (John Le Carré), American Spy (Lauren Wilkinson), The Eyes of Darkness (Dean Koontz), Wall of Silence (Tracy Buchanan), The Talented Mr. Ripley (Patricia Highsmith), The Silent Patient - Part 1

Oooh thank you for all the recommendations! I really appreciate them! For right now I’m still busy with assignments but I’ll be done the semester soon, so having these as options is awesome! 
Thanks :) If you want a rec from me, I’m currently reading Good Omens! It’s really cool so far!!

Oh Baby, Oh Baby
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x reader
Synopsis: (6.2k wc) As a new recruit, y/n isn’t allowed to go on all the missions yet. To make matters worse, they left behind another, someone that she had despised ever since she first stepped foot in the compound - James Buchanan Barnes.
Warnings: fluff, mentions of smut, enemies to lovers
masterlist
Hey, y’all! Thank you so much for all of the love you gave my first one-shot, Remember Me you guys are unbelievably kind. Here is a Bucky fic for y’all. I am open to writing pretty much any marvel character so send a request of a story you would wanna see :)
Tumblr media
DAY 1
This couldn’t be happening. Why was this happening? Y/n knew she was ready. She needed to go on this mission with the rest of the Avengers, she didn’t care about what would become of her.
“I don’t get it, Steve, I’m ready!” Y/n exclaimed. She crossed her hands, making her way around the kitchen island to better yell at the Avenger.
“ Y/n, you’re still new,” Steve began. “You need to train more before-“
“I’ve been here for almost a year,” she pleaded with him. “I’m ready for this I need to go with you guys!”
“Listen up, Ripley,” said Tony, standing up from his place on the couch. Ripley was the name Tony gave her when she arrived at Avengers Compound because she mentioned once that she liked the movie Alien. It greatly upset her but she also knew that no amount of pleading would get him to stop. He walked over to her, hesitantly putting a hand on her shoulder.
“We understand you wanna get revenge on the people that wronged you but you can’t do that from a grave. Let us handle it right now and we promise next time you’ll come.”
“Tony, you said these people might actually know where he is I have to be there!”
“We just don’t want you to get hurt,” Natasha said, still sitting on the couch with her arms crossed.
“So instead you’re leaving me home alone in the compound for five days.”
“You won’t be alone,” said Steve. “Bucky is stay behind-“ Y/n scoffed before he could finish his sentence. “His deprogramming isn’t done yet it's not safe for him in the field.”
She shook her head. “This is why you guys didn’t tell me until the day you were leaving right? That you were gonna leave me alone in compound with him.”
“He’s my best friend, Y/n. He’s not the man Hydra made him out to be.”
“All right, enough chit-chat,” Tony interrupted. “We gotta get to the jet.”
Everyone stood up, waving goodbye to Y/n as they left the room, Steve staying behind for one more moment. “I thought I was your best friend,” she said quietly, crossing her arms.
Ever since arriving at the compound, Steve had been the one she was closest to. He helped her through her own nightmares, knowing what it was like to return to civilian life after such a long time.
“You are, Y/n. But Bucky has been with me since we were kids. When I found out he was alive…I couldn’t abandon him. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have two best friends right? I just wished you too would get along.”
Y/n looked down at her feet, unsure of what to say. Slowly, she lifted her head again. A figure caught her eye from behind Steve’s shoulder. He followed her eyes, turning to see the former hydra assassin standing in the doorway.
“Hey Buck, we were just leaving,” Steve said to him.
“All of you?” Bucky asked, leaning against the frame.
“ Y/n is staying behind. Don’t worry, we’ll only be gone for five days.” Steve walked towards him, patting him on the shoulder before leaving the two alone in the kitchen.
Silence filled the air, neither of them moving to be the first to speak. Bucky made his way into the kitchen, moving closer to her. Y/n didn’t know what he was doing as he stood only two feet away.
In a low growl, he said, “Move, Sunshine.”
She rolled her eyes stepping a foot out of the way. “Don’t call me Sunshine,” she said, watching as he walked over to the fridge and opened the door.
“I can call you whatever I want, Sunshine.”
He knew it pissed her off. From her first encounter with him, he had been this arrogant, stuck-up old man. She didn’t know what Rogers what talking about. All the happy stories he told her, the kindness he showed to him; Y/n didn’t believe that side of Bucky could exist.
“I would prefer if you called me by name. Or should I start calling you Old Sport?”
He closed the fridge and made direct eye contact with her. His brows scrunched and she knew that the name pissed him off. But as if the last second of frustration hadn’t happened, he look away, setting the pitcher of water on the table.
“Call me whatever you want Sunshine,” he said. “Just don’t walk around in those shorts anymore, too tiny.”
She looked down at the shorts she was wearing. They were very short, she had to give Bucky that, but she liked them that way. The way they clung to her body made her feel safe in a place that was still kind of foreign to her.
She sighed, not wanting to deal with his games anymore. Y/n walked out, back towards her room. This was going to be a long five days.
Tumblr media
DAY 2
Just one more minute, that’s all she needed. One of the perks of living at Avengers compound was the unlimited amount of training equipment. As she finally hit the last mile of her run, Y/n got off the treadmill, ready to work on building up the muscle. As she turned, stepping off the machine, she saw Bucky in the doorway.
He gave her a smirk, “Morning Sunshine,” he said.
“Morning Old Sport,” she said with a fake smile back.
She watched as he walked over to the treadmill she had just gotten off of. He scoffed. “Just ten miles? I thought you could do more than that, Sunshine.”
“It was a warm-up if you must know. I bet I could run more than you.”
“I think you’re forgetting I’m a super-soldier.”
“I think you’re forgetting I am too.”
That shut him up. Bucky didn’t know much about Y/n's background, the only encounters he had with her more than likely ended in screaming matches. But what he did know was that somehow, at some point, she had gotten the serum as well. He stared back at her, unsure of what to say.
Y/n smirked. “That’s what I thought.”
She turned back towards the bench press, hearing the sound of the treadmill turning on behind her. Sharing the gym with him wasn’t the worst thing in the world, but she could certainly think of better things.
As she sat down on the bench, examining the weights before deciding to pick up a 300 pound one. Lifting it up like it was nothing, she took one last look at Bucky. He had started his run, moving at a steady pace without the hint of fatigue. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Y/n looking at him, with a smirk, he quickened the pace, running faster and faster.
Y/n rolled her eyes. Of course, he was trying to show off. Well, two could play at that game. She put down the 300-pound weight, opting to go for the 800 one instead. She laid down on the bench and began to push. Almost effortlessly, she moved the weights up and down. Rep after rep she moved, not a hint of exhaustion on her face.
She could feel a pair of eyes on her from across the room. Bucky looked over again, scoffing before turning up the speed on the treadmill again, going into a full sprint. Panting, he swayed his arms in long motions, gaining more momentum. Y/n sat up again at the sound of heavier footsteps. She had to top him, she didn’t know why it was so important to her that she did but now it was her mission.
Furrowing her eyebrows, she dropped the weights, moving to grab the 15000-pound ones. Laying back down, she pressed with all her might. Slowly, the weights moved up and down. She grunted as she pushed on them, it had been a while since she bench pressed and that time off was really getting to her.
Panting, she pushed the weights back up, holding them above her. She peeled her eyes away from the weights to look at Bucky who was still running, now at almost full speed. It was only a second, but that was enough to make her lose her balance. The weight came crashing down on Y/n's chest, sending pain throughout her torso.
“Argh!” she yelled out.
She tried to push the weight off her chest but it was no use. She pushed and pushed and pushed before suddenly gasping for air. The pressure on her chest lifted as she took in a deep breath.
Y/n tried to sit up before feeling a warm hand on her back help her. When she looked up, a very concerned Bucky stood before her.
“Hey,” Bucky said cautiously, a hand still pressed to her back. “Are you okay?”
Y/n took in another breath and nodded. “Thanks,” she mustered out.
He took a step back, panting as well. When she looked up at him, she could see the fear that was slowly washing away. Why did he look so concerned? He had hated her since the moment he arrived at the compound, the day that Steve came back with his best friend from the 1940s.
“Wow, you genuinely care for me Barnes,” Y/n said sarcastically.
Bucky straightened his posture, his brooding face back in position. “I don’t,” he insisted. “Just didn’t want anyone to think I’m the reason you died.”
“Is that right?”
“Yeah, it is. So next time don’t go around lifting weights that you can’t handle.”
“I can handle 1500 pounds, Old Sport. I just didn’t warm up beforehand.”
Bucky rolled his eyes, still breathing heavily. “Sure, Sunshine.” He began to walk away back towards the treadmill.
She didn’t want to end the conversation there, not with him in the lead. “And what about you? Can’t handle how fast you were running?”
He turned back to face her, his hands on his hips. From Y/n's perspective, he looked genuinely pissed off. His t-shirt stuck to his body from his workout, his still slightly long hair pulled into a man bun. Looking her up and down, he didn’t bother to say a word, just turned back towards the treadmill.
She crossed her arms, not sure of what to do. “Well, thanks I guess,” Y/n said, walking out of the room.
She didn’t stop to wait for an answer, but as she passed through the door frame, she swore she could hear him faintly say, anytime.
Tumblr media
DAY 3
The one plus side to having everyone gone is that Y/n could finally watch what she wanted in the theater room. That’s right, a theater room in the compound. When she first arrived at the compound, she spent a lot of time in there, rewatching old movies from her childhood, movies that she missed during her time away. Being a super-soldier was rewarding at times but she would never wish what she went through upon anyone else.
One of the movies that Wanda told her to watch, one that she swore she would love was 10 Things I Hate About You. Wanda was right. She was only about 20 minutes into the movie but boy was it good. Y/n had to admit that this Heath Ledger guy wasn’t all that bad looking either.
As Kat and Bianca argued about their dating lives, there was a sudden light projected on the screen. Y/n turned her head to see a silhouette in the doorway and there were only two options of what it could be. One, the Avengers returned early from their mission or two, it was her not so friendly super-soldier buddy; she knew it was probably the latter.
Bucky came walking down one of the isles sporting a white shirt and a flannel; he looked normal for once. With his hands in his jean pockets, he awkwardly approached her, Y/n paused the movie. “I didn’t know you were in here I was going to watch a movie.”
She raised her shoulders. “Well here I am,” she said.
“I’ll just leave then-“
“Wait!” She said suddenly. Bucky turned back in surprise at her call out to him and to be honest, it surprised her too. “Y-you could watch this with me if you want. I don’t know how much you’ll enjoy it but you’re welcome to stay.”
She watched his eyes as he tried to figure out what he was going to do. It was an absurd proposition, since the moment he arrived he had a distaste for her. She could still remember it like it was yesterday. It was six months after she arrived, finally having time to warm up to the rest of the team.
Before moving into the compound, Steve was the only one she knew. He was the one that found her, who hid out in an abandoned mall with her for two weeks while they waited for his colleagues to arrive. He had become her best friend over those six months, practically inseparable.
Steve had come back from a week-long mission, his long-lost best friend at his side. Hydra was finally gone, and Bucky was no longer the Winter Soldier. He had his first real meal with them that night, watching intensely as Steve and Y/n bickered and laughed with one another.
But after that night, Steve hung out with her less, Bucky always staying away from her unless they had to deal with Avengers business. Every time he entered a room he groaned like he was disgusted by her presence. After long enough she started to hate when he entered a room as well.
But now they were the only ones in the compound. Maybe it was the loneliness kicking in, or maybe he was starting to warm up to the idea that she was a decent person, but something in him responded in a way he never thought he would.
“Okay,” he said softly.
Y/n raised an eyebrow. “Okay?” He nodded again, taking a seat on the opposite end of the row she was seated in. She rolled her eyes, patting a seat closer to her. “Come on, Old Sport. I don’t bite.”
Hesitantly, he stood up again, walking slowly towards her before settling in the seat next to her. They shifted, in their seats not used to being this close to each other. This was awkward. Really awkward. Why did she think this was a good idea. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she felt she owed it to him to make an effort, especially after he helped her in the gym yesterday.
Y/n felt his eyes glancing at her, not brave enough to say anything. Wanting it to be over, she pressed play on the movie. The next scene came by Kat walking out of the store to find Patrick leaning against her car. As they watched the scene, their dynamic seemed very similar.
You’re not afraid of me, are you? Patrick said, sliding closer to Kat.
Why would I be afraid of you? she asked back.
Most people are.
Well, I’m not.
Bucky looked towards Y/n who was staring at the screen, her knees scrunched into her chest. She studied her figure for a minute, so petite yet he knew how powerful her punch could be.
Well maybe you’re not afraid of me, Patrick continued. But I’m sure you’ve thought about me naked huh?
Bucky turned back to the screen to see Kat furrow her brows. Am I that transparent? She said sarcastically. I want you, I need you! Oh baby, oh baby.
Y/n chuckled next to him, making him turn back to look at her. She noticed his stare, instantly quieting down. “Sorry,” she said. “That was a good comeback.”
“It was,” he agreed. “Sounded like something you would day.”
“In your dreams, Barnes.”
The rest of the movie was a little more bearable. The conversation was small and almost nonexistent but it felt like they had broken the ice. Something that they should have done a long time ago. Over the course of the movie, Y/n found herself moving closer to him. Not cuddling-close, but she let less afraid to lean into the arm rest that separated their chairs. She felt that he had realized as well; his breathing became more steady as leaned his head back against the chair.
As the movie came to a close, they both stared absent-mindedly at the credits rolling. She didn’t know what to say, what to do - it felt weird now to be all cold and distant after this. Before she could figure out anything to do, Bucky stood up abruptly. Her eyes followed him as he turned to face her.
“Well, thanks I guess,” he said, also unsure of what to say.
“I’m surprised you enjoyed it,” she said with a smirk.
“Did not.”
“Did too. I saw you try to hide your smile when Patrick gave her that guitar and then end.”
Bucky tried to contain an awkward laugh. He crossed his arms, looking anywhere in the room but at her. “Good night,” he said, walking out of the room.
“Night,” she said back.
What just happened? She thought to herself. Since when could he tolerate her?
Before tonight, she thought it was painful for him to be even in the same room as her. She was surprised by how easy it felt to watch the movie with him. How even though at first it was a little awkward, they fell into an almost comfortable silence.
Maybe he wasn’t so bad after all…
Tumblr media
DAY 4
Man, what Y/n hungry. She had slept in late that day, wanting to just be alone before deciding to go for a jog outside. By the time she got back, it was already dark. The halls were barely visible, the only source of light coming from the kitchen.
Curious, she made her way into the room. The sight she saw was one she never thought she would see. Super-soldier Bucky Barnes was cooking - in an apron. She couldn’t help but snort.
Bucky turned around suddenly, spatula still in hand. “Hey,” he said, still slightly startled.
“Is old man Barnes trying to become the next Gordon Ramsey?” she mocked him.
He tilted his head in confusion. “Who?”
“Never mind,” she said, walking over and sitting on the island stool. “I didn’t know you could cook.”
Turning back to the pan, he shrugged. “Why would you?”
“Good point. You were too busy brooding when I met you to let anyone know anything about you.”
He ignored her comment. She didn’t know why but he tried changing the subject. “Back from a run?” She nodded. “Would you wanna join me for dinner? We are the only ones here.”
Y/n raised an eyebrow. “You want me to join you for dinner? What happened to your whole I’m never coming out of my room while you're around, thing you had going on?”
“I think we passed that point when you made me watch a chick flick with you.”
“I did not force you to watch that with me!”
“What was I supposed to say no?”
“Yes! You could have said no!”
Bucky sighed, not wanting to deal with the conversation once more. “Why don’t you go shower and I’ll finish up dinner, Sunshine.”
Y/n was shocked. Why was he being so calm about this? It was like the last six months of bickering and arguing never happened. “Sure,” she responded calmly before walking out of the room to get ready.
When she came back, the table was already set. Bucky was sitting at the table waiting for her, having changed too into something nicer than gym shorts and a shirt. He looked up, making eye contact with her.
Trying to hide a smile on his lips, he stood up pushing open the other chair for her. She sat down in the offered chair, him pushing it in before returning back to his own seat.
“I never knew you could be such a gentleman,” she commented. He chuckled softly making his way back over to his side of the table.
“I wasn’t raised by animals, Y/n,” he said.
“But you were raised in the early 1900s right? Are you gonna tell chivalry isn’t dead and call me doll?”
“No, I think Sunshine fits you better.”
Her cheeks started to turn red. Why did he have this effect on her? They barely knew each other.
“I still don’t know why you have the super serum or anything about you for that matter,” he said, taking a bite of the chicken piccata on his plate.
“Steve didn’t tell you?”
“I never asked.”
“Well,” she started, cutting into her chicken. “There was a Hydra scientist, Arnim Zola, who helped create the super-soldier serum-“
“I’m aware who Zola is,” Bucky cut her off, knowing that name all too well.
“Did you know he had a son?” He sat back in his chair, eyes wide. No, he didn’t know that. “Ian was only a baby when all that stuff happened to you and Steve. But when he got older, he wanted to continue his father’s legacy. I was friends with him, but, he was using a different last name. We were studying biochemistry together at ESU and I offered to be his test subject - what he didn’t tell me was that he was trying to replicate the super-soldier serum.”
Bucky crossed his arms, listening intently. He didn’t know Zola had a son, how could he? Y/n didn’t look a day older than 28 so that begged the question - how long had she been 28?
“Y/n, what year were you born?” he asked, not being able to resist.
“1945,” she answered. “During the testing, I went into apocalyptic shock. Ian told me that he was going to put me in a cryogenic freezer to prevent the reaction from spreading through my body. I guess at some point while I was in there SHEILD discovered what he was doing and went after him. All I know is that when I woke up, I was a super-soldier and it was 2012.”
“Jesus,” Bucky said.
“Yeah, I know…”
Bucky didn’t know anything about this and he knew Steve cared too much about her to talk about her past without her knowing. He wished that he knew this when he arrived at the compound instead of giving her the cold shoulder. Maybe they would have gotten along instead of forming a mutual hatred for one another.
“Enough about my brooding past,” Y/n said, leaning forward and placing her arms on the table. “Why don’t you tell me when you started liking rom coms.”
Bucky laughed at that, launching into a whole speech about how he wasn’t a fan of cheesy romance movies. The night continued on, both of them making playful banter as they finished their meals. He noticed the way her face lit up when she talked about the stuff she liked, how her nose scrunched when she laughed too hard; he liked noticing the little things.
Y/n didn’t know that he could be this nice. She could tell that event though he had gone through a lot, that suave demeanor from the 40s was still in him. As the meal came to an end, he reached over and grabbed her empty plate before walking over to the sink.
“Here,” she began picking up the glasses. “Let me help you clean up.”
“Oh you don’t have to do that-“ he protested but she did listen.
“No, it’s the least that I can do, to thank you for dinner.”
He watched as she brought the rest of the dirty dinnerware over to the sink. They stood with their shoulders touching, washing the dishes in comfortable silence.
“Okay can I ask you a more personal question?” she asked abruptly.
He turned to look at her for a moment before returning to washing. “I don’t see why not.”
“Why do you hate me?”
Bucky was taken aback by her question, setting down the plate in the sink. “I don’t hate you.”
“Maybe not now but when I arrived you most certainly did. I remember that dinner so clearly, you stared me down the entire night.”
“I-“ Bucky tried to find the words to describe how that night was for him. “That night, you sat and talked to Steve the entire time.”
Y/n furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. “So? He’s one of my best friends.”
“He was my only friend.” She looked up at him, he was trying to focus on washing the dishes. It was clear he didn’t talk about this much with other people. “He was the only one I knew in a foreign place of people who used to want me dead. I guess it felt like I was losing the only person I cared about.”
“Bucky I’m so sorry-“
“It’s not your fault,” he cut her off. “My life was changing so fast I guess I was just trying to hold on to the one thing that had stayed the same. I realized now that I had no right to be jealous.”
“You would stare at me like your eyes were made out of daggers, I didn’t want to enter the same room as you after that.”
“I thought you were afraid of me,” he said softly.
She turned his head, trying to make eye contact with him. “I never was. Why would I be?”
“Most people are.”
“Well I’m not,” she said blatantly trying to reassure him that the past was in the past, that she didn’t care how things were, but how they were now. She saw a smile creep on the corner of his lips. What could be so funny at this moment? “What?” she asked him confused.
“Well maybe you’re not afraid of me,” Bucky started, “But I’m sure you’ve thought about me naked huh?”
Y/n burst out a laugh. Of course, he would make that reference right now. She rolled her eyes as she looked back up at him, knowing exactly what she was going to say.
“Am I that transparent? I want you! I need you! Oh baby, oh baby.”
She couldn’t stop chuckling as she watch the smile take over his face and before she could register what was happening, his lips her on hers. Y/n stumbled back slightly, dropping a sponge into the sink.
His strong arms took hold of her shoulders and she tried to balance, still not processing what was happening. But as soon as the kiss began, it was over. She opened her eyes, looking directly into his. Her mouth was still partly open, wanting to say something to ease the anxious look she saw on his face.
All she could muster saying was “I-“
But Bucky quickly interrupted. “I’m sorry,” he said before quickly walking out of the room without a second thought.
Y/n stumbled forward slightly wanting to go after him, wanting to talk about what had just happened. But then her legs went still, her movement stopped and she was alone in the dim light of the kitchen, left to think about what had just happened and how everything was going to change.
Tumblr media
DAY 5
Y/n hadn’t seen Bucky all day. She went to the gym, he wasn’t there. The kitchen, the theater room - he was nowhere to be found. She needed to talk to him after last night barely getting any sleep as she stared up at her ceiling trying to piece together what had happened.
Out of all ways, these five days were going to go, the last thing she expected was it to end with her kissing Bucky Barnes. It all went down so fast she barely had time to think of it. She could still feel the warm touch of his lips on hers, lingering from the night before. It was like anything she had ever felt before, not that she had much experience over the years.
And she liked it. She surprised herself with that one, she liked kissing Buck Barnes. Y/n always thought he was good looking and with the stories, Steve had told her he was a nice guy and she was happy that she was now starting to see that.
She needed to find him, needed him to know that he shouldn’t be sorry for kissing her, that she wanted to kiss him back. The last place that she hadn’t checked was his own room. Hesitantly, she knocked on the door.
No answers. She knocked again.
“Bucky, it’s me. Can you open up?” she asked. There was shuffling behind the door but no response. She knew he was in there and was going to talk to him no matter what. She wasn’t going to kiss him and then leave this unresolved tension for when everyone gets back that day. “fuck it,” she whispered to herself.
She opened the door anyway, surprised to find it unlocked. Entering the room she immediately found Bucky still in bed. Of course, he sleeps shirtless, she thought herself as she walked closer to him.
“Bucky you can’t stay in bed all day,” she told him, making him groan, not wanting to deal with her.
He sat up against his headboard, still not making eye contact with her as he stared at his sheets. It was clear that he thought last night was a mistake. It was probably just a heat of the moment thing for him and he felt like he ruined their new friendship. Y/n decided to make a decision.
“Listen, Bucky we don’t have to talk about last night okay? I just need someone to talk to. Meet me in the theater room? 15-minutes?” She watched as he nodded his head, still not looking up at her. “Okay,” she continued. “Get dressed I’ll see you soon.”
Almost exactly 15 minutes later Bucky walked into the theater room - she couldn’t help a small smile from forming. He approached her, hands tucked into his jeans as she stood awkwardly. Looking towards the screen, he saw that she had already picked a movie, having it ready for when he came in.
“What chick flick do you have this time?” He said, completely wanting to ignore everything that happened in the last 24 hours.
“The Proposal,” Y/n said. “Another recommendation from Wanda.”
Bucky nodded, taking a seat, leaving one chair in between them. Y/n rolled her eyes at his awkwardness, getting up and moving over next to him. There was a shift in the air as she pressed play, letting Sandra Bullock taken the screen.
The movie went on, neither of them talking as they stared intently at the screen. As Margaret and Andrew crawled into bed together, trying to keep their fake relationship a secret, Bucky felt a weight on his shoulder. He looked over to see Y/n laying her head on his shoulder, laughing along with the funny scene playing on in front of them.
He tried to focus on the movie but with her head on his shoulder, it was becoming hard to focus on anything else. Turning his head slightly he caught a whiff of her shampoo. Lavender, he thought to himself. God, she smells so good. Why did I have to go and kiss her?
Y/n shuffled again next to him, leaning in to his side more. She could feel his bicep through his arm, the one that wasn’t metal and yet it still was extremely defined. His gaze caught her eye, as she turned her head to stare at him.
They locked eyes, looking at each other with intent. She watched as his eyes flickered between her and her lips. His arm tensed beneath her as she leaned closer and closer. Maybe he didn’t want to forget the kiss after all.
Finally she decided to give in. “Fuck it,” she said.
Y/n crashed her lips on to his without a second thought. His arm immediately wrapped around her, inviting the kiss like he had been waiting for it since the moment he stepped in the room. Moving up, she crawled over the arm rest and on to his lap, the movie king forgotten in the background.
Out of breath, Bucky asked, “Thought you said you wanted to forget the kiss?”
“I lied.”
She pulled him back into the kiss. Her hands tangled through his hair as she moved her lips to get a better angle, a deeper angle. He opened his mouth more, letting their touched dance as he gripped her waist harder. He tried to pull her down more, to make them getting closer though it was not physically possible.
Suddenly, there was a booming noise, a burst of light flooded the room. Y/n buried her eyes into the crook of Bucky’s neck before looking up. Steve stood in the doorway, still all beaten up and dirty from the mission. His eyes widened at the scene before him.
“Steve!” She exclaimed. She felt Bucky’s hands grasp her waist and throw to the chair next him. “Y-You’re back!”
“Yeah,” Steve said, staying still in the door.
She fixed her hair, looking back to see Bucky adjusting his shirt. She needed to get out of here, fast. Quickly, she made her way up the alley towards Steve, shuffling past him in the doorway. “Good to see you, Steve,” she said before rushing off to her room.
Her heart was racing. It had only been an hour since Steve walked in on them but it was the only thing that was playing through her mind. Pacing back and forth in her room, she tried to remember the feeling that he had kissing Bucky. His lips on hers, his hands on his waist… it was quickly interrupted but a knock on the door.
“It’s me,” said a voice softly, a voice she had come to know very well over the pass five days.
She opened the door to see a disheveled Bucky walk into her room immediately. She closed the door behind him, turning to see him running his fingers through his hair.
“Hi,” he said.
“Hi,” she said back, not knowing where this conversation would lead. “I’m sorry for running out back there… I just needed to get out I can’t explain it.”
“It’s okay, I get it…” he reassured her. “Steve hounded me with questions when you left.”
“Oh no, what did he say?”
“Just asking how long this has been going on, are we together-“ Y/n bursted out into a laugh, causing Bucky to stop embarrassed. “What’s so funny?”
“Huh?” She asked, starting to regain her composure as she realized what it looked like. “Oh no! I just can’t imagine Steve giving the what are your intentions talk, especially when we don’t know what we are.”
“Oh… I guess that’s funny.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh it just came out,” she apologized, crossing her arms against her chest.
“It’s okay, really.” He moved closer to her, reaching out to touch her arm. “Though while we’re on the apologizing chain I guess I should say that I’m sorry for being a total duck when I arrived at the compound.”
“No, I get it I just wished we had gotten closer before.”
She looked up at him, only a few inches from her face. A smiled tugged at his lips as he held her in his arms. “We’ll, I’m glad I know you now, even if you did hate me back then.”
She smiled back, knowing both of them wouldn’t be able to resist for much longer. “I could never hate you.”
At that, he closed the gap between them, bringing a hand up behind her neck. They mouths intertwined, making Y/n gasp as he moved his kisses down to her neck. She stumbled backwards with him until they hit the bed, falling backwards until he was laying on top of her.
Urgently she reached for the hem of his shirt. Realizing what she was doing, he broke away from her neck to remove his shirt. Y/n dragged her fingers along his stomach, up to his metal arm. She traced over the part where the metal met his skin, Bucky reaching her her shirt.
“So beautiful,” he growled, helping her bring her shirt over her ahead.
Once it was discarded, he attacked back at her neck again. Y/n felt her back arch at the sensation, gripping his back with all her might.
“Let me know if you need to stop okay?” He asked.
Y/n nodded, bringing his mouth back up to meet hers. As their mouths danced, she reached her hands down, trying undo his buckle. Bucky looked downs at what she was doing and, helping her take of his belt and jeans.
She leaned back on her shoulders watching him undress. Bucky smirked. “I bet you’ve thought about me naked huh?”
Y/n smiled as he crawled back on top of her. “Am I that transparent?” She asked, not a hint of sarcasm in her voice. “I want you! I need you! Oh baby, Oh baby!”

Disasters Everywhere...
Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (29th March - 2nd April 2021)
They say that bad things come in threes and that was certainly true for Trish, who this week was finally launching her dance school. Unfortunately, the day was littered with disasters; not only did Brad fail to show his face, nobody else turned up either as Maxine realised with horror that she’d put the wrong date on the posters. Then, Trish suddenly decided that Leah wasn’t good enough to perform after all and cruelly scrapped her solo. Finally, Trish was clearly rattled when one of the only people who did turn up was  AJ Pritchard Marco, a dance teacher from her previous school who was clearly relishing her embarrassment.  As Trish looked to put the terrible launch behind her, she had to deal with Courtney, who was furious at how poorly Leah had been treated, and she demanded that Trish give Leah free 1-to-1 tuition. Trish agreed and later told Leah that she was going to have to do exactly as she told her if she wanted to make her dance dreams come true. 
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Brad, Felix and Warren were preparing to steal some laptops, but the job turned out to be far more difficult than they had imagined and poor Maxine ended up getting knocked over by the hijacked van. Luckily, Maxine survived but it was soon panic stations when she wanted to report what had happened to the police. Warren, with the help of a scary mask, convinced Maxine to forget about what had happened, however, Maxine later spotted the mask in Warren’s flat and realised what he’d done. Maxine confronted Warren but, rather than own up to his part in the robbery, Warren gave Maxine Felix’s name instead. Once Felix found out, he took the laptops and pocketed the money, leaving Brad and Warren furious. Brad had a trick up his sleeve, and told Felix that he would go to the police unless they got their share of the money. However, Brad may have to kiss goodbye to the money when he was visited by Fergus, who admitted that the whole robbery had been a set-up and unless Brad signed his business over to him, he would give his name to the police.
Tumblr media
Elsewhere, Cher continued to make life difficult for Mercedes this week and suggested that she and Sylver went on a camping trip, making sure that Mercedes was kept in the dark about the plans for maximum drama. Both Mercedes and Romeo were left annoyed when they discovered that Sylver and Cher had gone and ended up spending the night together. Out in the wilderness, Cher was enjoying spending some time alone with Sylver and had even taken his phone to ensure that Mercedes couldn’t spoil things. The following morning, Sylver was looking for his missing phone and was puzzled to find that Cher had it. However, she was able to talk herself out of trouble and insisted that she must have picked it up by accident...
Tumblr media
Father and Daughter returned to the village but Cher was annoyed when Sylver quickly turned his attentions back to Mercedes and the trolls and recruited Tom to help track the trolls down. A panicked Cher impressed Mercedes when she filmed and uploaded a video warning the trolls to stop, hoping that it would be enough to get Tom to drop the investigation. However, she was too late and Tom had already deduced that, instead of several trolls, there was just the one using various pseudonyms, and the accounts could all be linked to a tablet that belonged to Marnie. Cher immediately accused Romeo of being the troll whilst a furious Sylver went to confront Marnie. However, as Sylver read out the messages to a bemused Marnie, the penny dropped for Romeo as he realised that both Cher and the troll had incorrectly used the term “escape goat” and that Cher had had ample opportunities to access Marnie’s tablet. Cher eventually admitted what she’d done and Romeo warned her that if she didn’t own up, he would do it for her...
Tumblr media
In other news this week, John Paul and George took some time away from the village to repair their relationship whilst Cleo was worried when she found out that Pete was being released from prison. Cindy decided to enter the ‘Business Woman of the Year’ competition and finally, Ripley found themselves a new place to live as they moved in with Grace.

all even numbers for ripley and bucky for the ship asks?
all even numbers, you really wanna kill me huh?? [cracks knuckles]
-----------------------NSFW CONTENT AHEAD-------------------------
2. Who is the most insecure and what makes them feel better?
Bucky is the insecure one and that's mostly because he's in a new decade, been in a fight for the past 70 years of his life so like he has to get used to the new style of living, meeting people, and romantic relationships as well as the aspects of it. Ripley makes him feel better about it because she's used to the old fashion way of doing things just like him.
4. Who can’t keep their hands to themselves?
James Buchanan Barnes and not just in a sexual way either. He is always wanting to hold Ripley's hand or play with her hair.
6. Who would they ask if they ever had a threesome?
Sam Wilson, let's be real
8. What do they like in bed?
Cuddling. Slow caressing. Hand holding.
10. What two songs, two books and two luxury items do they take to a desert island?
Ripley chooses: Ava by Famy, At The Edge of the Universe by Shaun David Hutchinson, and Peter's walkman with headphones
Bucky chooses: Hungry Eyes by Eric Carmen, The Lonely City by Olivia Laing, and of course his vibranium arm
12. What first changes when it starts getting serious?
Ripley would express how she's nervous about getting close to him because whenever she gets close to people, they get hurt. And Bucky would reassure her constantly.
14. When one has a cold, what does the other do?
Ripley has the cold and Bucky would totally go nanny nurse on her: making soup, fetching blankets, running her baths, brewing honey milk tea, etc. He'd also give her many, MANY, snuggles
16. When the zombie apocalypse comes, how do they cope together?
Just like in Marvel's What If . . . Zombies, Bucky and Ripley would be the survivors along with Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, T'Challa, and Scott Lang. Ripley would be the only survivor to go against Zombie!Wanda because their powers are the most powerful.
18. When they fight, how do they make up?
Ripley would get energized due to her abilities and she'd be the one to quickly try and diffuse the tension before she goes supernova, not wanting to harm him. Meanwhile Bucky recognizes this and cradles her face gently between his palms and kisses her
20. Where do they go on holiday?
Honestly, they'd just go to the most basic places because they could. They'd road trip and spend the nights in hotels. But the one place that they would go to is Wakanda because Bucky would want to thank Shuri and the others for their help.
22. Where does their first kiss happen?
Once they take back the shield from John Walker
24. Where do they first have sex?
In a hotel room, on the bed
26. Why do they need to have a serious chat?
Because Bucky never seen this girl in his 106 years of existing and yet, he's receiving dreams of her (which are actually her memories that are being filtered by energy because of the laws of thermodynamics and she is a Nexus being of energy manipulation) and he wants to know why
