#bbbflash

*Slams down some salt and angst*  No, I will never be over this.  Just in case you were, y’know, wondering.

THE TIME HAS COME!!!

The BBB Flash Bingo is now OPEN!

The cards are below the cut, so feel free to peruse and pick the one you want.  There are no signups required for the flash bingo, but you will have to fill out this form to get your badge if you get a bingo. 

The flash bingo will last until the end of the month, and masterposts need to be in by March 5th so we can share it on the Grand Masterpost.

If you’re posting to AO3, make sure to post to the BBB Special Events collection, and if you post/share on Tumblr, make sure to @ us and tag #bbbflash2021 so we see it.  We’ve also got our Discord server open as well so you can share there.

Same rules apply as with the regular bingo concerning what counts as a fill, and all other rules.  If you need a refresher, you can read those here, and the FAQ is here.

This bit is important, so please read.  Different from our previous full and flash bingos, we are now requiring you to fill out a submission form every time you make a fill.  This is to make it easier to track fills on our spreadsheets and put together the weekly roundup.  If you do not fill out the form for every fill, we will not know you have made them, and you will not get your badges.

Let us know if you’ve got questions, and LET THE FLASH BEGIN!

Decorating Bucky’s Metal Arm

“I’m noticing a trend with these gifts…”

“Start with these. I will find a set in Russian for your birthday.”

“Hey, Mr Barnes, look what  I found. Now you can always have the Avengers with you.”

“I heard about Nat’s plan, and  thought you might want to work up to it.”

“Really, Skywalker. Bare metal is only acceptable on prototypes and War Machine; go add some  colour to that arm. Better yet, get Cap to do it.”   “For when you need to find a pen to make notes. And I apologize … Tony chose the designs*.”

“I heard about Natasha’s and  Clint’s plans, and thought you might want to work up to it.”

“Alright punk, hit me. What did you get?”

“Well, apparently my team doesn’t tell me things. So, Merry Christmas.”

*the pens read ‘Warning: armed and dangerous’, and ‘Winter Smolder’

For the longest time, all Bucky had known was cold.

He'd fallen into it years ago, had been found by HYDRA and turned into the Winter Soldier, kept in cryo between assignments. He had known fear, and depression, and he'd felt like he was frozen from the inside out.

But then there was Steve, who found him and brought him to the compound. A welcoming home where he found Tony, with his bright energy and his sun-kissed skin and his warm brown eyes, who smiled at him. And for the first time in years, he felt warmth spread through him.

Bucky Barnes flash Bingo Holiday Card 3 - Jingle Bells

“All I want for Christmaaaaas…” Tony jumped down from his living room couch, wobbling on his legs but successfully holding himself together, even in his drunkish state. He took a deep breath, pointing his index finger at Bucky while his other hand held the remote control close to his mouth, in a foolish impersonation of a mic, “It’s yooooooooooooooooou!!!!!!!!!!”

His voice cracked right at the end, and Bucky bursted into a joyful laugh, Tony following right after. He couldn’t hold himself anymore, he’d been biting his lips the entire time Tony performed this karaoke version of this Christmas song, but the poor state his boyfriend was in barely helped him stay composed.

Tony hadn’t been able to hold himself, no, Bucky snorted fondly, lost in thought as he danced in front of the television. He had been so eager to show Bucky everything about Christmas traditions and its entanglement with the pop culture of the 21th century, they started celebrating on the 24th.

“Relax,” Tony had said when he asked if they weren’t starting things too early, “there are a lot of countries that celebrate Christmas on the 24th. Just sit back and enjoy. I want you to have fun.” his eyes had shone, very much alive.

It was technically the first time Bucky would be celebrating Christmas after finding himself in this new century, and even if it was overwhelming, because even his best friend seemed to know how things worked nowadays, Tony helped him navigate through it all with ease.

“I want the Christmas Eve to be just the two of us.” Bucky had said, hoping that if he had a preview of what would be happening in the next day with all the Avengers included, he would be able to enjoy it more.

Tony had agreed without a second thought, and promptly arranged everything they would need for that day. That’s how they ended up where they were now, in the genious’ penthouse drinking an unholy amount of eggnog and singing these traditional christmas songs.

Even though Bucky couldn’t get drunk, his blood still coursed through him lazily, giving him the perfect headspace he needed to enjoy the holiday. Maybe he was drunk with love, he pondered, looking as Tony babbled on about the next song he would sing.

He was at peace as sat back on the couch, drinking his eggnog and watching with mirth as Tony hips moved recklessly in what Bucky was sure he thought was sexy, but ended bordering adorable, to the rhythm of bells from the new song he chose to eviscerate.

Tony cleared his throat, gave him a clumsy wink, and started singing.

“Dashing through the snoooow…” Bucky rolled his eyes at the smaller man’s performance. His lover was many things, but a good singer was not one of them. “In a one-horse open sleeeeigh,” Bucky frowned, nostalgia hitting him in the guts.

He knew that song.
