I am 26 folks!!!

I was actually talking to my housemate (who i convinced to read cp hahaha) about this scene a couple of weeks ago, and she pointed out that it’s not actually challis that Laurent is drugged with; Damen considers it is and then when he checks out Laurent’s goblet, he realises it’s an Akielon pleasure drug.

how dare you do this and not WRITE IT

2) maybe it's making because i can't see steve with anyone other than bucky which is why sam falls into the bracket of people i don't ship him with. so technically by that, i have many notps when it comes to ships i am devoted to. i guess i don't see what's wrong with having headcanons that some characters are straight and others aren't. but i do agree that there is racism when it comes to shipping white characters with POCs. especially male POCS. look at poe/finn.

It’s one thing to think someone’s straight or to not ship something. But fandom seems to have the power to see anyone as gay...except black characters. And there is zero evidence in canon that Sam is straight. Like, the look he gives Natasha when she pulls up at the beginning of Cap 2, the thing that people use as evidence that he’s straight (because it’s pretty much the only possible evidence)? That’s the exact same look he gives Steve when Steve shows up to break him out of underwater supermax.

So people really need to ask themselves WHY they so adamantly see Sam as straight. You said it yourself - there’s a serious pattern and a shitton of racism when it comes to black characters in fandom. Shipping doesn’t exist in a vacuum - context matters.

And at least you’re honest about being a strict Steve/Bucky shipper. I don’t really get it because I’ve always been a multishipper, but you do you. But the posts I screenshotted? They talk about shipping Steve with everyone except Sam. So it’s not about actually having an OTP - it’s about not wanting to ship Sam with their favorite white boys. Because they can say they ship him with Nat or Maria until they’re blue in the face, but they’re not out here writing Sam/Nat or Sam/Maria fics.

And none of this is even touching the gross “Sam takes care of everyone else because he’s all about all these other people’s happiness isn’t he so great?” bullshit that was in that post.

Sure thing!

deep in this anatomy, buried by alcibiades

Bucky's relationship with Steve was fairly simple. His relationship with technology - in particular, one specific piece of technology - was a little bit more difficult to explain.

Sing Me a Smile by OhCaptainMyCaptain

“Sing me a smile, Buck.”

Steve’s always liked Bucky’s voice. Raspy, gentle… On key, but by no means a thing to be heard on Broadway. Bucky’s always been one of those people who hums a tune while he works the hours away. It’s usually under his breath, and most people never seem to catch it, but it’s there.

Steve’s favourite is when Bucky sings along to “How Deep is the Ocean” by Irving Berlin, and the first time Bucky ever sings it to him is when Steve’s fifteen and holed up in his bedroom, sick as a mangy dog. Usually Steve can give him a smile no matter how bad the cold, but on this particular occasion, he keeps staring off and seems to be worse for the wear; one of those rare occasions where the shit cards he constantly seems to be dealt are finally dragging down his mood.

Shyest by biblionerd07

SHIELD discovers that HYDRA took a DNA sample from Captain America and a DNA sample from the Winter Soldier and tried to breed a perfect supersoldier. Steve and Bucky suddenly find themselves the parents of a three-year-old boy who won’t speak.

This work is a series of ficlets that tells the story of each picture. As each chapter progresses, it will encompass one or two of the images, how they appear chronologically. These are inspired works for petite-madame with her blessing.

There Should Be Stars by childhoodinfamy

“All memories to tell you the truth aren’t good.But sometimes there were good times.Love was good. I loved your crooked sleepbeside me and never dreamed afraid.

There should be stars for great warslike ours. There ought to be awardsand plenty of champagne for the survivors.”- Sandra Cisneros

Or, it takes them decades.

Thou Swell by cosmosmariner

He told his ma that one day he would have a good job, a real job where he could wear a nice suit, and a swell house, and Steve would live there with him, and he’d take care of him always, the way his dad took care of his ma. And his ma got a strange look on her face.She hugged him tightly and told him not to think about things like that, it wasn’t right for a boy his age to think about it.

Bucky wondered why.
