I'm finally here to claim my story that I wrote for @marvelundercover 2020 | Theme: music. My fic: Coast to Coast didn't get a lot of love on ao3, lol, prob. b/c I think I scared everyone off w/ my tags and my author's note - but I really can't stop being DIG. Ha. In any case, I'm here to entice you with some art I created based on the happy ending of Coast to Coast. I hope you'll give it a try!

Everyone he ever cared about is dead.

Betrayed by someone on his own team and filled with a memory of a song he doesn't know anything about, Bucky lives in a cabin near Mount Chase, Maine. A stranger comes knocking on the door and as much as Bucky doesn't want to trust him, he isn't able to hide his attraction to him, either. Some questions are answered, but some answers don't make any sense. Is it too late to face your past and make amends?

Title: And I'm gonna hold you like I'm saying goodbye. Author: digthewriter | @stevedigsbucky Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 20,000 wc Prompt #: 93 for FIC from the 2019 Fest. Fake relationship. Steve needs a date to some function to get his friends off his back about dating. Enter Bucky. by @bangyababy Warnings: There's a minor plot twist. Otherwise, none, really. AU. Summary: Steve doesn't want a date to this party, but he kinda needs one. Only because he'd like to tell his ex to go drown himself. And then he ends up with a man named Bucky, and gets more than what he'd bargained for. Fake relationship for the win!

I participated in the @stuckyremix 2020 Fest and Remix an art into fic... you can view the art HERE by @albymangroves. Below is the excerpt from the small ficlet (less than 1000 words) - FULL STORY HERE.

The Meaning of Sunflowers...

>>Happy Birthday, Steve.<<

The first one is from Nat, but the rest start pouring in. It is his birthday, isn't it? Of course he knows it. Remembers it…but…? Would he even dare think Bucky would remember it?

Things have been going back to normal, for lack of a better word, but they aren't normal normal.

Too normal but not normal enough. A thing no one will be able to understand.

A thing he can't tell anyone.

Steve lets out a whiny moan, turns his phone to silent, and rolls over in bed. He pulls up the covers and hides from the world. What would he do? Walk in and tell Bucky, "Hey, bud… so it's kinda my birthday. It's okay if you forgot. I mean, I didn't expect you to remember. Or know…"

Would it be considered: Bucky forgot. Or maybe this Bucky just doesn't know. Like, he doesn't know a lot of things. Or doesn't want to remember.
