    Summary

    They always talk about the calm before the storm.
    They always dream about the sunshine after the rain.
    But the truth is that it’s the middle, the moment the thunder strikes and the earth rattles, the moment it pours, that all becomes very, very clear.

    A story about those three years of silence, three years to be apart, three years to think it through.
    Three years to learn how to regret.

    Summary

    “Why… You told them we were together.” It’s more of an accusation than he means it to be, but Sokka doesn’t waver.

    “Do you normally kiss strangers and then just act like friends?” And he’s so fucking nonchalant that Zuko doesn’t know how to respond.

    “No?”

    “Well then,” Sokka laughs a little under his breath, hands over another polaroid but Zuko’s too busy staring at him to look at it. “I guess you’re my festival boyfriend, Zu. If that’s alright with you.”

    Another picture is added to his hand, and Zuko asks, “But what does that mean?”

    Summary

    But Sam is looking at him with lidded eyes and a soft little smile on his lips. It feels private. Like a smile that’s been saved just for him, out of all the people in the world Sam could smile at like that. Feels like that moment in the bar when their eyes met and it was just the two of them, like the rest of the world fell away and Sam was the only thing that mattered. And it’s – Bucky should be terrified. Probably is terrified, if he stops and thinks about it. But it’s just Sam. Just the person Bucky cares about most in the world.

    Sam’s gaze flickers down. It takes Bucky a second to realize – oh, he’s staring at my lips – and then a dizzying rush of heat floods through him. Makes him feel alive in a way he hasn’t felt in so long. Makes him want to lean in, to see what Sam tastes like, how soft his lips are. Wants to see what noise he’d make if Bucky just - just surprised him and leaned forward and –

    He’s leaning forward. Closing the distance between them. So slowly, achingly slowly, but it’s –

    He can’t. He just –

    Can’t.

    (Not yet, at least. Not until he works up the courage. But he tells himself that for now it's enough, just being next to him, just being his friend.)

    Summary

    After Sam is dumped by his girlfriend, Bucky suggests he pretends to be Sam's boyfriend while Sam's visiting his family for the holidays.

    EXCERPT:

    “What do you say? Fake boyfriends?”

    Sam should probably say no. But Bucky was giving him these puppy dog eyes. This pleading to help Sam out. And Sam found himself reaching out for Bucky’s face – and squishing it too.

    “What the hell? Why not?” said Sam, the both of them beaming, “Fake boyfriend.”

    Fake boyfriend,” grinned Bucky, all smiles and dopey.

    Summary

    “Fucking hell, shut up and go back to sleep,” Sam grumbles. “I got you, man. I’m right here.”

    It feels like the cargo plane again. Feels like someone actually cares about him, and Bucky’s really not sure what do with the emotions it sparks in his chest. He’s also, maybe, just a little too tired to examine it too closely. Lists sideways again, and can’t help the way his head falls on Sam’s shoulder. Sam tenses, briefly, and Bucky worries he’s fucked up again – but then Sam settles back against the couch, exhaling a little amused huff.

    “Sleep, Bucky,” he whispers.

    Sam’s so warm. It’s almost intimate, even though they’re not touching anywhere except head and shoulder. But Sam’s so warm, and it’s closer than Bucky’s been to another human being in, like, seventy years. It feels safe. Comfortable. Sam is there for him, and he doesn’t care that Bucky’s fucked-up brain woke him up in the middle of the night. Bucky exhales, and all the leftover tension sighs out of him. So, he does the only thing he can do. He relaxes down against Sam’s side, closes his eyes, and lets sleep carry him away.

     

    Five times Sam helped Bucky with his nightmares, and the one time Bucky returned the favor.

    Summary

    “Can’t sleep properly alone in the house?” Albert asks, sympathetic, and Bucky knew he was tired, but he wonders if it’s even worse than he thought before Albert can see it. He always figured the serum did a pretty good job of hiding the usual evidence — bloodshot eyes and dark bags a rarity for Bucky. 

    “A bit,” Bucky admits, doesn’t say that he hasn’t slept a full night through without Sam in the next room. That when he has slept, his dreams have been nightmares. That he’s counting the nights until Sam is back. Only two to go. Maybe Bucky will come back here and pick up some beignets before driving to the airport to fetch him. Sam will complain about getting the sugar all over his truck, but he’ll gladly eat them anyway. 

    Albert nods like this makes sense. “I can never sleep right when my missus is away, either.”


    It seems like everyone around town has gotten the wrong idea about Sam and Bucky's relationship. Sam thinks maybe their use of the term partner is the cause. Bucky might not be so sure about that.

    Summary

    Sam and Bucky are co-workers, partners, friends, and roommates so Sam is used to Bucky’s quirks by now, and that man has a lot of them. Still, it catches Sam off guard when Bucky starts speaking to him in languages he doesn’t understand. Even more so, when he starts finding a common theme amongst all of them. And then one time, Bucky unknowingly uses a language Sam knows and chaos ensues.

    Or: five times Bucky tried to confess to Sam and the one time Sam beat him to it

    Summary

    Sam’s eyes shone with joy. “You showed up for me, Buck. Maybe that’s what changed everything. Like flipping a switch and now nothing will ever be the same since I’ve seen you in this light.”

    “I never wanna be the man who doesn’t show up for you, Sam Wilson.”

    “Now you’re just trying to charm me. Steve warned me about that, ya know? His rascal of a friend Bucky. The charmer with the million-dollar smile and a shitload of pretty words. Then I met you and there was zero smile and about 10 words and a grunt or two. I thought he was full of shit, but here we are.”

    “Here we are. Maybe I’m an acquired taste.”

    “Maybe. Had a shot of you last night, now here I am back for more.”

    Summary

    AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.

    And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.

    And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.

    Based on this tumblr post.
