    Summary

    This is the fic for everyone who watched Thunderbolts and thought #notmyBucky. This is a redo of Secret Invasion, a story about assembling the *actual* Avengers, and a chance to give Sam the love and appreciation he deserves from the people around him. When I tagged this as "extremely Thunderbolts negative" I very much meant it, so please bear that in mind when reading!

    The title is from "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

    Summary

    For a month Sam was away on a mission, his departure leaving Bucky with endless longing and pent-up sexual energy, that came in the form of dreams. Now that Sam is home, it's almost as if Bucky can't contain himself. Every moment with Sam was too perfect, everything about Sam too sweet. Not wanting to disrupt Sam's day he contains himself, attempting to hold it all in as he goes about his day.

    Summary

    “No,” Sam said, chuckling. “I don’t cheat,” he swept his gaze up and down James’ body, “even with guys who look like you. But, I’m bored and a little pissed, so if you wanna sit here and shoot the shit ‘til my man shows back up, I’m game.”

    Never one to back to back down from a challenge - especially a challenge who looked like Sam Wilson - Bucky took another swig from his bottle and replied, “Sure, doll. I’ve got nothing but time.”

    Steve has Sam. Bucky wants Sam. Sam wasn’t expecting any of this.

    Summary

    “Friends, huh? That what we are?” There’s suddenly a deeper tone to Bucky's voice. He's probably sitting in his office, with his secretary right outside. Behind the same desk they banged on a few weeks ago. God. Sam inhales and shifts around in his chair.

    “That’s what you said. Right, buddy?” Sam revels in the ever-suffering groan Bucky lets out. Knows he’s tossing his head back, opening up the smooth length of his neck that Sam loves to dig his teeth into.

    “I explained about that.”

    “Was that before or after you choked me out? Can’t recall right now. Maybe you can jog my memory—”

    Summary

    It was a bad idea. Sam knew as much. His mission directive was clear: Travel back in time, go to the Stark Expo, and retrieve the stolen Wakandan artefact as a promise of goodwill and a way to make amends with a valued ally. He had finished the first half of his mission and secured the artefact, but he had not activated the Temporal Shift Device to return him to his own time. Curiosity had gotten the better of Sam. Curiosity and a yearning deep inside. He knew that there was a chance that he would see this other Bucky. He knew that if he set the Device to pick-up Bucky’s corporeal frequency, he would find him in the sea of people. The fact of the matter was, Sam missed Bucky. He missed his Bucky.

    Summary

    Ten, fifteen years ago, Sam could've never imagined that his rogue search for Steve's friend would develop the way it had, into this strong, unwavering, nebulous thing they carefully skirted.

    But…buddy? Was that all? Sam hadn’t thought so. Sure, they’d never said it explicitly, had never brought it out into the open, so maybe, to Bucky, buddy was it. Best buddy, even.

    It had hurt more than Sam thought it would, to have confirmation that this thing he was so sure of was one-sided. Maybe Sam’s deep-seated belief that they were building a life together, that they were a double-sided arrow pointing unfailingly towards a them, was just his alone, not something shared between him and Bucky like he’d thought.

    No…like he’d hoped.

    Maybe that was what hurt the most: to hope, to believe in something even beyond the point of logic, to give himself over to that quiet desire, the comfort they traded so easily between them, the home they’d built. Sam muffled a sob, though he was—alone. There was no one around to hear him cry, but even the sound was too much to his own ears.

    How could he have let himself get so carried away?

    Summary

    “Didn’t we say separate vacations?”

    Bucky pivots to his left, smack-bang into Sam Wilson.

    “Fuck,” he says because there’s just no way. There’s no way this is real. The chances are zero of this happening, right? He shakes off the cold shock and tries again. “What the fuck?” But that’s no better.

    “Funny,” Sam says, “that’s what I said. You know, you don’t look like yourself in floral shirts. Took me a while.”

    Summary

    Sam Wilson didn't know that he was a demigod. But now, with a group of new friends, he must find his way to Camp Half-Blood.

     

    EXCERPT:

    “We, uh,” said Paul as he cleared his throat, “We met this… guy.”

    Sam blinked.

    “This guy?” asked Sam, confused.

    “He was – oh wow. He. We got along really well,” said Paul, a twinkle in his eyes as he glanced at Darlene – and.

    This felt a little too intimate for Sam to be hearing about his own parents.

    “We sort of got a long after that for, I don’t know, about a year,” said Darlene, tucking one of her twists behind her ear as she decidedly didn’t look Sam in the eyes, “And – it’s going to sound fantastical but you, um – ”

    “You’re still our son. Biological son, you’re our – we’re both still your – I’m not really sure how it worked, but – ” Paul continued, trying to find the words to tell Sam whatever went on.

    “You sort of. Just,” said Darlene, mimicking what happened with her hands, “Appeared. From his. Forehead?”

    Joaquín choked on his Arnold Palmer.

    Riley’s eyes widened, not expecting that.

    Sam.

    Sam needed a minute.

    “I was… a forehead baby?” asked Sam, supremely confused.

    Summary

    Sam knew what he was signing up for when he married a senator running for Office. He knew what Riley’s job demanded. He knew the hours, the stress, the milling, and the perpetual buzz. Living his life constantly surrounded by everything, by an entire nation.

    But he had always dreamed of a quiet life. A place in the country with the man he loves, acres of greenery and trees, and flowers around them. A long winding road they could drive down on a warm Sunday afternoon. A big old farmhouse with a wraparound porch and a French kitchen. Some horses and a stable, and a little creek covered with a blanket of mist in the mornings.

    He gets what he wants in the most horrible of ways.

    Summary

    They leave the Lesotho border, head east until they hit the coast where the heat’s steady and humidity clings to them like skin. It's then that Bucky really finds out what a problem Cap’s sleeping habits are.

    Because, instead of the very sensible, very weather-appropriate sweats Sam’s been wearing, he starts sleeping in his goddamn boxers. Which is also fine, it’s cool, normal even, everyone, including Bucky, does that.

    But not everyone, and especially not Bucky, has an ass that just won’t quit.

    Summary

    Hooking up with Sam has been a dream come true for Bucky and he will happily bury his feelings for eternity if it means he gets to be with Sam.
     
     
    He adorably tried to play it off like he fell. Like a person could actually fall perfectly into someone's lips with their mouth puckered and ready. Bucky didn't care about the silly fib because the kiss, as light and brisk as it may have been, did something to him. Lit something up inside of him that had been dormant for some time. He leaned right back in and kissed Sam for real.

    That's how it started. With them making out every time Sam got a little drunk.

    Summary

    Bucky struggles to understand love. When Sam invites Bucky to spend Christmas with his family, Bucky finally learns what love is.

     

    "Would you cry if I died?"

    Sam stills and meets his eyes carefully.

    "What?" Sam asks baffled.

    "Nevermind," Bucky retracts.

    "No way, you ain't neverminding that. Did you just ask if I'd cry if you died?"

    Summary

    “I won’t laugh.” Bucky straightens out both his back and his expression and scoots closer, knee colliding with Sam’s own. He keeps it there; it feels hot and solid, even through the kevlar. “C’mon, I promise. Just tell me.”

    Sam turns it over in his head for a long moment. Swallows hard. Rubs his palms across his thighs.

    “Okay,” he says, looking away. “Do you believe in ghosts, man?”

    Bucky laughs, the asshole.

    Sam has been haunted all his life. This is the first time he's ever thought of telling anyone about it.

    Summary

    “So, guess you’re headed back to Wakanda?”

    “I might,” Bucky says. “Honestly, I was banking on going back to Brooklyn. Closest thing I’ve got to home, so, just made sense. But seeing as I’m a fugitive…” He glances over at Sam with a wry smile. “Why, what about you?”

    “Rhodey found a spot,” Sam says. “Some safe house on the outskirts of the city. Hasn’t been used in a few years, so, gonna head there and stay low till the pardon is official. Or try to, anyway.”

    Bucky is quiet for a minute before he turns to Sam and asks, “Want some company?”
