sam makes plans with some bucky-based easter eggs that have taken on lives of their own

Sam does an Avengers-themed trivia night with some of Bucky's friends while Bucky himself is visiting friends in Wakanda. Conveniently, several of the more obscure questions are about his partner/sidekick/secret boyfriend.

Sam Wilson Sunday 9:17 PM
Sam: hey - I know bucky's going to be in wakanda for the next week, but I'll be up there at the apartment for a couple nights if you wanted to grab dinner or something

Becca: "the apartment"

Becca: cute, I love how domestic that sounds

Becca: what's his is yours

Sam: fine, bucky's apartment

Becca: no I like it better the first way

Becca: it's like how his heart is also his but yours

Becca: it's totes adorbs

Sam: yeah, every time I talk to you, bucky's obsession with some random reporter makes a little more sense

Becca: ouch

Becca: that was uncalled for

Sam: just be glad that I'm still refusing to help him in his efforts to find you a date

Becca: believe me, I am

Becca: anyway, though, yes, absolutely. when are you free?

Sam: tuesday or wednesday, probably

Becca: I can do whichever works for you! just let me know asap - my brother and I do trivia every week with some of our friends, and tuesday's one of the days we sometimes go

Becca: sam?

Sam: I don't want to do it with a big group, but if you'd be up for it, I'd hope nobody recognizes me and do trivia

Sam: it's fine if it's more of a you thing or you don't want to risk the fanfare

Becca: no, I'd be up for that!

Becca: what does not a big group mean? just us?

Sam: if he'd be cool with it, I'd meet your brother

Becca: I mean, he wouldn't be cool because he's never cool, but he would be excited as fuck

Sam: okay, then, yeah

Becca: uhh fair warning though, he's

Becca: uh

Becca: well, he's interrogated me multiple times about whether or not I'm dating, sleeping with, or otherwise involved with bucky, because he ships you and bucky and doesn't want me in the way

Sam: huh.

Becca: I think he finally believes me that I'm not, but he asks about you guys at least once a week

Sam: no offense, but I like how you'd be the villain of that story

Becca: yeah, yeah, story of my life

Becca: nobody thinks "hey, it'd be cool to know bucky barnes's girlfriend," it's all "I hope you're not interfering"

Sam: thank you for interfering, I like having a boyfriend and he would have dragged the entire thing out for another three months if you hadn't bullied him into talking to me

Sam: but yeah, as long as your brother's not going to ask weird shit about my sex life, that's fine

Becca: he definitely won't do that

Becca: long story but he has Feelings about those kinds of questions

Becca: let me check in with him

Text messages between Jaime Lehigh and Rebecca Lehigh

Jay 🙄 Today 9:29 PM
Becca: so, question

Jay: ?

Becca: theoretically speaking

Jay: oh god

Becca: would you be up for just us trivia tuesday so I can bring a friend?

Jay: YES bucky barnes takes trivia let's do this

Becca: it's not him

Jay:

Jay: why are you making it sound cool and mysterious, then?

Jay: oh my god are you hooking up with the physicist and bringing her? PLZ SAY YES

Becca: I'm not narrowing it down for you by answering more questions

Jay: goddamnit I hate it when you do that

Jay: is it someone you're dating though

Becca: so tuesday's okay?

Jay: yeah, I'll tell everybody we're doing it thursday so they don't check in

Jay: I want to know who this person is though

Jay: pick up the phoooone

Text messages between Sam Wilson and Rebecca Lehigh

Sam Wilson Sunday 10:25 PM
Becca: he's fine with it

Becca: I did not tell him it was you, though

Sam: why?

Becca: because I don't want to spend two days with him freaking out at me

Becca: he's very melodramatic

Sam: somehow that doesn't surprise me

Notes:

easter eggs: in the comics, bucky's sister was named rebecca and he met steve at camp lehigh. she was supposed to be a fun byline for some interviews but then she somehow became a proper character. when i decided she needed a brother i also decided to lean into absurdity, so now there's a character who's an easter egg for bucky himself ("jaime" is obviously a spin on "james"). time stamps are nyc area codes and a louisiana area code. (bc ofc. 😛) gif is from futurama.
while i'm settling in from my move, i'll post a new fic to this series on MWF mornings est (and occasionally more often) - if you want to be alerted when I do, you can subscribe to the series +here. please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in a future fic or just what you're enjoying the most - my muse is very susceptible to peer pressure. 😛
as always, thank you so much for reading, kudos/comments are always appreciated - i try to respond to all the comments, i sometimes don't succeed if i'm busy but i love reading them regardless. i hope you all have the best day available to you! 💕
next time: sam makes some middle of the night posts on instagram and blows up the internet
Bucky: what the fuck did I just wake up to
Sam: it seemed like a good idea at 2am
Bucky: how drunk were you??

Bar trivia messages between Jaime Lehigh, Rebecca Lehigh, and Sam Wilson

i got wasted like all my potential

round one
Question: Question 1: Name each avenger who got their powers from infinity stones.
Jay Jay: wanda, vision, captain marvel?

Jay: god it's so fucking weird to say that when I'm sitting at a table with a guy who's actually met all of them

Sam Sam: if it helps, I'm not exactly on texting terms with carol

Sam: but add pietro, too
Jay Jay: fuck I forgot about him
Question: Question 2: Who made Sam Wilson's current wings?

Sam Sam: this is a very weird moment for me right now
Question: Question 3: How many avengers were born during the 1918 pandemic?
Sam Sam: it's just steve
Question: Question 4: Name the birthdays (month and day) of the original six members of the Avengers.
Sam Sam: don't look at me like that, I'm not great at remembering birthdays
Jay Jay: oh, fuck

Jay: you're sure about q3, though, right?
Sam Sam: yes

Sam: I know my man's birthday
Jay Jay: becca's going to kick me for this but you know that calling him your man sounds kind of not-straight, right?
Sam Sam: it does, doesn't it

Text messages between Sam Wilson and Rebecca Lehigh

Sam Wilson Sam: you don't have to kick him, that was probably fair

Text messages between Jaime Lehigh and Rebecca Lehigh

Jay 🙄 Jaime: BECCA

Bar trivia messages between Jaime Lehigh, Rebecca Lehigh, and Sam Wilson

i got wasted like all my potential

Sam Sam: steve's 7/4, nat's 12/3

Sam: that's really all I've got
Jay Jay: you seriously don't know any others?

Sam Sam: wanda's, but they're not asking about her

Sam: I just showed up if someone said they were having a birthday party
Rebecca Becca: give me the pen, I know this
Jay Jay: thank fucking god
Question: Question 5: True or false: Natasha Romanov originally supported the Sokovia Accords.
Jay Jay: true, right?
Sam Sam: yes

Sam: the answer they're looking for is true, anyway, she more just saw it as the best of bad options Jay Jay: this is so fucking cool
Question: Question 6: What subway line did Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes live on before the war?
Sam Sam: they've got to be fucking kidding me

Sam: it's the g

Sam: I know you both know that, too, but I've had to listen to him complain about it so much without understanding what the fuck he's talking about, so I want credit for this one
Jay Jay: why do you keep listening, then?
Sam Sam: he's cute when he rants

Text messages between Jaime Lehigh and Rebecca Lehigh

Jay 🙄 Jaime: HE'S CUTE WHEN HE RANTS ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Bar trivia messages between Jaime Lehigh, Rebecca Lehigh, and Sam Wilson

i got wasted like all my potential

Question: Question 7: What is Clint Barton's daughter's name?
Rebecca Rebecca: sam, the fact that you don't know this is really funny
Sam Sam: don't worry, I see the humor
Question: Question 8: Which Avenger had a sibling who worked in U.S. intelligence?
Jay Jay: okay, what the hell

Jay: ending on an impossible one
Sam Sam: that's a level of detail I was not expecting from fucking bar trivia

Sam: I do know the answer to this one, though
Rebecca Becca: it's not just any bar trivia

Becca: it's avengers bar trivia in new york

Becca: they've gotta get deep with some questions here, otherwise everyone knows everything and they end up with like a six way tie

Jay Jay: who is it?

Sam Sam: bucky

Jay Jay: wait

Jay: wait wait wait

Jay: WHAT

Jay: bec you never fucking told me that

Rebecca Becca: 1) I do not actually have to tell you anything, jay

Becca: 2) I didn't know it

Becca: seriously, sam???

Sam Sam: yeah

Jay Jay: how do we not know that??

Jay: I have literally never read anything about that

Sam Sam: yeah, that's why I'm surprised by the level of detail - it's out there, but you really have to dig

Sam: after bucky got drafted she went to work as a code breaker
Rebecca Becca: huh, I did not know that
Sam Sam: he actually has some of the letters they sent each other during the war - steve sent her all of the letters she'd written to bucky before he went into the ice, and she hung onto them
Jay Jay: holy shit

Sam Sam: I'm not sure how he got his hands on them, but he let me read them at one point and they're actually really fucking funny

Sam: a lot of random things got taken out "just in case," and half of what got through read like a word salad
Jay Jay: fuck having you here feels a lot like cheating
Sam Sam: I couldn't tell you a lot of shit that should have been easy

Sam: I just know my pain in the ass partner

Text messages between Jaime Lehigh and Rebecca Lehigh

Jay 🙄 Jay: BEC IT'S RIGHT THERE YOU CANNOT TELL ME THEY'RE NOT IN LOVE

Text messages between Sam Wilson and Rebecca Lehigh

Sam Wilson Rebecca: you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

Sam: maybe a little

Notes:

this is rebecca and jaime's normal team name - it's from "this is me trying" by taylor swift, and i think the double meaning of "wasted" is funny here.
anyway - it's actually not inconceivable that bucky's sister would have worked as a code breaker during wwii - depending on the age difference between them, she'd have been about the right age for it (most of the thousands of women the u.s. military hired to do so were in their early/mid twenties), and one of the things the military was most interested in was a background in foreign languages. bucky was clearly incredibly gifted at foreign languages, and it's very plausible that his sister would have been good with them, too. a young woman with that skill set and an enlisted brother absolutely would have been someone they'd zero in on, and while we don't know whether rebecca barnes went to college, they did do some of their recruiting from barnard college in new york city.
so i'm going to say that she did, because it's a fun detail to slip in.
anyway, i hope you all enjoyed my random desire to revisit trivia night. kudos/comments are always appreciated, and lmk if you'd like to see more rounds. most importantly, i hope you all have the best day available to you. <3

Question: Question 1: Which two Avengers met each other first?
Rebecca Becca: ummmm

Becca: natasha and clint, maybe?
Sam Sam: are you being serious right now?

Jay Jay: wow, bec

Jay: just wow

Rebecca Becca: motherfucker

Becca: I'm a dumbass
Jay Jay: it's steve and bucky, right?
Sam Sam: by their definition of avenger, I'm assuming so

Sam: that's bad, rebecca
Jay Jay: seriously

Jay: how could you forget that your new bff used to be bffs with your childhood crush?
Sam Sam: wait, really?
Rebecca Becca: jay, I'm going to kill you

Text messages between Sam Wilson and Rebecca Lehigh

Sam Wilson Sam: seriously?

Rebecca: ughhhhhhhhh

Sam: does bucky know that?

Rebecca: I don't think so

Rebecca: stop laughing

Sam: I'm not laughing

Rebecca: then why are your shoulders shaking?

Sam: because I'm putting a lot of effort into not laughing, and I want it recognized

Rebecca: god fucking damnit, I'm going to kill jay

Rebecca: please don't share that with your boyfriend, he'll never let me live it down

Sam: he really wouldn't

Rebecca: sam, that's not a no

Sam: you're right, it's not a no

Rebecca: fuck you

Sam: I love how you've gone from "oh my god it's captain fucking america" to just "fuck you"

Rebecca: it's harder to be awed when I've seen you give your "baby" heart eyes because he walked in with your favorite coffee

Rebecca: and I don't know what the fuck he said when you guys were outside on thanksgiving but whatever it was you came in teary eyed and didn't let go of his hand for an hour

Sam: you can stop now

Rebecca: you sure?

Rebecca: because I can keep going for awhile

Sam: I know

Sam: that's why I'm stopping you now

Sam: and I'm pretty sure it wasn't an entire hour

Question: Question 2: What planet did Tony Stark fight Thanos on?

Question: Question 3: Name three Avengers who use their real names rather than distinct superhero aliases.
Jay Jay: do you and steve rogers count?
Sam Sam: no, but I think bucky might

Sam: he's definitely not the winter soldier anymore

Sam: the wakandans have a name for him but it's not really used by anyone else
Rebecca Rebecca: yeah, I'd argue that he counts
Sam Sam: I still don't understand why so many people think of him as an avenger
Rebecca Rebecca: strange

Jay Jay: what about vision?
Sam Sam: that works Question: Question 4: Which Avengers discovered that SHIELD had been infiltrated by HYDRA and brought it down? Jay Jay: help plz
Jay: the answer is you, steve, and natasha, right?
Sam Sam: do fury or hill usually count as avengers? Rebecca Rebecca: no

Sam Sam: then yeah
Sam: you could argue that bucky provided an assist by being so fucking dramatic
Jay Jay: I thought he was brainwashed and working for hydra then
Sam Sam: he was

Sam: even brainwashing couldn't take away my partner's flair for the dramatic Rebecca Rebecca: you love him for it Sam Sam: I definitely don't love him in spite of it

Sam: I do prefer the unbrainwashed version, though

Text messages between Jaime Lehigh and Rebecca Lehigh

Jay 🙄 Jaime: look, I know that platonic love exists

Jaime: and i know it's toxic masculinity to see any affection between male friends as, like, a thing

Jaime: but in this case come the fuck on

Question: Question 5: True or false: Sam Wilson retained a residence in Washington, DC while working with the Avengers.
Sam Sam: okay what the fuck
Rebecca Rebecca: I don't actually know the answer to this
Sam Sam: it's true, but why do they know that?
Jay Jay: wait why?

Jay: the avengers compound was in westchester
Sam Sam: I like having my own space

Sam: I'm not into constantly communal living, and it's not like we were on missions 24/7
Rebecca Rebecca: god I'd hate that kind of communal living
Sam Sam: yeah

Sam: at the compound you couldn't just casually go grab a drink with a friend or experiment with something for dinner or have some alone time with the person you were seeing, everyone was always in your fucking business

Sam: there was no way in fuck I was going to make that my main address Question: Question 6: Who created Ant Man's suit?
Sam Sam: the first time I met him, that tech confused the fuck out of me

Sam Sam: are they looking for loki or thanos?
Jay Jay: I'll put both
Question: Question 8: Where did Steve Rogers successfully enlist?
Jay Jay: what the fuck
Rebecca Rebecca: pretty sure it was the stark expo
Sam Sam: did the g go there?
Rebecca Rebecca: yes

Rebecca: it was a temporary extension for the world's fair and they used it for the expo too
Sam Sam: then yeah, it was

Sam: it was right before bucky left, and I know the g was the last train he took before he left
Jay Jay: please tell me it was because one of them was bitching about it being the g
Sam Sam: both of them did

Sam: bucky's said it more than once in the past few months
Jay Jay: that's incredible
Sam Sam: well, it's something

Sam: it should probably make me question my taste, but according to my sister I'm not always rational when it comes to him

Text messages between Sam Wilson and Rebecca Lehigh

Sam Wilson
Rebecca: sam

Sam: I realized before I sent it and decided to send it anyway

Rebecca: should I be telling you to stop sending shit like that?

Sam: no

Rebecca: just making sure

Jay: BECCA ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Jay: you can ignore me all you want, but "my taste" is not a thing people usually say platonically

Notes:

if you're american and are watching the jan 6 hearings (or are in any other stressful or upsetting situation), i hope that you're able to take care of yourself today. <3
with juneteenth coming up, I wanted to mention on juneteenth by annette gordon-reed - she talks about it both in the historical context as well as her own experiences as a black texan growing up in the 60s (including being the first black child to attend her elementary school). (if you're not familiar with the holiday, juneteenth commemorates the day the union army reached galveston, texas (june 19, 1865) and were able to actually enforce the end of slavery in the former confederacy, which had continued after the war was officially declared over. it became a federal holiday last year.)
thank you so much for reading. kudos/comments/requests are always appreciated, but most importantly, i hope that you enjoyed this and are able to have the best day available to you.

round three Rebecca Rebecca: oh motherfucker

Rebecca: I hate the music rounds
Jay Jay: we'll be fine
Sam Sam: no offense, but I hate brooklyn right now

Sam: "music steve and bucky listened to growing up" is a theme that I don't think I'd find anywhere else, and I hate it
Rebecca Rebecca: you haven't been listening to any of bucky's music, then?
Sam Sam: not enough to feel confident about this

Question: Question 1: 🎶 🎶 🎶
Sam Sam: yeah, we're fucked

Question: Question 2: 🎶 🎶 🎶
Rebecca Rebecca: hey, you're writing something down
Sam Sam: I don't think it's something right, though

Question: Question 3: 🎶 🎶 🎶

Question: Question 4: 🎶 🎶 🎶
Sam Sam: I actually did kind of recognize that last one, but I have no idea what it is

Sam: for fuck's sake, is anyone actually going to get most of these?
Jay Jay: probably there's like one person, and they'll bury the rest of us
Rebecca Rebecca: you've gotten some, though, sam
Sam Sam: a lot of them are guesses, and I'll be a little surprised if they're right
Question: Question 5: 🎶 🎶 🎶
Sam Sam: yeah, next time we're bringing bucky

Sam: we'd definitely be getting more of these if he was here

Question: Question 6: 🎶 🎶 🎶
Sam Sam: that's a very low bar
Question: Question 7: 🎶 🎶 🎶
Question: Question 8: 🎶 🎶 🎶
Jay Jay: is there any point in trying to think about it or should I just turn in the mostly empty sheet?
Sam Sam: I'd say just turn it in
Rebecca Rebecca: same

Rebecca: we're not going to get any more

Rebecca: yeah, jokes aside, bucky would've been really helpful for that
Sam Sam: I'm honestly surprised I even had guesses for that many

Sam: I'm usually focused on other things when he's got music on in the background
Rebecca Rebecca: you're learning by osmosis
Sam Sam: apparently

Sam: please don't tell him I did that badly
Jay Jay: why?

Sam Sam: he'll start telling me the title and artist for each song that comes on while he's giving me a back massage or we're cooking or whatever, and he'd use his obnoxious fake-innocent voice

Sam: "sam, I'm just trying to be helpful"

Sam: doesn't mean I don't love him to death

Text messages between Sam Wilson and Rebecca Lehigh

Sam Wilson Rebecca: yeah, you're on your own

Rebecca: I really can't blame him if he asks

Sam: honestly, I'm a little impressed he hasn't yet

round three Jay Jay: okay so becca's going to kick me for this but I don't care

Jay: are you guys, like, together?

Jay: or just vibey and not there yet even though it's obvious to everyone else?

Jay: or just the kind of thing where historians fight about whether it was "they were v close platonic friends, it's beautiful" or "can we just call a spade a spade, please" and this is literally the one time a spade is not exactly a spade?
Rebecca Rebecca: no, I'm done kicking you

Rebecca: he opened himself up to this and he knows it
Sam Sam: I did

Sam: I really did
Jay Jay: does that mean you're just not going to answer it or?
Sam Sam: yes

Jay Jay: okay yes to which though
Sam Sam: yes, my partner is my partner
Jay Jay: okay but technically that could be wordplay

Jay: Idk you do that sometimes so you don't have to actually answer questions
Sam Sam: that's fair

Sam: although it wasn't actually intentional, for what it's worth

Sam: yeah, we're together
Jay Jay: like as a thing
Sam Sam: yes, as a thing
Jay Jay: did you know, becca???

Jay: okay, that laugh says yes
Rebecca Rebecca: definitely yes
Jay Jay: holy shit

Jay: you guys aren't fucking with me, right?
Sam Sam: no

Sam: bucky is actually my boyfriend
Jay Jay: what the fuck
Rebecca Rebecca: does anyone need to say don't share that with people?
Jay Jay: no

Sam Sam: he is also obnoxious, though

Sam: someone should stage an intervention
Rebecca Rebecca: I did

Jay Jay: wait why? I thought bucky was your friend??
Sam Sam: it was an intervention to get us together
Jay Jay: rebecca

Rebecca Rebecca: jaime

Jay Jay: you got captain america and his partner together???
Rebecca Rebecca: no

Rebecca: I just told bucky to calm the fuck down and go talk to sam
Jay Jay: this is a lot
SamSam: everything involving bucky is a lot
Jay Jay: that's not actually what i'm talking about

Notes:

sorry, i meant to get this up earlier this week but monday was my birthday and i got sidetracked finally binging hawkeye and then writing a texting exchange between yelena and kate post-show when yelena is site seeing 😂 (which will be up soon). and also watching the first episode of ms marvel several times, bc i love it.
i'm planning to post again before the end of the weekend, but if i don't, i hope you all have a good juneteenth on sunday. 💖
also, if anyone was following justice ketanji brown jackson's confirmation, you might remember her talking about constance baker motley, who was the first black woman to become a federal judge. prior to her decades as a judge on the southern district of new york (which is one of the most influential federal trial courts in the country), judge motley spent 20 years with the NAACP LDF, including arguing 10 cases in front of the u.s. supreme court. (she won nine, and the one case she lost was later overturned.) a new biography about her came out earlier this year, which i really recommend if you're looking for a new book.
i hope you all have the best day available to you and are taking care of yourselves as best you can. thank you so much for reading!

Okay but I agree with Becca, I basically made heart eyes about “the apartment”.
Can’t wait to see what kind of shenanigans these 3 get up to, and Bucky’s response (honestly, probably just a little annoyed he wasn’t there to also be part of the shenanigans 😂😂😂)
Edited to add:can’t believe this was the first comment!! I’ve never been this early to anything in my life 😂

w00t! Sam's gonna give Jay a heart attack! w00t!
I love that Becca's gotten comfortable enough with Sam to tease him too. :p
LMFAO at this exchange:
"well, he's interrogated me multiple times about whether or not I'm dating, sleeping with, or otherwise involved with bucky, because he ships you and bucky and doesn't want me in the way"
"no offense, but I like how you'd be the villain of that story"
"nobody thinks "hey, it'd be cool to know bucky barnes's girlfriend," it's all "I hope you're not interfering""
Poor Becks. But it IS funny LOL
And OMG that preview. LOL I can't wait! weeeee!
*tells herself she can TOTALLY wait until monday... but hopes there's a bonus weekend post, cause she's a selfish, selfish bitch* :P <3 <3

  😂😂 well there's a reason it's "next" and not "monday" 😂😂 (i'm not sure - it depends on quickly i get through unpacking and some coursework - but fingers crossed! 💖)

I love everyone of these!! But I’m Jamie, running around flailing that I’m meeting someone cool! I can totally see him doing the Kermit flail when he finds out it’s Sam.

I loved this!!!! Sam showing up there is going to be hilarious. It’s cool that he’s starting to get closer to her as well.
Also, Jamie is right, Becca should totally date Darcy lol
I’m now wondering what Becca meant by saying “long story but he has Feelings about those kinds of questions,” like what’s the story there?

  he's overheard speculation (and, in a couple instances, has been directly asked) questions along those lines about her, which is obviously uncomfortable on a lot of levels. 🙃🙃 he enjoys shipping stuff, but he violently dislikes it when people take those kinds of conversations in the direct speculation about sex lives direction.

    Yeah, that'd be super uncomfortable and icky- speculating about celebrity's/public figure's sex lives is gross. I can definitely see Jamie being protective of her in situations like that.

I love Becca not forewarning her bro - she says it's because he's melodramatic, but it'd also be mega funny as a surprise! Also love that Becca can bond with Sam over how everyone tells her not to interfere with him and Bucky! She seems very resigned haha
Next fic sounds intriguing! (Not that they all aren't anyways) What did drunken Sam get up to? :P Am assuming drunk "I love this man, he has the best toes" or other similarly bizarre but telling posts :P

    I thought about that too. But in my head, Sam is the younger brother (not sure if birth order is specified in the TV show) and is in his late 30s or early 40s.
    And I see Becca as late 20s, maaaaaybe early 30s.
    Which would make Sarah 10-20 years older than Becca.

      yep, rebecca's early thirties - her teen years were all in post-9/11 new york. (i actually have a somewhat long exchange written about it, but i cut most of it out of the fic it was in before posting it - partially bc it seemed like unnecessary character development for someone who wasn't really a major character at the time and partially bc if i'm writing something about post-9/11 new york i need to make sure i'm being careful not to include potentially identifying information.)
      re: sam and sarah's ages - i don't think birth order is specified, but they definitely came off to me as being fairly close in age growing up, so even if sam was the older brother before the snap, i'd guess that sarah's older now.

Ahhhhhh, I can't believe you've gifted me yet another fic. I am absolutely floored, thank you so much!! Every time I get a notification of your fics, I feel lighter even if I can't read it right away. Just knowing that its there waiting for me makes me feel happy. Thank you!!!
Loved this fic, I swear I'm Becca, she can tone it down but you know she fangirls over their relationship every time just like the rest of us. (If the way she commented on Sam's use of 'the apartment' was any indication) Jamie is an absolute treasure, I swear he will expose Sam's identity the second he realizes who he is because he won't be able to keep himself from fanboying. (Once again love the sibling dynamic) Can't wait for the future shenanigans.
Glad the move went well, keep up the great work!!

Omg yess I do want becca and sam to be friends as well, and I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE GETTING THE TRIVIA AND SAM MEETING JAMIE AGHEHEUDUJRDKJDJD
For real though he does have to meet sam before he meets bucky cause they both will be chaos.
Jamie is gonna flip though we he meets captain America hahaha, becca is so evil and I love her for it.
Glad you are settling in okay in your move!

OMG I can't wait for the next part, the teaser already got me on pumped ahahah
I loved this part, we all love Becca, but I really like the developping friendship between her and Sam. And I have a very soft sport for her brother, I too would get mad at any family member if I suspected they could get between my ship.
Ugh also Sam pretty much confirming that he considers Bucky's appartment his, just like I feel that Buck feels at home at Sam's. My heart is once again melting from the smallest of "Buck and Sam are basically a married couple" moment.

I love how Becca talks about her brother.
And I’d love to have him talk to Sam about his Feelings in those sorts of questions, really enthusiastically but also awkward if that makes sense. Looking forward to trivia night whatever they talk about!
