    Summary

    “Sarah,” Bucky cut her off, his voice so close to a whine that she almost laughed. “I cannot do this.”

    She just stared at him for a moment longer and then shrugged.

    “Okay.”

    “Okay?” He stopped his pacing and turned to face her again, looking suspicious… and a little offended. “Okay what?”

    “Okay, you can’t do it, so don’t.”

    “What—

    “Don’t ask my brother out on a date. I mean, Sam’s literally Captain America, so it’s not like he’s hurting for admirers,” she said, laughing lightly. “If you can’t bring yourself to ask him out, then just… don’t.” She shrugged again. “Sam will be fine, trust me.”

    Summary

    It took everything in Sam to keep a straight face and not let his expression mirror her perplexed look. Because, what was going on? What was this? Sure, when Bucky and he had first separated, they’d had to sit down with Aisha and have this conversation together, and then he’d had to have smaller, more simple, versions of the same conversation without Bucky, on more than one occasion. But they were all a long time ago, at least they were all a relatively long time ago. As far as visitation and custody were concerned, things had been pretty settled for a while now. So where was this coming from?

    Or: Sam is just trying to do right by his family and his boyfriend.

    Summary

    Maybe Sam wanted him around again, maybe he wanted Bucky’s attention again, at least a little.

    Not that Bucky’s attention had ever really left Sam. The mere thought was laughable. Honestly, it was laughable that anyone that knew them would ever think that, especially Sam. But maybe Sam needed a reminder — of Bucky’s complete and unwavering devotion? Of his complete lack of chill when it came to Sam? Of the fact that he’d never really and truly leave Sam alone?

    And maybe Sam’s birthday was the perfect time for such a reminder.

    Or: If Bucky doesn’t have anything else, he’s got some nerve.

    Summary

    “You can’t get in trouble on your birthday.”

    Sam didn’t even bother responding for a second. Bucky was always saying crazy stuff like that. Maybe in the Barnes family you couldn’t get in trouble on your birthday, but Sam seriously doubted that his mama and daddy would feel the same way, especially about something like this.

    “Whatever, Bucky.”

     

    Or: Six birthdays Sam spent with Bucky, and one birthday he spent without him.

    Summary

    Luckily, well, luckily for Bucky anyway, there wasn’t anything normal or mature about the way he felt about Sam Wilson.

     

    Or: Sam’s ready to retire and start a new life, and Bucky feels some type of way about it.

    Summary

    It was a bit unnerving. Actually, it was all a bit unnerving to be honest.

    To be even more honest, the entire week had been kind of freaking Sarah the hell out.

    Was Sam about to kick the bucket from an illness he hadn’t bothered to tell anyone about? Or disappear on some months-long mission with Bucky? Was there another Thanos-level event on the horizon and he was just trying to get in some family time before he blipped again? What?

     

    Or: Sarah just wants to know what’s going on.

    Summary

    Just as Steve had suspected, Bucky had that dopey look on his face. The same far off dreamy look he always adopted when he was thinking about one particular co-worker.

    Welp. Steve hated to burst his bubble, but…

    “You know Sam’s going to the picnic, right?”

    “What?” Bucky asked, the chips he’d been about to eat suddenly forgotten. He didn’t even care that Steve had seen through him so easily. “No he’s not.”

    “Yes, he is.”

    “No. He’s not.”

    Steve rolled his eyes. “Yes, he is, Bucky. Fury made it mandatory for his team. Said something like: ‘if I have to go just because I’m a supervisor, then you all have to go too.’”

    Or: Wild horses couldn’t drag Bucky to this picnic, but Sam Wilson could… even without trying.

    Summary

    “You need to get laid.”

    Dum Dum didn’t even grant Bucky the courtesy of letting him drink his first shot of whiskey before those outrageous words were falling out of his mouth.

    “Sooner rather than later,” he tacked on, adding insult to injury almost as an afterthought.

    “Excuse me?” Bucky asked, adopting a blank expression.

    Truthfully though, he’d known this was coming. Well, okay, maybe not this exactly, but he’d known something was coming. When his buddies had all started texting him at once (and all somewhat out of the blue) earlier that week, he’d known something was up.

    Or: “It ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun.”

    Summary

    The first time Sam went on a date after his divorce from Bucky was finalized, he was excited. No butterflies, beads of sweat, or shaking hands; just an overblown anticipation for the night to come that couldn’t possibly be healthy.

    And it wasn’t. Sam just didn’t recognize that at the time.

    Oh, he knew he’d accepted his cousin’s offer to set him up on a blind date for all the wrong reasons alright, but in the moment he’d felt like he was justified in those wrong reasons. So, actually, they hadn’t seemed all that wrong at all.

    Or: Sam could be handling things better.

    Summary

    Sarah’s wedding was going to be the first big Wilson family event since his and Sam’s divorce. And, although Bucky might never admit it, she knew he was sad to have to miss it, to not belong anymore. So since she hadn’t been invited, because Sam was the only Wilson sibling she’d ever truly been friends with, Natasha figured she and Bucky could keep each other company. True, Bucky actually was invited, but there was no way he was really planning to show up, was there?

     

    Or: Bucky is definitely planning on showing up, but hopefully he isn’t planning on showing out.

    Summary

    Bucky didn’t even know he could get a crush on a celebrity, not at his age. And yet, he knew that was exactly what had happened. The way he soaked up every bit of information he could find about Wilson, and saved pictures of him on his computer (and phone and iPad), and felt oddly defensive whenever he read anything even the slightest bit negative about Wilson or his work. God, he hadn’t felt this way about someone he’d never even met and didn’t actually know since he was like thirteen.

     

    Or: Bucky’s just trying to get an autograph from his favorite author.

    Summary

    For the first time in more than three long and incredibly lonely years, Sam’s heart stuttered in a good way. And for a very brief moment, he wanted someone in a way he didn’t even think he was capable of feeling anymore.

     

    Or: Can Sam have just one day that goes as planned? Probably not.

    Summary

    Sam wasn’t there. In fact, his bed didn’t look slept in at all. Yeah, Sam was a neat freak, but the entire room looked eerily undisturbed, and it had Riley’s anger shifting to concern in a matter of seconds. What if Sam wasn’t ignoring his calls? What if he wasn’t answering the phone because he couldn’t answer the phone?

    “Did you actually talk to Sam this morning, Steve?”

    Steve wasn’t sure if he’d ever heard Riley address him by his first name, and he knew he’d never heard Riley’s voice address him, or anyone else for that matter, with such open worry.

    Or: Sam never thought a few missed calls would cause all this.

    Summary

    Sam was well aware he was flat out pouting, maybe even close to throwing a full-fledged tantrum, at least what could’ve been considered a full-fledged tantrum for him, but he simply did not care. In fact, considering the fact that he wasn’t actively cussing Bucky out at the moment, he figured he was behaving better than anyone should’ve reasonably expected.

    Or: Bucky is leaving, and Sam is telling it like it is.

    Summary

    “Wilson?”

    Bucky sounded surprised, but pleasantly so, and for some reason that had Sam’s eyes closing again while he silently counted to ten.

    “Fancy meeting you here,” he said, grinning down at Sam. “What’s going on?”

    Sam opened his eyes and sighed, but he also leaned back and settled into his seat. Forget moving; he wouldn’t give Bucky the satisfaction.

    Instead, he frowned at him and shot back, “What does it look like?”

    Or: Simpin’ ain’t easy, but somebody’s gotta do it… and that somebody is Bucky.

    Summary

    “You know what tonight is, right?” Steve asked, cutting him off.

    Bucky didn’t quite grunt by way of replying, but it was close.

    Of course he knew what was happening that night. He didn’t live under a rock. The whole country knew, and there wasn’t a New York native alive who wasn’t at least a little excited about it. Even people who had been calling the Knicks bums for the past twenty or so years were rooting for them. For the first time since nineteen ninety-nine, the Knicks had made it to the NBA Finals. Even more unbelievable, people who weren’t even from New York thought they might actually win it.

    And it was all thanks to Sam Wilson.

    Or: Ten years is a long time - maybe too long, but maybe not…

    Summary

    “Where is everybody?” Bucky asked, in as subtle a voice as he could manage.

    Going by the cheeky smiles AJ and Cas were throwing him, he wasn’t managing all that well.

    “You mean Uncle Sam?” AJ asked.

    Bucky turned bright red, and wished he hadn’t been so quick to take off his sunglasses. He couldn’t be one hundred percent positive what his face was saying to the boys, but he was pretty sure his expression had gone shifty at the question.

    Or: It’s simping time!

    Summary

    “Sam and Steve having one of their many ‘bro moments,’ while you stare at Wilson from the shadows like you can’t decide whether you want to take his head off or take him to bed,” she observed with a snort, then nudged his shoulder playfully with her own. “It’s all very nostalgic really.”

    “Then again,” she added thoughtfully, after a few seconds. “Is ‘nostalgic’ the right word if the staring never really went away in the first place?”

     

    Or: Bucky has had enough!

    Summary

    “The limit for Secret Santa is thirty dollars, Bucky.”

    “I know that,” he snapped, swiveling around in his chair to face Steve.

    “Then why were you adding a five-hundred dollar falconry excursion to your cart just now?”

    “For myself,” he said, defensively.

    Steve rolled his eyes. “Buck, everyone knows you’ve had an irrational hatred for birds ever since one crapped on your leg that time when we were eating ice cream on Mrs. Johnson’s stoop.”

    Or: Maybe some Christmas magic courtesy of Steve, is just what Sam and Bucky need.

    Summary

    When Bucky had asked if Sam minded if he took the lead on his special day because he wanted everything to be a surprise, Sam had been, well, surprised. No, they hadn’t been together on Bucky’s birthday, but Sam had insisted they hang out, and the whole thing was like pulling teeth — not the hanging out part, but the celebrating Bucky’s birthday part. So, yeah, Sam was definitely a little surprised by Bucky’s offer, but he had readily agreed. Birthdays were pretty much tailor made for surprises, and Sam wasn’t any more immune to enjoying them than anyone else.

    Or: Sam just wants to have a good birthday, Bucky just wants to give Sam, well, everything, and Sarah just wants Bucky to get it together.
