There are flowers on Sam Wilson’s doorstep. The flowers are from Bucky. Sam isn't exactly sure what that means.
The first chapter is shortly after Endgame. Then a time skip to events between/after Ep. 1.06 of TFAWS.
Or where Sam and Bucky get together after Tony's funeral but Bucky runs away before they can talk about it.
Once upon a time in a kingdom far away. Sam Wilson is a young officer of the King’s Royal Navy when his ship encounters a heavy storm and capsizes, drowning all of those on board except him. All he can clearly remember of the tragedy is waking up on a beach, a strong grip on his arm and a memory of steel blue eyes and a dazzling smile.
Fifteen years later, the truth about that night is finally revealed.
After the fight in New York, Sam needs some time to recuperate from the confrontation with the Flag Smashers. He decides to take the Paul & Darlene out to the ocean, and on Sarah‘s suggestion, lets his cyborg partner tag along, too.
Just a couple of guys, alone on a boat, for two weeks. What could possibly go wrong?
“I guess I’ll get going too, then,” Sam says.
“What?” says Scott. “You’re going to go back to yours?” He looks faintly horrified.
“Yes, should I not?” Sam asks slowly.
Scott wrinkles his nose. “Well, it’s your sister, man.”
Sam’s stomach drops. “What?” It’s his turn to say it, harsh and shocked. Maybe he shouldn’t be surprised. He’s had the thought before but pushed it away. He has seen Bucky flirt with Sarah, and Sarah not exactly spurn his advances — quite the opposite, in fact. It’s not like he thought Bucky had taken Sam warning him off seriously, but Sam hadn’t taken the flirting seriously, either. Hadn’t wanted to.
“Awkward,” Scott says, and then laughs, a mix of grossed-out and amused. Scott just thinks that for Sam this is the horror of realizing your best friend might be going to sleep with your sister. Not the pain of your best friend, who you are secretly in love with, taking your sister back to the apartment you share with him to sleep with her.
On a night out, Bucky and Sarah leave together. Sam fears the worst.
James Sebastian isn't happy when Alexander Pierce asks him to go undercover at a weekend wedding, but he can't say no to the leader of the Pagan biker gang. Pretending to be the boyfriend of a member of the infamous Crips is going to be hard since he's already got his hands full making sure Pierce doesn't find out that he's really Bucky Barnes, an NYPD cop. And finding his soul mate? Well, that's way down on his agenda behind not getting killed while trying to stop a gang war.
Thomas Mackenzie isn't happy when Barracuda asks him to go undercover at a weekend wedding, but saying no isn't an option to the leader of the Crips. Pretending to be the boyfriend of a member of the Pagan's biker gang is going to be hard since he's already got his hands full making sure Barracuda doesn't find out he's really Sam Wilson, an FBI agent. And finding his soul mate? Well, that's way down on his agenda, behind not getting killed while trying to stop a gang war.
With the New Avengers up and running, Sam finally has time to start dating again. Unfortunately, it's not going as well as he'd hoped.
The perfect man if what a person wanted was a three inch, chocolate, hanging ornament. Bucky twisted the box in his hands again, angling until he could read the words again. He’s sweet and decadently rich! Bucky snorted, he got by just fine, no need for riches he just wanted someone kind. Meet me under the mistletoe! He'd never tell anyone besides Natasha who had caught him in the act one year, but he loved those over the top holiday movies. He couldn't help wishing he'd end up in some ridiculous meet-cute and the hard work of finding someone wouldn't be his problem. He doubted it was in the cards for him, no one had even tried to set him up this year, they must have given up too.
“Happy Saturnalia to us,” he said, kissing Alpine’s head and taking the cat with him to bed. “You’re an okay cat for company, but I wish I really could find the perfect man.”
Bucky is in the middle of cutting out leaf shapes to stick on the top of his apple pie crust when, through his kitchen window, he sees an angel tumble down from the clouds.
It’s a gray skies kind of evening out in the country, with heavy rainclouds rolling in menacingly, so Bucky’s first thought when he watches a sizeable dark shadow slam right into the corn fields beside his house isn’t oh god, what was that? but rather oh god, is my house gonna be okay? I just bought the thing. But it’s definitely his second thought right afterward.
There’s absolutely nothing in the wake of the fall — no mushroom cloud of dust or dirt or ears of corn. He doesn’t think angel, initially. Obviously.
It’s probably some plane debris that thankfully fell a good few hundred meters from his roof; still, Bucky can’t help but spiral a little as he leans on the granite counter to get a better look out into the dim fog.
