The One With Ori's Boyfriend

The One With Ori's Boyfriend

Bucky meeting Ori's first serious boyfriend during college.

**************************

**************************

"I know she's gonna date. That's not the issue."

Y/n smiles as she mixes the salad in front of her.

"Well, what's the issue?"

Bucky huffs and leans his elbows on the counter next to his wife. "I don't even know this guy and he's been spending all this time with her?"

"I think that's the point of tonight, Buck. You're going to get to know him because he's important to her."

"Why ya gotta be all logical right now? I'm tryin' to be irrational before they get here so I don't act like an idiot and upset our daughter."

She grins and presses a lingering kiss to his cheek. "You won't do that. You're not that kind of man and we both know it. Just remember that while no one is good enough for our baby she loves him."

"She loves him?" Bucky whines and drops his head onto the counter.

None of this is fair. Why couldn't she have stayed nine years old forever?

The doorbell rings and Leo comes racing downstairs, sliding on the wood floor to get to the front door first. "I'll get it! I'll get it! It's sissy!"

Bucky wasn't far behind his boy.

"I missed you, too, bubba." Ori kisses Leo's cheek and sets him back on the ground. There's a tall boy looming behind her, nervous and looking a little green. Bucky likes that even though he doesn't want to admit it.

Ori beams at Bucky and throws her arms around his neck. "Hi Daddy."

Bucky kisses her cheek and wraps her in a bear hugs, lifting her feet off the ground for just a second. "Hi, comet. How's it goin' baby? They come and fix the radiator?"

Ori rolls her eyes but she's smiling fondly.

"Yes, dad. Cole was there when the guy came by because I had class."

Bucky did not like that. His job is to take care of Ori. Not some guy he doesn't know. Bucky could have came by but Ori called Cole instead. He swallows his irritation and meets the boy's eye, holding out his left hand, "I guess you're Cole? Thanks for taking care of my girl."

Cole leans forward and shakes Bucky's hand, firm and secure in himself despite the queasiness on his face. "I am. Of course, Mr. Barnes. It was no problem at all. I would rather be there than Ori handle it on her own with some strange guy."

Okay, Bucky likes that. He's not about to tell Cole that. Not yet anyway.

Y/n walks up behind Bucky and kisses Ori's cheek. "Cassie is upstairs pouting over last night. Nice to meet you, Cole. Though I've heard so much about you I feel like I know you."

The tension in his shoulders relaxes and he offers her a smile. "I'm sure my mom feels the same way about Ori. It's nice to put a face to your voice, Mrs. Barnes."

Bucky looks at his wife and raised a brow and she shrugs a shoulder. They would have to talk about that!

Ori looks at her mother and frowns. "Cassie is still upset?"

She looks at her daughter and smirks. "She loves her big sister and wanted to spend the night. What can I say?"

Bucky pats Cole on the shoulder and urges him inside. "Why don't you and I go have a talk outside while Ori wrangles her sister?"

Cole's eyes widen and he looks at Ori who smiles encouragingly. She already warned him. Her dad loves her quite a bit and is too sweet for his own good. Cole's got nothing to worry about.

"Yeah, sure, Mr. Barnes."

"None of that. Just Bucky. Save all that mister stuff for when you meet her uncles."

"Her uncles?"

Cole gulps.

"Oh, yeah. It ain't just me you gotta win over."

The two weeks spent at Heron’s Ford were both the longest and shortest of your life. You were reluctant to leave behind the crystal lake and the wading birds for which the castle was named. With your mother as your only companion, you whiled away the days and nights in a tenuous state of anxiety. The days ticked off until your inevitable doom.

Masterlist

The first time it happened, she’d been twelve years old and she hadn’t understood what was going on. For twenty-four hours she’d hidden in her room with the bedcovers drawn up over her head as she quietly sobbed into her pillow. She’d hoped and prayed that her mind had conjured up what she could only assume was a nightmare that she was unable to wake up from.

A New History of Fandom Purges

On November 24th, 2018, I posted a list of major deletions of sites or of content on sites that stripped fandom of its history. A bunch of pro-shipper blogs had just been deleted, and people were nervous. I suppose I was thinking “All this has happened before…”

On December 3rd, 2018, Tumblr’s Department of Irony announced the NSFW ban. Thanks for providing this salutary lesson to The Youth and a billion reblogs to me, I guess.

Today, we have AO3 for writing. Audio, images, and video are in as much danger as ever, yet fans attack AO3 every donation drive. For those of you who forget our past…

HERE IS WHAT HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US!

1992 - Chelsea Quinn Yarbro forces a zine to be destroyed

2018 - Tumblr announces NSFW ban

2018 - Wattpad deletes accounts/fics without warning

2019 - China purges weibo of m/m; more women jailed

This is only a small taste of the many times that:

Fannish moderators got bored, ran out of money, or had a falling out, deleting a site/list/forum along the way.

Sites got bought out and closed for being unprofitable.

Fandom got hit as governments targeted piracy or political dissidents.

Fans grudge reported each other.

Official forums got deleted when the canon finished.

It’s not always malicious. It’s not always about us. But we lose every time.

Some of these purges hit everyone. Many of them hit m/m content specifically or female gaze-y material in general. This is why antis are dead wrong. This is why anti-fujoshi policies end up being anti-m/m policies. This is why we need clear labeling, not content restrictions.

This is why we need AO3.

And it’s why we need a solution for audio, visuals, and video too.

Take Your Time

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary: Bucky braves a bar in Bucharest, unknowingly changing his life forever.

Warnings: alcohol, angst, mentions of abuse, mentions of cheating, mild smut

A/N: hello, everyone. This is the first time I’m posting a piece of writing on Tumblr. It’s inspired by the song Take Your Time by Sam Hunt. Please do let me know what you think, feedback is always appreciated. If I’ve missed any warnings, I’m so sorry, let me know. 

He had never been this far before. Perhaps far was too strong of a word, it was, after all, only across the street. And yet, to Bucky Barnes, it was as far as crossing the Pacific Ocean.  His heart was hammering like a freight train at full speed, threatening to burst out the confines of his ribcage as he placed a hand on the door. It wasn’t too late to change his mind, to turn around and run across the street and up the winding stairs back into the safety of the tiny apartment he was renting. But he willed his feet forward, not keen to spend yet another long night in the fragments of his lonely, jumbled mind.

The stench of cheap liquor and sweat hit him first, a few curse words and drunken chortles ringing through the air, punctuating the steady pounding of music. Bucky’s face involuntarily scrunched at that. He wasn’t sure what music he did like, but it certainly wasn’t whatever that awful electronic wail was. The other patrons didn’t seem to mind, too consumed in their beer to notice the man in a black baseball cap tentatively taking a seat closest to the door. He was so engrossed in scoping out an exit strategy, two or three in fact, that he didn’t notice her until she was waving her hand in front of his face.

Bucky jerked, trying to push down his instinct to throw his left fist at the sudden disturbance. She didn’t recoil. She didn’t even flinch. She held up her hands, as if to surrender, and then she smiled and he swore his heart stopped.

“What can I get you?”
