Bucky Finds One Of Peter's Library Books Left Behind In His Apartment His First Morning Back From A Long

Bucky finds one of Peter's library books left behind in his apartment his first morning back from a long mission, and it leads to a confusing morning for both of them; the beginning of something even more unexpected than Peter becoming Bucky's cat sitter.

Part 2 of when you've nothing to remember, you've nothing to lose featuring Peter as Bucky's cat sitter and Bucky almost remembering Peter. Neither of them have enough emotional stability for this, but they have cooking and memories of women who cared for them as mothers to share...

For the @winterspider-bingo SFW Fill: In the Kitchen

(which I know isn't a row link with Alpine, this is just a good filler prompt)

current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.

I feel like if the actors read the script and think it's a joke then the writers in charge of the storyline in question should be contractually obligated to rethink that shit

Thanks for this!! Though I do want to add that I specified American citizens and the American government itself was among the ones Bucky was a part of attempting to topple, I don't know how much that would change things?

Many of Bucky's crimes as the Winter Soldier specifically targeted the US, so I was wondering if that would make a difference as I know that it's very lenient when it comes to other countries governments and citizens. Bucky is someone who has both unwillingly and willingly worked against the US on an extremely public level, which was mainly where my point lay.

I do think Bucky isn't in Congress willingly, there's got to be something else at play there, because there's nothing in canon to indicate he'd have any love for the US government (or any government anymore really, except maybe Wakanda), especially considering all Bucky knows about what the US has done to Isaiah, so similar to himself with HYDRA as it is, and want to become anymore of a cog in it. He looks like he's MISERABLE in the trailer and I'm thinking it must be because he doesn't want to be doing what he's doing.

as someone who knows very little about the American governmental system... is it even realistic that Bucky is a senator/candidate, outside of the simple fact that it goes against everything we know about his character for the last 13 years and is deeply ooc and weird?

Can someone with his history actually become a senator? Dude has killed like...a lot of people, specifically American citizens to keep it relevant to this context, and he's openly broken the law and gone against multiple governments in some of the most wild displays of anarchy alongside Steve and the Avengers. Also I don't think he's been a consistent enough resident of any state even if you take out the Blip?? At least 9 years right? Bro has maybe been on American soil for 3 years, pre AND post Blip, and that's being generous assuming Thunderbolts takes place in 2024-2025.

I don't know how realistic it is that he's even able to run for senate? I'm not an expert, not American, but it just seems absurd.

The main take really is that Bucky Barnes as a senator is one of the stupidest things, what the hell

Is it just me or does no one seem to remember that Bucky is an orphan? It's not even on the fandom wikis. I don't just mean the comics but in the MCU too, Bucky's always been an orphan, it's even mentioned in an interview. It paints him being the eldest of four and his protectiveness of Steve in a new light and generally how good Bucky is with kids too. The guy has serious "big brother who had to become a parent to his younger siblings" energy

the next installment of my winterspider series has taken such a meta turn thanks to those good old fourth wall breakers Walters and Wilson 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Peter and Bucky are each friends with the only genre aware beings in the MCU hell yeah
