Hi, everybody!

Say hey, it's the birthday of the splendid musesfool, whose talent is prodigious and whose taste is exquisite. V, for you, a little bit of Steve Rogers in the kitchen. (My best thanks to the awesome tenaciousmetoo for the sharp beta.) It's a little gen, a little het, and a little slash - I hope you enjoy it! (Very vague

These are all beautiful and I love them. And I could totally see Sam doing the cherry stem trick; I am not sure why, but somehow that seems like something he would know.

she knew she could still turn him scarlet if she told him that he looked positively lickable.

Hahaha he would. I think Natasha should try it!

a bunch of oranges from the basket Pepper had put on the counter with a dark mutter of scurvy

Hahaha, I love how Pepper has become the world's grouchiest den mother in this story. The Avengers all need someone to look after them, and yet they are probably the most difficult-to-look-after people ever, of course they need their care-taking with a side order of dark muttering.

It was a masterful seduction, this pretense of bare-faced concern, as if there wouldn't be a price to pay for feeling safe and wanted.

Aw, Bucky. But of course he thinks that way. (And I love Steve's notes.)

Yay, thank you so much! I felt bad making Pepper the den mother, but she chose to get into a relationship with perennial manchild Tony Stark, so the rest of them needing her guiding hand couldn't have been too much of a shock.

And I'm glad that Sam pulling the cherry-stem trick sounded right to you! I could picture that pretty easily, perhaps because Anthony Mackie has that air of charming rogue about him.

Did I ever tell you I fell hook, line and sinker for CA: TWS? Not being a comic reader, when Bucky had died in the original movie, I remember feeling so disappointed. I'd wanted to see so much more of their friendship. Though we saw only glimpses of affection between them in TWS, the connection was palpable and Evans and Stan did fine work. I'd already become a fan of Sebastian by then.... Watching him in many, many roles but, guh, WS Bucky just floored me.

Love what you showed us here, capturing their connection beautifully.

Of all the Marvel movies, the only ones I truly love are the Captain America films, in part because I, knowing nothing about these characters because I'm not a comic-book reader either, was so totally invested in the story of Steve and Bucky about ten minutes into the first movie. Now that's good storytelling.

Thanks!
