modern au hipsters rogers and barnes
was talking to schwarzbrot the other day about modern aus and i’m not good with the hipster fashion game but hopefully it works, even with the differences in their clothing choices (also, steve’s jacket is a few sizes too large i hope that shows). kept steve small because reasons.
LOVE the wings on the headphones. I love their faces and Steve’s hair and I wanna lick Bucky’s ear.

brodinsons requested: post-tws bucky being a goober and picking steve up like he’s seen so many guys do with their girls/guys in and around new york just because he can and then kissing him because they’re sappy goobers c:
bucky’s trying to lean back in this kiss but steve’s not really letting him heave him up much. probably post-mission, hence the uniforms. sorry this probably wasn’t what you had in mind though it’s up goober alley :|a
for philcoulson, who has the headcanon of post-tws bucky (after SHIELD custody and moving in with steve i presume) acquiring a therapy dog for his ptsd. i missed out on the other descriptors you’ve included i hope you don’t mind.
natasha
azalea, nightshade, tiger lilysam
bird of paradise, delphinium, zinniafor the anon who asked if i was doing more (x), and visardist who suggested zinnias for sam (x) – i decided to add more variety for sam just because, while sticking to comic book falcon colours for the zinnias.
for natasha: azaleas for temperance and passion (apparently sending a bouquet of azaleas was quite a known death threat as azaleas are actually toxic), nightshade (as anon suggested) as its other name is belladona such that nat is as deadly as she is beautiful, and tiger lilies for her passion and feminity.
for sam: because the bird of paradise looks akin to a colourful bird in flight- that is what sam is: distinctive and spectacular, blue delphiniums for loyalty and levity, zinnias for goodness and constancy/lasting affection.
Steve
astra, forget-me-not, star of bethlehamBucky
sunflower, daffodilI wanted to make some flower crowns but I’m not very good with drawing or painting them- I’m sorry. forget-me-nots because it’s about enduring love and faith, star of bethleham because “illuminating” (and star), and astra is another symbol for star (lol), plus a talisman of love. daffodils because of forgiveness and its tenacity to return after the harshest of winter, and sunflowers because of its radiance and ability to lift spirits – though perhaps sunflowers would always be more true of pre-ws bucky. my original idea was to paint dead flowers for bucky but that would have been really, really dark.
Today I received an achievement sticker from falconinthedive I am very proud.
Notably, this is the same reward system Steve uses with the Winter Soldier.

“you bought what?” steve demands. he hopes no one notices his ears burning, even if he suddenly has to lean forward to put his elbows on his knees.
“it’s the twenty first century,” tony says, setting a tiny pink gift bag on the coffee table next to bucky, “think of it as an introduction to the modern age.” he points at steve. "remind me. did they have positions other than the missionary back in the day?“
"do you have a death wish,” bucky asks, but it’s such a flat intonation that it doesn’t sound like a question at all.
“you sure you don’t want to model for us?” tony asks.
“i don’t want to be in this room,” bruce announces, and leaves.
bucky crumples up the bag with his metal hand and throws it hard at tony’s face.

steve’s going through the last of some paperwork on his tablet computer in bed when the bathroom door opens. Steve glances up, looks back down at his tablet again—and then.
“bucky,” steve says, staring.
bucky licks his lips, tucking a thumb underneath the waistband so that it slides a little down his hip, revealing more of the hair leading down to where his cock is clearly outlined under the lacy fabric. the panties are the only thing that he’s wearing—dark against the pale skin of his upper thigh.
“um,” steve says intelligently.
bucky smiles a little then, advances on him. he crawls up the bed until he’s inches away from steve’s face, the tiny smile turning into a full blown feral grin. he leans in and breathes against steve’s ear: “don’t think i didn’t notice your reaction.”
“uh,” steve agrees articulately. his hands can’t help themselves, his palms slide over the lace covering bucky’s ass before squeezing lightly. bucky makes this soft, surprised noise and any coherent thought that steve might have been attempting to formulate evaporates away entirely.
“let’s ruin them,” bucky says against steve’s neck.

three weeks later, natasha knocks on steve’s door in the middle of breakfast. steve’s hair is still sticking up from sleep and bucky’s eating cereal with an array of knives waiting to be sharpened spread around him.
“this came for you,” natasha says, handing steve a box, “i’m not going to ask.”
steve looks down at the box from victoria’s secret and wants to die.
bucky shoves a spoonful of cheerios into his mouth and just smirks.
