Miss Velvet
Bucky Barnes x Reader
Y/N is a disabled equestrian and therapeutic riding instructor who helps Tony Stark with his PTSD after returning from Titan. When the Avengers bring everyone back he hires her to work with Avengers and SHIELD hires her as therapist and teaching basic riding skills because you never know when a horse will be the best mode of transportation.
Bucky Barnes is a manwhore who is enjoying his freedom for the first time in decades and pays no mind to y/n when she meets the team because he learned to ride from Hydra and too is busy pursuing his next conquest.
Post Endgame but everybody survived, because I said so. And Steve helped get Sharon Carter pardoned so they are together.
Chapter 11
Notes: I'm reposting this because the link is broken on the Masterlist for this story and I couldn't find the original post.
Velvets alarm went off and she groaned but when she tried to get up something was stopping her. Waking up a bit more she realized it was a metal arm holding her down.
"Bucky, honey, I have to get up and feed. So much to do today before Tony's Xmas Eve gathering tonite."
Bucky grumbled "No, no feed, no party things, sleep" and pulled her flush against him.
Velvet grimaced "But, Baby, it's Christmas Eve. We can sleep in a few days. I have to bake cookies and make fudge. It's tradition."
"How is it tradition when this is your first Christmas with the team?" Bucky mumbled.
Velvet whined "Because, it's what I do. My mom and I always baked goodies to take to work and school. She's gone but I must bake."
"Just five more minutes, Doll" Bucky tried to negotiate.
"Lazy damn supersoldier" Velvet smacked him on his right shoulder.
"Demanding woman" Bucky grunted
"And I'm all yours" Velvet grinned. "Come on! We have to get up. Unless you want to make me do all that work by myself" she pouted
"Fine! I'm up. Come take a shower with me."
"Sergeant Barnes! We don't have time for such activities. Get up!"
Once they finally got moving they found that Bobby had already taken care of the horses so headed back to the house for breakfast. Velvet started organizing the ingredients and dishes she needed to bake after turning on holiday music.
"Velvet, Doll. It's almost time to get going. Are you almost ready?" Bucky tapped on her bedroom door.
'What do you think Sarge? Do I look acceptable?'
Velvet walked out in a purple cocktail dress with black lace overlay, her hair down in the back and make-up simple. Bucky stared with his mouth open, his black suit with a pocket square that matched the color of her dress. His brain misfiring when he tried to speak so he ended up just grunting.
Velvet laughed "I'll take that as a yes. You look pretty drool worthy yourself."
Bucky shook his head "You just keep getting prettier every time I look at you."
"Such a charmer" Velvet blushed
"Shall we go?" Bucky offered his arm "Everything is in the car"
The compound was very festive with lights, trees, tinsel and red bows & ornaments everywhere. The whole team was in the ballroom, dressed to the nines and still sober enough to seem respectable but it was early. There were tables with finger foods and treats along one wall and a 20ft tree with presents under and around it. Holiday music was playing and everyone was excited for the evening.
After dinner, everyone was a little drunk and some were dancing for a little while until most were sitting on the huge sectional that was around the tree to make the gift exchange easier.
Everyone had their gift except Velvet until Tony handed her an envelope. Her brow crinkled.
"What's this Tony? The deed to my stable?" She joked.
"Not today. This is a Christmas slash birthday gift since your day is the 26th" he grinned
Velvet rolled her eyes "Wow, didn't expect a billionaire to need to combine gifts like my friends in high school did."
Tony scoffed "Just open it and take a look."
Velvet opened the envelope and read the paper inside, her eyes growing wider as she finished. "Are you for real, Tony?"
"Of course. I mean it was your boyfriends idea but yeah. Wanna tell the rest of the class?"
Velvet looks up at everyone "According to this, after brunch tomorrow we are all headed out on a chartered 747 to Disneyland until January 3rd. Staying in the special suites in the Disneyland hotel. There's the Fantasy Suite, Mickey's Penthouse, Pirates of the Carribean, Adventureland and Big Thunder. Plus my bday dinner at The Blue Bayou restaurant in the Pirates ride."
Everyone cheers and Sam's nephews & Clints kids start screaming "Disneyland! Disneyland! Disneyland!"
Velvet can barely contain herself "It's been years since I've been but my family used to go every year. Perk of growing up in So Cal. Y'all are gonna love it."
Tony claps "Alright kids, let's get some shut eye so Santa comes for the kids and we take off after brunch so get packed."
Velvet barely sleeps that nite, Disneyland holds so many special memories with friends and family, from her childhood.
After a hectic morning and brunch everyone heads to the airport, chatting excitedly about this trip.
Velvet wakes up on her 30th bday in one of the bedrooms of Mickeys Penthouse because Bucky is singing Happy Birthday with a huge cupcake with a candle lit. Velvet blows it out and kisses Bucky long and hard.
"Do we have to be anywhere this morning?" She asks Bucky.
"Yes, you and your lady friends are going to the spa at the Grand Californian for massages and other girly stuff today. We are all meeting at the castle at 7 for a group picture before dinner."
Velvet's phone rings "Oh, excuse my public needs me" and answers to hear a very off key rendition of Happy Birthday.
"Velvet!" Nat yells "Wake up, we have pampering to do"
The girls have a blast being pampered and drinking a whole lot of mimosas. Once they are done they head back to their rooms to get ready for dinner. Velvet has an off the shoulder, purple maxi dress and low heels.
"How do I look?"
"Like dessert" Bucky growls "Here, I have your bday present" and he puts an amethyst heart necklace on her.
"Oh, Buck, it's beautiful" She sighs
"Yeah, almost as beautiful as you. Now lets get going before we're late"
They meet the team at the castle and spend 10 minutes being posed by a photographer before he gets the shot he wants. Then all the families and couples take individual shots.
The theme from Beauty and the Beast Tale as Old as Time'(Angela Lansbury NOT Celine Dion) starts coming thru speakers all over Main Street, when Velvet and Bucky are the last couple to pose and when she looks over at him, he's on one knee. She looks around and everyone is watching them.
Bucky takes her hand "I know we've only been together for 5 months but I believe that when it's right, you know. Nothing in my life has ever felt so right.
Y/N, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Holding an amethyst engagement ring he looks at her with all the love he has.
Velvet starts crying and nodding her head "Yes. YES!" Is all she can get out. Bucky slides the ring onto her finger where it fits perfectly. She hugs and kisses him, speechless and so happy.
Applause breaks out, too much to be just the team and when Velvet and Bucky look around there are hundreds of spectators clapping and whooping for the happy couple.
The group heads to New Orleans Square but passes the entrance to Blue Bayou and Velvet speaks up "Tony, we passed the restaurant" but he shakes his head.
"Another little surprise, we are dining in Club 33 this evening"
"Oh my God Tony, I don't know what to say" Velvet tears up
"When you figure it out text me" Tony quips
After a wonderful meal the group gets ready to leave and Velvet groans "Buck, honey. Imma need you to carry me back to the hotel"
Bucky smiles, "Don't worry it's not far" and leads her up a set of stairs.
"Where are we going?" She asks, looking around
"You crazy kids are sleeping in Walt's Dream Suite tonite. Try not to scare the janitorial staff." Tony answers
The team comes up for drinks on the balcony so they can all watch Fantasmic!
Looking at her ring, Velvet sighs
"I can't imagine a better day. Can we get married here? Ooh, Tony do you know Steve Perry? Maybe he could sing at the wedding."
Bucky speaks up "You hear my girl, Stark? You're paying for the wedding too, right?"

2/xx, Charles I on horseback 1630s, royal collections trust
CW: historical ableism and medical abuse
This is partially inspired by a post by James-vi-Stan-blog regarding Charles and disability. Thus one is also loooong as there’s a lot to unpack to apologies in advance, gentle readers.
What did Charles I actually look like? More to the point, how visibly disabled was he?
This is actually a harder question to answer than you’d think. Charles is generally agreed to have been very short as an adult man, with estimates from 5’6” to 4’7” even with head still attached. His legs were short compared to his body and bowed. You can sort of see this in the above picture.
He also famously had some sort of speech issue, traditionally a stutter but possibly slurred speech from weakened facial muscles. This has often been an explanation for his refusal to explain himself and his secrecy. Like his father he considered playing to the crowds demeaning, hated the stigmatising stares directed at his physical body, and was fearful of assassins.
Charles has confused the situation considerably by trying to erase his own impairments and differences under a thick cloak of idealised portraits, elaborate court etiquette that prevented anyone getting too close in public, and the rare heavily stage managed public appearance. To say nothing of the Van Dyck portraits that have been heavily face tuned, an equestrian statue commissioned by one of his ministers to flatter him, showed him absurdly as 6 feet tall - it still stands in London today.
However, even in his own lifetime, parliamentarian propaganda painted him as the second coming of Richard III (who we now know had severe scoliosis and was also quite short), or as a weak legged, tongue tied fool. The block at his execution was deliberately low to force him to lie down as opposed to kneeling to humiliate him. But what lies between these extremes?
Rickets as a knock on from a tongue tie is often put forward as the main explanation for his restricted growth and atypical proportions as an adult, but other explanations have been proposed including cerebral palsy, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, or some sort of hereditary neuromuscular disorder.
As a child and young man Charles was subjected to a number of proposed interventions including having the ligament under tongue cut (thankfully James was talked out if this), leg braces (reinforced boots were used instead), and talking with pebbles in the mouth (that ones from Plutarch and I think George vi tried it too).
The party line was that he grew out of it and that he was athletic as an adult. This isn’t totally impossible but seems to rely on the idea you can’t be both disabled and physically active. I personally believe that these were lifelong issues and Charles simply was good at finding accomodations and shortcuts to get around problems. The cane he is often shown with in portraits was probably to help him stand up and maintain balance. The stigma and bigotry he would have faced was a bigger issue as Charles himself seems to have internalised a lot of these beliefs about himself and people like him.
James found Charles to be the child he most resembled and his feelings about this were complicated to say the least. Although James often defended Charles against insults and abuse and tried to protect him to the extent of infantilising him instead of preparing him to be king; it’s also hard to avoid the fact that seeing himself reflected to this extent in his son and later heir was deeply disconcerting for James.
For example in 1616(?), in an attempt to complement James, a Latin pangeryc (praise poem) referred to Charles as a miniature James - James was far from impressed and in fact took it as an insult.
This is one of the (many) reasons why James turned his younger lovers into surrogate sons - they were not political threats like Henry, and did not make him uncomfortable like Charles.
Indeed the whole family seem to have found him an embarrassment. This really should not come as a surprise given how obsessed with image and status they were. Anna and Elizabeth just seemed to have ignored him, and Henry seems to have had a particular contempt for him, something Charles seems to have found particularly wounding.
Indeed, Elizabeth only really tried to connect with Charles when she needed his help after the “getting exiled after picking a fight with the emperor” debacle; which tells you a lot. For some time she fancied the idea of herself as the next monarch after her father - this is how little she thought of him.
The below picture is of the second to last king of Italy Victor Emmanuel III, another unloved child, failed king, and survivor of rickets - he is is the closest analogy to what I would imagine Charles to look like in terms of physical proportions as an adult. VE3 is the small ne on the right, Albert of Belgium is on the left.
Well Yeah. It’s not hard to imagine why Charles would not have inspired confidence in his elites, why he was generally regarded as sexually incompetent, or why he resorted to elaborate tricks and contrivances to hide himself away. He was unable through no fault of his own, able to physically embody what his contemporaries expected of a king; he also spent most of his life with his communication needs unacknowledged and unmet.
I personally think one of the reasons so many assumed George had the upper hand in their relationship was due to the vast differences in size between the two men. It’s also IMO one of the reasons why so many choose to believe Henrietta was an adulteress - a lot of people then and now could not imagine Charles as being able to inspire sexual passion due to his disabilities.
We need to start acknowledging the realities of Charles disabilities but also start combating and unpacking the ableist bigotries and stigma that have shaped our perception of him as well. Charles’s disabilities and childhood chronic illness (I refuse to use the word sickly) are often treated by historians as a failing of character and an outward marker of his personal inadequacy and political ineptitude, usually with little or no indication of what’s being implied about PwDs in public life and politics. Given how few openly disabled politicians and leaders (and indeed professional historians) we have this can’t just be coincidence.

I think there’s a good chance that I’ll have chapter 2 of ‘blue jeans n’Texas dreams’ out this evening! Yesterdays chapter took me under an hour to write and I really wanna take a break from all the angst LOL
Raise your hand if you caught my little easter egg in chapter one 👀 actually, there were like multiple but the main ones were :
1. Sarah having purple nail polish on (if you read burning burning in a hopeless dream, you’ll see why the color purple is significant)
2. Long Long Time by Linda Ronstadt playing in Joel’s truck
3. The horses we have been introduced to so far, are all named after Pedro characters 😌 we have Javi P, the mean chestnut OTTB, his brother Javi G, and we have Ezra, the readers horse who is a 16 hand high Hanoverian.
This just means there are other horses with Pedro character names that have yet to be introduced….👀
Fun fact: I have been riding horses since I was about 7 years old! I used to train at hunter jumper barns but I broke my wrist in two spots after falling off sometime in 7th grade. I had to take a break from riding and started to take lessons at my aunts barn while I was in college.
Winter of 2021 to March 2022 I worked at therapy barn called “Dream Riders” there were a few horses that were rescued and the rest were donated. The center was also a non-for profit and we offered riding lessons and therapy sessions for children with disabilities :) I drew my inspiration for this story through my experience as a horse girl/equestrian and my time at the therapy barn!
I’m so touched to see that so many of you are enjoying this story so far <3
I appreciate the feedback so much! 🩷

Empathic Canine
Request: Hey, could I request a thing for X Men where the reader is a female mutant who can transform into animals, and she stays with Hank and Charles during the 60’s and 70’s? Like maybe a scene where the reader is comforting Charles or working in the lab with Hank. Please keep it platonic! Sorry I couldn’t get to you in the requests, it doesn’t seem to work for me.
Plot: Reader can turn into different animals on command and transforms into a dog to comfort her friends Charles and Hank when the school is closed down before Days of Future Past.
Blog Tag: @curiouser-and-curiouser
A/N: This is only platonic, please don’t get the idea I am writing furry fanfiction.
Warnings: None.
Word Count Total: 530
Short Imagine #226
Title: Empathic Canine
After the School for the Gifted had closed, Hank had contacted you and asked for you to stay and help. He was designing a medication to let Charles bypass his disability and walk again. He was attempting to assist in a new healing treatment for his spine, but at the moment, it was temporary and inhibited any use of Charles’s powers.
An awfully strange type of medication, but you had let it slide. If his powers were all in making his legs move with the medication, who were you to question the treatment?
At least, that’s what you had said to Hank.
While you weren’t as proficient in mutant science as Hank was, you were best at knowing how to comfort people. Your empathic abilities came along with your… other talents.
“Ah, Y/N! Come in.” Hank greeted you at the front door to the mansion and assisted you in bringing in your luggage. It had been a few years, but this nerdy man hadn’t changed a bit.
“What can I help with, Hank?”
“Ever since the school closed, Charles hasn’t really been himself. We need your emotional expertise.”
“Show me the way.”
You sensed Charles’s despair and hollowness before you even got halfway down to Hank’s lab.
“Hank, where did you get off to?” a voice with a British accent came out of the lab, a clear sound because of the open door. You followed Hank off the stairs and through the doorway.
“Hank, I told you, I don’t need my powers, I’m fine the way -” he stopped as soon as he saw you. “Who are you?”
“Charles,” Hank said before you could speak and wrapped an arm around your shoulders, “this is my old friend, Y/N. I asked them here to help.”
“I don’t need help.”
“I can sense it. You do. You’re feeling lost even with your legs back.” You interrupted him.
Hank sat in one of his lab chairs and watched the exchange go from dismissive on Charles’s part and insistent on yours to agreeable and persuasive.
“So what can you do besides feel others’ emotions?”
“I can turn into animals.”
“Any kind?”
“Yep. Let me show you.” You stepped out of the lab and around the corner.
Your fingers shrank and hair grew over them, your back arching over and soon, you had transformed into a Border Collie. Now in the form of a dog, you trotted back into the lab and curled up at Charles’ feet.
“Is this a thing Y/N normally does?”
“Has for years. As long as you don’t try to pet her any further than her ears, you’re fine.”
“Do you realize how weird that sounds, Hank?”
“I sure do, but it’s not my place to judge. Have you seen my other form?”
Charles laughed and reached down to gently pat your head, albeit awkwardly. You preened and Charles laughed.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog smile like that before.”
“And you never will again,” Hank assured. You didn’t try to say one word, you just kept your canine form, as you could feel a calm washing over the other man. Hank winked at you and you winked back.

It's Cultural & Culinary Delights For Harry and Meghan In Rabat!
New Post has been published on https://harryandmeghan.xyz/its-cultural-culinary-delights-for-harry-and-meghan-in-rabat/
It's Cultural & Culinary Delights For Harry and Meghan In Rabat!
For their final day in Morocco, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex carried out several engagements in Rabat celebrating young people and Moroccan culture.
They kicked off the busy day with a visit to the Royal Federation of Equestrian Sports.
From there, the Duke and Duchess visited Villa des Ambassadors in Rabat for a cooking demonstration.
The couple were joined by renowned chef Dar Moha. Harry was already familiar with his work as he visited his restaurant in Marrakesh before the royal wedding.
The couple saw how traditional Moroccan cuisine is supporting young people and teaching children from under-privileged backgrounds a new skill. Meghan is passionate about food bringing people and communities together. During the launch of Grenfell cookbook Together, she said: “This is more than a cook book and what I mean by that is the power of food is more than just the meal itself it is the story behind it. And when you get to know the story behind the recipe, you get to know the person behind it and help us celebrate what connects us rather than divides us. That is the ethos of Together.”
It seemed only fitting for the group to prepare one of the recipe’s from Together. They chose the pancakes with honey and almond butter by Cherine Mallah (which reminds me Shrove Tuesday is next week).
When Harry sampled one Meghan laughed and said “Big bite”, Harry replied “It’s a bit late now”.
[embedded content]
They sampled an array of dishes including spicy creations and a pigeon pastilla which Meghan called “delicious”
A group of young chefs from Hadaf.
‘Hadaf supervises 85 people suffering from moderate or mild developmental disabilities, many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“It all started with my daughter, who has a mental disability,” says Amina Mseffer, president of the association. When she could not put her daughter at school because people were scared to have a disabled person with the other children, Mseffer said, she decided to put her in a special institution. But this was expensive, and stops when the person is 21 years old.
So she joined forces with relatives and friends and in 1997, they created Hadaf, which means “goal” in Arabic, but also stands for “Association of parents and friends of mentally disabled people.” Help and donations have come from official institutions, companies and even the Moroccan king and private donors, including nearby mosque-goers.
In 2005, Hadaf set up a social-professional center in the Hay Nahda neighborhood of the capital Rabat, housing various workshops and courses including jewelry making, sewing, decorative painting and carpentry.’
The couple met representatives from the organisation.
The Mail Online reports:
‘Inside they walked around the stations and chatted to the young cooks, aged between nine and 18, stopping to try mince and onion pastries (Harry) and Harira – a spicy chickpea soup (both). Chef Moha handed them each a decorated ceramic bowl to try and they each took a sip. ‘C’est delicieux,’ said Meghan in French. ‘What’s in it?’ asked Harry, before joking, ‘It’s a secret recipe!’
One child said something in Arabic to the chef, who turned to the Duke and said: ‘He finds you a very good person. ‘He is a good person,’ smiled the Duchess, putting an affectionate hand on her husband’s arm.
‘Harry and Meghan took up the offer of a meal for ‘the whole family’ from top chef Moha Fedal, who hosts the North African nation’s version of Masterchef. He told the couple: ‘I hope to cook for you next time,’ as they joined him for a cookery demonstration with underprivileged children in the capital Rabat.
The Duchess replied: ‘The whole family next time.’ The chef said: ‘You come with your baby to Marrakesh next time’ referring to the fact that the prince is believed to have visited in 2018, just before his wedding.
‘We would love to,’ said Meghan. ‘Come with your baby and I will cook for all three,’ he told Harry as he joined them. The Duke – clearly inspired by the delicious spread he had sampled – replied: ‘We will cook for you!’
The Duchess gave Chef Moha a copy of Together. She wrote: “Chef Mohar. Wishing you continued success and congratulating you on your incredible work in engaging the community in cooking. All the best. Meghan”.
In return, He gave her his book Le Vrai Goût du Maroc.
A group photo.
For their final public event, the Duke and Duchess met young entrepreneurs supporting youth empowerment at an arts and crafts market in the Andalusian Gardens in Rabat.
It was a quick change of clothes for Meghan.
They enjoyed a traditional musical performance upon arrival.
The beautiful Andalusian Gardens provided the perfect backdrop for the engagement.
Omid Scobie shared these stunning photos on Twitter.
Harry and Meghan’s names in Arabic.
As they viewed local arts and crafts, the Duchess was given a necklace. Of course, Harry was on hand to assist…
They were given an array of items including a bronze plate representing British – Moroccan friendship.
Meeting local craftspeople.
Royal reporter Rebecca English noted Meghan was particularly impressed by one pair of shoes.
The couple discussed sustainability. More from the Mail:
‘Harry spoke as he and the duchess met entrepreneurs in Morocco who have started companies aimed at tackling the country’s social, economic and environmental problems. Talking to Youssef Chaqor, who runs a recycling company called Eko-Geste, Harry said: ‘You need to put more pressure on the big companies.’
He said that while big companies might give money to environmental projects, ‘they are still producing single-use plastic bottles.’ He added: ‘Go to the source!’
Looking at a stand which featured wallets and shoes made from cured fish skin, the duchess told PhD student Nawal Allaoui: ‘It’s very clever.’ Meghan asked what happened when it got wet, but she replied: ‘It’s waterproof.’ Harry congratulated her on moving away from snakeskin and crocodile skin.
Meghan said: ‘It’s really amazing not to use exotics like that, and instead use something sustainable that would otherwise go to waste. But they still have a fashionable impact.’
Victoria Murphy shared a look at some of the young entrepreneurs.
Many of the people they met are working to address youth unemployment and involved in creating new initiatives.
People reports:
‘Silver craftsman Sakhi Driss had a photo of Harry’s father, Prince Charles, on display from when the Queen’s son visited his store in Fez. Driss said of Harry, “He asked when the visit was and where was the picture taken.” At one point, Harry jokingly shielded his eyes as the sun reflected off one of the silver pieces – and Meghan learned that it takes about six days to make one tray.
At one of the first stops in the fabulous walled gardens high above the coast with the Mediterranean sea, they were handed two embroidered foot cushions – which will perhaps come in useful in their new home, Frogmore Cottage in Windsor Castle. “They were interested. They asked many questions. It was a great pleasure to see them,” Ismail Boudrous from the social enterprise says.’
This video opens with footage of Harry and Meghan meeting two darling little girls.
[embedded content]
For Meghan’s looks today she opted for a mix of new and old pieces. This morning’s engagements saw the Duchess in casual attire including a striped sweater and black jeans.
The Duchess wore her hillside green J Crew Field jacket. Meghan’s had the piece since 2016 and was photographed wearing it several times in Toronto before the engagement.
After numerous searches, Michelle from Perth Fashion identified Meghan’s breton top as the Equipment Lucian style.
Meghan wore the Stuart Weitzman Brooks Suede Boots (with thanks to UFO No More). The almond toe boots are available in very limited sizing at Saks Fifth Avenue.
And accessorised with her Ecksand Tresses yellow gold earrings.
For the afternoon’s engagement, Meghan changed into a more formal look. Initially it was thought Meghan’s dress might be a re-purposed Givenchy piece, however it turns out she wore the Loyd/Ford Pleated Dress (with many thanks to eagle-eyed reader Jennifer).
The pleated chiffon dress is currently reduced from £432 to £324 at ShopBop. It’s also available in pink.
You can see the thin strap on Meghan’s dress in the photo below.
The Duchess wore the Artizia Babaton Keith jacket she debuted for a polo match in 2016. It is described as “This take on the tailored blazer does away with a standard collar and plays with architectural tailoring. The Japanese basketweave fabric is textural and fluid, emphasizing the weighted drape.” It retails for $198.
Meghan wore her Manolo Blahnik Carolyn Black Satin and Velvet Polka Dot Slingback Pumps.
And accessorised with the $200 Gas Bijoux Onde Drop earrings (with thanks to UFO No More and Meghan’s Fashion). For US shoppers they are discounted by $50 with code FASHION at Neiman Marcus.
Harry and Meghan will meet with the King this evening. I expect we’ll see photos.

The verdict is in.....lower interest rates...Historically LOW! It’s the time to buy and borrow cheap money and loans. 💰🏡 If you can qualify for a home loan there’s absolutely no reason 😆 or excuse or justification in the world not to buy🏦 Unless...you like working so hard and throwing all your money away on rent. Making your landlord rich & giving you no opportunity to save a lot of money and build equity. If you want to get old and live off Social Security and disability then keep renting. You want to build wealth 💴 have a beautiful home, in 15 years buy another home, refinance or upgrade that home by a second rental property! REal estate is the ONLY path to wealth in America ... the sooner you start the sooner you’ll begin to build wealth. Sooner you can retire🎉 (Seriously!) Don’t worry about high home prices! And PLEASE don’t think you, Or your agent or your lender or your brother or your financial advisor or your palm reader knows what’s going to happen. no one has a 🔮 crystal ball. We do not know that the markets going to crash in six months and that you’re going to wait for prices to come down because you just don’t have a crystal ball 🔮 and we have no idea what’s going to happen. Bottom line is if you work with an agent like me we can always find a good deal in any kind of market. Pre- default, short sale, probate, rehab opportunities, fixers...there is always a good deal in any kind of market if you work with somebody that’s willing to do the work. Me.

Miss Velvet
James "Bucky" Barnes x Reader
Summary:
Y/N is a disabled equestrian and therapeutic riding instructor who helps Tony Stark with his PTSD after returning from Titan. When the Avengers bring everyone back he hires her to work with Avengers and SHIELD hires her to train their agents as therapist and teaching basic riding skills because you never know when a horse will be the best mode of transportation.
Bucky Barnes is a manwhore who is enjoying his freedom for the first time in decades and pays no mind to y/n when she meets the team because he learned to ride from Hydra and too is busy pursuing his next conquest.
Post Endgame but everybody survived, because I said so. And Steve helped get Sharon Carter pardoned so they are together.
WARNING: Swearing, Medical marijuana use. Maybe more in later chapters.
1900ish words
Notes:
I haven't written in many years and don't know what I'm doing here. This idea came to me from some of my personal experience as a disabled equestrian who volunteered at a therapeutic stable and was awestruck and inspired by the people and animals there. Maybe I can use my love of the MCU and share the joys of therapeutic horsemanship. With any luck I will be volunteering at a new stable, since we moved away from the first one, and that will help inspire me.
Idk how long this will be or if I can keep the idea moving in my brain.
I'm open to constructive criticism but please be kind. I could use some help with formatting and how to make a break.
Here goes nothin.......
Chapter 1
Today, Y/N aka Velvet, is starting her biggest project yet. After extensive discussions with Tony Stark and Gen Ross for the last month, agreements were finally reached and she will be working with SHIELD agents to give riding lessons to any agent that isn't proficient AND equine therapy for physical and mental health concerns when deemed appropriate.
She never imagined that she would end up working with Tony Stark to help his PTSD after Thanos, when she stopped by the veterans ctr a few months after half the world disappeared. She only stopped by in hopes that Sam Wilson would be there. They met a few times when she was in DC lobbying to have therapeutic horsemanship covered for veterans. Velvet found out Sam had been taken in the snap and ended up making friends with Steve Rogers. He contacted Pepper and gave her Velvet's number to see if she could help Tony who wasn't doing well after everything that went down. Steve also introduced her to Nat and they bonded over multiple trail rides and girls day/nites.
Velvet was hoping that everyone would be receptive and that she could help them. Staring in the mirror, trying to look good without looking like she's trying, while being ready to head over to her stable for orientation. Sure seems like all of the Avengers rolled an 18 charisma because how could so many of them be so pretty? More intimidating than any actual powers they might have.
She sighs, fixes her long hair into a French braid, uses her moisturizer/sun screen, some mascara and a light dusting of powder accepting that she's too tall and plain looking to be noticed anyhow. Jeans, tank top with a purple flannel and purple boots that match her belt with the Disney belt buckle is her 'uniform'. Throwing her cane and couple of edibles in her bag, in case the pain gets bad she grabs the keys to her little SUV and heads over to the compound. It's only a couple of miles but she has too much to do later and doesn't want to start the day angering her back or knee walking.
Presentation with all available, lunch with the Avengers and then a tour around her stable with the mightiest heroes. Busiest day she's had in awhile.
First, a large meeting introducing her to all the agents that are on-site and letting them know about her and the stable she runs. All of the agents are required to have at least one lesson with her to evaluate their riding skills to ensure they are at least competent. Those who need further instruction will be scheduled for lessons.
Yn also talks about therapeutic horsemanship and how she can help with physical therapy after injuries and on the ground work for PTSD and other mental health concerns.
Last but not least, a meeting/lunch with the Avengers.
Back to the stable after lunch to give a tour to the Avengers. Answer questions, schedule lessons and evals for each of them.
Velvet also ran a stable closer to the city for special needs and at risk youth but was only able to be there 1-2 days a week since her contract with SHIELD stipulates that she personally oversees any lessons or therapy for their agents. Her former trainer and mentor, Mike, is in charge of that site but she has him onsite to meet the SHIELD crowd.
The presentation with agents and team leaders goes well. All she has to do is get thru this luncheon with the Earth's Mightiest Hero's and she can go back to the stable where she is in her element.
When she gets to the conference room she can hear that they all seem to be in good spirits which is a good start. Y/N takes a deep breath, slowly releases it and walks through the open doorway. As soon as she's in the room everyone quiets down and looks over at her while she smiles and looks at Tony.
Tony speaks up, "Alright campers, I'd like to introduce a new official member to our family that's actually been with us since right after the snap. This is Y/N, aka Miss Velvet, our own Horse Whisperer. Y/N, you know Steve and Nat so there's Wilson-"
"Oh, I know this lady" interrupts Sam. "Shes done some good lobbying work to push the VA to cover therapeutic horsemanship for Vets. Used to stop by the Center for lunch whenever she was in town." He gets up to give her a hug.
"I told you I'd get you on a horse one of these days, Sam" Y/N threatens with a big grin.
"As I was saying" Tony speaks up "after Wilson, there's Barnes" looks up, gives her a once over, smiles and says hi. "Wanda, Vision, Barton, Banner and the spider kid."
Everyone smiles, says Hi and Y/N smiles back at them goes on to explain the program, that everyone needs to be evaluated even the Avengers. She also touches on the benefits of therapeutic horsemanship in the saddle and on the ground. Giving some examples of the benefits she herself has seen, for her rehab after the accident and some of the riders she has worked with. Keeping details generic to keep OSHA from coming after her.
Y/N has a smile and glows when talking about her work making it obvious how much she loves it.
Bucky speaks up "I learned how to ride in Hydra so don't need any lessons"
When she asks if there are any questions, Sam speaks up "what's up with the aka Miss Velvet?"
Velvet smiles, "that will be up to me, everyone needs to be evaluated, even Fury had to ride and he's a natural"
Bucky frowns and shrugs, "if you say so."
Y/N smiled "I started riding and fell in love with horses when I was 6. When I met my partner Mike, I was a troubled teen with a serious case of horse fever but was also being pulled in another direction that included older boys, alcohol and weed. After getting busted skipping school, my mom sent me off to work at a stable where her boyfriend was working, for 'punishment'. Mike was the head trainer and saw something in me while I chatted with the horses as I mucked out stalls. He took me on, upped my training and we became close. I started calling him Mi, like Mickey Rooney's character from National Velvet. He started calling me Velvet and it stuck."
Lunch was great, Y/N had finally relaxed when it felt like the team accepted her and enjoyed the camaraderie and banter.
Y/N stands up and gets ready to leave digging for an edible to ease the pain from the stress that has held her since this project was mentioned to Ross.
"Alright, lunch was delicious but I need to get over to my stable before the team leaders show up and start getting into things or upset Mi. I'll see y'all there around 3." Y/N says as she stands up to leave. Everyone says goodbye as she walks out.
3pm
Shortly before 3 people start pulling up to Velvet's home and stable. She walks out with a cheerful black pit bull by her side. "Don't worry, Indy won't hurt anyone unless I tell him to or they try to hurt me."
Indy almost knocks Nat down in his excitement to see her and he insists on going around and checking everyone out before they pass thru the gate.
"The old man over here is Mike, my mentor and adopted uncle and might step in sometimes if I'm not available."
Velvet shows everyone where the tack room is "for those who aren't really familiar with horses, tack is what we call the saddles we sit on and the bridles we use to control the horse."
She introduces them to some of the horses "First is Duke, he's a thoroughbred cross and was my first therapy horse after my accident, also the oldest here at 25. Next is Laredo a quarter horse, mostly, and he's 19. Heidi is a Norwegian Fjord, who is much stronger than she looks and 12. Bubbles is a mutt who was found wandering after the snap, we figured his owners were gone, and is around 16."
Tony interrupts, "Don't you mean Ozzy?"
Shaking her head in replies "that's your nickname for him, Tony, not his actual name."
"Ozzy is a way cooler name than Bubbles. Who names a boy horse Bubbles?" mumbles Tony.
Velvet shakes her head, "anyhow, last but def not least is my girl Lexi, she's a Gypsy Vanner and Tennessee Walker mix that Mi gave me because she has a smooth gait that's easy on my back. I'm the only one who rides her unless you really impress me or suck up in a major way. There are more but they're at the other stable while Tony completes the rest of the upgrades he insists on making."
Tony scoffs, "you'll love that covered, temperature controlled arena when it's freezing outside or raining. Besides, Morgan needs a safe place for her lessons"
"So, who wants to schedule their evaluation? I have more tours with SHIELD tomorrow but we are pretty clear after that. Or you can call, text or email me and let me know but I'm supposed to get everyone evaluated within 90 days so don't dawdle."
"You want to go out and get dinner with us, Y/N?" Asks Nat.
"Thanks, Nat, but my back has had enough for today so I'm going to go take a hot bath, throw some jammies on and order in" Velvet replies
"We could just hang here then" offers Steve.
"As long as y'all can handle a slightly messy house, a dog who's allowed on the furniture and me in my comfy clothes. In fact, you big strong hero's can help me feed these beasts"
Velvet shows them the feed shed and the chart listing what each horse gets for supplements in addition to their hay.
Once everything is cleaned up they head across the yard to Velvet's house. She leaves them to order pizza and jumps in the shower insyead of a bath since she has company waiting. The heat helps relax her muscles some but its been a long day and shes hurting so pops a candy while she dries her hair.
Yn throws on some shorts, a big t-shirt and some fluffy slippers then walks out to ask "is the food here yet? I'm starved. I hope you ordered some drinks because I have water, nonfat milk and some teabags."
"Don't worry, I remember your distaste for grocery shopping" Steve soothes.
Once the food arrives and everyone is sitting around the living room which has a couple of loveseats and a nice recliner which Velvet advised is her spot.
Bruce asks, "Why is the dogs name Indy? Are you from Indiana?"
Laughing, Velvet tries to reply but is interrupted by Peter trying to sound like Sean Connery but failing miserably, "We named the dog Indiana."
Velvet laughs at his terrible impersonation saying "One of the best movies ever, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I have it if you wanna watch" seeing that it's almost 10pm. "Nevermind, not tonite, us horse crazy girls have early mornings."
Everyone helps clean up the trash and says goodnite. Velvet goes to bed after hitting a joint a couple of times and reflects on how well the day went, then dreams about bright blue eyes.

All the OC questions with the selkie fam, which includes the 3 bros, Irena, and Anneliese, and also the boys mom if she's developed enough
HECK Y’ALL KNOW HOW TO DELIVER
*these asks are from this post in case anyone wants to either send more or reblog the original
unfortunately i’m going to skip their mom for now just because she’s not developed enough :’c
1. Do any of your OCs have a speech impediment?
elian: nope! but megan suggested he sound congested all the time because of the ridiculous sounds weddell seals make
abbe: none
roland: none
irena: none
anneliese: none
2. Do any of your OCs have a physical disability?
elian: already answered!
abbe: none
roland: none; im suddenly considering giving him bad eyesight though #glasses_roland2017
irena: none
anneliese: none
3. What is your OCs favorite band if they have one? (i’m answering this assuming they have access to the broad variety of music we have)
elian: i feel like he would like the sound of bands like fall out boy, daft punk, imagine dragons etc. but he would like the lyrics of twenty one pilots more because he relates to them the most
abbe: bryan adams?? phil collins?? elton john?? someone like that.
roland: i’m torn because i want roland to be an edgelord but i also want him to be a quiet shy baby so why not both? i think he would like Gorillaz. sometimes laid back and chill and other times a little edgier. also in with the type of kids i feel like he would hang out with.
irena: something a little older from when she was a teenager. probably a female artist. why are gwen stefani or celine dion sticking out to me?
anneliese: SHE’S THE 12 YEAR OLD GIRL WHOS OBSESSED WITH BOYBANDS like one direction and 5 seconds of summer. i feel like she would also love softer female artists like regina spektor
4. Does your OC have anything they take pride in? (like an award or collection?)
elian: *vibrates excitedly* spoilers
abbe: mostly how he’s been given the ability to… move on? his mom is still trapped in their family’s past tragedies and roland and elian are dragged down with that as well, but abbe’s been the one to grow and rebuild the house and get married and now he’s gonna be a dad soon. he’s proud he’s been able to continue the legacy.
roland: he’s really proud of the things relating to his equestrian hobbies. he’s just starting out in the horse-breeding business but he has one or two really nice mares and im sure he has another one he’s training for the royal guard. he’s also the best rider in his family because its like all he does lol.
irena: she was able to get out from under the shadow of her mother. irena and her mom don’t really like each other and her mom was always disappointed that she decided to become a knight instead of trying to climb the social ladder. they kind of stopped talking. ironically enough, irena ended up basically being adopted into a Duke’s family and though it’s super petty and very vengeful i think irena’s also proud of how she became everything her mother wanted in her own way and without her mom’s help. she likes to think of her mom being salty and jealous.
anneliese: her reputation! she had to essentially rebuild it from the ground up after her dad did naughty scandalous things but she’s proven herself to the people who serve her.
5. Does your OC have a favorite film? (answering like they live in modern times)
elian: he likes superhero movies, like the marvel movies. i haven’t actually seen a lot of these so i can’t pick the one that’s his favorite but i have a feeling it’s like captain america or spiderman. he wont stop making jokes about how roland is emo peter parker.
abbe: already answered!
roland: black beauty he strikes me as the type who would like psychological thrillers like the shining or inception. movies that have lots of deep layers and summaries you stay up late reading until you’re too scared to go to bed.
irena: she would like things with very traditional elaborate fight scenes and dynamic relationships and cool props and swords and armor and epic battles so basically she’s a lord of the rings fan.
anneliese: literally the only thing coming to my mind are the twilight movies. the fault in our stars. ya’know stuff like that. i think she would be a big sucker for the princess bride.
6. How tall is your OC?
elian: 5′1″
abbe: 5′7″
roland: 5′6″
irena: 5′2″
anneliese: 5′0″
7. Does your OC have any celebrity crushes? (answering like they live in modern times)
elian: i don’t think he really follows celebrities he cares more about the quality of the movies they make.
abbe: maybe he had one when he was younger but now that he’s married and has a kid on the way he doesn’t have time for these kinds of trivial things he has to focus on the #wife.
roland: the actresses who are a little older but very #classic. julie andrews. judy garland. he might also like modern stars like anne hathaway or emma stone. one of those two.
irena: what if she was a david bowie fan i feel bad not immediately saying her husband dwayne the rock johnson
anneliese: nick jonas. justin timberlake. orlando bloom. every boy from one direction. you get my drift.
8. Do you ship any 2 of your OCs?
elian: ANNELIESE
abbe: his beautiful loving delicate sensitive understanding wife rosalie k thanks bye
roland: his super big crush on lady jeannine harpers kills me everyday
irena: dwayne the rock johnson
anneliese: ELIAN
9. How would you describe your OCs fashion taste?
elian: bold. he likes things that make him feel adventurous like big hats with feathers or sturdy boots. he’s upper class so he’s still gotta look nice but he goes for that “i’m a rich guy who’s never been camping in my life but i went out and bought all this super nice fancy camping gear so people will think i’m professional when i’m not” look.
abbe: very presentable, always On Point™. he’s gotta dress to impress, so all his clothes are neatly pressed and he tries not to wrinkle them up too much or get them dirty. he tends to trade in neutral colors like white and black for things a little brighter to liven up the house a bit. he’s still young. let abbe be Free™.
roland: he’s a big emo hot topic baby and the only thing he’ll wear is black.
irena: sleek shiny new armor that’s hand-crafted with details carved into the breastplate and shoulder pieces. regal deep colors and clean polished boots.
anneliese: PINK. big poofy dresses. less of a focus on patterns and more of a focus on teeny cutesy details.
10. Does your OC have any special talents?
elian: lmao i’ve never talk about this before but i sort of headcanon he’s alright at. fishing. it’s dangerous for him to swim and when his dad was around he was in the same situation. as selkies they still had a strong draw towards the water so instead of fishing as seals they would bond with each other by going to the shore or out on a boat and just have some quiet fishing time. :’) but anyway because of all that elian is much better at using a fishing rod than other selkies are.
abbe: he seems like a really average family-man kinda guy so i want him to have some talent that’s just so obscure and ridiculous and totally unexpected. he can juggle with his knees. he has this 6th sense that tells him when it’s going to rain. i’m confirming all this for canon immediately.
roland: he sort of gives me the “intellectual” kind of vibes in a good way and in a bad way. he was probably very good at school/his studies and for some reason history is really sticking out to me the most! while roland and elian don’t really get along i kinda headcanon roland had to tutor elian a lot when they were working through their school books together.
irena: she can play an instrument, i know that much! i haven’t decided what she plays, but i’m thinking some type of fictional string instrument. she teaches elian how to play some instruments, too, because we all know that poor child is bored out of his mind.
anneliese: she loves the whole wide world and reads a lot as a weird form of escapism? reading is her way of connecting to all the people and all the places in the world and it exercises her imagination. she’s probably a SUPER FAST reader and i bet she has a scary-big vocabulary for a girl as young as herself haha.
11. Is your OC really bad at something?
elian: already answered!
abbe: SELF CARE abbe will work himself to the bone and push down all of his personal feelings and hurt to put his family first. i don’t think he wants to be that way but he was kind of forced into that mindset after he had to immediately step up to his dad’s position and then get married on top of that like he had so many big life-altering changes thrown at him within a years time poor boy didn’t even have time to grieve or adequately manage his emotional state.
roland: being an individual haha. more like being openly opinionated and voicing those opinions. he “aaron burr”s the heck outta life with his “don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for” attitude. he doesn’t want to give anyone a reason to start drama with him.
irena: already answered!
anneliese: already answered!
12. Does your OC have both of their parents?
abbe, roland, and elian lost their dad 3 years before the story starts. for a good time after that their mom was not…. entirely there emotionally either so abbe is basically New Dad™.
irena: yes
anneliese: her dad is… kind of in prison?? so like he’s there but not there ya know. and who knows about her mom i’ll talk about that in the next question. anyway her aunt and uncle took her into the family and are basically her new mom and dad congrats anneliese.
13. Does your OC know their parents?
elian: yes
abbe: yes
roland: yes
irena: yes, but she lost contact with her mother years before the story starts and she’s totally uninterested in rekindling the relationship
anneliese: she knows her dad but i haven’t fully decided who her mother is or what happened to her so for now??? my answer is who knows.
14. Does your OC have any siblings?
abbe, roland and elian are all brothers! they don’t have any other siblings haha.
irena: none
anneliese: none but she did have a cousin! they were really close when they were little, almost like siblings. the cousin was the old heiress to the estate but she got a bad illness or disease or something like people did back in the good ol’ days and died. now anneliese is the heiress.
15. Do any of your OCs have pets?
elian: already answered!
abbe: none
roland: already answered!
irena: she might have a nice riding horse but other than that i doubt she has time for her own pet.
anneliese: i haven’t thought about it but she does seem like an animal kind of girl. if she does i can see her having a super fluffy kitty.
16. Do you have any nonhuman OCs?
17. Do you have any OCs you haven’t posted about?
18. How would you describe your OCs nature in one word?
elian: righteous
abbe: altruistic
roland: distant
irena: meticulous
anneliese: dreamy
19. Who is your youngest OC? (i’m combining this question with the other one and just saying their ages)
elian: 13 yrs
abbe: 21 yrs
roland: 16 yrs
irena: 33 yrs
anneliese: 12 yrs
20. Who is your oldest OC?
21. What race is your OC?
they’re all selkies!
22. Would your OC like you?
elian: he would like some things about me, then find other things completely infuriating.
abbe: he’d probably think i was a little too casual and maybe a bit weird, but he wouldn’t hate me either!
roland: i think we’d be cool.
irena: we could have a couple really nice conversations.
anneliese: she would!
#rosemem#oc stuff#lets T-A-L-K-A-B-O-U-T about ocs#efrens gift#its been like..... 2 weeks and i finally filled this whole thing out#IS ANYONE EVEN ONLINE ANYMORE haha#rip me up!!!

Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens died on Tuesday in Florida at the age of 99 after suffering a stroke. As the Associated Press reports, Stevens served on the Court for nearly 35 years. He was nominated to the bench by President Gerald Ford in 1975 and retired in 2010. In 1976, Stevens joined the plurality opinion in Gregg v. Georgia, holding that Georgia’s death penalty scheme was not unconstitutional and ending the de facto national moratorium on the death penalty that followed Furman v. Georgia in 1972. In 2002, Stevens wrote the majority opinion in Atkins v. Virginia, holding that it was unconstitutional to impose the death penalty on intellectually disabled offenders. And in 2008, he wrote a concurring opinion in Baze v. Rees that indicated that he had arrived at the personal belief that the death penalty was unconstitutional in all cases.

Hemp Headache. In a series of posts, Phil has been keeping blog readers up to date on the complicated issues involved in marijuana prosecutions following the legalization of hemp products. WRAL reports that the General Assembly is debating legislative responses to the situation, including a proposal to include smokable hemp within the definition of marijuana. As Phil has noted, the similarities between hemp flowers – the portion of the plant sold in smokable form – and marijuana flowers has caused law enforcement agencies to say that they are struggling to develop probable cause in marijuana investigations.
ICE Activists. Another report from WRAL says that in response to threatened raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, members of a group called SiembraNC have been patrolling communities in the Triangle looking for ICE agents. The report suggests that the volunteers watch for people in “suspicious vehicles” and investigate whether they are ICE agents. If so, they alert the surrounding community about the ICE presence.
Buncombe County. WLOS reports that another former Buncombe County official has been indicted on corruption charges. Former county commissioner Ellen Frost was indicted this week by a federal grand jury on various fraud charges arising from an alleged scheme to use county funds to sponsor equestrian activities in North Carolina and Florida.
Eric Garner. USA Today reports that the U.S. Justice Department will not bring civil rights violation charges against a New York City police officer who was involved in the 2014 arrest of Eric Garner that resulted in his death. The department had been investigating whether to bring charges against officer Daniel Pantaleo, who put Garner in a chokehold while arresting him for selling loose cigarettes outside a store in New York. During the incident Garner repeatedly said “I can’t breathe” – a phrase that has been adopted as a slogan for protests of racial disparities in policing.
El Chapo. Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the infamous Mexican drug cartel leader better known as El Chapo, was sentenced to life in prison this week by a federal judge in New York City. Guzmán was convicted of drug, murder, and money laundering charges last year after a lengthy trial. In addition to the term of imprisonment, Guzmán was ordered to pay a $12.6 billion in forfeiture. Many expect that he will serve his sentence at the Administrative Maximum Facility in Colorado where many other notorious offenders are housed. Guzmán famously has escaped from prison in Mexico on two separate occasions.
Epstein. Yesterday a federal judge denied bail for Jeffrey Epstein. Prosecutors told the judge on Monday that a search of a safe at Epstein’s home revealed substantial amounts of cash, loose diamonds, and an expired foreign passport issued under a fake name listing his country of residence as Saudi Arabia. Epstein’s attorneys said that he got the passport in the 80’s so that he could present it to kidnappers or terrorists were he to be involved in a hijacking while traveling in the Middle East.

Bucky Barnes x Reader
Oct 1st
Velvet came back to her house after morning lessons, looking for something to eat. Indy races thru his doggy door before she can open the back door, he usually has better manners so Velvet knows something is up. When she walks inside she smells food, burgers to be exact, so she heads towards the kitchen to find her Super Soldier standing over the stove frying hamburgers.
"Hey there handsome, fancy meeting you here. My boyfriend is away on a mission for at least another day so....what can I do for you" she came up behind him and put her arms around his waist.
"I don't know miss, I heard he was really jealous and has a bad temper"
"Don't worry, I have him wrapped around my little finger. He's whipped and I don't even put out."
Bucky growled and turned to face her "Damnit, I can't even argue with that. Hey Beautiful" he kissed her gently "Got back a little early and ditched Steve and a briefing because I couldn't wait any longer to see you. 2 weeks feels like forever when you aren't with me"
Velvet kissed him back "I know, Buck. I missed you too. But I had Alpine here to help keep me company. Her and Indy haven't killed each other yet so that's a good sign but they are both bed hogs."
Bucky squeezes her and turns around "I don't want to burn these burgers, I heard the lady here is very particular about her food."
"You know you just came off of a mission and probably haven't slept since yesterday. You didn't have to make me lunch" Velvet chided him.
"I know but I like taking care of you. Get your buns ready, Baby, the cheese is almost melted."
Once they were settled in and eating Velvet spoke up "I have something very important that we need to discuss right away"
Bucky looked at her curiously and his stomach dropped a little bit "Is everything ok? Did I do something?"
"Guilty conscience, sergeant?" She grinned
Bucky stuttered "No, I, Uh"
Velvet laughed "Don't get yourself all worked up. You aren't in trouble but this is very important and time sensitive" Bucky just sat back and waited for her to go on so she did
"How do you want to dress up for Tony's Halloween shindig? Do you want to do a couple thing or something else? I have some thoughts."
Bucky laughed "Jesus woman, you scared me like that over Halloween costumes? That is not ok"
She smirked at him "I just like to get your blood pumping"
Bucky leaned across the table with a lecherous smirk "I know how you can get my blood pumping-"
"James! Get your mind out of the gutter, there's no time for that. We need to figure this out." Halloween is a big thing
"Doll, we have a month-"
Velvet scoffs playfully "I know, time is running out and we have to decide what to wear and then figure out how to put it together"
He looks her up and down, licking his lips "You know that I'm fine with whatever you want as long as all of our fun bits are covered"
Velvet rolls her eyes "You have a one track mind, Barnes"
"Yeah and you are constantly trying to derail me" he pouts
Velvet laughs and kisses his forehead.
Bucky gets up to clean the dishes "So what do you have in mind?"
"I already have a Renaissance style serving wench so you could be anything from a peasant to a king."
Bucky looks at her "You just have a wench costume laying around?"
"I told you my mom used to take me to the Ren Faire when I was a kid. She bought it for me when I was 15 and it still fits." She explains
Bucky looks indignant "And why haven't I seen this get up yet. I bet you make a very sexy wench"
"That's kind of the idea, distract the men so they spend more money on drinks. Along the same idea but different era, I also have a saloon girl costume and you could be a cowboy. I found that one online when the kids at Serenity told me in no uncertain terms that I wasn't allowed to be a cowgirl because that's what I am so not a costume. The wench outfit is more historically accurate but the saloon girl is pretty cute"
Bucky thinks for a minute "I'll need to see how you look in both of them before I can decide"
Velvet shakes her head "I don't think that's a good idea. I'm pretty fucking sexy in both and I don't think you could control yourself. You'll have to decide, sight unseen, and wait till the party"
"What makes you think I'll be able to control myself at the party" Bucky asks.
Velvet looks at his with a blank face and says "Witnesses"
Bucky laughs. "Fine. I'll try not to imagine you in a sexy costume and decide based on what I want to be. Cowboy sounds simpler. A knight is too much to take off. King seems a bit pretentious. Peasant might work. Do you have a place to get my costume or will you put it together yourself?"
Velvet brings him her laptop and shows a couple of sites she knows of and comments "I might have a tough time keeping my hands off of a cowboy. Just saying."
Bucky muses "I do still have the shirt I wore for the party Tony threw to open Morgan's place. And I do have my own pair of cowboy boots. And black jeans. Just need a hat"
"And a lariat" Velvet pipes in.
"Like a rope? That could come in handy. For after the party" he smiles
Velvet huffs exasperatedly "Oh.your.god. could you not think about sex for a minute?"
"I can't help it, you make me crazy" Bucky whined
"Sorry Babe, you were nuts long before I met you. I accept no responsibility for that. So cowboy?" She confirms
Bucky grins "I think that'll work. Now I just have to figure out how to get out of going to Tony's party and we can have our own get together for two"
Oct 15
Velvet meets up with Nat & Wanda for lunch to discuss prep for the upcoming party. "I think we need an in house team to help us prepare. Hair, nails, make up. Have you guys decided on your costumes? Times running out" both ladies nod "and are you doing a couple thing? Buck and I are doing an old west thing."
Nat looks at her "That's barely a costume for Bucky, he already wears jeans and boots everyday"
Velvet sighs "I know and I can barely keep my hands off of him."
Wanda looks surprised "You still haven't slept with him? It's been three months and you two have crazy chemistry"
Velvet looks at her shyly "I know, I want him so badly but something has been holding me back. Raynor referred me to another shrink since we are colleagues and Dr Wexler says it's because 'the incident' brought up a lot of repressed memories where sex ended up being bad for me, physically and emotionally.
I'm thinking of attacking him after the party but I'm really nervous. I even saw Helen to get a birth control implant but haven't told him yet. Told him the scar was from a scratch while I was cleaning tack."
Nat looks concerned "The incident? You were kidnapped and-"
"I know, Nat, but I don't want to give that night more power than it already has."
"Barnes isn't pressuring you, is he?"
Velvet shakes her head "No, not at all, he has been amazing and just takes a lot of cold showers."
Wanda giggled "Poor Bucky. As long as you're doing it because you want."
"I can't think of much I've ever wanted more. So, what are y'all wearing?"
Nat speaks up "Little Red Riding Hood and Bruce is the big bad wolf"
Velvet nods "Nice. How about you Wanda?"
"Danny and Sandy from Grease"
"Oohhh, cute"
Oct 25
Bucky comes out of his daydream and blushes when he sees Velvet so close. "Yeah, uh, what?"
"Velvet honey, there's a package from Boot Barn here" Bucky says as he walks in the front door with dinner he picked up. Velvet comes out of her bedroom with a towel around her neck, skin still damp from the shower wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
Bucky looks her up and down, licking his lips.
Velvet snaps her fingers in his face "Hello. Is there anybody in there?'
Where did you go?" He looks down
Velvet kisses him softly on the lips "I said it's probably your cowboy hat and shirt. I ordered a distressed looking shirt so you don't look like some wannabe urban cowboy who calls himself that because he likes country music.
"uh, just in my head. Sorry"
Velvet hugs him "Everything ok?"
Bucky nods too quickly and Velvet shakes her head at him "James.."
"Ok, sorry, Doll. I don't want to make you feel pressured but fuck, you make me crazy. Every time you look at me exactly like you are right now and you touch me or kiss-"
He stops "Sorry. No pressure. We are on your timeline."
She puts her fingers over his lips to shush him "it's ok. I understand. Thank you so much for being patient with me. Wexler thinks I'm making progress. I know I'm feeling more relaxed and open with you. Physically and emotionally. We will get there. I promise."
Bucky takes a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Even if we don't you're stuck with me. Till the end-"
she sideeyes him "Did you just Steve Rogers me?"
Bucky huffs "of time. Till the end of time. Always so difficult"
Halloween
Before the excitement started Velvet took a late morning nap so she wouldn't run out of energy too early. Knowing she could sleep late tomorrow definitely helped.
Velvet meets up with the rest of the ladies at the compound where Pepper has, once again set up a perfect day of pampering, mimosas and brunch before the party.
While Velvet gets a massage, Nat starts getting dressed and asks "So, Miss Velvet, is tonite the nite?"
Velvet picks her head up and gives Nat a dirty look. "What kind of spy are you when you have to spill all of MY secrets in front of the entire group? Everyone doesn't need to know the intimate details of my relationship with Bucky?"
Velvet puts her head back down to enjoy her massage. She was already so nervous about tonite, worried that she would disappoint Bucky or that sex would change things in a bad way. She trusted him but his way with women still made her insecure even if it was in the past.
Morgan perks up "Miss Velvet are you and uncle Bucket going to get married and have babies? What's happening tonight?"
Velvet throws a dirty look at Nat then smiles at Morgan. "I want to tell Bucky I love him and thought tonight would be good. After the party. I don't know about getting married, we've only been together 3 months but I'd probably say yes if he asked me."
Wanda giggles "Nice save, Velvet. Which earns her a dirty look from Velvet.
When the masseuse was finished she stood up and pulled her robe back around her shoulders. Seeing that the hairdresser was available she went to have her hair done. Up away from her face with a few ringlets framing it. She went to the make-up artist who used a shimmer powder on her face and shoulders to give her a soft glow, mascara and a deep purple lipstick to match her dress.
Once everyone was satisfied with how they looked Pepper announced that it was almost time for the party to start so she was going to head down to make sure everything was ready.
Velvet put on her beloved purple cowboy boots and she was ready to go. She sat and chatted with the others while they were finishing up.
Pepper made a beautiful Morticia Adams and Morgan was an adorable Wednesday.
As they left Velvet called out "I'm going to be very disappointed if you and Tony don't tango at least once tonite." Pepper laughed as she walked away.
Velvet was getting even more nervous the later it got. She was excited for the party but scared about after. She took an edible out of her little pouch purse and washed it down with a mimosa, hoping it would take the edge off of her nerves and the pain they were exacerbating.
Nat received a text from Bruce letting her know he was waiting in the ball room whenever she was ready so she left with Wanda trailing behind.
Carol and Maria were adorable as an angel and a devil and left the room holding hands and laughing.
Velvet was the only one left so she took a deep breath and headed downstairs. She could hear music and laughter thru the halls as she walked to the entrance.
Hoping to sneak in without any fuss she tried to blend in but Bucky was anxiously looking for her since all the other ladies were already there. His breath caught when he saw her and his heart sped up. She looked so beautiful to him. That purple dress with her shoulders exposed and a slit up to her right thigh.
He wanted to grab her and kiss the purple off of her lips but he restrained himself and gave her a peck on the cheek
"Wow. You look beautiful. I don't know if I can hold out till the party is over." His voice lowered "The things I want to do to you, Doll." And trailed off as he gently kissed down her neck to her exposed shoulders.
Velvet shivered "Don't get too worked up yet, the party is just getting started."
They went to the bar to get drinks and Velvet started with water since she's had about four mimosas and doesn't want to get wasted.
Thor and Valkyrie come up to the bar, dressed as Men In Black and Velvet hugs Val "I wondered where you were. You guys look awesome. Kinda like the ones in the last movie. Is there anything you want to tell us?"
Val shook her head "No, we're friends, co-workers that's all. Thor isn't my type, some extra parts that I don't need but Jane is off doing some science thing and I couldn't bear Thor's pouting anymore."
Velvet laughed "I know, right? Men can be so much work."
Bucky looked offended "You know, I'm right here." Velvet smiled and kissed him which completely distracted him from his feigned offense. "You are so much trouble, young lady"
Velvet gave him a wicked grin "You ain't seen nothing yet"
Bucky shook his head "c'mon Doll, let's dance" Bucky had been teaching her swing dancing like he used to dance before the war. Obviously some moves were too much with her back but they still cut a good rug.
The night went on and everyone was having a great time. When midnight hit a slow song came on for the last song, Journey's 'Open Arms'.
Bucky pulled Velvet onto the dance floor and hugged her close to him. "Do you know what you have been doing to me all nite, Doll? You look so good I could eat you up."
Velvet looked up at him, not quite as tall, and smiled "Is that literal or just a turn of phrase"
Bucky grinned and dropped his voice "Sweetheart, it's anything you want it to be" he pulled her flush against him with his left hand on the small of her back and gently pulled her face towards his with his right hand on her chin and kissed her. Gentle and slow, he ran his tongue along her lips and she opened her mouth to let him in.
Bucky sighed and fisted his left hand in her dress, his right hand on the back of her neck. He wanted get closer, become part of her but ended the kiss and caught his breath "Unless you want me to lose control on the dance floor in front of all of our friends we should head out"
Velvet's face was flushed and she nodded "I think I'm ready" They quickly made their good byes and headed for her car, stopping regularly to push up against a wall and kiss like teenagers.
In the car, Velvet was running her fingers up and down Bucky's thigh while he tried to keep his attention on the road. "If you keep that up we're going to run off the road. Thank god, we're here."
They hurried into the house and as soon as the door was closed Bucky pushed her up against the wall "I don't know what's in your head tonite but please don't stop."
Velvet giggled and nibbled on his earlobe "Why, James, whatever do you mean?"
Bucky moaned "Be careful, Doll. If you keep this up I can't be responsible for what I do. I won't be able to stop."
"What if I don't want you to stop" she whispered in his ear.
Bucky pulled back and looked her in the eyes "Are you sure? I'll stop if you want me too. I don't want to push."
Velvet kissed his nose "I know, James. I want you. I need you."
Bucky kissed her hard, almost desperately. The last three months had been filled with passionate make outs and touches but nothing below the waist. Velvet kissed him back and started to unbutton his shirt.
Bucky tensed "You don't have to...I know the scars are ugly-"
Velvet put her hand over his mouth "Nothing about your is ugly, you are beautiful. I've seen your scars and I love them because they are part of you"
Bucky looked at her in awe "How did I ever get so lucky to find you?"
Velvet kissed him again "I'm just as lucky. Please Bucky, I NEED you."
Bucky picked her up, bridal style and carried her into the bedroom. He set her down gently on the bed and pulled her boots off then stood her up and turned her around so he could unzip her dress. It pooled on the floor, leaving her in a corset and nothing else
"Jesus, Y/N. Have you been walking around with no panties all night?"
Velvet grinned "Gotta try to keep my costume accurate. And bloomers just didn't look right on me."
Bucky unlaced her corset slowly, kissing along her neck and shoulders while running his fingers along her back as more was exposed.
When the corset fell to the floor he turned her to face him, slowly looking at her from head to toe "Beautiful" he whispered.
Velvet blushed and tried to cover herself but Bucky grabbed her wrists "No, don't hide from me. Please Y/N. You are so perfect. I want to see all of you and I'm going to touch and taste every single inch until all you know is pleasure and my name."
Velvet shivered, she felt very exposed but standing naked in front of him while he still had his t-shirt and jeans on was kind of erotic. She pulled at his shirt and he helped pull it over his head. Touching his bare chest, running her hands over his shoulders and along his scars Bucky shuddered.
Velvet reached down to unbutton his jeans and pulled them down as far as she could. Bucky pulled his pants and underwear off and they stood, inches apart each taking in the beauty of the other until Bucky sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled her into his lap. She could feel him, big and hard near her core, which was dripping on his legs. Bucky kissed her again harder this time all teeth and tongues, a little desperate. He needed to envelope her, be a part of her.
He pulled back "Lay down on your back, sweetheart. I want to see you. All of you."
Velvet slid back to the head of the bed and leaned back on her pillows. She looked Bucky up and down and gasped, she had never seen him naked before and while she had been able to feel that he was well endowed she wasn't expecting.....
"See something you like, Doll? Because it's all yours?"
He stalked across the bed on all fours, like a tiger stalking its prey. He started kissing her, pouring everything into that kiss. Trying to tell her what he had difficulty saying.
He grinned as he kissed down her stomach until he reached the top of her mound and gently kissed there and around the top of her thighs, marking her as his.
Velvet was starting to get desperate, needing his touch more than she could remember ever needing anything.
"Are you sure about this?"
Velvet nodded "I've never been so sure of anything in my life. Please Bucky. I need you." He moved from her lips to her neck, kissing and biting, blowing in her ear until she was moaning and writhing under him. He moved down slowly kissing along her shoulders his right hand gently kneading her breast and pulling at her nipple. He flicked at it with his tongue then suckled it into his mouth gently nibbling and groaning at the musky taste. He moved to pay equal attention to her other breast until she was moaning and arching her back, needing more.
Bucky chuckled at her desperation "Don't worry Baby, I'm going to take good care of you" he ran a finger softly along her slit and groaned "Fuck Y/N you're soaked. What a pretty, wet pussy for me to play with."
Velvet sighed "Please James, stop teasing me" Bucky looked at her with a lusty smirk and nodded before he dove in like a starving man, licking a broad stripe from her dripping core to her swollen clit.
Velvet's back arched and he lay his left arm across her hips to hold her down "You taste so good, I could eat this sweet pussy all day" and dove in moaning at how good she was.
Velvet was a moaning mess "Oh.god. James, I. Don't. So good, please."
Bucky looked up, "Tell me. What do you want? You want to come all over my face? Come on doll. I need you...." He started gently sucking on her clit while playing with her hole with his left hand, carefully sliding one finger in and out.
Then a second finger and Velvet gasped grabbing his hair and pushing his face into her "James, baby, oh fuck, please, I'm, oh god, I'm" and her body tensed while the waves of pleasure crashed through her and Bucky groaned loudly
"Y/N yes, I want all of it" as she squirted on his face and chest. When she started coming down and could feel the wetness on the sheets under her she became embarrassed
"Oh god, Bucky. I'm sorry I didn't mean to make a mess. I should have warned you that I do that sometimes."
Bucky grinned, his face shiny with her release. "Are you kidding? That was so fucking hot. I need you to give me one more like that before I'm done here."
And he buried his face in her pussy, loving how absolutely fucking drenched she was, dripping down her crack to keep soaking the sheets.
Bringing her to her second orgasm was quick since she was already sensitive, he groaned into her as she squirted and squeezed his fingers as he pumped them into her.
Velvet pulled his hair "too much" he licked her oversensitive pussy softly.
"Damn, Doll. So sweet." And came up to kiss her mouth. Velvet could taste herself and moaned. When he pulled back she reached down to take his hard cock in her hand, using the precum dripping out for lubricant.
"I want to taste you too, James" he looked at her, pupils blown so she could barely see the blue in his eyes.
"I want that too but later I need to be inside you before I explode. You still good?"
She nodded and gasped "Yes, James...."
"I've got you" he lined himself up and slowly eased into her, groaning when he filled her "Fuck. So wet and tight and perfect like you were made to fit me. I don't know how long I can last, you feel too damn good."
Velvet moaned "more" and Bucky started moving, slow and gentle but deep. He pulled out almost all the way then thrust back in and Velvet arched her back and whimpered
"Doll, you make the sweetest sounds but I'm gonna make you scream" Bucky sped up a little, trying to keep control so he doesn't hurt her but she felt so good and it had been so long.
"I'm close, Doll but I need one more from you before I let go. I need to feel you milking and soaking my cock. Jesus you feel so good, like heaven. I could live here, with you, like this."
He leaned close and kissed her gently "Y/N, I love you so much. I don't know how I ever lived without you." She could feel him so deep inside her she didn't think she would ever lose that feeling.
She gasped out "I love you, Ja-James. Oh fuck. Uhg YES, JAMES YES, PLEASE" and she exploded with stars in her eyes, squeezing his cock and gushing down his legs. That was it for him
"Y/N, fuck" he groaned and stilled, filling her with hot ropes of his cum. Bucky laid on his side, pulling her with him so he was still buried deep inside her. They held and kissed each other until they came down from their high.
Bucky looked at her smiling. "That was....fuck."
Velvet nodded "uh huh it sure was." Bucky got up after a few minutes to get a wet washcloth and clean her up. "Buck, the sheets are drenched"
"It's fine, I'll just put a towel down and we'll wash them tomorrow because you know I'm not done with you yet. I have another reason to call you Velvet now, that's what you feel like."
Velvet smiled "Just give me a minute to rest" she mumbled.
Bucky pulled her into him and trailed his fingers up and down her back mumbling into her hair "I love you". Both of them felt like they had truly found their home.

Post Endgame but everybody survived, because I said so. And Steve helped get Sharon Carter pardoned so they are together.
Chapter 8
WARNINGS: angst, vague descriptions of pornographic pics, SWEARING always, I think thats all
Velvet took her new assistant, Bobby, for a tour around her stable and Morgans place, showing him everything he needed to know to help her care for the horses and riders. She also had MJ coming in on weekends to help with event coordination for Morgan's place. Tony hoped to host some small shows to give Morgan practice and prepare her for larger events. Everything was, fine, Velvet kept telling herself. It had been 3 weeks since Bucky had left and she had received one text from him letting her know he would be gone for awhile but that's all. Most of the team was on the same mission but Nat was recovering from an injury and Peter still had school so hadn't gone with them. He did come up on the weekends with MJ and helped Velvet with chores and lessons. Velvet tried not to think about Bucky and what he said before he left but failed miserably. His stormy blue eyes haunted her sleep and the memory of that kiss months ago kept replaying in her head.
After the 5th week Velvet received a strange package, in it were some pics from her rough times after her accident. She was in the middle of some crazy drugged sex act with more than one other person, a few guys and a girl all In various stages of undress. Lines with a pile of white powder, a bong with a pile of weed next to it and tequila shots on the table and everyone was licking, sucking, fingering and/or fucking. She closed her eyes, wondering where this came from as there was no return address and the postmark was Manhattan. She didn't see her ex Roger in the pic so he must have taken it. It was a graphic reminder of the lowest time of her life. But why would anyone do this, what's the point? All the important people at the top already knew the basics of her past but this was much more detailed than what she told them. She didn't think Tony or Fury would care, Steve might but hopefully he would understand. Of course if these were leaked to the public it might become difficult for them to defend keeping her on considering the classified nature of most of their work and the inherent risk of an addict spilling something they shouldn't. It could even affect Serenity as many parents wouldn't want their kids around a drug addicted whore.
Bucky didn't know, they talked about a lot and he knew she had an addiction problem in the past and had done some awful things to feed that addiction but she didn't get into the gory details, hoping to keep it in the past. He was willing to accept what he knew about her but what if this was too much? That thought made her realize that she wanted him, wanted to give him, give them a chance. But what if this ruined it? The stress was spiking her pain and making her stomach sick, she worked so hard to move on from those mistakes but apparently someone didn't want that. It had to be Roger but did that mean he was in NYC?
Velvet sat in her office and sighed, dialing Nick Fury's line to see if he was available today. Unfortunately he was also out of town and Maria had meetings all day so she made an appt for tomorrow, hid the package away and tried to find something, anything else to think of.
In Argentina the team was looking into some suspected Hydra/Nazi collaborators but having a hard time gathering intel on their movements or plans. Bucky was antsy, wishing he could at least text or call Velvet but Steve wouldn't hear of it. Too much risk of being traced. Bucky could barely sleep and when he did he never knew if he would have a good and sexy dream about Velvet or one where the Winter Soldier hurts her or Bucky can't stop one of his enemies from hurting her. Either way he woke up drenched and unable to focus for awhile.
"Wanna talk about it, Buck?" Steve finally asked.
"Dunno what to say, nothing I can do but wait it out till we can go home and hope she hasn't given up on me because of our stressful lifestyle. Talking won't change anything." Bucky responded.
"Maybe a little time away is good for both of you. You were together every day for over a month and that can get intense so some time to think about what you both feel and want might bring clarity to you both." Steve advised.
"Steve, I haven't felt this clear about anything since I fell from the train. Never been hit so hard by a woman"
Steve laughed, "I told you she was something. Sounds like you got bit good."
Bucky smiled for the first time in days "That's for sure"
Steve grinned for a moment then spoke up in a sober tone "theres something about her you should know, Buck. Her accident was that day in DC when you and I fought. She was in a tour van on that bridge. I don't think you were directly responsible but there was a big mess on the road that day and she was part of it."
Bucky coughed "WAIT, WHAT? Does she know its my fault? She can't or she wouldn't even talk to me if she did. I ruined her life. God dammit!! How do I face her now?"
"Nat is supposed to tell her but I don't know if she did or how it went" Steve sighed.
The next morning, Velvet headed over to the compound to talk to Maria about the pics. When she arrived at her office, Maria waved her. "Whats going on Y/N, the look on your face says it's pretty serious."
Velvet nodded "is it alright if I close the door, this is very personal."
"Of course, close the door and have a seat." Once Velvet was settled Maria asked softly "what happened? You look pretty spooked."
Velvet took a deep breath to calm herself "Well, you know how I told you about after my accident, how I got addicted to pain meds and did some awful things to get them? Well, someone sent me pics of one of those horrible things. No return address and postmarked in Manhattan. My ex, Roger, is still in California as far as I know. I spoke to his mom after the snap and he was dusted. I didn't even think about him coming back. Or that he could find me." Velvet teared up "I thought I had put all that behind me. He always promised he would get me back if I left but I thought I was safe here. This could ruin everything"
Maria walked around her desk to hug Velvet and rub her back "it's ok, we'll find out whose doing this and bury the whole thing. I'm going to need the envelope and the pictures so we can get started"
Velvet looked at her, wide eyed "We? Please promise that you will lead on this, I don't need everyone here to see them."
Bucky and Velvet were both stressing out to the point of illness over the recent developments. Bucky was drowning in guilt for breaking her and afraid she wouldn't want anything to do with him. Velvet was scared Bucky would find out about the pictures and not want anything to do with her anymore.
A few days later Nat came to the stable, hoping to take Velvet on a ride and break the news about her accident. Once they had Lexi and Romeo ready to go they walked out the gate and into the woods that Velvet had been exploring for this very purpose.
"So, what's up Velvet? I can tell you have something on your mind." Nat grinned.
Velvet sighed "Just a part of my past that I would like to forget rearing its ugly head. Someone sent me some explicit pics of me in compromising positions during my fall after the accident. Maria is looking into it but I'm scared that my ex will come back and fuck up everything I've worked for here."
Nat looks her in the eye "I won't let that happen, we need you here. This is your home and I'll fuck up anyone who wants to hurt you."
Velvet changes the subject "What's on your mind, Nat? You usually have shit to work thru when you schedule a ride. So what's up?"
Nat looks away "It's actually about you, your accident. Barnes was there in Winter Soldier mode, fighting Steve and me. He was the reason for the pile up that you were part of, that changed your life."
Velvet looks at Nat and snorts "I know." Nat pales "You think I didn't know that? I did have access to the internet even if my memory sucked. I knew before I met Tony. It wasn't Bucky, not really. And I think he's been pretty effectively rehabilitated. It really sucked and I was a mess for awhile but I'm a better person now and have a more fulfilling life than I did clawing my way to the Olympics. On another subject, have you heard from Steve or anyone? Its been ages and all I've heard is one text from Bucky the day they left."
Nat grins "is something up between the two of you."
"I don't know. The day before they left he told me he was falling in love with me and I told him why it was a bad idea and he almost convinced me. I told him about some of my experiences and why I'm hesitant. Asked him to give me the night to sleep on it. Then he left."
Nats grin grew "I knew there was something there. Last I heard a couple of days ago, everyone was fine but restless. Hoping to finish up in time for Tony's 4th of July birthday party for Steve."
"July? That's almost another month. Maybe this is the universe showing me why dating Bucky is a bad idea. This wait is torture." Velvet whined.
"It sucks to be sure but the right person is worth all that so don't throw the idea away over that." Nat counseled.
Velvet noticed the sun was starting to go down and figured they better get back and take care of the horses. Nat helped with chores and they decided to order pizza, drink some wine, nosh on some edibles and watch one of Velvet's favorite movies, Paul. Nat didn't get all the jokes because she wasn't a nerd like Velvet but she caught enough to still enjoy the movie. The edibles helped. Velvet rarely got stoned on her meds but once in awhile she needed to let everything go and this was one of those times. Between the pics and missing Bucky she was a mess.
June 28th, Velvet and Nat were shopping for dresses for the July 4th party. Trying to keep with the theme, Nat found a red halter dress that was perfect, showing off her curves beautifully. Velvet found a long, blue, cotton, off the shoulder dress with a slit up the side and pockets. Casual and comfortable.
"It looks great on you, Bucky will love it." Nat teased.
Velvet frowns "If they get back in time. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Have you found anything about the pics?"
Nat sighed "Not really. I did try to find your ex and couldn't but he's not in Southern California. I have Friday searching with facial recognition so will hopefully know something soon. Don't worry, we won't let him hurt you."
"I know you mean that Nat and he's just a guy against the Avengers but he's very smart and will latch onto any opportunity to get paid. Things have been going so well here and I'm scared he will destroy it all. What will Bucky think about being with a woman who did the things I did?"
Nat gave Velvet a hug "Barnes shouldn't have anything to say about a checkered past considering his."
The team returned on July 1st, tired and happy to be home but no major injuries. Velvet received an email from Maria letting her know they were back and asking her to come to the compound to discuss her other matter.
Velvet went after lunch and spoke to Maria "Please tell me you have some good news, like you found Roger and made him disappear or something."
Maria smiled but it didn't reach her eyes "I wish that were the case. We did find him on a surveillance video from the subway in Manhattan but haven't been able to find him physically yet. We did some searching online and he seems to be in contact with someone here but we haven't been able to narrow it down."
Velvet sighed "If someone here has it in for me it's that bitch Janell. She told Bucky she would make him pay for dumping her and might think hurting me would hurt him since she accused him of having a thing for me."
Maria gasped "Thats right, I had forgotten. I'll have a talk with her." Typing into her computer, Maria frowns "She's on leave till the 6th. I'll bring her in as soon as shes back. FRIDAY, can you notify me when Janell Marshall returns to the compound" "Of course Agent Hill".
Someone knocks on Maria's office door and Velvet moves to leave "Thanks Maria, see you on the 4th"
'I'll be there"
Velvet opens the door to come face to face with Steve and Bucky, and gasps "Welcome home guys, glad no one was badly hurt. See you on the 4th"
They both mutter out a hello and Bucky flushes and looks at the ground. Velvet shakes her head and leaves before she says or does something stupid.
Obviously Bucky has some issue, Velvet hopes he didn't get copies of the pictures but his reaction to seeing her convinces her that he must have. She makes it to her car before any tears fall. All the work she did to get clean, get away from Roger and his influence but it just followed her across the country.
Bucky and Steve go into Maria's office to give their reports from the mission.
Bucky asks "Is everything ok with Velvet? Did something happen?"
Maria looks at him "Nothing serious, we were discussing some regular upgrades to her security system."
Bucky nods and let's Steve do most of the talking for the rest of the meeting. When Bucky goes back to his quarters he sees a stack of mail and just tosses it on his desk to deal with later. He still doesn't know how to face Velvet knowing that he was responsible for her disability and has nightmares of the Winter Soldier hurting her. He woke up screaming.
July 4th. After morning chores Velvet takes Lexi for a ride to help her relax and think. She hasn't heard anything from Bucky since he returned. She sent a text asking if he would be coming back to the stable and received an I'm busy but when things calm down reply. She sighed and figured she'd have to wait till the party if he even went.
After her ride she drove to the compound to get ready with Wanda and Nat. They all chatted and helped each other get ready, not needing to get too fancy for a BBQ party.
Wanda doesn't mean to see anything while she's putting Velvet's hair up in a messy bun but the feelings are too intense and she gasps at what she sees.
"Whats wrong, Wanda?" Velvet asks concerned.
Wanda shakes her head "I'm so sorry. I wasn't trying to see anything but your feelings are so strong. Are you ok Velvet?"
Velvet's eyes go wide "Wanda, what did you see?"
"I'm so sorry Velvet, I didn't mean to. I saw pictures of you. Someone's trying to blackmail or threaten you over them."
Velvet closed her eyes and sighed "It's ok just please don't say anything to anyone. Only Nat and Maria know. I think it's my ex and Maria told me FRIDAY found him on a subway surveillance camera in the city but they still haven't found him."
"Don't worry Velvet we won't let him hurt you." Wanda promised.
Velvet wasn't reassured but kept it to herself, she just hoped Bucky would feel the same way instead of rejecting her for being an addict and whore, like in her nightmares the last few weeks.

Miss Velvet
Chapter 13
Notes: I saw all the Valentine stories here and was going to try to write something but couldn't come up with anything original. Then I went to try anyhow and remembered I had already started this chapter. I didn't want to jump around anymore on my timeline so went with this. Plus my other stories aren't haven't developed the relationships yet.
WARNINGS: SMUT. Badly written vanilla smut. Angst/drama. Plenty of fluff.
I hope y'all enjoy. Constructive Feedback, likes and shares are ALWAYS welcome.
Dec 26
After Fantasmic was over the team left Bucky and Velvet alone in the Dream Suite.
She left him on the balcony to finish his drink while she started her nightly routine, wash face, brush teeth. She started filling the tub and went to give Bucky a kiss. As she pulled away, she winked at him, "Did you see that bathtub? I bet we could both fit with room to spare. If you're interested in that sort of thing."
She sashayed away, dropping clothes on her way to the bathroom Bucky following eagerly behind.
He walked up behind her in the bathroom and put his arms around her waist, kissing her neck and shoulders softly, she sighed and took his hand as she stepped into the tub. Bucky stepped in behind her and they both sat in the warm water. With the lights low they could look up and see the 'stars' twinkling in the ceiling above them.
Bucky gently ran his hands up and down her sides until she giggled "That tickles, James". He ran his hands over her belly and up her ribs until he ghosted them over her breasts, barely touching her nipples until she arched up into his hands and moaned softly.
"James" she whined, reaching up to his neck and turning her head to kiss him. The kiss started off gently, teasing her tongue like he teased her nipples until she moaned into his mouth and wiggled her hips back into his hardening cock. Bucky grabbed her chin and deepend the kiss till it was all teeth and tongues, both of them moaning.
"Dont tease, Doll"
Velvet pulled away and sat up to turn around and climb on his lap facing him, putting her hands on his shoulders. "It's only teasing if I don't follow through"
Then she smashed her lips against his, her tongue demanding entrance which he gladly granted.
Bucky grabbed her hip to guide her over him with one hand and grabbed his cock to line up with her waiting pussy. They both groaned as she slid down until he was deep inside her.
"Fuck, doll, you always feel so damn good. Like you were made to fit me, so perfect and tight and wet." He groaned again when she started rolling her hips and he ran his hands up to her breasts taking one nipple in his mouth and suckling gently until she moaned
"James, I need you."
"I'm all yours, Y/N, always. Tell me what you need and it's yours."
"Can you help me ride you?"
"Of course" he mumbled into her other nipple before nibbling on it. Bucky gently grabbed her hips and started moving her up and down on his cock, moaning at the feel of her fluttering around him. He moved her so that her clit rubbed on his pubic bone with every grind and thrust, water sloshing around the tub.
Velvet moaned "James, fuck, so good. I can feel uhhh you right here" and she moved his hand to her belly where he felt his head with every thrust and he almost lost it.
"Jesus, Doll, your gonna make me cum too soon I want to stay here all night" he felt her clenching his cock and smirked against her skin "You like that idea? We could live in our own bubble forever. Touching you, tasting you" she whined as he licked up the side of her neck "fucking you until you forget everything but us right here."
Velvet could feel her orgasm building up, deep inside. He knew that his dirty talk made her crazy and he had to make her cum first but couldn't hold on much longer. "J J Jamesss, oh fuck, please. OHHHHH, yeeessss" he felt her pussy throbbing and getting impossibly wetter, her nails digging into his shoulders as she bit his neck while she came. That was it for him, to feel her almost feral, he couldn't hold back and pulled her all the way down as his cock pulsated and coated her walls with his cum while he groaned her name.
She rested her head on his chest while they both came down and she caught her breath. He kissed her gently and pushed his hips up just enough to make her feel that he was getting hard again. He gave her a lustful smirk "You weren't planning on sleeping tonite, were you sweetheart?"
Dec 27th
Velvet woke to a phone ringing and fumbled around trying to grab the room phone. When she picked it up, a voice that was too loud and cheerful told her it was their wake up call and breakfast would be on the patio in an hour before wishing her a magical day and ending the call. She grumbled and reached for Bucky.
"Buck, it's time to get up." Then it all hit her. James Bucky Barnes, her fiance, in the Dream Suite at Disneyland. She shot up in bed and looked around, looked at her left hand. "Oh my god, last night was real"
Bucky grinned sleepily "Of course it was but I can give you a reminder if you want"
"James, breakfast and the team will be here in less than an hour and I don't know about you but I need a shower. I've never gotten so dirty in a bath as last night." She tried to get out of bed but he grabbed her wrist.
"Sounds like a challenge to me" he pulled her back to his side and kissed her.
After a shared shower they went down to the patio where everyone but Wanda and Vision were already waiting.
"Wanda and Vision are on their way but there's plenty of food. We have a tour guide coming at noon to take us all the places regular guests can't go." Nat greeted them as they sat down and started to eat.
Wanda and Vision walked in shortly after. "Wow, there's a huge crowd outside. I think the secret is out. Has anyone checked their social media? Mine is crazy this morning" Wanda asked
Velvet grabbed her phone to look and was stunned by what she saw "I have been tagged in hundreds of posts, videos and pictures from last nite. I guess an Avenger proposing in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle isn't terribly stealth."
Tony grinned "Yeah, not so much. Pepper saw this starting last night and already has the PR dept on it. It's almost all positive reactions so I'm not concerned."
Velvet looked pensive "almost all positive?" She started scrolling thru posts and comments and paled, looking up at Bucky.
Bucky smiled softly "Can't expect everyone to approve. I do have a bit of a reputation."
"Apparently you aren't the only one some disapprove of" Velvet said softly.
Bucky kissed the back of her hand "Doesn't matter either way. You wear the ring you're stuck with me now. What anyone else thinks is irrelevant"
Velvet laughed "I hope Mi never finds out you said that." She still felt a little pensive, hoping no one else from her past showed up trying to find a payday but didn't say anything. She completely trusted Bucky and the team, her family, to help her through whatever was coming.
When they were taken on the tour all of the employees were exemplifying the Disney excellence in guest services and they all enjoyed seeing the behind the scenes. The cast member only areas and taking pictures in Disneyland jail, which was just a security area with computers, monitors and live feeds flashing from every area of both parks that also had a couple of holding cells.
When the tour was done they were scheduled for an appearance at the Avengers Campus in California Adventure. Thanks to those back ways they didn't have to all walk thru the crowds in both parks.
The Avengers were greeted warmly by most of the packed crowd. Unfortunately some people couldn't act decent even in the Happiest Place on Earth. Velvet stayed on the sidelines and wondered if any of those trolls would end up in Disneyland jail.
It was going well until some jerks started heckling and throwing food at the team, mostly towards where Bucky was standing but with poor aim. He just took a breath and tried to let it slide until someone mentioned Velvet.
"What's wrong with your bitch? What kind of person agrees to marry a killer like you, Soldat? You should both be put down so you don't reproduce."
While that man was speaking a couple of things happened very quickly. Bucky bolted towards that voice in the crowd and Steve & Sam grabbed his arms to hold him back. "It's ok Buck. Let the park security handle it. Go check on Velvet" Steve told him.
Bucky nodded and looked to where she had been standing. "Steve, where is she?"
Steve looked around "Fuck".
Park security went to handle the heckler while 2 of them helped coordinate the search for Velvet.
The team all started spreading out looking for where Velvet had disappeared to in the packed crowd. After about 10 minutes Buckys phone rang and he grabbed it from his pocket so fast he almost dropped it.
"Y/N?"
"Yes, it's me. I'm ok. I'm in the first aid office near the front of the park" she tried to keep her voice calm so he didn't worry more.
"I'll be right there" he grabbed one of the security guards and asked her to lead him to the first aid office and called Steve to let the team know to meet them there.
When they made it Bucky almost pulled the door off and looked around the office for Velvet. She was on a cot, propped up on some pillows with a pained smile on her face. Bucky sat down and gently started looking her over.
"Buck, its ok. I was knocked over and couldn't get up because I wrenched my back when I hit the ground. I called for you but there was too much noise. I was surrounded by some good Samaritans who protected me from the crowd, went to get a wheelchair, helped me up and brought me here. I lost my purse, which had some of my candies. I have more in my luggage but It's in the room."
Bucky looked at her sadly "I'm sorry you got hurt, Doll. You still sure you want to marry me? This won't be the last time that my past causes an uproar. No matter how much good I try to do, for some people it will never be enough."
Velvet grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer for a deep kiss. When she pulled away she looked him in the eyes "You forgot something Sarge. I'm not some people.
Now, I need a ride to wherever our luggage is ASAP. Who's pushin?"
Bucky grinned "No one gets to push you around but me." He whispered in her ear "Do you think we can wrangle another nite in the Dream Suite over this?"
Velvet grinned "I was hoping to move in. We could summer here, winter in the Cinderella suite at Disney World."
Bucky laughed "We could probably arrange something. Anything for my Princess."
One of the security team stopped them with Velvet's purse, everything still intact. She ate a cookie while they waited for the team to meet them.
The rest of the team showed up and Bucky told them what had happened, Wanda gave her a gentle hug "We were so worried. Some of those people were awful."
They had dinner at the Storytellers Cafe in the Grand Californian hotel. They enjoyed a great meal with lots of laughs and pictures with the different characters that stopped at their tables.
Before dinner ended a manager came up to apologize for the ugliness earlier and comped their meal and rooms for the rest of their stay. The manager addressed Bucky and Velvet directly "Please accept our apologies and another night in the Dream Suite" she gave them her number and asked them to call as soon as they were ready to turn in.
Velvet grinned "An additional night, I see my plan to set up permanent residency inside the park is finally coming to fruition" she cackled.
Everyone laughed and Tony said "I hate to rain on your parade but Mi would kill me if I didn't bring you home eventually. You don't get to be The Phantom yet."
After dinner they were escorted to preferred seating for World of Color with drinks and snacks ooohhhing and aaahhhing at the show.
When Bucky and Velvet were taken back to the Dream Suite they were surprised to find champagne cooling and chocolate covered strawberries.
They drank the champagne while he fed her strawberries in a hot bath where he rubbed her back where the muscles were spasming and then all over. When the water cooled he wrapped her in a towel, dried her off and carried her to the bed. Bucky made love to her gently and slowly, wanting, needing to be close but careful not to hurt her, all nite until they fell asleep wrapped around each other as the sun started to come up.

Miss Velvet
Bucky Barnes x Reader
Chapter 10
Warnings: swearing, a little angst
On the drive home Velvet was silent. Still groggy from being drugged, trying to work thru everything that's happened. Bucky held her hand, rubbing gentle circles with his thumb working up the nerve to kiss it.
Indy greeted them at the door, noticing Velvet's state he refused to leave her side until Bucky helped her get comfortable with a brownie and a fuzzy blanket over her bed, which Indy made himself comfortable on.
Bucky sat on the side of the bed and tucked Velvet in, giving her a kiss on her forehead "Get some rest, love. You'll feel better when you've slept the chlorophyll out of your system. I'll come get you in the morning-"
"No, Bucky please stay. I don't want to be alone"
"If you're sure you want me to stay then I'll go sleep on the couch"
"NO, please stay with me" Velvet pleaded
Bucky looked into Velvet's eyes and saw the tear running down her cheek and groaned "You're not playing fair, I can't say no to you."
Velvet almost grinned "Well that's a healthy start to any relationship"
Bucky kissed her gently on the lips "Is that what we're doing now?" He teased
Velvet's expression changed to fear and more tears fell "I thought that's what you wanted"
Bucky kissed her again, a little more forcefully and tried to sooth her "hey, you're ok. We're ok. It's definitely what I want if you still want me."
Velvet choked, "Even after all this drama? After seeing those pictures? I wasn't kidding when I told you I'm broken. I belong with someone like Roger who is already too low for my past to hurt him. Tony and Steve and even Fury might be able to look past it but Gen Ross won't. It took so much to convince him to start my program and while I told all of them about my past, those pics are much more graphic than anything I brought up. Ross will think I was hiding it and try to find a way to end my contract. And Matt's father is a senator, they will try to bury me."
Velvet started to hyperventilate and Bucky could feel her heart racing
"No, we wont let that happen. You're ok, you're safe. I won't let anything happen to you. Now, I need you to breathe with me, slowly in and out. Look at me. I'm here, Indy is here -" hearing his name, Indy crawled up to Velvet's side and started licking her face and Bucky laughed. Velvet shook her head and laughed a little.
Bucky put his hand under her chin and brought her face up to look in her eyes "I'm not going anywhere and the team won't let Ross or Landers fuck with you. We're your family and will protect you always"
Velvet noticeably relaxed, her breathing slowing back to normal. "I'm such a mess"
Bucky pulled her close, kissed the top of her head and held her "Welcome to the club. I'll help you any way I can. Just tell me what you need."
Breathing him in deeply, Velvet snuggled into his chest "This is what I need. Just you holding me"
Bucky grinned "Your wish is my command, Love." He stripped down to his t-shirt and boxer briefs, then climbed under the covers with her, pulling her close to him.
Bucky tried to memorize everything about the moment. Velvet, warm and soft smelling like vanilla, her back spooned up against his front, her breathing and heart rate slowing. Bucky never expected to find someone like her or anything like what he was feeling right now. So peaceful and content. Until she started wiggling to get comfortable and his body started to respond.
Bucky groaned softly "You're killing me, Doll." and tried to think about anything else until his body relaxed and he dozed off.
It was still dark when Bucky was woken up by Velvet's raised voice "No, Roger, stop. Please!"
She sat up suddenly, panting and Bucky rubbed her arm gently. "It's alright, it was just a dream. You're safe and he can't hurt you anymore."
Velvet started sobbing "That's what I thought when we moved here and after the snap but he always finds me."
Bucky rubbed her back "this is the last time, I won't let him near you again. I promise."
She calmed down and finally fell back asleep.
It was 5am and Bucky couldn't fall back to sleep. He carefully climbed out of the bed, covered her up and took Indy outside to take care of morning chores. Velvets assistant Bobby was already there so they were able to get everything done quickly.
Velvet was still sleeping when he went back inside so he went to start breakfast.
Velvet woke up with a start, her heart racing until she was able to look around and see she was home. Then the memories of last nite came back and she looked around for Bucky just in time to see him bring her breakfast in bed.
"I made eggs and toast, brought your green butter for you, wasn't sure how much to use."
Velvet smiled "You didn't have to do all this"
"No but I wanted to. I get to spoil my girl so just enjoy it."
Velvet looked down with a small 'your girl?"
"If you'll have me"
"I guess I should give you a chance after everything."
Buckys smile took her breath away, he was so beautiful. Velvet kissed him over her plate, memorizing the feel of his lips on hers, soft and gentle.
Bucky pulled back after a moment "One thing at a time love. You need to eat. Unfortunately we have to go back to the compound for a meeting with Ross and Landers. You need your strength but don't worry, I'll be with you every step."
After breakfast and shower Velvet was feeling more like herself. Bucky held her hand on the drive to the compound and helped her keep calm.
Tony greeted them at the door "How are you today, Velvet? Did you get some sleep"
Velvet smiled, "Some. Enough to deal with this drama'
"Good, Ross and the senator are in the conference room. They tried to push for meeting with you alone but I won't have it. As far as I'm concerned you are part of the team and this involves all of us. We have your back."
They walked into the conference room and in addition to the general and the senator the entire team was there. Bucky squeezed her hand and they sat between Tony and Steve.
The senator spoke up "I think we need to do something about this security breach, completely unacceptable that this woman with her very questionable past is in a position to gain classified info regarding our defenses. Not to mention how she used and manipulated my son-"
The room broke out with everyone talking, some yelling, at once.
Steve stood up and in his best captain voice hollared, 'Enough!'
When everyone quieted Steve spoke up "Senator, with all due respect we have a serious disagreement with your assessment. Your son tried to force himself on her in an attempt to help get revenge for former agent Janell Marshall because Velvet wouldn't let her ride her horse."
The senator scoffs. "Lies! My son wouldn't do such a thing, this woman lead him on-"
Tony grinned "Wanna see the video? Its very clear who's forcing who and who doesn't want it. Not to mention he also helped steal some of my tech so that he could get his partners into the compound undetected. I was able to find video of that too."
Ross has been strangely quiet and finally speaks up "I'm more concerned with this breach, Miss y/l/n didn't disclose everything from her past and that's a breach of her federal contract. I've been given the authority to end that contract if I deem it necessary."
Velvet finally speaks up "I told you all about my past, my addiction and that I did some awful things to feed it, just not the details of some of those actions."
Ross looks straight at her "The contract you signed states you must disclose everything"
Bucky is seething, trying to keep it under control so he doesn't make things worse "The things she did only hurt herself, she never stole or hurt anyone else and has been clean for years. She helps people for gods sake. Most of the Avengers have much worse in our ledger."
Ross nods "I appreciate your input Sergeant Barnes but she is still a liability. I'm sure she's not the only horse person that can do her job"
Everyone starts yelling again. Tony smacks the table and stands up, angry and everyone shuts up "Here's the deal, she stays. Period. Or I'll use my escape clause and kick SHIELD and SWORD off of MY compound and you can find somewhere else to train and house them. The senators son shouldn't have been able to come back after what he did but someone reinstated his access, General Ross, and that's a breach of my contract. Matt and Janell are out and I will be pursuing any and all legal action available. Roger was kind enough to confess so between that, the eyewitnesses and the video I have, it seems they are cooked"
Bucky squeezes Velvets hand and whispers in her ear "I told you we have your back" She smiles at him.
Tony grins "So, what's it gonna be?"
Ross grumbles 'One of these days you won't hold all the cards, Stark"
Tony laughs "doubtful, I always come prepared"
The senator tries to defend his son "Matt is a good man and has never done anything like this before. I won't allow you to damage his career on the words of a drug addicted whore"
Velvet's face is blank, Bucky's hand on hers is the only thing keeping her there mentally as her worst nightmare plays out in front of her.
Natasha finally speaks up with a big grin on her face "I wouldn't be so sure about that senator. I've spoken to a few of his co-workers and he's harassed and/or assaulted half the women that work here but someone keeps covering it up. I even found some from West Point and his high school. Your dear son is a serial rapist since puberty. He never should have made it into West Point much less SWORD or cleared for the Avengers compound. I would suggest you walk away quietly before I start in on the people helping cover it all up. I don't think you want me to pull on that thread. It's all on this thumb drive." She sits down, crosses her arms and looks like the proverbial cat that ate the canary.
Velvet speaks up "Tony, Nat, Steve. I don't know what to say. I love you all for standing up for me but I never meant to cause all this drama. Maybe it would be better if I went back to Serenity. I'm not worth all this." She stands and tries to pull away from Bucky but he isn't having any of it and pulls her into his lap
"Please y/n don't talk like that. You're worth all this and more. None of this is your fault. You made mistakes, got caught up with some bad people who took advantage of you. You've done so much for us for me"
A chorus of yeahs backs him up with one emphatic "Fuck yeah!" from Peter.
When everyone silently looks at him he asks "What?" The team erupts in laughter.
"Stark" Ross says but Tony puts his hand up "Sorry, the discussion portion of this meeting is over. Its time for the celebration portion where we eat and drink because Miss Velvet isn't going anywhere."
Everyone cheers and stands up to leave but Bucky won't let Velvet up off of his lap "I kinda like keeping you close" he smirks, letting his left arm drift down from her waist to grab her ass.
"James!" Velvet scolds Bucky's grin widens
"I like hearing my name from your lips but can you say it all soft and breathy?"
Velvet felt her ears turning red. She lowered her voice and spoke softly in his ear "you mean, like this? James."
Bucky blushes and feels blood rushing to other places. He quickly stands picking Velvet up with him "On that note, I need a moment with my girl"
Velvet giggles "your girl? I think the idea is growing on me, Barnes."
Bucky looks offended "Just a minute ago I was James all soft and sexy and now it's back to Barnes? What the hell?"
Velvet laughs and Bucky almost swoons, he loves that sound "just keeping you on your toes"
Bucky shakes his head "You are trouble"
"I tried to tell you. Hope you can keep up"
"That's enough outta you young lady" Bucky says as he moves to kiss her.
