It's Samtember (love and light to those who celebrate). You'd think these dickheaded pricks would stop tagging SamBucky or BuckySam in their posts that shit all over Sam Wilson in favour of other Bucky ships etc. etc.

Kissing Sam Wilson #10 - Changes (SamBucky, 500 words)

@samsseptember prompt - Cap Quartet | Mission Fic

Not every mission was a good mission. Sam knew this, but that didn’t stop him from feeling utterly disheartened. He leaned back against the chair behind him and let his eyes close. Immediately, he felt Bucky’s warm hand against his shoulder.

“That sucked ass,” he mumbled irritably, refusing to open his eyes. “I really want to go home.”

“Me too,” Bucky admitted, running his hand down the length of Sam’s arm. He noticed Bucky was using his prosthetic arm to hold him, something he had gone to a lot to avoid in the early days of their relationship. “Extraction will probably happen in about an hour, though, so all we have to do is sit here and relax.”

Sam wasn’t sure he could do any relaxing after what they’d endured, but at least he had Bucky there. He grunted in response and turned himself inward so that they were a little closer. Bucky continued to rub a hand up and down his arm soothingly.

“I know they can’t all go well,” Sam admitted, still talking into Bucky’s arm. “It didn’t even go that badly in perspective, but man Buck, I’m drained.”

“I know Sam,” Bucky said. Sam focused on the feeling of his mouth moving somewhere above Sam’s head. “It was a lot and we’re just a little…shocked. Don’t worry babe, I got you.”

Sam was glad to have Bucky there. He pressed into Bucky's side, feeling the warmth of his body and his comforting words. Sam felt better knowing that Bucky was always there for him and that he had his back. He especially appreciated the fact that Bucky wasn’t there offering useless platitudes or downplaying how much it sucked. He was a good comforter in that way. He supposed that the man had been through enough to understand how not to help.

“Babe, huh?” he teased, enjoying the pet name. Bucky would have been mortified to call him something like that a year ago. A lot had changed in their world. “Yeah, it’ll be okay. I’ll be okay. Just gotta get this out of my system.”

“I’ll help you with that when we get home,” Bucky said with a bit of suggestiveness that made Sam laugh. Flirting so openly and obviously would have been hard for his partner back in the day, too. So much had changed.

Time passed slowly as they waited for their extraction. Luckily, the team came within the hour, just as Bucky had predicted. They stood up, met the group, and saw that Joaquin was at the head. Sam was really proud of the new Falcon and the role that he had taken in a lot of things.

“Need a lift?”

“First I got something to do,” Bucky said. Sam was delighted when the answer was to kiss him right in front of Joaquin and the whole team. Bucky really had changed.

Been Runnin' Ever Since

SamBucky | Rated T | 3,927 words | Complete | AO3

Written for @samsseptember's Samtember 2023, prompt: Riley

A very special thanks to @questinwitchface for beta reading for me!

Summary: Sam's still grieving over losing Riley when he goes on his first date in two years. He's not expecting to feel anything until he locks eyes with a man who's not his date for the evening.

Excerpt:

Grief is endless. That’s all Sam has concluded from these long months. Every day, he waits to feel lighter, to finally feel okay, but he continues to struggle with the loss of his partner. When he decided to try dating again it wasn’t because he necessarily wanted to but because everyone told him it was the only way to move on.

The bar is small. The music's loud enough that Sam has to nearly shout to answer each question his date asks. His date is... fine. Handsome, anyone would probably say. He has dirty-blonde hair that hangs in thick strands over his eyes, a strong jaw, and a drawl to his voice that makes Sam think he's originally from the South. He's nice enough, Sam thinks.

His date's name is Austin. Austin reserved them a table which in this tiny bar means one of the small tables that line the walls where the back of each chair is pressed up against another. But at least, he made a reservation.

Sam looks at his date again. Austin is handsome, he has to remind himself once more. He stopped seeing people after Riley. He knows what other men look like and understands people like Austin are attractive but it doesn't register in his brain when his head feels like fog most of the time, clouded by a grief he can never fully let go of.

When Austin gets up to use the bathroom, Sam shamefully lets out a breath of relief for the moment of solitude. He checks his phone, wondering how much longer he has to stay before seeming rude. Another twenty minutes, he decides, slipping his phone back into his pocket.

Then he looks up and meets the eyes of a man sitting at the table across from his.

Kissing Sam Wilson #7 - Dreams (sambucky, 500 words)

@samsseptember- Memories | The Future

“When we were together, Riley and I wanted something like this.”

The words surprised Bucky, leaving him gaping and unsure what to say. Sam rarely talked about Riley, and he didn’t blame him. Those kinds of memories were painful. He didn’t want Sam to have to dredge up the pain. He hated to see Sam in pain. Still, he understood he wanted to talk about this, so he turned his head and listened.

“Yeah,” Sam muttered. “We didn’t know if it would ever happen or not, but he and I always used to talk about having all this - a house, a family.”

“I’m sorry.”

It was such a simple thing to say. It was never enough. He knew that from experience. When people told him they were sorry for the awful things that had happened, it was shallow. It was a platitude with little meaning. Still, Bucky meant it with all of his heart. He wished that Sam could have had that with his former partner - even if it meant that they’d never have had this.

Sam smiled, and he understood that Bucky’s sorry was a genuine one, didn’t he?

“It’s okay,” Sam said, taking his hand. Sam held tightly to Bucky’s hand, like he was clinging to a lifeline. “Let’s go look at our house, Buck.”

The house was perfect.

It was a small house, humble compared to some of the larger estates on either side. Sam had gotten a good deal on it - turns out being a Louisiana hero meant something in homeownership. It was amusing, honestly, that the realtor had assumed they’d want something bigger.

“We’re just two guys,” Sam had said, shaking his head at the woman’s insistence. “We’re just two guys and we’re not gonna be home often enough. We need something that we can maintain…”

Still, as small as it was, it was really that American Dream, picket fence and what have you. It made him feel happy, honestly. Comfortable. It reminded him of what he’d wanted long ago, too. He hadn’t had someone like Riley. He had always assumed that his domestic dream would be fulfilled with a woman that he cared about, yet wasn’t attracted to. It was a fate he’d resigned himself to.

“He’d be proud of you, Sam,” Bucky said thoughtfully. He didn’t know Riley, of course. The man had been dead long before he and Sam first kissed. “He’d have wanted to see you achieve your dreams.”

Sam took his words at face value and didn’t point out the fact that Bucky had never known Riley. Instead, he gave a warm smile and nodded.

“He always said I’d do what I dreamed of.”

“Smart man.”

Sam grabbed hold of Bucky, in front of their little house and planted his lips on him. The kiss was quick, brief and expressed more than words could say. Sam’s dreams had changed a bit from when he was a young man, but he would always achieve them.

Kissing Sam Wilson #3 - Precious - 500 words - SamBucky

@samsseptember prompt #3 - Delacroix | Louisiana

Delacroix was calm. When Sam was young, that used to be something he hated. Now, he wasn’t that guy anymore and the calm, especially in the early evening, was absolute bliss. Bucky had his head on Sam’s lap and was asleep, if the steady sound of his breathing was any sign. They had been sitting on the porch for a while, just talking, when Bucky had dozed like this.

“Absolutely precious…”

Sam looked up to see Sarah watching them. They were staying with his sister while they settled the deal with their own Louisiana home. The job would take them away from it much of the time, but they had decided there was value in always having a place to return. It would be small enough to maintain and it would be theirs. It would be theirs to call their own.

“Oh shut up,” Sam said, but he couldn’t keep from smiling. It was true, really. He and Bucky were precious. They had been through a lot and they knew the value of the love they shared. “Our last mission was rough. He’s actually getting sleep, which is a miracle.”

“Fair,” Sarah said, shaking her head. “I’ll try not to wake him up when I go to start dinner. Keep being cute.”

With that, his sister made her way into the kitchen.

“You know, Sarah’s got a point,” Bucky murmured against his thigh, eyes still closed. “We are absolutely precious.”

“Hey,” Sam scolded, nudging him in the shoulder. “You’re supposed to be asleep.”

Bucky didn’t open his eyes or move out of his position nestled on Sam’s lap. “I am quite comfortable just like this, thank you very much,” he said with a playful snippiness that was downright adorable. “Plus, if I was asleep then I wouldn’t have heard Sarah say how precious we are.”

“You are kind of precious,” Sam said, stroking Bucky’s hair idly. “You know, like the way that someone says their grandpa is precious. Aw, look at grandpa being all silly and goofy again, y’know?”

Bucky hadn’t even opened his eyes and was still at Sam’s lap, but Sam could visualize his irritated expression perfectly.

“I’m going to let you get away with that because I’m tired.”

“Sure gramps,” Sam said, letting his hand continually move through Bucky’s hair. It was a soothing gesture for him too. “I’m so glad that we came back home after the mission. Needed this.”

Bucky shifted on his lap, rolling over and then slowly sitting up. He grunted in a way that almost made Sam make another snippy grandpa comment, but he was caught off guard when Bucky’s lips crashed against his. The kiss was brief, gentle and nothing like most of their kisses. Bucky looked at him and he could see emotion swirling around in those perfect blue eyes.

“Home, huh?”

The look in his eyes, now that was precious.

Kissing Sam Wilson #9 - King of Mardi Gras (SamJoaquin, 500 words)

@samsseptember prompt Carnival | King of Mardi Gras

Sam had forced Joaquin to come to New Orleans with him for Mardi Gras. Well, forced wasn’t the word, but he certainly worked to drag the younger man along. Having grown up in Louisiana, the Mardi Gras celebrations were just part of his life, his history. Joaquin, however, had experienced none of it. It was definitely going to be a lot of fun dragging him along.

“Honestly, I do not know what to expect,” he admitted awkwardly. “I’ve only seen some of this stuff on TV…”

“It’ll be fun,” Sam said. “The mayor asked me to come to the festivities and I…I couldn’t refuse, you know? It’s a part of my culture, my history and I wanted to expose the world to it. It gives good representation, shows them I’m one of them and all that. Also want to expose my wonderful boyfriend to what it’s like.”

“It’ll be fun,” Joaquin said, still a little hesitant. His shyness was adorable and had been unexpected when they first started dating. Joaquin had this suave, confident manner about him when he was working, but in their day-to-day, he had his own insecurities like anyone else. “Just tell me if I look stupid.”

“You could never, baby.”

Joaquin felt like he looked stupid, sure, but Sam couldn’t stop looking at him as they joined the festivities. His eyes lit up at the colors, the music, the culture. He was enjoying every bit of his time there. Everything was perfect until the mayor of New Orleans put a crown on Sam’s head.

“What’s this?” Sam asked.

“Oh, didn’t the mayor tell you…”

There was a look on his boyfriend’s face that was way too innocent for words. Joaquin toyed with the brightly colored beads around his neck. He had at least a dozen strands on, in a variety of colors. The gold strand was actually caught on his earring, hanging limply above the others.

“We’d like to crown Captain America, Sam Wilson, the king of this year’s Mardi Gras festivities.”

Sam could feel himself visibly paling at that.

“J.”

The mayor gave a speech that Sam was barely able to listen to. It talked about how Sam was born and raised in Louisiana and how his first time visiting New Orleans during Mardi Gras had taken place when he was only a small child. The mayor even told a hilarious anecdote about Sam’s inability to understand the rowdy drunk crowds or how his mother Darlene had marched him through the French Quarter covering his eyes when he was a kid. For a reason he hadn’t realized until he was much, much older.

Well, someone had told the mayor that story.

Once the crowds died down, the man got closer to Sam.

“Hey Captain America, you seem a little…surprised,” he said. “Like you didn’t know I was going to do that.”

“I didn’t.”

“Your partner said he’d give you the word. Like three weeks ago…”

Oh, he was going to kill Joaquin. But first, he had a party to go to. And Joaquin sort of distracted him by kissing the King of Mardi Gras in front of everyone.

Kissing Sam Wilson #5 - Facing Fears - SamJoaquin (590 words)

@samsseptember prompt - Fishing | Camping

When Joaquín had told Sam he’d never been fishing, it had become his mission to take his boyfriend out on a boat. Now that they were out there, using one of his neighbors' smaller fishing vessels, Joaquín looked so unnatural, so nervous. He was staring out onto the water like something underneath was going to bite him.

“Baby, you okay?”

The younger man shrugged his shoulders. He looked almost insecure, like he was nervous about what Sam might think of him. It was funny, those moments when Joaquín showed his nerves. He had such bravado that it was usually hard to think of him as scared or even a little nervous. Sam knew better than anyone that sometimes that was all an act, but still, Joaquín rarely looked so shaky, even under dire circumstances.

“I’m fine,” he said. “I just have never been out on the water like this. It’s a lot…bigger than I thought it would be.”

“It takes some getting used to,” Sam admitted. It was funny, because even though he’d grown up with fishing, being on boats, he kind of understood it. Like Joaquín, he had spent most of his life on planes, thousands of feet in the air without a second thought. Then, he’d gotten the EXO suit and started flying free, something that would terrify others. The open water, however, was a different kind of unnerving. “I promise we’ll have fun though. Catch enough fish for dinner and come back.” It was a quick trip, not meant to be more than a couple of hours. It was also beautiful, a peaceful trip with nothing to disturb them.

Joaquin was still tense, even as they reached the open water. The whole time, Sam kept one hand on the wheel of the tiny boat and the other on his partner’s shoulder. Once they found a good spot, he stopped the tiny vessel and put an arm around his boyfriend’s shoulder. Joaquín immediately curled a little bit closer in towards him.

They set up their fishing poles and then Sam took a moment to look out onto the horizon.

“I’m thankful you did this,” he told Joaquín softly. “I wanted to show you what this was like. I know it’s not your thing but…”

Joaquín turned towards him, the tension leaving his shoulders just a bit. “You did this a lot growing up?” he asked, a fondness on his face.

“Yeah. We took my parent’s boat out, which is a lot bigger than this though. But this one was easiest with just the two of us.”

The water was pretty still, calm and he was thankful for that. Any choppiness would probably have freaked Joaquín out like nothing else.

“I’m sorry I’m being such a baby,” Joaquín mumbled, his hand trailing up the length of the fishing pole. He met Sam’s eyes, warmth spreading over his features. “Don’t know why this freaks me out so much. It’s really cool, though, to see something that was a big part of your life. I’ll get over my jitters in a little.”

“You will,” Sam agreed, knowing that Joaquín was one of the most genuinely brave people he knew. Even if he decided that fishing just wasn’t for him, he’d relax soon. “Thanks for doing this with me. I like being able to share this with you.”

Joaquín scooted over tentatively. Together, they watched the water and when Joaquín kissed him, Sam was so thankful to have a boyfriend willing to face his fears, together.

Kissing Sam Wilson #8 - Sick Day (SamJoaquin, 500 words)

@samsseptember - Figaro | Sick Day

“I can’t be sick.”

Joaquin smirked at the insistent words from Sam. It sounded like something a child would say, whiny and petulant. Somehow, Sam made it cute. He whined and rolled onto his side, looking at Joaquin pathetically.

“Why can’t you?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Because I’m Captain America,” Sam pointed out. He looked at Joaquin with the most pathetic little smile. It was absolutely adorable. “Who ever heard of Captain America getting the flu?”

“To be fair, the prior Captain America wasn’t all human,” Joaquin pointed out, stroking his hand lightly down Sam’s arm. “That made him getting sick a lot less likely.”

“I guess so,” Sam said, still huffy. It was absolutely adorable to see

Sam like this, even if he was a slight pain in the ass when sick. “I really don’t have time for this, though J. Hate it so much.”

“I’m gonna go make you something to eat,” Joaquin insisted.

Sam let out a groan that was equal parts pathetic and adorable.

"What?" Joaquin laughed.

"I'm not hungry." Sam's pout was absolutely legendary and yes, he was going to be using this against Sam in the future. "I'm tired…"

"You still need to eat something," Joaquin said with a grin. "I'm making soup."

By the time he came back from the kitchen, a bowl of soup in his hands, Sam was half asleep. His nose was stuffy, so he was breathing heavily out of his mouth. He nudged the man on the shoulder, a fond smile crossing his face. How could Sam be so cute while sick? It was almost criminal, wasn't it?

"Sammy," he mumbled, the pet name coming out without him trying. "Sammy, did you fall asleep on me?"

Sam's eyes reluctantly opened.

"What?"

"Can you eat a little soup for me?"

"Don't wanna."

Joaquin choked a little bit on a laugh.

"Oh come on, I'll kiss you if you do."

Sam's eyes widened a little at that.

"I'll get you sick," he pointed out. "Don't wanna do that…"

"I'll take the risk," Joaquin promised. "I have a strong immune system.

Now eat something Sam…"

Sam groaned.

"Fine."

It took a bit more coaxing, but Joaquin got Sam to eat a total of five bites of soup before he pulled his blanket a little itghter, looked

Joaquin square in the eye and laughed.

"Kiss now?"

He was probably going to get himself sick, but that was okay.

Joaquin leaned over and pressed a kiss to Sam's lips and thne another to his forehead.

"Kiss, now nap," he teased, using the tone you'd use with a child."Love you Sam."

It’s a Sam Wilson fan event.

Is there any pressure?

No pressure at all. Fill one prompt. Fill all the prompts on for the month. Do however many you please.

Can I fill more than one prompt with one piece of art/one fic?

Yes! You can fill one prompt with one piece of art or fic. You can try to fill all 30 prompts at once with one piece of art or fic. If you can fill every single prompt from every single day in one fill, that’d be wild but it’s okay by the rules. You can do any number in between.

Are there any prizes for making anything for this event?

Should the work I make be Sam Wilson-centric?

Yes. You can make a gen work or a piece with any ship with Sam Wilson in it, but the main focus should be Sam Wilson.

There will be! They will come out daily.

Do I have to post my fic for the prompt on the day of the prompt?

You can if you'd like, but it's okay if you post a piece on a day other than the day of the prompt.

RULES AND GUIDELINES

What are the guidelines for the event?

I will be borrowing some of this from the MYSU Valentine’s Day Bingo 2022 Guidelines, since they were fantastic.

For Everyone:

1. Remember to tag @samsseptember in the post as well as #samtember2023.

2. Please also tag the prompt you’re using (for instance, if the square is “Redwing”, use “#redwing” as one of your tags when posting about it on Tumblr).

3. If you’re uploading to AO3, please:

a ) Say somewhere which prompt you’re filling.

b ) Add it to The Samtember Collection (under Samtember2023).

For Artists:

1. Create at least one piece of new art that can’t have been posted anywhere else before this.

2. All visual art forms are welcome:

a ) Gifsets or photosets, at least 3 gifs or photos.

b ) Aesthetic boards or moodboards, at least 4 images each.

c ) Drawing/painting, that is not a sketch.

d) Fan video.

e) Graphics edit.

For Authors:

1. At least 500 words.

2. Posted on Tumblr or AO3.

3. Can be part of a series, but should work as a standalone.

For Podficcers:

1. The podfic should at least be 10 minutes long.

2. It should be posted on either Tumblr or AO3.

3. The podfic can be of a fic made for the event, a fic not made for the event while still adhering to the prompt, or a notfic.

Things to be mindful of when creating:

For Sam

Avoid framing Sam only as a caretaker or emotional support for Bucky. Be mindful of Sam acting angry or aggressive in an out-of-character way and falling into the angry/sassy Black man trope (check out the MCU source material to help with character traits).

Avoid decentering Sam as a main character and refrain from focusing entirely on Bucky.

In art: avoid whitewashing Sam’s skin and research drawing Black characters.

General disclaimer: Race affects every aspect of his life, including interacting with police/government and the white structures of the world when it comes to performing his duties as Cap and simply being a Black man that lives in the U.S.

Specific Tags:

Avoid tags in AO3 like “Sam Wilson is a Gift” and “Sam Wilson is a Saint”.

Have fun and we look forward to your Samtember 2023 works!

For the last day of @samsseptember's Samtember 2023 event, I'd like to ask the crowd - what's one of your favorite Sam moments?

One of mine is the cookout at the end of TFATWS. Everyone happy to see and celebrate Sam? A perfect walk into the sunset moment? It's marvelous 🥰 What's yours?
