Summary: Is Sam Wilson dating Bucky Barnes?
Excerpt:
Oh wow, Bucky was red now. Wait, was this a date? Nope. Just a. Candlelit Dinner of Friendship. With a vase that sort of looked like Sam that was filled with flowers. Yeah. It was that. Just a friend dinner. With Candles. And flowers. Definitely a friend dinner. Sam tried not to think of that intrusive question as he turned his gaze down to the food.

The UPS Driver
SamBucky / Rated G / Complete
Written for SamBucky Valentine’s Day Bingo 2023 by @sambuckylibrary, prompt: Meet-Cute
This UPS idea has been sitting in my WIPs forever! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Tumblr media
Sam's had enough. Three packages stolen in the past two weeks — that's enough. If no one's gonna help him then he's gonna help himself. Thus, how Sam ends up sitting on his porch, on guard, each morning he has a package scheduled to arrive. 
It's been interesting so far. Interacting with the delivery and postal workers. They must not be used to meeting the actual recipients of the mail. Most of them are awkward as hell, timidly greeting Sam or clumsily handing him the package because they don't know what to do with it now that he's sitting here. But every package is now accounted for, so Sam is fine with enduring all the strange interactions he has to.
Sam hears the roar of a truck slow to halt and soon hears footsteps approaching his front steps. He lowers the newspaper he's reading and his eyes fall upon an unexpectedly fit body.
Jesus, that little brown UPS uniform might not be for such beefy thighs and bulging biceps. The man has both. Sam quickly lifts his gaze realizing how inappropriate his ogling must be but he finds the worker staring right back. 
"I can take that here, thank you," Sam prompts and holds out his hand.
The man is still frozen and it takes him a second to blink down and realize he is holding a brown box that he's meant to deliver.
"Oh um right, sorry — hi," the man smiles as he steps forward and hands Sam the package. Now that he's closer Sam can see how truly attractive the man's face is and with bright blue eyes that match the sky. 
"Hi," Sam echoes shyly and takes the box, "Thanks."
The driver stands there suddenly realizing this is all his job entails and briskly takes a step back.
"Well, have a nice day," the man extends with a little wave.
"You too," Sam returns and then shamelessly watches the man walk away. Those small brown shorts aren't hiding that cute ass either.
The next time Sam has a delivery scheduled with UPS, he ain't gonna lie, he's happy to see the same driver again. And the fine-looking man seems happy to see Sam too, he's smiling like a lot. It looks damn good on him too. Although what wouldn't look good on him — he's working that one-tone, paper color uniform for crying out loud. Which speaking of, looks even smaller today. Every corner of each garment is hugging his body tight enough that Sam vaguely wonders if the man swapped it out for a smaller size.
"Hey, Mr. Wilson," Bucky greets him clearly reading the name off the box he's holding.
Sam smiles on instinct. 
"Hey, Mr. UPS Driver," Sam responds.
The man chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Uh, it's Bucky."
"Bucky — as in your name?" Sam checks.
"Yeah, nickname anyhow," Bucky affirms as he hands the package over to Sam.
"Huh. Well, it's Sam."
"Sam," Bucky repeats like he's testing it on his tongue for the first time, "I'm glad you're still ordering things."
"Online shopping is the way of the world now, ain't it?" Sam jests.
"Sure is," Bucky agrees but his eyes are scanning Sam up and down with a smile that's downright sinful, "Hope you keep buying stuff. Have a good day, Sam."
Bucky waves goodbye as he steps off the porch. 
"Bye," Sam says distantly watching him walk away yet again.
It's not completely Sam's fault that Bucky returns three more times in the following week. Sam really needed... things. He bought a few things for his nephews, his sister, his living room and some other things UPS delivers. Sam can't totally remember what he bought. But the withdrawal from his bank account is worth every penny when Bucky steps back up on his porch with that tight uniform and charming smile. 
“This is probably my favorite house to deliver to," Bucky comments on this day.
“Oh, and why’s that?” Sam asks with a knowing smirk.
“The nice view,” Bucky grins and lets his eyes trail down Sam, “And good company. Not many people hang out on their porch.”
“Yeah well, I’ve been stolen from,” Sam reveals gravely.
Bucky doesn't miss a beat.
“Guess I’m lucky your neighbors are assholes,” he quips.
Sam laughs at that.
"Guess I'm lucky too," Sam agrees.
Sam's not really keeping track of the days. His late morning focus has become waiting for his hot UPS driver to deliver any which thing he buys, and then returns, from the internet. It's going well. They've started chatting a bit more on each visit. Sam's been contemplating how to make a move for a while now but he chickens out by the time Bucky routinely says, "Have a nice day, Sam."
Today is different. From the moment Sam sees Bucky walking up to the house, he's not just carrying a brown box in his hands. He's also holding a bouquet of flowers and a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Sam belatedly registers that today is Valentine's Day... not that he had any plans tonight anyhow.
Bucky steps up to Sam and holds the array of items out for him.
"What's this?" Sam asks.
"It looks like flowers and a box of chocolates," Bucky answers like a wise ass.
"Yeah, no shit," Sam smirks, "But I don't know who would've sent me them."
Bucky only shrugs and pushes the flowers toward him when Sam notices there's a card. He takes the bouquet and opens the note. As he reads it, his face softens.
The note reads: Dinner tonight? I'll deliver ;)
Sam slowly looks up at the blushing delivery driver.
"You asking me out, Buck?" 
"Nah," Bucky shakes his head, playing coy, "Asking you to be my valentine."
"In that case," Sam laughs to himself, "The answer's hell yes."

The Chance of You
(1.2k, T)
for @sambuckylibrary valentine’s day bingo 2023, square meet-cute/meet-ugly
It’s a bright winter morning, with clear skies and a gentle breeze, the sun a welcome kiss of warmth on Bucky’s cold cheeks, when they meet for the first time.
Bucky is seeking the warm, cozy atmosphere of his favorite coffee shop, his strides picking up speed as he gets closer and closer.
His phone buzzes just as he shoulders the door open and he’s momentarily distracted by Steve’s incoherent texts, so he entirely misses the body racing toward the door, equally as distracted.

A Royal Engagement
sambucky | E | 3+1 | 6k | an epilogue to the princess diaries au | ao3
written for @sambuckylibrary valentine’s day bigo squares surprise date, proposal, and candlelit dinner and @winterfalconevents winterfalcon bingo round 2 free space
summary:
three times Bucky tries to propose to Sam, and one time Sam actually proposes instead
excerpt:
Bucky starts counting as soon as he hears the door open.
He makes it six heartbeats before his trashy sci fi/romance novel is unceremoniously plucked out of his hand and he finds himself with a lapful of exhausted royal.
“Rough day, princess?” he asks, dropping a kiss on the top of Sam’s head and smiling.
He groans into Bucky’s neck, wrapping his arms even tighter around his torso. “Can I get rid of Parliament? Is that something I have the power to do?”
Bucky pulls back enough for Sam to get the hint to sit up, and Bucky waits until he’s settled to bring him down for a kiss. “You know you can’t, princess. You can fantasize about it, though. I’m all ears.”

The Bingo Card is:
Tumblr media
There are also badges for each fill. For those badges, as well as the FAQ and rules, check the information under "keep reading".

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

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What are the guidelines for the bingo?
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 @sambuckylibrary in the post as well as #sbvdaybingo2023.
2. Please also tag the square you’re filling (for instance, if the square is “pretend relationship”, use "#pretend relationship" 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 SamBucky Valentine's Day Bingo 2023 Collection (Sambucky_Valentines_Day_Bingo_2023).
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, at least 3 gifs.
b ) Aesthetic boards or moodboards, at least 4 images each.
c ) Drawing/painting, that is not a sketch.
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.
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.
For Bucky
Avoid phrasing “flesh/normal/human hand” to refer to the contrast between his prosthetic arm and his right arm. The phrasing is ableist. You can simply refer to his prosthesis when relevant, otherwise use “right/left arm/hand”.
Specific Tags:
Avoid tags in AO3 like “Sam Wilson is a Gift” or “Sam Wilson is a Saint”.
Have fun and we look forward to your Valentine's Day fics!
