Winterspider - Blog Posts

Spiderman knowing someone is watching him. Him just blowing kisses in the direction, maybe even pulling up his mask to showcase it better.

The Winter Soldier, pulling back from where he was holding the scope of his tranquilizer gun close to his face and just blinking in confusion. How is he gonna report this back to his handler.

Okay, but maybe Spiderman helps out the Avengers if they need it or if he is in the neighborhood. They don't know who he is. They want to know, of course. But respect his right to be anonymous. Doesn't mean they won't ask questions to try to figure it out though.

Maybe he lets more info slip on occasions. The latest was when he asked Bucky what he was doing for Rosh Hashanah. Which causes him to pause. Most people, if they know their history, know that Bucky was Jewish. But no one really talks about it though. And with the team not being overtly religious other then Steve who still attends mass. It comes as a surprise.

Says he doesn't have anything planned. Other then maybe relaxing.

And the team who is obviously listening in are shocked when Spiderman offers for Bucky to come celebrate.

" It's in a neutral area. Friend of a friend's apartment. Like... it's more Xmen people who I know but still! Ben Grim will be there. And well... probably Deadpool and DareDevil, even though they aren't Jewish. Double D makes me attend mass at least once or twice a year, so he gets forced to join us. We still get everyone together to celebrate and ... if you wanted, you could join..."

Bucky saying he will think about it.

And maybe once September rolls around, Bucky is standing in front of a door with a couple bottles of wine. He was not expecting this doe eyed college kid to open the door. A suprized look on his face. Looking Bucky over seeing him bringing wine.

There is lots of laughter in the background, Deadpool screaming that he wasn't going to lose in Mario Kart to a big Rock, aka Ben Grim. Bucky can see a man sitting at the table with red glasses and a cane, talking with Wanda; another shocker as she isn't around as much anymore. And there are a few other people cheering on the game in the living. He could hear lots of sounds coming from the kitchen. He focuses back on the one who opened the door,

" Hi, Mr. Barnes.... I uh didn't think you would actually show up....thanks you joining us! Not that we wouldn't want you to show! Oh god I'm rambling! Come in! I'm Peter Parker, by the way.... let me introduce you to everyone"

‘‘Great. Nice job, real nice job,’‘ Bucky muttered to himself as he turned to collect himself and take a breath before making his way over to Peter and kneeling down in front of him. ‘‘Hey, look at me, hey,’‘ Bucky coaxed softly as he guided Peter’s hands down from his face, taking in his bloodied face and wet eyes. ‘‘I was scared too. I’m sorry I yelled. I didn’t want you to get hurt-’’

‘‘I didn’t want that either!’‘ Peter cut in, shifting closer to Bucky as he sniffled.

‘‘I know, baby. I know,’‘ Bucky soothed before craning his neck to press his lips softly against Peters.

Steve was supposed to be Santa for the Stark Industries families Christmas party. He volunteered, does every year, and honestly, it just makes sense for Captain fucking America to be Santa.

This year, however, shit happened and Steve got called off on a mission last minute. Bucky, ever the Saint (in Steve’s and… no one else’s opinion. Maybe one other persons opinion) said he’d fill in. Their measurements are roughly close enough for him to fit the suit.

Tony wasn’t thrilled about the development, but, well, he was in a bind and Bucky was wiling and able and he had it on good authority from Sam that the centennial was, shockingly, really good with kids, actually.

Of corse, because Bucky’s life is a fucking joke, Peter had volunteered to be Steve’s elf like he did the last few years, too. His naturally delightful disposition and lean, short, stature just made it make sense. And Peter was just a sweetheart like that.

Of corse, for Bucky this was an incredibly amusing turn of events.

“Oh my god. You look ridiculous. You’re my elf?”

“I’m Steve’s elf. And you’re one to talk.”

Peter tried not to snicker at Bucky’s appearance.

“What, this isn’t doing it for you?”.

Fake white beard, coke bottle glasses, fat red suit. “I’ve never been more turned on in my life” he deadpanned.

“And here I said we’d never try role play”.

“Bucky!” Peter hissed.

“Okay doll, okay, I’ll be good, I’ll be good.”

“Good. Dont want to get yourself on your own naughty list this close to Christmas, do you?”

“Peter. we are both Jewish.” Bucky chuckled.

“Okay. Let me rephrase. You don’t want to be on my naughty list.”

“Well, that depends on what my punishment will be” Bucky purred.

“Okay you are without question the world’s horniest Santa. Let’s go. We’re gonna be late.”

“You’ve got it doll”.

Later that night, no one is surprised by the photo Clint sends the group chat of one Santa kissing one of his elves with a beer bottle in his hand.

Couldn’t have changed first? How the fuck am I explaining this to my kids?

This is like the fucked up gay version of i saw mommy kissing Santa Claus Sam teased

why were your kids still at the party at 2 am? Came buckys quick response.

Fair enough. Dare I ask why you’re still up at 4 am if you and Peter left at 3?

‘🤐’ was Peter’s answer before taking Bucky’s phone out of hand, and demanding he come back to bed.

Paralympian bucky barnes in target shooting getting the same “this guy is a hitman, this guy is definitely a hitman” response that that Turkish guy got, and then after going viral for that going viral for his adorably nerdy boyfriend

Bucky, head hung in shame: I need my arm recalibrated

Tony, sighing: and how did you fuck it up this time?

Bucky: *nods in the direction of Peter, in a corner of the lab, in his blue light sensitivity lenses and a Columbia hoodie, tinkering away on something and bobbing his head to whatever’s on his headphones

Tony: this is the third time you’ve dicked your arm up fucking Peter, you know that right? That’s excessive.

Bucky: wrong this is the third time I’ve fucked my arm up fucking Peter that you’ve found out about. Usually he can fix it himself

Tony: Jesus tits ever consider, I dunno, just being a little gentler? Little more relaxed? Lay off the wall sex for a bit?

Bucky: absolutely not I’m trying to keep him around

Just going to be thinking about how Bucky and Peter are both people who've been relegated to sidekicks living in the shadows of a "greater, brighter, more brilliant" hero. A hero that they care about but have been constantly compared to by everyone around them and by themselves. Both people who were lost after Endgame in a way that left them reeling and not able to really experience any closure, and struggling with finding their feet again after that; clutching onto a relic of their time together and working through a whole lot of denial that some things from the "good old days" weren't healthy

Neither Peter nor Bucky really got what the hell was going on at that airport, the most mental shit was happening, they were really just there, existing on the periphery of all this other bullshit developing with the Avengers and space and the quantum realm and whatever. They were both kind of pointed in a direction and told to roll with it from day one

seeing those two properly interact in live action again after what will be twelve years by the time Doomsday comes out, with how much of their storylines have paralleled, would be really, really interesting.

Not to mention I really hope Peter's more like his bitchier comic book self by then, since he'll be in his 20s and has gone through just all the trauma, so much trauma. That would be fantastic to watch bounce off Bucky's bitchy, traumatized sass too. God, Peter asking Bucky what his grown up name is, and Bucky just point blank saying "I don't understand" when Peter refuses a gun?? Right off the pages of the comics?? That would be pure gold.

Something about Peter wearing bucky's dog tag got me giggling and kicking my feet

Bucky, walking past a Barnes and Nobles: woah this place is still around? No shit

Peter: yeah there’s like a dozen of them in the city alone. They’re like, everywhere. Like there’s a monopoly.

Bucky, freezing: are you shitting me?

Peter: no…?

Bucky: Peter. The ‘Barnes’ in that name is a Barnes-Barnes. Like, my uncle.

Peter: you’re shitting me

Peter:… do your family was like-

Bucky: Peter, I had a car. In 35. In the depression.

Peter: right. Okay then. What do I do with this information?

Bucky: fuck if I know. I’m gonna make some calls and see if my stocks from 45’ are still floating around somewhere.

Despite the Avengers doing health magazine photo shoots and sharing their totally legit “workout routines”, Bucky Barnes is brutally honest.

When asked what he gets at a restaurant, he tells the reporter he gets what he’s hungry for.

When asked how often a day he works out, Bucky tells them he works out when he feels like he needs it.

Not every day is a contest to feel as healthy as possible for Bucky Barnes, and he would hate to make impressionable people feel that way.

Bonus points if Peter looks up to the way Bucky views his body and his lifestyle.

everyone was afraid of him

The Alchemy- Football Player! Bucky x Ballerino! Peter

Peter blinked and stared. But the image didn't change.

But there Bucky was. One Lego bouquet in hand for him and a different design still in the box.

" It's embarrassing on how long it took me to put this one together. Hoping you would be willing to help with the other."

Peter watching 30s and 40s movies with Bucky because it makes him so happy and he love making Bucky happy, loves seeing him laugh and smile so freely.

Peter watching 30s and 40s movies with Bucky and realizing this is the kind of romantic Bucky is. This is the way he tries to romance Peter. This is how he loves, a grumpy man with a soft heart for the one he loves.

Bucky chuckled at the remark Steve just said, taking a drag from his cigarette. It's a thing they both do while in the tower. They always stand on their own balconies and catch up.

He was about to speak when the balcony door slid open.

A sleepy " Babe?" came from the doorway.

Bucky turned his head to glance over his shoulder, and he smiled at the sight that greeted him.

A half asleep, Peter, wearing only his large henley, was slowly stumbling his way over. Only one eye partly cracked open to see the other still closed. Peter moves stand behind Bucky and presses his face into his back, wrapping both his arms around his waist.

"Come to bed. I need cuddles."

" Yeah? That's what they call it these days?"

Peter snorts a little and squeezes a small hug, giving Bucky's back a couple of kisses.

" I can give you wild ride in the morning. But I wanna cuddle with you tonight. It's too quiet without you. "

" Aw, Doll. You feelin' soft tonight and want pillow talk?"

Peter laughs a little and pulls away from Bucky to head back inside.

" That line might have worked back in your day but not on me. I'm tired, and I need your snoring to put me to sleep. "

" I don't snore,"

" Sure babe, don't be too long. Night Steve."

" Uh.. night Peter."

The door slides shut again, and Bucky frowns at it before looking back at Steve.

" I don't snore."

Steve raises his hands up in an ' I don't know ' gesture.

" You snored before the war... maybe you're just relaxed enough to... snore again."

" Shut it, punk. If anyone snores, it's you."

" Well, uh... 'babe' when did this happen? Does Tony know?"

Bucky points at Steve after putting his cigarette out.

" Not a word."

And then he opens the sliding door to his room and just as quietly closes it behind him. Steve is left alone on his own balcony, staring at the spot. Bucky just was out.

" Shit "

when i first listened to nobody’s soldier by hozier i misheard the chorus as “choose between being a husband or a soldier”

and if that isn’t the most winterspider thing ever

When people find out Tony and Peter are dating: Tony is evil he must've groomed that poor boy, is he really okay?

When people find out Steve and Peter are dating: What a beautiful and wholesome couple. Steve must take such good care of him.

Bucky didn't know when he got attached to Peter.

He doesn't know if it's when Peter smiled at him and ask if he prefers James or Bucky or if he had another preference.

He doesn't know if it was when Peter surprised him with a homemade dessert cause he found an account online that explores "vintage" recipes and thought Bucky would know best if it was right or not.

He doesn't know if it was when Sam made a crack at him and Peter ended up tripping Sam, giving him a grin before running off.

He doesn't know if it's when he caught Peter sneaking into his apartment to visit Alpine. And bringing her gifts. It's good to know that it wasn't Alpine stealing cat toys and bringing them home.

He doesn't know if it was when Peter asked if his arm was doing okay and if he needed any maintenance.

He doesn't know if it was when Peter invited him out to conney island.

He doesn't know if it was when Peter asked him to join him when he visited his parents graves, and ended up visiting his own parents and siblings. And Peter had brought beautiful stones he collected to put them on all the graves.

He doesn't know if it was when Peter was pestered him about history. Whether it was a historical event or something as silly as was this around then? Has it change etc?

He doesn't know if it was when he noticed someone else was paying attention to Peter.

He doesn't know what he is going to do.

Peter who’s never really been able to date because of his powers but tried not to talk about it because he’s insecure about it, and finds it embarrassing.

Virgin Peter who can’t even remember the last time he was kissed.

Peter who’s romantically and sexually stunted and knows it’s not healthy to get his emotional fulfillment from rom coms and books but that’s all he can do.

Peter who’s so naïve romantically, sexually. He knows of the horrors of this world and the universe but doesn’t know when he’s getting played.

Peter who gets so love sick with his crushes. Who yearns so badly, who can act on it for one reason or another but it’s so, so obvious. The wide eyes and loving looks, the sweet softness in his voice.

And the team knows it well by now, the phases of a Peter Parker super crush. The build up, when it hasn’t hit him yet but they’re watching him fall. The “she’s so nice” “he looks different, did he get a haircut?” “He’s so funny” phase. Then the crush itself. The crush that only grows deeper and deeper. The soft sighs, the head on his hand. The puppy dog eyes. The ‘obsession’. Maybe it’s brutal to call it that, but he becomes absorbed. And then the break. He realizes it’ll never happen and it breaks. And he’s sad, he’s mopey, little gives him joy. It’s an honest to god depression.

And when his newest crush is on Bucky, well. People talk. It’s the talk of the tower. It’s patronizing towards Peter and he doesn’t appreciate it.

Bucky noticed. Sure. Peter got more present. He’s everywhere suddenly. He’s sweeter, as if he wasn’t already the sweetest thing. He’s so obvious. Bucky can’t not notice it, even if he doesn’t acknowledge it more than a soft smile and a kind word.

Peters his friend- he’s all of their friend. And he’s the only one who seems to remember that fact right now.

It’s tactless, it’s disrespectful and worst of all it’s unkind. And he’s comfortable telling everyone to shut the fuck up about it.

The problem is, Peter’s thing… it’s working on him. Not that he can say it.

Bucky’s in the gym. It’s a hell of a gym in the tower. Sure weights aren’t doing a damn thing for half of them, but the facilities are immense. Super-heavy bags that he won’t knock off their stand, expansive facilities for sparring and mobility work and drills. There’s also a lovely meditation and yoga room.

And Bucky finally snaps one day in their little meditation circle. Some of them with… foggier brains like to meet regularly, meditate and commissariate. It’s a big group.

And Peter, sweet Peter, walks past the glass walled room on his way to the bags and grins and waves, sweet genuine Peter.

And that’s when the comments start. And Bucky’s had enough.

“Where are you going, Barnes?”

“To ask Peter out and shut everyone the fuck up” he grumbled.

I just want a fic of where Bucky is making his amends. Last person(s) on his list. The murder of Richard and Mary Parker. He took down the plane they were on, they turned down Hydra so they had to be taken out.

He knows that Richard had a brother and son(?) Records went missing.

He finds the grave of May Parker and runs into Happy while there.

Maybe Happy mentions that someone else visits her that he thinks is family, a nephew but he isn't sure.

So Bucky stalks the graveyard for this mysterious person.

It's clear from the images this has to be the child of Richard and Mary. But there is no record of him anywhere. Then again they worked with shield so maybe they were able to hide him.

Bucky trying to let Peter know and apologize. But this guy acts like he knows him or atleast knows more about Bucky's past then the average Joe.

" I know."

" That wasn't you, that was hydra"

" things they made you do... well.. it sucks and it was horrible but the fact you gotta be haunted by something that you had no control over? That's just as bad if not worse."

Bucky is intrigued by the guy.

And starts to stalk him a little.

He feels like he should know him.

Happy never forgets a face. Never. It's what makes him extra valuable to someone like Tony Stark. Tony Stark, who runs Stark Industries. Tony Stark, who is head of the Carbonell Italian mob; though, while there is some speculation, it's never been proven.

Happy had a system. He categorized people into color groups.

Green for these people are no bodies and didn’t touch the crime world and were safe to interact with.

Yellow for people who are some bodies but won't cauae trouble but have connections.

Red are people who have connections and could cause trouble.

Then their were Black. Those are the unknowns, and they could be as bad as the reds. People a little too clean. Or people who maybe could be someone undercover. Not enough information on them.

Before every convention, Happy makes a point to do background checks on everyone. He memorized all the photos of the people attending. Sure, maybe Friday helps break into the databases to get the photos, but he is just trying to protect Tony.

So when Happy saw Tony talking to someone, he was already going through the catalog in his mind to place the person. Catching Tony's eye, he touched his black tie to silently signal the group the person falls in. Doesn’t mean it's gonna stop Tony, but it just means he is gonna be a bit more cautious. Hopefully.

Peter Parker. 20 years old. Just finished with his masters at Columbia University in Biochemical Engineering. Mother was a scientist as well. Mary Fitzpatrick. Irish. No father listed on the birth certificate. She married another scientist 4 years later, Richard Parker. Both deceased. Plane crash. Italian Aunt and Uncle raised him. Uncle died later. Shot at a Bodega. Not their area, so not tied to them. Trained as a gymnast. Big brown eyes, wavy brown curls. Smart. Cute. Flexible. Just Tony's type.

But something nags at Happy as he watches Tony and Peter talk.

He glances around the room when he spots them.

The Winter Soldier leaned against a wall, looking around the room on the left side, looking a little too casual. At the refreshment table section was The Captain. He worked for the government but has ties to the Irish mob, though, like Tony. Couldn't be proven. He was staring at Peter and Tony with a frown, not subtle at all.

Then it hits. See, there were rumors that The Captain had a kid. Had them young before he was involved with potential mob connections. And he recalls another rumor going around that there was a small riff between The Captain and The Winter Soldier, a love interest that was not approved.

He has to get Tony away from this Peter Parker.

Peter Parker, who potentially could be the kid of The Captain Steve Grant Rogers.

Peter Parker, who potentially could be the love interest of The Winter Soldier James Buchanan Barnes

So I kinda had this story plot for a while but I have no clue how to keep it going or how to end it but I’m going to share it. This is a story for the ship WinterSpider btw, of course.

So basically it starts about right after Bucky had saved Steve from drowning. In my mind I’m like “ I do not care that this man is enhanced he literally had to pull a man that is made of pure muscle out of water and had just survived another epic battle, he has to be wounded, or tired in some way.” With that in mind I’m thinking maybe he made his way, by stealing a car, to New York where he runs out of gas and ditches the car and proceeds by foot. He keeps getting flashbacks of fights he got into when he was younger against a some guys from Queens. My idea is that with the flashbacks happening and with Bucky still being wounded he just curls up into a ball into an alley.

Peter was patrolling around the city , in his ‘onesie’ still trying to get over the fact that he now has super powers and still trying to grieve his uncle Ben, when suddenly his newly discovered super senses had made him aware of Bucky in a nearby alley. Peter having super senses could smell blood and hear Bucky whimpering in pain.

Now from there I have no clue as to how to build a relationship between them. I absolutely adore them as a couple but I keep coming up short as to how to actually build their relationship up.

But the ultimate climax of the story would be that Bucky had forgotten about Peter until after Civil War because his brain was just a little damaged. But then a new Big Bad is coming and they need all the help they can get. Peter was never recruited by Tony and Thanos was never a thing. But there is still a major villain coming. So plot twist here is that because Peter is the only one of his species, his DNA recognizes this and basically says “ We need more beings like us.” So Peter ends up as a teen ‘parent’(but technically mother since he births his kids) with James Buchanan Barnes (Bucky) as his baby daddy. Peter just believes that Bucky up and left him when in fact James just doesn’t remember. I’m going to ask that whoever makes this story please de-age Bucky a bit so that we don’t get the Cap’s Disappointment Eyebrows. But Peter does give birth to twin boys and he has to come clean with Aunt May because well you can’t hide the fact a teenage BOY is pregnant ,with twins no less. I kind of wanted to name them James Benjamin Parker and Grant Richard Parker. To at least have the boys have something of their father’s and to honor that poor little guy that his former love always talked about being sick and still getting in fights.

Anyways I got off track. The fact is they all needed to get together to help fight of the Big Bad. Peter gets recruited by Fury as I refuse to believe we would ignore a man that could bench press 40 tons (in comics at least). As seeing he wanted to keep his family safe, he agrees to fighting. Peter makes his way into a newly reformed SHEILD ,now called SWORD, meeting room to discuss battle strategy. He had to leave his kids with Agent Hill as his Aunt was just piled in work and Agent Hill said she would be honored of watch such adorable little bundles of joy. The babies aren’t that old maybe just about 6 months old and just love being near their mom. But once coming into the room Peter is suddenly pushed against a wall in the meeting room. With a feeling of someone’s hands on his shoulders he starts to panic and wonder why his spidey sense didn’t go off. When suddenly he looks up to find a very familiar set of blue eyes. But as soon as his mind catches up to him Bucky is being pulled away by Steve who is saying “Buck calm down! He’s not an enemy he’s just some kid!” And Peter is suddenly having to look over the God of Thunder shoulder to see if Bucky was either attacking him or just surprised by his presence that he just acted without thinking. I always wanted to see a fix where Peter has a brother-ish bond with Thor. But then Bucky said a few words that made the whole room freeze “ I know you.”

And of course there has to be possessive Bucky but a overprotective brother Thor to sort of block him. But you know Bucky just misreads it as a guy trying to take away his precious Peter. If these elements can be kept I give permission for anyone to use this plot idea. This could also be a NSFW story but it could also just imply that they did it. Just saying I like those gifs just as much as the next person.
