I’m amusing myself by looking up the bits people remember and sent in from this askmeme https://bomberqueen17.tumblr.com/post/629959327385600000/alexs-prompt-folder-anonymously-or-not-tell and I reread a bunch of the Star Wars stuff last night, which I had been holding off on doing, and boy I found the part where Poe talked about how a teacher predicted he’d become a drug runner, and – ooh I fucking hate every big intellectual property holder in our entire society, ugh, stories are wasted on soulless capitalists. ugh, anyway

but I had completely forgotten about that Bucky and Kate interaction and hadn’t even remembered which story it was in, so rediscovering that was a delight.

(it’s in facepunch https://archiveofourown.org/works/2152248, for the record, way down in chapter 9)

“Don’t say [Natasha’s] name three times, that summons her,” Bucky said, making a show of looking up at the ventilation shaft. He reread the note, laughed to himself again, then tore it into strips and balled them up, popping them into his mouth one at a time.

“What are you doing?” Kate asked, staring at him.

“You don’t burn shit you really want gone,” Bucky said, chewing. “Anyway I’m the fucking Winter Soldier, you think they let me have matches?”

“They let you have an eight-inch knife,” Kate pointed out.

Bucky picked it up, looking it over. “Girl,” he said, “this is four inches, don’t let boys lie to you like that.”

She snorted and almost fell over. “Jesus,” she said, catching herself against the cabinet.

“You think they let me have this?” Bucky asked. “I fucking stole it. If Steve knew I had it he’d take it away, but then what would I have to greet the bogeys in the airshaft with?”
