[11] words like rain, how sweet the sound

The Other-Wordly Meme

Words are magical things; they can have so many lovely connotations and varied histories.
Words have family trees just like people. They are linked to each other.
Some words are full of flavor and color and describe things you never suspected there were words for.
Words are why we're here.

The meme is simple: post a comment with your muse's name and canon in the subject line.
List any preferences you may have ("No Shipping," "No Smut," etc.), if you decide to leave the next step up to responders.
Responders (or original posters, if they so decide), go to the Other-Wordly blog and hit 'Random' until you get a word. Use the word as a prompt for an RP scenario. Do this several times, if you like. Mix and match. Have fun with it!
Don't stop with a word, though! Words can often have etymologies that are at odds with their current meanings. Words can shift connotations over time. Let your imagination carry you with the words as its wind.

Husbands

[onlytheremains]

He's laying with his head on Steve's thigh, a content expression on his face. He's lazy and tired and not in the mood to move at all.

And he knows he can do this, exist peaceful near Steve and not be judged. It feels good, comfortable and reassuring.

Steve's hand drops into his hair every now and again and Bucky practically purrs. He feels like he's loved, like everything is right with the world, at least for a few minutes.

He knows it won't last, it never lasts. Something will rear it's head and go south and make everything crumble but for now he's happy to simply exist which is not something he often finds himself thinking.

I want to put this for a lot of people but while I'm here and having no luck for Cupcake

Hopefully vague enough so you can pick the nerse,

Bucky doesn't always have nightmares. Sometimes they are there, raging in his head, tearing up his mind and pulling him down into their depths, but sometimes he doesn't.

Sometimes he's curled up next to Steve, content and warm and happy to sleep the night through.

Tonight was not one of the latter nights.

Tonight he's tossing and turning, murmuring in his dreams and tangling himself int he blankets.

He loves Steve, more than he even knows what to do with, but even he doesn't make the nightmares wash away entirely.

ahah! Cupcake please.

Bucky is an optimist.

Sometimes he's not entirely sure why. Sometimes he thinks he has every reason not to be, but in the end he very much is.

That's what's leading him to sit in the middle of the floor in he and Steve's new apartment, grinning like an idiot. Sure it's a bit of a shithole but it's their shithole and he kind of really loves it.

It's a step forward, to new things, to better thing sand he's overjoyed at being able to say they did ti, at least for now.
