Hi there, friend! These are questions I can answer!
They actually met EXACTLY the way that Seg and Rebecca did: They were eight years old, Stella was in a fight, and Buck initially thought she was a boy because she had a buzz cut at the time. He waded into the battle and they were basically best friends from that point onward.
-They kissed for the first time when they were sixteen. It would have happened sooner, but Buck was terrified of ruining the friendship, so Stella had to smack some sense into him with her mouth.
-When they were seventeen Bucky was crossing the street at night and got hit by a drunk driver: his left arm had to be amputated above the elbow.
-They got married when they were eighteen, but waited until Bucky finished college to start trying for kids (Stella’s Bucky, Sweetpea and Padre are the three most highly educated of all of the Buckys and Steves in the Abide multiverse).
– Before the war Buck was a high school math teacher and was constantly fending off advances from awkward teenagers who think he’s tragically dreamy. After Stella got enormousified and went off to war Buck stayed home with the baby (a neighbor watched her during the day), and Stella managed to jump free of the Valkyrie before it crashed, because she had a family who needed her back home. Later on she went to work with Peggy at Shield, while Buck switched over to tutoring students at their house in Long Island so that he could stay at home with their four kids.
The idea of Bucky waking up and seeing a strange man in his bed spoke to me on such a deep level that I had to write it for you, so here it is, friend! Which Steve he ended up with should hopefully be obvious. 🙂
Dude I’m so sorry I got really excited and basically rewrote all of TFA plus some, please forgive please excuse this is so long and full of lady-hijinks
Hi there! Sweetpea’s about four inches taller, but they weigh about the same because Honey is enormously, ridiculously jacked. Like, Grant and Stepanya are more yer lovely MCU-style Rogerses, but Honey is a hulking comics-style Steve. The serum didn’t initially make him that big: he has an incredibly strict nutrition and workout routine that he uses to make himself as huge and terrifying-looking as possible, because I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS is kind of, like, his aesthetic.
However, in a theoretical future where he and Sweetpea have nice peaceful lives together, he slowly drops about fifty pounds of muscle from easing off on the grim bodybuilding diet and skipping workouts in favor of staying in bed and snuggling, so he gets to be Sweetpea’s tiny little 6′2″ 200 pound guy again.
Sweatpea, on the other hand, gets more into his grooming/workout/self-care shit the happier he is – he was a successful amateur bodybuilder in the ‘30s and really enjoyed the sport – so once they achieve Peak Domestic Sweetpea spends a ton of time fussing with his hair and terrifying the shit out of crossfit bros (on one particularly Good Brain Day he manages to ask an especially annoying bro whether or not living off of the flesh of your victims counts as paleo), and Honey spends a lot of time futzing around in his pottery studio and eating noodles in bed and cooing over how big Sweetpea’s muscles are, wow, so big and strong, so sexy, while Sweetpea preens.
Bless me Tumblr for I have Sinned: I just finished editing almost 3,000 words of entirely gratuitous and emotionally manipulative 1930s Sweetpea/Honey smut
Anyway here it is because if I’m going to hell I’m dragging all of you down with me
