Crack drabble, imagine after Bucky gets healed from Wakanda and all that, he moves into the compound with everyone else. Life is honestly pretty good. Except one thing. At first he was going to just leave it but the more he thinks about it, the more its settled.
He's going to do it.
It's the one thing he really misses and its risky given how big the compound is, would Tony really even notice if there was a little 4 legged friend running around? Technically there wasn't a no pets policy in place anyway and it wasn't that different from a dog...not really.
One secret mission and 2 half eaten Henley's later
It wasn't easy. Bucky had to make 3 excuses that were only semi believable when he left and that was the easy part. The hard part was after he returned. Bucky groaned, stepping off the jet seeing that everyone was home, not a single person away for a mission to make his job easier.
"You better be quiet or we'll both get caught" Bucky hissed to his friend who was stuffed into a giant duffle tucked under his arm. He sped right through the living room without giving anyone a second glance, breathing a sigh of relief once he got to his room. He let his friend out, who didn't waste a second skipping over to the bed and hopping on, curling up onto a pillow. "Just like old times, huh" Bucky snorted before showering and going to bed himself.
Of course it was only going to be a matter of time before his secret came to light. Which happened to be the very next day when the stealthy super soldier when down with his new pet for a snack around midnight, his eye growing wide when Sam, Steve and Tony were also munching by the kitchen island.
"What the hell"
"Barnes..."
"Yes?" Bucky blinked innocently as if his friend hadn't made his way over to chew Steve's shorts.
"Is-is that a-
"BAAAA" the little goat blinked up at Tony before slowly walking up to him, letting his head bump against his hand.
"Aww, he likes you" Bucky smiled like a proud parent while the other three men stared at him in disbelief. It didn't take long for Sam to cave, scratching him behind the ears and cooing at him.
"Where did you get a goat"
"Wakanda"
"Oh- wait- YOU STOLE A GOAT FROM WAKANDA??!"
Remember, remember the 5th of November
I've said this before but the thing about how destiel played out is that pre- and during 15x18 you can buy that Dean believes that him and Cas are best friends, that he just wants to be platonic best-friends-forever with this guy, and spend all sorts of time together and share all his favourite things with him and know that Cas is never very far away. As friends do.
But after 15x18. Dean processes what Cas said to him. That Cas loves him. Is in love with him. And he makes that part of who he is. He decides to be the man that Cas was in love with. That's what his parting line to Chuck was all about. And maybe he still doesn't think in terms of romance, because why would he, why would he torture himself with hypotheticals, Cas died and Cas loved him. And Dean can be that guy. He holds on to Cas' love. It's his. He makes it part of himself.
So then when he sees Cas again. And he’s confronted with what Cas loving him and wanting him means practically. What can he do? What else can he do besides love Cas back? When Cas' love is already part of him? How could he be anything else but in love with the guy?
genuinely so enraged we didn’t get to see dean flirt with cas and be like “did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” and cas deadass looks dean in the eyes and is like “yes, dean, it did,” and dean flounders and is like “wait that wasn’t what I- I meant- you’re as beautiful as an angel” and cas goes “I am an angel, dean” and dean just thunks his head on a table and yells “I’m trying to flirt with you” and cas gets that confused scrunched up face before he’s like “oh”

everyone depicts alpine as a young ish cat but please consider: old lady cat alpine.
- bucky adopts her from the cat shelter because he's charmed by her ornery ways and the way she completely ignores him
- she will NOT move after she settles down for a sleep
- sometimes loses her balance when rubbing her head against bucky and ends up tumbling into his lap
- falls asleep curled around bucky's neck
- yowls like crazy at the Injustice of getting her nails cut
- bucky trims the fluff around her paw pads because otherwise she slips
- shows zero interest in any toys or cat sensory videos. bucky eventually gives up
- people think her hearing is going but really she just ignores everyone
- only eats the fancy cat food
- spends 90% of her day sleeping and/or in bucky's lap (still sleeping)
- refuses to go outside. bucky tried using a cat harness to give her a walk once and she stood with all four legs splayed out staring into the void
- makes weird huffy noises when picked up
- i need senior cat alpine who is spoiled like crazy by bucky
"alas" is a truly S tier english word. fantastic mouthfeel, makes me sound like a world-weary wizard, looks cool when written out. good job to whoever created this word.
I feel at home already

I mean need we say more 😏💚💙
the idea that you can trap a demon in a plant and that didn’t come up in 15 seasons of supernatural is so funny to me like yeah sure it’s because they didn’t come up with the idea and it’s not like the situation ever presented itself anyway but they should have put crowley in a plant for ME. and for castiel
