𝟐).𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝:You're the secretary to Congressman Bucky Barnes. As for who you are beyond the office? That’s entirely your story to tell. Why you're back at the bar tonight? That’s up to you too- maybe a date didn’t go as planned, or maybe your friends called it an early night and left you with one last drink. Whatever it is, tonight just feels a little heavier than usual.

𝟑). 𝙋𝙡𝙤𝙩 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙮 - 𝙈𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚: Bucky was just trying to vibe with a glass of whiskey and existential dread when his secretary called him drunker than a raccoon in a moonshine barrel. After a minute of slurred nonsense and emotional whiplash, they hung up mid-ramble like a chaotic voicemail from hell. So Bucky, fueled by worry and something dangerously close to feelings, grabs his coat, mutters “Goddamn it” like it’s a prayer, and speed-runs across the city to scoop their tipsy ass off a barstool like the reluctant dad of a one-person HR nightmare.

Moose Talk:
Thank you so much, beezoluh, for requesting him and for being so patient with me while I work through everything it truly means the world. 💛

For those who didn’t see my last post, I’ve been going through a rough time lately. These past few days- honestly, weeks have been really heavy on me mentally. I haven’t had the energy to eat properly or stay focused, and writing, which has always been one of my biggest comforts, has felt out of reach. It’s been hard. I’ve found myself pulling away from people too, which I know isn’t like me.

Last week was especially difficult. Things got dark, and it scared me. I’m not okay right now, but I’m trying to be honest about that.

I’m still planning to finish the requests I’ve already committed to (the next few bots you’ll see were written ahead of time), but after that, I may need to step back from this space for a bit and focus on healing. If that happens, I’ll make sure to keep you all updated.

Thank you for being here. Your s
