What kind of daddy/daughter activities do Bee and Bucky get into?
Bucky loves spending time with his daughter.
Pairing: Mafia!Bucky x Reader, daughter nicknamed Bee.
AN: Part of the Bumblebee series.
->Lunch dates
Lunch dates are her favorites. They go at least once or twice a week.
They have a standing reservation at one of Bucky's restaurants.
They have a reserved booth near the back, the table stocked with crayons and coloring books in anticipation of her arrival.
She absolutely loves it when the waiter turns pouring her juice into a wine glass into a grand production (it's actually plastic but no one is going to tell her that). She pretends to study the menu even though she can't read most of it yet. No matter what she gets, Bucky always orders an extra dish so he can try to get her to sample new foods.
Before their lunch date today.
Bucky glances down at his daughter, listening as she happily chats about her upcoming plans after lunch. She's been patiently waiting in his office all morning for him to finish up a few meetings.
Now it's time for lunch, he's been looking forward to this time with her.
Steve, also on his way out to interview Frankie's sister for a newly opened position at his club, accompanies Bucky and Bee to their car.
"And I'm taking Papa to Matteo's and getting him pelmeni," she informs Steve as she swings Bucky's arm back and forth, her hand in his. "And I wants 'sagna Papa. It's so yummy."
It doesn't matter that it's not on the menu, he loves this little girl more than life itself and if she wants lasagna, she's getting lasagna.
Bee continues, grinning at her uncle. "And no veggies cause my Tataie says I don't needs anymore."
Bucky shakes his head, he overheard his grandfather yesterday reassuring Bee that she could do whatever she wanted. "Is that so?"
"Yeah causeâcause I a big girl now. Tataie says so."
The enclosed glass bridge connecting his building to the garage gets closer. Bucky slows his steps, gesturing to the sloped walkway. "Does that mean you want to walk by yourself today?"
Bee peers at the bridge with disdain and then at her legs.
"No," she decides without hesitation, lifting her arms up. "Tank you."
After she's picked up, Bee goes back to her original conversation, now offering to get Steve food. She's unaware of how protected she is, never noticing the way her bodyguards and Steve subtly adjust their positions in one cohesive movement that shields her from view.
"I can gets you dis many pelmeni if you wants." Bee offers, her chin on Bucky's shoulder, eyes gazing up at Steve, holding up three little fingers. "And some peas cause my Tataie says you and Papa has to eat all the veggies. But not me."
"Why do I have to eat them?" Steve asks with a faux offended tone.
Bee shrugs. "Cause my Tataie says."
Steve flicks one of her ponytails. "Well your Tataie canâ"
"Steve," Bucky interjects with a raised brow, his eyes cutting towards him with a quiet warning.
Steve laughs it off before telling Bee that her beloved great-grandpa is wrong. Insulted, Bee leans back and heaves out an appalled gaspâand Bucky knows he's about to spend the rest of the day listening to his best friend and baby playfully bicker over who has to eat carrots and broccoli for lunch.
->Playground trips
After lunch, Bucky takes her to a playground near their home so she can burn off her excess energy before heading home.
Ever since the Frankie incident, he's been wary of bringing his sweet baby back to that place.
Even though you insisted that Frankie showing up to play with Bee wasn't an 'incident' and a 'betrayal', he decided to have a small playground installed in the backyard. It includes a gorgeous custom made swing set and slide that match her outdoor playhouse.
You still laugh whenever you think about the disgruntled, aggrieved expression on his face when he went to take Bee outside to play and Frankie was there waiting for them, beaming up at the mobster as he thanked Bucky for letting him play with them.
->Tea parties
Bucky is the honored prince invited to have tea with Bee and Mr. Tato. He's never missed one of her parties. You never missed a chance to get a pic of him in his crown. The tea parties are Bee's versions of a business meeting. She has serious matters to discuss. Last week, he gave her advice on how to defeat the dragons lurking around the art studio, this week she picked the color scheme for his new office. They share their newest secrets over apple juice and snacks. The party usually ends up with a cupcake-drunk Bee napping on Bucky.
->Business deals & meetings
Bee has sat in on more mafia related meetings than most adults. Bucky usually has her tucked away so she's close enough for him to keep an eye on without anyone knowing she's there. She has a miniature pink recliner that she lounges on along with an array of juices, coloring books, headphones and her iPad to keep her entertained.
When it's a meeting with trusted associates, Bee gets to sit on his desk and listen in. Her face lights up every time Bucky asks her opinion. She takes her responsibilities seriously and will consult Mr. Tato before responding which the mobsters find hilarious.
->Shopping
Bucky will have the stores shut down for however long he wants so they can shop without having to rush. She pulls him around the store, introducing him to all of Mr. Tato's friends. Bee is currently into Bluey & Elmo and has been amassing an impressive collection of items from their shows.
There's something so cute and sweet about watching a six foot something Bucky, dressed in a tailored suit, being led around the store by his toddler in her favorite bear onesie or ballerina outfit.
->Classic Cars
One of his hobbies is restoring his classic cars and Bee will lay across the front seat or on his work table, pretending to read the owner's manual to Mr. Tato, while Bucky works on the engine.
She loves holding the flashlight for him when he's under the car. And he's never made her feel bad for all the times that she's dropped it on him.
->Bedtime stories/reading
Bucky has been reading bedtime stories with her since the day she came home from the hospital. If he's working late, he'll FaceTime Bee so he can finish whatever story they're currently on.
Sometimes you'll find the two of them in the sunroom, Bucky reading to Bee and Mr. Tato before her nap. Depending on the time and weather, he'll take her to the terrace and they'll read under the stars.
Although right now, they're making up their own story, it's nonsensical, they don't remember how it started, new characters appear out of nowhere and Bucky's managed to slip in a plot line from The Godfather. They look forward to it every night.
->Mini carnivals in the fall & spring
Bucky has always said that his baby doesn't have to wait in line. And there are no lines when he brings the carnivals and festivals to her. He can have the backyard transformed into a mini Disneyland overnight. All the games are rigged in her favor and she gets to meet her favorite characters. When she gets older, he's going to take her to nearby amusement parks. For now, he likes the personalized set up he's created for her.
No matter what they do, the best part of the day for her is all the time she gets to spend with her Papa just having fun. Bucky is looking forward to their first father-daughter dance, her recitals, discovering new books, teaching her to ride a bike and more.
Is Dark Mafia Bucky at least sweet to her when she's on her period? And how does he treat her when she's upset? đ„ș
I just realized that the only period comfort fic I've written was the biker one. A soft dark version could be fun.
And dark mafia Bucky is always sweet to her. He even put a pillow and blanket in the trunk the night he took her from the restaurant đ âšïžRomanceâšïž
And for the second part, it really depends on why she's upset and if she's mad at him. Bucky is more than willing to have her take out her anger and frustration on him.
If it's more that she's sad, well you'll have to see how he handles that. It might surprise you...
wait. this is hilarious. They were contractually obligated to keep it, so when it was universally hated, they added an option to completely erase it from the dashboard without getting in trouble for removing it ...... "snooze tumblr live" is funnier than we thought
Guys literally all of this is good news ,..they're gonna be changing their approach to everything and focusing more on core functionality. which we all know this site needs. And they're not downscaling any part of the trust & safety team so moderation should .. at least not be getting any worse
âOne thing Iâm hoping with a more focused approach in 2024 is that we can streamline some of the extra things that were launched (like Live) that havenât gotten the adoption we hoped, and focus in on the core functionality that people use a ton of on Tumblr,â he said. âWe will likely be shipping less new stuff and more focused on improving existing functionality and core flows.â
âWhatâs super clear is our previous approach wasnât working,â Mullenweg elaborated in another post. âIt didnât turn around the business to make enough money to support the investment of infrastructure and staff needed to run Tumblr, and a lot of users were unhappy with some of the changes we tried. There have been a few staff changes within the team, but basically what weâre saying is starting January 1st, 2024 weâll try a different structure with smaller, more focused teams working on the core parts of Tumblr that people say they want improved. Weâll sunset or rollback some things we tried that didnât work.â
People seem to not know how old writers are when they make their stories.
Stephanie Meyer wrote Twilight in 2003, at age 29
Cassandra Clare started writing Mortal Instruments in 2004, at age 31
Rick Riordan published Percy Jackson & the Olympians, the book about 12yrolds, at age 41
George R. R. Martin published A Game of Thrones, at age 48
You can't even use the "but fanfiction isn't real writing" argument because of how many fanfiction turn movies there is. They are clearly enough of a story to be made into published books.
Anna Renee Todd's After series was a Harry Styles fanfiction, which was published in 2014, when she was 25
E.L. James Fifty Shades of Grey series was a Twilight fanfiction, which was published in 2011, when she was 48
Mortal Instruments was a Harry Potter fanfiction.
Why must they act like After someone turns 20 their life ends, like people can't have hobbies???
