More than a job

[mirrormirrormeme]

MORE THAN JUST A JOB It's only business, nothing personal...at least, that's how it started. You were pegged as the right one for a job that involves this person; your task could be positive, such as protecting them with their consent or without it, guiding them from point a to point b, and the like - or, as seedier transactions tend to go, it could be negative. You have to take them back to a place they really don't want to return to, you have to be a jailor, or you even have to be their assassin. At the very least, helping or hurting, you'll be compensated generously (by money or, you know, by not being killed off). And that was all that mattered. Until they mattered. They could have shown you something you never knew existed in the world or in yourself. They could have done any number of things, yet they've won you and your feelings over. Your priorities just may shift because of this, but will their view of you do the same as soon as they learn why you were around them in the first place? For your own gain? Will they be able to forgive you? Even if they can, will they be able to see you the way you see them? Comment with your character, preferences, role (the one with the job or the one who is the job), etc. Reply to others. Thread.

[ The general thrust of his life paints him as the perpetual job holder. Canon also points in the direction that, when he grows closer to the person who his work's centered around, things rarely end better than raging dumpster fires. ]

[ My preference is to play Bucky around CW-era. More info and thread ideas here. ]

[Hi! I live and die by this ship ftr. Would love to mess around with you with something around CW - Bucky in Wakanda and Steve visits? Steve courting him as one courts a terrified wary stray cat in the back corner of one's yard? Bucky reverting temporarily and trying to bring Steve in? Steve's in trouble somewhere and Bucky comes to help him (as usual)?

I realize that's not suuuper in line with the point of this post, lol.

Or anything else you might like?]

[themission]

[ I totally understand, I'm pretty much the same way! I like all of these ideas. Maybe courting wary Bucky post-rescuing Steve, with them hiding out somewhere? We could definitely write the rescue too, I'm always down for supersoldiers being badass. ]

[rogersed]

[Excellent! Maybe Steve gets into trouble while trying to find Bucky, and Bucky has to sigh a lot and reveal himself to help - we could start from there?]
