You are very welcome.

Marvel Comic Universe, pre-serum Steve Rogers +/ Bucky Barnes + Rebecca Barnes, helping Bucky's little sister have a fun Easter on a non-existent budget

From:

“Did you finish it?” Bucky asked as he came in the door.

Steve looked up from the pot of soup he’d been stirring. “It’s on the table,” he answered.

Bucky leaned over, inhaling the smell wafting from the pot. “And the rest of the stuff?” he asked.

“As much as I could afford with the money we had from the list.”

Bucky hung his jacket up, before loosening his suspenders and letting them hang loose. “I’m going to get the basket from the closet.”

“Just be careful with it,” Steve cautioned.

The dark haired man returned with the basket they’d rescued from the trash and repaired cradled carefully in his hands. Setting it on the table, he began to sort through the goodies Steve had set on the table. There was a small stash of chocolate that Steve had obviously spent most of their money on. He’d added a group of penny candy and a bunch of brightly colored ribbons. Bucky had carefully carved a few small toys out of scrap wood, including a small doll. The crown jewel though was a book that Steve had painstakingly written and illustrated.

Bucky wrapped up a couple of slices of the applesauce cake (http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/1930s-applesauce-cake-depression-era-cake-424277) that they’d baked the night before and then proceeded to arrange the other goodies around the slices. “We can drop it off after dinner,” Steve told him. He turned around to see Bucky sneaking a piece of cake. “If you don’t spoil your dinner.”

Bucky looked slightly guilty, but then shrugged it off. “I couldn’t resist.” He held up the second book that was on the table. “What’s this?”

Steve’s cheeks reddened. “I made it for you. It’s a…”

Bucky had been flipping through it while Steve attempted to talk and he paused as he got a page or two into it. “You made me a Tijuana bible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tijuana_bible)?”

Steve’s blush deepened. “I thought…”

Bucky moved across the small kitchen and pressed a kiss to Steve’s cheek. “I love it.”

“It’s probably not holiday appropriate.”

“But you made it,” Bucky reminded him. “Let me get this cleaned up and then we can eat before running over to Ma’s.”

By the time Bucky returned from storing the basket, Steve had dished up the soup and was sitting down at the table. He’d moved the rest of the cake to the side and Bucky slid into his place, smiling at Steve. “We should walk Ma and Rebecca to church in the morning,” Bucky commented.

“Of course,” Steve agreed.

From:

For the rest of dinner, the young men chatted about their days, sharing what they’d done while they were apart. Steve went to grab the basket and wrap up a few slices of cake for Bucky’s mom while Bucky cleaned up once they were done eating. Then they headed out towards the Barneses, who only lived a few buildings down. Rebecca would be sound asleep, but Ma Barnes would be up and they could drop their treats off. Hopefully their small basket would be enough to make Rebecca’s Easter special.

Ma Barnes greeted both young men with hugs and kisses, exclaiming over the small basket and treats. She tucked the slices of cake away in the cupboard, promising to leave it for after dinner the next day. Bucky held up the basket and indicated the small alcove where Rebecca was. “I’m just going to leave this for her to find,” he whispered.

Steve settled at the table as Bucky snuck into the alcove. Rebecca sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes as he allowed the curtain to drop behind him. “What are you doing here?” Rebecca asked.

“Hey, Becky girl.” Bucky crouched down next to her bed. “Happy Easter.”

Her eyes alighted on the basket. “Is that for me?”

“Just some treats from me and Steve. You can’t look right now though,” Bucky told her. “Steve’ll be disappointed if you spoil the surprise.”

She leaned out of the bed, hugging him around the neck. “Only Steve?” she asked as he stood up, allowing her to hang from his neck.

“Maybe me, too,” Bucky admitted. “Wanna come out and say hi?”

“Yes!”

Bucky swung her around onto his back and carried her into the kitchen. “Look who wasn’t sleeping.”

Rebecca poked her head out from behind Bucky’s. “Hi, Steve. Thanks for the basket.”

“You’re welcome, Rebecca.”

Bucky set her down. “Might as well go get it.”

The little girl let out a squeal and hurried back to her room, returning a moment later with the basket. Heaving it up onto the table, she began to pick through it, exclaiming over all the goodies. Ma Barnes pulled the cake back out and the four enjoyed the sweet while Rebecca played with her toys. She even conned Steve into reading her book to her.

From:

Aww! I love how much trouble the two of them went to give Rebecca a special Easter! And I never heard of a Tijuana Bible before. Naughty Steve, doing one up for Bucky. ::grins::

Thank you so much for this fill!

From:

Of course they did. And they would absolutely make as much as they could but also make sure she got some sweets.

The Tijuana Bible came up in another fic I was reading (in a commentary) and I had this idea about Bucky and Steve (and Captain America) and the bibles. Your fic just happened to give me the perfect excuse to start laying the background.

Yes (heeee) Steve is a very naughty boy.

Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett/Danny Williams + Grace Williams, an Easter egg hunt SEAL style

From:

“What are you doing?” Danny demanded as he came out onto the lanai.

“Finishing the egg hunt for Grace,” Steve answered.

Danny took in the obstacle course that had taken over their backyard and his camouflage painted partner. “Babe… I said hide the eggs. Not turn it into the end of Hell Week.”

Steve’s shoulders’ slumped. “It’s too much?”

“Maybe a little,” Danny admitted. He looked around the yard. “Where are the eggs?”

Steve grinned, his teeth shining brightly through the cammo paint. “Some are in the course. And some are hidden in the sand.”

Danny sighed, knowing what would happen when Grace arrived. “She’ll love it, but…”

“It’s perfectly safe, Danno,” Steve hastened to explain.

“I would hope so.” Danny started to say something else, but was interrupted by honking from out front. “I’ll go get Grace. You stay here with all your… you.”

He was still shaking his head when he reached the front to find Grace waiting with Rachel beside her. Both females wore pretty pastel dresses and fancy shoes; although Danny was glad to see Grace’s didn’t have heels. As he came around the side of the house, Grace threw herself at him. “Danno!” she cried. “Mom took me to high tea!”

“How… fun,” Danny tried diplomatically.

“Yes, well, since you and Steven have her for the rest of her Easter Holiday, I wanted to do something with just us girls,” Rachel informed him. She looked at him suspiciously. “What do you and Steven have planned, Daniel?”

“Just an Easter egg hunt… Navy SEAL style.”

Danny had to admit the look of shock and annoyance on her face as Grace cheered was worth all the worrying he’d be doing as Grace ran the obstacle course. So very worth it.

From:

Bwa ha ha! Oh, yeah. I can see Steve all cammoed up and intent on making a challenging but safe egg hunt for Grace. Way better than high tea. ::nods::

Thank you!!

From:

I know, right??? Grace would LOVE it! And spend all of Monday bragging about it! And Danny will yell... but then secretly be disappointed if Steve doesn't do it next year.

Welcome! I've got more planned... but got sucked into a) my April story (I'm supposed to write 12 stories--one each month) and b) end of the year stuff for work.
