You pulled your jacket down in the mirror, brushing imaginary dirt off of it as you turned side to side. This costume wasn’t your idea, but the second you told Steve about it, he was practically sprinting to make it work.

Ohh I still haven't seen much of this series but... Secret engagement????? The rings worn in left hand only around friends and family is just reeking that trope to me, and we love that trope in this house. Probably because of his mob boss thing, it'd be dangerous for someone to know they're engaged?

I feel like the kids aren't their kids, not yet? A family friend's kids? Bucky's kids?

I love the costumes and I love Steve being ready to throw himself into what is probably not a flattering look with the whole lizard thing - although he can pull anything off...

I'm excited for what the future holds for this series!

Try secret marriage!! You’re right on the money with that guess, though. Steve doesn’t want to be too public about it because it mob business would be a threat to her, plus her job ties her to the government which can complicate her relationship with Steve. So yes, dangerous on multiple fronts, but they make it work!

Haha, Steve def looks good in everything, but yes! He’s so happy to have fun and do whatever to make Decks more comfortable. And anything for the kids!

“Steve held out an open palm for you to place your left hand in as he slid the ring with a sparkling diamond on your finger. The ring you only wore around friends and family. He reached in your breast pocket, pulling out his own gold band and slipping it in your hand for you to do the same to him, looking him in the eyes and smiling the whole time.”

What?!? How sweet! I love them not fighting…even though it’s always hilarious. And dressing up for the kids?!? How far along are we now? Neighborhood kids? Their friend’s kids, their own? Sooo many possibilities & they’re all so exciting!

Yes. As fun as their blow-up arguments are, the tender moments are even better!!! The two of them really love those kids and that’s all I’ll say. It’s a very exciting thing to get this glimpse of them years in the future!!!

Everything felt heavy as Curtis’s head lulled to the side. He was blinking back into consciousness as he awoke from a sleep that was anything but restful. The world was black. His muscles felt tight and sore as he tried to wiggle his fingers for sensation but his wrists were restrained by a familiar burning sensation: rope.

Chapter 2: Cooks in the Kitchen

From: The Rainmaker Series

Pairing: Mob! Steve x Forensic Scientist! Reader

Summary: Everyone hates a backseat driver. And a surprise guest when you’re not at your best.

Word count: 3,234

Content/warnings: TW: dead body and all you would expect in forensic science, I tried to make this not graphic, mentions of bruising, mentions of torture and abuse, sassy and borderline mean reader, awkward Steve who overthinks, reluctant? flirting, allusions to and mentions of murder

Author’s Note: For my dearly beloved @krirebr please know that you’re loved and appreciated by us all. I hope this helps, just a little bit. (Extra angsty, hopefully to your tastes)😘

What I’m gonna say is Decks seems very on edge compared to how she was before. Her guard came up out of ‘nowhere?’ Hm, that’s weird… or is it?

Anyway, these are Loupe glasses, if you’re wondering. They let you see tiny things up close and at a better angle.

Comments, reblogs, asks, and any feedback is so welcome and appreciated. Thank you for reading!

After your weekend at the farm, Steve drove you home to return to your normal life. As much as you loved being out in the country, city life was definitely more your speed. You immediately went back to work and were happy to keep your busy routine going. Sure, a weekend away from screens and solvents was a breath of fresh air, but this was where you thrived.

The longing between these two 😍🤌🏻

I hope Steve can win decks over, even if she's a bit grumpy right now 🤭

Yes! There’s some sort of draw there. She def wouldn’t let him hang around is there wasn’t some chance of her wanting to give in to him 😏

Chapter 7: Help the Bear

From: The Rainmaker Series

Pairing: Mob! Steve x Forensic Scientist! Reader

Summary: “If you ever see me fighting in the forest with a grizzly bear, help the bear, cuz that bitch gon’ need it.” Usually, you’d say this phrase describes you. You’re tough, and your enemies are the bear, but you might be more fragile than it seems. You might have to put aside some of your issues for the night, in favor of helping a friend.

Word count: 6,722

Content/warnings: Swears, punching, anger, deception, mob themes, crying, yelling, broken promises, mood swings, pet and nicknames, nice Bucky???, everyone lowkey walking on eggshells around decks, high stress, kidnapping, a bar fight, mentions of knives, misogyny

Author’s Note: I feel like this is a long awaited climax which lines up with Ch. 10 of YCMBWH and Ch. 3 of Handiwork. Anyway, I’m very excited for you to read it. I’d appreciate your feedback in all forms!

It was early Saturday morning when you stood outside of your apartment building, waiting for Gio to pick you up like you had instructed Steve. He’d sent you several calls and texts since, but you stayed radio silent, until finally, it all stopped. You didn’t have doubt, though, that he’d come through, and you wouldn’t have to drive that distance in your current state. The chance of a crash was far too high. Hm, maybe you should’ve taken Steve’s car then. No, no, you weren’t that mean. You shamed yourself for even having the thought.
