I really imagine Sam Wilson to be a stress baker. World falling apart? Cupcakes it is. Steve getting increasingly reckless? Macaroon time. Arguments? Literally hundreds of cookies
Bucky was the one who figured out that Sam baked as a response to stress because he’s good at recognizing behavioral patterns and minute emotional cues, so every time something new comes out of the oven he goes to check in on Sam like “you know I love your sweet potato pie but are you okay? do I need to make anybody stop anything? cause I don’t want you having problems, man, I’ll settle for pie from the store”
(sometimes Sam is really just baking for fun but he appreciates that consideration for his feelings, even if the idea of Bucky making “anybody stop anything” can be slightly worrisome)
The time Bucky comes home and finds Sam making croissants from scratch he eats three, then rounds up the team to go see Congress about fixing the funding for VA. Pepper has half of one of the Nutella strawberry croissants and calls the President to make sure that he knows exactly what bill will be hand delivered in two hours.
The time Sam’s grounded with a minor injury and Steve and Bucky decide they can totally take that big HYDRA base without air support because they’re terrible, and Natasha drops by to find that Sam’s branched out into candy-making
she leaves immediately (phone in one hand, napkin-wrapped bundle of warm truffles in the other) and within eight hours Steve and Bucky are back completely unscathed because wouldn’t you know it, the base just spontaneously exploded before they even arrived, it was the damndest thing
One day Sam comes in and finds ingredients piled up on every possible surface. Pepper, Nat, Jane, Darcy, and Maria all give him the quivery lip and explain that it has been one really long week. They’ll happily make him dinner every night for a month if he just makes them bread pudding, peach cobbler, and those amazing little tarts. They’ll help, they absolutely will clean up, but for the love of everything they need dessert. All the dessert.
PAGING WHAT LARKS!
