I love Harry Potter and how fun is it to figure out houses and everything else in between? Can be set during all types of eras. Just let me know what character of mine you want, along with the scenario!

MAGIC: There are so many fun classes at Hogwarts and a lot of chances for mishaps. Can be practicing spells/potions/charms/hexes etc. Be set during an actual class. Duels!! Clubs are an option as well.

QUIDDITCH: Rough game, Quidditch. Can range from try outs, practices all the way to games. Pre - during or post.

ROOM OF REQUIREMENT: It can take on so many different forms and the sky is the limit.

HOGSMEADE: Nothing like a Hogsmeade trip! There are so many shops to explore and might be a thing or two overheard.

DIAGON ALLEY: Can be there for shopping, school supplies or a multitude of other reasons.

PROFESSORS: Maybe instead of students, they are professors at one of the schools instead! All kinds of possibilities for mayhem and mishaps.

ORDER/DEATH EATERS: Something set during the course of the books. Two Order members, two Death Eaters or maybe an Order member/Death Eater. Doing patrols, training, battles and so on on.

EVENTS: Yule Ball, Triwizard Tournament, Quidditch World Cup.

OTHER SCHOOLS: The various schools over the world! Can be a lot of world building.

CAREER TIME: Things set at the Ministry, St. Mungo's, the Newspapers, the Shops, Pro Quidditch, Cursebreakers, Dragon Tamers and so on. Can be employees and just something set in the locations.

SOMETHING ELSE: The sky is literally the limit. Maybe something with flying, the trains, floo powder, knockturn alley. Something with the Deathly Hollows or a multitude of other things!

( ooc: This can be set pre-Negan or post-all out war. Anyone can be alive that might not be because who cares about canon, right? If Negans want to reply that can be figured out. Can probably set a posting order to make it a little easier but any TWD character is free to respond. Let's have some feels, guys. )

[ Putting the last plate setting on the table, Rick stood back to just take it all in for a moment, marveling at how much they all went through to reach a somewhat point of safety. They had an actual wall protecting them and roofs over their heads, along with food. Heated food no less and running water. It nearly felt like another world or a little like the one before things fell into chaos.

When the food started coming out to go down the middle of the table, Rick moved to help, a rare happy smile filling his face. He couldn't help but to feel hopeful for the first time in a long time. ]

Come on, everybody take a seat. Got a lot of food here to dish out.

I'm up for just about anything and will gladly use regular Steve here, pre-serum Steve or rule!63 Steve - Stephanie. Just let me know which you want. Regular Steve can be during TFA, CA:WS, CA:CW, post CW or any other kind of timeline. Pre-serum Steve can be pre-war, during the war or time travel and in the present time period. Stephanie can be any time period.

Here are some suggestions -

PARTIES: Whether group based, like a surprise party or something more lowkey with just a duo.

OUTINGS: Something non-party related. Art museums, BBQ/picnic, dinner etc etc.

CAKE TIME: What's a birthday without an amazing cake? Steve's favorite is vanilla bean with apple frosting because it's what his ma used to make when he was younger.

PRESENTS: Good luck getting him to take anything. Birthday or not, he doesn't accept presents very easily.

DANCING: Always bittersweet but one of the ultimate ways to connect for Steve.

FIREWORKS: It's the 4th after all!

SOMETHING ELSE: The sky is the limit. Mix/match, come up with something else. Throw whatever at me.

[Sam's in the kitchen making a cake - or trying to, anyway. What he's really doing is attempting to play keep-away with the bowl while Steve keeps sneaking his fingers into the batter. He's already smacked Steve's hand with the spoon once or twice - clearly something his mother never did while she was baking - and he sports a streak of batter high on one of his cheekbones.]

Seriously, if I drop this bowl on the floor, there isn't gonna be any cake.

[...they both know that if he does, he'll probably just sigh and make another batch. He won't let Steve's birthday be ruined, goddamnit.]

[ Leaning against the countertop, Steve wore a very pleased expression, licking off one of his fingers in delight. For once, he felt a little less melancholy about his birthday and had Sam to thank entirely. The man usually managed to brighten him up without really doing much of anything. Just existing and breathing. ]

Well, you could share easier and then we wouldn't have a problem at all. Someone did not learn sharing is caring. [ With a wink, he straightened up to press a batter lipped kiss against Sam's cheek. ]

Sealed with a kiss. [ Now, he leaned against the counter with his back towards it, looking over at Sam like your move. ]

I am sharing. The cake's for you, isn't it?

[But the way Steve licks batter off his finger is goddamn distracting, and Sam's gaze is riveted on him. He swallows and turns back to the counter.]

Just let me get these in the pans, okay?

[Thankfully, he's already made the frosting, and it's chilling in the fridge - assuming Steve hasn't helped himself to that as well.]

If you wanna make yourself useful, you can hold the bowl while I spoon the batter, okay? Promise I'll let you lick the spoon and the bowl when I'm done.

[ Chuckling to himself, Steve grabbed for the bowl to hold it up as instructed. He made sure to let out a dramatic sigh, though, just to complete the image. ] Doing manual labor on my birthday.

[ When they finished sliding the batter into the pans, Steve decided to carefully hop upon onto the counter and start licking said spoon and bowl. Could anyone blame him with how good batter tasted? Besides, with the serum he couldn't really get sick of eating it. ]

You know you didn't have to do this. I would have been fine with just a happy birthday and a kiss.

I like baking.

[Sam shrugs and bends over to slip the pans into the oven. He likes all kinds of cooking, honestly, and one of the benefits of being with a super-soldier is that he always has an excuse to cook something.]

Besides, you're worth the trouble. Most of the time.

[He grins impishly at Steve and leans in to steal a lick of batter from the spoon.]

[ a nearly heartwrenching kind of fondness seeped into Steve's eyes, nearly as if he couldn't believe the sort of affection Sam offered so freely and easily towards him. ]

Well, I like you. [ overly cheesy but not any less true. ]

[ letting out a little gasp, this time he mimicked Sam from earlier and swatted his hand softly. ] What about the other part of the time? I'm just alluring then huh? Too much to resist. [ with a lopsided smile, he licked right up the side of the bowl just to see Sam's reaction. ]

The rest of the time, you're just trouble.

[Sam tugs the bowl away for a moment for a batter-filled kiss, smiling against Steve's lips. An arm hooks around his waist to pull him closer, till Steve can tell just what kind of effect all that licking has been having on Sam's body.]

[ there would have been plenty of quips but the kiss took over Steve's attention first. groaning into it, he kissed Sam more passionate, hooking an arm around his neck to pull him even closer. ]

[Sam pulls back for just a moment, leaning over to set the timer on the oven. Then he turns his entire attention to Steve, kissing him again before he kneels down in front of him. Since he's sitting on the cabinet, his crotch is at just the right height, and Sam smirks up at him.]

So, you want one of your birthday presents now?

[ Groaning for a different reason, Steve started to protest but stopped short when Sam moved to kneel on the ground. Well then. But because he is who he is, he can't just go with it without saying something. ]

Depends on what you plan on doing there kneeling on the ground in front of me.

[ A light joke, honestly, but there were a few things people did when they knelt down. ]

[Sam hums lightly as he pushes Steve's thighs apart, leaning in between them.]

Well, I can't say I'm here to pray, although one of us is likely to be taking the Lord's name in vain pretty soon.

[ breath hitching, steve looked down at sam with slightly hooded and quickly darkening eyes. one person should not be so sexy so easily. ]

Sounds like you're doing a lot of talking. The cake is going to be done before anything happens here.

Mm.

[Sam leans in and nuzzles Steve's thigh, reaching out to unzip his jeans. Reaching inside, he wraps a hand around his length, stroking him slowly.]

I'm positive I can make you come before the cake's done.

Steve's not big on birthdays -- no, scratch that, Steve's not big on his own birthday, and Matt is fully aware of this. Doesn't mean he's going to just let his friend pretend the day isn't special.

It's taken some wrangling to get Steve out of the apartment for a little while, on some invented errands that hopefully don't come across as suspicious. When he returns, it'll be to the smell of his favorite Thai takeout. A small table has been set up in front of the couch, holding a TV (borrowed from Foggy) hooked up to Matt's laptop and a stack of DVDs of movies Steve has expressed interest in seeing.

And there is, of course, a cake sitting on the counter, Happy Birthday Steve expertly written across the top in icing.

Just a nice low-key little celebration. No guests, no balloons, no big public fuss. Matt isn't even wearing a tie.

With a deep sigh, Steve ran around trying to complete the errands and positively ignore all the 4th of July hoopla going on around him in the process. Once, he enjoyed the brightness and the celebration going along with the day but since arriving home, well, he knew the darker aspects of freedom and how much some had to lose to keep it for everyone else. It seemed unfair in a way for him to stand there while others were six feet under. Others were depended on him.

Shaking the thoughts away, Steve returned back to the apartment, almost dropping the bags in his arms from the look on Matt's face. That little sneak! Smile pulling at his lips despite himself, Steve carefully put things down and without saying a word, he went up and hugged Matt. Sometimes even if he claimed otherwise, he wanted a little fuss. Of course, Matt understood.

Tucking his face against Matt's neck, he smiled a little wider. "Sneaky. I see now why you were trying to get rid of me." Pulling back, he cupped Matt's cheek for a moment. "Thank you." A slight pause. "Let's eat! That smells delicious and you have no idea how hot it is out there. Oh, and just so you know that's not sweat but water. Some kids are hosing people down with water guns as they pass by."

[ groaning low in his throat, steve's hips snapped up into sam's hands. no matter how many times sam touched him each time felt like a gift and something new. he kind of hoped the feelings never wore off. ]

That'll be an - ah challenge, Sam. You know I can -- [ the thought process fried as he felt himself grow harder. ] Come on.

Despite the moment of surprised silence when the door opens, Matt isn't worried about the reaction. Not that Steve never gets angry, but the utter gratitude he's always displayed anytime someone did something nice for him is a trait that isn't likely to just disappear.

It is nice to feel that wide grin pressed against his neck, though, and it brings a matching one to Matt's face. "I was a little worried you'd be in a hurry and catch me before everything was ready. Should have known better, you've always had great timing."

With a laugh, he nudges Steve to grab himself a plate and take it to the couch. "I know, you smell like tap water, not perspiration. Well...maybe a little perspiration. Nothing wrong with that, though." He'd rather smell a little clean sweat and a person's natural scent than get a nose full of heavy cologne, anyway."

Handing Steve a beer to go with his meal, he sinks down onto the cushion next to him, gesturing with his own drink toward the television. "I hope these are the right ones. Karen helped me find them, so if there's anything weird in there, I officially pass the blame to her."

Uh-huh, and you know what I can do.

[There's a grin on his face as he pulls his erection free and leans in, licking a stripe up the side. Sam just keeps teasing him for a few moments, gently licking, occasionally pursing his lips to blow on the wet, sensitive skin.]

Besides, I like a challenge.

[ Well, game on, Sam because Steve enjoyed challenges as well and just so happened to be one of the most stubborn people to ever exist. In any time period. Groaning low in his throat, Steve looked down at Sam pointedly. What a tease.

But he expected it, really.

Shivering, he still refused to beg for more, willing Sam with his body instead. Besides, begging would only help Sam win. ]

Taking the plate and the beer, Steve settled onto the couch with a content exhale. What a perfect evening already but Matt always knew what to do when it came to surprising him. They didn't happen too often but Steve usually made it difficult to give him anything or to be taken care of in any way. It used to be a downright nightmare to have him take his medicine back in the day or accept any sort of help with anything. His list of health risks had been really, really long then. But the experiment took care of it and he hadn't faced any complications yet.

"Matty, are you saying you like the way I smell?" Steve teased, fluttering his eyelashes with a laugh. "That's so romantic. It really must be my birthday. You're being extra nice." And not banged up or knocking on death's door either.

Setting his plate down for a moment and his beer, he picked up the DVDs to see what Karen selected. "It looks like she got everything. Except I don't remember mentioning this -" He paused to flip over the DVD to look at the back of it. The title read 13 Going on 30. "Seems like a romance film I think." He shook his head but with a shrug decided to put it on rather than Inception like he planned on. "Must be a reason she included it. She must have thought we'd like it." Best friend being in love with their best friend for years? Yeah, nothing at all similar to their situation.

[Sam gradually starts taking him into his mouth, a little more every time he bobs his head. Still slower than Steve might like, and it's clear that, despite the timer, he's taking his time with things. Sometimes he hollows his cheeks and sucks around him, sometimes he caresses him with his tongue. It's clear that this is an art form he takes just as seriously as baking.]
