    Summary

    Bucky is a civil rights attorney and Steve is Captain America and they both are busy with their important careers and they are also both VERY HANDSOME and competent and should definitely kiss. But will they kiss?

    May contain: Jokes. Slow burn, like, for real (I need y’all to understand I really mean it this time). Extremely petty sibling fights. Very tired attorneys. Acknowledgement of the existence of scorpions. Extensive discussion of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. The Avengers all live in the tower and the exact timing in the MCU world being *hand waves*

    Warnings for: canon typical superhero violence, period typical (the period being present day) transphobia and homophobia. The existence of transphobia and homophobia are central to the plot, but there is no gratuitous detail of people being shitty. Extensive discussion of legislation against gender-affirming care (specifically: the characters are trying to stop such legislation).

    Summary

    In the wake of the Battle of New York, Bucky Barnes bade his old life, or what was left of it, farewell. He bought a deserted cabin in the Catskills, exchanged orthopedic surgery for woodworking, and built a new life for himself as a carpenter. Six years on, Bucky still leads a peaceful, if solitary, existence. Maybe it gets a little lonely sometimes, but that’s why he got himself a dog. And a cat. And a goat.

    In 2018, Steve Rogers finally hangs up his shield. He trades Avenging and New York City for the peace and quiet of the Catskills, grows a beard, and isolates himself in an attempt to salvage what’s left of his sanity and identity. After living his life in the public eye for so long, Steve believes that calm and solitude are exactly what he needs. Of course, he didn’t count on meeting Bucky Barnes.

    Summary

    Steve Rogers is the golden-boy guitarist/songwriter of Red Widow, the world-famous rock band fronted by Natasha Romanoff.
    Bucky Barnes is her adoptive brother — a painfully brilliant PhD in mechanical engineering working at one of the top R&D firms in the country.

    They’ve never met.

    A chaotic celebrity gala, one wrong hotel room, one drunken mix-up, and one photo booth later… they’re thrown together.
    And after the internet convinces itself they’re dating, Natasha and Pepper decide to lean into it for PR ... leaving Steve and Bucky in a fake relationship they both definitely, absolutely should not enjoy.

    Except they do.

    Summary

    James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes was Captain America's best friend his story was painted all over the measeum walls side by side with the Howling Comandos. He was then recorded in the locked files of the HYDRA vaults. But there is more to his story, much more in between the lines of his history and eventual pardon. So much lost time, so much missing information, so much story still left to tell.
    Please note that this fic is only the first of three potential future parts. This will be considered the 40s segment

    Personal note: This fic is very whumpy and an excuse for me to beat the shit out of my favourite character, because what else do you do with your favourite character than inflict unimaginable pain on them :) Please mind the tags and please excuse the fact that this fic is going to take me YEARS to complete.

    (Edit: I changed some of the tags recently since I'm not sure if certain aspects common place with Bucky's story and his time as the Winter Soldier will actually be in this fic since it's going to be split up into several parts)
