Summary
Steve Rogers would be the first to tell you he's had it rougher than some but better than most. His job at the coffee shop lets him do his art, work with his best friend, take care of his ma, and ogle the muscular mechanics at the local auto-body shop. His health and his love life could be better, but he's very aware of how lucky he is to have it this good. Oh, and live in Brooklyn. Simple life, simple pleasures.
Is it really so much to ask to be able to get across the street in one piece? Apparently.
Before he knows it, Steve finds himself on a collision course with every hotrod coming out of the lot, with the quiet but hunkalicious new hire at the body shop, and with... well, romance.

Summary
The air’s heavy between them. Steve lets him go. If it wasn’t for the red light and twisting metal, and the fact that they’re stood on opposite sides of some line Steve can’t quite figure out, he could almost fool himself into thinking that they’re back in their time. In their Brooklyn apartment, waiting out a power cut, or in a tent in Europe, both too afraid to say how afraid they are.
Or, how Steve (and The Winter Soldier) found Bucky Barnes.

Summary
What if Steve wasn’t thrown into the water at the end of The Winter Soldier? Instead, he managed to stand face-to-face with Bucky and finally reach him?
What if that moment was the beginning of something fragile and hopeful, a chance to piece together the life they lost?
And what if it was never meant to last?HYDRA may have fallen, but its ashes still burn. And for those who want to see Steve Rogers fall, there’s no weapon more devastating than the man he refused to give up on.

Summary
The shield purred.
Well. If Steve wanted to be pedantic, the reaction wasn’t exactly a purr. It was still a piece of metal. But eighty years ago, when this had happened for the first time- the low vibration accompanied by this violently content sensation spreading across his mental link to the weapon, light pulsing gently along its runes and a low hum emanating from the center- Bucky had laughed and said it reminded him of a cat.
Steve had always, privately, believed the term was fitting. Something about the way it responded to his touch, like one of the alley cats that always strolled up to Bucky and started rubbing themselves on his pant leg after he'd stopped Steve from getting beat up by the asshole of the week.
Bucky had thought it was sweet.
Steve, well-aware that a semi-sentient magical object connected this intimately to a wielder took on more than just their magical energy signature, thought it was horribly transparent.
Or: Steve’s shield is a semi-sentient extension of his magic, and only allows the people it trusts to protect Steve as loyally as it does to touch it. That is a very short list. One that, apparently, includes the Winter Soldier.

Summary
“Well, in that case. Would you like to dance?”
First answer: no. I do not want to dance with this pagan prince and end up embarrassing myself thanks to the stick of propriety that has been shoved down my bodice since the day they first put me in stays as a kid. Second answer - and this is the answer that nearly bubbles up out of my throat: yes. Yes, I absolutely do want to dance with this handsome stranger. Prince Pretty Eyes looks every bit the spitting image of a Viking lord, and he has manners to boot, apparently.
I give neither of these responses, opting instead for my third answer: Sass. Lots and lots of sass.
“Think you can impress me, pretty boy?”
“Well, you already think I'm pretty, so I'm willing to take my chances.”
A FierroChase steampunk erotic mystery nobody asked for but you're getting anyway.
