Summary
Bucky stomps his way to a stop in front of Steve. Steve looks up at him and smiles. His flat glare is all Winter Soldier, chilling to the bone, but the restless clench of his fists is Bucky. So is the stubborn set to his jaw when he demands, “Let me scent you.”
Without waiting for an answer, he begins to strip off his gear and set it in orderly rows on the coffee table. Derringer, holster, SIG, holster, mag-pouch, IFAK, Skorpion, belt, vest —
Steve’s eyebrows steadily rise. Surely, he thinks, Bucky hadn’t brought all those grenades for him. Bucky’s glare turns murderous when he notes Steve’s bland amusement, but by the time he’s done, dressed down to a t-shirt and cargos, he still hasn’t moved from his expectant spot in front of him, so Steve gathers up his wits and says, “Uh, sure, Buck. If you want.”
And then, without any pomp or ceremony, he’s got a lap full of serum-enhanced super-soldier.
or: Bucky’s memory leads him astray sometimes, but it works out just fine in the end.

Summary
UNDER REVISION
Without cryo, without resets, the Asset sometimes remembers a life that isn’t his and remembers the man from the bridge, Steve, making fun of him like the Asset isn’t something to fear. To hate.
Blue eyes seem to follow him everywhere like the laser of a sniper pointed at his chest.
—
Diverts from canon directly after Winter Soldier. Brainwashing can’t erase the love Bucky has for Steve Rogers.

Summary
Bucky swirls chow mein around his fork and stares vaguely off into the middle distance. He can feel Steve staring at him. Steve knows something is up. And because he’s staring, he’s showing Bucky that he knows. So Bucky knows that Steve knows, and Steve wants him to know that he knows. But still, Steve sits, and he waits, and he eats like, seventy chicken balls. Steve’s good like that. He’s definitely a keeper.
“So. We’re together,” Bucky finally fires his opening salvo.
“Seems so,” Steve answers stoically.
“Probably going to keep, you know,” Bucky gestures vaguely between them with his fork, “doing this.”
“I mean. I’m reasonably amenable. Keen, even.”
“Good. Right.” Bucky has another mouthful, just so he can chew and think, but that means he runs out of excuses once he swallows, “I have family. That I don’t mind, necessarily, keeping secrets from...but it doesn’t feel sustainable as a long term plan.”
“Yeah. That’s very fair, I think.”
“Okay.”
“Okay.”
“Good...so what are we going to...do about it?”
Steve shrugs, “I don’t know, what do people usually, do? Lunch?”

Summary
“bucky,” steve breathed, his voice trembling, barely more than a whisper. his eyes were glassy with desperation, his body writhing against the sheets, slick with sweat. “please.”
bucky’s wolf roared inside him, clawing at his chest, and he knew — he knew — he couldn’t stand this any longer.
he gripped the windowsill so tightly his knuckles turned white, his breath ragged. he wanted to go to steve, to hold him and help him through it, but he couldn’t. not yet.
steve gasped again, his voice breaking as he whispered bucky’s name. the words hit bucky like a fist to the gut.
“bucky…”
and bucky knew, deep down, that the next time steve called for him, he wouldn’t be able to walk away.

Summary
Steve is still angry as fuck, so he doesn’t mince words. “Why won’t you look at me?” he demands, stepping forward, fists clenched. “Why won’t you talk to me? Why won’t you touch me?”
His voice almost breaks on the touch, and now his anger toward Bucky twists quickly into despair and self-hatred. “It’s because I’m a freak, isn’t it,” he says more softly. “I’m a huge, disgusting monster and you can’t even bear to look at me anymore.”
He sighs and drops his head, relaxing his hands. This is it, he thinks. This is the end of everything.

Summary
After Project Insight, the Soldier is left without a handler, so it returns to the only one it knows is alive -- the former target, the Captain, the man it remembers kneeling for. At first he seems unfit for the job. His protocol is strange, and he does not want to use it like the other handlers did. But as the Soldier comes to know him, it begins to think he might be the best handler it has ever had.
___
A long story of recovery that attempts to wrestle with identity, personhood, agency, unconventional relationships, and weird consent. This verse assumes previous HTP and deals with rape recovery in a way that your therapist probably wouldn't approve of.

Summary
When Steve returns to his hotel just in time to witness a naked man being thrown out of a room across the hall, he doesn't think twice before offering his assistance. The fact that the man happens to have the nicest ass Steve has ever seen is entirely by the by and he knows he would do best to banish the image from his mind. Except who can blame him if that perfectly pert posterior sticks with him for longer than it should? Especially when it all happens again and this time the naked man turns up right at his door...

Summary
Tony finished his argument with Pepper, and cleared his throat. “ All right, listen up everyone. I wanted you all here because this might be a security threat, but it doesn’t affect anyone but you.” He pointed at Steve. “ There’s no gentle way to say this, so I’ll get right to the point. You have a daughter.”
Everyone gasped, but Steve just felt numb. That was impossible.
“ How?” He croaked.
Tony laughed mirthlessly. “ Keep your pants on, Cap, ‘cause that’s not even the weird part."
Or, Steve finds out he has a daughter who may be more than she seems.
This is set in an alternate universe where aunt May died with uncle Ben at the Stark Expo, and Tony felt so guilty that he adopted Peter. Original characters are made up from my head, and I've invented a lot of plot points. I hope you all enjoy :)

Summary
Based off of Luke Bryan's song Do I and Buckcherry's Sorry song. It's about troubles seem to worm their way into Bucky and Steve's relationship, whether it is someone creating trouble or their own doubts. Just read the story, it's better than this summary makes it out to be.
This story took me months to write. On paper it came out to be 130 pages. I really hope you all like it. i'm really proud of it.

Summary
A man wearing a light denim jacket over a dark blue shirt came into the shop, a box tucked under his right arm. Despite it being late afternoon, he was wearing sunglasses with bright blue lenses, and his long, dark hair was pulled back in a messy little bun. A few strands had escaped, framing his strong, unshaven jawline. The man looked into the café, smiled widely, and waved in Clint’s direction as he kept walking into the bookstore, and Steve’s mouth went completely dry.
Beautiful, was the only word to describe that smile; straight, white teeth framed by full, lush, red lips, bracketed by laugh lines and an adorable dimple in his right cheek, a charming little chin cleft just visible under the light stubble—Steve was struck literally speechless. And that was before he got a glimpse of the man’s backside. Slim hips and a round, firm-looking ass led to long, lean legs that were encased in snug, dark blue jeans.
“Guh,” Steve said, watching the dark-haired man continue on to the back of the store.
__________
A bookstore AU starring our favorite OTP, set to the song “So Alive” by Love and Rockets (from their fourth album “Love and Rockets,” 1989).

"I used to wish you were a dame sometimes," Bucky admitted, "then I could have just married you and everything would've been perfect."
"Marriage is more than just a financial arrangement," Steve reminded him.
"Not always," his friend pointed out, "but I assure you, I'd have been a very attentive husband."
"If I were a dame," he clarified quickly, only for Bucky to merely shrug.
"You wouldn't have to be now."

Summary
It’s not easy being a werewolf, but Steve Rogers knows he’s lucky. Lehigh's doing well under his care, the humans and werewolves thriving. He doesn't have a mate, but a bonding like that is rare, and with all the members of his Pack already mated, he knows it’s not going to happen for him.
Until the day it does, the realization literally knocking him on his ass.
That’s fine; he can deal. He’s an alpha after all, and while there are rules to courting when one’s mate is human, he knows he can prove his worth. Except no one told him how hard it would be. And Steve is really bad at this. Really, REALLY bad.
After a couple of rough years, Bucky Barnes is back on his feet and ready to start a new phase of his life. He’s been given a second chance and while Lehigh might not be as big as NYC, he loves his apartment, chonk of a cat, new job and crazy neighbors.
Except things have started to get weird. Maybe it’s because of all the werewolves in town, although he’s never had a problem before. Yet he can’t help but notice things have changed, with people staring at him wherever he goes, asking him strange questions, and stealing his lunch.
And it all started when a watermelon was left on his doorstep.

Summary
They say life can change in an instant. One moment you think you know what your future holds, and the next, everything changes. One event that will forever alter the trajectory of your life.
Twenty years ago, that happened to Steve.
One moment he and Bucky were sitting side by side under the star-filled sky; together and inseparable as they had always been. The next, their village was attacked; Raiders appearing on dragons and razing buildings to the ground – all the while taking any child that crossed their path as they tried to flee.
They took Bucky.
Bucky fought like a dragon possessed to get free. Steve fought like a dragon possessed to free him. But neither were strong enough, and Steve lost his best friend to the evil in the night.
Steve lost Bucky twenty years ago, and now trouble is stirring once again, threatening everything he holds dear. Things are happening that he is yet to see the end of, war draws ever closer to their borders - and the man with the metal arm that appeared is shrouded in mystery.
No matter his curiosity, one thing is for certain; he failed those he cared about once before, and he's not about to make the same mistake again.

He's being presented with his alpha on a silver platter!
