    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

    “Can you fake it?” Bucky echoes with emphasis. “Stark needs to think he’s won in order to leave you alone, right? So what if we just pretend to go along with this plan of his for a while, and then Tony gets his victory and you get your peace. One week of indulging him with a little fake sexcation, and then we amicably part ways. You prove to him that you’re capable of being in a relationship but just not interested, and he leaves you alone. Problem solved.”

     

    .....................

    Steve is one big ball of sexual frustration and mediocre social skills, so Tony, being the nice friend that he is, goes to a matchmaking service to find him a partner. There he finds Bucky, a former Black Ops vet with a mysterious metal arm and a charming smile, and brings him home to Steve. Steve is too busy being hung up on his own insecurities to actually be in a real relationship right now, but he and Bucky hatch a plan to fake date for a week so that Tony will get off his back. What could possibly go wrong with a plan like that?

    Summary

    Steve and Bucky are discovered on the bank of the Potomac & brought to Stark Tower. From the beginning, everyone has one thing on their mind: Help Bucky. It’s going to be hard, but they're ready to give it everything they’ve got - and they’re the Avengers, so they’ve got quite a lot.

    ***

    “Hey, Buck,” Steve says, his voice soft. Bucky lays on his side, pressing a cheek to the soft carpeting, wishing he hadn’t ruined all his blankets. He hates feeling cold and it’s a little cold in his room. “You don’t have to talk or come out or anything, but… I’m going to lay here, okay? All night. I’m going to stay right here so you don’t forget that it’s different now. So you don't forget that you’re safe. You’re not alone.”

    Bucky doesn’t know what to say to that. Even if he did know, his tongue is doing that heavy-sticky thing again. Instead, he slides his flesh fingers under the crack in the door, barely able to fit the tips, and waits. A moment passes. Then Steve’s fingers are pressing right back.

    And maybe Steve is right. Maybe things are different, maybe he is safe, maybe he’s not alone.

    Maybe - just maybe - he’ll be able to get himself back after all, piece by piece.

    Summary

    Bucky gets rescued by some guy named Steve Rogers when some Hydra skinheads attack him in an alley. He has the idea that he'll have something sane in his life for once when they decide to go on a date, but then he learns that the guy he wants to date works for a secret organization named Shield and that Hydra aren't just lame skinheads that try to beat up punks.

    Summary

    Barnes is now glaring at him for some reason. It's somewhat terrifying but also, oddly, a little reassuring— because that's emotion right there, which means there's still somebody behind those eyes. Somebody who seems to think Sam is being a bit slow on the uptake. "Time parameters exceeded. Mission failed."

    "Wait." Sam narrows his eyes. "Is this some kind of... report? Debriefing?"

    "Mission report," confirms Barnes, looking pleased. Well, looking slightly less murderous than before.

    In which various people deal with things they never signed up for, but at the end of the day no one's particularly surprised.

    Summary

    Steve doesn’t like bullies, on principle. It's less about justice, or decency, or righteous indignation; more about the look in the eyes of the people getting stepped on, the people getting trampled, the people getting lost.

    So it cuts all the deeper, when Steve recognizes strength, precision, endurance, capacity: sees the pieces of himself not born but made, reflected in this body, this person, this weapon: the Winter Soldier.

    It slices through Steve’s soul when he returns the Soldier's gaze, and reads the only thing that lives in the deadness that pervades behind those irises in the night.

    It’s not You can’t beat me.

    It’s more You can’t stop them.

     

    For the prompt: The AU where Steve Rogers sees the best in everyone, and it is that quality that brings him back the person he loves most in the world; where Steve reaches out to help the Winter Soldier on principle, but when the muzzle-mask comes off, he finds Bucky Barnes.

    Summary

    Howl like a wolf while ironing on some patches! The Howling Commando’s Steve Rogers was seen with the one and only Wolf last night on what looked like a real romantic soiree. Candles and flowers and soft glances, oh my!

    Mind you, some anonymous sources from the restaurant itself said their conversation actually sounded a little “strained” - trouble in paradise already?
    _____________________________________________
    Punk rocker Steve and glitter pop star Bucky (aka Wolf) have been asked to write the single for the big summer blockbuster "The Winter Soldier". Problem: They hate each other. Bigger problem: the head of their record label, Tony Stark, wants to increase publicity by having the two pretend to date.

    With their musical careers on the line, will these two be able to set aside their differences and work together to get through this?

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes is an anomaly; he's physically an Omega but has the body of an Alpha. He has a lot of the stubbornness too.
    Steve Rogers is an anomaly; he's a romantic and he believes in the traditions his parents raised him with.
    There's something about Steve that makes Bucky's Omega brain say, Mine.
    There's something about Bucky that makes Steve want to be more than a little reckless.

    PLEASE READ
    This is my first ever foray into A/B/O dynamics and is my own response to a lot of the things in this trope that make me angry. In this world, a lot of the 20th/21st century ideas, like Women's Lib, Civil Rights, and the LGBTIQ+ movement are present, but focused on Omegas and Betas. Even if you don't much care for A/B/O, give it a try?

    Summary

    Publishing professional Steve Rogers hates flying. Nevertheless, when his boss asks him to represent their small LGBT publishing house at a worldwide romantic writers' conference in the UK, he cannot really say no.

    Cue two beautiful weeks in the picturesque English village of Thornton-le-Dale, during the hottest British summer for 50 years. The little bed-and-breakfast he is staying at is gorgeous - as is his fellow guest Bucky, the newly-single hunk staying in the room next door.

    The soaring temperatures have got everyone hot-blooded. It looks like it is going to be two weeks of scorching summer days and even hotter summer nights...

    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

    "Well, thank you for being a good sport about it," she says, looking at Alena over her shoulder. "She's decided she was right about you, you know."

    "Should I know what that means?" Steve asks, raising an eyebrow.

    "I imagine you'll find out soon enough," the woman says, laughing again. "I'm Natasha, by the way."

    "Steve," Steve says, holding out a hand to shake hers.

    "I know," she says, still looking amused.

    (or: Steve teaches art to kids. He's used to his students not always being focused on art, and he's used to them being very curious about him. He's not at all used to them trying to set him up with their adult family members, but he can't complain about it. Not when the family member he's been set up with walks through his classroom door and is the most beautiful man Steve has ever seen.)

    Summary

    Contrary to what most people assume, Steve likes the twenty-first century. True, it’s taken some getting used to and there have definitely been challenges; namely the public’s fascination with his personal life, folks more interested in Captain America than Steve as a person, and his teams’ endless attempts at setting him up with someone, no matter how many times he tells them to stop. Aside from that, Steve thinks he’s done OK adapting to this new world, and is nowhere near as old fashioned as most think. Except for one thing, a secret longing he’s had from back when he was poor, small and seldom given a second glance; having a professional matchmaker help him find his dreamed for omega, a partner to share den with and who would invite him into their Nest. But they no longer exist. Or so he thinks. Until a stroke of good fortune brings him into contact with Judith Bergmann, who introduces him to an omega named Bucky Barnes.

    Told in five parts, what follows is a slow courtship filled with plenty of obstacles, and threats big and small, but also letters, food, laughter, pedicures, lace panties, Pop Tarts, Steve displaying his colors, two ball busting dogs, a feline terrorist, and most importantly, love.

    Summary

    Steve clears his throat a few times. "Look, uh, Bucky. I want to apologize for my crass behaviour earlier this week. It was... It was rude of me to put you in such a compromising position at your place of employment, and I understand if you do not wish to interact with me any further -"

    "Captain Rogers," Bucky interrupts. He's fully grinning now, unable to stop himself. "It's fine, I promise. Everyone says weird stuff under morphine, it's pretty much a law of the universe. Believe me, I didn't find it rude at all."

    Steve swallows, averting his eyes as Bucky sets his dinner tray on the table beside the bed. "I just... I didn't want to make you uncomfortable."

    Bucky laughs quietly. "Don't worry Captain, you didn't make me uncomfortable. It was sweet."

    He doesn't know why he adds that last bit, but it makes Steve's cheeks bloom red again. "Call me Steve. Please."

    Steve looks up at him through long, thick eyelashes, and god, Bucky is in danger with this one.

    "Steve," Bucky repeats softly. "Don't worry. You were sweet."

    --

    Bucky never expected to have a patient like Steve Rogers.

    Summary

    SHIELD was the only intelligence agency that assigned werewolf and vampire agents to work together in the field, but the program had been a staggering success. They compensated each other’s weaknesses, complemented each other’s strengths, and a werewolf could feed a vampire and shake off the effects faster than ordering a pizza.

    Bucky knew all that. What he didn't know was why this particular vampire, one Agent Steve Rogers, was holding out a protein bar. They were perched in the rafters of a warehouse, waiting for not-overly punctual arms dealers to show up and deal arms, had been stuck up here for a couple of hours, but none of that explained vampires suddenly offering snacks.

    In his near decade as a werewolf in SHIELD, Bucky had worked with a lot of vampires, and they all tended to be pretty much the same. Steve Rogers was different, didn't fit the vampire mould, and Bucky couldn't quite figure out why.

    Not that it really mattered. Steve was just someone he was occasionally paired with on SHIELD assignments. It wasn't like he was going to have any effect on Bucky's life.
