Bucky is Steve's guardian angel. When he's taken after losing his wings, Steve must go on a journey to save him. Urban fantasy AU.
“But I'll protect you,” the stranger says, and that's when something strikes through Steve, bright and loud, and when he looks at the stranger—just a boy, taller than himself, but probably younger—he sees fire and wings.

Summary
It didn’t escape him that Steve shared his assumed last name. “Are you gonna be my cousin?” Bucky asked dully.
Steve frowned. “Husband, actually,” he said easily, holding up his left hand to show a typical golden band.
Bucky scowled and closed the door.

Summary
They look nothing like what they used to. Time and life have completely changed them. But as they sit there in silence, eating two halves of one cupcake, letting Brooklyn remind there where they came from, and enjoying a sky full of stars… They are those same little boys, somewhere deep down. For just a second, you’d be able to see them again.
And Bucky thinks to himself that maybe it’s little moments like these – fleeting as they may be – that remind him why life is still worth living.

Summary
Getting stranded on an ice planet with Finn after picking a fight with First Order scout vessels is not what Poe expected when he volunteered to do a supply run. On Hoth, a few things (okay, a lot of things) go wrong, and a couple of things go right. Eventually.
Or: Poe is bad with feelings, Finn is bad with words (except when he's not), and BB-8 has too many opinions for someone who wasn't even there.

Amidst the Rubble (We Can Build a Better Us) or "Five Times During Bucky’s Recovery and One Time Everything Was Pretty Okay" by EmilianaDarling
Fandoms: Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
04 May 2014
Tags
Summary
Steve wants to be a good friend, to be selfless and strong and endlessly patient. To be confident that he’s making the right choices, doing the right things. To be the person that Bucky needs him to be.
Mostly he just feels useless instead.
None of it is easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is.
[This fic is a sequel to "Reconstruction Site" but can easily stand on its own. This fic takes place chronologically third in the series but was written second.]

Summary
So yes, Bucky relishes the way Steve’s eyes dance despite his ailing body, and his mouth gapes in disbelief as he looks at the soup in the bowl and says: “Your ma’s.”
And Bucky nods, because yeah. His ma’s famous soup that’d seen Steve through more winters than Bucky could count, packed alongside thin sheets and warm bodies and more prayers than Bucky thinks any single tongue should know to speak: yeah.
Steve doesn’t bother with a spoon, but cups shaky hands around the curve of the bowl itself and lifts it, sips from the lip and Bucky reaches, one hand to steady Steve’s and the other to bear the weight of the bowl as Steve swallows, as Steve moans in relief at the heat on his red-worn throat and as Bucky’s heart soars and clenches all at once for it as Steve’s lashes flutter and he smiles—thin and aching but there.
Most of the broth is gone, and quick, if not the veggies and the beef, but baby steps, Bucky thinks. Small mercies.
Tiny victories are what win the war.

Summary
[sequel to 'Marvelous Things', from dave's POV.]
"Camping?" you echo skeptically. Spending a week without internet access isn't something you're eager to volunteer for. And you're not exactly the outdoor type. Sunshine is not your friend. Why he would think you'd want to spend your spring break in the middle of nowhere, out in the open, sleeping in a tent...
... in a tent with John Egbert, in the middle of nowhere, just the two of you... sharing a sleeping bag for warmth... no one to hear his doofy giggling... or any other noises he might happen to make...
A slow smile spreads over your face. "Whatever you want, baby."

Summary
Marco Bodt used to be a great rider- until an accident left him with shattered nerves and a wariness of anything to do with the giant black horse he used to love like a brother. He's given up riding for good, though still helps out at his mother's struggling riding stables. But his way of life is in trouble; Bodt's Riding Stables has a challenger in the form of the elite Trost Riding Academy, who prize winning over anything else. As tensions rise between the two stable yards, an unlikely grace appears in the form of one Jean Kirschtein, who spends the summer at the Bodt stables to settle a dispute. Jean is determined to get Marco back in the saddle by the end of the summer, and as the pair get closer it looks like he'll get his wish...
No Reins is a story about loyalty, horsemanship and the desire for something better- along with a speckling of love along the way, of course!
I will try to keep the Jean Horse Jokes to a minimum, I promise.

Summary
Modern AU where Marco Bodt is 26, the proud owner of a flower shop in New York City, perfectly content by himself having discussions with his flowers, when the man who broke his heart six years earlier walks through the front door.
Jean Kirschtein is a police officer, successful at his job and engaged to an amazing woman, living the dream his parents gave him. We got a straight male over here, that's right. But still, he walks past Bodt's Flowers every day just to see Marco's name and remember the boy he met in college, the boy he left. When it's Marco himself behind the counter, Jean's entire cookie-cutter perfect world changes.
Wisteria is about a police officer that finds an excuse to buy flowers every day just to see the shop owner blush. It's also the story of love, and whether it can survive the tests of timing, fear, and duty to others.

Two years.
It's been two years since we fought tooth and nail against the ruination of mankind, and for two years it's been pretty quiet. Marco and I, we're moving forward. Well, we were.
I guess a story about ghosts never really ends.
