Ten times Steve seemed inhuman (and two times he was all too human) by PerplexinglyParadoxialPerson
Fandoms: Captain America - All Media Types, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
05 May 2025

Summary
Sometimes the changes the super soldier serum brings to a person are beyond mere enhancement of their muscles, healing, and senses. Sometimes it seems to bring them past human, and their behavior can seem a little animalistic at times. But of course, they're only human, just like the rest of their teammates. Sometimes you just need the most extreme of situations (and their closest friend) to see it.
(Not as ominous as the summary may sound, it's mostly fluffy scenarios with some of angst for spice)

Summary
Why is it always Gotham that failed villains from other cities come to? At least Batman being turned into a giant feral cat isn't all that bad, not when he's focused on herding his children home, and the citizens of Gotham can safely watch from behind their cameras and post all about it.

James Barnes: The Underworld's Best Friend by PerplexinglyParadoxialPerson, WinterSabbath

Summary
“I get called in every time these things happen.” James motioned to the room. “Then I offer my expertise.”
Steve blinked. “Do these things happen often or something?”
“Well, not to this magnitude, no.” At the blank look the team gave him, James shrugged. “Usually it’s a vampire forgetting they can’t prey on humans anymore. Or a banshee causing trouble in California. The occasional fairy goes on a chocolate-stealing spree and it’s my job to give them a stern talking to. That kinda stuff.”
“Excuse me?” Tony held up a hand. “What the fuck?”
In which Steve meets James Barnes—SHIELD’s consultant for all things supernatural—and discovers that there is a much bigger world waiting to be explored, and the man who introduces him to this world is a lot more charming than Steve expected.

Summary
“I’m not looking forward to it,” Rowena tells him, as though that will absolve her of anything, “he may have a better solution for this, but the spell requires a smidge of spilled Grace. He’ll need to be hurt for this to work, and — Dean, all joking aside, you may be the only person fit to do this.”
“Oh, this’ll be great — go ahead, tell me why I’m the only one that can get butt-fucked to save the world.”
___
To keep Earth from being scorched and born anew, Team Free Will needs to complete an interrupted spell, reset the intentions of said spell, and unfortunately, a figurative virgin symbolic of the Earth needs to be 'fertilized' by the very literal celestial body of an Angel.
Don't worry, though, they've got Angel cuffs, and the Angel cuffs certainly will not fail. 'Cause that'd be nuts.

Summary
Fast and fierce, the Horse Guard protect the Kingdom and its people, and they welcome anyone into their ranks-noble, commoner, or peasant-so long as they can ride a horse like they were born to it. Guard Barnes—Bucky—has come to the Kingdom's largest horse fair to find a new horse. He's supposed to choose from one of the approved horses; instead he finds himself buying a tall, skinny, angry stallion with the ridiculous name of Steve. Bucky can't leave him behind, but he's nothing like what Bucky's looking for and everything Bucky doesn't want.
But Bucky's more right than even he knows because Steve's not a horse at all. He's a man under a curse, victim of a powerful sorcerer's temper and magic, and he's bound to never, by action or deed, reveal what he truly is.
It's gonna be one hell of a ride.
