    Summary

    “I told you,” Steve wheezes, as he tries to catch his breath. “Didn’t I fucking tell you we'd fall if you didn't quit pushing?”

    He’d laugh if he had any air left in his lungs. Instead, all he can do is stare up at Bucky as the sound of his carefree laugh winds its way around Steve’s heart. He barely even registers the cold seeping in through his jacket and jeans as he lies in the snow, attention catching instead on the snowflake clinging to Bucky’s lashes. Were Bucky’s eyes always that luminous? The crinkles around his eyes so endearing? Were his lips always that pink?

    Bucky’s laugh dies away at Steve’s continued silence. A strange expression settles on his face, like he’s looking into the face of a stranger for the first time, studying and cataloging Steve’s features one by one—eyes, nose, mouth.


    Based on this tweet, which has, sadly, been deleted: FUFJFJ ITS SNOWING A LOT IN NY RN AND IM WALKING HOME AND THESE GUYS ARE LIKE PUSHING EACH OTHER IN THE STREET AND ONE GUY GOES “YOU ASSHOLE STOP PUSHING ME IM GONNA FALL” AND THE OTHER GUY WAS LIKE “.... For Me?” and the other guy was like bro... no fuck you” AND THEY BOTH FELL

    Summary

    “Jesus!” Steve hurries forward. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.” Before he’s even halfway into the room, the man’s already on his feet and turning around. He has a face as perfect as his ass. High forehead, square jaw, pink lips with a hint of a natural pout. Short, wavy, dark brown hair. His wide, deep-set eyes are a clear and luminous gray. Those eyes widen as the man takes in the sight of Steve staring at him.

    Something about that wide-eyed, slightly nervous look catches at Steve’s memory. “Bucky?”

    Steve remembers a shy, sweet teenager, with soft round cheeks, eyes too big for his face, and a wild head of hair. If this really is Bucky, some time in the last few years, he grew into his face and is now so gorgeous that Steve’s having a little trouble breathing. The lean, toned body beautifully displayed by a black shirt and gray pants don’t help the breathing situation either.

    “You… have a beard now,” Bucky says faintly.


    or, Bucky finally gets to do something about his decades-long crush on his best friend's older brother...

    Summary

    There aren’t many things Steve won’t do to save his mother when her cancer turns terminal. Tracking down an ex-Hydra battle mage in the Dead Zone to offer his life as sacrifice for a cure is just one example. Turns out the mage has a conscience. He agrees to help, but he refuses to take Steve’s life. Instead, Steve must give up something else—something precious, something so dear to him it can fuel the magic to cure Sarah.

    Now, all they need to do is figure out what that something is...


    When Steve wakes up, just for a moment, he’s sure he’s in the wrong place. He stares up at the dent in the ceiling, the one he’d made when he got a little too enthusiastic about popping the champagne after graduating college. Next to it is the green arrow Sam stuck there so Steve would never forget that night. It’s the same ceiling he’s woken up to for the last six months. But for some reason, his mind insists it’s the wrong one.

    He blinks and the moment passes. He’s exactly where he’s supposed to be—in his room. Where else would he be?

    Summary

    Steve wakes to the feeling of a hot, heavy body pressing him into the mattress. Hands slide up under his shirt; one warm and callused, the other smooth and cool.

    “Hey now, Stevie. Why’d you go and put all your clothes back on? I just got them off.”

    Oh no. He’s dreaming of Bucky again. Of course it’s a dream. Why else would he be in Bucky’s bed. Bucky’s bed… Something about that detail niggles at him—

    “Let’s lose the shirt, hmm?” Bucky skims his hands under the hem of Steve’s shirt, sliding them slowly up. “Come on, baby. Up.”

    Baby? Steve stares at Bucky in surprise. That’s a new one. Dream-Bucky is usually pretty quiet. Not that Steve minds the endearment. He’ll cop to being more than a little jealous whenever Bucky had called his dates ‘sugar’ or ‘sweetheart’.

    Summary

    “Sir.” At the uncharacteristic interruption from JARVIS, everyone falls silent. “There is an unauthorized person in the back left-hand corner of the room.”

    Steve turns around, already knowing who he’ll see as everyone scrambles to their feet. Sure enough, it’s Bucky, curled up in an armchair, loose-limbed and relaxed as a cat. Long brown hair cascades around his shoulders and the tips of his ears are exactly as pointed as Steve remembers.

    Nat whips a gun out from somewhere and points it at him. Tony has a repulsor on his hand. Wanda’s hands are up and surrounded by a red glow. Only Thor seems unworried—resuming his seat after an initial moment of battle-readiness.

    “Bucky,” Steve says.

    Bucky glances around with bright, inquisitive eyes. The corners of his lips tip up in a smile, as though amused by the chaos his appearance caused. “We meet again, Captain.”

    Tony’s eyebrows are parked halfway up his forehead as he studies Bucky. “I see what you mean by Lord of the Rings, Cap.” Then, aggrieved, “JARVIS, how did he get in?”


    In which Captain America meets a flirtatious elf...

    Summary

    When Steve glances over at Hot Guy again, Hot Guy catches his eye and gives him a tentative smile. Steve’s brain shuts down and he looks away. But the serum gave him great vision, so out of the corner of his eye, he sees Hot Guy stand up, take two steps, get his foot caught in a backpack strap, trip, and fall down.

    Steve’s out of his chair and next to Hot Guy before he even has time to think. "Oh my God, Hot Guy! Are you okay?"

    His hearing is sensitive enough to pick out Sam’s whispered “Did you just call Hot Guy ‘Hot Guy’?” at the same time as he realizes what he just said.

    Hot Guy blinks up at him from the floor, probably too confused to stand up. "Did you just call me ‘Hot Guy’?"

    Summary

    Steve and Bucky get trapped together in very tight quarters. Oh no, whatever will they do...


    “So, Rogers,” Bucky drawls in the voice he’d reserved for ladies, young and old, and dance hall nights. “Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”

    “Fuck you,” Steve mutters, as his face burns.

    “Hey now,” Bucky says. “I’m no easy lay.”

    “Cut it out, Buck. It’s, you know… adrenaline.”

    Summary

    Maybe it's some weird acoustics of the shower area, maybe he's just attuned to Steve, but after he loops the chain over his neck and drops the tags under his shirt, his enhanced hearing picks up a small, shuddering gasp from Steve. Suddenly, he’s sixteen again, rubbing circles into Steve’s back as Steve struggles for air, he’s nearly a hundred and watching his metal hand choke the life from Steve—

    He heads towards the shower area, needing to reassure himself that Steve is fine.

    When he walks in, he’s confronted by the sight of Steve’s naked ass and back. Steve’s got one hand braced on the wall and the other hand... the other hand is somewhere in front of him, just about where his—

    Oh.

    Oh fuck.

    Summary

    Attention focused solely on the book, he moves forward, one slow, pretend-casual step at a time—he’s seen enough movies to know that moving fast will draw people’s attention.

    Five feet. Four feet. Almost there.

    He’s a bare three feet away when Rogers fucking materializes out of thin air, cuts right in front of him, and heads straight for the book.

    “Hey,” Bucky whispers furiously, “I want that book!”

    Rogers freezes. His head snaps around, and he gives Bucky a look filled with horror.

    He points a finger at Rogers. “I don’t care how hot you are, or how ripped,” Bucky growls. “My assignment is due today, and I will fucking fight you for the book if I have to.”

    Before Rogers can recover from his surprise, Bucky leaps forward, grabs the book, and clutches it to his chest.

    Summary

    “Jesus,” he wheezes, when Steve lands on him like a fucking elephant. “Steve. Steve.” He points at the title bar on the screen. “You made a public service announcement about safety first? Have they met you?!”

    “Goddamit, Buck. Don’t watch it,” Steve whines, while plastered to his back like a leech.

    “I’m watchin’ it, Rogers. There’s no way I’m not watchin’ it. Plus you’ve got that hot little suit on. Shows off all your assets.” He reaches back with one hand and pats Steve’s… asset. “Now shut up. I wanna hear you lie through the skin of your teeth.”

    Steve mumbles something into Bucky’s back. It sounds a lot like: “Wait’ll you see the one about detention.”

    Summary

    “Hey Buck, what's wrong?”

    Bucky grimaces as he sits down next to Steve. “It aches sometimes,” he says, as he rotates his left arm.

    Steve puts down the report he’s reading. “I could massage it for you? I had a physiotherapist after I came out of the ice. The massage really helped when I overdid things while getting back into condition.”

    “You?” Bucky pauses mid-rotation, a look of patent disbelief on his face. “Overdo things? Say it ain’t so.”

    “Very funny.” He tries to ignore the way his heart is pounding. “You want that massage or what.”

    Summary

    Bucky stops dead in his tracks when he spots Steve standing in the middle of their living room with his arms cuffed in front of him. His eyebrows climb up, up, up. “Whatcha got there, Stevie?”

    Steve gives him a flat stare. “What’s it look like?”

    A predatory gleam lights Bucky’s eyes. “It looks like,” he says slyly as he stalks forward, “I’ve got you completely at my mercy.”

    Summary

    A man exits the building. Approximately 5’6”, thin, tired-looking. A suitable target. He needs someone he can overpower quickly and quietly. He’s injured from the fight on the helicarriers, and weak from hunger, and blood-loss.

    A streetlight illuminates the target’s face as he passes under it. That one brief glimpse of a narrow face and glowing blond hair sets his heart rate climbing. Something presses at the edges of his mind, like the wingbeats of night moths against a pane of glass. He ignores it, like he ignores the phantom voice that comes when he’s too long out of cryo. He walks towards the target, knife in hand.


    What if… What if Captain America died on the Valkyrie. What if he was reborn. What if the Winter Soldier met him after the fall of the helicarriers.

    Summary

    “It’s him, Nat.”

    “He may look like Steve, but that’s not Steve.” Distress mars her calm, professional mask, a sign of how shaken she is. “You saw how many men he killed, the way he did it. That’s not Steve.”

    Bucky knows what she means. The man in the cell was merciless and ruthless, and he killed with such brutal grace that Bucky hadn’t been able to look away. But strip Steve of his higher ideals, and that’s how he’d fight; smart, efficient, lethal; leaving dead bodies in his wake, instead of just broken bones and contusions.

    So the question is, what had Hydra done to Steve, and who did Bucky have to kill in recompense.

    Summary

    "Do you want me to eat you?"

    “No, but—” Steve broke off his instinctive response. All his life, he’d believed in doing what was right… he was not about to stop now. Wincing at the prickling pain in his feet, he straightened up to his full height. “Yes. If it means you’ll leave this place.”

    "But you don’t look very filling." The tip of the dragon’s tail twitched. "I don’t suppose you’re a virgin?" he asked hopefully. "I’ve heard they taste better."

    Steve gritted his teeth and refused to answer. The dragon could very well find that out for himself. He stared at the dragon. The dragon stared back. Then the dragon got up, turned around, and went back into his cave.

    "Well? Come on, tribute."

     

    or, how Steve ends up working for a dragon with a very odd sense of humor

    Summary

    “You don’t have to do this, Steve.” Bucky pushes away the letter from the Russian government demanding that one Dmitri Batischev, alias the Winter Soldier, be surrendered to them to stand trial for his crimes.

    Steve hesitates in the doorway. Bucky must’ve heard the tail end of his conversation with Pepper. Now he looks tired, and resigned, and so done and Steve fucking hates that Bucky keeps getting dealt shit hand after shit hand. “I want to.” He hopes Bucky can hear the conviction in his voice. “I’m not losing you again.”

    “But getting married? You think that’s gonna work?”

    Summary

    Bucky is James now, and it takes Steve losing his memory to bring them back together

    He stares at the man, curious and wondering. “Who are you?”
    “James Barnes.”
    The man’s voice, and the way he shapes his consonants—soft and smooth and just a touch foreign—is almost, but not quite, familiar.
    “Are we friends too?” he asks.
    “Yeah.”
    Huh. The way his body’s responding to James doesn’t seem very friend-like.

    Summary

    If Steve still did that sort of thing, he’d be praying to God and all the saints in heaven that Bucky doesn’t shift any further back on his lap, because if he does, he’s going to get poked in back of the head by Steve’s erect cock.

    This is not what he was expecting when he offered to work with Bucky and his therapist on the whole touching thing.
