Eight years ago, Bucky Barnes had it all: a steady career, a long-term partner, and he’d finally gotten to grips with the unexpected guardianship of his godson, Peter.  Now, Bucky’s world has tipped upside down. His career is flagging, his ex-boyfriend just married someone else, and Peter has been hiding things from him thanks to the Stark Internship. Everything seems to be going wrong, and Bucky is determined to get answers. Or: Bucky Barnes learns how to be the parent Peter needs, and slowly lets Steve Rogers become someone he might need too.

I'm so thrilled to share this fic! I'm so incredibly grateful to the wonderful @yourbuckies for bidding on me last year for @marveltrumpshate. Huge thanks go to @burnin-brighter for betaing and @pannaflara for cheer-reading. Thank you to the @marveltrumpshate mods for organising such a great event.

[burnin-brighter]

Always an honor to beta for such a great writer and an even better friend 💞 do yourself a favor and check out this story, it’s phenomenal

May 2025 Reading List

Complete

paint me in all my mistakes (Rated: M. Words: 13K) by RecoveringTheSatellites / @thisonesatellite & art by maichan / @maichan808

Summary: Brooklyn, NY. Seven years after HYDRA has usurped freedom and democracy, there are rules about personal liberty. Rules about how to conduct yourself in public, and who to be, who to love, who not to love, and so on and so forth, down to which tattoos you can get. Bucky navigates this world like a sleepwalker, mostly detached from all inklings of emotion and reality, until he decides to get a tattoo. And meets Steve. And then emotion and reality come crashing back, because you can only sleepwalk through your life for so long, and also because quite possibly there's more to Steve, and more to life in general, and more to Bucky's life in particular, than anyone could have predicted. A story about the power of love in uncertain times, and the strength you find inside yourself, sometimes in places where you least expect it. Also lots of real connection, snappy comebacks, real snark, realer feelings, and the customary Happy End.

so go (Rated: T, Words: 18K) by sidnihoudini / @sidnihoudini

Summary: "Steve was good," Bucky tells her, but even as he says it, it doesn't sound true. Yelena can tell, too. "As good as he was in the Void?" she asks. "That wasn't him." Bucky shakes his head and looks down at the sandwich clenched in his metal hand. He had nightmares again for weeks after that. "Steve was... he was my best friend. He was my family." Yelena closes one eye and squints at him. “Family like the wife or family like the brother?” Bucky makes a face and shoves her so hard she cackles and drops the pickle slice she was about to put in her mouth. * AKA: Bucky and Steve reunite when a space war breaks out and the Avengers are pulled in.

Shake the Frost (Rated: M, Current Words: 133K) by everylonelymonster

Summary: After the events of CA:TWS, Steve Rogers moves back to Brooklyn in the hopes that Bucky will follow him to their old home. He never expected his plan to work, and definitely didn’t expect it to work this fast. Bucky shows up on his doorstep a week after the move, disoriented and confused but trusting Steve to help. With Bucky wanted by every major intelligence agency, world government, and HYDRA, Steve decides to do something unexpected: tell no one he found Bucky. Just how long can he keep the ex-assassin’s presence, and his growing feelings for his best friend, a secret?

a league of our own (Rated: E, Current Words: 54K) by burning_brighter / @burnin-brighter

Summary: Steve's sixteen-year-old son's one and only dream is to play in the Major League. He thinks he has a shot when the team get a new coach, retired MLB legend and Steve's high school crush, Bucky Barnes. Steve hasn't thought of the man in many years, but seeing him brings back many memories that push Steve to reach out to an old friend and maybe make new ones on the way. What happens when Steve gets to know Bucky properly? What happens when they open up about their darkest secrets and deepest fears? There's really only one thing that can happen.
