My recommended additions to this list:
That Awkward Moment When Your Ex Is Captain America by @innytoes
One-shot. 2.6k. Leverage-centric, with guest appearances by Bucky and Sam.
Breaking into an office building and finding a basement full of Hydra is annoying enough, but then your ex shows up and your ex is now Captain America? This was not what Eliot expected today, okay. Still, it's nice to see Sam again.
Chuck Roast by @galwednesday
One-shot. 5.4k. Bucky/Steve-centric, with guest appearances by the Leverage ot3. (Sequel to Boeuf MystĆØre, which is also hilarious, and an AU with food critic Bucky and secret agent Steve, both thinking they have the same job. Also highly recommended.)
āNobodyās threatening anybody,ā short guy growled.
āUh, I hate to say it, but the man has a point,ā tall guy said. āI mean, Iām hacking his panic room right now, thatās a pretty threatening action. If I were him Iād feel very threatened.ā
āThankĀ you,ā Bucky said triumphantly, before belatedly realizing exactly what the man had just said. āAnd stop hacking my panic room!ā
āMmm hmm, okay,ā tall guy said agreeably, a second before the the panic room locks disengaged with a dull clunk. Bucky careened away from the door and grabbed the closest weapon at hand, which happened to be the ladle heād been holding when heād made his slapdash retreat from the kitchen. It still had some romesco on it.
Maybe he could fling a bit of spicy sauce into the intrudersā eyes before they murdered him. Sure, heād still be dead, but at least theyād have to break out the eye drops. Vengeance would be his.
