HOLLYWOODLAND

My first contribution to the 2020 (Not) Another Stucky Big Bang—I got to make art for romanticalgirl’s absolutely lush Golden Age of Hollywood AU!! (with more gorgeous art made by bicappy/ubertrash)

This was such a fun world to make art for, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!!

“In 1930s Hollywood, the world is run on the studio system. Stars are told who to date, what to wear, what to say, and how to look pretty doing it. The only way you can really do what you want is if you don't get caught.

Steve's dating Peggy, which works out because she's married to Sam, even though it's not legal. But it's the perfect cover for the fact that Steve's gay. He's managing just find skirting the system to find companionship, but then he meets James Barnes and life gets a lot more complicated.”

hi, do you have any stucky fic recommendations? or any fave captain america steve rogers/modern bucky barnes? I read your Lightning in a Bottle and Waking Up Slow fics, and cap steve/modern bucky was a great dynamic! thank you!!

Hello!! I’m so glad you enjoyed those two, honestly the modern Bucky/cap Steve dynamic (colloquially known by the ridiculous name “shrunkyclunks” haha) is one of my absolute faves to write AND read!! 🥰

Along those lines, I can definitely recommend a couple of my favorites!

- I just met you (and this is crazy) by littlesystems is sexy and fun and very well written https://archiveofourown.org/works/15888327/chapters/37024455

- Beyond the Yellow Book Road and Dance With a Ghost are both by the inimitable crinklefries (whose body of work I overall recommend wholeheartedly) and feature a cap Steve and modern Bucky and are both super soft and really delicious https://archiveofourown.org/works/20438951/chapters/48490538 and https://archiveofourown.org/works/17339582

A couple of my other strong recs just generally:

- Shuffle by turn_turn_turn is just a straight up modern au, but it’s one that I return to for comfort reading over and over because of the pining and banter and amazingly good characterizations if you like that kind of thing 😉 https://archiveofourown.org/works/7420867/chapters/16854826

- Bucky Barnes Has His Shit Together (and Other Lies He Tells Himself) by betts—if you liked the kidfic dynamic of Waking Up Slow I also would point you toward this gem, it’s a modern au that’s so sweet and funny and good https://archiveofourown.org/works/5344526

- Put it On Repeat, It Stays the Same by giselleslash is another modern au I return to a lot—it’s def an E (not sure what ratings you are up for) but packs such a satisfying mutual pining emotional punch https://archiveofourown.org/works/6584314/chapters/15063607

- Ill With Want by thedoubteriswise—I am a HUGE sucker for pre-war so I can’t resist throwing one of those on here even though it doesn’t quite fit with what you mentioned. If you’ve never explored that trope for stucky this is a great one to start with!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/17893166

Hopefully you find something you like here!! Please feel free to hit me up with more direction/perameters if you’re in the mood for something specific, I’ll do my best!

Steve takes a deep breath, steadying himself against the blood pounding in his veins. Because this is important. “I want this. I want you, I want you to stay with me, go with me, it doesn’t matter—I want you never to leave again.”

Summary:

There are two constants in Bucky Barnes’ life: Steve Rogers and baseball. After a devastating fallout right before they went pro, only one of those constants has been in Bucky’s life. When he’s traded from the Hydras, the team he helped build, to the Avengers, the team Steve helped build, Bucky has to learn how to contend with both loves of his life again, plus his grudge against Rogers and a new one against the Hydras, and an old injury kicking up again. The Mar-Vells continue to dominate, the Hydras have stacked their infield, and there’s a new international team that’s kicking everyone’s ass. Oh, and the Avengers new co-captains can’t even look at each other. Bucky’s fifth major league season is shaping up to be the roughest yet, but he’s got assholes to prove wrong and an asshole to win back, so he’s not going to give up. Probably. Let’s play ball!
