At Ease (M | 11,722 | derekstilinski)

Steve frequently sends out care packages for the troops, and when he learns about the penpal program, he's quick to fill out an application. He's assigned Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes. Everything grows from then.

cross this river to the other side (T | 14,575 | defcontwo)

Here is the truth about Captain America and the Howling Commandos that every World War II historian must come to accept at one point or another: we will never know everything. We won’t even come close.

So much was lost with the untimely death of Captain America. While the man beneath the uniform sunk to the bottom of the North Atlantic, the myth lived on, only to grow bigger and more unwieldy as the years went by. Now, it is near impossible to tell fact from fiction, to separate out truth from propaganda.

In 1943, the Howling Commandos wrote goodbye letters to be given to their loved ones in the event of their deaths.

In 2014, Sharon Carter finds those letters in a tin can in an abandoned HYDRA base.

Things We Lost in the War (M | 31,648 | gwyneth rhys)

Tell me what is really true. Tell me if I belong to you the way I think I do, if these are not just lies someone put inside me to warp my mind. Tell me this pounding in my chest is what I feel for you and not fear.

Home is the Soldier (series | 32,306 | die_traumerei)

Sincerely, Your Pal (M | 65,620 | lettered)

"[...] lesbians and gay men writing letters to their lovers and friends faced the special problem of wartime censorship. Military censors, of course, cut out all information that might aid the enemy, but this surveillance made it necessary for gay and lesbian correspondents to be careful not to expose their homosexuality. To get around this, gay men befriended sympathetic censors or tricked others by using campy phrases, signing a woman’s name (like Dixie or Daisy), or changing the gender of their friends. Sailors became WAVEs, boyfriends became WACs, Robert became Roberta. There must exist, hidden in closets and attics all over America, a huge literature of these World War II letters between lesbians and between gay men that would tell us even more about this important part of American history." - Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women In World War Two, by Allan Berube

Teacher AUs

Teacher!Steve

Captain Hot Perfect Teacher (T | 6,172 | captainrum)

Steve is a fifth grade teacher. Bucky is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, whose son is in Steve's class. They meet at a parent-teacher conference. There's blood involved.

The Role We Are Cast In (T | 6,963 | 74days)

Bucky Barnes loves his daughter just as much as any man ever did. He expected to be the most important man in her life for a lot longer than 5 years old, when she comes home to tell him that her teacher is Captain America, shrunk down in a Nazi plot. But the war is over, and Bucky's got a bum arm and a job working in the office of the docks he worked as a lad, and he really doesn't give it too much thought.

History Through Art and Propaganda (Or; The One Where They Do It In Professor Rogers' Office) (E | 8,206 | sumomomochi)

(student/teacher)

You knew he'd be probably the youngest teacher you'd have. You were expecting the short stature and the ugly sweater and the friendly smile as he introduced himself. You were not expecting the scuffed up Docs or the full lips or the Frodo fucking blue eyes or the most gorgeous hands you've ever seen on a man.

I Think We'd Feel Good Together (M | 9,722 | UndergroundValentine)

(student/teacher)

Because the natural course of events when being stood up by your original date is to then sleep with the person who gave you an (amazing) impromptu date...

Right?

the one where Bucky Barnes is a hot dad and Steve Rogers is an elementary school teacher (T | 9,867 | pure1magination)

Steve Rogers is in his early 40s and hasn't dated anyone in years- not since the war. He has no interest in dating. His life is devoted to teaching elementary school.

He finds himself getting attached to a particularly smart, quiet girl who he is sure is ahead of the class. He decides to have a talk with the girl's parents about her exceptional intelligence and her antisocial tendencies.

What he doesn't know is that she is the child of single father, fellow war veteran, James "Bucky" Barnes.

Fuhgeddaboudit! (T | 9,980 | evilwearsabow)

Steve's an elementary school teacher, Bucky's emotionally everywhere. Steve loves bagels, Bucky needs a hug.

Can Bucky learn to trust again? Can Steve get over himself?

Nope.

Rank Relationship (E | 12,283 | mafgmouse)

(student/teacher)

After an honorable discharge and long recovery, Sergeant Barnes takes up a position teaching a high school ROTC Military Science class.

After a series of rejections from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s high school ROTC program, Steve gets to take Sergeant Barnes's Military Science course.

This turns out to be a big problem for Sergeant Barnes.

when i kissed the teacher (E | 18,057 | anomalousity, srp)

“All right, and what’s due next week?”

Bucky grins when the children reply in unison, “Our family trees, Mr. Barnes!” He gives them an appraising smile before turning back to his desk and picking up the pile of graded spelling tests resting beneath his tumbler.

“Right,” he says, shuffling the papers and making to pass them down each row. The chorus sings with equal shouts of glee and groans of disappointment, but the same as always, the little girl who always scores the highest tucks her paper away and folds her hands on her desk.

She’s a strange one, but she’s keeping him ranked second in the state for elementary school aptitudes. Not only that, but she’s actually interested in the course material; he gives her Harry Potter, Eragon, and now Lord of the Rings, and she’s still unstoppable. He’d have thought it impossible for a second grader, but she’s proving him wrong with each passing day.

Additionally, and completely unrelated, her father is gorgeous.

Stucky for number 5?

5. lost pet.

warning for distress related to a pet running away, but everything turns out okay!

-

Something is wrong.

Bucky is lying in bed and he hasn’t even opened his eyes yet, and heknows something is wrong.

“Sunny!” Bucky calls, bracing himself for his golden retriever to rushthrough the door and jump on the bed like he does every morning.

Only this time, only silence greets Bucky. There’s no barking, no nailsscratching the floor, no heavy ball of fur landing on top of him and steppingon some very bad places as Sunny licks his face. There’s nothing, which meanssomething is very very wrong.

Bucky throws the covers off of him, heart already in his throat as hejumps off the bed and looks around the room, calling Sunny’s name. There’s noanswer, and Bucky can’t see any sign of his dog as runs through the apartment,checking every nook and cranny and all of Suny’s favorite hiding spots.

There’s nothing.

There’s no Sunny.

And it’s while he’s standing in the middle of his living room wearingonly the Tinkerbell pajama pants Natasha bought him as a gag gift thathe sees the open window to the fire escape.

“Fuck,” Bucky curses, rushing to the open window. “Oh, fuck no.”

Bucky doesn’t see anything as he sticks his head out the window, onlythe heavy feeling in his gut telling him that Sunny—

That he—

“Deep breaths,” Bucky says to himself, running his fingers through hishair. “He’s a smart dog. He’s not going— He’s not—”

Bucky lets out a shaky breath and dashes to his room, throwing on ahoodie and slipping his feet into a comfortable pair of shoes. He grabs hisphone, keys, wallet, and Sunny’s leash and heads out, trying to keep himselffrom freaking out.

It works about as well as he thought he would, which means it doesn’t atall.

So he’s about ready to start crying when he knocks on his friend andneighbor’s door, yelling out, “Steve! Steve, open up! Steve, I need—”

“What’s wrong?”

“—your help,” Bucky finishes, voice small and shaky.

Steve is tall and blond and sculpted right out of Bucky’s dreams, withplush lips and thick lashes and a wardrobe made entirely of too-tight shirts,sweaters, and paint splatter jeans. He’s kind and funny and smart, and heforgave Bucky right away after Bucky almost killed him by dropping a coffeemaker on his head when he moved to the building.

“Bucky?” Steve takes a step forward, brows furrowed in concern, histhick-framed glasses slipping down his nose.

Bucky kind of loves him a little bit.

"Can you quit that?" He asks, when he's a few steps away. The guy looks up at him, and Steve has to try very hard not to stare.

"I can." He nods, as he keeps on strumming. "But I'm not going to."

Bucky keeps Steve awake with his 3am guitar playing, and a lot of parties ensue.

Steve Rogers: Architect (E | 10,194 | loonietuna)

“Why would he actively try and fuck up a building that he and his men are constructing? You really that narcissistic to think the guy is giving blood, sweat, and tears just to fuck up your project?” Sam asks incredulously.

“Every time Sam, without fail, every time I go to that site something is wrong, or something is being built that wasn’t in my fucking plans. I can’t go to the site every day and watch over his shoulder, I’ve got other buildings going up!” Steve sighs, throwing his hands up. Steve was fortunate enough to hit the ground running after school and has become one of the youngest architect to achieve his level of success – a level that warrants him being contracted by Tony Stark personally to work on his namesake – so Steve can’t fuck this up.

More importantly, Steve can’t let Barnes fuck this up.

A Life Most Random (E | 13,259 | SkyisGray)

Whether it's fate or chance bringing them together over the years, Bucky can't stand that asshole Steve Rogers.

Steve operates a fruit & veg stand at a farmer's market. Bucky keeps bees and has started up a honey shop just opposite. They're failing to get along. Steve gets along a lot better with the anonymous friend he's been writing letters to. In fact, he's rapidly falling for him.

Oh where do we begin (M | 24,543 | steveandbucky)

Halfway through his third year of college, Steve Rogers rents out the spare room in his apartment to make living close to campus more affordable. At first sight his new roommate, Bucky Barnes, seems to be the stuff dreams are made of, but living together turns out to be a nightmare, and the academic year is a lot more adventurous than either of them expected, as they slowly turn from enemies to friends to lovers.

Bucky’s daughter thinks these books are the best thing to grace the earth since hot chocolate. Unfortunately, they're nearly impossible to find.

Bucky is with Steve at his next big gallery opening, and is his plus one at a gala held by the New York Ballet. He's a little shy, a little awkward, but he makes up for it with a smile and easy flirting.

Cohabitation in the Twenty-first Century: Rules and Guidelines by Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes (T | handwritten | lickerish, notallbees)

Steve and Bucky are learning that living together again isn't as easy as they'd expected. Steve plays his music too loud, Bucky is obsessed with romcoms, and they're both very, very sassy about it.

If You'll Let Me (E | 7,953 | eadunne2)

Steve pauses at the door. “Feel better, ok? Let me know if you need anything.” I don’t want to leave, let me crawl in bed behind you, let me hold you until you forget every drug, every doctor -

He turns to leave but Bucky says, “Steve?”

The smile on Bucky’s face isn’t the one he hides behind. It’s wide and genuine and teary and if Steve wasn’t already in love with the guy, he would be now.

Critical Feline Mass (T | 39,537 | Kryptaria, rayvanfox)

Adjusting to civilian life is hard for any military veteran — especially for one ex-sniper with a cybernetic arm, a classic Harley, and friends who keep trying to ‘help.’ When Sam Wilson at the VA sends Sergeant Barnes to rent a room from the hottest guy in the DC area, Bucky thinks maybe civilian life is worth it after all. And then he finds out Captain Rogers is everything Bucky’s not: a real hero, a Medal of Honor recipient, and an all-around nice guy. Bucky doesn’t have a chance in hell with him.

Sam was a huge help to Steve Rogers when he left the military. In the spirit of ‘pay it forward,’ Steve decides to rent out his basement room to a vet in need. But when Sergeant Barnes shows up on his doorstep, he knows he’s in for a world of trouble. Barnes is exactly what Steve never knew he wanted, from his bedroom eyes to his wicked innuendos. And he’s Steve’s tenant.

A love story in twelve chapters, including two Harley-Davidsons, a guardian angel, multiple snipers, the only woman who can scare them into behaving themselves, spontaneous kittens, and one attacking sheep.

Starbucks Is Canon (T | 8,335 | 74days)

Bucky's been trying to book Captain America actor Steve Rogers on his show for longer than he can remember. But when the actor does agree, he's not expecting their first meeting to be quite so... well documented... by social media.

Off The Record (E | 9,100 | Brenda)

"This is a serious coup, James. Steve Rogers has never sat down with a member of the press and given an interview. Ever. Do you know how rare that is for the fourth-string star on a cable reality show, much less the biggest movie star in the world?"

the Steve Rogers problem (M | 36,996 | relenafanel)

Bucky doesn't consider his Steve Rogers problem as a problem so much as the solution he hadn't realized he was hoping for to help him through the transition from the Bucky Barnes he'd been before his accident to the new, shiny version of himself.

No, the problem isn't with Captain America and The Howling Commandos fandom.

The problem is the amount of porn Bucky managed to write and draw about Captain America before finding out that he's less than one degree of separation away from Steve Rogers. 'Less than' as in he's sitting across the table from him.

steve n bucky selfie (photoshop)

my hand is messed up again!!! here’s a warmup drawing I did last year because I’m still in HELL

[imaginebucky]

Imagine Bucky getting a yappy little corgi instead of some big "tough" looking dog like everyone assumed he would get.

“Quit it.”

“I’m not doing anything.”

“I know you’re taking snaps of me, Natasha.”

“I am doing no such thing,” Natasha lied.

Bucky raised an eyebrow. “Then why are you holding your phone like that? And why did the flash go off.”

“Steve is stuck in a meeting and as his best bro, it’s my duty to make sure he doesn’t miss a second of this,” Natasha said haughtily as she captioned her video using a gross amount of emojis.

“Did you just say ‘bro’?” Clint said.

Natasha turned her phone to show them the photo. Bucky preened a bit but didn’t stop cuddling his corgi puppy. The brown-speckled pup sat happily against Bucky’s shoulder.

Beside him, Clint groaned. “I hate Snapchat. The photo quality makes my black eye look way worse.”

“Nah, that’s just your face,” Bucky said, sounding glib. “Ain’t that right, Butter?”

Butter the corgi pup yipped, then sneezed in Bucky’s face.

“Yeah, tell me about it, bud,” Bucky said before planting a little kiss between his new puppy’s eyes. Butter woofed softly before kissing Bucky back, lapping at his chin happily.

Lucky looked back as if to check on Butter before continuing along.

Natasha took a selfie, face twisted in comical disgust. She captioned it with enough emojis to impart “your dog sneezed in your boyfriend’s mouth, which you often kiss” before sending it to Steve.

Bucky still wasn’t much for personal grooming so he was pretty scruffy-looking, face unshaven and hair messy under his cap. He was layered up in Steve’s old sweat pants and about a thousand sweaters. All in all, he looked about as unapproachable as a forcefully retired World War II POW with a penchant for cigars and whiskey could look. Eight-week old Corgi puppy nestled against his shoulder notwithstanding.

Even looking like hobos who’d lost a fight against a back-alley dumpster, Clint and Bucky turned every head that passed by them. Though maybe she was giving them too much credit. Lucky and Butter definitely turned every head that passed by them.

Butter was strangely calm for a puppy, but he was always happy to let you know if you weren’t paying enough attention to him. They had only gotten a block away from the apartment, Butter happily trotting beside Lucky, sniffling away at the unfamiliar world around him, when he plopped his tiny butt down and began yowling until Bucky scooped him up and kept on his way.

That was all good and well but Butter tended to eat more off of Bucky’s plate than Bucky did. They’d stopped for falafel at one of the street carts and the two vendors were so enamored with the puppy that they gave Bucky a plate of gyro meat for free for Butter.

Steve had been right all along; that puppy was doomed to be spoiled rotten from the moment Bucky spotted him curled up and sad-looking at the kennel.

“The vet said corgis don’t need to eat so much,” Natasha pointed out. “You don’t want him to get overweight.”

“Lucky eats microwave pizza,” Bucky said.

“Hey,” Clint warned. “Don’t drag my dog into this.”

“He’s gonna get fat if you don’t let him walk anywhere,” Natasha said.

“All bodies are beautiful,” Bucky said.

Natasha couldn’t really argue with that. She reached out and tickled Butter’s chin instead of answering.

Butter was starting to get all wiggly so Bucky checked his leash before setting him back down beside Lucky. The mutt perked back up and gave Butter an affectionate nudge.

Natasha snapped Steve a photo of Bucky towering over Butter, who was happily staring up at his owner, pink little tongue lolling.

Steve snapped back a selfie with hearts doodled over his eyes.

Soulmates

Not a great way to be told, especially for him.” She exhales through her nose. “He’s been kind of out of his mind, waiting for this meeting."

Bucky has a blue timer, the color signifying that its a romantic relationship, and so does Captain America. His sister forces him to watch the Captain's first interview and he... well, you could say he reacts badly. Also, everyone has a crush on Steve.

Steve Rogers knows from day one that Bucky Barnes is not his soulmate.

The asset knows from the first glimpse that the man on the roof is his.

Story of Us (E | 11,974 | misspunkrock)

“And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”

In a world where people can't see color until they meet their Match, Bucky meets Steve when they're both too young to understand what it means to even have a soulmate.

The World's at Stake (T | 16,372 | Atsadi)

Few soulmates are separated at birth by too much time – but when the distance becomes greater than one year all bets are off, with five years’ difference being equally as unusual as fifty.

Yet the one rule that has never been broken is that the soulmates’ lifespans always overlap.

So it came as something of a shock to the young boy in an orphanage in Brooklyn, New York, when his soul mark came in at the age of twelve and told him that his soulmate had been dead for almost sixty years.
