I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style, and so I came to see him, to listen for awhile. Below are my Top 5 Favorite stories:
“A Song You Might Hear At A Wedding” (E, 9k) by ellievolia and lanyon
Steve Rogers is the good-looking lead singer of a struggling band, while James Barnes is half of a dynamic duo, on the verge of the big-time. When Stark Industries is reduced to playing at a wedding in order to raise funds and profile, Steve tells himself that this is the very last time he's going to sleep with Bucky.
(Or, the one in which Tony rants, Bruce mediates and Clint has fantastic eye-sex with the best man.)
+ Modern AU. Rockstar Bucky and Singer Steve, both incredibly thirsty for each other. Making out everywhere, hotel sex, DTR, and a wonderful ending

“Steve, what are you doing?”
“I’m sorry,” Steve sighs. He runs a hand through his beautiful blonde hair, but he doesn’t stop what he’s doing. The panic falls deep into Bucky’s stomach. “I meant to be gone by the time you got back.”
“Where are you going?”
“Nat’s, maybe, I think.”

Bucky's the singer in a band and comes home to his boyfriend of four years leaving him. Bucky's years in a band where he's been heavily closeted puts a wedge in their relationship and they'll have to figure out how to mend what's been broken.

But nothing stays in the past for long and Bucky will need to face up to it sooner or later.
