I’m continuing the theme of soft, touch-starved, apartment-based WS recovery fics. This is the softest, loveliest series - this is a warm blanket and hot chocolate of a story. One of the tags for the fic is ‘slow-burn cuddling’ and that pretty much sums it up.

There are over 50,000 Stucky fics on AO3. If you’re new, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when there is so much to read. All this talent; where to begin? Below are 5 stories to get you started:

“This, You Protect” (T, 64k) by owlet

The mission resets abruptly, from objective: kill to objective: protect

+ Post Winter Soldier, this story is part of a series spanning 264k words. It follows Bucky as he discovers coffee, navigates his identity, makes new friends, and reconnects with Steve.

“4 Minute Window” (E, 24k) by Speranza

"Look, if they catch me," Bucky muttered, "they're either going to kill me or they're going to put me in a box with a little window and—Steve, I can't."

+ Post Winter Soldier, this story is part of a series spanning 148k words. Bucky has regained his memories. Through covert communication, Bucky and Steve work together to escape the intelligence agencies trying to lock Bucky away.

“The S. Rogers Memorial (it’s NOT a shrine) to J. B. Barnes” (T, 18k) by SkyisGray

When the Avengers realize that Steve doesn’t have anything to remind him of Bucky Barnes, they embark on a project to track down Bucky memorabilia. But it seems that Steve isn’t the only visitor to the (unofficial) J. B. Barnes memorial (which is totally NOT a shrine, Tony).

+ Post Avengers (2012). As the summary says, the Avengers give Steve thoughtful and meaningful items to cheer him up. Their kindness inadvertently foils Hydra’s plans.

“before we can breathe easy” (T, 22k) by belovedmuerto

No one touches Steve.

Bucky sets out to do something about that.

+ Post Winter Soldier, this story is part of a series spanning 76k words. Bucky has not fully recovered, but tries his best to give Steve more hugs. A soft story about stepping beyond comfort zones to make steady progress towards healing.

-☆-

“United States v. Barnes, 617 F. Supp. 2d 143 (D.D.C. 2015) (T, 20k) by fallingvoices and radialarch

The Associated Press @AP Winter Soldier set to stand trial for Washington D.C. massacre and treason apne.ws/1og6SWE

+ Repeated from the Winter Soldier Trial list. A courtroom drama as told by tweets, interviews, trial transcriptions, e-mails, and news broadcasts. Love declarations of the century.

Hi, I have a couple questions: first, I can't find the collection on AO3 to add my fic to it? I searched for happy_steve_bingo and it keeps telling me there's no suggestions. Second, i'm hoping to finish my first bingo soon. I'm wondering where we request a new bingo card, if we're interested in that? Thanks!

Hi there,Please check out this post which elaborates on how to post to the AO3 collection. No suggestions from AO3 is, sadly, normal, and it will still pick up your fill for the Happy_Steve_Bingo Collection.As far as requesting a new card, once you have finished the bingo please post it on the Bingo Fills & Badge Claims post. There is a template for the format in the post. Once that’s done, you can request a new card from the same signup post. After we check your first bingo is complete, we’ll assign the new card. Thank you for your question! We’re happy to hear you’re so close to being done with one bingo!

belovedmuerto replied to your post: Running Into Sebastian Stan: The Embarrassing...

OK a) dick move, barista. like what the hell. and b) I *think* I’ve been to that Arclight? And almost literally ran into Gwen Stefani when I was there? So… at least you didn’t physically run into him?

Uh, yeah, @belovedmuerto I kinda did that already... :D
