summary;

In a world where Steve Rogers is a tattoo artist in the twentieth century and Bucky Barnes is the Winter Soldier struggling to find his place in the future, the two of them seem less inclined to bump into each other than in the original story. But in this reality, two soulmates find each other through homeless kittens, a tattoo festival and a whole bunch of blushing and crushing. (Both romantically and literally, on Bucky’s part.)

Fic Rec Friday  2.1

Happy New Year (a couple weeks later)! Starting out the year with a reset of the numbering system and a return to reading really freaking long fics. I’ve been reading a 150K+ fic all week, so this rec list will probably be a lot shorter than it could have been. Also, if anyone has some fave Stucky recs, I’d love it if you sent them my way!

Captain America:

Never go to bed alone when you have a library card by relenafanel  | 4.9K | T | Bucky/Steve

Tall, blond hottie (in a sweater) was back, staring at the wall of new and popular titles with a thoughtful expression on his face. He came in every Tuesday night like clockwork, read through the summaries on the back of a handful of books with his profile turned just enough towards the front entrance that Bucky could see the slope of his nose and take joy in watching those arm muscles minutely flex as he shifted the book in his grasp.

- OR -

Steve is an attractive library patron who is far too competent to ever ask librarian!Bucky questions. Bucky likes that in a man.

go back to sleep by nightmaresinwintah  | 5.9K | NR | Bucky/Steve

Bucky wasn’t prepared. It was just a simply accompaniment of supplies to base camp, and he hadn’t expected anything like this. It happened anyway, because out here, nothing played by the rules.

One moment he’s checking the rounds on his handgun and thinking about the promise of food back at base and then he’s lying in a heap of burning rubble and everyone’s screaming. Later, he’ll figure out that it was a IED that took his team and his arm. Later, he’ll have time to mourn and scream and cry.

Or, Bucky wakes up to various, more than unfortunate events over and over again, until he wakes up and everything's okay.

Open Your Heart (I'm Coming Home) by nightmaresinwintah  | 70.2K | NR (I’d lean toward M for graphic violence) | Bucky/Steve

Bucky Barnes doesn't go through the change from the asset to James to Bucky again step by step. It happens, though. He saves Captain America and doesn't know why. He goes to Captain America when he's hurt and near death, and he thinks he knows why. He leans on Steve, and lets Steve lean on him while they both heal (together), and he definitely knows why.

Steve Rogers lives in denial. He's not depressed. He didn't really try to kill himself on the Valkyrie. He's not suffering from PTSD. He's not in love with his best friend - the one who is also known as the Winter Soldier. He's not any of these. (He's all of them.)

Or; Bucky and Steve learn to be Bucky and Steve again, not the Winter Solider and Captain America. (They do it together.)

Teen Wolf:

The One Where They Adopt a Selkie by mikkimouse  | 7.7K | T | Derek/Stiles

"That's a kid," Stiles said.

Derek growled. "It's a selkie."

"It's a selkie kid," Stiles pointed out, because really, they did not need to be arguing semantics right now. "Do selkies just go around leaving their kids sleeping in caves on the beach?"

Untitled From Tumblr: Teen Wolf Scooby Doo Mysteries by skoosiepants  | 8.7K | NR | Derek/Stiles

The groundskeeper has gnarled, knotted fingers and rheumy eyes, and it takes five hundred years for him to turn the key in the rusted padlock.  The gate creaks almost as loud as his bones, and Derek flicks an ear in irritation.

“That’s a big dog you’ve got there,” he says, only mildly curious.

Stiles buries one hand in the scruff around Derek’s neck. “Not sure he is one,” Stiles says, and Derek cocks his head up at him.

the ring of the ancestors is not a euphemism by kellifer_fic  | 10.6K | T | Derek/Stiles

Stiles hadn't noticed the way the entire commissary had gone silent when the guy had approached his table, or the two military escorts that had been flanking him, looking at each other like maybe they should be intervening but weren't sure how. All he saw was someone stealing the last dessert from him and Stiles didn't think about it, he just reached across the table and snatched it back with a, "What the hell, dude?"

And Part 2: 

Faint is a medical term by kellifer_fic  | 17.5K | T | Derek/Stiles

"I don't know how much of a formality it'll be when they reach the dissection part of the proceedings."

The continuing adventures of Botanist Doctor Stiles Stilinski and his alien werewolf boyfriend.

Five Times Detective Stilinski and Fire Captain Hale Had Sex In Public, and One Time They Did It In A Bed by bleep0bleep  | 32.8K | E | Derek/Stiles

"Did you say--" Stiles starts.

"What?" Derek growls.

"We're not a couple!" they both retort in unison.

"We're not together," Stiles insists.

Lydia coughs pointedly. "An incident report filed by 87th Precinct Captain Erica Reyes. March twenty-fifth, eight p.m. Came back to the precinct to grab my coat, only to hear Stilinski banging his new boyfriend in the holding cell."

* I felt like a re-read of this gem was in order, and I was not disappointed :)

the one that's a little bit party of five by kellifer_fic  | 50.7K | E | Derek/Stiles

He does a casual three-sixty and catches the gaze of a glowering werewolf with thick eyebrows and a strong jaw. The guy has artful stubble going on and he looks like he's pissed off at the room, but especially at Stiles and Stiles can roll with that. Lydia wouldn't have called attention to him if he hadn't been Stiles' type.

His sister is good like that.
