Coming Home For Christmas (ao3) - Chiyume steve/bucky E, 118k
Summary: Steve Rogers is a good man. His friends have told him so on numerous occasions, but this might actually be more bordering on "stupid" rather than "kind".
Because what else would you describe the act of inviting a complete stranger - and thief - into your home over the Holidays?
Steve isn't quite sure what to call it himself, but fact is that when it comes to the case of Bucky Barnes, Steve's actually pretty okay with being referred to as an idiot, as long as it keep the other man safe. And to Steve's defence, it had all started out with such good intentions...

Steve Rogers is forced to share the space with the one coworker he cannot stand - unsufferable, presumptuous Bucky Barnes, who very much reciprocates Steve's loathing.

But sometimes things don't turn out like you expect them to, people are not what you think they are, and there's always something to learn about intimacy, pleasure and love.

Stressrelief and a little more (ao3) - Fighting_for_Creativity bucky/steve/tony E, 4k

Sure, Tony was banned from the workshop for the night, which didn't help so much. Yet it ends all in his favour.

Barnes and Rogers were concerned about their teammate, what they found was anything of what they had dreaded.
The Best Is Yet To Come (ao3) - postmodernmulticoloredcloak steve/bucky E, 30k
Summary: When a severely injured young man gets brought to the hospital where he works, Steve Rogers does not know that that encounter will change his life.

When I Need You (Comfort Me) (ao3) - greymantledlady steve/tony E, 15k
Summary: Sometimes it feels like she’s trying so hard and she just can’t, she can’t. And suddenly everything's just – just too much, and somehow Tony’s got her face down on the workbench, arms curled around her head, big helpless shuddering sobs rising up in her chest.
Because Steve - it doesn't matter what Tony does, Steve’ll still just think she’s selfish and too loud and a show-off, and it doesn’t matter, she doesn’t care, Tony doesn’t care what Steve thinks.
It’s – it’s just, she’s so lonely, so bloody lonely. And she shudders and sniffles again and presses her face pathetically into her arms.
