I would like to recommend By Light of Day, by BeaArthurPendragon and kocuria-visuals. (works/32137756). It was so meaningful to me to read and I think it might be very meaningful for other people, too.

Thank you for writing in!

By Light of Day by BeaArthurPendragon, kocuria-visuals (kocuria) (oneshot | 8,192 | E)

The dress is heavy from the beads, but the fabric is smooth beneath his fingers—silk, maybe, from the slight sheen—and when he unbuttons the back and steps into it, and feels the smooth heavy drape sliding across his skin, he can barely breathe.

(On a cold Friday night in 1940, Bucky Barnes becomes whole.)

I have just finished the first 4 chapters of “I've Heard That Song Before” by Nectere and I need people to know about it. And then read it and then leave gushing reviews. It’s a slow burn of nonbinary Bucky growing up and getting drafted (so far). The characters are spot on, with all their strengths and faults. The dramatic irony is especially heartbreaking. I highly recommend everyone read this. Have tissues ready.

thanks for writing in!

I’ve Heard That Song Before by Nectere (WIP |5,603 | T) - /others

Jamesina Buchanan Barnes was supposed to be a boy, but that never bothered her, since she didn’t usually feel like one. Of course, that lead to trouble like getting drafted or going to jail because you had been paying your taxes as “James” forever, or your best friend (who you wanted to be your best guy) falling for a British chick, and the best idiot in your platoon mooning over “Jemma Grant from Jersey.” Throw in a war, HYDRA, falling from a train, multiple trips into ice, reprogramming, torture…and well, the course of true love never did run smooth: especially for heroes.

Id like to recommend "I'd promise you a heart" by emj1s on ao3 its really amazing and so sweet and cute and I adore it so much

Thank you for writing in!

I'd Promise You a Heart by emj1s (oneshot | 21,190 | M)

“Welcome to Barnes’ Bewitching Bakes. I’m Bucky.” The man takes his hand and gives it a shake, his palm large and warm against his own.

“Steve,” he says, and Bucky hums. He looks like a Steve.

Steve is plagued by sleepless nights and nightmares of a world long gone. A recommendation from a friend leads him to kitchen witch Bucky's bakery. He soon realizes that maybe it's not the sleeping charms he keeps coming back for.

Radio Nowhere by Poe (/27007417). Bucky runs a podcast called The Wastelands, Steve is an artist. Ethereal and creepy and so, so good.

Thank you for writing in!

Radio Nowhere by Poe (complete | 10,204 | T)

"The Wasteland was a place where your name didn’t matter, where your gender didn’t matter, where who you fell in love with didn’t matter. All that mattered was survival, was the adventure, was the long nights with nothing but the chirping of crickets and the alien howls of the horrors that lurked just beyond the horizon to sing you to sleep. The Wasteland was a beacon to other outsiders, somewhere, that despite the desert demons, it was safe to be yourself."

(Or: Bucky Barnes runs a podcast, but doesn't want to be seen. Steve Rogers can't stop looking.)

I accidentally sent an ask that just said, “hey friends” and I’m laughing my ass off rn but I meant to say that I sent an ask a while ago, inquiring after OhCaptainMyCaptain because she disappeared and I am sad, and also asking if you know of any fics featuring a nonbinary Steve or Borky using specifically they/them pronouns? I’m so sorry if you’ve answered this. I just can’t find it anywhere!

as far as we are aware of, she is fine :)

for nonbinary fics, you should try this blog search and this AO3 search!

EDIT: anon sent in

Baby, I Like You In That Dress by velvetjinx (oneshot |2,167 | E)

Bucky looks damn pretty in their new dress, and they know it too.

[thestuckylibrary]

I'm pretty sure the fic with Bucky trying on Sarah's lipstick is ''Things that haven't changed'' by a_pocket_full_of_fancy_words

Thank you for writing in by [a_pocket_full_of_fancy_words](http://archiveofourown.org/users/a_pocket_full_of_fancy_words/pseuds/a_pocket_full_of_fancy_words)> “Back in your day, men were real men, huh, Cap?” Steve and Sam are at a store on the outskirts of Philadelphia stocking up on food in between leads on the Winter Soldier. “Huh?” Steve grunts at the man behind the counter, wishing the guy could just give him his damn chips and let him go. “None of this homo-transsexual crap,” The man gestures at a group of androgynous teenagers near the entrance to the store. “Uh,” He stammers, looking to Sam for guidance. “Sure.” He pays for their things and they leave, but by the time they're nearing the car, Steve feels like shit.

Hi! I've read through all the ones in the tag, so I was curious if you guys had any more recs with genderqueer/nb Bucky? Thanks! ❤

yes! here are a few recent ones:

Speakin’ Easy by gayliens (WIP |3,887 | T)

Anyone in the New York criminal underworld will tell you that there’s something a little different about The Dandy Daggers, Tony Stark’s gang of plucky bootleggers. And it’s true - everyone’s in way over their heads. Bucky and Steve are struggling to make ends meet; Nat and Sam are still mourning loved ones; Thor, Loki, and Brunnhilde are going to get themselves killed any day; and the goddamn 16-year-olds just appointed themselves heads of weaponry.

Oh, and all of them are regular attendees at Harlem’s most notorious drag clubs.

OR: the most valid Avengers + knife fights + drag balls + sharp suits + scientifically dubious 1920s booze. everyone is gay and trans and there’s nothing the russos can do about it.

(Day 4) Better by nerddowell (oneshot |1,118 | G)

It’s Loki, of all people, who actually helps Bucky understand it. Loki, who quite happily straddles the line between male and female and flirts with both, actually somewhat takes this small Gryffindor third-year under his terrifying and batlike wing and Explains him A Few Things.

The One With The Group Chat by neversaydie (WIP |16,744 | T)

falconrulz69: ‘we got food at home’ - me, nat, peggy

falconrulz69: ‘pulls into the drive thru and orders 1 black coffee’ - steve

falconrulz69: 'mcdonalds! mcdonalds!’ - THE REST OF Y'ALL MESSES

[group chats from the College AU verse. silly queer fun involving roasting the cis, everyone blocking Bucky for being The Worst, and people needing to just kiss already]

Satin Doll by herecomesbucktofuckshitup (oneshot |1,798 | T)

“Would it bother you if I was a gal?”

[thestuckylibrary]

do you have any fics where steve is a trans boy and the rest of the Avengers somehow find out? ive looked in the trans!steve tag but usually its more stevebucky centered, and i was looking for more modern mcu. if that makes any sense. thank you very much !

here’s the Trans Steve tag, this post, this post maybe?

I pulled some from the library because they fit the requirement of the ask

A Boy Called Steve by Dibsanddabs (the last chapter has what you’re looking for)

Steve was a boy. Just the rest of the world didn’t know it.

The story starts with Steve as a young boy forced to wear dresses, and follows him growing up and exploring what the world really wants from him.

(Check the notes at the end of each chapter for any trigger warnings)

Friends, Teammates, and Everything in Between series by raleighpuppy (dealing with trans!steve and different avengers)

The One-Armed Tailor by ACometAppears

When Steve manages to wreck the first Captain America suit he got after waking up in the 21st century, he decides to go to a tailor Natasha recommends to him, to make him a new one. At least, that’s why he goes originally. He gets more than he bargained
