Steve plays baseball for the Red Sox and Eddie becomes a WAG (wives and girlfriends) to go with him. A fake dating!AU that honestly didn't even need to be fake because these two are obsessed with each other. They figure it out though, no misunderstandings or drama just feel good boys getting to enjoy themselves and their love.
I love that all the other WAGs are depicted as kind, supportive, wonderful women who take care of each other and of Eddie. There's no pettiness or backstabbing just pure love and support, and the roasting of any homophobes. There's also no drama from anyone on Steve's team which was also beautiful. My only complaint is that the fake dating aspect drags along for a touch too long in my opinion. If the guy is making out with you in the privacy of your own home, he's not doing it for the fake dating he fucking likes you.
Hell yeah, our second rec to help us get that sweet, sweet fix! ;)

Summary:
Once upon a twitter someone pointed out that there is a Starbucks inside the CIA building and how it should be a Stucky Meet Cute and since I happen to have worked at Starbucks and I hate DC I was like, man let me just... do that.
Here's the tea:
Bucky is a somewhat well-adjusted former army sniper that got his shoulder blown out. He took his discharge and went home to finish school and is working on his international relations masters. His best friends and roommates (Nat & Clint) are CIA agents and tip him off that their local Sbux is hiring. He gets a job there and meets none other than the hottest guy on earth.
So how does one get a date in the most top secret government location in the US? What happens when that guy is more than just a hot dorito and wants to give Bucky everything he wants? Bucky is going to have to figure out his shit and fast. That's what's up.

Hello there! I too had kept a list of the unus annus videos of each day - however, I live in a GMT +8 timezone, so each UA vid came out on the following day for me, and I didn't account for the taken down omegle video and the "this video will be deleted in one day" norbert moses video, so I'm not sure if my notes are accurate. Was 31st July's video the "7 (?) products to grow out your patchy beard" vid?
Thank you in advance! You're doing god's work :)
I got the deleted Omegle Video (March 31st) but I don’t think I have the “This Video Will Be Deleted in One Day” one, but still ended up on the right day, so I don’t know. I’ll have to ask my other friend who also kept a record about that one.
July 31st WAS “5 Products to Grow Your Patchy Beard”!
Help what's BIG... Does the B stand for Baking? That's the only one I can figure out
basically i’m gay, dan’s coming out vid! i feel like we need a list of phandom acronyms cause we just kinda come up with new ones every time dnp do something and then people join the phandom and have no idea wtf we’re on about
Sister, don’t cry anymore; lay your weary head here with me. Rebecca Proctor née Barnes, beloved younger sister to Bucky (and sometimes Steve too). Below are my Top 5 Favorite Stories:
“Roll On” (M, 89k) by jaxington
In 1938, there's a bar in Brooklyn called Sully’s where people are safe to be themselves. Behind the bar, a girl pours drinks. She's always got a big smile for Steve and she says queer like it's a good thing. On a regular basis, she takes his shoulders in her hands and tries to shake sense into him, saying, "When will you do something about that best friend of yours?"
In 2012, Bucky’s gone, but Steve’s not, and the girl’s hands are too old to shake him. She does her best to make him see sense anyway.
Steve had people who loved him before the war, and it turns out a few of them are still around when he finally comes home.
+ Pre-War to Alt CW. A stunning three part series spanning 300k words. Part 1 focuses on Becca, Part 2 on Becca’s wife, and Part 3 is Post WS to Alt CW from Bucky’s perspective. Bucky Barnes recovers, Found Family, and love true love. It’s not marked as complete, but can be read as such

“My Brother, The Hero” (G, 16k) by Odsbodkins
Becca Barnes is eight years old, and her big brother can do no wrong.
The events of the two Captain America movies, from the perspective of one of the sisters Bucky leaves behind.
+ Pre-War to Post WS. Becca adores Steve and Bucky, and is heartbroken after the Valkyrie. Decades later, she reunites with them both

“Now! That’s What I Call 90’s Slow Jams” (M, 10k) by deadonarrival
Steve goes home for the wedding of Becca Barnes and while he’s there he runs into his old crush. Her brother. Except now they are both hot as shit. Oh no whatever will happen.
+ Modern AU. Childhood friends reunited, mutual pining, fake (and not so fake) dating!
-☆-
“Geriatric Road Trip, 2015″ (NR, 4k) by what_alchemy
Bucky was the eldest of four.

“cascades.” (M, 152k) by orange_crushed
“Holy shit,” Howard says, crackling through the speakers. “You alive in there?” Lying is a sin, of course, but Steve’s not sure what else he can do. He’s already lied to the government and Bucky and God Almighty; and himself, himself most of all. He ought to tell the truth. That he’s not quite what they hoped for. That perhaps they should put him back into the ocean.
“Probably,” he says, instead, listening to Howard’s tinny laughter; and waits for the blast doors to unlock.
+ Post Valkyrie. Steve absorbs the tesseract, comes back with teleporting powers, saves Bucky, saves the world. Reposted from All Time Favorites.
++“I know it’s crazy. But this is crazy,” he says, and raises his metal hand. “What Steve can do—that's crazy. It’s all crazy. Our whole fucking lives. I have to,” he says, and whips them around a turn. “I have to believe, he’s—I have to.” Rebecca considers it: considers what she’d do, how far she’d go, if she thought there was a chance—even an inkling. A feeling. A sign. She knows that she would drive to San Diego, to Mongolia, to the moon. She’d leave right now, without a bag, without a dollar in her pocket or a forwarding address. Without anything at all but a fool’s hope; without anything at all but deathless, unkillable love.
