This fic rec is coming to you from the ‘Idiots in Love’ tag. Bucky’s a late night radio host with Issues, and Steve is an insomniac Captain America, so the issues are baked right in, and this story is a wonderful heap of falling in love over the radio and eventually not-so-hopeless pining with some cute animals thrown in.

Hi Wisty!! I hope you enjoy!!💕 This was so much fun to write. I saw ‘soulmate au’ and ‘happy ending’ and honestly just went bananas😌

To Be Loved Is to Be Known

Wei Wuxian’s soulmate is dead.

That’s the only explanation he can come up with.

“They’re not dead, you idiot!” Jiang Cheng snaps, rolling his eyes as he shoves Wei Wuxian off from where he’d draped himself dramatically over his shoulders. “If they were really dead, the mark would’ve disappeared!”

“Then why haven’t they used the connection? Not even once?” Wei Wuxian whines, jabbing emphatically at his own left arm where, hidden beneath his sleeves, sits his soulmate mark — a loquat-sized smudge by his inner elbow, white as snow except for a small dot of pale blue near the upper left corner. He insists it looks like a rabbit. Jiang Cheng argues it looks more like a cloud.

The Great Defrosting: everything is bright and shiny and new and all his friends are dead. Below are my Top 5 Favorite stories. 

“Where the Need is Greatest” (T, 19k) by Niitza

In which Steve Rogers takes one look at the history of American military interventions since the end of World War II and nopes straight out of it, follows in his Ma's footsteps to become a paramedic, joins Doctors Without Borders, gets sent on an unsanctioned humanitarian mission to Syria, and somehow still ends up being a determining factor in Hydra's downfall - all of this without throwing a single punch.

Somehow, he's okay with it.

+ Shield and Hydra learn not to underestimate Steve Rogers, but by then it’s too late

“Easy Work For Easy Pay” (M, 45k) by AustinB

Bucky's working his way back up through the ranks at S.H.I.E.L.D. after a mission took his left arm and Stark gave him a new metal one.

So when Fury tasks him with integrating the newly defrosted Captain Rogers into the 21st century, he jumps at the promotion.

+ Shrunkyclunks with mutual attraction, battle couple-ing, amnesia, and a wedding

“can’t hardly weight” (T, 3k) by attackofthezee (noxlunate)

When Steve Rogers woke up in the future he was given a phone and shown how to use social media.

Well, no, in all actuality he was given a two week crash course entitled The Future And You, a six hour sensitivity course, a brand new id, and a credit card.

In which Steve gets a crush on an instagram gym thot and laments over it a lot to the intern stuck with him.

+ Shrunkyclunks with a lot of thirst and awkwardness

“turn me up when you feel low” (T, 13k) by faerietell

Steve Rogers is a man out of time, in a city that used to be his home, a city he no longer recognizes. Through charming radio host, Bucky Barnes, he relearns his city, adopts a dog, and falls in love.

+ Shrunkyclunks where Steve listens to the radio for advice, conversation, and connection

-☆-

“The New Age” (T, 6k) by AustinB

“You’re good at the future,” Steve says, a little downcast.

Bucky doesn’t notice. He grins, “I always thought I would be.”

(AU: Bucky and Steve were both on the plane when Steve put it in the Arctic.)

+ They will always come back to each other no matter how different their perspectives are, or how far apart they drift

-☆- And a freebie -☆-

“Surveillance” (G, 7k) by Sproings

If there are ears everywhere, that means it's somebody's job to listen.

I hate my job.

+ Steve’s apartment was bugged and this is that outsider’s POV. Part 1 is defrosting, Part 2 covers events of WS.
