Ain't Together (ao3) - gelos steve/bucky T, 3k
Summary: "You got nothing on the dozens of girls at the club.”
“Shut up, Buck. You can’t be serious.”
“I am, though. I am,” Bucky tilts his head a little, managing to look Steve in the eyes. “Haven’t been this serious about anything in my life.”
“Where are you going with this?”
Bucky had nothing to say, and Steve wasn’t surprised. Wasn’t this the million-dollar question? Where were they going with this? With the soft pining and the strong feelings of possession over one another; with the nights slept together and the days barely being able to hold each other; with not being able to tell how they felt cause then it would turn it a real thing. It hurt to react like this to Bucky’s heartfelt confession. He knew Bucky meant what he said, but Steve couldn’t help but feel a little afraid for himself. Bucky will probably have a nice life, get a good job, find the right girl. For Steve things aren’t this easy. When Bucky finally sees what they have can’t be, at least in the long run, what’ll happen to little Stevie, then?"

Talking Bodies (ao3) - itsallavengers steve/tony T, 13k
Summary: Coincidentally, the physical effects of romantic and sexual desire match up very closely with the physical effects of fear. But it's not a problem-- it's not like anyone is going to be able to hear the way your heart speeds up, or see the minute dilation of your pupils, are they?
