Is it me you’re looking for? Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven’t got a clue. Whether it’s pulp noir or modern sleuthing, below are my Top 5 Favorite stories:

“REVE STOGERS, P.I., STARRING IN: The Mystery of the Rotund Pussy” (T, 1k) by alcibiades

Reve Stogers, Private Investigator, helps a dame find her lost pussy.

+ Post WS. Steve takes role playing Very Seriously, Bucky just wants to fuck, and the Avengers wish they could unhear and unsee

“The Naked City” (M, 11k) by romanticalgirl

There are a lot of crimes in the city of Los Angeles. One of them is the death of a man most likely connected to the Russian mob, a man accused of the murder, and the woman who hires Steve Rogers, Private Eye to solve the case.

Surprises, lies, and danger wait in the dark. But Steve was hired to do a job, and that's what he's going to do. Even if the people he's working for get in his way.

+ Historical AU. Steve is well networked and is smarter than people give him credit for. Solving mysteries with a side of sexual tension

“Private Eyes” (T, 18k) by HanukoYoukai

James "Bucky" Barnes is a Private Investigator, and he loves his job. It's interesting, pays the bills, and there's rarely a dull moment. It's no exception when Tony Stark calls him up to offer a job under the guise of a wedding invitation. The only stipulation is that Bucky has to bring a date.

Good thing former quarterback Steve Rogers owes him a favor.

But when they meet with Tony and discover a priceless (and dangerous) item of Tony's has been stolen that day right out of Tony's Ready Room, Bucky and Steve have their work cut out for them to find the thief.

Will Bucky be able to track down the criminal before Tony's device falls into the wrong hands?

+ Modern AU. Fake engaged!! An interesting Who-dun-it type of story with investigating leads and growing crushes

“Bucky Barnes, PI” (T, 40k) by MyLadyDay

“You’re staying put and if you so much as think of jumping me, I will run this stake through your chest,” the elf said with a stony face and an honest-to-god stake in his paw of a hand. Bucky noticed there was no sign of the mystery person Sitwell was meeting, meaning they probably slid out the back door or something, but that train of thought was interrupted when the words finally sank in.

In which Bucky is a bored, yet content private investigator and Steve just doesn't know when to let go.

+ Fantasy AU. Elf Steve was cap, vampire Bucky was a sniper in WW2, and they meet for the first time for the events of Winter Soldier. Bucky doesn’t want to get involved in a case, so Steve hires him to Get Involved. Sam friendships, sassy Steve, and happy endings

-☆-

“Where Danger Lives” (T, 4k) by Milady deWinter (ShadowRese)

1920s noir!MCU - Steve's is a gumshoe detective, and Bucky's getting into something he shouldn't.

I was goddamn stupid for Bucky Barnes, and that was a problem. Show me a guy who has feelings, and I'll show you a sucker. It was starting to look more and more everyday like that sucker was me.

+ Historical AU. Old fashioned hardboiled pulp noir. Bucky is framed for murder and hires Steve to set the record straight

The Musketeers: Milady DeWinter [ESTP]

The Musketeers: Milady DeWinter [ESTP]

Functional Order: Se-Ti-Fe-Ni Perceiving Functional Axis:

Extroverted Sensing (Se) / Introverted Intuition (Ni)

Milady is opportunistic and risk-taking, willing to knife someone and steal their dress, or cut their hand, the blade dipped in poison, with musketeers running around. The cardinal (and others) turn to her when they want something done. DeWinter uses her body, sex, and physical…

i think the ambiguity of miladys crime is what makes her soo compelling as a character? like not knowing if she did something, or did not, or something was done to her, if shes guilty, if shes a victim, both. thats what makes her behaviour so fascinating! thats what drives me up the wall with athos’ conflict!!! making it unclear if he condemned her justly or not!!! and any adaptation which has to name what happened to her and give it clear morals is cowardly in my opinion

[gothamgirl28]

I remember at the end of S1 of The Musketeers that I thought I couldn’t hate a character more than the Cardinal and Milady. Now, nearing the end of S2 I’m starting to really like Milady and think the Cardinal was a teddy bear in comparison to Rochefort. Really, I want Comte de Creepy to be killed in a very painful way.

Musketeers Question

I don't get The Musketeers in the USA (I don't have cable or satellite TV). Could someone please tell me if Milady DeWinter has a first name and what it is, or did her parents name her Milady? It's been bothering me. Thank you.

PS Tom Burke (and David Burke) fan here. :D
