Just say yes, just say there’s nothing holding you back. It’s not a test, nor a trick of the mind, only love. Bucky and Steve want to officially spend the rest of their lives together. Below are my Top 5 Favorite stories:

“Proposal Pending” (G, 1k) by so_shhy

He doesn't want to make a huge production of it. He just wants to make it special. Something worthy of Steve, that shows Bucky knows exactly the proposal he would like best. It's gotta be romantic as all hell.

And Bucky's got nothing.

+ Post WS. Bucky tries to think of the perfect way to propose; Steve doesn’t need it to be fancy.

“your day number one in the rest of forever” (T, 4k) by hitlikehammers

“Double digits,” Steve says idly, his smile so present in the words as he pulls back, but only just enough to run the tip of his nose along Bucky’s cheek. “We got excited enough to get into ‘em.”

“Might as well celebrate the last of ‘em with,” and Bucky’s grin is sly as he nips at the hinge of Steve’s jaw: “equal enthusiasm.”

+ Post WS. Happy 99th Birthday, Bucky! Established relationship, recovered jewelry, and heartfelt proposals

-☆-

“Everything (that I couldn't have)”(T, 7k) by obsessivereader

“You don’t have to do this, Steve.” Bucky pushes away the letter from the Russian government demanding that one Dmitri Batischev, alias the Winter Soldier, be surrendered to them to stand trial for his crimes.

Steve hesitates in the doorway. Bucky must’ve heard the tail end of his conversation with Pepper. Now he looks tired, and resigned, and so done and Steve fucking hates that Bucky keeps getting dealt shit hand after shit hand. “I want to.” He hopes Bucky can hear the conviction in his voice. “I’m not losing you again.”

“But getting married? You think that’s gonna work?”

+ Post WS. Marriage of convenience/Fake Married, but neither of them are faking feelings. Mutual pining, domestic life, and all the affection. 

-☆-

“The Happily-Ever-After Business” (T, 23k) by mambo

After planning perfect weddings for New York's elite, wedding planner Steve Rogers is ready to find love for himself.

But he didn't anticipate falling in love with the tattoo artist who works down the street.

+ Modern AU. Wedding planner Steve and Tattooist Bucky, meet, fall in love, and discuss their ideal wedding

-☆-

“we're looking for the sun” (G, 1k) by msbluesunflower

After SCOTUS marriage equality ruling, Steve was asked to make a speech.

He does a little bit more than that.

+ Post WS. Steve comes out on TV and asks Bucky an important question. 

-☆-

-☆- And a short freebie! -☆-

“A Certain Romance” (M, 490 words) by neversaydie

"Did you just eat that cupcake?"

"Yeah."

"Did you not notice the big fuckin' ring on the top of it?"

"Uh… no."

"For fuck's sake Steve."

+ Post WS. Idiots in love. “you swallowed it so we're engaged. No takebacks."

When I was a wee one and learned that sand came from the erosion of rocks, I used to get depressed at the thought that one day Haystack Rock would no longer exist. At least it exists for my lifetime. . . . #haystackrock #cannonbeach #cannonbeachoregon #oregoncoast #oregon #oregonexplored #thegoonies #neversaydie #pnwbeaches #pnw #upperleftusa #upperleftcoast (at Haystack Rock) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO83LeYsFwD/?igshid=1nk3g4wbm9j9v

Every day is a new day

If you wear a fitness wristband or know what it is, it keeps a count of your steps you walked in a day and encourages you to complete your step goal (typically 10000). No matter how you performed the day before, the next days goal is the same.

If you were super active today and took 20000 steps, it does not give you a lesser goal for the next day. Or if you were a couch potato and took just 3000 steps, it does not penalize you for the next day.

Probably life works the same way in some manner. If you were obnoxious a given day, you have equal chance to improve the next day. And if you were a star performer at your work, you cannot bloat over it for long. You need to perform next day too.

No matter who has told you differently, you are worth everything.

"I think I could do it here, y'know."

"Do what?" Steve is sweating in the muggy late-summer storm, shirt inadequate for the weather and sticking to his shoulders as it becomes steadily soaked through. He hasn't tried to make Bucky take shelter from the rain and instead stayed beside him under the onslaught, leaning on the eroded rail of the pier and watching the water roil beneath them. He wonders if their combined weight is enough to break the rusted metal altogether, if they could end up falling all over again. If they ever stopped.

Bucky finally cuts his eyes sideways, a flash of grey as stormy as the sea below that's somehow still shocking after all these years. Steve doesn't feel like it's betrayal to say he looks fucking terrible, all dark circles and five-day beard and sallow skin like he hasn't seen the sun for years. He lifts his working shoulder in a slow shrug and looks back out at the horizon, where there are more dark clouds rolling in towards them.

"Get better."
