"Take off your shirt, your tie, and your hat."

Things you're supposed to be if you're a vampire: a terrifying, mysterious creature of the night. Things you're not supposed to be: leading a tiny, stubborn child home because you found him all alone in a park and you can't just leave him there. Things that aren't supposed to happen if you're a vampire: running into the same child—except the years are passing and he's growing up—over and over again. Other things that aren't supposed to happen: Steve Rogers remembering who you are even after you've fogged his mind so he forgets. But Bucky should have known from the moment he met Steve that he wouldn’t be able to make Steve do anything he didn't want to—including making Steve forget him. Now Bucky just had to figure out how Steve had remembered him...and why he was so happy about it.

Bucky couldn't remember a time when he hadn't been involved with the STRIKE fraternity on campus. They were a bunch of assholes, but they were really all he had, and they'd wagered a bet for a prize Bucky couldn't refuse. But in order to win, he had to be the first to fuck the tiny, gorgeous, blond freshmen, and he was competing against every other guy in the fraternity.

It was just a bet. A stupid bet.

Sure, it was mean, but no one was gonna get hurt...right?

A nice surprising twist on the usual “bet” trope!

Steve Rogers gave up on joining the army and worked for Stark Industries writing policy letters by hand. It's a dull job, right up until the office across the fire escape is given to an attractive stranger with one arm and no personal boundaries.

Bucky's a bit of a masochist in that sense – needles and the buzz of a tattoo gun have always turned him on...

It’s even worse that this client is what they call a ‘needle virgin’. Doesn’t appear to have a piercing anywhere on him (although Bucky could still be surprised; you never know what people have hiding under their clothes), and he’s already made it clear that he has no prior ink. Bucky’s always found something inherently sexy about being the first person to introduce another to that experience. Not all people like it; some can only handle the one tattoo and then they’re done for good, never seen again.

Others have the tendency to come back, and Bucky always feels a small sense of pride when he watches those select clients getting more and more added to their bodies – now in love with the art form. And if they happen to be getting tattooed by Clint, or Natasha, or Logan, there’s always that feeling of, But my art went on you first.

He has absolutely no problem popping this guy's needle cherry.

An “I've been breaking my phone on purpose just because you work at the help desk cell phone repair store” AU based on a tumblr prompt (whoo popping my AU cherry in this fandom).

Bucky didn't mean to break his phone in the middle of a lukewarm date with the guy Natasha's trying to set him up with. But that guy points him to S.H.I.E.L.D. Repairs, and the guy who works there is downright sinful. The first time he busts his phone is an accident. Every time thereafter. . .? Ye-ah, not so much.

In which Steve Rogers loses God and finds God and loses God, and also: Bucky.

This fic was so incredibly well-written; the whole religious filigram lining all the canon events made it unique and original, the writing is amazing, the historical setting just seems so accurate; a masterpiece!

Steve just wanted a job. He wasn't expecting a marriage proposal. And he certainly wasn't expecting to accept.

Very good, well-written, but it’s angsty so it’s a bit of a downer at times,
