Hey. Have I ever recc'd my favorite Stucky fic of all time here?

It's the series bene castigat by Nonymos and it's a modern au shrinkyclinks pro-Dom Steve and Sub Bucky fic, and I am having trouble thinking about anything else at the moment.

Into That Good Night by Nonymos, binding by DCB Bindery (dontcallmebree)

Summary: Steve Rogers has lived for entirely too long—long enough to see the world's end. The heroes are gone, and the Earth is pushing what's left of mankind towards the exit. But when a makeshift team rises from the ashes, when a mysterious presence all but drags Steve there, he begins to think there may be hope yet. As they shoot for the stars one last time, Steve will get proof yet again that the future is nothing if not an echo of the past.

Specs: Straight back bradel binding, gold leather headbands, 257 pages, B6, black endpapers.

Thanks to Nonymos for letting me bind this gorgeous winding tale! So beautifully written and gut-wrenching in the best way possible, I hope I did this piece justice.

On the process: Typesetting was an interesting process! Decided on a lead-in instead of a drop cap, had a lot of fun with styling the chapter numbers, and had the opportunity to turn the original round text into a double page spread. Lots of help from the lovely community at Renegade Bindery on that last one!

Somehow, the textblock trimming and casing in went worse than before, but I’d rather not relive the horror. The bright side is the headbands turned out better this time and I got to title the spine! Choosing to focus on the positives.

… and hereby completing my run of bossy pre-serum Steve fics, here’s one of the ultimate scrappy pre-serum Steves paired with an absolute sweetheart of a Bucky. You’ve probably read this already, but it’s worth rereading.

So it’s been years since I read it but “Into That Good Night” by Nonymos still haunts me. It made me so emotional while reading it and I still feel the angst and sadness and hope to this day. I even remember watching Endgame for the first time and seeing Loki steal the tesseract again and thinking “holy shit he’s going to create those time windows and we can see happy Thor again (but lol nope as far as we know).” The way the author managed to leave that impact on readers is incredible

Call me, call me. Let me know it’s all right. Call me, call me. (Don’t you think it’s about time?) Below are my Top 5 Favorite stories: 

“Let this be light work” (T, 8k) by caughtinanocean

On the run with Sam and Natasha, Steve finds the words to describe his commitment to Bucky. As with most of Steve’s decisions, there are unintended consequences.

“It’s no use,” Natasha tells Sam. “You won’t get him to go out and flirt. Steve here’s a married man.”

They’re somewhere in Croatia, and Sam’s been hard at work, trying to pull Steve away from a busy night of sketching and staring at his phone. He wants to go out and drink plum brandy and dance with the locals.

“You should go without me,” Steve says, hazy. Married. A married man. Isn’t that something?

+ Post CW. Steve considers Bucky his husband, so he tells people he’s married (even though he’s not)

-☆-

“Skype Right” (E, 7k) by Kalee60

Steve didn’t like the idea of Skype, but it was a necessary evil in his line of work, especially when his friend and co-worker, Sam, refused to leave DC and Steve was never leaving Brooklyn.

He wasn’t expecting to see the literal man of his dreams wandering around in the background of one of Sam’s calls, one who, once they got to talking, proved to be everything Steve had ever wished for.

So what was he to do? Because it appeared the man he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with, was dating Sam. Wasn’t he?

+ Modern AU. Steve gets a crush! Skype chats, mutual pining, and long-suffering Sam. 

-☆-

“you’ll find something waiting” (E, 3k) by cobaltmoony, Nonymos

These times are odd times. Steve’s forgotten what it meant to have a circadian cycle; he’s overtaken the sun around the globe more than once in less than a week. He sleeps when he’s tired, and eats when he’s hungry. There are no more movies he needs to watch, no more books he needs to read, no more small talk, no more silent apartments, nothing beyond the endless string of missions and how he can fit his immediate needs in there. It’s like being back in the European theater, this mixture of constant strain and exhilarating freedom.

+ Post CW. They never defined their relationship, but a strip tease and Skype sex can fix that right up

-☆-

“love is blind (steve and bucky are just dumb)” (T, 4k) by wearing_tearing, talkplaylove

“You shouldn’t have interrupted their date, then,” Natasha pipes up, finally showing her face as she gives Bucky a wave and a tiny smile. “I like the hair.”

“Thank you.” Bucky preens a little. He ignores the teasing about this being a date; Nat and Sam somehow got it into their heads that Steve and him were dating via Skype calls. They’re not. They’re just friends who video call sometimes. Friends do that.

+ Post CW. They’re absolutely dating; they just don't know it 

-☆-

“a line that goes all the way” (E, 45k) by napricot

"About six months after he left Bucky in cryostasis in Wakanda, Steve got a text from an unidentified number: He is awake and well, and wants to see you."

Steve and Bucky reunite and reconnect, with some help from modern technology.

+ Post CW. Steve visits, and leaves, visits, and leaves. One day, he’ll stop circling and stay for good. In the meantime, there’s always Skype.

-☆-

-☆- And a freebie where they missed their Skype date -☆-

“Where The Lovelight Gleams” (T, 2k) by heartsdesire456

For the past thirteen years, Steve and Bucky have said 'Merry Christmas' to each other every year. Some years, they weren't together when they said it, but when Bucky was deployed, apart from one year when Bucky's call got interrupted by action, they always managed a 'Merry Christmas' in Bucky's weekly Skype call.

It was Christmas Eve and Bucky's Skype call time had come and gone.

Steve couldn't imagine a worse Christmas than one where he didn't get to tell his husband Merry Christmas.

+ Modern AU. Steve doesn’t get that call, but he gets something better

Fanfic Rec #60 Bucky Barnes/Steve Rogers (Marvel)

Not Your Average Hook Up by RockSaltAndRoll Bucky Barnes is home from the army on two weeks R&R and going crazy. His friend Natasha suggests that he get laid and convinces Bucky to get the Grindr app. Gorgeous tiny blond artist Steve stands out among the profiles and, as nervous as he is, Bucky goes over to his apartment. But he's pretty sure that Hook-ups are not meant to be like THIS.

Roots Have Grown by AustinB Bucky is a mildly agoraphobic veteran with funds to spare, who becomes enamored with the cute blonde guy in his building. So when Steve mentions needing a roommate to cut down on rent costs, Bucky decides it would be a good idea to volunteer.

Collar Full of Chemistry by 2bestfriends Steve is very rich and desperate to feel in control of his life again after a recent divorce has left him feeling bitter and lonely. When he keeps crossing paths with a disaster twenty-something, an unconventional solution presents itself. Steve's always been one for following his instincts. Bucky is very broke and can't seem to catch a break, especially after some asshole fires him for one fucking mistake. So of course, it follows that he should sign a contract agreeing to do everything and anything that same asshole wants for a whole year in exchange for a payout that could finally change his life for the better. — AKA a fantasy BDSM romance featuring heavy mutual pining, feelings denial, and enough kink to blackout a bingo card. We know what we're about, son. We encourage everyone to read tags and notes. We want everyone to have a safe and happy reading experience! :)

we are the things that we do for fun by Nonymos Going to a professional Dom may be one of the weirdest things Bucky’s ever done. Especially since this skinny Steve Rogers guy doesn’t really look the part. But hey, they might just find a way to make this work.

Off The Record by Brenda "This is a serious coup, James.  Steve Rogers has never sat down with a member of the press and given an interview.  Ever.  Do you know how rare that is for the fourth-string star on a cable reality show, much less the biggest movie star in the world?"
