When You Awake by Lunar_Pull

“Mr. Wilson, what do you remember?” Dr. Ramirez asks, her voice tense.
And here is a moment of choice for you. There’s a part of you that wants to lie; wants to simply ignore this terror and just pretend. There’s a part of you that is paralyzed with fear.
But there’s another part of you, sure as the rising sun, that will never back down. You don’t know who you are but you know you cannot turn away from this or any other challenge. You’re not built like that, that much you know.
You open your eyes again. Take a deep breath.
“I don’t remember anything.”

“Steve told me you were quite the ladies’ man back in the day.”
“Back in the day?” said Bucky, huffing a small laugh. “You mean 1943?”
“Sure. Told me about all the double dates you’d set up for them. He said half the time he was just an excuse so that you could take out two girls.”
“Steve said that? Geeze.” Bucky shook his head. “So ungrateful. Kid was like the hardest person to set up with a date.”
“‘Cause of the skinny thing?”
“No, the moral righteousness thing,” Bucky nodded at Sam. “Maybe you know something about that.”
-
How Sam figures out that Bucky’s probably into him, which is a problem because Sam loves Bucky but it’s not like he’s IN love with Bucky, right?

“I think Zemo did some shit tonight,” continues Sam, and he takes a few steps towards Bucky. “And I think it’s messing with you.”
“I don’t want to talk about it,” says Bucky in a voice that’s closer to a growl, turning around fully now.
“Just let me – ”
“I said I don’t want to talk about it.”

Bucky has enough to deal with given his feelings for Sam and his latent masochistic streak, so if everyone could stop treating him like some sort of murder sexbot, that would be great.

There are flowers on Sam Wilson’s doorstep. The flowers are from Bucky. Sam isn't exactly sure what that means.

Madripoor is for lovers OR That Snake Shot, may not have been the best life decision Sam's ever made, of course he ends up in the local hospital. But there is absolutely no way he's telling anybody that he got taken out by some sorta back-alley cocktail, no sirree.
“So,” Sam licks his lips nervously, they shine in the fluorescent light, “Uh, if anybody asks, that drink was hella strong— with you know— aphrodisiacs and whatnot, like you said, so after the party, I took you back to my room and you had the best fuckin’ night of your life.”
Bucky’s nodding along absently, watching the door until—
“What?”

It’s been such a monumental year-and-a-bit, like he’s lived so many more years’ worth of life, in this one span of time. He feels so unsure of himself, of his own footing, but he’s spent the past year trusting and loving and needing Sam; and, he realizes, as Sam holds him tighter, Sam sees him, knows him for who and what he is, and still trusts, and loves, and needs him, anyway, too, and that’s it, that’s all.
or: 5 times Sam asks, + 1 time Bucky asks;
or: snapshots of a year of non-linear healing, of figuring shit out, of love.

“I love you,” he laughs, because he does, because this is absurd, because healing isn’t linear and maybe he’ll never be done with it, ever, but, god, if this is what the future looks like, Bucky wants it all.

or: a weekend in New Orleans

Sam’s no fool, he knows what’s going on. As he catches his breath, he sees the beginning of a dance between his sister and Bucky.
Bucky isn’t flirting, per se. But he is being extremely charming. Slick son of a bitch.

“There’s no way you’re going to win this,” Bucky tells Sam. “I am going to love language the shit out of you.”
Sam gives him a considering look. “You do seem like you’d be really good at that.”
Bucky’s cheeks flush with heat. “Thanks, pal, I—”
Sam smirks, and Bucky’s eyes narrow. He shoves his elbow into Sam’s side and stalks off, leaving Sam cackling behind him.
“Your ass looks great today!” Sam yells.
Bucky reaches up to flip Sam the bird, and he definitely does not feel grateful that he wore his good jeans today. Bucky’s ass looks great every day.

still feel the pull of you by napricot
E | 44.3k | nwa | post: endgame
"The frantic pulse of fear doesn’t ease until Sam catches sight of Barnes for the first time since the end of the battle: he’s dirty and disheveled, and still, somehow, impossibly, the best thing Sam’s ever seen. The gallop of Sam’s heart slows, and the tightness in his lungs eases so suddenly that it’s like he’s gone buoyant, ready to float away without the help of any wings. Barnes turns as if he can sense Sam looking at him, and when he meets Sam’s eyes, he smiles, and it’s the brightest damn thing on this battlefield, a shock of sweetness in the midst of so much dark bitterness and confusion. Sam smiles back, giddy with joy and relief.
He thinks, thank God Bucky’s okay.
Then he thinks, wait, what the fuck?"
After realizing there are some unexpected side effects for those who've been brought back to life after the Snap, Sam and Bucky slowly but surely learn that if they want to be loved, they must submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known [via soul bond].

Bucky's older memories are coming back, sometimes at the cost of more recent ones. What he cannot forget is tearing the wings off Sam Wilson. Too bad Bucky just let Steve talk him into staying with him and Sam. Consumed by guilt, the only thing Bucky knows to do by way of apology is to let Sam hurt him back. Fortunately, Sam has better ideas.

They keep driving, for lack of anything better to do. A mission, Sam had said, and maybe that's true; maybe wherever they're headed is the way out, the way up.

Their relationship is a beautiful secret they keep; it's something only the two of them revel in. And before they even started this thing, they agreed it wasn't something anyone needed to know.
Here they're just Sam and Bucky; they're colleagues who are roommates and kind of get along. It's been fun keeping it up. There's a delicious thrill in hiding it, as well as a particular, terrifying fear they both share.

Bucky glances up at Sam through his eyelashes. His look is soft and a little wistful, and it abruptly explains everything from the past two years. Simmering just below the surface of this look is the reason why someone like Steve would drop the shield for Bucky not once but twice, and would make that same decision over and over again if he had to.
It’s not like Sam didn’t get it before. He did. Of course he did. He’d have given everything up for Riley, would still give all of this up in a heartbeat if it meant having Riley back in his life, now more than ever. He got it before, all right.
It’s just that now he understands.

That seems to be the thing that breaks the ice between them; Bucky's never really hung out with Sam before, past being jammed into a too-small car for six hours and then two uncomfortable months in a safehouse trying not to get on each other’s last nerve. Now they’re getting lunch or coffee every few days. Sam falls asleep on Bucky’s couch three more times. Bucky joins him and Steve a couple of times on their morning run.
He doesn’t notice, is the thing; doesn’t notice how ever since Sam slept on his couch that night he’s been letting Bucky closer bit by bit, that as Bucky’s been wondering about the boundaries and structures of friendship, Sam’s been drawing in.

Bucky comes in from the cold and stumbles into...
A) an okay life. B) a tenuous friendship. C) something more. D) a wedding. E) All of the above.
Most days, happiness feels like a test. But he's trying, and trying to try, and that might make a difference.

Sam wasn't sure what he'd expected when he'd signed on to join Steve in hunting down the Winter Soldier. After over a year with no sign of the other man, he was beginning to think they'd never find him, especially once Steve gets pulled back into Avengers business.
Sam was right. He doesn't find Barnes.
Barnes finds him.

Author: snaxo
Rated: Teen
Pairings: Erik/Charles
Length: 16,100
Summary: Charles sends a text to the wrong number.
Rec notes: Stop whatever you're doing and read this gem of a fic. It's the whole classic 'wrong number' situation but snaxo does it in such a way that it's completely refreshing and fun. It's told mostly through text messages (something I don't usually like) but it's definitely worth the read if only for the hilarious banter back and forth and the anecdotes they share with one another.
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Teen Wolf (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski Characters: Stiles Stilinski, Derek Hale, Sheriff Stilinski, Scott McCall, Kira Yukimura, Lydia Martin, Caitlin (Teen Wolf) Additional Tags: Accidental Baby Acquisition, Fluff and Angst, Humor, First Kiss, Happy Ending, Kid Fic Summary:
The baby's wailing is piercing, Stiles doesn't know how Derek can stand it. He tries shushing her and cooing at her and bouncing her a little, but the crying only gets louder, and in addition to hurting his ears, it's hurting his soul.
“Stiles,” Derek interrupts him mid-croon, eyebrows meeting over the bridge of his nose, “have you fed her since you found her?”
Stiles gapes and looks down at the baby's distressed face as she bawls.
More fluff to add to my rec list. Stiles taking care of a baby just pulls at my heart strings. And Derek is there all along the way, naturally. You want to coo at the baby, that they name Laura.
