Steve angles the blade carefully against Bucky's skin, and Bucky doesn't flinch; he doesn't even blink.

"That was the best first date I've been on in a long time," Steve says.

Bucky frowns at Steve. "Which date are you talking about?"

"What do you mean 'which date?' I'm talking about this date." Steve raises his eyebrows like what he's saying should be obvious. He waves his arm, gesturing between them. "The date we just went one."

Date?? - After a misunderstood text, Bucky finds himself on a date-he-didn't-know-was-a-date with Steve. But Bucky doesn't date. Ever.

With a little help from his friends Bucky works through some things and gets himself a boyfriend...and maybe a little more than he bargained for.

Hi I'm looking for a fic. It's a modern AU as far as I remember, and (PreSerum) Steve and Bucky are in college and roommates and know each other since childhood and have been together for years. They are both asexual. I remember their relationship being very beautiful, they just worked really well together.

This one, maybe?

Scéal by HunterPeverell (oneshot |3,768 | G)

The thing was—The thing was, neither of them were broken. Apart, they were whole. Together they were whole, too. They could be who they were together and knew the other would love them regardless. They could feel complete in a world that told them they were broken and whisper to one another in the safety of the dark, saying, “I love you,” and know it to be true.

helloo! looking for a fic where bucky confessed his love for steve but steve turned him down because he's ace. they didn't talk much after that but were forced to go undercover as a couple and ended up making out a lot. i believe there was a massage involved somewhere in the fic. then before they nearly die steve comes out to bucky and everything is okay. it was finished (not sure if oneshot or multiple chapters. thank you so much for all you're doing! you're f***ing awesome!

This one?

Rogers & Barnes: Partners by triedunture (oneshot |10,510 | T)

Steve and Bucky have to pose as a couple for a mission. Nat insists it really is the only option. She's checked.

The complication: unbeknownst to even Natasha, Steve and Bucky's friendship has been rocky ever since Bucky confessed his tender feelings and Steve left him out in the cold. Can asexual, completely-in-love-with-his-angry-best-friend Steve complete the mission and win Bucky's heart?

(The answer is yes. Yay!)

An ace friendly back- dated work from leveragehunters (Monkeygreen). It’s really lovely to read.

For the anon looking for no smut but a deep love/bond, my fic for the bb this year is a canon compliant wwII action fic prominently featuring Steve and Bucky's companionate relationship, and it would count as ace friendly for anyone else who's interested in an angsty, plot-driven mission fic :^) It's called "Meet Me on the Darkest Night" by Cryofreeze x)

Thank you for writing in!

Meet Me On The Darkest Night by Cryofreeze

“I know you think it wasn’t my fault, Buck…”

“You had to make a decision, there was no right or wrong choice.”

Steve blinked miserably at the stone step beneath his knees, grinding grit into his so-called uniform. “Maybe I’m not cut out to be a Commanding Officer.” He forced back a lump in his throat threatening to constrict his voice. “Or Captain America…”

~ ~ ~ ~

After the Howling Commandos’ last mission goes awry, Steve questions his morals and self worth as a soldier… and as Captain America. He struggles to believe in himself and the man he thought he was, but being thrust back out on another dangerous mission gives him little time to choose between his own self-doubts or giving his all to save 1,000 prisoners of war from Hydra’s clutches.

With the aid of Peggy Carter and the unwavering support of Bucky Barnes, they set out on a rescue mission inside the confines of a medieval fortress in WWII Europe. However, Steve isn’t the only one to find the ghosts of the place crawl under his skin…

There’s angst, action and an emotionally driven core to the tale of how Steve Rogers is forced to come to terms with what it really means to be Captain America.

More Heart, Less Attack by detour

After SHIELD’s collapse, Steve comes back in New York. Without a war or crisis, he’s struggling to find his place in the world again. There’s time to relearn his city and time to wonder what he’s doing here.

When a mysterious guy hits on him on the subway, it’s a welcome interruption. Something resonates between the two of them, a connection neither of them try to deny. The trouble is that Barnes disappeared three years ago, and the more Steve learns, the more he wants to know.

But Barnes disappeared for a reason.

Sam rolls his eyes. “Yes, Steve, you could have a lead on a three year old mystery because you’re just that good, not because a random hipster flirted with you.”

“Well, when you put it that way,” Steve says.
