Hi, wanted to plug my own fic if it’s possible! Touch Me I’m Going to Scream by buffypeppers in AO3. https://archiveofourown.org/works/21468454/chapters/51162253 “Only a few days have passed since the Winter Soldier put Sam into a hospital bed but Steve is ready to find HYDRA’s assassin and bring him to justice. Things won’t go according to plan once the Avengers find the infamous man.” Steve and Bucky don’t know each other in this one btw. I want to tell you how much I appreciate this blog. I came here just to self promote but I ended up looking through the last like 20 recommendations and once again I found something that looks just for me.

I’d love to rec a WiP that’s been delivering the goods for the last couple weeks. It’s a Stucky AU, with Matt Murdock and Foggy co-starring. Gorgeous characterisations, interesting plot, great writing all around. Wolf Like Me by femmejolras

Bucky is a fixer. Or, at least, he usually is, except when Matt ropes Sharon into roping Bucky into helping a client.

AKA an AU based on the new Winter Soldier comics, in which Steve and Bucky never knew each other until the 21st century and also Steve is from the 21st century. Get ready for canon to be blatantly ignored!

Hi! I wanted to share one of my fics here. It’s during TWS and Steve and Bucky never met in the 20th century but they still became Captain America and the Winter Soldier. Steve along with some of the Avengers try to catch the Soldier after he gravely injured Sam but when they find him things don’t seem to add up.

I was wondering if you had any fics with handler!steve? Thank you!!

Rivers and Roads by AustinB (complete | 28,569 | M ) 

Steve is working undercover for Hydra when he gets an unexpected promotion.

To the Winter Soldier Project.

The Wolf and The Sheep by aislingdoheanta (complete | 50,557 | T ) 

Steve Rogers is a SHIELD agent who is recruited for a secret project: Becoming a handler for the Asset. Steve’s world is thrown for a loop when he discovers the Asset is an actual person and he needs to figure out who he is and what he’s going to do.

Steve as the Winter Soldier’s handler AU. (Non-HYDRA trash party.)

Eat Rotten Fruit from a Shitty Tree* by birdbrains (complete | 21,752 | M ) *Bucky doesn’t exactly literally think Steve is his handler, but treats him that way due to past trauma and conditioning ; discussion of consent issues which are eventually resolved 

“So first of all I wasn’t aiming for you,” Steve said.“It’s okay if you were,” Bucky said. “I realize I was testing your patience—”“You can’t seriously think it would be okay for me to stab you with a fork,” Steve said.There was a pause and Bucky said, ducking his head a little, “No, I guess not.” Then he looked at Steve and said, “What, you gonna get mad at me again for treating you like Hydra?”

Also you can check this AO3 search.

Hi! I'm looking for a fic and I'm getting really desperate here. Steve is in live with Bucky but they don't know each other (co-workers at the docks). Once Steve becomes captain America he tries to woe Bucky but Bucky is actually in love with Steve and doesn't know that Steve is ca? Do you know this one? Thanks!

We’ve a got tag for this trope right here. Check it out. Think you’ll enjoy it. :D 

Someone wrote in to say that the fic is:

Our Perceived Realities by SkyisGray (complete | 21,371 | E ) 

Bucky Barnes has always lived at the edge of Steve’s map. From grade school to church to this foul-smelling dock job, where Bucky heaves crates around and Steve counts figures in the dark, cool office, they’ve always been close enough to be aware of each other but too far to strike up any real friendship.

They’ve lived in the same neighborhood among the same stock of beaten-down Irish immigrants their whole lives, and they’ve had three proper conversations.

Thanks! :)

Hey guys! I was wondering. Are there any works on Steve and Bucky not knowing each other before war time, but they meet there, and fall in love? I wasn't sure if there was a trope with something like this, so I didn't really know how to look for it. Thank you so much!

i can only think of

P.O.W. by Avaaricious (oneshot | 20,420 | T)

AKA the “You’re strapped to a table in a lab and I’ve come to rescue you, but you think you’re hallucinating and kiss me” AU

if anyone knows of more, please reply to this post!
