I’ve Got You Under My Skin - @redgillan

Summary: Modern!AU  We’ve been sleeping together on and off for almost a year and I know it’s angry hate sex but I got you a little gift because it reminded me of you.

This is such a great series thus far, the complex relationship, the feels ;A; But, anything that Maisie writes is great so you should def check it out!

Summary: Modern!AU Reader is in a coma after a car accident. Bucky moves into your apartment and find your spirit still hanging around. 

One of my favorite stories had to be “Spirit in the House” by @redgillan. 

I love this story, it’s so heartbreaking but funny at the same time. It’s great to see Bucky’s change and how that changes his view on life and keep moving forward. However, there are also funny moments, i.e Stripper Steve. Please consider checking it out if you have time!

I tried to keep the 00′s aesthetics going, don’t know how well I did -- but, you should go read these awesome series. Maisie, like always, does a great job in twisting the story and I love younger!Steve slowly coming to realize how horrible he might be in the future. Also, the main characters and Bucky are goals <3, at least for now. 

Missed Chances - @redgillan

Summary:  13 Going on 30!AU - Steve Rogers is crazy about you, but he’s afraid his feelings are only one sided and being one of your best friends, he doesn’t want to ruin your friendship… On his 13th birthday, he makes a wish and wakes up in the body of his 30 year old self. The problem is, you’re no longer a part of his life.

Now, this next author holds dear place in my heart: @redgillan . Not only was she one of the first AU authors that I read on A03. She was also one of the first people I interacted with when I started writing for Marvel, even if it was in a offhanded sort of way through her Steve Birthday challenge. Maisie never turned down my enthusiasm or participation for writing so much for Steve, and that eased my novice self a lot. 

In regard to her stories, I love how Maisie takes some stories and though she states its based on one thing, the story becomes completely her own with interactions and personalities that just steal your heart. She had me rooting for Hades!Bucky and feeling a lot of emotions for him, when the good guy is supposed to be someone else. Maisie has a way with words that has you thinking a completely different thing when the answer seems straightforward. I love how she manages to give Bucky different aspects that shine in each of her stories. And while there might be something series going on, there is still room for laughter -- like with Stripper Steve. So if you want a little bit of everything, consider checking her stuff out:

Dream House 

Spirit in the House (super fav)

Rotten Judgement  (super fav)

Breaking the Rules  (super fav)

Off Beat

Vicious Cycle

Pain Covered in Skin  (super fav)

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes  (super fav)

Summary: Hercules!AU After selling your soul to save your lover’s life, you become one of the Lord of the Underworld’s slave. Bucky is obsessed with one thing: collecting hearts. But why?

I went back to re-reading more of Maisie’s stuff and I love this fic (Rotten Judgement) so much. It gives you a Disney feel, but with its own twist that she does so well. I love the main character because she tries so hard and Bucky always tries to stop her, and they are just such fools. Nat and Wanda are pretty awesome in this two and it does a great job showing that even the Lord of the Underworld can have a happy ending. Please consider checking it out if you love mythology or Disney!
