#shrunkyclunks

[digital-nocturne]

Just thinking about rabbit stucky.

Shrunkyclunks so Steve’s a big boy and buckys small(er) :))

I have very limited thoughts about the idea right now but, I was thinking Buckys a wild rabbit who’s off searching for a mate and ends up meeting Steve who’s a prim and proper almost like a house pet.

But I’m not sure how the house pet idea would even work in this context. So I’ve gotta think about it some more.

Everything’s a work in progress, also steves expression isn’t disgust, I didn’t realize it kinda looks like that. I was aiming for, ‘holy shit I want him so bad’ but I fucked it up, whoops.

STUCKY RECS | part i

hi all! i've been consuming my fair share of stucky fics lately (in part thanks to all of your lovely recs!) and as per usual, I worry I'll lose them in my mess of ao3 bookmarks if I do not compile them somewhere else as well. I hope some of you might be able to find a few as well in the process!

I'm still working my way through plenty, so this is only one installment. :)

☆ CIVILIAN ☆ by CoraRochester, with (BEAUTIFUL) art by alby_mangroves | E | 71k

“Do you want to go somewhere more… private?” The blond man, after a long silence, had agreed. “My room is just up the block,” he said, jerking his head at the bar’s door. * In 1937, Steve Rogers joins the army, and by 1945, he’s back in Brooklyn, dishonorable discharge in hand and nothing to show for years in the Pacific. In 1947, a seventeen year old Bucky Barnes meets Steve Rogers in a Brooklyn gay bar, and Steve Rogers finally comes home.

warnings: underage sex (bucky is 17 in the beginning), possibly non-con (not between steve and bucky)

☆ IF THE BAD TIMES ARE COMING LET 'EM COME ☆ by suzukiblu | E | 9k

“I think I’m gonna have to hurt some people,” Steve Rogers says, voice tight with rage. The asset assumes that will be him, then laughs at himself for the thought.  He’s not people.

warnings: dehumanization (due to winter soldier!bucky)

☆ MAGIC FINGERS ☆ by lillupon | G | 6k

“Kinda hard to wash your hair if you don’t take your hat off,” Steve says, amused. Hesitantly, Bucky reaches up to pull his cap off, revealing a matted mess of hair. Steve lets out a barely audible, “Oh.” Somehow, Bucky managed to catch his quiet exclamation and his shoulders round up protectively. “Sorry.” Bucky’s voice is tight with shame. Steve feels like a complete unprofessional and a grade A asshole. Steve is just a simple hairdresser.

warnings: none

☆ AND THE NEXT ☆ by mcwho | E | 12k

They have him in the common room of all places, and they won’t let Steve see him. or: a time-travel glitch lands 1936's bucky right in 2025 steve's lap

warnings: underage sex (16 y/o bucky time travels to 2025's steve)

☆ THE CARE & FEEDING OF STEVEN G. ROGERS ☆ by greenbergsays | E | 8k

warnings: none

☆ BETWEEN THE TIDES ☆ by the1918, with super cool art by britbrit99! | E | 52k

“This isn’t the kind of story I usually read.” Bucky Barnes, beta, is a high-strung workaholic in the publishing industry. When he’s suddenly forced out onto vacation by his boss, much to his chagrin, he gets in the car and heads north out of Brooklyn for a month-long stay at a vacation rental on Maine’s mid-coast. His host—a mysterious omega named Steve Rogers—is an idle and lonely romance author with a shelf full of unsubmitted manuscripts and a pocket full of secrets he’s finally ready to share. “I know,” Steve calls back. All around them, the salty sea air rushes off the ocean, tangling itself with gold and crimson leaves in the surrounding tree line. “That’s why I wrote it.”

warnings: alternate universe (a/b/o, untraditional dynamics)

☆ ART NOUVEAU ☆ by voluptuous_panic | E | 12k

Steve's on the worst date of his life. At least the bartender's cute.

warnings: none

☆ DESPITE THE THREATENING SKY AND SHUDDERING EARTH (THEY REMAINED) ☆ by praximeter | E | 71k

“They really didn’t want the mask to come off.” Hill thumbed through the scans, and pulled out a film that she then handed over to Sam, face mostly expressionless but for the flat line of her pursed lips. Sam accepted the film and held it up to the light, angling so both he and Steve could see it, squinting at the outline of the Winter Soldier’s skull, and the blips of unnatural white that showed up, God, in his brain, not to mention about half his teeth, plus the mask, with its thin protrusions— “Those are pins,” Steve realized. He looked over at Hill. “The mask—it’s nailed to his face.” Hill’s face was as unmoved as ever. “Like I said. They really didn’t want it coming off.”

warnings: the aftermath of non-con body modification, drug withdrawal, medical procedures

SHRINK—Y

(small pre serum steve)

CLINKS*

(clink clank metal arm)

YEAHH WHOEVER CAME UP WITH THAT DEFINITELY TAPPED THEIR FOREHEAD AND SLAPPED A KNEE WHILE THEY DID IT

[doveywovy]

modern bucky who lost his arm doing construction work x canon steve whos suddenly much more interested in the hot guy at the bar now that he knows he wasn't in the military

some guy approached bucky for a 'war story' about the arm and bucky's like, only war is between me and Dockside Developments on actually fuckin paying my workers comp. the other guy immediately loses interest and scampers off, which leaves a perfect opening for steve to swoop in and shoot his shot

used to be young | @sparkagrace steve x bucky | teen | 81k

characters: bucky barnes, peter parker, steve rogers tags: canon divergence, shrunkyclunks, peter is spiderman, bucky is peter’s dad, sam is peter’s other dad, steve is an adopted dad, peter has like five dads in this, minor sam/riley, past bucky/sam, getting together, secret relationship

for @yourbuckies

Eight years ago, Bucky Barnes had it all: a steady career, a long-term partner, and he’d finally gotten to grips with the unexpected guardianship of his godson, Peter.  Now, Bucky’s world has tipped upside down. His career is flagging, his ex-boyfriend just married someone else, and Peter has been hiding things from him thanks to the Stark Internship. Everything seems to be going wrong, and Bucky is determined to get answers. Or: Bucky Barnes learns how to be the parent Peter needs, and slowly lets Steve Rogers become someone he might need too.

I'm so thrilled to share this fic! I'm so incredibly grateful to the wonderful @yourbuckies for bidding on me last year for @marveltrumpshate. Huge thanks go to @burnin-brighter for betaing and @pannaflara for cheer-reading. Thank you to the @marveltrumpshate mods for organising such a great event.

Summary: Brooklyn in winter is no one's favorite season. Especially for someone like the recently thawed Steve Rogers, adrift in the twenty-first century after decades on ice, searching for some people to call his own. A chance encounter on a snow-blanketed street one frosty winter night could change all that... if Steve can find a way to ingratiate himself with the gang of colossal fucking assholes who give him no end of grief while serving their community.

Notes: Beautiful friends! <3 I'm back sooner than anticipated because... drumroll, please... I wrote something short! Yes, *me*! Well, short-ish. It's 70 pages in my Word doc, and that is some kind of record. As you can see, there is a total chapter count on this post. Old dogs can learn new tricks, I tell you. ;)

Welcome, welcome to this very wintery fic that I'm now posting in springtime. Mostly so that the winter aspects will go down more smoothly than if I'd posted it in February. I cannot wait for you to meet this Steve (with extra stubborn on top), this Bucky (so freaking brave), and the crew of cranky assholes that become their family. This one is for those of you, like me, who've been out there late at night shoveling several feet of snow, wishing you had someone to help lighten the load (and make you cocoa.) So very excited for you all to read it! Seven chapters, posting once a week. <3 <3 <3

Read Chapter 1
