I was so close to dropping out of this bang and I'm so glad I didn't - I'm happy with how the fic turned out and I'm so in love with elk's beautiful art!

A/N: And there we have it: a gentle slow burn about two big, bearded, emotionally constipated men falling in love against a backdrop of peaceful woods and with some help from their friends, both old & new, human & animal. I've had a fantastic time writing this story. I'm proud of this one. BritBrit99 has been a dream partner for this collab, and her beautiful art, exceptionally skillful embroidery, compliments the story wonderfully. It's been a true joy working with you! Endless thanks to the magnificent @dreamsinthewitchouse for the beta, the cheerleading, and for talking through ideas with me, despite it being quite last minute. You're a lifesaver, my darling 💙

Hope you enjoy! 🌲❤️

Summary:

In the wake of the Battle of New York, Bucky Barnes bade his old life, or what was left of it, farewell. He bought a deserted cabin in the Catskills, exchanged orthopedic surgery for woodworking, and built a new life for himself as a carpenter. Six years on, Bucky still leads a peaceful, if solitary, existence. Maybe it gets a little lonely sometimes, but that’s why he got himself a dog. And a cat. And a goat.

In 2018, Steve Rogers finally hangs up his shield. He trades Avenging and New York City for the peace and quiet of the Catskills, grows a beard, and isolates himself in an attempt to salvage what’s left of his sanity and identity. After living his life in the public eye for so long, Steve believes that calm and solitude are exactly what he needs. Of course, he didn’t count on meeting Bucky Barnes.

The End of the Road

Summary:

After going AWOL and leaving SHIELD under cover of darkness, Steve Rogers has been on the run for the last year. He lives by a strict routine and has rules in place to ensure he’s kept off of SHIELD’s radar. In Homer, Alaska, Steve meets a shopkeeper named Bucky. Sparks fly between them from the start, and every ounce of self-preservation that Steve has learned in the past year is thrown out the window as he is taken by the desire to learn more about the Omega from the souvenir shop. Their romance blooms quickly, but they are both keeping a piece of themselves hidden. Bucky has a daughter that he’s fiercely protective of, and Steve can’t bring himself to disclose his true identity while SHIELD is still after him. When the past eventually comes knocking, Steve and Bucky find out that their lives are far more intertwined than they could have possibly known.

This story is complete and will update daily August 7th – August 13th, 2022

Tags/Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Museum Tour Guide Bucky, Pre-The Avengers (Movie), Dating a Celebrity, Coming Out, Mistaken Identity, Steve Rogers's name being used in vain by conservatives to justify homophobia

Summary:

When he comes out of the ice in 2011, Steve meets a museum tour guide working at his childhood home and realizes that he has a lot to learn about himself, relationships, and what it means to be in love.

Excerpt:

Steve furrowed his brow, and then, well, he had to laugh. “God, you have no idea how good it feels to have someone be that honest with me.”

Bucky, however, didn’t respond. Instead, he glanced in his direction just once as he licked his ice cream cone, and the look that he gave him made fire kick up his spine. Steve sucked in his breath and did his best to think of something un-sexy–in this case, the first thing that popped into his head was Sitwell explaining how to use a computer to him–and that did the trick for a moment.

“What?” Bucky asked, like he didn’t know what he was doing.

“My uh–apartment isn’t that far from here,” Steve said for no reason at all, rubbing a hand against the back of his neck in an effort to keep his heart from jumping straight into his throat.

Bucky grinned. “Is that so?”

Steve let out a breath. “No, it’s actually pretty far from here, I panicked.”

Excerpt: 

Bucky gestured to the empty street with outstretched arms. The soft skin on the inside of his bicep ignited a powerful emotion inside Steve. "Out here in public? In this role, carrying that shield? You're so hard on yourself, trying to be something else. Trying to fit into a certain mold."

Bucky's hand touched Steve's cheek, thumb stroking the rough beard that had grown. Touch he hadn't felt in so long.

"But when you're with me, you're just you. Steve Rogers. Full of joy and empathy, free to do and say and feel normal human emotions. If you can't see that for yourself, why were you given a second chance at life?"

A second chance. The serum had pulled him back from the dead, preserving him for the future. For this moment.

Summary: below the cut

Ethics Professor!Bucky is barely holding it together, taking over an equine-assisted rehabilitation facility after his partner died, while working on a second doctorate. Cap!Steve, suffering from PTSD and flashbacks, is considering retirement, especially after the latest mission that left him temporarily paralyzed with a spinal injury. It doesn’t take long for the two men, affection starved and hurting, to find love in spite of both harboring a huge secret.

Major kudos to the mods for a really well organized event. This bang was a ton of fun, and I’ll definitely be participating in the next one! ❤️

Hiya!

I thought maybe I'd post something for any of the handful of people who might be interested what I've been up to and don't share a discord server with me! I know I haven't posted much of anything on ao3 in forever and that's because I've been so busy writing, lol. Honestly, it's true. My crazy ass signed up for three concurrent bangs and I wrote two fics for one of those!!!! So here's what you have to look forward to between July 20th and Aug 14th:

July 20th: @capreversebb fic #1 posts: a collab with the awesome @koiponderingarting!!! It's canon divergent, 7k, featuring a feral WS!Bucky set immediately after CA:WS. Rated E, tags include extremely dubious consent, bottom Steve, rough sex

July 25th: my second @capreversebb fill, a collab with the wonderful @nolanfa! This one is a canon adjacent 5k oneshot with a WS!Bucky who has gotten free of HYDRA and is traveling with a giant wolfdog. Rated M for violence and language, tags include recovering Bucky, Bucky's revenge tour 2k16, angst with a happy ending

July 29th: @silver-fox-steve-bang!!! I've been dying to get this one out there, I finished it what feels like forever ago back in March or something, lol. This one is a canon divergent 6k oneshot set after CA:CW and features a Nomad Steve but with gray hair. Art will be from Emmatheslayer who I can't tag bc she's not on tumblr, lol. Rated E, tags include Wakanda Stucky, first time, bottom Steve, recovering Bucky

August 14th: last but not least, we have my @shrunkyclunksbang fic! This one is....15k? 16k? It's not quite done yet, but it'll be around that, lol. This story is canon divergent, featuring a Vampire!Steve! It will have art and an original song from the very cool @rileylastname. Rated E, tags include identity porn, blood, monsterfucking, so much timeline fuckery

Phew! Once I finish up my shrunkybang fic, I will be working on some bingos that I've signed up for, I plan to sign up for the @marvel-arranged-marriage-bang (that will be a Thundershield fic) and also I have a couple of commissions lined up. So fear not, my friends, I have a lot of new stuff coming out between now and the end of the year!!!

@emmalostinwonderland and I worked really hard to make this for you ❤️ for the @shrunkyclunksbang

// Bucky Barnes returns home from his job with the US embassy in Russia with a bullet wound, a fresh case of PTSD, and ever increasing agoraphobic tendencies. For Steve Rogers it’s love at first sight, but he has a secret that has the potential to tear the two of them apart. Between therapy appointments, sudden work trips, and a meddling sister, will they be able to make it work?

…

I’ve been a fandom lurker for a long time and it felt like it was finally time to put my BFA to work. I’ve signed up for another Big Bang 🤫 and I’m gonna make some art for some of my favorite fics to get the juices flowing again. So keep an eye on this space!

Enjoy 🥰🥰🥰
