“Waltzed Right In” by @zelda2h2
Summary: They weren't dating. But sometimes... Sometimes it felt like they were. Like the way he would hold her close under his coat when it was raining, or how he'd bring her dinner if she was working late, or when he would brush the hair out of her eyes and hold his hand there a little too long, or-
"...sorry but I've got a girl."
Then her netflix and chill partner turned out to be more of a Nazis and theft person. And then she met Bucky Barnes on the roof. All of a sudden Darcy had someone new to look after.
It started when he almost broke the coffee maker- sacrilege, she explained, as this is what produced Irish cream delights and such. That's when they decided he would wait for her to start the hot beverages in the morning, and he would reach to the top shelf where Thor kept his share of the Good Coffee. What? He was off planet long enough for Darcy to replenish the stock.
And since she would be in the presence of the marble statue that was Bucky Barnes, Darcy had taken to putting on her hella rad outfit earlier. And so what if she wore less sweaters and tshirts that were a bit tighter with lower necklines?
Why You Should Read It: I am reccing this fic for many reasons, but the first is that it has one of my fic weaknesses: Bucky being interested in science, particularly Jane’s research. The image of Bucky following Jane around like, in her words, a tamed bear because he’s so intrigued by her work is wonderful. There’s also Darcy and Jane friendship and just the right amount of sweetness to bring a smile to your face. I like this Darcy: caring and capable and forthright yet still a bit shaken when she thinks Bucky’s girl is not her. And this Bucky is great too: a little unsure, but also confident and sweet.
