Lessons in Normality

Things Steve knows about his boyfriend Bucky: How he looks with his face relaxed in sleep. That he can perfectly flip pancakes. The way he’s open about things Steve is still adapting to, like therapy and depression and sex toys and being a millennial. The way he laughs with his mouth wide open and his eyes squinted, and the cheerful way he cheats at cards and loses at laser tag.

The way he seduces Steve with a knowing glint in his eye. The way Steve responds to it, stronger each time, taken by his beauty and competence and snark and compassion (or the compassionate way he boots Steve in the ass when he needs a push).

Things Steve doesn’t know about his boyfriend Bucky: That he’s an undercover operative gathering intel on Hydra, SHIELD, and which Steve is affiliated with.

Under One Small Star

A long time ago, in the kingdom of Leoman, two boys named Steve and Bucky lived under the watchful eye of Steve's mother, Sarah. Raised to be fair and kind, brave and true, the two were family in all but blood. Yet their idyllic existence was to be short-lived, and when tragedy struck, the boys were torn apart. One was taken into the home of a strange man with stranger children, while the other was forced to bear the weight of a crown he did not ask for.

As the years went on, Steve Rogers forgot the boy he'd known so well. He grew into a fine young man; fair and kind, brave and true. So, when he met a stranger in the woods - someone who needed his help - what other choice did he have?

Man's Best Friend

When Bucky gets a dog, Steve tries to be happy that he's got a new best friend. After all, Bucky deserves a friend who doesn't have flashbacks to the helicarriers every time he gets too close - unlike Steve.

We Never Had a Choice (But I Choose You)

When Bucky Barnes is abducted by political activists, the circumstances are simple enough. Desperation breeds all sorts of terrible decisions, after all, and Bucky's captor is clearly woefully out of his depth. Maybe, just maybe, he can talk his way to freedom, but the more Bucky learns about the circumstances of his capture, the more complicated things seem to get. On the run and forced to trust the man who abducted him, Bucky comes to realize that kidnapping is the least of his worries.

The Language of Joy

Offered safe harbor in Wakanda, Bucky begins to heal. As he does, memories of his old life and who he was surface, including how he once felt for Steve. After years of suffering, Bucky learns that even without expectation, desire is in itself a beautiful thing.

Until one day when he unexpectedly kisses Steve. And Steve kisses him back.

On the Ropes

Bucky's on the take. If the upcoming illegal boxing match or the looming world war don't do him in, Steve just might.

He thinks of the money promised and how he wants to give Steve the whole damn world: all he’s got are his own two hands, and if they have to be bent to hurting other people to get what he needs, then so be it.

Lavender Town

Bucky lives in a sleepy town, shares a house with his should-be-boyfriend Steve, and helps Wanda with her crafts. He likes hanging out with Clint the owner of the animal shelter, and drinking Natasha's delicious coffee at the bakery. But there is something off about this life that Bucky can’t quite place; Tony Stark dislikes him for no apparent reason, his dreams are too strange to understand, and his left arm occasionally glints under the light. A series of strange events clue Bucky in on the fact that maybe their lives aren’t what they seem...

Kataigída

There’s a storm above. The water above him is dark, angry; he can feel the tension threading through her, holding her hostage. The water is empty of life other than him, the usual hustle and bustle tucked away safe, deep, where the wind-churned waves can’t affect them. Bucky had never claimed to be the smartest person around, and he doesn’t try to now, drifting in the storm-sea. The crystal in his trident hums at him, so he hums back, gently threading energy out of it and gifting it back to the water.

A dark shape cuts through the water above him, and his grip instinctively tightens on the trident. It’s big, too big to be an animal, now that the whales have moved on to follow the warmth. A boat, then.

Humans.

OR: the fic where Bucky's king of the Mer, Steve's a human, and somehow they make it work.

a rupture, a rapture

“In my timeline, on April 27th, 2018—today—Thanos invades Earth to collect the final Infinity Stone, and succeeds. With the snap of his fingers, Thanos erases three and a half billion people from existence on Earth alone."

Steve pauses. His gaze falls to something out of frame—finding words, or maybe composure. When he straightens again, he looks titanic.

“I’ve come back in time to prevent this from happening." He squares his jaw and swallows. "I only hope to God I succeed.”

(After the Cataclysm, and also before.)

A Matter of Time

Steve Rogers crosses the Atlantic rounding off at about ninety-five pounds of pure adrenaline, which is precisely the opposite of what Bucky Barnes ever wanted for him.

Steve's story goes forwards. Bucky's story goes backwards. Perhaps they'll find a way to meet each other halfway.

OR: If anyone had the fucking courtesy to ask Bucky Barnes what he thought of all this.
