    Summary

    Dating is hard. It's especially hard when you're a 100 year old, ex-brainwashed assassin, with a metal arm and a chip on your shoulder.

    "You just need to find a bit of common ground." Steve says.

    Like it's that simple. Like there's anyone nowadays who likes any of the same things he does; black and white pictures, big band music, dancing... Hell, he can't even take his dates dancing anymore and even if he could, what the fuck is he supposed to talk to them about?

    "Hi, I'm Bucky, I know 42 ways to kill you with my bare hands, fancy a spin?"

    What kind of idiot would want to date that?

    Summary

    Bucky is a blogging barista.

    Steve is a sexy as sin superhero.

    Bucky may or may not have a crush, but you can't prove anything.

    At least, not unless you read his blog, which Cap obviously doesn't, right?

    Right...?!

    Summary

    Steve would do damn near anything to aid Bucky with his recovery, but when his friend calls for him in a panic, terrified by the existence of his own erection, he finds himself in a rather more awkward position than he might have expected.

    Still, he has no intention of letting his feelings get in the way of giving Bucky whatever help he may need, and if that means keeping his own desires firmly at bay while he teaches his best friend how to touch himself, then so be it. After all, it's not as if Bucky could ever return his feelings... right?

    Summary

    When Bucky accidentally stumbles across what is quite clearly Steve's private sketchbook, he doesn't know what to think. He feels terrible for having seen his best friend's best girl exposed in such a way, only Peggy isn't the only person featured in Steve's salacious sketches and seeing himself on those pages, with Peggy, with Steve, hell, with both of them at the same time... Well he may not know what to think, but his hand seems perfectly sure of what it should do...

    Of course, Bucky should have known better. Should have known that his friend would inevitably end up catching him with his pants around his ankles, but then, wasn't that how Steve wanted him...?

    Summary

    After everything Bucky has been through in his too long life, it seems especially cruel that even now, safe and sound in Steve's spare room, he still can't find the relief that he craves. Oh he's tried, of course. He's tried everything, but no matter what he does or how he does it he can't fucking come. Honestly this might just be one of the worst things Hydra ever did to him and they didn't even do it on purpose.

    So, as much as he hates to admit it, he knows he's going to need a little help if he's ever going to get past whatever psychological snares Hydra have left behind and who better to assist him than Captain America himself? Besides, Steve has always gone above and beyond when it comes to Bucky, so perhaps he won't mind too much if he's asked to lend a hand this time too...

    Summary

    There are more smiles and laughter and flashes that sound like bombs and Steve turns away from Peggy. He looks out into the hall once more, feeling small and completely alone, yet big and surrounded all at once. Everything is loud, loud, loud, and he suddenly craves his shield. But what is it he’s defending against? What is it he’s fighting for?

    What is he looking for?

    --

    An alternate take on Steve's nightmare in Avengers: Age of Ultron, because Joss Whedon is an idiot for not utilizing Bucky in that scene.

    Summary

    Bucky's dog tags were folded in the crease of the paper he'd torn from his journal, reading: "Steve, here. You have them, if you want them. You have me, if you want me. I’ve never tried loving a man before but for you I’ve run headfirst into wars and Death’s wide, gaping jaws, so this is easy in comparison. This is like breathing."

     


    It was so dark when Bucky handed him the note, the fire just burning out, and he glanced back only once to see Steve watching him as he walked away.

    Summary

    “Salutations, God of the Underworld! Let me stay in your realm!”

    The myth of Persephone’s kidnapping by Hades may have taken a few liberties. In fact, more than a few.

    In which Alastor, God of Spring, deigns to grace Lucifer, God of the Underworld, with his unwanted presence. And as depressed and lonely as he is, Lucifer is still not sure this is a good idea. For Man and Godkind, that is. Meanwhile, Alastor, hoping for some entertainment, finds more to do than he bargained for.

    “What if,” Barton said, “I offered to spare your men’s lives and your ship?”

     

    “I accept,” Bucky said, resigned to his fate. He dropped the sword and fell to his knees.

     

    “Excellent!” Barton said, and used the point of his sword to tip Bucky’s chin up and force him to meet his eyes. “What shall we do with you?”

     

    After his best friend and captain goes missing on the high seas, Bucky Barnes finds himself taken captive by an all too captivating pirate.

    Summary

    Bucky is a disabled vet struggling with reintegrating into civilian life. He has a routine and a rhythm, and he doesn't like to let anything - big or small - disrupt it. That all changes the day Bucky finds himself inside CATastrophe, the local pet rescue, recovering from a panic attack in the back room of the shop.

    He’s used to walking by the place, not visiting, but the next thing Bucky knows, he’s hanging signs and being used as a climbing tree for a bunch of freshly-acquired kittens. And he just...keeps going back. First for the kittens, then for the disaster shop owner who rescues actual kittens from actual trees and teaches archery as a side-gig, and eventually because he’s hopelessly in love.

    (Clint was in love before Bucky ever walked in the door.)

    Summary

    When Bucky leans into his touch, mouth slightly parted, and the tension in his body melts away beneath his fingers, it seems only natural to tip forwards too and meet him in the middle.

    ***

    They make out sometimes. They don’t talk about it. Clearly, this arrangement is perfect and won’t lead to any problems whatsoever. (5 Times Clint & Bucky made out in an emergency, and 1 time they didn’t.)

    Summary

    “What’s a guy like you doing in a place like this?” Clint says, instead.

     

    Barnes snorts. “Having a drink,” he says, then gives Clint another one of those appraising looks. “You a professional?” he says, after a second, and Clint is momentarily confused.

     

    A professional what?

     

    And then he realizes Barnes must be talking about pool, and Clint huffs a laugh. “Only when there’s money involved,” he says, smirking, and Barnes kind of nods, like that makes any sort of sense.

     

    Then Barnes nods again, a little more firmly, and says “You got a place?”

     

    Which is about the point that Clint realizes that he’s not meeting the Winter Soldier in a bar, he’s being picked up by the Winter Soldier in a bar and-

     

    “Yeah,” he croaks, clears his throat, thinks wildly that he’s really fucking glad Kate has Lucky for a few days, and says “Yeah, I got a place.”

     

    Or, how Bucky got his groove back.

    (And Clint too, but it was a different sort of groove)
