The Sun & The Star, by greenbergsays
This is the way things are done, the way they have always been done. There is dark and cold and emptiness and then there is the voice of his beloved – zvezdochka – calling to him. He opens his eyes to the only face worth remembering, to gentle hands on his bare body trying to drive away the cold.
This is the way things are done.
Teen, AU. Short and darkly evocative, this paints a very different picture of Steve and Bucky.
A Home at the End of the World, by desert_coffin
After the fact, Jonas will think he had known all along.
Adult, canon-divergence. I’m all for Isak/Even, but I’ve got such a soft spot for Jonas, and this is lovely!
ROGERS: An American Musical, by HopeNight
So here’s the real question: How does a half-dead orphan born in the middle of a forgotten spot in the tenements of New York without a father and raised by a single mother grow up to be the first and only super soldier?
Teen, AU. Lin-Manuel Miranda writes the latest great American musical – it’s not about Hamilton. This is genius, for real.
Change is Hard (and Harder, so much Harder), by dogtagsandsmut
“Steve,” the strange man says. “I – Buck, it’s Steve.”
“Nice try, you Nazi piece of shit.” You’re reeling but you shove him away as hard as you can. “Steve’s my wife.”
Adult, AU. What if Steve had been born Stella Rogers? Seriously, this is so amazing!
Steve has a fuckin’ swear jar. A swear jar.
It’s the most ludicrous thing Bucky’s ever heard in his life. They never had a swear jar; they didn’t have enough money for a fuckin’ swear jar. Every damn dime they had wouldda gone into it.
Teen, humour. I love troll!Steve fics, and these two are golden.
Bucky gets on a Manhattan bound train around 2:30, heading to 8th St. He watches the Lady far off on Liberty Island as they roll over the East River. The train is crowded and people smile at him, pleased to see a handsome young man in uniform. He smiles back, pleased with the world and everything in it. He wonders where Steve might want to go for lunch. What he’d say if Bucky asked him if he’d ever thought about treating this thing between them as real.
He comes out of the subway a little before 3 o’clock, and the world has changed.
Mature, pre-war. The texture and depth of this… Breathtaking.
Magnus had been getting Alec to do a lot of things he had never done before, and it was just really starting to piss Jace off. Not because he didn’t want Alec to try new things or be happy or to have a healthy sex life (well, maybe not that part, because – well – that was just too confusing to get into)… He just wished that Alec had been able to open up to him all these years instead.
Jealousy. Great.
Adult, voyeurism. Jace sees a bit more than he’d bargained for… This is funny and seriously sizzling.
Gorgeous – I love these boys! The ups and downs of a complicated first love… and I’m not talking about the murder thing. Music by Tamer.
Bucky used to be an avid reader, before the war. Now he gets distracted real easy.
James Barnes keeps forgetting that he can’t remember.
G, angst. Like, seriously, this might just be the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever read.
“Yesterday.” Wilson looks washed out and Bucky’s heart kinda goes out to the guy. It’s his first time dealing with Steve dying. God knows Bucky wasn’t calm his first time.
Mature, post-CW, zombie!fic. Yep, that’s right, Steve Rogers is a zombie… I love stories where the boys do anything for each other, and selling your soul definitely counts! 🙂
