Steve Rogers knows from day one that Bucky Barnes is not his soulmate.
The asset knows from the first glimpse that the man on the roof is his.
Soulmark!AU. This is beautiful, a different take on Bucky and Steve as soulmates.

Report from the Rim, by Carolyn Spencer
Spock takes off that cloak. Careful. Slow. Puts it around the other one. And now I know who he’s been saving it for. He don’t say nothing, but his whole body changes. He’s taller somehow. Straighter. I’m more used to reading his face now than I was, and there’s joy now in his eyes. You don’t see that in the Pit, Federatti. Not ever.
Adult, warnings for prison setting (mentions of rape, violence). This is an outside POV unlike any other I’ve read – harsh and violent, but the relationship between Spock and Kirk shines all the brighter for the dark.
The Wind to the Lake, by fresne
Jonathan felt as exposed as a mountain peak, while David’s face was the lake that gave nothing back but the empty blue of the sky. He felt spun around by David. Though he was the prince and a man grown, and David was just a shepherd boy. Jonathan was the one mastered.
David laughed. “If one of us is a lake, it is you. While I am the wind, the Lord sends to the lake and the mountain.”
Adult, somewhat AU. David as Jonathan’s armour bearer (pre-Goliath) – Jonathan might be the prince, but David is wily and knows exactly what to do. This manages to tweak the biblical story perfectly while painting a beautiful picture of their relationship.
At last (2016)
Third and last artwork of the evening devoted to Civil War (sorry about the CW spam), after this one devoted to the first post-credit scene (Steve and Bucky) and this one showing Tony at the end of the movie.
This is totally how the parking scene went. *cough* Yup, I’m 100% positive. (Photoshop CS6)
Gorgeous! So very much this. 🙂
For the record, I like Sharon, I really do, but that kiss was so OOC for Steve and the timing was all wrong.
The Devil Made Me Do It, by knucklewhite
Lucifer lets the fire of hell swallow his pupils, tinting his vision until the room is painted in shades of red, until Amenadiel’s true form shifts into view, almost painfully bright, and so painfully beautiful.
“Tell me, brother,” Lucifer croons. “What is it that you most desire? What do you desire above all else?”
Adult, angel!slash. Lucifer does what he was made to do – tempt an angel to fall… This is gorgeous.
Vid: Love You Like the Movies, by Beryl King
In some places I love the idea more than the editing (or the musical choice), but OH, I do love the idea… Steve & Bucky in the great tradition of couples in romantic movies are too perfect for words. 🙂 Music by Anthem Lights.

Vid: Blue Blood, by xbreathofmadness
A modern day!AU – there’s a lot of fic like this out there, which is not usually my cup of tea. But this vid is just so well done, it manages to tell the story beautifully. Music by Laurel.

Vid: BROKEBACK TWILIGHT TRAILER, by brokebacktwilight
I’m very late to the party, but this just cracked me up – and the editing is flawless! Music from the Brokeback Mountain trailer.

songs of jonathan, by straddling_the_atmosphere
Jack looks startled when David appears in his room that night. I didn’t think I was going to dream you tonight.
Teen, post-series. David fights, and dreams, of people he’s lost – of Jack, trapped in a tower… Poetic and haunting, this fic uses the Song of Solomon and the biblical David & Jonathan to great effect.
like a slave to your touch, by coffeeinallcaps
Harry’s fingertips graze Eggsy’s neck, and that’s when Eggsy feels it–a sudden, intense yearning roiling somewhere deep within him, like a chasm opening up at his core. The feeling hits him like a punch to the gut, so hard and so unexpected that he’s sure his knees would’ve given out if he’d been standing.
Adult, a bit of D/s, Harry lives!AU. This hits so many of my buttons while managing to remain utterly true to the characters.
