One Unknowable Thing, by Destina

Dick had pressed his fingertips against Nix’s throat and held them there until some warmth bled from his fingertips back into Nix’s frozen skin. His pulse beat steadily against Dick’s hand, an echo caught and tapped back.

M, angsty Nix POV. This just about breaks my heart. Bittersweet, with all the sweet courtesy of Dick Winters, of course.

Brand You with an Inked Stamp, by Shoshanna Gold

“All right. So let’s assume that one’s secretary is both attractive and willing. Would her boss just throw her over his desk, unbutton, and have his wanton way with her?“ 

 Nix choked on his brandy. "God, Dick. Don’t do that!" 

"Don’t throw you over my desk, or don’t talk about it?”

Mature, established relationship. Nix helps Dick break in his new office the right way. This is delicious!

This… should not work, except that it does. A 100% angst-free, smile-inducing look at Winters & Nixon and their epic love. 🙂 Song performed by Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried.

Sway through the crowd to an empty space, by lanyon

(They slept and not even together. They slept and read and Cap sketched and Barnes practised tai chi. Stark is disgusted.)

G, canon divergence. 5 tropes that didn’t make them get together, and 1 that did. Made me smile like a loon. Mutual respect.

Right in the feels, this one’s a beautiful angst fest. Awesome use of non-source material. Music by Message To Bears.

Adult, pornstar AU. This is just plain sexyfuntimes. Also, hawt, because those boys have chemistry, no matter in which universe they meet. 😉

I surrender honestly. You’ve always done the same for me. […] I’ll love you long after you’re gone. 

This song is perfection, and the vid matches it beautifully. Music by Phillip Phillips.

What Would Have Happened, by DevBasaa

But, try as he might, Bucky couldn’t sleep. He could only think of the previous dream, and of the pain he’d likely have felt while standing up at the altar with Steve as he married Peggy. He wished Steve hadn’t found the thought of their respective marriages so endearing.

After a moment, though, Steve closed the book again. He rested it on his lap and said. “But I don’t think that would have been it.”

Adult, post-WS. Love this peek at what might have been if Bucky hadn’t fallen and Steve hadn’t crashed – and since it’s a dream, there’s no icky cheating issue. The stand-alone companion piece about Paris is awesome, too.
