This isn’t something that happens to Steve. Sure, he sees people he finds attractive, and sometimes he happens to find people attractive that make him angry, but never has he met someone and just felt the overwhelming urge to shut him up. With his cock.
Adult, modern-day military AU. Bucky is an insolent little shit, and Steve knows just how to deal with that. Oh holy fuck, this is just the hottest thing ever!
You think only having four-and-a-half months is bad, but at least then you’ll have oblivion. I’ve got four-and-a-half months until my whole fucking universe ceases to exist.
Adult, post-canon. I only watched “House” until about season 4, but re-watching the pilot made me curious to see how it ended, which then made me want to read House/Wilson road trip fic. And this one’s brilliant.
Nice tribute to the 3 archangels we’ve met so far – love the song choice! Music: God’s Gonna Cut You Down, by Johnny Cash.
They wed her to a man whose name she cannot pronounce.
Teen, Drypetis POV. I love outsider’s perspectives and have always been curious what Hephaestion’s Persian princess might have thought of him. This is lovely!
And to this boy he had to leave Alexander, and trust that he would be kept safe and sane and convinced that he bled red blood and that sorrow for a beloved friend shamed him not at all. Already—always—he was too inclined to disappear behind the mask, become hero, king, Achilles, Son of Ammon, Great King, inviolate and inhuman, and to keep him simply golden Alexander whose hands grasped so greedily at the unknown had been the work of too many years to let Persian hands daintily unpick his many patched-over attempts at field-surgery.
Hephaestion POV after Cleitus’ murder, this captures Renault’s style, making this feel like a bitter-sweet glimpse into the General’s mind.
Bucky finds the other costume not long after they get back from Europe. He’s joking around – “Where the hell did you get my costume in that size, anyway? I’ve grown like a foot since I was sixteen, I know that wasn’t the old one. What else are you hiding?”
Adult, comic!verse, uniform kink. I have a secret love for comic!Bucky/Steve, and this is funny as well as hot like burning, a winning combo!
“Bucky,” He says again, still sounding dazed as you stop and stare at the scars from bullets you drove into him. You look up and he puts a hand on eight days growth on your chin. He’s trembling slightly. You both sit there, before his nostrils flare in a tell tale way. He might cry. Christ, you’re going to make him cry. That’s almost worse than shooting him. “You’re here.”
Of course you’re here. Who does he think has been making the place secure, making his meals and executing HYDRA agents? He must be impressively concussed.
Mature, post-WS trauma. This Bucky makes my heart cry. He’s fumbling his way through the dark, Steve his only constant, even when he doesn’t understand anything else.
It took her a second to understand what she was seeing, to draw the right conclusion from it, and then she felt both angry and ashamed. Small wonder he didn’t like her.
She was the competition.
Adult, polyamory. Peggy realises some things – and because she’s Peggy, she then does something about it. Totally in character, this could easily be outtakes. Even the modern-day epilogue warmed my heart.
ARE YOU FKN KIDDING ME WHY WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS
Shit, my heart! As if Steve wasn’t already messed up enough at the beginning of WS…
“I would raze the planet before I allowed anyone to lay a hand on you. If I have to personally kill every Hydra agent with my bare hands or shoot anyone who tries to bring you in, even a friend, so be it.”
Adult, NOT fluff. I came for the title and stayed for the characterisations. Steve and Bucky are both creatures of violence.
