Thawed Out, by auburnnothenna & eretria

James had been undecided, even as he formulated different plans to approach the Captain. The man thought James was someone else, was James Buchanan Barnes, his ‘Bucky’, and James wasn’t.

Adult, post-WS, angst, slow burn. I’m starting to develop a taste for fic where the Winter Soldier never returns to being Bucky Barnes, as well as fic where Steve and Bucky were never lovers but Steve and James turn out to be. 

This story is both, as well as an incredibly satisfying (if necessarily angst-laden and at times heartbreaking) look at the long, slow road of recovery from trauma as horrific as James’. And of course Steve himself is far from undamaged himself and has to deal with everything he lost. Plus there are the other people in their lives and the different kinds of relationships that develop in very believable ways. 

But through it all, the connection between them is constant, a thing of beauty, and when they’re finally ready to fall in love, it’s well worth the wait..

The Sun Will Rise, by perclexed

As the author describes it:

We hang a sharp left to Angstville right after the climactic events at the hospital in the episode Falling Darkness.

A little farther down that road is the mecca of Pornville, population 3.

Adult, hurt/comfort, polyamory. Hits all the emotional notes as well as having smoking hot sexing in the second part. *fans self*

I’d Gladly Lose Me To Find You, by Flawedamythyst

“I, Sam Winchester, take a vow of silence in exchange for the body, breath, life and soul of Dean Winchester.”

Adult, incest, canon divergence. Stunning, gut-wrenching fic. Sam’s silence and the effects of his sacrifice on himself as well as his relationship with the returned Dean is described in beautiful words.

Even as a die-hard Steve/Bucky shipper, I can agree with the rest of fandom that it’s possible to ship Steve Rogers with just about everyone. This had me in stitches – because really, everybody needs a piece of that oh so fine, star-spangled ass… 🙂 Music: Gold Trans Am, by Ke$ha.

Cold Shower, by callay

Will’s trying to get his bearings, pulse racing. “Were you just – “ he starts, and then he knows the answer.

Because suddenly he’s with Lito, in his expansive, steam-clouded shower. And Lito’s with Hernando.

Adult, pwp. I love fic in which Will gets to experience gay sex, courtesy of his clustermates – and here it’s shower sex, with Lito & Hernando… Yum!

OMG, holy shit, so this vidder actually created his own special effects, making it possible for the Doctor and Sherlock to actually interact – in the TARDIS!
