Through a dark night, without a sunrise, love will tell us where to go, by LunaCanisLupus_22

The truth is this: he knows that this life is a lie. 

There are too many gaps to fall into, too many things he can’t know but will know, too many reasons for this false world to fall apart.

But it is easier. That much is true. 

For now, the lie is enough.

Adult, amnesia!fic, WIP. Jay begins a new life after apparently losing his memory in an accident. But things don’t add up – and then there’s Captain America… 

This isn’t finished yet, but oh, the first chapter alone is already so amazing!

Restless knots to untie, by Claudia_flies

Bucky jolts awake. His legs are tangled in a maroon coloured duvet. He is lying in the middle of a large king bed, surrounded by pillows in matching maroon pillowcases. He is warm, but there is a part of him, deep in his gut that is still cold. 

There are no dreams in cryo.

Adult, post-Civil War. This fixes most things I wasn’t happy with in CW, i.e. it adds some lovely depth to Steve & Bucky’s relationship. Also, shared dreaming, which is catnip.

This vid is unashamed eye candy. *grabby hands* Music by Jason Derulo.

“Naw,” Steve says, “this is a fairytale, not Greek tragedy, you haven’t died yet. Just a little curse, is all. You know what you’ve gotta do?“ 

"What we’ve gotta do,” Bucky agrees, “it is a Gordian knot, and I know what to do with those. And you were wrong about one thing." 

"Was I?” Steve smiles, and Bucky nods. 

“You know my name,” he says, looks at Steve, because he can’t look away, “it was always gonna be you, Steve.”

Teen, post-Civil War. There’s truth in dreams, even (or especially) the fairy tale ones… This is the story of how Bucky wakes up. I heart this fic so much!

Warning Shot, by togina

The rifle was still set up, on the roof of a building five blocks away. It was one of the ones they’d confiscated from the secret basement in the embassy earlier, Soviet made. There were no other marks, and Steve knew there would be no fingerprints. When he stretched out to look through the sight, he found himself staring at Sharon’s chair. Warning shot, Steve thought, and packed up the gun. When he got to the hospital, Sharon asked him why he was smiling.

Mature, D/s. The Winter Soldier shows his disapproval of Steve’s attempts at dating in some quite fucked up ways. Good thing Steve likes that kind of fucked up. (Background Natasha/Sam, Steve/others.)

I Want You (To Belong To Me), by bedroom_stars

The Soldier does not want to share Steve with anybody.

He doesn’t want to share Steve with the Falcon who has kind eyes and speaks gentle words and treats the Soldier like a person even though he is not a person. He doesn’t want to share Steve with the Widow who he both knows and does not know, both trusts and does not trust.

The Soldier doesn’t want to share Steve with Bucky fucking Barnes.

Teen, post-WS. I’ve got a weak spot for possessiveness, and the way the Soldier is even jealous of his previous self… This owns my heart.

ETA: Sadly the fic has been deleted.

Enemies Foreign and Domestic, by romanticalgirl

Steve leans against the wall and watches him. He can feel a familiar twist of desire in his gut. Bucky grew up really well, and Steve’s only human. He pushes the feeling away, because pushing it down would only send it directly to his groin, and that’s the last thing he wants. DADT has been repealed, but Bucky’s his job. His mission. And Steve can still see a ghost of the kid he’d been in his face. “I’ll be with you when you go out. I’ll be close by for when you sneak out.”

Adult, AU. In which Bucky’s the President’s son and Steve’s his bodyguard. Also, his former babysitter. This is an awesome mix of action and, ahem, action… 😉

kaasknot:

“Thank you for purchasing a StarkTech Companion ‘Bot! Please state your name for licensing.”

Bucky is a severely agoraphobic combat veteran, and Steve is the android he buys out of loneliness.

Wherein loose ends are rounded up and brought to a close.

(This fic is complete. Chapter 1 is here)

Adult, AU. This is amazing – love how their relationship develops and how different yet the same their characters are…

Gather Ye Rosebuds, by LavenderProse

“Because, Bucky! Because—you really wanna know? It’s because we’re fucking. We’re fucking and I can’t fuck you and live with you and hang out with you all the time because then it’s too much like a relationship and I just—I can’t right now, okay? I need a relationship like a need a hole in the head and we’ll just both be miserable.”

Adult, AU, trans!Steve/Jewish!Bucky. In which Steve & Bucky are childhood best-friends-with-benefits – but Bucky would like it to be so much more… Unfortunately, Steve isn’t cooperating. This is emotionally satisfying and sexy as hell – and I love how it deals with Steve’s trans identity (i.e. carefully, without making it an Issue). My only criticism is that Steve’s a bit of an ass to poor Bucky.
