End of Year Stucky Recs [7/15]

Stucky as a fandom is lucky to have a lot of classics. But I want to give some love to authors who’ve kept writing fantastic stories over the last few years for us all to enjoy!

Title: with hearts so mangled

Author: apricotcake ​/ @khamori​

​Summary:

It's been ten years since the Blip and Bucky thinks he's doing pretty well for himself.

Until Steve shows up.

—

This is one of my favorite endgame fix-its though I don’t want to spoil the mechanisms of what happens. (What @khamori​ writes makes a hell of a lot more sense for time travel and Steve’s character arc.) I love this Bucky who is a survivor, who builds a life, who develops a strong interesting relationship with Sam that starts with comfort and grows into family. Plus this Steve hits that “ok, there’s my Steve” satisfaction of endgame corrected: stubborn, loyal, quietly empathetic, stoic but still vulnerable to being hurt by his people. And I really enjoyed the remote wintery setting. - B.

Apricot, Walnut and Lavender Cake.  アーモンドパウダーとくるみをパウダー状にしたものを入れたケーキ。おかげでしっとり。 ラベンダーの香りがアクセントに。  そして、この時期２週間程しかお店に出回らない(だいたい6月末〜7月頭くらい) 長野県産の生あんずも手に入れたのでトッピングに飾りました。  残りのあんずはジャムにしようかな？  serve!!!(召し上がれ)  #homemade #cake #apricot #apricotcake #thebakefeed #feedfeed #f52grams #mybaking #shareyourtable #bakefromscratch #onthetable #ourfoodstories #eattheworld #lifeandthyme #beautifulcuisines #cookmagazine #huffposttaste #mycommontable #あんず #手作りケーキ #おかし作り #お菓子作り好きな人と繋がりたい #おうちごはんlover #マカロニメイト #エルグルメ #フーディーテーブル  https://www.instagram.com/p/BzwMIxmAorC/?igshid=109izwrit90gw

Underrated stucky fics #3

Thanks everyone for your nominations. I'm working my way through them slowly. Feel free to keep them coming - see the intro post for more info on what's "underrated". Things I have learned so far are that Very Sad Stuff tends to be underrated, but also Very Soft Things. As a result this edition - a likely also future editions - will veer wildly between those two extremes. I'm still largely reccing things with very low hits/kudos at the moment to really shine a light into the back of the cupboard.

See Intro, #1 #2

The Olive Groves by AgentCoop, Teen

Stats: Published:2017-08-20 Completed:2017-08-20 Words:25001 Chapters:4/4 Comments:32 Kudos:66 Bookmarks:20 Hits:1536

Stuckyflangst commentary: Major Character Death. This story is very sad but very beautiful - the writing is a stunning demonstration of how much feeling can be captured in the narration of every day experience. And truly underrated into terms of kudos and hits. Bucky goes to war but Steve doesn't. The character studies are fantastic. The gulf between Steve's life remaining in Brooklyn and Bucky's at the front is drawn out without fanfare or drama. Perfection. It's sad, but it's worth it.

Told in four parts, this story encompasses a year in Steve and Bucky's life prior to Bucky's draft notice, his time on the Italian front, his life for the next five years as he tries to pick up the broken pieces of his shattered mental state and put everything back together,and his inevitable return to Brooklyn for Steve

we'll settle down (right here in town) by apricotcake, Series, Teen & Mature

Stats: (For first fic) Published:2021-06-24 Words:16159 Chapters:1/1 Comments:33 Kudos:172 Bookmarks:29 Hits:1727

Stuckyflangst commentary: So if the first fic made you sad, or sounded too sad to read, read this little series next. Just so much fluffy Steve and Bucky post winter soldier making a life together having nice things. First installment has a Vegas wedding, second installment has lots of Steve cooking, and third installment is christmas and holidays and baths. So soft.

Stuckyflangst commentary: Major Character Death. Ouch. Is my commentary. I read this on my MCD + unhappy ending tag binge and this is another one like a knife through the heart. Steve and Bucky both become winter soldiers. Like a brief, beautiful knife piercing through your heart. Only 3010 words and it's everything.

Stuckyflangst commentary: OMG this is so cute and soft. Steve is a dryad and his tree is dying and Bucky helps him. That's it. It's just gentle and sweet and has a happy ending.

hello :) I'm new to the fandom and I kinda want to read some canon-based fics to get familiar with fanfiction on general, so I was wondering if you know of any pre-war stucky fics you could rec to me that would make a good introduction into the ship? Thank you <33

Hello! Welcome to the fandom :)

So, I want to preface this by saying that I do not read a lot of prewar Stucky fics (my own personal preference is for post-Captain America: The Winter Soldier fics). But I can say that I do recommend the following:

The Long Road That Leads Me Home series by apricotcake: it's told in the second person from Bucky's perspective from 1925 up until post-Winter Soldier

Gravitation by Odsbodkins: starts pre-war and ends in the middle of The First Avenger

How We Are Hungry by liketheroad: it starts out pre-war and ends post-Winter Soldier

If you want to find more prewar fics, I would recommend looking through this AO3 search (Stucky fics with the "Pre-War" tag sorted by Kudos) or this one (Stucky fics with the "Pre-Captain America: The First Avenger" tag sorted by Kudos). You can also look through the prewar tag of @stuckylibrary or send their mods an ask for recommendations.

My current fic rec list is pinned to the top of my blog (but like I said, there aren't many completely prewar fics there). If you have any other questions about Stucky fics, or the fandom in general, let me know!
