hi :3 i was wondering if you could rec some of your personal favorites? stucky fics or maybe underrated stucky writers? i feel like I’ve read all the big popular fics and i crave new unexplored material.

Hey!

Honestly, a lot of the individual stucky fics I could rec have a high chance of being repeats if you've been around here long enough lol. I write much, much more than I read. Also, then, when I do read, I find myself reading the same fics over and over again because it's I know they'll be good haha. Oops?

So, I don't know how off the beaten path these fics will be, but...

Anyway, in no particular order, have some smutty recs for stucky (be sure to check the tags!)-

FAVORITE STUCKY FICS | 17/100

Coming Home For Christmas by @chiyume

[Christmas fic, 118 279 words, Explicit]

Summary:

Steve Rogers is a good man. His friends have told him so on numerous occasions, but this might actually be more bordering on "stupid" rather than "kind". Because what else would you describe the act of inviting a complete stranger - and thief - into your home over the Holidays? Steve isn't quite sure what to call it himself, but fact is that when it comes to the case of Bucky Barnes, Steve's actually pretty okay with being referred to as an idiot, as long as it keep the other man safe. And to Steve's defence, it had all started out with such good intentions...

more fics

[anths-girl]

So...I haven't had to do this in YEARS (was hoping I'd never HAVE to, again, either...), but...here I am, BEGGING.

I know basically EVERYONE is struggling financially, these days. The world is a complicated, shitty place, and we're all in some kind of trouble. However, I am in VERY DESPERATE trouble. Or rather, my family is.

My mother (76), has been severely ill for months. The last few weeks it has gotten very, VERY bad. She can't eat at ALL. Some days she can barely take a drink of water, without getting sick. We live in South-Africa, and we are dependent on social grants - social welfare, basically. As such, we are also dependant on public health care.

Now, to try and describe the state of said public health care...well, let me just say, there aren't enough trigger warnings in the GALAXY, for that. To compare it to mid evil torture, would be being kind. And I'm saying this as someone who has LIVED it, witnessed it, several times. Most people choose to rather just go without medical help, and die at home, rather than go to any of these "facilities."

BUT... I'm not ready to let my mom die at home. I'm not ready to let her go. So, we bit the bullet, and went to a private hospital. The thing is, we have no idea how long we can stay here, because I am draining what very little savings I have as we speak, just having gotten her here in the first place. And we aren't even close to any kind of diagnosis or anything, yet. We might not be able to afford any actual testing she needs to get done.

So...here I am, BEGGING. Guys, every cent counts. ANY dollar that ANYONE has to spare, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, help us out. Again, I don't even care if it's one dollar from a few people. Literally ANYTHING would help, right now.

And if you can't donate, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!!!!! I'm going to tag just about everyone on my friend's list, and I ask all of you, AGAIN, even if you can't give anything, just PLEASE help me spread the word, somehow.

Love to all of you, and peace and health to you all!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

PayPal Link: paypal.me/anthsgirl

Tagging for sharing purposes!!! HELP SPREAD IT, GUYS!!!!! Or, if you can help...please do!!!!

Card # R40101 | Square filled - B4 | AU: Lawyer

Title ⊳ Innocent Until

Author ⊳ L1av

Pairing ⊳ James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers

Rating ⊳Explicit

Word Count ⊳138K

Major Tags ⊳ Lawyer!Bucky, BDSM, Kink, Mutual Pining, Hurt/Comfort, Secret Relationship

Summary ⊳ Bucky Barnes made a name for himself as the attorney who could get anyone off, but he still lives by the saying, "Innocent until proven guilty." Steve Rogers finds himself on trial for multiple homicides but he swears he was only trying to protect a girl. Bucky's been in this business long enough to know when someone's innocent, and Steve is innocent. Steve already feels like a monster and Bucky's worried this guy's going to lay himself on the sword come his trial. So Bucky offers up another course for punishment:

Turns out, chains and whips really excite Steve.

Commentary ⊳ The moral dilemma of a taboo relationship between attorney and client is pushed to the limits in this emotional whirlwind. It explores the start of a complicated relationship based on trust that, with tensions and compatibility so off the fucking charts, it left me screaming and crying for a happy outcome—and for Steve to be proven innocent.

Title ⊳ A Hard Case of You

Author ⊳ @chiyume

Pairing ⊳ James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers

Rating ⊳ Explicit

Word Count ⊳21K

Major Tags ⊳Mechanic!Steve, Lawyer!Bucky, Strangers To Lovers, First Meetings, Homophobic Language, Happy Ending

Summary ⊳ James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, seasoned lawyer at Shield Legal Services, New York City office, is in a bad mood.

He’s driving down the I-90 from Buffalo in his sleek black company car, AC running on cool to keep the air from growing stuffy. He’s got his jaw set in that particular way he knows will cause him a major headache in a few hours, but right now the last thing on his mind is his own future discomfort.

In which Bucky's car breaks down when he's already feeling his worst, and he's forced to seek help from whatever's nearby. Luckily, Rogers' Auto Repair isn't too far away, and everyone seems very enthusiastic about recommending the place. But when Bucky gets there, he has a hard time seeing the professional the whole town's been speaking of so fondly...

Commentary ⊳ Bucky being stranded with only mechanic Steve who can help. Ahhhhhhh. Two idiots and the fun use of tropes.

Title ⊳ Sweet Sugar

Author ⊳ this_wayward_life

Pairing ⊳ James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers

Rating ⊳ Explicit

Word Count ⊳ 8K

Major Tags ⊳ Lawyer!Bucky, Student!Steve, Age Difference, Sugar Daddy Bucky Barnes, Meet-Cute

Summary ⊳ This is not Bucky's scene.

Truthfully, most social situations aren't his scene, but particularly this one. He's closer to forty than thirty-five these days, and spending time in an overcrowded bar whose population tends to fall towards the early twenties side of the age scale is not something he particularly enjoys. If it was up to Bucky, he'd be spending his Friday night either in his office catching up on the Martinelli case or half-asleep on the couch, re-watching Criminal Minds and snuggling with his cat.

But, since Bucky sold his soul over to the Devil in sophomore year of law school when he made friends with one Natasha Romanoff, he's here, stuffed into a shirt that is a bit too tight around his midsection and jeans that he can barely sit down in.

Commentary ⊳ College jock Steve pursuing grumpy Bucky, and Bucky accidentally acquires a sugar baby. Also—BOTTOM DADDY BUCKY makes me feral.

Abruptly terminated from his all-encompassing job at Sandover Bridge & Iron, company man Dean Smith makes a spur of the moment decision to embark on a cross-country roadtrip to "find himself."

The hell with it, Dean's tired of playing by the rules, and playing alone. Little does he know, Castiel may be just what he needs.

Castiel hated public showers. In which Castiel is forced to use the company shower after hours and ends up doing unspeakable things he never thought himself capable of... AU-fic containing mystery attractions and a lot of hot water.

If These Wings Should Fail Me by narrow_staircases [Mature, 35k words]

Some days, Castiel wonders if he should never have healed Dean at all. Because now Dean has nothing to wrestle with, no physical pain to nurse, no slowly-mending fractured ribs to remind him that his brother and his sacrifice were real, that Sam Winchester saved the world and that Dean was a part of that fight. He's a blank slate, and it's Castiel's fault. Without pain to ground him, center him, do whatever it is that pain has done for Dean Winchester his entire life, he erodes, steadily and quietly, until Castiel no longer recognizes him, and has no one to blame for his loss but himself. In which they stopped the Apocalypse, but Dean is steadily falling apart after losing his brother, and Castiel is doing everything in his power to try to get them back on a path to normal.

Last One Out Hits The Lights by entanglednow [Explicit, 37k words]

After they stop a plot to tear open a hole straight to hell, the Winchesters face more trouble when zombies start rising from their graves across the country. Bobby calls all hands on deck and Sam and Dean, along with an angel, a mess of out-numbered hunters, and a very reluctant prophet of the Lord, have to try and save the world. Or go down in flames with it.

Light Me Up by tricia_16 [Explicit, 195k words]

Five years after participating in a life-changing threesome with his then-girlfriend and her friend Cas, Dean's single, comfortably bisexual, and has everything he's ever wanted except for that special someone to share his life with. When tragedy strikes, he and Cas are reunited in an unexpected way, and a split-second decision entangles their lives in ways neither of them could have predicted...

Look Homeward, Angel by sirkay [Mature, 108k words]

Dean is twenty-five and thinks he's going to spend the rest of his life exactly where he is: working in his dad's auto shop, estranged from his brother, trying to make up for the mistakes he made as a teenager. That is until his mom leaves without a word, and he drives to California to escape his problems and reconnect with Sam. Mary Winchester finally does what she should have done years ago: she leaves John. Traveling cross-country, she encounters people who help her learn things about herself she would have never thought possible. The one thing she can't bring herself to do is call her sons. When Dean's impromptu road trip crashes and burns, a mysterious stranger in a trench coat pulls him up from rock bottom and launches him on a path that will force him-- and everyone in his life-- to face the things they've been hiding from. (And they might just have some fun along the way).

My Eyes Are An Ocean by entanglednow [Explicit, 10k words]

It's amazing what you decide you can get away with when you can't see a damn thing.

Ninety One Whiskey by komodobits [Explicit, 401k words]

In the spring of 1944, the 104th Medical Battalion of the United States Army is disbanded, and its men reassigned to various infantry companies in preparation for their invasion of occupied France. For First Lieutenant Novak, this is less than helpful, as he has so far met his platoon’s designated medic a grand total of twice, and has both times found Sergeant Winchester to be the optimum combination of reckless, arrogant, and downright insufferable so as to make cohesive platoon function near impossible. When the time comes to move out, however, Castiel has to reconcile himself to the fact that men are going to go down and trust that Dean Winchester may well be the only person who can put them back together again. WW2 ETO infantry AU.

Our sweet rapture by Chiyume (189k words)

It was the first longfic i ever read and i was absolutely floored and stunned, it literally rewired my brain, it was so well written and structured, and the characterization was perfect. I kept thinking i needed this fic tattooed into my brain.
