i pray that one of our gay stevebucky warriors gets in a position of influence in marvel and rewrites their dynamic to be like mcu except if mcu actually followed thru properly with stucky's relationship. imagine all the Howlies-era team comics they could make w that 💖 or a WS run where they include the scene of Steve and Bucky going to the museum at the end together like in the earlier drafts of CATWS 😌 or comics of them on the run from the law together🔥 there's so many possibilities
yes!!!and to add more: wish we could have little treats of stevebucky in the mcu canon, but not just in the movies, bits of fun facts about their life together in some prequal comic and a random fact being throw at some mcu show, rather than steve's sexual life being discussed by strangers 😭

Hello I'm looking for a fic please, it was a Oneshot, ABO, with OmegaBucky who is gonna start his heat in Wakanda, so Shuri calls Steve.He is worried bc Buck didnt call him but remembers his kiss with Sharon, so he explains Buck that kiss was just to make him jeaous, that he is the only 1 he loves. So they spend the heat together. In the epilogue Steve smells Buck & founds he's pregnant. I think it was just recently deleted or something bc it was in my bookmarks but its no there no more.

this is such a long shot but 3 yrs ago, i got a tattoo in russian saying принадлежать, or “to belong”. its from a fic (tws era) i read where tony snarkily asks a recently un-brainwashed, still very traumatised bucky sth like “what would YOU know about desire, what do you want most in life then?” & bucky says “to belong” in russian (then dramatically exits). i couldnt find the fic anymore for the exact phrase when i was getting tatted. if anyone can, ill be forever indebted. lots of love.

Hey! I’m looking for a modern au fic. This might be a long shot, since I don’t remember much else from the fic. But there was a scene where Bucky and Rumlow were exes and Rumlow had Bucky’s cat so they snuck into his apartment to get it back.
Anonymous 6 asked:
Hey! There’s a fic I’m looking for, it’s was pre war,& Bucky & Steve were pining after each other. Repressed feelings& all that. I can only remember one scene from it. Bucky had a date with a girl& they went back to her place to hook up, & I vividly remember she said “we can have sex but you ain’t going in the front door” so they did anal, & Bucky was like wow okay. & then while having sex w her he was like holy shit I could do this with Steve 👀 & then couldn’t think straight around Steve after
Anonymous 7 asked:

Anonymous 8 asked:
I'm looking for a fic where Bucky works at a hospital (maybe mount sinai, ny?) while Steve is in the army. They used to be either together or even married but then they broke up because Steve had re-enlisted without even telling Bucky (who found out about it a few days before Steve had to leave again maybe?) and in the end they get back together. xxxx
Anonymous 9 asked:
first: thank you for all the work you do with this blog! second: i'm looking for a fic but i don't remember much at all so it might be too vague. 1) steve and bucky become guardians of natasha 2) possibly a "both are winter soldier" situation or something, i think they saved nat from red room, and they go on missions 3) i think they pretend they're "normal" but natasha knows they're not? (at least some of it is natasha pov) hope you can help!

Do you have any idea what I’m talking about lol?

rosegoldyves asked: /others
hi, so I’ve been looking for a long time but couldn’t find the fic where Bucky finds stucky fanfic and starts considering a relationship with Steve but Steve takes time warming up. They move to a house together but their relationship seems to go nowhere since Steve is hesitant to reciprocate so Bucky starts seeing this other guy. Sorry if I am bungling up the premise.
ohmyshax asked:
Hi there! I need help finding a fic -- I've tried so many searches on AO3, using different search parameters, but no luck. It's a short WW2 oneshot. Outsider POV (didn't see it in your tags tho) of a soldier freaking out when his Sergeant (Bucky) disagrees with a visiting Captain America. He later finds out, after the others arrive, that Bucky is part of the Howlies, and that he was only there to train the POV character to take over as sergeant. Hope you know it. Thank you for the help!

SamBucky opinions & things...
I’m not going to say who people should ship as it’s everyone’s own opinions and it’s a tv show/film series so it’s not like this is the most important thing on the planet... That said, I’ve seen a few posts from Stucky people who say they actively want to understand what SamBucky shippers see in the pairing and since I’m gone on these two, here are some thoughts... 
If you take a long view-- which the MCU is having you do now because these characters are outlasting Steve Rogers in its canon-- Steve & Bucky, while fun to play with and full of a lot of really great yearning/angsty possibilities back in the day, are really just the formative chapters of Sam & Bucky’s romance. If we got more Sam flashbacks in the story-- and I really hope we do in his canon in the wake of the end of TFATWS (S1?)/CA4-- a Sam & Riley story would be the equivalent to The First Avenger, in terms of it sets up some backstory that leads to where the story is going, as opposed to is the entire story itself. 
A main factor for me in liking Sam & Bucky over Bucky & Steve is that Sam is a healthy, mature choice for Bucky-- a guy who has gone through a hell of a lot here and deserves all the good things-- whereas Steve, while not a bad man, is a regressive choice. It stems from the fact that Steve was never really comfortable with Bucky’s sexuality-- at least not when it mattered-- and that’s because Steve was not comfortable with his own... or much of anything about himself. This still wouldn’t matter so much in terms of who to ship Bucky with if it weren’t also for the fact that Bucky is perfect *for Sam*, who should get all the good things, and we’ll get into that a bit more below. Have to do Steve & Bucky first because chronology and also because that’s the other ship in question here, really. (Sorry, SteveSam people like if you are asking for stuff too and anyone cares, I don’t think I have enough for a whole meta post on why it’s kinda blah, if full of cute friendship moments, but I touch on it a bit further below.)
The entire plot of The First Avenger is about how Steve is obsessed with being Mr. America 1940-- and how he gets to that point is understandable. He was born with a ton of heart, a truly good man, but he’s small and sickly and he doesn’t love himself. He lacks confidence in himself because he holds himself up to a standard of masculinity put forth by a country on the brink of war-- and then, at war-- as physically strong and very, very straight. 
While Steve is desperate to change how he looks, Bucky hides behind how he looks. Steve might look at Bucky and see a lot of what he wishes he was-- the good-looking soldier with a dame on each arm-- but at some point, he becomes aware of how Bucky is playacting. He’s not as he appears to be. He’s a man trying to survive a world that does not accept him and working to pass in that society, all the while with an eye to the World of Tomorrow. Not just the technology that grips his imagination but the idea that things could improve, things could change and he’ll fight for America because he, like Steve and later, Sam, believes in it but while Steve worships it, Bucky can love it while looking at it critically. It’s not built for men like him. 
Steve never fully understands this because while Bucky is trying to show him some of the World of Tomorrow, he’s off making plans to get injected with super serum to fill in the gaps of what he feels he needs to become the man he is supposed to be. 
The key difference between them is that Steve will do anything to be that man-- and that includes shoving any potential feelings he has for Bucky so deep that he won’t even acknowledge them (if he has them at all). Bucky, on the other hand, even in 1940, had more strength. He wasn’t as tormented by who he was. I’m sure he had some of it at some point but by the time we meet him in the movies, he’s fine with who he is, even if the country he serves and the society in which he lives is not. He could basically give af. He doesn’t think in the ‘40s that he’s going to live to see an America that will ever really accept him and he fights for it anyway because Mr. America is really, fundamentally, more Captain America than The OG Captain America. 
Steve is not a bad man by any stretch of the imagination but it’s clear that, at some point, he began to understand that Bucky liked men and while he didn’t do anything horrible about it-- like have Bucky arrested or told anyone else, both of which could have destroyed Bucky’s life at that time-- he never completely approved of it, either. Guaranteed he told Bucky more than once that if he just stopped, if he just found the right woman, etc-- he didn’t mean any harm with it but he was happy to think the way of his era, whereas Bucky was born ahead of his time. Still, Steve is probably the only person that Bucky knew then who knew his secret and that he protected it earned even more of Bucky’s loyalty and devotion. 
Now, consider what happened when Steve Rogers was pulled out of the ice and found himself living in the literal World of Tomorrow. It’s imperfect, for sure. It’s overwhelming for him, especially at first, but it’s a world that he has to feel the wrong guy from the ‘40s has lived to see. How many times did Steve wish Bucky could see this world? How much was he thinking of Bucky when he met the literal son of the creator of the World of Tomorrow in Tony Stark-- a man who would challenge everything Steve thought was true about what it was to be a man? How guilty did Steve feel when he would sometimes get a little closer to being more open about himself in this world of Tony’s, when he’d think of how there had been a man who loved him in their own time, who was his best friend and gave him an unconditional love, even when Steve didn’t love himself, and how Steve just couldn’t love him like that in return? 
Then, Steve’s journey results in him meeting Sam Wilson. They have some things in common-- they both know war and what it’s like to feel like like they might sink to the floor through a mattress. They both know the solitude of the floor and have not seem to have figured out a way beyond that. They both are runners-- literally and figuratively-- as they try to outrun the men from their pasts that they left behind... the fellow soldiers that didn’t make it home and died before their eyes. Sam is a good listener and Steve is Captain America-- they are able to help one another. Steve needs some counseling and Sam needs to feel a connection to the country he’s feeling has left him behind but that he loves. So, naturally, this is of course when Bucky resurfaces in the story. 
The Winter Soldier’s existence breaks Steve in half because, for the first time, Bucky isn’t the strong one of the two of them. Bucky is in trouble and Steve never saved him. Have you all considered that The Howlies should have known Bucky was missing because back then, you left no man behind and they should have hiked down the hill for his body? If it wasn’t there, they should have realized he was *missing* and not *dead*? But they never did. Because, as crushed as he was by the loss of his closest friend, some dark part of Steve let Bucky be dead from that fall and couldn’t face seeing it for real because he couldn’t look at the unseeing, dead eyes of the man who loved him and accepted him, even when Steve was unable to give Bucky the latter in return. It was guilt and then that guilt pops up right as Steve is in conflict with Tony and has just met Sam not that long before-- these relationships with men in the modern era that challenge Steve to be a better version of who he was and who pops up but Steve’s living, breathing, prowling, raging guilt in human form. 
And, man, is it ever causing some serious havoc...
So, why is Sam ultimately better? The guy who advised Steve that sometimes you couldn’t save them all and Bucky might be gone now and just needed to be stopped? 
Steve couldn’t give up on Bucky because he felt he owed him. He had been on his own journey and realized a lot about how he used to think and act and here was Bucky again and a chance to make it up to him in some way. What’s of note, though? Steve does not act like someone who got a long-lost love back. He’s still running for Peggy the moment he has a chance. He’s still not capable of looking at Bucky as anything beyond his oldest, closest friend. What he wants for Bucky, though, is the World of Tomorrow. 
Suddenly, there’s a chance to give to Bucky the thing he’s been thinking all the time since he woke up-- that this is a world for Bucky Barnes. Steve, out of his sense of loyalty and his decades-long guilt, moves heaven and earth to give Bucky that chance and is grateful when T’Challa will help to bring Bucky back. The irony of all of this is that Bucky Barnes, the man who used to hide his true self beneath an exterior identity, is now a man completely trapped beneath The Winter Soldier and when Steve sees a glimmer of that, he *has* to save Bucky. 
What Sam learns along the way is that he and Steve have some things in common, sure, but he has more in common with Bucky Barnes. Sam is a man who understands what it is to have PTSD and the struggle to overcome it. He used to think he was the Steve of this story-- the one who watched his old soldier friend fall to his death-- but he has quickly realized he’s actually the Bucky... the guy who loved a man who couldn’t love him back and who was lost to him, leaving him spinning. Sam knows what it is to have to act in a different way to try to be accepted by a society that doesn’t have your back, even if you love the country with your whole heart anyway. He knows what it’s like to be a veteran who was left behind and forgotten about, discounted and forced to find his own way. For sure, Bucky has enjoyed more privileges in his day (pre-Winter Soldier) by virtue of being white than Sam has but neither of them are ever going to be what Steve Rogers wanted to be. Neither of them are that outdated ideal of 1940s blue eyed blond Star-Spangled Man with a Plan kind of masculinity. 
Sam is also something Steve still really isn’t, even in the modern era, which is a man who is comfortable with the fact that he is attracted to men. In this World of Steve and Bucky’s Tomorrow that is the present, that is something that is no longer needed to be kept as hidden as it once was. It is not an era of complete change, especially in places like the military and when it comes to celebrity-- the nexus of Captain America’s world, really-- but it is an absolutely revolutionary transformation from when Bucky was last in control of his mind in the 1940s. 
Sam is a quieter guy, even if he’s cheerful and amiable on the surface. He keeps a lot to himself. He’s clearly not gotten seriously involved with anybody in awhile when we met him and hadn’t between then and TFATWS, either, despite being a smart, gorgeous, kind and empathetic Avenger. The one who has caught his eye is the once-brainwashed assassin who keeps showing up to save his life (often from an annoying teenager with webbed fingers, much to their chagrin). It’s Bucky that he’s stuck with and that’s not just because he feels like Steve would want him to. Both he and Bucky think that the other might just be caring because of Steve but they prove to one another that this isn’t the case-- that their instincts that they have something that might be independent of Steve is true. They’re both afraid. They’ve both been through a lot and do not trust easily so it’s a thrill when they realize they really can trust one another-- and that they actually do *see* one another there. They don’t just see Steve’s shadow. They understand what the other needs and get better at it the longer they are together because they are fundamentally more alike and better suited than either of them are with Steve. 
TFATWS has Bucky telling Sam that he and Steve talked about giving Sam the shield and since Steve’s shield in the present was broken in the battle with Thanos in Endgame, it means that Bucky knew the plan in its entirety (which goes along with how he doesn’t seem surprised by it in Endgame as well.) It means Bucky knew that Steve was going to go back to the time they were from and find Peggy after he put the stones back and have that dance. It means that Bucky standing there while Sam spoke with Steve knew he would see Old Steve that day, knew the whole thing. Steve, being the fundamentally decent man he is, had to have offered for Bucky to come with him. He probably really wished he would because he would love to have his friend back then with him for the rest of their lives. It would be a way to do it all over-- to go back to where they began and this time, Steve would try to be more supportive. You know he would have tried to be different, even if he couldn’t feel any thing different than what he did. But Bucky...? 
Bucky had to see a life of more hell in that. What was the plan there for him? He goes back with Steve, they put the stones away, they find Peggy and then what? The rest of Bucky’s life is him married to some friend of Peggy’s they set him up with? Stolen moments with some man, if he was lucky enough to meet one? A family made not from love-- not the kind of love, anyway, that Bucky would like to have? What was waiting for him back then? Nothing. 
Because he’s been through sheer hell but, somehow, he’s been given something he never thought was possible then: the chance to not only see what the future might be like but to live in it, as a part of it. 
For sure, Endgame!Bucky, who had just gotten his mind back not that long before The Snap and just came back from dust to fight a battle and go to a funeral and that’s about it, hasn’t the first clue what the first step he should take to sort himself out enough to figure out how to live again is... but even then, even in that place of nothing but vulnerability and pain, he’s hopeful. He’s strong enough to say that’s what he wants. He wants what Steve wants, in a way-- to live in the time he belongs in and be able to find a life for himself. He wants the love and the family he never got to experience and wouldn’t in the same way in the era he was born in. Staying in the present to work though his pain and figure it out-- to have that choice-- means more to Bucky than following Steve because while Bucky believes in Steve’s goodness and would follow that to the moon and back, Steve cannot give him what he once might have wanted, which is to look at him the way that Steve looks at Peggy. Bucky wants that. Steve might not understand not wanting to live in the 1940s entirely but he wants Bucky to have whatever he wants. He feels uncomfortable not being there to see it through-- hence, that kind of awkward hug before he travels back in time. There are things that Bucky wants and needs that Steve doesn’t fully appreciate but he can appreciate him needing to make the choice to live the way he wants to live and deserving the freedom to do just that. 
Consider the rush for Bucky when he realizes that Steve’s snarky friend might have just looked at him when he thought he wasn’t looking, that maybe that heat between them isn’t one-sided. That they live *now* and while it’s not free of challenges, it’s paradise compared to the 1940s. That maybe, just maybe, he lived through all this hell because he’s supposed to be here now and maybe that also means he’s supposed to be with this man who not only understands him but who is everything that Bucky couldn’t have been in his day-- openly attracted to men? If you were Bucky, there’s no way you couldn’t be entertaining fantasies about being able to take Sam for a romantic walk by the water somewhere and no one calling the police if you were to kiss him at sunset...
Not to mention that if you’re Sam? Who is going to get your PTSD and understand when you get a little quiet more than the guy you met while he fell out of the sky and tried to murder you while brainwashed? Who is so annoying because he’s dryly funny and annoyingly hot and more good than anyone who has been through that amount of hell should have a right to be? Who is enough like you to be made for you but different enough that you’ll never be bored? Who makes you feel safer than you’ve ever felt-- safe enough to give over a lot of the trust you are hesitant to give much of anyone because you know he won’t abuse it? You have to be entertaining thoughts about spending a lifetime making him feel as safe and finding new ways to make him laugh...
Sam and Bucky are the ones that will protect one another’s hearts. Steve is a great guy whose arc with Bucky is about making up for hurting him and growing as a person as a result, not about Steve’s undying romantic and/or sexual love, IMO. Among other things, Sam is the first man Bucky has been able to consider building a life with and I’d wager it actually works in reverse for Sam, despite him being born much later than Bucky-- Riley could have been Sam’s lover but there is enough pining regret there that I think he saw Sam in the way that Steve saw Bucky. There’s enough there to suggest that Sam had not met someone he saw a future with until Bucky, which would also account for the occasional nervousness. They seem like opposites but, in many ways, they’re exactly alike and in the ways that they are not, they compliment one another. Sam and Bucky are each other’s chances at happiness and peace so if you’re still saying Bucky should be sobbing in Steve’s notebook waiting for him to come back from the woman he left him for... why are you wishing such hell on this poor guy? Bucky deserves the smiles and the lightness in his step and the sister and the nephews and the community cookouts and, most of all, *Sam*...
...and Sam deserves the sun, the moon and the stars and seems content having found his way to the shield and to Bucky so let them be happy for the hot minute they will be until their movie conflict. ;) Steve’s getting his dance-- Bucky and Sam deserve theirs, too.

2020 Fic Recs
Okay, I did a fic rec list last year for 2019, and nobody asked for this, but you know what, I’m gonna do another one. Really the only thing I wanna look back on about 2020 is the fic- bc damn there were some good ones!
Same as last year, these are fics that were completed in 2020. (So no in-progress fics here)
So here goes, 20 fic recs for 2020, in no particular order! And full disclosure, these are all totally different ratings/pairings/whatever.
I tried to tag all the authors who had tumblrs, but i probably missed some, and some of them aren’t actually working but hey! the username is there!
Some stucky bc of course
Sharpened Claws by tragicama (Explicit)
Steve Rogers has a unique talent of getting himself into danger. As one of New York City’s best homicide detectives, it isn’t easy to ignore the constant call of trouble and gore. At least, that’s what he tries to tell his overprotective and brooding boyfriend, Bucky Barnes, even if he knows it might be a lie.
Bucky is dangerous, gorgeous. . .and a werewolf. As the Alpha of New York City, he is easily considered the most powerful being in the world. But when Bucky begins to lose his control over his shift, he slowly becomes aware of a bond that sends him reeling, and one he’d never thought possible.
But everything is not as it seems. After a homicide case unleashes a sequence of events that neither Steve nor Bucky are prepared for, they soon find themselves entangled with a danger that threatens to rip them apart. With the help of Steve’s partner and best friend, Sam, Bucky and Steve navigate a dark web of pack politics, masquerade balls, and a crash course in what it means to be a pack, even as a greater danger looms. And one that might succeed in ripping them apart.
These Happy Gilded Years by crinklefries @spacerenegades, nalonzoo (Teen)
Steve Rogers, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and mostly happy disposition, had lived twenty-three years in the world with very little to distress or vex him.
( Steve is wealthy and and charming, with good humor and good temper, doted upon by his mother and the highest of New York Society, with no one to ever criticize or say the word no to him. Well, other than Bucky. But he doesn't count.
He is also warm and friendly and has a talent for matchmaking. Or so he thinks. Actually, he's kind of terrible at it.
Importantly, Steve will definitely never fall in love or marry, himself. He tells everyone this, repeatedly. Well anyway, we'll see about that. )

MS: You were with him the most throughout the course of events, both before and after. Your account could shed light on something we may have missed.
JB: What difference will that make?
MS: It could make all the difference. Captain Rogers’ case is unprecedented, he’s the most intact victim we’ve ever recovered-
JB: [laughing] You call that intact?
A Noble Steed by alby_mangroves @albymangroves or @artgroves, leveragehunters (Teen)
"You say the Warhorse showed up last night," Sam said in tones of profound doubt.
"Yeah," Steve replied.
"The Warhorse. The Warhorse of legend. Daelland's Warhorse."
"The same as the one on the back of the transit card, yes."
"And he appeared in your living room?"
Steve eyed the Warhorse, very large and very black and giving him a dubious look out of his strange grey eyes. "He's standing in it right now."
"Uh huh," Sam said.
"Hey, I'm not any happier about it than you are."
* * *
Steve's mom had left Daelland long before he was born, following her heart to New York, but she'd raised him on stories of its famous Warhorse. Before she died, he'd promised he'd go back and learn the country she'd come from.
That was why he was in Daelland. Not so Daelland's legendary Warhorse could appear in his living room. But planned or not that's what had happened—now Steve had to figure out what to do about it.
a hat, a horse (a Hyundai), and the will to ride by elkane @elkane, synonym4life @synonym-for-life (Explicit)
After Steve and Bucky rescue their pals from the Raft prison, they decide to dig deeper into Zemo’s involvement in the UN headquarters’ bombing which sends them on a backpacking trip across select European countries. Steve and Bucky believe this is a story about their mission. Scott Lang and Sam Wilson, who join them halfway through, believe it’s a story about their Eurotrip (and they’re probably right). This writer, however, has been waiting to tell you that the fic’s true mission is Steve and Bucky missioning towards missionary.
Follow them on their journey across Europe in tiny cars, packed subway trains and even on skis as they tumble down the Swiss Alps (in a fun way this time!), all the while reigniting untold feelings of the past through inappropriate sexual encounters and terrible communication skills.
someday at christmas (there’ll be no wars) by stevebuckiest @stevebuckyinc (not rated)
A mission on Christmas. Not even on Christmas, technically. A mission after Christmas which means he and Steve and the Howlies will be trekking through the tundra towards possible death on what used to be Bucky’s favorite day of the year. Jesus Christ.
(alternatively: bucky and steve try to make the best of a shitty situation)
the cabin by natalie_nebula (Explicit)
It felt like he… It felt like they were always so close. Everything seemed like it was under control. He remembers hearing Wanda’s voice, seeing a flash of red out of the corner of his eye. He remembers yelling something back at her, telling her to stop, to not come any closer. He remembers a bright flash, then a boom, and ringing in his ears. He remembers a black blur, and hands on his back, around his waist, then—darkness…
After the explosion in Lagos, Steve wakes up in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, and all he knows is that Bucky's the one who brought him there. While Sam, Nat, and the other Avengers try to figure out what happened to their friend, Steve takes the time away to heal—both his relationship with Bucky, and with himself. My cozy, romantic, and introspective Civil War rewrite.
Every Feeling by Nestri (Explicit)
Steve completely surprises Bucky with a visit, scent thick with heat. The Alpha keeps his hands to himself until Steve makes it clear he doesn't want him to.
Halbarry!
A Speedster and a Space Cop get into a Car by ChocolateTeapots @chocolateteapotsvis (Teen)
Hal and Barry embark on their most perilous mission yet: picking Wally up from the airport.
For Halbarry Week, Day 3: First Times “And you just called me Barry, genius”
Crosswind by Cinderstrato (Explicit)
Hal had collected plenty of regrets over the years. What was the weight of one more?
Just A Mark by the_butler @the-butler-fanstuff (Mature)
“What a nerd.”
Barry had been haunted by these words all his life, seeing as they were his soulmate’s mark. It came out during puberty, just like everyone else’s, but by then he was already well on the way to being a ‘nerd’ so to speak. He wasn’t just some guy claiming to be nerd because he was into Dungeons and Dragons or anime, oh no. He was a bona fide science nerd- went to interstate science fairs and competitions even.
—————(Originally a one-shot, now continued)——————
Barry Allen was working at the forensics lab of Central City PD when it waltzes the new transfer from Coast City, Detective Hal Jordan, not just into the lab but also into his life. There’s the matter of them being soulmates- but Barry is unconvinced. Science tells him there’s a likely chance that they’re just platonic soulmates, so Hal suggests an experiment of sorts: they go on three dates, and then decide whether or not they’re just platonic, or something more.
Tired by ceelolights @ceeloilights (Gen)
Hal comes home to Barry still working late into the night.
Last but most certainly not least, Jeronica:
The long way round to heaven by Bearfacedcheek (Mature)
“This could screw everything up. Jesus why couldn’t you just, fucking not?”
“I did just fucking not Jughead,” she retorts hotly. “I’ve been not for months. No one was ever supposed to know, least of all you. So, don’t blame me for what you saw when you invaded a private moment.”
“Oh, my bad Veronica,” sarcasm, his most comfortable armour, wraps itself around his words. “Did my near-death experience compromised your privacy? I’m sorry that my spirit took an astral fucking walk out of my almost corpse and y-”
“Don’t,” she gasps. Her hand flies to her mouth and it trembles visibly as she draws it away. “Don’t say that. Jesus Jughead we almost lost you.”
sadder, badder, cooler by thefudge @thefudge (Teen)
AU. Just who is Veronica's mysterious new husband? (based on season 5 spoilers)
all i’ll ever need is you by whatacoolkid @whatacoolkid (Teen)
jughead and veronica but make it ✨christmas✨
destined to be forgotten by bothromeoandjuliet @kindnessinpain2000 (Teen)
There are plenty of broken things in Riverdale - broken families, broken trust, broken hearts - but in the middle stands the two most broken things of all, Veronica Lodge and Forsythe 'Jughead' Jones.
(Jughead and Veronica learn about the Barchie kiss - this is the aftermath)
I Really (Don’t) Know What I Want by Bella_Dahlia @bella-dahlia (Mature)
There were many potential disasters to befall an average weirdo high school student; when one had an active imagination and a love for John Hughes films, as Jughead Jones did, you sort of assumed you had foresaw the possibilities. Plus, after solving a sordid murder and joining a gang, he really thought he gone through his fair share of teenaged trauma.
Having to fake a relationship to save his best friend from dedicating his life to a mafia and getting punched repeatedly in the process definitely had not crossed his mind before now.
——————————————
Or, Jughead and Veronica don’t really know what they’ve gotten themselves into.
all the lovers with no time for me by Krewlak (Mature)
jeroncia goes to stonewall. that's it. that's the fic.
call it what you want to by an_expensive_imagination (Teen)
“First things first,” Veronica says, reaching up to slide the ever-present gray beanie off his head, “no beanies in college.”
And here’s a one off random spideypool:
Shooting For Your Heart by X_Gon_Give_It (Teen)
“In my defense, I didn’t expect you to get hurt.”
“And I didn’t expect to be run out of town, yet here we are.”
He went suddenly stiff, “Wait...you were run out of town?”
“As if you didn’t know,” Peter grumbled, but when he looked up he did a double-take at Wade's confused expression. “Almighty, you really don’t know, do you?” he snapped the drawer shut, “Well, after that little fiasco by Two-Stone Canyon, a little rumor spread that me and you were in cahoots. The rumor got some ground and it turned the whole town against me. I was run out before I could defend my case. Why'dya think I was out there the other night to begin with?”
<><><><><><>
When Peter Parker, a deputy known as Webslinger, gets accused of working with the West's deadliest outlaw he finds himself on the run from the people he once trusted. In an effort to prove his innocence, he finds himself captured by the very outlaw tarnishing his name.

Why hello Sir Max, I'd like to ask 6 & 15 for Its not like a tree (when the roots have to end) for the ask game 💜
Hello, fine Madam. How are you this fair spring day?
Fic - It’s not like a tree (when the roots have to end)
6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?
Hmm... Well, it was the first whump I posted. I’d posted angst, but up til then, no physical whump like this one. It was also the first (and is still the only) fic that I’ve posted set in ww2 era.
15: What did you learn from writing this fic?
A lot about field medicine practices. And the terrain of that area of the world. And the basics of getting shot in the torso (what’s realistically survivable, what’s not, etc). And the top speed steve can run. And a bunch of other stuff because my brain has the audacity to enjoy research 🤦‍♂️
Other than that, I learned how writing whump is different - what’s easier and what’s harder. I learned a lot about the characters I’ve subconsciously created for all the Howlies and ww2 Stucky.... I’m probably forgetting a bunch but yeah this one was fun!
Ask me about my fics!

Miss her.
Her being Steve & Bucky during the Howling Commandos era.
Bucky struggling with trauma from having been a horrible horrible lab rat on top of being in an unforgiving war, Steve struggling with trauma from being thrown into that unforgiving war after minimal time to prepare his new body for all this.
Them needing to find a new footing in regards to their relationship because
There's something broken within Bucky, Steve can feel it, but he's not used to Bucky being like this and he can't bring his friend to talk.
And Bucky? Bucky feels flat out useless, now that Steve has this new body and is cured of all those maladies. Bucky feels swallowed and spat out again, all wrong and dark and ruined, so surely Steve wont need him anymore.
(He’s so so so very wrong).
So yeah, it takes them a careful dance and probably some verbal collisions to find the rythm again, but it’s a testament to their bond that they find it again, and really, there wasn’t any real doubt about that anyhow. They rile each other up, spray fake poision around, compensating stuff left and right, until the sweet sweet catharsis comes along and they fucking communicate.
There’s a bone crushing hug, trembling fingers, a few tears, hushed words and many downward gazes, Sorry, Buckys and Stop it you yucks and It’s gonna be okay, Bucks and Yeah I know Stevies.
And the Howlies watch it all happen from start to finish right before their very eyes when they got out of that Hydra hell, with a mixture of amusement, sadness and annoyance - most of all affection though.

Sunday reading recap (29-Jul-2018)
mood
Tumblr media
the real world wasn’t so great but i was blessed by the fic gods this week
Better Than Sex (Kim Dare, 49 pgs)
Buying You (Wendy Rathbone, 189 pgs)
Bucky Barnes Gets His Groove Back & Other International Incidents (silentwalrus) - Stucky, 261K. The first one (Better To Bend) is a 23K, delightful, First Avenger-era fic with Peggy explaining to Bucky & Steve how things should work between them; also some good Howlies action. The 2nd (If They Haven’t Learned Your Name) is 238K, immediately post TWS with the person formerly known as The Winter Soldier/The Asset healing himself through killing Hydra agents, romance novels, dubstep and a UFO, all while his boo *also* kills a lot of Hydra agents, angsts about his boyfriend & reluctantly goes on vacation in Croatia. Lots of good Falcon & Black Widow stuff too. Really loved this. I expounded even more on how much I loved it here.
A Duke In Shining Armor (Loretta Chase, 384 pgs) - typical escaspist fantasy histrom but I did quite like the characters and found it very enjoyable. Sometimes that's what you want.
Sweatpants Season (Danielle Allen) - nice contemporary het romance, read mainly bc it came up on @rebekahweatherspoon‘s @wocinromance and that cover made me laugh & sweat a little. 
misc shorter fanfic, a lot of it from the VLD Yeehaw AU and also a fantastic shorter fic from @silentwalrus1 where Bucky is definitely (not) a plant witch who kinda dresses like he’s a swamp monster. I adored it. 
Fav read of the week: DEFINITELY If They Haven’t Learned Your Name. Honestly I’m still in a bit of a hangover from it.

‘Brothers’ - oh, what a masterpiece
There are some pieces of fanfiction that stick around in your mind, long after you have finished reading them.
Sometimes they linger in poignant quotes, other times, it’s through the vivid imagery that your mind conjures up as you absorb the words. And sometimes — sometimes, you’re just left with emotions that you can’t quite put a finger on, feelings that leave you speechless and awestruck because you’ve never quite felt this way before.
I finished reading ‘Brothers’ by @bloodbuzzedohio last night and it’s still fresh in my mind this morning.
I’ve…taken a while to type out this commentary, simply because I want to be able to do this masterpiece justice. It’s impacted me, as I said. As a writer, as a reader, and most importantly, as an individual. People say I have a way with words, but after reading a piece like this? ‘How to English better’ is something that I seriously considered Googling.
See, I never understand how people can say that fanfiction isn’t ‘real writing’, because Brothers proves every single one of those people wrong. This is…this is writing at its finest, I tell you. I would read this over some preppy YA novel any day.
Look, I could sit here and tell you about how spectacularly wonderful this fic is in the technical, literary sense — the poetic descriptions, the stellar pacing, the breathtaking plot (or lack thereof, arguably). But, if you do choose to read this, I’m sure you can come to those conclusions on your own. No, I’m going to sit here and tell you to go fucking read this piece of art right here, because it is simultaneously uplifting and heartbreaking. It reminds me of warm, syrupy honey, but also a harsh slap to the face. It’s a story that most of us are familiar with, told in a wholly novel way, from an entirely different perspective.
Yeah. Maybe that’s why I like it so much — because it’s a Steve and Bucky love story, without actually being a Steve and Bucky love story, in the, for want of a better word, ‘mainstream’ way a Stucky love story might be written. 
It’s written from an outsider’s perspective, but—that lends Brothers its charm. There are so many little details in there, so many clever little tidbits of information about the Howlies that make me fall in love with their characters just that little bit more. There are not many fics out there that I could see becoming adapted into a movie — but Brothers is definitely near the top of the list. I wish that we could’ve seen more of this family-like camaraderie in CA:TFA, I really do.
**Skip this paragraph if you don’t want to read spoiler-y things**
I love how Bucky is never referred to by name, nor is their relationship ever explicitly labelled as a relationship. On a surface level, yes, that’s kind of in keeping with the general mindset of the era, but more importantly, that just…I don’t know, it just makes their romance that much more fierce and private, I feel. I love how it’s not wholly chronological, like he really is dipping in and out of his memory as he sees fit. I love how this is not a story that revolves wholly around Steve and Bucky — it could have easily become that, but I’m glad we get to see the Howlies, the Brothers. We get to see their development throughout the book and yes, there are bittersweet parts (there are even completely bitter parts), but throughout it all, you see their brotherhood becoming ever-stronger and I just. I can’t. I love Steve and Bucky with all my heart, but you’ve managed to make me love the Howlies even more, too.
**end of spoiler-y things**
This is a complex piece of fiction — I’m not gonna call it fanfiction, because in my opinion, this is beyond fanfiction. But, I digress. Like I said, this is a complex piece of fiction — without being too analytical, let’s just say that there are many themes woven throughout it. Perhaps the most obvious one is ‘love’, but it’s love in a way I don’t see enough in contemporary fiction. It’s beyond-brotherly love, something not quite platonic, but not quite romantic either. It’s…heartwarming, endearing and oh-so meannigful.
*sigh* I really am rambling, at this point. Having re-read what I’ve just written, I’m not entirely sure if I’m making any sense. The long and short of it is this: go read this fic. You won’t regret it.
@bitsandbobsandstuff - I think you’d like this, if you haven’t already read it. Also gonna tag @buckaholic because I love making you cry, honey.

WC: 1455 - A story in 6 tiny parts.
Tumblr media
All his life he's been told He’ll be nothing when he’s old All the kicks and all the blows He won't ever let it show („Superhero“, The Script)
 I.
„Name's James, but you can call me Bucky.“, he says and holds out his hand, grinning and eyes glinting. „Nice to meet you. I'm Steven Rogers but...you can call me Steve.“, the scrawny kid says, and his voice sounds like he's trying to act all grown-up and important. „Nice to meet'ya too, Stevie. Wanna play?“, he answers and shows him his new ball, the one he got  from his Momma a few days ago.
„Yes. Should be careful, though.“ Turns out, playing ball isn't that good for poor Stevie's lungs, and they need to stop after a few rounds of catch-an'-throw. He almost falls over and his breathing is really weird, so Bucky helps him get home and apologizes. Steve says it's not his fault and is really polite, tears in his eyes but defiantly waving him goodbye, shouting a wheezy „See ya, Bucky!“, while his Mom pulls him inside with anxious eyes. Bucky decides that Steve's a brave kid, because he played ball with him even though he knew it wasn't good for him. And Bucky decides to be his friend, because someone's got to make sure the world is gonna notice that brave kid too.
II.
Steve gets sick one day, which isn't anything special, since he gets sick every few months – but this time, he doesn't get out of bed for weeks and weeks, and Bucky is starting to get really worried, hovering near Steve's bed while his Mom is making soup. „You're gonna be alright, Stevie. You're gonna be alright.“, he babbles, laying his jittery hand on sweaty hair. „Of course I'm gonna be alright, Buck.“, his friend mumbles, exhausted beyond description, but speaking nonetheless. Bucky can't say anything, he just swallows and tries to calm his racing heart. It's a few ours later when the fever finally breaks and the Doctor says Steve's probably going to live. Bucky almost cries and bites his lip until he tastes blood. He shakes his head and sits next to Steve's bed, listening to his best friend's mother crying and making more soup. He falls asleep thinking that Steve's a real brave kid, so strong and better than all of them. He dreams of a time when the whole world will see how great a kid Steve is.
 III.
Sometimes, Bucky wants to kill them all and go to jail, just for Steve getting a break. It's not fair, that he's being used as a punching bag just for trying to stand up for other people. Bullies do what they do – they bully people. And Steve does what Steve does – he's defending other people, righteous guy that he is. And Bucky's left to pick up the pieces, ending several nasty fights and tending to Steve's wound after a run-in with a far-too-big fist. “You need to stop doing that.” “What?” “Picking fights with bigger ones.” “They pick on smaller and weaker ones.” “..You're small, too. It's dangerous.” “That's different, and I don't ca-” “I care. Just...stop.” “I can't, Buck. I can't.” Bucky just keeps tending to Steve's wounds and bites his lip, grinds his teeth and almost wants to smile. Because Steve's the best kid he ever knew, and one day the people will find out about him and nobody will ever beat Steve Rogers up again.
 IV.
Bucky is good with the dames, and he knows it. Steve would be good with them too, if he tried. And if the dames wouldn't be so stupid and overly obsessed with giggling and hair styles and uniforms. He wants to roll his eyes, but there's an acid taste in his mouth and he wants to go home. Steve's uncomfortable, so therefore Bucky's uncomfortable too. The school dance isn't over yet, and even though Steve looks a bit miserable, he's eying Lizzy's brown hair, his cheeks red and mouth pulled into a small petulant smile. Lizzy's not giving him any attention, though, because she's silly and not even a real dame yet, and Bucky can see when Steve's reluctantly accepting his fate of having no partner for the dance tonight, face frustrated and eyes a tiny tad sad. On the spur of the moment he says goodbye to Brenda, leaving her right there at the ugly school table and grabs Steve by the arm. They leave the school dance and go home, eat the delicious stew Steven's mom does so well and build a fort out of cushions. They wrestle a bit until Steve almost has an attack and then they giggle softly and say good night to each other. Bucky goes to sleep almost instantly, smiling to himself and thinking of the day when all those stupid dames will discover Steve as the best lad there is, because he's funny and smart and oh, so good.
  V.
Nobody will take Steve, and while he's really angry and frustrated, Bucky on his part is so very relieved and thankful. Not for Steve's health problems and general condition, never, but for the people saving him from certain death in some muddy ditch at the front line of the biggest bully fight ever. He himself is already part of the army without really wanting to, but he can't do nothing – and he sees the opportunity to end a fight before Stevie even gets near it, so he's not gonna turn away, even if he could. Therefore he grits his teeth and puts on his uniform, gets promoted to Sergeant surprisingly fast and sees Steve a hell of a lot less than he anticipated. He should have known though, and he tries to get used to it. The war's really bad, but he's not so bad at what he's doing-  he tries not to dwell on it and thinks of Stevie instead. Steve's Mom has been dead a while now, and his own parents are dead as well, so they're all they've got left now. He writes letters and cards, visits him when he's on home leave – and Steve never stops trying to get into the damn army. Bucky would be angry, perhaps a bit sad – but he's only worried and a little proud, because that's just as much as he expected from the scrawny kid. So he watches Steve with a somewhat doleful smile and prays for the world to see the huge and big soul his best friend's got. Not today, maybe, please not today, but one day.
 VI.
His whole world is on fire, and it's all wrong and horrible. Bucky's gonna die, he's certain – the Germans have given him something deadly now, surely. He sees monsters in the corners, but when he turns his head to yell at them they are gone. There's only greyness and numbness paired with never-ending pain. He keeps mumbling like they wished all those days ago, can't seem to stop, and there's so much noise and so much emptiness inside his head, and he just can't- Suddenly Steve's there, but he's too big, and Bucky almost laughs and hears a tired, kinda breathy voice asking the questions he wants to ask too – later he realises that he must have asked them himself after all. He follows the larger version of Steve out of Hell and wonders why Captain America, that silly wack from the motivational comics looks a lot like Steve and came to save him and the others- but then he faints, hearing a muttered “Thataboy”.
He wakes up and Steve's there again, big and healthy and grabbing Buck like his life depends on it – he almost closes his eyes again, but only almost. They smile at each other and then Bucky throws up all over Captain America's shoes, but he keeps smiling and hides his trembling hands, just happy to have Steve by his side. Bucky gets better faster than he should, but they don't think about it, just talk a lot about nothing and everything. They march all the way back and Bucky is exhausted but so damn proud of his scrawny best friend, even though he feels a lot like he lost someone.
At one point he yells “Let's hear it for Captain America!” - and his heart is full of confusing thunder because the scrawny kid is somehow gone, the world has suddenly noticed the hero that has been living in a weak body all this time, the hero that has finally gotten the wings he always deserved.
Bucky grinds his teeth and follows him, wings or not, is willing to share Steve Rogers with a world who doesn't deserve him but took him nonetheless.

There’s a bone crushing hug, trembling fingers, a few tears, hushed words and many downward gazes, Sorry, Buckys and Stop it you yucks and It’s gonna be okay, Bucks and Yeah I know Stevies.
And the Howlies watch it all happen from start to finish right before their very eyes when they got out of that Hydra hell, with a mixture of amusement, sadness and annoyance - most of all affection though.
