I am not sure if this is already in the library but And No One Can Talk to a Horse by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen) is a true gem! kelpie Bucky and half mer Steve with an incredible Bucky characterization.

[thestuckylibrary]

Hey! I noticed that your Wendigo!Bucky tag was lacking, and there was a fic that I read that was amazing. It’s Wendigo by L1av. And thanks for the amazing library!

[thestuckylibrary]

Post TFA canon divergence story with mythical beings taking place in the ocean.

[thestuckylibrary]

Hey guys 👋 I read a fic a while back and I haven’t been able to find it. It’s Selkie Steve and Bucky is like a tree or something? Anyways they’re each other’s soulmates and Steve works in a coffee shop with Natasha. I think it was a one shot and the fic starts out with Rebecca kicking Bucky because he wouldn’t change out of his tree form. I’d be so grateful if you could find it! Thanks for everything

This one?

Don't Let the Tide Come and Wash Us Away by alittlewicked, hey_you_with_the_face (oneshot |10,039 | E)

There was a man standing in the shop. A man with Steve’s leather jacket wrapped tight around him – or at least a jacket that looked like his seal skin.

Anyway.

A really beautiful, young man with a strong build and broad shoulders was standing in the doorway. His wispy brown hair framing an expressive face with beautiful pouty lips, an adorably cleft chin, and steel grey eyes that remembered Steve of the stormy seas of Ireland, of his ancestors’ home.

Steve was unabashedly staring (sue him, it was his shop).

Or: the one where Steve, the selkie with a coffee shop like they wished they had at 2 Broke Girls, gets accidentally selkie-married to Bucky, the dryad who just came back from an extended tree time, and they are both just idiots in love at first sight.

Summary:

Complete

An Underworld movie AU

Two hundred and six years ago to the day, Bucky became a vampire. Fuelled by vengeance, he has become his coven’s greatest weapon in the immortal war against the lycans.

Following an anonymous tip, Bucky saves Steve Rogers for the sake of his coven, and maybe for reasons he refuses to examine too closely. But then Steve is bitten and now they stand on opposite sides of an unending blood feud.

There isn’t a world for a lycan and a vampire, but somewhere between a subway station and a safe house, a Black Widow bite and the rising tide of lost memories, Bucky finds himself doubting everything he thought he knew - including that age-old rule about never falling in love with a werewolf.

97k words of good stuff, complete and rated E. A great enemies to lovers fic where the burn isn't that slow, but the length makes it a bit of a wait anyway. Really great writing, Bucky’s character voice is great, and the internal conflict between his hate for werewolves and attraction to Steve is simply so goood! From the perspective of someone who hasn’t seen the movie, the plot was also very interesting!

when you kill the lights by haipollai

Its a vampire!Steve and vampire!Bucky that I think should have more kudos. It’s amazing and I like the storical view. Don’t let the polyamorous tag fool you. It’s just a scene at the end and it’s not even canon.

[thestuckylibrary]

Any ‘how to train your dragon’ inspired fics? :) thank you

I only found one:

where no one goes by cloud_wolfbane, Inkforwords, made_of_sunshine (complete |40,440 | T)

Three years ago, Steve Rogers woke up on the shores of Skjoldr, barely breathing, his daemon at his side. He remembered nothing of his previous life.

Featuring: A war in which he is not the hero, a dragon who may not be what it seems and two boys who are more than they realize.

Hello! I am looking for priest Steve fics :D

here u go:

Winter Discoveries by WinterMagnets (complete |20,997 | M)

AU. Steve is the priest in his childhood parish and Bucky is his friend and one of the parishioners. Things between them heat up after some secrets are revealed

Drug You Can’t Refuse by thelittlestpurplecat (complete |40,086 | E)

His visitor was beautiful.He had dark chestnut hair that was pushed back from his face in impossibly soft, loose curls. His visitor had smokey eyes, and delicate gold chains adorning his gorgeous, naked body, reflecting the moonlight that spilled from the high window of the church. He was everything Priest Steve Rogers hadn’t expected to come wandering into his sanctuary late one October night.He was beautiful,and he wasn’t human.

(A Priest!Steve/Incubus!Bucky fic)

Command Me To Be Well by tumtatumtum (complete |29,610 | E)

The first time Bucky meets his new partner, he’s shackled to the wall of a filthy torture chamber.

OR

Incubus!Bucky and Priest!Steve travel through 16th century Italy hunting HYDRA monsters for the Vatican, kicking ass and trying not to fall into bed with each other.

Well, Steve tries. Bucky’s mostly a flirtatious little shit.

Nacht und Nebel by seapigeon (WIP |1,976 | M)

In the backdrop of the Second World War, an unusual alliance forms between a priest desperate to save innocents and a vampire who has his own reasons to hate the Third Reich. It soon becomes clear that there’s more than a common enemy drawing them together. Trouble is, it’s a sin.

[thestuckylibrary]

JESUS CHRIST IM SO GLAD I FOUND THID BLOG- HI GUYS! Sorry I sound so desperate but I REALLY AM DESPERATE- I’ve been looking for this fic for A WEEK NOW. It’s about pre t Steve and he goes to a like dark magic military training thing? He ends up summoning Bucky and he’s not supposed to talk to him and they’re supposed to be treated as pets but Steve falls in love with him even though Bucky hides a lot of secrets. Can you help me out please? I barely remember it but it was my favorite and I’m sad

Also- Bucky ends up being one of the most dangerous types of... summoning things? I guess. There’s Tony and Sam as Steve’s best friends and there’s also a point where Steve leaves bucky alone while he goes to a Halloween party. Steve calls his mom whenever he can because he misses her- I really can go on and on about it I just cannot find it anywhere, HELP PLEASE

This one, maybe? If not, take a look at our Demon!Bucky tag or the suggestions in this post.

The Demon Bond by ValentineDevil (complete | 268813 | E)

Steve hadn’t known what to expect. Even with all his training he felt unprepared.

Any presumptions and expectations he did have went down the drain at the sight of him… of the demon with those ice-cold eyes that watched him. One blink and then the demon was upon him, metal arm wrapped around his throat, like a lion pawing at a mouse.

The cold fingers against his pulse didn’t hurt.

The demon portrayed no evil intent, choosing to wrap its shadows around Steve’s limbs as he leaned his human form closer to the cadet, pink lips ghosting over the shell of Steve’s ear as he breathed the human in.

[thestuckylibrary]

Do you have any fic where bucky is some sort of mythtical being (like vampire or smth), with the story still set in the MCU?

Here are some I found.

buachaill sciobail by silentwalrus (complete | 5,271 | unrated )

“Okay,” Sam says. “Okay. Alright. O-kay. I just, I gotta say, man, when you told me ‘Bucky is a selkie’ this is not… really…. what I… imagined.”“What did you imagine?” Steve says. Across his lap - or rather covering his entire body from the waist down - the eight hundred pound tube of blubber that is J.B. Barnes blows a snot bubble.

teach your man to fish* by silentwalrus (complete | 12,835 | T ) *sequel to buachaill sciobail 

Bucky doesn’t deign to stay in Stark Tower for much longer than it takes to completely clean out the kitchens’ fish supply. After slurping down the last oyster and sneering in disgust at the contents of the walk-in freezer, Bucky turns to Steve, pelt over his shoulder, and says, “Where do you live?”

Winter Gorgon by Quarra (complete | 74,067 | E ) 

For as long as Steve could remember, all he ever wanted to do was what was right. So when he hears about his father’s old regiment being held as POW’s by the Nazis, he’s determined to put what Doctor Erskine gave him to good use and goes AWOL to rescue them.

But the 107th isn’t all he finds there. Deep in the labs is a very unusual prisoner; one with snakes in his hair and a mask nailed to his face. Despite the man’s monstrous visage, Steve can’t in good conscience leave him to the enemy. That one act of mercy will change his life, the course of the war, and even the future of the world.

the sirens and the thunder by legete (complete | 15,748 | T ) 

“Hide that,” he says, forcing the words out past every instinct. “As well as you can, all right? Before morning.”

Steve stares at him blankly, like he needs a moment to work this out, then swallows once, sharply. “What’s your name?” he asks at last—asks as he stands there with the pelt in his hands.

And oh, he thinks suddenly, what is his name? He can’t speak it, not with this mouth, he can’t sing it into the air like he can in the ocean. He just shakes his head; like his nakedness, it’s something he can’t explain. Steve nods, just nods, his eye swelling shut and blood drying on his shirt collar, and says “we’ll figure it out.”

(An AU where Bucky is a young selkie who is accidentally called to Steve and ends up staying around to help this poor, wretched kid not die.)

Im looking for a fic i read once with dragon!bucky and human!steve and its not the one thats called smtg like the joy of the little things but its sort of the same idea? Steve is offered up to bucky as a tribute to save the town and bucky is in dragon form the whole fic. Its kind of explicit too lol

Treasured by Dira Sudis (dsudis), Sealcat (complete |24,609 | M)

When everyone in town became convinced that a dragon really had come again to the Old Lair, and that the town would have to offer it tribute, they all looked at Steve.

Honestly, he was relieved.

and the fic you mentioned, for anyone who is interested:

The Joy of Little Things by obsessivereader, Sealcat (complete |29,744 | E)

“Do you want me to eat you?”

“No, but—” Steve broke off his instinctive response. All his life, he’d believed in doing what was right… he was not about to stop now. Wincing at the prickling pain in his feet, he straightened up to his full height. “Yes. If it means you’ll leave this place.”

“But you don’t look very filling.” The tip of the dragon’s tail twitched. “I don’t suppose you’re a virgin?” he asked hopefully. “I’ve heard they taste better.”

[thestuckylibrary]

So I saw the swalloweds asks post and now I’m not sure if mine was swallowed or just didn’t get to you yet, so I’ll ask again :) I cannot remember the name of the fic or even really the plot, but I just remember there was this one scene that was like a Judgment Day thing where Bucky (and Steve I think) had to go in front of a council and they watch their lives and decide if they go to heaven or hell (I think) and Steve asks that Bucky takes his place so in the end they both get a second chance.

Thank you for letting us know you found it, I’m glad you got to read it again!

Crossroads by 74days (oneshot |7,428 | T)

Steve accidentally makes a deal with a demon called Buchanan, who keeps showing up… and then doesn’t leave.

Part 30 of Meet-Cute AU’s

[thestuckylibrary]

I wanted to rec Demonique by BetteNoire (WeAreWolves) . It’s the Fandom Trumps Hate fic I bid on, 4/6 chapters of a WIP, and it’s so, so good. (There’s tentacles and Bucky’s a demon, but there’s no non- or dub-con.) Thank you!

[thestuckylibrary]

For the anon who was after fics where one of the boys is the grim reaper or Death: All The Stars That We Can See by littleblackfox, with Bucky as Death, which is wonderful and doesn't get nearly enough love, and what the heck, I'll toss in my Bleached Bones and Fallen Snow, which has Steve as Death, cause I've always thought of them as companion pieces.

Thank you for writing in!

All The Stars That We Can See by littleblackfox

“You ever been to Coney Island?” 

Bleached Bones and Fallen Snow by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen)

When he chose to become Death he wasn’t sure exactly what it would mean. He didn’t realise he’d end up leaving humanity behind completely, forgetting all the ways he used to be human.

Forgetting, that was, until in the middle of a war, his power spreading itself like wings over the battlefields, he discovered one particular human it was impossible to stay away from. Brave, fascinating, irresistible: again and again, he kept coming back to Bucky. Bucky, who was never afraid of him, who seemed content to walk in Death’s shadow.

If he’d known where it would lead him, where it would lead both of them, he would have tried harder to resist.

(A First Avenger/ Winter Soldier AU where Steve is Death.)
