Title: i've got a lot to pine about

Type of work (art/fic/etc): fic

Pairings/Characters: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes

Rating: M 

Giftee: @controlofwhatido

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary: Bucky loves Christmas, always has. Steve, however, his friend and fellow medical resident, struggles a little more during the holidays, especially now he doesn't have any family left. Bucky does his best to try to cheer him up a little and make sure that Steve will feel some of the holiday cheer. Thing is though, they're not just friends or colleagues. They've been hooking up for months, almost a year, and Bucky isn't sure how he's going to keep his feelings to himself for much longer. Because to him, this thing they have stopped being something casual a long time ago.

A very Christmassy fic, with holiday decorations, presents, ice skating, lewd Christmas sweaters, and two idiots in love. I hope you enjoy!

Title: Burn To Shine

Type of work (art/fic/etc): Fic

Pairings/Characters: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes

Rating: M

Giftee: bangyababy

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Angst/Trauma

Summary: Bucky is the much-beleaguered and long-suffering owner of a coffee shop which gets frequented by too many gym bros.

One day -- when Bucky's already annoyed (which may or may not be his factory setting) -- an annoying blond guy walks in and proceeds to annoy the eff out of Bucky, which causes Bucky to make some supremely annoyed snap judgments.

None of which are his fault, really, when his whole life is annoying.

So it comes as a complete surprise when there's more to this guy than meets the eye. Bucky may have to eat his words.

Rating: G

Giftee: cable-knit-sweater

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary: 

Bucky and Sam are therapists at the VA, where Bucky is in charge of decorating their floor for holiday events this December. A new soldier shows up to help him decorate each week, and sure he's kind of quiet, but it's early in the morning so Bucky doesn't think twice about it. That's all well and fine, except that soldier is Steve, who innocently lies about his identity to Bucky, not thinking he would run into him more than once. And oh yeah, Steve does attend those events, just in uniform as Captain America. Can he find a way to unravel his lie to Bucky and start something with him worthy of the holiday romcoms Sam loves so much?

Title: late december with my heart in my chest and the clouds of my breath

Type of work (art/fic/etc): Fic

Pairings/Characters: Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, Wanda Maximoff, Sam Wilson, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Pepper Potts

Rating: E

Giftee:  aimmyarrowshigh

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary: Wanda is already in the kitchen when Steve and Bucky finally make it up to the common area, so he makes his way there while Steve heads to one of the couches, where Natasha and Clint are. Bucky can see them string popcorn and cranberries into a garland, which he assumes is going to go on the half decorated tree in the corner.

It reminds Bucky of the few times he and Steve did the same thing when that was the only thing they could afford to make the apartment more festive. Bucky remembers having saved for weeks to be able to buy the nicest cranberries he could find. It’s funny, how Bucky always cared more about giving Steve an amazing Christmas than he ever did about Hanukkah and his own family traditions.

There’s a menorah on the TV stand, which makes Bucky smile, and there are a few dreidel ornaments laying on the coffee table, waiting to be hung on the tree. Bucky hasn’t had anyone to share this part of his life with in such a long time, not since he traded Brooklyn for the battlefield back in 1943. He doesn’t think there is anyone better to share his heritage with than Wanda Maximoff.

Rating: T

Giftee: burning_brighter

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary: 

The number of people who will be crowded into the Common Room makes Bucky’s skin feel too tight.

“I don’t think I want to go.”

“Well, that’s okay, Buck.” Steve’s eyebrows draw in the middle like it’s not actually. “I don’t want you to feel unsafe.” He pauses. “Do you mind if I still go?”

“Why would you go?” Bucky does mind, a little. He likes being alone with Steve better than being alone without him. “You aren’t Jewish.”

Type of work (art/fic/etc): Fic

Pairings/Characters:  James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov/Sam Wilson

Rating: E

Giftee: liloau

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Summary: 

Bucky’s not sure what they are to each other, but he’s positive living with Steve is a good decision. Maybe what they do behind closed doors is questionable, but being bros just means making the other feel good whenever the tension becomes too much.
