Sneak Peek: Shipping and Handling Ch 1

SERIES MASTERLIST | HAND(S) OFF MASTER | STORY LINK

Story Summary: Whether it's fair or not, you and Steve are chemically linked. The circumstances may have been unusual, but they aren't impossible to replicate, meaning there could be other couples going through the same thing. Dr. Bruce Banner has asked the two of you to submit to a series of tests over a period of weeks, tests that are meant to keep the side-effects you're experiencing at a minimum, but which also mean you'll be seeing more of each other.

As the days pass, two things become clear: proximity doesn't lift the ardor as much as Banner expected... and though you try to keep it to themselves, both you and Steve feel just as emotionally drawn to each other as you are physically. Are those feelings also prompted by Mistress? Is there any way to figure it out ethically? Will the new way you're both seeing Bucky make things worse... or better?

Length/Warnings: snippet is 530 / this is a horny (but not sexual) snippet, minors DNI

The guy at the security counter calls the apartment with a dubious expression that makes you worried about just how much like a vagabond you look, but eventually nods and directs you to an elevator.

“He’ll meet you in the hallway,” the man says, leaning into the elevator car once you’ve boarded to call out a code phrase you don’t recognize. He gives you one last once-over and adds, “It changes every week.”

When the door closes, your imperfect reflection in the silver coating has you scrambling to adjust the moist cling of your blouse on your breasts. Unkempt twists of hair are glued to your cheeks and forehead with perspiration, and you’d completely forgot that for an easy ego boost, you always apply performance-quality red lipstick for final rehearsal.

In short, the security guy had a point.

The doors open before you get a chance for a last once-over after your adjustments. The best you can do is a weird crossed-arms stance with your hands spread wide to obscure just how lovingly your damp red top is cupping your assets.

Thankfully, the man standing in the hallway is Bucky Barnes.

You rush out, dropping your hands to gesture at yourself with one as you laugh into the other. “Do you see this?” you ask, eyes wide. “I guess I’m lucky the guard downstairs didn’t call the cops instead of the apartment!”

Bucky trails his piercing blue eyes along your outfit, his expression impassive. For the first time ever in his presence, you feel a little objectified, but you shake that off. After all, you told him to look-- and given the growing appreciation in his gaze, he’s at least giving you a bit of a self-esteem boost. When Bucky’s finished, having followed through by taking in your pencil skirt and crimson sandals with his head tipped to the side, he finally looks you in the eyes.

“Nice toenail polish,” he smirks.

“I don’t know why I put up with you,” you gripe under your breath. “Please tell me you have a shirt I can borrow? They still have the heat on at the venue, Babs is tearing out her hair. If the forecast is right about how hot it’ll be tomorrow night, we’ll have to hand out free cups of ice to keep an audience.”

“Yeah, but we got a gauntlet to run before that,” he tells you. The apartment door’s open, and he stands to the side, gesturing for you to precede him.

“If it’s related to another set of metal doors and a scary British man telling me to hide, I’ll just walk home, spring heatwave or not.”

“She’s here?” Steve says from inside. He comes out right as you walk over, and both of you stop within inches of each other. “You’re late,” he says-- but the tone of his voice is the exact same stressed, desperate, needy one you’ve tried not to fondly remember. The words, ‘Oh, Steve, if you’re going for ‘stern,’ be careful! hover up as a possible response, but you can’t imagine saying them in anything other than your flirty lounge singer persona, and that would cross too many lines, especially today.

Fic Writers’ Week | Day 7 (pt. 3)

Fic-recs!

This is 1 of 3 fic-recs I’ll be doing in honour of today’s theme (bc I can’t narrow down my favourite fics, haha). These recs are some of my fave non-Stucky fics. Includes reader-insert + others. 

Note: If you want more recs like this from me, I also have a fic-rec link somewhere on my desktop theme.

Incubus by @after-avenging-hours

If you haven’t read this fic, you’re honestly missing out on some quality Bucky x reader smut. Bonus: the plot in this is fucking phenomenal. 

Russian Lovers by @after-avenging-hours

True fact: chapters 8 and 9 of one of my fics (I Know This Game) was loosely based on the ending of this one. That’s how much I loved it y’all -- it inspired me to write.

seven signs by @sanjariti

tbh, i wanted to put down every single one of caro’s fics, bc they’re all amazing, but i managed to restrain myself to just the one (though i highly recommend you read her entire masterlist). This one, for whatever reason, just sticks in my head. Bucky x Reader, featuring some Quality™ prose.

~ BUCKY BARNES / STEVE ROGERS ~

Decades Dance by @marvelous-fvcks

If you like Stucky x reader threesomes -- this fic has you covered. Also features quite a bit of angst, but once you push past that, you’re in Stucky x reader heaven. 

CHRIS EVANS / SEBASTIAN STAN

Drinking Games by @emilyevanston

RPF. This is one of my so-called ‘comfort reads’. Sure, the first half is really angsty and I kinda want to bitch slap both Seb and Chris (especially Chris), but then the threesome sex makes everything better. What a plot, this one has. 

~ CHRIS EVANS ~

The Boy Next Door by @emilyevanston

Ooooh this one. This is a good one. Chris Evans x reader, in which you get pregnant with his kid. Chris only discovers this 10 years later. Such an enthralling read. 

Outnumbered (1) (2) by @avaalons

Dad!Chris Evans x Reader, in which Chris kind-of forgets to do his daddy duties. How does he make it up to you? Well...that’s for you to discover ;) Hint hint: part 2 is really NSFW.

~ SEBASTIAN STAN ~

Co-star by @plumfondler

Featuring Seb x OC -- this one is just...indescribably amazing. Slow, sloooow build, featuring much sexual tension and a mind-blowingly good plot, but when the smut kicks in? You’re gonna need some holy water. 

shameless and often by @bookybuns

Cute but also fucking hot Stripper!Seb. Need I say anything else?

FROM AO3

We Are Giants (WIP)

Oh. Oh my heart. A Steve/Bucky/Reader fic from the WW2 era. It’s endearingly sweet....until the angst kicks in. 

Evolution

Stucky x Reader, featuring: bomb-ass smut, Steve the bumbling idiot, a hell of a lot of angst, and a pregnancy.

I’m Burning Up

Ok, this one is actually hilarious. Omega!Reader, Alpha!Bucky and an insane heat/rut experience. Like, I actually had to take breaks whilst reading because I was cackling too much.

Pieces Of Us

tw: rape. A Seb x OC fic. My best piece of advice with this one? Persevere. Get through the angst and heartbreak (and unfortunately, there’s quite a lot of angst) because it’ll all be worth it in the end. The ending you want is the ending you’ll get.
