Piece by Piece

This is an entirely self-indulgent Bucky-recovery fic that follows Bucky from his time as the Asset in CA:WS (mostly canon compliant until very end) to him recovering himself while in the Tower with lots of Avengers support/love. Chapter 1 is all CA:WS from Bucky’s POV - it’s written in a slightly different style than the rest of the fic to showcase Bucky’s mindset, just as a heads up. Chapter 2 is when the divergence happens.

This is inspired by the delightful artwork by @skullfragments (see chapter 9) - I immediately loved the art piece and knew I wanted to write what was clearly a fun/happy moment between Steve/Bucky (with Alpine in the background, thinking these humans are idiots). I’m apparently a sadist though because I decided to make them earn their happiness first. Angst with a happy ending - my specialty. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it <3 And thank you again to skullfragments, not just for the great art but for reading along the way and letting me bounce ideas off of you! It was such a fun/collaborative experience working with you!

Summary below:

Steve and Bucky are discovered on the bank of the Potomac & brought to Stark Tower. From the beginning, everyone has one thing on their mind: Help Bucky. It’s going to be hard, but they're ready to give it everything they’ve got - and they’re the Avengers, so they’ve got quite a lot.

***

“Hey, Buck,” Steve says, his voice soft. Bucky lays on his side, pressing a cheek to the soft carpeting, wishing he hadn’t ruined all his blankets. He hates feeling cold and it’s a little cold in his room. “You don’t have to talk or come out or anything, but… I’m going to lay here, okay? All night. I’m going to stay right here so you don’t forget that it’s different now. So you don't forget that you’re safe. You’re not alone.”

Bucky doesn’t know what to say to that. Even if he did know, his tongue is doing that heavy-sticky thing again. Instead, he slides his flesh fingers under the crack in the door, barely able to fit the tips, and waits. A moment passes. Then Steve’s fingers are pressing right back.

And maybe Steve is right. Maybe things are different, maybe he is safe, maybe he’s not alone.

Maybe - just maybe - he’ll be able to get himself back after all, piece by piece.

I was so excited to hear lynlee494 ideas for this fic and it just kept getting better and better. I'm always a sucker for Alpine in a fic, plus recovery fics/Bucky getting his memories back fics - and this fic has all of that, plus some other lovely tropes (There's even some Clint love, and anyone who knows me knows I'm a sucker for Clint content - ESPECIALLY Matt Fraction Clint, which this is). I squealed, cried, yelled, cheered, cried some more, etc, etc. while reading this, it was so good! Just the perfect mix of angst/feels with healing/happiness. <3 I couldn't stop making extra art for it, which is saying a lot for anyone who knows the amount of stuff on my plate lol - I suggest you check it out, it's so so lovely!!!

The Soldier flips to the next page in the pamphlet and freezes, breakfast churning in his stomach.

In the photo stands a small, golden haired man with sharp features, narrow shoulders and a strong jaw. A military issued uniform hangs loose on the tickly frame as he stares at the camera, chin jutted up and face stern. Defiant. The Soldier’s chest grows tight...he knows that face.

Something about the man is renewing, like a fresh breeze after a mission casting away the smoke and stench of charred meat, filtering the gunpowder and sour scent of spilled entrails.

The Soldier tears his eyes from the picture to read the caption. Steven Grant Rogers.

The Soldier is unable to leave the small, battered creature to freeze in the alley. Knows what awaits the kitten should his handler find it. So he dares to flee Hydra despite knowing that it is simply a matter of time before he is recaptured.

As the Soldier puts more time between him and his prior captors, he is assaulted by dreams and memories, all of which point towards there being more to his connection with Steven Grant Rogers than what is in the museum.

That there is more to the enemy of Hydra, Captain America. *** This work is part of the Stucky Reverse Bang, and the amazing art in the fic is by @taybay14 ! Thank you @endlesswanted for beta'ing the story ❤️ Please let us know what you think, I hope you enjoy!

Here's another one of the fics inspired by my art! This week is heaven for me - so much good Stucky content, some of it inspired by my own stuff <3 Check it out!

Til the End of the Line

Written for the Stucky Reverse Bang 2024 hosted by @stuckybangs

Based off the amazing artwork by Taybay14 / @taybay14 (coming in Chapter 5!)

Summary: Back home after their first tour, the Avengers are getting ready to record their second album - they just have to write it first. Leader singer, Bucky Barnes, struggles to write a song that's not about his childhood best friend, the drummer of the band, Steve Rogers. The problem is, Steve has no idea how Bucky feels about him. When another childhood friend starts leaning on Steve, Bucky must decide if it's time to let his crush go, or to finally be brave and let Steve know how he feels. Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting; Alternate Universe - Rock Band; Rock Stars; Singer Bucky Barnes; Drummer Steve Rogers; Pining; Friends to Lovers

This week is my first ever Stucky (or any Marvel/Bucky Barnes-related) event and I'm SO EXCITED to share my art/writing with all of you. First up is this lovely piece written by SquadOfCats for my art with Steve giving Bucky a bubble bath. This fic will both make you laugh and tug right at your heartstrings. The antics Bucky gets up to are lovely to witness - especially because it means he's being selfish/doing things to get what he secretly wants, and that makes me happy because Bucky Barnes deserves nice things. Give the fic a read - you won't be disappointed <3

Characters who lowkey canonically ship Stucky

Natasha ( "I know how much he means to you")

Sam ("when do we start")

Sharon ("Mr. America")

T'Challa (literally everything he's done for them)

Shuri (definitely gave Bucky the makeover to impress Steve in IW)

Erskine (chose Steve after seeing him argue with his bf)

Rumlow ("your pal, your buddy, your bucky")

Zemo (the whole premise of his evil plan)

[taybay14]

I received a comment saying that the function of that strap over Bucky's chest is to drag him over for a kiss, so yes.
