#breakup [category - ongoing]

Updated: Aug 2

where a breakup is a major plot point, usually followed by getting back together


Summary: Steve's students don't believe him when he says he's dating international rockstar and heartthrob Bucky Barnes, but he is, and has been since they were sixteen. (A Captain America Reverse Big Bang 2017 collaboration between mambo and ellebeesknees.)

 

Summary: Bucky should have known Brock was a total asshole, but he certainly wasn't expecting him to cheat on him - and then steal his laptop! Stealing it back was the only option he had, really.

 

Summary: Bucky stares at the papers in front of him, not daring to look up. In front of him read: No Fault Divorce Form. It was all filled out in his name, as plaintiff. Defendant; Steven Grant Rogers. “So that’s it?” He has to confirm. “Pretty much,” Natasha replies. “He can contest it. He can refuse it. You can also never show him. Doesn’t have to matter.” Bucky nods. Doesn’t have to matter. Doesn’t have to matter that he went to his best friend and colleague to have divorce papers drawn out, all in proper legal jargon, because he’s been thinking about divorce for months and months and told no one. Not even his husband. ----- Bucky and Steve have been together all their lives. Bucky thought they would have made it, that they were the other half of the statistics. He thought they would have found their way to each other in the end. Life is funny like that sometimes.

 

Summary: Steve and Bucky break up, but they still can't seem to stop falling into bed with each other. It's all fun and games until they get some news that changes both of their lives forever.

 

Summary: Steve's perfectly happy with his and Bucky's friends-with-benefits arrangement until Bucky abruptly ends it. And Steve's fine. Honestly, he's totally fine.

 

Summary: Steve is taking the night train home, having had the worst night of his life after his girlfriend rejects his proposal. He doesn't expect the kind stranger a few seats away to be worried about him. ----- Steve felt numb as he waited for his train to arrive. He sat on the cold metal bench, feeling the chill in the November air, shoulders slumped over as they had been for the last twenty minutes. But it wasn’t the cold making him numb. No, everything else in his life had just come crashing down and he couldn’t process it. So he sat there, barely thinking anything except ‘how could this have happened’, waiting crestfallen and alone.

 

Summary: The thing is, Bucky Barnes would have waited forever for Steve Rogers. He thinks he could have handled it. If only Steve had just compromised a little. But the thing is, he never did. And Bucky has to finally be strong, because they can't keep going like this. He can't. So he leaves. And now he's just left with memories. ----- Steve clenches his jaw and goes for the box, unfolding the top flaps to see what’s inside. And what’s inside is…well, it somehow feels like all the oxygen leaves the room as he sees what’s inside. Because it’s his things and clothes and trinkets and memories. Things he left at Bucky’s place. Things he gave Bucky. Things Bucky treasured. Shoved into a box haphazardly. Steve swallows as he stares at the items in the box, because suddenly this all makes sense and it’s the kind of sense that makes Steve feel a little like he’s dying. “D-did he say anything else?” he asks, voice cracking. “Bucky?” he clarifies. “When he was here?” “Yes, Captain,” Friday answers. “He said to say goodbye.”

 

Summary: In 2012, Steve is a man out of time, trying to battle his demons and build a life in a new century when he meets Bucky, an FDNY Lieutenant helping with cleanup and rescue after the Battle of New York. In 2014, Bucky is a fire Captain, trying to get his life back on track after a rough break up with his super soldier boyfriend. Going back and forth between past and present, see how they fall in love, how their relationship falls apart and how it inevitably falls back into place.

 

Summary: “You’re not dancing,” Bucky chides, a crooked tilt to his grin softening the edge of his teasing glare. “Come on, Stevie, our kid got hitched today. And Cassie ain’t so bad, Pietro coulda done worse for himself.” It’s the Stevie that gives him away, and Steve clucks his tongue in mock reprimand. Bucky hasn’t called him Stevie in over ten years—at least not when he’s sober. Faced with his kid’s wedding, a twinkling secluded grove, and an ex-husband fresh off the dance floor, Steve Rogers can’t help but reflect on the road that’s led him here.

 

Summary:

Several times, his coworkers had asked what his husband did for work. Bucky hadn’t been able to tell them because he didn’t know himself. Not all of it, anyway. Just his title and its dangers, and he couldn’t even share that.

“I can’t do it anymore, Steve. I can’t watch you leave and then wait hoping that you come home.”

Steve’s face had gone even paler and his grip on Bucky’s hand was vice-like. “What are you saying?”

Bucky’s heart pounded a violent tattoo beneath his chest. He knew what he needed to say, but he didn’t know if he’d be able to. There was a reason he hadn’t before. But he thought of Steve laying in hospital beds, tubes and wires attached to him and machines blinking. He’d seen the rhythm of Steve’s heart so many times he could picture it when he heard it.

“Captain America or me, Steve. You can’t have both. Not anymore.”

*Or, after seven years of marriage, the boys get divorced

 

Summary:

Bucky is just a regular guy. He works as a nurse, lives in a moderate Brooklyn apartment with his pet cat, oh, and he once dated Captain fucking America. After a pretty rough breakup over a year ago, he's been re-adjusting to regular life, with only a moderate amount of success. But what little progress he had made goes straight out of the window when Steve shows up at his door, and the two of them are finally forced to confront their feelings.
