Summary: While on a mission in Canada, the Asset suddenly finds himself free. He follows his partner, the giant wolfhound, because he doesn’t know what else to do. The two end up in the United States, and as his memories begin to return, his need for vengeance grows. Together, they take out hidden HYDRA bases and safehouses across North America. What they find in one base, however, will change everything Bucky ever thought he knew about his time in captivity.
Summary: Steve Rogers runs a successful business. He has great friends and a great life. It seems like he has it all. So why is he sitting in a diner on a Friday night alone? Maybe he's just a little lonely. Maybe Bucky Barnes can help with that. ----- It wasn’t just how he looked. Of course, the fact that he was ridiculously stunning was what Steve had noticed first when he’d spotted him across the diner and had left him staring with his mouth open before he’d realised what he was doing, but how could he not?... Or: basically everything I love in a Steve and Bucky fic rolled into one.
Summary: It’s only when they’re on opposite sides of the country attending University that our beloved boneheads realise how head over heels for each other they are. It’s true, after all, that you never know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone. Steve’s pining from New York, terrified to make a move and lose the person that means the most to him, while Bucky’s been planning a birthday present to himself– one that’s been over a decade in the making. Will Bucky have the courage after all? Will Steve risk the possible loss to see if Bucky feels the same way he does?
Summary: (Aka The Contest) If Bucky were honest with himself, and he frequently was, jerking off daily was really doing wonders for his mood. Aside from all the laundry he had to do from cum-stained sheets, the soreness in his knees from bearing down before he came, and the slight redness across that spot on his dick that sent him over, everything was fine. (Everything was not fine.)
Summary: Steve is a wedding photographer in need of an assistant. Bucky is unemployed and in need of a job. Sam and Natasha, in what turns out to be a successful attempt to solve both problems, arrange an introduction. In a moment of frustrated brilliance, Bucky sets Steve on the path to incredible popularity and the two of them--and their relationship--on the path to complete obliviousness.
Summary: Bucky Barnes just wanted a good one-night stand. It didn't even have to be great, though he'd had high hopes hot Steve would be fantastic. He's hugely disappointed. And Steve seems to really like him, so now he's stuck trying to let him down gently and hoping he never sees him again. Of course, the universe has other plans. ----- But it’s okay, he thinks, trying to convince himself, as Steve plants a kiss to his cheek and tells him to sleep well, flicking off the lamp. It’s nice to be cuddled sometimes—Bucky basically never gets cuddled—and the bed’s pretty comfy. He’ll just leave in the morning. No big deal. They may have died a sexual death, but Steve’s a sweetheart regardless and Bucky can’t bring himself to be an asshole. This is just more polite.
Summary: Bucky Barnes has recently moved to New York and things are looking up. He's got a great new job working for Tony Stark, he has a nice apartment, and his boyfriend Peter is fun. He just needs some friends. Unfortunately Steve Rogers doesn't seem to want to be just friends. ----- The train jerked suddenly and Bucky accidentally bumped into a broad chest. He looked up from where he’d been looking at the floor, to find its owner, a tall blond man, who’d put his hand on Bucky’s shoulder to steady him. “Sorry,” Bucky mumbled. The dude just smiled and let go of him. Bucky went back to looking at his own feet.
Summary: “But stop banging on the buttons,” Steve continues, unaware of Bucky’s inner plight. “It’s not their fault. How’d you like it if I was banging on you?” “Yes, please.” The words are past his lips before he can even think about stopping them, and he slaps his free hand over his mouth, eyes wide as he stares up at Steve. “Oh really?” One eyebrow quirks and Steve’s scent spikes, a spicier tone starting to fill the air between them. “Something you want to tell me, Buck?” *** When Steve rescues one of the Avenger’s chief technicians, he doesn’t know that he’s been injected with some temporary truth serum. But on the elevator ride up to the med bay, confessions lead to a whole lot more than either of them expected.
Summary: Tempting fate or not—Bucky found it a tad overdramatic of the universe to respond by sending an army of aliens to invade New York. Turns out, the universe was one dramatic bitch. Bucky Barnes is having a bad day—as is most of New York—and it doesn’t exactly improve when some yahoo in patriotic spandex crashes into his workshop. But then the yahoo returns, and he’s both very familiar and nothing like Bucky expected.
Summary: Bucky couldn’t stop thinking about Steve’s hands. They’d been big even as a little guy, so dexterous and strong and always careful, always deliberate. Always calloused in different places from his—especially where he’d grip his pencils, holding them tighter the fiercer his concentration became until he had to take breaks to do his little exercises and massage his palms, shake his wrists out. Bucky has wanted something for a long time. Steve gives it to him, wholeheartedly.
This is a Filthy Stucky Book Club Recommended Fic
Summary: “He specifies what he wants you know. Male Omega. Big, male Omega. I heard from Cassie that there are agencies who can’t supply him any more.” “Can’t, or won’t?” Bucky asks absently, still reading…the menu looks amazing, four options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with tick boxes and instructions to make two choices in each category. Plus options for snacks, and Bucky can tick as many as he likes in that category. “Both. Either. You know there’s only so many male Omega, and then to find the beefy ones on top of that? Clive says he’s not gonna go back.” “Yeah well, Clive’s a-” “Do not finish that sentence Barnes.”
Summary: Steven Grant Rogers might have lost his virginity during the USO tours, but it sure as hell wasn't to a woman.

Summary: “You look like you could use this.” Bucky looked up from the stained wood of the bar in time to see the blond bartender slide a new beer in front of him. “Do I look that bad?” The man shrugged. “I’ve seen worse.” He chuckled. “But I’ve also seen better.” Or, Bucky goes to the bar and meets Steve Rogers, and obviously, they fall in love Or, Or, Happy Birthday to the most wonderful dontcallmebree

Summary: Steve's determined to find Bucky. Even if it means following him to the coldest places on earth. “You gonna scream if I move this hand?” Bucky murmurs, breath ghosting over the shell of Steve’s ear and Steve has to stop himself from shuddering before he shakes his head. Bucky’s hand slowly drops to the mattress in front of Steve so that his arm is still draped over Steve’s torso. “What are you doing here, Steve?” “I could ask you the same thing,” Steve say, voice thick with sleep and Bucky hums, unimpressed. “You know what I’m doing here, Buck, what do you want me to say?” “I want you to say you’re being an idiot and you’ll stop following me,” Bucky says. “Not gonna happen,” Steve whispers. “I’ll admit I’m an idiot but I’m not giving up on you.”
Summary: Steve has been working undercover as a member of the STRIKE team headed by Rumlow in an attempt to investigate the whispered rumors of HYDRA activity and infiltration into SHIELD.

Summary: So, a blonde and a brunette walk into a bar… ***************************** “Steve, I’ve had a great time talking with you. But I don’t really know why I even came here and… I don’t want to waste more of your time. I’m sorry.” “You can waste my time,” Steve’s eyes soften. “As much as you want. I don’t really do this much these days but I just… You’re so pretty, Buck. And you’re sweet and I really wanna know how that whiskey tastes on your lips.” Okay, so maybe Bucky can do one more one-night stand.
Summary: “Your subscribers seem nice,” Bucky says, interrupting the silence that had settled over them. Steve rubs a hand over his face. “Yeah, they’re pretty cool,” Steve says, sitting down next to Bucky. “Should I tell them about us or just let them keep guessing?” Bucky grins mischievously. “Yes.” (aka a secret relationship/youtube AU starring Steve as a violinist and Bucky as his hot mystery boyfriend)
Summary: They drink in silence until Barnes turns to Steve and asks, “Hey, you know Photon Avenger?” “Yeah. Mark-2, the first one ever made. Yukon perimeter patrol.” Barnes nods to where two women are sitting with their heads close together over a table. “Danvers and Rambeau. Shuri once told me theirs is the strongest drift connection she’s ever seen; that when they fight, it’s not like two minds melding into one, they just… are one, to begin with. Completely in sync.” He swirls the drink in his glass before draining it. “I never had that, with Carter. I mean, we were good together, really good, but I think it only happens when… y’know.” The thing is, Steve does know.
Summary: “Yeah, because nothing says heteronormative like living in Dupont Circle for two years and wearing skin-tight shirts to hit on hot airmen when you go running in the morning.” “Look, I know you’re being sarcastic but I really don’t get how no one picked up on that.” Steve and Bucky try to work out their relationship. The Avengers keep getting in the way.
Summary: Bucky’s daily circuit, without fail, takes him to the small plot of land where Steve is buried. Brooklyn’s ghostly ruins are the perfect setting for the once proud tombstone, now battered and sloping from wind and grit. Sometime in the future, Earth has been left uninhabitable after a long alien war. The few humans remaining fled to the skies, leaving only Bucky Barnes behind to monitor the dying planet. Then, a very much alive Steve Rogers crash lands at his front door. Written for the Cap Big Bang 2018. Art by superhumandisasters and angeolras.

Summary: The adrenaline that comes from a fight is nice, but watching people die or come close to it is a real damper on a guy’s mentality no matter how much he enjoys trying to do the right thing. Saving the day can’t work every day. That’s the price that has to be paid by those who try. It’s days like these where Steve really starts to wonder how high the price is when it comes to the disconnect between doing what’s right for everyone else and doing what’s right for him. (alternatively: steve has a rough day. bucky helps give it a good ending. there’s a back massage and some bengay involved.)
Summary: Steve Rogers, CEO of Stark Industries, dominates in the boardroom. He’s every bit as intimidating and impressive as the whispers lead people to believe.

In the small apartment he shares with his boyfriend Bucky, he’s anything but in charge.
Summary: There would come a day when Sam Wilson could no longer put off a complete debriefing session with his Momma. On that day, Sam hoped to escape the conversation alive by glossing over 'following a juiced-up supersoldier on a brainwashed assassin's revenge tour' in favor of 'convincing a traumatized war hero to come in from the cold with the power of Wilson family recipes.'
Summary: He swallows hard, struggling with himself one last time and losing. “I need your help,” he manages to whisper, voice cracking. The air in the room immediately changes. The wound up tension drains out of Steve, his posture and voice going soft. “Sure, Buck,” he says, cautiously moving back toward him. Bucky can’t move, his arms locked tight around his knees, and he can’t lift his gaze higher than Steve’s knees either. Steve pauses when he’s still a few feet away, squatting down and angling his head in an effort to see Bucky’s face through the curtain of his hair. “Anything. What do you need?” It’s everything Bucky can do to hold still, every cell in his body vibrating with the need to throw himself into Steve’s arms. He opens his mouth, but his throat sticks and he has to swallow again before he can force the words out. Slowly, by sheer force of will, he drags his gaze up to meet Steve’s eyes. “I need you to fuck me.”
Summary: Steve gave Bucky what he hoped was his best 'I'm Captain America, I'm better than that' stare and signed the form. He would not have an erection during the naked yoga session.

Because they need to send a message: If you threaten the world, we'll protect it. If you threaten us, there's no one who can protect you. Steve and the Avengers go on a rampage, destroying the kidnapper's base and rescuing Bucky before his mind can be stolen from him again. And once Steve gets Bucky back in his arms, he promises to take him home for good.
Summary: “What is the music?” Steve asks. “That? Oh, just the warp and weft of Creation as it births itself, moment by moment,” the pale man says, cocks his head at Steve and smiles a crooked little half-smile, and— “Teach me,” Steve says, and the man grins. An urban historical fantasy AU in which Steve Rogers' Da is an immortal sorcerer from another world. This changes some things some things a Hell of a lot, and some things not at all. Or: sorcery, sex, soldiering, spy craft and shapeshifting.
Summary: Finally free from the grips of Hydra, Bucky Barnes needs all the help he can get to acclimate to life in the twenty-first century. Steve's always at Bucky's side, providing support, explaining things, and throwing a reassuring arm around his shoulders, which gives Bucky all kinds of warm feelings.

"Like I said, better than the real thing" “Jesus Christ, Buck" Steve groans into the back of the brunette's neck. Or Bucky being a teasing little shit.
Summary: If you said Steve Rogers has the scariest boyfriend on the planet, most of the Avengers would agree with you. Not all of them, but most of them.

Summary:
It was every horse person’s secret dream, to be close to another in such motion. Even with the saddle chaperone, preventing pelvis from grinding against pelvis, there was no mistaking the tingle in Steve’s neck that indicated a low-grade type of want. Riding a horse was indeed just like fucking, and just then, Steve’s imagination went all the way there. All the way to sexual partners.
The filly jerked her head, and the full width of Bucky’s chest pressed to Steve’s back, large fingers spread wide, slipping more securely around his abdomen. Sending desire through every nerve including his teeth.
“Guess we know now,” Bucky said calmly, as if he wasn’t close enough to breathe directly into Steve’s ear.
“Yeah. Guess we do.”
