Where professional, or semi-professional sports is a focus and/or major plot point
Summary: It’s mortifying, the way Steve’s desperate whimpers and bone-deep groans are pinballing off the tile with such force, they can’t not be spilling out into the gym. It doesn’t matter that the rest of the team filtered out a half hour ago and there’s no one around to hear it; Bucky is knocking loose sounds from behind Steve’s clenched teeth that he’s sure must be echoing all the way across campus. It’s fucking reckless, and Steve’s burning pure kerosene in his veins for it.
Summary: Steve and Bucky end up playing for rival college football teams.

Enter Bucky Barnes, who doesn’t seem to take the sport quite as seriously despite his raw and enviable talent. Steve hates him. Bucky doesn’t care. That makes Steve hate him more. - aka: the Olympics swimming AU that nobody but me asked for
Summary: “What should I call you then?” Steve asked, taking another step as his eyes roamed over Bucky’s body. “Honey?” He asked in a silky voice. “Baby?” Was… was Steve Rogers, Captain of the Massachusetts Rugby Team, winner of ten US Cups, the literal epitome of a silver fox, actually flirting with him? “Sweetheart?” Steve continued and Bucky released a shaky breath. Steve’s smile grew and his eyes flicked to Bucky’s lips. “You like that, huh?” He stood in Bucky’s space, biting his lip and crowding even closer. “Like being called sweet things?” Bucky’s first season with the New York Rugby Club has come to an end, and he thought the adventure was over until next season. That was, at least, before Steve Rogers - Bucky’s walking wet dream - came strolling into the locker room, giving him all sorts of mixed signals.
Summary: Steve was a bit weirded out that this random stranger, who knew just how he wiggled his elbow from his college days, had somehow found him in a batting cage in Nowhere Fucking Michigan. The man rubbed his nose again and then adjusted his cap under the helmet. “I bet you think I’m some crazy stalker, huh?” Bucky had to tell him. He had to. "That's not how it happened. I asked to be assigned here." Steve's eyes flashed up at him, concern furrowed his brow. "Why the hell would you ask to be shipped to this god-forsaken hell hole?" Did he really not know? Had he not figured it out? Maybe Nat was right; the man who refused to give up had given up. "Steven Grant Rogers. I've been trying to find a way to contact you for years.” Stucky Week 2021 Prompt 5 #ModernAU
Summary: Steve was Steve. He was Captain America, son of Sarah Rogers, lover of the Brooklyn Dodgers, lover of the New York Americans, the heart of the Avengers, relatively normal-ish. Though those changed didn’t they? Dodgers play out in the West, the Americans were disbanded after the Rangers took over MSG, and as Steve got more in his head, the Avengers noticed how he wasn’t acting himself. Bucky was Bucky. Hockey extraordinaire, captain of the New York Howling Commandos, lover of sports and his teammates, steady-headed relatively usually. Bucky just wants some peace, and to make it out of this new season in one piece, preferably with a few new records and trophies along the way. But what happens when a lucky rink mix-up brings the two together? Steve doesn’t want to admit he likes the smirk of the cute guy at the ice rink, but chaos and hockey ensue.
Summary: Steve has never been great at making friends. Going to a football camp to increase his chances of getting into a good college freaks him out a little - not so much because of the pressure put on him, but mostly because he feels like he’s not gonna fit in, and will have the longest summer of his life. It ends up feeling unfairly short, when he meets one Bucky Barnes, the most gorgeous guy he’s ever met.

Summary: “This is a ball,” Steve says in a long, condescending drawl. He holds up a yellow fuzzy sphere in his left hand before lifting up the object in his right. “And this is a racket. You put them together and tennis happens.” He slowly puts the two objects together and then apart, a dumb look on his face as he does, like Bucky’s a child and he’s just humoring him. They stare at each other, quietly seething before Steve spins on his heel and walks down the court. — Tennis-pro Steve Rogers is annoyingly paired up with actor Bucky Barnes for a charity tennis Pro-Am. Oh boy.

Summary: This is supposed to be Steve's year. He's meant to be taking his team to finals. He's meant to get signed to his dream club. He's meant to have it all. Until in walks the new kid, with his beautiful face and his tiny shoulders and his long hair and his graceful skating. Who doesn’t look anything like a proper hockey player. Who's going to ruin everything. Bucky Barnes is about to bring Steve Roger's world crashing down. And Steve is about to realise that's a good thing. Maybe the best thing that ever happened to him.

Boyfriends.
Summary: Bucky Barnes is having the worst season of his life. He's freshly back on the roster from an injury and he just can't get it together.

Summary:
“What? Y’never suck a dick before, Rogers?”
Steve can’t even stop the hysterical bubble of overcompensated laughter that escapes out his open mouth. It’s loud and such an extreme reaction that Steve can’t take back, makes his cheeks heat right back up. He shuffles on his feet, bounces on the balls of them a few times, has another round of giggles as he chugs the rest of his beer.
“N-nah, I...fuck, yeah no I haven’t really—”

Summary:
“Have you always struggled with math, Steve?” Dr. Potts asked.
The blush crept higher as the same shame that he had felt since the second grade crawled up his spine.
“You’re not the only one.” She assured, handing the papers back to him. “Luckily, you can get one-on-one tutoring at the student center, your tuition covers two sessions per week.”
“Thank you ma’am.” Steve accepted the paper and stood, sliding his backpack over his shoulders. Making his way out of her office he paused when she called his name. “Ma’am?”
“Ask for Bucky Barnes.” Her lips turned up at the name. “He’s one of the math majors that I oversee, haven’t had a student work with him who hasn’t passed.”
No pressure, Steve thought. “I’ll make sure to do that. Thank you Dr. Potts.”
“Good luck Steve.”
He didn’t need luck, he needed a miracle.
