For those fics where the main characters are either vampiric, werewolfish, or both
Summary: After the car accident that cost him his arm and the endless rehabilitation that got him his shiny metal Stark Industries replacement, Bucky's happy for a break from people. The house in the forest is peaceful, town's a fair distance away, and he's got no neighbours...except maybe a blue-eyed wolf and possibly a naked guy named Steve. (PS: Steve is the wolf.)
Summary: AKA Bucky the Vampire Slayer Captain America squinted against the sun, raising his arm to shield his eyes. He looked uncomfortable and angry as the camera zoomed in on his face. "I don't have anything further to say," he snapped at the reporter. Bucky's feet fell off his coffee table in shock. "Holy shit," he said to the room at large. "Captain America is a vampire."
Summary: Like most stories about Bucky Barnes and his questionable and sometimes terrible life choices, this one starts because he decides not to listen to Natasha’s cryptic and mostly annoying advice. He decides not to listen, and he hunts down and kills a deer during that month’s full moon run with his pack and leaves its dead body on Steve Rogers’s front step. Steve, the man Bucky kind-of-possibly-maybe-absolutely is in love with. Bucky would try to smother himself after that one, but he’s learned that werewolves are hard to kill. * Or: the four stages of courting Steve Rogers.
Summary: Steve Rogers isn't really quite sure what is going on, because one moment he's feeding Clint's dog a treat and the next the hottest guy he's ever seen is wiping blood from his mouth and accusing him of tasting bad. (OR: The one where Bucky is a vampire and Steve is anemic)
Summary: It’s the eyes that do it. Molten silver in the moonlight. Steve could never forget them. He stands up straighter, and his fear bleeds away. “You.” The man stops a few paces from Steve, eyes flicking around his face as if in search of something. “Me,” he says. His voice is low, soft as velvet. Steve knows from one word that he would listen to this man talk for hours. “From the train,” Steve says as he shifts his weight to one leg. “Like a week ago?” The man cracks a slow smile that makes his eyes shine. The barest hint of his sharp canines peeks between his full lips. “From the train. Yeah. Didn’t think I’d ever run into you again.” “Yeah, I…,” Steve murmurs, lips parted as he looks for words, any words to convey the strange feeling in his chest. It feels like the culmination of searching for someone you never knew, or that maybe you did a lifetime ago. He doesn’t know this man’s name, but he feels like he should. And he wants to, so badly he can’t think around it. “I’m Steve.” The man’s smile brightens, and he seems to relax. “Bucky." ---- or; sunlight, and his shadow.
Summary: “Half a millennium of existence,” Bucky murmurs, half to himself even as his gaze never strays from the wolf before him, “and this is what fate has in store for me.” Steve Rogers is kinder on the eyes than his predecessor, but all Bucky can look at is the gleaming star on his chest. It’s white, spread over nearly all of his right pectoral, the simple design standing raised on sun-kissed skin. Steve looks, acts, and smells like sun and forests, the polar opposite of Bucky. His star is red and on his left side, a mirror to Steve’s. There’s no denying it, their bond, but Bucky would gladly give a limb for that luxury. He's the master of his fate, not a few square centimeters of raised flesh. "I’m not exactly jumping for joy either,” Steve speaks, finally. “I’m more used to killing your kind than fucking them.” “Wolf,” Bucky says quietly, “you’re not fucking anyone here.” - How to Cope When Your Soulmate Is Your Mortal Enemy: A Beginner’s Guide by James Buchanan Barnes.
Summary: Before Steve Rogers becomes Captain America, and before he rescues Bucky from Zola's table, the war changes Bucky. He never tells Steve what happened the night Dugan came to him... HYDRA twists Bucky's head around, but the one thing he knows when he pulls Steve from the river is that he needs to keep Steve safe - by staying as far away as he can... But Steve and Bucky have never been very good at staying away from each other, no matter the consequences...
Summary: “We’ve killed so many people,” Bucky finally says, quietly, feeling like he might as well be telling Steve they’ve run out of merlot, for all the weight it probably carries. “Doesn’t it ever bother you?”
Summary: Bucky's life was saved because he picked up the tab for a cup of coffee. He'd heard of people getting rewarded for good deeds, but that seemed way out of proportion. Sure, the life-saving came with a side order of being a werewolf, but since that was way better than being dead, he figured he could deal. Of course, that was before he learned about the vampires...
Summary: As the king of vampires, there are a lot of expectations. Minimize exposure of the nocturnal nature of their kind. Keep rouges from starting wars with other supernaturals. But the council thinks the king's time is better spent on other priorities. Such as finding a bloodthirsty bride, even though that is the last thing on his mind.
Summary: Part of my Kinktober 2022 collection. It’s time for Steve’s rut yet again. Bucky may not be a werewolf like Steve, but he sure as hell knows how to treat his man like a good omega would.
Summary: Part of my Kinktober 2022 collection. Natasha and Bucky want to make a vampire sandwich with Steve filling. Steve enjoys himself immensely.
Summary: “MARRIED?” “Basically married. Permanently engaged anyway. Weres have their own deal.” Natasha sounds much, much too gleeful about Steve’s rapidly expanding personal hell. “So you better wake your blushing bride and tell him the happy news: that it was an accident and you had no idea what you were doing.” “I,” Steve says, strangled. “I can’t do that!” “You can’t?” “He thought I was proposing! And he accepted!” “Wow, maybe he’s just as dumb as you are,” Natasha says thoughtfully. “I can’t just promise him a ring, take him home, drink from him three times in a row and then wake him up the next morning to say oops, just kidding!” Steve casts around, looking at his wreck of an apartment. “I don’t even have any good champagne!”
Summary: Based on the Love, Death and Robots episode SHAPE-SHIFTER, and part of the 2022 Shrunkyclunks Big Bang! Bucky is a werewolf, forced into the military like all mythical creatures, to be used as front line troops. He and his Myth Unit, Natasha the Vampire, Wanda the Witch, and Sam, another wolf, are stationed in the Middle East, and kept separate from the rest of the soldiers. They get word that they are going to have a temporary fifth person in their barracks, the world’s first super soldier, recently discovered and brought back to life. The real-life Captain America, re-joining the forces of good to defeat the forces of evil. The reality is, that Steve Rogers may have been the first person to receive the serum, but was never Captain America. He had never been to the front lines, never even picked up a weapon to fight. He had, in fact, never left the basement science facility. Steve Rogers has been experimented on for 70 years, frozen and put away afterwards.
Summary: 200 years is a long time to be lonely, but much like everything Bucky puts his mind to, he has perfected it. He has a string of dedicated human suitors and a well-curated existence of luxury and excess with no motivation to see a shift in his status quo. Then he meets Steve Rogers. Steve's life has been long and full of pack, family, and love. These days, he lives comfortably and loves at his leisure, content to be part of a well-established pack that has flourished for centuries, both in his homeland of Ireland and in New York. Meeting James Barnes provides an unexpected amusement that he's more than happy to indulge in.
Summary: Alpha Chief Steve and an Omega, Bucky were a mated pair of lycans; mated since they were old enough to be allowed to in the White Star tribe. When Bucky went missing, a suspected victim of a vampire attack, Steve grieved over him and their broken bond. He was sure Bucky was dead. Years later, Steve leads his pack on an assault against the vampire coven responsible for his mate's death. Inside, they discover a dungeon where a vampire is being tortured.
Summary: Bucky storms through the front door, spitting mad. Steve can smell the rage on him, and his blood sings in Pavlovian response. He doesn’t stop to wonder what set Bucky off. It must be a mission. It usually is, and when it isn’t, it’s his teammates. He doesn’t smell any blood on Bucky tonight, but the way he heals, that doesn’t say much. Steve doesn’t really pay attention to human affairs, including Avenger ones, and Bucky’s durable enough that he doesn’t fret when he goes out decked in red, white, and blue. Bucky will tell him what’s wrong later, but first— Steve intercepts him halfway across the room, and Bucky snarls, shoving at Steve’s chest. It’s strong enough to force Steve back a few steps, and sometimes, he thinks this is his favorite part about fucking Bucky—the way Steve can feel him struggle. He slams into Bucky, and Bucky’s prepared for it, spoiling for a fight. They grapple on the floor. Bucky’s good at this—has to be, being what he is. But Steve’s played the soldier too, has fought his own wars, and life is peaceful now, but it wasn’t always. And it’s not hard to beat a man who wants, deep down, to lose. – Steve helps Bucky bleed out some stress—literally.
Summary:
“You brought a weapon into my pack lands.”
For a moment, Steve looks like he doesn’t know how to respond to that. Then he sighs, shaking his head like Bucky’s some young pup yapping at him. It’s such a quintessentially Steve gesture, and Bucky would usually find it endearing, but tonight, he’s got the moon singing in his blood, and his emotions are volatile, not quite his.
He bares his teeth and stalks forward—only to still when Steve smiles, wide and wild, white teeth flashing like a knife between the dark scruff of his beard. It’s the smile of a man who got exactly what he wanted, and even half lost to the moon fever, Bucky knows it spells trouble.
“Sweetheart,” Steve says, voice dripping a sweetness that makes Bucky’s hackles rise, “I am the weapon.”
-Bucky’s pack doesn’t allow humans into their land during the full moon—even though Bucky’s the alpha and Steve’s not a normal human. But Steve’s never been one to follow the rules.
Summary:
Bucky Barnes is an average guy. He likes cosy nights in, cheesy rom-coms... Oh, and obsessively researching the supernatural.
With the paranormal season fast approaching, paranoia is at an all-time high. Bucky is determined to keep his boyfriend, Steve, safe.
Too bad he doesn't know that Steve's a werewolf himself — and his wolf form is a tiny, fluffy Pomeranian...
Summary:
Historically, Bucky’s village held an annual human offering to local vampires to bring good fortune to their harvest. Though it’s been years since a vampire was in the area, when vampire Steve Rogers seeks a quiet getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life to a secluded cabin on the outskirts of town, Bucky is elected to be sacrificed for the good of his village.
Except, Steve does not want a human sacrifice, and has no idea what to do when he is offered one.
