Chapter 8

Fury’s eye shifts to Bucky. Pauses at his arm, but not for long. “What’s Stark really like?” “Alright,” Bucky says. “Kingly.” “Great,” Fury mutters. “I’m up to my other eye in noble dickheads parading past, half the troops still think the war’s on, and most of the poor fuckers here can’t recall what chain of command means. But sure, the king's kingly. Do better. Find out why we’re still here.” Bucky frowns, not having signed up for that, but Clint claps him on the back, leading him out before they can bring up more patrols, loudly chirping about how nice it is to be appreciated for not forgetting where they came from.

Fave Sebass Stan movies??

Oh, exciting!

Obviously I'm contractually obligated to say Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War because loving Bucky Barnes is sorta my entire personality at this stage.

Outside of Marvel, though, I'm ashamed to admit I've barely seen anything with him—except for maybe The Martian and The Covenant, which are both great and tied at a very respectable fifth place, but had nothing to do with him when I watched them. All the other Marvel movies he's in can just fight it out Hunger Games-style somewhere in between, if that works for you :)

Chapter 7

If Bucky was the kind of idiot who ignored the metal grafted to his shoulder and the half-magic crap littering every surface, he still couldn’t forget the weapons Tony’s built. How could he? Nearly died to a few, too—so now wouldn’t be the first time. “How explosive?” he rushes out. “Eh,” Tony shrugs, eyes snapping back to Bucky and making a step toward him as Bucky eats that distance between them.

A peddler at the market tried to sell Bucky a necklace made from a Hydra tooth a few weeks back. Claimed it promoted fertility. Bucky nearly pissed himself laughing. Sure, asshole. Nothing gets the seed flowing like the tooth drained of toxic necrotic venom from a nine-headed fucker. Idiots’ll believe anything if you tell ‘em it came from a monster. The tooth was real, though. So they clearly know how to take one down in these parts. But Hydra’s not just a beast. Not just teeth and scales and rot and stench. It doesn’t sneak—it invades. Doesn’t feed—it devours. And what makes it a nightmare isn’t the beast itself. It’s that it never comes alone.

Hell yeah.

Spider-Verse Big Bang 2025 is coming soon!

Hey there, Spiders~

We are excited to announce that the Spider-Verse Big Bang will be held for yet another year!

Sign-ups will open for every role on April 1st 2025!

This Big Bang welcomes every version of Spider-Man and affiliated characters; it is not limited to just the animated movies! So if you have a story inspired by any media where spider-people are featured, you're more than welcome to come tell it with us!

If you are not familiar with the concept, you may be wondering "What is a Big Bang"? It's an event where authors and artists collaborate to create new stories and art together for a fandom. They keep their work secret until posting begins, bringing an explosion of new material for the fandom to feed on!

There are several ways to participate: you may join as an author, an artist, a pinch-hitter, or a beta reader; or even several of those at once!

Writers are expected to write a story of a minimum of 7,000 words between the months of April and November. There is no upper word count limit, but beware not to bite more than you can! (We all know too well those stories that started as one-shots and ended up being several chapters long hehe). Artists are expected to make at least one illustration for the story they will be paired with.

This event is open to all levels! Whether you're a beginner artist or writer, or you're already fully seasoned in your craft, the Spider-Verse Big Bang's doors are open to you~

Please note that authors are expected to submit a minimum of a 700 words draft at sign up (although we do recommend for the length of this draft to be closer to 10% of your final word count if it is higher than 7k). So if you know you intend to join the event, feel free to get started on your story right now!

In the meantime, here are some useful links and informations~

The strength is inhuman. Unfair. Bucky can feel it every time he swings. The arm fucks with his balance, sure, throws off his center and puts too much pressure on the left leg when he’s pivoting, but the tradeoff is obscene. He’s not blocking with it. He’s bullying with it. Might as well be a hammer of his own. Odinson comes again, overhead, and with a full brute-force try. Bucky shifts, quick on his feet, hips turned, eyes locked through the slits in the helmet. Then he leans in with his torso twisting and slams the arm into Odinson’s gut, using it as a battering ram.

Fill the sleeve. Hide the wound. Make the cripple knight easier to look at. Give the nobles something prettier to stare at than absence. Bucky gets it. He really fucking does. He’s not stupid. But… it ain’t rude. Walking around with an empty sleeve that reminds folk that war doesn’t clean up nice. That sometimes people survive things they shouldn’t, and what’s left isn’t palatable, convenient, or aesthetically pleasing.

I finally got a WinterSpider fic published! I love this pairing and was inspired by @maukree's incredible works (and their prompt for this story). Hope you enjoy <3

Home used to be a nice memory. Meadows stretching green as far as the eye could see. Ma always moving, kneading dough, fixing buttons, brushing back his hair. Becka’s laugh carrying from the well. The sounds of the market outside, the chatter, the smell of baked apples and manure and woodsmoke. Skipping stones with sickly Steve on the lake when the wind wasn’t too cruel. Camomile fields out past the woods, grass brushing against his skin while Bucky held Steve’s hand and listened to him breathe through some herb pouch that made his chest not rattle so hard.

The king lifts the goblet and taps it against the center of his chest before Bucky can even begin to think of whether he should be kneeling again. The metal rings out with a hollow, cold clank. "More science than magic, Sir Barnes," the king says, and in this room, not in a massive hall, his voice sounds like honey poured over a blade. “Though there is some of that too.” Bucky’s mouth parts. A breath, a twitch. He licks his lips, forgets why he did it, and shuts that same mouth before he can make a sound. He— “Are you an honest man, Bucky?” the king asks.

When he looks up, there’s a man standing before him. A man with deep brown eyes, a sharp jaw covered in facial hair, and a crown perched atop dark, unruly hair. The rest is a blur. Bucky is asked to repeat words, which he does. A blade touches both of his shoulders, the mangled one included. And then, the most terrifyingly beautiful warlord he has ever seen tells him: “Rise, Sir Barnes.”

Bucky was barely sixteen when they took him from home, put steel in his hand, and told him he was a soldier. He’s twenty-nine now, and after over a decade of fighting someone else’s wars, has no loyalty left to give this kingdom—left it in the snow along with his limb—until he’s knighted by the Merchant of Death.

Winteriron Fanart for the "You gave me a Stocking" event! Tony has a thing for knights, be it in modern times for dressing up, or as a king in a fantasy setting Made for @kandisheek <3 (I also made a stony version)

Pack - Chapter 7

The last thing Bucky remembers is the lounge, that mouthwatering scent, and then everything going straight to shit with no pit stops. He rolls over, coming face to face with a bunch of blankets. They aren’t soft anymore. They aren’t clean. And they sure as hell don’t smell like anything close to heaven now. They reek of sweat, filth, and something vaguely burnt—the fuck? Must’ve been his self-respect torching itself and going up in flames. His head is pounding, his heart is pounding, his den’s a war zone, the bed broken. His goddamn mattress looks molested. Jesus. What the fuck was that?

In Bucky’s defense, the compound’s a revolving door, and he barely recognizes half the faces most of the time, let alone pays attention to memos that pop up on his phone.

Okay, I am very much dying for the next issue of Laura Kinney Wolverine and for her team-up with Bucky. Here is the downside of reading as this comes out—can't just binge everything. How is this pixelated man looks good enough to eat? Damn.
