fic rec 16!

SO! i haven’t been reading fic in a long time bc i’ve been reading books BUT, discovered this fic rec in my drafts from 2022 lol oops!

This is purely a fic rec blog, always reblogging fics I enjoy. usually Bucky x reader, sometimes Steve x reader, Chris Beck x reader, etc. So check out more I’ve reblogged on this page. :)

PREVIOUS FIC RECS HERE! // Q & A

Bucky x reader:

A Correspondence of Obligations by @pellucid-constellations prince!Bucky x princess!reader

“ Obedience, duty, pristine smiles—raised as the princess of an oppressive kingdom, you knew nothing else. Your father signed your life away at the ripe age of five, black ink bleeding into a contract between nations, fate cemented with the flick of a quill. So when the time came to fulfill the promises you were too young to make, you expected much of the same in the land of Brookshire. But Prince James had other plans, as did the enemies looming outside the castle walls.”

Sky Full of Song by @wkemeup pirate!Bucky x pirate/siren!reader

“Despite the bitter resentment of the crew, you found a home on Captain Barnes’ ship; on the ocean where you belonged, at the side of a captain you swore loyalty and heart to. But when course is plotted for a legendary island, the secret that has kept you alive for years is threatened to be revealed.”

Starting Gate by @navybrat817 motocross!Bucky x reader

“You attract the attention of your coworker's friend who just happens to be a handsome racer who plays for keeps.”

Oath by @softlybarnes (part of the Sugar series but can be reader alone) 40s Bucky x reader

“Bucky finally proposes to Y/N.”

Awake My Soul by @foreverindreamlandd​ Bucky x reader (Zombie apocalypse au)

“It’s been five years since zombies first started walking the Earth, destroying anything and everything in their wake. Now, in this apocalyptic world, fighting for survival comes as naturally as breathing. The one thing you’ve learned ever since they arrived, though, is that the living can be so much more dangerous than the undead. When you stumble across two young, scared boys lost in the woods and being chased by walkers, you go against your better judgment and help them to safety. Little did you know that helping them would lead you to Bucky - an angry, grumpy, distrusting member of the camp Shield. Bucky has zero interest in having you enter his life. He’s been hurt before and lost too many people to risk experiencing that kind of pain again, and he knows that there are secrets you aren’t telling the group. Yet, when push comes to shove, and you’re put at risk, he’ll stop at nothing to keep you safe.”

No Such Thing by @sanguineterrain college athlete!Bucky x reader

“You’ve been assigned to write a column for your school paper on the team’s spectacular running back. You don’t care very much for your university’s football team; you just can’t understand the hype, okay? Turns out your distaste for football bigheads was exactly on point: James Barnes is insufferable.”

Appointments by @buckycuddlebuddy Bucky x reader

“bucky barnes, finally being able to live freely in 21st century, accidentally gets a fuck buddy and starts to rediscover himself. the only weird thing about this situation is that you have to make an appointment to get railed by him.”

Recipe for Disaster by @seventven dad’s best friend!Bucky x reader

“your dad’s best friend bucky knows you have a crush on him. your parents invite him to join your family for the annual winter vacation”

In the Embers by @foreverindreamlandd Firefighter!Bucky x Fem!Plus Size!Adopted Rogers!Reader

“Bucky Barnes. The boy next door. Your brother’s best friend. The guy you’ve been in love with for as long as you can remember. Unrequited, that is, seeing that he only thinks of you as a sister (at least, that’s what you always thought). It’s been about a decade since you’ve returned home and reunited with the boy - now man - with stunning blue eyes and a smile that still puts a million butterflies in your stomach. You never expected to come back, thinking that you’d spend the rest of your life as a famous artist in Los Angeles with your boyfriend/manager. But things change, life gets messy, and now you’re back in your childhood bedroom living with your mom and working at the townie bar to make ends meet while you try to figure out what the hell to do next. The one thing that hasn’t changed? Bucky Barnes is still the boy next door, and there’s no running from him this time.”

Love in Four Acts by @chouettedubois neighbor MCU Bucky x nurse!reader

“You’re a nurse living in Brooklyn. You’ve got a crush on your next door neighbour who doesn’t seem to know you exist. One day his cat finds its way into your apartment, forcing you both to finally meet. That’s when you learn that he’s James Buchanan Barnes, ex-Winter Soldier. Well, there goes your chances. Or maybe getting close to a superhero isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds.”

Plaything part one + two by @captain-buckyyy virgin!Bucky x reader

“bucky’s innocence is just too much for you to resist”

calamitous love series by @classylo princess!reader x commoner!bucky

“Reader is a modern princess under immense pressure to marry before she takes the crown, she choose her Prince Charming four years ago… but he didn’t choose her back. He left her with a broken heart and her kingdom to rule alone. Four years later, reader is in an arranged engagement with a man who she can see herself loving… one day… everything seems to be falling into place until her original prince shows up at her engagement party determined to win her back before her wedding day.”

Not Even a Little by @intrepidacious roommate!Bucky x reader, modern au

“The problem of living with Bucky is that he makes it impossible not to fall in love with him. Even though you could list several hundred reasons why it’s a bad idea. And you have.”

Followed You by @cwbucky Bucky x reader

“You meet this guy named Bucky through Instagram. Even though neither of you knows what the other person looks like, you two immediately connect. Things get complicated when you start your new job at Stark Industries and you catch a glimpse of the handsome Sergeant Barnes.”

Matched by @nony-bear Alpha!Bucky x omega!reader

“Bucky Barnes always dreamed of settling down with a mate but after decades of trauma leaving him a grumpy old man with a robotic arm he’s convinced no one could love an alpha like him. Begrudgingly he follows his therapist advice and enrolls in the Swan Program a mate matching program offered but the new aged bio-tech company Mate-Tech”

Body Talk by @boxofbonesfic trainer!Bucky x plus size!reader

“You’re determined to come out of this breakup a better you, but Bucky likes the you you are.”

King in Your Story by @sinner-as-saint viking!Bucky x princess!reader

“Everyone in your father’s Kingdom knows that the Vikings often raid the castle’s warehouses. They take anything they want. Food, gold, weapons. Although they never seem to hurt your subjects. But you had had enough. Given your training, and your need to defend your Kingdom, your father agrees to let you trap the Vikings and bring them in for negotiation because this habit of theirs needs to be stopped. You hated the Vikings, and you thought you always would. Until the moment you met a pair of blue eyes which made your world stand still. Bucky was the Chief of his people; muscular, rough and tumble, and arrogant. Not to mention a shameless flirt, and he got on your nerves the most. But you knew it from the very day you laid eyes on his very handsome face that no matter how hard you tried, some part of you couldn’t fully hate him, nor resist him - even if he was the rival.”

Oh Baby, Oh Baby by @tooearlyforthis Bucky x reader

“As a new recruit, y/n isn’t allowed to go on all the missions yet. To make matters worse, they left behind another, someone that she had despised ever since she first stepped foot in the compound - James Buchanan Barnes.”

Before You by @m4tthewmurd0ck prince!Bucky x baker!reader

reader is a baker who happens to work at a shop the royals enjoy getting baked goods from :)

Steve Rogers x reader:

Rising Tide by @pellucid-constellations surfer!Steve x reader

“A relationship built up from the ocean floor, you and Steve had lifetime worth of memories—most best friends did. But things were beginning to change, unspoken feelings creating a rift that cast a shadow over the bond you called home. Unfortunately for you, rip currents are often hardest to spot in the dark”

[steviewashere]

*grrrr* I need to write a one-sided unrequited love fic between Steve and Eddie where Steve is bisexual and Eddie is genuinely, actually straight. Oh, I need it so bad. Need it need it need it.

Just.

Steve who is completely and wholly infatuated with Eddie, given love from Eddie anyway. Eddie who can't feel that kind of love for Steve, simply can't. Wishes he could, but he's unable to. It takes him forever to be sexually aroused with Steve—he chalks it up to erectile dysfunction after the demobats got to him (which is only partially true). He kisses and he hugs and he takes care of Steve the way Steve needs him to. He'd never ever think to cheat on Steve, so he doesn't—even if that means closing himself off to a world of love meant for him, but also closing off real love Steve could be receiving.

He likes Steve, but he doesn't love Steve. Not like that anyway.

He can't believe anybody would love him the way Steve loves him, though. Now that he's got scars and nightmares and traumas, a whole report on his "killings" (no matter how innocent he is), and considering he's never been loved like this before, not really. But Steve loves him. Loves him.

And Eddie is aware, fully and completely, that he's sort of just...using Steve. But not really, right? Because he loves Steve, in a way, he loves Steve. They take care of each other. It's pretty comfortable to share a bed together. Whatever.

And Robin is right when they talk. Robin is right in telling him that he needs to let Steve go. That he needs to talk Steve into letting him go. Because Steve loves him, he really truly does, but Steve won't leave him—he can't find a reason to, no matter how much Robin's talked to him about it. So. It's up to Eddie to break Steve's heart.

But if he breaks Steve's heart? Comes clean? He'll lose Steve. He can't let that happen.

But he can't keep Steve away from a real heart that will love him. He can't keep Steve away from a real world out there.

So he makes their favorite dinner. Keeps their apartment warm. And somewhere between a half-hearted store bought dessert and the first bite of homemade comfort food, Eddie looks to Steve and opens his mouth.

"Steve, I need to talk to you."

[kurokoros]

I stand by my point from two years ago that the scene where they find Eddie hiding in the shack would have been sooooooo much funnier if Eddie jumped out of the boat and Steve straight up knocked him out with the oar. there's a cut and Eddie wakes up to something with everyone else arguing with each other about what they're going to do now

[jasontoddsmommyissues]

I don’t understand why so many people in the fandom seem to believe that Eddie being attracted to Chrissy and Eddie being attracted to Steve are mutually exclusive. I’m taking the truly enlightened position that Eddie is bisexual as fuck and attracted to both of them.

[godsworstson]

one of these things is not like the others

[navybrat817]

It's match time, Navy! 😏 If you feel like playing, that is. No pressure.

Match your almost-gives-him-a-stroke attire to the babe:

nothing but his leather jacket/suit jacket and panties

strapless red dress

pencil skirt + see-through white blouse

daisy dukes and crop top

with: Bucky, Andy, Steve, Hal

Oh, I'm matching this with our Silly Boys, Eva!

nothing but his leather jacket/suit jacket and panties? Hal

I know Bucky seems like the perfect choice for a leather jacket, but wearing Hal's worn jacket and panties after coming back from being on the road? Yes, please.

strapless red dress? Steve

Perfect for a night at the local gallery. Is he fucking you before, during, or after the exhibit?

pencil skirt + see-through white blouse? Andy

Depending on the mood there may not be a bra underneath the top. Anything to drive him wild.

daisy dukes and crop top? Bucky

Waxing his Porsche and dancing around to some music when he comes back from a book signing. How could he resist?

Love and thanks! ❤️

[qprstobin]

I just don't understand how we can have nearly four seasons of a show telling us (albeit badly) that high school drama doesn't matter, that both "jocks" AND "nerds/outsiders" have prejudices that they need to get over and somehow a vast majority of you seem to think that joining a sport is evil and only by being into nerd shit are you being truly authentic with yourself

[mirinmuscles]

idfk its giving the same vibes lol

[dinosaurwithablog]

Shohei Otani has scored 4 times in tonight's game against the NY Mets. The last time that a player who played for the LA Dodgers scored 4 times in a post season game was in 1974 when Steve Garvey did it. Way to go, Shohei!! You're in some mighty fine company 😍

Summery: Tony wants the star quarterback, but he's a hard man to catch.

For the: ✦ @capim-tinybang - Round 1 Inspired by [ART] Studying at the Library by laiwrites

Read below or on AO3 >Here<

Tony taps his pen against the page with overeager agitation. Trying to look at the guy beside him out of the corner of his eye without being noticed.

He and Steve had been paired off for a class project. Tony could kiss the professor. Well, no. He didn't want to.

There's someone else he'd much rather kiss.

He'd been trying to get the younger man's attention for months. But Steve was uncharacteristically shy and withdrawn for what you'd expect from a university’s star quarterback. Preferring to read or paint in his dorm than attend parties.

Tony had attended each and every party this year he'd been aware of, just to try to catch some time with Steve. 14,832 parties! Only 27 of which Steve attended. However, he was always flanked by his protective team of friends. The scary Russian international student, the guy whose long hair was the only thing disproving he was part of the Secret Service or FBI, and the football team's defensive back, Falcon. Oh, and the guy with the uncanny aim and the dog that everyone was unsure was an actual service animal.

The project gave him the opportunity he needed. One he'd not let slip through his fingers.

Over the four and a half weeks they've been working together on the project, Tony's been trying to work himself past Steve's defenses. Harder than what he expected or was used to, but Tony liked the challenge.

Tony was sure he and Steve were close enough for him to start pulling out the moves.

"So," Tony says, stilling his movements. "I was thinking..."

"Mmhmm," Steve shifts his position in his seat, scooting closer to the table. Eyes fixed on the notebook. He raises his hand to his face, spotted with blue flecks of paint, rubbing at his mouth absently.

"I'm going to grow a bread. I think I'd rock it,"

With a strangled squeak, Steve, leaning in to rest his elbow on the table, misses the table completely. His soft blue eyes wide with shock.

"...Steve?"

"Your face would look nice," Steve says, the bright blue of his jersey highlighting just how red his face was turning.

"It doesn't normally?" He asks, doing his best to hide his smile.

Horror floods Steve's face. "No!" A small flinch. "Yes. I mean-... It does. I think of your face often."

Warmth fills Tony's chest. "Well, uhh, me too."

THE END

A few, small things: • Tony is on his third degree (A Civil engineering degree that has a few courses that overlap with the part of the art degree Steve is pursuing. Something architecture-design…-esk). • Steve is part of the football team as part of a scholarship to pay for his art course. • The friends Tony mentions protecting Steve at the parties (In order): Natasha, Bucky, Sam and Clint. (In case it wasn't that clear). • Clint's dog (Lucky) is actually a service dog in this. People are just all ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

In my planned Stonathan no-UD IU AU fic, El/Jane was never taken from Terri, and it's kind of making me sad how much easier her life is. Terri raised her solo for a while, with some help from Becky, and eventually married a man who owns a pizza parlor on the main drag. So El/Jane is a sixteen-year-old townie who works part-time at her nice stepdad's restaurant and Terri is an older student going back for her bachelor's degree.
