Part 2

Summary: Bucky decides he’s finally ready to adopt a cat, so you venture out into the city to find his perfect match.

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x female!reader

Word count: 2,875

Author’s note: what kind of person would i be if i wrote a fic about two cat lovers and not bring in alpine? (i also tried to refrain from going into vet tech work mode while writing the scene in the vet’s office and tried to keep it short lol.)

Warnings: a whole bunch of fluff and also cats

There was a light knocking at your door as you finished getting ready for the day. You and Bucky had agreed to leave for the animal shelter at eleven AM, and it was only ten-forty. You thought it was adorable how he was itching to start looking for a cat, and today was finally the day. You tried to assure him that it wasn’t always as easy as it had been with you and Gomez, that sometimes it takes a few different tries before you find the one. He tried to act nonchalant, acting as if he wasn’t too worried. But even under that tough exterior you knew he was excited.

Gomez happily trotted over to the door and sat in front of it. He looked back at you as if to say ‘my second favorite person is here, are you going to let him in?’ You had no idea when he had learned the sound of Bucky’s footsteps specifically, but he always knew when it was your supersoldier neighbor on the other side of the door.

You gave your cat a small scratch behind the ear before opening the door. Bucky stood there with a brand new looking cat carrier. He leaned in and kissed you softly and your heart fluttered. You had been seeing each other for about four months at this point, and while neither of you had used labels yet, there was always a hello kiss waiting for you.

“Morning,” he smiled, and you stood aside for him to come in.

“Morning,” you grinned back at the way Gomez did figure eights between Bucky’s legs as he walked into the apartment. “You look prepared.”

“Yeah,” he blushed a little and tried to hide it while he paid most of his attention to Gomez. “I know you said I could use Gomez’s carrier, but I wanna make sure I have everything, y’know?”

“I get it,” you replied with a grin, because you did get it. “Ready to go?”

“I am,” he said and stood up.

While you walked over to the door, Gomez let out an indignant chirp of protest.

“Sorry, pal,” you said and kissed him on top of his head. “Maybe when we get back we’ll have a friend for you.”

You walked your way to the train station and caught the first one to the stop near the shelter.

“How does Gomez feel about other cats?” Bucky asked you.

“He doesn’t really pay attention to them for the most part, I’ve seen him get along with other cats, but he definitely prefers people,” you explained. “You really want them to get along, huh?”

“Well, I don’t want him to think I’m replacing him,” Bucky said, and you could tell he really wasn’t joking. That made you feel warm all over; you knew that Gomez had essentially claimed Bucky as his own territory, but the fact that Bucky was planning around your situation made you feel like he planned on sticking around.

When you walked up to the doors of the shelter, you were welcomed by a young woman who gave you a warm smile.

“Hi, welcome,” she said. “Looking to adopt a cat or a dog?”

“A cat,” Bucky replied. “Preferably good with other cats.”

She nodded and waved toward the door that led to the cat area of the shelter. “Come with me.”

You followed Bucky and walked by plenty of different cats. You pointed out a sweet old lady cat who rubbed her face against your hand between the bars of the kennel door. It said “I’ve been adopted!” on her information card. It made your heart happy; a lot of older animals often got left behind at shelters.

“She’s probably the sweetest one we have here,” the girl said. “She’s been passed up by a lot of people because she has a lot of health problems. A couple is taking her home in a few days, they have the means to pay her medical bills and they fell in love with her immediately when they met her.”

“That’s so sweet,” you smiled.

Bucky smiled at the cat as they passed by. They met a few candidates; a tuxedo kitten that liked chasing shoelaces, but was not a fan of other cats. A little orange cat who immediately flopped onto your shoes and showed his belly. He reminded you a bit of Gomez, except a little lazier and less mischievous.

Bucky seemed to like them all, but you could tell there was that lack of a spark with any of them. Still, it was sweet to watch him interact with them.

When the verdict was that none of them were ‘the one’, Bucky didn’t have to say it out loud. You could see the slight disappointment behind his eyes, maybe that other people wouldn’t notice, so you politely said you both had a lot to think about and that you’d be in touch with the shelter.

As you walked out, you tried to keep Bucky’s spirits up; it was only the first shelter, there were plenty more cats to see in New York, he’d find the one, etc.

As you walked out of shelter number three with still no luck, you could tell your words were becoming just that and nothing more. His shoulders seemed somewhat heavy, and he looked defeated.

“Hey,” you said, taking his hand and giving it a squeeze as you walked. “I’m sorry. I know it’s frustrating.”

He sighed heavily. “That’s okay, we can try again to–”

There was a loud crash off to the side in an alley near you. It was late afternoon, but there weren’t many people around, so of course you weren’t exactly jumping to investigate.

When you heard a loud ‘meow,’ Bucky felt differently. He turned to look in the alleyway and as he walked slowly down it, a little ball of fluff bolted out from behind a dumpster.

The cat looked at the both of you, Bucky now stopped in his tracks so as not to scare her. She gave you a little ‘mew?’ and walked towards Bucky slowly. You held your breath to see how the cat would react, and you weren’t the least bit surprised when she started rubbing on his legs and asking for pets.

Bucky slowly knelt down and scratched her behind the ears, like Gomez liked. You walked slowly closer to them, her purring loud and insistent. The cat saw you and meowed again, this time coming over to you and pushing her head against your hand that you had offered out.

“Well, son of a bitch,” you smiled.

Bucky seemed like he couldn’t believe it, like this was too good to be true.

“Think she’s got a home?” He asked. It was a fair question; you assumed that under all the dirt and filth on her long fur, she was white and probably matted. She was skinny, very much so, like she had only been living off scraps for a while.

“She seems to love people,” you replied. “I say we start walking and see what happens. Maybe she likes her little alleyway.”

Bucky stood up and gave a small huff. “We can’t leave her here.”

“Something tells me she’s not going to let us anyway,” you grinned, watching as the cat rubbed her face on your leg.

Sure enough, as you both started walking away, the little cat trotted beside you to keep up and you could tell it was taking everything Bucky had not to pick her up. When you got to the entrance to the subway, you stopped him.

“Put the carrier down and maybe see what she does?” You suggested.

When Bucky did so, the cat seemed a little unsure. She sniffed the open door, but didn’t go in. Instead, she rubbed up on Bucky’s legs again. You held back a giggle and watched as he marveled at this small animal. She let out a loud, demanding meow, and he scooped her up. The moment she was in his arms, she laid her head back against his arm and closed her eyes contentedly.

“I’m gonna call my vet,” you said, taking your phone out as Bucky looked down at this cat like it was his own kid. “We should get her scanned for a microchip and see if she has an owner.”

He grunted in agreement, even though you knew he had probably already decided this was his cat now.

After a visit to the vet, and all the nurses fawning over how loving and adorable this little ball of fluff was, it was determined that there was no microchip. The doctor said because of how thin she was, she probably hadn’t had any actual cat food in a long time. They were able to fit her in for a full appointment that day, Bucky insisting that he would pay for any testing and vaccines she needed.

When they brought the cat back out to you, she was clean and happy.

“I was wondering what you looked like under all that dirt,” you smiled and scratched under her chin, which she loved. “What’s the verdict?”

“She’s clean and healthy, no fleas, but we treated her for a skin infection, and we gave her a bath which she was surprisingly very good for,” the nurse smiled. “Is this going to be Gomez’s new friend?”

You smiled and looked at Bucky, who nodded happily. “That’s what we’re hoping for.”

The nurse gave Bucky a handout of everything about the visit. Which food to feed, how many calories she should be eating to get her to a healthy weight, and when she should come back for a recheck.

When you left the facility, the cat still didn’t want to get into the carrier, so Bucky put her in his jacket and zipped it up with her head sticking out. The cat looked perfectly content, and closed her eyes the whole train ride home.

“What are you thinking of for a name?” You asked.

“I dunno,” he said. “I’m gonna think about it tonight.”

When you got back, you hung out upstairs in his apartment with the two of them for a while.

“She’s really sweet,” you said as you watched the cat fall asleep in Bucky’s lap.

“She is,” he replied, scratching under her chin.

“I’m gonna let the two of you get acquainted,” you said, standing up and leaning down to kiss him on the forehead. “I’ll be back tomorrow to visit.” You said, this time to the cat.

“Hey,” he took your hand and pulled you down for a kiss on the lips. “Thanks for everything, sweetheart.”

“Anytime,” you smiled and headed back downstairs.

When you closed the door behind you, Gomez was immediately attached to you. He sniffed your jeans obsessively, as if to ask, “where have you been, and with who?”

“Hey, bud,” you scooped him up and he purred against you. “I think we found you a little friend. I hope you like each other.”

He chirped at you and you laughed.

“You’re right, what am I saying? Of course she’ll like you,” you set him down on the bed and he rolled onto his back and stretched, seeming content that his human was back in his graces where she belonged.

When you woke up the next day, you heard a bang from above you. You startled out of bed and looked around. Gomez was still sound asleep at the end of the bed, so you got up and put on your sweatpants.

Bucky’s apartment was right above you, so you figured you could start there. You jogged up the stairs, but stopped when a little plastic ball with a bell inside came jingling towards you. You stopped it with your foot and looked to find Bucky at the top of the stairs, brown paper shopping bags broken in his arms.

“I see someone is having an eventful morning,” you smiled and started picking up the various things he dropped. There were about a million cat toys, a box of cat treats, and a cute little light blue collar with fish skeletons on it. There was also a case of cans of wet cat food, which you assumed was the noise that had woken you up.

“I thought you bought everything already,” you raised an eyebrow, amused at the sight before you.

“I thought I did, but I wasn’t sure if she liked dry or wet food, so I went back for some more stuff,” he said honestly. “I was going to ask you to come with me, but I know you like to sleep in on your days off, and I was getting kind of antsy.”

“It’s okay,” you replied. “Let me help you with this stuff.”

You carried the cat’s things into his apartment, and she was at the door immediately, greeting you as if she’d known you her whole life. You pet her and tossed one of the toys onto the floor, which she immediately darted after. She wasn’t a kitten, but with her behavior she couldn’t be that old, either.

You started setting her things out, and picked up the collar, now noticing the little gold name tag on it.

“Alpine?” You asked.

He shrugged. “She didn’t really strike me as a ‘Snowflake’ or a ‘Snowball’.”

The little cat looked up at you and you admired her fluff and her sweet, blue eyes.

“Alpine,” you said finally and tested out picking her up, which she let you do happily. “I think it fits.”

You and the cat looked at each other and she slowly blinked contentedly at you. When you looked back up at Bucky, you caught him leaning against the counter with his arms folded across his chest, grinning at you warmly.

“What?” You arched an eyebrow and smiled back.

“Nothin,” he walked over and kissed you. “It’s nice to see my two girls hangin’ out, that’s all.”

Your heart skipped at that; You figured it was his old-fashioned nature. But now you were wondering if you truly were official, if you were allowed to call him your boyfriend or not.

“I like the sound of that,” you said, looking up into his eyes.

“Yeah?” He asked, placing another soft kiss on your lips. “Are you my girl?”

“I am,” you smiled. “Of course.”

You placed Alpine on the ground and put your arms around Bucky and kissed him. It was nice, knowing you were someone’s. You didn’t ever really care for labels, never cared so much for commitment. But with Bucky it was easy; you always felt safe, and you were never insecure about yourself or about what he was doing. You trusted him, and as much as that scared you, it also thrilled you.

“Think we should introduce them?” Bucky asked, nodding to Alpine.

You shrugged. “I feel like maybe we should give her a couple days. She just got here, I don’t wanna overwhelm her.”

“Good idea,” he agreed.

A few days later, you both decided it was time. You had given the cats each something that belonged to the other, so that the smell wasn’t foreign when they met. You were sure Gomez would be fine, but you knew next to nothing about Alpine. She was sweet with people, but you didn’t know what her life was like as a stray. You just stayed optimistic and kept your hopes up.

When Bucky came to the door, Gomez was there waiting. You opened it and found Bucky holding Alpine. Gomez tilted his head in curiosity, watching as Bucky closed the door behind him and put Alpine down in the living room. The two cats stared at each other for a long moment, and all you could think was here it comes, they’re going to hate each other, there’s no way–

And before you could finish that thought, Alpine meowed happily and started purring loudly. Gomez also softened and tried rubbing up on her. Before you knew it, they passed by each other, and Gomez followed her around as she investigated the apartment. The relief that flooded through you was almost euphoric.

You looked up at Bucky, who looked like a proud father, and smiled.

“Best case scenario, huh?” You said.

He put his arm around you as you watched Alpine roll over and show Gomez her belly, which caused Gomez to go over to her and lick her face. The two of them acted like they were old friends; it was very much a “where have you been all my life?” situation.

For the rest of the night, you sat on the couch watching TV, both cats snuggled on your laps, sleeping. Bucky’s arm was around you and your head was resting on his shoulder. It all felt very domestic, and you were surprised at how much that made your heart swell. You glanced up at him as he was enamored with the show on your television, and you couldn’t help but smile. You directed your focus back to the TV, and you didn’t catch the way he smiled softly down at you. He’d never been in love, but if it was anything like what he’d heard described so often, he was certain that this was it.

. ⋆⠀ ADDICTED TO YOU

alex albon x fem!reader x lily muni he

ever wondered if there's truth behind the thirsty tweets? — part two

warnings: throuple, alcohol mentioned, making out (fxf), sexual content (blowjob, dom!reader, sub!lily, switch!alex)

other parts: one three four

the club is very much overflowed by party hungry people who were more drunk than anything if you'd ask yourself; occasionally you like to go out, dressing prettily for your lovers and have fun while doing so, but today you weren't in the mood — lily had practically forced you outside.

lily, your stunning childhood friend turned lover, wasn't a fan of big celebrations, however your boyfriend alex and his grid mates, as they liked to call themselves, planed on going out after the silverstone gp.

this meant only one thing for you: don't flirt with your lovers as alex didn't want to share your throuple in a hazzard, kind of drunk, horny way. he made plans to make it official to the guys at the hungarian gp in july, three short months after you feel in love.

standing next to the bar with lily by your side, the pair of you silently talked about alex and his stupidity for keep you a secret from his friends. the music wasn't too loud, which made it so much easier to complain about him.

your girlfriend nods in agreement, noticing the effect the whole arrangement has on you. "So tell me, why don't you say this", she touches the naked skin above your heart", to him? bet he doesn't even notice how you're feeling like a dirty secret."

"its not that simple to him and you know that. we don't know if some of his friends think of it in disgust and he clearly doesn't want to lose anyone", you reply, starring at your dirty martini.

"Babe, I know how he's thinking, I just want you to put yourself above it. If his friends don't accept it, it's their fault and makes them shitty friends."

Carefully, Lily grabs your chin, pressing a soft kiss on your cheek. Then she smirks: "I might have an idea how to change his mind in under five minutes.

"Really? How?", you mumble, completely lost in her beauty.

The woman in front of you takes both of your glasses. "I tell you", she waves at the barman and signal him to fill your glasses up again, "we'll fuck each other this night, i promise. just make out with me, babe."

"oh", you say, feeling hotter by the second. your girlfriend isn't the bold one in the throuple, meaning that alex's stupid rule drives her crazy too.

"He's looking at us right now, seems bored of the conversation they're having", Lily whispers softly in your ear. "Kiss me please."

Searching for any trace of regret in the beauty's eyes, you find nothing but love and lust. Leaning in, you press your lips against lily's, tasting her red wine.

while you two share delicate kisses, your boyfriend sips on his redbull vodka, watching you like a hawk. pierre, the alpine driver, follows his sight of line and gulbs at the picture. "mate, your girl makes out with y/n. hot and all but if I were you, I'd have a serious word with lily in the morning."

shaking his head alex stands up, ignoring the guys he came with, and walks up to you.

"You want to kill me, pretty girls?", the man groaned as he grabs lily's hip and lays his free hand on your neck, adding slight pressure to it. your eyes grow wide at his affectionate touch which in return brings a giggle out of lily.

growing confident, you lean into his half hug and press a kiss on his cheek — he briefly closes his lids at the contact before opening them again and breathing deeply. "fine, let's go home."

you grin at your female lover cheekily, taking her hand. "thanks bunny, I owe you one."

arriving at the hotel and making your way up to the room, alex immediately presses his front against your back, letting you feel what lily's and your little display of affection did to him, and massages your nippels through the thin material of your dress. the other woman in the room leans against the wall, loving how desperate you look in alex' arms, even more so when he throws your little white dress somewhere.

As the driver guides you to the bed, the black haired beauty comes up behind him, lifting his shirt up and over his head to touch his muscles. you sit down on the white sheets, waiting patiently for lily to undress your boyfriend completely.

a moan escapes your throat; she bits little marks onto his skin and runs her right hand inside his cargo pants, leaving him in utter bliss. Carefully, Lily pulls them down, freeing his erection.

smirking at the sight, she goes in front of him, drops on her knees and hungrily ogles his cock, the fat tip smeared with precum. you shift her hair into a ponytail and guide her onto the dick; loving the moment of being dominant. her tongue traces hungrily over his length at first, then starts to blow him lazily.

looking up at alex, he's already starring at you. "be a doll and show me what's mine, yes?"

Art Preview:

Below you will find the art previews for this year, remember authors that its not quite time for claiming yet!Take a good look and pick 2-3 favourites and remember their Title for when claiming does begin.

If you’d rather see the art as a google doc click here

Title: Kissing under the fireworks

Description/Prompt: what it says on the tin. Kissing under the fireworks.

This one is a pretty open universe, could be a first kiss, a regular kiss exchanged at New Year's Eve, the fireworks are celebrating that one of them have been crowned King or them finally getting married. Or maybe a romantic proposal at a holiday celebration.

Warnings: None

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

A/N: The art is not finished I am open to reinterpretation and/or taking the prompt a different way then the one I have outlined or changing the art a bit to better fit the story like Bucky (not) having the arm, short hair or long and similar

Title: welcome back / welcome home

Description/Prompt: Bucky pulls Tony into a bone crushing hug, extremely relieved that Tony is back home and alive. Bucky doesn't plan to let him go, ever again.

Open verse, could be a no-power AU, or pre-Afghanistan, or maybe sometime when Tony is IronMan. It could be focusing on Bucky's anguish at not knowing where is Tony if he is alive. Or could be the celebration that Tony is home. Maybe how is their life is being affected after.

Warnings: None

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: 19th century AU

Prompt: 19th century-vibes AU (or can be Bridgerton AU), with behaving one way in private and another way in public to save face, love, and searching for one's freedom. (Can be ABO or not)

Limitations: dubcon/noncon between the OTP, eye gore, MCD, D/s verse (a normal universe with a D/s relationship is fine though), unhappy ending, pwp. I would prefer if it was not simple love at first sight.

Title: Sweethearts

Description/Prompt: Punk!Alpha!Bucky gets into a fight, not on purpose - this time - and while he does win, he gets beaten badly.

He tries to walk it off, but he runs into his Omega classmate Tony who is heading home from a late night lab-session.

Tony sees him and is very adamant to treat Bucky's injuries - he lets slip by accident a couple of details about Bucky, showcasing that he pays more attention to Bucky than a "proper" Omega should.

Tony patches Bucky up, and they fall asleep on the couch, Bucky relaxing after a long while.

They end up becoming friends and Tony offers to tutor Bucky.

They end up falling in love with Tony, and Bucky stops skipping class and getting into so many fights. Though Tony patches him up, every single time.

In the end Bucky's grades improve enough that he finishes in the Top 10 of the class.

Warnings: none

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Iron Man Noir AU

Prompt: Iron Man Noir AU with influences from Spider-Man Noir. It is 1939, Tony Stark is undercover in Berlin in his hidden Cabaret, to gather intel, and help where help is needed.

Why is Bucky there? Is he sent for undercover work, ready to meet some secret contact? Is he a Russian spy sent to gather information about America's plans? Or is he just some normal guy who wandered into the wrong Cabaret at the wrong time?

(These are just some ideas for Bucky, if you have others, let's talk! Bucky could be MCU-inspired or comic-inspired, or a mix or something else.)

Limitations: noncon between Bucky and Tony, MCD, ABO, D/s verse (a normal universe with a D/s relationship is fine though), eye gore, eye things in general, unhappy ending, pwp, smoking except pipes.

Title: BDSM AU

Description/Prompt: I was definitely thinking praise kink and rope play, but feel free to include others as well. Who is being tied up is the Author's choice, I will adjust the art accordingly (like including Bucky's metal arm)

Warnings: BDSM, Rope play and I guess other kind of kinks if they get included.

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Sea AU

Description/Prompt: Siren/Mermaid Tony and Sailor/Pirate/Privateer!Bucky - Tony visits his land bound lover, Bucky.

This one is open verse, I have already listed couple of options for them, but feel free to change that.

The world can be dark - Siren!Tony attracts unsuspecting ships (and sailors) to their death. Either by Bucky's sword or by shipwrecking them.

Could be angst - ala Little Mermaid style (original or Disney version) or a completely new one

Could be hurt/comfort - Bucky is the only survivor of his ship, because Tony saved him. But Tony could only bring him to a lonely Island, where the only way out is for Bucky to build a raft, and Tony provides company whenever he can stay above water.

Could be fluff - Tony and Bucky deeply in love, where in the end Bucky follows Prince Tony into the depths of the ocean, never to be seen again by human eyes.

Or any other combinations! Go wild!

Warnings: None, I would say

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Vampire Bucky

Prompt: Vampire Bucky AU with Bucky. How does Tony find him like this? Let’s brainstorm together.

Limitations: noncon between Bucky and Tony, unhappy ending, pwp, MCD, ABO, D/s verse (a normal universe with a D/s relationship is fine though), eye gore, eye things in general, smoking, evil Tony, evil Bucky

A/N: It's still very sketchy, total WIP.

Title: Knight in shining armour

Description/Prompt: The Winter soldier is pulled from a burning HYDRA base by IronMan.

Open verse, it could be that Bucky is slowly methodically taking his revenge on HYDRA, and everytime he is injured IronMan comes and rescues him, but Bucky never stays, all the way until the end.

Or maybe Bucky was kidnapped and wiped, and IronMan wiped out the HYDRA base in revenge and now he is taking Bucky home.

Maybe IronMan finds HYDRA during Avengers one and decides to do some recon on his own and comes face to face with Bucky Barnes.

There are sooo many possibilities!

(While the IronMan armour is intended to be the Bleeding Edge armour, this can be changed)

Warnings: Hurt/Comfort? Possibly darker themes

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Dragon Shifter AU

Description/Prompt: Tony and Bucky are dragon shifters, Tony with fire magic, Bucky with ice magic. They can't stand each other, but they have to get along now... (Basically any enemies/ frenemies to lovers story you can thing of will make me happy, maybe with arranged marriage or a common goal/ enemy?)

Limitations: no A/B/O, no Civl War salt, no non-con between bucky/ tony, no mpreg

A/N: This art is purely self-indulgent. Anyone who wants to just have fun with the idea feel free to pick it up!

Title: Warlord Tony AU

Prompt: Everyone has heard of the warlord Iron Man, a cunning monster whose troops mercilessly slaughter his opponents on the battlefield and who has never lost a single battle. According to some he's not even a man at all: After all, he can cut through weapons and people alike, and survived direct hits that would kill a normal man. His army turns wins fights against superior numbers and his cannons never miss their target. Very few people know that he also hides quite a number of secrets in a calm little valley at the heart of his territory, in a town called Arc.

For Bucky, you can go wild - whether he's part of a tribute, an enemy soldier, an assassin or something else. We're looking forward to talking about plot ideas!

Warnings: implied violence, blood

Limitations: no non-con between Tony/Bucky, no fully evil Tony, no MCD, no ABO, no mrpeg, no team cap bashing pls

Title: Alpine

Description/Prompt: Biker Bucky finds Alpine on the side of the road, abadoned and hungry. Bucky decides to take Alpine to the vet, unfortunately this being - your choice of holiday - there are not many vets are open and most of them is for emergency only.

Bucky worried that the kitten won't survive the night, runs into vet!Tony who is about to head home. However seeing the kitten, Tony decides to help and nurture the kitten. Alpine survives the night and becomes a bike-riding cat, usually traveling on Bucky's shoulders or back pack.

The story could be a falling in love at first sight, or Bucky bringing all kinds of animals to Tony, because Bucky trusts Tony to take care of them. (There maybe a cracky story hidden in there somewhere too *wink*)

Warnings: no kittens were harmed in the making of this prompt - none

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Late night dance lessons

Description/Prompt: Bucky is baking late into the night as a super soldier he doesn't need much sleep and baking is a relaxing hobby. It's 2am, the night is quiet no people around and his favourite music is playing from the stereo.

This is the moment when Tony arrives (could be a long night at the 'shop, or maybe just coming in from an overnight flight, maybe this is the time they regularly meet), they get into a small talk which slowly evolves into Tony staying and talking and Bucky reminscens of old times and what he can remember. It's a soft and tender talking the one people only have at 3am. Then an old times music comes on, reminding Bucky of nights when he went out to dance. And Tony seeing the look on his face offers to dance with him.

Warnings: None

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Feats of Flexibility

Description/Prompt: Bucky is doing push-ups, and someone accuses him of showing off - he had been in the gym for hours now - and Bucky claims that this nothing challenging to him, so naturally he is challenged into proving it.

This is escalated into more and more complicated and complex tasks ending in Tony sitting on Bucky's back while he is doing push ups, with his feet in the air

Poor Tony who only come down to keep in shape and tries valiantly to not stare at those feats of muscles and flexibility gets roped in

Can end in a kiss/confession or more sexy times *wink*

Warnings: None

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Untitled

Description/Prompt: Open to any ideas for some steampunk shenaniganry! Skyships, pirates, dashing captains, scrappy inventors, swash*buckly* adventures?

Warnings: none?

Limitations: DNWs include a/b/o, mpreg, noncon, dubcon between major protagonists, death of major protagonists, unhappy/ bad endings

Title: Fantasy Secret Identity AU

Description: Bucky standing in front of a wall plastered with posters of all sorts, among them some wanted posters, one for Iron Man, one for the Winter Soldier.

Prompt: Tony Stark is a well-known noble and mage, and Iron Man is a well-known villain. Of course, the two aren't connected at all. Until Tony Stark takes on a bet to figure out the identity of the man in the armor - and hires James Barnes, a washed-up mercenary to find any clues possible. It's just as well James has no links to the feared assassin called Winter Soldier, because that would be making things complicated.

I'm always open for other ideas but am really hoping for some identity porn :D

Warnings: None

Limitations: no A/B/O, no mpreg, no CW salt, no MCD

A/N: I haven't inked most of the posters in order to leave the author some freedom for the AU they want to make - I'm open for suggestions about adding stuff in!

Title: Promise of the Desire to Live

Description/Prompt: This is a Pokémon crossover piece. The Pokémon egg on the left belongs to Magearna and will hatch in her original coloring (which are pretty much Iron Man colors). This Magearna will be the partner of Tony. The Pokémon egg on the right belongs to Mewtwo and will have almost the same coloring as Shadow Mewtwo except that his tail will be navy blue. This Mewtwo will be Bucky’s partner. Here’s the prompt –

The Avengers are called to deescalate a situation involving a young and semi-inexperienced Inhuman who lost her family due to a suicide bomber. After receiving her powers mere days after that traumatic event, this young girl, no more than 12, is able to sense who has a strong desire to commit suicide and send them to places/people/beings that need help and are able to bring them back from the brink of suicide.

Omega!Tony and Alpha!Bucky are sent to a Team Plasma lab with an egg incubator in the center of the room with two eggs in it. They take the eggs.

Warnings: Discussions of depression and suicidal thoughts

Limitations: Story cannot be ended with the Pokémon hatching. I want a full-length Pokémon journey from Bucky, Tony, and their Pokémon. I want them to find a way to travel between the Pokémon world and their home world. Also, must have A/B/O. No rape.

Title: Bunny Tony/ Wolf Bucky

Description/prompt: No matter what the media and Hollywood tried to say, there wasn't really that much difference between predator and prey presenting people. A jaguar wouldn't love climbing trees and napping all day anymore than a squirrel would hoard nuts and play deadly games with cars.

But whenever Tony's gorgeous rear and fluffy tail wind up in Bucky's line of sight, he has to clamp his teeth against a strong urge to bite. And when Tony comes down to the kitchen each morning, hair a mess and silky, floppy ears on display, Bucky has to fight more possessive urges. He's sure neither the team or Tony would appreciate Bucky dragging the bunny off to his territory...Would they?

Warnings: N/A

Limitations: Happy Ending, No Civil War, No AoU, No bathroom kinks, Prefer Team as family, Explicit welcome

A/N: The sketch will be colored and have at least one more piece featuring a Wolf Bucky. And maybe a shot of Tony's fluffy tail.

Title: Untitled 2

Description/Prompt: something based on the John Wick tailor scene or James Bond-Q outfitting or just general spies or mafia?

Open for brainstorming or alternate interpretations or anything really! Assassins/Spies not up your alley? image can be edited/background removed if your idea is for a non powers tailor au instead!

Warnings: canon typical violence for story (john wick levels or mcu levels up to author?)

Limitations: DNWs include a/b/o, mpreg, noncon, dubcon between major protagonists, death of major protagonists, unhappy/ bad endings

Title: Hold out your hand

Description/Prompt: The only thing I feel needs to be heavily included in the fic would be about Bucky's relationship with his arm and how Tony helps him with that (though it doesn't technically need to be the main storyline)

If you want other input then I love tropes especially soulmate type situations and Bucky recovery fics, but pretty much any trope is good.

Warnings: NA

Limitations: Character death, age play (I am pretty much open to anything else, any rating is cool with me as is including smut or not)

A/N: I am still messing with the composition and finish on this so if you have any input then let me know :) (for example the smaller images of the hands and Tony could be used individually for page breaks in the story rather than being the main art?)

Title: Porcelain and Metal or maybe a Toy au?

Description/Prompt: This particular piece was created because I really wanted a porcelain ballerina tony and nutcracker-ish bucky.This could be a first meeting scene of sorts with bucky being a shameless flirt but the writer could expand and add more scenes of course! I mostly just wanted a very cute and magic realism-ish vibe.

Warnings: N/A

Limitations: No unhappy endings. A bit of angst for the sake of the plot is fine. Non-consensual acts of any sorts is also a no

Title: Scheherazade AU

Description/Prompt: Based on Thousand and One Nights, war chief!Bucky refuses a spouse and threatens to kill anyone he's set up with. Tony ends up married to him and talks every night, leaving off right before bed so Bucky has to keep him around another day

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Limitations: no noncon/heavy warnings. Also really not into stucky, even as background influence/past feelings. Also don't want any feminization of Tony by having him as 'weaker' or a damsel. I don't like infidelity or overcomplicated drama because of simple misunderstandings. Some smut is okay, but no hard kinks, PWP, or A/B/O.

A/N: Besides inspiration of original story, I don't have much planned. While no warnings, it would include arranged marriage, but no actual noncon please. I like slowburn so totally down for a long fic. Also pretty relaxed with background ships and always here for some epic friendships (tony and rhodey, bucky and nat, etc).

Title: Mirror images

Description/Prompt: Bucky and Winter got separated into two bodies by accident or on purpose, which helps greatly with them getting along better (or at all), until they decide independently to woo Tony

Both of them show how much they care about Tony, even if it's very very different from each other

Tony appreciates and loves both and absolutely can't decide between the two (nor does he want to because both are important to him) and it ends in polamory either a triangle or v-shaped

Warnings: N/A

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: College au meet cute or something

Description/Prompt: No specific plot, maybe Bucky and Tony like each other but both are oblivious to the others feelings. Steve and Rhodey as the "Why am I bestf riends with an idiot" best friend. With minor thundershield please

Warning: N/A

Limitations: No unhappy endings. Bit of angst for the sake of plot is fine.

A/N: Will color and clean this up a bit. I'll also be willing to make more art for the story if ever.

You're the only one I’ve ever wanted.” Or, whatever deity had constructed the fragmented pieces of their souls together, they were made of the same smithereens, and Steve was sure he had known that as a child, holding Bucky’s slightly larger hand and accepting that they were of the same love, without even knowing what such a concept was. Word count: 1630

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.” Word count: 41k

Healing Cat

Steve had noticed that Bucky had been very quiet lately. Well ore so than usual. He also noticed that Bucky hadn’t been sleeping well either. Several times over the last few months he would wake in the middle of the night to find his lover gone from their bed and wandering their floor or in the gym fighting the ghost in his mind. He had dreams too but Bucky’s mind was a mine field with the remnants of Hydra hiding in the shadows. Today he found Bucky on their couch sleeping with a frown on his face. The captain didn’t like that he had been seeing that frown a lot lately.

“Hey love,” Steve whisper gently allowing the former Hydra assassin to follow his voice back to the waking world and away from his demons.

“Hey Babe.” Bucky smiled his voice was rough with sleep. “What time is it?”

“It’s close to 3 in the afternoon. Come on we got shopping to do.”

“Shopping?”

“Yes, shopping unless you want starve. We are out of milk and I promised you I would make my special Spaghetti.” Steve stifled a chuckle as he watch Bucky sit up wide awake.

“Spaghetti? Then what are we waiting for?” The former Soldier was up off the couch and heading toward the door.

“Yes, what are we waiting for?” Steve rolled his eyes as he grabbed his jacket. “Jarvis if anyone asks we went out shopping.”

“Of course Captain Rogers.”

“So Bucky, what were you dreaming about?”

“Nothing just flashes here and there. I can’t seem to get rid of them.”

“I know love but I’m here for you if you ever want to talk about it.”

“Yeah, I know you are Stevie, but I don’t want to bring up your ghosts by chasing mine.” The couple walk down the street a little grey cloud hung over them. It was hard to talk about stuff they really didn’t want to talk about.

“So how was your trip with Tony, Loki, and Bruce, going Camping?”

“I was good, the quiet helped but I missed you. I wish Fury didn’t always have you tied up with Shield work.”

“Me too, but Captain America is always in high demand. Well we had an interesting time while you were gone. Clint and I along with Thor and Peter had a chili cook off. Thor and Peter’s chili was so terrible RC wouldn’t even eat it.”

“That’s bad. I bet yours came out picture perfect as always.” Bucky smiled nudging his lover with his Vibranium arm.

“Well I did win the cook off, but I ended up with RC that night. The smell coming from penthouse was terrible that the Cat refused to go back until Jarvis had filtered it out.”

“Hard to believe those two have animals together and they’re still alive.”

“Be nice Buck, RC is really smart. I’m sure he let’s them know when he’s hungry and when he wants cuddles. Also the bunnies belong to Jarvis and he makes sure Tiny knows to feed his pets.” Steve pointed out.

“RC really seems almost human even though I know he’s a cat. He once helped me through a panic attack. I was having trouble breathing and he suddenly appeared laid on my chest until I calmed down and fell asleep.”

“Why didn’t you tell me Love? Do you need to have a session with Sam?”

“I didn’t want you to worry. It was weeks ago and I forgot about it.” Bucky shrugged trying to put it off as nothing. He didn’t see the concerned look his lover was giving him while he brooded over his flaws.

Steve watched sadly as Bucky withdrew into his head. He wished there was more he could do for his best friend and boyfriend. Then he thought about what Bucky just said. RC helped him through a panic attack. They couldn’t take Tony and Loki’s cat but maybe they could adopt one of their own. If he remembered correctly from their numerous walk there was an adoption center on the next block to the left.

“Hey Bucky I want to stop somewhere before we hit the market.”

“Sure Babe, I’m up for anything.” The Sargent would follow his captain until the end of the line. They walk down the block and made a left at the corner. He was familiar with the area from their walks and runs around the city. New York had really changed since the 40’s but he had adjusted better than Steve to this new world. As he was lost in thought he didn’t noticed he was pulled into a store until he came face to face with turtle that was slowly wondering the shelves. “Uh, Steve where are we?”

“We’re at Wonder Pets Adoption Center. I think it’s time we got our own cat to cuddle and love.”

“A cat really? I thought you would be more into dogs.”

“Yeah I like dogs but I think you and I need a calm soothing presence instead of high energy. Maybe later we will get a puppy but for now we need a cat. Besides if you want some one to play catch with Hawkeye’s dog is always willing to go to the park.” Steve smiled.

“Yeah I like the sound of that.” Bucky relaxed letting a small smile grace his lips as they wandered the cages looking at cat. They looked a lot of cats but none seemed to connect with them until Bucky heard a soft ‘Meow.’

“Hey there, you seem to be foot loose and fancy free.” Bucky knelt down to the cat that wound around their legs. The cat was fluffy white with smoky grey feet and masked face.

“That’s Al, he’s a recent rescue under a year old. He was found outside an Italian restaurant scrounging for scraps. He really is a sweet heart for being a feral cat.” The Adoption volunteer supplied.

“He’s super fluffy that means we’ll have to vacuum more often.” Steve stated watch Bucky pick up the kitten and cuddle it close.

“True but I think he’ll be worth it don’t you?” Bucky’s smile just grew as the cat began to purr.

“Yeah, you’re right. We’ll take him.”

“Al seems to short of a name though, he reminds of snow on the Mountains when we were in Europe. We should call him Alpine.” Bucky said looking to his boyfriend for name approval.

“You know what I think that’s a great name for our new family member.” Steve grinned holding his love with one arm while petting their new cat. He could feel the stress melting away from Bucky’s shoulders. Already their new cat healing his lover and would bring much love and joy to their lives. Life couldn’t be better for the Super Soldier Couple.

The End

Why are you doing this?

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Sharon Carter

Summary: Bucky finds out that Sharon is in a rather grey area

A/N: Bucky and Sam don't know Sharon is the power broker, and Sharon wears a mask so yeah

♡

"Have you heard?" Sam asked, leaning against his sister's counter, slowly sipping his coffee.

"Heard what?" Bucky replied looking towards the man.

"There's supposedly, a new villain that has been doing some pretty shady stuff involving the government" Sam explains, watching as Bucky shifts in his seat.

"And?"

"And, it requires our attention"

Bucky sighed, petting the newly adopted kitten, Alpine, in his lap.

"Today's our day off" Bucky argues, scratching the kittens chin.

"Heroes don't get days off, Buck" Sam says placing his coffee onto the counter.

"We gotta do something, the government has personally requested us" Sam again, explains grabbing his shield. Bucky groans and reluctantly removes the white furball off his lap.

"Let's suit up then"

The clicking of buttons were all that was heard inside the small facility. Sharon, now called the Power Broker, had gotten a full pardon and was planning to destroy the government from the inside out. Of course, she knew what she was doing was risky, and even thinking of Bucky's reaction brought a frown to her face. Don't stop now, she thinks shaking off the sad thought. One final click to the keyboard and Sharon has what she needs, the government's codes. Taking the harddrive out, she places it into her belt. Not before hearing footsteps come her way.

"So, this is what the government needs help with?" Captain America questions amusedly. Sharon freezes, knowing that Sam, her friend is underneath the mask. Don't lose focus, she tells herself.

"You don't look that threatening to me," Bucky steps out from behind Sam, folding his arms.

"You don't know half of what I can do" Sharon says, her mask providing a deeper voice.

"Same goes for you, we're bringing you in" Sam says, Sharon sighing in her head.

"Good Luck"

All of a sudden Sharon grabs a knife and throws it towards Sam, and while he deflects it, Sharon slides onto the ground and trips him from underneath. Bucky jumps into action, slamming his fist where Sharon once was, but she's too fast. Sharon doesn't want to hurt them, so she simply catches them off guard and makes a run for it. Although she knows they don't give up easily. Hearing them behind her, Sharon pulls out her taser gun and shoots Sam leaving him staggered. Bucky, however she can't bring herself to shoot, and instead dodges his swing. Bucky notices, and stops looking at her confusedly. Sharon frowns but remembers the task at hand. Tripping him, she makes another run for it all the while cloaking herself. Once Sam catches up to Bucky, he groans.

"She's quick" Bucky explains, still on the ground.

"So you lost her?" Sam asks, lifting his partner too his feet.

"She seemed to hesitate though, I don't know why"

"Think we know her?" Sam asks, placing his shield onto his back. Bucky stares where she once stood.

"Maybe"

Over the next few days, this Power Broker has gotten away with government information, that Sam and Bucky both assured to get all back, somehow. So the two head to someone they know can help them, or so they believe.

"Bucky? Sam? What brings you two here?" Sharon asks, stepping aside to let them in.

"Hey Sharon, we need some help" Sam says, a determined look on his face. Sharon curses in her head, nodding to them.

"With what?" She asks, smiling. "Hang on Sam, I gotta greet my girl first don't I?" Bucky interrupts, bringing Sharon into an embrace. Sharon welcomes it, missing his touch.

"I missed you doll" Bucky says, kissing her temple. Sharon smiles sadly into his shoulder.

"I missed you too Buck, how have things been?" She asks. Bucky sighs, and she knows exactly why.

"Do you remember the Power Broker?" He asks, she nods.

"Well, they're back and stealing from the government," he starts "which is why we need your help" Sharon's mind goes blank, not knowing what to do or say.

"Doll?"

"I'll do my best" she replies.

A few hours after Sam and Bucky left, Sharon resides in her apartment, conflicted. She's surprised she didn't give it away that she was in fact the Power Broker. She hated the name. But it's what people called her. Sighing exasperatedly, Sharon wipes a hand down her face and curses. Why did they have to be going after her? she needed this information. After what the government did to her, she doesn't know if she can ever forgive them. Giving her a full pardon was a start but, why should she forgive them? They made her life over the past 5 years a living hell, now she could finally give it back to them.

Suiting up, Sharon exited from her apartment window and immediately got to work. She hated going against her friends, especially her lover but, they would never understand.

Breaking into yet another small facility, Sharon hacked the surveillance cameras and headed inside. Once inside, she stealthily took out the guards and placed her trusty harddrive into the computer system. Before she could pull it out, a hand stopped her.

"Sharon?" It was Bucky. And he knew it was her.

Sharon stayed silent, and Bucky gently took her mask off, revealing the women he loved so much. Bucky's face immediately dropped.

"Why are you doing this?" He asked her, still grasping her hand.

"How did you know it was me?" She questioned him, watching as he plucked a tracer off her back. Sharon paled. She fucked up. Bucky frowned and took her other hand into his own.

"Sharon, I don't understand, you-you got a full pardon didn't you? Why are you doing this?" He asked her again. Her eyes painfully shut.

"Them pardoning me means nothing compared to what I had to do for the last five years. They made me leave everything I had behind to start fresh, all while you and the avengers got the protection I needed" she explained, watching as he looked down ashamed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked softly, looking up at her. Sharon sighed, hating those puppy eyes he gave her.

"You would never understand my reasons Bucky" She says sadly.

"Sharon, you know fully that I do understand, I have been on the run for most of my life until people wanted to help me, Steve, Sam, Wakanda, but most importantly you," Bucky starts, placing his hands onto her cheeks.

"You have been there for me every step of the way even when you knew I was dangerous, and I'm so glad that you were because I fell in love so hard with you I never want to turn back, nothing will ever make me turn back" Bucky explains to her, placing gentle kisses onto her face.

"I love you Bucky, more than anything, but this is something I have to do" she says stepping back slowly.

"I'm sorry" She says, tears in her eyes as she begins to run away. Bucky nearly breaks at the sight, but he won't give up on her. He loves her and won't stop trying until she knows just how much she means to him.

A Cabin For Two | Chapter 4: You’ll Never Know (part 2)

Bucky Barnes x Reader

summary: Sam visits for dinner, and you tell the story of how you and Bucky met part 2

warnings: angst, gore, dark themes, violence, reference to smut

A/N: low-key hate this but it was hard to write

***bold italicized indicates flashback

masterlist

The second you said that Steve’s eyes were wide open.

“Agent Y/L/N, you mean to tell me that you and Sergeant Barnes have not only been sleeping together during your deployment here, but he also managed to get you pregnant?’ The general interjects furiously, but still keeping his cool as you’re clearly having a meltdown.

“How long have you known?” Steve asks, ignoring the other man’s pressing questions.

“A few days,” You say, trying to calm yourself down, “I had morning sickness the past few days, and…”

You unbutton your blazer revealing a small baby bump.

“... I’m already showing. Nurse Linda decided that was the only possible reason. I wanted to break the news to B-Buck…:”

You trail off once more, remembering that your lover is now gone, and the tears begin to fight their way back.

“Hey, Y/N, it’s going to be okay,” Steve pulls you back into a warm embrace, “We’re going to send you home, so you can be with your family. I’ll be with you once the war’s over.”

“I’m afraid we can’t do so just yet.” The general interrupts once more, “I hate to make matters worse, but the mission failed and we need someone to go back into the village and gather intel on where Zola might be now. Agent Y/N is the only one capable of the job.”

Steve instantly objects, “General she can’t-”

“No. I will.” You step away from Steve, “Bucky would want me to. One final mission… For him.”

“Thank you, Agent,” says the general, “We’ll get you briefed tomorrow. Get your rest.”

…

“Oh my god, Y/N, I’m so sorry. I never knew.” Sam saus wholeheartedly.

You realize you’re tearing up at the memory as Bucky shifts closer to you and pulls you into him. You feel his metal arm and recall the times he made love to you with all flesh. How he loved to put his warm hands on your cheeks, and the only chill you had was from the air. Before you both were turned into monsters.

“Sorry if it’s too invasive, but what happened to your child?”

Words became tricky.

“Well Hydra was expecting me back in that village, and when I arrived they captured me. Which was the start of all this for me…”

…

Everything is cold when you come to consciousness. You open your eyes to a dimly lit room, and you’re on what feels like an operating table. Above you hangs a towering contraption holding a plethora of needles containing a rainbow of chemicals. To your right is a side table adorned in unwashed tools, and something wrapped into an extremely bloody towel.

You try to open your mouth, but then all the pain sets in.

It feels like you’re on fire everywhere. Yet the center of it all seems to be your pelvis. Similar to period cramps, but nothing like you’ve ever felt before. But how could it be your time of the month? You’re pregnant for christ’s sake.

“Ah you’re awake.” A thick German accent greets you.

“W-where am I? What happened?” You try to remember what happened before you lost consciousness. All that comes to you is returning to the small mountain village for your mission, walking into the hostile you were to rest in, and entering a room full of soldiers… All with a certain symbol on their chest.

Hydra.

“Why am I here? What do you want from me?” You ask, now with all the pieces put together.

“Let me introduce myself first, Agent Y/L/N, my name is Dr. Zola. But, you may have known that from your previous mission.”

How did he know about that?

“You might be confused as to how I know that, but trust me, Miss Y/N, I know everything about you. We’ve been tracking you since you were deployed to Austria. Someone as talented as you will have a perfect place in our team. Along with your loverboy of course.”

“Bucky? How do you know that? What do you want with him?”

Mr. Barnes is one of the finest shooters the American Army has ever seen, and with you, the best spy for the allies, and the serum your golden boy has, you two will be unstoppable. Hydra history will be made with you two. World history will be changed with you two. It only helps that you two are romantically involved.”

“Were romantically involved,” You almost choke, “I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Bucky is gone.”

“Oh, on the contrary, for we took the sergeant before Cap’s boys could find him. He lost his arm due to the fall, but that’s only a minor setback. Similar to yours. Easy fixes.

“Bucky’s alive?! Where is he?!” You were willing to do anything just to see that he’s okay, “Wait, what setback did I have?”

“The embryo within you, but we already handled that while you were knocked out. It won’t be an issue now, or ever again.”

“You aborted my child!?” You wanted to scream and thrash, but you were in so much pain, and you just now noticed that you were held down by restraints.

“You are now unable to have children, but there’s no need to worry! You’ll never have the need to.”

Right then you hear a piercing scream. From a man.

Bucky.

“WAS THAT BUCKY!?” Suddenly you felt nothing but rage course through you. You thrashed and somehow pulled off the restainted keeping you at the table.

You lunged toward the doctor as he began to yell.

“GUARDS! THE SERUM IS ALREADY WORKING ON HER! HELP!”

You reached him and grabbed his neck, closing up his airway.

“What serum!? Where is Bucky!?”

Before he could choke out an answer, two strong men grabbed you and yanked you back. In a wave of anger, you elbow one square on the nose, then turn to face the other one. You had no clue where this strength had come from, but you were ready to use it to its fullest.

You start at the second guard, but he quickly dodges and pulls out some sort of weapon and flips a switch at its base. The tool began surging with electricity and before you could react, he stuck you down onto the ground.

“Oh, Miss Y/N, you have so much potential, but don’t worry, soon you’ll be the soldier you were destined to be.” You heard Zola say before a needle was stuck in your arm and everything went black.

…

It hurt to revisit this, but some part of you knew you needed to tonight. Bucky just pulled you tighter and you are comforted by his strong scent.

“Do you remember your first time seeing Bucky?” Sam asks, cautious of his words.

“No.” You answer, “I went through the serum process faster than Bucky because they started the first time he was kidnapped, so I was on so many drugs that’s all I remember until my first missions.”

“I remember the first time I saw her.” Bucky pipes up. He’s been silent recently, and you were worried about him, but you both trusted Sam enough with these memories. “It was not long after she woke up in the facility for the first time, and it was the first time I broke out of Hydra’s control.”

… Bucky’s POV…

“Хорошая работа, солдат, теперь добей его.” Good work soldier, now finish him, one of the officers ordered me to do.

He had put up a good fight, for a normal man, but as The Asset, he was no challenge for me. I don’t know who this man is, but he’s my mission, and I must finish. I draw my gun and aim at his limp body on the floor, struggling to flee.

Right as I’m about to pull the trigger, a side door opens to reveal two officers dragging a limp body of a woman across the hall.

“Restrain her and check her vitals.” The Doctor orders from the room the trio exited from.

This woman looked familiar, but how would I know? I have no family, for I am The Asset. All I know is war, but this woman brings me a sense of peace. Just looking at her makes me feel… warm.

“Y/N?” I hear myself mutter. I don’t know where that came from, but it feels right. Y/N. How beautiful. Like her.

Wait. I am not The Asset. I am James Barnes. I’m Bucky. Why am I here? Why is she here!? She should be back at camp.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I realize all the officers in the room are charging at me.

“Удержи его! Он помнит!” Restrain him! He’s remembering!

Before I could fight any of the approaching officers, all I felt was electricity. Losing all feeling in my body, I collapse to the ground and get dragged off.

“протри его. начать сначала” Wipe him. Start over.

…

After harrowing stories and some lighter topics, Sam retired to his own house. It left you and Bucky in a bittersweet state, for you were revisiting all the nights of torture and torment Hydra conducted between the two of you, but you were thankful you were now safe, secluded, and satisified.

You were sat up in bed with Alpine on your lap reading To Kill A Mockingbird (Peter Parker recommended it to you after he read it for English class), with the subtle sounds of Bucky brushing his teeth coming from the bathroom.

“Y/N?” Bucky is now leaning against the door frame of the bathroom.

“Yes?” You put in your bookmark and set the novel to the side.

“Why did you go on that mission for me?” There’s a tremble in his voice, as if he’s been holding onto that question for eternity.

“Something within me I guess. I was so devastated about losing you, but every part of me was telling me to go on that mission.”

“But…” He chokes on his words. “You could’ve been saved. You could’ve gone home and settled down, like you wanted. Like we always wanted.”

“Oh, Bucky,” You pull the covers, and Alpine, off and go to him, “How could I? I would’ve never looked at another man the same. How could I? When I lost you, I lost a piece of myself. And Hydra would’ve found me anyways. They were tracking me just like Zola said.”

You pull him into you and hold his head against your shoulder. Bucky was significantly taller than you and extremely broad and muscular, but when he needed to be held he became small and fragile. It hurt your heart to see him like this, but you were there for him for whatever he needed.

The two of you stood in silence for what felt like hours just basking in each other’s warmth. Until Bucky spoke up again.

“Do you miss our child?”

“Everyday.”

You were the happiest you’ve ever been when Linda told you you were pregnant. Nothing made you happier than the idea of settling down with the man of your dreams in the suburbs with a couple of kids and a white picket fence. You were itching to tell Bucky the news, but once you got the news that Bucky didn’t make it back from the mission, all you had left of him was your child. You swore to raise them to be just like their father, but Hydra took your ability away to have children away… Just like they took away your Bucky.

When the government gifted you this cabin and land, you had to make some agreements. You weren’t allowed to leave the country without notifying the military, you had to attend monthly psychological evaluations, and some other precautionary procedures. The one that broke your heart the most was that you weren’t allowed to adopt or foster a child because the government feared you could train them to become the next generation of Hydra killers. Just another precaution.

A precaution that made your heart twist.

You were taken out of your deep thought with the feeling of fur rubbing against your ankles. Looking down you see your pristine white fur baby crossing through your legs, causing you both to laugh.

“Thank the Lord the government didn’t stop us from having kids with four legs.” You joke, trying to make light of the haunting memories. Bucky chuckles and picks Alpine up.

“At least he can’t talk back like a child.” He adds.

…

You and Bucky lay in your tent stark naked huddling for each other's warmth under a thin blanket. Breathless after your late night “fonduing”.

“What do you want after the war is over?” Bucky asks.

“To start a family.” You answer with ease, “I know I’m a military girl, but I want to settle down and have kids.”

“I do too. Not that many people know that because I’m such a flirt.” He chuckles.

“Quite the reputation you must have back home, Barnes.”

He pulls you closer, “But as soon as this war is over, I’m taking you to the suburbs and we’ll get a nice place with a fence and a garden. And have kids.”

“One boy and one girl?” You ask.

“Perfect. Can we name the girl Winnifred? After my mother.”

“We can call her Winnie for short.”

“I knew you were perfect for me.” He sighs happily, “That’s all the family I need. You, me, and a couple of tikes.”

“Maybe a dog too.” You add.

…

Maybe this is all the family you need.

Lovers In The Night

Bucky Barnes x Reader

Summary: Having secret late night encounters with a person who tried to murder you isn’t a smart choice, Bucky knows. Doesn’t he? Genre: Romance/fluff Rating: T Warnings: Swearings, sexy times 4,807 words

Notes: Hello! I’m finally delivering a full fic on the assassin!reader headcanons I posted a while back. It didn’t come out as I wanted but I finally wrote it! I made a Pinterest board and a Spotify playlist based on these two so if you guys want I can post it later. AT LAST, her gala dress is a Spring 1994 Versace wore by Helena Christensen (that my fashion lover ass really needed to bring out). Hope you enjoy it! Happy reading. <3

It’s way past midnight when Bucky finally steps into the threshold of his Brooklyn apartment, a subconscious relieved sigh escaping from his lips.

Freaking peace, at last.

Following his daily routine after a day of work back at the Tower, he drops the set of keys into the bowl beside his door, toes off the black, heavy combat boots, and hungs up his leather jacket to the hallway wall before typing away the keycode to disable Stark’s high-end security system before it goes off. The place completely dark by now, save for the slits of light coming from his poorly illuminated street.

He does a quick sweep through his living room just to indulge his long-date habits.

Everything looks the same, pretty much just like he left back in the morning—except for one little thing.

Bucky Barnes most definitely doesn’t own a pair of Brian Atwood leather heels.

Though he sure as hell knows someone who owns, even if she most definitely shouldn’t be around enough for him to know that. And so, he can’t help but grin at the sight.

With silent footsteps towards his bedroom, Bucky takes his time in stretching his back, muscles aching over a day of heavy training with new recruits and joints popping way too uncomfortably for an enhanced body like his. He takes his hair out of its ponytail and slips off the sweaty Avengers’ navy hoodie. He walks all the way down and tells himself that there is no ulterior motive to this.

No way.

The spicy smell of red wine welcomes him but Bucky isn’t quite interested in that, though he admits a drink or two seems like a good idea after a tiring day.

What holds his attention, however, is the girl lying on his bed with his cat.

“Oh. Would you look at that, Al? Daddy’s home!” She beams, sitting on her knees on the large bed. Alpine’s little face cuddled to her own, a sly smile curls up her lips. “Say hi to daddy, Alpine!”

Huffing out a quiet laugh, Bucky shakes his head in disbelief.

Right there is the girl who actively tried to murder him months ago under someone else’s name. In his home, looking nothing but cozy and comfortable in a little black dress, bare feet and red lips, glass of wine resting on the bedside table.

Life has a funny way of mocking him.

“Now, that’s a sweet sight to come home to, huh?” Bucky snorts. There’s no hesitance as he takes his usual spot on the bed beside her, groaning tiredly once sat down after a heavy training day. “Are you pouring me a glass of that wine or what?”

Watching her reach out for the bottle with attentive eyes, Bucky can’t help but smirk at the pout forming on her lips.

“There’s no food in your fridge, you know. Nada.” She says, a frown between her perfectly lined eyebrows as she hands over the half filled wine glass to him. “The least you can do right now is order me some food. That’s no way to treat a guest, Bucky Barnes.”

Drinking down the expensive wine that his unexpected visitor nicked from the bar’s cupboard, Bucky takes his time on watching her from up close, barely fighting a full smile at the sight.

Having lost count on how many times he’s caught her lurking around his windows for Alpine, and realizing how different this is from the one time she welcomed him home with a kick to his guts, Bucky doesn’t really mind having her over. Funny enough, she looks like she belongs there. With her feet up in the air and belly down to the mattress, she’s got her chin resting on a hand, elbow propped up with mischievous eyes staring right back at him.

Red lips, a very likely stolen designer dress and smooth skin all over—a girl who fully knows that she’s got him, his attention and whatever else she might want for the night.

Not that Bucky is ready to give in that information so easily now.

“Yeah, because you’re a regular guest here, baby girl.” Bucky huffs out a laugh, gulping down the last sips of his wine under her (and Alpine’s) eyes. “What are you doin’ here, anyway? No rich white men for you to exterminate tonight?”

“That’s actually sweet of you. I am a regular guest here.” She grins. And with a mindless shrug, there’s her fingertips reaching out to wipe clean the corners of his lips. “And no, no white men tonight. Except for you, actually, but I’ve already had my shot with you and it didn’t work, remember?”

Wine glass back to the bedside table, Alpine now nuzzled softly against his feet, Bucky finally lets himself sink into the bed.

It’s been just a few hours and his sheets already smell like her.

“Might be an amnesiac assassin but sure as hell can’t forget you, doll.” He chuckles, finally closing his eyes with a tired sigh escaping from his lips. “I’d appreciate not having to defend myself from any murder attempts today, though. I’m beat.”

Silence falls for a brief moment. She hums. And Bucky immediately knows that she’s up to something.

“Poor daddy. Right, Alpine?” She drawls, laughter in her voice as she lifts up to sit on her knees again. Though his eyes are closed, Bucky anticipates the nudge to his left arm by her movements. “Turn around, Bucky.”

His eyes shot open, a grin now curling up his lips as she stares expectedly at him.

“What?”

She scoffs. Alpine gets up from his spot by his legs to jump over her thighs.

“Just turn around—no questions.”

With a pretend suspicious glance at her, Bucky starts to move.

“Don’t pull your shit on me.”

A glare.

“I will if you don’t shut up.”

Complying to her wish with a huff, Bucky finally turns his body around. With his stomach now down to the bed, he lets himself relax once again. Usually, he’d be way more hesitant to do this, baring himself out to someone to a point where all his scars and marks are out in the open.

But at the same time, it’s her.

Given who she is and the lines of her job, he figures it can’t be that bad, right? She’s seen and definitely has done way way worse, if the damage she left him with four months ago is something to go by. So when her hands make their way to his back, fingers brushing and just lightly pressing over his shoulder blades in a soft motion, Bucky shuts down any sort of worry to enjoy his girl’s touches.

“How was work today? Beat up any recruits?” She asks, smirking amused over the low but pained groans occasionally escaping from his lips. “Had another one-off with Tony Stark? Love that guy, by the way.”

“You keep sayin’ that. Way to hurt a man’s ego, doll.” Bucky scoffs. When she laughs, he holds back a smile of his own. “Yeah, got to beat up some recruits today. Good day.”

“You’re mean.” She mumbles. Hands stopping just over her shoulders, a little sigh coming from her lips and a second little nudge to his arm, there’s her second wish. “Turn around.”

There’s no resistance or silly jokes as Bucky turns to his back again. No words shared as she throws a leg over him, straddling his hips with an ease that can only belong to an fellow assassin. And as Bucky’s fingertips make its way over her exposed thighs, he can’t help but feel glad for the prettiest view after a hard day.

But then—her lips are meeting his own and he swears it’s heaven.

By the time she pulls away, breathless with smudged lips, his hands are way past the hem of her dress and tiny bruises are forming a line from the top of his chest to the base of his neck, matching deviously to the pink-ish beard burns littering her collarbones.

Coming back to reality again, his next words pull out a laugh from her.

“I can work with that.”

Evening of a normal Wednesday night and the fancy rooftop ballroom is crowded all over with every rich, pompous, snobby person of Manhattan thanks to the one and only, Tony Stark.

Usually, the Avengers aren’t required to do this kind of thing.

It’s too much of a risk, they aren’t exactly the most welcoming and normal bunch and there’s always a high chance that someone will snap at a member of the team for a past misgiving over all the world threatening situations handled in the past. Bucky would know. He’s had his fair share of people snapping at him for his past, something that he couldn’t care less about by now, much to their dismay.

That doesn’t mean he’s jumping at every opportunity to show his mug at Stark’s galas. From the expensive suits he has to wear, going to the tasteless weird drinks and all the way to the small portions of food, Bucky’d rather just be home with Alpine.

Today is different.

There’s no plausible explanation to understand how he knows she’s there from the very moment he steps into the room.

Maybe it’s soldier intuition, given her eyes follow his every movement. Maybe it’s just familiarity because he knows that walk, he knows that body better than anyone.

And knowing who she is, Bucky most definitely shouldn’t be surprised by her presence in a room filled with superheroes and enhanced individuals that could easily find out everything about her and what she does for a living. He’s also very well aware that he should probably tell someone but this is probably the most fun he’ll ever have in an event like this.

Walking over to her table, where she’s graciously sitting like she really belongs to the seat, Bucky almost fails to hold back a smirk.

The card in front of her champagne glass says her name for the night.

Ms. Helena Christensen.

A silent request for dance and glare from her table companions later, the dancefloor is theirs. Hand in hand to each other, a slow song leading the moves.

“You look lovely in velvet. Boyfriend material.” She teases, lips pursed over holding back a laugh. An unimpressed look later, a giggle finally escapes from her lips. “Where’s it from? Hugo Boss or Tom Ford? Bet all designers fought over to dress your pretty face.”

“Funny today, aren’t we?” Bucky huffs. Despite his jab, there’s no malice to his face when he shrugs smugly. “Does it matter what I’m wearing? I mean, look at you. If you were hoping to fly under the radar, you’re failing beautifully, baby doll.”

Eyes brimming mischief locked to his own for a whole night, Bucky knows that’s not the case.

“Maybe that was my intention, have you thought about that?” She smiles sweetly, her hand on his shoulder now sliding up to cup his neck. “How else you’d find me in a room full of snobby New Yorkers?”

“Are you kiddin’ me? I’d find you anywhere.” He scoffs, a knowing smile pulling on his lips when she glares at him. “You look beautiful.”

It’s true. Under the crystal chandeliers of the ballroom, any guess can easily say that black is her color. The dress fits her body just right, double straps leading to a deep neckline, pieces of soft fabric held back together by gold, shiny pins over her ribs. And with his hands gently trailing down her back throughout the song, Bucky can feel slivers of her warm skin burning his fingertips.

It feels like the nicest kind of torture—if such a thing is even possible.

“I know.” She says, eyes rolling in a way that shows her playfulness. Then, leaning just a tiny bit closer to him, her lips are almost brushing his own. “You don’t look so bad too, Mr. Barnes. Shame I can’t mess up this hair later.”

Feeling his chest flare over her words, Bucky feels lingering eyes upon them. It’s a mix with curiosity, envy and distaste, though neither he or his partner are too worried about those in the moment. And okay, he knows that the team will pester him with undying questions after, but he’s had his fair share of lies to cover up his tracks. So he’s good. She’s good.

The song changes. And as the upbeat rhythm takes the room, Bucky frowns.

“How come you’re here, Ms. Christensen?” He asks quietly, eyes locked to her own as their slow pace continue. “I’ll bet ya one of Stark’s cars that Helena Christensen doesn’t look like this.”

“Oh, you know me. Heard that a fancy shindig would be happening.” She shrugs, a little grin forming on her lips, voice light as she feigns nonchalance. “It felt like a good opportunity to work out a socialite’s vintage dress for a night.”

Bucky squints.

“That’s all?”

An innocent smile.

“That’s all, Bucky.”

Before his mind can even think of a proper comeback, the feel of her soft lips surprises him.

Her body is pressed against his, arms thrown over his shoulders and with his hands squeezing her hips just enough to make her smile against his mouth, Bucky doesn’t want to think of a proper comeback. And then there’s this brief second when she slowly slides her hands through his chest, kisses moving to the shy of his jaw, he spots an unusual commotion behind them.

The music stops altogether, so worried murmurs and gasps take over. A white-headed man falls to the floor. A rush of people towards his table, the team included, so just like that Bucky is being dragged away from her by Sam.

It just happens to be her table, as well.

It isn’t until hours later that they get the full report once back at the Stark Tower. Businessman Richard Miller dead within fifteen minutes due digoxin toxicity.

And oh, Bucky’s bike is stolen in the same night.

The common factor between Bucky Barnes and Mr. Miller?

Ms. Helena Christensen.

Boisterous electronic music blasts through the speakers of the nightclub, blinding colorful lights filling the room as Bucky sits in the VIP area of the place.

Out of all his missions as an Avenger, this is definitely the worst one.

With a light headache forming on the back of his skull, Bucky unwaveringly stares the crowded dancefloor, blue eyes right where his target of the night is chatting up with a short haired redhead woman. This kind of thing isn’t his expertise anymore, he’s a sniper for all intents and purposes, so he can’t help but scowl like Clint’s five year-old while watching the young man charm his way into a pair of pretty legs with some ego filled words.

For anyone else but him—and maybe Steve, the whole thing doesn’t seem so bad. It’s an easy mission, right in their backyard, that just happen to offer some fun as well, given the privileged seats, free drinks, food and music that could possibly land them another kind of night out.

But much to Bucky Barnes dismay, all of the benefits are useless to him.

So now there he goes, taking over a mess that is supposed to be Daredevil’s in the first place, bored to death just to grab intel over a trafficking case.

A relieved sigh almost escapes from Bucky’s lips as he watches his target wave to one of his bodyguards. He knows what’s up next. A brief pep talk, bodyguard escorts his night date to a more private location, bodyguard keeps the door and then leads the date out when everything’s called and done for. It won’t be too fun to interrupt their activities but it sure as hell will be easier, since ignorance to your surroundings is a dangerous bliss.

Knowing every single bit of the club’s blueprint by heart, Bucky knows exactly where to go.

A little too predictable, actually. Rich young boys with gift businesses and cliché offices to charm girls, but once again, it makes everything easier and he’s not one to complain.

Minutes later, down the familiar hallway he goes.

The plan is running smoothly until Bucky spots the bodyguard passed out by the door.

Cursing quietly under his breath, gun in hand, he bursts through the door.

A familiar face under crimson red bangs smiles at him.

Bucky frowns.

“What the hell.”

Leaning over the table and typing away on the target’s computer with no care in the world, she barely bats an eye to the gun pointed point blank to her forehead.

“Bucky! What a surprise!” She beams exaggeratedly, holding back a grin over the astonishment on his face, fingers briefly hovering over the keyboard. “I was wondering how long you’d take to come in.”

“What the hell are you doing here?” Bucky huffs. Holstering his gun again with slow steps towards her, adrenaline flares in his chest with her mere sight. “You here to kill this guy?”

With a huff and an amused glance his way, she doesn’t seem to care too much about any possible risks they might be facing with their little impromptu mid-mission affair.

“He definitely deserves it but I’m not killing him tonight.” She shrugs, a little grin curling on her lips as she stops typing, standing up tall again. “A little birdie told me that an Avenger would be scooping some intel in this club, thought I could offer some help.”

Pausing for a brief moment to finally take in the scene before him, Bucky can’t help but laugh.

It’s absurd, really.

Under the dim lights of the office, the redhead seems to know her way around. A flash-drive connected to the computer, the target is blissfully unaware of his visitors, completely passed out in a leather couch by the wall. And despite the poisonous syringes peeking out of her designer bag, she seems to be at her best form. A black dress that matches his own shirt, leather boots that makes her look taller, collarbones on display over the low neckline.

Bucky doesn’t resist walking over to wrap a gentle arm around her waist, pulling her body closer just enough so his lips are pressing a light kiss to her cheek.

“Hi.”

Though barely sparing a proper glance to his face, Bucky definitely spots her pursed lips holding back a grin.

“Everything you need will be here.” She pulls the drive from the computer in a quick move, pressing her chest to his own to shove the device in the backpocket of his pants. “All the deals and some evidence that can help build a case. He’s got a container with enhanced girls coming in next Friday, by the way, so watch out for that.”

She pats his bottom. Bucky hums.

And with just a few inches separating their faces, tiny details are finally noticed.

A darker shade to her eyes, well applied make-up to the perfect spots and a short cut bright red wig covering her hair are just enough to fly under clueless eyes. But not his. Seventy years of experience and training, Bucky knows better than to fall for something this simple.

“Can’t believe it was you all this time.” He huffs a laugh, vibranium fingers reaching for the fake strands of red hair framing her cheeks. “How the hell did I not recognize you?”

“You’re so cute.” She hums, face leaning into his palm as his fingertips brush over her jaw, offering a plain glare that almost makes him snicker. “You only recognize me when I want you to recognize me, Bucky.”

A smirk growing on his lips, Bucky nods towards the couch.

“What did you do to him?”

“Black Henbane.” She says. An oblivious stare from Bucky gets a playful roll of her eyes. “He’s sedated.”

“Is that what you used on the Miller guy?” He asks, hands sliding down to squeeze her hips with a smile. “By the way, good job on stealing my Harley. She’s named after you so I hope she’s being taken care of.”

As she closes her arms around his neck, fingertips playing under the collar of his shirt, the moment doesn’t feel like a mission at all. And yeah, it might really something to worry about because Bucky doesn’t slip like this very often. Yet—he’s walking through all the red lights, decades old skills becoming momentarily useless, almost forgetting the ulterior motive to the boring nightclub visit with a single look from his redheaded girl friend.

There’s not enough words to express how thankful Bucky is over Sam staying back in the van outside instead of joining him.

“Richard got Foxgloves. They’re my favorite.” She shrugs lightly, face closing into a playful scowl upon her little smirk. “And I’m not a monster, okay? I’m taking care of your Harley just fine. I can ride her better, by the way.”

He chuckles.

“Bet you can.”

A tug to her waist, Bucky searches for her lips.

That’s all it takes for the redhead to step back from his hold, a nonchalant smile drawing her mouth as she turns back to the computer again. There isn’t an anxious bone in her body while she erases traces of her presence in the room, closing files and open tabs, deleting search histories, to then finally turning off the machine.

It’s a pretty sight to watch.

Off goes the short wig that gets folded and somehow shoved into her small bag. Eyes clearer without faux lenses. Careful fingertips over cheekbones wiping away a layer of make-up.

When Bucky is least expecting, his dazed eyes still taking in the small but rather significant change to his girl, her hands are cupping his bearded jaw and her lips are pressing his own in a full, way too intense kiss that makes his chest burn eager.

When she pulls away, pressing a last but soft kiss to the corner of his mouth, Bucky knows he might be in for a good night.

“Let’s go home, yeah?”

Late night to a random Saturday, the Avengers’ compound gym is nearly empty save from a few imsoniac souls that make Bucky some company.

Despite knowing this isn’t his best night, there’s little care to it.

After fighting half of the team to be left behind from a private karaoke night at a random bar exclusively rented for them, Bucky doesn’t really mind having some time to himself. Training out of his own will to purely to keep up with his shape does wonders to his mind and ego, and in a night where he’s likely to either be home with his cat or simply downing drinks that barely makes him wince, he’d rather be working out his stamina instead.

In another perspective, she can be easily added as a third reason for his absence.

Under complete radio silence, Bucky can’t help but let his eyes wander around his surroundings every once in a while, always looking for a familiar frame in every mission assigned, every place visited, every room stepped.

At this point, even a random girl in the gym looks like her.

It’s turning into a subconscious behavior, to wonder where she might be, the things she might be doing, who’s keeping her company if there’s really someone. It’s easy enough to make him riled up that point, so working out it is.

With a few minutes into midnight, Bucky is dropping the worn bandages into his bag, quickly throwing it over shoulder before making his way to the locker room. Silent steps over the muffled pop music coming from outside, dirty clothes left in a hasty mess on the bench outside his stall, he lets himself relax under the warm water.

Until it suddenly snaps open.

The soldier’s insticts take over instantly so Bucky acts before he can even think.

Twisting his body in a quick move, the vibranium arm expertly shoves his intruder against the wall, pinning them to the cold tiles by a hand around their throat. Just then—a familiar voice breaks out the tense reverie.

“Ouch.” She mutters, scrunching her eyes in pain for a brief moment before a smile spreads over her lips. “That’s what I get for trying to pay an impromptu work visit.”

Recognition breaking through his tough mindset, Bucky’s hand relaxes as a heavy sigh escapes from his lips.

“What the fuck, doll. Jesus.” He grumbles, a disgruntled look taking over his features with a frown deepening his eyebrows. Upon his intruder’s casual smile, Bucky sighs heavily. “You want to die under my hands or what?”

“I’d rather die under you in different circustances, to be honest.” She quips, playfully squeezing his wrist before pulling it away to intertwine their fingers. “Did you notice me working out with you back there?”

“I did. You’re slacking on your punches.” Bucky grins, tugging her to stand underneath the shower. “Why didn’t you call me? It’d be fun to spar with you, y’know. I can go easy.”

A smirk curling on her lips, she pushes away his hand and takes a short step back from the shower head. Even when Bucky thinks to be already very acquainted to her tricks and schemes, his chest still flares in hot anticipation. Damp hair pushed back with a nonchalant move, her fingers slide down through her neck before grasping the front zipper of a black sports top that matches to a pair of leggings.

It takes a blink of an eye until the wet fabric is thrown over the glass doors.

“I had other plans.”

Bucky’s eyes flick down.

“This is your other plans.”

She huffs.

“Obviously.”

Eyes up again.

“Not that I’m complaining but what exactly are you doin’ here, baby girl?” He asks, lips struggling to hold back a smile. “This place is a fortress, how did you get in?”

“I was allowed to.” She beams. Paying little attention to the super soldier’s confused glance, her sudden excitement carries on. “Tony Stark is really easy on the eyes, isn’t he? Very sugar daddy, love him.”

Only barely taking note to her little Stark jab, Bucky instantly feels low-key torn between apprehension and expectancy. Surely, it doesn’t mean that.

Right?

“Yeah, yeah, you say that all the time.” Bucky scoffs, fingers tightening around her hips as he squints in pretend suspicion, clear curiosity laced to his words. “You were allowed to? What did you do?”

An impish smile grows on her lips and with arms loosely wrapping up his neck, his fingertips down to her hips playing with the waistband of her soaked pants, she takes a step closer until Bucky’s frame is just inches towering over her own.

“Tony went all the way down for little ol’ me.” She hums, eyes falling shut with no care in the world as the warm water engulfs their bodies. “He anonymously hired Foxglove to kill an ass goverment secretary or whatever. I looked him up, he’s dirty.”

His hands halt.

“What?”

Her eyes open.

“Yeah. But that doesn’t really matter now because he just wanted to talk.” She shrugs, now with a full smirk taking over under Bucky’s stunned silence. “We talked. He proposed to me. And now I’m officially an agent for the Avengers’ back-up team.”

It only takes a second until Bucky breaks out of his bewilderment.

With a giggle that sounds like music to his ears, eager hands are wrapping her thighs around his waist. There’s a hint of a smile against his mouth that Bucky takes on with a rousing kiss, warm, slippery skin close together and pressed against the tiles. No worries on who might walk in to the scene, time slows down for their enjoyment between a sigh or two.

The water is chilly enough to make shivers rise as they break apart. Short, soft kisses to her jaw and neck, content muffled hums that he smiles at.

Nothing but heavy glances are exchanged as she turns off the shower or as Bucky kneels down to push away the soaked leggings or as towels are wrapped around each others bodies. Guilty smiles when stepping out of the locker room together under curious eyes.

Walking down the hallway into the compound, Bucky tugs his teammate closer.

“C’mon, baby doll.” He mumbles, pressing a light kiss to her forehead as his left arm wraps her shoulders against his side. “I’ll show you my room here.”

His girl grins.

“You mean my room?”

A loud explosion shakes an empty building in Croatia.

Over the comms unstable channel, barely audible with a loud rustle, Sam Wilson groans.

“Has anyone seen Barnes and Fox?”

A sharp noise pierces through the earbuds and the voices are clearer now.

Zippers closing, muffled laughs and sudden moans. Sam groans louder, his face twisting in disgust amid the team’s joint protests—surprise, reprehension, amusement.

And just then Foxglove’s voice breaks through a second explosion.

“We’re coming!”

A Healthy Hedonist’s Guide to Slovenia

The question I got asked the most this summer (besides why I decided to elope) was what made me choose Slovenia for our big summer trip. (And, er, where is that, again?)

The answer feels a little silly: it’s because of the Netflix show Chef’s Table. When I watched the season 2 episode featuring Ana Ros and her restaurant Hisa Franko, I was blown away by how beautiful the country looked. Sure, the cinematographers on that show could make a dingy back alley seem romantic. But there was something about the place that felt special—a secret oasis of natural wonders untouched by mass tourism, despite it being just a stone’s throw from the Italian border.

A few months later, I saw that one of my favorite Hashi Posse members, Sarah Wilson, had adventured there. Hearing her rave about the diverse scenery, eco culture, and fresh (gluten-free friendly) cuisine, put it even higher on my bucket list.

So when Charlie and I began discussing another European summer road trip earlier this spring, I thought it would be the perfect place to get the best of the mountains, alpine lakes, and Adriatic seashores—all the hot spots of the summer high season—without having to spend 50 euro a person at every meal.

The country surpassed our expectations in every way imaginable, and though we had a full 10 days to explore, it felt like we were only scratching the surface. That said, one of the hallmarks that makes Slovenia worth at least a week of your time is that you can cover so many different landscapes in a short distance.

With less than three hours of driving, you can visit the fairytale capital city of Ljubljana—with a public recycling system that’s even more impressive than its castle—laze by the water in the quaint, postcard-perfect town of Lake Bled, explore the otherworldly underground caves in Postojna, invoke your inner mountain goat in the Julian Alps, raft in the emerald waters of the Socca River, taste countless natural wines in Goriška Brda (Slovenia’s Napa), and float along the salty shores of the Mediterranean in Piran.

With a population of only 2 million, even during the busiest weekends of summer, the country still felt refreshingly empty and undeveloped. We barely heard any English speakers while we were there, and yet, due to its history, most Slovenians speak perfect English, along with several other languages.

Neighboring Italy, Austria, Hungry and Croatia, the country’s borders have been a constant moving target. Until voting overwhelmingly for independence in 1991, the country was the economic breadwinner of Yugoslavia. It was also the only present-day European nation to be completely absorbed and annexed into Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Hungary during World War II.

Despite this tumultuous history (or perhaps because of it?), the center of Slovenian pride and culture is love. There was far more tourist regalia dedicated to the fact that it’s the only country with love literally spelled out in the name than the fact that Melania Trump came from there. More importantly, the combination of being an international nexus, with a rich landscape, and heart-led people, meant truly memorable food.

Read on for my tips on eating gluten-free in Slovenia, the best restaurants we tried, hotels with stayed in, and how to plan an epic road trip itinerary.

With health and hedonism,

Phoebe

How to Eat Gluten-Free in Slovenia

Thanks to the neighboring countries, you’ll encounter a lot of different culinary influences depending on where you are in Slovenia.

There’s the humble Hungarian-influenced peasant food that uses some combination of sausage, sauerkraut, beans and barley. Homemade pastas and Italian-style pizzerias on every corner. And no shortage of beer at the tavern-like Gostilnas across the country.

Farm-to-table local ingredients reign supreme throughout, with specialties including trout from the socca river, game meats like venison and rabbit, and all manner of wild mushrooms. If you’re a truffle lover, you might just pass out eating in Slovenia, where you can get freshly shaved truffles on appetizers that cost less than 15 euro. Take advantage of the porcini and chanterelles too!

Eating gluten-free in Slovenia was fairly easy. While servers aren’t as knowledgeable about cross-contamination and the particulars (so many thought barley was GF) as in Italy, many menus had in depth allergen indexes or icons.

Even at more rustic gostilnas (inn-restaurants), you can find some simple options like grilled trout with a side of spinachy potatoes, baked sausage with sauerkraut, grilled polenta, or a large salad with the oil and vinegar on the side to dress yourself. Plus, one of the most prevalent grains was buckwheat, which was served as risotto or a hardy side in its whole grain form.

10 Days in Slovenia: A Road Trip Itinerary

Our time in Slovenia was designed around two main events: a 3-day trek through the Julian Alps and the Socca Valley, and dinner at Hisa Franko, which we locked in before we even had plane tickets!

Below is a snapshot of our itinerary, with slight modifications for how I wish we had done things. We had a lot of guidance from our travel guru, Miha at SloTrips, and I know we wouldn’t have been able to design such a comprehensive, robust experience without him.

Especially if you’re looking for more than just day hikes, I’d highly recommend working with SloTrips to design your adventure itinerary. They can put together your whole trip for you, including arranging wineries, hotels and restaurant reservations. But if you don’t want to go all in like a traditional travel agent, I would at least recommend having them handle a hut to hut hiking experience for you, which we would have never been able to dream up or execute ourselves from the States.

Charlie and I are not ones for organized group travel. We don’t like spending most of our trip with strangers! So the self-guided option was perfect. Miha handed off a detailed packet of instructions for every stop we made on our trip and directions down to the turn for our hike so we didn’t get lost. He arranged transfers for the bikes, and to bring us back to our car when we finished. He even gave us a local smart phone with all the contacts built in, PDF’s and marked maps to follow.

Since we knew so little about Slovenia before going, it was also a treat to have someone give us a whole rundown on the history and fairytale lore behind each town we visited, and the best restaurant and local artisans to try. Miha put together an insanely comprehensive 40+ page guide for us that was like our own personalized Lonely Planet. I give full credit to him for half of the delicious things we ate listed below!

A few other notes:

We found the cheapest direct flights through Venice, which is about 2 1/2 hours by car to Ljubljana. To connect through another major city by plane would have taken roughly the same amount of time and was more expensive. We opted to design our trip around a few days in Venice on the backend, which was a fun way to round out the trip.

Instead of spending 3 nights in Piran, if we had it to do over again, we would have added a second night upfront in Ljubljana. It’s small enough to do in 24 hours, but also quite a pleasant place to ease into the trip, learn more about Slovenian culture, eat great food, and more importantly, get over your jetlag before more adventurous outdoor activities await.

Day 1: Arrive in Venice and drive to Ljubljana. Wander the canal in the afternoon and enjoy dinner at Spajza.

Day 2: In the morning, visit Central Market and explore the castle. Drive to Bled (45 minutes) in the afternoon. Walk around the perimeter of the lake. Enjoy dinner at Castle Bled Restaurant.

Day 3: Relax by the water and rent a paddle board or canoe to visit the island in the center. Do a nearby hike to visit one of the great overlooks over the water. Another option would be to rent bikes, take the train to Lake Bohinj (25 minutes), and explore that region.

Day 4 – 5: Drive to Kranjska Gora and begin hut to hut hike through the Julian Alps and into the Socca Valley.

Day 6: Finish the hike. Return to your car and drive to Kobarid in the Socca Valley. Go to Hisa Franko for dinner and stay there for the night!

Day 7: Drive to wine country and do a tasting at one of the many fabulous wineries. You can also pop over to Friuli on the Italian side. Another option is to visit the caves in Postojna. Arrive in Piran in the evening.

Day 8: Relax in Piran. Bike through Portorosso to the salt flats and dip in the Adriatic. Enjoy dinner at Pri Mari.

Day 9: Optional day trip to Croatia or unwind again by the sea in Piran.

Day 10: Return to Venice and fly home.

LJUBLJANA

What to Do and Where to Stay in Ljubljana

Though it houses a third of the population, Slovenia’s capital feels more like a town than a city. You can easily explore all the major landmarks in the old quarter in 24 hours. But it might be worth spending a second night there to try more of the fabulous restaurants and experience some of the more idiosyncratic remnants of socialism, like the pay-by-the-kilo art galleries, or cafes where you can hang out all day like it’s your home and just pay for your time when you leave.

For recommendations on great shops, music and art to check out, my friend Bianca’s article is a great guide. For more recommendations on restaurants that we didn’t have time to try, Sarah Wilson’s post is another great resource.

Hotel Cubo

We loved the sleek feel of this boutique hotel and its proximity to the center of old town. Request a room facing the castle!

Where to Eat in Ljubljana: The Best Gluten-Free Restaurants

Spajza

This restaurant on a quaint side street in old town was the perfect mix of old school Slovenian fare and refined farm-to-table cuisine. Make sure to take advantage of the extensive seasonal specials, which during our stay, included a wealth of fresh truffles (for a fraction of the price you’d find in Italy). I had a beautiful appetizer of baked scallops on the half shell with buttery chanterelles, and Charlie enjoyed mixed mushrooms and truffles with eggs. While my duck breast special was a little tough and undercooked, his entree was the real winner: bacon wrapped rabbit over a silky-smooth pea puree. It was good enough to forgive carving up one of my childhood friends alongside my spirit animal, “young horse,” which appeared multiple times on the menu as a specialty.

TaBar

Off the main canal drag, this small tapas bar is a great option for small plates or a light lunch of fresh local ingredients. The menu is well marked for allergies, and I was able to order a beautiful trout crudo with roe and grilled octopus.

Gelateria Romantika

It was a true treat to find gelato on the same level as neighboring Italy, but with inventive flavors like cucumber-lime and strawberry-basil. The former was a tart, refreshing revelation. And needless to say, there were plenty of options for dairy-free folks and vegans alike. Had I risked a little more cream before our hiking trip, I would have had the black sesame – it was insane. Sadly no GF cones, FYI.

Monstera Bistro

We didn’t manage to make it to this modern space with minimal, creative dishes. But heard great things! At dinner time the service is more formal with elaborate tasting menus. Go for lunch if you want a casual a la carte experience.

LAKE BLED

What to Do in Lake Bled

Lake Bled is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Slovenia, and can be swarmed with people during peak summer weekends. That said, it’s a relatively small town that’s mostly dominated by the lake. And since there are very few hotels and villas built around its perimeter, you can almost always find a quiet place to perch for the day.

The lake itself has garnered a lot of folklore over the years (you’ll notice there’s a lot of fairytale speak built into Slovenia’s major landmarks, in general). Besides the fairies who initially inhabited the valley and eventually flooded it to prevent the nearby shepherds from letting their flock feast off its mossy floor, the biggest lake legend involves the gold bell originally intended for the church in the center of the lake, which upon initial transport, sank to the depths, never to be recovered.

In later history, the lake has also been home to Nazi outposts during WWII, and is said to be the final resting place of several intelligence resources, and a large swath of hidden gold. Note to self: don’t leave anything in the lake that you intend to find again.

The perimeter is around 6 kilometers and has a well-groomed flat walkway along the edge that’s perfect for a light stroll. The sidewalk gets a little too congested for a pleasant bike ride during the high season (when we were there) but bikes make for a great way to get to and from dinner, since the roads themselves are even more congested. When we mapped out our journey one night, it was actually faster to walk than drive!

About a 25 minute train ride away from Bled is a second lake that’s equally beautiful and much less crowded. Sadly, we did not make it to Bohinj to confirm this, but if you have trouble finding accommodations in Bled, it would be the perfect alternative for visiting the lake region, or a second option for daytime activities, should you find Bled too mobbed.

Where to Stay in Lake Bled

Garden Village Bled

We chose to glamp at this fabulous matrix of tree houses and tents rather than opt for a traditional hotel. It’s a little pricey for what you get (and compared to some of the more formal hotels in the area), but we wouldn’t have traded the experience of sleeping by a beautiful creek, above an estuary of trout, and getting to relax by their man-made “beach” during the day. The restaurant on site is quite tasty and they source all the produce from the garden on the premises (and fish from those waterways!). Had we done it over again, we would have splurged for one of the larger tree houses cabins or tents versus the pier tents we stayed in (where you couldn’t stand up).

Vila Bled

The old country home of former Yugoslav president Tito, this beautiful villa is on the lake and includes a secluded area of beach chairs right on the water. You can also rent paddle boards and boats straight from their boathouse. We didn’t get to see the rooms, but the prices seemed reasonable given the grounds on offer.

The Best Gluten-Free Restaurants in Lake Bled

Bled Castle Restaurant

You can’t beat the views at this elegant restaurant overlooking the lake. While ordinarily one might expect overpriced and uninspired fare fitting of such a tourist venue (inside the Bled Castle), instead the tasting menu is refined without being fussy. If you let them know in advance, they will also provide homemade gluten-free options, which for me included a gorgeous tart stuffed with pumpkin and fresh local mozzarella, instead of the pasta course. The highlight of an all-around tasty meal was a seared trout served with buckwheat risotto. Sadly, it rained the night we went, so we enjoyed our meal inside the modern, minimalist interior, but ordinarily, there is outdoor seating cliff-side with a perfect vantage point of the island.

Penzion Berc

Despite it being ranked as number 1 on TripAdvisor, we found this restaurant to be hit or miss. The ambiance was beautiful, housed in a courtyard garden (with a live pianist) a kilometer or so from the lakeside. The white glove service was painfully slow, and the food similarly uptight. But there were some nice dishes, including a venison main course, wild mushroom risotto, and a light, cream-free carrot soup.

Ostarijia Peglez’n

Slovenia takes its fine dining seriously, and most of the plates we ate while in the country were carefully composed. But as you know, I’m usually happier in a cozy trattoria environment. Which is one of the reasons I so enjoyed my meal at this little mom and pop fish shop. It’s a great option for a simple lunch or unfussy dinner of reasonably priced seafood. We got a fish for two served in a large roasting pan with mixed vegetables and potatoes.

Restaurant Vrtnarija (at Garden Village Bled)

If you’re looking for an unpretentious farm-to-table (or garden to table) meal, the restaurant on site of Garden Village Bled is a great option. It’s particularly fun for lunch in the daylight since you can sit in the middle of their man-made pool and feast on tables covered in live grass. Make sure to order a side salad with their beautiful fresh assorted greens. The chicken skewers with rice off the kids menu was a safe and satisfying meal after so many indulgent ones at fancier restaurants.

Sova

Unfortunately we didn’t make it to this cute wine bar just a short walk from our glamping site, but I heard great things. I wish we had tried it instead of Penzion Berc!

THE JULIAN ALPS AND THE SOCCA VALLEY

Your jumping off point for all things outdoor adventure is southwest of the capital, in the towns of Kranjska Gora, Bovec and Kobarid. The first was where we begun our hut to hut hike into the Alps, but you can also find some beautiful day hikes. Bovec, where our trek ended, is where you can book other activities like mountain biking, rafting and sky diving.

So many of the pictures you see throughout this post were taken from our SloTrips 3-day adventure. It was an incredible way to see the country as it morphed from densely wooded forests, to craggy peaks, to mossy Fern Gully banks that lined the socca river. A day hike along the river is a must, though the water looks more inviting than it is. We could only stand putting our feet in for 30 seconds before they went numb!

Going from hut to hut also allowed us to taste some humble mountain foods like sausage and sauerkraut stew. As someone with an information-based business myself, I don’t want to give away our hiking itinerary. So make sure to get in touch with SloTrips if you’re interested in designing your own adventure.

We ended our hike in the Socca valley, which is insanely green and dotted with beautiful medieval churches. In Kobarid, we stayed at an AirBNB apiary for the night among the bees, which was a cool experience, before heading to Hisa Franko for our culinary reward.

They offer a small number of moderately-priced rooms above the restaurant, and if you’re going to be eating dinner there, I highly recommend you try to book for the whole night, as the wine pairing was generous and not to be missed!

So, as for the main event…

The meal at Hisa Franko blew me away. As you know, I’m not one for Michelin star, molecularly overly wrought meals. On the surface, this is what you get during your 11 course tasting menu. But Ana Ros’ cuisine is infused with so much more soul than the sum of her foams combined.

Our favorite dishes were among the most simple: her trout in a milky broth with briny beets to cut the fat, and the only substantial meat course, a beautiful venison medallion with anchovy butter and spruce dust that tasted like the forest.

The iconic pasta dish is sadly not gluten-free. Instead, they served me a delicate sardine. But I stole a little taste of Charlie’s ham and hazelnut broth. It was insane. I would recommend all GF folks request a cup of the broth without the pasta. I asked them if I could have it instead of one of the desserts and they laughed politely and said no.

My favorite part of the experience was Ana and Valter’s hospitality. They aren’t present in the dining room or kitchen during service, but since the restaurant is an extension of their home, you can see them having family dinner with their kids and wandering around during the day. They are incredibly friendly and make you feel at home.

GORISKA BRDA WINE REGION

These hills, a stone’s throw from Italy’s Fiuli region, are considered the Slovenian Napa. It’s a small area with lots of producers clustered around, and many have restaurants on the premises that offer tastings along with a tasty meal. There’s a large influence from Italy and much of the meats and cheeses (as well as the tourists) come from across the border.

Since most of these wineries of small family-run operations, you can’t just show up. Email them in advance to set up a tasting session or lunch reservation.

The wineries recommended to us were Klinec Medana for orange wines, Movia for natural whites, Edi Simcic for great reds, and Erzetic to learn from a younger next generation producer. We had a lovely lunch at Klinec Medada with overlooking the grapes with beautiful produce from their neighboring farm. I wasn’t as wild about the orange wines, but they were interesting to try.

The wine pairing at Hisa Franko introduced us to a lot of lesser known producers, and throughout the rest of the trip we tried many of the above wineries off the restaurant lists, so by the time we made it to wine country, we didn’t feel the need to do more than 1 appointment.

In general, the wine in Slovenia is mostly natural, organic and biodynamic. We got to try some interesting grapes I wasn’t familiar with like Malvasia, and generally loved everything we tried. If you find a Slovenian wine on a your menu, order it!

PIRAN

Last but not least, we made our way to the Istrian Peninsula, which is home to Italy, Croatia and Slovenia. In fact, if you lived in Piran for most of your life, there’s a chance that you’ve had citizenship to 4 different countries as the borders changed.

What to Do in Piran

This sleepy seaside village is the perfect place to unwind after a rigorous few days of adventuring. The Adriatic sea is incredibly buoyant, pristine, and perfect for habitual porpoising. You won’t find sandy shores, but the perimeter of town is lined with some pebbly patches to perch, and plenty of small concrete docks to dive off of if a dip is all you’re after.

The high salt content also makes it a hub for sea salt production. If reading by the rocky shore isn’t enough activity for you, try renting bikes and visiting the salt pans 5 kilometers outside town center towards Portorosso, the more commercial stretch of the marina. It’s an easy flat ride along the shore. Otherwise, your best bet for exercise is to hike up to the church at the center of town and take in the view.

Where to Stay in Piran

Hotel Piran

This is the main game in town, and though we found it a little shabby and overpriced for you what you get, you can’t beat the location and view. The rooftop restaurant is a great place for an evening spritz as the sunsets. And the breakfast buffet even had GF bread!

Note that cars aren’t allowed in the town center, but some hotels like Piran offer a shuttle service so you can drop off your bags and then return your car to the lot at the edge of town and get a ride back in. The hotel also offers bikes to rent that were very pleasant for exploring the outlying areas.

The Best Gluten-Free Restaurants in Piran

Pri Mari

We loved this cozy gostilna so much that after a mediocre experience at Pavel (don’t recommend), we decided to go back a second time for dinner. The sea bass baked in sea salt with baked potatoes and spinach is the perfect simple meal. For those who can partake, Charlie raved about his vongole pasta. And I was majorly smitten with my saffron risotto with prawns. Make sure if you’re celiac to avoid the crispy potatoes that come with some of the single serving fish entrees as there’s cross contamination in the fryer. Don’t miss the pannacotta for dessert and ask for a special aperitif to go with it. Whatever bitter anise-y spirit they served was just what we wanted.

Rizibizi

A short walk or bike ride outside town towards Portorosso, this restaurant is one of the more formal in the area, with prices to match. Still, the prawn and truffle risotto was affordable by US and Italy standards. We also had a beautiful beef carpaccio with truffles. Basically, we ate an entire truffle between the two of us and had no regrets.

Pavel

Right in the center of town by the shore, this restaurant is slightly touristy with some mediocre dishes as a result. BUT it was one of the few places with gluten-free pasta in town and the clams did not disappoint. I’d recommend it just for a vongole with a view.

Limitations: noncon between Bucky and Tony, MCD, ABO, D/s verse (a normal universe with a D/s relationship is fine though), eye gore, eye things in general, unhappy ending, pwp, smoking except pipes.

Title: BDSM AU

Warnings: BDSM, Rope play and I guess other kind of kinks if they get included.

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Sea AU

Description/Prompt: Siren/Mermaid Tony and Sailor/Pirate/Privateer!Bucky - Tony visits his land bound lover, Bucky.

This one is open verse, I have already listed couple of options for them, but feel free to change that.

The world can be dark - Siren!Tony attracts unsuspecting ships (and sailors) to their death. Either by Bucky's sword or by shipwrecking them.

Could be angst - ala Little Mermaid style (original or Disney version) or a completely new one

Could be fluff - Tony and Bucky deeply in love, where in the end Bucky follows Prince Tony into the depths of the ocean, never to be seen again by human eyes.

Or any other combinations! Go wild!

Warnings: None, I would say

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Vampire Bucky

Prompt: Vampire Bucky AU with Bucky. How does Tony find him like this? Let’s brainstorm together.

A/N: It's still very sketchy, total WIP.

Title: Knight in shining armour

Description/Prompt: The Winter soldier is pulled from a burning HYDRA base by IronMan.

Open verse, it could be that Bucky is slowly methodically taking his revenge on HYDRA, and everytime he is injured IronMan comes and rescues him, but Bucky never stays, all the way until the end.

Or maybe Bucky was kidnapped and wiped, and IronMan wiped out the HYDRA base in revenge and now he is taking Bucky home.

Maybe IronMan finds HYDRA during Avengers one and decides to do some recon on his own and comes face to face with Bucky Barnes.

There are sooo many possibilities!

(While the IronMan armour is intended to be the Bleeding Edge armour, this can be changed)

Warnings: Hurt/Comfort? Possibly darker themes

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Dragon Shifter AU

Limitations: no A/B/O, no Civl War salt, no non-con between bucky/ tony, no mpreg

A/N: This art is purely self-indulgent. Anyone who wants to just have fun with the idea feel free to pick it up!

Title: Warlord Tony AU

For Bucky, you can go wild - whether he's part of a tribute, an enemy soldier, an assassin or something else. We're looking forward to talking about plot ideas!

Warnings: implied violence, blood

Limitations: no non-con between Tony/Bucky, no fully evil Tony, no MCD, no ABO, no mrpeg, no team cap bashing pls

Title: Alpine

Warnings: no kittens were harmed in the making of this prompt - none

Title: Late night dance lessons

Warnings: None

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Feats of Flexibility

This is escalated into more and more complicated and complex tasks ending in Tony sitting on Bucky's back while he is doing push ups, with his feet in the air

Poor Tony who only come down to keep in shape and tries valiantly to not stare at those feats of muscles and flexibility gets roped in

Can end in a kiss/confession or more sexy times *wink*

Warnings: None

Limitations: No unhappy/ambiguous ending, no alcoholism (but recovery or past mentions are fine), no watersports (kink)

Title: Fantasy Secret Identity AU

Description: Bucky standing in front of a wall plastered with posters of all sorts, among them some wanted posters, one for Iron Man, one for the Winter Soldier.

I'm always open for other ideas but am really hoping for some identity porn :D

Warnings: None

Limitations: no A/B/O, no mpreg, no CW salt, no MCD

A/N: I haven't inked most of the posters in order to leave the author some freedom for the AU they want to make - I'm open for suggestions about adding stuff in!

Title: Promise of the Desire to Live

Omega!Tony and Alpha!Bucky are sent to a Team Plasma lab with an egg incubator in the center of the room with two eggs in it. They take the eggs.

A/N: The sketch will be colored and have at least one more piece featuring a Wolf Bucky. And maybe a shot of Tony's fluffy tail.

Title: Untitled 2

Description/Prompt: something based on the John Wick tailor scene or James Bond-Q outfitting or just general spies or mafia?

Open for brainstorming or alternate interpretations or anything really! Assassins/Spies not up your alley? image can be edited/background removed if your idea is for a non powers tailor au instead!

Warnings: canon typical violence for story (john wick levels or mcu levels up to author?)

Limitations: DNWs include a/b/o, mpreg, noncon, dubcon between major protagonists, death of major protagonists, unhappy/ bad endings

Title: Hold out your hand

If you want other input then I love tropes especially soulmate type situations and Bucky recovery fics, but pretty much any trope is good.

Warnings: NA

Warnings: N/A

Limitations: No unhappy endings. A bit of angst for the sake of the plot is fine. Non-consensual acts of any sorts is also a no

Title: Mirror images

Both of them show how much they care about Tony, even if it's very very different from each other

Tony appreciates and loves both and absolutely can't decide between the two (nor does he want to because both are important to him) and it ends in polamory either a triangle or v-shaped
