I’ll build a fort for you by ElStark - @atticuos [4.9k, Gen]

Building a fort is their way of taking care of each other, since Sarah showed them how to build one.

-*-

[“No one took me of course, they all know who I am… ‘Sarah’s sickly one,’” he smiled, small and bitter. “’Can’t take you, too small, too weak, too sick, too much of a hassle.’” He shrugged, “I know they’re right, seems all I’m good for is being a burd-”

“Don’t you say it, Rogers.” Bucky spat through his teeth, “or I swear on all that’s holy imma kick your ass until you take it all back.”

Steve clenched his jaw and looked away.

“It’s not true.” Bucky insisted, “al’right? It’s utter bullshit. What do you think it’d be like for your ma? Huh? Me?”

Steve turned to look at him straight in the eye, and Bucky barely caught the hitch in his breath; Steve looked so old and tired. “Easier.” Said Steve simply.]

The Right Time by wearing_tearing [16.4k, Teen]

“So let me see if I got this right,” Bucky says, gaze focused on Steve. “You want to fake date me.”

“No,” Steve shakes his head, and then corrects him, “I want us to pretend to be engaged.”

The Wedding of Bucky Barnes by stephrc79 [67.8k, Teen]

This is the story of how an instagramming, trolling, pain in the ass got married to an equally annoying, artistic, bossy, stubborn blond oaf.

90-years-old smooth af fella flirting with a 100% Done wrong number sassmaster, with copious amounts of swearing and way too many Beyoncé jokes. Shrunkyclunks 4 lyfe etc.

The Pursuit of Happiness by notoska [11.4k, Teen]

Bucky eats another spoonful of oatmeal and sets down the bowl. Then he drops his whole body into the beat. All his joints loose, just swaying and throwing himself to the pulse from the speakers.

…okay.

“How— how are you feeling?”

Bucky stills his upper body. Knees bouncing easy, head bobbing. He holds Steve’s eyes. Is that— a nod? Or—?

Probably a nod. Continue like this is normal, “You seem like you’re feeling a lot more— energetic? That’s good.”

Steve nods and finds himself idiotically matching Bucky and nodding to the beat. He jolts to still his head.

“Okay, well.”

The song has been strangely mellow for a while and suddenly the beat drops in, hard and twice as fast. Bucky drops with it, slamming his head back and forth to the throbbing sound. Too fast, hair a tangled blur.

Steve stares. Speechless. He wills himself not flee the room with every ounce of conviction he has and soaks in the most exquisite embarrassment he has ever known.

- - - - - - -

In which Bucky finds himself through breakdancing and Steve can. not. deal. with. it.

Steve gets a lap dance at the end. I think that is maybe all you need to know?

Leg Day by Slenderlock [12.1k, Explicit]

“So talk to him,” Sam says.

“I can’t,” Bucky groans. “I can’t, Sam, I. He just.” He fluffs his hair up and stares at Sam, distraught. “I want him to bench press me.”

“Okay, so it’s serious,” Sam interprets. “Got it.“

(Or: The one where Sam is Bucky’s long-suffering roommate, Bucky is a hot mess of a millennial, and Hot Steve spends far too much time on the Lat Pull-Down machine.)

Catfish by L1av [28.4k, Explicit]

Catfish /ˈkatˌfiSH/ - A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they’re not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.

Steve Rogers is a famous movie star, known for his role as Captain America. Bucky Barnes is a bored law student who drinks too much wine. Bucky gets on match.com to boost his confidence. What he doesn’t expect is a guy using Steve Rogers’ pictures on a dating profile. Bucky decides to mess with the guy. After all, what idiot uses Steve Rogers’ pictures on a dating site?

Not like it’s really him, right? Bucky may need more wine.

My Dear by vulcansmirk [29.9k, Explicit]

The Soldier stares down at the floor, breathing hard through his nose.

“And you still wanna fix me,” he says.

Steve shakes his head. “There’s nothing to fix, Buck. I just want to bring you home.”

The Avengers Hate Club by notebooksandlaptops [52.4k, Teen]

Bucky Barnes is 99% certain that if he hears one more Avengers song, it could be fatal.

He’s also 99% certain that the stranger with the bright smile and blonde hair he met at the cafe walked out of his dreams.

Starting an Avengers hate club with a man who buys you cake to combat your mental break down at hearing a stupid song one too many times seems like a fine idea, what could go wrong? It’s not like either of them knows the Avengers….or that either one of them is in the band….right?

Or

The one where Bucky falls hopelessly for Steve and starts an Avengers hate club with the lead singer of the Avengers.

Captain Fantastic and the Pineapple King by buckyfuckybarnes [30.6k, Teen]

Shit.She hadn’t noticed him yet. Maybe he could turn and leave without them noticing – Sam would understand. Sam was the most empathetic person he knew. He wouldn’t scold Steve for coming home spice-less to avoid an awkward encounter with an ex. Surely.They drew closerFuckPlease don’t notice me, please don’t notice me, please don’t notice me…“Steve?”Fuck.In which Steve is saved from his ex in a grocery store, Bucky Barnes is Way Too Chill about absolutely everything, and Sam has had enough of all of these goddamn pineapples in his fucking house.Or: The five times Steve received a pineapple (and one Piña Colada) and the one time he didn’t

Keep Making Trouble ‘Till You Find What You Love by Rena [41.7k, Mature]

“We should date,” Bucky blurts out, inspiration suddenly striking.

That gets him Steve’s attention, at least. “Excuse me?” he asks.

“No no no, hear me out,” Bucky says. “You wanna get back at them, right? Imagine the following: We date, fall madly in love, then have the most horrendous breakup in history and make them deal with that. They’ll feel terrible because they set us up, and we get to eat free ice cream and see their faces when we eventually tell them we pulled one over them,” Bucky finishes with a smug grin.

“That’s a terrible plan,” Steve says.

Effects of Obliteration by geneticallydead [25.5k, Explicit]

“I watched a documentary on the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima a while ago. In the blast radius, sometimes a… a person blocked the bleaching effect of the radiation. So the person was vaporized, but a shadow was left behind, on a bridge or a wall – their shape, their outline, when they were completely gone,“ Steve said. "It’s called a nuclear shadow.”

“If you’re implying the Soldier is like a nuclear shadow, then that is seriously fucking dark, man,” Sam said dryly.

OR

Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the Winter Soldier was sent to the American arm of Hydra - only there was a malfunction in the cryo-unit that meant it couldn’t be opened, and it was left, powered but abandoned, in an underground base.

25 years later, the Avengers find it.

Steve’s List by bell_yay [14.7k, Mature]

Itsy Bitsy Yoga by wearing_tearing [59k, Teen]

Bucky teaches a Parent & Toddler Yoga class. Steve and his two year old son are his students.

One Caress by fuck_me_barnes [26.1k, Explicit]

Steve's rarely been touched in a way that didn't equate to some kind of hurt. The cold metal of a stethoscope against his frail chest or the sting of a needle drawing yet another blood sample, when he was a sickly child. The bone-shattering punches thrown by the neighborhood bullies on the playground, or by his own father at home, drunk and wild. His mother, weak and clutching at him as she grew more incoherent with the drugs as the cancer ate away at her insides. Touch was something he shied away from, something he told himself he just didn't want.

Except...he did. He just didn't know how.

Until he finds a flyer for a local "affection and intimacy services" program.

In which Steve learns how to become comfortable with touch, and there is one very good dog, and a slow-burn romance.

Thirty-Eight Days and Counting by thecommodore_squid [40.2k, Mature]

It didn’t escape him that Steve shared his assumed last name. “Are you gonna be my cousin?” Bucky asked dully.

Steve frowned. “Husband, actually,” he said easily, holding up his left hand to show a typical golden band.

Bucky scowled and closed the door.

AKAAn AU in which Bucky is put in the witness protection program and Steve is the agent hired to protect him/pretend to be his husband.

You and a Test of Will by thepinupchemist [72.4k, Explicit]

Bucky Barnes suffered from depression before he joined the army, and when he came back, he suffered tenfold. Steve Rogers painted his nightmares and didn't talk about how he lost his leg. Natasha believed it was possible -- just maybe -- that broken people could help heal one another.

Snickerdoodles Are the Way to Steve’s Heart by HMSLusitania [15.8k, Teen]

Steve can't help but be a little annoyed when Natasha signs him up for a cooking class - a couple's cooking class. At least, he's annoyed until he meets the instructor, who might just be the most attractive man Steve has ever laid eyes on.

Featuring chef!Bucky, bitterly single Steve, and their meddling friends.

perfectly right wrong number by melonbutterfly [31.9k, Teen]

It all starts because Steve is too dumb to handle his smartphone.

A wrong number AU in which Bucky Barnes doesn't enter Steve's life (meaning: Bucky wasn't born until the eighties, but Steve is still Captain America) until Steve accidentally dials the wrong number. Wherein there is a lot of texting, some advice via Natasha and Darcy, a bit of pining, and a first date in an amusement park. Oh, and on top of being a disabled veteran, Bucky is a professional catwalker. Literally.
