Exes To Lovers Masterlist

all i'll never know is if you want me (ao3) - ilovethatforme mj/peter T, 7k

Summary: She locks her phone, sitting up on the couch as she frowns at him. It’s not her angry frown, it’s her disappointed frown. The one she always gives him. She gets off the couch, walking to her room and his chest aches as he realises he won’t hear her voice again today unless she calls someone from her room.

But she turns to look at him before she enters her room and he allows himself to hope. It’s foolish really.

“Don’t fucking talk to me.”

OR

Roommates after nwh

'cause I've got the love (ao3) - plutosrose steve/bucky E, 11k

Summary: Three months after breaking up with him to pursue his photography career, Bucky shows up on Steve's doorstep with an unexpected announcement - he thinks he's pregnant.

Come Loose Your Dogs Upon Me (ao3) - powerfulowl (StuckyFlangst) steve/bucky E, 57k

Summary: Steve’s gaze ran up and down across Bucky’s naked skin. Every time, no matter how many hundreds, maybe even thousands by now, times Steve had looked at Bucky naked, Bucky felt bashful and exposed. No one else had ever looked at him like Steve did, so slowly and deliberately, savoring every part of Bucky even though he’d tasted them so many times before.

-----

Bucky and Steve have been together for years - married in the Fall of 2011. Steve is sick a lot and Bucky works hard to support them both, spending weeks away from home, always coming back to Steve. But when Steve gets the opportunity to receive a new treatment, it will change everything - not just his body, but their relationship and the life they have together.

Exes and Doughs (ao3) - maximoffs steve/bucky T, 11k

Summary: Captain America could have decided to walk into any donut shop on that Tuesday afternoon, but he had to walk into Bucky’s. “Your life isn’t Casablanca,” Bucky said to himself, out loud, counting out the drawer in the back.

OR (to the tune of Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me"): He's a donut-maker and Steve's on the Avengers ♬ OR: Bucky Barnes, ex-assassin-turned-donut-chef, gets a visit from his ex-boyfriend-turned-protector-of-the-People, Captain America.

For the Summer (ao3) - CoraRochester, fadefilter, steebadore steve/bucky E, 44k

Summary: Fifteen years ago, Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes had been two teenagers in love, spending sweltering summers in Eagle Inlet, Steve's sleepy lakeside hometown way up in the Adirondacks. Sure, Bucky's rich family only came up in summertime, but they were off to college soon and they'd be together forever, right?

Not quite.

These days, Bucky's back in town for the summer and it turns out, some hurts—and firsts—are hard to get over.

... There was something venomous and fiery chasing itself through Steve’s veins, choking the life out of his common sense. He put a hand on Bucky’s waist, small and tight, shifting with Bucky’s quick breathing and he squeezed, trying to ground himself. It didn’t work. There was hardly any space left between them. Bucky’s hair brushed the tip of his nose. It was citrus and sweat and like a gut punch of memory. “We could see if I’m any better now,” Steve said. “I’ve had a little more practice since then.”

(if only in my dreams) (ao3) - jehans steve/bucky, natasha/sam E, 45k

Summary: Bucky’s eyes fall on a DM from a Twitter user that hasn’t ever interacted with his highly secret ‘model account’ — where, under the pseudonym ‘Winter,’ he teases and sells artistic photos of himself from the mouth down, in very naked and compromising positions — but one that he knows instantly. One that he knows well.

User @art_mad91. The dorkiest username in the world. A personal twitter account, with no real name attached to it, belonging to one Steven Grant Rogers.

Steve, Bucky’s best friend in the entire world, and the secret love of his life since they lost their virginities to each other when he was seventeen, just DMed Bucky on his porn account.

Shit.

i still miss someone (ao3) - powerfulowl (StuckyFlangst) steve/bucky E, 27k

Summary: Bucky Barnes left Steve Rogers at the altar on their wedding day. Years later he appears back in Steve's life, almost dead, in a hospital bed. A story of two broken hearts.

knew we'd be alright (ao3) - burning_brighter steve/bucky E, 82k

Summary: In 2012, Steve is a man out of time, trying to battle his demons and build a life in a new century when he meets Bucky, an FDNY Lieutenant helping with cleanup and rescue after the Battle of New York.

In 2014, Bucky is a fire Captain, trying to get his life back on track after a rough break up with his super soldier boyfriend.


Going back and forth between past and present, see how they fall in love, how their relationship falls apart and how it inevitably falls back into place.

Mr. Right and Mr. Right Now (ao3) - iam93percentstardust steve/tony E, 50k

Summary: Radio host Steve Rogers knows it's a bad idea to keep falling into bed with his co-host. He can list the reasons with his eyes closed: they work together, they already tried dating, their breakup had been so explosive they hadn't spoken or even seen each other in ten years despite working in a relatively small field - there are a million of them. But he can't seem to stop himself, and since Tony can't seem to stop either, surely it can't be that bad of an idea, right? It's just sex. It doesn't matter that he wants to stay, that Tony wants him to stay too. But when the owner of the station announces big changes coming to their show, Steve is forced to confront his lingering feelings for Tony - and whether he's waited too long to confront them.

Some Things Should Never Change (ao3) - spideysmjs mj/peter E, 20k

Summary: "She’d watch him love and protect the city for so long, right before her eyes and from hundreds of miles away. The city is Spider-Man’s responsibility, Spider-Man is Peter Parker, and Peter Parker is her responsibility."

Michelle Jones' life with Peter Parker through the years – she finds herself, loses herself, and finds herself along the way.

Space Oddity (ao3) - crinklefries, cyclamental art (cyclamental), nalonzoo steve/bucky M, 147k

Summary: After the world ends, things happen to Bucky in this specific order: he helps defeat Thanos, he rejects Steve’s attempt to address Feelings, he watches Steve volunteer to put the Infinity Stones back in time, he waits for Steve to come back, he is sad when Steve does not come back, he realizes that everyone thinks Steve disappeared in 2012 (???), he gets taken to space by Carol Danvers (!!!), he meets up with a depressed literal alien Norse God, he and the depressed literal alien Norse God travel through space, he and the depressed literal alien Norse God hit a wormhole and fall into the--Multiverse.

What the fuck.

This is the story of how Bucky and Thor pick up the pieces of their lives, find their own worth, find their own person, and find their way out of a multiverse of 100 realities stitched together with 100 tropes. There’s love, there’s friendship, there’s an extreme amount of Tesseract fuckery, but most importantly there are sexy vampires. Bon Appetit.

Stay Inside My Heart and Live Inside My Memory (ao3) - deadto27 steve/bucky M, 47k

Summary: The thing is, Bucky Barnes would have waited forever for Steve Rogers. He thinks he could have handled it. If only Steve had just compromised a little. But the thing is, he never did. And Bucky has to finally be strong, because they can't keep going like this. He can't. So he leaves. And now he's just left with memories.

-----

Steve clenches his jaw and goes for the box, unfolding the top flaps to see what’s inside. And what’s inside is…well, it somehow feels like all the oxygen leaves the room as he sees what’s inside. Because it’s his things and clothes and trinkets and memories. Things he left at Bucky’s place. Things he gave Bucky. Things Bucky treasured. Shoved into a box haphazardly.

Steve swallows as he stares at the items in the box, because suddenly this all makes sense and it’s the kind of sense that makes Steve feel a little like he’s dying. “D-did he say anything else?” he asks, voice cracking. “Bucky?” he clarifies. “When he was here?”

“Yes, Captain,” Friday answers. “He said to say goodbye.”

The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you (ao3) - Thorkyriebabes mj/peter E, 3k

Summary: When MJ comes careening back into his life a year after their post-highschool breakup, it’s easy to fall back into love (and bed) with her. It’s significantly harder to figure out the pattern of the mysterious murders that start popping up in the following months.

today must be my lucky day (baby, you are the prototype) (ao3) - tvfanatic97 mj/peter E, 10k

Summary: Or: A decade after breaking up, MJ is reunited with her ex when she finds him bleeding out in a dumpster, re-awakening dormant feelings.

when the chips are down (ao3) - brideofquiet steve/bucky E, 52k

Summary: “Steve, Christ, it’s just a small thing, okay? You don’t need to worry about me.”

“What if you end up back in prison?”

“I’m not gonna—”

“Well, how do you know that? Just tell me, or I’m gonna think you’re in with the fucking mafia or something.”

“Jesus, it’s not the mafia.”

“Gang. Drug cartel.”

“Oh, lay off! I’m fine, Steve, I’m not in a gang and I’m not going to end up in prison again. Please just calm down.”

“How do you know?”

Bucky exhales violently. His voice comes strained and halting through the phone. “Because—because I’m working for the guy who put me there last time.”

He wanted to talk with him for hours upon hours about nothing and marathon terrible movies and shop for stupid socks. Remus wanted him. Remus wanted him for so, so long. Remus wanted Sirius even when he had Sirius. But within six months, the wanting, the longing, the fonding, it all got ripped away from Sirius faster than he was able to get a grasp on it.
