De-Aged Steve Rogers - a fic rec list

Some of my favorite stories featuring Steve (and sometimes others) turned into a child or younger adult.

Chase All The Clouds From The Sky by written by IndigoNight, with podfic read by reena_jenkins (@jeminamoonnight, @reena-jenkins) (Gen, General Audiences, 15,421 words)

Summary: Magic is the worst. The Avengers are prepared to deal with a wide variety of crises, but an abruptly six-year-old Steve Rogers is not one of them. Especially not when their resident Rogers-expert is reluctant to cross the Winter Soldier-sized gap separating him from his miniaturized best friend.

5 Times an Avenger Realized They Don't Know Steve + 1 Time One Did by WendyDarling95 (@cap-is-bi) (Samsteve, Teen And Up Audiences, 22,876 words)

Summary: A witch sends Steve back mentally and physically to who he was in 1941, and now the Avengers are starting to realize that while they've known Captain America for years now, they may never have met Steve Rogers. Takes place in 2016 5 chapters of an Avenger realizing Steve is more than he seems + 1 where someone knows him very well

More below the cut!

Baby Steve Adventures by catty_the_spy (@cattythespy) (Gen, General Audiences, 2,955 words)

Summary: Captain America gets hit by a spell during a battle. The rest of the Avengers look after him. Also available as a podfic read by blackglass

The Adventures of Not-So-Baby Steve by catty_the_spy (@cattythespy) (Gen, General Audiences, 2,070 words)

Summary: Steve's adjusting to not being a baby. Everyone else is adjusting too.

Small, Not Stupid by @rsadelle (Gen, General Audiences, 346 words)

Summary: Bucky's not going to let the kid fall - even if it weren't a tiny version of his former best friend, he wouldn't do that - but he's not real thrilled about having a small version of his former best friend - who he hasn't seen in seventy years - clinging to him.

The Kids Weren’t Alright by lettered (@letteredlettered) (Gen, Teen And Up Audiences, 56,199 words)

Summary: Tony accidentally turns himself into a twelve-year-old using alien tech. Steve is stuck as bodyguard, Bruce is stuck trying to fix him, and Pepper is stuck trying to ward off a twelve-year old’s attempts at flirtation. And then things go from bad to worse.

For I Am Crystal Chrome by IamShadow21, kath_ballantyne (@iamshadow21) (Gen, Teen And Up Audiences, 8,116 words)

Summary: “Don't touch that,” he forces out, his throat as rough as gravel. “Don't.” “Okay,” the person says, and doesn't try to pull out of Tony's grasp. “Okay, I won't.” Tony sucks in a sharp breath and opens his eyes. “You're American. The terrorists got you, too?” The man he's holding on to is young, very young. He's slender and frail looking with a pale, wan face, and Tony would know him anywhere. “Terrorists?” Steve Rogers asks, with confusion. “Oh shit, I really am dead, and there's an afterlife, and it sucks,” Tony moans.

Mixed-Ages Classroom by harcourt (@haforcere) (Gen, Not Rated, 5,114 words)

Summary: For this prompt, where the Avengers are de-aged, but to different ages; Clint & Tony to young children (below 10), Bruce to a toddler (whose tantrums involve hulking out to bb!hulk), Natasha & Steve back to teenagers (with scrawny!Steve). In which Hulk is a baby, Natasha and Steve know they aren't real teenagers, Clint and Tony behave badly, and Maria Hill is not a parent but Coulson might be. Also available as a podfic read by blackglass

The Tactical Applications of Caramel Apples and Ring-Tailed Lemurs by @caffienekitty (Gen, General Audiences, 2,342 words)

Summary: Loki de-ages Captain America. This is not the best idea he's ever had, but he can work with it.

Meet Tomorrow If You Choose by Dira Sudis (@dsudis) (Samsteve, Explicit, 9,440 words)

Summary: "Not quite like the other me, huh," Steve said, because there was no point pretending. "Nah, actually I was thinking I can see it," Sam said. "The way you stand--you project, you know? Like in a way you really always were the big guy, just your body took a while to catch up."

De-Aged Steve Rogers by @sabrecmc (Stony, Not Rated, 8,458 words)

Summary: Steve gets de-aged and clings to Tony

Second Childhood by @navaan (Stony, General Audiences, 2,006 words)

Summary: Steve and Tony get de-aged and it brings some problems, but maybe it gives them a chance to start over.

Smells Like Teen Spirit by @jenthesweetie (Stony, Teen And Up Audiences, 7,363 words)

Summary: Because that’s what the magic explosion had done: it had turned all of his friends into hormonal, pimpled, unbelievably obnoxious teenagers. When he called Fury to ask for advice, Fury laughed, hung up on him, called him back just to laugh some more, and then said, “If nobody’s dying, Stark, I really don’t care” and hung up again. Tony wondered vaguely who he had pissed off, besides all the usual suspects. This felt more as though he’d pissed somebody off in, like, a cosmic way.

Clint Barton And The Adventures In Terror Twin Rearing by @attackofthezee (General Audiences, 3,074 words, No Archive Warnings Apply)

Summary: “Maybe it’s aliens.” Steve hisses at Barnes. “Aliens don’t look like people Steve.” Barnes says with all the surety of an eleven year old. And ho boy, does Clint kind of want to introduce this version of these two to Thor. In which Steve and Bucky are somehow turned into their ten and eleven year old selves and Clint Barton is somehow nominated to take care of them. It goes about as well as can be expected. Also available as a podfic read by quietnight (@quietnighty)

They Could Never Be the Same by ABrighterDarkness (@alwaysabrighterdarkness) (Thundershield, Teen And Up Audiences, 1,234 words)

Summary: The situation at hand being a magically-miniaturized Steve Rogers who had hardly spoken a word but followed either Thor or Natasha around like a tiny shadow ever since they’d been released from Medical. SHIELD medical were, of course, every bit as shocked to have the Avengers show up en masse to deliver an apparently four-year-old Captain America to get checked over.

[hawksonfire]

for @hopelessly-me @jeminamoonnight and @daisyannewinchester who all guessed what the curse was [see this post] — here’s your followup!

——————

Clint thrashes in the chair, snarling and cursing at anyone who gets near him. “This isn’t going to work! There’s nothing fucking wrong with me! I hate all of you!” 

Please don’t stop, please keep going—

“Well that’s a good sign,” Tony says from behind glass. Despite his joking tone, there’s an undercurrent of hurt that Clint can sense—and he hones in on it, starting to spew hate at Tony. 

“You’re never going to make this work, Stark, this is so far past your realm of knowledge,” he spits, still trying to get out of the restraints they’ve got him in. 

Thor strides in then, carrying a glowing green something in a small cage. “I have brought the cure!” he announces, not a hint of his usual jovial mood in his voice. “But it comes with a condition, I’m afraid. Our friend Barton must verbally consent to having this used on him, or it will not work.”

Everyone stares at him. “He’s under a fucking curse that makes him say and do the opposite of what he means, Thor!” Steve snaps. “How are we supposed to get his verbal consent for that?”

“I know not, Captain,” Thor says solemnly. “But it is the only way.”

Clint starts to laugh. “You said to trust you, Steve,” he jeers. “If this is where that gets me, no way am I trusting you now.”

Of course I trust you, baby, you can figure this out—

Steve sets his jaw, that look he gets when he’s made up his mind appearing on his face. “We’ll figure something out.” He crosses the room, stopping in front of Clint. He leans down, hands coming up to cup his face. His eyes search Clint’s gaze, full of anger and hate as it is, and he says, “Clint, my love, please. We can’t do this without your consent, I need you to fight. With everything you’ve got, I need you to fight against this curse. Use all that stubbornness I know you have, all that Clint Barton spirit and hit this mark.”

Clint fights, as hard as he goddamn can—he summons every last bit of that kid who kept getting up after being thrown to the floor, every godforsaken piece of that teenager who shot arrows until his fingers were bleeding, every inch of the man that Steve loves, and he fights, for all he’s worth.

It buys him a second, maybe two, and he uses it to meet Steve’s eye and say, through gritted teeth and with every inch of him screaming against it, “Do it.”

Thor doesn’t hesitate. He strides forward, crossing the space between them in three steps, shoves Steve out of the way, and pressing the green glowing something to Clint’s chest.

It hurts. It hurts worse than every injury Clint’s ever had combined, worse than Loki’s staff piercing Phil’s chest, worse than losing Tasha to Ultron—all he wants to do is scream and all the curse will let him do is endure. It goes on for an eternity, the pain all-encompassing, all consuming, until finally—

It cracks. The shell of green that’s been spiderwebbed over every inch of his being cracks, the smallest opening appearing. Clint claws his way up from the depths of wherever this curse shoved him into, claws his way through that hole and back into his own goddamn mind, and finally—

He screams. It seems to be the final straw, because the web of green magic shatters, disappearing with a tinkle like broken glass. He slumps to the chair, panting. “Clint?” he hears a voice ask.

He forces his eyes open, head lolling back onto the headrest of the chair to meet Steve’s eyes. “Hey, baby,” he says, his voice hoarse from screaming. “Think I could get those blueberry pancakes now?” Steve collapses to his knees beside Clint, clutching at his hand. 

“I love you,” he says, “So much.”

“I love you too, Steve,” Clint murmurs, finally able to say it.

Kingsman Fic Rec Bingo

Row 4:

A fic starring a puppy: A dog’s life by elletromil - 2k (G) Harry/Merlin

Merlin has been turned into a dog and he's got seven days to find a way to let Harry knows he's in love with him. If not, he'll get stuck in animal form forever.  

A historical or fantasy au: When Pan plays the flute by Hangmans_Radio - 15k (E) Merlin/Eggsy

In ancient Greece, it was traditional that when a young man came of age, he would choose an Erastes to act as his teacher, sharing their wisdom and knowledge to guide the younger into manhood. Eggsy isn't exactly on board with the idea, especially when he learns these men often expect sexual favours in return; but then he meets Merlin.

A fic that you would read fic of: I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me by A_bit_not_good_yeah - 4k (E) Harry/Merlin/Eggsy

Loath as Merlin might be to admit it, he does enjoy watching it when Eggsy ruffles Harry like this. He had told himself he didn't have time to get sucked in to watching all of the footage of Eggsy's antics, not wanting to feed into the boy's ego and exhibitionism. If asked, he would of course cite Eggsy’s behavior as unprofessional and reckless. But truth be told, there is something ineffable about Eggsy that makes him demand your attention, and Merlin allows himself a flicker of a smile as he watches the show unfold.

A fic that made you cry: Moving Forward by IndigoNight - 11k (E) Merlin/Eggsy

Merlin's husband is dead, shot in the head by Valentine. It's time, Merlin decides, to finally start to move on... maybe... probably...

In the wake of the V-Day Massacre, Eggsy has had a lot of experience with widowers trying to move on.

A canon-verse fic:  You Are My Sunshine by mobilicordis - 3k (M) Harry/Merlin

June, 1984 Harry has been admiring his fellow Galahad candidate for some time now. Unfortunately, he's had little time to work through these feelings. One sunny afternoon, however, Hamish takes matters into his own hands. Literally.

My Fics Masterlist

Hi all! I realized I’m not great at promoting my fics here on tumblr. With that in mind, I’m creating a master list so you can access all my fics right here!

Hartwin

Of Knights and Realizations

Harry's back and Eggsy's pissed. So Eggsy takes up dancing again for the first time in years. My first fic ever.

Oh Darling Boy

Breakups are hard

Don’t Leave

Harry is alive and kicking. Eggsy is stuck bar-tending.

Mac n’ Cheese

Harry's lived fifty years as a straight man. Eggsy accidentally changed that.

By the Sword and Ring

The last thing Eggsy expects upon being chased out of his village, is to wake up in a nomadic village. Soon he finds himself in a world of magic as he trains to be Lord Hart's battle mage. With war brewing on the border, he is drawn inexorably closer to evil itself. My first long fic.

Merhartwin

Days of future Flowers

(co written with @anarchycox) Set sometime in the future, Eggsy's implants and mechanical body parts need upgrades and care that he just can't afford. He does a few shady things and catches the eye of the cops. He runs and eventually hides in a flower shop of all places.It will be the best mistake of his life.

Sortilege

(cowritten with @jeminamoonnight)  It's the 1920s. Harry and Merlin are looking for someone. Eggsy keeps receiving visions. The three of them get pulled together by a web of lies.

Eggsy/Tequila

Eggsy’s First Rodeo

Roxy drunkenly participates in the office's holiday party raffle. Her prize? An all expenses paid trip to a Kentucky Rodeo. She drags Eggsy with her, and as he finds out. Tequila does more than get you drunk.

Roxy/Gazelle

For the Love of a Country

Roxy is ready to take her rightful place on the throne, now that her grandmother is stepping down. The catch? She must marry first, and there's another woman coming for the throne. Can she navigate the political coup, and emerge with her heart intact? (A Princess Diaries 2 AU).

Merwin

Unexpected Inheritance

Merlin inherits a large estate in the Scottish Highlands, completely out of the blue. In order to renovate the property he must leave behind London. Doing so, also means he has to leave behind his daughter Abby's nanny. Eggsy gets kicked out when Dean blames him for a deal gone south, and now he needs a new job so he doesn't spend the rest of his life on Jamal's couch.

Eggsy/Roxy/Harry

I Saw Him First

Eggsy and Roxy both have a crush on Harry. In order to solve this little dilemma they make a deal. It goes sideways. 

That’s all of them for now! I hope you’ll consider taking a look.

Gen Fic Friday

This week's rec is a very sweet fic and podfic about a de-aged Steve Rogers.

Chase All The Clouds From The Sky written by IndigoNight, read by reena_jenkins (@jeminamoonnight, @reena-jenkins) (General Audiences, 15,421 words)

Summary: Magic is the worst. The Avengers are prepared to deal with a wide variety of crises, but an abruptly six-year-old Steve Rogers is not one of them. Especially not when their resident Rogers-expert is reluctant to cross the Winter Soldier-sized gap separating him from his miniaturized best friend.

What the Pic?

Participants: @ariasfandom, @rebelmeg, @wolfnprey, @ladydarkphoenix-blog, @bookdragon13, @liquidlightz, @jeminamoonnight, @caiti-creative-corner, @ribbonsflyingoutthewindow, @ibelieveinturtles

@ariasfandom - Bucky started watching Oobi and wanted to make an OC of it

@rebelmeg - all sam wanted to do was sleep in.  that was it, that was all he wanted out of a saturday.  which, of course, was the first thing his annoying houseguest decided to ruin, with a fist in his face at the crack of dawn.  a fist wearing googly eyes.  "bucky, what the hell?"

@wolfnprey - This is the default picture Clint sends out when he's judging. Bucky retaliates by posting his own in the vents and hides Clint's arrows.

@ladydarkphoenix-blog - Bucky gets caught watching kids(Sam's nephews, Clint's kids, insert kids here} unaware but has no idea how to entertain them so somehow ends up telling stories with his hands playing characters that are surprisingly effective

@bookdragon13 - Bucky gets drunk on Asgardian mead and thinks it’d be hilarious to put googly eyes on his metal hand and make it talk for him the rest of the night

@liquidlightz - Being an Eldritch deity apparently wasn't as awe inspiring as he'd always assumed himself to be, given that his host was entirely un-phased and thought it was funny to make puppet hands out of him and make up silly stories.  The fact that he found this insult highly entertaining was even worse for his ego.

Keep reading for more!

@bookdragon13 - Bucky buys that for Clint after staying with him for a couple days. Clint absolutely loves it Of course

@rebelmeg - "likl.  likl?!  who approved that?  how did that make it to store shelves!  this is a disgrace!" "bucky, you really need to calm down." "i'll calm down when that travesty is removed from my sight!" going shopping with bucky is never boring.

@ladydarkphoenix-blog - Bought as a gift for himself because Bucky found the misspelling hilarious and it would bug the most important of his guests by making them guess if he didn't notice that little detail or what was happening in his head. Watching them try to deal with it gives Bucky much joy

@wolfnprey - The group stares, unimpressed, as people in the gallery move around them. Nat and Tony insist that the artist is just fucking with people, while Sam and Clint argue over how deep the meaning is. Bucky takes one look at Steve and knows his friend is dying a bit inside at how low art has stooped in the modern age. Bucky's nice enough not to comment that it's made out of a damn shower rug.

@ariasfandom - "Bucky, we live together. I know for a fact you didn't "wake up like this"

@liquidlightz - In the morning, his boyfriend told him how beautiful he looked, and how amazing his hair was, despite having mussed it all up during their passionate evening before.  Apparently Bucky didn't suffer from bed hair but from magically self-smoothing hair.  Ok, so maybe he used his magiks a little to keep it looking so good, what was the harm in that.  So when Bucky saw this in a store he just had to get it and put it by the foot of his bed.

@ladydarkphoenix-blog - Bucky never thought he'd be turned into a dog. He also never thought he'd be staying with Clint and his dog or that the kids in the building would try to disguise him like this

@rebelmeg - bucky wasn't sure to think when he opened his door one morning to find a dog on the step wearing graucho glasses.  he also wasn't sure if he should trust the note tied to the dog's collar that said, "pet me, i'm yours."  but either way, the spaniel was pretty cute, and it turned out to be a snuggler.  worst things could happen.

@ribbonsflyingoutthewindow - If you're going to name your dog Professor Diggory and you're going to ask Bucky to dogsit him, you should be prepared for the fact that Bucky’s going to accidentally make him an internet celebrity. Groucho glasses and the ability to pose very still for a picture while Bucky holds a pretzel between his lips is the easiest way to have a booming Instagram account in under a week. Bucky and Professor Diggory are practically professionals now. Don't be jealous.

@rebelmeg - it has happened every time.  every single time he goes to the mcdonald's closest to his house, they manage to mess up his order somehow.  actually, he's starting to suspect it's on purpose.  there had definitely been a smirk on the guy's face when he handed bucky his order through the window.  that might explain why his request for a cheeseburger with just ketchup had nothing but ketchup between the buns.  hmm.  this might mean war.

@ibelieveinturtles - Sick of working long hours at minimum wage, dealing with shitty customers amd an even shittier manager, Bucky decides its time to try that malicious compliance thing.

@ladydarkphoenix-blog - What's happened to customer service?!?! Back in his day if you made a simple request for a burger with only ketchup the kitchen was smart enough to know what you meant. Were they messing with him? Can they not figure out what a simple order meant? Bucky sighed and shook his head. He'd had worse dinners

@ribbonsflyingoutthewindow - So Steve's got a fuckton of allergies and quite frankly, Bucky doesn't even know what they all are, so telling the person at the drive thru that Steve wanted "a McDouble with just ketchup" was a precautionary action. He thought because he knew Steve was allergic to onions and dairy and mustard that it was safer to ask for only ketchup (probably Steve's only known safe-listed condiment) and potentially not be the one to accidentally murder a man he cared deeply about. But seeing Steve later open the hamburger bun to reveal a bun with a single squirt of ketchup inside made Bucky literally faceplant into his car horn. That was not what he fucking meant.

@rebelmeg - swaying gently in the tropical breeze that smelled like ocean and flowers, bucky smiled to himself.  he was staring up at the clouds and palm trees overhead, his hammock creaking just slightly.  off to his right, his favorite person in the world was sprawled on a towel on the sand, soaking in the sun and drinking some kind of fancy umbrella drink with a silly straw.  best vacation ever.

@ladydarkphoenix-blog​ - Steve made jumping out of planes seem so easy. He never needed a parachute, never seemed to have the aches and pains after. With a sigh, Bucky stared up at the sky. At least he had a good view.

@ribbonsflyingoutthewindow​ - Pic Summary:When Bucky, Sam, and Natasha agreed to share an AirBnB for their Hollywood vacation, they'd only planned to see some famous sights and maybe try to pose with someone as famous as the monkey from the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Then they'd discovered that arguably the two hottest actors in the entire film industry, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, were sharing the house next door! Overnight it became a bet and then a high stakes fight to the (okay, not actual) death to see which of them could meet one of the two actors first. Bucky hadn't exactly been spying while he was standing hidden behind an open gate on their temporary neighbor's property, but he must have been well hidden anyway because the moment he went to run and hide, a sleek convertible pulled out of the drive and directly into a fleeing Bucky. He kind of hates that his first thought upon opening his eyes and looking up to see only trees and a cloudy blue sky above him was that at least he'd probably won the bet.

Snippet: Now I Can Only Dream (Of Being All You Need)

By IndigoNight, brought to you by @jeminamoonnight

Steve crouches down in the doorway of the closet, but slightly to the side, careful not to block it completely. He tries to make himself small, non-threatening. “I… I don’t know what’s going on here,” he admits helplessly. His head is still spinning. He feels like he’s seeing double, like this can’t possibly be real. It’s all he can do to resist the urge the lurch into the closet and pull Bucky into his arms. 

The Soldier stares back at him with hard eyes. Both of his arms are around Bucky’s shoulders, but his metal arm is facing out, looser and ready to fight - to defend - the second Steve makes the wrong move.

Steve swallows, thick and painful. Bucky hasn’t moved, hasn’t so much as twitched in acknowledgement of Steve’s presence. The Soldier’s right hand lifts, stroking Bucky’s hair and curling around the back of his neck, half covering his ears, keeping his face pressed into the crook of the Soldier’s neck. Steve is baffled, his heart still beating too fast from the adrenaline, but there are tears threatening in the corners of his eyes. “Is he okay?” he asks softly, meeting the Soldier’s eyes squarely.

“He is scared.” It’s a challenge. A threat.

It’s like a bullet to Steve’s chest, but in the wake of the pain is relief and an absolute confidence that whatever is going on here, Bucky is safe with that metal arm wrapped around him.

Clint was born on Mars. Only, like, two people on Earth know that, and his best-- only-- friend, James, is not one of them. When given the opportunity to visit Earth, and therefore James, Clint is eager to tell James the truth: about where he's from, and the fluttery feelings that he gets whenever talking to James.

Clint and Bucky set off on an adventure to find an infamous work of Americana history, but find literally everything else (including love, and a Magic Fingers) instead.

Lilac Alstroemeria Aster (T) Words: 7,303 by @jenjo93

Tags: No powers AU. Bucky works at a flower shop; Clint is a human disaster by day, vigilante by night

On the surface, Clint Barton shares nothing with Bucky Grant, the cute florist he helped save from thieves. Bucky has a business, owns more than one outfit, and looks to have a stable life. Worlds away from Clint's drama-filled past. Bucky being kidnapped reminds Clint why he doesn't put his heart on the line anymore.

Nobody wonders whether Clint and Bucky are drift compatible. They clearly are. Which is the problem, since Clint already has a drift partner, and Bucky can't ever pilot again. Well, it's the problem for some people. Not for them. Never for them.

Still Breathing (T) Words: 8,241 by @victorianbreaker

Clint just wanted to get away. He didn't want to hurt any one. But he keeps seeing blue...I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine / Oh, I'm still alive / Am I bleeding am I bleeding from the storm? / Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away...'Cause I'm still breathing / 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own / My head's above the rain and roses / Making my way away / My way to you

"Buck, I gotta ask -- are you here of your own free will, or did Clint kidnap you and force you to watch Dog Cops?” Steve smirked as he glanced from Bucky to Clint.“Hey!” Clint objected just as Bucky said, “Bit of column A, bit of column B.”Clint huffed indignantly. “As I remember it, I was minding my own business when you barged in here and started questioning my eating habits.”

Or, Clint has been acting as Steve's and Bucky's dom for weeks now, but the three of them have never done a scene together.

Bucky and Hagrid spend every Tuesday and Thursday morning at the Midnight Roast, studying and sampling Wade's questionable baked goods. And maybe pining over Wade's Other Favorite Cyborg. BTW, Wade totally ships it, guys.

Bucky is ten when he meets a boy who helps him win a prize for Steve. There's handshake to agree to a contract, due sometime in the future. They never meet again. Or at least, Bucky doesn't remember it.

AKA. Don't make deals with people who appear from thin air.

There’s plenty of things you get taught how to handle; like your pet hamster dying, or your girlfriend breaking up with you. But no-one ever teaches you how to handle the Greek god, Apollo, attaching himself to your soul.

Years ago Clint and the Winter Soldier are given the same target and meet. Instead of eliminating the competition, the Soldier is intrigued by the disaster who beat him to the target. Through years of mind wipes disjointed images of blond and arrows keep coming back. When he breaks the mind control permanently, he wants to find Steve and the guy who kept sneaking around Hydra's mind wipes.

Clint's life is a series of unfortunate events that somehow peaked at his apartment getting blown up. Bucky doesn't really want to get caught up in his mess, but it's hard to avoid the homeless guy sleeping on your couch when all you want to do is watch Netflix.

There was a man who walked  his dog every morning in the park where Clint went for his run.  Of course, Clint knew that was perfectly normal.  It was the dog's service animal vest that caught his attention.  He had the guy figured for ex-military, he just hadn't figured him for the Winter Soldier, the ghost sniper.  Or, well, former Winter Soldier.  It was a spur of the moment decision to buy the guy a coffee from the stand they both frequented.  He had wanted to ask about the dog.  He didn't expect that it would become anything more.

He tells himself a lot of things. Things like he's not a burden, things like he's getting better, things like he's awake in the middle of the night by choice, just because he enjoys prowling around the tower at night when it's quiet. It's the truth, if not the whole truth. What is also the truth is how much he enjoys finding Clint curled up on the living room floor next to a scruffy dog that Bucky knows doesn't live in the tower with them.

To say that Bucky was surprised when Clint kissed him was an understatement. But it was nothing compared to the shock he felt when he learned they'd been dating for months without him realizing it. Clint gets whisked away for a mission before they have time to talk and Bucky is left to figure things out on his own - hindsight being 20/20 he can't help but wonder how he missed things the first go around.

Written Work: Like Running Water Slipping Through My Fingers

Podfic Post: [podfic] Like Running Water Slipping Through My Fingers

Additional Comments: This fic/podfic retells the story of how Bucky is coming in after the events of CA:TWS and how he heals and adjust to the new world he finds himself in. It’s not the overall story which is ingenious here but the details of this particular retelling of it: that Steve has (romantically, emotionally, sexually) got together with Tony before Bucky is found, and the way the memory loss shapes Bucky’s experience. The tags give you a hint of what to expect but they sure did not prepare me for the heartbreaking tragedy of what is happening to Bucky and the eventual happy resolution. Listening to @reena_jenkins’ podfic is intense; I was sitting on the edge of the chair almost all the way through. This is an Avenger fic/podfic as much as a love story between Steve and Bucky, between Tony and Bucky and last but not least a celebration of the joys of a functional polyamorous relationship. I don’t think the image of Bucky knocking on the door of an older Brooklyn building, searching for his home and wondering why his ma won’t let him in, will leave me for a very long time. Reena’s reading is impeccable – engaged, emotional, well-paced, precise – which is even more of a feat when you hear about the conditions under which this podfic was recorded. If you are looking for a long podfic, for traveling or to spent an evening with Bucky, Tony and Steve (and Clint, not to forget Clint :)), check out this podfic for sure.
