Between (Pen) Friends by wolfiefics (complete | 37,845 | T)

Civilian Bucky Barnes gets paired with a soldier in Afghanistan as a pen pal and gets more than he bargained on, not just one friend, but many…and maybe love.

What's Left of Kisses by Draco_sollicitus (complete | 86,250 | E) *chose not to warn

Bucky Barnes, history teacher and sometimes Human Disaster, has absolutely no major expectations of his class trip to the National Museum of American History.

But, a chance run-in with Steve Rogers irrevocably changes the course of his life.

_

Steve loves his teammates - especially the Maximoff twins, whom Tony has dubbed Steve's "freaky ducklings" - but it's not until he stumbles across a shy, handsome man in the Howling Commandos' exhibit that he realizes what's been missing in his life.

(And when Steve falls, he falls hard - and for always).

Part 1 of What's Left of Kisses

Whatever Happened to Fay Wray? by debwalsh

When Dr. Bucky Barnes reaches out to Captain America to autograph some old film posters to help raise money to restore an old movie theatre in Brooklyn, Steve jumps at the chance to reconnect with his own personal history.

Steve didn’t expect the film history professor to be so attractive, or the theatre to be so changed. He admits that when he was young, he would sneak into the theatre through a secret route - a route that is still there and apparently hadn’t been discovered and renovated, a route with secrets of its own.

As Steve introduces Bucky to the forgotten history of the theater and they work together to restore the movie palace to its former glory, they discover they have more in common than just a love of theater. And maybe a few surprises along the way, too.

Hi I was looking for a fic I read a while ago. It was a shrunkyclunk fic where Steve and Bucky were ex’s and Bucky always says how much he hates Captain America. But when Steve is on the run he asks Bucky to let him stay with him and they end up liking each other again.

this one?

Secret Identity by riverwrenwrites(complete |51,855| T)

Bucky is just a regular guy. He works as a nurse, lives in a moderate Brooklyn apartment with his pet cat, oh, and he once dated Captain fucking America. After a pretty rough breakup over a year ago, he's been re-adjusting to regular life, with only a moderate amount of success. But what little progress he had made goes straight out of the window when Steve shows up at his door, and the two of them are finally forced to confront their feelings.

Ok maybe it’s just been hiding plain sight but My Albatross Always With Me is an absolute enemies to lovers masterpiece, cannot recommend enough

Thank you for writing in!

My Albatross Always With Me by LolitaBlue (WIP | 89,098 | E) *chose not to warn, past abuse, /others

When Bucky Barnes joins the Avengers team as a weapons developer, Steve Rogers doesn't like him very much. Their constant bickering leads to a fiery tension that everyone else wants to sort out. Steve and Bucky are too stubborn to admit why they don't like each other, until they're forced to reach point where they can't deny the truth any longer.

(A Modern!Bucky and Cap!Steve AU)

Hello! I'd like to recommend a long fic that was just finished called Cat Person by The_She_Devil on ao3. Steve has just come out of the ice and Bucky is a SHIELD agent who stays with him at the Retreat to catch him up on history. It has a little bit of everything! Fluff, smut (a lot of smut lol), a little angst, a little h/c, a little mystery, and a happy ending!

Thank you for writing in!

Cat Person by The_She_Devil (complete | 72,443 | E) *past /others

Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Bucky Barnes is tasked with acclimating Steve Rogers to the 21st century. Together with Alpine, they are stuck at the Retreat for four weeks catching up on history, technology, and pop culture.

Bucky is aware he might be playing with fire by wearing those leggings around Captain America. Steve is aware he should not try to take off said leggings, as much as that pretty Agent Barnes might want him to.

Takes place during those few weeks when Steve was at the Retreat right after coming out of the ice.

Hiya! I wanted to share my new shrunkyclunks meet-cute if that's OK! 😁😁

There's a Piece of Me (Missing a Piece of You)

Ok so this may be a self rec... but I think it has some promise :)

There's a Piece of Me (Missing a Piece of You) - Goodnightsammy - Captain America (Movies) [Archive of Our Own]

(Rated M) (6.8k words) (implied/referenced suicide)

Bucky Barnes was 27 years old. He had slate-blue eyes and a dimpled chin, and he wore his brunette hair a little long so that people would stop mentioning how much he looked like a dead man. The same dead man he was named after. The same dead man who he sometimes thought he was, when he stopped avoiding the thought long enough to actually think it.

Bucky Barnes was 95 years old. He had slate-blue eyes and a dimpled chin. He used to wear his brunette hair slicked back with grease, combed tight to his scalp. He used to go dancing on the weekends in freshly shined shoes. He used to work down at the docks during the week to pay rent. He used to do a lot of things before he fell off that train in the Alps. Before he was made to start living again.

See, there’s two truths really. And then another, singular fact at the center of it all.

A Reincarnation AU, because if they were the only thing I could read for the rest of my life, it would be enough.

[stuckylibrary]

I absolutely love this fic and haven’t seen it recommended before and that is a crime. This is a kid fic and a Captain America Steve/Modern Bucky fic. Bucky has a 16 month old baby and lives in a lighthouse. Steve washes up on his beach with amnesia. S.H.I.E.L.D. never found the plane so he’s fresh out of the ice as well.

[stuckylibrary]

can i rec a series?? it’s pretty short and like shrunkyclunks adjacent, bucky was cloned by hydra so he technically grows up as modern bucky but he was still trained as the winter soldier as a child. it’s basically a Stucky reincarnation fic which im a complete simp for. there’s also a prequel with nat and bucky training at the red room (gen) series/2439292

I Am Me Too  by lizzzzy (series, complete | 6,730 | G,T)

Steve was in a bad mood for a few reasons.

He hated his bad coffee, he hated his stuffy suits, and most of all, he hated HYDRA, which was clearly dead-set on ruining every aspect of his life. He hadn't felt quite right in nearly a year, when he and his fellow Avengers brought down the Triskelion and ousted HYDRA from SHIELD.

When he accidentally runs into a young veteran at the VA who looks exactly like his long-dead best friend, Steve can't bring himself to focus, suspicious and reasonably distrustful that HYDRA is behind the imposter wearing his friend's face.

He won't let himself get his hopes up. He will stay vigilant and as far away from the deceit as he can.

But he can't stop the hope that Bucky Barnes might truly be alive from creeping in.

For the person looking for F!Steve/F!Bucky Instigator by lbmisscharlie on ao3 is really great.

Thank you for writing in!

Instigator by lbmisscharlie (oneshot | 9,604 | E)

It would be nice if just once -- just once -- Bucky could meet her way-hotter-in-real-life childhood hero without looking like a disaster.

Hello! Wanted to recommend this fic I could never - wear that sweater which is a true riot and it’s really funny and just all around fluff!!!!!

[stuckylibrary]

Hi ! I dont normally read abo fics but for some reason ive been really in the mood for like shrunkyclunk omegaverse fics that have alot of sexual tension and specifically steve being overwhelmed by like buckys scent ? Thank you !!

The combination of all your search terms doesn’t turn up anything, I’m afraid, but there are these for sexual tension:

Spin* by stuckontheboyband (WIP | 27,735 | E) *chose not to warn

Steve has been struggling with the idea that it's ok to be a gay alpha in the 21st century. Then one night while out with Natasha, he spies a DJ that he just can't get out of his head.

Firecracker by Annaelle, Juulna (WIP | 6,152 | T)

James Buchanan Barnes is an Omega, First Son of the United States of America, U.S. Marine.

And, apparently, a taken man from the moment Steven Grant Rogers takes his first breath in the 21st century.

This could all have been avoided, really, if someone had paid more attention to the binding legality of a presidential boon.

(YES, Steve, I'm looking at you, you stupid knothead.)

These with scenting; and for A/B/O ShrunkyClunks in general, have a look through this search.

Id like to recommend "I'd promise you a heart" by emj1s on ao3 its really amazing and so sweet and cute and I adore it so much

Thank you for writing in!

I'd Promise You a Heart by emj1s (oneshot | 21,190 | M)

“Welcome to Barnes’ Bewitching Bakes. I’m Bucky.” The man takes his hand and gives it a shake, his palm large and warm against his own.

“Steve,” he says, and Bucky hums. He looks like a Steve.

Steve is plagued by sleepless nights and nightmares of a world long gone. A recommendation from a friend leads him to kitchen witch Bucky's bakery. He soon realizes that maybe it's not the sleeping charms he keeps coming back for.

Hi! I noticed anon had asked for some fics with Disney as a setting and with one of the boys as a cast member. I’d like to rec my own short fic series with those exact things. Cap!Steve and Prince Charming!Bucky. The series is called glass slipper by peterbparker.

Thank you for writing in! 

a dream is a wish (your heart makes) by peterbparker (oneshot | 8,858 | T)

“I’m in love,” Steve whined. “I’m so fucking in love.”

“We know, buddy,” Clint sighed. “We know.”

“He said I looked beautiful.”

“Yep, we heard.” Clint continued to pat his back.

“He kissed my hand!”

“He kissed all our hands,” Nat drawled, sitting down next to Steve. “You aren’t special, Rogers.”

or; the one where Tony takes the Avengers on a family vacation to Disney World and Steve finally meets his Prince Charming. Literally. Bucky Barnes works as Prince Charming at Disney World.
