#stucky fanfiction recs

[fleursfairies]

some of the best fanfics are 735 words long

[adventures-in-mangaland]

I'm going with 10 All Time Classics from the Captain America (MCU) fandom. I mean, they're all classics to me, at least. In no particular order:

1. This, You Protect by owlet

First installment in the Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail series, which are all amazing. It's a “Bucky escaping Hydra and rebuilding his sense of self” fic, which he does while spying on Steve. With eventual Avengers Family and a lovely cast of OCs bonding with Bucky in the meantime. It has a very distinctive perspective and writing style; Bucky's in constant internal (and sometimes accidentally external) dialogue with himself, making it hilarious and tragic all at the same time. I love it. I've recently been getting into The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells and this Bucky has a similar sassy-but-vulnerable vibe? Read this if you like that, anyway.

2. The One Who Knows by Dira Sudis (dsudis)

This is a Political Animals AU, in that no-powers Steve is inserted into the Political Animals world and Bucky is TJ. Discusses being outed and depression but is ultimately hopeful. The author is one of my all time faves and has written lots of great stories for this and many other fandoms.

3. Blue Scales by chaya

Steve is a merman AU. He's still Captain America, though. It's crack with heart, I love it.

Best line: "May your scales and your love story be our weird secret forever.”

4. Our Lingering Frost by eyres

AU where Bucky is rescued from Hydra in the 50s (?) and so is around for Steve to be found.

5. Assets Out of Containment by follow_the_sun

It's a classic to *me*, OK? Bucky goes undercover at Jurassic World just as that movie's plot kicks off. They're Hydra dinosaurs! It's just great. Also has a podfic and crossovers with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

6. Not Easily Conquered (series) by dropdeaddream and WhatAreFears

Some of the greatest fanfiction I've ever read, the whole series is epic. Anyway, it's a "Steve doesn't go into the ice" AU with added queer angst when (never sent) love letters from Bucky resurface. I particularly like the second installment in the series The Thirteen Letters, which are just Bucky's letters and are insanely well-written.

7. to memory now I can't recall by Etharei

Time travel AU! Featuring post-CATWS Bucky accidentally switching places with CATFA era Bucky.

8. If Wishing Made It So by Leveragehunters (Monkeygreen)

Genie!Bucky AU! This author is great at writing AUs with fantasy/genre elements, it was hard to choose. They've also written an excellent werewolf!Steve AU and a horse!Steve AU that I really love.

9. Into That Good Night by Nonymos

An Interstellar AU! Very angsty and tragic but with an eventual happy ending.

10. Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square by Speranza

Speranza must be one of the best writers in the fandom, so it was hard to pick just one of their fics. Other strong contenders were All the Angels and the Saints and The Fifties, so check those out too! But this one has a special place in my heart. Steve, Tony and Natasha accidentally time travel to WW2 London, leading to an accidental run-in with CATFA-era Bucky. The author does tragic and romantic time travel tropes so well, but with a happy ending.

I now realise that most of these are AUs, so here’s a bonus rec for a non-AU in-universe story that’s severely underrated and deserves more love:

+1

Heart, Have No Pity on this House of Bone by Sena

This story follows Bucky in-action in the Pacific Theatre. It’s very well written and, from what I can tell, well researched. Steve only appears in Bucky’s imagination and the story focuses on the horrors of war rather than romance, but it’s gripping! And it explores unrequited love, being closeted and period-typical homophobia, which I also enjoyed. I’m still holding out hope for a sequel.

Saw that some people were talking about Peter and Bucky being father and son, so i wanted to rec some fics about them being father and son and also them being good pals :))) i really recommend reading all of these (btw a lot of these have stucky)

Bucky being a father figure

This one might be them being good pals but i think of it as Bucky being a father figure https://archiveofourown.org/works/55543066

2. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ONE ENOUGH this one is a series (hasnt updated since nov 2021) but the first fic is the one i extremely recommend, the other two fics in the series are still good (its kinda sad btw, when i first read it, i read it all in 3 hours and cried throughout the entire thing) https://archiveofourown.org/series/1273307

3. This one is another hydra peter, and post-civil war, Steve is mainly his father figure but Bucky is still there and they're all so cute and its also angsty (warning for suicide attempt and self harm) https://archiveofourown.org/works/19947580

4. this one is a oneshot and its so good , kinda sad but also fluffy (don't quote me on that i haven't read it in a while) https://archiveofourown.org/works/22924861

5. Ohmylord, this series is so cute and amazing, its set in the same universe as owlet's Infinite Coffee & Protection Detail series (which i extremlyyyyy recommend oml its amazing and a classic) but you don't need to read that to understand this one, and this one has irondad but its so minor and Bucky is -in my opinion- much more of a father figure to peter and you can easily skip over the irondad parts https://archiveofourown.org/series/195689

6. This one's a short series and so soo cute, its baby peter and dad Bucky https://archiveofourown.org/series/1763878

7. this one is definitely the best one ever, its so fucking good i need everyone to ever exist to read it https://archiveofourown.org/works/12968454

8. This one is a series (hasn't updated for a couple months but i think its still ongoing) and its amazingggggg https://archiveofourown.org/series/3289503

9. This one has irondad as well but I'm sure you can skip over that if you want and its sooooo good https://archiveofourown.org/works/39883692

Bucky and peter being good pals

this one is canon divergent from TFATWS (its basically peter tagging alongside Sam and Bucky uninvited) and it has sambucky, i loved it https://archiveofourown.org/works/38155552

This one is set after No Way Home where only Clint and Bucky remember peter https://archiveofourown.org/works/43815409

this one is pretty angsty, Peter was kidnapped by hydra for a while, and this is after he gets rescued, Bucky helps him recover https://archiveofourown.org/works/44970484

This one is so cute and i loved it https://archiveofourown.org/works/30774176

You can definitely find more but these are the ones i have bookmarked

I really hope you enjoy reading these! :))

✒Dig My Grave, Both Wide and Deep

Link here

Steve takes his first step towards living in the 21st Century without Bucky by his side now that he hasn't got an alien invasion to distract him from grief. In which, Steve visits Bucky's grave and realises Bucky would have wanted him to live the life he couldn't have.

This fic was written for the @catws-anniversary under prompt '1940s', and for @stuckybingo under prompt '1930's', as a part 2 in my series A little something called 'History'.

The Things We Hide

Summary: Bucky looked at Steve. Steve carefully did not look at Bucky. 

“You didn’t tell him?” Becca asked, pausing in the doorway. Steve shook his head. 

“He only just got here. Besides, I thought you would have told him over the phone,” Steve grumbled, now also carefully not looking at Becca. “After you insisted on calling him after I asked you not to. I’m fine.” 

“He’s your emergency contact, so I had to call him to collect you, since you wouldn’t give me an alternative. And I’m currently your doctor, so you tell me not to pass on why you’re in here, I legally can’t,” Becca replied with a somewhat patronizing smile. 

“He is also standing right the fuck here,” Bucky snapped. “In case you both forgot.” 

“Steve,” Bucky started, quietly, purposely not looking at either of them now. “Why is Becca your doctor?” 

Neither Steve nor Becca answered him. Bucky looked up. Becca was watching Steve, who was staring intently at a wrinkle in the sheet covering the bed he was sitting on. 

“Why is Becca your doctor right now?” He asked again, more forcefully, this time looking to his sister. “And why are we in the fucking family rooms?” 

*****

Steve’s a marathon runner. He’s still friends with his ex-alpha, his life revolves around training, work, and Bucky, his best friend. He’s also 6 months pregnant and he doesn’t know who the sire is. If he ignores his problems, they’ll go away, right?

Chapter One: Discovery

Did I make a skillet chocolate chip cookie because of fanfiction? You bet I did.

Thank you @hanitrash for the cooking inspo in Touch Me and You'll Never Be Alone! I'm not sure if other fandoms are like this, but I feel like the Stucky writers really love their food.

Also this was a hell of a good idea if you've not made one before - and eating it warm with a scoop of ice cream on top only improves thing.

[oh-i-swear-writes]

This is, of course, the worst plan that he has ever had. Soldat would never have permitted it. The Handlers would never have permitted it. The Soldier isn’t even sure if he’s still Omega enough, doesn’t know what they actually did to him when he was HYDRA’s asset - he may not possess all of the prerequisite parts to be a ‘real’ Omega anymore, but he knows that he was one once. It was in the half-file he stole on himself, after all.

It’s also another puzzle piece that suggests that he once could have been The Bucky - after all, The Bucky was the Omega of Steve Rogers. But the time for analyzing that is not now.

He has to acquire the necessary items for his risky plan.

And he has to go through with that plan, consequences be damned.

CHAPTER ONE

[basnatural]

Needing to ask a favour if I can stucky tumblr friends…finally getting the inspiration to write the next part in my Admit Defeat series (I know it’s been a moment…) so was wondering if you guys could give me some song recs that make you think of or remind you of our two crazy guys? It would be much appreciated. I want to make a playlist to listen to as I write ☺️

[hail-americas-ass]

And on my breast you may carve a turtle dove, To signify I died of love.

This was written as a beyond belated New Year's gift for @kestrafagnor, @amarriageoftrueminds, @16woodsequ, and @dontcallmebree. Without their hilarious input in this post, this fic would never have left my Google Docs.

Link here.

In which, comedy and tragedy are rolled into a one-shot featuring: the bitterly cold Hanukkah of 1944, the Howling Commandos & the Gayest Coverup in Modern History™, a Californian pickpocket, and Steve's dread which only grows as the war progresses and the passage of time steadily brings him closer to losing the man he loves.
