MCU Fanfic Recs

Week of January 18, 2019.  Mostly Stucky, sorry not sorry.

Theme 1: Bucky in Bucharest

Get Scrooged  by albymangroves, leveraghunters, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). There’s a terrible bureaucratic snafu, and Bucky Barnes is scheduled to be visited in Bucharest by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet To Come.

an irrevocable condition  by layersofsilence , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky, in Bucharest.

Theme 2: Modern-Day Fluff

Mistake on the Part of Nature  by idiopathicsmile, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky finds out about modern bananas.

Cafe Au Ecoute  by littlesystems, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, shrunkyclunks). No matter where Steve goes, there's always the chance that he'll overhear a conversation about himself - or rather, Captain America. This coffee shop is no different. The fact that he keeps eavesdropping well past the point of plausible deniability is another matter entirely.

last night while I slept, they rearranged the streets  by musesfool , G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). The one where Steve and Bucky are the last of the team to know that they are dating each other.

sic gorgiamos allos subjectatos nunc  by stevergrsno , G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). The thing about Julie’s family is that they have some fucking Addams Family level of weird members.

The Winter Soldier vs. Twitter (hashtag BuckRogers)  by galwednesday , M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve and Bucky announce their relationship in a very dignified press conference. Bucky then replies to every goddamn tweet asking him to confirm it with a different dirty euphemism. Things escalate from there.

Let’s Fall in Love  by Desdemon, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky attempts to demonstrate to Steve the moves he used to put on girls back in the day.

Theme 3: Winter Soldier Kidfic

All The Leaves Are Brown (And the sky is gray)  by AvocadoLove, T (no romantic pairing). Winter Soldier kidfic, the Bucky & Tony version.

I’ll build a house inside of you  by magdaliny , T (Natasha Romanoff/Kate Bishop). Winter Soldier kidfic, the Bucky & Natasha version.

Theme 4: Pre-War Fluff

if the bad times are coming let ‘em come  by suzukiblu, E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, shrinkyclinks). So listen, this is a little more explicit than I normally rec but I just really love this fic. I think the tags say it best: Steve Rogers is not a virgin; but the Winter Soldier kind of is.

Take Your Time Coming Home  by odetteandodile , M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve pines for Bucky without even knowing he's pining for Bucky thanks to a series of letters and an unusual roommate arrangement in 1930's Brooklyn.

Theme 5: Modern-Day Non-Fluff

I’ll Be A Thorn In Your Side  by th_esaurus , M (Steve Rogers/Brock Rumlow). Steve and Brock are fuck buddies, prior to the events of CATWS.

The Age of Accountability  by lauralot , G (no romantic relationship). Steve and Natasha track down the traitorous STRIKE team members, but they’ve turned into children. Interesting examination of the nature vs. nurture debate.

ooo! Thanks for the fun links! I'm such a sucker for prewar fluff and shrinkyclinks

[ladivvinatravestia]

I hope you enjoy! if the bad times are coming was, I think, my very first introduction to shrinkyclinks and I continue to think of it as the gold standard.

[potofsoup]

yeah that gave me SO MANY FEELS, and really cemented in me the fact that I love shrinkyclinks, whereas shrunkyclunks is just average fic for me.
