MCU Fanfic recs for the week of Friday March 1, posted late because illness.

Theme 1: Bucky and Other Avengers Being Bros

Wing and a Prayer  by sholio , T (Sam Wilson & Bucky Barnes). Sam and Bucky, injured and stranded in the Canadian wilderness.

Somebody Get That Kid A Sandwich  by toffeecape , M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Sam convinces Bucky to come in from the cold with the power of good food.

Cutting Both Ways (Blunt and Sharp)  by jaune_chat , M (no romantic relationship). Jane asks Bucky to help her in the kitchen. And is unconcerned about being alone with an armed ex-assassin. The realization hits Bucky like a knife to the chest.

Consent of the Damned  by hitlikehammers , T (no romantic relationship). Bucky Barnes and Rocket Raccoon: well I didn't ask to get made! I didn't ask to be torn apart and put back together over and over and turned into some, some little monster!  This fic was written well before Infinity War but correctly managed to predict a good deal of what would happen generally and even some of the character beats between Bucky and Rocket.

Theme 2: Kidfic

Shyest  and Milestones  by biblionerd07 , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Accidental baby acquisition, followed by a series of milestones in Steve and Bucky’s lives as parents. With a side of everybody lives together in the Tower.

Theme 3: Hijinks and Shenanigans

Do I ask too much, more than a lot  by sirona, M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). @jbbarnes: Modern-day protocol for a boyfriend who leaves you to wake up alone on your birthday and isn't even in the apartment the two of you share: go.

Non-Prophet Organization  G and Herd of Goats?  T by leveragehunters  (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve, Bucky, and Sam vs cults that want to summon demons to take over the world.

what it is to be possible  by musesfool , G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). The paparazzi figure out that Steve and Bucky are together before Steve and Bucky can figure it out for themselves.

Steve Rogers Vs. The All-American Feast  by copperbadge , G (no romantic relationship). Steve can't resist a challenge, even when the challenge is a five pound pulled-pork sandwich.

You made a slow disaster out of me  by lanyon , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky intercepts a text Steve meant to send to Sam. Steve doesn’t know how to use autocorrect.

He can play the wolf for the evening  by lanyon , not rated (Clint Barton/Phil Coulson). "How am I going to tell Captain America that I stole a dog?"

Theme 4: Getting (Back) Together

that dream is here beside me  by childhoodinfamy, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Getting together with Bucky turns out to be much easier than Steve has convinced himself it will be.

the slide into the habit of hesitation  by decinq, not rated (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve takes Bucky to recover off-grid at a farm he’s bought.

Why God Made Steel-Toed Boots  by what_alchemy , G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve has been waiting a long time to get married to Bucky.

gonna dress you up in my love (all over, all over)  by ignited , M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Recovery means a new wardrobe. Or, laundry mishaps, borrowed hoodies, and dick pics. Steve thinks Bucky's gonna be okay.

Theme 1: Spoop and Horror because OFC it’s still Hallowe’en

dreamed your dream, written your name by Janonny, author didn’t provide a rating but I’d call it M for spookiness (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark). A perfect balance of spooky/squicky and sad, and Steve and Tony actually - gasp - /talk/ to each other about their feelings arising out of Wanda’s visions in Age of Ultron.

From the pain I have been frozen into (I beg to be free) by cap-sweet-and-salty-sadness, E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). On the run from Hydra, James gets in a car accident during a snowstorm. He’s saved by a gentle and caring man who lives in a cabin in the middle of the woods. Why does he instantly trusts him, and why does he keep dreaming of a door in the basement that isn’t there? Excellent level of spookiness.

Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me by SoftObsidian74, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky finally comes back from war. But he’s not alone. Steve doesn’t care; he made a promise and he plans to see it through, day or night. More excellently spooky stuff.

Theme 2: Fluff to Help Pretend it’s not the Middle of Winter

Bucky Barnes: Sunscreen Assassin by newsbypostcard, M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Of course Steve won’t wear sunscreen. Like usual, it’s up to Bucky to protect Steve from the consequences of his own bad decisions.

Captain America and the Accidental Baby Acquisition by stevergrsno, G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). More fluff to brighten your winter. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

death of an artist by silentwalrus1, G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve and Bucky try to visit Monet’s Cottage at Giverny. Eerily reminiscent of my own recent travels in France.

Theme 3: Other Stuff I Liked This Week

And Has Time Enough by wanttobeatree, G (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark). Time Traveller’s Wife AU.

Don’t Go Wasting Your Emotion by elcorhamletlive, author didn’t provide a rating but I’d say T (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark). Tony keeps interrupting Steve’s dates. But he swears the first time was an accident.
