Bait and Switch by galwednesday , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, shrinkyclinks). "Post-action tacos?” Tony suggested. “I’m thinking that place by Fordham. BattleBot, you in?” “Can’t,” the Soldier said, typing something into his phone. “I have a date.” Tony stopped talking for an entire three seconds. “You. Have a date.”

Snoogums-Boogums, You’re the Apple of my Eye by galwednesday , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve calls his significant other all sorts of mushy pet names on the phone. His coworkers are not sure what to expect when he brings “Jamie-baby” to the company holiday party.

I [Heart] You  by writeonclara , G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). “Steve’s been hit with a curse,” Natasha said. She said it calmly, so Bucky didn’t immediately go flying out of the apartment to tear apart the Tower in search of Steve. Then again, Natasha would probably be calm if New York City spontaneously burst into flames. He lowered the coffee pot and squinted at her. “Of course he has,” he said. He felt, abruptly, exhausted. “What is it?” “The witch kept ranting about sexual repression and archaic moral principles,” she continued blithely.

Scandal  and Damage Control  by biblionerd07 , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Two boys are caught "getting fresh" in the Captain America exhibit, and Steve has to make a statement to the press. He doesn't quite stick to Pepper's script.

Fluff  by morethanslightly , E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). “Dr. Foster, this is a tower full of highly trained soldiers, spies, and geniuses. If we can’t track down and subdue a frith—um, small Asgardian mammal, then nobody can,” Steve says. He tries to look reassuring. It must not be working. She’s still looking around like it might pop out at any moment.

Unusual Weather  by novembersmith , E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky’s been at the Avengers Tower for three weeks before he finally gives in to Steve’s gentle coaxing and Stark’s cheerful waving of fistfuls of circuits, and lets them scan the arm. It doesn’t go well.
