Week of Friday, December 28, 2018.  Various ships, old and new fics.

Weirdly Specific Theme #1: Bucky is a Selkie

buachaill sciobail  and teach your man to fish  by silentwalrus, not rated and T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky is a selkie, the hysterically funny version

the sirens and the thunder  by [personal profile] legete , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky is a selkie, the poignant version

Weirdly Specific Theme #2: Coulson is a Gentleman Detective

Murder at the Savoy Hotel  by orderlychaos, T (Phil Coulson/Clint Barton). Coulson is a gentleman detective, the Christie-esque version

The Clockwork Murders  by [personal profile] selenay , M (Phil Coulson/Clint Barton, Pepper Potts/Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff/Darcy Lewis). Coulson is a gentleman detective, the steampunk version

Slightly Less Specific Theme #3: Stucky as Childhood Classic Literature

Family Placement  by [personal profile] notlucy , E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanoff/Sam Wilson). Did you, like me, ever read the Little House on the Prairie series and then wish it was queerer and more diverse? Have, like, a whole box of hankies handy when you read this fic, it is a thing of perfection and beauty

a marvellous gift  by [personal profile] biblionerd07 , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky is cursed by the evil warlock Zola to obey any orders he receives (Ella Enchanted AU). Anyone who has played D&D with me will understand why I was particularly interested in Sam and Steve’s Manticore discourse

Slightly Less Specific Theme #4:  Jewish Bucky

A Little More Light  by EvensDramaticShenanigans, G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). It’s Steve’s first holiday season without his Ma, and Bucky invites him to spend Hanukkah with the Barnes family

The Name in the Mouth  by Rave, M (no relationship). Bucky reflects on his past, and re-learns who he wants to be now.
Initially posted to tumblr November 9, 2018. Various pairings, including no pairings at all.

Fight or Flyte by Theorytale, G. Turns out Loki is less interested in taking over the Earth on a regular basis and more interested in trading insults with Tony. Not tagged as Frostiron but I guess you could read it that way if you want. In honour of Loki getting their own TV show!!

Look baby, this is none of my business by StrawberryLane, T (Tony Stark/Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Since when does Tony Stark have a boy-toy, anyway, and is said boy-toy really cheating on Stark with the maintenance man? Outsider POV.

That Takes the Cake by mambo, author didn’t provide a rating but I’d call it G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Wrong-number, meet-ugly, shrunkyclunks. “We have fifty boxes of cake mix and you needed to be here three hours ago.”

A Bird, A Spy, and a Supersoldier Walk Into a Bar by flightyrock, G. Sam and Natasha make Steve go to karaoke.

Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater by odette-and-odile, T (Cap!Steve Rogers/modern!Bucky Barnes). Bucky’s first impression of the tall, hot blonde guy is that he’s the only other person at Clint’s Halloween party who looks as awkward as Bucky feels.

His second impression is that the guy is about to cheat at a dumb game to avoid watching a scary movie.

As for third impressions and beyond? Well, things start looking up from there…


Ever a Surprise by Atsadi, G (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark). College AU. Tony needs a date to Jan’s Hallowe’en party. Good thing his new apartment came complete with a monster under the bed.
