    Summary

    ‘Bucky, do you know why I came up to you in the bar tonight?’

    Bucky shakes his head. Because he really doesn’t.

    ‘Because to me, you look perfect.’ Steve’s eyes are so dark and his pale skin is flushed pink. ‘You look strong and solid and your thighs look incredible in those jeans and this –’ Steve runs his fingertips across the skin of Bucky’s stomach where his cropped t-shirt rides up ‘– belly is just perfect, Bucky. You’re fucking beautiful.’ Steve’s hands are on his face now. ‘Your cheek bones, this cleft in your chin,’ Steve’s fingers follow his words.

    -----

    Bucky Barnes is single, 30 and gay in New York - totally over the hill. So he's pretty surprised when a blonde Adonis named Steve picks him up and takes him home for the night. He's even more surprised when aliens invade New York and it turns out that Steve is Captain America.

    Six years later, Steve Rogers breaks down. He hands over his shield and retreats to Tony's house in a forest by a lake. Waiting to greet him, with ribbons in his hair, is Bucky Barnes - caretaker and carpenter. A man Steve has never forgotten.

    Can Steve find the courage to love Bucky? Will Steve have to sacrifice their life together to save the universe?

    Summary

    In 2011, the Winter Soldier is brought into a Sokovian Hydra facility for maintenance. He discovers the young Maximoff twins, who awaken a long-buried protective instinct in the Soldier, breaking decades of brainwashing.

    Three years later, Dr. Steve Rogers welcomes two new patients into his art therapy studio. Wanda and Pietro Maximoff are a mystery to Steve; and so is their guardian, a large, handsome man named Buchanan.

    And hey, if Steve is crushing inappropriately on Buchanan, at least it's slightly less bizarre than his long-standing crush on the scariest member of the Avengers, a man who's saved Steve's life a dozen times, a man whose face Steve has never even seen.

    Summary

    When the Asset drags himself out of the Potomac River after the battle of the Triskelion, something has changed.
    There is a presence inside his head that wasn't there before; one that speaks directly to his most primal instincts, and it speaks only of one thing:
    To run. Run now, run fast, and to never, ever stop.
    And so, the Asset does.
    A story of recovery, of facing one's inner demons, and learning to accept the harsh truths of life. Of love, and the many different shapes it can take. The value of choice and free will, and how someone who doesn't believe themselves worthy of being saved can end up being someone else's hero.

    Summary

    Steve Rogers’ magic is wild, untrained, and dangerous enough to get him killed.

    Taken in by the wizard Abraham Erskine, Steve is given shelter, guidance, and the faint hope that his power can be mastered. In Erskine’s tower, he gains two companions: Sam, a raven who watches the world too closely, and a silent white cat named Bucky, whose eyes gleam with unsettling intelligence.

    A shadow stalks his sleep. A voice that knows his name. A presence that feels cold. Old and broken.

    As Steve searches for a way to survive his own magic, the line between familiar and curse begins to blur. Some spells do not bind. Some souls do not stay whole. And some companions are only fragments of something far darker, following close behind.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes is living the dream--his own restaurant on 'The Other Fifth Avenue' back home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with a staff of his dearest friends, a garden to grow, and the chance to be close to his sisters after ten long years as a journeyman chef. All he has to do is keep his head down and do the work so that they survive their first litmus year in business. They've got the buzz. They've got the menu. And now, they've got the patronage of the original hometown hero returned, the guy who put Brooklyn on the map, the legend himself: The Cap. Only Bucky gets a lot more than he bargained for when he cooks for his childhood crush. He might even lose his heart.

    Or, the Stucky version of The Bear with a lot less yelling and a lot more fluff.
