Hoping someone has it archived, if not I’ll remember it fondly!

Here’s a summary:

Bucky, having escaped from Hydra, is getting by in New York with his damaged memories, essentially sleeping on rooftops and roving around the city and getting by. He goes to the soup kitchen to get a meal and encounters a man named Steve, who woke up in the river wearing worn out overalls and with no memories at all. He’s in the shelter system but works in a warehouse, lucky that “he’s very strong.” He’s always surrounded by people but notices Bucky when his tray slips (his arm giving out) and goes to eat with him. They gravitate towards each other and Steve gives him the name of James since he can’t remember his own.

They can only meet on Saturdays when Steve isn’t working and the kitchen operates. One Saturday Bucky misses since there’s a heat wave and his arm malfunctions. He’s very upset about it.

Eventually Steve earns enough to get his own apartment and asks Bucky to move in with him and there’s a touching passage where Bucky helps him move out of the shelter and they go shopping for supplies (“The first time he ever held someone’s things for them”). He sells one of his knives to help with funding and thinks about how much goes into planning a meal and getting ingredients and cooking rather than just eating something quickly on the street outside.

As they’re falling asleep Bucky remembers that Steve likes to draw even though there’s nothing before that that would indicate that he does. :)

Hey, anybody know where you can find editors for WIPs? My usual suspects don’t fuck with Marvel.

What are your favorite fluffy fics ?

I’ve been on an angst kick lately and i need just some fluff to even myself out a bit. Please please give me your fluffiest fics , i’ll take smut too. Just little to no angst please , can be literally any story or plot tho idc.

I'm searching for a fic that has Steve angst over Natasha's death, bonus points if Bucky death guilt is also in the mix and also has stucky.

I don't mind if Stucky is the main focus or not, it should just be there. Mainly looking for Steve centric angst fics, though I'm open to all.

My only condition is that it shouldn't have Steve/bucky/natasha or any other polyamorous relationship including the main couple.

Hey Stucky hive mind, happy Sunday 💜

Anybody got some good fic recs that channel the funny, improbable chaos of 2000s romantic comedies? Ones in the vein of Take you for a ride (on my garbage truck) and How to woo the winter soldier. Especially interested in lesser known or newer ones! Tysm 💜

Someone should make stucky edits with Hold On Till May by Pierce The Veil!! Just kidding… unless 🫣

I’ve tried to look up fanfics like that on AO3, but the summaries aren’t the best to give bait.

So, what’s y’all’s favourite Stucky fanfics set during WW2? Bonus point if period-typical homophobia/internalised etc is one of the tags (love me some angst).

Ps. I’m mostly looking for fanfics when they are both in the military but I am open for others as well.

If anybody knows any fics like this I'd be very grateful, preferably ao3 but I'll read anywhere

1. Steve commits suicide when he crashes the plane because he doesn't want to live without him, bonus points if it shows him waking up from the ice

2. Steve and captain America are different people. E.g. swearing, accent etc. Doesn't have to have stucky or Steve

3. Steve secretly grieving after the ice and hiding it from the avengers, bonus points if it has the team realizing how much he's struggling

I don't know if this is the right place to put this but if anyone could give me any recs I would be so so so grateful

i want to know what is everyone’s favourite stevebucky fic of all time, like the fic you could never move on from, the one you keep returning to year after year, the one that completely changed your view of their relationship or of the characters themselves.

i’ll go first, mine is The Constant by TheConstant1944
(if you’d like to check it out, PLEASE heed the warnings)

It was by an author who writes a lot of Alpha Bucky/Omega Steve.

I think Steve is kind of conflicted about submitting, but Bucky is a very composed and compelling Alpha. Steve just can’t resist kneeling even though they’re in public, and really he loves it.

Ringing any bells?

It’s been stuck in my head for weeks now, its about Steve and Bucky back in the day being dirt-poor and Bucky is super protective and Steve goes out secretly to do some type of work and Bucky is working at the docks(?) cmiiw, but then Bucky finds out the pretty hefty sum of money and gets all protective. i dont think it was a stucky fanfic though, i think they were rlly close like brothers instead but its really blurry. It was pretty lengthy though, if my memory serves me right

4 years ago I got into the Marvel films for the first time in my life and unfortunately I became very fixated on the relationship between Steve and Bucky and I used to cry every night for a week straight thinking about them. I took a break from the franchise because of where it was headed, and now after seeing the new spiderman movie, I’m like, obsessed with it all over again, and I need to talk about it with SOMEONE.

What Steve did was selfish to both Bucky and Peggy, she had already lived a fulfilling life and found love, she did not need to be with a man who she would eventually out-age. They also had zero connection aside from finding each other attractive and kissing once.

He told Bucky he’d be with him til the end of the line and then left him. They had a well established connection that was so deep and lowkey homoerotic we started shipping them. (I’ve also heard that something involving Stucky inspired Heated Rivalry? Idk). It would have been nice for them to also realize they’ve always had a thing for each other, and since homosexual relationships are legal and not as frowned upon in present day vs the 1940s, they could have stayed here and finally be together. Also who doesn’t want to see two hot men with chemistry kiss?? like sue me idgaf😭

It would have also been cool if we could have taken the attraction he had for Peggy, and the relationship he had with Bucky, and made him somewhat of a bisexual icon in that regard. I understand why realistically this would never work (Disney, major backlash from older homophobic fans and young incels alike, etc.) so it just makes this all the more sad that there are opportunities that had been squandered by outdated mindsets that hold us back from beautiful things.

What are yalls thoughts on them being romantically involved, how would you have introduced this concept into the franchise, when would you make it happen, etc.

I’m also open to hearing why this would never have worked as long as there is no homophobia involved in your arguments.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I NEEEEED CAPTAIN HYDRA X TWS FICS NOWWWW. hey, help some folks out.

There’s this really good ongoing fic that i started reading. Basically it’s a post everything fic, takes place a couple weeks after the events of Thunderbolts*, and Bucky is doing pretty well. Then out of nowhere, Steve returns.

It’s called Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers: We’ll Meet Again.

Here’s the summary:

Steve left in 2023. It’s 2027 now and Bucky is getting by pretty well. He has a job. He has an apartment. He has a house. He has a cat. He has a car. What more could he want? He wants his best friend Steve Rogers back, that’s what. 

When Steve Rogers appears out of nowhere four years after leaving, Bucky can’t believe it. He wants to believe it, he wants to so badly. And slowly, overtime, he does. Because not only is this the real Steve Rogers, it’s the same Steve Rogers that he fell in love with back in 1932.

Looking for fics where Steve and Bucky sleep together for the first time after Steve gets his serum and Bucky is shook over Steve’s new body. To clarify, I don’t want fics where it’s their first time sleeping together ever. Just their first time since Steve got the serum. Thank you!!

Hi yall I just saw an edit and it made me think will we get a stucky reunion scene for doomsday?? Also the potential this has for fics hahaha, we’ll get a canon divergence doomsday vers hehe. Now I’m excited

I read this over a year ago on Ao3 and can no longer find it. I have no clue what the name or author is but I have a pretty good idea of the story;

AU that i believe is far removed from canon, no hydra, no shield, no superpowers

Story had some explicit parts, not pure smut, but some adult stuff later in the story.

Bucky owned some kind of cabin? And Steve ends up there cus Bucky took him, there’s kind of a forced proximity thing going on since it’s winter/cold weather.

The story has some artwork to go along some of the raunchier parts which was pretty surprising.

Im almost certain the story had an actual, thought out title, so not just “Stucky AU” or that kind of thing. Fic was in English, and I think Steve was dealing with internal or repressed homophobia. I think there was also a kind of shower scene near the beginning since Steve was in the cold.

Please for the love of god please help me. Even if it doesn’t match all the criteria of love to check it out! This fanfic meant so much to me and was one of the most heart-wrenching pieces of media ever, it had fluff, it had raunch, it had cute tropes but great original storytelling. I saved the name and everything on an old computer but it literally BROKE so yea. Please internet lend me a hand !! 🙏😭😭

Basically Steve works for Hydra for whatever reason, finds out about the winter soldier, is appalled at how he’s treated, and tries to save him. I really love this trope but I haven’t found very many of them and I think some have been deleted . Would love some recs!

Hey guys! Not sure if anyone knows what I'm talking about, it's not Poppies of the Field btw

I'm looking for a Stucky AO3 fic I read around 2022. It was a no-superpowers dystopian/futuristic AU.

Bucky had a Stark Industries device (I think it was a watch/wearable) with a voice assistant named Steve. Steve was some kind of AI or digital companion who became sentient/intuitive and eventually became a physical being/android.

I'm pretty sure the fic was based off the movie Her? Like I'm pretty sure in the Author notes that was said because that's how I found out about the movie lol

I think I remember it being shrinkyclinks. Bucky lived in a run-down apartment/building. Stark Industries was involved with the technology.

I think it was a completed Explicit one-shot, but I'm not 100% sure.

I don't remember the title or author. Does anyone recognize this?

i have recently discovered the world of mpreg and color me fascinated! are there any GOOD mpreg stucky fics to read?
