Apologies for the late @buckybarnesbingo masterpost—I actually have a concussion and so am supposed to be avoiding screens but this was already half drafted so I put on my special glasses and cracked open my laptop that has a filter on it and am sending prayers to up above that this doesn't set back my recovery too much.

Many thanks to everyone in the Bucky Barnes Bingo server—I truly never could have managed this without y'all, especially considering some of these fills were only completed because of our round robins! Additional big thanks to everyone who takes the time to read these—I adore writing and I'm so glad to see others enjoying my stories too. 😊

Many thanks also to @tinysugacube for her grammatical prowess, as well as to Marvin for his official seal of approval as they helped sculpt and shape almost all of the fics I posted for this event. Any mistakes are wholly my own.

You can find all of these fics collected under my Rev's Bucky Barnes Bingo 2025 Fills series on AO3, but I've also described them briefly below.

It was a natural part of the universe, the same as water or fire. But at the same time, magic sucked sometimes. Like when your house flooded or got set on fire, or your fairy guardian’s bestie needed someone who was immune to truth spells to marry his charge before his 21st birthday so that the kingdom wouldn't fall into the hands of a madman, and wouldn't you know that immunity to truth spells was the protection Bucky had been gifted with as a baby. AKA a WinterWidowHawk arranged marriage AU.

Bucky/Sam & Loki/Mobius. 8,670 Words. Square(s): U:4 Time Travel Summary: Loki got bored. Sylvie was in a betting mood. Mobius was feeling romantic. Chaos ensues.

Each reset of their strange, shared purgatory brings them closer, and gives them a chance to prevent disaster, to learn, to heal, and maybe even to fall in love.

Title: Rooms like These Author: RuckyStarnes Words: 982 Characters: Bucky Barnes, Kobik, Wanda Maximoff, Natasha Romanoff, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Clint Barton, Yelena Belova, Kate Bishop, Bob Reynolds, Alexei Shostakov, Uatu, Lucky, Niho, Alpine Tags & Warnings: Domestic Fluff, Found Family Rating: Gen Square Filled/Prompt: U2: Exchanging of Gifts Written for: @buckybarnesbingo Summary: There are rules to rooms like this—rooms filled with people stitched together by choice rather than blood. They are never remarkable at first glance. But they hold something rare: the quiet, fragile miracle of people who chose to stay. Type: Ficlet

If there is a rule about rooms like this, rooms filled with survivors stitched together by choice rather than blood, it is this: they never look remarkable at first. There is no grand design, no careful symmetry, just a space that has learned to hold people without asking what they bring with them. The Watcher has seen palaces with less truth in their walls.

The living room is borrowed, rearranged, imperfect. Too many chairs have been dragged in from other rooms, their legs scraping the floor at odd angles. The tree leans slightly to the left because no one could agree on which side was the best, and the lights blink in a pattern that suggests someone tried to fix them and decided it was not worth the argument. There is real warmth within in the packed room, the kind that settles in and envelops every person because people chose to stay.

James Buchanan Barnes sits where he always does, close enough to be part of things but far enough on the outside that leaving wouldn’t cause a scene. Joy, for him, is still something that can arrive and leave too quickly, knocking the air from his lungs if he is not careful. He keeps one foot braced, just in case.

Mr. Fix-It: Bucky Barnes Fanart: This art was created for the @buckybarnesbingo prompt K2: Fix-It Fic putting a spin on the notion of a fix-it as it features Bucky in the role of the sexy handyman. Since this isn't technically a fic as it's art, I included a 508 word description/summary of a story that could go with the art itself and the potential for an open pairing that goes along with it. There is also a variant art under the cut with Bucky wearing safety goggles as well for those interested in taking a look :) For everyone else who just wants to take a look at the art, I hope you enjoy it as it was a lot of fun to create!

Some things just keep on giving. And the fallout from the acid attack (from those damned files) just keeps going.

In other words, a knock at the door is now never not going to be scary.

Some things just keep on giving. And the fallout from the acid attack (from those damned files) just keeps going. In other words, a knock at the door is now never not going to be scary.

Especially when it’s one that they don’t expect.

Knock knock.

Dick tenses at the sound, heart thrumming in his ear as he glances around for signs of danger and he can immediately tell that he’s not the only one having a reaction.

Okay, looks like you really can get PTSD from someone knocking on a door. (Though a part of him does wonder if it’s any door or, you know, just this door.) Thanks but no thanks, Joker.

No one moves.

“Someone is really going to have to answer that,” Tim says.

Jason scowls. “Don’t look at me. Last time I tried that shit, it killed me.”

“Language, Jason!”

“Sorry, Alf.” A beat. “Still not getting the door.”

Knock. Knock.

Steph pulls Cass up. “Jeez Louise. Fine. I’ll get it. C’mon, Cass.”

...

Clark, Diana, and J’onn – Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter – call Batman to the JLA for his Tribunal. It… goes about as well as they expect.

~~~

For the record, actually holding the Tribunal takes some scheduling, since this involves one of the main Founders of the JLA. And they always seem to be busy with something or other.

And it hasn’t escaped Clark’s notice that Batman has been basically operating as if everything is normal. Like nothing has changed when everything has. He’s holding down shifts on monitor duty; taking part on missions; spending time in his city; you know, doing the usual Batman things.

The only difference between now and Batman’s usual habits is that he’s just a little bit gruffer on comms. But given Bats' usual taciturn nature, well, that’s a bit of a moot point.

They’ve discussed getting Batman up to the Watchtower through various means, from deceitful to subtle, but in the end, they settle for something much more direct. They send him an encrypted text through JLA channels.
