#cabigbang2018

Art done for @cabigbang in collaboration with @whtaft!!! The story goes live tomorrow, so make sure you check it out!

“Bucky very slowly pivoted on his boot heels until he was facing Howler and then brought his hand up at a glacial pace to reach out. He expected Howler to pull back at any moment, but he didn’t and Bucky stroked his fingertips lightly along the horse's head and nose. Then, Howler backed away and turned around in his stall, dismissing Bucky, and the moment was over.

Bucky turned and blinked a few times at Steve, clearly surprised and pleased. Steve just smiled and tried really hard not to show how affected he was that Howler had chosen Bucky of all people to make a connection to.”

This year’s contribution to the @cabigbang is a pirate au because we need more pirates in this fandom. Title: Clear Air at the Top of the Sea Author: @ribbonsflyingoutthewindow Artist: @king-of-moose Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence Rating: E (for sexual content in final chapter and gore/violence) Relationships: Steve/Bucky, background Clint/Natasha, background Carol/Jessica Word Count: 47,680 Tags: pirates, sailors, slavery, sword fights, bucket list, pining, bucket list, angst with happy ending Summary:  Captain Steven G. Rogers, fierce and determined leader of a crew of elite sailors, was commissioned by the Royal Navy to stamp out threats of piracy throughout the Atlantic. No one had been assigned to the crew. Each sailor had been chosen and asked to join. For many, it was a mission they took because they had a loyalty to the captain, but Captain Rogers himself looked at his task as a vendetta against a sole man. Pirate Captain Johann Schmidt had anchored his ship in the Brooklyn harbor some twenty years ago when a game of hide and seek led young Bucky Barnes, childhood best friend of Steve Rogers, to board the ship looking for a place to hide. Schmidt left port that evening and Barnes, along with two other boys, were never seen alive again. The bodies of the other boys washed ashore, but the body of Bucky was never recovered. Besides the vest Bucky had been wearing and a severed part of his arm, the boy was all but gone. Now in his mid-thirties, Steve Rogers had risen through the ranks of the navy with unrelenting resolve until he was given the commission he desired: going after the man who had stolen his best friend’s life and serving him the merciless justice he’d shown Bucky years before.

Summary: There are certain unspoken rules when it comes to alpha and omega behavior. Once bonded, an alpha is driven to do whatever it takes to make his omega happy, as well as keep them safe. It can be a complicated dance at times, especially when it comes to ex-assassins who have been brainwashed for decades, but Steve is more than up to the challenge.

But the Avengers’ lives are never easy, and when Bucky asks for something Steve’s not sure he can give, it puts his omega in unprecedented danger. The team has to figure out how to live with the changes Bucky has decided to undergo, all while keeping him safe and allowing him his own decisions.

This is a story about hilariously incompetent mad scientists, unexpected STDs, and finding out way more than you wanted to know about Steve and Bucky’s sex life.

Art by me! Amazing fic by @deceptivesoldier 

If you’re looking for the equivalent of a college rom com, this is the fic for you! Parking way too close to the driver’s side of Bucky’s car is just the beginning, but hey, it’s part of the job.
