NAME 3 THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF THAT YOUR FOLLOWERS MIGHT NOT KNOW (via @drjules64)

I never brush or comb my hair.  It’s really curly and agitating it just makes it frizzy - fingers are the most grooming it gets.

I can’t swim.  My mum took me to classes when I was little but she was too scared to put her face under the water, so I wouldn’t either, so we were ejected from the class.  I never really overcame that unpromising start.

BETTY’S RECENT TOP TEN

A plethora of pairings/groupings and fandoms. In no particular order.

Kiss This Guy by @bert-and-ernie-are-gay

[mcu, steve/bucky, modern!au, 10k]

The new next-door neighbor is turning Steve’s tidy, well-organized life upside down with his chaotic sleep schedule and all-night musical performances. But maybe Steve doesn’t really mind if things get a little bit messy?

In which Bucky Barnes exhibits piano-playing and invisible-rat-chasing behavior, followed by literal (marshmallow) fluff in the form of a Very Avengers Thanksgiving.

Foolish Fire by @shiphitsthefan

[spn, charlie/jo, modern!au, 10k]

Charlie Bradbury has a huge crush on her new neighbor, Jo Harvelle. She's ridiculously hot, insanely talented, and effortlessly cool, a puzzle that Charlie longs to solve. Jo, on the other hand, has an entirely different set of clues she hopes Charlie will find a solution for. Piece by piece, they come together.

Between Their Names by @sproings

[mcu, steve/bucky, modern!au, 20k]

What would a background check have turned up about Steven Grant Rogers?

Hopefully not the fact that Bucky could still remember the guy’s middle name. But certainly the fact that Steve and Bucky (and Jesus how their names still flowed together in his head) had spent three years living on the same street, going to the same school.

And now they were strangers.

AKA The one where Steve teaches a knitting class, and Bucky hides in a tree, and there's a cat named Peepers

Some Days Last Longer than Others by @notallbees

[mcu, steve/bucky, farm!au, 85k]

The pastor's seventeen year old son Steve is the last thing Bucky expects. He's got a smart mouth, a nose for trouble, and a habit of seducing members of the football team. Bucky didn't think he was looking for anything, but Steve 's got his own ideas about what Bucky needs.

A Thing That Wants by magdaliny

[mcu, natasha/maria, canon-ish, 5k]

“Hey, Steve,” Bucky says. “We’re gonna find Nat a dame, okay?”

Natasha shoves him into the pool.

You Would Never Call Me Baby by th_esaurus

[mcu, steve/bucky, pre-canon, 2k]

When a fella asked him what he did, he replied that he was a boxer. "You win a lotta fights?"

"Yeah," Bucky spat. "All of 'em."

Living Arrangements by Netgirl_y2k

[mcu, peggy/angie, canon, 3k]

Angie almost says, I think Peggy and me are basically married, and I don't think she's noticed, just to see the look on Jarvis's face.

The Way We Were by @mathildia

[mcu, steve/rumlow, canon, 12k]

Rumlow dipped his head, touched his chin to his chest and looked up at Steve. It was odd, sort of innocent. And that was just weird. “Yeh, I know” he said. “But I’m serious; don’t want things to change.”

Steve huffed out a fast breath that almost sounded like a scoff. “Well they’re fucking..., they’re fucking gonna.”

Easing In by @lingua-mortua

[mcu, steve/rumlow, canon, 4k]

Brock Rumlow's just a man. A man with jackboots and a penchant for face-fucking. Poor, desperate, Captain America doesn't really stand a chance.

Storm by @morethanslightly

[mcu, steve/bucky/peggy, canon, 10k]

“Perhaps you’re worth the trouble after all,” Peggy tells Bucky, and he grins. They’ve developed a cautious, teasing relationship. Steve is absurdly grateful that they tolerate each other at all. He fantasizes, sometimes, that they might even like each other in the same way that he likes—

“God, Sergeant Barnes, if this place has hot water, I’ll kiss you.”

his videos always fool me when i'm looking up paul gross on youtube. it's terribly disappointing.

- Four Minute Window, by Speranza (actually everything by Speranza) - I love the set up that everyone think’s Steve’s the knight on a white charger, but he needs Bucky to rescue him.  http://archiveofourown.org/works/3130037?view_adult=true

- There’s My Territory (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2202087) or Just Stay Alive (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1560467) by Dira Sudis.  These are Bucky/Steve/Sam: traumatised ex-assassin takes control of his life through lingerie, or through flirting with/dating his old boyfriend’s new boyfriend.

- Rates of Recidivism (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2550842?view_full_work=true) by alcibides, in which Bucky Barnes learns to be angry and there is an extrordinary amount of angst and hurt/comfort.

- When the Season Comes Around (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2398808) wherein Steve finds Bucky and brings him home on New Year’s Eve, but things don’t go well so Bucky gets job and a cat and moves to Brooklyn to find himself and then fall back in love with Steve.

- Late Show by ipoiledi (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2437097) - drunken supersoldier lapdancing: don’t kink-shame me

- Out of the Dead Land by emilyenrose (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1871955/chapters/4031307#bookmark-form) - Hydra’s building machines that look like people, and the Winter Soldier is trying to remember how to be Bucky Barnes.

- Not Another Supersoldier Fantasy (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2383895#bookmark-form) by triedunture - Bucky discovers there is  Captain America dildo modelled on Steve’s cock and tells himself “Barnes, you deserve nice things.”

- This You Protect by owlet (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1752638/chapters/3745571) - this is my favourite favourite - grumpy ex-assassin discovers Starbucks while providing surreptitious bodyguard services to a reckless supersoldier.  There is a cat and some old people and nothing hurts.
