“Under the Skin” (T, 18k) by leveragehunters

Working in a brothel wasn't somewhere Steve ever expected to find himself, but then he'd never expected to quit his shitty corporate hell-job to apprentice as a tattoo artist. Great as it was, his apprenticeship didn't come with a pay cheque, so eating and keeping a roof over his head meant finding a job that paid actual money. Which was how he'd ended up as the night receptionist in a brothel, accidentally holding Bucky's hand, with no idea Bucky was going to turn out to be something else he'd never expected.

“An Ace Up My Sleeve” (T, 8k) by leveragehunters

Natasha warned Bucky not to seduce the Russians. She warned him the Dolas, protective spirits of Slavic fate, wouldn’t like it. But he's an incubus, seducing people is kind of what he does. When a Dola expresses its displeasure by leaving Bucky beaten and hurting in an alley, he finds himself rescued by someone he can't seduce. Someone with a warm smile and clear blue eyes. Someone he can't seem to stay away from.

+ Modern AU. Incubus Bucky and Asexual Steve date, love, and grow old together

“Recipe for Demi-saster” (E, 24k) by Imagineitdear

When Steve finally realizes he isn't broken, he settles in for a nice life of cookie-baking and kinky porn. Gone are the days of trying to push himself into flirting, no-strings-attached sex, or awkward dates with near-strangers. Gone is the nagging self-doubt that he should want things exactly how everyone else does.

Years later, on one of his least favorite days of the year, he re-meets one of said no-strings-attached hookups from his past. Who just moved in down the street and seems to want to be friends now. After having a great time for *once* on a Fourth of July, Steve wants the same.

But he’s forgotten something rather important: for demi-sexuals, there's no place more dangerous than the friend zone.

+ Modern AU. Demisexual Steve bakes a lot of cookies and is loved by friends and Bucky

“It’s Like, The Tinder Of Cuddling” (T, 5k) by attackofthezee (noxlunate)

“Hi.” He says instead of ‘you are the most aesthetically pleasing human I’ve ever seen, please let me hold your hand.’ because that would be weird. Also he might possibly get to hold Bucky’s hand without having to say anything embarrassing, so y’know, he might as well just avoid that.

“Glad to know you’re not a big burly serial killer hiding beneath the pictures of a Williamsburg hipster.” Is what Bucky apparently seems to think is a proper greeting.

Steve’s weirdly charmed.
