“Thief” (G, 4k) by biblionerd07

Bucky always did have sticky fingers, but he'd never been an actual thief until Steve came along. Five times Bucky stole for Steve, but kind of more for himself.

+ What Steve wants, Bucky makes sure he gets.

“Throw in the Towel” (E, 6k) by amethystkrystal

Steve comes down with scarlet fever, and Bucky spends every last penny he has on the medication. He doesn't regret it one bit, but now there's nothing left for rent and groceries. Desperate for cash, he starts fighting in underground boxing matches run by the mob.

Every time he comes home late, flushed red and sweating from exertion, Steve assumes he was out with a girl. Bucky doesn't correct him. He also doesn't let himself think too hard about why Steve seems so pissed off about it.

+ Exactly what the summary says. Mutual pining and anal sex.

“While You Were Sleeping” (E, 4k) by charmedatmidnight

Bucky Barnes has never been a bad kid. All things considered, he is quite the decent fellow. He attends mass every Sunday and recites his Hail Mary’s. He works harder than most guys this side of Brooklyn to be able to afford to care for his best friend. He saves said best friend’s ass when he gets himself in trouble with all the wrong people. Bucky Barnes has always been a good kid.

But good kids don’t jerk themselves off to thoughts of their best friend when they’re sharing a bed with them.

+ Bucky masturbates while having intense fantasies. Dreams do come true!

“Nice Work if You Can Get It” (M, 12k) by reserve

Bucky Barnes and his best pal Steve Rogers stumble into a situation that leaves Bucky feeling tongue-tied, out of his element, and convinced that Steve—Steve!—has more experience with the ladies than he previously let on. It's terrible.

+ The boys get jobs at the theatre and Bucky realizes he’s in love with Steve. Requited love and happy endings

“If You Let Me” (M, 6k) by lillupon

Steve always thought it was silly how easily girls fell for Bucky, even though they must have known he would only break their hearts. Told himself that he would require more than a few sweet words and a cocky grin. But thinking that while watching Bucky charm his way into a girl’s bed for the night is completely different from being on the receiving end of it.

Bucky teaches Steve how to flirt.

+ Bucky flirts with Steve on pretense but means Every Word. Steve’s first kiss and hand job, with a happy ending 70 years later.

“Take You For a Ride (On my Garbage Truck)” (T, 20k) by GoodbyeBlues

"This is it," Bucky murmured to no one but Mother Earth herself, blades of greenery tickling his lips as he sang his dying whale song into the ground. "This is where I perish." ... Despite how it often looks, dramatic millennial Bucky Barnes is not actually homeless. He's just really, really bad at flirting.

+ Modern AU. Hilarious misunderstandings. Steve is the sweetest guy alive, Sam is a Good Bro, and Bucky’s a Disney princess

“How to Woo the Winter Soldier” (G, 21k) by writeonclara

“I think I’m ready to date again,” Steve said.

“What,” Natasha said.

“What?” Clint said, lowering his binoculars. He blinked at the dumbstruck look on the Captain’s face, then followed his gaze to where he was staring dopily at—at the Winter fucking Soldier.

“Steve, no,” Clint groaned.

Or: Steve courts the Winter Soldier.

+ Post Avengers. Steve falls in love with Bucky (again) and gets questionable courting advice from the internet. Bucky’s reluctantly charmed despite himself

“Strange Visitor (From Another Time)” (E, 51k) by Niitza

James Barnes, rising star reporter of the New York Bulletin, has a plan. One, find out all there is to know about New York's newest vigilante Nomad, starting with his true identity. Two, write a masterful piece about it. Three, win a Pulitzer and become the envy of all his peers. Four, enjoy.

Or, you know, something like that.

One thing's for certain, though: he sure as hell isn't going to let that fucking asshole newbie Grant O'Connor steal his spotlight.

-

Or: the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman AU no one asked for.

+ Shrunkyclunks. Love has a way of throwing ambition off track. (Names may change, but hearts stay the same)

“the secret circuit home” (E, 3k) by ftmsteverogers

In which Bucky escapes Azzano on his own with the other Howling Commandos, rough around the edges, but alive. He makes it back in time to watch Captain America's godawful performance, not knowing that it's his best friend up there in tights.

Then he hits on him after the show.

+ Post Azzano. Steve takes Bucky back to his trailer for a personal morale boost

“Dirty Pics” (M, 3k) by lillupon

There’s this one guy Bucky slept with three months ago who still sends pics of his ass whenever Bucky asks. What can he say? Grant’s got an ass that just won’t quit.

+ Shrunkyclunks. Hookup to friends to potentially more, if Steve ever finds the right time to tell the truth.

-☆- And a freebie! -☆-

“Metallurgy” (M, 22k) by eyres and TheFriendlyPigeon

The battle quieted for the moment, the great metal giant turns, at last, and sees Steve. Dark, almost human hair frames a sharp, steel face - but, Steve is caught by its eyes. They’re bright silver, sparking in the sunlight, shot through with gray and blue, visible even at this distance. Something about them nags at Steve, calls to him, reminds him of…

Instead of making the Winter Soldier, Hydra transfers Bucky's consciousness to a metal body, locking his mind within a prison of steel and programming. However, Bucky is stronger than they could've ever imagined.

+ WW2 to Avengers. Reposted from the Robot List because it’s a gorgeous story. Bucky can’t even say Steve’s name, but Steve figures it out anyway
