“Bucky,” Steve whispers. This time the name fits better than Borlas or Hesohtar, because this is a name for him here, right now, with Steve. “Welcome home.”

You can immediately tell this fic is truly a work of love and I did my best to do it justice but dammit, you go try reaching that level of epicness, thank you very much. THAT SAID, @resinonao3 has really done a fantastic job and it was a blast to see this come together 💖!!

The demon smirked, as if it could read his thoughts, and leaned closer to Steve. “You called?” it asked, smooth voice almost teasing. “It isn’t often I’m called.”

“Steve takes the herd back to the same spot the next day in his bid to prove Sam wrong. He spends the entire day there and doesn’t see anyone else. Just as he’s about to take the goats back home, a man with shoulder-length brown hair, eyes like the stormy sea, and a bronze metal arm pops into existence a few feet away from him.

“Hi. Have you lost anything today?” the man asks.

Steve screams.

The man screams back.

Steve picks up a rock and throws it at the guy, hitting him in the forehead. “Ow, the fuck!” the man shouts. Steve bends down to get another rock to throw, but the man is gone again by the time he straightens up.

Steve sighs. He’s never going to hear the end of this from Sam.”

Ancient Greece AU. Bucky is the God of Lost Things, a lesser god. His best friend is a crow that he can understand. Steve is a spirited goat herder. Apollo meddles a lot and looks like a young Robert Redford. Hilarity (and some angst) ensues!

Summary: 

Bucky Barnes has his life together. While it doesn’t seem like it to anyone else, especially Sam, he really does. He’s almost finished with his second Masters, he’s top of his class, and even tutors some poor engineering undergrads. Bucky just has to snag one of Stark Industries’ internships for his life to fall in line with that plan. So what if his sleeping schedule is beyond salvageable? So what if he hasn’t had a stable relationship in years?? So what if he goes to the gym at the weirdest hours? He’s focused on making up for his past mistakes. What kind of brother working at Hydra Enterprises, the biggest security company with a contract with the Department of Defense, fails his own sister so bad? He might have not been able to look at her since she was in that hospital bed, but he’s going to change that when he gets that internship and starts working on fixing the mess he created. In his his middle-of-the-night gym runs, Bucky meets Gym Steve, the hot graveyard shift PT, who not only improves Bucky’s posture, but sets him right on track with his plan. A lucky charm, or maybe the worst thing after Bucky’s Muscle Physiology class.

Summary:

“Do you believe in destiny?” Bucky asks then. “Soulmates, that kind of stuff?”

“I don't know,” Steve says with a half shrug. “Maybe. Why?”

Bucky turns his head to meet his eye and says, “I think we were destined to meet again.”

OR in which Steve flies to Italy to hike through the mountains in a desperate need to get away after the death of his mother. He expects it to be hard, both physically and mentally, and it is. But what he doesn't expect is to run into his childhood best friend at the airport.

Little Did They Know

a Stranger Than Fiction AU by @djchika for my art submission for @stuckyaubang ! <3<3

WHERE SOMEBODY WAITS FOR ME

After his wife's death, Steve Rogers was left with a one year old daughter, a much emptier home, and a grief that left him near catatonic. Bucky Barnes - Iraq vet and Steve's longtime best friend - stepped up to help him stitch his life back together and raise his daughter until he was back on his feet. It wasn't a hard decision as far as Bucky was concerned. Steve needed the help, and he needed it from someone he already trusted with his kid, so who else could do it?

Years later, Steve and Bucky have been platonically coparenting Sarah ever since Bucky offered to help out, and Bucky is starting to realize just how much he likes playing house with Steve... and how close everything is to blowing up in his face because of it.
