“Traveling Light” (E, 56k) by wearing_tearing

When Steve wakes up, it is a surprise.

The last thing he remembers is the bottom of the lake, sharp teeth and yellow eyes, and the cold pressure of not being able to breathe. But he isn’t dead. He didn’t drown. He is not in the water anymore.

Instead, he is warm, very much alive, and wrapped in a cocoon of feathers.

He’s also naked. And with a man lying right next to him.

+ Fantasy AU. Steve gets wings, gets Bucky, gets a new purpose. (and gets to paint for the panthers)

“The First Thing About Birds” (T, 3k) by SleepsWithCoyotes

Bucky says it's a hazard of the job, but those hazards are different when you've got wings.

+ Pre-WW2. Bucky comes home after a long day at work. Domestic grooming loveliness

“the wind beneath” (T, 1k) by toli-a (togina)

Not everyone had wings - in fact, they were so rare that no one could decide if the winged were part bird, part angel, or merely some Darwinian fly in the ointment. Steve had grown up in the shadow of Bucky's wings, had always believed that having wings meant something. (Like Bucky, Steve's faith wouldn't survive the war.)

+ TFA. Steve goes from two wings to six. Ends at the Valkyrie, so prepare for emotional onslaught

“let’s go and see the stars” (T, 2k) by amosanguis

Steve’s wings have always been too big.

+ Pre-WW2 to Post WS. Established relationship and interesting world building. Range 3 wings and above can fly, and Steve is the only one with a range six.

“Chrysalid” (G, 2k) by IamShadow21

You're not ashamed of them, not really. You just wish that if the serum was going to give you super strength and health and ridiculous head wings, the government would have at least given you something less humiliating to do than parade around in fancy dress.

+ WW2 to Post WS. The wings on Cap’s helmet aren’t just symbolic

-☆- and a freebie! -☆-

“Plunge” (T, 32k) by leveragehunters

Steve squawked as a hand wrapped loosely around his wrist. He braked, wings banking so hard he almost somersaulted over himself, and surged up and away from the ocean, spinning to find himself staring at—

A triton was laughing up at him, sharp teeth gleaming in the sunlight. Steve had seen tritons before. He knew what lurked under the water. The power and violence wrapped in muscle and skin.

The triton's grin turned knowing, like he could see what Steve was thinking. "Hey there, Feathers. You want to go for a swim?"

+ Fantasy AU. Reposted from the Writer Spotlight because I absolutely have to. Mer Bucky loves Steve’s wings

“Stop Dragon My Heart Around” (T, 15k) by leveragehunters

All Bucky had wanted was gold. A few jewels. Not a king's riches, not a prince's fortune, just enough he'd never have to worry about anything ever again. It was what had sent him racing to the dragon's cave when he'd overheard the news that the Prince had killed her.

But he should have known better. Nothing good ever came from eavesdropping, and nothing good ever came from listening to men in pubs, and now instead of gold, instead of jewels, he had an egg. A dragon egg, and no idea how he was going to keep it alive.

The dragon egg wasn't all he had, even if he didn't know it. He also had a full-grown dragon on his trail, one who'd sworn he'd find the egg--and the human who stole it.

+ Fantasy. Dragon Steve, Bucky just wants to do the Right Thing

“sokrovische moyo” (M, 30k) by greenbergsays

The one where Bucky is a dragon, Steve is a water nymph, and somehow, they fall in love.

+ Fantasy. Dragon Bucky, Steve just wants to hang out and Bucky is charmed

-☆-

“Treasured” (M, 24k) by Dira Sudis

When everyone in town became convinced that a dragon really had come again to the Old Lair, and that the town would have to offer it tribute, they all looked at Steve.

Honestly, he was relieved.

+ Fantasy. Dragon Bucky, Steve is a treasure

"Chase This Light” (T, 58k) by leveragehunters

In the modern world, where the creatures of myth live side-by-secret-side with mundane humanity, Steve Rogers is one of the gifted humans who straddles the line between mythfolk and mundane, and he's never told anyone about the day he healed a dragon.

Living in the city in human form, Bucky's managed to shed most of dragon-kind's more unpleasant tendencies, but he's never quite managed to shake the tendency to get attached, especially not when it comes to the healer who saved his life.

When healers start going missing, Bucky will do anything to make sure Steve isn't one of them, something that would be a hell of a lot easier if Steve could stand the sight of him. Of course, Steve might feel differently if he knew Bucky was the dragon he'd saved all those years ago.

+ Modern Fantasy. Dragon Bucky, Steve is the city’s only healer without guild protection

-☆-

“The Wings They Brand You With” (E, 11k) by SleepsWithCoyotes

The adventures of Dragon!Bucky and his princess Steve.

+WW2 to Post WS. Hydra turns Buck into a dragon, and he finds Steve again in the future

“I Wished On The Moon For You” (T, 14k) by attackofthezee (noxlunate)

“Holy shit,” Sam says, and then delighted, “Holy shit. You look like my nana’s dog. This is incredible.”

“Yeah, funny that, when they gave him the serum it only really worked on the human bits.” Bucky, whose reaction to Sam thus far has been standoffish at best, and like a wolf whose territory has been invaded at worst, sounds amused, the asshole.

Steve growls a little.

Or rather: A story in which Steve Rogers is the littlest werewolf who could and Bucky Barnes comes in from the cold and makes him his home.

+ WW2 to Post WS. Bucky comes back and tries to court Steve via providing, decorating, and butchering an entire cow. 

-☆-

“Discord and Rhyme” (E, 9k) by velvetjinx

Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes are werewolves. They have feelings for each other, but are too busy pining to notice that they both feel the same way. Their inner wolves have had enough, but will that be sufficient to bring them together as humans?

+ Modern AU. Bucky and Steve have sex several times over full moon weekends, but they’re too awkward to ever talk about it

-☆-

“And the Autumn Moon is Bright” (M, 9k) by SleepsWithCoyotes

It takes Steve a couple of weeks to discover all the changes the serum has made in him...until the night before the next full moon, to be precise. Now he just wants to know if he can be fixed, and why his shiny new instincts have taken a turn for the incredibly embarrassing where Bucky's concerned.

+ Serum to Post-Azzano. Steve and Bucky are each keeping a secret and their efforts to protect the other lead to comedic and sexy results.

“Wolf in Dork’s Clothing” (T, 5k) by Nejinee

A day in the life of Steve and his wolfpack.

+ Modern AU. Domestic snapshots of Steve’s mixed pack and his Bucky

“The Ballad of The Three Legged Werewolf” (E, 84k) by The Notorious Trollop Vo the Terrible

Funny how the perfect time to begin again is right after you realize everything you had is gone. After being a test subject and a weapon in the hands of the humans for fifteen years, Bucky is finally free. His first order of business is finding his own kind and maybe some answers about the holes in his memory. When he meets the pack's First Alpha, he quickly realizes there is something irresistible about him that has nothing to do with his pack standing. With mating season on the horizon, it's time to pick a partner and he knows exactly which alpha he'd like to keep his den warm. Now if only he could remember how seduction works.

+ Fantasy AU. Bucky gets a new life, a new home, and Steve. The first half is public mating rituals, heat, mpreg. The second half is plotty with pack politics
