I should also add to my Dr. Mum's Journey into the Multiverse series that she doesn't believe Bucky is dead because "he's Captain America's first love". Direct quote.

Part Three of the fic rec coming at you! Sorry for it coming so late in the day - I was finishing up reading a fic that I wanted to add to this part!
I do only add fics that I’ve read, and enjoyed, to this rec so (once again) there will be few, if any, ABO and Shrinkyclink fics!
As always; I will provide the Google Doc link where I update the rec regularly, but if you’d prefer it formatted here on tumblr, it is under the cut!
If you want to recommend fics, go for it!

All My Chances Again

Notable Tags: Time Travel, Endgame Fix-It
Warnings: Smut
Synopsis: I love him, Steve thinks into the spiraling ether; I love him; let me tell him. Give me the chance to set that one thing right. If I can’t rest for saving him, let me give him all of me and hope that it’s enough.
Or; Steve gets lost in the time matrix, and begs for an out. Seems confession is good for the soul—or so he hopes.
I, Barnes

Warnings: Heavy Smut, Talk of Suicide, Non-Consenual Vouyerism, Panic Attacks

If Steve Rogers Were Your Boyfriend
Word Count: 70.2k
Rating: Mature
Notable Tags: Cafe!AU, Barista!Steve, Author!Bucky
Warnings: Abusive Relationship (not Steve and Bucky)
Synopsis: When he's not editing a magazine he truly loathes or navigating a rocky relationship he truly doesn't deserve, Bucky Barnes writes a fantasy romance column with an unexpectedly loyal internet following about the barista at his favorite cafe. Barista Boyfriend makes these other worlds bearable, but the real world dreamboat isn’t remotely involved; Steve Rogers is just a muse. Everyone loves the column. And it definitely isn’t killing Bucky very gently in 500 word increments, not in the slightest. What kind of a writer can't keep fact and fiction straight?
James Fuckin' Barnes, that's who.

Warnings: None
Synopsis: Steve is captured by Hydra, who for lack of any other containment options, activate the Winter Soldier and order the man to "take care of Captain America". They really should have been more specific.

How Bucky Barnes Won His Second Pulitzer
Word Count: 11.6k
Rating: General Audience
Notable Tags: Shrunkyclunks, Protective Steve
Warnings: None
Synopsis: It isn’t like him and Steve go out frequently. Sometimes he’ll stop by Bucky’s apartment and they’ll binge watch tv shows, or Steve will tell him stories from ‘back in the day’. They’ve only gone out in public two or three times and it was merely quick runs to get coffee, or more popcorn.
So Bucky really doesn’t understand where this Hydra asshole is coming from when he says: “The reason we took you is because we know the Captain will come running right into our trap.”
(aka: bucky is an award winning journalist who really doesn't appreciate being used as bait for a beefed up, spandex-clad super soldier.)
Maybe This Christmas

But then he runs into Steve, literally, and suddenly his Christmas isn’t looking so empty after all.

Rating: Teen and Up
Notable Tags: No Powers!AU, Veteran!Bucky, Graphic Designer!Steve
Warnings: None
Synopsis: It takes a moment for Steve to add up the features on the man in front of him: those blue-grey eyes, a cleft chin, high cheekbones. Sure, he's older, dirtier, taller, but there's only one person Steve knew who looked like that. "Bucky?" he asks. "Bucky Barnes?" It's been so long since he's said that name out loud.
"Yeah, I..." Bucky pauses. "Oh fuck," he says. "I missed my stop."
Steve smiles. “Wanna get a burger?” he asks, noting the happy coincidence that Bucky Barnes, of all the people in New York, fell asleep in the same subway car that Steve would walk into, and missed his stop.
“Sure,” Bucky says with a shrug. “I could eat.”
Kingdom Come
Word Count: 8.2k
Rating: Teen and Up
Notable Tags: Missions Gone Wrong, Angst w/ Happy Ending
Warnings: Near Death Experience
Synopsis: “It’s too late, Steve,” Bucky’s voice across the comm is flat, layered with static. “The deadlock’s irreversible. S’the only way.”
Steve knows what nearly dying feels like; knows it better than most, and this—those words, that voice, this impossible burning that courses through him like the serum in reverse, this.
This is so much worse than nearly.
Just Me, You, and These Shitty Cigarettes

Rating: Explicit
Notable Tags: Modern!AU, Veteran!Bucky, Barista!Bucky, Artist!Steve
Warnings: Smut, Dubious Consent

With Bucky's help, Steve means to find out how exactly he ended up in 2017, and solve the bigger mystery of how to get home. There's just one problem. The closer they get to their goal, the less certain Steve is that he wants to go home.
Énoument
Word Count: 77.9k
Rating: Mature
Notable Tags: Shrunkyclunks, Meet-Cute
Warnings: Smut
Synopsis: When Steve first met Sergeant James Barnes during the New York invasion, he flipped Steve off for calling him a civilian, then roundhouse kicked an alien in the face.
They haven't stopped talking to each other ever since, and Steve thought it was normal for him to latch onto the first person who befriended him after coming out of the ice.
Nope, turns out he was just pining.
Closed Book
Word Count: 38.8k
Rating: Explicit
Notable Tags: Amnesia
Warnings: Smut
Synopsis: Bucky woke up with a headache, a mouth that tasted like something had died in it, and hands-down, swear-to-god, the most beautiful man he had ever seen asleep in his lap.
Bucky was also, he realized after a moment, strapped down to a hospital bed with about six different monitors making unsynced, equally piercing, beeps. Beyond that he couldn’t quite see—there was a hideous floral curtain pulled around the bed, and while he could just make out figures moving in the room beyond it, the pattern made his head pound even worse the longer he looked at it.
So. That was concerning.

Day 5: Captain America: the First Avenger
"oh that's Bucky Barnes. Wait, is Bucky a good guy or a bad guy?"
-"is that Stan Tucci??"
-Dr. Erskine mixes up mythos and she's mad about it.
-Reader, my mother, the ex-pat, is not a fan of the propoganda
-*Steve breaks into the first Hydra base* "I love how he can just knock on the door" said with a giggle
-*Hydra base blows up* "okay, it's kinda cool" (she seems to be saying this despite herself)
-"Ugh, I hate that bro code" (Reader, we had to pause for several minutes to explain the incoming Stucky/Stony wars)
-"ahhh oh my god noooo!!! This is SO Indiana Jones."
-*Bucky falls* "oh noo. Wait a minute 🤔"
-*Steve gets captured* "...I'm assuming that was on purpose?"
-"Peggy is like Marry Poppins, practically perfect in every way" said as Peggy's hair stays immaculate even without a helmet through battle
-"That was well done" (said with surprise)
I should also add that she is tentatively a Stucky shipper?????? She's 100% convinced Bucky isn't dead because, and I quote, "He's Captain America's first love 🥺"
