Rebecca & Bucky Barnes Masterlist

A Parallel Through Time (ao3) - Jointache_heartache G, 913

Summary: Could be read as romantic or platonic, but was written as a platonic relationship.

Sam and Bucky talk about their sisters.

A Renunion (ao3) - samwilsonspillowpecs G, 3k

Summary: After his rescue from HYDRA’s clutches, Bucky thought he was alone, his family all dead. Steve had said so. Returned from The Blip, Bucky learns, however, that Steve lied, and his sister wants to see him.

as it was (ao3) - casdoms (moffwithhishead) sam/bucky M, 5k

Summary: “You’re dead,” he hears himself say, not wanting to believe it. There’s a dozen things telling him that this is real, that she’s really standing here, and Athena’s insistent pressing of her giant head into his leg is grounding, but -

“You’re one to talk,” Becca huffs back somewhat disbelievingly, the lilt in her accent they’ve both grown out of coming back. “I just got your letter a couple months ago.”

Beautiful Day (ao3) - Parrard G, 2k

Summary: “James, I want to try an experiment,” Dr. Raynor said. “Those have always been fun for me,” She ignored him. “I want you to think of connecting with your family as a mission,” “No, I don’t-” “-Do you want to see your sister?” “Of course I do,” “Then make a plan and make it happen,” So Bucky makes a plan. It's worth it.

Frayed Ties (ao3) - Erica45, snarkymuch G, 2k

Summary: Bucky never went looking for his family, afraid of what he'd find or what they'd think of him. He thought if they were out there, they would be better off without him. It wasn't until a little boy who shared his name ducked into the coffee shop to hide from a fight that his feelings changed.

I'm Getting Sentimental Over You (ao3) - brotherhoodofcats steve/bucky G, 3k

Summary: Brooklyn, 1935. A brief look back to the day Rebecca Barnes realised for sure that her brother was hopelessly in love with his best friend. Bucky was sure he had no idea what she was talking about.

love makes little things grow (ao3) - steviepie steve/bucky G, 11k

Summary: Winifred Barnes and one of her famous pot-pies is something not even the strongest man alive could pass up on, and considering that’s what Steve has been trying to be ever since Sarah died, it’s exactly the tactic Bucky is going to use. He admires Steve’s strength, really, he does. He loves him for being stubborn even more, but he can’t sit by and let Steve sacrifice his own well-being just because he feels alone.

(alternatively: a melancholy fic about bucky and steve both being mama’s boys ft. steve’s baby shoes)

more than you could ever know (ao3) - ProsperDemeter sam/bucky G, 2k

Summary: “Honestly, Jaime,” she teased and beckoned him forward. She tugged her brother down by the ends of his leather coat and pressed her lips gently to his cheek. “You don’t have to look so scared to introduce me to your boyfriend. It’s legal now.”

new york is the ocean (and the ocean is bleedin' salt) (ao3) - defcontwo rebecca/peggy, steve/bucky M, 3k

Summary: It is 1970, and ten minutes and however many blocks ago, Rebecca Barnes looked across the street and out of the corner of her eye, saw a man ascending from the U-Bahn and set off down the street. He had on a dark coat and he walked with a deep, heavy weight to his gait, a swagger with no joy in it, and for all that he walked with his head down, she saw enough to be sure, in that moment so completely dead certain, that he wore her brother's face.

The trouble is, James Buchanan Barnes has been dead for twenty-six years.

Protective Big Brothers (ao3) - haveufoundwhaturlookingfor rebecca/sam, steve/bucky G, 1k

Summary: Sam is taking Rebecca out on their first date, he has the pleasure of meeting her big brother, Bucky.

She who has always been there (ao3) - endlesstwanted sam/bucky T, 500

Summary: Bucky and Sam’s relationship over the years, through Rebecca’s eyes.

sunday lunch (ao3) - sparkagrace steve/bucky T, 4k

Summary: It’s not like Becca hates Bucky’s boyfriends, but he has a terrible track record of staying with them way past their expiry dates. It took months for Bucky to realize his college relationship should have ended at graduation. Steve is just another in a short line of relationships Bucky will eventually end because he doesn’t have time or it wasn’t the right fit.

Then Becca will get her Sunday lunches back.

— Becca Barnes isn't a fan of Steve Rogers, until she realizes that maybe she was wrong.

The Ones We Serve (ao3) - Tinnduin G, 1k

Summary: Series of drabbles that explores Bucky and Rebecca's relationship through the years from birth into the modern age.

Unlike Bucky (ao3) - 107th (FeelsVomit) G, 622

Summary: In 2016, Bucky was not the only Barnes alive. Rebecca Barnes was still living in New York City.

Bucky goes to visit Rebecca, and she recognises him.

You Had It All (But Did Not Know) (ao3) - jemgirl sam/bucky N/R, 3k

Summary: “We’re not missing all that just because you’re still salty that Reverend Wilson’s son wouldn’t give you the time of day in high school.”

“What?” Bucky sputtered indignantly. “Sam Wilson has nothing to do with why I don’t want to go.”

“Yeah right,” Becca practically cackled. “I haven’t forgotten that you used to be half in love with the guy.”

As usual, his sister was exaggerating. Sure, he’d thought Wilson was hot — so had probably seventy-five percent of the school — but that didn’t mean he had been in love with the guy. Sam just had that whole Ferris Bueller thing going on: he was cute and popular and damn near everyone liked him. So, of course Bucky liked him too… even if he hadn’t particularly wanted to.

Or: Bucky had a crush on Sam in high school. Ten years later and he still maybe (definitely) has a crush. All he needs is a push from Becca...

Hey! Sorry to bother you but I just got into the fandom recently and I'm having the time of my life here ajshdhjdhjf. Anyway, do you have any angsty corrupted Chuuya ficc?

Hello!! ^ - ^

Here are some corruption fics I really love, hope y’all enjoy!

Have a magical day!!

-f

Corruption by SapphireDragon2708: He was dying. Of course, Chuuya knew, it wasn’t that surprising. After all, life as a Port Mafia executive wasn’t exactly the safest. With the added threat of the Armed Detective Agency and the Guild, it was touch and go for a while. But this... this was different.

Shut up, kiss me, hold me tight by run_mello: “If it’s so hard for you to tell me you’re sorry, then you should just show me. Prove it,” Chuuya said. Dazai beamed with triumph, eyes turning into tiny slits, “How so?”He was waiting for the magic words. For permission. Chuuya was all too happy to grant it. “Make it up to me.” OR: Chuuya uses corruption because he trusts Dazai, so when he wakes up alone and chilled to the bone, in a dark, and unforgiving forest, he is rather unimpressed with his ex-partner.Dazai wants to apologize, and when he promises to make it up to Chuuya, Chuuya accepts the offer.

Even The Corrupted Can Love by Taintedazure: Dazai loves messing with Chuuya whenever he calls but this time something was different. Can Dazai save Chuuya in time.

This Isn't Giving Up, No This Is Letting Go by Erica45: “—and it’s—what’s that sound?” Kunikida asks, breaking off to shoot him a puzzled frown. Dazai barely hears him, a ringing in his ears that he knows has nothing to do with the alarm coming from his phone. It blares with three short, sharp barks then an odd growl, deep and primal sounding. He knows instantly what it means, having picked it specifically for one thing only. The thought of actually having to hear it never really sank into his mind, only putting it there as a precaution. Now, it chills him to the bone. “No,” he whispers through numb lips. “He wouldn’t…”or: Chuuya uses Corruption without Dazai there to stop him.

On Deathless Feet by AbsoluteNegation: Living with Arahabaki is a delicate balance, but now someone's put a thumb on the scale. There's only one way to restore equilibrium, and only one person who can hold Chuuya safe through it.

@heatherica45 and I are back with some more soulmate fun! This is the first part to the series Written in Color, which is based off our story Written in Blue where it’s taboo to have multiple soulmarks and Peter has seven--six platonics and one romantic.

Peter was sitting on one of the benches outside the compound, his hands cupped in his lap, a small pile of birdseed held between his palms. Small birds, Chickadees, Starlings, and others hopped all over him, pecking at the seeds in his hands.

Tony had caught him sitting out there before feeding the birds and never let him live it down, calling him a Disney Princess. Peter took the teasing in stride, grumbling but not denying it either. Small animals had always loved him. He was always feeding the pigeons when he was on patrol.

A cool breeze rustled the leaves. It wasn’t the best weather, but it was still nice. The sky was overcast, the temperatures just starting to get chilly enough to need a sweatshirt. It was still comfortable, though.

He liked being at the compound. It gave him a place to relax and unwind. He didn’t need to worry about people bothering him there or hiding who he was. Tony, Happy, Pepper—they all accepted him for who he was, no matter the number of soulmarks. It was something he didn’t think he’d ever have. He even would go a couple of days not needing to wear any excesses clothes, not having to hide around them.

A small movement by the end of the bench caught his eye, and he looked over. A chipmunk had gained enough courage to clammer up beside him, sitting with its paws curled at its chest. The corners of Peter’s mouth lifted at the curious expression the chipmunk was giving him. He was about to extend his hand to the little guy when he felt the slight prickling of his senses. He looked around, not seeing anything unusual, but then he heard it. A low hum, barely audible to even him, pulsing through the air. It sounded similar to a quinjet.

Gently, he shifted and poured the seed onto the bench beside him, causing the birds to scatter and the chipmunk to scurry away back into the grass.

“Sorry, little ones,” he murmured as they took off.

He kept an eye on the sky as he made his way to the back of the compound where the landing pad was. If a plane was coming, they'd be heading there. Part of him knew he should head inside, but his curiosity got the better of him, and he soon found himself hiding in the trees overlooking the landing pad.

The hum grew louder and a plane—no, a jet—appeared, hovering over the landing pad before touching down. It was sleek and black, not much different than one of the quinjets. Peter chewed his lip, hands gripping the bark of the tree in front of him. The jet powered down and the back opened, creating a ramp. He watched the opening, curious who would appear.

He was shocked by who he saw. It wasn't a government official like he'd thought it might be. No, it was someone much more surprising, someone Peter wasn't entirely sure how to feel about. A bearded Steve Rogers, Captain America, stepped forward, dressed in his uniform, looking just as intimidating as ever.

Peter kept watching, curious if he was alone. He wasn’t. Something shifted in the shadows behind the Captain, and the man looked over his shoulder. He said something but he was too far away to make it out. A moment later, Natasha Romanov appeared at the Steve’s side. She was dressed like she was on a mission and Peter's mind whirled with possibilities.

He hesitated, thinking over his options before deciding on a plan. He didn’t know why they were there, but he didn’t fully trust them—not with the people he cared about, especially the ones that he shared marks with. He didn’t want to believe they’d hurt Tony, but it was a chance he didn’t want to take. He knew some bad things had happened between Steve and his mentor. He just didn’t know what.

Pushing himself from the tree, he walked out of the woods, trying for casual, but knowing he failed. He knew his steps were too calculated and posture too rigid. He couldn’t seem to relax. He barely made it a foot from the treeline before Steve and Natasha turned to him, both straightening their shoulders and narrowing their eyes.

He tried to will his body to relax, attempting to ease a smile onto his face, but it was a losing battle. He knew his nerves were showing. Taking a steadying breath, he continued walking toward the pair.

Natasha’s eyes found his and she tilted her head slightly as she studied him. Her stance eased, seeming to have seen something in her assessment. Not looking away from Peter, she whispered something to Steve. The man nodded slowly and raised his chin, looking Peter over as he came closer.

Once he was nearly there, he plastered on his best smile and met Steve’s gaze. “Oh my god, are you Captain America?”

Steve eyed him warily as he came to a stop a few paces from the heroes. He glanced at his partner and cleared his throat. “That depends—who are you?”

Peter grinned, playing up the friendly vibe, hoping to get information. “Peter Parker, I’m one of the interns. What are you doing here?”

Natasha cocked her head to the side. “What’s an intern doing here?” she shot back. “Why aren’t you at the Stark Industries building?”

Peter slid his hands into his pockets, fingering the pieces to the web shooters he’d forgotten to leave in the lab. “Tony’s here—I’m his personal intern."

Steve nodded slowly, like that made sense to him, but Natasha placed her hands on her hips. Peter couldn't help noticing how her fingers brushed over the handles of the knives there. “Why are you here today? I thought he took it off.”

Peter paused, dragging his eyes away from the knives and to her face. “He did?” His nose scrunched in confusion. “But we always work Fridays.”

Natasha raked her gaze over him, pausing on May’s mark before exchanging a look with Steve. They shared a silent conversation, ending in mutual nods. Feeling exposed, Peter tugged his sleeve down to cover the chain of lilies, earning a curious look from the assassin. Steve seemed to notice Peter hiding the mark as well, his eyes falling to his wrist.

Straightening his shoulders, he lifted his chin, trying to project the strength he wasn’t sure he had. Anytime people looked at his marks, it bothered him—even if there was no way they could tell how many he had. It always set him on the defensive.

Steve frowned at the shift in Peter's body language. "Well, I think we should get on our way. Tony's expecting us."

"I'll go with you," Peter offered. "I'm his intern, after all."

Natasha eyed him. "No offense, kid, but this is above your pay grade."

Peter frowned, about to rebuttal, but before he could undoubtedly talk himself into a corner, Tony's voice shouted across the lawn, making them all look toward the doors. "You’re early."

Steve drew himself up. “We agreed on today at noon.” He paused to look at his watch. “We’re actually ten mintues late.”

Tony scrunched his face. “Huh, must have gotten distracted. I thought it was only ten.” He jogged over to them, stopping beside Peter and putting a hand on his shoulder. “You should head inside, kiddo.”

“But I can—”

Tony shook his head. "Nope, zip it. Do what I say."

Peter scowled, not liking the order but paused to observe him a little closer. He could see his mentor’s jaw twitching, showing his agitation. Whatever was going on, it had him on edge.

Tony jerked his chin head toward the building when Peter didn’t move. "I'm not playing, Peter. Inside and in your room. I'm sure you’ve got some homework you could do."

Sighing, Peter glanced at the confused expressions of Steve and Natasha before heading inside.

"Just an intern?" Natasha asked, cocking her head to the side. "Seemed like a little more than that."

Tony stiffened. "No idea what you're talking about."

She hummed. "Maybe not, but I've seen that look before. You were worried about him. Makes me think he's someone important to you." She paused, pursing her lips. "Like a soulmate."

"Sorry only have two—Pepper and Rhodey," Tony replied. "Now, we ready to take this inside?"

She studied him for a moment longer. "Interesting."

Peter sat slouched in his office chair, tapping his fingers on his desk. The clutter spread out over the surface rattled, making him notice that he was putting more force into his ministrations then was necessary. He pulled his hands away and ran them through his hair, making his chair squeak as he leaned back. He'd done as Tony had asked and gone to his room, but that didn't stop him from worrying why Steve and Natasha were there.

The last time he'd seen Steve was in Germany. He really didn't think the guy was bad. In fact, he was the furthest thing from it. He wasn’t like Peter with multiple marks. It was in all the history books. Steve only had one soulmate—a platonic that matched his best friend Bucky. He couldn’t help but be a little jealous of how easy it must have been for him growing up.

An hour past and Peter was beginning to go stir crazy. He was spinning idly in his chair, occasionally pushing off the desk to start his momentum again. He respected Tony and his rules, but he hated feeling confined. He needed to do something.

Still spinning lazily, Peter called out, "Friday, where's Mr. Stark?"

"I'm afraid I can't answer that, but if you’d like, I can pass along a message."

Slowing to a stop, Peter groaned and shook his head. "Don't bother him."

His stomach took that moment to rumble. Realizing he hadn't eaten since breakfast, he decided it wouldn’t really be breaking the rules if he went to find something to eat, especially since Tony was always telling him to take better care of himself.

Decision made, he headed out of the room and toward the kitchen.

There didn't seem to be anyone around, the whole floor was quiet. The lights to the kitchen brightened automatically as he approached.

He wasn't a great cook, so he decided to stick with something light—a sandwich would do. Opening the fridge, he began pulling out what he needed, pausing to eye the random glitter pen and glue stick someone had left in the produce drawer. He swore he could feel his brain twitch.

Nudging the fridge door shut with his foot, he turned and dropped his supplies on the counter in a heap. He was to getting out a few slices of bread when he heard someone speak behind him, making him jump, causing him to send the bread flying into the air.

"This part of your internship?" a smooth voice said.

Spinning around, he saw Natasha smirking at him. Her arms were crossed over her chest, weight shifted to one hip.

Peter bent down and grabbed the bread from the floor. "Uh … no? Maybe? I don't know?"

He almost thought he saw a hint of a smile before her cool mask of indifference returned.

She tipped her head to the bread in his hands. "You should probably throw that out."

He nodded, tossing it into the bin. "I thought you had a meeting with Mr. Stark—not that it's my business."

She shrugged a shoulder and shifted her stance, moving to lean against the counter. "What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Steve will keep him busy for awhile."

Peter raised a brow at her. “That sounds vaguely threatening. Were you going for threatening?”

She tilted her head to the side, the corners of her mouth curling upward. “You’re perceptive.”

“So, um”—Peter fidgeted, tapping the butter knife on the counter—“are you hungry? There's enough here if you want a sandwich, too.”

Natasha’s expression softened. “I'm good. I was actually here for something else,” she told him, moving past him and pulling open a drawer.

Reaching inside, she stretched her arm to the back, pausing for a moment before something clicked. The sound of wood moving against wood made him frown. He had no idea what she was doing. It all became clear though when he saw what she pulled out.

“Dude—you have a secret stash of chocolate?”

She nodded, sliding the panel back into place. In her hand was a bag of Lindt chocolate truffles. She dug one out and unwrapped it, taking a small bite.

She narrowed her eyes as she chewed. “Not a word—understood?”

Peter nodded quickly a few times. "Yeah, yeah, sure," he agreed. "Didn't see a thing. Totally forgot. What were we talking about again?"

He was surprised when Natasha laughed. It wasn't fake or forced. It sounded genuine.

"I like you." She popped the last of the truffle in her mouth, studying him for a moment as she chewed. "Stark must really like you, too."

His brows pulled together. "What do you mean?"

She shrugged again, tossing the wrapper in the trash. "Something he said, or should I say, didn’t. He lied to me today—not many people are willing to do that."

Peter frowned. “Is that strange? He lies about stuff all the time.”

“True,” she admitted, “but not like this.” Studying him, she twisted another truffle free of the wrapper and offered it to him.

Peter stared at it for a second before reaching out to take it. He felt her eyes on him as he took a bite.

“Good?” she asked.

He chewed and swallowed. “Yeah, thanks.”

Nodding with satisfaction, she continued, “I think you're more than just an intern to him. I know Tony has three marks.” She informed him. “It was never officially announced, Howard made sure to keep it quiet, but rumors spread. The number of his soul marks got him a lot of bad press and helped earn him his nickname—The Merchant of Death."

She paused and tilted her head as she observed him. “You see, Pepper confirmed the number to me once, I know he has three, but he lied today when I confronted him—said he only had two. He didn't like it when I suggested that you were his last one."

Even though he knew Tony meant nothing by it, he still felt a little hurt that Tony had pretended not to be connected to him. The rejection stung—real or imagined.

It must have shown on his face because Natasha straighten, brows pulling together. "So I was right. You're one of his."

"What? No. I didn't say that." Peter was quick to respond.

Her lips pressed together in a line. "You didn't need to. It's written all over your face."

Peter swallowed. "Uh, maybe I should get back to my room."

"You're a multiple, at least three."

Her statement was so sure, so confident that it made him freeze, panic weaving through him, cutting off his breath. There was no way he was going to convince her otherwise. She was the Black Widow. No one kept secrets from her.

He stumbled back, falling into a defensive stance, his palms sweaty and his heart hammering against his ribcage.

Natasha's face softened considerably, showing no trace of any anger or disgust. “It's alright,” she said quietly. “I'm not going to hurt you. I would never hurt anyone because of how many soulmarks they have.”

Peter stared at her, unblinking. His instincts screamed for him to run.

Her mouth twitched, so slight it was barely visible. He doubted a normal human would have caught it.

“Are the others still alive?” she asked.

“What?” Peter croaked, completely caught off guard.

Natasha hummed, rubbing a thumb over the back of her left hand, drawing his gaze. A faded, scarred over mark marred the skin there. It was so old that the previous image was unrecognizable. “From my experience, people who are multiples lose their mates quickly. You’re still young, but I can tell by your eyes that some have already fallen.”

He felt himself slipping away. A gunshot and the sound of something falling echoed through Peter's mind, the smell of blood, the sticky texture of it on his hands as he held his uncle. His long cold mark burned like ice.

Pulling a stubborn breath, he pushed the feeling down and locked it away. “What are you saying?” he asked, blinking, still caught on the shock of her words. “What do you mean, from your experience?”

The question was redundant. He knew what she was getting at. He recognized the look she was wearing. He saw it reflected back at him every day in the mirror.

She pulled out another chocolate and started to twist the wrapper around it, her expression conveying in a few simple lines all he needed to know—she saw right through him.

“I have six,” she informed him bluntly, “but it doesn't matter the amount, not really. Anything above three is monster territory, regardless of intent. I know what you've gone through, and I know that you don't deserve it.”

Peter’s breath caught in his throat, and he stared at her, gaping, as she bit into the truffle. Stepping forward, she reached out toward him. Peter reacted blindly and brought his palm up to stop her, but before he managed to hit her though, she cupped his cheek. Her thumb rubbed over his cheekbone. She looked at him, her green eyes full of nothing but sympathy and sorrow.

“I won't tell anyone." Her voice was soft, forgiving. “Tony would only lie if he was protecting someone important—someone he cared about. I won't go between that.”

Drawing back, she walked passed him and disappeared down the hall. Peter watched her go, his sandwich forgotten.

other bsd fic recs here personal favorites are starred, by the way. everything is complete unless stated otherwise.

dazai osamu / nakahara chuuya (soukoku) fanfic recs

This Isn't Giving Up, No This Is Letting Go by Erica45 (~6k)

[“—and it’s—what’s that sound?” Kunikida asks, breaking off to shoot him a puzzled frown.

Dazai barely hears him, a ringing in his ears that he knows has nothing to do with the alarm coming from his phone. It blares with three short, sharp barks then an odd growl, deep and primal sounding. He knows instantly what it means, having picked it specifically for one thing only. The thought of actually having to hear it never really sank into his mind, only putting it there as a precaution.

Now, it chills him to the bone.

“No,” he whispers through numb lips. “He wouldn’t…”]

or: Chuuya uses Corruption without Dazai there to stop him.

i read this a while ago (and i’ve read so many like this) that i don’t remember exactly what happens in this one. it isn’t tagged as mcd, in case if you’re worried about that.

The Waiting Years by muri_n_ai (~4k)

[“The only way to wake him up is for him to receive true love’s kiss.” “What?”]

In which Osamu Dazai is put to sleep by poison and it’s up to the Agency to figure out who his true love is.

Or Dazai is Snow White and where the hell is his petite mafia prince charming?

this one is pretty lighthearted.

*Release by afinepricklypear (~8k)

After countless days (months?) fighting against hundreds of fictional murderers in Poe’s book and using the time alone to reflect, Chuuya is released.

(Alt: How Chuuya got out of the book Ranpo trapped him in towards the end of Season 3)

*My Hands are Small but They are My Own by ultramarcypan (~6k)

A person's hands don't lie. A person's hands can tell their life story, if one looks closely enough.

Dazai is willing to look.

skk communicates through sign language.

*Fight or Flight by noodlephobia (orphan_account) (~1.5k)

Chuuya has always been a matchstick. Used once, then thrown away. He was in the habit of it already at this point.

Though when Dazai came, he wasn't treated like that anymore. He was kept nice, dry, and pristine.

But little did he know, Dazai would be the one to burn him to death.

cw for cheating.

Irondad & Spiderson Rec List #3

Part 1

Part 2

Part 4

Part 5 here

NO STARKER

If You Can't Catch A Breath (You Can Take The Oxygen Straight Out Of My Own Chest) by losingmymindtonight - "And I would hurry. Little Peter is about to be under quite a lot of pressure, and it might get a little hard to breathe.”

The Primary Reason Tony Stark Would Throw Down With an Anti-Vaxxer in the Street by caraminha - I’d love to see an angst fic where Peter has bad tetanus and Tony and co are looking after him whilst his symptoms get worse and worse.

It Wasn't You by losingmymindtonight - They grab Peter right out from under Tony’s nose.

For Want of a Dad (in need of a son) by GhostInTheBAU - Peter longs to have a deeper relationship with his mentor, a more meaningful connection; but he's managed to convince himself that the only reason Tony Stark spends any time with him at all is purely because of his enhancement. Because of Spider-Man.

the rattle of their hearts by iron_spider - Tony deals with the aftermath of Infinity War. He needs to get things back to normal. And Peter is an essential part of normal.

Exploding head syndrome by foolscapper - Everyone comes back, when the snap is undone. Or, well — almost everyone.

i can't seem to get a grip, no matter how i live with it by psikeval - Tony knows he's got no business being a father.

Everything, All At Once by ironfamjam - Everyone has a soul-mate and when you fall asleep, you get to meet in your dreams. But there's a catch. When you wake up, you can't remember a single thing. Tony and Peter find each other again and again in a world made of dreams and memories and it doesn't matter that Tony loves him more than he's ever loved anything at all. No matter how hard he tries, when it truly matters, he doesn't know Peter exists at all.

all tendons and ribcage and beating heart by madasthesea - Tony remembers exactly what it’s like to be recently orphaned: grief stricken and touch-starved and aching with loneliness.

A Tremendous Thing by ExpectoPatronum - Peter spends Father's Day at the lake house. He tries not to overthink it.

Doom and Gloom by notapartytrick - On Titan, Peter makes a choice that changes the cards for good. Things could have been different - here's what might have happened.

Domestic Life Was Never Quite My Style by mainstreamelectricalparade - ..."Mary Fitzpatrick from our research department in New York is outside. She says she needs to talk to you.” That didn't sound like something Tony couldn't pass off. “And?” “She's pregnant.”

i'll find you in the drift by tempestaurora - When aliens came to Earth, they came out of the ocean, not the skies. To combat them, humans created jaegers: monstrous robots so massive they needed two pilots to control them. Ten years into the war, Rhodey is knocked out of commission, and the Iron Avenger jaeger is in need of a new pilot. Tony isn't particularly happy about Peter Parker, a sixteen year old, joining the fight by his side, but sometimes you aren't given a choice in these things.

butternut squash by iron_spider - “Boss, Peter Parker’s heart has stopped.” Tony spits out his coffee. “What? Friday? Repeat?”

Coated in Ash by emavee - Rhodey pushed himself back away from Tony’s body, feeling sick to his stomach. He’d been so focused on monitoring his friend’s shallow breathing, noting the lack of color in his cheeks and lips; he’d missed the worst part. Ash. He knew that ash.

oh, darling. By luna_e_stelle - Peter is taken, and he tries to find his way back home.

every new beginning (comes from some other beginning's end) by blondsak, and seekrest - Everything is becoming increasingly bleary, until all he can see when he opens his eyes are tiny puffs of air right in front of his nose. It must be cold where he is, Peter thinks as his eyelids droop again. That’s funny-- he doesn’t feel very cold.

Written in Blue by Erica45, and snarkymuch - Society had come a long way with how they viewed soulmarks, both platonic and romantic, but the stigma from the past still remained. People clung to the old belief that the more marks you had, the more fractured your soul actually was. People with multiples were thought to be marked by the devil. The greatest of the world's evils had been done by people who carried less than five. Peter had seven and he didn't know what that meant for him. Will he be able to overcome his fears and begin to let people in?

Hindsight by elephreak - Hindsight can be a real bitch sometimes. OR The one where Peter is being abused in the worst way

Do you know of any good time travel fics?

Weak Spot by grilledcheesing

Peter Parker has been sent back in time hundreds of times after their last face off with Thanos to do the one thing nobody else can: save Tony Stark.

Unfortunately, he has to find a way to kill his past self to do it.

And the last thing Tony is going to do is let him.

Time to Pretend By Rowan_M

A villain attacking New York sends an injured Peter back in time to the year 2000. Not knowing how to get home, Peter asks Tony Stark for help and ends up finding out a lot about his and Tony's past.Peter is given an opportunity to change the future, or leave things be.

Long Time Coming by Erica45

Peter didn't know what would happen when he put on the gauntlet--staring the Mad Titan down.

certainly not this.

or: Peter was the one that used the Gauntlet and the effects were world changing. Now, Peter is a immortal, the Guardian of the Stones--keeping them safe through the passage of time, starting from the beginning.

He was there when the planets started to form, and watched as civilizations grew. He got use to his new task, keeping a eye on the stones as they influenced the world around them. He had part of the stones with him, this was true--and he had long since master the use of them.

However, the stones still needed to be out in the cosmos so he was more connected to the spirit of them, and it marked him. Now, he knew when the a wielder of a Stone threatened to unbalance everything and would take it away.

He lived like this for millennia, unchanged--until the year of 2010 on planet Earth.

Whatever it Takes by StarryKnight09

Peter’s struggling to cope after the loss of Mr. Stark. Everyone keeps telling him it’ll get better and that he needs to move on, but Peter doesn’t want to. He can’t envision a life without his mentor. So when an idea comes to him, he doesn’t hesitate, no matter how crazy it is. He’s going to get Mr. Stark back.

“What exactly are we going to do?” Ned asked.“Whatever it takes.” Peter answered.

In all the ways in which we won by jbsforever

Four months after Tony's funeral, Peter comes home to find a mysterious box on his desk. The universe, it seems, is done waiting for him to move on.

It gives him another option instead.

This one made me very aapekennenrnwbebrnrnebwnwnamme yknow

This was a wonderful way to spend a sick day!

'Those Unseen (Death Speaker)' by Erica45

Author: @scottish-purple-shrubbery

Shifting slightly, Tim cocked his head, birdlike, towards the other figure in the alley. "It's done. The trial was yesterday; he won't be hurting anyone else."

The woman released a shaky sigh, one filled with relief. "Thank you, Red."

A gentle smile crossed his lips. "You're welcome. Are you going to rest?"

She tilted her head skywards, exposing the dark purple ring on her skin that was a demented necklace. Perhaps she was searching for the stars long lost to this particular city.

"I think I might be able to now," she admitted with a chuckle and a little smile. Looking back down at him, it stretched into something half apologetic and half satisfied. "Take care of yourself, Red Robin."

The vigilante nodded in acknowledgement. He watched as her thin form flickered with a bright light before winking out.

He was alone in the alley, standing next to a divot in the pavement. In his mind's eye, he could clearly see the body that had once been left there. It was long gone, and finally, so was the woman's spirit. After months of being stuck, she could move on.

RAB fics I read 14-20 March

the salt and the sea by WizardGod I'm not usually one to read "James Potter' little sister this and that" fics, but boyyy am I glad I gave this one a chance. It's their NEWT year and Theresa (Teddy) Potter is paired up with Regulus Black for Prefect Patrols. The disinterest/disdain they feel for each other is whacked all out of balance when they fuck against a wall. Evan ships it :D

Best Friend's Brother by zeppazariel this is!!!!!!!! fantastic!!!!!! I know I've been reading a lot of Jegulus/Wolfstar identity porn lately but this one *chef kiss* stands out. Regulus and Sirius didn't talk or see each other since Sirius run away from home, and Regulus run away at 18. Regulus and Remus are coworkers at a café. Regulus starts dating James, not knowing that James is his beloathed brother's best friend. Remus starts dating Sirius (and he doesn't even know Regulus HAS a brother until later). Eventually Remus and James realise that their boyfriends are the infamous hated brothers and they're kinda in deep shit: because Black Brothers are petty, bad bitches that should not be fucked with. Mind the tags for hardcore past child abuse and other trigger warnings.

a shrike (to your sharp and glorious thorn) by nyxveuss the author announced they were rewriting this glorious story, so I re-read the whole thing for my pleasure. I'm sad to see it go but eager to see nyx's new vision of the "Regulus dies and is yeeted to his fifth year"

Dripping With Sin by ScreamingFae I! Bartender!Regulus catches Vampire!Barty's eye who simply must make him his. Doesn't matter Regulus is already dating Guitarist!James.

Silent Screams by Izumi284 semi-dead Regulus gets tossed to OotP! Also who's the white and gold cat? O.O

I see you in the stars by Bibliosmia0 James is having nightmares about Regulus drowning which makes him approach the younger Slytherin... and I mean ofc he accidentally falls in love with Regulus. Feat a really good friend Remus!

Finders Keepers by jeggie_toast a slowburn Jegulus that starts when Regulus signs up for the Quidditch team, just checked the tags and it's canon COMPLIANT :( as I said, slow burn, and pretty long, I'm currently about 1/5 way through :D

Follow In Her Paw Prints by Erica45 Regulus gets offered a helping paw... hand... from Mcgonagall :D AKA Regulus gets adopted! And fuck Dumbledore! All my homies hate Dumbledore! I hope he gets stabbed honestly

when you were mine by battlehamster our most beloved "secret high school sweetheart turned single parent and a criminal on house arrest" AU Regulus and baby Harry are SO CUTE I'm gonna die

Drugs and surgical scrubs by anauro another most beloved! Doctor!Regulus and addicts!Marauders! Slowburn Jegulus! Black Brothers drama! Battling one's demons! Platonic Bartylus subplot that makes me smile! And much more on Drugs and surgical scrubs~

My Own Private Blackpool by LadyVisenya an OC from Percy's year makes friends with a deeply traumatised man who lives in a villa in her town... turns out his name is Regulus Black. When Harry Potter claims Voldemort is back, these two set of Horcrux hunting! And accidentally fall in love but it's super slowburn and pretty organic and doesn't give me creepies despite the age difference.

The Horcrux Hunt by Keysie I can't believe there's only two chapters left of this beauty ugh. Regulus comes to the conclusion Voldy is a little bitch, goes to Dumbledore, Dumbledore hooks him up with Remus to do some Horcrux hunting; Remus wants to date Sirius but Sirius is a dummy with attachment issues; Remus and Regulus develop a friendship only two men who almost died together numerous times can develop. Their combined snark makes Dumbledore want to retire :D In short, Voldy's going d o w n ♥

As The World Caves In by reylo_is_canon Hermione/Theo Nott time travel with Regulus as the head cockblock :D

Professor Black by FaithlessBex Regulus teaches History of Magic, yay. (Quick thought, did anyone think of Astronomy!Professor Regulus? I think it'd be very sexy of him.)

Born to Run, Break the Mold by agentofreedom Regulus goes to cave and survives and ends up on Sirius' couch, time to fuck some shit right up :D

glimpses of heaven by lunahunt !!!!!! So good!!!!! After the Prank, James is all off his groove. Euphemia signs him up for a Quidditch course with Wronski, the Seeker who invented the Wronski's faint. But guess who else got enrolled in the course! Yep, you guessed right, Regulus Black! Them boys gonna be seeing each other once a week for the rest of the summer :D

Harry just can’t wait to be a big brother by anauro for battlehamster what it says on the tin! super cute dometic Jegulus ♥

Lion's Roar by Seralyn semi-dead Regulus to OotP

and we're gone by blackkat the night Sirius run away

Black Madness by LimeOfMagicLimo Regulus is Tired and when Walburga hexes Kreacher over a minor mistake, he snaps and kills her. And then he becomes and alcoholic and kills Voldemort too.

---

Strike a Pose by Anonymous okay so this is Ron Weasley/Draco Malfoy PWP but it's??? so good??? and the first time I read this pairing so I'm just going to leave it here as a treat for ppl who want to broaden their horizonts

#regulus black #fic rec
