fault lines by adhoori | teen & up 
He can feel his eyes sting, feel his body bow under the weight of his mind and he’s beyond exhausted, filled with a bone-deep weariness that he doesn’t think will ever let go of him. “I’m not doing so well,” he says, biting his lip in an effort to get through this, to at least try and explain that it’s not that he doesn’t want to—he wishes he could go back to the way things were, he does—but that he just can’t. 
Part 3 of I built a home (for you, for me)

Chapters: 12/12 Fandom: Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers Characters: Steve Rogers, James "Bucky" Barnes, Sam Wilson (Marvel), Natasha Romanov (Marvel), Maria Hill, Helen Cho (Marvel), Wanda Maximoff, Rebecca Barnes Proctor Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - No Powers, Pre-Serum Steve Rogers, Artist Steve Rogers, Mailman Bucky Barnes, Childhood Friends, Marriage of Convenience, Fake Marriage, Hurt/Comfort, Sickfic, Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, Emotionally Significant Treehouse, return to hometown, Hospitalization, Illnesses, Angst with a Happy Ending, Mutual Pining, wow so much pining honestly Summary:
“I’m um—your mailman,” Bucky says, lamely. He mentally kicks himself. He’d—sort of—practiced this! I’m your old pal Bucky, good to see you again!
The corner of Steve’s mouth quirks up as he glances down at the envelope on top, absently, then back up at Bucky, eyes crinkling.
“I had a suspicion that might be the case, Bucky Barnes.”
Bucky lets out a surprised breath in a rush. “Oh! You—you remember me?”
Steve’s half-smile turns into a real one and he tilts his head at Bucky. “Of course I remember you Buck. Wasn’t sure you recognized me though—it’s been a long time.”
***
Or—Steve and Bucky revive an old friendship, get married (but totally just as friends, for reasons), and navigate a few of the many trials of the heart that come with falling in love with your best friend.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers Characters: James "Bucky" Barnes, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanov (Marvel) Additional Tags: Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Idiots in Love, soft and sweet Series: Part 1 of 32 Ways To Say I Love You Summary:
Bucky had shaken his head and shyly glanced over at Steve when Tony asked if Bucky wanted his own floor at the Tower, or his own apartment, anything. “Oh,” Tony had said, and then “ohh,” and a funny look had crossed his face before he’d smiled and reached out like he was going to clap Bucky on the shoulder before he thought better of it and pulled his arm back. He’d rubbed his hands together instead, looking delighted, and said, “I’ll make sure you have a key and access codes and will update JARVIS so you have full access to Steve’s floor.”
Warmth had bloomed in Steve’s stomach, a bubble of hope rising up into his chest as he’d chanced a glance over at Bucky. They’d lived together and loved each other before the war, but that was before, and so much had happened since, and they hadn’t really talked about it because Steve didn’t know what Bucky remembered, and he didn’t want to pressure him, but God, what if he still...what if he…
Steve looked back at Bucky, whose face was unreadable, and Steve realized he’d been silent too long, so he smiled and said, “I’d like that, Buck.” Bucky had nodded and relaxed his shoulders, and he’d moved in later that day.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Captain America (Movies) Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers Characters: James "Bucky" Barnes, Steve Rogers Additional Tags: Post-Captain America: The Winter Soldier, everything else isn't complaint, Don't Even Think About It, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Farm/Ranch, Established Relationship, Married Life, Married Couple, Non-Explicit Sex, Fluff Series: Part 1 of farm 'verse Summary:
The rain is falling down even harder now. Bucky huffs in annoyance and sinks down in his seat, crossing his arms and leaning more against Steve. Thunder rumbles in the distance, which causes Bucky to groan and Steve to laugh at his husbands distress.
“ ‘s not funny, jackass.” Bucky mumbles. He’s been waiting to get out to his garden all day, and when he finally had enough time to do it, it started pouring down rain. Even though it might technically be his own fault he got such a late start to tending his plants, he’s still got a right to be pissy about it.

Cadence
“Here’s a lullaby, little one,” Sarah says as she tucks Steve in up to his chin. It’s the same lullaby she always sings, something Gaelic and unknowable that always puts him to sleep.
Even though he knows his eyes should be closed, he sneaks a glance at Bucky on the other side of the bed. He’s sneaking a glance back at Steve and they both grin at each other for a second before shutting their eyes again.
His mom puts a hand on Steve’s forehead, a gentle and loving signal, telling him to go to bed.
And he does.
— —
There’s a night, years later, when Steve starts to think about his mother’s lullaby.
It’s years after Bucky Barnes moved to Indiana with his parents after a tearful goodbye.
It’s years after Sarah Rogers got sick one day, seemed to die the next.
It’s years after Steve packed away everything his mother ever touched and resolved to live a life without her.
But one night, years later, the lullaby gets stuck in his head.
It doesn’t leave for three months, try as he may. He fills his phone with music of every other genre, listens to rap on the subway, mariachi on his walk to work. He listens to quiet jazz as the rain falls outside of his office and heavy metal when he draws late into the night.
None of it works.
“I don’t know the words,” he tells Sam. “If I just knew the words.”
“Then look up the words,” Sam tells him, as if it’s so easy.
What he hopes will be easier is finding Bucky Barnes, the one other person who may know what he’s talking about. But he can’t find a trace of his old friend.
— —
Almost a year after the song began to haunt him, Wanda, the intern, takes pity on him.
“Come with me,” she tells him one day. She’s a student at Columbia University. Very smart. He likes working with her. He let his secret slip to her one night as he began humming the phantom tune of a song he doesn’t know the words to.
Still, he’s weary as she brings him to her Gaelic Mythology professor. “You will like him,” she promises. “He began about a year ago. Very bright. Everyone in class has a crush on him.”
He’s not sure that this will be any help at all, but the song plays louder and louder in his head and if something could just make it stop.
If someone could just make it stop.
So he agrees.
She brings him to an unassuming building and up to an unassuming wooden door. Before he has a chance to read the nametag, the door opens.
And there’s Bucky Barnes, years older. He’s wearing a worn sport coat with patches at the elbows, a pair of glasses slipped into their pocket, along with jeans. His dark hair shines. Steve swallows back tears.
“Steve?” Bucky asks. “Steve Rogers?”
Wanda says something that Steve can’t quite hear over the music in his head as he wraps his arms around Bucky. Bucky hugs him in turn, a hand in his hair. “I looked you up,” Steve says. “I couldn’t find anything.”
“I go by James professionally,” Bucky says and Steve can only laugh.
— —
Days later, they’re in bed together and Bucky sings him the lullaby for the first time in years.
“What does it mean?” Steve asks, head resting on Bucky’s bare chest.
“It’s about needing to come home. It’s about needing to rest. I think your mother wrote it. It’s not a song I’ve come across since.” He pauses. “It’s funny, though. I could always remember the lyrics…” He pauses to press a kiss to Steve’s hair. “But I never could remember the tune.”
Steve isn’t someone who believes in magic or folk tales, or even the stories told in songs from long ago. But when Bucky says that, when he looks up into Bucky’s eyes as he sings it for him again, its familiar cadence so warm and beloved in his honey voice, Steve maybe believes in just a little bit of magic.

Drop-Dead Gorgeous even stops by to check out his exhibit when Bucky’s finished with his presentation.

 (a silent prayer) Like Dreamers Do by chicklette Everyone has a soulmate. Everyone.

Their perfect record - a soulmate for everyone - was intact.

update: it wasn’t a stevebucky fic :)
Stucky fic help
i’ve been looking for this ao3 fic for a veryy long time and if anyone can help, that would be amazing!
‪it’s set in avengers tower. bucky tries to take off his metal arm with his bare hand and when steve finds him, he thinks bucky committed s*icide from all the blood in the bathroom and has to hold bucky’s arms under his legs and he asks jarvis for help. bucky also begs steve to take off the arm bc it hurts and he can’t stand it anymore. in other scenes, steve cooks bland food/old recipes bc bucky can’t handle spice / his stomach can’t handle food (steve encourages him to eat but he throws up after a meal in the beginning). bucky doesn’t talk or sleep very much at first either.
i’m not sure if this was in the same fic, but there might’ve been a kate character (not sure if she was supposed to be kate bishop) who was a barista at the coffee shop in the avengers tower and her boyfriend was a victim in some kind of nyc battle? she becomes bucky’s friend after sleepless nights

“How do we bridge this, Buck? Are we going to spend our time together pretending we don’t work for the people we work for? What, I just ignore Stark on the floor and you ignore Sam and we just never ask each other about work? When it’s what I care about most? At the end of the day, how could we come home to each other, if you don’t care about what’s important to me?”
He thinks: if you don’t really care about anything at all?

He steps carefully through the unmown grass, and finds a wet, dilapidated cardboard box at the back. Steve gently moves one of the flaps, and there, underneath, is a tiny, emaciated kitten. It’s sopping wet -- grey fur matted to its skin.
“Oh, you poor thing,” he says, scooping it up into one palm. It meows again, squeaky. Steve tucks it up under his chin, and immediately comes to a decision: this baby is coming with him.

The man blows out a breath. It's a surprisingly prosaic noise. "Let's start over," he decides. "I'm Bucky." He wraps Percy's leash around his left hand, leans down, and holds out his right. Steve takes it. It's warm and calloused, the skin a little rough. "Bucky Barnes." He tugs at Steve's hand and Steve lets himself be helped to his feet.
"Steve Rogers," Steve says. "What the fuck?"
Bucky laughs.
Steve has to make himself let go of Bucky's hand after what he hopes is a normal amount of time, not a creeper amount of time. Bucky's laugh is really nice. He thinks he'd like to hear it again. But first, there's the matter of the gryphon.
*****
In which Steve Rogers stumbles across the Barnes Exotic Animal Rescue for Magical Creatures, meets a witch named Bucky, accidentally adopts a unicorn, and never wants to leave.

Before he was Captain America, he was Steve Rogers, knobby kneed and wild-eyed, with scrapes on his knuckles and a book in his hands.
In 1942, he leaves for war and eventually crashes the Valkyrie.
That's only the beginning of his story.
In 2011, Steve's body is dragged from ice off the coast of Greenland.
In 2015, he meets a bookstore clerk.
This is what happens when a superhero loses his way home and the only way back is through the Yellow Book Road.
