Love Requited by relenafanel

Summary:

Full Title: Love Requited, Wei Ying is just bad at emotions)   “You sleep kissed me!” Wei Ying said, watching as Lan Zhan’s shoulders tightened. It wasn’t an accusation, but it wasn’t not an accusation either. Lan Zhan had said they’d talk about it. Wei Ying wanted to talk. (he didn’t. he was a coward.) “Yes,” Lan Zhan said. OR: drunk!Wei Ying climbs into his best friend's bed, teases best friend into kissing him, and gets more than he expected (a kiss and the inconvenience of trying to figure out his own feelings on the matter).

It's now on Ao3. From me with love.

The Manbun Afficionado | 1,652 | betts / @bettsfic

Summary: Steve doesn't even like pizza.

The Barnes Exotic Animal Rescue (for Magical Creatures) | 5,672 | Deisderium

Summary: 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.

Reading Time With Pickle | 6,682 | littleblackfox / @thelittleblackfox

Summary: “This is my book?” Steven holds up the scraps of paper. “This is my book!” Bucky’s mouth twists. “Yeah. Sorry about that.” While Steve struggles to think of anything else to say other than variants of ‘you tore up my book, you dick’, Bucky carries his jar of pickles over to the counter but doesn’t put it down, and unscrews the lid. “You want a pickle?” he asks, taking one out and biting the end. “No, I do not want a damn pickle,” Steve snaps. “You tore up my book.” You dick.

Apes Debemus Imitari (We Should Imitate the Bees) | 15,711 | buckysbees

Summary: Steve operates a fruit & veg stand at a farmer's market. Bucky keeps bees and has started up a honey shop just opposite. They're failing to get along. Steve gets along a lot better with the anonymous friend he's been writing letters to. In fact, he's rapidly falling for him.

Please see below for more recommendations!

Bait and Switch 'verse by galwednesday

3 Part Series | Rated G-T | Total Words: 5,797

Part 1 Summary: "Post-action tacos?” Tony suggested. “I’m thinking that place by Fordham. BattleBot, you in?” “Can’t,” the Soldier said, typing something into his phone. “I have a date.” Tony stopped talking for an entire three seconds. “You. Have a date.” The Soldier looked up and blinked, clearly nonplussed to find Sam and Tony both staring at him. “Yes.” “With who?” “My boyfriend.” “You have a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend?” Tony looked like he’d just walked into a lamppost, and then the lamppost had handed him a birthday present.

Coffee & A Library by thepinupchemist / @sergeantscarlett

2 Part Series | Rated T-E | Total Words: 10,984

Part 1 Summary: In the heart of a modern library, children's librarian Bucky Barnes meets his match in the form of the new barista: Steve Rogers. He doesn't think there's any way his crush could be requited -- but sometimes librarians don't know everything.

Slide to Answer by relenafanel / @relenafanel

3 Part Series | Rated T | Total Words: 13,064

Part 1 Summary: "What do I do?” Steve appealed into the phone. “I’m freaking out.” There was silence on the other end of the line. It lasted so long that Steve pulled the receiver away from his ear and frowned at it. Pay phones were old. Maybe this one wasn’t working despite the obvious dial tone when he picked up. “Ok,” a stranger’s voice said over the phone. “First acknowledge the fact that you dialed the wrong number, but be quick about it because my cab is a few blocks away from my own plans and I’m about to drop some truth bombs on you.”

endgame by wearing_tearing / @wearing-tearing & talkplaylove / @talkplaylove

3 Part Series | Rated T-E | Total Words: 19,132

Part 1 Summary: A notification from Check, Mate? blinks back at him. Steve’s heart speeds up when he opens the app and then his face breaks into a blinding grin when sees what’s waiting for him. James likes him back.

what's for dessert? by brideofquiet / @bride-ofquiet

6 Part Series | Rated T-E | Total Words: 34,196

Part 1 Summary: Now, Steve is no prude. In fact, he is very much the opposite of a prude, but that’s mostly behind closed doors or when it’ll earn him better tips. But he feels the blush rising on his cheeks anyway, because who really expects to pull a string of anal beads from the lost and found at their restaurant job on a Thursday morning? No one should ever expect that. That’d be fucking weird as hell to expect that.

Lovecraft in Brooklyn by littleblackfox / @thelittleblackfox

2 Part Series | Rated E | Total Words: 38,780

Part 1 Summary: Bucky shrugs. “My brothers wish me dead. But I have claimed this world as mine, and should any dare approach I will slaughter them, and their progeny.” “Oh,” Steve says weakly. “Well, it’s tough coming from a large family.”

WIP game RULES: Share the last line you wrote for your WIP and tag as many people as there are words. @obiwaned is a meanie who is forcing me to share the last thing I wrote even though this was months ago. Everyone tell her to stop please ;) Anyway, I don’t remember whether the last thing I wrote was for the obikin bingo or for the cancelled obikin exchange, so obikin bingo is what you‘re gonna get. And I’m also gonna cheat and give you more context for the line bc idc.

“I might’ve opened your message in the middle of negotiations”, Obi-Wan says reproachfully.

“But you didn’t. And if you did, I would seriously – ah – question your intelligence,” Anakin gasps against the machine’s onslaught on his prostate. “It might’ve contained sensitive information.”

“Darling, I rather think it does.” Obi-Wan’s tone is a touch gentler, now, but there’s an undercurrent of hunger and steel that has Anakin shuddering. “Don’t you think there are people who would care to know the secrets of the most decorated war hero of the Republic? Or do you think it’s not a secret, how desperate you are for someone to fuck you?”

and I guess I’ll tag....uhhh.... @greenbergsays aka @greenbergwrites? Maybe @relenafanel? I don’t know enough enough mutuals who still actively write anymore

[otp-holic]

hi !! ive been a fan for up to 1 to 2 years and up until now ive only been reading fics in their world yk, so i really want to try an au fic and i just wanted to ask if you have any suggestions ?

Hello there anon! I'm sorry it got me this long to answer this, but my presence in Tumblr this Summer is spotty at best.

I love AUs, A LOT, and I'm copy/pasting a post from a year ago because I don't have MUCH time:

Civilians, CDI by relenafanel: I just saw fanart for this and it’s also in my Calibre with comments. Part of The Steve Rogers’ Problem series. It’s a modern!Bucky/actor!Steve where they go from fuck-buddies to… STEVE AND BUCKY. I love all of the works on this. She’s one of my fav authors back to the Teen Wolf fandom.

My unedited notes on this: Fucking Amazing. Bucky FBI agent, Steve actor. Bucky is clueless about who Steve is at the beginning and it’s precious. Going from fuck-buddies to EVERYTHING. I love everything about this..

The Steve Rogers Problem series by relenafanel: In fact, read all these if you like AUs with great characterization, soft and fandom!Bucky.

My unedited notes on the first one of the saga: Classic AU of the great kind. Bucky is a fan of a Tv show called “The Howling commandos” starring… Steve, yeah He writes fanfic, draws… Pining, sexiness, childhood things. Perfection.

Easy Work For Easy Pay by AustinB: Another AU (i guess fluff does not come easily to canon, uh?). This one has Bucky, the agent, being assigned to reintroduce Steve, the unfrozen, into the XXI century. and they fall in love.

My unedited notes on this: Awesomecakes. The UST is to die for. TO DIE FOR. It gets a bit angstier later on, but still sot and fluffy.

Besides that, and @musette22 and @dreamsinthewitchouse both come to mind because they have amazing AUs that I LOVE (great writing there, and for all tastes, I'm partial to The FBI’s Most (Un)Wanted  by Kay and From Brooklyn, With Love  by Minnie), and I adore you're not my homeland anymore  and (the more recent) They Say You Shouldn’t Meet Your Heroes @between-a-ship-and-a-hard-place

And please read this Roman AU by @rillils

If you happen to read in Spanish, too, Diferente by @thewinterwelded is <3

I'm sorry I don't have lots of time to think, since I've read many many AUs.... but I hope this gets you started on this genre! <3

💋 and 🥰?

Off this post

Ugggh I have left this in my inbox for SO LONG because I...I don’t know?!  If it was about writing fic I’d have more of an answer--the first kiss in the snow in Strangest is a turning point--Billy takes a huge risk, and it changes everything.  I like the kissing in Hook Possum and See You On The Other Side because I had to figure out how to work it within the plot, with them unable to see each other, or unable to touch. 

As for things I READ, though, I...I don’t pay much attention to kissing?!  I don’t like doing it, and I don’t love most descriptions of it unless it focuses on the emotions/character stuff DX

If they aren’t my own fics (after all I wrote them just how I like XD) most of them are for fandoms I don’t write for, but I loooove Under My Wings You Will Find Refuge by Fiver, I’ve been dropping everything to read chapter updates for a decade.  It’s a Les Mis fic in the SUpernatural ‘verse so if you’re even vaguely familiar with Supernatural it can be read fine as OCs.  I reread several of objectlesson‘s TOS Trek fics, and the Stucky fic Slide To Answer by relenafanel will always make me laugh.  I go on wild tears and reread everything in my bookmarks periodically (particularly around the holidays, for some reason) but I haven’t in a couple months so these are the ones that stick out to me

<3 <3 <3 SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG

[swingsetindecember]

@relenafanel, for your fic writing pleasure 

#stucky #mistaken identities

[stuckylibrary]

Hello! I was wondering if you had any vigilante!Steve fics? Preferably if he's punk but if not it's ok!

Have a look at these!

Nomad, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by roe87 (complete | 10,147 | T)

James is a tailor who specialises in making suits for vigilantes completely off the books. He's been doing it a long time and he's very good at it.

Then a tall handsome blond shows up on his doorstep, asking James to make him a suit with the most impractical design: a floor to ceiling titty window.

(Or, Steve wakes up from the ice, Googles what thot means and decides his new superhero identity will be the living embodiment of thot from now on.)

~~ Bottom Bucky bingo fills: Shrunkyclunks, Age Diff, Russian Bucky, and Domino mask.

Part 4 of Shrunkyclunks au's

Strange Visitor (From Another Time) by Niitza (complete | 51,136 | E)

James Barnes, rising star reporter of the New York Bulletin, has a plan. One, find out all there is to know about New York's newest vigilante Nomad, starting with his true identity. Two, write a masterful piece about it. Three, win a Pulitzer and become the envy of all his peers. Four, enjoy.

Or, you know, something like that.

One thing's for certain, though: he sure as hell isn't going to let that fucking asshole newbie Grant O'Connor steal his spotlight.

-

Or: the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman AU no one asked for.

Pedantic Affectations by fannishlove, relenafanel (complete | 15,858 | M)

Steve Rogers: khaki pants and ugly tweed wearing art history professor specializing in historical queer art (by day). Is actually Captain America, vigilante and the bane of Detective Barnes’s existence (by night).

Detective Bucky Barnes: A very clever cop who suspects something is up with Steve. Is frustrated that Captain America exists and is dedicated to finding him because he loves a good puzzle.

So, how does Steve convince Bucky that he's too boring to be Captain America? Go on a date with him.

(Steve is kind of really, really bad at this secret identity thing)

helpless (i'm helpless)* by princessoftheworlds (complete | 28,748 | T) *chose not to warn

The Sokovian Accords were created right after the Battle of New York. It's 2017, and the Avengers are stuck under the UN's thumb. Captain Steve Rogers is mostly retired and doesn't protest when Tony drags him out to a movie premiere. Out on the red carpet, he bumps into Oscar-nominated actor James Barnes and falls so hard that Tumblr and Twitter won't stop shipping them.

It's 2017, and the Winter Soldier can't stand idly by while his city falls into ruins from the rampant crime, the Avengers made practically useless. He just doesn't expect to run into Nomad in a back alley.

Or, a two-dimensional love story told in three parts.

Part 1 of helpless

Head Full of Ghosts* by Portrait_of_a_Fool (complete | 93,810 | E) *graphic violence

After Project Insight, Bucky was in the gutter, but he used his talents to drag himself out again. Now he is a new man with a dirty job that he excels at and apartment across the street from Steve’s. He also has a head full of ghosts that haunt him every step of the way.

Steve hasn’t stopped searching for Bucky, but it’s like he fell off the face of the earth. As the months creep by, Steve can’t stop himself from sinking into depression. He deals with his sadness the only way he knows how—by putting on a mask and protecting people.

Then one night Steve comes home to find Bucky waiting for him and everything gets flipped upside down.

Vigilantism* by liionne (oneshot | 1,682 | T) *chose not to warn

Tumblr Prompt: Modern Steve and Bucky standing up to bullies and becoming accidental vigilantes, thus inadvertently popping up on SHIELD's radar. They unknowingly end up helping several super heroes, Avengers and/or SHIELD agents and soon become something of an urban legend in the hero community. Or I dunno. Just modern Steve and Bucky in the MCU! :)

Part 1 of Tumblr Prompts

#anonymous #mod blue

[alyseofwonderland]

I blame @relenafanel for making me watch that terrible video with Jackson and Ethan

Danny isn’t missing. He is busy being trained by MI6 to be their new top agent. Turns out that hacking abilities and a knowledge of the supernatural are two of the best skills a boy could have if he wants to work in covert intelligence operations. 

He was scouted for the position.

A month or so into his train he has an encrypted skype call with Stiles and they talk about how they can best protect the werewolves they love.

Because when Danny ran into Jackson in London the friendship turned into something it had always meant to be, love. They both loved Ethan. It wasn’t hard to make it work. Sometimes love was better when it was shared. 

Of course Danny can’t be there for every major anniversary or event. He is in Russian for the first because there are whispers of a dirty bomb on its way to North Korea. Danny misses Jackson’s birthday while in deep cover in Dubai. 

When the Sheikh’s son says he will do anything to be with Danny, he has to turn down the boy with a gentle “I am in a committed polyamorous relationship, but you are too kind.” The Cartel’s daughter is less amiable to being turned down. 

“I don’t think I am going to make it out of Columbia in time.” He texts sadly in a safe house.

“That’s fine, Jackson broke the lamp fighting some hunters anyway. [sad face emoji].”

Perhaps it’s time to speak with Stiles again about their plan to make life very hard for hunters around the world. He really liked that lamp,

#jabberwockytalkies #words #teen wolf #danny mahealani #jackson whittemore #ethan #stiles stilinski #Danny isn't dead he is a secret agent #relenafanel #listen here if i am going to be subjected to watching this shit i am going to deal with it the best way possible #with good fan fiction #alyse writes

[relenafanel]

For everyone waiting on my next fic, I’m in the middle of rewriting the ending and about to go into the final editing phase for a new fic (“new” as in I started in Feb and it sat there for months)!!!

wangxian modern au

temporarily unrequited love

BFF to lovers pipeline

probably funny?

some very questionable kiss scenes re: whether or not they’ve communicated enough to be kissing at this point in the plot (I don’t want to label it as dubcon so much as it’s dubious life choices on both their parts)

Basic premise:

Wei Ying needs to start considering his feelings for Lan Zhan after he drunkenly climbs into LZ’s bed in the middle of the night (platonic) and sleeping LZ kisses him (non-platonically).

And Wei Ying makes it a habit to not think about feelings, ever. ESPECIALLY where Lan Zhan is concerned.

(Current word count is at about 15k of WWX not looking closely at a single thing he says or does on purpose)

Hopefully it’ll be up soon. I’m thinking Friday unless edits bring up huge issues. I might just throw it on the internet even if they do.

#I will name this fic soon #RelenaFanel writes

[darter-blue]

So- I’ve been going through your blog for a few weeks now and reading your fics, but I just watched Endgame. I watched it yesterday and I need some comfort fics where it’s soft and the boys are in love because I feel attacked by the Russos and extremely disappointed 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 any fics you can recommend for a poor lost soul????

Hey there gorgeous Nonnie,

Oh, endgame will leave you in a nasty place for sure, but yes honey, I have a few fics that will put you right.

Here is a little list of fluffy fun for you, read and get your happy stucky vibes back. And let's pretend that other nonsense never existed, shall we? Good bub.

Becs fluffy recs:

they're gonna send us to prison for jerks by napricot

This is mostly inspired by this tumblr post and Sebastian Stan's hilarious look for I, Tonya in general. This was supposed to be a short lolzy undercover/mistaken identity type thing, but whoops. Now it's 24k of lolz and feelings!

Effects of Obliteration by geneticallydead

I wanted to write a Winter Soldier recovery fic, but with some kind of spin where there isn't the inherent angst of the Soldier, you know, trying to flat out murder Steve on several occasions.

So um, ta da?

*throws fic at you and runs*

Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail by MusingsOnBuckyBarnes, owlet

The mission resets abruptly, from objective: kill to objective: protect

(Always rec this fic for comfort reading)

Sweater Weather by odetteandodile

hi all, i was in the mood for some lighthearted fall-themed shrunkyclunks and here's where we ended up!

enjoy some awkward flirting, banter, puppy-eyes, and fluffs.

The Right Wrong Number by giselleslash

Steve's one night stand blows him off with a wrong number, which just happens to be Bucky's number...

Steve Rogers. Cheerfully Slutty. by relenafanel

Steve Rogers. Cheerfully Slutty. But not going to take your shit about it.

Bucky Barnes. Voted most likely to fall in love first.

Red Carpet Rescue Mission by darter_blue

Just in case you, like me, are in the mood for adorable stucky shenanigans, I present this little bit of fun, based on the cutest anecdote I've heard in forever:

Irish presenter, Angela Scanlon, doesn't recognise Steven Spielberg at the BAFTA's

Subliminal Advertising by Kalee60

Hello and welcome to this absolute ridiculous story 

This came about from an actual visit to the supermarket when I not so proudly caught myself staring at a very nice looking man who may have had a wonderful shoulder to waist ratio that made me think of Steve... 

Love in Aisle Four by ixalit

When Bucky needs to swing by the supermarket after a long, hard day of work, the last thing he expects is to meet a cute grocery clerk named Steve…

When you say nothing at all by becassine

Sometimes the best conversations are never spoken aloud.

aka Bucky remembers some of his & Steve's more memorable kisses throughout their years.

Compatible - A Romantic Science Fiction Thriller in Four Parts by the1918

This fic was born into the world as a disgusting, smutty PWP plot bunny full of every a/b/o trope in the book. Then I watched it accidentally grow a plot and even sprout some world building. I apologize for what I have created.

night by the_gods_wife

Ch. 1: Steve and Bucky have to work together to neutralize a threat.

Ch. 2: Bucky is forced to defuse a tense situation

Stucky Tumblr Drabbles by TrekChik

A collection of Stucky drabbles, really a series of Meet-Cutes with an occasional high-context relationship, all about 1000 words or less.

Crash and Burn by HaniTrash

When you're the most feared assassin in the international spy world, who happens to also be an Omega, it's not exactly easy to scrounge up a willing partner. After all, everyone assumes you're an Alpha based on your size and generally grumpy nature. The website is an online matching service that seemed doubtful to his skeptical mind, but all he's looking for is a cock to ride out his heats with instead of doing all the work himself. Should be simple enough, right?

💗💗💗

There you go nonnie, lots of juicy fun fluff and smut for you to sink your teeth into. As always, mind the ao3 tags and ratings and enjoy!!!

I love Fall!!! 🍁👻🎃   The Halloween fics are here. 

Shiver by  canistakahari | 1.7K

Stiles has really, really cold hands. Luckily, Derek knows just what to do about that.

All Around the Pumpkin Patch by  Twice_Shy | 4.1K

Derek works at his family’s pumpkin patch every year. This year, he finds himself distracted by one of their customers.

Fall(ing) by  damnfancyscotch | 12.6K

Stiles LOVES Fall.

and you in your autumn sweater by  Siria | 2.2K

And then Derek showed up in the sweater.

if we shadows by  Loslote | 9.7K

When Scott is bitten by a werewolf on Halloween night, the Stilinski-McCall family is whisked away to a parallel world called Halloweentown so that Scott can learn to control his new instincts. With going on coffee dates with Derek Hale, Scott’s werewolf mentor, making a new best friend in Scott’s crush, Allison Argent, and finding his calling working with the Hale pack ravens, will Stiles even want to go home when the year is up?

Pumpkin Patches Lead To The Best Things by  Swlfangirl | 4K

All he wants are some Pumpkin Spice Pancakes. Sure the strawberry ones are good, but he’s still craving fluffy, sweet and spicy, pumpkiny fried batter. With all the Hale siblings acting a little weird, Stiles isn’t sure he’ll ever get what he’s looking for. Thankfully; Pumpkin Patches, pushy sisters, and his lack of a verbal filter; he might just land himself a date with Derek Hale.

(Fall)ing In Love With Autumn (& You) by alisvolatpropiis | 2.8K

From a prompt on Tumblr: "i wanted to really embrace the fall spirit so i raked my leaves into a big pile and have been jumping around in it for ages and your moving truck just pulled up beside my house, so hi i’m your new not-weird neighbour.”

it’s gourd to see you by  kellifer_fic | 1.3K

“Who let Derek pick the pumpkin place?” Lydia says with a judgmental glare.

reason to stay by bleepobleep | 12.5K

It's the last week of October, and a small town baker has run into his first crush again. Fate might have other ideas. Stiles tries for romance with a little help from what Beacon Hills does best— Halloween.

how you doin’? by  decideophobia | 6.7K

“So,” Derek says eventually, because he feels awkward and uncomfortable, “how you doin’?”

The Hale Farm Pumpkin Patch | ficlet

Chance only favours the prepared mind by  relenafanel | 4.1K

“What kind of bet did you lose that you have to go out with this?” the guy asked, gesturing to himself.

“First person to flirt with me,” Derek grumbled.

little boy lost by crazyassmurdererwall (smartalli) | 14.8K

If someone asked Stiles to write a parenting book, Stiles would say the best and most important rule is to love your kid. Just love the hell out of them, and make sure they know it.

The second most important rule would be don’t turn your back on a curious three year old with supernatural speed.

Stiles is currently failing at the second rule. Badly.

Corn Mazes and Apple Picking | ficlet

Gift Shop by Trelkez | 5.8K

The Christmas sweater alone should have sent any rational person running; the terrible customer service and delight in Derek’s suffering were just icing.

Imagine Me And You by  callunavulgari | 16K

“My name,” the kid tells Derek, sounding amused. “It’s Stiles. I figure if I’m going to wrestle a complete stranger for a pumpkin the least I can do is offer my name afterwards.”

“Stiles,” Derek tries, testing the way the name sits on his tongue. “I’m Derek.”

“Derek,” Stiles breathes, like he’s testing the weight of the name too. He grins, bright and blinding, which Derek guesses means that he likes the sound of it. “I’d offer to shake your hand, but since we almost got to second base a minute ago, I’d say we’re past that point.”

Stiles likes Autumn. He likes Derek. He hates pumpkin-spice flavored everything.

New Years Masterlist

part two

The 12 Days of Stucky (ao3) - Miss_Aphi steve/bucky E, 27k

Summary: Steve and Bucky had always fit together like two pieces of the same puzzle. Bucky's recovery was going well, even after the events in Washington DC and Wakanda, but he was still missing things, bits and pieces of his memory and an empty feeling in his chest. Maybe their ragged edges just need a little bit of filing down to fit back together again.

A 12-piece Stucky-trope fic that takes place across several years in Steve and Bucky's life together after the events of Civil War.

All the Time in the World (to make you mine) (ao3) - concavepatterns darcy/loki E, 19k

Summary: After the events of New York Loki is angry and unapologetic, and a chance encounter with a young science intern on New Years Eve only leaves him more unbalanced. He is certain of one thing though: Darcy Lewis will be his.

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose, It touches my foolish heart (ao3) - Merideath steve/darcy, jane/thor T, 2k

Summary: “Wonder Woman? Really Darcy? You think it’s appropriate to go to a costume party hosted by a superhero dressed as a superhero?”

“What. It’s a good costume I made it for comic con last year and couldn’t go because I tased a god. It’s perfectly tasteful. It’s World War II Wonder Woman. Look my stockings have lines up the back. I have suspenders, Jane! I was going to go with the Linda Carter version but I wasn’t going to meet the Avengers in my knickers.”

“Knickers? You Have got to stop watching BBC America Darcy.”

--------------------------

Darcy and Jane attend Tony Stark's New Year's Eve Costume Party.

Another Trip Around the Sun (ao3) - isaDanCurtisproduction peter/wade M, 31k

Summary: Peter likes Wade. A lot. Like-likes him. But this is a problem, see? Because Wade has no idea who is behind the Spiderman mask.

And then they go to a New Years Eve Party hosted by Tony Stark, get completely wasted, and suddenly this does not seem to be nearly as much of a problem as Peter originally thought. Because Peter always makes the best decisions while drunk, don't you know? Especially when his decision involves getting into Deadpool's pants.

Five Avengers Tony Kissed Under the Mistletoe (And One He Didn't) (ao3) - sariane OT6 T, 4k

Summary: Five Avengers Tony Kissed Under the Mistletoe and One He — wait, what the hell? There are only six Avengers, how does that even work, author? Are you sure you should be writing fanfiction? Does no one regulate this?

Holiday Spending (ao3) - tisfan bucky/tony E, 70k

Summary: anonymous asked:

Winteriron collage au w/fake relationship; Tony asks Bucky to be his fake boyfriend, either to shake off some matchmaking friends or to piss off Howard. Turns out Bucky is all Tony ever wanted in a boyfriend. Too bad it's not real (extra angst if Tony paid for Bucky to act as his boyfriend, now Tony wonders if it was all for the money). Happy ending?

Misfits (ao3) - fannishliss steve/bucky G, 3k

Summary:

Kisses on New Year's Eve: 1939, Bucky and Steve go to see the ball drop on Times Square. 2014, Steve attends the Avengers Gala.

NYE Pact Mentality (ao3) - relenafanel steve/bucky T, 3k

Summary: “I came out to Peggy last night. We were playing a game where everyone made up one resolution and then put them in a hat. I got ‘find a boyfriend’.”

A passionate on-air New Year's kiss shared with a prominent glam gay icon changes Steve's life forever, and may end up costing him the one person who means the most to him. But when one door closes, another one opens, and Steve may be looking at the opportunity of a lifetime, courtesy of a little reality show.

In which Steve Rogers finds himself in the all the old familiar places, Tony Stark finds he can go home again with the right companions, and James "Bucky" Barnes finds himself looking to figure out his place in history.

fanfic meme!

My sideblog was tagged by @figureofdismay but I want to post this here. Anyone can play along but I’d be interested in hearing from @anachronistique @windofderange @lifecrystals @favomancer @relenafanel @deathweaver

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

Nineteen!

2) What’s your total AO3 word count?

88,429

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

I’ve written for a lot more than are represented on my ao3 account. But those are: MCU (Captain America movies), Endeavour, Sleepy Hollow, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, History Boys, Overwatch, Brideshead Revisited.

4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Focused Recreation: Present-moment, Mind-Body Activities and PTSD Therapy For Veterans (171)

You Were Touching My Arm (70)

Dark Towers & Lonely Roads (69)

The Banishing of Winter (65)

But Cover Thy Face With A Veil (55)

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I try to respond to every one! Comments mean so much more to me than just kudos—even comments that are nothing more than keysmashes. They’re the things that really make me want to keep writing and I like to engage with and thank readers for leaving them.

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Maybe You Were Touching My Arm? I don’t really like ending on an angsty note.

7) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

We won’t speak of the things I have purged from my ao3 account.

8) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I have not! I feel very blessed.

9) Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yes. 😏 The… usual kind? I’ve written a lot more smut than I’ve posted, so I’ve written pwp, ot3, mm, fm, ff.

10) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

11) Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of!

12) Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Kind of? I’ve definitely brainstormed plots/ideas with people, and I used to co-write stories through play-by-email RP, but I have never co-authored a full fic with anyone.

13) What’s your all time favorite ship?

StevePeggyBucky OT3 forever.

14) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

The Mistakes You Keep 😔

15) What are your writing strengths?

I’m… not sure? I think I am pretty good at writing from specific POVs and capturing a character’s voice.

16) What are your writing weaknesses?

Can’t plot worth a damn, run out of focus/motivation.

17) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I have both left the other language in tact (without translating it) and also just put the translation in the fic. It really depends on the setting and what I think my audience will be, but it’s also a stylistic choice.

18) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

I don’t even remember. I know I started writing fanfic in middle school, but I can’t remember the specific fandom. Maybe Sailor Moon? I have always had a bad habit of deleting fics when I move on from a fandom or don’t want them out there any more, so I know I scrubbed my earliest stuff off ff.net years ago. 🤣

19) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

One that is not on ao3. Yet. 😎

Favorite Stucky Fics

Reading has been a big solace to me during this time of sheltering in place, both novels and fanfic. I wanted to put a little positivity out there for some of my favorite fanfic writers as a way of saying thanks for providing some of the stories that have been brightening my days.

Today, I specifically want to give some love to my favorite Stucky fics. There is just something about Bucky and Steve’s contrasting personalities and their “to the end of the line” friendship turning into something more that is compelling every time, and I love it. I have read many, but these are my absolute favorites--the ones I go back to time and again.

Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail by owlet.

Normally, amnesia/memory loss in a love story is one of my nope tropes, so the majority of my Stucky reading veers toward AUs. However, I saw a Tumblr post about this one, and I was hooked by the first chapter. Barnes is a compelling narrator as he figures out how to piece himself back together over the course of this series. It treats his recovery with so much care, and yet Barnes is also a hilarious and grumpy dude that it is fun to read about. There is a touch of unreliable narrator, which is a favorite trope of mine, but even when Barnes doesn’t quite understand what’s going on, he still gets to the heart of a situation in a satisfying way. This is now my preferred head cannon for post CA:tWS.

I just met you (and this is crazy) by @littlesystems

This was the fic that really hooked me on Stucky for the first time. I tended to avoid Stucky due to my nope trope on amnesia, but a Harringrove fic writer I loved recommended this so I tried it. Modern Bucky pulled me in and I fell into Shrunkyclunks, which then got me into Stucky in general. I love how modern Bucky can compliment cannon Steve, and in this fic, his personality is so pre-WWII Bucky that it’s perfect. Adding in Steve 1000% Rogers and some unexpected Tony heart are great additions. Faking dating is another favorite trope of mine, and while this fic isn’t classic fake dating, it skirts the edge in a really fun way.

Prince Charming by Brenda

Brenda writes awesome modern Stucky AUs, but Prince Charming is the best. The concept of someone who sets their exes up with their best friends is fun, and Bucky’s character growth as he navigates being bisexual for the first time is powerful. The supporting cast is great. I love the mix of Howlies and Avengers in his life, and Cap and Winter the pups are perfect. Also, there is something really compelling about both the tattoo shop setting in general and his specialty in tattooing scar tissue. And if you like this one, check out Off the Record and Lessons in Chemistry by Brenda, too.

Sweater Weather by @odette-and-odile

Another Shrunkyclunks, this one centering around holidays and important events. It starts with a misunderstanding in which Bucky doesn’t recognize Steve as Captain America, and it just gets better and better. There is real character growth in both of characters over the course of the series, the Avengers and the Barnes family get really fleshed out, and there is tons of humor as well.

food for thot by @deisderium

This fic introduced me to a new favorite trope--dragons living as humans who treasure a person. And then Deisderium turned the human into a vampire for good measure. The supernatural elements of this world feel so natural, and the dragon world is especially fleshed out in the most recent installment. Deisderium has a way with story-appropriate turns of phrases and writes thirst and pining like a master (check out deep dive and the one less traveled for more of that).

 Fan the Flame by Avaaricious

As you can tell, I am partial to modern AUs and Shrunkyclunk stories. This one started off with a funny “meet ugly” concept--swiping right on Tinder by mistake--but it has become one of the most well fleshed out, character oriented stories I’ve ever read. Bucky’s emotional IQ in this story is through the roof, and it touches on issues like PTSD with tact and grace. The chapter about Bucky’s no good very bad day made me teary. Also, this representation of the Barnes family as a whole is the best one I’ve ever read. Fair warning, this is the only one on my all time faves list that is still a WIP, but it’s worth it and chapters come out semi-regularly.

Slide to Answer by relenafanel

There should be more wrong number meet cutes in the world. I love Steve the relationship/dating guy accidentally misdialing Bucky the one night stand guy. And the sequel with Bucky fumbling through his first Christmas in a relationship makes the series.

Red Velvet (a.k.a. Sugar Sweet) by @colorcoated01

I’m not sure why I even started this one, because Daddy kink is not really my thing, but this story is so good that does not even matter. Steve is gorgeous, caring, and basically too good to be true, but what really makes this story is Bucky. He’s sweet, funny, and full of heart, but his youth makes him an unreliable narrator in ways both hilarious and delightful. If the summer vacation sequel to this series ever shows up, I will be so excited!

Not Easily Conquered by dropdeaddream and What Are Fears

In this AU, Steve survives the plane crash, lives to marry Peggy, and then, in the 1960s, a set of never-sent letters from Bucky to Steve during the war come out for public consumption, turning everyone’s life upside-down. This is a new one to my list of faves, but man, it was a gut punch in the best way. Here is the best quote: So how long have I loved you for? Womb to tomb, sweetheart. Since before I was even here at all.

If Wishing Made It So by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen)

I knew that my favorite Stucky fics list would not be complete without something from leveragehunters. This writer’s world creation skills are absolutely incredible. So many of these fics, I’d read and think, “This world is so good, so compelling, that I’d read it without the Marvel characters.” Amazing stuff, seriously! And the way she uses the familiar Marvel characters only enhances the worlds she’s created (and the ones she’s borrowed, too). I love so many of these, I was really torn on which one to put on the list, as there are many I revisit. Finally, I decided on If Wishing Made It So because I wanted one Shrinkyclinks story on my list, and this is a great one. The Winter Soldier as genie works so well, and pairing him with Skinny!Steve was even better. The way she weaves consent issues into the mix is compelling, and their adventures draw you in from the get go. And the all-powerful genie trying in vain to protect the guy who doesn’t want to be protected or healed is a great dichotomy. And if you want other Shrinkyclinks, you can’t go wrong with Chase This Light (dragon trope!) or And Shadows Fall Behind. And, if I hadn’t decided to go Shrinkyclinks on this entry, leveragehunter’s Werewolf? There Wolf AU would totally have been on the list instead.
