A Taste of Honey (2016)

“Long after the Towers left the world but before the dragons came to Daluça, the emperor brought his delegation of gods and diplomats to Olorum. As the royalty negotiates over trade routes and public services, the divinity seeks arcane assistance among the local gods.

Aqib bgm Sadiqi, fourth-cousin to the royal family and son of the Master of Beasts, has more mortal and pressing concerns. His heart has been captured for the first time by a handsome Daluçan soldier named Lucrio. in defiance of Saintly Canon, gossiping servants, and the furious disapproval of his father and brother, Aqib finds himself swept up in a whirlwind romance. But neither Aqib nor Lucrio know whether their love can survive all the hardships the world has to throw at them.”

nasaficsrecs:

hey! thank you to everyone who’s taking a chance on me here. this will be my first roundup of the lovely fic I’ve been reading lately. please let me know if you have any suggestions for how I can do this or if any of the links are broken!

in no particular order:

the world spins madly on by @goodmorningbeloved

summary: “This isn’t about the beginning. This is about the bullet that slices through Steve Rogers’s heart, neat and clean, and leaves him for dead in the dust. This is about the gun that suddenly feels cold, colder, in Tony’s hand as he lunges to his feet and lurches forward, screaming and screaming. Or, Steve and Tony meet again in the afterlife.”

my comments: this is such a lovely, heart-wrenching fic! it’s set in the 1872 comics verse, but if you haven’t read that all you really need to know is that there’s an alternate universe where Steve and Tony are cowboys, and this is a reincarnation fic of that verse. it’s angsty but it’s got such a lovely ending, I highly recommend it!

any way you want it (that’s the way you need it) by @goodmorningbeloved

summary: “But the truth is, the truth that Steve knows, is that Tony has always been soft—soft to suggestion, soft for love, soft at heart; it’s everyone else who put the world on his shoulders, who took one look at Stark and Howard’s son and alpha and told him he couldn’t be. Couldn’t bow when pushed, couldn’t bend under the gentlest of touches, couldn’t accept pleasure any other way than what was proper and normal. Or: good alphas fuck and good omegas are fucked, but Steve has never cared about goodunless it’s about making Tony feel so.”

my comments: NSFW. somehow I hadn’t previously worked my way through all of goodmorningbeloved’s Ao3 fics, something I got to rectify this week. this is a newer fic, and a really lovely twist on the traditional way fic tends to portray alpha/omega dynamics - both in the reversal of traditional top/bottom roles, and the way tony, the alpha, is depicted as acting during his rut. it’s very soft and heartening and I really adored this fic!

Saved: Reprise by @ashes0909, @festiveferret

summary: “He knew Steve wanted him to go harder, to make sure he felt Tony’s marks long after they finished their scene, and he wanted to give that to him, be the one that could take him to levels of pleasure and peace he couldn’t access any other way.”

my comments: WIP, NSFW. this is a fic that’s going to be eating at my brain until the last two chapters are posted. it’s the first of a three parter, and if you don’t want pain - aka you want to wait and read it after it’s all posted - I definitely recommend at least bookmarking it so you don’t forget! the writing, as always, is gorgeous and the plot is so lovely. I’m so excited to see where it goes next!

In Our Bedroom, After the War by @royal-chandler

summary: “It’s not to say that Steve had ever anticipated the culling of half the universe or its aftermath. No, that’s well beyond the edges of any damnation he could have imagined. However, when he touches himself in the new world and can’t find completion, he’s stolen by surprise, and then anger, that this too has been taken away.”

my comments: NSFW. WOW royal_chandler really came for my fucking heart with this one. this is such a heart-wrenching depiction of what post-infinity war steve and tony might be like, and it’s so lovely that when I sat down to write this comment for this post I just had to go back and read it again. and the ENDING. not going to spoil it, but, DAMN. my heart.

Light Pollution by @festiveferret

summary: “Steve blinked at him. “I have no idea what’s happening right now.” Tony leaned a hip against the wall, crossed his arms, and stretched his grin wider, his eyes lighting up. “And isn’t it great?”

my comments: this. is. so. AMAZING. such an interesting canon divergence, the likes of which I have never seen before and I have read a lot of fic, so! that’s really saying something. steve and tony are so soft and lovely as they are depicted in this, and I just really adore this fic! god bless festiveferret, blessing us all for their birthday. a true saint.

It’s You by Name_Pending

summary: “Tony and Steve both have nightmares, but they always tell each other about them. Except the ones about Siberia. Those ones, Tony keeps to himself. Or at least, he tries to.”

my comments: oof, my heart. so lovely and angsty - my poor tony! a great piece of tony whump, with some cacw/infinity war aftermath thrown in.

nothing but a t-shirt on by @radicallyred

summary: “Steve comes home from a trip to find his boyfriend in bed with nothing but a t-shirt on. His t-shirt, at that.”

my comments: NSFW. clothes sharing = my favorite thing, and this is such an adorable fic of just that. also, sexy times. established relationship softness at it’s finest.

Women’s Troubles by Wikketkrikket

summary: “Earth-3490. Being held captive in Afghanistan would have been bad enough, but without any access to the pill or sanitary products, it was hell. And maybe Natasha Stark should have admitted to someone sooner that she was struggling to deal with her periods even now, because anything would be better than this- sending Captain America out to buy your tampons.”

my comments: i’m not going to lie, I wasn’t expecting to like this but found I really did! it’s Earth 3490 verse, which means female Tony by the name of Natasha Stark. it’s a really fascinating look at how Tony’s psyche could have been damaged differently if he was a woman who was captured, without going to darkest route possible. I love the description and the POV of Steve in this fic, it feels very real, and the way this author writes Tony (in any of her fics, not just when he’s a woman) is very vulnerable and human, which is a very interesting take to read.

Bubble Tea by Wikketkrikket

summary: “After a record stint in the lab, Tony is craving Bubble Tea. Unfortunately, getting hold of it might not be as easy as he anticipates, and getting home again? Even harder. It’s lucky, then, that Steve is passing by.”

my comments: clearly I just started working through this author’s fics once I read that first one, and wow! extremely talented. this is a lovely little one shot with a sort of vulnerable Tony whose pride is still holding him back. it’s a really unique and interesting take on his and Steve’s budding relationship that I haven’t seen anywhere else.

a little touch starved steve for @ohgodsabove​



Steve has been walking around the Tower like a ghost for the last week.

It’s February and the gloomiest it’s been all winter; during the day it rains and at night it snows, not heavily, but unceasingly.

Everyone is a little bit antsy as a result, but Cap has been prowling around in thick knitted sweaters clutching steaming mugs and staring out the water-speckled windows. His usually clear gaze is distant and unfocused and honestly it’s giving Tony the heebie jeebies. He doesn’t know where it is Steve’s gone in his head, but it’s not here.

Tony tries to keep the unsettle off his face when he emerges from his workshop, but Cap doesn’t make it easy, and near the end of the week it all comes to a head.

Thursday afternoon he comes up to get coffee and he’s hoping to run into Natasha so they can exchange a few barbs, but Steve is the only one in the kitchen. He’s sitting at the counter with a mug, eyes fixed on the grey mess outside.

“Hey, Cap,” Tony says, aiming for casual, but sounding wary even to his own ears.

“I’m fine,” Steve murmurs and Tony pauses at the counter in front of the coffee maker, closing his eyes. He rubs the bridge of his nose.

Okay, they’re doing this then.

“Well, that’s a load of horseshit if I’ve ever heard it,” he says, falsely bright and turns back around.

Steve’s eyes drag over to look through him and for a second Tony thinks he’s going to say he’s fine again. Instead, he says hollowly, “Yeah, maybe.” He sighs and digs his fingers into his forehead. “Don’t worry about it.”

“Tried that. Didn’t work. Time to try something else. What’s your deal?”

Steve blinks at him slowly and shrugs. “Dunno.”

Tony looks at him, really looks at him, and the way he’s hunched over the mug clutched in his hands like he thinks he’ll go flying off into outer space if he eases up, the dark shadows under his dull eyes. It’s a look Tony’s seen in the mirror more than a few times.

He fills up a mug, and as he does, asks, “You mind if I sit with you?”

“Not very good company.”

“Did I ask you to be?”

“It’s your home,” Steve mutters.

Tony’s a little bit alarmed by the fact that he recognizes Steve is trying to push him away. “You’re right, it is,” he replies and plops down carelessly into the seat right next to Steve, with enough force to inch it that much closer to Steve’s.

Their arms touch and Steve eyes him suspiciously. “What are you doing?”

“Coffee.” Tony lifts his mug in illustration. “What are you doing?”

Steve looks back down at his own mug, still full and apparently untouched. He shakes his head.

Tony leans into him a little, reaching across him to activate the holoscreen on the counter. He can feel Steve’s eyes on his face, his awkward, reluctant attempt to shift away from where Tony’s touching him. “You don’t mind do you?”

Steve’s forehead creases. “Mind what?”

Tony jostles Steve’s arm a little, nudges a little closer so he’s pressed up against Steve from knee to hip.

“Not if you don’t,” Steve says slowly. He still seems confused and Tony wonders if it’s because he’s forgotten what casual contact felt like, or if it’s because he hasn’t been sleeping. Maybe both.

He’s watching Tony manipulate the holoscreen with that crease on his forehead still, and Tony grimly thinks, Both. “You’re a fantasy nerd, right?”

“I—what’s that? Nerd?”

“Nevermind. You like Lord of the Rings?”

“Yes,” Steve says, and deep suspicion pushes back the fog in his gaze momentarily.

“Has anyone introduced you to D&D yet?”

“D and D? I don’t think so. What is it?”

“Dungeons and Dragons. It’s a game.”

“Like…cards?”

Tony smiles and settles in as he pulls up the first episode of Critical Role. “Kind of not at all. Watch this, I think you’ll like it. You don’t have anywhere to be, do you?”

“No,” Steve murmurs, frowning as he looks between the video starting on the screen and Tony plastered up against his side. “Don’t you?”

“Nah,” Tony replies. He’ll grovel for Pepper later. “Now listen or we’ll have to start it over.”

They watch through the character bios before Steve starts to squirm.

“What? What is it?”

“Is there a reason we’re watching this here?”

“You were here, I was here, there’s video here. Why, you want to move to the couch?” Steve’s gaze darts away like he wishes he hadn’t opened his mouth and before he can answer, Tony nudges him with a hip. “Let’s move to the couch, this is four hours long, our asses will thank us.”

“Four hours?” Steve says, but moves where Tony guides him. He hesitates when they get to the couch, and Tony isn’t about to let him weasel his way out of this now, not when he’s got him right where he wants him, so he throws himself down half on top of Steve’s lap and calls, “JARVIS, big screen.”

The video immediately picks up where they left off, filling the screen on the wall.

Steve is stiff as a rock under Tony, but he doesn’t say anything, possibly because Tony steamrolls over the possibility by beginning to explain the basics of the game while they work out the audio issues. That gets the gears in his souped-up brain turning and when he starts to relax and ask more questions, Tony relaxes, too.

An hour in, Steve’s hand is warm on Tony’s shoulder and he lets out a low, rusty laugh. Tony all but glows with pride. Okay, so he handled that pretty well, all said and done. He can make this work.

I do like Clint/Phil, though I haven’t read much fic with that as the primary pairing. For no specific reason. 

And thank you! I will look into them! :D

A list of recommended Sam-positive fanfics and authors by @lunaaltare and @unclesteeb. For more information on how this list was created, click here. 

Just a special reminder to check out @samwilsonbirthdaybang! Let’s keep creating awesome works!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this list in any way!! HAPPY READING!

Holy Grail of Sam FanFic Recs And Authors:

Dreadnought by lunaaltare [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 60k, Explicit]

It’s 2015. So when a Nazi organization bags and kidnaps a bisexual black man to be their next asset, he guesses they’re trying their hand at this whole progressive thing, too. 

Make Me Your Home by Unclesteeb [Sam/Steve, 3k, Teen]

Sometimes, things need more than dusting and cleaning. Sometimes, things just require a lot of hard work.

When There’s Rain Showers by AmarieMelody [Sam/Bucky, 12k, Explicit]

In which Sam and Bucky are married and have a certain code language.

Humor, fluff, more humor, and gratuitous smut at the end.

Heroes by Overlithe [Sam/Bucky, 29k, Explicit]

It’s their first day off in a month and after an exhausting mission all Sam wanted to do was to stay home instead of being dragged by Bucky on a tour of DC’s touristic highlights. But a superhero’s work is never done, especially not when there’s explosions, problems you can’t punch, and a screening of the Greatest Film of All Time.

A slice-of-costumed-hero-life story about loss and hope, the past and the future, and killer bird gifs. (Set a few years after TWS & CA:CW and featuring BuckyCap and FalCap. Also, they make out while in costume, which I feel is the most important part of this summary.)

All the Stars Right Out of the Sky by permashift [Sam/Bucky/Steve/T’Challa, 46k, Explicit]

No one said it, but it was there, big and fast and sort of scary, too fragile to yet handle.

Simple.

Love.

Kestrel in Distress by bioloyg [Sam/Bucky, 17k, Explicit]

There’s a price to pay for being friends with the former Winter Soldier, but Steve was unavailable for comment so Sam’s ass is the one that ends up being kidnapped. And if that’s not bad enough, these guys expect Sam to roll over and give Bucky, and all his secrets, up without a fight.

Sam may hate the way Bucky sticks his spoon in the sugar after it’s been in his coffee, but he’s not about to throw a fellow vet under the bus. Not for his own life or anyone else’s.
~
“Sam lets a sharp breath out of his nose and squeezes his eyes shut until phosphenes explode behind his eyelids. He needs to keep a positive attitude. The moment he shows weakness to anyone, even himself, is the moment this all goes downhill.
As if it isn’t downhill already, Sam grumbles internally.”

When The Stars Align  by circ_bamboo [Sam/Bucky/Maria, 19k, Explicit]

“Who’s this guy?” the woman said, as she brushed strands of brown hair out of her face.

“Sam Wilson,” Sam said, but then the truck hit a bump, her bare fingers hit his forearm, and it felt like a star burst instead Sam’s head.

Our Dirty Little Secret by roane [Sam/Bucky, 3k, Explicit]

Sam didn’t plan to start a secret, torrid affair with the former Winter Soldier. It just sort of happened. Now he’s not sure what’s more likely to kill him: sex with Bucky Barnes, or Steve, when he finds out what Sam’s been up to.

Life is Hard, But Sweetheart We’re Gonna Make It by misspronounced [Sam/Bucky, 15k, Explicit]

In which Bucky fights in a war with Sam. They fall for one another and help each other through some tragic events that happen. A love conquers all sort of story.

full stops and exclamation marks by theshizniiit [Sam/Bucky, 9k, Explicit]

After Bucky is let out of cryo in Wakanda, he and Sam lay low in Seattle together. Shenanigans and feelings ensue. 

They might be doing this ‘getting together’ thing a bit backwards.

Your Eyes Are My Sunshine by patchwork_daydreams [Sam/Bucky, 10k, General]

“Can you pass me the last slice?” Bucky says, motioning to the box next to Sam.

He’s not sure what makes him do it – maybe some last ditch attempt to break this weirdness between them – but Sam picks up the remaining slice of pizza and stuffs the whole thing into his mouth.

“What last slice?” he asks thickly, through his mouthful of pizza crust.

A smile breaks onto Bucky’s face, and Sam thinks thank god. He holds his gaze, just a little too long, and is surprised when Bucky responds by glancing very deliberately down, running his eyes down Sam’s body. Holy fuck, what is this?

“Dick,” Bucky mutters after a moment, his eyes flicking back up to Sam’s face, and quirking an eyebrow.

so brand new by deedadoo [Sam/Bucky, 3k, Explicit]

“Two weeks,” Sam murmurs, breath hitching as Bucky pulls back to mouth at the sensitive spot on his jaw, “is too damn long.”

“I think I can make it worth the wait,” Bucky shoots back.

outrun my gun by biblionerd07 [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 2k, General]

After Sam gets hurt on a mission, Steve and Bucky spill some truths about how important he is to them.

A Typical Date by mikkimouse [Sam/Bucky, 700, Teen]

“You know, Barnes, just once I want you to take me on a damn date that doesn’t end with us getting shot at.”

that’s what you get for dreaming aloud by oh_no_oh_dear [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 80k, Explicit]

Steve likes Bucky (duh.) Bucky likes Steve (double-duh.) Sam likes Steve (kinda duh.) Steve likes Sam (who wouldn’t?) Bucky likes Sam (wat)

Sam…likes Bucky? (stop the madness)
The slowest of slow burns. Occasional angst. Much kissing ensues. Maybe more also ensues.

comedy jokes by hupsoonheng [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 76k, Explicit]

“I don’t know what some of these are,” you admit. “Should he be clean cut or a jock? Is Steve a daddy?”

bucky and natasha prank steve by installing grindr on his phone, complete with profile and push notifications. what they don’t expect is for steve to use the app as god and joel simkhai intended, which is to meet a male model, who happens to be named sam wilson. who also happens to be the dude who would not laugh once during bucky’s standup comedy set.

featuring sam wilson in crop tops, bucky barnes as wide beef, and natasha romanov in more than just a supporting role

Feel So Fine by Rubynye [Sam/Steve, 4k, Explicit]

Steve brings Sam some funch.

All I Ever Wanted by alby_mangroves and seratonation [Sam/Bucky, 14k, General]

Florist/tattooist AU. When Steve and Tony decide to get married Bucky and Natasha volunteer to organise the wedding for them. As it turns out the florist is one Sam Wilson and Bucky really didn’t stand a chance.

To Prove that I Love You by capgal and grainnemhaolx [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 5k, General]

Sam wakes up around 5.

Well, ‘wakes up’ may not quite be the correct word. It implies some form of sleep occurred prior to said waking up, which is not precisely true. It’s not that he didn’t get any rest at all, but the fretful drowsing-dozing he did is woefully inadequate to be called sleep.

It wasn’t nightmares or flashbacks that kept him up this time, staring up at the dark-shrouded ceiling with tired eyes. No, the nightmares have been scarce for a while, allowing him to get peaceful, uninterrupted sleep most nights. That peace may have something to do with the two bodies curled up next to him in the oversized bed they share. In the quiet, it’s easy to hear the soft sound of Steve’s gentle snoring. Bucky’s metal arm is a considerable but comfortable weight around his waist, skin-warmed and reassuring. It’s quiet. It’s calm. It’s peaceful and comfortable and happy.
Except, of course, the sleepless night.

keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold by OrginalCeenote [Sam/Steve, 20k, Explicit]

Sam could never deny Steve Rogers anything. Help interrogate a HYDRA mole inside SHIELD? Check. Fly as Steve’s wing man to stop three Helicarriers? Check. Give the Captain and his partner a place to lay low while HYDRA is trying to kill them? Check. Cover Steve’s six after an assassin rips out the steering wheel of his car while Sam’s driving it? Check.

So  maybe instead of making Sam look good in front of the girl at the VA reception desk, Steve decides to cover for Sam when they run into his ex while they’re running errands. Because maybe Steve Rogers couldn’t deny Sam Wilson anything either.

Til Death by bamsucky [Sam/Bucky, 4k, Explicit]

A few near-death experiences make Bucky further realise that he wants Sam, always and forever.

Mine or Yours by LeMera [Sam/Steve, Sam/Bucky, 31k, Explicit]

The morning after, Steve pretended like nothing happened, which felt like a punch in the gut. They were off to find Bucky. That was all Steve would talk about. Bucky, Bucky, Bucky. Sam was going to fucking kill Bucky when they found him, if the guy didn’t kill them first.

Just to be clear, this is not OT3.

A yet more glorious day by Sororising [Sam/Steve, 5k, Teen]

Helen hums to herself. “I know. Who’s the most married out of all the Avengers?”

“Sam and Steve, obviously,” Sharon says, winking at Steve in a very unsubtle way.

“As someone who has observed them from the very beginning,” Nat says with authority, and Steve winces as he remembers getting into her car right after meeting Sam. He’d been unable to stop himself from telling Nat about him, which he should have known was a horrible idea that would come back to haunt him.

“I concur,” Nat continues, flourishing her drink in a violent way that somehow manages to avoid spilling a drop. “Old Cap and New Cap are definitely the most married.”

Empty by rc1788 [Sam/Bucky, 5k, Explicit]

Sam is pissed off because Bucky has been eating all the food in the fridge at the Avengers compound. But Sam’s even more pissed that Bucky’s been quiet lately.

AKA Sam and Bucky ignore their feelings and fuck in the back of a car in the Denny’s parking lot.

Sunday by SayWhaaat [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 2k, Teen]

Sam loves his boyfriends. There is no ifs, ands or buts about it, because it’s simple and unconditional and true; Sam loves his boyfriends. However, pure and unstoppable love does not exclude them from the fact that they’re weird and annoying as fuck at 5:30 in the morning. 

sea-cold, sea-cold it certainly is by dirtybinary [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 6k, Teen]

“I didn’t know it was like this,” Sam says. “You coming off ice, I mean.”

“So don’t wake me up every time Steve stubs his toe,” Bucky says, without any heat. It’s always good to see Sam. He’s not sure if he’s ever said so. “What’s the emergency now?”

Bucky knows that going back on ice is for the best. Steve and Sam beg to differ. There are tears and cuddles and explosions, and some truly awful puns.

Coffee and Cliches  by Chaneladdict [Sam/Steve, 3k, Teen]

Steve has a crush on the running guy with the cute butt. The running guy is about to get hit on in the form of a sarcastic awkward super soldier. This is just your every day Meet Cute.

A Fine and Wholesome Direction of Energy by adi_rotynd [Sam/Steve, 18k, General]

Or: Bucky Barnes Is Definitely Probably Not Stealing Steve Rogers’s Boyfriend

Music For The Soul by DiefaceJohnson [Sam/Steve, 8k, Mature]

Five times that people get an inside peek at Sam and Steve’s relationship through music and one time that someone sees more than they bargained for (though they’re certainly not complaining).

Coffee & TV by lorax [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 4k, Mature]

The fact that he knew their coffee orders was the least weird part of that day.

The Favor of the King by thingswithwings [Sam/T’Challa, 18k, Explicit]

T'Challa – King T'Challa of Wakanda, the Black Panther, Guy Who Dresses Up Like a Cat to Fight Crime or Possibly for Other Reasons, Who the Fuck Knows – T'Challa corners Sam during one of their visits to check in on Bucky and says, in a mild voice that should not sound as threatening as it does, “We need to talk.”

“We do, huh,” Sam says, looking him up and down. He’s just a king and a superhero and a genius inventor and possibly the richest man alive, looking way too fine and wearing the hell out of a tailored three-piece suit; Sam can hold his own against this guy.

Personal Growth by FunkyinFishnet [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 7k, Teen]

Bucky lets himself get found by Sam and Steve. Sam gets to know how he feels about both of them. He invites them to move in with him, they all need the company and stability, they all need to keep watch.

I Get By (With a Little Help) by rivlee [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 9k, Teen]

It’s been seven months since Bucky Barnes came back from the proverbial dead, and Sam’s life is still full of surprises. (And not just the kind that come from Natasha Romanoff.)

Showtime! Under the Stars! by APgeeksout [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 1k, Teen]

Sam, trying to make a little nostalgic fun for his guys.

Love Me Tender by Kellyscams [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 2k, Explicit]

After a long, emotionally stressful weekend, Sam returns home to find a lovely surprise waiting for him. 

Crash Standing by phaetonschariot [Sam/Bucky, 26k, Mature]

The Winter Soldier project was not the last of its kind. Several months after the collapse of SHIELD, Bucky wants to come in from the cold, and he’s bringing the Falcon with him.

You Make Me Feel Like I Could Fly by discreetmath [Sam/Rhodey, 6k, Explicit]

The first time Sam meets Jim, their timing is terrible, and the next time seems like it’s just more of the same. Maybe if they learned to use their words better, it wouldn’t take a giant cephalopod to put them on the road to getting it together.

Unexpected Houseguest by faeryn [Sam/Bucky, 20k, Mature]

When Sam comes across Bucky in the strangest of places, his first instincts are to run, and to call Steve. He does neither, and in doing so manages to form a strange bond with the Soviet assassin who once tried to kill him. Bucky is broken, a shell of his former self, and Sam wants nothing more than to help return him to himself. But can he maintain a respectable and responsible distance from the man, despite how Bucky draws him in, in order to help him? Or will he falter, and shatter all the progress he has made by giving in to his own desires?

If Only in My Dreams by pollinia [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 2k, Mature]

Sam buzzed in next. Steve Rogers, acting shy? I’m not so sure I’m really sexting the Star-Spangled Man with a Plan.

Partition by invincibleironwoman [Sam/Bucky, 3k, Mature]

It’s been three weeks. Three long weeks and Bucky really missed his boyfriend.

Who Has No Relevant Place in His Time? by Sandyk [Sam/Natasha, 2k, Teen]

Natasha was already dating Sam Wilson before Steve met him.

Breaking the Habit by JamieReyes [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 2k, Explicit]

After hours of bickering on a long car ride Steve takes measures into his own hands.

When It’s Over We Can Begin by captainafroelf [Sam/Bucky, 4k, Teen]

 Steve’s gone, leaving Sam and Bucky to pick up the pieces.

The Butterfly Effect by morituritesalutant [Sam/Bucky, 26k, Mature]

Bucky is 16 years old and has been ‘gifted’ with the ability of hearing the truth behind people’s lies. It has made him bitter, distrustful, alienated, traumatised. Most of all, he’s getting sick of trying to hide it out of fear he’ll be discovered. When a new student arrives that refuses to speak, he quickly becomes obsessed with becoming the stranger’s friend, (but really, he wants more.)

Kiss the Cook by Avakelly [Sam/Bucky/Rhodey, 6k, Teen]

“You have no idea what you’re doing,” Rhodey concludes.

Sam crosses his arms and raises his chin. He won’t go down without a fight.

The smirk on Rhodey, though, turns into a small smile, and he pulls out his phone. “Don’t worry,” he says as he waits for a call to connect, “we’ll help. Hey,” he speaks into the mic, “you alone? Uh-huh. That’s close. Ditch Rogers and come early. Need you. All right, see you in twenty.”

This is Exactly Where I Want to Be by kajmere [Sam/Bucky, 4k, General]

Sam doesn’t think Bucky and him are quite at the sentimental gift giving stage of their friendship, so he settles on the first Falcon themed merchandise he spots.

Steve laughs in his face and tells him he is going to regret this.

Sam does.

 A Snowball Running by prettylittlementirosa [Sam/Bucky, 2k, Teen]

Bucky shrugs with one shoulder, the good shoulder. He’s not really sure how to explain that he doesn’t like the guy because he was talking to Sam, making him laugh- that that should’ve been Bucky. Even as he thinks it, it sounds ridiculous. He has no claim over Sam, and really, it shouldn’t matter who’s making Sam laugh, just so long as he’s happy. God, Bucky wants him to be happy.

Shared Interests by Jeangenie [Sam/Steve/Bucky/Thor, 6k, Explicit]

Sam gets to know Thor and Bucky a little better. Steve is thrilled.

Vulnerable by sixnumbers [Sam/Steve, 4k, Explicit]

Sam Wilson is a man who want to feel safe in another’s arms. Steve Rogers, he finds, wants exactly the same.

Not Yet by vassalady [Sam/Steve, 2k, Explicit]

Steve is always going at high speed compared to Sam, so they decide to slow things down in the bedroom, Steve forced to hold off until after Sam comes.

Long Way Down by baamon5evr [Sam/Steve, 21k, Explicit]

Steve does not want to be involved with people. He’s already dealing with a zombie apocalypse and the fact that he can see and speak to his dead friends. Then Sam comes into the picture and changes everything.

The Brooklyn Holiday by theladyking [Sam/Steve, 6k, Teen]

“Hopefully we’ll be seeing more of each other,” Steve said before stepping out of the way. Sam nodded and nearly ran out the room and into the cooler hallway to catch his breath.

Luckily no one was around to see him, a grown ass man, squeal in embarrassment.

#SayIdo Series by mrs_d [Sam/Steve, 52k, Teen-Explicit]

“Excuse me,” Sam cut in. He couldn’t take another minute of this. “Their relationship? What about our relationship? Nobody’s speculating about that?”

Stuffy Noses (strep throat, swollen eyes) by destroyallmonsters [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 3k, General]

 “Ugh,” is all Sam can say. “I miss Mama’s chicken soup right now.”

“The be-all, cure-all,” Sarah muses. “Jesus, you look terrible. Aren’t your boyfriends helping you out any?”
Oh, boy, are they ever.

Sweetest Hangover by dreamkiller [Sam/Steve, 3k, Teen]

Sam wakes up on a Friday in April, with the mother lode of hangovers, in a bed that’s not his own.

Good Boy by marvelidiot [Sam/Steve, 2k, Explicit]

Sam and Steve’s first time.

Forward Momentum by abysmal_seraph [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 14k, Explicit]

There’s a lot more to Sam Wilson than meets the eye. Unfortunately, he has no idea what he is and those who do mean him nothing but harm.

Let Lose, Let Go by diefacejohnson [Sam/Bucky, 1k, Explicit]

Sam and Bucky are doin’ it.

Anniversary, Approximately by the_genderman [Samsteve, 1k, Explicit]

Really, just an excuse to write some Steve/Sam smut. Enjoy.

Fortitude by ToriCeratops [Sam/Bucky, 1k, Explicit]

Bucky doesn’t know when the shift from ‘safe place to crash’ towards ‘home’ happened, but he knew it was all Sam.

Never Letting Go by aceofhearts88 [Sam/Steve, 5k, Explicit]

Steve doesn’t like how quiet Sam has gotten on the plane, he doesn’t like the distant look and the shivering. All he wants is to take him away, to bring him somewhere where he can keep him safe, where they can be alone. His veins are burning with the need to comfort Sam, to show him that they were safe, that he got out, that it all would be okay now.

They were together again. And Steve would give all love to Sam now.

A Couple Guys and a Kid by unclesteeb [Sam/Steve/Bucky/Natasha, 45k, Explicit]

Slices of life with Uncle Bucky, Uncle Sam, Daddy Steve, Baby Sarah and Natasha as they figure out life, healing, growing up and love.

Maybe Home is Somewhere I’m Going by Astolat [Sam/Steve, 11k, Explicit]

They were about fifty miles from Atlanta when Sam stirred and yawned awake in the passenger seat. “Morning,” Steve said: the sun had come up, but the two-lane road was still pretty empty, a little morning mist hanging low over the asphalt and in the trees.

The Best of Men by iwillnotbecaged [Sam/Bucky, 14k, Explicit]

Steve and Peggy are getting married, and Steve wants his two best friends by his side. The only problem? They kind of hate each other.

That Time the Bifrost Threw a Tantrum (and something good came out of it) by bananawombat [Sam/Thor, 1k, General]

Sam wakes up to an alien in his backyard.

 Monsters Lead Me Home by robpatFF [Sam/Steve, 3k, Explicit]

They make it to a safehouse.

Sam thinks, hopes it’s a safehouse. Steve bullies him through the front door, so all Sam can catch in a bid to take in as much of the landscape and escape routes as possible (because fuck if Sam is letting himself get caught again. His wrists are still red and tender, and there’s a bruise that takes up the expanse of his left side that Steve will never, ever know about) is winding roads, lush, green grass and tulips of all things growing at the end of long, never-ending stalks.

Make a Thing Go Right by Hansbekhart [Sam/Bucky, 100k, Explicit]

Sam meets Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes on a Thursday night, at a burlesque show, and how it happens is this:

It’s already late, later than he should be out on a weeknight, but the theme of the show was a super hero revue and there was no way he was gonna miss that. It’s loud in the venue, which is the back space of what probably used to be a warehouse right near the Gowanus Canal, and Sam’s already had a few. He’s up at the bar during the break, watching the act. He doesn’t hear someone say, “Behind!” so when he steps away from the bar, he smashes right into the guy who’d just done the Captain America routine up on stage, and knocks his drinks to the ground.

-

Or, I wanted to see more stories that captured the weirdness and complexity of being queer, in your late 20s, and trying to date in Brooklyn - which is my life - so I wrote one. Takes place in the MCU.

All I Can Do is Just Pour Some Tea for Two by onvavoir [Sam & Bucky, 3k, General]

My belated contribution to Samtember, in which Sam Wilson is the one being taken care of.

It’s a Moon Thing by hermioneismydawg [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 7k, Explicit]

So it’s not like Sam is charting this moon shit. At least, not at first. See it goes like this - full moon Steve’s horny as shit, new moon he’s a ragey little bitch, the waning cycles are emotional, and the waxing he is just his normal sassy self. Without even looking back at records, Sam knows now that he met Steve during a waxing crescent and the Winter Soldier reared his messy head during waning gibbous.

Sam’s practically an astronomer now, for fuck’s sake.

Captain Hornball pops up again, right on schedule, and Sam decides to do something about it.

***
In which Sam Wilson discovers the effects of the moon on enhanced super-soldiers and has a lot of sex thanks to it.

Croatian Holiday by Brenda [Sam/Natasha, 2k, Teen]

“So, wait, are you telling me all this was some sort of recruitment?”

“No, it was a test.” She didn’t say whether or not he passed. Sam guessed the fact that he was still breathing was answer enough.

Close Air Support by Gothams_Only_Wolf [Sam/Bucky, Sam/Bucky/Natasha, 6k, Teen]

Sometimes the soul needs to heal before taking to the skies again.

A Fledgling Thing by Snarklyboojum [Sam/Steve/Bucky, 24k, Teen]

They say ‘a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush’ but Sam has pretty big hands and he’d prefer the birds to keep their beaks out of his love life, thanks.

If you’re primarily an MCU fan, I think the best fix would be to watch Avengers Assemble, since the canon is also more based in MCU, but it’s different enough that nothing is awful and everything is about the Avengers being a family. (Also Steve and Tony are very married? And I know people keep saying that, and it sounds too good to be true, but it IS!!!)

(credit: wingheadshellhead / original post)

As for blogs, the only two I can think of that are 100% Steve/Tony all the time are wingheadshellhead and stonystonysto, but there are also a bunch of personal blogs too that are very invested. Unfortunately I need to get going ASAP so I can’t do fic recs at the moment, so, I’ll try to get to that later in the day!

ANYWAY I’ll turn on replies so people can rec fics/blogs to follow below. Hope that helps!!

I finally took the time to read the MCU tie-in comics today and by my good luck, came across Iron Man 2: Public Identity, the prequel/tie-in between IM1 and 2. It’s a three issues comic and is worth every single frustration we’ve felt about MCU, just for its brilliant characterization of all the characters. Since I did read it completely, I decided to make a meta post about it.

For the purpose of this essay/meta, I’m dividing it into five categories:

~  Memories and Masks

~  Loyalty and Landmines

~  Families and Forged Iron

~  Recklessness and Radioactive Signatures

~  Selfishness and Altruism 

(long post, please watch for the break)

Keep reading
