Story Title: Someday My Prince Will Come
Fandom: Captain America, MCU
Link(s): story on ao3 with art and here's the art on tumblr
Summary: This is basically an escape from MCU angst, imagining how things would be if Bucky had indeed fallen from the train back in WWII but never became the Winter Soldier. After destroying the helicarriers in DC, Steve works with the other Avengers to stamp out hidden Hydra bases and finds Bucky: in cryofreeze but still very much himself. All the fun of a man-out-of-time getting used to the 21st century without any of that troublesome trying-to-kill-Steve stuff. Steve is ecstatic to have his best pal back, of course, but now he has to deal with his long-repressed feelings for Bucky. Much longing ensues.
Warnings NC-17 for m/m sex
Characters: Steve Rogers, James “Bucky” Barnes, Peggy Carter, Tony Stark, Sam Wilson, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton
Pairings: Steve Rogers/James “Bucky” Barnes
When I Started: summer of 2014
How I Lost My Shit: After I started writing my first Captain America series, which was a little more angsty (angsty for me anyway – though not in the general spectrum, not by a long shot!), I wanted something fluffy to work on at the same time. So I started this story. It was my fix-it for Winter Soldier angst. But I am not a huge fan of AUs, and as I wrote I started wondering why I was doing this, and the entire thing fizzled.
How I Finished My Shit: I was working on the for so damn long (off and on) that Captain America: Civil War came out, and that actually inspired me: this story became a fix-it for Civil War angst too, and Tony became a bigger part of the story, helping out instead of becoming an adversary.
