    Summary

    It’s the same as the way nobody even blinks at two men together, which is a fun fact of reality that Bucky still can’t get enough of. He can press a hand against the small of Steve’s back, into the curve of his waist, over the nape of his neck, and the worst he gets from the peanut gallery is a knowing smirk or an exasperated eye roll. No suspicious frowns, no disapproving glares, no pointed looks to quit acting like a queer before he gets them in trouble.

    The best part is how Steve always shivers a little, leaning into it as if he craves Bucky’s touch as much as Bucky craves to touch him, and fuck if Bucky doesn’t want to touch him so badly right now that his palms ache. Steve’s looking all casual but delicious in jeans and a tee, braced over a table and deep in conversation. Bucky wants to go and smack his ass with his metal palm to make him yelp. Bucky wants to slide an arm around his shoulder and watch his face go all soft and gooey. Bucky wants to sink his teeth into the bruise-yellow skin at his nape and make it bleed, then go a little higher, roll the mating gland under his tongue and feel it split beneath the power of his jaw —

    Summary

    “This is a great apology,” Steve says, sarcasm thick.

    “I already said I was sorry,” the man responds impatiently. He clearly regrets coming to make amends, and Steve’s own frustration is growing again. What is it about this man that just pushes every button Steve has?

    “Forgive me if I don’t feel the sincerity, ” Steve says. The man glares.

    “Take it or leave it.” He turns to leave again. Steve remembers his other dilemma.

    “How about instead of an apology, you extend my stay,” Steve says. The man stops walking.

    “What?” Bucky looks at him like that’s the last thing he expected him to say. Steve nods and then smirks.

    “For free. Two weeks.” They hold each other’s stare, Bucky’s eyes unforgiving. Steve has to school his face to hide his desperation, but he’s running out of money, and he can’t go back to New York.

    He hates how badly he wants to know what this guy’s deal is. They stare at each other for a whole minute. The air is crisp and tense.

    “One,” Bucky says and then gets in his car and leaves.

    OR

    Steve runs away to Nantucket where he meets a very angry, very closed off baker who doesn't know how badly he wants to be loved until Steve shows him.

    Summary

    After being chemically castrated for the entirety of his time as Hydra’s Winter Soldier, Bucky is attempting to recover his life—with the help of his oldest and best friend—when seventy years of a denied libido suddenly comes raging back in a series of graphic hallucinations. Steve is there to help.

    (Or: Bucky Barnes’s dick wakes up after a seven-decade nap. It is very interested in Steve Rogers.)

    Summary

    Bucky stomps his way to a stop in front of Steve. Steve looks up at him and smiles. His flat glare is all Winter Soldier, chilling to the bone, but the restless clench of his fists is Bucky. So is the stubborn set to his jaw when he demands, “Let me scent you.”

    Without waiting for an answer, he begins to strip off his gear and set it in orderly rows on the coffee table. Derringer, holster, SIG, holster, mag-pouch, IFAK, Skorpion, belt, vest —

    Steve’s eyebrows steadily rise. Surely, he thinks, Bucky hadn’t brought all those grenades for him. Bucky’s glare turns murderous when he notes Steve’s bland amusement, but by the time he’s done, dressed down to a t-shirt and cargos, he still hasn’t moved from his expectant spot in front of him, so Steve gathers up his wits and says, “Uh, sure, Buck. If you want.”

    And then, without any pomp or ceremony, he’s got a lap full of serum-enhanced super-soldier.

    or: Bucky’s memory leads him astray sometimes, but it works out just fine in the end.

    Summary

    “‘S okay. It don’t have to mean nothing,” Bucky said, trying to convince himself as much as Steve. “‘S just rutting. Just a bit of rutting.” 

    His lips were so dry, his mouth too, and his throat, but the rest of his body felt like hot languid liquid was flowing through it. Steve swallowed, licked his lips. Maybe Steve’s mouth was dry too?

    One hot summer, when Bucky and Steve are fifteen, the line between their friendship and something new that Bucky can’t quite name blurs. It is only years later that the line disappears completely and Bucky can finally put a name to that something.

    Summary

    “What is all this?”

    “Keys to Steve’s place in Brooklyn, and his motorcycle. Some records about his, ah, accounts and things. He—well, he hasn’t been declared officially dead, we can’t, you know, say anything about the time travel, but—”

    “He’s not coming back,” says Bucky, before Banner has to try to couch it softly, or spare Bucky’s assumed feelings. It’s a courtesy Bucky doesn’t need. His feelings have seemed very far away since Steve left. “I know.”

    "Yeah, so, uh, I just figured you should have all this."

    Bucky is doing fine after the Blip. He has his amends, he has his exit strategies, he goes to therapy. Steve's gone, but that's fine, Bucky can deal with that, even if he can't deal with feeling like a ghost in the apartment that Steve left behind. But when Steve returns, they'll both have to deal with how to rebuild a friendship and a home that are haunted by the ghosts of who they used to be. Their methods of doing so are perhaps less than ideal, what with how they involve more sex and stealthy surprise interior decoration than any actual communication. Maybe that's all they need to make a new home together.

    “James and Steve. If I have to tell you one more time to stop talking, you will be separated. Do you understand?”

    Bucky stares up at Mrs. Wheatley with the face that gets him out of trouble when his ma is in a good mood. Steve becomes suddenly fascinated with his correction work. It would have been convincing enough, if their papers weren’t blank.

    Or: Steve and Bucky make up a secret language

    “Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.” - Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

    Summary

    It’s a love story: a story about Loki learning to love himself, to love Mobius, and to believe himself worthy of being loved by Mobius in return.

     

    “Is that going to be a problem, Father Laufeyson? That I’m gay?”

    The question was an obvious one; not even all of his own parish had accepted the Church’s revised approach to homosexuality. Most assumed anyone within the Church, especially those in the priesthood, felt the same.

    The response fell easily from Loki’s tongue. Words he’d heard himself all his life. Words he’d told himself in his most self-loathing moments.

    “God loves all His children.”

     

    A new reverend, a Father Mobius, comes to town and upends everything Father Laufeyson believes about himself.

    Summary

    Loki has been at this for centuries, reliving the same moments over and over again in a desperate attempt to change the future. He needs a break, just long enough to have a brief mental breakdown over the tragedy that is his life.

    He pauses time, but somehow, Mobius finds him anyway. With emotions running high, he says a few things he probably shouldn't. But, in his defense, it's not like Mobius is going to remember that Loki has fallen so hopelessly in love with him.

    Except... he does.

    Summary

    “How many dates is this?” Verity asks, idly. “At some point, don’t you have to start wondering if he’s the problem, not the dates.”

    “Thank you for your input, Vee,” Mobius sighs. “Don’t you have some tables to check up on? Or...”

    He loses his train of thought as the man at the table leans forward languidly like a cat, resting his elbows on the table and gifting his current date with a Cheshire smile. A finger decorated with two thin gold rings above the middle knuckle traces around the edge of the highball glass suggestively and a lock of raven’s wing black hair falls out of his stylishly messy top knot and across his face.

    Mobius wonders why someone like that feels the need to work so hard for attention, but the guy in the polo shirt with the perfect teeth sitting across from him barely seems to appreciate it so maybe that’s why. Mobius sure as hell is having a hard time looking away. The slit in that skirt is probably going to kill him before the night is over.

    OR

    Mobius works at the bar that Loki brings all his first dates to. None of them go well. Maybe someone needs a shoulder to cry on?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I like Mobius' and Loki's characterizations and their complimentary dynamics. Also, main duo does not (explicitly) get with other people during the fic which yayyyyy! Highly, highly, highly recommend.

    Fic is regularly updated once a month, at the beginning of the month. Chapters are impressively long and incredibly immersive. Author is friendly ^_^

    His coffee is always the perfect temperature. There is always an awning close by to shelter him from a sudden downpour. The radio never plays songs he doesn’t at least tolerate. Maybe if he had spent a life here, he would’ve known that wasn’t normal.

    Mobius adjusts to his life on the timeline. The timeline adjusts to Mobius.

    “Describe it to me. Not what it says on the label. How does it feel on your tongue?”
    Mobius swallowed. He felt his cheeks flush.
    “How does it… what?”
    “Wines have texture. Some are rich and full-bodied. Some leave your mouth feeling dry. Some feel like nothing at all. What does this one feel like?”
    Mobius looked down at his empty glass. His head felt fuzzy.
    “Definitely getting some fruity notes,” he said.

    “Come on. I’m terrible with this.”

    Mobius waves the dagger around wildly as if to prove his point.

    “That’s why you need to practice.” Loki steps forward, ducking under the swinging arc of the dagger, to adjust Mobius’s grip on the hilt. “Stop holding it like a toddler.”

    “You give knives to toddlers!?”

    “It’s a dagger and I got my first one when I was two and a half.”

    “Yeah, and your upbringing is the standard by which all should be measured.”

    Loki commits to teaching Mobius self-defense and gets a little more than he bargained for. (An alternate take on S2:E2 just for fun.)

    Summary

    “You’re always saying how you’re going to kill me,” Dazai murmured, his expression drifting for a long moment. Chuuya clenched his jaw, not entirely liking where his partner was going with this.
    Then, Dazai’s eyes returned to Chuuya, fixing him with a tired honesty that had something in Chuuya’s chest twisting.
    “Would you do me a favour and fulfill that promise already?”

    (Or: Chuuya doesn't want Dazai to die. Dazai has a slightly different opinion on the matter.)

    Summary

    Dazai ends up in a coma after his most serious suicide attempt yet. He has left three letters, one of them being for Chuuya.

    Sitting at the bedside of his comatose body, Chuuya tries to understand.

    ______

    Dazai is falling. In the orange glow of sunrise, the waves of his hair are fanning around him, and his dark eyes are wide with fear and shock, his hand outstretched towards Chuuya. His bandages are unravelling all around him in the wind.

    Chuuya is not even thinking anymore. All he can see is that hand reaching for him as he launches off against the balustrade and falls after him.

    He uses his ability to make himself heavier, his own drop faster, his hand reaching for Dazai right back.

    It's only when he catches Dazai in his arms, holding his head tight against his own shoulder and trying to fly back up that he remembers; this won't work.

    He must have been really out of his mind to have forgotten it at all.

    Summary

    “Dazai, what the fuck is this?”

    Brown eyes, still cloudy, peered up at him as if the words hadn’t even been comprehended in Dazai’s mind. His head cocked to the side in a silent question and Chuuya moved to push Dazai’s leg up a bit further, bringing it into the light so they could both see properly.

    The near entirety of the skin was marred, of course, self-inflicted scars crisscrossing each other, old enough to have turned a faded white, but that wasn’t what he was focused on.

    The issue lay in a series of fresh ones. They were scarily recent, probably only a few days old at best, and scabbed over. None looked bad enough to have needed stitches but they were pretty damn close.

    Those hadn’t been there the last time they’d done this. In fact, nothing of the sort had been there any of the times they’d fucked since before Dazai left the Port Mafia.

    In which Chuuya and Dazai have been having casual sex for years and all of that is fine until Dazai relapses for the first time since leaving the Port Mafia.
