Stucky fic recs 2014-2015

@small-toads asked about bringing back the golden age of Stucky, which they wrote was 2014-15. I think that's a good idea, so I started listing what I collected.

This is not all of them. I have more when my shoulder feels better.

No particular order; please mind the tags on each work.

Snippet:

"You gotta bring him in, Cap." Tony Stark, distant: on speakerphone. "You can come in to me, or you can go to—well, I don't know who else is left. But you gotta bring him in."

Captain Rogers And Sergeant Barnes

By: Speranza

Thirty-Eight Days and Counting

By: thecommodore_squid (orphan_account)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/5516603

Summary:

It didn’t escape him that Steve shared his assumed last name. “Are you gonna be my cousin?” Bucky asked dully. Steve frowned. “Husband, actually,” he said easily, holding up his left hand to show a typical golden band. Bucky scowled and closed the door. AKA An AU in which Bucky is put in the witness protection program and Steve is the agent hired to protect him/pretend to be his husband.

By: L1av

https://archiveofourown.org/works/4275141

Summary:

Bucky decides to throw a pool party in celebration of Steve's birthday and Fourth of July. Cue the water gun fights, the grill out, the pool, one hell of a good lay, and Bucky thinks he's got himself a pretty good day. The domestic life sometimes has its perks. Especially when vibrators are involved.

Part 4 of Building From the Ground Up

A year and a half after the events of The Winter Soldier, Steve's been acting recklessly. Bucky deals with it as best he can. [This fic presents a self-contained story that can easily be read separately from the rest of the series.]

By: orphan_account

https://archiveofourown.org/works/4902697

New Words For Old Desires

By:CryptoHomoRocker

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1680566

Summary:

"After the dust settles, after Bucky is found and taken in and his brain is as fixed as it’s going to get, according to everyone who is paid to know about that kind of thing, there’s really no question of where he’s going to live." Or: Bucky uses unusual coping mechanisms, Steve pines in what he thinks is a very subtle way, and literally everyone else in the world is like GOD just KISS ALREADY.

To Live Again Is Past All Endeavor

By: trinityofone

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2622686

Summary:

Time travel bodyswap! Present-day Steve and Bucky wake up back in their old bodies in 1938, while past Steve and Bucky wake in a future where they're both built like comic book heroes and Bucky's got what he thinks is a swell future robot arm. Adventures are had, and the ethics of time travel are debated. Also, everyone trash talks Willem de Kooning.
