A/N: While I'm chipping away at my multi chapter fic, here's a little Shrunkyclunks AU I've always wanted to write! It's mostly 💫 vibes 💫 and unapologetic smut, with a bit of soulmates and angst thrown in the mix, too. Hope you enjoy! Endless thanks to the marvelous @sparkagrace for the beta help! ♥︎♥︎
Excerpt:
“That looks broken,” Bucky says, with a nod at the stranger's face.
“I’m fine,” the man glowers.
Bucky can't help but smile at his surliness. “Whatever you say, lone ranger.”
It takes another moment, but eventually, the cracks a tiny smile of his own. He wipes his hand on his faded jeans and holds it out to Bucky. “Steve,” he says.
Ignoring the residual blood, Bucky takes the proffered hand, which is big and warm. “Nice to meet ya, Steve,” he offers with a crooked grin. “Name’s Barnes. James Barnes. But of course, everyone calls me Bucky.”
Extended author's note under the cut for anyone who'd like to know more about the inspiration behind this one ♥︎
I've always loved 70s rock and classic country music (Eagles, America, Glenn Campbell, The Byrds, The Band, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah, Bread etc.) and been a little obsessed with the vibes of so many of the songs in these genres. A while ago, when I was listening to Peaceful Easy Feeling and heard the lyrics,
"I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight / With a billion stars all around"
&
"I get this feeling I may know you / As a lover and a friend",
and was inspired (possessed) to write a Shrunkyclunks AU, so… voilà. Bonus points to whoever can spot all the lyric references in this one lol.

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor

Headcanon where all of the Avengers assume that Bucky was the one who used to get Steve into trouble during the pre-war and war days, but within 3 days of Bucky joining the team they all realize that it is actually the exact opposite.
Hi Minnie! Do you or any of your followers have a stucky fic written the past one or two years or so that reeeaaaalllyyy stuck with you for one reason or another? I’m always the one who accidentally misses great fics until years later! (I’ve read lots of great new ones too and I’m so grateful for all of you amazing writers, but you know, considering my history surely there are lots more out there that I’ve just failed to find yet!) 😊
Hello sweetheart! What an excellent ask, thank you for this! 💕 I am also always missing out on masterpieces because I can't keep up or lose track of newly posted fic, so I really hope maybe some others might have additional recommendations that I haven't read yet and can go check out 👀
But as for me, here are a few that are fairly recent (not all from the last two years but ugh, time flies!) that I have loved and think about often! I am 10000% forgetting a whole bunch and for that I am sorry, I swear there are so many more that I just can't think of right this second, sorry!! But I hope you enjoy these ❤️
A whole bunch of fics by ZenaidaMacroura / @zenaidamacrouras1, like Unpredictable Synchronicity, Backhoe and History of American Capitalism and Only The Good Die Young
An Apple A Day by Squad of Cats / @norelationtoatticus (and I have also heard AMAZING things about their fic Operation: Gros Michel, which I am saving for when I have some time to properly binge it!)
I Wanna Live in the Hidden Parts of Your Skin by Voylitscope_speed / @voylitscope (and so many of their other fics, all of them are 10000 worth a read!)
I also think about Another Song, Another Spring by @somanywords allll the time, it's such a comfort fic for me!! Definitely check it out if you haven't yet.
Obsessed with everything @dharmasharks writes, but this one is recent and it was just so damn gorgeous! Tried to drift but don't know how
And the other day, I finally read Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico by RecoveringTheSattelites / @thisonesatellite which was just such a brilliant Western AU that I highly recommend! I have also heard amazing things about their most recent fic tomorrow never knows, that I have not read yet but am very much looking forward to!
Oh, and I also recently read There but for Fortune Go I by StrungoutonStucky / @onecontinuoussigh which was amazing and a fic l'll be thinking about for a long while!
So yeah, I am for SURE forgetting a bunch, but please feel free to add your favourites! 💞
(she/her). I like leisure, reading, music, movies, history, Captain America, & a bunch more.
