Not Another Supersoldier Fantasy (16462 words) by triedunture
Fandom: Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers
Characters: James "Bucky" Barnes, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Bruce Banner, Sam Wilson (Marvel), Jarvis (Iron Man movies), Thor (Marvel)
Additional Tags: Romantic Comedy, Friends to Lovers, Unrequited Love, Bisexual Character, Asexual Character, Trans Character, Deaf Clint Barton, Mental Health Issues, Sex Toys, Dildos, Masturbation, Bottom Steve Rogers, Second-Hand Embarrassment, Post-Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Summary: Bucky finds a popular sex toy modeled on Captain America's own anatomy. Well, isn't this just perfect? Because even after all this time, he still hasn’t seen Steve’s supersoldier cock. But apparently in this day and age anyone with $29.95 can get a decent replica. The unfairness of this is of galactic proportions.
Why you should read this: this is hilariously awesome. there were some really great lines in there, and this type of bucky is one of my favourite types of bucky. i was a little meh on the ending (i would've preferred it to go another way than it did), but it's still really great. read it if only for the travelling dildo and deaf!clint (deaf!clint is my favourite have you noticed).


we're all in the mood for a melody (and you've got us feeling alright) (11995 words) by laughtershock
Fandom: Skyfall (2012), James Bond (Craig movies)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: James Bond/Q
Characters: James Bond, Q (James Bond), Eve Moneypenny, Bill Tanner
Additional Tags: Drunkenness, bartending, pianist!Q, Alternate Universe
Summary: "I was just thinking, you look like you give great fellatio," Q explains, because it isn't like he was staring to be weird or anything, only then Bond fumbles the glass he's holding and nearly spills brandy down his front.

(The one where Q plays piano at the hotel where Bond bartends, and the combined powers of alcohol and Billy Joel induce a reluctant, clumsy love story.)
Why you should read this: you know when you read something and you just smile and go YES because everything is right and perfect and good? i've been in such a good mood since i finished this. it's not lie that AUs are my favourite, and this one is very good. funny and sweet and the interactions and characters are perfect. i'm sighing happily just thinking about this fic, guys. ♥

Cynics are Simply Thwarted Romantics (13746 words) by Reccea
Fandom: Captain America (Movies), Captain America - All Media Types, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers
Characters: James "Bucky" Barnes, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Bruce Banner, Sam Wilson (Marvel)
Additional Tags: True Love's Kiss, Magic
Summary: "It could be alien technology," Natasha offered, folding her arms over her chest. "Something he stumbled on. They're still finding things from the Chitauri so it's not impossible. But the simplest answer is the most likely."

"How is magic the simplest answer?" Stark asked.

Or

In which Steve is Sleeping Beauty and true love's kiss doesn't have to be requited. Or does it?

Why you should read this: i read this this morning in bed as an excuse to not have to get up yet and i'm still smiling. it's cute and hilarious and jabs at some fandom tropes in a very loving, non-malicious way. bucky is adorable. this is not a fairytale AU, rather, some villain is throwing out fairytale style curses at people. it's great.

Prompt: #53 - "I want warm summer nights, to lie in a hammock, staring at the stars, telling you stories.

Why you want to read this: comic! Sad comic! The kind of AU you love because it makes you cry but at the same time you want MORE. Yes. (Hooker!au. also known as one of my ultimate weaknesses.)
