Here’s the list of everything the Mods have read this past month!

Mod Blue

Cake Walk by RockSaltAndRoll, Shortsighted_Owl

Steve Rogers runs a small bakery in Brooklyn with his friend Peggy. When his neighbours Natasha and Sam announce that they are getting married, Steve is immediately commissioned to make the wedding cake. He’s more than thrilled, but gets more than he bargained for when asked to co-ordinate with Bucky Barnes - Natasha’s highly attractive and charming wedding planner.

Rewind, Repeat by SomeWaywardDaughter

Another failed double date, and Steve walks home alone. He’s not jealous, honest. He’s just tired of being the scrawny kid that no one likes.

Steve Rogers: Reverse Wingman by AllonsyHelen

Contrary to popular belief, Bucky Barnes will not go home with any girl from Brooklyn to the Bronx. It only seems like that. However, he has standards. He has a signal. And most importantly, he has a reverse wingman.

If your bones made it home alright by caughtinanocean

Making it back from the war is not the same as making it back alive, but it’s a start. Mechanic AU.
The first day on the job, Bucky hits the ground every time an engine revs; his hands shake when he holds a wrench. But something about the grease and the smell of gasoline feels like home.

Unplugged by WaterandWin

A scifi AU with a fascist police state, a genetic caste system, a skinny young man who should not be alive for reasons too numerous to list, and the partially brainwashed assassin who shows up at his door in the middle of the night to send the world crashing down around his ears.

Put A Little Sugar In My Bowl by die_traumerei

Steve’s not doing bad. Not great, but he’s at least a mostly-not-starving artist. And then he meets Bucky Barnes.
Bucky Barnes has money. That’s unmistakable. Bucky Barnes is also funny, sweet, affectionate and loves art. And it’s not that the money thing doesn’t matter, because it does. But it might matter more that suddenly Bucky isn’t so lonely and doesn’t feel so weird about the things he loves, and suddenly Steve had the chance to do more, push himself further, and still come home at night to make dinner and make time with his lover.
And this is the story of how all of that happened; how Steve Rogers got himself a sugar daddy, and how Bucky Barnes fell in love, and how Steve Rogers fell in love right back, too.

Sugar Lips and Sinful Hips by TheFlailing

Bucky Barnes is a successful New York businessman, and at a glance, it looks like he’s got everything a man could want. But deep down, underneath the money and the pretty face, the truth is this: he’s lonely. Enter one Steven Grant Rogers: starving college student, just trying to make ends meet - and hot as fuck. Bucky desperately needs to be in his pants. And that’s all; nothing more. Right?

Roots Have Grown by AustinB

Bucky is a mildly agoraphobic veteran with funds to spare, who becomes enamored with the cute blonde guy in his building.
So when Steve mentions needing a roommate to cut down on rent costs, Bucky decides it would be a good idea to volunteer.

you’re spring to me by SD_Ryan

“Jesus.” Steve dives down, stealing Bucky’s breath with a kiss. Bucky slips his hand under the elastic and palms Steve’s ass, pressing close. He knows he’s just invited something he doesn’t wholly understand; he’s got absolutely no experience when it comes to sex with a guy. But he trusts Steve to take care of him—one way or another, it’s what Steve’s been doing for as long as Bucky’s known him.
When Bucky realizes his roommate’s brother has been hitting on him, he thinks maybe he can get on board with the idea.

what lies underneath by SD_Ryan

Bucky looked at himself in the mirror as he got ready, freshly showered and buzzing with excitement. He felt the slide of sheer fabric, admired the way it sat against his hips and cradled his cock. With long, lean limbs and coarse trails of hair, everything about him was masculine, everything except that unexpected burst of red. He looked good, he thought with a blush. He hoped Steve would think so, too. He ran his hands over the material, shivering in anticipation, then quickly stepped back into his jeans before he was tempted to take things further.
Bucky stumbles onto the perfect Christmas present for Steve.

Sugar Sugar (series) by geneticallydead

The first time Steve sees Bucky Barnes, he knows he is so fucked.
He can’t be older than 20.
Golden skin and grey eyes with sinfully long eyelashes, a chaotic nest of gelled curls on his head, wearing an almost-transparent grey t-shirt paired with impossibly tight black jeans over his endless legs. He looks up when Steve comes into the lab – summoned by Tony to check out the latest suit redesign – and bites down on his plush lower lip and smiles shyly at Steve.
So, so fucked.
OR
Bucky wants to be Steve’s sugar baby, and isn’t exactly shy about it.

Sugar Sweet by ColorCoated

“What’s your name?” It wasn’t even a line. He was just pretty and Bucky wanted a name to go with that face. With that strong jawline. With those deep blue eyes.

A little smirk, “Steve.”
Awww, Steve. He looked like a Steve.

Bucky pursed his lips in a way he hoped was attractive, “You should buy me a drink.”
______

College Student Bucky finds himself immediately attracted to Steve. He knows that Steve’s a bit older than him, and that Steve himself is put off by the age difference… But that doesn’t stop Bucky from wanting to climb him like a tree.

AKA a Sugar Daddy AU that no one was asking for.

Scenes From A Marriage: Hazy Days of Winter by Speranza

This is the 4 Minute Window Advent calendar for 2017 (can you believe it?) As always, my goal is to do a bit of the story every day (knock wood) between the Immaculate Conception and Christmas. Explicit eventually, the rest as it comes. Feel free to send me your hopes and dreams if there’s something you want to see in this ‘verse and I’ll do what I can (if it fits and makes sense). Hope you enjoy: buckle up! LATE BREAKING NEWS: Bonus!!- this series will feature art by the magnificent Alby Mangroves!

All Lit Up by rooonil_waazlib

“When did you get home?” Steve asked, climbing onto the bed and crawling over to Bucky, throwing a leg over him and settling in his lap, ungainly like a baby deer. He pressed a wet kiss somewhere in the vicinity of Bucky’s mouth and sat back to pet at his stubble. “Why didn’t you text me? You could have come and joined us. Thor brought the good stuff.”

undersell, overcommit by silentwalrus

Steve goes so hard for Bucky that he becomes a licensed, practicing massage therapist.

A Beautiful Gift, A Pretty Package by Quarra

It’s Christmas Eve and Bucky has a very special gift for Steve. He’s nervous as hell though, because this is something new for both of them.

The Good, The Buns, and The Dirty by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen)

Bucky knew the apartment wasn’t much to look at but, however old and rundown it might be, it was his.
His apartment. His place. His.
Unfortunately that also made the neighbour his neighbour. Bucky hadn’t started out thinking that way. No, he’d originally been pretty happy about tall, blond, and built, with his sunshine smile and sparkling blue eyes, who lived down the hall. But that was before Bucky found out he was a creeper.
(AKA homonyms are important and you can never have too many ~~double~~ single entendres.)

A Goddamn Winter Wonderland by PR Zed (przed)

Steve really shouldn’t have even attempted the drive. Not with a major snowstorm on the way. Not when his thirteen-year-old car had broken down three times this month and his snow tires should have been replaced two years ago. But when he’d moved to Buffalo, he’d promised his mom he’d make it back to New York for Christmas at least.
Driving home for the holidays, Steve runs into a blizzard and another stranded traveller. But what starts off as a good deed could end up being so much more.

Every world in every way by Ediblecrayon

Bucky wasn’t mad. Really, he wasn’t.

Adventures of The Christmas Cat by SMDarling

It’s cold in Brooklyn when Steve Rogers rescues a very special cat from a tree.
The cat decides to return his kindness by finding the only thing Steve wants for Christmas - Bucky Barnes.

I’m Beggin’ You for Christmas (Cookies) by emphasisonem

“Is there nothing I can do to convince you not to ban me from Christmas cookies?” Steve asks, batting his eyelashes. “Because - and I don’t know if I’ve stressed this enough in the past - you make the best cookies, sweetheart.”
“Flattery will get you nowhere, Rogers,” Bucky replies, but his voice is a little breathier as Steve’s fingers trail down his cheek.

Bracketed by glim

Wherein Steve and Bucky decide to move in together, and then decide to let themselves fall in love at last.

Ephemeral Style by emij1s

Bucky welcomes Steve home in the way only a sleep deprived, slightly ill college student can.

sleeping lessons by glim

During the Fall Semester of 2012, Steve Rogers audits a Modern US History course.

The accidental series by obsessivereader

These are all standalone fics inspired by the accidental tag in AO3 because accidental shenanigans are best shenanigans

Effects of Obliteration by geneticallydead

Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the Winter Soldier was sent to the American arm of Hydra - only there was a malfunction in the cryo-unit that meant it couldn’t be opened, and it was left, powered but abandoned, in an underground base.
25 years later, the Avengers find it.

love me true by kblaze2

two guys in love and their dog

lift me up by greenbergsays

Steve worries that Bucky preferred his smaller, more Omega-appropriate body to the new, bigger, more Alpha-like body of Captain America.
Bucky finds that thought utterly ridiculous.
