Stucky AUs Fic Recs Because Fuck You IW
galwednesday In the light of IW’s events that shall not be named, I put up a list of AUs that I hope will make you feel better. ❤
Stucky
How To Embrace A Swamp Creature by littleblackfox / @thelittleblackfox (Tentacle monster!Bucky)
Steve washes his hands with the sliver of soap left by the sink, and takes a long hard look at himself in the mirror.
The cut on his brow has scabbed over, and the bruises around his eye are blotchy red and sore to the touch.
Stupid.
His hands are no better, and he grips the edge of the sink to keep them from shaking. The scabs on his knuckles open up again, blood welling up starkly against his bone white fists. He holds them under the running faucet and watches the water circle the drain before pulling himself together.
Just a little bit further, a little bit longer
may the earth not receive thee by superhumandisasters / @superhumandisasters (varcolac!Bucky)
He turns lightning away from barns, he scares children away from unholy places, he keeps the old ghosts company after their names have been forgotten.
If the vârcolac had a grave, no one would visit. It is a forsaken place, and must stay forsaken.
~~~
After the helicarriers come down, the Winter Soldier flees to the Carpathian Mountains in search of silence, safety, and peace of mind. The vârcolac finds him first.
You Are My Lucky Star by superheroresin / @superheroresin (Aliens AU)
Final Report of the survey starship Hermes, Captain reporting. The other members of the crew, Dugan, Falsworth, Jones, Dernier, Morita are dead. Agent Peggy Carter survived, uninjured. Second Officer James Barnes remains in cryosleep due to life-threatening injuries. Cargo and ship destroyed. Our client, Johann Schmidt, executive curation officer for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation endangered the ship and crew while covertly attempting to smuggle a creature he referred to as The Hydra during our operation. Schmidt perished in his efforts. We should reach the Frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck, the Network will pick us up.
This is Steven Grant Rogers, one of three survivors of the Hermes, signing off.
tutorial by belovedmuerto / @belovedmuerto (High School AU for some shameless “let me teach you how to kiss”)
“I’m pretty sure I’m a terrible kisser,” Steve mutters, mostly to his pencil and paper.
Save a Horse, Ride a Captain by galwednesday / @galwednesday (Shrunkyclunks AU)
Bucky tapped him on the shoulder, swaying back and forth a little as he waited for the man to turn around. “Hello,” he said, and then promptly forgot what else he was going to say, because this guy was fucking beautiful. “Wow. Good face.”
Two of the guy’s friends, a man wearing a suit that fit so well it had to be bespoke and a man with a cute little gap between his front teeth, started cracking up. The petite redhead sitting next to them cocked her head to the side and pulled her phone out of her handbag. Beautiful Face just looked kind of pained, so Bucky redirected. He was a gentleman. He could take a hint. No hitting on beautiful guys who were uncomfortable with that sort of thing, no matter how lickable their jawlines were.
“Hello,” he repeated, doing his best to mind his manners. “I’m very sorry to bother you. Can I have a piggy-back ride?”
All of these yes! ☝🏼
Oh hey YOU recced tutorial! Thanks a bunch!

Bucky Barnes, Infinity War (2017)
According to this Tumblr post, Bucky’s new arm in Infinity War is pretty different from the one we saw in the previous movies. Apparently, it’s darker, with gold interlaced. Beautiful! A big thank you to the anon who brought this to my attention and to my followers who sent me reference pictures. (Photoshop CS6 – Painter 12)
