NEXT GAY LITTLE ROAD TRIP FIC IS OUT Y’ALL

I decided to give the boyos a break from worrying profusely about Miguel this chapter and just let them do some Goofy Dumb Shit XD No trauma in this one, but don’t worry!!! It’ll be back!!! You can only escape the angst for so long >:D

Shout-out to @xgardensinspace for informing me that you don’t pump your own gas in Mexico, and sometimes, sadly, there is a bathroom fee XD Thanks to my buddy, y’all now get to have AUTHENTIC Homoerotic Road Trip fanfiction!!! No need to thoroughly fact-check me now, as I’m sure everyone was doing :P

Also shout-out to the Binary Boyfriends discord, because if I hadn’t been throwing dumb little ideas around in there and getting hearts on them I probably never would have amalgamation of vague concepts and scenes into an actual fic XD

F in the chat for the station attendant, he’s just tryna vibe at his place of work and then these two hammy dramatic gays drive in and start scaring all the customers away with their antics. RIP

As always, moodboard pic credits available upon request!

Here is Chapter 1! It’s also on my AO3 page, SummerPhlox!

Here is Chapter 2, AKA the Super Mega Angsty One!

Fic under the cut! This one is only 3kish words long, so a little shorter than the first two! Not as much of a commitment :D No real content warnings here, except that they do do some joking about sexual stuff XD As is standard protocol for teenage boys, of course!

Gas Station Proposals

Demetri leans against the side of the car, feeling the hot metal even through thick jean shorts. A dusty breeze brushes over his arm, and he makes a face.

He wonders if he’s going to develop asthma, constantly breathing in all this sand and dust and dirt—and whatever the hell else is in the desert wind—whenever he and Eli stop for gas. He hopes not, as that would mean he would have to join Eagle Fang Karate. Johnny Lawrence is, unfortunately, currently the only known man who can cure asthma instantaneously.

Demetri still doesn’t fully buy that Sensei Lawrence chucking Miguel’s inhaler across the room magically erased a medical condition, but Demetri also hasn’t seen his friend have any breathing problems since Miguel started karate. So perhaps Sensei Lawrence’s training counts for something.

A loud thump tells him the gas tank is filled up. He hears the gas station attendant pull the nozzle out and slot it back into the dingy, miscellaneous-filth-stained pump. At least in Mexico, you’re not the one who has to put your fingers all over a germ-coated gas nozzle that’s already been touched up by god-knows-who passing through the middle of nowhere.

The station attendant circles around the car, and Demetri slips him a few pesos. Demetri is about to climb back in when something in the dirt catches his eye.

Demetri breaks into a slow grin. He leans down, snapping off a souvenir just as he hears Eli’s footsteps behind him.

He turns to see his friend strutting over from the convenience store, his arms loaded with gas station snacks. “Got the loot!” he calls out.

Demetri raises his eyebrows. “You know you can ask for a bag, right?”

“Bags are for the weak,” Eli says scornfully. “Besides, I haven’t been training. How else am I supposed to keep up my upper body strength?”

“Maybe something a little more dignified?”

Already, Eli Moskowitz is starting to sag under the vast weight of the food. Bags of chips are haphazardly crinkling against one another, and various boxes and packages of candy are sliding precariously around on top of the heap. A bottle of Mountain Dew plummets from the middle, and Demetri barely manages to catch it before it becomes another dust-covered addition to the gas station’s aesthetic.

Demetri holds back a snicker. “Do you, say, want me to get the door for you?”

“Absolutely not.” Eli gives him a steely glare.

“All right, tough guy.” He smirks. “Well, you might want to put all that down, because I have something important to ask you.”

“Demetri, I think I can handle being asked a question and holding a bunch of shit at the same time.”

“Very well, if that’s your decision.”

Demetri pulls out a small tangle of sticks from his back pocket, woven by nature into an almost perfect, messy little disk. He snaps a few twigs out of the middle and holds it out, sliding down onto one knee in the most melodramatic manner possible.

The gravel is jagged and sun-baked, torturous to feel both on his bare skin and through the denim of his shorts. No matter—a touch of terrible discomfort is worth seeing the full effect of what he’s about to do.

“Eli Moskowitz.” Demetri lifts cupped hands, presenting the little circle of twigs like it’s a sacred relic. “Would you do me the honor of taking this unidentified piece of desert flora and marrying me, even with Carreterra 15D Santa-Ana-to-Hermosillo as our only witness?”

“Is that—is that a piece of a tumbleweed?”

“No, weren’t you listening to anything I just said? It’s your engagement ring.”

Eli scoffs, although his blue eyes are gleaming with almost unrestrained delight. “You are cheap as fuck, Demetri Alexopoulos. A bunch of twigs? You could at least propose to me with a weird-looking piece of cactus or something.”

“You don’t like my ring?” Demetri gasps out in mock hurt. “And after I went to all those jewelers trying to find the perfect one! After I spent half my life savings to get you only the most high-quality dead sticks out there!”

It’s at that moment that the junk food in Eli’s arms decides to give way, cascading to the ground in a shower of processed flavors and empty calories. Eli grunts disapprovingly, marriage proposal forgotten as he gets down on his hands and knees to start gathering up the party-size Cheeto bags and rapidly-melting chocolate. Demetri crawls over to help him, although he can’t resist a gloat or two about how this would not have happened if Eli had opted for shopping bags.

They end up reaching for a bag of Cheetos at the same time, and Demetri’s hand somehow ends up on top of Eli’s. Seizing the opportunity, Demetri grabs his friend’s hand and slips the loop of twigs onto his ring finger before he can protest.

“There!” He grins connivingly. “I officiated it. You’re my fiancé now.”

“Get me a better ring, asshole. I’m dumping you.” Eli plucks off the makeshift stick-ring and tosses it across the parking lot.

Demetri gasps. “You wound me, Eli Moskowitz. I can’t believe you’d dump me before you’ve even asked me out.”

Eli curls his lip. “Yeah? Well, your proposal was just that bad.”

The taller boy can only tsk disapprovingly. “You just don’t appreciate quality engagement ring craftsmanship. What, did you want one of the Seven Rings of Power?”

His friend smirks as he gathers up as many spilled snacks as he can actually hold and stands up. “That would be nice, yeah.”

Demetri whistles, picking up the last of the junk food and walking to the driver’s side. “I would not trust you with a Ring of Power, buddy. I feel like you’d set half of Middle Earth on fire just for shits and giggles.”

As he climbs in the front seat and starts the car, Eli lets out a sigh beside him. Demetri can’t tell if it’s resigned or frustrated, but it probably doesn’t make much of a difference.

“I got something for you, too.”

“Well, I hope so. I sent you in there to feed us. I was kind of expecting you’d leave some processed empty calories for your poor, exhausted driver.”

“I offered to take over driving, ass!”

“Oh, I know. I just want the pity points.”

Something bangs into Demetri’s side, and there’s a rattling as a box of candy plummets onto his seat. He glances down and lets out an offended gasp.

“Rainbow nerds?”

“Yeah. Seemed appropriate.” Eli breaks into the huge, devilish smirk that Demetri’s come to half-dread these days. Better than the full-dread of the Days of Old, but still indicative of definite trouble coming.

“It’s the perfect candy for you, Demetri.”

Demetri scoffs. “Are you—are you insinuating I’m anything other than a perfectly normal heterosexual?!”

“Dude. You asked me to marry you like…not even 10 minutes ago. That’s not very straight.”

Demetri rolls his eyes. “To quote Charlie Kelly and Frank Reynolds, we’re both men. We’d be two cool straight dudes married together. Two dudes getting married isn’t very gay.”

Eli hums disapprovingly. “You did also make out with me twice. And I mean. You cuddled me the entire night, too.”

Demetri scoffs again. “Uh, if I remember correctly, Mr. Moskowitz, all of that was your idea. And I saw you get excited when I brought up Doctor Who—you can’t fool me. So I think it’s only appropriate we share the rainbow nerds.”

Eli groans. “Don’t flatter yourself. I kissed you because I thought it would help us feel better.”

“Ah, yes! Cheering yourself up by tongue-dueling with another guy and caressing all over his scrawny little body. How very straight of you.”

“Didn’t we already establish that all that stuff didn’t count, anyways?!”

“Oh, so it counts as gay when I propose to you, but not when you gleefully kiss me silly and hold me all night in your big, strong arms?! How does that work?”

“Uh…because you had witnesses?” He glances over to see Eli giving him a look implying his point should be obvious. “There were at least like…6 people who saw that stunt you just pulled. No one can ever prove I fooled around with you on top of the car.”

“And in the car.”

“And in the car,” Eli admits. “Point is, I’m betting that gas station had security cameras watching the parking lot, so you’re the only one who can be proven, with evidence, to be a rainbow nerd.”

“Well, nice try, but I don’t recall you actually saying no to my proposal.”

“I threw your stupid ring into the desert!”

“Yes, and told me to get a better one.” Demetri grins, victorious once again. “That’s not a ‘no,’ Eli. That’s a ‘maybe later.’”

“Whatever,” Eli mumbles, as callously as he can. Demetri knows that tone—it’s the tone Eli uses when he doesn’t want to admit defeat.

Sadly, the man has always been a sore loser. Even more sadly, Demetri tended to win at most things before karate came into the picture.

Demetri can tell that Eli Moskowitz is upset about being outdone again.

A loud crinkling sounds beside him, followed by noisy crunching. “You want some Cheetos?”

This is the closest Demetri’s going to get to a surrender.

“I’d love some. But pass me a napkin too. I don’t think my mom wants orange dust all over her car.”

Eli scoffs. “God. You’re such a neat freak.”

Nonetheless, he complies. Demetri is offered not just an open bag of Cheetos, but also a generous 3 paper towels.

***

“Okay, I’m pulling over here. I need to pee.”

Eli responds with a long groan. “Dumbass. I told you not to down that entire bottle of Mountain Dew.”

Demetri takes a hand off the wheel for a second to wave it about in exasperation. “Well, how else was I supposed to prove I was a true gamer?! I had no choice!”

“We’re not even gaming, Demetri! You’re not proving shit.”

“I think you’re just upset that I proved I was a superior gamer to you. I’m willing to fully commit to the lifestyle.”

“All you proved is that your bladder sucks.”

“Not nearly as much as your attitude.”

Eli huffs. “Suck my dick, Demetri.”

“Oh, you’d love that, wouldn’t you?”

Eli’s fist plunges into Demetri’s arm just as he pulls into the gas station parking lot. He sticks his tongue out at his friend before climbing out of the car.

Tragically, the bathroom smells as though someone’s jalapeño-zested burrito didn’t travel very smoothly through their digestive system, and the searing midday heat does not help matters. The restroom fee only adds insult to injury—Demetri can’t help but think the gas station staff should pay him 5 pesos to come in here.

He glances at some scruffy brush nearby, wondering if it’s secluded enough for a quick vomit. Something green lying in the sand next to it catches his eye, and his nausea is quickly forgotten.

He breaks into a grin.

***

“Eeeeeeeli!”

Demetri raps on the passenger window, leaning suavely against the outside of the car. Eli opens the door to frown at him. “What?”

“Get out of the car.”

Eli’s frown deepens. “What the hell? It’s like a million degrees out.”

Demetri smirks. “Stop being such a baby. We’re parked in the shade, you’ll be fine. Just do it.”

“Fine.” With the world’s most dramatic eyeroll, Eli unbuckles his seatbelt and steps out onto the dirt.

Demetri throws subtlety to the wind and plummets down onto one knee again. With as much flourish as he can manage, he reaches into his back pocket and whips out what he’s pretty sure was once a chunk of beavertail cactus.

It’s a bit on the mangled side, but Demetri isn’t complaining. Some desert creature did him the courtesy of chewing off the exterior and removing all the pesky spines. Probably ate the flower, too—only a tiny piece of a bright pink petal remains. The little cactus scrap is still pretty tough, but it has just enough rotten spots to easily poke a hole through the middle.

“Eli Moskowitz.” Demetri holds out the cactus piece and projects like he’s delivering a soliloquy. They’re still in the middle of nowhere—he doesn’t give a fuck who hears. “Do you take this weird piece of cactus I found to be my lawfully wedded husband, even with…” He scrunches his face for a moment, trying to remember what he read on the GPS. “…Carreterra 15 Hermosillo-to-Ciudad-Obregón as our only witness?”

He glances to the side and sees his display has gathered quite the crowd. Gas station patrons are stopping on their way in and out of the Food Mart to giggle and snicker, eager for a good show in this vast stretch of boring nothingness. It isn’t many, but at least a handful of people seem genuinely invested in how this scene is going to play out.

The Eli from two years ago would hate the attention. He would hunch into himself, eyes darting all over the ground and staying where they couldn’t accidentally meet any human being’s gaze. He would cling to Demetri’s arm and mumble anxiously and beg on the verge of tears for them to leave immediately.

Demetri is reminded very loudly and very ferociously that this is not the Eli from two years ago.

“Oh, Demetri!” Eli surges forward, clasping Demetri’s hands like they haven’t seen each other in over a decade. “I’ve never wished for anything more in all my life! What took you so long?!”

“I had to wait for the perfect moment, my dearest love!” Demetri lets Eli pull him to his feet, lifting up a hand as though to beckon to an unseen stagehand in an unseen catwalk.

“So many agonizing years! Of thinking and thinking and thinking you’d never ask!” Eli wails, clutching his chest. “How could you? How could you? All I ever did was worry you didn’t really love me!”

Demetri certainly wasn’t expecting Eli to play along this hard, but far be it from him to gripe about it.

“Well, wait no longer!” Demetri slips the hollowed lump of cactus onto Eli’s finger, watching as it leaves a sticky, dark green trail in its wake. “We shall be married in the morning!”

Without warning Eli grabs his waist and hoists him into the air, spinning him around with alarming ease. He’s reminded of Valley Fest, and how awestruck he was when Eli dragged him onstage without even breaking a sweat.

It’s strange to think it was only about a year ago. It feels more like several lifetimes.

We were different people back then.

“Oh, but Eli!” Demetri gasps in mock horror as soon as Eli puts him down. “What of the caterers? I forgot to order any!” He puts his hand to his forehead and begins to theatrically collapse.

He knows it’s bad to get as much satisfaction as he does when Eli catches him.

“And our best man is lost in Mexico City!” Eli gapes down at him. “The wedding is ruined!”

“Miguel!” Demetri howls out the name, using the hand not still pressed to his forehead to clutch dramatically at the sky. “How could you do this to us?”

Eli’s reply is cut short by and angry huffing, and Demetri turns his head to see a very irked station attendant storming over, abandoning the car next to them. He shouts at them in a thick accent to “please take their Shakespeare elsewhere.”

Eli breaks out laughing before his face falls into the ghost of a meek, apologetic smile—a look Demetri hasn’t seen in a long time, he realizes.

He used to be ashamed of the space he took up. Now, he wants to occupy as much as possible.

Demetri doesn’t mind. It’s nice to see him shine, see him embrace the manic energy he’s always had and the joy of being loud and over-the-top and shamelessly insufferable.

Granted, Demetri was not a huge fan of the manic energy when it was being utilized to stalk him through computer labs and such, but Eli was putting it to much better use these days.

“Sorry, sorry,” Eli says. “We’ll go.”

He lifts Demetri to his feet, and Demetri tries once again not to focus on how sturdy and strong his arms have become. The attendant stalks back to the other car, muttering something about turistas odiosas.

Eli threw an arm around Demetri and gave his shoulder a couple quick shakes. “All right, I’ll give it to you. That was pretty fun.”

Demetri tries his damndest not to think about how warm Eli’s touch is. He tries not to think about how even though it’s approaching 100 degrees, it somehow still feels nice.

Demetri leans into Eli’s touch, savoring the moment as much as he can. “What made you have a change of heart?”

“Well, the ring was a lot better. Besides.” He turns to face Demetri, breaking into an enormous shit-eating grin. “I realized how many people we could piss off if he hyphenated our last names.”

“An 8 syllable surname?” Demetri’s eyes widen. “You are a monster, Eli Moskowitz. But I kind of love it.”

Eli cackles. “It would take people like…5 years to type our names on letters. Or write it on forms. They’d probably always be running out of space, too. It’d be so fucking funny.”

“You may just be a certified genius.” Demetri slaps his back, smiling proudly. “I would love to be an annoyance with you for the rest of my life.”

His friend looks at him and scowls playfully. “Oh, please. I’d like to see you even try to get on my level.”

“Maybe not right now, though.” Keeping his hand on the small of Eli’s back, Demetri turns them around and starts steering his friend back toward the car. “Wouldn’t want to get banned from this Podunk little gas station, on the off-chance we need to stop here on the way back.” Eli huffs, but doesn’t fight his grip.

“After you, dear,” Demetri purrs, opening the passenger side door.

“Ah, shit.” Eli makes a face. “Please don’t tell me just because I’m your pretend-fiancé now you’re going to treat me like I’m helpless.”

“Oh, no. I’m only going to pretend to. And then when no one’s looking…”

Demetri glances around, making sure most of the gas station patrons have moved on with their days. He shoves Eli roughly into the car, and the other boy lets out a squawk as he smacks his thigh into the seatbelt buckle.

“Ow! You ass!”

Demetri pouts down at him. “That’s what you get for complaining about me being a gentleman.”

Eli flips him off, but a smile is tugging at his mouth.

Demetri circles the car, climbing into the driver’s seat. The station attendant watches him with an iron stare as he pulls away, daring him to come back for more theatrics.

“Okay, but which of our names do we put first?” Eli pipes up as Demetri pulls out onto the highway.

He considers.

“Moskowitz,” he says after a pause. “Definitely Moskowitz. It would subconsciously bother people that they weren’t in alphabetical order. Besides, it would trick people into thinking they only have to deal with one somewhat-difficult-to-pronounce last name, and then we hit them with the worse one.”

Eli barks out a laugh. “Oh, my god. You fucking evil maniac. Do you promise?”

Movement catches the corner of Demetri’s eye, and he glances over to see Eli resting his elbow on the console box, arm poised to start their handshake.

Demetri laughs lightly, something quivering in his chest. He slips a hand off the steering wheel and clasps Eli’s.

“Yeah. Yeah, I promise.”

It’s only after planning the most irritating aspects of their married life and arguing over what color suit they should make Miguel wear to the wedding and making fun of several particularly stupid-looking saguaros that Demetri realizes Eli never actually let go of his hand after they shook on their hyphenated last name pact.

Well, no matter—driving down a long, straight highway one-handed is not exactly an impossible task.

When they get to Baugo, Eli offers Demetri a handful of Rainbow Nerds. Demetri gladly accepts.

do you have any hidden gem larry canon fics? i love love love canon 1d

ME, TOO! Hmmm, hidden gems, though--maybe you mean newer?? Or maybe some you don't see rec'd all the time? I'll just give some of my faves (my very fave deleted, and with good reason), and I'll make a note if the author is one to check out because in several cases, these authors have done a LOT of other great canon fics, and as ever, I resolve to avoid scroll rage. Hope some of them are new to you!

Help! (I Need Somebody), orphan_account, 2.2k. I'm always stunned when someone has the skill to pack so much into something so short, every word a gift.

Us, Me, We, homosociallyyours, 2.3k. I can't decide what I love more, the drug exploration or the gender exploration or just what a wonderful trip of a fic this is just in general.

No Control, thegirlwthekittentattoo, 2.6k. THE BRA'S NAME KILLS ME EVERY SINGLE TIME, but just the entire flirting via Rolling Stone cover vibe of it all, too.

She Feels So Good, zedi, 4k. Not just one but two fics in this series from this author, both of 'em worth reading for sure!

Fertile Ground, Blake, 4.4k. LISTEN, words fail me when I think about this fic, about Blake's mind, about how I was just hangin' out with them on Tuesday, what is life???? This fic! That is life! Every other one, too!

mon petit, little one, publunchesownmyass, 5.6k. There are at least three (3) great fics about this chick sweater, and this might just be my fave--but read everything else from this author, too!

Google Says Cut That Out, LittleMousling, 6k. Louis out there, googling his kink negotiation, another author where it pays to read everything they've written in this fandom/anywhere.

my one and own (i wanna get you alone), beautlouis, 6k. This is a truly arbitrary pick because I adore everything this author has written, canon or not, do yourself a favor, read 'em all.

Only Thing That Can Quench My Thirst, eyesofshinigami, 6.5k. PUBE FIC, the one that inspired the pubefest, Harry's grooming habits on late-era tour, but this author also wrote a great one about younger Harry losing his diary that's worth a gander, too.

Everything You Do, jishler, 6.6k. THIS AUTHOR, every single installment in this series levels up, that subscribe button pays for itself!!

let the only sound be the overflow, sarcasticfluentry, 7.6k. The zipper fic! I will never watch the clothespin interview or see a gif of it without thinking of this one, the power of this author! But also, everything else they wrote--CHEF'S KISS!

One day to believe in you, mediaville, 7.7k. Probably the second fic I read in this fandom, AIMH, and it reads like a movie, sounds like a song, etc. etc. (another author to dig deep AND sideways into, too).

stop the world ('cause i wanna get off with you), devilinmybrain, 12k. I wanna say this author wrote a great jealousy fic recently, too, but this was a five times fic, and I'm a total whore for those, I'll tell you what.

Temporary Tattoos, Hotel Hearts, Horizon Homes, Teumessian, 17k. It's a toss up between this gorgeously done time travel fic, where fetus Louis meets up with a literal vision from his future and Nothing You Can Do..., aka, the pinterest fic, but wow, gold x2.

Losing Focus Every Time You Speak, abaddxns, 19k. I CANNOT GET OVER THIS FIC (or its moodboard), so current, so hot, so funny, so good!

Drifting, Weightless, dinosaursmate, 41k. The way I wanna die with how funny it is to think of a future One Direction reunion happening on a cruiseship, yet mildly plausible??? MAKES U THINK

Time Passed, coffinofachimera, 66k. This is it, folks, the be all end all, the way my heart THROBS over this fic, the journey it takes you on, the pain, the redemption, the joy, god. GOD. (also, this author wrote one of the chick sweater fics, the range!)

Summary: “If you move back to Brooklyn, we can pick up where we left off,” Bucky said.

“Where did we leave off?” Steve asked.

Bucky had an image in his head that had never dimmed in intensity. It was a closed door. The door in his childhood apartment, and Steve was on the other side of it, walking away down the hall. Confusion grabbed at his seventeen year-old heart. He had wanted Steve back as soon as he walked away, even though he understood the reasons for him leaving. Where Bucky wanted to pick up was to figure out that strain in his heart that came after the door shut, the one he hadn’t understood, and still didn’t.

“I don’t know,” Bucky admitted.

Steve wants Bucky’s help to solve the murder of Dr. Abraham Erskine. Meanwhile, Bucky wants to find out what happened to Steve after his mysterious disappearance at seventeen.

Summary: Bucky’s job was far from monotonous, but between his last mission being a complete bust and being taken off rotation for field work, he found himself with a lot more free time and little to do with it. But when strange events started to happen at SHIELD, he stumbled onto a conspiracy that could tear his whole world apart. Who was the man in the hospital gown that kept appearing out of nowhere? What was Shield hiding? And most importantly, who is Steve Rogers?

The man blinked, slow and heavy. His pale blue eyes didn’t seem to be seeing the world around him. “Joe?” Steve took the peroxide out of the man’s hands and shook his head. “I’m not –” “How’d you make it out?” Steve stilled for a moment before putting the peroxide aside and peeling back the man’s hoodie. The guy was delirious. “I thought Hydra killed you,” he murmured. Steve got one arm out of the hoodie, relaxing a bit at the man’s words. Whatever he’d been through, he wasn’t on Hydra’s side. “Fearless Captain Rogers. Course you made it out. Bet you kicked those Nazis right in the head.” Steve pulled back. Captain Joe Rogers? Joseph Rogers. That was his grandfather’s name. He’d died in World War II. This guy couldn’t possibly be talking about him.

–

Somewhere between the fall of Shield due to a long running Hydra infiltration, finding out that his land lord is an Avenger, and being commissioned for some truly gaudy paintings, Steve finds himself harboring the worlds most wanted.

Summary: The last thing Jeopardy producer Bucky Barnes needs is some asshole who passed the online test pretending to be Captain America and wasting his time. The last thing he expects is for the guy on the phone to turn out to be that Steve Rogers. There’s a popular expression that insists that stranger things have indeed happened, but Bucky’s pretty sure that this is the weirdest day of his life.

In which Steve Rogers starts watching Jeopardy as a fun way to learn about the things he’s missed, gets selected through the online test, auditions for the show and surprises the hell out of everyone. Especially one James Buchanan Barnes.

Summary: When Bucky Barnes decided to take a job with the TSA working nights at baggage claim, he fully anticipated his job to consist of answering dumb questions (“The luggage is behind you, sir”) and sitting on his uncomfortable chair while keeping an eye out for any suspicious behavior.

To his aggravation, however, once it was revealed that Captain America had arrived from the 1940s through ice-travel, Bucky’s routine starts to include “Villain Babysitter”, as wannabe villains begin coming through the airport in hopes of destroying Cap. As a point of professional pride, Bucky takes it upon himself to keep them from leaving the airport.

At least until someone above his pay grade can come by and deal with them.

He did not expect that someone to be Steve Rogers himself.

Steve, who for some reason, likes coming to the airport. Given that the man is a national treasure, from his smooth mouth to his patriotic ass, who is Bucky to argue?

If you wanna feel like a rockstar, you call Bucky Barnes, owner of Shining Star Karaoke and DJ Services. Bucky has gained faithful followers for making people feel like the main event. When different men with the same Dorito physique pop up at his gigs all over NYC, he isn’t sure if he’s just a magnet for gym bros or being pranked. Spoiler: The man in the uncanny disguises is on his own mission to sing any time, anyway, and any song he wants without being judged as Steve Rogers or Captain America.

Summary: Like many other war veterans, Bucky Barnes is alone. He doesn’t talk to his family, he has no friends and his only human interactions are with his cleaning crew from Avengers Tower. Plagued by nightmares and pain, he lives each day in isolation. Until the Avengers bring their fight at home and Bucky gets to meet the famous Captain America. To his surprise, both their lives change forever after that

Summary: Steve Rogers likes to visit his local coffee shop between missions, and it has nothing to do with the hot barista named Bucky…well, it maybe has a little to do with it. It’s just coincidence that Steve’s apartment is also directly opposite said barista’s apartment meaning Steve frequently has a full view of his living room.

It’s not spying, not really, and it turns out to be lucky, because one day he sees Bucky get knocked out. It’s up to Steve to save him…and then think of a reason why he saw Bucky get injured in the first place.

Summary: After SHIELD’s collapse, Steve comes back in New York. Without a war or crisis, he’s struggling to find his place in the world again. There’s time to relearn his city and time to wonder what he’s doing here.

When a mysterious guy hits on him on the subway, it’s a welcome interruption. Something resonates between the two of them, a connection neither of them try to deny. The trouble is that Barnes disappeared three years ago, and the more Steve learns, the more he wants to know.

But Barnes disappeared for a reason.

S__am rolls his eyes. “Yes, Steve, you could have a lead on a three year old mystery because you’re just that good, not because a random hipster flirted with you.”

“Well, when you put it that way,” Steve says.

Summary:

Steve’s spent an hour along Portobello Road before he sees the paparazzi on the left side of the street, trying to be inconspicuous by a street lamp. He crosses the street and ducks into the first store he sees, tucked behind a screaming red door and under a blue and white striped awning.

He listens, feet planted in front of the door, shoulders tense, as he looks around the shop. Row upon row of books are on the shelves in front of him, the wood creaking under their weight. Behind the counter is a dark haired man wearing a jacket, elbow on the table, stubbled chin on one hand, gloved left hand flipping the pages of a book.

No one follows Steve in.

———————–

Or, the one where Captain America travels the world, learns how to be Steve Rogers again, and meets Bucky Barnes along the way. Also: the one where two old souls fall in love over young adult books, long distance calls, and texting at strange hours of the day.

Lights burst in the black sky, in splashes of various flares, in red, white, and other colors. Awe aspiring and patriotic, loud, but so calming and majestic. It fills him with satisfaction as big as the sky, in those flowing and falling colors.]

Steve strove to be Right. To do Good. That was what his mom had told him second chances were for, and if he owed her memory to trying. Joining the police force, protecting people, was a natural decision to make. For Steve, it had always been black and white, good and bad. Special Forces team SHIELD embodied everything he stood for.

Except that there was Bucky. Bucky, who had disappeared for years. Bucky, who was a member of HYDRA, the organisation that was so black in its elusive, criminal endeavours as to epitomise. In an effort to haul his oldest and dearest friend from the snake pit while at once putting down the beast he’d fought to suppress for so long, Steve is struck by an unfortunate revelation: there exists a rather impressive field of grey that complicated things.

The world wasn’t nearly so simply black and white as he’d initially thought.

_“Bucky?” Steve repeated with a shake of his head. A least he knew what he could call the kid, but for goodness sake. He shook his head a second time. _“Geeze, a kid’s name for a kid.”

_Bucky looked a little offended and glared at Steve. His eyes narrowed and he pointed aggressively to his crown, “Not a kid.” _—– Workaholic Steve gives himself a night off and is immediately charmed by Bucky, who he meets at a nightclub. Steve is a bit put off by the age difference, and now he has to figure out how to start a relationship with the young guy who just passed out in his guest room.

Sarah nodded again, adjusting Steve’s blankets in preparation to keep moving. “And why do we think that he is so kind?” she asked playfully.

“His soulmate is Good and carries half of his Heart, so Saxon’s soulmate influences his heart into Goodness,” Steve answered dutifully. “And since Saxon has a Heart, it means that Saxon is a Soul and his Heart will live for as long as Saxon will.” Sarah nodded. Just as she was leaving, Steve piped up again. “Do you think that I’m a Heart? Do you think that I’m still alive because my Soul is still alive?”

Summary:

In 1926, when Steve’s friend Tony presents him with an interesting artifact from an ancient city that isn’t supposed to exist, Steve hopes his days as just a librarian might be over. The artifact leads him to Bucky, a mysterious man with a strange golden arm who was found in the desert with no memory. Steve and Bucky immediately feel a connection to one another that leads them on an adventure to discover the past and save the future. Together, they travel to Hamunaptra, the City of the Dead, unleash a cursed Mummy with a grotesque red face, and do everything in their power to stop him from destroying the world.

Notes: In the true spirit of the movie, very little about this fic is in any way historically accurate.

Summary: In 2018, Steve, Sam, and Bucky embark on a mission to explore a Hydra-owned warehouse when a kid with mutant powers sends Steve 18 years into the future. After figuring out where (and when) he is, Steve tracks Bucky down in 2036 to find he’s become a successful business owner and an impassioned advocate for mutant rights. Steve’s just as in love with Bucky as he was when he left, but for Bucky it’s been a long 18 years. It’s hard to accept when Bucky keeps him at arm’s length… but Steve’s never met a challenge that he didn’t take.

As he gets used to life in 2036 and the flaws in Bucky’s idyllic life expose themselves, Steve also has to manage a suspiciously ubiquitous security force, a Brotherhood of Mutants, and old competing loyalties among his aged friends. There’s a Bucky in 2018 waiting for him to come home, but if he does that, it means leaving this Bucky behind for a third, unforgivable time. How can he choose? What’s Bucky not saying? How can he face losing everything – again?

Sharing a life with a recovering Winter Soldier means never quite escaping what Steve sees as his biggest failure. When one of Tony’s machines functions differently than advertised, Steve is given an unexpected opportunity to change the past. He’s spent so much time mapping out all the ways he could have saved Bucky from falling, but in the moment, he never stops to consider whether or not he should.

Actions have consequences, and meddling with time has more drastic ones than most. Steve wakes with two divergent timelines in his head, and two very different versions of Bucky in his bed. With the machine broken, and no idea whether their situation is permanent, this new arrangement promises to be an adjustment for all three of them. Only, that may not be the worst of their problems…
