Tattooed Hearts by Alaskan_Outsider.
It's my favorite because I like the different uses of soulmate trope. I haven't seen much with the matching tattoo designs, and I thought it was really cute, and it was hilarious Bucky's butt tattoo. I just really fell in love with the fic right away, and I couldn't stop reading it, and I just hope that other people enjoy it too ❤️
Move over, Cinderella, and take your glass slippers with you. Steve doesn't need them to find his true love when he has butt tattoos!
Thank you for reccing this, anon. It sounds fantastic! xD

When Steve wakes from the ice he's disoriented and panicked. The Tattoo on his right arm of a blue star only confuses him further. As time goes on, he becomes too busy with adapting to the 21st century and aliens to care about the mysterious tattoo. That is until a second one appears.
After losing his left arm in an accident on a research expedition in his final year of college, Bucky enrolls into the Stark Industries Experimental Prosthetics Program and is fitted with a metal arm that brandishes a red star. His buddy Gabe works in a tattoo shop and likes to use Bucky as his practice canvas. After Bucky got the metal arm, Gabe thinks it would be funny to have a matching blue star inked onto Bucky's right arm.
While performing a check up on Bucky's arm, Tony notices Bucky's tattoos match the ones that have been mysteriously appearing on Steve's skin and makes the connection.When Bucky gets a tattoo it appears in the exact same place on Steve's body. The two are connected. The question is: How and Why?

Summary:
Commander Steve Rogers has retired from active duty, spending his free time mentoring young Alphas and Omegas with Sam. He’s happy and settled in his life, until he meets a troubled Omega in need of rescuing from the abusive Alpha he’s been promised to.
Bucky Barnes makes Steve question everything he thought he wanted, or needed, and the two fight their mutual attraction for each other as Steve works to get Bucky to safety.
But when a freak accident throws them together—literally—they give in and bond, only for the real fight to begin as secrets are revealed while they try to make a future in a world that condemns their relationship. Will they get the opportunity to live happily ever after? Or will Bucky’s past be more than they can overcome?

Excerpt:
(nsfw, read more under the cut)
Bucky’s scent has shifted subtly over the last two days, and whether he realizes it or not, his heat will be starting very soon. Steve wouldn’t be surprised if he woke up in the morning to find Bucky in full pre-heat. For Bucky to be having sudden concerns is not unexpected.
“I… I’m afraid of losing all control of myself. I know you’ll take care of me, that’s not… But we only just got to this point. We’ve only been having sex for three weeks. And I don’t know what I’ll need, what I… What I’ll ask of you, and…” Bucky trails off, gnawing his bottom lip and looking up at Steve pleadingly, as if begging him to understand what Bucky can’t put into words.
It takes a minute, but Steve thinks he’s starting to get an inkling.
“Honey, are you saying that you’re worried you’ll want me to do something to you that I won’t like?”
“No, no it’s not that, not really…”
Steve studies Bucky, brow furrowed, when he notices the subtle caramel undercurrent to Bucky’s scent. He’s not upset, so much as he’s aroused?
“Wait. Are you concerned you’ll want something that we haven’t done yet?” Steved asks.
“I… Sort of? I just… I want to remember all the firsts, and I’m afraid I won’t.”
“Oh, honey.”
A faint blush dusts the apples of Bucky’s cheeks. Steve puts his weight on Bucky, turns him from his side to his stomach and grinds into him. Bucky gasps in surprise.
“I could show you,” Steve rumbles, low and directly in Bucky’s ear. “You’ll spend much of your heat on your belly, wanting to feel me covering you like this—making you feel small, and protected, and nothing more than a receptacle for my cock.”
Bucky whimpers as Steve slides his hands down Bucky’s arms and twines their fingers together.
“What do you think, sweet thing? Do you like it like this? You like the way that sweet little cock of yours is rubbing against the sheets? How I just hit right on your prostate with every thrust?”
“Daddy!” Bucky gasps. “Oh, oh yes, this is nice.”
“Of course, to really drive my seed in deep, it works best when you’re ass up. You’ll definitely try to get me to mount you like that.” Bucky yelps, startled, when Steve’s hands close around his waist and yank him back and up.
“It’s definitely how we’ll spend your heat if and when you decide you want to have my pup. We’ll get a special pillow, too, to hold you up when you’re too tired to stay up but are still begging for my knot.” Bucky moans, a thoroughly wanton and fucked-out sound, punched out of him with every drive of Steve’s cock.
“But I love to see your pretty face, so I’ll put you on your back, too. Won’t let you ride me, because we wouldn’t want any of that come to slide back out of you before we were done, now would we? Gotta keep you full up, keep you feeling used and owned and cherished, now don’t I?”
“Alpha…” The name is drawn out, a long, high-pitched whine as Bucky comes again. Steve purrs and runs a hand down Bucky’s back, caressing his spine as he trembles through the orgasm.
“Tell me, sweet boy. Does that all sound okay to you? Are those things you’d like me to do to you while you’re in heat?”
Bucky whines when Steve pulls out and turns him over.
“Should I do all that? Hmm?”
He drives back into Bucky’s wet heat, now chasing his own orgasm.
“Should I fuck you over and over, keep you stuck on my knot? Keep my good little Omega happy and sated with my cock while he’s in heat?”
“I—fuck, yes, want all of that, please…”
“And then, when the time is right, when you’re at the peak of your heat, you want to know what I’ll do to you?”
“What?” Bucky asks breathlessly.
Steve’s eyes land on the perfect, unmarred side of Bucky’s neck.
“When the time comes,” he murmurs, placing his mouth over the gland he’s been longing to sink his teeth into. “When your body is the most receptive to it—” he grazes his teeth along the skin, feels Bucky’s pulse pounding beneath his lips. “I’ll pin you down. And then just before I knot you, I’ll make you mine.” He nips gently, teasingly, and Bucky moans, scent spiking as he comes yet again. “Forever.” The word comes out as a possessive growl while Steve’s orgasm hits and his knot fills once more.
“Yours,” Bucky agrees. “Always.” His hand fists in Steve’s hair and he pulls him down for a kiss full of teeth and tongue, all the fierceness that had drawn Steve to the man in the first place.

So do we want a Saturday sneak peek of Bodies That Collide, my fic for @shrunkyclunksbang with art by the wonderful BritBrit99? I'm here if you want to author subscribe and get a notification when it goes up!
Alexander ushers him in with a small movement, gestures for him to close the door. Anticipation is tingling at the idea of this, at the idea of knowing something that Nick Fury does not. It was by chance that he noticed that the intricate pattern of stars and crossing lines on Steve Rogers’ side was a burnished copper.
A sign that his soulmate lives now.
In this time.
Soulmarks are fascinating lore and even with the National Soul Mates Agency (NSMA) and endless funding, very little is known about why they occur. The patterns are registered in national databases from the day of birth, it being a legal requirement to do so.
Soulmarks always match. That much is unarguable. Grey for a soulmate not born, copper for one alive. Gold, when united, and an inky black upon death. They’re rare, only occurring in about thirty percent of Alphas and Omegas. Many people don’t believe in them, think that they’re outdated but those people tend to be non-des or Betas. Or those without a mark.
Children are told fairy tales from an early age. About soulmarks and love and a relationship that lasts a lifetime. About the great loves, the Alpha Prince and the Omega Princess, of famous couples throughout history.
He’s done his research. He knows that Steve Rogers’ mark was grey—soulmate not alive—when the Valkyrie went down. His soulmate hadn’t been born yet—a rarity considering couples are usually born within two decades of each other.
“So does he have a match?”

Title: I Can’t Do Everything (But I’d Do Anything For You)
Author: @musette22​ [AO3]
Artist: Rufferto @rufferto9 [AO3]
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Captain America Steve Rogers/Modern Bucky Barnes
Tags/Warnings: No archive warnings apply, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Musician Bucky Barnes, Rock Star Bucky Barnes, Captain America Steve Rogers/Modern Bucky Barnes, Post-Serum Steve Rogers, Meet-Cute, Strangers to Lovers, Getting Together, Coming Out, Bisexual Bucky Barnes, Gay Steve Rogers, Top Steve Rogers, Bottom Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanov Is a Good Bro, Tony Stark Tries To Be A Good Bro, Steve Rogers fangirls (as in the verb), Music, Musical References, Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Eventual Smut, Blow Jobs, Anal Sex, First Time Topping
Summary:
Steve Rogers cares about a lot of things, but dating isn’t one of them – much to his fellow Avengers’ bemusement. It’s just never been very high on his list of priorities, falling somewhere behind his work, his friends, his hobbies, and that excellent pepperoni pizza from Vinnie’s on Flatbush Ave.
That is until one night, Natasha drags Steve out to a charity music concert by some hotshot singer that Steve has never actually heard of (which would surprise exactly no one, seeing as Steve is still partial to his records and his radio plays). And as soon as Steve lays eyes on Grammy-award winning musician and international heartthrob James Barnes for the very first time, suddenly he wonders if maybe dating wouldn’t be so bad after all. Dating James Barnes, specifically, that is. The question is just: how does one go about that? Especially one like Steve, who’s never wooed anybody in his century-long life, let alone a man. Let alone a man with long, dark hair, tattoos all over his arms, and a fanbase that rivals Steve’s own.
It’s not like he can just go up to him and say something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

2021 Fic/Art Masterpost
Here’s a list of fics and art from last year’s challenge! It’s sorted by Fic title for all entries. Please make sure to read the tags/warnings for each work on AO3, they were not included in this post to save space.
If you’d like, you can also go straight to the 2021 AO3 Collection.
Tumblr media
All That Remains - Mature – Em [AO3] [Twitter]
Art embedded in fic – Espressosaur [Twitter] & Fauneb  [Instagram] [Tumblr]
After righting the wrongs made by Thanos five years ago, Steve Rogers returns home to find the abandoned bakery across the street from his apartment open, with a beautiful but haunted-looking man behind the counter. He desperately wants to get to know him, but the last five years have changed him, and his own self-doubt and fear hold him back.
Bucky Barnes stopped existing five years ago. Now he’s back and struggling to find his place in a world that’s moved on in his absence. When he reopens his bakery, he finds himself drawn to the ex-superhero living in the apartment building across the street.
But both of them are stubborn and argumentative, and their conversations turn to sarcasm and attitude more often than not - not that either of them minds. For Steve, it’s nice to see someone who doesn’t treat him like a hero - disgraced or not - and for Bucky, it’s refreshing to have someone not treat him with kid gloves. Over time, this antagonistic relationship grows into something steady and sure, both of them able to build their lives back up - and build a new one together.
Tumblr media
And my love life waits for me - Explicit – bittersweet-in-boston [AO3] [Tumblr] [Twitter]
Art embedded in fic + Additional piece not included in the fic due to possibly disturbing content (CW: Graphic Depictions of Violence) – Alaskan_Outsider [AO3]
Steve is Captain America three years after he woke up from the ice. He likes his Avengers friends, but he’s burnt out and misses the Howlies and Peggy. Bucky is a finance manager at Stark Industries who’s dating Brock Rumlow but secretly pining after the tiny, blond boy in old-fashioned clothes who shows up as his soulmate in his dreams. This is how Steve and Bucky meet in the middle of a terrible car crash in a snowstorm, how they realize they’re soulmates, and how they come together through trauma, pain, patience, and love.
Tumblr media
The Best Boyfriend Bucky Barnes Never Had – Explicit – Annerp [AO3] [Twitter]
Art embedded in fic - CapDeady
Bucky Barnes really needs someone to pretend to be his boyfriend for 5 minutes, just long enough to make his ex go away so he can enjoy the rest of his afternoon in peace. Super sweet Steve, with his perfect body and even better smile, is naturally willing to help the cute guy who hangs out in the park.
Fast forward several weeks and Bucky thinks they have the perfect fake dating arrangement. Bucky meets Steve’s friends. Steve spends Bucky’s birthday with his family.
There’s only one problem, Steve apparently missed the fake part in their relationship and sets out to be the best boyfriend Bucky Barnes never had. Meanwhile, Bucky is working hard not to develop feelings for his friend.
To complicate everything, the world, and more importantly Bucky, don’t know that the new Captain America, who never shows his full face, is actually Steve Rogers, the original Captain America who was secretly revived after 70 years on ice.

Bodies That Collide - Explicit – becassine [AO3] [Tumblr]
Art embedded in fic - Catherine [AO3] [Twitter]
When S.H.I.E.L.D discovers Captain America in the ice in 2011, Pierce re-activates his identity and discovers that he has an Omega soulmate, a graduating James ‘Bucky’ Barnes.
Fast forward to 2013 and Steve Rogers knows that the organisation Peggy founded isn’t the one it is today. Pierce, sensing that the good Captain might be intractable around Project Insight, decides to distract him.
Steve and Bucky meet. There’s an instant connection.
But as the two of them try to forge a relationship, to see if they can make this work, Steve realises that Pierce is using Bucky as a pawn in his game.
But who will ultimately call check-mate?
Tumblr media
Dead Man’s Switch - Mature – emptydistractions  [AO3] [Tumblr] 
Art embedded in fic – profoundalpacakittens [Tumblr] [Twitter]
Steve has only ever wanted to help people. Maybe that’s part of the reason why it nearly tears his heart in two the first time he watches Bucky die. He can’t help but think of the ‘what if’s’. What if he’d been there sooner? What if he’d been able to stop it?
By the five hundredth time he watches Bucky die though, the whole situation’s really starting to lose it’s charm.
(Or: Bucky is stuck in a time loop, and Steve is accidently along for the ride.)
Tumblr media
Had we but world enough and time - Explicit - Powerfulowl (StuckyFlangst)  [AO3] [Tumblr] [Twitter]
Art embedded in fic – ursa [AO3] [Twitter]
Bucky Barnes is single, 30 and gay in New York - totally over the hill. So he’s pretty surprised when a blonde Adonis named Steve picks him up and takes him home for the night. He’s even more surprised when aliens invade New York and it turns out that Steve is Captain America.
Six years later, Steve Rogers breaks down. He hands over his shield and retreats to Tony’s house in a forest by a lake. Waiting to greet him, with ribbons in his hair, is Bucky Barnes - caretaker and carpenter. A man Steve has never forgotten.
Can Steve find the courage to love Bucky? Or will Steve have to sacrifice his new life, and his love, to save the universe?
Tumblr media
‘hos & Heroes (by the end of the night) - Explicit – kickflaw [AO3] [Tumblr]
Art embedded in fic – bicappy [Tumblr] [Twitter]
Bucky waved his hand. “If you hate the whole idea of this party so much, show it. Make a statement. Make it count. Subvert it. Get yourself a hero and go as the 'ho.”
Steve groaned. “Can you imagine the response if I did that? This is Tony Stark. There’s bound to be media coverage, legal and illegal. I can’t show up in, in ripped stockings and shorts, Buck. I’m Captain America. There would be…backlash.”
When Tony invites Steve to a themed charity costume party, Steve complains to his crush friend, Bucky Barnes, and ends up with both a date and a very, very bad idea. Featuring: Steve in high heels, manicures, gallons of mutual pining, sexual tension, and a healthy side of scathing social commentary.
Tumblr media
I Can’t Do Everything (But I’d Do Anything For You) - Explicit – musette22  [AO3] [Tumblr]
Art Masterpost - Rufferto [AO3] [Tumblr]
Steve Rogers cares about a lot of things, but dating isn’t one of them – much to his fellow Avengers’ bemusement. It’s just never been very high on his list of priorities, falling somewhere behind his work, his friends, his hobbies, and that excellent pepperoni pizza from Vinnie’s on Flatbush Ave.

i never loved one like you - Mature – Toffee [AO3] [Tumblr]
Bucky is a grad school student struggling through his senior thesis on superhuman biology. When a chance meeting leads him to becoming good friends with Sam Wilson, Bucky gets the opportunity to interview Captain America himself for his paper. After one interview Steve is desperate to see Bucky again, so he agrees to do an entire expose of interviews. As they continue to meet and get to know one another, Bucky learns more about Steve than he could ever ask for, and Steve finds something in Bucky he didn’t realize he desperately needed; a friend. And just maybe, they’ll both discover they need something more.
Tumblr media
The Intangible Dream  – Mature – itwastheband [AO3]
Art embedded in fic – Squish [Twitter]
Bucky wouldn’t deny it; he had always been an imaginative person. As a kid, he’d always get in trouble for daydreaming in class and having wild comic book adventures with friends.
But that didn’t even begin to explain how, after moving into his new apartment in Brooklyn, he started having recurring dreams of the same man every night. A man trapped inside his own home with no memory to explain how he got there. A man who couldn’t even see that Bucky was right there.
The question was - could any of it be real?
Bucky wanted to say no, it couldn’t be, but that position only got harder to maintain as the dreams continued and started to feel more and more real.
Tumblr media
I’m a Wreck When I’m Without You - Explicit – TheOmniPrincess [AO3] [Tumblr] [Twitter]
Art embedded in fic – savagesnakes
Steve Rogers is pretty much useless in the new century. Technology he doesn’t understand, Tony being annoying, well all of his friends being annoying really. And to make matters worse there’s this insistent tugging he feels in his chest anytime he is at Avenger’s tower and considering he lives there, that’s a lot. There’s this cute guy he met in the elevator and this sweet scent that’s attached to him, and Steve has no idea how to approach that in general. Meanwhile, Natasha seems intent to get him laid in the new century. At least he no longer has to deal with Hydra, having watched it crash and burn into the Potomac River a year ago.
Misunderstandings, setups, hijinks, and chaos ensues, but what if he doesn’t want this omega to get hurt because of him? Especially when those Hydra baddies come crawling back. What’s an Alpha to do?
Tumblr media
James Barnes: The Underworld’s Best Friend  – Teen and Up – WinterSabbath [AO3]
Art Masterpost - perplexinglyparadoxialperson [Tumblr]
In which Steve meets James Barnes—SHIELD’s consultant for all things supernatural—and discovers that there is a much bigger world waiting to be explored, and the man who introduces him to this world is a lot more charming than Steve expected.
Tumblr media
Like A Good Little Soldier – Explicit – Girl_Back_There [AO3]
Art embedded in fic – xPixelx [AO3] [Tumblr] 
Bucky Barnes is a S.H.I.E.L.D. specialist brought up to help the Avengers when Clint Barton is injured. The crack-shot sniper clashes with The Commander, Steve Rogers, when he disobeys a direct order to stay in his nest. But Bucky is not going to standby when he sees a situation going South. The mission goes completely wrong putting Steve and Bucky at odds with one another as to who made the right call.
But all of that doesn’t matter since Bucky is going back to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Steve never has to deal with him again.
Except, the rest of the team like Bucky, even Clint, and vote to bring him onto the Avengers. Having another sniper and spy is useful to the team.
Bucky and Steve do not get along, but that doesn’t mean the two of them don’t fantasize about one another. Or occasionally indulge in those fantasies after a heated argument.
Tumblr media
Lost and Found - Explicit – AidaRonan [AO3] [Twitter]
Art Masterpost - sublimepigeon [Tumblr] [Twitter]
It’s been over 20 years since Captain America disappeared. That’s the subject of Mystery Vlogger Bucky’s next video. The only problem with that is that Steve Rogers doesn’t know why Bucky Barnes is looking for him, and he isn’t too happy about potentially being found. He likes the life he’s built away from the shield, and he’ll fight like hell to keep it.
But when he pays a visit to Barnes intending to warn him off, Steve finds someone different than he expected. An unlikely friendship forms, one involving cryptic notes and throwaway social media accounts. One that leads to late night confessions and Steve finding out exactly what’s under Bucky’s sloth pajamas.
Tumblr media
mortal bodies, timeless souls - Explicit - Galka B. [AO3] [Tumblr]
Art embedded in fic  - kocuria [AO3] [Tumblr] [Twitter] & thorinacornshield [AO3]
Half a decade ago, after the fall of SHIELD and the release of all HYDRA files, Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America, teamed up with the Navy SEALs to track down leads as they decrypt all of it. 
 For the last three years, Master Chief Petty Officer James Barnes has been the leader of the team following Captain America into the jaws of death time and time again. 
 After all this time, it’s become hard to remember why Bucky hated Steve in the first place - but it’s always easier to push him out. 
Until it’s not.
Tumblr media
No Winter Lasts Forever – Explicit - Rosesnfeathers [AO3]
Art embedded in fic – Alaskan_Outsider [AO3]
When they get stuck in a huge blizzard, Steve finds shelter near a little cabin isolated in the woods. That’s where enters Bucky Barnes, ex military, who escaped to Canada to hide away from his demons. They will be forced to share Bucky’s space as the blizzard shows no sign of stopping. Maybe Steve will finally find peace and maybe Bucky will find a way to accept that sometimes, a bit of help is needed and that no winter lasts forever.

Sworn to secrecy by the Air Force after a friendly fire accident in Afghanistan, former aid workers James and Sam have come home to take over Sam’s family’s vacation rental business to escape the bad memories. Losing an arm and working maintenance wasn’t how James pictured his life turning out, but his life is good: He likes fixing things, he gets to work for his best friend, and he loves surfing every morning.
Fresh out of the ice, all Steve wants is for SHIELD to announce his return and let him get back to work so he won’t have time to think about all he’s lost. But when his psychiatrist refuses to clear him for duty until he’s dealt with his trauma, he reluctantly accepts Tony’s offer of a beach house for the summer to settle his mind. Armed with a false identity and a stack of sketchbooks, his only goal is to get back into the field. He’s got no intention of letting his heart defrost along with the rest of his body.
That is, until a handsome maintenance man with a secret of his own shows up with a gallon of ice cream and a smile that could light up half of New York.

Bucky’s a bartender at Stars and Bars, the coolest nightclub in Brooklyn. He’s excellent at his job, so he’s often called in when someone else misses a shift. Irritated he has to work on his scheduled night off, he’s pleasantly surprised when one patron makes his sacrifice worth it. Shy, handsome Steve Rogers is the best tipper Bucky’s ever met, but he wants something much different. Unfortunately, Steve’s hiding something, and Bucky’s not prepared when the secret comes to light, especially when he’s got one of his own.

Earth 575 - Mesoamerica: “You never leave a room without looking back.” Bucky’s eyes draw upward to meet the long stretch of blue that always draws back towards him. They hone in on each other, they always do. The wolf’s lips kiss the edge of the talavera patterned mug, his lashes hiding the sweetness of his gaze towards the much larger beast in the room.  —  “That a bad thing?” The low, throaty draw of his words sends a skittering shiver through Bucky, one that Steve catches and notes.  —  “No,” Bucky’s head tilts back, openly looking up at where Steve is standing over him, guarding.
Earth 757 - The Yukon Wilderness: Bucky grins wide enough for Steve to feel the wet front side of his teeth against his lips. He finally tips them over the edge of their mutual teasing, licking into Steve’s mouth. “Next,” he growls, nipping at Steve’s already swollen lips. “Next, sweetheart… You meet the Wolf.”
Two stories in two universes sharing only two truths: Captain America is hiding, and Bucky Barnes has sharp, white teeth.

Steve was in the middle of what seemed like a perfectly normal mission, when he got hit trying to save a civilian. Bucky hadn’t even noticed there was a fight raging around him.
When they wake up, both Steve and Bucky realise they are no longer in their own bodies.
Bucky attempts to navigate his way around Stark tower, surrounded by superheroes and disembodied butlers, while Steve has to contend with an overprotective sister, a hyperactive three year old, and a cat who doesn’t trust him.
Brought together under objectively weird circumstances, they must figure out a way to get back to their own lives. But, maybe the switch isn’t so bad as it first seemed. Maybe they can have a little fun with it while they figure things out.

Bucky is a professor of Russian literature at Georgetown. He should feel pleased and happy with himself, being well settled in his career by 41, but his past haunts him. His wounds, from a harrowing experience with HYDRA a year prior, are not quite healing, and his friends are worried for him.
Steve Rogers is Captain America. That seems to be the only thing people know about him now that he has been thawed. Every person he knew is gone, and he is having a hard time finding himself in this new century.
They both find something in each other when Steve attends one of Bucky’s lectures on Dostoevsky. Maybe together, they will help each other heal, but with HYDRA still lurking around Bucky, will they be given the chance to?

“Hello?” Steve asks, hiding his gun behind him as he steps out into the snow and down the few stairs to the ground level. It is already snowing hard, but it will continue well into the next few days, building up several feet. It’s already five or six inches high, and a light layer of it is dusting the person crumpled up in his alley.
“Excuse me, but this is private property,” Steve says to them, feeling adrenaline start to pump through him at the lack of response. He scents the air and only finds that indescribable smell of cold.
“Sir, the individual appears to be unconscious,” JARVIS informs him.

When Steve wakes from the ice he’s disoriented and panicked. The Tattoo on his right arm of a blue star only confuses him further. As time goes on, he becomes too busy with adapting to the 21st century and aliens to care about the mysterious tattoo. That is until a second one appears.
After losing his left arm in an accident on a research expedition in his final year of college, Bucky enrolls into the Stark Industries Experimental Prosthetics Program and is fitted with a metal arm that brandishes a red star. His buddy Gabe works in a tattoo shop and likes to use Bucky as his practice canvas. After Bucky got the metal arm, Gabe thinks it would be funny to have a matching blue star inked onto Bucky’s right arm.
While performing a check up on Bucky’s arm, Tony notices Bucky’s tattoos match the ones that have been mysteriously appearing on Steve’s skin and makes the connection. When Bucky gets a tattoo it appears in the exact same place on Steve’s body. The two are connected. The question is: How and Why?

Steve “Captain America” Rogers has been the most debated conspiracy theory topic for five years for one simple reason: he vanished after Thanos was defeated. No one has publicly seen or heard from him. No one expected to see him again. So it’s a shock when a film crew is suddenly informed he’s been cast for their celebrity cameo.
Bucky Barnes is a great makeup artist. He’s finally booked his first major feature film gig, and is shining in his new leadership position. When he gets a call from his department head letting him know he’s been asked to step away from makeup, and into an assisting role for a secret celebrity who doesn’t have representation, he’s disheartened and edgy. Until he finds out who he’ll be assisting.

After a mission gone wrong leaves Steve with a godawful six week recovery, Bucky, Steve’s long-time boyfriend, is more than happy to play nurse. Of course, Bucky’s insistence on waiting on Steve hand-and-foot and anticipating his every need has Bucky on a bit of a power trip. He’s sure he can top Steve, even though he has never so much as fingered anyone besides himself. Steve’s more than happy to goad Bucky into it.

Becca and Bucky have spent the last few years living in England as they finish up degrees in Anthropology/Archaeology and Historical Engineering respectively. Neither were able to find paying jobs in their chosen fields, and the end of their lease is looming close. London is expensive, and they begin to worry about where they could possibly live.
Then, an unknown Great Uncle dies suddenly, and names Bucky (by way of legal loophole) heir to the castle he lived in. In Germany. And sure, it’s run down, they have barely any furniture, and it’s tucked away remotely in the mountains between Germany and the Czech Republic, but hey? Free house? Bucky supposes the brush with death that made him able to see the ghosts of Captain America, Agent Carter and the Howling Commandos is just the price he has to pay for it.
