my favorite stevebucky fics; a thread
these are just some of my personal faves and recs! i might not add all of them but these might be the ones most worth reading—i will also keep updating this!
a marvelous gift - an ella enchanted au—literally one of my favorite fics of all time and its so creative in how it corresponds to the canon events so well and it& #39;s just SO ANGSTY

just say you do - the fic that got me back into sb earlier in the summer, it& #39;s 100k+ words modern au fake relationship oblivious mutual pining, what more can you want? definitely in my top five; it has angst and its really funny—literal must read https://archiveofourown.org/works/4032415/chapters/9067384">https://archiveofourown.org/works/403...
thirty-eight days and counting - the angstiest fic you will read; this is the sort of comfort fic you read over and over again—steve and bucky are fake husbands and bonus points for steve centric angst!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/5516603 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/551...
not easily conquered - that one famous fic you see on twt everyday but FOR A REASON!! it& #39;s just literal poetic art and it gets how far steve would go for bucky just right—probably the angstiest canon divergence fic and the LETTERS I CRY https://archiveofourown.org/series/115516 ">https://archiveofourown.org/series/11...
the curves of your lips rewrite history - a canon divergent fic in which steve and bucky survive the war and stevepeggy get married—if you only have time to read one fic THIS IS IT. so angsty i could read it everyday and STILL cry https://archiveofourown.org/works/8864386/chapters/20323663">https://archiveofourown.org/works/886...
timeline - my most reread fic; also the one of the earliest sb fics i ever read (def a comfort fic)—tears are guaranteed in this angsty modern au that follows steve and bucky from ages 11-27 where steve doesn& #39;t think bucky could ever love him back :( https://archiveofourown.org/works/6606055/chapters/15113800">https://archiveofourown.org/works/660...
i hate your big dumb combat boots - a 10 things i hate about you au; really great light read in a a bit of a frenemies to lovers fashion (sort of) https://archiveofourown.org/works/1855594/chapters/3992131">https://archiveofourown.org/works/185...
to be vulnerable is needed most of all - a 100k+ modern au where bucky is a war vet and he meets comic artist steve; VERY CUTE https://archiveofourown.org/works/2082951/chapters/4531803">https://archiveofourown.org/works/208...
time on my hands (could be spent with you) - takes place post cw in wakanda (which is my favorite type of canon sb fic) and bucky and steve finally realize they& #39;ve been in love this whole time

it& #39;s just temporary - one of the first fics i ever read; tbh it& #39;s been awhile so i don& #39;t even remember what happened, all i know is that i loved it and there was angst, pining, and bucky going through a bit of a life crisis https://archiveofourown.org/works/2611931 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/261...
they say love is a virtue - one of the cutest fake dating college au fics ever!! great for a shorter fluffy read and stevebucky being oblivious idiots https://archiveofourown.org/works/7173149 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/717...
wholesale change - steve is a famous hockey player on a reality dating show but he doesn& #39;t like any of the women there because he falls in love with his childhood best friend bucky who& #39;s the camera man <3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/11839173 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/118...
mesmeria - an inception au so obviously there& #39;s SO MUCH ANGST?? idk if i liked it because of inception or because of how weirdly nostalgic it made me but it is a beautiful fic a must read https://archiveofourown.org/works/7554244 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/755...
mission incomplete - only read if you& #39;re in for a sad incredibly angsty fic because this broke me https://archiveofourown.org/works/2300300 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/230...
(maybe) it might be love - a shorter hogwarts au; not the best in terms of characterization bc i felt like the situation might fit other ships better tbh but it was still really cute and slytherin!peggy was in it so https://archiveofourown.org/works/4718894 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/471...
the poem which i do not write - an adorable college au where bucky is a model for steve& #39;s class and he obviously falls in love <3 pure fluff!! https://archiveofourown.org/works/1759227 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/175...
keep making trouble & #39;till you find what you love - another fake dating fic (can you tell it& #39;s my favorite trope) and tbh i can& #39;t actually remember what happened other than that i loved it and it was cute asf https://archiveofourown.org/works/7848298 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/784...
ghost love elevators - i really don& #39;t know how to explain what happened in this fic but bucky has to kill steve but he doesn& #39;t and they go on a roadtrip and it& #39;s an interesting interpretation on their relationship https://archiveofourown.org/works/6365386 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/636...
of broken dreams and mended hearts - so i& #39;ll admit i actually didn& #39;t finish it (yet) because i got distracted and read like twenty other fics instead but it& #39;s 300k+ and a really good take on arranged marriage but actually slowly falling in love https://archiveofourown.org/works/2421641 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/242...
click here to read full article - a celeb fake pr relationship fic with pining <3 honestly just very cute—also i read another fic with literally the same plot but longer?? i liked this one better tho https://archiveofourown.org/works/4919347 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/491...
our beginning - a completely canon compliant fic of pre war to 40s stevebucky; it& #39;s a series but this is the only one i& #39;ve read so far and it was really good they even got married https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥺" title="Pleading face" aria-label="Emoji: Pleading face"> not always historically accurate but definitely recommend! https://archiveofourown.org/works/6777244 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/677...
returning - a very well written modern au where steve returns to his home town and meets his childhood best friend bucky—shorter fic; good for a light non-angsty read https://archiveofourown.org/works/4763822 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/476...
steve rogers versus the classics - steve is canon steve but bucky is a history professor; personally i don& #39;t like canon steve/modern bucky fics but this was cute and had steve centric angst which i love more than anything https://archiveofourown.org/works/5787190 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/578...
introduction to fake dating your best friend 101 - another fake dating au https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht"> college professors au where they make things a lot more complicated than things really have to be just to fake date https://archiveofourown.org/works/18091004 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/180...

hands of clay - 400k+ literally the longest fic i& #39;ve ever read; personally not a rec because it was kinda boring but i& #39;m only adding it here bc it has a certain nostalgia factor to it and it reminded me of my own childhood in nyc https://archiveofourown.org/works/2143266 ">https://archiveofourown.org/works/214...
on your marks, get set, sew! - neve recommended me this one (tyyy!) and it& #39;s just a really cute fic of steve on a reality tv show and bucky is the judge https://archiveofourown.org/works/24027292/chapters/57810064">https://archiveofourown.org/works/240...
