May. 10th, 2013 08:52 pmMan, I took today off and it has STILL been a day.
But I have fanfic reccs! Plenty of Bucky fanfic this time, from the recent Throwdown. But first, two that are more personally relevant:
Robot Trip Podfic by Blackglass: Teen and Up, Gen. Blackglass did a great podfic of my story Robot Trip!
Al Dente by determamfidd: Mature, Pepper/Tony, Bruce/Betty, others maybe upcoming. If you liked my Chef AU, there's another one inspired by the same tumblr post, written by someone who clearly actually knows what goes on in professional kitchens. It's funny and enjoyable, and I love some of the twists they've thrown into it.
One Steve Feels for the win:
You Close Your Eyes and the Glory Fades by Knottahooker: G, Gen (hints of Tony/Steve). A fantastic examination of how Steve has coped with his transformation, focused on the fact that he's listed as having been colourblind before the Serum.
And a buttload of Bucky. A Buckyload.
The World Looks Just the Same by 51st: PG, Gen. Bucky's recovery is rough, and Bucky himself is exhausted. This got a bit overlooked, I think, in the throwdown, but it's a very clean, simple, and at times somewhat devastating portrait of the road from there to here.
Gunpowder Age by Legete: PG-13, Gen. Bucky's potentially unhealthy but definitely charming relationship to firearms in general and one sweet M1941 Johnson in particular; the ending on this is just killer.
It Gets Lonesome Here by Historymiss: Teen and Up, Bucky/Natasha. A funny and occasionally heartbreaking series of letters by Bucky, from childhood through the present day. There are some really hard moments in this one.
This is Something by Knitmeapony: PG-13, Steve/Bucky/Natasha. A gritty, interesting examination of how Bucky settles in to living as Bucky again. Also, he, Steve, and Natasha play drinking games with movies. AND HAVE SEX. \o/
Grounding Ghosts by Charmingpplincardigans: PG-13, Gen. Bucky and Clint bond over shooting beer bottles and grieving the changes in Natasha. Tied pretty tightly to the comics, but as a comics reader I found it very enjoyable. It has my favourite line from the entire throwdown in it: “I am wise beyond my years,” Clint says. “You’re just alive beyond your years.”
Change Me Through and Through by Madmaudlingoes: PG, Gen. Bucky deals with the fact that he's going to war and Steve isn't, and maybe does a little skullduggery to keep his friend safe. It's written in second-person, which is hard to do well, but I think this story really nails it.
The Pinball Wizard in a Miracule Cure by Mad_Maudlin: Teen and Up, Gen. Steve and Tony inadvertently use pinball to bring Bucky out of his shell and test his new arm. Sweet, funny, bantery.
