James Barnes should be just like any other patient Steve sees in his Brooklyn clinic, but the mob enforcer bleeding all over his waiting room chair apparently didn’t get the memo.
Meta: Steve's First Shield by

Steve’s first shield was neither the shield he had before he saved the 107th, nor was it the vibranium shield we’ve all become accustomed to.
Steve’s first shield was Bucky.

Fanart & Head Canon: Hydra Steve!Clone and the Winter Soldier on the battlefield by
karaii
Headofporridge suggested the clone cannot speak because Hydra surgically removed his vocal cords after the Winter Soldier “malfunctioned” and fatally wounded a lot of their staff due to the sound of the clone’s voice. Either way, he probably uses a combination of ASL and military signing on the field because it is imperative they both remain unseen and unheard.

I’ve been thinking about Marvel Cinematic Universe a lot lately (‘No!’, I hear you cry, ‘We never would have guessed!’) and because my BA in English will otherwise just gather dust, I’ve decided to do a series of essays on the films. Because goodness knows I don’t write enough as it is.

A Pretty Boy with a Bird Tattoo by
Kryptaria and
rayvanfox
Bucky Barnes is the wholesome, handsome boy next door, complete with the engineering major and the beloved younger sister (or three).
Steve Rogers is the punk artist loner with an unkindness on his arm and a never-ending fight against the world. His best friend, Natasha, is best left unmentioned, though there are rumors that if you kiss the Black Widow's spider, she'll give you a tattoo for free. But she never said where or what.
They shouldn't work together, until they do.

Miss_Von_Cheese
Bucky has always loved when Steve fucked him, but things were definitely not the same in 1940, 1943, and 2015.

The incursions are over, and Steve still hasn't remembered. Everything is perfect, or it should be.
Baby You Should Stick Around by
Febricant and
neenya (WIP, two of three chapters posted)
If somebody had told Steve he and Bucky would end up raising Bucky's clone as their son, he'd probably have- wait, no, he wouldn't have done anything, because nobody would ever have said that.
And yet. Here they are.
Full of Grace series by
what_alchemy (one of two stories posted)
The soldier does not find the Mission. The soldier finds a tow-headed white child, aged approximately five years, unconscious and naked amid the empty Captain America uniform lying charred and bloody in the middle of what used to be a battleground. The soldier finds an expanse of bruised flesh and stubborn cowlicks that shine through the fog in his head.
The soldier lifts the child up and slings it under one arm before running.

Coulson's body relaxes, sprawling almost protectively over Clint's. "I feel like I owe you an apology, Barton," he says, professional as only Coulson can be while pining his subordinate bootycall to the ground.
Clint manages a steady inhale. "Nah. Good times."
Stand Back, I'm Going To Try Science by
Good_News_Everyone
Soulmates are a rare and cherished thing, a simple touch of hands bringing love that lasts forever. By all the rules of romance, they're meant to wait for each other and to trust in the vagaries of fate to bring them together.
Tony's never been good at waiting, and when he has science on his side, who needs fate?

After an operation that leaves Phil Coulson on an adrenaline high, he hits a nightclub looking for a partner to work it off with. By chance, he finds one in Clint Barton.

His dog tags identify him as Barnes, James B. It takes a frankly embarrassing amount of time for him to remember that name without stumbling over it inside his own head.

Meta: How fandom reinterpreted Captain America's politics for the 21st century by the daily dot
Captain America: The First Avenger follows a pretty typical superhero storyline: an underdog character gains superpowers, battles adversity while trying to do the right thing, suffers a loss, and finally defeats the bad guy. Of course, the movie ends with Cap crashing his plane into the ocean and waking up in 21st-century New York , but the lack of a happy ending is the only major departure from the traditional superhero narrative.
The interesting part is how Captain America’s fandom chooses to interpret him not just as a character, but as a symbol.

Exchange Rate by
freshbakedlady
Bucky's older memories are coming back, sometimes at the cost of more recent ones. What he cannot forget is tearing the wings off Sam Wilson. Too bad Bucky just let Steve talk him into staying with him and Sam. Consumed by guilt, the only thing Bucky knows to do by way of apology is to let Sam hurt him back. Fortunately, Sam has better ideas.

There’s a post going around critiquing the idea that Natasha had any kind of control over her causeway fight with Bucky, that it “dehumanizes” her by not letting her have faults/get into trouble. Except it doesn’t, because she was not “terrified out of her mind.”

Meta: Untangling Bucky Barnes by
copperbadge
I don’t think it’s exactly a spoiler to say that Bucky will probably have a significant presence in Captain America 2, given that the subhead name of that film is The Winter Soldier. So I thought I would take a minute to talk about how Bucky has interacted with the Captain America narrative since the forties. Partly because the comics tell a significantly different story from the film, which affects the balance of power between the two men, but also because it’s kind of hilarious.

Tony asks Steve out midbattle by

Anonymous asked: I love when Tony has fail moments like IM3 where he calls his armor & it gets hits something & smashes to pieces just as it's about to get to him. Or the whole city is burning and he says 'I think I did ok'. So how about Steve fail moments. He's so bloody prefect with his shield throws. Would flirting from Tony on the battle field case Steve to miss the shield (or get hit by it)? Would Tony find out Steve likes him due to Steve's sudden clumsiness around him. I love awkward steve
