Penumbra (Rated: NR, Words: 12K) by BonkyBornes / @bonky-bornes & art by @bergamotene
Summary: There was nothing more dangerous than having a soulmate. That’s what James had been taught his entire life. Being bound to another, life for life, got one killed just as surely as treason. Anyone with the mark of a binding was executed. Kings and peasants alike, it didn’t matter. There was nothing more dangerous than secondary loyalty to your Kingdom. James mastered the art of knives and silence, he learned to move like a shadow, unseen and inescapable. Bondeds were a disease, and he was a cure. He’d rather have his hands stained red than see his people suffer. Bondeds killed to protect one life. James killed to protect them all. - The Northern and Southern Kingdoms have been at war over Bonded Pairs for years. When a temporary armistice is proposed, and James is invited to the Southern Kingdom, it's one last chance to find a way towards peace.

Summary: Steve Rogers goes to prison for the first time for fraud and has to share an 11x11 foot cell with his roommate, James “Bucky” Barnes (a known murderer). The gang activity is aggressive inside. What starts off as Bucky protecting Steve-the “new meat”- turns into something…more.
WIP
War & Peace and the Redemption of Bucky Barnes (Rated: E, Current Words: 25K) by ThePirateStorm / @fsbc-librarian
Summary: Bucky Barnes is running from his problems. He's housesitting for his best friend while she's on her honeymoon - the almost a year prior that he's been staying in her house doesn't count - when he's woken in the middle of the night by an angel and a demon. Okay, maybe they're not a literal angel and demon, but Steve Rogers *looks* like an angel, and his daughter Charli certainly *acts* like a demon. The father/daughter duo are running from their own problems, but that doesn't mean that they can't crash headlong into one another's lives. Throw in a cursed book for good measure, and it's about to get a whole lot more interesting.
