all is fair in love + war - masterlist
warnings specific to each part :)
I can never resist Mob!Bucky, something about him being a boss just makes him Infinitely sexier. I LOVED this series so far and I cannot wait for more!
PS: if there's space on the taglist still available, could I scooch in on that? Please & thanks!
Til it Happens to You | Bucky Barnes x Reader
Hi. This was a request from @barnesw1fe
🚨WARNING: this fic contains talk of SA. There is no graphic detail or imagery, but it discusses SA against the reader. Please Do Not read if that makes you uncomfortable ♥️
Other warnings: anxiety, protective Bucky
And I wish I’d had someone like this when I needed them.
——————————
Bucky haunted the hall outside your room. Technically, it was outside of his room too- so he had plenty of reason to be there. Plenty of reason to casually wander around until you got home. And that’s what he told anyone who walked by. It was simply coincidence that he missed you.
Finally, the elevator dinged. Bucky wasted no time play-acting a cool, casual demeanor. He didn’t have to be anything other than himself- not with you. And with you, he was happy. Always.
But as you stepped off the elevator and nearly knocked into Bucky, you didn’t smile like usual. Well, you smiled, of course, when you saw Bucky. But it didn’t light your eyes the way it usually did.
“Hey, doll! How was your night?” Bucky pulled you into a bear hug like always, but didn’t feel the welcome squeeze of your arms around his waist. Surely, you were just tired. Nachos and beers and fireball shots (that you swore were the best back in your college days) probably kicked your ass.
But not even a life-threatening mission could keep you from wrapping your arms around Bucky.
“Oh, yeah, it was- I had fun”, you gently untangled your body from Bucky’s and kept moving. You needed to keep moving.
Bucky kept pace with you, one of his massive steps taking the place of three of yours. “Tell me all about it! Did everyone show?”
“Mostly. Yeah.” You said- mumbled.
Bucky cocked his head at you, “you okay there, sweets?”
You cleared your throat, “oh, yeah. Just, you know, tired. Long night. That’s all.”
I want to read about about Bucky tearing that piece of trash to pieces so bad!!!
Somebody's Watching Me | Bucky Barnes x Reader
Hi, friends! Fun fact: I was being lightly stalked at work when I first started my job at the gym! So this story is like, mostly true, unfortunately. The guy didn't commit any acts of violence against me, but it was absolutely creepy and weird and uncomfortable and he said the most unhinged shit.
If you like my stuff, throw me a reblog 🥰
Warnings: stalking, reader injury, blood, creepy men
-------------------------------
The loud thud of your bag hitting the floor signaled to Bucky that you were home. He raced from the bedroom to the front door, happy as ever to see his best girl. But his smile drooped when he found you leaning against the door, knocking your head against it over and over again.
“Hey…bad day?” He snuck a hand behind your head, cushioning your skull from the hard surface. “No, I’m just annoyed. That weird guy came back and I spent the last hour of my shift listening to him ramble”, you leaned against Bucky’s body, a sigh of relief pushing past your lips.
Unfortunately, Bucky had to ask which weird guy you were referencing, seeing as an abundance of creepy men liked to bother you at work. “The weirdest one- the guy who talked to me for over an hour on Monday about how he’s a ‘super-genius’ and ‘vibrates on a really high level’”- you rolled your eyes at the words.
The same guy had been hounding you ever since you started your new job at the gym. He loved to talk your ear off whenever he could about the strangest things imaginable. Nothing that came out of his mouth was believable in the slightest, and much of what he said signaled massive red flags to Bucky.
I'm so glad that you're okay. That's the important part.
As for the rest, I loved this!
Clean Up Crew | Bucky Barnes x Reader
Hi, friends!
This fic takes place pre- Captain America: Civil War, so do me a favor and pretend that Bucky joined the team after Winter Soldier. Okay? Thanks :)
If you like what you read throw me a reblog 💕
Warnings: blood, Bucky's trauma, talk of PTSD
-----------------------------
A quiet buzzing disturbed your sleep, forcing you to scrounge around for your phone. You didn’t remember falling asleep but waiting for Bucky’s safe return had clearly taken longer than you anticipated. The clock on your nightstand read 2:14am, and an instant hatred for whoever dared call you so late began smoldering in your chest. Still half asleep, you unearthed your phone from beneath the sheets, but your intention to silence the call vanished when you saw the name on your screen.
‘Bonky Barnes 🦾🐺 is calling…’
Every ounce of exhaustion drained from your body at the prospect of speaking to your favorite person, “Buck, hey! What’s up?” Only a long silence came from the other end of the phone, and an overwhelming unease churned in your stomach. Bucky was always excited to talk to you; you ignited an incomparable an energy in him that usually radiated through the phone- something wasn’t right. Anxiety forced you upright as your heart threatened to pound out of your chest.
“Barnes, are you okay? Talk to me”.
“Are you okay with me touching you?"

Everything is always the same after a mission. Bucky gets home, he greets you with an embrace and a kiss, calming down your nerves when you finally have him in your arms again, and then he goes off to shower.
This time, however, it is different. This time he doesn't stop to be welcomed by you, it doesn't matter how happy you were. Bucky pulled a smile from somewhere deep inside him, a quick "Hi, doll." with an announcement he was taking a shower, and he disappeared into your room with a rigid walk and a tense back.
It is hard not to worry then, when his smile looked so troubled and his steps were so measured. You try to push it all back, maybe he's just tired, maybe he just needs a shower, but everything is silent then, even after a few minutes. There's no water running or sounds of Bucky moving around. It's alright, he's just tired. You keep repeating to yourself, until you hear a troubled grunt coming from the bathroom.
I wonder if after being free of Hydra, this is something Bucky went through...being hurt so bad even the Serum couldn't help.
Loved this.
I'll Wear Your Ring | Bucky Barnes x Reader
Hi, friends! I am back back back again- I've emerged from under a pile of work shit to bestow some heavy angst upon you.💜
If you like what you read, throw me a reblog so others can find it 🥰
“I wrote you a letter, I said I was better. I said I would never know why you left like a bandit, It's not like we planned it, but I'll leave the light on for a while. And I'll leave the linen the way they've been slept in, the sheets on the bed in a pile. And I'll wear your ring on the right hand for a while”.
Nat’s eye caught the hint of gold that adorned your finger. Her eyes lingered on the simple band and small diamond, the last reminder you’d held on to. Everything Bucky left behind rested inside stacked boxes that overpopulated your hall closet- everything except that ring. “So you’re still wearing that thing, huh?” Nat’s eyes flitted from the ring to your face and back again, instant regret pooling in her chest when she noticed your expression change. Almost instantly, your small smile melted into the dejected grimace she’d come to know. It was the only look you wore for months after Bucky’s sudden departure, so much so that Nat feared your face might get stuck that way.
She watched you stare down at the memento that sat comfortably on the ring finger of your right hand. Memories of the night Bucky presented it to you lifted your spirits for a short moment, only for them to come crashing right back down.
Look, I didn’t need to feel this much emotion this early in the day…
I Really Love Being Your Friend (Part 6)

Warnings: Mutual pining, idiots in love, angst, body insecurity, misunderstandings, injury.
A/N: Thank you to my lovely beta reader, @whisperlullaby . All mistakes are my own.
Sunday night was just like old times. You met the guys at Sam’s place, watched a movie, ate dinner, and ribbed each other. Your face was heated when Joaquin mentioned your date but he only needled you for a minute before you got back at him about his non-existent love life. Sam and Bucky exchanged looks but, wisely, decided to stay out of that particular rabbit hole. The night was fun and you were glad your friendship had been restored.
Wednesday night you met Foggy, Matt, and Karen for drinks and then dinner. You joked about it being a double date making Karen blush and Matt clarify that they aren’t an item. Foggy then ragged them both about how they had insisted on a double date making this Matt and Karen’s first official date. They both demurred but you and Foggy kept the ruse going much to the others chagrin. Before the night ended, Foggy invited you to his place on Saturday night for dinner and a movie and, when you said yes, planted a happy kiss on your lips.
Saturday morning you rose to find you are out of coffee and kick yourself for forgetting to go by the store. You get ready for the day and decide to treat yourself to some coffee from Neutral Ground before going to the store. As you trudge down the stairs you hear footsteps coming from above but ignore them until a now familiar voice says your name.
“Ben, hey. I didn’t realize you’d moved in,” you say.
Not gonna lie, I'm a little happy there's a rift with Foggy right now. I hope w/ this being followed situation, it brings her closer w/ Bucky.

Bucky woke with an ache in his chest and a purring Alpine there, too. He smiles softly at the cat, strokes its soft fur, and tries not to think about the night before. It had hurt when Joaquin had told him you were going on a date, but then seeing you had broken his heart. You were lit up the entire night in a way he’d never seen you. You had never looked at him that way. He thought after the way you two had kissed, maybe he still had a chance. Maybe he just needed to tell you how he really felt but now he knew that you really did only want to be friends.
He gets up and goes about his morning routine. Start the coffee, feed Alpine, make breakfast, and concentrate on the good things. If only his brain would let him.
I get it, but this is still me at these two right now:

warnings: mild angst, bucky sad boy 2k22, fluff and love
a/n: this is day 1 of my valentine's blurb challenge with the prompt "do you think we’re together in every universe?" i hope you enjoy!!
The conference room was quiet as everyone took in what Strange had just finished explaining.
The multiverse was real.
Something you had been fascinated with since you were little, the idea of other universes, some a parallel of your own, out there, was now confirmed - Strange had seen it himself.
The silence was heavy, no one knew what to say or do, until Tony piped up, breaking the silence in his usual sarcastic fashion.
“I wonder if I’m ungodly rich in every universe.”
That caused a ripple of laughter throughout the room, some of the tension eased.
“I’m sure you’re just as much of an ass too,” Natasha quipped back, which led into a very loud discussion of the things people thought they would carry through every version of themselves. Everyone except Bucky, who remained quiet, his hand clasped tightly around yours.
He didn’t say a word the rest of the night - not at dinner and not as everyone wound down with a movie in the common room. You knew he was grappling with something he couldn’t say yet, so you just stayed close until he was ready. Just like you always did.
It wasn’t until you were getting ready for bed that he finally spoke. He was laying in bed, back against the headboard, watching as you brushed your teeth in the adjacent bathroom. You finished with your nightly routine and stopped short at the door frame, taken aback by how intently he was looking at you.
His gaze was filled with the usual loving adoration he had when he looked at you, but there was something underneath that - something sad and desperate that made you want to wrap him in your arms and never let go.
"Do you think we’re together in every universe?" he whispered. You cocked your head to the side, wondering what it was about that that had him disarmed. “Do you think there’s a universe where I’m… better than this? A better man?” He gestured to himself - to the metal arm and scarred skin.
“Do you think there’s a universe where you could love me more?” Your heart broke at the confession, moving quickly to crawl into his lap and hold him close to your chest.
“James Buchanan Barnes, you are the love of my life. Maybe in every universe, maybe in every form, but especially in this universe. You are everything I could have ever wanted and I have no doubt that’s true for every version of you. But I have you right now, and I love you more than anything.”
You hoped that your words meant something to him, showed him that you need another universe or a different him to love him with every ounce of your being.
He pulled away from where his head was buried in your chest, looking up at you with shining eyes. That sorrow in his eyes is gone, fully replaced by the unadulterated love you felt for each other.
“You really mean that?”
You placed a gentle kiss to his forehead, staring at him with fondness. “Always.”
