Part 6 of Ace!Bucky Verse
Hi! Idk if this is the right way to do this but I’d like to recommend a fic I have recently read. This is a fic for those looking for angst. It’s called: And There But For the Grace by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen). This is so wonderfully written and so so beautiful. Steve was a fallen angel slash demon who accidentally saved Bucky while also trying to save himself.
Thank you for writing in!
And There But For the Grace* by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen) (complete | 46,593 | T) *major character death
Magical Realism AU where demons exist and Steven was an angel lured to Lucifer's side in the war in Heaven. After the war, they threw him down into Hell, no longer an angel, but a demon.
Some humans know demons exist, summoning them out of Hell to use as weapons. Desperate to escape Hell, Steven answers a summons only to find himself bound to serve HYDRA. When they send him to possess Agent Peggy Carter, the encounter doesn't go as HYDRA expects and Steven is set free to roam the earth.
Sixty years later, frantic to escape another summons, willing to do anything to stay unbound, he takes refuge inside the killer sent to slaughter the summoner. The killer has a metal arm and a mind like broken glass and Steven soon discovers he isn't the only one hiding inside of it: he finds the man the killer's body belongs to. Fragile and lost, the more Steven seeks him out the stronger he becomes, until the day he remembers his name: Bucky. Determined to protect him, Steven will do everything in his power to set him free and keep him that way.
(Chronologically, this stretches from before Captain America: First Avenger to a year or so before the first Avengers movie but has spoilers for Civil War.)
Part 1 of And There But For The Grace
Hi, I’d like to rec my own fic it’s called see u in hell and I’m xansayshi on AO3. (I’ve also got some new ideas rolling around in my brain so if anyone wants to help a girl get back on the fic writing horse you know where to find me 👀👀) thanks, you guys are awesome!
Thank you for writing in!
see u in hell by Mystrana, xansayshi (complete | 50,164 | T)
"That was the best first date I've been on in a long time," Steve says.
Bucky frowns at Steve. "Which date are you talking about?"
"What do you mean 'which date?' I'm talking about this date." Steve raises his eyebrows like what he's saying should be obvious. He waves his arm, gesturing between them. "The date we just went one."
Date?? - After a misunderstood text, Bucky finds himself on a date-he-didn't-know-was-a-date with Steve. But Bucky doesn't date. Ever.
With a little help from his friends Bucky works through some things and gets himself a boyfriend...and maybe a little more than he bargained for.
helloo! looking for a fic where bucky confessed his love for steve but steve turned him down because he's ace. they didn't talk much after that but were forced to go undercover as a couple and ended up making out a lot. i believe there was a massage involved somewhere in the fic. then before they nearly die steve comes out to bucky and everything is okay. it was finished (not sure if oneshot or multiple chapters. thank you so much for all you're doing! you're f***ing awesome!
This one?
Rogers & Barnes: Partners by triedunture (oneshot |10,510 | T)
Steve and Bucky have to pose as a couple for a mission. Nat insists it really is the only option. She’s checked.
The complication: unbeknownst to even Natasha, Steve and Bucky’s friendship has been rocky ever since Bucky confessed his tender feelings and Steve left him out in the cold. Can asexual, completely-in-love-with-his-angry-best-friend Steve complete the mission and win Bucky’s heart?
(The answer is yes. Yay!)
An ace friendly back- dated work from leveragehunters (Monkeygreen). It’s really lovely to read.
Hi I'm looking for a fic. It's a modern AU as far as I remember, and (PreSerum) Steve and Bucky are in college and roommates and know each other since childhood and have been together for years. They are both asexual. I remember their relationship being very beautiful, they just worked really well together.
This one, maybe?
Scéal by HunterPeverell (oneshot |3,768 | G)
The thing was—The thing was, neither of them were broken. Apart, they were whole. Together they were whole, too. They could be who they were together and knew the other would love them regardless. They could feel complete in a world that told them they were broken and whisper to one another in the safety of the dark, saying, “I love you,” and know it to be true.

I just need some fanfictions with some plot and without too much smut.Cos I cant find any.Thanks😘
@multifandom4evar you should try our Ace/sex-repulsion Friendly Recs and this blog search :D
edit from mod Iamnmbr3. Try these:
It’s 2011, men are allowed to marry, and Bucky is dead.
The future isn’t all that’s strange. Together in peacetime for the first time since before Steve took the serum, Steve and Bucky struggle to find their place – and each other – in the middle of a new millennium, new bodies, and new dynamics.
Or, just because you wake up in a century where everything you’ve repressed is magically okay, that doesn’t make it easy.

Bucky said, “These are love letters, Rogers. You’ve been drawing me love letters.”
The Wedding of Bucky Barnes by stephrc79 for stephrc79 (complete | 67,805 | T )
This is the story of how an instagramming, trolling, pain in the ass got married to an equally annoying, artistic, bossy, stubborn blond oaf.
Or, you know, how one James Buchanan Barnes, Instagram Extraordinaire, married Captain America himself, one Steven Grant Rogers.
Don’t Ask* by AnnaFugazzi (complete | 21,491 | M ) *period-typical attitudes
Captain America and Bucky Barnes were like brothers. Everyone knew that.

Shuri fixes Bucky Barnes.
Count the Rings Around My Eyes by caughtinanocean (complete | 2,630 | T )
In the wake of his time with Arnim Zola, Bucky doesn’t trust anyone to tend his wounds—Steve, however, is not just anyone.
“I know it ain’t as nice as what you see in the mirror, Cap, but that’s not the sort of reaction a guy likes when he strips,” he quipped, face still covered by fabric that had once been white (before all the dried blood and sweat).
“Sorry, Buck.” Steve tossed the shirt out of the way. “Just, I know I owe you a lot of taking care of, but did you have to get it all outta the way in one go?”
despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained) by praximeter (Zimario) (WIP | 57,623 | M )
“They really didn’t want the mask to come off.” Hill thumbed through the scans, and pulled out a film that she then handed over to Sam, face mostly expressionless but for the flat line of her pursed lips.
Sam accepted the film and held it up to the light, angling so both he and Steve could see it, squinting at the outline of the Winter Soldier’s skull, and the blips of unnatural white that showed up, God, in his brain, not to mention about half his teeth, plus the mask, with its thin protrusions—
“Those are pins,” Steve realized. He looked over at Hill. “The mask—it’s nailed to his face.”
Hill’s face was as unmoved as ever. “Like I said. They really didn’t want it coming off.”
Who Let You In?* by birdbrains (complete | 19,635 | T ) *discussion of consent issues (which are eventually resolved)
“Is he here?” Sam asked. “I don’t know,” said Steve. “I’m—hey, Bucky, are you here? Can you hear me?” “Or whatever you prefer to be called,” Sam put in. “Yeah,” Steve said. “It’s me, that dumb guy with all the problems? Remember me?”
Mini-Mart by biblionerd07 (complete | 5,369 | G )
Jesse Pinkman got as far as Iowa and took a job on the graveyard shift at a gas station mini-mart. One night, a homeless man comes in, and Jesse can’t stop himself from helping–and ends up getting some help in return.
How can a loser ever win by sirona (complete | 12,448 | M )
The Soldier should not be standing here, in the middle of a crowded room with obstructed exits, risking discovery with every second he remains rooted to the spot – but.
But. He’d had to know.
Blood by leveragehunters (Monkeygreen) (complete | 45,682 | T )
In a world where magic is as commonplace as electricity, HYDRA worships a god who craves order through death. They used His blood to create fierce Soldiers then enslaved them by chaining their souls.
The man who was James Barnes is the last Soldier, the rest having been put down after succumbing to the call of the Blood. One night, out of control after a mission, the increasingly unstable Soldier runs into Steve Rogers. Instead of being turned into a red smear on the ground, Steve successfully talks him down. HYDRA decides to keep him. The Soldier’s the last one they’ve got; if Steve can keep him calm he’s going to do it whether he likes it or not.
Like fractious racehorses have companion goats, they hand Steve off to the Soldier as a kind of pet. But studies have shown pets can ease depression, despair and loneliness, lead to an increased sense of safety and well-being, and provide a source of protection and unconditional love. HYDRA really should have reviewed the literature before they decided to give Steve to the Soldier. Especially since, once Steve Rogers is involved, protectiveness can get slightly out of hand.
letters we never sent by newsbypostcard (complete | 5,955 | M )
In 1944, Steve finds a stack of letters Bucky wrote to him during the war and never sent. In 2014, Bucky finds the same from Steve (and then steals them out of the Smithsonian).
In 2016, they run out of time again.
It turns out that neither one of them can quite break the habit.
Gonna shamelessly rec my own fic again - works/13406517/chapters/30715335. Thank youuuuuu
Thank you for writing in!
The Stars Crossed Right by CaliHart, cettevieestbien (WIP |34,006 | T)
Steve returns from the bathroom as soon as Bucky’s eyes close. “Buck!”
He groans. “Nope. I’m going back to bed. Nope.”“Bucky.”“No.”“We’re going to be late.”“To what?”“Your surprise.” Steve waits for Bucky to move, gives up after a moment. Then, like an asshole, he settles his tiny ass on Bucky’s hips and fucking tickles him.“Goddammit, Steve,” Bucky nearly shrieks. He opens his eyes wide and pushes at Steve’s massive shoulders. “Off, off.”Steve relents, but doesn’t get off — apparently, it’s just too funny. He drops so they’re chest to chest, laughing so hard he’s making them both shake with it.“Stevie,” Bucky complains, but he’s smiling wide enough for it to hurt. It doesn’t quite hit the intended mark.
A fic spanning from April 10th, 2011 to August 21st, 2016. Read as Bucky and Steve encounter relationship woes, superhero-dom, cute animals named after beloved characters, Bucky’s hilarious family, tragedy, and the Accords. Not necessarily in that order.

Part 1 of The Stars Crossed Right
For the anon looking for no smut but a deep love/bond, my fic for the bb this year is a canon compliant wwII action fic prominently featuring Steve and Bucky's companionate relationship, and it would count as ace friendly for anyone else who's interested in an angsty, plot-driven mission fic :^) It's called "Meet Me on the Darkest Night" by Cryofreeze x)
Thank you for writing in!
“I know you think it wasn’t my fault, Buck…”
“You had to make a decision, there was no right or wrong choice.”
Steve blinked miserably at the stone step beneath his knees, grinding grit into his so-called uniform. “Maybe I’m not cut out to be a Commanding Officer.” He forced back a lump in his throat threatening to constrict his voice. “Or Captain America…”
~ ~ ~ ~
After the Howling Commandos’ last mission goes awry, Steve questions his morals and self worth as a soldier… and as Captain America. He struggles to believe in himself and the man he thought he was, but being thrust back out on another dangerous mission gives him little time to choose between his own self-doubts or giving his all to save 1,000 prisoners of war from Hydra’s clutches.
With the aid of Peggy Carter and the unwavering support of Bucky Barnes, they set out on a rescue mission inside the confines of a medieval fortress in WWII Europe. However, Steve isn’t the only one to find the ghosts of the place crawl under his skin…
There’s angst, action and an emotionally driven core to the tale of how Steve Rogers is forced to come to terms with what it really means to be Captain America.
For the anon asking for fics without smut, anything by mambo? More heart less attack from this years big bang is also delightfully smut free
Thank you for writing in!
After SHIELD’s collapse, Steve comes back in New York. Without a war or crisis, he’s struggling to find his place in the world again. There’s time to relearn his city and time to wonder what he’s doing here.
When a mysterious guy hits on him on the subway, it’s a welcome interruption. Something resonates between the two of them, a connection neither of them try to deny. The trouble is that Barnes disappeared three years ago, and the more Steve learns, the more he wants to know.
But Barnes disappeared for a reason.
Sam rolls his eyes. “Yes, Steve, you could have a lead on a three year old mystery because you’re just that good, not because a random hipster flirted with you.”
“Well, when you put it that way,” Steve says.
Any long fics that don't have detailed smut? Most fics have really detailed smut and its just not my thing :// sorry if this is too much trouble
you should check our ace friendly tag! here are some other fics:
Or, the one where Captain America travels the world, learns how to be Steve Rogers again, and meets Bucky Barnes along the way.Also: the one where two old souls fall in love over young adult books, long distance calls, and texting at strange hours of the day.
Steve just wanted a job. He wasn’t expecting a marriage proposal. And he certainly wasn’t expecting to accept.
OR – in which one armed veteran, suffering insomniac, and grump extraordinaire Bucky Barnes gets turned into a puddle of goo by the tiniest, angriest, most wonderful guy in the entire universe.
After planning perfect weddings for New York’s elite, wedding planner Steve Rogers is ready to find love for himself.
But he didn’t anticipate falling in love with the tattoo artist who works down the street.
Bucky’s attempt to make it through another semester of grad school is greatly hindered when he accidentally buys a haunted sword off Craigslist from Steve Rogers, resident hermit. Find within: knitting clubs, ghosts, baristas, secret organizations, and weekly dinner parties.
for all the lovely asexuals here, leveragehunters not only writes some of the best fics ever, but none of them have any sex!!! at all!!!!! it's amazing!! strongly recommend!
oh my god I totally, totally love @leveragehunters fics! All of them are so amazing! Like I read one where Steve got turned into a horse and it somehow wasn’t crack and instead hit me in my heart??
Hi, I get that you're probably hella busy rn so no rush, take your time, but do you know of any more fics where Bucky or Steve is asexual? A quick ao3 search and look through the tag here didn't turn up anything I haven't read before, so I was just wondering if you know of anything I might have missed. Thank you, I love you, bye.
i haven’t read anymore :-( the best i would be is doing another ao3 search but if that turned up null i’ve got nothin’ although these two are on our blog but not in our tag so maybe they’ll be new? Architecture by debwalsh, Prolonged Exposure by AvaKelly
