"Playfully, Steve rolled his eyes, but accepted Bucky's extended hand. Allowing the handsome brunet to lead him onto the dance floor. Despite Steve being two left feet, Bucky expertly twirled him. Easily leading them, even with Steve tripping and stumbling over his own feet. But Steve liked it best when Bucky pulled him close. Swaying them the way he often did when they danced together, regardless of how out of sync with the tune it was. Intimately, Bucky held Steve's lower back just a little tighter as he stared into Steve's eyes. Leaning in, Bucky's close-trimmed beard brushed against Steve's as he sang along into Steve's ear, 'I love you, always forever. Near or far, closer together. Everywhere, I will be with you. Everything, I will do for you.'" -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content BOOK TWO OF EVERY NEW BEGINNINGS SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters

"Pressing his lips together in an attempt to calm his utter happiness, Steve gave Brock's hands a giddy squeeze. Especially once the pastor turned towards Brock and instructed, 'Repeat after me. 'I, Brock Henry Rumlow.'' Taking in a deep breath, Brock started, 'I, Brock Henry Rumlow.' 'Take you, Steven Grant Rogers,' the pastor continued. 'Take,' Brock paused. 'Take,' the pastor encouraged, 'Take you, Steven Grant Rogers.' Brock nodded, clearing his throat, 'Take, take you... Steve... take you, Steve --' Steve leaned forward, urging Brock to continue. Already knowing exactly what to say because he had been waiting for this day, this moment, since he was a kid. 'I can't,' Brock said instead. Steve blinked a couple of times, 'What?' Brock lowered his voice and repeated, 'I can't. I can't do this.' Leaning closer, 'This really isn't funny.' 'I'm not joking,' Brock assured. Brock shook his head and gave the room a side glance as he clarified, 'This... isn't what I... want.' -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content -Some depictions of domestic violence -Some descriptions of embalming a body BOOK ONE OF EVERY NEW BEGINNINGS SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters

"Smiling, Steve brought Bucky's hand up to his mouth and pressed a kiss to the back of his hand, despite the mittens. And just as much as it had the first time, it melted Bucky's heart like a marshmallow in a mug of hot chocolate. Bucky was sure that that was exactly why Steve kept doing it. 'You're such a sap,' Bucky affectionately complained while Steve pulled into his driveway. Cutting the engine, Steve playfully rolled his eyes. Locking his eyes with Bucky, Steve pointedly lifted his hand again and kissed it, again. Bucky wished that he didn't love that so much, but he did. 'C'mere,' Bucky lovingly demanded as he brought his free hand up to Steve's face and cupped that handsome jawline of his, guiding their faces together for a kiss." -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content BOOK TWO OF SEASONS SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters

"The front door opened and Meatloaf jumped off Steve's lap as she scurried off for his closet while Steve quickly climbed off his bed. His socked feet slipping on the hardwood floor, but that didn't deter him one bit. Hearing the familiar and deeply missed voices as they greeted Sarah and Joseph. Just as Steve predicted, everyone was getting along swimmingly. Eddie's giggles matched Tibby's and Steve's heart soared as high as the corner of his lips did as they pulled up into a smile that crinkled all the way up to his blue eyes. When Steve's gaze landed on Bucky, his grin grew even more than he thought it could. Even painfully so. But Steve couldn't stop smiling even if he wanted to. Steve blamed Bucky. How was he expected to keep his emotions in check when Bucky was looking at him like that." -Modern Stucky AU -Language and other mature content BOOK TWO OF HOME SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters ***Original artwork created by @Toby_aka_Gabby

"Then, Natasha perked. Her idea giving her so much renewed energy that Steve could practically feel it rippling through the air to him. Steve looked over at Natasha and watched as she stubbed out her cigarette on the open windowsill. Excitedly, Natasha stated, 'You should come with me.' Only it didn't sound like a suggestion, it sounded more like a plea. 'I don't know,' Steve trailed off, taking another bite of the black licorice. 'Steven,' Natasha whined as she dropped down onto her knees and theatrically slid across the bathroom tiles to him. Clasping her hands together and pouting her plump lower lip, Natasha theatrically begged, 'Please? You're my savior! My best friend! My precious rage-filled dumpling!' Playfully, Steve rolled his eyes, but before he could answer, Natasha continued. Giving Steve the biggest puppy dog eyes that she could conjure, she pleaded, 'Stevie Poo?' 'Okay, fine,' Steve giggled, caving, just like he always did." -Modern Stucky AU -Language and other mature content BOOK ONE OF HOME SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters ***Original artwork created by @Toby_aka_Gabby NOW A PUBLISHED NOVEL

"With a sigh of relief and an ache in his heart of the longed familiarity, Bucky dropped his bag. Home, Bucky took in a grounding breath. Crossing the small room, Bucky plopped face first down on the bare twin size mattress. The frame was a bit snug with Bucky's feet almost hanging over the end of the bed. But that didn't stop Bucky's eyes from fluttering shut. Didn't stop Bucky from taking in a deep breath of the smell of fresh air and lake water. 'Finally,' Bucky contently sighed, 'I'm home.'" -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content BOOK ONE OF SEASONS SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters NOW A PUBLISHED NOVEL

"If you're reading this, it means that you are able to give Bucky everything that I wanted to give, but wasn't able to in my allotted time. I wish that I could be sore about it. I really wish that I could've been the one. But everything happens -- and if I'm being real honest, I knew from the moment that I met James Buchanan Barnes that he would be the love of my life. The thing is, I also knew that I wasn't the love of his." -"Rude Boy" Bonus Story -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content BOOK TWO OF BLUE SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters

"Hoping that Brock didn't see the blush taking hold of his face, Steve quickly dropped his gaze back down to his sketchbook. At least with his gaze trained on the page, he could pretend to be focusing. Key word being pretend. Because despite himself, there was a thrill to knowing that Brock couldn't stop watching him. And Steve realized just how wrong it was. Knew that he shouldn't have been using Brock this way. As a filler. As a stand-in for who Steve really wanted to be with.

"Gesturing towards his roommate, Sam introduced the pair, 'This is Steve. Steve, this is Bucky.' Bucky neighborly extended his hand out to Steve while telling the petite blond, 'Nice to meet you.' Steve eagerly took Bucky's hand and nodded. That was all he could do. Steve's mouth felt entirely too dry in that moment and he wondered if Bucky could feel just how clammy his hand was. Steve's heart was racing in his chest, and he was positive that he was shaking Bucky's hand entirely too long. Once he consciously realized that the handshake was completely too long, Steve instantly dropped Bucky's hand. Bucky gave Steve an amused smirk." -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content BOOK ONE OF FALLING SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters

"Steve sat there for a moment. Usually people sat around and talked with him more. Flirted ostentatiously even. This person, however, had simply gotten up and left. Turning around, Bucky continued to walk, backwards this time, and waved goodbye as he called out, 'It was nice meeting you, Steve.' Steve stayed on the bench, dumbstruck, and waved back in reply. Steve had no idea if he would ever see this Bucky person again, but he sure wished that he would." -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content -My first try at writing a smutty fanfiction BOOK ONE OF BLUE SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters
