"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

"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

"Bucky had been in so many fights that he had even gotten a reputation about being a 'bad seed' but the teachers and parents that labeled him as such didn't matter much to Bucky. Bucky didn't pick fights, but he sure as hell would finish them. When he met the blond, that was exactly what he did. However, the blond wasn't happy about Bucky saving him. If anything, the blond seemed more pissed off than he had seemed with the bullies, and they were the ones who he should've been angry with. Bucky had been shocked by the blond's reaction and from that moment on, Bucky tried to keep his distance. The operative word being tried." -Modern Stucky AU with skinny!Steve and badboy!Bucky -My first try at writing fanfiction -Some mature language ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any other Marvel characters

"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

"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.

"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

"This was happening. This was really, really happening. Bucky and Steve were going to be fathers. They would be leaving the hospital with their child. Nothing was ever going to be the same. And neither of them could wait. "Standing in the elevator, waiting for the car to finally reach the maternity wing, Steve slipped his hand down to Bucky's, lacing their fingers. They had been through so much over the past twelve years. Exploring the world. Discovering themselves. Finishing the bucket list.

"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
