"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

"As though his feet were controlled by something other than himself, Steve stepped out of the trees. Not paying attention to any of the other figures standing as still as statues, Steve crossed the well-lit area. His eyes roamed over the boy. He was taller with a fit, muscular frame. A frame that Steve had never possessed, but had dreamed about being housed in all his life. The boy was the embodiment of perfect. With golden tan skin and caramel colored freckles that dusted his broad shoulders, Steve felt dizzy. This was everything that Steve wanted. This was everything that Steve had been promised. A strong, capable body that would be his as soon as he signed his name in Hydra's book. Signed away his life for the cause. Become another one of Alveus' minions. Be another hive-mind." -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content -This is my first horror fic, so fingers crossed it goes well!
