"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.

"Steve gave him one more chaste kiss to his lips before climbing out of bed. Stumbling a few steps as he awkwardly stripped off his soiled boxers on his way to the bathroom to wash up. Over his shoulder, Steve asked, 'Can you get the kids up for me?' 'Duh,' Bucky mocked, climbing out of bed and situating his underwear on himself while pulling on some fleece pajama pants and an old, ratty Stark Expo tee from their undergrad days. Lathering up, Steve couldn't help but thank all of his lucky stars that he had found Bucky all those years ago. Easily recognizing just how blessed he was that it had worked out for him and his lover when so many other relationships crashed and burned. Yet, he and Bucky remained strong. For whatever reason, he and his person, made it through so much and came out on the other end stronger than they could've ever anticipated." -Modern Domestic Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content (first chapter is literally smut) BOOK THREE OF FALLING SERIES ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters

"And, oh, he snapped back to himself. That one thought echoed inside his head. Friend. That one little word and Bucky's heart slipped down into his stomach. Just that one word brought the moment into harsh perspective. They were friends. They were only friends. It took a moment for Bucky to realize that he didn't want that. Perhaps he never had. But he was still trying to understand this himself. After all, Bucky had only dated girls. Not consciously only choosing girls. He just liked the attention from pretty girls. Bucky glanced over at Steve and amended: pretty people. Because Steve was just about the prettiest person Bucky had ever seen. Sure, Bucky had always had a thing for petite blonds. But did any of them have the smattering of freckles on Steve's high cheekbones? Did any of them get that adorable v between their brows when they thought? Or have such artistically beautiful hands as he did? And, oh, was Bucky Barnes f*cked." -Modern Stucky AU -Smut and other mature content -Compilation of one-shot style chapters from "A Place to Fall," "Jump then Fall," "Those Who Fall," and in between ***I don't own Marvel or the characters of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, nor any of the other Marvel characters
