some recent fic recs

[chase_acow]

so today over at snowflake_challenge the task is to rec some fanworks, and I thought I'd share some recent(ish) Sam/Bucky things I've read.

I like how chill Bucky is and how somehow Sam is still vaguely irritated but totally on board with this first time.

Summary:Sam always had a thing for people who are good at what they do. The smartest girl in his dorm writing code. Riley dipping and soaring, hooting in the air next to him. Steve calling out “on your left!” as he laps him around the Washington Mall. Now, alarmingly, that same principle of attraction has apparently extended to Bucky fucking Barnes rolling a joint.

Well fuck, Sam thinks.

I would basically rec everything this author has written, so if dubious consent because of aliens isn't your thing, please do take a gander at their past works, because they are so, so good.

Summary: “Thanks for that, but it didn’t work,” Bucky calls, in case their captors are still listening.

“Hey,” Sam hisses. “Maybe don’t insult our new alien overlords.”

So this one would usually be a little out of my bubble but I gave it a chance and enjoyed it. I liked the path Sam took to the relationship, but mostly it's about Bucky and a bit of worldbuilding that I really enjoyed. It's a second story in a series, but I didn't read the first it's Steve/Tony if you're interested, and I think it works just fine on its own.

Summary:Bucky knows what he wants. He wants Sam Wilson, and Sam’s trick to dying fabric a true blue.

But no, he can’t just get that. Of course not.
