In January of 2015 I did a Bucky Barnes Fic Fest, where I took 40 prompts and wrote mini Bucky fics based on them. Here are the results, in more or less the order they were written.
These fics are also available in an anthology
at AO3.
There are three that were set in other universes I've written, so they've been posted elsewhere:
post-and-out: Bucky sitting on Steve's lap with Steve holding his hands while Peggy hurts him.
Title: Thirty Strokes
Rating: PG-13
Summary: They came home a little broken, but Peggy has never shied from the hard ways of fixing them up. (This is attached to the "Devils and Heathens" threesome 'verse, so was archived there as chapter two of three.)
Warnings: Mention of child murder. Kink (whipping with a riding crop).
Find "Thirty Strokes" here. ***
ophelia-rising: I was hoping for something with Bucky and Izzy in the "Hawkeye and Anklebiter" 'verse. I think a piece of day-to-day life would be fun!
Title: Tea And Superheroes
Rating: G
Summary: Nothing can shake Izzy's faith in the superhero Bucky Barnes. (This is attached to the Izzy Barton universe, so was archived as part of the Izzy Shorts.)

Title: Forever Home
Rating: G
Summary: Clint and Coulson probably won't be thrilled about this. (This is attached to the Izzy Barton universe, so was archived as part of the Izzy Shorts.)
