Weekly Fic Rec: Till then we must live by Imagineitdear

Link to AO3

Author’s summary:

 

They have a good thing going, he has to acknowledge. Steve spends nearly every day with Bucky, basking in his presence, and Bucky can feed off a very willing, apparently very delicious prey. Steve gets meaningful touches, and Bucky gets his food. What’s wrong with that?

 

Still he lays in his bed for hours, wondering what exactly he would say to Bucky if he did follow Sam’s advice. Every idea his brain cooks up sounds more terrible than the last:

 

Hi, I’ve never been into boys but I’m apparently into demons?

 

Hi, thanks for having my back all these years, would you care to have it against the wall?

 

Hi, I notice you’ve gotten to know my dick, may I properly introduce you to my ass?

 

Hi, I’ve loved you since we were in diapers, can I love you till we’re in them again?

My notes:

 

This was precisely a case of didn’t know I needed it before I had it. The complex scenario is very well realized, and i really loved their characterizations as well as the resolution. Heed the tags, though!
