FIC: Interbellum [MCU (Captain America), Sarah & Steve & Bucky & Winnifred]

Title: Interbellum
Author: Omnicat
Spoilers & Desirable Foreknowledge: Joe Johnston & co’s Captain America: the First Avenger, with Sarah Rogers’ name taken from the Russo brothers & co’s Captain America: Civil War and Winifred and George Barnes’ names taken from the Marvel comics.
Warnings: None.
Characters & Relationships: Sarah & Steve & Bucky & Bucky’s parents.
Summary: Steve’s soulmate words form a sentence. That, in itself, is a bad sign. // 1389 words
Author’s Note: I’ve read a ton of “tattooed with the first words your soulmate ever says to you” AUs that I enjoyed immensely, but I felt like it was time for one that actually acknowledged the rampaging buzzkill of an elephant in the room. Namely that there is no way in hell that the people in a world like that would still approach strangers or open conversations the way we do. Enjoy!

FIC: Double Dog Date [MCU, Bucky x Jane & Steve & Thor & Tony & Loki & etc]

Title: Double Dog Date
Author: Omnicat
Spoilers & Desirable Foreknowledge: The entire Marvel Cinematic Universe up to and including Ant-Man, but mostly the first and second Thor and Captain America installments.
Warnings: [zo serieus of ludiek als ik maar wil]
Characters & Relationships: Bucky x Jane & Steve & Thor & Tony, plus a bunch of cameos from others.
Summary: Loki returns and commits his most nefarious act of villainy yet: he... turns the Avengers into animals? Not the team’s usual fare, but alright, they can roll with that. Jane looks after Thor the alien monster dog while she searches for a way to turn the Avengers back to normal. Bucky, still on the run, can’t seem to shake Steve the labrador and his attempts at rekindling their friendship no matter how hard he tries. And along the way, the two so-called ‘dog owners’ take a shine to each other.
Author’s Note: Enjoy!

FIC: Halt and Set Hydra On Fire [Crossover, Grant Ward & Peggy Carter & Yori]

Title: Halt and Set Hydra On Fire
Author: Omnicat
Spoilers & Desirable Foreknowledge: Steven Lisberger & co’s Tron, Joseph Kosinsky & co’s Tron: Legacy, Joe Johnson & co’s Captain America: the First Avenger, and the Russo brothers & co’s Captain America: the Winter Soldier.
Warnings: A fight scene.
Characters & Relationships: Ward & Yori & a program written by Peggy
Summary: Grant Ward is sent to the Grid to plant Hydra’s – and more importantly, John Garrett’s – flag. The software that brought him there has different ideas.
Author’s Note: This fic was inspired by this dubsmash by Hayley Atwell and Brett Dalton, set to Miley Cyrus’s ‘Wreckingball’, where Brett pushes Hayley, who is sitting in the dark in a kind of glowing, circular swing. Everything Is Always Tron, so that’s the first place my mind went to when I saw it. Also, the flashbacks to how Garrett and Ward met were creepy to the max, like a how-to guide to Stockholm Syndrome and cult indoctrination. Enjoy!

Author’s Note: Enjoy!

FIC: Stars [MCU, Bucky x Jane & Helen]

Title: Stars
Author: Omnicat
Spoilers & Desirable Foreknowledge: The Marvel Cinematic Universe up to and including Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Warnings: Comparatively dark timelines, branding, non-consentual body modification, and very very ill-advised coping strategies. Is there a way to warn for “harming yourself for non-self-harming purposes” that’s clearly distinguishable from the “cutting” kind of self-harm? If so, insert that here too.)
Characters & Relationships: Bucky x Jane & Helen Cho
Summary: Bucky still can’t walk unsupported when they finally bring Jane back in, but that doesn’t stop him from meeting the rescue party at the door. // 1548 words
Author’s Note: Enjoy!

Author: Omnicat
Spoilers & Desirable Foreknowledge: Captain America: the First Avenger

Summary: Steve is adamant that he’s still a virgin. There may be something of a misunderstanding here. // 1226 words

FIC: Once Upon A Tide [MCU (Captain America), Steve x Peggy x Bucky & Their Kids]

Title: Once Upon A Tide...
Author: Omnicat
Spoilers & Desirable Foreknowledge: Captain America: the First Avenger & The Winter Soldier.
Warnings: Standard for canon, though only in hindsight.
Characters & Relationships: Bucky x Peggy x Steve & their kids
Summary: “Once upon a time, in a kingdom far far away, there lived a fisherman, a fisherwoman, and a merman...” // aka the one where Bucky Barnes is a shapeshifting merman, and his children are deeply unimpressed with the lack of imagination that goes into their bedtime stories. The alternative is... unfortunate, though.
Author’s Note: Enjoy!

( Once Upon A Tide... )

Hook, Line, and Sinker (WORK IN PROGRESS)
The lives and loves of Bucky Barnes, shapeshifting merman.
Guppy Love
Bucky can’t sing or swim, except that he totally can. It’s complicated.
aka the one where Bucky Barnes is a merman and the greatest tragedy in a child’s life is not being able to go swimming with your friends // Steve x Bucky
Lots of Fish in the Sea
     Chapter: Bucky and Steve
     Chapter: Bucky and Peggy
     Chapter: Bucky and Steve and Peggy
     Chapter: Steve and Peggy
     Chapter: Bucky
Hydra had Bucky on a lab table for god knows how long and never discovered his secret. Cue Agent Carter walking in on it pretty much the moment he and Steve make it back to camp.
aka the one where Bucky Barnes is a merman and once you’ve lived through your single worst nightmare, ‘chasing tail’ puns are a close second // Steve x Peggy x Bucky
Plankton
Canon-divergent AU branching off from the more or less canon-compliant Hook, Line, and Sinker. Steve walks away from the wreckage of the Valkyrie and returns home in time to propose to Peggy on V-E day, and some fifteen years later, the Winter Soldier's handlers make the grave mistake of sending Bucky Barnes after his best guy and girl's young children.
It's all domestic fluff and hurt/comfort and suburban absurdity from there. :D The mermaid thing may or may not be relevant or even visibly present in any given installment. Fics with "fish" theme titles contain overt mermaid stuff, fics with "bird" themed titles don't.
Heaven
A man may take himself out of the war, and the war out of himself, but what does he put back in?
Early Birds
They have a lot of options. Not least of which: going back to sleep while the grown-ups do their thing.
The Christmas Cookie Caper
What's a brainwashed assassin turned suburban dad supposed to do to keep his homemade baked goods safe around here?
