    Summary

    “Lots of motorcycles,” Bucky says, aiming for nonchalant and probably missing it by a mile. “Lots of leather. If you’re up for it…” He licks his lips, takes the plunge. “Maybe you want a cyborg cowboy bitch on the back of your bike as you zip up and down some country roads?”

    Or: Bucky retreats to Texas to raise goats and work on his recovery, while Steve wrestles with shield and duty in New York. But life in Podunk, Texas (population: Bucky) isn’t what he expected it to be, not really. There’s a lot less cactus and a lot more goats. A lot more time to think and lot less Steve. That last is a problem. He really should have seen it coming.

    Summary

    “Someone,” Strange says, “is selling cryptid components.” He pauses, and Sam could swear he’s looking at Bucky. “And making a killing doing it. Literally.”

    “Cryptid components?” Natasha asks, leaning forward. “What are those in the context of this mission?”

    Strange shifts his eyes from Bucky to Natasha. “Nascent fishkin scales—” he starts.

    “Fishstick what, now?” Stark interrupts.

    “You would know them as merfolk,” Strange continues, “vampire teeth, chupacabras claws, cockatrice spurs, phoenix feathers, sasquatch fur.” He makes a dismissive motion with one hand. “The list is long and the specifics are immaterial.”

    (Or: Bucky and Sam go undercover as a married couple on a mission to break up a poaching ring that’s attacking cryptids. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the magical community and explore their human-selkie relationship… but can they stand (and protect) their neighbors?)

    Summary

    “Hide that,” he says, forcing the words out past every instinct. “As well as you can, all right? Before morning.”

    Steve stares at him blankly, like he needs a moment to work this out, then swallows once, sharply. "What's your name?" he asks at last—asks as he stands there with the pelt in his hands.

    And oh, he thinks suddenly, what is his name? He can’t speak it, not with this mouth, he can’t sing it into the air like he can in the ocean. He just shakes his head; like his nakedness, it’s something he can't explain. Steve nods, just nods, his eye swelling shut and blood drying on his shirt collar, and says "we’ll figure it out."

     

    (An AU where Bucky is a young selkie who is accidentally called to Steve and ends up staying around to help this poor, wretched kid not die.)
