Summary: Insomnia sucks, but going on a date with a handsome man doesn’t. Steve comes to the rescue so you can enjoy a night out with your best friend’s brother, Sam. The date is fun and ends sweetly, but Stephanie is pretty sure it’s not a love connection. Steve’s night with a room full of teenage girls goes well, and a late-night text from Bucky reminds him of something he’s avoiding.

Pairings: Steve Rogers x OFC
Warnings: Fluff, insecurity, single-parent angst and later on, adult content. For now, just getting to know you chit chat and longing looks.
Author notes: I just want to thank everyone who has been so wonderfully kind and supportive in reading my “baby.” 🙂 For this chapter, I remember that when I wrote it I thought about Steph being attracted to the Sam we all know and love, Sam Wilson. Well, that didn’t work out, but because I didn’t have the forethought to change it, I left the name Sam. THIS SAM DOES NOT REFER TO THE FALCON. I know, I know, confusing. But I also know that this was the 4th chapter I had ever written for fanfic EVER, so I’m cutting myself some slack. 🙂 I hope you allow me some, too. Thanks lovies! – Steph
It was never hard for you to fall asleep. Stay asleep, yes, but fall asleep, no. Tonight was one of the exceptions. You looked at your phone again, 2:15am. Sigh. You’d had a particularly challenging case at work that you couldn’t let go of, your 12-year-old daughter wasn’t feeling well so tomorrow looked like a day at home, and you had a date Friday night with the brother of one of your best friends. Your mind was just too busy and wasn’t slowing down anytime soon. Neither FaceBook nor listening to the “Sounds of Nature” app was helping. Might as well get up.
Summary: A Marvel Alternate Universe work. Lizzie is a confident fat chick who doesn’t flaunt or apologize for it. One night after she sang a particularly challenging number during her birthday party, she was approached by the most gorgeous man she’d ever met, whose attention she took for kindness, not interest. Thanks to the people who love her, he finds her on Tinder and though she is skeptical of his motives, she decides to swipe right.
Pairings: OFC Plus-Size Babe x AU Steve Rogers

A/N: Thank you to EVERYONE who took the time to read, like, reblog and/or comment on the first two parts of this fic! I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I appreciate knowing if you feel this wrapped it up? Just curious of your opinions. 🙂 Thank you – Steph
At the end of the performance, Steve waited while you congratulated your fellow performers and your director. Your sister and her girlfriend were hanging around, smiling sneakily, making you giggle with spent adrenaline and new feelings of excitement.
“Are you sure you’re ok that we’re not going?” Your little sister was the person in your life who knew you better than anyone else. She wanted to push you, gently, but make sure you knew how much she loved you. As she spoke you reached your hand out to Steve and he took it, holding it tightly and kissing your cheek.
Summary: Daily life isn’t as glamorous as it is portrayed on TV and in the movies, but having Captain America as your neighbor and now friend is a nice bonus. Your family’s life goes on day by day, and Steve Rogers is making it a bit easier. Both you and he feel like a platonic relationship is where you’re at, but some other feelings may be creeping in.

Author’s Note: Hi all! Thank you so much for your wonderful support, feedback, reblogs, likes, and comments – I appreciate them all because it means you took the time to do another little thing for another person to make them feel good. So, mission accomplished I feel great about this! This fic is definitely my baby, and I know there are going to be groany moments, but bear with me. 🙂
Having Captain America as your next door neighbor came with some perks. You always felt safe in your apartment building, but now, you seemed to have a feeling of calm. Something about being able to take down an alien invasion made cat burglars seem less scary. Steve was an exceptionally generous neighbor, and it would have been very easy to take advantage of his kindness. He regularly volunteered to walk with you and your girls after dark, pick up things like coffee and bagels while he was out, and keep an eye on you now and then during your early-morning walks (from afar, obviously, since your walking speed and his running speed were far from compatible.) Both of you tried to respectfully observe the friend/neighbor-of-the-opposite-sex boundary. He always asked if he was “nosing around” too much, you always checked in when you or the girls had knocked a few too many times on his door. It felt like a friendly and equitable give-and-take, except when it came to school fundraisers.
Summary: Your life as a busy, working divorced mom of a teenager and tweenager in Brooklyn was busy and happy. Your new neighbor is certainly polite and friendly. While you admit he’s gorgeous, your hope is that he doesn’t mind the obnoxious noise levels created by your girls and their ever-present friends. It never occurs to you to that anything more could develop, other than neighborly friendship.

Author’s Note: This is the first fanfiction I ever wrote. I fell into this lovely writing world, and I thought I would throw my thoughts into the mix. I’ve edited it a BIT to get rid of the errors and parts that made me cringe the most, but I left some in, too, because it’s a rite of passage for your first fic to be awkward, at least for me! 🙂 Please be kind!! (and there are lots more chapters and I swear, thanks to my betas, they get a lot better). Enjoy!

Oh @stevieang there is so much tooth-rotting fluff in this series that I’m almost scared of what’s going to happen next. Is the other shoe going to drop? Will something happen to keep them apart? Or will they get the happy ending they both deserve? Because, either way, I’m here for it.

When Lia woke up she stretched. Not in the “wake-up-work-out-pre-stretch” way, but in the “look-like-a drunk-cat-while-in-bed” way. She reached her arms above her head, touched her fingertips to her headboard, stuck her toes out of the blankets and made a noise akin to an old woman getting out of a low chair.
“What the heck are you doing?” James sat up in bed and grinned at her while she did the same thing she’d done every morning since she was little. Though they had been together a few months, it was the first time he witnessed this particular activity, as they did not always spend the night at each other’s houses and when they did, she typically got out of bed first.
@stevieang Sequels can be tricky. They can kick and fight and make you want to throw in the towel, and sometimes, create a huge sophomore slump. This is not the case.
I can feel the love that Lia and James have for each other, and good God, it’s amazing and pure and downright perfect.
You completely nailed Lia’s ‘fear’ of telling James she loved him, the fact that he might not reciprocate those feelings. And, thank God for Sam. I am so happy that Lia didn’t stop seeing him. She needs him about as much as she needs James.
I am metaphorically holding my breath for chapter two.
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x OFC | Word Count: 4678 Warnings: Language and snark
An hour later, Penny opened the door and came face to face with a seething Bucky.
“You don’t ever lock me outta a room again!”
The anger on him had Penny cringing back. Shocked by the intensity and already exhausted from the medication, she hadn’t the energy nor the will to deal with him again.
“Please don’t yell at me,” she whispered. “Not right now.”
Summary: Sergeant Bucky Barnes is trying to acclimate to the world, after 70 years of internment in another man’s mind. After rehabilitation and time, his friends reach out to find someone to help him achieve the dream his Ma once had for him – getting a college education.
Pairings: Bucky Barnes x OFC (platonic, so far :))
Warnings: Swearing and fluffy fluff fluff
A/N: Just a bit of fluff I wrote tonight. I thought there might be a part 2 in this, but maybe not 🙂 Curious what you think!
“I cannot do this. This is so stupid, I’m so stupid.”
Bucky Barnes had had enough of math, of reading, of writing. All he wanted to do was pass the SAT to get into college. He didn’t want to do anything fancy, just thought learning more stuff would help him acclimate to the world. It had been 2 years since the Winter Soldier had been put to rest and this new man, this James Buchanan Barnes 2.0, had come into being.
Elizabeth Hollis was the head of the student support services at a local college. She helped every kind of student, traditional or not, meet the demands of getting in and staying in. She supervised a staff of 15 professionals with all types of academic and therapeutic backgrounds that helped students, mainly those with learning challenges, do their best.
@stevieang please say that you’ll continue this. I mean, I don’t want to beg, but damnit, I will. lol
For a one shot that’s almost 4k, it sure didn’t read like it. You grabbed my attention and held it throughout the whole thing, not a lot of people can do that.
I love how you didn’t dumb Bucky down. Just because he’s 100, doesn’t mean he’s dumb, even having been frozen and having his brain shoved into a blender. But I also love that you didn’t make it super easy for Bucky. He had to work for it, and that’s the most realistic thing I’ve ever seen / read.
Summary: Uninterrupted domestic bliss is always a good thing when you’re a parent of 3, but when you’re married to Captain America and saving the world always comes first, you learn to savor the days together.
Word Count: 980
Pairings: Steve Rogers x OFC
Warnings: Sexual language and situations, but not true smut. Married love and a tiny bit of domestic angst – the kind that always comes with parenting.
A/N: I’m writing a series that I don’t plan on releasing until it’s complete, but I wanted to just write a little story, ‘cause I felt like it. I don’t know if this is a drabble or a one-shot, but whatever it is, it’s a one-timer. Enjoy!
“Steve, I’m waiting….”
“I’m wearing the nightgown you love. The one that’s going to be on the floor as soon as you get up here.”
Having just put their children on the school bus, Steve ran back into the house and slammed the door. When Captain America does that, the door could very easily come off the hinges, but since it still functioned, he must have held back.
