Double Cat Dare You by lemondough

Summary
The New Avengers, fresh off their superhero debut, are suddenly drowning in press tours, interviews, and PR campaigns. It’s exhausting, but at least it means things are peaceful. For now.
With this rare period of no life-threatening danger looming over their heads, Bucky decides it’s time to get his life together: he decides to adopt a cat. And unexpectedly, he gives dating another shot, thanks to the charming volunteer at the local animal shelter. What he doesn’t realize is that she’s the same PR officer who terrorizes him with media briefings and talking points every weekday.
Y/N takes her job seriously. Maybe a little too seriously. So when she meets Bucky at the shelter, dressed way differently from how she usually looks, she conveniently leaves out the fact that she’s also his co-worker at the Watchtower. She doesn’t want to risk the promotion she’s been gunning for.
But keeping up the double life gets complicated. Fast.
She didn’t mean to flirt with her co-worker. She definitely didn’t mean to fall for him. And she really didn’t mean to lie.
Now she’s stuck juggling two identities, one very complicated crush, and a cat named Alpine.

Summary
Now this is where the real problem started. Bob had crouched down to pick up the stupid toy, totally oblivious to the unusual cutoff his soft knitted sweater had. He then leaned forward as the offending object rolled further towards the underside of the couch, a place no one often liked to venture, and that’s when John saw it. Apparently Bob needed to invest in a fucking belt as well because as his sweater rolled up his pants dropped down the barest amount, but John saw it regardless. Would know what it was on any given day of the week.
Robert Reynolds was wearing lacy fucking panties and John Walker was going to die right where he stood.

Summary
When your best friends demanded proof that your ‘perfect’ boyfriend wasn’t imaginary, there was clearly only one solution— fake a relationship with the grumpy-but-gorgeous neighbor across the hall. Bucky Barnes was many things: ex-assassin, world-class brooder, and definitely not your type. But when he needed a wedding date to avoid his meddling friends (the illustrious Sam Wilson), your mutually beneficial arrangement seemed to be foolproof.
The plan: fake smiles, strategic hand-holding, AND absolutely no falling in love.
The problem: Bucky was surprisingly soft beneath the gruff exterior, your friends were dangerously nosy, and it was hard to keep things just pretend when his smirk made your heart race.
When the fake feelings start feeling real, would you and Bucky survive the wedding season with your hearts intact?

Summary
“Can’t talk right now, I’m doing hot girl shit,” He said flippantly to whoever was calling him while he was in the zone. Sometimes he wondered why he still had friends. Or a job. Sometimes both.
“‘Hot girl shit?’” The man on the other end asked, sounding amused.
Oh, no. He recognized that voice. Quickly, a little bit too quickly, he leaned over on the stepping stool to grab his phone. It teetered, with him on it, and with a small yelp he fell into the counter and snatched it.
Licking his lips, he turned off the speakerphone and put it to his ear, “You didn’t hear that.”

Steve helps Bucky move his furniture. That’s it. That’s the fic. (Or is it?) y'all asked for more so here you go.

Summary
There were three things you knew about yourself:
1. Your Dad was a Grade-A asshole
2. You were a mess
3. The Winter Soldier saved your lifeThe world went to shit seven years ago, when you had been a fresh-faced twenty-year-old on the run.
You took the opportunity with both hands and rebuilt yourself, disappearing and emerging with a whole new identity.
That was until Bucky fucking Barnes crashed his way into Madripoor and completely blew your cover.
And worst of all- he wanted to help you because your name was on some dumb list of his.

Summary
“Nah, it’s fine, I—“ Wait, what was that? Bucky stopped in his tracks. He’d heard something, something that didn’t fit with the usual ambient clamor of the city, something that had all his instincts on edge.
“Buck? You there? Hello?”
“Yeah, sorry, I just heard something.” A whimper? A baby crying? There it was again, a soft and agonizingly pleading little sound that sounded hurt and scared.
“Shit, it’s the aliens,” said Sam. “Buck, be careful—“
“You literally just said there was no alien invasion situation,” said Bucky absently, turning slowly until he could pinpoint the sound better.
There. A cat—or more accurately, a kitten.
Bucky finds a cat that might be more than it seems. Sam and Bucky find a home together, and that might be more than it seems too.

Summary
Steve's life is simple. He owns an art supply store in downtown Brooklyn, takes commissions on the side, enjoys tending to his massive plant collection, and hangs out with his closest friends when his social battery isn't low. Most days are fairly uneventful but he likes the peace.
Or used to.
His life turns upside down after a month of befriending the Black Widow. Ever since Steve has faced nothing but turmoil. His spider plant has been tampered with, his upstairs neighbor doesn't know when to shut the hell up, and his asthma and allergies are rearing their ugly heads.
He also keeps running into a stranger— sharp gray-blue eyes— and he has no clue where they'd met. Then one day, Steve runs after the brown-haired man until there's nowhere to escape.
“Who are you?”
“A ghost story.”
