Ficlet series: outtakes from before I fell down the rabbit hole and wrote an epic. (This is how I write epics, btw, I open a document and start writing things that amuse me until I suddenly get sucked into A PIT OF FEELS and that’s where the plot comes from.)
Bucky Barnes makes hilarious, sometimes-serious videos as part of his recovery.
Part Three:
The text appeared, bright yellow, on a blank black screen. Bucky Barnes’ Children’s Funtime Corner.
The Benny Hill theme started playing over a montage of images. Steve ran by, in workout gear, obviously just jogging for fitness, and suddenly Bucky dropped from above the frame, wrapped his thighs around his neck, and took him to the floor. “Ow,” Steve said, off-camera, weakly.
Sam came down a hallway in his underpants (exceedingly flattering boxer briefs), looking morning-sleepy and half-conscious (and fucking glorious), shuffling stiffly and yawning. Bucky jumped out at him and Sam screamed and reflexively punched Bucky so hard they both fell over.

I have crawled out of my cobwebbed tomb in the midnight gloaming
In order to post this self-indulgent bullshit in which characters from my various fictional fanthings meet each other. Like, it’s just Bucky and Steve from Ain’t No Grave meeting some Buckys and Steves from Except it Abide. That’s it. That’s the plot. So like, I guess you should read it if you’re kinky like that. There’s cussing, lots of sex jokes, and some light violence, but the only other naughtiness it contains is how gotdamn masturbatory writing fanfiction of ones own fanfiction is. So like, read it if you’re kinky like that, I guess!
Okay guys in light of recent events I wanted to do a rec list of my fave Jewish!Bucky fics! Most of these (all of them?) are Steve/Bucky because, well, that’s the corner of the fandom I’m in. I also limited it to works where Bucky’s religion wasn’t just a passing mention but was explored in some depth. If you have some faves I didn’t put on here, toss ‘em my way!
Teshuvah by
myownremedy. This is the first fic I thought of when I thought about this rec list. It is amazing. It’s Bucky recovering and coming to terms with what happened to him and what he was forced to do and reconciling that with his faith and it is beautiful. I read it over a year ago and I still think about it. Also features Jewish!Bruce and Muslim!Natasha!
Ain’t No Grave by @spitandvinegar. You knew it was going to be on here. Don’t even try to act surprised. If someday I may a rec list that this fic isn’t on, it’s either a really niche rec list or I’m trying to send out some kind of distress signal.
King’s County by @hansbekhart. It’s a series! Two completed works so far, both beautiful and long and exploring Bucky’s relationship with his faith and his family and Steve and the war plus what his family goes through during the war. (Actually I’m pretty sure hansbekhart writes Jewish!Bucky in all fic, and trust me when I say it’s not exactly going to be a hardship if you read all of them.)
Scappodaqui, @samtalksfunny on tumblr. Beautiful and heartbreaking look at Bucky’s family, especially his mother, grieving after his “death”. Packs such a big emotional punch.
Lasgalendil. This one’s a wip, Falsworth POV! It’s while the Commandos + 107th are being held in the HYDRA factory. Bucky does what he has to so he can keep the men safe, even when it’s awful and unsavory. It’s also one of those cool fics where half the story is in the reviews and discussion about a book Monty wrote about the war after it was over.
conjurewithrisk. Really haunting look at Bucky trying to remember who he is and what he believes in. Now with a bonus Jewish!Steve companion!
I’m gonna go ahead and reblog this again. I haven’t been reading a ton of fic as of late, otherwise I would update this list with new additions, but if anyone else has any add them on!
Might I rec two fics by hansbekhart? Ever I Saw Your Face and When I Put Away Childish Things are both really good.
Also Jaxington’s Roll On series is great and features Jewish!Bucky. http://archiveofourown.org/series/540190

Or, how Sam Wilson was too important to be in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
(2324 words, gen)
——————–
The Sam Wilson I saw in Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the Sam I see in this story. It’s a guy trying to balance the life he chose and the man he was. It’s good and I highly recommend it. Takes place post Age of Ultron and references a few things that happen in the movie. Great Sam character piece.
