Omegaverse Fic -- "Unspoken"

[Steve 'n Bucky

I've been dabbling in some Omegaverse fics recently. This one held my attention because of its "Alpha in the streets, Omega in the sheets" theme!

Unspoken by humapuma

My Summary --

Alpha Agent Barnes is confused. He feels an overwhelming need to scent, scentmark, bite and even fuck another Alpha, desires which he regards as shameful. Even worse, the other Alpha is Captain America, his commanding officer. What Bucky doesn't know is Steve's secret -- he was born an Omega but the serum turned him Alpha. Steve's Omega genes are dormant but Bucky is reawakening them.

Excerpt --

Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck, Bucky’s mind screamed at him. He’d just accosted his commanding officer in his apartment, held him against a wall, and marked him. He’d even lost his mind so much, he bit Steve, like an Alpha would bite an Omega to claim them.

 The instinct had been so strange. He’d never once considered doing such a thing – not even to an Omega – and yet, he’d done it.

 To Steve.

 Captain America.

 He could still taste it.

 The almost sweet smell of his skin, something Bucky assumed was his soap, and the tang of his blood, it was all inside Bucky, overpowering his senses. 

 But then, Steve had nonchalantly let Bucky off the hook by saying, “I heal quickly,” and Bucky’s teeth ached to do it again.

 What was this? Why was it so overpowering?

 Finally reaching the doors that opened to the outside, Bucky inhaled a shuddering breath. Despite the insanity of what had just occurred, Bucky actually felt… calm.

 He felt good. Really good.

 In spite of this, he swore it would never happen again. His rut brain had been confused, the fuck-or-fight instinct simply mistook the situation. There was no possible way he had gone to Steve to… 

 To…

 Bucky shook himself and stormed across the campus, finding his car and driving back to the city as quickly as he could. All the way there, his mind replayed the encounter over and over, until he’d convinced himself.

 That was… until it happened again.

"Cutting A Rug"

Occasionally they put on some old vinyls with songs they used to dance to back then, but just never together. Until now.

And sometimes Steve hums along.

In order to have a normal day, try not to imagine Bucky teaching Steve how to dance outside of a music hall in the last rays of daylight in the 30s and then Steve teaching Bucky how to dance decades later at midnight in their apartment to the same songs.

Just don’t think about it.

A Dark, Disturbing and Dystopian Fic

Safe From Harm by Odsbodkins

My Summary --

Hydra has won and rules the world. Any of the defeated Avengers who are still alive are auctioned off, including Captain America. Yasha the Winter Soldier doesn't have enough money to buy him, so he kidnaps and hides Steve in a secret super-soldier-proof cell in his home. In Hydra's brutal society where violence and punishment rule, the Winter Soldier makes Steve his sex slave, justifying his sexual, emotional and physical abuse as keeping Steve safe from even worse harm from Hydra. The Winter Soldier's only problem is this faraway, unknown "Bucky person's" voice in his head which keeps chastising him for how he is treating Steve.

Excerpt --

That night the faraway voice berates him for hurting Steve. He wishes it would shut up.

He sleeps badly and takes it out on Steve the next morning. He takes him hard, poorly stretched and poorly lubricated, makes him bleed, scratches his skin with the metal arm so he bleeds there as well. Then he jerks Steve off, makes sure he comes, because Steve’s humiliation at his own response is even better than causing him pain.

It makes him feel better for all of two minutes, but that damn voice is berating him again before he has even finished showering. He leaves food for Steve, but Steve doesn’t even look up when he comes into the room.

The healing factor does its work, and when Yasha returns that evening the only signs that he hurt Steve are the bloodstains on the quilt. He slides down the wall to sit facing Steve, just out of range if he chooses to lash out again.

“Do you get it yet?”

“You’re still Bucky.”

“He do that to you, then?”

This time Steve’s reaction is muted. He’s had time to think about it, control himself. “Natasha told me what they did to her. What they can do to people. I think you are what Bucky has become.”

“Is that important?”

“Why did you bring me here?”

“Perhaps I just want Captain America as my personal sex slave.”

Steve holds up his wrists, looks at the thick shackles around him. “It’s a lot of effort for a lay.”

“Perhaps you’re my trophy.”

“Locked in a windowless, soundproofed room, hidden from everyone? I’m not a trophy. I’m a secret.”

Yes, Steve is much cleverer than people credit. “Perhaps–”

“You don’t know, do you? You’ve done all this, and you don’t know why.”

“I don’t have to explain myself to you–”

“But you do have to explain it to yourself, and you can’t.”

“Is this supposed to talk me out of fucking you again? Because it won’t. You’re mine, Steve. Whenever I want you.”

He stands up and walks out. The faraway voice is a little quieter this evening, and he sleeps better. He still fucks Steve in the morning (and wonders if this is what addiction feels like), but is gentler, doesn’t hurt him.

Cold Storage

First and last look at Bucky in Civil War.

[text and gifset

by gifbuckybarnes]

When the Cosmic Cube delivers the Winter Soldier file to Steve Rogers (in Captain America #11: The Winter Soldier run, written by Ed Brubaker and drawn by Steve Epting), we see the story of Bucky becoming the Winter Soldier told through the file reports.

During the period between handlers in the late 1980s, just before Major General Karpov dies, the Winter Soldier is decommissioned and put into storage inside his cryostasis tank, along with most of Department X’s “abandoned experiments”.

This is shown in the comic panel here.
