Title: Ever Ever Coming Home
Author: Em
Rating: Teen
Word count: ~1,870
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Summary: Bucky must feel the tether between them. He may not understand it, but he hasn't strayed. Even followed Steve from D.C. to New York. That has to mean something. Steve knows: that has to mean something.

Notes: Many thanks to sopdetly for betaing and for thinking when I was much to tired to think. Written as a response to getyourwordsout 2020 Yahtzee; prompt: Patient

MCU Fic: Grand Declarations (Teen)

2020-05-16T13:49:44Z

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Title: Grand Declarations
Author: Em
Rating: Teen
Word count: ~1,000
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Summary: 2012 via 2023. When Bucky joins Steve on his mission to return the Infinity Stones to the timestream, they steal a moment for themselves and Steve considers all the time they've lost. (Or, the one when Steve finally pulls his head out of his ass and wears his heart on his sleeve.)

Notes: Thanks to sopdetly for betaing and for exploding in heart emojis. Written as a response to getyourwordsout 2020 Yahtzee; prompt: Playful

Also the narrative convenience at the end of Endgame is so dumb. Why send ten heroes to retrieve the stones and only one to put them back? Pfft.

Rating: Teen
Word count: ~790
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Author: Em
Rating: Mature
Word count: ~1,360
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Title: Just Once
Author: Em
Rating: Teen
Word count: ~875
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Summary: 1944. Steve's used to his squad's lack of sleeping habits, but it's still a surprise when Bucky slips out of the shadows and sits next to Steve. It's even more of a surprise when Bucky kisses him. (This summary does not sound as angsty as this fic is.)

Notes: Thanks to sopdetly for betaing and for permitting me to hurt her heart. Written as a response to getyourwordsout 2020 Yahtzee; prompt: Warm

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Title: What Does Bravery Taste Like
Author: Em
Rating: Teen
Word count: ~1,070
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Summary: Steve's never shied from the consequences of his actions—stand up for someone, take a punch, get back up. But for as happy he is to wear a shiner on his face, there's one consequence he can't accept. (It's Bucky finding out how much he's into him, if you needed that spelled out.)

Notes: Thanks to sopdetly for betaing and putting up with all my angst. Written as a response to getyourwordsout 2020 Yahtzee; prompt: Strong

Rating: Teen
Word count: ~1,810
Pairing: Steve/Bucky

Summary: MCU/SG-1 Fusion. When the fire rain seemingly destroys the stargate on Edora, Steve has to contemplate life on an alien planet... while separated from Bucky. Inspired by the SG-1 episode "A Hundred Days."

Notes: Many thanks to sopdetly for inspiring this fusion and for putting up with all of the angst. Also, I don't think I've ever written a Jack/Daniel Hundred Days fic, but it would pretty much look like this.

MCU Fic: Home Is Never Where You Left It (Teen)

2020-04-17T23:30:42Z

Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe/Stargate SG-1 Fusion
Title: Home Is Never Where You Left It
Author: Em
Rating: Teen
Word count: ~1,350
Pairing: pre-Steve/Bucky (or, post-Steve/Bucky? look, there's memory loss involved)

Summary: MCU/SG-1 Fusion. (SG-MCU, if you will.) Things go pear-shaped on a mission to P8X-325. Steve's scientists are pinned down and separated from them, and Bucky seems to remember this planet. Doesn't remember his relationship with Steve, but one thing at a time, Rogers.

Notes: Many thanks to sopdetly for the prompt and then for beta reading what immediately spilled out of my head. (And yes, I will be writing more of these, including the "A Hundred Days" retelling that rudely suggested itself.)

HP Fic: Obelus (Teen)

2019-08-16T23:54:29Z

Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: Obelus
Author: Em
Rating: Teen
Word count: ~14,000
Pairing: Remus/Sirius; Regulus, Marauders
Prompt: "I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun." - from the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Summary: The lines dividing Sirius's life have always been clear—Gryffindors vs Slytherins, Death Eaters vs the Order, Sirius vs Blacks, Marauders vs Everyone Else. When Regulus comes to Sirius, the lines begin to blur, and even as his relationship with Remus deepens, he's never felt more alone.
Warning: off-screen canon character death, so if you read the character list, you know who bites it.

Notes: This story grew out of me wondering how Sirius and Remus could have been together during the war, but suspected each other of being the spy by the end. Written as part of Team Sirius for rs_games 2017. Many thanks to sopdetly for her encouragement, beta skills, and superior Quidditch knowledge.

Rating: Teen

Prompt: 005. Lasts (Big Damn Table)
Summary: Stargate: Continuum Fic. Everything about this timeline sucks, including the inferior Jack O'Neill showing up at Daniel's apartment door just ahead of the military escort. What the hell does he want?

Notes: I recently discovered this nearly finished fic in my WIP folder. Imagine my surprise when I realized I started it in 2009, finished the draft in 2017, and just never bothered to finish the continuity check. Thanks to melayneseahwak for the beta and to this fandom for still being here for a fic that is literally 10 years late.
