Here we are at the end of the line! It has been amazing to see so many of you take your works from an idea to a finished collaboration. Thank you so much to all the creators who made the second year of the Captain America Big Bang a success, and to everyone else who helped along the way.

We’re happy to announce that this year’s Bang includes 78 collaborative works from 80 authors and 65 artists. The masterposts are here on Dreamwidth and please do check out the Ao3 collection!

Additionally, creators had opted to submit their works to be aggregated into a spreadsheet. You can sort it by a variety of criteria to find your favorite content creators and pairings and maybe find some new ones. The spreadsheet is available here.

We’d also like to take this time to announce that due to our increased real life commitments and personal/health matters, the Captain America Big Bang will be on hiatus and will not run for 2020.

Once again, thank you to everyone!

Best wishes,
The Mods

Summary: "Living in Brooklyn for the first time in the new century is hard, especially without Bucky. It becomes even harder when, in the aftermath of a Loki-engineered spectacle, Thor and Mjolnir go missing. It becomes even harder still when a new Thor—not the Odinson, not Loki’s brother, but somehow, not unfamiliar to Steve—arrives on the scene, strong and silent and everything that Steve finds himself drawn to.

Luckily, Steve’s fond of the hard times. And the men who come with it.

Summary:

In the not-so-distant future, androids are integral to everyday life. They cook, they clean, they watch the kids. They cater to their owners’ every whim. Perfection is the CyberLife guarantee: Perfect service performed by the perfect human imitation, without all those pesky human needs like salaries, time off, or basic rights. By the year 2038, there are an estimated 120 million androids active worldwide, with 50 million units sold in the United States alone.

Sergeant James Buchanon Barnes is shocked to discover how thoroughly androids have taken over every facet of modern day life upon his return to domestic soil. Most people can’t tell them apart from humans without their regulatory clothing, but Barnes can. It’s all in their glassy eyes. Cold. Empty. Unfeeling. They creep him the hell out, and he wants nothing to do with them. Until that fateful night when Barnes’ android goes rogue to protect him, and they stumble into a series of events that could change the course of human history.

CyberLife set out to create the perfect human imitation; perhaps they went too far.

Savage God

Rating: M

Relationships: Bucky/Steve, SteveandNatasha

Wordcount: 36,000

Summary: Past, present, future, Steve knows Bucky Barnes. It’s why he recognized him when he found him in that alley in April of 1942, even though Bucky was older, stronger, wearier; he called himself The Asset, and had a metal fucking arm. He flinched when Steve tried to touch him, and when Steve told him he loved him, his first response was to ask why.

The Asset was only with Steve in 1942 for a few days, but it’s enough to change the course of Steve’s life forever; the journey to becoming Captain America is coloured with urgency, with an undercurrent of fear and determination that in the end he just can’t manage to hide from everyone — But it was all for nothing. Steve saves Bucky from Zola, just to lose him on the train. Their second chance, wasted.

Seventy years later, Steve wakes up in the twenty-first century, and he doesn’t know whether to be heartbroken or hopeful when some of the things Bucky revealed to him in 1942 start falling into place.

Summary:
Steve wakes up on the cold stone floor of the foyer. He scrambles up; there’s glass shards everywhere and they crunch under his gloved hands. People are staring, holding themselves back. They must have seen the fight, must have seen two of him.

His own voice rings in his head.

“Bucky is alive!”

It’s all gone FUBAR in 2012.

Summary: Steve Rogers died saving the universe and bringing back the dusted, leaving Bucky behind to mourn and self-destruct. Despite the efforts of the team to help him heal, he enters a downward spiral of hurt and despair that affects everyone around him.

Six months later, when things finally seem to be getting better, a visitor arrives that throws his still-fragile world sideways, and maybe, just possibly, gives him hope that not all is what it seems..

Summary: Steve’s heart breaks when Bucky turns 18 and his Gift emerges: he’s a Voyager, blessed with long life and the irresistible urge to travel the universe. Voyagers, Steve knows, don’t usually come back once they leave. Steve’s happy that Bucky will get to leave Terra IV, their shithole of a planet, to explore his beloved stars. But he isn’t sure what he’ll do once Bucky’s gone and he’s left behind.

Bucky does come back, at the exact moment Steve needs him to, and makes a decision that changes Steve irrevocably and alters the course of both their futures, before disappearing. Steve tries to adjust to his new life as he searches the cosmos for Bucky. When the looming shadow in his prophetic dreams threatens to consume Bucky, he’s terrified that he’s already too late.

Archive Warning: No archive warnings apply

Rating: Mature

Relationship: Bucky/Steve

WC: 53,000

Tags: Recovery, Alternate Universe - No Powers, Alternate Universe - Military, Alternate Universe - College/University, Post-Military College!AU, PTSD, Amputee Bucky Barnes, Negative Thoughts, Internalised ableism, Ableism, Depression, Anxiety, Past Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Mildly Dubious Consent(recollection of Past Bucky/Brock - brief), military torture/violence, Panic Attacks, mild homophobia

Summary:

It’s been two years since Bucky was medically discharged from the Army. It’s been two years and three months since he was taken captive as a POW.

Will Bucky’s PTSD let him live a normal life? If recovery isn’t linear, what about when it feels like a hurricane, when it chews him up and spits him out without a second glance? Bucky feels like he’s getting the hang of this college thing, but what about the man he keeps running into? Why does he feel a connection to him, when he shouldn’t be thinking about dating, not yet, not this soon?

Wherein Bucky learns that some threads never break, and acceptance can be found if you know where to look.
