Summary
Ex-agent Bucky Barnes loves his life as a singer-songwriter, and has just returned from a six month tour supporting his latest album. So when Phil Coulson shows up asking him to provide cover for an operative to get into the music festival hosted by an eco-terrorist about to unleash a mutagen on the world, he’s less than pleased. Even less pleased when he finds out the operative is a blond Adonis who just stole his grail comic book out from under his nose. And he’s supposed to be fake dating the guy to give him cover to get close to the mark.
And just because he’s completely infatuated with this Steve guy is no reason for being unprofessional. Right?
Written for FinnFreak7 for Fandom Trumps Hate 2019, in support of The Trevor Project.

Summary
"You don't have to worry about not having good health insurance," Bucky says. "I'll pay. Whatever your treatments cost, I'll pay it." He'd pay anything to save Steve.
"I can't let you do that," Steve says. "I can't let you drain your savings when we both know I'm going to die eventually anyway."
"Don't say that," Bucky says. This is a problem. He can solve problems. He solves problems at work all day. That's what he does.
And then it comes to him. The wonderful, horrible solution to this catastrophe.
"Let's get married," Bucky blurts out.
When Steve's heart starts failing, Bucky's gold standard Stark Industries health insurance gets Steve the treatment he needs. But Bucky finds that when you're secretly in love with your (maybe dying) best friend, things get a lot complicated, fast.

Summary
Bucky's mom refuses to believe that he has nobody to bring to their annual Christmas family vacation. She also refuses to believe that he's gay, which in turn leads Bucky to tell her some maybe untruthful things.
Shenanigans ensue.
(UPDATE AS OF 1/29/19: This was previously rated Mature, but after some consideration I thought it might actually be more suited for the Explicit category. Nothing in the story has actually changed!)

Summary
”I told you not to lie to your family about having a boyfriend who doesn’t exist,” Nat says, watching him carefully and Steve sighs.
“I know, I know. It was a shitty idea, and once again it’s biting me on the ass. But it’s fine, I’ll handle it,” he says, with a confidence he doesn’t really feel.
Basically; the fake-dating AU that the lovely BritBrit99 asked for as her MTH win and I was only too happy to try and write.

Summary
“So, lemme get this straight,” Bucky says, laced with a chuckle. He flattens his mouth into a tight line, obviously resisting the urge to fall into another fit. “So, your friends think you’re bringing a date with you to DC, they think the date is me, and you wanna get out of this without getting caught in a lie or giving an explanation that might make it worse.”
Steve sighs, nodding. “Yeah,” he says. “That’s the gist of it.”
“Well, you’ve already dug yourself this deep,” Bucky says, suddenly sober. “Why don’t you just tell them I’m coming?”

** VERY IMPORTANT ** odetteandodile did some amazing artwork for this, but AO3 says she can't be a co-creator, but be VERY assured that she is, and is awesome
In 1930s Hollywood, the world is run on the studio system. Stars are told who to date, what to wear, what to say, and how to look pretty doing it. The only way you can really do what you want is if you don't get caught.
Steve's dating Peggy, which works out because she's married to Sam, even though it's not legal. But it's the perfect cover for the fact that Steve's gay. He's managing just find skirting the system to find companionship, but then he meets James Barnes and life gets a lot more complicated.
