FIC 2 THOUGHT STEVE WAS A BETA
This story is my foray into the world of A/B/O. Everyone thinks that Steve is a beta, but after the Winter Soldier debacle it quickly becomes evident that not only is he not a beta, he is mated. Mating in this world involves a soul bond type of situation, and I will try to stay away from some of the common dub-con issues that can pop up with this type of fic.
This fic is Stucky, told in alternating pov, set immediately post Winter Soldier and once again ignores Civil War.
So far it is ~6000 words with a fair amount to go as well (this one may end up being more of a series - I could see a lot of tangents in this world).
Excerpt:
"I think – I think whatever they did to him, however they… programmed him, it’s fucking with the bond. I don’t know how to explain. It is like a dull, throbbing ache, like – “
“Like the gap from a missing tooth you can’t stop probing. Or a bruise you keep pressing. If you leave it alone it recedes to a dull pain but if you don’t it is sharp, demanding. And yet you can’t stop.” Natasha finishes. Steve meets her gaze with shock and she watches as his eyes move to Clint with new understanding.
God the week Loki had Clint was the worst of my entire life. I could barely function through the pain. Steve has been living like this for YEARS. And if Steve and Barnes’s bond was enhanced by the serum as well then… “How are you still sane?” Natasha asks, hearing the horror in her own voice.
“Sometimes I am not sure I am.” He answers, frighteningly honest.
UPDATE
The first chapter is posted!!
