I got that good thing for you by canistakahari ~ here have a block quote:

Bucky rotates his head like an owl and pins Steve with a dead stare. “Fake?”

“Artificial,” tries Steve, “You know—”

“No,” says Bucky flatly. “I don’t know.”

“Okay.” Steve puts his hands up, placating. He is not attached to the idea of a fake tree. This isn’t about him, anyway. This is about Bucky. And his… tree. “We’ll get a real one. Promise.”

“Yeah,” says Bucky slowly, like it’s obvious. “You're cutting it down.”

Send the Universe a Thank You Card by stevergrsno ~ 7 winters in the life of Bucky Barnes ft. this GRATE aside:

(‘American Heroes’ had been said in the same tone of voice Steve does those stupid PSAs in. His ‘You’ve got to be shitting me’ voice tha Steve pulls out for shit he doesn’t want to do but has to sound patriotic for and that Bucky has a strange fondness for, even if Peter Parker once went viral with a video of Bucky reacting to one of the videos featuring it.)

Get Jingle With It by mambo ~ fake dating! snowed in! sharing a bed!!!! this is what I desire from my holiday fics.

is this... a santa poem?

At North Farm

Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,
At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents, through
narrow passes.
But will he know where to find you,
Recognize you when he sees you,
Give you the thing he has for you?

Hardly anything grows here,
Yet the granaries are bursting with meal,
The sacks of meal piled to the rafters.
The streams run with sweetness, fattening fish;
Birds darken the sky. Is it enough
That the dish of milk is set out at night,
That we think of him sometimes,
Sometimes and always, with mixed feelings?

John Ashbery (1984)
