Just say yes, just say there’s nothing holding you back. It’s not a test, nor a trick of the mind, only love. Bucky and Steve want to officially spend the rest of their lives together. Below are my Top 5 Favorite stories:
“Proposal Pending” (G, 1k) by so_shhy

And Bucky’s got nothing.

“your day number one in the rest of forever” (T, 4k) by hitlikehammers
“Double digits,” Steve says idly, his smile so present in the words as he pulls back, but only just enough to run the tip of his nose along Bucky’s cheek. “We got excited enough to get into ‘em.”
“Might as well celebrate the last of ‘em with,” and Bucky’s grin is sly as he nips at the hinge of Steve’s jaw: “equal enthusiasm.”

“You don’t have to do this, Steve.” Bucky pushes away the letter from the Russian government demanding that one Dmitri Batischev, alias the Winter Soldier, be surrendered to them to stand trial for his crimes.
Steve hesitates in the doorway. Bucky must’ve heard the tail end of his conversation with Pepper. Now he looks tired, and resigned, and so done and Steve fucking hates that Bucky keeps getting dealt shit hand after shit hand. “I want to.” He hopes Bucky can hear the conviction in his voice. “I’m not losing you again.”
“But getting married? You think that’s gonna work?”
