Steve / Bucky + Tentacled Eldritch BFF

[the-sneaky-one.livejournal.com]

After Bucky joins up with the Avengers, they're clearing out a Hydra base together, and they stumble across a room where they find a Lovecraftian monster (whose name, I think, was Charlie). Turns out it and Bucky knew each other, after the Winter Soldier was sent into the monster's domain, but it ended up 'fixing' Bucky as best it could, patching up his mind and giving him his arm. Charlie(?) goes back home with them and it ends up haunting the Avengers Tower, where it eats potential invaders, accidentally infects Bucky and gives him his own tentacles, and scares Pepper by manifesting as a living cuttlefish statue. Oh, and it occasionally badgers Steve and Bucky on having spawn, since they 'practice' so much.

I know I found it on AO3. I've been searching, but just can NOT find it again. Could've sworn I had it bookmarked, too, as it's such a fun read that it became one I like to go back every now and then because it makes me smile.
