Angsty/Whump Captain America fics

[binyah.livejournal.com]

So, Captain America 2 made me actually like Steve Rogers! I have been reading a lot of Steve/Bucky fic but now want to branch out into Steve-centric fic. What I am looking for:

-Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Woobie, Just whump in general
-Anything focusing on how difficult Steve's past was (I have read a couple of good ones discussing how starved Steve felt/feels)
-Fics discussing Steve being awake and aware when he was frozen
-Fics discussing how the serum negatively effects Steve (always hungry, heals to fast, etc)
-I would prefer gen but pairings are okay as long as they are not the focus.
-If pairings, a focus on the fact that Steve grew up in a time where being homosexual was dangerous
-Happy endings (or at least ambiguous)
-NO CHARACTER DEATH OF STEVE

Any of the above would be awesome or any other stories you can recommend.

Oubliette (http://archiveofourown.org/works/560984) by Kiyaar is Steve awake in the ice.

That is the one I read that inspired me wanting to read more. But I certainly don't mind reading it again!

Tony POV. The horrible problems of major surgery on a super soldier who cannot be sedated.

A really good Steve centric fic is Captain Fraudulent by Ellidfics (http://archiveofourown.org/works/572602) A section of it talks about his life pre serum and being small and a starving artist. There is also a section called Captain Fraudulent The Outtakes which is really good.

NiennaNir (http://archiveofourown.org/users/NiennaNir/pseuds/NiennaNir) has a really good Avengers Series and two of hers are really good Steve centric:

Kodachrome (http://archiveofourown.org/works/911276) A storage container with Steve's name on it turns up in the bowels of SHIELD and its contents reveal startling truths about the past as well as the future he's living now.

Shock Factor (http://archiveofourown.org/works/957550) Super soldiers have amazing metabolism which is great for healing super fast. It's not so great if the super soldier needs anesthesia

Well, this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it's pretty damn close. And if you want a badly hurt Steve, this will suit you to a T. It's called The Goat's Back by Arsenaic (http://archiveofourown.org/works/578393). It's the first in a series and it's inspired a couple of fantastic spin offs. But it's AU, for a given value of AU. Everyone's still super powered, they're still the Avengers, just the world building is different. No pairing, no character death, and there is a happy ending, but please mind the warnings.

Come to think of it, this also deals a lot with how the serum negatively effects Steve. I think you'll like it!

Enjoy!

"burning out my sins until there's nothing but dust" by brandywine421, link:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/800409?view_full_work=true

is Steve/Tony, but focus isn't on their relationship. I loved it so much partly because part of it is about Steve's time into the ice, I'm not going to be more specific to not spoiling the story. I think it's a great story, for Steve lovers.

Most of Winterstar's stories are hurt!Steve or angst!Steve themed.
