Summary
In late 2026, Bucky Barnes is a reluctant pawn in Thaddeus Ross’s political game, running for Congress under a leash tied to his pardon. When a sham memorial for Steve Rogers ignites Bucky’s defiance, he vows to honor his friend’s legacy. Teaming up with Sam Wilson and Clint Barton, Bucky uncovers whispers of Ross’s deeper schemes: a web of power, shady backers, and dangerous experiments tied to old ghosts. As surveillance closes in, Bucky must navigate betrayal and buried secrets to fight for Steve’s truth—no matter the cost.
A political thriller of loyalty, corruption, and the shadows of heroes past.

Summary
Bucky Barnes has a lot to contend with in the 21st century. One difficult task after another is laid out in front of him: managing his new found freedom, attending therapy and working through his trauma. It's a struggle, but recovery is not a straight line, as his therapist so often likes to remind him.
He has to navigate this friendship / relationship / whatever it is with Sam all the while managing his guilt and shame for his years as the Winter Soldier, and his grief over Steve's death. Then of course there’s these new super soldiers that have appeared out of nowhere that have to be dealt with, along with the frustrating inclusion of new faces, like Walker, and the familiar, like Zemo.
And then there is another task, one that sometimes seems to be the most difficult task of all: learning to be kind to his past self.
Rewrite / fix it of TFATWS – you do not need to read the other parts of this series, this works as a standalone. Pre TFATWS to about three months after the series ends. Not just a rehash of the TV series, I like to bounce off canon and do my own thing. I generally update fortnightly.

Summary
Bucky and Steve are not soulmates. Steve's touched Bucky's soulmark to no effect, and Steve doesn't even have a mark. But they are best friends through thick and thin, childhood, battlefield, brainwashing and time travel. As they traverse through the events of the MCU, they change so much that it begs the question: are they even the same people they used to be? Are their souls more compatible after Thanos than as children? And does it even matter that they aren't soulmates, when their bond transcends every other relationship they've ever had?
AKA The many times Steve and Bucky touch each other's soulmarks and nothing happens, and the one time everything changes.

Summary
James Barnes has received his official pardon, and along with it, a mandatory community service assignment at a Brooklyn community garden. Anxious in social situations and all-around grumpy, he’s not exactly looking forward to the afternoons of sun and small talk. What he isn’t counting on is, well, you.
You’re Sunny. You’re sunshine. And you understand; the past that haunts you that you bury deep with soil-stained gloves and summer flowers. He’s trying to find peace. He just doesn’t understand why you won’t let yourself find it, too.
or, Ash writes her second ever 2nd-person fic for the only male fictional character you’ll ever catch me giggling over. this is part character study (?) and part canon-typical mystery and intrigue!!

Summary
The Winter Soldier is captured instead of disappearing from the riverbank. How will Steve reach his friend, without knowing what Hydra did to him, or what is left of Bucky Barnes? Will the Avengers be able to keep him safely under control while the revelations of Insight and more try to tear everything apart?
All Steve knows is: he left Bucky behind once. He won't do it again, no matter what.
Complies with canon until the end of Cap 2, then diverts into my own version of how events could have played out

Summary
It started with a comment, a friendly suggestion really. Sam didnt mean anything negative by it, quite the opposite. He had said it in the voice he reserves for when Bucky’s having a hard time, for when he can’t tell left from right, whispers from screams. He didn’t mean anything by it, but here Bucky was, leg violently bouncing under him.
OR
A normal everyday activity sends Bucky deep into flashbacks and confusing memories, comfort ensues.
I suck at summarizing :/

Sam helped him to feel again. To want again. To feel what it meant to truly live for himself, for the first time in so long.
Sam helped him feel human again.

Summary
A fic exploring Bucky's healing after the hints we get in TFATWS
---
Bucky kept a record of everything Sam Wilson had done for him.
Just a simple list, with “Pay Back to Sam” scribbled at the top of it. It started with 1 or 2 things that Sam did that Bucky felt guilty for. Bringing him some extra food, helping him find an apartment despite his record… He would write them down and cross it off when he felt like he did something of similar value to him. It started with 1 or 2 things. Now, he was on his 3rd notebook.

“It’s okay,” Sam murmurs, “Just some kids.”
Bucky nods.
“Yo… is that…?” a gravelly voice travels from the group, “Holy shit!” another voice, higher pitched. They all seem to recognize Bucky and Sam.
“Shit.” Bucky groans.

Summary
The Raptor and the Winter Soldier, both sufferers of HYDRA's lust for greatness.
HYDRA's victims seldom find peace, even once their freedom is found. So, as the paths of these two extraordinary men converge, can they find that long forgotten feeling in each other?(This story ranges from the events of 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' to the events of 'The Falcon and The Winter Solder' and hopefully beyond. It follows relatively the same events as the MCU with the addition of my OC, some headcanons, and details from the comics. More tags will be added as story progresses.)

Summary
“Over the table.”
The command was harsh, barked. His limbs were already trembling from exhaustion, pushed to his limit by the mission, but he knew better than to disobey.
All of his weapons and gear had already been removed, the gore washed away, and shackles had been locked around his wrists and ankles, chains between just long enough to let him walk but little more. The undershirt and thin compression leggings he wore under his uniform weren’t enough to protect him from the chill in the room. Even his handler still wore a coat.
