Summary
"No. Steve wasn’t a handler. And Steve was softer, protective. He was safety, and maybe, it was about time Bucky threw down his anchor."
Post CA:CW - What if Bucky wasn't put into cryofreeze? And the MCU dealt with the fallout of two supersoldiers from the 40s just trying to survive?

Summary
She can slip through time in the space between heartbeats.
He is a man whose time was stolen from him.In the aftermath of SHIELD’s collapse, Clara Grayson — a woman bound to the fractured flow of time and the shadows of her own past — is drawn into the war Steve Rogers cannot fight alone. And into the orbit of a soldier who barely remembers how to live.
Haunted by violence, hunted by the past, Bucky Barnes does not trust the shape of this new world — or the pull of her presence within it.
But in the slow hours between battle and breath, when the world falls quiet, even the most wounded hearts may begin to remember how to feel.

Summary
In which the Winter Soldier reassesses his loyalties and Clint Barton wrestles with his own sickening guilt. And because the universe has the worst sense of humor ever, they cross paths in the process.
(or, because this is the worst summary ever- i attempt to rewrite a fic i wrote back in 2020 and largely fail at it. timeline mushes post-Avengers and CA:TWS canon together with kinda incomprehensible results.)

Summary
The Soldier knew protocol. A failed mission meant punishment, then the Chair, then cryo. He had to go collect punishment, to ensure proper function on the next mission. It would be a risk, going back to the Vault. Insight had been compromised, communication was down. The Soldier did not know if the Vault was safe. The head hurt. He had been out of cryo too long. The words of the Captain on the helicarrier had damaged the neurological function. He would need the Chair to return to working condition. The Chair was in the Vault.
****
In which the Winter Soldier grapples with his newly found freedom, Steve Rogers tries to deal, and Sam Wilson wonders if maybe he should have skipped that morning run

Summary
He had done this before. He had followed their orders, obeyed without question, and became everything they wanted him to be. Their perfect weapon.
But he had left, he escaped, and he remembered who he was. He started healing, slowly, and painfully. He had friends. He fell in love. He had a life, fragile, haunted by the blood on his hands, and the echoes of their cruelty and violence. But it was still his.
And then they took it all away. Again. They shattered everything he had fought to rebuild. He never thought he would go back, not ever, and certainly not like this. Not when they were using the person he loved to do it.
He had done this before. And now, he will have to do it all over again.

Summary

or:
What would happen if Bucky found someone who needed therapy nearly as much as he does?

Summary
The Winter Soldier, a traumatized Sergeant Bucky Barnes, a broken hearted Captain America and a cute female nurse are the main characters of this fluff orientated story!
Bucky suffers from PTSD and has severe split personality disorder.
He has to learn to deal with a de-aging Winter Soldier camping in the backroom of his brain.
This story alternates POVs, it's mainly Bucky, a lot of the Winter Soldier, but also Female Reader and Steve.
At some point we will cross paths with an adorable Bruce Banner and way later, with an orphan Peter Parker.
I've tried and kept intimacy/smut scenes to realistic and light, as they are not the center of the story.
This story is not canon, but I feel like it would fit after the Winter Soldier, Steve would have found Bucky and they'd live together at the tower.The WInter Soldier dialogs are in bold, inner dialogs in italics and bold, inner dialogs of Bucky in italics.
