Summary
“I don’t do that anymore,” Bucky said quietly.
“The barely alive Hydra agents we keep finding might disagree,” Sam replied, and Bucky gave him a sad look.
“That’s different... What I’m doing is justice. I’m doing exactly to them what they did to me. One to one. I’m not a psychopath, Wilson. It doesn’t bring me pleasure. This isn’t a game. It’s balance.”Sam stared at him sadly, unsure what to say.
“But don’t worry... I’ve got one last person left. After that, nothing will matter.”☆☆☆
Six months after the events of the Winter Soldier, Sam is still searching for Bucky. Bucky is hunting for revenge. They make a deal — simple: find Brock Rumlow, then Bucky agrees to one meeting with Steve.
Simple… at least in theory. -

Summary
Bucky Barnes keeps two notebooks. One for amends. One for names that don't need forgiving.
Between therapy sessions and helping Sam with the Shield, he's hunting the monsters that slip through the cracks—the ones the heroes don't see, or won't touch. Twenty-three names so far. Clean kills. Necessary kills. The kind that help him sleep at night.
But when Maya shows up to work with bruises shaped like fingerprints, when he discovers what Karli Morgenthau really is beneath the revolutionary rhetoric, Bucky realizes something: he's not broken. He's exactly what the world needs him to be.
The Winter Soldier is gone. What's left is worse.
Because his conscience has teeth now, and it's hungry.

Summary
“I am no longer the Winter Soldier. I am James Bucky Barnes and you're part of my efforts to make amends”. Except… the amends don’t stick. Corruption and broken systems render justice meaningless, Bucky turns to the skills that once made him a ghost in history books.
James Buchanan Barnes is done playing nice.
With an agenda as cold and precise as the man he used to be, he sets his sights on the political arena - not to serve it, but to seize it.
But no one builds a campaign alone. Enter Helmut Zemo: strategist, manipulator, and conveniently, a rich benefactor. From Handler to Campaign Manager.
It turns out the most dangerous candidate isn't the one with a slogan.
It's the one with a kill list. -

Summary
“Man, I think the mold in my apartment is getting to me” I laugh taking a seat next to the two men who have declared me their only sever. “I feel like I’m being followed all the time”
“you have mold?” Steve's face cringes with a look of disgust and worry.
“yeah, and it's apparently not my landlord's problem,” I say taking a sip from the coffee id gotten prior “I've tried to get rid of it myself, but it appears to be a building problem.” I sigh feeling grossed out at the thought of swimming in mold for the next four years.
“you think you're being followed” The man sitting across from me pipes up, his eyes cold and filled with a level of concern I haven’t seen in a man since I told my parents I was being bullied.
“It's probably the mold making me paranoid” I laugh it off, as much as the thought of someone following me scares me, I don’t want to be seen as someone in need of protection. Especially if I am hallucinating it.

Summary
This is, of course, the worst plan that he has ever had. Soldat would never have permitted it. The Handlers would never have permitted it. The Soldier isn’t even sure if he’s still Omega enough, doesn’t know what they actually did to him when he was HYDRA’s asset - he may not possess all of the prerequisite parts to be a ‘real’ Omega anymore, but he knows that he was one once. It was in the half-file he stole on himself, after all.
It’s also another puzzle piece that suggests that he once could have been The Bucky - after all, The Bucky was the Omega of Steve Rogers. But the time for analyzing that is not now.
He has to acquire the necessary items for his risky plan.
And he has to go through with that plan, consequences be damned.
