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
If Bucky had known that he was going to end up in some cheesy 80's crossover between Sam's time in the Falcon program and the movie Top Gun, he would've asked Sam some questions beforehand, like:
Were you into guys or did young Sam really just flirt with everyone like that? Nobody, like, died horribly during the training part of this program, did they? Because these seem very unstable. And was it normal for the "Take My Breath Away" guitar riff to play every time we made eye contact?
He hadn't known, though, that Scarlet Witch from SHEIN would look into their heads and pull this horrible storyline out, so he just had to keep his head above the water long enough to get out of there.

Summary
Relapse comes slowly: the dull ache of hunger preferable to the pain of eating with broken ribs, long days spent driving through back roads without anywhere to stop, he'll eat when they pull over, when they get back to the hotel, when he wakes up, when they find Bucky, when he can go home.
Based off the prompt: 5am. No food in the fridge, but a paper bag with a message scrawled on it in handwriting they don't recognize.

Summary
—
It’s been there, and he just didn’t have the courage to name it until now—when it’s already too woven into him to untangle. When Sam’s already so firmly rooted in his bones that the thought of ever unlearning this ache is absurd.
( or, a mission gone sideways drags Sam and Bucky beneath the surface. Thrown backward into the recesses of their minds, they drift through a sea that won’t let them wake. The deeper they sink, the harder it is to tell what’s real: and what has long since drowned. )

Summary
Sam met the blue eyes in front of him. The last time he’d seen them, they were cold, empty, and calculated, practically staring through him as he ripped the wings from his suit.
In that moment, in the rundown warehouse, they were directly on him. In their proximity, Sam realized that Barnes looked terrified. His eyes were wide, frantically searching his face. He wasn’t fighting back, even though they both knew he could.
“I don’t want to hurt anyone,” Barnes rasped, voice tight from the pressure on his throat. His hands gripped Sam’s forearm, yet didn’t pry it off of him.
-
Or, Sam does find Barnes. Multiple times. Somehow, they learn to trust each other.

Summary
For a brief instant, Sam had thought that Bucky would be okay. That he would be fine, that this would be nothing. Bucky fell all the time: he had always hurled himself from planes like a madman during the missions they used to run together. He would be fine, right?
And then Bucky had hit the ground, and all Sam could do was watch.
When Bucky is badly injured on a mission with the so-called New Avengers, despite everything, Sam shows up.

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
“You’re gonna have to come in eventually,” says Sam, then he takes a deep breath and steps away from Barnes, back towards the club. “But it doesn’t have to be now.” Barnes’ eyes widen, and he goes utterly still. “I’ve got some conditions though, if I’m gonna let you go.”
A year after the helicarriers go down, Sam finds not the Winter Soldier, but Bucky Barnes, who's trying his best to live and not just survive while on the run. Sam finds him and keeps finding him, and eventually, Sam finds himself too.
An alternate take on canon where Sam and Bucky have been secretly meeting up since after CATWS.

Summary
Sam knew what to expect from the life of a tea monk: making and accepting tea, letting said tea soothe the ache of the conversation people brought to him, mending clothes and children's toys, maybe a couple of kettles and the like. He'd had a good idea, and then he'd met Bucky.

Summary
And that's just how it is for a long time. Sam staring at the Winter Soldier while he drinks Sam's drink and Sam debates whether the man poisoned his burger.
When the straw makes an awful scraping sound at the bottom of the cup, Barnes puts the cup down and stares some more. "You don't..." a squeak erupts and he clears his throat before continuing, "you don't have to be scared of me. I'm not going to hurt you."
Sam snorts. "My broken wing and the shoe print on my chest say otherwise."
Or Sam Wilson's tour around Europe is more eventful than it should be.
5 + 1 Acts of love.

Summary
Bucky's voice sounded so vulnerable that Sam wanted to reach for him. He didn’t. He most certainly didn’t. What was happening right now? Bucky was… Bucky. This…well…it couldn’t happen. Sam couldn’t let it happen. “Is it weird that I kinda like it?”
Sam swallowed hard. Fucking hell. He hadn’t had enough alcohol to deal with whatever he was feeling at this exact moment of his life. Bucky. Standing there. In a new light. Maybe in the way Sam had secretly been afraid he’d seen him all along.
OR: Sam and Bucky are meant to be together. Now if they'd only stop dating other people long enough to realize it...

Summary
A photo of Barnes had been sent to him last night of him here, in Norway, after he’d trekked through basically all of Sweden on a similar trail. The blizzard had slowed his travel considerably – as well as the mountainous terrain and a GPS that kept giving him unusable roads – and hell, Barnes was almost definitely in the wind again now.
When his phone rings in his pocket, he doesn’t have to look to know who’s calling. “Hey, Steve,” he says, trying to keep the exhaustion and frustration out of his voice.
“Hi, Sam,” Steve says, “Are you driving still?”
“No,” Sam breathes, scrubbing his face with his free hand. “Finally found a motel. Gonna hit the hay, I guess.”
He can hear Steve’s frown over the phone, “You’ve been sleeping, right? You sound tired.”
No, Steve, I haven’t slept in 36 hours because I’ve had to haul ass for the last twenty to have even a slim fucking chance at finding your best friend, is what he doesn’t say. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

Summary
A couple months after the Flag Smashers mission, Bucky's now answering Sam's calls and texts (fostering relationships, Doc!). One call, in particular, finds Bucky returning to Delacroix for what's possibly his most daunting mission yet: helping Sam fix up a run-down, piece-of-shit foreclosure he recently purchased. Bucky doesn't know the first thing about home repairs or confronting his feelings but he does know how to move heavy things, so...that's something.
COMPLETE.

Summary
“Sorry Steve, they found his body a week ago.”...
The phone call had shattered his world and left his heart in ashes, forever robbed him of the chance to make sense of the longing that had been eating away at him for years.
A year on, Steve Rogers now worked as an emergency physician in a busy trauma center, burying himself with extra shifts so he didn’t have to face the grief of losing his childhood friend.
A string of unusual hospital presentations, an experimental drug leaked to the streets, a spate of violent crimes…with the common threads all pointing to Hydra Biotech, a pharmaceutical company that also happened to be Bucky’s former employer.
Dead men tell no tales…but what was the story behind the index case — a homeless amputee who seemed to know far more than he was letting on?

Summary
The anniversary of Riley’s death is not something Sam pays attention to. He knows it’s approaching when nightmares become more frequent, or when his energy and temper dwindle. It’s a vicious cycle he will never break free from.
Sam deals with his grief and trauma surrounding Riley's death. Bucky helps.
