The Feeling of Being Known by hiyabucky

Summary
The New Avengers have formed, and Valentina is looking for new recruits. When Evelyn Day turns up with unprecedented, untested and not fully disclosed powers, including the ability to control the Void within Bob, she becomes a valuable and powerful member of the team.
And in the chaos, Bucky Barnes finds love in the 21st century. Life seems pretty good - he's in love, he's seen, he's known - but his past will always come back to haunt him eventually.
Slow burn, eventual plot twists, heavy focus on Bucky's recovery, allowing himself to be loved, and trying and sometimes failing to move on from his past.
*Not canon compliant with Avengers: Endgame because I hated Steve's ending and Bucky deserved more time with him post-Endgame*
*Partially inspired by all those 'Bucky as a boyfriend' headcannons littering my TikTok right now and by some Bucky/Thunderbolts memes*
*Was originally written to be post-FATWS but I have been madly working to make it post-Thunderbolts*

Summary
Bucky Barnes, the reformed assassin turned congressman with a major PR problem that just won’t let up. Tabloids bad mouth him. Society fears him. How can he get the American people to believe that he has what it takes for a seat at the office? Desperate for a breakthrough, Bucky needs a way to win over the nation’s trust.
Then his press secretary suggests a bold solution. Marriage to you, the poised, beloved daughter of a decorated war hero. America’s sweetheart. The embodiment of everything he’s not.
It’s all for show. For Bucky, it means a shot at redemption. For you, it’s a chance to elevate your late father’s legacy and secure support for your foundation. Strictly business, and no space for love.Everything is going well. But behind closed doors and the flashing cameras, you two can't stand each other, and it's taking everything in you two to not rip each other's throats out.
(Set during Thunderbolts*)

Summary
“Look, I’m… I’m not really in the business of exploding little innocent laboratory experiment guinea pigs,” she said, patting Bob on the shoulder. The rodent in her hand squeaked indignantly. “So why don’t you leave here with me, and maybe we find you some clothes, and, like, a clif bar or something, because you still look sort of woozy. And then you can think about killing yourself in a way where I’m not the one pressing a button. Okay?”
She smiled at him in an attempt at comfort, straightening her posture to give herself some authority, or at least an air of confidence. He looked at her, and then the bomb, and then the guinea pig, and then behind him to the shadows on the wall. And then back to her.
“Okay,” he echoed, and she was pretty sure he had a bit less doom-and-gloom nothing-matters dejection in his expression now, so maybe she said something kind of right. Maybe.
“Great. How do you feel about wearing dead people shoes? The options here are slim.”
---
Or, Yelena gets sent to destroy O.X.E. Group evidence in a lab in Malaysia and finds... Bob. Bob, who was for sure a human experiment. Bob, who was definitely supposed to be dead. Bob, who absolutely knows more than he's letting on.

Summary
“You never knew my face,” he says.
“I did,” Bucky insists. “You fought the battle maskless. You were at the funeral. I remember that– why don’t I remember your face?”
“... it’s better that you don’t,” he says cryptically.
Bucky can't help but feel like he's forgotten something important, and he doesn't figure it out until Sam asks him to recruit Spider-Man to the Avengers. He knows he used to know the young vigilante's face, and the bitter hero before him isn't the same Spider-Man he met in the airport. Despite Spider-Man's insistence, Bucky knows that no one should go through a life like theirs alone, and he's determined to give him a fresh start.
And just maybe find a new beginning for the Avengers as a whole in the process.

Summary
Yelena turned out the light, and in the darkness Bob said, “You can still use me to warm your toes.”
"You sure?" she asked, sounding a little skeptical.
“Yes. For all I know it’s an integral part to either of us sleeping. Like a sensory thing.”
"That's a good point. We shouldn't disrupt the routine." Her toes wedged themselves between his calves. There was in fact something grounding about the difference in temperature, reminding him where he was even though it was black in the room.
Maybe it was bad that this woman had become a touchstone of safety for him. But also he had so little, it was foolish not to take what was given.
They were facing each other on their sides. “Just so you know, nothing you needed from me would ever be a burden.”
"Same to you. Just so you know.”

Summary
The Doctor sauntered past her to the bar. "Dissension in the ranks, Valentina. You're losing your touch. I don't suppose six of you would be interested in a counter offer?”
“What kind of offer?” Bucky asked.
"I would argue you all work better as independent contractors rather than OXE employees. I would serve as a… manager. We negotiate contracts directly with the CIA and US government." She poured herself a drink, capping the decanter with a clink. "No taking orders from Valentina. No threats. And a doctor who knows how to treat your… unique physiologies.”
“I didn’t realize The Doctor was an actual doctor,” Yelena said.
Bucky turned and looked at her. “You know who this is?”
Her brows lifted. "People have been whispering about her in the underworld for years. You need to get something done—something big—you find The Doctor and she gets it done. Stock markets, companies, whole governments have fallen at her order. Half the stories about her sound fake and most people think she's a myth."
"I like the one about my knitting needles being poisoned," The Doctor commented, sipping her drink.

Summary
MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR THUNDERBOLTS* IN THIS FAN FICTION!!!
For James Buchanan Barnes, somehow trouble always finds a way to stick around.
In the aftermath of their latest disaster, Bucky finds himself dealing with more than just bruises and broken bones. Between leading the Thunderbolts, trying not to punch John Walker, and avoiding awkward eye contact with Sam Wilson, he’s starting to wonder if fighting supervillains might actually be the easy part.
But when two of their own go missing, and rumors of a new threat start circling, Bucky and Sam are forced to put their differences aside and figure out how to work together—again.
Bucky doesn’t know if he can still call Sam his friend. Sam doesn’t know if he can trust Bucky as a leader. But neither of them is prepared for the dark force hunting both of them down- one that threatens not just their fragile alliance but the lives of everyone caught in the crossfire.
Sam Wilson x Thunderbolts* Teamup Sambucky Story :)

Summary
okay, maybe you and Bob had been going at it like rabbits in heat lately, and just maybe he didn't wear a condom either- both agreeing, still on birth control, you don't expect the random, weird and very similar pregnancy symptoms occurring, nor the positive pregnancy test lying on your bathroom counter.

Summary
Dr. Cho starts talking about next steps, getting more tests and contacting physicists or maybe sorcerers, but Bob isn’t paying attention anymore. He thinks about how kind the team has been since he woke up here. His team is kind, sure, but this version of the new avengers is far more comfortable showing their feelings than his version. And then there’s the whole 'little' situation, which Bob is at least grateful that he wasn’t losing his mind about. But it makes him think—there’s a Bob out there that was comfortable being taken care of like a kid by the Avengers for a week. How different was he from that Bob?
Pretty damn different it seemed.
---
Bob travels to a universe where everyone thinks he’s something they call a ‘little'.
This is complicated for a number of reasons.

Summary
You were one of the original Avengers. After losing people you loved on the team, you retired and retreated back to your home town in Puerto Rico. Life has been treating you fairly well for the past four years, since the return of everyone from the blip. And just as you're finally gaining your bearings, getting used to an easy life, you're offered an opportunity that leaves you questioning the peace you've earned.
You could stay on the island, spending your days relaxing on beaches, or you could fly back to New York and join the new, and slightly misguided avengers.
But what happens when the man that Steve had spent, or in your words, wasted years looking for is apart of that team? The man who split your family up, sending half to live under the radar and the other half yearning for what could've been? You know it's not his fault, but you can't help but blame him.
James Buchanan Barnes.
