Summary
Steve remembers everything. Bucky, almost nothing.
But even if the world has forgotten him, even if he himself has gotten lost, Steve keeps drawing his hands, his laughter, his ruins. Because even broken, even absent, James is still his home. And Steve has no intention of letting go. Not after everything it took to find him.
Because if James crawls, Steve crawls with him.
If James breaks, Steve gathers every piece and holds them until they fit again.
And if they never fit again, he’ll stay anyway.

Summary
The Soldier stutters forward, placing its metal hand upon the bedsheets. "Permission to speak," it croaks.
"Granted." The handler holds its gaze.
"What...what is my mission?"
The handler considers for a moment, then: "Effective immediately, your mission is to obtain optimal levels of hydration, caloric intake, and sleep for at least seven continuous days. Understood?"
The Soldier nods. This is a test of its self-sufficiency. Its new owners want to know what it functions like at peak performance. Furthermore, the Soldier suspects that its owners want it to acclimate to these luxuries.
So they can take them all away again.

After the fall of SHIELD, the Avengers bring a shivering, starving Winter Soldier to the Tower. This is the story of the recovery of Bucky Barnes.Series

Summary
After a devastating mission gone wrong, Navy SEAL James "Bucky" Barnes returns to civilian life a broken man. His elite team-his brothers-were lost in a fiery explosion that also claimed his left arm. Now, tucked away in the snow-covered mountain town of Pineford, James spends his days trying to find purpose and avoiding the memories that haunt him.
Natalia Romanova was born to dance-but not to belong. Raised by the strict owner of a prestigious ballet academy who adopted her for her talent, Natalia's entire life has been pirouettes, pressure, and perfection. When she fails to land a coveted spot in a major ballet company, she's punished with a last-minute assignment: perform as Clara in The Nutcracker... in the middle of nowhere.
Thrown together in a town that feels frozen in time, James and Natalia couldn't be more different. He's grounded by loss. She's desperate to fly. But as falling snow blankets the quiet streets of Pineford, a hesitant friendship begins to warm into something deeper-something that could melt even the coldest fears.
Together, they might just find that healing isn't about forgetting the past, but learning to dance with it.

Summary
John MacTavish hasn't seen Simon Riley since the day Simon rushed him to a London trauma center... and then walked away. The absence made John's road to recovery all the more agonizing, but luckily, the rest of the 141 along with other friends and family filled the hole left by a ghost.
Now, three and a half years later, John finally has his life together. He works for the MOD (and the CIA... ahem) as a civilian demolitions consultant. He's got a house, a (mostly) clear head, and most importantly, a date with someone new to his best mate's wedding.
John's ecstatic to be standing up as Kyle's best man. Unfortunately, it also means standing in the same room as a certain Lieutenant. It's okay, though. For Kyle's sake, John can keep all the anger and hurt festering inside of him in check. All he has to do is avoid Simon for the next few hours, and they'll go their separate ways.
Too bad Simon has other plans that, unbeknownst to either of them, will change their lives forever.
For better or for worse.

Summary
There was only so much you could do to a dead man, you see, before he became more of a liability than an advantage. In theory, the idea of not killing Ghost— of keeping him alive, taking him back to the base and torturing all the information they could get out of him was a good one. However, in practice, the issue became more complicated.
Or— Ghost is sent home to recover after being victim to cartel torture, and then Soap shows up.
