    Summary

    "The asset was for something. He had a purpose. He had missions and orders." Bucky released a laugh, bitter and hollow. "At least then I knew what I was supposed to be doing. Now I just—I wake up and I don't know why. What's the point of any of this if I'm just going to be empty forever?"

    "You won't be."

    "You don't know that."

    "I do know that," Steve said firmly. "You've already made progress, Buck. You've already taken pieces of yourself back and started building something. You have been since before I found you. Think of the words and the notebook—those are yours, you did that."

     

    OR

    Bucky learns to rebuild himself by journaling carefully chosen words he resonates with. He documents his journey from emptiness and guilt to finding love and peace, all while being supported endlessly by Steve.

    Summary

    Sanctuary sprawls over the landscape like some sort of spiky, cancerous growth, or a tentacled creature made of metal and bone, and the land is a ruin all around it even beyond the massive perimeter of structures fused with the rock beneath. It hurts Steve and Bucky just to be here long enough to unmake the Stones after Thanos's defeat; the place would probably kill an ordinary human outright. The last thing they expect to find is a living prisoner.

    Summary

    Some stories end with a fall. This one begins with two. The soldier with the star-spangled shield became a weapon for the other side; decades later, the false prince fell from the sky and became their experiment. The soldier and the prince were never supposed to meet.

    Or, the AU where Steve is the Winter Soldier and Loki’s a HYDRA guinea pig, and things are generally awful. Series title is from "Winter Bones" by Stars, which is particularly relevant for the end of the second fic and after.
