Summary
Bucky is a monster, he is the child of a devil who grew up in a God-fearing orphanage, but Steve doesn’t seem to mind him, so he keeps his head down and loves Steve and tries not to care about the fact he’s going to hell. But then comes the war, and Zola, and all of his carefully hoarded secrets break loose and Steve will surely never love him the same way again.
Then he falls, and winter comes.
And then, much later, he remembers.

Summary
Bucky Barnes lives a totally normal life, despite having a metal arm. He gets up, he goes to work at the hospital, he comes home, he goes to therapy for his PTSD, he tries to forget the war and the Battle of New York. All-in-all, pretty ordinary.
That is, until he finds Captain America with a bullet hole in his side slumped against a shelf in a supply closet.
It turns out that Steve Rogers is a wanted fugitive after the events of Civil War, and Bucky offers his Brooklyn apartment as a place to lay low. Their lives are quiet for a time, until another attack brings Captain America (and the other Avengers) out of hiding and they decide to take down Hydra, who have infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and the US government.

Summary
Bucky had heard of Hydra. Everyone had heard of Hydra: they were the unicorn hunters down near the border. The last thing Bucky wanted to do was get mixed up with hunters, but he was out of options. Hydra hunted unicorns, hunters needed virgins, and that was about the only thing Bucky had left to sell. If that’s what it took to get his mom and sister out of their dying town he'd do it.
Indentured to Hydra, deep in the wilds of the hunting preserve, far from the life he’d known and responsible for luring unicorns to their deaths, Bucky had never been more alone.
Until he met the Warden.
Wardens enforced the hunting laws, had done ever since the country had nearly torn itself apart over the discovery that unicorns--beloved creatures, conduits to the gods above--could be turned into powerful magical devices. Under Steve’s eagle eye Hydra didn’t get away with anything and he was a constant presence, watching over the hunts. But Steve didn’t treat Bucky like a hunter. Steve genuinely seemed to care about him. Steve was always there when Bucky needed him and suddenly Bucky wasn’t so alone.

Summary
All actions in war take place in an atmosphere of uncertainty, or the "fog of war." Uncertainty pervades battle in the form of unknowns about the enemy, about the environment, and even about the friendly situation. While we try to reduce these unknowns by gathering information, we must realize that we cannot eliminate them—or even come close. The very nature of war makes certainty impossible; all actions in war will be based on incomplete, inaccurate, or even contradictory information.
Having said this, we realize that it is precisely those actions that seem improbable that often have the greatest impact on the outcome of war.(Warfighting, Marine Corps Doctrinal Publication 1)
