Summary
“So… shawarma?” Yelena asks after everything’s cooled down and the cameras are all gone.
“Really?” Walker sneers, “Are you serious right now, cause— cause that’s not funny—“
“I mean, it’s a little funny.” Yelena chuckles, which obviously means Alexei has to follow with loud boisterous laughter, even if he clearly doesn’t know what’s going on.

Summary
“You know it ain’t the Great Depression anymore, right?” Sam calls over his shoulder, eyes lingering distastefully on the pot that’s bubbling on Bucky’s apartment stove, his face scrunched up against the sight of it. “You don’t have to cook like this.”
Bucky is a lot of things. A chef is decidedly not one of them.
or a study of Bucky's relationship with cooking and also his inability to have Stuff.

Summary
Yelena hadn’t recognized him. She hadn’t comprehended the possibility that this mangled body before her, full of fear and youth, could be the tired man walking up behind her now. It was hard to imagine Barnes ever being so naive and young, so inexperienced and scared, but here he was. No imagination necessary.

When the Thunderbolts punch through Bob’s shame rooms in an attempt to escape the Void, some of Bucky’s memories make it through.
A take on Bucky’s shame rooms, through Yelena’s eyes.

They ran in the same circles—barely. Mission overlaps. Declassified handoffs. Briefings where no one made eye contact. They orbited each other like two dying stars, just close enough to burn, too far to collide. And that felt dangerous.

Summary
Bucky's first thought when Ava gets impatient and blows the door early is: "Steve made this look easy."
The second thought, as both Shostakov and Walker charge in like bulls competing for the only china shop in town, is: "We need to pick a leader before someone gets killed."
The Avengers are lightning in a bottle. And it turns out the New Avengers, Thunderbolts, whatever, aren't the second coming. Their next time out the gate already goes to hell barely half-way into the mission, where John and Bucky butt heads.
(Post-Thunderbolts. Bucky has unhealthy ways of coping and Walker's got no problems helping him out)

Summary
There is a man who lives inside the Soldier’s head.
The Soldier does not know much about the man. The man is an American, and he fought in one of the few twentieth-century wars the Soldier had not—if only because he did not exist yet. At some point, a war pitted their home countries against each other, but that did not put much of a damper on things. They are good friends.
Here is how the Winter Soldier dies: the resurrection of James Barnes.
An account of Bucky's time in Bucharest.

Summary
“You can crash here for the night, you know,” Sam says. “I don’t hate you enough to send you all the way back to Brooklyn in the rain.”
"Queens," Bucky says. Sam quirks his head. "Looked for a place in Brooklyn, but I couldn’t afford anything there without Steve."
"I don't hate you enough to send you back to Queens, then. Get comfy or don’t, up to you.”
“Thanks,” Bucky says, and his smile is so soft it almost reminds Sam of-
Nope. Not going there, not today, not ever. Sam brings out some soft goods, puts a Motown mix too loud on his headphones, and deep-cleans the kitchen while Bucky makes up the couch.
Or: The one where two veterans on the run from their issues come crashing headfirst into each other.

Summary
Bucky tried to say Steve's name, but all he could say was, "I feel like I know the artist," and Steve wasn't paying attention. He was tapping the brush against his mouth, looking forward at the painting. The liquid rose, around his ankles, his thighs, his chest. It wasn't cold; it was hot.
Eventually Steve looked back at Bucky again. He just looked sad, now. Disappointed, maybe. The red liquid lapped around his chin. "If you're not having a good time," he said, his voice muffled and distorted as the paint crept into his mouth, "we can leave."

Summary
It all ran together. Maybe it had been running together for a long time. He kind of lost track of it after a while; he had a little tablet in his room that would show him a calendar, some news, the weather. He didn't even look at the calendar, though. Calendars were for people who had something to expect, some event in their future to look forward to. Either he'd forgotten what that was like, or he'd never known in the first place.
There had been a moment, in the water with Steve -- the first time or the second, he wasn't sure -- where his wet gear and Steve's dead weight had dragged them both down. They had rested together in the swirling silt at the bottom of the river, and Bucky had looked up through the water and the falling debris and seen the hazy light of the sky shining through.
It had been strange. Everything happening around them, but this moment of silence and stillness. Sometimes the feeling Bucky had now reminded him of that.

Summary
“I’m Clint,” he says again, knowing that he’s going to have to force this if he’s not going to go insane in here. He lasted this long, but knowing that there’s someone else? Someone else who he could talk with? No, he needs that right now. So badly. Someone who isn’t Tasha coming in to update him on the real world. Someone else who’ll help him make fun of the guards and maybe who’ll harmonize with him to Bohemian Rhapsody. He’s not looking for a new best friend, just someone who’ll commiserate. “I’m gonna call you John.”
There’s some movement. Sounds like someone’s head bumping the wall. “Why John?”
“Since you aren’t giving me your name to work with, you’re a John Doe to me, right? So I’ll just… call you John.”

Summary
“What’s a guy like you doing in a place like this?” Clint says, instead.
Barnes snorts. “Having a drink,” he says, then gives Clint another one of those appraising looks. “You a professional?” he says, after a second, and Clint is momentarily confused.
A professional what?
And then he realizes Barnes must be talking about pool, and Clint huffs a laugh. “Only when there’s money involved,” he says, smirking, and Barnes kind of nods, like that makes any sort of sense.
Then Barnes nods again, a little more firmly, and says “You got a place?”
Which is about the point that Clint realizes that he’s not meeting the Winter Soldier in a bar, he’s being picked up by the Winter Soldier in a bar and-
“Yeah,” he croaks, clears his throat, thinks wildly that he’s really fucking glad Kate has Lucky for a few days, and says “Yeah, I got a place.”
Or, how Bucky got his groove back.
(And Clint too, but it was a different sort of groove)
