Summary
“Juliette, this is Bucky Barnes. Buck, this is Juliette,” Steve turned to introduce you. “This is our son James, And our littlest, is expected in a few months...”
Bucky’s eyes darted down from rings on your hand holding onto your sons leg, across to the prominent bump in your dress before he held out his hand.
“Ma’am, it’s a privilege to meet you.” He greeted.The sergeant’s voice was softer than you’d expected.
Kinder.
Gentle.Your stomach tumbled around at the sound of him.

Summary
James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes was Captain America's best friend his story was painted all over the measeum walls side by side with the Howling Comandos. He was then recorded in the locked files of the HYDRA vaults. But there is more to his story, much more in between the lines of his history and eventual pardon. So much lost time, so much missing information, so much story still left to tell.
Please note that this fic is only the first of three potential future parts. This will be considered the 40s segmentPersonal note: This fic is very whumpy and an excuse for me to beat the shit out of my favourite character, because what else do you do with your favourite character than inflict unimaginable pain on them :) Please mind the tags and please excuse the fact that this fic is going to take me YEARS to complete.
(Edit: I changed some of the tags recently since I'm not sure if certain aspects common place with Bucky's story and his time as the Winter Soldier will actually be in this fic since it's going to be split up into several parts)

Summary
Set between The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and CA:BNW/Thunderbolts, this story explores an ever expanding series of mishaps and shenanigans resulting from Sam asking Bucky out on a first date.
Is Bucky ready for said date?
No.
Is the Winter Soldier invited?
No.
Does he show up anyway?
Hell, yes!I'm many chapters ahead, pondering the mysteries of Bucky's mind, and the love a newly reawakened part of him has for Sam, who's struggling to maintain his optimism in the face of multiple kidnappings, abrupt protocol amendments, and unexpected interior decorating. Enjoy!

Summary
Bucky hasn't had an easy time starting a new life after Hydra. He's a mess of a human who barely functions on a good day. Today was not a 'good day.' He finds himself at the edge of a mental break, but falling apart would have to wait for another time.
He's called to duty by Steve Rodgers when he finds out Manhattan is under attack by an unknown enemy. The Avengers were spread thin, down men and in need of help, and Bucky Barnes was the only backup they had left.
There is no other choice than to join the fight. Unfortunately, Steve Rogers has already assigned him a partner, the one and only Iron Man. To say that Bucky and Tony Stark did not get along was an understatement. Tony wanted Bucky dead, and Bucky, well, he just wanted Tony to leave him alone.
They are forced to set aside their emotions when they are ambushed and the Iron Man suit is destroyed, leaving them in a war zone and cut off from the team. Injured and hunted, they must fight for survival, but sometimes fighting just isn't enough. This is a trap they cannot escape.
Abducted and imprisoned in a desolate cell, what is it that their unknown captors want? More importantly, how the hell were James and Tony going to get out of this?

Someone You Claim Is Gone by angelofunrest

Summary
Basically just a retelling of the period in episode three of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier where Bucky Barnes is forced to go undercover in Madripoor as the Winter Soldier, but from Bucky's POV/internal monologue. Plus some extra scenes I threw in for added emotional development/more angst. That's all this is it's just Bucky Barnes having PTSD, and bestie Sam Wilson trying really hard to help but being shut down immediately because Bucky is bad at talking about his feelings.
The first time I watched this episode all that I could think about was how traumatizing and distressing this whole situation had to be for him and then we see no emotional repercussions from it throughout the rest of the show so naturally I wrote some angst about it here you go enjoy the angst.

Summary
To most people, John probably looks the perfect little soldier, despite some previous, minor hiccups. In reality, he's teetering on the edge of suicide. Not that he'd call it that. He just wants his death to mean something, okay?

“Bad break-up, huh?” He raised an eyebrow, smile widening. “Ms-I-don't-want-a boyfriend.”
Eden’s teeth dragged against her bottom lip, hopeless to stop her eyes from wandering to his mouth.
“....something like that—” She muttered.
“You know the best way to get over someone?” He whispered, putting his cigarette out. The smoke whirled into the air before it died, and Eden’s eyes shifted quickly from the fading embers and into the deep pools of his blue gaze.
“No” She shook her head shyly, intrigue tugging at her every vein.
Bucky leaned closer, his lips parting slowly as his eyes wandered to her mouth.
“Get under someone else”

Eden is warned, more than once by her friend Sarah, to stay the fuck away from Bucky Barnes (seriously).Eden doesn't listen.
Man, she hates when Sarah is right.
