Summary
Steve’s lips quirk up a bit. “Though, I did only ask her for a dance lesson.”
“Those aren’t particularly romantic, Stevie,” is what Bucky says. What Bucky thinks is they’re still touching, and this was a dance lesson, and nothing Steve is saying is snuffing out a single shred of the longing in him.
“Aren’t they?” Steve murmurs under his breath and Bucky shouldn’t be able to hear it, even this close, but he does. He does, and runs hot in half-a-heartbeat.
Shit.
____________________In which Bucky Barnes gets home from the war in time for the holidays alongside the man he loves (even if that gorgeous punk doesn’t know it yet); swipes a neon-blue vial from a millionaire’s lab; gives a dance lesson; and learns how much more his life can be with the right partner.
Post What If…? Episode 1.01.

Summary
Bucky has a notebook. He'd found it in an apartment, tucked under a mattress, filled with lists of everything from major historical events to local restaurants to eat at and inane pop culture references that he doesn't understand. He doesn't touch those pages. He makes lists of his own, lists of names and dates and places that have been burned into his memory by the serum in his veins.
Bucky keeps the notebook on his person at all times, along with a scrap of cloth and several ceramic knives. The scrap of cloth is shaped like a star; he'd cut it straight off of that man's chest after dragging him out of the river, after falling from the sky, after failing to kill him.
That man's name is Steve Rogers, Bucky knows now. And Rogers is the reason for the gruesome scene in front of him.
After the fall of Hydra, Steve chases ghosts, while Bucky chases Steve.

Summary
Then he was up in Bucky's space, crowding him against the counter, which was laughable because it wasn't as though Steve would be able to keep him there if Bucky didn't allow him to. Bucky looked startled, mouth parting so prettily, and that gave him a cheap sort of thrill because Steve knew that he could do anything in that moment—and that Bucky was going to let him.
"You miss me, huh, Bucky?" he cooed, tone mocking. "Wanna keep me company, gonna invite yourself to stay in my apartment?" Steve scoffed. "Next thing you'll say you're gonna keep my bed warm for me, too."
Everyone copes with grief differently. In Steve's case, it's picking a fight with his best friend—which somehow ends with him falling into bed with Bucky anyway.

Summary
It's winter time. And Bucky, Steve, Sam and Natasha are spending some time together. A quiet winter vacation was never a possibility with these two sets of couples. A holiday story complete with a festival, a daring rescue and maybe someone popping the big question.
