Summary
When Bucky fell from that train, when he slipped through Steve’s fingers, it had felt like the end of the world, a cataclysm whose blast radius was limited to one Steven Grant Rogers. Everyone else, he’d thought, could survive it, even if it hurt them. Steve could not. Steve had not, even if that had proven to be a temporary state of affairs.
Now, Steve’s world doesn’t feel like it’s ending. It feels like it’s beginning again: a violent transformation, a terrible rebirth. It roars through him, hope and horror in equal measure, drowning everything else out.
After the Avengers find a frozen Bucky in an abandoned HYDRA base in Siberia, Steve thinks that everything will be okay now that he has Bucky back, now that he's safe and alive and healing, now that they're together again. But Bucky's road to recovery is long, and Steve and Bucky have fundamentally different ideas about what it means to come home from the war seventy years later than they'd expected to. Those different ideas might even be irreconcilable. Even if Steve has found Bucky, he's going to have to reckon with the ways he's lost himself along the way, or risk losing Bucky forever.

Summary
The rifle was a hard, solid line across his back. Somewhere above his head the sun was still floating high in the sky. Everything further than ten paces was covered in the same brown, putrid soup. They called it fog, but it was more like a gaseous sludge rolling up from the bay, the smell of burning chemicals and garbage left out to rot on a hot summer day.
In a world that's gone to hell, everybody needs something to anchor them in the moment. Sometimes that thing is the person you thought you'd let go.
A rescue mission gone badly might be what tips the scales.Series

Summary
“But you’re my friend.”
Steve blinked, his lips twisting, and Bucky was sure he understood all too well, could see everything that was going on in his head with more clarity than Bucky really wanted to. Yet, the question Steve asked still felt like being punched.
“Am I really?”
When Bucky realized he’d need help after escaping from Hydra after the helicarriers fell, he returned to New York. The Avengers helped him get better, and he was doing well enough, but there were still things that were difficult, among them his relationship with Steve.
There were things he felt he had to hide, and he tried to keep them from interfering, but they only ended up driving a wedge into their relationship, and what was worse, he didn’t realize how bad it was until Steve was already leaving, getting on his bike and heading out to find his own peace.

Summary
“You’re not dancing,” Bucky chides, a crooked tilt to his grin softening the edge of his teasing glare. “Come on, Stevie, our kid got hitched today. And Cassie ain’t so bad, Pietro coulda done worse for himself.”
It’s the Stevie that gives him away, and Steve clucks his tongue in mock reprimand. Bucky hasn’t called him Stevie in over ten years—at least not when he’s sober.
Faced with his kid’s wedding, a twinkling secluded grove, and an ex-husband fresh off the dance floor, Steve Rogers can’t help but reflect on the road that’s led him here.

Summary
Bucky doesn't want to talk about life in LA. Or the icy numbness in his chest. Or how shattered he is without Steve. Or how he doesn't know who he is anymore. Or the supposed choices he has to come home.
But when Steve calls him babe out of habit, he decides to let him. At least for the weekend.
It's a lesson in choices and consequences and finally figuring out what's important.
--
You can't unmake a choice. Decisions in life aren't like making a bed or choosing a path. You made it, it's done. You don't unmake it or remake it like a do over. You just make a different choice and live with those consequences. Each day is a choice. And the consequences, good or bad, of staying here aren't the same as the consequences of coming back. Just like the consequences of leaving aren't the same as the consequences of staying gone.
__
Fully written, new chapter posted every two days.
Though this starts off with lots of soft, sad feels and fluff, I promise it ends very happily

Summary
Steve’s grip tightens on his arm, bracing for the fragile moment to break, but what Bucky says is, “Did you mean it?” with his chin tucked to his chest. “You still mine tonight?”
Steve’s startled laugh bounces off the cobblestones. He knows from Bucky’s glower, the color high on his cheeks, that whatever game he’s playing at, Steve isn’t following the rules.
“I’m sorry!” he says, tugging Bucky back to his body. Quieter, with their faces so close, “I’m sorry. But Jesus Christ, Buck, that was a stupid question.”

Summary
So, in a spontaneous decision, he took a quick shower, dressed in something other than oversized hoodies and sweatpants, and left his house, determined to sit in a bar for at least 30 minutes before he would go back home.
That’s how he ended up in The Tipsy Cow, nursing his beer in the back, staring at Steve.

Summary
Steve knows he can’t avoid Bucky forever. Even if it wasn’t a small apartment building already, where he’s run into people he’s trying not to see plenty of times before, there’s no way Winifred Barnes is gonna go a holiday season without inviting Sarah and Steve over for dinner. Last year, they got out of it because Sarah had an emergency shift at the hospital. The year before, Bucky’s flight had been delayed because of a blizzard, and he hadn’t made it home in time for the meal. Steve had a great time catching up with his sister, Becca, though.
So, as Steve is painfully aware, it’s been almost two and a half years since he’s really seen Bucky Barnes. The two of them just never texted to make plans like they said they would, and then never ran into each other. Which in hindsight, Steve supposes isn’t surprising, given everything that happened between them.

Summary
It’s been well over a decade since Bucky moved to the west coast in search of different opportunities. He left his old life in New York behind, and even though starting from scratch sucks balls, he made it work. The leather and kink community opened their arms to him and he was reborn.
Then years later, he's offered to help out an established kink festival. The problem? It's on the other coast. But he's a professional dom, and he's not one to betray the community that got him here today.
What he hadn't expected, however, was running into an ex on the day of preparations.
His old sub.

Summary
Bucky has been sitting cross legged on the floor with Steve Rogers for three hours. He feels giddy on two donuts too many, his ribs tight and hot from laughing. But mostly he feels smug as hell: he cannot wait to tell Clint how wrong he was when he said this was a terrible idea.
Well, what Clint had actually said was, “Are you out of your mind? Steve, as in Steve, is going to spend Hanukkah with you, in your studio apartment?”
—
In which Bucky can totally, definitely last eight nights without falling for his childhood best friend. Again.

Summary
The thing is, Bucky Barnes would have waited forever for Steve Rogers. He thinks he could have handled it. If only Steve had just compromised a little. But the thing is, he never did. And Bucky has to finally be strong, because they can't keep going like this. He can't. So he leaves. And now he's just left with memories.
-----
Steve clenches his jaw and goes for the box, unfolding the top flaps to see what’s inside. And what’s inside is…well, it somehow feels like all the oxygen leaves the room as he sees what’s inside. Because it’s his things and clothes and trinkets and memories. Things he left at Bucky’s place. Things he gave Bucky. Things Bucky treasured. Shoved into a box haphazardly.
Steve swallows as he stares at the items in the box, because suddenly this all makes sense and it’s the kind of sense that makes Steve feel a little like he’s dying. “D-did he say anything else?” he asks, voice cracking. “Bucky?” he clarifies. “When he was here?”
“Yes, Captain,” Friday answers. “He said to say goodbye.”

Summary
The rest of his sentence was cut off when a large hand rested on the small of his back and a familiar smooth voice said, “I’ll have two bottles of Yuengling, and two lemon drops, please.”
Steve turned to glare at Bucky as he charmed the bartender into forgetting about Steve and serving him instead.
“I was ordering,” Steve hissed.
“You were trying,” Bucky conceded and smirked down at him.
Steve runs into his ex-boyfriend Bucky at a bar and they start talking and drinking and somehow he ends up in Bucky's lap, but hey, it's his birthday, he can be a little messy if he wants to.
