Summary
Two years after returning from the Blip, you're a down-on-your-luck, divorced NYC fixer who has no choice but to take on Bucky Barnes as your next client. Now managing his political campaign for the 9th congressional district seat in Brooklyn for the US House of Representatives, you're faced with an impossible decision: remain professional or risk it all for the former Winter Soldier?
If you enjoyed Scandal and Olitz then you'll love the dynamic between Bucky and Campaign Manager!Reader. Quite a few scenes and characters are inspired by the show. I would've done a crossover, but I just couldn't bring myself to write Bucky/Olivia Pope. That's Fitz's girl. This entire work is complete. I'll be updating chapters weekly (around Thursdays/Fridays).
In case you skipped the tags: This story has an angsty ending. If that's not your jam, please find another fic to enjoy! If it is, don't worry. This is the first installment of a 3-part series with this pairing.

Summary
Six months after winning Bucky Barnes a congressional seat in the House of Representatives, you decide to represent Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in her impeachment trial against your team's wishes. Now on opposite sides of a legal battle, you and Bucky work toward a professional and personal resolution that both of you can live with.
This 2nd installment in the bucky/campaign manager!reader series takes place during the events of Thunderbolts* from Reader and Bucky's POV. A much more fluffy ending than the campaign. Watch these crazy kids make up and wade through their weird and terrifying shame rooms to get to each other. Still basically a Scandal crossover, but not really.
THIS WORK AND THE SERIES IS ON HIATUS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE (see author's note in chapter 3 for details).
