Summary
The Winter Soldier, a traumatized Sergeant Bucky Barnes, a broken hearted Captain America and a cute female nurse are the main characters of this fluff orientated story!
Bucky suffers from PTSD and has severe split personality disorder.
He has to learn to deal with a de-aging Winter Soldier camping in the backroom of his brain.
This story alternates POVs, it's mainly Bucky, a lot of the Winter Soldier, but also Female Reader and Steve.
At some point we will cross paths with an adorable Bruce Banner and way later, with an orphan Peter Parker.
I've tried and kept intimacy/smut scenes to realistic and light, as they are not the center of the story.
This story is not canon, but I feel like it would fit after the Winter Soldier, Steve would have found Bucky and they'd live together at the tower.The WInter Soldier dialogs are in bold, inner dialogs in italics and bold, inner dialogs of Bucky in italics.

Summary
“Bucky—“ Joaquin starts. “Er— I mean… Sargent Barnes? Senator? Whatever, just listen. He isn’t conscious yet, and—“
“I just want to check on him,” Bucky says, “He doesn’t have to be awake for me to see if he’s okay.”
“Well— yeah,” Joaquin says. “But listen, he’s— he’s different.”
And this, finally, has Bucky stop in his tracks, in the middle of a sterile corridor with painfully bright fluorescents humming overhead.
“Different?” Bucky repeats. “Different how?”
“They did things to him,” Joaquin says. He’ll hardly meet his eyes. “He- He was awake, sort of, when we found him. And he wasn’t— I mean, he wasn’t not Sam, but he was… wrong. In shock, maybe, but they did things to him, experiments, and—“
And maybe Joaquin thought this would make Bucky hesitate. Maybe he thought Bucky would listen more once he heard the gravity of the situation.
Instead, Bucky sets off in a run.
***
Or rather, that fic where Sam Wilson gets actual wings after being captured and experimented on, and Bucky Barnes is there to help him learn how to live again.

Summary
After saving New York from the Void, you, a former Black Widow, are tossed onto the makeshift "New Avengers" team that Valentina just pulled out of her corrupt ass. With nowhere else to call home, you reluctantly agree to stay in the New Avengers tower, only to find out it won't be that simple. It turns out that of all the people on the team, you and Bucky's reputations are the ones hardest for the public to swallow, so Valentina hires an image consultant that tells you that you and Bucky will be roommates and she'll schedule an interview with a major magazine to "soften up" you and Bucky's image and make you more palatable to the rest of the world. You'll have one hell of a time learning how to cohabitate with the grumpy Avenger, especially since you're trying to suppress your crush on him as desperately as you can, but maybe there's a silver lining to this situation after all. Post Thunderbolts, but pre-Fantastic Four Bucky/Reader ficlet.

Summary
“The movement and behaviour patterns of Sergeant Barnes are shifting at indistinguishable time points”, Jarvis explained. “When this happens, he usually does not talk and retreats somewhere to be alone. The only two exceptions have been this morning and five days ago, after you first fixed his arm, Sir.”
Jarvis showed footage of Bucky watching Tony work on the suit.
“I don’t remember that”, Bucky muttered.
“What would you suggest, J? Some form of sleepwalking?” Tony asked.
“Since he talked to you, Sir, that is rather unlikely,” Jarvis responded. “It seems more akin to something like hypnosis.”
Bucky drew in a sharp breath. “It’s him”, he gasped. “It’s the Winter Soldier.”
“You are the Winter Soldier”, Tony said.
“No, the Winter Soldier is separate from me. He is fully Hydra’s creation.”
When Steve brings Bucky to the tower to heal, after the fall of SHIELD, everything should be fine. But the Winter Soldier keeps reappearing, leaving Bucky with holes in his memories and uncomfortable, especially since the Winter Soldier makes it his mission to come on to Tony. And Bucky is not gay. He definitely likes women. So why does his alter ego insist on wanting Tony? -

Summary
Peter Parker is fourteen when he thinks he can't suffer anymore. He quickly realizes that the horrific murder of his aunt is only the start of his pain.
---
The man didn’t say a word as he slowly dragged the blade down the inside of Peter’s wrist, deep enough that any normal person would’ve bled out swiftly, and he had to fight against every one of his screaming instincts to stay quiet. His blood was hot and sticky as it quickly seeped from the vein Peter knew had been hit. The heat of it was almost comforting when the chair was so cold, but the initial rush of warmth faded as his fingertips began to turn to ice.
For a brief second, Peter entertained the idea of bleeding out, but his body was working against him and he could already feel his insides trying to stitch themselves back together.
“Fascinating…” The man whispered, before turning to scribble something in his notebook.

Summary
Steve belongs to Bucky, whether he knows it or not, whether he likes it or not. But Steve isn't complaining, he'd rather belong to Bucky over anyone else.
Or, Bucky finds out that Steve matches his freak, even after all these years.
>><<
Bucky slid his backpack off and lowered himself into a crouch, pressing his back to the wall. From this angle, he had a full view of the kitchen and part of the living room. The curtains weren't drawn. He watched Steve run a shaky hand through his hair, saw him fight not to break down in the middle of his own apartment. He adjusted his position slightly, settling in. He could stay for hours like this, days if he had to. Steve didn't know it yet, but someone was watching over him now.

Summary
He had done this before. He had followed their orders, obeyed without question, and became everything they wanted him to be. Their perfect weapon.
But he had left, he escaped, and he remembered who he was. He started healing, slowly, and painfully. He had friends. He fell in love. He had a life, fragile, haunted by the blood on his hands, and the echoes of their cruelty and violence. But it was still his.
And then they took it all away. Again. They shattered everything he had fought to rebuild. He never thought he would go back, not ever, and certainly not like this. Not when they were using the person he loved to do it.
He had done this before. And now, he will have to do it all over again.

Summary
Sadly, the MCU never really dove into Bucky's time in Wakanda, or how exactly the Winter Soldier programming was removed from his mind. In this humble rendition, before there was immersive goat therapy, there was Professor Jadzia Xavier, a female version of the infamous mutant psychic Charles Xavier.
This elusive former leader of the X-men comes to Wakanda to help right the wrongs done to James "Bucky" Barnes. She’s there to repay a debt, help a broken man heal, and perhaps reassert her place in a world of individuals with extraordinary abilities. She didn’t necessarily consider the legal ramifications, the strain on her engagement, or the inconvenient feelings aroused by a one-armed curmudgeon with severe PTSD.

Summary
(After separating temporarily with Lucy, James seeks out Brock Rumlow, his ex mission handler and former commander, with self-worth issues. Brock proves to be very unhelpful).
He shouldn't be here. James knew that like the back of his hand. He shouldn’t be here, at the hidden cottage he knew the Commander was living in. He shouldn’t have looked for him, shouldn’t have walked here with nothing but his duffel bag and himself. He. . .he shouldn’t be here.
But he was.
And he couldn’t back out now. His feet wouldn’t let him. His body wouldn’t let him. He exhaled, running a hand through his hair as he gazed at the broad cottage, eyebrows furrowing. He could neither leave nor step forward, stuck in place and time. He was scared—he would be stupid not to be. The Commander wasn’t always dangerous, only when he wanted to be; only when he wanted to make him hurt.
