Summary
Time, space, and reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know.
What if the Winter Soldier remembered Howard Stark?

Summary
Bucky is... free. Or at least, he's free enough to know that there's a life outside of Hydra. His body is free, able to roam the cities that he finds himself in and warm his hands by their fires.
His mind is not. The flashbacks follow him wherever he goes, whispering in his ears and gripping his lungs with the control that they'd had in the moment they'd taken place.
Then the Hydra agents start appearing, eager to take back their prized asset. They're living reminders of the life he's trying to run from, and they're just as desperate as him to succeed. The Winter Soldier is their most effective weapon, after all, and it wouldn't do to simply let it run wild after decades of meticulous conditioning.
It's hard to adjust to a life of normalcy when his past keeps showing up at his front door.
The soldier with blond hair who turns up only makes it worse.

Is This The Way To Amarillo? by UponTheWindowSill

Summary
On February 20th, 1973, Codename: Winter Soldier was assigned the mission of killing Texas Senator Harry Baxtor. Though the assassination was carried out with the necessary efficiency, the operative did not appear for his scheduled extraction. Priority is given to this asset’s retrieval.
He knows this much:
His name is James, and he is twenty years old. In 1954, he was assigned the codename of Winter Soldier for Department X, a clandestine arm of the KGB. He has been their agent since they saved him, an American soldier, at the end of the war, and his former allegiance to the United States makes him one of their most valuable undercover operatives in the fog of the Cold War.
Yet, even though there were some twenty eight years between then and now, he automatically defaults to 1945 whenever he considers the year. And every time they release him from cryogenic stasis, he can’t help but recognize that the world steadily grows less and less familiar to navigate. In a mission to the United States during 1973, he decides to briefly put aside his obligation to Department X to pursue what little he can still recognize. -

Summary
Canon compliant. Set during S01EP03 (Power Broker) of TFATWS.
"When he turns, Sam is already staring, but Bucky doesn’t look at him. His eyes go straight to Zemo as he utters the title that haunts him. It’s like a trigger. A gun cocked and loaded.
Bucky stares down the barrel."
An angsty look inside Bucky's head when he pretends to be the Winter Soldier in Madripoor.

Summary
Bucky goes into ice, and Steve is left to deal with it while trying to find a new purpose in a world where everything seems to be up in the air. First things first; get his friends free again, and proceed from there.
Bucky goes into ice, knowing that when he wakes up everything will be different. It will have been only a blink for him, but for others it will have been months, maybe even years. Still, there is a truth he knows; you have to save yourself. Others can help, but ultimately you have to be the one to do it.
He also knows that sometimes what you need to do to save yourself is incompatible with someone else’s needs or wants. Incompatible with their happiness.
Steve can’t help but think they keep finding each other only to lose each other only to find each other only to lose each other again, all the while circling around what exactly they mean to each other, never quite looking straight at it.
There is another truth that Steve knows; he can’t take it any longer. The cycle must be stopped.

Summary
In a world built on lies and blood, she breaks the Asset. She tears through the walls no one else could breach, leaving him raw, exposed, painfully human. For a fleeting moment, he remembers who he could be—who they could be together. But Hydra’s cruelty threatens to shatter everything they have fought to reclaim.
Secretly allying with the Black Widow, Misha races against time, desperate to carve a path back to Steve, to freedom – for both of them. Every step, every decision, is a razor’s edge between survival and utter annihilation. Alone in a world that wants to consume them, two souls cling to one another, fragile threads of trust and loyalty binding them through hope and pain.
Yet the closer they come to escape, the more perilous their bond becomes, and in the blink of an eye, everything they hold dear could vanish forever….until one of them has to make the ultimate sacrifice.Series

I Was an Assassin for HYDRA and All I Got Was This Lousy Identity Crisis by jesmalestiel
Fandom: Black Widow (Movie 2021), Captain America (Chris Evans Movies), Hawkeye (Marvel Comics), Iron Man (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
21 Oct 2025
Summary
This series is a massive AU that is a mix of mostly MCU canon but also incorporates elements of the comics where I see fit. It starts with a fic about what would happen if the Winter Soldier recognized Howard Stark. It's currently composed of oneshots, however a minimum of three longer fics as well as two shorter within the series are planned. They are ultimately all building to an Avengers 2012-style team up fic. One of the planned longfics is a Black Widow AU where Alexei and Melina defect and continue to raise Natasha and Yelena in the US, and another is an AU where Bucky defects in the 90s and falls in love with Circus!Clint.
Any and all explicit scenes from these fics will be posted as separate oneshots, with the primary fics containing plot details are all rated G or T.

Summary
Maybe, Rumlow thought, if he could distract himself, if he could just focus on cleaning his gear, he could --- oh, fuck. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the Soldier sprawled out on the sofa, slowly sliding his right hand between his legs.
Brock Rumlow isn’t authorized to touch the Winter Soldier. The fact that the Soldier has decided to jerk off in front of him after a mission doesn’t make it easier.

Saving Grace by notyourmoralcompass

Summary
Her mission was simple: retrieve the Winter Soldier and return him to HYDRA.
Alive, if possible. Dead, if it meant she didn’t fail.But nothing about James Buchanan Barnes is simple. Not the way he looks at her. Not the way he carries the title of weapon like a wound. Not the way her suit trusted him more than it ever trusted her.
He spares her life. And she makes the mistake of letting him keep his.
Now they're running—together. From HYDRA, from the Avengers, from every power on Earth that wants them back in chains. Every road behind them is soaked in blood. Every road ahead is a dead end.
And somewhere in the middle of it, he touches her like he’s afraid to break her.
Like she’s not a weapon.
Like he isn’t either.Where do they go, when there's nowhere left to run?
And what does it mean to be human, when you were never meant to be?
A post-CATWS slow-burn character epic. Bucky/OC. Trauma, trust, and the long road to something like love.
Trilogy of Trilogies.

Summary
Steve knows Bucky remembered. Even if only for half a second, he knew Steve. Til the end of the line. For years those words had kept Steve going, through the coldest winters when every breath drew a deep rattle from his lungs, Bucky had been there, wrapping every item of clothing he owned around Steve’s body and saying those damn words over and over again.
___________________________________________________________
In 2014, The Winter Soldier does not leave Steve on the side of the Potomac in Washington. In 1945, back in the hands of HYDRA, Bucky Barnes just has to hold out until Steve finds him.A self-indulgent exploration of the dismantling of Bucky Barnes and the recovery on the other side, written in both eras in alternating chapters.

Knives Cut Like Memories by sherlockpond

Summary
Based on a prompt from tumblr:
"It is my headcanon that there is a gun on the table in this scene because The Winter Soldier has been trained to arm any of his handlers who are not already armed while in his presence so that, if they so choose, they can put him down at any time.
Later, it takes Steve months to figure out why Bucky gives him a knife every time they’re in the same room."
I really liked that idea, so I decided to write it.
