Summary
The year is 1945. You are Mrs. James Barnes, one of the countless 'gold star wives' who lost a husband in the war. V-E Day in Europe brings an end to the European theatre; though to you, the victory is hollow without Bucky by your side. You didn't even have a body to bury.
As focus shifts to the fighting continuing in the Pacific, you are facing the frightening prospect of raising your unborn child alone. That is, until Steve Rogers comes to your door, determined to make good on the last request that Bucky ever made of him.
The year is 1955. He is the Winter Soldier, and has been for the past decade, living a half-life in the ice at the whims of others. When he is roused for a mission, he executes it without question. He doesn't wonder why the target calls him 'Barnes'. He doesn't hesitate to kill. And once he stages the scene to look like an accident, all he needs to do is walk away.
But he can't. Because in a fleeting photograph on a newspaper front page, he sees the face of a stranger he doesn't remember, but who he knows. And he can't get you out of his head.

Summary
The past of the Winter Soldier and the Black Widow is shrouded in mystery. Though it's common knowledge they once shared the flame of love. But the event that tore them apart decades ago is lost to time, buried away.
It is the mid 50's. With the success of the Winter Soldier program, Department X began working on a new project: the Black Widow Ops. Twenty-eight young women were chosen. Pulled from the streets and homes where no one would remember them. Due to the Winter Soldier's field experience, he was assigned to lead their training. Little did they know that the programming they had worked so tirelessly to instill in him had begun to break from the prolonged wakefulness. Natalia Romanova, the only one who saw him as a person and not the machine they made him into, chiseled away at the melting ice.
They hid their romance from their superiors for months, meeting under cover of night. They clung to each other as if deep down they knew they would be torn apart.

Summary
She says Wife like it’s a title, a name maybe.
She says Barton like she’s purposefully pulling herself away from Clint, a thing he knows is likely what she’s doing.
Steve has the passing thought that it’s degrading to call a woman by such a title before he can say as much, Tony butts in, “Damn, didn’t know you had all of this, Hawkeye.”
The Avengers meet Clint's wife, instead of his movie family. It's a bit of a shock.

Summary
"You’re my mission" the words came out when I shoved the target on the ground.
"You’re my mission!" I repeated while punching target in the face. It sounded more as if I was trying to convince myself that the man laying under me is nothing more than just another target, another mission to accomplish.
When I was about to punch the target one more time—something stopped me.
I looked at his face closely. It was bruised and his eye was swollen, blood dripping from his mouth and nose, few cuts on his forehead and cheeks."Then finish it, because I'm with you till the end of the line" the target said
*I'm with you till the end of the line*
I remembered these words
or
After destruction of Project Insight and Steve's and Bucky's fight on Helicarier, Steve falls into the water and Bucky rescues him. After taking him out of the water he stops for a second to make sure Steve was breathing and then walks away. What If Steve wasn't breathing and Winter had to take care of Steve?

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.

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
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.
