Summary
Steve's rarely been touched in a way that didn't equate to some kind of hurt. The cold metal of a stethoscope against his frail chest or the sting of a needle drawing yet another blood sample, when he was a sickly child. The bone-shattering punches thrown by the neighborhood bullies on the playground, or by his own father at home, drunk and wild. His mother, weak and clutching at him as she grew more incoherent with the drugs as the cancer ate away at her insides. Touch was something he shied away from, something he told himself he just didn't want.
Except...he did. He just didn't know how.
Until he finds a flyer for a local "affection and intimacy services" program.
In which Steve learns how to become comfortable with touch, and there is one very good dog, and a slow-burn romance.

Sing Me a Smile by OhCaptainMyCaptain

Summary
"Sing me a smile, Buck."
Steve’s always liked Bucky’s voice. Raspy, gentle… On key, but by no means a thing to be heard on Broadway. Bucky’s always been one of those people who hums a tune while he works the hours away. It’s usually under his breath, and most people never seem to catch it, but it’s there.
Steve’s favourite is when Bucky sings along to “How Deep is the Ocean” by Irving Berlin, and the first time Bucky ever sings it to him is when Steve’s fifteen and holed up in his bedroom, sick as a mangy dog. Usually Steve can give him a smile no matter how bad the cold, but on this particular occasion, he keeps staring off and seems to be worse for the wear; one of those rare occasions where the shit cards he constantly seems to be dealt are finally dragging down his mood.

You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To by EmilianaDarling

Summary
“What about you, Barnes?” asks Dugan. The sound of his voice brings Bucky back to the present, dredges him out of memories of a beat-up little apartment with sunlight streaming in through the windows. “Got yourself a girl waiting for you back home?”
There’s an answer on the tip of his tongue, one that he’ll deliver with a cocky grin and a half-laugh and a little shake of his head. But Bucky is exhausted and hungry and so sore it hurts to move, and one of the guys in their platoon fucking died yesterday. His mouth tastes like iodine water and his feet hurt and none of it’s going to get better any time soon, and all at once Bucky misses Steve so badly he can barely see straight.
“Yeah,” Bucky declares abruptly, the word escaping from his mouth before he fully realizes what he’s saying. “Yeah, I do.”
[This fic presents a self-contained story that can easily be read on its own. If desired, however, it can also be read as a prequel to "Reconstruction Site" and "Amidst the Rubble". It takes place chronologically first but was written third.]Series

Summary
There was a thick wad of cash on the stand beside the door, the clock was ticking closer and closer to nine, and Bucky was already regretting this decision. He fell onto the sofa, the tense feeling of anxiety twisting and clenching in his gut. It pulled him forward, pulled his hands to grip into his hair and dragged a low groan from his throat.
What the hell had made him think this would be a good idea?
(Prompt: Hooker/Client AU, but Bucky's the client and nervous about it.)

Summary
While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.
Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.
