Summary
It’s been two years since Bucky was medically discharged from the Army. It’s been two years and three months since he was taken captive as a POW.
Will Bucky’s PTSD let him live a normal life? If recovery isn’t linear, what about when it feels like a hurricane, when it chews him up and spits him out without a second glance? Bucky feels like he’s getting the hang of this college thing, but what about the man he keeps running into? Why does he feel a connection to him, when he shouldn’t be thinking about dating, not yet, not this soon?
Wherein Bucky learns that some threads never break, and acceptance can be found if you know where to look.

A Year in the Life of Sarge's Person by BlueSimplicity
Fandoms: Captain America (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
22 Jun 2019
Tags
Summary
This is the tale of a year in the life of Sarge’s person, AKA James Buchanan Barnes, as he tries to recover from everything that’s happened to him over the past eighty years. During that time, he is forced to deal with bad therapists, people with their own agendas, memories he doesn’t want, horrible losses from his past and almost insurmountable odds.
But this is also the story of all the crazy people Bucky meets along the way, who help him when he’s at his lowest, point him in the right direction when he feels lost, make him laugh, grow to love him for who he is, and most importantly, give him hope when he needs it most.
It’s a long and difficult journey, as Bucky works not just to let go of his past, but to also rebuild his own identity and a future for himself. And with Sarge at his side, Bucky slowly comes to realize that not everything he once loved is lost, and if he can just have enough faith in himself and those around him, he might, just might, get his very own happy ending.
Bucky IS Sarge’s person after all. As the once abandoned puppy Bucky saved one night from freezing to death, he knows, more than anyone, just how much Bucky deserves it.

The King of the Jocks: The King of the Misfits by Jessie Lucid (Lucidnancyboy)
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America (Movies), The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
06 Feb 2023
Tags
Summary
Steve and Bucky were from two completely different worlds. The haves and the have nots. The jocks and the weirdos. First class vs. coach. However you described them, it was never pretty when the two sides mixed. In addition to being rich, popular, and the superstar captain of the swim team, Steve was friends with every asshole that Bucky despised. Bucky, on the other hand, was lucky if he scored an extra twenty to pick up a pepperoni pizza on the weekend. Loud, crazy, and out and proud, Bucky happily spent his days doing handstands in the hallway, swimming at the Brooklyn YMCA, and getting blazed with his best friend Clint.
Smash Steve and Bucky’s worlds together and what do you get? Epic shock waves, blurred lines, and a big, beautiful mess that takes them places neither of them ever would’ve expected.
Equal parts comedy, romance, mystery, psychological drama, and thriller, strap in and enjoy the ride.
CONSTRUCTION ZONE- "Misfits" has been completely rewritten (shorter chapters—53 vs 28—streamlined writing, more jokes, and more feels), and the revised chapters are coming eventually. I promise, I'm working every single day. Follow me on my socials for posting announcements.

his heart was going like mad and yes (Or, How Steve Rogers Fell For Prosecco—and His Fella, All Over Again—In A Single Afternoon) by hitlikehammers

Summary
Bucky lowers himself against Steve's body, boneless and yet still agile as he speaks against Steve’s lips:
“And how he kissed me.”
And Steve doesn’t need a damned engraved invitation. Steve doesn’t need to be told twice.
(While this stands on its own, it is an unapologetic follow-up/companion to A Day Without Rain (Or, How Bucky Barnes Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace the Mud Mask) .)

Summary
"On a wing and a prayer: In poor condition, but just managing to get the job done."
In general, the pilots of the 187th Airborne Defense Squadron were no strangers to this saying; for the hot shot new pilot assigned to their squadron however, it was more than just a witty turn of phrase, it was a way of life.

Truth is, Bucky's always been giving up something, sacrificing pieces of himself on the promise that the trade would keep Steve with him, keep Steve breathing, keep Steve here.

Summary
There are always kids that run away to the circus.
Sometimes, they're from good families, kids from the depths of suburbia, looking for a new, exciting life. The circus is just a grittier, dirtier, summer camp to them, a brief foray into the seedy underbelly of travelling entertainment. They always go home, eventually.
And, there are kids like Clint. Who have to learn to hit the bullseye every time, and split arrows on cue, who learn to balance on a tightrope blindfolded, who learn not to flinch when the knives hit the plywood only millimeters from their soft flesh. If they learn, they’ll thrive, and they’ll eat, and they’ll sleep, sometimes even with a sturdy roof over their heads.
Sometimes, much later, some of those kids - from both categories - grow up and become SHIELD agents.

Summary
He gets barely a lift of eyebrows in return, which means he's going to have to work a hell of a lot harder to get a rise out of Coulson right now. And that is what he wants. To get a rise out of him. He catches himself smirking, and Coulson's giving him a look, like Really, Barton? , like he's caught his whole train of thought, half-hearted innuendo and all.
And Clint laughs and nods his head, because yes, really, but he’s not just pulling pigtails here.
