Summary
This is the story of a sister and her brother.
As the shadow of the war fades and gives way to new conflicts, Becca Barnes battles the constraints of the twentieth century: an education, a marriage, a career, with the ghosts of her youth never far from her memory. As the twenty-first century barrels on through its awkward teenage phase, Bucky Barnes builds a new life, with new friends, and a burgeoning relationship with his lifelong companion Steve, the erstwhile Captain America, as they struggle to find their place in the world.
The last time Becca saw her brother was on the eve of war; neither of them expected, some seventy-something years, a hip replacement, and one new arm later, to be reunited.This is a story about family.

Summary
Bucky’s clothes rustle when he pulls a pocket knife from his jacket. He eyes the scratchings in the trees before carefully carving his name next to a crude stick figure with a gun.
“You remember what it was like,” Bucky says, knife still in hand. “Don’t you?”
Steve thinks of the flat surface of an ocean, the dreams of floating. A lukewarm sea lapping against his knees as he drifted alone. Water dripping off his chin. His eyes opened in a strange bed and a strange world. “Just a little, yeah.”
Bucky nods. “I don’t feel cold anymore.”
“I—me too.”In the year after they leave the bunker in Siberia, Steve and Bucky find solace in painting, and maybe in the process, relearn how to be around each other again.

Summary
“So… shawarma?” Yelena asks after everything’s cooled down and the cameras are all gone.
“Really?” Walker sneers, “Are you serious right now, cause— cause that’s not funny—“
“I mean, it’s a little funny.” Yelena chuckles, which obviously means Alexei has to follow with loud boisterous laughter, even if he clearly doesn’t know what’s going on.

Summary
Bucky was halfway out the window when Steve grumbled, “Can’t believe you named a chicken after me.”
He turned back to look at Steve over his shoulder.
“Just missed you, I guess.”
He was still smiling, but it was the honest kind that grew from both corners of his mouth. Not teasing. The weight on Steve’s chest widened, a familiar measure of dread that lasted all summer, long after the hand-me-down sweater stopped smelling like Bucky.
It really would’ve been easier if he were teasing.

Five times Steve tried on Bucky’s clothes, and the one time they fit.

Summary
Bucky's dog tags were folded in the crease of the paper he'd torn from his journal, reading: "Steve, here. You have them, if you want them. You have me, if you want me. I’ve never tried loving a man before but for you I’ve run headfirst into wars and Death’s wide, gaping jaws, so this is easy in comparison. This is like breathing."
It was so dark when Bucky handed him the note, the fire just burning out, and he glanced back only once to see Steve watching him as he walked away.

Summary
When Steve opens the door, Bucky is standing on the other side, a few feet closer than he’d been the night before, and the cat is sitting back upon his shoulder.
“Hi, Bucky,” Steve says, smiling like this is a normal thing to be happening to them.
***
Bucky shows up at Steve's door a week after he pulled him out of the Potomac. He brings his cat with him.
Eventually, they stay.

Summary
Steve finds the flowers on his doorstep. In the slack grip of an unconscious HYDRA agent.
Sam raises an eyebrow. “Oh, this is real cute, Rogers. Your man knows how to do it. First flowers, then the douchebag looking to assassinate you. You bet your ass the next thing he sends’ll be a ring and a note proposing.”
Steve's face flushes the colour of the communist flag.

Summary
Seven weeks after going into cryostasis, Bucky Barnes wakes up.
-
The voice in his head is no longer recognizable. It used to sound like his drill sergeant from boot camp before the war—keep that gun up, Barnes!—and then overseas it had sounded more like Steve. Stay alive, damn it. For the longest time, for decades, it had sounded like Zola’s voice. Even after new Hydra leaders broke him to their will, Zola’s voice had remained the loudest, the most infuriating, the most self-satisfied.
Ready to comply, Soldier?
And always, always: yes.

Summary
“Listen, I guess I don’t... I don’t mind, if you look through them,” Bucky mumbles. “But I don’t want you getting your hopes up, okay? There may not...” He grimaces. “There may not be a cure.”
Steve just shakes his head, sits back. “I can’t think like that, Buck. I won’t. There’s gotta be a way to give you your life back, and I’m gonna find it.”
When Steve finds a connection between Bucky's trigger words and the memories in his notebooks, he pours everything he has into deciphering the clues and cobbling Bucky's agency back together. But the road to recovery is long and perilous, and Bucky seems adamant that he stay off it altogether. Steve is left to answer the impossible question: how do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved?

The Grand Plan by velleities

Summary
The Soldier doesn’t mean to be menacing, even if it's become the impression he naturally gives off. He wants to be a person, first and foremost, but he wants to be the right kind of person too, and that leads him to one irrefutable conclusion: he owes an apology to Captain America– an apology that he has to deliver, if the Soldier wants to be who he aspires. It’s just proving out to be a little harder than he thought...

Summary
Natasha says, “Look, whatever the truth is about you, we have no way of really knowing the Winter Soldier's intentions. He’s not all there, he’s not who you remember. He’s a hot mess, Steve.”
“Why does everyone think that?” Steve says, and he’s nearly yelling, but not quite, because he doesn’t need to, not when they’re so close. “Why does everyone keep saying he’s a mess—have you seen me? ”

“It doesn’t upset you that I . . .” Steve's words just seem to die off.
Sam gives Steve’s shoulder a hard shake. “There is nothing wrong with you, man. Everybody deals with the stuff they go through in different ways. You wanna be under water, this is the best I can offer you right now.” Sam says, “You know we’re going to find him, right?”
Steve blows out a slow breath. “I keep thinking, what if Bucky doesn’t want to be found? I don’t want to be – I can’t be another person hunting him."

Summary
Natasha drags Tony to the Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian to show him why she let Steve Rodgers go.
Sample:
“My point, Stark,” Natasha breathed sharply, “is that Steve wasn’t fighting for ‘chaos’ or to ‘ensure his own superiority’ as you think-”
Natasha’s sentence was interrupted by Tony’s whisper-yell, showcasing his pointed intensity without unwanted attention, “Oh no he just was just fighting for the guy who murdered my parents.”“No, he wasn’t. He was fighting to not be used as a weapon. For once, Tony, Shut up for two seconds and just listen to me!” Natasha did not give him time to respond, rather she started hastily on her track into the museum. Tony stayed where he was throwing his arms in the air.
“Natasha! I can’t listen if you're not saying anything!” he shouted before cursing and following behind her yet again.
