Mr Fix It Has A Visitor by cairistiona7 reviews
Being an apartment building superintendent was supposed to be a nice anonymous proposition, but this is Bucky Barnes and things never seem to go like he plans.

Within the Legacy by Mellia Bee reviews
"You want these men?" Colonel Phillips was skeptical, but Steve was sure. What they didn't realize was that this would be the beginning of a legacy larger than them all. Regarding the day-to-day adventures inside the wartime camaraderie of Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter, Bucky Barnes, and the Howling Commandos. No slash.

You Will Call Me Friend by cairistiona7 reviews
A gap-filler for Captain America: Civil War. What happened when Steve and Bucky made it outside the bunker and found T'Challa waiting? Rating nudged up for occasional coarse language, because Bucky. Spoilers for the movie, of course, since this is a gapfiller.

Honey, I've Been There by Griselda Banks reviews
Oneshot. "No matter what he did or said, no matter how damaged and pathetic he was, there was one thing of which he could be certain: Juliet Rogers loved him... And that was enough love to outweigh every last terrible thing he'd ever done."

A Light in the Darkness by GloriousBlackout reviews
When Bucky is temporarily blinded following an explosion, the good news is that someone is there to help him. The not-so-good news is that it's Sam.

All That You Are by Griselda Banks reviews
Oneshot. Even though Bucky has escaped Hydra's clutches, their influence extends into every moment of his life. What can Steve possibly do to help him? BrooklynBros.

Luke 15 by Order of Arcadia reviews
Life is crazy. I wrote this so that we can take a moment and breathe. Summary: Steve reads from a leather book with a thin, satin bookmark. Bucky feels like he remembers it. Post-CA:TWS, no slash, the Remembered AU. Christian themes.

Third and Sixteenth by lerouret1 reviews
The thing about Manhattan diners is, you can never tell who's gonna walk in the door. Bucky struggles to remember who and what he is while taking refuge in a quiet New York diner. But the world will simply not leave him alone.

Shadow Boy by cairistiona7 reviews
Surely Bucky made at least one or two friends when he was in Bucharest. I wondered what those friends might be thinking about the day after they came for Bucky. Companion one-shot to "You Will Call Me Friend", specifically Chapter 10, which will be helpful to read first.

A Slice of Cake by Order of Arcadia reviews
So, two supersoldiers have a stand-up mixer...or, Bucky makes Steve run out for groceries and Steve comes home to a cake. Now we get to see how Bucky thought of the idea in the first place. No slash. Remembered AU, post-CA:TWS.

Until the Fear Is Leaving by Griselda Banks reviews
Oneshot. Post-CW. Non-Stucky. "'It's different each time...but it always ends the same way.' Bucky raised an eyebrow at that. He hadn't said it was a recurring nightmare, but that would explain why it was affecting him so much. When Steve fell silent, Bucky gently prompted, 'How does it end? ' ... 'I say, Hail Hydra.'"

A Rare Camaraderie by Mellia Bee reviews
At first Peggy and Bucky eyed each other warily behind Steve's oblivious back. Then overnight, the game changed. A series of moments in which Peggy, Bucky and Steve look after each other. Friendship, beginnings of Steve/Peggy. No slash.

Mr Fix It by cairistiona7 reviews
On the run for nearly a year after leaving Steve Rogers on the banks of the Potomac, Bucky's found a quiet hiding place in a city far from there, where he can work on becoming an actual human being again. Update: Now that I've seen CA:CW, this is mostly AU, but will be tied in to movie canon where possible. Complete.

The Pain Defining Me by Griselda Banks reviews
Oneshot. Spoilers for CW. Steve goes to visit Bucky, even though he knows Bucky can't hear, even though he knows it won't do any good. He just can't leave him to suffer alone. No pairings.

Get it Back by lighthousestilinski reviews
"Do you even remember them?" "I remember all of them." Bucky isn't okay with what's been left behind, and he almost isn't okay with admitting it. *Missing scene from Civil War inspired by something Sebastian Stan said in regards to Bucky. Do not read if you haven't seen the movie!*

Draw by TolkienGirl reviews
Two weeks after they land in Wakanda, Steve starts sketching again. Everyone thinks it's because he's doing better. It's not. (Set in Wakanda, directly post-Civil War. Steve angst, Artist!Steve, with appearances from ensemble. Gen, no slash at all.)

The Story of the Red Henley by Bundibird reviews
He… likes the colour. Was red his favourite colour, before? He doesn't know. Maybe it was. [A bucket full of Bucky-feels, and a sort-of origin story for the red Henley Bucky's wearing in the Cap 3 trailer. Cross-posted at AO3.]

Color by Numbers by Vitoliel reviews
The Soldier had come up with the plan in his spare time, though, he never actually believed he'd put it into practice. Hydra's reach seemed too complete – too powerful – to truthfully consider running. But then the man stopped fighting. He said he knew him. And the Soldier felt…felt… He knew what he felt was important. So, he ran.

Lullaby by Noelani618 reviews
Two times Bucky can't sleep because of nightmares and his best friend helps him fall asleep anyway. Extremely fluffy bromance one-shot.

Simple Conversation by Jee oto ta Huttuk koga reviews
Takes place right after "The Third Directive," but works if read independently. Bucky is recovering at Stark Tower and finds someone he can talk to. Contains the usual awful flashbacks, but trying to grow some peace for Bucky here. (No slash, no pairings) (COMPLETE)

Colors by Shazrolane reviews
The man shows him a new picture. A large blond man was huddled in the center of the paper, his face hidden in his hands. Surrounding him were pictures of another man with brown hair. Underneath were the words I have nightmares, too. The Soldier doesn't know how to draw 'safe', so he draws 'hurt'.

That Kid From Brooklyn by cairistiona7 reviews
When on a mission on American soil in 1973, the Winter Soldier failed to show up at the extraction point. Instead, confused and leaving great unease in his wake, he worked his way across America until he boarded a bus in Chicago that took him to New York. An outsider-POV ficlet for the Winter Soldier.

To Nurture a Ghost reviews
Little fic focusing on moments of Bucky's "slow life" in Wakanda. AKA a healing balm for anyone in need of it after the very large ouch that was Infinity War.

Paper Doll reviews
Alone in his little apartment, Bucky needs to scream over the voices in his head, and on this particular day it comes in the form of pouring his soul out to Steve, the man who called him his friend. Steve isn't there, of course, but he settles on the next best thing. No slash, non-St*cky.

Nightly Ghost reviews
I actually haven't written much 'fic at all, but my sad little mind just kind of came up with this. I still want to know all about what Bucky's been doing over the last two years and how he's been coping and getting along. (*cough* Netflix series, Marvel *cough*) I can only imagine that, in so many ways, it hasn't been super easy for him. So here's a tiny vignette. *runs and hides*
