The Captain just wants to help his friend, but the Winter Soldier doesn't want help. How can Steve save Bucky from himself? (Set after Captain America 2)

He tries to reach out to Steve, but he can't feel his arm. It's too cold. Everything is cold save for his blood and Steve's smile. Long after he forgets his own name, Bucky remembers "Steve."

Bucky Barnes is a war hero. More importantly, he is Steve Roger's hero. But even heroes bleed. -An introspective of both Steve and Bucky's inner thoughts during TFA and TWS and beyond. Gets a little dark in places.- (Rated for mild language and violence. Includes some character death.) Non-slash. -Reviews are loved and appreciated :D -

The Winter Soldier fails his mission - he pulls his target to safety instead of killing him. Memories flash through his mind as he tries to make sense of who he is, and what his place is in the world. Set immediately after Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier (spoilers), following Bucky from the shores of the Potomac to the Smithsonian and beyond.

She was dramatic. He was dynamic. She was precise. He was impulsive. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart require time.

Lily has always considered herself ordinary. But as she enters her 7th year, things start changing and Lily starts going a bit mad. Suddenly, she's Head Girl, her mates are acting strangely, and there's a new James Potter she can't seem to get rid of. PRE-HBP
