It's the general consensus that Bucky, freed from Hydra would proceed to take it down. This is how he came to that decision.

Because sometimes the perfect partner is right in front of you… and you just need your friends to give you a little push. Romanogers One-Shot.

Through the reflections of truth, hope remains alive as both Steve and Bucky gather shattered fragments of their lost friendship when freedom no longer exists without a price. Pre- Captain America: Civil War.

James (Bucky) and Natalia (Black Widow) discuss recovery from the past in the early morning. BuckyxNat

a short character study of the Winter Soldier/Bucky

Natasha warned Steve he might not want to pull on that thread, but it wasn't like he had much of a choice.

I watched as Captain America was thawed from the ice. Poor guy. But good for Coulson. He was practically hyperventilating next to me. I watched closely and I noticed something. He was moving. Steve Rogers was moving. Okay. Either he's alive or he's a zombie. His chest was moving up and down, he was breathing. "Oh my god! This guy's still alive!"

A sad poem (sonnet) about the Winter Soldier / Bucky Barnes.

"Your name is Jennifer Rebecca Barnes, younger sister of James Buchanan Barnes by a year. I am Steve Rogers, your fiance." "No! You're my mission!" I yelled out at him. "Then finish it. Because I am with you till the end of the line. I love you, Becky." I froze mid-punch at his words. I know him…

On the rooftop of Clint's apartment building, Bucky is silently sitting in the corner with Clint's dog, watching as everyone else enjoys each other's company. At one point, Sam asks Steve to share the story of how he and Bucky met, only he tells the story so badly that Bucky feels compelled to jump in and set the record straight.

Its a hard thing to let go of your best friend... especially when he's right there, but James needs to learn who he is and Steve has to learn to love that person who he becomes or learn to let him go and move on.

"I hate you," Bucky snarls. "I know," Steve sighs. Recovery, he reminds himself, takes time. Recovery, he reminds himself, isn't always pretty. Recovery, he reminds himself, is possible. This, he reminds himself, is progress. (warnings for emotional abuse and suicide attempt. This isn't a happy story, guys.)

A one shot for Steve Rogers.

Old ficlet I wrote that I found stashed in my files. Teen!Steve and Teen!Bucky goofing around in Bucky's dad's office, just like any other bffs.

(Standalone, also works as backstory to Even When I Had Nothing.) "That wasn't my first kiss since 1945," Steve told Natasha in The Winter Soldier. "I'm ninety-five, I'm not dead."

Steve is found in the snowy wasteland and is reunited with Peggy to spend his life with her. After she dies, Steve will have to adjust to a world without Peggy, while still fighting HYDRA. Teaming up with Black Widow and the rest of the Avengers is the only option in order to take it down. Everyone has ghosts. Everyone has choices. They only have to decide what to do with them.

For Sam and Steve, finding Bucky was the easy part. But now two distinct personalities reside within him: Bucky Barnes and the Winter Soldier. Sam decides to call in an old friend: Sgt. Fox, a young war veteran and amputee, having suffered PTSD herself. Dodging SHIELD and Hydra agents alike, the trio struggles to bring Bucky back and eliminate the Soldier before time runs out.

Look, I know I'm an asshole and I know that, but wait for it okay, it's going to get better soon. I chose love okay, I chose love over my family and I lost everything. You happy now, you got it out of me? That's why I look like hell frozen over and thawed unevenly. [Steve/Bucky, Stucky, AU]

A one-shot about Bucky and Natasha's thoughts and memories during and after the fight on the bridge. "Just remember, pauk: whatever happens, don't let go of my hand."

"That's the kind of 'good morning' I want from my husband." With eyes alight, she teased him as she took another drink from the steaming cup. "And my name isn't 'Mrs. Barnes.'" Super fluffy one-shot part of series with Bucky and Lark

Steve is in love with a bipolar ghost that haunts his place and does his dishes.

Hydra wastes no time tying up a loose end. (Consider it a sequel to the "I know you" one shots)

She seemed in such distress, and he was genuinely worried about having upset her, when a tremulous smile seemed to illuminate Lark like the sun through a canopy. Bucky/Lark

We've always wished for an escape. For love. For adventure. When a package arrives, April Robinson is given a chance at a new life. And it just so happens to start in an alleyway. In 1943. The one thing she wants to know is, who is this Howard Stark? HowardXOC

Maria Hill never lest her heart lead, because doing so leads to foolish decisions, such as letting a certain super-soldier get under her skin. These sorts of decisions are always disastrous mistakes, and this time is no exception. Prequel to Too Busy, et. al. But you don't have to read those first. Rated T for language, violence, and smooching. :)
