Theme 1: Adventures of the Winter Soldier(s)

the long game, a difficult winter, and guardian demons  by dirtybinary , M, T, and T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes; Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes/Sam Wilson). In 1945, Steve Rogers trades himself to the Red Room in exchange for the Winter Soldier. They accept his offer, but don't let Bucky go. After all, their supersoldiers come as a matched set.

Faster Sugarplum, Kill! Kill!  by meh_guh, E (Bucky Barnes/OCs). It's 1959 and the Winter Soldier has been woken to perform an act of corporate espionage. His cover? Primo Ballerino with the Bolshoi's first performance in the West.

I can’t remember how this started (but I can tell you exactly how it ends) by gwyneth rhys, M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). The Winter Soldier does Groundhog Day.

Jackie, Ricky, Becky, Bucky by zetsubonna, G (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve and Bucky get reacquainted and Bucky remembers his siblings.

the prosecution rests by dirtybinary , T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). The Asset has to admit, ending a mission with Captain America crying into his lap is pretty unexpected. Even for him, and he is trained to anticipate all contingencies.

Bigger Than Us by monicawoe , M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky's in jail for breaking into the Museum of Natural History after hours. Steve's going to bail him out, and then they're going to have a serious talk. Or that's the plan anyway. Neither of them expected Central Park to start attacking people.

we were in screaming color by fakeplasticlily, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky recovers his memories via post-it note, and Steve plans a special birthday celebration.

Theme 3: Meet-Cutes and Modern Romance

A Piece of Silly Affection by reccea , E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve comes back from a mission with a beard. Bucky is not unaffected.

Theme 4: Steve De-Serumed

an act of easy mercy by magdaliny , E (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Steve gets de-serumed, which is the catalyst for a change in the direction of his career and his relationship with Bucky.

nothing goes over his head by fmo, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). In which Bucky gets knocked out briefly during a mission, wakes up fine, and then spends a day enduring strange hints, clandestine looks, and cryptic texts from his friends. Steve will never let him live this one down.

Theme 5: Trans Bucky

I Still Remember by redsteele, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Bucky is 10 years old and still going by Jane. She hates wearing skirts and she hates wearing dresses and she hates her name. There’s just something so uncomfortable about people looking at her and calling her “a pretty little lady.”

American Son; or Bye Bye, Blackbird by basset_voyager, T (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). Kate Bishop @notthehawkguy tons of AMAZING women served in WWII but I don't think James Barnes was one of them. Clearly Barnes wanted 2 live & B remembered as male. Cap still refers 2 him that way long after his death. Think I'll take my cue from that.

Pygmalion aux pieds de sa statue qui s’anime by alcibiades , M (Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes). The first time Steve Rogers met Bucky Barnes, Bucky was called Rebecca.
