What is it like to talk to someone regardless of distance? To reassure and be reassured as soon as doubt rears its head? Below are my Top 5 Favorites:
“20th Century Limited” (E, 52k) by Speranza
"Where am I? Where is this?" and he was in Brooklyn, he was on a beach, the train was shaking around him. He was in the plane, ice splintering up onto the windshield. He was in a tank, tubes trailing from his face, from his groin. Christ, he was cold. There was still ice on his fingers. He was in the Grand Canyon. He was in Times Square. This couldn't be Times Square. Where the hell was this? "Tell me! Where am I, who are you, where's—" —Bucky?
+ TFA to CW. Everyone with the serum gets linked together

“Open Book” (E, 3k) by mcwho
“You’re lying,” Bucky says. “Fuck, even if I couldn’t read your mind I’d know you were lying, Jesus, Rogers, are you seriously this bad at lying? Didn’t you used to be part of a major intelligence organisation?”
or, bucky wakes up one day with unlimited access to steve's mind
+ Post WS. Steve is perpetually horny and Bucky has no time to be stressed

“On the Outside” (M, 5k) by zilia
Love in a cold climate in the 21st century.
+ Post CW. Soulmates have telepathic bonds, but after 70 years of separation, they’re unable to physically touch without blacking out. They make it work

“In Your Head” (T, 47k) by sara_holmes
Getting Bucky back is possibly the best thing to happen to Steve ever. Even if Bucky is not exactly the fella he used to be, keeping him close is definitely #1 on Steve's to-do list. That being said, ending up with Bucky's consciousness riding shotgun in his brain is probably too close for even Steve.
+ Post WS. With Deadpool’s intervention, the boys take turns in each other’s heads

“memory, rewritten” (M, 9k) by augustbird
The only way to remove the trigger words is by resetting the associations in Bucky's mind. Unfortunately, Steve is the only one who can help.
+ Post CW. Sharing memories and finally getting their happy ending
