Bucky’s hair is gettin' kind of long. Steve’s more than happy to help wash and style it. Below are my Top 5 Favorite Stories:
“Scents and Sensibility: The Working Assassin’s Guide to Supersoldier Seduction” (E, 93k) by galwednesday, silentwalrus, and skellerbvvt
Captain America wakes up from the ice in 2013. The Winter Soldier wakes up in 2009, or rather defects from HYDRA, for a value of defect that’s closer to decimate. He ends up working for SHIELD. In April 2014, he’s assigned to Captain America’s mission as a sniper. Steve’s just trying to get some kind of life together. Bucky is too, or at least he was until tall, blond and Captain shows up and starts just - being there, all the time. It’s terrible. It’s the worst. He has to do something about it.
+ Shrunkyclunks. A/B/O-adjacent (the clownfish AU). Steve and Bucky go a little nuts buying hair products

“tag ur porn” (G, 1k) by lazulisong
The screen blipped and the person reappeared, now clutching a large Ragdoll cat who was purring even as the human muffled another scream in it's fur. "Omigod. Omigod. I'm calm. I'm calm. GUYS. So you remember how I said I hoped you'd send in reaction vids to the hairstyle tutorials? I think Captain America just sent me one, oh my fucking God." They squeezed the cat tightly enough that it let out a mildly protesting squeak. "OH GOD, Roadkill, I'm so sorry, Mommy's so excited right now." They let go of the cat and it sort of flowed into a puddle between them and the camera. "Okay. Okay. Roll video."
Sam paused the video long enough to break out the ginger ale and vodka.
+ Post WS. Steve learns how to braid hair, and posts a response video on youtube ft. Bucky. If you like Sam, this story is Part 1 of 16 Sam-POV fics

“close your eyes (this shampoo burns like a motherfucker)” (E, 1k) by shmabs
Bucky likes showers, he really does, he just kinda forgets sometimes that he’s supposed to take them so often. As the Winter Soldier, he wasn’t expected (programmed, he reminds himself, he wasn’t in control) to bathe since his handlers did that for him. He’s really just not used to being in charge of his own hygiene, but thankfully Steve is totally willing to step up and help him out.
+ Post WS. Bucky gives a blowjob and gets his hair washed at the same time.

“Universal Constants” (T, 3k) by AidaRonan
“They took me back in,” Bucky says. “I got lucky.”
“This is lucky?” Steve stares at an obvious stab wound on his lower torso, letting off a steady stream of nebulous red clouds that wisp and dissipate like smoke.
“There’s words in my head, shit they can say that would take away everything I got back when you-” Bucky finally moves, lazily trailing one hand back and forth through the stained water next to his thigh, closing his eyes as though the sound soothes him. “They didn’t know the words.”
“You and me got our own words though, huh?” Steve asks.
+ Post WS. Steve finds a wounded Bucky in his tub. Bucky remembers and still loves him

“Effects of Obliteration” (E, 25k) by geneticallydead
“I watched a documentary on the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima a while ago. In the blast radius, sometimes a… a person blocked the bleaching effect of the radiation. So the person was vaporized, but a shadow was left behind, on a bridge or a wall – their shape, their outline, when they were completely gone," Steve said. "It’s called a nuclear shadow.”
“If you’re implying the Soldier is like a nuclear shadow, then that is seriously fucking dark, man,” Sam said dryly.
OR
Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the Winter Soldier was sent to the American arm of Hydra - only there was a malfunction in the cryo-unit that meant it couldn't be opened, and it was left, powered but abandoned, in an underground base.
25 years later, the Avengers find it.
+ Post Avengers. Steve washes Bucky’s hair and they both like it so much it becomes a habit. Bucky also discovers tumblr and wants to see the Stucky porn

“Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail” (M, 264k) by owlet
Oh sure, reunion results in happiness, kittens, and rainbows, because that's definitely how life goes when you've just spent 70 years as a tool of villainy. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
+ Post WS. Reposted from the Starter Pack list. Part 3 is Bucky and other long-haired Tower residents forming a Hair Club
