In the dead of the night, a man pulls over for a hitchhiker.
bigger man
For the first couple decades of his life, Steve had wanted nothing more than to be bigger than he was.
Sometimes though, these days, he finds himself wishing for the opposite.
there's nothing left of you
Bucky’s having a hard time reconciling Captain America with the friend he left behind in Brooklyn. It’s bad enough that every time he closes his eyes he sees the inside of a torture chamber. Now, every time he opens them again, he sees a stranger with Steve Rogers’ eyes and smile.
A Helping Hand
After everything Bucky has been through in his too long life, it seems especially cruel that even now, safe and sound in Steve's spare room, he still can't find the relief that he craves. Oh he's tried, of course. He's tried everything, but no matter what he does or how he does it he can't fucking come. Honestly this might just be one of the worst things Hydra ever did to him and they didn't even do it on purpose.
So, as much as he hates to admit it, he knows he's going to need a little help if he's ever going to get past whatever psychological snares Hydra have left behind and who better to assist him than Captain America himself? Besides, Steve has always gone above and beyond when it comes to Bucky, so perhaps he won't mind too much if he's asked to lend a hand this time too...
Hazard Pay ****** FAV AUTHOR********
Bucky wanders the hall outside, dazed, and finds himself in a supply closet three doors down. He sits on a box of spare boots and tries to process the fact that the United States Army has just, by official fiat, authorized him to fuck Steve Rogers.
No. Not fuck. "Provide specialized support." He wonders if there'll be paperwork. Two copies for the S.S.R. and one for the Brits.

After finding himself alone for the first time in decades, the Winter Soldier learns how to be a person again. Mostly through caring for an orphaned kitten, countless rounds of YouTube roulette, and stalking Captain America.
Or: Bucky Barnes, accidental millennial.

There is a man who lives inside the Soldier’s head.
The Soldier does not know much about the man. The man is an American, and he fought in one of the few twentieth-century wars the Soldier had not—if only because he did not exist yet. At some point, a war pitted their home countries against each other, but that did not put much of a damper on things. They are good friends.
Here is how the Winter Soldier dies: the resurrection of James Barnes.
