Summary
Bucky Barnes knows he’s not where he’s supposed to be - he’s got gaps in his memories, and what scant things he can remember play out like film reels: a glittering safe cove, hidden from ships and protected fiercely by a sleepy village; working at the docks by day and stealing away to study blond hair and thin shoulders in the moonlight. A collection of sea glass, laid out in the sand, and shiny, iridescent scales; a tail chased underwater. Laughter, friendship, longing. Aboard a ship filled with a scheming crew and turned into a weapon, Bucky knows he’s not where he belongs.
As soon as he sees him, he knows where exactly that is.

Summary
Single Dad Steve Rogers lives with his mother - retired nurse Sarah Rogers, and four year old daughter, Evangeline Margaret. Support for Evangeline comes in the form of bi-weekly deposits into a joint account from Peggy Carter, and Steve tries to tell himself that his heart doesn’t ache each time the bank alerts ping on his phone.
Enter war vet Bucky Barnes with a few ghosts of his own and his faithful therapy dog Gypsy, who bide their days working at the local Library. After months of hearing about Sara’s successful son, “an accountant,” she always gushes; Bucky passes him off as some flaky big-city big shot.
But, when Steve finally attends story hour with the girls, both he and Bucky get far more than they bargained for.

Summary
It’s taken Bucky a miserable, lonely year to re-learn how to behave like a human. Escaping HYDRA took its toll on him, but when he sees that floating city on television screen, he knows his days in hiding are numbered. Finding Steve is the easy part: Steve has always been Bucky’s true north, the compass guiding him home. Once he finds him, though, he realizes just how much he still has to overcome. The Asset remains, tucked away, lurking beneath the recesses of Bucky’s mind throughout every breakfast, joke, and long overdue moment.
HYDRA always finds a way to tear James Buchanan Barnes apart sooner or later. The only question is, will the version of himself that Bucky has spent the last years building be enough to protect him?

Summary
by thesardine
There wasn’t anything left to salvage. That’s what Fury believed. It would have been a kindness to put him down.
When SHIELD finally releases Bucky from custody, he is not the man anyone expects him to be. Steve struggles to reconcile the stranger with the man who was once his best friend, but with Hydra regrouping after the events at Triskelion, Steve is dragged back into battle when Bucky needs him the most. Meanwhile, Hydra is itching to have its prize weapon back under their control, and a devastating betrayal pits Bucky against a terrible piece of ex-SHIELD tech that threatens to destroy everything he's struggled to rebuild. In order to survive, he must decide who he is going to be: the vulnerable Bucky Barnes or the indomitable Winter Soldier? It turns out there might not be as big a difference as everyone seems to think.
