Summary
“You’re gonna have to come in eventually,” says Sam, then he takes a deep breath and steps away from Barnes, back towards the club. “But it doesn’t have to be now.” Barnes’ eyes widen, and he goes utterly still. “I’ve got some conditions though, if I’m gonna let you go.”
A year after the helicarriers go down, Sam finds not the Winter Soldier, but Bucky Barnes, who's trying his best to live and not just survive while on the run. Sam finds him and keeps finding him, and eventually, Sam finds himself too.
An alternate take on canon where Sam and Bucky have been secretly meeting up since after CATWS.

Summary
“Christ,” Steve says without thinking. Reaches out to touch the bruise on Bucky’s throat. “What’d she do, try and eat you alive?”
“Oh,” Bucky says, quiet, maybe a little embarrassed. “No, I mean—you know, it was just a little necking.”
“Right,” Steve agrees, “necking,” as if he’s ever done anything of the damn sort, and then notices another bruise, lower down, right on Bucky’s collarbone. If he squints he can make out the shape of her teeth, the way she’d set them into Bucky’s skin and bitten down, laid claim, and it makes Steve oddly furious, makes him want to hurt Bucky himself. He digs his thumb hard into the dark bruise on Bucky’s throat, scrapes his nail across Bucky’s skin, and it’s a step too far, he knows that, sorta expects Bucky to say hey, or maybe come on, Steve, what the hell.
He doesn’t expect the sound that comes out of Bucky’s mouth: a breathy little gasp that has Steve running hot in a second, and then it’s like the both of them are holding their breath, the air full of nothing but still dark heat and the summer storm still crackling outside.

Summary
There's no way a man with the kind of soft touch Sam Wilson has could ever do all the brutal things Bucky wants somebody to do, and this is what Bucky tells himself every time he stays over, every time he borrows a toothbrush and gets into Sam's shower, every time he jerks himself off under hot water, resenting every single stroke and the ridiculously-nice-smelling shower gel he uses to do it, too.

A Plane Crash That Never Hits the Ground by spacestationtrustfund

Summary
During the war, a group of American soldiers were sat around in their barracks, eating dinner and making small talk. One of them asked his friend, "Here's a question for you. Imagine you see a Luftwaffe bomber and a V-PVO bomber. Which do you attack first, the German plane or the Soviet plane?" His friend thought about it, then replied, "Well, the German one, of course! Duty before pleasure."
(A triptych, of sorts.)

Summary
His current codename is Bucky. His new handlers are called friends. Steve, one of the highest ranking friends, only had to correct him once before he’d adapted to the new vocabulary. Yet so far, things are looking rough: decommissioned from active duty, he's left with no other purpose than their entertainment. All he can do is wait, push through with gritted teeth and do whatever he can to turn the tables in his favor again.

Summary
"Uh," says Clint. "So, you said you don't want to be involved with incubus stuff and I've been trying super hard to respect that, I swear it was an accident. I didn't realize you were having a moment there."
"What?" Bucky puts down his e-reader. "Isn't the incubus stuff about having sex?"
"It's physical contact plus arousal," Clint explains. "Sorry, I keep thinking Steve has gone over this with you. Giving someone an orgasm is the best way for me to get a good solid hit, but I can charge up more slowly just by touching people when they're turned on. So yeah, really sorry about that, I'll try not to let it happen again. I should leave you to, um... whatever you're doing." He backs away toward the elevator.
Bucky swallows and says, "Wait."

Summary
After that he just looks at himself for a long time, taking in the rich blue of the dressing gown, the silk dark enough to cover him well but sheer enough to hint at what’s underneath. The shape of the kaftan fades the breadth of his shoulders, and the sash tied around his waist accentuates the narrowness of it; creates an illusion of Bucky being slenderer, smaller; tiny, delicate. With the new haircut and the faint flush high on his cheekbones, he looks almost unrecognizable: clearly more pretty than handsome; feminine, like one of those housewives in the 1950s media, waiting for her man to come home.

Summary
Bucky picks at the delicate fabric to reveal a silken black lining underneath. He holds it up in front of him and suddenly it’s like he can see himself looking at it, like he’s in a department store picking out his size, wondering if he should take it to a fitting room. He wants to hold it against his body, low on his hips.
Bucky drops the skirt like it's caught on fire.
“Uh,” he calls out, panicked and wavery.
Then he stops because he doesn’t know what to say now, or even that he wants to say it.

“You should be careful of that one,” Mr. Hendrickson says, with a nod to Bucky outside the window. “It ain’t right. Looking at you all the time as he does. The way he should be looking at girls.”
Steve laughs, because damn, but what a ridiculous idea.
Or, five times Steve caught Bucky looking at him, and the one time he looked first.

Summary
Sam’s not leaving this to paperwork. Like he and Bucky are gonna be carrying around whatever medical power of attorney paperwork Dr. Raynor is thinking of while they’re on missions. No, there’s a simple solution here: if next of kin and spouses are the only ones to get speedy and full recognition as the person to talk to when one of them is incapacitated or goddamn dying in a hospital, then he and Bucky are just gonna have to be that. Next of kin is out, there’s too damn much explanation required there, and too much potential paperwork too, so that leaves spouse.
“We’re gonna get married.”
Dr. Raynor stops in the middle of the hallway. “What.”
When Bucky is seriously injured on a mission and Sam's denied any updates about his condition much less allowed to see him, Sam comes up with a plan: a let's-get-married plan. It's only practical. It definitely doesn't have anything to do with feelings, or being in love, it's just for legal reasons. Just a totally practical, partners thing.

Summary
Therapy is a lot harder than Sam had let on, Steve thinks. Talking about things he’s never talked about, revealing things he’s never revealed. And to someone who’d started out a perfect stranger. It goes against every instinct in himself, all of which tell him to keep these things to himself, to let it all out only in the physical violence of a fist against a punching bag.
It’s been a month now since Bucky—Jigsaw—came back of his own volition after the auction debacle and his escape from the Tower. Since they first pissed off the FBI by ruining a handful of raids against Clint’s “tracksuit mafia.” Since they raided that bank vault and found everything waiting there inside it that Jigsaw had said would be there. Waiting, perhaps, to be used.
It’s been a month, but it feels so much longer.
(Or: The one where the Avengers have successfully brought the asset in after his murder sprees, and the therapy (and relationships) can begin in earnest. A direct sequel to Blue-Eyed Matador.)
