Summary
“I'm looking for The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill.”
Steve's screaming on the inside. “I can definitely get that for you,” he (successfully) says calmly, and scans the bookshelf in a more subdued manner than he did a couple of moments before. Spotting it on the shelf, he reaches up to grab it for the man.
As he hands it to the man, their hands brush together. Feeling a spark shoot through his body, his eyes immediately snap up to meet the man. Steve leaves his hand in that position for another moment, and then slowly retracts it.
A beat passes, and with his eyes still trained on Steve, a shy smile quirks at the end of the man's lips.
“Thanks, Bookshelf Boy."

Summary
Abruptly, Sam wonders how many people have put a friendly hand on Bucky in the last ninety-odd years. How many times did touch like this mean pain and suffering, instead of someone trying to take care of him? And it makes his heart ache, the thought of how much devastation and roughness Bucky’s been through, denied this kind of casual, compassionate touch that Sam doesn’t even think twice about offering.
Experimentally, he pulls his hand back. Bucky makes this low whining noise that makes Sam put his hand back immediately. And then he watches the way Bucky leans into it, eyelids fluttering like he’s almost falling asleep like this. Doesn’t even seem conscious of it, like he’s gone somewhere else in his head while Sam’s patching him up. And it’s – Sam doesn’t know what to think, doesn’t know what to feel. Because this is Bucky, and he’s showing such terrifying vulnerability, and Sam –
Sam can’t help but wonder if Bucky still expects pain every time someone touches him.
(Five times Sam realizes Bucky is touch-starved, and the one time he really does something about it.)

you should know me better than that by napricot

Summary
“I thought you said he’s grumpy and surly and has a staring problem,” Sarah says, complete with accusatory side-eye. “That man does not look grumpy and surly to me.”
Sam has to concede that in this particular moment, Sarah is right. Bucky looks the furthest thing possible from grumpy and surly right now: he’s in evidently animated conversation with Carlos and Mrs. Grace the librarian and Marie from down the road, and a smile is never far from Bucky’s face. Hell, as Sam watches, Bucky laughs at something Mrs. Grace says, and Sam feels about as dizzy and disoriented as if he’s just been knocked on the head and then spun around, because what the hell.
Sam and Bucky may be partners now, but they still have a lot of getting to know each other to do. For Sam, letting Bucky get to know him is proving to be a more difficult prospect than expected. At least, it is until an exposure to truth serum leads to some revelations about his and Bucky's relationship.

the wires for empathy by napricot

Summary
“I feel like literally, actually saving the world has given you unrealistic expectations. Most folks don’t need you to save the entire world on the regular, Sam," said Sarah.
“I hear you,” said Sam, rueful. He sighed and tipped his head back, pressing the heels of his hands against his eyes. “But I still kind of feel like I have to save the entire world, if I’m carrying this shield.”
“Sam,” said Bucky, and Sam lowered his hands and opened his eyes to look at him, only to find himself the subject of Bucky’s staring problem yet again. “Let’s just go out there. See who we can help, how."
Taking on the Captain America mantle is all well and good, but unfortunately, it quickly becomes pretty obvious to Sam that carrying the shield doesn't guarantee a paying gig as a superhero—at least, not any kind of job that fits with the kind of Cap Sam wants to be. But when it comes down to it, all Sam wants to do is use the shield to help people, so paying gig or not, he and Bucky set out on the road to do just that, and to figure out what kind of superheroes they want to be. Slowly but surely, they figure out just what kind of partners they want to be too. (Hint: it is not 'just a couple of guys.')

Summary
“What? What is it?” Sam asked, and pushed the box of trophies aside.
The expression of terrible glee on Sarah’s face said she hadn’t found a horrifyingly large spider or anything, but what she pulled out of the box was honestly kind of worse.
“I cannot believe that until this moment, I forgot your favorite toy for a while there was a Bucky Bear!”
Bucky could never find out that Sam's favorite childhood toy had been a Bucky Bear, and he definitely couldn't ever find out about Sam's childhood crush on the cartoon version of Bucky. Unfortunately, getting dosed with a magic potion might just make Sam spill the beans, because it turned out that the real Bucky was maybe even more cuddly than his teddy bear counterpart.

Summary
“What no one told you about miraculously coming back from the dead was how it was a total goddamn shitshow. Because yeah, Sam was alive, and yeah, the apocalypse had been averted, sort of—he wasn’t clear on if it counted when the apocalypse had still happened but all the people who’d died came back. But at his last count, Sam had lost: five years, two best friends, a home and/or place to live, practically all of his stuff, and—okay, this one wasn’t so bad—his fugitive status. Sam had gained: Captain America’s shield and Bucky.”
How Sam and Bucky get by, after Thanos is defeated. Or: the story of how two idiots become roommates, partners, friends with benefits, and maybe something more, if they could just stop being so oblivious, while they wait to find out if their Steve’s ever coming back from his trip through time.
