Bucky and Steve's Excellent Adventure by blue_beans

Summary
Six months ago, Steve set out on a final mission to return the infinity stones to their proper timelines, and returned a minute later having lived out a life of peace and contentment with Peggy Carter in the past. He died in his sleep a few days later, surrounded by his friends. Or so Bucky assumes. He wouldn't know, he'd been busy being locked up on the Raft while the government decided whether or not to pardon him for the whole Winter Soldier thing.
What with the court-mandated therapy and the constant surveillance by alphabet agencies and the crushing weight of his past, he's not sure if giving him a chance at "normal life" is more cruel than the alternative. But he's doing fine. Great, actually, so don't ask. He didn't have a nightmare. Especially not that strangely disturbing one about Steve...

AKA I wanted to write the reverse time-heist and I'm still salty about Endgame. This is the result.

Summary
Bucky would never admit it out loud to anyone, but his most selfish fear was that he would end up alone. Or not so much that he’d end up alone, but that everyone else would find someone better and leave him behind.
~~~~~
From a regular kid growing up in the 1930s, to a "semi-stable 100-year-old man," Bucky loves and loses his family, his friends, and himself. You can think of this as my answer to the question "what is Bucky doing and thinking whenever the camera isn't focused on him?" (Answer: wishing he was drinking coffee and eating a good slice of chocolate cake).This fic covers events throughout the MCU up to and including TFATWS Season 1. There are spoilers. You have been warned.

Summary
On the outs with Sam and just about everyone else after a mission gone badly wrong, Bucky travels, and wanders, and drifts right into a group of other drifters, fitted together by a shared sense of never quite fitting in anywhere else.
And a partner/coworker/guy with a mutual friend-less Sam finds himself doing some wandering too, trying to unravel the mystery of that mission gone wrong. Wondering if, by chance, his path might cross again with that former partner/coworker/guy with a mutual friend.
It does. Of course it does. It’s like gravity between them, an inexorable pull they can’t escape, no matter how hard they try.

Summary
Zemo's stunt in Madripoor has consequences. People saw the Winter Soldier- really saw him- and now rumours spread fast. Some think Bucky's still under Hydra control. Others don't care; they just want the weapon. Whispers travel through dark corners of the internet and black-market circles: the Asset is alive.
And now his face is in the news.

Summary
The universe is always coming up with new and interesting ways to break James Buchanan Barnes.
This one just has a bit more mileage than most.
(The Thunderbolts are sent on a country-wide road trip to burn HYDRA’s remaining heads. Along the way, a 110-year-old man begins to accept that maybe, possibly, he’s allowed to have more than one friend at a time.)

Summary
“Look, I’m… I’m not really in the business of exploding little innocent laboratory experiment guinea pigs,” she said, patting Bob on the shoulder. The rodent in her hand squeaked indignantly. “So why don’t you leave here with me, and maybe we find you some clothes, and, like, a clif bar or something, because you still look sort of woozy. And then you can think about killing yourself in a way where I’m not the one pressing a button. Okay?”
She smiled at him in an attempt at comfort, straightening her posture to give herself some authority, or at least an air of confidence. He looked at her, and then the bomb, and then the guinea pig, and then behind him to the shadows on the wall. And then back to her.
“Okay,” he echoed, and she was pretty sure he had a bit less doom-and-gloom nothing-matters dejection in his expression now, so maybe she said something kind of right. Maybe.
“Great. How do you feel about wearing dead people shoes? The options here are slim.”
---
Or, Yelena gets sent to destroy O.X.E. Group evidence in a lab in Malaysia and finds... Bob. Bob, who was for sure a human experiment. Bob, who was definitely supposed to be dead. Bob, who absolutely knows more than he's letting on.

Summary
Brock Rumlow blinked, caught off guard from where he was standing in the middle of Steve’s doorway. He was looking at Bucky like he was seeing a ghost.
Steve was oblivious. “Bucky, this is Brock. He works with me at SHIELD. Brock… I assume you know who he is.”
Bucky grinned sharklike from his place at the kitchen table. He even went as far as to wave his metal fingers at Brock. He hoped the violence playing out in his mind wasn’t as visible to Steve as it was to Brock.
“You’re… Bucky Barnes.”
***
Much later Brock Rumlow sat in his chair in his crappy SHIELD apartment and wanted to scream.
Steve Rogers introducing them to each other, what a laugh. As if Brock didn’t know.
He was hit with a thought. Steve Rogers didn’t know who was in his apartment. Cause that certainly was not his old pal, his buddy, his Bucky.
That was the Winter Soldier playing house.
