(Or: what if, instead of superheroes, they were Formula One drivers?)

Summary
Ten years ago, Bucky disappeared.
Now, Steve has built a life without him—teaching art, and trying not to wonder what became of the boy who once meant everything to him.
Then one night, in the middle of the city, he sees him.
But the man Steve finds isn’t the boy he knew. Bucky is volatile, paranoid, and hiding something behind a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. He chain-smokes, talks to things that aren’t there, and sometimes forgets where he is.
What starts as a chance encounter becomes something far more complicated as Steve begins to piece together the past Bucky’s too scared to tell—and the present he’s trying to survive.
Or, the story of how Bucky lost his arm and fell in love with his childhood best friend.

Summary
FBI Special Agent Steven Grant Rogers has been busting his asthmatic, polyglot ass for years to get where he is, in a glass office high up in the FBI headquarters in New York City, practically leading the Violent Crimes Division at age 27. He’s the youngest supervising agent in the division, and he wouldn’t jeopardise that title for anything; not his roommate’s cousin Sharon, not Hill’s shifty CI who won’t quit flirting with him, not even his stepfather calling and practically begging for some sort of relationship. Nothing can get in his way. Not when he’s so close to catching the world’s most wanted criminal: the Winter Soldier, suspected to be a glorified KGB agent without a shred of humanity left in his frozen heart.
And then he manages to catch the guy and his life is entirely upended. Because the Winter Soldier is not what Steve expected—he’s overly compliant, eerily silent, and damaged in ways Steve can’t even begin to fathom.

All Wars End the Same by kodakren

Summary
Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a man.
To break him, you must first shatter his body—again and again and again. Then, you take his mind, his will, his name. You strip him down to something unrecognisable, reshape him into something he was never meant to be. Survival is its own kind of cruelty, and some wounds don’t heal. Some don’t even scar.
Because war doesn’t just take. It chews men up and spits them out as something else: hollowed beings, stitched haphazardly, and left to stumble forward. No side is ever truly victorious, not when the battlefield becomes a graveyard, and the survivors are left carrying its ghosts. No matter who wins, the cost is always the same: the weight of what can never be undone.
All wars end the same.

This is the story of Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, and the Howling Commandos. The war they fought. The men they lost. The scars they carried. The love that blooms, even in the darkest of places, far behind enemy lines.Before the ice. Before the Winter Soldier.
Before it all got worse .

Summary
The Asset has been stolen. It’s not familiar with the new organization that has gotten a hold of it, but it knows it must adapt quickly, follow orders, do well, and prove itself.
But ever since waking up with bandages carefully wrapped around its torso, it has found itself questioning what its new handler wants—or, more accurately, doesn’t seem to want from it. The Captain doesn’t act like any other handler it has had before, and now the Asset feels like it doesn’t understand anything… least of all its own growing desire to stay by the Captain’s side.
