    Summary

    Even when Zemo had ordered him to attack — Зимний солдат, атака — those were words Bucky heard every night, ringing through his mind when he shot up from the hardwood floor, and the blood on his hands from the people he had hurt was an all too familiar pain. At least this time, the people he had harmed were actual scum, and not innocent collateral damage in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    (Or: The immediate aftermath of Sam, Bucky, and Zemo's undercover operation in Madripoor.)

    Summary

    Bucky (2:51 pm): What do you think about cats?

    Bucky (2:54 pm): Just wondering.

    Sam looked down at his phone with apprehension. He had a bad feeling about this.

    Bucky finds a cat and brings it home. Sam isn't a cat person, until he is.

    Summary

    A year after Steve Rogers' death, Bucky Barnes gets a letter requesting he go to a specific coffeeshop at a specific time, where he promptly runs into Sam Wilson with his own letter. When they find another letter, they begin a scavenger hunt set up by Steve that sends them searching for storage units, hot chocolate, closure, and maybe even a little bit of Christmas magic in each other.

    Summary

    “Usually I don’t wake you up.”

    “Lucky for you, I’ve not been asleep."

    ***

    Or rather, that fic where Sam wakes up one night to find Bucky sleeping on the floor beside his bed. This is most certainly normal behavior.

    Summary

    Sam clambers on top of Bucky. It’s surprisingly comfortable considering the circumstances. The man under him sighs in satisfaction and urges Sam to relax too; whispering into his ear and rubbing up and down his back. He lets his head fall into the crook of Bucky’s neck and exhales. 

    -

    (5+1 of Sam and Bucky platonically and then maybe not so platonically.)

    Summary

    “That idiot,” Sam growled out, shaking his head with vehemence. "He couldn’t have waited? Couldn’t have held off just five damn minutes for someone with the right gear? The room wasn’t going anywhere! It would’ve been fine to just wait, and now look where he is!”

    “He’ll be okay, Sam,” Torres said, voice still quiet as he maneuvered the jet upwards and away. “He’s tough.”

    “Whatever toxin that was was tougher,” Sam muttered, shaking his head. “He stopped breathing, Torres.”

    While on a mission, Bucky takes a hit, and doesn't get back up. Sam helps him recover. (Or: shameless Bucky Barnes whump that I did way too much research into airborne poisoning and recovery for.)

    Summary

    “You’re not there anymore, Buck,” Sam said, when he finally spoke. “You’re here, with me. In Louisiana, by the lake. In my sister’s house. She and the boys are asleep upstairs. I’m here with you; you’re here with me.”

    It was a grounding tool; to give surroundings, to anchor and support. It was something — or rather, someone — that Bucky desperately needed. An anchor.

    (Or: When staying at Sam's sister's for the night, Bucky worries about his nightmares, and is right to worry. Sam helps.)

    Summary

    He’s been debating on cutting his hair for a long time, and finally decided to take the plunge. While he admittedly likes the way it looks more than he thought he would, it’s still a bit too reminiscent of his days as a play-thing for HYDRA to not be at least a little tempted to chop it off. And, well, it’s only hair; if he hates it short, it’ll grow back.

    Still, Bucky hesitates.

    Summary

    But Sam is looking at him with lidded eyes and a soft little smile on his lips. It feels private. Like a smile that’s been saved just for him, out of all the people in the world Sam could smile at like that. Feels like that moment in the bar when their eyes met and it was just the two of them, like the rest of the world fell away and Sam was the only thing that mattered. And it’s – Bucky should be terrified. Probably is terrified, if he stops and thinks about it. But it’s just Sam. Just the person Bucky cares about most in the world.

    Sam’s gaze flickers down. It takes Bucky a second to realize – oh, he’s staring at my lips – and then a dizzying rush of heat floods through him. Makes him feel alive in a way he hasn’t felt in so long. Makes him want to lean in, to see what Sam tastes like, how soft his lips are. Wants to see what noise he’d make if Bucky just - just surprised him and leaned forward and –

    He’s leaning forward. Closing the distance between them. So slowly, achingly slowly, but it’s –

    He can’t. He just –

    Can’t.

    (Not yet, at least. Not until he works up the courage. But he tells himself that for now it's enough, just being next to him, just being his friend.)

    Summary

    "Hey," Bucky says. His voice is so soft, almost intimate. And he smiles, too, almost shy in the way he's looking at Sam, with this little tilting of his lips and the sweep of his eyelashes against his cheek and the bluest of blue eyes Sam's ever seen. All at once he's struck with the most intense longing, with the urge to reach out and brush his fingertips along Bucky's jaw.

    "Hey," he says back. Feels stupid with how tied his tongue suddenly is.

    "Whatcha hungry for?" Bucky asks. He stands up straight, smiles a little more at Sam, and it's - fuck, he's so beautiful, and Sam -

    Sam maybe has a problem.

     

    (in which Bucky asks for help in dealing with his trauma, and Sam falls in love so slowly he doesn't notice until it's too late)

    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.)

    Summary

    “Fucking hell, shut up and go back to sleep,” Sam grumbles. “I got you, man. I’m right here.”

    It feels like the cargo plane again. Feels like someone actually cares about him, and Bucky’s really not sure what do with the emotions it sparks in his chest. He’s also, maybe, just a little too tired to examine it too closely. Lists sideways again, and can’t help the way his head falls on Sam’s shoulder. Sam tenses, briefly, and Bucky worries he’s fucked up again – but then Sam settles back against the couch, exhaling a little amused huff.

    “Sleep, Bucky,” he whispers.

    Sam’s so warm. It’s almost intimate, even though they’re not touching anywhere except head and shoulder. But Sam’s so warm, and it’s closer than Bucky’s been to another human being in, like, seventy years. It feels safe. Comfortable. Sam is there for him, and he doesn’t care that Bucky’s fucked-up brain woke him up in the middle of the night. Bucky exhales, and all the leftover tension sighs out of him. So, he does the only thing he can do. He relaxes down against Sam’s side, closes his eyes, and lets sleep carry him away.

     

    Five times Sam helped Bucky with his nightmares, and the one time Bucky returned the favor.

    Summary

    All Tony needs right now is a good night’s sleep, but with nightmares nipping at his heels, he can’t do it without his sweatshirt— Rhodey’s sweatshirt, technically, that had become Tony’s long ago, back in their MIT days. The sweatshirt had kept him warm, cozy, and safe through many bad nights, but now it’s missing and when Tony finds out which one of his teammates is a no-good clothes thief, oh, they were going to have words.

    Bucky can’t think of a better way to celebrate coming home.

    DUM-E has decided that PAPA TON-E needs to smile more often, which means DUM-E might have to run over a few feet, make better smoothies, and decide who brings PAPA TON-E the most JOY (the current answer - FRIEND BUCK-E).

    Not to worry because DUM-E is the bot for the job (even if it means locking his favorite humans in the SERVER ROOM until they stop fighting).
