Summary
The Winter Soldier, a traumatized Sergeant Bucky Barnes, a broken hearted Captain America and a cute female nurse are the main characters of this fluff orientated story!
Bucky suffers from PTSD and has severe split personality disorder.
He has to learn to deal with a de-aging Winter Soldier camping in the backroom of his brain.
This story alternates POVs, it's mainly Bucky, a lot of the Winter Soldier, but also Female Reader and Steve.
At some point we will cross paths with an adorable Bruce Banner and way later, with an orphan Peter Parker.
I've tried and kept intimacy/smut scenes to realistic and light, as they are not the center of the story.
This story is not canon, but I feel like it would fit after the Winter Soldier, Steve would have found Bucky and they'd live together at the tower.The WInter Soldier dialogs are in bold, inner dialogs in italics and bold, inner dialogs of Bucky in italics.

30 Jun 2026
Summary
A collection of stories with James "Bucky" Barnes (Marvel Universe) as a main character.
I guess I just really like writing that character!
Some stories are short, some are longer, some are real weird, some are real sweet, and most of them are non canon-compliant.- Words:

Summary
Bucky Barnes returns from Wakanda expecting to recover in peace.
Instead, Tony Stark gives him a room in Avengers Tower, thanks to Steve's coercion.
Suddenly he's living with Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and finds the one thing he never expected to find again—a home.
However, Steve Rogers thought getting Bucky back would be the hard part. It turns out learning who they are now is much harder than finding each other ever was.
Or: two super soldiers spend months acting like an old married couple while the entire Avengers team waits for them to realise they're hopelessly in love.

Summary
You’re not quite sure how your classes got so popular. When you started teaching here a decade ago, you didn’t even have a full schedule. Now suddenly enough students have enrolled in art that they have to hire a part-time teacher to cover the other two classes.
You don’t mind helping him out a bit, do you? He’s a great artist, but just retired from a very different career, so he’s doing his own courses in the evening to get his full certification.
He’d be teaching the two freshman classes. You could do those in your sleep, so sharing your plans and materials is no hardship for you. You have to wonder though— What kind of job would someone retire from just to go through the trouble of becoming a high school teacher? In this economy?
Then you meet him, and soon you realize: You’re doomed.Bookmarked by MalvaLava

Summary
After decades spent trying to survive the weight of his past, Bucky believes he is finally learning how to inhabit an ordinary life, or something close to it. Now a congressman, with a routine made up of meetings, speeches, votes, and sleepless nights, he tries to reconcile the public figure the world sees with the man who still does not quite know how to exist outside of a war.
Everything changes when a fire takes the life of Rebecca Barnes’s granddaughter and her husband, leaving behind only Rikki Barnes: a frightened, stubborn seven-year-old girl with eyes far too familiar. Bucky, who has spent years avoiding the last remaining ties to his family out of guilt and shame over what he became as the Winter Soldier, discovers that he is the only living relative able to take her in.

“Clint, he’s going to hear you.”
“Let him. He’s a fucking creep.”
Steve Rogers is the first person in five hundred years to treat Bucky Barnes gently. He wasn't born violent or filled with hate. He's touch starved, misunderstood, and completely alone. That is, until the Captain teaches him how to stay.

Summary
Bucky Barnes was trying his best. Trying to live a quiet life, keep his head down, stay on Valentina's good side, and maybe just enjoy a cup of coffee every once and a while. It just never seemed to be that easy, and he never seemed to be able to relax.
Except when he went to that one coffee shop, tucked away from the busy streets and overpriced just enough so it stayed quiet. Although, he didn't mind hearing your voice from behind the counter making his order.
