Summary
Set between The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and CA:BNW/Thunderbolts, this story explores an ever expanding series of mishaps and shenanigans resulting from Sam asking Bucky out on a first date.
Is Bucky ready for said date?
No.
Is the Winter Soldier invited?
No.
Does he show up anyway?
Hell, yes!I'm many chapters ahead, pondering the mysteries of Bucky's mind, and the love a newly reawakened part of him has for Sam, who's struggling to maintain his optimism in the face of multiple kidnappings, abrupt protocol amendments, and unexpected interior decorating. Enjoy!

Summary
It's the 1940's, women live restricted, risking their lives everyday for the ongoing war. Jayna Rogers has survived for the past two and half decades with her best friend Bucky Barnes and younger brother Steve Rogers. Together they fight every battle until the two most important men in her life are swept away by drafts.
Jayna enlists and falls down a rabbit hole she cannot escape, thrust forward in time to present days. She has to adjust, and cope with trauma no one could even imagine. Maybe she'll find love and peace within herself and others, or maybe she'll rot until she can't take it anymore.

Summary
For as long as Sam can remember he's hated soulmates, especially his own and that was before he even figured out who it was.
A Sambucky soulmate AU where soulmates are connected through pain, whatever pain your soulmate feels you feel double. The story follows Sam in his journey to discover what it means to have a soulmate. (It mostly follows the events through the Falcon and the Winter Soldier show but the first few chapters is the setup for the events of the show - sorry I love a good back story)
TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of violence, self-harm, abuse and references to past non-consensual events. It's not the main part of the story but put the trigger warning in there just to be safe.

Summary
Mission {Project Insight} Directive
Terminate Captain America — Avengers Initiative
Status --- {Incomplete}The mission should have ended on the Helicarrier. The target should be dead. The Asset should have gone down with the wreckage, as ordered. But the target did not react as it should have. It did not beg, it did not fight back, and it spoke in ways that disrupted programming. The directive should have been simple. And yet, it was not.
Or: A inspired fic in which Winter confuses Steve as its handler following the failure of Project Insight
Features:
HeadCanon Timeline of 1940s - roughly 60s* Stucky
2017 Steve Rogers struggling with new life and now this "not" Bucky
Hydra Deprogramming through Reprogramming
Sam Wilson, exhausted veteran counselor, teaching a literal assassin about feelings
Natasha Romanoff, caught between past trauma and present concern
Winter Solider struggling to be human and also maintain order -- who the hell *is* Bucky?
Hydra Trash Party flashbacks, aka: bad times were had.
Way too much brooding
And a highly concerning amount of hospital parking lot loitering
CHAPTER 4 IS IN EDITING STAGE :3.

Summary
"You want Bucky." Loki says softly.
"Yea, I want to make sure he's safe. He's being accused of murder." Steve is genuinely confused with what's wrong with that.
"No Steven, you want Bucky. You want him more than you want me."
"Lo that's not true-"
"You keep calling out his name when we have sex." The trickster can't hide the tremble in his voice.
or Steve still has some feeling to work through when it comes to Bucky. All the while Loki's pain goes mostly unnoticed.

Because listen... I'm a sucker for the "grumpy ex-assassin falls for Tony's Starks daughter" trope, okay?Series

Summary
She thought her days of working in the shadows were over… until the Avengers came calling.
After years of keeping her head down and letting her work speak for itself, a former intelligence specialist is drawn into a new role inside the Avengers’ inner circle. Surrounded by legends, she must navigate unfamiliar territory, build trust, and find her place in a team that thrives on split‑second decisions and unshakable bonds.
But stepping into the spotlight—no matter how reluctantly—means facing challenges she never trained for and discovering that sometimes the hardest battles aren’t fought on the front lines.
A story of resilience, reluctant belonging, and the quiet strength that can change the course of a mission.

Summary
Takes place right after Sam lets us know that he’s wearing the wrong outfit for fleeing a crime scene. Or: After Selby got shot and they're leaving the bar in Madripoor.
Because nothing says 'low profile' like publicly brutalizing people as the Winter Soldier — and somehow, there are consequences. Imagine that.

Summary
“Not…exactly…” Pepper winced slightly, tugging a sheet of paper from her desk. “You two are still sort of public figures, even though you gave up the shield, Sam. Merris is diligent, and you two suddenly having wives that have never been seen before and taking them both on vacation? At the same time, same place? It’s suspicious. I need you two to be able to talk freely, investigate on the ground level, get into the nooks and crannies that I can’t. And you did promise you’d help, so…”
Sam finally looked down at the paper, eyes widening in alarm. It was a marriage certificate. His marriage certificate.
His and James Buchanan-fucking-Barnes’s marriage certificate.
--
Sam and Bucky agree to go on a mission for Pepper to retrieve stolen Stark tech. The only catch? The tech is hidden on a private island doubling as a vacation resort for married couples only. Guess what happens next. -

Summary
Faultline (noun)
A dividing line or point of tension between groups, ideas, or people-especially where hidden conflict or instability may erupt.· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·
Bucky Barnes thought Blaire Kessler was gone for good-- just another ghost he was glad to leave behind. But when she resurfaces to help the government they both once ran from, old grudges reignite fast. She's colder, sharper, and more dangerous than he remembers. He's furious she's back. And now they're stuck working together to stop a growing threat- without tearing each other apart.
Some history refuses to stay buried.
And some rivalries burn too bright to ignore.
