Summary:
Bucky knew that Steve was...different.
None of that mattered, though. Steve was his best friend. He couldn’t imagine life without him. In a year or so, Steve would find a nice girl and settle down, and all of this would be forgotten. Steve wasn’t a fairy. It’d just been so long since he’d had a date - these damn girls in New York don’t recognize a good thing when it’s staring them in the face - that he’d given up hope of finding a girl. Bucky would fix that.
awrenawry wrote an exquisite Nat POV fic about her interactions with the Soldier and creating a life beyond the Red Room and HYDRA.

Summary:
The Winter Soldier’s mask never falls off when he fights Captain America on the overpass and the helicarrier. That doesn’t stop the Soldier from recognizing Captain America and wondering why the man’s face is haunting his scattered memories.
After HYDRA falls, the Soldier appoints himself three missions: figure out his connection to Captain America, develop an optimal self-care routine, and re-establish his own identity in a world where he isn’t at HYDRA’s beck and call. When he unexpectedly encounters Captain America and his team of Avengers, he must figure out how to honor the man he used to be without sacrificing the man he’s become, all while hiding the face he shares with James Buchanan Barnes.
Written for the Captain American Reverse Big Bang 2019. Cross-fill for Stucky Bingo 2019, square: “identity porn.”
