Summary
He found it after a job. Or… He thinks he found it. Trekking through the fauna, covered head to toe in muck and mud.
"What the fuck." Was Bucky's first response, because he honestly didn't know what to make of it.

Summary
At the time, he thought nothing of it. Wiped it off on his jeans, shoved his fist deep in his pocket, and moved on.
Now, in the Smithsonian, staring up into the painted face and display upon display of Captain Steven Rogers, his mind kept… drifting back to it. The red that covered the metal plating.

[Walk] by WillowedSpirits

Summary
Redwing stayed above him, hovering just out of arm's reach as he pulled himself up to his feet (smart), before darting off through the trees.
"Yeah." He sighed. "Walk it off, Barnes. March."
So Bucky headed north. Following the stupid drone.

Summary
So he lay there, a dark splatter of red in this empty valley of snow and ice. Waiting for extraction, as the cold threatened to swallow him whole.
They'd find him. They always found him. Their asset. Eventually.
Except this time was different.
What found him was not Hydra. Wasn't human.

Summary
"I don't want to hurt anyone."
"You wouldn't," Steve said automatically, and looked like he actually believed it.
Bucky pushed down the spike of anger that phrase brought. The implication of it. "I already have."
Steve didn't waver, "It wasn't you."
"Steve." He didn't want to have this conversation again. He knew. He knew already. "It was me. All of it."

As irritating as it was, the true catalyst for Bucky’s amends, the small pebble that tumbled down the mountain into a rockslide, was Helmut fuckin’ Zemo.

Summary
He was alone. For the first time in… The Soldier couldn't remember, but it felt like a long, long time.
He's been feeling a lot of things ever since the Helicarrier crashed into the Potomac. Including an odd sense of relief, because Steve Rogers was still alive.

Summary
It was honestly just a poor choice of words.
On any other day, Bucky didn't think he would have cared. Could have brushed it off as a joke and moved on with his day.
Unfortunately, today was not going to be a good day, no matter how he tried to spin it.

Summary
The hardest thing about coming back to the States was how uncomfortably familiar everything was. Stepping out of court and into the big city, where he knew these roads, these buildings, but something was wrong with them.
Flashes of memory from so long ago and a sense of deja vu following him wherever he went.

James Buchanan Barnes was an anomaly.
An unknown.
It was what the Winter Soldier was supposed to be — a ghost.

The first time Bucky realized it was a problem was in Wakanda.
Well, that’s not entirely true.
He knew that what everyone saw as a friendly gesture and basic human connection, the Soldier only knew punishment.

"How's it look?"
