Summary
Consider this: what if Essek had, too, suffered at the hands of Ikithon?
What could have possibly caused the sudden shift in his reaction to Ikithon, from nonchalant curiosity towards the rest of the Cerberus Assembly to visceral fear and avoidance of Trent Ikithon, specifically and at any cost?
A study in Essek’s reaction to coming face-to-face with Ikithon, in a hypothetic world where Trent had experimented on him as well and modified his memories. Set in the future (post-Eiselcross arc), non canon-compliant.

Summary
While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.
Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.

Summary
Clint didn’t mean to kiss the Winter Soldier only days after being rescued from the Raft. He didn’t mean to trip his way into a time machine in the lab in Wakanda. He definitely, 100%, didn’t mean to spawn three alternate realities for his dumbass self to fumble through saving.
Now if only he can stop telling everyone he meets he’s from the future, rescue his loved ones from their tragic backstories, and get all three versions of James to like him as much as he likes them, he might have a chance to make this whole thing work out.

Summary
A year after the Winter Soldier failed his mission in DC, Bucky Barnes is doing his best to stay under the radar from both Hydra and Steve Rogers. His hope for a peaceful day-to-day life in limbo goes awry, however, when he meets Queens’ newest hero; a pure-hearted kid with a death wish and a ridiculous pair of red and blue pajamas.
The last thing Steve expects when he finally tracks Bucky down is that, not only has the man been living in Queens all this time, right under his nose, but also that, in the two years since they last saw each other, Bucky somehow acquired a kid.
Alternatively: How Peter Parker effectively fucks over Bucky Barnes, and also totally saves him.

Bookmarker's Notes
A favorite of all time, to re-read again and again. I forgot I had already read it and realized about a third in, and then enjoyed every bit of it all over again.

Summary
Steve pulled out his phone, letting himself engage in his favourite hobby: shame-googling his problems. He had developed something of an addiction to so-called “mommy blogs” over the past couple of months. Every time he went down this rabbit-hole, he felt worse and worse about himself. The blogs were mostly cloying descriptions of perfect families, with just enough judgement of any differing choices and ‘non-traditional families’ to ensure that Steve always felt worse about himself at the end of a session than he had at the start. And yet, he couldn’t help himself.
He scrolled through the results until he stumbled upon a blog page from a self-proclaimed “SuperManny”.Steve Rogers was a single dad, perpetually tired and ready to break out of the rut he was living in.
Bucky Barnes was a successful small-business owner, living alone with his cat and ignoring the empty space in his life.
