Memories come to Bucky all the time. Usually, they're odd tidbits from his life, trivial moments that make him chuckle - Steve not knowing when to call it quits, dancing with pretty girls and trips to Coney Island. And sometimes they hit him like a freight train. That's what happens when he wakes up at 2am to the memory of his mother's famous cinnamon and apple cake. More specifically, it's a memory of her teaching his younger sister how to make it whilst he read at the kitchen table. It's clear as day, his subconscious stored away the whole recipe and before he knows it, his feet are carrying him to the compound kitchen. One cake later, Bucky cleans up the kitchen as the sunrises, slinking back to bed with a slice for breakfast. It soon becomes a habit, baking in the dead of night... alone. And then he piques the curiosity of agent in training, Margot. RELUCTANT FRIENDS TO LOVERS | GRUMPY/SUNSHINE NON-CANON MCU POST-CIVIL WAR BUCKY INSPIRED BY MY ONE-SHOT 'SOFT CENTRED'

Somehow, you find yourself in the Avengers Compound. There, you meet a beautiful man, with bright blue eyes, and a metal arm. ---------------------------------------------- "So there's a reason she was here, trying to talk to you. She -" "She isn't the one I've been thinking about for the last two months." "M-months?" "Ever since you caught my knife, doll." He winked. Now he was right in front of you. "Maybe we shouldn't do this." You said shakily, captivated by the way he was looking down at you. "I don't want to get in the middle of anything." "Then why haven't you walked away yet?" He whispered. ---------------------------------------------- #1 in buckybarnesxoriginalcharacter #1 in avengersteam #4 in jamesbuchananbarnes #1 in jamesbarnesxoc #1 in deafclintbarton #6 in marvelimagines #1 in buckybarnessmut #2 in jamesbarnes #1 in buckybarnes #1 in buckybarnesxoc #1 in avengers

Perihelion (noun: /ˌper.ɪˈhiː.li.ən/) The point in the orbit of a planet, asteroid, or comet at which it is closest to the sun. Bucky Barnes left the army three years ago on medical discharge and he's still struggling to move on. He puts on a brave face and throws himself into the business he runs with his best friends Steve and Sam. He may be fooling some, but his friends can see right through it. He's fine. And no attempt from them to persuade him to step out of his comfort zone of work and home, and maybe put himself out there, is going to sway him. Then he meets Ava at Cosmic Coffee, her tiny coffee shop, one he walks past every day but never enters until the day everything seems to direct him inside. They get talking and it turns out they're both in need of something the other can offer. It seems too easy as a deal is made over coffee and a Fleetwood Mac record but Bucky might just end up getting more than he bargained for. Modern AU (SugarDaddy!Bucky)

After breaking free of his HYDRA programming, James 'Bucky' Barnes finds the world is very different from the one he left behind. With the help of friends and a therapist who is constantly pestering him, Bucky is given a pardon for his past crimes but as a condition of his parole, he needs to have a partner with him at all times. The only problem is that his new partner is an absolute disaster. Elena Constantin is a nightmare of a human being in Bucky's opinion. Too hostile, too brash, and certified bat shit crazy not to mention she has a bad habit of stealing his socks, making out with strange women, and turning every assignment into a fight for survival. Much to his annoyance though, she's the only person on the team who's not afraid of the parts of The Winter Soldier still lurking inside him. Somehow Elena knew before everyone else that HYDRA was a devil with the power to control a master assassin and they've met before. As Bucky untangles the thread binding their lives together he finds that trying to live a normal life is way harder than any mission.
