"Ready to comply."
Sgt. James Bucky Barnes was Steve Rogers' best friend. On the schoolyard, and on the battlefield.
But since Bucky lost his arm, since HYDRA took him in and turned him into the Winter Soldier...
Sometimes memories fade away.
**My take on what Bucky's time in Hydra was like - alternating between FLASHBACKS of growing up in New York with Steve
(a few of the characters are mine, but obviously Marvel owns the vast majority - this is just for fun! (and/or sobs))

The White Queen (S.Rogers)
Born and raised in HYDRA, all Brooklyn has ever known has been her father, and her mission. But when SHIELD falls, taking HYDRA with it, she must learn to live on the outside. Just as she begins to relax, and think that she might be free from the fight forever, her father's past finds her and draws her in. "You are mine." she whispered, trying the words out. "You belong to me." She frowned. It sounded right, but something was still off about it. Like it wasn't enough. As if there was more that she needed to say, to make it true. He cleared his throat, and she looked up. Rogers had a soft smile on his face, and his eyes were bright, so bright. "I am yours, huh?" he asked, his voice gravely. "Does that mean that you are mine?"Complete
Holding On | Bucky Barnes
It's been two months since Y/N returned to the Compound, but despite her best efforts, she can't seem to escape her trauma. Nightmares haunt her at night, while memories stalk her during the day; a never-ending cycle that she hopes she can smile her way through. She finds distraction in her busy schedule and a few quiet moments in-between, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget. And now that the world knows who she is, she likely never will. Some see her as a hero, others see her as a weapon. Y/N doesn't know which to believe-especially with the little control she feels she has over her life anymore. The journey to recovery is never easy, but Y/N thinks it may be impossible. *** [Part 2 of Reaching Out] [Bucky Barnes X Reader] [1st person POV] MAIN THEMES FROM PART 1: Y/N with powers, moving in with the Avengers, Bucky+Y/N romance, quick-burn, drama and trauma (of course), fluff on fluff on fluff. NOTES: Follows a timeline where Hydra is still active after 2014 (CA:WS), Avengers didn't break up after Civil War, and takes place ~one year after Bucky's return from Wakanda.Complete
Dead without you ~ stucky
"Who's Bucky?" Asking him that question sparks a memory. I asked him that before. We were fighting on that bridge. He called me Bucky when he saw my face for the first time and I remember feeling utterly lost because of it. "You are," he groans, hanging on by the skin of his teeth. He tries to lift his hand, but it falls back onto the mud as he still lacks strength. "I'm Bucky?" Again, the name stirs a sense of deep familiarity, but I have no idea what it means. Hydra never called me anything but soldier. "Yes, you're Bucky and I'm Steve. We're friends. Old friends - close friends." ********** Set at the ending of the movie the Winter Soldier. After Bucky drags Steve onto the shore and saves his life, Bucky wants to get away from it all. Steve has different plans though. Original story: Morgana & VigoDC Edited by VigoDCComplete

𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒔| 18+ {Bucky Barnes}
{Formerly named Țuică} If you asked Dr. Aurora "Rori" Harris whether she was your average psychologist, she'd probably laugh and say, "Absolutely yes!" She worked long hours, carried her patients' burdens home with her most nights, and went above and beyond for anyone she cared about. That was just who she was. But the truth? Rori was far from average. She had a particular set of gifts-skills that even she didn't fully understand. Skills that would make her indispensable when Sam Wilson and Captain America came calling, asking her to track down Steve's childhood friend, James Buchanan Barnes... aka Bucky, the Winter Soldier. She can't say no. She wants to help. But as she dives deeper into the shadows of Bucky's fractured world, one question hangs over her: Will she keep her promise to Steve and Sam? Will she reveal Bucky's location, or will she find herself dangerously drawn to the broken man behind the legend?Complete
