Summary
The Winter Soldier thrashed, drowning. It was taking forever. His mask seemed to be stuck. He pulled on it, struggling to draw breath, sinking and resurfacing, clawing at his face, the panic in his eyes terrible.
Steve's would-be killer. The very worst HYDRA had ever conjured. A symbol of death and everything he stood against. And Steve just couldn't bear it. He was ready to go, but this guy clearly wasn't.
----------------------------------------
The premise: the Winter Soldier's mask doesn't come off quite as easily. Meaning, Steve never saw Bucky's face, and he didn't hold back during the fight on the Helicarrier. This is where the story picks up and is no longer canon-compliant. Though, I've stolen some ideas from the sequels and deliberately contradicted some future plot points/established canon.COMPLETED

Summary
Even now there was still some small part of him that always scanned a crowd for him—some small part of him that always fluttered with hope when he saw someone who might be the right height, or whose hair might be the right color. Some small part of him that hoped they’d see each other again. Some small part of him that still wanted their stolen time back.
---
Captain America's identity was supposed to be a secret, until suddenly it wasn't. Now too famous for special ops in Afghanistan, Steve Rogers is stuck riding a desk at SHIELD's public affairs office and counting down the days till he can turn in his dog tags and leave the sleaze of Washington D.C. behind once and for all.
His childhood best friend, Bucky Barnes, is a wounded vet trying to adjust to civilian life after a military career he can't talk about. Even though it's been almost 20 years since they've seen each other, it feels like nothing's changed.
Except that everything has.

Summary
It all ran together. Maybe it had been running together for a long time. He kind of lost track of it after a while; he had a little tablet in his room that would show him a calendar, some news, the weather. He didn't even look at the calendar, though. Calendars were for people who had something to expect, some event in their future to look forward to. Either he'd forgotten what that was like, or he'd never known in the first place.
There had been a moment, in the water with Steve -- the first time or the second, he wasn't sure -- where his wet gear and Steve's dead weight had dragged them both down. They had rested together in the swirling silt at the bottom of the river, and Bucky had looked up through the water and the falling debris and seen the hazy light of the sky shining through.
It had been strange. Everything happening around them, but this moment of silence and stillness. Sometimes the feeling Bucky had now reminded him of that.

The worst thing isn't the memories filtering back. It's the fact that they always get him hard.

The Winter Soldier doesn't remember Steve Rogers, but he needs Rogers' help.
OR: The one where Bucky doesn't remember Steve, but falls in love with him anyway.
