Summary
The Winter Soldier, a traumatized Sergeant Bucky Barnes, a broken hearted Captain America and a cute female nurse are the main characters of this fluff orientated story!
Bucky suffers from PTSD and has severe split personality disorder.
He has to learn to deal with a de-aging Winter Soldier camping in the backroom of his brain.
This story alternates POVs, it's mainly Bucky, a lot of the Winter Soldier, but also Female Reader and Steve.
At some point we will cross paths with an adorable Bruce Banner and way later, with an orphan Peter Parker.
I've tried and kept intimacy/smut scenes to realistic and light, as they are not the center of the story.
This story is not canon, but I feel like it would fit after the Winter Soldier, Steve would have found Bucky and they'd live together at the tower.The WInter Soldier dialogs are in bold, inner dialogs in italics and bold, inner dialogs of Bucky in italics.

30 Jun 2026
Summary
A collection of stories with James "Bucky" Barnes (Marvel Universe) as a main character.
I guess I just really like writing that character!
Some stories are short, some are longer, some are real weird, some are real sweet, and most of them are non canon-compliant.- Words:

He shares an apartment with Natasha, goes to the VA once a week, and one of these days he’s going to get up the courage to get a goddamn tattoo.
Enter Steve Rogers: 5’4’’ scrappy body artist from Brooklyn who’s got more tattoos than common sense and the prettiest eyes Bucky’s ever seen.

Summary
Steve left in 2023. It’s 2027 now and Bucky is getting by pretty well. He has a job. He has an apartment. He has a house. He has a cat. He was a car. What more could he want? He wants his best friend Steve Rogers back, that’s what.
When Steve Rogers appears out of nowhere four years after leaving, Bucky can’t believe it. He wants to believe it, he wants to so badly. And slowly, overtime, he does. Because not only is this the real Steve Rogers, it’s the same Steve Rogers that he fell in love with back in 1932.
