Summary
“Sit down.” Sam barks. It sounds like an order and he doesn't give a fuck what that will do to Bucky’s psyche.
Bucky complies. He sits stiff on the end of the bed, staring at the floor, shoulders hunched, and hands clasped in his lap. His chest heaves erratically.
Sam drags a hand down his face. It comes away wet. He takes a controlled breath in, and out, fighting a wave of nausea. He feels torn up inside, like he's been slashed open and hollowed out.
--
Sam loves Bucky and he's never going to forgive him for this.

Summary
“Did you miss the future?” Me, he doesn’t say. Hopes it’s implied anyway.
“No,” Steve says easily, putting down his newspaper on the table. “Not as much as I thought I would. I always felt like I...”
It takes too long for Bucky to recover the breath that caught in his lungs somewhere between that fateful no and when Steve stopped talking. Right. Steve stopped talking.
“Felt like what?” Bucky prompts. He wonders, vaguely, if Steve noticed the crack in his voice.
“Like I didn’t belong.”
I don’t belong.
“Like I was living a life that wasn’t meant for me.”
But I thought maybe...
“That wasn’t mine.”
I thought I belonged with you.
Or
Bucky reflects on his final days with Steve, tries to text Sam back, uses Google way too much, and has a very, very long day.

Summary
The one and only occasion Bucky was in the same room as the Mona Lisa, it was encased in glass behind what he imagines were velvet ropes. There’s far less between ourselves and oblivion—skin that often defeats its very purpose. Or maybe its purpose isn’t protection at all, but rather to provide a place, similar to a doctor’s waiting room, in which to sit until our names are called.
Or,
Bucky Barnes, pink dresses and the Carters of the world.

Summary
‘Well, isn’t this just great.’ Bucky thought, flames licking at his skin as he made a sprint for an exit, any exit. But, of course, as his everlasting luck would have it, the fire was all encompassing and had already overtaken the doors.
‘Fuck.’
Sure, he could have done a few things differently. Maybe crossed some T’s and dotted a few I’s a bit sooner than he had, or, you know, spoken more than two words to Sam and kept him in the loop for once. Instead of doing what he always did, which was shot gunning himself into trouble, again.
Fuck, Sam.
**Bucky and Sam must work together to figure out why Hydra is suddenly gunning for the New Captain America. Is everything what it seems? Or is there something more dangerous at play?

Summary
For Bucky Barnes, choosing to run his term out and join the New Avengers was an easy choice to make.
For Melissa Gold, choosing to put de Fontaine behind her and ally herself with the new team was also an easy choice to make.
But the world they both live in now exists in shades of gray. And many other decisions aren't that simple.
