After assembling their own Infinity Gauntlet, the Avengers defeated Thanos and brought back everyone who disappeared. But their victory came at a great cost: in order to take the Soul Stone, Steve had to sacrifice the Captain America mantle and all the super-soldier strength that came with it.
Small and sickly again, Steve’s poor health soon reaches a breaking point and his last option is a difficult surgery only Shuri and her team can perform.
But not all hurts can be fixed with medicine, and the real healing begins after the operation -- when Bucky asks Steve to stay in Wakanda with him.

The man blows out a breath. It's a surprisingly prosaic noise. "Let's start over," he decides. "I'm Bucky." He wraps Percy's leash around his left hand, leans down, and holds out his right. Steve takes it. It's warm and calloused, the skin a little rough. "Bucky Barnes." He tugs at Steve's hand and Steve lets himself be helped to his feet.
"Steve Rogers," Steve says. "What the fuck?"
Bucky laughs.
Steve has to make himself let go of Bucky's hand after what he hopes is a normal amount of time, not a creeper amount of time. Bucky's laugh is really nice. He thinks he'd like to hear it again. But first, there's the matter of the gryphon.
*****
In which Steve Rogers stumbles across the Barnes Exotic Animal Rescue for Magical Creatures, meets a witch named Bucky, accidentally adopts a unicorn, and never wants to leave.

Sam opens his mouth but is cut off by Steve’s phone buzzing and then omitting The Sound.
It’s one of those pre-installed ringtones nobody actually uses, and Sam looked, all right, he opened the settings and looked and it’s called Instant Calm.
Now, the funny thing is that whenever this music starts to play, Steve is instantly as calm as a roaring bull about to impale the matador dumb enough to wag a red cape in front of its nose.

Or: What if Steve found Bucky before the bombing in Vienna?

“It’s dumb,” Steve shakes his head. “People are stupid for turning this place away as quickly as they did in the past. S’been through a lot of owners.”
That piques Sam’s interest even more. His eyebrows lift and he looks around. “Someone die here or something?”
“Actually,” Steve murmurs, pulling the sleeves of his sweatshirt down over his hands. He takes in the apartment before him with a nervous smile. “Legend says it’s haunted.”

When a hot-shot New York lawyer gets stranded in a sleepy, New England town because of a snow storm right before Christmas, he thinks it might just be the worst thing that’s ever happened to him. Then, he meets a handsome, bearded stranger in a local bar, who slowly but surely teaches him the true meaning of Christmas is finding love where you least expect it.
Disclaimer: we have deliberately tried to incorporate as many clichéd and cheesy romantic Hallmark-esque movie tropes into this fic, just because if you can’t do it at Christmas, when can you, eh?

Bucky maybe has a thing for Santa Claus so he's not really surprised when Becca calls him and tells him to get to the mall right now because she's just seen the hottest mall Santa ever and Bucky really needs to come check him out.

The holidays were coming up. And that meant the chill of winter was drifting over the city. Bucky was just as lonely as ever when he thought that he might try that ‘cuffing’ thing people do for the season. He didn’t get out much besides his boring office job so, his sights were set on his handsome co-worker Steve.
Or: They make a cuffing agreement from right before Thanksgiving to right before Valentine’s. Steve is a big uncertain babe with a penchant for working out and new attempts to learn to be himself. Bucky is a small but passionate guy who embraces his femininity and is proud of who he is. Also, Bucky has a cat who hides a lot.
(Part of the Stucky AU Big Bang 2018 -- Accompanied with art by FannishLove and Lisa Mott.)

Bucky had a bet with his sister that if he didn’t have a boyfriend to bring home for Christmas by the time he was 25, he had to give her $200 and go blonde for a year. But now he's 25, it’s nearing December, and not only is Bucky as single as ever, but he’s also running low on cash. He doesn’t exactly want to bleach his hair, either.
At least Steve is willing to upgrade their relationship from best friends to fake boyfriends.

“Steve Rogers. I haven’t thought about him in…God, at least ten years. Probably longer." “Who is he?” Sharon asks, and perches on the corner of his desk, hands folded in her lap. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Bucky clears his throat, tosses the sticky note onto the desk. “Steve was…my college boyfriend. We almost got married.”
It's been fifteen years since Bucky Barnes left Steve Rogers standing in a New York airport and never saw him again. Those fifteen years have brought him wealth and stability; everything his lower middle class Brooklyn upbringing had not provided. He is happy. He doesn't want for anything. He doesn't need anything. That's about to change.

Suddenly 'soft' and 'dark' and 'lush' were no longer adjectives fit to be tied to just his Douglas Fir, because the man from the ladder was approaching him, a shy smile on his flawless face, and Steve was totally gone.
...
Steve purchases an outrageous number of Christmas trees and accidentally creates a tiny apartment forest, all because he needs an excuse to visit adorably shy tree farmer Bucky Barnes. Lots of fluff and Christmas feels abound! <3

Bucky smiled and shrugged. “People deserve to have the things that make them happy, especially plants.” You make me happy, Steve thought. “And what about you?” He blurted. “Do you have the things that make you happy?”
Bucky Barnes is the heart of Barnes Blooms, a flower and plant shop. He’s gentle and kind and smiles at Steve in a way that makes Barnes Blooms feel like home, so of course Steve keeps finding excuses to visit the little shop. But Bucky has his own secrets and Steve, recently de-iced and awake in a new century, has his own fight to win.

Steve is an orphan training as a scribe in a town on the edge of a magical forest. He doesn’t know why Lord Pierce thinks he can obtain an antler from one of the magical deer that live in the forest, but Pierce offers to pay off all of his debts if he does. Bucky is a ranger, one of a long line of a family who specializes in bringing back rare, dangerous, and magical things out of the forest to sell to the wider world. He won’t let his best friend travel alone through a place with so many dangers.
But when Steve and Bucky spend the first night in the woods, Steve wakes up a foot taller, a lot heavier, healthier than he’s ever been, and gently glowing in the night. As they get further into the forest, Steve wants to solve the mystery of who he is as well as find what Pierce wants. Bucky just wants to protect the friend he’s always had feelings for.
When they come across family Steve didn’t know he had; to keep them from throwing Bucky into the deep woods by himself, Steve has to pretend he and Bucky are in a relationship. What Pierce wants conflicts with what Steve’s family wants, and somehow, Steve has to reconcile his old world and his new—and the conflicting feelings he has for his best friend.

It’s called the Grey Space; a patch of skin marking you as blessed and the first sign you have a soulmate. Steve Rogers didn’t have one when he crashed into the ice. But he did when he woke up in the future. The second sign is the Sense, a sharing of one the senses to help soulmates find each other. Steve’s Sense, taste, is rare, but he loves a challenge and a soulmate is a gift from the Fates. Except instead of a blessing, it’s a curse, since his soulmate is a dick. Bucky Barnes loves food and a homecooked meal is something he cherishes. When his Grey Space starts to itch, Bucky can’t help his excitement, since the Sense he and his soulmate share is taste. But not for long. Whoever he’s bound to has the blandest diet in the world, ignoring all Bucky’s messages. After weeks of putting up with tasteless food, Bucky decides to strike back. WARNING: This story contains spicy food, the world’s smelliest fish, Steve sucking on socks, sexy selfies, lube bombs, the Furnadoes, trouble-making grandparents and Sam not being paid enough. It also contains hot-chocolate, love between brothers, realizing found family is as vital as the one you were born with, and lots of laughter as Steve and Bucky find their happy ending.

Bucky doesn't consider his Steve Rogers problem as a problem so much as the solution he hadn't realized he was hoping for to help him through the transition from the Bucky Barnes he'd been before his accident to the new, shiny version of himself.
No, the problem isn't with Captain America and The Howling Commandos fandom.
The problem is the amount of porn Bucky managed to write and draw about Captain America before finding out that he's less than one degree of separation away from Steve Rogers. 'Less than' as in he's sitting across the table from him.
