Bucky Barnes-Centric or Winter Soldier-Centric Fics

[areazel.livejournal.com]

Hello! I hope I am doing this right!

I know there are a bunch of Bucky/Winter Soldier slash fics out there, so many of them, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of fics that are more focused on Bucky or the Winter Soldier. I would be eternally grateful!

I wasn't exactly sure what you're looking for, so here's a variety of Bucky-centric. Gen unless stated otherwise.
Prisoner (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1815571)- The Winter Soldier is taken care of by new handlers. Post-Winter Soldier

Leave the Sinking Ship Behind (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1473292)- Winter Soldier/Bucky wakes up before the events of The Avengers.

Parameters (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1712105)- Bucky doesn't feel human anymore. So he bonds with the other non-human intelligences in the Avengers Tower.

By Choice or By Habit (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1587074)- He is useful. He holds onto that. He is useful and a useful tool will not be thrown away. Bucky realizing the Avengers actually think of him as a person.

I Was Found and Now I Don't Roam These Streets (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1581335)- Bucky relearns himself and how to be on a team, the rest of the Avengers try to get answers, and everyone watches too much Criminal Minds. (This's cute, but Steve/Bucky)

The Dawn of the Last Great Day (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1074199)- The Winter Soldier has a mission: kill Captain America.

Jesus, Take the Wheel (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1647212)- The Winter Soldier is the one with the mission. Bucky’s just along for the ride. Until he isn’t. (This one's a bit slashy in the second chapter, but if you don't like that, the first chapter is great on its own.)

Well, that was longer than I expected. Hope at least one of these is to your liking :)

I'm not entirely sure what you want either, but I have some non-slash Bucky recs:

All of Sholio's (http://archiveofourown.org/users/Sholio/pseuds/Sholio) post-CA:TWS stuff is gen.

Brothers in Arms (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1699244/) by Copperbadge (11k words)
Cute Bucky-and-bots interactions.

Clint Barton’s Home for Wayward Mind Wiped Assassins (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1591106) by roguewrld (6k words)
Nice outsider POV.
“Where ever you were, whatever you did and whoever you did it for, it’s over. You need to pretend to be a person now, okay?”

Uphill Both Ways in 5 Feet of Snow (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1620125) by palavapeite (10k words)
This is sort of a canon AU (with not-exactly-evil!alive!Sitwell) post-CA:TWS.
Also known as: "The One where Bucky and Sitwell somehow become BFFs."

Medvezhonok (http://archiveofourown.org/works/520028/) by lanyon (18k words)
Surprisingly cute kid!fic (lanyon has it tagged as 'murderfluff'). Written pre-CA:TWS
The Winter Soldier is on the run and no one is more surprised than he is by the fact that he is accompanied by a little boy who seems convinced that he is his father

Беда́ не прихо́дит одна́ (trouble never comes alone) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/557856) by postcardmystery (10k words)
Snippets of the Winter Solider through the decades. Written pre-CA:TWS.
he slings his rifle on his back, breathes smoke, knows what it is to watch history being made.

Here are two I liked quite a lot:
Hard Landing (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1459480) by domarzione, a missing scene fic set right after he pulls Steve to shore. Gen

I don't think you specifically requested gen-only, so here is one good Bucky/Steve fic with focus on Bucky that you might also like
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1752743 (http://Codename Captain America) by fannishliss

and one self-rec, though please read the warnings.
How They Make You a Weapon (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1621463) The process by which Hydra turns Bucky into the Winter Soldier. (Gen, WIP, 16K so far, at least 2 more chapters coming)

Bucky And Mister Rogers by impertinence
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1509278
Bucky accidentally becomes a surrogate brother to half the neighborhood, purely via the power of PBS.

I was going to rec more, but everything else I have bookmarked has already been rec'd! Brothers in Arms, Clint Barton's Home for Wayward Mind wiped Assassins, and a bunch by Sholio.
