Basically, I'm hankering after a fic where Steve is kind to Bucky hugs/smiling/stroking his hair. Bucky can be recently back from Hydra or whatever, I don't mind. Explicit is welcome :)
Ha! I'm right in the middle of re-reading the perfect story for your request. Lauralot's series "Alexander Pierce should have died slower" can be found at AO3. In addition to having the assassin personality, Bucky has been trained by Pierce to be Daddy's boy, with children's toy, punishment, and sex. After Pierce's death, Bucky needs a new Daddy, but is confused when Steve doesn't allow him to...um, pleasure him, to put it mildly. Steve is very touchy-feely, very happy to have his best friend back, no matter the state he's in.
This has a bittersweet ending, so be warned. But the hug/smile/hair-stroking (not to mention hand-holding and kissing, chaste and otherwise) levels are through the roof. These Days by themantlingdark (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2326517/chapters/5124740)
If you don't happen to be in the mood for a good cry, the end of Chapter 10 is a decent stopping point.
