Very much seconding the recs of "This, You Protect" (and the whole series it's part of; possibly my very favorite Bucky-centric fic) and "Ain't No Grave (Can Keep My Body Down".
Also, I recommend the an endlessly upward world (http://archiveofourown.org/series/332230) series by kaydeefalls. The first story is focused on Bucky figuring out who he is post-CATWS on his own, while the second gives weight to both Bucky's recovery and Steve dealing with his many, many issues. Steve/Bucky, lots of angst but not utterly bleak.
Another post-CATWS fic I adore is Reconstruction Site (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1439917) by Emilianadarling and its sequel.
For some Bucky-centric fics dealing directly with the events of Civil War, I really liked Peaceable Skills (http://archiveofourown.org/series/332230) by Dira Sudis, Things to Remember (http://archiveofourown.org/works/6865183) by monicawoe, and The Last Supper (http://archiveofourown.org/works/6867181) by Tenillypo. First two are gen, third is Steve/Bucky with smut.
I adore Half of the History (We Shall Never Know) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3464138) by Speranza, which features great development for Bucky both during the Howling Commando days and post-Winter Soldier, plus some bonus great moments for my fave ladies Peggy and Natasha. Steve/Bucky, Steve/Bucky/Peggy, and Steve/Bucky/Natasha.
Finally, for crack and a change from the Steve/Bucky that I normally read, the very silly yet sweet Bucky/Darcy Lewis I once started out to walk around the world but ended up in Brooklyn (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2026827/chapters/4397025) by suzukiblu.
