Bucky’d never wanted to admit that he only felt alive when Steve was touching him as though sculpting him from clay. Some days, Bucky wished that Steve could—wanted to encase himself in some viscous substance just so Steve could recover him with his hands, guide his true shape into form. So he could become manifest by way of artistic vision.

(In Wakanda, Bucky tries to find himself. Steve tries to find him, too.)

Steve snorts, helplessly charmed. “Harold like your gang boss uncle Harold?”

“A gentleman does not name his goats and tell,” Bucky says solemnly, but he leans a little more firmly against Steve’s side, and there are crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes when he smiles.

He’s the best thing Steve has ever seen.

Not the first time Steve came home to Bucky and not the last.

“We’re alive in defiance of the law, now,” Natasha said bitterly.

“Well,” Steve said, and pushed his plate away. “We’ll just have to break in and get them.”

“Right, let’s take it from the top,” Natasha said wearily. “The Raft is a fully submersible supermax prison—“

“We can do it,” Steve said.

Perchance to Wake by eyres (complete | 6,418 | T )

Seven months after the end of Civil War, Bucky gets to be the one to save Steve and both of them find their way home. With some help from their friends.

T’Challa gives Bucky a jet when he leaves to go find Steve. “Do not break this,” he says, like Bucky is a child. “It is worth more than your arm.”

Screaming Words (Left Unspoken) by L1av (complete | 41,600 | E )

Living as a fugitive is hard. Living as a man who has to wake the love of his life from cryo is harder. Why? The codes in Bucky’s brain don’t have a fix yet, but Steve has worse news to deliver. Bucky’s dying slowly from self-destruct protocols inside him. Now, it’s a race against time to save Bucky once and for all.

And maybe finally tell Bucky that Steve’s been in love with him since he was a sixteen-year-old kid in Brooklyn. Oh and not get extradited by the UN from Wakanda. That’d also be great.

Such Bitter Refuge by hitlikehammers (complete | 2,989 | T ) 

When he was young, he used to dream. All the time. Used to remember his dreams, too.

But then came war. And ice. And the nightmares were waking, and the timeless vacuum was silent. No breath in his lungs, only wisps of oxygen to his brain. Pure, improbable stasis: there were no dreams.

This, though. This is different. This is beautiful, and peaceful, and there’s Steve, and—

This won’t last.

But then: the first step never does.

It’s Waiting There for You by amethystkrystal (complete | 3,228 | E ) 

“Shuri, me and Steve… we’re not –”
“Could have fooled me.” She shook her head, muttering under her breath in Wakandan as she connected a series of wires in his arm. “My brother offered him the nicest guest suite in the palace and you know where he decided to stay instead?” She pointed an accusing finger at him. “In your hut. That has one bed.”

Steve visits Wakanda and Bucky decides he’s done being afraid of his feelings.

“So you got these safe houses scattered all over Russia?” Steve jokes into the soft hair over Bucky’s temple, not pulling away, “Or did we just get lucky?”

Bucky shakes his head and then replies, “Got myself a few. It’s been a long two years.”

“Yeah pal,” Steve nods, burrowing further, “I hear that.”

The Spotless by BetteNoire (WeAreWolves) (complete | 5,640 | T ) 

Steve, the face on the screen said, dropping its gaze. I wanted to say first of all, thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I’ve had a lot of time to think here in Wakanda, and… A sigh, seventy years of weariness in one breath.

Then he looks up again. I wasn’t worth it.

Bucky chooses to fix himself. And Steve realises he’s nearly lost Bucky again, because he’s been too busy being Captain America to be a friend.
