Summary
Somewhere in the multiverse, Pepper saves the world and pays the price. Tony lies in a coma, not expected to survive, and a grieving Steve Rogers is named as Morgan's legal guardian:
“Hey, Cap. You should probably have a seat for this one.” On the video, Tony took another sip of coffee. “You’re going to want to kill me. But sadly for you, if you’re watching this, things have gone wrong for my little family. Pepper and I are dead already. Vegetables. Whatever. You’ll have to hash out your feelings of impotent rage vis à vis me with your support group. Anyway, let me cut to the chase here: I’ve named you Morgan’s legal guardian. I’ll give you a second to pick your jaw up off the floor.”
Steve sank slowly to the bathroom tiles; Tony was right. He did need to sit down for this one.
“You over it? Good. Look, I should’ve asked you; Pepper thinks I did. And you know, I thought about it, but if I’d asked you, you might have said ‘no,’ and I couldn’t let you say ‘no,’ Cap. I just couldn’t. Pep and I don’t have a deep bench, okay? Our folks are dead, and when you’ve got no family, your options are limited. But you know that. And that is yet another reason I picked you.”

Summary
"Hey, come here," Steve says, pulling Bucky close enough to wrap his arms around his waist. Bucky sinks into him, forehead resting on the crown of Steve's head. "How can I help?"
He's not even thinking about it at first, about the way he helped before, but then Bucky breathes warm and heavy in Steve's hair and suddenly it's all he's thinking about—those little gasps Bucky had let out, and the way his skin had flushed pink while Steve brought him off.
Bucky's arms get a little tighter around him now, like maybe he's remembering too. And he must be, because then he says, "Could you… Stevie, would you mind? Like before?"
--
When Bucky needs him, Steve will be there. In any city, in any century, in every way that Bucky will have him.

Summary
They’ve decided to start producing Bucky Bears again, now that he’s all shiny and redeemed and fighting for good on this big Avengers misfits team. "He has a little shiny gray arm," Bucky says, wiggling the stuffed arm in question, one of the tweaks made in the new model. It takes Steve a second to realize that Bucky’s got a small smile on his face, actually looks a little bit proud around the eyes.
Or, 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.

Summary
The thing about Bucky these days is that, while he might be a semi-mythical assassin, he's also vulnerable—the kind of vulnerable that makes total strangers want to drape a blanket over his shoulders and take him to safety. The problem is, of course, that Bucky is already safe.
The first time it happens, Bucky has no idea how to react. He and Steve are walking down the street, when a slight woman takes in Bucky’s terrified eyes, the dark circles so bad they almost look like bruises, and Steve’s protective hand resting on his lower back, guiding him down the busy sidewalk (but it must look possessive, to someone looking for a sign), and comes to the wrong conclusion.

Summary
And just like that, Bucky Barnes’s political career is over.
Congress convenes, he resigns, and then he and the Thunderbolts – or the "New Avengers," they're calling themselves now – decide to grab some pizza. They saved the world from an ever-growing Void of fear and bad memories. They've earned a quiet day in together.
Then Sam Wilson shows up.
And Bucky just breaks.
