Summary
Bang!
Hunter stood, heart beating out of his chest. The rain lashed at the walls, drummed on the roof. It was the storm. He knew it was the storm.
Bang! Bang!
…but maybe he should check. Maybe he should just make sure. Make sure everything was fine. Make sure everything was in order, as it should be, in it’s proper place. Make sure there was no reason for anyone to be angry. But he knew it was just the storm, and-
Bang!Or, loud sudden noises were Not Safe in the castle. So when a stormy day sends the tree branches scraping against the house, Hunter's body reacts before the rest of him can. Luckily, he's got Flapjack and Willow.

Yelena Proved Herself by TheUnauthorizedAuthor

Summary
Life in Russia was so different than life in Ohio. In Ohio, Yelena had had people smiling at her. Here, they seem either cold as the snow outside or angry, angry in ways Dad had never gotten. Angry in ways the girls around her seem to expect. (When little Yelena has finished her first month, she too will have learned to anticipate the blows. But that is for another time).
****
Yelena is breathing heavier than she was when she was shot because she wasn’t useful. The mission is over and she’s in here and she made Bucky have to be in here and everyone else had to pick up her slack, she can’t afford to have any slack to pick up, she has to be useful and instead they had to take care of her like a liability. Liabilities do not get to survive.
****
In other words, Yelena learns young that your usefulness directly impacts how long you survive and how much you hurt along the way. So when she's thrown into the Thunderbolts, well... let's just say old habits die hard, and Yelena doesn't quite understand this whole "unconditional safety" thing.Mind tags and notes. I own nothing.

Summary
Nothing.
There was nothing.
It was nothing.
“Soldier?” The doctor was no longer a man but pure willpower. Something inside of Bucky spoke without him permitting it.
“Ready to comply.”
***
His last punch was already in motion. He was aware of the door flying forward, off it’s hinges. But it was too late. He was forced to the back of his brain, the commands of the psychologist his only focus, his only ability.“Soldier?” The psychologist was now his will, and the familiar words were compelled from his throat.
“Ready to comply.”
***
Shuri had promised him never again.OR, the author rewatched Civil War, saw Bucky's desperation when Zemo starts reading his trigger words, and wrote a fic about his brainwashing.
PLEASE mind tags and notes for warnings. This is a little dark. Blanket warning for Hydra plus some brief wanting to die. Rated mature for violence and swearing

OR- a glimpse at how Clint, Laura, Natasha, and Yelena eventually formed a family, one Christmas at a time.

Three Veterans, Two Dinosaurs, and a Dragon by TheUnauthorizedAuthor

Summary
“A dinosaur?” He asks, more curious than anything, as he lifts the surprisingly hefty little guy out of his box. He’s green, with little horns- triceratops, his brain supplies from an unknown place.
“Yeah, like you.” Sam jokes. “No, seriously though, read the note.”
Didn’t want to say it out loud in front of everyone, but they help with anxiety. I’ve got one too. If you hate it, I can get you something else.
“Thank you,” Bucky says genuinely, and no he’s not petting the dinosaur, you are.
***
When Sam has no idea what to get Bucky for Secret Santa, he decides on something practical and helpful- a weighted dinosaur for Bucky's anxiety. Fluff ensues.In other words, the author has recently gotten a weighted dragon and is making it everyone else's problem. Teen rating is just for swearing, this is very wholesome. I own nothing (except the weighted dragon)

Summary
(inspired by the many tiktok comments under heartbreaking mlm ship edits going "do they know it's legal now?" I'm here to propose that no, Bucky does not know it's legal now. nobody really talks about the legalization of gay marriage anymore when you really think of it. it doesn't change too much but it's kind of funny that he just...doesn't know).
A short-ish getting together fic where Sam convinces Bucky to go on a mini roadtrip through Texas, through which he finally finds out that gay marriage is legal.

Incredible, layered, detailed Sam/Bucky getting together. 10/10 characterization both the banter and the trauma
