Title: The Alphabet Series
Author: thesardine
Word Count: 99k
Status: Complete
Summary: At a pivotal point in his recovery, Bucky is abducted and forced to act as the Winter Soldier for a SHIELD that is spiraling into the dark side. This won’t stop him from pursuing his goal: in the year 2016, times finally being what they are, Bucky has a very important question he wants to ask Steve…

My Notes: Post WS Bucky recovery series. Bucky is found and keped by SHIELD until they find him ‘safe’ and let Steve know they have him. Steve comes visits Bucky in his ‘room’ everyday until Steve demands that Bucky gets to go home with him. Here Bucky tries to figure out the ruls and he has issues saying ‘no’.

Why this fic needs to be read:
+Bucky recovers himself.
+Steve picking up little fun things for Bucky (shrinky dinks, smurfs, etc)
+Bucky and Pepper friendship
+Bucky and Jarvis making the tower a safer place
+heartwrencing Bucky as he does things to protect Steve and the little bits of himself that he recovers.
Goodness, I love this series so much! I know its labeled as complete, but I hope the author comes back with more ficlets.

Summary: Steve has no plan. Not because he hadn’t tried to make one. He’d tried to make lots of plans. Plan, adapt, plan again, tried to think of every contingency.And then he’d thrown them away, because there wasn’t much point. What could you plan for? He couldn’t guess the possible contingencies, the situations, the potentials. And he sure as sure hadn’t figured on what’s happened now, on coming back to his place and finding Bucky here. He hadn’t even hoped for that.He hadn’t realized he could.

My Notes: Steve goes to find Bucky but ends up finding him at his apartment. :D Then basically the daily life of Steve and Bucky. The main story is complete, author is adding on shorter one shots to fill more details of their recovery

Why this fic needs to be read: Basically Bucky coming back to himself, the ups and downs of everyday. Steve too has nightmares and bad days/week. +recovery isn’t a straight road, Steve and bucky have their ups and downs. +Mercedes(everything about this little girl) +the cat +protective!bucky +teacher!bucky (sortof) +Mr Remodeling Steve. I love the ousider POV of the boys (from Steve’s Coffee girl, Mercedes, Chole, etc.) +Elizabeth!

Summary: He’s not the Asset. He’s not the Winter Soldier. But neither is he Bucky Barnes. With the help of Steve, Sam and the Avengers, James takes the long, slow road to recovery. Nothing is as easy as either of them thought it would be.

My Notes: Post WS, he goes on the run, gets picked up by a trucker and goes to the avengers for protection. There he is in an environment where he can find out who he wants to be. 100k+wc

Why this fic must be read:
+Sam’s mother
+Careful consideration for medical procedure on James (anesthesia, consent, multiple Drs doing surgery)
+very slow burn :)
+Sunday dinner with Sam’s mother
+food

Summary: in which former army captain, current farmer Steve Rogers finds a bruised and battered and dirty stranger who remembers nothing and doesn’t speak in his barn. He takes him in, despite his friends’ advice not to, and helps him recover. It’s not easy. Especially not when, along the way, feelings get involved.

My Notes: Awesome Modern AU fic where Steve is a farmer, living out on a farm. Sam is his best friend, and they keep each other grounded, Bucky is the WS who escape and doesn’t talk for some time, but slowly recovers out in Steve’s farm.

Why this fic must be read: Daisy, Steve’s service dog, Atticus his farm dog. Steve going out to check on a disturbance with an unloaded shotgun. Steve naming Bucky ‘Luke’ before he knew his name. Bucky with his backpack and notebook. Steve just giving Bucky time and space. Bucky is known as the stray cat Steve’s taken in by most of his friends. Steve is a hoarder because his a sentimental sap. They both have nightmares and take care of each other. Bucky wearing Steve’s clothes, even after he has his own. :) Steve is still a terrible liar. Rumlow getting his asswhopped by Steve <3 Bucky does photograph!
