Summary
Bucky waved his hand. "If you hate the whole idea of this party so much, show it. Make a statement. Make it count. Subvert it. Get yourself a hero and go as the 'ho."
Steve groaned. "Can you imagine the response if I did that? This is Tony Stark. There's bound to be media coverage, legal and illegal. I can't show up in, in ripped stockings and shorts, Buck. I'm Captain America. There would be...backlash."
When Tony invites Steve to a themed charity costume party, Steve complains to his
crushfriend, Bucky Barnes, and ends up with both a date and a very, very bad idea. Featuring: Steve in high heels, manicures, gallons of mutual pining, sexual tension, and a healthy side of scathing social commentary.Series

Summary
"And what did you make of Dr. Smartypants? Quite a way with words, don't you think?"
"He's something," Steve hedged. "Was hoping you could shed some light."
"Where would be the fun in that?" Natasha chuckled. "Have I ever sent you on a wild goose chase?"
He sighed again, heavily. "No."
"Have I ever failed to have your back?"
Steve grunted at the irony. She'd been assigned to his detail just after he'd thawed out. The word he'd use to describe that time would be 'suffocating'. But then somehow, over the years, the chokehold had become an embrace. "What kind of minefield am I walking into here? Can you at least tell me that?"
As always, Natasha heard what he didn't ask her. "No. But I think you should let him fill you in on the rest himself. He is a historian, after all. Don't want to steal all of his thunder."
Steve laughed despite himself. "So you think I should do this?"
"I think it's been a long time since you've had a real adventure." Steve would have rolled his eyes at her mom-ing him if it wasn't, well, the truth.
Or: Steve receives a letter from Dr. J.B. Barnes, Brooklyn Historical Society. Except not quite that J.B. Barnes.

A Safe Place To Land by Gloromeien, kahey2804

Summary
Bucky Barnes had it all—grease under his fingernails, dog fur behind the cushions of his couch, a cozy place to call his own. The house, the truck, the dogs, the works. A ride-or-die, close-knit community. A patch of land he could wander. A mountain view to inspire him. After six tours of duty and nine months in captivity, Bucky knew how bad things could get, so he didn't dare ask for anything else. Especially not someone to hold.
Until a tall, blond super-soldier crash-landed into his quiet life and threatened to make all his dreams come true.
For now.

Summary
The biggest lies are usually the ones we tell ourselves, and Steve has been telling lots of lies, especially lately. That in spite of how he can’t stop chewing his fingernails bloody, the never ending nightmares chasing him out of bed, and the way merely seeing ice sends him into a panic, he’s fine.
But when his latest mission with The Avengers goes horribly wrong, Steve can no longer keep lying, not even to himself.
Diagnosed with PTSD and placed on medical leave, initially Steve is resentful, stubbornly refusing the idea there’s anything that can make it better. Until Sam suggests a Service Dog, and introduces him to James Buchanan Barnes, a fellow vet and trainer who swears one of his dogs can help, if only Steve can summon enough bravery to take a leap of faith and accept a four-legged companion in his life.
What follows is a long and winding journey of fear, doubt and self-recrimination. But also hope, acceptance and redefining what it means to be a hero, as Steve finally faces the issues that have been haunting him his entire life.
There is also a lot of fur, conversations with dogs, and a cross-country road trip, as Steve rebuilds his life and maybe, just maybe, falls in love along the way.

Summary
Steve can’t remember a time when someone’s touch had been more than perfunctory. A hand to his arm, moving him into the correct position. An arm around his shoulders, blocking him from a hit. He can’t remember the last time that someone touched him for the sake of the contact; because Steve deserved gentle things.
In a big, bright, lonely new world, Steve finds solace in a hair salon.
