Being with bucky after the winter soldier
This is my first time posting so sorry for any errors
I feel like not enough people take about bucky after civil war he needs so much love then but here you go the headcanons enjoy
• These headcanons are full of angst but that realistic for his life sorry
• Bucky would react differently here if you knew him before the winter soldier or if you are meeting him as bucky for the first time here
• If you knew bucky in the 40s his trust will come easier than if you are a stranger but he is still extremely stand off ish he's not sure why your familiar to him or why you feel safe to him but those unanswered questions will worry him , but he knows you’re safer than hydra so if you offer him protection and shelter after he pulls Steve from the river he will go with you but he will be extremely on edge his trust will not be easily won but if you are dedicated and patient it can be gained
• If you have not meet before the connection between the two of you will have to come much later in his healing journey he is not letting a single soul into his life till he has figured out at least the tip of the iceberg of who James Buchanan Barnes is
• This will not be a fun or easy journey in either situation you've met him in. this man has been through the worst imaginable things and is trying to become himself again for the first time in 75 years it will be a long and hard journey
• Choice will be overwhelming for him at this time he has not had a say in anything for so much of his life ;what he eats, when he sleeps, what he wears, every aspect of it has not been up to him and having to decide it all on his own will be very overwhelming for him. you will need to help him without controlling him for example meals, give him two choices to choose from instead of every food being an option to choice from limiting it to just two would be so helpful for him
•He will need a schedule to regulate himself he was in the army then was controlled by hydra both which would have kept him on a daily schedule most likely he would find the schedule helpful when to wake up when to eat, this would need to be a schedule he makes for himself if someone else made it for him it would feel restricting like he would be punished if he did not comply but if he made the schedule himself it would help him have a purpose to wake up each day and know what he needs to do which days he gets the grocery which days he researched his past all of it on his terms and have a schedule would help regulate his system which would be all-out of wack from his former treatment
•In this time he will need comfort and reassurance more than ever but that comfort and reassurance will not come from physical touch for him for a very long time he was known touch as something that always results in pain so trying to help him with touch would have the opposite effect words of affirmation and quality time would be your best ally in this time
• With that being said as he starts his journey of healing and rediscover your relationship with him would need tk be completely platonic, he had been through so much and jumping into a relationship would not be good for his recover but having someone who loves him who is always there to support him without wanting anything in return would be the most helpful thing for him , I think if you had him jump right into a relationship he would feel like he owes his partner a lot of things he would bit be able to offer at this point and he need s to be completely focused on himself and healing instead on another person
• In time of his life his nightmares are worst they have ever been his nightmares are not just his brain scaring him it is his brains desperate attempt to get him to remember his life and for the first time his brain is not being wiped constantly so his mind finally has a chance to get those memories through to him sadly the effect is that sleep in miserable for him now
• He will wake up thinking he is back in Hydra, and you will need to reassure him he's safe. He will be very paranoid. You will need a lot of patience with him
• He spend a lot of his time researching who Bucky Barnes is if you knew him before you will be his greatest tool to learn who he was and who will be now , Bucky will never be 40s suave bucky again that man is gone and is not coming back that personality is gone but his heart , loyalty, ideals are the same your job is to help him discover that again think Peeta after the hackerjacker venom. Peeta was not the same, but he was still Petta bucky is still bucky, but the trauma has changed him, and you have to love him through
• If you knew him in the 40s you have to reassure him that you're goal is not to bring the man you knew back but to fall in love with the new man he is , he will be very afraid that you want the old him and not the broken empty shell of his former self he sees himself as
• He is broken and hurting. You have to be a balm to soothe the wounds of his mind
•This time in your relationship is painful for both of you and will be a painstaking process, but to help his sweet man regain himself and to see him heal will be so worth it

Umm maybe caretaker Bucky please and thank you because i feel like it would be the sweetest fluffiest of fluff to ever fluff 🌡 🥺
Alright, you asked for fluff...
The flu had hit you like a truck, with fevers and body pain since the morning before. Bucky takes it on himself to make you feel better, since it was his fever what got you feeling like that. The medicines were working on your body like a clock, so he would keep a close track of time to give you your medicine every time it was starting to fade away.
Bucky cracks opens the bedroom door to find you still curled up in a ball on his side of the bed, with one of his warm sweatshirts covering your body and your hands tucked behind your head.
"Doll, wake up." He whispers caressing your hair, and as soon as sleep leaves your body he sees your face twisting in pain and a groan leaves your lips. "Its time for your medicine."
"I'm cold." You mumble, not daring to open your eyes and risking getting a headache from the light.
"Come on, this is going to make you feel better." His voice is calm, almost soothing you back to sleep. "And I made you some tea."
You sit up slowly and take the pills from Bucky's hand and the tea from the night table. After a few sips you feel warmth starting to come back to your body, but even with that your bones stil feel cold. Bucky can sense it, somehow, and he draps a blanket around your shoulders, sitting next to you in bed and rubbing circles on your back. "Do you mind cuddling me?" Your stuffed nose makes your m's sound weird, making Bucky laugh slightly at that. "I'm just really cold."
Bucky props himself agaisnt the headboard and opens an arm to fit you in the space between his arm and his chest. The blanket is covering you up to your nose, and his warm body is producing the rest of the heat needed to stop the shivering from your body. You manage to watch one full episode of the Friends re-runs you found on TV before starting to doze off again, and without warning you are asleep, balled up against Bucky's chest.
He doesn't let go for a while, afraid you will get cold again and wake up, so he holds you close for a couple more episodes, just to be sure you will feel a bit better when you wake up.

Hi there! 😀 Can I request Buckyheadcanons, where he is in love with the Reader (who is Steve's older twin sister) and vice versa? During WW2 she was chosen as a female candidate for super-soldier program (dubbed Liberty Prime), but unlike Steve, ended up in Hydra's hands alongside Bucky. They molded her into a lethal weapon with additional powers, dubbed The Summer Soldier. Besides being a super-soldier, Reader is a tech genius (like Shuri and Tony) and a top-notch pilot.
A/N: Sorry this took so long to finish.
Bucky x reader 
Tumblr media
It was practically destined that you and Bucky would fall in love with each other. 
At first he was just Steve’s friend, an untouchably beautiful boy that you wanted to be friends with but wouldn’t begrudge Steve his best friend. 
But Bucky was already smitten with you and Steve was fine with you joining them.
So their duo became a trio.
When you weren’t with them Steve teased Bucky relentlessly about you.
“You practically worship the ground she walks on.”
“I do not.”
“Oh, I’m sorry Mr. ‘Are you cold? Take my jacket. Are you hungry? Let me make you something to eat. Want me to kiss your ass? Okay, I’ll do that too.”
But when Bucky isn’t there Steve teases her too.
“How many times are you going to ‘forget’ your jacket so Bucky’ll lend you his?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Oh please, at this rate he’s gonna die of pneumonia before anything happens between the two of you.”
“Shut it.”
Steve was the one who basically begged Bucky to make the first move. Listening to the both of you go on and on about the other was getting really old, really quick.
It took Bucky weeks to be able to muster up the courage to ask you out on a date.
But when he did, he waited for you on the doorstep. He was holding a bundle of your favorite flowers and looked like he might faint at any given moment. 
Before you could even ask him what was wrong he quickly asked,”I was wondering if you’d want to go get dinner some time? Ya know, just you and me.”
He was so nervous he practically shoved the flowers in your face.
You took them and smiled widely at Bucky. You couldn’t quite believe that he was asking you out but you weren’t one to question small miracles. “Of course.”
You two had been together ever since that first date. 
In fact, you both were so lovestruck that it felt like even the war couldn’t touch the two of you. 
Then Bucky got his draft notice.
And the world came crumbling down on top of you. 
You were at his apartment when the letter came. You had picked up all the mail and were going to set it on the counter for when he got home when you saw the envelope. 
You didn’t even have to open it to know what it was.
You sat crying on the floor to his apartment for god only knows how long. 
Bucky found you curled up in a ball on the ground; the notice clenched in your hand.
He held you as tight as he could. “It’ll be okay, Y/N. I’ll be okay. I promise.”
No one could promise you that. Not even God himself could promise that. But you nodded. 
You spent everyday with him before he was deployed. You never left each others side. 
Then it was the dreaded day that he left. You held yourself together until he left and then you fell apart. 
Steve held you close, promising that everything would be better.
You laid in bed for over a week, imagining all the horrible things that could happen to Bucky. 
You snapped out of it when Steve said that he was leaving you too.
“What?” You had asked so calmly that it had scared even you.
“I’m going to basic training.”
“No, you’re not! You can’t leave me too! Not like Bucky! Not like mom! Not like dad! You can’t leave me! You can’t.” You broke down into hysterics. 
Steve was your rock. He was your twin. He was the one solid thing in this shaky world and now he was leaving you too.
And then he was gone too. 
The next time you saw him you couldn’t believe it. 
He was tall and healthy and strong.
He engulfed you in his arms after one of his shows. Told you all about the experiment. 
You immediately asked how to be a part of it.
He told you he’d ask the directors of the project.
Then the next week, a woman who introduced herself as Peggy told you everything you needed to know about the experiment, including that you had been accepted as a subject.
Three days later you were in a lab in barely any clothes and having an obscene about of needles poked into you. 
Then there was all the pain. 
You couldn’t tell if it burned or if it was freezing. 
You didn’t even realize you were screaming until they asked you if they needed to stop.
“No, if Steve can do it so can I.”
And that was that. When they opened the machine you practically fell out of it. Your muscles, your bones, everything ached. 
But when you collected yourself it hit you that you were taller. And you had muscles now. And you didn’t feel so sick anymore. It felt like you could run a mile and not even be out of breath.
They dubbed you Liberty Prime and you became Steve’s partner for the shows. Especially for the shows with soldiers. 
Steve wasn’t exactly a hit with those crowds but they sure loved you. 
You two were having a good time. You knew Steve wanted to fight more than anything else but you were happy to be together. 
You found out about Bucky being captured at the same time. You stomach dropped and it took everything in you to not cry or scream.
You stood there holding onto Steve’s hand. 
When he left to save Bucky and the other soldiers you came with him. Howard gave you a shield similar to Steve’s and then the two of you were dropping into enemy territory.
When you found Bucky he honestly looked a little bruised and beaten up but nothing too bad. You hugged him and he looked at you and Steve in confusion. 
“I thought you guys were shorter.”
When you got back to camp Bucky let out a cheer for you guys. 
“Let’s hear it for Captain America and Liberty Prime!”
That night you all and the group that would eventually become the howling commandos shared drinks. 
You laid against Bucky happy that he was okay and that the two of you were together. 
The Howling Commandos became the group of soldiers if something needed to be done. 
You guys had mission after mission together but no one complained. Everyone was happy to be in good company. 
The last one broke something deep inside of you.
Steve and Bucky had gone onto a train. You and the others waited for them to get back and from further instructions from Steve.
Before he left Bucky gave you a quick peck on the lips. “See you soon, darlin’.”
Steve came back alone.
He told all of you that Bucky’s had fallen off the train and onto the ground below the cliff.
Everyone was hurt. Bucky was like a brother to all of them but they all looked at you. They were waiting for you to implode. 
But you couldn’t fell anything. You just felt empty. There wasn’t any pain in you just emptiness. 
You didn’t say anything, just stared toward the cliffside. 
Steve was crying. Everyone was crying, everyone except you.
The next mission you went on you slipped up.
To you the world was nothing more than a blur. Losing Bucky had damaged something inside of you.
You were reckless and hurting so when you heard Bucky’s voice yelling for you,”Y/N! Help me, please God help me!”You ran into the room where you thought he was.
When you entered the room the door immediately shut behind you leaving you stuck with only the tape recorder’s imitation of Bucky. 
Then the gad started pouring from everywhere in the room and all you could think was that you were going to die and leave Steve all alone. But you couldn’t say you were upset at least the last thing you’d hear would be Bucky. At least you’d finally get to be with him.
You were surprised, and a bit disappointed, when you woke up. You weren’t in the same room. You were strapped to a chair and facing a mirror. 
But then lights flickered and you saw what was behind the mirror, Bucky.
He was alive but he was screaming. He was in so much pain. There was something on his head. You wanted to look away but you couldn’t. You couldn’t get out of the chair. You couldn’t help him. 
It was then that you noticed his arm. One of them was missing. 
When they finally stopped torturing Bucky they moved on to you.
The same equipment was used on you. It hurt so bad you could barely breathe. You could barely think. Pain consumed your every thought until it was finished. 
When they were done they threw the two of you into a room together.
You held onto each other like nothing else mattered.
The torture went on for weeks and then for months and then years.
You had both started to forget things.You knew you had a twin brother but- what was his name? And where were you from?
The only thing that held solid in your memories were each other.
“Your name is James Buchanan Barnes. Our first date you dressed like we were going to a wedding instead of just a rundown diner. I had to fix your tie. We were soldiers together. I love you.”
“Your name is Y/F/N Y/M/N Y/L/N. I gave you your favorite flowers when I asked you to dinner. You wore this beautiful red dress. We shared a milkshake. We fought together in the war. I love you.”
You repeated this to each other everyday, desperately trying to hold onto something from your past lives.
Eventually you forgot those things too. You couldn’t even remember your names. But you could remember that you two belonged together.
They called him the winter soldier and you the summer soldier. 
Eventually the winter soldier got a new arm.
Then they started training the two of you for missions. 
You killed people without a second thought. They told you to do it, so it must be the right thing to do.
Every night you and Bucky and huddled together in a corner and tried to remember the things you’d forgotten.
You never remembered anything. 
That’s what everyday was for you. That’s what every mission was like. 
Or at least every mission until your last one.
A man had recognized you and there was an itching feeling in the back of your mind that you knew him. 
When he saw the two of you his face dropped. 
You froze but the winter soldier didn’t. He was yelling at you to get a move on but-you knew him.
The blonde man ran up to you and gave you a hug. “Y/N.” He whispered in your ear while crying. 
Memories came flying back to you.
He was Steve, your twin brother, and the winter soldier was Bucky, the love of your life. 
“Bucky.” You whispered, staring at the soldier.
“Who the hell is Bucky?” He left you standing with Steve while several other people stood quietly back. 
You learned soon that they were The Avengers. Everyone made you feel at home when they brought you back to the compound. 
You even had your own room but that night you slept in Steve’s room or at least you tried to sleep but without Bucky next to you the task was hard.
The next morning you told Steve that they needed to find Bucky. 
“Y/N, we’ve been trying to find you guys for years. We just couldn’t. We don’t even know where to begin.”
“Russia. We were in Russia.”
He pulled you into Stark’s lab where Shuri, Bruce, and Tony were all sitting together watching TikTok videos.
“Tony, she knows where the compound is. The one they were both at.”
Tony looked at you wide eyed. 
“I don’t know exactly where it is, just that it’s in Russia.” Then a thought came to you. “And we were surrounded by mountains. And when you looked at where the compound was it looked like a little village because the whole base was underground. There were just a bunch of small houses there.”
For a few minutes you spouted all the relevant and irrelevant information to the three of them and slowly they narrowed down where it could be until they only had one place left. 
They called a team meeting immediately afterwards and everyone suited up.
Steve wanted you to stay behind, to stay safe, but you insisted on coming. You were the only one Bucky would trust.
When you stepped onto the jet you were a bit overwhelmed.
It was a lot more complex than you were used to.
When it started flying without anyone piloting it you freaked out a little bit.
Bruce reassured you saying that it was autonomously piloted. (That didn’t really make you feel any better.)
So you sat in the pilot seat just to comfort yourself that if anything went wrong you could take over. You trusted yourself more than robots. 
When you got to the compound Hydra agents swarmed the team. You broke off to find Bucky. 
He was in the room that you two shared. When you walked in he tugged you into his arms.
“Please don’t go. We need each other.” His voice cracked. He sounded so desperate, so lost, so scared.
“Just come with me Winter. Come with me and they won’t be able to hurt us anymore. We could remember who we were. Please.”
He looked at you warily, scared about what would happen if he broke the rules that had been forced down both of your throats for decades. 
He finally agreed and along with the rest of the team you retreated back to the jet. 
It took years and years for you both to remember everything.
There were times when you were both terrified that you’d wake up and forget everything that you had worked so hard to remember but you never did.
Eventually, Bucky even worked up the courage to propose. He had given you your favorite flowers, dressed up like a man going to a wedding, and proposed over your shared milkshake.
