The Kids

Apparently there's only one thing that Sam and Bucky enjoy more than bickering with each other --

sometimes you wonder

                  sometimes you wonder why he lets you touch him

                  that night he scrubbed your hands clean twice,
                  and you still see blood
                  stuck deep in your pores.
                  your battle-worn tongue doesn’t say the truth anymore:
                  that you are ruined.

                  and you wonder why he lets you
                  — the butcher
                  touch him
                  — the sun

                  —im a prisoner to who i once was

Yeah, he is getting to look too old for the role but he is still one hell of a good actor and he gives everything he's got to the part. They should use all that fancy-shmancy CGI at their disposal to just erase a few lines and wrinkles off his face and keep him around for as long as they can!

I love this cleverly-written fanfic! Always a pleasure to read it.

The Smithsonian Guard by galerian_ash -- My Summary: Stan, the night security guard at the Smithsonian's Captain America exhibit, helps a homeless man at the behest of Steve Rogers. Author's Summary: Bucky makes a friend. "With apologies to Mr. Lee."

Excerpt:

Stan doesn't get fired.

There is a big fuss about it, naturally, but when Captain American himself phones to explain the situation, things calm down.

So he gets back to working nights and the early hours of the morning. It's what he loves doing, and he's happy that he's still allowed to be there. Happy to experience the solitude and silence of the night, with nothing but the exhibits to keep him company — and happy to see the first rays of sunlight filtering through the big windows, a few specs of dust floating languidly in the light. After that the visitors start to come, whether they're morning persons or just tourists trying to cram as much into their itinerary as possible.

And then, one day, Captain America shows up. He's incognito, wearing jeans and a baseball cap. Stan thinks it best to just pretend he doesn't notice, but the Captain's eyes roam over the place until they finally stop on him.

He walks over to Stan, politely taking off his cap when he's close enough to smile, though his eyes dart nervously around — clearly not wanting to be recognized.

"Hello," he says, "I'm Steve Rogers."

"I know," Stan croaks, before mentally kicking himself. "I mean, hello. It's an honor to meet you, Captain America."

The Captain's smile widens. "Please, call me Steve."

Unable to do much else, and feeling like a starstruck schoolgirl, Stan nods.

"I came to apologize in person. I'm afraid the uniform is in no shape to be on display, ever again."

"Oh, no — it's fine. It was for a good cause, right? Besides, it was yours to begin with."

"Thank you for understanding," the Captain — Steve — says. It looks like he's about to say more, but then his eyes suddenly fasten on something behind Stan. He grows very pale and still, hardly even breathing.

Stan turns to follow his line of vision. They're close by the Captain America section, but it's too early in the day for there to be much of a crowd. It doesn't take much guessing to understand who has caught Steve's attention.

"Aha," he says, feeling an odd swell of pride, "you noticed him! He stood out to me as well, when I first saw him."

"He's been in here before?" Steve asks. He sounds very interested in the answer, but his gaze doesn't stray from the man before them — it doesn't even look like he's blinking.

"He's shown up every day around this time, for... about a week? Right after you stole-" he cuts himself off, horrified.

But Steve doesn't even seem to realize his faux pas. He just keeps on staring. Shrugging, Stan continues. "Like I said, I paid him close attention at first, but he's harmless. He just hangs around this particular exhibit until it starts getting crowded, and then he leaves. Probably homeless, what with the scruffy look and always wearing the same clothes. The admission's free, so a lot people like him come in here to get warm."

And What Happens Next?

The Red Henley

[by ambayeah]

Everybody always goes ON and ON about Bucky's sexy red Henley that he wears in CA:CW, but no one ever wonders where it came from. How did Bucky acquire it? Here's the true story!

The Story of the Red Henley by Bundibird -- Author's Summary: He… likes the colour. Was red his favourite colour, before? He doesn’t know. Maybe it was. My Summary: After escaping from Hydra, Bucky is tired of wearing all black. He finds a used red shirt he likes at a thrift store but doesn't have $2 to pay for it. But he won't steal from a charity because he's trying to live a better life now that he's no longer the Winter Soldier.

Excerpt:

He presses his lips together and puts the (warm, comfortable, not-black) shirt back on the end of the rack, where he first pulled it from, and turns away.

 He’s barely taken two steps before a voice speaks up from behind and to the right of him.

 “Y’alright, son?”

 And Bucky would be startled, if he hadn’t noticed the man before he’d even stepped fully outside, but fortunately for all involved, Bucky had noticed him – noticed him before Bucky even paused to look at the shirt, spotted the old man pottering around inside tidying shelves and dusting and dismissed him as not a threat, even when the old man caught sight of Bucky a few moments later and started covertly watching him.

 Bucky nods once, short and dismissive, eager to be on his way, now that he's decided he's not stealing the shirt.

 “You interested in the Henley?” the old man asks, and Bucky pauses for a moment and then nods again,

 And then he says, “I haven’t got two dollars,” because sure, he could just walk away and ignore the man, but that would be rude, and he’s been trying to remember how to be more like the James Buchanan Barnes he once was, and he has a feeling that James Buchanan Barnes would think about as highly about being needlessly rude to old people as he would think about stealing from charity, so.
