Pairing: Firefighter!Bucky x Fem!Plus Size!Adopted Rogers!Reader
WC: 55k (Complete)
Summary: Bucky Barnes. The boy next door. Your brother’s best friend. The guy you’ve been in love with for as long as you can remember. Unrequited, that is, seeing that he only thinks of you as a sister (at least, that’s what you always thought). It’s been about a decade since you’ve returned home and reunited with the boy - now man - with stunning blue eyes and a smile that still puts a million butterflies in your stomach. You never expected to come back, thinking that you’d spend the rest of your life as a famous artist in Los Angeles with your boyfriend/manager. But things change, life gets messy, and now you’re back in your childhood bedroom living with your mom and working at the townie bar to make ends meet while you try to figure out what the hell to do next. The one thing that hasn’t changed? Bucky Barnes is still the boy next door, and there’s no running from him this time.
Warnings: ANGST (hello I’m back lol), body image issues, negative self-talk, emotionally abusive relationship, minor mentions of parental abuse, mentions of death, mentions of alcohol/drinking, very very veryyy minor hints of eating disorder/diet culture, protective Bucky unleashing his wrath toward people who upset Reader.

10 and maybeeee 12 with Biker!Bucky?????
I already did 12 but I’ll change it up a little for you 💖
10: “Nope, I’m not scared. Not at all.”
Bucky had been at the clubhouse all week dealing with a rival club who seemed to be the bane of their existence. You begged Bucky to come with you to this haunted forest you kept hearing about. Though he promised he would take you, it was still up in the air if this club didn’t leave them alone.
Friday night rolled around and you heard the sound of his bike pulling up to the driveway, though you didn’t get your hopes up. He was probably too tired and just wanted to shower and cuddle. You would do that without letting on any hint that you were bummed. Bucky strolled in with a smirk on his face, making you raise your eyebrow in confusion.
“So, are you gonna go to a haunted forest dressed like that? You know they say that what you die wearing is what you’re stuck in for all eternity,” he winked.
Your eyes lit up before hopping off the couch to run into the bedroom. Bucky chuckled as you rushed around to get dressed. “I thought there was too much going on with Hydra?” You called out as you pulled a hoodie over your head.
“Steve is taking over for tonight. I promised that I would take my girl to a haunted forest and I’m not gonna let her down,” Bucky said as he leaned against the wall.
“Remind me to make Steve some cookies,” you laughed as you walked out in jeans, boots, and a hoodie. “Are we taking the bike or driving?”
The two of you ended up driving since it was getting colder outside. Bucky was used to the cold wind hitting his face but he knew you weren’t. Pulling up, you could hear screams, laughter, and a demonic voice. You were already giddy with excitement.
The two of you got out and headed inside, Bucky paying the entry fee for the both of you. Lacing your hands together, Bucky led you into the opening and immediately a witch cackled, causing him to jump.
“Aw Buck! You’re scared, aren’t you?” You laughed, leaning up to press a kiss to his cheek.
“What? No, nope, not scared. Not scared at all,” he spoke, shaking his head. Always trying to be the tough guy.
“Okay, okay,” you rolled your eyes and continued on.
The entire time, you found out Bucky was jumpy. He would pull you in closer if something spooked both of you. You even had to remind him not to take a swing at any of the actors in their costumes since it was just for fun. He almost left you when a wannabe Pennywise jumped out of nowhere, landing beside him. He took off and left you with the clown, to which you ran after him while calling out his. He eventually stopped and you nearly kicked his butt for leaving you, but with love.
Bucky held your hand tighter, not wanting to let go as the forest went on. The clown had been the biggest scare, and you ended up finding out the clowns used to terrify him as a kid. The two of you made it out and at the end, they served hot chocolate to everyone to warm up before heading home.
“My little scaredy cat,” you teased as you sipped on the drink.
“You tell anyone about this and I won’t carve pumpkins with you,” he said, another promise he had given you.
Your mouth gaped but you nodded. “Deal.”
WOOOOOOOOW😍
these colors suits them well :D
riding that old man would fix me
(Header created by the FABULOUS @star-spangled-man-with-a-plan, without whom this story simply would not be.)
SUMMARY: Bucky Barnes is retired. He did a stint in the Army, did a stint as a Secret Service agent, even dabbled in the private sector, but that’s over. Now, he just wants to rest in the solitude he’s found in a cabin in the Adirondacks, with only his memories to get him through the sleepless nights.
Until his best friend comes to him with a special request. One last job, protecting the movie star sister of an old Army buddy. She’s being stalked, getting death threats, but that’s nothing they haven’t dealt with before.
Except there’s something different about this job. And maybe it’s not the job; maybe it’s the girl. But when it turns out that something sinister is at play, Bucky realizes this job … could be his last.
WARNINGS FOR THE SERIES: THIS IS AN AU, angst, danger, violence, explosions, stalking, celebrity reader, mutual pining, sexual content, emotional crap, blood, medical situations, hospitalization, character death
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This story is loosely based on the film The Bodyguard. (One of my personal faves, and not just for Queen Whitney singing “I Will Always Love You.”)

Crack thought with all the fluff. ALL the fluff. Maybe a tiny dash of angst at the start but it's to set the plot.
Everything that could have possibly gone wrong went sideways as soon as the mission started. The team was ambushed. Bucky was separated from everyone else. His trigger words blared through the speakers and there was nothing anyone could do to stop the soldier from awakening.
Worst of all, you were badly injured. Steve groaned in pain, struggling to pull himself up when he saw the solider lock his eyes on your limp form, taking long strides towards you with purpose.
That wasn't good.
"Tony-I-I need back up, y/n is-what the hell"
Steve blinked watching his friend pick you up with the utmost care, holding you securely in his arms. A hydra agent attempted to order him, only to be silenced with a knife thrown to the throat. The soldier made his way towards the exit with you along with a limping Steve trailing behind him.
"Buck-
"Быстрее" [move] he ordered, carrying you close to his chest and sitting in his designated on the spot on the jet. He didn't say a word as the others filed in, growling when Tony didn't start the engine up fast enough. No one dared look in your direction, not wanting to make the wrong move and happy that Bucky had busied himself with looking over your injuries, mumbling in Russian while letting his hand brush over your cheek.
As soon as the jet touched the ground, he was on his feet and carrying you over to the medbay, refusing to set you down until he saw a doctor ready to help. While it wasn't exactly protocol to have him in the operating room while the doctors worked, no one was interested in arguing back with him when he placed himself in a corner, watching intently. His blue eyes which were normally filled with warmth and softness were now stone cold, eyeing every single movement of what was being done to you, his gaze relaxing when the surgeon gave him a shaky thumbs up.
He sat by your side the entire time, gear still strapped to his body, watching the steady beep of your heart monitor while you slept, the rest of the team quietly waiting outside. Sam peered in, quickly retreating back when Bucky glowered at him, getting up and closing the door so you could rest. He and Steve continued to peep through the little glass window, immediately ducking when they could feel steel blue eyes watching him.
"Do we try and help or-
"I don't want to die yet, also based on what I'm seeing, y/n in the safest place she could be"
You sighed happily as you blinked awake, feeling hazy as if you were floating upon the softest of clouds. The room was bright and clean, you could have been in heaven for all you knew.
Or you were just high as a kite from all the pain killers.
Then you saw him beside you.
Such a gorgeous man.
Handsome.
One who gave you butterflies with shy smiles.
"Soldat" You giggled, reaching over to stroke his scruffy cheek, brushing your thumb over the scowl on his lips, "Hi" You admired his sharp jaw, idly tracing over his features while his mouth twitched into something of a smile, all his muscles finally relaxing seeing you awake.
You yawned, stretching yourself out like a kitten out before rolling over with a flop to face the very pretty man who was sitting at your bedside. Your admiration was cut short with the rumble of your tummy.
There was only one thing you wanted now.
"Soldat, I want chicken nuggies" You demanded, the growl of your stomach solidifying your request. He simply nodded, getting up and out of his seat, making his way over to the one place he knew you'd want your "nuggies" from.
"H-how may I h-help you" The Mc Donald's cashier stared at the numerous guns and knifes strapped to the infamous soldier, his metal arm pointing to a kids meal combo that came with a 6 piece nugget.
A little red box was placed in front of him at lightening speed but that wasn't good enough. He peered into the bag, frowning when he saw a toy that you already had. He grabbed it and placed it back onto the counter, staring at the trembling employee while they rummaged to find a new one, grabbing fistfuls and stuffing into the bag instead. The soldier nodded when he was given one you didn't have before, making his way back to ensure you were fed.
It didn't take long for the news outlets to catch on that the Winter Soldier was out buying Happy Meals.
*Tony's suit, Thors hammer, Steve's now broken shield and some gentle deprogramming later*
"Still want more nuggies" You murmured against Bucky's chest, still a little hazy while he chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead.
"I'll always get you chicken nuggies, doll"
